Cambridge newsroom update Make sure you check out our monthly CountryLife feature this week, with the lowdown on things rural and a sneak peek at Equidays – the annual mecca for horse-enthusiasts which is coming up fast. I went last year for the first time, and even though I’m not a horse person at all I still found it fascinating. Even the workshops with experts talking about horse whispering were mesmerising, and I’m sure many parents would envy the control these people can exert over their horses. Amazing. Also this week is the second instalment of From the Couch (page 18), a page about books and the telly, with a quiz thrown in for good measure. So far it’s been me writing the reviews for everything, so I would welcome anyone else who wants to submit a review – remembering this is a family newspaper – please flick me an email if you’d like to contribute.

In other news this week, the cherry blossoms are out as are the cyclists, and daylight saving time starts again this weekend. I always find that whichever way the clocks

Letters to the editor Editor I would like to apologise to those ladies who found me in the ladies’ toilet on the corner opposite the information centre Friday, September 21.

My wife who is in a wheelchair needed to go to the loo and after setting her up and pushing her to the toilet found that no disability ones were available as they were all out of order with not one working.

She had to use the normal toilets and because they are low she needed assistance to get off hence my need to be there to help her which was done with great difficulty and embarrassment to both of us. Many thanks to the lady who offered to assist.

Surely those servicing the toilets could ensure one is always working.

Doesn't give me great memories of the town I grew up in during the 40s and 50s.

Bob Geddes Council response: Mr Geddes is correct in that one of the disability toilets was unavailable that day as the lock had failed. The lock was replaced on Saturday morning and the toilet was fully operational again by midday that day. However, a further disability toilet in the building, which also contains a shower, was open and available the whole time.

go (Spring forward, Fall back), daylight saving messes me up for about a week while I get used to it.

The start of daylight saving is hard because if you’re an early riser, your normal 5am wake up transforms into 6am, so you have to be getting up at the equivalent of 4am. Torture.

And the end is tricky if you have kids, because you have about a Claire Robson week or so of them springing out of bed ready to rock and roll at 5.30am instead of the usual 6.30am while their body clocks adjust to the new reality. Also torture. But I think we can all agree that having a bit more light at the end of the day is a very good thing.

Claire Robson Editor

Editor, In response to Louise Upston M.P.’s (abridged) letter last week.

I remind her that petrol price increases are not the fault of the government but due to a 40 per cent increase in oil prices in the last year. Whilst better roads undoubtedly can reduce collisions safer driving practices do it better.

Waipa District Council intends to install an MVS system at several key locations.

Speed camera evidence – inadmissible at present to identify speeding “drivers” to impose demerit points – could be used if high definition cameras were installed and laws changed. Regular offenders who grudgingly pay the fines would also face disqualification. But, would the LTSA be prepared to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs?

In about 90 per cent of serious injury collisions a driver’s inaction who could have averted it may have got off scott free.

If we all followed the rules there would be far fewer “precious lives” lost. Let’s see some of this “consensus and cross-party cooperation” you once spoke of, if you are sincere.

The ‘B’ came back

The power of social media has led to the speedy return of the custom-made ‘B’ from the Bunnies sign, which was prised off the fence at the Thornton Rd early childcare facility sometime early last week.

Nobody noticed it was missing until Tuesday, but an appeal on the Cambridge Grapevine page on Thursday night and a report to the police led to the anonymous return of the B under the cover of darkness.

Centre manager Sheree Jones wanted to thank the Cambridge community and Cambridge Grapevine for the B’s swift return.

The ‘B’ from the Bunnies sign on Thornton Rd was hastily returned by thieves after a call went out on social media last week.

Volunteers recognised at awards

Three Cambridge identities were recognised at the Trustpower Community Awards this week.

The Waipā and Taupō-wide event saw voluntary groups from the two districts, as well as representatives from Trustpower, Waipā District Council, Taupō District Council and the community gather inside the Sir Don Rowlands Centre at Karapiro on Monday night to hear how 16 groups and two young people are making an impact in their community.

Te Awamutu-based community house Kainga Aroha Society Inc was awarded the overall Supreme Award on the night. Cambridge organisations were also celebrated, with Cambridge Community Gardens being named as finalists, and Act of Kindness (AOK) receiving an award for service to the community.

“We are honoured to have received an award at the Trustpower Community Awards,” said AOK coordinator Rebecca Broadbent. “It was incredibly inspiring hearing the stories of all the other groups

that attended. Our volunteer families use their time to make a wonderful difference in the community and we are thrilled that they have been recognised for this.

We love helping families volunteer in our community and are excited to see AOK grow.”

Cambridge High School’s head girl Nu’umoe Duffy was honoured on the night as the winner of the Youth Community Spirit award. “I was very humbled and overwhelmed for the recognition within my community,” she said. “I’d just like to say a huge thanks to Trust Power for hosting such an amazing event highlighting the countless hours and hard work that often goes unrecognised within the local community.”

Nu’umoe received the award based on her positive contributions to school and the wider community, having been involved in several local projects including Plastic Bag Free Cambridge, and performing musical therapy at local rest homes and dementia units – in addition to her involvement with school

groups such as the CHS Enviro Group, CHS Leos, peer support, peer mentoring, peer tutoring, and coaching netball and volleyball.

The supreme winners of the night, Kainga Aroha Society Inc, received a trophy, certificate and $2,000 in prize money and will go on to represent Waipā at the 2018 Trustpower National Community Awards in Tauranga next March.

Bring out your bags

By Claire Robson

Having spent the better part of the last year distributing produce and re-usable shopping bags, Plastic Bag Free Cambridge (PBFC) is now calling on locals to search their cupboards and turn over any unused bags in a reusable bag amnesty.

With a town-wide plastic bag free day planned for Saturday, October 13, PBFC is hoping that the stash of reusable shopping bags many people have squirreled

Plastic Bag Free Cambridge will be selling some of its special bags outside the BNZ on Victoria St on October 6 from 9am until they are sold out.

away can be handed over and put to good use. This includes any extra Boomerang Bags people might have lying around, as the intention of the group was for each family to take a maximum of two of the bags produced locally by the sewing collective. The bags will then be given out on the streets and in shops that normally use plastic bags, for anyone who forgets their reusable bag on the day.

Volunteer group Act of Kindness has been helping to organise the bag amnesty that will be running between now and October 13. Residents can hand in any clean, unwanted bags, such as ones given out at events, to a collection box at the library. Any extra Boomerang Bags can be hung on PBFC’s bag racks outside Wholly Cow, Fresh Choice or New World for others to use.

The sewing collective will also be outside the BNZ on Victoria St on Saturday, October 6, with a collection of their most amazing bags for sale to raise proceeds for the group’s costs.

“We have over 200 bags to sell and they are all really unique, with a lot of time and talent put in to them,” one of the organisers, Sam Brydon, said. The special bags will cost $10 or $20 each, depending on the amount of work they have taken to produce, Sam explained. “This (the sale) is partly so we can talk to people about the following Saturday, and about single use plastic in general, and partly as a fundraiser, as we have a lot of hidden costs such as hire of the community centre, sewing machine repairs, threads, cutting mats, and new cutting blades. There will be no limits on how many bags people can buy, they will make excellent gifts, and there will be a few Christmas themed ones too,” Sam added. There will also be an amnesty box for unwanted reusable bags at the October 6 stall.

Editor What has happened to the education system in New Zealand? Apparently, in a classroom, if a child loses control and becomes a threat to other students (and teacher), the teacher is expected to remove the students from the room while the out-of-control lout causes damage and deprives the other students of their education. Under no circumstances can a teacher (or principal) lay hands on an errant child. Presumably, the police would need to be called and police presence would be some time coming. When order is eventually restored in the classroom, is the errant student punished (suspended)? And are the parents expected to pay for the damage?

The education system has certainly changed from when I was a teacher. In those days, classroom discipline was paramount. No wonder many young people entering the workforce are not considering teaching as a career. Low wages and seemingly ridiculous rules make it a no-go area.

Walk for seniors on Monday

By Viv Posselt

Monday’s Cambridge Global Walk marking the International Day for Senior Citizens will provide locals with an opportunity to recognise the value of our seniors.

The event will take place at the Cambridge Raceway in Taylor St. Event organiser Florence Shearman suggests those keen to attend should gather from 10am so as not to miss the 10.30am exhibition of five two-seater sulkies carrying several local and national dignitaries around the track. That will be followed by an invitation for visitors to walk around the track.

Among those attending will be Waipa District Mayor Jim Mylchreest; Cambridge Community Board chairman Mike Pettit; Diane Turner, director of the Ministry of Social Development’s Office for Seniors; and Charles Gower, Waikato advocate for the Nationwide Health and Disability Advocacy Service. Other attendees are expected to include radio and television personalities, Cambridge Grey Power head Val Massey, and several sporting personalities.

“Those riding in the sulkies will be wearing a range of trotting and racing colours,” said Florence.

Refreshments will be on offer, and music will be provided by local group, Passion. The mayor is expected to give an address.

“We’ve had a lot of interest shown, both from around Cambridge and further afield,” said Florence. “Last year, there were about 200 people there. I’ve had calls this year expressing interest from Matamata, Te Awamutu and even one from Auckland. So, I hope we can get even more along this year.”

Youth MP applications closing The search is wrapping up for capable young persons to represent local youth at Youth Parliament 2019, but it’s not too late for interested candidates to apply.

Taupō MP Louise Upston said: “Youth Parliament is an exciting and engaging experience where Youth MPs will debate legislation, sit on select committees and ask oral questions of Ministers, just like the real thing. A Youth Advisory Board will also be selected from the applicants.

“This means that, even if you are not successful in being selected the Youth MP, there are still plenty of opportunities to be involved in the electorate and our youth communities through the Youth Advisory Board.”

Louise has been drumming up interest at high schools in the electorate and is someone who has firsthand experience of the initiative, taking part in the scheme’s predecessor – Parliament Week – back in 1988. And the

rest, as they say, is history.

Applications can be made by emailing your CV to connie. giquel@parliament.govt. nz by Friday, October 5. Applications from outside of the formal schooling system are also welcomed should the qualifying (including age) criteria be met, as detailed at http://www.myd. govt.nz/young-people/ youth-parliament/youthparliament-2019.html.

Local MP Louise Upston started her political career as a youth politician back in 1988.

Wheels rolling on pump track

By Sophie Iremonger

A group of bright young students at Goodwood School are working together to create a pump track for their school and Fencourt community.

The Year 5 and 6 students which include Matthew Johnson, Max Beaumont, Carrigan Rowe, Lia Bilbe, Luka Cranston, Oliver Crookston, Dylan Tollervey and Amy Laurent, have been working towards the project since the beginning of Term 2, sparked by a learning inquiry to build something

for their school. The original plan was to make an addition to the school playground, but when they visited other schools for inspiration, the pump track at Cambridge Primary School inspired them to create one of their own.

In fact, the idea had already started at Goodwood School, so the students took the reins and ran with it, coming up with a design that incorporates both a junior and senior course within the one bike track.

“I think it’s really powerful, a group of kids working together for the same

cause, the same idea,” said Chris Garland, the teacher facilitating the project.

Their plan, brought to life in a miniature model, includes a watch tower, storage shed, jumps and booms on the corners. Already spray paint had been laid down to mark where the track will go, in a paddock adjacent to the school field.

The school’s PTA has held a casino night fundraiser for the project, sought a grant and is planning a quiz night fundraiser in late October. If all goes

well, the track is planned to be built in early Term 4, once the damp spring weather has subsided.

The students said they’re most looking forward to seeing their idea come to life.

“I’m excited about getting the big scissors and opening it,” said Luka Cranston.

“I’m just excited to actually go on it,” added Oliver Crookston.

The group hopes the track will contribute towards physical education and help students to develop bike skills, as well as have fun.

Time to spring forward

Goodwood students, from left, Matthew Johnson, Max Beaumont, Carrigan Rowe, Lia Bilbe, Luka Cranston, Oliver Crookston and Dylan Tollervey (absent: Amy Laurent) stand where the new pump track will go, with the scale model they’ve designed for the project.

It’s time to turn your clocks forward an hour at 2am on Sunday morning, with the start of daylight saving. Here’s a quick guide to how to handle it: Smartphone – leave it alone, it does it with magic Oven – you will need a Masters’ degree in electronic engineering or a hammer Sundial – move one house to the right Car clock – not worth the hassle, sell it and buy a new car with the right time or just wait until daylight saving finishes VCR – hop in your time machine and return to 1996 And as always, it’s a great time to check the batteries in your smoke alarm. If you don’t have a smoke alarm, it would be a great time to get one. Now would be good.

PROUDLY SUPPORTING

Grants to cut waste now open Waipā District Council has $10,000 available to support businesses who want to reduce single-use waste in their workplace.

The funds are distributed by council through the Ministry for the Environment’s Waste Levy.

Waste minimisation officer Sally Fraser said council is looking for projects with an emphasis on innovative solutions for eliminating or reducing waste in the Waipā district.

“The fund aims to help businesses reduce or remove single-use items from their businesses and encourage the use of reusable products,” she said.

“Funding will assist the business

community to start their waste minimisation journey and ultimately reduce the amount of waste that goes to landfill. We want great ideas from businesses in Waipā that will stop a single-use product being generated.”

Funding is available to businesses that operate with the Waipā district, with a grant of up to $2,000 available for each successful project.

Applications for funding must be received by 5pm, Sunday, October 21.

For more information and to apply, visit waipadc.govt.nz/ businesswastefund or call in to the council offices on Wilson St next to the library.

Local couple will leave gap

By Viv Posselt

Richard Vaughan and his partner Karen Coleman seem determined to make their own magnificent version of a seniors’ movie.

The pair will soon leave Cambridge for good, heading for parts unknown. Now in the final stages of packing up their Leamington home, they will spend a month or so in a country cottage while awaiting news on their future. Be it ‘Plan A’ or ‘Plan B’, they’ll be off within months, fuelled by a desire to be closer to family abroad and, according to Richard, to grasp any opportunity to “grow old disgracefully”.

His two sons and only grandchild - and Karen’s three stepsons, six step-grandies and one step-greatgrandie - are all in and around the UK. ‘Plan A’ would see them settle near coastal Wales, perhaps even in time for Richard’s eldest son’s

Richard Vaughan and Karen Coleman pore over stories of their activities in Cambridge as they finalise plans to leave town.

December wedding, while ‘Plan B’ would see them head for the coast in New Zealand, possibly Thames or New Plymouth. Pivotal to the decision is news around Te Puke-born Karen’s settlement visa for the UK. It’s something they will need if settling abroad is to eventuate, and something they hope to hear on within the next month or so.

“So, while it’s all quite exciting, the ‘not-knowing’ is a little difficult,” Karen said.

“But either way, we’ll be happy. It’s time for a change, and we’re ready for either one of those plans to materialise,” said Richard.

Both of these delightful people will leave sizeable gaps in a community that has enriched their lives for the best part of 12 years.

UK-born Richard has been here since 2006. The couple met soon afterwards via what he calls a “golfing for idiots” day at the Cambridge Golf Club, followed by lengthy walks with their respective dogs. They soon became a team, with both taking on community roles suiting their interests. Richard has been involved with the Cambridge Chamber of Commerce, the Young Enterprise scheme through both high schools, Age Concern, the Safer Communities Trust, Cambridge Community House and has driven the St John Health Shuttle. He joined the Citizens Advice Bureau in 2006, rising to become chairman of the Cambridge branch and becoming vice-president of CAB New Zealand for two years. He was also in the news for his extensive model railway set-up.

Karen has been involved with Riding for the Disabled, has done her fair-share of fundraising, has modelled with the 60’s Up group, and been involved with Lyceum and Bookarama. Now, she’s feverishly trying to round off her tenure here by trying to find someone to replace her as chairperson of the local Arthritis Support Group.

Both Karen and Richard talk of how much they have gained from the community, and from the various groups they have worked with through the past

decade.

Thoughts of moving from Cambridge became more focused during a visit to the UK in April, where they celebrated Richard’s grandson’s third birthday and played host to a flotilla of Karen’s step-relatives who stopped by their Ludlow rental – “more like a B & B”, laughed Richard.

“Two reasons were behind those thoughts. One was that it was so nice having family around, and the other was the realisation that we weren’t going to be able to hack the 17-hour flights much longer,” he said.

Now, with the decision to leave Cambridge made, the destination remains unclear. But like those in the seniors’ movies they both enjoy, they are willing to let life take them in whatever direction wins out.

Once there, they plan to devote a few months to themselves before offering their impressive array of skills to another lucky community.

Call for new chairperson

Karen Coleman is anxious to find her replacement as chairperson of the Cambridge Arthritis Support Group before she bows out at the end of October.

It’s a position she has held since July 2012, and one she insists is far from arduous.

“We meet only once a month, and all I really do is organise speakers and act as the link between them at the meetings.

Anyone coming in needs to be have organisational skills and a sense of humour. That’s very important – we need to be able to laugh.”

Fundraising is also part of the gig. The group is currently engaged in adding to $8000 already raised to purchase a hoist for the hydrotherapy pool planned as part of the new Cambridge swimming pool complex. That amounts to almost half of what’s needed, and Karen plans to sign out of her role by firing out letters around town in the hopes of bringing in more.

Anyone interested in finding out more about the role of chairperson is asked to contact Kay Malcolm on 823 1930.

WE CAN HELP. Kit-Markin Homes, qualified, master builders can help you with the plans and design for your new build or renovation working together as a team, from the beginning to the end of the project.

Local book launch for charity

By Claire Robson

Local charity The Waterboy is holding a book launch for its new coffee table book, More Than a Game, in Cambridge next Thursday night. The book is full of inspirational stories of kids the sports charity has helped in 2017, as well as messages from Kiwi sporting icons such as rugby player Israel Dagg, rower Robbie Manson, cricketer Tim Southee, and netballing great Casey Kopua.

Cambridge businesses have got right behind the charity started in 2016 by local Thomas Nabbs, including Five Stags in Leamington which will providing drinks and nibbles at the launch at Paper Plus, from 6-8pm on October 4. Members of the New Zealand rowing and Magic netball teams will also be in attendance. Proceeds from the book will support the work The Waterboy does, breaking down barriers that stop Kiwi kids from participating in sport.

Visit www.thewaterboy.co.nz for more information about the work they do, and to RSVP for the book launch, please email info@thewaterboy.co.nz.

ashes scattered via a space satellite orbiting Earth. The act was carried out in 1997.

When it comes to writing a will, it’s up to you what you put in it. Whether you leave the family jewels to the SPCA or insist on being buried with the WIFI password, it’s up to you – although there are some legal limitations, and someone realistically needs to be able to carry out these wishes.

“Very often the more unusual requests regarding funeral wishes relate to the disposing of people’s ashes.

For instance, one gentleman asked that his ashes be scattered off the side of a World War Two German navy boat,” said the Public Trust’s General Counsel, Henry Stokes.

“People often give a lot of thought to gifting things that might seem usual at first, such as maybe gifting one’s old false teeth to a museum.

But, actually, it’s nice that people think about how what they have

Council votes to boost numbers

The Waipā District Council voted on Tuesday to increase the number of councillors around the table from 12 to 13, with another representative for Cambridge joining the ranks at the local body elections next year. The Cambridge Community Board is also set for a boost, going from having five members to six after the elections. Legally, all councils in New Zealand must review their make-up every six years to ensure representation is fair and effective. By law, councillors must represent the same number of people, plus or minus 10 per cent. With the addition of one more elected member for Cambridge, Waipā councillors would represent between 3,670 and 4,485 people each.

Councillor Vern Wilson was the only councillor to vote against the proposition. Councillor Susan O’Regan noted that the legislation presents elected members with a conflict of interest and asked that this issue be raised, on behalf of Waipā District Council, with Local Government New Zealand.

Where there’s a will…

Alarmingly, 55 per cent of adult New Zealanders don’t have a will. Knowing you have an upto-date will is something that will give you peace of mind about your belongings, but it could also potentially save your loved ones from mountains of stress in the event of your sudden demise.

If today was your last day, what would happen to the things you care about? And do the people closest to you know your wishes for your send-off?

Fred Baur was a chemist from Ohio who invented the iconic design of the Pringles can and crisps. Pringles went on to become one of Procter & Gamble’s highest earners and today has annual sales of over $1 billion. In 2008, in accordance with his wishes, Fred’s ashes were buried in a Pringles can.

“Although there is a lighter side to wills, it’s also really important to give the sum total of your life – the relationships you’ve developed and the things you’ve accumulated – the consideration they deserve.”

• 55 per cent of adult New Zealanders don’t have a will.

• Modern family dynamics (new partnerships, stepchildren, etc.) can mean that wills become out-of-date, allocation of assets can be more complicated and beneficiaries can be vulnerable to claims. The way to avoid this is a rock-solid, up-to-date will.

• If a will is up to date and everything is taken care of, families can grieve properly • The cost of not having a will can easily be many times the cost of making one.

‘Fake-tortion’ email scams Netsafe has reported receiving numerous reports about an email scam where the scammer falsely claims to have hacked into their device and recorded intimate recordings of people using pornographic websites. The email threatens to release the video to their personal contacts unless the victim pays them a sum of money. In some versions of this scam, the scam email subject line also includes the victim’s password that they use (or have used in the past) for their online accounts.

The good news is that even if the scammer has collected a password for your online accounts, it is very unlikely that they have been able to use this to access your computer’s content, webcam or browsing history. The scammer is attempting to scare victims into making a payment to them, which Netsafe advises against.

For more information about how to handle this and other online scams, visit www.netsafe.org.nz.

POD goes bang Locals have been reassured that an exploding New World POD plastic container, which has been circulating on social media, does not pose a threat to public safety. Following the incident last week where a POD shattered as the air was being removed from it using the special air pump, Foodstuffs has said technical advice is that shards of plastic would be propelled inwards due to the vacuum. There is no risk of flying plastic causing injury, a spokesperson said, adding that while product failure is an inconvenience to customers it does not pose a food safety risk.

“It should be noted plastic imperfections can also lead to product failure during everyday use, such as in the dishwasher.

If any customer has experienced this issue, then we encourage them to contact our customer services team on 0800 933 033 and a replacement POD will be sent out,” the spokesperson concluded.

Learning all about heart tech Supplied by SeniorNet (abridged) ‘HEARTsafe’ is a community project which aims to increase the chances of survival after an individual suffers a sudden cardiac arrest in your community. They work closely with St John in providing training in both CPR and the provision and use of AEDs. In introducing this topic at the recent SeniorNet Social Meeting, HEARTsafe representative Pauline Honey (a cardiac nurse for 40 years),

FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 28, 2018

introduced SeniorNet members to AEDs, gadgets which many of us had never heard of. AED stands for Automatic External Defibrillator. These are compact battery powered devices with two adhesive pads on wires which are stuck on the skin over the patient’s chest. The machine’s voicetrack instructs the operator in timing of chest compressions, detects the absence of heartbeat and automatically administers a cardiac electric shock, warning people

not to touch the patient while shocking, but then instructs resumption of CPR. The lightweight units come in a carry bag and are strategically positioned in lockboxes on poles around the community. The external boxes are opened with a 4-digit code supplied by St John by phone, but those installed within premises can be accessed by staff or public. There are 26 AEDs around Cambridge, eight of which have been provided by HEARTsafe using local funds. For example, the latest one has been installed at Leamington primary School using money raised by the Rotary Club. It has been shown that

the use of AEDs in the first three to five minutes after a cardiac arrest increases the chances of survival by 40 per cent.

In Cambridge AEDS are placed at all the medical centres, Cambridge High and St Peter’s schools, the Avantidrome and the Don Rowlands Centre, St John, the fire station and public library, St Andrews Church, Briscoes, Z Service Station, Mitre 10 Mega, Hautapu Country Store, Cambridge Golf and Bowling Clubs, Gentle Dental, McDonalds, FreshChoice Leamington, Cambridge Kiwi Motor Park, the Chamber of Commerce, Matangi Four Square, St Kilda Café, Bunnies Childcare and the Kaipaki Hall.

Two bylaws get council tick

HEARTsafe Cambridge and St John have helped introduce AEDs to several local areas including Fencourt, Te Miro, Eureka, Kairangi, Kaipaki and in central Cambridge.

Pictured is Alan Grant (St John) and Henry Strong (HEARTsafe) with the AED installed in Matangi in April.

The Solid Waste Management and Minimisation Bylaw 2018 will help council better manage waste on construction sites, inorganic waste collections and one-off waste events and keep it consistent with other Waikato and Bay of Plenty councils. This will come into force from October 4 2018.

Changes to the Cemeteries Bylaw 2013 tighten provisions for monument heights and floral tributes as well as regulations for eco-burials. These changes will come into effect from November 1 2018.

Barry said councillors had requested more information on the draft Public Places Bylaw, particularly regarding proposed changes to mobile trading, before making final decisions. These changes will be heard at the Strategic Planning and Policy committee meeting in October.

Waipā District Council has approved a series of bylaw changes around cemeteries and waste.

Changes to the Cemeteries Bylaw 2013 and draft Solid Waste Management and Minimisation Bylaw 2018 were adopted at Tuesday’s council meeting following consultation with the community in June. Eleven submissions were received around cemeteries and seven around waste.

Group manager service delivery Barry Bergin said the changes would see Waipā using “industry best practice” and would bring its bylaws in line with neighbouring councils.

“While these changes are not significant, it’s good to be able to tighten up our bylaws so we can manage our cemeteries and waste streams well and efficiently.”

Days for Girls sew for suffrage Supplied by Anne Blewden A Cambridge group of 23 women sew once a month making sanitary shields to go in kits for girls and women all over the world who don’t have access to sanitary products. This month we sewed on the anniversary of women’s sufferage in NZ, Wednesday, September 19.

Days for Girls is an international nonprofit organisation founded in 2008.

No access to sanitary products means no school for girls or work for women.

Appropriate sanitary products help girls

and women with their education and helps to break the poverty cycle.

In Cambridge we sew shields that go inside kits. The kits are culturally appropriate, easy to dry outside, environmentally friendly and durable.

In a kit there are two moisture barrier shields, six absorbent tri-fold pads, a pair of undies, wash cloth, visual instructions, and soap. This year our kits have gone to Nepal, Fiji, Vanuatu, NZ, Kenya, Indonesia, Sierra Leone, and Belize.

Left to right: International chapter director of Days for Girls Tiffany Larson; Lisette Hulme, local Waikato leader; Celeste Morgan, founder and CEO of Days for Girls; and Cambridge organiser Anne Blewden.

We are a fun group of women who generally meet on the first Wednesday afternoon of the month and/or the first Thursday night of the month. We enjoy the social aspect of our get together and we enjoy being part of a group that is

instrumental for social change around the world.

If you are interested in finding out more about this group, please contact Anne Blewden 0276879724 or anne@lilies.co.nz.

SADD Week at CHS Students at Cambridge High School enjoyed a visit from Waikato Police during SADD Week, visiting the school with their “booze bus” and offering activities teaching the dangers of drink and drug driving.

One activity involved wearing special goggles to simulate the impact of alcohol or drugs in the system, showing how judgment and responses are impaired as they struggled to throw or catch a ball accurately.

The school’s Student Health and Wellbeing committee organised events and activities throughout SADD Week (Students Against Dangerous Driving) held September 10-16.

Cambridge Photo & Print turns One Selina Eason is a memory specialist. Her Cambridge Photo & Print business still prints between 200-1000+ images daily and produces a wealth of photographic books, blocks, canvases, posters, cards, mugs, and much more.

Creating memories is a happy, rewarding job involving a high degree of creativity. “We're not just standing behind the counter, we're creating the whole time,” says Selina, who has worked in the store for nearly two decades. “There is never a quiet moment.”

She bought the business last October with partner, Emma Oliver. The revamped store started life in 1998, within Munro's Pharmacy, and then became Munro-Burgess Kodak Express. Twenty years later, as Cambridge Photo & Print, the business is staffed by a team of professionals including Selina, who has over 22 years experience in photography and printing; pet photographer, Rachel Bryant; Beverley Ashburner, owner of Baby Shots Photography; and part-timer Paris, who is replacing Bailey.

Over the years Selina has produced countless images, seen families grow up, and experienced some big changes in the photo printing industry.

Although film has moved completely to digital, there is a renaissance of people reverting back to film use.

With the proliferation of smartphones and tablets, more photos than ever before are being taken and created into family memories.

Cambridge Photo & Print has four busy kiosks and offers customised photo gifts like books, calendars, cards, mugs and other creative products designed to preserve memories. A same-day service is provided for photo books, which are created on site.

Other specialty services include photo restoration, film and slide scanning, photocopying, passport photos and custom framing. User-friendly online services are also available.

Innovation, creativity and friendly helpful service define Cambridge Photo & Print. Staff can turn your favourite photo into an enormous poster and spectacular wall art, streamline the album design process, produce memorable and personalised gifts, print your old slides, and find a solution to your printing and photographic needs.

Cambridge kids have been getting the chance to learn the gentle art of mindfulness, with after school classes running at Cambridge Primary School.

The initiative is the brainchild of local mum Rachel McAllister, who said that the science-based practice is good for nurturing the mental health of boys and girls alike.

And the kids seem to agree, with a unanimous vote in favour of the Tuesday afternoon classes.

McIntosh tops Kiwi team

It’s been a stellar performance for New Zealand’s jumpers at the 2018 FEI World Equestrian Games in North Carolina, where local rider Sam McIntosh, along with Daniel Meech, Bruce Goodin and Sharn Wordley, had the most successful day ever for Kiwis at the event on September 20.

Competing against 125 combinations from 49 nations in the speed class – where faults are converted to time – New Zealand finished in 15th out of the 25 teams at the end of day one, on 13.03 penalties.

McIntosh, riding aboard Check In 2 owned by Takapoto Equestrian, notched

clear rounds to finish in 20th place with her 81.81-second effort.

Her fellow Kiwis – Goodin aboard Backatorps Danny V and Sharn Wordley on Casper – each took an unlucky rail to place 65th on 88.04 and 72nd on 88.66, and Meech (on Fine) made a clear round to place 51st on 85.8 seconds.

McIntosh was rapt with her 15-yearold stallion. “He was really working with me and jumping out of his skin,” she said. “It got a bit hairy after the water because I had a really long stride there but he is a super water jumper, so I just had to trust him and go with it and wrangle him back in after.”

Cassidy said. “I was really happy (when realising they’d won), but at the same time their routine was so good I wasn’t that surprised! … It was awesome.”

“I thought it was really cool. The hard work definitely paid off, it was quite satisfying,” said the team’s captain Cheyenne Oliver, adding that the competition as a whole was quite fun for the team. “Everyone was all smiling, everyone was really enjoying themselves, there wasn’t a dull moment.”

The team – Casey-Lee Clarke, Jody-Lee Clarke, Charlise Davison, Lucy Frengley, Ashleigh Hjorth, Kendra Macklow, Kelsey McCullagh, Amy McFarlane, Patyn Mockford, Ashley O’Connor, Cheyenne Oliver, Olivia Otto, Amy Sciascia, Asha Shipman, Katie Smith, Lani Smith, Milla Swanson-Dobbs and Mitchell Wilcock – will compete at the national competition in Auckland on November 11.

On day two McIntosh and Meech made their way through to the second round of competition, tackling a large and technically challenging Alan Wade designed course with 30-plus degree heat adding even more pressure.

It was a massive day for all 119 combinations; clear rounds were few and far between with just five leaving everything in place and coming home inside the time allowed, and four picked up a single time fault.

McIntosh and Check In 2 were ahead of the Kiwi team, with just a single rail for four faults to place 15th. “It turned out to be a very tough course today,” she said.

Daniel Meech and Fine had two rails down and picked up two time penalties to finish in 53rd place. New Zealand placed 18th with just the top 10 going through to the final team round.

Full results are available at www. nzequestrian.org.nz.

Cheerleaders on top Cheerleaders from St Peter’s School finished ahead of teams from around the country when they competed at the Cheerbrandz Spring Carnival cheerleading competition in Auckland on Sunday, September 16, taking out the title for the School Jump round.

The winning team’s cheer coach Cassidy Faber said she was “so proud” of the team, competing as the STP Diamonds. “They train really hard,” she said. “It all just came together on the day.”

The team mostly included Year 7 and 8 students, and they were competing in a high school division against teams largely made up of Year 11 and 12 students.

In addition, a few of the cheerleaders were sick, but it didn’t stop them from competing flawlessly on the day.

“We did have tough competition,”

Swimmer returns from Red Sea

By Sophie Iremonger

Cambridge swimmer Hannah Blackwood had returned from the FINA World Junior Open Water Swimming Championship in Eilit, Israel with a 25th-place finish and some cool memories after representing New Zealand at the competition earlier this month.

“I gave it all I had on the day, and that’s where it put me,” said the 2017 Cambridge High School graduate. “It was just an amazing experience … I’m so stoked to be able to represent my country.”

Hannah was up against mostly older competitors in the 18-19-year-old women’s division, having turned 18 four months earlier, in what was her first and last time at the biennial competition.

“I just really wanted to go and give it the best crack I could because I knew it was my first and last junior race,” she said. “So now it’s onto the big kid stuff I guess!”

“I thought she did a really good job, she couldn’t have given any more,” said Hannah’s coach Carl Gordon, a

former New Zealand representative swimmer who was on the side-lines at the competition.

Hannah said the prospect of sharks or other marine predators didn’t bother her on race day. “It plays on your mind more in training rather than racing, in racing you’re in race mode, so if a shark’s going to get you a shark’s going to get you!” she laughed.

The competition kicked off on September 7, with swimmers spending around two hours to completing six laps around a 1.6km course.

Hannah said it was “hands-down” the hardest race of her life, with the outside temperature at 40 degrees and the water a warm 27.

Despite not quite finishing where she’d hoped to, Hannah was still rapt with the experience and keen to keep on swimming to the next goal.

Hannah wished to thank the Perago Trust and the Cambridge Lions for supporting her on her journey, which was also self-funded by her part time job, as well as a big thanks to her coach Carl and her family who were on hand to support her in Israel.

“Israel was just amazing,” she said. “If I didn’t get the chance to do the competition, I probably would Local swimmer Hannah was understandably knackered after swimming 10km to never have gone to Israel in my life. reach the finish line, coming 25th at the FINA World Junior Open Water Swimming … It was very cool.”

Cambridge cyclist Jim McMurray has continued his winning streak since his return from the 2018 UCI Gran Frodo World Champs, joining Heath Lett, Glen Carabine, Lee McLean, David Addison and Simon Hammond to secure the win in Race 1 of the 2018 Dynamo Team Championship on Sunday.

The team was racing together for the fourth time since the annual competition began, putting in a tough fight for the finish outside Leamington School, with just six seconds separating the top three riders.

The local team Xander White, Alex Heaney, Michael Torckler, Josh Kuysten and Sam Gaze also raced on Sunday under the GD Pringle Building/Spoken Cycles banner, coming out with first-place success in Category 1 with a winning time of 30 minutes and eight seconds, 24 seconds ahead of the next finisher. Their Category 2 team, which included Bair Taylor, Logan Holzer, Mike Gilbert, Mike Davis, James Harvey and Gary Mikkelson, was third in 32 minutes and 13 seconds, six seconds behind the Cambridge winners.

GD Pringle Building/Spoken Cycles also entered a Category 3 team which finished first in a time of 33.46, 11 seconds faster than their closest rival. The team included Mike Gascoigne, Finn Howard, Ben Hoy, Grant Tuffery, Mike Black and Daniel Barnett.

Cycling New Zealand last week named a 37-strong squad of elite and junior riders set to contest the Oceania Championships in Adelaide next month, including several Cambridge riders.

Former St Peter’s School students and Cambridge locals Ellesse Andrews and Rushlee Buchanan were named in the endurance squad, and Cambridge High School students Mya Anderson and Reuben Webster will compete on the junior team.

Now preparing for the big event on October 10-13, the competition will be the first chance for the young riders to obtain ranking points towards the World Championships and ultimately the Tokyo Olympics.

“Some of our track riders have been training hard both here in Cambridge and in some cases overseas and are itching to finally get on the track to compete,” said Cycling NZ high performance director Martin Barras.

“This is an important summer ahead as we look to performances at the World Cups and World Championships, including a World Cup competition here in Cambridge which the entire high-performance group are excited about. They do not get to race in front of their family

and friends very often, so that will be a real highlight of the summer for them.”

Also contributing towards their World Champ and Olympic rankings will be the 2019 UCI Track Cycling World Cup, being hosted here in Cambridge at the Avantidrome in January. Sell-out crowds are expected at the local

venue, lining up to watch 300 of the world’s best track cyclists compete from January 18 – 20 next year.

The newly named New Zealand team will head to Adelaide next week for the Oceania competition, before several members of the team will compete in the French and Canadian rounds of the UCI Track World Cup later next month.

Rushlee Buchanan, pictured after winning the Vantage Criterium National Championships in November, could have more reason to celebrate when she competes at the Oceania track championships next month.

Champion two-year-old continues to shine

By Candice Gollan

Champion two-year-old Avantage, pictured, continued to show her class when she was victorious in the Group Three Hawke’s Bay Breeders Gold Trail Stakes (1200m) at Hastings on Saturday.

The Jamie Richards-trained daughter

of Fastnet Rock (AUS) and jockey Danielle Johnson fought hard to the line and held off a challenge from rival, Xpression.

“She has the heart of a lion,” Johnson said. “Just a great thrill.”

Richards only concern coming into the race was second-place getter, Xpression.

Melody Belle ‘dream result’

By Candice Gollan

Matamata-trained Melody Belle has achieved a feat that no horse before her had when she took out the Group One Windsor Park Plate (1600m) in convincing style at Hastings on Saturday.

The Jamie Richards-trained daughter of Commands has now won two out of the three legs of the Triple Crown, starting with her win in the Group One Tarzino Trophy three-weeks ago.

Coming off the back of her Group Two Lisa Chittick Plate win at Te Rapa in August.

“She’s terrific,” Richards said. “She’s good and she knows it.”

“I had talked up the second horse all week, as I think she’s a serious filly, so you’ve seen two promising horses,” Richards said.

A trip to the South Island for the Group One gavelhouse.com New Zealand 1000 guineas (1600m) in November could be on the cards for the three-year-old stable favourite.

“We love her at home,” Richards said.

“We have a few options,” Richards said. “We could send her to the South Island.”

“We will sit down and have a chat with Karyn [Ellis] who is the Syndicate

manager and look at our options.”

As a two-year-old Avantage won five of her six starts, with the highlights being the Group One Manawatu Sires’ Produce Stakes and the Karaka Million.

Her only defeat came when she was second in the Group One Sistema Stakes.

This earned her the title of Champion two-year-old for the 2017/2018 season.

Avantage was a $210,000 purchase by David Ellis from The Oaks Stud draft during the premier session of the 2017 National Yearling Sale at Karaka.

“It’s a dream result.”

Despite being one win away from achieving the Triple Crown, Richards has no plans to send the four-year-old to the Livamol Classic.

“I think we will just look after and give her a spell now,” he said.

The current plan is that Melody Belle will be prepared for the New Years Day running of the Sistema Railway (1200m) at Ellerslie and then go to the JR & N Berkett Telegraph at Trentham on January 19th.

Melody Belle was a $57,500 purchase

by Te Akau’s David Ellis from Haunui Farm’s premier yearling sale at Karaka in 2016. She has earned $1,123,906.

New Books

No one can hear you by NIKKI CRUTCHLEY

Reviewed by Claire Robson This independently-published novel by local author Nikki Crutchley grabbed me on the first page and didn’t put me down throughout. Set in the small New Zealand town of Crawton, No one can hear you follows protagonist Zoe Haywood, who returns to the town to bury her mother, Lillian. It doesn’t take long before the questions start building up, with years of secrets and a seedy underbelly lurking just under the surface of the picturesque Kiwi town. Fighting advancing Alzheimer’s, Lillian had clearly stumbled on something, but how could Zoe be sure what was real and what was the toll the disease was taking on her estranged mother? This is an epic whodunnit and has more twists and Local author Nikki Crutchley turns than a twisty turny thing. I enjoyed the style of writing at the launch of her second and the feeling of home in the book – plus Nikki has been meticulous in her research, even consulting a local chemist book, No one can hear you, about whether or not someone would taste a particular at Tivoli on Sunday.

QUIZ

drug in whiskey if you wanted to poison them. No one can hear you has a rich cast of characters, and I think Nikki has a real skill in developing these. It’s a good summer read if you like a crime novel.

Cambridge News has a copy of No one can hear you (lightly read for review purposes) to give away. Just email sophie@cambridgenews.nz with ‘No one can hear you’ in the subject line and your contact phone number and you will be in the draw.

Comedy Pilot Week The Three Comedy Pilot Week will be worth a watch on demand, if you missed it during the week. Featuring five new shows over four nights, this offering from TV3 is based on an Australian format. Each show is vying for public popularity, with the winner going on to become a series.

The homegrown shows each look hilarious in their own right and given that we are such a small country they are peppered with familiar faces. You can find them on TV3 On Demand.

Midsomer Murders Fans of Barnaby and Nelson can check out their latest investigation on Friday night, 8.30pm on Prime. The murder-prone part of the English countryside sees the grand opening of a sculpture park as the setting of murder most foul. It’s series 18 of this iconic detective series that’s been running since 1996, and even hard-core fans of Tom Barnaby (John Nettles) who left the show at the end of series 13 should have warmed up to his cousin John Barnaby (Neil Dudgeon) by now.

The Mothman Prophecies This underrated 2002 Richard Gere movie is screening on Saturday night, and is well worth checking out. Gere plays a reporter investigating the death of his wife, drawn into an unexplained phenomenon involving sightings of an unusual creature – the Mothman. This movie is apparently based on actual events that occurred between November 1966 and December 1967 in West Virginia. Worth a look, it’s on Duke at 9.30pm.

Reviewed by Claire Robson Just when you thought we had reached peak reality TV, along comes Gogglebox NZ – a TV programme where viewers watch other people watching TV. Make sense? No, it didn’t really make sense to me, either.

There are 11 households in the first series, which according to the blurb is a ‘smash hit’ in 35 countries across the globe. This revelation made me simultaneously want to cry and throw my TV through the window, if this is the state of humanity. But I digress.

Taking one for the team, I sat down to watch Gogglebox on demand, armed with a cup of tea and a fair amount of cynicism. What I found was surprisingly watchable TV, and I found myself chuckling in spite of myself. The stars of the show, who are filmed watching other shows, are

an endearing bunch and I have to say that I found myself agreeing with a lot of what they said. It was funny, engaging, and not anywhere near as horrible as you might think it would be. I have my favourites already, which I suppose is the point, and I can only assume the rapport with the watchers will grow over the coming weeks of the series.

I will probably watch it on demand again, it’s great background entertainment if you feel like having something on the “gogglebox” (do people even still use that term for the TV?). A conflicted thumbs up from me.

Gogglebox NZ is on TV3, Wednesday nights at 8.30pm or available on demand. It premiered on September 19.

Four seasons, available on Netflix Always a fan of British crime dramas, it didn’t take me long to get hooked on Line of Duty. It’s smart, gripping and had me on the edge of my seat. Wikipedia tells me it premiered in 2012 and became BBC Two’s best-performing drama series in 10 years, pulling in a consolidated audience of 4.1 million viewers. Apparently, it’s made the list of the 80 top BBC shows of all time. I can fully believe it and was gutted when I got to the end of the final series, however I’m heartened to see that filming has begun for a fifth series that will come out next year.

The series features Anti-corruption Unit 12 (AC12) and takes a cat-and-mouse journey through Central Police of an unnamed major English city – possibly Birmingham but it’s never stated. The classic drama of “who can you trust?” sees the viewer mercilessly manipulated in the

kind of way only the Brits seem to be able to manage (it seems to me that the Americans always have to over-explain everything, losing a lot of the nuance that makes thrillers thrilling).

Pretty much everyone is under suspicion at one point or another, with both the writing and acting in this series flawless from the first episode to the last. Even series four, which I thought seemed disconnected from the first three at first, came swinging back around in what was a stroke of genius. The casting was outstanding and if you are a lover of intelligent, brilliantly crafted television then Line of Duty is the show for you. And with five episodes in series one and six in the other three, it’s not going to completely consume your life if you are compelled to binge-watch it (which you will be).

Five stars.

Line of Duty

Four things to watch on telly Gogglebox NZ Ranfurly Shield The mighty Mooloo men will take on Southland tomorrow afternoon (September 29), looking to complete a third successful defence of the Ranfurly Shield. The Waikato team lifted the shield from Taranaki earlier this month and then fought off Hawkes’ Bay to keep it. The team, which includes Hautapu players Ayden Johnstone, Laghlan McWhannell, Mitch Jacobson and Sekope Lopeti-Moli will take to the field in Hamilton to fight off the Southland Stags, attempting to make it three from three. The game will kick off at 2.35pm, and you can watch it on Sky Sport 1.

LANDSCAPING

Thursday, September 20 A burglary occurred overnight at Bunnies childcare centre on Thornton Rd where someone damaged the asign and stole the letter ‘B’. Thankfully the letter was returned to the premises the following night.

Friday, September 21 Police were called to a Jewellery shop on Victoria St around 8:30am after smoke was seen pouring from the premises.

Unfortunately, a staff member had forgotten to turn off the alarm which activated the fog cannon.

Sunday, September 23 A vehicle was broken into overnight on Thompson St that was parked up a driveway behind closed gates. Unfortunately, the vehicle was left unlocked and offender(s) have taken a wallet from inside. A credit card was then used at two petrol stations in Hamilton before the bank put a hold on the card due to suspicious transactions.

A vehicle was stopped on Vogel St around 5pm after police witnessed it drive through an intersection without stopping.

The 37-year-old Cambridge resident driver failed an alcohol breath test and will appear in Hamilton District Court on drink driving and dangerous driving charges.

Tuesday, September 25 Three young girls were arrested in Cambridge for wilfully damaging security lights at Te Awamutu High School last weekend.

There were eight family harm-related incidents and four bail breaches were reported in Cambridge in the last week.

If you have any information about any of these crimes, please contact the Cambridge police or report it anonymously via Crime Stoppers 0800 555 111.

Parenting seminar presented by leading psychologist “Parents have protected children too much from the stings of adversity.”

That was a key message given to parents and teachers of St Peter’s, Cambridge, by one of the world’s leading psychologists, Caroline Adams Miller.

Caroline presented a parenting seminar to the Waikato Independent School community on Thursday, September 20. She explained why grit is increasingly considered one of the key ingredients of success, and how to achieve it.

“Most people, in particular teenagers, don’t know how to identify and cultivate grit, and as a result, they don’t achieve their full potential in their work or personal lives,” she said.

She identified things not only to help parents but also their children, drive for happiness and success.

She said one goal each parent should give their child was to do something inspiring without needing affirmations or prizes. These days young people are afraid of failure but should instead use failure as a chance to better themselves.

“Don’t rob a chance for your child to fail so they can learn resilience,” she said.

She said young people are too obsessed about how people perceive them on social media. As a result they need five good comments to counteract one bad comment.

Caroline is the author of seven bestselling books, including her latest book, Getting Grit. She graduated from Harvard University and was one of the first graduates of the University of Pennsylvania’s Masters of Applied Positive Psychology. Her work has featured in international media including the BBC, CNN and the New York Times. She is a top-ranked masters’ swimmer in multiple events and has a black belt in Hapkido.

A Bigfoot named Migo is convinced that a human only known as the ‘Smallfoot’ is real and has to prove to his tribe that it does exist with the help of Meechee and the S.E.S (Smallfoot Evidentiary Society). It’s a 3D computer-animated musical comedy-adventure film. Shaggy and sweet rather than imposing and scary, like all of his fellow 18-foot yetis, Migo (voiced by Channing Tatum) is preparing to take over an important job. As his father (Danny DeVito), grandfather and ancestors have before him, he’ll fling himself through the air via catapult and ring the village’s enormous gong; an act the community believes awakens a glowing snail that lights up the sky each morning. It’s zippy.

It’s directed by Paul (The Heat and Spy) Feig and it centres around Stephanie (Anna Kendrick), a mommy vlogger who seeks to uncover the truth behind her best friend Emily's (Blake Lively) sudden disappearance from their small town. Stephanie is joined by Emily's husband Sean (Henry Golding) in this stylish thriller filled with twists and betrayals, secrets and revelations, love and loyalty, murder and revenge. The leading ladies are a great duo displaying electric performances. Such an amazing and interesting movie to watch, new and refreshing. You will love the way the humour is nicely interwoven with the drama. Should be seen by people who likes thrillers and mysteries!
