Scam hits close to home

By Claire Robson

Cambridge businesswoman Deborah Bunyard got a shock when she opened her emails last week, confronted with a demand for $7000US from a hacker.

Deb was on the receiving end of a new scam doing the rounds, where blackmailers email a target threatening to send videos of them watching pornography out to all of their contacts.

To make it even more disturbing, the hackers had knowledge of one of Deb’s old passwords and claimed to have used this to gain remote access to her computer as well her contacts.

Even though Deb does not watch pornography, she said the email still shook her because she was frightened the hackers would make something up and follow through on their threat.

“The scary thing is that you can be sitting at home, minding your own business, and a total stranger can come in and threaten you (by email).

“This was an awful experience for me, and I consider myself a strong person, so I can’t imagine what this experience would be like for those more vulnerable,” she added.

With her own computer’s security up to scratch, Deb

thinks the hackers got her password and email through Yahoo, which had all of its 3 billion accounts hacked back in a 2013 breach that is regarded as the largest hack in history. From there, they sent her an email in poorly-written English, telling her they had video footage of her watching pornography and that she had two options. The first, ignore the demand for $7,000US and the hacker would send the purported video to all of Deb’s contacts. “When you were watching video‌clips (she wasn’t), your Internet browser initiated working as a‌remote control desktop that has a k‌eylo‌gg‌er which provided me with access to your screen and also‌web camera‌. after that, my software collected your e‌ ntire contacts from your Messenger, FB, and ‌email. a‌nd th‌en i cr‌eated a vid‌eo?” the email advised. Her second option would be to make a “donation” to the hacker for $7,000 in Bitcoin. “Consequently, i will quickly delete your video recording. You could continue on with everyday life like this never took place and you would never hear back again from me,” the blackmailer wrote.

FRIDAY OCTOBER 19, 2018

Cambridge newsroom update This week I had a chat with Deb Bunyard, who you will have seen on the front, about her recent experience of receiving an email that can only be described as extortion. We ran something about this in Quickfire News a few weeks ago, and it’s a reminder that there are some truly despicable people siting behind computers around the world.

I saw the email, and even just reading it made me feel like I needed to take a shower. In disinfectant. I was happy that the police took the situation seriously, even though the perpetrators are probably well outside the reach of New Zealand law enforcement, and I hope anyone else affected by this will report it to police.

In other news, the kererū was crowned the New Zealand Bird of the Year, which is nice. I have nothing against them – I’m sure they are delicious (I’m joking) – but I always get astonished that any

bird other than the pīwakawaka (fantail) wins this award. As a longterm pīwakawaka voter I can’t help wondering if part of the reason they don’t win is because their status is listed as ‘doing OK’ and maybe people don’t think they need the encouragement. It’s been 12 years since those cheeky little beauties took out first place, so I think next year it might be time for another win.

We also had massive cranes in action in town this week, putting in the new wastewater pipe bridge down by Gaslight. I can’t help feeling

we might have missed an opportunity to put in a pedestrian and cycle bridge at the same time, but at an additional cost of something eye-watering like $17.7M and possibly not even feasible anyway, it was not meant to be. Which is a pity – it would have been excellent and maybe encouraged more people to cycle or walk from Leamington into town, easing congestion on the other two bridges. But let’s not get started on all that again.

Cherry trees top off season Cambridge Tree Trust had its final planting of the season last week with the help of Amber Garden Centre which donated a few flowering cherry trees.

“They are now in the ground at Brian Mayo Reserve and will be fabulous in years to come,” said Lesley MacDonald, team leader of the planting group.

“Thanks to Amber Garden Centre and also to the local kids who came and helped us plant them, great work.

“They did a wonderful job getting the 19 flowering cherries in the ground.”

Report signals need for change

Plastic Bags kicked to touch

By Claire Robson Plastic Bags were pretty much shunned in Cambridge on Saturday, with the town getting behind an initiative to veto the environmental pest for the day. Members of sewing collective Plastic Bag Free Cambridge distributed around 250 produce bags throughout the morning, as well as handing out amnesty bags to those who had forgotten to bring reusable bags.

Bag-making force of nature Dot Harding auctioned off her 1000th bag at Fresh Choice – featuring an applique turtle – which was

snapped up for $90 and then presented back to her. One of the organisers, Sam Brydon, said she saw one retailer getting a telling off when offering a plastic bag, with the customer saying: “You’re not supposed to be offering bags today!”. All three supermarkets were plastic bag free on the day and many other shops too, Sam said. “No plastic bags to be seen at the Farmers’ Market, and when we were was handing out produce bags in town at Vege Fresh, about 65 per cent of shoppers arrived with bags, and many others used boxes,” she added.

Overall, the day was a success, Sam said, and hopefully the start of more to come.

Scam hits close to home Continued from front page

The email also said there was a pixel in the email that told the hacker when the message had been read, giving Deb one day to pay from then.

Deb contacted police immediately, and said they took it very seriously. “They treated it as a blackmail attempt,” she said, and they are following it up.

Then it was then a waiting game to see if this

supposed video materialised, which of course it didn’t.

“The scary thing about this is there is nothing you can do to avoid getting these types of emails,” Deb said, obviously relieved the hackers didn’t follow through. “Everyone would know it was fake, but it would be just another thing to deal with,” she said. “I just feel afraid for those people who just believe everything, I’m sure some people would have wanted to make the payment.”

A lengthy report released into the culture and actions of Cycling New Zealand (CNZ) and High-Performance Sport New Zealand (HPSNZ), based at the Avantidrome, was released on Monday.

The independent report by former Solicitor General Michael Heron was commissioned in June after the sudden departure of former men’s cycling sprint coach Anthony Peden in May, finding that Peden had an inappropriate personal Former men’s sprint coach Anthony relationship with a female Peden, 47, now has a contract with the athlete and was involved Chinese national cycling team. in numerous instances of bullying and participated in a drinking culture. Michael Heron QC interviewed more than 70 people during the preparation of his 83-page report, which found that allegations that had surfaced in the media into the culture in the Cycling New Zealand High-Performance Programme were “well-founded”.

“They reflect a culture in the Programme of a lack of consequences for poor behaviour, a lack of accountability and sub-optimal leadership,” Heron said in his report, which included interviews with current and former athletes, coaches, support staff and consultants of CNZ and HPSNZ. Michael Scott, the CEO of HPSPZ, has condemned the behaviour and apologised to athletes affected. “There is no question that HPSNZ could and should have done more with the information we had. This is not something we want to see repeated. To any athletes impacted by the conduct of HPSNZ, we are sorry.”

A letter from Anthony Peden’s lawyer, Lisa Hansen, on behalf of her client said the report was “grossly inaccurate in many respects and based on unreliable and inaccurate evidence”.

The letter was scathing of the process of obtaining evidence, which it claims was “predominately second and third hand, and includes conjecture, perception, conjecture-on-conjecture, anecdote, hearsay, gossip and rumour”, describing the whole process as faulty.

“Mr Peden declines to critique the many errors in the report, both factual and inferences, because that may only lead to the airing of further untruths and inaccuracies,” the letter said.

While declining to make any response to the report that “might breach his obligations to CNZ”, the letter went on to say that he feels privileged to have been employed by CNZ and to have worked with a dedicated team, including staff at HPSNZ. “He wishes them well.”

In conclusion, it said that while there were numerous errors in the report, Anthony Peden “has reflected on his own behaviour and is committed to ensuring no criticism can legitimately be levelled at him in the future”.

The Waterboy’s founder Thomas Nabbs at the launch of the charity’s new coffee table book, More than a Game.

The wastewater pipe bridge was swung into place on Tuesday, with five of New Zealand’s biggest cranes on hand for the job.

Cranes over Cambridge

Some of New Zealand’s biggest cranes have been operating in town this week to install the brand new wastewater pipe bridge.

Cambridge wastewater from houses north of the Waikato River is piped across to the Waipā District Council treatment plant in Leamington. The pipe is now at full capacity and needs to be upgraded to meet projected growth. At the same time, the pipe bridge by the Gaslight Theatre is also being replaced with a new bridge brought up from Napier. Work on the project began early this year and the foundations and groundwork for the bridge replacement are now complete.

Five cranes, including one massive 400-tonne crane, were at the site as the

new pipe bridge was swung into place on Tuesday.

The big cranes will be more likely to be operating on still days, as some work cannot be undertaken in windy conditions, and are likely to be onsite until late November. Once secure, the old bridge and pipe will be removed.

The whole project, including the upgrade of the wastewater pipe, is due to be completed by mid-December.

Below: Workers needed a still day to get the bridge into position.

More than a Game launched

Sports charity The Waterboy’s coffee table book More than a Game had its official launch at Paper Plus in Cambridge last week, seeing more than 70 of the organisation’s supporters get together to celebrate.

The Waterboy’s founder, local Thomas Nabbs, said it was great to catch up with so many people who have supported the initiative in big ways and small.

The book is full of inspirational stories of kids the sports charity helped in 2017, as well as messages from Kiwi sporting icons such as cricketer Tim Southee, netballer Casey Kopua, rugby player

Israel Dagg, and rowers Robbie Manson and Lucy Spoors. Proceeds from the book – which is available at Cambridge Paper Plus for $45 unsigned or $100 signed by the sportspeople involved – will support the work The Waterboy does, breaking down barriers that stop Kiwi kids from participating in sport.

Remembering the Spanish ‘flu As the country prepares to commemorate the centenary of Armistice next month, it is timely to remember the influenza pandemic – also called the Spanish ‘flu – that swept the world at the same time. Cambridge, like everywhere else, was affected by the pandemic which is estimated to have killed about 50 million people worldwide. People from previously isolated communities, such as Alaska or the Pacific Islands, were hit particularly hard, with the ‘flu wiping out a quarter of Western Samoa’s population.

Blackadder coming to Gaslight Dr Walter Stapley was one of the medical professionals who tended to the townspeople stricken by the ‘flu, having been a doctor in the town since 1912. He died suddenly in 1926 at age 55, and there is a memorial seat in his honour outside St Andrew’s. the town coming back to normal.

The 1918 influenza pandemic was commonly referred to as ‘the Spanish ‘flu’ but it did not originate in Spain.

It was given the popular name by journalists when the Spanish King, Alfonso XIII, fell seriously ill with a form of influenza in May of 1918.

THE SPANISH ‘FLU

The Cambridge Repertory Society is commemorating 100 years since the end of World War I with an amateur stage adaptation of the hit BBC comedy, Blackadder Goes Forth.

Playing over November 10 – 24 at Cambridge’s Gaslight Theatre, and again over December 5 – 8, the show (written by Richard Curtis and Ben Elton) has been adapted for the stage by director Dave Stearns.

“We’ve taken four episodes from the original series (Corporal Punishment, General Hospital, Private Plane and Goodbyee) and moved them around slightly to allow for the complexities of transferring a television series to a stage performance,” said Dave. “Anyone familiar with the programme will spot the differences, but otherwise, this is a faithful interpretation of the original.”

The action is set in the British trenches of the Western Front in 1917 and chronicles Blackadder’s attempts to escape the madness of war, aided and abetted by upper-class twit, Lt George St Barleigh and the profoundly stupid Private Baldrick and his “cunning plans”.

“The wit and humour are still sharp after nearly 30 years, as is the satirical and poignant portrayal of the futility of war,” said Dave. n The season opens over Armistice weekend in Cambridge, with an additional matinee on Armistice Day, November 11, at the one-off start time of 5:30pm.

Due to high demand, the season was extended to include additional dates in December. Tickets are available from Paper Plus Cambridge and www. eventfinda.co.nz.

As well as getting to sample some of the delicious offerings laid out in the book, it was great to hear Jan talking about the various local producers the couple worked with to put the book together.

And better still, it is a fundraiser for Rotary. I will be attempting the Extreme Choc Chunk Cookies in the name of science and will report back on that next week.

You can find the book at Paper Plus and Jan’s latest food column is on page 27 this week.

Kids in Need has room to grow

By Claire Robson With a 130m2 new shed almost ready to go, Kids in Need Waikato founder Linda Roil is looking forward to the extra space.

It’s badly needed, as the charity continues to be supported by generous locals who have been dropping off clothes, toys and other gear for children around the Waikato who are coming into foster care.

Local businesses have got behind Kids in Need Waikato as well, with Jumble Around recently donating $3,000 to the cause, and $1375 raised by Mitre 10 with a recent Ladies’ Night event. Also on board has been Onyx Cambridge, which ran an afternoon tea recently with all proceeds going to Kids in Need Waikato. That raised $420, Linda said, and gave her the chance to share the work she’s been doing for foster children who very often arrive at a caregiver’s home with the clothes on their backs and nothing

Linda Roil in front of her enormous new shed, which will help take Kids in Need Waikato to the next level. else. Scheduled to speak from 3 – 4.30pm at Onyx on October 7, Linda talked until 5.30pm, “and conversations carried on afterwards”, she said.

Linda and her volunteers have made up about 440 packs for kids in need this year, with each containing toiletries, new underwear, socks and pyjamas and other things the young people might need. Linda is keen to see the end of the black rubbish bags the kids often use to cart around what possessions they might have – either those

or the ubiquitous red, white and blue striped bags – so her next plan is to provide each foster child with a backpack and sports bag.

“They deserve a proper bag when they go for respite or to camps,” Linda said.

In the meantime, Linda is busy applying for grants to get the new shed kitted out with shelving, with the aim of having morning and afternoon drop-ins where caregivers can come and find support and friendship. Not one to

forget the children, there’s also a playground taking shape outside the shed, where kids can play while their caregivers can have a coffee and keep an eye on them.

And Linda hopes volunteers will pop in and out to help make up the packs, with each one making a tremendous difference to children in need.

“People have just been amazing,” Linda said, adding that she had no idea Kids in Need Waikato would take off the way it has done.

River rescue honoured An off-duty police officer who scrambled into the water to rescue occupants of the ute that plunged off the low-level bridge in 2017 has received this year’s Police Senior constable Scott Quate (right) was Association’s presented with the Police Association’s Bravery Award by former Governor General, Sir Anand Bravery Satyanand, last week.

Award for his actions. Senior constable Scott Quate, nominated by his peers, was presented with his award by former Govenor General, Sir Anand Satyanand last week.

The senior constable was off duty, driving with his partner and baby to Cambridge on August 19, when a ute ahead of them left the road at the Fergusson Bridge (low level), plunging 10 metres into the Waikato River.

Without hesitation, Scott scrambled down a steep, 10-metre slope, then fully clothed, waded into the river, fighting the current and overhanging trees to help rescue the pair.

The Police investigation team noted that the rescued man, Derek Keesing, would almost certainly have died in the freezing and turbulent waters if not for Scott’s actions. Keesing’s girlfriend, Susan Donna Ramsay, died in hospital two days after the crash. Keesing was subsequently convicted of careless driving causing death for the incident.

Based in Napier, Scott works as a road policing officer. Eastern District Commander Superintendent Tania Kura said he had acted with great courage and presence of mind in very difficult circumstances.

The St Andrew’s Giant Craft & Collectable Fair takes place on public holidays twice a year in January and October. Pictured is the January event held earlier this year on Auckland Anniversary Day. Photo – Michael Jeans.

Craft fair biggest yet

The biannual St Andrew’s Giant Craft & Collectable Fair coming up this Labour Day is set to be the biggest yet, with founder and organiser Ian Dunn confirming a total of 114 stalls this year.

“I’ve even had to turn some away,” Ian said. “This year will be my biggest fair ever held.

“The craft is a very popular event.”

The fair on Monday, October 22, running from 9am – 2pm will feature a number of first-time stall holders, including Cambridge’s Lady Parker Preserves, Hamilton’s gluten free artisan Bliss Bakery, Mama Jay’s Hand Dyed Yarns from Tauranga and more.

Food offerings will range from “brie on a roll”, dumplings, noodles and salads to traditional classics such as homemade sandwiches, slices and sponge kisses – enjoyed in the St

Andrews’ lounge with a cuppa.

“What a great way to spend a day relaxing in the grounds of Historic St Andrew’s Church, built in 1881,” said Ian, explaining that the fair offers more than just craft, with items like plants, books, furniture and Christmas gifts, too.

At 10am the iconic church bells in the St Andrew’s tower will be rung, and from 10.30 local band Rewind will perform inside the church.

“See you there!” Ian exclaimed.

To find out more about the event contact Ian Dunn on 07 827 5678 or 0275 673 139.

Rock around the clock

Local dancers Anna Hastings and Joel Armstrong will be flying the flag for the Cambridge Cruisers Rock ‘n’ Roll Club at this weekend’s championships in Wellington, the first time the fledgling club has been represented there.

Anna and Joel will be hitting the floor in the novice section, while Anna – who only took up the sport last year when the club started – will also be competing in the triples with Hayden Middlebrook and Bridie McNeil from Tokoroa.

Anna Hastings and Joel Armstrong will be representing the Cambridge Cruisers at the NZ Amateur Rock ‘n’ Roll Association’s senior championship this weekend.

POLIO PLUS DAY – October 24 n By Greg Gascoigne, Rotary Cambridge International Director (Abridged) October 24 is Polio Plus Day marking a world-wide effort to eradicate the Poliomyelitis disease from the planet that once paralyzed hundreds of thousands of children each year.

In New Zealand, polio, or sometimes known as ‘infantile paralysis’, is almost an unknown disease. It has disappeared from New Zealand and most parts of the world as the result of immunisation, however polio still clings on in some parts of the world with the potential to spread. The disease could be brought into New Zealand by travellers and immigrants, it is important that New Zealand children and international travellers continue to be immunised against polio.

Like the ‘flu virus, polio is spread by coughing, sneezing, sharing drink bottles and so on. The disease is caused by a virus that infects the bowel and from there can attack the nervous system, causing meningitis or paralysis. Children who develop paralysis may appear to recover, many only to become ill again after a few days. The paralysis is usually permanent.

Rotary International launched its polio immunisation programme, Polio Plus, in 1985, and has generated more than $8 billion dollars (US) to fight the disease.

Today, we are close to completely eradicating the disease, however in remote parts of the world there is an occasional notification of the disease, triggering concentrated efforts to immunise the children. The last time polio affected a child in Europe was 2015, however Afghanistan, Nigeria and Pakistan are yet to eradicate the disease.

Rotary brings together a global network of community leaders dedicate to tackling the world’s most pressing humanitarian challenges. Rotary connects 1.2 million members from more than 35,000 clubs in almost every country in the world.

Their service improves lives both locally and internationally, from helping those in need in their own communities to working toward a polio-free world.

Rotary Cambridge annually contributes to Rotary International’s Foundation Trust and the Polio Plus fund assisting the organisation in its humanitarian work. Over the last three years, the Club has contributed $24,000.

Anyone interested in further information, or wishing to contribute, should contact Greg Gascoigne, 827 1897, Rotary Cambridge International Director.

John and Sally Coles on their wedding day.

Coles celebrate 60 years

Local couple John and Sally Coles celebrated 60 years of marriage last week. Their anniversary on Thursday, October 11 marked six decades since they wed at St Andrews Church in Cambridge in 1958.

With John from Tauwhare and Sally (nee Firth) from Hamilton, the pair moved to Arohena, just south of Arapuni, where they farmed a 700 acre sheep and cattle farm for 19 years, raising three children – Jillian, born September 1, 1959,

Annabelle, born March 15, 1961, and Phillip – a local councillor – born November 4, 1966. They now also have five grandchildren and one great grandchild.

After nearly two decades they moved back north, settling on

Hydro Rd in Karapiro where they have remained ever since. In 2011 John received a QSM for his various work in the community.

The couple named tolerance and patience as two keys to a lasting marriage.

Sausage sizzle for good cause A few Cambridge locals got behind the annual Pink Ribbon Street Appeal last week, running a BBQ and baking stall outside BNZ on Friday and Saturday – sponsored by local joinery business TDM. Volunteers ran several collection sites around town throughout the day on October 12 and 13, as part of the Breast Cancer Foundation’s nationwide Pink Ribbon street appeal.

The Victoria St sausage sizzle over Friday and Saturday raised over a thousand dollars, and although the full funds have not yet been tallied, the combined fundraising efforts around Cambridge are expected to have raised over five thousand dollars for the Breast Cancer Foundation of New Zealand.

MORTGAGE MATTERS

Why use a Mortgage Broker?

By Gavin Lynch – Yes Mortgages In the present loan market, most lenders are changing their criteria in regards to what, how much and to whom they lend. This makes it even more important to use a mortgage broker so you know you are getting the right mortgage and right lender to suit your needs.

I believe every client has a unique borrowing scenario and time needs to be taken with the client to understand and analyse this, so a correct lending plan and structure can be put in place to achieve goals.

In this column, I want to explain briefly the role of the mortgage broker and what I can offer.

The key role of the mortgage broker is to make the whole loan process easier for you, the client. This is possible because: I can look at all the lending options.

I deal with more than 25 different lenders and work to find the best lender to suit your unique situation.

• I can do all the ‘leg work’ with the lenders.

• This saves you time and avoids pitfalls in getting a loan approved.

• I can negotiate rates, fees, and legal contributions with certain lenders to obtain the best deal for the client.

• I can meet at a convenient time and place for the client.

• This can be in the home or workplace and after hours if need be.

• I can advise on the best loan structure to suit the client’s need.

And best of all using a broker is a free service in most cases. Now that has to be worth thinking about!

If your looking for a mortgage, please give me a call and I can help you though the whole process.

THE PASSING OF A MUCH-LOVED MAN

By Viv Posselt By all accounts, Clint Watkins wouldn’t have wanted some soppy obituary. He was a man’s man, it seems … his life was about rugby, cars, music, laughter, and family.

According to his widow Kris, family meant everything and she’s deeply grateful for the 40 married years of memories that will ease the path forward for herself, their son Andrew and daughter Amy. She said the twinkle so often seen in Clint’s eye shone particularly brightly when he was around his two granddaughters, Indie and Paige.

Clint was born and raised in Cambridge. The couple met as teens in Hamilton, and Kris said of her man: “He has given me a wonderful time. I’m very lucky to have had him in my life.”

After enduring five gruelling years of ill-health, Clint died at Waikato Hospital on September 15, aged 62. His farewell at Hautapu Rugby Club drew hundreds of people from the various communities he had been involved with. Rugby was a huge part of his life.

Mark Terry, immediate past president of Hautapu Rugby Club and one-time playing mate in the “rag-tag social team, the Hopefools”, remembered Clint for his passion for rugby.

“He had been with Hautapu since he was 17 – he was always involved, either playing, or as a coach or manager. He was a really good team man, one of those real characters who will be missed.”

Clint also started up the club’s under 85kg team, adept at pulling together players across a wide age range.

The late Clint Watkins with Kris, his wife of 40 years, in happier times.

He loved cars as much as he loved rugby. Clint was a founding member of the Stragglers Rod & Kustom Club in 2004, and according to fellow founding member Dale Gerrand, was a committee member right up to the end.

Both Dale and Kris tell the same story of the same vehicle – Clint’s prized 1947 Ford Jail Bar. It was stolen from their front lawn, disappeared off the face of the earth for eight years. But Clint refused to give up on it and kept the rego on hold. Bits of it finally came to light … more were subsequently found, and the old Ford was lovingly put back together by Clint and his Stragglers mates.

That story also played a part in Clint’s funeral. His casket was driven to Hautapu in another Straggler’s vehicle, and after the service, was placed on the back of that old Ford truck and driven through all the goal posts on the field. It stopped just once by the grandstand, long enough for Andy

to pick up a few bits of Hautapu grass to put on his dad’s coffin.

Clint’s comedic flair endeared him to everyone. Kris said he always admired his jokey Uncle Norman Higgins, who also spoke at the farewell, and Clint went on to win three stand-up comedy competitions in Hamilton. In recognition of her son’s love of laughter, Clint’s mum, Eileen Watkins, sent the couple on a three-day comedy cruise about six weeks before he died.

“He absolutely loved it, and the people on the ship were wonderful. He had to have dialysis; they went to every effort to set it all up perfectly,” Kris said.

Another great love was music.

Clint played drums for the Cambridge and District Pipe Band and played the guitar, strumming along on many post-rugby bus trips and gigging with a band called ‘The Slims’, where he was also a gifted lead singer.

His farewell service was infused with the sounds of Pink Floyd.

“Our favourite Pink Floyd song was ‘Comfortably Numb’”, Kris smiled, adding her “heartfelt thanks to all those who have supported us over the past five years, and who helped give Clint such a wonderful send-off”.

Left: Clint Watkins was a founding member of the Stragglers Rod & Kustom Club, and his prized 1947 blue Ford Jailbar truck took him on one last trip through the goalposts at the Hautapu Rugby Club after his funeral service recently.

Tucked away in a small building above Te Kō Utu Lake a group of artists gather each Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday morning for a few hours of creative chatter, with works of art to show for it at the end.

The Cambridge Society of Arts has been based out of the Thornton Rd premises known as The Painting Place since it started in the 1960s, and while members have come and gone, its spirit of creativity has lived on.

The organisation has 52 members on is books, with an average of 20 to 25 people turning out each week to paint, pastel or use whatever medium they like to create works of art. Some of these hang on the walls, some are for sale, and some are simply taken home or stowed away for the organisation’s two annual exhibitions.

For many, the group is more about having a relaxed social morning together, with art work to keep them busy.

“More than anything our group here is a social group – having a laugh,

From right to left, Brenda Barker, Jean Waterworth, Shirley Melville, Lea Woutersen and Susan Kirsopp at work at The Painting Place on Wednesday morning last week. having a cup of tea,” said Susan Kirsopp.

“You make friends, have a good chat,” added Jean Waterworth.

“It can be daunting for someone to come in… I was terrified when I first came, but I’m so glad I did.”

Member Ineke Matthys said both men and women are welcome to join the group, with members ranging from their 20s to 90s. One thing all the members have in common is they all love making art. “It’s something that comes from the soul,” said Ineke.

“I came here five years ago after I saw the ad in the paper and thought, ‘well, I like painting’, and came along.” she said.

Members pay an annual fee of $60 each January, though anyone is welcome to come along a few times to try out the group without any obligations of payment.

Four times a year the Society hosts workshops with professional New Zealand artists, and during the Cambridge Autumn Festival and in November they hold a public art exhibition.

Each month the group also spotlights an artist in their “feature wall” – this month’s feature artist being Kirsten McIntosh.

To find out more about the group visit the Cambridge Society of Arts’ Facebook page or phone treasurer Ineke Zegwaard on 823 3407 or President Lindsay Muirhead on 021 245 8800. People are also welcome to come along to one of the weekly meetings – held every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday morning from 10am to 12pm.

Band says ‘thank you’ A crowd gathered at the Cambridge Lions’ Trash ‘n’ Treasure market on Sunday to enjoy a free concert put on by the Cambridge High School Concert Band and Cambridge Brass Band.

About 35 musicians performed under sunny skies on Sunday morning to a cheering crowd, with the joint band raising $153 in busking donations towards the local Salvation Army food bank.

The performance was a thank you to the community for its support in fundraising for a trip to Le Quesnoy in France where the Brass Band are headed on the 31st of October to help celebrate the 100th anniversary of the liberation of Cambridge’s sister city. The band will perform at various events over the week including the opening of a new memorial. A number of Cambridge dignitaries will also attend the centenary commemorations next month.

“On behalf of both bands I would like to thank everyone who stopped and listened on Sunday, it was such a great day for it! I would also like to thank everyone who has supported the Brass Band over the last two years as we fundraised to get to France. We do hope to do our town proud!” – Larissa Schumacher, Musical Director of the CHS Concert Band and member of the Cambridge Brass Band.

Band members of all ages turned out to entertain the crowd at the Trash ‘n’ Treasure market on Sunday.

Massive medal haul from Nationals

By Sophie Iremonger A team of 27 swimmers from the St Peter’s Swim Club brought home fantastic results from the 2018 New Zealand Short Course Championships – so good that open division swimmers Paige Flynn and Vanessa Ouwerhand made it through to the world champs along with coach Carl Gordon, and the team’s 14-year-old female swimmers were named best in the country.

The event held from October 2 - 6 in Auckland saw the club claim first overall for 14-year-old girls’ points, as well as second overall for points in the open division and fifth for age group points.

Having claimed gold in the 100m and 50m backstroke, and silver in the 200m and 100m freestyle finals, Paige was selected to represent the country at the World Short Course Championships on the New Zealand team, along with St Peter’s swimmer Vanessa Ouwerhand who claimed a whopping six gold medals in the 50m,

100m and 200m butterfly finals for both the 18 year old age group and open divisions.

“They were great,” coach Alison Fitch said.

“The whole team did really well.”

“To finish fifth in the age group, second in the open, and then to be the top 14-year-old girls in the country is pretty good,” added coach Carl Gordon, who will join Paige Flynn and Vanessa Ouwerhand with the New Zealand team competing at the 2018 FINA World Short Course Championships in China this December.

In all, the team collected a massive 41 medals at the championships. They included: n Paige Flynn (women’s open division): Silver in the 200m freestyle, gold in the 100m backstroke, silver in the 50m freestyle and gold in the 100m freestyle. n Rylee Britton (14-year-old girls’): Bronze in the 100m breaststroke, bronze in the 50m butterfly, silver in the 100m individual medley, gold in the 200m breaststroke, silver in the 200-metre individual medley, bronze in the 100m butterfly and silver in the 200m butterfly. n Savanna Bourke (13-year-old girls’): Bronze in the 100m individual medley. n Chelsea Sharp (16-year-old girls’): Silver in the 200m breaststroke. n Kaitlyn Heaslip (14-year-old girls’): Silver in the 50m butterfly and silver in the 100m butterfly. n Sarah Wilson (15-year-old girls’): Bronze in the 200m individual medley. n Holly Isaac (15-year-old girls’): Silver in the 100m backstroke, silver in the 200m backstroke and bronze in the 50m backstroke. n Thomas Griffin (men’s open division): Bronze in the 200m freestyle, bronze in the 200m butterfly and silver in the 1500m freestyle. n Luke Mitchell (18-year-old boys’): Bronze in the 800m freestyle and bronze in the 1500m freestyle.

RIDERS WILL BE TESTED n By Andy McGechan, BikesportNZ.com Riders will need a good dirt bike, insane riding skills and a fair amount of luck at the third annual running of the Husqvarna Hard Adventure Enduro competition this Labour Weekend.

It is expected to be a “last man standing” affair again this year, with plenty of obstacles lined up to sap the spirits, trap, trick and wear down even the most experienced of dirt bike racers.

Staged in forestry land around Tokoroa, Putaruru and Taupō, it will take place over two-and-a-half days over Labour Weekend – starting Friday evening, October 19, and winding up on Sunday afternoon, October 21 – and, when the bike engines are switched off, or the riders cry “enough”, late on Sunday afternoon, that “last man” will have earned every accolade that could be heaped.

Cambridge diesel mechanic Dylan Yearbury had been forced to withdraw from the inaugural event in 2016 when grit got into his eyes and caused them to painfully swell up.

For the 2017 edition, Yearbury was back to “settle some unfinished business” and he did just that by winning it and this perhaps makes him favourite to win again this weekend.

The event is designed to be difficult. Using a similar format to the notorious Red Bull Romaniacs international hard enduro that is held each year in Romania. Each day’s track will be different, will be up to 150-kilometres in length and will feature Gold, Silver and Bronze-graded sections.

“This event will not be a typical New Zealand hard enduro; it will be real Adventure Enduro, and each grade will be set to give riders a real sense of adventure, as well as testing rider’s ability to complete the grade that they have entered,” said organiser Sean Clarke, himself a Kiwi international with outstanding

“This event is as close to the Red Bull Romaniacs as I can make it, so Kiwis can take the challenge here before going overseas. It will let riders know where their riding skills are at and what they need to work on.”

Sean explained that riders would follow a Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) course that is re-set daily and uploaded to their handlebar-mounted GPS device.

It kicks off on Friday with riders signing in and then undergoing motorcycle and equipment scrutineering in Tokoroa from 3pm.

“The riders can expect two days of hard riding on Saturday and Sunday that will push them to their limits,” Sean said.

There are about 300 kilometres of trail and tracks waiting for the riders, with section names hinting at what lies ahead – names such as “Parachute Drop Up”, “Log Jam”, “Keep your Lunch Down”, “Last Climb”, “Rock Garden”, “The Big Down” and “Romaniacs Ridge”, while riders will also have to take their bikes on a Flying Fox across a river.

An indication of just how challenging the racing might be is in a note to riders that they must also carry “survival equipment”, including a cell phone, first aid kit and survival blanket.

There is $3000 in prize-money, with the event sponsored by Husqvarna NZ, Forest Trail Events, Kiwi Rider magazine, SATCO logging attachments and Michelin tyres.

Waikato finish fifth in Roller Mills

By Sophie Iremonger St Peter’s School played host to 250 rugby players from around the North Island last week when the NRM Northern Roller Mills rugby tournament was held from October 6 – 13.

The Waikato team, which included Cambridge players Charlie Stewart, Ben Kibby and Clay Osborne, finished up 5th overall amongst the ten competing teams after suffering losses in two of their six games.

But the Waikato boys put in their best efforts none the less, culminating in a final play-off game for 5th or 6th against North Harbour.

After two massive victories in their first two games, winning 43-0 in round one against Thames Valley and 36-0 against North Harbour, their chances for a spot in the semi-finals slipped from their grasp after losing to Counties 5-19.

“That was really an absolutely physically tough game,” said the Waikato team coach Graham Wallace.

“Too many cards shown for junior rugby, but that was the nature of the game. It was just tough, brutal really.”

The team suffered another loss to Bay of Plenty 5 – 40 but redeemed themselves with a 19-5 win against

Cambridge Tree Trust

Taranaki to secure a spot in the play-off for 5th and 6th, where they won 34-17 over North Harbour to take fifth place overall. Auckland East won the tournament.

“We finished third in our pool which meant we didn’t have the right to play for a chance in our final, but we finished in the next best place we could from that point which was 5th. … So that’s great, the top four teams are always strong unions and we like to think were one of them, so fifth place was reasonable.”

Wallace said the Cambridge boys on the team put in great work during the tournament, along with the rest of the Waikato team. “They’re a great bunch of kids,” he said.

“We went into it really confident that we were good enough for a top four, and it turned out not to be, but it was close.

“That’s the nature of this sort of tournament, we have to bring our A-game to every game.

“The kids had a lot of fun and a big part of our plan is always to foster a really good culture first. … We’ve got a good environment and the kids all had a really good time and played a lot of really good rugby.”

Cambridge Oak Arboretum

Planted at the turn of this century as a millennium project, and released a couple of years ago from the captivity of wooden protector boxes, the oak arboretum is now looking spectacular. It lies to the east of Cambridge High School between Swayne Road and Robinson Street.

Visit here in spring as the trees come into flower and fresh leaf, in summer when they provide welcome shade for walkers and picnickers, in autumn to admire the red and yellow leaves and to discover the extraordinary variety of acorns, in winter to enjoy the tracery of bare branches – and the one evergreen variety still hanging onto its leaves through winter storms.

Wending your way along the various trails through the groups of trees you will find more than 20 different species of oak originating from many different parts of the world. These have been named by the Cambridge Tree Trust with details of their place of origin included. Besides the better known varieties, Quercus robur, Q. palustris and Q. coccinea, look for Q. acutissima, the sawtooth oak from Korea and Japan, Q ilex, the evergreen Holm oak from southern Europe, Q. cerris, the bitter oak from Turkey, and Q. alba, the white oak from the Eastern USA. My favourite is to be found on the western edge of the park near the high school, the corky bark oak from China, Q. variabilis; not only does it have an attractive corky bark but also in autumn a fascinating acorn which looks like a tiny hedgehog.

Cambridge Tree Trust wishes to thank:

The Waikato team of Year 7 and 8 players contested six games in the Northern Roller Mills rugby tournament at St Peter’s last week, winning four games.

Get gardening

A monthly gardening column, courtesy of Amber Garden Centre October is an exciting time in the garden, plenty of things to plant with new plants arriving almost daily in the garden centre.

VEGETABLES Labour Weekend is traditionally the time to plant tomatoes, courgettes, cucumber, potatoes and peppers.

Be wary of cool night temperatures and delay planting for another week or two if necessary. Plant more carrots, parsnips, radishes, lettuces, peas, beans and broccoli.

Regular plantings every three weeks will ensure a regular supply of fresh greens for the family.

FRUIT TREES Time to put out a pheromone trap to watch out for codlin moths. It’s used to show you when to spray with Yates Success or Neem oil to kill emerging caterpillars before they enter pip fruit such as apples, pears or quince.

FLOWERS Spring brings a feast of annuals – petunia, begonia, both bedding and tuberous lobelia, alyssum – all great for pots, baskets and garden beds. If you are looking for something taller, salvia clary sage along with perennial plants such as delphinium, lisianthus, rudbekia and daisies.

SHRUBS Prune flowering shrubs following flowering camellias, rhododendrons to encourage branching and feed with acid fertiliser. Hedges benefit from a light prune of new growth and a top dressing of sheep pellets or Novatec fertiliser.

Pony club riders all set to race n By Kay Hogan, NZTR Training Advisor Twelve riders from Cambridge, Taupō, Hamilton and Warkworth assembled with their horses at the Cambridge Jockey Club earlier this month for two days of fun and learning.

The “Ride to Time” programme held over October 3 and 4 was a joint initiative between New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing (NZTR) and the New Zealand Pony Club Association aiming to teach pony club riders how to ride at a given pace over a set distance to help develop the skills required to become a trackwork rider or jockey.

Several prominent equine industry people of Cambridge generously shared their expertise with the riders. Top local trainer Tony Pike gave riders a better understanding of what goes into the training of a racehorse and

Luke Needham from Fiber-Fresh covered the importance of correct nutrition.

NZTR Training Advisor Matthew Barnsley and apprentice jockey Kate Cowan took the riders through fitness and agility exercises, while one of NZ’s most successful former jockeys, Noel Harris, utilised the mechanical ‘horses’ to teach the position riders should use for trackwork.

Kelsey Leahey, holder of the “A” certificate, the highest in Pony Club, spoke of her experiences in transitioning from eventing to track work riding and training

The two riders who were closest to the set times were Cambridge local Jordan Smythe and Warkworth’s Amy Westlake. Both received saddlecloths from Love Racing.

Organiser Kay Hogan said feedback from the riders and their parents was very positive – riders went home with many useful skills and techniques and there have been many requests for future clinics.

with Jan Bilton

OUTDOOR ENTICEMENTS

I was recently asked to take a plate to share at a lakeside lunch. I was amazed at the array of enticing offerings: crusty chicken pieces, vegetable kebabs, meat loaves, French bread and pâté, submarines and salads galore. Three things they all had in common: they were healthy, colourful and tasty.

Quinoa was popular.

Pronounced keen wa — it is gluten-free, an excellent source of protein as well as B vitamins and is considered to be one of the ‘trendy’ superfoods.

Regarded as a sacred food by the South American Incas, quinoa makes a great substitute for rice and a versatile base for salads. Just add a variety of chopped raw

veggies, fresh herbs and a good dressing.

Although the popularity of kale is on the wane it is still considered to be a superfood due to its abundance of vitamins A, B6, C and K. It’s also high in calcium. Kale needs to be young and tender to eat raw and enjoy in salads. When it’s older it can become tough and is best stir-

fried or tossed in olive oil and baked in the oven, until crisp.

There are a couple of important rules to follow when eating outdoors.

Keep cold foods cold and hot foods hot. Ensure your chilly bin has ice below and above your food to keep it in prime condition. Hot foods should travel in vacuum flasks.

VEGETARIAN SCOTCH EGGS

Hard-boiled eggs are encased in a falafel-type mixture.

Coating: • 1 large onion, diced • 1 tablespoon each: olive oil, ground cumin, coriander • 390g can chickpeas, drained • 1/2 cup coriander leaves • 1 1/4 cups fresh wholemeal breadcrumbs (about 3 slices) • 3 tablespoons plain flour, plus extra for dusting • 1 fresh egg, lightly beaten • salt and pepper to taste Eggs: • 4 eggs, hard-boiled and peeled • 1/2 cup dried breadcrumbs • canola oil, for frying 1. Gently sauté the onion in the olive oil in a frying pan, until softened. Add the spices and fry for a few seconds.

Place in a food processor and whizz to a paste Add the chickpeas and coriander leaves. Pulse until finely chopped but not smooth. Stir in the wholemeal breadcrumbs, flour and the fresh egg. Season.

2. Divide the mixture into 4. Roll 1 hard-boiled egg in a little flour, shake to remove the excess, then wrap one portion of the chickpea mixture around the egg to completely cover it.

JOHNNY ENGLISH STRIKES AGAIN PG

“I have seen this and think it is a very good film for Te Awamutu and surrounding areas, so, by special arrangement with Mark Chamberlain, we are VERY pleased to be able to show it here.” Allan.

It’s a powerful and moving coming of age, present-day western. It’s hard to imagine anyone watching Lean on Pete and not rooting hard for Charley’s wish to come true.

quite significant due to the fact that they only took up the sport in April of this year. And on top of that they both had the flu during the competition, even getting sick sometimes between races, but it didn’t deter them one bit.

Five-year-old Van Hazelden did an excellent job in all of his races, shooting ahead of the pack at the start of every race and being the first one to reach the first corner. “He gets away pretty quick out of the blocks,” said Terry, who coaches the Cambridge Primary School mini motocross team.

The Pluck boys, along with their older brother Oscar have been racing for four years, and in that time have collected over 130 trophies, roughly 80 percent of which were first place finishes, the other 20 percent being podium finishes. Terry said they wished to thank all those who have supported them thus far, including the Cambridge and Te Awamutu motocross clubs, Craig and Keegan at the Cambridge Honda shop, major sponsor Steel Originals, and the parents, grandparents, family and supporters who have cheered them along the way. Jack added that he and Van wished to thank their dad, Leamington Meatpackers and Te Awamutu Honda Shop for all their support.
