FRIDAY JUNE 1, 2018

Cambridge newsroom update On Friday I went to hear the Ministry for Primary Industries talk about Mycoplasma bovis at the Don Rowlands Centre in Karapiro. The place was packed, and there were more utes in the carpark than you could shake a cattle prod at. But you could have heard a pin drop. While nowhere near as serious as a foot and mouth outbreak – a small to medium-sized outbreak of that would apparently wipe $16 billion off the country’s gross domestic product – this still is a big thing for farmers. What us urban-dwellers often don’t realise is that the majority of farmers genuinely care about their cows. They are not just production units, the farmers get to know their personalities and yes, they get attached. Not to say they go all soppy and let them in the house or anything, but they do care. That’s why the news that there will be a massive slaughter of cows to wipe out the disease will hit them hard. Hopefully it will all be worth it, and the disease will be wiped out. Somehow I doubt it.

In other news we have had lots of other cool things happening this week, including Josh Kronfeld taking an unexpected dip in Lake Karapiro in his undies. It was all for a good cause though, and you can read more about that on page 7.

We also have news of a new initiative run by Resthaven and the Cambridge Medical Centre designed to combat loneliness among the elderly (page 8), among a host of other things happening in our town this week.

So, we hope you enjoy your local paper this week – we’ve had a lot of fun bringing it to you (except for the Mycoplasma bovis meeting, which was pretty depressing).

Letters to the editor

Water meters Just when I thought Waipa DC had reached a nadir of mendacity and double standards I prove to be seriously misguided! Council has consistently refused to install individual water meters on all cross-lease properties citing the financial burden on ratepayers while ignoring the fact that owners of cross lease properties are ratepayers too! How strange that this “reasoning” does not extend to owners of a private property in Pirongia who were recently reported as felling a tree on their property and to which council are contributing half the cost of $17,520.00 and that excluding the unknown cost of an arborist’s report that council commissioned about the tree! I would write to council to complain about its double standards and to ask what legal authority it has to make such a contribution (whilst failing to comply equitably with one of its core infrastructure responsibilities) but I know from bitter experience that council for the most part treats ratepayers with barely concealed contempt and that my enquiries would be ignored. (Abridged) Kelvin Dunn Response from Bruce Airey, Manager - Community Facilities, Waipa District Council: All trees protected under Council’s District Plan are monitored and maintained by council. Council has a set budget for this work. Property owners with a protected tree on their land are unable to do any maintenance work on their protected tree, including pruning and removal. This is to ensure council protect and retain our districts most significant and heritage trees.

If a tree is removed from the protected tree

list (because it reaches the end of its life or becomes dangerous), we are obligated to help fund the removal cost.

Accountability Is anyone else concerned about where Cambridge is heading? First changes are made to the roading and underground stormwater drains. Next the lake starts to suffer. No one was held accountable.

Next sub developments are given the go ahead on the condition that they divert stormwater to the lake but after completion the developers say, “sorry it’s too expensive”. Again no one is held responsible. So now the council wants the taxpayers to pay. Finally, the council is allowing a vaping caravan to sit in the middle of town.

Is this the way we want to go? Abuse our natural resources, the character and the beauty of our town so that other people can make a profit? What’s next an exotic dance establishment in the town hall? Lots of money to be made there.

Oh, but don’t worry the council can always just raise the rates again, right, whilst not being accountable for where it is going.

Human remains discovered in Tamahere The remains of at least six people have been found in Tamahere during construction of the Hamilton section of the Waikato Expressway. They are believed to be between 200 and 400 years old, though initial analysis is still underway.

The discovery was made in late April by a digger driver who noticed something in the soil and immediately stopped work.

The NZ Transport Agency’s cultural protocols were enforced, and Waikato-Tainui and an archaeologist were called in to manage the process.

Four of the skeletons, or kōiwi, are believed to be children, and two are adults, ranging from around six to 40 years old. They were all buried in close proximity to each other.

Once analysis has been completed the bones will be returned to the hapū for burial.

Mycoplasma bovis meeting packed

By Claire Castle It was standing room only at Friday’s Mycoplasma bovis meeting at the Don Rowlands Centre, with around 700 people packing in to hear the latest on the outbreak that has now reached Cambridge.

Representatives from the Ministry of Primary Industries (MPI), Dairy NZ and the Rural Support

Quickfire News

The great P myth

A new report into methamphetamine smoking residue on household surfaces has found there is no evidence third-hand exposure causes adverse health effects, Minister of Housing and Urban Development Phil Twyford (pictured) said. The report, commissioned in December 2017, was produced by the Prime Minister’s Chief Science Advisor Professor Sir Peter Gluckman.

“There has been a widely held perception that the presence of even low levels of meth residue in a house poses a health risk to occupants. As a result, remediation to eliminate contamination has been an extremely costly business for landlords and an upheaval for tenants being evicted at short notice,” Minister Twyford said.

“No one is underplaying the social damage caused by meth, but there should be a scientific basis for what are acceptable levels of meth in the current New Zealand context; and remediation of houses should be proportional to the established health risks.”

Sir Peter’s report found that remediation according to the NZS 8510: 2017 standard is appropriate only for identified former meth labs and properties where heavy meth use has been determined.

Along with NZS 8510: 2017, it will contribute to any regulations that may be made under the Residential Tenancies Amendment Bill (No 2), soon to have its second reading in the House.

“I expect, pending Cabinet agreement, that there will be a public consultation document on meth regulations later this year,” Phil Twyford concluded.

Trust took it in turns to talk the audience through the details of the disease, including how to keep their farms safe from infection.

Roger Smith said the disease is believed to have arrived here in 2016, but it is unclear how. Suspected carriers of the disease include imported semen or frozen embryos, imported feed, imported used farm equipment or veterinary medicines and biological products, imported live cattle or other imported live animals.

It is not believed that live animal imports are the source, however, as the New Zealand outbreak has a different DNA sequence to Australia – our only source of live cow imports.

The audience was reassured that other species of animals, such as horses, were not at risk of contracting the disease, and nor does it pose a risk to human health. Milk and meat from infected cows are still safe for human consumption.

The visiting officials addressed the crowd for almost an hour before the floor was opened for question time.

First at the microphone was farmer Henk Smit, who confirmed that the local M. bovis outbreak was centred around his Roto-o-Rangi farm.

Notoriously difficult to diagnose, M. bovis arrived at Henk’s farm in around mid-2016, before anyone Continued page 10

Mycoplasma bovis – a ‘townie’s’ guide Even though M. bovis doesn’t affect meat and milk production or export, it is a significant animal welfare issue.

Affected cows can suffer from untreatable mastitis (udder infections), arthritis, abortions and pneumonia. The bacteria have no cell wall, so cannot be treated by antibiotics, nor is there a vaccine. And it’s notoriously difficult to diagnose, as it can be latent in cows until triggered by a stressor such as calving. Repeated negative tests are no guarantee that the cow is not carrying the disease. Blood tests can pick up antibodies to M. bovis but won’t tell you if the animal is actually infected. It can also be detected in nasal swabs, milk tests and tonsil swabs of culled cows.

It comes with a massive cost to the country – the eradication plan is estimated to cost New Zealand $886M over 10 years – and is spread through close contact between animals.

It is also spread by calves drinking unpasteurised milk from infected animals, which may happen when a farm is withholding milk due to antibiotics and may sell it to a neighbouring farm for their calves. There is no paper trail for this trade. Over the next two years, based on current figures, around 126,000 cows will be culled as part of the eradication plan, in addition to 22,000 culled or about to be culled at present. Once the cows are culled and the farm equipment decontaminated, there is a 60 day stand down before the farm can be repopulated.

Bye bye, microbeads

The Environmental Protection Authority will be responsible for new rules to protect people and New Zealand’s environment from plastic microbeads.

Some products containing plastic microbeads will be banned from sale from Thursday, June 7, said Dr Fiona Thomson-Carter General Manager of the EPA’s Hazardous Substances Group.

“The microbeads are found in some common household products like face and body scrubs or exfoliators, ‘wash-off’ products like glitter bubble bath, heavy-duty hand soaps and in some toothpastes.

“Plastic microbeads are not biodegradable, and at less than five millimetres in size, many end their life in the sea when they are washed down drains,” said Fiona.

“Under the new rules many, but not all, products containing microbeads are banned. We have some guidance for the public, manufacturers and interested parties on our website, which we encourage everyone to read,” Fiona said.

It was standing room only at the Don Rowlands Centre in Karapiro, as around 700 people came to hear officials talk about the M. bovis outbreak that has reached Cambridge.

The Harness Jewels is coming to Cambridge this weekend, and organisers hope it won’t be the last time it’s here.

Harness Jewels – love it or lose it

By Claire Castle

As Cambridge Raceway prepares to host its 6th Harness Jewels event this year, a shadow is hanging over the continuation of the event in town.

With the Jewels normally alternating between Ashburton and Cambridge, Harness Racing New Zealand (HRNZ) has moved next year’s event from the South Island town to the Addington Raceway in Christchurch, and

organisers here fear a similar move to take it to Alexandra Park in Auckland in 2020. Established in 2007, the competition was specifically intended to keep racing away from the country’s two major metropolitan tracks – but that’s all changed since the decision to move next year’s Jewels to Addington.

The Raceway’s chief executive, Dave Branch, said he hopes the town will turn out to support the event this year, strengthening the case for it to

Rotary fundraiser a runaway success

By Claire Castle Rotary’s biennial annual Race to Raise Funds did just that recently, bringing in almost $25,000 for the Cambridge Community House and Cambridge Cricket. The CCH took home almost $14,000 from the May 17 event, while the cricketers bagged around $11,000.

The night included a buffet meal, betting facilities and the opportunity to bid on both silent and live auctions in the Cambridge Raceway Lounge, overlooking the regular race meet.

Rotarian and event organiser Gordon Calder said it was a good result and that the amount raised was on a par with

the previous three events, held every second year, and that everyone one was “very happy”.

As well as a share of the ticket price, the CCH and cricketers took home proceeds from silent and live auctions throughout the night – with both groups bringing along donated items and vouchers to be sold to the highest bidder, with proceeds going to whichever organisation provided the goods.

Auctioneer Steve Davis brought the hammer down on 10 auctions, held between races, and Gordon said he did a “fantastic job”.

CCH manager Joanne Turner said that the funds would be gratefully

received as the house continues to struggle to provide services within the confines of their current building. “We are now preparing to apply for building consent for our new building and continuing with our fundraising drive,” she said.

Cambridge Cricket will also put their funds towards their building, with club president Simon Dodds saying the almost $11,000 would be used for much-needed renovations to the pavilion in Victoria Square.

“It’s getting a bit run down and small,” he said of the building, which is in line for a $350K renovation to better meet the club’s needs.

stay in Cambridge. “If the turnout is really strong it will be harder for them (HRNZ) to take it,” he said.

HRNZ’s racing and marketing manager, Darrin Williams, said there is always pressure from other clubs, including Auckland, and that a debrief after the Jewels will look closely at the success of the Cambridge event with a view to the 2020 bid. Part of this will include looking at crowd numbers.

Darrin added that everything he’s seen so far from the Cambridge event has been “fantastic”, and that while it will ultimately be up to the HRNZ board, his “gut feel” is that the Harness Jewels will be run in Cambridge again in two years’ time. There were other issues in Ashburton, he explained, that don’t exist in Cambridge, which has a dedicated team running the event.

“What the Cambridge team has done is outstanding,” he said.

At just 28, Dave Branch is believed

to be the youngest chief executive of a racing club in New Zealand, and possibly the world. With six horses coming over from Australia to race and the best horses in the country turning out at the Cambridge track tomorrow (June 2), there will be plenty of action Dave said it’s shaping up to be the best Harness Jewels at the club to date.

“For the first time ever, there’s no meeting at Ellerslie on the same day so we are hoping to attract an audience from both codes,” Dave added. “No matter your industry nine group one races on one day have to be respected, it really is the best of the best.”

With prize money of $1,275,000, it’s the richest race day in New Zealand and Darrin said they are expecting around $4M in betting turnover. “It’s a massive thing for Cambridge,” he said, with people coming from around the country and further afield to stay in the town.

Stars turn out for The Waterboy

By Claire Castle It was absolutely teeming down on Friday, but a break in the weather allowed for visiting celebrity and former All Black Josh Kronfeld to get out onto the water at Lake Karapiro in a double scull with rowing royalty Eric Murray.

With Josh in his underwear and having never rowed before there was a limit to what anyone could hope for, and the pair ended up taking an unscheduled dip in the chilly lake. The five-minute row and subsequent swim were in honour of the announcement of a star-studded November fundraising regatta for sports charity The Waterboy, which works to ensure all Kiwi kids can have access to sport.

Rower Robbie Manson is also on board for the event later this year, keen to ensure other young people get the chance to reap the rewards he’s experienced from participating in sport. Plus, The Waterboy’s Everybody’s Game speaker series on homophobia in sport is close to his heart.

As a gay athlete, Robbie said he used to see his sexuality as a barrier to engaging with sport. “I thought I couldn’t come our or be involved in sport if I did,” he explained. Fortunately, he has overcome this perceived barrier

to compete at the top echelons of rowing, named as the Oceania Male Athlete of the Year for 2017 by the Association of National Olympic Committees in Prague last November.

Fellow champion rower Olivia Loe, who competes in the women’s doubles, is also keen to be part of the regatta. “Sport was a massive part of my life growing up…it’s sad when kids don’t have that,” she said.

Eric Murray and Josh Kronfeld took to the water in a double scull…

Whether it’s breaking down financial barriers of participation by sponsoring the sporting costs or education in schools around the harmful effects of homophobia in sport, making sure every New Zealand child has the opportunity to play sport is at the heart of The Waterboy’s work.

The fundraising regatta will start with a cocktail function on November 15, with racing happening on November 16 at Lake Karapiro.

Hosted by Eric Murray, the eights event will see crews of six novice rowers team up with a celebrity and a rower to tackle a 500m course. Josh Kronfeld has put his hand up along with former Silver Ferns captain Casey Kopua, with more big names set to throw themselves behind the cause over the coming months.

Visit www.thewaterboy.org.nz to find out how to get involved. …but didn’t last long.

Community Friends pilot project Cambridge Resthaven and Cambridge Medical Centre have joined forces in a pilot project called “Community Friends”, a home visiting service for elderly people starting early June. The idea was sparked by the need that both organisations were seeing in their respective areas for a different kind of support than is currently on offer.

Cambridge Resthaven retirement village and rest home drew their inspiration for the project from their Meals on Wheels service. David Hall, Cambridge Resthaven CEO said, “We know that clients enjoy the social side of the Meals on Wheels deliveries. For people living on their own, who don’t have someone to talk to regularly, life can be lonely, and the Meals on Wheels driver may be the only person the client sees that day. That started us thinking it would

be great to have a visiting service, where the sole purpose is to have a friendly chat and enjoy a cup of tea together in a relaxed environment.”

For Cambridge Medical Centre, the idea came from looking into how they could best help patients with long term medical conditions who suffer from isolation and loneliness. Wendy Harris, business manager at Cambridge Medical Centre said, “Some elderly patients visit the doctor not for medical problems, but because they are lonely. We want to help our patients get the support they need, but we have found there is a gap in the services available.

Although there are great clinical services for the elderly living in their own homes covering practical needs like personal care, showering and help with the housework, what isn’t considered is the importance of the social side of life – having someone who can

take the time to have a simple chat.” Loneliness and social isolation are recognised as risk factors nationally and internationally. According to a 20162017 interRAI (International Residential Assessment Instrument) New Zealand report, 22 per cent of people receiving home care in the community feel lonely.

For the pilot project, Cambridge Medical Centre will refer interested patients, and Cambridge Resthaven will provide one or two Community Friends who will visit once or twice a week.

Mr Hall said, “The pilot will be with a small number of people, so we can get a feel for how it works.

Combining ideas and resources with Cambridge Medical Centre is really valuable and we hope it might make all the difference to people.”

MORTGAGE MATTERS

Refinancing Your Mortgage

By Gavin Lynch – Yes Mortgages Refinancing your mortgage is the process of changing your mortgage lending from your existing lender to a new lender. Refinancing is a common practice for any of these reasons: • You don’t like the lender you are with.

You’ve experienced poor service, problems with staff, or high account fees.

• You want to borrow more money but the lender won’t allow it.

Perhaps you want to consolidate debt, borrow to purchase a rental property or a vehicle, or put working capital into a business.

• You have ‘outgrown’ your existing lender and want to move forward.

This is common for self-employed people with a growing business, or for investors with an increasing portfolio.

• Your lender has asked you to refinance.

You may be in arrears with mortgage repayments or you need to restructure your mortgage.

Refinancing can involve costs such as break fees from the existing lender, solicitors’ fees, valuation charges etc, but we can help get cash contributions from your new lender to help offset these costs.

At Yes Mortgages, we can outline the costs involved and find the best new lender to fit your current situation from the 25 or so different lenders available. In most instances, our service is FREE to you.

Generally the benefits of refinancing outweigh the costs involved but bear in mind: Refinancing your mortgage must benefit and add value to YOU. Let us do the work to find you the best lender for your situation.

Mind where you park Sports fans are being urged to keep cycleways, walkways and driveways clear or risk getting a ticket.

Vehicles have already been spotted parking across the cycleway/ walkway from the intersection of Taylor and Victoria Sts in Cambridge, heading north past the Hautapu Sports Club.

Despite clear signage, some vehicles completely blocked the path, making it nearly impossible to use.

Waipa District Council has also received complaints from residents in Scott St in Leamington about vehicles associated with netball games blocking private driveways.

Senior enforcement officer Ken Danby said the last thing staff wanted to be doing on a Saturday morning was issuing

tickets. Last year council was forced to ticket cars in Te Awamutu because of poor parking near the netball courts. Repeated warnings didn’t work but tickets did, he said.

“When you go out to watch your kids or grandkids play sport, you don’t want to come

back to a $60 ticket. And local residents don’t want access to their property blocked.”

Parking across footpaths and cycleways caused real safety issues, particularly for young children, caregivers with prams, people with disabilities and those

using mobility scooters, he said.

“We’re just asking for a bit of consideration, that’s all. If everyone takes a bit of time to get it right, we can avoid any issues arising and we can all enjoy our Saturday mornings.”

Motorists are warned to keep driveways and cycleways clear, or face a $60 parking ticket.

Mycoplasma bovis meeting packed Continued from page 3 realised the disease was in the country.

It wasn’t until late last year that South Island farmer Alfons Zeestraten phoned Henk to advise that cows at his Southland farm, where Henk had purchased cows from, had tested positive for M. bovis.

Henk had bought 240 heifers from Zeestraten, trucked them

up from the South Island in June 2016 and put them onto three different farms – two owned by Henk and one by a third party.

Of the three – Maungatautari, Roto-O-Rangi and a third property – only the Roto-ORangi farm is infected, after milk samples began returning a positive result four weeks ago.

The other two farms are now

Rotary

restricted properties.

“Where this is going, I don’t know,” Henk said on Friday, “I think they will continue with eradication, in my opinion they won’t get it under control…it’s too far spread.”

On Monday, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern advised that eradication had been chosen over containment of the disease, because New Zealand

has “one shot” to get rid of Mycoplasma bovis for good.

Following Monday’s announcement that all cows on affected properties would be culled, Henk has reportedly said he will abandon farming altogether after 33 years in the industry. MPI is in the process of setting up a field headquarters in Cambridge in response to the outbreak.

SeniorNet meets Nyriad Supplied by Seniornet (abridged) The recent May Social Meeting of Cambridge SeniorNet was addressed

by Cindy Mullins, a public relations representative of Nyriad, a start-up IT company based in Cambridge. Nyriad is an exascale software company specialising in advance data storage and processing solutions for big data and high-performance computing. Nyriad is a commercial spin-off from the Square Kilometre Array, a multibillion dollar radio telescope and the world’s largest computer project, which has the ultimate goal of mapping the Universe.

The sheer scale of the data and the computer power needed to achieve this led Nyriad to a breakthrough in computing density – software that has been christened Nsulate, which is likely to become the system of choice for large data storage around the world.

Nyriad decided to base itself in Cambridge, partly because it was close to Waikato University, which will be a source of IT engineers, and partly for lifestyle reasons.

The company, which is expanding rapidly, is currently employing 85 engineers with plans to hire up to 10 per month.

SeniorNet members were blown away by the concept, scale and imagination of the whole project which threatens to turn Cambridge into the “Silicon Valley” of NZ.

Double survivor hosts pink breakfast

By Viv Posselt

Ruth Pidwell spent the last Sunday morning of May awash in a sea of pink.

The two-time survivor of breast cancer hosted her first Pink Ribbon Breakfast, joined by family and a group of 16 women who had either faced the disease themselves, or known others who had. As well as enjoying a feast prepared primarily by the menfolk in the family, guests acknowledged those touched by breast cancer by writing their names on pink card cut-outs and hanging them on two bare cherry trees fringing Ruth’s patio.

“We were coming together as much to respect their struggle as to create awareness around the disease itself,” she said. “Would you believe, for example, that nine women a day in New Zealand are diagnosed with breast cancer, or that there is a 95 percent chance of survival if you can just catch it early enough?

“These are such important messages that women need to hear.”

Ruth’s silver service breakfast included a silent auction. “I walked around Cambridge and was overwhelmed at the generosity of local businesses.”

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Breast Cancer Foundation New Zealand’s annual Pink Ribbon

Breakfast as a combined awareness and fundraising initiative. Last year, more than 3,600 Kiwis hosted a breakfast, collectively raising more than $1.8 million for breast cancer research and support.

Ruth’s efforts netted over $1500 for the Breast Cancer Foundation. “That’s three times what I had expected … we’re delighted with the result.”

Becoming a breakfast host this year came about almost by chance.

“We saw it advertised on television, and my husband suggested it was something I could do,” she explained.

“He was absolutely right. I’ve never been involved before, but this really was something I could do to help.”

Ruth’s own journey began in 2003, when a lump in her left breast was picked up via a mammogram when the couple was living in Melbourne.

“Initially, I was quite sanguine about it, probably because I had identified lumps and bumps before that had turned out to be benign. Strangely, I hadn’t even felt this one … I was shocked when I was told it was a tumour.”

She had a lumpectomy followed by six weeks of radiotherapy and further medication. As she approached the fifth anniversary of that first incidence, just as she thought she was in the clear, Ruth found a tiny lump in her right

Having survived breast cancer twice and squared up to the hair-trigger distress of staring cancer in the face, Ruth is more determined than ever to spread the word on the importance of regular check-ups.

“The mammogram didn’t find that second lump, nor could the doctors.

But I knew what I had felt, and they believed me enough to keep looking.

Nobody knows your breasts like you do; checking them needs to become automatic. I do it on the first of every month.”

Ruth has also gone teetotal, giving up alcohol except for “high days and holidays”. That’s because research has shown that the consumption of alcohol can be a factor in breast cancer, she said.

“I decided that was something I could control, so I did.”

Rockquest bands shine

By Sophie Iremonger

Twenty-nine bands bravely took to the stage at the Clarence St Theatre on Sunday as part of the Smokefree Rockquest regional heats, battling their nerves to perform their own original songs to an audience of around 700 people.

Twelve of the bands made it through to the regional final on June 16, including Cambridge High School’s Betend Rocket.

“We could have done better,” the band’s humble guitarist Ben Cooper said. “But we did it,” bandmate Josh Bam added. “We just had little minor mistakes that could have made it better… it wasn’t bad.”

“There’s always room for improvement,” drummer Connor Quickfall said.

Connor, Ben and their other bandmate Keenan Tuwhangai competed at Rockquest last year as “Tyler’s Release”, but this year was the first time they’ve made it through to the regional final, with vocalist Josh Bam added to the mix. They decided to make a “bold move” encouraging the audience to sing along to their original song “Teeth” and were amazed that the crowd obliged. “We didn’t really expect them to sing along, and they did. When we heard it and we were like, “Wow,” said Connor.

“They seemed to like it,” said Ben, who originally wrote the song.

“Getting through was cool, but now we know what we need to work on.”

The band is now hard at work practicing for the regional final on June 16 at Zeal Hamilton, where they will have to perform a seven-minute set, playing “Teeth” and another original, “Nathan the Kook”.

“I’m looking forward to seeing how they go, I think they’ve got a good chance at the regional final,” CHS music teacher Daniel Peters said.

“They’re a very good band, they put in a lot of time and effort.”

Three other Cambridge bands performed at Rockquest on Sunday, Ignite, Stinking Bishop and Artificial Intelligence.

Gracie Jolley and Lisa Heebink, both Cambridge High School students, performed with two Hamilton students as part of Ignite. “We definitely did better than we had hoped,” said Lisa.

“We could have done some things better, but we were so happy with the result… All that stress and hard work behind the scenes had paid off, it was so worth it in the end.”

“I’ve never done something like that before, so it was pretty exciting,” Gracie said. “It was a massive adrenalin rush.”

St Peter’s bands Artificial Intelligence and Stinking Bishop both said the best part about doing the competition was

“It was a good feeling to play together, and write a song, the achievement of it all,” Stinking Bishop’s bassist Daniel Parker said.

“It was a bit worrying,” he said of getting up on stage, “but when you get halfway through the song it’s fine.”

Daniel was joined by Toby Robinson (drums), Shanan Sagu (vocals, guitar) and Nicole Chen (keyboard). St Peter’s School student George Roberts also performed on Sunday in the Hamilton Boys High School band Casper, which also made it through to the next round on June 16.

Jeremy Stubbs – 1941-2018 Only in the early 1990s did Jeremy’s involvement with St John start. Over the following 27 years, he served on both the Taumarunui and Cambridge Area Committees, the Midland Region Trust Board, the Central Region Trust Board, the Priory Trust Board and the St John Priory Chapter. He was Chairman of the Cambridge Area Committee at the time of his death.

Among the St John dignitaries at St Andrew’s was Dame Souella Cumming, Deputy Chancellor of St John’s Priory Trust Board.

She was representing Trust Board Chancellor Steve Evans, who was in the United States attending the Grand Council for St John International and whose message of condolence was delivered as part of a eulogy by Ken Williamson, Chairperson of the St John Central Region Trust Board.

Quoting Steve Evans, he said: “He loved St John; and was completely dedicated to its values and ethos of caring. He consistently demonstrated his passion and knowledge of St John … and became a dear friend.”

Ken Williamson said Jeremy’s service to St John was recognised in 2004 when he was admitted to the Order. He was promoted to Commander in 2010, and last year was made a Knight of Grace.

“It was a deserved acknowledgement of his outstanding service to our Order and to our nation. What makes St John so special is its people, and what makes our people so special is that they truly care about helping others,” he said.

“Caring about others is a value that Jeremy had in abundance.”

BMXers ready for high-performance hub

By Sophie Iremonger Cycling New Zealand has officially launched the new High-Performance BMX Hub based in Cambridge, where four promising local riders will train alongside the country’s best under the hub’s newly-appointed coach Matt Cameron.

“It’s exciting, it’s a new space for the sport,” Cameron said. “It’s never been done for BMX so far in cycling so it’s going to be cool to see how it all structures and sets out and paves the sport from that point out.”

Training will get underway during the first week of school holidays, after most of the riders return from the BMX

World Champs in Azerbaijan.

Cambridge locals Rico D’Anvers, Bennett Greenough, Charlie LesterRosson and Tasman Wakelin were all named on the 15-strong BMX squad that will train out of the new hub, utilizing the Cambridge and Te Awamutu BMX tracks as well as the high-performance facilities available at the Avantidrome.

“Being in a development space, the ultimate goal is to feed up the top as much as possible,” Cameron said.

“Getting these guys self-reliant and enabling them to have the tools to be able to progress by themselves… having the tools to assess their own performances and fix them or knowing

what the right thing is to do to move forward.

“It’s cool to see people develop and grow together rather than just individually.”

The riders themselves said they were most looking forward to developing as a group, supporting each other and having fun.

“I’m pretty excited about it,” said Bennett, “It’s a really cool opportunity, to ride with everyone in a big group and develop as a team.”

“I’m also really excited, just for the opportunity, and for the challenges

ahead,” added Charlie, “and to be facing them as a group, and to grow together as a team as well.”

“It’s really cool to see them get excited about it,” world-renowned Cambridge BMXer Sarah Walker said at the launch on Friday. “It’s really exciting for the sport to have a development pathway… the potential that is in this room is really awesome for the sport, I think we’ll definitely see people from here performing on the world stage at the elite level, so it will be cool to watch their progress,” she said.

Sprint coach stands down Cycling New Zealand announced on Wednesday that head sprint coach Anthony Peden has decided to step away from the role.

Peden, who has been head sprint coach since September 2013, guided the men’s team sprint trio to unparalleled success with nine world medals including three titles, an Olympic silver medal at Rio and 14 Commonwealth Games medals including back-to-back golds in team and individual sprint.

However, Peden said his allencompassing approach is not aligned to that of Cycling New Zealand. He felt that after the recent Commonwealth Games success and with the Tokyo Olympic qualifying period approaching it was the appropriate time to step away.

“I love all the athletes in the sprint programme they have given me everything that I have asked of them,” said Peden.

“I have put plans and processes in place through to Tokyo and I truly believe that these athletes will be successful in 2020.

“This is one of the hardest decisions I have made and while I am proud of what we have achieved here, it is the best thing for me to step away. I intend to remain in the sport and believe there are some exciting prospects ahead.”

Cycling New Zealand CEO Andrew Matheson said his organisation has lost a coach of high quality with his sprint group the talisman for the programme.

Outgoing sprint coach Anthony Peden “The results speak for themselves with Anthony having been a Halberg Award coach of the year and his sprinters have achieved global success.

“We understand and respect Anthony’s decision as he does with our position.

“He will leave with things in an organised state. We’ve already spoken to all of the sprinters in the programme and put in place a short-term fix while we look to advertise this role. Anthony has built a world-class programme and there is some depth looking forward, so I expect there to be considerable interest in the role.”

Concussion

With winter sports season upon us - it’s time to ‘Get A Head’ when it comes to concussion.

Concussion is classed as a mild traumatic brain injury and is the most common form of injury to the brain. Soccer, rugby, snow skiing, equestrian, basketball, hockey, netball, cycling; they are all susceptible to those bangs and bumps. And concussion isn’t always caused by a blow to the head - one to the body or even a whiplash motion can result in concussion, so a slip, a fall or tackle can do the same thing. If someone takes a spill, it’s vital to recognise the symptoms of brain trauma. These include headaches, cloudiness of thoughts, weakness, slurred speech, dizziness, numbness, nausea, “off” balance and coordination, impaired memory function, confusion, irritability, anxiety, sleepiness or sleeping for long periods, drowsiness or vomiting - they don’t always show up straight

away; sometimes, it can be a couple of hours, days or weeks later. And concussions often occur without a loss of consciousness. First thing to do? Halt all activity. Go straight to a medical professional for urgent assessment to prevent catastrophic injury and potential long-term effects. Clinical judgment is crucial to diagnose; nothing shows up on structural imaging tests like MRIs or CTs. And treatment is most effective when started early. A medical professional can guide you on physical and mental rest, graduated return to work/school and sport, plus other strategies to improve recovery to help avoid lasting issues.

Recovery is key - physical and mental rest are of utmost importance to come right and banish any lasting damage. It’s important to have concussion and how it occurs in mind – ‘Get A Head’ to protect your own and others’.

McMurray a cycling ‘master’

By Sophie Iremonger A Cambridge cyclist took out a massive title at this year’s Cycling New Zealand Sports Awards, winning the Male Masters Road Cyclist of the Year Award – the single biggest category of the night covering eight age groups.

Jim McMurray was awarded the title on May 19 after fantastic achievements throughout 2017, which included top finishes at the World Masters Games, the UCI World Champs and the 120km Amy’s Gran Fondo in Australia.

The humble Horahora resident said it was “pretty cool” and “exciting” to have won the award after competing on the world stage for the past six years. “It was just exciting to even get the nomination, and then to get called up,” Jim said, “I was just overwhelmed, it was pretty cool to be honoured and be recognised in cycling.

“To make a new category to honour (masters) athletes is pretty cool.”

Jim is the first person to receive the award, an undoubtedly deserves it after phenomenal finishes on the world stage. “I had a good year,” he said. The string of successes last year started with the World Masters Games in Auckland in April, where Jim scored gold twice, in the time trial and road race, including beating several former Tour de France riders. “That’s the ultimate test, to go to the world stage and see how you compare,” said the 55-60 age group rider, who managed to finish a full nine minutes ahead of ex Commonwealth Games cyclist Graeme Millar.

At the UCI World Champs in Albi, France in August, Jim finished second in the time trial and fourth in the road race and plans to compete for the

top spots again this year when the competition moves to Italy. He also competed in the UCI World Champs in 2016, finishing first and second respectively.

The other top competition that helped earn Jim’s award was his fantastic result at the Amy’s Gran Fondo cycle race in Australia, where he was up against 350 international competitors in his age group alone.

Jim cycled so fast he left his own age group in the dust, catching up to the next division below them, and beating that group by over five minutes. “Race hard, play hard,” he said with a smile.

Jim’s wins across 2017 are just a snapshot of the wide range of achievements he’s made to date, winning several regional, national and international cycle races, and even setting the UCI one hour world record at the Avantidrome in 2016, for the masters 55 - 59 age group.

“I’m quite humbled with it,” Jim said of the award. “I like the idea that someone might be inspired and keep racing and riding because of it.”

Readers south of town may already recognise Jim, who delivers the Cambridge News along with mail and other publications to residents in RD1 Tirau, including Piarere and Karapiro.

He laughed and said it was rather ironic that he’s now appearing in the Cambridge News as well as delivering it. The modest man said his moment in the spotlight wasn’t about promoting himself, but “promoting cycling and a healthy lifestyle”.

Jim also competed at the New Zealand Age Group National Championships in recent weeks, winning both the 78km road race and 25km time trial.

Bridge success for Di and Jane Submitted by the Cambridge Bridge Club Cambridge Bridge Club players Di Emms and Jane Stearn will play on the Waikato Bays women’s team at the National InterProvincial Tournament, following recent trials in Tauranga. For the first

three rounds they led the way, fighting hard to finish third overall and winning a place on the Women's team to represent the region in the Interprovincial Teams in Auckland in November. There are four divisions – open, women, seniors and

intermediates. Each of the seven regions in New Zealand sends a team of four to compete in each section, with the Douglas McLean Interprovincial Trophy at stake.

All our hopes and good wishes go with all the sixteen members of the Waikato team.

Big win for St Peter’s golfers

By Sophie Iremonger

St Peter’s School’s top young golfers have secured a spot at the National Secondary Schools Team Championship after winning the regional round at Hamilton Golf Club on May 14 – the eighth time the school has won the reginal competition since 2006.

The top two students on the team, Focus Longjit, Year 12, and Oak Archvarin, Year 13, were joined by two talented up-and-coming Year 9 and 10 golfers this year, Ing Iadpluem

and Rhys Thomas, boosting their chances at beating the often-successful Hamilton Boys High School team.

“The was a little bit of stress before starts,” Focus laughed.

“Because this year we had our chance to beat Hamilton Boys’.

We had a stronger team this year, so we knew we had a chance.”

Team captain Focus led the way winning the individual title by 6 shots, and producing her usual high-quality golf recording a 3 under par 69.

Amazingly, she even pulled off

a hole-in-one on the difficult par 3 third hole, and later produced a 30-metre chip in for eagle on the par 4 16th hole.

The Hamilton Boys team started off well, hot on the heels of the St Peter’s quartet by only one or two strokes behind throughout the first nine holes.

“We were just in front,” Oak explained. “And then the back nine is much harder than the front, so anything could have happened.”

The second half included a few shorter holes – a specialty for the hard-hitting, Happy Gilmore-styled Hamilton Boys’ team, who can drive the ball quite far on their first shot.

“There were a couple of holes that Ham Boys can hit it quite close, so they sort of had a better chance than us,” said Focus.

But she and Ing are also skilled in driving the ball quite far during tee-off, and they utilized the closer women’s start to get as near to the green as possible. “I was just trying to play as best as I can,” said Focus.

“It was just patience really,” added Oak. “Some of us had a feeling that they would blow out in the end, because we’ve played with a few of their players and they have done

Eventually the team’s coolheaded and perfected golf play proved too much for the Hamilton boys, with St Peter’s winning an impressive 15 shots ahead. Following in third place was the St Peter’s #2 team of Jared McEvoy, Scott Donald and George Hodgson.

“I feel like we’ve come a long way as a team,” Oak said. “Our performance in the regional qualifier has definitely lifted our hopes up of winning

(at Nationals), because we know now we can perform together.”

It will be the second time Focus has competed at the national competition, having won it in 2015 at 13 years old with the St Peter’s team.

“I was so scared that time,” Focus laughed. “Now I know how they (Ing and Rhys) feel.”

The shy junior pair said they were very happy with their performance at regionals.

The team will compete at the National competition in Palmerston North in September.

Reds face challenge this weekend

By Josh Easby

Cambridge face their biggest challenge so far in football’s Northern League when competition leaders Takapuna AFC visit this Saturday.

The Aucklanders are the only unbeaten team in the second division and are hot favourites to win the competition.

Supporters will see a double header at John Kerkhof Park with the two clubs’ reserves sides squaring off at 12.30pm, followed by the main game between the first teams at 3pm.

Cambridge have been able to turn around a four-match losing streak, having drawn their last two matches.

Last weekend, the Reds came from two goals behind to earn a storming 3-3 draw against West Auckland’s Te Atatu AFC. The team showed real character in clawing back the draw, having played the last third of the match with 10 players and then ending the game with only nine on the pitch.

The Reds took an early lead when striker Dylan Blair ghosted into the penalty area and was able to finish a pass across the face of the goal in the 9th minute.

The lead didn’t last long as Te Atatu scored twice in a three-minute spell.

First, Rannesh Krishnan found the net in the 14th minute and then Ryan Sabich

cashed in on a defensive error to put the visitors ahead.

Krishnan increased Te Atatu’s lead with a well-taken goal in the 26th minute, coolly rounding ‘keeper Patrick Steele after clearing the Reds’ backline.

However, Cambridge reduced the deficit to 3-2 in the 38th minute when striker Wayne Teague scored his first goal for the club.

He won the ball just inside the visitors’ half, weaved his way towards the Te Atatu goal and then smashed it past ‘keeper Edward Trubshoe.

The second half fired up in the 55th minute when Teague collected a second yellow card, reducing the Reds to 10

men.

Being a man short seemed to spur on Cambridge and for the rest of the game, they had the better of ball possession and created the most chances.

The pressure finally paid off in the 76th minute when Blair scored his second for Cambridge, bringing the teams level at 3-3.

Cambridge mounted attack after attack in the final minutes but the game went flat almost on full-time when a melee led to referee Willis showing yellow cards to a number of players from both sides, including a second for Reds’ skipper Patrick Woodlock.

My choice of meat this week is venison.

New Zealand farm-raised venison gets the ‘thumbs up’ from health professionals.

It has very little fat marbled through the tissue — less than similar cuts of beef — and it is rich in iron and vitamins and low in cholesterol. Farm-raised venison is

especially reared and selected to produce tender, succulent meat. And there are over 100 deer farms in the Waikato region.

Venison not only tastes great it is ideal for busy cooks. It can be prepared in much the same way as beef but generally requires less cooking.

For best results, do not overcook venison.

Because it is lean, overcooking will cause the meat to become dry and tough. When stir-frying, barbecuing, grilling or panfrying, use high temperatures to seal in the juices. If roasting, cook to an internal temperature of 57°C and then allow it to

rest. This guarantees perfectly cooked medium-rare venison and will make it easier to slice.

For moist cooking methods such as potroasting or casseroling venison should be cooked at a low temperature for a long time to ensure the meat is tender.

ROASTED VENISON WITH GARLIC 1 bulb garlic 3 shallots, sliced 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil freshly ground black pepper to taste 400g-500g farm-raised boneless venison roast 2 sprigs thyme 1 each: green, red capsicums, seeded and thickly sliced Jus: 1 cup good beef stock 1/4 cup red wine 1 clove garlic, crushed 1 teaspoon thyme leaves Preheat the oven to 200°C.

VENISON TACOS 500g farm-raised venison mince 2 teaspoons olive oil 1 medium onion, diced 2 cloves garlic, crushed 1/2 teaspoon each: ground paprika, cumin, chilli powder 2 tablespoons each: tomato paste, water 1/4 cup chopped coriander leaves and stalks salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste assorted salad vegetables eg shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced cucumber and avocado 8-10 taco shells

STIR-FRIED VENISON WITH ASIAN FLAVOURS 1 tablespoon rice bran oil 2 shallots, diced 1 tablespoon finely grated root ginger 4 small portobello mushrooms, thinly sliced 2 medium green capsicums, julienned 1 clove garlic, crushed 400g stir-fry farm-raised venison 1 tablespoon each: tamarind paste, hoisin sauce, soy sauce 2 medium tomatoes, quartered

Separate the garlic cloves from the bulb and peel. Combine in a small roasting pan with the shallots, 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and freshly ground black pepper. Place in the oven for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, brush the venison with olive oil. Sprinkle with black pepper and thyme leaves. Place the venison on the garlic and shallots and roast for 15 minutes. Add the peppers. Continue roasting for 10 minutes. Remove, cover with foil and rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Meanwhile, boil the ingredients for the jus rapidly, until reduced by half. Strain and serve with the venison. Serves 3-4.

To prepare the venison, sauté the mince in the oil in a non-stick frying pan for about 2 minutes. Add the onion, garlic, spices, tomato paste, water, coriander and seasonings. Cover and simmer for about 10 minutes.

Prepare the salad vegetables and place in separate bowls.

Heat the taco shells according to the packet instructions then ‘fill your own’.

Serves 4.

Heat half the oil in a heavy, non-stick frying pan over high heat. Add the shallots, ginger and mushrooms. Stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add the peppers and garlic and continue stir-frying for 1-2 minutes.

Place aside.

Heat the remaining oil in the frying pan.

Stir-fry the venison for 1 minute, until just cooked. Add the combined tamarind paste, hoisin and soy sauces. Return the stir-fried vegetables to the pan together with the tomatoes and heat through.

Great served on steamed rice. Serves 4.

FRIDAY JUNE 1, 2018

ARE YOU READY FOR WINTER?

What is double glazing, and how does it help?

To put it simply, double glazing is a window that has two separate pieces of glass instead of one, utilizing a vacuum between the two pieces to create insulation.

Usually windows are the weakest link in a home – you can have great insulation in the ceiling, walls and floor, yet up to 45% of the internal heat can be lost through single glazed windows.

But heat loss can be reduced by up to 33% with classic double-glazing, and by less than 28% with low emissivity (Low E) glass – which uses a special coating of tiny particles on the glass surface to reflect heat energy, reducing the amount of heat that escapes through windows.

Making the switch to double glazing is well worth the effort – not only saving heat loss, but reducing noise and UV damage, eliminating drafts,

improving safety and adding value. And the temperature control goes both ways – also holding in cool air during summer.

There are several options for improving temperature maintenance in the home through window upgrades: adding Low E insulating window film, installing secondary glazing, installing double glazing into existing frames, or doing a full replacement of the frames and glass.

A professional glass installer can go through the prices and options best suited for you and your home.

If you decide to invest in secondary glazing, it’s best to compare it against the cost of installing new double glazing.

You should also make sure: your ceiling and underfloor insulation is up to standard, you have an effective

and affordable heating system, and your windows (including frames) are still in good condition and can be expected to last at least as long as the secondary glazing.

If you’re the do-it-yourself type, there’s also the option of DIY window insulation kits – using heat-shrinkable thin plastic film and attaching it to the window sash or frame using double sided, adhesive tape – a great alternative option in rented houses. Another option is magnetically attaching an acrylic sheet to the inside of the existing window sash or frame.

But remember – not all options are suitable for every window, so it’s best to get professional advice before going ahead. If you decide to get your windows double glazed by a professional, it’s a good idea to make sure

Elder Abuse Awareness

FRIDAY JUNE 1, 2018

CHAMPIONED BY RESTHAVEN, AGE CONCERN HAMILTON AND EANPS

Raising Community Awareness of Elder Abuse Of the 2121 referrals received by Age Concern branches across New Zealand between July 2015 and June 2016, 1698 of the cases were identified as elder abuse. “It is estimated that only one in 14 cases of alleged elder abuse are reported, so the number is far greater than that,” says Jane Kay of the Age Concern Hamilton Elder Abuse Response Team, who urges friends and family members to report cases to the team. As a thorough investigation looking at all evidence from all parties is undertaken before the alleged abuse is confirmed, there is no need to hesitate. “Our services are confidential.”

While it is advisable for the referrer to get the consent of the older person first, this is not always possible. The Elder Abuse Response Team will approach the situation sensitively and get the informed consent of the older person before acting on any case. The team works in conjunction with health professionals, NZ Police (in particular, the Integrated Safety Response team), lawyers, service providers, the Department of Justice,

banks, residential care facilities and rest homes in order to get the best outcome for the client.

“It appears that many in our communities no longer have the respect and reverence for our elders,” says Jane. “Many abusers have a sense of entitlement, and have no qualms about taking at their elders expense. It is heart-breaking to see the number of vulnerable elders in our society who are being abused, sometimes by their own

Forms of Abuse: Psychological abuse – 79% Financial 51 % Neglect 21% Self neglect 19% Physical 22% Institutional 3.6% Sexual 0.8% The percentages do not add up to 100 as there is usually more than one type of abuse occurring simultaneously.

families - the people they have nurtured and who they have trusted implicitly.”

As so much happens behind closed doors, people around have no idea that abuse is occurring.

In some of the cases that come to the team's attention, the older person does not want to be supported to a safer position because of fear of the consequences. They are afraid of losing contact with family members altogether, of

possible repercussions from the abuser, or of bringing shame to the family.

Raising community awareness is vital in helping reduce the number of cases.

Resthaven Trust - championing the rights of seniors A desire to collaborate with like-minded organisations to raise awareness around issues of elder abuse has prompted Resthaven Trust to host a special luncheon next Friday at Views on Vogel, 4 Vogel Street, Cambridge. Resthaven CEO David Hall says the initiative, spearheaded by Cambridge Resthaven's community and events co-ordinator Gaylene Callaghan, is envisaged to be the first of many, moving forward. “Part of the Trust's aims is to support the senior community, both within our village environment and in a wider context. We have identified a need and are responding to it.”

While there have been smaller awareness-raising luncheons

within Resthaven Village Centre throughout the year, Friday's event will be the biggest yet. The village has extended its reach, partnered with Age Concern Hamilton, and invited key individuals and organisations to participate. The goal is to get the word out into the community that elder abuse in its many forms is not okay.

A buffet roast meal is on the menu, followed by addresses from keynote speakers Jane Kay and Ruth Mazengarb of the Elder Abuse Response Team.

The United Nations classifies abuse of older people as a human rights issue, stating that older people have the right to a life of

dignity in old age, free of all forms of abuse, including financial and material exploitation, which could lead to poverty, hunger, homelessness, compromised health and well-being, and even premature mortality. The UN has designated June 15 as World Elder Abuse Awareness Day. Given the hectic schedule of Fieldays at this time, Resthaven brought the luncheon forward to Friday June 8. “We're delighted Age Concern has come on board,” says Hall.

“Part of our community role is strengthening relationships with organisations such as theirs.”

Pinkalicous breakfast a winner Eighty-eight women went along to a Pink Ribbon Breakfast at the Don Rowlands Centre in Karapiro on Sunday, having a great time and raising $2,200 for the Breast Cancer Foundation in the process.

One of the organisers, Debra Jenkins, has been hosting the annual breakfast for years, starting out with two tables at a café in Cambridge. Things have moved on since then, and Sunday’s event saw auctions, prizes for the best dressed and local rowers acting as waiters for the women in attendance.

There was even a knitting competition, with a ball of pink wool and knitting needles on each table – the longest scarf at the end of the breakfast was the winner.

Saturday, May 26 A burglary occurred on Mclarnon Rd overnight where the offenders have gained entry using a tool to pry open a kitchen window. The house has been extensively searched and two vehicles were stolen from the garage. One of the vehicles was later discovered on Manhare Rd, Wharepapa South completely burnt out. Outside the burgled house police discovered another vehicle that was stolen from Te Awamutu on the 25th around 8:30pm. Offenders had attempted to set this vehicle alight also.

Monday, May 28 A 42-year-old female from Hamilton was caught shoplifting at New World around 2pm.

LIDO CINEMA

MovieReview

Centre Place

KODACHROME stars Jason Sudeikis as Matt, a recently divorced, struggling music executive on a downward spiral when his father’s nurse Zooey (Elizabeth Olsen) show ups unexpectedly.

His estranged father Ben (Ed Harris) – a celebrated photographer – has been diagnosed with terminal cancer.

After finding four rolls of Kodachrome film, Ben’s dying wish is for Matt to drive him cross-country to process the film at Dwayne’s – the last place in the world that still develops Kodachrome – before Kodak shuts down their lab for good.

Hauling half a lifetime of baggage and resentment, Matt, Ben and Zooey set out for the long, redemptive road trip from New York to Kansas.

Time is running out for Ben to rebuild his relationship with Matt and to develop the film before those captured moments are gone forever.

Hollywood Reporter, "Sudeikis truly excels in the role, repeatedly hitting emotional highs and lows with complete conviction and practiced awareness of the inevitability of human shortcomings and the redemptive power of acceptance."

Concept gallery for local artist

By Viv Posselt A Cambridge artist known for her whimsical flair has joined forces with her horticulturallyoriented partner and opened an unusual concept gallery in Tirau.

Santie Cronje and Shane Berger named their new outlet Deciduus, giving a Latin-leaning nod to the gallery that is a combination of both fine art and plant boutique, specialising in paintings, ceramics, photography and indoor plants.

There is much that is unusual about Deciduus, which opened on May 5. The greenery and most of the artwork feeds into an overarching botanical theme, with plans in place to run quarterly

‘seasonal’ displays which will show work done by invited artists. In between these displays there will be group shows, aimed at eliciting interest from artists keen to submit their work for future exhibitions.

“By changing the collection every three months, we will be keeping it fresh. At some stage we would also like to invite some of those artists to hold workshops, and perhaps even get involved in mentoring young people with the talent and the interest,” Santie said. She also plans to be the gallery’s ‘resident artist’ once she has her working space organised.

Santie and six other artists have their work in the current collection, entitled ‘Nature’. They are

Santie Cronje and Shane Berger are the duo behind the new Deciduus Concept Gallery in Tirau.

Let Tiles Make Your Statement

Whitianga photographer Sharon Wright, Tauranga photographer Tracy Stamatakos, Cambridge painter Chrissy Taylor, Nelson potter Ingrid Firmin, Morrinsville potter Susan St Lawrence, and Auckland potter Helen Perrett.

“We are very lucky to have these independent artists on board for our first collection. They have some fantastic work on display.”

Through an unusual collaboration with both the Alexander Turnbull Library and the Auckland War Memorial Museum, Deciduus is also displaying and selling a small range of prints - some with a botanical theme, others more historical.

South African born and raised, Santie’s work is reflective of her own journey. Birds are included in many of her pieces; she sees them as uplifting and finds a parallel between her own life and that of the godwit. Both have lives spanning two countries.

Shane’s horticultural background places him firmly in control of the botanical side of Deciduus.

Looking for the perfect spot for their concept gallery proved to be a challenge over many months, they said.

“We did look in Cambridge, but just couldn’t find exactly the space we needed,” said Santie. “We were looking for good window frontage, great light and enough space to do what we wanted to do.

This is perfect for us. In summer, we will be able to open up the front and use the patio as an extension of the inside gallery.”

Deciduus is open from 10am every day except Mondays.
