Cambridge newsroom update

Welcome, Shelley

As we go to print, concern is mounting for Leamington resident Adam Ayers, who has been missing since March 27. Locals may be familiar with Adam, who often walks the streets in a yellow Pikachu onesie, and I really hope that by the time this hits your letterbox he’s been found safe and well. As a mum, I can’t even imagine the hell of having your child go missing (even at 30, they are still your baby), so if anyone has any information I hope you will ring police.

On a brighter note, the Autumn Festival starts tomorrow (Saturday, April 7), and there are all manner of amazing things on offer. Into its 10th year, this year’s festival looks like it will be the best yet, so if you haven’t had a look, get onto their website – cambridgeautumnfestival.co.nz – and pick some stuff to go to.

Otherwise, it’s been a busy week on the news front again this week, with the council voting for a second time not to form a non-asset owning, shared water management company with the Hamilton City Council. Fortunately, it looks as though this second vote has spared ratepayers the threat of a judicial review, which would have cost an estimated $200,000 in addition to the $728,000 the council has already spent on getting the proposal to this point. So now it looks like we will need to sit back and wait for central government to take control of this situation.

Personally, I struggle to see the logic behind the decision – particularly as all the evidence from the $728K worth of experts said it was the right thing to do – but that’s democracy for you, I suppose.

I hope you all have a great week, and don’t let the end of daylight saving mess with you too much. And please, keep an eye out for Adam.

Annette Pearson I went to Wellington for a reunion with university mates from many years ago, it was great to see them and catch up.

We are excited to announce that Shelley Mason (pictured below) has joined the Cambridge News team, working the front desk from Monday to Friday, from 9am-3pm.

Originally from Rotorua, Shelley moved to Cambridge from Hamilton with husband Simon and children Oliver (10) and Kimberley (8) almost five years ago.

They came here for Simon’s work – he’s a landscaper who was working on a big project in Hora Hora at the time – but the family has fallen in love with the town.

“I like the close-knit, community feel of Cambridge,” Shelley said, “everyone here has been so friendly.”

Shelley joins the Cambridge News team from NT Joinery in Te Awamutu, where she worked for 18 months.

“This is a completely new industry for me to be in, and I’m really looking forward to working in a small team and working with the community.”

Shelley’s appointment demonstrates a continued commitment to investing in the town by Cambridge News’ owner, David Mackenzie.

“It’s important to us to have a friendly face to greet our advertisers and readers, and I’m confident that Shelley will be a most valuable addition to the Cambridge News team,” he said.

Welcome, Shelley, we are pleased to have you as part of the team (and not just because it’s your job to get the milk).

Feel free to come in and say ‘hi’ to Shelley if you are passing – we are upstairs at 55 Victoria St – or give her a call on 07 827 0005.

Judicial review threat off table

By Claire Castle

For the second time, Waipa District Council has voted against forming a shared water company, electing instead to continue independently managing its own water operations.

As a result of last week’s vote, however, the threat of judicial review is now off the table. Hamilton man Peter Findlay, who had proposed the judicial review in January, said that while he was “disappointed” with the outcome, he had decided not to proceed.

“Given that both parties (WDC and HCC) had responsibility for the final decision, I will leave it be and let central government set the scene,” he said.

In announcing a second vote on the shared water company, Waipa’s chief executive, Garry Dyet, said things had changed since the first vote in December 2017, and a second vote was necessary. “We need to complete the formal consultation process so a further report seeking a

final resolution was needed,” he said before last week’s meeting.

He confirmed putting the issue back on the table, had also “in part” been driven by the potential for Mr Findlay to apply for a judicial review of the council’s December decision.

“Legal advice has made it very clear that, whatever council decides to do, elected members must be very clear on the reasons for their decision and this latest report seeks to do that.”

He also cited “very clear signals” from central government that they want a far more strategic approach to providing water services.

To that end, two proposals were put before council. The first, declining to form a shared water company at all, and the second to form a company with the HCC subject to conditions, including the requirement for two other councils to join.

A letter read at the meeting from Hamilton mayor, Andrew King, urged councillors to reconsider December’s motion to create a shared

water company, while rejecting the second proposition, allowing for the formation of a water company with a minimum of two other councils, saying it would “add cost, time and further frustration to this process”.

Despite this appeal, Waipa councillors voted 7 -6 in favour of abandoning the proposal altogether, mirroring December’s decision.

Councillor Judy Bannon said she was voting in favour of abandoning the proposal because she was concerned a shared water company would add further cost to building a new house, thereby contributing to the housing crisis in New Zealand.

Sue Milner agreed, and said that she felt keeping independent management of the water would be “best for our district and our people”.

Those who voted against forming a non-asset owning, shared water company were councillors Grahame Webber, Sue Milner, Judy Bannon, Clare St Pierre, Elwyn AdreeWilson, Hazel Barnes and Vern Wilson.

Asbestos shuts down site

By Claire Castle Interior work at 60 Victoria Street has ground to a halt, after the discovery of asbestos by Worksafe inspectors this week.

The first and second floors of the building, which began refurbishment in July 2017, were cordoned off at the end of last week after Worksafe discovered there had not been an asbestos survey undertaken before work commenced.

Regulations require a check for asbestos or asbestoscontaining materials before refurbishment work on any structure built before January 2000, which includes the Victoria Street building which was built in the 1980s.

Following the closure, air and swab sampling was undertaken to establish if there is asbestos present, and these tests have come back positive for the material.

Inhaled asbestos fibres can scar lung tissue, causing fibrotic lung disease (asbestosis) and changes in the lining of the chest cavity.

A spokesperson for Worksafe said that a trace amount of asbestos has been confirmed in a confined space inside

the work area, and the non-disturbance notice remains in force for the whole work area. “WorkSafe is working through next steps with the duty holder for how they will manage the presence of the asbestos.

The management plan will ensure there is minimal, if any risk, to the public,” the spokesperson concluded.

Quickfire News Anyone seen Adam?

Concerns are held for Leamington resident, Adam Ayers, a 30-year-old Caucasian male, who has not been seen since March 27. Adam, who is known to walk around town wearing Pikachu or Barney the Dinosaur onesies, or sometimes a wizard costume, was last seen leaving his Tennyson St home on Tuesday March 27. Adam was last wearing turquoise/blue shorts, white knee-high socks with a black strip around the top and a black Canterbury jacket. He has faded orange hair with a shaved strip up the back. This disappearance is out of character for him. If anyone has seen Adam, or knows of his whereabouts, please contact the Cambridge police on 827 5531.

WWI project funding

Five community groups have secured Waipa District Council funding to help mark the centenary of World War 1. The projects, which range from live performances to the unveiling of a plaque, will occur this year within the Waipa district. All are being organised by not-for-profit groups.

Projects to receive funding were: - the purchase of 40 Armistice flags to fly during Armistice week in Cambridge. Funding awarded: $3,685 - to support the artillery theme at the 2018 Armistice in Cambridge event. Funding awarded: $4,000 - the performance of an adaption of the BBC comedy series ‘Blackadder Goes Forth’. To be performed at the Gaslight Theatre in Cambridge. Funding awarded: $2,000 - an Anzac Concert and World War I sing-along presented by the Te Awamutu Brass Band. Funding awarded: $1,631.25 - the creation of a plaque for placement on Anzac Green in Te Awamutu, to be unveiled on Armistice Day 2018. Funding awarded: $3,675.

Couple steals own dog

Internal work is on hold after the discovery of asbestos at 60 Victoria St.

A couple have been fined $750 each for stealing their own dog from the Kihikihi dog pound.

Police have also issued both people with formal burglary warnings which will remain permanently on their records.

The fines were imposed by Waipa District Council after the couple unlawfully broke into the Council-owned pound in January and removed the dog. The unregistered dog, a border collie cross, had been impounded earlier that day after it was reported wandering.

The dog, which had no history of aggression, has since been registered and released back to its owners.

Comedian comes with a serious message

By Sophie Iremonger Mike King touched down in Cambridge last week with an important message for students at Cambridge Middle School.

The New Zealand comedian and now mental health educator rode into town on a custom-painted Suzuki scooter as part of the 2018 I AM HOPE tour – where Mike and a group of friends are riding the 50cc motorcycles, painted by Kiwi artists with their interpretation of “I AM HOPE”, from Invercargill to Cape Reinga. Stopping in at 45 schools and community halls, Mike is speaking to over 20,000 schoolkids and adults about mental health, and how anyone can be the “hope” someone needs when times are tough.

“The truth is most people don’t ask for help, most people don’t go and tell their friends anything because they’re not sure who’s safe, they’re not sure the person they go talk to isn’t going to judge them, isn’t going to put them down, isn’t going to ask them a whole lot of questions they haven’t got the answers to, so we decided to invent something that signifies safe, and here it is,” Mike said to the crowd at Cambridge Middle

School as he revealed the I AM HOPE wristband, given freely to all the students on the tour.

“It’s a wristband, and on this wristband are three little words, I am hope, if you’re wearing this wristband what you are saying to anyone who is struggling is, I am hope, I am here for you, I won’t judge you, I won’t gossip about you, I won’t take your problems on and try and fix you, I’m not qualified to do that, but if you want to go and talk to someone, I will come with you.”

Students were also given stickers and rock-painting kits to help spread the positive message.

Speaking with Mike after the show, he explained, “What we’re trying to do is go, look, everyone makes mistakes, that’s why I make a point of pointing out, everyone makes mistakes, it doesn’t make you a bad person… good people make mistakes, and it’s okay. Good people are allowed to make mistakes.”

The long-time comedian sprinkled humour throughout the more solemn speech, cracking a few jokes and silly stories whilst hammering home to students, “Everyone’s entitled to make mistakes, so forgive yourself and next time do the right thing… you’re all

Pool donations almost $1.4M Cambridge pool has had a massive boost in funding with donations reaching $1.395 million – just $605,000 shy of the target.

Donations received since June last year include $300,000 from the Lotteries Commission, $80,000 from ASB Bank, $60,000 from C & R Developments, $100,000 from Frances Skeet Trust, $15,000 from Shoof International Limited, $20,000 from Shaw’s Wire ropes. An anonymous donor also dropped off a cheque for $20,000 to the Cambridge

council office.

As well as monetary donations, in-kind services have been offered that will also boost the project and keep costs down, with C & R Developments offering to do all earthworks on the site.

Donations towards the pool have also been received from the Brian Perry Charitable Trust ($300,000), Trust Waikato ($400,000) and Cambridge Lions Club ($100,000).

As part of pool redevelopment, Council is also upgrading Williamson

perfect, every single one of you.

“You can be anything you want, anything you put your mind to, all of those little barriers that you put in your way are just thoughts, and thoughts come and go so don’t hold on to the bad thoughts, and pass on the good thoughts.”

Mike confirmed after the show that he had indeed travelled the entire trip on

a scooter. “It’s better than walking,” he joked, adding that they even planned to go 30km out of the way to use a bridge in West Auckland, since they weren’t allowed to cross the Auckland Harbour Bridge on scooters.

Following his Cambridge visit, Mike and his band of scooters stopped at schools in Melville and Rototuna before heading further north to Auckland.

Every student got to high-five Mike King on the way out, with his daughter, Charlie, joining in.

Parents’ support group here

By Claire Castle Toughlove is starting a parent support group in Cambridge from next Monday, aiming to provide support and suggestions for parents struggling with the behaviour of their children.

Leading the group will be Tracy Roose, the chairperson of the Toughlove Waikato Trust, as well as a trained representative and volunteer who can assist families, and a parent herself.

Tracy’s ‘Toughlove moment’ came 17 years ago, when a seemingly minor altercation with her oldest son turned into something much more serious.

Tracy was standing in the kitchen doing the dishes, when her then 12-yearold came in asking if he could have a sandwich. “I said ‘no’, dinner’s almost ready’”, she recalled, “then I looked up and saw the reflection in the window of

him holding a long, sharp knife”.

She remembers thinking, ‘I didn’t know I was going to die today’, as she kept doing the dishes, too afraid to turn around.

“I heard the knife just clatter to the floor and the door slamming…I collapsed onto the floor crying. I just couldn’t do it anymore, it had got too hard,” she said.

Someone then suggested Toughlove, so Tracy and her husband went along to a meeting in Hamilton. Originally thinking they were in the wrong place – there was too much laughter, she said – it was to be the start of a journey for Tracy and her family. “It gave us something we hadn’t had in years…hope.”

Tracy said there had been plenty of early warning signs that her son was going off the rails, but she ignored them. “I can go back to (age) three and see behaviours that I should have had firm boundaries

on,” she explained, “but I was in denial.”

Those early behaviours escalated to physical and verbal abuse, and damage to the family home, culminating in the knife incident. And the behaviour also had a major impact on the couple’s other children, as Tracy found out some years later.

“Our kids said how they had really intense feelings about how he (the oldest boy) had monopolised our time. We didn’t see the manipulation for what it was, but he knew that if he could just get us to start fighting, he could wander off and do what he wanted.”

That was 17 years ago now, and Tracy has spent that time giving back to Toughlove.

People have many reasons for coming, she said, and it’s not so much about the age of the child as it is about the types of “adolescent” behaviour they are exhibiting, Tracy explained, adding that in Hamilton the youngest child causing attendance is six, with the oldest being 31.

The Toughlove support group is starting on Monday, April 9 at the Cambridge Community House on Shakespeare St, from 7.30pm – 9.30pm.

Participants are asked to arrive 15 minutes early to help set up, and to please make other arrangements for children (you can’t talk about them if they are there). If you can’t make it to the first one, feel free to come to any subsequent meetings.

Every wondered about Pepys Place?

Residents will be familiar with roads in Leamington, which are named after famous writers throughout history. One that might not be so familiar, though, is that of Pepys – the man behind Pepys Place, a cul-de-sac off Tennyson St in Leamington.

Samuel Pepys – his surname pronounced Peeps – lived from 1633 to 1703, and it was his diary, a private account of the minute details of his life from 1660 – 1669 that sees him among the list of names on the map of Leamington.

Pepys’ diary was first published in the 19th century and contains his

eyewitness accounts of many of the great events of the English Restoration Period, including the coronation of King Charles II, the Great Plague of London, the Second Dutch War and the Great Fire of London.

He was Chief Secretary to the Admiralty, with his influence and reforms playing a part in the professionalism of the Royal Navy, and later he was also a Member of Parliament, among other achievements.

And, by his own account, he was also a shameless philanderer.

Just in case you were wondering about that.

Toughlove Waikato Trust’s chairperson, Tracy Roose, is bringing a parents’ support group to Cambridge.

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.

Rest homes in spotlight

By Claire Castle Robert Love, who won a case against Bupa St Kilda last year over the inadequate care of his mother in their Cambridge care home in 2016, was flown to Wellington to speak with officials about the experience last week.

Bupa St Kilda was ordered to pay $10,000 after failing to adequately care for Mr Love’s 92-year-old mother, Freda, who resided in the home for just under six months before her death in February 2017.

Frustrated by the lack of support he received from the Health and

Disability Commission and the Waikato District Health Board when he raised complaints about Freda’s care, Mr Love took the home to the Disputes Tribunal for breaches under the Fair Trading and Consumer Guarantees Act for Bupa’s documented failure to provide appropriate care.

“By going through the Disputes Tribunal, it also meant that the name and location of the rest home could be made public and in a timely manner…in other cases the details may be suppressed, often for years, depriving the public of their right to know,” Mr Love explained.

This lack of support from the health watchdogs was a major topic of the discussions Mr Love had in Wellington, and he said officials from HealthCERT – the Ministry of Health division responsible for ensuring hospitals, rest homes and other clinics provide safe and reasonable levels of service for consumers, as required under the Health and Disability Service (Safety) Act 2001 – were “very receptive” to what he had to say.

As well as calling for a Government lead review of the aged care sector, Mr Love is asking for an urgent review of Waikato

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.

The late Freda Love with her sons, Rob (behind) and the late Cris.

DHB’s handling of his complaints, which he maintains lacked vigour and critical thinking as well as leaving concerns about their independence.

He hopes to talk with the Minister of Health directly about this soon.

Mr Love’s visit to Wellington comes amid increasing calls for a government enquiry into the rest home sector.

The $10,000 Mr Love was awarded by the Disputes Tribunal has been put into a fund to help others take similar action against rest homes. Administered by Consumer NZ, who have supported Mr Love in his action, the fund has not been drawn on to date, however there has been an additional donation, Consumer advised.

Consumer NZ’s chief executive, Sue Chetwin, said existing complaints processes need to do a better job when consumers raise concerns about rest home care.

Rest homes must also face meaningful sanctions when they fail to deliver care to required standards, she added.

Jan Adams, managing director of Bupa New Zealand said, “we accept and acknowledge that Mrs Love’s care was not of an acceptable standard for which we have apologised. It’s important to note that, while in this case the care was clearly unacceptable, the sector cares for many thousands of residents and such incidents of poor care are low. Just as we do today, we’ll always work with Government and regulators to deliver quality care to New Zealanders.”

Remembering the Wahine, 50 years on

By Viv Posselt Cambridge’s Florence Shearman will undertake a poignant pilgrimage to Wellington next week.

She will attend the city’s Wahine 50 commemoration – a full day of activities planned to mark the sinking on April 10, 1968, of the Lyttelton to Wellington ferry, Wahine. The tragedy was New Zealand’s worst modern maritime disaster.

It claimed 53 lives, and strongly impacted those who were involved in the rescue and its aftermath.

Florence was one of those helpers. As a nurse, working with a Wellington-based obstetrics specialist, she ended up putting in 19 tough hours that day, starting at 10am when – having heard news of the sinking – she and her boss closed the practice and went down to Wellington Railway Station to provide aid as part of the city’s civil defence.

“I haven’t been back to the railway station since,” she said last week. “This trip will give me a sense of closure I think, and I hope to meet up with others who were involved in the rescue that day.”

Florence has never attended

any previous commemorations of the sinking; this trip is very special to her.

The young nurse was in Wellington in April 1968 to meet a brother returning from Australia.

His own ship had been delayed, so Florence found a job to fund her unexpectedly longer stay.

“Being down there [the station] was very stressful. People were crying … looking for relatives.

I was working with the police a lot, and the Salvation Army were heavily involved. They were wonderful. They were distributing clothing and hot soup – we were trying to warm people up as best we could, but it was very hard. Phones were down, there were no cellphones … I just put my head down and worked through it.”

Those 19 hours are etched in her memory. Florence remembers the elderly woman who couldn’t get out of her wet corset – the diminutive nurse herself battled to get it off her.

“In the end, I held a towel up for privacy while a burly policeman pulled it off!”

Then there was the family from China. They sat in silence, wet and unresponsive, refusing all assistance until police arrived with a small child, alive and wrapped in a blanket. As soon

as their missing child was safely found and returned to them, the family gratefully accepted the hand-out of dry clothes and hot soup.

One of Florence’s sadder memories is of a young woman who had been in Wellington awaiting the arrival on the Wahine of her brother. The two were planning to set off on their OE. “She had come up from the South Island to meet him – but he never made it. That was awfully sad.”

Florence – who is well known in the district for her tireless efforts on behalf of the region’s elderly – goes with the blessing of Waipa District Mayor Jim Mylchreest, who has often worked with her on various projects. She is believed to be the only person from this region attending the event.

“Council is very pleased Florence is going to this commemoration,” he said. “We wish her well.”

The April 10 commemorative programme will see participants mark the event with services, displays and viewings of documentaries and artefacts, a reunion lunch and a flotilla sailpast, spread across various sites Florence Shearman is excited at the prospect of attending next week’s in the city.

Huge gaming event next weekend

By Sophie Iremonger

The Waikato United Gaming Society, more affectionately known as WUGS, is working with the Hamilton Fighting Game Community in an effort to bring together hundreds of video gamers from around the country for epic battles and tournaments next weekend.

The event, dubbed Waikato Arena Rampage, will take place at SkyCity Hamilton from April 13 to 15, the first-ever major fighting game tournament in Hamilton.

Several tournaments will run covering several different games, including onstage duels between some of the country’s top fighting-game players, battling classics such as Street Fighter, Tekken and Dragonball FighterZ, with games projected onto a big screen.

One aspect of the event features a classic “old school” computer gaming activity known as BYOPC (bring your own PC) LAN (local area network), hosted by WUGS. Tom Featonby, founder and president of WUGS, and a Cambridge local, said it’s the chance for gamers to get together and play favourites such as Fortnite, Blur, Garry’s Mod, Age of Empires II, Quiplash and heaps more, in a classic LAN setting.

“Back in the day LANs were really popular, because internet was absolutely terrible, you couldn’t really play online games together, so people used to bring all their computers together and play games that way, you would get like 400 or 500 people along to these events,” Tom explained. “So we’re going back to the roots and getting a bit more social interaction... actually getting gamers out of their houses and into a central location to play games together.”

Dubbed “WUGS at War”, the BYOPC LAN event will run from the Friday evening through to the end of Sunday, Saturday being the main game day where two tournaments will run – Overwatch and Rocket League – played in a one-on-one double round robin format where everyone will play everyone twice, each tournament winner receiving a minimum prize of $50 cash and a $50 PB Tech voucher. “The more entrants we get, the bigger that cash prize gets.”

Tom said his favourite thing about gaming at a LAN event compared to online is, “just seeing people enjoying themselves”. “You know, like when everyone’s laughing

because someone’s done something silly, like died in a really stupid way or something, just having people enjoying themselves together, having a real awesome time playing games, that’s the main thing.

“You can build really good bonds online together, but it’s that next-level of actually putting faces to names.”

The event is R16 unless accompanied by a guardian.

Speedsters on West Thompson St A resident on West Thompson St has reported seeing drivers speeding along his street almost every day, often in excess of 70kmph, since speed bumps were removed from the street several

weeks ago.

A Waipa District Council spokesperson confirmed the speed bumps were removed “due to ineffectiveness at lowering speed and a number of complaints

from nearby residents”.

“Speed bumps are used to reduce speed and in the right environment they can work very well.

But, in this setting they were creating a lot of noise and vibrations, felt

by immediate residents.

This was particularly disruptive when large vehicles and trucks crossed the bumps, and with the deceleration and acceleration of vehicles slowing to go over the speed bump and then quickly increasing their speed.

“The bumps were removed on 22 December 2017. Unfortunately, the replacement surfacing was not to the expected standard and we have asked the contractor to re-surface it.

“Once completed we will be looking at other speed calming measures, this may for example include installing a chicane, road markings and associated signage reminding drivers of the speed limit and the residential environment.”

Trail runner equals Everest

By Sophie Iremonger A local “running junkie” recently did what most people would deem to be crazy, making his way up and down Mt Te Aroha nine times over 28 hours to climb the equivalent of Mt Everest.

Cameron Ferguson took on the More FM Mt Everest Challenge over March 24 and 25, starting the 75km journey at 4am Saturday and finishing just after 8am Sunday,

climbing 8,900 vertical metres. And despite reaching the summit nine times, the 25-year-old only saw the view once due to heavy cloud cover, coupled with persistent wind and rain.

“It was incredibly challenging, but my mindset was, ‘just one lap at a time’,” Cameron explained. “I’ve always very much been someone who wants to push my physical boundaries to the point where my body’s just going, ‘nah can’t do it’, and my brain’s going, ‘nah can’t do it’, and you’ve just got to find that way… it’s just a mindset thing… when your brain is telling you to stop you’re only at 40 percent.”

Cameron, who has only being doing trail running for less than a year, referred to a quote he’d heard multisport athlete Steve Gurney say many years ago, “When it gets really tough and it gets really dark, all you’ve got to do it put one foot in front of the other and you’ll achieve your goal.”

Cameron credited his friends from Waikato Trail Runners as being instrumental in achieving the goal, with members taking turns to accompany him on almost all of the ascents. By lap 8, Cameron started to hallucinate, thinking he was chasing a dark shadow up the pathway. “The support person behind me was kind of freaking out thinking ‘who is he talking to?’”, Cameron laughed, adding that he was not making much sense for around 15 minutes.

On lap 6 Cameron injured his hip flexor, making it difficult to lift his

What’s the deal with Bridge?

Always one to try new things, Claire Castle headed along to a Bridge class at the Cambridge Bridge Club recently, to join in with beginners’ lessons.

First, I need to confess that I am not really a card-playing person, with my previous experience listed on the form being last card and snap, the signs were ominous. Also, I was quite knackered when I turned up.

The bridge ladies, Anne and Kim, were totally lovely and patient, and it was just as well. I knew Kim was speaking English, because I recognised the words she was using individually, but the way she was stringing them together made absolutely no sense to me whatsoever.

Just when I was feeling as though all hope was lost, my eyes scanning for the exit, we played a game of mini-bridge,

The Cambridge Lions were gifted a generous donation last week – a quad bike.

It’s more of a long-term loan, which will come in handy for the charity organisation which has thousands of items donated and sold at the Lions’ Shed on Vogel St each year.

The problem for the local Lions recently has been the drop-off and pick up of these items, which has seen a few minor fenderbenders and health and safety issues take place in the limited-space carpark outside the shed. “We’ve had three (minor) accidents this year,” explained Dave Philips, Lions Shed director. “We’re trying to dissuade people from bringing their cars in, so we’re encouraging people

to park up on the road, and we will pick up or deliver your goods to your car for you.”

Now people can park their vehicles on the grass verge or side of the road next to the Lions’ Shed driveway, and their items can be hauled to and from the shed with use of the newly-donated quad bike, thanks to Blackwood Yamaha.

“They do some good work,” Wayne Blackwood from Blackwood Yamaha said of the local Lions, his wife Janice adding, “It’s really good to support the Lions.”

Dave added that for the donation or purchase of bigger items at the shed, such as couches and freezers, the Lions already run a service using a small truck to cart the goods straight from the premises.

New quad bike to fix carpark dilemma

under the watchful eye of Anne. Smart move, as there was a bit of success there that counterbalanced the utter hopelessness that was taking over (well it was for me, anyway). The highlight of that, for me, was getting to be the “dummy” – putting my hand down on the table and having my partner make all the decisions. Perfect and fitting for my level of comprehension.

Contract Bridge is quite a formal sort of game, with “please-ing” and “thank youing” all over the place, and apparently it was invented by Harold Vanderbilt in 1925, an American with some free time on a cruise ship (taking time off from being an evil genius, I suspect).

Despite being utterly confused, all in

all it was quite fun.

It’s not something you can dip in and out of, however, and if you are in you need to go all in. I’m sure if you have played whist, which bridge apparently originated from, or five hundred, you will probably have much more of an idea about what was going on. And do the homework, that appears to be essential.

The 10-week beginners’ lessons at the Cambridge Contract Club on Fort St are free to attend, with a $7 contribution required for the supplied guidebookand I’m positive that if you stick with it, bridge would be an interesting passtime.

Cambridge basketballer in Commonwealth Games

By Sophie Iremonger The 2018 Commonwealth Games got underway on Wednesday this week on the Gold Coast, where St Peter’s student Charlisse Leger-Walker is playing in the New Zealand women’s basketball team.

At 16 years old Charlisse is officially the youngest player to represent the Tall Ferns, and the third member of her family to represent New Zealand at senior level. The Year 12 student’s first game with the NZ team was set for April 5 against Malaysia in Cairns.

Heading into the event, Charlisse said she was “just super stoked and super happy to have gotten an opportunity as big and as great as this one”.

“My first reaction was, ‘oh my god really?’ when I was on the phone to my coach who had just told me the exciting news,” she said. “I was just

overwhelmed with excitement.”

Charlisse’s sister Krystal, now a sophmore guard at the University of Northern Colorado, also debuted for the Tall Ferns as a teenager in 2014.

Her mother Leanne, now a teacher at St Peter’s School, was a member of the Tall Ferns at the 1990 and 1994 Olympics.

“My mum was really excited. She has a bit of a poker face, but beneath that seriousness she was really happy.

I told Krystal straight away as she was asking me every day if I was in the team, she is so excited that I am going to the Commonwealth Games.”

“You could say I was almost destined to play basketball,” said Charlisse, who has been playing basketball since the age of three. “I was brought up in the gym always playing with a basketball, then always going to my older sister Krystal’s trainings and eventually making up numbers,” she

explained.

“Being able to see the highest level of basketball being played and learning as much as I can is so exciting,” she said.

Just a few days out from the competition, Charlisse said the harsh Australian heat would “definitely be a challenge”.

“However, coming over early and training in it prior to the competition will be a huge bonus,” she said. “And a personal challenge will be to just get out there and play, to not get caught up with how talented and athletic the players are and to just be confident and do my thing.”

“Amazingly Charlisse is only 16 years old, but she plays with the poise of a much older player and is a very clever playmaker,” said Tall Ferns Head Coach Guy Molloy.

The Commonwealth Games continue until April 15.

Lacrosse players up against best

By Sophie Iremonger

Two Year 11 students from Cambridge High School took on a huge task last month, playing

against fully grown men in the 2018 National Men’s Lacrosse Tournament.

Finlay Pirie and Alistair Hearmon, both 15, played with

the Waikato Men’s team to achieve a third-place position overall – an improvement from the team’s fourth-place result last year.

Finlay Pirie (left) and Alistair Hearmon, pictured during practice with the CHS lacrosse team.

“I was, honestly, a little bit apprehensive at first,” explained the Waikato coach Anthony Warrington, also a Cambridge local. “That’s why I had to give them all the shoulder guards and the rib pads, I made sure to bubble-wrap them a bit… we were under a lot of pressure, so these guys handled it quite well.

“It was a great experience, playing with those people and gaining their experience,” Alistair said.

“It was fun,” added Finlay, “playing with professionals that play in the New Zealand national team and stuff like that, they taught us a lot.”

The Waikato team won two of their four games, losing 12 – 6 to the Auckland Blue (A) team, largely made up of the country’s top national players, and 4-10 to the Wellington Whites. The games they won, 8-7 and 9-7, were against a Wellington team which had beaten Waikato to the third-place spot last year.

“It was 7-5 getting towards half time, to Waikato, but then it became 7-6 to Waikato and I was like not again,” coach Anthony said, remembering how “gutted” they were last year to have lost to Wellington, after finishing in the top three several years in a row.

“So, we came third and I was

quite pleased with our result, we got our third place back again,” he laughed.

The boys said they learned a lot from the experience.

“It actually wasn’t too bad,” Alistair said in relation to playing against fully-grown men. “They’re all really nice guys.”

“We had gear on, so it makes you feel a bit more confident, it makes you feel like you can charge into people and not get hurt,” said Finlay. “It helped us a lot (playing with older players).

They teach you, so it was like, getting a fresh experience.”

The pair, who have only started the sport in the last two years, look forward to hopefully re-joining the Waikato men’s team next year, and for now will continue playing in the high school league, also under coach Anthony Warrington.

They’ll also join a combined Waikato high schools’ lacrosse team for a reps tournament later this year.

Coach Warrington said the Waikato men’s team will likely continue playing indoor lacrosse over the winter, and anyone aged 15 and over interested in getting involved can visit Waikato Men’s Lacrosse on Facebook.

Clarkin emerges as goal-scoring hero

By Josh Easby

Teenager Josh Clarkin has emerged as Cambridge’s goalscoring hero, helping the Reds take an early lead in football’s Northern League competition.

After two rounds of games, Cambridge sit atop the second division having beaten Waikato/Bay of Plenty rivals Ngongotaha (5-2) and Hamilton’s Claudelands Rovers (5-1). This Saturday, the club hosts Aucklanders Papakura City at John Kerkhof Park.

Clarkin has scored four goals in Cambridge’s wins, notching a hat-trick in the Reds’ latest victory, a Good Friday win against Rovers. His ability to find the net follows steady progress for a young player who has played all his junior and youth football for the Cambridge club.

After being part of youth teams that won WaiBOP U-15 and U-17 regional titles, Clarkin broke into the Reds first team last season, scoring 10 goals in 11 matches and he became a regular selection. He was a member of the Cambridge U-19 squad that won the Satellite Final at the National Youth Championships in Napier last October.

A crowd of more than 500 turned up at John Kerkhof Park for the first Northern League match at the ground in six seasons as Cambridge faced Claudelands Rovers, a side now coached by former All White Mark Cossey. It was the first time in at least eight years the top teams from the clubs had met in a competition game.

Cambridge raced to a 4-0 lead by half-time with striker Dylan Blair and Clarkin both scoring two goals each. Rovers significantly improved in the second half and reduced the deficit on the hour through former national league player Bailey Webster.

But Clarkin added Cambridge’s fifth goal, and his third, as the match went into added time, giving local supporters cause for jubilation.

Coach Mike Woodlock said the key to Cambridge’s win was hard work at training sessions leading into Easter when the team focussed on its organisation and structure. “I’m very pleased with the way we’re going,” he said. “Two games, two wins – you can’t do better.”

In the early game, Cambridge Reserves lost 4-1 to Claudelands Rovers. The visitors took a 2-0 lead before Jonathan Sanchez scored for Cambridge. However,

Rovers finished stronger to take the points. This Saturday, the reserves face Papakura City at 12.30pm before the main game starts at 3pm.

Meanwhile, Cambridge’s

WaiBOP Championship team begins its season on Saturday with a home fixture against Kawerau Sports.

The club’s women’s team plays its first match at Te

Awamutu on Sunday after beating Waikato Unicol 3-1 in a pre-season friendly with goals from Sophee Rapson-Jones, Abby Cook and last year’s leading scorer Astrid Howarth.

Josh Clarkin clinches his hat-trick with this goal.

Cambridge ladies win Tunnel exploration for trampers national golf trophy over 11 other teams from around the country.

Waikato Women’s Vice-President and Cambridge member Jill Morgan presented the team with individual medals recently, and now the club will have the honour of holding the Rosebowl trophy for the remainder of the year. It is only the second time the trophy has come to the Waikato since its inception in 1976.

The winning team, Jill Morgan, Liz Skiffington, Zeta Syme and Julie Redgate.

Submitted by the Cambridge Tramping Club

On a blue-sky morning recently, a carload of Cambridge trampers travelled to Taumarunui where we enjoyed an early lunch in Cherry Grove Park at the confluence of the Ongarue and Whanganui rivers. At the depot of Forgotten World Adventures, our adventure began.

We rode the rails of an historic railway built in the very early 20th century to transport timber, coal and passengers out to the coast at New Plymouth.

In 1982, heavy rain caused extensive washouts, considered uneconomic to repair the railway line was closed. A 33-year lease of the infrastructure was hastily obtained, and the Forgotten World Experience was born using adapted golf carts to carry passengers.

Eventually we reached Matiere, once a thriving mill town. Situated in an alcohol dry area, the Cosmopolitan Club

was for men only. With nowhere to go, the women funded a Plunket Rooms and toilets for family use when in town. A large Memorial Hall and a primary school are all that remains of the many other buildings which once lined the street.

Empty sections now graze sheep. Enjoying afternoon tea while the golf carts were turned around, we chatted to a local-born resident who had returned home recently and bought a good house for $60,000 and was able to walk to her work. All too soon we

were winding our way over high trestle bridges and culverts, checking the dates on the tunnel portals - 1920 ,1914 and 1918 were seen, with each tunnel serving as fitting memorial to those workers of long ago and their families living in what was then inhospitable country.

Back at Okahukura junction, we swapped rails for the road and returned to Taumarunui for the inevitable ice cream and our return home after an unforgettable experience.

Many thanks to our local guide for a great day.

Heading off into the wild

By Steph Bell-Jenkins In February I heard an inspiring piece of advice while listening to a Radio New Zealand interview with Australian adventurer Jessica Watson that triggered a light-switch parenting moment: “You’ve got to turn off that part of your brain that’s holding you back and just give things a go.”

A few weeks later, I got a chance to put this liberating philosophy to the test when my brother Jon invited me, my husband and our three boys to join his family on an overnight tramp in Pureora Forest Park, which straddles the Hauhangaroa and Rangitoto ranges west of Lake Taupo and east of Te Kuiti.

We would walk 9.4km from Waihaha River car park and stay the night in the 10-bunk Waihaha Hut. My husband is an experienced outdoorsman, but the boys and I had never been on a long tramp or stayed in a Department of Conservation hut before, so I was worried. What if the kids (all aged under nine) couldn’t make the distance?

What if there was no room in the hut?

What if someone broke their ankle?

Then I remembered Jessica’s advice, swallowed the lump of fear in my throat, and decided to give it a go – and I’m so glad I did, because that weekend turned out to be one of the best we’ve ever had.

Even packing our food and gear was an adventure, like planning a mini survival challenge.

My husband made sure we had all the essentials – toilet rolls in waterproof bags, matches, water purifying drops, a little gas

cooker and pot, heatproof spoons and a first aid kit. He borrowed a GPS and my brother had a personal locator beacon for emergencies.

With our gear slung on our backs, we set off from the Waihaha River car park to Waihaha Hut in glorious autumn weather.

The walk was absolutely beautiful, following the Waihaha River through open grassed areas and shrubland into dense podocarp forest. We discovered plants that made “smoke” (pollen) when we touched them, blue mushrooms, fascinating plants and many different birds – kakariki, kaka, tomtits, kereru, tui and robins. One highlight was a narrow suspension bridge that swung wildly as we crossed it, making us feel like Indiana Jones.

The river narrowed as it wound through volcanic terrain towards its source, opening out into cool, clear swimming spots, sweeping around sheer bluffs and roaring and boiling through narrow, rocky chutes.

The walking was easy thanks to the well-drained and relatively flat track, also popular with mountain bikers.

After five hours of tramping with plenty of food and rest stops, we finally reached the hut, tired and extremely proud of ourselves, where four friendly hunters made us very welcome.

Shortly after scoping out the place and choosing their bunks, the kids amazed me by heading straight back out to play in the bush, rather than taking the sensible option and collapsing in exhausted little heaps on the lovely thick foam mattresses provided.

The hut was comfortable and spacious, with indoor and outdoor tables, long stainless-steel benches and a sink with running water, large covered deck, longdrop toilet and tub.

More trampers arrived after dinner and it was great meeting them and chatting as night fell. There were more people than beds, so four of us slept in tents and the rest squished onto the bunks.

I was wondering how the kids would cope with the walk out the next day, but they were incredible during the whole six-hour trek (including generous breaks for lunch and a river swim) and by the time we reached the car park I was in awe

of them.

Before that weekend I would never have guessed our boys could walk 9.4km so happily and that was a real light-switch parenting moment for me.

In the past I’ve been reluctant to attempt long tramps because I was afraid it would be a miserable experience for the kids. I didn’t realise how much strength, stamina and determination they actually had.

But thanks to Jessica Watson’s inspiring advice, I turned off the part of my brain that was holding me back and a whole new world of adventures has opened up for us.

Waikato mountains here we come!

Discover Tirau & Putararu

FRIDAY, APRIL 6, 2018

25-30 minutes from Cambridge

Long term planning for a region on the rise Supplied by Putaruru Prattler As with many councils around the country, the South Waikato District Council is currently working on a LongTerm Plan (LTP) that details activities, projects, funding and importantly issues and challenges facing the district.

Council is already doing a District Plan Review in Putāruru to re-zone land to residential to make residential development easier and quicker, and council is proposing similar reviews in other towns over the coming years.

“We must take advantage of this growth while keeping development affordable,”

said Mayor Jenny Shattock.

“The need to attract more business and create more jobs has never been stronger,” continued Mayor Shattock. “Extensive community consultation during the development of the LTP indicates that more jobs is the most important issue for our people.”

As an area expecting a large amount of growth, council estimates a significant increase in urban residential properties, as high as an average of 67%; and 35% for lifestyle properties which has resulted in a proposed average rate revenue increase for next year (2018-

19) of 7.7%.

“Our proposal is higher than normal, and we appreciate

that many in our community will be anxious about this,” said Mayor Shattock. “There

Volunteer fire brigade marks 75 years Courtesy of the Putaruru Prattler The Putaruru Volunteer Fire Brigade held an open day as part of celebrations for the 75year milestone recently, with plenty on offer to interest visitors of all ages.

They held a controlled demonstration of the rescue processes involved at a two-car collision, which included a communications van, St John as well as the fire brigade. With interesting displays, fun activities and a sausage sizzle to feed the masses, the open day was a big hit with those who attended, and a great way to celebrate 75 years of service to the Putaruru community.

no strangers to running a gift shop.

Moving up from South Canterbury last year, the couple had a dairy farm and a shop – Y-Not’s Furniture & Gifts – in Burnham. Linda would run the shop with help from Andrew, while Andrew would run the farm with help from Linda.

Other business opportunities pulled the pair northward, but when they didn’t pan out the couple decided to do what came naturally, and Paisley House is the result.

Linda said that their trips to Jodhpur, in the northwest Indian state of Rajasthan, are a chance for the couple to check in with suppliers and source furniture to bring back to Tirau.

Even the name of their store – Paisley House – is a nod to the country the couple love so much, the teardrop design being synonymous with India.

It’s a case of keeping on trend, with Linda saying that metal seems to be popular at the moment. “Customers are loving old pieces, especially galvanised steel,” she explained. “It’s a case of trying to source something different,” she added.

Once the furniture has been selected, it is packed into a shipping container

for the six-week journey to New Zealand, where it will start a new life in a Kiwi home. And the furniture they sell is ethically sourced, too, Linda said.

Each piece is either a high-quality original which has been lovingly restored or has been reproduced

with its own unique character using recycled materials or wood from sustainable forests and government controlled fair trade, she explained.

Winter Warmth FEATURE

CAMBRIDGE NEWS | 23

ARE YOU READY FOR WINTER?

What’s the best heating option this winter?

Choosing the best way to heat your home can be daunting, but Energywise has some advice to help find the most efficient way to keep warm this winter. How you use a room will help determine which type of heater is the most suitable.

For larger rooms you want to heat regularly, like a living room, it’s worth paying a bit more upfront for a fixed heater with lower running costs and more heat output than an electric heater.

Heat pumps The benefits of heat pumps include low running costs (when used properly), producing instant heat, and the convenience of temperature control and timers. They can also cool a room in the summer.

Be aware, however, that they must be sized correctly – for the space and the climate – in order to work well. Also, some are more energyefficient than others, so look for the Energy Rating Label (the more stars, the more efficient it is). And unlike a trusty wood burner, they don’t work in a power cut.

Modern wood burners

hot water in the winter which will yield massive cost savings on power bills, with hot water accounting for around 30 per cent of the bill.

Firewood does need to be dry to burn cleanly and efficiently, so you will need to plan ahead and store your firewood undercover – ideally for at least 12 months from newly cut. You will also need building consent to install one, and, unless your property is larger than two hectares, you will need to use a wood burner on the approved list from the Ministry for the Environment.

Electric heaters Electric heaters are good for heating smaller spaces, such as bedrooms, and they are normally very cheap to buy. This is counterbalanced by the fact that they are more expensive to run than most other heating options, and their heat output is low compared with most other types of heaters. All electric heaters are equally efficient, as they convert all the electricity they use into heat. There are different types – radiant, convection, fan – that deliver heat in different ways to suit different situations. While many have built-in thermostats, the accuracy of these is debatable.

of a wetback, to heat hot water in winter.

These burners do need a small amount of electricity, however, so it is a good idea to get an optional battery backup in the event of a power cut. Also, you can’t burn regular firewood in a pellet burner,

and you need a resource consent to install one.

No matter how you choose to heat your home, picking the right heating option for your space will go a long way towards having a warm and dry winter, so pick wisely.

New law for rental properties FRIDAY, APRIL 6, 2018

By Claire Castle

Having a dry and warm home is now one step closer for New Zealanders living in rental properties, following the passing of the Healthy Homes

Guarantee Act at the end of last year. Landlords now have a legal responsibility to provide a warm and dry home for tenants, with any new tenancy from July 1 next year having to be either properly insulated or

have a heating source to ensure the home is habitable. And by July 2024, all tenancies must meet this standard.

The Bill was an amendment to the Residential Tenancies Act of 1986 and means that landlords must now be looking carefully at the quality of insulating and heating in their properties to make sure they comply.

Every New Zealander deserves a warm, healthy home to live in, and the Health Homes Guarantee Act will help ensure that, said Minister of Housing and Urban Development Phil Twyford.

“Until now, rental properties have been treated differently from other products. A butcher isn’t allowed to sell meat that will make their customers sick, but a landlord has allowed to rent out a house that is too cold, or damp and damages the health of its occupants.

“Most landlords do a good job, but the fact is the lack of legal standards means some rentals are not currently fit to live in. 40,000 children a year are admitted to hospital due to diseases are related to poor housing, and 1,600 New Zealanders’ lives a cut short by illnesses caused by living in cold, damp conditions. This has to change. Thanks to this law, it will.

“This law enables the Government to set standards for rental housing quality. The Healthy Homes

standards will cover heating, insulation, ventilation, draught stopping, drainage and moisture.

Many landlords will already meet these standards and will not have to change anything. For those that need to upgrade their properties, government grants for installing heating and insulation will be available.

“The Government will run a consultation process over the next 18 months to ensure that tenants, landlords, public health and building science experts and industry representatives have an opportunity to get involved in creating robust minimum standards” Mr Twyford concluded.

Flavours

FRIDAY, APRIL 6, 2018

Several years ago I presented the TV cooking show Fresh & Fancy Fare that showcased New Zealand produce to an international audience. Growers of our kiwanos — horned melons — were keen to have them featured. New to the market, bright green and pulpy inside with a golden, prickly shell, it was a challenge to produce 10 plus recipes

CAMBRIDGE NEWS | 27

with Jan Bilton

Fall for Fruit

at short notice. Kiwanos have recently made a comeback on restaurant menus.

The kiwano originates from Africa and the pulp is often consumed straight from the shell as a refreshing drink. The cucumber-like seeds can be eaten or removed from the pulp by sieving. The delicate, banana-lime flavoured juice is delicious

with seafood, salads, curries or deserts. The hollowed shells make excellent receptacles for sweet or savoury salads, marinated fish or dips.

Store kiwano in a cool place but not in the refrigerator. Once ripe, they keep for up to two months.

Pears are another awesome autumn treat. The

8th century Greek epic poet, Homer said pears were a gift of the gods. Even then people loved the flavour of the healthy, versatile pear.

Pears are generally picked and sold green. To ripen, place in a paper bag at room temperature.

However, once pears pass through their period of perfect ripeness, they quickly spoil.

KIWANO ALASKAS

BAKED APPLES WITH LIQUORICE SAUCE I used logs of liquorice — chopped — to make the sauce.

12 pitted prunes 3/4 cup orange juice 4 apples julienned rind and juice 1 lemon 25g butter 3 tablespoons brown sugar Liquorice Sauce: 100g liquorice, finely chopped 3/4 cup cream Soak the prunes in the orange juice in a small bowl for at least 24 hours.

Core the apples. With the point of a sharp knife, make a slit in the skin around the circumference of each apple.

Place in a small baking pan.

Stuff with the orange juicesoaked prunes and lemon rind.

Dot with butter and drizzle with the lemon juice and sugar.

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Bake for about 45 minutes or until cooked in the centre.

Baste occasionally with the pan juices.

Meanwhile, place the liquorice in a small saucepan with the cream and melt over very low heat, stirring constantly. Serve the apples surrounded with a drizzle of liquorice sauce.

Serves 4.

A sweet showstopper. Use the leftover juice and seeds in a vinaigrette. Or flavour with orange liqueur and spoon over ice cream or fruit flans.

4 large scoops vanilla ice cream 2 kiwanos 100g sponge cake 4-6 tablespoons orange-flavoured liqueur or to taste Meringue: 3 egg whites 1/2 cup caster sugar Prepare the scoops of ice cream and freeze until rock solid.

Halve the kiwanos crosswise. Scoop out the flash into a bowl. Use a small sharp knife to cut any membrane attached to the shell.

Cut the sponge into 3 cm squares. Place in the bases of the halved kiwanos.

Sprinkle with the liqueur.

Beat the egg whites, until fluffy. Gradually add the sugar, beating until it is dissolved and stiff peaks form.

Preheat the grill to medium-high.

Place a scoop of the frozen ice cream in the centre of each kiwano on the sponge. Spoon a little of the kiwano pulp around the ice cream. Pipe or smother the top with meringue. Grill for 2-3 minutes until the meringue is coloured. Serve immediately. Serves 4.

CARAMELISED PEAR CROISSANTS 1/4 cup each: brown sugar, lemon juice, maple syrup 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 4 firm but ripe pears 4 large croissants 1 cup thick custard Combine the brown sugar, lemon juice, maple syrup and cinnamon and place in a large frying pan. Heat until the sugar is dissolved.

Peel, quarter and core the pears. Add to the pan. Turn the pears to coat well.

Poach for 15-20 minutes, until cooked, basting often and turning once. Place aside but keep warm.

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper.

Halve the croissants horizontally and spread the cut sides thickly with custard. Place the bases on the baking tray and top with the pears. Sandwich together with the tops.

Bake for 8-10 minutes, until golden and crisp.

Serve with any remaining syrup on the side. Great served dusted with a combo of ground cinnamon and icing sugar with whipped cream on the side. Serves 4.

Cambridge Society of Arts April artist Submitted by the Cambridge Society of Arts

Once a month the Cambridge Society of Arts has a display of one of their artist’s work on ‘the wall’ at the Painting Place on Thornton Rd. The April artist is Jennifer Burton.

Jennifer, who is the secretary of the Cambridge Society of Arts, has a longstanding interest in art.

She initially became involved with wood turning producing a range of pieces including tables, bowls and lamps. Her interests also included stained glass work resulting in the production of copper foil lamps and leadlight pieces. One feature work is a large leadlight window depicting a rural New Zealand scene in the visitor gallery of a prominent commercial building in Hamilton. In between all this was a professional career, raising a family and operating a farming enterprise.

More recently Jennifer has developed a passion for painting, enjoying watercolours, acrylics and oils.

Her works include a wide range from traditional to impressionistic to abstract. When asked why such a variation she said that she tends to experiment with paint and likes to explore the different techniques that are possible using the different media and styles.

There is so much to learn about art in all its forms, but Jennifer considers that for successful works it is essential to have good composition.

Jennifer will have a painting on display at the “Rural Artists” sample exhibition at Cambridge Farm Source from 28th March and will also have paintings on display at the Cambridge Art Society Painting Place, Thornton Rd from April 14 to 15.

FRANCES MCDORMAND

A QUIET PLACE Highly entertaining and effective thriller. “It was one of the greatest theatre experiences I've ever had. Krasinski (The Office, 13 Hours, It’s Complicated, Detroit, Aloha) is able to do what all the best directors do - playing the audience like a fiddle. He knows when to make you laugh, when to cry and most of all, when to scream. The film is beautifully shot and the cast does an exceptional job at conveying true terror and a true sense of family. Overall, A Quiet Place is a must-see experience for any fan of horror or fans of the theatre going experience. See it with an audience and hold on to your butts, 'cause you’re in for a ride.” Vince.

FRIDAY, APRIL 6, 2018

Bitten by the Love Bug Victoria Square was bustling on Saturday, as the VW Public Show and Shine display brought a feast of German engineering to town.

As part of the 2018 Qualitat Volkswagen Nationals held over Easter, more than 200 classic vehicles converged on Cambridge for a public show and judging. VW owners and enthusiasts travelled from around the country for the event, which was followed by a prizegiving dinner

and trophy presentation for the winning vehicles, which were judged according to model and year of manufacture.

On Sunday, the vehicles went on a mass cruise from Karapiro Domain over to Matamata to conclude the event, which was hosted by the Auckland VW Owners’ Club with assistance from the Waikato VW Club.
