Ghosts walk the streets By Sophie Iremonger
T
HERE WAS A SOLEMN silence in the Cambridge CBD on Thursday morning when the ‘ghosts’ of fallen soldiers stood on the street in remembrance. They were Year 13 drama students from Morrinsville College, dressed as New Zealand soldiers and nurses who died during the Battle of Passchendaele in Belgium, 1917. October 12 marks 100 years since one of our country’s darkest days – the most devastating battle in our military history, when 842 New Zealanders were killed in just four hours of battle at Passchendaele. A failed attack by British and Australian troops was
supposed to open the way for NZ soldiers to attack Germans occupants at the Passchendaele village. The Kiwis pushed forward anyway and were pinned down by German machine guns in thick mud, resulting in our worst-ever war toll. The survivors eventually fell back to the start position and were later helped by Canadian troops to take the village. “We are the ghosts of the past, here to remind you not to forget the sacrifices of the few for the many,” read the cards that the students gave to curious passersby on Victoria Street. As ‘ghosts’, they remained silent throughout; the only sound heard from them was when one girl sang the iconic
Pokarekare Ana – a love song written around the start of World War One. “It’s not every day you see people dressed in the World War One era walking through the town,” said their teacher Louise Keenan, head of drama at the school. “Everyone sort of knows about Gallipoli, but this (Passchendaele) was actually New Zealand’s biggest battle, and nobody really knows about it,” she said. UK artist Jeremy Deller came up with the idea of doing this for the Battle of Somme centenary last year, Louise added. “It’s based on the idea that after the Great War, lots of people reported seeing their dead relatives in the shopping centres and train stations and that, so it’s
that idea of their ghosts being among us. A few people have been saying that it gives them the chills a little bit, seeing this.” The contingent of students dressed as soldiers and nurses walked from Duke Street along Victoria Street to the cenotaph, stopping along the way to stand silently in remembrance. They went on to do the street performance in Te Awamutu and Hamilton, having done the same in Matamata earlier that day. “We wanted to recognise the fact that as lot of these people (killed in the battle) came from rural New Zealand, it wasn’t just Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch,” Louise Keenan said.

Congratulations to KATHRYN COWELL, winner of the Equidays night tickets – have a great time!
As part of our ongoing commitment to improving your paper, we’re launching a new mast-head and font this week. As ‘newspaper geeks’, we are pretty proud of it and think that it gives a more professional look to the paper – much more ‘newspapery’, we reckon. And we have a snazzy new website: www.cambridgenews.nz, if you want to check us out on the Interweb. Also, starting this week, we have a police report – bringing you a weekly update of what’s been happening around our town. Obviously, the crime will most likely have been committed by people from outside of Cambridge, but we still think it’s worth reporting. By the time you are reading this, week one of the school holidays will be pretty much over. To all the parents at home with the kids I say ‘kia kaha, you’ve got this’. It would be great if we could get more than a few hours without rain, but given how things have been lately I wonder if this is just an impossible dream and we will all end up with webbed feet. Which leads me nicely to my next point – Mental Health Awareness Week is next week. Mental health is something we could all do with more of,
Thank you
and this year’s theme is getting outside (presumably more than taking the rubbish out or going out to the letterbox). If it stops raining, ever, I totally intend on doing exactly that. Many people swear by the benefits of getting out into nature, and we are pretty lucky in Cambridge that we have plenty of nice places to recharge those mental health batteries. So, get out there, Cambridge, and enjoy the great natural places this town has to offer (but take an umbrella, just in case). Check out www.MHAW. nz for more info on boosting wellbeing, and get the kids into their colouring competition on page 29 of the paper this week – they might win, and the silence while they are colouring will also be good for your mental health.

Growth fuelling Waipa water spend
Waipa District Council is looking down the barrel of an extra $100-plus million spend on water services over the coming decade. And while most of that money will be returned to the Council by land developers and others, there are concerns the wider infrastructure industry may not have the
capacity to get the work done. In its 2015-2025 10-Year Plan, Council budgeted close to $220 million for water, wastewater and stormwater work. That work is now underway, including an upgrade of the Karapiro water treatment plant and plans to upgrade the Te Awamutu water
supply. But massive growth, particularly in Cambridge, means Waipa ratepayers will need to finance huge, new infrastructure projects to allow housing areas to develop in time for projected demand. Group manager service delivery Barry Bergin said much of the proposed new
Waipa District Council says it will need to spend around $62 million on stormwater infrastructure to open up new areas for development in Cambridge. Most of that money will be returned to the council from land developers.
spend – around $62 million – was ring-fenced for stormwater infrastructure in Cambridge west. By 2050 a further 14,000 people will call Cambridge home, driving demand for an estimated 212 new houses each year. Much of the new development will be on flat land where soakage is poor. In addition to new Cambridge housing areas, around $22 million will also be needed to provide water, wastewater and stormwater to the Hautapu industrial site. Road upgrades are needed to open up the site and provide connections to the Cambridge section of the Waikato Expressway. Bergin said massive growth in the district was stretching his team’s ability to deliver the capital projects but Waipa was not alone. Across New Zealand, councils were struggling to attract specialist water and technical staff. Many professional consulting firms, used to
support council staff, were already at capacity, he said. “We already have an enormous capital works programme in front of us and growth across the district is adding to that challenge. “It’s a very positive challenge to have but we will need to think very carefully about priorities and funding.” “Those will be issues that
Spotlight on ethical fashion A fashion night in Cambridge on October 14 will showcase ethical fashion, with a catwalk display and a panel discussion with experts to give people ideas about how they can buy ethically without breaking the bank. Organiser Mel Moore said “a lot of people want to buy ethically, but they don’t know where to start.” Tear Fund will also be there to explain their free Ethical Fashion Guide, which helps consumers make choices that prevent the exploitation of workers. The show is on Saturday October 14, 7pm at Raleigh St Christian Church. All ages are welcome, entry is by gold coin donation and supper is provided.
Car totalled on Thornton Rd
A visitor to Cambridge has been left with a bad taste in his mouth, after his parked car was written off on Saturday night. Andrew Fowke was in town visiting his partner’s parents and had his car parked at the top of Thornton Road, just past the intersection with Albert Street. Sometime during Saturday night another vehicle collided with Andrew’s car and drove off without the driver leaving any details. The force of the impact shunted his car 10 metres down the road. Andrew said both he and police think
the vehicle was a silver car, judging by paint left behind and the height of the damage. “Something hit it really hard and hadn’t slowed down before it hit it,” Andrew said, pointing out there were no skid marks on the road. The car is a write off and with only third-party insurance Andrew is stuck with the cost of a new car, but he still hopes that someone’s “moral compass” will see them come forward. He is appealing for anyone with information to contact the Cambridge police station on 827 5531 or phone Crimestoppers on 0800 Andrew Fowke was visiting Cambridge when his parked car was written off on Saturday night. 555 111 to make an anonymous report.

Cambridge Primary China-bound By Sophie Iremonger
Cambridge Primary School’s cultural exchange group has taken off on their ten-day China trip, departing Thursday evening on a ten-hour flight bound for Shanghai. Twelve mostly-senior students are going on the trip, with all but one having a parent or guardian
accompanying them, along with teacher Briar McGougan and Principal Mike Pettit. The group will be visiting the school’s sister school Shenlong Primary School, whose students visited Cambridge Primary School just over a month ago. In the last few days of their trip the students and their guardians will stay
with host families from Shenlong and enjoy the cultural activities they have planned. Cambridge Primary School along with seven other local schools began teaching Mandarin four years ago, which prompted the school to organise the trip a year ago. “Although it’s tying in with our sister school,
“Especially considering I was really ill when I made the video,” Seb, who had a bad cold at the time, said. “So, I just had to cut it up and edit it, doing a sentence at time.” Chris Harris presented Seb with a certificate on Thursday, but the big prize is yet to come. In January, as part of the United Nations International Holocaust Remembrance Day, Seb and his mum will be flown to Wellington to attend a ceremony at Government House. There, in front of officials from HCNZ, the Human Rights’ Commissioner, holocaust
survivors, their families, and Paul Seideman himself, Seb will share his video and be presented with a $200 cheque. In explaining why Seb’s entry had been successful, Chris said it ticked all the boxes. “We look for young people to be inspirational, and your message definitely covered that,” he told Seb. “It covered that message that we wanted about the relevance of the holocaust in today’s world.” Seb said the experience had helped him appreciate the reality of the holocaust. “I think you can learn that, as I said in my video, no matter how civilized, how well set up you think your country is, how well set up the laws are, some lunatic can still get into government and take over and kill off most of an entire race of people. I’m a little bit worried about America, to be honest.” Chris said that Paul Seideman, a survivor of five different concentration camps, was eager to see the video but wanted to wait until the ceremony in January to watch it.
Seb wins holocaust essay competition
By Sophie Iremonger
A Cambridge High School student got a shock when the National Director of Education for the Holocaust Centre of New Zealand (HCNZ), Chris Harris, turned up at school to see him on Thursday. Chris was there to tell the Year 10 student, Seb Bartley, that he had just won the junior section in the organisation’s annual Paul Seideman Holocaust Essay Competition. Seb had produced a video for the competition, but said he didn’t expect his entry to be successful.

it’s really more about immersing the students in the Chinese culture, applying their Mandarin skills… We’re really hoping that eventually this can involve other schools, similar to what the Middle School does with their Japan trip… but for now we’re just trying it with our school,” principal Mike Pettit said. Ms McGougan said she looked forward to observing the teaching practices used in China and giving the students the chance to become more
“Asia-aware”. The students will be showcasing their Kiwi culture too, with cultural songs such as Tutira Mai Nga Iwi, the haka, and even teaching the Chinese kids how to play rugby. The students were buzzing with excitement in the days leading up to their departure. They said they were most looking forward to visiting the amusement parks and various other tourist attractions, seeing the robots at the electronics museum, the markets,
taking a ride in a bullet train, and seeing panda bears at the zoo. “I’m looking forward to having someone from a different culture to talk to… like in New Zealand we have New Year’s Eve, how would they celebrate that day? Things like that,” said Addy Cook, who was also excited to be going on her very first plane ride. “I would like to see how they live and what their houses are like and how they’re different to ours,” said Peyton Barnard.

Pound Hounds changing lives
By Claire Castle Unwanted dogs at the pound have a new future thanks to Pound Hounds Rescue, the brainchild of two local women who are passionate about pooches. Council animal control co-ordinator officer Helen McLean and massage therapist Rachel Haakma struck up a friendship around 7 years ago when Rachel adopted her dog, Teyha, from the pound.
The pair got talking and Rachel offered to take photos for Helen, who was sending out regular emails trying to rehome unwanted dogs at the pound. Fast-forward to May this year, and the duo launched Pound Hounds Rescue, specialist dog rehoming service running exclusively through the Waipa District Council’s pounds in Cambridge and Kihikihi. The council
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.

In the year from July 1, 2016 until June 30, 2017 there were 8033 dogs on the council’s register, an increase of 295 (4%) from the year before and consistent with growth over the past five years. Over that time, 440 dogs were impounded and of those 342 were claimed, 32 were re-homed and 45 were destroyed. Because Pound Hounds started in May this year, we will have to wait until next year’s report to see the difference Rachel and Helen have made in the dog re-homing numbers. has always tried to find homes for suitable unwanted pooches in the pound, Helen said, but all rehoming is now managed by Pound Hounds, which often moves the dogs into foster homes before they find their ‘forever home’. Wayne Allen, Manager Planning and Regulatory at Waipa Council praised the women’s efforts. “We are very fortunate to have people like Helen and Rachel who give up their personal time as volunteers to assist in re-homing our stray and abandoned dogs. Bringing many of these dogs into foster homes where they are cared for whilst being placed up for adoption
with the right people,” she said. It’s in everyone’s interests for the match to be right, Helen pointed out, otherwise the adoption will be doomed to fail. “We need it to be the best fit with their family, and it needs to match their lifestyle,” she said. More than just a community service, this truly is a passion for Rachel and Helen. Upon asking how many dogs have been rehomed since the service got off the ground in May, a list of
names of the pups was sent through. It’s not about the numbers, it’s about changing the lives of the dogs and the people who adopt them. There have been 24 ‘poundies’ so far this year – that’s 24 dogs with a new future thanks to registered charity Pound Hounds and their sponsors. For more information – including organising donations of dog food and becoming a foster ‘parent’ – visit www. poundhoundsrescue.co.nz.
into their ‘forever homes’ is a great outcome for the community,” he said. Pound Hounds don’t take unwanted dogs directly from the public, because they just can’t, Rachel said. “The whole point was that this is about the dogs that couldn’t get into the other ‘rescues’ because they (the other rescue organisations) are already so full of emergency cases – they would try to take them in where they could but there wasn’t always room,” she said. And there’s a process to go through for those wanting to adopt a dog, as Pound Hounds Rescue founders Rachel Haakma and Helen explains. “We try her dog Teyha (left), and Helen McLean and her dog and match the right dog Sandy.

Ecoblitz at St Peter’s School A never-before-seen moth and a rare fungus were discovered in Cambridge at the weekend, as students and scientists teamed up for St Peter’s School’s 2017 Ecoblitz. “An Ecoblitz is a way of systematically surveying different habitats in a way that we can repeat in future years to look at change over time,” said Dr Tim Curran, a senior ecologist at Lincoln University. Lincoln University’s ecology department pioneered the award-winning concept in Canterbury in 2014 with the aim of giving high school students the opportunity to explore and connect with nature. It brought the initiative to St Peter’s
two years ago, following work to help the school improve the sustainability of its working dairy operation, Owl Farm. “In 2015 we held an Ecoblitz for the first time to establish some baseline data and that data was used to make some management decisions about the farm in particular,” said St Peter’s head of biology Sara Loughnane. “Since then some environmental initiatives have been put in place, including a wetland restoration project, and so this is a comparative study to measure the impact they’ve actually had on biodiversity.” Forty-two students volunteered for the two-day Ecoblitz, learning ecological survey techniques such as electrofishing, spotlighting and infrared motion-sensor photography under the expert guidance of Lincoln University senior ecologists Dr Tim Curran and Dr Jon Sullivan and other conservation specialists. Split into teams, they scoured the campus for insects, birds, fish St Peter’s Ecoblitzers checking out the local wildlife. and vertebrates such

Walkers support senior citizens By Viv Posselt
Undaunted by blustery weather conditions, dozens of hardy souls walked the Cambridge Raceway track on Monday morning in recognition of senior citizens. Buttoned up against the wind, they stepped out as part of the International Global Walk to Recognise the Value of Older People. The event was organised locally by Cambridge’s Florence Shearman to
mark the United Nationsdesignated International Day of Older Persons on October 1. Joining the seniors and their supporters were a few special guests who enjoyed several laps of the track in two-seater sulkies driven by retired trotting and harness drivers. The dignitaries included Waipa District Mayor Jim Mylchreest; Diane Turner, the Wellingtonbased director of the Office for Senior Citizens
at the Ministry of Social Development; and Charles Gower, advocate at the Waikato-based Nationwide Health and Disability Advisory Trust. Also, there was Age Concern Hamilton executive officer Brent Nielsen, and numerous other representatives of local organisations. Sport Waikato lent additional support this year, and mounted a stand carrying informative brochures on the various
‘Welcome to our world of art’
health and welfare activities and services available to seniors. Providing entertainment throughout was the local
band Passion, made up of brothers Ernie and Robert Muru. The theme of the 2017 UNdesignated commemoration
was “Stepping into the Future: Tapping the Talents, Contributions and Participation of Older Persons in Society.”
Walkers wait to set off as the event organiser Florence Shearman hands the mic back to emcee George Simon.

Supplied by Resthaven There were big celebrations at Cambridge Resthaven’s Cultural Day recently. National costumes replaced uniforms for the day, international cuisines tempted the taste buds, and the rooms were filled with the sounds of foreign languages and music as staff, residents and their families shared the many different cultures of the Resthaven community. There was a cultural show with performances by staff, students and residents. Dressed in their national costumes they performed dances, skits and songs from their home countries. And when it was the turn of the kiwi residents, their singing of the National Anthem was a real crowd pleaser. Resthaven has staff from all over the globe - Nepal, Philippines, Indonesia, Denmark, South Africa, Kiribati, Indonesia, Zimbabwe, England and, of course, New Zealand. With such a range of cultures, one of the
highlights of the day was definitely the food. Everyone brought their international food to
share for afternoon tea and enjoyed the rare opportunity to try foods that they hadn’t before.

All creatures great and small By Sophie Iremonger St Andrew’s Church played host to a gathering of animals and their owners on Sunday for the annual pet blessing service, which offered the chance for pets of every kind, furry or feathered, to be blessed in recognition of St Francis of Assisi. Widely recognized as the patron saint of animals, St Francis’ birthday is celebrated each year at churches around the world with a pet blessing being held on the Sunday closest to his birthday, October 4th. It was mainly dogs that turned out for the occasion, and they seemed ecstatic to be joining their owners at church. The only cat that attended, Dusky, owned by William Veitch, did not seem as amused. A handful of mice and a cockatiel named Sweetheart, owned by Maree Hall, rounded out the range of pets. The odd bird chirp and excited whine could be heard throughout the service, but as usual there weren’t any incidents between pets. Towards the end of the service, St Andrew’s reverends went around the room blessing the pets which was followed by communion for their owners. Reverend Malcolm French, who was enjoying his first pet blessing service since joining the church last year, said he was delighted with the turnout and thought the experience was a lot of fun.

By river to the Waipa a The Waikato and Waipa rivers were the original routes into the heart of the Waipa district. General Cameron ed pā, pā used the routes in his bid to outflank and bypass fortified where Māori were expected to resist the European invasion. With the establishment of military outposts at Cambridge and Alexandra, rivers became the chief routes for supplies, soldiers’ families and settlers. Within a short period of time the two rivers became scenes of heightened activity with as many as four boats a day plying the rivers from Ngaruawahia to Cambridge and Alexandra. The main company operating river traffic was the Waikato Steam Navigation Company which built a large wharf and storage shed in Cambridge at the junction of the Waikato River and Karapiro Stream. The larger riverboats operating on the two rivers were the Bluenose, Waipa, Rangiriri, Waikato and Delta. The Rangiriri was sold out of Government service in early 1868. But using river transport wasn’t cheap. In 1876, Waikato Steam Navigation advertised freight from Auckland to Cambridge and Alexandra as: “Up river 45/- [45 shillings, or £2 5s] a ton; Down river 35/- a ton; Timber 3/- a 100 ft; Cabin passenger 5/-; Deck passenger 3/6 [3 shillings 6 pence]; Horse 5/-; Buggy 5/-.” In 1881 a new wharf was built below the west end of Duke Street, below today’s Cambridge Primary School. The goods were hauled up the
steep bank by a two-way trolley system powered by a stationary steam engine. Most of the cargo that came ashore was coal, timber and general building materials. The Waikato Times reported in February 1881 that river traffic to Cambridge “was very brisk. Besides boatloads of general merchandise brought up daily by the Delta, she invariably brought up in-tow a loaded barge”. The barge was usually loaded with timber. Picnickers and revellers were conveyed down both rivers on the Delta and Rangiriri, and later on the Freetrader and Pioneer, to Hamilton and Ngaruawahia on Boxing Days and New Year’s Days. Usually the local brass band was on board, and there was dancing on the deck. By the 1920s, river transport was still popular and economically viable. By then the Roose Shipping Company dominated trade on the Waikato and Waipa Rivers. However, the river trade could not compete with the railway, and road transport on sealed roads. The regular service provided by river transport soon declined and eventually discontinued.

‘Mr G’ farewelled after 40 years By Sophie Iremonger
A farewell assembly was held last week to bid goodbye to Cambridge Middle School’s longest standing teacher, Mr Richard Glover, who retired in August after more than 40 years with the school. Mr Glover has left an impressive legacy during his career at Middle School, setting up a range of sports too long to list and influencing generations of Cambridge
students. Students and staff alike wore curly wigs and moustaches to the assembly as a fun tribute to Mr Glover, whose moustache and dark curls have become a trademark over the years. During the assembly he was given several gifts as part of a retirement kit and was awarded a raft of certificates which included ‘best moustache’ and ‘most amount of time wearing shorts in winter’. He was also presented with
an official ‘graduation’ certificate for finishing his time with the school. Two students from his class spoke during the service, thanking him for his dedication to their class and the many that came before them. “Our class has really appreciated all of your stories you have shared with us. We will also never forget the Mr G way, and all of our learning.” During the interval break, one of Mr Glover’s students tried to explain
Mr Glover received a certificate for best moustache at the farewell assembly
the ‘Mr G way’. “Mr G’s way is when he would simplify it, he would say, ‘do it Mr G’s way’,” said Jayda MunroSmith. “He was brilliant, like he had the coolest stories.” “He was always nice and would take us on trips to cool places, and he was on the side-lines at AIMS
Games giving us support,” said Mikyla Knowles, a member of the girls’ football team. Having been designated a special ‘throne’ on stage, Mr Glover got up and spoke during the assembly. After teaching around 1300 students across 42 classes and coaching countless others, it was a big
goodbye to be said. “Work hard, it’s not the people who are the really bright top ones who make it, it’s the ones who work hard, and you’ll get there. Always look ahead, look ahead and do your best wherever you can. “It’s a privilege to be here, and it is quite hard to walk away.”
Poo-post causing a stink Following community concern, Cambridge News approached the council about a post on the Te Awa River Ride near Gaslight Theatre which has been stuffed with plastic bags of dog faeces. The following is a response from Wayne Allan, Manager Planning and Regulatory, Waipa District Council: “We were made aware of a post being used to dump dog poo bags late last week and have since arranged for the rubbish and post to be removed. “Council already provides a dog poo bin at the Gaslight Theatre
exercise area nearby to this track and have not had any requests for an additional bin to be installed on the Te Awa trail. At this stage we would have expected that the existing dog poo bin would meet the requirements of this dog exercise area. A number of factors are considered when a request for a bin is received and each case would be assessed on individual requirements. It is a dog owner’s responsibility to clean up after their pet and we would encourage dog owners to respect other track users and take their rubbish to the nearest available bin.”

Embroidery skills on display
Three Cambridge women will have their work included in this month’s Waikato Embroiderers’ Guild Exhibition in Hamilton. By Viv Posselt The three are members of the Waikato Guild and number among around 19 locals whose expertise with a needle and thread will be on show in Hamilton this month. The exhibition will feature a collection of work from the past two years, including a display of quilts made for the Waikato Hospital’s newborn unit. There will also be a 2018 calendar showcasing
embroidery – which in cludes input from Cambridge members – as well as three raffles of pieces of hand embroidery produced by various Guild members. Despite this seemingly an age of instant gratification, embroidery in its many forms is gathering fans in growing numbers in some parts of the world. America and the United Kingdom are currently enjoying a great resurgence in the craft, membership in the almost
60 guilds and numerous stitching groups in New Zealand remains steady. With today’s ready access to information, those with an interest in it can easily research the various types of embroidery, learning how it has been done through the centuries by the different peoples around the world and viewing images of their work. Some of those styles date back to several centuries BC. Early examples of

embroidery have been found in many parts of the world, including China and Scandinavia. Embroidery from Europe, the Far and Middle East and in the medieval Islamic world was variously linked to royalty, the church, and those with status and wealth. By mastering the art, many young women of their day were granted enhanced standing within their communities. Cambridge women have long been engaged in sewing. In the latter part of the last century, they banded together into a group which was linked initially to the Waikato Embroiderers Guild and then went on to form the Cambridge Embroidery Group. Members continue to meet on the first and third Thursday of each month at the St Andrew’s Church hall, and are always open to welcoming newcomers.

CPS on show Cambridge Primary School kids had their talents on display at the Town Hall last week, with both the senior and junior syndicates putting on productions. Photo by Lou Kibby The juniors performed songs and skits from the movie Moana (top two photos), while the seniors did a medley of Dr Suess numbers. The night-time performances were sold-out as parents, families and friends of the school flocked to the foot-tapping shows. The kids appeared to have a ball both rehearsing and performing their numbers, but parents will attest that they were quite ready for the school holidays to roll around at the end of the week.

Reds return to Northern League
Q: What’s the best time of the day to exercise? A: I think I may have had this question before so forgive me if I’m repeating myself as my answer will be the same! The best time of the day to exercise is the time that works in with your lifestyle that means you will consistently do it. If that means 5.30am before your work day starts, or in your lunchbreak, or after work, then that will be the time for you. It’s almost not what you do, but that you do it regularly enough – that’s what the human body adapts to and that’s how positive habits are formed. It doesn’t have to be hard out every day, neither should it be easy every day –recommendations are that you need to do some tougher stuff three days a week. Q: Some friends and I are thinking about doing one of the Great Walks. What kind of training should we concentrate on? Should we just do hill training or is walking on the flat okay too? A: I think it’s worth treating this like a sports event – sports training is as specific as possible when it comes to movement patterns and uses as similar an environment as possible. So for a Great Walk, flat concrete footpaths, whilst they might help cement movement patterns will do nothing for specificity and you’re better on dirt, grass and gravel like you’ll encounter. Also uphill training will be important but so will walking on uneven surfaces and going down hills – that’s usually what gets your legs the most!

The final day of racing at the competition on Sunday saw New Zealand claim both double sculls world titles with Brooke Donoghue and Olivia Loe winning their first world championship title in the women’s event and John Storey and Chris Harris taking gold in the men’s with the Polish crew just 0.5 seconds behind them. The women’s eight, made up of Emma Dyke, Lucy Spoors, Rebecca Scown, Kelsi Walters, Kelsey Bevan, Georgia Perry, Ashlee Rowe, Ruby Tew and cox Sam Bosworth, claimed a bronze medal in a
nail biting final where less than a second separated the top three. Hannah Osborne took second place in the women’s single sculls B final. Matt Dunham won New Zealand’s first medal of the competition on Saturday, with a stunning second place finish in the lightweight men’s single sculls final. Sitting in fifth place for the first 1500 metres of the race, Dunham made his move in the last 500 metres to go, picking his way from fifth to second place with an outstanding sprint finish. The 2017 World Rowing Championships marks the end of the season for the New Zealand elite rowing team with crews now taking some time off before trials and summer squad resumes later in the year.
New roof for bowling club Submitted by the Central Cambridge Bowling Club If you were to take a stroll up Alpha St past Vosper Law you will see the Central Bowling Club’s roof has been replaced with a new shiny green one. The work has just been completed by Cambridge Roofing, and it looks impressive. The club is in fine heart with all tournaments full and a group of keen bowlers. Results to date have seen Bronnie McGowan winning the grandmothers’ singles and Robbie Davidson the men’s handicap singles. The men’s consistency pairs went to Gordon (Flash) Searle & Ian (Sherriff) Wilton. Last weekend saw a win for Trevor Rishbridge and Barry McNeill in a 2x4x2, and a win for Jim Watkinson, Dawn Brittin

and Keith Hale in the triples. All we need now is for the weather to play its part and a bumper season looks assured.
Tramping Club news Submitted by the Cambridge Tramping Club Cambridge trampers travelled to Highway 22, which runs parallel to State highway one between Hamilton and Bombay, recently. We passed several lakes before encountering limestone country. Down in a valley we followed a stream through riparian bush to a waterfall the rocks sculpted by water. Our next tramp is over night on October 7-8 to Crosbies Clearing near Thames. Please contact Kay on 027 693 6226 for information.

Putaruru College film competition win
Over the Moon cheese a finalist Overall winners of the 2017 PiP awards, Over the Moon Cheese are also a finalist in the NZ Food Awards with their unique Burgundy Moon. In the awards’ gourmet category there is a People’s Choice award which goes to the product with the most votes.

You can vote for your choice at www.bite.co.nz – voting closes October 12.
Burgundy Moon in storage.
A group of 12 Year 9 film students from Putaruru College have won the Best Narrative Years 7-10 category in the New Zealand Transport Agency’s Future Transport Competition 2017. The same film Hayden’s Big Adventure has won the Best Technical Award Year 7-13 at the Torrac NZ Secondary School Short Film Festival. The film has also been selected for the “Outlook for Someday” film awards. The judges were impressed with the film, which tackled a worthy topic: how driverless vehicles could lead to safer journeys, and the students earned extra credit for interviewing a local police officer. Judges also said the video felt very complete – it was current, comprehensive and entertaining. It would capture young people’s attention and was worthy of a larger audience, they added. Congratulations to Putaruru College and its strong visual language achievements.
Putaruru Primary School production Putaruru Primary School had their Senior School production, Lost in Time, at the school hall recently. Lost in Time took the audience on a musical journey through selected moments in history that originate from the bedroom of two young girls and their unsuspecting mother. This production featured many students and involved drama and dance to tell an imaginative tale. The students did their own choreography. There was musical variety for all tastes in this colourful production, and it was good to see the sparing use of microphones, which emphasised the importance of the natural dialogue which was well-handled by the large cast. From the opening strains of Going up the Country, the audience was taken from the present, back in time and finally live back to Aotearoa and reminded that “no matter if you’re near or far … we’ll fight for your freedom.”

Be a health nut
Nuts are moreish and a handful a day won’t make you fat according to the latest research from Nuts For Life Australia dietitian, Lisa Yates. The fibrous wall of nuts helps stop your body absorbing up to 20 per cent of their fat. They also send signals to the brain to suppress
hunger and make you feel fuller for longer making them the perfect pick-me-up for those four o’clock lows. Nuts are a good source of protein, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, plant omega-3s, fibre and healthy unsaturated fats — plus they
boost your metabolic rate. They have a positive impact on blood glucose and cholesterol, important for people with diabetes. However, nuts are still high in kilojoules especially when they have a sweet coating. And even though up to 15 per cent of the
energy in nuts may be excreted, nuts should be consumed in moderation. About 30 grams a day is the recommended amount to contribute to a healthy heart, lowered cholesterol and a reduced risk of coronary disease.
Gluten-Free Nut Crackers
Broccoli & Pine Nut Pesto One large bunch of parsley will produce 1 cup of chopped parsley – easily achieved in your food processor. 3 cups chopped broccoli florets 1 cup chopped parsley 1 teaspoon dried basil 5 large cloves garlic, peeled 1/4 cup each: pine nuts, extra-virgin olive oil, grated parmesan cheese flaky sea salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste Steam or microwave the broccoli, until tender but still bright green. Cool a little. Place the parsley, basil, garlic, pine nuts, olive oil, parmesan and broccoli in a food processor. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides once. Season. Serve as a dip or spread — add a little lemon juice or extra olive oil to taste — or as a sauce with pasta. If serving with pasta, thin with a little of the cooking water before tossing with the pasta. This makes enough for a sauce for 300g raw pasta. Makes 1 1/2 cups.
These delicate crackers are best stored in the fridge. They may be crisped by reheating in the oven. 2 cups (300g) mixed nuts eg cashews, almonds, hazelnuts 1 large egg 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt Topping: flaky sea salt, sesame seeds, nigella seeds or a combo Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line two baking trays with baking paper. Place the nuts, egg and salt in a food processor or blender. Whizz until very fine. A little oil comes out of the nuts. This will help make a stiff paste.
Gluten-Free Granola
Divide the dough into two and place directly on the baking paper. Roll out into 2 rectangles about 2-3mm thick. Trim the edges.
I used mixed nuts from the bulk bin aisle of my local supermarket. 3 cups mixed nuts eg almonds, cashews, hazelnuts, Brazil nuts 2/3 cup each: desiccated coconut, mixed dried fruit eg cranberries, apricots, pitted dates 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds 2 tablespoons each: liquid honey, maple syrup 1 tablespoon vanilla essence Preheat the oven to 160°C. Place 2 1/2 cups of the nuts in a food processor together with the coconut and dried fruit. Pulse until the mixture is chopped into medium-sized pieces. Some will be finer but that’s okay. Place in a large bowl. Add the remaining whole nuts and the remaining ingredients. Large Brazil nuts may need to be chopped. Mix well. Line a large baking pan with baking paper. Add the mixture and spread it out evenly. Bake for about 40-45 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes — until dark golden brown. Cool completely. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Makes about 6 cups.
Cut into slices or squares with a sharp knife. Spray with a little water then sprinkle with the salt and seeds. Bake for about 10 minutes, until golden. Cool then store in an airtight container. Great served with spreads or as a snack. Makes about 25.

Cambridge Cubs’ Arapuni adventure The Cambridge Cubs went on an overnight adventure recently. Thirty cubs from both Cambridge groups, leaders and parents stayed at the Arapuni Hall and did lots of activities in the area. On Saturday, they walked a 9km return trip from Arapuni Village to Jones’ landing. The eagerness of the cubs was amazing and even the weather behaved itself. The highlight was the walk across the Arapuni Suspension bridge
overlooking the power station. Even after all that they were still not tired, so when it got dark the cubs enjoyed a game of spotlight. On Sunday, the cubs walked around Arapuni Village in small groups searching for answers to clues about different things in and around the village. We received lots of feedback about a very enjoyable weekend as well as reports that most of the cubs were early to bed on Sunday night.

Busy term for Horahora Supplied by Horahora School It’s been all go at Horahora School this term with their production and a camp for the whole school all happening within the space of two weeks. First, came their production, “Sweet As”. This was a New Zealandwritten production about a group of students from the future, venturing back through time, visiting significant parts of New
Zealand history to try to find out what makes a Kiwi, a Kiwi. Every child in the school had a speaking part and learned much about New Zealand’s history as part of the production. It was also full of catchy songs that have become favourites with the children. Performance night saw a lot of excited and nervous children, but everyone did really well. It was a great
night enjoyed by a packed hall of proud parents, whānau, friends and wider family. Just a week later, the whole school went off for an action-packed 3-day camp. We spent two days learning to ski on the Whakapapa Ski field at Mt Ruapehu. By the end of that time, most were zooming down the slopes with ease. On the second day, some
fished for, and learnt about trout at the Turangi Trout Centre instead of skiing. The final day was spent at the Waiouru War Memorial Museum, taking part in their educational programmes. First the students took part in a remembrance ceremony at the Wall of Tears, reciting the Ode of Remembrance, and laying a poppy, and then they were taken on a guided tour of the museum. After that, they were taken outside to experience cooking soldier style. In a cold, bare building, they
were given a soldier’s daily ration pack, a small camp stove, and cooking utensils. In groups of five, they then had to cook and eat what they found in the ration pack. The chocolate bar was voted the most popular food by the children, though they also had noodles, chicken casserole, crackers and cheese, biscuits and other items. It was a fun-filled activity enjoyed by everyone. Then tired but happy, it was back to school for a well-earned rest.

Consultation opens on 110 km/h proposal The NZ Transport Agency is inviting people to have their say on a proposal to introduce 110 km/h speed limits on the tolled section of the Tauranga Eastern Link Toll Road (SH2) and on the Cambridge section of the Waikato Expressway (SH1). Over the coming month, the Transport Agency will engage with stakeholders, road users and the local community on the proposed new 110km/h limit. The Transport Agency’s Director Safety and Environment, Harry Wilson, says people can provide their feedback through the NZ Transport Agency website, via email or by post. “It’s important that people have the opportunity to provide feedback, and all of the input we get from stakeholders, road users and the community will be considered before a final decision is made.” Mr Wilson says these two roads have been selected first because they are some of the best in New Zealand. “The speed limit will only be increased to 110km/h on roads which can support higher travel speeds without compromising safety.
“Both the Tauranga Eastern Link Toll Road and the Cambridge section of the Waikato Expressway have been designed and will be maintained and operated to the necessary standards to safely support 110km/h travel speeds,” Mr Wilson says. If implemented, the new speed limit will be in operation on the tolled section of the Tauranga Eastern Link and the Cambridge section of the Waikato Expressway before the end of this year. Any additional roads being considered for the 110km/h speed limit will also require consultation with local stakeholders, road users and the community. Other roads that will be considered in the future include the additional sections of the Waikato Expressway (SH1), the Upper Harbour Highway (SH18) in Auckland and Kapiti Expressway (SH1) near Wellington. Submissions can be made via the Transport Agency website (www.nzta. govt.nz), by emailing 110speedlimit@ nzta.govt.nz, or by post. Submissions close 5pm Wednesday 26 October 2017.

In the city of Istanbul, there are more than just human inhabitants. There are also the stray domestic cats of the city who live free but have complicated relationships with the people themselves. This film follows a selection of individual cats as they live their own lives in Istanbul with their own distinctive personalities. However, with this vibrant population, is the reality of an ancient metropolis changing with the times that may have less of a place for them. An adorable, calm, thoughtful and all-embracing experience, Kedi is quite unlike anything else you will see in 2017. A ‘meow-sterpiece’, no less.
The battle for Ninjago City calls to action young Master Builder Lloyd, aka the Green Ninja, along with his friends, who are all secret ninja warriors. Led by Master Wu, as wise-cracking as he is wise, they must defeat evil warlord Garmadon, The Worst Guy Ever, who also happens to be Lloyd's dad.

A terrifyingly brilliant thriller, creepy, disturbing and humorous at times. IT really possesses the creep factor, giving audiences a new reason to fear clowns. Great acting from everyone as well as excellent writing make this movie a must-watch about bullying and camaraderie. For mature persons.
The new film of the very entertaining TRUE story has received incredibly positive reviews: “Everything about this film is winning and gratifying.” “A joy to watch.” “Powerful and poignant.” “A spirited, frequently funny drama.”
