Is it too late to be good?...

Santa’s parade got the double thumbs up on Sunday.

Photo by Michael Jeans

Crowds of excited children and their families lined Victoria St on Sunday for the annual Cambridge New World Christmas Parade.

Classic cars, colourful floats and people on scooters wove their way through town, waving and smiling at onlookers, reminding everyone that Christmas is just around the corner. The Raleigh St Christian Centre took out the prize for the overall winner, but the star of the show was undoubtedly the jolly fat man in red. Dylan Philip (pictured left), was a last-minute addition to Santa’s float prompting a mad-dash back to town from Whakatāne with his family. Judging by the grin on his face, it was worth it. Nicola McKenzie from Cambridge New World said they were thrilled with the number of floats and the huge turnout this year. She said they felt for Santa in his suit, providing him with an umbrella to shade him from the sun after he suffered last year. “There was a really neat turnout of kids into the Town Hall afterwards to have their pictures taken on Santa’s knee,” Nicola said. Cambridge New World pays for the costs of the parade and is also responsible for Santa’s float.

Tower trouble sparks meeting

Cambridge newsroom update

By Sophie Iremonger

It’s been nice this week to have a change from complaining about the rain to complaining about the heat – good to mix things up a bit. I always find this time of year puts me in a reflective mood, and I was thinking that a lot of people I know, myself included, will be missing people around their Christmas table this year. In my case, this is a very good thing – I would struggle to brake for him at a pedestrian crossing – but for many other people it is going to be their first Christmas minus a loved one. And that’s hard. The first milestones are always difficult, and Christmas can often highlight the gap that departed loved ones have left. Also, it’s quite likely that a lot of the people missing this year were not aware that 2016 would be their last Christmas. Before anyone worries that I have missed the point of Christmas and that Jesus is for all year round, or that I’m clinically depressed and need help, what I’m getting at here is that it’s a good reminder to have a ball this Christmas. Hug your loved ones extra tight, eat the trifle and swim in the pool with your kids (yes, even if you hate how you look in togs). Remember to get photos with the kids, especially if you’re a mum.

Mums often are the ones taking the photos, but we really should be in them more. And if Christmas feels like it’s in the too hard basket, you are allowed to ignore it, or you can head down to Nga Hau E Wha – the Cambridge Community Marae – for their annual Christmas lunch. Whatever you need to do, just do that.

Backlash to the new cell phone tower in Kings Garden continues as Spark confirmed on Tuesday that they are, “currently working with the Waipa District Council and there is a meeting later this week.”

“At this point, we don’t have any further to comment to make,” said Spark’s communications advisor Chloe Ferrand.

Waipa District Council’s Planning and Community Relations Group Manager David Hall confirmed he spoke with Spark on Friday about the matter, communicating council’s hopes that the tower could be moved from its current position on the corner of Madison St and Watkins Rd. “We’ve had the discussion with Spark and their indication is that they’re not inclined to move it,” Hall said, adding that Spark intended to paint the tower, possibly a shade of green, to improve its visual appeal.

“There’s not a lot we can do from a regulatory perspective,” said Hall, who thought the tower was placed in a “very disappointing” location.

Hall confirmed that Waipa District Council has offered to work with Spark to find a more suitable place for the tower in the same area, but Spark told them that moving it was not part of their planning.

Perhaps that could be reconsidered at their meeting this week – watch this space as the story develops.

The Prime Minister announced this week that from 2018, new tertiary students (or those with less than six months of study) will be able to receive their first year of tertiary education free. We asked locals what they think.

Solution sought to road closures

Quickfire News Virtual reality driver app

In what’s been described as a ‘world-first in driver education’, ACC and the NZ Transport Agency have launched a virtual reality (VR) experience to prepare young drivers for practical tests. The VR experience is an interactive drive through real New Zealand streets to help users spot hazards, check blind spots, and use mirrors — all from a virtual driver’s seat. While nothing will replace real-life practice, the VR experience will help young people practice their observation skills, hopefully giving them more confidence behind the wheel. For a more immersive experience, the Drive programme is giving away Google Cardboard VR headsets to drivers who sign up at drive. govt.nz.

The free app is now available on iOS and Android. * * * *

Sprinkler restrictions now in place Local retailers are keen to work with council to minimise the impact of road closures on their businesses.

By Claire Castle

The sun shone brightly on the Cambridge New World Christmas Parade, with crowds flocking to enjoy the annual spectacle. While the event was a chance to get into the Christmas spirit, the way the road closures in town were handled has left some local retailers unimpressed.

While the council had agreed to road closures starting at noon, local retailer Hamish Wright

from Paper Plus said the road was effectively closed from 11am, preventing would-be Christmas shoppers from parking in the main street.

Cambridge i-SITE’s chief executive Roger Gordon said the traffic management company, Safe Traffic Management Services (STMS), followed the same procedures as they have done for more than 10 years. “From just before 11am they began to put up notices and place cones by the side of the

Vote for Pound Hounds Rescue

Local rescue organisation Pound Hounds would like your vote in Masterpet’s annual ‘Santa’s Elves’ competition. They are in the running to become one of 10 registered charities to win a Santa Sack full of Masterpet goodies worth $4,000.

Local organiser Rachel Haakma said if they win they will be sharing the prize around with other pounds – “it’s not just for our ‘kids’ she said.

“We’re up against some big names in the rescue world, so would love all the help we can get. This would be a pretty big deal for us to win,” Rachel added.

road,” in anticipation of the noon closure, Roger said. “At about 11.45am the cones are placed out on one half of the road to begin management of the closure…It is not practical to have management of the closure to begin on the stroke of 12.00,” he said.

Hamish said that whether the cones and notices were put up beside the road or not, their presence meant people thought the road was closed. “It looked like the road was closed,” he said.

Far from being opposed to the parade, Hamish said the bookshop has been a supporter of it for many years, but he would like to see more reciprocal support from organisers toward affected businesses.

Councillor Sue Milner sided with the retailers, unimpressed that the road was effectively closed early, depriving them of pre-Christmas custom. Cr Milner said some retailers had opted not to open at all on Sunday, and that “you could have fired a gun down the main street and not hit anyone” after 11am. “It’s not fair to any

sale

of these retailers, they’ve got to make a living,” she added, calling the road management for Sunday’s parade an “overkill”.

Roger Gordon said, “I wonder if we should stop doing the Christmas Parade if that’s what they are thinking.”

North Island operations manager for STMS, Reg Rouse, said that every year or two there are a small number of complaints from disgruntled retailers.

“If one person is upset compared with hundreds of people enjoying it (the parade), it’s not bad odds,” he said.

Reg added that STMS always adheres to the approved traffic management plan and that if they didn’t, council would come down on them “like a ton of bricks.”

Hamish attended this week’s Cambridge Community Board meeting on Wednesday night to suggest some solutions, including the possibility of moving the parade to 4pm when it would be slightly cooler and road closures would have less impact on retailers.

Waipa, Hamilton, and Waikato are now all on Water Alert Level 1. The move to Water Alert Level 1 was triggered by a significant increase in water consumption across the region. Water Alert Level 1 means using a sprinkler between 6am to 8am and 6pm to 8pm or hand-held hosing at any time.

Waipa District Council Water Services Manager Tony Hale said it was unusual to see water usage peak so early in the season.

“We have been monitoring the district’s water usage closely over the past few weeks and have seen a significant increase in usage as the sun has come out. In the past two weeks Waipa’s water use has increased from 187 to 203 million litres, up 14 million litres from the same time last year.”

Impending wastewater upgrade

Waipa District Council are starting work on an eight-monthlong project to upgrade Cambridge’s wastewater infrastructure.

Wastewater from residential properties north of the Waikato River is piped across the river to council’s treatment plant on the Leamington side of town. This pipe is 450mm in diameter and is not big enough to cater for present and projected future growth in Cambridge.

Work starts in January to upgrade the existing pipe and replace the pipe bridge. Work includes increasing the size of the main pipe, replacing the pipe bridge and stabilising the foundations and river bank to bring the whole structure up to modern standards, including earthquake resistant.

Group Manager Service Delivery, Barry Bergin said with 7,000 more people expected in Cambridge over the next 10 years, the project was a priority for council.

During the project there will be a diversion in place for the Te Awa Cycleway near the Gaslight Theatre, this will be clearly signposted. Access to the Gaslight Theatre and Riding for the Disabled will be maintained at all times.

Work will be done from Monday to Friday, 7am-sunset and on some Saturdays from 8am-4pm. No work will be undertaken on Sundays. * * * *

In Freda’s name

By Claire Castle

A man awarded $10,000 by the Disputes Tribunal over the care his mother, Freda, received at Bupa St Kilda in Cambridge has donated the entire amount to set up a fund to help others take similar action.

The Freda Love fund, set up by Consumer NZ, will help consumers with the financial support the need

to meet the costs of filing a claim in the tribunal, said Consumer NZ chief executive, Sue Chetwin.

Mr Love said that he took the case to the Disputes Tribunal as a last resort, after he felt that complaints to health watchdogs had gone unheeded.

“I want the fund to show people in similar situations there is something you can do that has a meaningful

The late Freda Love with her sons Robert (behind) and the late Crispin.

outcome,” he said.

Mr Love paid an extra $52 per night for a ‘premium room’ at Bupa St Kilda, however the tribunal found that Bupa fell short of the expected standard of care and ordered them to refund the $8,112 in premium fees, and $850 as part cost for a fan, dehumidifier and air conditioning unit Mr Love had installed in the room. He also received just over $1000 for the cost of travel incurred as he needed to take a “more active” role in his mother’s day-to-day care due to issues with the home, bringing the total to $10,000.

“Just like any other trader, rest homes are obligated under consumer law to provide services with reasonable care and skill. If they don’t, and that failure results in you being left out of pocket, then you have grounds to take the case to the tribunal,” Ms Chetwin said.

Ms 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.

Freda, a long-time Cambridge resident and active member in the community was a resident in the Cambridge home for 156 days last year, and died in hospital in February.

ELEGANCE AND PRESENCE!

Local named as 2018 Ambassador Chef A local chef has been named as one of NZ Beef & Lamb’s Ambassador Chefs for 2018.

Harry Williams, head chef at Alpha Street Kitchen, was awarded the title on Tuesday as part of the 2018 Beef and Lamb Excellence Awards.

Alpha Street Kitchen was none of 170 restaurants to receive a 2018 Excellence Award, and Williams was just one of five people in the country to be made an Ambassador Chef.

He joins the ranks of eight lifetime Platinum Ambassador Chefs who together will work on behalf of Beef + Lamb New Zealand to pass on their skills to the wider industry.

Alpha Street Kitchen was also awarded a gold plate after Harry Williams, 2018 Williams’ dish was Ambassador Chef for NZ judged anonymously Beef & Lamb. by culinary trained assessors who were scouting restaurants serving the best beef and lamb dishes.

“The beef dish tried by the assessors was eye fillet, wakame salad, okonomiyaki, kina butter, edamame,” the judges’ comments read. “The beef was simply superb; it was cooked perfectly to medium rare and like candy floss to eat. It had been well rested and was flavoursome. The earthy flavours of the seaweed and edamame beans matched the robustness of the kina butter. The okonomiyaki was an unexpected addition and worked very well alongside the beef.

This dish showed innovation and flair and was beautifully presented. Overall an outstanding dish and very worthy of receiving and Excellence Award.”

Concerns aired at CCO meeting

By Sophie Iremonger

Five verbal submissions were made to a panel of Waipa and Hamilton City councillors at a public meeting last week to conclude the feedback process for a proposed council-controlled organisation (CCO) providing water, waste water and storm water services for the two

districts.

The CCO would be non-asset owning and council-owned, with all major decisions and finances kept separate. Seventytwo written submissions were received over the previous month, 33 percent in favour and 61 percent opposing, with the balance just commenting and not expressing a preference either

Katherine Pioletti voiced concerns about the CCO at Friday’s public meeting.

way.

Five of those submitters opted to share their comments verbally at the meeting on Friday. With three of them initially absent as the meeting got underway, representatives from the Purekireki Marae Trust spoke first. “Where’s the evidence that you’ve had conversation with tangata whenua?” Mihirawhutu Searancke said, later adding the need for water quality to be maintained, and confirming they would like to see Māori represented.

Kerry Thomas and Jacqui Hahn appeared on behalf of Federated Farmers to voice their concerns regarding ratepayer involvement in the CCO, citing the case of a CCO in Northland earlier this year.

Katherine Pioletti, speaking on behalf of the Maniapoto Hapu Rangatira, said they oppose the CCO, “mainly because it breaches our constitutional rights to water, we haven’t been consulted with,” she said. “During the land wars we had land confiscated… we used to be self-governing in our area… we didn’t sell our rights to water, and you want me to pay for water… there’s nothing in the Treaty about having a corporation run our water.

“When you take our water that was a gift from the Gods to

us, and profiteer and put it into a market system… you’ve got state capture there.

“We see this as treason via corporate governance and rule against the Queen and Nga Hapu o Nu Tireni. We ask the submission hearing panel to stand down due to conflicts of interest, where the councils are the applicants and judge.

We have no faith in the process to protect our God given birth rights and treaty rights,” said Pioletti.

There was a moment of silence from the panel before chair

David Winder said, “Well I must say I’ve never been accused of treason before.”

“These grievances are not relating to this process,” Waipa Mayor Jim Mylchreest said. “A lot of them don’t relate to the shared waters management company… issues around the treaty are not relating to this.”

All submissions will be recommended to the full councils of Waipa District and Hamilton City on December 19 and December 12, respectively.

A final decision will be made before Christmas.

Come one, come all

The call has gone out for volunteers to help at this year’s community Christmas lunch at Nga Hau E Wha, Cambridge Community Marae in Leamington.

The annual event, which is into its eighth year, attracted more than 220 diners last year and marae chairperson Vinnie Simmonds said it’s only going to get bigger. Vinnie said the event is aimed at people who are new to Cambridge, who might be alone on Christmas Day or who are struggling to afford the traditional Christmas fare. Everyone is welcome, he said, adding that it is crucial that people planning on coming RSVP

by December 18, so organisers can ensure there is enough food.

The Lions, Rotary and other businesses get behind the event, as do people from the community who give their time to volunteer, Vinnie said.

People interested in volunteering can come to the marae on Sunday at 3.30pm to find out more, and those wanting to enjoy festivities on the day should visit www.cambridgemarae.org to RSVP, or phone Vinnie on 021 704 012.

St Stephen’s Christmas Festival could be last

By Sophie Iremonger

St Stephen’s Church Hall in Tamahere is decked to the nines in the Christmas spirit this week as they celebrate their annual Christmas Festival, running each day up to December 16. But this could be the last year, as volunteers are struggling to find people to keep it going.

Christine and Rex Pickering, who died this year and last year respectively, started

the event back in 1986, welcoming a group of women to make homemade goods in their barn, later dubbed “The Barn Girls”.

“Christine taught us so much, she made us more talented people,” said one of the volunteer organisers, Bev Greene.

“This is the end of an era.

We’re packing up for good this year because we’re all getting older and we don’t have the younger ones coming through helping us… we would love to see

younger people take this on, so it can continue with the next generation.

“Some of the newer girls in our group want to keep going, but they need more people, and they welcome new people,” said Bev, encouraging anyone interested to get in touch with the church. Volunteers don’t have to be members of the church, just anyone who enjoys craft.

Crafts on sale in the shop this year range from Christmas decorations and floral decorations,

through to beautiful home décor pieces and men’s and children’s gifts. “It’s a hive of activity,” said Bev, describing the set-up of the Christmas Festival. “But it’s really old fashioned, there’s no commercialism, we don’t do Santa. It’s purely all the nativity scene.”

Volunteers have been working since October to create the many Christmas gifts and decorations displayed throughout the hall, all of which will generate proceeds toward

local charities.

Around $20,000 is raised each year – during Saturday’s Twilight Market the Christmas shop made $5,500 just in that afternoon.

Organisers hope younger volunteers will sign up to help make next year’s festival possible and keep the 30-year tradition alive.

To find out more about the festival phone the church on 07 856 2937 or email office@ ststephenstamahere.org. nz.

Kiwi Outreach helps with high school

By Sophie Iremonger

Cambridge charity Kiwi Outreach is extending a helping hand to local families by supporting students with their education expenses at Cambridge High School.

The organisation – which helps struggling Cambridge families with “the basics”, such as whiteware, vacuum cleaners and other small items, as well as helping to arrange gifts for children during Christmas – has set up their Child Sponsorship programme to help local students right through their secondary schooling. It covers costs such as school uniforms, PE uniforms and equipment, a laptop, trips and other educational needs, right through every year at high school.

“We all know how expensive schooling can be, we know it and the lovely people who support us know it,” said Paul Scoble, founder and chairperson of the organisation. “But we go further than that. We work within the family through those years too, offering support and friendship.”

Kiwi Outreach also offers funding advice and other support services through their partnership with Cambridge House. Presently Kiwi Outreach supports four students but is in the position to sponsor two more beginning 2018.

Jacob, a local student starting Cambridge High School next year, was recently selected as a recipient of the Child Sponsorship programme.

His mum Erica said they were “absolutely forever grateful” for the support, and Jacob looks forward to beginning his studies at Cambridge High. Currently he’s supported by Kiwi Outreach to attend guitar lessons at Cambridge Middle School.

Paul Scoble said families hoping to receive educational support for their child attending Cambridge High School can get in touch with Kiwi Outreach to make an application. Just visit the website www.kiwioutreach.org.nz to find out more.

“As long as they meet the criteria, as long as it’s genuine, we’re there,” said Paul.

Billboards spread the word

Thanks to the generous support of the local community, Kiwi Outreach has a track record of charitable success, so far never having to turn a person down due to a lack of funds.

This week Kiwi Outreach purchased a much-needed laptop for Jacob (right) to use during his schooling at Cambridge High School. Left: Kiwi Outreach founder and chairperson Paul Scoble.

New billboards around town are spreading the message the family violence is not OK. The billboards have just gone up near the high-level bridge, at Memorial Park,

Volunteers spreading joy

By Steph Bell-Jenkins

Dozens of Waikato children facing a tough festive season will get a cheerful homemade card on Christmas Day thanks to Cambridge volunteer organisation Act of Kindness.

AOK’s Christmas Cards

for Kids morning drew 40 local children to the local Scout Hall on Saturday, where they each decorated two cards and wrote heartfelt messages to children in need.

“I want my children to learn about being compassionate and giving of their time and I just

love the whole idea of it all,” said Cambridge photographer Sheree Kershaw, who brought her two boys along.

“I think Rebecca’s doing an amazing job of her Act of Kindness activities she’s doing around the place. I want to get more and more involved.”

Play therapists will hand out 50 cards to children in Waikato Hospital’s paediatric wards and the remaining 30 will go to Women’s Refuge.

“I think for children during the Christmas period to take half an hour out of their day to do this for other kids is very special,” said organiser Rebecca Broadbent, who had tears in her eyes as she spoke about the challenge of figuring out what to write inside the cards.

“It gets really emotional.

You can’t write ‘hope you have a great time at the beach’ or ‘hope you get lots of presents from Santa’.

“Hopefully it puts a bit of perspective on the holiday season for children – and their parents too.”

Local mother Cathy Glasson said her four children had really enjoyed the morning.

“I saw the advertisement on Facebook and they all like making crafty things anyway, so I thought it

would be a really cool idea to stop and think about other people who maybe aren’t in the coolest place this year and make them feel a bit happier knowing people want to spend some time doing this for them,” she said.

Rebecca thanked Countdown supermarket, which donated candy canes to tape inside the cards, and the Warehouse, which gave craft supplies, for their generous support of the event.

Leamington School teacher Alison Fitzsimons was browsing Facebook in October when an advertisement popped up that changed her life.

It was for a 12-month teaching contract at Halfmoon Bay School on Stewart Island.

“I wasn’t looking for a job – I was quite happy at Leamington – but I just saw it and my husband Paul and I talked about it and thought it was a good idea,” Alison said.

“We just thought wow, how cool would it be to go and do something different? We travelled quite a lot in our twenties and have been pretty much back in New Zealand in our thirties, and we thought why not do something with our kids? And none of us have been to Stewart Island before. So, I applied for it and got it.”

Now the couple and their children Ryan (12), Aoife (9) and Fionn (8) are preparing to chuck in life as they know it and move to one of New Zealand’s most remote places.

Stewart Island is located 30km south of the South Island across Foveaux straight, with more than 80 per cent of its 1746 square kilometres set aside as a national park.

“The island has a population of about 380 and there’s only one shop,” Alison said.

“We’re not taking a car because there’s only 30km of road there in total, so there’s not really much point.”

The family will live in a school house in the tiny settlement of Oban on the island’s eastern side.

“The kids are really excited about being able to walk to school and go to the library by themselves and go to the beach every day,” Alison said. “The school is right

opposite the beach. And we’ll be able to hear kiwi from our house at night apparently.”

The “simpler, slower lifestyle in rhythm with the sea and the tides, attuned to the natural world of bush and beach” promoted on the Stewart Island website has huge appeal to Alison and Paul.

“One of the comments the principal there made was ‘we don’t have wet lunchtimes, the kids have all got raincoats’ and that’s just great,” Alison said.

“This experience is

actually just to go out and let our kids live life and explore a different part of New Zealand that’s unique and beautiful.

“It’s kind of about getting back to nature and letting the kids be kids for another 12 months.

We’re looking forward to exploring the island and the lower South Island, eating blue cod, crayfish and paua and maybe trying some mutton bird.”

The family will leave in mid-January and be back next year in time for Ryan to start at Cambridge High School.

Fionn (8), Ryan (12) and Aoife (9) will be spending the next year with their parents experiencing life on Stewart Island

Letters to the Editor Children’s Athletics Champion

I had the opportunity recently to attend the children’s athletics evening, which is held every Wednesday evening through summer. Thinking it would just involve a number of sprint races and the odd field event for my younger grandchildren, but this was not the case. What a surprise I got, it was much more than that.

Credit goes to the young gentleman who was the organiser of the various challenging and fun activities. Being a spectator, I observed this volunteer running from one activity to another demonstrating these activities to the children and then herding each age group to their next activity where a demonstration would be needed again and again. This chap definitely deserves an award for his effort alone. It did not go unnoticed. Well done to him, keep up the good work.

Robyn Langsford

Cell phone tower

I’m shocked. The cell phone tower erected out of the blue in Cambridge East is a hideous eyesore.

It could and should and have been easily located elsewhere and yet still be just as effective for purpose.

My questions are: 1] Where is our protection as ratepayers of Cambridge from the council in this matter?

2] If council argues they had no knowledge of it prior- how so?

3] If council answers it was okayed via the central government – then why haven’t the council protected local ratepayers in that matter to the central government?

4] What actions will the Cambridge Community Board take in this matter?

5] What are our local councillors going to do about it?

6] Has the council CEO left his desk to have a look at it?

7] Ditto the appropriate extremely highly ratepayer paid heads of departments?

8] Who is liable now for the degradation of property values in the area?

9] Who is liable for the negative health aspects of the tower?

This is an outrage and frankly as ratepayers we expect better protection from our council. (abridged) Mark Nogaj

Tamahere pool

I was interested in your article about the Tamahere school baths. I was a pupil there when the first pool was hand dug by volunteers and I suspect that families donated any odd bags of cement which they happened to have about the farm as it was war time and little cement was available. It must have been about 1942. I would have been aged 5 years going on 6. I The pool was very basic but adequate and we had lovely times in it.

I have long thought that those hard-working men had a lot of foresight to do that for their children in those dire times.

I also liked the title of the recipe book, naming it indirectly after Devine Rd which ran down to the head teacher’s house and the Devine Family who no doubt donated the land.

A very nice play on words.

Anne Whyte

Council response from David Hall, Deputy CEO and Group Manager Planning and Community Relations Council agree given the recent concerns expressed by the community that the location of the cell phone tower is not ideal in its current location and are looking at a number of other locations and options to convince Spark there is a better solution.

Resource consent for the tower was granted in 2013, the location was chosen by Spark because it addresses ‘black spots’ in Cambridge North. Following consultation, no objection was raised by the adjoining landowners.

Since consent was granted, The National Environmental Standard (set by national government) allows cell phone towers as a permitted activity up to 3.5m above the height of existing light poles. This means Council do not legally have a say in where they go, disputes and questions about the nature of the tower should be addressed to Spark.

Council, including local Councillors and the Chief Executive are not happy with the location of the tower, while Spark has no obligation to move it Council are strongly advocating for them to do so.

Staff are working to find an alternative suitable location for the tower and will be presenting these options to Spark at a meeting this week.

Council will provide an update following its meeting with Spark.

Rouge Café changes hands New adventures are beckoning for Cambridge’s Alana and Phil MacKay as the ink dries on the sale of Rouge Café.

By Viv Posselt The MacKays are widely regarded as being among the town’s young power couples. Even as they toiled tirelessly over the past eight plus years to build Rouge from

zero to hero, they also redirected a respectable slice of their profits back into the community and embroiled themselves in business and civic affairs.

Phil is currently president of the

There is much to smile about as Phil MacKay ponders a post-Rouge future for he and his wife, Alana.

Cambridge Chamber of Commerce, and says the sale of Rouge won’t impact his role.

“I remain committed to Cambridge and the Chamber of Commerce,” he said. “I may just have to join under a new company when I work out what my next adventure looks like.

Right now, there isn’t a Plan B … but I have every intention of retaining my membership.”

Conversations around selling have been ongoing for a while, he explained, really because both he and Alana think that eight and a half years running a business is a long time, particularly in the hospitality game.

It has demanded a lot of them – years of early starts in a seven-day operation, with days off seldom coinciding and shared holidays a treasured rarity.

They will remain at Rouge until Christmas, ensuring that new owner James Zheng and his

Summer Jandals in store now

crew will have a solid start to their tenure, then it’s off to Taupo for a well-earned short break before coming back to regroup.

“Cambridge is where we want to be. I have a number of ideas floating around, but we haven’t committed to anything yet,” he said. “Right now, it might be nice to just spend some quality time together!”

Phil started in hospitality after a university stint working in a Hamilton eatery played Cupid with his career choice. He dropped out of doing a degree in electronic commerce and headed for the hospitality world fulltime. Meanwhile, he and future wife Alana McCathie were tripping to and from her home in Cambridge, enjoying the village vibe and assessing the potential to make something work for them locally.

In the end, they brought Alana’s event

management skills and Phil’s experience together when they opened Rouge Café in June 2009, taking over an Empire St building which had previously housed a hairdressing salon.

Helping them along the way were Alana’s parents and brother.

It was clearly a winning combination. Both Rouge and the MacKays went on to win a swathe of awards over the years, some of which were linked to their determination to hold fast to a model that embraced organic and free-range products and practices.

Their sustainability focus led them to linking up with Conscious Consumers, a New Zealand social enterprise that connects consumers and businesses and helps them promote sustainability practices.

Described as an “ethical retailer champion”, Conscious Consumers has just attracted $2 million in investment for

their upcoming launch in the United Kingdom.

It is said to be one of the biggest capital raises for social enterprises in New Zealand’s history.

The programme has 500 retailers signed up.

Teaming up with Conscious Consumers almost five years ago seemed a natural extension of what Phil and Alana were already doing at Rouge. Phil said the organisation has given them advice and feedback in their own sustainability journey, and provided markers along the way through its certification process.

“We have found it very helpful. It has also linked us to suppliers who are committed to similar values, and defined pathways for our progress.”

For now, however, there’s a holiday looming and then a deliciously blank canvas entitled ‘Our Future’, with the MacKays’ name on it.

Cancer rehab now in Cambridge

By Sophie Iremonger

Specialised cancer rehabilitation therapy is now available to those in Cambridge thanks to a scholarship awarded by the PINC & STEEL Cancer International to local physiotherapist Megan Drummond (pictured) of Body Performance Clinic.

PINC & STEEL Cancer Rehabilitation was founded on the basis of developing a worldclass program for cancer survivorship, which is committed to supporting people affected by any type of cancer through all stages of their treatment and recovery.

“It’s such a good service, and there’s no one else here in Cambridge that provides this service.

Previously people had to travel through to Hamilton. I was awarded a ‘rural’ scholarship to help bring the service to the Cambridge Community,” said Megan, who completed her study last month.

“There’s so much we can assist cancer patients with. We’re here to support them along that journey,” she said.

“The good thing about PINC rehabilitation is it can assist people with any type of cancer.

Rehabilitation can be at any time during the treatment process; after surgery, whilst undergoing chemo, radiation or hormone treatment, and at any point after medical treatment has finished”.

The advantage of the cancer rehabilitation treatment Megan now offers clients is in her specialised knowledge of the different types of cancer, their treatments and the side effects. PINC treatment sessions include musculoskeletal and functional assessment, hands on treatment including mobilisation, soft tissue massage, scar management, breathing technique education, pelvic floor retraining, relaxation,

Megan said she looks forward to guiding those in Cambridge through their cancer journey and making the rough road a little smoother. “It’s really rewarding when people come through the door and they’re not able to do things they enjoy, and we work together to get them back to doing what they love.

What influences the rate of inflation?

1. When there is more demand for goods than supply, prices increase.

Examples a. Oil prices in the 1970’s and 1980’s b. Import restrictions in pre 1980’s New Zealand c. House prices d. Strawberries at Christmas e. Flowers on Valentines Day 2.

Availability of labour supply can affect wages/incomes and flows through to prices.

3.

Technological innovations providing services at little additional cost, bringing prices down.

4.

The Cambridge Cup Race Night did not disappoint, especially for Florence Monson (pictured) who walked away with over $1200 – of ‘funny money’ that is – which she was traded for an enormous block of chocolate.

Cambridge Cup race night was made up of six toy horses and some dice.

Our events are held at the clubhouse on Taylor St, and we have to make a special mention to them for the extra efforts they made to ensure we had an amazing night. Home-baked and iced cookies, all with race numbers as well as nibbles on arrival, adding to the elegance and fun of the festivities on the night.

The Cambridge Women’s Club is a social group, perfect for women of all ages, new to town wanting to meet friends or long-term residents looking for an enjoyable night out. We meet monthly over a meal and drink and there is always added entertainment.

What is deflation?

This is when prices go backwards, (inflation is less than 0%) and is generally regarded as a negative, as it increases the real value of any debt that people hold.

New Zealand had deflation in the 1930’s and in 1946.

What is the outlook for inflation?

The 10 year forecasts vary at between 1.40% pa (NZ Bond market forecast) and 2.0% pa (Farrelly’s research).

Why does this matter in your financial planning?

It is important to be aware of what the forecasts for inflation are, as well as the existing rate, as inflation affects the purchasing power of your money (investments, insurance payouts).

Monday November 27 Two females shoplifted from Liquorland on Victoria St, taking over $90 worth of alcohol. One female attempted to pay while the other left with the alcohol.

The bankcard declined, and the female left the store to get the other female’s bankcard and never returned.

CCTV is available.

Tuesday November 28 A vehicle collision occurred at the Clare and Grey St intersection. The vehicle failed to see the give-way sign on Clare St and crashed into another vehicle travelling on Grey St which then crashed into a stationery vehicle. There was minor damage to all vehicles and no injuries.

Wednesday November 29 – Friday December 1 A wilful damage by fire incident has occurred at Cambridge Middle School where burn marks have been discovered on the carpet area outside one of the classrooms.

Police were called to the Countdown carpark in relation to occupants of a vehicle harassing shoppers for money. The vehicle and occupants were not from Cambridge and politely told by Police to leave.

A Police pursuit occurred on Hamilton Rd chasing a black Harley Davidson. The pursuit was abandoned

by Police to ensure public safety due to the excessive speed of the motorcycle.

Thursday November 30 At around 3pm two male offenders have stolen a vacuum and accessories from Noel Leeming on Duke St. The store alarm did not go off when the offenders left the store. CCTV is available.

Friday December 1 Police received reports that people were being chased down Scott and Cresswell Sts with a baseball bat.

Police attended immediately and searched the area but nothing suspicious was found.

Police were called after a driver crashed her vehicle into the barriers at the Countdown carpark. Police performed an alcohol breath test which showed a result of 1350mgms. The limit for any driver over the age of 20 is 250mgms.

Saturday December 2 A vehicle parked on the corner of Hallys Lane and Victoria St was wilfully damaged overnight. The victim awoke to find the front end of the vehicle damaged and the front bumper no longer intact.

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

Insurance premiums generally increase each year with the rate of inflation (but you can opt out of the increase), to ensure that your levels of cover are keeping up with price increases.

If you are working with a financial planner, they will keep you up to date with how your financial arrangements are working, when taking into account the inflation situation.

Can collection for Cambridge families

By Sophie Iremonger

Two brothers at St Peter’s School have gone out of their way to make a difference for local families in need during Christmas, collecting 355 cans of food for the Cambridge branch of the Salvation Army.

“We just wanted to help those in need this Christmas, we knew this time of year can be a bit expensive with food and Christmas items, so we just wanted to help those less fortunate,” said Will, a Year 7 student, who along with his Year 9 brother Jamie, collected the cans over the last fortnight.

The boys decorated boxes into a Christmas

theme and left them at various stations around the school, spreading the word to encourage donations – including an appearance at the school’s junior assembly and at a staff meeting.

With the cans collected, they then took them in to the Cambridge Salvation Army.

“It was quite a good experience, we saw what they put in the boxes and what they need more of around Christmas time,” said Will.

The 355-can result far exceeded their expectations. “It went pretty well,” said Jamie.

“We used to donate to charity every year, we’d still do it even when it

wasn’t through school.”

The boys’ gift of giving started at their old school in the Cayman Islands, where they would put together a gift in a similar fashion to Operation Christmas Child, and they credit their parents for instilling such a positive attitude toward charity.

“Our parents helped out quite a lot with this,” Will said of their latest efforts.

“They kind of came up with the idea.” The boys younger brother Finn, a student at Tamahere School, was also involved with a can collection at his school.

“We just wanted to make other people’s lives a bit better than they were before,” said Will.

their support – without which the club would not be such a successful, friendly and delightful place. The final event was the presentation of cups, trophies and other awards. As well as the awards for top level bridge players there were many awards given which recognised the potential of our novice, junior and Intermediate players who

all achieved success in the many different club competitions. One special mention was given to Inge Marsden, who has given many years of dedicated service to the club, organising and running the Monday daytime session, for which she has been awarded and presented with the Club Service Award and a bunch of beautiful lilies.

Will and Jamie Livingston have collected over 350 cans for the Cambridge Salvation Army.

Horahora school’s morning of books, grandies and speeches

By Viv Posselt

Horahora School kids were in celebratory mood last week.

For a few hours, they shared their love of books with their grandparents and other family members and demonstrated their new-found skill at public speaking.

The school held its Book Character Day on December 1 – an event that dovetailed with Grandparents’ Day. After sharing a favourite story with their grandparents and parents, the children paraded around in their book character costumes before heading into an assembly at which the three winners of a recent speech competition read out their work.

Year 2 pupil Joel Johannes won the speech competition in the Year 1-2 category, and read out his work entitled “I Want to be a Pocket Knife”.

Year 3 student Molly Scott won in the Year 3-4 category and read out her speech on “Refugees”, while Year 6 student Anika Johannes, who won in the Year 6-8 category, read out her speech entitled “Ethical Fashion”.

Horahora School principal Joanne Synge also presented Anika with the school’s Silver Kiwi award in recognition of her special achievements.

“It was for her positive attitude towards all the assessments completed in the last weeks, and for a high level of achievement in all those assessments,” she said.

Some of the school’s 37 students couldn’t be there that morning as they were taking part in a joint schools’ sports event.

Year 6 student Anika Johannes won her category speech competition and was also presented with the school’s Silver Kiwi award by Horahora principal Joanne Synge.

Sun shines on twilight market

By Steph Bell-Jenkins

Thousands of shoppers poured into the hugely successful Tamahere Twilight Market last Saturday afternoon to enjoy the sunshine, food and craft stalls.

With visitors packed in elbow to elbow in places and pedestrian traffic moving slowly, some found the crowds “full on”.

“I’ve worked in China and this is worse,” said one man as he wove his way through the throngs with his grandchildren, while another woman compared the scene to London’s busy King Cross railway station.

But it was a nice problem for organisers, with the market launching the St Stephen’s Christmas Festival.

“For site holders it was great,” said St Stephen’s Church warden Jane Manson.

“A huge market with

good weather (to start with) and people who wanted to purchase. The general comments I heard were pretty positive and ranged from ‘wow, I have never been here before and it’s amazing’ to ‘just so many people’!”

Jane said the market’s venue was what made it special and there were no plans to move to a roomier site.

“It started as an outreach programme to the community and site holders and St Stephen’s wants to maintain this.”

She said the market, which is run in any weather, shrunk during winter months so even though last Saturday was “very busy”, overall the venue size was “about right”.

“There are two markets in December that people can attend, and these are generally the largest of the year,” she said.

“Other months, while really well attended –

especially if the weather is good – are not as busy and more relaxed.”

Jane said the church was holding a Community Carols event for the first time this year on December 9 at 6.30pm and would run its regular monthly market on December 16 from 8.30am-1pm.

The St Stephen’s Christmas Festival will be open until December 17, with the church hall festival shop selling “beautiful Christmas items” such as wreaths, decorations, nativity sets and vicarage crabapple jelly from 10am-4pm every day to raise money for various charities.

“As a church we celebrate Christmas with a children’s service, a special Blue Christmas service and carols by candlelight at 8.30pm on Christmas Eve,” Jane said.

“It’s wonderful to have people at our place!”

Cambridge craftspeople Marie and Angela Jenkins were among the stallholders capitalising on the popularity of last Saturday’s Tamahere Twilight Market.

Angela, a teacher, began making sock monkeys three years ago when her sister gave her a pattern to try and it “turned out interesting looking”. She and her mother Marie, a diversional therapist, have since created a successful cottage industry selling their colourful Crafty Sox toys at weekend markets.

New Zealand’s largely Cambridge-based elite track cycling team gave strong performances throughout the three-day UCI Track Cycling World Cup in Canada, coming away with five medals and plenty of close finishes.

The final day on Monday was highlighted by a strong finish from the teenage team pursuiters Nick Kergozou, Jared Gray, Tom Sexton and Campbell Stewart (filling in for Harry Waine). With an average age under 20 years, the took out the gold medal in the men’s team pursuit final over Canada, in a time of 3:59.00 – the fastest in competition for the young combination, who won by just a second.

Captain Leander from the Antiques won the toss and decided to field first.

The Googlies were in trouble and only one batsman managed to get to 23 runs – they were all out for 79 runs. The main wickettakers for the Antiques were Andy Beban 2 for 4 runs off 6 overs and Gerhard Slabbert (man of the match) 2 for 9 runs off 4 overs.

Dream hockey sabbatical

By Steph Bell-Jenkins

Leamington School’s Kate Kernaghan is taking a six-month break from teaching next year to play for top English hockey club East Grinstead, near London.

The 25-year-old striker has played elite-level hockey for the past nine years, breaking into the National Hockey League (NHL) while in year 12 at St Hilda’s Collegiate School in Dunedin.

She joined the Bayleys Midlands NHL team when she began studying at The University of Waikato in 2011, winning the national championship with her teammates in 2013 and again this September.

“That was an amazing feeling,” she said. “To make a comparison with rugby, it’s like playing for the Chiefs and winning the Super Rugby competition.”

While progressing through New Zealand U16, U18 and U21 representative sides, she embarked on a successful academic career, graduating with an honours degree in sports science in 2014 and a Masters of Teaching in 2015.

Kate began teaching in Hamilton in 2016 and moved to Leamington School this year, attracted by its reputation.

“A friend of a friend taught there and said ‘look, you have to apply at Leamington, it’s an incredible school.’

And I’d heard so many great things about it I was like ‘oh, I have to get there’,” she said.

However, juggling full time teaching with the unrelenting demands of highlevel sport has been challenging and left little time for anything else.

“When you play for a NZ side your year gets drawn out so you’re training from January all the way through to until December,” she said.

Kate has been tantalisingly close to achieving her dream of being selected for the Black Sticks since university and said it was make or break time.

“I trained with the Black Sticks a few times this year and I’m sort of in the phase where I’m still being talked about but I’m not quite there. So, it’s a question of whether I continue to push, or do I just say look, I’ve achieved a lot in my hockey career – it’s been amazing – and end it here.

“Hopefully England will improve my skills and give me a new excitement to play, which isn’t necessarily lost at the moment, but I feel like it’s decreasing just because of how hard it is to want to play at your best when you have to work full time.”

Kate will be a striker for the East Grinstead club just south of London from February to April, before travelling through Europe with a friend.

“I’m so lucky to be able to have the opportunity to go across the world and do what I love.”

Third place for Nick Ross Atlanta golf success Cambridge driver Nick Ross (pictured below) has come away from round two of the BNT V8s at Taupo third overall.

Qualifying fourth, across the weekend’s three races Ross took his Total Lubricants Nissan Altima to fourth place in race one, a second place in race two, and third in the final encounter of the weekend.

The results helping him maintain third place in the championship behind Jason Bargwanna and Andre Heimgartner.

“Up and down weekend overall, but happy. Really pleased with the reliability of the car at the moment, which is positive for the rest of the season,” said Ross. “The car in race two was really good, we grabbed second spot on the podium which was great - valuable points for the championship.

“In the reverse grid race three, we got a third placing which

came after a great battle with Lance Hughes and Jack Smith. We needed to finish ahead of Jack to clinch third for the weekend.

“It was a tough race and a tough battle with those two. The car seemed to be running a little bit rough.

Might have been a fuel pressure issue, it just seemed to be down on power a little bit, but we held on to get that all important third place which was great.

We’ll investigate the issue before the next

round and see what the cause was.”

Ross said that varying track conditions made it a challenge to fine tune the set-up of the car.

“Taupo is a circuit that you really need to get on top of the car setup early on, otherwise you’re chasing it for the rest of the weekend.

We had good pace for most of the weekend, just needed that little bit of extra which was hard to find due to the changeable track.

“I think it’s

something most teams struggled with over the weekend.

“But all in all, a good weekend, we came into the round third in points and we’re still third in points.

“Looking forward to getting down to the South Island in January for the next two rounds.”

The next round of the BNT V8s is at Ruapuna near Christchurch, January 13-14 before heading to Teretonga the following weekend.

The Atlanta Fundraising Golf Tournament held at the Cambridge Golf Club recently was a huge success, with a whopping $20,070 being raised for a local up-andcoming golfer to support their pursuits in reaching the top of their field.

Due to the rules applied to golfers under amateur status, the young player in question could not be named as a recipient of the funding. The well-known local golfer has incredible skill and a fantastic attitude toward the game, as described by organisers of the event. The funds will be held in a trust with the Waikato Golf Association.

The local group of golfers known as Atlanta, who play together twice-weekly at the Cambridge course, organised the event with the ambitious aim of raising $20,000 to help support the local golfer to take part in overseas tournaments – a pivotal part in making it to the top of the world golfing ranks.

Making a profit of $20,070, it was a “very pleasing” result for the Atlanta organisers, who wish to sincerely thank the 93 local sponsors who helped make the event

happen. “Without them the tournament wouldn’t have been possible,” said convenor Gary Lorigan.

Donations of products, services and vouchers totalling $4750 made for a fantastic prize pool for players in the tournament – with all 80 players taking home a prize.

As well as a huge amount of cash sponsorship, items in the raffles and auction were also donated by the local community, including a mystery Air New Zealand getaway, a golf hat signed by Lydia Ko, and even a teamsigned All Blacks jersey from Wayne Smith’s last match as a coach. Smith also attended on the day as a guest speaker.

Fantastic weather during the tournament on November 19 made for a great day golf, with players coming from around the region as well as Cambridge to take part in a Stableford or 9-hole competition.

With such a mammoth amount of funds raised by the many good sorts in the Cambridge community, the massive success of the tournament is a testament to the organisers, the players and of course the many people and businesses who helped make it happen.

BETTER WATCH OUT

A damn creepy, slick and twisted spin on the home-invasion thriller. You will not realize the scope of the insanity that is about to unfold. The trailer gives you a hint, but not enough to be certain of the "twist" to come. And even then, you still don't believe that things are going to get out of hand as they do.

There's a lot packed into this film and while it's definitely firmly set in the "silly-horror" genre and isn't particularly graphic, it delivers enough in the terror aspect to make you anxious and at times, appalled. The acting is excellent, especially by the two leads. During the Christmas holiday season, babysitter OliVIA and 12-year-old Luke find themselves the victims of a supposed home invasion. But as the terror unfolds, Olivia discovers that the situation is more complex and diabolical than she initially thought. BEWARE - nothing is what is seems.

COCO

In one word: Spectacular. In more than one word: Stunning, beautiful, colourful, powerful, sad, happy. A joy of a ride. A Pixar's masterpiece, impeccably done in terms of research (about the Mexican culture), animation, script, music, direction and production. A subtle yet charming and inspiring story with a quality of animation worthy of an Academy Award; with an extremely powerful soundtrack and an excellent script; likable, well-developed and relatable characters and extremely respectful of the cultural component, which inspires the story.

This is a movie about what family means, a movie about the choices we make and the roads not taken. This is a stunning work of art that will move you from happiness to tears, from memories of the past to the joy of the future, to understanding, to remembrance, to the joys and pains of being alive.
