This week, we are celebrating our 10th birthday here at Cambridge News, a good time to look back on the past decade which has seen a lot of change in the town and the world.

Where were you 10 years ago? I was still on maternity leave, struggling to work out how to have a baby and not lose my equilibrium (failed miserably). How about you?

And speaking of babies, last week there were 40 of them participating in the Big Latch On, contributing to the total of more than 2000 nationwide taking part.

Which is great, and breastfeeding is certainly to be celebrated. What should also be celebrated is anyone who is caring for a baby, whether they are breastfeeding or bottle feeding, because it’s flamin’ hard work. Good on all of you out there doing that.

Also in the news, primary school teachers are striking next Wednesday. I’ve spent a lot of time around teachers over my lifetime – my parents were both teachers and I was

also married to a teacher – and I can hand on heart say that I support them 100 per cent in their cause.

Most teachers pour their heart and soul into their work and spend a lot of their own time and money doing things for their students. With class sizes increasing and a deepening teacher shortage as overworked and underpaid teachers leave the profession, it’s time to take a serious look at this issue and put our money where our mouth is as far as what we value in New Zealand. It’s got to be kids, surely. And if we can spend $900 million more on diplomats and foreign aid, and $100 million supporting our next America’s Cup bid, surely we can make teaching a more attractive and sustainable profession for the good of our kids. Surely.

review of how well ratepayers and residents are represented by the current council structure.

Legally, all councils in New Zealand must review their make-up every six years to ensure representation is fair and effective. Waipa’s review has shown that, because of population growth, the council needs one more councillor and community board member representing Cambridge to comply with the Local Electoral Act. By law, councillors must represent the same number of people, plus or minus 10 per cent. By adding one more elected member for Cambridge, Waipā councillors would represent between 3,670 and 4,485 people each.

The other options put to councillors involved having fewer wards. However, councillors wanted to retain the existing wards to ensure rural representation was maintained and smaller communities continued to be well represented.

On Tuesday, council agreed to formally consult the public over the proposal to adopt one more Cambridge councillor at the next election in 2019. If so, there would be five Cambridge ward councillors and four Te Awamutu ward councillors. Two rural wards – Kakepuku and Maungatautari – would continue to have one representative each. The third rural ward, Pirongia, would continue to be represented by two elected members.

Council also proposes adding one more Cambridge Community Board member representing the Cambridge ward. There would continue to be four Te

Awamutu Community Board members.

The mayor would be in addition to the 13 councillors and would continue to be elected district-wide.

Mayor Jim Mylchreest said the proposal retains the five current wards, will have no impact on targeted rates and based on projected population growth, “will take us through to 2024 and beyond”.

Under the most recent proposal from the independent Remuneration Authority, each Council across New Zealand will be told how much they can spend (in total) on salaries for councillors.

This means there would be very little extra cost to ratepayers from having an additional councillor, he said.

A decision on any changes to remuneration for community board members is still being decided by the Remuneration Authority.

Consultation on the proposal will opened on Thursday, August 9, allowing the public to have their say. Council will make a formal decision in late September and any appeals or objections to that final decision will be sent to the Local Government Commission for consideration.

Any new representation arrangements will be in place for the 2019 local body elections.

Copies of the Council’s consultation document are available at council offices and libraries or online at waipadc.govt. nz/haveyoursay. Feedback must be received by September 10.

Councillor Vern Wilson voted against.

FRIDAY AUGUST 10, 2018

Teachers set to strike

By Claire Castle

Failing a last-minute agreement in mediation, primary school classrooms across Cambridge and the rest of the country will fall silent next Wednesday, August 15, as primary teachers and principals strike for the day. Initially scheduled to be a three-hour strike, this was upgraded to a full day of industrial action after a vote from members of the New Zealand Educational Institute (NZEI) Te Riu Roa – the teachers’ and principals’ union – to send a stronger message. The campaign, Kua Tae Te Wā/ It’s Time, was launched by the NZEI to achieve the significant investment they say is needed to allow children to reach their potential and to make teaching seen as an attractive, valued and well-supported profession.

It is up to the Board of Trustees for each school to decide whether or not the school will close, with partial closure not an option under the law. All primary schools in Cambridge are closing, as well as Cambridge Middle School. The teachers and principals have highlighted high workloads, lack of support for students with additional learning and behavioural needs, and undervaluing of the profession as key issues over the past few years. The NZEI’s lead principal negotiator Louise Green said

the decision to strike sends a strong message to the Government that it’s time to fix the crisis in teaching.

Lead teacher negotiator Liam Rutherford said the members’ decision to take industrial action shows the degree of frustration and conviction among teachers and principals.

At the heart of the campaign are four main issues: The crisis in education, time and workload, issues with salary and relativities, and career development.

A recent survey of more than 1000 people conducted by the NZEI showed that there is widespread support for increased government spending on public education, including a significant pay rise for teachers and more support for children with additional learning needs. Of those surveyed, 83 per cent said teachers need a pay rise, with 91 per cent supporting at least a “moderate” pay rise, with 82 per cent agreeing that this would improve teacher numbers and address shortages in the profession.

This is the first industrial action primary teachers have taken since 1994.

“Teachers and principals are very conscious of the inconvenience for students and families, but we’re taking action now to avert the very real threat of larger class sizes within a few years,” Louise Green said.

NZEI’s lead principal negotiator Louise Green says next Wednesday’s strike action is necessary to fix the crisis in teaching.

Forty bubs latching on at once

By Sophie Iremonger The Big Latch On event held in Cambridge last week was a resounding success with a total of 40 babies and their mums breastfeeding at the same time, suitably in the former Cambridge Maternity Hospital now known as the Health & Community Centre.

Organised locally by the Cambridge La Leche League, which was the first established in the country, the tally nearly doubled last year’s turnout of 23 babies and was a healthy step up from the organisation’s previous record of 29 in 2016.

The event is a nationwide effort held during World Breastfeeding week, hosted by family organisations throughout the country with each station “latching on” at 10.30am on Friday last week. Each contributed their tallies to a national total of over 2000 babies for 2018 - 1859 at Latch On venues and 213 registering online from home as a “brelfie” (breastfeeding selfie).

“We are thrilled with the response, it

was quite a buzz,” said Debbie Graham, Cambridge La Leche League leader and a lactation consultant. “This event was very successful as we wanted to show mums about all the groups and activities Cambridge offers. This means it takes them out of the home and they make new friends and contacts and develop the village of support that helps them gain confidence in their mothering.”

Also in attendance was Yvonne Foreman (nee Procuta), the founder of the La Leche League in both Cambridge and New Zealand in 1967, having brought the organisation here from Wisconsin, USA. “It is so stunning to see all you wonderful mothers and your totally gorgeous babies! How do you manage to keep them so quiet?” she joked as the baby chatter slowed to a murmur when the Latch On was underway.

Waipa District Councillor Sue Milner, a new grandmother of one year, also attended the event. “It is so wonderful to see so many nursing mothers in our community,” she said.

Eighteen local businesses contributed goods and services towards the event, enabling goodie bags and prizes to be given out.

“We really wanted to encourage mothers to get out and about with their babies, and to meet up with other

mothers,” said Graham. “That was the whole purpose of working in with Plunket, Cambridge Parents Centre, the local midwives, childbirth educators, Cambridge Playcentre, the Cambridge Toy Library… It’s really worked well that we’ve all worked together.”

Forty mothers and their babies turned out to the Big Latch On event in Cambridge last week.

FRIDAY AUGUST 10, 2018

Cookbook to cut waste Waipa District Council has jumped on board with a national initiative to reduce food waste going to landfill.

In Waipa around 26 per cent of what’s in household rubbish bags is food scraps. Those bags – and the food - ends up being dumped.

Council’s waste minimisation officer Sally Fraser said given the cost of food, people were literally “throwing money away”. And because of waste collection costs people were being hit twice.

“With just a bit of planning we can reduce the amount of food we buy. That cuts back on want we don’t eat and what eventually gets thrown out. That saves waste going to landfill and can make a big difference to household budgets.”

This week Waipa joined other councils and the national LoveFoodHateWaste organisation in launching a seasonal cookbook – Easy Choice Family Kai - which provides a month’s worth of non-waste recipes on a budget. Each week’s ingredients cost around $60 for a family of six and

all recipes are nutritionally balanced with plenty of healthy ingredients.

Council helped fund the cookbook through the waste levy funding it receives from the Ministry for the Environment, and that support means the cookbook can be downloaded free from Waipa’s website with limited free hard copies also available from council offices. When LoveFoodHateWaste launched its autumn edition in April this year, the cookbook was downloaded more than 18,000 times.

Already Waipa community health worker Rangi Paraha has trialled the cookbook and says it works.

“Yes, the recipes did feed the whānau. The shopping list is very accurate, with no food waste, which is what we were aiming for. The meals were really nice and it’s really affordable, too.”

Sally said if the cookbooks proves popular, Waipa will look at supporting other seasonal editions.

Waipa’s Rangi Paraha and her 10-year old daughter Hinerangi. They’ve trialled Easy Choice Family Kai and give it the thumbs up.

Cambridge Community Board update

By Mike Pettit, Chairman.

It was fantastic to hear from seven residents at the public forum.

Topics covered included Christmas decorations for the town, possibility for a floating jetty near the boat ramp at the bottom Dominion Ave, seating around the Leamington Polo Ground area and from the Act of Kindness group, which is based on families volunteering within the community.

If you would like to join this group or have a project or job you would like assistance with, please contact Rebecca at actofkindness.co.nz.

The Board have asked council to consider holding Waipa Citizenship Ceremonies, that take place most months, alternatively between Te Awamutu and Cambridge.

The rationale is often more than 50 per cent of those becoming New Zealand citizens in Waipa live on this side of the district.

CCB members followed

up by some students from Cambridge Primary have painted the fuel bunker that sits above the carpark at Lake Te Koo Utu. A sign has been made explaining the history of the bunker which dates back to WW2. We invite any interested parties to come along and share in a simple dedication of the bunker on Monday, September 3 at 3pm.

Due to the disappointing response back from NZTA regarding bringing the physical driving licence test back to Cambridge the Board have asked Mayor Jim Mylchreest to advocate to NZTA for its return.

The Board have successfully advocated for the steamroller at the Leamington Domain playground to be retained.

We look forward to the restoration work being completed this side of Christmas. The Board have committed funds towards upgrading of Christmas decorations,

and will be working with the Cambridge Chamber of Commerce’s First XV group who have volunteered to put them up over the last three years. Your feedback would be welcome on this topic.

Council and Community Board members are now required to complete an Annual Member Interest Declaration Report, as the Members of Parliament are required. This is fully supported by the Board.

To fit with legal requirements, the CCB was presented with options around representation of elected members.

The board has recommended to council an additional Board member which will give an even proportion of members to ratepayers across our town and rural areas.

Building statistics for June show a total of 33 consents issued for Cambridge, 15 being for new house dwellings,

at an average cost of $615,331.

Maungatautari ward had a total of 14 consents issued, six being houses, with each dwelling averaging $647,710. The total value of all consents for both wards was $16,323,333.

Our CCB meetings take place on the first Wednesday of each month starting with a public forum at 6pm,

where members of the public are able to come and speak.

To place an item on the formal agenda, please do so at least 10 days before the meeting, either by emailing myself on mike.pettit@waipadc. govt.nz or our CCB secretary, Noelene.BarrAllwood@waipadc.govt. nz or contact any board member by visiting www.waipadc.govt.nz.

Tech event a hit

Kapa haka showcase next week

By Sophie Iremonger The fifth annual Combined Cambridge Schools Kapa Haka Festival will take place next Friday, August 17 at the Sir Don Rowlands Centre, Karapiro.

Organised by Cambridge High School, the event, which saw record attendance last year, will see nine groups from seven local schools perform to the public, celebrating the Māori culture and showcasing their talent.

“Over time (the kapa haka festival) has grown into a very memorable

and well attended event,” said Marcel Kuijpers, Cambridge High School’s acting deputy principal and organiser of the event. “Due to its popularity we have had to move to a new venue, as well as changing the festival to a day time event.”

The whakatau (welcome) will kick off at 9am, with the first school performance starting at 10am, likely concluding around 2.30pm. Entry is via gold coin donation. Food and drink will also be available to purchase.

For more information, contact the school on (07) 827 5415.

A number of young women, and a handful of men, attended the Nyriad She# tech event in Auckland.

Nyriad’s women-in-tech event in Auckland last month proved to be a success, with a number of participants taking part.

Quickfire News

Our pride increasing, but concern remains Pride in the Waipa district is growing according to a recent council survey, but many people are still in the dark about council activities.

Each year Waipa District Council commissions independent telephone research targeting more than 400 Waipa residents picked at random over the year. The survey measures how satisfied residents are with the council’s performance and identifies areas for improvement.

Parks and reserves remain the most used of council facilities with more than three quarters of residents ‘very satisfied’ with parks and reserves maintenance.

However, perceptions about financial management remain with residents concerned about transparency and council’s spending decisions. The proportion of residents who believe they know a great deal about council has increased significantly over the year but more than a quarter of residents (27 per cent) still say they have little knowledge of council activities.

The survey also showed that more than four in 10 residents are unclear on the role of Community Boards. About half of Waipa residents are happy with the way their particular town is developing.

The survey showed that: • A growing number of Waipa residents (76 per cent) are proud of their district • Satisfaction with the performance of regulatory services has significantly increased • Satisfaction with public facilities has steadily increased • There has been a significant increase in library usage across the district The complete survey results are available at www.waipadc.govt.nz/ResidentsSurvey

Held July 26 in conjunction with She#, the event aimed to encourage people, especially women, to consider pursuing a career in technology.

Gathering inside the Auckland Rose Park Hotel, participants were first introduced to Nyriad – a Cambridgebased exascale computing company – and its internship programme, which gives participants computer programming challenges and encourages them to learn as they go.

A problem-solving presentation then provided a glimpse of what working in the technology industry might be like, and the skills they could apply in a real-life context.

Participants then completed four rounds of tasks in a simulated project, where they worked in teams to create mock-deliverables for their customers.

At each stage they faced a problem they had to resolve while still meeting customer requirements.

“The teams then presented their work to the rest of the attendees, where their innovative ideas and passion for the tech industry really shone through,” said Nyriad’s Amy Gibb, who helped organise the event. “After the event, many connections were made, and advice shared.”

For more information on Nyriad’s upcoming events and internship programme, visit nyriad.com.

Nyriad’s internship programme does monthly intakes and is open to anyone regardless of qualifications.

Internees simply need to have a perseverance and an interest in technology. Those interested can send their CV to careers@nyriad.com.

Last year’s Combined Cambridge Schools Kapa Haka Festival saw nine Cambridge schools perform.

August will find Cambridge writer Tracey Slaughter basking in her preferred element – knee-deep in words and surrounded by those who shape them into works of art.

Tracey is involved in this year’s Hamilton Book Month, a string of 20 literary-oriented events running through August. Up from 17 events last year, the 2018 programme offers workshops, panels, a seminar and a play, conversations with authors, illustrators, storytelling and much more.

Tracey will chair the Travels in Memory panel at Hamilton’s Meteor Theatre on Monday August 13, from 6.30pm, where she will steer key questions around life-writing with acclaimed authors Catherine Chidgey, Diana Wichtel and Vivianne Flintoff.

Events such as these, and the awards she has entered through the years, are her oxygen in a world dominated by a teaching role at Waikato University and running a slightly unusual private life.

“I try to use them as a spur … something to aim at. It’s such a joy just being around book nerds, people who love books as much as I do.”

Tracey is an award-winning poet and short story writer.

She rates the international Bridport Prize in 2014 as one of her biggest wins to date, but has also won two Katherine Mansfield Awards, was the recipient of the 2010 Creative New Zealand Louis Johnson New Writer’s Bursary, and won the Landfall Essay Competition in 2015.

Her short stories have been shortlisted in numerous competitions, and in 2007, she was a winner of the NZ Book Month Award. This

Interesting Times The topic of the Official Cash Rate (OCR), and consequently interest rate movements, regularly exercises the minds of politicians, investors and those involved in the financial services industry. New Zealand has been, and continues to be, in a very low interest rate environment which reflects generally contained inflationary pressures and a decade of stimulatory monetary policy. This has contributed to strong performance in the equity market.

High interest rates are generally viewed as having a negative influence on equity markets. Listed companies are less inclined to borrow and invest when access to capital is expensive, which may ultimately impact earnings growth. Conversely high interest rates can be attractive to investors seeking income. So which asset class has the ascendancy moving forward? While the Reserve Bank did not provide too many leads in its most recent OCR review, it commented that it is “well positioned to manage change in either direction – up or down – as necessary”.

There is a line of thought that inflationary pressures will increase as the New Zealand economy continues to expand, however the latest economic data suggests the economy is slowing. The Reserve Bank is therefore understandably reluctant to tighten monetary policy if the effect could destabilise economic growth.

Hence the Reserve Bank Governor appears to have a ‘bob each way’ in his commentary.

The picture will become clearer at the next Reserve Bank review of the OCR. Suffice to say, investors need to be thinking about the implications of interest rate movements (in either direction), and ensuring that their portfolios are well diversified and ‘match fit’ in response to any change.

Social media to drive down price

A new petrol station has taken the novel approach of harnessing the power of social media to not only spread the word of its arrival, but also to give locals the chance to band together to drive down petrol prices in celebration of the opening of the Waitomo Petroleum fuel Stop at Mystery Creek next week.

From Wednesday, August 8, motorists can visit Waitomo’s Facebook page and follow the instructions to secure lower petrol and diesel prices from noon next Wednesday, August 15, until noon next Friday, August 17.

Every person who likes, shares, comments and tags a friend on the new campaign will help drop the price, giving temporary relief from the current record high fuel prices.

Waitomo recently celebrated 70 years in business after being founded by Desmond Ormsby, whose grandson Jimmy Ormsby is the managing director, on the principles of honesty and integrity. The company’s motto is “Kiwis fueling Kiwis” and Waitomo now has over 70 Fuel Stops and Service Stations across Northland, Auckland, Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Taranaki, Hawkes Bay and Manawatu-Whanganui.

year, she came second in the prestigious international Peter Porter Poetry Award, for a poem entitled breather.

Tracey was born in Papatoetoe, raised mainly in the Coromandel and can scarcely recall a time when she didn’t write. “I was a voracious reader, always glued to a book or two, always being told to go outside and play. And I always wrote … poems, short stories.”

She completed a BA English major in Auckland, married and then found herself juggling two small children – now teenage boys - while doing her thesis on New Zealand Women’s Autobiographies and working on her own creativity. “I think the experience of motherhood brought it to the surface.”

The books came – first a collection of short stories entitled her body rises, then a novella called The Longest Drink in Town, and more recently, another collection of short stories entitled deleted scenes for lovers. She’s just had the publication confirmed of a new book of poetry, and more works are in the pipeline.

Earning a crust came in the form of teaching creative writing, first in Auckland and now at Waikato.

She loves the university environment where teaching brings a different joy. “I love unlocking creativity, seeing the students make a breakthrough.”

Tracey reckons she was a “bit geeky” at school, but now her flame-haired self has the sort of life that would make her schooldays critics seem staid. She’s the drummer and singer in Radiobaby, a rock covers band that has been doing gigs across Waikato and the Coromandel for six years.

The changing employment law landscape

By Andrea Twaddle

Last month, Parliament passed legislation which will provide victims of domestic violence with 10 days paid leave a year, to take effect mid2019. It is a time of significant change in the New Zealand employment law landscape: • the minimum wage continues to rise; • parental leave has been extended; • pay equity and pay parity issues are driving sector wide pay discussions, with industrial action driving home the urgency and importance of the need for fair working conditions to be addressed for thousands of workers; • the Select Committee is presently considering numerous employment law Bills/amendments; • privacy law is being addressed for the first time in decades; • there is debate about the employer/ contractor relationship of NZ Post courier drivers; and • the Court has recently considered the application of WorkSafe Guidelines around bullying.

It is no surprise that for many small employers, keeping ahead of what is proposed and what is the current law can be a challenging exercise.

Major roll backs to previous law are reflected in the Bills before Parliament presently. These are focused on the reenforcement of unions and restoration of union delegate rights. For example: • restoring statutory rest and meal breaks;

• reinstatement being re-established as the primary remedy for unfair dismissal claims; • re-establishing the duty to conclude bargaining unless there is a good reason not to; • restoring the ’30-day rule’ where for the first 30 days of employment, new employees must be employed under the relevant collective employment agreement; • restoring union access without prior employer consent, provided access is at a reasonable time, and does not affect business continuity or health and safety; Alongside these union/collective focused amendments, changes proposed include that trial periods would be only be available for use by businesses with less than 20 employees.

One of the more controversial new proposals relates to complex employment arrangements, known as triangular or tripartite employment relationships. Typically, this arises where a company contracts workers using a labour hire/temp agency.

In most cases, there will be a clear understanding of who the ‘real’ employer is, with the worker being employed by the labour hire company and not the organisation they then perform work for. However, where a short-term arrangement extends over time, there are risks for a triangular employment relationship to develop.

The Employment Relations (Triangular Employment) Amendment Bill is intended to allow employees

employed by the primary employer, but working under the control and direction of another entity (the secondary employer), the right to coverage of a collective agreement for their work for the secondary employer, and to give employees the right to join the secondary employer to a personal grievance clam against the primary employer.

The intention is to close the loopholes which may enable a company seeking to avoid employment related obligations using labour hire companies.

Andrea Twaddle However, it could have more far reaching effects for legitimate, short-term temp workers, given a broad definition of ‘secondary employer’ proposed by the Bill.

Submissions on these proposed law changes have been received, and significant debate is anticipated before any WAIPA NETWORKS ARE changes proceed.

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.

Fuel bunker gets spruce up

Members of the community were out in force recently, painting the concrete pump house above the Te Koo Utu Lake car park.

The structure was once attached to an aviation fuel depot during World War II, now the focus of a restoration project supported by the Cambridge Community Board with the help of individuals and businesses in the community.

The tank, which held up to 2.27 million litres of fuel for the Air Force station at Rukuhia, was emptied in July 1946 and Some of the AR9 painting crew (left to right): Mike Pettit, Elwyn Andree-Wiltens, Sue Milner removed in 1950.

Pony winners in Matariki Dish Challenge

The fourth annual Matariki Dish Challenge took place over June 9 to July 14 with winners announced last week.

The event, organised by Waikato Food Inc, sees restaurants and cafes around the region enter their own dish creation centred around native New Zealand foods and local produce. Over 20 eateries entered this year from Hamilton, Raglan, Te Awamutu, Matamata and Cambridge.

“One of the goals of the challenge is to help local food businesses grow,” said the event’s organiser

Vicki Ravlich-Horan, “and so the challenge is designed to upskill and test the whole team, not just the kitchen.” In addition to the dish the eateries were judged on service, staff knowledge and promotion of the challenge.

Duke St eatery Pony took out the winning title in the restaurant category of this year’s challenge, with judges commenting them on their “absolutely gorgeous looking” dish. It included a richly flavoured puree of harore mushrooms, fried shiitake and field mushrooms, creamy Over the Moon goat curd, crisps

of Jerusalem artichoke for texture and nuttiness, a “delightful” mushroom foam, house fermented black garlic and kumara gnocchi crusted with Horopito.

“An excellent touch for the chef Matt Cooper to bring out the dish and talk through each of the components and where they all came from,” judges said. “He did this with all the other customers that ordered the dish. A great introduction.”

The full list of winners is available at waikatofoodinc.com/matariki-dish-challenge/.

Boys’ breakkie with Liam

More than 90 lads, dads, granddads and other significant males enjoyed breakfast at

Boys and their male role models were served up breakfast at Cambridge Primary on Wednesday.

Cambridge Primary on Wednesday, joined by a special guest, rugby player Liam Messam.

The breakfast was a chance for senior boys and their male role models to sit down and enjoy breakfast together, and parent Blair Taylor said he thought it was a “great idea”, and that his son Olly was really excited to be able to invite him along. Olly thought the whole concept was “sweet”, and that it was pretty cool to have a free breakfast, with the bacon being a highlight.

Former Hautapu player Liam, who is off to France with his family to take up a rugby contract next week, said that Cambridge was like a second home to him and that it is a fantastic community.

While the boys might look up to famous athletes, Liam said there was no better role model for them

that the man joining them at the table. “You don’t need to look too far for role models, just look at who is at the table with you today.”

Liam Messam was right behind the idea of a boys’ breakfast, joking that “it’s always good to have a free kai”.

Kathleen Marking was ceremonially clapped into her own 100th birthday party at Cambridge’s Moxon Centre on August 5.

The crowd – made up of visiting family, friends and Selwyn St Andrew’s Village folk – was clearly impressed by the star of the show. Kathleen herself, however, took all the clatter, the cake and the array of birthday cards completely in her stride; but a quiet chat the following day revealed how thrilled she was.

She is immensely grateful to the five family members who flew over from the UK for the week, and to local family and friends who joined the party. She was delighted by the smiling card from Queen Elizabeth, the gigantic ‘100’ card from the Moxon Centre crowd, and was tickled pink at getting one from Jacinda Ardern, with a hand-written message inside.

“The cake was lovely, too,” she added.

Big winner in performing arts

By Sophie Iremonger

St Peter’s student Jack Dams has brought home a stack of trophies from the 2018 Tauranga Festival of Performing Arts competition held during the school holidays.

The modest Year 9 student said it was fun to compete, but, “There’s always room for improvement!” he said with a

smile. “I like to focus on the next one.

“It was a good opportunity to go out and see what (talent) they have over in Tauranga. It’s always just fun to compete.”

Having already won a number of performance titles at his school, Jack secured four trophies at the event held last month. He won the Speech and Drama Schroeder Family Award for

le Maps

most entertaining individual 13 years and over.

He also earned the Earp Family Cup – open to participants across all age levels for the highest overall mark in prose. He earned the same trophy in 2015 at the age of ten.

As one of just two people at the event to score one hundred percent on an item, he also won the Matthew Hooker Award for the highest individual mark.

And lastly, he earned the Scholarship Cup for 13 to under 15-year-olds based on excellent performances across four events; poetry, sight reading, prose and dramatic characterization – for which he took home a $100 cash prize.

As a speech and drama student, the soon-to-be 14-year-old was preparing some of his items for the event since around the start of the school year, while other parts were prepped just a few weeks out from competition.

It’s not the first time he’s been recognised either, with a raft of other accolades under his belt including winning the school’s Founders Medal for the annual prep school speech competition, which he won in both Year 7 and 8, as well as winning the regional school speech competition in Year 7 – which he was unable to compete in for Year 8.

He’ll be taking part in the NZ Speech exams and Trinity of London exams this year, as well as the school’s Drama Cup this weekend.

presentation, the keen student said he’s considering all options for his future, where his skills could be effective in several different pathways.

“I like to keep it open,” he said, “so I always have opportunities if they show up.”

Plastic free winner

Congratulations to the winner of our Plastic Free July competition, Myra Dost, who suggests totally refusing to use plastic bags, even as rubbish bin liners. “All bins are made out of plastic, they do not need an extra layer of plastic. When the bin is full, tip the rubbish out, then clean your bin and you’re good to go. It only takes a minute and you’re saving the environment at the same time.”

Thanks to everyone for sending in your ideas to reduce plastic, including making the kids in charge of remembering the reusable bags when you go shopping and implementing sustainability ratings on packaging so consumers can make a more informed choice.

There were some great ideas out there and it’s great to start looking at easy ways to cut down.

Thanks to the Waipa District Council for supplying the reusable straws and coffee cup, and well done, Myra.

BMX boys back with Aus titles

By Sophie Iremonger Two of Cambridge’s top BMX riders have returned home from the Australian National Series with good reason to smile. Tasman Wakelin and Bennett Greenough competed in three rounds of the event with enough race wins to claim the overall titles in their age groups.

Competing in his final year of age group racing, for 16 year old boys, Tasman Wakelin won every qualifying round and final race during the first two rounds, held in Sydney in March and in Melbourne in May, and at the last round held on the Gold Coast July 21-22 he won all but one race, safely securing the title as top 16 year old boy, as well as the fastest time in age group racing, and fourth fastest time including the elite riders.

“I was pretty stoked aye, I’ve never done that well,” he said of the overall result. “We hadn’t had much training leading up to it… so I was happy to finish it off like that.

“The other two rounds were a lot easier than this last one!”

Unfortunately, due to the Cambridge BMX track not being allowed to use their start gate during winter, the boys weren’t quite able to have the same preparations leading up to the last round as their Australian counterparts, but they didn’t let it dampen their spirits.

“We came into Narang pretty fresh,” said Bennett. “There was way more

depth in the racing, so many more fast riders (than in New Zealand).

“There were a few things that I would have changed in my racing if I could go back, but overall I’m pretty happy with it.”

Bennett finished second overall at the recent round in Narang but having finished first overall at the other two rounds, he’s made the top of the table for 15-year-old boys. “It’s pretty exciting to be honest,” he said. “It was awesome getting to race different people than usual, on heaps of different tracks that are all completely different, it tested our ability to adapt.

“It was a really cool experience, I’d definitely do it again.”

Having been selected for the National BMX Performance Hub based in Cambridge, the boys kicked off their hub training over the school holidays and continue their training at the Avantidrome and Te Awamutu BMX track each week under coach Matt Cameron.

“We’re all at different age levels so we all have different aims,” Tasman explained. “So Matt just wants us to equally concentrate on our own goal, and he’ll try and get us as best as he can for those.”

Heading into elite group racing next year, Tasman said his goal was to accumulate world qualifying points and track time at as many competitions as possible, stating with the North Island BMX Champs in October and the BMX World Champs next year

Photo - Michael jeans in Belgium. “Next year will be a big year … There will be a lot more competition,” he said. “I’ve stepped my training up a lot more, I’m more determined,” he said, crediting the region’s excellent facilities and support as a contributor to his success so far, having moved here last year after spending a few years in Australia.

With one more year next year in age

group racing, Bennett said his goal was to return to the US Nationals in November, where he won the Race of Champions in 2016, and aims to take the US title for his age group. “To win that would be a pretty good goal for me, I’ve come close a few times,” he said. “My long-term goal would probably to make the podium at the BMX World Champs next year.”

Lacrosse: Tough battle against TA

Cambridge High School’s boys lacrosse team went up against Te Awamutu on Sunday, hoping to redeem themselves following a 5-6 loss in June. Both teams were missing a key player – TA’s Dalton Hargreaves and Cambridge captain Damian Leech – but they persevered nonetheless, defending each other’s attacks so well that the score remained at 0-0 for the first third of the game.

“That was the first time this has happened with any of anyone’s games this season, which goes to show how closely matched and how skilful both teams are playing,” said Cambridge coach Anthony Warrington.

“Defensively, this was our best game of the season.”

After a player was sent off, the Cambridge team managed to hold off the TA players for two minutes with a man down. “I thought the tie-breaker would come then,” said Warrington, “but our team played a fantastic man-down zone-based defence and held Te Awamutu off for the whole two minutes.”

The Cambridge team dominantly moved the ball with several opportunities for the goal, “but unfortunately we just couldn’t hit the target,” said Warrington. “I lost count of how many shots we had.

We’re definitely going to need to do some shooting practice at training.”

With Damian Leech absent, Alistair Hearmon (centre) stepped in as team captain, and earned player of the day.

The Te Awamutu players managed to sneak the ball past the defence a few times to finish up with a 3-0 victory, “but the game was so close that it could have gone either way,” said Warrington.

“In the absence of our captain, Alistair Hearmon (player of the day) really stepped up and communicated well with the team to set up our defence. His one-on-one defence was outstanding, and he held TA’s dodgers off numerous times. He got

many turn-overs for Cambridge, which led to a lot of offensive opportunities for us too.”

This Sunday the Cambridge team will play St Johns, who are placed at the bottom of the table, at 4pm at the Hamilton Inline Hockey Centre, Old Farm Rd, Hamilton. “I am hoping to get some of our younger, less experienced players as much game time as possible for this game, before we go into the final few weeks of the season,” said Warrington.

Singapore veteran joins Marsh Singapore star War Affair has joined Stephen Marsh’s barn after a six-month spell at Trelawney Stud and the Cambridge trainer is eyeing feature spring racing with the eightyear-old.

“He recently joined the stable after having a nice long spell at Trelawney,” Stephen said. “It’s probably the first decent spell he has had for most of his life.

“He’s been living over there for so long and he wouldn’t have known himself to get into a nice paddock with foot-long grass.”

Formerly trained in Singapore

by Stephen’s father Bruce Marsh, War Affair won 16 of his 29 starts, including 12 stakes races and earned more than S$3 million in prizemoney.

His feats on the track led him to being crowned Champion 2YO in Singapore in 2013, Horse of the Year and Champion 3YO in Singapore in 2014, and Champion 4YO and Miler in Singapore in 2015.

Stephen is happy with how War Affair has settled into his stable and is setting the O’Reilly gelding for the Gr.2 Lisa Chittick Foxbridge Plate (1200m) before heading to the Gr.1 Tarzino Trophy (1400m) at Hastings next month.

Stephen is excited to have such a quality horse join the stable and said War Affair belies his age and seems to be over the wind issues he suffered from in Singapore.

“He’s had a few wind operations,” Stephen said. “It all seems good now, his wind seems good.

Obviously he wears a tongue tie, but it doesn’t seem too bad. His legs seem fresh and he’s sound, he’s like a new horse.

“It is really exciting to have him in the stable. The riders said he doesn’t feel like he’s eight, he feels like a young horse, so that’s great.

“He has obviously been well looked after his whole life. Horses with the amount of racing he has had at his age tend to have their fair

share of problems, but he’s fine, he’s 100 per cent.”

There is still the possibility that War Affair will return to Singapore for his owners the Ong family, but Stephen is hoping to hang onto the O’Reilly gelding for as long as he can.

Woodlock aims to end season on a high Cambridge captain Patrick Woodlock has hinted he may be playing his last season of competitive football, but he’s determined to leave the

Reds in a position of strength.

If he does retire at the end of the season, Cambridge supporters may well relish Woodlock’s last appearance at John Kerkhof Park in which his leadership helped his side

come from behind to register an important win.

Cambridge badly needed a win against Franklin United last Saturday to pull clear of the Northern League’s relegation zone. But after 37

minutes, the Reds were trailing 1-0 to a Charlie Heather goal, and against a side that beat them 8-1 in their earlier match this season.

Woodlock took charge of the situation, coming forward for a corner and powering a header high into the Franklin net to level the scores and give Cambridge supporters hopes of a comeback. The 30-yearold captain’s goal inspired his team to one of its best performances of the year as they fought for a 3-1 victory and three points that lifted them four places up the Lotto NRFL second division table.

Woodlock’s brother Jamie, 20, scored both of Cambridge’s other goals. His first came only seconds after the halftime interval when he raced after a long ball and Franklin goalkeeper Brody Turkington failed to clear it, giving Woodlock an open goal.

In the 59th minute, Cambridge forward Josh Clarkin dribbled into the Franklin box but was ruled to have been taken down by a defender. Jamie Woodlock calmly slotted the ensuing penalty past Turkington to give the Reds a valuable 3-1 lead.

Instead of trying to defend their lead, Cambridge built

in confidence and created the best of the chances in the remaining half hour. Coach Paul Richardson brought two strikers on as substitutes, a clear signal that the Reds were not going to sit back.

When the final whistle came, and the Reds had secured three points from their final home match of the campaign, the players celebrated, knowing Cambridge’s future in the Lotto NRFL second division lies in their hands.

The side’s remaining games are all away – a 600km round trip to Northland, followed by two Auckland trips for games against relegation-threatened Te Atatu and runaway leaders Takapuna.

Patrick Woodlock will go into those games anxious to ensure the Reds remain in the Northern League next year, having worked so hard to get the team back into the competition. He already holds a club record for having won its Player of the Year award six times 2008, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017, as well as being named the WaiBOP Premiership’s Player of the Year for 2015 and 2017.

Leading the Reds to league safety this year might rank high among his achievements.

Other football results

Cambridge reserves extended their unbeaten run to 11 matches with a 3-1 home win against Franklin United.

The victory ensures the Reds maintain their lead at the top of the Lotto NRFL second division reserves competition. The side has three matches remaining and with nearest rivals Takapuna also winning (3-1 against Albany United) last weekend, the title might go down to the last game of the season.

Cambridge took the lead on the half-hour when leading goal scorer Andrew Taylor swept home an Adam Brady cross that finished an end-to-end move by the team.

Cambridge doubled their lead after 64 minutes when Johnny Sanchez scored the goal of the game, a screamer from the edge of the area that hit the underneath of the bar and into the goal. Reds striker Aaron Huesser made sure of the points, securing his third goal of the season with six minutes to go.

In the Loaded WaiBOP Championship, Cambridge lost 2-1 at home to second-placed Taupo, after the sides were tied 1-1 at half-time.

Cambridge men’s A travelled to Te Aroha Cobras’ Boyd Park for a 1-1 draw. Cambridge’s scorer was Peter Buesnel who netted for the 19th time this season.

In the Waikato D competition, the D1 side stepped up their quest for the divisional title with a 4-0 home win against Te Aroha Cobras. The side took the lead through Fabian Burgos but the visitors then put up a solid defence to hold the score line for the rest of the half. Dave O’Donnell doubled the D1s’ lead after an hour, scrambling home from close in when a Steve Barrott long throw caused mayhem in the box. Paul Blackstock made it 3-0 with a long-range effort before Rick Vollebregt sealed the victory with his side’s fourth.

The D2s lost 2-0 to Waikato Unicol.

Cambridge’s women’s team lost a tight Waikato A League match 4-3 to top side West Hamilton United.

This Sunday, the team plays Claudelands Rovers at Galloway Park in the semi-final of the Waikato Women’s Cup. Cambridge are trying to reach a women’s knockout final for the fourth time in six seasons.

Kenpo 5.0 students bring home trophy haul The local martial arts school of Kenpo 5.0 sent a team to the Kenpo 5.0 World Tournament in Las Vegas late last month, with all competitors performing extremely well and all achieving at least one placing.

“This is a huge achievement considering the tournament was represented by 19 different countries,” said Mark Robinson, head sensei at Kenpo 5.0 Cambridge. “It was also the culmination of months of training and fundraising to make it all possible.”

Students Aaron Bruce and Drew Baldwin made their mark at the competition, both winning the

Grand Championship for sparring.

During a grading held at the competition camp, Dan Chapman, Aaron Bruce and Alexandra Hollands all achieved first degree black belts. “The result of years of dedication, commitment and excellence,” said Robinson.

“As a coach and instructor, I couldn’t be more proud of the team. They achieved at the highest level on the world stage and I’m sure a large part of this was due to the amazing teamwork, support and encouragement from all members and their support crew. It was a very fitting result.”

The intermediate schoolboys’ competition sees under-45kg rugby teams from Morrinsville, Te Awamutu, Cambridge, Tokoroa, Matamata and Hamilton compete over a five-week tournament. So far, the local team has competed in three games.

The first round against the Hamilton Green team saw Cambridge start well

with plenty of possession and territory.

Hamilton Green held them up over the line twice, and soon went 5-0 ahead after a runaway from their winger.

Down to 14 men for the rest of the half after Sebastian George was sin binned, the Hamilton team scored twice to lead 15-0 at half time. Cambridge fought back hard and drew close with a try to Tipene Keenan, converted by Ryan Harvey. The final score was 15-7 to Hamilton.

A freezing storm blew through in the second half and made any play difficult, Te Awamutu making the most of the opportunity to score two more tries and win 32-0.

Game three against Hamilton Red saw a much-improved performance with four first half tries by Cayden Jackson (2), Baxter Smith and Zac Keyte, and a conversion by Jonte Redman, which saw Cambridge up 22-0.

The second half was even more promising with some great team tries scored. Baxter Smith closed off a hattrick, James Macguire scored two, Trent Lomey and Ryan Harvey each scored one and Jonte and Ryan converted one a piece. The final score was 56-0 to Cambridge.

Coaches Dave Peters and Paul Hughes wished to thank all of the team’s sponsors and supporters. Next week they play in Morrinsville against Matamata and Hamilton White teams.

Rotary’s gift of movement

By Aaron Ure, Avantidrome Community Trikes coordinator There is nothing that can compare with being able to move independently and have the freedom of choice around where you go. If you doubt this then take a simple test, spend the next three hours fixed into your chair, totally reliant on someone else to help you get around.

You will soon come to realise how precious your independence and mobility are.

The Rotary Club of Cambridge has been supporting our community since the 1940s, and they understand that life can take some unexpected turns. Recently when presented with a request from the Avantidrome Community Trikes for support to purchase a new trike for some of those less able in our community, they didn’t hesitate. With the help of TrikesNZ, Rotary Cambridge gifted exactly what was needed with a specialist Micah trike, and the results have been overwhelming.

One young man, Vishal, requires full support to stand or bear weight when transferring from one chair to another but recently, thanks to the addition of the Micah trike to the Avantidrome’s trike fleet he has achieved more than he or his family ever thought possible. In the space of four weeks he has moved from an involuntary passenger through life to choosing how far and at what pace he will move. Last week he independently rode the trike for one and a half hours to achieve his goal

to ride for 10 kilometres without assistance, and he made it. What an astounding feat for someone who cannot bear weight.

While about 40 per cent of riders that participate in Avantidrome’s Community Trikes Programme live with an ongoing disability that determines the extent of inclusion they can expect in life, the vast majority of riders just enjoy the freedom of movement and the social interaction that comes with regular weekly catch ups at the Avantidrome.

“We are so thankful for

the ongoing support of TrikesNZ and such great community partners like the Rotary Club of Cambridge. These partnerships continue to enable us to present real opportunities for our community to engage in health and wellness activities through triking”.

If you have ever thought you might like to give triking it a go, or support someone else who benefit from, then make contact with Aaron and his team at the Avantidrome they’ll guide you into some great new experiences.

Phone 027 484 3664.

Sam also secured the fastest time from the semi-finals, and started out the final race with the best speed. But Kallfelz took the lead early in the race with Ruth Siddorn of Great Britain following in third.

The three led the way through the first quarter of the race, with Desislava Georgieva of Bulgaria soon securing third, hot on the heels of Voss.

By the final kilometre Kallfelz had picked up the pace and Voss needed to do a huge sprint to get to the front, as the two moved ahead of the pack. The encouragemen t for the Kiwi was deafening as Voss finally caught up to Kallfelz and passed her.

Happy birthday to us Ten years ago, the first Cambridge News rolled off the printing press, hitting letterboxes across town. The August 1 offering – a 24-page offering of local news – was put together in the garden shed of larger-than-life founder Mark Nogaj.

Mark said before the launch, he painstakingly canvassed businesses in town to see if a second paper was warranted in the town. The answer was an overwhelming “yes”, so Cambridge News - then Your Cambridge News - was born. Mark had the paper for almost seven years, moving it from a fortnightly to a weekly paper shortly before selling it to Kim Pritchard in 2015.

Kim then continued to build on the success of the paper, in turn selling it to current owner David Mackenzie in February 2017. Since then, David has made improvements to the paper, including bringing on an editor in September and changing the masthead and overall design shortly afterwards.

Ten years on, Cambridge News is normally 36 or 40 pages every week, but still has the community at the heart of everything it does. The paper would not be here without the support of local readers and advertisers, and David is excited to see what the next 10 years will bring for Cambridge News.

Through the years: The original masthead said: ‘Your Community. Your Community Newspaper”, and Cambridge News will just keep focussing on that.

Looking back on our birthday

By Sophie Iremonger I’m delighted to see Cambridge News reach its tenth birthday this month. It’s been a long and exciting road since Mark Nogaj started the paper back in 2008 – and I’m proud to have been a part of it since January 2014.

Sophie Iremonger

I have to say it was a little daunting as a fresh-faced journalist, not long graduated from Wintec, when I jumped in the deep end at Cambridge News, realising on my first day that I was in charge of filling the entire newspaper with editorial, all by myself.

Thankfully with my roots firmly set in Cambridge, I had many family friends, school friends, friends of friends and other acquaintances I’d made in Cambridge over my life to help me with news tips and ideas, and pretty soon I got into the swing of things creating content for the paper. I got to know some of the local clubs and schools, and they began sending in updates and stories to share. Now with more editorial staff on board, we can’t always share their stories

as frequently as we used to, but we do our best each week. I’ll always be grateful to them, and to Mark, for helping me get going in the world of media.

Mark moved on to other media pursuits in early 2015, at which point Kim and Celia Prichard took over the reins and helped earn the paper the Frank Veale Memorial Award for Most Improved Newspaper (class 1) at the 2015 Independent Better Newspaper awards held in 2016. I like to think I played some part in that as well.

Then our current owner David Mackenzie took over in early 2017 and provided me with the much-needed support of Viv Posselt and Steph BellJenkins, and later Claire Castle, our editor. With the beefed-up news team, we’ve been able to refine and improve our editorial

content even more and have so much fun getting out and about in the community to share your stories.

As the longest standing staff member, I’ve seen a few things change over the years; switching to a weekly paper, dropping the “Your”, changing a few faces and increasing our story count, but the aim has remained the same: providing Cambridge residents with the best, brightest and most important news stories we can.

I look forward to seeing how we can improve in the years to come and seeing how my home town continues to grow in the process.

Thank you, Cambridge for sticking with us over the years, and for your ongoing support into the future.

Cambridge News’ owner, David Mackenzie, is looking forward to seeing what the next decade holds for the paper.

10 Years in Cambridge 2008-2018: Quite a decade for Cambridge

By Viv Posselt

A single decade isn’t much across a town’s 150-year lifespan, but in Cambridge’s case, the years 2008 to 2018 have bordered on exceptional.

Growth has become the buzzword of the day.

The population 10 years ago was around 15,500; today it’s closer to 20,500 and is predicted to increase by a further 25,000 by 2050.

Cambridge’s population has more than tripled in 50 years.

While that may be the envy of many, it brings challenges in terms of meeting increased residential, industrial and commercial needs, and has prompted a move by local government and other strategists to “future-proof” Cambridge. The crux of that is to find a way to embrace burgeoning numbers without losing our “indefinable charm”.

In response, the town has expanded outward over the past decade. New housing developments have sprung up on both sides of the river. The St Kilda subdivision sprawled out towards Maungakawa and Norfolk Downs nudged a key link road, while Cambridge Park mushroomed over on the Leamington side.

More land has been made available, and other developments are planned.

Outlying Whitehall and Maungatautari Schools

have closed, but other schools have added new classrooms to accommodate increased rolls as the population booms. On the business side, new blocks have popped up in the town centre, providing additional accommodation and commercial/retail space. A large development nearing completion is Lakewood Cambridge overlooking Lake Te Koo Utu. More central residential space is being offered through Rutherford Park, a planned gated development in Williamson St. Former Cambridge Chamber of Commerce CEO Tania Witheford said the challenges of such growth include massive infrastructure investment, affordability, parking and general access to town, safe passageways, and the availability of appropriate space for new and emerging business.

New business in the region is going well, she said. “Waipa District Council, like many other councils, have their work cut out for them to invest in tomorrow.”

Growth aside, probably the biggest change over the past decade was the opening in December 2015 of the Cambridge section of the Waikato Expressway. The prospect of it brought the naysayers out in their numbers, but recent figures show that not only has the town survived the ‘bypass blues’ but appears to be thriving.

Free now from the tiresome queues of cars in transit, local retailers say customers now find

With a combination of entertainment and shopping, the Cambridge Autumn Festival’s carnival day has gone from strength to strength over the past decade. Photo by Michael Jeans it easier to access their businesses, and greater numbers of Hamilton workers now live here because of the faster commute.

Visitor numbers are also up, as are pedestrian numbers. Roger Gordon, who spent the last four years heading up Destination Cambridge before his recent retirement, said two keystone events had had considerable impact during his tenure - the opening of the Avantidrome in 2014, and the opening of the Cambridge section of the Waikato Expressway in 2015.

Cambridge’s reputation as a great place to live, work and play was further enhanced, he said, by the establishment of the Future Cambridge Vision Group, the Chamber of Commerce’s Love

Cambridge retail group, and the morphing of Cambridge Information Inc into Destination Cambridge Inc. While the past decade has seen an increased number of families settling here, Cambridge is also home to a growing number of retirees. The past decade has also seen a flurry of international events come to town – and one high-profile royal visit.

Top that with the continuing impact of Cambridge’s reputation as a centre for high performance sport, and its reputation as an equine centre, and as Roger says: “No wonder Cambridge is one of the fastest growing provincial centres in New Zealand.”

Lake Karapiro has cemented itself as a focal point for community activity over the past 10 years, playing host to the Stragglers Charity Car Show and a raft of other events.

10 Years in Cambridge

Sports boom in Cambridge

The Maadi Cup at Lake Karapiro continues to draw massive crowds every second year, alternating the school rowing event with Twizel in the South Island.

By Sophie Iremonger

Cambridge has grown in leaps and bounds since this newspaper was founded ten years ago.

We’ve added countless champions to our reputation and seen a number of excellent sporting facilities and events established, so it’s safe to say our community and economy has benefitted hugely as a result.

Our brand “Town of Trees and Champions” has been in place since around 2003, when Rosemary Hill, a member of the Cambridge Information Centre Incorporated committee, recommended adding “and champions” to our town slogan.

Later, Waipa District Council adopted the brand “Waipa Home of Champions” after three of the four medals earned by New Zealanders at the

2004 Olympics were secured by Waipa sports people – the Evers-Swindell twins and Sarah Ulmer.

Rowing NZ moved to Karapiro in 2001, and in 2009 its current facilities and support structures were established for the 2010 World Rowing Championships, as well as the Sir Don Rowlands Centre being built that year. Since then we’ve seen a huge uptake in rowers in our town, both elite rowers moving here and our own locals taking up the sport.

Cambridge High School and St Peter’s have both seen massive increases in students taking up rowing and cycling, as well as other sports.

Ten years ago, CHS didn’t have to run trials for students to make a boat for rowing competitions, and no full-time support staff were required.

It’s all changed since then, especially in the last five years, with around 60 students taking up

the sport, now with head coaches and rowing coordinators in place.

With cycling growing hugely in Cambridge over the past decade Cambridge High School has also seen its number of registered cyclists boom from half a dozen students eight years ago to now around 60.

The number of students taking up rowing and cycling has continued to grow at St Peter’s too, as well as basketball and other sports. Both schools see huge value in the various sports hubs and facilities being based in Cambridge and support their student athletes who aspire towards high performance.

With the Avantidrome opened in April 2014 by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Cycling NZ moved its headquarters into its current offices at the velodrome. Since then it has benefitted all aspects of the community, not just sports professionals, with public programmes such as the community trikes group helping those with injuries or disabilities to regain their strength and independence.

It hosted the Track Cycling World Cup in 2015 – which will return in 2019 – attracting 7500 spectators over the three-day event. The World Masters Games and Oceania Track Champs hosted at the velodrome last year also attracted hundreds of visitors to the town, in addition to the regional and national events it hosts each year.

“We have seen Cambridge go from strength to strength,” said Tania Witheford, former CEO of the Cambridge Chamber of Commerce, looking back at the past decade. “There is absolutely no doubt High Performance Sport has boosted and strengthened the local economy with additional shots in the arm each time a national or international event is hosted in Cambridge.

“Similarly the recent opening of Canoe Racing NZ’s facilities at Lake Karapiro puts another

jewel in our crown. … We have seen community festivals evolve, encouraging participation from right across the community… And Cambridge Raceway has just secured the Harness Jewels for 2020, Equidays is now an established and is a growing event at Mystery Creek.

“Statistically we know that events are major economic contributors to the region; Maadi Cup, Waka Ama, UCI Under 21’s, to name a few. … It’s great to look back and see where we have come from. Now the focus must be on the future.”

Now with the Pathway to Podium programme established for our budding local athletes, as well as Cycling NZ’s national performance hubs, and free community assets such as the Te Awa River Ride cycle path, there’s no doubt Cambridge’s sporting excellence will continue to grow over the next decade. We look forward to delivering those success stories to you along the way and looking back on them when we celebrate our next miles.

10 Years in Cambridge Kotare Downs – growing Inspiredby2 – bringing the Cambridge landscape colour to Cambridge On the north side of Cambridge close to all levels of education, from pre-school to Cambridge High, Kotare Downs is a new subdivision comprising 56 sections. While perfectly positioned for families and ideal for those seeking to future-proof their children’s education, Kotare Properties sales manager Bob McLocklan says there has been interest in the development across all sectors. “We’ve fielded inquiries from young families right through to the 50-plus market.

The lock-up-and-leave aspect is proving very appealing.”

Due for completion mid 2019, the modern housing estate at 100 Swayne Road lies just

five minutes from town. Covenants are in place to protect the looks and integrity of the subdivision, however, there is nothing extraordinary about them. “It’s all pretty standard,” says Bob. The construction of a noise-reduction swale and cycle track extension demonstrate the developer’s commitment to creating a quality environment.

Kotare Properties had huge success with Cambridge Park, and are delighted to be involved, once again, in the growth Cambridge. The town’s growing population places a demand on housing and Kotare Properties is addressing that need.

Kotare Downs housing development

Inspiredby2 evolved when Linda Fisher, an experience merchandising supervisor, and her daughter, Chrystal Connolly, a qualified florist, decided to merge their skills. Linda, a long-time local resident, saw the opportunity to buy Cambridge Flower Boutique and take the business to a whole new level. Retail and floristry seemed a perfect fit for Cambridge.

Located at 63 Victoria Street, Inspiredby2 is an enhanced florist shop carrying a specialist range of giftware, a selection of pot plants and a new stand of pots.

The store’s many new products, fresh new style of making flow er arrangements, and seven days of trading adds to the town’s boutique shopping experience.

And if customers can’t choose from the contemporary bouquets in store, or if they have something specific in mind, the team of talented florists

will prepare a unique bouquet for them.

The beautifully made-over store has a relaxed cheerful ambience and is staffed by a friendly team who provide personalised service. A local and regional delivery service is available. Inspiredby2 does its own deliveries around Cambridge in their wellknown flower car. Deliveries outside the Waikato are made via the Interflora network to any place in New Zealand or globally.

Established just over a year ago in Tirau with Steve and Rachel Mathis and David McGuire, and more recently, trainee Simon Anderson, Rural and lifestylesales.com Ltd is set to grow.

Working initially from an off-street office, which set the foundations and confidence for the business, it now has a presence at 29 Main Road. The only real estate office in Tirau, it has a distinctive presence with its charcoal and green colouring and signage.

While the name of the company is indicative of what it does, in the smaller centres Rural and lifestylesales.com Ltd does sell residential homes because it is a lifestyle

away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

With a definite shift southwards, buyers are recognizing the value that they can buy in the southern Waikato. “Tirau is a thriving small town with a strong positive heart,” says principal Richard Anderson.

Established six years ago in the rural town of Feilding, the six-strong sales team there sell farms up to two hours from their base.

“This gives us a big geographic spread in the lower North Island,” says Richard.

“Tirau is a natural fit for us, and for many of the reasons Cambridge News has been successful, we identify with our business.”

Grinter’s Funeral Home – The Clock Workshop – keeping the country ticking there in your time of need Roger Jennings, aka The Gentleman Horologist, has been a watchmaker all his working life. Apprenticed at 16, Roger learned the trade in the UK with the British Horological Institute. He studied at the school of watchmaking and silver smithing in the early seventies before moving to New Zealand in 1973.

Some years later, Roger and his wife Barbara opened Jennings Jewellers in Cambridge, which they owned for 22 successful years.

The business made an impact right from the start, winning the Top Shop title in its first year.

A change of lifestyle saw the couple sell the shop and open The Clock Workshop. The business is home-based on their property at 179 Te Miro Road. More recently, Roger and Barbara announced the opening of the home-based Clock Cabin, selling new and pre-loved clocks. The charming cabin, built from recycled timber and joinery, nestles in a picturesque setting. Both the cabin and workshop are open most days but it’s advisable to call for an appointment.

As one of only a few fully qualified horologists in New Zealand, Roger’s expertise is sought by people all over the country. He’s had a customer drive from Arrowtown to bring his mercurial barometer for repair. Another customer travelled from Russell with a wooden clock. Roger also commutes to jobs,

if necessary. He offers a free local collection and delivery service.

His extensive experience makes him sought after for clock, barometer, watch and pearl strand repairs and restoration. “Watch batteries are fitted while you wait and water tests are done the same day,” says Roger, who encourages customers to browse The Clock Cabin while they wait. Eftpos is available and all work is guaranteed.

The Jennings adopt a customer-comesfirst policy. They have been supporting Cambridge for over 27 years and are very passionate about the community and their work. For more information visit www. theclockworkshop.co.nz

10 Years in Cambridge Fairview Motors – giving Giltrap is on the back to the community Case (IH) Long-standing Cambridge News advertiser, Fairview Motors Ltd, has had an association with the community newspaper since the outset. It all started with a good deal when original owner, Mark Nogaj offered the vehicle dealership a very competitive package. “We've been happy with the service over the years and stayed loyal,” says branch manager, Glen Bain. “It's always been an easy process with our ads and there have been no hassles.”

Fairview Motors Ltd has a 21 year history in the town and Glen has been branch manager for 20 of these years. He's seen

rapid growth in Cambridge and a change in the public's vehicle buying preferences.

The dealership offers a wide range of new Ford vehicles in addition to Mazda, which it acquired five years ago.

A huge selection of quality used vehicles is also available through the Fairview dealership network, and the one-stop shop service department is equipped to handle all makes and models.

Fairview Motors Ltd values the support of Cambridge residents and, in turn, gives back by being a strong supporter of community sports clubs, charities and local industries.

10 Years in Cambridge Cambridge Jewellers – a Tuscany Road – always gem for Cambridge in fashion Andrew and Katrina bought a small jewellery store six years ago but three years later moved to larger premises to become one of the largest jewellery stores in the country. The shop carries more stock than the average independent jeweller.

The couple leave for Antwerp mid-September on their fifth diamond buying trip. “With about 84 per cent of the world’s rough diamonds passing through Antwerp’s diamond district, it is a huge opportunity for our customers to get something very special that we would not normally find in New Zealand,” says Andrew.

About 80 per cent of the diamonds are purchased to order. The remainder are shop stock to fulfil needs of customers still wanting a hand-picked diamond but having missed the pre-orders.

The store’s friendly, knowledgeable team includes an experienced on-site jeweller and they enjoy interacting with customers and finding solutions to their needs. Andrew and Katrina love Cambridge and its people. “Most clients are local and we never forget that,” says Andrew.

“We do our best to support the community.”

NZ nationwide jeweller of the year 2015, Cambridge Jewellers, owner Andrew Haultain.

Putaruru’s popular Tuscany Road fashion boutique attracts customers from all over the North Island, including Cambridge, Taupo and Wellington.

After more than 23 years trading, Tuscany Road has fine-tuned its range of clothing and accessories. The store stocks quality labels and is always on the look out to enhance its range.

Buyer Sandy Hart is soon to attend a large fashion expo in Melbourne. “I’m going to source some really nice formal and after-five wear.”

Tuscany Road is a stockist of Banana Blue, an Australian designer brand that specialises in natural fabrics, including merino and linen.

The well-designed garments, which tend to have an asymmetric look on the hanger, become completely transformed once worn.

“Our Danish line Soya Concept is also very popular and well priced,” says Sandy. “And Vassalli also goes down well as the New Zealand company produces clothing to fit our shapes.”

10 Years in Cambridge Windsor Nissan – 30 years servicing Waipa Family-run Windsor Nissan has been servicing the Waikato and Waipa region for over 30 years. The dealership, which is often referred to as the Home of Navara, has enjoyed a long association with Cambridge News. “We’ve been with the paper since day one,” says dealer principal, Ross Dodds. Windsor Nissan’s loyalty to the independently owned community newspaper has remained strong due to the paper’s professionalism, competitive pricing and market enthusiasm. “It’s a good venture and we like the fact that

Cambridge News is privately owned and locally operated.”

Windor Nissan is a familiar site on Queen Street. The business has an extensive history of supplying vehicles to locals and the greater region, and supporting their motoring needs through a huge range of new or used vehicles, parts and service.

“We congratulate Cambridge News on its 10th anniversary and look forward to an ongoing relationship,” says Ross. “We value our association with the paper.”

Cambridge Homes has fielded a lot of inquiries from locals wanting to secure a site. The appeal is in the smaller section sizes, the quality freehold homes with outdoor settings, the secure setting and the proximity to town.

All homes are design and build, fitting with an overall theme. They include a mix of single and two-storey dwellings. Most have river views. They answer the needs of buyers looking for a low maintenance, lock up and leave property.

Cambridge Homes offers its congratulations to Cambridge News on its 10th anniversary.

10 Years in Cambridge Kaz – design, brand, web. Betta Electrical – true to All about Cambridge the community Founded by Karen May QSM in 2002, Kaz is a do-it-all graphic design business situated in the heart of downtown Cambridge. The company has been associated with Cambridge News throughout the paper’s 10 year journey. “We’ve definitely seen it grow over the years and there has been a massive improvement in editorial content and design since David (McKenzie) took over.”

Kaz favours Cambridge News because it’s locally owned and committed to updating the community with Cambridge news and happenings. Karen, also big on community, her passion about local business and business people was recognised last year with a Queen’s Service Medal.

The company gets behind various local organisations and initiatives. “We’re a business that believes in supporting and giving back to the community that support us,” says Karen. “We love to see local people and businesses thrive and flourish in Cambridge.”

Communication is key to the success of Kaz. The company’s small professional team prize building a warm rapport clients and the Cambridge community.

One of Cambridge News’ early advertisers, Steen & Morrow Betta Electrical has enjoyed an ongoing relationship with the community paper over the years. The locally owned and operated business was keen to support the paper from the get-go. “We’ve stayed loyal to Cambridge News because it works. People read it,” says Betta Electrical co-owner, Chantal Grim. “The team are very nice, helpful, and always provide good service.”

Like Cambridge News, Steen & Morrow Betta Electrical is a home-grown business. Locally

owned and operated for more than 80 years, it began as Steen & Morrow, a master electrician business serving Cambridge, Hamilton and the wider Waikato.

Over the years, the business evolved to include high-quality electrical repairs, installations and appliance sales trading under the Betta Electrical banner, but still privately owned.

Given the ever-growing global corporate environment, Chantal believes it’s important to remain local, loyal and true to the community.

10 Years in Cambridge Cambridge Real Estate – market leaders

Webb & Wood Accountants Cambridge accounting firm Webb & Wood has been advertising with Cambridge News since the paper’s early days. Over the years, the business has featured in various articles, been involved in advertising, and even had a column.

At one stage of the paper’s evolution Rollo Webb wrote a regular column to answer accounting questions. “We’ve always had a good relationship with Cambridge News,” says Sue Webb.

Webb & Wood Accountants has had a 25 year presence in Cambridge. The team’s local knowledge and expertise continues

to provide value for money to clients and help businesses and farmers understand the importance of cost/benefit to their ventures.

Originally operating as Rollo Webb & Associates, the firm changed name some five years ago when it took on new partner, Mike Wood, who worked in the practice.

The business was originally home-based but growth necessitated two moves, the last being to the high profile site at 94 Shakespeare Street.

The team at Webb & Wood Accountants would like to congratulate Cambridge News on its 10th year anniversary.

The crew at Webb & Wood

Cambridge Real Estate Business Manager Suzanne Kirk says “the company has been advertising with Cambridge News since it started. Initially, it was more ad hoc, but over the past four years Cambridge Real Estate has made regular commitments. “As the paper grew and its popularity increased, we recognised the marketing advantages in having regular slots within Cambridge News.”

The level of service is what impressed Cambridge Real Estate. “Cambridge News came to us offering opportunities and tried to work with us,” says Suzanne. “We appreciate the one-on-one customer

service.”

Since opening in February 2007, Cambridge Real Estate has grown significantly, expanded its premises and doubled its rental division portfolio. The company holds the biggest market share in Cambridge, a town with a total of 12 companies with real estate services. As market leaders, the company is innovative, has fresh marketing ideas and sets the trends for others to follow.

“We’ve seen an enormous amount of change in Cambridge over the past 11 years,” says Suzanne. “The way the town has grown has been phenomenal, and companies like us and Cambridge News have grown with it.”

Fifteen years ago Barbara founded Holmes & Co, a lifestyle clothing store whose core range is Australia’s reputable R.M Williams brand. Other fashion labels are also available.

“I believed R.M. Williams would suit the town

and that has proved to be the case,” says Barbara, who advertised in the first edition of Cambridge News. The store has such a good following that it not only serves locals, but caters for visitors all over the country, and has its own online shop.

Holmes & Co prides itself on offering quality lifestyle clothing. Made from superior fabrics, the garments are designed to withstand the rigours of every day use, while also providing a professional and stylish appearance.

Cambridge Tiles has over a 20-year history in Cambridge and since purchasing the business in April 2016, owners Julie and Paul Atherton have not only expanded the showroom but also the range of tiles, consumables and accessories. The couple have a friendly approach and deliver a very personalised service. Choosing the right tiles for your interiors can be difficult. There are several key things to consider and this is where the Cambridge Tiles team can assist.

by Alys and John Briggs. The couple had a great love and knowledge of antiques and were famous for their quality stock of Georgian furniture, long-case clocks, Georgian drinking glasses, antique pewter and a wonderfully flamboyant collection of cranberry glass. After John (Johnnie) Briggs passed away in 2007, Jutta Mark took over the shop and relocated from Duke Street to the north end of Victoria Street.

Although many antique shops around the country are closing, Cambridge antiques are alive and well. “Customers are happy to leave the motorway and visit our beautiful

town, with its great choice of antique shops,” says Jutta. Good quality stock still attracts serious collectors. They come from all over the country and overseas to visit Alys Antiques, where time has not stood still and the standard of quality is as high as ever. Alys Antiques is a members of the NZ Antique Dealers Association.

The shop also sells fine art, specialising in English and German original prints, oil paintings, watercolours and bronzes.

Debbie Simes, owner and operator of Footloose Shoes Cambridge, decided to open her store in Cambridge due to the town’s uniqueness. Following her dream of having a business, Debbie launched the store in 2011 believing that the town’s small community aspect would be great for business. “Although Cambridge is growing, it is still very much a small community-oriented town and is a great place to do business.”

Footloose Shoes offers customers a range of high quality footwear across top brands including Diesel, EOS, Minx, Rollie and Hogl, among the collection. And with jewelery, scarfs and designer handbags also on sale, customers can team up accessories with their new shoes.

In her eight years of business, Debbie has seen the town rapidly grow, with many people from Auckland and overseas relocating to the rural community.

Debbie believes the key to doing well in business is to look after your customers and be involved in the community. “Our great team do this really well.”

For the Cambridge business community to keep thriving, and for people to keep coming to the town, Debbie says it’s important to keep the town’s unique boutique shopping experience intact.

Mitre 10 Mega – building trade and relationships Cambridge Mitre 10 Mega continues to go from strength to strength. The store has the loyal support of local builders and is the preferred supplier for a large number of tradies.

The business has been part of the Cambridge landscape since 1971. Originally established as Cambridge Timber and Hardware specializing in pre-cut and pre-nail, the store operated successfully as a local trading centre for over 30 years.

When Stephen Deverell and Brendan Lafferty bought the business in November 2012, the change of ownership brought fresh ideas, a new level of enthusiasm and significant growth under the Mitre 10 Mega banner.

Stephen and Brendan were also key drivers of a state-ofthe-art new frame and truss factory, which opened last year in Hautapu, They have strong ties to Cambridge and believe relationship building is an integral part of their business.

A regular Cambridge News advertiser, the one-stop shop for hardware products, DIY essentials and builders’supplies store values its association with the independently owned community newspaper.

If there are eggs in the house there’s a meal in the house. Relatively inexpensive and packing a healthy punch with high-quality protein, essential vitamins and minerals, eggs help maintain muscle strength as well as a healthy brain and eye function.

Versatile and quick to cook, eggs are nourishing household basic.

Eggs should always be returned to room temperature before use.

This prevents shells cracking if they are boiled, or curdling when

To separate eggs Masterchef style, break an egg into a (clean) hand and allow the white to drip between your fingers into a bowl. If using a whole egg, I prefer to break it into a small bowl then add it to the recipe. This way you can pick out any small pieces of shell.

When poaching an egg I break it into a demitasse coffee cup and

Simmer for 5 minutes then add the black beans. Simmer for another 5 minutes.

Students at worldwide leadership summit Three St Peter’s School students are attending a summit at the Student Global Leadership Institute at Punahou School, Hawaii. Having applied and qualified for the event, Year 12 students Jonathan Khalil, Brooke Houston and Margaret Wise are attending the summit this week, which focuses on growing leaders with a global perspective.

Although the summit is only two weeks long, the programme takes place over the course of a year, so the students will continue to work on their selected project during their Year 13 year at St Peter’s.

During the summit students participate in workshops, discussions and field trips that help them develop social-action projects suitable for their home cities, and the collaborative style of leadership needed to carry them out.

Each group is expected to build a lasting legacy for the school. To do this, they need to research a theme and come up with a viable project to bring back and develop at school.

Teacher Gina Boone, supporting the students in Hawaii, said they were working hard.

“The students have been thinking about their project a little more closely over the last few days, panning out a few ideas,” she said. “They meet with a mentor who helps guide them onto the path of success, and it sounds like they are forming some good ideas.”

The St Peter’s students who attended the course in 2017 have already implemented Wellness Week at the school, which proved popular with students and staff.

Bridge club supporting English learners

By Jane Stearns, Cambridge Bridge Club The growth in population and different nationalities in Cambridge has seen Cambridge Bridge Club take the initiative to aid integration within our community.

The club is offering bridge lessons to those who do not have English as their first language. Students are taught by a qualified English Language Partners home tutor with support from Chinese, Japanese, French, German and Dutch speakers. Students can enjoy a taster of the game on Friday mornings in August from 9.30am to midday. The taster sessions are free and will help students with their conversational English as well as learning the mind sport. Eight keen students are signed up already. They come from China, Japan and Korea. If you have a neighbour who may be isolated because of the language barrier, the club is asking you to use this opportunity to reach out to them by passing this article to them. For information regarding bridge lessons for people who do not speak English as a first language, contact Jane Stearns on 07 823 5040 or email janelawrence50@hotmail.com.

An over-the-top satire on spy movies, which seems to be delighting the date crowd with laughs, action and entertainment. Audrey (Mila Kunis) and Morgan (Kate McKinnon), two thirty-year-old best friends in Los Angeles, are thrust unexpectedly into an international conspiracy when Audrey’s ex-boyfriend shows up at their apartment with a team of deadly assassins on his trail. Surprising even themselves, the duo jump into action, on the run throughout Europe from assassins and a suspicious-butcharming British agent, as they hatch a plan to save the world. Also stars Sam Heughan.

The Disney Classic Film Festival continues with another timeless family triumph. A young deer named Bambi joins his new friends, a rabbit named Thumper and a skunk named Flower, in exploring his forest home. As a boy, he learns from his doting mother and his father, The Great Prince of the Forest, that there are dangers in the open meadows where hunters can spot the animals, and he meets a beautiful young doe named Faline. As Bambi grows up, he learns that there is tragedy as well as beauty and joy in his forest world and on the path to adulthood. The animation - the gorgeous, pencil-drawn Impressionistic renditions of the rhythms of the woodlands - makes you wonder if modern animators haven’t been spoiled by computer graphics. Your only chance to see it in a theatre as it was meant to be seen.

It cannot be praised highly enough.

Woodall victory at Cambridge Classic

By Sophie Iremonger The Cambridge Golf Club hosted 120 of the country’s top amateur players over the weekend for the 46th Classic Builders Cambridge Classic.

Cambridge’s Jordan Woodall, 19, was the leading player throughout the tournament and went on to win overall, securing his place in the top 10 of the NZ Order of Merit rankings.

“These are the moments I practice for and to see it pay off makes this win all the better,” Jordan said.

It started out with a career-best opening round of eight under par 64 on Friday, followed up on Saturday with a superb 67 to set up what proved to be a winning four-shot lead. His four-shot victory was over Hawkes Bay’s number-one Mako Thompson, with Aucklander Jang Hyun Lee another shot back in third.

The women’s division saw Auckland’s Ela Grimwood defeat Tauranga’s Alanna Campbell by two shots after both had played outstanding opening rounds of eight and five under par respectively.

A local highlight was the first par round of 72 played by Cambridge junior Ella Cockburn in the second round, good enough to make the championship cut by one shot, and to win the women’s net overall.

The tournament was originally meant to be 72 holes, but heavy rain on the final day forced the competition down to 36. Despite the best efforts of club staff, play was finally abandoned mid-afternoon Sunday after a torrential downpour.

“With a large number of club volunteers involved, albeit in a rain shortened event, this year’s tournament once again proved to be a very successful event,” said Cambridge Golf Club manager Geoff Pitman.
