Farewell procession for top cop A procession of honour wound its way through town on Thursday, as Cambridge farewelled longstanding police sergeant (retired) Gordon Grantham, who died from liver cancer on December 28. Gordon retired in April last year, and died peacefully surrounded by his family at Waikato Hospital.

Travelling down Victoria St at lunchtime, the procession of police, Gordon’s family and the volunteer fire brigade continued across the high-level bridge, left onto Cook St, right up Shakespeare and then on to Gordon’s funeral at Mystery Creek. People gathered on footpaths and traffic islands as the procession passed by, remembering a man who contributed so much to Cambridge both professionally and with his community work.

The two fire trucks split off down Duke St to take the low-level bridge, while Gordon and his escort continued on their way, joining up with them over the bridge.

The fire siren sounded when the procession was at Lamb St, so the fire appliances had to race off to attend a rolled ute on Taotaoroa Rd. The volunteers had their gear on the trucks, fire chief Don Gerrand said, so they were able to get to the scene of the crash quickly.

“The ambulance was already in attendance and the occupants out of the vehicle, so our trucks were able to come back to the service,” Don added.

See pages 8 and 9 for Gordon’s obituary

A tree blocking Hamilton Rd caused traffic to be diverted during Friday’s storm.

By Claire Castle The storm that smacked into the country on Friday did its fair share of damage in Cambridge, causing 11 fire brigade callouts and resulting in some households losing power. The

storm, which brought high winds and heavy rain within 24 hours of making landfall on Thursday, took down a number of trees around town and littered the road with debris. It was rubbish day in some parts of Cambridge, so the high

winds also sent plastic and paper recycling swirling around, coming to rest in gardens and gutters.

At around lunchtime, two large branches came down on Hamilton Rd, requiring attention from clean up crews.

Cambridge newsroom update And just like that we are back. Christmas, as usual, went much too quickly and like most people I could have done with at least another week off. But here we are, raring to go in 2018.

The sad news came through over the break that retired Cambridge police officer in charge Gordon Grantham had died. I worked with Gordon a couple of times over the years – once as a reporter doing the police roundup (he told me off, politely of course, for reading his notes upside down while I was sitting at his desk) and again as part of Violence Free Waipa, where I got to know him better. He was a solid, decent man and very much a person you’d want around in a crisis, but it wasn’t until his funeral that I found out about all the community things he was involved with. It was quite mind-boggling. Gordon’s death also led to the first bit of trolling we’ve had on our Cambridge News Facebook page, when someone thought it was OK to put a derogatory comment on our post telling people he had died. There are times to do things and times not to, and I was shocked that someone would use this as a platform to air a grievance. It was upsetting to the people who cared about him, and completely out of order.

I think that sometimes people forget that there are real humans reading the vitriol they spew out online, and those humans have real feelings. Might be a good thing to remember going forward, I reckon.

Spark store rammed

By Claire Castle It was a case of déjà vu for Cambridge, when another store in town was ramraided in the early hours of New Year’s Eve. Thieves drove a car through the shopfront of the Victoria St business around 4am, smashing the frontage of the shop to gain access.

Cambridge Police Acting Sergeant Felicity Cook-Jones said that a White Nissan Cefiro was used in the raid, and has yet to be recovered. “The three

offenders fled the scene in a Subaru Legacy that had been stolen from Cambridge and were apprehended after a police pursuit in Hamilton that finished in Enderley. They have been charged with Burglary and Unlawfully Taking a Motor Vehicle. One has been remanded in custody and the other two offenders remanded on bail to appear back in the Hamilton District Court on the January 16. All of the property taken in the ram raid was recovered in the stolen vehicle and has since been returned to Spark,” Sgt Cook said.

Ram-raiders drove their car into the Cambridge Spark store on Victoria St.

Storm wreaks havoc Continued from page 1

Traffic had to be diverted down Bryce

St as the road to the roundabout was blocked.

Other roads were also

blocked while debris was being cleared.

The sub-tropical low

A number of trees around Cambridge sustained damage in the storm.

wreaked havoc around the North Island, leading to flooding and king tides, and causing a tree to fall and crush a woman in Rotorua. Closer to home, it also led to a flurry of offers of clean up help on social media, and prompted one woman to bring muffins and lollies for the volunteer fire brigade to enjoy after the spate of callouts.

Waipa Networks’ chief executive, Adam Fletcher, said the storm resulted in 288 electricity network faults logged in the area.

“Our fault number received more calls during the storm than it received for the whole month of December” he said.

This number was just the number of faults logged, with the number of customers who lost power higher than this but unknown at this stage due to the scale of the storm and the number of outages across the region.

Power was restored to all but a handful of customers by early Monday morning.

Some properties were left isolated while the customers organised electricians or contractors to carry out repair work on site first, Mr Fletcher explained. “We would like to thank our customers for their patience while we worked to get the power back on” he added.

“We also want to say a big thank you to our staff, many of whom came back early from Christmas leave and worked in atrocious conditions, and contractors who opened their businesses when we needed help with materials or repairs to our own equipment”.

Quickfire News Water alert still Level 3

Despite the recent torrential rain, the town’s water alert level is still set at 3, meaning sprinklers are still banned. Tony Hale, Manager Water Services at Waipa District Council, said that the rainfall over the past week, coupled with people heading away on holiday, has meant that demand has decreased in Cambridge and given our water treatment plant the opportunity to catch up.

However, based on trends in previous years, demand is expected to increase in the coming week as everyone returns from holiday and business returns to normal. “Traditionally we experience peak demand in January and February; because of this we will remain on Water Alert Level 3 restrictions and will continue to monitor the situation closely,” he said. * * * *

Mystery helicopter overhead

Some residents in Leamington and Cambridge East were left puzzled on Saturday night after a there was a loud bang followed by a helicopter flying low overhead, possibly shining a searchlight onto houses below. Police have confirmed it was not a police helicopter, and were unable to shed any light on reports of the incident, which happened at around 10.40pm. * * * *

Centre Court nuptials

Janine Thirlwall, former Cambridge resident, and her fiancé got married on the centre court at the ASB tennis arena on New Year’s Eve. Janine, who grew up on a farm in Cambridge, and Feleti, who grew up in Tonga, beat more than 25 other couples to win the Game, Set, Matrimony ASB Classic competition to find New Zealand’s biggest tennis fans who wanted to tie the knot.

The couple said the event is always a highlight and Feleti has volunteered at each of the last seven tournaments. More than 120 family and friends joined them in Auckland for their big day, and former world number 2 Agnieszka Radwanska helped to officiate the ceremony. Congratulations, Janine and Feleti! * * * *

WW1 Commemoration Fund open

Applications are now open for Waipa projects commemorating the centenary of World War One. Financial assistance is generally set between $200 - $2,000, but larger applications may be considered.

Projects must be occurring between February 2018 and December 2019 that mark the centenary of WWI, with commemorative projects that benefit the community.

Applications close on February 16, 2018 and will be reviewed by the Waipa District Council’s Strategic Planning and Policy Committee who will decide on allocation. * * * *

Rubbish back on track

After a few weeks of delayed service, Envirowaste has advised the rubbish collection schedule will return to normal from next week. Rubbish in some areas of Cambridge has recently been collected a day behind schedule, even accounting for public holidays. A spokesperson for Envirowaste said the delays were a combination of having two drivers away and a truck breaking down, but that everything should be back on track next week.

Waka Ama returns to lake

By Claire Castle Next week will see an influx of waka ama paddlers and supporters, as the annual event gets underway at Lake Karāpiro.

Women will outnumber men by around 200 for the sprint nationals, which will see 3260 competitors battling it out on the water. The youngest out on the water will be five, with the oldest paddler registered being 76.

This year, organisers are

introducing half lanes for all straight races (250m and 500m), which is in keeping with standard practice at World Sprint Championships.

It will also allow for further growth in the number of competitors at the event, with more paddlers being able to progress beyond heats and into the semi-finals and finals.

If you want to head out to Lake Karāpiro to watch the paddlers, the Waka Ama National Sprint Champs will commence with a pōwhiri on Monday at 8.30am, with racing

kicking off at 11am.

The event will finish at around 4pm on Saturday January 20, and will be followed by a party at the Don Rowlands Centre.

The party is open to the public as well as the paddlers, and will feature performances by Annie Crummer, Che Fu, Betty-Anne Monga and Jason Kerrison.

For more information about the racing and how to buy tickets to the party, visit www.wakaama.co.nz.

Fuel bunker project begins FIGURE 3.3.1

By Sophie Iremonger

Repair work is underway on the walking track overlooking the Te Ko Utu Lake carpark as part of the fuel bunker restoration project launched recently.

The Cambridge Community Board announced recently that the remains of a World War II fuel bunker on the side of the Te Ko Utu bank would be upgraded, approving up to $1000 to improve the historic site.

The remnants of the fuel bunker, the concrete pump house and the tunnelling that led to it, were sealed shut with a concrete wall in the 1970s and are now covered with graffiti.

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 removed in 1950.

As part of the project, story boards will be erected at the site to explain the history. Community Board member Julie Epps confirmed the content and construction of the story boards would be discussed in the New Year with input sought from Bruce Airey, Manager Community Facilities from Waipa District

Council.

Epps also confirmed that gates for the site are currently being painted – constructed by C&R Developments as a donation to the community.

Ichi Ban number one

By Claire Castle Many people went sailing between Christmas and New Year, but only one Cambridge resident can say they were aboard the boat that won the Sydney to Hobart yacht race.

Anthony Merrington, whose yachting nickname is Youngster – ironic, as he was one of the older sailors on the boat, he said it’s stuck from his teenage years – was a watch leader on Ichi Ban, the boat that took out the Tattersails Cup in the iconic yacht race.

Line honours went to Comanche in the race after a protest penalty dethroned Wild Oats XI, but the Tattersails Cup is decided by a handicap system, meaning all boats have a chance to take it out and be crowned overall winner, Anthony explained.

“The handicap is made up by the physical dimensions of the boat, it is measured and weighed, and a speed is determined. It’s a relatively fair system,” Anthony explained.

It means that you don’t have to be a billionaire to win it, rather it’s about being the best boat within your size and handicap range, he said.

Ichi Ban took just one day and 20 hours to sail the 1,170km course which normally would take 2.5 – 3 days to navigate. “It was a record for a boat of our size,” Anthony said.

Not bad, considering they didn’t get off to an ideal start, blowing out their main spinnaker on December 27. “We had time and distance on the guys behind us, but then we blew the sail and had to put up a smaller, more conservative sail.”

Realising they were not going to win that way, the team decided to go for a larger sail. “We chose the biggest one that was safe and held on and hoped,” Anthony said. It’s a case of balancing speed with reliability, otherwise teams run the risk of pushing their boats too hard and not finishing, he explained.

The 52-foot Transpacific boat’s owner, Matt Allen, has been trying to win the race for 28 years and the team came close last year.

“Last year, with the same team on a very similar boat, we were winning coming into the Derwent River and

then we ran out of wind,” Anthony said.

There was a heart-stopping five minutes this time around when they hit a calm patch in the dreaded Derwent, but fortunately the wind picked up and victory was theirs.

It was Anthony’s 14th or 15th time competing in the race, and the third time he’s been on a winning boat.

Weather conditions are notoriously treacherous in the Bass Strait, which separates Tasmania from the mainland, because the stretch of water is shallower than the surrounding ocean which creates shorter and steeper waves, sometimes up to 7 meters high.

The crew of 15 work in shifts up on

deck for six hours and down below for three during the race. “Each year it’s the last time but then two weeks later I’m back into it,” Anthony laughed. “For me, it’s a massive team high.”

“All the guys always say you might go through 24 hours of terrible sailing, but you only remember the good stuff…it’s a human being’s way of blocking things out.”

He’s done the Volvo Ocean Race three times and sailed for Swedish yacht Victory Challenge at Valencia in 2007, but for now, Anthony reckons he will stick to shorter yacht racing, fitting it in around family and work, keeping his childhood passion for sailing alive.

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.

CAMBRIDGE CHAPTER MEMBERS

Come along and join us for breakfast or if you’d like to know a little more about the group give Angelique Gellet (President) a call on 07 827 5768.

BNI Cambridge meets every Wednesday morning - 7am-8.30am at Resthaven Community Centre, Vogel Street, Cambridge.

More than 450 people turned out at Mystery Creek last Thursday to pay their respects to former Officer in Charge and Sergeant of Cambridge police, Gordon Grantham, who died on December 28. Husband to Diana for nearly 50 years, dad to his three daughters, Rebecca, Amanda and Emma, and “Poppa Plod” to his grandkids Jorja and Braxton, Gordon was devoted to his family, and loved fishing, travel and animals. He was an expert with the iron, master of the BBQ and by all accounts kept his garden in such pristine condition that any weeds would be too scared to grow there. The turnout at his funeral was also testament to the lasting impact Gordon had on the Cambridge community since he and

his family moved here in 1990. As eulogist Kay Gregory noted, Gordon was a person who spent his whole life trying to make the world a better place. He always carried two hankies, she told the assembled mourners, one for himself and another one just in case someone needed a cry. “That’s the kind of person he was,” she said.

His daughters remember him as a devoted dad, attending dance classes and sporting events. If they were participating in something, he was right there supporting.

He even taped bathroom taps on his feet to join in their tap dancing – there was a photo to prove it. And he took tremendous joy and pride in his recent role of “Poppa Plod”, throwing himself into that as he had done with his own children. Daughter Emma

Gordon Grantham was in charge of Cambridge police for 27 years, and retired last April. credited him with teaching them values, morals and compassion.

Gordon Grantham was just 17 when he went to Trentham to train as a police officer, and it was at a dance in Wellington back in 1969 that he met Diana,

Among a list of achievements too numerous to include in full, from 1978 – 1981 Gordon was responsible for staff on two long-term undercover operations, credited with securing 135 arrests (all convicted) and effectively taking out the top tier of drug dealers in Wellington.

Operations Fonz and Lollipop are still recognised as being the most successful undercover operations of their kind. He had some hairy moments working undercover during the 1981 Springbok tour, getting intelligence about the protests, “legging it” down the road when violence between police and protestors erupted at one of the demonstrations he was at, Ross said.

Gordon was the chair of the Wellington Police Association for seven years, and played a key role in the aftermath of the Mikhail Lermontov sinking in the Marlborough Sounds in 1986. In charge of 63 police staff and 22 Russian embassy officials processing the survivors at the Wellington wharf, Gordon made sure that Continued next page

A young Gordon Grantham graduating from Police College in 1970. all 742 passengers and crew were interviewed and transferred to accommodation in Wellington in just five hours.

No mean feat, given the 4am start.

Gordon was also responsible for undertaking a security review and making recommendations for improvements (all implemented) of Government House and the Prime Minister’s residence, which included having to work out a way for Governor General Sir Paul Reeves’ dog to get through the internal doors.

Gordon was so thorough in the security overhaul, Ross said, that he was interviewed by the SIS

because they thought he had “overstepped the mark”. But that was just Gordon, if you were going to do something, you did it properly.

Then his career brought him to Cambridge in 1990, where he took up the role as Officer in Charge until his retirement this year. Ross recalled how Gordon phoned him not long after moving here to ask for his professional opinion about a crime he was investigating. A local horse breeder had complained to police that the grass on their berm had been scythed and taken away. Quite a far cry from his fast-paced police work in Wellington, Ross noted with a chuckle.

As well as his police career, which saw him awarded a Queen’s Service Medal for services to crime prevention and community policing in 1993, Gordon worked tirelessly to improve the Cambridge community.

Dave Simes, who served in the police with Gordon for many years, spoke about his legacy of service to the community.

Dave said that Gordon, “Granni” Grantham, derived enormous satisfaction

from seeing others succeed and was a natural goalsetter before that was even a thing. At the start of each year, he said, Gordon would look for a need in the community and then set about doing something to address it. From being one of the founders of Cambridge Lifeskills, setting up Cambridge Victim Support with wife Diana, receiving a Blue Star Sapphire for his services to Rotary, making sure vulnerable elderly people had firewood for the winter, and much more, Gordon did most of his community work in his own time. “Granni” would leverage his position (as Officer in Charge) to get momentum and support and then step back once a project was established, Dave said.

He played the part of Santa in the Cambridge Christmas Parade for years, and Gordon was continually looking for opportunities to build trust and confidence in police before that was a concept on the police radar.

In 2015, Gordon was also awarded the Rimmington Award by the Fieldays Society for his 20 years of contribution to the

event which he continued to support even after he retired, running the communications hub as a volunteer last year.

But despite his dazzling list of achievements, both professional and voluntary, it would be his empathy and kindness that Gordon Grantham would most be remembered for, Dave told the mourners.

He was, indeed, one out of the box and will be sorely missed by his family, friends and the Cambridge community.

We were lucky to have him.

Rest in Peace, Gordon.

NO SPRINKLERS HAND-HELD HOSING ANY TIME

LET’S GET BIKING TO SCHOOL! Biking is freedom, adventure, transport, sport, and recreation.

The number of children biking to school over the last few decades has rapidly decreased, meaning less kiwi kids are experiencing the freedom and fun of biking.

There has been many reasons for this, traffic being one, however luckily in our Cambridge community we have quiet streets, shared-pathways in parks and ways to avoid traffic so there are always safe routes to school.

Yet still, a lot of parents are not confident in allowing their kids to bike to school. Rebecca Foy, Sport Waikato’s Waipa District Coordinator was one of those parents.

“I was nervous about Gus (12 years) biking by himself, as not many kids do in Cambridge, but once I knew he was confident and competent at biking I anxiously let him go. I quickly realised that his bike gave him so much independence. He takes himself to school, cricket practice, to his friends, to the Avantidrome, and

to the market! It became pretty obvious that when Gus is on his bike, my community is looking out for him, as I often get messages from his friends parents when he has arrived at their house, or elsewhere. Cambridge is so small and flat it’s the perfect environment for kids to ride to school, to other sport activities, or to the dairy to get the milk!”

To prepare for Intermediate, Sport Waikato, Waipa District Council and Cycling New Zealand are running the “let’s get biking to school” programme in January for year’s 6, 7 and 8 kids. Summer is the perfect time to get biking and kids will learn how to safely ride on the road, and how to plan a fun but safe route to school.

BIKE, HELMET, COVERED SHOES AND DRINK BOTTLE

WHERE TO MEET: VICTORIA SQUARE PARK, OPPOSITE SPORT WAIKATO OFFICE, CAMBRIDGE 9AM-12 NOON

Brigade enjoys community support

By Claire Castle The Cambridge community showed its continuing support of the volunteer fire brigade, breaking all previous

records for donations at Liquorland’s annual gift wrapping station.

The station raised $840 in donations, some from people who weren’t even getting anything wrapped.

This was bumped up to “It was nice that people added. adding that “we do live in Don Gerrand agreed, a pretty good town.” $1000 by the store and think of the brigade,” he handed over to fire chief Don Gerrand on Monday.

The store’s association with the brigade started in the aftermath of the Tamahere coolstore explosion in 2008, in which firefighter Derek Lovell was killed. They began having barbeques after that to raise money, and have been doing the gift wrapping initiative for the last few years.

Co-manager Jack Gasnier said that it had Liquorland co-managers Adrian Walworth (left) and Jack Gasnier (right) present chief been a “real feel-good fire officer Don Gerrand (centre) with a cheque for $1000 raised at their Christmas wrapping station.

Ever wondered why some street signs are in capital letters and others aren’t?

Council’s Roading Corridor Manager, Bryan Hudson said that in 2012 the specifications for street sign blades – the bit with the writing on – was updated to make it consistent with New Zealand Transport Agency guidelines.

These guidelines use both upper and lowercase lettering instead of only capital letters on the blades. “Instead of replacing all the signs to meet the new specifications at a considerable cost, we are rolling them out gradually, only implementing the new standards when the existing signs need replacing. All new signs in the district follow the new guidelines,” he said.

It turns out there is a reason some street signs are in capitals and others aren’t.

Back to work blues The 111 Report Outside is good.

Get organised – you will feel less stressed if you plan your day and week ahead.

Avoid that frazzled feeling, make your lunch the night before, have your work clothes ready and then you will “breeze out the door…like one of those people in cereal ads, happy, confident and ready to take on the world,” the Mental Health Foundation’s Facebook page advises.

Although those results aren’t guaranteed, and you might be really annoying if you carry on like you’re on a cereal ad.

Also, they advise incorporating the Five Ways to Wellbeing at Work into your day – connect, be active, take notice, keep learning and give.

Do all of those things and it will hopefully take some of the edge off returning to work. Hopefully.

Are you back at work this week and struggling with the back to work blues?

Turns out, you are not alone, and it is actually a recognised condition. The Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand’s Facebook page has some tips to help you through your post-holiday slump: Think about what you have to look forward to and, if possible, plan your next holiday. Block out at least 15 minutes every day for yourself and do something you enjoy. Read a book, go for a walk, write a haiku – whatever you like to do, do that.

Plan activities with friends and family for after work, and make the most of the long summer evenings. Go to the park, have a picnic somewhere, ride your bike.

Time to stub out costly habit? on January 1, it’s not only health reasons prompting people to take another look at the habit. With a packet of 20 cigarettes now costing around the $30 mark, it is now out of the reach of many. As well as the increase in robberies of petrol stations and dairies over the past year, there is anecdotal evidence of an increase in the number of people foraging for cigarette butts in the gutter.

Last year, almost 500 Waikato smokers kicked the habit using the Once and For All Stop Smoking Service, which is a free service providing face-to-face support in

individual, whānau or group setting across most of the region.

As an extra incentive besides saving a truckload of money and doing a great thing for their health, the initiative will also give a $50 voucher to every person who is still smoke-free after four weeks, bumping it up to $300 for pregnant people.

They also provide free nicotine replacement therapy, which includes gum, lozenges and patches, as well as advice about other stop smoking medicines available.

Resthaven residents enjoy vintage Christmas rides

By Viv Posselt

Resthaven residents enjoyed a wander down memory lane just before Christmas when members of the Veteran and Vintage Car Club (Waikato) showed up to take them on a variety of rides.

Committee member Andy Hammond said the club’s local branch had been visiting Resthaven each month for some time, but had decided to make a little more of the December visit over the past couple of years.

“I had been wondering what we could do to make Christmas a little special for the residents here, particularly as it a wholly community-owned rest home. With the support of our members, we now visit just before Christmas and take the residents for a short ride around the village,” he said. “We spend only an hour or so at Resthaven, but we love it and so do the residents. Then we all head off to the Five Stags for our Christmas lunch.”

The Waikato branch of the VCC has about 800 members around the region. The local branch will hold an open day on February 25 at the Cambridge clubrooms in Maclean St.

BACK TO SCHOOL

Roto-o-Rangi students paying it forward Supplied by Roto-o-Rangi Primary School

Roto-o-Rangi Primary School ended the year by handing over their reverse advent collection to coordinator Dan Amosa of Inferno Gym. Each day for the last 2 weeks of the school year, pupils brought in an item of non-perishable food or toiletries which resulted in several large boxes being filled, which Dan delivered to the Salvation Army and Women’s Refuge.

The reverse advent – where items are added each day before Christmas, rather than treats taken out – is a great opportunity to teach children about charity, particularly at Christmas when finances can be extra hard, and they enjoyed being able to give back to others.

It was the culmination of a busy term which began with Agricultural Day in the first week, then a successful ERO review, and went on to include 3 athletics sports days, music concert, carols at the town hall and end of year prizegiving evening where Santa visited riding his John Deere bicycle.

The pupils (and ex-pupils) also really enjoyed dressing up for the Murray Ball tribute float in the Christmas Parade, which attracted a lot of attention with the mini Wals, Dave Dobbin soundtrack and real-life Dog and sheep.

This year happened to be the year for the triennial production, and the whole school worked hard to present “Pirates for a Day”, which received rave reviews from the audience.

Term 4 traditionally has a strong focus on the graduating year 6 pupils and this year was no different with the year 6 formal dinner, which includes parents and all school staff, a trip to the Avantidrome to have a go on the track, and the free-for-all water fight on the final day, when all the graduating students took great pleasure in ganging up on Principal Wayne Donnellan.

Creating meals that are healthy and delicious need not be time consuming, difficult or boring, especially with all the incredible fresh produce we have on offer in Waipa. With a few tips and a little planning, you can make nutritious, tasty meals your whole family will enjoy.

As a starting point include each day: 1. At least three servings of non-starchy vegetables per day. One serving is what fits in your hand, and for salads it is two cupped hands. With starchy vegetables (potato, yam, taro, kumara), one serving is a fist size.

2. At least two servings of fruit per day. Fresh, frozen or tinned are great ways to eat our servings of fruit and vegetables.

3. About six servings of grain foods per day, e.g. two pieces of toast for breakfast, a sandwich for lunch, crackers for afternoon tea and pasta at dinner time. Try to choose wholemeal, wholegrain or brown varieties in this category. Serving sizes: one fist or one cup of cooked rice, pasta, cereal, one slice of bread, four crackers.

4. One to two servings of meat or meat alternatives per day. A serving size for meat should be palm sized, the

thickness of your finger. The only exception is fish where it can be the size of your whole hand. Make sure to choose lean cuts of meat. Nuts are a great source of protein – preferably choose raw and unsalted nuts; a small handful is a serving. Beans, lentils and chickpeas are great sources of plant protein and are high in fibre.

5. Two servings of dairy products a day, e.g. 1C milk, one pottle of yoghurt or two thin slices of cheese is a serving.

6. Water is the best drink If you are trying to eat in a healthier way, the best tip is to start with making small changes: • Try including more water each day – start with just one extra glass.

• If you don’t eat breakfast, try to eat a piece of fruit and yoghurt midmorning.

• Leave the skin on your vegetables when possible.

Salad Days

“To make a good salad is to be a brilliant diplomatist — the problem is entirely the same in both cases. To know how much oil one must mix with one’s vinegar.”

Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) And what would be a salad without a good dressing? Boring!

Dressings can be light or thick, traditional or contemporary. And all add character to seasonal veggies or festive leftovers.

Dressings for crisp seasonal greens should be light

enough to just coat the leaves. There should be enough to create interest but not so much they wilt. Even a squeeze of lemon juice will enhance the appeal of greens. Add it just before serving.

It’s those hearty salads of chunky diced capsicums, pasta, root vegetables or cooked meats that

are better married with thicker dressings such as traditional mayo — maybe spiced with a little wasabi or chilli — or modern vinaigrettes containing a handful of chopped herbs or seeds and spices.

Whatever your salad combinations, keep them

cool. Store in the refrigerator up until just before serving. Or carry in a well-chilled chilly bin if taking outdoors. This helps prevent those nasty bugs and bacteria growing and multiplying.

FIVE-SPICE SUMMER SALAD Pomegranate seeds can be forked from their shells.

Pomegranate Dressing: 1 shallot, finely diced 3 tablespoons each: lime juice, extra virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon soy sauce 1 teaspoon sesame oil 5cm knob root ginger, peeled & grated 1 pomegranate Salad: 250g (2 cups) chopped cooked chicken or pork 2 teaspoons Chinese five-spice powder 1/2 cup each: cashew nuts, craisins, mint, coriander leaves 4 cups rocket leaves 1 chilli, sliced Combine the shallot, lime juice, olive oil, soy sauce, sesame oil and root ginger in a bowl. Halve the pomegranate and squeeze the juice into the dressing through a sieve to catch the seeds.

Shred the cooked meat and place in a dry, non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat. Stir in the five-spice powder then the cashews and craisins. Stir for 1 minute.

Place the herbs, rocket and chilli in a bowl and toss well. Drizzle with a little of the dressing and toss to coat. Top with the five-spice meat mixture and the pomegranate seeds. Serve with the remaining dressing. Serves 4.

CHILLED CHINESE NOODLES Add sliced hard-boiled eggs, cooked shrimp, diced ham or capsicums, if preferred.

250g Chinese egg noodles 1/4 cup each: thick soy sauce, sesame oil 2 tablespoons each: red wine vinegar, brown sugar 1/4-1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce 3 spring onions, thinly sliced

ASIAN QUINOA SALAD

Can be prepared several hours in advance. Add diced cooked meat if, preferred.

Asian Dressing: 1 tablespoon cashew nut butter or similar 2 tablespoons sweet chilli sauce 1 clove garlic, crushed 3 tablespoons maple syrup 4 tablespoons each: lime juice, soy sauce 2 tablespoons sesame oil Quinoa Salad: 1/3 cup quinoa 2/3 cup water 1 teaspoon sesame oil 1 cup frozen edamame beans 125g round green beans 1/2 red capsicum, thinly sliced 1 1/2 cup healthy herb/cabbage undressed slaw Whisk all the dressing ingredients together in a bowl.

Rinse the quinoa under cold water. Place in a saucepan with the 2/3 of a cup of water. Bring to the boil then simmer for about 15 minutes or until the quinoa is soft and the water absorbed. Stir in the sesame oil. Cover and stand for 5 minutes then fluff with a fork. Cool.

DISCOVER PUTARURU... 5 minutes from Tirau Exploring the Blue Spring and Waihou River

(formerly Marjories)

“A home away from home” Offering you and your loved ones a family atmosphere and quality care in the heart of rural Waikato.

We are family owned and operated, providing resthome and hospital care along with respite and palliative care.

Come in and meet us and talk to our friendly team about your care needs.

The Blue Spring on the Waihou River is a popular spot for visitors, just half an hour’s drive from Cambridge. Te Waihou Walkway, a 4.7km track (one way) with a 500m loop track takes visitors through wetlands and rolling pastures beside the Waihou River. There are small waterfalls, native bush and plenty of trout in the stream.

The water takes in the Blue Spring around 100 years to filter through the Mamaku Plateau, and is so pure that it provides around 60 per cent of New Zealand’s bottled water.

The walk to the springs will take around 1.5 hours each way, but if you want something shorter there is a walk to Blue Spring from nearby Leslie Rd that takes 30 minutes return.

The history of the Waihou River, as a multi-purpose focus for the people of the region, dates back to the time of the first human visitors. The river comes from as far

up as the Ngatira Marae, which significantly marks the eastern boundary of "Raukawa Ki Te Kaokaoroa o Pātetere" and therefore the northern boundary of the Ngati Raukawa.

It was a journeying place of King Te Wherowhero Tawhiao, the second Māori King of New Zealand, as it provided him with his main travelling route. The river gave him food and the flax was used for many purposes.

Also, Kahupeka, a Tainui tupuna, set off with her son shortly after her husband's death to wander around the central North Island.

On her travels, the Upper Waihou River was one of the main rivers that she and her son crossed while travelling from Pirongia to Te Aroha, and again from Te Aroha to Whakamaru.

Moving on to later years, the Edmeades family settled and began to farm the land along the Upper Waihou River in 1938. At this stage the river area was heavily covered with fern and ti tree, which was eventually cleared.

During these early days, war trenches were dug along the Upper Waihou River as a result of the war scare, but were covered in without ever being used.

The Waihou Stream is totally spring fed.

Water from the Mamaku Plateau takes anywhere from 50-100 years to reach the Blue Spring. Water flows from the spring at a rate of 42 cubic metres per minute (9240 gallons per minute). The water temperature of the Blue Spring is a constant 11 degrees celsius throughout the year.

The reason for the blue colour (and high visual clarity) of the Waihou River and its spring source is the high optical purity of the water. Pure water is intrinsically blue in hue because it absorbs red light leaving only blue and (some) green light to be transmitted to the observer's eye. Pure natural waters are blue to blue-green in colour because they lack light absorbing constituents and particles. Both particles and light-absorbing matter are efficiently removed during the long settlement time of spring water while in aquifers.

Cassidy gets European Tour status Supplied

Cambridge golfer Chantelle Cassidy (pictured right) who plays out of the Riverside Golf Club, travelled to Morocco last month to play in a rigorous qualifying series of tournaments to obtain her tour playing card for the Ladies’ European Tour 2018.

“The two courses that we played on in Morocco would be up with some of the best and toughest we have here in NZ. The first stage was a pre-qualifying tournament of 90 professional and amateur players, with the top 30 to progress to the final qualifying tournament. I played steady golf finishing 21st to make it to the 2nd stage of qualifying, this also gave me automatic entry into the lower tier Access Series of the Ladies European Tour,” Chantelle said.

“Obtaining a main tour playing card for 2018 was my main priority and I knew I would have to lift my game a little more to achieve this goal.”

The final qualifying tournament had a field of 120 players, made up mainly of 90 plus professional players with the top 60 players getting main tour status and 61 - 70 getting exemption into some minor main tour tournaments.

“I played some good golf in the final qualifying tournament, but it was a 2 hole blow out in my 2nd round which cost me as my total was 2 shots outside the cut line after 4 rounds to finish in 65th position, which was disappointing but that is golf and you have to learn from those mistakes. I came back strongly to finish 3 under for the last 2 rounds, but not quite enough to get me there.” Chantelle added “I desperately wanted to tick the next box, mainly to give me the belief I can mix it with the professional players on the pro circuit

and also for the friends who have supported me both through sponsorship and messages back here in the Waikato.”

Chantelle added that the dream of playing on the main tour was not totally lost, as her 65th finishing position has placed her in a category which allows her play in some of the minor tournaments of the main tour.

Chantelle said that although she has a casual/part-time job, professional golf is her primary source of income. So, for me to succeed and live my dream there is going to have to be a lot of hard work with plenty of practice, fitness and mental hardness because although some of it comes naturally it is the extra work you put in gets you to perform on the top stage more consistently. Playing well on the European Tour and getting up the Order of Merit will at a later date will give me exemption to play on the lucrative LPGA tour in the USA…that is my ultimate goal, but I will take things one step at a time.”

Golf report

Submitted by Cambridge Golf Club

Veteran golfers turned out in force just before Christmas to celebrate the end of the golf season and enjoy a Christmas luncheon with the hope of a win in the multi-ham raffle.

Mike Worth lead the 57-strong field home with a very good score of 46 stableford points from Duncan MacGillivray on 45, with Kevin Cubis and Dick Thompson both on 44 points.

In the ladies’ section, Maria Cubis kept her best game for the last of the season with a very good score of 42 stableford points, followed

by Carolyn Langhorn and Jan Mackenzie both on 41 points. There were six players who shared the total cash prize of $112 for the two’s competition. Lyall Keyte scored a two on the 6th hole, Lesley Donovan and Duncan MacGillivray on the 8th and Bruce Moncur, Tony

Stoner and Morris Cattley on the 13th hole.

Lyall Keyte won the Men’s competition for nearest to the 13th hole and Duncan MacGillivray “capped-off” a great day by winning the longest putt on the 18th green.

For the ladies, Karen Bodle was nearest to the 13th hole and Linley Wallace won the competition on the 18th hole.

A great day was enjoyed by all, with everyone taking home a prize to finish the season.

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle In a brand-new Jumanji adventure, four high school kids discover an old video game console and are drawn into the game's jungle setting, literally becoming the adult avatars, they chose.

What they discover is that you don't just play Jumanji - you must survive it.

To beat the game and return to the real world, they'll have to go on the most dangerous adventure of their lives, discover what Alan Parrish left 20 years ago, and change the way they think about themselves - or they'll be stuck in the game forever, to be played by others without break.
