Six months in a leaky building By Claire Castle
D
ESPITE the massive construction effort underway, life goes on for yoga studio owner Sarah MacDonald and the other tenants at 60 Victoria Street. The plastic-wrapped building dominates the main street, with most people under the impression that it’s earthquake strengthening work, Sarah said. In fact, the early 1980s era building is a leaky building, and has been for years. With multiple owners – 10 people own 13 units in the building – it’s been difficult to organise the repairs, which Sarah’s landlord Ivan Imiolek described as “massive”. Another owner, Peter Bryant, who is on the maintenance committee of the body corporate, said the remedial works will cost around $1.5 million and will be divided up according to the size and value of the units. Peter owns the top floor, now the site office, and will be up for a third of the cost, the owner of the first floor will be up for another third, with the rest split among the units on the ground floor – each
Remedial works at 60 Victoria Street have dominated the main street since July. footing the bill to the tune of around $100k each. The complex 80s brick and cedar façade with aluminium joinery will make way for new double glazing and tiles, a new roof and guttering that can handle the maximum projected rainfall. It’s going to be much better, and Sarah is glad she has decided to hang in there. But it has all come as a bit of a shock. Unaware of the problem until three weeks after she had moved in back in the start of 2015, Sarah
was alarmed when the building was cleaned with high pressure hoses and the whole front section of her new $10,000 yoga floor was coved in dirty puddles. All the windows were closed. “It was pretty obvious then”, she said. Problems were ongoing, but she had no idea of the upheaval that was to come until a phone call in February this year telling her work could be starting in March. “I thought it was just going to be replacing the windows,”
Sarah said, shocked when she was told it was a 26week project that would require her to surrender the premises. The March start date came and went, as did April, May and June, with work finally getting underway on July 20. Sarah is grateful that she didn’t have to vacate the building entirely in the end, because if that was the case, she said, her business would have closed down. Continued page 3

It’s been a busy week here in the newsroom, and we are stoked at all the positive feedback we’ve been receiving about our new look. Thanks for all your support! Hopefully by the time this paper hits your letterbox we will know who is running the country. Thankfully Winston appears to have picked up on the collective eye-rolling of the nation and has got cracking a lot quicker this time, because frankly nobody wants a repeat of what happened in 1996. We will no longer have to speculate if Jacinda Ardern is indeed a proper woman, given that she turned up with gingernuts and chocolate wheatens to the meeting with NZ First. I hope this will not be a trend for her future children, as turning up
at a shared lunch with packet biscuits will no doubt scar them for life. Thankfully, here in Cambridge, we do not have to scrabble around for news or rabbit on about biscuits (except for just then) – there’s a lot going on in our town. This week we have a bit of a building focus, with a story on the massive works going on in the main street as well as our Inside Out feature. Even if you don’t know your hammer from your handsaw, I hope you will find it interesting. I also hope it will stop raining. Seriously. Have a great weekend and enjoy your paper, as usual we had a lot of fun bringing it to you. Except for that day we ran out of biscuits.

It was a fabulous and exciting event, made possible by the support received, so ‘thank you’. Rebecca Foy, Sport Waikato * * * * Re your article on car damage while parked. I’m surprised it doesn’t happen more often. The narrow streets in Cambridge East, for example Princes St, King St and Victoria St, all should have parking only on one side. It is a real slalom ride on school days dodging the cars on both sides. Victoria St is a real problem for the entrance to our town so narrow you can’t turn right without a jam. Thank goodness they lowered the signs on the roundabouts so I can see oncoming traffic. Chris Hollis

the construction has had a big impact on her business. “We’ve had to drop a number of our popular classes during the renovations and numbers are down in others,” she said, admitting that she initially thought about “walking away”. However, she is pleased that she hung in there, and said that her staff and students alike are looking forward to the new-look studio that will be the end result. Peter agrees that both tenants and surrounding businesses have been affected by the noise, scaffolding and the loss of parking caused by the remedial work. Extra parks out the front for construction vehicles were negotiated with council, and the scaffolding around the building is cantilevered off the building itself
rather than coming from the top of neighbouring buildings, he said. The work had to be done, otherwise we would be left with an unusable eyesore in the middle of town, he added. Once the remedial work has been completed, expected to be in February 2018, Peter said there is a

Passchendaele 100 years on
By Sophie Iremonger
This week marks the centenary of one of New Zealand’s darkest days – the Battle of Passchendaele in Belgium, World War 1. On Thursday October 12, 1917, a massive contingent of New Zealand soldiers was pinned down in thick mud by German machine gun fire at the Battle of Passchendaele. With rescue efforts limited, the soldiers were left exposed, with many succumbing to their wounds or drowning in the mud. Within hours, 843 had been killed and 1,860 wounded. It was the greatest loss of life that New Zealanders have endured in a single military battle, and in the following three months a further 114 men died from their injuries. One of those men was Cambridge local Private Cyril Entwisle, who died at a hospital in
France on November 3, after being wounded at Passchendaele. He enlisted at 19 and died at 21, and didn’t have any children, but his nephews John and Ron Entwisle still live in Cambridge. John’s grandson Richard Entwisle, also a Cambridge local, has almost completed a history degree and said it was great to be able to use his researching skills to learn more about his heroic ancestor. “Myself and the whole family are proud to have had someone in our family who fought for our country, even though it was pretty horrific at Passchendaele. He made the ultimate sacrifice.” Private Entwisle is now buried at the Boulogne Eastern Cemetery in France. Another of the 676 men and women from the greater Cambridge area who volunteered to serve in WW1, a Tirau local,
Private Willie Rose, was also mortally wounded in the battle. “He was killed at Passchendaele,” explained Brigadier Jon Broadley, a Cambridge local and member of the NZ Defence Force. “His body was not found unfortunately, he has memorials at Tyncot Cemetery in Belgium and his family memorial is at Hautapu Cemetery.” Due to the battle conditions at Passchendaele, some of the soldiers’ bodies had sunk deep into the mud by the time relieving forces reached them. “In terms of lives lost in a single day, this remains the worst in New Zealand history,” Broadley said. “To have such dramatic losses from a population of about 1 million at the time meant that many families and communities in New Zealand were touched in some way by the tragedy of the battle.”
On that fateful day in Belgium one hundred years ago, a preliminary attack by Australian and British forces on the German-held Passchendaele village was not successful in clearing the way for New Zealand troops to assault and take the village. “The artillery hadn’t cleared the (barbed) wire, all they’d really done was create more holes and mud for people to get stuck,” explained Broadley. “So it meant that the advancing New Zealand soldiers were caught up in the wire, out in the open, in daylight, and were basically sitting ducks for the German machine guns that were sighted to cover the wire… It just became a slaughter really.” Broadley was asked what Passchendaele means for today’s younger generations, and what they can learn from it. “It’s about recognizing the sacrifice that people made
to give us the freedoms that we enjoy today, and realising that we should be endeavouring to solve things peacefully,

Our town a beautiful finalist By Sophie Iremonger
Cambridge’s unique beauty has been recognised at a national level, being named a finalist in the Beautiful Awards, run by Keep New Zealand Beautiful. Making the top three for Most Beautiful Large Town, alongside Feilding and Kerikeri, Cambridge was recognised for its excellence across all award criteria; environmental action, community beautification, heritage conservation, community engagement, historical beauty and tourism. “Cambridge’s natural
beauty is inspiring and the work the community does in maintaining this beauty is fantastic! Not only this but it’s great to see that it’s becoming such a centre hub for locals and tourists alike,” said one of the judges, Heather Saunderson. “Whether we win the award or not, I’m delighted we made the shortlist of three,” said Josh Easby, a Cambridge local who entered the town in the awards. “Considering it was our first time entering I’m really pleased Cambridge has made the finals,” said Josh, a former member
of the Destination Cambridge Board. “We realised Cambridge had never won the award for one main reason, the town had never entered!” “I’ve always loved the town so writing the competition submissions was easy - I just had to get my enthusiasm for Cambridge across to the judges,” said Josh, who has been a full-time local for the past 8 years, having travelled the country with his wife Wendy looking for the perfect place to settle. With help from local organisations ranging from the Waipa District
Council to the Cambridge Tree Trust, the group compiled a compelling case for Cambridge. The judges said they were particularly impressed by the calibre of the supporting photo slideshow, taken by local photographer and volunteer Michael Jeans. “When Josh approached me to illustrate our entry we were drawn to photos made over the past couple of years that are uniquely Cambridge,” said Michael.
“Our trees, of course, our architecture and special places, but also our place in the Waikato landscape, coupled with the buzz and the vibrancy of ‘us’ enjoying our growing town.” “The calibre of entries for the 2017 awards has been very high, which has made judging extremely difficult,” said Saunderson. The awards evening is being held this Friday, October 13 in Hastings.

Cambridge Pool season opening delayed Due to the recent excessive wet weather, the 2017 – 2018 seasonal opening of the Cambridge Pool has been delayed. GoWaipa chief executive, Matthew Horne, said the current water table levels are too high to allow the pool to be prepared for the upcoming season, which was scheduled to open on Saturday October 21. “With the water table levels so high the risk to empty the pool is too great and could damage the integrity of the pool structure which may result in no
facility at all.” It is understood that the pool would cave in due to outside pressure if it was drained, and the surrounding ground will have to dry out before the pool can be prepared for the next swimming season. “GoWaipa will continue to monitor the water table levels and are committed to having the facility operational at the first available opportunity. “Updates will be posted via our GoWaipa website and Facebook page on progress and once a new opening date is confirmed,” Mr Horne said.

Community Board update Visionaries Cambridge report
Tēnā koutou, hello to all, the CCB gave out $28,000 in community grants through the annual grants application process, supporting over 30 local organisations. We have put preliminary submissions into the longterm plan based around a car park between the village and the base of Maungakawa Hill and more cycle ways linking people into and across town. We are also supporting the sealing of the carpark at Gaslight Theatre, as this is now well used by a variety of people. The Board is still expecting a parking review to be completed before Christmas, giving Cambridge a clear strategy forward in dealing with our increasing population and the ability to access the CBD. We remember the Battle of Passchendaele in 1917, where New Zealand soldiers lost over 800 lives in one day. The Board will lay a wreath in their memory at the cenotaph at 9.00am on October 12th. The playground survey completed by Council has come back with the majority of people wanting
a destination playground for the town. Council will consider this during the Long Term Plan process. By far the biggest playground outside of town used by Waipa residence was the Hamilton Lake destination playground. ‘No trucks’ signs are being erected along Queen, Victoria, Alpha and Dick streets. The council is working to get trucks away from the CBD area. Alternatives are being looked at also on the outskirts of town. There is concern from the community that in two recent fatal car accidents a drone has been seen flying over the scenes. Apart from being highly inappropriate and illegal it has made communication at the scenes more difficult because of the noise the drone creates. If you know this person can you please draw their attention to the nuisance this is creating and ask them to cease. September saw a record number of new house consents, 36 in total, averaging $460,000 per house and totalling $16,561000. Total consents
for all types of building work in Cambridge was 74, totalling $24,155,000. The total value of consents in the Maungatautari Ward was $1,966,474 and for the Waipa District $32,334,172. Our CCB meetings take place on the first Wednesday of each month starting with a Public Forum at 6.00pm, where members of the public are able to come and speak.

Billboard winners announced
Two lucky winners have been selected from more than 300 entries in Waipa District Council’s billboard competition. Maddy Williams and Phil Pell, both of Cambridge, were the lucky recipients of a stunning photo printed on a large canvas. They had responded to a council competition which showcased eight stunning photos representing Waipa. The photos by Cambridge photographer Meghan Maloney, will be installed around the district’s 11 billboard sites in the next fortnight. Pell said the picture of Lake Te Ko Utu was his clear favourite. “I just love Lake Te Ko Utu, it’s always changing. No matter what time of the year it’s always different.” Phil and his family head down to the lake for walks
and enjoy the park with his daughters. “The billboard photos say a lot about the place we live in,” he said. Williams visits the Cambridge library every week. She saw the competition forms and entered, not thinking
she’d be chosen as a lucky winner. A stunning shot of the Kihikihi lavender farm was her pick. She was surprised and delighted when she found out she was a winner. “I was like, really? Wow! I picked this photo
because it’s really cool and it’ll go great in my room,” she said. Phil will hang his piece in the living room and Maddy in her newly painted bedroom. She specifically chose the lavender photo to go with the new wall colour.

Plan submissions flooding in FIGURE 3.2.1
More than 40 community projects have been put forward for potential inclusion and funding in Waipa District Council’s 10-year Plan. In July Council called on community groups to formally put up the proposals they wanted funded over the next decade. Forty-three proposals have been received. Strategic projects team leader Conan Magill said ideas had come in from a range of groups including local sports clubs, volunteer organisations and charitable trusts. “There are several requests to upgrade sports facilities as well as some road improvements. We’ve had proposals
to support economic development, cycleways and walkways and initiatives for art and history enthusiasts,” he said. “There have also been a couple of projects around community safety and social services.” Magill said the proposals would be put in front of the mayor and elected councillors who would consider them against other funding priorities. Work is already well underway to pull together the draft Plan which will guide spending and investment priorities in Waipa over the next decade. Once the draft 10-Year Plan is finalised in early 2018, it will be put to the community for
feedback. Final decisions, including what is and isn’t included, will be made by elected councillors in mid2018. * * * * Proposals for projects and potential funding were received from: Cambridge Brass Band, Pirongia Plunket, GB and NE How Trust, Cambridge BMX Club, Cambridge Road residents, Ngahinapouri Community Group, Waikato River Trails Charitable Trust, Ohaupo Community Sport and Recreation Centre Steering Group, Rangiaowhia Hall Society, Waikato Farmers’ Market Trust, Cambridge Heritage Charitable Trust, Club Kaha, Ngahinapouri Cricket Club, Cambridge Autumn Festival Trust,

Pre-European gardening unearthed Further evidence of an ancient Māori settlement at Tamahere was uncovered recently during expressway construction works. It added to an historical record which began in 2015 before excavations for the Southern Interchange began, when evidence of large scale pre-European kumara gardening was found in the deer farm opposite Cherry Lane. A second site was uncovered recently by construction staff opposite Bollard Road. Work stopped in the immediate area for two weeks while archaeologists investigated. They found evidence of small storage pits, a few larger storage pits, and small areas used for cooking, plus a small number of post holes, perhaps representing
small or temporary structures. The evidence was spread quite widely over a large area. Project Archaeologist Sian Keith said it was likely that the area had been used to store foodstuffs such as kumara. “This area was markedly different from the gardening area at the deer farm,” Keith said. “At the deer farm site there were a large number of small bowl-shaped pits, or puke, which were filled with sand and were for gardening, perhaps to raise kumara seedlings in the spring.” In pre-European times, Māori would locate deposits of course sand to mix with topsoil, to improve the drainage and growing conditions for kumara.

Scientific analysis of the soil samples removed will help to shed more light on the finding. “We didn’t find neat rows of postholes that would indicate formal buildings, so it’s unlikely people lived here. And we didn’t find any significant artefacts,” Ms Keith says. The investigated area is close to known pā sites. The information is being formally recorded and has been shared with local iwi as the work has progressed. Construction of the Hamilton Section of the Waikato Expressway was back underway last week.

Free tai chi in the park This week Sport Waikato supported the first class of Tai Chi in the Park, led by local volunteer, Jade He of HEALTHACU. “The weather was amazing and the spring leaves on the trees created a wonderful feeling of peacefulness,” said Rebecca Foy from Sport Waikato. “There were 10 people attending and all were new to the practice. The session demonstrated the wonderful benefits for mental health, balance and wellbeing.” Jade He is an acupuncturist who studied traditional Chinese medicine at Chan Xi University, and has practiced the art of tai chi since beginning at age 16
while at university and spent over 25 years in XiAn. During that time, she used traditional Chinese medicine theory to guide her tai chi practice and acupuncture treatment. Jade offers the therapeutic Tai Chi in the Park classes free of charge, held at Victoria Square opposite the Sport Waikato office on Dick Street, every nonraining Tuesday from 9.30am to 10.30am. Originating as a form of combat over 1,500 years ago, today tai chi is generally practiced as a gentle, lowimpact form of exercise which uses a series of movements to develop strength, mobility and flexibility. The opposite
of strenuous exercise, tai chi tackles tension and stress while improving body awareness. It’s great for people with joint problems because it can help strengthen connective tissue and improve circulation, as well as improving balance and posture. Tai chi has been shown to be particularly good for older adults, and studies have shown that regular practise of tai chi reduces falls in the elderly by up to 45%. To find out more contact Jade on 021 0292 8629, email jade@ healthacu.co.nz, or simply turn up at on Tuesday morning Tai chi teacher Jade He leading the first to see what it’s all about. All Tai Chi in the Park class on Tuesday. classes are free of charge.
Plastic not so fantastic any more By Claire Castle
Hot on the heels of the announcement by Countdown that they will phase out single-use plastic bags in their supermarkets by the end of next year, New World has announced that they will follow suit. A ‘BagVote’ revealed that customers overwhelmingly wanted New World to start charging for the bags, however they also discovered a desire among consumers to eliminate the bags altogether.
“Our customers also asked us to look harder at paper and biodegradable alternatives,” Foodstuffs, New World’s owner, said in a statement. Countdown’s Managing Director Dave Chambers said, “Now is the right time to take the lead, phase out single-use plastic carrier bags and introduce better options for customers.” Countdown estimates that their stance will remove around 350 million plastic bags from landfills and the environment.
Leamington FreshChoice manager, Helen McHugh, said FreshChoice supermarkets will also be phasing out the bags. Like Foodstuffs, however, they will be looking into alternatives to the bags. “While we are yet to specify a transition deadline for FreshChoice, we will be allocating a working group to actively source and implement alternative measures for single-use plastic bags to enable us to work towards a confirmed deadline,” said the
head of the FreshChoice Group, Robert Smith. “In the interim, we are currently taking part in a number of initiatives to benefit the environment, including compostable and paper bag trials, paper bags being used for all Click and Collect orders and recyclable meat trays are in use at all stores,” he said. All three companies have taken the position that charging for single-use plastic bags is not the best option, as the bags will still end up in landfills or elsewhere.

A SPECIAL PLACE OF WORSHIP Pukeatua’s War Memorial Church is one of only two such special churches in the whole country. The beautiful little place of worship was established in 1955, built by the small farming community of Pukeatua as a memorial and lasting reminder of those local young men who gave their lives in the two World Wars. Another similar war memorial church was built in 1954 in the tiny East Coast village of Tutira, 45km north of Napier. Both churches have historic building covenants over them.
fully furnished for a cost of £3,300 and opened debt-free on December 18, 1955 – a week before Christmas. An impressive number of dignitaries, led by Anglican Archdeacon J.D. Hogg, attended.
During World War I, 44 young men from Pukeatua served overseas with 12 of them killed in action. In World War II, a further 32 young men from the district saw overseas service, with seven losing their lives.
The names of those inscribed in the church for the 1914-1918 war are: Lieut. F. Brill; Lieut. E.S. Innes-Jones; Sgt. C.M. Rope; Tprs R.E. Hildreth; J.S. Sutherland; Pvtes E. Boyce; J.L. Houston; A. Hunter; H. Jemmett; J. Laurenson; M. Saunders; Rfmn P. Barren.
At the time the Pukeatua Church was built the district had no church and Sunday services were held in the local hall. The idea for a church for all denominations was first mooted in 1946 and was taken up with enthusiasm, with £500 pledged towards the building at the first meeting. A special Act of Government was required for the church to be built on a site that was vested in the local authority. It was completed and
The church seats just over 80, with two small vestries. Behind the altar are two brass plaques, each inscribed with the names of those who gave their lives in the two World Wars. Three pews were donated by next of kin.
Those who lost their lives in the 1939-1945 war are listed as: Sgt. Ob. D.L. Rhodes; L.A.C. K.G. Weal; Sgt. C.A. Graff; Cpl J.C. Donald; Pvt. R. McKee; Tpr. C. Woods. These days an Anzac service is held at the church each year and an Anglican church service is held every two months. The church is also used for local weddings and funerals.

All systems go at Mystery Creek Things are gearing up for the 7th annual Equidays horse show this weekend By Claire Castle
This year, the event is expected to attract a record number of visitors and exhibitors. Event manager Ammie Hardie said the ticket sales are tracking well, and they are expecting an increase on the crowd of more than 23,000 that attended last year. There are 206 exhibitors attending Equidays this year, which
is about the same as last year, however Ammie said they have a slightly bigger footprint this year with larger stalls being booked by some. It takes around 4 weeks to prepare Mystery Creek for the event, with weather conditions hampering progress this year. The recent persistent rainfall has also meant that there will be six sand arenas and three in grass, rather than
the usual five and four allocation. An estimated 3150 tonnes of sand, some of which is mined from Cambridge, is spread on the arenas – the grade and depth differs according to the type of activity it will be hosting. When it’s not in use, the sand is stored in an enormous covered trench on site for use the following year. It is regarded as one of the site’s assets, Ammie
said, with around 10% needing to be replaced each year due to run off from rain and incidental loss. Equidays will also be home to a 42 young people over the three days, participants in a youth camp. They will be able immerse themselves in the equine world and hopefully “go away and be inspired,” Ammie said. Education is a key focus of the three-day

event, with organisers preferring to get the coaches of international showjumpers along rather than the showjumpers themselves, so that New Zealanders have the opportunity to learn from them, she added. As far as the ‘must see’ events for Equidays, Ammie said the Isuzu D-Max Challenge was one of her picks, along with the Derby and the Top Talent
show on Sunday night. And for the first time this year, they are taking the show on the road afterwards, travelling down to Christchurch to give the South Island a taste of Equidays. The Canterbury Agricultural Park will play host to 59 exhibitors over Labour Weekend, including five clinicians, the Wilson sisters and Lizzy Green.

Artist’s home now her gallery
One of Cambridge’s foremost artists, Carole Hughes, opens her Queen Street home and studio this week as a gallery for her paintings By Viv Posselt
Carole’s bold and colourful works have found favour nationally and internationally through most of the 25 years she has been painting. Many of her works hang in corporate and government offices and in private homes around the world, while her online following brings in a steady flow of commissions. She has exhibited extensively throughout New Zealand over the years, but more recently has limited that to an ongoing display of her work at Cambridge’s Heritage Gallery and in Wellington. The decision to turn her Queen Street studio into another exhibition space allows her to make full use of her home’s unusual and light-filled rooms. To streamline the process, Carole plans to place a board at the top of her driveway when the studio is open, and asks those keen on visiting to call her beforehand. “I do work out of my studio at home, but there is a chance that people just turning up might find that I’m not there. It would be better if they called first.” Cambridge has been home to Carole for around 50 years,
and few who live in the town wouldn’t know her work well. Brought up in Hamilton, she trained at the Ardmore Teachers’ College and then taught both in Hamilton and at Cambridge Primary School. For a few years before she started painting, it was spinning and weaving that satisfied Carole’s creative urges. When she did pick up a brush, it was as something of a learning curve and more of a hobby. “I did paintings for friends … never really took it seriously at that stage,” she said. “But then someone asked if I would have an exhibition. I said OK, and all of the paintings in it sold.” From then on, Carole’s star rose quickly. She became recognised for her unusual style, and every one of her works – large or small - became infused with the character and colour that defines the artist herself. Carole started painting in the early 1990s, finding herself drawn to the bold brush strokes of the fauve art style. Over the years, she researched her favoured genre and experimented widely, continuing throughout to project her view of the world through paintings reflecting life in various parts of the world.
Many are strong, colourful images of simple street scenes in the quaint towns and villages of Europe, all delivered in chunks of colour with powerful suggestion displacing detail. Musicians are a favoured subject, she said. “I do a lot of work involving
musicians, mostly because I love their movement as they play.” Carole said she would be happy to show visitors around the different paintings displayed in her home and said she will talk about her style of painting to those wanting to know more
about it. “Not a lot of people paint in this style and people often find it interesting. I’d be happy to talk to them about that if they’re keen.” Carole asks that visitors please call ahead on 827 5727.

This Sunday the annual Pooch Racing is on at the Cambridge Raceway from 9am. Enter your dog in a 100 metre race- $20 per entry. Fancy dress and best trick competitions.
After coming down on hundreds of shows, the curtains at the Gaslight theatre are set for replacement. “The existing curtains are over 25 years old,” says Society President Colin Morley, “and are well past their ‘use-by date’. They are patched, worn and nunlikely to meet current fire retarding and safety regulations”. The Society applied to Pub Charity for
funds, as at $11,500 the new curtains cost are a significant capital expense. “We do not have that sort of cash available to us in available funds, so we have to rely on grants for large scale purchases,” Colin said. The hope is for the new curtains – measuring 10m x 3.6m – to be installed by the end of the year. The society has chosen a Hamilton supplier, Adena Theatre Supplies and Services, and hopes this
will speed up delivery. Colin paid tribute to Pub Charity, which contributed $9,000 towards the cost of the new curtains - expected to last another 20 years. The society operates out of the Gaslight Theatre, a heritage building in Alpha Street. They produce four shows a year – more details can be found at www.cambridgerepertory. org.nz.

FRIDAY OCTOBER 13, 2017
Remembering Graham Wrigley When Graham Wrigley died in mid-July, the light was extinguished on a ‘numbers man’ described by some as a bit of a larrikin. Graham’s passing on July 13, just a week short of his 80th birthday, left a deep sense of loss in Cambridge. He had been an integral part of the community for decades, not only in his professional capacity as a chartered accountant, but also through his involvement with
the racing fraternity, through golf, squash, tennis and his links with the Cambridge Club. More importantly, he was a family man – husband for 55 years to Sue, father and grandfather to four on both counts. A eulogy delivered by elder daughter Sarah at Graham’s farewell service at St Andrew’s Church
Sue Wrigley says this photograph – used on the front of Graham’s funeral programme – perfectly captures the twinkle in his eye.
Graham Dixon Wrigley 1937 - 2017
suggested he had “displayed some of the earliest road rage in New Zealand”, and she recalled the risk taken by any of the children should they speak in any other than hushed tones while the Saturday racing tips were coming over the radio. He was also remembered as the firmest of friends, a natural athlete, a man who loved to party, and a most mischievous trickster. “He was a real character … unbelievably funny,” Sue said, newly-returned after spending time with family overseas following Graham’s death. “He loved playing jokes on people … sometimes they were way over the top.” Graham’s was an irrepressible sense of humour that spilled easily into whatever environment he found himself. It is what created many of the memories shared by the crew at Accounted4 – the practice which until 2013 was known as Shannon Wrigley & Co

Ltd. Together with Jack Shannon, Graham was a founding partner of the practice. It was a status he held from 1963 until 2003, after which he continued as a consultant for a further five years. Throughout those decades, Graham cemented his reputation as a man of integrity. In the words of long-time colleague Grant Calvert, GDW - as he was known - was a larger than life character around the office … “a very outgoing gregarious person”. “Always fun, he treated everyone, whether a staff member or a client from any walk of life, with the same respect and genuine interest,” said Grant. “He was an old school accountant, skilled as an adder and subtractor of long columns of numbers by hand before the advent of calculators and computers. He was also a master of manual journals, ledgers and manually-prepared and typed sets of accounts. Graham was born and brought up in Auckland’s Point Chevalier, and it was while he was completing his accountancy qualification at Auckland University that he met Sue, then doing an arts degree. The couple moved to Opotiki in 1959, where Graham worked in an accountancy practice and Sue taught maths at Opotiki College. The couple married a year later in Auckland, and moved to Cambridge in 1963. The years since then saw them both embed themselves into the local community across a range of activities. It was only in the past few years – as Alzheimer’s slowly tightened its grip on Graham – that their involvement has lessened, and Sue is grateful for the efforts of their friends who patiently squired him around the places he loved to go. “It’s a very cruel disease,” she said. “He deteriorated very fast, and it took him from us long before he passed.” Sarah told those at Graham’s farewell that her father had been the first male in five generations to live past the age of 59 and said of her dad: “The world was more entertaining and amusing with you in it.”
Shining a light on your environment Recently, when visiting a friend who lives in a fairly new house, I noticed that he only uses one lamp beside the sofa to light the room. I asked why and was told, “that’s all the light I need”, and besides, the lights in the house are too bright! Every day we are in several different environments, and it is important that the tone of lighting matches these environments. Good lighting helps aid your health, temperament, and of course can make a place look amazing! When you go to a theatrical show or a concert, the lighting is a crucial element, and can make the show look just average, or stunning and memorable! So, what’s so different about your work place or home? Shouldn’t these environments look just as stunning? If you want to know more about great lighting solutions, give Stuart a call on 027 407 1263.

Halberg Games a real winner By Claire Castle
Three Cambridge boys were among the 146 athletes taking part at the recent Halberg Junior Disability Games in Auckland recently. Andrew Fairweather (9), Ben Jenkins (12) and CJ Takiari (19) made the trip to King’s College for the annual three-day tournament, which ran from October 6 – 8. Open to 8-21-year olds with a physical or visual impairment, the games were officially opened by the Governor-General, the Right Honourable Dame Patsy Reddy on Friday. And then it was ‘game on’ for the athletes, who were representing 12 regions. Andrew Fairweather, who has cerebral palsy hemiplegia which causes muscle and tendon weakness down his
right side, said he had a wonderful time at the games and was proud of himself. “It was really great, I was trying my best, especially in the 50 metres (run), when I fell over but I just got back up straight away and ran. That was the best thing - I was proud of myself,” he said. He also had the chance to go on a rowing machine, which he is keen to do again at next year’s games. Michelle Jenkins, mum of Ben (12), said he had a great time at the event and is also keen to go back next year. Ben sustained an incomplete spinal cord injury when he fell out of a tree at age nine, which means he cannot use his right arm and has a limp on his right side. But he did not let any of that stop him from giving it his all at the games, where he took part in a raft of activities
including archery, badminton, athletics, wheelchair basketball and table-tennis. CJ Takiari also competed, part of the Waikato wheelchair basketball team that won the competition, and he was also named MVP for the sport. Much to everyone’s disappointment the triathlon was cancelled due to bad weather, but they will all be back next year to give it a go.

Low Back Pain Craig Newlands has a Masters’ degree with a thesis on low back injury, and has published and contributed to articles on this matter internationally. Craig Newlands, Director Back pain is very prevalent, but there are many myths surrounding the condition. Scientific research has progressed and it is challenging widespread beliefs. It is now known: 1. Back pain is common and normal. More than 80% of people will experience an episode of back pain during their lifetime, and while this can be distressing and worrying, it is very rarely dangerous. Most people will recover reasonably quickly. 2. The back is NOT that vulnerable to damage Some people think the spine is inherently unstable and needs to be protected. This is incorrect and leads to fear, activity avoidance and disability. Common phrases such as: “Your joint/ pelvis/disc is slipped/out of place” promote this belief. However, scientific research has clearly shown that these structures do not go ‘out of place’ or ‘slip’. People in pain will often move differently giving the impression that something is out of place. 3. The back is designed for bending and lifting The back is designed to move and adapt to many activities. It is important to be conditioned to lift. The key thing is practice and let your body get used to different loads and weights. Avoiding activities does not help in the long-term. 4. Exercise is good and safe Exercise is helpful for back pain, and the best exercise is the type you enjoy. More than 30 minutes per day has the greatest health benefits, but any amount you can manage will result in benefit. 5. Back pain can get better Most people with back pain can manage it by staying active, developing a better understanding about what pain means and identifying the factors which are involved in their pain.

More trophies are coming to Cambridge Football Club after their successful winter season. Three senior players have been recognised by WaiBOP Football for their efforts on the pitch this season. First, team captain Patrick Woodlock has been named Player of the Year for the Loaded WaiBOP Premiership, the Waikato/ Bay of Plenty’s top football competition won by Cambridge for the second time in three years. Woodlock (29) led Cambridge to promotion to next year’s Northern League. He has been named Cambridge’s Player of the Year a record five times and he also won the WaiBOP award in 2015. Levi Clark (16) was named Player of the Year for the WaiBOP Championship, a competition also won by Cambridge this year. Clark has been part of the club’s youth teams that won the region’s U-15 and U-17 Youth Leagues in 2014 and 2015, and this season he became a key member of Cambridge’s
second team. He was also a member of the Hamilton Boys’ High School team that won this year’s national schools tournament. Peter Buesnel (24) was chosen by public vote as the Player of the Year for the Waikato men’s B division competition. He scored 30 cup and league goals this season, helping Cambridge to the final of the Waikato Cup. A fourth individual award might also come to Cambridge with first team forward Donovan Latham currently in the lead for the WaiBOP Premiership’s Golden Boot, having scored 20 times in the competition. While Cambridge’s schedule is complete, administrators were waiting for the completion of all Premiership matches before confirming the goal rankings. Meanwhile, the club has launched a new programme to help develop the next generation of players at the club, launching a partnership with the Ricki Herbert Football Academy (RHFA).

Golfers check out Women’s Open Submitted by the Women’s group at the Cambridge Golf Club (abridged) The Women’s group at the Cambridge Golf Club were on the road recently travelling to the NZ Women’s Open in Papakura to check out the first day of action. With wet weather in the days following, it was certainly the best day to
be there. Held at Windross Farm Golf Club, it was an easy walking and watching course and all came home in a great mood, along with some very funny photos. Up next on the Cambridge Golf Calendar is the Men’s Invitation Day and Strokeplay Championships.

Junior interprovincial golf champs By Sophie Iremonger
Dozens of the country’s top young golfers were in town last week as the Cambridge Golf Club hosted the 2017 Junior Interprovincial Golf Championships. Organisers were relieved to see mostly sunny skies over the four-day competition held Tuesday to Friday last week. The Waikato team, led by Cambridge’s Jordan Woodall, didn’t continue their winning streak this year, having won the competition last year. They finished in sixth place, succumbing to Wellington 5-1 in the final round. The team included Robson Tarrant, Luke Kidd, James Fellows-Ford, Tyler Wood, Jack Trower and Jordan Woodall.
They started off brilliantly, beating Taranaki and Eastland 6-0, and later beating Northland 6 -0 as well, but a 5-1 loss against Canterbury ruined their chance to become the champions. Ahead of Wellington in fifth place was the Bay of Plenty team in fourth, following Auckland in third, North Harbour second and Canterbury in first. Just three players remained undefeated throughout the competition, with Player of the Tournament honours going to Canterbury’s No 3 Ben Baker. It was the seventh year the Cambridge Golf Club has hosted the tournament, and despite the Waikato team’s less than perfect placing, the host club were rapt that the competition ran smoothly with perfect golfing conditions and a superb course throughout.

Beginner’s guide to mountain biking Children and parents came from all over the district to experience the beautiful trails at the Te Miro Mountain Bike Club recently. Event organiser Linley McMillan organised the October 4 event with the support of Sport Waikato, Cycling NZ and KiwiSport. The car park was packed, as more than 60 children aged from 7 – 13 years arrived at the event. Excitement levels were high, both for children and families. Children were organised into ability age groups by team leaders, with the first session covering bike maintenance and helmet-fitting. After that, the morning was filled with a selection of confidence building obstacle courses, games and team challenges. Then it was time for a barbeque lunch and the kids were put
back into their groups and off on the adventure component of the day – a variety of mountain biking tracks. For many children and parents this was the first time they had been to Te Miro Mt Bike Club and for some it was the first time they had gone mountain biking with their children. It was reportedly a fantastic and engaging day it was for everyone involved. For information on Te Miro Mt Bike Club and Saturday group rides please contact Linley McMillan grantandlinley@xtra. co.nz Special thanks to Sport Waikato, Cycling NZ, Kiwisport, The Veggie Bin Morrinsville for the fruit, Fonterra for the Calciyum and to all the parents and club members who made the day Heading out after lunch to experience riding the trails possible.
Many options for being active and well in Waipa
Nominations for our Waipa Networks District Sports Awards have now closed and it is fabulous to see all the wonderful success and contribution to sport from our sports people, sports clubs and volunteers. Tickets to this event, on the 13th November, are on sale at www.sportwaikato.org.nz or at your local Waipa District Council reception. It is evident that not only
are our club sports getting the community ‘out there and active’, we are seeing many people participating in community led exercise and recreation groups and classes. We all understand what the benefits are of exercise, so if you are struggling to get motivated think of the enjoyment of finding an activity that suits you. Are you competitive, a team player, enjoy
walking, exercising to music or would you like a social activity, fun and friendships? An easy way to find out about the many options is to talk to your Sport Waikato Waipa District Coordintor. Sometimes just getting the conversations started is overcoming the biggest hurdle!! In the Waipa area we have a diverse community with many individuals
who lead groups and classes. Did you know that there are regular walking groups that go out every week? Walking is a great way to get active. It requires very little warm-up time, and you can sustain it for differing periods of time. Best of all you can walk whenever it suits. As you do more walking, and get fitter, you will start to notice the benefits. As your walking becomes
easier it is important to increase the intensity. A 20-minute walk may improve your health, but a regular 30-minute to 1-hour walk makes all the difference and will increase endurance by training the heart, lungs and muscles to work longer. Walking groups are only one of the community led options, also available are cycling, aqua classes, exercise classes, classes
for older people, Tai Chi groups, just for blokes and many more. Contact Active & Well Team Leader Hayley Berkers for more information 021 944 279 hayleyb@sportwaikato. org.nz

Top placing for Todd at Boekelo Cambridge’s Sir Mark Todd wrapped up the CCIO3 Military Boekelo-Enschede on Sunday – an international equestrian eventing competition in The Netherlands – with a seventh-place finish aboard the very promising McClaren. “I was particularly thrilled with his performance,” Todd said of the trusty horse. “At the beginning of this year he was only doing novice, so to finish seventh in his first CCIO3 competition is truly phenomenal. I think he is a brilliant horse for the future.” It was a great weekend for the NZ eventing team as a whole, finishing as the top team in the international competition to secure the FEI Nations Cup.
“It was a fantastic effort by the team to win the final round of the Nations Cup by a convincing margin,” said Todd. “All the horses went really well, and it was very exciting for Tim (Price) with the lovely mare Cekatinka to win the overall competition.” Conditions had been tough with a lot of rain, but a new all-weather surface at Boekelo for both the dressage and showjumping had paid dividends. Much of the talk going into the event had been about series leaders Germany and Great Britain. But it was the Kiwi team that finished first on 160.9, with Germany second on 174.3 and Australia third on 203.7.

monthly home building feature
Cambridge’s space squeeze eased One of the newest buildings in Cambridge’s CBD is a two-storey testimony to business optimism in the town – and it brings with it a Float Room. By Viv Posselt
The recently-completed building at 48 Empire Street is attracting a flush of public curiosity. Interest in the site itself was piqued with the removal several years ago of the historic villa which was the last residential house in the street; curiosity continued as signs of progress on a development began to appear. The multi-million-dollar building was completed in late August and the first of four tenants, Spoken Cycles, moved in last month. They were quickly followed by Cambridge Insurance Brokers, Construction Advantage, Cooney Insurance and Vigour Physiotherapy. Owned by business consortium M4 Property, designed by LAD Architecture and developed by Construction Advantage, the two storey retail/office premises offers around 800 square metres of much-needed space in Cambridge. Fourteen carparks
have been provided at the rear. Construction Advantage director John Mason described the development as a “smooth operation”. He described the completed building as being in keeping with what was needed in Cambridge, and said construction had been wrapped up in just four months. “We had looked at adding a third floor, but the results of a feasibility study suggested we remain with the two-storey option.” Cooney Insurance director David Cooney has moved from the Dick Street villa he shared with Cooney Law, owned by his wife Jocelyn Cooney. “Jocelyn will expand into the space left as we move to the new building. My business had been looking for more room for quite some time; this new block is a sensible option for us. “Our view is that we want to grow our business as the town continues to grow.” Vigour Physiotherapy director Clarke McKenzie said the move to Empire Street had
come on the back of growing demand for expanded facilities. The clinic now has six clinic rooms and a purpose-built 85 square metre gym space
to optimise the recovery and rehabilitation of clients. The expansion has allowed for the addition of a Float Room which brings the benefits of flotation
therapy to town. First to move into the building was Spoken Cycles. They said the move offered greater space and better exposure than they
had previously in Alpha Street. They were also able to benefit from a larger workshop area, space for meetings and a 3D Velogoic Bike Fit Zone.
The new building at the top of Empire Street occupies a prime spot in terms of visual advantage.

Cutting-edge new factory opens By Claire Castle
A state-of-the-art new frame and truss factory had its official opening in Hautapu recently. Around 20 stakeholders and guests donned safety gear and took a tour of the Waikato Frame and Truss plant, getting a crash course on the ins-and-outs of house framing in the process. Set on an 11,000m2 site, the factory employs 22 workers and supplies house framing and trusses to the Waikato and South Auckland exclusively for Mitre 10. It’s a far cry from the previous operation which started in 2013 and ran out of the killing floor of the old Affco meat works on Matos Segedin Drive, originally employing four people. “It’s a huge step up for us to come here and do this,” said one of the venture’s four directors, Stephen Deverell, co-owner of Cambridge Mitre 10 Mega. His Cambridge store coowner Brendan Lafferty is another director, along with Myles Whitcher and Terry Wilson from Hamilton. Terry said the operation would
not have gotten off the ground without Brendan and Stephen. “We are happy to be partners with the Cambridge boys,” he said, adding that the town is the ideal location for the plant due to the proximity of the Waikato Expressway. Work on the new factory started in August 2016, and the result is a 1600m2 factory floor with offices upstairs. Precision is vital in the operation, with each house having between 3,000 and 4,000 individually cut pieces in its framing and trusses. House plans are detailed into CAD software which works out exactly what needs to be manufactured. The plant has invested in new technology, Sapphire, that allows for plans to be made into a 3-dimensional model, so builders and clients can see exactly what the house will look like. The 3-dimensional model can go onto phones and devices, making it more accessible than a 2-dimensional laminate to the builder. If there’s a query, a phone can be pointed at part of the frame or truss to make sure everything is in alignment.
(Left to right): Director Myles Whitcher; general manager, Doug Payne; director Stephen Deverell; director Brendan Lafferty; and director Terry Wilson at the launch of the new factory. “You can line up with the frame and go in real time with the phone to see that each piece is fixed properly,” explained the factory’s general manager, Doug Payne. By early next year it is expected that all frame and truss jobs will go through Sapphire, making this one of the only factories in the country to fully adopt the
18 Months Interest Free on Q Card 12 Months Interest Free on Forlongs Card
programme. Once the plans are put into the design software, they are inputted into the factory’s new Razer V5 linear saw. The Razer then cuts the pieces in the most efficient way, rather than cutting
them in order, resulting in a considerable reduction in waste offcuts on the site. “It’s taken the human factor out of cutting, making it more accurate and safe,” Stephen said. Printed with a job and
component number as they go through the Razer, the pieces are then assembled and put into the right order, ready to be delivered to building sites across the greater Waikato and South Auckland.

Fourth annual title for Witheford By Sophie Iremonger
A prominent Cambridge racer made his mark on the national racing stage recently, coming away from the North Island round of the Polaris New Zealand Off-road Championship with a first-place finish in his class. It was the fourth-year running that Campbell Witheford won the North Island Off Road Challenger title, this time finishing off the competition with a maximum of 72 points having won all four rounds of the Challenger class. He now goes on to compete at the national final in Nelson on Labour weekend. “I was quite stoked because I was quite low down in the points coming into that round,” said Witheford, who had lost points in the previous round due to a mid-race crash. “I was following right behind the car in front of me and he hit a tree, so I went way up the back
of his car… he actually started up and took off but mine didn’t want to start again!” Thankfully Campbell had much better luck at the recent round. “It was a really good track as well, it got a bit rough in the end but it makes for slightly better driving conditions.” Witheford was pressed hard in every heat by a new arrival in the Challenger class, Mark Goldstone, who took a string of second placings in a car formerly campaigned by ex-champions Dyson Delahunty and Nick Leahy. “He actually gave me a good run for my money!” said Witheford. “It was quite a good challenge, it wasn’t super close but it was probably the most competition I’ve had in quite a while.” With less than a fortnight away from the big final, Campbell said he was halfway through building a trailer and hadn’t yet prepped the car, “It’s probably going
to be a bit of a rush at the last minute!” he laughed. “It’s going to be my last race in this car, so I’m probably just going to go all out, try and get as much points as I can.” In the 2018 season Campbell will be driving a new vehicle in a different class, having recently purchased a Pro Lite race truck from the US. “It’s a bit more open in suspension and motor wise… you’re allowed unlimited horse power and gear box and that, so that will be a lot faster.” His four-time North Island Championshipwinning challenger car will be going up for sale after the final round on Labour weekend. “It started off as a pretty basic car, and I think about every part of it has had a bit of a play with, being rebuilt and modified or whatever else… A lot of work has gone into it.” Campbell hopes he’ll be able to finish the 2017 season taking home the national Challenger title.

RICHARD THE STORK
DELIGHTFUL. A pleasant surprise, a perfect, really fun family movie with heartfelt moments. Grownups and kids will surely love and enjoy it wholeheartedly. Go and watch it and bring your kids, godchildren, little cousins, etc. Orphaned at birth and raised by storks, the teenage sparrow Richard believes he is one of them. But when the time comes to migrate to Africa, his stork family is forced to reveal his true identity and leave him behind in the forest, since he is not a migratory bird and would not survive the journey. Determined to prove he is a stork after all, Richard ventures south on his own. But only with the help of Olga, an eccentric owl with an imaginary friend and Kiki, a narcissistic, disco-singing parakeet, does he stand a chance to reach his goal and learn to accept who he really is.

The 1973 tennis match between women’s World #1 Billie Jean King (Academy Award Winner Emma Stone) and ex-men’s-champ and serial hustler Bobby Riggs (Academy Award Nominee Steve Carell) was billed as the BATTLE OF THE SEXES and became one of the most watched televised sports events of all time, reaching 90 million viewers around the world. As the rivalry between King and Riggs kicked into high gear, offcourt each was fighting more personal and complex battles. The fiercely private King was not only championing for equality, but also struggling to come to terms with her own sexuality, as her friendship with Marilyn Barnett (Andrea Riseborough) developed. And Riggs, one of the first self-made media-age celebrities, wrestled with his gambling demons, at the expense of his family and wife Priscilla (Elisabeth Shue). Together, Billie and Bobby served up a cultural spectacle that resonated far beyond the tennis court, sparking discussions in bedrooms and boardrooms that continue to reverberate today. This powerful, poignant and gratifying movie has received incredibly positive reviews at Film Festivals in the USA and Canada as a joy to watch.
