Five Things to Do

FRIDAY MARCH 16, 2018

Letters to the editor

Cambridge newsroom update Another week has rocketed past, and it’s nice to see the cooler weather. Also nice for some has been the arrival of the mock water bills, with around 51 per cent of households better off paying for actual usage than they were on a fixed charge, and 81 per cent on shared meters being better off.

I’m sure some people have been in for a fright, with larger than expected bills due to undiagnosed leaks. My own bill confirmed the presence of a leak, clocking in at $242.22, which is a lot considering it’s just me there and two kids every second week. I’m sure I won’t have been the only one calling a plumber about this, and quicksmart before the mock bills become real from July 1. My plumber reckons it will cost around $600 to replace the pipe from the meter to my house, which is much less than the thousands I was expecting and means I won’t have to email Trade Me again to appeal their ridiculous ban on selling kidneys.

Also nice this week has been the gradual removal of the plastic wrap on 60 Victoria St, which is being taken down – but not before someone had cut that word your phone autocorrects to ‘duck’ into the plastic (it was hastily removed).

Other than that, once again we are spoilt for news and interesting things going on in our town and I hope you enjoy reading about it. In case you are not on our Facebook page, I have hidden an extra L in the paper this week after the one on last week’s page 14 headline mysteriously ran off between here and the printer.

There’s a chocolate fish to the first person who emails me with its whereabouts. Game on!

Street View:

Ankle-breaker highway?

More than one year ago residents’ rates were used to create new footpaths along Victoria Street and along Cambridge Road. They were meant to make foot-traffic along these roads easier and safer. On Cambridge Road this clearly is not the case: The new foot path along the left-hand side (coming from the new round-about), does not sit flush with the grass verges but approx.

13 cm above, resulting in a lethal looking sharp edge. In places the slabs are a 14 cm distance apart. One of those is in front of a ratepaying resident’s house who complained repeatedly to the council by phone. Somebody came out and told her, “people just have to be careful”.

These footpaths are now dangerous to negotiate for residents, who walk, sometimes with the help of walking sticks (which could get stuck between the slabs), walkers (one step to the wrong side could result in physical damage to the person walking), small children who could be accidentally tipped out of prams, scooters which could “derail”, cars which could be damaged backing out of drive-ways – the list could be continued for some time.

I think this needs to be fixed and made to work in a safe way for residents and visitors alike.

Jutta Mark Council responds: The footpath was replaced and significantly widened right out to the kerb

(where it drops off) to make it safer not just for pedestrians but also for mobility scooters, wheelchairs and pushchairs etc.

To protect nearby properties and driveways from flooding, standard slot crossings have been installed in driveway entrances, so water can drain quickly from the road.

This footpath design is standard for new footpaths. It meets all New Zealand standards and is used nationally. It has also worked well in other places across the district and the reaction from users elsewhere has been positive. Given that, we are somewhat disappointed at this feedback.

Puppy rescue Many thanks to the kind person who rescued our puppy on the low-level bridge on Wednesday last week. We really appreciated it and were relieved to get her back. Thanks, Cambridge.

Mock water bills are no joke

By Claire Castle

Cambridge residents should have received their first mock water bill by now, with the first of two practice bills sent out before charging begins on July 1.

Council figures show that of around 1,000 older, cross-leased properties on a shared water meter, 81 per cent were better off in this round of billing than they would have been under fixed charging.

That is of little consolation to Leamington resident Kelvin Dunn, whose water bill for the quarter is $148.30, putting him squarely in the 19 per cent camp who are worse off.

Kelvin shares a meter with his neighbours, a family who he said use significantly more water than he does living on his own. He has no problem with the amount of water they use, but objects to having to pay for more than his share. Kelvin wrote to councillor Grahame Webber in early December following the council meeting where they voted to adopt a split bill regime. Cr Webber voted to split the cost of water between dwellings on a cross-lease, citing the example of his own mother who he said would be better off.

Among other points raised in his letter, Kelvin said that represented a conflict of interest for the Cambridge councillor, and queried why he did not withdraw from the vote for that reason.

Kelvin said he never received a reply to his letter, and Cr Webber had not returned our phone call to discuss the matter by the time we went to print. What Kelvin said has been a total lack of communication from Waipa District Council has left a sour taste in his mouth, and he is going to sell up and move to Hamilton once his meter is installed and renovations are complete. “The Waipa District Council are the worst

authority I have ever dealt with in my entire life,” added a frustrated Kelvin. And to add insult to injury, when he does sell up and move on, Kelvin will have to pay a $36 fee to council for a final water meter reading.

Outspoken split bill opponent, Norma Mackie, said her mock bill was $52.64 – roughly half what she had previously been paying under the fixed charge. “That’s alright now (the split bill), all my neighbours are over 80, but I could have two couples in the units next to me and then I wouldn’t be happy.” Norma, who lives in one of three units on a cross-lease, conceded that her neighbours were probably paying for some of her water under the current arrangement. “I probably would be paying more if I was paying for my own,” she said. Norma also said the council had been “ripping them off” all these years by having a fixed rate which was higher than the new charge for actual use.

“We have already paid for meters with the overcharging,” she said, however this fixed rate was to cover the cost of supplying water to the region.

Council is set to review the practice of splitting bills for crosslease properties at the end of the

year.

Are we better off, or what?

Council say 51 per cent of all households have received an initial bill for under $101 for the quarter, meaning they are better off than they were under the uniform annual charge in the rates which was $405.20 ($101.30 a quarter). The first real bill will be payable in November, after two sets of mock bills have given residents the chance to fix any leaks and change their usage to cut costs.

What about tenants?

Council advised that water charges are classified as a rate, despite the usage component, and will therefore be sent out to property owners rather than the physical address. Landlords and tenants need to have a conversation around who pays for it, the council spokesperson said.

Not got a bill?

Council has identified 70 mock bills in Cambridge reading higher than $500, and have sent these out with a letter alerting residents that it is higher than expected. A further 120 mock bills are being rechecked and will be sent out as soon as possible. Phone council on 0800 WAIPADC (0800 924 723) if you haven’t received your bill.

Quickfire News Rates calculator available now

Waipa ratepayers can now head online to find out exactly what their rates will be for the next 10 years starting 2018/19.

Council has relaunched its popular online rates calculator this week, at the website futurewaipa. co.nz.

Council’s 10-year plans are revised and adjusted every three years with the community consulted each time.

Council's communication and engagement Council's communication and manager Natalie Palmer engagement manager said the online calculator Natalie Palmer gives people a clear sense of what the proposals outlined in the draft 10-Year Plan would cost, if they all went ahead. "We're hoping that people will look at the site, see what's proposed, use the calculator to find out the impact on their rates and then have their say," she said.

The average rates increase for the coming 2018/19 year (inclusive of anticipated water supply charges) will be 1.87 per cent. As of 1 July, recovery charges for water supply will be removed from the rates bill and billed separately. Without water, the average rates bill will decrease by more than five per cent.

Over the decade 2018-2028, the average annual rates increase is set to be 2.23 per cent per year (inclusive of anticipated water supply charges). Not including water supply charges, the average annual rates increase would be about 1.53 per cent. * * * *

Plain packaging starts now

From Wednesday, new rules that prevent the tobacco industry from having branding on their packaging have come into force.

Retailers have 12 weeks to sell existing stock before all cigarette and tobacco packets must be the same khaki colour seen in other countries, with graphic warnings and alarming pictures expanded to cover at least 75 per cent of the packs. It is hoped that this move will further encourage people to stop smoking or reduce the number taking it up in the first place, by further diminishing the appeal of the habit. * * * *

Balloons coming next Friday

A reminder that hot air balloons will be coming to Karapiro next Friday night (March 23) as part of the Balloons Over Waikato festival. Residents can check out five hot air balloons at the Mighty River Domain from 5 – 8pm on March 23, with inflating beginning at 5pm. The event, supported by Waipa District Council, is free to enter, with amusement rides including a tea cup ride, mini merry-go-round, inflatable obstacle course and inflatable castle to entertain the kids. Food and drink vendors are likely to be on site. A rare opportunity to see a hot air balloon from the inside-out will require a gold coin donation with all money going to Rotary International. * * * *

Boost for Salvation Army’s food bank which invites people to swap cans of food for test pots of paint at any of the 65 stores around the country.

In the three years the initiative has run, over 110,000 cans of food have been swapped for paint – with another 37,000 cans of food collected nationally this year.

“It’s fantastic,” Shaun said of Cambridge’s big can collection. “We now have approximately 1100 cans coming into our food bank this week, that’s really good because March is the perfect month to top up our food bank again, because food comes in and goes out at the same rate.”

Sam Gardiner, assistant manager at

By Sophie Iremonger

The Salvation Army received a much-needed boost last week when the local Resene colour store handed over 434 cans of food to the local food bank.

Shaun Baker, captain of the Salvation Army Cambridge Corps, confirmed Cambridge had collected the highest number of cans in the area throughout the month of February, with Te Awamutu about 50 cans behind, then Matamata with 234 cans and Morrinsville with 84.

The initiative is known as the Resene Hunger for Colour fundraiser,

Resene Cambridge, was rapt to see Cambridge locals coming forward with so many donations this year.

“Some people brought in several cans, and we got quite a few donations without the expectation of a test pot, so they just came in and donated.

“Some people brought in cans specifically for cats too.

“We’ve had a really good variety this year,” said Sam. “Last year we seemed to have a lot of lentils and chickpeas…The best donations have been the wholesome foods in one can, like soups and spaghetti.”

Sam Gardiner (right), assistant manager at Resene “Variety is very good for us,” added Cambridge, hands over the 434-can load to Shaun Shaun. “You guys are awesome.”

Baker, Captain of The Salvation Army Cambridge.

Community Board March update

By Cambridge CCB chairman Mike Pettit We received an initial update presentation on the Safeways to School Project where many schools through parents and children have been involved in giving feedback on safer ways children could bike, scooter and walk to their local schools.

Well done to all involved in this project. The data will be presented to council, CCB and schools. Any implications will be included as a submission to the 10-Year Plan.

Consultation on the 10-Year District Plan will be taking place from March 15 to April 20.

The council will be presenting

roadshows with feedback also being able to be given through the website or council service centre.

Thornton Rd will have another seal placed over it within the next year and the footpath is to be widened. The improvements at the roundabout have made traffic flow far smoother and drainage improvements along the roadside should see the end of surface flooding throughout winter.

The CCB has set aside $5,000 towards commemoration events linked to the liberation of Le Quesnoy and Armistice Day. Events will take place in and around town between the dates

Sauvignon Blanc

of the November 4 - 11. The first date being the liberation of Le Quesnoy by the NZ 3rd Rifle Brigade and the second date being the signing of the Armistice, ending WW1.

Cambridge Quilters club have crafted a quilt entitled, “Le Quesnoy Liberation Quilt” which will be taken over by an official delegation of 7 representatives and presented to the mayor of Le Quesnoy. A second quilt has also been made, Poppies of Remembrance 1918-2018”. This will be raffled off as a fundraiser.

Cambridge of course is a Sister City of Le Quesnoy and their Cambridge/LQ Association is looking forward to hosting us. We

enjoyed hosting a delegation of 26 from Le Quesnoy in February of last year. The delegation will represent not only Cambridge, but Waipa. Many NZ families are attending the events in Le Quesnoy. If you are interested through connection or otherwise we are only too happy to help you with information.

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.

To place an item on the formal agenda, please do so at least 10 days before the meeting, either by emailing myself on; mike.

Mike Pettit, Community Board chairman pettit@waipadc.govt.nz or our CCB secretary, Noelene.BarrAllwood@waipadc.govt.nz or contact any board member by visiting the waipadc webpage.

Local govt minister addresses region

By Claire Castle

Minister for Local Government, the Honorable Nanaia Mahutu, was in town on Wednesday to address a gathering of the region’s MPs, councillors and other stakeholders. Ms Mahuta spoke about key issues affecting the region, including shared water management and Māori representation on council – both things the Waipa District Council has voted against in recent months, rejecting both a shared water company and a Māori ward.

Describing the shared water management conversation as “not an easy one to have”, Ms Mahuta said that councils are right to consider a different, more strategic approach to water management.

The enquiry following the Havelock North water contamination crisis of 2016 has led to a tightening of the regulatory environment around the provision of safe drinking water, she explained. Questions are also being asked around whether there is enough transparency around water services compared with other services, she added.

While councils are dealing

with affordability issues around growth and infrastructure, they also need to provide services that are affordable to their communities, which will require a more strategic approach. “We (central government) will be discussing this later this year,” she added.

Waipa district councillor, Susan O’Regan, asked Ms Mahuta for her views on legislation surrounding the creation of Māori wards on local councils.

“The government has a number of sensibilities due to our coalition partner (NZ First),” she said, adding that this issue has already been brought up by a number of mayors. She pointed to the provision for a poll in local government legislation whereby if a Māori ward was voted for by councillors, five per cent of voters can demand a poll and possibly have it overturned – as a barrier to the establishment of Māori wards on council.

“The poll creates an unfair barrier to local communities contemplating Māori wards and drives the debate into a negative space,” she said.

“Wards can be established for rural communities without a poll, however Māori wards

can’t be.

“Where councils have encouraged Māori representation there is a more mature and sophisticated approach to what the council is grappling with,” Ms Mahuta explained.

She then urged those from

igathered to unite behind the cause of amending the legislation.

“It would be really helpful if a consensus of the willing could make a representation to change the legislation,” she said.

Ms Mahuta finished by

saying she hoped that the audience can feel that the Labour government is different, with a greater emphasis on accessibility. “We can’t do everything by ourselves and we don’t intend to. Engaging on the front end will give traction going forward,” she concluded.

Waipa mayor Jim Mylchreest watches as Nanaia Mahuta received a kowhai tree and framed picture of Urenuku as thanks for her attendance from Iwi Relations Advisor, Shane Te Ruki.

Think before you park

Get gardening

Local resident and wheelchair athlete Maioro Barton has started an online movement, encouraging people to commit to not using mobility parks without a permit and to speak out when they see others misusing the parks. With a hashtag of #IWill, Maioro said he has had a good response to the campaign on the Cambridge Grapevine Facebook page. The most common reason people give for their illegal parking, Maioro said, is that they are “just going to be five minutes”. Hot-spots for this behaviour are the parks outside Rouge on Empire St and on Duke St outside the post office, caused by people just “popping in” for food or to use the post office, he said.

That five minutes can be just enough time for a mobility permit holder to miss out and have to drive on, Maioro pointed out. And it’s not as easy as just finding a regular park, particularly for wheelchairusers who need the extra space of a mobility park to manoeuvre their chairs in and out of their vehicles.

Figures from CCS Disability Action showed there are 935 mobility permits issued in Cambridge – 888 long-term and 47 short term – with council advising there are 25 mobility parks available throughout Cambridge and Leamington. That’s one park to just over 37 permit-holders, representing a low ratio of parks to potential users.

Keen to keep things positive, Maioro said that if the public is considering approaching someone they suspect is illegally parking in a mobility park, they should look for the parking permit on the vehicle’s dashboard, not at the person driving. “It’s not always visually obvious if someone is entitled to use it…look for the permit, not the disability,” he advised.

“You can approach the person by saying that they seem to have forgotten to display their mobility permit. That’s a calm way to ask them what they’re doing and hopefully they will feel guilty for parking

Autumn is nature’s natural planting time. As the soil temperature cools and moisture levels return to normal, planting trees and shrubs gives them the chance to establish new roots before winter. Look out for new season’s camellias and rhododendrons available now.

Vegetables Dig potato crops and store in a cool, dark, airy place.

Winter crops of greens – cabbage, broccoli, silverbeet and Chinese cabbage – all enjoy the cooler temperatures.

Plant seeds of radish turnips along with peas and broad beans Bare areas in the vege garden can be sown with green crops such as mustard or lupin, to be dug in later to feed the soil for spring. This also helps to keep down weeds.

Flowers Winter colour for the garden – pansy, viola, primula, poppies and dianthus are all available now. Planting while the weather is still nice will get them established and give colour throughout the cooler months.

Spring bulbs can be planted now the soil temperature has cooled. Try planting tulips through a bed of poppy plants for added interest Lawns Sow new lawns now, as fewer weeds will establish themselves.

Happy gardening, everyone!

there and move it, or not do it again,” he said.

Alternatively, they might genuinely have forgotten to display their permit, something Maioro said he’s been guilty of in the past.

“It’s good that we don’t have fulltime parking wardens here, and that parking is free…I’d just like to challenge the community to just keep an eye out.”

Which doesn’t seem too much to ask, really.

Cambridge cat quite the explorer

By Sophie Iremonger

A local cat is making a name for himself around Cambridge, exploring his way to the middle school, the vets and even the other side of town.

Oshaa, a 6-monthold tabby owned by Shay Bootten, has become somewhat of an adventurer after moving from Carlyle St to Queen St three months ago.

He’s crossed the bridge and wandered to his

old home, dropped in at the Cambridge Vets a few times, as well as In Stone Café, Onyx, Stables, Te Koo Utu Lake, St Andrews Church and his favourite spot, Cambridge Middle School.

He is also a regular feature on the Cambridge Grapevine Facebook page, with concerned locals seeking his owner after he’s walked into their houses and made himself right at home.

The roaming tabby’s morning routine sees him pop outside to watch the middle school students on the way to school, and sometimes he likes to follow them there, even walking into one of the classrooms to join in on the lesson. “He loves all the kids,” said Shay.

Another time, Shay was at a pub in town during the early hours of the morning, and in walked her cat. “I was like, ‘is that my cat!?’ and he was

at the pub! Like mother like son,” she laughed.

“I’ve never had a cat that has been so outgoing, he’s almost like a dog…

Some people were saying he’s kind of like me, he’s a social butterfly. I’ve met so many cool new people having this cat.”

Shay has had Oshaa since late November last year, he was found as a stray kitten on a mutual friend’s farm, where the resident dogs had killed his brother.

“They wanted to keep him, but they had to get rid of him because their dogs wanted to eat him…

I was carrying him out to the car and these dogs were like trying to jump up and I’m like ‘oh my God I’m taking this little guy out of here’. I think that’s why he’s not scared of anything.”

Shay hopes locals will refrain from feeding him, as he gets plenty at home.

“He is microchipped and I will try putting a collar on him again but he always rips it off… It would help if the kids didn’t call him to school.

“I love him very much and I love his outgoing personality, but I also love that he comes home for cuddles every night.”

The other two accused have entered no plea in relation to their charges, with one currently remanded in custody and the other on bail to reappear in the Hamilton District Court on April 11.

A Spark spokesperson advised the shop’s frontage will be fixed within the next month.

Twelve Angry Men a ‘must-see’

By Sophie Iremonger

The realities of a jury’s duty, and the question of ‘what is reasonable doubt?’ leaves audience members in contemplation after viewing the Gaslight Theatre’s latest show, Twelve Angry Men. It’s got a little bit of everything – drama, suspense, comedy, and a hint of “whodunnit”, as a room of twelve jurors shift from a 12-to-one case of “he’s guilty”, to a grey area of questionable doubt.

Locked in a room to deliberate, jurors get at each other’s throats, in one case with a knife, as they wrestle their way to a verdict.

“Nearly 70 years after it was written, a lot of the points are the same, reasonable doubt always has to be clarified,” said John Kellehar, one of the Cambridge actors in the show.

The show stars three Cambridge actors, Steve McMurray, John Kellehar, and Lesley Nielson. Hamilton director Tracey Barlow said she was very excited

to be bringing the show to the Cambridge stage.

“It’s one of my favourite films ever, it’s been on my bucket list of plays to do for the last ten years,” said Barlow.

“Initially we were never going to be able to do it here, because normally getting men for Cambridge theatre is quite slim, so I talked to the Cambridge Repertory Society and we opened it up for women too, which has been really quite handy, because I ended up with a large audition, 30 people, I think the largest they’ve had for Cambridge Repertory ever.”

The play is quite different from others, set completely in the jury room, with all actors on stage the entire time – the equivalent of an acting marathon. But the cast pulls it off brilliantly in what many would consider to be a must-see show.

It’s on at the Gaslight theatre this weekend, tickets at eventfinda.co.nz or Paper Plus Cambridge. Congratulations to Derek and Louise Allen who won last week’s ticket giveaway.

Left to right: Steve McMurray, Mel Martin and Janine Swainson made up a talented cast of Hamilton and Cambridge actors in Twelve Angry Men at the Gaslight Theatre.

Super turnout for super cause Capes were flying and spirits were high on Saturday when superheroes young and old took to the track for the Cancer Society’s Relay For Life.

Ten Cambridge teams were among the 42 teams that took part in the superhero-themed fundraiser at Cambridge Raceway on March 10, keeping their baton moving around the track for 12 hours in support of Kiwis affected by cancer.

They were joined on the day by cancer survivors, who were honoured during the opening lap, and around 350 spectators who came along to show their support.

“We have a huge range of people that take part from across the region – from family teams to businesses, schools and community groups. It was great to see everyone dressed up and really enjoying the event

Who needs a 5 bedroom home?

1. A GROWING FAMILY:

If your numbers are increasing, or you have teenagers who need more of their own space, this roomy 5-bedroom home (with Rumpus room) is perfect for you.

2. BED & BREAKFAST HOSTS: The Cambridge Medical Centre stood for hope at the Cancer Society’s Relay for Life that they’ve worked so hard to fundraise for,” said Catriona Findlay, fundraising manager for the Cancer Society.

Catriona said final figures are still being tallied but the total amount raised from the event will be more than $62,000.

Money raised will stay in the Waikato/Bay of Plenty region and help the Cancer Society to provide a range of supportive care services

including transport to medical appointments, advice and information from support nurses and accommodation during treatment.

“The Cancer Society simply wouldn’t be able to operate without the generosity of the community. By taking part, all of you have made a real difference for people affected by cancer in our region,” Catriona said.

Cambridge now hosts sporting events all year round. If you’re looking to create an income by offering rooms to B&B customers, this 5-bedroom home is just what you need.

3. STUDENT HOMESTAY HOSTS:

Cambridge High School is just a 63 second drive from the doorstep of this home. If you like the idea of hosting overseas students, this 5-bedroom home is spot on.

CAMBRIDGE - 82 Alpha St TE AWAMUTU - Mahoe Medical Centre, 4/671 Cambridge Rd

Tyringham Park by Rosemary McLoughlin Reviewed by Monique Wiles ‘Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive’.

McLoughlin’s historical saga spanning both world wars and simultaneously set in Ireland and Australia epitomizes Shakespeare’s saying.

The plot hinges upon the mysterious disappearance of a young upper-class child whereupon an absent father and stoical mother provide little help to find her. Their servantry all pitch in but the child remains unobtainable.

Theories regarding possible outcomes merge with accusations, conflicts, betrayals and confrontations amongst both class sets during which the issues of life continue.

Traumatized over her sister’s disappearance, Charlotte, the sibling left behind, struggles to manage her existence due to harsh treatment, detached parents and unrecognized talents. The ghosts of her past age with her, past connections continually triggering their re-emergence.

In the tradition of true melodrama, betrayal, impulse and desire feed ravenously into each character’s prospective life choices bearing some dire consequences. In balance, positive mentors wait in the wings bringing redemptive influence.

The easy-reading short chapter scenes are written visually, an emotive

screenplay, much of the action scripted like movie sequences: Births, deaths, marriages, emigrations and exiles, horse hunts, illicit relationships, serving family, country, cultural and class expectations. With several pivotal twists and turns, the story’s tapestry threads interweave and knots crosshatch as unexpected twists and intrigue contain the great secret of the great house.

How will Charlotte find her rightful place in the world once the truth is revealed?

Step Out in Style this Winter

The Waikato Bay of Plenty team retained the Points Shield after a successful final day of the four-day Vantage Age Group Track National Championships in Invercargill on Sunday.

The championships attracted around 170 riders from around the country competing for age group and masters’ titles during the event from March 8 – 11 at the SIT Zero Fees Velodrome in Invercargill. The Waikato-Bay of Plenty teams took out the women’s under-17 Team Pursuit with Prudence Fowler, Summer Williams, Amy Gregan and Mya Anderson prevailing in 3:44.710, while Fowler and Anderson combined to take out the Madison.

That was enough to claim the overall shield on 149 points with hosts Southland sharing second place with Canterbury on 133 and Auckland finishing with 111 points.

Coach Vicki Fleming said she was so proud of the team, which came back with “medals galore” and a number of FIGURE 3.2.3 personal best times, despite many of them being stricken with a virus during the event.

“Their overall attitude and what’ they’ve achieved is absolutely brilliant,” Vicki said.

Organisers Donna Warwick and Lisa Hodgson were thrilled with the turn out. “Seeing the happy faces of both the young, and not so young, finishing their event, and all the parents supporting their children gives us immense satisfaction,” they said. “It is so pleasing to see our community come together along with people from further afield.”

This year the event had school teams competing for the first time, as well as competitors from Auckland, Te Aroha, Otorohanga, and even Spain. The organisers wished to thank their sponsors for generously supporting the event.

As well as supporting the school, $1 from every entry went towards Cambridge Lifeskills.

Women’s tourney goes to BOP

By Josh Easby

Cambridge has hosted another successful women’s seven-aside football tournament won

by Whakatāne Town.

Fourteen teams from the Bay of Plenty, Coromandel and Waikato gathered at John Kerkhof Park for the eighth annual Cambridge Sevens.

Whakatāne took the title for

the first time since winning the inaugural tournament in 2011, beating Tauranga City United 5-3 in a thrilling final.

Cambridge came third in the tournament, finishing a hectic day with three wins, a draw and losing their only game of the day in a semi-final against Whakatāne that went to extra time.

Melville United, from

Hamilton, lost the play-off for third spot 2-1 to Cambridge.

Meanwhile, Cambridge’s preparations for the club’s return to football’s Northern League got a boost despite the men’s first team suffering their first loss of their pre-season campaign.

The Reds travelled to Auckland to play Manukau United, coached by All Whites

legend Kevin Fallon. United play in the Northern League’s Premier Division – two leagues above Cambridge – and were expected to easily see off the Waikato visitors.

But the two sides were evenly match and only a disputed firsthalf penalty gave Manukau a 1-0 victory. The other cause for optimism was the courage shown by Cambridge’s reserves in their game against Manukau, fighting back from 5-1 to snatch a thrilling 5-5 draw.

Cambridge’s goal scorers were Andrew Taylor (penalty), Nathan Hallum (2), Fabian Munoz and Adam Brady who scored his third goal in as many games for the side.

Cambridge has also benefitted

from the recruitment of coach Paul Richardson who has left Matamata Swifts, where he took the club to second place in the WaiBOP Premiership last year, behind champions Cambridge.

Richardson will coach Cambridge’s team in this year’s WaiBOP Championship. His team plays a friendly match against Te Aroha at John Kerkhof Park on Saturday, kicking off at 2.45pm.

Last Sunday, more than 300 boys and girls took part in a day of grading games to be allocated to teams of appropriate levels.

The club believes this year’s registrations – which are still open – could exceed last season when more than 500 youngsters signed to play football.

Cambridge ladies’ golf

Cambridge's Gemma Bailey (red shirt) takes on the Otumoetai defence.

The Wednesday March 7 competition saw Pauline McGlade and Wendy Browne top scored with 69 nett each in the Home Links events. 9 Hole ladies played round 1 of the National Sue Bunt competition, Joy Bell scored 39 nett. Cabby Keyte won the stableford scramble with 19 points followed by Kaye Male, Joy Bell and Lesley Wilkinson all on 18. LGU 1 winners are Wendy Browne, Kay Brennan, Pauline McGlade and Lesley Wilkinson.

Jill Morgan has been selected in the Waikato team to play in the NZ Women’s Masters’ tournament in April, with Sian Stevenson reserve. Nancy MacCormick Foursomes over 36 holes on Saturday, March 10, saw Shelley Scrafton score 71 nett and once again Barbara Read top scored in the 9 Hole group with 22 stableford points ahead of Anita Lafferty’s 17. Division 1 and 3 Championship Pennant teams recorded wins on Sunday 11.

“It was tough, but in the same token I knew that it wasn’t the end of the dream, so just for that reason it was actually quite enlightening because it made me realise it was a hundred per cent what I wanted to do and where I wanted to be.”

Sam began training this week alongside other members of the U23 team, and coach Matt Cameron, out of the Waikato Regional

Performance Centre next to Mighty River Domain.

“There’s something about being on the water… you just don’t really want to be anywhere else,” said Sam. “We go to these places that you wouldn’t necessarily travel to, and that in itself is very exciting because you’re seeing completely different parts of the world. The (Poznan) course itself, is rumoured to be fairly

fast, so that’s going to be quite exciting as well, hopefully there’s going to be some awesome times put down.”

Sam will transfer next door to the Rowing NZ High Performance Centre towards the end of April, training from there until the U23 team flies to Poland in July two weeks out from the competition.

Advertorial

We may doubt that our prevalent, rather garish, yellow variety will evoke such longing in the hearts of New Zealanders, but next October take a moment to sit under this specimen growing close to the clock tower in Victoria Street. It may not be tall but the spread of its branches is magnificent, and viewed from beneath in the late spring, before its leaves have yellowed, it forms a beautiful light green shade canopy, most calming to the soul.

But enough mawkishness! We do

Cambridge Tree Trust wishes to thank:

indeed have some examples of the true English elm; go to Te Koutu park where you can see a number of mutilated specimens on the bank.

No doubt our council staff, more concerned with the tree’s reputation as the ‘widow-maker’ as it drops big branches without warning, would prefer the following jingle: Elem hateth man And waiteth.

Is there a connection here with the fact that elm is the traditional wood for coffins?

Treble in the Auckland Cup Carnival

By Candice Gollan

Cambridge trainer Stephen Marsh added two more successes to his Auckland Cup carnival campaign at Ellerslie on Saturday.

The five-year-old daughter of Bernardini, Ruud Not Too (pictured below) notched up her sixth victory when she dashed away from some tough competition to take out the $50,000 Royal Descent Stakes (1600m).

Ruud Not Too had raced 1400m the previous week at Ellerslie after a nail-biting second-place behind Yearn.

Jockey Danielle Johnson was confident that Ruud Not Too would prefer the mile distance.

“We knew she backs up well and looking at the field, she had beaten these types of horses before, so I was pretty confident,” Johnson said.

She has had a successful career that includes the Group Two Rich Hill Mile (1600m) among her victories.

Go Racing syndications manager Albert Bosma, purchased the mare for $220,000 from the Cambridge Stud draft at the 2014 Karaka Premier sale.

Ruud Not Too is raced by the Go Racing Breeding Partnership.

Bosma advised that the Ruud Not Too’s next target would be the Group One Fibre Fresh NZ Thoroughbred Breeders Stakes (1600m) at Te Aroha on 7 April.

Marsh kept it in the family with four-year-old son of Road To Rock, Bevan Street and his win in the Piazza D’oro (1200m).

Bevan Street is owned by Bruce and Kay Marsh and was ridden by jockey and partner, Danielle Johnson.

“I hope they’re good slingers,” Marsh said.

Johnson and Bevan Street settled wide midfield, at the 300m challenged the leaders and then flew home comfortably to hold out Silver Cloud to win by three-quarters of a length.

“I think there’s a lot of improvement in him. He’s going to go through the grades,” Johnson said.

Bevan Street won his first two trials, then won on debut.

“He’s always shown us heaps,” Marsh said.

Group One win for training duo

The six-year-old son of Mastercraftsman, Saint Emilion coasted a long in his usual position in front with jockey Leith Innes and held his competition off.

Cambridge training duo, Murray Baker and Andrew Forsman were full of praise for Saint Emilion and Innes.

“It worked out perfectly and Leith rode him a treat, in that mood he’s hard to catch,” Forsman said. “He was just cruising, and he really deserved that,” he Saint Emilion took out his 13th career win on Saturday. Photo by Trish Dunell.

Heritage Pools Ltd has been involved in the design and construction of swimming pools and spas for 35 years. Our pools reflect the latest trends in pool design and technology. Over this time Heritage Pools are proud to of earned an enviable reputation within the pool industry. This reputation extends to our clients, designing and constructing pools of uncompromising quality.

In combination with the structural integrity of a steel reinforced concrete structure, a fully tiled pool provides the ultimate medium for your pool surface. With the use of modern adhesives, epoxy grouts and waterproof membranes the pool surface is 100 per cent waterproof.

The tiles provide a smooth surface that is easy to clean and maintain. With the use of porcelain and glass tiles in any size or format you can create unique colours, textures and features unsurpassed by any other pool surface. With the use of a reinforced concrete structure we are able build in any situation and many of our pools are fully engineered for a particular site.

Why choose a structural-based pool?

A structural pool does not require the passive strength of the ground surrounding it to provide any strength to the structure.

A non-structural pool is backfilled against the excavated ground as the water is put in the pool. Remove the water and the pool no longer has the same structural integrity and is in danger of collapse from the pressure of the back fill and the surrounding soil.

At Heritage Pools we also provide a comprehensive Landscape Design and Construction service. We take you through a full design process and then manage and construct all of the work with our own staff.

Heritage Pools Ltd is a licensed member of the New Zealand Landscape Industries Association.

For 30 years the company has provided clients the assurance they are dealing with a company who has been independently certified that their work and business practices meet the high standards of the association.

All or our pools are designed by our engineer to ensure the Pool structurally meets the requirements of the building site and the NZ Building Code.

Morrinsville golfer wins South Island Long Drive Champs

Alex Lunn (right) “fist bumps” his opponent Chase Mckeown in the final of the South Island Champs.

Morrinsville Golf Club’s Alex Lunn put in a consistent display to win the South Island Long Drive Golf Championships at Clearwater Golf Club over the weekend in testing conditions.

Lunn was too strong for Akarana Golf Club pro, Chase McKeown in the grand finale. But it was in the semifinal that he struggled initially before hitting the winning shot on his last ball to win over Iain Dick from St Andrews Golf Club in Hamilton with a drive of 269 metres, 10 more than his opponent.

With the wind turning from a breeze in the morning to a strong headwind as the day progressed Lunn was still able to hit a best distance of 282m to win the eight-ball final against McKeown who hit a top shot of 279m.

Earlier McKeown had accounted for Takapuna

Golf Club’s Gareth Campbell in his semifinal with a best drive of 277m compared to his rivals 264m.

By winning the South Island tile Lunn advances to the final of the North Island Long Drive Championships on March 24.

The longest drive of the day was by McKeown with 295m in the second round while Paul West (Pupuke Golf Club, Auckland) scored the second longest distance with 288m and 18-year-old Thomas Woods from Mirimar Golf Club tried his hand at Long Drive for the first time and managed a best distance of 285m.

Players now prepare for the North Island and New Zealand Long Drive

champs Saturday 24 March at Omaha Beach Golf Club followed by the New Zealand Open featuring international players at the same venue the following day.

Both events reward the winners a place in the world long drive championships in the United States in September.

Cricketers secure Mike Cotter Cup The Diprose Miller Morrinsville-Piako cricket team won the Waikato Valley Mike Cotter Cup last weekend following a stunning defeat over the Otorohanga Pandas.

The Morrinsville-Piako team travelled away to take on the Otorohanga in the oneday competition, winning the toss to allow captain Jatinder Singh to bowl first, with open bowlers Jayden Van den Heuval and Liam Koch making a great start in the field.

A direct hit run out from keeper Jake O’Connor and a spectacular boundary catch from Adam Michels highlighted Morrinsville’s excellence in the field.

The Morrinsville-Piako innings was anchored by Jake O’Connor who finished with a spectacular 81, which included 7 fours and 3 sixes.

Captain Singh hit the winning runs with

Morrinsville-Piako reaching the total in the 32nd over to secure the Waikato Valley Mike

Cotter Cup, their first piece of silverware in the club’s history.

What is the Golden Rosycross?

Always keen to try new things, Claire Castle headed along to a Golden Rosycross discussion group at Karapiro.

Like many people, I’ve been driving past the Lectorium Rosicrucianum facility in Karapiro for years without knowing what was down the driveway.

Whether it was the Latin name, or the total ignorance on my part, I was a bit intimidated by it and wondered if there might be some kind of secret handshake required to get in the door. It seemed mysterious.

With a long history, the Spiritual School of the Golden Rosycross looks at the gem of truth behind all religions, and according to its website it’s for people who are seekers with a yearning for the spiritual renewal of life. ‘The aim of the Golden Rosycross is to guide its pupils through the original Christian

path of initiation towards transfiguration (change to a spiritual state), through insight and knowledge of the essential meaning of life, so that the Divine Spark within the human being - the Rose of the heart - will be awakened.’ Which sounded quite good to me – I’m all for awakening – and while I do not have a religious bone in my body* I thought it would be interesting to go along and find out more.

The topic for our discussion was to be ‘every person possesses a Spiritual essence within them. It does have an effect’, but as organiser Lee Munro explained it is very much led by the people who are attending. It was a small group, and we delved into a discussion that covered everything from the youth of today to the demise of the nuclear family (don’t get me started).

The hour and a half went very quickly, and on the drive home my mind was buzzing with ideas. And there were also biscuits, including chocolate ones.

Anyone can attend the group, so if you are interested in getting together with a group of thinkers to discuss some of life’s bigger questions, you should pop out there and join in. It was certainly the most thought-provoking 7.30 – 9pm on a Tuesday night I’ve had in recent memory, and it felt much more virtuous than sitting on the couch watching Married at First Sight.

And you don’t even need to learn a secret No secret handshake required at the Lectorium Rosicrucianum in Karapiro.

When it comes to outdoor shade solutions, it’s definitely not a case of one size fits all.

Bruce Edwards Upholstery offers expect advice on the best outdoor shade solution for your place, as well as a large selection of shade solutions to choose from.

“I will visit your property and offer advice on the best solutions, whether that be my products or something that will work in tandem with my products,” says owner Bruce Edwards.

One of the company’s biggest sellers is Ziptrak blinds which keep outdoor areas cool in summer and warm in winter, allowing you to enjoy your outdoor lifestyle no matter what the season.

The blinds come in avariety of high-tech quality fabrics, mesh or clear PVC with specially designed tracks on both sides of the blind to glide smoothly and easily, stopping anywhere you want.

The company offers a wide range of shade sails, including custom-made and ready-made for those who prefer a DIY option.

Awnings are another speciality of Bruce Edwards Upholstery, providing weatherproof protection for both residential and commercial patios, entrance ways and exposed areas.

They can be manual or motorised and feature removable posts, a revel or face fix, reverse handle and a pull stick for hard-to-reach blinds.

Shade sails are also a popular outdoor shade solution, including retractablewave shades that are ideal for people with Clearlite or open frame pergolas.

“By adding a wave shade you can cut down the heat in these pergolas by about 15 percent,” says Bruce. “And in winter you can simply unclip them and put them away.’

Options include fixed frame and folding arm awnings which can either be operated by a gearbox with a handle, or automated with the press of a button.

The company also offers a wide range of Shade 7 umbrellas, including cantilever, market and commercial umbrellas.

“The Riviera cantilever is our most popular umbrella,” says Bruce. “Because there is no centre post you can direct the shade wherever you want it without the post getting in the way. It’s also strong and sturdy and can handle winds of up to 60kph.”

Civic Choir coming to Cambridge Hamilton Civic Choir are bringing their regional tour to Cambridge next weekend, dubbed “From Hamilton to New York” as their impending international tour looms.

Following a call from Distinguished Concerts International New York (DCINY) inviting them to perform at Carnegie Hall in New York in April this year, they are performing in Cambridge and Te Awamutu this month – where the choir’s New York tour was first announced.

For this concert, MD Timothy Carpenter, a former St Peter’s student, draws his inspiration from FennoScandinavian composers such as Carl

Neilsen, Jaakko Mäntyjärvi and Ola Gjeilo. It was Gjeilo’s Ubi Caritas which first led Hamilton Civic Choir to be discovered by DCINY, and Carpenter said that it was the allure of the Nordic treatment of tonality that inspired him to conceive this repertoire.

The Cambridge show on Saturday, March 24 takes place at St Andrew’s Church, 5pm, with tickets for adults $25, tertiary students and seniors $15, school students free. Door sales only.

Cambridge news has a double pass to give away– just send your full name and contact number to: sophie@ cambridgenews.nz by 5pm, Tuesday March 20.

Cambridge Scottish Country Dance Club is inviting locals to head along to the club night, Welcome Ceilidh, on Wednesday, March 21, at 7.30pm, at St Andrews Hall on the corner of Victoria St and Hamilton Rd.

All ages enjoy Scottish country dancing (SCD) and there are groups all around New Zealand and the world.

SCD is a sociable dance form with roots stretching back for centuries. Participants are grouped

in to sets, typically of three, four or five couples arranged either in lines or in a square, and work together to dance a sequence of formations.

This will leave them in a new order, and the dance is repeated

Members of the Cambridge Scottish Country Dance Club demonstrate the dance.

Set in the Holy Land in the first century, a young woman leaves her small fishing village and traditional family behind to join a radical new social movement. At its head is a charismatic leader, Jesus of Nazareth (Joaquin Phoenix), who promises that the world is changing. Mary (Rooney Mara) is searching for a new way of living and an authenticity that is denied her by the rigid hierarchies of the day. As the notoriety of the group spread and more are drawn to follow Jesus' inspirational message, Mary's spiritual journey places her at the heart of a story that will lead to the capital city of Jerusalem, where she must confront the reality of Jesus' destiny and her own place within it.

FILM STARS

(TBC)

Set in the glamour of 1950’s post-war London, renowned dressmaker Reynolds Woodcock (Daniel Day-Lewis) and his sister Cyril (Lesley Manville) are at the centre of British fashion, dressing royalty, movie stars, heiresses, socialites, debutantes and dames with the distinct style of The House of Woodcock.

Women come and go through Woodcock’s life, providing the confirmed bachelor with inspiration and companionship, until he comes across a young, strong-willed woman, Alma (Vicky Krieps), who soon becomes a fixture in his life as his muse and lover. Once controlled and planned, he finds his carefully tailored life disrupted by love. With his latest film, Paul Thomas Anderson paints a portrait of an artist on a journey, and the women who keep his world running.
