Waterboy changing lives By Claire Castle
C
AMBRIDGE businesses have gotten behind a local organisation that aims to get Kiwis into sport. Thomas Nabbs, founder of the Waterboy, grew up in Cambridge and started his fledgling charity work here. With a strong belief that every Kiwi should have the opportunity to participate in sport, Thomas has made it his mission to ensure that lack of money doesn’t stop people getting involved. Sport is part of New Zealand society, building skills, wellbeing and pride, Thomas said, adding that “a lot of people don’t have access, and it breaks my heart because it’s part of being a Kiwi.” It was from this belief in the value of sport that the Waterboy was born. The initiative had its first sponsored outing in 2016, when they partnered with Cambridge businesses to get kids at Leamington School the subscriptions and uniforms they needed to play rugby and netball. Five Stags was the major sponsor of that initiative, and has continued to support the Waterboy. Shaw’s Wire Ropes, Powdercoating NZ and the Stihl Shop have also
jumped on board. But his biggest supporter has always been his dad, local lawyer Brian Nabbs, Thomas said. “He has put more than you could imagine into it, but he takes no credit,” he added. On Friday, Thomas brought some of the latest recipients out to Cambridge so they could meet their sponsors. Hamilton couple Craig Armstrong and Ocean Stephens are two of the 25 people on the charity’s books at the moment. The blind duo will be competing in the Hamilton half marathon next week, and have been receiving sponsorship from Powdercoating NZ to allow them to go to the gym for their training. Craig said being able to go to the gym had been invaluable in their lead up to the race. Also out for a visit was 11-year old girl LillianRose Ritchie, the oldest of six children at home with a solo mum. A local couple is supporting Lillian-Rose, allowing her to join inline hockey club the Hamilton Devils. “I love inline hockey, and now I have the chance to do it,” she said. Since its inception, the
The Waterboy founder Thomas Nabbs; inline hockey player Lillian-Rose Ritchie; Ocean Stephens and Craig Armstrong were in town accompanied by JJ the guide dog to thank local sponsors of the Waterboy. Waterboy has grown from strength to strength, moving to Hamilton at the start of the year. “Because that’s where the greater need was,” Thomas said. Thomas has also been speaking at high schools to try and combat homophobia in sport, joined by rower Robbie Mansen and rugby player Tawera Kerr-Barlow. “Being a teenager is hard enough,” he pointed out, “without having one of the known perfect remedies for stress (sport) and be
excluded from it.” The organisation is currently raising funds to carry out more of these talks, reassuring students who do not identify as straight that sexuality is not a reason to do sport. It also aims to let straight students know that using derogatory terms can deeply affect people and put them off accepting themselves and participating in sport. And from there? “Nationwide”, Thomas said with a grin.

In an outrageous turn of events, it transpires that Cambridge is NOT in fact the most beautiful town in the country. In a shocking twist, Feilding has snatched first place. Speechless. Disappointment aside, at least it has stopped raining for more than 10 minutes at a time and now it is windy instead. It hasn’t dried out enough to drain the town pool yet, but we will keep an eye on that for you. Sophie and I have been out and about over the past week, heading to Equidays at Mystery Creek over the weekend. Even if you hardly know one end of the horse from the other, it’s still a good time and a great atmosphere. I also went to an Ethical Fashion show on Saturday night, feeling deeply uncomfortable that most of my clothes appear to be made in Bangladesh (one of the worst places to be a
factory worker). The clip of a woman talking about her experience working in a clothing factory, best described as slavery, was particularly difficult to watch and I for one will be making some changes. Luckily, though, there are alternatives and even some that will fit within a budget that features instant noodles quite prominently, so I’ll be looking into those. And all the while we are still waiting for Winston to make up his mind, but we seem to be managing alright in the meantime. Makes you wonder, really.

Competition is heating up for Forest and Bird’s annual Bird of the Year awards. Every year, the search is on for New Zealand’s favourite native bird. This year, the kea appears to be a sure bet, thousands of votes ahead of the other nominees. Each bird in the running has a short bio and photo along with their environmental status on their profile, everything from ‘doing OK’ to ‘in serious trouble’. There has been a controversy surrounding the white-faced heron, which a computer programmer identified had over 100 fraudulent votes cast for it on the first day of the competition. All 112 votes came from a computer in the Christchurch area, not thought to be owned by a white-faced heron. Rules of the competition allow only one vote per person, so the fraudulent votes have now been discounted. Voting closes on Monday October 23, so if you have a favourite bird get on to www.birdoftheyear.org.nz and get voting.

First place for Cambridge rider By Sophie Iremonger Cambridge’s Andrea Kewish (pictured below) was thrilled to come away from the show jumping amateur rider series at Equidays with a first-place finish on Sunday. Riding her horse Spring Fling, she finished the first round against 30 competitors perfectly, with no rails down. She was one of eight competitors to make it through to the final, a shorter jump-off round
which Kewish competed in first. All other competitors ran the course afterward, but no one could beat Kewish’s top time, one came close by just a fraction of a second, but it wasn’t enough to beat the Cambridge rider. “Riding is my hobby so it’s really nice when you get a reward like that, because there’s obviously a lot of time and effort that goes into preparing for shows and things,” said the 42-year-old mother and
businesswoman. “The other thing that I guess was a real highlight for me with this was that they awarded a sash ribbon and a cover for the winner of that class. In the amateur class we don’t often get to compete for covers and things so everyone wanted to win one, that was pretty cool being presented with that… so yeah I’m absolutely thrilled!” Despite the wildly windy weather on the day, Kewish was rapt with her horse’s
performance. “There was a lot going on around us, with all the flags and music playing and cows being rounded up, so the atmosphere was not really something she enjoyed but she’s really good when she gets in the ring, just focusing on what the job is and doing her thing.” Up next on the equestrian calendar, Kewish will be competing in the APL Show Jumping Waikato Festival in November, also being held at Mystery Creek.

Poolwatch Due to the recent shocking weather the water table is still too high to allow for the emptying and cleaning of the Cambridge pool, so there is still no opening date available. With the water table being so high, Go Waipa has said the risk of emptying the pool is too great and ground pressure could damage the pool’s structure if it is emptied. Updates will be available via the GoWaipa website and Facebook pages.

Cheap clothes come at huge cost Every time we shop, we have a vote. It’s a vote that you make more than every three years. By Claire Castle That was one of the messages at the weekend’s ethical fashion show in Cambridge. Statistics on global consumption of clothing are alarming, with an estimated 30% of new clothing in Britain going straight to the dump and 11 million tonnes of clothes ending up in landfills every year in the United States. This has been due to the rise of “fast fashion”, cheap, low-quality clothing that is designed to have a quick turnover in people’s wardrobes. “There has been a 400% increase in the number of clothes and textiles consumed in the last 20 years,” Claire Hart from Tear Fund told the crowd. This massive increase has come at the expense of factory workers, often in developing countries, who are forced into a situation little better than slavery, she said. “The degree of exploitation is appalling and it can seem very
distant from us.” A panel made up of Kath Lind, Amie Berghan, Tori Vaysey and the night’s co-organiser Mel Moore then took to the stage for a discussion about their own ethical fashion journeys. Tori said she found it surprisingly easy to find second-hand clothing (excluding underwear and socks), while Kath went through a step-by-step process for purchasing new clothes. First and foremost, the question to ask is “do I really need it?” she said. Then how can we get it second hand, and go for quality over quantity if you have to buy new. “Buying New Zealand made will cost more, but it will last a lot longer,” she said. Claire Hart then walked the crowd through Tear Fund’s Ethical Fashion Guide, which gives companies a grade using 40 criteria across three stages of the supply chain – raw materials, fabric mills and end stage
production. Clothing companies Tear Fund approaches either say “we hear from customers that they want improvement” or “we don’t think our customers care about this”, Claire said. One company owner told her they could not make their
business model work if there were regulations in their factories. “Look, basically I’m trying to keep people in New Zealand employed, I don’t have time to care about people in the factories,” he told her. The time is now to
speak up, otherwise business owners like this will think all that matters to their customers is price, she said. “If you don’t shop at the shops, the shops won’t exist,” Claire added. Rounding out the night was a fashion parade,
with only ethical clothing on the catwalk including garments from Cotton On – proof that it can be done, and at an affordable price. Visit www.tearfund.org.nz for a downloadable version of the Ethical Fashion Guide

MORTGAGE MATTERS
Refinancing Your Mortgage By Gavin Lynch – Yes Mortgages Refinancing your mortgage is the process of changing your mortgage lending from your existing lender to a new lender. Refinancing is a common practice for any of these reasons: • You don’t like the lender you are with. You’ve experienced poor service, problems with staff, or high account fees. • You want to borrow more money but the lender won’t allow it. Perhaps you want to consolidate debt, borrow to purchase a rental property or a vehicle, or put working capital into a business. • You have ‘outgrown’ your existing lender and want to move forward. This is common for self-employed people with a growing business, or for investors with an increasing portfolio. • Your lender has asked you to refinance. You may be in arrears with mortgage repayments or you need to restructure your mortgage.
Town Hall under review A feasibility study is underway to assess how to maximise use of the Cambridge town hall. The hall is a category two historic building owned by Waipa District Council and recognised by Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga. It was designed and built more than 100 years ago and remains a Cambridge focal point. The town hall gets sporadic use, hosting between 17-20 weddings a year as well as other functions. But its age means it has some shortcomings, making it unappealing and unusable for some groups.
They include a lack of catering facilities and technical equipment and an impractical stage and backstage area. Currently the income received from hall users falls well short of covering the annual costs to maintain the building. Ken Morris group manager business support said the council is committed to preserving and maintaining the town hall which he says is an iconic Cambridge landmark. “It’s a stunning building and as part of our heritage we have an obligation and a desire to preserve and maintain it,” he said.
“But we should invest in a way that enables the community to get maximum use from the hall. It could be a real drawcard so let’s leverage that. But to do so, we need to understand the perspective of users and potential users and have a very clear idea of what might need to change in the future.” The feasibility study will consider a range of issues including the town hall’s current use, perceived shortcomings and what it does and doesn’t offer in comparison to other venues. Consideration will be also given to possible operating and funding
models, including best use of the i-SITE space at the rear of the hall, the forecourt plaza and Jubilee Gardens. Discussions have begun with user groups and other interested parties with a report expected back to council later this month. The report will recommend any changes, including any upgrades to amenities. If change is to be considered, recommendations on what to do and what it might cost will be included in the council’s draft 10-year plan. The draft 10-year plan will be formally shared with the community for feedback in March next year.
Refinancing can involve costs such as break fees from the existing lender, solicitors’ fees, valuation charges etc, but we can help get cash contributions from your new lender to help offset these costs. At Yes Mortgages, we can outline the costs involved and find the best new lender to fit your current situation from the 25 or so different lenders available. In most instances, our service is FREE to you. Generally the benefits of refinancing outweigh the costs involved but bear in mind: Refinancing your mortgage must benefit and add value to YOU. Let us do the work to find you the best lender for your situation.

Crowd flocks to pooch racing
By Sophie Iremonger
The Cambridge Raceway went barking-mad on Sunday when Pooch Racing 2017 got underway. Over 350 people and 189 dogs gathered for the annual event, which raises money for Assistance Dogs NZ while also giving families the chance to race their pet dogs on the Greyhound racetrack. “This year’s event went exceptionally well, there is always room for improvement, but our focus is always about offering a family oriented day where it’s all about the community coming together and having a great day out with their pooches, kids and or partners,” said one of the event organisers, Hui Martin. “Thank you to all the participants and entrants that came from all around the North Island, and the sponsors, especially our major sponsor Hill’s Pet Nutrition.” The sponsorship enabled organisers to give out sleeping bags and food for every pooch that entered. “They made it memorable for everyone,” said Martin. The title of Big Dog Grand Prix winner for the day went to an out of town border collie, Edge Teao of Tauranga. A fox terrier by the name of Sammie Singers placed first in the Small Dogs Grand Prix and also won the big grand final to be Colleen Ryan (right) and her papillon Pearl, winner of her Little Dog crowned Pooch Racing Champ 2017.

Cambridge not pretty enough
Advertorial
Come join Cambridge Tree Trust – we are looking for new members! If you are interested, come along Tuesday morning, or telephone Don Willoughby on 07 827-8051
Plane trees line Hall St, the most beautiful street in Cambridge are too narrow for a decent-sized The London Plane (Platanus x acerifolia), is the quintessential urban liquidamber or claret ash, the town is in danger of becoming the Town of tree that along with the English oak was the basis for early town Shrubs and Brown Wooden Fences. But what about the social, health and planting in Cambridge. A hybrid environmental investment? Long after of the Eastern plane of Turkey and Greece and the western plane of the the developers have gone residents have to live with the results of their Americas, its great attractions are fourfold: in autumn the soft yellow miserly short-sightedness. It is well of its leaves, in winter the graceful past time that council came up with a solution for this dilemma. We arching tracery of its weeping twigs, the year-round beauty of its marbled need a policy and planning rules that provides for at least all playgrounds, bark, and the power of its form to ‘save town architecture from itself’. As Hugh Johnson writes, ‘streets where it is allowed to fulfil itself, as it is in countless Provencal villages, are among the most stately, be the houses mere hovels.’
all roundabouts and all arterial routes through subdivisions to incorporate large trees such as these to provide these wonderful streetscapes for future generations. Furthermore all greenfields developments should be obliged to retain all mature trees. This would be a start but it is time for the Cambridge community to have serious conversations about these matters and bring pressure to bear on council. They are supposed to represent residents, not developers.
By Sophie Iremonger Cambridge’s beauty and excellence was not recognised at the Keep New Zealand Beautiful awards on Friday night, Fielding instead took the title as the country’s most beautiful large town for the 16th time. It was Cambridge’s first attempt at entering the awards this year, and Josh Easby, the Cambridge local who nominated our town with the help of Michael Jeans and others, said it’s simply a chance to better our entry next year. “The judging criteria cover a wide range of topics about how communities work to beautify their towns - everything from reducing waste and coping with litter or graffiti, to community-led projects that create a pleasant environment for residents and visitors,” he said. “It’s not just about the visual beauty of a town. “We found good examples this year - the Trees Trust and the Community Gardens, for instance - but we know there are others doing great things and we need to share their stories as well.” Easby said the experience of putting together Cambridge’s entry highlighted ways that volunteer groups can show they are working to beautify the town, to help with next year’s entry. He said he’s keen to contact local groups ahead of the next round.
This is the kind of stunning streetscape that gives Cambridge its reputation as Town of Trees, but for how much longer? As the population grows rapidly and developers grind out every last cent from their financial investment by cramming houses on to tiny sections incapable of accommodating even a modest-sized shade tree, and even the streets
Cambridge Tree Trust wishes to thank:
In announcing the winning town, Judges described Fielding as a place where people are “met with red-bricked pavements and streets, stunning flower beds, and a warm elegance… walking into shops you are met with a friendly smile, and kind hospitality”. One might say it sounds like a description of Cambridge – the two towns even boast similar clock towers in the CBD. But winning towns and cities are not allowed to enter the awards the following year, so with Feilding out of contention next year, Cambridge will get an even better chance to lay claim to the award. “The calibre of entries for the 2017 Beautiful Awards was very high, which made judging extremely difficult!” said one of the judges, Heather Saunderson. “With regards to the Most Beautiful Large Town Award, our 3 finalists were all worthy winners… Cambridge’s entry was very strong, which was great to see and we strongly encourage the passionate community to keep up all of their great work. And, who knows what the 2018 Beautiful Awards may bring!” “The awards are an excellent way of encouraging communities to take pride in their towns and while we were delighted to make the finals this year, let’s keep trying to do the best we can every year,” Easby said.

740 Te Rapa Rd, Te Rapa Hamilton Council-owned pensioner housing, including Cambridge’s Dallinger Court, will be affected by changes to council policy designed to ensure ongoing affordability.
Pensioner housing changes mooted
Waipa District Council wants to change its pensioner housing policy to ensure rents remain affordable. The Council owns 129 one and two-bedroom pensioner housing units across eight complexes in Cambridge, Kihikihi and Te Awamutu. The 138 tenants pay market rents for the units; rents are not subsidised by ratepayers. The move to market rents was made in 2015 with rents set by an independent valuer. The amount of rent paid is dependent on the complex and size of the unit. Council is proposing to change its policy to ensure future pensioner housing rents, after taking into account the government accommodation supplement, will be no greater than 30 per cent of the gross amount of National Superannuation. Property manager John Miles said the proposed change will not have a significant impact on most existing tenants. But it would provide protection against rents rising to unaffordable levels in the future. “We’re conscious of the increasing cost of living and know full well that having a limited income can make it difficult for older people to manage,” Miles said. “Given that, we think it’s appropriate to lock in some formal protections so tenants can enjoy their units with some certainty about what the future holds.” Council is also proposing to change its policy to ensure that, in future, units will only be available to those aged 65 and over. A small number of existing tenants are currently aged under 65. They would be welcome to stay on in their units even if the change goes ahead, Miles said. Any change would only affect future applicants. The council is consulting with existing tenants on the proposed changes before they are formally considered by elected members later in the year.

A woman in Whitehall is making a difference for local wildlife, recently saving a clutch of ducklings whose mother had been hit by a car. “Their mother and two of them had unfortunately just been killed by a car, and as fate would have it, it was me who came along next,” Coyla Kissling said. The six ducklings were still huddled around their mother on the road when Coyla found them on September 29, and appeared to be just a few hours old. “They were so little, and the road was busy,” said Coyla. “Another lady stopped and helped me, she was quite upset… that’s why I posted on the Cambridge Grapevine Facebook page that they had been rescued, so that she could see that they were okay.” Coyla said she has become somewhat of a “mad duck lady” over the years. “I seem to have rescued all the ones around the area, when they’ve got injured or orphaned. “I’ve got 13 altogether, not including the ducklings. I try not to handle them too much, because I’ll let them down in our wetland when they’re big enough, and they can go wild, live naturally.” The six young ducklings have been adopted by the farm’s ‘Mother Goose’, Lucinda, or ‘Luce the goose’ as Coyla calls her. “She stepped up and took over,” Coyla explained. “They were newborn ducklings at the time too, so she just became Mother Goose really.”
Luce the goose can be very protective of her new brood, and often hisses at any strangers that come near. “It will be a few more weeks until they have their feathers and can sleep with her outside at night, but for now I keep them inside with the heat pump, much to Luce’s annoyance. “But then she’s got her other grown up babies that she sleeps with. She knows about what time I take them out in the morning and so she’s there waiting, if I’m not out on time she’ll come and honk outside the bedroom until I get up, so I don’t get to sleep in!” Coyla laughed. Though Coyla raises her ducks to be wild if they want to, they tend to enjoy sticking around home. In fact one duck, lovingly named MacIntosh, was a wild duck that came and joined the family a few years ago. “I was just sitting out here one day and he came wandering up the driveway!” Coyla said. Being Mallards, the ducklings are known for being good flyers. “So they’ll decide whether they want to hang around here and fly around, or go off someplace else. Hopefully they’ll stick around a bit, because duck shooting season is a nightmare for me!” said Coyla. “I’m just so glad I came across them.”

Change is good at gardens By Aaron Ure, Cambridge Community Gardens A long winter looks to finally be on the slow march out the door. Despite the weather the gardens continue to change. These last few weeks we have seen some amazing things pop out of the ground. The Cambridge Lions have donated a long needed commercial strength Rotary hoe to help break up the ground, and our
back and knees are sighing in relief. The impact of this one machine will have a lasting effect as we plough and sow from season to season. Thank you to the Lions and everyone that supports them with time, donations and shed sales. Another group have brought our Pergola to the next stage of development with the roofing and flooring put in place. I was almost in tears when I popped down on Friday
afternoon and saw the amazing progress they had made. Twenty-four hours, that’s all it takes to change a frame into a pergola. Thank you to Frank G for the frame, M10 for ground prep and strengthening materials, Cambridge Glass for roofing and labour, Cambridge Hire for brick cutter, Te Miro School for moving the pavers and Bill Christensen for laying them, and the path to come, Marty Burton for digging
out the pathways and our wonderful community for providing the pavers. Next on our agenda is the creation of a barbecue and pizza oven area and the raising/redesigning of our front beds for easier access and optimum growing. Thank you, Cambridge, for being such a giving and interactive community. Remember: when we work, we harvest. Check us out on Facebook: www.facebook.com/groups/ CCGardens/

Fresh air, a cure for TB In September 1902 part of the Thornton’s property on Maungakawa Hill (Pukemako), including the homestead, was sold to the Government for £4,000 to establish the first open-air sanatorium for tuberculosis sufferers in New Zealand. “It is difficult to imagine more magnificent scenery,” said Dr Malcolm Mason, Chief Health Officer, when reporting to the Health Department. At the time, a sanatorium already operated at the foot of the Maungakawa Hill. Cambridge had the reputation as a haven for tuberculosis sufferers because its climate was considered one of the driest in the North Island. The road to the summit of Maungakawa Hill was upgraded at a cost of £3,000. Although the Thornton’s homestead was large, two more wings were added. The Government built an electricity generator on the property as well as a reservoir for fresh water. Once the “Te Waikato Sanatorium” opened in 1903, the Department of Health was flooded with applications from patients. The maximum period of treatment allowed was six months, except under special circumstances. Initially the sanatorium could handle up to 30 patients, but with the addition of numerous one-bed chalets, this was increased to 60. At the peak of its operation the institution treated 160 patients annually. The one-
bed chalets, measuring just 3.35 x 2.75m could be opened on three sides.
Chalets w here patie nts under open-air went treatmen t at Te W Sanatoriu aikato m, Camb ridge.
The Matron, Miss Annie Rochfort, managed the nursing and housekeeping, as well as furnishing, bookkeeping, correspondence and supervising the garden and farming operations. She introduced handcrafts to her patients. Dr Roberts of Cambridge was the first medical officer. He was replaced in 1904 by Dr Penreath who became the first resident Medical Superintendent at the sanatorium. During the First World War the sanatorium was commandeered as a convalescence hospital for servicemen, with its capacity increased to 100 beds. Occupational therapy continued under Matron E. Brown, and Medical Officer Colonel G.M. Scott. Many veterans recalled the good deeds of the “marvellous Cambridge ladies” who provided knitted cardigans and socks and baskets of fruit. In 1922 Te Waikato Sanatorium was closed. Today, all that remains of the sanatorium is one small concrete building.

Tauwhare couple, Isla and Melini Taufalele, are busy preparing for a series of events this weekend to mark the 200th anniversary of the birth of Baha’u’llah, founder of the Baha’i Faith. Originally from Tonga, Melini was born into a large Baha’i family. The oneness of humanity is at the core of their belief. “Growing up as a Baha’i in Tonga had its challenges as the villages are traditionally Christian,” says Melini. “We believe that religions have the same common thread, but were revealed at different times in man’s history, so the social teachings can differ. This is a fundamental concept to us.” Isla, a former secondary school chemistry teacher, became a Baha’i as a young adult after learning about the Baha’i Faith in the Solomon Islands. The couple works extensively with Hamilton’s Tongan community helping adults
and children gain greater academic and life skills. They will be hosting a large Tongan gathering on Saturday at Tauwhare Community Hall to celebrate the bicentenary. Sunday morning from 9.00am – 1.00pm is open to the public. “We are inviting anyone who is interested to come and view displays and Baha’u’llah’s authentic writings,” said Isla.
Tributes in honour of the bicentenary are pouring into Baha’i communities from local and national leaders around the world. Former US President Jimmy Carter and British Prime Minister, Theresa May, are among those to shower praise on the efforts Baha’is are making to eliminate prejudice and progress the well-being of humanity. The Rt. Hon Bill English
has also acknowledged the significance of the anniversary and praised the country’s diversity. Around 2,100 indigenous tribes, races, and ethnic groups are represented in the global Baha’i community, and Baha’i writings and other literature have been translated into more than 800 languages, including Te Reo Māori.

History buffs get on the bus Two free bus tours highlighting Waipa’s role in the New Zealand Wars of the 1860s have been booked out, the first within 48-hours. The huge response has prompted Waipa District Council to offer three more tours in early November. The tours will be narrated by council staff to showcase historical events in Waipa. Council’s heritage manager Tony Roxburgh said the district was packed with history, from early human settlement through to the New Zealand Wars.
“Waipa has a very rich heritage and we have important stories to be told. As a council, we have legal obligations to conserve and manage our heritage and offering some oneoff bus tours is one way to do that.” The tour will cover the stories of significant inter-tribal and land wars battles that took place in Waipa district including those at Waiari, Hingakaka, Mātakitaki, Taumatawiwi and Ōrākau. Three additional tours, on Thursday November 2 (at 2pm) and on Friday November 3 (at 10am and

There was a perfectly reasonable explanation for the oddly-dressed staff seen at FreshChoice Leamington last week. The crew celebrated the store’s fifth birthday with a multi-themed nod to one of the most important 5th year milestones in all our lives – starting school. They decided that each of the store’s departments would adopt a popular children’s storybook theme. They also had a giant birthday card signed by their customers, and a special school library spot in the middle of the store. Some of those gathered for a hasty photoshoot last week were, from left: Gurjeet Singh (produce); Sukhvir Singh (chilled foods); Donna Crickett (checkout); Anne Maxwell (deli); Georgina Walker (checkout); Cherie George, Carly McDonald and Jamie Fry (all grocery); Margaret Coyle (deli); and Sharyn Brown (checkout).

Auckland East named 2017 Roller Mills champions

Ten provincial rugby teams played their collective hearts out at last week’s 2017 NRM National Roller Mills rugby tournament, most of it held at St Peter’s School, Cambridge. Finals day on Sunday ended with Auckland East winning their game against Bay of Plenty (2917), going on to take the title of NRM tournament champions for 2017.
Bay of Plenty came in second, with Auckland West placing third. Waikato placed sixth after winning four games and losing two. Their shot at a top placing disappeared after losing the final round robin game on Friday, contesting the semi-final against Counties Manukau. For most of the second half it looked like they would take the win. “It was a good comeback but

just wasn’t enough,” said Te Awamutu player Daniel Tickelpenny. With 10 minutes to go and a draw of 12-all, the sound of mooloo bells was deafening as the home crowd cheered on the intermediate-age players. But as the last few minutes drew near, the victorious cheers soon switched to the Counties side as the red and white players took the win with a penalty kick at the end of the match. Final score 13-12 to Counties. “The second half, we absolutely came back hard but it just wasn’t enough unfortunately, well it was, and then it wasn’t!” said Waikato’s assistant coach Graham Wallace. “That last couple of minutes hurt us, but hey, it was a great game, great pressure, we’re really proud of the boys.” Continued next page

Auckland West, Counties Manukau, Auckland East and Bay of Plenty. A couple of early games were held at other venues before the 230 or so players moved into St Peter’s boarding houses on October 10 for six days of hard-playing rugby. This year was the tournament’s 99th. The first was held in Auckland in 1925 when the Northern Roller Milling Company presented a shield for a competition between school teams from any
rugby unions within the Auckland province. It remains a competition primarily for players aged 12 to 13. Many rugby greats cut their teeth at Roller Mills. They include Colin Meads, Sonny Bill Williams, Keven Mealamu, Michael Jones, Keiran Read and Richard Kahui. Colin Meads’ son Glynn Meads, who is involved in King Country rugby, was at St Peter’s during this year’s tournament.

Archers bring home medal haul Submitted by Lakeview Archers archery club
The first week in October saw Lakeview Archers heading north to Whangarei to compete in the three- day NZ Field Archery Association (NZFAA) national tournament, which was run jointly with the IFAA Pacific Region Field Archery Championships (IPRFAC) this year. The event attracted over 90 archers – including 16 from Australia. Shooting was held over three days, with different targets being
shot each day over a 28 target course. Lakeview Archers had 12 members competing in various divisions – ranging in age from youth to veteran. Between them they managed to win seven gold medals and 1 silver medal. The Mills family had four members competing at the event. Darryl (Dad) shot in the compound bowhunter unlimited division, competing against 18 other archers. With a tie for second place occurring at the end of the tournament, a one
arrow shoot off was held to determine 2nd and 3rd places. Darryl was able to win that event to bring home the silver medal. “It was a bit nerve wracking shooting in front of all of those archers,” said Darryl. Lachlan (son) shot consistently over the weekend, winning each round and coming away with the gold medal in his division – compound junior bowhunter unlimited. Other club members to bring home gold medals were Christine Finnegan (veteran bowhunter recurve),
Dennis Bryce (bowhunter recurve), Gerry Newman (compound veteran bowhunter unlimited), Steve Watkins (compound freestyle unlimited) and Cyrille Leveque (longbow). Gerry and Steve both shot perfect rounds (560 points) on the final day. Only four archers achieved perfect rounds at the event this year. A handful of archers broke IPRFAC records over the event – including
Lakeview archers Gerry (three records), Christine (two records), and Steve (one record). “We are really proud of the results that our archers achieved at this event,” said Christine, the president of Lakeview Archers, “we are not a huge club, but we always have members up on the podium.” Lakeview Archers are based at 265 Horahora Rd, 20 minutes south of Cambridge. Established for five years now, Lakeview
Archers are a field archery club that caters for all ages and abilities, with equipment for hire and coaching available. For further information on the club and membership call Christine on 0274 894 457 or email arrowflinga@gmail.com to arrange a time to come out a visit and give archery a go. It is great exercise walking around the course, there is generally lots of laughter and storytelling too.

Trikers tackle Hamilton Half By Aaron Ure, Wheels In Motion Cambridge. It has been a busy few months at the Avantidrome, with trikers training for the Hamilton Half Marathon and 10k run. The riders took on the 10k ride in the Hamilton Half Marathon last Sunday, October 8. Esther Ure was designated as the backup support rider with Tobias Alexander Ure and Richard Kevin Lowe shadowing our senior rider, Heather Brand. They took up the challenge and blew me away. For one of our senior riders, it was her first ever venture into road racing, here is what she said: “This was my first ever road race.
Having been cycling at the Avantidrome in Cambridge for some time, I initially thought that it would not be too difficult. The training started around the Avantidrome which was easy till we got to the roads outside and around St Peters. The camber on the road was difficult to adjust to so I committed to 4 hours per week training at home on a loaner trike and at the Avantidrome. Some days experiencing sun, cloud, drizzle, wind gusts and hail all in the space of an hour. “Living and cycling with a disability like Parkinson’s Disease makes every day a challenge but I was able to build up my skills and confidence to achieve my goal, which I thought I might never really
achieve. Crossing the finish line was a great feeling.” Wheels In Motion gratefully acknowledge the time and expense that the Avantidrome invest into the local and wider community with our riding program. They keep sessions at a price that is affordable for the community groups that we work with, to give them opportunities for social interaction and growth. We also acknowledge Achilles Waikato and Rotorua, for supporting our riders under their banner and the Flagstaff Police who allowed us parking for day to assist with our vehicles and special requirements.

Cheese please
October is the month we celebrate New Zealand cheese Last year, having — rather reluctantly — shifted from Marlborough gourmet wine and food country to Cambridge, I was in need of some culinary stimulation. I discovered, to my delight, a deli dedicated to showcasing its own locally made cheeses. The Over the Moon Dairy Company is a consistent winner
in our NZ Champions of Cheese Awards and they offer several of my faves including Volcano — a soft buffalo milk fresh unripened cheese prepared with non-animal rennet. It has a crinkly skin reminiscent of a crater and is delicious with soft summer fruits on crostini. Another Waikato winner is Aroha Organic
Goat’s Cheese. Apart from winning local awards, their Aroha Raw Milk Rich Plain received a ninth place at the World Champion Cheese Contest in Wisconsin, USA. Dutch-style cheeses such as gouda always feature strongly in the national awards from both our Waikato’s Mercer and Meyer
cheesemakers. This year the Champion of Champions Cheese Award (Commercial) went to Meyer Gouda Cheese and Meyer Smoked Goat Gouda and the Champion of Champions Artisan award to Mercer’s Fifty Fifty. Check out cheesy activities for this month at https://nzsca.org.nz/cheese-month/
Rocket & Volcano Salad
Walnut & Craisin Camembert Excellent to serve after dinner in place of dessert. New Zealand walnuts are the best – mine were the Uncle Joe’s brand. 4 tablespoons each: firmly packed brown sugar, chopped walnuts 2 tablespoons dried cranberries (craisins) pinch ground cinnamon 2 tablespoons brandy 1 medium, round camembert crackers to serve: eg walnut oat crackers, sliced apple or pear Combine the brown sugar, walnuts, craisins, cinnamon and brandy. Stir well to mix. Stand overnight to allow the juice to develop. Place the cheese on a heatproof plate. Bake for 5 minutes at 500°C, or microwave on high for 1 minute, until soft and gooey inside. Spoon the nut mixture on top and heat through for 2-3 minutes in the oven or 30 seconds in the microwave. Cut into wedges to serve. Serves 4-6.
100g baby rocket 8 semi-sundried tomatoes, drained, patted dry and sliced 8 pitted black Kalamata olives 125g fresh buffalo cheese, sliced shaved parmesan cheese to taste Lemon dressing: 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon rind pinch sugar 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil Place the rocket on four serving plates. Top with the semi-sundried tomatoes, olives, buffalo cheese and parmesan. Whisk the lemon juice, rind and sugar until well combined. Slowly whisk in the olive oil. Just before serving, sprinkle the salad with the dressing. Serves 4 as a starter.
Chargrilled Capsicum & Gouda Toasted Sarnies 1 large red capsicum 8 toast-thick slices white bread 175g gouda, thinly sliced 2 cups baby rocket 50g butter, softened To prepare the capsicum, grill — turning occasionally — until the skin has blackened all over. Place in a plastic bag, until cool. Peel then thinly slice. Top 4 slices of the bread with the cheese, rocket and capsicum. Top with the remaining bread. Butter each sarnie on the outside. Pan-fry until golden on both sides and the cheese has started to melt. Serves 4.

Cambridge Badminton Club turning 50 Submitted by Cambridge Badminton Club On the 28th of October Cambridge Badminton Club will celebrate its 50year jubilee. After playing in various venues around Cambridge, a new stadium was built in 1998. This made Cambridge one of the few country towns to own its own purposebuilt stadium. With current member-
ship at approximately 100 including 31 junior members, the stadium is very well-used with the club running sessions for juniors on Monday night followed by seniors, day badminton is played Tuesday mornings, over 50s play Thursday morning and seniors again Friday night. There are also business house competitions, and a summer league played in the school holi-
days. Some members regularly attend the Atalanta Jamboree which this year is held in Melbourne. There is a team playing in the Presidents grade interclub competition. And day members run tournaments and invite players from Coromandel to Taupo. Another highlight this past year was Cambridge
Badminton receiving an award for sport and leisure in the Trustpower Community Awards for clubs and organisations run by volunteers. There are many other

Trout competition over The Kilwell Lower Waikato river trout contest was again a great family event, this year the 9-day long contest attracted 46 keen experienced anglers from Cambridge to Te Kauwhata, nearly the same as the 2016 numbers. The river was alternating between high and low levels throughout the 8 ½ day contest run from Saturday October 7 to Sunday October 15, with 64 trout caught - 58 browns and 6 rainbow trout. This compares with 114 trout in 2016, 125 caught in 2015, 112 caught in 2013, 97 caught in 2012, and 126 in 2011. This year the high rainfall through winter made tough fishing in Cambridge/Karapiro stretches of the river, with trout condition there largely inferior to last year’s fish as there were few resting areas in the heavier current. This year, most fish were caught in Huntly (15). Cambridge was second on 11, followed by Ngaruawahia (9), Hamilton (7), and Rangiriri (6) areas. Next
were Ohinewai (4), Taupiri (3), Mercer (3), Karapiro(2), Horotiu (2) and Hopuhopu (1).

Telford team wrap up international The local Telford Racing team competing in the Italian National Trophy 1000 Superbike Championship have wrapped up their international campaign with a 16th place finish in the grand finale. It’s been a long road for

sponsorship, and used their thrifty Kiwi ingenuity, coupled with a great support team, to make their mark on the highly competitive international stage. “After a short six months and so many things thrown our way to test us,
we are both sad that the season has come to an end and we can’t wait to bring the team back next year to further our experience and fight more inside the top10 with the front runners,” Dillon said. “As a team we know where we are losing ground and know how we can bridge the gap to these world class pilots.” Having started out near the bottom of the pack, the Telford team slowly picked their way through the ranks over the season. At the previous two rounds, both held at Mugello, they finished in 10th place and even in first place – an amazing feeling for the humble Kiwi team. At the latest and final round, held at Vallelunga on October 8, Telford finished in 16th place in a tightly-contested race. It started out quite strangely; during the qualifying rounds, the team noticed someone had been tampering with the bike’s suspension settings without their knowledge. “We are very particular about checking, rechecking and noting any changes
we make on pit lane or in the paddock,” said Jo, who added that it was the third time they had noticed unusual changes to the bike. “This time it has been big changes of 10 clicks or more and the top nut of the top triple clamp loosened. We have not had any complications with anyone in the paddock, we’re only a small team that keeps

CINEMA
LIDO CINEMA
MovieReview Waru is a remarkable New Zealand film of the highest quality and most-profound impact – and all the more remarkable because there is not just one main reason for this, but three. First off, its troubling narrative revolves around a topic which is raw and devastating, and a scourge on our country's psyche: the death of a child at the hands of his caregiver. Specifically set in the context of the child's tangi, the narrative is woven from eight scenes, each shot as a 10-minute short film with distinct characters, all of whom are in some way affected by the tragedy. Add to this the fact that each sequence consists of one, perfectly-choreographed take, and the viewer is readily immersed in these individual stories of pain. And finally, the most impressive aspect of Waru is that it is a collaboration between eight Māori women directors, who workshopped and wrote the sequence for which they would take control. What emerges is a fluid portrait of a community grappling with the ripples of tragedy. It is impossible not to be moved and impressed by Waru in equal measure. There is much to applaud, but added to the fact that having eight talented women directors in New Zealand feels (unfortunately) like kind of a big deal, it is imperative to acknowledge the importance of tangata whenua in the telling of this story. Not because child abuse is a "Māori problem", but because the nature of whānau (as in "community" rather than our Pākehā definition of "nuclear family") lies at the heart of Waru – and it is our whole community that suffers when one of our children dies. The eight scenes differ greatly in style and tone, but the performances are almost universally stunning – all the more so when you consider the actors don't have the benefit of short takes and edited reaction shots, but are in effect performing a piece of theatre, often with incredibly intricate movement, while conveying an enormous depth of feeling. The camera therefore swoops and surrounds, as the characters carry on so intently and obliviously you feel you're
right there with them. And despite the context, it's not relentlessly grim. There are laughs (albeit more of outrage) as a TV presenter speaks her mind; two plucky sisters decide to take a stand; and the viewer's (and characters') judgements are overturned as well-written scripts demonstrate, time and again, that human nature has both flaws and beauty. Even if some scenes resonate less than others, the overall impact of Waru is stunning and it is impossible not to be moved and impressed in equal measure. A reviewer's work is such we seldom get the luxury of time to watch a film more than once, but Waru is one I'll be revisiting as soon as I can.
