It’s been all go in the newsroom this week, with plenty of news flooding in through the door. We had one attempted arson, but thankfully no ram-raiding or window-smashing in the main street this week. Let’s hope that continues (not the arson, the lack of ram-raiding). Despite what felt like living in a war zone, with fireworks going off all over the show, it seems that we have escaped any fires caused by Guy Fawkes celebrations and things have settled down a bit. I was particularly grateful for this because over the week of Guy Fawkes I was on call with the Cambridge fire brigade, which is staffed entirely by volunteers. Why I chose a whole week I will never know, but it’s given me a renewed respect for the job they do. Living quite far from the station I resorted to sleeping in my clothes, so I could rush out the door as soon if the pager went off in the middle of the night (which it did). I have to tell you it was tremendously stressful, as the first truck is out the door within three minutes of the siren sounding. Some of the guys have even shifted house so they can be closer to the station. They are a dedicated bunch of locals who are looking out for all of us, and I really appreciated them having me tagging along. Plus, I got to ride in the fire truck, which was cool. You can read all about that next week, and remember to support the brigade’s annual Christmas raffle. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this week’s paper, we’ve had a lot of fun bringing it to you. Have a great week, everyone. Claire Castle, Editor

Poolwatch over
An opening date is finally in sight for the Cambridge Pool. Residents have been waiting during recent weeks for the local pool to open to the public, having originally been scheduled to open on October 21. But the weather had different ideas. The team at Go Waipa had been waiting on water levels in the surrounding ground to subside before they could safely empty the pool without the risk of pressure damage or collapse of the pool walls. Test samples had indicated a high level of water in the ground, but a new bore hole taken early last week found that surface clay could have been directing water to a certain area, changing the reading. It was either that, or the water had simply subsided to a safer level, and the pool was ready to be drained, cleaned and refilled. By Thursday afternoon last week, the pool was refilled and ready for testing. Having been sitting still throughout the winter season, Go Waipa staff ran the pump a few times to
clear it of the old stagnant water and get it running with fresh water. Once they had the pump and filter flowing smoothly, electrical tests were carried out on the heating system. Unfortunately, the heating failed, and a pipe subsequently burst, but GoWaipa chief executive Matt Horne said they were still hopeful the pool will be open soon. Everything going to plan, he said the pool might be open for swimmers on Saturday
November 25, despite the fact that parts for the heating system would have to be custom-made. Matt said the burst pipe was a minor issue. Chlorine has been added to achieve the right chemical balance for swimming, and one of the two water samples sent away on Monday has come back clear with the second one expected to have the same result. For up to date information visit www.gowaipa.com.
Jay Shelgren, team leader for Go Waipa Cambridge, was on site to fill and test the pool last week.
It’s that time of year – when the Christmas early-bloomers start getting into the festive spirit. We hit the street this week to ask people about their Christmas trees, and when it’s too early to put them up.

Nikku Singh I’d put the tree up about a week before Christmas, the fake trees are much easier to use. And then take it down around midJanuary.

Bupa St Kilda fined $10,000 By Claire Castle Cambridge’s Bupa St Kilda Care Home has been ordered to pay $10,000 after failing to adequately care for a 92-year old resident. Tauranga resident Robert Love, who brought the action against Bupa St Kilda through the Disputes Tribunal, was awarded compensation for breaches under the Consumer Guarantees Act and the Fair Trading Act. Mr Love’s mother, Freda Love, was a resident in the St Kilda Care Home for 156 days last year, and died in hospital in February. Mr Love paid an extra $52 per night for a ‘premium room’, however the tribunal found that Bupa fell short of the expected standard of care and ordered them to refund the $8,112 in premium fees, and $850 as part cost for a fan, dehumidifier and air conditioning unit Mr Love had installed in the room. He also received just over $1000 for the cost of travel incurred as he needed to take a “more active” role in his mother’s day-to-day care due to issues with the home, bringing the total to $10,000. A spokesperson for Bupa said that they regret the distress the resident endured and apologises to the family. “The care of our residents is our highest priority,” the unnamed spokesperson said, “and we treat these matters very seriously”. Mr Love said his mother’s room consistently
exceeded 30 degrees during the middle part of the day in warmer months, leading to her experiencing respiratory difficulties, dehydration and fungal infections. The Bupa spokesperson said that they have installed shading to skylights to minimise the heat from the sun, and the tribunal noted that a solar ‘film’ had been installed to reduce the heat. The tribunal found that in addition Bupa failed to provide services to Mrs Love in a ‘competent manner and with a reasonable level of care and skill’. On one occasion Mr Love turned up to find his mother lying on a urinesoaked bed, shivering under a thin blanket with the window open and the call bell out of her reach. Mr Love pointed to 14 documented instances where there were “serious failures” in the provision of his mother’s care, with issues around incontinence management, medication errors and wound care procedures, however the Bupa spokesperson declined to confirm this number. “We have worked to put better practices and policies in place for our residents, including improved management of continence care. “We realise that these improvements to practice in no way make up for the standard of care delivered in this instance, but we are taking all possible steps to demonstrate learnings
from the incident,” the spokesperson said. Bupa declined to comment further on the nature of the improvements in the management of continence care, referring back to their initial statement. In the tribunal ruling, Bupa said that high staff turnover at the time was most likely a contributing factor in the shortcomings in Mrs Love’s care, however they declined to answer further questions
on whether or not this is still the case. Mr Love said he has yet to receive a formal apology from Bupa for what he has described as a “devastating” experience. He received four letters in response to his concerns last year, none of which could be considered as an apology, he said. A letter from Bupa, dated April 21, promised the results of an investigation by May 30, six months after the events. He is still

News Briefs Winery Tour cancelled
The 2018 Winery Tour has been cancelled, due to ‘unforeseen circumstances’. Into its 11th year, the 10-concert tour was to feature New Zealand artists such as Jason Kerrison, Annie Crummer, Che Fu and Hollie Smith. Due to begin in Moutere, near Motueka, in January, the tour’s second-to-last stop was due to be Vilagrad Winery on February before finishing up in Tauranga. Organisers have said that it is not possible to reschedule the tour and that ticket holders can receive a full refund at the place they have purchased their tickets. Fans have taken to social media to express their disappointment, with many expressing shock that the well-established summer concert series was so abruptly cancelled. * * * *

Streamlined Christmas giving
By Viv Posselt
Families receiving Christmas donations through the generosity of others will do so this year using a more streamlined system. The Cambridge Committee of Social Services (CCOSS) is working on a new template that will see
donations come in slightly earlier than in previous years, so they can be distributed to those in need in time for Christmas. Karen Baker of the Salvation Army’s Cambridge Corps, said the changes were being put into place to avoid donations coming in too late to be handed
out to families in time for Christmas Day. The adjustments relate to both the timings around donations, and the location where they can be left. “We are sincerely grateful to those who generously gift items for others in need, but we need to adjust the timeframe so that families
in need get the items in time for Christmas. This year, on behalf of CCOSS, The Salvation Army in Williamson St will be the collecting station for all social services represented on the committee, and in order to give us time to sort, arrange and meet with families in need, we are hoping the donations could be in by Monday, December 18.” Another change is the call for those donating Christmas gifts to bring them in unwrapped, perhaps leaving a roll of wrapping paper with the gift instead. “As our families come and choose presents for
their children, it would be better if presents could be donated unwrapped.” Karen said the annual Christmas initiative was supported financially by local Lions and Rotary groups, and the Salvation Army. “The need to provide this kind of support is increasing all the time,” she said. “Last year, there were about 50 to 55 families we were dealing with. This year, we expect the number to be closer to 70. By applying an inter-agency approach, we can hopefully avoid the bottlenecks we have been seeing in recent years, and make it easier for people
to know where to drop off their donations. “While we at The Salvation Army will be the collection station for the donations, people can make it known to us which agency they would like it to go to - either CCOSS or The Salvation Army directly.” Donations coming in to all social services can be left at the Salvation Army’s Williamson St premises from December 1 to 18, either between 10am and 2pm Monday to Thursday, or by arrangement with the church office (07-827 4723).
Orange flexi-posts gone
Most of the Cambridge Committee of Social Services assembled for a meeting last week. They are (back, from left) Harold Thomas (Lions); Richard Berghan (Bridges Church); Brent Nielsen (Age Concern); Julie McKenzie (Raleigh St Christian Centre); Juliet Drage (St Andrew’s Church); and Kiri Gray (Cambridge Marae). In the centre, from left, are Marie Payne (Citizen’s Advice Bureau), and Karen Baker (Salvation Army); and at front, from left, are Joanne MacLennan (Cambridge Community House); new committee chair Julie Epps; and Pixie du Plessis (Union Parish Church).
The orange flexi-posts that separated traffic on the Victoria Bridge were replaced by catseyes two weeks ago, in an attempt to reduce damage to cars and cut down the cost of maintenance, Council said. “The flexi hit posts on Victoria Bridge had badly deteriorated as they were hit often. Previously we have replaced the posts when required but this time the bases were also damaged, and the posts would not stay vertical. This was
causing issues as posts had potential to scrape along the side of cars.” Bryan Hudson, road corridor manager, said. Since the bridge was repaired and the footpath widened in 2014, 200 of the posts have been replaced at a cost of $35 each, a total repair bill for ratepayers of $7000. The cost of installation was estimated to be $150 per post. Bryan said the catseye markers should require less maintenance.

Students inspired by Zuru competition their idea to the Zuru headquarters in China, Skyping with ex St Peter’s student Anna Mowbray, who founded the company along with her brothers Nick and Mat. They said they were very impressed with the girls’ approach. Year 10 students Ashleigh Stuart, Bella Illston and Sophie Waddell were named second in the Zuru competition, sharing between them a prize pack and $300 cash. “The whole thing was a really great experience.

they gave us a lot of feedback,” said Sophie Waddell. The girls created fidget toys named Beeboes – collectable character balls that seamlessly move about on their own, using a magnet on the underside of a surface to move a toy on top. “When I was younger we always had magnets around our house and I noticed when I would play with them that you could use the magnets through your hand,” explained Ashleigh. “So we developed this idea together with a trial and error of ideas.” “It was a great learning experience,” said Sophie.
Months of work on a school project creating a children’s toy has paid off for two Year 9 students at St Peter’s School, who were awarded first place, along with a $500 and a prize pack to share, in the Zuru Toy Development competition. “We were just happy to get short listed, we didn’t think we would win,” said Ella Taylor, who along with her friend Leith Anderson created an interactive collector’s board game dubbed Escape from Planet Mars. “It’s just a really great experience and gives you an insight into business and the toy industry,” said Leith. “We enjoyed making it, we faced a lot of challenges, staying up late…” The two girls are boarding students together, and it was Ella that first conceived the board game idea in the middle of the night. “I was just lying there and came up with it, and then I woke Leith up and then we started making it,” said Ella. “She still wakes me up at night with new business ideas,” Leith laughed. The girls put the board together using second hand items, including a spring from their original idea for trampoline shoes, which didn’t quite work out. “It’s like a strategy game Ella Taylor (front) with the winning Zuru entry, and (back) secondthat has collectables,” Ella explained. placed Beeboe creators Bella Illston, Sophie Waddell and Ashleigh The girls were selected to present Stuart.

Arson thwarted in town
By Claire Castle
A quick-thinking Cambridge News delivery person thwarted an arson attempt outside Compuhub last Thursday. CCTV footage shows what appears to be two teenaged girls attempting to light a fire at the front of the store, in broad daylight, at 7.10pm. Using newspapers from a nearby real estate agent, the girls made numerous attempts to start a blaze, running off when the paper eventually caught fire. Seconds later, someone delivering
copies of Cambridge News to the store noticed the burning paper against the side of the building and enlisted the help of a passing motorist to extinguish the fire. Compuhub co-owner, Thinus du Preez, said he would like to thank the good Samaritan and the delivery woman, saying that without their quick thinking the situation could have been more serious. Police said their enquiries are ongoing, and anyone with information should contact the Cambridge station or phone Crimestoppers on 0508 555 111 to CCTV footage showing the teenagers make an anonymous report. trying to start the fire

Refinancing Your Mortgage By Gavin Lynch – Yes Mortgages Refinancing your mortgage is the process of changing your mortgage lending from your existing lender to a new lender. Refinancing is a common practice for any of these reasons: • You don’t like the lender you are with. You’ve experienced poor service, problems with staff, or high account fees. • You want to borrow more money but the lender won’t allow it. Perhaps you want to consolidate debt, borrow to purchase a rental property or a vehicle, or put working capital into a business. • You have ‘outgrown’ your existing lender and want to move forward. This is common for self-employed people with a growing business, or for investors with an increasing portfolio. • Your lender has asked you to refinance. You may be in arrears with mortgage repayments or you need to restructure your mortgage. Refinancing can involve costs such as break fees from the existing lender, solicitors’ fees, valuation charges etc, but we can help get cash contributions from your new lender to help offset these costs. At Yes Mortgages, we can outline the costs involved and find the best new lender to fit your current situation from the 25 or so different lenders available. In most instances, our service is FREE to you. Generally the benefits of refinancing outweigh the costs involved but bear in mind: Refinancing your mortgage must benefit and add value to YOU. Let us do the work to find you the best lender for your situation.

Street names tend to be pretty self-explanatory, but not so for Matos Segedin Drive in Leamington. Standing out among the literary-themed streets in the area, Matos Segedin has always been a curious exception to the standard naming trends in Cambridge. After some investigation it turns out that Matos Segedin Drive, an industrial area that includes the Cambridge landfill, was named after the two original owners of the freezing works that once operated there. According to Council, the name was adopted at a Community Board meeting in 1996. Just in case you were wondering what that was all about.

Oakdale thanks community By Sophie Iremonger
Ultimate Care Cambridge Oakdale’s newly renovated dementia unit opened its doors to the public on Tuesday to showcase the new wares as well as thank the community for their contributions toward the project. Activities coordinator Toni Usmar kicked off the project almost two months ago in an endeavour to brighten up the dementia unit and rest home. “I felt that it was a bit drab, it wasn’t stimulating enough for their needs, and then I also just wanted to take it back, so that there’s things throughout the facility to talk about, it encourages conversation
reminiscence, taking them back to special times that they had,” Toni said. New vibrant colours on the walls and doors not only brighten the place but also help residents find their way around, and framed photos from their generation’s younger years bring back fond memories. A post on the Cambridge Grapevine Facebook page sparked a flood of donations from the community towards the project, from teapots, china cups, plates and picture frames to don the interior, through to bikes, drums and tyres for outside – painted bright colours and planted with beautiful flowers to transform the
grassy area. Beautifully decorated orange walls bring a therapeutic sense of calm and cheerfulness in the dining area, and a black board wall enables residents and staff to leave quotes, pictures and even play noughts and crosses. “We gone a bit novel with bits and pieces, which was great, because the reaction from the residents was awesome, there was a lot of laughter, they were really taken back with it all,” said Toni. “We’ve done a whole lot, it’s been a very busy time.” There are also now various themed areas to stimulate residents; an old-school teaching area, telephones from yesteryear, a barnyard
scene and even a London train station segment. Facility Manager Soraya Martin said the open day was all about saying
‘thank you’ to locals who contributed towards the project. “We were really fortunate that a lot of the community gave to us, so
really the ‘open home’ is a thank you to them, so they can actually see where their bits and pieces have been utilised.”
Lake tracks on the mend By Sophie Iremonger Some of the walking tracks running up and down the banks of Lake Te Ko Utu have recently been upgraded in time for summer. Near record rain downpours in the area had softened the ground and damaged some of the tracks to the point of closure – in some cases for several months. Locals had expressed concerns as to whether there would be an opening date in sight. “The wet winter has caused the damage and we understand trying to fix the issue within an unusually wet winter wasn’t wise or cost effective, but we would expect Council to have these in a safe sate of repair over the coming weeks as families will increasingly be using them,” said Cambridge Community Board Chairman Mike Pettit. Waipa District Council this week confirmed that some of the tracks had since been repaired and more works were on the way. “The Camellia track near the carpark was repaired last week,” confirmed Bruce Airey, Manager Community Facilities. “There is still some minor work to be done but it is now open to the public.” The track was closed for three months
due to scouring, following a heavy rain event, and needed to dry out before works could start. “It required significant repairs by specialist contractors, which contributed to delays in reopening the track,” said Airey. “The George Clarke track suffered damage more recently but is still open. This track also requires repairs including machine work which will be undertaken in the next couple of weeks. “We intend to have both of these tracks in good working order as soon as possible so the community can enjoy the lake during the summer.”

Armistice in Cambridge

Almost four thousand people turned out to the Armistice in Cambridge event over the weekend, the largest commemorative event in New Zealand, marking the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice to end the First World War in 1918. The history and pageantry of New Zealand’s military past was recognised and celebrated with the displaying of militaria both old and new – from tanks, trucks, weapons and uniforms, through to aircraft, helicopters, boats, models and more. A popular feature for most was the battle re-enactments, depicting many of the wars New Zealand has been involved in from the 1800s land wars through to the Vietnam War – but organisers weren’t quite expecting to see someone come forward who had been present at such an event. Operation ‘Market Garden’, the ambitious large-scale operation launched by the Western Allies into German-occupied Holland in 1944, was re-enacted on Saturday with eight-yearold Avan Thomas playing the part of a young boy being stopped by Germans to have his papers checked. Shortly after the show, Dutch-born 80-year-old Jack Spanbroek was found to be at the event. As it turned out, he had in fact been there in German-occupied Holland as a seven-year-old boy, and was even chased by the Germans himself. “Jack’s presence at the event was not known until after the re-enactment, so
this was a pleasant surprise to organisers when he came to the info desk to ask directions,” said one of the event organisers, Paul Watkins. As well as all the action happening out at the lake, the official memorial ceremony took place at the Cambridge Cenotaph on Remembrance Sunday – the closest Sunday to the 11th of November.

Rotary needs your (good) old books Supplied by Jan Bilton on behalf of Rotary Cambridge. Rotary Cambridge is once again hosting Bookarama. This event raises money for distribution to local charitable organisations and will be held from the 16th to the 20th of May next year. Rotary is now collecting books in readiness for the 2018 fundraiser. Books and magazines in good condition can be delivered to Achievement House, 13 Wilson Street or collection can be arranged by phoning Ray Milner on 07 827-3137. “We prefer good quality hardback or paperback books both fiction and nonfiction, glossy magazines less than twoyears-old and in good condition, vintage
Up to
comics, CDs, DVDs and vinyl records (not scratched) and complete jigsaws and board games,” says Ray. “Old library books, abridged books, free magazines such as those from airlines and the Automobile Association, old gardening books, video and music tapes are not what we want, or —as we have found — nobody else wants. These are best put out with your weekly recycling, thank you.” This year’s Bookarama was a great success raising over $14,000. Funds were distributed to the Cambridge Tree Trust, Cambridge Life Skills, the Community Marae and Achievement House. “Many thanks to all who contributed to the success of 2017.”

The 111 Report POLICE
Friday November 10 Police were called about people asking shoppers for money outside Countdown in Cambridge. Police attended and discovered their vehicle registration matched an earlier shoplifting incident at Countdown in Te Awamutu. A search of the vehicle found over $300 worth of meat which was later returned to Te Awamutu. A burglary has occurred overnight at the construction site for the new Retirement Village on Goldsmith Street. Offenders have stolen several brand-new appliances and a trailer. The Cambridge Fitness Centre and Fresh Choice Supermarket were graffitied using a black marker. Saturday November 11 A house was egged on Milton Street. There have been several reports recently of property being egged. Please report any similar incidents to police. The Leamington Bakery was graffitied using yellow spray paint. Two young boys were playing around climbing along under the high-level bridge. Police attended and safely uplifted the boys and took them home. Sunday November 12 Two vehicles were broken into overnight on Alpha Street and Bryce Street. Both vehicles were parked on the road. A vehicle was stolen from Burns Street and later recovered on Wordsworth Street the following day with two juveniles inside. Monday November 13 In the early hours of the morning offenders have attempted to steal a trailer and a quad bike from an address on Alpers Ridge. Luckily the owner disturbed the offenders and they have taken off in an older white double-cab ute. If you have any information about any of these crimes, please contact the Cambridge Police or report it anonymously via Crime Stoppers 0800 555 111.

Coffee with a Cop By Sophie Iremonger
The new Western Waikato area commander for the Police, Inspector Andrew Mortimore, was on hand along with other Waikato Police staff at the Coffee with a Cop event in Cambridge last week, held at the Lilly Pad café. It was the first time the six-weekly regional event came to Cambridge, and a chance for locals to chat with Police about whatever was on their minds. “It’s an informal opportunity for the community to have a chat with cops over coffee, no ulterior motive, just come and have a chat,” said constable Jack Driver, manager of the Waikato Police Facebook page. “There’s definitely some really positive stuff going on in the community at the moment,” Inspector Mortimore said, after confirming that Police had apprehended the recent Stirling Sports burglar the night before, using forensic evidence to secure a home arrest warrant at the out-oftowner’s address. “Staff are working really hard to follow up lines of enquiry and follow up these offenses. “We’re very focused on the community in terms of what’s going on, obviously we’re preparing ourselves for

The next Coffee with a Cop event will take place in early January.

Cambridge sportspeople recognised at awards Cambridge cyclist Sam Gaze was named as the Waipa’s 2017 Sportsman of the Year at the annual District Sports Awards held this week at the Te Awamutu Event Centre. The 21-year-old was recognized for his raft of successes this year, namely his impressive first place finish in the Under 23 UCI World Mountain Biking Championships, as well as two first-place finishes at the Prescott Arizona Criterium, and first in Stage 1 and 2 of the Wines 2 Whales Mountain Bike Stage Race.
Sam Gaze was named Sportsman of the Year.
“These are outstanding world stage achievements to date and whenever he is in New Zealand he is a regular competitor at club road and track events,” said Sport Waikato Waipa District Coordinator Rebecca Foy. “We have had an amazing spread of talent across all categories this year,” said Foy. Several Cambridge locals took out titles at the Waipa Sports Awards on Monday night. The Cambridge Football Club’s Senior Men’s 1st team won Team of the Year after winning this year’s WaiBOP Premiership league for the second time in three seasons. Junior Sportswoman of the Year went to St Peter’s
school student Ellesse Andrews, who won gold and broke the record in the individual pursuit at the 2017 Junior World Champs in Italy. Cambridge High School graduate Luke Jacobson took out Junior Sportsman of the Year having led the NZ team as captain at the U20 World Championships to a win in the final against England. He was also a member of the winning Chiefs side at the 2017 Brisbane Global Rugby Tens and has more recently signed a two year contract with Chiefs Rugby Club. Te Kauwhata’s Brooke Donoghue took out Sportswoman of the
Year. Cambridge Primary School’s Marie Dale was awarded Service to Sport, and Administrator of the Year went to Cath Cheatley. Four more Cambridge locals, Richard Glover, Phil Herewini, Marie Dale and Pearl Martin, were also recognized for their outstanding Service to Sport. Richard Glover has been instrumental in moving sport forward locally and in the Waikato region, setting up the Waikato Intermediate Swimming Champs and women’s football at the local club and Waikato Rep grades, U13 and U16. He retired this year after over 40 years at Cambridge Middle School.

Another medal for Vicki Todd By Sophie Iremonger Cambridge’s Vicki Todd (pictured left) has returned to town with a gold medal from the recent Australian Masters Games held in Tasmania. Playing with a Kiwi-Aussie team known as the Koaki Rangers, they made their through five games during the tournament in late October, winning all but one, only to face the one team they’d lost against in the final. “We were so tired by that point,” said Vicki, who had played two games each day over the three-day competition. “We were expecting silver, because they’d beaten us, so to get gold was a really nice surprise, well above our expectations.” The gold medal won in the 55+ netball division adds to Vicki’s Masters Games tally having won silver with the same netball team at the World Masters Games in Cambridge earlier this year. Going up against the Gold Coast Masters team in the final was no easy feat, their Goal Shoot stood at six and a half feet tall, and with Vicki playing Goal Defence she faced quite the challenge waiting for her in the goal circle. “We were bouncing off her,” Vicki laughed. “We tried to stop the ball with midcourt intercepts off the centre pass, before it got to her, because she would just shoot it in quite easily.” The team were down by three goals during the first half but had managed to climb to one point ahead by half time. The second half was a tight tussle for the win, with the Koaki Rangers getting ahead by five points before winning with a lead of three goals. “It was hard work, but it was fun,” said Vicki. Also playing on the team alongside Vicki was
a Tamahere resident, Jacqui Peach. The two play weekly netball in the Morrinsville league, where the Koaki Rangers was originally formed. Though all the team members keep active with netball, they only get together to practice a couple of times before competing in the Masters Games and the Pan Pacific Games. “It’s a really cool connection,” Vicki said of the team. Next up the Koaki Rangers will be competing in the New Zealand Masters Games in Dunedin in February, followed by the Pan Pacific Masters Games on the Gold Coast in November 2018.

Northern red oak (Quercus rubra) Not to be confused with Q. robur, the common English oak, this handsome, stately tree is a native of eastern and central North America and can be found from Nova Scotia to Louisiana and as far west as Oklahoma. It is widely considered a national treasure in the USA and is the State tree of New Jersey. Growing in the forests of North America it can reach a height of more than 40 metres and may live 500 years. It is tolerant of salt and air pollution and relatively tolerant of soil compaction which makes it suitable for street and park planting, although in this situation it seldom grows as high but is valued for its rich autumn colour.
silver-grey and smooth, but when mature red oak can be distinguished from other oaks by the shiny stripe down the centre of its bark ridges. Q. rubra is one of the most important oaks in the USA for timber production, its reddish-brown wood valued for flooring, veneer, interior trim and furniture. The wood has a tendency to absorb moisture making it unsuitable for boatbuilding and exterior trim, but it is nevertheless sometimes used for fence posts and railroad ties.

Cheerleading dedication pays off St Peter’s School’s senior and prep cheerleading squads came away from the national Cheer ‘N’ Dance Rave competition with spectacular results, with the senior team winning their division and the prep team placed second in theirs. Held in Auckland on Sunday, the event had more than 200 teams from New Zealand and Australia competing. It was a well-deserved win as some of the girls had been training four hours a week, twice a week, since February and were 100 per cent dedicated to winning the competition. Well done! Pictured right: The St Peter’s senior cheerleading team won its division
Also since the 19th century Q. rubra has been used in forest plantings in Europe, where it may take 20 years to produce flowers and another 20 before it produces a good crop of acorns. It has large leaves whose lobes terminate with bristlepointed teeth, and on young trees the bark is

Thumbs Up Thumbs Down
Students and flatting
Thumbs Up Cambridge Grains would like to acknowledge the Waikato Police for a job well done, they have caught the person who burgled our store in August. We know our Police have a lot on their workload these days, so thank you for a great result
When flatting, it pays to be aware of the pitfalls as well as the benefits of being independent. You can make some amazing friends if you are flatting with others, but it can also go badly wrong if you don’t know the basics of renting. Once you have found a flat you will need to pay the bond which can be up to 4 weeks rent. The landlord must give you a receipt for the bond, which he is legally required to lodge with the Tenancy Tribunal. You will need to take out insurance to cover your household contents, damage to the rental property and public liability insurance. Insurance is very important as damage to the rental property could run into thousands if you have a major disaster. Check your lease agreement carefully, and query anything you are not sure about. Your lease may be a fixed term lease, which is just for a set period or a periodic lease which can be terminated by either party giving the requisite notice of termination in writing. This is 21 days’ notice by the tenant and 90 days by the landlord. If you are flatting on your own, you will have a lease with the landlord. If you are flatting with flatmates you will either each need to have a separate lease with the landlord (an individual lease), or one lease with everyone’s name on it (a joint lease). If you have a joint lease, then the law will treat you all as just one tenant and you will all be jointly liable for any damage or rent arrears even if one of the flatmates can’t or won’t pay their share. If you have an individual lease and you allow people to live with you as flatmates who are not named on the lease, then damage caused by the flatmates or rent not paid by the flatmates will be your personal liability. It pays to have individual leases and is worth asking your landlord for this. Once you have signed the rental agreement you will be liable for any damage caused to the property by guests, this includes friends, family, party guests (or those of any flatmates) and anyone who is legally allowed on the property, even builders and door-todoor salesmen. At the end of your tenancy, the bond will be paid back to you if there is no damage to the property, no rent is owing and if you have left it in a good condition. For information or advice phone CAB on 07 8274855, or drop in to 62 Alpha Street (open 9.00am until 4.30pm Mon-Fri). Drop in JP Clinics are held at the CAB on Mondays from 9.00am to 11.00am and Fridays from 12.00pm to 2.00pm.
Thumbs up to people out exercising now the weather is getting better Thumbs down to people with no obvious physical impediment who saunter across pedestrian crossings like they are on holiday in the South of France. Great that you don’t have to be anywhere, however some of us do. Thumbs down to the person or people who pick up their dog poo in a plastic bag, tie it and leave it on the ground, in the Cowley Drive / Lamb Street area. It’s lazy and a health hazard, it would be better to not bag it if you’re leaving it! Thumbs down to the graffiti in Leamington, yellow paint in the area of the green café on the corner. Thumbs up to the Cambridge community for getting behind a wonderful Armistice event at Karapiro.

The time has come to make festive sweet treats and store them to mellow. The earlier your Christmas cake is baked the tastier and easier to cut it will be. This year I’ve made a couple of untraditional cakes. They’re a breeze to bake as the fruit, butter and sugar are initially simmered over low heat — none of

that hard work of creaming the butter and sugar is required. These cakes will keep for up to six months. Or you could freeze them for up to a year. Tips for baking a successful festive cake: • If the cake pan is thin, wrap a double layer of newspaper around the outside and tie with
string. This prevents the fruit from burning. • I like to lightly oil or grease my cake pans before lining them with baking paper. The paper sticks to the pan and doesn’t slip as they are filled. • Use level metric measurements. • Spoon the cake mixture into the prepared pan
and smooth the top with a wet hand. • Always cook fruit cakes in the middle of the oven at a low temperature otherwise the sugary fruits tend to burn. If the top starts to brown too much, place a sheet of foil lightly over the cake resting it on the paper that lines the pan.
Mini Mincemeat Scrolls Nifty nibbles to serve with coffee. 1 cup prepared fruit mincemeat 2 (26cm x 26cm) sheets ready-rolled flaky puff pastry 1/4 cup sugar Place the mincemeat in a blender and pulse until almost smooth. While the pastry is still frozen spread it evenly with the mincemeat paste right to the edges. Tightly roll
Easy Christmas Cake Choose a large saucepan to heat the butter/fruit mixture so you can use it as a bowl when adding the flour. 175g butter, chopped 200g dark muscovado sugar 750g good quality mixed dried fruits finely grated rind: 1 orange, 1 lemon 1/3 cup each: orange juice, kirsch or other liqueur 3 large eggs, lightly beaten 200g high-grade flour 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon each: ground cinnamon, mixed spice 1/2 teaspoon allspice 70g ground almonds 1/4 cup kirsch or other liqueur, extra
the opposite sides of each sheet until they meet in the middle. Freeze for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 200°C. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper. Place the sugar on a plate. Cut each scroll into 1.5cm slices. Dip a cut side into the sugar. Place — sugar sides up — on the trays. Bake for about 18 minutes, until golden. Cool on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container in a cool place or the freezer. Makes about 32. Place the first 7 ingredients a large heavy saucepan and slowly bring to the boil, stirring until the butter is melted. Poach for 10 minutes. Cool. This can be prepared a day ahead. Preheat the oven to 150°C. Lightly grease and line a heavy 20cm round cake pan with baking paper. Stir the eggs into the cold fruit mixture. Sift in the flour, baking powder and spices together. Stir in the ground almonds. Pour into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a wet hand. Bake for 1 3/4 hours or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Using a fine skewer, make holes over the warm cake. Drizzle with the extra liqueur. Cool in the pan. Wrap in foil and store in a cool place.

Wacky Karapiro supports Lifeskills Submitted by Karapiro School Karapiro School staff and students were proud to organise their 2017 annual fundraiser to support Cambridge Lifeskills on Tuesday last week. Staff and students dressed up and wore wacky hair and went on a school parade to celebrate the work Cambridge
Lifeskills does at Karapiro School and in schools across our community. The school raised approximately $120.00 on the day and which included a donation from the school to support the counselling work that has supported a number of Karapiro School students throughout the 2017 school year. The Karapiro School
PTA has also planned to donate the proceeds of Friday’s school lunches to Cambridge Lifeskills. Principal Tina-Maree Thatcher passionately believes in the work of Cambridge Lifeskills and also sits on the Cambridge Lifeskills Board. “It is a privilege to work alongside Sandy and the dedicated team
at Cambridge Lifeskills,” she said. “Our counsellors support our students to meet their needs – whatever they are, in a friendly and confidential way, working alongside families and schools.”
Tina-Maree recounted the comments of a student who she said summed up how students feel about Lifeskills, “She (Lifeskills counsellor) comes to school, just for me”. Tina-Maree explained
that families can also refer to Cambridge Lifeskills themselves by going to the website, cambridgelifeskills.co.nz or they can check with their local school for more information.

Kaha Recovery kits earn award By Sophie Iremonger
A group of St Peter’s students came away from the Young Enterprise Scheme (YES) Regional Awards on October 26 with the prestigious Innovation Award, recognising their creative expertise in making their sports product known as
Kaha Recovery kits. The kits were conceived by team members Fergus Griffin and Ben Johnson at their 1st XV rugby final last year, and developed this year along with the rest of their team – Mark Hazelton, Ricky Yeung, Matt Austin, Hamish Flett and Sam Littlejohn. Littlejohn, the team’s
marketing director, said it had been a year of learning and growth developing the product for the Young Enterprise Scheme. “You learn so much more actually doing it than if you were just doing internal (assessments) and writing about it, when you actually put it in to practice you remember it more and
realise the practicalities behind everything,” Littlejohn said. “And that’s something you would take with you more so than if you were just studying it for an exam.” After developing their product – which includes a foam roll for sore legs and muscles, a massage ball for more specific aches and pains, stretch bands for both warming down and exercise, a protein shaker and drink bottle –
the team quickly learned the importance of sales. “We definitely learnt straight away that you can’t just let people come to you, you’ve got to get out there and tell everyone,” said Littlejohn. The students received nearly 100 percent top marks in their judging assessment, only losing a few points for not having the “YES” logo on their product. “They completed all
elements of it, including the YES exam, Dragons Den events, the NCEA side of it…every single bit was completed, and to good standard throughout,” said the students’ business studies teacher, Chris Macleod. Although the Year 13 students have now broken up for the year, each student still has a few Kaha Recovery kits available for purchase.
Death and Taxe$ at Gaslight
With most of the team away on exam leave, boarding student Sam Littlejohn was on hand to showcase the Kaha Recovery kit.
The Cambridge Repertory Society’s next round of entertainment kicks off this Saturday with the opening show of Death & Taxe$ – a madcap farce set in the very topical world of insurance, investments and KiwiSaver, both a crime story and a ghost story with hilarity included. The comedy features a great cast of Waikato actors, including Cambridge’s Steve McMurray as Gareth, Laura Hill as Lucille, Kim Burn as Mrs B and Kathleen Christian as Enid. First-time director Amanda McCloughen said directing Death & Taxe$ has been one heck of a roller coaster ride, proving that the only certainty in life certainly is death and taxes. But the actors, once they stepped into their costumes, really brought the characters
to life and Amanda said she couldn’t be prouder. The story follows Gareth Burke, Destiny Life’s top agent for 3 years in a row, who wants to win the trip to Hawaii and take gorgeous receptionist Tiffany with him. But Lucille Potts, is determined to win and has a supernatural plan to ensure victory. Before he can take the prize, Gareth must overcome the obstacles in his path - an over-bearing wife, a manicdepressive corporate motivator, the police, the Inland Revenue, and even his own untimely death. Tickets to the show, which runs until December 2, are available from eventfinda.co.nz or from Cambridge Paper Plus.

Lucky escape
A motorist had a lucky escape on Thursday morning, falling asleep at the wheel of his car just after 6am near Karapiro. The man, who has been a truck driver for 33 years, was driving home to Tirau when he dozed off – waking as his car left the road. Fortunately, his car was drifting towards the ditch instead of oncoming traffic. Sun strike meant the driver was unable to see if the road was clear, so he let it continue into the ditch, rather than pull the wheel and risk overcorrecting into the northbound lane. His car came to rest on its side in the ditch, but the driver was uninjured. He was exhausted, he said, having driven to Auckland where he collected a truck, drove it to Taupo and then back to Auckland. Returning home, his massive shift got the better of him and he fell asleep. He was unsure if his “$500 Trade Me baby” was a write off, and was thankful he had been wearing a seatbelt.

Trampers visit Summerhill Farm Submitted by the Cambridge Tramping Club Our planned location, Ngamuwahine in the Kaimais had to be put back on the programme for another day after the large amount of rain on Saturday. A river crossing at the start of the track is best done after fine weather. Instead we chose Summerhill Farm, on Reid Road off Welcome Bay Road. It is a working sheep and beef farm owned by a private charitable trust established in 2014 for recreation and education in the Papamoa Hills. It is home to the A1 Academy a local leadership programme for youth. The combination of views, bush and open farm land with bike trails
and walking tracks make it a great place to visit. There are many beautiful spots across the farm with breathtaking views of the
Bay of Plenty and beyond. The Ridgeline walk gave us at times 360 degree views. Rewarewa flowers were lining the bush walks and
the trees were magnificent. Our next tramp is a weekend away to Whitianga, which is now fully booked.
Busy month at the Clubs gather for Cambridge Red Cross Cambridge tournament Submitted by Cambridge Red Cross It has been another busy month for our volunteer drivers, with client numbers ever increasing, transporting clients to Waikato Hospital and other medical appointments in Hamilton. Anyone requiring transport to the hospital and medical appointments please call Jan on 027 6677076. If any Cambridge resident is wanting medical equipment for loan, please contact Ngaire on 827 7613. This year we will be holding a Christmas afternoon tea for all our drivers and committee, to be held in the Red Cross Hall on Thursday 14th December.
Exhibition this weekend
The Cambridge Society of Arts’ annual exhibition takes place this weekend at St Andrew’s church hall, on both Saturday and Sunday (November 18 and 19) from 10am-4pm each day, with free entry and art for sale. The paintings have been completed by the Society’s members over the past 12 months, showcasing a variety of styles including abstract, impressionism and realism, using a range of different mediums, from water colour to oils, to depict all sorts of different subjects. Visitors will be able to vote for their favourite art work with the winning artist receiving the ‘People’s Choice’ award. The Cambridge Society of Arts meets at The Painting Place on Thornton Road three times a week. For more information phone 07 823 4987.
Submitted by the Cambridge Bowling Club Monday’s weather report for our recent tournament on Wednesday last week was shocking, but by Tuesday night it had been downgraded to a morning downpour and then fine. True to form, 7 o’clock on Wednesday morning gave us tremendous rain but this stopped by 9.30am, and with a reduced schedule we started play. From then on it was a perfect day for bowls. We had teams from Hinuera, Putararu, Arapuni, Frankton Junction and Te Awamutu. Butch Hamilton and his team from Putararu placed third, Erich Redder and his team from Cambridge were second, and the winner was Ian Lawson and his team, again from Putararu. Well done to all the winners and to all those who braved the early weather forecast and had a great day. Thank you to all those who prepared the green in the early rain, and prepared a lovely afternoon tea making the day one to remember. Well done.
BMXers come to town On Saturday 18 November the Cambridge BMX Club will host their annual ‘Twilight Meet’ at their world class facility on Milton Street.

In addition, there will be an exciting freestyle show by local Paul Langlands and his crew ‘Lifestyle Freestyle’ from 6.45pm. All are welcome to come along and check out the action.

All welcome at Ladies’ Lunch Submitted by the Resthaven Community & Events organisers
All are welcome to come along to the Community Ladies Lunch on Friday 24 November – a Resthaven event organised for the Cambridge community. It will be held at the Resthaven Village Centre, 4 Vogel Street, doors opening at 12 noon and lunch served at 12:30pm. This will include a yummy two-course lunch with refreshments and a cuppa and
mint biscuit to finish. We open these events up to everyone in the community – not just Resthaven so if you would like to come along and join in please phone Jackie on reception 827 6097 to make your booking. Entry is $20 per person. This month our guest speakers are from the Waikato branch of Foster Hope. This Charity is about having every day essential items available at a moment’s notice, put altogether
in a backpack to accompany children needing urgent foster care. Many children come with only what they stand up in so items such as pyjamas, toothbrush and paste, socks, slippers, combs, flannels etc are very acceptable. This month instead of a raffle you may wish to bring and unwrapped gift suitable to put into a backpack or two. This will be very much appreciated.

The film fires on all cylinders and is really enjoyable. Fuelled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman's (Henry Cavill) selfless act, Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) enlists newfound ally Diana Prince to face an even greater threat. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to recruit a team to stand against this newly awakened enemy. Despite the formation of an unprecedented league of heroes (Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and the Flash) it may be too late to save the planet from an assault of
catastrophic proportions. It’s a blast; engaging, the heroes are great and there's some surprisingly effective character work; so much fun from beginning to end.

Killing of a Sacred Deer
WA R U
Dr. Steven Murphy (Colin Farrell) is a renowned cardiovascular surgeon presiding over a spotless household with his ophthalmologist wife Anna (Nicole Kidman) and their two exemplary children, 12-year-old Bob (Sunny Suljic) and 14-yearold Kim (Raffey Cassidy). Lurking at the margins of his idyllic suburban existence is Martin (Barry Keoghan), a fatherless teen who Steven has covertly taken under his wing. As Martin begins insinuating himself into the family's life in ever-more unsettling displays, the full scope of his intent becomes menacingly clear when he confronts Steven with a long-forgotten transgression that will shatter the Murphy family's domestic bliss.
