Ecobags going viral

By Claire Castle

A local initiative to make netting bags to replace single use plastic bags for fruit and vegetables has exceeded the organiser’s wildest dreams, with the bags selling out almost as soon as they hit the shelves.

The woman behind the initiative, Sam Brydon, said she was overwhelmed with the level of interest in the $2 bags, which come in various sizes and weaves.

“I thought I’d make 10 bags and take them down to Vege Fresh,” she said, adding that her partner told her not to be upset if

she didn’t sell them all.

As it turned out that was not a problem, as the bags soon sold out and Vege Fresh was sending Sam a text asking for more. Sam put the call out for volunteers to help on the Cambridge Grapevine Facebook group. From there, it quickly captured the imagination of the community and 25 people put their hands up to help sew the bags either in their own homes or at Sam’s place. And there were more stores offering to stock the bags, which keep selling out thanks to the current wave of anti-plastic bag sentiment

sweeping the town. Even the Lions’ Shed had dispensed with plastic shopping bags, sewing bee participant Debbie Norvill pointed out. The Facebook group Sam started, Plastic Bag Free Cambridge, has attracted 125 members in a matter of days.

Veteran op-shopper

Sam sources all the material from op shops – mainly net curtains – and the drawstring ribbons and even the cotton she uses are all second hand.

It’s been much more work than she had anticipated, Sam said, adding that if anyone in the community would like to take it over she would be most

grateful. “I’d be happy just running up the odd bag,” she laughed.

Next on the agenda for the group is the creation of a Boomerang Bag initiative – a supply of reusable shopping bags at the supermarket which people can borrow if they have forgotten theirs, returning them at a later

stage for others to use.

The bags will be made by recycling fabric, with some as easy as sewing up the bottom of a singlet and using the shoulder straps as handles.

But Sam is definitely hoping someone else will take the lead on that one, she has her hands full for now.

Lacrosse triumph

The Waikato under 15 lacrosse team, which included 10 students from Cambridge, has become the first New Zealand team to win the Australasian Under 15 Championships in Perth, Australia, earlier this month.

Read all about it on page 18.

Well another long weekend has been and gone, and I don’t know about you, but I could have done with at least another day. Like many parents in Cambridge I found myself at the Zirka Circus with my daughter over the weekend, with my son boycotting it due to a previously unknown aversion to clowns. There were clowns there, but they hardly seemed to be likely to drag you into the sewers to your death à la Stephen King (however recent experience tells me that you never really know with people). It was highly entertaining, but it looked a lot like hard work from where I was sitting. There were parents there with kids of all ages, and what looked like some people on a date.

Which raises questions, such as ‘why?’ and ‘will there be another date?’ As I sat there in awe of the performers’ acrobatic manoeuvring and wondering why on earth you would go there on a date, I wondered if people

still dream of running away with the circus, or has this been replaced with winning Lotto and going to live on a tropical island? Because frankly I doubt most of us would be capable of anything like the acrobatics that were on display; the balancing prowess of most people I know is limited to juggling bags and shopping while they unlock the front door. And given that the kids seem underwhelmed by this, it’s probably best to stick with buying Lotto tickets.

This week we are still waiting for the pool to open, however a pleasant change from last week is that we now have a decision on the government front. Given the intense level of debate in the community and on social media, probably the less said about that the better.

Tradie’s breakfast a hit Bunnings held a Tradie’s breakfast on Friday to encourage the community to engrave their tools. The initiative will make identifying stolen property easier for police as well as preventing the theft of building materials. Bunnings has sponsored two engravers to Cambridge police for the continuation of the project. If any residents or tradies would like their tools engraved, please contact Senior Constable Holly Warner at the Cambridge police or bring your tools to the Cambridge Community Day on Sunday November 19 at the Senior Citizens’ Hall on Victoria Street.

Between October 20 – 21 Burglary at the Community Hall on Kaipaki Rd, Ohaupo. Several items were taken, including a BBQ, a 60inch TV and a lawnmower.

Friday October 20 A wallet was taken from a vehicle that was left unlocked on Victoria St. Someone then used the bankcards to make several purchases using pay wave totalling almost $300. CCTV is available.

Saturday October 21 A stolen trailer was recovered from a Cambridge East address.

A fatal crash in a police pursuit this week sparked discussions in the media around the idea of abandoning police pursuits in New Zealand. We hit the street to see what the people think…

Aidan Boswell They’ve got to chase, why would you stop for a police officer if they’re not going to chase you. It’s not good for the risk of innocent bystanders but the alternative is untenable.

Jo Davies-Colley Dangerous people need to be stopped but public safety needs to be taken into consideration when it gets too dangerous. There needs to be a balance.

James Stevens They could improve high speed driver training or introduce policy so that in certain dangerous situations they abandon the pursuit, similar to British policy.

Songbird flying high big winner of the recording contract.

Whatever happens, though, Denise said other doors might open for her daughter and she will only gain from the contacts she is making.

And she is making lifelong friends in the process. Denise said that the

contestants all get on famously, which is making the whole experience that much sweeter for the Cambridge singer.

Watch this space for further updates on Anna’s journey from Columbus Coffee in Cambridge to the bright lights of Tinseltown.

Halfway through her six-week dream trip to Los Angeles, Anna Saxton is living the showbiz life and loving every minute of it. Anna is one of 16 singers from around the world living in a mansion, vying for a recording contract with Universal Music. Along the way, the artists are exposed to the who’s who of the record industry in LA, spending time with everyone from Randy Jackson to Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds as they hone their craft.

And all the while they are having their every move recorded for a seven-part reality television series, expected to air later this year.

Anna said the experience has been priceless, and getting the chance to work with top-calibre songwriter on an original song for the finale has been the chance of a lifetime.

Anna’s mother, Denise Saxton, has been closely monitoring her daughter’s progress and said she couldn’t be prouder of Anna’s achievement just getting into the competition. And now that she’s there, Denise said the experience will set Anna up well for the rest of her music career.

“She’s living the life but she’s getting the tools to take her to the next level in the (music) industry,” Denise said. Next up for the contestants is a much-anticipated trip to Las Vegas on November 4, before returning to the Anna Saxton, who performs under the name Saxi, is making the most of the mansion to find out who will be the opportunity to learn from the best in Los Angeles.

Poolwatch

By Claire Castle

The sodden ground around the Cambridge Pool is still putting the brakes on this year’s swimming season, with no opening date in sight. GoWaipa’s Chief Executive Matthew Horne said groundwater levels around the pool are still too high and the pool cannot be safely drained, otherwise the risk is that it might pop out of the ground or, more likely, the sides might collapse from the pressure.

There are three Piezometers around the perimeter of the pool, roughly speaking these are holes in the ground allowing for a ‘dipstick’ type of measurement to check groundwater levels.

There needs to be 1.45m depth from the surface to the groundwater before the pool can be drained.

The south side’s Piezometer has been clear all along, however the last readings for the east side was 46cm and the northern side was 50cm, meaning almost a metre of groundwater still needs to subside before the pool can be emptied.

The Piezometers are being checked every working day by council staff, but progress is slow. In the period from October 16 – 20 the level dropped by just 5cm.

Once the pool can finally be drained, Matt said that, all going well, it will take two weeks to get the pool up to an operational standard. We will continue to monitor progress, and you can follow GoWaipa on Facebook or check their website, www.GoWaipa. com for updates.

Water consultation opens Hamilton City and Waipa District Councils have launched a joint consultation process around forming a separate company to manage water, wastewater and stormwater.

In May this year both councils agreed a joint, non-asset owning shared waters management company was their preferred option for consultation to manage water services in the future, given growth and advantages of scale.

The proposed company would not own any major water assets; assets would remain 100 per cent owned by each council. All major

decisions, including decisions on capital projects, investment and how to charge for water would continue to be made by elected members at respective councils. The finances of each council would remain completely separate.

Waikato District Council, which has also been involved in discussions, has yet to decide whether or not it supports forming a company with the other two councils.

A month long consultation process begins today and finishes on November 27. Verbal submissions will be heard on December 1 before a joint

panel made up of three Hamilton City and three Waipa District Councillors plus an independent chair.

Both councils plan on making final decisions before Christmas so information can be factored into their draft 10-Year Plans to be released publicly early next year.

People can have their say on the proposal by picking up information and a form from council offices and libraries, or going to www. waterstudywaikato.org.nz/ haveyoursay.

‘Welcome to our world of art’

A typo on a street sign has caused a bit of confusion in Cambridge East, with a section of Robinson Street being renamed Robinson Road. Some residents wondered if it was following the example of Victoria Street, which becomes Victoria Road as it heads out of town, however council confirms it is an error and the sign will be replaced with the correct version. The real Robinson Road remains in Roto-O-Rangi, where it’s been for years.

Statement from Louise Upston While it is disappointing that National does not have the opportunity to continue the work we believe has made New Zealand a strong and vibrant nation economically and socially, we can look back at the progress we have made over the last nine years and be pleased that our country is in good shape.

The new coalition government has some great opportunities to build on the foundations that we have laid. I wish them well and I will look forward to seeing how the next term unfolds for our

country.

National will go into Opposition in a strong position with nearly one in two New Zealanders’ support and we will ensure the new government delivers on its promises and deal with the issues people care about.

As the MP for Taupo I want to assure you that I will continue to work hard and advocate strongly on your behalf.

The ongoing success of our region and its people is of utmost importance to me and it is crucial that the communities in the Taupo

Military fun for everyone This year’s Armistice in Cambridge is going to commemorate the first significant tank battle in history. Taking place in November of 1917, the Battle of Cambrai saw over 400 tanks take part in a major First World War allied offensive.

Held once again at the Mighty River Domain, Lake Karapiro, the military themed Armistice in Cambridge is in its sixteenth year and continues to grow in popularity. This year it is timed for November 11-12, the 11th day of the 11th month being the date the Armistice that ended the war was signed.

The event’s purpose is to commemorate New Zealand’s military history, and a significant aspect of this is to educate our younger citizens. Starting three years ago, the event now includes over twenty fun, educational and exciting activities for kids (of all ages) to enjoy.

These include operating radio control tanks, making a scale model aircraft or tank, trying archery and shooting an airsoft gun.

The most popular activity is the now famous ‘trench battle’, fought with paper swords and flour bombs. Players are divided into two teams and given playing and safety instructions, following which they commence ‘battle’.

The motive behind including the kid’s activities is that you learn more through engaging experiences.

In keeping with the tank theme this year, a good number of historic military vehicles will be present, including World War Two

Stuart and Valentine tanks, a German armoured car and a tracked self-propelled gun.

The various re-enactment groups will perform small pieces from major battles that Kiwi troops fought in, including the World War Two Crete battle and a skirmish from the Long Range Desert Group.

Tickets have been kept to the same value-for-money prices of previous years, at $15 for adults per day and $5 for those aged 12 and under. The event promises two full days of family fun and excitement. Follow the event on Facebook: www.facebook.com/ ArmisticeinCambridge

Gateway gears kids for future

By Sophie Iremonger

Students in Years 12 and 13 at Cambridge High School can explore their post-high school options and get a taste of the career they’d like to pursue through the school’s Gateway programme, supported by coordinator Liz Wilson.

What really makes the difference for the students, said Liz, is the support from local businesses that makes these learning experiences possible.

The programme works by giving students one day per week of full-time, unpaid work experience in the field of their interest, across a ten-week period. Some students enjoy the experience so much that they continue

the work past the ten-day minimum, and, in some cases, gain employment.

That was the case for Logan Henderson, a year 12 student at Cambridge High School who will start full time work with Cambridge company C&R Developments at the end of this month, after wrapping up his final school year.

“I wanted to be a mechanic for a long time,” explained Logan, who has spent most of this year doing the Gateway programme with the company.

“I started working here and I really liked it from the first day, on the second day I asked for a job,” he laughed, “I got told to wait and see.”

Logan is one of several Gateway students

employed by C&R Developments in recent years after completing the programme with them.

“Without businesses like C&R, this programme wouldn’t be possible,” said Liz, who wants to encourage other local businesses to get involved with the Gateway programme. “They don’t have to employ them, it’s just about giving them the experience. And it’s really supporting our community in a positive way.”

“It (Gateway) is a really good programme, I reckon everyone should have a go at it,” said Cory Fisher, 22, the first Gateway student employed by C&R in 2013. “I think I’ve always known I wanted to be in the mechanic side of

things, I always mucked around with little engines and, getting into this bigger stuff is just a dream really.”

21-year-old George Hudson, who did the Gateway programme in 2015, said he nagged Simon Ross, one of the four Ross brothers who founded C&R Developments, for a job for a few weeks until he “gave in”. “It’s a great environment to be in, working here,” he said.

Simon Ross said they were happy to help guide the next generation into the industry, and liked the fact that it gave them the chance to teach them the correct methods, getting things the right way the first time, without developing bad or

incorrect habits.

“We get to train them the way we want to train them,” Simon said. “The older guys in the work force, they’ve got all the knowledge, so really it’s about trying to get it out and teach these young guys, because if they don’t hand it on it all comes to a grinding halt.”

“Simon gets them and then I have to deal with them,” joked Rob Schwartz, who directs the young workers. “It can be a little challenging at times,” he laughed, “but these guys are pretty good. They get thrown in the deep end quite a lot, but there’s a lot of people here who don’t mind helping, steering and giving advice.”

Liz said she hoped more

businesses would sign up with the school’s Gateway programme, which supports students into work experience across almost every industry.

Investing in Bitcoins, cryptocurrencies and blockchain We have been talking to our clients recently about whether they should invest in Bitcoin, or cryptocurrencies. The short answer is NO, unless you can afford to lose all the money that you are investing.

Why do we say no?

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are virtual payment networks built using blockchain technology.

These currencies are used for both illegal and legal business transactions, but also as an ‘investment’ (or speculation). A cryptocurrency is ‘a monetary system where encryption is used to secure transactions and in theory keep transactions anonymous.’

Speculative unregulated highly volatile investments While there has been recent publicity about the fact that the price of bitcoin has increased in the last year, the price of cryptocurrencies are highly volatile.

Because a cryptocurrency is an artificial construct, not backed by any assets, the value will be dependent purely on supply and demand. It is easy to launch a new cryptocurrency, which will change the demand for the existing currencies. It is generally believed that the bitcoin price is in a bubble at present. (A google search for bitcoin price bubble brings up 322,000 results).

These offerings are also unregulated.

What are you actually investing in?

Unlike companies like Apple, Amazon, GE, Toyota, Nike, Bitcoin doesn’t actually produce anything, or have any revenues.

The golden rule to long term investing is that you ‘invest for the purposes of generating an income’.

This is generally in the form of interest, dividends or rent and the capital gains on an investment reflect the calculation of those future income streams.

A cryptocurrency does not enable you to do this, so you are purely investing in a currency. However, a currency of a sovereign nation actually has trade flows and a sovereign is able to raise taxes to support the value of a currency. A cryptocurrency does not, it has a distributed ledger and records of who owns what.

Hacking and theft risks Although cryptocurrency offerors take extensive steps to protect users, with cryptography and privacy technology, they can still be hacked and stolen. There have been a number of examples of this in August 2017 alone.

Although these are highly speculative, the glut of offerings may ‘spawn promising companies and technologies’. But from a financial planning perspective, you need to be prepared to lose all your money – so leave it to the venture capitalists at this stage.

For more information on this topic visit our website at www.moneyworks.co.nz and look at the ‘Money, Investing and Savings Blog’. To discuss your investment and financial planning strategy, contact us at contact@moneyworks.co.nz to arrange a meeting.

Parents providing healthy inspiration

After: Ready to compete in the New Zealand Fitness Model search this weekend.

By Sophie Iremonger

Cambridge parents can take inspiration from a local couple who recently stepped up their healthy habits for a competition taking place this weekend, inspiring families as ‘Mum and Dad’ fitness models.

Danny and Mel Burt signed up about 3 months ago for the new ‘Mums and Dads’ segment of the 2017 New Zealand Fitness Model Search, which takes place annually as part of the NZ Health Expo in Auckland this weekend.

“It took me over a month to talk her into it,” laughed Danny, who has built up his experience on stage doing physique body building competitions.

“If someone had said to me a few years ago that I would be up on a stage doing this I would have laughed at them!”

“I wasn’t overly sure at first,” said Mel. “It’s really outside the comfort zone, but what I liked about the Mums and Dads side (of the competition), is that the judges aren’t necessarily looking for the same sort of criteria as the fitness models, it’s more about having a maintainable, sustainable lifestyle, they want someone who’s going to promote a

healthy lifestyle. It’s not all about what you look like, it’s about how you lead your life, and if you can inspire.”

As part of the competition the Burts have been running a Facebook page – www.facebook.com/ ontheroadtowellbeing – which details their journey toward the competition, as well as providing inspiration and tips for other families and budding fitness fans.

“We just want people to know, don’t let numbers dictate your lifestyle. I had never done fitness before 5 years ago, never, not even at school, and I’ve had 6 children!”

Students back from China

By Sophie Iremonger

Cambridge Primary School’s group of students, parents and teachers who ventured to China this month have returned from their trip with smiling faces and some quirky stories to tell.

In addition to seeing how different the culture is to New Zealand, many of the children said their favourite part of the 11day trip was trying the food.

“I really liked the food, it was very different,” student Annelies Banks said. “I ate a whole snail.”

But snails weren’t the strangest thing they ate – some members of the group also tried scorpion, frogs, chicken feet and deep-fried worms.

“We thought they were noodles,” Ashton Wallace said of the worms. “I ate like six of them, and I was eating another one when

they said, ‘it’s worms’, and I was like ‘eeew’.”

Live prawns were probably the strangest food of all. “It was moving,” Isabella HarrisEarly said of the sensation of a live prawn in her mouth, adding that it was a little weird but it didn’t put her off.

Cambridge Primary School Principal Mike Pettit said it was great to see the kids soak in the language and the culture.

“These guys (the

students) were like energizer bunnies, they just kept going, so they were just soaking it in, so for me that was the biggest pleasure, actually just seeing these guys soak in the language and culture.”

The students even used their Mandarin language skills when they spent the last few days staying with host families from their Chinese sisterschool Shenlong Primary.

Other highlights from

the trip were cruising the Huangpu River in the evening, street markets, the Shanghai Natural History Museum and seeing a real-life panda bear at Shanghai Zoo. Student Emily Hunter said it was really strange and “felt like a dream”, “because you don’t see pandas in New Zealand.”

Mike said they were grateful to the New Zealand China Sister Schools Fund for helping to make the trip possible.

illiterate, starting with the birth of Henry VII in 1457 and running all the way through to the death of the last Tudor monarch, Elizabeth I, in 1603. There’s also a family tree at the start so you can figure out where everyone fits. All good stuff. It was an interesting book, with plenty of colour and life in it. It was certainly not a dusty look back at the relationship between Queen Elizabeth I and Mary, Queen of Scots. It provided valuable insight into the characters and motivations of the two women, both of whom were very different and interesting in their own rights.

Mary’s fate was sealed right from the start, and Dunn dispels the myth that she was a Catholic martyr. Rather she is characterised as a selfindulgent diva with possible manic-depressive cycles, who was taught from an early age that she was entitled to the throne.

Elizabeth, on the other hand, was careful to the point of indecision and never took her rule for granted. Interestingly the pair never met face-toface, due to Elizabeth’s refusal. In the end, the power struggle between the Tudor Queen and Mary saw Mary parted from her head, and this book was a fascinating look at the paths both women took to get there.

Laurie’s best-ever world cup win Former Cambridge local Katie Laurie, a sixtime winner of the FEI New Zealand World Cup Jumping Series, reckoned her victory on Friday in the opening round of the 2017-2018 series was her best ever.

Riding aboard Breeze,

she headed home a quality 17-strong field in the Bayleys Real Estate New Zealand League World Cup jumping qualifier at the Hawke’s Bay Royal A&P Show over a challenging Roger Laplanche-designed course.

“I am the most excited I have ever been to win a World Cup,” said Laurie, who is now based in Australia. And as gutsy as the win was, Laurie announced the retirement of the 12-year-old bay mare, who has been competing in World Cups

since late 2014.

Breeze will head to the brood mare paddock where Laurie is hopeful she produces a future star.

Laurie took the win with Matangi’s Clarke Johnstone, on début at World Cup

showjumping level, in sixth. Other riders from the wider local area to finish strongly at the event included Morrinsville’s Emma Watson and Maddox Fun House jumping the only double clear to take the win in the Country TV

Pony Grand Prix, and Putaruru’s Ally Carson and Sir Gandolf winning the FEI World Jumping Challenge – category B. Carson was also sixth in the Pony Grand Prix aboard Tony the Pony.

Speakers take to stage

By Sophie Iremonger

Cambridge Middle School’s top speakers took to the stage last week for the school’s annual speech finals, where teachers’ top-picks across Year 7 and 8 contested for the top titles in front of their peers.

Students gathered in the hall on Thursday last week for the Year 7 finals, judged by Principal Ross Tyson, and later the Year 8 finals – judged by yours truly, along with teacher and experienced speechmaker Taryn Power.

I can quite honestly say, as the judges we were simply blown away by the quality of speaking, writing and delivery from these budding public speakers. All of them deserved immense credit, for not only getting up in

well-written speech and utilising space and body language effectively.

It was two thumbs up to all the finalists we had the pleasure of listening

to. Ultimately, we had to pick a top three, but we felt it was an excellent performance from everyone who had the guts to get up on stage.

The top-placed speech finalists. Back row, Year 8: Noa Rachmani (1st), Bastiaan Banks (3rd), Minnie Glover (2nd). Front: Front row, Year 7: Evie Ismay (3rd equal), Holly Robinson (2nd), Keeley Thomas (1st), Isla Te Weehi (3rd equal).

front of so many people, but leaving their nerves at the stage side and delivering a fantastically confident performance.

Bastian Banks, with his speech on “the great Kiwi road trip”, could very well become a comedian, demonstrating excellent wit and humour with instant audience engagement. He placed in a close third-place, though could have easily taken first.

In second was Minnie Glover, with her speech on reality TV and its wider context in life – both funny, meaningful and rather thought-provoking, with a great stage presence.

Noa Rachmani was placed first for her excellent speech about lying. She ultimately took the win for not only being humorous and confident, but also for having a very

Kenpo 5.0 founder Jeff Speakman swept into town last week, checking in on his Cambridge students. Arriving in a darkened car, there was a sense of show-biz as Speakman, who has also appeared 13 martial arts movies, put the young class through their paces.

Mark Robinson, fifth degree black belt and head instructor of the local Kenpo 5.0 said that Speakman tries to visit his franchises annually, but this is difficult now that the discipline has spread to 18 countries.

Mark said the visit not only energised the students but also was

a chance for them to learn new things, as the technique is always evolving. “It’s a living art,” Mark explained.

Speakman’s young proteges were given the chance to ask questions at the end of the session.

Along with the usual Kempo-related questions of “what’s your favourite kick” and “what’s your favourite block”, one brave pupil asked the master if he used to have a six-pack when he was younger.

Apparently, he did.

Following the juniors, Speakman also trained with a mixed junior and adult class for an hour and a half, leaving a definite buzz in the dojo in his wake.

It was a rare chance for students to be trained by 9th degree black belt and founder of Kenpo 5.0, Jeff Speakman.

Youth team wins at nationals Supplied by the Cambridge Football Club Cambridge has landed another football title after winning a national youth tournament in Napier.

The club’s under 19 youth side won the prestigious Satellite Tournament over Labour Weekend, beating Tauranga City United 3-2 in a thrilling final.

Cambridge’s current youth team was the strongest in many years, with most of the squad taken from the club’s first and second teams who won both the WaiBOP Premiership and Championship titles.

Their path to the final began with qualifying group wins against Taradale (4-0), Papakura City (4-0) and North Shore United (2-0), and a 1-1 draw with Franklin United.

Cambridge lost their final group game 1-0 to FC Twenty 11.

In their quarterfinal, Cambridge beat Havelock North 1-0 with

the winner scored by Joshua Clarkin.

In the semi-final, Cambridge avenged their defeat to FC Twenty 11, beating them 2-0 with goals from Clarkin and Levi Clark.

In the final, Cambridge took a 2-0 half-time lead when Clarkin and Mason Woodall found the net, and Woodall made it 3-0 early in the second spell with a penalty.

But Tauranga fought back with goals from Steffano Riley and Nils Winistoerfer, and also missed a penalty.

Cambridge withstood the late pressure and ran down the clock to win the tournament trophy.

Winning the Satellite Final means the club qualifies to compete in the Main Group next year, ranked among the top 20 youth teams in New Zealand.

OUR stories…

Local couple’s devoted restorati

Cambridge is richly endowed with interesting old buildings and the stories they tell. One of them – Valmai House in Victoria Str

By Viv Posselt

The Hulsdouws purchased Valmai House in early 2011.

“We bought the house because we had always admired it. Then it came up for sale just as we had started looking for an accommodation property. It fitted the bill, but needed a lot of work,” Peter explained.

“Our intention from the outset was to bring the property back to its original state as much as we could without blowing the budget. We want it to reflect its history. The house was built in kauri as a family home in 1901. It has a colourful past that is really very interesting; we wanted to reference that in how we tackled the re-design and décor.”

A Cambridge Museum photograph of Valmai House in its early years.

They were eager to bring the stately old Victorian landmark back into service without losing its character and charm, all the while knowing that the building’s historic status would define any planned renovations. The house has a category two New Zealand Historic Places label and is an ‘A’ list historic building on the Cambridge Museum website - the Hulsdouws knew there was unlikely to be a lot of wriggle-room in giving this gracious old lady a facelift.

“We have worked very closely with the Waipa District Council and Heritage New Zealand. They’ve been very helpful throughout this entire process – it has made it all so much easier. We’ve probably spent in excess of $400,000 in renovations so far.

With that as their focus, the Hulsdouws brought every bit of their extensive previous property experience to the task.

Peter helps run Lugton’s Real Estate Cambridge and is accustomed to bringing past and future together for the region’s home-seekers. He’s been in real estate for 17 years and has multiple awards under his belt, while his wife Lee-Anne is the person who keeps Valmai’s business and managerial roles moving along. She’s the details person, the quality controller taking care of all the small yet crucial aspects of making this place so special.

The result is a lovely, respectful return to the building’s past with all the creature comforts of the 21st Century.

Colours are muted throughout, cleverlyselected wallpapers give off a soft sheen, and both fittings and furnishings have been kept simple but harmonise well with the building’s era. Against this backdrop, beautiful colourful glass details embedded in the windows and intricately-tiled fireplaces are given subdued space in which to shine.

Much of the interior has been entrusted to Darren Ah Kiau, a designer with Hamilton’s Forma Furniture.

Peter described Darren’s approach as “sensitive and tasteful”, one that dovetails well with their renovation budget.

An unexpected quirk during the renovations saw the Hulsdouws discover quite by chance the origins of their colourful entrance hall tiles while on a visit to Australia.

“We saw the identical tiles in a property in Melbourne,” said Peter. “It turns out they come from an English tiling company, Maw & Co, who started out in 1850. It’s fascinating to have found that out only by seeing the same tiles in a property we visited in another country; we had no idea of their origin before that.”

The couple has renovated all the bedrooms, re-done the fretwork, completely rebuilt one of the decks, fixed up the front entranceway and replaced much of the garden.

The glass conservatory nestled under trees in the corner of the property has a story of its own to tell. Described as the “town’s first hothouse”, the Corinthianstyle hothouse/conservatory was built in 1881 at Major Wilson’s ‘Waterside’ residence in Wilson Street. It was gifted to Valmai House in 1966 and transported to the property by Cambridge Transport.

“We have done some renovations to the conservatory, really to protect it for the time being, but there is still more to do. Even so, it attracts a lot of attention.”

Valmai House catches many a curious eye, and the range of visitors to the

renovated property has included groups with a penchant for things Victorian.

People randomly ask if they can have photographs taken with the buildings, and Peter tells of a group of ladies who stayed for a weekend, dressed in period attire for the duration and ate Victorianera food.

Other guests have included vintage car groups, international visitors, business groups and policiticans. On many occasions, the Hulsdouws find themselves being charmed by music coming from the piano they put into the renovated formal lounge room.

When Valmai House went up for sale seven years ago, it was being run as a bed-and-breakfast operation. In previous incarnations, the property has been a

Valmai House stately private home, boarding house, a private hospital, motel, rest home and school dormitory.

ion is an elegant legacy of love

reet – is nearing the end of a renovation that has seen new life breathed into it by local couple Peter and Lee-Anne Hulsdouw. house, built in 1901 as a family home for former Cambridge Mayor James Hally, his wife Elizabeth and their nine children, has played a significant part in the town’s history.

Decades before the home was built, the wider Hally family had arrived in Cambridge after sailing from Scotland in 1862 aboard the ‘Hanover’. James had been born 20 years before that voyage, the third child born to parents John and Eliza Hally.

Records show that the family had much to do with the development of Cambridge during those early years.

James initially started a general store down by the wharf, but after selling it went into partnership with his brothers to form Hally Bros. From them on, the

e as it is today. trio were involved in hotels, the brewery business, a flour mill, and farming through the dairy co-operative.

On September 1, 1880, James married Elizabeth, daughter of Edward and

Mere Davis. His occupation as listed on his marriage certificate at the time was ‘insurance agent’; six years later he became a lawyer. In the same decade he became a sitting borough councillor, and was elected mayor from 1887-88.

Eris compiled a booklet on Valmai House for the Hulsdouws, and in it she describes the house James Hally had built from the plans of architects Mitchell and Watt as “an impressive Queen Anne villa with expansive rooms”, complete with ornate pressed ceilings, tiled fireplaces with tall chimneys and colourful leadlight windows.

She also references the three portraits of women, painted on glass in the house’s foyer. Neither she nor the Hulsdouws are sure which women they represent, but Peter and Lee-Anne imagine they could be of women in the Hally family.

Extensive renovations were done to the property in 1980 when it was converted into a rest home, and there are outbuildings and an old outhouse at the rear of the property that need only a coat of paint to complete their restoration.

Peter insists the old outhouse remains serviceable.

When the Hulsdouws purchased Valmai House, they were determined to bring the house back to its former glory and make it their own family base. They established a three-bedroomed home for themselves and their daughter in one wing of the main house, and discreetly sectioned it off from the main house to give guests a level of privacy.

One of the first things they did in terms of the overall renovation was to upgrade the block of four two-bedroomed motel units located on the King Street side of the property and bring them up to a useable condition.

“We did that fairly soon after buying it so the motel could provide us with the income to let us get on with what we wanted to do inside. It’s been very fullon, but we’re almost finished. Between

the motel units and the nine bedrooms in the main house, we can accommodate up to 36 guests.”

Valmai House is now fully operational as a guest house and motel. Because it is also a home to the Hulsdouw family, there are touches throughout that make it just that – among them numerous delightful paintings done by Peter’s father Gerardus, displayed with pride down the passageways.

And as for the name Valmai – it seems no-one has any record of why the house was called that. An easy bit of research uncovers Welsh origins for the name, suggesting it is a girl’s name meaning spring flower, or mayflower.

Perhaps, given the history of the house and its occupants over more than a century, there is something in that name after all.

“We knew it was going to be tough because the level this year was much higher than any other year that we’ve been… but they really wanted it, they put in 100 percent the whole time.”

Year 13 Cambridge High School (CHS) student and assistant coach Melissa Gratwicke said they were extremely proud to see the girls get as far as they did, “I don’t think any of them were expecting it, but we sort of knew from the start that they could do it if they really put their all into it and they did.”

The team includes CHS students Chloe Robinson, Alice Taylor, Josie Taylor, Kendall Turner, Abbey Kanters and Jodi Mouat, as well as St Peter’s students Brooke Bolstad, Jaime Granich and Orla White.

Having won all but one of their games, they came up against the Victorian state team for the final, in a game that went right down to the wire.

“We were up by one goal with 30 seconds to

go when one of our girls (Brooke Bolstad) took a shot and scored,” Dean said.

“Usually the tactic at that point would have been hold possession so the other team can’t get the ball, but she got it.”

“I’m surprised she couldn’t hear Dean and I both screaming at her to hold on to it,” Melissa laughed. “So when she sunk that goal we knew we’d won.”

Melissa has now been recognised for her lacrosse expertise in more ways than one.

She has also been awarded a full-ride scholarship to the University of Heartford in Connecticut, studying prosthetics and orthotics, and is set to depart for the States in January.

“It’s really exciting, I’m looking forward to it. It’s a really interesting field.”

Six of the Cambridge players on the Waikato U15 girls team – Chloe, Alice, Josie, Kendall, Jodi and Brooke – have been selected to play for the national U19 team.

Yearbury wins Hard Adventure Enduro Words and photo by Andy McGechan, www.BikesportNZ.com Dirt got the better of Waikato bike rider Dylan Yearbury at last season's annual Husqvarna Hard Adventure Enduro, but this time around it was Yearbury who conquered the treacherous off-road terrain near Tokoroa.

The 22-year-old diesel mechanic from Cambridge had been forced to withdraw from this extreme enduro event last year when dirt entered his eye and caused it to painfully swell up.

For the 2017 edition of the popular Husqvarna Hard Adventure Enduro, staged over two-anda-half days of Labour Weekend, Yearbury was back and with a now 2018-model fuel-injected two-stroke Husqvarna TC300i, determined to "settle some unfinished business".

Yearbury finished fourth overall at Friday night's prologue event, where the riders tackled obstacles such as tractor tyres, logs and concrete pipes in the SATCO logging attachments company yard in Tokoroa.

Results achieved over this spectacular manmade spectator-friendly prologue course were used to determine qualification and starting positions for each of the Gold, Silver and Bronze category riders

the following day.

Record eight-time former New Zealand moto trials champion Jake Whitaker, from Wellington, won the tricky prologue, finishing ahead of Napier's Mackenzie Wiig, Helensville's Tom Buxton and then Yearbury.

However, winning the prologue is only a small part of the gruelling test.

Whitaker and several other riders too were punished early the next day, each docked 15 minutes after they misread their Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) devices and ended up skipping an entire section of the track.

This handed the initiative to Yearbury, who had correctly navigated the terrain and therefore earned a handy lead over the chasing bunch.

Yearbury rode solidly throughout Saturday and Sunday and maintained his advantage and, although Whitaker closed in on him near the end, Yearbury had done enough to win the Gold grade by just over 11 minutes from Whitaker, with Wiig finishing third overall, more than nine minutes further back.

"It was a tough event and I know that's what it was supposed to be. The expansion chamber of my bike's exhaust took a bit of a hammering," Yearbury laughed.

"They were long, hard, tough days of riding. The course had everything, from tight sections to fast bits, steep up-hills, downhills, forest trails, bush bashing, rock gardens, creek crossings and bogs.

There wasn't much time to rest."

Meanwhile, Putaruru's Nigel Smith won the Silver grade and Cambridge's Beau Taylor finished top of the Bronze grade.

Physique champ eyeing Mr Universe

By Sophie Iremonger

A former Cambridge resident now based in Perth has made his mark on the body building stage being named Mr Sports Model Australia and gaining his pro card in the process.

Jos Dekker, who moved across the ditch 6 years ago to work in the Western Australian mines, only entered his first physique bodybuilding competition just a few weeks ago in

September – a qualifier for the National Amateur Bodybuilders Association & World Fitness Federation (Nabba/WFF) Nationals.

“To have come away with such a dream result at my first competition was quite surreal, I was to say the least, shocked, but on cloud 9 at the same time.

The hard work paid off,” said Jos. At the qualifier he won each division he entered and went on to win the overall title for the men’s

physique division, and qualified to compete at the national competition held on October 8.

At the nationals in Melbourne, the Cambridge muscle-man won first place, earning him the title of Mr Sports Model Australia as well as his pro card. This enabled him to step out of the amateur realm and into the professional division, and he now plans to compete for the title of Mr Universe in Singapore in June 2018.

“To find out I had won the title of 2017 WFF Mr Australia Sports Model was out of this world, the fake smile you put on while you’re on stage turned into something I couldn’t wipe off my face, it was also quite emotional,” said Jos, “I had 20 weeks earlier decided to do my first ever competition and here I was taking out the top Australian title for WFF Male Sports Model.”

After making it through the first competition in September, Jos discussed it with his wife Kate and they decided to fly to Melbourne for the National Champs. “This meant four more weeks of dieting and grumpiness,” laughed Jos. “I’m surprised I’m still married!”

He competed in the Male Sports Model over 30s division at the national champs, and was a little nervous going up against such strong competition.

“I had already achieved much more than I thought possible, I told myself and other competitors, that no matter what, we were all winners for getting ourselves in such top

condition to be able to step up on that stage.”

Jos said heading into the international round in June, he didn’t plan on going into the competition lightly, but wanted to take time to rest and plan the best option.

“This has been such an amazing experience and has done wonders for my self-confidence and motivation. Juggling work, study, gym and dieting is not easy. I owe so much to my wife and rock for all the support she has given me.”

FRIDAY OCTOBER 27, 2017

Good day for 60s Up Submitted by 60s Up Cambridge We had a beautiful spring day to set off on a full bus to Te Kuiti to visit the statue of the late Sir Collin Meads, which was very impressive and lifelike. We also visited the Gallagher Meads Brothers Exhibition, which was very well put-together and interesting. The exhibition tells the story of the late Sir Colin and his All Black

Duck parking only

brother Stan Meads. This personal collection of memorabilia and history is on loan from the Meads family and is a rare glimpse into the brothers’ rugby careers and lives.

We then walked to the Waitomo club for a buffet lunch and then back on the coach for the trip home. It was a very enjoyable day out, and the weather was kind to us whilst we were wandering around.

Thumbs Up Thumbs Down Thumbs down to the driver of the white car who flipped out on Victoria Street and got road rage at a black car, beeping and terrorizing the occupants as they were driving down the road. Doesn’t matter what the black car did, you just need to calm down.

Rebus Club Cambridge October meeting – supplied by Pam Hay from Rebus Our President Gary Ward made two presentations in appreciation to members who have recently resigned from helping out at our meetings.

They were the Pauline and George Angus for manning the door each morning of our meetings.

Also, deep appreciation was expressed to Val Buckleton for her sterling work as Almoner - all have served over many years.

Our first speaker was club member Jan Bilton, a food writer. Her talk

began with how she came to develop her career and at the end of the meeting had some recipe books for sale. She kindly donated $5.00 from each sale to our club funds.

The main speaker of the day was Alan Peart D F C, who, with the aid of several short videos, gave a most exciting talk on his life as a Spitfire pilot in WW2. Goodness what intrepid young men they were and here was a 95-year-old able to enthral us with his memories.

Of 33 members of his Squadron only 8 survived the dreadful battles they fought to keep us safe.

Thumbs up to the lovely girls at Cambridge Vets who were so wonderful and caring when my dog Sam had to be put down a few days ago.

Parking in general might be a problem in Cambridge, but judging by this photo sent in by Jocelyn Cooney earlier this week, there was plenty of space in Dick Street for these two ducks. You’d think there’d be enough water around right now for safer choices, but this puddle clearly had something particularly appealing about it.

Cambridge Men’s Rebus Club Supplied Our club has recently been to Morrinsville where we visited Topnotch Macadamia Orchard, where we were given a description of the nut harvesting, and processing,

before a guided tour of the orchard and its machinery, to separate the nut from its shell.

They use backpackers as a source of seasonal staff. After lunch, guided by a lady from the Morrinsville iSite,

we had a tour of the Herd of Cows. She gave a description of each cow, and its name and sponsor. They are all life size (except a giant one), and topically painted to match their name or sponsor.

Thumbs up to the kids at Cambridge Primary who always wave and smile when I’m stopped at the crossing outside the school – they make my day!

Thumbs up to people who feed ducks at the lake grains and lettuce instead of bread – bread is really bad for them.

FRIDAY OCTOBER 27, 2017

Nick Ross ready for season Cambridge V8 driver, Nick Ross, will mark a milestone in his racing career as he lines up for his 15th season in the BNT V8s which kicks off at Pukekohe, November 3-5.

With a championship title to his name in the 2013/14 season, 42-year old Ross finds himself the longest competing current driver in the championship.

“It’s hard to believe that I’ll be lining up for my 15th season in the championship! I never thought that all these years later I’d still be here.

I’ve been very lucky that over the years we’ve had some fantastic sponsors, and while we still have those we’ll still keep lining up on the start line,” says Ross.

Ross says he thrives on the element of

competition against his fellow competitors and it’s winning races that keeps him motivated.

“It’s the thrill of close racing, and my ongoing passion to race cars and of course those race wins that keeps me motivated to compete every season.”

The off season has seen his Concept Motorsports team meticulously go over his Total Lubricants Nissan Altima to improve some of the reliability issues that troubled the car last season.

“We did have a few reliability issues last season which was frustrating, because when the car was running well we were making steady progress on track and getting some good results.”

Finishing sixth overall last season, Ross says finishing every race will

be key to claiming an elusive second title.

“For me, and I guess everyone else it’ll all be about limiting the mistakes. Finishing races and being on the podium will be key to a good championship result.”

“The opening round at Pukekohe is the biggest event of the year, it’s a tricky circuit, so doing well there and keeping off the walls will be crucial to setting up the rest of your season.”

Nick Ross, the TOTAL Lubricants Nissan Altima and Concept Motorsport will again be supported this season by TOTAL Lubricants, Jim Wright Nissan, RYCO 24•7, C&R Developments, Team Wino, Auto Trail Ltd, 82C, NZ Safety Gear and Tyre Traders.

Nick Ross will line up on the BNT V8s grid for his 15th season.

First North Island title for racer

A young kart racer from Cambridge raced his way to a first place finish at the North Island Sprint Kart Championships on the weekend.

Ryan Hancock took home his first North Island title after winning the Vortex Mini ROK class at the Championships held at the Kartsport track in Tamahere.

Over 110 competitors raced across eight classes at the North Island meet held Saturday and Sunday.

12-year-old Ryan has been racing karts since the early age of 6 years old, and has since competed at many different tracks around the country. The Cambridge Middle School student said he wished to thank his local sponsors for Ryan Hancock on his way to a win at the North Island Sprint Kart Championships their ongoing support.

FRIDAY OCTOBER 27, 2017

The power of two in Hamilton A beautiful collaboration of largescale orchestral and choral music is coming to Hamilton with The Power of Two – for the first time since the closure of Founders Theatre in February 2016. Trust Waikato Symphony Orchestra (TWSO) and Cantando Choir are delighted to be delivering the spine-tingling sensation of over eighty voices and full symphony orchestra to audiences in Hamilton once again.

The first half of the programme features TWSO with a performance of Bizet’s

L’Arlesienne Suite #2, a cornerstone of the French Romantic orchestral repertoire. The work has stood the test of time with audiences, and as testimony to its popularity, themes from the suite have been dynamically utilized in everything from television programmes to jazz arrangements and video games.

The second half of The Power of Two presents Part 1 of Mendelssohn’s hugely popular Elijah.

Very much the Messiah of its day, two thousand people attended the premiere performance

of Elijah. The stunning line-up of vocal soloists includes Elaine Wogan (soprano), Sarah Court (alto), Koli Jayatunge (tenor) and Jarvis Dams (bass). This vibrant and successful group of singers bring a huge amount of talent and experience to the stage.

Joining the vocal soloists is young Hamilton treble, Matthew Colvin. Matthew, 9, is in Year 5 at Hukanui Primary School. He recently sat his Grade 3 clarinet exam, learns the piano and studies singing with Hannah Bryant.

This will be the first time

Matthew is performing alongside professional soloists and he is really looking forward to the experience.

The Power of Two, under Artistic Director and conductor Rupert D’Cruze, has a single performance only, on Saturday 11 November, 7.30 pm, at ACTivate Church, Bisley Road.

Ticketing information can be found at www. orchestras.org.nz, and door sales will be available. For more information, contact info@cantando.org.nz.

Gold for Cambridge EXPERTS Olympians!

TICKET GIVEAWAY

Cambridge News has a double pass to give away – Just email your full name and phone number, with the subject line “The Power of Two”, to: sophie@cambridgenews.nz

Expect the unexpected and then expect the expected and then the unexpected again and again. It’s a ‘Groundhog Terror Day’.

Surprisingly good, a fantastic horror, thriller, mystery hit. Every second of this movie is non-stop and fantastic.

The acting in the movie was on point from start to end. It’s very unique, but while being such is also one of the best terror films ever - it just gets better and better.

Starts off great introducing the story and then BANG a killer comes along and starts the story.

This movie contains heaps of jump scares.

Other good things were all the tense moments that will make you want to watch and not miss anything and the twists at the end made it even better.

Ideal for Halloween. Make a date to see it.

The best NZ drama in years. A powerful film, stunningly told. Heart wrenching and challenging.

A film Kiwis should be proud of.

“A remarkable five-star Kiwi drama.” Sarah Watt.

“This Kiwi drama might just be the best movie of 2017 - it is compelling, often surprisingly funny, indelibly moving and occasionally jaw-droppingly brilliant. But more than that,Waru is a triumph of writing, storytelling, performance and direction - it is beautiful, bold, gorgeously well-made.This film is wonderful.”

Dominion Post.

“Very impressive – needs to be seen.” Allan.

“All New Zealanders should see it.” NZ Herald.

Our patrons responses are incredibly supportive and they find it so affecting.
