Local midwives march for change By Claire Castle
Two Cambridge midwives joined a protest of around 500 in Wellington recently, marching on Parliament to urge politicians to improve their pay and conditions. Jenny Baty-Myles and Yvonne Szabo donned purple garb and hoisted their banner, marching along to the rallying song of “We’re not gonna to take it” by Twisted Sister at the march on May 3. The midwives and their supporters took a book of desperate stories from the front lines of midwifery and a petition demanding urgent improvements to lead maternity carer (LMC) midwives’ pay and conditions to Minister of Health David Clark. The campaign, entitled Dear David, was started by a remote rural midwife after her accountant told her she was barely meeting her business costs. A petition organised by a consumer and signed by 13,000 people in just one month was also presented at the march, which was held two days before International Midwives’ Day. At the heart of the issue is the grim economic reality of being an LMC or community midwife, which earns them $12 - $13 per hour in urban areas and just $7 - $8 per hour in rural areas once business costs have been deducted. Cambridge sits somewhere in the middle, classified as semi-rural. “Some days we can do between 250 –
300kms (driving) when they (mums) are early postnatal,” Jenny explained. All which has to be paid for out of the four payment modules the midwives receive. The first payment does not come until the woman has reached 28 weeks of pregnancy, and midwives may have already seen them up to six times before that. This is particularly hard on new graduate midwives, Jenny said, because they have to somehow survive for 28 weeks (more than six months), without any income. And the workload associated with the model is seeing burnt out midwives leaving the profession in droves. It’s not uncommon for midwives to put in up to 80 hours a week, on call 24 hours a day (for which there is no funding), Yvonne explained, so it’s hardly surprising many of them have had enough. Jenny said that in Waikato last year, between 30 and 40 lead maternity providers (LMCs) have left the profession, making finding a midwife an increasingly difficult task for expectant parents. It’s a nationwide problem that is only getting worse, as the remaining LMCs buckle under the strain. With around 55,000 – 60,000 births a year but just 1100 LMCs in the country and dropping, the current funding model is not sustainable, Jenny and Yvonne said.

Cambridge newsroom update It’s been all go in the swivelly chair this week, with plenty of news and sport to keep us busy. As you will have seen on the front page, I spoke with a couple of our local midwives who went to Wellington to march on Parliament for change. I came away wondering why in the world anyone would want to be a community midwife. There’s a lot of pressure – it can be life-or-death – the pay is woeful and to top it all off you are on call 24/7, so you can’t even have a few wines to take the edge off at the first two issues. They are heroes, and I hope that the budget on May 17 will give them some relief. Next Friday is Pink Shirt Day, throwing the spotlight on bullying in New Zealand. Workplace bullying is an epidemic in New Zealand – only Austria is worse than us – and most people I know have been affected by it to one degree or another. I was once subjected to workplace bullying from someone well-known for bullying by management, hot on the heels of doing it to someone else. It still mystifies me why she was never dealt with, but I guess that’s the crux of the problem. It’s too hard, and staff either put up with it or leave, with those left behind too scared to stick their neck out and complain. So, it continues. I only hope that campaigns such as Pink Shirt Day will help bring this problem into the open, because we can’t fix what we don’t acknowledge. The toll it is taking on Kiwis is way too high, and it needs to stop. Claire Castle, editor
Local midwives march for change Continued from page 1
Fielding phone calls from increasingly desperate women is hard, Yvonne said, and often emotional. “When you’re turning women away, you get women crying who have rung numerous midwives and no one can take them.” There may be a light at the end of the tunnel in the form of the Budget, and Jenny said that many midwives throughout the country will be watching the document’s release on Costs of being a midwife: • Vehicle costs – petrol and maintenance • Rent for premises • Annual practicing certificate: $445 • Telecommunications • Maternity software (required by Ministry of Health but funded by midwives): $1500/year • Emergency skills day: $125 • Standards review every 2-3 years: $500 • Annual compulsory and elective education • Admin/accountancy costs of running a business • ACC and Taxes • Midwifery consumables
May 17 before deciding their next move. While David Clark has said there will be “some” money for midwives in the Budget, Jenny says it may be too little too late for many LMCs. If there is not a meaningful improvement in pay and conditions for LMCs, communities such as Cambridge could be affected. And nobody wants that, least of all these midwives who are passionate about their work. Once these costs have been deducted, rural midwives average an income of between $7-$8, while their urban counterparts are bringing in around $12-$13 an hour. The adult minimum wage in New Zealand is $16.50 before tax. To become a midwife, you need to complete a Bachelor of Midwifery – a fouryear equivalent degree programme combining theory and practice (2500 clinical hrs) that is completed over three years. Midwives are highly trained health professionals with increasing levels of responsibility expected of them and no extra funding.
Tivoli celebrates NZSL week Cambridge’s Tivoli Cinema is showing a short film tomorrow and next Tuesday, for free, in honour of New Zealand Sign Language Week. Cinema co-owner Karen Focas said the Tivoli will be running the only Waikato screenings of the film, Silent Child, about a profoundly deaf four-year-old girl living in rural England. The girl, Libby, has her life transformed by the gift of sign language thanks to social worker Joanne, making it the ideal film to mark sign language week. “It’s a lovely film for anybody…it shows the strength of sign language and how it can help children in particular,” Karen said. NZSL week has been running since Monday, finishing on Sunday, May 13. Silent Child won an Academy Award for the best Live Action Short Film at this year’s Oscars. The 20-minute film will screen at 3.45 tomorrow (May 12) and at 3.50pm on Tuesday (May 15). Admission is free, phone 823 5064 to book your ticket.

FRIDAY MAY 11, 2018
Spotlight on workplace bullying Quickfire News Next Friday is Pink Shirt Day, designed to stop bullying and spread kindness across all areas of New Zealand society, including the workplace. Claire Castle caught up with Cambridge resident Allan Halse, a man at the forefront of the fight against workplace bullying, to talk about our hidden epidemic.
Having spent the last four and a half years at the coalface of the fight against workplace bullying, Culturesafe NZ director Allan Halse has finally received an invitation Wellington to discuss the nationwide epidemic with government officials. According to the letter received last week, representatives from the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE), Worksafe and the Employment Relations Authority (ERA) are keen to meet with him “to discuss the management of bullying cases and especially the progress of such cases within employment institutions”. A 2016 study put New Zealand second in the world for workplace bullying, with a survey showing one in five workers are affected. Allan reckons there are around two million people in the workforce, so that works out to be roughly 400,000 Kiwis being bullied at work. It’s a staggering and shameful number. As director of Culturesafe New Zealand, the only company in the country solely devoted to helping victims of workplace bullying, Allan has been in the headlines recently, speaking out after the suicide of a Housing New Zealand worker following prolonged Continued on page 5
Police were called, and an elderly man was trespassed from Cambridge Middle School on Monday, after he approached three female students at the edge of the school grounds on Grey St. The man was asking the girls inappropriate questions and behaving erratically. A duty teacher stepped in, questioning the man and sending the girls away from the area. The police were called, patrolling the school during the lunch hour. They subsequently found and spoke with the man involved about his inappropriate actions and trespassed him from the site.
Plastic bags on the way out
Ten Countdown stores will go plastic bag-free on May 21, but the Cambridge store is not on this list. Countdown has announced they will phase out single-use plastic carrier bags in all their stores by the end of this year, removing an estimated 350 million plastic bags from circulation each year. Countdown customers have already reduced their use of plastic bags by just over 16 per cent since the policy to phase them out was signalled last year. The supermarket is currently looking at ways of reducing plastic bag use for online shoppers but advise that in the meantime shoppers can request a box for their groceries if they wish. An armed incident that shut down a Cambridge street has been resolved. Cambridge resident Allan Halse has been invited to Wellington to speak with government officials about how workplace bullying is handled in this country.
Workplace bullying – a local story Cambridge woman Angela* was the victim of workplace bullying, and it has had a profound impact on her mental and physical health, nearly bankrupting her in the process. Angela had been working for a multi-national company for just a month when the bullying started, getting so bad over the following 18 months that she seriously considered suicide as her only way out. A consummate professional, Angela said the experience shook her to the core. “I pride myself on my professionalism, it’s an integral part of my personality…I didn’t know how to cope with that.” And it came out of the blue. “It absolutely blindsided me…I didn’t understand why it was happening,” she said. Continually undermined both privately and in front of her peers and given warnings about her performance that were thrown out each time she challenged them, the bullying was relentless and isolated her from her workmates and had her questioning her sanity at times. She began to shut down. As Angela isolated herself from friends and family and retreated into her shell,
Man banned from school
her mother began phoning her several times a day and coming over in the morning to make sure she was still alive. Normally fastidious around the house, Angela became unable to do even basic housework due to the trauma associated with her treatment at work. When it was particularly bad, her mum had to sleep over to make sure she wouldn’t hurt herself. And it was bad a lot. Despite the fact she knew she had done nothing wrong, a view backed up by mediators and lawyers, it took a huge personal toll on her having to go back to the workplace day in and day out, while the relentless bullying continued. “It destroys your soul and affects every aspect of your life,” she explained. By the end, after almost two years, she was made redundant. Her bully had made sure her reputation in the industry was in tatters, however, and it took her almost a year to find another job. Massive financial pressure from the legal bills associated with fighting for her job, followed by unemployment, pushed her to the brink of bankruptcy and
much of Angela’s current income is going toward paying back debts she racked up trying to keep afloat. Formerly an ambitious and loyal worker, Angela no longer aspires to work towards a management role, wanting instead to have a role where you “just go and do your job and come home”. “I don’t know that I will ever get over it,” she said, sadly. *Name has been changed to protect her from any repercussions from speaking out.
Armed callout has peaceful end
Armed police descended on a Fencourt Rd home at around 3pm on Monday, following reports of an incident involving a firearm. Cordons were put in place and traffic was stopped as those inside the house, near the corner of Wells Pl, were ordered to come outside where they were taken into custody. It is understood that no shots were fired in the incident and there were no reports of injuries. Photo: Facebook

Vehicle checks may save lives By Claire Castle
Worn tyres have been linked to 32 fatal road crashes over the past three years, and the Motor Trade Association (MTA) has said that vehicle safety should be addressed as part of the draft Government Policy Statement on Land Transport. Morgan and Jayne Verhoeven – owners of Automotive Solutions Cambridge, 4WD Solutions and Tyre & Wheel Solutions – agree, saying the situation has worsened since the warrant of fitness (WOF) rules were changed in 2014. The new annual
requirement for a warrant has given motorists a “false sense of security”, according to Jayne. “Our biggest worry is the young ones, who will have enough tread to pass a warrant but there won’t be enough tread on there for a year,” she explained. They don’t even think about their vehicle’s roadworthiness until it’s time for another WOF, by which time their tyres may be dangerously bald, separating or have steel belts exposed. Figures from the MTA back up the Verhoevens’ concerns, showing that worn tyres have been linked to a growing number of crashes since the warrant of fitness
system was changed in 2014 (up from 107 crashes in 2014 to 166 in 2017). For as little as $25, drivers can get a safety check done on their car, which not only could save their life but may also prevent the need for more costly repairs down the track. And most automotive businesses in Cambridge offer the service, Jayne added. Morgan said that what was intended to be a cost saving initiative for motorists, extending warrants out from sixmonthly to yearly, has actually ended up costing them more. “We are doing more repairs because of the domino effect of problems
not being picked up earlier,” he explained. Jayne agreed, giving the example of a brake pad that may be worn and not picked up until serious damage has been done to the vehicle. The MTA is now calling for a change to the rules around tyre tread depth, changing it to 3mm of depth, rather than wait until the minimum allowable depth of 1.5mm. Tyres with 1.5mm depth will most likely not last a whole year between warrants, so by changing the rules it could mean a reduction in worn tyrerelated crashes. The Verhoevens are joining the MTA in encouraging all drivers
Spotlight on workplace bullying Continued from page 3 and unaddressed bullying by a senior manager. It was a tragic outcome, but one that came as no surprise to Allan, who estimates that of the 100 or so clients on Culturesafe’s books at the moment, around 40 have had suicidal thoughts. Between December 1, 2017 and the end of January this year alone, eight people who had attempted suicide as a result of workplace bullying were referred to Culturesafe by health professionals. “There are thousands of people entering the mental health system because of New Zealand’s bullying culture, and that’s really frightening.” “Some industries are worse for bullying than others,” Allan said, adding that the government is particularly bad for it. “Private enterprise would go broke settling (paying out victims) and damage to reputation, but the government doesn’t have to worry about that,” he explained. “Not one politician has said they will come out and reassure the public that Worksafe will do something…how can it get better if the government can’t even hold their own senior government officials to account?” Allan asked, referring back to the Housing New Zealand case. Unfortunately, Allan and his small team at Culturesafe are just getting busier, with Allan clocking up 100 hours a week with a caseload of between 80 and 90 at any given time. It’s not sustainable, but Allan is a man on a mission, undeterred by the weekly threats of defamation he receives from the employers he names and shames on social media. He has the defence of truth on his side,
and absolutely no fear of bullies wherever they may be. “They can put me in jail, I don’t care because the whole thing is wrong,” Allan said.
What is workplace bullying? Direct bullying includes: • belittling comments, ridiculing, public humiliation • physical attacks • unwanted sexual advances • intimidation, including verbal abuse • theft or destruction of property • persistent criticism • intrusion on privacy, such a being spied on or stalked Indirect bullying includes: • consistently being given unreasonable tasks • being given tasks that undermine a person’s ability • withholding or concealing information • lack of credit for work done or credit being stolen • exclusion or isolation • hints or threats relating to job security • unjustified disciplinary hearings • reduction of opportunities for expression such as constantly being talked over or interrupted
to check their cars every six months to make sure the brakes, tyres, lights, suspension and steering are all in top shape – particularly
with the onset of winter. Last year, over half a million vehicles failed their warrant of fitness because their tyres were in poor condition.
Morgan and Jayne Verhoeven are urging drivers to get a safety check done on their cars by their current service provider before winter sets in.
Sunday is Mothers’ Day
Workplace bullying can occur in a variety of ways, including via email, social media, text messages or phone calls. In some instances, workplace bullying will not take place inside normal working hours and may be directed at a single worker or a group of workers.

Positive news for local family By Viv Posselt
Memories of being burned by a hot water bottle, which burst after being filled with boiling water, will likely never fade for 10-year-old Leamington schoolgirl Anna Crouchman. But almost a year on from the incident, she and her family are ready to do more than just thank those who have supported her recovery. They have decided to hold a sausage sizzle at Leamington School next week to raise funds for the Burn Support Group Charitable Trust. The fundraiser will also provide an opportunity for the Crouchmans to distribute awareness information on burns from the Trust. Anna and her family’s desire to ‘give something back’ stems from the deep gratitude they share for all the support and help Anna has received - and continues to receive - since the incident last winter. “The Trust has done so much for us over the past year – their support has meant absolutely everything to us,” said Anna’s mum, Tracey Crouchman. “We decided the time was right for us to give back, to do something that will enable them to continue their support of other child and adult burn victims. They rely
very heavily on fundraising … Tracey is one of four New their families, supporters and we felt this was one way we Zealanders selected to attend health professionals,” said could offer practical help.” the 2018 Phoenix World Burn Tracey. “I heard about it and Anna was just nine when a Congress, to be held in Grand put in an application, almost at hot water bottle in her bed burst, Rapids, Michigan in the United the last minute and never really burning her legs and requiring States from September 12 to 15. expecting anything to come five nights in hospital. Her “It is incredibly exciting of it. But I have become very recovery has been ongoing since news. There will be hundreds of passionate about doing more then, calling on her to moisturise people there … burns survivors, to help burns survivors in any and wear pressure stockings around the clock. There has also been an emotional impact, but the determined little girl has dug deep to ensure the incident doesn’t stop her from indulging her love of dance, music and acting. She has already amassed quite an impressive acting resume, and soon after being burned, Anna insisted on fulfilling her role as lead in the school production, Cinderella Rockerfella. She says that one of the highlights of her own survival story was being able to join other burns survivors at the Trust’s annual camp, held in Turangi earlier this year. “It was so cool … we did heaps of stuff and I made lots of friends,” she said, rattling off spirited tales of rafting, minigolf, a 4D cinema experience and a day on a boat. News received in the Crouchman household last week suggests there may be more positivity in the offing. Anna Crouchman with her mum Tracey, dad David and brother Max.

Cambridge Community Board update Huge response By Mike Pettit, Chairman
Anzac Day ceremonies were again well-attended by the public. The committee will be doing its best to retain a firing party at future ceremonies, despite the NZ Defence Force retracting this as an official option. We acknowledged through a Cambridge Community Service Award Sergeant Merv Balloch, of Delta Company 6th Battalion (Hauraki) for his organisation and participation over the past 15 years to ensure Cambridge has had a firing party at Anzac Day services. Through this award we also recognised and acknowledge those that have contributed to the firing party from the 6th Battalion (Hauraki). Regarding improving the water quality of Lake Te Koo Utu, the board engaged with Pacific Driveline Ltd who gave a presentation based around nanobubble technology. Nanobubbles are so small they actually sink and are carried by currents. This in turns improves the quality of water throughout all layers of the lake. We have presented this as an option to be investigated by council in its 10 Year Plan. On the surface, this appears a very cost-effective option, if viable for the lake and
possibly others in the district. A thorough report around the Safe Ways to School Project was presented. This project was jointly funded by schools, council and the CCB. The data by way of feedback from parents from five schools and students from Cambridge Middle School included 1370 returned surveys and 3774 comments. Interestingly, 87 per cent of children and 67 per cent of parents want children to bike or walk to school, however only 27 per cent of children currently do. We are urging council to use the information gathered to create and implement a safe cycling strategy over the coming 10 years. Among other benefits this will lead to a healthier community, less parking congestion and pressure on our two bridges. Thank you to all those who contributed, and we acknowledge Kellie Ellis and Aiden Boswell, who initiated and conducted the study. Rural tours are coming up with Maungatautari side of the district on Saturday, May 19 and Fencourt side Saturday, June 9. Please come out and have your say. The CCB have become members of Keep NZ Beautiful and with the support of Destination Cambridge will enter the Most Beautiful

Fancy joining a marching club? By Viv Posselt
A group of local women are keen to see what support there might be in Cambridge for the establishment of a leisure marching group for women. Marching, say De-ane Busby and Bev Maguren, provides a great social outlet for women and offers a fun way to stay fit, so the pair would like to gauge local support for a group in Cambridge. To get it off the ground, they would need
at least 10 women, aged 30 upwards, to express interest. Together with Bev’s sister, Yvonne Hewitt, the trio have an impressive stock of experience. “Bev and I met at a marching competition way back, when we were about seven or eight,” said De-ane, who is president of the Cambridge Altrusa Club. De-ane, Bev and Yvonne reminisced last week about team names such as the
Sunbeams, and the Silver Arrows, and remember the strictness of most leaders along with abiding friendships made through national competitions. Bev and Yvonne went on to become members of the Lochiel Marching Team, the best in the country for years and one which has long been represented at the annual Edinburgh Military Tattoo. Marching took a back seat for all three when they married and raised families, but they all have cherished memorabilia that reflects their success. “Now we want to put out feelers to see if anyone around here would like to
start a local group,” said De-ane. “We intend to feature leisure marching and keep it non-competitive.” The trio know of women in their 80s enjoying marching and said anyone of normal fitness would find it suitable. “As long as they can walk, keep time to the music and are happy to do something as part of a team – they will be fine,” said De-ane. The women are waiting to gauge interest before they nut out the details. Anyone keen to join should phone Deane Busby (827 8656/ 027 3381 1245) or Bev Maguren (827 3300/ 027 6900 764).
Parents Centre welcomes extra help

Members of the Cambridge Parents Centre were delighted to welcome a team from a Te Awamutu business after winning the organisation’s annual “Community Day” competition. Usually a virtual assistant service for small businesses, once a year The Good P.A. team gets out and about to donate their time to a local organisation. The Cambridge Parents Centre (CPC) were the lucky “chosen ones” this year, hosting the team at their rooms in the Cambridge Health and Community Centre on April 24. “The extra help enabled us to organise, tidy and update the rooms and will ensure the numerous families, babies and children who use them each
year have a lovely environment to learn and interact in,” said Jo Vipond, CPC co-president. “It has also helped reduce our committee of volunteers’ to-do list, so we have more time to devote to providing and expanding the range of classes and support we provide for local families.” CPC is a volunteer run, not-for-profit organisation that works with parents to equip them with the best knowledge, skills and support in parenting, with free childbirth education and antenatal classes for all local families, plus subsidised parenting classes for new parents.

Over 50?
Downsize your old house, free up your money and live a larger life. This week at Cambridge Oaks Freedom Lifestyle Village (95 Swayne Rd), our new Terrace Apartments were opened for viewing and they have received dozens of visits from pre-retirees and retirees who are looking to rightsize into apartment accommodation. Construction and landscaping were completed on the first row of single-storey apartments, and both styles of apartment (interior and exterior) are now available to view – you can apply for yours now, priced from $249,000. More houses in all sizes from the 1-bedroom Devon duplex to the 3-bedroom double-garage luxury Hampton villa have also been completed, ready for more of the first residents who are moving in this month. Cambridge Oaks has been widely recognised as a refreshing alternative to traditional retirement villages, as it provides lifestyle living for active over 50’s. It also has a strong impact in easing the housing shortage in the area by downsizing homes for over-

50s singles and couples while freeing up stock for young larger families. The Village is the second 0ver-50s lifestyle community developed by Freedom Lifestyle Villages, after the first at Papamoa Sands, comprising 179 houses, sold through in under three years. Stage 2 of the Cambridge Oaks development is now almost sold out. The completed Village will comprise 205 homes, a luxurious Village Centre, and sought-after facilities for motorhome owners at ‘The Stables’ including parking, washdown areas, storage and recreation sheds. The location brings additional convenience in its situation immediately adjacent to a commercial development including proposed café/bistro and 7-day superette. Cambridge Oaks has also proved to be very affordable for Waikato people – while not compromising on house design and functionality, or quality standards. Affordable prices help young-atheart over-50s to ‘downsize’ their existing house and free up their money, then to ‘upsize’ their lifestyle and opportunities. The Village will cater for residents who can live independently in a community of like-minded individuals, without daily in-home support/medical care. But it provides the full legal and financial protections of a Retirement Village under the Retirement Villages Act (2003). But an important distinction between the Freedom Lifestyle Villages model and the traditional retirement village model in New Zealand, is that residents are able to share in any capital gains on their home if it comes time to sell. People who have resided at Papamoa Sands for three years have already enjoyed significant gains on their new houses. Work is being finalised at Cambridge Oaks in May on the new gated entranceway from Swayne Road. Further news will follow on the reception of

Cambridge Oaks show homes are open for inspection from 10am to 4pm on weekdays and 11am to 3pm on weekends, with lifestyle consultants available to guide visitors through the different options and respond to questions about lifestyle living for over-50s, downsizing and specific benefits of the Freedom model.

Huge opportunity for Cambridge driver By Sophie Iremonger
When renowned rally driver Hayden Padden produced a clear win at the second round of the New Zealand Rally Championship in Whangarei over the weekend, he did so with a Cambridge man by his side, co-driver Malcolm Peden. “It was a very cool experience, second to none,” Peden said on Monday, after the team finished 7 minutes and 26.3 seconds ahead of their nearest rival, Auckland’s Ben
Hunt and Tony Rawstorn. “It’s just an unbelievable result, to be able to be that much faster,” said Peden. “On one of the stages we were so much faster Hayden asked, ‘are you sure the time’s right?’. “It’s not every day that you get the opportunity to go from national New Zealand level to and co-driving with the level of a world rally championship driver… It’s mind-blowing how much faster it is.” Peden has spent most of the last ten years co-driving in the national

championship, spending the last two years managing the team that won last year’s round, Force Motorsport with Auckland driver Andrew Hawkeswood. Peden “jumped at the opportunity” when the 2011 world champion selected him for the role, having received hundreds of applications from around the world. The pair have known each other for a number of years, and Paddon wanted to give the opportunity to a New Zealand-based co-driver after his usual man John Kennard recently had hip surgery, and his world championship co-driver Seb Marshall also wasn’t available. “I have done a couple of rallies overseas before, but never at the level that he competes at,” Peden said. “He just goes so much faster through the corners… the level of detail in his notes is just way above anything else in NZ, and a lot of the drivers in the world championships. So it’s a big step up really, and the speed, it’s just very, very fast.” Peden had the all-important role of being Paddon’s extra set of eyes and ears over more than ten hours of racing, preparing him with precise details of each coming corner and curve of the race – quite a challenge while travelling at 190kmph, driving over gravel and sometimes slippery surfaces. “It’s trying to read as fast as you can to get it to him, so that we don’t go off the road basically,” Peden said.
The 29 cars raced through a few showers over the weekend, but the worst of the weather saw heavy fog set in on Saturday morning, claiming one driving team that had to drop out after crashing into a ditch. During that first stage was the winning pair’s closest call, when they thought a corner was further away than it actually was. “Hayden thought he saw the corner further up, and it wasn’t until we were actually in the corner that he realised we were in it, so that was a bit of a moment for us! But he’s got the skill to gather it up and get it around the corner.” The wet-ish weather meant Paddon didn’t have the grip he’d hoped for to beat his own stage records at the event, but the seven-minute lead was enough for Peden. During the final round on Sunday, Paddon’s Hyundai i20 managed to lift all four wheels off the ground, jumping at about 185kmph as a corner neared them just 150 metres away. “He sets the car up so that he actually unbalances it, or throws the car sideways before the corner, to drive around it. So it’s a very aggressive style, but it clearly works for him,” said Peden. “I wasn’t worried at any stage during the rally, because that’s what he does for a job.” Peden will now return to co-driving with the Campbell motorsport team, set to compete in round 3 of the national rally championship in early June.

Samuel Wilde achieved second place in the C grade, and first place in the Open division for his combined achievements across the B, C and D grades – a 20 shot card.

What is something that has surprised you about New Zealand, that you hadn’t expected before you took up the position? Apart from its magical outdoors, I have been very impressed by the warm-heartedness and goodwill of the people here. The transparency and efficiency that marks the delivery of services here has also been a learning experience for me.
Jill Morgan: On the leading edge of women’s sport By Sophie Iremonger
A Cambridge woman is paving the way in more than one sport on the international stage, having made it onto the inaugural New Zealand women’s senior golf team. Jill Morgan will be one of four Kiwis competing in the 2018 Women’s Seniors TransTasman Cup in October, the first fixture of its kind, following on from an emphatic win with the Waikato team at the New Zealand Women’s Masters’ golf
tournament last month. “There’s something special about representing your country, and in another sport, I didn’t think that I’d ever – I mean, doing it in one sport is exciting enough!” Jill said. “I’m really excited about it. And the fact that its’ an inaugural team too is really special.” It’s the second time Jill has represented the country in a firstever national women’s team. Back when women’s hockey was added to the Olympic line-up, Jill made it onto the first New Zealand team to compete at the Olympic
Is there something that you’ve seen or experienced that you’d love for Indians to do in New Zealand? We take great pride in the accomplishments of the Indian community here. I will like them to strengthen their role as a link between India and New Zealand as well as between the people of our two countries. I will also like to see one or two major Indian events to be celebrated by everyone coming together on a common platform. Besides friends and family, what’s something you miss about home? It is said that you can take an Indian out of India but never India out of an Indian. There are lots of exciting things happening in India which one of course misses being directly a part of. What’s your favorite part of New Zealand to visit and why? New Zealand is uniformly and consistently beautiful. But if I have to name one place, then my favourite is Queenstown. If you could take something back from New Zealand, anything at all, what would it be? Being in New Zealand is an opportunity to learn a lot about civic sense, inclusivity, participative governance and the user friendly nature of public services. We all need to carry these experiences back to India.
Jill Morgan, pictured at the Cambridge golf course, said the local club had been “so welcoming” since moving to town from Te Awamutu last June.

That was in 1984, and now in 2018 she’s made it a doublesuccess competing in the first ever Women’s Seniors’ Trans-Tasman Cup. “Were working together representing New Zealand to take on Australia, and that’s an exciting thing,” said Jill. “I really enjoy the team culture, doing it for each other and having each other’s back.” Jill, who trains regularly at the Cambridge Golf Club, has already got to know the other members of the team at various competitions over the years. They’ll play together at the Australian Women’s Senior Amateur match play champs at Sandy Creek, Adelaide in October, before heading straight into the TransTasman Cup held at the same course October 24 – 26. It will be the first time Jill has ever played in Australia. “I’ll be doing some work on my mental game, so I can handle the pressure of being over there!” she laughed. As the number 1 ranked senior women’s golf player in the Waikato, Jill said the biggest opponent in the game is yourself. “It’s the mental challenge,” she said, when asked why she likes golf. “It’s just the process of being in the moment, absolutely being in the process of every single shot, and not getting ahead of yourself… you’ve just got to concentrate on the swing of your club and being in that moment, and if (the result) is unplanned, it’s unplanned, but you can’t throw your toys.”

Hannon had finished third overall in the 11-12 years’ 85cc class at the New Zealand Junior Motocross Championships near Mosgiel last month
By Andy McGechan
“Simply the best” and “unstoppable” were phrases used by the commentator to describe Cambridge’s Jared Hannon as he blitzed the field on his way to winning the 8-12 years’ 85cc class at the Kawasaki-sponsored annual New Zealand Mini TT Championships near Taupiri at the weekend. One of only a few riders to dominate so comprehensively, the 12-year-old
Quickfire Sports Cambridge Vets’ golf report
Supplied We had a large field of 53 Vet Golfers, playing on well-manicured greens for our New World ‘turkey day’. Graeme Harrison was the standout winner, leading the field home with 45 stableford points, from Bryan Oliver and Russell Johnson, both on 42 points and Brian Cooper and Mick Callender both scoring 41 points. In the ladies’ section, Valerie Smith and Lesley Donovan both scored 32 points, followed by Carolyn Langhorn and Marilyn Harrison both scoring 31 points. David Ogilvy scored a two on ‘Land’s End’, our signature hole, John Hansen on the 13th and Gary Bennett scored one on the 17th hole. Russell Johnson was nearest to the 9th hole for 3 shots off the tee and Mick Callender won the longest putt on the 18th green.
and, with Hannon due to celebrate his 13th birthday before the 2019 junior nationals, next April, Scott and Hannon are set on a collision course for future junior titles. Meanwhile, another Kawasaki rider from Cambridge, former world championship racer Damien King, was similarly dominant in winning his Veterans’ 35-44 years’ class at the weekend. The 42-year-old father-of-two, who raced in Europe between the years 1996 and 2000 – with a career-best Grand Prix finish of fifth overall in Germany in 2000, then racing for a factory support team – was almost unbeatable on Saturday and Sunday. He won all but one of his five
veterans’ class races and was runner-up in the other one, earning the veterans’ title by a massive 26 points over Taupiri rider Andrew Hansen. Also impressive in the distinctive green Kawasaki colour scheme was multi-time former national motocross champion Mike Cotter, the Cambridge man who is now general manager of Kawasaki New Zealand. Despite having raced only once since December last year, the 43-year-old Cotter managed to finish an impressive fourth overall in the MX2 (250cc) class, the title eventually won on Sunday by 17-year-old recent former national champion Hayden Smith, of Massey, a rider 26 years younger than Cotter and about to race internationally.

Reds’ coach plans to finish on high note By Josh Easby
Cambridge head coach Mike Woodlock hopes to end his 10 years with the town’s football club on a high this weekend as the Reds face their biggest match of the season. After coaching at Cambridge Football Club since 2008, Woodlock has decided to “put his feet up” and hand over the coaching role now the Reds are back in football’s Northern League. Saturday will see Woodlock’s last appearance in the coach’s dugout at John Kerkhof Park when Cambridge face Waiheke Island in the national ISPS Chatham Cup, which is football’s oldest cup competition. The club has appointed Paul Richardson as Woodlock’s replacement. “The club’s in good hands,” Woodlock said. “If I’d stepped aside at the end of last year, I wouldn’t have been sure we had the continuity and depth in the coaching group to go forward,” he said. The arrival at the club of Richardson and reserves’ coach Mike Taylor had strengthened the line-up and Woodlock said he was now confident the club would continue its advancement. Richardson joins an experienced coaching team that works with the club’s top three men’s teams. Kim Brierley has been the club’s goalkeeper coach for five seasons and Chrissy Goodin is in her third season as first team manager. The reserves are coached by Taylor, assisted by Nick Sickelmore and team manager Des Beeney. Brierley and Taylor have had considerable experience at Northern League and National League levels, highlighting the depth of coaching support at Cambridge. Richardson has been coaching the club’s WaiBOP Championship side with assistant Steve Thomas. He joined Cambridge this year after three successful seasons at Matamata Swifts, where he took their first
team from the threat of relegation in 2015 to runnersup spot behind the Reds last season. “There’s lots to get our teeth into as a coaching team and I’m looking forward to working closely with the wider coaching group to get a decent platform in place, going forward to make us the players’ club of choice. “I’m also extremely honoured to be given the opportunity to coach at such a fantastic club, rich in history and with a fantastic group of volunteers who work tirelessly to support the players.” Woodlock hopes Saturday’s cup tie, which kicks off at the earlier-than-usual 2.30pm, will help the Reds recover their form after four successive losses in the Lotto NRFL second division. The Waiheke Islanders have built a reputation for becoming one of the best-supported clubs in the country with hundreds of supporters travelling to get behind their team with flags, banners and coloured smoke. It promises to create a fantastic atmosphere at John Kerkhof Park. In last weekend’s matches, the Reds had a disappointing trip to South Auckland where they lost a double header against Franklin United with the first team losing 8-1 and the reserves going down 1-0. Both Cambridge’s Waikato D teams registered home wins. The D1s beat West Hamilton United 5-1 with Cambridge’s goalscorers being Tony Dikmans (2), Paul Blackstock, Harry Bomans and Ben Ward. The D2 side won 4-2 against Te Aroha Cobras. Cambridge’s women’s team got the better of Huntly Thistle in a high-scoring match which saw them win 5-3. Gemma Martin scored the first for Cambridge with a long-range effort. 3.2.1 Leading goalscorerFIGURE Rachel Hill scored two goals in succession for Cambridge after good build-up play. Caitlyn Varcoe produced Cambridge’s fourth goal
giving her side a useful 4-1 lead at half-time. In the second spell, Hill completed her second hat-trick of the season, finding the net with a clever back heel. The Hill Homes Player of the Day was Chrissy Goodin. Meanwhile, more than 450 children began their winter football when the club staged the opening day of the season on Saturday.
WaiBOP wins for top 2
Papamoa FC and Melville United remain the only two unbeaten Loaded WaiBOP Premiership clubs this season after both secured narrow victories during the most recent round of games.

Karapiro swimmer’s success
By Sophie Iremonger
A Karapiro School student has her eyes firmly set on gold, both in next year’s swimming season and on the future world stage, following on from a stellar performance in this year’s interschool, regional and national swimming events. Ten-year-old Olivia Emmett, who has only been swimming competitively for a little over a year, finished up the recent swimming season with a stack of medals and certificates. It all started in February at the National Zonal Junior Swimming Champs in Rotorua, where the then-nine-year-old managed to
qualify for ten-year-olds racing – the youngest category at the event – and finished up with several top ten placings. “It was really hard, and tiring!” Olivia laughed, “But I really enjoyed the races.” The Year 6 student then competed in the Waikato Junior Swimming Champs over March 10 and 11, winning six gold medals and one silver, and beating her PB (personal best) by ten seconds in the 200m individual medley. “That was a hard race,” Olivia said, adding that she was “really proud” of the massive medal haul. Up next was the Cambridge Rural
Let Tiles Make Your Statement
Schools Swimming Sports event held on March 19 – Olivia’s birthday. “It was a good way to celebrate it, swimming,” she said. “It was fun, because I love being in the water constantly.” It meant Olivia became the youngest swimmer in her division, but that didn’t stop her from finishing with top times to make the combined rural schools team, which then competed at the Cambridge Interschool Swimming Sports on March 29 – where she finished first in the 50m breaststroke, 50m backstroke and 50m freestyle. “I was really really proud that I won them, since I’d just turned ten,” said Olivia, who also competed against intermediate-age swimmers in the open age group butterfly, finishing in a close second place. Last year she also took part in the NZ Ocean Swim Series, winning her age group to secure one of 36 places on the national Jetstar Super Swim Squad, which were coached in Auckland by Olympians Andy McMillan, Dean Kent and Stephen Kent, and Paralympians Rebecca Dubber and Nikita Howarth.
“It was actually quite fun, getting coached by Olympians,” said Olivia, who also wanted to thank her regular coach Helen Barr and part-time coach Alison Fitch. “The school has been so supportive too,” added Olivia’s mum Mel. “Obviously we’re really proud with how well she’s doing, but it’s also just seeing her doing something that she loves, her determination, and she literally just loves being in the pool, she just trains hard and has fun.” Olivia trains at the St Peter’s Swimming Club three to four times a week, and in the next swimming season she hopes to collect more gold medals and personal bests, aiming to compete in at least ten races at each event. One day she’d like to represent New Zealand at the Olympics and Commonwealth Games, but for now she just has to pace herself. “I’d like to do some more training when I’m older, because Mum says I’m too young to do more training now,” she said. “I do it because I love being in the water.”

Walker makes semi-finals before World Cup crash
London Olympic medallist Sarah Walker secured two semifinal performances but suffered a crash in the UCI BMX World Cup Supercross event in the Netherlands on Monday. She was able to walk away after crashing off the side of the track, following a strong start to her semifinal on the second day of competition at Papendal. Walker was ninth on the opening day, missing out on a spot in the final by 0.5s in her semifinal. She again worked through to the semifinal on the second day and made an excellent start before being squeezed off the side of the track on the second straight. Rio Olympian Trent Jones was the next best of the Kiwis, making the quarterfinals on both days of competition. Te Awamutu’s Rebecca Petch had made the quarterfinals by day 2 but was edged out on her first World Cup semifinal by one spot. Clubmate Cole McOnie went out in the second round on day one and the round of 16 on day two, while
Hamilton’s Todd Barry missed out on the elimination rounds on both days. The winners were local Dutch riders Nik Kimmann and Laura Smulders on the first day while world champion Alise Willoughby and Frenchman Sylvan Andre prospered on the second day. The next double round is at Zolder in Belgium this weekend.
Four in a row By Candice Gollan
Cambridge-trainer Stephen Marsh has held onto the Listed Waikato Equine Veterinary Centre Stakes (1100m) four years in a row after Santa Catarina was victorious in the event on Saturday at Te Rapa. Marsh’s previous winners are No More Tears, Group One 2000 Guineas winner Ugo Foscolo and the now Australian-trained Ardrossan. “It’s a race we have targeted, and I thought we were in with a right royal chance again,” Marsh said. Santa Catarina and Jockey Danielle Johnson sat mid-field and powered
home down the straight to take the win from Cavallo Veloce. “They went a really good clip and that probably set it up for us,” Johnson said. “I wanted to be in behind the speed and she showed great acceleration.” Santa Catarina won her previous start when talent and determination was enough to beat the odds on the heavily water-logged track at Matamata. “At her last start on a heavy track it was her class that prevailed,” Johnson said. Santa Catarina is owned by Lib Petagna under JML Bloodstock and managed by Bruce Perry.

Kiwi makes history By Candice Gollan
Jonelle Price has made it into the history books early Monday (NZT) after becoming the first New Zealand woman to win the Badminton Horse Trials. The 37-year-old was partnered with her mount, Classic Moet. The pair went into the final showjumping round in the lead, after an almost
perfect cross-country round yesterday. Price and her horse jumped from 22nd place to second after incurring just a 0.4 penalty points, a near perfect score in the cross-country. “She is some horse at cross country,” Price said. “There really is no other like her and to show that time and time again is really special.” Coming into

Badminton, Price and Classic Moet only had one run under their belt and she was concerned that they would not be prepared enough for the event. They end up behind the clock after one jump, but they came back quickly to make the time up. “We were 16 seconds down at one stage,” Price said. “She is some mare and comes into her own a day like that.” “I owe it all to her.” Last year’s winners, New Zealander Andrew Nicholson and Nereo, had to withdraw from 12th place after the final horse inspection before the last round. Oliver Townend from Britain was second and New Zealand’s Mark Todd was in sixth place.

Submitted by the Cambridge Tramping Club On Sunday, April 29 a group of seven intrepid trampers braved the weather forecast and met as usual at 7.30am. After a short discussion we quickly decided to shelve the proposed tramp at Ngamuwahine. This is the second time we have had to postpone yet again this lovely tramp, as there is a serious stream crossing and the recent weather would have made it impossible to safely cross. Never mind we will have to put that on the programme again – in midsummer! A plan was made to travel to Te Aroha and do the walk from the Domain to Tui Mine. We set off with all our wet weather gear on only to find we could not complete that track due to the usually easy stream crossing being impassable. However, we did complete the side walk to the waterfall
which was a spectacular sight. And as usual wet bush is at its most splendid. Retreated then to a morning tea break at the gazebo near the geyser in the park. From there we decided to go through town on foot, over the traffic bridge and to explore the Community Wetlands development. This, when we finally found the way in, proved to be a delightful option. We spent an hour and half there admiring the autumn colours of the trees, sampling fruit off the many fruit trees and finding black swans and other birdlife on the lakes. Quite happy we retreated to the gazebo again for lunch and with the rain still coming frequently decided to call it a day. We all agreed we had had a most pleasant outing in good company. The next tramp is on the Sunday, May 13 for a Raglan farm walk, led by Nora – phone 0211383305 for info.

BOARDING SCHOOLS
What are the benefits of boarding school?
Many people who opt to send their children to boarding do so for logistical reasons, such as the quality of the local schooling in their area or the proximity of the school to their home. They may wish to eliminate travel times (sometimes many hours a day) and ensure their children get a top-quality education. But there are other reasons for choosing to send your children to boarding school, even where travel is not an issue. Boarding schools offer a variety of benefits to students, including sports academies which can give young people the chance to immerse themselves in the level of training and practice required to reach their potential in their chosen sport. All of this is much easier if the student is living on site, as training may involve hours of work every day and most likely early starts to fit in a programme
before school starts. For some families, the pressure of having to care for other children as well as work around the parents’ careers will see them opting to put their sport-loving child into boarding school to minimise disruption to the rest of the family. The culture of excellence around sporting academies is something that permeates through the school, and it’s likely that your young person’s peers will also be similarly driven. And it’s not just immersion in sport that’s a bonus of going to boarding school – most schools have a wide array of cultural activities and opportunities that can best be grasped when the young person is living in. Another reason for sending children to boarding school is to foster a sense of independence and encourage more selfmanagement than they would be used to at home.
The boarder is expected to manage their morning routine, complete daily chores and get themselves organised for school. It’s a controlled environment, but one in which children can learn cause and effect, preparing them well for spreading their
wings in later life. A far cry from being dropped off at 9 and picked up at 3. The friendships forged in boarding schools also tend to be deep and lifelong, as the students are not only attending classes together but living together as well. All going well, your child
will build a strong and supportive network of friends and peers that will stand them in good stead throughout their lives. So even if geography is not an issue for your family, boarding school may still be the right choice for your child.

Know your MTA dealer
Why choosing an MTA member is a smart move
The Motor Trade Association’s (MTA’s) members belong to an association that’s been at the forefront of the automotive industry for over 100 years. Today, MTA is the largest body of automotive dealers, repairers, retailers and service stations in New Zealand. Thanks to the MTA Code of Ethics and Customer Promise that every member must work by, customers can be assured they will receive the highest standard of care. As a condition of membership, MTA members must, among other things, provide customers with high quality and honest service. They are also expected to comply with environmental laws and regulations, as well as being required to be a good employer and provide a safe working environment. MTA members will also need to ensure that all advertising is accurate, and that all their business dealings meet industry best practice – that includes keeping professional financial and legal records. Also as part of belonging to the organisation, an MTA member must also price goods and services fairly, avoid deceptive pricing and adhere to relevant customer service laws. Members also need to respond to all customer enquiries and seek to resolve any complaints. So, when you go to an MTA member, you know that they will be above board and professional in order to get the MTA’s tick of approval – and they need to pass an annual review to remain an accredited member. In the rare event that a customer is not 100 percent satisfied with purchase or repair work, MTA’s free mediation service is ready to help
resolve issues quickly and without any fuss.
Once the customer has tried to resolve it directly with the MTA member and failed, they can request the mediation. While the mediation centre can’t order the MTA member to do anything, mediators can encourage them to recognise any failings and encourage them to seek a resolution. Consumers will still have all applicable legal rights, but this mediation service is a great way of sorting out problems early, without the need for expensive legal action. As part of their customer promise, MTA repairers will only undertake work that a customer has
authorised and will contact them if any extra work is needed. MTA repairers also provide a free repairer warranty on their repair work, so customers can be sure that they will stand behind their work. MTA dealers also provide a dealer warranty on all qualifying vehicles at no extra cost, and they will provide free pre-purchase checks for vehicles on request. In addition, members are provided with the latest industry training and knowledge to ensure that they are highly-skilled and well-equipped to do the best job possible for motorists. Operating since 1917, the MTA is New Zealand’s trusted motoring brand, and it’s easy to see why.
Fairview Motors – stability and integrity With a 50-year track record in the Waikato, and 20 years in Cambridge, Fairview Motors is the trusted name in new and used car sales, adding Mazda to the Ford vehicles on offer about five years ago. It’s also home to a service department that caters to all makes and models, with continuous investment in the very latest in diagnostic equipment and staff training. On board just after Fairview bought the business from Cambridge Ford in 1997, manager Glen Bain points to Fairview Motors’ stability and integrity. “One of our main objectives is to give people peace of mind,” he explained. And as a member of the MTA, the organisation’s ethics are at the heart of how Fairview Motors does business, Glen added. “MTA membership is something we’re proud of and it motivates us.” With Fairview Motors at the forefront of technology and boasting an enviable range of new and second-hand vehicles, it’s worth calling in for a chat with Glen and the team.

LEAMINGTON MOTORS –
excellent service since 2007 Sometimes described as ‘Leamington’s best kept secret’, Leamington Motors is handily located on Campbell St, right behind the BP station. Owner Keith Keoghan says the key to the business’s success is their emphasis on good oldfashioned service. Providing everything from warrant of fitness and pre-purchase inspections to electronic diagnostics and brake repairs, Leamington Motors prides themselves on their professionalism that has earned them earned them a solid customer base who wouldn’t go anywhere else. They offer free quotes and free local pickup and delivery and will keep you informed every step of the way. With a longstanding team and a new apprentice on board, Leamington Motors can get the job done in good time and at a good price, so give them a call to experience Leamington’s best-kept secret for yourself.

A feast for book lovers One of Rotary Cambridge’s big annual fundraisers is on this week: Bookarama – a much-anticipated event for many locals, where a huge range of quality second hand books are on sale inside the Cambridge Town Hall, at very affordable prices. It kicked off on Wednesday this week and wraps up on Saturday evening, running 9am to 5pm each day. Organisers have been preparing for the event since February, collecting around 30,000 quality books donated by the local community. “There’s something for everybody,” said one of the organisers from Rotary Cambridge, John Bishop. “And it’s all in alphabetical order,
and all by interest, so people understand it. So whether it’s a farming interest or a human health interest, it’s all there, there’s history, early NZ, cook books, gardening, it’s well
catered for. Bookarama raises funds, but it’s actually a community service too, in the sense that people come in and there’s affordable books here, and a massive range.
“And we keep a very high-quality standard of our books,” added fellow Rotarian, Colin Davis. Last year’s event raised over $14,000, and
other Bookaramas have pulled in up to $18,000, which all goes back into the local community. Funds are distributed amongst charitable

organisations such as Achievement House, The Cambridge Tree Trust, Cambridge Life Skills, the Community Marae and others.

Julia-Rose and Madelyn out with their Creators at Home educarers, making the most of these beautiful days having fun with a rake and all those leaves, with a passing baby joining in (behind).
The 111 Report POLICE

A car was stopped at the red light waiting and a second vehicle has stopped safely behind this car. A third vehicle has failed to stop and crashed into the second vehicle, shunting it into the first.
No matter how times change, children will always love a pile of leaves. Ava, out with her Creators at Home educarer is no exception.
Madelyn enjoyed a rest on the leaf pile she had made, relaxing in the autumn sunshine.

This original, offbeat comedy is delightfully portrayed. Martha, an eighty-year-old former Canadian dancer, has been living in Paris for decades. Now losing her head, she is threatened to be sent to an old people's home. No way. Martha decides to call her niece, Canadian librarian Fiona, for help. Alas, when her relative arrives in the French capital, Martha has disappeared. Worse, Fiona loses both her identity documents and money after falling into the Seine. Now alone in Paris, the young woman is desperate. It is at this point that Dom, a homeless man who lives in a tent on the Île aux Cygnes, unexpectedly comes into her life, for better or worse. It’s so ridiculous that you just have to laugh – a very cleverly written script. It’s most enjoyable, with great shots of Paris. “It’s a little gem.” The Guardian. It’s quite an Eiffel. “It will put a goofy grin on your face for the rest of the day.” Listener. (English and French.)
Based on Penelope Fitzgerald's novel of the same name; 'The Bookshop' is set in 1959, Florence Green (Emily Mortimer), a free-spirited widow, puts grief behind her and risks everything to open up a bookshop - the first such shop in the sleepy seaside town of Hardborough, England. Fighting damp, cold and considerable local apathy she struggles to establish herself but soon her fortunes change for the better. By exposing the narrow minded local townsfolk to the best literature of the day including Nabokov's scandalizing "Lolita" and Ray Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451", she opens their eyes thereby causing a cultural awakening in a town which has not changed for centuries. Her activities bring her a kindred spirit and ally in the figure of Mr Brundish (Bill Nighy) who is himself sick of the town's stale atmosphere. But this mini social revolution soon brings her fierce enemies: she invites the hostility of the town's less prosperous shopkeepers and also crosses Mrs. Gamart (Patricia Clarkson).
