Letters to the editor

Cambridge newsroom update It’s been all go in the newsroom again this week, with a bumper paper to fill up this week. It’s a funny thing, though, no matter how big or small the paper is, there are always things I can’t manage to fit in. (Not sure how that works.) It’s a good problem to have.

This week the council has released a statement saying that an independent report has found that Cambridge will not need a third bridge for at least another 20 years.

I almost choked on my Weetbix reading that, considering that as a Leamingtonian I struggle daily with getting across the high-level bridge. I also remember all too well the chaos and calamity that ensued back in 2014, when said bridge was closed for an excruciating four months so that the footpaths could be made 40cm wider – which hasn’t helped motorists squish across there any easier. Nor has it helped the regular occurrence of trucks following their GPS and getting stuck, closing the bridge and damaging it in the process. Apparently the current “traffic jam” to get across it during the evening rush is only 1- 2 minutes, so we’re not talking an Auckland-level commute, however it’s the wobbling of it while you are stuck on there that I find somewhat alarming. It is an old bridge, and we are a fast-growing town. Having said that, the money for a new bridge has to come from somewhere, so what’s the council to do? I don’t envy them one bit for the decision they will have to make on that.

Other than that, the Autumn Festival wound up on Sunday, after a week of wonderful things to see and do. We are truly lucky that a dedicated group of volunteers give their time to run the festival for our town – it’s events such as this that make Cambridge a more enjoyable place to live.

On that note, have a great week and we hope you enjoy the paper – we’ve had a lot of fun bringing it to you. Yes, really.

Claire Castle, editor

Editor, Your Friday 13th report about Mylchreest’s recent talk to Grey Power members made my blood boil.

His statement that cross-lease holders affected by the iniquitous split water bill arrangement should contact council and persist with voicing their concerns when they receive no response is disgraceful as is his mendacious and misleading claim that council is “working hard to sort those (inequitable cases) out”.

As an affected person I have devoted a significant amount of time, energy and money since July 2017 trying to do exactly what Mylchreest advised Grey Power members to do. It has been a complete and utter waste of effort.

Telephone calls, emails and letters have not been replied to and council made absolutely NO EFFORT to engage with me in any way until, that is, I finally caved in to council’s ambivalence and opted to have my own dedicated meter connected. And even that process took two months and many calls from the date I signed the council’s formal agreement for it!

Grey Power members would be well advised to take Mylchreest’s words with a pinch of salt.

(Abridged) Kelvin Dunn Editor Congratulations Jennifer Burton of the Autumn festival committee. She organized the Artist Trail and as one of the delighted participants I had many, many people visit me during the weekend. They came from as far as New Plymouth, Auckland and Tauranga. Jennifer Burton made an

efficient and amazing job of this trail, no easy feat to organise. Have to give her an A+ and say thank you. Please do it again, your organizing and tireless effort was amazing.

Carole Hughes Editor There is a reason why the block of land on the corner of Taylor and Vogel Sts is empty. It was the only local rubbish dump that served the whole of the Cambridge area. It was common knowledge that is was never to be built on, having never been compacted. I can remember back in the day that there were car batteries, tyres, chassis, you name it, everything was dumped there, having been little or no recycling in those days. The tip-head was at the Taylor St end, and it gently sloped up to King St. Having no natural drainage, it was always half full of swampy water (and frogs). I can imagine the toxic waste below the surface. I think the cannon from Victoria Square was buried there too.

J. Simpson Council responds: Council is aware of the history and past use of the land and has commissioned several specialist geotechnical reports over the years to check for possible soil contaminants. All these reports, along with remediation reports and consenting information requirements are available to anyone, including any interested buyers.

In terms of the WW1 cannon, the site has been investigated multiple times using ground penetrating radar and digging equipment in various locations from King Street to Taylor Street (and everything in between). A cannon has never been found.

Cycling Festival sure to be a hit The Cambridge Cycling Festival returns for its fourth year on Wednesday, April 25 – Anzac Day – commencing from 1pm in the Cambridge town centre.

Originally the brainchild of former Olympic cyclist and Cambridge local Sarah Ulmer, the annual event sees children and adults race against each other in their respective age and ability groups, leading up to a final “elites’ race” of local sportspeople – which so far is set to include Rushlee Buchanan, Sam

Gaze, Ellesse Andrews and members of the junior elite track team, with more elites expected but not confirmed. Trek bikes and goodie bags will be up for grabs, and food will be available to buy through the Alfresco Bites gourmet food market. Races will take place along Victoria St, with people of all ages welcome to sign up on the day at Victoria Square from 12.30pm, or at www. cambridgecyclingfestival.co.nz. Entry is Last year’s Cambridge Cycling Festival saw all ages and $5, or $2 for under-fives. abilities race along Victoria St. Photo – Michael Jeans.

No third bridge in sight

By Claire Castle An independent study commissioned by council has found that Cambridge will not need a third bridge across the Waikato River for at least another 20 years.

The Beca report, which cost almost $26,000, noted that traffic volumes crossing the river have grown 17 per cent in the last 10 years, with most growth occurring in the last three.

Using a regional traffic model and taking the town’s projected growth into account, the report found that there was “no short or medium term need for an additional bridge in Cambridge”.

A third bridge would not be needed until around 2048 or so and would likely come with a “rough order” price tag of $60-$65 million, the report said.

Roading is not a targeted rate, so this cost would have to be spread across the entire region and could potentially result in a districtwide rates increase of around 11 percent, based on a cost of $65M. This would remain in place for the next 29 years, because the project would be loan-funded over 30 years. For someone with a rates bill of $2500 per year, this would add an extra $275 to their bill, for the next 29 years.

Cambridge Chamber of Commerce CEO, Tania Witheford, said the chamber believes a third bridge is “critical” to Cambridge, especially the central business district. “While the current data does not support a new or alternative/enhanced river crossing, traffic volumes have increased dramatically over the past 3-4 years and will continue to do so as the area grows,” she said.

Council’s road corridor manager Bryan Hudson said around 27,000 vehicles a day use either the high-level Victoria St bridge or the wider Shakespeare St structure to cross the river. While Shakespeare St had more capacity than the Victoria St bridge, it was used by 26 per cent fewer vehicles in 2016.

The Beca report noted that at peak hours, Cambridge drivers might encounter an average 1-2 minute delay in crossing the river.

Ms Witheford said that “resilience and future planning are central to the consideration of a third bridge, rather than being based on ‘congestion’”.

As part of its report, Beca did a high-level assessment of four potential locations for a new bridge.

They included extending Vogel St south to the river; building a new bridge west of the town belt; extending Hanlin Rd near the

Avantidrome and constructing a bridge from the southern end of Hall St. A fifth option was building a new bridge beside the 110-year old Victoria Street bridge. The existing bridge could then potentially be closed to traffic and used only by walkers and cyclists.

Beca has now been commissioned by the Council to investigate the resilience of the Victoria St bridge and estimate its long-term maintenance costs.

Quickfire News

Cambridge earthworks company fined $19,000

A Cambridge company was convicted and fined $19,125 for sediment discharges into a Tamahere stream near Hamilton. The prosecution of Cambridge Excavators Limited was brought by the Waikato Regional Council, following two separate incidents that occurred in November 2016 when a large sediment retention pond used during development of the Tamahere Recreation Reserve was being decommissioned. Sediment retention ponds are used to prevent environmental harm from soil and sediment run off to waterways.

The first incident was brought to the council’s attention by a local resident who noticed sediment in the stream running through their property and tracked it back to the empty pond on the project site.

The council investigation found that the entire contents of the sediment retention pond had been pumped out into the storm water system over a three-day period. The sediment laden water subsequently entered a tributary of the Mangaone Stream.

Following the council’s attendance, a discharge of a smaller scale occurred.

A second company, which project managed the development and subcontracted Cambridge Excavators, also pleaded guilty to the environmental breaches but successfully sought a discharge without conviction from the court.

In addition, both companies will contribute a total of $25,000 to community groups for restoration and conservation works at the Tamahere reserve and for Mangaone Stream.

RDA does Cambridge proud

The Cambridge Chamber of Commerce CEO, Tania Witheford, believes a third bridge is critical to Cambridge, especially the CBD.

Cambridge Riding for the Disabled did the Waipa District volunteer community proud at the Trustpower National Community Awards in the Queenstown Lakes District last weekend.

Greg and Diane Gascoigne represented the group, with Mayor Jim Mylchreest also on hand to support the team over the weekend. These representatives took their community project head to head with the country’s best and brightest volunteer groups and projects on a national stage, full of friendly competition.

Cambridge Riding for the Disabled came out on top at the Trustpower Waipa District Community Awards last year, which earnt them their spot at the Trustpower National Community Awards.

Trustpower Community and Communications Advisor, Ash Cleaver, said although the Waipa District group did not come away as award recipients, their achievements shouldn’t be forgotten or discounted.

“Cambridge Riding for the Disabled are doing spectacular work with Waipa’s children and young people with intellectual and physical special needs,” said Cleaver.

The national competition brought together 25 groups from across 27 regions – all who were named Supreme Winners of last year’s Trustpower Community Awards, a programme run in partnership with local Councils.

According to a recent report, drivers face an average of a 1- 2 minute delay crossing the river during peak times.

Happy ending to vandalism saga

Damage done to bollards outside the Cambridge Health and Community Centre on the weekend was repaired just over 24 hours later thanks to a swift offer of help by local businessman Ian Moess.

The wooden bollards were ripped from the ground by an out-of-control vehicle in the early hours of Saturday morning.

Evidence outside the Taylor St premises shows deep tyre tracks leading to a power pole now bearing the scrape marks. The vehicle careened across the top of the centre’s driveway and hit the bollards, tearing all 17 from the ground, and then clipped a tree at the edge of the property before reversing and driving off.

News of the incident posted to the Cambridge Grapevine page early last Saturday was spotted by Andrea Moess. She and her husband run their Cambridge family business – Eric Moess Fencing.

Andrea said the business often tried to find ways to help in the community.

“When we saw it on the Cambridge Grapevine, we were happy to help out.”

They provided about $500 worth of repair work at no charge.

The team swung into action for about three hours on Sunday morning. Among the friends and family who swelled their number were Waikato Regional Council harbourmaster Chris Bredenbeck, The Gardenator NZ Anne McClennan, the Moess’s 13-year-old daughter Georgia and her friend Esme McClennan, and Steven Strachan of Drainage Direct.

The teens helped pick up the car parts and glass shards, while Steven fixed a broken drain pipe damaged in the incident – also offering his services free of charge. Fuelling everyone with coffee and donuts was Gourmet Delicious, who occupy space in the centre.

The Cambridge Health and Community Centre’s Deb Knowles was grateful to Eric Moess Fencing for its offer of help and thanked all those involved.

“We’re extremely grateful to Ian and his team, to Gourmet Delicious, to the Toy Library for posting it on the Cambridge Grapevine, to Montessori Pre-School who helped follow it up with a non-Facebook user like me, and

to Waikato Security who phoned it in to police.

“Somewhere out there is a Holden with an awful lot of frontal damage!”

Police said the report received had come in as a traffic accident, and after finding no reports of motor vehicle accidents in the area, the job had been

closed off. Investigations have since been re-opened.

“It really comes down to the way in which an incident is reported,” said Detective Sergeant Bill Crowe.

He urged people seeing or hearing anything out of the normal to report it to police as soon as possible.

The sports fields are still over a month away from being usable as the grass needs a bit more time to establish itself. But Waikato Lacrosse has booked space for use in May for its secondary schools’ league.

New AED for Matangi Anzac Day next week Members of the Matangi community are now much more likely to be brought back from the brink of death after an automated external defibrillator (AED) was installed at the local Foursquare on Tauwhare Rd. “AEDs significantly improve the chances of someone surviving a cardiac arrest if they are used within five minutes of the attack happening, so having a 24/7 accessible AED nearby is very desirable,” explained Alan Grant, a volunteer ambulance officer in Cambridge who has helped bring several AEDs to local communities through HEARTSafe Cambridge.

The organisation, along with St John, has helped introduce AEDs to several local areas including Fencourt, Te Miro, Eureka, Kairangi, Kaipaki and in central Cambridge. Several of the sites are marked with a red AED street sign or can be found by using the mobile phone app “AED Locations” – free to download. It shows where the nearest AED is to your location and details the distance, time and route to get there.

Those who need to use an AED can simply dial 111, ask for an ambulance,

say where you are getting the AED from and the 111 operator will give you the 4 digit code to unlock the lock box. Grab the AED, head back to the patient, open the AED, and simply follow the very clear audio instructions on how to use it. If possible, have one person perform CPR while another goes and gets the AED. Studies have shown that the likelihood of survival following cardiac arrest is more than doubled when a bystander uses an AED. The latest installation at the Matangi Four Square followed an open afternoon held in the centre of the village, where the Cambridge branches of HEARTSafe and St John demonstrated CPR and AED use to help raise the required funds.

On Sunday, April 22 from 1pm to 2pm a similar fundraising and demonstration day will be held outside St Kilda Café & Bistro, with the aim of eventually installing an AED on the outside wall of the café. A similar event is being planned for the Karapiro community for a Sunday afternoon in May, date to be confirmed, to fundraise for an AED installation at Karapiro village.

Anzac Day is on Wednesday next week, April 25, an especially significant occasion with 2018 being the centenary of the end of World War I. Commemorations will begin on Tuesday with a light show held outside the Cambridge Town hall, 6pm-9pm, with slides of commemorative images lighting up the front of the town hall.

Meanwhile an Anzac Salute Concert will be held inside from 6.30pm performed by the Cambridge Brass Band, entry is free.

Commemorations on Anzac Day will take place in and outside the Cambridge Town Hall, starting with the Dawn Service at 6am at the cenotaph. At 8.45am members of the Commemorative Service Parade will

begin to gather at the former RSA site, on the corner of Empire and Alpha Streets, parading to the Cambridge Town Hall where the Civic Service will commence inside the hall at 9am.

At the conclusion of the ceremony the audience will gather outside for the laying of wreathes at the cenotaph.

Parking for aged and infirm will be available on Kirkwood St. Anzac Day is recognised as a public holiday in New Zealand, with most stores required to be closed until 1pm.

In a similar schedule to 2017, after the Anzac Day activities, the Cambridge town centre will play host to the annual Cambridge Twilight Cycling Festival from 1pm.

MORTGAGE MATTERS

Refinancing Your Mortgage

By Gavin Lynch – Yes Mortgages Refinancing your mortgage is the process of changing your mortgage lending from your existing lender to a new lender. Refinancing is a common practice for any of these reasons: • You don’t like the lender you are with.

You’ve experienced poor service, problems with staff, or high account fees.

• You want to borrow more money but the lender won’t allow it.

Perhaps you want to consolidate debt, borrow to purchase a rental property or a vehicle, or put working capital into a business.

• You have ‘outgrown’ your existing lender and want to move forward.

This is common for self-employed people with a growing business, or for investors with an increasing portfolio.

• Your lender has asked you to refinance.

You may be in arrears with mortgage repayments or you need to restructure your mortgage.

Refinancing can involve costs such as break fees from the existing lender, solicitors’ fees, valuation charges etc, but we can help get cash contributions from your new lender to help offset these costs.

At Yes Mortgages, we can outline the costs involved and find the best new lender to fit your current situation from the 25 or so different lenders available. In most instances, our service is FREE to you.

Generally the benefits of refinancing outweigh the costs involved but bear in mind: Refinancing your mortgage must benefit and add value to YOU. Let us do the work to find you the best lender for your situation.

Something for everyone at festival

By Claire Castle The Cambridge Autumn Festival is over for another year, but there is no resting on their laurels for the event’s six organisers, who will begin preparations for the 2019 festival in the next week or so.

Two trustees, Julie Epps and David McCathie, were still buzzing on Monday, the day after the 10th Autumn Festival wrapped up.

While the pair found it difficult to single out highlights from the festival, they both agreed that there was a wider inclusion of cultural groups and entertainment for children among this year’s 26 events on offer. David said he found it interesting to see

Cambridge Autumn Festival trustee Alan Milton cuts the cake on the festival’s opening night, with fellow trustee David McCathie.

how much children were excited by old-fashioned entertainment, such as The Bubble Man and the woodturning. “Small things from the past can still be fascinating,” he added.

While the festival has grown over its 10 years, both Julie and David agree that the six “hardcore” volunteers are doing it for the benefit of the town, not for any recognition that might come their way. “It just gives people such a lot of pleasure,” Julie said. “We do it for the love of it,” David added.

And if the popularity of this year’s event is anything to go by, next year’s Autumn Festival will provide even more pleasure to locals and visitors alike.

BMX hub for Cambridge Cycling New Zealand has announced the official launch of the Schick BMX National Performance Hub programme this week, which will be based predominately in Cambridge using the local BMX track and the Avantidrome, along with training at local tracks in

the Waikato and Bay of Plenty. The programme is expected to be in place by May. The hub was announced at the recent BMX National Championship at Easter, including details of the upcoming hub selection camp at the end of this month.

It marks the fifth of a planned seven cycling performance hubs to form a network around the country, following regional road and track cycling performance hubs in Auckland, Waikato-Bay of Plenty and OtagoSouthland along with a national hub for Mountain Bike in Rotorua. Cycling New Zealand is working towards two further regional road and track cycling hubs.

The organisation has confirmed that former BMX international rider Matt Cameron will be head coach of the Schick BMX National Performance Hub. “As well as providing training facilities and programmes for athletes, the hub will assist with the development of key coaches and provide a pathway for coaches as part of high performance

succession planning. This appointment of Matt Cameron is evidence of that philosophy coming to fruition,” said Cycling New Zealand CEO, Andrew Matheson.

Cameron was a national BMX champion, representing New Zealand at the World Championships and World Cups. He has been coaching BMX for the past three years.

“Having someone like Matt stepping in to this role is fantastic for the BMX hub. He has a great blend of cycling experience, and youth coaching qualifications and is a great addition to our team,” said Matheson.

Schick Civil Construction is the naming sponsor of the BMX hub, along with other BMX supporters in Subway and First Windows and Doors.

Cambridge Leos give $500 to New Lives

Matt Cameron, pictured in action at the BMX Supercross Worlds Cup in Chula Vista, California in 2016, will take on the role as head coach for the Schick BMX National Performance Hub.

The Cambridge High School Leo Club, a youth branch of the Cambridge Lions, recently made a much-needed donation of $500 to Cambridge-based charity New Lives Animal Rescue.

Donna Young, founder of New Lives, visited the school last week to receive the donation, accompanied by the organisation’s latest rescue, a four-year-old female labrador which had arrived the day before. In light of the huge donation, Donna asked the students to give the dog a new name, and after a few deliberations they came up with Cleo, derived from Cambridge Leos.

“Thank you so much, that’s such a great effort,” Donna said upon receiving the $500 cheque, which had been raised through an art showcase evening organised by the Leos late last year.

Miss Saigon huge undertaking

By Sophie Iremonger Cambridge’s Misty Henderson and Jonathan Khalil will star in big roles in St Peter’s School’s upcoming musical, Miss Saigon.

Misty Henderson, in the role of Ellen.

Misty will play one of the leading roles, Ellen, the new wife of the character Chris (Devin Gregory), an American soldier in the Vietnam War. The tragic love story starts when Chris meets Kim (Tu Maia Carbone-Curtis), a young Vietnamese woman, during his service in Vietnam.

The pair undergo a commitment ceremony, intending to marry, but are torn apart by the fall of Saigon.

Believing she is dead, Chris returns to America and marries Ellen (Misty Henderson), and unbeknownst to him, Kim gives birth to his son, Tam. She makes her way to Bangkok, where she finds Chris’ friend John, and eventually Chris receives news that Kim is alive and has his child. He and his wife then travel to Bangkok, where Ellen and Kim meet for the first time, “and that’s when all hell breaks loose,” said the show’s musical director Victoria Trenwith.

“It’s quite an intense story, quite an emotional rollercoaster,” Victoria said.

going to be pretty cool,” she said.

The full cast includes 79 students, as well as a live 20-piece orchestra, mostly made up of students. The entire show is a through-composed musical, meaning all dialogue will be sung, with music written by the same people who composed Les Misérables.

“It’s a big piece, it’s a huge theatrical undertaking, but rehearsals have been going really well,” said Trenwith.

Miss Saigon will be performed across six shows from May 4 to May 10.

Tickets are available through iTICKET.

Jonathan Khalil stars as “The Engineer”, a sleazy bar owner who eventually tries to pose as Tam’s uncle in an effort to get to America. “He’s a bit of a sociopath, but on the other side he’s got this big showman personality,” Jonathan said.

Victoria said the show includes some “really impressive technical aspects”, including a custom-built helicopter which will fly in and land on stage during the fall of Saigon.

“People will have to come and see what we’re going to do, because it’s

Getting your groove back

By Taryn Lyford Parenting is the blissful, challenging, beautiful, disorganised chaos that is expected, yet there is no real explanation that brilliantly proves just how magical it is until you are experiencing it for yourself.

What I wasn’t perhaps prepared for was the demands of raising two toddlers. When you have one, everything is possible, but two makes possible a little more… tropical.

But... without the kids, who are you?

As relatively thinned out hair *thanks hormones*, retired boobs, and the mental capacity of a flying squirrel without his daily nuts, I’d say someone a little more seasoned. It is possible to become pre-babies-you again.

Here are my 5 top tips to get you started...

Think of ways to make it possible It can be challenging to consider the thought of your baby being loved by someone else, but you need to take time out to breathe. My first night away was the hardest, but once the kids are older it will make it so much easier for you to even have date nights. Even better if you can keep the romance element alive, as this will keep your relationship exciting - so be sure to make time for each other too.

Acknowledge if you are not coping Don’t be embarrassed to ask for help.

You are human, not a robot - you are allowed to be crying one minute and laughing the next. However, if you find that you have anxiety, adrenaline or any other overwhelming thoughts or emotions kicking in, call someone you feel comfortable to talk to.

Do something every day that makes you smile I used to work with my husband on this, “can you watch the kids for 2 hours whilst I go to a show/event/ activity”. When I was happy, my whole world was a better place.

You are accountable for your actions, thoughts and emotions, and only you can change your experience. Do whatever it takes, outside of a mum/ wife/partner, and do something for you.

Study and learn something new Again, this is about reinvesting in you. Building passions and reevaluating your values. One day your kids will leave - you don’t want to be lonely and bored all at the same time, waiting for them to visit.

Play and stay grounded With your family, your friends and your pets, separately and together.

Explore new sights. Get involved with your local community; pay it forward.

Empower, inspire and lead others, it’s amazing the feel-good vibes you get from it, and often it will you bring you back down to earth when you realise that some people have had harder roads to travel.

And remember that while the days are long, the years are all too short.

Jonathan Khalil, on set and in costume as “The Engineer”.

Grab opportunities, MP says

By Viv Posselt

Taupo MP Louise Upston has likened today’s pathway to employment as more of a jungle gym than the ladder her own generation had been expected to follow.

Ms Upston was at Cambridge High School recently, talking to students and teachers involved in Smart Waikato’s Secondary School Employer Partnerships (SSEP) arrangement.

The initiative, launched by Smart Waikato in 2016, offers Year 9 and 10 students opportunities to work alongside businesses that interest them, thereby helping them make subject choices better aligned to their further

education and career choice.

Cambridge High is one of 22 schools in the Waikato engaged in the SSEP arrangement. Last year, 125 CHS students across five Year 10 classes in the science faculty took part, spending time in workplaces offered by a range of employers.

CHS deputy principal Carol Webb said the SSEP programme was one of several of the school’s initiatives aimed at helping young people navigate their options when planning their future.

“This is all part of a suite of initiatives we have in place to help students prepare for life after school, particularly for those first few critical years,” she said. “It helps them realise that career

options now are not necessarily going to be in a neat linear line where one step follows another. There are many more possibilities today.”

Her view was echoed by Ms Upston, who said her own career pathway had been quite different from the one she envisioned while at school, and that the SSEP initiative presented a great opportunity for young people.

“We were told our career paths should be like a ladder – one step naturally following another. However,

I often describe it more as a jungle gym today, with so many different options and different ways to get there.”

She said New Zealand led the world in some areas, and there were plenty of employment opportunities available.

The more students were able to experience those opportunities out of the classroom, the better.

“We have a situation where unemployment is low,” she said. “It means that there is a job out there for every young New Zealander.”

We will donate $1 to the

Top title at BMX Nationals

Quickfire Games

By Sophie Iremonger

Some of Cambridge’s elite sportspeople have reaped an impressive haul of medals at the Commonwealth Games, adding to New Zealand’s total of 46 medals – our highest ever medal haul at a Games outside NZ – with 15 gold, 16 silver and 15 bronze.

Tasman Wakelin was one of seven Cambridge riders to win national titles at the BMX National Championships over Easter weekend, an impressive feat considering the Cambridge High School student was the youngest in his league, taking out the title for 16-year-old boys.

Fifteen-year-old Tasman will join fellow Cambridge BMXers Bennett Greenough, who finished first for 13-year-old boys, and Tia Hastings-Thurgood, who finished fourth for 15-year-old girls, as part of the NZ Senior Development team competing in round two of the Australian National Series this weekend. Having already finished first in his category during round one of the Australian Nationals in February, Tasman aims to finish on top in all four rounds to claim the title of 16-year-old boys’ champion in both New Zealand and Australia.

The six other Cambridge riders who earned top titles at the New Zealand Nationals were Meg Cannon (8yo girls), Leila Walker (13yo girls), Jack Greenough (13yo boys), Bennett Greenough (15yo boys), Charlie Lester-Rosson (16yo girls) and Tim Ferguson (35-39yo males).

Tasman also competed in the Super Nat category at the NZ Nationals – going up against the NZ’s top elite riders. He finished first in all of the qualifying rounds but was cut out from the lead during the final race.

“I still pulled off a 5th, so I was happy,” said Tasman. “I didn’t drop a lap all weekend, so I was pretty stoked about that.”

Having competed in nine New Zealand championships, it was the first time Tasman secured a national title. “I was really stoked, since I’d never done that before,” he said. “It’s fun, racing (at Nationals). It’s the most enjoyable part of BMX… and obviously the result adds on to how good the experience was.”

Tasman’s name will be added to the trophy, which already includes the name of his coach Kurt Pickard, who won the same title in 2007.

“Really that just opened the door for him to now go to the worlds,” said Tasman’s mum Lisa. “We decided, and he decided, that if he managed to get first, then worlds would definitely be on the cards… he’s been working really hard this year.”

After competing in the Australian Nationals, Tasman will compete at the world champs in Azerbaijan in June. “It starts to get a bit expensive, so we would really like to find some sponsorship,” Lisa said.

Anyone interested in sponsoring Tasman can email lisac@outlook.co.nz.

All in all, 53 Cambridge riders competed at the National BMX Champs in New Plymouth, with 25 riders placed in the top eight.

The New Zealand women's basketball team came away from the Games with a bronze medal to show after their final clash against Canada on April 14. After being thrashed 109-50 the night before by Australia in the semifinal, the Kiwis managed to pull off a comfortable 74-58 victory.

Cambridge's Charlisse Leger-Walker, the youngest ever Tall Fern at 16, scored 18 points. During the final stretch of the game, when the Canadians had climbed their way back to only 10 points behind, Charlisse sunk four three-pointers putting the Kiwis on a path to certain victory.

Meanwhile Cambridge’s Joelle King finished up her squash campaign with two gold medals and one bronze. The 29-year-old certainly earned her wins, playing every day throughout the 12-day event, with a total of 16 games.

Her latest medal was in the women’s doubles where she teamed with Rotorua’s Amanda Landers-Murphy to defeat the defending champs Joshna Chinappa and Dipika Pallikal Karthik of India. Her bronze medal came from a mixed doubles victory alongside Greymouth’s Paul Coll, winning against Alison Waters and Daryl Selby of England. King also became New Zealand's first ever squash singles gold medallist when she beat England's Sarah-Jane Perry after 78 minutes of close competition, scoring 16-14, 11-8, 6-11, 11-13, 11-8.

New Zealand’s largely Cambridge-based track cyclists gave promising performances throughout the games, bringing home 12 track medals. The three-time world champion trio of Sam Webster, Eddie Dawkins and Ethan Mitchell claim the gold medal in the men’s team sprint. Webster defended his title in the individual sprint whilst Eddie Dawkins earned silver in the 1000m time trial.

Swimmers prepare for Oceania championships

By Sophie Iremonger Three swimmers based out of the St Peter’s Swimming Club will represent New Zealand for the first time when they compete in the 2018 Oceania Swimming Championships in June.

Daniel Caldwell, 20, Thomas Raymond, 19, and Paige Flynn, 21, will compete with 19 other Kiwis at the competition being held from June 25 to 30 at Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea.

The trio will be accompanied by Lynelle Flynn, another St Peter’s Swimming Club member, who will act as the NZ team’s assistant manager.

Though Paige was absent when we caught up with the swimmers recently, the boys said they were very much looking forward to the elite racing experience.

“I’m just pretty happy, pretty stoked to be part of the team,” said Thomas. “We don’t really know what to expect so, just got to be ready for anything I guess.”

“I’m pretty stoked,” added Daniel. “It’ll be a good racing experience.”

“I actually thought Carl (swim coach) had sent a text to the wrong person,” Thomas laughed, remembering when he’d heard the news in March that they’d made the team.

But the trio were chosen for good reason, having clocked top times at last year’s open nationals event held in Auckland, to qualify for the Oceania champs.

In fact, the boys also made their personal best times in the process, Thomas finishing the 400m freestyle event in four minutes and 5.4 seconds, and Dan doing the 100m freestyle in 51.56 seconds. At the same event Paige also clocked 56.8 seconds in the 300m backstroke, and one minute and 2.6 seconds for the 100m backstroke.

“Hopefully we’ll get a PB (personal best) over there as well,” Thomas said.

“It’s going to be higher competition than what we’re used to, so that should push us along,” Daniel

Get gardening

A monthly gardening column, courtesy of Amber Garden Centre As the first signs of winter bite, it’s time to prepare the garden for the winter ahead.

Vege garden Harvest pumpkins and store in a cool, dry place. Dig out potato crops and store in a cool, dark place. Kumara should be harvested before the first frost. Planting winter vegetables – cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, silverbeet, spinach and beetroot – in a raised garden will help with drainage. And don’t forget the slug bait.

Any areas not planted should be sown with mustard or lupin as a green crop to help add nutrients into the soil for spring.

Fruit Once pip and stonefruit have lost their leaves, you can prune.

Follow up immediately with a spray of copper to protect against leaf curl, black spot, leaf spot and blight. Prune feijoa bushes following the fruit harvest.

Flower garden Time to replace summer annuals with winter flowers, such as primula, polyanthus, pansy and viola, dianthus and Iceland poppies. Sweet peas planted now in a sunny spot will flower in spring. Ensure spring bulbs are all planted now.

Autumn is a good time to plant new shrubs, such as camellias and rhododendrons. Planted now, they establish before winter and will perform better in the spring.

Lawns Now is the best time to put down a new lawn, as you will get less weed growth. Turfix weed spray will control weeds in existing lawns and a top dress with a slow-release lawn fertiliser will green the lawn without strong leaf growth.

Happy gardening and stay warm.

New record and top placings for skier

By Sophie Iremonger

A Piarere water skier came away from the recent Barefoot Water Ski National Champs with top placings and a trick ski record.

Seventeen-year-old William Leigh competed in the competition held at Lake Karapiroover Easter, competing in both the junior and open men’s events.

He dominated the junior boys’ division, coming first in all three categories of trick, slalom and jump to win overall, and finished second overall in the open men’s division and third in the open

men’s trick division. He nearly won the open men’s division overall, missing out by just 20 points out of 3000.

“It was really close, but I was pleased with getting second place,” said William. “I’d pushed through a really good tournament and learned a lot.

“There’s always a tough competition, there’s a lot more depth in the open men and you have to compete really good just to get into the finals…

Personally I’m really happy with how I skied.”

During the three-day competition the Year 13 St Peter’s student broke

the Asia Oceania Junior Trick record, scoring 7750 points, the previous record being 7200. “That was just unbelievable,” an elated William said.

By the end of day two William was winning the open men’s competition by 9 points and had set the trick record after performing a series of multiple turns, where he went from front to back and back to front to pull off seven turns in one movement.

Throughout the entire competition he competed in 16 events, at least seven more events than any other competitor.

But it helped that William lives almost right next door to the competition, held at the Piarere Water Ski Club. “I was

just exhausted at the end of every day,” said William, later adding, “It was an awesome tournament.”

William has now secured a place in New Zealand’s junior and open teams which will compete at the world champs in august.

Over the weekend he started a 7-day training camp with the New Zealand teams, and will continue training locally until heading to Florida at the end of June for 6 weeks of training at a top ski school, before competing in the US Nationals in July. Then he’ll head to Canada in August for the world champs, where he hopes to make the top 15 for open men.

Mother’s Day fun run coming

William Leigh, pictured during the lead-up to Nationals, demonstrates the front-toback turn movement which contributed to his Asia Oceania trick record.

New Zealand’s biggest Mother’s Day event, the Jennian Homes Mother’s Day Fun Run/Walk, in support of women’s heart health, will this year be held in Cambridge for the first time. More than 13,000 people throughout New Zealand are expected to take part in the 5km event on Sunday, May 13th, with 33 events being held simultaneously from Paihia to Invercargill. Cambridge is one of 10 new locations, with walkers and runners setting off from Cambridge Raceway at 10am on Mother’s Day. Other newcomers to the event include Taupo, Napier, Blenheim and Wanaka.

Now in its seventh year, the annual event supports ‘Heart Foundation

for Women’, in what is the Heart Foundation’s 50th anniversary year.

Each location will have up to three Commonwealth Games athletes assisting with the warm-up, and all participants will receive an official event t-shirt designed by iconic New Zealand artist Dick Frizzell that features the word ‘fifty’ in the shape of a love heart to acknowledge the anniversary year. “Heart disease is the single biggest killer of women in New Zealand, claiming the lives of more than 55 women each week,” said Heart Foundation Medical Director Gerry Devlin.

Bridge club host regional championships Cambridge Submitted by the Cambridge Bridge Club Cambridge Bridge Club hosted the first session of the 2018 Waikato Bays Junior Championship League last Saturday. An excellent day was had by all 31 pairs, many of whom travelled considerable distance to compete.

The long journey was well worth the effort for Sharon Barton and Sheila Taylor from Taupo who took first place.

In second place were Lynne Boyack and Barbara Andrews from Cambridge. Barb Wilson and Lesley Roberts also from

Cambridge took the prize for the top Novice partnership.

There was a relaxed atmosphere, and everyone enjoyed the day. Compliments were made on the quality of the food and the excellent raffle prizes.

The event was well organised and with Nick Cantlon from Te Awamutu directing, his friendly style contributed to a successful tournament.

The next venue for this series will be at Matamata on Saturday, May 5. Full results and the ladder can be found on the The best novice pair, Cambridge’s Barb Cambridge Bridge Club website. Wilson and Lesley Roberts.

A weekend Taylor-made for football main game against Onehunga Mangere United, coached by former All Whites Brian Turner and Dave Taylor. The Reds won 4-2 to move into third place on the Northern League second division ladder.

The Aucklanders took an early lead, but an eight-minute spell before half-time turned the game in favour of the Reds. Defender Daniel Clarkin scrambled home a corner in the 38th minute before brother Josh Clarkin scored Cambridge’s second in the 43rd minute. As the half went into added time, striker Dylan Blair cleverly lost his marker and tapped in a third goal.

In the second half, the two teams parried with neither dominating but Cambridge

sealed victory with a penalty in the 86th minute by Jason Walker.

Onehunga Mangere picked up a consolation goal in added time when Cambridge’s Mason Woodall deflected a shot into his own net.

Cambridge coach Mike Woodlock said his team had been lucky to go into half-time with a 3-1 lead but had scrapped hard and shown character to leave Auckland with the win.

He had special praise for goal scorers Daniel Clarkin and Blair, both of whom had performed well in difficult conditions.

This weekend, Cambridge will aim for their fourth win of the season when they host Auckland’s Metro FC, one of New Zealand’s oldest football clubs, having been formed in

Footballer Andrew Taylor had a weekend to relish as he helped Cambridge’s top men’s and women’s teams to impressive victories.

Last Saturday, Taylor (30) scored three goals for Cambridge in their reserves’ 5-0 win against Onehunga Mangere United, a feat so rare for him he could not recall his previous hat-trick. On Sunday, he coached the club’s women’s team to a 6-1 win against Te Aroha Cobras to maintain the side’s 100% winning start to the Waikato Women’s League season.

“It was certainly a surprise,” Taylor said after his hat-trick.

It included two penalties and his record with the spot kicks “wasn’t too flash” until Saturday.

Taylor said winning the match in the Northern League’s reserves division was all the more special because the Cambridge team was now being coached by his father, Mike, who moved to the town from Auckland last year. The other goals in the game were scored

by Jack Portegys and Alex Mukaka.

The reserves’ big win prepared the way for Cambridge’s first team to repeat the effort in the Cambridge's Rachel Hill races past her Te Aroha marker.

The reserves will kick off at 12.30pm on Saturday while the main game at John Kerkhof Park will start at 3pm.

Cambridge’s team in the Loaded WaiBOP Championship beat Te Puke United 3-2, thanks to a hat-trick by striker Tom Woutersen. Woutersen, one of the club’s leading goalscorers in recent seasons, is back in town briefly from overseas but was able to make a game-changing appearance with goals in the 25th, 29th and 81st minutes.

Both Cambridge’s teams in the

Waikato Division D beat sides from Northern United, and both by 4-2. The only senior team to lose at the weekend was the club’s Waikato A team who lost 2-0 at home to Ngaruawahia United.

Cambridge’s women’s side picked up their second win of the season with their 6-1 success against Te Aroha. Goals were scored by Gemma Martin, Rachel Hill (2), Astrid Howarth (2) and Abby Cook (penalty).

Group One winner back on form

By Candice Gollan Cambridge-trained Ugo Foscolo returned to his winning ways on Saturday when he stepped out at Te Rapa to take out the Punters Challenge 5th May 1400m.

The Stephen Marsh trained fouryear-old gelding is now unbeaten in his three appearances at Te Rapa having won the Listed Hamilton Vets Equine Stakes (1100m) as a two-year-old and the Group Two Sarten Memorial (1400m) during his first time with Marsh.

The son of Zacinto then went to the

Australian stable of Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott last winter before returning to Marsh in Cambridge.

Ugo Foscolo resumed his New Zealand career at Matamata in February but followed the field home and Marsh accepted the blame for the flawed run.

“It was trainer error running him then after he had been off the scene for a fair while,” Marsh said.

Ugo Foscolo had a break after his start at Matamata and Marsh’s patience was rewarded when Ugo Foscolo responded with his win with Jockey Danielle Johnson aboard.

“We gave him a trial at Avondale and he dead-heated for first in good time,” Marsh said.

Ugo Foscolo cruised a long in front

and, after getting clear at the top of the home straight, he won by half a length.

“He’s really well now and he’s a big improver from here.”

NZ horses dominate the Sydney Cup

By Candice Gollan New Zealand bred Who Shot Thebarman took out the Group One Sydney Cup (3200m) with a nail-biting finish at Randwick on Saturday.

Chris Waller trained, Who Shot Thebarman finished strongly after holding off Cambridge trainers Murray Baker and Andrew Forsman trained Zacada by a nose. Matamata trainers Lance O’Sullivan and Andrew Scott’s Sir Charles Road was one length away for third.

The nine-year-old grandson of Sir Tristram had finished second twice in the Sydney Cup until finally making it to the top of the podium.

The New Zealand bred stayer, and 2014 Auckland Cup winner, has also finished third in one of this three

Melbourne Cup appearances and fifth in another.

“He’s been a frustrating horse because he’s run so many great seconds and thirds in the Sydney Cups and Melbourne Cups,” Waller said. “He’s given us one hell of a ride.”

Who Shot Thebarman with Jockey Blake Shinn settled back before making their way into the race and around the field when they approached the home turn.

New Zealand stayer, Zacada paid $91 to win and he raced through on the rail and hit the front at the 200m but Who Shot Thebarman was a nose a head of him at the finish post.

“I’m just rapt for the horse and the owners,” Shinn said.

“The horse deserves the recognition.”

Come join Cambridge Tree Trust – we are looking for new members!

If you are interested, come along Tuesday morning, or telephone Don Willoughby on 07 827-8051 Zelkova carpinifolia or Caucasian elm Closely related to the elm, the Zelkova is a relict tree from the Tertiary Era. It is native to Azerbajan, Armenia, Georgia, Turkey and Iran, where its light, flexible timber was useful in making frames for doors and windows. 8000 years ago forests of zelkova were widespread in this Transcaucasian region, but sadly it is now threatened in its countries of origin; today there are just two populations remaining.

However it is a popular tree world-wide in botanic gardens; slow-growing and longlived it may reach 30 metres in height and in its mature form it has a short wide trunk dividing into many ascending branches to form a distinctive vase shape. It will be many, many decades before the zelkovas of Cambridge assume this stature and appearance if ever; for some reason in this country they often seem to grow with an enormous spread and are prone to breaking in storms. Strangely they are included on our Council’s list of preferred trees for streetplanting; although a lovely tree there are many species more suited to this particular purpose. However they do make a good shade tree for use in parks as shown in the accompanying photo.

Cambridge Tree Trust wishes to thank:

Loaf & Coco going nationwide

By Poppy Wortman A local designer duo is taking it national, with their clothing label being stocked in shops across the country.

Loaf & Coco - a modern take on the term “bread and butter” - is the creation of business partners and long-time friends, Julia Crickett and Rene Aveyard.

With the label’s new line, Chapter Three, set for release at the end of the month, the pair are pumped to

see it both in their own Cambridge store (Rumor Streetwear) and selected others around New Zealand.

“In just under a year we’ve grown from being exclusively Rumor to now wholesaling to 15 beautiful stores, which we’re super excited about,” Crickett said. “It feels pretty awesome to be able to share that with like-minded businesses.”

Crickett and Aveyard met as fashion design students at Wintec, bonding over both living in

Cambridge and being mums. In 2011 the pair took over the Rumor reigns, buying and running the store together. Likening working together to a marriage, Loaf & Coco was born in 2016.

“We wanted to create something that would work well with all body shapes, appeal to an array of ages and use different quality fabrics,” Aveyard said. “And all of it is completed in New Zealand, something we are particularly proud of.”

Victoria Square shed revealed

By Sophie Iremonger Ever wondered what’s inside the old, small shed on Victoria Square?

We’ve figured it out.

The contents are not too exciting, it’s now used as a storage shed for the Cambridge Cricket Club, but the history is fairly interesting.

Waipa District Council’s Heritage Items list records the shed as being built “circa 1920” as a “cookhouse”, used when Victoria Square was also a camping ground. It was equipped with a bench, two sinks

“In town on Wednesdays.”

“It’s curtains for you!”

with running water, and a gas cooker, for visitors staying at the square.

The earliest record of the shed being used by campers, found at the Cambridge Museum, is a December 16, 1926 newspaper clipping from the Waikato Independent, Cambridge’s first newspaper. It reads that the Cambridge Borough Council intended setting aside an area as a camping ground for tourists, and the council board “heartedly supported” using space at Victoria Square.

“Tourists would be permitted to camp in the domain, subject to application being first made to the gardener,” the newspaper read. A following issue, dated December 28, 1926, said, “Victoria Square has been used during the holidays as a camping site by a number of motorists, who have been pleased with the facilities offered.”

Other newspaper clippings at the Cambridge Museum provide an interesting history on Victoria Square, which was formerly known as the Government Acre until

the Queen’s Jubilee in 1897, when it was ploughed and re-grassed as a permanent place for recreation. Most of the towering trees at the square were planted in the 1930s, after hedges lining the square were removed, described as “an eyesore to anyone who takes a pride in the appearance of public property”.

Just a few years before the shed was built, Victoria Square was also the site where Mayor E. J. Wilkinson announced news straight from the Prime Minister, that World War I had ended,

which was met with “loud and prolonged cheers” according to the November 1918 newspaper.

The first cricket match in Cambridge was also held at the square, back to 1876, when a South Auckland army battalion travelled by steamboat along the Waikato River to play a Waikato battalion team. It seems quite fitting then that the historic shed is now used to house cricket gear.

Today, the old and dusty sinks remain, and the corrugated iron shed still stands, almost a century since it was built.

ARE YOU READY FOR WINTER?

Cutting winter energy costs

Wint er is normally the time when electricity bills spike, as homeowners endeavour to keep their houses warm and dry. Thanks to EECA Energywise, though, we have some tips for lowering those winter energy bills.

Heat is expensive, so save money by keeping the cold air out and the warm air in. Draw your curtains at dusk if you can, to keep the day’s heat in. Thermal-lined curtains will help, and if you can make sure curtains are wide enough to overlap the window frames and long enough to touch the floor. A pelmet at the top will also stop the cold air from seeping in.

Make sure your windows and doors properly fit their frames. Also, use draught-stopping tape around window and doors, and draught excluders or door snakes along the bottom of doors.

When heating your home, turn heaters off when you don’t need them – this includes heat pumps.

Set your heater’s thermostat at 18 to 20 degrees, that will be enough to heat your home without wasting

money getting it too hot. If you are spending a lot of the time in the lounge, for example, just heat that room and shut the door to keep the heat in. Remember, if you are using an unflued, portable gas heater, do not use it in a confined space – these heaters should only be used in well-ventilated areas and not where people are sleeping.

Keeping your home dry will also make it more efficient to heat.

Cooking, showering and doing the laundry all introduce moisture to your home.

The best way to eliminate this is with an externally-vented extraction fan. If you don’t have one of these, open windows during or after cooking, showering and washing up. If you can, dry your clothes outside, or in a dryer that’s vented to the outside, otherwise the moisture will end up in your home.

Where possible, air your home out a few times a day by opening doors and windows, to let moisture escape.

Sleeping with the bedroom window open a fraction will also help let

out the moisture that builds up overnight.

Plus having a cooler bedroom has been shown to improve sleep quality, with around 18 degrees considered ideal.

Air your bedding out, too, as it will absorb moisture over time. Air them outside when its sunny, and some people also recommend

not making your bed to prevent moisture being trapped under the duvet. For those who like a made bed, consider folding the duvet and laying it across the end of the bed instead.

For more tips and tricks to keeping your home warm and dry over winter, visit www.energywise.govt.nz for more information.

He and the team can design air conditioning and ventilation systems to suit both residential and commercial buildings of any size.

Servicing & Repair The service department at Eastside focuses on air conditioning and refrigeration, with some work in ventilation.

2018 – a year in colour Leamington Primary wins

By Wayne Good

With winter approaching, we are going to be faced with spending more hours indoors, so this is the perfect time to be thinking colour.

Trends are funny things really, because they are fleeting. I always work on the theory that regardless of trends and fads, if they don’t work for the person, you don’t have to have a bar of it.

Having said that, it is hard not to be influenced by what we are seeing in magazines, on television and, of course, retail stores.

What I do get tired and slightly bored with is seeing the amount of white that is splashed around, especially in new homes, not to mention ‘greige’ – beige and grey!

Is there nothing worse on a cold grey Waikato day to be sitting in an environment devoid of any colour and warmth? You see, warmth is a visual thing as well as a physical.

Every year, a company called Pantone introduces us to the colour of the year. This colour will present itself in fashion, interiors and even cars. Last year, the colour was forest green, with this year’s selection purple.

Neither of these colours really move me, however derivatives of them can be super.

At this time, I am having two sofas made for a client, in the most sumptuous, textured

purple/grape Velvet from Mokum, and it looks gorgeous. What a wonderfully warm take it is going to give the room.

Other colours hot for 2018 are blush pink, burgundy, and, rich yellow ochre is still hot.

I still really love turquoise and petrol blues as contrasting colours to the warmer tones.

Imagine, a few cushions in these tones or a warm cosy throw in velvet, fur or mohair to cuddle into while sitting in front of the fire. This would instantly give any very neutral room a lift.

Luxe textures are also hot for winter. Velvet and Fur will add textural interest to a room with your furniture, but how about extra texture underfoot – in the form of a textured rug or even a hide?

Mixed metals are also popular this year – copper, brass and rose gold, again warm tones.

Mix them up and use them as accessories with interesting fabrics to again enhance your room.

Lamps are also especially popular this year, as their light can add warmth to a space, particularly if there is a lot of cold/blue LED light. Choose stunning table or floor lamps, making sure the actual lamp you are choosing has a warm light. This will not only help to warm the actual feel of the room but can really add a welcoming atmosphere on a darker day.

I sincerely hope that my ideas and information will inspire you to embrace colour for 2018.

2018 Top Schools competition A team of students from Leamington Primary School took on the 2018 Top School Challenge on Sunday, April 8.

Held at Te Kowhai School, the Leamington students went up against teams from 18 other schools, taking part in problem solving challenges and collaborative games.

Their efforts paid off, taking out the title for Year 5 and 6 for 2018.

“Awesome teamwork and attitude helped them bring home the trophy,” one of the support parents said. “A big thanks to Mr Dan for all his effort and time supporting the team.”

Back row: Campbell Wrigley, Ricco Wilson, Mr Dan. Middle row: Gemma Vincent, Macy MacPherson (Vice Captain), Poppy Dodds (Captain), Erin Mikkelsen, Kate Cooper. Front row: Blake McKinnon, Sylvie Keightly, Elliot Doole, Kade Smith, Ben Ede.

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

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

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

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

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

Umbrellas Retractable Sails Shade Sails Outdoor Blinds

Awnings Customised Covers Interior Blinds

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Throw-together bakes are favourites in our house. Anything that doesn’t require creaming butter and sugar gets the tick.

So I’m sharing some of our current favourites.

Two of the bakes are prepared using the time-and-effort saving food processor.

Many traditional cakes can be adapted for

FRIDAY APRIL 20, 2018

with Jan Bilton

Family friendly bakes

this mincing-slicing-shredding-choppinggrating-kneading-dicing machine but generally they wont be quite as light and fluffy. When combining ingredients of different textures, start with the hardest and by the time the softest food is added, the harder ingredients will be mixed. An investment in the largest, most powerful

mixer you can afford is money well-spent.

Always use room-temperature ingredients — eggs will fluff up more readily and butter will combine more easily. If a batter looks as if it is curdling, add a little flour to bind it.

I’ve turned the traditional Anzac biscuits into bites — this way I don’t feel so guilty

for enjoying two with my coffee. The original biscuits were developed by the wives of New Zealand and Australian soldiers during World War 1. The combination of baked rolled oats, flour, golden syrup, butter and sugar stayed fresh and travelled without crumbling to the other side of the world.

EASY WALNUT SLICE

ANZAC BITES

Use plain, gluten-free biscuits, if preferred.

2 packets vanilla wine biscuits, finely crushed 1 cup finely chopped walnuts 1 1/2 cups desiccated coconut 2 teaspoons instant coffee granules 1 tablespoon boiling water 250g butter 375g sweetened condensed milk Coffee Icing: 2 cups sifted icing sugar 25g butter, melted 2 teaspoons coffee granules 1 tablespoon boiling water 1/2 cup chopped walnuts Lightly grease a 30cm x 22cm slice pan and line with baking paper.

Combine the biscuit crumbs, walnuts and coconut in a bowl.

Dissolve the coffee granules in the water. Place the butter, condensed milk and coffee in a microwave jug and cook on medium for about 2 minutes or until the butter has melted.

Stir well. Combine with the dry ingredients. Press into the slice pan. Chill.

Combine the icing sugar, butter and coffee dissolved in the water. Mix well. Spread over the base. Sprinkle with the walnuts. Leave to set. Cut into squares or bars and store in an airtight container. Makes about 24 pieces.

These temptations are also delicious sandwiched together with coffee icing – see the Easy Walnut Slice that follows.

1 cup each: plain flour, rolled oats, desiccated coconut 1/2 cup lightly-packed brown sugar 125g butter, chopped 2 tablespoons each: golden syrup, water 1/2 teaspoon baking soda Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line 2 large oven trays with baking paper.

Combine the flour, rolled oats, coconut and sugar in a large bowl.

Melt the butter and golden syrup in a saucepan on low heat.

Combine the water and baking soda, until smooth. Stir into the butter mixture. Pour into the rolled oats mixture, stirring until well combined.

Roughly roll level teaspoons of the mixture into balls and place on the trays about 3cm apart. Flatten with a fork. Bake for about 15 minutes, until golden and crisp. Cool on a wire rack. Makes about 52.

QUICK PLUM CAKE Other fruit such as pears, apples, firm kiwifruit or frozen berries could be used in place of the plums. The colour of the plums adds to the appeal.

Topping: 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/3 cup flour 1/2 cup each: brown sugar, chopped walnuts or pecans 50g butter Cake: 1 1/2 cups plain flour 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon each: baking soda, vanilla essence 3/4 cup sugar 125g butter, chopped 2 large eggs 1/2 cup milk 1 1/2 cups stoned and sliced red plums Preheat the oven to 180°C. Lightly grease and line a 20cm springform cake pan with baking paper.

To prepare the topping, place all the ingredients in a food processor and blend until the nuts are finely chopped. Place aside.

To prepare the cake, place all the ingredients — except the plums— in the food processor in the order listed and blend until well combined.

Pour into the prepared cake pan. Top evenly with the plums.

Sprinkle with the topping.

Bake for about 45 minutes, until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.

by Expressions Floral Design and Giftware, Absolute Coffee House, Kaye’s Hairdressers, other anonymous sponsors, and residents of Resthaven. Residents and some family members entered into the spirit of the occasion, resulting in a fun-filled celebration for all.

George Dingle, winner of the best men’s hat, also correctly guessed the weight of the cake, pictured here with Linda Gorham.

Marie Gibney won the award for best stylish hat at Resthaven’s Easter celebrations.
