Local athlete brings medals home after competing in Canada

By Viv Posselt Cambridge’s Vicki Fleming is back home with three age-group medals in hand – two gold and a bronze – after enjoying success at an international sporting event in Canada.

Vicki took part in three events at the 2017 ITU Multisport World Championship in Penticton, Canada, competing in the 45 -49 age group. She took gold in both the sprint distance duathlon and the aquathlon, and won bronze in the aqua bike event.

She also got 4th female overall in the sprint duathlon.

The sprint distance duathlon comprised a 5km run, 20km bike ride followed by a 2.5km run; while the aquathlon comprised a 1km lake swim and a 5km run.

The aqua bike is a relatively new event, comprising a 3km run followed by a gruelling 120km bike ride. Vicki had completed her first aqua bike at the national championships in

Auckland in March, and despite it being unfamiliar turf, she came in second.

The Swedish-born athlete was raised in Britain, and has been in New Zealand for only around five years. She has always been passionate about sport, and has amassed a raft of international and national winnings over the years.

“I was originally involved mainly in swimming and only took up triathlon about 12 years ago. I got into it because I saw it on TV and thought I come from a background in swimming at that level, and I do a little running. That’s how it started.

“All I needed to do was get into the biking,” she said. “I bought a bike so huge I could hardly get on to the thing, but then I came second in my first event. That was in 2005. I think I’m really average at all three triathlon disciplines, which makes me not too bad overall. Some triathletes have a particular strength in one

element of triathlon – it helps to be average at all three.”

Vicki has made her mark on the sport since getting into it in New Zealand.

She was the national aquathlon champion in 2013; the national standard distance duathlon champion in 2013/14; and the national standard distance triathlon champion in 2014/15. In the 2016/17 year, she became the national aquathlon champion, the national sprint triathlon champion and the national sprint duathlon champion.

Returning to the international arena, she competed in the 2015 ITU World Championships in Chicago, beating the oppressive summer heat to come 4th in the aquathlon and 12th in the triathlon.

Vicki has also raced professionally as a triathlete in the British national super series and has had five top 10 finishes on the pro tour of the USA. Vicki Fleming with the three medals she won in age-group events at the 2017 Multisport World Continued on page 2 Championships in Canada.

Local athlete brings medals home after competing in Canada Because most of those big international events take place in the northern hemisphere summer, heat is something athletes from around the world must factor in.

In Penticton, temperatures of around 35 degrees saw event organisers schedule the first events of the day as early as 7am.

In Vicki’s case, the international season comes at the end of a slow winter season’s training in this part of the world, which means she must work hard throughout winter to be in what she calls “A-grade condition” for the big global events.

With her on that trip was her husband Mark Fleming. The couple are both deeply involved in sports. Both are coaches at the Avantidrome, and their now-grown children are also athletically-blessed.

Vicki trains with groups in Tauranga and Hawke’s Bay. A raft of events around New Zealand are on her radar for the upcoming season, with a view to being completely match-fit for next year’s ITU World Championships on Australia’s Gold Coast.

It means keeping up that juggling act she has mastered so well – training and coaching throughout the day, as well as working as a podiatrist and sports massage therapist out of a Leamington practice.

There’s a compulsion to keep going.

“When I’m not training, I really don’t feel right at all – that’s what makes me push through whatever else is happening.”

Thumbs up to Judy from the Friday night hockey at St Peters. Thank you for all the organisation that goes into it and also to all the refs that give up their time too. Greatly appreciated.

Thumbs down to Waipa District Council for the massive delay in the Thornton Rd/Robinson St roundabout construction.

Thumbs up to all the veterinary nurses and doctors out there, you are the unsung heroes of our community and we cannot thank you enough for the work that you do.

Stephen Nelley I don’t think it’s a bad idea, but I don’t know how necessary it is, now given the change in traffic flows through there it seems to me that it would be a hell of a lot of money, but… roundabouts are really good, I’m just not a hundred per cent sure how necessary it is now, with the bypass in effect.

Craig Houston I think it’s a good idea to slow them down and make the access easier for the school and the Avantidrome, there have been some pretty horrific crashes out there. It’s a lot of money though. I can see both sides. I’m on the fence.

Iain and Gaylene Dysart Love the idea, yes we’re definitely for it! Even before the Avantidrome, for St Peter’s it was a nightmare getting out of there. We’ve said for years it’s what they’ve needed there. And even with the Expressway and everything in there now, it’s still going to be a better thing.

Karapiro Rowing hopes Diane’s inspirational example attracts more volunteers

Karapiro Rowing is holding its first open day this weekend aimed at swelling volunteer numbers before the season gets underway

By Viv Posselt Getting those numbers up will be critical to the smooth running of this season’s 11 planned regattas, says Karapiro Rowing’s recently installed volunteer manager, Lyn Allen.

In something of an unprecedented move, Karapiro Rowing is holding the open day on Saturday (September 10), from 1pm-4pm at the Don Rowlands Centre, aimed at anyone interested in giving some time to aiding one of Cambridge’s best-known

sporting disciplines.

“We need all sorts of people …anyone who can give us as much or as little time as they have available,” said Lyn. “The reality is that it takes me 64 volunteers to bring one boat down the water. That’s the absolute minimum. We’d struggle with anything less than 64.

“I basically run a standard regatta sitting at about 75 volunteers. For a big event, such as Maadi, we need around 120 volunteers across various areas of the operation.”

Lyn said volunteers could be matched with a niche that suited both their preferences and the number of hours they were able to give. Saturday’s open day will cover off what’s required.

Those coming along will be squired around the Karapiro Rowing environment and will be given a full overview of all the areas of operation, encompassing the start, aligner’s hut, boat drivers, office, judges, commentary, numbers hut, boat marshalling, cox weigh-in and catering.

Volunteer extraordinaire Diane Campbell taking a rare break to tell her story.

There will be question and answer sessions, and visitors will be taken through a mock race, complete with a working commentary box and the offer to ‘have a try’.

Lyn said she hoped to enlist the aid of enough volunteers to enable her to craft a roster. “That would mean there isn’t any great pressure on any one individual, and would give me steady cover through the season.

“The people we do have on the books really love it out here. It’s a great environment and we’re all just like one big family. There are also great opportunities for personal growth. There are even specific roles where people can obtain licences which would enable them to do the same thing anywhere in the world.”

She held up as inspiration one of the longest-serving volunteers at Karapiro Rowing – Diane Campbell.

Diane’s decision to step back after more than three decades will leave a gap, which Lyn said would be almost impossible to fill.

“I know what it is to be a volunteer, and how precious people’s time is, but what Diane gives is way above any volunteer I’ve ever known.

She is totally and utterly irreplaceable.”

Lyn said Diane has selflessly put in 14 to 15-hour shifts over the years, catering for upwards of 70 people for days on end… “with never a grumble”.

“I look at her in awe. She is one hell of a lady.”

Lyn knows she’s unlikely to net another Diane, but she’s hoping enough people come forward to allow her to allocate a couple of folk to Diane’s extensive role.

One hell of a woman

By Viv Posselt Karapiro Rowing volunteer manager Lyn Allen describes Diane Campbell as “one hell of a woman”. How right she is.

Diane has been volunteering with the organisation for well over 30 years, working her tail off and loving every minute of it.

Deceptively slight but with more than a touch of steel, this is a woman who quietly demonstrates the characteristics we would all want in a volunteer – she’s hard-working, reliable and a whole lot of fun to boot.

Diane says she knew nothing at all about rowing before she married regatta controller Murray Campbell many years ago.

During the 1978 World Rowing Championships at Lake Karapiro, she was helping her sister-in-law prepare the lunches when a message over the loudspeaker called for office volunteers who could type.

“Well, I could only do the one-fingered thing, but I applied and they accepted me. I did that for nine years before they computerised.”

Diane then shifted into the kitchen, and together with her late friend Lorraine Ganley, helped build up a full-scale catering operation that saw the officials and volunteers well fed and watered for years.

There were mornings when she’d be there at 5.30am, and nights she wouldn’t finish until well into the evening. She served up breakfasts, tea-time snacks and baked delights, lunches and catered dinners – all the while running around like a demon doing the ordering, menu planning, transporting the goods and more.

Long days were made longer by the set-up and take-down.

More often than not, there were rowing-oriented guests who stayed at the Campbell’s home during events. “But they were great, they’d all pitch in, so it didn’t all fall to me after a long day,” she said.

The friendships made and the fun she has had along the way have made it all worthwhile, but Diane says now that she’s “nearer to 75 than 70”, she is ready to slow it down a bit. She’s been trying to pull back for the past couple of years, and now is the time to make that happen.

“I will still be there volunteering, but I don’t want to have to do as much. It would be good to get enough people in to be able to work to a roster.

“I guess it’s kept me pretty fit – I’ve never really thought about it like that. And it’s been a lot of fun, an awful lot of banter flies around.”

Oh, and one other thing. Diane now knows a whole lot more about rowing!

Meg thanks mystery donor from Nepal

By Viv Posselt

“incredible” and said she was sorry that in the flurry of cooking sausages, she never got the man’s name. She hopes he will read this and know his donation is “helping some incredible people”.

Meg returned to Nepal at the end of August. She had spent a

fortnight there in early 2016 as a Leprosy Mew Zealand Mission youth advocate, and was so touched by the people that she vowed to return.

Those keen to follow her Nepalese journey can do so via a blog Meg has set up nzgirlinnepal.weebly.com.

Cambridge nurse Meg de Reus was deeply touched by all those who helped her return to Nepal recently, but the efforts of one man at her August 19 sausage sizzle really caught her off guard.

Writing a few words from Nepal’s Anandaban Hospital, where she is nursing for three months on a voluntary basis, Meg said: “I wanted to thank everyone that supported me with this by donating and purchasing a sausage. Also to the staff at Resthaven for helping me with my efforts…everyone’s support was amazing.

“I also want to say a huge thank-you to one person in particular. This man came to the sausage sizzle and told me about his love for Nepal. He told me he went to Nepal years ago and said there was just something special about the country and its people. He said he had always wanted to return.

He then gave me a lovely bunch of daffodils and a very generous donation. It was very kind of him.”

Meg de Reus, flanked by members of her family, during her Meg described his gift as fundraising sausage sizzle in mid-August.

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.

Waipa District Council and New Zealand Transport Agency want improvements at the popular intersection that provides access to the Avantidrome, St Peter’s School, the Te Awa River Ride track, a bike skills park, a café and a gym. To do so, they are recommending a large roundabout be installed.

If it goes ahead, the roundabout component is estimated to cost between $3-4 million funded by Waipa District Council and New Zealand Transport Agency.

Around 10,000 vehicles pass through the intersection every day and service delivery manger Barry Bergin says safety is the number one concern.

The intersection has seen 12 accidents over the last five years, including one fatal accident.

“The high speed traffic in the area means it can be dangerous for anyone using the intersection. Pair that with increasing traffic demands and predicted growth and it’s clear we need to provide a safer intersection that works for all road users.”

Council and New Zealand Transport Agency’s preferred option is a roundabout as it

would cope with peak traffic and, based on experience elsewhere, would result in far fewer serious incidents.

Road safety experts have also recommended pedestrian refuge points to allow walkers and cyclists to cross the road safely.

“Building pedestrian refuge points means people walking and on bikes can pause safely in the centre of the road before crossing to the other side. We could also add pedestrian controlled traffic lights at a

later date as traffic increases but before we finalise anything we want to know what the community thinks.”

Other options being considered include an underpass and pedestrian controlled traffic lights (like those installed near Williams St in Cambridge).

Council is also seeking feedback on what should be in the centre of the roundabout – planting, a feature garden, specimen trees, a sculpture or lighting feature.

A show quite unlike the rest at Gaslight Theatre

By Sophie Iremonger

Dave assures show-goers that this isn’t just a play for computer The Gaslight Theatre’s latest geeks. “You don’t need to show, “Breaking the Code”, understand the mathematics provides a riveting insight and the computers and all into the life of mathematical that side of things, because genius Alan Turing, a hugely it’s a human story, it’s about influential figure from history his relationships, how he dealt who was not only the forefather with situations, what drove him, of computer science and the philosophical questions he artificial intelligence, but also had…like how he says, ‘can a a key figure in bringing an end mind exist outside of a human to World War II through his body’. That’s really what’s instrumental work in breaking driving him all the way through.” the German Enigma code.

Dave adds the real beauty of The play follows the 2015 the play is that it leaves viewers film release of “The Imitation with a sense of wonder and even Game”, which focused heavily greater questions about life itself. on the mathematical side of Hamilton actor Alexander Turing’s life with his breaking of Norris, who starred in the the Enigma Code. But this play, Gaslight Theatre’s previous whilst covering Turing’s work at shows “Out of Order” and “The the Bletchley Park codebreaking 39 Steps”, says he was both centre, encompasses more of daunted and delighted to be Turing’s personal life, including a part of another amazing his childhood, his outlook on Cambridge production, this life, and the gripping drama and time acting in the lead role of conflict that came with being Alan Turing. a homosexual during the early “I’ve really enjoyed the 20th century. atmosphere at the Gaslight “It’s a different approach and Theatre, the people, being a different aspect of Turing’s part of the show…I actually story,” explains the director, auditioned for the role of Ron Cambridge local Dave Stearns.

Miller, so I was amazed that I “I always try to pick plays that got this part, it’s been awesome, are well written, and this is and daunting too!” wonderfully written. There are Norris spent a lot of time all these little seeds throughout researching his character and it that all come together, I like creates an excellent real-life that sort of clever story.” persona of Alan Turing, with the

subtle mannerisms and manner of speaking quite recognisable to the genius himself.

His supporting cast provides an excellent balance of different elements, from humour and wisdom to debauchery and drama. Turing’s mother, played

by Cambridge actress Sara Young, provides a good deal of light-hearted humour in amongst what is a rather gripping and intriguing drama, evoking chuckles from the crowd throughout the play. And in a simple twist of fate, she even shares the same first name as the real-life Sara Turing!

“That makes it easy doesn’t it!” Sara laughs. “I really liked the play,” she adds, “I think it’s just so tragic that the man’s life was cut so short, I wonder where we could be now in terms of advances if he had still been alive, I could imagine a conversation between him and Stephen Hawking!

“And then there’s the question of, did he kill himself or not, and my character firmly believes that he did not, it’s not the sort of thing he would do.

So that was really interesting to me.

“I was delighted to get the role.”

The real-life characteristics of the people portrayed in the play seem to really shine through,

and the relationships between characters are an intriguing focus throughout. Viewers tend to hang onto every word of their conversations; at times you get a good chuckle, and at others you’re simply glued to the storyline.

One audience member said, “I’ve never seen anything quite like it.”

Another Cambridge actor in the play, John Kelleher, plays the role of Dillwyn Knox, a member of the code-breaking team at Bletchley, who was somewhat of a mentor to Turing during his time there. He provides heart-warming guidance and

advice to Turing when it comes to his personal strifes, giving perspective and common sense as well as a great sense of humour. At one point he says to Turing, “even when all scientific questions have been answered, the problems of life remain unanswered”.

Towards the end of the play, Turing himself (Alexander Norris) says; “In the end it’s not breaking the code that matters, it’s where you go from there, that’s the real problem.”

The play is quite simply a brilliant story with a range of interesting and insightful elements to enjoy. It is rated

R, and not suitable for young children. The show continues this week with performances taking place this Friday and Saturday, September 8 and 9 – with general admission or dinner-and-show options available – and a matinee performance on Sunday.

It’s all happening at the Gaslight Theatre, a beautiful historic theatre in Cambridge which provides an intimate and captivating setting for any play, particularly with this gripping and thought-provoking drama.

Tickets are available at PaperPlus Cambridge or online at eventfinda.co.nz.

Giant sheep fairs at Ohaupo For nearly 50 years, Ohaupo was the centre of the sheep and cattle trade for the Waipa and Waikato counties, with fairs (auctions) being held in the small township’s extensive sale yards located alongside the Main Trunk Line.

The earliest known Ohaupo sheep fair was in 1876 and the last was held in the early 1920s, when stock numbers available for large-scale fairs dwindled and sales became uneconomic.

Ohaupo was well suited for the sheep fairs, as it was centrally located for most buyers in the upper North Island and easily accessed by rail, with much of the stock put up for sale entrained from Hawke’s Bay and Wairarapa.

A traveller on the Main Trunk Line once commented, “At Ohaupo there is evidence of an important farming district in the extensive cattle and sheep sale yards, and shunting and adjusting of trucks filled with sheep”.

The Ohaupo sheep fairs fetched excellent market prices. Dalgety and Co. held a sheep fair in Ohaupo during February 1914 where, “bidding was spirited throughout the sale, and every pen offered was sold under the hammer. Wethers and aged ewes were in extra good demand and sold at advanced rates”.

Prices realised were: “4-tooth wethers, 15s 4d to 16s 4d; 2-tooth wethers, 14s 3d to 15s 8d; Fat ewes, 14s

to 16s; Woolly lambs, 8s 10d to 10s; Shorn lambs, 8s 11d to 11s 4d; Small lambs, 6s 1d to 6s 8d; 2-tooth ewes, 13s 9d; 4-tooth ewes, 17s; Ffm [fresh full mouth] ewes, 12s 4d to 13s 2d; Fm [full mouth] ewes, 11s 9d to 12s 6d; Broken mouth ewes and culls, 7s 6d to 10s 6d.”

Up to 20,0 00 sheep are p the 1896 Ohaupo sh ictured at eep fair.

Sheep farmers and agents attended from as far afield as the King Country, Northland, Bay of Plenty and Taupo, as well as neighbouring districts. In the heyday of Ohaupo sheep fairs, as many as 20,000 sheep were sold.

The Ohaupo Railway Station was recognised as having the most sheep traffic, and the second most cattle traffic, of any station between Auckland and Palmerston North. New Zealand Railways benefitted hugely.

The Te Awamutu Magistrate’s Court was also kept busy prosecuting sheep farmers for “exposing sheep for sale at the Ohaupo yards whilst being affected with lice”. Court fines mostly varied from £1 to £2, with a maximum fine of £10.

We give gifts to children who find themselves in situations out of their control, regardless of where they come from, what

they believe in or what country they are born into.

Operation Christmas Child also supports five New Zealand organisations, two of which are in the Waikato.

For all the shoe-box-fillers out there, pre-printed shoe boxes are now available at Cambridge Baptist Church or Paper Plus Cambridge, Victoria Street. Or order boxes online at www.samaritanspurse.org.nz.

Cambridge sailor competing on world stage

By Sophie Iremonger Cambridge sailor Micah Wilkinson is back on the world stage this week taking part in the Nacra 17 World Championship (September 5 10) in La Grande Motte, France.

Having finished with the New Zealand team in a close second place at the Youth America’s Cup in July, following a world-stage win alongside New Zealand team mate Olivia Mackay at last year’s Foiling Generation World Final, the 21-year-old entered the competition this week with promising potential to bring home gold, though a delay in receiving his competing boat did provide an element of frustration.

Micah said his focus was purely on sailing during the lead up to the competition, taking part in a four-month tour of Europe in preparation

for the event. It’s safe to say the Cambridge High School graduate is full of potential, having trained in Yachting NZ’s “Fast Track” programme and already with world-stage wins under his belt.

His New Zealand team mate Olivia Mackay, from Napier, joins him at the Nacra 17 Worlds this week, and both have shown a keen drive to succeed on the marina waters of La Grande Motte. The pair had just four days to practice on their competition boat, a new foiling Nacra, having only received it on Friday September 1.

They first spent two days putting it together, with just a brief amount of time to test it out before lining up for the first round of racing this Tuesday.

The older New Zealand pair also competing at the Nacra 17 Worlds, Gemma Jones and Jason Saunders, who placed fourth at the Rio Olympics, were

able to get their Nacra in June, and helped the younger Kiwi pair assemble theirs.

Micah said he and Olivia had been “sitting on the sideline” watching the other Kiwi pair prepare in their Nacra, and had been practicing in other sailing boats in the lead up to the competition, but it’s just not quite the same as practising in their own competition boat.

“We have learned a lot (from Gemma and Jason) but nothing is the same as sailing the boat,” said Micah.

Their successful experiences on the world stage so far suggest it won’t take much for the young Kiwi pair to catch up on the new Nacra, a vital step in their ambitions to win gold in Japan in 2020. Though a little disgruntled from losing precious practice time on the new Nacra, Micah said his team mate Olivia sails “extremely well” when frustrated, and

felt positive heading into the competition.

The pair’s biggest competitors are also their allies, Gemma Jones and Jason Saunders, who are also vying for the single

Kiwi-pair spot at the Tokyo Olympics. The two crews will spend the coming summer training alongside a handful of the world’s top combinations in Auckland as they prepare for

the next Olympic round.

Keep an eye out in next week’s issue to see how Cambridge’s top sailing prospect finishes in the Nacra 17 Worlds.

On the half hour, striker Callum MacLeod stretched the lead to 4-0 with a coolly taken goal, stepping round Rotorua ‘keeper Andrew Gibbs.

title on the day, meaning a win or draw against Te Awamutu in the next round will confirm the Premiership – or if Waikato Unicol and Matamata Swifts drop points, the title still comes to Cambridge.

Cambridge’s Championship title-winning match was found in typical fashion – two goals from leading goalscorer James Cakebread and a deserved clean sheet from a hard-working

defence. The match was played in difficult, wet conditions but Cambridge moved the ball about well, forcing Matamata Swifts to chase. Teenager Cakebread scored twice in the first spell, taking his tally for the season to 16 – almost a goal per game.

In the second half, Cambridge kept control of enough possession to starve the visitors of chances and eventually the

final whistle went, confirming the title had been won. The win completed an eight-match unbeaten run which had taken the Reds clear of its rivals in a closely-fought competition.

Cambridge’s 14 wins and five draws from 19 competition games means the side can play its final fixtures (against Te Awamutu and Waikato Unicol) knowing the results are merely of academic interest.

Cambridge last won the cup in 2008 and were runners-up in 2013, while Otorohanga were runners-up in 2010.

The Cambridge Football Club hosted last year’s finals day, drawing more than 800 visitors for the two games, and is expecting a large crowd this year, especially with a local team appearing in the final.

Entry is free.

King’s winning streak finishes against World No.1

By Sophie Iremonger Cambridge’s squash superstar Joelle King finished her winning streak at the 2017 J.P. Morgan China Open with a loss to world No.1 Nour El Serbini of Egypt during the semifinal round on Sunday, not before making her mark in a string of stellar performances at the competition in Shanghai.

It started on Friday with the defeat of one of her main rivals, world no. 4 Laura Massaro, across four games.

The first game saw King finish with a dominant 11-0 defeat before she doubled her advantage, winning 11-6, 7-11 and 11-4 in the preceding games.

“I felt good out there, Laura is no mug, she won here last year, so to come out and win in four is really positive,” an elated King said on Friday, having lost to Massaro three times in the past year.

The day after dethroning the English 2016 tournament champion, King went on to score another big win at the US$100,000 competition with the defeat of eight-time World Champion Nicol David (Malaysia).

King, who had fallen victim to David in all ten of their past encounters stretching back to 2010, twice came from behind continuing the form and fluidity that had carried her to a 3-1 victory over Massaro, this time out muscling David in a high quality 66-minute encounter across five games to finish with scores of 8-11, 11-8, 4-11, 11-7 and 11-5.

It was David who started brighter, finding her rhythm early on to take the opening game before King began to open up the court, varying length and pace to force David onto the defensive foot and level.

She continued the process through the third and fourth games as World No.11 David fought back to force a

decider, but King looked the stronger player as she brought the game to a close with a convincing six-point lead.

“It’s been a while since I’ve played as well as this so I’m trying to enjoy the moment – to beat two legends of the game back-to-back is a great achievement,” King said following the game on Saturday.

“I had never beaten Nicol before and I was behind twice there. I’m pleased with the way I managed the mental side of the game and stayed tough in there and it’s nice to finally get that win over her.

“But it’s just pleasing to be playing some of my best squash. It’s all well and good to get those two wins but there are two more matches to come to win the tournament and I’ll need to refocus to make sure I’m at my best again tomorrow.”

The women’s semi-final paired King against world No.1 Nour El Serbini, finishing with a loss for the Kiwi after

five straight games of 12-10, 11-4 and 11-6 over 29 minutes. The physical play and speed of King around the court was nullified by El Serbini’s use of precise placement.

The men’s side of the competition was also dominated by a World No. 1 player from Egypt, Ali Farag, who won the men’s semi final over Kiwi player Paul Coll.

WHAT’S THE CONCERN? The current intersection is not working; it does not provide a safe entry and exit point for motorists and does not cater for pedestrian and cycling access. More specifically, the major concerns are: • The high speed traffic in the area means it is unsafe for pedestrians and cyclists trying to cross Cambridge Road.

• The current layout of the intersection and mix of high-speed traffic along Cambridge Road means there is a risk of fatal and serious crashes.

• The current layout of the intersection cannot effectively deal with more traffic and predicted growth.

Since 2012 there have been 12 crashes within 300m of the intersection.

One of these was fatal, involving a vehicle turning right out of Hanlin Road.

We’re planning to b at the intersection o Cambridge Roads t

Cambridge is growing and the intersection needs to be improved to provide a safer option for all users.

HOW DO WE FIX IT? We need a safe intersection that works for everyone. We need an intersection that: • Is safe and self-explanatory for all users.

• Is in the right place.

• Caters for pedestrians and cyclists.

• Can cope with the increased traffic that we are expecting in the future.

• Will provide access to areas of potential growth.

TO CAMBRIDGE

We’ve looked at a number of options to change the intersection.

Our short-listed options are: • Improve the current T-intersection.

• Improve the current T-intersection and add traffic lights.

• Build a roundabout. This is our preferred option.

TO HAMILTON

WHY A ROUNDABOUT? We believe a roundabout is the best solution because it: • Improves safety.

• Can cope with the increased traffic that we are expecting in the future.

• Is flexible and has the capacity to manage changes in demand and areas of potential growth.

• Will create an even traffic flow when events are on.

We also know that roundabouts result in fewer deaths and serious injuries than traffic lights or T-intersections.

HAVE YOUR SAY WHAT ABOUT PEDESTRIANS AND CYCLISTS?

WELCOME TO CAMBRIDGE The latest growth strategy shows Cambridge Road will become progressively more urban with residential development and footpaths on both sides.

This means the Hanlin and Cambridge Road intersection will become the new gateway to the Cambridge residential area. We want to ensure the roundabout is a welcoming entrance point to Cambridge.

One of the ways we can do this is by adding a feature to the centre of the roundabout.

We could plant it with grass, gardens or specimen trees or we could add feature art that represents Cambridge as a town.

Here are some examples of what we could do in the centre of the roundabout.

SCULPTURE

TREE

FEATURE GARDEN

LIGHTING DISPLAY

Cars aren’t the only way people travel – we need to think about pedestrians and cyclists. We need people to feel safe and comfortable accessing the facilities in the area. We’ve looked at a range of options to cater for people walking and riding bikes. Here are the options: • Do nothing – cross when and where you want. No cost.

• Install a pedestrian refuge. This could have traffic lights added as pedestrian and cyclist demand grows. This is our preferred option as it allows the most flexibility to tailor a solution. Approximate cost of $50,000.

• Install traffic lights – stopping traffic to let cyclists and pedestrians cross the road. Approximate cost of $350,000.

• Build an underpass to separate cyclists and pedestrians from traffic.

Approximate cost of $750,000 - including lighting, signage, retaining walls and ramps.

Here are some examples of what we could do to cater for cyclists and pedestrians.

PEDESTRIAN REFUGE

Preferred option: build a pedestrian refuge with the option to add traffic lights when demand requires.

We could install pedestrian controlled traffic lights.

We could build an underpass to separate pedestrians and cyclists from the traffic.

Which option do you think is best? Use the feedback form to tell us.

build a roundabout of Hanlin and to improve safety

CAMBRIDGE NEWS | 17

THE FACTS: The intersection provides access to the Avantidrome and St Peter’s School. Around 10,000 vehicles pass through there every day and this number significantly increases when events are on in the area. It’s also an access point for the Te Awa River Ride track, the bike skills park, a café and a gym.

ONCE A SAFER INTERSECTION IS BUILT, WOULD YOU WALK OR RIDE YOUR BIKE AROUND THE AREA?

WHILE WE’RE HERE

Yes

Upgrading this intersection gives us the opportunity to look at improving other areas at the same time. For example: • There may be areas of land left over that we could use for car parking.

• We could improve access to properties, for example, the entrance to St Peter’s School.

• We could improve the layout of Hanlin Road.

• We could provide shelter and parking for the bus stop facility.

WHO’S PAYING AND WHAT HAPPENS NOW? Council and NZ Transport Agency are working together to jointly fund the project.

But first, we need to determine the best outcome for the community and design a great intersection. With your feedback we will present back to Council later this year and the project, funding and construction date will be prioritised in the Waipa District Council 10-Year Plan and the Regional Land Transport Plan.

Powerful story from Vietnam War refugee at Women’s Club meeting

Submitted by the Cambridge Women’s Club

Hope and possibility – these are two of the most powerful words in any language.

The words themselves evoke deep empowering emotion when you really contemplate their meanings together. Yet one without the other is futile – for without hope, there is no possibility.

Pisey Leng was invited along as the Guest Speaker for

August’s Cambridge Women’s Club meeting. Normally there’s lots of laughter and giggles, but this time we all walked away from the evening, with a profound sense of gratefulness to be born and live in a country that allows us to be free.

April 17th, 1975 Khmer Rouge won control of the Cambodian Capital – Phnom Penh. Pisey was only eight at the time, and that day changed the course of her life forever. For the next

21 years, Pisey existed only to survive. Overnight she went from a middle-class lifestyle to a refugee of the war. Her story of survival was inspirational. Pisey spoke so beautifully, about one of the most powerful stories you could ever hear. You were captivated by her every word.

Her refugee journey eventually ended in Hamilton New Zealand, but her life journey still continues. Pisey’s favourite quote is from Mark

Twain, “the two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.” Pisey found her ‘why’in 2015 she wrote a book “The Wisdom Seeker” – she said, “to change the world. It’s about hope and possibility”. She didn’t want to convey a tragic story, yet one of inspiration, hope and the will to survive. “Life is a beautiful journey. Life has taught me so much, including compassion and forgiveness.”

If you ever get the opportunity to hear Pisey speak, your time would be an investment. She is a strong, courageous, powerful woman, even though she is tiny in size!

The Cambridge Women’s Club is a social group, perfect for women of all ages, new to town wanting to meet friends or long term residents looking for an enjoyable night out. We meet monthly over a meal and drink and there is always

added entertainment, from fun social activities that leave you in giggles to empowering guest speakers like Pisey.

Our next get-together is Monday, September 11, 6pm.

If you’d like to join us contact CWC Committee Member, Amy Banks 021 1231 778 or for more information check out our Rocketspark website www. cambridgewomensclub.co.nz.

Thanks, Rocketspark!

Dresden adventure shared at Lyceum House

Joan Burford, Lyceum House President thanking Annette Matthews for her very interesting talk on Dresden.

Submitted by Lyceum House Cambridge

The guest speaker at our latest coffee morning was Annette Matthews, a long-standing member of the club, who spoke about her recent trip to Dresden where she stayed with her granddaughter who has lived there for two years.

Annette travelled with her daughter and after enduring a very long flight, including 18 hours in transit in Guangzhou, they arrived in Amsterdam before travelling onto Dresden

ONE CALL

via Prague.

Dresden sustained heavy damage during WW2 and it was 45 years before the rebuilding began.

Many buildings were restored using donations sent from all around the world.

Annette shared some of her impressions of the city with us and combined her talk with a slide show.

Driving on the autobahns was a new experience with all cars being less than 10 years old. It costs 1000 Euros to obtain

a driver’s licence! There is an excellent tram service and it was an easy place to walk around.

The Meissen porcelain factory is in Dresden and there were some beautiful pieces available in the shops.

A popular underground restaurant had a Renaissance theme complete with battle axes on display and people wearing long gowns.

Lyceum President, Joan Burford thanked Annette for her interesting talk, which was enjoyed by all.

60s Up and the chocolate factory Submitted by 60s Up Cambridge

Foodie Tour, August 24 This bus trip was very popular and had been booked out for weeks, with 50 members ready and raring to go. But what we hadn’t counted on was the terrible flu virus running rampant through Cambridge.

Robin answered call after call from our members too ill to come on our trip, luckily we had a backup list.

Finally, Thursday arrived, a lovely sunny day and the rest of our members fit and healthy.

Our first stop was Donovan’s Chocolates in Hamilton. Once

inside, the manager gave us a talk on the making of their delicious chocolates and then handed around samples to taste.

In the café and shop we were all able to stock up on bags and boxes of delicious chocolates — great for all the chocoholics.

Back to the bus and on to the Cock & Bull Old English Pub for lunch and because it was preordered our meal was served in minutes. A big thanks to the staff for their wonderful service.

Dessert, tea, coffee and drinks finished our meal.

Back to the bus again, this time we headed to Couplands Bakery factory shop.

The wonderful smell of bread baking greeted us as we entered the shop and we were amazed by the huge number of goodies displayed in front of us.

Much later, with very large shopping bags full of cakes, pies, bread and cookies we staggered back on to the bus, all very delighted with our purchases.

George, our bus driver, took us for a tiki tour around Hamilton’s new subdivisions and motorway systems, also the new dry port that’s being built.

Another wonderful, successful day with our members and big thanks to George our driver for delivering us back home safely.

Flavours

with Jan Bilton

Spring is nature’s way of saying, “let’s party!” – actor Robin Williams Spring heralds the arrival of strawberries and asparagus; rhubarb shoots healthy red stalks and it’s the official start to the whitebait season. All are excellent reasons to celebrate.

Celebrate Spring

Rhubarb is available all year round, but in spring it flourishes. The inner part of the stalk cooks very quickly — the tougher outer stalk takes longer. It pays to strip or string any tough stalks so they cook more evenly.

Rhubarb is often sold with leaves attached as they help prevent the

stalks wilting. However, the leaves should be discarded as they contain toxic amounts of oxalic acid.

Freshly picked asparagus has the best flavour. Buds opening on the stalk signal that the spear was picked too late and could be tough. Conversely, if the white ends extend too far up

the stem, then the asparagus has been picked too early. I like to store asparagus wrapped in wet paper towels in the refrigerator.

A few years ago strawberries were a summer fruit. Now sweet luscious New Zealand strawberries hit the market in spring. A special treat.

Rhubarb & Strawberry Coppi A coppi is a rustic, free-form, Italianstyle pie. To ensure the butter is cold, pop it in the freezer for 15 minutes before using.

in plastic wrap. Chill for at least one hour.

To bake the coppi, first preheat the oven to 220°C. Remove the dough from the refrigerator.

Pastry Crust: 1 1/4 cups plain flour Combine the strawberries and 1/4 cup ground almonds rhubarb in a bowl. Add the sugar, 1 tablespoon sugar stirring gently until it dissolves. pinch salt On a lightly floured sheet of baking 125g very cold butter, diced paper, roll the dough into a round 3 tablespoons icy water about 33cm in diameter. Pinch any Filling: 400g strawberries, hulled and rough edges together. Pile the filling sliced in the centre to within 5cm of the 4 cups 3cm rhubarb pieces, about edge. Fold the edges of the pastry 400g up and over the fruit, squeezing 4 tablespoons sugar together any gaps or folds.

Topping: 1 egg, lightly beaten Brush the pastry top with the egg.

Remove from the heat and add the strawberries. Mix carefully. Cover and stand for at least one hour. Stir occasionally.

Great heights and neon lights for Waikato Rivertones Members of the Waikato Rivertones chorus have set their sights high and are working hard to achieve their best ever score on the international stage in Las Vegas this October.

This dynamic womens’ singing group made of members from Cambridge and around the Waikato and Bay of Plenty, will be representing New Zealand at the 71st Annual Convention and Competition of Sweet Adelines International in Las Vegas, Nevada from October 9-14, 2017.

Sweet Adelines International is a worldwide organisation of women singers committed to advancing the musical artform of barbershop harmony through education and performance, one of the largest singing organisations for women spanning 15 nations.

It promotes friendship and a sense of belonging among all women. Close to 8000 women are expected to attend the convention at the MGM Grand in October, and the Waikato

Rivertones will be competing against 33 other choruses in the semi-finals.

Co-directors Lynn Jamieson and Kate Sinclair are proud of the way the chorus has risen to the challenge. This will be their fifth time overseas with the most recent trip being to Denver in 2012.

As part of the build-up and preparation for Las Vegas the Waikato Rivertones will be performing at the Gallagher Academy of Performing Arts, Waikato University, Hamilton on Saturday, September 16 at 7.30pm.

Entitled “Great Heights and Neon Lights”, the concert will feature the Rivertones performing their competition songs as well as their tribute to Jean Batten – the Greta Garbo of the skies – one of the many strong, pioneering New Zealand women who inspire us all to reach further and fly higher, persevering against the odds.

The show on September 16 also includes special guests

CHORD 5 (from the recent Naked Choir television series), world-class soprano Blaire White, award-winning Elvis impersonator Steve Fitter, plus loads of other local talent.

Tickets are $27 for adults or $17 for seniors and students, available online at www.waikato.ac.nz/academy/ whats-on or by phoning 0800 383 5200.

Ticket giveaway Cambridge News has a double pass to give away to this Hamilton concert. Just email your interest to Sophie: sophie@cambridgenews.nz with the subject line: Rivertones.

Full name and phone number must be included, entries to be received no later than 5pm, Tuesday, September 12.

Trifecta of awesome for Telfords in Italy with first win Being given the opportunity to race the Gabro Racing Team Aprilia Tuono 1000cc motorcycle in Italy was an honour in itself according to the local Telford racing team, who recently completed latest the Mugello Circuit round of the Italian 1000 Superbike Championship.

Then to place in pole position of the qualifying round was just “the best feeling” for superbike racer Dillon Telford and his girlfriend and mechanic Jo Taylor.

On top of that, the local racing team went on to not only achieve the “best lap” award, but also won the race.

“It’s is just the trifecta of awesome,” said the racing duo, who had simply been aiming to get inside the top 20 during the previous round. The Telford team have sacrificed everything to get to where they are to date, having sold nearly all of their possessions to help fund their motor racing dream of taking part in the prestigious Italian 1000 Superbike Championship.

“To achieve these results makes the hard times all worth it,” said Dillon. “To look back just a couple of months, to the cross roads of our season, and almost going home due the lack of a funds, it was a stressful and hard time for us both, having to pull out from the Italian KRT Team, due to not being able to pay for their support and help was a hard call. We budgeted and guesstimated how cheaply

we could compete the rest of the season, then put it out to the public.”

The team were able to rally just enough support from sponsors back home to continue their journey. “We can’t thank everyone enough for their support and donations to help us continue, and we thank Carl Cox Motorsport so much for opening the door to us. We share this win with you all!”

The Mugello circuit is a tough track for racers and their bikes – it’s hard on tires, clutches, engines and the body with an undulating 5.2km-length lap, totalling 52kms over a ten lap race – being raced in 38 degree summer heat!

Competition was tough, with the Kiwi team being relatively new to the track compared to most of their competitors who had raced it many times. But the Telford racer was able to put in some good laps on new rubber during the first qualifying round, taking 0.02 second lead over the class with the help of their Aprilia Tuono 1000cc motorcycle and support from the Gabro Racing Team. Five hours later, in cooler evening temperatures, the second qualifying round saw Dillon clock a few more good laps and improve his personal best time from the morning, and with a lead of 1.42 seconds over second position on the grid. “Leaving us with pole position,” explained Jo. Continued on page 26

Dillon Telford takes the chequered flag for his first victory in Italy.

Josh’s Pick of The Week Telfords get first win in Italy Mickey Thompson ATZp3 Tyre Continued from page 25

Get out of the Bog and on the Road!

“That being said, as any racer knows, pole position is nothing if you don’t get a good start, but Dillon is generally good at starts and this was no different.”

Although a few riders tried to muscle him out in turn one, Dillon, having learnt a few things from being in Italy, played along, and finally his opponent decided to brake first, allowing Dillon to out brake him and scrub off the excess speeds to lead the first lap.

“Dillon knew his job now, head down and focus on consistency and building a lead,” said Jo.

Without having to leave his comfort zone, Dillon managed to produce great lap times and by the 10th lap had a massive 4.7 second lead to take the victory.

“To stand on the podium that many world champions have placed their feet and helmets on is an indescribable feeling,” said Dillon, “also to receive two trophies and hear the New Zealand national anthem play and echo across the Mugello stadium seats was a very proud moment.”

“Although Dillon blamed the Mugello dust for the tear in his eye!” said Jo.

• A true 50/50 tyre with full off-road side-biters increasing off-road capabilities.

The Free Man

A beautifully filmed essay about grief, guilt, lies, loss and forgiveness in the between-wars era. We have read so many brilliant reviews about this film and here is one of them…“I was not expecting to be overwhelmed by one of the very finest, most beautiful movies I have ever had the good fortune to see. To begin with, this movie repeatedly throws you for a loop. You are sure you know where it's going – or at least I was sure – only to discover that you were wrong and the characters have something else in mind, suffice to say that this movie is full of surprises. It is also full of great acting. Understated, yes, but very great nonetheless. And the photography, often black and white, is wonderful. It's hard to write much about this movie without spoiling. I will close by saying that I sat entranced through the whole thing and that is no exaggeration. If you enjoy great acting beautifully photographed and directed, you will love this movie.” ✶✶✶✶ “STUNNING… A SUMPTUOUS PERIOD WAR DRAMA”. THE GUARDIAN. “RICHLY IMAGINED AND SUPERBLY ASSEMBLED”.

HOLLYWOOD REPORTER.

FRI: 1.20, 0 88.15PM 15PM - SAT SAT: 33.15, 15 7.25PM SUN: 1.25, 5.40PM - MON: 1.20, 8.00PM TUESDAY: 1.10, 7.45PM (R16)

At once a white-knuckle adventure film and ruminating spiritual inquiry, Fraser’s doco follows Kiwi world-champion freestyle skier Jossi Wells as he travels and trains with The Flying Frenchies, a troupe of extreme-sport eccentrics who specialise in an array of vertiginous stunts.

Their escapades include base-jumping, wing-suit flying and ‘slack-lining’, the latter of which Wells takes up under their guidance. With no experience whatsoever, Wells begins learning to cross a rope suspended between two trees (a metre from the ground) and works his way up to traversing the perilous peaks of the French Alps. As Wells trains to liberate his body and mind from resistance, Fraser uses his quest as a jumping-off point to explore the psychology of life lived on the edge.

Like a Red Bull sports movie by way of Werner Herzog, Fraser’s film frames the action as existential metaphor: for these daredevils, toying with the void is not just recreation but a philosophical position. It’s in this realm that The Free Man walks its own tightrope, balancing contemplation and visceral thrill.

Supplying the latter is a surfeit of heart-stopping footage from the Flying Frenchies back catalogue: human catapulting, basejumping from moving vehicles, and in one terrifying sequence, a slack-rope walk sans harness. Not since Man on Wire has the psyche of the adrenaline-junkie been plumbed so grippingly.
