Letters to the Editor

From the Editor

Well it’s my first week in the swivelly chair, and it’s been all go in the Cambridge News newsroom. Our Sophie took one for the team on Sunday and attended the Meet the Candidates political rally at the St Andrew’s Hall. You can read all about that on page 3 .

I hope everyone will get out to vote on Saturday, because as the saying goes ‘if you don’t vote, you can’t complain’. Plus, September 19 was Suffrage Day – 124 years since Kiwi women secured the right to vote in general elections - so those of us of a female persuasion have even more of a reason to head along to the ballot box.

This week we’ve also had an anti-theft fog cannon installed at the Z service station, the Leamington Colour Blast on

Saturday, and So. Much. Rain. I don’t know if anyone out there is building an Ark, but if you are can you please contact us – we’d love to do a story on it.

I really hope you enjoy the paper this week, there are a lot of interesting things going on in our town and we have plenty to celebrate.

Have a great week, everyone.

Dear Editor, As we celebrate Suffrage Day (September 19), we remember the trailblazing women of this country who affected legislation and changed the face of society. And which is not out of the capability of any New Zealand woman who, unaware, perseveres in doing what they consider to be the right thing by their fellow human beings. We are capable of affecting male perception of what a need could be, and there is still so much to be done. I haven’t got time to sit and be cared for, as locals have observed. I always have to be out doing something. It is healthy for us and healthy for the environment.

B.A. Olsen SCM., QSM. * * * * I attended the meeting at the St Andrews church hall on Sunday afternoon.

My impression of the candidates are as follows: National came across as well informed, strong and competent.

NZ First though a little nervous was committed and showed passion and knowledgeable.

The Green candidate was idealistic as was to be expected, informed but managed to contradict herself on the question of National Super means testing.

The Labour candidate was late in arriving. He seemed at times to be disconnected and had to consult the Green candidate on what was the question when directed to him from the floor. His answers were on policy but did not directly answer the question asked. If he is an example of the talent in the Labour Party then one has to question their competency.

David Edwards * * * * Can anyone tell me if something will be done about tree stumps in Fort Street? When they were taken down two very large stumps were left behind, which are now the biggest eyesore outside the Bridge Club.

Thanks, Joyce * * * * Council responds: We agree with Joyce and, depending on budget, are hoping to remove the stumps as a one-off job before Christmas.

Fog cannon latest security measure

By Claire Castle

An anti-theft fog cannon has now been installed in the Z station in Cambridge, following an armed robbery last week.

The dense smoke the cannon produces will make it much harder for robbers to get into the site and behind the counter, as visibility will be severely restricted.

The fog cannon is part of a range of security measures being rolled out at Z sites throughout the country, with the company spending approximately $8 million on new high definition CCTV systems as well as bollards to prevent ram raids. Each fog cannon costs $5,000, and with

more than 200 Z stations around the country the investment on those alone will be more than $1 million.

The petrol company is also planning to install cigarette dispensers in their Waikato petrol stations over the coming months, as tobacco is often a prime target for criminals. The automated units will be locked and only able to dispense one packet of cigarettes at a time, and staff will not have access to keys to unlock them between 6pm and 6am.

Waikato Police Senior Sergeant Phil Ruddell said that enquiries are ongoing following last Thursday morning’s robbery, when three men drove into the

forecourt of the Z petrol station on Victoria Street and smashed the front door in with a hammer to gain access just after 2am.

The assailants made off with cigarettes and a small amount of cash, leaving the attendant shaken but uninjured.

“A forensic examination of the scene has been conducted, and we urge anyone with information to contact the Cambridge Police Station on 827 3043 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 to make an anonymous report,” Senior Sergeant Ruddell said.

A spokesperson from Z said that the staff member involved in last week’s incident was doing fine.

Staff cleaning up after hammer-wielding robbers smashed their way into the Z station last week.

Meet the candidates

By Sophie Iremonger

It was an interesting display of politics at the Meet the Candidates event on Sunday, when around 50 locals gathered at the St Andrews Church Hall to hear from four political candidates; Louise Upston for National, Ala’ Al-Bustanji for Labour, Stu Husband for NZ First and Philippa Stevenson for the Green Party.

Ms Upston is a Cambridge local and Mr Al-Bustanji has lived in Taupo for the last 9 years, having moved to New Zealand from Jordan. Both are standing in the Taupo electorate which includes Cambridge. Mr Husband, a Morrinsville dairy farmer and Waikato Regional councillor, is standing for the Waikato electorate which encompasses Tamahere, Matangi and Hautapu.

Tamahere local Philippa Stevenson is also running for the Waikato electorate.

After introductions from the candidates it was time for questions from the audience.

Mr Husband’s background as a farmer and regional councillor

provided some insight when Greens candidate Philippa Stevenson spoke about polluted waterways and suggested a $2 levy per kilogram of nitrate leeched on farms each year, per hectare, to be paid at processor level. Money collected would go back into areas to help transition into a better sort of farm, Ms Stevenson said.

Ms Stevenson said there is already a mechanism in use to measure inputs and outputs to determine pollution levels, which is in use in the Waikato but is “not perfect”.

“No, there is a 30 per cent margin of error,” Mr Husband told the audience. This led an audience member to ask how this could be an acceptable measurement, because while it is being used on farms presently there is no financial consequence to the results. “If they’re being charged hard dollars then that percentage of variation does matter,” the person pointed out.

The hot topic of bringing rail to the region was also put to the candidates. Ms Upston said research would need to be

done to look at public usage and costs, “before the reality of a rail is feasible”.

The Labour and Green party candidates both said they planned to introduce rail to the region, which would include

a link to Cambridge at a later stage, while New Zealand First’s focus was on linking up all regions. A shortage of police in Cambridge and other areas was concerning for many. Ms Upston thanked all those in Cambridge

who signed the petition which has brought two more police officers to Cambridge, while the other candidates highlighted the need for more police across the country.

Steady hand for Chamber

things to do this weekend

Phil MacKay has been re-elected to lead the Cambridge Chamber of Commerce’s executive committee.

The decision was made at the Chamber’s 29th annual general meeting, held at Resthaven Village Centre on September 13.

Also remaining for another term are Lesley Nielsen and Susanne Lorenz who move into the vice presidents’ roles, and Janine Peters who will again be treasurer.

Caro Gatley, Greg Wallace and Jim Goodin will remain on the board, while Fran Larsen, Joel Boyte, Rebecca Jenkins and Sue Duignan join for their first terms.

Meeting chairman Peter Carr thanked the 2017/18 executive committee for volunteering their time, and congratulated them on their appointment.

Phil MacKay, who first stepped into the leadership role in late 2016, said: “Since taking up the President’s role it certainly hasn’t disappointed in the challenge department, however I believe it has been a successful year for the Cambridge Chamber of Commerce. I am proud of what we have achieved and the excellent value our team provide for our members.”

The Cambridge Chamber has delivered over 50 events in the past year, including the recent Waipa Networks Business Awards. Chamber has also made multiple submissions to Waipa District Council and advocated for members on issues including growth, CCTV, parking, and most recently, Easter trading hours.

Membership has grown from 254 to 280, an increase of nearly 10 percent.

Phil acknowledged the Chamber’s strategic partners, including several new sponsors and thanked them for their contribution.

He also acknowledged the imbalance between

workload and available resources for the Chamber office. “The Executive Committee is working on a solution to address this, while still delivering excellent value for members. There is a need to not just to continue our existing programmes, but to innovate and adapt to the changing needs of our business community. To provide for this, our committee have set some ambitious goals for growth over the next five years.”

Chamber chief executive Tania Witheford said that like any business, there was a constant race for relevance in an environment of perpetual change”.

“We must innovate, integrate and engage to provide value for our members and bolster sustainable revenue generation.”

Phil MacKay has been re-elected to lead the Cambridge Chamber of Commerce’s executive committee.

Bone broth bar a New Zealand first

Cambridge’s My Kitchen Rules winners Neena Truscott and Belinda MacDonald have opened New Zealand’s first dedicated bone broth bar in Alpha Street.

The Broth Bar wellness hub and takeaway pop-up outlet, operating under ‘The Green Kitchen’ moniker, opened for business on Tuesday, September 19.

It marked a landmark for the best friends and 2014 reality cooking show winners. Since taking the My Kitchen Rules NZ title that year, they’ve been doing it tough trying to get find

a way to market their nutrientrich bone broths to New Zealand consumers.

As much as they were convinced Kiwis were ready for the international broth boom, their journey to this point looks to have been quite a ride.

“We just kept hitting obstacles,” said Neena, “doors that appeared open were being slammed shut, and we

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.

had a couple of big things fall through. But now that we look back on it, everything seems to have happened for a reason – and here we are.”

Both women have brought their own experiences into formulating their food philosophy and coming up with health-giving broths.

A qualified health and wellness coach, Neena struggled with health issues after having her twin daughters.

It gave her a new perspective on nutrition.

“Food was never a huge passion. I grew up following a simple rule of ‘if I want it, eat it’. But in dealing with multiple intolerances and allergens, I’ve learned to listen to my body.”

Food technology teacher Belinda has been a dedicated foodie all her life, crafting her passion for seasonal and nourishing meals around the healing elements of food.

Belinda’s love for food - and foraging - also helped Neena view food differently.

“For me, food represents

health, culture, unity and contentment,” said Belinda.

“Cooking is my daily creative

outlet and it allows me to express love.”

The Broth Bar is at 92 Alpha

Opening their bone broth bar in their home town is a dream come true for award-winning organic foodies, Belinda MacDonald, left, and Neena Truscott.

Cambridge dancer Molly Robinson recently scored 92% for her International Dance Teachers’ Association Intermediate Ballet Exam - one of the highest marks in New Zealand.

A visiting examiner from England scrutinized Molly during the test.

Kellie Schroer, director of the KS School of Dance and Molly’s teacher, said she has very high hopes for her talented pupil.

“She is a very dedicated student taking dance classes five days a week, and is prepared to put the long hours of practice in to her ballet.

“We are aiming for Molly to attend a fulltime dance programme in a couple of years, maybe in New Zealand or overseas – but she will have to audition for a place to be accepted. We have a great deal of hard work ahead of us, but that is something Molly is not afraid of!”

Molly began ballet at age four and 10 years later she said it is still her dream to be a professional ballerina.

Exhibition celebrates fishing Cambridge artist Santie Cronje has turned the spotlight on the joys of freshwater fishing for her upcoming solo exhibition at Inspirit Studio & Gallery.

Wandering and Meandering is her second solo exhibition at the Tamahere art gallery.

Hailing from South Africa, Santie describes herself as an “accidental traveller who shares life’s journeys on canvas”. Since arriving in New Zealand in 1999, she has exhibited widely and made a name for herself through works depicting life in a charming and whimsical way.

This new exhibition focuses on

Santie’s reflections of the outdoors - in particular, her enjoyment of freshwater fishing.

“I’ve enjoyed it since first arriving in New Zealand. Not as a fisher, but instead watching as others cast their lines, relaxing beside a stream after hiking to the perfect spot,” she explained. “At the heart of it, trout fishing is more about enjoying the magnificent outdoors; the smells and sounds of a river and the slowing of time.”

Santie’s first exhibition at Inspirit Gallery was a sell-out success. Since then, she has been working on pieces for her Wandering and Meandering

exhibition in her Leamington studio.

The exhibition is also topical right now, with much attention being given to cleaning up rivers, lakes and other waterways throughout New Zealand.

The exhibition will open at Inspirit Gallery, 360 Pencarrow Road, on Sunday, September 24 - Santie will be available to talk to people from 11.30am to 1.30pm on that day. In a nod to the theme, chocolate fish will be provided, and the gallery will feature vintage fishing memorabilia to expand the overall topic.

Wandering and Meandering will run until October 24.

Colour Blast at Karapiro

By Claire Castle

Explosions of colour filled the air at Karapiro on Saturday, with the inaugural running of the Leamington School Colour Blast. More than 250 people turned out for the run, which was more than organisers had been expecting.

Different colour stations lined the 2km route at the Mighty River Domain, with volunteers ready to pelt participants with colourful powder as they passed. The powder is biodegradable and made from non-toxic food coloured corn starch and natural food dyes, approved for use in cosmetics

as well as food.

One of the organisers from the Leamington School PTA, Selina Eason, said the powdered dye was imported in bulk from Australia which was a costly exercise. “We didn’t make a lot of profit,” she said, adding that next year’s event will be more lucrative for the school because they have enough powder left over from this year to do it all again.

Selina said the dye was mixed with more corn starch and placed at five colour stations along the track, each with its own sponsor. Waikato Office

Products Depot sponsored the orange station, Leamington School was next up with blue, Cambridge Fitness and Kerry Young Builders teamed up for the yellow. Herbert Morton had the teal station and Good Union had the final pink station. Then everyone gathered for the ‘blast’ part of the event – a free-for-all of colour and spot prizes.

While heavy rain drenched participants at the start line, Selina said it turned out to enhance the event. “It worked out good in the end because the powder stuck and made it brighter,” she said.

Cambridge author and mum, Nikki Crutchley, took part in the event with her husband and their two daughters. “It was a fabulous day despite a huge downpour at the start line,” she said, adding that it was a great family day out and wonderfully organised by the Leamington Primary PTA. Nikki said that the colour washed out easily from their dark clothes and their hair and skin, but the white t-shirts they wore were unable to be salvaged.

The Leamington PTA was grateful to event sponsors, which in addition to the five

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 2017

station sponsors included: Cambridge Real Estate, Donut Express, Unichem Cambridge, Cambridge Grain and Fresh Choice. There were five official photographers capturing the event on the day - including Sheree Kershaw photography, Annie Martin, Michelle Legros, Cody Amlehn, Finley Pirie sponsored by Nikon NZ through Kodak Express to provide them with the cameras.

Selina said the event took many hours to organise, but that they will definitely do it again and it will be “bigger and better”.

Deadly flu chokes district In the Waipa district it ran riot for just a month, but in those few weeks a deadly influenza epidemic killed dozens of people and caused serious illness for scores of others.

It created havoc in the small towns and sparsely populated rural communities, closing schools and businesses, overwhelming hospitals and almost paralysing all social, sporting and commercial events.

The outbreak was first reported in Te Awamutu’s Waipa Post about 8 November 1918, with a story saying the disease had struck the town and surrounding area.

“In the town and country the epidemic is general, and in some cases whole families have been stricken,” said the report. “Several business places are closed, and the majority are working with reduced staff. In some cases there is serious depletion and great difficulty is being experienced in keeping up with business demands.”

Another story said the Government was urgently asking women “not necessarily registered but who have some nursing experience” to volunteer at the Auckland Hospital. The Government was also advising that the flu was “a dangerous infectious disease”. Authorities were given special powers to control its spread.

A Te Awamutu Council meeting report noted that, in less than a week of the outbreak, “whole families were stricken down helpless and practically unattended.

Desperat e measure s were ta the coun ken thro try to curb including the spread ughout the use of of flu, G throat sp overnmen rays for m t-funded embers of the public .

The two doctors were working day and night, but owing to the scattered district were wholly unable to attend all cases.”

A temporary hospital was set up in the Te Awamutu Town Hall with 52 people admitted in 14 days; 24 died, almost all of them adults.

Cambridge fared somewhat better, setting up a hospital in the Cambridge Town Hall to care for 31 patients. A special inhalation chamber was set up in a local mill, and the public was advised to “visit this chamber about every three days”.

School exams were postponed and hotels, bars and club-rooms were ordered closed until further notice.

By 6 December the epidemic appeared to have abated, and the temporary hospitals established in local town halls were evacuated and the buildings, along with schools, were disinfected.

Town Hall Art Attack a welcome reprieve

By Viv Posselt

Last weekend’s Cambridge Community Arts Council exhibition Art Attack proved to be a delightfully creative distraction from the current

political assault on our senses.

Scores of paintings, drawings and photographs exhibited in the main section of the Cambridge Town Hall attracted a steady stream of enthusiasts over both days.

Reclaim comfortable vision and your life back!

Included were a number of digital images submitted by St Peter’s School photography students, and running alongside Art Attack was a mini-exhibition

by Cambridge Creative Fibre, with some of its members demonstrating their spinning skills. Both groups used the opportunity to sell some of their works.

Those coming in to see the art works were given the opportunity to vote for their favourite. The People’s Choice Award in the Cambridge Community Arts Council exhibition went to Henriette Mathiesen, for a large acrylic piece featuring poppies and This large acrylic painting by Henriette Mathiesen, Blossoms of Bravery, won the People’s Choice Award at the September 16/17 Art Attack in the Cambridge Town Hall. entitled Blossoms of Bravery.

Global walk for seniors coming up

By Viv Posselt

Cambridge to acknowledge senior citizens.

Planning is in its final stages The International Global for this year’s global walk in Walk to Recognise the Value

Florence Shearman is busy finalising details for the October 2 global walk for seniors.

of Older People will be held at the Cambridge Raceway from 10.30am on Monday October 2. It coincides with the United Nationsdesignated International Day of Older Persons on October 1, a worldwide initiative celebrating the value of older people. The theme of the 2017 global commemoration is Stepping into the Future: Tapping the Talents, Contributions and Participation of Older Persons in Society.

Organising the local event again is Cambridge’s Florence Shearman, one of the town’s most energetic advocates for the aged – supported this year by Sport Waikato, and Harness Racing Waikato. Sport Waikato will have an information table at the global walk, offering pamphlets outlining the range of exercises and activities available locally.

The October 2 global walk event at the Cambridge Raceway will enable those taking part to walk around the track, and will also cater for non-walking supporters.

Florence said the fact it was being held at the start of the school holidays also meant young people would be able

to accompany their senior relatives.

“We’d like to see people of all ages there, with some of the younger ones perhaps helping those who might need a hand. There will also be things of interest for those who might not want, or be able, to do the walk itself.

There will be refreshments, and we will have a band called Passion playing oldtime songs for people who FIGURE 3.2.1 just want to come along and provide support.”

Several retired trotting and harness drivers will be there, some of whom will have the job of driving dignitaries around the track in two-seater sulkies, and there will be other individuals present who are well known in the equine world.

The dignitaries will include Waipa District Mayor Jim Mylchreest; Diane Turner, the Wellington-based director of the Office for Senior Citizens at the Ministry of Social Development; and Charles FIGURE 3.2.3 Gower, advocate at the Waikato-based Nationwide Health & Disability Advisory Trust.

Age Concern Waikato will also be present, as will the Cambridge Grey Power group,

headed by Val Massey, and emcee for the morning will be racing commentator George Simon.

The global walk was held in Hamilton last year, but was at the Cambridge Raceway in the year before that. The

event on October 2 will be the third for Cambridge.

“Even if you don’t want to join in the walk, we’re urging people to come along and support the event. It will be a lot of fun and it’s for a good cause,” said Florence.

Fashion store gets behind St John

Emergency services in the Waikato have been boosted thanks to an initiative of Cambridge fashion store Oosh and St John youth member Tayla Missen, 17.

Tayla works part time at Oosh and store management was so impressed with the work undertaken by St John that it decided to hold a fashion parade evening, raising $127.60 for the charitable organisation.

Brenda Searancke, Cambridge Oosh Experience store manager, said all the Oosh stores had undertaken to raise money for local charities and in the month of June, sold raffles to raise money and held fashion evenings.

Recently appointed St John

Cambridge area committee chairman Jeremy Stubbs said the donation was welcomed as St John needed everything it could get.

‘’We rely on every donation, every penny. The Oosh Experience owner had run some initiatives to help us and it all helps,” he said.

Water meter installations finished

Contractors have completed installing nearly 11,400 new water meters across Waipa district, paving the way for separate water billing to begin next year.

Water meters have been at Ohaupo since 1991 and Pirongia since 1997. Most of Waipa’s rural, industrial and commercial users have also had

water meters for years.

But from July 2018, Waipa water consumers will pay for water largely based on how much they use, rather than a standard charge. Before then, all consumers will receive at least two mock bills, showing their water use and indicating what that would cost once charging begins.

Project delivery manager Lorraine Kendrick said meters would make people in Waipa far more conscious of how much water they used. The Council was already urging people to fix water leaks and consider replacing old pipework in poor repair.

“Council does exactly the same thing. We constantly

Thirteen Friendship Force International guests from Japan, along with their local hosts and Lauriston residents, were enchanted by the children’s performances. The Japanese Friendship Force guests responded in turn by singing a Japanese song to the children.

check our own networks for leaks because it costs to secure, treat and supply water and we don’t want to waste it either,” she said. “We’ll also continue to work with the community on ways to save water.”

Currently, every Waipa household not on a water meter pays $405.30 per year for treated water, irrespective of how much they use. For the 2017/18 year, on average,

households in Pirongia and Ohaupo with water meters will pay around $345.

From next month, meter readers will be out in Te Awamutu and Kihikihi, taking readings from water meters in preparation for the first mock bill in January 2018. They will read Cambridge meters during November. Meter readers do not need to go inside houses to read the meter.

Council also confirmed it has now been in contact with all Waipa householders living in older cross-lease properties where it might not be possible to install individual meters. Possible solutions for those properties were still being considered and costed. Elected Councillors would make a decision on what option they wanted to proceed with within the next few months, Kendrick said.

Cambridge barista a coffee connoisseur

By Sophie Iremonger A Cambridge barista has been recognised for her brewing brilliance at the 2017 Columbus Coffee Barista Champs in Auckland recently.

Millie Taylor, 18 (pictured), finished the national competition for Columbus baristas in first place over-all for the coffee theory round, and in second place for junior baristas. The 2016 Cambridge High School graduate said she “definitely wasn’t expecting” to do so well.

“I was second on so I didn’t really get to watch anyone, I watched one person, so I was quite nervous at first, I didn’t know what to expect, but it was pretty cool,” Millie said. “It was quite intense though, there were so many people watching!”

Millie said she just tried to focus on what she was doing whilst under the spotlight, pretending it was just like making another coffee at work.

“Once the time started I just had to ignore everyone else and just make a coffee… it was

quite a different environment to making every day coffee, but I think you just had to relax and focus, just zone yourself out and do your own thing. We do make hundreds of coffees a day!”

The Waikato University business student works Fridays and Saturdays at Columbus Café Cambridge (inside Mitre 10).

Reds have promotion in their sights

By Josh Easby, Cambridge Football Club

With four regional football titles in the bag, Cambridge are now set to play their most important matches in two years. The Reds will travel to Auckland on September 23 for a promotion play-off match against Beachlands-Maraetai, and a week later the two clubs will meet in a second fixture at John Kerkhof Park in Cambridge.

The outcome of those two games will decide which club is promoted to the Northern

League, a competition covering the upper North Island.

Cambridge qualified for the play-offs as the 2017 winners of the Loaded WaiBOP Premiership, while BeachlandsMaraetai were runners-up in the Auckland/Northern Conference.

Meanwhile, Cambridge concluded their Premiership schedule with a 3-1 win over Melville United. Scorers for the Reds were Tom Woutersen, Callum MacLeod and Donovan Latham.

Cambridge’s unbeaten run to 16 games and ensured the club’s final winning margin in the competition will be at least six points. Cambridge scored 91 goals in their 22 Premiership fixtures, a significant increase on previous seasons.

The Cambridge club also hosted the WaiBOP Finals Day with several hundred spectators visiting.

Q& A

I think the best thing here is ask more questions; Do athletes spend 90% of their time focusing on what they eat and just 10% on training? Can what you eat lower your blood pressure? Can what you eat make you fitter? Can what you eat help you sleep soundly? Can what you eat lower your stress levels? The overriding health benefits gained from regular exercise far outweigh any food manipulation, and excepting obesity, being fit with good health markers is more important than weight. It’s normally less about how much than about what; no one ever got overweight from eating too many vegetables, did they? And lastly, I think it helps to stop talking about ‘losing’ weight, as the mindset around losing something is that you want to find it again. Talk about using up stored energy for positive gain and changing body composition and health.

What do you think of E-bikes for exercise?

E-bikes are growing on me. I used to think if you’re going to cycle, just get progressively fit enough to cycle. However, as the bike doesn’t actually move by itself and the motor just helps, you still need to pedal, so the movement involved especially for those with knee issues, must be a positive thing. Also, not so relevant to Cambridge, but I can see in urban centres how it would prove a very effective way to transport yourself and avoid traffic jams without getting too incredibly sweaty. So ideally, a manual cycle is best but an E-bike is better for you than a car whichever way you look at it.

CHS team finish with fastest bike

By Sophie Iremonger

It was the second year of the competition which gives Making it to the start line students the chance to design, of the EVolocity regional final build and race their own electric was a victory in itself for two bikes and karts.

Cambridge High School teams, “I think to design a bike, having completed their projects make the bike, get there and on time and up to standard. have it perform okay or at

least get through the day without breaking down is an accomplishment in itself for a lot of students,” their mentor and technology teacher Bruce Siriett said.

“And to get an award on top of that is pretty good!”

Bruce Siriett (right) helps Reuben Theron (left), Michael Arnott (top) and Marvin Li fix their chain problem ahead of the street race.

The Cambridge High School team of Leardt Erasmus and Jarred Treymane was awarded with the title of Fastest Bike in the competition, finishing the drag race segment in first place, clocking in 38kmph across a 50 metre stretch.

“That was a pretty good effort, well, obviously since they were the fastest!” said Mr Siriett.

“I guess the main thing was that no one hurt themselves, nothing broke down, and they seemed to have a good time.”

The other Cambridge High School team, Reuben Theron, Marvin Li, and Michael Arnott, had a bit of a hiccup ahead of the street race round, and it looked as though they would have to pull out of the competition.

The chain on their bike kept coming loose and falling off the cog due to the wheel moving forward, but with the help of their trusty teacher they were able to fix the problem just a matter of minutes before they were due to compete.

“We did a bit of a band-aid repair and stopped it jumping off the cog, so that they could compete in all the events.”

Though the team didn’t finish up with any prizes, Mr Siriett said simply, “I’m just pleased they managed to take part in all

the events!”

With 15 school teams competing against each other on the Kartsport track in Tamahere and around a hundred spectators watching, it was the culmination of what was a mammoth project for the students throughout the school year.

The top schools at the competition will go on to compete at the national final in Christchurch.

Now with the event over, the local students will be able to keep their creations as a reminder of their hard work and perseverance throughout their final school year.

Hat-trick for Cambridge to Hamilton paddler

By Sophie Iremonger It was another win for Auckland’s Andrew Mowlem as he finished the 23km Cambridge to Hamilton Paddle Race on Sunday with a firstplace finish for the third year in a row, clocking in with his best time so far of 1 hour and 26 minutes.

He finished less than a second ahead of fellow surf ski competitor, Aucklander Sam Mayhew, who was also competing in the Male Open Category (18-39 age group).

Another Auckland Garth

Spencer finished third, just one second behind Andrew and first for the Male Veterans 40-49 age group.

But it wasn’t just Aucklanders that took the top titles.

Cambridge High School’s Jessica Gosling won the major spot prize of a single sea kayak from Stellar Kayaks, after being the first female to finish in the single sea kayak division, and 6th overall with a time of 2 hours and 11 minutes.

Over in the schools’ double kayak division, two Cambridge High School teams topped the table in first and second, the

first team included Fraser Bain and the second included Sam Bain. A St Peters team rounded off the podium in third.

It wasn’t an easy feat for the record 141 competitors taking part in the gruelling event on the Waikato River, but reasonable weather and a current working in their favour made it more achievable.

Female Open competitor Nadia Murrell (Auckland) was first to finish in the 11km segment, in 51 minutes and 23 seconds, six seconds ahead of Male Master Tony Fisher (Auckland).

Winner Andrew Mowlem said the river was flowing noticeably faster this year and was also much higher – to the point where the little beach near the finish line was almost submerged. It created more swirling water around obstacles such as trees, Mowlem said, which meant competitors had to keep their distance and paddle safely.

Fortunately the race went without a hitch or any injuries.

Organisers from The Boat Shed (Cambridge) said they were rapt the ‘weather gods’ pulled through on the day.

Hautapu on a roll

By Sophie Iremonger

The Hautapu Sports Club has a reputation for producing excellent rugby players – but this year the local club has even topped itself, with a record 18 players making regional representative and national teams.

Tawera Kerr-Barlow and Liam Messam top the table, with Tawera making it into the All Blacks and Liam being made Captain of the Maori All Blacks.

Both players have also been selected for the Chiefs. Ryan Coxon, Sam Caird, Ciarahn Matoe

and Luke Jacobson have all made it on to the NZ Under 20 team, with Luke as captain. And Luke is joined by his brother Mitch, along with Sam and Tawera, in making the Waikato team, along with Ayden Johnson and Sekopi Moli.

Ryan Coxon has also made the Tasman team, and Todd Doolan made North Harbour.

Peni Rokoduguni and Alex Graham were named on the 2017 Waikato Development team, and Bradley Slater, Ciarahn Matoe and Tom Florence made the Taranaki Under 19 squad.

And in the Waikato Under 19 team, Laghlan McWhannell,

Nico Aandewiel, Ben Engles and Sheldon Tovio were named, as well as Jacob Norris as captain.

Plenty of young rugby players have joined the Hautapu club over the past year, and out of all of the Waikato clubs Hautapu has had the highest number of under 21 players this season. “We’ve got a lot of young fullas that have got a big future and hopefully will make the rep teams for a long time,” said Hautapu head coach Craig Stevenson. Next year the club will add an Under 21 team to their line up. “It’s going to be great,” he said. “The future looks really good.”

St Peter’s premier girls win regional basketball St Peter’s Premier Girls’ Basketball had a very successful Tournament Week, winning their Regional competition for the third year in a row and qualifying in first place for the National finals.

The team played a total of five matches in the NZ Basketball Zone 2 Regional Qualification tournament, held in Tauranga.

Coach Leanne Walker says the team were hoping to place in the top four in the competition, qualifying for Nationals.

“Winning the tournament and qualifying in first place meant we exceeded our expectations.

“The semis and the finals were very competitive games.

Very physical. However, the girls stayed strong and held their nerve, beating a classy Melville side in the final by 17 points.

“Charlisse Leger-Walker, Jayze Waihi and Arielle MackeyWilliams were consistent performers, but other players also made big contributions and the team were all driven by their

desire to play in the Nationals.”

Ms Walker adds that it was especially pleasing to see Year 10 Ahi Williams and Year 9 Grace McGirr, stepping up to the senior level, despite limited basketball playing experience.

St Peter’s Premier Boys’ Basketball finished 3rd at regional level, gaining a place at National tournament for the first time ever.

National finals will take place in Palmerston North in October.

Horse Chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum) Keep watch for the appearance of the creamy white orchid-like flowers which will soon form spectacular candelabrae on these beautiful trees above Lake Te Koutu near the car park for the Good Union. In autumn they form a prickly oval fruit which encloses the shiny conker, once beloved by English school boys.

Recently a year 13 student from Cambridge High School (CHS) was flown to Wellington to compete in the finals of the Casio Senior Mathematics Competition.

CHS student Charles Zha was one of 15 finalists chosen from a preliminary examination to compete in the competition, where 10 regional finalists and the next 5 best scores were selected.

red, pink or yellow flowers; some have hybridised with the European chestnut to make red or pink flowered varieties.

There are also several very handsome Japanese and Indian varieties, the former with leaves as much as three feet across.

Horse chestnuts originated in Albania, northern Greece and Turkey, from whence they were brought to England in Elizabethan times. The oldest ones in England still alive today were planted in 1664 and some of them reach 40 metres in height.

They flourished in this climate and became very popular as the biggest of all ornamental flowering trees. In England and in Europe their presence is usually a sign of human habitation; they provide excellent shade in many a village square, and in Bavaria are often found in beer gardens, so the siting of the Good Union nearby seems entirely appropriate.

Charles finished the competition third place – a remarkable achievement for such a high level.

The year 13 student has a fine record in mathematics at Cambridge High School – in 2016 as a year 12 student he was awarded an Outstanding Scholarship and also received a prize in the Australian Mathematics Competition.

The Police Serious Crash Unit is still investigating an incident which saw a woman hit by a vehicle in Leamington on Wednesday, September 13.

It is believed that around 7.25pm the woman was retrieving items from the back of her blue Hyundai sedan, which was parked on the side of the road in Bracken Street, when a white Toyota Altezza collided with the car and the woman, causing serious injuries.

The woman was transported to Waikato Hospital where she remains in critical condition in intensive care. Police attended the scene and spoke with the

driver of the vehicle.

All those involved have now been accounted for, but Police are still seeking information from members of the public who witnessed the crash, or anyone who may have seen the Altezza prior to the incident.

Witnesses are asked to

contact Senior Constable Mark Strongman of the Te Awamutu Police on 07 872 0100 or email mark.strongman@police.govt.nz.

Information can also be supplied anonymously by phoning Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

The collision left one woman in critical condition.

Flavours with Jan Bilton

Luckily, vitamin C-rich citrus fruits are abundant at this time of the year. Sneezes and colds are rife and citrus offer a zesty boost to health providing not only high levels of ‘C’ but potassium and fibre plus folate — also known as folic acid — a B group vitamin vitally important for healthy cell growth and development.

oranges), grapefruit, mandarins, ugli fruit, lemons, limes and tangelos are but a few of the citrus varieties now cultivated worldwide. New varieties are constantly being developed.

An orange has about 10 segments and will yield approximately four teaspoons of grated rind. Three oranges will yield about one cup of juice and two oranges will provide a

cup of diced fruit.

Citrus will keep at room temperature for some time. For longer storage, place in a plastic bag in the fridge.

Many citrus fruits are coated with an edible wax to enhance the keeping qualities. This can be easily removed by washing with warm water.

To segment an orange or grapefruit: Top and tail the fruit using a sharp

knife with a thin blade. Place the fruit on a board and, cutting from the top to the base, carefully remove all the white pith along with the skin. Working over a bowl to catch the juice, cut from the outside in towards the centre on either side of each segment, as near as possible to the dividing membrane. Slip the segments into the bowl.

They sang with gusto, with many of the songs having actions and rhythmical patterns added as well. As well as providing vibrant music to the town centre, the students also took the opportunity to busk and fundraise for the school’s Performing Arts programme, which involves all students from new entrants to Year 8.

Expressway: Tamahere taking shape

The southern end of the Waikato Expressway Hamilton section is taking shape. A photo taken from the air on Monday shows the expressway route through the Tamahere gullies is becoming clearer by the day.

This aerial view shows the East West Link Bridge, being built on the right-hand side near Cherry Lane.

The expressway will travel under this bridge, then swing right across Cambridge Road, through the cleared land then through the gullies where the blue boom of the piling crane can be seen.

It will then join up with Matangi Road near Atawhai Mercy Assisi Home and Hospital.

Completion of the entire Waikato expressway, which should reduce travel time between Auckland and Tirau by up to 35 minutes, is due in 2019. The estimated cost of the project is $637 million, and it is one of seven roads of national significance.

For further information, a Visitor Centre at Percival Road off Ruakura Road is open weekdays from 10am – 3pm and the first Saturday of the East west link bridge. month from 9am – midday.

Damage to bridge continues

The High level bridge in Cambridge took another blow last week.

Approximately 6 metres of pedestrian railing was heavily damaged by a vehicle and subsequently removed. “We received reports that the highlevel bridge was hit, damaging the pedestrian barrier,” said Bryan Hudson, Road Corridor Manager for Waipa District

Council. “Our contractors are working to get this fixed as soon as possible.”

The railing has yet to be replaced. Council could not confirm how often the High Level bridge is damaged by vehicles but said, “it does get a few hits causing minor damage”.

“The handrails are hit several times a year and are usually repaired at a minimal cost,” said

Hudson.

“The last major damage to the bridge was in 2015 when a truck damaged the handrail and overhead barrier.”

Council confirmed the orange “safe hit posts” on the centre line are hit by vehicles regularly, but adding that “they are designed to withstand these small hits and bounce back, and are replaced when necessary.”

Road cones were initially put in place after the incident.

Valuable insight from museum

By Nancy Cooke, Convenor, Cambridge Genealogy Branch NZSG

Genealogists or family researchers often find useful family information in local museums. For this reason, the Cambridge Genealogy Branch NZSG invited Kathryn Parsons, manager of Cambridge Museum, to speak to them at their recent branch meeting. Kathryn gave a clear and interesting presentation of the different types of records that are found in the Museum. These include books, artefacts, newspaper clippings, a work-in-progress database of local names, businesses, activities and group functions plus information on houses, land and buildings. Those present at the meeting were encouraged to visit the Museum, and felt that they would receive a warm welcome. Cambridge Genealogists also welcome visitors and new members to their group. Contact Nancy 8277359, or Stella on 8275036 for more information.

Submitted by the Cambridge Tramping Club

The Cambridge Tramping Club walked through areas of the Karangahake Gorge on Sunday 10th September, with a focus on finding some of the old gold mining history.

We started by crossing the Waitawheta River on the bridge, then up the Scotsman’s Gully track and on to the main track where we passed 10 old gold mining caves (which were gated off). It was interesting to see inside of some and appreciate the hard work to make them. The views of the area were great too. Then it was down to Dickey’s Flat camping ground for lunch.

After lunch, it was back over the river and along the windows walk following the old water pipe and rail lines through the handmade tunnels and out to the remains of the battery and gold processing plant. We all really enjoyed the day and thankfully the weather was not bad – just the odd light shower but also some sun!

The next tramp is at Nikau Caves, west of Huntly, on Sunday September 24. Phone Nora on 07 838 0554 for information.

RICHARD THE STORK

5 Stars. Orphaned at birth and raised by storks, the teenage sparrow Richard believes he is one of them. But when the time comes to migrate to Africa, his stork family is forced to reveal his true identity and leave him behind in the forest, since he is not a migratory bird and would not survive the journey. Determined to prove he is a stork after all, Richard ventures south on his own.

But only with the help of Olga, an eccentric owl with an imaginary friend and Kiki, a narcissistic, disco-singing parakeet, does he stand a chance to reach his goal and learn to accept who he really is

A pleasant surprise, a perfect, really fun family movie with heartfelt moments. Grownups and kids will surely love and enjoy it wholeheartedly.

It’s a pleasure to watch. Go and watch it and bring your kids, godchildren, little cousins, etc.

A totally entertaining watch (remember Lethal Weapon?) – it’s funny, action-filled and everyone really likes it.

Ryan Reynolds and Samuel Jackson were born for this moment.
