Christmas songs ring out

St Peter’s Catholic School students entertaining their families at last week’s Carols in the Playground.

The festive season is in full voice in Cambridge right now. St Peter’s Catholic School carollers can be heard out and about in town during the lead-up to Christmas, and their students made the most of a balmy evening

last week to entertain their families with Carols in the Playground. It was a special evening that ended with a visit from Santa. Several choirs featuring singers of all ages have added to the seasonal atmosphere in the

town hall where the Cambridge Christmas Festival has been drawing crowds since December 1. The festival, which includes a small shop and groups of singers, will end on December 16.

Quickfire News Santa parade survey

This week I was reminded once again, for probably the millionth time, that not only should I stop exaggerating but also that sometimes when you have been invited somewhere you should just put your big girl (or boy) pants on and go, even if you don’t feel like it.

I was lucky enough to be invited to the Cambridge Volunteer Fire Brigade’s Christmas Party on Saturday night, after I spent a week on call with them last month*.

My default setting is normally to stay at home where it’s less “peopley”, and even the lure of great company and free beer was failing to get me enthused.

Just as I was about to text in my apologies, I remembered all the other 999,999 times I have forced myself out the door when I didn’t want to go somewhere. So, I did. And it was fabulous.

As well as the predicted delicious food and aforementioned beer, it was tremendous to meet some of the partners who put up with the volunteers running off every time the siren goes. Heroes.

But the real highlight was a trip around the Christmas lights on the back of Flick, the brigade’s 1938 Barrel Nose Ford fire engine.

The stars were out, the lights were on and I was just so grateful to be part of it and not sitting at home binge-watching Seven Year Switch.

It was a timely reminder that sometimes doing something completely different can be just the thing to snap you out of a bit of a funk.

Oh, and because nobody wants Cambridge to burn down just because the volunteers are having their Christmas party, there were sober drivers on hand to ferry the guests home at the end of the night. Bonus. *If you didn’t read that story, you can find it at www.cambridgenews.nz Claire Castle, Editor

Same pig, different lipstick…

Council met with Spark last week to discuss the placement of the cell phone tower on the corner of Madison St and Watkins Rd. Council gave Spark four suggestions for alternative sites for the tower, and details of these have been

sent through to Spark for consideration.

Spark said they are considering painting it green to reduce its visual impact, however they would not elaborate on what shade of green it will be. Council said that prior to consent being granted in 2013, Spark (then Telecom) wrote to 15 surrounding properties advising them

of its plan to erect a tower. As it was a Limited Notified consent, council wrote to 5 houses adjacent to the proposed site.

No objections were received, so consent was granted.

Council is currently checking their records to see whether there are any other “dormant” sites, where resource

consent has been granted but where Spark has yet to erect a tower.

Spark said they had five years from the date of consent to build a tower. They didn’t advise either local residents or council they were putting it up in Kings Garden, something they have since apologised for.

Branch fall a close call

By Sophie Iremonger

A metre-wide tree branch came crashing down onto a caravan at the Horahora Domain last week, narrowly missing the sleeping occupants inside.

“If it (the caravan) had just been another foot forward we would have been hit,” said Margaret Liddell, who was inside the caravan with her husband William when the branch fell at about 11.45pm Tuesday. “Our main concern is we just want the council to do something about those trees, that branch was just so rotten.”

Neighbouring farmer

Alan Eason said he has made several phone calls to the Waipa District Council over the last five years complaining about the unsafe state of the trees, requesting that the 50-year-old poplar trees be inspected or removed.

“There’s about eight of them I think, all the same age, that all need removing because they’re all going to start dropping branches…

I’ve been to them many times and said to them you know it’s time to do something about it… these people were so lucky that they didn’t get killed.”

Bruce Airey, Community Facilities manager at Waipa District Council said, “Records over the past five

years show Council has received no complaints about these trees.

“The tree and others around it were inspected in 2015 after a branch fell on the fence. They were crown cleaned, heavy end-weight branches were removed and they were given a fit bill of health.

“As soon as the removal is complete we will be inspecting other trees on the reserve for deadwood and carrying out any work that is required. (In the meantime) we have put up signage asking people not to camp under the trees.”

Margaret Liddell confirmed she had been contacted by the council, and told that council’s

insurance company would be in contact with hers to “work something out”.

She was not sure whether the caravan would be written off, adding that her insurance company had seemed concerned that the branch had been rotten.

Liddell confirmed that there were no other mitigating factors to the branch falling. “There was no wind, it was a quiet night. It was just rot.”

The Liddells, from Tauranga, are familiar campers at the Horahora Domain and have stayed at the same location under the tree several times before. Margaret said she hopes the close call will be a wake-up for the council

to take a close look at the trees at the Horahora Domain.

“I just hope this is enough for them to cut down the other dead trees,

The two occupants were lucky to escape uninjured after the branch fell on it in the middle of the night.

Blockchain pilot a goer

By Sophie Iremonger A Cambridge-based advanced software company, Nyriad, has partnered with Sparkowned cloud provider Revera to pave the way for the New Zealand government to manage sensitive data using blockchain technology.

Three years in the making, a pilot launched last week will see government organisations test data sets using Nyriad’s real-time blockchain software platform, delivered from Revera’s Homeland Cloud.

Nyriad founder and CEO Matthew Simmons, a Cambridge local, explained that the pilot will essentially demonstrate that IT trust can be built with the company’s realtime blockchain filesystems, enabling public organisations to prove they are handling information

in a way that satisfies strict security standards and facilitates real-time data sharing.

“By using mathematics, blockchain enables you to be able to use a unique number that’s only possible if that file is in the same condition that it originally was,” Simmons explained. “So, a little bit of change, even though it’s not detectable, can actually be mathematically proved, with blockchain. It’s a way of using math for trust.

“The problem is, because the math is quite computer-intensive, it’s not practical to use on very large files because to prove that that file is in the same condition that it was, may take a long period of time.

In our architecture, it’s essentially instant.”

To make blockchain run at top speed, Nyriad has essentially been rebuilding IT systems from the ground up, redesigning the computer to run on its

Photo identifies stolen bike

graphics chip, rather than the traditional intel chip, to enable blockchain to run efficiently.

“We are enabling a solution for trust that has no latency or no time overhead, it’s instant, instantly verifiable trust.”

Over the last three years, Nyriad has generated 80 part-time and full-time jobs in Cambridge. Along with his co-founder and chief technology officer Alex St John, and some of their employees, Simmons tends to work 80 to 100 hours a week on the project.

“We’re trying to do something significant, and that requires significant input,” said Simmons, who has big ambitions for the company over the next decade. “We’ll be 200 strong by the end of next year, at the least. We’re going to keep all the talent here in Cambridge, our goal is to build a Google or a Microsoft in Cambridge.”

Supplied by Cambridge Police On Monday 14 December 11-year-old Matthew Peters biked to Leamington Primary School. Unfortunately, on this particular day Matthew failed to lock his bike up securely and someone stole it.

As luck would have it, however, the family had a recent photo of the bike, so police knew exactly what they were looking for.

The family had given up all hope of ever seeing the bike again when they received a call from police informing them that a young person had been seen riding the bike around Cambridge with no helmet on. The undamaged bike was returned to the family and police are

dealing with the juvenile offender.

The Peters family expressed that they were “very proud of our local police and the outstanding service they provided” and Matthew baked the police a delicious cake to say thank you.

This story highlights the importance of taking photos of your personal items and recording serial numbers, especially around Christmastime when there will no doubt be new valuables under the tree.

SNAP is an initiative of the New Zealand Police, aiming to prevent burglary, and make it harder for criminals to sell stolen goods in New Zealand. Please visit www.snap.org.nz to find out more and register your items.

Cambridge Middle School staff and students have said goodbye to their principal of 18 years, giving Ross Tyson a warm farewell at the school’s assembly on Friday.

“It’s a lovely school, lovely students, and an awesome staff which makes it a really hard place to leave,” said Ross, who has seen the school roll climb from 350 students when he started in term 2 of 2000, to now 575 students and 600 at the start of next year.

Ross says his favourite part of the job is mingling with the students.

“I love the fact that they can just come in here any time they want to and sit down and just talk about things,” he said. “It’s not like the olden days where you were scared of the principal and they just did the discipline, I get the luxury of not having to worry about that because that’s the DP’s job,” he laughed, “so I do enjoy that interaction with the kiddies, and just seeing their achievements.

“Seeing how well some of our past students have done, I use that in assemblies often, just to remind the kids, if you have a dream, this person sat in that very seat you’re sitting in right now…to try and get them to realise that anything’s possible.”

Matamata Intermediate Principal Daryl Gibbs will take over Tyson’s role in 2018.

Cambridge Middle School’s incoming principal, Daryl Gibbs, is looking forward to taking the reins at the decile 9 school at the start of next year.

Originally a joiner by trade, Daryl grew up in Whakatāne, moving to Hamilton in 1999 to play national league soccer for Waikato. He got the chance to mentor young people as part of that contract, and he was hooked. From 2000 – 2003 he did a Bachelor of Education degree, and is just about to finish his Masters in Educational Leadership. The Masters is about broadening the depth of knowledge he brings to the job, Daryl explained.

After completing his primary teacher training, Daryl spent 12 years at Berkley Normal Middle School in Hillcrest, eight of those as assistant principal and deputy principal before moving over to take the job of principal of Matamata Intermediate three years ago. He is enthusiastic about his

children”, 40-year-old Daryl said.

His wife, Rikki, is an ER nurse at Waikato Hospital and now that their children – Sophie (8), Olly (6) and Elle (4) – are a bit older, she is keen to get back to fulltime work.

Their house in Matamata is on the market, and Daryl hopes he and his family will be fully immersed in Cambridge life by the time school starts next year.

Call to digitise your war memorabilia

By Viv Posselt An Online Cenotaph is available at Cambridge Library until January 19 to enable people to digitally record and share their New Zealand wartime family histories.

The Online Cenotaph is part of a nationwide initiative by Auckland War Memorial Museum.

By digitising documents, letters, photographs and war memorabilia linked to family stories, people can add to a comprehensive online hub that already contains around 127,000 records of New Zealand’s service personnel, with some 99,000 biographical records relating to World

the support of both the Cambridge Historical Society and Cambridge Museum, and sits just to the left of the library’s entrance doors.

Cambridge Library spokesperson Christine Lewis said there had already been a lot of interest shown by patrons, and she expected more would come in over the holiday period. She said using the kiosk was not difficult, but library staff were on hand to help anyone needing assistance in assembling and uploading their family’s information.

While the digital cenotaph is primarily intended to record details

War I. Auckland Museum hopes the initiative will encourage communities to further enhance those records. Unlike physical cenotaphs which record only the names of those who served, the Online Cenotaph can collate any information into a single, open digital collection.

Residents of this area are served by Online Cenotaph kiosks at both Cambridge and Te Awamutu libraries until January 19, and until December 8 were able to use a kiosk set up at the Hamilton Central pop-up library.

It went into the Cambridge Library on November 10, with

around WW1, it also facilitates record-keeping around other wars.

Cambridge Historical Society’s Grant Middlemiss said: “We would encourage people to come in and use it. This is a great opportunity to record your family history in such a way that it adds to the country’s existing pool of information around our service personnel.

“Come and make a permanent record of your family history before your treasures are lost.”

A scanner linked to the cenotaph allows people to scan and record items such as photographs, letters, diary entries, certificates and documents, and even related newspaper cuttings.

Cambridge Museum manager Kathryn Parsons said people could bring in anything relating to their family’s service, including photo albums and even medals. She said there was no limit to the volume of information that could be uploaded to add to information the Auckland War Memorial Museum may already have on file for service personnel.

Also on show in the kiosk are posters of wartime individuals, books relating to New Zealand’s war effort, poppies and instructions on how to make them, and an old glass-topped display cabinet containing personal wartime mementos. The cabinet, which was one of the first to go into the original Cambridge Museum, was placed in the kiosk by museum staff.

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.

Local photographer makes his mark Local photographer Lawrence Bredenkamp has achieved international acclaim.

Cambridge Camera Club member Lawrence Bredenkamp.

The Cambridge Camera Club member has reached the final of the fiercelycontested Image of the Year competition held by the UK-based Guild of Photographers. Each year, the Guild runs an online monthly photographic competition which is judged by internationally respected judges.

During 2017, the competition attracted around 1200 entries each month from photographers around the world. An image taken by Lawrence is one of just 12 in various

genres which will now be printed ahead of this month’s competition final, during which judges will make their selection. The winner will be named at an awards night in Cheshire on February 3.

Lawrence described entering the competition and waiting for the results as “nerve-wracking”, and said the three images he entered in the last month of the year were “just to get a feel of where I was”.

“I took up photography again about six years ago after a very long break

This photo of a leopard on top of an ant hill at night, with the aid of a spotlight, has won Lawrence a place in the finals of an international competition.

since early film days, and have spent a lot of time and effort improving my skills. I certainly was not expecting this - you can imagine my surprise and delight when I received news of the nomination,” he said.

He joined the Guild after seeing another member’s work.

The image selected for the competition final was taken when Lawrence was with nine other Kiwis on a recent photographic safari to South Africa. He said the trip had been such a success that he was organising another exclusive “Kiwis Only” trip next year.

“Strangely enough, my chosen genre is portraits, not wild animals,” he said.

“I am thrilled to have my photo nominated and would like to thank the Guild members and staff for their encouragement, honest feedback, suggestions and unstinting support.”

Guild director Lesley Thirsk said one of the Guild’s aims was to drive standards and creativity among photographers.

“Our monthly competition certainly does

that, for the standard of the entries we see each month is quite staggering,” he explained. “To have an image recognised by the Guild in the monthly competition is difficult

enough, so to have an image selected as being one of the best in a category for the end of year final is an incredible achievement, and shows just how talented Lawrence is.”

Stand-out CHS students recognised

By Sophie Iremonger

Sam Kavanagh

Students at Cambridge High School said their final farewells for the year last week as the school’s junior students wrapped up Term 4 with a final assembly and prize giving.

Several significant awards were handed out – too many to name – but there were a few stand-out students on the day.

Year 10 student Sam Kavanagh was the most mentioned name of all. For his “exceptional involvement” in rowing, athletics, triathlon, cross country, adventure racing and cycling, Sam received the Garland Cup as the Junior Sportsman of the Year.

He was also named the Best All Round Year 10 Boy, receiving the Richard Banks Cup, and was named the Top Academic Student for Year 10, receiving the Principal’s Cup. Year 9 student Penelope Hare was awarded a raft of academic awards, first in English, social studies, science

and French, second in drama and third in mathematics. She was also awarded the Top Academic Student for Year 9.

The Year 9 all-round excellence award, which includes sport and academic success, went to Malaika Kilian (for girls), and to Josh Van (boys).

The Vela Clarkin Memorial Prize for the best all-round Year 10 girl went to Hunter Ludlam.

The 111 Report Time for a break

POLICE

Wednesday December 6 An attempted Burglary occurred on Victoria St during the day.

The home owner has noticed the lock on the lounge window was damaged. It doesn’t appear the property has been entered or items have been taken.

A vehicle stolen from Papatoetoe between October and December 2017 was recovered on Browning St. The ignition barrel was damaged, and a screwdriver was being used to start the vehicle. Forensics have examined the vehicle and fingerprints have been uplifted.

A stolen bicycle that was reported in last week’s Police news was recovered and returned to the very thankful owner. Police saw a young male riding the bike with no helmet on and immediately recognised the bike from a photo provided by the victims.

Thursday December 7 Two juveniles stole a lighter from the dairy on Thornton Rd. The young juveniles were located and taken back to their caregivers.

The stolen item was recovered and returned.

Friday December 8 A paddock housing horses on Lamb St has had fence standards and a solar power electric fence unit taken over night. This is the third report of similar incidents in the last fortnight.

Saturday December 9 A burglary occurred on King St overnight and Christmas decorations were taken. Three solar LED candy canes about 40cm high were removed from the property. These festive lights are of no use to the offenders however as the wiring was broken and the rest of the candy cane units were left behind.

Police received complaints about a suspicious male jumping fences in private properties on Grey St. Police located the 41-year-old male who resides in Auckland. The paranoid male was high on drugs and running away from imaginary people.

It’s that time of the year when we think of holidays and the approaching Christmas break.

Below is a list of the public holidays for the Christmas / New Year’s break: • Christmas Day, Monday December 25 • Boxing Day, Tuesday December 26 • New Year’s Day, Monday January 1 • Day after New Year’s Day, Tuesday January 2 Public holidays are additional to annual leave days. Employees are entitled to be paid for a public holiday if the holiday is on a day that you would normally have worked. You will be paid the pay that you usually receive for that day when you work it. This applies whether or not you work full time or part time hours or days. If you do not usually work on the day that falls as a public holiday, then you will not be paid for it.

If your employer asks you to work on a public holiday that falls on a day that you would normally work, and you agree to

this, then you will expect to paid at least timeand-a-half for the hours worked that day, plus an alternative paid holiday day. You do not have to agree to work on the public holiday unless your employment agreement says you have to.

For most people the legal right to be paid for a public holiday is straightforward.

But if you work irregular hours or days this can be more difficult to assess.

If you do not agree with the payment you receive, then the first thing you need to do is check your employment agreement.

If you do not have an agreement, then you should ask your employer to provide you with one as they are legally obliged to give each employee an employment agreement.

If you still feel you have not received the correct payment then you may need to contact the Employment Relations Authority to resolve the matter.

“It’s a really good thing for people,” Nicky said of the weekly event. “That’s why I wanted to take over and keep it going, because, it seems shame to let it finish up.”

Cambridge Care and Craft has been running

locally since 1977, providing disabled people and members of the community with a chance to socialise and enjoy a range of activities. It’s on every Monday from 9.30am until noon, with morning tea and lunches provided at $4 per person

to cover costs.

“Some people do reading, some people do knitting, some people to painting, but it’s more of a social environment, there aren’t rules, you don’t have to sit down and do crafts, it’s just a social get together and everybody looks out

for each other and makes sure everybody’s okay,” said Nicky.

Those who wish to volunteer for Cambridge Care and Craft, or anyone who would like to join in on the social activities, can contact Nicky Booth on 8237445 or 027 236 3942.

RDA says thanks, but more support needed

By Sophie Iremonger

Supporters of the Cambridge Riding for the Disabled (RDA) gathered at their grounds near the Gaslight Theatre last week for an informal thank-you event, with dignitaries including Waipa Mayor Jim Mylchreest and equine legend. Sir Patrick Hogan joining in the festivities.

Horses were on hand for RDA riders to enjoy, whilst members of the organisation both thanked supporters and encourage further aid.

“RDA is not government funded,” said New Zealand RDA Chief Executive Guy Ockenden. “We rely on the community, and as such, we believe we have this huge debt to repay to you. We hope, through your friends, through your influence, through the people you know, you can encourage them to contribute their time, their energy, their skills, and their money, to help make this place work.

“RDA makes it easier for people to take control of their lives and live the same dreams that we have,

and we’re about making it happen… We would like you to share morning tea with us, in our grateful thanks for your support.”

Cambridge RDA provides their service for just $7.50 per ride, though it actually costs the organisation about $25.50 each ride.

“It’s up to this group of volunteers to raise the rest of the money, and it’s getting harder and harder to do that… last year had 17,000 in donations, but that’s dried up, donations

have dropped right off, and part of the problem could be our own success, people tend to think we’re doing well,” said Greg Gascoigne, fund manager of the Cambridge RDA. “We have to work harder and try a different means of covering the cost of operation for this to survive, it is such an important organisation within the community… and we’re looking for the people who can help us and support us more.”

Sir Patrick Hogan

attended the morning tea as the organisation’s official patron. “I’ve been a lazy patron,” Sir Patrick joked. “I’ve been so busy.”

His involvement with the local RDA began many years ago as a trustee of the Rodmore Trust, which supported the organisation, and for the last five years as patron.

With the recent sale of his iconic Cambridge Stud, Sir Patrick confirmed he has still kept 500 acres of local land, as well as his race horses and a few brood

mares. “I’ve sold 90 percent and kept 10 percent… It’ll probably end up, with the 10 percent, I’ll be as busy as I was with the hundred percent,” he laughed.

support the Cambridge RDA, which includes the option of sponsoring a horse, can contact cambridge@rda.org.nz, phone 021 902 892, or visit www.rda-cambridge.com.

Cambridge’s loss is about to become Hawera’s gain as Jenny and Gordon ‘Rusty’ Baker head back to the co

By Viv Posselt

The Bakers have both been the somewhat reluctant stars at several farewells over the past week or so.

Jenny, who leaves the Cambridge Health and Community Centre after 23 years, was toasted at both a Trust luncheon on December 1 and then at

the centre’s annual Christmas party a few days later. Husband Gordon – or ‘Rusty’ as he is best known – was a special attendee at the December 8 Cambridge Middle School’s farewell to principal Ross Tyson. As Ross bowed out of his role after 17 years, so Gordon said goodbye after 14 years as the school’s caretaker.

With all that merry-making over the space of a week, both Jenny and Rusty signed off on almost 58 years of combined work effort in Cambridge – years in which they unwittingly cemented themselves into the hearts of the town’s residents.

“We had both been thinking we needed to retire … we just needed a bit of a nudge,” Jenny smiled. “Now is the right time for us; I’m very excited about what the future holds.”

That ‘nudge’ came in the form of an unsolicited offer on the house they built five years ago in Tulip Drive.

It was a very respectable offer, and the Bakers viewed it as the opportunity they

Jenny and Gordon ‘Rusty’ Baker have retired and are leaving Cambridge

had been waiting for to launch this next chapter in their lives.

So, it’s back to Taranaki they go. Back to Hawera where they grew up, met on a blind date some 55 years ago, and wed almost 50 years ago. It is where some of their family remain and some are buried, where they made memories as kids and teens and where their four children were born, and where the odd school chum still lingers.

One of Jenny’s marching friends from her youth recognised her in the street during a recent visit. It was a happy, hope-filled reminder of just how deep those Hawera roots lie.

The Bakers have long been the personification of the saying “good things take time”, a characterisation that also started in Hawera. The town is where Gordon began his 35-year career in the dairy industry, and where Jenny took her first post-school job at the local VW dealership before moving on to the Farmer’s Co-op.

Gordon’s working life became all about cheese. When the Bakers came to Cambridge in 1983, it was so Gordon could take up a job as assistant dairy manager at Hautapu under the then Waikato Dairy Company. Later, as manager for 15 years, Gordon steered the operation and courted international cheese markets with infinite patience and tenacity, and he was largely instrumental in bringing to New Zealand the delicious dry salted mozzarella variety.

Jenny also displayed an innate ability to turn a slow burn into real success. When the family had grown, she decided to do a social and community work certificate at Wintec, and eyed out the one-time maternity home for the required three-month practicum component of the course.

“The timing wasn’t great – soon after I started the Trust experienced difficulties due to the lack of tenants, and were laying off staff. I asked them if I could stay on for free, said I’d answer the phones and keep the place open, and they agreed.

“Kiri Gray, who was on the Trust and was also involved with Cambridge Community House, oversaw what I was doing. She’d come every Friday and we started cleaning out all the

rooms. Then at the end o wrote to the Trust thanki telling them how much I asking them to take me o never done anything that here I am, 23 years later!”

Jenny worked tirelessly board and perfected the a funding applications. Tod to various community gr meeting rooms are in con “A lot of people think t it’s because I’ve been her looks that way.”

One was for her volunteer service under difficult circumstances, the second was for her 23 years of “outstanding, exceptional and dedicated service” to the Trust, and the third was for displaying a “sterling quality throughout the establishment of the Magnolia Lounge”, a building brought on site and adapted to provide a day care facility for Resthaven’s dementia patients and a day club for the public.

Jenny replied by describing her tenure with the centre as “utterly amazing”.

“This has been the best job I have ever had.

Right from the start, I knew this place could work, and we have had an enormous amount of fun making it happen. I don’t think there has been a single day in 23 years that I haven’t wanted to come to work.

enny’s farewell, with Gordon ‘Rusty’ Baker, Jenny, daughter hter Katie.

“I have loved the people, loved being my own boss, loved organising and seeing things happen,” she added. “And the Trust – well, they are fabulous. I have been very lucky with them.”

Gordon lent a hand at the centre whenever he could, and for years they beavered away together for the good of the community. “This place has been a huge part of our life - Gordon only stopped mowing the lawns here about a year ago,” said Jenny.

The shift to a different sort of life has been long coming. They will move back to Hawera, tackle a new house and section, set themselves up as house-sitters both in New Zealand and internationally, and move to a new rhythm – one that will give them time with their children and grandchildren.

Gordon was in senior management role in the largest cheese manufacturing plant in the southern hemisphere until he was 55. He

was once told that being in a high-pressured career can shorten your life by a decade. It was something that weighed heavily on his mind, and was behind his decision to retire early enough to be able to take on different roles at both Cambridge East and Cambridge Middle Schools.

“Young people today put themselves under tremendous stress by wanting the best of everything. To get it, both parents work all hours and there is much less interaction with the children. It isn’t good for anyone in the end.

“Moving from working 40 hours a week to doing nothing is going to be challenging for me.

I’ve given myself two to five years to adjust to it.”

Not so for Jenny.

“I’ve enjoyed every moment of my working life, but I’m really looking forward to doing absolutely nothing for a while,” she grinned.

More medals for track cyclists

By Sophie Iremonger

New Zealand’s Elite team of track cyclists bagged two victories and a silver medal on the final day of the UCI Track Cycling World Cup in Chile on Monday.

The men’s team pursuit, made up of Nick Kergozou, Harry Waine, Campbell Stewart and Jared Gray, with

an average age of just 19 years, not only won the 4000m final in dominant fashion but produced two personal bests, including a stunning 3:54.618 gold medal effort on the slick Peñalolen Velodrome in Santiago.

The female pairing of Racquel Sheath and Michaela Drummond controlled the women’s two-person madison for the gold medal, dominating the 20km tworider event and winning points in all eight sprints.

Natasha Hansen doubled up to impress in the women’s keirin, winning her semifinal ride impressively before the long wait until the final, where she was forced to go three-wide on the final bend from last place to claim second, just a wheel from winner Madalyn Godby (USA) who led throughout.

The day before, Hansen broke her own record qualifying for the women’s individual sprint with her 10.840s effort clipping 3/100ths of a second off her own national record. Other top efforts on Day 2 saw

the women’s team pursuit and men’s madison record victories.

The women’s team pursuit combination of Rushlee Buchannan, Kirstie James, Bryony Botha and Racquel Sheath bettered their silver medal victory from last week by a significant margin, winning the final over Italy with a new best for this team, a time of 4:17.804 – only 0.2s outside the national record set at the Rio Olympics.

The teenage pairing of Campbell Stewart and Tom Sexton, who claimed the silver medal in the madison last week in Canada, went one better with a dominant display to win the men’s 30km madison with 32 points.

It proved an excellent return for the largely Cambridge-based New Zealand squad, who won the leading team award at last week’s World Cup round in Canada, and at this week’s round in Chile.

Himalayan cedar or Deodar (Cedrus deodara) As its name suggests the deodar is native to the Western Himalayas in eastern Afghanistan, northern Pakistan and India, southwest Tibet and Nepal. It usually grows at altitudes of 1500 to 3000 metres in mixed forests with other conifers and broadleaf trees such as oak, chestnut, maple and birch. At maturity the deodar may reach 50 or 60 metres in height, and the oldest known living one is 745 years. Both drought and cold hardy, it has an attractive pyramidal form with pendulous branch tips, beautifully demonstrated by this specimen growing in Lamb St. In India the deodar is a sacred tree; its Sanskrit name, devadaru, means wood of the gods. Hindu legends frequently refer to the tree, and deodar forests were favourite dwelling places for Indian sages. It is used in Ayurvedic medicine and aromatherapy; the essential oil of the inner wood is effective as insect repellent and fungicide. This inner

Cambridge Tree Trust wishes to thank:

wood is used in buildings for storing meat, spices and grain. Although deodar is a brittle wood it is rot-resistant and was therefore in demand for building, especially for temples, and also houseboats. It is close-grained and will therefore take a high polish. During the British colonial period deodar was used to construct barracks, public buildings, bridges, canals and railway carriages. Today in the West the deodar is usually an ornamental tree, but in New Zealand it is also often used for shelter on dry slopes.

Right Royal Roast

There’s something regally festive about a crown roast. Capped with little frilly paper hats, the end of the rib bones of lamb, pork or a veal rib roast, stand proudly in a circle forming a dish fit for a monarch.

I’ve always thought crown roasts were an English

tradition as a recipe I have dates back to 1910.

But no, the crown roast was an American creation designed to entice people to eat lamb in a nation not interested in this meat.

Crown roasts are best prepared by your butcher

(ensure you order well in advance) and can consist of two to four racks depending on their size and the number of guests. You can always cook two crowns — one slightly smaller than the other — and stand the smaller in the centre of the bigger

one for a two-tiered effect.

Crown roasts are easy to carve and can be roasted with or without stuffing and enjoyed hot or cold.

Since the meat is cooked on the bone it tends to have great flavour.

Crown Roast of Lamb Ask your butcher to prepare the crown or make your own using 2 large racks of lamb and tie them together at the ends with string to form a crown — fat-side inside.

Stuffing: 1/2 cup each: couscous, hot herb stock 2 shallots, diced 1 tablespoon olive oil freshly ground black pepper to taste 1 teaspoon each: chopped rosemary, thyme leaves 1 egg, lightly beaten Lamb: 1 tablespoon olive oil 12-14 cutlet crown roast lamb 1/2 cup red currant or red wine jelly, melted Place the couscous in a medium bowl and add

the hot stock. Stir then stand until the liquid has been absorbed by the couscous.

Sauté the shallots in the oil, until softened. Using a fork fluff the couscous and add the shallots, black pepper, herbs and egg.

Preheat the oven to 190°C. Brush a roasting pan with the oil and add the roast. Press the stuffing into the centre of the crown. Brush the meat with melted jelly. Protect the end of the bones with a small piece of foil.

Roast for about 35 minutes until the meat is brown on the outside and pink inside with an internal temperature of 70°C. Brush often with the jelly.

Top the end of the bones with paper frills. Serve hot or cold. Serves about 6.

Crispy Roast Potatoes I was at the Cambridge Farmers’ Market last week and picked up something new from Cato’s potato and garlic stand — Arran Banner potatoes. They’re great par-boiled then roasted.

500g Arran Banner potatoes rice bran oil for roasting 2-3 tablespoons flour or cornflour salt and pepper to taste Peel the spuds and boil until half cooked — that

is, they should be slightly firm in the centre.

Drain and cool for a few minutes.

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Add 3-6 tablespoons of rice bran oil to a roasting pan and heat.

Hold a potato with a fork and score the outside with another fork to make them rough. Repeat with the remaining potatoes. Shake the scored potatoes in a plastic bag with seasoned flour.

Place in the pan and roast for 20-30 minutes or until cooked, turning once. Serves 4-6.

Chermoula Beef A beef fillet is given the Moroccan treatment.

Chermoula: 2 teaspoons ground cumin 2 teaspoons smoked paprika 1 clove garlic, crushed 1/4 cup lemon juice 1/2-3/4 cup olive oil 1 cup each: lightly packed parsley, coriander leaves Beef: 750g piece beef fillet 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 teaspoon smoked paprika freshly ground black pepper to taste To make the sauce, heat the cumin and paprika in a pan until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Place in a blender with the garlic, lemon juice and a 1/2 cup of olive oil and mix until smooth. Add the herbs then pulse until almost smooth. Add more oil if too tangy. This can be prepared a day ahead and chilled.

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Brush the beef with oil. Rub with the smoked paprika and black pepper. Brown all over in a

hot frying pan for about 1-2 minutes. Place in the oven and cook for 8-10 minutes depending on the thickness. Cover loosely with foil and stand for 5-10 minutes. Serve hot or cold.

Great served dotted with a little of the chermoula and pomegranate seeds. Serves 6.

Interesting discoveries on latest tramp Submitted by the Cambridge Tramping Club It’s not often that a tramp combines a good workout through bush and over farmland with a geology lesson and nature study set in an amazing karst landscape. The Cambridge Tramping Club’s day on the Stubbs farm, Waitomo, did just that. Under the guidance of family members, we heard about dolines and polygonal karst; saw tomos and fluted rock outcrops (some with fossils) and walked through a limestone cavern that had once been a cave. We were impressed by the effort it must have taken to install pre-cast concrete steps through the cavern and make them look natural. This area is used for the annual Waitomo Trail Run. On another part of the farm, there were two neighbouring streams going in opposite directions – one heading west to Marokopa, the other ending up at Port Waikato. A large koura was found in one of the streams but the highlight for many of us was seeing for the first time, a peripatus, one of the more unusual animals of the forest floor, forming a link between worms and insects. Afternoon tea on the deck at our host’s house capped off a most enjoyable day. The next event on 21 January 2018 will be our annual track maintenance on the Kaimai Ranges.

Cricket match marks Resthaven’s 45th

Submitted by Cambridge Resthaven It’s not every day an organisation turns 45 years, so Cambridge Resthaven decided to celebrate this impressive milestone in a rather special way, by having a residents’ and staff cricket match.

The date for the cricket match was set, 23 November, but with no guarantee of fine weather at this time of year, an indoor venue was chosen - the “Kiwi Corridor”.

Teammates ranged in age from their 20s to 90s, so there were some logistics to work out, with traditional cricket rules not playing a big part!

The “corridor cricket” teams wore blue (in a nod to the tradition of sapphire as the colour for a 45th anniversary); the residents were the batters and staff members were the runners. There were no ‘outs’, a ‘6’ was if the

ball went under a wheelchair and got stuck, and the pompom-waving residents, who lined the corridor, had the final say on who won the game.

Standout cricket players on the day were Kezias Ndoro, one of the senior nurses, who was the fastest runner, George Reynolds the most creative batter (for aiming the ball under wheelchairs) and Betty Addenbrooke the most competitive player.

When the overs were over, the two teams and their supporters joined together for an afternoon tea of blue cupcakes and a celebration of the 45 years.

Cambridge Resthaven was officially opened on 25 November 1972 by the Hon. Lance Adams-Schneider the Minister of Health and Social Welfare, but planning had started many years before. In the early 1960s

the community identified that it needed a rest home for the elderly in the Cambridge area. At the time, the nearest rest home was in Hamilton. Fundraising started in 1964, the Cambridge Resthaven Trust Board was established in 1966, and what followed was a massive community effort by many groups and individuals, to turn the dream into reality.

Cambridge Resthaven CEO David Hall said, “A lot has changed in the care of the elderly in the 45 years, and Cambridge Resthaven now provides services in all areas of retirement living, including a retirement village, rest home, continuing care, dementia care and a community day club. We are proud to have been part of the Cambridge community for 45 years, and look forward to many more years to come.”

Cambridge Community Board report Mike Pettit, chair of the Cambridge Community Board Tēnā koutou, hello to all and Merry Christmas, With Christmas just around the corner and many people holidaying away from Cambridge it is a time to make sure your property is left safe and secure. Lock everything, leave some lights on timers, get neighbours to check your property and clear

your letterbox.

The Board has sent an Official Information Act request asking for a variety of crime statistics regarding Cambridge and comparisons with other towns in the Waikato. The good news is more police are about to arrive in our town to help support the great work our local constabulary are doing.

The town very much values the work police do with the

resources they have.

We had a presentation from Kelly Ellis and Aiden Boswell around Safe Ways to School through biking and walking. The information gathered from children and parents was a pilot that has now been offered to other schools. It will help schools communicate the safest ways to school, safe drop off zones and give council excellent information

around the installation of future pedestrian crossings, cycle lanes and the widening of footpaths.

The Thornton Road upgrade is due for completion before Christmas with the widening of the footpath scheduled after that. This will allow for safe biking also.

No heavy truck parking signs are being placed around the roads boarding

Victoria Square and angle parking lines are being installed along Queen Street.

Also in the public forum was the timing of the Christmas Parade. It was proposed that holding the parade later in the day would benefit businesses and also children would not have to wait in the heat.

Building consents are on the rise again with 28 issued in October with an

average house build price of $459,829.

I wish to acknowledge the work our board members do and their involvement in our community, as well as the great work undertaken

by Waipa Council staff, both behind the scenes and in public positions.

On behalf of the Cambridge Community Board I wish you all a happy and safe festive season.

Boomerang Bags booming Plastic Bag Free Cambridge will be at the Farmers’ Market again on Saturday, with their reusable bags.

You’ll need to be quick, though, because they ran out of Boomerang Bags by 10.30am last time, not bad considering they took well over 100 to the stall. Sam Brydon from Plastic Bag Free Cambridge said that the generosity of donations paid for more op-shop fabric, and some people brought fabric along to donate to the cause. She also said the Lettuce Man, Ian Kerr, is using the group’s produce bags, made from material such as net curtains, as an alternative

to single-use plastic bags. The group has also been awarded a grant for $3263 from council as part of the Waste Minimisation Community Fund. The money will go towards a sewing machine, mats and cutters, as well as sewing machine repairs. The Boomerang Bag concept was originally that the bags would be used and come back for others to borrow, however the Cambridge group just wants people to get behind the move away from single-use plastic bags. And judging by the response last time, lots of other people in town feel the same way.

Star Wars: Episode VIII The Last Jedi

It is the second film in the Star Wars sequel trilogy. The film sees the return of Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Adam Driver, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Lupita Nyong'o, Domhnall Gleeson, Anthony Daniels, Gwendoline Christie, and Andy Serkis. New cast members include Benicio Del Toro, Laura Dern, and Kelly Marie Tran. The Last Jedi begins immediately after the events of Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens, set thirty years after the conclusion of the original Star Wars trilogy. It continues the story of Rey and her discovery of the exiled Jedi Master Luke Skywalker, along with the story of the war between General Leia Organa's Resistance and the First Order.

"This is not going to go the way you think." – Luke Skywalker.

The Son Of Bigfoot

Teenage outsider Adam sets out on an epic and daring quest to uncover the mystery behind his long-lost dad, only to find out that he is none other than the legendary Bigfoot! He has been hiding deep in the forest for years to protect himself and his family from HairCo., a giant corporation eager to run scientific experiments with his special DNA. As father and son start making up for lost time after the boy's initial disbelief, Adam soon discovers that he too is gifted with superpowers beyond his imagination. But little do they know, HairCo. is on their tail as Adam's traces have led them to Bigfoot. A great school holiday film. It is a thrilling family adventure with an aspirational story of self-discovery and superpowers with funny taglines.
