Easter Sunday no-go

By Sophie Iremonger Waipa District Council confirmed their official decision this week that there will be no Easter Sunday trading in the district.

Nearly 600 people gave submissions on the topic during the council’s consultation process, with 70 percent voting in favour of sticking with the status quo and remaining closed on Easter Sunday.

Some local businesses owners and the Cambridge Chamber of Commerce have expressed their disappointment in the

decision, however councillor Liz Stolwyk said council was simply following what the public wanted.

“It wasn’t an easy decision but my vote essentially went with the public,” said Ms Stolwyk, one of the Waipa District councillors who voted in favour of remaining closed. “We received a lot more submissions than we would receive on many of our other consultations, so obviously the community were very interested in it.

“There are other councils that have made different decisions, but we have to listen to

Sandra Webb from Heritage Gallery wanted shopkeepers to be allowed to decide whether to open on Easter Sunday or not.

our community. My voice represents the community, and you can’t go against the numbers.”

Mayor Jim Mylchreest, deputy mayor Grahame Webber and councillor Bruce Thomas voted in favour of allowing shops to make the decision for themselves.

“We’ve missed an opportunity,” said Tania Witheford, CEO of the Cambridge Chamber of Commerce. “It wasn’t going to be compulsory that everyone had to open, but we were creating the opportunity for businesses to have choice about whether or not they open.”

Witheford highlighted the fact that Hamilton had also opted for shops to remain closed on Easter Sunday, so Cambridge could have potentially gained those who couldn’t shop in Hamilton.

“And if you look at any of the other destinations that are nearby, Waitomo, Matamata, Taupo, they’ve all opted for Easter trading as an option, so they’re forwardthinking, I think.”

Local businesses owners were of similar view to Witheford.

“We’re missing a big opportunity because Cambridge is increasingly becoming a destination weekend for out of towners, and if the shops are not open they sort of go away thinking there’s nothing to do in Cambridge,” said Sandra Webb at Heritage Gallery. “Shopping is now a recreation, not just a necessity for people, so I think they’ve made the wrong decision there.

“It should be up to the individual shop keepers. I’d like to see the whole of Cambridge open.”

The Ministry for Business, Industry and the Environment (MBIE) will continue to be responsible for policing the Easter trading law.

Letter to the Editor Cambridge Ann’s Patch newsroom update This week I am excited to report that I got into my first ever media scrum, when the National Party bus rolled into town. There were even elbows and a bit of jostling, which was quite invigorating (until it wasn’t). The whole thing was quite a spectacle, and I’m sure that everyone both on the bus and off it is glad that it’s all over. At least it will be when Winston makes up his mind. A friend of mine said that when explaining MMP to friends overseas, he tells them that “everyone votes and then a man called Winston Peters decides who wins.” Which would be much funnier if it wasn’t true. Obviously as the media we are impartial here in the newsroom, but any sort of long and drawn out

A Cambridge walk way called Ann’s patch, that starts in Gillies street just below Wackrow’s joinery, and comes out just below short of the low-level bridge, has recently suffered some rather severe damage by vandals using an axe and saw to cut down several 20-year-old Maple trees. Two years ago, some of the bluebells, which the Tree Trust planted, were damaged right on flowering time by bikes being ridden through them. We have no objection to bikes being ridden in that area but why damage the bluebells and cut down trees for what seems like no apparent purpose? It would be appreciated if the persons responsible for the damage could turn up on a Tuesday morning at our depot on Thornton Road and take a look at what we do, and give some help to the Tree Trust to plant trees and not destroy them. The Tree Trust joins with police in asking the public to use the track more often, which we hope will prevent further vandalism.

National Party bus rolls into town

By Claire Castle

The National Party bus made a flying visit to Cambridge on Friday, travelling from Wellington to Auckland in a final burst of campaigning before Saturday’s election. Deputy Prime Minister Paula Bennett and Finance Minister Steven Joyce were the heavy-hitters on board, but the star of the show was undoubtedly Prime Minister Bill English. Media took up 14 seats on the bus, along with 18 Young Nats making the two-day pilgrimage up the country.

Te Awamutu teenager, Katie Ollerenshaw (18), said Paula Bennett was ‘mama’ on the bus, giving them advice and joining in with the singing. Fellow Young Nat, Mason Dowie (21), said there were a small number of Young Libs from Australia on the bus and around 10 or 11 Young Nats following behind in a convoy.

It was standing room only as Bill English urged the crowd at Good Union not to take the country backwards, pointing to the government’s track record which he said made New Zealand’s economy “one of the better performing economies in the Western World.”

“Businesses like Good Union are competing for young workers – isn’t that great?” he said.

He also pointed to the benefits of the Waikato Expressway to the region, saying there would eventually be four lanes from Auckland to the foot of the Kaimai Ranges. “You just have to drive through here to see the work going on.” Then it was time for a quick interview with the assembled television cameras and they were off, continuing their journey to secure lastminute votes before the election.

And judging by Saturday’s result, Jessica Upston (13), daughter of local MP Louise Upston, meeting Prime Minister Bill English on Friday. they were successful.

Louise Upston does it again

By Claire Castle

It was all smiles at Louise Upston’s house on Sunday, as she hosted a small gathering of party faithful to celebrate her election victory. Claire Castle went along for the festivities.

After a gruelling interview process, Louise Upston has secured her job in Parliament for another three years. Even though results will not be finalised until October 7 when

South Waikato Volunteers Julie Thomas (left, formerly of Cambridge) and Gray Baldwin debriefing with Louise Upston on Sunday.

special votes are in, she has an unassailable lead over her nearest rival in the Taupō electorate, which includes Cambridge.

Ms Upston spent election night in Taupo with partner Hamish Craig, her family and local volunteers, returning to her Cambridge home on Sunday to celebrate the result with supporters here.

Among the 20 guests at Ms Upston’s home on Sunday was Philippa Baker, who said she would have liked an outright majority but the result was still better than having the Labour alternative. “Bill English is a pair of safe hands,” she added.

Those sentiments were shared by others, and Ms Upston credited the support she has received from her electorate crew for her return to Parliament. “You don’t get results like this unless you’ve worked for three years,” she told guests.

Special thanks went to her children and partner Hamish, who she said deserved a break from

ruby 3 seater

putting up hoardings around the electorate.

At the latest count, Ms Upston had secured 21,757 electorate votes, while the National Party received 19,136. This appears to indicate that more than 2,500 voters crossed party lines to vote for Ms Upston but gave their party tick to another party.

Labour candidate Ala’ Al-Bustanji received 8,763 electorate votes while Labour secured 9,618 party votes, and New Zealand First secured 3,126 party votes without standing a candidate in the electorate.

Ms Upston said voter loyalty might be because when constituents come into her office for help, “it doesn’t matter if they voted for me or not.”

As for the corflute hoardings, which are notoriously difficult to dispose of in an environmentallyfriendly way, a Taupo Envirogroup will make some into bug huts and pest traps, while the rest might have to go into the garage for Hamish and the team to put up next time.

Newly-appointed Pakistani women’s cricket coach Mark Coles

By Claire Castle Cambridge cricket coach Mark Coles is heading off to Pakistan this weekend, the first Western coach of the Pakistani women’s cricket team.

Ranked 7th in the world, the team will face New Zealand – ranked 3rd - in Dubai at the International Cricket Council’s (ICC) Women’s Championship at the end of October.

“It’s going to be hard when the anthem’s sung…

I’m not sure of the words to the Pakistani anthem,” Mark laughed. “There are a whole lot of things to learn.”

Joking aside, Mark said part of him was “absolutely terrified” by the task ahead.

He will have the same security measures in place as other international coaches, adding that he “doesn’t look good in orange” - referring to the orange jumpsuits favoured by terrorist groups in their execution videos. He laughed, but security was clearly at the forefront of his mind.

Pakistan is more than 90% Muslim and women are not permitted to be unchaperoned in the company of men, so he will need staff around at all times. Despite religious dogma, Mark said the women will be permitted to wear regular cricket attire, rather than the traditional hijab.

SeniorNet talks cybersecurity Supplied by SeniorNet

The September social meeting of SeniorNet was addressed

by Kerrin O’Regan and Simon Dumble of Green Mouse (formerly PC Care). Members were told about some of the methods used by cybercrooks, intent on getting money out of people. Phishing is sending an email in an attempt to steal your identity. These emails often contain threats, such as “your account will be closed if you don’t respond” and they usually contain a link. Don’t click the

link! If you hover your mouse over the link this will show the true address the email has come from, and it’s not your bank or credit card company. A clue to the scam is that the English and grammar are often faulty. Treat all attachments with suspicion and never click on a link ending in .exe.

Ransomware is where a‘Trojan’ is sent disguised as a normal file.

This encrypts the victim’s files making them inaccessible and a fee is demanded to decrypt them. This infection can access a computer by email, by a victim

accessing an infected website, or through an infected network.

It is important to have your data backed up, with a second hard drive, on discs or using cloud storage.

But beware – if a second drive is connected to the main computer at the time of infection, its data may be corrupted as well. Also, good security software is essential.

Members showed their appreciation for the staff at Green Mouse who have provided excellent support to SeniorNet.

Radios silent after gale Wild winds knocked out a radio transmission mast just north of Cambridge on Tuesday afternoon, silencing many of New Zealand’s most popular radio stations across the Waikato. The top three sections of the structure on Gray Road in Ruru, near Te Miro, were ripped off in blustery conditions, leaving the FM tower reportedly “mangled”.

A spokesperson for NZME Radio said

they hoped to get someone up the mast on Wednesday, but it would depend on weather conditions as they did not want to put anyone at risk if the high winds continued. “Otherwise it could be the end of the week,” he said.

It is hoped that the Media Works and NZME stations affected – including Radio Hauraki, Radio Live, Radio Sport, and the Hits – will be back on air by the time this paper reaches your mailbox.

Replica labour of love

By Claire Castle

There were other projects in between, and Roger estimates that his 1:24 model of Cambridge retiree Roger Dean has almost the church has taken him approximately a finished his replica of St Andrew’s church, six year of solid work. years after he started it.

Every detail has been carefully reproduced,

CAMBRIDGE NEWS | 7

including the art around the walls and the church’s stained-glass windows.

Roger’s son-in-law photographed the windows and the pictures, which were then shrunk down to fit the model.

Miniature pews, working lights and even a replica of the carpet in the historic church have been included, along with 1376 pipes on the tiny organ (there are 2000 in the church itself, he said).

He even has a CD of bellringing recorded at the church to accompany his model.

The hardest part was making the corrugated roofing, Roger said. Putting thin metal through a paper crimper, he tried copper and cut flattened lemonade cans before settling on very thin sheets of brass from Auckland.

The replica is made of kauri, which Roger said is the same as the original, and it has a pine frame.

Roger showcased the church at a recent meeting of the Cambridge Woodturners’ Club, before a crowd of around 30 people.

A small patch of paint on the outside The view into the miniature church, complete with working lights. is all that is left to finish, and then the tiny building will be complete.

Roger is planning to donate the church to Cambridge, and he hopes it will find a home somewhere that everyone can enjoy it.

Why you shouldn’t ‘tweak’ your insurance claim (it’s not just a little white lie) Eight months after moving into our brand new dream home, a massive power surge blew up our brand new appliances, the switchboard, lights and various other things.

While it was a hassle not having a dishwasher or range-hood or sound from our TV for many weeks, the process of claiming on our fire and general insurance was a total eye opener for us.

Setting aside the seemingly antiquated process of claiming, we were surprised at the attitude of one of our key suppliers.

Our excess was $500 and one of our suppliers suggested that they inflate their costs for repair so that the insurer would pay more, and therefore have our excess covered.

Of course, we immediately said ‘no thanks’, but it got me thinking about how many people consider that inflating the value of an insurance claim is fair game, as the only people that are being hurt is the insurance company.

However, this is not true. Aside from the moral/ ethical principles of inflating an insurance claim, an inflated insurance claim means that the insurer makes less profit. This ultimately is reflected in increased insurance premiums for all and tighter wording, which disadvantages everyone, not just the people who are ‘telling a white lie’.

While ‘embellishers’ may have got away with this practice historically, technology has changed things significantly.

Technology now enables insurers to use anti-fraud technology, which includes mining of big data to help insurers match patterns, and augments human intuition. Technology can pick up that you were at a swim-up pool bar on the same day that you told your travel insurance company that you were sick in hospital, what your IP address is when your policy was taken out (picking up if you are already travelling overseas when you take out your travel insurance), but is also able to pick up organised crime.

In addition, insurance companies check the Insurance Claims Register, and the Hall of Shame, as well as using predictive modelling systems to compare claims against known fraud indicators.

Today there is a real risk that you will get caught if you are defrauding an insurance company and it has serious consequences. As well as having your claim denied, if you are listed on the insurance claims register, you may not be able to qualify for a mortgage, as you won’t be able to get house insurance. A fraudulent claim can also result in criminal charges being laid.

Tweaking your insurance claim is not different to any other situation of honesty in your life. It is not a victimless action, and the human and technological tools mean that you are highly likely to get caught and the ramifications can be extremely serious.

Beginnings of a dairy giant In 1885 the Fencourt Land Company built a butter factory at Hautapu which housed a refrigeration plant and two large Alfa Laval separators.

The factory was taken over by Watt and Hally in 1889 who continued to make butter and cheese as well as operate a bacon factory.

Cambridge Co-operative Dairy Company was formed in 1901 and purchased the Hautapu factory for £2,068. At the time there was only one milking machine in the district, a Laurence Kennedy machine installed on W.N. Sturges’ farm at Pukerimu. Dairy farmers hand-milked around eight cows an hour, and many did 28-30 cows each milking. By 1907, milking machines were coming into general use.

In its first year, the company manufactured 83 tons of butter and made a payout to its suppliers of 8.895d per pound of butterfat. The company expanded, opening skimming plants at Roto-orangi in 1903, Tamahere in 1904, and others over the following years. As home separators became available, farmers separated cream from skim milk on the farm, which meant they only had to transport about one-tenth the previous volume to the butter factory.

In 1914 the company switched to cheese production and in 1918 became interested in dried milk

powder. After a few disastrous attempts it finally produced powder in 1921 only to stop production almost immediately as it proved unprofitable. World War II brought considerable demand for butter and cheese. By 1951, after operating for 50 years, butter production increased to 2,044 tons per year, as well as 2,170 tons of cheese.

Across town in 1886, Henry Reynolds established a butter factory at Pukekura and the factory started the famous Anchor brand a year later. Reynolds built eight new creameries and exported to England before he was bought out by the New Zealand Dairy Association.

William Goodfellow set up the Waikato Valley Co-operative Dairy Company which later merged with the Thames Valley Co-operative Dairy Company and the New Zealand Dairy Association in 1919 to form the New Zealand Co-operative Dairy Company. The country’s largest co-operative, with its genesis in Waipa, today operates under the name Fonterra.

Revamped layout for Lions’ shed

By Sophie Iremonger The Cambridge Lions have been hard at work in the local Lions’ Shed lately – no different from their usual busy schedule – but this time they’ve been renovating and refurbishing the shed to make it more spacious and manoeuvrable for everyone.

A change of layout, new shelving and a shift in how items are stored has seen the shed transformed into a bright and more spacious secondhand shop which is much easier to explore for those with

limited mobility.

Gone are the narrow aisles and occasionally-cluttered areas, with each department reorganised and in some cases broken down into smaller sections, making it easier to find the great deals and special items that the Lions Shed is known for.

The entrance has been transformed to a spacious and more welcoming walk-in, where display shelves with some of the more valuable items have been placed.

The clothing area has been re-organised, making it easier

Stylish Outdoor Rooms

to check out the different selections, including men’s clothing, women’s, and kids’ clothing.

The furniture department has been expanded, with a whiteware section introduced, and a new fire alarm system has been installed.

The Cambridge Lions wish to add that any locals interested in joining the club or volunteering at the shed are more than welcome – you don’t have to be ‘old’ to join, all walks of life are involved with the Cambridge Lions.

Donations of good, saleable

See us at the Waikato Homeshow 5-8 October For a FREE quote call 0800 FRESCO 0800 373 726 frescoshades.co.nz

items are also encouraged. All proceeds raised at the Lions’ Shed go straight back into the Cambridge community – in fact approximately $130,000 of the $150,000 the Cambridge Lions give away each year is generated directly from the

shed.

Practically any and every household or outdoor item can be found there; bicycles, kitchen appliances, tableware, outdoor furniture, couches, beds, cabinetry, children’s toys, the list goes on.

Open on Thursday and Saturday mornings, from 9am to 12pm, the Lions’ Shed can be found at the end of the driveway at 26 Vogel Street, Cambridge - just follow the signs.

Leamington teachers step it up

A three-year-old boy has inspired dozens of Leamington School teachers to go the distance for the Cerebral Palsy Society this month.

Cambridge News visited the school during a special fundraising day to find out more.

By Steph Bell-Jenkins If you’ve walked a long way today and are looking for someone to boast to, the Leamington School staffroom is the last place in Cambridge you should visit.

Anyone who makes that mistake is likely to be shot down in flames by a horde of exercisecrazy teachers, who have spent the month obsessively counting their steps on pedometers to

raise money for cerebral palsy sufferers as part of Steptember.

Each participant commits to reach 10,000 steps a day during September to raise awareness and money for cerebal palsy, a physical disability that affects movement and posture.

As some of those involved meet around the Leamington staffroom table to eat lunch, bravado is rife.

“Call it friendly rivalry,” says Arie Paton, who has been

working her daily totals into her students’ maths lessons and admits she gets “pretty dark” with teammates who don’t perform to expectations.

The inspiration behind the mammoth collective effort is three-year-old Spencer Ballard, whose mother Louise teaches at Leamington School.

Spencer was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at 18 months when his parents went to the doctor regarding his “distinctive

swagger”. The condition causes tightness on the left side of Spencer’s body and he regularly attends the Mackenzie Centre for therapy.

Louise said she was “blown away” by support from colleagues at Leamington School who were keen to support the cause. “We have 12 teams of four, and roughly 36 of those people are Leamington school staff. It makes me feel quite proud, because this

money really does make a difference.”

“Thanks to the sponsorship of friends, family and colleagues, you’ll raise vital funds to help pay for services, programmes, and research into ground-breaking treatments for cerebral palsy,” she said.

Leamington School organised a PJ and Pizza day recently, inviting students to come dressed in their pyjamas and make a gold coin donation.

Students are getting right behind the teachers, following their daily progress with interest and learning about cerebral palsy.

Louise is urging people to “get out there and donate”.

“Even if it’s only a couple of dollars, every bit helps,” she said.

If you would like to make a donation to Spencer’s Angels, please visit www.steptember. org.nz.

Simon Barton puts air r

Nearly four decades of rescuing people brought Simon Barton on a slightly circuitous route to C

By Viv Posselt The Air Desk is a national air ambulance helicopter service launched in Auckland seven months ago. It effectively centralises the dispatch and co-ordination of all emergency air ambulance helicopter resources throughout the country.

As each call for service comes in, it is assessed by Air Desk staff against a specific set of criteria. The helicopter closest to an incident might not be the best response option; questions asked as each call comes in provide information on location, terrain, weather conditions and patient requirements, and determine both the type of helicopter to be dispatched and the make-up of the crew.

The concept sees the helicopter team working closely with land-based response teams, making the final mix one that is streamlined, cost-effective and superefficient in terms of getting exactly the right kind of help where and

when it is needed.

“The reality is that each air rescue has to be able to be justified in terms of cost,” Simon explains. “It might take five minutes to get the information at the outset, but that five minutes could save an additional 30 vital minutes down the track – it could be the

difference between life and death.”

Simon has an extensive record in the air rescue service in this country, both sea and land-based. He found his way into the St John network about two-and-a-half years ago, and was approached soon afterwards to help establish the Air Desk.

“It’s taken around two years to set up. I’m now working with the operators as a liaison between the ambulances and the operators, and doing some of the training,” he said.

“I’m also the liaison between agencies such as ACC and St John, helping coordinate the rescue service activities and resolving any problems that might arise.”

Simon heads up to Auckland for a couple of days

a week on Air Desk activities. Much of the rest of his time in Cambridge is now given to firming up local connections and volunteering with the Cambridge Fire Brigade. There’s a strong likelihood he’ll be one of those valiant individuals who drops what they’re doing and races down to brigade HQ whenever the town siren splits the air – and, like his firefighter colleagues, it’s a commitment he gives willingly.

Simon sees it as a privilege to serve others. It’s a characteristic he has developed over many decades, and one that has put him in the forefront of some gut-churning situations.

At about 13 or 14, the Pukekohe lad joined the Port Waikato Surf Lifesaving Club.

“I always liked the sea. My PE teacher at the time was in the club and said they were looking for more youngsters to join. I did lifeguard training

but also got into other stuff … I ended up jet boat driving with the Auckland Surf Lifesaving Club, mostly at Piha and Port Waikato.

“Myself and one other fellow won the New Zealand Power Boat Rescue Award at one stage. It was for getting six people in two boats out of trouble at Port Waikato.”

When the ‘rubber ducks’ came along to replace the rescue jet boats, Simon transferred to those, and in 1979, became a rescue swimmer on board the rescue helicopter based at Piha.

While still in his mid-teens, he followed his father and grandfather’s path and joined the Royal New Zealand Navy, completing his basic training in Devonport. From there he went on to do sonar training and became a navy diver, becoming one of the country’s youngest ship’s divers at just 16. A six-month exchange to Australia saw him serve with the Australian Navy escort destroyer, the

rescue days behind him

Cambridge over two years ago, and placed him at the helm of New Zealand’s St John Air Desk.

HMAS Derwent, and at age 17, Simon was running the ship’s dive team.

“I was the only qualified diver on board; I had to train up the officers and others in the crew,” he said. “But we weren’t only diving. We were doing things like refuelling at sea and rescue swimming, some of it involving helicopter operations. We’d sometimes have to go overboard while the ship was doing 14 knots [almost 26kph]. Luckily, I was a strong swimmer … swam for the navy, played water polo, swam at least 1km in the pool each day.”

After Australia, Simon returned to New Zealand and joined the multirole vessel, the HMNZS Canterbury.

“It was 1982 and the Falklands War was on. We were in Hong Kong when Muldoon said he was sending the Canterbury to the Falklands. We prepared the ship for war and were heading up the Suez Canal when we were told to go back to the Indian Ocean and relieve two British frigates that were involved in anti-piracy

operations off the coast of Sudan.

We ended up being away for seven months.”

Once home, Simon returned to his earlier role. He joined the Auckland Rescue Helicopter Trust at a time when rescue helicopters were moving from providing summer and weekend cover to a full-time operation, and spent the next 23 years as crewman, crew instructor, crew chief and director of operations. In the latter role, he was managing the rescue helicopters and three fixed wing air ambulances, as well as a staff of around 90.

In the late 1980s, he spent a month in Victoria doing further training with the National Safety Council of Australia. That was around the time when rescue hoists were introduced and helicopter crews had to be trained in how to use them safely.

Simon led much of that training back in New Zealand until a change in the funding structure support saw him leave the service.

Another endeavour had seen him become involved in the establishment of the Childflight NZ programme.

Simon had seen the success of a similar operation in Australia and, together with paediatric specialist Dr Elizabeth Segedin, did a presentation that resulted in the launch of a service which has since saved the lives of many hundreds of children.

Simon spent most of his 38 years associated with air rescue clocking up more than 10,000 hours’ flying time out of Auckland, Hamilton, Taupo, Palmerston North, Tauranga and Rotorua. Throughout those years he was deeply embroiled in training others, and helped develop new rescue equipment.

Given the New Zealand topography and weather conditions, he takes his hat off to local operations, saying they

“do a damn good job”.

“We’re at the top of our game, mainly because we have very good CRM – crew resource management, and good training. Some of the work they do around the country is just fantastic.

“I have spent time in Australia, and in the United States. I’ve looked at the way they run their rescue operations, and we’re right up there with the best of them.”

On a more personal note, Simon has found both great satisfaction and great heartache in the job.

“It really is time for me to finish up,” he said. “I’ve had a few close calls, and there’s no denying that this is a numbers game. I nearly drowned twice while trying to recover people.

I’ve nearly flown into the water off the Northern Cape while flying at night,

had a few close calls while hoisting, had to recover bodies from the water where they had been for a few weeks.

“I’ve helped deliver three babies inflight, but I’ve also had a 14-year-old kid die in my arms. It’s time to put all that behind me.”

While living in Ashhurst just outside Palmerston North, Simon spent eight years with the Ashhurst Fire Brigade, working his way up to the rank of senior firefighter.

Now that he’s adjusted to life in Cambridge – a move made to accommodate a career shift for his university professor wife – he has settled in with the Cambridge Brigade.

“I really enjoy the camaraderie down there – the good male company. My years of flying are behind me, but this is great, too.”

Rowers racing on world stage

Rowing New Zealand’s Cambridge-based team of elite rowers are competing on the waters of Lake Sarasota, USA this week, working their way towards a podium finish in the World Rowing Championships.

The competition wraps up on Sunday, and so far the Kiwi rowers have done remarkably well on the world stage amidst sweltering hot and humid conditions.

After setting a new world best time at World Rowing

Cup II earlier this season, Grace Prendergast and Kerri Gowler took a comfortable win in the women’s pair heat to snare a spot in the A final.

John Storey and Chris Harris, who have had a stellar season already winning two world cup gold medals, powered to victory in the men’s double sculls heat with a five second advantage to contest the semi final.

Brooke Donoghue and Olivia Loe nailed the win in the women’s double sculls heat, to

secure a place in the semi final.

The women’s eight took a scalp in their heat with a win and a progression straight to the A final, holding off powerhouses USA and Great Britain.

The local favourite and historically dominant USA women’s eight could only muster second place behind the black boat of New Zealand, while Great Britain took third.

The finals take place this weekend.

Promotion in reach for Reds

Cambridge will conclude their most successful season ever if they can seal promotion to football’s Northern League in their last match of their 2017 schedule this Saturday.

Having already won four major men’s and women’s titles this year, the club is in a strong position to step up to a higher level of competition next year if their first team can take out the Northern League promotion play-off series.

The Reds are already halfway towards taking out the two-match series against Auckland’s Beachlands Maraetai, with a 4-1 win in the first match last weekend.

Cambridge qualified for the play-off series as the Waikato/Bay of Plenty champions, while Beachlands were runnersup in the Auckland/ A goal from Reds player Donovan Latham brought joy to the team who were wearing black armbands following the death of his grandfather last week.

The key to the side’s success has been a significant improvement in front of goal with the team scoring 105 goals this season – the club’s best return in at least 20 years, and possibly a club record.

Leading goalscorers have been Donovan Latham (24), Callum MacLeod (14), Patrick Woodlock (13), Tom Woutersen (12) and Joshua Clarkin (10).

The Reds’ final match for the season kicks off at the earlier-than-usual time of 2pm at John Kerkhof Park, Vogel St, this Saturday.

Local plumber takes honours A long-time Cambridge business has been recognised as the crème of the crop in the region following the last weekend’s 2017 Waikato Master Plumbers awards night.

Chris Ryan Plumbing and Drainage was named Waikato Master Plumber of the Year, putting him in the running for the national awards in March.

“I was blown away, I didn’t know what to say,” said Chris Ryan. “We went along sort of thinking we were making up the numbers really!” he laughed, “It was certainly a shock actually to get

pulled up on stage to receive the award.”

Onstage at the Wintec Atrium where the event was held, Chris said, “I’m a plumber who learned to become a businessman.”

He paid tribute to the invaluable contribution of his staff to the continued success of the company. “It’s all about teamwork,” he said, asking them to stand and be acknowledged.

Some members of his team have been with him for 22 years.

“Making your staff happy is a big part of it,” Chris later said. “We do have a bit of fun here.”

Cambridge salon on top of region

By Sophie Iremonger Vivo Cambridge came away from the recent Vivo Annual Awards with two top placings for their team. The local hair salon was awarded the Waikato Bay of Plenty Regional Salon of the Year, out of 12 salons in total.

Over 400 stylists attended the annual awards in Auckland on August 26, when all 62 Vivo salons from across the country gathered for the awards and ball night at Shed 10 in Auckland.

Debbie Roberts from the Cambridge team was also awarded Highest Client Retention for 2017 out of all 400 stylists, meaning she generated the most re-bookings with her clients.

Cambridge salon manager Dena Hazelden said their whole team of five were rapt with their results.

“It was pretty cool, we were quite blown away actually,” said Dena. “We sort of weren’t really expecting it, they didn’t really tell anybody who was in the running for what, so we were stoked.”

A wood pigeon (kereru) who is a regular visitor to residents in the Alpha Street area, recently took a liking to his human friends.

“He usually stays up high in the trees, but when we looked out the window there he was!” said Fiona Maxwell.

The native bird, affectionately named Woody, was sitting just metres from Maxwell, having a drink from the bird bath, “without a worry in the world”.

Woody visits Cambridge residents each year when kowhai and cherry trees are in bloom.

“It’s more about the social Jaguar owners, enthusiasts side, the cars are the common or fans of any kind are being denominator,” said David. invited to join a regional club “You don’t have to have a being formed by Tamahere Jag, perhaps you hope to have local, David Ingham. one someday, but if you’re It’s all about cars – not cats interested you’re welcome to – but David says you don’t come along. necessarily have to own a Jag to “Or if your Jag is broken down

or being restored, you can still come along in your Toyota or whatever, we don’t care if you’re a member.”

The aim, as David explained, is to create a friendly community of Jag enthusiasts who meet for social gatherings.

“It’s dependant on what the club members want to do, it’s

not driven by me, I’m starting up, we’re getting a committee going, but that’s really there to do what club members want.”

Club fees would be kept at a minimum, likely $50 a year, he said. “That would cover the general costs of gatherings, like providing the meat at a barbeque”.

“What we’re trying to do is incorporate the women in it, because a lot of them can become good friends,” said David. “It’s really like creating

a community and the cars just become the common denominator.”

Already several people have signed up for the club, which is currently being named the “Waikato Jaguar Enthusiasts Club”.

An initial meeting is being organised for Sunday the 15th of October in Hamilton. David encourages anyone interested in coming along to get in contact with himself, on 021 109 8281 or email stewartventures@

kinect.co.nz, or fellow club member Paul, on 027 478 2247 or email hawkeye@xtra.co.nz.

“The first meeting will be about, is there enough interest in this, in the Waikato, to start a club? Then we’ll be collecting names and contact details for anyone who’s keen to go ahead with it, and we’ll go from there,” said David.

“The main thing is this isn’t just a bloke’s club, it’s for the whole family, and we’d love to see people come along.”

Puncture halts Bond’s cycling debut A puncture wrecked the chances for Olympic and World Champion rower Hamish Bond to succeed in his cycling debut in the elite men’s time trial at the UCI Road Cycling World Championships in Norway last week.

Bond, who took up cycling after his second Olympic gold medal at Rio, finished 39th of the 64 starters in the 31km-long trial, which included a final 3.4km steep climb. His time of 48:14.92 was 3 minutes and 33 seconds behind the time trial champion Tom Dumoulin, from the Netherlands.

It has only been less than a year since Bond took up cycling, and the Cambridge local was doing quite well in the first lap, riding at 16th place when he punctured his wheel and dropped to 44th. Bond dug deep, recovering to finish 39th –

not exactly the outcome the seven-time rowing world champion had planned for.

“You try and deliver a clinical, smooth race and the puncture threw everything out the window. I tried but it threw me off my game,” Bond said after the race, on Thursday last week.

“It was out of my control but something I prided myself on in my rowing career was getting those things right and executing on race day. Regardless of if it was my fault or ill-luck, it was disappointing not to be able to show what I was capable of.”

With the roads damp after morning rain, Bond said he went over a small piece of debris in his racing line around a corner, and the front time blew instantly on one of the fastest parts of the course.

“I was pleased with how I pushed after I got back

on. I possibly tried to overcompensate for the puncture for the rest of the flatter part of the circuit and suffered a bit on the climb trying to make up for the lost time.”

Bond said the experience was bitter-sweet, enjoying the unique and remarkable scenes on the climb.

“Overall I am pleased with the amount of effort that I put in. Since my selection I’ve been really pleased with how I trained and how I tapered. I was fizzing today in really good physical shape but it is just really disappointing not to be able to show it. It was a great experience and something I can bank for the future.”

Bond said he will take some time out to evaluate his last 12 months but believes he has more to give to cycling and has the Commonwealth Games in Hamish Bond in action at the UCI Road Cycling World Championships in Norway.

THE CHANGEOVER

This is a film about a teenage girl in today’s New Zealand in post-quake Christchurch updating the book’s 1980s setting. This works superbly, adding a sense of danger and loss every time we see a wide shot of the recovering cityscape. But it’s also a film about magic, based on the Carnegie Medal winning novel by Margeret Mahy.

Sixteen-year-old Laura Chant lives with her mother and four-year-old brother Jacko in a poor new suburb on the edge of a partially demolished City. Laura is drawn into a supernatural battle with an ancient spirit who attacks Jacko and slowly drains the life out of him as the spirit becomes ever younger. Laura discovers her true identity and the supernatural ability within her, and must harness it to save her brother's life. Stars Lucy Lawless and Timothy Spall.

CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS

The name of the school changes back and forth from Serome Norwitz to Jerome Horwitz and the flyer that is advertising for the school says, Jerome Horowitz. However, due to George and Harold being pranksters, it is possible that they changed the school's name for their amusement.

This film will surely tickle your funny bone and even adults should be absolutely entertained.
