Last week at Cambridge Rotary, the Sergeant, looking to fine as many as possible, cited the newspaper front page article about the super loo closing, to huge moans, and asked all those who had used the Super Loo to put their hands up. Over half present admitted to ‘spending a penny’ in our fine facility. Each was extracted a minimum of a gold coin fine, and they never even had the opportunity to use the super loo for that fine. Mike Hosking of morning radio fame refers to the Cambridge Super Loo as the best public loo in the country. From a visitor industry perspective the Super Loo has become something of an Icon of Cambridge. One can understand the Council’s decision, ‘look after the pennies, and the pounds will look after themselves’! We do expect them to keep rates down as low as possible. However, to use another old phrase, is it a case of ‘Penny Wise, Pound Foolish’, and a decision that we could regret! It is acknowledged that one of the important rating factors for a visitor destination is the availability of clean hygienic public toilets and that the condition of those public toilets can contribute considerably to the image of a destination. In 2011 at a summit in China, there was the revelation that one of the keys to increasing tourist arrivals lies in the availability of clean and proper public toilets in a destination. In an Otago University study it was also found that more than a third of New Zealand’s public toilets did not meet basic standards and according to some public health experts could harm the country's reputation as a tourist destination. If Cambridge is intent on increasing its popularity as a visitor destination, the availability of good clean public toilets is important. The Super Loo gained its iconic status not only by its distinctive design and placement Advertising of the building, but by the quality and standards of service it offers. That quality of service is provided by the staff, the level of supervision of the facility, its cleanliness, and providing a ready smile for those that entered the facility. The staffing of the facility is important. Many travellers have taken opportunity to use toilet facilities in petrol stations and although staff do their utmost to keep them clean, how often are they found with screeds of toilet paper on the floor, the floor awash, toilet bowls dirty, and the occasional graffiti or toilet humour on the wall. A quick word with staff will normally have the matter sorted as soon as they are able, but not always immediate. That is the risk we run with unmanned public toilets. So what of the cost of staffing and operating the super loo? The figures state the facility had welcomed an average 67,000 visitors a year or an average of 183 per day paying 50c each for a comfort stop, generating $90 day in revenue. The number of visitors have dropped to 83 people per day. Is a possible solution, to increase the cost to $1? What else can you do today for a $1 that will give you the same sense of satisfaction? The possible net drop in revenue then could be only $7 per day, or just over $2,500 per year. Would that be an acceptable cost considering the public value of retaining the facility? The phrase going to ‘spend a penny’ is well known. Its origin, obviously English, refers to the use of coin operated locks on public toilets. The term was first recorded in H. Lewis's Strange Story, 1945: 'Us girls,' she said, 'are going to spend a penny!'. What could you get for one penny in 1945? A litre of petrol cost 18 pennies; a pint of beer cost 20 pennies. In the 40’s, it cost 2½ pennies (240 to a GB Pound) to send a letter, today in the UK for standard mail it is 55 pence (100 to a GB Pound). So essentially over 100 times the cost. A visit to the public loo at Kings Cross Station in London recently cost one GB Pound, or the equivalent of nearly two NZ dollars. Internationally, the cost of News/Editorial Denise Saxton 022 044 9102 [email protected] Sophie Iremonger 027 287 0004 [email protected] Debbie Dwyer 027 287 0009 [email protected] Graphic Design facebook.com/ yourcambridgenews Gary Bulling [email protected] Thinking about selling your Rural/Lifestyle property?

Peter Hulsdouw Rural/Lifestyle Consultant Call Free 0800 43 77 33 Mob 021 243 7733 E [email protected] NZ$1 to go to a public toilet is comparatively acceptable. What is the possible impact of raising the price? Going to the loo is not discretionary spending. It’s not as if you wander past a public toilet and say to yourself, ‘I think I’ll just go to the loo!”. It’s normally a case of when ‘you gotta go, you gotta go!’. Particularly when you are 5 or 6 year old, or 65 or 66 year old!!!! How elastic is demand for a toilet stop? Perception is that going to the loo is relatively inelastic (changes in price have a relatively small effect on the quantity of the good demanded), hence increasing the price would possibly result in a similar increase in revenue. From a visitor destination perspective, the i-SITE would prefer to investigate all alternatives to retain the Super Loo facility. The tourist season is just about to start. A trial period of operating with an increased price structure may result in a feasible operation. If that doesn’t work, then let’s get round the table and see if there are other alternatives that can be considered. Roger Gordon, CEO Cambridge i-SITE * * * * Police Sincere congratulations to the Waipa District Council for their support regarding the lack of police numbers in the Cambridge District. Also, thanks to Naila Hassan, Waikato Police Western Area Commander Inspector, for fronting up to answer questions from Council and business owners. It is obvious that she is making the most of the resources at her disposal. The Cambridge Police Station is unmanned for long periods of time. The population growth in Cambridge is huge and it is very important that we have a police station that is fully staffed for 24 hours a day. Nationally, more police are needed. This seems to be an urgent Government requirement.

Having had her own amazing experiences at Camp Twitch, Lauren is now heavily involved with the fundraising to keep the camp going. “One of the things I really loved about the first camp was on the first day when the kids were introducing themselves they would ask other kids about their tics and what they do. They kind of got that out of the way and then just carried on as normal kids,” said Lauren. “I think the kids feel a sense of safety when they’re at camp because there is no judgement and they can just be themselves.” The camp is held in a different New Zealand location each time; this year being held in Rotorua from October 4th to 7th. It’s designed for kids and young people with Tourette’s to meet others who live with the disorder and enjoy a week where they do not have to worry or be embarrassed about their various tics and verbal outbursts. The “Pre 1985 Car Meet and Greet” will be a vital fundraiser in helping to make the camp possible this year. Andy figured the car meet would be the perfect way to help raise funds for the cause, as he already runs another cool car event known as the Gumboot Rally. “We run weekend long road trip adventures for petrol heads,” said Andy. “The group of people who we associate with gets bigger and bigger at every event, so we thought why not just mix the two together?” The idea then blossomed to organise a car meet that would act as a fundraiser for Camp Twitch and the Tourette’s Association of NZ. “We wanted to mix my love for cars and running car events with Laurens love for the Tourette’s Association and it pretty much came naturally,” said Andy. “We started organising it a few months ago. We got some help from my two Policing petition update The community has spoken, the Cambridge petition asking for more frontline police officers and reinstatement of 24/7 operation for the Cambridge Police Station, has been officially handed over to our local MP, Hon. Louise Upston to be actioned. The petition contains 3,416 signatures, and will be handed over to the Clerk of the House of Representatives – first for verification of signatures, and then later passed to a Select Committee for consideration and action. The Council met with area police representatives last week, and is putting their muscle behind a request to central government seeking additional policing resources, the installation of CCTV cameras around town for surveillance, and a better way to report crimes than the existing CRL line.

Trophies will be awarded to the best cars for each type/make, as well as an overall “best in show” award. Post-’85 cars are also welcome, for a post-’85 category.

They said that they had enjoyed meeting all the Cambridge children so much last year that it will be their pleasure!! The date for the 2016 Cambridge Christmas Parade has been confirmed as Sunday 4th December with the parade commencing as the clock tower strikes 2.00 pm. Once again the major Christmas Parade naming rights sponsor is Cambridge New World. We are pleased to announce the following categories will be judged: • Your Cambridge News schools category • GW Scott & Associates community group category • Cambridge New World pre school category • Kaz Design business category The overall winner will be chosen from the above category winners to receive the crown as the 2016 Cambridge New World overall winner. All category winners will receive a substantial gift certificate. This year the judging for the floats will be based on five criteria: • Evidence of a Kiwi Christmas theme • Aesthetic appeal, colour and vibrancy • People involvement with the float in the parade • People movement, active, relating to the crowd • Originality and novelty According to Roger Gordon from the i-Site, “We encourage floats, but it doesn’t have to be a display on a truck. For the last couple of years a team of mobility scooter ‘reindeer’ pulled a Christmas sled. We would also like to see entertainment groups, bands, dancers, costumed characters, in fact, anything that adds to the atmosphere of the parade.” The event is being coordinated by Vicki Ewing who did such a fabulous job as Christmas Parade convenor last year. Vicki is funded by sponsorship from Pub Charity. The Pub Charity venue in Cambridge is the Masonic Hotel. The i-Site team will continue to oversee the project with assistance from Cambridge New World, Waipa District Council, Your Cambridge News, Cambridge Rotary, Cambridge Chamber of Commerce, and Cambridge Education. Last year was a fabulous event with a real Christmas spirit throughout the town from the floats entered by schools, community organisations, and businesses accompanied by a variety of bands and entertainers. After the parade this year, Santa will take his place at the Christmas festival in the Cambridge town hall to meet all the children. Photos from the 2015 parade.

We know you all work extremely hard in your chosen sport to be your best and the best of the rest. You help make Cambridge the vibrant, positive and healthy town it is. Well done to you all including our Para Olympians who are still competing. At the last local body election less than 40% of voters used their right to vote. All across the Waipa we have contestable elections, which is fantastic and something many districts do not enjoy. I urge you to make use of your vote for electing your choice of Mayor, councilors and community board members. Stop signs are being installed at the intersection of Marychurch, Bruntwood and Peak Roads. The measures are designed to make this section of road safer for users and local residents.

All of us need to be vigilant on the road, of our own driving and always being away of surrounding and oncoming traffic. Road fatalities are up by 24% in the Waikato this year. It is fantastic in Cambridge to constantly see petrol prices on par and often cheaper than in Hamilton. Feedback was given to the stations around town and they have clearly listened. Well done, as the spin off goes beyond the purchase of fuel and helps keep Cambridge residents shopping in Cambridge. Building statistics still remain strong, with 26 new house consents issued for July totally $11.7 million. There have been $5.5 million of other consents issued.

The former Massey University student, who previously attended Cambridge High School, was one of the top three graduates last year in her fashion design degree – in fact she was the top student! This meant she “made the cut” to be a part of the prestigious show under the Recent Graduate category. It also meant Massey covered all of the expenses for Grace to be part of the whirlwind week. “It went really well, it was super exciting,” Grace said. “I had to produce an eight-look collection – so I had eight male models who were wearing three or four pieces of clothing each. Half of the designs were from my collection I made in my last year of study then I created another four looks for fashion week.” Community Garden and about their upcoming projects. Anyone can join this group. It is an excellent way to help yourself, your whanau and others in our community. We also heard from Cambridge Tree Trust who this year have planted 5500 trees in and around the Cambridge surrounds. This is another group who always welcomes new volunteers. Cambridge Resthaven Trust are embarking on an amazing project to restore the long lost “Moon Spring” which they found while clearing privet on the property. This spring used to feed the Cambridge Water Tower. The CCB passed a resolution requesting the following information through the Official Information Act; That the CCB seek the following information from the NZ Police through the OIA relating to the Cambridge Police Station and criminal activity within the Cambridge township and district1) The number of calls responded to by Police staff during the hours of 11.00pm through to 7.00am from 2014 to current; 2) The number of cases solved for each year during the hours stated above and for the same time frame. Any member of the public can request information. Ensure your question/s are measurable and have someone check and critic them.

Her “look” at NZFW was described as “men’s street wear with elements of tailoring”. “I love to play with prints, screen prints, and embroidery,” Grace said. “The garments are constructed unconventionally due to the nature of zero waste pattern making. Each pattern piece fits together like a jigsaw to utilise all of the fabric width.” Grace said the showcase went really well and she was probably a lot calmer than she should have been. “It’s not really nerve racking, it just feels natural. I think sometimes I can be an overly calm person!” she said. Grace now works under Mavis & Osborn in Auckland. They make all sorts of things in-house, from a range of beautiful fashion items for both men and women, to homeware, home decor and children’s ware. “I really love what I’m doing,” Grace said. “Everything we do is ethical and it’s all New Zealand made.” Their creations can be found online at www.mavisandosborn. com.

Submitted by Cambridge Chamber of Commerce Investment 1.For our businesses to succeed and compete in today’s global economy we need our Council to link up with our Chamber of Commerce and other business organisations to work together to attract investment to build our local economy and attract tourists. 2. We need to work together to lock our present industries further into our communities, and attract new industries for the future. To do this we need a Council that is: o Focussed on business growth o Understands the competitive advantages, strengths and weaknesses of our region, and o Has a strategy that recognises what we are good at, builds on it, and recognises any weaknesses or gaps that need closing. 3. We need to work together to identify the talent required for growth, while finding ways to retain and train our young people to bring new skills to our region. Set the best platform for growth 1. Business people and just about everyone else want the place where they live, work and play to be the best possible. They want a city or town with a future, and for their council to state what it looks like and how they are going to make it happen. Reliable infrastructure including roads, water, sewerage, public spaces, parks and parking are just the necessary prerequisites. 2. It needs to be easy to do business with our Council. Regulations, compliance and consenting must be developmentfriendly. We want our Council to build a culture that is quick to facilitate action, not put up barriers. Red Carpet NOT Red Tape Partner with Local Business 1.We want our Council to work with our Chamber of Commerce and other business organisations to tell the story of our region, build our local brand, and develop a marketing strategy based on it. Doing this will show the Council is on side with business and employment. 2. The Chamber and others already have resources and experience in place to enable business growth and employment. The opportunity is for Council’s economic development agencies to form partnerships with us to drive growth locally, and build shared infrastructure and services. 3.It is important that local suppliers are given a shot at supplying competitive services and product. This will ensure that we keep the money flowing around our community. Expense control 1.We want top quality services for ratepayers from our Council. This means everything the Council does has to be fit for purpose, delivering affordable services that do not compete with their own business ratepayers. The services provided by Council should only be those business cannot efficiently provide. 2. Council spending has to be transparent, and on a realistic scale in relation to our region’s size and resources, and in relation to what our ratepayers can afford.

VOTE VERN – A MAN FOR THE PEOPLE Authorised by Vern Wilson, 772 Pakura St, Te Awamutu 8 | YOUR CAMBRIDGE NEWS | 16th SEPTEMBER 2016 LOCAL ELECTION NEWS Jim Mylchreest ECONOMIC GROWTH Waipa District is well located in the “golden triangle” between Auckland and the Bay of Plenty and is a recognised powerhouse of the NZ economy. It has strong growth and it is essential that Council maintains a supportive culture to enable businesses to establish in the District. This means making sure we continue to “roll out the red carpet’ for development, ensure the necessary infrastructure is available and that there are attractive and well serviced urban centres to attract the skilled labour force required to support this growth. Council must work with central government and developers to ensure the housing problems currently being experienced in Auckland do not become our problems. It is imperative that all NZ’s who aspire to own their own homes can do so at an affordable rate but we also need to avoid a “knee jerk’ short term solution that creates social and health problems in the future. STRONG LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND INFLUENCE Local decision making is essential for retention of assets, local identity and community wellbeing. I do not support the current view being promoted by central government that there are always efficiencies in scale, “bigger is not always best”. Council must be well informed and understand the national issues so that it can articulate and represent the communities’ views on the national stage. A close working relationship must be established and maintained with central and regional government, the business sector and tangata whenua. Knowledge and experience in these areas are essential for your elected representatives. INFRASTRUCTURE Transportation, water, wastewater and refuse disposal services are considered essential local government services and Council, on your behalf, spends approximately 80% of its capital and operating costs on these services. Our current 10 Year Plan has a focus on our three waters infrastructure to both upgrade the existing networks and also provide capacity for the strong growth being experienced across the District. The worst case scenarios have been included in our 10 Year Plan with regard to costs but there are significant cost savings to be ACHIEVEMENTS THIS TERM • Reduced % rate increases year on year • All financial benchmarks achieved • New Te Awamutu Library nearing completion • Cambridge Swimming Pool upgrade on track • Savings in infrastructure delivery • Opening Waipuke Reserve • Continued enhancement of natural heritage sites achieved by investigating alternative supply and treatment options. I am committed to thoroughly investigating these options to ensure the current high value for money is maintained. Where else could a household get all the water it needs and the wastewater safely treated and disposed of for a little over $2.00/day. SOCIAL COHESION The District needs social and economic balance to continue to grow and prosper. I believe that as well as “essential services” other community facilities are equally as important for the overall wellbeing of residents. I often ask residents why do you choose to live in the Waipa District? The answers inevitably revolve around family and friends, all of the amenity services such as libraries, parks and gardens, sports and recreation facilities, education opportunities and location. Never has anyone said that they live in Waipa for our “fantastic sewerage disposal plants”. More emphasis is required to make our communities liveable for the future, taking account of our changing demographic profile and reducing our overall carbon footprint. More intensive urban development with well insulated homes and alternative energy sources and less reliance on motor vehicles should be supported by Council. Plans to improve cycleways and walkways need prioritisation. ENVIRONMENT AND HERITAGE Waipa has phenomenal environmental and heritage sites that require protection and enhancement not only for their intrinsic value but also for the economic opportunities associated with attracting visitors. Council works closely with a number of community organisations established to enhance our forested landscape features of Pirongia, Kakepuku and Maungatautari, our internationally important wetlands and our heritage sites. The continued involvement of the community in these projects is essential and there is also a huge opportunity to promote the very important land wars sites of Paterangi, Waiari, Rangioawhia and Orakau that are all within Waipa. The development of a discovery centre complex to link our natural and historic sites with cycle/walkway access enhanced with modern technology is an opportunity that I support particularly as there is likely support from central government. OPPORTUNITIES NEXT TERM • Build on strong growth in Cambridge whilst maintaining amenity values • Develop Te Awamutu Hub concept • Promote Waipa’s heritage values • Attract further sports codes to build on ‘Home of Champions’ brand • Consult on delivery options for water services • Increase the number of pensioner units within the District • Increase length of cycle/walkways • Complete Cambridge Swimming Pool upgrade TRUST • • • • Leadership Vision Minimise rate increases Poll on establishment of a waters CCO • Managed Growth • Positive outcomes from shared service arrangements • Affordable housing opportunities Contact Jim Mylchreest at [email protected] Authorised by Jim Mylchreest 119 St Leger Road Te Awamutu My wife Robyn and I have both spent a large proportion of our lives living, working, raising our five children and serving on a number of voluntary organisations in the Waipa District. We have strong affiliations to the community that we love. I have a Masters in Public Policy and 30 years local government experience in various roles in Waipa District including senior management positions and for the past three years the privilege of being Mayor. The Mayoralty is in my view the highest honour the community can bestow on anyone and a position I take extremely seriously. If re-elected for a further term I give my firm commitment to work for the best interests of all residents. It is predicted by 2030, just 14 years away, the world’s population will have reached 8.3 billion and require 50% more energy, 40% more water and 35% more food. The results of this growth will impact on Waipa and manifest itself in global warming, increased rates of species extinction, more intensive storm events, rapid urbanisation, an ageing population and eventually population decline. Whilst these are staggering statistics there are opportunities for the Waipa community to take economic advantage of the increased demand whilst creating liveable and attractive communities with the least possible carbon footprint. Encouraging reduced use of motor vehicles by making cycling and walking more attractive options is important. Our economic wellbeing is dependent on the productive capacity of our natural resources and we must ensure that the necessary infrastructure is in place to enable the agricultural sector to continue with their highly efficient farming activities whilst protecting and improving the quality of our soils, water and ecosystems for future generations. A key responsibility of any Mayor is to ensure the collective wisdom of all Councillors is used for the benefit of the community not only in the efficient delivery of day to day services, which is business as usual, but also looking for opportunities for future generations. No one can accurately predict what our world will look like in 2030 and it has been said that “the best way to predict the future is to create it”. For these reasons Council needs to be flexible to take advantage of opportunities when they arise. The District needs social and economic balance to continue to grow and prosper. It goes without saying that essential infrastructure must be the highest priority but this cannot be achieved without a thriving attractive community. If we do not provide high quality recreational, cultural, educational, health, employment and environmental amenities people will choose to live and invest elsewhere with all of the negative consequences of population decline. I believe strongly that Council should govern with the people and public sector organisations should be small, flexible and purpose driven. The Mayor only has one vote and must work with Council to ensure the majority community view is implemented after considering all relevant information. The closer the decision making process can be to the people it affects the better. 16th SEPTEMBER 2016 | YOUR CAMBRIDGE NEWS | 9 LOCAL ELECTION NEWS Cambridge election issues Candidates for our local election are setting out their positions on the important issues facing Cambridge and Waipa District over the next few years. The following issues are rising to the top as candidates address these matters in their campaigns. Water Management and potential amalgamation of three Councils into a CCO - Waipa District Council, Hamilton City Council, and Waikato Regional Council are considering forming a Council Controlled Organisation (CCO) to manage water and wastewater. This would involve the joining and sharing of water related assets and debt. WDC has promised the public will have its say on the matter before a CCO is agreed to, and a referendum on the matter has been endorsed by several candidates. However, there are proposals to reform the Local Government Act which could require Councils to enter into CCO arrangements without consulting the public. Managing Cambridge’s Rapid Growth – Candidates have raised concerns whether Cambridge should look towards achieving city status, or whether we should try to retain our tree-town village ambiance, green belt and cycle ways, and our boutique shops and cafes. Some candidates acknowledge that no one can stop Cambridge from growing, but planning how we grow is a high priority for them. Also, peripheral concerns, like a lack of visitor accommodation has been raised. Policing – The recent petition seeking reinstatement of more front line officers along with 24/7 operation of the Cambridge Police Station, has hit a strong chord with the community, the present Council, and candidates for the upcoming election. The police have confirmed that burglaries have spiked over the past few months, and the success of the petition makes clear that there is strong backing to make Cambridge safer. New Indoor Community Pool – Several candidates are saying this is an important issue for them, wanting to ensure that funding, timing, and construction stay on track for a new, indoor community pool. Other key issues being raised by candidates include reducing rates (or sensible increases), moving forward with discussions and planning for a third bridge, and protecting the trees, parks, and heritage character of Cambridge. All eligible voters are encouraged to register and take an interest in these important local matters that will shape our town over the next few years. And of course, be sure to cast your vote before 8 October!

Holders Melville United Old Boys scored three goals in a ten-minute spell – and later missed two penalties – to take the plate against an injury-ravaged Huntly Thistle to take the Plate final. That was the warm-up to the main game which turned into a tense affair with Northern United, a club in its first year of operation, beating Te Awamutu B, a club that was founded 103 years ago. United, coached by former All White Mike Groom, won 1-0 with a late goal saving the need of extra time. The crowds for the finals were the largest for many years, confirming Cambridge’s role as a popular venue for regional football events. Between the matches, Cambridge FC took the opportunity to officially open their new $200,000 changing room facilities after a fundraising and building project that took more than five years to complete. Chairman Steve Thomas told guests the club had built the much-needed new facilities with the help of many supporters – some of whom had helped the club find the money and others whose skills and efforts had enabled the building to be finished. He said the success of the club today had been made possible by past generations of volunteers who had built it, and he hoped the new facilities would similarly benefit those generations who use them in the future. Mayor Jim Mylchreest said the club was to be commended for the way it had met the challenge of building facilities that would be of huge benefit for the Cambridge community. Meanwhile, Cambridge wrapped up their Loaded WaiBOP Premiership season with a 0-0 draw against Tauranga Boys’ College. SPORT The result leaves Cambridge in second place on the table but they can be overhauled if Matamata Swifts beat champions Ngongotaha in their last game of the season.

Cambridge’s very own Nikita Howarth has swum her was to success at the games, winning gold in the women's 200m individual medley SM7 by more than five seconds, finishing ahead of Canada's Tess Routcliffe and America's Cortney Jordan with a time of 2 minutes and 57.29 seconds. The golden finish on Wednesday (NZ time) was the second medal secured by Nikita in just two days at the Paralympics, she also won bronze in the women's 50m butterfly on Tuesday and was due to race for another medal in the women's 100m breaststroke SB8 on Thursday. Nikita’s medal tally is simply phenomenal for the local 17-year-old, who became New Zealand’s youngest ever Paralympian at the 2012 London Olympic Games, aged just 13. Howarth's gold medal moved New Zealand above Australia on the medal table into sixth place, with 8 gold, 5 silver and 3 bronze medals. Ahead of NZ is Brazil in 5th, USA 4th, Ukraine 3rd, Great Britain 2nd and China 1st. Fellow para swimmer Sophie Pascoe has set an NZ record at this year’s Paralympics with the most medals won by a Kiwi Paralympian. On Wednesday she just missed out on her fourth gold medal at Rio, settling for silver in the 100m freestyle, just a few split seconds behind Canada's Aurelie Rivard. The 23-year-old Christchurch para swimmer now boasts a total of 15 Paralympic medals, having competed in the London 2012 Games and the Beijing 2008 games. Another phenomenal Kiwi at the Games was 'blade runner' Liam Malone, who broke a Paralympic Games record held by South Africa's Oscar Pistorius. The 22-year-old from Nelson won gold in the men's 200m T44 final with a time of 21.06 seconds. Pistorius' record was 21.30 seconds. The victory on Tuesday gave Malone his second medal of the Games, following a silvermedal finish in the 100m final on Friday.

The stage was set for another great day of finals and the talent coming through in Cambridge shows great depth and ability. Year 4 Final The Year 4 final between CPS White and Goodwood Flames was a nail biter with Goodwood Flames taking an early lead into the second quarter. With one goal in it, it was anyone’s game. The Flames mid court battled for possession with several impressive turnovers but CPS White fought back and managed to take the win by one goal. Final score 11-10 to CPS White. Year 5B Final Having almost missed the opportunity to play in the finals, Ngati Haua Teina took on 4th ranked team Tauwhare Twisters. The first quarter saw teams neck and neck with 4 goals each. Teina dug deep in the second to establish a 2 goal lead. The second half, Teina found their rhythm and stretched their lead to seven to take the win comfortably. Final score 13-6 to Ngati Haua Teina. Year 5A Final Tamahere Aces against St Peters Saints. Tamahere Aces came out strong with some fantastic intercepts throughout the game. St Peters dug deep to keep in the game but Tamahere were too strong winning comfortably. Final Score 17-7 to Tamahere Aces. Year 6B Final Playing a year above their age group, CPS Silver, a Year 5 team were favourites for the Year 6B trophy taking on Hautapu Allstars. Both sides had strong players throughout the court, which set the scene for an exciting game. Silvers confident shooting and strong defence resulted in an early lead. Allstars fought back with a gutsy performance from the Allstars Centre but Silver established a favourable lead going into the second half which saw them through to the final whistle. Final score 17-6 to CPS Silver. Year 6A Final The Year 6A Final between East Magic and Goodwood Keas was going to be a tough match. Magic had been undefeated all season but with two key players out and no reserves, the girls were going to have to dig deep for a win. Magic player Nikita Muir had a great game named East's Player of the Day but Goodwood Keas capitalised on Magics errorsin the 2nd quarter and came away with a convincing win. Final score 23-17 to Goodwood Keas. Year 7/8B Final Hautapu Diamonds came into the final against CMS Strikes as favourites having won the competition round. There were a few nerves in the first quarter which reflected a close score line but Diamonds found their rhythm in the second quarter with clinical shooting establishing a 7 goal lead. Strikes mid court played well contesting the ball but the Diamonds stepped up a gear pushing their lead out of reach. Final score 41-13 to Hautapu Diamonds. Year 7/8A Final Final between CMS 7A and St Peters Aces saw the top two junior teams go head to head with 7A going into the final unbeaten.

They were undefeated in their efforts to win the New Zealand Secondary School final. The week saw wins against: Whakatane 121 – 11; St Mary’s 82 – 68; Rotorua Girl’s 84 – 32; Rangitoto College 90 – 39. The final was played against Hamilton Girl’s High School in a tight game, where St Peter’s won 58 – 55. The team remained united and focussed, ultimately achieving their goal. St Peter’s XI girls’ team claim silver medal Submitted by St Peter’s Cambridge It was another incredibly successful tournament week for the St Peter’s first XI Girls’ Football team last week. The week started with a game against the number two ranked Wellington team (St Marys) and a commanding performance saw St Peters win 9-1. Monday afternoon saw a ferocious game against the Canterbury champions (Rangiora), and Tuesday morning the team played Auckland Diocesan, to win with a 2 - 0 victory. This left St Peter’s at the top of their group, and then onto play a knockout game v Sacred Heart from New Plymouth. A withering display early on saw St Peter’s win 8-0. The quarter final was against Nelson Girl’s and after a fairly tense first half, St Peter’s ran away with it, 5 - 0. The semi-final was against traditional rivals Hamilton Girl’s High School where we saw another convincing victory. The final was always going to be tough against Mount Albert Grammar School and despite fighting valiantly it was obvious it was not to be St Peter’s day. The final score was 6 - 0 to see St Peter’s take a meritorious silver medal for the 3rd straight year and 8th medal in the last 13 years. Ayla Pratt was the tournament golden boot (the first ever St Peter’s student to do this) with 13 goals, and Lauren Henry was named the team’s most valued player. Golden Boot winner Ayla Pratt.

Cambridge Golf update An update on the weekly veteran’s results and women’s results at the Cambridge Golf Club. The “Veterans” at the Cambridge Golf Club, men aged over 55 and women aged over 50, play a round of golf each Tuesday. Here are the Veteran results from Tuesday, 6th September: Vet golfers played under changeable weather temperatures, but managed to have a round of golf without any rain. Fast greens saw many players watch their putts slip past the hole on any downhill slope, giving them a longer putt to finish with. However Gary Fairweather mastered the greens well to lead the field home with 40 points, closely followed by Geoff Mears, Howard Lake and David Ogilvy all scoring 39 stableford points. In the Ladies section Marilyn Harrison just pipped Pauline McGlade from Carolyn Langhorn and Sharon Harris. There were four players who scored twos. Pauline McGlade got one on “Lands End”, Geoff Mears and Peter Bolt scored one each on the 13th and Steve Haggie was successful on the 17th hole. Allan Burdett won the longest putt competition on the 8th hole and David Ogilvy was nearest to the 9th hole for 3 shots off the tee. The women at the Cambridge Golf Club play a round of golf every Wednesday and Saturday and take part in a number of other events. Here’s their recent report: Wednesday 7th September Nancy Masters took the honours in the only Championship match. The rest of field played a stableford competition. Top scorer with 39 points was Marilyn Harrison, followed by Marilyn Kennedy 37, Pauline McGlade 35 and Suzanne Mears 33. “Disaster” winners were Pauline McGlade and Betty Harvey. 9 Holes Doreen Levesque and Shirley Stormont were the victors in first round Championship matches while the rest of the 9 hole field also played a stableford competition.

The schools showcased and celebrated Maori culture with beautiful performances from their kapa haka groups. This included students from Cambridge Primary, Cambridge East, Leamington Primary, Tamahere School, St Peter’s Catholic, Cambridge Middle School and Cambridge High School. “It was an awesome night and every group who performed did their school proud,” said organiser and Cambridge High School Assistant Principal Marcel Kuijpers. “Each performance was filled with passion and enthusiasm and highlighted the amazing cultural talent we have in our community.” The Cambridge High School hall was overflowing with an audience of parents/caregivers, teachers and students, who were very vocal in their support of each and every school. “The evening was well organised and the students from the CHS Maori leadership group ran a very slick event. Both Luke Ashby and Christina Van Der Velde were great MC's and the rest of the group proved to be excellent hosts for each of the schools involved.” One of the many highlights was Leamington Primary School's first ever performance of their own school haka, which has been two years in the making. “Overall the festival was another great opportunity for each of the local schools involved to support one another as they came together to promote the Maori culture through waiata and haka. “We certainly look forward to hosting another event in 2017.” Advertorial Cambridge Tree Trust We are passionate about keeping Cambridge beautiful through planting new trees, riparian planting, and cultivating a bird and bee friendly environment.

It is believed to have been part of the original planting for the railway site in about 1900. Fossilised remains show that 200 million years ago the gingko flourished all over the world, before conifers evolved and long before broadleaf trees appeared. Although it began to decline before the Ice Ages it still remained in the wild in parts of China. It has been planted in temple gardens in China and Japan for the last 1200 years at least. The first plant arrived in Europe in 1730 in Utrecht. Very disease resistant and unperturbed by air pollution it is the perfect street tree, with beautiful pale green leaves in spring, bright yellow in autumn and sculptured branches in winter. Unfortunately the female of the species produces a rather smelly fruit and this is the reason that so many in New Zealand towns are cut down. However, look further and you will find a kernel in the fruit which is tasty when roasted; for the ancient Chinese these were the cashews and peanuts of the drinks party.

When you hear someone talk about arthritis you automatically think of your mother or grandmother – not someone who is young. But in fact arthritis affects people of all ages. Roughly 1 in a 1,000 children and young people have Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) which is an autoimmune illness. Sadly there seems to be no clear cause and this means that there are no known ways of preventing it at present. Awareness of JIA and the support that is available to help the illness are critical to giving support to those children who are unfortunate enough to suffer from it. Every year Arthritis NZ runs a camp for children and young people with arthritis plus their parents and carers. There are many online sources where you can get help or information. There’s some great information on www.arthritis.org.nz to help. Arthritis New Zealand supports people in your community living with arthritis to manage their condition, helping them to achieve their goals and improve their quality of life. Cambridge Arthritis Support Group welcome any volunteers who would like to help collect on the main street collection day on Friday 23rd September. Contact convenor Karen Coleman on 07 827 0442.

The other four are Give; Be Active; Keep Learning; and Connect. When we ‘Take Notice’ we develop awareness of the little things in life, which teaches us to remember the bigger picture, and brings us out of any repetitive thinking that may not be that good for us. There are so many ways to ‘Take Notice’, from being more mindful when we eat; to paying particular attention to the changing of seasons; to putting aside your cellphone when you are with family and friends. The ability to notice what happens around us is an easy thing to do but making this a priority has benefits for our wellbeing, our relationships, and our environment.

Know how to tow? If you’re proficient in backing a trailer then this article isn’t for you, but if you’re new to towing or get ‘performance anxiety’ the minute you chuck your vehicle into reverse - then there’s a few things worth knowing before you venture out. Firstly, you’ll need to check your vehicle and the trailer you are using, then load it correctly so your vehicle handles safely, drive it properly to avoid accidents then finally reverse it into position for an easy off load. Here’s a few tips and tricks: 1. Checking Whether you own the trailer or have borrowed it from a friend or relative, remember to check it first before you load it up. Check to see if the: - Warrant of Fitness (WOF) and registration hasn’t expired Electrical wiring, couplings and safety chains are all intact - Lights work - Tyre pressures are correct - Mirrors on your vehicle are adjusted ‘out’ so you can clearly see the rear of the trailer Another important check is knowing how heavy the load is that you are carrying and how much weight your towbar is capable of carrying. Remember to take into account the added weight of passengers, luggage etc. Air Lockers Airbags Apparel AVM Hubs Battery Systems Bull Bars Camping Canopies & Lids Cargo Barriers Cargo Nets Compressors Diesel Performance Modules Fridge Freezers Nudge Bars 2. Loading A trailer that has uneven weight distribution can affect your ability to safely steer and control your vehicle. Remember to load your trailer heavier toward the front to ensure that most of the weight is over the front axle of the trailer. Approximately 60 percent of your load should be in the front half of your trailer. Once you trailer is loaded ensure it’s completely secured as it will try to move: • forwards when you brake • sideways when you turn • backwards when you accelerate • upwards when you go over bumps All loads that could be affected by airflow or motion of the vehicle should be covered by a tarpaulin or cargo net and strapped down with good quality lashings, ropes and straps. (Some fibres may stretch when dry and shrink went wet, so it’s important to check your load regularly). 3. Driving Thinking ahead is the key to safe towing. Remember you have a trailer on and constantly check your rear vision and side mirrors. Check your load – jump out and check that everything is safe and secure – don’t forget to check the tyres and remember that heat is the indicator that there could be a problem.

Trailers have minds of their own - all they want to do is move forward in a straight line. And if you load them to the hilt it’s like putting them on steroids - they’ll have the power, strength and velocity to control you and your ability to drive your vehicle safely. Remember that the key to controlling your ‘steroid loaded trailer’ is to ease into everything and do things slowly. Gently apply your brakes before you come to a corner especially downhill – calm your trailer down first and turn later and sharper to enable your trailer to stay on the road behind you and not veer onto the road verge. Avoid road rage – if someone yells abuse at you or uses offensive hand signals, you will probably become an agitated and faster driver which isn’t ideal for safely towing a trailer. Be courteous and pull over when it’s safe to do so. If you know you have done the best you can you’ll be less likely to take on others people’s narrow views. 4. Backing Backing a trailer is so contradictory to common sense – turning the vehicle in one direction whilst the trailer is going in another is hard to get your head around especially when you’re at a boat ramp full of on lookers and you get a dose of ‘Performance Anxiety!’ Practice, practice, practice Experience is the key, but you don't necessarily need hours in a paddock or boat ramp to reverse a trailer competently. You just need to know a couple of tricks: ‘The Big Hands on 6 o’clock’ place one hand on the bottom of the steering wheel. You'll find that when you turn the wheel to your left, the trailer will go left. When you go right, the trailer will go right. It won't take long to get a feel for what happens when you're going backwards once you get some confidence up using this method. Just be sure to keep an eye on your mirrors and take it slow. If the trailer starts going the wrong way, drive forward – get it back into straight forward mode (the position most comfortable for steroid loaded trailers) and then slowly try again. Second Tip: ‘Practice Backing Straight First’. Your trailer likes being in a straight line which is quite hard to master in reverse, so practice going forward and backwards using your mirrors. Once you have mastered backing in a straight line you’ll be better prepared to start reversing in an arc. Remember – it takes patience to be perfect!

Tesla vs car dealerships Tesla, the leading electric car company, is in the midst of reshaping the way their cars are sold. For many years car manufacturers have been banned by law from selling directly to consumers. Instead, their vehicles are sold by third-party dealers. But Tesla is changing this traditional model in the USA, persuading an increasing number of states to allow the company to sell electric vehicles directly to customers through its boutique stores and even over the Internet. In April customers committed to buying 400,000 cars they had not seen in person after viewing them through online galleries Their car “yards” are a little different as well – in fact they’re not really yards, many are a small boutique stores with just one or two models on display. Now, legacy auto manufacturers from Ford to General Motors are tipped to be moving toward a future of sales directly from carmaker to driver, according to industry analysts. That has triggered a standoff involving dealers, manufacturers and Tesla over the future of car sales, the role of the Internet and whether it is legal to sell a car online. If other carmakers followed Tesla, some US car dealers say it would essentially put them out of business. Battles are breaking out in capitals across the US over laws that prohibit manufacturers from selling directly to consumers. Arguments have occurred in statehouses in Texas, Ohio, Washington, New Jersey and more than 20 other states, with varied results. Legislatures want to open up markets for electric vehicles but are wary of undercutting dealers. A Missouri judge ruled this month in favour of the dealers, saying Tesla could continue to operate showrooms but could no longer sell cars directly to consumers. Tesla said it plans to appeal. Tesla has also had success, gaining the right to sell in about 20 states, including Washington state and Maryland. It is not yet clear whether the disruption of the auto industry will lead to dealerships closing down. In 2014, Tesla’s Elon Musk said he would be open to a “hybrid system” of independent dealerships and company stores. But he has since been buried in legislative battles. Car companies want to see how things go for Tesla in distributing the more affordably priced Model 3 before starting new distribution channels.

Photo by Andy McGechan, BikesportNZ.com By Andy McGechan, www.BikesportNZ.com Taikorea's Paul Whibley led a Yamaha 1-2 to the top step of the podium at the latest round of the Central Enduro Series at the weekend. The 38-year-old former Manawatu forestry worker, affectionately dubbed “The Axeman” on the motorcycling scene, showed his international class on the tricky, steep course at Moonshine Valley, in the Akatarawa Forest near Upper Hutt, finishing the day more than 12 minutes ahead of Wellington Yamaha ace Hugh Lintott, with Eketahuna's Charlie Richardson (Husqvarna FC250) rounding out the podium on Saturday. Whibley (Yamaha YZ450FX) has only raced three of the five rounds thus far, but he is now up to second in the standings, 17 points behind Richardson, who has raced every round. Lintott has also raced all five rounds thus far and he is level with Whibley, equal second on the points table. "The long sections held plenty of challenges for riders with some really technical and tight trails. Plenty of water filled ruts that hid their true personality in the murky depths. Careful line selection was needed to keep out of trouble.” The sixth and final round of the Central Enduro Series is set for Urenui, in Taranaki, on October 8, although Whibley has revealed he'll be a non-starter at that because this clashes with another event he has committed to. *$87/week based on Swift GL manual with free factory alloy wheel upgrade (SSP $18,990 plus orc), nil deposit, 4.9% interest rate and 5 year term.

Photographer Craig Purvis snapped this photo of Pirongia’s peak on Thursday last week, which clearly shows a light dusting of snow! The day’s wet weather meant it was hard to see the snowy peak, but the low clouds cleared long enough for Craig to snap this snowy scene. Grace Redgrave’s work at NZ Fashion Week (continued from p5).

Written by New Zealand Playwright Jean Betts and the great William Shakespeare, the play is a high energy, hilarious and feminist twist on Shakespeare's “A Midsummer Nights' Dream”. “The girls in this ensemble have really enjoyed taking charge and having such large comedic roles - the world of ‘A Midsummer Nights' Dream’ has been totally flipped.” said CHS Head of Drama Larissa Peters. Jean Betts has given the comedy roles to the women in this version and the male roles are essentially puppets for the strong, clever females. In this version Fairy Queen Titania (played by Katie Peters and Emma Jane Peters) is taking charge of her marriage and demanding that Fairy King Oberon (played by Nick Huston and Chanho Song) be faithful to her - making him fall in love with a 'bunny' of sorts to learn his lesson. The character Puck (Alice Jenkins) skateboards around causing trouble wherever she goes, whilst the four famous lovers get into all sorts of trouble in the forest; Hermia (Eve Marriott), Helena (Chelsea Ostler and Head Girl Grace Lewis), Lysander (Deputy Head Boy Freddie Dillon) and Demetrius (Jack Bronswijk). “The actors playing the lovers have been puffing and sweating in rehearsals as they run, jump, fight and throw themselves at each other,” Larissa said. Hippolyta the Amazon (played by Eden Chappell and Carly Daniels) is preparing for her wedding with Theseus (Liam Bellamy-Hill and Matthew Maling) although she is still unsure about this world and the way women are treated. The Fallopian Thespians try to convince her otherwise through their own bumbling theatrical means. “Rehearsals have always had us in stitches - particularly as they learn their roles and we start to see them develop and interact onstage,” said Larissa. “A lot of the comedy comes from their wild interactions and responses to one another.” “The cast is made up of a very strong bunch of young actors who have been working together since Year 10. They clearly enjoy working with one another and this is evident in their confident performances and their energy with each other on stage. I have been very impressed with the way they bounce off one another, contribute ideas and support one another. “The students have worked exceptionally hard to meet the demands of such a high energy, physical and thoughtful play in just 6 weeks, while still juggling their school exams. As a director I have greatly enjoyed working with this cast, they are always excited to be at rehearsals, willing to give anything a go no questions asked, and totally throw themselves in the roles.” Don't miss out on this highly entertaining performance! The show takes place this Wednesday the 21st and Thursday the 22nd of September, at Cambridge High School’s Backstage Theatre. 7:00pm start - Doors open at 6:30pm. Tickets $8, available from the student office. Visit the office or email PUR@camhigh. school.nz . Katie Peters as Titania and Chanho Song as Oberon.

This Friday they will go head-to-head, racing their vehicles in a drag race and on a street circuit to see which schools’ electric vehicles will go on to compete in the national finals in Christchurch on November 27. Waikato Engineering Careers Association manager Mary Jensen said the competition is sparking renewed interest in hands-on learning at secondary schools. “It’s definitely filling a gap in today’s society and allows a young person to work alongside their peers and be mentored in a group situation. It has been a very positive experience for them and, as well as teaching hands-on skills, it also sparking interest in subjects like engineering, maths and science,” Mary said. WECA is co-ordinating EVolocity in the region and its engineering company members, along with Wintec, the University of Waikato, WEL Energy Trust, Powerco, Waipa Network, Trust Waikato, DV Bryant Trust and Len Reynolds Trust are supporting the initiative. Vehicles in the competition will be judged on speed economy, rolling resistance and motor control.
