will also allow those with Tourette
Syndrome to do the same.
The classic car meet will work

Election fever is hitting Cambridge
as all the candidates set out their
positions, and blanket the town and
Your Cambridge News with their signs
and adverts. It is great to see democracy
in action, and we should be proud
that so many capable people have put
themselves forward to serve Cambridge
and Waipa District for the next 3 years.
There are some very important issues
facing our community over the coming
term, and we encourage everyone to
register and vote in the upcoming local
elections. Candidate profiles, positions,
and instructions on how to register and

Santa is coming to town! This year’s
Christmas Parade has been announced,
and will take place on Sunday, 4
December. Last year’s parade was a
wonderful event, with real Christmas
spirit spread around town via the
colourful floats entered by schools,
community groups, and businesses. There
will be loads of entertainment again this
year, and Santa will meet the children at
the town hall after the parade.

Letters to the Editor
The super loo decision
– is it penny wise,
pound foolish?
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

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.

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.

Classic car fundraiser
for Tourettes Association
Continued from page 1
The camp is run by the Tourette’s
Association of NZ, which receives
no government funding. “Pre 1985”
organiser Andy Smith is combining
his love for cars and his love for his
wife by organising the event, as
his “other half” Lauren Smith was
diagnosed with Tourette’s when
she was just 8 years old while living
in South Africa.
“It was really cool to come over
here and learn that they had an
association here,” said Lauren,
who is a member of the Tourette’s
Association of New Zealand, and on
the board of trustees.
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.

business partners and our sponsors
from the Gumboot Rally event have
come on board to help out as well.”
“We’d like to thank everyone who
has come on board to help make
this happen,” said Lauren. “We’re
sure it’s going to be a really cool
event for the wider Cambridge
community to enjoy, and with
enough support it will also help
Kiwi kids with Tourette’s enjoy
another awesome experience at
Camp Twitch.”
The “Pre 1985 Car Meet and
Greet” will be held at Karapiro
Domain on Saturday, September 24
from 11am-2pm, gold coin entry for
spectators and $5 entry for display
cars.
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

Santa’s booked for 2016 Cambridge
Christmas Parade
We’ve got in early to make sure that Mr and
Mrs Claus are booked for this year’s Christmas
Parade.
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.

Community Board
Statement, September
Submitted by Mike Pettit, Chairman
Congratulations to all of our Olympians
who provided the country and Cambridge
residents with so many highlights. 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.
Unfortunately, there have been 7 fatalities
in Waipa so far this year. Six of these were
males and 3 out of 4 crashes the deceased
were in there 50’s. 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 market is still
strong with further subdivisions planned
over the coming 1-7 years totaling an
additional 2500 plus houses.
Bihoro, our Sister City in Hokkaido,
Japan has invited a delegation to go there
in October 2017. This is to join them in
celebrating their 130-year anniversary and
also the 20 anniversary of our Sister City
Relationship. Early next year the board
will call for expressions of interest to join
the delegation. Council does not commit
funding to this, so as always is self-funded.

Cambridge fashion
designer at NZFW
By Alicia Main
Cambridge’s very own Grace Redgrave
has proven to be quite the rising star in the
New Zealand fashion world after featuring
in this year’s New Zealand Fashion Week
(NZFW).
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. It is only by putting pressure on,
across many areas and people we will get
our police station manned 24/7 again. The
Minister of Police, local MP, Prime Minister’s
Office, District Commander – C/o Hamilton
HQ, Western Waikato Area Commander C/o Hamilton HQ, newspapers are some to
engage with.
Crime between these hours we believe
has increased and is on the rise. It is our town
and we need to feel safe living in it. Act by
doing.
We wish Suzie all the best, as she presents
her petition on behalf of Cambridge to
Parliament. Well done to those that were
able to sign it.

The division of a fee simple title into multiple
allotments in order to realise the potential of
your property requires a careful analysis of

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

LOCAL ELECTION NEWS
To candidates standing for election
to our local council – inspire us!
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.
FOR A
VIBRANT PROGRESSIVE
COMMUNITY WE CAN
BE PROUD OF.

 It is important there is a true gender balance.

and leisure activities.
PROGRESS THE THIRD CAMBRIDGE BRIDGE
 Don’t just investigate, but set a time line, where,
when, and how to fund.
MANAGE CAMBRIDGE GROWTH
 Future growth must be carefully planned with the
involvement of the public so it does not adversely
change the iconic town.
FULLY DISCUSS THE PROPOSED WATER CCO
 Advise the public on all the pros and cons of the
proposal so they can make an informed decision,
at present it is driven in one direction.

WELLBEING OF ALL OUR RESIDENTS
 Particularly the young, the elderly, the needy; be a
true, caring society.
PENSIONER HOUSING
 Peg the rents to no more than 30% of the
pension, escalating market rents will make
them unaffordable for most residents.
ENACT THE PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT POLICY
 Engage with the public at the grass roots
level on all projects and major expenditure
TRUE TRANSPARENCY
 Release balanced information on all council
meetings and workshops.

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

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.

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!

ensure your club, athletes and volunteers are in the
recognised.
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.

Para athletes
continue to add
to NZ medal tally
By Sophie Iremonger
The world continues to watch on as para
athletes from around the globe compete at
the 2016 Paralympic Games, on now until
September 16th.
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.
Viewers can catch the Paralympic action
as it happens every day on TVNZ’s live
streamed TV channel DUKE. A special
highlights programme will air every
night on TV ONE and will be available

Junior netball season wrap up
Submitted by the Cambridge
Netball Centre
Photos by Michael Jeans
The New World Cambridge
Netball Centre Junior Finals were
held on Saturday 10th September
in glorious spring sunshine. 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

Victory for St Peter’s
Junior Girls’ basketball
Submitted by St Peter’s
Cambridge
The St Peter’s Junior Girls’
Basketball team tasted success
at the recent secondary school’s
sports tournament last week. 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.

A lovely supper was provided by St Peters and the
evening concluded with how would we spend $500
but then there was a catch; it was that the loan and
needed to be paid back. Some people had to change
their plans bearing in mind it was a loan rather than
a gift.
Some feedback comments from the evening
included:
• I am going to think ‘do I really need this’ if I want to
buy something.
• I plan to get more jobs babysitting and then save
more of it.
• Invest more, spend less
• I will be more responsible with it.
• Preparing to pay back loans, buying things I need
not just want. I will get a job while in university.
• Don’t spend it all on food at the canteen.
• Going to try the grocery budget challenge and
engage in more money conversations & negotiate.
• Got practical ideas on money conversations with
children.
• Parent interaction and how they work with their
kids.
• Tips on managing the children’s wants.
•Needs/wants – great framework and examples

• Create confidence in kids.
• Understanding the needs vs wants conversation

• Hearing that most other parents have the same fears

Students showcase culture at kapa haka event
By Sophie Iremonger
Students
from
several
Cambridge schools put on a
spectacular performance last
week at the 3rd annual Combined
Cambridge Schools Kapa Haka
Festival on Tuesday, September 6.
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.”

This lovely specimen with its stunning autumn leaves grows near the Tivoli
Cinema, but is due to be cut down for the new development nearby. 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.

Arthritis New Zealand’s
Appeal Week is coming
up next week, with the
main street collection day
taking place on Friday 23rd
September.
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

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. A tyre will

become hot if it has less air pressure
than the others and a ‘toasty’ wheel
bearing could be on the verge of failing.
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!

Car companies want to see how Tesla fares distributing the more affordably priced Model 3 before starting new distribution channels.
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.

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.

Snow spotted on
Pirongia
Cambridge fashion designer at NZFW
By Sophie Iremonger
The recent cold snap which hit the country last week may have been
a let-down for those looking forward to warmer weather, but it did
provide an intriguing sight on the top of Mt Pirongia.
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

CHS latest production
“Revenge of the Amazons”
By Sophie Iremonger
Cambridge High School’s Year
13 Drama students are bringing
another
thrilling
theatrical
performance to the stage next
week with their latest production
“Revenge of the Amazons”.
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.

A Kiwi rite-of-passage dealt a blow by modern life is
enjoying resurgence thanks to a new, hands-on initiative
rolled out across Waikato secondary schools.
EVolocity Waikato, a competition where students
design, build and race their own electric vehicles, is
being credited for reviving the tradition of young people
learning manual skills from working alongside a mentor
in a workshop.
With the assistance of mentors fromWaikato engineering
businesses, teachers and tertiary organisations, EVolocity
competitors are learning such skills, as well as solving
problems, using tools, making mistakes and working on
their electric vehicle until it is ready to race.
More than 70 students from 12 schools are taking part

in the regional competition for the first time this year,
including students from Cambridge High and St Peter’s,
designing and building their own electric cart or bike
equipped with an electric motor kit.
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. Other
prizes
