Kōkako fights back

Numbers of one of New Zealand’s great songbirds have doubled at the country’s biggest inland sanctuary.

The latest kōkako census at Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari revealed a tally of 47 territorial pairs and seven single birds.

That has caused some excitement on the maunga as the numbers have more than doubled in just a couple of years.

Species co-ordinator Janelle Ward said the last census in 2018 recorded 19 pairs and six singles.

“Many sub-adult kōkako were also observed but not included in the official count, as young birds are highly mobile.”

She said the team also confirmed that an additional 11 banded kōkako had established a territory with a mate, including several birds that had not been seen since their release in 2015.

“That brings our founder count to 30 birds and means that a top-up translocation is still required in either 2021 or 2022. Forty are recommended for healthy genetic diversity.”

The census was not completed last year due to a funding shortfall. Janelle said news that they had been successful this year for a DOC Conservation Fund bid to conduct the census in 2020 had been welcomed. It also provided some volunteer opportunities for the bird survey team.

Amanda Rogers, one of the team involved in the census, said the numbers revealed represent a growth rate of kōkako higher than any other mainland site.

“While this is somewhat expected in a predator-free environment, most importantly it is indicative of a high level of recruitment (75 percent) of translocated kōkako, with large clutch sizes and/or double-clutching.

“It is wonderful to know that the kōkako have a thriving and rapidly increasing population at Maungatautari.”

The nzbirdsonline website notes “with their extraordinary haunting song, and obscure evolutionary relationships to other birds, kokako evoke the forests of ancient New Zealand/Aotearoa perhaps more than any A pair of kōkako at Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari. other species”.

I would like to convey my thanks to Viv Posselt for reporting on my unfortunate tumble into Moon Creek last Saturday, expressing my heartfelt gratitude to all concerned and a promise I won’t do it again.

This was my one and only call on our emergency services, rest assured we will continue to donate, it’s insurance.

As a new arrival 1974, in the Early Kirk years, I got a ticket, for doing 90kph.

When the new limit was 80kph. Godzone had only two homicides since 1971.

Glue sniffing hadn’t been discovered, “electric puha” was being openly pushed in Ruatoria and gangs did ‘brown eyes’ to cops. ‘God’ went out of godzone and Alan Duff told us what we were too stupid to recognise, hard drugs got their inevitable grip, we have at last identified FASD and similar conditions inherited, passed from generation to generation , kids unaware what they have inherited. Who will teach them if we can’t or won’t?

What I find it hard to accept is that I an expected to atone for the perceived evils, customary practices and dodgy deals committed 150 years ago. It’s put me off of eating ‘McDonalds’.

I am very impressed that Cambridge News is maintaining its stance as a “voice of the people”. Some complain of its “patchy” delivery. I suggest they do as I do, ‘shop where you can get a free Cambridge News’.

Many thanks for your patience, Brian Dunstan, Cambridge

Tim van de Molen Your MP for Waikato 0800 GET TIM (0800 438 846) Tim.vandeMolenMP@ parliament.govt.nz

Authorised by Tim van de Molen MP, Parliament Buildings, Wellington.

On the beat disappointed that following my letter of December 12, and a second on February 21, that I have read of only one person, for or against, as to the banning of these scooters.

That one person was the Chair of the Cambridge Community Board, Sue Milner, who did express her reservations on their introduction. I do hope all Councillors watched the blind lady on TV recently, who pointed out how vulnerable people who are blind or in wheelchairs do feel in the Auckland CBD, because of electric scooters. Could our Council demonstrate transparency by allowing Cambridge News to print the Councillor’s names under for and against, when the Lime application is considered. Speaking of transparency, are our Councillors taking a 20% cut in their salaries as requested by our Prime Minister? They were extremely swift in granting themselves an increase at the first meeting after their election. Except of course they then decreased that of the Deputy Mayor, Liz Stolwyk, How did they justify that? More transparency please as the rate-payers do pay the Waipa District Council salaries.

I. S. Thomas, Cambridge Waipā District Council responds: Lime approached Council prior to the COVID-19 lockdown and presented information to the Community Boards. However, Waipā District Council has not yet received a formal application from Lime to operate electric scooters in the district, therefore no decision

by Council has been made.

Regarding Councillor salaries, Under the Local Government Act, the Remuneration Authority is the independent body responsible for setting elected member remuneration.

Council does not set the remuneration. The Remuneration Authority allocates a ‘pool’ to each local authority across New Zealand, and local authorities then determine how that pool will be allocated according to roles and responsibilities.

Council approved the remuneration allocation at the meeting on November 18, 2019. Please note there are also two changes since the previous term reflecting the current deputy mayor’s remuneration. Waipa District Council now has an additional Councillor for the Cambridge Ward included in the total renumeration pool, and the previous deputy mayor also performed the role of committee chair.

In relation to savings, the Renumeration Authority set a ruling which has reduced the Mayor’s salary.

All agendas and minutes for council, committee and board meetings, and information about elected member remuneration is available on our website at www.waipadc.govt.nz.

Harassed? What you can do This week I wish to start by discussing harassment.

Criminal harassment is specific behaviour as defined within the Criminal Harassment Act 1997. Essentially it applies where there is a pattern of behaviour by one person that intends to cause or is known to be likely to cause the victim to fear for their own safety, or that of their partner or family. Behaviour may include hanging around outside the victim’s home or workplace (stalking), following them, unwanted and unsolicited contact through email, post, phone etc, or repeated verbal abuse aimed directly at the victim. A pattern of behaviour is generally determined by two or more incidents of the same nature taking place within a 12-month period.

Examples I have seen include where one person has affection for another person and despite being clearly told it is not welcomed, persists with repeated courtship attempts, a neighbour calling out abuse at another on multiple occasions and someone repeatedly approaching their victim in public and yelling insults at them.

If you find yourself targeted in this way, one option is to apply for a Restraining Order against the perpetrator.

It is done through the courts and is free. When granted, a Restraining Order makes it a crime for the person who has harassed you to contact you in any way, watch you or hang around outside your home, follow you or stop you in the street or do anything else that gives you a reasonable fear for your safety. It’s also a crime if the person who has harassed you threatens to do any of those things or encourages someone else to do any of those things to you. Visit https://www.justice.govt. nz/courts/civil/restraining-orders/ for full details and templates.

On another topic, in Cambridge, we have our share of shoplifters. The team recently arrested two offenders caught shoplifting in town. Their car was flagged for involvement in a few different shoplifting incidents across the Waikato and a cache of stolen property was located inside. This demonstrates how one offender/ group can easily be responsible for high cumulative value thefts.

Shoplifters rarely limit their activities to one store. We can however all help reduce retail crime. As customers, when we notice suspicious behaviour or someone concealing items, we need to make store staff or security aware straight away. For retail staff, it is better to stop a crime from happening, than to have to try and catch an offender and recover stock after the fact. Stopping shoplifters need not involve a confrontation. Greeting a customer upon entry and attentive customer service (especially when someone’s behaviour raises suspicions) may make a thief reconsider their actions.

Quality CCTV and the use of security tags and gateways are also good preventative measures. Cambridge Police can assist with loss prevention advice for staff. Nets Wednesday morning (September 16) a few of the team and I will be holding a Retail Loss Prevention Pop-up in town, based in the Waikato Mobile Police Station. We’d love to chat to you and to see how we can help you and your staff to prevent theft and catch offenders. Watch out for our flyer or email cambridgecommunityliaison@ police.govt.nz for information.

Flights return

Hamilton Airport announced this week that flights to Palmerston North will resume in October – and a direct Hamilton to Nelson route is being considered. A new partnership with Originair, using 19-seat Jetstream aircraft, will re-establish the Hamilton-Palmerston North route scuppered earlier this year by Covid when it was run by Air New Zealand.

New homes

Ten whānau have moved into new homes below Pōhara marae in Maungatautari. The Ngāti Koroki-Kahukura Trust is celebrating the opening of a papakāinga on their whenua.

Tammy Tauroa, who has led the project for the Trust, says they were able to partner with organisations like Westpac and Nevermann Bennett Law to overcome barriers into home ownership.

Bridge winners

Cambridge Bridge club members Clare Coles and Kevin Whyte have won the Waikato-Bays Rubber Bridge regional tournament to qualify for the national finals. But how that plays out that will depend on what hand Covid deals. The finals, involving seven teams, are scheduled to be staged at the at Karapiro at the end of the month.

Assisted dying: it’s yes or no Voters will be given the chance to have their say on two polarising issues on election day.

The referenda forms accompanying MP and party voting forms could open the door to significant changes in assisted dying and recreational drug use.

Today as part of our election coverage the News looks at The End of Life Choice referendum. We have asked our columnists for their views on the issue, we have special columns from supporters and opponents, and we have canvassed MPs for their views.

We’ll do the same with the cannabis referendum in our September 24 issue.

For the end of life referendum

New date

The dates for the inaugural series of art therapy community workshops for children being held in Cambridge and Te Awamutu have changed. The dates have been pushed out to October 10 at Te Awamutu Library, and October 17 at Cambridge Library. For more information contact Dee Atkinson at dee. atkinson@waipadc.govt.nz.

suffer from a terminal illness likely to end their life within six months, have significant and ongoing decline in physical capability, experience unbearable suffering that cannot be eased and be able to make an informed decision about assisted dying.

Further information is available here: https://www.referendums. govt.nz/ The Act was tabled by ACT leader David Seymour in October 2015 and drawn from the ballot box in June 2017.

Parliament wrestled with the wording of the bill before sufficient members were comfortable with it – but New Zealand First’s support

What the MPs said…

Barbara Kuriger says there is a growing segment of New Zealanders who want a choice about the final days of their life.

“The choice is not a choice to die, but it is a choice of actions available at the end of someone’s life,” she told the News.

Louise Upston

Tunnel works

Motorists heading to Taranaki will notice significant changes on SH3 when they are directed around a new road through Hammond Hill at Awakino today.

voters will be offered a yes-no question: Do you support the End of Life Choice Act 2019 coming into force?

The parliamentary website explains: “The Act gives people with a terminal illness the option of requesting assisted dying.

“Parliament passed the End of Life Choice Act, but it has not come into force. The Act will only come into force if more than 50% of voters in the referendum vote Yes.” To be able to ask for assisted dying, a person must be aged 18 or over, be a citizen or permanent resident,

Barbara Kuriger

“I have listened to many submissions on the issue and believe it is important to have choice, after all people can currently refuse food and water when they reach the point where death is inevitable.

“I also know that it will not be everyone’s choice and should never be so. I support hospices who do a wonderful job of palliative care.

Taupō’s Louise Upston voted against the bill in the House.

She said her polling showed 51.5 per cent support and 41 per cent opposition in her electorate.

“The End of Life Choice Bill referendum is a polarising issue in my electorate. The feedback I’ve been receiving through my regular surveys of people’s views in the electorate are varied, with some voicing opposition at all stages of the legislation that has now passed, others have been strongly in favour, and another group who have changed their mind as the bill worked its way through the various Parliamentary stages.

“Whichever side of the argument the stories are deeply personal and I’m grateful to the many people who shared their own emotional experiences with their loved ones. I’ve heard

from constituents with very touching stories about how caring for a terminally ill person or family member has affected them and I too have had first-hand experience witnessing both my parents succumbing to cancer over a period of time.”

She believed there was confusion around the referendum… “with some people not sure whether the bill was proposing a choice to die versus what it really is - dealing with the choice to die with dignity through euthanasia, assisted suicide or assisted dying after a prognosis of less than six months to live”.

“The more significant concern I have right now is the lack of ability for people to learn, debate and discuss the End of Life referendum because of continued

was conditional on it going to a referendum.

Polls on the cannabis referendum have thrown up contrasting results, but those on assisted dying have consistently suggested the electorate is more sympathetic to it.

We asked all sitting MPs in and around Waipā for their views on the Act. Of those who responded, three were in the Yes camp, three were voting No. Barbara Kuriger (Taranaki-King Country), David Bennett (Hamilton East) Tim van de Molen (Waikato) planned to vote yes, Jamie Strange (list) Tim Macindoe (Hamilton West) and Louise Upston (Taupō) plan to vote No. See columns pages 9,10,11

restrictions at alert level 2. This referendum has long term impacts on our communities and country, and it deserves the full and informed consideration of voters.”

Labour list MP Jamie Strange also voted against the bill and will do so again on election day.

“I am concerned there are not enough safeguards around potential abuse,” he said.

Waikato MP Tim van de Molen was seeing support and opposition for the bill running neck and neck at 46 per cent.

wish to pass peacefully and with dignity and access to assisted dying will give them this option. Palliative care is doing a wonderful job for most New Zealanders, but there are a small number for whom palliative care is not suitable – this option is for them,” he said.

“I supported the End of Life Choice Bill because I feel that there should be an element of choice for those who are in the final moments of their lives. I respect that for many they

David Bennett acknowledged the legislation had issues around the tests used and it would be better to have another requirement of a specialist opinion to give a higher degree of confidence in the process. He has signalled he’ll vote Yes, while his National colleague in Hamilton West, Tim Macindoe, will note No.

Mind your own bees wax…

Waipā District Council is encouraging the community to help raise awareness about the importance of bees during September - Bee Aware Month.

The council will host is two free Bee Aware Month events this September – a talk from a Waipā beekeeper and an online beeswax wrap workshop.

Community services manager Sally Sheedy said Bee Aware Month raises awareness of the critical role bees play for both the environment and economy.

“We are encouraging our residents to take actions that help bees – things like growing bee-friendly plants, using pesticides safely and supporting our local beekeepers who work hard to

protect and nurture bees.”

Tim Hansen, of Hansen Honey in Pirongia, will discuss “demystifying” manuka honey standards. His September 18 talks at 6.30pm will be at the Te Awamutu Library. Registrations are required for the event and can be made at the library website, waipalibraries.org.nz/events.

A free online beeswax wrap workshop is also on offer from 7pm, September 24 where viewers can learn how to make their own beeswax wrap at home.

Workshop participants will receive a free beeswax wrap starter kit following the workshop. Further details about the ‘How to: Make a beeswax wrap’ Council’s waste minimisation officer Sally Fraser is hosting a free online event are on Council’s Facebook page. beeswax wrap workshop on Thursday 24 September.

Lockdown focus book snapped up

Eric Hill’s ‘Cambridge in Lockdown’ book is selling so well that a second print run is flying off the shelves.

Eric is Patron at Cambridge’s Resthaven Foundation and has pledged that proceeds from the book will go into the Foundation’s coffers. The 68-page book features photographs he took in and around town during the four months of March to June 2020; it captures the mood and feel of the place as lockdown levels shifted from four to one.

The first print run of 150 sold out fast, said Eric, and a second print run is going solidly. The book’s appeal is clearly hitting the mark, but what is less known is the measure of input provided by

Eric’s Cambridge-based daughter, Andrea Pettigrew, who was the book’s graphic designer.

She described her dad’s idea for a local lockdown book as ‘inspired’.

“It follows the timeline right from the first whispers of an unknown virus in a faraway land, to when it started to impact on our lives … then on to when restrictions started to loosen enough to breathe life back into our community,” she said.

“It shows how much more we

appreciate what we once took for granted and how lucky we are to live in Cambridge.”

Andrea said she and Eric had to work remotely at first, with her dad “dropping a memory stick into my letterbox and briefing me over the phone.

After the first draft, he got an idea for what was working, where the gaps were, and what needed developing further.

“For my part, I wanted to create a vibrant book that celebrated the resilience and community of Cambridge, showing how we

came together by staying apart!”

Andrea loved the images.

“His photos are really powerful … the pictures themselves tell an intimate story and the captions are a mixture of both personal observations and fact, making it relevant to everyone in Cambridge.”

She said it was exciting to help Eric realise his vision. “Working with family is always fun. I think the final product is an awesome snapshot of an incredibly interesting point in our history.

I’m really proud to be a part of it.”

The book is available through Cambridge Paper Plus and Cambridge i-SITE, or online through www. thebestlittlebookstore.nz.

$30k for Lake work

Restoration work at one of the country’s most important peat lakes complexes in Waipā has gained a near $30,000 boost, with confirmation of a Community Conservation Fund grant to the National Wetland Trust.

The National Wetland Trust has a long-term presence at Rotopiko/Lake Serpentine, a complex of three small peat lakes near Ōhaupo.

The trust works with a range of partner organisations—including the Department of Conservation, Waipā District Council, NZ Landcare Trust and Waikato Regional Council — to create a showcase for wetland conservation where unique associations of plants and animals can be experienced by visitors and provide opportunities for education and research.

Trust Executive Officer Karen Denyer says the $29,350 from the Community Conservation Fund is tagged for several different work aspects at the 41-hectare site, including predator control and exclusion, revegetation planting, bat and bird monitoring, project management and volunteer support.

She hopes the funding will confirm the presence of a long-tailed bat population at Rotopiko. Covid restrictions have prevented bat monitoring.

The Covid-19 closure saw a spike in mice numbers at Rotopiko when monitoring and control couldn’t be carried out on the regular cycle. The grant will allow for a “catch-up” on mice detection and control, Karen Denyer says.

What’s the buzz? New owner for driving service

By Matteo Di Maio

Cambridge High School was far from alone when its plans for a student production were upturned by Covid-19.

But it was one of few schools to push through with its musical, which CHS brought to the stage — albeit in a COVIDappropriate, condensed form.

The cast and crew presented three musical numbers from their planned production of Jesus Christ Superstar — What’s the Buzz, Jesus Christ Superstar and The Temple — to students, parents and staff. The three songs were also professionally recorded for distribution to the wider community.

Peter Cook, the teacher behind the production efforts, said there were times where he thought the musical simply would not be able to go ahead. But “there were a number of us behind the scenes thinking: we’ve got to do something; we’ve got to try to do something.”

“There was a point where we thought: we stop the show now and do something next year,” Cook said. “But then we had seniors in leading roles who were leaving next year.

That would’ve been pretty hard on them.

So we fought really hard to get something done.”

So CHS’ principal Greg Thornton came up with the idea to present the team’s efforts as a recorded concert. Cook and musical director Larissa Schumacher then set about refining Jesus Christ’s 26 numbers into 11 concert-suitable songs.

But then Level Two hit again, as well as licensing issues with the concert idea — so they were forced to narrow the musical down to three songs.

Cook said he thought it was “critical” that the students still had a channel for their efforts.

Year 12 Josh Bam starred as Judas.

“The kids had battled and battled. And these kids had won key roles in a major musical, so to have done nothing would’ve been quite hard. These are kids that have done 250 hours of work.”

Cook said each of the students who sang in the final performance stuck it out through the whole process: lockdown, legal challenges and all.

“The two that were most affected, and the two I’m most proud of were Jack Redpath and Josh Bam — they had won the two key roles of Jesus and Judas,” Cook said.

The standout staff member — Cook said — was musical director Larissa Schumacher.

“Shows were being cancelled all around us, but we held on. Yes, there were times when we thought, all of this is going to end in tears and nothing. But she was able to adjust, overcome, and maintain the musical directorship.”

Jayne Tankersley, the vocal coach, also played a key role in the performance. She was “the reason it sounded as good as it did,” Cook said.

It is planned to that the three musical numbers presented will go up on Cambridge High’s Facebook page and, licensing dependent, one of the numbers will feature on YouTube.

The personalised companion driving service ‘To & Fro’ has been purchased by Cambridge Resthaven Trust from its founder, Connie TaylorStill.

The move builds on the range of aged care services offered by the Cambridge-owned community trust, including a retirement village, care centres, and services for seniors living independently in the local community.

Cambridge Resthaven CEO David Hall said the organisation was ‘delighted’ that the purchase of To & Fro adds another service for the community.

“We have a strong community focus and are active in the community through home visiting, in conjunction with Age Concern, Meals on Wheels, Cambridge Menzshed and Freedom Wheelers Mobility

As part of our End of Life Choice Act referendum review we invited statements from the opposing sides.

REFERENDUM 2020

Safeguards are missing

By Renée Joubert Executive Officer, Euthanasia-Free NZ Many of us have watched loved ones die. But the referendum isn’t on whether people should suffer, and it isn’t on whether assisted dying or euthanasia should be legal.

We’re voting on the details of a specific version: the End of Life Choice Act. Regardless of our personal views on euthanasia, each of us needs to decide whether this Act’s details would protect vulnerable Kiwis from pressure and wrongful deaths.

MP Chris Penk explained the purpose of safeguards: “The question is not whether some people should die in a way that the bill allows, but whether any people could die in a way that the bill does not allow.”

Unless we’re absolutely certain that all its safeguards would be watertight, we need to vote “no” to this Act. It’s a binding referendum on the way it’s written now.

Polls found that most Kiwis confuse euthanasia with choices that are already legal. This Act is not about turning off life support, do-not-resuscitate requests or stopping medical treatment. It’s also already legal for a doctor to give a terminally ill person as much medication as needed to be pain-free, even if this may hasten death as a side effect.

The Act we’re voting on would allow someone as young as 18 to request a lethal overdose on the same day they are diagnosed with a terminal illness, without needing to try treatment first, and even if they don’t have any pain. If they meet the eligibility criteria and also have depression or a mental illness, they cannot be refused euthanasia. According to the Ministry

REFERENDUM 2020

of Health they could receive a lethal injection as early as 4 days later, and without their loved ones being notified.

This Act leaves out safeguards that are in United States, Australian and Canadian assisted dying laws. For example, unlike overseas laws, this Act doesn’t require any independent witnesses when a person signs their request in front of the doctor or when they receive the lethal dose.

Only one doctor, who can be fresh out of medical school, would need to “do their best to ensure the person expresses their wish free from pressure”. This doctor needs to check for pressure only by speaking to health professionals who are in regular contact with the person and with family members approved by the person. But many Kiwis don’t live with family, and relationship abuse can remain hidden. Pressure could also come from caregivers, friends, neighbours, flatmates, financial problems, poor access to support, social isolation or euthanasia advertising.

Unlike overseas laws, a Review Committee would assess whether this Act is working well, but without checking any forms completed before the deaths. The Committee can assess the cases in which they were personally involved in.

Since there’s much the government information isn’t telling us, it’s important to do our own research. I recommended The Final Choice: End of Life Suffering: Is Assisted Dying the Answer? by Kiwi journalist Caralise Trayes and the websites: votesafe.nz, riskylaw.nz, defendnz.co.nz and euthanasiadebate.org.nz .

A Bill giving us a choice

By Brooke van Velden ACT Party Deputy Leader The End of Life Choice Act referendum is not a question about whether people should die. The referendum is a question about whether a person who is already dying from a terminal illness and is suffering at the end of their life should have a choice over how and when they die. Allowing that choice, in my view, is the right thing to do.

Any one of us could face a bad death.

Palliative care can help many people facing a terminal illness but unfortunately it doesn’t work for all. Should the small number of people who suffer needlessly be forced to choose between a cruel choice of refusing food and water, informal euthanasia through too much morphine, or suffering until the bitter end?

There should be another choice able to be made under a safe law. A person who is competent, informed, and terminally ill should have another option.

The End of Life Choice Act puts in place that safe law. It’s a law that allows people who want to access assisted dying that choice while protecting those who want nothing to do with it.

It is a rigorous process.

To be eligible a person must be a New Zealand citizen or resident over 18 years of age, suffering from a terminal illness likely to end their life within six months and actively getting worse, experiencing suffering that can’t be relieved in a way they find tolerable, and who retains mental competence at all stages. There are safeguards against coercion and making sure the person is making a choice free from pressure, and safeguards to ensure vulnerable people such as those

with disabilities and mental disorders are safe. Importantly, doctors and nurses who want no part in assisted dying have the ability to conscientiously object.

This is about choice.

We know from other countries with similar laws around the world that these laws work and are safe. Some people will say anything to cast fear, uncertainty and doubt on that fact.

Since we started debating this law in Parliament in 2017, the US states of New Jersey, Maine, Hawaii, and the Australian state of Western Australia have all passed similar laws. These jurisdictions have looked at all the evidence and international experience of other jurisdictions with assisted dying laws and have decided these laws are safe. There is no evidence of vulnerable people being at risk.

New Zealanders express overwhelming support for the choice of assisted dying and this law because of their real-life experiences.

Too many people have seen bad deaths. The End of Life Choice Act will give choice and allow people suffering bitterly to end their lives in peace and dignity, surrounded by loved ones.

To those facing the end having an assisted dying law, even if they choose not to use it, will bring comfort and peace of mind. Sir Michael Cullen, recently diagnosed with terminal cancer puts it better than I can, “please choose to allow all of us to make our choice in this matter and have the comfort of knowing that we have that right if we wish to exercise it.”

Business Showcase

INTRODUCING DR. BERNARD ANDERSEN Bernard has been practising as a dentist for over 30 years, growing his own practice in South Africa from a bare-bones one man operation to a five-dentist practice over the years.

Having been pleasantly surprised by a positive dentist experience as a child, Bernard became interested in exploring pain-free dentistry and guiding people past their preconceived fears and ideas about dental work.

His particular passion is providing a family dentist practice experience, helping the whole family from child to elder, and building relationships which leave patients feeling both cared for and cared about.

Bernard was initially drawn to work with the True Alignment team thanks to their holistic approach to dentistry, believing that good oral health goes far beyond straightening teeth and ties into wellness issues throughout the whole body.

He also resonates strongly with True Alignment’s twin core values: Empathy and Technology. Speaking to the first principle, Bernard said that he believed empathy was the most important aspect of his practice.

“I believe in building relationships. I think that understanding people’s pains, fears and expectations is key to being a good dentist.”

NO PLANET B

Reading the blurred line

By Peter Matthews

Since being asked to tackle ‘End of Life’ this week I have been thinking about how to present my thoughts.

I toyed with the idea of an allegory (two old men on a park bench - one about to kill himself, and the ensuing discussion) to illustrate the points but it would be simpler to come straight out and say what I think. Also parts of it may have been unnecessarily upsetting to some readers who have been affected by suicide.

To be clear, the end of life issue we are shortly to vote on is not a discussion of suicide and its ramifications. There are factors and considerations involved in the suicide of a healthy person which are way beyond the scope of a conversation about euthanasia.

And therein, possibly, lies a blurred line. When does suicide become an ‘end of life’ choice? Terminal illness? Seemingly incurable sadness?

An inability to care for oneself?

There’s a slight irony here; it seems that a person might be eligible, in the minds of some, to choose to end their own life only if they are physically unable to do it for themselves.

This is perhaps the crux of the matter: Does a person who kills another person upon the genuine, earnest, and considered request of that other person commit murder? Of course it might depend on the reason for that request. It would be absurd if the person making the request was simply having a bad day. At the other extreme the person making the request might be unable to articulate it by reason of being,

apparently, in a coma but nonetheless sentient.

In the case of the latter example - the situation known variously as ‘pulling the plug’ or ‘turning off the life support’ is widely accepted to be a reasonable thing to do. It often generates a lot of conflict though, usually between doctors and family members, or family members and other family members. This shows what an emotive issue it is, even at the end of the spectrum where a case for prolonging a life can hardly be made.

I think this is an issue on which every person must decide for themselves, and yet there must be an official stance - hence the referendum. Fortunately we live in a democracy and so we can all state our view and the outcome can be determined by whichever view is most commonly held.

Not that it matters, but my view is this: As an avowed atheist, fan of science and empirical enquiry, and an apologist for individual thought and critical reasoning, I think that a person should have the right to end their own life. Of course the considerations are varied and many, and that is why each one of us should give serious thought to the subject, and then vote on it.

And if you don’t agree with the outcome, well that’s democracy; you might just have to go into politics and do something about it.

FAITH IN WAIPĀ

Why we must say No

By Murray Smith, Senior Leader, Bridges Church

The End of Life Choice Act 2019 will be enacted unless enough New Zealanders vote ‘No’ at the polling booths come October 17.

The wording ‘End of Life Choice’ ought to highlight how deliberate, subtle euphemism is being used to make it seem kinder, more plausible, caringly humane and nicer than it really is.

Euthanasia is not turning off life support. It is assisted suicide. It means receiving a deadly dose of drugs to knowingly and intentionally cause the death of a person who no longer wishes to live.

Put bluntly, ‘end of life choice’ exists already.

Section 11 of the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990 states. “everyone has the right to refuse to undergo any medical treatment.”

This can include “Do Not Resuscitate” orders.

There is no legal or ethical requirement that a diseased or terminally ill person must be kept alive at all costs. The law draws a clear line between withdrawing medical support thereby allowing a patient to die of his or her own medical condition, versus intentionally bringing about the patient’s death.

This dangerous bill introduces the inevitability of abuses happening by way of terminally ill and those living with life-limiting illnesses becoming coerced or pressured into requesting euthanasia.

Ulterior motivation by families eager to save themselves the burden of a drawn-out process, will undoubtedly precipitate termination of lives in advance of death coming naturally.

Renowned British neurosurgeon Henry Marsh, ardent supporter of euthanasia, callously conceded, “Even if a few grannies get bullied into it, isn’t that the price worth paying for all the people who could die in dignity?”

Excuse me!? His assumption is that you can’t die with dignity unless you determine

the precise moment your life ends. In my experience pastoring, I have frequently ‘journeyed’ with people, young and old through terminal illness. I have seen these people die with great dignity, surrounded by loving families whose pain in seeing their loved ones suffer was obvious - yet intervening to hasten death would never have seemed like the ‘more dignified’ or kinder option.

I have seen these dear people often receive wonderful help in palliative care situations once things became difficult towards the end.

And yes, dying naturally, without death being recklessly precipitated can be dignified. In some cases I have seen patients confound both diagnosis and prognosis…meaning an ‘expert’ signing off on euthanising such a person would have robbed them of the joy of seeing weddings happen, grandchildren born and much more…

I attended a community debate with many MP’s representing both sides of the argument including the bill’s instigator David Seymour. It became disturbingly apparent so many things are wrong with this ill-conceived bill… doctors and medical people stated their unwillingness to be involved in euthanasia.

“Please get someone else to do this business… not us”, was their heartfelt plea. Others pondered the stupidity of introducing laws to assist suicide in our nation while at the same time campaigning to reduce suicide rates.

MP’s proposed 114 amendments to this bill. What does that say!? Only three were approved, including the decision to allow this referendum.

The only thing needing euthanasia is this bill.

Your “no” vote will see it happens.

THE AGE OF REASON

Has it had enough thought?

By Peter Carr

It is a rare occasion that an Act of Parliament, properly constituted by our elected parliamentarians, carries with it a codicil that requires sign-off from the population at large.

And that such sign-off, by way of a referendum, can achieve positive status with only a single vote across several million people. Looking back over history countries, including New Zealand, went to war without the general population being consulted - yet alone formally agreeing.

But the times are changing and strong governments, in this blighted MMP society, are hard to find. Incidentally MMP came into being with only 54 per cent of the voters in favour. In this era of poor voter turnout, hardly a resounding and fair decision.

The formal discussion that preceded this Act in pre-referendum final form in 2019 was not the first to grace these shores. Back in 2012 there was an attempt to discuss this on the floor of the House but the MP responsible for this ballot-driven vote lost her seat prior to the discussion getting serious. Eventually the Labour Party withdrew it from proceedings claiming that it was cluttering up the parliamentary programme. Eventually one brave and very singular MP, on the strength of his sweetheart deal with National in Epsom, managed to kick-start the process, changed the title of the Bill and entered it into the ballot system in 2015.

Luckily for him it emerged rabbit-like from the hat two years later and over the next 23 months staggered through the due process.

The Bill had four votes on the floor. The usual three was increased due to the vote as to desiring a referendum after the second reading. The minor parties remained steadfast throughout being 100 per cent in favour. However through the long gestation period both National and Labour started weakening their stand for ‘For’ towards – but not numerically achieving - ‘Against’. A fair-minded person

might postulate that votes (parliamentary or referenda) of such a serious nature should carry a requisite positive vote of 75 per cent.

But this was democracy at work as our current statutes demand. Lest we are not clear the case for assisted dying is on matters physical.

Predominantly mentally linked cases of seriously unwell people do not qualify for consideration. Yet we see (and here is where I get into hot water) ample evidence of people with mentally driven very poor quality of life who might welcome a blessed release.

Has this been thought through sufficiently?

Is the simple majority vote of sufficient gravity to bring this important issue to finality? To what extent are the wishes of one’s family considered when two medical practitioners accede to the request of the physically ill person who is sound of mind? Around the world there are examples of (mainly) westernleaning countries where the debate has taken place and positive solutions reached but two of the leading parts of those groups – UK and USA - forbid the practice. And to put it not too finely, when does euthanasia become physician-assisted suicide?

Two states in Australia have this provision. And further when does passive euthanasia (the removal of artificial life support) become active – being the result of this Act under current referendum consideration. Finally where does the medical profession’s adherence to the Hippocratic Oath reside?

I imagine that many families may be debating this matter currently. For those of us ‘of an age’ where generally we have well exceeded the life span of our parents this subject is closer to the mark than previously. I am still not convinced that as a public we have covered off this matter to enough depth and a simple Yes / No tick next month may well not be the result that we need – or at least deserve.

The Give It Back Trust was created to do exactly that

“give it back”.

Rob, Lee, Tania, Jono & David are passionate about Cambridge and appreciate that what makes our community great is the level of community participation.

To encourage involvement in our community the Give It Back Charitable Trust was formed to recognise our unsung heroes and volunteers and provide financial support to our Cambridge community to ensure we continue to have a caring and vibrant Cambridge.

So nominate an unsung hero or Cambridge group to say thank you and give back.

COMMUNITY BOARD

Champion those trees…

By Sue Milner, Chair, Cambridge Community Board

Last week the Board was able to have its monthly meeting in the Board Room at the Council Offices, with suitable social distancing.

One of the items that came up for discussion was parking for visiting tour buses, it’s an important issue for our town particularly over the summer months when we get a good number of buses from the Auckland and Bay of Plenty areas bringing visitors to spend a few hours in our lovely town, enjoying the scenery, cafes and shopping and in December visiting our Christmas Festival in the Town Hall.

We have made a suggestion to the Council roading department that we hope will work for everyone, including those who park in the town while they work.

Cambridge has once again been named as a finalist in the Keep New Zealand Beautiful Awards with winners to be announced in October. Big thanks to our Parks Team who do a wonderful job of keeping our green spaces and gardens looking fabulous.

The Community Board will be working with the i Site, and the Council Comms Team on revamped welcome signage to the town. This last happened just before the World Rowing Championships in 2010!

Lately the parks and reserve teams have been very busy planting trees in street verges around town, some are new plantings and some are replacements. With summer coming it would be great if residents who have a new tree outside their home could `adopt` it, and if required give it the occasional watering when it gets a bit dry. We call our town Cambridge, Home of Trees and Champions so here’s an opportunity for us to champion our trees.

This Sunday is Lions Market day, Deputy Mayor Liz Stolwyk and I will be outside the BNZ and happy to discuss issues anyone may have, we look forward to seeing you there.

Also Rotary Cambridge will be having a book stall at the Market this Sunday, a lead up to Bookarama in November.

The first of the carriages for the new Te Huia passenger rail service from Waikato to Auckland arrived in Hamilton on Saturday, signalling a milestone for the project.

A blessing of the carriages, which have been under refurbishment since March last year, was held at KiwiRail’s Hutt workshop last month with iwi from Wellington and WaikatoTainui.

The four carriages were received with a karakia from Te Ha o te Whenua o Kirikiriroa as they pull into the station at Frankton.

“This is the future of public transport and the completion of the first four carriages is a significant milestone for this project,” said Hugh Vercoe, Waikato regional councillor and chair of the rail governance working group.

The arrival of the carriages would enable staff training to get underway “so we’re ready to go when the service kicks off, which is likely to be early next year.”

“Te Huia will deliver travel time reliability for those regular commuters who would otherwise have to trek the congested State Highway 1 without any certainty on their arrival time.

“They’ll be able to use this time productively, taking advantage of travelling in a workfriendly environment with free, high quality WiFi for the complete journey. Even better, this stress-free travel will also lower the commuter’s exposure to vehicle crash risk.”

Hamilton city councillor Ewan Wilson said

The carriages arrive at Frankton

having a high-quality passenger rail service from Waikato to Auckland is exciting for the city.

“Given the current climate, having a connection between the two cities is critical in supporting the local and regional economy.”

The construction of the Rotokauri Station, which also includes a significant public bus hub and park and ride facility, has been delayed due to the impact of Auckland’s COVID-19 Alert Level 3 restrictions on supply; however, improvement works to Huntly Station are on schedule.

A decision on the Te Huia service launch date is expected to be confirmed in the coming weeks, after news from KiwiRail a temporary speed restriction in Auckland while the track work is undertaken would add half an hour each way to the proposed journey for Te Huia travellers.

Cambridge natural medicine practitioner Deborah Harpur has resurrected a book described as a no-nonsense do-it-yourself guide to a long and healthy life.

Harpur, a blogger and researcher believes people deserve optimum health and says her book - “Food Medicine: The Number 1 Rule for a Long and Healthy Life” is about finding a simple solution everyone can use to reverse climate change, save the planet, ensure wellness, resilience and resistance to chronic disease.

“I originally wrote my book five years ago and self published in 2015, then did nothing with it.”

Last December she re-published the book through Balboa press – “I felt the time was right to resurrect the book, perhaps people would be more open to it now especially in our times with Covid”.

The book is available at Amazon and Barnes & Noble “Chronic disease is escalating; our children now suffer from diseases that were once rare. Current medical intervention does not cure disease, it only addresses the symptoms and you have to live a life of continuing and escalating disease as a result. We can change that, and it is simple,” she said.

A Te Awamutu Music Federation concert this month will offer people an opportunity to enjoy the talent of one of New Zealand’s leading pianists, Richard Mapp.

The September 19 concert is part of a New Zealand tour. It will start at 2pm at St John’s Anglican Church in Arawata St. Nelson-based Mapp, who has performed to appreciative audiences in Te Awamutu on previous occasions, returned to New Zealand in 1991 after a successful career in Europe.

He has toured on many occasions for Chamber Music New Zealand, performed

with major orchestras, and appeared as Chamber Music partner with the New Zealand String Quartet and other leading musicians in this country. He has recorded six CDs and is frequently heard on RNZ Concert.

The programme for the Te Awamutu concert will feature Haydn’s Variations in F Minor; Schumann’s Fantasie in C, Opus 17; Liszt’s Benediction de Dieu dans la Solitude; and Beethoven’s Sonata in A flat Major, Opus 110. Tickets for $20 are at the door; students are free.

Hautapu calms the Fury

By Steph Bell-Jenkins

Hautapu Sports club is on a roll after its top netball team beat SPFC Fury to take out the New World Cambridge Netball Centre premier championships.

The victory came just over a week after the club’s premier rugby team defeated Ōtorohanga to clinch the Waikato Breweries Shield for the second year running.

Lynda Cooper, who has coached Hautapu Premier for 10 years, was “thrilled” with her players, particularly as they hadn’t been able to train together this season.

“Because we’ve got mums with young families and some girls who live away from Cambridge, training was not going to be an easy option anymore, so we thought right, we’ll wing it,” she said.

“I think our defensive game tonight was awesome in the turnover ball and we showed some lovely flair on attack, which gave the shooters some fabulous opportunity to finish. Everybody gave 100 per cent so it was a total team effort to take this win.”

Captain Rebecca Greenhalgh, who was “absolutely stoked” with the result, said it proved “old heads can win at netball”.

“It’s a thinking game just as much as a physical running game,” she said.

“We really felt the love from the Hautapu community and that’s been awesome.”

SPFC Fury coach Jordan Higgie said despite the loss his team were feeling “very good”.

“First and foremost, massive congratulations to Hautapu Premier for their finals win,” he said.

“For us it was an occasion of absolute pride to come together eight months prior in our inaugural period as a group and be able to execute a well-rounded season’s performance, unbeaten to the final, and then ultimately matching up against a pinnacle club team in Hautapu Premier, a team that we set benchmarks to be able to compete against.

One out of three for the Blues It was a case of so near yet so far for Leamington as its senior A and B teams were both beaten in close finals last weekend.

The club did have cause for celebration though, as the Colts lifted the Elliot Shield on the last day of Waikato club rugby finals.

The Senior A team was beaten by round robin winner Hinuera 23-28.

In a tight game of finals footy Hinuera made the most of their territory in the first half slotting a couple of penalties to lead 6-0 before a Regan Erueti try closed the gap.

The sides exchanged further tries before half time with Drew Bootten’s effort putting Leamington ahead for the first – and last – time.

The second half was tight with Hinuera scoring twice and converting one and Leamington being restricted to a Hayden Ivil try and an Erueti penalty.

The Senior B had victory snatched from their grasp after taking the lead against Southern United with two minutes to play.

The visitors were awarded a penalty in the last second of the game, and cliched a 25-24 win.

Try scorers for Leamington were Jack Monkley, Jarred Allen Baker and Sean Bolton. Kade Ormsby kicked a penalty and he and Jarred Allen Baker kicked conversions.

Leamington’s colts hosted Hamilton Marist, scored first and had a handy lead before Marist hit back. The final score was 38- 23.

Try scorers were Brett Pyke, Jackson Neels 2, Sam Monkley, Jarrod Davy. Keegan Harris and Robert Day contributed two penalties and a conversion.

The Stan Meads and Peace Cups competitions start on Saturday with Cambridge playing Piako in Morrinsville at 2.30pm.

In the Girls’ Premier Division, Cambridge High continued their winning form with a comfortable 16-1 win over St Pauls Collegiate. They meet Te Awamutu College in their final round-robin game, which promises to be a key match for the season.

In the Girls’ A Division, Cambridge High Premier Development team were beaten 10-9 by determined Matamata College. Both Matamata College and Morrinsville College field their top teams in the A Division – both lead the division rankings and are nudging for a place in the Premier Division.

Greta Burney, who coaches the Cambridge Development team with Laura Thornton, said the A Division has been particularly evenly matched this year, with all teams providing good challenges for one another.

She observed that the A Division teams have enjoyed their games and will have gained hugely from their experience this season.

Speaking about her own team, Burney said players in the Cambridge Development team had gelled exceptionally well both on and off the pitch, which has meant they had played consistently as a team both in practice and on the field. They are aiming for a spot in the

play-off for 3rd or 4th place in the A Division finals.

In the Girls’ B Division, Cambridge High White had a win against Hamilton Girls High 10-6. The other two Cambridge B Division teams will be playing mid-week.

In the Boys’ Junior Division, Cambridge High had double header matches, ending with a draw against Morrinsville College (12 goals apiece), followed by a 13-5 win against the composite Presidents team. The Premier Boys Division had a bye and will be playing again on Sunday.

There is one more week of play before the High League finals on the weekend September 19-20. The New Zealand Secondary Lacrosse Championships are scheduled for the following weekend.

Rodley’s Kentucky moment “Oh my god I’ve just won the Kentucky Derby!”

Those were the words running through Trackside TV presenter Aidan Rodley’s head just seconds after the Bob Baffert-trained Authentic lead all the way to take out the 146th running of the Kentucky Derby.

You could be forgiven for thinking Rodley (pictured), who hails from Taranaki, had found an oil well, like many of the world’s leading racehorse owners. But rather, the former Waikato Times racing editor is a micro owner of the star colt.

Rodley and four of his Stratford High School mates are included in a group of 4200 who took up an opportunity to obtain a hair in the tail of the Into Mischief colt, already a proven Group One galloper, through a US$206 share in the horse offered through online website

MyRaceHorse.com.

MyRaceHorse.com sold 70,000 shares in 47 horses in the last year and owns 12.5% of Authentic, broken down into 12,500 shares that were snapped up by 4200 individuals.

Rodley is more than aware that their shareholding is at the lowest level possible but “what we get is something far better than just a monetary return”.

“We get to say we have a runner in the Kentucky Derby, the Everest and races like that which is just priceless, and it helps keep us together as mates. – NZ Racing Desk

No blinds does the trick

I Got Music was on song at Alexandra Park on Thursday night when recording her maiden victory in the Lonestar Alex Park Performance Of The Night Handicap Trot (2700m).

The daughter of multiple Group One winner Allegro Agitato stepped away well from the front mark and got into a cosy position three back on the pegs.

Trainer and driver Kyle Marshall pulled her three-wide turning for home where she was able to gather in Miss Slippers to win by 1-1/2 lengths, with a further neck back to Natty Pagger in third.

Marshall was delighted with the win, with the Cambridge horseman citing a gear change as a big assist for the lightly raced mare.

“It was her third start and she showed that she has got a bit of ability,” Marshall said.

“She was a lot better with the blinds off. She stepped with them and could see them without being too fierce.

“During the running she was laidback, which is why she did have the blinds on (originally), but I left the plugs and she ended up doing it quite easily.”

Trainer/driver Kyle Marshall.

Marshall said the only concern he had going into Thursday night was I Got Music’s standing start manners.

“I was confident with her ability, the only question was whether she would step or not,” he said.

“I gave her plenty of practice at home, and that had been good, but she would just get to the races and freak out a wee bit. But without the blinds I think that did the trick.

“Once she trots she is alright.”

Marshall said he would now focus I Got Music towards more Alexandra Park assignments in the coming months.

“We will probably keep going around Auckland now and just work her way through the grades,” he said.

Marshall has a couple of her siblings in his barn, including Group Three performer Lady Be Good, and Itaintnecessarilyso, a two-year-old Creatine colt.

“I have got those two mares (I Got Music and Lady Be Good) and the younger colt that broke in quite nicely.

He is back in work now and hopefully he will make a nice two-year-old.”

Marshall has now recorded four wins this season and he is hoping to add to that tally at Cambridge Raceway today.

“I am really happy with the way things have started this season. I am getting a few to the races now which is good,” he said.

“We have got six nominated (for Cambridge this week),” Marshall said.

“Onedin Punter went really well firstup for me (fourth) and his work has been really good since.” – Cambridge Raceway

Flavours Spring zing 22 | CAMBRIDGE NEWS

Rhubarb is the essence of Spring. Young stalks are tender and their tang and texture can be enjoyed raw (in moderation), sliced into salsas or savoury salads. Mature stalks become woody and require stringing before cooking.

Technically a vegetable, rhubarb is nearly always used as a fruit. A native to Siberia and East Asia, it was used as far back as 2000 BC for medicinal purposes because of its purgative and astringent qualities. Mentions of a form of rhubarb appeared in the Pen Tsao, the works of a Chinese pharmacist of this period.

It was introduced to England in 1573 where, for two centuries, it was a gardener’s curiosity. The leaves are unsafe for eating as they are high in oxalic acid, a crystalline substance which is used as a bleach and cleansing agent for metals. The stalks though are non-toxic.

Rhubarb combines well with raspberries and strawberries and is also excellent combined with apples in preserves. It is quite high in moisture. If whole chunks are required, baking them is best — together with a little honey and orange juice or wine. Don’t stir, otherwise they turn mushy.

RHUBARB & RASPBERRY MUFFINS These can be frozen. However, they need to be reheated in a conventional oven so the topping doesn’t go soggy.

Topping: 1/4 cup sugar 1/2 cup plain flour 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 50g butter, melted Muffins: 2 eggs

THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 10, 2020

with Jan Bilton

1/4 cup sugar 1 1/4 cups buttermilk 1 cup frozen raspberries 2 cups finely diced rhubarb 2 3/4 cups self-raising flour 1/2 teaspoon each: baking soda, ground cinnamon, nutmeg Preheat the oven to 200°C. Lightly brush a 12-hole muffin pan with melted butter.

Combine the topping ingredients in a small bowl.

Beat the eggs and sugar until well combined then add the buttermilk, raspberries and rhubarb. Fold in the sifted dry ingredients.

Spoon into the muffin holes and sprinkle with the topping. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.

Cool in the pan for 5 minutes then cool on a wire rack. Makes 15.

QUICK RHUBARB CHUTNEY Excellent served with creamy cheeses or brushed over salmon before baking.

500g trimmed rhubarb 1 medium onion, diced 2cm piece root ginger, peeled and chopped 1/2 cup cider vinegar 3/4 cup sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt Wash the rhubarb and thinly slice.

Place the onion, ginger, vinegar, sugar and salt in a saucepan and bring to the boil.

Simmer for 5 minutes. Add the rhubarb.

Reduce the heat to low and cook for 25 minutes or until thickened.

Pour into hot sterilised jars and seal. Makes 2 3/4 cups.

Quick Rhubarb Chutney CHICKEN SCHNITZELS WITH RHUBARB Rhubarb is versatile. It makes a sweet accompaniment for desserts and a savoury one for meats.

Rhubarb: 4 stalks rhubarb 2-3 tablespoons brown sugar 1/2 cup raisins 1 cup water Schnitzels: 500g chicken schnitzels 3/4 cup each: panko crumbs, ground almonds salt and pepper to taste 1/2 cup plain flour 1 egg, lightly beaten 2-3 tablespoons olive oil Cut the rhubarb into 2cm lengths. Combine with the sugar. Soak the raisins in the water

for 30 minutes.

Cut the schnitzels into smaller pieces, if preferred.

Combine the panko crumbs and almonds on a plate. Dust the schnitzels in the seasoned flour, dip into the egg then coat in the breadcrumb mixture.

Pan-fry half the schnitzels in 1-2 tablespoons of the olive oil for about 2-3 minutes on medium, turning several times. Cover and keep warm while cooking the remainder.

Wipe the pan and return to the heat. Add the rhubarb and brown sugar. Stir on medium until just caramelised and the rhubarb juices are released. Add the raisins and a 1/2 cup of the water. Simmer for 2 minutes until a sauce forms. Serve with the schnitzels.

Serves 4.

Waipā golfer excelled as 32 students from across the Waikato competed in the annual Waikato Golf Secondary Schools Matchplay Championship at the Ngaruawahia Golf Club last week.

The qualifying round was dominated by St Peter’s students. St Peter’s golf captain Rhys Thomas took top seeding with a one under par 71, followed by his teammates Zahraa Bester, second, Ing Iadpluem fourth and George Hodgson who grabbed the last of the coveted eight Division One spots. They were joined in the top eight by Cambridge Golf Club’s Ethan Price (St Johns) as fifth seed and Cambridge High’s Luke Hoebergen in seventh.

Division 2 was topped by Suwanna McPhee (St Peter’s).

She was joined in Division 2 by seven others including fellow St Peter’s year 9, Ben Ambler and

Te Awamutu’s Sam Towers. Division 3 was headed by Cambridge High’s year 10 student Rei Masters and Division 4 included St Peter’s Heart Iadpluem and Te Awamutu’s Gemma Towers.

The knockout Matchplay was keenly fought across all four Divisions and the standard in Division 1 was exceptional.

The final between Rhys Thomas and Zahraa Bester was as tight as expected and decided in a sudden death playoff as Zahraa held her nerve to claim 2020 title, bettering her runner up finish from 2019.

Three Waipā players finished runners up in their divisions - Ben Ambler (STP) in Division 2, Rei Masters (CHS) Division 3 Heart Iadpluem (STP) in division 4..

Many of these youngsters will be back competing on the senior stage this weekend in the Cambridge Golf Clubs 72 Hole Classic.
