Tall Fern turns heads in the US St Peters Cambridge student Charlisse Leger-Walker (pictured) has won All-American honours with her college basketball team. Leger-Walker – who features in a Waipā youth awards story on Page 5 today – has become the first player from the Washington Cougars to be named in the United States Basketball Writers Association All-American team. In mid-March Walker-Leger helped Washington State University to qualify for the National Collegiate Athletic Association Tournament for the first time in 30 years and she has also been named the Pac-12 Freshman (first year player) of the Year. The Pac-12 Conference is a college athletic conference covering the western United States, catering for 24 sports. Leger-Walker was the youngest player to represent New Zealand after she was called up as a 16-year-old. She also helped New Zealand to bronze at the 2018 Commonwealth Games in Australia. While at St Peters the Hamilton born guard featured in four national school title winning teams in five years. Her mother Leanne Walker captained the Tall Ferns at the 2004 Athens Olympics and her sister Krystal is also a Tall Fern, a former St Peters Cambridge student – and is also playing for Washington State.

Disco to the rescue – again By Viv Posselt
Two special dogs whose lives are intertwined through veterinary procedures met face-to-face for the first time recently – one a life-
saving blood donor greyhound called Disco, and the other an ailing labradoodle called Skylar, who belongs to Cambridge ceramic artist and Te Awamutu Museum administrator Trish
Seddon. Now four-and-a-half, Skylar is a New Lives Animal Rescue pup adopted by Trish at just six months old. Not long ago, Trish noticed Skylar’s extreme exhaustion. “She
would sometimes just drop to the floor from standing, or fall to the ground while mid-air trying to catch a ball.” Vets discovered Skylar had Myasthenia Gravis, an autoimmune disease in which there is a malfunction in the transmission of signals between the nerves and muscles, causing excessive fatigue and difficulty in swallowing.

The Waikato Greyhound Racing Club (WGRC) is running another Open Day on Sunday, April 11. The event has a multiple focus, bringing together retired greyhounds and their owners in a social and educational day intended to dispel myths about the life of racing and retired greyhounds. The Cambridge-based president of WGRC, Jenny Bartlett, said the event, which is held twice-yearly in Cambridge, is also a fundraiser. The one held later in the year raises funds for The Shoe Box Appeal, something that provides a box of Christmas treats for greyhounds. The Open Day is at Cambridge Raceway from 10am on Sunday.

“She wasn’t producing red blood cells or making platelets,” said Trish. “She was severely anaemic and bleeding internally, and would have died if it weren’t for the blood transfusions given every four to five days at that critical stage.” Trish said Skylar was diagnosed and treated at Cambridge Pet Vet. “They were fantastic. The staff generously offered their pet dogs as blood donors, but once we had used them, we had to source other donors quickly. “In desperation I posted a request on the Cambridge Grapevine, calling for doggy blood donors weighing over 25kgs. Within about 15 minutes I had an overwhelming response of offers from over 100 local owners of all breeds of dogs. One group that stood out were the local greyhound owners. I found out that 85 percent of greyhounds are ‘universal donors’ and several of them were registered with local vets.” Among the respondents was the Cambridge-based president of the Waikato Greyhound Racing Club, Jenny

Bartlett. She is also the owner of Disco, a champion and now-retired greyhound who under his race name, Ring the Bell, won the coveted $88,000 Duke of Edinburgh Silver Collar. He also featured in the News a couple of years ago when his donated blood saved a critically ill labrador-cross called Odom. “He has since made a number of donations with local vets,” said Jenny. “I know how valuable greyhounds’ blood is in terms of transfusions, so if we can help out with our dogs, we should. It gives you a great feeling to know you have helped another dog survive.” Skylar was in ICU for two weeks and had five transfusions. At one stage she was bleeding internally so badly that blood seeped into her eyes, causing the loss of vision in one eye and compromising the other. Trish, who is extremely grateful to Disco and Jenny, and to all the other blood donors involved in Skylar’s recovery, is hopeful things will keep on improving for her beloved labradoodle.

Bubbles and bumps
My thoughts on the changes being made around town recently, due to safety concerns for children on the roads - it would seem to me to be a total overkill, and we are fast becoming a great Cambridge nanny state. Let’s face it, when can you speed around Cambridge? The place is often pretty well gridlocked anyway without the distractions that have been placed everywhere. New Zealand is drowning in road cones and now, in our own lovely town, we have been inundated in distractions and nonsense - it is so confusing. As to the silly painted bubbles on the roads and horrible orange sticks - not to mention those annoyingly crazy speed bumps being placed in so many streets - and don’t get me started on the cheaplooking planter boxes taking up so many much-needed parking spaces in Wilson street, I could go on, but what do other people think about it all? Let’s face it, the children are only going to and from school for a couple of hours a day - why do we have to suffer from all this nonsense 24/7? Graham Rickard Cambridge
More on the streets…
Wilson, Dick and Bryce Streets must be kept fully open - this is the only way there can be a diverse way from Victoria Street for traffic to flow. Otherwise, all the traffic has to all go through Victoria Street
and then up Alpha Street for those Living in Dick, Bryce, Alpha St and Haworth Ave plus all the others who take that street towards Hamilton Road. That is a large number of vehicles taking the load in this area from Victoria Street. As for the pathetic planters, enough said. It looks as though this is being done just for a few cyclists. Traffic going down into Duke Street past the school should be going the other way around, up past school and out of the Main Street. Has anyone involved with this decision actually spent time checking traffic? Cambridge Volunteer Fire Brigade, in response to calls, needs a parking area quickly in Wilson Street. This should come before biking lanes and pretty boxes. Our Cambridge Volunteer Fire Brigade takes pride in the quick and efficient response to calls. It gives excellent service to Cambridge and is the envy of many other brigades. It seems a lot of rate payers’ money has been spent on signs, and fancy boxes. If this is only a trial it is being done back to front! The placement of judderbars needs careful consideration. They are too close to crossings and it is very confusing. Cambridge must voice its opinion now, before it’s too late and the damage is done. (Abridged) Elaine and Graeme Haworth Cambridge
On the beat
with Senior Constable DEB THURGOOD
A recipe for disaster I hope you had a lovely Easter. The road toll over the long weekend was sadly not so lovely. With school holidays fast approaching, it is a big reminder to us all that we need to drive sober, drive to the conditions, ensure all car occupants are in appropriate restraints, our car is up to WOF standard and we are in our best form on the day of travel. On Easter Saturday, Police received a call about a people mover that had been seen braking randomly and harshly on Victoria street and from which a can had been thrown. Two colleagues and I were able to track it down and stop it on the Waikato Expressway. What we found was an unlicensed driver (previously forbidden from driving) who then failed a roadside breath test, blowing over the limit of 250mcg alcohol per litre of breath. In addition, the people mover contained 10 people when it was designed for just eight. One toddler was being held on the lap of a slightly older child in the middle row, and four children were squished in the back seat where only three should have been. There were insufficient appropriate car seats for all the children. This was a recipe for disaster, and it was all of our good fortune that the fellow road user called 111 in the first place. This example shows how a series of bad decisions can and do get made. If someone had hit this people mover, it is certain serious injuries would have resulted for those inside. The driver being unlicenced and under the influence was himself also a risk to others. Please think before you drive. While we are talking about road matters, I have been asked to highlight that skateboarding, scootering and cycling on the pavement through the CBD of Victoria street has again been causing problems. Skateboards and scooters are allowed to be ridden on the pavement but must be driven at a slow speed and in a way that is considerate of all other pavement users. Be especially mindful of those walking in and out of shops and crossing the pavement. Bicycles are required to be ridden on the road and with the current trials underway from the council, there is no better time to teach your children about road rules and how to safely use available cycleways. On a final note, I started off mentioning school holidays. If your next get away is scheduled for then, be burglar aware. Ensure you lock your property up securely when leaving, let friends or trusted neighbours know you’ll be away and ask someone to keep an eye on your house. Put a hold on mail or have a friend clear your mailbox regularly. If you can resist the urge, hold off posting those holiday pics on social media until after you return – they otherwise clearly advertise that no one is home at your place.

Briefs… Fighting cancer
The St Peter’s Swears House charity event, Relay for Life held at Claudelands, Hamilton, last weekend raised thousands of dollars for the Waikato Cancer Society. A total of 65 students and some teachers walked from 10am until 10pm. St Peter’s raised over $15,000, the highest amount raised by a youth organisation at the event.
Health boost
A new partnership with Waikato DHB and Wintec will remove financial barriers for 15 Māori healthcare professionals to upskill and progress their careers, raising equity and creating opportunites for Māori in healthcare. The first six Māori mental heathcare workers to receive assistance are now in their first year of study at Wintec to become registered nurses.
Third time lucky?
The Te Miro School and District Centenary celebrations – twice postposed because of Covid – are now set to go ahead on Saturday. The event had previously been planned for March 21, 2020 and then March 6 this year. “We have got our fingers crossed,” centenary committee member Matt Keyte said.
Weed killers
An aquatic weed spraying programme using Diquat and a helicopter will run start at Lake Karapiro Domain and Horahora next Monday and could continue through to May 7. The programme is run by Land Information New Zealand.
Cheque out
Waipā District Council has become the latest organisation to announce it will no longer accept cheques as payment. The council says the decision, to be actioned on April 30, is in line with New Zealand banks phasing out cheques.
Bullies on the grapevine
By Roy Pilott
A Waipā District Councillor has delivered a public message to the community after itemising a litany of abusive messages posted on social media platforms. And she has exposed the keyboard warrior abuse which has become the norm on some social media sites and the personal abuse staff endure. In a direct address to residents, she said: “we are losing staff because of the way you have treated them”. “Our parks team shouldn’t dread having to undertake work in the parks for fear of a face-to-face altercation with one of you.” Susan O’Regan spoke at a council meeting on Tuesday about the abuse which followed the announcement of plans to rejuvenate Te Awamutu’s Memorial Park. She described it as scaremongering, misinformation and harassment and said it was the worst she had seen. The park plans were ridiculed online, and allegations made that the point of the park – a memorial - was being overlooked. A public consultation process followed, but online trolls claimed there was no point consulting because decisions had already been made. Cr O’Regan told Tuesday’s Strategic
Planning and Policy Committee meeting it was great to see the compassion and commitment people held for the Memorial Park in Te Awamutu, but some of the comments on social media platforms were disgusting and entirely unacceptable. She said front line council staff should not be brought to tears by the combative behaviour of members of the public. “Nothing can legitimise personal attacks and harassment of staff,” she said. “It’s not okay.” A quick check following Tuesday’s meeting of Te Awamutu social media sites on Facebook uncovered many of the abusive postings Cr O’Regan referred to. Te Awamutu has several Facebook pages, including two using the Grapevine moniker. Many of those posts come from people using names which are easily identified in the Waipā community. In an ultimate irony amid the personal attacks on staff and councillors, when Te Awamutu Cr Marcus Gower took to one Grapevine page to say there was no conspiracy, he was told “what people are really saying is that they don’t feel valued” – and there followed a series of postings questioning the integrity of councillors. By yesterday morning it appeared some of the abusive messages had been removed.
Cr O’Regan, who chairs the planning and policy committee, raised the abuse issue as councillors reviewed development plans for Memorial Park following the consultation process. “Many people seem to have forgotten that council isn’t some nameless, faceless entity... we are all someone’s neighbour, daughter – friend.” Waipa Mayor Jim Mylchreest, who was not at this week’s meeting, told the News he refused to enter debate on social media “as a minority of cowards can certainly become soul destroying and most of them neither have the courage nor the integrity to debate the issues face to face”. He said he was pleased to say that most of residents and ratepayers appreciated work Councillors did for the community “and it is for these people that I stay involved in local government”. Cr Philip Coles was saddened to hear about the abuse – “such cowardly and insulting communication does not deserve any consideration”. Fellow councillors Roger Gordon and Hazel Barnes applauded Cr O’Regan for outing the trolls and Cr Gower underlined concern that council staff were being abused. He said a public walk through Memorial Park to discuss the plans at the end of March was marked by heckling and abusive behaviour.
Suicide awareness fundraiser at Waipā gym By Viv Posselt
Mates Matter Charitable Trust founder Craig Bulloch is holding a fundraiser in Cambridge on April 17 for suicide prevention programmes. ‘The 654 Challenge’, named for the 654 people who took their own lives in New Zealand last year, is being done in conjunction with Studio Move Cambridge. It will be held at Cambridge Community House where Craig plans to run suicide prevention and mental wellness training programmes. He set up Mates Matter earlier this year to promote mental wellness and combat suicide and has partnered with A-OK.NZ, the national provider of suicide prevention training,
with the aim of delivering programmes throughout Waikato. Craig grew up in the region and has fought his own battles against mental illness. He turned to alcohol and food until eventually, weighed down with a crippling sense of failure and certain he was a burden, he attempted suicide. “My story is very common,” he said. “We have a huge problem here. Waikato is the third worst area in the country for suicide. Of the 654 people who suicided nationally last year, 62 were in the Waikato.” Cambridge’s Studio Move is jointly owned by mum and daughter team, Tania and Shiana McKay. Tania contacted Craig after seeing his Mates Matter NZ post. “Both Shiana and I know people who have been
affected by suicide,” Tania said. “The reality is most people know someone who has been touched by it. We wanted to do something to help.” They have offered their premises to Craig for the fundraising challenge. There will be 10 stations laid out on the day. People can choose to participate individually or in teams, working out for 654 seconds (just over 10 minutes), as many times as they like. “It’s all about getting mates together,” said Craig. “People are starting to talk more openly about mental health now, but we need to learn how to pick up on cues and know where to direct concerns if someone says they are not OK.” The 654 Challenge will run from 8am to noon on

How we troll our council Social media trolls have had free range to attack Waipā councillors and staff. Here’s a snaphot of the comments Cr Susan O’Regan read to fellow councillors and staff yesterday. ‘The mayor is a mongrel…’ ‘Waipa District Council you can shove your stupid ideas where the sun doesn’t shine.’
‘Don’t you have to be a self serving criminal with your head stuck up your butt to be on council?’ ‘All councillors suck – they need a good kick up the arse.’ ‘I trust Waipā District Council as much as I would a $3 note. The mayor is particularly untrustworthy.’
‘Councils are vandalising idiots.’
‘Hey, here’s a good idea – let’s just rip up the whole town and start again.’ ‘Ignorant bastards’
‘Council – too damn lazy and shows lack of foresight.’ ‘Ok – which insensitive moron came up with this idea?’ Mates Matter Charitable Trust founder, Hamilton’s Craig Bulloch.
April 17, at Studio Move, 23c Albert St, Cambridge. An ‘endurance hour’ is being run from 8am-9am, and from 11am to noon. Entry is $15 per person, or $100 for a team of 10, with all funds going to Mates Matter NZ. For details go to the Mates Matter Charitable Trust Facebook page or email Craig matesmatternz@gmail.com.
‘If it’s a matter of money, reduce the chief executive’s wage and use that for the work.’ ‘Find someone else to build your self gratification monuments.’

Youth awards open City opposes Nominations have opened for the 19th 2021 Waipā District Council Youth Awards, which celebrate the achievements of the 14- to 18-year-olds. The awards recognise achievements in academic, community service, leadership, sporting and arts/culture categories. Last year’s awards attracted 109 entries and produced 65 award winners – named at a Covid-impacted online awards ceremony. Council created a video featuring head students announcing the award winners. This year, a new environmental category sponsored by Fonterra has been added to the award spectrum to acknowledge care for the environment. Youth aged 14-18 years who live in or have attended school
Bert Downs, from Te Awamutu College, was cited for his academic achievements in 2020.

in Waipā for at least six months of the 2020 academic year are eligible to enter. Mayor Jim Mylchreest said the awards were one way to acknowledge the large achievement that Waipā youth had put in over the past year. “A large part of what makes Waipā a vibrant community is our young people who innovate, challenge and inspire those around them every day to make life better. These awards are our way of acknowledging these exceptional youth who make an epic contribution to our schools and wider community.” “Receiving an accolade such as these awards can also help boost future scholarship and academic opportunities, showing the drive and determination each person has put in to achieving excellence,” Mylchreest said.
Each year the ceremony is hosted by head students of Te Awamutu College, Cambridge High School and St Peter’s School Cambridge and held at one of the three secondary schools. The 2021 awards ceremony will be held at St Peter’s School in Cambridge on Thursday 26 August. The event is being backed by Fonterra, the University of Waikato, Cambridge and Te Awamutu Rotary, Cambridge

Māori wards
Hamilton will go to the 2022 local body elections without a Māori seat. The city council voted 8-4 against establishing a Māori ward in the first vote on the issue in the province since the Government gave councils the power to make a final decision on the issue. Previously, electorates could overturn council decisions by referenda. Last week Hamilton mayor Paula Southgate said she couldn’t support the introduction of Māori wards without first consulting the wider public. Waipā District Council is doing just that, and the public has until Monday week to provide feedback. To date, referenda on the issue has been overwhelmingly opposed to Māori wards. The Māori population in Waipā is put at 15 per cent. That point was not lost on Waipā councillor Hazel Barnes, who suggested the response was a foregone conclusion. If councils do introduce Māori wards it will be at the expense of a corresponding number of general wards. In Waipā’s case councillors have already had discussions behind closed doors on cutting their numbers. The district has a mayor elected at large, five Cambridge, four Te Awamutu, two Pirongia and two rural representatives. Waikato-Tainui said it was extremely disappointed by the vote in Hamilton.
Linda Te Aho called the decision short-sighted.
Waikato Tainui Te Arataura chairwoman Linda Te Aho, who penned a column for the News which ran last month, said the council’s decision was short-sighted and driven by political expediency. She suggested it rendered He Pou Manawa Ora – a strategy which recognises Māori as key partners in determining Hamilton’s future - an empty vessel. Hamilton does have Māori appointed representatives - Maangai Māori - on four standing committees, in the same way Waipā does. Taitimu Maipi, who attacked the city’s Captain Hamilton statue in 2018 and attended last week’s meeting, called on Maangai Māori representatives to resign following the city decision.

Te Awamutu physio expands business with new medical centre in Cambridge
A
trusted Waipa physio is expanding its business with a new location in Cambridge adding to its base already set up in Te Awamutu and Ōtorohanga.

Call for poppy helpers Volunteers are needed to help during this year’s Poppy Day on April 16. Cambridge RSA president Tony Hill said people were needed to sell poppies at any of the 10 Poppy Day stations to be set up across Cambridge and Leamington. A new initiative this year is the introduction of QR codes which will make it easier for people to make donations without needing to use cash. Money raised through the annual Poppy Day street collection goes towards the support work done by RSA groups around the country. Funds raised in Cambridge will remain in this area. Those keen to help out should contact Cambridge RSA secretary, Tricia Hague, as soon as possible, on 027 388 6243 or via email, triciaannhague@gmail. com.

Restoration of war graves starts
A restoration project aimed at protecting Cambridge’s war graves is underway, and RSA member Alan Sherris wants to hear from families either linked to the graves or interested in the restoration programme itself. The move to protect the resting places of those affiliated with New Zealand’s military past is tied to a national effort launched last year by New Zealand Remembrance Army. The initiative is being co-ordinated by the Royal New Zealand Returned and Services’ Association (RSA). The goal, said Alan, is to ensure that every service grave in New Zealand is restored to the same level as those of their comrades overseas. “Ours is a simple mission. We recognise the contributions that those who have gone before us have made,” he said. “In 2020, some 21,400 headstones and plaques were restored in communities across New Zealand. A small group from the Cambridge RSA has committed to pick up this idea and restore the 700 plus gravestones and plaques that commemorate the lives of our local heroes who answered the call of King and country.” Alan said while Cambridge families are already taking good care of their family members’ resting places, his group is mindful that each grave site is private property and the families’ wishes must be respected. “We are asking anyone who does not want us to do any restoration
work to advise us so we can respect those wishes.” The first stage of the project was to spray the headstones and plaques to kill the lichen and moss. Cambridge RSA president Tony Hill said the next phase, the restoration of marble headstones and plaques at Hautapu Cemetery, began with an initial working bee on March 14 where uniformed members of the Hamilton City Cadets and their families spent several hours working
on site. The day ended with a flag ceremony and the recitation of ‘The Ode’, the well-known fourth stanza from Laurence Binyon’s poem, ‘For the Fallen’. Tony said the mid-March working bee on restoring the war graves was the start of an ongoing programme. Alan said the group wanted to hear from people who want to be involved in the restoration programme. “We would welcome contact from
family members of those whose headstones are to be restored, so we can provide information on how the processes are done.” Once work has been completed at Hautapu, a programme of work for both Leamington and Pukerimu headstones will be prepared. Alan suggests people contact him at sofiak@xtra.co.nz. More information on the New Zealand Remembrance Army is at www.rsa. org.nz/nz-remembrance-army.

OPINION
FAITH IN WAIPĀ
Help us to plan ahead
Fake news versus faith views
There is so much to be excited about, right now. Our new passenger rail service, Te Huia, launched at the beginning of April and will, I believe, transform transport between Waikato and Auckland. Providing travel for 300 passengers between Hamilton and Papakura each weekday will make roads safer, give people the travel time reliability they need, and the opportunity to either work or relax between destinations. The first service rolled out of Frankton, stopping at Rotokauri and Huntly enroute to Papakura, on Tuesday. It’s going to be awesome! Public transport is something I have a huge passion for. It’s shared by my councillors, who have made providing better regional connections a focus for us. Te Huia is only the start of big things, as opportunities are investigated to expand the service. In fact, increasing rail services and improving connectivity is on the list of eight long term plan proposals we’re seeking public feedback on in April. And that’s something else I’m excited about – our long term plan consultation. It opened on April 1 and closes at 4pm on April 30. There’s some really meaty issues we’re looking to our communities to submit on, and one in particular promises to be a gamechanger in this region. We’re proposing to set up a sustainable homes scheme – a programme already kicking goals elsewhere in New Zealand. It would involve the council borrowing money to lend to ratepayers wanting to retrofit their houses with things like solar panelling,
Fallacies can get reported as though they were accurate historical happening. There’s no end to examples of purportedly ‘factual’ events, that didn’t occur the way we might have been led to believe. At school I ‘learned’ that a rebellious Ngapuhi chief, Hone Heke, repeatedly cut down a flagpole in Kororareka (Russell), defying British colonial forces, and how his actions provoked war. The missing facts were that it was Hone Heke’s own flagpole, cut down in legitimate protest at the Crown’s continual breaching of promises and then, the British started fighting to crush ‘native insurrection’. Maybe you’ve heard how they booed Bob Dylan at a music festival in Newport for going electric? Or how military personnel returning from service in the Vietnam war were routinely spat on by antiwar protestors? We’d be justified in feeling indignant at such accounts - if they had actually occurred. The fact is these alleged incidents bear little or no resemblance to reality. Through the lens of a biased perception, a revised, distorted narrative of the truth became perpetuated - and a myth was born. Behind us, lies Easter weekend. A significant event on the Christian calendar. But are the recorded elements of the Easter story with Jesus Christ crucified on a cross, being buried and then rising again on the third day actually reliable? Or with the passage of time, has it been embellished and exaggerated, modified or completely re-written? A cynical English writer who rubbished the Bible’s account of the Easter narrative was challenged to evaluate the evidence set forth, as if in a court of law. Determined to write a book debunking the death of Jesus on the cross and His subsequent resurrected

water tanks and efficient home heating. Being on tank water myself in rural Waikato, I appreciate what a precious resource water is – and how water storage solutions can ease the pressure on our waterways, in particular during drought. So I’ll be keen to hear what our communities think of the sustainable homes scheme proposal. It’s a massive shift from anything we’ve done before, and with New Zealand facing a housing crisis, it makes sense to retrofit homes so they’re healthy and efficient places in which to live. What else are we asking for feedback on during April? A plan which sets out how we’ll tackle pest plants and animals is up for review. So, at the same time we’re talking to you about our long-term plan, we’ll be coming to you for feedback on changes we’re proposing to the regional pest management plan. Over the past 12 months staff have been talking to our coastal communities, as well as considering iwi environmental management plans as part of a review of our regional coastal plan. During April we’ll be testing the waters to make sure we’re on the right track with the review of the plan, which sets the rules for how we sustainably manage activities in the coastal marine area. So, as you can see, there’s a lot we’re seeking feedback on, and your voice matters. At their heart these plans are about making our region even better – for the generations here now and those to come. Find out more at waikatoregion.govt.nz/ yourvoicematters.

appearance to His followers, the striking body of plausible evidence Frank Morison discovered, brought him under deep conviction. Doing an about face, he wrote a book called “Who Moved the Stone?” Morison found credibility in the many witnesses to Jesus’ sufferings on a Roman cross alongside two criminals. The mock trial contrived with fake evidence from His accusers among the Jewish religious hierarchy, had led the Roman governor Pilate to resist condemnation of Christ declaring, “I find no fault in him…” Washing his hands in a bowl before a howling mob as if to absolve himself from complicity he claimed…”I am free from the blood of this man.” The Jewish mob cried, “His blood be upon us and our children!” Removed from the cross, the lifeless body of Jesus was placed in a rock tomb, sealed by a massive stone, guarded by Roman soldiers. The events of Easter Sunday morning shook the world as Christ arose triumphing over death. Early on that third day following Good Friday, Jesus’ followers arrived to find the stone pushed aside and the tomb empty. Initially dejected and bewildered, literally hundreds of these disciples later encountered Jesus alive, subsequent to His resurrection. That reality changed their lives forever - it still changes lives today. Turning their world upside down, many were martyred for their witness to Christ. Passion for a cause they knew was not fraudulent, compelled them. Their evidence transformed Morison from sceptic to believer - as it it will any honest enquirer.

Permanent pop up
A pop-up shop started in Cambridge earlier this year to raise funds for Kids in Need Waikato is here to stay. The op-shop styled outlet opened at the Red Cross Hall in Milicich Place in February. It was founded by Cambridge’s Brenda Rameka, Betty Busst and Julie Baines after Brenda saw an opportunity to further support the work of Linda Roil’s Kids in Waikato, and the wider community. Due to the support shown and ever-increasing need in the community, the shop will now open on the second and fourth Friday and Saturday of each month, at the same venue and under its name, Busy Bees Pop-Up Op Shop. It has also broadened its fundraising focus to include families in need. The shop sells items normally found in an op-shop – it is not restricted to children’s items. Brenda said the main challenge was to spread the word about the shop’s presence in Milicich Place. “We’re hoping people will add us to their op shop trail, and also consider donating their pre-loved items to us.” The April opening dates are from 10am to 2pm on Friday and Saturday, April 9 and 10, and again on April 23/24. More details are on the Pop-Up Op Shop Cambridge Facebook page or email busybeescambridge@gmail.com.

New floral group launched
A group of women who between them have earned their stripes in the world of creative floral art are starting up a new floral art club in Cambridge. ‘Cambridge Petal Power’ will hold the first of its monthly gatherings on April 19, from 9.30am to 12.30pm at the Raleigh St Christian Centre in Leamington. That first session is open to the public and intended to inform and entice, and provide an opportunity for women (and men, if they’re keen) to create floral art creations, whether they’re entirely new to it or experienced old hands. Club president Carrie Kitching, who started doing floral art in 1998 in the United Kingdom, said the group is aware that some people eager to join may work full-time and said they were open to the idea of offering the option of a weekend session. The group, which was formed in January, belongs to The Floral Art Society of New Zealand. The women behind it were tiring of having to travel out of Cambridge to meet with other groups, and decided the time was right to bring floral art back to town. A previous group folded some time ago, leaving enthusiasts

with little choice but to travel to clubs in either Hamilton or Te Awamutu. Carrie said floral art had changed over the past few decades. What had been a pastime enjoyed by those seeking to create arrangements for their homes, often with homegrown flowers, it had adapted to today’s time-poor enthusiasts looking to create ‘art forms with a modern twist’. She said learning how to do floral art offered opportunities for people to be creative with a wide range of readily available
material. Her vice-president Careen Lincoln said the club was a great way for people to make friends while sharing ideas and doing something enjoyable. Dorothy Turner will handle education in the new club. Like other committee members, she has an impressive track record in the world of New Zealand floral art, and said the pastime is one of the best and most relaxing therapies around. “We’ll be catering for what people want, so
will be guided by those coming along. This group is for anyone wanting to come together to enjoy creating art and craft with flowers.” Carrie said the new group was casting its net across the central North Island and interest had already been shown by people from Tokoroa and Rotorua. There has been a good response to the group’s Facebook page (Cambridge NZ Petal Power). Other committee members are secretary Marguerita McBeath, and treasurer Linda Richardson.

THE AGE OF REASON
C2P meeting
Enjoying the open road By Peter Carr
One of the pleasures of using the roading system over a long weekend was the absence of freight trucks. Up front let me declare support for the trucking industry, which moves a percentage of the nation’s freight in the upper quartile. It’s an opportunity thrust on them by successive governments who cannot grapple with the intransigence of all historical rail operators, including the government themselves. We have a narrow gauge track and a frustrating physical and geographical topography. There is also a fear of being caught wrongfooted if attempts are made to put that infrastructure onto a sensible level while maintaining a workable balance sheet. We also have ancient rail carriages, equally ancient and frequently upgraded engines and a complete misunderstanding that scale is the answer to passenger movement. Witness the ridiculous hopes of the Waikato Regional Council with their lengthy, once a day, change-stations slow-speed pathetic attempt at running a passenger rail service. Before my good friend, the chair of that august political body, comes down on me like a ton of bricks let me say I admire their enthusiasm and even their eventual target. But changing stations is a great way to cause frustration, angst, delay and increase costs. Meanwhile the other viable - if allowed - freight operator, coastal shipping is hamstrung by high union-dominated costs, high-cost port interchange activities and the fact that a through service, as provided by trucking, will always triumph over a mode that has at the very least three legs and

multi-handling exchange costs. The lack of trucks over the recent long weekend was brought home to me when we decided to take part in a family lunch in Rotorua. It’s a journey of a fraction over one hour each way. I was impressed by the sensible driving I witnessed along the way. Remember this was a weekend where the road death toll assumed a level which will give the government and police much food for thought. It was a pleasure not to try to get the dashboard needle to about 4kph above the 100 mark. Mathematicians will tell you the Cambridge to Rotorua journey has a time difference of nine minutes when driving steadily on the non-built-up areas at 90kph rather than 100kph. So, what is a life worth? Some transport purists use $2 million per life lost when assessing the worth of Route A v Route B options for building roads. The figure is immaterial - for the real costs lies in family anguish, attendant stress, loss to society of a worthwhile employee and a possible social welfare cost on the afflicted family. Not having trucks this past weekend also aided and abetted more sensible driving except for those caught up in the sad road toll that appears to be very centric to the North Island. Perhaps we need some more of those excellent South Island roads which also have a major plus factor – they are mainly relatively empty!

Wilder adventures ahead
James Gray Kindergarten’s head teacher Eleanor Wilder is retiring at the end of this term, stepping down from a role she has held – and loved – for 22 years. “I still have the energy but I’m starting to feel a bit older now and friends in my age group are starting to retire and say how wonderful it is,” she said. “It’s been so satisfying to come to work every day and it’s been a lovely environment to work in, but I just think it’s time. I’m ready to go.” From the time she was a child herself, Eleanor seemed destined for a career in early childhood education. Born in Hastings, she grew up on a central Hawke’s Bay farm and was “always really keen on little children and babies”. “I used to harass the poor neighbour next door to our farm and want to help her out with her baby and apparently I was quite bossy,” she said. After leaving high school she trained at Wellington Kindergarten Teachers’ College from 1972-1973 and gained a New Zealand Kindergarten Federation Union diploma, taking her first job at Waterloo
Kindergarten in Lower Hutt at 19. Over a career spanning nearly five decades she has taught children at six other North Island kindergartens, been a senior teacher in Auckland, facilitated an adult education programme at Auckland Teachers’ Training College, and taken time out to travel and have her own two children. “I love working with young children,” she said. “There’s a satisfaction in seeing children grow in knowledge, skills and a love for learning. And I love their fun, I love their ideas. When you’re with young children there’s just such a warmth and love of being.” Eleanor moved to Cambridge from Auckland in pursuit of “a more rural lifestyle” with her family in 1999 to become James Gray Kindergarten’s head teacher, never imagining she would see out her career here. “The families, children and staff I’ve worked with, who have all had that same commitment and passion for early childhood, are the reason I’ve stayed so long,” she said. “It’s been a lovely, lovely place to work.” A passionate believer in the “crucial importance” of early childhood education, Eleanor

counts the launch of the Te Whāriki early childhood education curriculum in 1996 and winning pay parity with primary school teachers in 2002 among her career highlights. She’s also proud of helping James Gray receive Enviroschools accreditation
and of the endorsement she and her staff have received from the Education Review Office over many years. “ERO sees the quality of our programme and we have always succeeded in having good reviews,” she said. Now, she is excited about new adventures
ahead: singing, joining the ukulele club, gardening, road trips, making new friends and relief teaching at kindergartens around the Waikato. Eleanor said kindergarten teaching had been an “amazing job”. “I couldn’t have chosen a
better career for me and for my personality and the way I like to live my life,” she said. Cambridge people are invited to farewell Eleanor at James Gray Kindergarten on Friday, April 30 at 2.30pm. Please RSVP to jamesgray@ kindergarten.org.nz or phone 827 4714.

Naming policy under review
Waipā identity, local people, topographical features and issues of historical or cultural significance. While mono-lingual names would be preferred, the use of te reo would be supported. Proposed names would be discussed with mana whenua to ensure historical context was taken into account. Under the draft policy, names considered derogatory, discriminatory, frivolous, offensive or in poor taste would be unacceptable, as would the names of pets. Duplicate names or those which might cause confusion would not be approved. Council will also recommend that existing names in the district only be changed in exceptional circumstances, because of the cost to Council and the time involved. Feedback on the draft Naming Policy will be sought between May 3 and June 4 and a policy will be adopted in August.
Waipā District Council wants a clearer and more consistent way to name parks, roads and reserves in the district. Its Strategic Planning and Policy Committee heard this week the existing policy was being bypassed because it was not always clear or easy to apply. As a result, some names in the district lacked any connection to the locality, the community or even the district, a staff report said. Committee members agreed to consult the community next month over a potential new approach to provide greater clarity and offer a more streamlined process. There would be no list of pre-approved names and property developers would not be able to decide names unilaterally. Instead, a Waipā-centric system of naming is proposed. Names would be judged on their merit against transparent, set criteria covering

NO PLANET B
You don’t convince me… By Peter Matthews
Oh dear. I appear to be stirring things up a bit. I’m guessing that there are some people who accept mankind’s role in the current degradation of the natural environment. They are just not writing to me as often as those who do not. What I find strange is that a few of these people appear to be labouring under the misapprehension that a few words, and not so few exclamation marks from them, will precipitate a ‘Damascus moment’ and I will begin immediately to write a column espousing the opposite view to the one I have presented here for some time. In fact, one gentleman even expressed his eager anticipation to read my offering this week in which he fully expects that, having read his letter, I will declare that there is no such thing as human-induced climate change, and all is well. This man said that if I have any ‘conclusive proof’ of man’s involvement in climate change I was either to present it or stand aside and allow the truth to come forward. Two things: First, I am flattered that anyone thinks my words are worth reading, much less responding to. Second, as I would hope some might have realised by now, I’m all for the truth, and long may its searing light be shone into the dull eyes of ignorance and prejudice wherever they lurk - but ‘conclusive proof’? That’s a bit of a tall order - not even God has to do that. How about ‘weight of evidence’? Here’s a working definition of that phrase: ‘a systematic approach that scientists use
to evaluate the totality of scientific evidence to assess if the science supports a particular conclusion’, relying on ‘expert scientific judgment to assess, review and integrate all of the results to form a meaningful conclusion’. It seems pretty obvious from that definition alone that scientists are always keenly aware of the possibility that they may be wrong, in fact they welcome the possibility as they navigate the oftentortuous path towards truth. Notice that word ‘towards’. With regard to climate change it’s not only possible but highly likely that we’re not there yet. And yet one common denominator of the communications I get from the climate change deniers is that they all seem to be utterly convinced of their own rectitude. However, despite the fact that the denier’s voice is often rather more shrill and indignant than that of the scientist, there is something vaguely compelling about the message. There is no doubt that I want to believe what they are saying. After all, their message is one of reassurance to those of us who have been worrying about our children’s futures. And so, after giving the matter even more thought over the past few days than I usually do and having followed a few of the links which have arrived in my in box, I have arrived at a conclusion: You’re going to have to do better than that.

Obituary: MARGARET RUTH DE LAVAL VOSPER – December 5, 1931 - March 18, 2021
Part of the ‘whakapapa of this place’
Guy, Stephanie and the late James. They spoke about idyllic rural years there, rearing orphaned lambs, shearing times with tables creaking with food, Margaret bottling enough seasonal fruit to last the year, laughter-filled indoor and outdoor games. Katharine remembered her mother preparing to hike the Milford Track… walking up and down the driveway with a backpack full of bricks. Katharine recalled visits her mother made to Sydney before she and David returned to Cambridge to share in Margaret’s autumn years. All remembered her kindness, her fearlessness and fortitude. Cambridge’s memories of Margaret are of that and more. Driven by her servant heart, she was recognised for her work with many different organisations and was awarded a Community Service Award in 2006 from the Cambridge Community Board, and in 2000, became a Companion of the Queen’s Service Order (QSO) for Community Service. Her name is on the Cambridge Primary School Honours Board for 1944, and she won the title ‘Mrs Cambridge’ in 1972. The organisations to benefit from her efforts include Save the Children Fund, Girl Guides, Grey Power, Citizens Advice Bureau, Bible Society, Bible in Schools, the Cambridge Historical Society, Plunket, Meals on Wheels and Friends of Resthaven. Her involvement with St Andrew’s Church was lifelong. Margaret, it was said, always led by example, always had a smiling welcome. She was remembered by her goddaughter Annemarie Panzic as an ‘amazing godmother’, someone who never sought sympathy even in her darkest times, but instead reached out to care for others.
By Viv Posselt
Faith was front and centre of Margaret Vosper’s life. It steeled her against tragedy, became her family’s life-blood and was a beacon for decades spent serving others. Stephanie Vosper, one of her three surviving children, described her mother’s influence when live-streaming her funeral service message from abroad: “The light in you created the light in me”. Margaret Ruth de Laval Vosper died in Waikato Hospital on March 18 and was farewelled at a packed service at Cambridge’s St Andrew’s Anglican Church. It was there that Stephanie, plus Margaret’s two other surviving children, Katharine Milson and Guy Vosper, spoke poignantly to their mother’s memory. Her simple, warm memorial was made yet more fitting by being held in a church with such a strong family connection. Margaret’s grandfather, Archdeacon William Newcombe de Laval Willis, was the first vicar of St Andrew’s Anglican Church, serving Cambridge from 1878 to 1912. In leading Margaret’s service, St Andrew’s vicar Fr Malcolm French said she had a ‘steely positivity’, adding that she was “not just positive, but was determined about it”. “Margaret is part of the whakapapa of this place,” he said. “Her roots and presence here is so significant.” Born in Cambridge, one of three boys and two girls, Margaret attended Cambridge Primary School where, it was suggested, she was a model student who needed the occasional ‘extra discipline’. She later completed a Master of Arts degree in English, Ancient History and Languages at Auckland University, then worked as a health education officer before heading to England on her OE. It was after she returned that she met her late husband, Bill. The couple married on December 1, 1960 and settled at ‘Dingley Dell’ on Maungatautari Rd; it was there they raised their own family, Katharine,
PICTURED: Margaret Vosper will be remembered for her ready smile and service to others.

Leaders hail the new rail service
The new Te Huia passenger rail service launched this week will be a crucial connection between Hamilton and Auckland for an initial 300 people a day, Waikato Regional Council chairman Russ Rimmington says. An open day ahead of the launch involved formalities at the new Rotokauri transport hub in Hamilton, followed by a blessing of the Rāhui Pōkeka station in Huntly. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, King Tūheitia, Transport Minister Michael Wood, Local Government Minister Nanaia Mahuta, MPs and opposition party members, regional, city and district councillors and KiwiRail representative attended. “The Waikato is about to enter an exciting new era in public transport,” Russ Rimmington. “It will help to make roads safer, give people the stressfree travel and reliability they need between Waikato and Auckland, and the opportunity to either work or relax between destinations.” He said the service had been “a long time in the making and called it a triumph of collaboration. “Providing better regional connections is a focus for the Waikato Regional Council, and Te Huia is only the start of big things, as opportunities are investigated to expand the service and make it faster.” The weekday Te Huia service will leave Frankton at 5.46am and 6.28am and stop at Rotokauri and Huntly. The return service will depart from Papakura at 4.42pm and 6.25pm. The journey between Hamilton and central Auckland will be two and a half hours with a swap in Papakura. Almost $100 million has been made available for a five-year project – $85.8 million is coming from central government via Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency and local government is contributing the remaining $12.2 million. Waikato District Council’s rail governance working group representative, Cr Eugene Patterson, said Te Huia would “change the face of public transport in the region and Waikato District Council Mayor Allan Sanson said his council had big plans for the future of the station. That included an improvement to the park and ride facility

Dealing with disputes From time to time, our volunteers are asked what kinds of disputes can be resolved through mediation. Our website, www.cab.org.nz, offers links and useful information to answer this question. A range of disputes can be resolved through mediation, as long as both parties in dispute agree to it. You can be referred to mediation if you have taken a dispute to court, or you can apply for mediation yourself via a dispute resolution service. For example, disputes resolution services can arrange for mediation for the following types of disputes: • care of children (through Family

In addition, anyone can get mediation to help settle a dispute between family
members, flatmates, or neighbours. Where there is a fee for mediation it is usually less than the cost of taking legal action in the court.

Kaumatua backs screening programme
A senior kaumatua to the Kīngitanga movement, is lending his mana and own story to the launch the National Bowel Screening programme across Waikato. The free screening programme is rolling out across the region for men and women aged of 60 to 74. David Huti Waitere is urging people to whakarongo, kōrero and ako – listen to his story, open up talk about changes in their bowels and learn from his experience 22 years ago. Mr Waitere was diagnosed with bowel cancer in 1999. He was 55 and working fulltime in the agriculture industry. He was fit and had no obvious risk factors; he
didn’t smoke or drink and wasn’t overweight. His youngest daughter and now caregiver Claudine Waitere recalls her dad losing a dramatic amount of weight and being constantly tired. “Dad was a really strong, healthy farmer – he’d be carrying fence posts and cutting down trees and scrub,” she says. “But he was losing weight and that was hard to see. He should have been about 70 to 80 kilograms, but he was about 62. He got pretty skinny and he’s always been a good eater.” She says her dad would try and hide some of his symptoms from his wife Bonnie, including the bleeding from his rectum.
How the process works:
The Ministry of Health will send out a ‘Fit’ kit in the mail every two years to those in the eligible age range. If it is your turn to be screened, you will receive an invitation letter, a consent form, and a free bowel screening kit. The free test is quick, clean and simple to do by yourself at home. The kit will last six months if the seal is unbroken, giving you time to discuss it with friends, family or your doctor and to complete it in your own time. Once the seal is broken it should be used as soon as possible because it should arrive at the laboratory for testing within seven days. The kit can be sent in the post using a prepaid protective envelope. Participants will then be sent a letter with the results of the test. If negative, nothing further needs to be done until it’s time to do the kit again in two years. If positive, the participant’s GP will be in contact to arrange a free appointment paid for by the Bowel Screening Programme to discuss the results and the next steps. If you have any of the following symptoms, or you are concerned about your bowel health, see your GP right away: • Bleeding from the bottom (rectal bleeding) • Change of bowel motions/habits that come and go over several weeks • Anaemia • Severe persistent or periodic abdominal (tummy) pain • A lump or mass in the abdomen • Tiredness and loss of weight for no obvious reason For more information, visit the Time to Screen website, call Time to Screen on 0800 924 432 or talk to your doctor.

Struggle Juggle Tree
David Waitere, pictured with his daughter Claudine.
It was Bonnie who kept pushing him to go to the doctor. Mr Waitere says he kept working despite the symptoms “until I had to go to the doctor and the doctor said I needed to stop”. While he was working, Mr Waitere would also travel to hui most weekends as a servant to late Māori Queen Te Arikinui Dame Te Atairangikaahu, and the current King Tuheitia. “Those were the things he did with his life despite his illness,” Ms Waitere says. And it was an illness which was very much kept a secret from the family’s five young children. “We didn’t realise that he was going through his struggle and he didn’t share much with us either. So families need to talk about this so that we can understand what’s going on,” Ms Waitere says. Mr Waitere was cured of his cancer following surgery. “During the pre-surgery consultation it was noted that one of the actions was to ask whether Dad would agree to have a stoma bag inserted. Being a person who didn’t question authority or the mana of the doctor, he gave consent without fully
understanding what was being asked. This was a very emotional low point for my sister-in-law who was with Dad at the time. “Decisions like this should be discussed with the whānau, not just the patient alone. Fortunately, the decision to have a stoma bag did not go ahead,” Ms Waitere says. “So Dad’s saying ‘whakarongo, kōrero, ako’ serves well in a whanau context as well. Gastroenterologist and Waikato Bowel Screening Programme clinical lead Dr Liz Phillips says she’s grateful for Mr Waitere’s courage in sharing his story and is thankful he was one of those who survived. Each year around 3000 Kiwis will be diagnosed with bowel cancer, while more than 1200 will die from it. Bowel cancer, also known as colon, rectal or colorectal cancer, is the second-most common cause of cancer death in New Zealand. Dr Phillips says the National Bowel Screening Programme saves lives by detecting possible signs of cancer early, meaning it can be cured in a less aggressive way that what Mr Waitere went through.

Arts round applications open
Applications have opened for funding through the Waipā District Council for creative projects throughout the district. The April round of the Creative Communities Scheme is taking applications for community arts initiatives that help grow and promote local creativity. Project funding can be used for materials for arts activities or programmes, venue or equipment hire, personnel or administrative costs for short-term projects and promotion of arts activities that will run between May 31 and November 1. Kihikihi School was one of the 16 applicants to receive funding in the last round for a Māori kite making wānanga, led by facilitator Harko Brown. The workshop educated kaiako (teachers) and community members about the Māori heritage artform of kite making and flying, which enabled teachers to take this new knowledge back to their schools.
Kihikihi School teacher Erin KeremetaKapa said kites were traditionally used by Māori in a number of ways. “Kites were flown for recreation, but they also had other purposes. They were used to mark important occasions, to communicate over long distances, to settle disputes, to scope out lands and as a conduit between the heaven and earthly realms.” “They were created from a range of natural materials and some were renowned for their giant size and the skill with which they were flown.” Keremeta-Kapa said Council’s Creative Communities Scheme fund was essential in making the workshop happen. “Without the funding it wouldn’t have been possible.” Waipā District Council strategy and community services group manager Debbie Lascelles said the scheme is a fantastic way for artists to share their skills and knowledge

Local derby to spark footie Cambridge’s football season goes from simmer to full heat this weekend when the Reds host local rivals Claudelands Rovers at John Kerkhof Park. Both clubs have had stuttering starts to their Lotto NRFL second division season, losing their opening games but then bouncing back with comfortable wins on Easter Monday. The Waikato rivals meet on Saturday, even on league points and knowing a win will lift their club into the top half of the table. The U-23s reserves play at 12.30pm while the first teams go head-to-head at 3pm. Chances are the Reds will go into the match relying on the talent of a new crop of young players who are quickly finding their feet at this level of competition. Striker Aston Hurd (17), midfielder Tom O’Leary (19) and defender Willem Dikmans (19) have all pushed their way into the Reds first team. Over Easter, Hurd and O’Leary both scored for the Reds while Dikmans turned out twice for the club’s U-23 reserves team before coming off the bench for the first team. Cambridge lost their Good Friday match 5-1 to Greenhithe Catimba but then notched confidencebuilding 4-1 win at Hibiscus Coast on Easter Monday. The loss to Catimba was not helped by a slow start, in which the Aucklanders took the lead in the fourth minute, and the loss of Patrick Woodlock to a red card on the hour. Cambridge’s goal was scored by Michael Cosgrave early in the second half. The home side showed some fight for the last half hour, an indication that a better display might be possible on Easter Monday. Indeed it was, and this time the Reds started at full speeed, going ahead through Hurd in the third minute and then doubling
their lead after 17 minutes through winger Ewan Donald. The previously unbeaten Hibiscus Coast fought back with a goal in the 47th minute through Tyler Agiovlassitis. Almost immediately, Cambridge retaliated with a goal from Cosgrave. The result was put beyond doubt when Hurd clinched the points with his second goal, in the 84th minute. Meanwhile, Cambridge’s U-23 side played early games against Greenhithe Catimba and Hibiscus Coast, featuring more promising young players. Cambrige beat Catimba 4-0 with Hurd scoring twice for the side in the first 17 minutes. Oliver Haultain (21) added the third with the goal of the day, a sweetly struck volley from the edge of the area. The final goal came from Peter Buesnel. On Monday, the U-23s lost 4-2 to Hibiscus Coast with the Reds’ goals scored by Morgan Montrose (18) and Ben Dixon who turned 19 the week before.

Nineteen-year-old Willem Dikmans is among a crop of promising youngsters at Cambridge.
On Easter Saturday, the club’s third senior men’s team went to the top of the WaiBop Championship with a 6-1 win over Otumoetai at John Kerkhof Park. Tom Woutersen, Haydn Roil and Adam Brady all scored twice. The unbeaten Cambridge side travels to second-placed Hamilton Wanderers on Saturday for an early test of their title credentials. This weekend also heralds the opening day of Waikato
senior men’s and women’s football. A feature is the launch of a new competition specially for over-35 men. Cambridge has two teams entered and they have been drawn to play each other in the opening round (12.30pm kick off on Saturday).
