te awamutu courier - june 13th, 2006

By Grant JohnstonTeamwork is vital for success in

most rowing events and was the key ingredient in the successful World Rowing Championships bid cooked up by Rowing New Zealand.

The bid to host the 2010 World Champs at Lake Karapiro had ‘everyone on board’ - from rowing’s administrators and greats, to central and local government and corporate sponsors.

The Olympic champion Evers-Swindell twins helped to present the bid as Rowing New Zealand ambas-sadors in Switzerland.

And no stone was left unturned by Rowing New Zealand CEO, Craig Ross and chairman, Bill Falconer in ensuring that what needed to be put in place to win the hosting rights would be done.

Chairman of the organising com-mittee for the 1978 World Champi-onships at Karapiro, Don Rowlands, was bid patron.

Lake Karapiro has yet to be con-fi rmed for 2010, but after being an-nounced last Thursday by FISA as the preferred venue, it is considered a formality that the decision will be ratifi ed at the World Rowing Con-gress on August 28 in London.

As to the reasons why the FISA pendulum swung the Rowing NZ way, executive director Matt Smith explained: “We have a lot of confi -dence in the administration of Row-ing New Zealand and have had for a long time. We were particularly im-pressed with their ability to gather the resources, Government and (lo-cal) authorities together, which were a big plus for this bid.”

Waipa District has won praise for its willingness to provide support for the bid.

Waipa’s monetary support in-cludes planned upgrades to roading and other infrastructure

The Council already had a $5 Mil-lion Lake Karapiro Management Plan in its 10-year Plan and commit-ted an extra $300,000 for provision of grandstand seating for spectator viewing.

This seating is portable and can be used at events at other venues in the district.

The management plan is aimed at catering for the public on the whole Karapiro Domain and includes road-ing, toilets, walkways etc.

Waipa also helped to host the FISA delegates when they visited the re-gion to check out the venue and sup-porting facilities.

Waipa Mayor Alan Livingston rated the successful bid as one of the highlights of his fi ve year Mayoralty.

“It is fantastic to have another world championship event at Ka-rapiro, following on from the World Waka Ama Championships in March and World Hydroplane Champion-ships.

“Karapiro is certainly establishing itself on the international scene.”

Mr Livingston says the fact Coun-cil was well advanced in the regula-tory and consultation processes for upgrades at Karapiro was an impor-tant aspect of the bid.

Still on the high of winning four world championships in 2005, row-ing has a profi le of success that is not enjoyed by any other Olympic sport in New Zealand, and Thursday’s an-nouncement looks to continue this fi ne record.

The relationship with Sky TV will be important as it ensures coverage and exposure of rowing to the gen-eral sporting public, in the buildup to the Worlds

There will be hundreds of row-ers from an estimated 50 countries participating and more than 7000 visitors are expected.

Overall benefi t to the New Zealand economy from hosting the World Championships has been estimated at $100 Million.

There is $1.1 Million budgeted for gate takings, which caused raised eyebrows at FISA as attendance at such regattas in Europe is relatively low.

However, the worlds in Japan at-tracted a total gate of 100,000 and 30,000 fans on the fi nal day.

Ticket prices are expected to be set at $110 for the fi nal.

YOUR LETTERS

Having worked in the health system under both Labour and National, I fi nd it unlikely that either party has a plan to seriously address the issue of hospi-tal waiting lists.

I don’t actually blame them, I blame us.

Shane Ardern receives regular calls from constituents who are understand-ably upset about waiting lists.

I wonder how many calls he receives from constituents offering to help with the solution. After all, the solution isn’t complicated - in order to reduce wait-ing lists all we need to do is put up the money.

If we want hospitals to work properly, we must be prepared to pay.

Through many election campaigns I have heard candidates promise to improve the health system by “cutting bureaucratic waste” and other implau-sible strategies.

Unfortunately the fi nances required to fi x our health system are on a differ-ent scale, well beyond the cost of a few management salaries and boardroom lunches.

I don’t pretend to understand the Government’s current operating sur-plus but I doubt whether the answer can be found there. Any genuine long-

term solution is going to hurt us in the pockets.

If we really want to eliminate waiting lists, here’s what I suggest:

Before the next election, write to all local candidates and say “Rather than expecting you to offer me a tax cut, I would like to offer to pay 1% more in taxes on the understanding that this money will go towards reducing hospi-tal waiting lists.”

The responsibility for our health system lies with ourselves. If we aren’t prepared to accept that, and pay for it, we can’t really blame anyone else.

Powerless against natureWild weather that

played havoc with power and communi-cation services across the country did not leave Te Awamutu un-scathed yesterday.

Power was cut for 2000 consumers in the western area of town from 10.11 am-11.04am, after gale force winds caused a large section of a tree in a reserve to come down on power lines in Roche Street.

Police, Te Awamutu Volunteer Fire Brigade and Waipa Networks personnel attended the incident - with police also controlling traffi c at the railway crossing on Alexandra Street.

Auckland fared far worse, with power lost in the city after a wire snapped and fell across one of the city’s two main power lines.

SMASHING: The fallen tree limbs felled a power pole and blocked Roche Street yesterday morning, near Freeman Court Rest Home. 164062AD


Cock-a-hoop with new clubhouseBy Colin Thorsen

The opening of a magnifi cent purpose built clubhouse in Victoria Park on Thursday capped a stellar past four years for Te Awamutu Croquet Club.

“It’s amazing how things have panned out,” says elated club president Keith Brawn.

Two years ago it was agreed to begin fund rais-ing to build our own club house.

That same year (2004) the club was also a buzz with excitement after cleaning up all four grades at the Waikato-King Country Association cham-pion of champions playoffs for the second time in eight years.

Cath Erskine, dual life member of Te Awamutu club and Waikato King Country Association, says club members were ‘over the moon’.

“Never in our wildest dreams did we ever think our small country club (42 members) would emu-late the feat of 1995-96, less than a decade later.

“It was a wonderful achievement and club-mates of the four champions (Clive Tucker, Dawn Taylor, Keith Brawn, Doug Scott) are very proud of them.”

Last year Heather Richardson continued Te Awamutu Croquet Club’s proud record in the na-tion-wide Arthur Ross handicap competition.

The talented B grader, with only fi ve years playing experience, made the New Zealand fi nal in Wellington. She followed in the footsteps of the likes of Alf Polglase, Alec Taylor and Clive Tucker making the national fi nal.

Tucker went all the way in 2002, becoming na-tional champion.

“The club now has a up market facility befi tting of our champion players,” says Mr Brawn

“The necessary funding has been reached and, with the assistance of Waipa District Council, we now have our dream home.”

How times have changed.Though croquet had been played at a number of

private homes, usually at house party gatherings, for many years, it was not until 1911 that a club was formed in Te Awamutu.

It became possible after the Puniu Domain Board developed a croquet lawn at Victoria Park.

The meeting to form the club was convened by A. G. Warburton, managing editor of the Waipa Post (now the Courier) on September 22, 1911, in the library which was then in Alexandra Street next to the old Post Offi ce.

With William Taylor (of Greenhill) as patron, Dr Reekie as president and coach, and Miss Stewart as secretary-treasurer, the club became a sport-orientated social asset to the town.

A croquet set was borrowed for the fi rst prac-tise on the new lawn on October 11 and the start of 95 years of continuous club his-tory.

Club funds were aug-mented by card par-ties, musical evenings, stalls and concerts.

In 1913 an ‘art un-ion’ was run by Mr W. F. Stewart to build the fi rst clubhouse costing 78 pounds. Co-opera-tion with the Bowling Club has always been outstanding.

In 1911 and 1912 their lawns and pavil-ion were shared - and the assistance of the Bowling Club’s green-keepers in croquet lawn maintenance was much appreciated.

By way of recipro-cation bowlers were invited to the weekly croquet club afternoon teas.

In 1933 the original pavilion was superced-ed by a little hutch-like pavilion, fronted with wire netting doors.

A verandah was built around three sides of the pavilion, new lawns were laid, ponga pergolas erected and rose gardens planted.

The old pavilion grew weary and dan-gerous. In 1979 the old school dental clinic was shifted from Bank Street by the Borough Council to its present site in Victoria Park at a cost of $5000.

With additions and embelishments, it was turned into a comfort-able clubhouse with space for displaying cups, trophies, shields and honours boards for the past 26 years.

Te Awamutu Croquet Club build-ing committee convenor Jean Pat-terson says the completion of the new clubhouse was the best birthday present she could have wished for.

Waipa Mayor Alan Livingston gave up an invitation to attend the offi cial announcement of Rowing NZ’s suc-cessful bid to host the 2010 World Rowing Championships to attend the croquet function on Thursday.

“This is an equally important event on the local scene,” he com-mented when offi cially opening the new facility.

Mayor Livingston, while reluctant

to single out any one person, said an exception had to be made in fundraiser extraorinaire Jean Pat-terson.

“Jean has prepared, presented, persisted, pushed and, very impor-tantly, produced from numerous funding avenues.”

Mayor Livingston said Jean car-ried out her fundraising mission thoroughly, genuinely and with conviction.

“The outcome is a huge credit to her and a fantastic result for the club.”

Continued on page 10.

NEW LIFER: Building convenor and long serving member Jean Patterson became Te Awamutu Croquet Club’s fi fth life member at the offi cial opening of the new clubhouse in Victoria Park last Thursday.

CLUB PATRON Dorothy Hollay has the honour of cutting the ribbon to open the new croquet pavilion, assisted by club president Keith Brawn and Mayor Alan Livingston.

Merle’s still on the ballafter 40 years service

Te Awamutu Netball recently honoured Merle Wyllie, recog-nising the enormous amount of work she has put into the sport locally over the past 40 years.

Mrs Wyllie has held the position of presi-dent, draw steward, umpires’ coach and examiner, ran the can-teen for 16 years and was treasurer for 14 years.

She recently ‘retired’ after 40 years continu-ous service on the net-ball committee.

Mrs Wyllie also be-gan midweek netball for mothers, which at its height had around 20 teams playing and ran regular tourna-ments.

For years she also attended monthly meetings in Hamilton where the surrounding centres were known as the Waikato subs.

She received the Waikato service medal and was made a life member of the Waipa Netball Association in 1982.

Mrs Wyllie began her interest in Te Awamutu netball when her daughter began to play on Saturdays.

She rarely got to watch her sons play rugby after that as she began umpiring and coaching as well.

For several years she ran umpiring classes at Intermediate and College level.

In the early days of the netball centre the primary aged teams played in the morn-ing and were run by a separate committee.

The seniors played in the afternoon and representative teams were all from the older age groups.

She well remembers feeding calves very early on cold mornings, so she could travel with rep players to other centres around the country.

Over the years she

has seen the build-ing of the pavilion in 1982, the number of courts extended from six to eight, the addi-tion of player’s rooms and carpark, change of name from Waipa Net-ball Association to the Te Awamutu Netball Centre and the ‘rise and fall’ of the River-lands association.

Mrs Wyllie says an-other change which refl ects society today is that people running the centre are mostly working all week, so they don’t have so much spare time and weekends are precious.

She enjoys the pre-

mier netball which is now played at the events centre on Thurs-day nights and there is now a paid manager of the netball canteen - but that doesn’t mean you won’t see Mrs Wyl-lie at the courts.

She is back again helping out in the can-teen.

Mrs Wyllie says she enjoys the contact with players and their families - and hopes to be around for a good while yet.

In recognition of her efforts she was presented with a large wood-framed mirror and a topiary tree.

NETBALL stalwart Merle Wyllie takes a short break from serving in the canteen to chat with Pekerau Stormers player Tiria Heta about her Player of the Day trophy. 164065AD

With an extra week to complete applications businesses are reminded they are eligible to enter a maximum of three categories and each category requires a separate application, as dif-ferent judges will be involved.

Application forms for this year’s awards are available from Te Awamutu Chamber of Com-merce (phone 871 3259) and Cambridge Cham-ber of Commerce.

The awards presentation, dinner and dance will be held at Trust Waikato Te Awamutu Events Centre on Friday, July 14.

Courier correctionsIn an article about Barbara Wheadon’s Queen’s

Birthday honour for services to basketball last week, the word netball was incorrectly substi-tured for basketball in one paragraph.

Gremlins got into the weather report, which should have shown most districts with below zero low temperatures and between 13-34mm of rain.


Wonderful opportunity By Cathy Asplin

Te Awamutu rower Graham Oberlin-Brown (right) is due to compete on the world stage next month, when he rows in the Under-23 Champion-ships in Belgium.

So news that the 2010 World Rowing Champi-onships will be held at Lake Karapiro, where he trains most days, has come as a huge boost for his future aspirations.

“It’s great news that the World Champs will be staged at Lake Karapiro and a realistic goal for me to work towards - in fact it’s a great opportu-nity for all rowers to aim for.”

It’s been just over four years since Graham be-gan as a novice at the Te Awamutu Rowing Club, so he believes young rowers who are prepared to put the work in can seriously look to the 2010 World Championships.

While he has made a meteoric rise from nov-ice to New Zealand representative, he says he couldn’t have done it without help from family, friends, rowing personnel and sponsors.

He has had valuable support from Te Awamutu Rowing, longterm sponsors Veterinary Enterpris-es and more recently a huge fi nancial boost from the Cornerstone Trust.

He says mentoring received from former coach Clive Steenson has also been invaluable.

“Many of my supporters haven’t been able to see me race internationally and won’t be there in Belgium this year either, so it’s neat to think there’s a possibility of them watching me race in the World Champs on Lake Karapiro.”

Mr Steenson was towards the end of his own rowing career when the World Championships were last staged at Lake Karapiro.

He was one of the many volunteers who helped prepare the site before the event and kept it run-ning during the championships.

He well remembers the crowds and huge inter-est in the 1978 event that has been labelled one of the best ever World Rowing Championships.

“There were massive crowds and massive traf-fi c jams. The cars were banked up right along the straights leading to Karapiro.

“Parking is certainly going to be an issue in 2010. They will probably need to have parking further away and then bus people in.”

He too believes the 2010 event is a wonderful chance for young, local rowers.

“The opportunity’s there for the taking.”Te Awamutu Rowing Club president Richard

Gray says the announcement of Lake Karapiro as the preferred site for 2010 is wonderful news for the Waikato.

“It certainly builds on the recent success by

New Zealanders at the world championships and will again lift the profi le of rowing in New Zea-land. There are likely to be many benefi ts - it’s certainly great for our area.”

He says locally it is up to the Te Awamutu Rowing Club to build on the public support and ensure that rowing remains strong.

Mr Gray believes there may be a number of op-portunities for the club and the town to benefi t from the championships.

“For the club, however, many of the possibilities, including any chance of hosting international rowers, relies on the state of Lake Ngaroto. It will need some further improvements before it could even be considered as a training venue.”

FROM schoolboy rower to representing New Zealand in just four years, Graham Oberlin-Brown says local rowers should have plenty of incentive to work hard over the next four years, with the World Championships being held on our back doorstep (Lake Karapiro, above) in 2010.

Long trip worthwhile for new residents

This is the fi nal article in our immi-grants series, supplied by Te Awamutu Bible Chapel in conjunction with their Immigrants’ Service on June 4, about Tony and Tracey Hale from England and daughters Tanish and Molly:

“We have been in New Zealand for nearly seven months, having left the UK on Novem-ber 16, 2005. We lived in a village called Wool-avington in the county of Somerset which is in the West Country,” Tony Hale says.

“Why did we leave the UK? This is the most common ques-tion and there is not one single reason. We both had good jobs, liked where we lived, enjoyed the village life and had no big family disputes.

“It all started after a game of rugby and a chat with a good friend moving to New Zea-land. I said “don’t be so ridiculous” but on Mon-day was in the library to fi nd out where New Zealand was and what language its inhabit-ants spoke.

“The more I found out about the climate, housing and jobs the more I considered the prospect of living in New Zealand.

“To cut a long story short, I received a job offer from Hamilton City Council and it all

suddenly seemed very real.

“Tracey and I came to the Waikato in June 2005 spending two weeks in a campervan visiting towns, villages, schools and real estate offi ces.

“It took a while for us to agree that maybe our life could be differ-ent, that we could have a fresh start and let our children experience life in another part of the world.

“I also saw here val-ues and a way of life that once existed in the UK, but seems to have disappeared.

“After making the move one of the most

diffi cult processes has been ‘making new friends’, whether in school or at work, it is not easy, although I am convinced it is easier to do so here than back in the UK.

“In fact, we have found Kiwis friendly to the point of suspicion,” Mr Hale says.

“We have been in-vited to people’s houses who we have only known for 15 minutes, but we have found this openness has really helped us settle into a new way of life.

“Other differences we have observed include: calling football ‘soccer’ and rugby ‘football’,

having someone fi ll up your car at the petrol station, remembering to empty the mail box, being on the beach at Christmas, parking your car the same way as the traffi c fl ow and getting sunburn on a cloudy day at Raglan.

“We are on a journey as a family and obvi-ously miss our friends and family back home, but we are stronger and closer as a result of our experiences over the last seven months.

“We have come a long way in a short space of time - 11,387 miles as the crow fl ies.”

For the last 13 years Stephen Clark has got up at 6.30am to do his job on the Gracelands’ Green Team, undertaking the Council’s litter management contract in the centre of Te Awamutu and Kihikihi.

His main job was to push the large wheelie bin along the main street empty-ing the contents of the green litter bins into it.

He is reliable - never taking a sick day, and dependable - never deviating from his task at hand.

The job has suited him perfectly as it involves the same routine each day and he could do it well. This is to come to an end at the end of June.

Mr Clark, along with colleague Sharyn Fleming, who has had the same job for nearly as long, and the fi ve other clients of Gracelands, are to lose these jobs.

Waipa District Council put the contract out for tender, as it had done in the previ-ous nine years, but this time Gracelands was not successful.

Gracelands understands that it was close in relation to price, but the content of the tender document did not stack up against other tenderers - for whom such work is their core business.

A Christchurch fi rm has won the ten-der.

Waipa District Council has committed to fi nding other work that this group of people can do.

People of Te Awamutu have come to val-ue seeing this group of workers out there early each day, making their contribution to the community.

Based on regular feedback from Coun-cil personnel, they have mainly done an excellent job under the guidance of sup-port worker Malcolm Aspden, who will continue to work for Gracelands as will the weekend staff.

STEPHEN CLARK has become a familiar face in Te Awamutu central business district through his role with Gracelands’ Green Team. Photo supplied.

Champion four part harmony chorus the Waikato Rivertones are to be invited to sing in a world championship in Texas next year after achieving fourth in world rankings for mid-sized choruses.

The group of 53 women, who come from all over the Waikato and Bay of Plenty, came third overall in the national competi-tions in Christchurch recently behind the much larger Christch-urch City and Greater Auckland choruses, won gold in their mid-sized section and a trophy for Most Improved Chorus.

Their score of 612 has earned the singers the international title of Master Chorus and their musical director, Barbara Smith Master Director status.

Because of their high score, they now rank fourth in the world amongst Sweet Adelines International mid-sized chorus-es, and will be invited to compete in the Harmony Classic competi-tion to be held in San Antonio, Texas in July next year.

It is the fi rst time a mid-sized New Zealand chorus has scored highly enough to be invited to the competition, which is part of

an intensive week of music edu-cation classes for harmony sing-ers from throughout the world.

Master Director Barbara Smith said the chorus were delighted with their perform-ance in Christchurch and the standing ovation they received from the packed house. They had worked hard to achieve Master Chorus status and to fi nd they

now ranked so highly in world terms was a bonus.

“Our chorus members often come long distances every Mon-day night to rehearse in Hamil-ton and we have had a number of weekend coaching sessions from national and international coaches. We have worked very hard for this.”

Achieving a 600+ score put the group on the international map – but there would have to be some major fundraising done over the next year to ensure the singers could get to Texas.

Christchurch City scored an outstanding 666 at the national championship, ranking it fourth in the world overall and in the same category as major per-formers such as North Metro from Canada and San Diego. Christchurch will compete in the world championships in Calgary, Canada next year, and second placed Greater Auckland is also likely to compete as a ‘wild card’ invitation chorus.

The Waikato Rivertones won the national competitions in 2001 and represented New Zea-land at the world championships in Nashville, Tennessee in 2002.

From page 3.“Today marks a very impor-

tant milestone in the 95 year history of the the club,” Mayor Livingston told the gathering of 65 members and invited guests.

“It is a great cause for cel-ebration as you now have the ideal clubhouse to take the club and croquet forward for many years to come.”

Not surprisingly, in recent years members have raised the topic of having better clu-brooms.

Obviously improvements to what was already an old build-ing of doubtful durability were quickly discounted.

Thoughts then turned to a new clubrooms and discus-sions took place with Council.

The prospect of of the three sports on Victoria Park unit-ing to build one facility and to reduce overheads was sug-gested.

The Croquet Club was a

strong supporter of the con-cept, Sport Waikato provided expert advice, but for various reasons it did not come to fruition.

Five years ago, the club turned back to plans for a new clubhouse (pavilion) and a building committee was formed.

“Building was the easy part. It was the fundraising that posed the biggest challenge,” said Mr Livingston.

And a signifi cant challenge it was - a low profi le sport, a club with only 30 odd members and $200,000 to fi nd.

While the club raised a ‘tidy nest egg’, the Mayor took the opportunity to convey his sincere appreciation to those funding organisations who have made this project a real-ity.

The Caversham Trust came to the party with $100,000, New Zealand Community Trust $20,000, Trust Waikato

$17,000, Pub Charities $10,000 and Te Awamutu Community Board $8,500.

“All in all, it has been a great team effort.”

He thanked Livingstone Builders and their subcon-tractors, and architect Russell Easton for their contributions.

“As local businesses, they have gone that extra mile and provided support in numerous ways.”

Mayor Livingston said Council is pleased to be in-volved with the project and, whilst it assumes ownership responsibility of the building, it is the club’s in every other respect.

Removal of the old building (in September) will enable extension of the playing area to accomodate three full size lawns, helping attract larger tournaments.

Mayor Livingston said he was sure membership would increase, with the club being

so proactive with incentives such as golf croquet.

Sport Waikato CEO Mat-thew Cooper congratulated the club on the wonderful new facility.

Cooper said he was a great believer in heart and soul and he could see that in the people in attendance at the function.

He liked the iniative of intro-ducing golf croquet to attract younger players and to make the club sustainable.

Nancy Rawlings congratu-lated the club on behalf of of Waikato King Country Cro-quet Association.

Club stalwart member Alex Taylor said he never thought he would see the day when Te Awamutu had its own purpose built croquet pavilion.

“We had to put up with one toilet inside the old building for so long, now we’ve got a men’s and ladies’ toilet, a lounge, kitchen, offi ce, manag-er’s room and storeroom.”

Bridge Club busy The past few weeks have been a busy time for

members of Te Awamutu Bridge Club.Bunny Cox and partner Marieanne Quin took

fi rst place North/South in the morning session at Cambridge Bridge Club’s Junior Tournament.

The Monday night teams’ event saw a close fi nish with Alison Stockwell, Lesley French, John Ruddell and Barbara Chancellor taking top honours.

Bridge lessons for this year have fi nished with six new members joining the club. They have started playing at club level.

Membership of the club now spans 80 years with the oldest approaching 94 and the youngest at 14.

The Westpac Waikato Air Ambulance had a busy time on Sunday.

The Air Ambulance responded to an ambu-lance callout at Kawhia just after lunchtime.

A woman in her 70s had suffered a back injury as a result of a motor vehicle accident and was fl own, under the care of St John paramedics, to Waikato Hospital.

While the rescue helicopter was busy responding to the mo-tor vehicle accident on Waikato’s western coastline, another call came in - this time from the eastern side of the Waikato.

One of the cars com-peting in the Targa Rally event went off the road at high speed, crashed into a tree, and rolled approximately 15 metres into a deep gully.

The accident took place between Karapiro and Matamata, close to where The Shire location of Lord of the Rings was fi lmed.

The driver man-aged to walk back up to the road, where he was transported by ambulance to Waikato Hospital.

The co-driver, a sev-enteen-year-old Auck-land man, suffered con-cussion and possible spinal injuries.

He was treated by St John paramedics and fl own by helicopter to Waikato Hospital.

ST JOHN paramedics prepare a woman injured in a motor vehicle crash at Kawhia for transportation to Waikato Hospital by helicopter.

LORD OF THE RINGS’ territory was the scene of this motor vehicle crash involving one of the Targa Rally cars. Photos supplied.

Ohaupo looked in ominously good form dis-patching F.B.I. 15-2 in the subsidiary darts round.

The one-sided scoreline was somewhat sur-prising considering F.B.I. had a six win, two loss record going into their round nine clash.

But on the night, the unbeaten Ohaupo team were far too good.

Tama Reuben and Huka Brown threw perfect scores of 180, Brown also chimed in with a 170 fi nish and Derek Price managed a 160 start.

The match between the only other unbeaten team in the competition, Warriors, and Rebels has been deferred.

Judy Botting (Stranglers) and Gary Strong (Nomads) threw 180s helping their teams to wins over Nomads II, 11-6, and Joy’s Riff Raff, 15-2, respectively.

Arrows stayed in touch with the competition leaders by chalking up their seventh win in eight matches beating Pirongia Hotel 16-1.

RSA dealt to Marist I 15-2.There was no result from the match between

Marist II and Waikeria.The host team must hand the result sheet into

Robbie Hoyes by 10am Thursday.

TA duathletes raid Auckland champsThree rising stars put the newly-

formed Te Awamutu Sports Tria-thlon Club on the map at Auck-land secondary schools’ duathlon championships.

Emma Petersen lived up to her red hot favouritism winning the under-16 girls’ race at the idyllic Maraetai Beach.

In doing so, the St Peter’s School student not only defended the title she won last season but completed the 2006 Auckland triathlon/duathlon double.

The city girls will be pleased to see Petersen move up into the sen-ior ranks next season.

Being in the middle of prepara-tion for a cycling competition in Australia next month, the New Zealand U17 representative was short of running and found herself mid-fi eld after the fi rst 3.5km run leg.

The 15km cycle leg was much more to her liking. She decimated the fi eld, working her way into a 1m 48s lead with a 2.5km run to the line.

Always a strong runner off the bike, she coasted home for a com-

fortable victory. Sian Walker and Nicole Treweek

- representing Waikato Diocesan and Cambridge High School re-spectively – also stepped up a notch from previous performances, demonstrating how competitive this small Te Awamutu Sports Triathlon group has become in a few weeks.

The duo lined up in the under-19 girls’ race, competing against world No 1 Rebecca Spence from Rangitoto College.

No one has come close to beat-ing Spence in a secondary schools’ event in the past fi ve years. She has consistently shown herself to be the world’s top athlete in her age group.

Errol Newlands of Waikato Cy-cling Sports Academy says Spence is a freak.

“No other athlete, male or fe-male, has dominated triathlon and duathlon in New Zealand like Spence has.”

Such is her talent, she will repre-sent NZ at the world duathlon, cy-cling and triathlon championships all within the space of fi ve weeks

later this year.Walker and Treweek signalled,

early in the race, that if they could not beat Spence then they were go-ing to minimise the loss to her and upstage every other Aucklander in the fi eld.

By the end of the fi rst 5km run the battle for second and third had Walker comfortably leading Treweek.

Treweek closed the gap to just a few seconds after the 20km bike before Walker kicked hard on the fi nal 2.5km run to hold onto second place.

She fi nished 1m 50s ahead of third placed Treweek.

The fourth placed Aucklander was a further 3m 10s off the pace.

Walker (NZ junior elite team) and Treweek (NZ 18-19 age group team) will be joining Spence at the duathlon world championships in Canada on June 30.

Spence will be favoured to win another world title, while perform-ances of a similar nature from the Te Awamutu duo will see them competing for top 10 placings in their respective races.

Ohaupo team throw down darts gauntlet

Jane does indoor bowls club proud

Indoor bowls is in full swing at all the clubs within Te Awamutu Association.

The Hairini club is in particularly good heart af-ter Jeffery Jane took out the champion of champion singles last season.

The former Taranaki farmer broke through for his fi rst sub centre title with a 13-5 win over Wharepapa South’s Graeme Comins.

Comins could not have wished for a better start to the fi nal, scoring four on the fi rst of the sched-uled 12 ends.

But it was all one-way traffi c thereafter - Jane outscoring his opponent 13-1 on the next nine ends.

Faced with no chance of victory, Comins conceded defeat with two ends to play.

In the semi-fi nals, Jane beat Kihikihi’s Jim Roigard 13-3, while Commins pipped Waipa Work-ingmen’s Club’s Ian Hancock 8-7 with a single on the last end.

Hancock and Barbara Ryburn took out the cham-pion of champion pairs.

The Waipa WMC pairing beat Mangapiko’s John Ellis and Jessie Young 16-9 in the fi nal.

They trailed 8-6 after eight ends, then stormed home scoring 10 shots on the last four ends, includ-ing a fi ve on end nine and four on end 11.

It was Hancock’s fourth sub centre title and Ry-burn’s second.

Robert Raynel chalked up his 15th sub centre title to earn his second gold bar skipping his Waipa WMC team to victory in the champion of champion triples.

Raynel, with Arthur Pitcher at three and Max Wright lead, beat Te Awamutu’s Fred Boothby, Betty Herbert and Jill Rentoul 12-6 in the fi nal.

The champion of champion rinks was won by Waipa WMC line-up of Robert Raynel, Marion Hartnell, Max Wright and Terry Bramsen. They beat Wharepapa’s Graeme Comins, Colin Hall, Margaret Bouma and Robyn Weenick 13-3 in the fi nal.


Sports U19s move into semi-fi nal contention

By Colin ThorsenTe Awamutu Sports

under-19 rugby team made the most of their ‘day in the sun’ on Albert Park No 1 on Saturday.

The Wayne Wirihana coached side produced a sublime second half performance to beat Hamilton Marist 27-6 in the curtainraiser to Te Awamutu Sports Senior A’s promotion-relegation round match against Raglan.

In doing so, Te Awamutu Sports un-der-19’s have moved into the top four in this hotly contested age group competition, pos-sibly at the expense of Hamilton Marist.

Having defended mightily to restrict the opposition to 6-0 (two penalties) at halftime, Te Awamutu Sports scored 27 unanswered points, including four tries, in the fi nal 40 minutes.

A couple of forward substitutions proved just the injection the local side needed.

It not only stabilised the scrum, but resulted in a steady stream of lineout ball from out-standing lock Kaylam Singh, who has reigned supreme all season jumping at No 2.

The backs, starved of possession in the fi rst half, produced some scintilating running be-fi tting a curtainraiser on Albert Park No 1.

The fi rst of a brace of tries to pacey winger Ryan Patterson was a gem.

Slick passing and running onto the ball at pace by his insides, gave him space to show his wares. He ran around his opposite number, then beat the Marist fullback with a wonderful in-out body swerve before he ran around to score handy to the posts.

First fi ve Hamish Forsman then inter-cepted a Marist pass on his own 22 and showed a good turn of pace to beat a handful of chas-ers to score between the posts.

It was fi tting that promising No 8 Chris O’Byrne got his name on the scoresheet after turning in another strong game. He has a presence about him - maybe a young Steven Bates in the making.

The diminutive No 7 Brent Palmer contin-ues to box above his weight, both on attack and defence. He is also turning into a valuable goalkicker, landing a penalty and conversion.

Replacement winger Wirimu Brown also landed a conversion.

The under-19’s have another diffi cult as-signment this Saturday against unbeaten com-petition leaders Fraser Tech at Stan Heather Park, 1pm.

Tech have had only a handful of points scored against them all season.

Te Awamutu Sports are building momen-tum nicely towards the business end of the sea-son, having won fi ve of their last seven games.

Sports end Raglan run

A reunion celebration is being organised to mark the 50th an-niversary of the Waikato’s fi rst international rugby victory.

Fifty years ago, a courageous Waikato rugby team beat the Springboks 14-10 at Rugby Park in Hamilton.

It was an incredible victory with the Mooloo men having to play two thirds of the match with only 14 players.

Waikato’s Jack Bullock suf-fered a broken jaw late in the fi rst half of the match and the

rules of the day did not allow replacements.

The 1956 victory was the fi rst of 15 international rugby scalps the Waikato team have secured over the years.

Waikato Rugby Union Mar-keting Manager Pat Mellsop says the 1956 victory is a sig-nifi cant part of Waikato rugby history.

“Tradition and history are the foundations to Waikato Rugby.

“The ‘56 team showed true Mooloo might when they beat

the Springboks.”Mellsop says their efforts in

this match started a proud his-tory of international victories for Waikato.

“It is important to recognise, remember and celebrate these great moments in our rugby history.”

The reunion will be held in conjunction with Waikato’s fi rst home Air New Zealand Cup fi xture this season at Waikato Stadium on August 11.

Reunion for famous Waikato 1956 team

Ecolab Te Awamutu Sports overcame a spirited challenge from newly promoted Raglan, winning their premier grade promotion-relegation rugby clash 32-17.

Peter Bain reports that the home team looked headed for a comfortable win leading 11-0 at halft-ime at Albert Park on Saturday.

But Raglan showed just why they went into the game with an unbeaten record.

They showed admirable character to fi ghtback, at one stage closing to within one point before Te Awamutu Sports’ greater experience and pace out wide got them home comfortably in the closing stages.

After a strong start from the visitors, Sports were sparked into life by fi rst fi ve Waylon Tangohau.

He landed a penalty, then produced an outstand-ing solo try by attacking down the blindside and dancing his way around the defenders.

A further penalty gave Sports their 11 point halftime buffer.

From the restart, a couple of mistakes had the home team under pressure leading to a try in the corner to Raglan from a fi ve metre scrum.

They added the extra points.Sports’ reply was immediate with fullback Jordan

Craig scoring handy to the posts after Raglan were caught short and outpaced on the right fl ank.

Raglan then enjoyed their best period of the match.

With their forwards getting stuck into their work, they added a penalty and a converted try to close to 18-17.

Sports’ experience then told, with their forward pack holding onto the ball to draw in defenders before releasing it to the backs.

With holes appearing out wide in the defence, Sports scored a further two tries to hooker Frankie Bourke and winger Artemus Mudaliar.

Tangohau converted both tries. He was Sports’ best in a good allround display.

Props Adam Dowhy and Paul Faapo also had strong games, while blindside fl anker Mike Van

der Hulst worked hard all day in his debut run on game for Sports after being call on as a late replacement.

Sports travel to Tokoroa to take on Southern United this Saturday. The players are hoping for as many supporters as possible to help celebrate Heath Barclay’s 100th premier game for the club.

Te Awamutu teenager stars in Fame

Fame, the musical, opens at St Peter’s School on Saturday (June 17) and will showcase the dance, vocal, musical and act-ing talent of St Peter’s students.

One of the stars of the show will be Nathan Munn from Te Awamutu, who takes the role of Nick Piazza, a young actor in the Fame School of Per-forming Arts.

This role has devel-

oped his obvious talent further, following his stunning portrayal of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde in 2005.

Under the direction of David Sidwell and Musical Direction of Victoria Brown (band) and David Hall (vocal), this show promises to be highly entertaining.

The cast of 45 stu-dents, and at least as many behind the scenes, have worked hard over the last few

months to create the magic that some of you may remember from the hit television series ‘Fame’.

For further enquiries or bookings for Fame, The Musical (June 17 - 22) contact St Peter’s School.

They may all speak differ-ent languages on a daily basis, but when it comes to music Julia Formadek from Germany, Nichiha Kobashi from Japan and Gabrielle Peake from New Zealand all read from the same page.

The three Te Awamutu College students have teamed up to cre-ate a trio for the New Zealand Community Trust Chamber Music Contest 2006.

Interestingly they have chosen yet another language - French - to name their group, which was inspired by the piece they are playing.

Les Trois Papillons (the three butterfl ies) will be playing a piece entitled Les Deux Papil-lons (the two butterfl ies).

Te Awamutu College has a second entry in the chamber music competition - Garfunkel - comprised of Catherine Peake (piano) Erin Saywell (fl ute) and

Kerry Ireland (fl ute). They will be playing a Martinu sonata.

Gabrielle Peake is also play-ing piano for an interschool trio, with Yotam Levy (from Hillcrest High) on cello and Chloe Schnell (Rotorua) playing fl ute.

The students will be up against some tough competition - this year’s contest has attracted a record number of entries from the Hamilton region.

Local students will feature in the Hamilton contest which will be held this afternoon (Tuesday, June 13) at the WEL Academy of Performing Arts, Waikato Uni-versity.

The Hamilton contest will be judged by Owen Clarke, the Director of Music for the Royal New Zealand Airforce and con-ductor of the Central Band of the RNZAF.

Clarke has conducted profes-sional, amateur, tertiary and youth level orchestras including

the NZ Secondary Schools’ Sym-phony Orchestra.

Contest organiser Megan Man-nering says the contest provides an opportunity for students to work together as a unit to get the best sound they can, which is quite different from performing as an individual.

The New Zealand Community Trust Chamber Music Contest is New Zealand’s only national chamber music competition for young musicians and composers.

This year ten budding com-posers will be stepping-up to compete in the contest’s Origi-nal Composition section which allows young people to enter an original work suitable for a chamber music ensemble.

The winner of the Original Composition section will receive a SOUNZ prize of $500 and have their piece performed at the national fi nal alongside the competing groups.
