The public of Te Awamutu is invited to at-tend a combined mass at St Patrick’s Catho-lic Church tomorrow to pay respects to Pope John Paul II.

The service, which will also be attended by St Patrick’s School children, will take place from 9.15am and all are welcome to attend, says father Vincent Jones of St Patrick’s.

The Pope passed away in his Vatican apartment at 7.37am Sunday morning, as local churchgoers were preparing for Sunday morning services.

A larger than normal gathering at St Patrick’s participated in a mass offered for the repose of Pope John Paul II’s soul.

Father Jones told the Courier that the Pope’s death signifi ed the passing of a great man, who had been devoted to the Catholic Church and whose 26 year papacy was the third longest in history.

“He did more to upset the communists reign than anyone else in the 20th Century.”

Father Jones said that although the Pope’s death was to be expected (after a long period of frailty and failing health), it was still an emotional time.

Wednesday morning’s mass in Te Awamutu will be led by Father Maurice Drumm, as Father Jones will be in Wellington, for the in-stallation of father John Dew as the new Arch Bishop of Wellington on Thursday.

The installation will be conducted by the College of Bishops, with Cardinal Thomas

Williams, who would normally perform the service, on his way to Rome to assist in the choosing of the next Pope.

PATH TO PONTIFICATEA brief bio of the path to Rome of His Holi-

ness Pope John Paul II:Karol Jozef Wojtyla was born on May 18,

1920 in Wadowice, Poland, second son of a re-tired army sergeant and a mother of Lithua-nian origin.

At the age of 18 he moved to Krakow, where he entered the Jagellonian University.

The following year the Nazis closed the university, and to escape death or deportation the students merged with the population, be-coming labourers.

In 1942 - having lost all immediate family, Karol commenced secret studies for priest-hood during the Nazi occupation.

On November 1, 1946 Father Karol Jozef Wojtyla was ordained into the Roman Catho-lic priesthood after years of secret study dur-ing the Nazi occupation.

In 1946 after being ordained in Krakow, he later completed studies at pontifi cal universi-ties in Rome and then returned to Poland.

In 1958 he was consecrated assistant Bishop of Krakow.

He was named Archbishop of Krakow in 1964.

On June 26, 1967 he was created a Cardi-nal by Pope Paul VI.

On October 16, 1978 Pope John Paul II was elected the fi rst non-Italian Pope in 455 years.

His Pontifi cate began offi cially six days later.

Marking passing of great man

POPE JOHN PAUL II

Carpooling the wayFrom Monday Hamilton City Council is encouraging out-of-

town commuters to carpool by rewarding travel buddies with cinema passes, free breakfasts and other goodies.

The City Council understands many people chose to work in the city, but for lifestyle reasons chose to live in a rural area, or one of the nearby towns and villages.

They ask how many people who drive into the city each day join up with others to form a carpool, and if not, why not?

Carpooling arrangements can be convenient, fun and fl exible.

Even just one or two days a week can make all the difference to your wallet and congestion on the roads, and may be a much more manageable arrangement than a daily commitment.

First fashionable in the oil-shock 70’s, carpooling is again being recognised as a social and practical way to reduce congestion on the roads and save money, especially in this age of escalating petrol prices.

Council says if you have ever been caught in the traffi c on Cobham Bridge, waited at the lights on Te Aroha Street or had diffi culty getting through the Cambridge Street roundabout on your way home, be warned - traffi c volumes in Hamilton are rising. They say there is a simple solution - when you team up with someone else, that is one less car on the road.

As easy and benefi cial as it sounds, statistics in 2001 show that an average of 75% of people travel alone in their cars to work in Hamilton from areas such as Te Awamutu, Raglan, Ngaruawahia, Morrinsville and Cambridge.

The persistence of the sole occupancy tradition is surprising. Depending on where you are coming from, driving to work could be costing you between $20-$70 in petrol a week.

The costs of driving also include parking which in the Hamilton CBD can cost between $4 and $9 daily. Council says free parks on suburban streets surrounding the CBD are gradually being rezoned which will make fi nding a carpark more and more diffi cult.

I noted in a recent item, the self congratulatory tone of the District Council in restricting its rates rise to almost 6%, twice the rate of in-fl ation.

Reference was also made, not for the fi rst time, to the Consumer Magazine naming the council among the top local authorities in New Zealand.

However, it failed to mention that this ranking came at the cost of one of the highest rating levies in the country.

Referring to the Word On Waipa, my rates look set to rise by about $100! Where am I going to fi nd this sum along with every other rising price?

I will concede that on the whole Council does an adequate job, but at a cost and added to that cost are

the costs of follies. Why were the toilet facilities by the Rose Gar-dens wantonly destroyed?

What was the cost of land pur-chased opposite the Events Cen-tre? How much funding is to be lavished on the development of Selwyn Park? How much support is being given to Maungatautari project and the multitude of other conservatory projects in the area?

Has the new library facility been aborted?

I hope that the slash and burn policy evidenced along Pioneer Walk is applied in next year’s budget and we can be told of a real achievement of nil increase in rates, Consumer Magazine might then warrant a special edition.

Rates rise too highYOUR LETTERS

“The extra 5.6 cents per litre petrol rise on April Fool’s Day was appropriate timing for this Labour Government,” says Taranaki-King Country MP, Shane Ardern.

“They are treating us like fools when they tell us that this will mean extra money for roading,” he says.

When $230 million dollars last year was unspent by Transfund and taken back into the Consolidated Fund by the Government, all this latest increase means is that the Government adds to

their surplus.Mr Ardern says National intends to

spend all tax collected from the roads on improving roads.

“We deserve better and safe roads and this is what will happen. We will increase the funds available for roading above what is currently planned by $100 mil-lion in the fi rst year and thereafter by a further $100 million per year so that by the end of our second term all of the roughly $600 million that is currently col-lected in petrol tax but used for purposes

other than roading is spent on developing and maintaining our road network.

“We will nearly double the amount actually available for the construction of new roads over nine years.”

Mr Ardern says this extra funding, together with the removal of the unneces-sarily restrictive provisions in legislation such as the Resource Mangement Act, will enable the bulldozers to start imme-diately on urgently needed major roading projects.

“It’s simple, effective and will work.”

Extra tax highway robbery: MP

Toilet block news warmly welcomed ‘Delighted’ is the reaction of Te

Awamutu Community Public Rela-tions Committee to the announce-ment that the toilet block to be built in Gorst Avenue has a high priority according to Waipa District Council.

In thanking the public for their support in signing the petition, Public Relations chair, Katherine O’Regan, said that committee mem-bers were pleased that Council had

‘seen sense’. “Now the Council have to follow that decision with action.“

“We shall continue to press them as we have since the old toilet block was demolished, until we see the foundations being laid for this new facility. Overall it has been a long haul but the decision is a victory for commonsense. I just hope passersby don’t have to ‘wait’ too long,” she concluded.

PAGE 3Te Awamutu Courier, Tuesday, April 5, 2005

By Dean TaylorKihikihi residents

and Council offi cials recently recognised the centenary of Kihikihi Town Hall, a facility with an interesting his-tory.

But this was the town’s second hall, and a story from the early days of the original hall makes for an interest-ing tale.

The tale involves arguably the world’s fi rst internationally re-nowned athlete, Donald Dinnie, who was also probably the world’s fi rst professional ath-lete.

The current hall is the town’s second, and was opened in Decem-ber 1904.

It replaced the origi-nal hall built in 1881 on the same site.

The land had been donated by Mr T. An-derson, owner of the Kihikihi Hotel.

Originally the Gov-ernment granted land (now the Jean Gatton Reserve) for a hall and library, but it was deemed unsuitable.

A company was formed with 300 shares of 30 shillings ($3) and on December 30, 1881 a ball was held to of-fi cially open the Town Hall.

Supper was laid out

in tents erected outside and according to history the 150 guests danced until after 4am.

That hall, plus school and cemetery, were destroyed by fi re in the early hours of May 16,

1903.Kihikihi Town Board

wasted little time in accepting the offer of a temporary offi ce and in deciding to raise a loan to build a new hall.

A special meeting was held in May, 1904 to call for tenders, and the low-est of one Mr Rickit for £556.00 ($1112.00) was accepted in June.

Both halls were obvi-ously the hub of en-tertainment and town business for Kihikihi for many years.

One item missing in the early days was a piano, a scarce instru-ment at the time. When a piano was needed for a concert it was gener-ally hired off the Alpha Hotel and moved be-tween locations.

Dinnie was born in 1837 and died in 1916.

He was a legend of the Highland games, winning his last title at the age of 76. Dinnie in-vented the ‘around the head’ hammer throwing style still in use today.

He turned profession-al in his late 20s and also toured Australia,

New Zealand, America and South Africa to both compete and give strongman displays.

As well as competing in the heavy events of Highland Games, he was also an all-rounder, taking on all-comers at their favourite sports, including wrestling and weightlifting.

His troupe performed at the original Kihikihi

Town Hall during his 1884 Australasian tour.

It was reported as not being a very highly remunerative event, so the following day, refus-ing to pay the 5 shilling (50c) cartage to return the piano, Dinnie car-ried it on his back with his troupe assisting him to balance it.

Apart from the feat of strength, this was also remarkable because Dinnie was compara-tively wealthy. In his career he won 11,000 titles and £26,000 in prizemoney (about $4,000,000 by today’s standards) plus re-ceived income from his private shows.

The event which ce-mented his place in his-tory occurred when he was still a teenager.

Dinnie was assisting his father to repair the Potarch Bridge over the River Dee.

Dinnie displayed su-perhuman strength by carrying two huge boul-ders totalling 357kg over the bridge.

The ‘Dinnie Steens’ are now legendary, and no-one has equalled the feat without the aid of a harness.

The full life story of this remarkable man is recorded in the book ‘Donald Dinnie - The First Sporting Super-star’ by David Webster.

Oil landscapes on show

COREY and Chantelle van de Steeg with two of their nana Flo’s paintings which they have chosen as favourites from the current exhibition. Photo supplied

Experienced artist Flo van de Steeg is currently exhibit-ing in the Burchell Pavilion, Te Awamutu Visitor Information Centre.

She has been an artist for 35 years, working in oils because she enjoys the depth and clarity in her fi nished work.

Mrs van de Steeg fi rst exhib-ited in the 1972 Waikato Brew-eries Arts Awards, where she

was one of 12 artists from 132 to sell a work.

She enjoys the beauty of na-ture and all its elements, and for the current exhibition has chosen to portray the natural colours and tranquillity of na-ture.

The collection includes scenes from Coromandel, Waihi Beach and further afi eld.

Mrs van de Steeg also en-

joys sharing her art with her grandchildren, and she spends many happy hours with her grandchildren sharing her knowledge, paints and brushes and encouraging the young ones to paint, be creative and develop their own styles.

The public is asked to contact the Visitor Information centre (ph 871 3259) for exhibition viewing times.

Weaving magic at GnetLOCAL EXHIBITIONS

WEAVERS Mere Macalister (left) and Letitia Waerea with some of the items they have on display in the Gnet Cafe. Work by Rob Kear and Kahuwhariki Joseph is also included in the exhibition. 095055AD

Letitia Waerea and Mere Ma-calister are two of the weavers featured in the April exhibition at the Gnet Cafe.

Mrs Waerea is from Hamilton and has studied at the polytech-nic, learning Whatu Korawai and other skills.

“This has been a very spirit-ual journey for me as a weaver, mother, wife, grandmother and daughter. It has made me a bet-ter person mentally, physically and spiritually.”

She includes her own thoughts into her work and uses contemporary materials for her designs, which include cloaks and wearable arts.

Mrs Macalister is from Kawhia and attended a hui at Maketu Marae, which in-spired her to learn the art of harekeke.

She says it has become a great part of her life, recently passing a NZQA certifi cate in raranga and currently working on a diploma.

She fi nds weaving very relax-ing and looks forward to weav-ing after a week working in Hamilton. Finished items carry the name of ‘Kawaroa’ Crafts, the name of their farm.

PAGE 6 Te Awamutu Courier, Tuesday, April 5, 2005

Kawhia rider Gina Rothery is on her way to Canada in June as part of the New Zealand Under 21 In-ter-Pacifi c equestrian team.

The 20-year-old has been a member of Kawhia Branch of the Otorohanga Districts Pony Club for 14 years, and has been head instructor for the past two and a half.

She has had tremen-dous support from her branch, which is very proud of her achieve-ments - these have in-

cluded being awarded a National Young Achiev-ers Award in 2004 (for her riding prowess).

Gina was chosen at an area selection to be one of two Waikato riders to go to the fi -nal New Zealand team selection earlier this year.

The national selec-tion took place over a weekend at Nga Tawa school and two candi-dates from each area of New Zealand attended, trialling for the fi ve team places.

The selection in-volved both interview and riding segments. The riding portion involved riding three different horses around a challenging and tech-nical show-jumping course, in front of two national instructors and one of New Zea-land’s top event riders.

Gina shone in this area, having clear rounds on all her mounts.

The interview was conducted by a New Zealand Pony Club vice-president, presi-dent of the Equine Industry Training Organisation, and a former headmaster.

They asked a range of questions from opin-ions on current politi-cal and world affairs, to personal interests, in order to gauge the suit-ability of each youth as an ambassador for New Zealand.

Gina was thrilled to be announced in the team. She will join two other young women and two young men,

from Bay of Plenty, Manawatu, Southland and Waitemata, to form the New Zealand team competing in Canada.

They head off in June to compete on borrowed mounts against teams from Hong Kong, Ja-pan, Canada, Australia and the USA.

Competitions take place in Toronto and Calgary, during which the team will get the opportunity to witness the Calgary Stampede.

Another highlight will be the stop over en route in Los Angeles where the team will

visit Disneyland.Gina starred at the

recent Awaroa Sports day, collecting seven trophies in the open horse ring.

Apart from polish-ing her riding skills, she has been busy fundraising the $2,500 needed for the trip.

Gina and younger sister Kelsey were named on Sunday in the Waikato team for the New Zealand Pony Club champs in Palmerston North later this month, for which the pair are also fundraising.

PAGE 8 Te Awamutu Courier, Tuesday, April 5, 2005

A number of Te Awamutu people and business owners contributed their time and expertise towards making this year’s MS Great New Zealand Horse Trek a success.

Two years ago the group suffered the devastating loss of 14 of their horses through an unfortunate stampede.

Undeterred they decided to reform, change their name, form an incorporated society, develop health and safety poli-cies and develop other safety plans for the large numbers of horses and riders that take part in the event.

The Great NZ Trail Ride (Inc) is dedi-

cated to raising funds for service user organisations such as Multiple Sclerosis, and this year chose the Rotorua MS So-ciety as recipient.

This year’s event attracted 138 riders, including Century 21 realtor Kaye Crom-bie, and was run by 40 volunteers, plus hired caterers, and was based each night with a picturesque view of Rotorua.

Local sponsors Wilksbrooke Motors provided a 4WD quad bike for the event to assist with the safety plan.

It was deemed the quickest and most effi cient means of assisting riders who

may sustain an injury while riding through rugged terrain and bush.

The bike proved its worth when one rider fractured a hip when her horse slipped and rolled onto her.

The bike was used to get equipment to the injured rider, who was eventually airlifted to Rotorua Hospital.

Organisers said the bike was so valu-able they plan to raise funds to buy a bike for the future.

Anyone interested in being involved in the organisation of this iconic New Zealand event can check the groups www.GNZTR.org.nz website.

There’s just the rest of today left to get nomina-tions in the mail for peo-ple or groups they think deserve to win an award for their environmental achievements.

The Green Ribbon Awards are run by the Ministry for the Envi-ronment each year to celebrate people mak-ing a difference for the environment. Winners will be announced at a ceremony at Parliament on Thursday, June 9 by Environment Minister Marian Hobbs.

The Minister wants to hear about individuals, organisations and busi-

nesses taking action to improve the environ-ment.

Categories are:● urban sustainabil-

ity (particularly practi-cal action to improve the environment in our towns and cities);

● rural sustainability (efforts to sustainably manage land or main-tain healthy waterways and lakes, especially by those working in the ag-riculture, horticulture, and forestry sectors, and by community care groups);

● sustainable busi-ness (efforts in reducing business impacts on the environment, such as reducing emissions, waste and energy use, implementing environ-mental management systems, environmental

reporting, and encour-aging other businesses to adopt good prac-tices);

● young people mak-ing a difference (young people who show per-sonal commitment to improving our environ-ment);

● caring for our water - fresh and sea water (effi cient water use, ac-tions to improve water quality, and projects that protect and con-serve water);

● community action for the environment (an individual or group who have shown com-mitment in empowering the community to im-prove the environment).

Titans tip off in Te AwamutuNational Basketball League action returns to

Te Awamutu this Friday night when the Waikato Titans host Harbour Heat at the Te Awamutu Events Centre on Friday, with tip-off at 7.30pm.

After beating the Otago Nuggets on Sunday, the Titans have won three in a row and moved up to second in the NBL standings.

Harbour Heat have won two from three, losing to the Titans last week by 16.

The Titans have two outstanding USA imports who are both averaging 20 points per game.

Greg Lewis is a tremendous athlete and will treat the crowd to some spectacular dunks.

Kantrail Horton is highly rated both here and at home and has been invited to a couple of NBA camps when he returns from New Zealand.

The team also has the services of Sydney Kings point guard Luke Martin - rated as possibly the quickest player in Australia.

New Zealand’s top player Pero Cameron is also back on court for the Titans and looking the fi ttest he has been for sometime.

Tickets are available at the door. Right: TE AWAMUTU basketball fans will be hoping for more three point action from a fully fit Pero Cameron such as this effort in one of last year’s matches at Trust Waikato Te Awamutu Events Centre. File photo

Dry start to year continues

Te Awamutu weather watcher Paul Hobbs reports another dry month for the area in March.

Although the 80mm of rainfall was enough to put a green tinge back into the grass, it was still drier than average for the third month of the year.

New secure storage complex opens doors

Shifting house and need to store some furniture for a while?

Perhaps you are heading off on your OE and don’t want to sell everything?

Maybe you have a vehicle that needs garaging?

Safe ‘n’ Sound Storage has all the solutions.

The fi rst units of the new com-plex on Bruce Berquist Drive are now ready for use.

The fi rst group of units have been completed - all 10 units are 6m x 3m with 3m high stud at front.

Each are leakproof, with secu-rity lighting and security cam-eras covering the area.

Pest control measures are also in place.

The next group of units to be built will have a variety of sizes to cater for larger or different

shaped requirements.Local couple Spencer and

Maryanne Brockbank have owned the piece of land on Bruce Berquist Drive for the past two years and had considered a number of options for it.

“But we felt the groups of units provided good use of the land and would help the growing demand for storage.

“As properties become smaller or people’s needs change they of-ten fi nd they don’t have enough space for all of their possessions.

“Businesses also fi nd the stor-age units valuable for keeping excess stock, while cars and boats can be left on the yard if the owner requires a secure parking spot.”

The units and parking spaces can be for as short or as long as the owner likes.

One of the units on site acts as

an offi ce and utility building for the owners, who live locally.

Contact can be made via phone for further details or enquiries (ph 871 2171 or 0274 407 101).

No fuss by busInterCity Coachlines has been

quick to point out its commit-ment to rural areas following the announcement of the axing of several train stops, including Te Awamutu.

“We are committed to servic-ing as many rural and regional communities as we can.

“With the wirthdrawal or reduction of other services between Auckland and Wel-lington, and some rural centres in between , InterCity will meet resultant passenger demand.”

SAFE ‘N’ SOUND STORAGE owners, Te Awamutu couple Maryanne and Spencer Brockbank (with their son David), look across the yard of the Bruce Berquist Drive complex. 0950510AD

ACC assists with child car seat programme

Strong demand has prompted ACC to expand a low-rental child car seat scheme targeting low income families that was launched last year with Plunket Car Seat Rental Schemes.

ACC Programme Manager Heidi Shewan said the scheme had proved very effective since it began in July last year with 1000 seats, and so ACC was going to fund an extra 1000 seats. In just three months last year, all the ACC funded seats allocated to four low income areas, where there had been low rates of child restraint wearing, were rented.

The seats are available to parents and caregivers with chil-dren under four at a reduced rental and bond. Community service cardholders and people referred by other agencies such as the Police are among those considered for the prefer-ential rental arrangements.

Recipients also get training on the correct installation and use of a child restraint. ACC also provides support for parents/ caregivers receiving ThinkSafe restraints to install anchor bolts into their vehicles if required.

“Research has found that properly used child restraints and safety belts reduce the risk of death in a vehicle crash by 71% and injury by 67%,” Ms Shewan said.

“Injured children may have to live with the consequences for the rest of their lives, with all the associated social, emo-tional and fi nancial costs”

Under New Zealand law, it is the driver’s responsibility to ensure that all children are restrained in the appropriate child restraint or a safety belt.

The scheme is one of three ACC partnerships that help parents get the right car restraints for their children.

ACC also funds Safe2Go, a partnership with LTSA, which trains car seat installation technicians.

Trust Waikato’s donation round opens with an additional $500,000 to give to Waikato community groups, bringing the total donation budget to $7.5 million for 2005.

Board chairman Hori Awa cites stronger fi nancial markets and prudent management as the main reasons for the substantial increase in donation funding.

“This is good news for the Waikato community sector, and heartening to know that Trust Waikato can offer more support to groups as they endeavour to meet a myriad of community needs,” he says.

Top priority for funding this year will be groups dealing with the underly-

ing causes of social problems; a total of $1million has been earmarked for this purpose. Trust Waikato is particularly interested in programmes and projects that support families, protect children and improve community resources.

Maori, Pacifi c Island and other ethnic groups throughout the Waikato will also form a major focus for Trust funds in 2005 says Chief Executive, Ken Gordon.

“We are keen to ensure that Trust Waikato money reaches those sectors which are both vulnerable and also expe-rience disadvantage.”

Other priorities for 2005 include youth participation within communities, pres-ervation of Waikato history, programmes that improve safety and reduce peoples’

exposure to harm, applications from South Waikato, Otorohanga and Waikato districts, and encouraging sporting activ-ities among Maori, women, Pacifi c People and other ethnic groups.

The fi nal priority for 2005 is Improved Effectiveness in areas such as manage-ment training, research, co-operation and resource sharing.

Trust Waikato distributed a total of $7 million to 844 community groups throughout the Waikato in 2004.

Groups can access an application form by contacting the Trust on 07 838 2660 or 0800 436 628, or from public libraries, lo-cal councils and offi ces of Sport Waikato throughout the greater Waikato. Appli-cations close on Friday 13th May 2005.

Vincent among best shots in Australasia

By Colin ThorsenSteve Vincent up-

staged an international class fi eld of 240 shoot-ers to win the points score title at the New Zealand DTL national clay target champion-ships.

The 43-year-old Pirongia Gun Club stalwart beat off his fel-low countrymen, along with competitors from Australia, Scotland and Norfolk Island.

He shot 50/50 for the possible 75 points to be one of 11 qualifi ers, then nailed another 40 fi rst barrels to take the title at the Waikato Gun Club.

The Australians fared poorly with only one qualifying. Those to miss out included a shooter with seven New Zealand titles to his credit.

Vincent’s win se-cured him selection in the New Zealand Mackintosh team for the postal shoot against other countries in the Commonwealth - Australia, Scotland, Ireland, England, Zim-babwe, South Africa, Wales and Canada.

He maintained his extraordinary form in the postal shoot, re-cording 297/300 with 99 fi rst barrels and one miss.

The results of the postal shoot will not be known for up to three months.

Vincent is hoping that the sequence of New Zealand winning the Mackintosh the last two times the team has competed at Waikato Gun Club (2001, 2003) continues.

It is the seventh time the Pirongia shooter

has made the 25-strong national team.

He takes nothing for granted, always wear-ing the silver fern with pride and dignity.

“The buzz I get now from wearing the silver fern is just as big as the day I was fi rst made the Mackintosh team in 1985,” says Vincent.

Four years ago, al-most to the day, he

broke through for his fi rst national title - heading off an inter-national class fi eld of 310 shooters to claim the New Zealand single barrel title at Waikato Gun Club.

His previous best ef-forts at national level were runner-up in both the sparrow champion-ship of 1989 and the ball trap event of 1999.

International equestrian action returns to the Kihikihi Domain this weekend with the Mitavite Horse Trial.

The event is to feature the New Zealand Quali-fi er for the FEI Eventing World Cup - a linked series of 17 competitions held throughout the world, culminating each year in a fi nal in Eu-rope.

A number of New Zealand based international riders have returned from competitions in the northern hemisphere and are entered in the World Cup class.

Matthew Grayling, who competed at the Ol-ympics, is again a strong contender with two entries, Klinsman and Gordon.

Grayling won the inaugural FEI Eventing World Cup Qualifi er at Kihikihi.

He went on to fi nish eighth at the fi nal in France.

Other competitors back from the northern hemisphere include Megan Finlayson on Lion Heart, Kate Wood on Staccato, Tim Price on Sugoi and Kate Hewlett on Striking Distance.

The ever competitive former international Andrew Scott has entered on Clifton Mitavite X Factor.

These competitors are likely to be pushed

hard by other New Zealand based combinations, like highly talented local rider Chelsey Hawthorn on Look at That.

This combination has featured in the winner’s circle each event this season and are currently at the top of the Ideal Garages New Zealand Event-ing Leader Board.

The dressage will be held at the picturesque Ngarakau polo grounds (Dick Street, Kihikihi).

The surface of this fi eld has been ranked “up there with the best in the world”.

Its springy surface allows freedom of move-ment for the horses - a fact that is well appreci-ated by both horses and riders.

Ford New Zealand and Fairview Motors Te Awamutu have combined forces to provide fi ve brand new Ford vehicles for the dressage judges to offi ciate in.

The World Cup dressage is scheduled to start at 2.00pm this Friday. The lower classes of com-petition start as early as 8.30 am.

Chief International dressage judge will be Jim Dunn from Adelaide.

The crosscountry will start at 9.30am on Sat-urday.

The World Cup combinations are expected to be on course at approximately 1.00pm.

World Cup competitors contest the fi nal phase in reverse order of placing.

Louise Deane from Newstalk ZB will be the compere for the World Cup prizegiving to take place shortly after the completion of the show-jumping fi nale.

ENTERTAINING EVENTThe show jumping fi nale on Sunday will fea-

ture ‘classic car picnics’ around the showjumping arena, offering a blend of jazz music, fi ne foods and wines in the company of classic cars.

St Peter’s School Jazz Band is to provide the music and local winemaker Garry Major of Mys-tery Creek Winery will provide chardonnay and sauvignon blanc.

Event organiser Trisha Waugh says the combi-nation of classic cars, gourmet picnics and jazz will help create the ambience required for an international event of this calibre.

Radio Station Newstalk ZB will broadcast their live early morning Sport Show from the Eques-trian Clubrooms at Kihikihi.

Television commentator Monica Johns will provide updates to the Murray Deaker show throughout the competition. The public are en-couraged to attend any stage of the event - entry is free.

International riders heading to Kihikihi event

Following on from his jump designs based on the various sporting codes at the Kihikihi Do-main for last year’s event, course designer John Nicholson has themed this year’s jumps for the World Cup course around the Tale of Christopher Robin, Pooh Bear and the 100 Acre Wood.

Nicholson says the idea of Pooh Bear and the 100 Acre Wood came to him purely by chance - he just happened to come across a bum-ble bees’ nest while working on a log to create seven new jumps.

“I’d had several sleepless nights trying to come up with a new theme until those bees came along.”

In one of the best kept secrets in Kihikihi, Nicholson is not just a good course designer, he’s also an exceptionally gifted chainsaw carver.

He’s been working overtime to sculpt the likes of Roo, Piglet, Tig-ger and Winnie the Pooh’s

house ready for this weekend’s Horse Trials.

Barry Pothan has helped by carving Pooh Bear.

The course is well designed, in-novative and imaginative.

The awards Nicholson recently received as Administrator of the Year for both Waipa District and Waikato Region at the 2004 Sports Awards is recognition of his talent.

Bumble bees give inspiration for course theme

HIGH FLYING locals Chelsey Hawthorn and Look At That increased their lead to 26 points on the New Zealand Eventing Leader Board with a fourth placing at the Central Districts Horse Trials. The two remaining trials are at Kihikihi this weekend and the three-day championships at Taupo next month. Photo supplied

NZ curling team pull off stunning victory

Lorne De Pape and his New Zealand team-mates have pulled off a sensational win in the opening round of the 2005 Ford World Championships in Victoria, Canada.

The Kiwis have beaten the current world champions Swe-den 8-5.

“We’re stoked, we couldn’t have dreamt of a better start to the championships,” says an ecstatic De Pape in an email to the Courier.

“We played a solid, controlled game. We grabbed a three early and had pretty good control of the game there after.”

New Zealand skipper Sean Becker made a great freeze shot

in the seventh end to head off a small Swedish rally.

He and his New Zealand team-mates then ran the Swedes out of shots to claim one of their most signifi cant victo-ries on record.

The Kiwis lost their second match in the 11 game round- robin phase of the tournament, going down 10-5 to pre-tourna-ment favourite Canada.

Canada’s Randby Ferbey team are four time Canadian champions.

De Pape says Canada came out all fi red-up after losing to Germany in round one.

“It was always going to be a tough game for us, and we

didn’t play as well as we did in the win over Sweden in the morning.

“We nonetheless fi nished day one having succeeded in reach-ing our objective of a split (one win, one draw) against the cur-rent champions Sweden and favourites from Canada.”

New Zealand’s next game is against Germany, the other giant-killers, who have beaten both Canada and Sweden.

De Pape reports that the top four countries at the end of the round-robin will qualify for the playoff phase of the tourna-ment.

THE IRRESISTIBLE FLAMES OF MASPORT.

Te Awamutu’s Leanne Baker has been named in the New Zealand women’s Fed Cup tennis team to contest the Asia-Oceania group one tournament in India.

The team also includes Marina Erakovic and the France-based Marama sisters, Paula and Eden.

Non-playing captain Pavlina Nola is realistic about her team’s chances this month.

“We have a really good opportunity to do well, how-ever it depends on what players each country brings,” Nola says.

“If they all have their top players it will be very tough.”

New Zealand lost in the semi-fi nal to Indonesia last year.

The tournament, on April 19-24 in New Delhi, fea-tures Australia, China, Chinese Taipei, India, Kaza-khstan, Korea, New Zealand and Singapore.

Langman captain for World Youth Cup

Netball New Zealand an-nounced today the NZU21 team to travel to Fort Lauderdale in July to compete in the World Youth Cup.

The team is unchanged from that which Coach Te Aroha Keenan took to Jamaica and the USA in February this year.

The NZU21’s returned from this tour having won six out of seven of their games, including one against current World Youth Cup holders Australia U21.

Once again, the team will be captained by NZU21 and Sil-ver Fern squad member Laura Langman, who last month gained three Silver Fern Test Caps in the Fisher & Paykel Series against England.

Te Aroha Keenan said that se-lection was made after viewing the performances of her squad over the past three months at squad camp, on tour and over Easter weekend at a pre-Na-tional Bank Cup tournament.

Keenan said she was pleased

with the progress of her young squad and expects the team to be highly competitive in July’s

event. “We’ve got some great com-

binations developing and with three and a half months until the World Youth Cup, we’re heading in the right direction. We’ve identifi ed what we need to work on and I know the team will work hard to succeed,” said Keenan.

The NZU21 team for the 2005 World Youth Cup is:

Liana Barrett-Chase (Flyers), Kat-rina Grant (Flames), Laura Langman (Captain) (Magic), Emma McGeorge (Rebels), Grace Rasmussen (Dia-monds), Rachel Rasmussen (Dia-monds), Anna Thompson (Flames), Maria Tutaia (Diamonds), Jessica Tuki (Flyers), Wendy Telfer (Sting), Te Huinga Reo Selby-Ricket (Flyers), Casey Williams (Magic).

The team will gather in Auck-land on July 5 to train before departing for Fort Lauderdale.

The World Youth Cup takes place between July 21 and 31.

Weal pace too hot By Colin Thorsen

Debbie Weal recorded her fi rst win in the Special K Women’s Triathlon series at only her third attempt at Karapiro.

The 39-year-old covered the 300m swim, 10km bike and 3km run in 47 minutes 04 seconds.

She was nearly three minutes faster than the second placed Michelle Stuart (23) of Warkworth, with Julie Peake (37) of Hamilton third in 50.30.

Weal has rapidly improved in all three disciplines each triathlon she has entered.

Her win at Karapiro follows a 27th placing at Hamilton last year and 17th this year at Hamilton late January.

Weal puts her big improvement down to a new bike (courtesy of an early birthday present from mum and dad) and being able to do freestyle on the swim leg.

Because of her inability to do freestyle the fi rst year she did Hamilton, she had to breaststroke all the way.

“I was left in the wake of the freestylers and wanted to do something about it,” she says.

She put the hard yards in at the Trust Waikato Te Awamutu Events Centre pool, tirelessly working on her stroke until reaching a stage that she felt confi dent of being able to complete 300m freestyle on race day.

Weal says the Special K Triathlons are fun events.“The manageable distance makes it possible for virtu-

ally anyone to enter.”Included among the 39 Te Awamutu competitors at

Karapiro were 61-year-old Eve Smith, Dianne Tautari (51) and Sharon Mitchell (50).

Other women from Te Awamutu to complete the Ka-rapiro triathlon (in alphabetical order): Tanja Allen, Jo Barclay, Tania Barra, Kim Cotter, Emma Ellis, Kaylie Flevill, Lynne Forsman, Sarah Harris, Jenny Hawkes, Ruth Henderson, Georgina Hodgson, Janet Hodgson, Tanya Hollobon, Heather Johnston, Cherie Dawn Kemp, Heather Kumm, Joanne Latham, Louise Foster, Steph MacPherson.

Lynne has last laughTe Awamutu’s Lynne

Forsman has found a new lease in life af-ter competing in the Special K Triathon at Karapiro.

Her story highlights the fact that it’s never too late to start exer-cising.

After having done no sport or exercise (ex-cept for the odd game of social indoor netball) since leaving school, the 48-year-old mother of four decided to have a crack at a Special K Triathlon.

“Mid life crisis I think,” she quipped.

She mentioned her intention to husband Steve and three sons, Andrew, Hamish and Cameron - all sporting fanatics.

Their reaction (a lot of laughing) was all the motivation she needed.

In a rags to riches fairytale, Forsman went from not even having a bike (husband Steve bought her one for her birthday) when she started training, to

fi nishing 238th out of 770 women in her fi rst ever triathlon.

She covered the 300m swim in 12m 04s, the 11km bike leg in 32.32 and the 3km run/walk in 24.08 for a total time of 1.08.44.

Highlight of the day

was beating her (nine years younger) sister-in-law Linda Forsman of Te Aroha, and having the whole family there to cheer her on, includ-ing her parents and 19 month old grandson.

“There wasn’t one winner out there today,

we were all winners,” says Forsman.

She enjoyed the day so much she can’t wait for Rotorua - the fi nal event in this year’s Special K Triathlon se-ries on April 10 - when teaming up with her sister-in-law and niece.

Sports serve up old fashioned hiding

Ecolab Te Awamutu Sports gained fi ve points from a confi dence building 43-5 win over Melville in Waikato pre-mier club rugby.

Having established a 12-0 lead at halftime, the visitors ran away with it in the second 40 at Melville’s Collins Road ground on Sat-urday.

Peter Bain reports that Sports started strongly, moving the ball from side to side until Melville were caught short of num-bers for Steve Scott to score the fi rst of his two tries.

Sports dominated much of the fi rst half playing the game at pace, trying to move the Melville pack around the fi eld, but failed a number of times to fi n-ish moves.

When newly-pro-moted Melville did gain possession, they sent Sports back deep into their 22 with a series of rolling mauls.

The Sports defence held, repelling several scor-ing attempts by Melville right on the goal line.

Back on attack, Sports once again moved Melville around, before Ray Stowe crashed the midfi eld to score close to the posts.

Fullback Kane Titchener’s fi rst of four conver-sions completed the fi rst half scoring.

The second half started the same as the fi rst with Sports attacking strongly.

Some fancy footwork from Waylon Tangahou saw him beat two defenders before fi nding Scott on his shoulder to score his second try handy to the posts.

This sparked Sports into action.Gaps appeared in the Melville defence, with

James Thompson making several penetrating runs on the right wing.

The Sports forward pack took control - front row-

ers Sam Biddles, Frank-ie Bourke and Nathan White dominating their opposites, with Bourke having a particularly fi ne game with ball in hand.

The pressure was too much for Melville, with Kane Osborne scoring out wide on the left wing, followed soon by a try to replacement fl anker Jarrad Hurrell for a 31-0 scoreline.

Replacement halfback Johnny Bird was next to score after Thompson popped a clever one- hander for him to fi nish off in the corner.

Sports’ fi nal try was a gem, spreading the ball from one side of the fi eld to the other to send replacement left winger Ryan Meacheam in at the corner.

Titchener converted from the sideline to cap a solid performance from fullback.

Melville had the fi nal say with a consolation try on fulltime.

Player of the day for Sports was the young, exciting No 8 Mike Mulhol-land.

He won numerous turnovers and kept his pack going forward with powerful, intelligent running from the scrum.

Steve Scott and Heath Barclay were other stand-outs in a tireless working pack.

Of the backs, Kerry Eynon and Ray Stowe were solid in midfi eld. They were adept at setting up many of Sports’ attacks out wide.

The team is indebted to the large number of Te Awamutu supporters, sponsors and Sports Force members who made the trek to Hamilton for the match.

Next match is the ‘Battle of Waipa’ against Hau-tapu at Albert Park this Saturday.

Get behind the team as they look to move up the leader board.

Newly-promoted Melville concede seven tries

Te Awamutu Courier and Tracs give readers the chance to celebrate Jack Johnson’s all but sold out New Zealand tour by winning a copy of his new CD ‘In Between Dreams’.

Johnson plays a sold out show in Auckland this Thursday. Wellington is also sold out, but their are tickets left for Christchurch h on Monday night.

Making waves with quiet songs for the better part of the last few years, Jack Johnson has become an undeniable - albeit reluctant - superstar.

Delivering his signature sound that fans around the world have grown to love over the past fi ve years, his live shows have become truly captivating affairs. 2005 sees him returning to New Zealand for his fi rst tour in two years, and bringing with him a swag of fresh songs in the form of a brand new album.

‘In Between Dreams’ is described as his most upbeat album yet, and is another hypnotic blend of Jack Johnson penned treasures.

Featuring the fi rst single ‘Sitting Waiting Wish-ing’ which is already blanketing the airwaves, the new songs will no doubt blend in seamlessly with classic Johnson tracks like ‘Flake’, ‘Inaudible Melo-dies’ and ‘Taylor’.

Returning with his constant touring com-panions, Adam Topol on drums and Merlo Podlewski on bass, these three extraordinary musicians promise to bring to life the songs from Johnson’s multi-platinum selling albums ‘Brushfi re Fairytales’, ‘On and On’, and his new release.

Opening act is a trio known as G.love & Spe-cial Sauce write songs about life and lemonade.

Johnson met fellow surfer Garrett Dutton (aka G Love) in the late nineties, and they recorded ‘Rodeo Clowns’ together for a G Love release.

Stringing the evening’s entertainment together will be 95BFM groovemeister and DJ Stinky Jim.

Spinning tunes be-tween sets he promises his usual impeccably selected choice cuts of dub and reggae plus “some new and mighty fi ne sounds from a mon-strous pile of fresh wax.

To be in to win sim-

ply put your name, address and daytime contact number on the back of a standard sized envelope, address it to the ‘Jack Johnson Competition’ and make sure it reaches our offi ce by 5pm Friday.
