Pinetree praises community spiritBY CATHY ASPLIN

TC011209CA01JOURNALIST James McOnie (left), trustee Christine Braun and rugby legend ColinMeads relax after combining their efforts for the Cornerstone Trust luncheon.

TC011209CA02GUESTS at The Redoubt table enjoy Sir Colin Meads and James McOnie.

Rugby legend Sir ColinMeads knows it can be hardto make a name for yourselffrom a small town.

‘‘You get bigger placespoaching your players and itcan be a struggle financially -but I congratulate the Cor-nerstone Trust on the assist-ance it is giving young TeAwamutu sportspeople.’’

Sir Colin was veryimpressed with the localcommunity spirit in helpingthe efforts of the CornerstoneSports Achievement Trustand his heartfelt commentwas one of the few seriousnotes amongst his interviewwith MC, journalist JamesMcOnie.

The pair bantered onstage about comments made(and later published) duringlate night drinking sessions,the test against France,rugby of old and the state ofthe game today.

McOnie was much like the

cheeky schoolboy - making awisecrack and backing off tosee what the reaction wasfrom his more experienced,more serious senior.

While they both had someclever comebacks it wasMeads that had the crowdroaring with his drycomments about rugby,sports and life in general.

Sir Colin says he enjoyedhis time in Te Awamutu,especially with the boys onThe Redoubt table, and hewas generous with his time,posing for photos and signingitems for future auctions.

McOnie was born in TeAwamutu and started theday’s proceedings looking atwhat made the town ‘fam-ous’.

While some comments areunprintable - he did look atsome of the people who havehad an impact on the areasuch as Brian Tamaki (andhis ‘density’ church), singerNeil Finn, former MPMarilyn Waring and former PM Helen Clarke. He likened areas of the

town during the 70’s-80’s toOnce Were Warriors andSurvivor, while wife-swapping, spa pools and local‘famous’ spots also gotmentions.

But underneath all theribbing he was pleased tomake a return to hishometown and happy to sup-port the cause.

His local knowledgemeant those in attendancewere happy to share a laughat the town’s expense withone of ‘their own’.

Trustee Christine Braunsays his humour and abilityto relate to Te Awamutumade him a hit with thecrowd.

‘‘James said he had afantastic day and would wearthe TA Sports shirt we gavehim with pride. Like Colin

Meads he also said he wouldlove to come back again.’’

In all 180 people attendedthe luncheon at Te AwamutuSports, with 13 of the year’s17 grant recipients in attend-ance.

An auction of memor-abilia and donated itemsraised $6125.

Top lots included outdoorfurniture ($1530) which waslater signed by Sir Colin, ashirt signed by rowers MaheDrysdale and Olaf Tufte($1000), boxing gloves signedby Sugar Ray Leonard ($750)and a signed Dick Johnsonracing shirt ($700). A raffledonated by Super Liquorraised a further $700.

Mrs Braun thanks every-one who supported the lunch-eon, including Kiwanis whohelped staff the event.

Do male drivers know where they’re going?Do male drivers have an aversion to

using the indicator in their vehicle.Sitting at a roundabout not one male

driver indicated, following them on dual

highways they also change lanes and asyou can guess once again no indicatorused. It’s enough to give one road rage.

It’s not how old they are — young and

old are the same. Perhaps they think wecan read their minds. No wonder men havemore accidents than women.

Global warming not a hoaxIs it true that Professor de Freitas gave

our Continuing Education Group massesof facts.

He failed to convince me that thescientists who contributed to four reportsof the Intergovernmental Panel on ClimateChange (IPCC) since 1990 duped the theworld with hidden agendas and manipu-lated science.

The IPCC’s conclusions are supportedin most countries by most major scientificbodies.

In Australia that includes the CSIRO,the Australian Academy of Science and the

Federation of Australian Scientific andTechnological Societies.

each of the four reports asserts withincreasing certainty that the globe iswarming (now 100% certain) sand thathuman driven greenhouse gas emissionsare largely to blame (now 90% certain).The next report is due 2014.

Professor Andy Pitman worries that thereports have to be extra cautious becausein the final stages all governments, includ-ing those with vested interests in fossilfuels like Saudi Arabia, have to approvewhat is written ‘line by line’.

But so far nothing has seriouslychallenged their analysis of an underlyingwarming trend and its connection tohuman generated CO2 emissions.

Of course we would find it morecomforting to believe they are mistaken, orthat it doesn’t concern us or we arepowerless anyway.

But most of us are happy to haveinsurance policies against fairly unlikelypersonal disasters, so why not supportinsurance against a 90% certain globaldisaster?

Crossing the line to collision

TC011209GJ01FIRE, Police and St John Ambulance personnel help the driver who had to be cut free out of his vehicle on Friday.

BY GRANT JOHNSTON

A head on collision in Pirongia onFriday morning underlined the dangersposed when vehicles cross the centreline,no matter when or where.

The accident happened around 11am ona beautiful, clear day in the 50km zone onBeechey Street (the main Te Awamutu-Pirongia road).

Fortunately neither driver was seri-ously injured, although the male driver ofthe car that was shunted off the side of theroad into the sloping road reserve had to becut free by Te Awamutu Fire Brigade.

Constable Peter Maher of Te AwamutuPolice had been unable to interview eitherdriver at the time that this issue went topress, but he had established that theMitsubishi Chariot heading west had

crossed the centreline into the path of theother vehicle which ended up off the side ofthe road.

The sole occupants of the vehicles weretheir male drivers.

The accident is still being investigated.The crash was attended by Pirongia

Fire Force, Te Awamutu Fire Brigade,Police and St John Ambulance and closedthe road for around half an hour.

Eddie says ‘Hi TA’

NEW ZEALAND HERALD PHOTOPEARL JAM frontman Eddie Vedder dedicated Elderly Woman Behind TheCounter In A Small Town to everyone in the crowd from a little town calledTe Awamutu.

BY DEAN TAYLOR

It was one of those moments youfind hard to believe happened — but itdid.

On Friday night my wife and I werestanding in a crowd of 32,000 Pearl Jamfans in Auckland and frontman EddieVedder announced ‘This next song isfor everyone from a little town calledTe Awamutu — and I know there are afew here.’

The introduction got a healthy cheerfrom around the stadium and then theband launched into Elderly WomanBehind The Counter In A Small Townfrom Pearl Jam’s second album Vs.

Of course it was a testament toVedder’s close relationship with the

Finn family.Liam Finn had opened the show and

as expected close friend Neil joinedVedder on stage.

Vedder told the crowd how as anaspiring musician he had written, butnever posted, a letter to Neil thankinghim for being inspirational.

He said he was lucky to have twouncle Neils — Young and Finn.

Vedder was a major contributor tothe success of the first of Neil Finn’sSeven Worlds charity projects.

The family connection continued,but in an unexpected way when a trio ofVedder, Liam and Neil played ChrisKnox’s Not Given Lightly as a tribute tothe iconic Kiwi musician who suffereda stroke this year.

Remembrance servicefor bereaved families

A remembrance service forbereaved families is being staged byTe Awamutu Funeral Services inconjunction with Hospice Waikato onDecember 7.

The service is being held in thelead-up to Christmas, recognising howacutely loss is felt at this time of year.

‘‘As the end of the year approacheswe tend to reflect on how the year hasbeen for us and any losses we have hadseem to come into sharper focus,’’ saysJanice Osborn, regional developmentmanager for Hospice Waikato.

‘‘This is particularly true for mem-bers of our community who have lostloved ones.’’

Hospice Waikato nurses, CarenBarnett and Dianne Oxenham work inpartnership with the District Nursesin Te Awamutu, supporting families

who are nursing their loved ones athome.

They both say that the holidays andfestive season can be a very difficulttime for the bereaved.

The non-denominational servicewill be held at 6.30pm at the AlexandraHouse Chapel, 570 Alexandra Street. Itwill involve reflection, poetry andmusic and is open to all bereavedpeople who may bring a photo ormemento of their loved one if theywish.

The service also offers an opportun-ity for professionals who have beeninvolved with dying people and theirfamilies to reflect and remember thespecial people they have worked with.

Everyone is welcome and will beinvited to stay and sharer some lightrefreshments following the service.

Tiny Mighty claims tosave customers $1MBY DEAN TAYLOR

In the battle for retail power cus-tomers, new player Tiny Mighty isclaiming Cambridge and Te AwamutuTrustPower customers are collec-tively paying at least $1 million morethan they need to for their electricityeach year.

‘‘Based on current prices, if the 6500or so TrustPower residential cus-tomers in Cambridge and Te Awa-mutu switched to Tiny Mighty Powerit would put more than a milliondollars in savings back into thepockets of those residents each year,’’says Tiny Mighty power managerToby Warren.

I can’t test their maths withoutmore information, but I can confirmtheir prices are cheaper thanTrustPower.

In fact usingwww.powerswitch.co.nz to compare(Tiny Mighty isn’t listed on thewebsite yet) there are a number ofcheaper options available to Waipa

power users.And to be fair to Tiny Mighty, they

say consumers don’t necessarily haveto use them to save money, acknow-ledging they are about the same priceas the other cheapest retailers.

I tested that claim using my latestMeridian account and found TinyMighty’s quote and those of twocompanies via Power Switch to bewithin a couple of dollars. They werealso cheaper than Meridian and con-siderably cheaper than TrustPower.

Tiny Mighty also dispute the valueof TrustPower’s contribution to thecommunity, saying it would only be afraction of the extra cost to consumers.

I also did a comparison on a low useaccount for an elderly user withTrustPower, comparing the last twomonths, and again found they wouldalso save money with Tiny Mighty, orany number of another providers.

Customers are also reminded thatpower rebates from Waipa Networksgo to all subscribers, no matter whothe retailer is.

Permit neededto light fire

Restrictions on lighting fires anywhere in theWaipa District begin today and will remain in placeuntil the end of March 2010, the only exceptionbeing if a permit is granted.

Permits are free to obtain, last for a maximum of7 days, and must be applied for at least two days inadvance to allow a site visit if necessary says RuralFire Officer Chuck Davis.

“If a fire must be lit, then a permit must beapplied for,’’ Mr Davis says.

‘‘If you don’t have one and something goeswrong, then you may be without insurance, andliable for the call out costs of the fire service whichcan be significant depending on the severity of thefire and what needs to be used to put it out.”

Te Awamutu and Cambridge along with Kara-piro, Kihikihi, Ngahinapouri, Ohaupo, Pirongia,Rukuhia, Tokanui and Te Pahu have permanentfire restrictions in place, but there are someexemptions for braziers and hangi.

“The introduction of our fire bylaw in 2007 addedthe smaller centres to ensure consistency and anequal level of safety across the district,’’ Mr Davissays.

‘‘ If a fire or smoke is creating a health nuisancethen Council has the power to extinguish it,although if it is threatening people or property, besure to call 111 immediately. Any other queries, callus.”

Applications for fire permits may be made ateither Council office. A viewable copy of the RuralFire Plan, and brochures on the Urban Fire Bylaware also available.

Magills men growmo’s to save bro’s

TC011209CA05/06SECRETARY of the Magills Moustache Club Vicki Semmens (centre) isproud of the efforts of her boys - even though one or two of them had toresort to some fake mo’s. Pictured (above from left) David Anderson,Graeme Hodges, Michael van Mierlo, Vaughan Cunningham, John van derHoeven from the Jacobs Street store and (below from left) Trung Quan,Graham Lankow, Corey van de Steeg, Warwick Flintoff, Gary Campbell, Mikevan der Hoeven, Vic Courtney, Stephen Derbyshire and Ben van der Hoevenfrom the factory.

BY CATHY ASPLIN

They’re hoping tochange the face of men’shealth - so they changedtheir own faces for amonth.

The boys at MagillsMeats have had varyingamounts of success whenit comes to growingmoustaches, but what-ever the result, their fam-ilies and customers havebeen proud of them.

By yesterday (the endof Movember) they hadcollected $677.20 to add tofunds raised around thecountry to show supportfor their ‘mo bros’.

Movember is anannual, month-long cele-bration of the moustache,highlighting men’shealth issues, specific-ally prostate cancer anddepression.

In New Zealand two

recipients receive fundsfrom the campaign.

Movember has recog-nised that 1 in 10 Kiwimen will experiencedepression in their life-time and the MentalHealth Foundation’s ‘Outof the Blue’ campaignprovides informationand support to these menand their families.

Mental Health Foun-dation CEO JudiClements says this is thesecond year the foun-dation has been involved.

‘‘Movember is a reallygreat way to both raiseawareness of depressionand create networks ofsupport among people.’’

Movember alsodirects funds raised tothe New Zealand CancerSociety.

Cancer Society CEODalton Kelly says theglorious thing about

Movember is people canaddress men’s healthissues.

He says a third of themoney raised will go intoresearch, a third will gointo the men’s healthchallenge and a thirdgoes into the productionof promotional materialto raise awareness.

With around 3500 mendiagnosed and 700 dyingfrom prostate cancerevery year, herecommends men getregular checks from 40years of age.

‘‘The earlier the inter-vention, the betterchance you have.’’

Movember is now inits fourth year in NewZealand and to date thecampaign has raisedmore than $NZ76 millionglobally for the fightagainst these two serioushealth challenges.

Ambulance officerscall for end to abuse

St John ambulanceofficers are making aplea to members of thepublic to put an end tothe verbal and some-times physical abuse thatoccurs when respondingto emergency calls.

The call comes afterambulance officersattending incidentsreport a rising trend inverbal abuse.

Regional OperationsManager Brent Nielsensays it is astonishing tothink that some membersof the public would showhostility towards thevery people that havecome to help them.

‘‘Not only is this typeof behaviour towardsambulance officers unac-ceptable, it can escalateto physical abuse andjeopardise the safety ofthe patient.”

“St John supportsambulance crews remov-ing themselves from thescene if they feel threat-ened,” says Mr Nielsen.

Mr Nielsen says thatSt John has a zero toler-ance policy toward ver-bal and physical assaultson staff.

“We take this issuevery seriously, andencourage our staff andvolunteers to report

assaults to the police andsupport them in doing so.People who abuse ambu-lance officers risk pros-ecution.

“Every effort is madeto ensure that St Johnstaff attending emer-gency incidents have up-to-date safety trainingand where necessary,coordination with otheremergency services.

‘‘For example, inemergency situationswhere violence is sus-pected or reported,ambulance officers arenot cleared to enter untilthe Police declare thescene safe,” he says.

Festival competitor Young Performer of YearAnnual competitions vital opportunity for performing arts aspirants

TC011209SP11VIOLINIST Hilary Hayes with fellow Leonari Trio performers, Maria Mo and Edward King.

Te Awamutu Performing ArtsSociety was delighted to see regularinstrumental section competitor,Hilary Hayes named winner of theMazda Foundation National YoungPerformer of the Year.

And the Leonari Trio of which sheis a member has just won the covetedRoyal Overseas League InternationalScholarship — heading off univers-ity combinations from throughoutthe country. The scholarship isworth $50,000 and will take them toEngland and Edinburgh for concertsand study opportunities.

The trio’s Waikato Universitytutor, Katherine Austin, says theopportunity to compete at Te Awa-mutu Competitions Festival and toperform at the recent Te AwamutuMusic Federation concert in theCouncil chambers provided vitalopportunities for the trio to performin public.

The trio, which also includesMaria Mo and Edward King, wasrunner-up in the Open ChamberEnsemble class at Te Awamutu Com-petitions.

Hilary Hayes’ selection asNational Young Performer of theYear is further proof of the value ofthese opportunities.

She was already nominated forthis award prior to Te AwamutuCompetitions so did not contest theaward class here.

From Te Awamutu’s Compe-titions Festival, the award nomineewas Olivia Francis of Cambridge.

Each year the Performing ArtsCompetitions Association of NewZealand (PACANZ) offers top per-formers throughout the country aged15-21 the chance to compete in thismulti-discipline award at nationallevel and this award is the pinnacleof achievement.

At 15 years Hilary is one of theyoungest to have achieved this pres-tigious award. She has been playing

the violin for nine years and iscurrently studying under Dr LaraHall at Waikato University.

She made her first concert debutat age 11 and has performed as asoloist and with chamber groupswinning many awards.

In 2010 she has been engaged toperform with the AucklandPhilharmonia Orchestra and plansto pursue a musical career.

Te Awamutu Performing ArtsSociety plays an integral part in thedevelopment of these young artiststhrough its annual CompetitionsFestival, held for the last 57 years.

This event has provided an oppor-tunity for performance, for competi-tors to test their skills against theirpeers, gain a critique from a profes-sional and extend their learning

through sharing experiences withothers.

Over the last few years the instru-mental section has expanded notonly in the numbers of competitors(over doubled since 2004), but alsothe range of students taking part,where they come from, and thevariety of instruments they play.

These students range frombeginners through to universitystudents who are studying towards acareer in music.

A large number of Waipa basedstudents participate as soloists andin the ensemble classes. Perform-ances are used to develop the com-petitors self confidence, provide afocus for their studies and as per-formances for qualifications e.g.NCEA.

‘‘We are grateful to the support ofthe Te Awamutu community, with-out it the Te Awamutu PerformingArts Festival would not be able totake place,’’ says spokesperson, GillKelly.

‘‘The instrumental section wouldespecially like to thank itinerantmusic teachers Stewart Stanbridgeand Barry Cullen for their dedicationand support. We would also like tothank all the class sponsors, and DrsLe Quesne and Heywood and theRotary Club of Te Awamutu whogenerously sponsor our two mostprestigious classes.’’

Paterangi power tocup soccer success

TC011209SP15TOP TEAM: Paterangi’s champion soccer team with the Fred Amess Cup.From left, back row: Troy van Dorsten, Alan Ball, Waikato Ball, MichaelSargent-Mens, Stacey Parish, Hohepa Periera. Front row: Haydee Anson,Samantha Sargent-Mens, Ryan Welton, Tamati Cunningham, JessicaSinclair.

Primary school soccer supremacyhas switched from St Patrick’s toPaterangi after they won the annualFred Amess tournament.

Paterangi School broke a three yearSt Patrick’s stranglehold as cupholders, but only just.

Not only was it the fourth year in arow that a St Patrick’s school teamcontested the final of the FA Cup, theyalso had two teams make the semi-finals.

St Patrick’s had looked the team tobeat again this year with such playerssuch as Seaton Mason, Liam Banks,Tatenda Mandava, Nathan Orangeand Bradley Eggelston in their line-up.

They lived up to that expectationwinning all four group stage games,including a 3-1 victory over eventualcompetition winners Paterangi.

But in the Cup final between StPatrick’s and Paterangi, the teamscould not be separated at fulltime withthe score locked at 1-1.

The final was decided on a penaltyshoot out, with Paterangi winning 5-4.

Paterangi relied heavily on theindividual brilliance of Waikato Ballto get them to the play off.

He scored a hat-trick of goals intheir 3-0 semi-final win over Arohena,showing the skills that has seen himchosen as one of only 30 players for aNew Zealand soccer developmentacademy in Auckland.

Other stand out players forPaterangi, besides Waikato Ball, wereTroy Van Dorsten, Allan Ball andcaptain for the day Michael Sargent-Mens.

The plate final between Puahue andWharepapa was also locked in a drawat fulltime, 2-2. The penalty shoot outsaw Puahue edge home the winners2-1.

Stand out players for the platewinning Puahue team were Ifor Jones,Connor Hodgson, Lukas Nordell andLuca Williams.

Ager bowls way to braceof titles at Pirongia

Judith Ager took outthe junior women’ssingles and pairs doubleat Pirongia Bowling Club.

Ager and daughter KatO’Connell won the pairswith their two lives stillintact.

She found life in thesingles a little tougher

after losing a life to SaraRefoy before prevailing.

Rob Goodhew reportsthat the junior men’ssingles was all ‘cut andthrust’ until LyallThomas emerged the win-ner.

The drawn pairs waswon by Peter Kewish and

Lindsay Cameron withthree wins and a drawover a quality field oflocal bowlers.

The veteran singles,contested by a disa-ppointingly small field,was won emphatically byCliff Strickett with threestraight wins.

TC011209CT01KIHIKIHI’S favourite son Andrew Nicholson admiring the pou acknowledging hisfantastic equestrian record in Te Awamutu’s Walk of Fame.

BY COLIN THORSEN

World class equestrian competitorAndrew Nicholson returned ‘home’ for thefirst time in six years last week.

His first port of call was Te Awamutu’sWalk of Fame in which he was one of the firstinductees.

‘‘I had been told it was happening but itwas not until I got back on Sunday and had alook that it sunk in,’’ Nicholson told theCourier.

‘‘I feel very honoured to be in suchesteemed company. I went around and readall the citations on each of the 18 stainlesssteel pou — Te Awamutu Walk of Famecommittee have done a great job honouringthe various achievements.’’

Nicholson, now based in Marlborough,Wiltshire (England), has just completedanother stellar year competing in the HSBCWorld Series — international events heldthroughout the world.

Although final standings have yet to beconfirmed for this year, Kihikihi’s favouriteson has the remarkable record of placing inthe top six world rankings for each of the past15 years.

He finished third in this year’s Britishseries (for riders just registered in Britain), aseries he has won 12 times, including the twotimes that Volvo cars went to the winner.

The HSBC World Series was formerlyknown as the Landrover World Series.Nicholson won that title for the first time in1990, then nine years on the trot.

At 48 years of age, one could expect theKiwi equestrian legend to be slowing down —but quite the opposite.

Nicholson says everything is pretty muchgeared up for London 2012.

If selected, it will be his seventh Olympics,having previously competed at Los Angelesin 1984, Barcelona 1992, Atlanta 1996, Sydney2000, Athens 2004 and Beijing 2008.

Nicholson rates his chances of adding tohis two Olympic medals.

‘‘I’ve never had a better bunch of younghorses working towards an Olympics. Iexpect to be very competitive next year at toplevel competition.

‘‘In the past my top horses have beenexceptional in two phases but weak in onephase. These young horses are outstandingin all three phases — a must nowadays in asport so high powered in all three phases youcannot afford to have a weak link.’’

Nereo and Avebury, both nine-year-olds,are his two main contenders for next year’sWorld championships in Kentucky. Nereowon the Bramham three star CCCI, placedsecond at Barbury Castle in Wiltshire(equivalent to Kihikihi’s Mitavite event) andwon two advanced one day events in Eng-land. Avebury won a three star CCI event inFrance, placed second at Blenheim and won aODE in England.

Armaroa, a year older and more experi-enced but not as good at dressage as Nereoand Avebury, will be on standby for theWorlds.

Nicholson also has four other horses —two six-year-olds and two seven-year-olds —who have already won at international, oneand two star, level being groomed forLondon.

He spent his week back home with brotherJohn (horse trainer and cross country coursebuilder) and his family at Kihikihi.

‘‘When I was last here six years ago thetree was still standing that John has createdthe big stump jumps and Winnie the Poocomplex from on the crosscountry course.

‘‘Winnie the Poo was homeless then, Johnmust have felt sorry for him.

‘‘The course looks right up to northernhemisphere standards. The natural jumps atKihikihi are getting rare in our sport, with alot of square boxing jumps made out ofmachined timber being introduced.

‘‘The horses jump much better over jumpswith natural curves like John’s thanmachine made ones.’’

Nicholson flew back to Marlborough onFriday to tend to the 30 horses he and Frenchrider Arthur Defort compete on. The French-man works for Nicholson on his 45 acreproperty.

The pair have a well-earned break fromcompetitive riding until January when train-ing starts all over again for the 2010 HSBCWorld Series.

Golden debut by BuchananNZ team pursuiter now focussing on Beijing

TC011209SP17NEW ZEALAND clean-sweep in the individual pursuit at the recent Oceania trackcycling championships at Invercargill. Pictured on the podium, from left, are LaurenEllis, world champion Alison Shanks and Rushlee Buchanan.

BY COLIN THORSEN

Te Awamutu Sports rider RushleeBuchanan has returned home from herfirst UCI World Cup in Melbourne sportinga golden glow.

The stoked 21-year-old says she wasthrilled with her debut and wants moreWorld Cup exposure at Beijing in January.

The New Zealand trio of Alison Shanks,Lauren Ellis and newcomer Buchananwere fastest in qualifying, clocking 3:26.890on the slow track at Hisense Arena.

The time was a shade slower than theirNew Zealand record at the Oceania cham-pionships in Invercargill the previousweek, but times were not helped by theorganisers running the air conditioningwhich had deadened the track throughoutthe meet.

Australia were nearly a second slowerafter a conservative start, the Netherlandsfaded badly and world champions GreatBritain were second fastest, half a secondslower than New Zealand.

Kaytee Boyd, Shanks and Ellis thendominated Great Britain with an impress-ive display in the gold medal ride, turning-the-tables on their result at the worldchampionships in March.

BikeNZ national women’s coach, DayleCheatley gambled on bringing in the freshlegs of Auckland’s Boyd for the final inplace of Buchanan.

‘‘I thought it was a great move. Surewe’d qualified fastest but it’s good to havethat option to mix and match for a final,’’says Buchanan.

‘‘There nothing quite like competitionfor places in any team. It only serves tomakes us ride faster to make the team forthe final.’’

The Kiwis produced a precision display,being ahead of the British trio from thestart and were never threatened, going onto clock 3:24.771, their third fastest timeever, with the British more than a secondbehind.

Buchanan is definitely the one for thefuture.

Her elevation to the ‘big time’ ensures

New Zealand now has a squad of five or sixteam pursuit riders of international stand-ard ahead of next year’s world champion-ships.

BikeNZ head coach Tim Carswell —pleased with the women’s pursuit develop-ing a group of girls going very well — wasdisappointed the men’s pursuit team,

including Te Awamutu’s Peter Latham,did not make the final after he spelled aceJesse Sergent from the heats.

But in the overall scheme, Carswellsays it has helped develop experience atthis level.

‘‘Sometimes you have to lose a battle towin the war.’’

Camp runs rapid100m at Porritt

Te Awamutu College athletes excelled in the firsttwo rounds of the Waikato Secondary Schools’Track and Field League at Porritt Stadium.

Standout performance was Katherine Campcompeting against the likes of Youth Common-wealth Games representative Mariah Ririnui fromTauranga. Ririnui, is ranked number two over 100min New Zealand.

Camp powered out of the blocks, quicklyestablishing a metre lead which she extended tothree meters by the finish, with a very smart time of12.77 seconds.

A week later Camp easily accounted for the fieldin the 200m, winning by some 20 metres. She alsowon the triple jump.

In his first season of training, Ralph Lentge-Smith is already showing the benefits — running avery smart race to finish second in the junior boys’3000m in 10 minutes. He backed this up with a fifthin the 800m in 2.26 minutes.

Aussiebeau Te Huia showed in his first outingthat he will, as the season progresses, develop into avery classy sprinter, when he took out the juniorboys’ 100m.

Lily Hall took out the junior girl’s triple jump ina personal best of 10.30. She was second and thirdrespectively in the 100 and 200 metres.

Although unplaced Anton Melville, Tessa Gilletand Andre Peake all competed well in their firstoutings for the season.

National octathlon champion, Phil Simms, whoattends Hamilton Boys High, but trains under theguidance of Neal Webb, turned on the heat againsthis fellow competitors.

Over the two weeks he has won the 100, 200 and400 metres, the triple jump, high jump and longjump, as well as placing second in the 300m hurdles.He recorded personal best performances in no lessthan four events.

Top 2x4x2 bowls pairThe men’s 2x4x2 final was won by GordonBlackstock and Bert Booth at Te Awamutu BowlingClub.

They beat Joe Tolich and Ian Fraser 25-17 in thefinal.

John Hastie and Jim Roigard, and Bruce McGilland John Apeldoorn were the beaten semi-finalists.

Cinema Scene

It’s a Wonderful LifeClassic Christmas filmdigitally enhanced

A good but slightly ineffectual man tries to off himselfafter an error that really wasn’t his fault.

In Christmas Carol fashion, his crusty-but-lovableguardian angel shows up to give him a tour of the worldwithout his presence, and it isn’t a pretty place.

Moral courage, small-town American life, civiccooperation, and family love are glorified; corporategreed and self-involvement are vilified; at the climax, ablanket of snow like spun sugar makes everything pureand clean like redemption itself.

It was nominated for five Oscars without winningany, but the film has since been recognised by theAmerican Film Institute as one of the 100 best Americanfilms ever made, and placed number one on their list ofthe most inspirational American films of all time.
