Traffi c Police toughen upBy Dean Taylor
If the picture to the right looks like something you see in your rear vision mirror from Monday you could be in more trouble than you thought.
Amendments to the Land Trans-port Act come into force on Monday aimed at addressing serious speed-ers and drink drivers.
The new laws give police the power to impose higher instant fi nes, suspend licences and im-pound vehicles.
Te Awamutu Strategic Traffi c Unit Sergeant David Hall says speed and alcohol are the major contributors to road trauma in this country.
He says while the public of Te Awamutu generally seems to have got the message about drinking and driving, speeding is an issue.
The notorious speed trap areas are the urban/rural roads, espe-cially long straight stretches such as Whitmore Street in Kihikihi and Te Awamutu’s Te Rahu and Cambridge Roads.

Sergeant Hall says extra speed means more distance is covered during the driver’s reaction time and braking distances are in-creased, recipes for disaster in built up areas.
He says drivers cannot be com-placent about their speed just be-cause they know their roads.
Statistically in New Zealand three lives are saved annually for every 1km/h we reduce our aver-age speed.
The new laws are designed to ram home the seriousness of these offences and, in the worst cases, take bad drivers off the road.

Sanders saddles up 1000th winnerGraeme joins father Bill Sanders in elite group of 15 to achieve magical milestone
By Colin ThorsenGraeme Sanders is far from resting on his laurels after
reaching the magical milestone of training 1000 winners.The 56-year-old fl ew out for Australia on Tuesday to buy
new stock at the Gold Coast Sales, accompanied by his sons Mark and Craig.
Sanders says he is keen to get them more involved in the purchasing of stock and ownership of horses.
Jockey Gary Grylls and fellow Te Awamutu trainers Robert Priscott and Richard Otto are also attending the sales, as is Sanders’ main client, Sidney Shiu, who is com-ing out from Hong Kong.
Sanders trains nine of Shiu’s horses.The average price at the sales in 2005 was $140,000.
Many sold for in excess of $1million.Sanders bought three two-year-olds last year and two in
2004. Two of them have already been sold to Hong Kong clients.
The New Zealand ‘trainer of the moment’ recorded his 1000th domestic win when Belthazar led throughout to win the Bayleys Country 1400 at Tauranga, making Janu-ary 3, 2006 a date he will never forget.
He becomes the 15th trainer to win 1000 or more races in New Zealand.
The elite group, headed by Dave O’Sullivan with 1877, includes his father Bill Sanders who notched up 1002 win-ners in a long and illustrious career at Te Awamutu.
“It was great having most of the family at Tauranga for the win,” says Sanders.
“Unfortunately, Mark couldn’t make it because he was home doing the work, including organising the party to celebrate.”
Sanders had hoped to chalk up his 1000th winner at his local meeting on Christmas Eve.
“I planned it to happen at Te Awamutu and thought Belthazar was going to do it for me, but he was slow away and that ruined his chances.”
“I knew he could do it provided he got away all right and he did so at Tauranga.”
He showed speed from the outset, going straight to the front and maintained a strong gallop right to the line for rider Gary Grylls.
The occasion was made even more notable for Sanders with Grylls being the rider, as the pair have had a long and successful association.
The Grylls family connection goes back to his late father John Grylls and now includes Gary’s son Craig, who is ap-prenticed to Sanders.
Adding to the moment was the presence of Sanders’ family, which he acknowledged as an integral part of his success.
“My wife Gael has been the backbone of the whole op-
eration, Debbie (Sweeney) trains in partnership with me and Mark is the stable foreman, while my other son Craig, who is an accountant, is also an owner.”
A special presentation was made to Sanders by Racing Tauranga president Peter Silson.
In his acceptance speech, Sanders thanked all the jock-eys who have ridden for him, the owners who have sup-ported him, his staff over the many years and most of all, the horses who have won the races.
He singled out Lovelace Watkins win in the Wellington Derby as his most memorable victory.
“It was special because Gael and I owned him, but there
have been lots of other special wins.”As well as attending the Gold Coast sales, Sanders got
to see one of his horses (Outside Flags) race yesterday and will attend the Magic Million meeting on Saturday.
He returns home Tuesday to refocus on Belthazar’s bid for a start in the Gr I $120,000 Telegraph Handicap at Trentham on January 21.
Belthazar has now won four of his 13 starts.For the record - Sanders trained 493 winners in partner-
ship with his father Bill, 327 winners on his own, and with daughter Debbie he has trained 180 winners.

Adeaze headlining fundraising concert
Top New Zealand band Adeaze (pictured) will headline this Sat-urday’s fundraising concert at Albert Park.
The band is one of 10 top acts, including top dance group Systamatik, to perform to raise money for a life saving operation for local woman, Malanie Elison.
MC’s are ‘Shortland Street’ stars David Wikaira-Paul (Tama) and Pua Magasiva (Vinnie).
Mrs Elison was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease in Au-gust, 2004 and her rapid physi-cal deterioration has prompted her whanau to seek whatever means available to assist her.
“Fortunately, there is a mira-
cle operation (stem cell surgery) available in Japan that will dramatically improve Lani’s condition,” says whanau member Theressa Ball.
The cost of making this pos-sible is around $40,000, but her whanau are determined to raise the money.
Some fundraising projects have already been undertaken, but Saturday’s concert at Albert Park is the major fundraiser.
Performers have donated their time to make this a successful event.
Tickets are on sale and cost $25 for adults (children under 13 free). They are available
On Saturday there will also be gate sales from 9.30am. The show starts at 10am. The concert is promoted as drug, smoke, alco-hol and video camera free.
There will be 10 food stalls and a variety of craft and produce stalls also at the event.
People are also welcome to bring picnics and chairs, gazebos or umbrellas, plus are reminded to be sun-smart and make sure they cover up for an enjoyable family day out.

Caring for community By Cathy Asplin
Miss Rosetown Danielle Wilson is more than happy to improve the look of her favourite town - even if that means putting on rubber gloves to pick up rubbish.
Along with good friend Greer Cliff the pair were a regular sight on Te Awamutu streets before Christmas.
As the Keep Te Awamutu beau-tiful Environmental Offi cers they were happy to keep the town tidy.
“We soon noticed that picking up rubbish became second nature to us.
“Even when we weren’t work-ing we couldn’t help stopping to pick up rubbish we saw fl oating around.”
As well as cleaning up and spreading the message to keep our town beautiful, they were able to meet plenty of friendly locals.
“We had so many positive com-ments from people around town, supporting us and encouraging us - telling us we were doing a great job. It was nice to feel ap-preciated.”
A common comment they heard was “It’s great to see young poeple cleaning up the streets and work-ing in the community.”
As well as cleaning up, they also spread the anti-litter message, gave out litter bags, balloons, lol-lies and posters supplied by spon-sors McDonalds, Harcourts and Waipa District Council.

It would have been too easy to quitI’ve always been the overweight guy when I’m with myfriends. This time last year I was 110 kgs and I was ready fora change. I was sick of having no energy and sick of being thesize I was. I knew how much weight Dad lost when he joinedMarty’s gym (Paul Kingdon lost 40 kgs of body fat after ahealth scare) so I decided to do the same. For me joining thegym and having to pay for it was the incentive I needed tokeep training. If I had decided to go walking instead, it wouldhave been too easy to quit. No one would know if I gave up.
I used to fall asleep in the afternoonsAt first I thought that the only way I would lose weight wasto cut out all of the bad food and eat as little as possible. (Iwork at Mobil, Te Awamutu, so I was surrounded by chocolate and high calorie snack foods all day). I started taking my meals to work with me. This worked for me andthe weight started to drop off. But people were starting to comment that I looked gaunt, soI decided to go and see Stef, one of the trainers at Marty’s. Shewrote me a new programme and taught me about good nutrition. Once a week I eat whatever I might be craving forso I never feel like I’m missing out. This idea really takes thepressure off and I am getting better results than ever and atthe same time building more muscle. I used to get sleepy inthe afternoon (I start work at 5.45 am). But now I haveenough energy to do my workout straight after work.
Jaws dropped when they saw meI hated eating out when I was big. It felt like every one waswatching me so I avoided eating in public. I hated buyingclothes. Having to go for the double X sizes was embarrassing. When you’re an overweight person and you golooking for clothes, the sales person doesn’t know what to say.It feels as though they don’t know how to deal with you, it’suncomfortable. Now that I have lost 30kg that problemdoesn’t seem to exist.When I saw my extended family this Christmas their jawsdropped when I walked in, they couldn’t believe the change inme. I would say to anyone thinking about joining a gym togo to Marty’s, the staff are friendly, helpful and will really lookafter you.

QSM’s for community workFrom page 2.
Mr Dench was a member of the Tongariro Nat-ural History Society for 12 years and is a trustee of the Native Restoration Trust and was involved in the restoration of plantings in Waitomo and surrounds.
He is humble about accepting the QSM, but says he did so in recognition of the efforts of his nominee and the fact someone must have appre-ciated his efforts.
Mr Dench says to his way of thinking everybody lives in a community and should actively partici-pate and contribute something worthwhile.
He says sitting back and moaning is not in his nature.
Mr Dench says the natural environment is a big part of the community, and has always been a big part of his life.
He and an elder brother were introduced to the outdoors by their grandfather, a man of the bush.
In his own adult working life as a mechanic, then farmer, Mr Dench has fostered his love of the outdoors, and enjoys sharing it with others.
One of the projects he is involved in which gives him great satisfaction is the summer pro-gramme.
He says people with no experience of the out-doors are taken to places they would never go on their own.
“They start off apprehensively and sometimes a bit wary, but end up elated,” he says.
“For them it is a foreign world, and I have the pleasure of showing it to them.”
Mr Wright now lives in Tauranga, but part of his many years of community service began in Te Awamutu.
He was a Te Awamutu Borough Councillor from 1971 to 1973, but it is through Lions Club that
many of his achievements can be attributed.Mr Wright is a former president of Te Awamutu,
Omokoroa and Te Puna Lions Clubs during a 45 year membership of the international service organisation.
He was involved with Te Awamutu Lions dur-ing the years Freeman Home was built.
Mr Wright started in the grocery industry in the 1940’s and owned and operated the Te Awamutu IGA and owned Kihikihi IGA.
In 1970 he was named a director of IGA Waikato.
His chairmanship of Te Puna’s Maramatanga Park development committee saw him play a vi-tal role in construction of the netball and tennis courts and the $500,000 pavilion. He spent 17 years as chairman of the Te Puna Sports Com-plex and gained huge satisfaction from his 20-year involvement with the Festival of Tauranga, including 10 years as president.
In its heyday, the festival organised huge fl oat parades in which 30,000 people lined Cameron Road between Boys’ College and the Race Course.While the parades have faded into history, not so his involvement in fund-raising efforts through Li-ons for Tauranga Hospital and Waipuna Hospice.He instigated the combined Western Bay Lions clubs’ $120,000 campaign to furnish hospice’s in-patient unit.
And he helped organise walkathons to buy much-needed facilities for the hospital - the last one only three years ago when he headed the project which raised $14,000 to buy equipment for the exercise room in the pulmonary rehabili-tation unit.
Mr Wright is a trustee of the Ripeka Nicholas Memorial Trust which distributes scholarships to university and polytechnic students from Te Puna who require fi nancial assistance to help achieve their potential.
The former president of the Tauranga Retail-ers Association also spent four years at the helm of the Tauranga-San Bernardino sister cities organisation.
Mr Wright served as the council representa-tive on the Tauranga District Museum Trust and in 1998 was honoured with a Tauranga Citizen Award.
He feels the council should be tapping into the huge reservoir of community knowledge and ex-perience to help fund-raise for the planned $21 million waterfront museum on The Strand.
Mr Wright is a life member of Lions Interna-tional and was awarded the Melvin Jones Fellow-ship for humanitarian services.
Building Research offering more student scholarships
A variety of scholarships are being offered to students of academic excellence seeking to en-ter the building and construction sector, under Building Research’s newly-expanded Scholar-ships and Awards Scheme.
Building Research CEO Dr Sunil Vather says they propose to expand existing scholarships and awards to offer prizes each year to leading students at a wide range of tertiary institutions with courses directly related to building and con-struction, and also to students pursuing business degrees involving research projects that address building and construction industry issues.
“The ‘Scholarships and Awards Scheme’ is an important initiative to encourage students who have a record of excellence,” he says.
“They will learn invaluable skills relating to the building and construction sector, in effect creating better skilled workers for the future in New Zealand.”
Since 2003 Building Research has made $100,000 available annually for its Scholarship Awards. With the addition of two more Scholar-ships and Awards categories, Building Research will almost double the amount available.
They now offer three scholarships of a maxi-mum of $20,000 each annually to students undertaking building and construction related business degrees, as well as up to 35 grants of $500 or $1,000 to students in their fi nal year of tertiary study in building and construction related disciplines.
Scholarship students are required to maintain contact with Building Research during the course of their research and there is an expectation that the research fi ndings will result in a transfer of knowledge or technology benefi t to the wider building and construction sector.
“Preference is given to shorter courses over longer ones, to enable more students to benefi t from the available funding. Funding to any indi-vidual student is limited to a course of study of no more than three years and a further requirement is that the research undertaken is carried out in a New Zealand tertiary institution, except under exceptional circumstances,” Dr Vather says.
Applications for the next Zonta/Building Research Award, close on 28 February 2006. More information available from the www.buildingresearch.org.nz website.

Waiata from past preserved for future
A compilation of traditional King Country waiata is to be launched at Pokuru’s Te Kopua Marae next week.
‘Toitu te Puoro’ is the latest book and CD to be released by Shane Te Ruki of Ngati Mania-poto.
The book title translates to ‘Let Our Songs be Everlasting’ and features some waiata that are many decades old.
Mr Te Ruki has worked closely with kaumatua Piripi Crown over the past year to research, interpret and translate these waiata.
He has also overseen the dig-ital remastering of the original versions of each song onto CD for the purposes of retaining the kupu (lyrics) and rangi (air) of each song.
He says many of the treasured tapes he uncovered from private collectors are decades old and at different stages of deterioration.
“Often these invaluable tapes were recorded with basic hand-held recording instruments. the recordings capturing the price-less impromptu performances of former generations.”
“Toitu te Puoro does not pur-port to be an all authoritative account of our waiata tawhito. It is intended to be a learning aid, a teaching aid, a prompt for trib-al and whanau discussion and a cause for personal refl ection .”
Toitu Te Puoro is being launched at 9am next Wednes-day at the Te Kopua Marae, Morgans Road, Pokuru.
Copies of the book will be available for purchase following the launch.
For further details contact Piki Knap or Shane Te Ruki (ph 07 878 7772) or email [email protected]
AFTER considerable research, interpretation and recording, Shane Te Ruki (above) has compiled a book and CD of King Country waiata, which will be launched next week. Photo supplied
PAGE 8 Te Awamutu Courier, Thursday, January 12, 2006
History has a funny way of repeating it-self.
As a young man I was referred to as Jim Cox’s son. I recall that he felt a subtle shift in his status when this switched to him being called Michael Cox’s father.
After spending part of the holidays with my extended family, I now understand how he felt. More impor-tantly I have seen how genetic traits fl ow from generation to the next and beyond.
My Father was a gentle man; a sportsman of renown. For twenty seven years he was a head master of an Eng-lish State Primary School with seven hundred children from a working class area. He knew all their names. He believed that every child had a talent, and that it was his and his staff ’s job to uncover and nurture it.
He found that 80% of his pupils couldn’t swim. He decided to build a swimming pool and to teach them. Punishment for miscreants was to fi ll between two and fi ve wheel barrows with earth from the ever deepening hole that eventu-ally became a 25 yard swimming pool.
Following the pools opening he received a note from one of his pupil’s parent stating that, “my little Jimmy is not allowed near your fancy swimming pool until he can swim!”
Father framed that note and hung it on his study wall to remind him what educating kids was all about.
I would have liked to have been like him, but instead inherited more of my Mother charac-teristics. She was a feisty woman who tended to lead with her chin. I loved her dearly; we frequently clashed through those miserable teen age years before Father decided that the wide world needed me more than the family nest. I went to sea at the tender age of seventeen.
Two generations later my grand children are starting to take centre stage in life.
The eldest, a bright, feisty fi fteen year old lass, leads with her chin. Her relationship with her Mother can be described as ‘noisy, provocative and loving.’ She tries everything going, including her parents, and is probably destined for politics or the law.
Her eldest brother is of a gentle nature. He tries extremely hard to do his best academically and easily excels at sport. He smiles his way through life and will never be short of friends. The teaching profession would benefi t from his presence.
Number three has inherited all the good genes; very bright, natural ball player, competitive but caring; a thinker. He will be the one to carry the family standard high.
The youngest is of a different ilk. He wonders what keeps the moon in the sky, and where butterfl ies get the colours for their wings. His siblings protect him furiously, but he notices not. Life will be interesting for him.
I’m proud to be known as their Grandfather!
By Chamber of Commerce executive officer Michael Cox.
History never repeats - or does it?

The Gracelands Group of Services has recently negoti-ated the purchase of Insight Training Academy from owner Sheryl Goulin, a private training enterprise that has been in op-eration for fi fteen years.
Gracelands CEO Robyn Klos says there is excellent synergy between Insight and Grace-lands and it is an exciting op-portunity for both organisations.
“This enterprise sits alongside our other business developments that support our mission,” she says.
This opportunity for Grace-lands fi ts with the organisa-tion’s strategic development
refl ecting the need to combine training with employment es-pecially for those people enter-
ing the workforce often for the fi rst time.
Insight Training Academy will con-tinue to operate as it has done in the past offering TOPs and other courses with the same staff in place.
Over time it is planned to be able to offer the staff of providers of disability support services, includ-ing Gracelands staff timely and effective training
within the current national certifi cate and diploma frame-works.
This will be a major advantage
to workers in the fi eld to receive training that is recognised na-tionally, addressing a signifi cant issue in the sector and brings together the employers and a trainer provider who knows the industry to work collaboratively.
It will also encourage more people to consider working in this diverse sector offering people career structures in challenging but enjoyable work places where overall there are signifi cant workforce shortages.
It is also envisaged that the training that is provided will as-sist disabled and disadvantaged people to gain employment which is a key part of Grace-lands core business.
It is well recognised that employers have increased their expectation that all new em-ployees have basic work and social skills and ethics which Insight incorporates into its cur-rent courses.

Maungatautari Ecological Is-land Trust ecologist Chris Smuts-Kennedy has a busy time ahead with two conservation fi eld trips planned in January and February.
The vision of the Maungatautari Trust is to replace as many of the species that once lived on the moun-tain as possible. That list includes the Cook’s petrel, which, before in-troduced predators wiped them out, would have been established in the Maungatautari area.
It has been estimated that 50,000 pairs of Cook’s petrel currently breed on Little Barrier Island - a far cry from the millions that would once have been established through-out New Zealand. Little Barrier now has the only remaining signifi cant population although tiny remnants also exist on Great Barrier and Cod-fi sh Islands.
Trust ecologists Mr Smuts-Kennedy and Jodi Mitchell will spend a few days on Little Barrier Island to work out the logistics of moving 60 Cook’s petrel chicks to Maungatautari, which includes fi nding enough burrows near suit-able helicopter landing sites. The actual translocation may take place as early as 2007, subject to iwi con-sultation and DOC approval.
If the translocation is logistically possible and approval is received the chicks would be placed into pre-made, artifi cial burrows that provide a tunnel-entrance for the chicks and also a top opening for care-givers to feed them every two or three days. Three or four weeks later they would fl y from Maungatautari to spend the winter in the eastern Pacifi c Ocean. In about four years time they would return to Maungatautari for court-ship and pre-breeding activity with the hope they would start breeding the following year.
Ideally the process could be used to translocate 60 chicks each year to the mountain for the next fi ve years to form a new viable breeding population.
It would be the fi rst return of this species to the mainland after an ab-sence of many centuries.
On his return from Little Barrier Island Mr Smuts-Kennedy will have little time to relax before he travels to Fiordland to search for kakapo.
The Department of Conservation has ‘called up’ a handful of kakapo
experts who worked closely with the endangered parrot in Fiordland more than thirty years ago.
“At that time less than 20 birds were found – all males. However, a small population was then discov-ered on Stewart Island which still included females. The emphasis duly shifted to that second popula-tion and Fiordland has been rather ignored ever since – and people with Fiordland kakapo expertise (and whose bodies are still up to such fi eld work!) are now, like the kakapo themselves, not very numerous”, said Smuts-Kennedy.
“The small currently managed breeding population on a few pro-tected offshore islands is mainly made up of Stewart Island birds (only one Fiordland male is includ-ed), and there is now a suggestion of inbreeding problems becoming ap-parent. Hence the need to have this last-chance look for any surviving Fiordland birds so that their valu-able genes can be included in the managed population.”
Kakapo only attempt to breed in super-abundant food years which normally occur once every 4-6 years. This summer is showing signs of be-ing such a season in Fiordland and any males present should therefore be giving their characteristic ‘boom-ing’ mating calls, making them easier to fi nd.
Maungatautari is considered to be good potential kakapo habitat and, as they once lived on the mountain, it will be a prime translocation site when the perimeter pest-proof fence is fi nished and the introduced pred-ators eliminated.
“To hear the boom of this wonder-ful bird once again on the mountain would be very special”, said Mr Smuts-Kennedy.

CLEAN ME VALET owner Api Tapine starts work on a vehicle at the Jackson Street yard. 0120611AD
‘In Business Circles’ is a free one-off service provided by the Te Awamutu Courier to introduce new Te Awamutu businesses or new owners who have taken over an existing local business. Due to increased use of colour in the Te Awamutu Courier, In Business Circles photographs will now be published in colour instead of black and white. If you are interested in having your business featured on this page, contact Cathy Asplin for further details (ph 871 5151 or send an email to [email protected]).
Valet service cleans up with opening specialsIN BUSINESS CIRCLES
Just got back from holiday and the car has sand on the fl oor, sticky fi ngerprints on the windows and iceblock wrappers in the ashtray?
Do yourself a favour and call ‘Clean Me Valet’.The new valet service based at 59 Jackson Street
has some great opening specials that will sort out your vehicle. Whether it just needs a wash-wax-vac or a full show room shine, owner Api Tapine has a cleaning option to suit all requirements.
“We’re very fl exible here - if one of the special package deals don’t suit, we can custom design a service to meet your needs.”
The valet service is available for individual own-ers, car yards or companies that need help main-taining their vehicles.
The Clean Me Valet yard has plenty of space for vehicles, so that owners can leave them for the day while working if necessary. Others who require a quicker service for their car can leave it while they
pop into town or to the supermarket just around the corner.
For people who need to stay at home, the car can be delivered and payment is simple with the busi-ness’ convenient mobile eftpos machine.
“We’ve found mobile eftpos is ideal for our cus-tomers - such as parents who are at home with young children - so they don’t necessarily have to come in to collect their car.”
Mr Tapine says he was delighted the opportunity arose to operate a valet service in Te Awamutu.
“I fi nd it really relaxing cleaning cars and I have almost completed a Bachelor of Business Studies through Massey, so this venture was ideal for me.
“I’m enjoying putting all the theory and skills I have learned into practise.”
For more about Clean Me Valet services or to book in your car contact the freephone number 0800 021 428.

Trust Waikato has begun 2006 with the announcement that new Chief Executive Dr Bev Gatenby (right) will take up the posi-tion for the Trust next month.
Trust Waikato Chair-person, Hori Awa, says “Dr Gatenby will bring to the role a range of experiences, knowledge and passion for commu-nity organisations”.
Dr Gatenby is well known within the com-munity sector at both a regional and national level.
She is currently the Chief Executive of So-cial Services Waikato, a charitable trust estab-lished in 2001 to build capacity of community organisations in the greater Waikato.
“Trust Waikato is al-ready a highly respect-ed supporter of arts, recreation, sport, youth and welfare organisa-tions. The role of Chief Executive of Trust Waikato is a wonderful opportunity for me to support the many com-munity groups already making a difference,” says Dr Gatenby.
In addition to her strong regional involve-ment, Dr Gatenby also holds positions on the national Community Sector Taskforce and the New Zealand Fed-eration of Voluntary Welfare Organisations.
Dr Gatenby has pre-viously worked as a consultant, researcher and writer, and lectured in communications and management of not for
New fund trust CEO
profi t organisations at the University of Waikato.
In 2004 she complet-ed her doctoral research into issues of social jus-
tice, governance and the community sector in New Zealand.

Ross Wrenn sailed the race non-stop in his Laser, complet-ing the most laps (22.25) each measuring about 2.5 kilome-tres.
He retained the Mitchell Tro-phy he last won in 2004.
Finishing on the same lap were Gordon Wallis and crew Rob Greenwood sailing an El-liott 7.4, and Danny Padman in another Laser.
Owen and Janice Johnston retained the Trailer Yacht plate after the boat handicap rating was applied to their Joker 6.7 ‘ResiVor’.
Several intermediate sailors survived the endurance race.
A Frostply jointly skippered
by Melissa Wall, Cam Mans and Thomas de Meijer completed 16.4 laps to take fi rst place in the intermediate fl eet.
A remarkable performance by Jamie Rumbles, sailing a Star-ling single-handed for the six hours, saw him complete 15.7 laps to fi nish second.
He recovered from a capsize when the wind freshened late in the race.
The wind also caused the crews of other yachts to take a swim before getting under way again.
Ngaroto Sailing Club has a full programme for both the learner and experienced sailor, sailing most Sundays through-out the summer.

No stopping Whiteman after he holes-in-one
By Colin ThorsenRobbie Whiteman’s game has come along in
leaps and bounds since recording his fi rst hole-in-one at Stewart Alexander Golf Club.
The 19 handicapper, with only two year’s com-petitive golf experience, played the perfect shot on the eighth hole of 135m, using a six iron.
“I hadn’t been playing well up until then, hence the six iron,” says Whiteman.
“Most use an eight iron, a couple of my mates even fl ex their muscles with a pitching wedge.”
He watched as his ball took a couple of bounces straight into the cup.
“It was a bit of a shock because of the way I had been playing.”
The ‘ace golfer’ then strung together a couple of pars to end up with a reasonable round - winning the junior stableford with 38 points in the mid-week tournament, sponsored by House of Travel.
“It must be a confi dence thing,” says White-man.
“I’ve really played well in the two rounds since then.”
He shot 80 gross (61 net) to fi nish runner-up with a score of 5-up in Sunday’s bogey scramble, sponsored by Wilksbrooke Motors.
His round included birdies on the par fi ve third, seventh and 17th holes, and the par four 10th hole. He had even halves of 40.
Whiteman recalls having a year’s coaching as a nine-year-old.
“You do what your mother tells you to do as a youngster,” he quipped.
Work commitments restricted his involvement to only two or three social rounds with his mates in subsequent years until he decided to give golf ‘a good nudge’ two years ago.
Whiteman (of Whiteman Douglas Construction) sponsor’s the sixth hole at Stewart Alexander.
Ash Robertson is another club member in sub-lime form.
The 10 handicapper won Sunday’s bogey scram-ble with 7-up. He was out in 38 and home in 35 for 73 gross, with birdies on 3, 7, 11 and 14.
Robertson was fresh from winning the senior men’s net with another sparkling round of 67 in the midweek tournament.

Kihikihi Polo Club started the 2006 season in the best pos-sible way with two of their three teams winning their sections at the Robertson Memorial tourna-ment in Morrinsville.
Simon Bennett reports that the high goal team of Robert Watson, Hamish Ormond, Kevin Gray and Tom Hunt had to work hard all weekend for their success.
They were up against two strong teams, particularly the Cambridge team they beat 9-8 in the fi nal.
Kihikihi won in the dying seconds of the last chukka with an outstanding goal from Tom Hunt after Cambridge had led for much of the match.
The icing on the cake was complete in the high goal section
when Robert Watson was named player of the tournament and Hamish Ormond’s horse Gilbert was named best pony of the tour-nament.
In the medium section, Kihiki-hi’s team of Dean Edie, Ken Ar-nold, Ashley Christian and Carl O’Connor recorded a 4-0 win over the host team Morrinsville.
Despite the scoreline, it was a tough game featuring a lot of close marking.
Kihikihi will defend their ti-tle at the Walker Memorial at Taupiri this weekend.
The tournament is named after the late Ron Walker, who was one of New Zealand’s highest handi-capped players of his time.
The trophy has been at stake annually for over 30 years.
The club will also be represent-ed by a low goal team at Taupiri.
A third team is heading off to the Poverty Bay Open - the fi rst of the major tournaments in the Central Districts and always a great festival of polo.
Kihikihi will host two major tournaments this season.
The fi rst is the annual New Zealand test on February 11 against a full strength England team for the fi rst time in a number of years.
New Zealand will be brimming with confi dence after their win over Australia last year .
A month later over 1,000 horses will converge on Kihikihi Domain for the New Zealand Savile Cup club championship from March 7-12.
Polo club off to cracking start
Te A Cycles sponsored summer series for 2005 fi nished with a 12.5km individual time trial.
With four out of the eight grades coming down to the fi nal placing to decide the series winner, plac-ings were critical.
The A grade series winner Scott Ardern did not have to ride. He had enough points to take the title after race nine the previous week.
Manu Robson, one of the best exponents against the clock, won in 17.35 minutes, from Wayne Ma-son (17.38) and Cameron Holt (17.57) .
Chris Scott only needed to fi nish in the top 10 to take out B grade series. He did so fi nishing seventh.
New club member Jonathan Robinson clocked 19.14 to win the B grade time trial from tri-athlete Mark Fulford (19.32) and Ali Methven.
Justin Ellis had the C grade series in the bag after race nine. Visitor Mark Thomas won the time trial in 19.55, from Quenton Glover (20.06), with Ellis (20.29) third.
The D grade came down to whether Robert Hall could fi nish in the top six to pass Gavin Foster who could not ride the last race. Hall missed out by one placing, fi nishing seventh.
Chris Quinlan won the D grade race in 20.25, from Steve Burrows (20.26) and Ronny Smith (20.261).
Rex Cresswell and Sean McBeth went into the last race on equal points in E grade. Cresswell
managed to hold off young McBeth to take out the title.
Login Hill won the E grade time trial in 20.47. Cherie Jaques (20.53) was second and Mark Fitz-gibbin (21.02) third.
Veterans Alan Messenger and Sonny Anderson went into the last race locked on equal points, with Messenger catching Anderson in the last 2km’s to take the F grade title.
Rangi Ward showed them how to time trial, win-ning in 21.44, from Ian Parker (21.49) and Mes-senger (21.57).
Jonathan Soepnel had the G grade series won by race nine. Ray Millar recorded 23.42 winning the time trial, from Soepnel (24.11) and Paul Neill (24.50).
The U15 series went down to the wire with Nicola McCormick holding a six point lead over Josh Gibson.
All money was on Gibson to win the time trial, leaving McCormick the task of fi nishing in the top six to prevent Gibson taking the title.
Her task was made tougher by 23 under-15 rid-ers facing the starter.
Gibson dually won but McCormick, riding her race of the series, took fi fth (12.32) and the title by two points.
Gibson’s time for the 6km was 11.19 minutes. Sjoerd van Wagtendonk (11.51) was second and Hayden McCormick (12.11) third.

Rotorua’s Sam Bewley showed why he is junior world champion winning the Brendan McGee Memorial North Island 15,000m championship at Te Awamutu velodrome.
Adding spice to the race was the $200 up for grabs for break-ing the New Zealand record.
With just under half the distance travelled, fi ve riders (all with top track pedigrees) had taken the lead - Bewley, Te Awamutu’s Olympian Tim Gud-sell, Morrinsville’s Tim Bennett (Oceania junior champion), Morrinsville’s Luke Hampton (NZ 10km champion) and Te Awamutu’s Scott Murray (WBOP 10km champion).
Richard Mellsop reports that the group were on target for the record with 10 of the 32 laps re-maining, despite the windy con-ditions but it was not to last.
Going into the bell lap, Ben-nett jumped clear with Murray, putting 20m on the other trio going into the back straight.
Gudsell chased hard, pass-ing them in the home straight, only to be passed by Bewley and Hampton.
Gudsell held on for third, with Murray fourth and Bennett fi fth.
Te Awamutu Sports Cycling club ran the Higgins Construc-tion sponsored track carnival over the New Year, with the 15,000m championship race held in conjunction with the North Island sprint champion-ship.
The women’s North Island sprint ride off for gold and silver featured Te Awamutu’s Rushlee Buchanan and Morrinsville’s
Vicky Burr. Buchanan caught Burr nap-
ping in the fi rst race but Burr did not make the same mistake in the next two, winning the best of three races 2-1.
Auckland’s Amy Flower took the bronze medal in a ride over.
Morrinsville’s Peter Murray set a new track record for the 200m sprint of 11.15 seconds in beating Auckland’s Neil Camp-bell by the width of a tyre in the men’s fi nal.
Murray (11.74) repeated the dose in the second ride to take
the title 2-0.In the ride off for bronze, Te
Awamutu’s Andrew Weatherley beat Otago’s Damian Wiseman 2-0 in 11.75 and 11.72.
The open Keirin race also at-tracted plenty of interest.
The event involves six cyclists riding behind a motorbike for 3.5 laps of fi ve laps, with the motorbike slowly increasing its speed to 50kph before pulling off the track to let the riders fi ght it out for the last 1.5 laps.
This type of racing is big in Japan where they bet on the result.
Weatherley won the men’s race by half a tyre from Auck-land’s Neil Campbell, with Ota-go’s Damian Wiseman a further quarter of a wheel back.
The women’s Keirin was won by Burr, from Flower and Buchanan.
The U15 races were domi-nated by Te Awamutu riders, with Sjioerd van Wagtendonk winning four out of four races and Hannah Curnow placing second in three and third in the fourth race. van Wagtendonk’s younger brother Luuk collected three thirds and one second.
Te Awamutu’s under-17 riders were also to the fore winning three of the four races.
Chris Scott won the Missing Out and the 8000m scratch, along with fi nishing third in the 4000m scratch.
Emma Petersen won the two-lap handicap race and was third in the 8000m scratch.
Alastair Tobin was third in the Missing Out.
Auckland’s Jacob Sodo won the 4000m scratch race.

ValiantFrom the producer
of Shrek, comes this high-fl ying computer -animated comedy ad-venture tale of a brave, but undersized, pigeon named Valiant who dreams of joining the elite Royal Homing Pigeon Service (RHPS) during World War II.
The fi lm was inspired by the fact pigeons saved thousands of lives during the war, and 31 of the 53 top honors given to animal heroes were pigeons.
Upon enlistment in the RHPS, Valiant, along with his misfi t en-listees, fi nds himself in the middle of a rigorous six-week basic training programme that must be completed before his fi rst mission.
As the war effort grows increasingly des-perate, and the carrier pigeon force fi nds itself dangerously depleted,
Valiant’s ragtag squad is rushed into service.
Their mission is to carry messages between England and the French resistance.
But danger lurks in the form of bad weather and vicious falcons employed by German forces. Lead by Von Talon the falcons are a darkly sinister lot that provide genuine fear.
Not enough to fright-en the youngsters in the audience but just enough to provide a sense of jeopardy and suspense.
With a wing and a prayer, Valiant and his fi ne feathered pals fl y into harm’s way and prove that it’s not the size of the wingspan that counts, but the size of the spirit.
Filled with adventure, comedy and memorable characters, Valiant de-livers great entertain-ment for audiences of all ages.
