YOUR LETTERS
Praise for cycle decisionI want to pass on my thanks
to the Waipa District Councilfor supporting the Home OfCycling project.
The progress has been bal-anced by a very consultativeprocess to analyse and under-stand the wider benefits shortterm but importantly — longer
term.This opportunity will have
an outcome of better health,community sporting develop-ment and success on the worldstage.
It’s nice to see cycling as anequal to rowing in the WaipaDistrict that truly is the home
of champions.This opportunity will
increase the region’s profileand place it on the world stageof cycling excellence.
The investment is ajourney, a journey that’s amarathon not a sprint, yet isbolstered by courageous
decisions such as the onemade by the Waipa DistrictCouncil.
I couldn’t think of a betterplace to house this communitygenerational facility fordevelopment and competing.

Ratepayers taken for a rideAfter reading last
Tuesday’s Courier and thearticles about the WaikatoRegional Council approvingthe payment of $6 Milliondollars of ratepayers moneytowards the proposedvelodrome at St Peter’s Schoolin Cambridge, I have to say Ifind it all hard to believe.
Firstly I believe the Courieritself has not kept the people ofTe Awamutu informed pro-perly about this project. At no
time has a full explanationabout this proposed velodromebeen set out in your paper.
In the articles the RegionalCouncil themselves said theyvoted on the complete pictureof the proposal.
Shouldn’t the public havehad the full, complete picturebefore they were asked tomake submissions.
How many people from TeAwamutu will use this facilityI wonder. At $20 for adults and
$15 for children how manystruggling ratepayers will beable to afford that to ridearound a small track, whenthey can find a quiet countryroad or one of the new cycletracks around the country anduse them for free.
Another thing that worriesme is that St Peter’s School,because they are gifting theland, are to be entitled to 8000pupil hours of use amountingto approximately $120,000 per
year worth of free use. Theratepayers by gifting $6million will get no freeconcessions.
I get the horrible feeling weratepayers are being taken fora ride here (excuse the pun).
People around the worldare starting to rebel at thingslike this happening in theircountries and I can see thesame thing happening here inNew Zealand before very long.
JANET RUSH
Kihikihi rooster woesI have spent yet another morning
awake since 4.30am.Every 20 seconds I can hear the
call of a rooster. As I lay awake forhours I ponder how the owners ofthese roosters for one can sleepthrough the noise, and for two feel nosympathy for their many dozens ofneighbours which must sufferthrough the noise.
There is no need to own a rooster.If you need waking up use an alarmclock. If you need new chickens thenbuy fertilised eggs and hatch themunder a clucky hen.
Please, I am pleading with therooster owner around Hall Street,have a thought for your neighbours. Ibet I am not the only one beingtormented by your unnecessary pet.
Kihikihi is an urban town, if youwant roosters go live in the countrywhere the cows won’t mind the soundof your rooster.
To Waipa District Council, whywon’t you do what every other coun-cil in the country has done and banroosters from urban areas — whymust you let your ratepayers suffer?
PIP WEAVER
Velodromeruling right
Well done WaipaDistrict Council forsupporting thevelodrome.
I for one believe thefinancial and socialbenefits will far out-weigh any smallincreases to rate-payers.
I feel so fortunate to
live in such a go aheadtown that offers somuch to its residents.
Good on the councilfor seeing the big pic-ture of what we as acommunity will gainfrom such a facility. Wewill have yet anotherasset!

JIM BEATON with his New Zealand Defence Service Medal.
BY RHIANN KEIGHTLEY, WINTECJOURNALISM STUDENT
Pirongia’s Jim Beaton wasoverwhelmed with the surprisepresentation of a New ZealandDefence Service medal at arecent Pirongia Lions meeting.
Mr Beaton, who spent 20 yearsin the New Zealand Royal AirForce, had an unexpected visitwhen his best man and fellowsquadron member unexpectedlyturned up from Wellington to bethe Lions Club guest speaker.
Squadron Leader WarrenDale, MBE, accepted the LionsClub invitation to speak aboutthe ‘The Air Force today and inthe future and its 75th annivers-ary programme’, and took theopportunity to present MrBeaton with his medal.
‘‘He twisted a few arms so thathe could present the medal to mewhich was very nice,’’ Mr Beatonsays.
While Squadron Leader iscurrently working as a DefencePlanner at RNZAF Wellingtonheadquarters, the pair flewtogether in the number 40 Squad-ron as C130 Hercules AirLoadmasters for a number ofyears, creating an unbreakablebond.
‘‘Like most who have servedin the forces, you feel theunbreakable bond with them isthe Aircrew Brevet (badge wornby qualified NZRAF crew) andthe lifelong comradeship itcreates,’’ Mr Beaton says.
The medal presented to MrBeaton was first introduced inApril this year, and is designedfor those who served in defenceforce for three years or moresince the end of World War II.
Mr Beaton was a humblerecipient of the medal and sayswhile he was grateful for theexperience, there are someheroes out there who did muchmore than he did.
‘‘You feel honoured enoughthat you have been lucky enoughto be a part of it.
‘‘There are some peoplearound who are very specialpeople — real heroes,’’ MrBeaton says.
Some of the tasks of a C130Hercules aircraft included;troop, VIP and freight carrying;search and rescue; deliveringparatroopers; and aerial supplydropping — tasks which MrBeaton took part in.
‘‘The crews feel privileged totake part in any of these tasksand 40 Squadron has made flights
to every continent in the world,including the Antarctic.
‘‘They also agree that thereally special people are thosethey helped transport to carryout tasks on the ground,’’ MrBeaton says.
He was one of the longerserving defence members, andsays it was
a tough task to remain in theair force.
‘‘To remain flying you have tobe fit and pass all of your examseach year.
‘‘You have to get categorisedwhich means each year you haveto sit a dozen exams and
depending on how well you go,you either have to sit them once ayear, every sixth months orevery three months.’’
In 1952 at just 18 Mr Beatonfirst joined the Royal Air Force,which took him to Malaya, Japanand Korea.
He then transferred to theRNZAF in 1954; where hecompleted 20 years before retir-ing in 1974.
During his time in the airforce Mr Beaton received medalsfor his long service with theRNZAF in Malaysia, Vietnamand the United Nations force inJapan and Korea.
YOUR LETTERS
Waipa’s $1 million was vitalIn response to Pat Bishop’s
letter ‘Million reasons to say no’on September 27:
Waipa District Council’s con-firmation of a $1 million invest-ment into the Home of Cyclingrecognises both the benefits ofthe National Cycling Centre ofExcellence to Waipa ratepayersand residents, and the import-ance that Waipa’s early indi-cation of support played insecuring the centre for the Wai-kato BOP region.
The economic study preparedfor Waikato Regional Councilestimated that much of the $5million of annual economicbenefit to the Waikato regionwill be localised, i.e. in Waipa.
This includes an estimated 40BikeNZ staff, 5 to 10 High Per-formance Sport NZ staff and 60 to65 carded athletes moving to theregion, many likely to live in theWaipa.
Waipa ratepayers will contri-bute around 6% of the total cost(including both Waipa DistrictCouncil rates and Waipa’s share
of the regional rate) and webelieve this is fair for the bene-fits that will be received.
Waipa’s contribution isessential is to securing theremainder of the fundingneeded.
Since Waipa indicated its sup-port of $1 million, the Home ofCycling has developed its modelaround it. Several of our largecommunity grant applications($6.1 million targeted in total)are conditional on significantlocal government support. WhileSPARC has approved itsfunding, community and gamingtrusts have not.
Our build cost of $28.5 millionhas not been reduced. We areoptimistic of making savings, butin no way are we banking on it. Ifin the positive event of buildingunder budget, any surplusfunding will be put into operat-ing costs to make the Centre evencheaper to access for the com-munity.
Including Waipa’s $1 millionbut excluding loan funding, we
currently have $17.8 million ofthe $28.5 million confirmed, somewith conditions, plus a numberof other very likely prospects. Itour strong desire to complete theproject fully funded, i.e. withoutloan funding, and we do notintend to commence any stage ofworks unless we know we havethe funding to pay for it.
We are working aggressivelyto secure up to $10 million offunding from corporate, com-munity and philanthropicsources. With corporate funding,community funding, includingfrom cyclists, and SPARCfunding this would mean thatover 75% of funding is comingfrom non-local governmentsources.
Thank you Waipa, we believethat in due course you willcelebrate having a secondnational centre of sporting excel-lence in your community.

A helpful hint...“While you need to consider the capacity requirements for your family’s needs, you also need to keep in mind the space available in your kitchen for your refrigerator.Measure the allowable space for a refrigerator, then decide on capacity before you go any further.Remember to allow a space of at least 10mm on each side to prevent overheating.It’s also a good idea to confi rm that the size you buy can be easily brought into your home; some houses may have smaller doorways or narrow hallways”.

One in four youth‘voters’ will haveno say in election
One in four young people will lose the chance to havetheir say if they fail to enrol for the November 26 GeneralElection and Referendum on the Voting System.
“With only a few weeks to go before the rolls close forprinting, over 120,000 18-24 year olds and 57,000 people aged25-29 still need to enrol,” says Murray Wicks, NationalManager of the Electoral Enrolment Centre.
“By not enrolling or taking part they’re putting decisionsabout their future into the hands of others.”
People aged 18 and over are required by law to enrol ifthey are a New Zealand citizen, or if they have permanentresidency and have lived in the country for one year at somepoint. It is not compulsory to vote but it is compulsory toenrol.
“We are urging young people to get enrolled as soon aspossible to ensure they receive an EasyVote pack closer toElection Day, which will give them all the information theyneed to vote in the general election and referendum,” saysMr Wicks.
Electoral staff are hard at work in communitiesnationwide, working to improve the statistics and getunder-30s enrolled. Field workers will be at communityevents, shopping centres, street corners and even goingdoor to door over the next few weeks making it easy forpeople to get enrolled.
“Don’t miss out,” says Mr Wicks. “Enrolling is easy. Youcan even do it via our Facebook page www.facebook.com/IVoteNZ .”
People can get an enrolment form by Freetexting theirname and address to 3676, going online towww.elections.org.nz, calling 0800 36 76 56 or picking one upfrom a PostShop.
Waikato well behavedWith the final whistle blown on the Waikato’s policing of
the Rugby World Cup, the officer in charge of the district’sresponse said the Waikato public can take a bow for howthey hosted three games in Hamilton.
Inspector John Kelly said though there were sevenevictions during Sunday night’s match between Wales andFiji, there had been no arrests during the game or at eitherof the two earlier fixtures.
"That good will from the public helped our staff inmaking an arrest of a man involved in the breaking-into ofa campervan parked near Waikato Stadium."

After The ShockFor a brief moment there is a great
stillness — as I and others take stock.There is no blood.The buildings around me are still
standing — this time.Once again I have survived intact —
almost.There is a legacy left behind to us all
though.Like a dog, shaking it’s victim between
it’s teethMother Nature has spoken again and
reminded us that we are at her mercyDriving to work I see children on
cycles, adults walking to work, joggers,people walking their dogs
Did that after shock just happen a fewminutes ago?
I feel so emotional when I witness theproof of our people’s ability to keeppicking up and going about their day
Unseen at times- we all carry thelegacy of past and future earthquakes
When will the next one come and whatwill I be doing when it comes?
I watch, see and hear the changingemotions, the fear and the tiredness of ourpeople’s reactions
The tentacles of our lives are grown inthe soil we live on
Should we leave?Should we rip out our roots?Should we stay and endure with our
love of our home so deeplyentrenched in our souls?
I am deeply saddened by what hashappened to all across our city.
Resistance is low and resilience issorely tested
The challenge of picking ourselvesback up is ever present
Earthquake and after shock are wordsnow entrenched in our souls
Are we tired of it all?You bet we areBut every time we know we must climb
back up the ladder and reach out for a
return to ‘‘normalcy’’ that includesaccepting the ongoing changes to ourlandscape and our homes
Each time, for a period of time, mythoughts are blocked, my emotions arescattered.
Each time I must knit the strands backtogether to enable full functioning
We have lost a lot here in CanterburyBut if we stay we must do so with an
ongoing commitment to our emotionalwellbeing.
On a physical plane nothing is certain

Youngsters’ forest scheme wins grant
TC041011SP8A
DOUGH CREATIONS are cooked on the campfire at Te Kauri by aschool group.
TC041011SP8B
STUDENTS on a tramp out from Te Kauri Lodge.
A grant which will helpyoungsters carry out ecologicalmonitoring at Te Kauri Reserve isamong environmental initiativesfund grants made by WaikatoRegional Council.
Hamilton Junior Naturalist(Junats) Club will use its $4000grant to help fund the purchase ofcomputers and electronic equip-ment for monitoring at the 1100hectare remnant of kauri,podocarp and hardwood forestlocated between Pirongia andKawhia.
They are one of the volunteergroups involved in work to protectand improve the Waikato region’senvironment given a fundingboost after the regional councilapproved a number of applicationsfor grants from the environmentalinitiatives fund at its meeting onThursday.
Chairman Peter Buckley said:‘‘Many of these organisations relyon the involvement and help ofvolunteers to achieve success intheir communities.
‘‘The funding awarded by thecouncil allows them to continuewith their work, which contri-butes more to the region than thevalue of our grants.’’
The Te Kauri-Waikuku Trustwas formed in 2004 to manage theTe Kauri-Waikuku Restorationand Education Project.
The founding partners repre-sented on the trust are the Hamil-ton Junior Naturalist Club,Department of Conservation,Ngati Hikairo and EnviroschoolsFoundation.
The equipment to be purchasedwith this grant will be associatedwith the collection and electroniccollation of scientific data.
As part of the project schoolstudents will learn about foresthealth and ecology through hands-
on activities.The restoration activities will
be designed so students can makea meaningful contribution tomonitoring and pest control.
Web access to ongoing changesin forest health will be tracked andrecorded in a way that enablesstudents to experience how theiractions make a difference overtime.
The Junats club caters for chil-dren aged 10-18, promoting andfostering interest and education innatural history.
The club owns and operates TeKauri Lodge, which is also avail-able to schools and other interestgroups to foster interest in naturalscience and environmental educa-tion.
More than 1,400 people eachyear use Te Kauri Lodge forrecreation, retreats, environmen-tal education and ecologicalcourses.
The Guardians of Paku BayAssociation was awarded $8000 forthe construction of two artificialbird roosting areas in Paku Bay atTairua, on the Coromandel Penin-sula.
A grant of $3000 was awarded tothe David JohnstonePukemokemoke Bush ReserveTrust for new signage and aninfrared security camera at theentrance to the reserve to helpcurb/prevent vandalism.
The reserve is just 20 minutesnorth of Hamilton and has, as partof the ‘Hamilton Halo’ project,been subject to intensive pestcontrol.
The main objective is toenhance the roosting and feedingopportunities for birds, and birdwatching opportunities for people.The proposal is for two smallroosts that mirror the design of anaturally formed roost nearby.
If the prototypes function welland are used by increasing num-bers of birds, they could beimplemented across the Coroman-del and other areas where naturalhabitat has been diminished.
Coastal scientist and Waikato
Regional Council Beachcare con-tractor Jim Dahm has designedthe roosts and will help theassociation interpret data andevaluate effectiveness.
Some work on the roost siteshas already been completed since
the association was granted con-sent in 2009, but approximately 750cubic metres of fill is still neededand heavy equipment is required.
The construction work wouldinvolve using clean sand from thecoastal marine area, transportingit to the two roost sites, andshaping the sites. It is expected totake about 80 hours of work.
The association was formed in2002 to preserve and improve thenatural character of Paku Bay,ensure continued access for allmembers of the public to the wholebay and to preserve and monitorsea and bird life of the bay and theTairua estuary. It has a member-ship of about 200, withapproximately 50 active members.
In its application the trust toldthe council that many changes hadtaken place at Pukemokemokeover the past 10 years, making theinformation board in the parkingarea at the entrance to the reservenow totally inadequate and out-of-date. New tracks and visitor facili-ties, the opening up of the pa site,and the view of the Waikato regionfrom the summit are not markedon the board.
In addition, there have beensome small fires in the reserveover summer, damage to signs,and car break-ins in the parkingarea.
Gifted to the nation in 1991 byDavid Johnstone, Pukemokemokeis a reserve which covers 40ha andis managed by the Department ofConservation (DOC). It enjoys arich diversity of native plantspecies and bird life.
A network of tracks allows anexploration of the area and alsogives access to a lookout platformthat has panoramic views of theWaikato basin.

Ratification of honeytesting welcomed
Global leaders in theproduction of therapeuticgrade manuka honey,Manuka Health, havewelcomed the announce-ment that the leadingtesting laboratories inSingapore, New Zealandgovernment-ownedAsureQuality, will now betesting for methylglyoxalas their measurement ofactivity in manuka honey.
Manuka Health devel-oped what has become thegold standard for themanuka honey industryin 2008, believing thatconsumers around theworld deserved to be ableto have total faith in theactive potential of themanuka honey productsthey were buying.
CEO Kerry Paul ispleased to see some fur-ther progress toward thestandard being adoptedworldwide. “We’ve saidfor a long time that amethylglyoxyal-basedscale would be the stand-ard against which allmanuka honey would bemeasured in the future.Many within the industryhave tried to promote out-dated and unreliabletesting in the past. We’vegot a way to go, but this isgreat first step.’’
Manuka Health hasworked with leading lab-oratories, Hills andAsureQuality to get con-sistency in methylglyoxaltesting.
There is a need to haveseveral laboratories cap-able of providing a repeat-able scientific test as the
scientific body of evidencesupportingmethylglyoxyal as theprimary factor contribut-ing to the unparalleledantibacterial properties ofNew Zealand manukahoney continues to mountup.
Since the publication ofthe original paper by DrHenle of the University ofDresden in 2008 that ident-ified MGO as manukahoney’s dominant activemeasurable constituent,six research studies havebeen published in inter-nationally peer reviewedpublications.
Waiariki Institute ofTechnology Researcherand Lecturer, Dr LynneChepulis has been work-ing on honey research formany years, being agraduate of the honeyresearch unit at the Uni-versity of Waikato whoconfirmed the Dresdenfindings.
‘‘The identification ofmethylglyoxyl as the com-pound responsible for thestable, non-peroxideantibacterial activity ofmanuka honey has turnedconventional thinking onits head,’’ she says.
‘‘Manuka Health isleading the way inestablishing the globalstandard for identifyinggenuine New Zealandmanuka honey.Consumers now have aguarantee of quality and atransparent way of under-standing how effective isthe antibacterial contentof their manuka honey.’’
With years of experi-ence in this type of testing,Manuka Health has estab-lished an IANZ-certifiedfacility, which was thefirst lab in New Zealand toadopt the system thatprovides a conclusive,accurate methylglyoxalrating of manuka honey.
The MGO™ ManukaHoney labelling relatesdirectly to the amount ofmethylglyoxal per kilo ofhoney.
For example, MGO™550+ Manuka Honey isguaranteed to contain aminimum of 550mg ofmethylglyoxal per kilo,making it potent enoughto inhibit the most power-ful strains of bacteria.
This type of accurate,clear, and honest labellingbecomes increasinglyimportant as therapeuticeffects are being sought byconsumers, particularlyat higher concentrations.Other testing methods arenot mathematically lin-ear, and their test resultsvary so wildly (around25%) as to be next touseless to a buyer.Methylglyoxyl testing hasa margin of error of only2% giving certainty toconsumer markets.
Currently ManukaHealth is working in part-nership with TechnicalUniversity of Dresden,and alongside leadingfacilities such as Hill Lab-oratories andAsureQuality to establishaccredited methylglyoxyl-testing facilities here andoverseas.

Beautiful nails with help from ‘Perfect Ten’BY CATHY ASPLIN
TC041011CA01
NAIL technician Jolie Molloy with some of the products she uses for her business ‘Perfect Ten’.
When Jolie Molloy visitedher family in England earlierthis year she enjoyed getting aset of acrylic nails applied.
‘‘There were nail clinicseverywhere and it made it veryeasy to have your nails done.’’
But when she returned to herhome in Te Awamutu shequickly realised there weren’tmany options to have the samedone here.
‘‘I wanted to get my nailsbackfilled but couldn’t find any-one locally who did it.
‘‘Most people head to Hamil-ton to have acrylic nails appliedor to get work done on theirnails — which can be difficultwhen you’re working or youhave other commitments.’’
Which started her thinkingabout providing the servicehere herself.
‘‘I looked at what was avail-able in terms of training,services, products, etc and felt itwas something I would enjoydoing as a business.
‘‘I also realised that therewere a growing number of localpeople who would also appreci-ate the service too.’’
So she trained in Taurangawith EzFlow and has set up herown business Perfect Ten whichoperates from her home and italso a mobile service.
Services include acrylicnails and maintenance of them,gelish nails (hard wearing coat-ing that lasts around threeweeks), nail art, manicures andpedicures.
She also offers ‘deluxe’manicures and pedicures whichincludes a tea tree soak, crystalscrub, buttermint buffing scrub,white tea tree lotion and gingermoisturiser.
‘‘These deluxe manicures
and pedicures last 40 minutesand are very relaxing.’’
Perfect Ten has quicklybecome established locally withpleasing feedback from cus-tomers.
‘‘I am building up my clien-tele and demand is growing formy services.
‘‘Being mobile means I cango to a customer at a time thatsuits them. This is particularlyuseful for young mums who
aren’t able to get out so easily. Iwork flexible hours too, so itmeans my clients don’t neces-sarily have to get to a clinicbetween 9am-5pm.
‘‘Those who prefer to, cancome to my home to have theirnails done.
‘‘I also do gelish nails forclients at Otto Inc.
‘‘I can get their nails in shapefor every day life or give them agreat look for special occa-
sions.’’Mrs Molloy is a former flight
attendant who emigrated toNew Zealand with her husbandand three children five yearsago.
She says they love NewZealand and have made TeAwamutu ‘home’.■ For further details or bookingscontact Perfect 10 (phone 021 624578, view the facebook page oremail: [email protected]).
Operation Snapproves worth
The value of recording serial numbers andmarking valuable property was spelt out inHamilton recently when detectives investigating arecent armed standoff in the city had a surprisingfind.
Detective Sergeant Carl Moon of the HamiltonCIB says officers searching a Beerescourt home inrelation to an enquiry into a suspectedmethamphetamine laboratory came across alaptop computer.
‘‘We found the device’s serial number and onchecking it contacted who we thought were thevictims, a Hamilton school.
‘‘They informed us their equipment had beenforensically marked with synthetic DNA whichwhen an ultraviolet light was applied to it, showedup on the laptop.’’
Mr Moon says by recording the serial number ofelectronics on recording databases, such as thoseavailable on Operation SNAP, or marking itemswith synthetic DNA it makes the Police’s job easierif the items are stolen.
‘‘Too often we come across property inscenarios similar to this one but are unable toprove the item is stolen.
‘‘Imagine how frustrating it is for Police to haveto return items to offenders because we can’t proveit is stolen, in this case with the forensic markingwe’ll be able to return the laptop to the school.’’

Popular Pirongia Craft
The Pirongia Craft Day draws thousands of visi-tors every year, regardless of the weather.
It is a special day that features New Zealand handmade or home-grown goods as well as a wide variety of food and some fun entertainment for adults and children alike.
The event was started 33 years ago by a volun-teer committee of dedicated local arts and crafts people who could see the potential for a unique, relaxed festival day.
In fact it was known as the Pirongia Cottage Crafts Festival Day when it began in 1978.
It was run by a group of cottage crafters who had
been involved in the relocation athe original Pirongia school builPirongia Playcentre).
Initially it was only for local staintended as a way to support lomunity groups.

TAUPO to Napier race winner Tim Gudsell (Pure Black Racing) picturedwinning the Tour of Somerville criterium in New Jersey. It was the firstAmerican win for Gudsell, who is the New Zealand criterium champion.Italy’s world road champion Giorgia Bronzini, was fourth on the day. ‘‘With amassive field of riders and a massive crowd, races like this in the US arealways great to win,’’ Gudsell told the Courier.
BY COLIN THORSEN
Tim Gudsell haswasted no time puttingthe experience gainedfrom racing profession-ally in the United Statesinto good effect on hometurf.
The Te AwamutuSports Club rider wonthe classic Taupo toNapier race by over aminute from his PureBlack Racing team-mateMike Torckler.
It was the firstofficial hit out for NewZealand’s Pure BlackRacing team on theirreturn from the US.
The pro team notonly filled the podiumbut took out six of thetop 10 spots to completea good first day of racingin the new New Zealandseason.
Dan Barry came inthird, while MikeNorthey led in the origi-nal break group to takefourth.
Pure Black Racing’sMark Langlands (TASports) finished sixthand Taylor Gunmanseventh.
Gudsell told theCourier that he wasthrilled to win at homeagain.
He commented thatformer Te AwamutuOpen winner MikeNorthey had produced a‘huge ride’ coming backfrom a major knee
injury and riding withthe team for the firsttime since before the USseason.
Northey had himworking pretty hard allthe way to the finish, hesaid.
A break of 15 riders,including six from PureBlack Racing, got awayearly and quickly builtup a lead of nearly two
minutes.With around 70kms
to go Torckler slippedoff the front and gotclear.
He was joined 15kmlater by Gudsell whohad ridden across tojoin him with a bigeffort on the last bigclimb of the day.
From there, the twoof them made it a race
between themselves allthe way to the finish.
The Pure BlackRacing team ispreparing for the JaycoHerald Sun Tour in Mel-bourne next month.They have a week longtraining camp inHawke’s Bay before par-ticipating in the centen-nial race around MountEgmont next weekend.
Reid one off golfing goal
TC041011SP15b
STUART REID
Stuart Reid had to call on allhis immense experience to claimhis 29th senior match play titleat Ngahinapouri Golf Club.
It took a birdie on the 36thand final hole to secure the winover this year’s formidableopponent Greg Bowden.
Club scribe Colin Cowanreports that Reid was very com-plimentary of Bowden’s consist-ent form throughout the year.
Reid commented that it wouldhave been one of his most hardfought and enjoyable finalmatches for many years.
He made mention of the factthat he is now only one cham-pionship away from his personalgoal of 30 senior wins.
The clubhouse honoursboard, however, records one of
his triumphs as a junior cham-pionship win in the 1960s.
Now aged 66, Reid is alsolooking forward to shooting hisage, an achievement most of hisfriends and supporters atNgahinapouri agree won’t bethat far away.

CANOEISTS vie for honours at Ngaroto.270911SP16C
BOATS do battle.
Lake Ngaroto, usually homewater to local yachts and rowingskiffs, hosted craft of a differenttype earlier this month when itwas the venue for ScoutingWaikato’s 39th Annual Spring SeaScout Regatta.
This regatta was established in1972 as a beginning of the season‘fun’ event with no points ortrophies, but as a chance to get theboats out after the winter layupand to give new members a taste ofcompetition on safe waters.
The event, usually held onHamilton’s Lake Rotoroa, wasshifted to Te Awamutu this yearbecause of the toxic algae bloomon Hamilton’s lake.
The regatta involves SeaScouts and Young Mariners,(girls’ version of Sea Scouts),rowing and sailing the ‘17 foot’
standard Sea Scout Cutters, Sun-burst yachts and also canoes.
This year 10 groups from Auck-land, South Waikato and Bay ofPlenty, hosted by St Peter’s SeaScouts from Hamilton, enjoyed theexcellent facilities offered by theNgaroto Sailing Club.
Well over 100 young folkenjoyed a day of intense competi-tion under ideal conditions.
The regatta involves age-grouped events covering rowingraces in the Cutters interspersedwith canoe races in the morning.
Afternoon events are sailingraces with the Cutters alternatingwith the Sunbursts.
With an emphasis on skillstraining, crews are required to rigand adjust their boats with aminimum of adult supervision.
Once advised of the sailingcourse, skippers are then left toplan their own tactics for the best
results.The very light winds on this
occasion really tested their skillsand there were some closefinishes.
All the visiting groups were soimpressed with the facilitiesoffered at Lake Ngaroto that thereare now requests to make that thepermanent venue.
Scouting Waikato, the Leadersand Scouts of the visiting groupswere all very appreciative of thefine hospitality shown by theNgaroto Sailing Club and particu-larly of the help and encourage-ment provided by Club Commo-dore, Owen Johnston.
Always held on the secondweekend in September, if itreturns to Ngaroto for the 40thregatta, prior notice of the eventswill be given in the Courier andthe public will be welcome to visitthe lake and enjoy the spectacle.
