Don’t dump the cost on ratepayersI attended a gathering regarding

Curbside Cuisine that has been invitedto set up in town on Friday nights.

The mayor gave the impression he isall in favour of these carts coming intotown, it may encourage other shopowners to open later to serve the publicthat are about at that time.

He said he would like to revert backto the late night Friday and leaveSaturday and Sunday for sport andmowing the lawn.

Another lady came along with themayor to speak on the subject, she wassaying how good it is being supported inRotorua, that it has been termed theireighth trading day.

You cannot compare the two towns,Rotorua is a tourist town.

There are about eight carts at themoment, but when asked how many itcould lead to, the mayor gave theimpression there could be many more sothey might move to Market St and closeoff the street to vehicular traffic.

Long before these mobile food cartscame to town, Te Awamutu was referredto as TA and even then TA was referringnot to Te Awamutu, but to Take Aways.

Now there seems to be in somepersons’ minds that we need more.

There are some things that needexplaining.• The ongoing health and safety checksthat food outlets are required to adhereto, are these mobile units governed bythe same legislation?• Shops have outgoings from their

income, ie. rates, rent, etc, whereasthese fly by nights don’t. Is this beingfair to our local shops?• Local shopkeepers generally spend inthe town, these others don’t, they taketheir income back to their own domains.Where has the “Support Local” gone?• The extra cost that the ratepayer in TeAwamutu must pay, ie. traffic manage-ment, security and rubbish clean-upafter the weekly event.

When I questioned the mayor aboutthis he said that those costs are thereanyway.

Whatever happened to user pays? Letthe Curbside Cuisine crowd pay theirway, don’t dump the cost on the rate-payer.

Getting serious about climatechange for the environment

I would like to remind Keith Braunthat gorse and blackberry will always bewith us.

Keep your loppers sharp and resistspraying while you are enjoying thenewly revealed rocks in the stream.

Remove dead branches and plantwatercress. Streams will rise and fall,and carry less silt and pollutants whenprotected.

A stream isn’t always as clean as itlooks. Read Bala Tikkisetty’s column —Te Awamutu Courier — P8 18\07.

I see most family farms as sustainably

profitable, but many a farm now is runlike a business that must keep growingregardless of harm to the environment.

Foolish thinking causes millions to bespent on supporting dairy farm expan-sion and mining, spending more onillness than on health promotion, payingmore people to punish and penalise thanto anticipate and prevent lawbreaking.The list goes on.

We need to take climate change seri-ously. The longer we dodder about, theharder it will be for us to adapt.

JUNE BRIGHT

Road wideningIsn’t it interesting seeing all the work

that has been done between here and theairport turn-off?

I could see the benefit of widening theroad for a safer turn-off at the various sideroads, but other than that I think theyhave just spent a huge amount of moneyon what was already a very good road.

What makes this road so dangerouswhen all the roads south of Te Awamutuare two lane, 100km/h with side roads asnormal? After closing parts of the fourlanes down to two lanes they then widenthe sides to put barriers up. If they hadwidened it first they would have had roomto put a concrete barrier down the middleor a wide double lane. It amazes me.

Come star gazingwith Space Dave

TC250717DT10SPACE DAVE is hopingthe weather plays it’s partso he can use histelescopes at tomorrownight’s star gazing eventat Te Awamutu Library.

BY DEAN TAYLOR

Te Awamutu SpaceCentre owner Dave Owen ispresenting Star Gazingwith Space Dave at the TeAwamutu Librarytomorrow evening to helppeople find the importantobjects in our wintersky.

Mr Owen says he willstart with a talk in theCommunity Room to goover the basic concepts ofstar gazing and what youcan see in the night sky —even with the naked eye.

He says the talk willexplain Earth’s place in thesolar system, themovements of stars andplanets and how to identifysome of the common starsand plants, such as theSouthern Cross and the bigwinter constellation,Scorpius.

Mr Owen will also talkabout Matariki — but thatis only visible in the morn-ing at this time of the year.

The viewing is weatherdependant, but Space Davehopes to be able to getoutside under a clear skyand get people doing nakedeye observing — as well asusing a telescope.

The free event starts at6.30pm and is aimed at olderstudents and adults —although everyone is wel-come.

Offenders upskill their first aidFirst Aid courses could prove to be a life saver

for eight offenders who recently completed anNZQA accredited first aid certificate at the TeAwamutu Corrections Centre.

The offenders learnt immediate and basic lifesupport and CPR.

A first aid certificate can make offenders moreattractive to potential employers, Correctionsof fender recruitment consultant MaxineSandilands says.

“I think most employers appreciate candidateswho engage in further study. It not only shows awillingness to learn, but a commitment to self-improvement. When you have a criminal recordthis becomes even more important and to approach

this learning with such a positive attitude showsjust how willing these offenders are to change.They just need a second chance.”

The First Aid certificate is part of a nationalprogramme that includes courses on road safety,health and wellbeing, education and employment,driver licensing, alcohol and other drugs andfinance and budgeting.

M s S a n d i l a n d s w o r k s w i t h t h e e i g h tparticipants to find employment based on theirskills, location and available jobs.

Bevin toughs it out on Tour

TC250717SP04X-RAY of PatrickBevin’s broken footsuffered on day one ofTour de France.

GETTY IMAGESROSETOWN rider Patrick Bevin competing in his first Tour de France.

Te Awamutu Sports Club rider PatrickBevin is in for a substantial pay chequeafter assisting his Cannondale team-mateRigoberto Uran to place second behindTour de France winner Chris Froome.

Bevin has revealed just how tough youhave to be to finish the Tour de France,completing the 3540km journey with abroken foot.

In his first tour, Bevin finished 114th,three hours 23 minutes behind winningBriton Chris Froome, who captured hisfourth consecutive title in Paris onSunday.

But before mounting up for the final103km stage, Bevin posted an x-ray of hisleft foot and the chipped toe that hasplagued him since day one.

“Just a little reminder of Dusseldorfthat has followed me every pedal stroke ofthe #TDF2017,” he tweeted.

Taupo-born Bevin moved to Cam-bridge to pursue his cycling ambitions in2014, basing himself more recently in TeAwamutu.

He was one of several riders who fellduring a wetand slipperyopening timetrial inGermany, butpicked him-self up to fin-ish and thenperseveredthrough thepain for threeweeks.

FellowKiwi GeorgeBennett wasanother to fallon that open-ing stage, buthe was forcedto withdrawill in the finalweek, whilesitting in 12thplace.

On his fourth Tour, Jack Bauer wasthe first Kiwi home overall in 105th,having spent most of the event supportingsprinter Marcel Kittel, who won fivestages before crashing on stage 17 andwithdrawing.

Debutant Dion Smith was the fourthKiwi in 124th, featuring in an unsuccess-ful breakaway on the final day.

The TV commentators covering thefinal stage for SKY Sport commented thatthey ‘breed them tough in Kiwi-land’ inreference to Bevin riding all but the firststage with a broken foot.

Bevin also cracked a tooth in the fall onday one. He had the tooth taken out on thefirst rest day of the Tour.

On the second rest day he had his footscanned, revealing the broken bone.

In the second year of his two-yearcontract with Cannondale, Bevin wasnever going to pull the plug on his debutappearance in the Tour.

Showing tremendous courage, grit anddetermination, the 26-year-old finished114th out of 167 — helping Cannondale toseventh team placing. All nine membersof his team who started finished thejourney. The good news for Bevin is he’sgoing to profit from working as adomestique for his team-mate, ColombianUran who placed second, 54 secondsbehind the Tour winner Froome.

A domestique works for the benefit ofhis team and leader, rather than trying towin the race. Domestique translates as‘servant’.

Bevin’s girlfriend, Abby Smith of TeAwamutu, is his No. 1 supporter.

She is overseas and covered the Tour.Her parents, Paul and Karen Smith,

along with Peter and Tracy Thompson aresoon to embark on an overseas holiday,meeting up with Bevin and Abby inGirona, about two hours out of Barcelonain September.

Corey does his bit tohelp clean up our townBY BETHANY ROLSTON

TC250717BR04TE AWAMUTU man Corey Phillips is passionate about keeping Te Awamutu clean.

Every week Corey Phillips voluntar-ily puts on a pair of gloves and startscollecting rubbish around the streets ofTe Awamutu.

The 27-year-old has a message forhis town: Please take care of Te Awa-mutu.

Corey has lived in Te Awamutu forthe last two years.

He says it’s time people stoppedlittering.

“People think the side of the roadsare a rubbish dump,” he says.

“Te Awamutu is not a junkyard —please take care and pride.”

One day he filled three rubbish bagsin one hour.

“It makes me angry. People mightkill beautiful birds by littering.

“It’s not safe to throw rubbish.”He says he’d like to see more bins

around town and wants to organise aclean-up event.

Corey is supported by ConneXu, alocal organisation that supports adultswith an intellectual disability in arange of different circumstances and ina variety of ways.

ConneXu operations manager KateShaw says Corey is an asset to TeAwamutu.

“Corey’s really proud of the com-munity he lives in,” she says.

“For him, it’s really important thatthe town is clean and beautiful.”

She says the stigma around peoplewith disabilities can sometimes benegative.

“People with disabilities don’t takefrom the community.

“They actually give back and

strengthen the communities they live in.”ConneXu’s mission is to collaborate

with people to create and sustain a life that

is meaningful to them, she says.“Our vision is ‘communities where

people are empowered’.”

Look outfor thechildren

Brake, the road safety charity, isreminding drivers to slow down andlook out for kids as schools andkindergartens return.

Brake is calling on drivers to slowdown to 30km/h outside schools tohelp protect young lives. At speeds ofunder 30km/h drivers have a muchbetter chance of being able to stop intime if a child runs out than at higherspeeds.

The charity is also remindingdrivers about the 20km/h speed limitin both directions if passing a schoolbus that has stopped to let children onor off.

Brake NZ director Caroline Perrysays the death of a child on the road isdevastating and it reminds driversthey have a responsibility to doeverything to protect other roadusers.

“This means slowing downaround schools and in communitiesto help keep kids safe,” she says.“Children can be unpredictable sodrivers need to give the road their fullattention.

“Many schools have lower speedlimits around them but we urgedrivers to commit to slowing downeven further, to 30km/h, so they aremuch more likely to stop in time if achild runs out, and if they do hit, thechild is far more likely to survive.”

Parents can also teach road safetymessages such as holding hands withyoung children, safety when crossingthe road and using stop, look andlisten, crossing only at designatedcrossing points, or at safe places,taking headphones off and not using aphone when crossing.

Sharing a passion for rearing calves

TC250717SPBBKORAKONUI boy Boyd Ferguson meets Pukekohe manBarry Liddle.

TC250717BR0512-YEAR-OLD Boyd Ferguson with his two new jersey yearling heifers.

BY BETHANY ROLSTON

A random act of kind-ness brightened up theschool holidays for 12-year-old Boyd Ferguson ofKorakonui School.

Last week Boyd wasgiven two jersey yearlingheifers by 85-year-oldPukekohe man BarryLiddle.

Although Boyd and MrLiddle are 73 years apartand complete strangers,they share a passion forbreeding and showing

calves.Mr Liddle had noticed

Boyd showing at New Zea-land Dairy Events over thelast few years and wasimpressed by his ability.

“He’s a fine young fel-low — totally dedicated,”Mr Liddle says.

“He reminded me a bitof myself at the same age.”

Last month Mr Liddlesent a letter to New Zea-land Stud Livestock agentBrian Robinson.

He said he wished togive Boyd two heifers, des-

pite never meeting him.When Mr Liddle was 11

years old, he was givenencouragement and kind-ness from veteranbreeders.

“There were elderlybreeders when I was youngwho gave me a hand — youappreciate the encourage-ment.”

He always wanted to dothe same and “completethe circle”.

Last week Boyd and hisparents, John and Kate,travelled to Pukekohe with

Brian Robinson.They met Mr Liddle, his

wife Betty and the twoheifers, named DoubleAces and Lynleigh CJClara (pictured).

Mr Liddle gave Boydcatalogues and photos ofcows and wrote out thegenerations of their pedi-gree for Boyd.

He hopes one of theheifers will be good enoughfor Boyd to exhibit.

Mr Liddle grew up on a3ha lifestyle block in Puke-kohe and now has 10 grand-children.

“None of them have gotthe jersey bug, so it’s niceto find someone who does.”

Boyd wants to carry onthe tradition when he is 85years old — and Mr Liddleis delighted.

“I won’t be here to see it,but it would be nice if hedid.”

Boyd became interestedin showing cows when hewas five years old.

Each year since then hehas reared a calf for calfclub and group day.

Some have been usedfor showing and others arejust his “paddock friends”.Boyd admits he chats to hiscows regularly and spendshours with them afterschool.

He gets to pick whichbull he uses in breedingand can’t wait to see whatis born.

In 2015 his heifer calfwas registered with hisown prefix and stud name— Five Star Genetics.

But it’s not just cows

that Boyd and Mr Liddlehave in common — theyboth love rugby.

Boyd is in the Te Awa-mutu Gwynne Shieldrugby team. He was one offive Te Awamutu boysnamed in the 22-strongCountry team to play atrial game against the Cityteam.

It turns out that MrLiddle played for RollerMills when he was Boyd’sage.

Boyd says he is gratefulfor the kindness he hasreceived from many olderbreeders. He says MrLiddle’s act of kindnesshas taught him an import-ant lesson.

“You always need tolook smart, show respectand do your best as younever know who iswatching you. It might bein the show ring, the rugbyfield or just being in thecommunity.”

Almost unchanged from its150-million-year-old fossilised rela-tives, these little battlers areamong the world’s oldest frogs andin desperate need of help.

And help is now on the way,thanks to the Battle for our Birdscampaign.

Whareorino 2017 is a Battle forour Frogs, which will protectArchey’s and Hochstetter’s frogs,long-tail bats and importantmountains-to-sea forestcatchments.

Partners Department of Con-servation (DOC) and WaikatoRegional Council (WRC) aim toimprove biodiversity, maintaincatchment health and enhanceproduction. Adopting best practiceand working together extends thebenefits of pest control and reducespossum reinvasion.

The 30,000ha operation area isthe last stronghold for Archey’sfrogs.Archey’s history

The Whareorino range lies in

the western King Country,between Marokopa and Awakino,and holds key populations ofArchey’s frog (Leiopelma archeyi)and cousin Hochstetter’s frog(Leiopelma hochstetteri), andmany other special plants andanimals.

Archey’s are the smallest ofNew Zealand’s four species ofnative frogs, and this nocturnalmaster of camouflage was firstdescribed as a separate species in1942.

Mottled colours of red, greenand brown make up the colour ofthe Archey’s skin — patterns sodistinctive and different DOC usesthese to individually identify thefrogs in a monitoring programmethat has been conducted for wellover a decade.

Archey’s frogs make a tastymeal for rats. Researchers havefound dead frogs with rat bitemarks, and frogs in the stomachsof dead rats.

Other potential predators toArchey’s are pigs, stoats,hedgehogs, possums, cats and

introduced frogs.To fight the decline and give

Archey’s a sporting chance, acombination of intensive groundpest control and an aerial 1080operation will be used. Controllingrats and possums before the breed-ing season increases the breedingsuccess of frogs, bats, and nativebirds.

For Archey’s, a 1080 operationwill reduce rat numbers over ashort timeframe and allow a break

for the ground-based control untilrat numbers increase again.Pest control plans

A range of pest control methodswill be used including traps andtoxins, depending on the specificlocations and landowner prefer-ences.

For control on private land,control methods have been agreedwith the landowner or occupier.

For larger tracts of land, aerialapplication of 1080 baits is the mostcost-effective predator controlmethod and the only viablemethod in rugged terrain.

Aerial 1080 pest control willtarget rats and possums, and stoatswill be eliminated through eatingpoisoned rodent carcasses.

Aerial operations will beginwith a pre-feed of non-toxic baits toencourage rats and possums to eatthe 1080 baits applied at a laterdate.Staying safe

The pesticides used for aerialpredator control are poisonous tohumans and domestic animals.Poisoning can occur through eat-

ing cereal baits or poisonedanimals.

Dogs are highly susceptible to1080. The risk to dogs frompoisoned carcasses will remainuntil they have completely rottedaway.

These risks can be eliminatedby following these simple rules:■ Do not touch bait.■ Watch children at all times.■ Do not eat animals from thisarea.■ Poison baits or carcasses aredeadly to dogs.

Observe these rules wheneveryou see warning signs aboutpesticides. When signs areremoved, you can resume normalactivities in the area.

The rat control programme atWhareorino Forest is a nationallyimportant native frog conserva-tion project.

The pest control outcomesrepresent a model for Archey’sfrog conservation in mainlandNew Zealand — the closest to amainland frog sanctuary in NewZealand.

Chiefs rugby analyst off to Sydney

TC250717SP09CHIEFS: Mark Ray and Liam Messam analysing training footage atthe Chiefs’ Ruakura base.

Te Awamutu referee scores top job in SANZAAR rugby performance analysisBY COLIN THORSEN

The rugby analyst world is TeAwamutu referee Mark Ray’soyster.

The 27-year-old is moving toSydney in September to take uphis role as South Africa, Austra-lian and New Zealand Rugbyanalyst after attending nextmonth’s Women’s Rugby WorldCup in Ireland as NZ Rugbyperformance analyst.

Ray will work alongside Lyn-don Bray (SANZAAR game mana-ger) and Andy Marions(SANZAAR CEO) in Sydney,looking at the analysis of SuperRugby, the Championship Inter-national Series and all SANZAARreferee performances.

It is a feather in Ray’s cap thathe got the nod after a lengthyinterview process spanning fivemonths — there was an overoverwhelming number ofapplicants from all around theworld apply for this position.

“Lyndon’s high execution andexpectations of professionalism issomething I am looking forwardto being associated with,” Raytold the Courier.

“I want to challenge myselfprofessionally in the bestenvironment I can find.

“After my time here as aperformance analyst for theChiefs, the next step is helpingimprove the competition theChiefs play in.”

SANZAAR has only recentlycreated this role to provide ref-eree and competition analysis forthe SANZAAR competitions.

Analysing trends will enable

the game manager to driveimprovements in the perform-ance of the referees and shape theSuper Rugby competition.

“As a proud Te Awamuturugby referee and Chiefs’ per-formance analyst, this opportun-ity to combine both sides of therugby spectrum excites me.”

Ray has worked for the Wai-kato Rugby Union since the age of16. For the past seven years hehas been head technical analystof Waikato’s NPC squads.

The Chiefs gave him theopportunity to join their perform-ance analyst Regan Hall, in 2014.

“I have been privileged tolearn from the likes of WayneSmith, Dave Rennie and scrumcoach Carl Hoeft.”

Ray is looking forward to thechallenge he faces at the Women’sRugby World Cup in Ireland. Hewas approached by NZ Rugby lastyear to assist and support theBlack Ferns throughout theirtrans-Tasman series vs Australiaand Northern tour.

His CV makes impressivereading.

Highlights working for Wai-kato Rugby include making theITM Cup final vs Canterbury in2011, Ranfurly Shield challengerand winner against Taranaki2012, Ranfurly Shield challengerand winning vs Hawkes Bay 2015.

Achievements for the Chiefsinclude Super Rugby playoffs2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, Interna-tional victory over Wales 2016and winning the inauguralBrisbane Global Rugby Tens titleearlier this year.

“I have been lucky enough to

be given an opportunity to workin this industry. Through hardwork and my love of rugby, thefoot in the rugby door has helpedme open more doors than I couldever have imagined.”

As a young rugby player in TeAwamutu, Ray made the localBowers Cup, Goldfields Cup andGwynne Shield representative

teams before moving on to Hamil-ton Boys’ High School.

While playing throughoutHigh School, he developedarthritis. His on-going spinehealth issues plagued his sport-ing career, forcing him to pull theplug as a player in his teens.

In 2009, five years after lastplaying rugby, he was encour-

aged to exercise.He decided to try something

different, giving back to the sporthe loves, becoming a rugby ref-eree.

He was awarded Best FirstYear Referee for the Waikato in2009 and Te Awamutu RugbyReferees Association MostImproved Referee in 2011.

In 2014 he refereed his firstWaikato premier A game and in2015 refereed the Waikatopremier B final.

Among the refereeing, he alsohelped coach Te Awamutu Maristto Waikato Rugby division twotitles in 2010 and 2011.

Ray has worked hard toadvance his refereeing career andhopes to continue refereeing inSydney

“Here in the Waikato, due topolitics and peoples’ characteris-tics, I’ve reduced my activerefereeing.”

He encourages retiringplayers to give back to the gamethey have played and giverefereeing a go.

“I love working for the Chiefs.It was a hard decision to makeapplying for the SANZAAR rolein Sydney but one I know willhelp my personal growth. I hopeto return to the Chiefs in thefuture.”

The Black Ferns go into campFriday and fly out for Ireland onAugust 1.

Ray will be joined at theAuckland camp by Te Awamutu’sCarla Hohepa, a late addition tothe Black Ferns after proving herfitness following knee reconstruc-tion surgery and rehab.

LENF

Jack Daniel's believed "Every day we make it, we'll make itthe best we can." For Jack, that meant mellowing his whis-key, drop by drop, through 10 feet of sugarmaple charcoal.Seven generations later, they still mellow the whiskey justas Mr. Jack did. The reason is simple - it imparts a distinc-tive smoothness folks have come to expect of Jack Dan-iel’s charcoal mellowing which makes Jack Daniel’s what itis - a Tennessee Whiskey, and not a Bourbon. It refines thewhiskey’s rich flavour even before it is fully matured in bar-rels of their ownmaking. Yes, it’s a painstaking process thatdemands extra attention andmakes the whiskey a bit morecostly to craft. But Mr. Jack wouldn’t have it any other way.

Jockey set for Singapore

TC250717SP11BFOLLOWING in his father’sfootsteps, Craig Grylls off toSingapore.

Te Awamutu jockey CraigGrylls has been well-grounded forhis introduction to Singaporeracing.

His father Gary rode at the oldBukit Timah course in the late1980s. He has been one of the pushfactors towards this current CraigGrylls move to a new huntingground.

“I wasn’t born when my dadrode here, but he’s told me allabout the place and has alwaysencouraged me to strive to getmore riding experience in a differ-ent racing jurisdiction, and Singa-pore was one of them,” Grylls toldthe Singapore Turf Club.

“I spent three seasons inQueensland during the Brisbanewinter carnival from 2008 to 2010. Ialso rode in Macau for threemonths and rode around eight tonine winners there.

“Singapore was on my radarafter Grant Cooksley put the ideain my head a couple of years ago. Imade an unsuccessful applicationlast year, but I got accepted thistime.

“I’ve also spoken to MichaelColeman about the place. He rodeat the old track but did ride for oneday at Kranji [Singapore Guineasday in 2012] and he also gave me afew pointers.”

A winner of more than 700races in 11 years of riding thatbegan in Te Awamutu, Grylls rodetrackwork at Kranji for the firsttime this week and will debut onraceday this weekend.

“It’s great to be here. I arrivedlast Thursday and was at the raceslast weekend,” said Grylls, whoseSwedish wife Milou will join himnext month.

“I was really impressed by theracing, the track, the atmosphere.I can’t wait to get on my firstrides,” he said.

Grylls, who has a three-monthcontract, has ridden 46 Group andListed winners, eight at GroupOne level. His highlights includesuccesses in the Diamond Stakes,Manawatu Sires Produce, NewZealand Thoroughbred Breeders,NRM Sprint, Wellington Cup andthe Thorndon Mile.

Before leaving, Grylls sat ineighth position with 64 winners onthe New Zealand jockeys’ premier-ship, one winner clear of 2006Singapore champion jockey Markdu Plessis.

“Singapore is where I want tofocus my career on for now. I wantto ride as many winners as pos-sible, and hopefully, I can thenextend my contract. We’ll see howit goes.”

FOOTNOTE: Grylls placedthird on his second ride in Singa-pore on Sunday.

Cyclist breaks record

TC250717SP11WORLD CLASS: Jaime Nielsen in action during the record one-hour effort at the Avantidrome in Cambridge on Friday night.

Rio Olympic cyclist JaimeNielsen smashed the sea levelworld record for the one-hourride at the Avantidrome in Cam-bridge.

Nielsen, 31, clocked 47.791kmin the hour on Friday nightwhich was 909 metres more thanthe previous world’s best at sealevel by Australian BridieO’Donnell in Adelaide in 2016.

Her time was only 189m lessthan the current world record setat altitude in Colorado Springslast year by American EvelynStevens, a double world teamtime trial champion.

The Te Awamutu Sports Clubrider set a steady pace through-out, reaching 23.740km at thehalfway mark and 35.80km at 45minutes. She responded to the350-strong crowd to push throughthe pain barrier to go pastO’Donnell’s mark and finishwith 47.791km.

“I am so happy it’s over. It wassuch a challenge. I am stoked andI am satisfied. I know I gave it allI can,” said Nielsen.

“I knew it was realistic to getthe sea-level mark. It came downto counting the laps and at onestage I was counting half laps. I’dlove to give it another shot. Atthis stage I am glad it’s over.There were feelings that I had toovercome and I think the crowdhelped me get through in the end.

“I had little patches when thepain would build up but it was amatter of refreshing and gettingback into my rhythm.”

Nielsen will head to Europe inthe coming weeks, hoping to gainselection for the UCI road worldchampionships in the time trial,before returning to New Zealandto try to gain selection for nextyear’s Commonwealth Games.

TA College rule show hunter roostBreanna Young led equestrian team cream of crop in North Island

TC250717SP13NORTH ISLAND SecondarySchools’ show hunter cham-pions, Te Awamutu College,from left, Georgia Young,Breanna Young (captain) andTegan Walmsley with theirtrophies. Absent from teamphoto: Tanesha Swinton.

BY COLIN THORSEN

Te Awamutu College upstagedequestrian powerhouses WaikatoDiocesan and St Peter’s, winningthe North Island SecondarySchools’ Show Hunter Champion-ships.

The team of Tanesha Swinton,Tegan Walmsley, Breanna Young(captain) and Georgia Youngcovered themselves in gloryfinishing first with 61.6 points,closely followed by WaikatoDiocesan on 61.3 and third placedSt Peter’s College with 57.5.

Breanna Young led byexample, capping her day bywinning the individual overallhigh points prize run over threeevents for the Waikato riders.

“The girls couldn’t be happier,it was an outstanding achieve-ment and something the eques-trian team has been workingtowards over the last couple ofyears,” teacher in charge ofequestrian, Candice Barker, toldthe Courier.

“It was a very close competi-tion, the girls knew they were upby two points halfway throughthe day.

“All our riders placed in thetop three for one of their classes,

while the majority of them placedin both classes.”

The Show Hunter has horseand rider compete over a courseof 10 fences. They are judged ontheir execution and style over thefence and around the course.

The riders enter differentheights depending on what thehorse and rider combination iscapable of. They must choose twoof the five heights to compete in.

The teams of four vie forpoints from first (10 points) downto 10th (one point). The team withthe highest amount of pointswins.

Barker says the girls have tokeep their ponies in work overthe cold winter.

They competed in three warm-up competitions over the sixweeks prior to the NISS competi-tion, ironing out any issues and

placing in two of these events.The team was made up of a

Year 9, Year 10, Year 11 and aYear 12 student — a mix of youthand experience.

“The Show Hunter Champion-ship was the major target for theyear but we encouraged thestudents to participate in anyevent they are interested in,including the Waikato SecondarySchools Show Jumping Champsand North Island SecondarySchools Dressage,” said Barker.

“We have about 10 riders all upwho represent Te Awamutu Col-lege in a range of competitionsthroughout the year. We hadother riders who also competedthroughout the warmup series.”

Barker said she gets to enterthese ‘lovely students’ but theirparents and personal coaches putin lots of time and hard workbehind the scene.

Amanood LadCup winner

Amanood Lad, trained by PaulNelson at Hastings for John andShirley Blair of Puketaua, earnedtop honours in the Grant Plumb-ing Wellington Steeplechase.

The race was incorporated intothe Hawke’s Bay programme onThursday after last Saturday’smeeting at Trentham was aban-doned. Amanood Lad travelledeasily behind the pace beforejockey Aaron Kuru made his moveacross the top.

“He stayed switched onthroughout and there was a gap atthe 600 and he shot through,” saidKuru. “I thought I might have gotrun down, but to his credit he dugdeep and won well. It’s veryspecial. I grew up here.”

“He looked well, I couldn’tbelieve it,” said Kuru. “Paul hasdone a great job with him. It wasonly his third run back and he had70kg over 5500m.”

Amanood Lad was dogged tothe line to hold Wise Men Say’schallenge at bay, with Nells Belltaking third.

Nelson and Kuru dined out on ahuge dose of double delight atHastings, bagging both prestigejumping events.

The Hastings trainer and thenow Cambridge-based jockeycombined with The Shackler toalso win the Anuka Smoker Well-ington Hurdles.
