Further setback for supermarket plans An appeal to the High Court is set to delay further the Pak ‘n’ Save Supermarket shopping complex proposed for Te Awamutu. Foodstuffs (Auckland) Limited says it is disappointed in the decision of General Distribu- tors Limited, a subsidiary to Australian owned Progressive Enterprises Limited, to appeal to the High Court the Environment Court decision to rezone the Cambridge Road land. Progressive Enterprises owns the Te Awa- mutu Woolworths, and supplies the only other Te Awamutu supermarket, Fresh Choice. The planned Pak ‘n’ Save supermarket and fuel outlet is proposed as part of a new retail development for Te Awamutu, with a range of other retail outlets also on the site. Construction was scheduled to start early next year, following the recent Environment Court decision to allow the rezoning (which had been approved by Waipa District Council) . The Plan Change for the project was approved by Waipa District Council in December, 2006 but a number of appeals were lodged, and were heard by the Environment Court, which then issued its decision supporting the plan change proposal. The latest appeal will delay construction further. The appellant states that it believes the decision by the Environment Court is ‘‘erroneous in law’’. Site developer Bilimag Holdings is frustrated, says managing director Andrew Guthrie. ‘‘This is a terrible letdown for the Te Awamutu community. This development is set to house several retail outlets, not just the Pak ‘n’ Save, and this latest appeal is delaying the whole lot.’’ Foodstuffs (Auckland) general manager prop- erty development, Murray Jordan says the appeal will disappoint Te Awamutu residents. ‘‘Many Te Awamutu shoppers travel to Hamilton in search of Pak ‘n’ Save’s low prices. This further delay will feel like a long time to wait for the community.’’ The Environment Court decision confirmed the rezoning of the site from Residential and Rural to a General Zone. A resource consent process for the Pak ‘n’ Save was set to commence, but will now be put on hold. Waipa District Mayor Alan Livingston today reiterated his support for the original decision to approve the plan change. ‘‘Council has provided its support to the Bilimag proposal, and there is a community expectation that it will get underway and be really positive for the town. This delay is disappointing, but the decision has been chal- lenged on a point of law and must run its course.’’ Hearing dates for the appeal have not been confirmed at this stage. Genetics unkind to Amy TC310708DT01 (Right) FOR 21-month-old Amy Ross bouncing on the bed isn’t just fun - it is therapy to help cope with the effects of cystic fibrosis. BY DEAN TAYLOR Two years ago Genaia and Hamish Ross were excitedly await- ing the birth of their third child. Little did they know that as carriers of the cystic fibrosis gene their new baby was going to be born with the disorder that would change their lives. The Ross’ had two healthy chil- dren Hayley (now eight) and James (now three) — and Mrs Ross had taken steps towards becoming a midwife as a new career after she gave birth. She says when she got the call from medical staff saying Amy wasn’t thriving panic set in. The diagnosis meant she has been a full-time nurse to her daugh- ter and she thought her life and dreams for a career were over. Yesterday was the start of Cystic Fibrosis Awareness Week a chance for the public to find out more about New Zealand’s most common genetic disorder, which affects one in every 3500 births, and how they can help sufferers live better and longer. The cystic fibrosis gene was discovered in 1989. It is a European disease which is thought to have evolved in the fourth century dur- ing a cholera outbreak. All cystic fibrosis sufferers are immune to cholera. Mrs Ross says that is little compensation for suffering from a disease which creates ongoing and life threatening problems. People with cystic fibrosis have a life expectancy in the early 30s, although the Ross’ are pinning their hopes for Amy on more and better research extending that. The condition causes serious lung problems, because of a con- tinuous build up of thick mucus, with the secondary condition being digestive problems. The mucus is an ideal breeding ground for bugs, so sufferers are also susceptible to infection. Amy is on daily medication, including enzymes to aid digestion, and has twice daily physiotherapy, such as chest massage and bounc- ing exercises, to shift the build up of mucus off her chest. Help for families and sufferers is via the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation which operates throughout New Zealand. In the Waikato there are know to be 18 children and 19 adults with the condition. Mrs Ross says the families of the children are most active within the Waikato organisation and most are running fundraising activities. In Te Awamutu there is a saus- age sizzle this Saturday at The Warehouse. As well there will be egg and bacon butties for sale and a cake stall. Local hip-hop dance group Imperious will perform weather permitting. The Ross’ are also taking book- ings for family photographic sit- tings at $15 each in their home on Saturday, August 16. The Portrait Company will donate proceeds to the Cystic Fibrosis Association. To book contact Mrs Ross (870 6233 or 021 02791440).

Your Letters

Rates should be ‘bypassed’ to greatest needOne cannot help but

become embroiled in the cur-rent debate regarding ourmain street.

This is an important issueto the community and anywork done (badly or other-

wise) will be ‘in our face’ for along time.

I didn’t realise that ourmain street footpath was toonarrow — the only areas ofconcern would have to bewhere the Council has sold off

space to retailers/bars/cafes.On certain occasions, I

have witnessed ratepayershaving to walk out on thestreet to pass by the crowds atthe top end of town.

The answer to this issue is

a no-brainer and a relativelycheap option I would havethought.

Spend our rates where theyare more needed (would thatbe the by-pass maybe?).

BRIAN DERBYSHIRE

Leave main street aloneYes, please leave Alexandra Street as it is.I agree completely with F. Bouma, and add that the

trucks and their loads add much interest to the traffic.M. WATSON

Democratic perfection— ‘no problem’

With apologies toLord Alfred Tennyson:

Into the main street ofour beautiful town

Rode six hundredtrucks of recent renown.

On his mightycharger rode councillorMichael.

(Although the other E.Clarke would call it abicycle)

To combat thesegrunting exuders of pol-lution.

He and his colleaguestried hard for the perfectsolution.

Now when the reportsare completed and thechips are all down

Surely it’s up to us allto clean up our town.

So we councillors allwill hear each trucker’sobjection

And promise hard toachieve democratic per-fection.

MICHAEL COX

Lizard vandalism shocksThis weakened we arrived at

work and were dismayed to dis-cover our new lizard had beenvandalised.

We are not so much disappointedfor ourselves, but for Angela andKane at Alexandra Images whospent many months of hard workdesigning and building it or us.

The lizard was not cheap, but

this did not affect our decision to goahead with it as we thought thepeople of this town would appreci-ate it as much as we knew wewould.

To see it so completely disre-spected has been a real kick in theguts, however all we ask is that thefingers be returned.KAREN and the team at ReptilZ

Rubbish removal a real godsendOur thanks to the Courier

for exposing the dumping ofunsaleable rubbish at thecharitable op-shop known asEverybodys Depot (CourierJuly 24).

May we extend our gratefulthanks thanks to the anony-

mous samaritans whoremoved all that rubbish byearly Friday morning.

Our enquiries as to ourmysterious benefector have sofar drawn a blank, but a truckwas certainly involved.

So through your medium,

may we publicly commendtheir generous actions.

The two teams of volun-teers who staff the depot bi-monthly provide an excellentfunction serving their com-munity and are most gratefulfor all the genuine donations

for resale.May we reiterate that all

our profits are distributedwithin our community tobenefit local disabled.

RUTH TAYLOR-LUCASEverybodys Op-shop

Lizard not the only reptileTo the person and any other so

called mates, who decided to gettheir cheap thrills breaking the toesoff our lizard. That may have takenyou a few minutes, but it tookAngela and Kane many months anduntold hours giving us and ourtown something that is a little bitdifferent.

While it may not appeal to

everyone, I would hope that mostpeople would see it as yet anothertalking point we can share withothers outside our communityabout our town.

And now if anyone else decidesto break our lizard ‘Don’t forget tosmile for the camera!’

Petition on truck bylaw presented today

TC040808SP17ROAD HOG: a Dibble Transport big rig has to cross the centreline as it turns from Rewi Street into JacobsStreet, showing the kind of traffic difficulties that would arise if the proposed truck bylaw goes ahead.

BY GRANT JOHNSTON

Council committee hearing from Heart of Te Awamutu submitters today

The Hearing for Heart of TeAwamutu Te Awamutu sub-missions begins today at 9am, withseveral transport firms among theearly oral submissions scheduled.

But ‘first cab off the rank’ is theNew Zealand Road TransportAssociation, expected to providedetails on why the alternatives totrucks using Alexandra Street tomove through the CBD are unsuit-able to heavy traffic.

The local transport operatorswill present a petition to WaipaMayor Alan Livingston, contain-ing over 700 signatures, opposingthe proposed bylaw that would bantrucks from the main street formost daylight hours.

James Ford of Te AwamutuBulk Spreaders, says the transportoperators believe one of Council’sstated functions is to protect thesafety of pedestrians and residentsand sending ‘big rigs’ throughresidential areas is no way toachieve this.

‘‘The safest option at presentfor the trucks and residents is themain street, where all the safetyfeatures are already in place.’’

Mr Ford says following the‘alternate truck route’ drive by onJuly 2, people were contactingtransport operators to see if therewas ‘something they could sign’ toshow their disapproval for theproposed bylaw.

‘‘Many people, especiallyelderly people living on thesestreets, felt the complexity of thesubmission forms made them toodifficult to complete, but felt theyneeded to be heard.’’

The majority of Council’s 180plus submissions on the Heart ofTe Awamutu proposals are aboutthe truck bylaw — transport oper-

ators will be asking for signatureson the petition forms to be treatedas individual submissions.

Oral submissions are sched-uled throughout the day at today’sstrategic planning and develop-ment committee hearing, prior toCouncil discussions on its draftproject priority list and conceptplan tomorrow.

Waipa Mayor Alan Livingstontold the Courier that Heart of TeAwamutu has got local residents’pulses beating.

‘‘It is great that issues are beingpositively debated at the front endof the project, rather than from anegative perspective once finaldecisions have been made,’’ MrLivingston says.

‘‘The Heart of Te Awamutuworking group, with support fromthe projects consultants, put in alarge amount of time to considerthe strategic planning of centralTe Awamutu — its needs, oppor-tunities, retail, vehicle and pedes-trian traffic, physical and finan-cial constraints.

‘‘This is the one opportunity todetermine the direction of centralTe Awamutu, the heart of TeAwamutu for the next 20-30 yearsso it is imperative that Counciland the community arrive at thebest possible outcome.

‘‘Since the draft design conceptand prioritised programme ofworks was released for publiccomment there has been plenty ofpositive discussion and considera-tion of the implications of certainactions, such as excluding heavytrucks from the main street.

‘‘Many of the submissions givean emphasis to heavy trucks onthe main street and the westernbypass.

‘‘But we must not lose sight ofthe other projects that also contri-

bute to the business recreation,heritage and sporting opportun-ities for Te Awamutu.’’

After considering the sub-missions the committee has thetask of determining the design

concept and priority of projectswith those recommendations, thengoing to Council for final consid-eration.

‘‘This is a public process sothere is every opportunity to fol-

low progress,’’ Mr Livingstonsays.

‘‘Decisions have to be made,taking into account all informa-tion to hand and expert advice, forthe benefit of our town.’’

Close watch being kept on swollen riversWeekend road washout reduces Kawhia highway to one lane

TC040808SP16SUSPENDED: State Highway 31 to Kawhia suffered a number of major washouts early Sunday, with the worst being this section about onekilometre on the Kawhia side of the lookout. Traffic has been restricted to one lane through that road section and is expected to be that wayfor up to two months as major remedial work is assessed, planned and carried out.

BY GRANT JOHNSTON

Heavy rainfall this week couldsee swollen rivers burst theirbanks.

‘‘Water is still being containedwithin Environment Waikato’sstop banks along the Waipa andWaikato Rivers, but the rivers arestill rising and we’re asking peopleto be aware they may well remainhigh throughout theweek,’’Environment Waikatoemergency management officerAdam Munro says.

Environment Waikato’s emer-gency response team remains onheightened alert as heavy raincontinues to fall on Lake Taupoand river catchments, as well ason saturated pastures. They havebeen working on around-the-clockstandby to keep flood pumpsgoing.

Lake Taupo is still below itsmaximum operating level andEnvironment Waikato staff havebeen liaising with Mighty RiverPower to manage Waikato Riverflows as much as possible whilerain has continued to fall in theregion.

‘‘We are doing our best toensure extra flows from a nearlyfull Lake Taupo and hydroschemes in the upper WaikatoRiver don’t create additional prob-lems further downstream.’’

There are more showers fore-cast for the region this week, but,according to the MetService, theyare not expected to be heavy untilFriday. Environment Waikato ishoping this will provide somerespite for river systems andsaturated catchments.

Farmers and other land ownersnear the Waipa and Waikatorivers can expect ponding on theirproperties to last several moredays as the flood peak following

recent storms works its waythrough the system.

Mr Munro says surface flood-ing in the low lying areas adjacentto the main river channels isunable to drain into the swollenrivers.

This is unlikely to change until

the river levels drop substantially.The water is ponding behind stopbanks and flood gates which arenecessary to protect the land fromdirect flooding from the rivers, hesaid.

Environment Waikato staff willcontinue to alert district councils,

land owners, Civil Defence andother agencies as flood alarms aretriggered and operational staff willcontinue checking flood pumpsand stopbanks.

‘‘We’ll be keeping a close eye onthings in case we get any moreunexpected heavy rain falls or if

river flows are higher than wepredict.’’

Meanwhile, staff working tomaintain stop banks and floodpumps have switched to usingquad bikes instead of utilityvehicles in a bid to minimisedamage to sodden pasture.

Pirongia’s young scientistsexperiment with excellence

TC040808GJ01SOUND CHECK: Lydia Barker toasts the success of her Science Fair project (with water).

Pirongia School had a greatresponse to its annual Year 7 and8 Science Fair this year — with14 entries receiving an excel-lence rating.

Typical of the amount ofeffort that went into a number ofentries was Lydia Barker’s studyon whether the level and densityof liquid in a glass would changeits sound frequency when read

with a tuner. Lydia’s initial testsestablished that of the goblettypes she was using, a crystalbrandy glass produced the bestresults.

Her hypothesis was that add-ing water would take up moreroom in a glass and change thepitch and make the sound lower.She predicted that oil would belighter than water and not alter

the sound as much.Her predictions were con-

firmed by testing — addingwater made the glass heavier,producing a slower vibrationand a lower pitch.

Principal Jan Cullen saidstaff were delighted with theamount of effort put into theScience Fair this year by a largenumber of students.

Impressive milestone for coupleBY CATHY ASPLIN

TC050808SP02/03BOB and Rona Douglas on their wedding day(above) and shortly before Mrs Douglas movedto Te Ata Rest Home (below).

Bob and Rona Doug-las (nee Keith) met‘across the fence’ whenthey were just 11 yearsold. Now 80 years laterthey are celebratingtheir 70th wedding anni-versary.

The couple wereinitially on adjoiningfarms at Kaiaua (northeast of Pokeno).

Mr Douglas did moveaway for a while - head-ing to Thames - butreturned to the area torekindle the friendship.

The couple attendeddances and movies inthe area during their‘courting’ years andeventually married atPokeno on July 31, 1938.

Mr Douglas remem-bers it was snowing onthe Kaimais on theirwedding day, a fairlyunusual occurrence, butone which was repeatedjust a few weeks ago.

The couple headed toRotorua in their small‘Willys’ motorcar fortheir honeymoon beforereturning to live andwork on the family farm.

They remained onthat farm for the next 10years, where three oftheir children were born(Fred, Sherwin andNoelene).

Next stop was a farmat Hunua for four yearswhere their fourth child(Coralie) arrived to com-plete the family.

Another three yearsas farm workers wasspent at Waingarobefore they moved toWharepuhunga.

‘‘We’ve been in this

area ever since.’’In 1953 they pur-

chased their first farm atKihikihi. The 50 acreproperty was home for19 years.

During that time theyheaded back to Kaiauafor a school reunion andit was then that a family‘myth’ was dispelled.

Daughter NoeleneJolly says her father hadalways told them that asa child he had to milkthe cows in the morningbefore running to schoolbarefoot with a turnip inhis pocket for lunch.

‘‘It turns out that hedidn’t have to go any-where for his schooling.

‘‘As a young child hewas initially on corres-pondence. When thefirst teacher came to thearea she set up the‘school’ in a room in theDouglas household,where she alsoboarded.’’

Mr Douglas alsocarried out a consider-able amount of buildingwork for 30 years duringhis farming career.

‘‘ I used to milk thecows in the morning andgo off on building jobs -Rona would do the after-noon milking.

‘‘Most of my workwas building cowsheds -herringbones initiallyand a few rotarysheds inthe latter years. I builtthe occasional house,but most of my work wason milking sheds.’’

Over the years thecouple were closelyinvolved in the com-munity.

Mr Douglas servedthrough Lions while

Mrs Douglas wasinvolved in WDFF,school PTA’s and keptbusy raising the familyon the farm.

The couple movedinto town in 1976.

Mr Douglas con-tinues his associationwith Lions throughPakeke Lions and hasworked on a number ofmemorable projects.

‘‘We put new num-bers on over 4400 localhouses, developedPirongia Lodge andcarried out constructionwork on CentennialPark, amongst others.’’

His dedication toLions was recognisedwith a Lloyd MorganCharitable Trust Hon-ourable Membership in1996 and Life Member-ship in 2006.

In recent times MrsDouglas’ health hasdeteriorated whichneccesitated a move toTe Ata Rest Homealmost two years ago.

But Mr Douglasremains independent —driving himself toPakeke Lions meetings,Bridge Club and Te Atato visit Mrs Douglas.

The couple were ableto have a combined cele-bration for Mrs Douglas’91st birthday and their70th wedding annivers-ary at the rest home.

They now have threechildren (Fred is inScotland for the birth ofa grandchild, Sherwinlives in Cambridge andNoelene lives inPirongia. Coralie passedaway in 2000), 12 grand-children and 19 greatgrandchildren.

Historic rail trip to pass through TAA carriage on the first pas-

senger train to travel by railfrom Wellington to Aucklandwill be on the tracks again tocommemorate the centenaryof this historic journey.

Over three days fromAugust 6-8, hundreds of peoplewill travel on a steam trainthat will re-enact this import-ant first trip from one end ofthe North Island Main Trunkline to the other.

It is scheduled to leaveTaumarunui at 10.05 thisFriday (August 8) and to stopat Te Awamutu at 10am forfive minutes for passengers toboard.

ONTRACK welcomes any-one who wants to come to thestation to see the train, but isreminding people to stay off

the tracks and stay safe.ONTRACK chief executive

William Peet says this is anamazing opportunity to travelon a train that comes as closeas possible to the 1908 original.

‘‘The re-enactment is anambitious project that hasinvolved hundreds of volun-teer hours over the past year,but this is a fitting recognitionof the effort that was involvedin running the original train,’’he says.

‘‘It’s important to celebratethe running of the train as oneof the key events in the open-ing of the North Island MainTrunk. The opening of the linehad a huge impact on theeconomic and social develop-ment of the central NorthIsland.’’

The first journey pre-datedthe actual opening of the line— temporary tracks were laidso the train could get throughin time to welcome the USNavys Great White Fleet.

The Minister of PublicWorks had made a now fam-ous 1000 pound wager with theengineer in charge of the cen-tral section that the line wouldbe ready to take a train toAuckland for fleet week cele-brations.

The Great White Fleet wason a world tour as a display ofAmerican naval power andinfluence and the ParliamentSpecial carried 200 passen-gers, including 44 parliamen-tarians, from Wellington toAuckland for the fleets recep-tion.

The train left Wellington at10pm on August 7 and tookmore than 20 hours to reachAuckland, arriving by 6.30pmthe following day.

The 2008 train will use oneof the original carriages fromthe 1908 Parliament Specialwhich has been restored byheritage operator MainlineSteam. The three other car-riages on the train all datefrom 1909-1912 and were onceused on the North Island MainTrunk.

William Peet says the 2008journey will take three days toallow the train to stop and letthe public see the train and geton board.

A Christian perspective

Jesus’ love canovercome all

It is difficult to like some people, but it ispossible to love them. The difference is liking isinstinctive, emotional, physiological, a reaction ofthe senses over which we sometimes have little orno control.

Loving is in the will, not in the glands. It is inthat part of our being which is subject to moralcommand thus is not a bodily reaction. Though wedo not like taking a bitter medicine, we can putourselves under the dictate of the will and drink it.

Liking is reciprocal, but love is not necessarilyreciprocal. The people we like usually like us. Aparent can love a wayward son or daughter, eventhough he or she does not return any affection.

It is hard and sometimes impossible to likesome people. The Divine Command was not ‘Likethy neighbour’ but ‘Love thy neighbour’. AnotherDivine Command was ‘Love one another as I haveloved you’. Jesus so loved us that He gave his lifefor us.

The following story illustrates how love over-comes.

In the backblocks of Taranaki, 12-year-old Janeloved to stay with her favourite aunt in theholidays.

While there she avoided her older cousin whomshe disliked a lot because of his temper and crueltyto animals.

One day while relaxing among some trees shesaw her cousin at the dog kennels cutting up meat.Suddenly, he swore and Jane saw that his left handwas covered in blood.

The girl’s first thoughts were ‘good job, hope ithurts’.

Then, ignoring her feelings of dislike for him,she ran to the house for her aunt’s help. Together,they dressed his cut hand. The aunt then took herson on the long drive to the doctor where he gotstitches to his knife wound.

Because of Jane’s dislike for her cousin, shecould have stayed hidden in the trees and donenothing.

Instead she chose to help him. This was an act oflove for her neighbour who, at that time, was hercousin in need. By choosing to love unselfishly, welove as Jesus loves.

BY CATHY ASPLIN

The Waikato Culi-nary Fair clashed withthe Te Awamutu Col-lege Ball this year, butseveral students suc-cessfully managed tojuggle the two events.

week).His third medal in

the Waikato CulinaryFair came in the CafeCake competitionwhere he picked up asilver medal for hiswalnut carrot cake.

Alex received meritawards in the dessertsection, soup sectionand team event.

Despite his obvioustalent in the hospitalityindustry, Alex says hisfirst love is music andthat’s where he’s hop-ing to make a career.

‘‘The food industrywould be my secondchoice, though.’’

Dancing towards debt-free studies

TC050808SP01DANCE teacher Leeza Vincent (bottom right) with her students.

BY CATHY ASPLIN

When you see Leeza Vincentat a Te Awamutu dance class youprobably think she’s one of thestudents.

But the 16-year-old Te Awa-mutu College pupil is actuallythe teacher.

The popularity of her classesmeans that she now stages sev-eral in Te Awamutu, Kihikihiand Otorohanga.

She caters for up to 90 ballet,hip-hop, tap and jazz students,who range in age from aroundfive to 45 years of age.

If that’s not enough work,Leeza has also been tutoringstudents for competition work,with plenty of success comingtheir way.

‘‘My senior group was third atthe Papakura dance competi-tion, then they had a win at theOtumoetai event in June.

‘‘My junior boys duo - DrewNgapo and Christian Williams -won their section at Otumoetai.’’

At the Tauranga PerformingArts competition in July, whichis the largest event in the NorthIsland, the senior group wassecond out of 22 entrants.

The junior group also placedsecond.

With regular lessons, com-petition lessons and her owndance lessons in Hamilton,Leeza certainly has a hecticweek.

‘‘I have to be organised andI’ve got a routine. Mum picks meup after school and I eat whileshe drives me to classes whichstart at 3.45pm and finish around8.30pm.’’

Leeza also has a busy yearstudy-wise with NCEA level two,but she says she has good reasonfor her demanding schedule.

‘‘My aim is to continuestudies in the performing artsarea after leaving school.

‘‘By teaching classes now Iam earning money so that I canpay my course fees and avoid astudent loan.’’

Lock Carlos Thomson con-trolled possession from the kickoff, the ball was spun wide tocentre Bill Ngauma, who grubberkicked into the corner for vet-eran winger/team captainDarren Marsom to chase for thetry.

Up 5-0, Marist dominated fieldterritory and were rewardedwith a second try to halfbackBryce McCandlish in the 20thminute. The gutsy No. 9 droveover from a maul after the hometeam had taken a tap penalty andmauled their way to strikingdistance of the line.

Thomson was next to scorewith a wonderful pickup anddrive to the line, after the centrepairing of Cory Ohutu andNgauma had carved the oppo-sition’s backs up.

Dion Pryor converted for a17-0 halftime lead.

Pryor then slotted a penalty inthe fifth minute of the secondhalf for a 20-0 scoreline.

The visitors scored after 20minutes from a Marist dropped

Hewetson horses came to party

TC010808CT02MARK SWEENEY salutes the judge after piloting Amity Jane to victory in theGumboots Syndicate 1150 at Waipa.

Te Awamutu trainer Shirley Hewetsonsaddled up two horses for a win andsecond placing at Waipa races.

Cypress Star notched up the third winof her career taking out the final race onthe card, the Happy 70th Birthday DickScott 1400 on Wednesday.

The five-year-old chestnut gelding ispart owned by Hewetson, who trains thehorse for a family syndicate that includesfather Ray Hyams, well known localjeweller.

Cypress Star has been a model ofconsistency, weighing in exactly half ofher 34 starts — recording three seconds,three thirds, three fourths and five fifthsto go with the three wins for a stake of$21,090.

The Hewetson-trained Twenty Ques-tions, also in the hands of jockey KateHercock, placed second in the GumbootSyndicate 1150.

The Kevin O’Connor-trained SirJoseph broke through for his first win in21 starts, after finishing in the moneyeight times previously, taking out theMills Reef Winery 2000m.

It was just as well the five-year-oldgelding was victorious as the trainer’swife Lenis O’Connor had quipped: ‘‘If hedoesn’t win today, I’ve told Kevin thathorse has gone.’’

She need not have worried. Sir Josephlived up to his favouritism, winning bytwo-and-a-quarter lengths from Relief,with Setimalite a further four lengthsadrift third.

The Graeme and Mark Sanders’trained Dankashay completed a good dayfor the local stable’s finishing third in therace won by Cypress Star.

Te Awamutu jockey Mark Sweeneycontinued his purple patch of form withtwo winners (Amity Dane and PirateFlag), a second (O’Dorcia) and third(Dankashay).

Sweeney is to ride the Richard andChris Otto trained Old Belvedere in theWinter Cup at Riccarton, now scheduledfor Wednesday after being rained offSaturday and Sunday. Chances of themeeting taking place tomorrow areweather dependent.

Old Belvedere is a last start winner(July 5) at Waipa.

Hobby trainer’s home tracksuccess happily toasted

TC010808CT01TOP TEAM: Tania Skinner with Just A Madam after the mare’s win atWaipa.

Mare Just A Madam opens maiden accountBY COLIN THORSEN

Tania Skinner is one ofthe quiet achievers of theracing industry in Te Awa-mutu.

The 34-year-old, with apermit to train, saddled upoutsider Just A Madam towin the Commercial HotelTe Awamutu 1150 at Waipaon Wednesday.

In the hands of TashaCollett, Just a Madam boltedin by three and three-quarter lengths at odds of15-1.

There were high-fivesallround — it was the five-year-old bay mare’s firststart for Skinner and theowners’ (Mrs C. A. & S. M.Dix & G. M. Mead) firstwinner.

Skinner says the five-year-old gave a hint of ‘bet-ter things to come’ whenplacing second at the recentCambridge trials. Just AMadam had not raced sincelast October and finishedout of the money at her onlyother start at Waipa.

‘‘I got her by defaultreally,’’ says Skinner.

‘‘The mare had pre-viously been with formerjumps jockey/trainerMichelle Strawbridge, whoonly gave up her horses tohave her two girls.’’

Strawbridge is now rid-ing trackwork for Skinner,whose stable is within astone’s throw of Waipa race-course.

Skinner currently hastwo horses in work, Just AMadam and Tuscany

Dancer, and two unracedjuveniles coming back intowork.

She has five boxes on thefive acres property, with theundoubted stable star beingthe ultra consistent sprinterTuscany Dancer.

The seven-year-old baymare has fashioned an envi-able record, weighing in 18of her 26 starts, recordingfour wins, three seconds,three thirds, seven fourthsand a fifth for stake win-nings of around $60,000.

She went within a shorthead of adding another winin Saturday’s Rosvall ITMOpen 1300 at Ruakaka.

Skinner took over thehorse after she had one startfor Peter Lock at Te Rapa.

‘‘I guess it’s a case ofsome horses being moresuited to a smaller stable,’’she says.

The affable 34-year-oldhad an inauspicious start toher racing career.

As an amateur jockey,she rode and worked forLaurie Laxton at Karapirofor five years. Her ridingcareer started promisinglyenough with a second andfifth at her first two starts,only to break her leg at whatwas to be her third and finalstart.

‘‘It was a blessing indisguise really, I alwayswanted to be a trainer, not ajockey.’’

Skinner considers her-self as a ‘hobby trainer’. ‘‘Idon’t want a lot of horses. Iprefer being more hands on,doing it myself,’’ she says. 6380770AA

Cinema SceneX-Files: I Want to Believe

When a group ofwomen are abducted inthe wintry hills of ruralVirginia, the only cluesto their disappearanceare the grotesquehuman remains thatbegin to turn up in snowbanks along the high-way.

With officials desper-ate for any lead, a dis-

graced priest’s question-able ‘visions’ send localpolice on a wild goosechase and straight to abizarre secret medicalexperiment that may ormay not be connected tothe woman’s disappear-ance.

It’s a case right out ofthe ‘X-Files’ — but theFBI closed down its

investigations into theparanormal years ago.And the best team forthe job is ex-agents FoxMulder and Dr. DanaScully, who have nodesire to revisit theirdark past. Still, the truthof these horrific crimesis out there somewhereand it will take Mulderand Scully to find it!
