Pride in restored engine shines

TC030708CT01ENGINE PRIDE: firing up the restored steam traction engine ‘Norfolk Pride’ on Saturday were, from left:Ewan Macdonald, Brian James and Colin Pinkerton.

BY GRANT JOHNSTON

Colin and Lyn Pinkerton’s TeAwamutu ‘Iron Park’ is now hometo a beautifully restored steamtraction engine.

The Burrell 2391 Steam Trac-tion Engine belongs to thePinkerton Family Trust, whichhas spent around $60,000 restoring‘her’.

On Saturday 2391 had her firstfull firing for five or six years andthe eyes of three mature mensparkled like schoolboys.

Colin Pinkerton has made afantastic job of painting the engineand a canopy he built for it.Engineer Brian James, fromHalcom near Fielding, has done anamazing job of the engine resto-ration.

‘‘There are very few people inNew Zealand who could have doneit,’’ Mr Pinkerton says.

‘‘We had the choice to restore itsoon, or face the loss of theknowledge required to be able torestore it at some stage in thefuture.’’

Mr Pinkerton says the engine is107-years-old and he hopes nowthat it will be good for anotherhundred years.

He has built a shed to store anddisplay the engine and hopes tofire it up (which takes about threehours) for special occasions. Itcould appear in parades in TeAwamutu, dependant on per-mission from authorities and hav-ing someone with a marine boilersteam ticket to drive it.

Te Awamutu is indeed fortu-nate to have such a wonderfulreminder of a bygone era in itsmidst.

The third member of the‘twinkle-in-the-eye trio’ at Satur-day’s firing was Ewan Macdonald.

His great grandfather, DuncanMacdonald, of Hawkes Bay boughtthe engine in 1901.

It had been completed atCharles Burrell and Sons’Thelford works in England.

During her shipment she wasexhibited at the Melbourne Show.

After arriving in Napier, 2391’sfirst job was driving the shearingplant at Olrig Station out fromHastings. She then went on to roadhaulage, threshing grain seed, oatsetc around the Heretaunga Plainsfor 13 years, as well as regular150km round trips to Puketitiricarting timber.

Mr Macdonald bought a farm inCentral Hawkes Bay in 1931 andsold 2391 to a contractor at Otane— Percy Pilcher.

Mr Pilcher sold 2391 and his boxmill in 1938 to Eric Nelson ofHastings, with a condition of salebeing that Mr Nelson operate themachines each year threshing hisgrass seed, as the unit gave thebest example of seed he had seen.The last threshing was in 1960.

Laurie Hartwell bought 2391 in1966 and took her to Marton forrebuilding, then on to his home atWanganui and naming the engineNorfolk Pride.

Duncan Macdonald’s greatgrandson, Hugh Macdonald hap-pened by chance to see the enginewhen he was practising rowing onthe river with his Wanganui Col-legiate crew.

He made himself known and onweekends Laurie Hartwell taughthim how to operate the engine.

When Mr Hartwell decided tosell Norfolk Pride, he offered herto Hugh and his father, Ewan, torestore ownership to the originalfamily.

The Norfolk Pride Steam Trac-tion Engine Society was formed,with syndicate members includinga number of Ewan Macdonald’sfellow Te Awamutu residents.

A decision was made recentlyto sell Norfolk Pride, and thePinkerton Family Trust (with thePinkertons being shareholders inthe original syndicate) purchasedher.

The wisdom of that saledecision was evident in the gleam-ing, and more importantly, work-ing engine that graced the ‘IronPark’ grounds on Saturday.

Mr Pinkerton says creditshould go to the original syndicatemembers who had saved theengine and brought 2391 to TeAwamutu.

Mr Macdonald says he isdelighted that Mr Pinkerton hasdone such a fantastic job with theNorfolk Pride.

‘‘I am extremely proud to seeher in this state and I’m sure mygrandfather would have been too,’’he says.

‘‘It’s a great result.’’

Your Letters

Project prioritisation needs revisitingI am pleased to read that the

residents of Te Awamutu areinvited to have their say on the‘Heart of Te Awamutu’ steeringgroup’s plan for our CBD.

Nevertheless, I feel some-how let done by theprioritisation of projects as Idon’t think it genuinely reflectsthe wishes of the people livinghere.

This impression is based onmy presence at the submissionhearing on February 29 andtalks to residents.

1. Removing heavy trafficfrom CBD:

As stated by Mayor AlanLivingston, ‘‘the implicationsof this (restricting trucks inCBD) need to be fully consid-ered by residents’’. Severalsubmitters pointed out that aban or restriction of trucks inAlexandra Street and its sur-rounds will push these heavyvehicles into purely residentialareas with all its negativeimpact on safety, noise levels,street maintenance and pol-lution.

Not long ago Council spentconsiderable funds on resealingof Alexandra Street in order tomake its surface more suitablefor heavy traffic. Was thismoney spent unwisely?

In future, heavy traffic vol-ume will further increase. IfCouncil honestly wants to

make decisions for the futureand save money long term, thenthere is only one sensible solu-tion to it: Build a proper bypassand encourage other means oftransport (don’t forget, Te Awa-mutu has got a railway station).

As the chair of the steeringgroup Michael Cox stated: ‘‘Wewant to make the town ‘userfriendly’ to its occupants and agood place for families’’.

How is this going to happenif truck and trailer units of 44tonnes roar through residentialstreets west, south and east ofthe CBD?

The proposed detour viaMutu Street onto SH3, andtruck restriction in Mahoe andSloane Streets, is so awkwardthat I would assume manytruck drivers will look foralternatives i.e. many parts ofthe residential quarters couldbe affected as a matter of thedecision of the driver of theday.

Spending $12 Million on acultural centre and almost $4Million on Alexandra Streetupgrade at fourth and thirdhighest priority respectively,and pushing a bypass at a costof $38 Million to lowest over-allpriority does not sound veryvisionary to me.

Besides all this: Why isheavy traffic in AlexandraStreet a problem to deserve this

special attention? Most truckdrivers stay well below thespeed limit thanks to the nar-row street lay out, and showgreat consideration towardspedestrians. Unfortunately,this is not the case outsideAlexandra Street.

2. Expansion of CBDtowards Rose Gardens:

The priority list showsclearly a push for this projectby giving it ‘medium levelpriority’. I doubt the success ofthis extension as a small townlike Te Awamutu can’t sustainsuch a big area of retail, serviceand amenity.

We might end up with gap-ing gaps of desolate sectionsbetween buildings, or manyvacant shops.

Without doubt, the proposednew supermarket on cambridgeRoad and other retailers willdraw customers away from theCBD. The impact on a CBDexpansion would be even moresevere.

3. TA a good place for famil-ies:

TA is unfortunate leader inbeing a town not providing forsafe pedestrian crossings out-side its CBD. SH3 bisects thetown but has got no safe cross-ing at all.

Parents take their schoolkids to school by car or sendthem on the bus within this

‘town of short distances’ as asafety measure. Elderly resi-dents can’t cross the highwayin a safe manner. Despite thisshortcoming in providingessential means for residents’mobility brought to its atten-tion, the steering group pro-poses only one pedestrian ref-uge (i.e. traffic island) at AlbertPark at very low priority of 19.

The proposed project of anadventure playground next tothe Rose Garden got the lowpriority of 16 despite being inobvious demand as there is nosuch playground in TA, and acurrent problem with boredchildren and youth in town(tagging, petty crime, etc.).

To sum up:The first two projects I men-

tioned need to be changed, orabolished in favour of asustainable solution. MakingTA a more family-friendly placeis a crucial project for its futuredevelopment. So far, itsprioritisation by Council doesnot reflect this need!

The needs of all residentsshould be considered with amore balanced approach. Thiscan only be done if the list ofproject undergoes a ‘reality-check’ that, most importantly,must include consideration ofits consequences on day to daylife in this town.

MARTIN RUMP

Where would referendum result on the voting system lead?I’ve been interested to hear that the

National Party plans to hold the long-promised referendum on the present votingsystem. They will probably only get to dothis if they hold an overall majority.

The present system has been quiteeffective in enabling small parties to play

some part in government - many folk feelthey play too much part, considering theirrelative support base. Many voters areconcerned regarding list MPs - they play alarge part in government but do not answerto any electorate. If National run a refer-endum and MMP is voted out, what

alternative do they offer? It seems that STVmay be a good alternative, where votershave some say as to who will be List MPs.

There may be other alternatives. If so,National need to tell voters what they havein mind before the elections later this year.

Mountain bikers are ‘up to summit’ in Waipa

TC010708SP17KAKEPUKU reconnaissance riders, from left, Jeff Tucker, James Gurney, Andy O’Regan, Brett Purchase,Amanda Haigh and Brendan Haigh.

A group of Waipa residents metrecently in Te Awamutu to discusssome important initiatives in thisarea for the fast growing sport ofmountain biking.

The group met in the TeA’Cycles bike shop to discuss expan-sion of existing mountain biketrails on Mt Kakepuku, and longerterm possibilities of developingtrails on Mt Pirongia.

The meeting was initiated byBrett Purchase of TeA’ Cycles whohas worked recently with theCouncil to make greater mountainbike usage of the Kakepuku Parkarea more practicable. The meet-ing was followed up with a ride onMt Kakepuku a few days later,where seven riders checked out theexisting trails on the mountain toconsider ways their potentialcould best be maximised.

During the meeting, the idea ofsetting up a Waipa Mountain BikeClub emerged. Spearheading themove was Brendan Haigh ofPirongia, who is keen to get a clubof fellow off-road enthusiastsactive in the Waipa area to pro-mote and better organise track-building and mountain bikinginitiatives on local mountains.

He would like to see the newclub working closely with otherlocal groups already using thesemountain parks and is convincedthe interests of the various otherkinds of park users including con-servation interests, can co-existhappily with mountain bikers,most of whom are as keen asanyone to protect and enhance thenatural environment for nativespecies and for future generations.

Those with doubts about moun-tain bikers having environmentalconcerns and commitment needlook no further than the only otherWaikato club, the Hamilton Moun-tain Bike Club which has, with thesupport of the Hamilton City Coun-

cil, worked environmental won-ders in Pukete FarmPark.Together, they have broughtlife and regenerating bush backinto an area that was a combina-tion of dump, swamp and waste-land full of old burnt-out car bodiesand other unspeakable refuse.

The riders expended hugeamounts of energy, teamwork, andwork hours to convert this pre-viously unusable area into a shadypark interlaced with magical trailsthat are now enjoyed by a rapidlyexpanding community of ridersand other park users.

Key members of the Hamiltonclub are keen to help their newWaipa counterpart get into actionas soon as possible, envisaging afuture of fiercely competitiveinter-club rivalry of benefit to bothclubs.

Hamilton club members werepresent at the meeting at the bikeshop and also on the first ride onKakepuku. New tracks in thesouthern Waikato will always beappreciated and used by Hamiltonriders and in return, the Hamiltonclub will welcome participationfrom their new Waipa associateson the Hamilton tracks and events.

To get the new club underway, asufficient number of prospectivemembers are required, so thegroup is calling for any people whowould be interested in joining upto contact Tui Allen, [email protected] so they can bekept informed, once sufficientnumbers have been collected, of adate chosen for an inaugural meet-ing to launch the club.

With the sport of mountainbiking so much on the increase inthe Waikato and with miles ofglorious countryside surroundingthe small country towns of theWaipa, such a move to develop anoff-road division of the sport ishardly surprising and perhaps

long overdue in such a pro-cyclingcommunity.

Mountain biking has beenrecently experiencing vast growthin the Waikato with good bike salesand many new people entering thesport. Club memberships arebooming as new recruits pour in,in a manner beginning to bereminiscent of the great runningboom of the 1970s. Blessed byreasonable proximity to the world-renowned tracks of the Rotoruaforests and spurred on by sucheasily accessible events as theTaupo Jamis Day/Night Thriller,the Rotorua Moonride, Bikewise

Week and the many regular localraces at Pukete Farm Park inHamilton, families, individualsand corporate groups are embrac-ing the healthy environmentallyfriendly sport.

The Hamilton Mountain BikeClub is currently preparing for the‘Pukete Spaghetti’, a six hourmulti-lap event of the same type asthe Taupo Day/Night Thriller butmuch cheaper and closer to homefor Waipa and Hamilton riders.

The event is so named for thespaghetti-like trails it will be con-tested over.

They are long, white, skinny

and wiggly - the classic single-track beloved of mountain bikersthe world over.

While the Hamilton club hasmuch experience of organisingsmall weekly races, this is theirfirst attempt at a major eventdesigned to attract larger numbersof riders from the entire Waikatoregion and beyond. To be held onthe club’s home turf at PuketeFarm Park on October 18 this year,it is aiming for a fun and friendlyatmosphere.

Diamond lifestyle in adopted country

TC030708SP07WEDDING day, June 19, 1948.

TC030708SP06DIAMOND couple Joe and Freda Wilcox cutting their DiamondWedding cake at Memory Lane.

BY DEAN TAYLOR

Joe and Freda Wilcox celebrated their diamondwedding in their adopted home recently, enjoying agreat time with friends and a few family at Hamilton’sMemory Lane.

The couple married at Shortheath Parish Church,Derbyshire, England on June 19, 1948.

Mr Wilcox was an only child, born and raised inStaffordshire. He started his working career as anengineer on large machinery before joining the RoyalEngineers of the British Army and serving his countryin the Middle East.

His wife-to-be, Freda Shotton, was also aStaffordshire girl and was working in the land armywhen the two met in the village of Shortheath inneighbouring Derbyshire county.

Mr Wilcox was on leave — but it wasn’t quite theromantic-met-at-the-dance story of many couples of thetime.

He happened upon his future bride heaving sacks ofpotatoes onto a truck, and beinga gentleman, rolled up hissleeves and helped her.

When the couple marriedafter the war, Freda was work-ing in the office of her uncle’shaulage business.

There was a lot of industry inthe Midlands, with hugedemand for transport to the portcities, so the Wilcox’ decided tocontinue a family tradition andset up their own trucking busi-ness.

They had four trucks, andalso sub-contracted other firms,to fulfil their contracts.

Meanwhile Mrs Wilcox’ onlybrother Bill and his wife andchildren had emigrated to NewZealand.

Mr Shotton was with the NewZealand Air Force — based in TeRapa where he was eventuallyWing Commander.

With no children of theirown, the Wilcox had alwaysintended to retire to New Zea-land to be with their closestrelations.

As is turned out, Mr Shotton convinced his sisterand brother-in-law to emigrate in 1974, settling on theNorth Shore where Mr Wilcox worked as a supervisorfor General Foods and Mrs Wilcox a warranty clerk forJaguar NZ.

Mr Shotton convinced the couple to shift once more— this time to retire in the Waikato.

He was living in Ohaupo and the Wilcox’ saw thenew Windsor Court Retirement Village was beingdeveloped so they checked it out.

That was 19 years ago — and the Wilcox are all-butfounder owners.

Their home was the first on their side of the roadand they had the option of designing exactly what theywanted.

They took to their new locale with great enthusi-asm, and both take an active part in the running ofWindsor Court Retirement Village. Mr Wilcox is on thevillage committee and Mrs Wilcox is secretary of thebody corporate.

When they first arrived Mrs Wilcox was extremelyhomesick — but it didn’t last.

Since arriving in New Zea-land the couple knew they hadmade a great lifestyle decision— and in retirement things goteven better.

They had taken up golf inNew Zealand and both enjoyedconsiderable success for theirTe Awamutu, and latterly, Nar-rows Golf Clubs — as well asgiving other sports a go.

They also invested in a cara-van and made sure they visitedevery corner of their adoptedcountry, playing as many golfcourses and fishing as manywaterways as possible.

Their first big trip home, asix month trip, was a great timeto catch with with friends andfamily — but the second sixmonth trip did more to reinforcehow much better their lifestylewas ‘downunder’.

They have since sold theircaravan — but are still enjoyingthe village lifestyle in Ohaupoand look forward to many moreenjoyable years together.

Rotary rewards fine communityservice by Richard Reynolds

TC010708SP17RICHARD REYNOLDS was accompanied to the award dinner by, from left:daughter Suzanne,grandson Antony, son-in-law Alex, wife Barbara. Atright is Te Awamutu Rotary president, Elizabeth Bayley.

Richard Reynoldshas been awarded aPaul Harris Fellowship,Rotary’s highest hon-our, by his fellow TeAwamutu Rotarians.

It was obvious fromthe speech given bypast president, KeithStorey, when introduc-ing Mr Reynolds’ inves-titure, that his servicehas been to every com-munity in which he haslived, not just to Rotary.

His early farmingcareer began on thefamily farm at Okoroirein the 1950s and hebecame involved incommunity organisa-tions starting with theYoung Farmers Club.

The debating skillsintroduced at YoungFarmers were furtherhoned when as a mem-ber of Piarere WaterSkiing Club, he liaisedwith Matamata CountyCouncil to install buoysand a jump in an areaon Lake Karapiroreserved for fishing,and then the building ofa club house andlaunching ramp on theadjacent lake shore.

As with many organ-isations he joined, MrReynolds rose throughthe ranks and becamechief judge for the NewZealand Water SkiingAssociation.

Then it came time tomove and enlarge hisfarming operations, soMr Reynolds and hiswife Barbara shifted toArohena.

‘‘In this next phase

of his life, Richardplanted trees, bothphysically and liter-ally,’’ Mr Storey said.

He became a schoolcommittee member anda key member of thegroup that planned anddeveloped the ArohenaWater Supply Scheme.

Yet again theArohena district couldnot contain him andwhen he joined Feder-ated Farmers, he rosethrough the ranks tobecome president ofWaikato ProvincialFederated Farmers.

He proved a staunchadvocate for his fellowfarmers. His term in

office coincided with adownturn in farmingprofitability and heused his skills to negoti-ate with banks onbehalf of fellow mem-bers who were severelystressed.

‘‘His recent contri-bution to FederatedFarmers is as chairmanof the society that ownsthe buildings, and theprofit they make allowsthe distribution of$20,000 annually torural organisations.’’

Mr Reynolds servedon St Paul’s CollegiatePTA, then board formany years. Heremains a director of

the school’s forestrycompany and he wasappointed a Fellow ofthe School in 2006.

He has served TeAwamutu Rotary ablyas director and presi-dent and a major contri-bution has been hisinvolvement in theKawhia 4-wheel drivesafari project, wherehis understanding offarmers’ needs hs beeninvaluable in negotiat-ing access.

Mr Storey said it wasfitting that MrReynolds’ wife and fam-ily could join him forthe Paul Harris Fellow-ship award evening.

Cambridge couplekeen to spread‘60s Up’ message

Stalwart leaders of Cambridge’s60s Up Movement of New Zealand,Barry and Linda Jackson, are keen tohelp interested people this side ofWaipa set up a sister organisation.

The Cambridge branch has grownfrom strength to strength since form-ing about three years ago and boastsalmost 150 members.

The Jacksons are founding mem-bers and keen to spread the messageabout the worth of the nationwideorganisation. Mr Jackson is presi-dent and his wife is the outingsconvenor. Both are also on thenational executive and Mr Jackson isnational treasurer.

Next month Hamilton hosts thenational conference, so the Jacksonsare keen to find people interested informing a Te Awamutu branch withthe view that some may attendnational conference to learn moreabout the organisation.

Nationally there are 30 branchesand the movement is in its 27th year.

The Waikato isn’t strongly repre-sented and Cambridge would love tosee that change.

The mission of 60s Up Movementof New Zealand is to provide oppor-tunities to enhance the lifestyle ofmembers. Despite the name, mem-bership is actually open to anyone 50years or over and each branch hasautonomy over how they meet theneeds of members.

Mr Jackson says this is important

because it doesn’t stifle creativethinking and allows groups to con-centrate on what works best forthem.

But they do believe more stronggroups in the region would be abonus as they could share ideas, gettogether and share outings occasion-ally and generally feed off each other.

It is for these reasons the Jacksonswant to make themselves available tohelp set up a group in Te Awamutuand help it get underway and thrive.

Cambridge branch enjoysmonthly meetings, with shared lunchand some sort of event; such as aguest speaker, an entertainer orentertainment from members, or aneducational topic.

The Jacksons say the variety ofthe meetings is important and makesthe meetings enjoyable and wellattended.

As well there are lots of otheractivities, such as a monthly walkinggroup, regular, and very popular, busexcursions, breakfasts and brunchesand always some sort of event forholidays such as Easter and Christ-mas.

The tours have been a revelationas members discover the rich heri-tage and history of their own region.

Anyone wanting to learn more iswelcome to register their interest atthe Te Awamutu i-Site VisitorInformation Centre or they can con-tact the Jacksons on (07) 827 6949.

Your Letters

Truck drivers will have to find other routesAs chair of the Waipa Dis-

trict Council steering commit-tee on the Te Awamutuupgrade I respond to the letterfrom Nod Chandler concern-ing alternative routes for largetrucks.

We planned to let truckdrivers work out their alterna-tive routes following theclosure of the ‘down town’streets.

Already some 200 heavytrucks daily use the MutuStreet exit onto State Highway

3. It is our intention toupgrade this junction to easethe exit and entry to town.

Then there is the impliedthreat of using Vaile Streetpast the Medical Centre.

Another route would be touse the Albert Park Driveroute to travel to or from yourbase?

I’ve measured this kinderalternative, and found that itis just over 1 km longer totravel — surely a very smallimpediment to your daily

travel.Council has no intention of

putting islands and trees inArawata and Sloane Street asyou’ve suggested.

We had a long hard look atthe long debated WesternArterial and rejected it as apossible alternative route.

The price of in excess of $40million would have to beborne by ratepayers as the‘cost to benefit ratio’ falls waybelow anything that Transit(the State) would pay.

That huge cost to rate-payers just didn’t make senseto any of us.

Mr Chandler, let’s not try toresolve this through themedia.

I’m willing to meet, accom-panied by fellow councillors ifthey so wish, to see what canbe done to ease the way foryour fellow truck drivers.

Defensive blunderscostly for soccer XI

TC010708CT02NEWCOMER Liam Phillips (left) showing the skills that has seen himpromoted from Te Awamutu’s third XI to the reserve team.

Te Awamutu’s Fed-eration League soccerteam battled long andhard for no tangiblereward at Whakatane -pipped 3-2 in a thrillingencounter.

Team manager, KenMiezenbeek reportsthat the MortgageExpress sponsored TeAwamutu XI continuedfrom where they left offin last week’s win overMelville.

Midway through thefirst half striker JordanBall won possession 40metres out and, spottingthe goalie off his line,struck a well-timed vol-ley over the keeper’shead to score.

Their lead was short-lived, however, asWhakatane struck backtwice to lead 2-1 athalftime - the firstresulting from a com-munication break-downbetween keeper anddefender, capitalised onby their striker, fol-lowed by a well-struckshot by the striker afterhe beat his defender.

Te Awamutu cameout firing in the secondhalf, creating goodattacks, but found them-selves a further goaldown after another hic-cup involving thekeeper and defender.

Trailing 3-1, the visi-tors continued to presshard on attack and wererewarded with anAndrew Ryan goal from

the spot after JamesMaxwell was fouled inthe penalty area.

Miezenbeek says TeAwamutu createdenough chances to haveat least drawn thematch but were deniedany points by some‘strange refereeingdecisions’.

A continuation ofthis much improvedform should see TeAwamutu back in thewinner’s ‘circle’ nextSaturday when hostingNgongataha at AnchorPark.

Player of the day for

Te Awamutu was MikeRose in defence. Otherstand outs weredefender HamonMackay and mid-fielderEwen Scott-Dickens.

The Cape Physiosponsored Te AwamutuReserve team wentdown 2-0 at Waihi, whilethe third team lost 7-1 toTokoroa, with DaveSchute the goal scorer.

Harvested ball fever

TC030708SP16GRAND ENTRANCE: Nathan Wilson drops off Lauren Ashley andBen Shrimpton at Saturday night’s Te Awamutu College Ball atMystery Creek.

The winners of the BestEntrance prize at the Te Awa-mutu College Ball on Saturdayevening were Year 13 studentsLauren Ashley and BenShrimpton.

Their mode of transport wasgenerously provided by local agri-cultural contractors, John andJackie Austin, with Nathan Wil-son, the harvester’s full-timedriver, the chauffeur for the even-ing.

John Austin purchased theGerman-made self-propelled JohnDeere forage harvester in Febru-ary from Walsh Motors in Cam-bridge.

The 12-tonne, 625-horsepower,7550i pro-drive, the first machinein the world of this range, is fullycomputerised with yield-monitoring capability and com-plete with Greenstar GPS.

The idea originated fromSarah Wilson, who having travel-led to her wedding four years agoto Nathan in a similar mode oftransport, suggested the rela-tively new forage harvester toLauren. She quickly took up theopportunity to travel in some-thing unique and memorable forher final school ball.

So did Nathan who approachedthe Austins with the request andthey readily agreed. It is evidentthat Nathan and John share apassion for this amazing machin-ery, and this was a great oppor-tunity to show it off to a wholenew audience. Nathan deliveredan immaculately clean and newlypainted harvester (complete withheating which proved invaluable)for the evening.

Staff at the Mobil ServiceStation in Te Awamutu wererather bemused when the forageharvester drove in under covernext to the pumps early Saturday

evening, as were the customers inthe next petrol bay. Due to theunfavourable weather that even-ing it was the biggest, driest placein town for Lauren to climb upinto the harvester without gettingherself or the dress wet and dirty.

During the 40km per hourjourney to the Bledisloe Centre atMystery Creek the John Austinharvester attracted a lot of atten-tion among the convey of vehiclestravelling to the ball.

An unexpected challenge forNathan was delivering Laurenand Ben to the entrance on theother side of the lake from thehistorical village. The trip overthe beautiful stone arch bridgeattracted a large audience watch-ing from the stairs to the venue

and was a testament to Nathan’sskill with the harvester.

With lights flashing, halogensblazing and roaring machinerythe entrance of the harvesterpulling up to the stairs was trulymemorable as it filled the entireroadway.

Many cameras were clickingand it was noted there were a fewfathers (including local farmers)quite taken by the machine as itstood for some time at the foot ofthe stairs.

Due to the long queue ofvehicles entering the roadway theharvester remained parked on theother side of the lake until thetraffic thinned out, providing anopportunity for more photos andogling.

12 TE AWAMUTU COURIER, Thursday, July 3, 2008 TE AWAMUTU COURIER, Thursday, July 3, 2008 13

Te Awamutu jockey Mark Sweeney re-corded his 700th career win in New Zealand pilotting Kiri to victory in the Kiwifruit Cup at Tauranga a fortnight ago.

Kiri, trained at Paeroa by Ernie Griffi ths, is a notable starter in the Te Awamutu Wines and Spirits Te Awamutu Cup at Waipa on Saturday.

Sweeney is again aboard Kiri and rates her a chance if the rain buckets down over the next few days.

``She’s probably more suited to 2200m than the 1580m at Waipa but will be com-petitive, especially if the track becomes very heavy.

``The Parliamentary Handicap (Trentham) is the main aim for the mare, with Saturday’s Cup race a stepping-stone for her. Anything she does at Waipa will be a bonus.”

Griffi ths also has Vicenzo expected to line up in race two - the 2 N Sure Brokers (NZ) Ltd 1400m.

Sweeney says Griffi ths is doing a fantastic job.

``He only has the two horses in work and Kiri and Vicenzo are both last start win-ners.’’

The Kiwifruit Cup day, which saw both horses score, represented a real turnaround for Griffi ths, who recently lost a signifi cant work contract.

Sweeney, while thrilled to have reached the 700 winner’s milestone, refl ected on what might of been but for an horrifi c run of injuries that kept him side lined for two years.

The injuries included a broken neck, both legs, shoulder blade, sternum and both feet several times.

``Without the injuries, I might of had 1000 winners by now but it’s part and parcel of being a jockey.’’

Sweeney says he would love to reach the magical milestone of riding 1000 win-ners, especially after his latest injury almost ended his career.

``The most important thing to me in life though is my wife Debbie and our two young children.’’

Highlights of his career to date included winning the Auckland Cup twice - on Sena-

tor in 1996 and the Graeme and Mark Sand-ers’ trained Prized Lady earlier this year.

He also won the Queen Elizabeth on Bril-liant Venture at Ellerslie in 1996, meeting the Queen herself that memorable day, and has won the Te Awamutu Cup previously on the late Graham Oakes’ trained Red D’mon.

Sweeney has had winning rides overseas, in Macau, Malaysia and Australia, but his lifetime ambition is to get an elusive start and win the Melbourne Cup.

The Te Awamutu Wines and Spirits Te Awamutu Cup will be the highlight of what should be a great day’s racing.

Club secretary, Lea Temm rates this year’s Cup fi eld even stronger than last year’s line-up which was rated the best for two or three years.

Along with Kiri, acceptors include Danz

Star, The Cosmob, Buena Ventura, Ascot Isle, Point Guard, last year’s winner Belle-vue Lass and Elblitzem (trained by Robert Priscott).

Thankfully, Te Awamutu is a good draining track.

The forecast is for rain but provided it does not bucket down, a good winter track should bring out the best in the Cup fi eld.

Other highlights include open hurdles and open steeplechase races, and the John F. Grylls Memorial 1600m Classic.

The Waipa meeting will carry the $100,000 Pick Six, along with a Six Pack on race eight, where punters must pick the fi rst six horses in fi nishing order.

A free bus is available from many areas - contact the club at 871 7047 if you want to arrange a ride.

The Richard and Chris Otto stable, now operating from their new ‘state of the art’ complex at Waipa Racecourse, has a team of six horses lining up on Te Awamutu Cup day.

The list, headed by Old Belvedere, includes Neveragain, Carnage, Mia Custode, Mr Investor and Foxy Wink.

Richard Otto says he and Chris are

expecting big things from Old Belve-dere this year.

“He has come up a real treat.”Old Belvedere may not be suited

to Saturday’s open sprint distance at Waipa but does have the class to be competitive in this 10 strong fi eld.

The gelding is being targeted for the Winter Cup at Christchurch.

CUP CONTENDER: Mark Sweeney, pictured at Waipa track Tuesday morning, will ride Kiri in Te Awamutu Cup on Saturday.

OTTO trained Neveragain works out on the stable’s new equine treadmill (one of only two in the country) in preparation for Saturday’s Commercial Hotel Te Awamutu 1400m, under the watchful eye of stable hand Mel Burrell (left) and foreman Glen Ganaway. Neveragain is owned by a Te Awamutu syndicate.

Firehawks swoop ontoothless Tigers

CFPHENARE RAUKAWA (left, pursuing ball carrier) scored 20 pointsfor Te Awamutu Firehawks on Saturday.

Te Awamutu Firehawksstarted the second round of Wai-kato premier reserve rugbyleague competition just as theyfinished the first, with aresounding 64-6 win over Hau-raki Tigers.

Try as they might, the Tigerswere simply outplayed by a well-drilled side that had an answerto everything thrown at them.

The strength of thisFirehawks team is being able todefend their goal line for longperiods and score length of thefield tries from broken or setplays.

It is demoralising for anyteam that throws eveything intoattack, cannot break the defence,and a simple dropped ball resultsin them having to trudge all theway back to their own goal line.

Coach of the competitionleading side, Kane Rangitongasays it is good to have a fullsquad back, with a number ofinjured players returning afterlengthy rehabilitation work.

The Civic Video sponsoredFirehawks XIII scored early andmainatined the pressurethroughout the game.

Their defence was ‘solid andmeaningful’ as the teamresponded to the Hauraki Tiger’scoach’s remarks that theFirehawks were vulnerable ondefence.

The Tigers were restricted toa solitary try midway throughthe first half.

Coach Rangitonga was par-ticularly pleased with his goalkickers nailing nine of 12 con-

versions after going into thematch with only a 30% successrate.

The improvement was due tothe team strapper, Jeff Barton,taking the kickers for some one-on-one practise sessions.

Halfback Henare Raukawalanded eight from 11 attempts,while stand off Kevin McCallumwas successful with his onlykick.

Firehawks try scorers were I.Howell (2), N. Torea (2), C.Rehua, D. Tupaea, A. Waho, S.Te Huia, T. Morgan, Q. Hunapo,K. McCallum, H. Raukawa.

Magic fate in own hands

TC030708SP01UNDER PRESSURE: Captain Amigene Metcalfeneeds to produce an inspirational performancefor Magic against the Tactix.

BY COLIN THORSEN

Waikato/Bay of Plenty Magic have been joined byAustralian side Swifts at the top of the ANZChampionship netball leaderboard after losing 47-44to the Steel.

The Magic go into their final game against theTactix on Saturday, 2.30pm, as the No. 1 side -clinging to a two goal advantage over the Swifts.

‘‘We must now beat the Tactix and try to enhanceour goal differential to put pressure on the Swifts,’’Magic coach Noelene Taurua told the Courier.

The Swifts final game is against the Fever, twodays later in Perth on Monday night.

These two games will decide first and second,with the top team gaining the all-important homesemi-final advantage.

‘‘We’re expecting no favours from the Tactix atMystery Creek,’’ says Taurua.

‘‘They have nothing but pride to play for but I’msure they will be keen to finish their campaign on awinning note.’’

Having built slowly through the season to aposition where they could play a style to suit theconditions, the Colourplus Magic returned to days ofold with a faltering attacking effort in the loss to theSteel at Stadium Southland on Monday night.

Fortunately, the Magic had established enough ofa buffer to retain top equal spot with one round to go.But their capitulation on attack against the Steel iscause for concern while at the same time giving theclose-chasing pack reason for optimism.

The Magic certainly had their moments in anintense, physical and fast-paced match against thetalented Steel but too often were guilty of sloppypassages and soft turnovers.

‘‘I felt we lost that game ourselves,’’ said Taurua.‘‘We certainly had enough ball and opportunities

to win it.‘‘Our attacks were at sixes and sevens, we didn’t

have good links in the goal third and we became verydisjointed very quickly. At times we were able tobring it back but it was more through desperationthan control.

‘‘A lot of what we do is unnecessary and we bringit on ourselves.’’

Coming off a six-game winning streak, high-lighted by the patient and systematic dismantling ofthe Queensland Firebirds, Taurua believes thehiccups on attack are more a mindset rather than theresult of pressure from the opposition.

‘‘It’s up to us to learn from what we’ve beenthrough. It’s not a matter of going back to thedrawing board, it’s just fixing some little things thatwill click us into gear and that’s all it is.

‘‘We’re getting a lot of ball in hand, there’s somenice things we are doing but just not enough.’’

Defensively the Magic are the equal, if not better,than any team in the competition and the coachbelieves old fashioned grind and hard work is thekey on attack.

‘‘We rely on everyone being on their game everytime we take the court and if they’re not we have tohave something else in our back pocket,’’ she said.

‘‘And at the moment, that’s what we’re missing,the grind in that attacking end - the simple things,the re-set, the go again, the plod, the hard yards ...that plan B.

‘‘The nature of this competition means you’realways going to get ups and downs. We’re still No. 1so we’ve just got to make sure we take control of ourown fate.’’
