Tautokongia te reo MaoriAs Maori Language Week

begins, one of the nation’s oldestrepresentatives’ groups, TeKaunihera Maori o Aotearoa, theNew Zealand Maori Council, hascalled on more Kiwis to know alittle more Te Reo and to not beafraid to use a few kupu (words)every day.

National executive memberTane Cook, who chairs the Coun-cil’s Te Reo, Culture and Com-munity Committee, says thatwhile more Kiwis are embracingTe Reo, others can make a differ-ence with a few words to start offwith.

“Te Reo Maori is not just oneof our national languages, it’s

part of our culture, the fabric ofour history and a defining aspectthat sets all of us apart fromother countries,” says Tane. “Mymessage this Maori LanguageWeek is for those who areworried they won’t pronouncethe words properly to still have ago using things such as “kia ora”or “morena”.

“Then there are words such as“whanau” for family and “mahi”for work. So, for our non-Maoribrothers, sisters and cousinsease into it, such as your staffarriving for work — “Morenaand welcome to mahi!”,” saysTane.

“For our Whanau Maori out

there, who are a little worried orconcerned that they might notmake a good job of it, kia kaha,never be afraid to also give it ago.

“We have so many marae andhapu around the country doingamazing things when it comes toour reo, such as courses andlanguage nights, that its easy toget involved. Like all things withour people and our culture itwould be great to see all Maorilearning not only te reo but alsotikanga (protocols), pepeha(where they are from) andwhakapapa, so when it comes tothe next generation more of uscan pass that knowledge on.”

Tane says you don’t have totalk — you can also sing.

“Take the opportunity to re-discover some classics from TuiTeka and Howard Morrison orsome traditional waiata,” hesays.

“Let all of our voices be heardthis Maori language week,”

The New Zealand MaoriCouncil is holding or supportingevents around Aotearoa.

“Kia mai, kia u ki to tatou ReoMaori hai taonga tukuiho mongae whakatipuranga hou.”

“Remain steadfast to the useof the Maori language so that itmay be passed to the next genera-tion.”

Living with daughter’skiller as they searched

NA NATALIE AKOORIE

They moved into theirmissing daughter’s houseto look after their grand-children as the townsearched for her. Little didthey know, they were liv-ing with her killer.

On Friday CoryJefferies was sentenced toat least 11 years in jail inthe Hamilton High Courtfor the murder of the42-year-old mother of histhree children, KimRichmond.

He admitted at trial inJuly to killing her, butdenied murder.

Richmond disappearedon July 31, 2016 after thecouple drove home from afunction in Arohena.

Her body was found bypolice in her ute in nearbyLake Arapuni 11 monthslater.

Speaking exclusively toNZME, mother RaywynneRichmond said she andhusband Matt Richmond,Kim’s father, moved inwith Jefferies to look aftertheir grandchildren, stay-ing for four months.

“We had a map of thewider area which welooked at every morningto see where we weregoing to search next.

“And he stood thereand he looked at that mapevery morning, but nevercame on the search.

“It was really strangethat he had never gone ona search, at all.”

The Richmondssearched the area for eightmonths.

“I knew after a weekwe weren’t going to findher alive,” Matt said.

“But we just carried onto find her.”

The couple hadcomforted Jefferies whiletheir daughter was miss-ing.

“He came back frombeing interviewed by thepolice one day and hewalked in the door, a tearcame out of his eye and hesaid ‘I think they think Idid it’,” Raywynne said.

“I put my hands on hisshoulders and said ‘Welldid you?’, and he said ‘No’.

“So I gave him a cuddleand a kiss and said ‘Wellwe believe you then’, and

the tears stopped like that.“He thought he had got

away with it becausethey’d searched the lakeby then and foundnothing.”

And when Kim’s farmcards were found on theroadside near Rangipo,Jefferies told Raywynne:“Oh that takes the heat offme”.

“While they weresearching for their daugh-ter, Jefferies started a newrelationship,” Raywynnesaid.

“Here we were, still

searching for her and hehad started a new relation-ship. We were horrified atthat.”

The woman was notthe same one Jefferiesadmitted to police hekissed in the months lead-ing up to Kim’s death.

“We felt uncomfortablebeing there and I just saidto Matt, ‘I think it’s timewe went home’.

She said she first sus-pected Jefferies aboutseven months after herdaughter disappeared.

“I had suspected he

was the guilty party butnever said it. I thought itwas strange that nothinghad been found, that’swhy.” But her husbandwasn’t convinced.

“Matt . . . nearly hit oneof the detectives,”Raywynne said.

“Matt was adamant hedidn’t do it. Even whenthey arrested him.”

The 75-year-old formerlogging truck driver andmusician went fromshocked to angry.

When it comes to choosing the rightnecklace, length matters. A choker canbe a bold statement piece that elevatesa little black dress to a glamorous look.A low-hanging, thin-chained necklacecan make a casual tee-shirt look chic andsophisticated. Here is a cheat sheet toselecting the right length.35cm –This is referred to as a choker style.Fits close to the neck and sits above the neckof most clothing. Perfect for anything casualto formal clothes that keep the necklineopen, from v-neck shirts to strapless tops ordresses.40cm – Sits nicely on most collar lines,maybe slightly above or below dependingon your size. Wear this with open or highnecklines for an elegant look.45cm –This is the most common length.Rests elegantly against the collarbone,making this a popular choice for women.This is versatile enough to be paired withanything from little black dresses to sweaters

and open-collared shirts.50cm – Sits just below the collarbone. Perfectfor a casual or business look, and this hasa slimming effect as it draws the eye in avertical line.55cm – Lays above the bust or falls slightlybelow it. Use this with a buttoned-downblouse or even a strapless top or dress. Forthe latter, the necklace can drape slightlyover the dress to lend sophistication to thelook.70-90cm –This length is very versatile asit goes straight over your head without theneed for a clasp. Ideal for beads or statementpieces, and large pendants often look morebalanced at this length and longer. A boldcolour or a large pendant at this length willbe the focal point of your outfit.100cm – can be knotted in the middle as afeature, or, if it has a clasp, it can be woundaround the neck twice in layers.The different necklace lengths also giveyou lots of room to experiment, and, moreimportantly, have fun with the look you want!You can layer different lengths together for aflexible, modern look as well.Our wonderful chain and pearl strandsuppliers can make any length to suit. We can

personalise an order by requesting a ‘finished’length.Body shape makes a big difference to thebest length: one size does not fit all in thiscase. What we are trying to achieve is eitherattention to or deflection from the bust.Longer length chains and pendants draw theeye down and shorter brings the attention up.Often it pays to avoid the length that dropsbetween.Come and see us to try the differentchain lengths and see which is bestfor you.

He has overseen the establishment ofTe Waka and since 2015 has been theprogramme manager for its forerunner,Waikato Means Business.

Dallas says Harvey’s experience andcontacts in the Waikato region, alongwith his detailed knowledge of how TeWaka will work, made him the frontrunner for chief operating officer.

“We are delighted Harvey hasaccepted the role and I know he will bepart of a formidable team alongsideMichael and the board.”

Dallas also acknowledged the work ofTe Waka’s interim CEO, Stuart Gordon,who will continue to run WaikatoInnovation Park and the Food Inno-vation (Waikato) spray drier.

“We’re very grateful for the leader-ship and support he and the Park haveprovided and look forward to continu-ing to work in partnership with him andhis team moving forward.”

Loanwords are any Maori words usedin New Zealand English.

She has focused specifically on thetopic of Te Wiki o te Reo Maori, MaoriLanguage Week.

Katie has analysed which words aremost common in association with thetopics, how they are being used, and hasfound a significant increase in use overtime.

No forgiving loving daughter’s killer

Red roses sit underneath a cross erected at the spotwhere Kim Richmond was found in Lake Arapuni.

Photo / Alan Gibson

From page 3

While on remand heaccused Raywynne and Mattof stealing “matrimonialproperty” when they wereforced to pack up the farm-house Jefferies and Kimrented together.

But despite their ownfeelings for Jefferies, thecouple told the childrentheir father was “innocentuntil proven guilty”.

“When he admitted to themanslaughter we sat themall down and said Dad hadadmitted to killing mum.

“When I sat them downand said ‘Well he’s beenconvicted of murder whichmeans he’ll get a longer termin prison’, they just said‘Oh’.

“At the end of the dayhe’s still their father regard-less of what he’s done.”Unforgivable

“Jefferies’ selfish actionshave stolen both parentsfrom the children,”Raywynne said.

“That’s the really, reallysad part is he didn’t think ofthose children in doing whathe did, did he? Or was he sococky that he thought hewould never get caught?

“By the time he gets outof prison they’re all going tobe adults.” Raywynne saidthe family can “never, everforgive” Jefferies for Kim’smurder.

Speaking at Jefferies’sentencing, she told him: “Ihope you rot in prison thesame as you left our Kim torot in the lake, and we never

got to say goodbye.”“We’ll never ever forget

what’s happened, how it’shappened,” she told theNZME.

“I just say to myself‘Why, why, would you takethe children’s mother awayfrom them, just because youwere unhappy?’.

“And that’s what itamounts to, because he wasunhappy, ‘well I’ll just takeyou away, get rid of you’ andthat’s really quite sad.”

Knowing the truth now— that Jefferies murderedKim and lied about it foralmost a year — infuriatesRaywynne.

“I’m absolutely disgustedfor the way he treated thechildren. To think he hadthe cheek to tell the childrentheir mother had driven offand left them.

“How he got his youngdaughter to ring hermother’s phone and say‘Mummy when are youcoming home? I need you’.”

The couple have custodyof the children for now.

“It’ll be up to the childrenif they want to see him.”

They believe the rightverdict was delivered whenJefferies was convicted inthe High Court at Hamiltonof murdering his partner of26 years.

Jefferies said it was man-slaughter, at the last minuteclaiming he killed Kim witha closed-fist back hand blowto her head in the ute, butRaywynne doesn’t acceptthat and an autopsy wasinconclusive.

After Kim’s body wasfound police warned thefamily Jefferies would bearrested.

But they were caught off-guard on the day beforeKim’s funeral when policeswooped on Jefferies as thefamily walked into a TeAwamutu funeral home.

Jefferies was nonchalantas he was arrested.

“He handed the [car] keyto Matt and said ‘Here, takethat. They’re arresting me’.”

While Jefferies was inSpringhill on remand andawaiting trial, Raywynneasked him to “do right bythe children” and admit tocausing Kim’s death.

“And his cocky littleanswer was ‘Oh I will, I’ll getout of here and prove I didn’tdo it’.

“How could he hold thatin for two years? I find thatvery hard to believe thatsomewhere along the line hehasn’t wanted to say or let itslip.”

Because of Jefferies’deceit, Kim’s body was sobadly decomposed frombeing under water for solong that the family were notallowed to see her.

“So we never got to saygoodbye.”

Instead the children,Zinzan, then 13, Mitchell, 11and Jasmine, 8, wrote “loveand miss you mum” onKim’s coffin.

“It was hard and then tohave to tell them he wasn’tcoming home.”

After the trial Matt layawake at night thinking of

his eldest daughter and herwatery grave.

The graphic way inwhich Kim’s body was dis-covered, in the back seat,missing clothing from thetop half of her body and withher rugby jersey tied acrossthe back of her neck, was ashock and haunts her par-ents.

“After hearing all thestuff in the court about howKim was found, about whathe’d done to her, eh,”Raywynne said.

“That was the hurtingpart.”A loving daughter, mum

Raywynne describes herdaughter as placid, fun-loving, and a sports fanatic.

“Kim never had a badword to say about anyone.She didn’t care what you

looked like, she didn’t carehow you dressed.”

“Her house was alwaysopen to people,” Matt said.“You couldn’t challenge herat a game of any kind ofsport. Even if she’d neverplayed it she’d learn andbeat you.”

The former Bay of Plentytable tennis champion tookher children up mountains,kayaking, swimming,played touch rugby withthem and even jumped inthe mud if they wanted herto.

The couple are tryinghard to keep their grand-children involved in sportthe way their mother did butat 70 Raywynne says it’s noteasy.

“I was looking forward tospending time with my

grandkids in retirement, butnot like this,” Matt said.Police work

The couple are grateful topolice for their determina-tion to find their daughter’sbody.

“When they found Kim, Ijust had to go and shaketheir hand,” Matt said of thedozens of divers and policeat the Arapuni boat ramp inJune last year.

The police “hung in thereto the bitter end,” Raywynnesaid.

Waikato Police DetectiveSenior Sergeant RossPatterson said the investi-gation team could not dis-cuss the inquiry includingthe technology that enabledpolice to track Jefferiescellphone GPS data to thelake, because it was stillwithin the appeal period.

Up to 23 staff worked onthe investigation whichspanned two years, includ-ing the National Dive Squad,Land Search and Rescue, theEagle helicopter and special-ist search teams.

“The investigation teamand police as a whole aresatisfied that Mr Jefferieshas been held to account forthe death of Ms Richmond,”Patterson told NZME.

“However the return ofKim to her family — toprovide some sense ofclosure and an understand-ing of how events unfolded— is the greatest satisfactionfor the investigation team.”

Ko Wharepuhunga te maungaKo Puniu te awaKo Tainui te wakaKo Raukawa te iwiKo Te Mapu o Te Rangatahi matou,No Raukawa ki Wharepuhunga.

The region’s newestkapa haka group — TeMapu o Te Rangatahi — isin training to take part inits first major event laterthis month.

Te Mapu o TeRangatahi was initially asuccessful rangatahiwananga held atRawhitiroa Marae lastyear.

It was through thevision of parents to pro-vide a wider exposure tokapa haka for theirtamariki that they looked

outside the region andbrought the rangatahi(youth) back togetheragain.

Te Mapu o Te Rangatahikapa haka is made up of —but not limited to — ngauri o nga marae o Raukawaki Wharepuhunga and hasattracted whanau fromAuckland, Rotorua, Tau-ranga and Hamilton, repre-senting eight schools, allrolled up under thekorowai of Te Mapu o TeRangatahi.

Parent Janine Manu-

kau says kapa hakareflects many values par-ents want for theirtamariki — tino rangatira-tanga (leadership),

manaakitanga (caring),kotahitanga (unity) and,most importantly,whanaungatanga, the con-cept of wellbeing and relat-

ing to others.“To us (Raukawa) kapa

haka is a way to revitaliseour whakapapa, waiata,history and stories — sowhat better waka to use toteach our tamariki,” saysJanine.

The group has expertkaiako and comes togetherto train weekends inpreparation to compete inthe 46th annual HaurakiFestival, held this year onSeptember 28 in the Coro-mandel.

“Of course behind every

successful group is a dedi-cated team of parents andwhanau who are just aspassionate and committedand who are learningalongside their tamariki,”says Janine. “Everyoneinvolved is excited andlooking forward to travel-ling and performing at thefestival.

“The group also has thebacking and support ofPuniu River Care, All InScaffolding, HekeContractors and K&KContractors.

MPI joins forces with forestryindustry on biosecurity readinessThe Ministry for Primary Indus-

tries and the New Zealand ForestOwners Association (FOA) are

joining forces under the GIA (Govern-ment Industry Agreement) to improveforest biosecurity preparedness.

The first jointly-funded initiativeunder this partnership will be a forestbiosecurity surveillance programmedesigned to detect unwanted forestpests and pathogens in high-risk places.

FOA and MPI recently signed theCommercial Plantation Forestry SectorOperational Agreement for Readinessunder the GIA.

“This agreement establishes a newway of working in partnership betweenthe two organisations and will see adoubling of efforts to improve forest

biosecurity readiness,” says AndrewSpelman, MPI’s Acting Director,Biosecurity Readiness.

“This continuing partnership willbuild on the considerable contributionthe forest industry has made tobiosecurity to date, and we look for-ward to collaborating to improvebiosecurity processes and outcomes forNew Zealand.”

Chair of the FOA and Farm ForestryAssociation Biosecurity Committee,David Cormack, says the forest indus-try is delighted to be working with MPIon the new Forest Biosecurity Surveil-lance Programme.

“We’ve worked closely together fora long time but joint-funding is anotherlevel and demonstrates the commit-

ment MPI has made to the forestindustry.”

The FOA have been a GIA signa-tory since November 2015.

Operational Agreement negotia-tions began in 2016, with a particularemphasis on cost-sharing forestry sur-veillance as a readiness activity.

Existing biosecurity readinesswork in the sector includes an annualforest health survey, which the Gov-ernment started in the 1950's, but hasbeen fully funded by industry since the1990's.

It also includes MPI’s High Risk SiteSurveillance Programme, which looksfor pests and diseases that could affecta range of native and exotic trees,including production species.

Emission price should incentiviseDR TIMMACKLEEmissions prices suggested

by the Productivity Com-mission would see a sig-

nificant impact on the NewZealand agricultural sector ifthe sector faced a full emissionsprice under the EmissionsTrading Scheme without atechnological solution toreduce methane emissions,says DairyNZ chief executiveDr Tim Mackle.

DairyNZ believes thatsustainable dairy farming has acritical role to play in NewZealand’s future prosperity andwellbeing.

“We are committed to suc-cessfully farming withinenvironmental limits, includingclimate change commitments”,says Tim.

The Commission’s finalreport Low Emissions Econ-omy, released today, suggeststhat over the next thirty yearsNew Zealand’s emissions priceshould rise to at least $75 pertonne of carbon dioxide equiva-lent, and possibly to over $200 atonne.

“We can’t expect the aver-age dairy farmer in 2050 to facea yearly emissions cost in thevicinity of $231,800,” says Tim.

“Emissions prices need toincentivise best environmentalpractices. But at these prices,without a split gas approach orthe availability of methanereducing technology, we wouldbe unfairly penalising New

Zealand farmers.”Although no decision has

been made on agriculture mov-ing into the Emissions TradingScheme, Tim says a transitionperiod for the sector is essen-tial for any low emissionspathway the Governmentdecides to take.

“There needs to be a fairand stable transition for thesector while a methane vaccineor inhibitor is developed,” hesays.

“We know there needs to becontinued and significantGovernment-Industry fundingfor this to occur within the nextthirty years.”

The Commission alsorecommended the Governmentincrease its yearly funding forresearch into methane miti-gation technologies to a levelthat better reflects the poten-

tial value of successful out-comes.

“Measures like plantingtrees and riparian margins willhelp,” says Tim.

“But even with a significantfocus on forestry planting wewouldn’t see the requireddecrease in agriculturalemissions without methanereducing technologies, or sig-nificant land use changes”.

“As a dairy sector, we areabsolutely up to play our partin this challenge, and that iswhy we’ve been investing inresearch and development, aswell as farmer awareness, formany years.

“Having said that, it needsto be workable and the settingsneed to be right. The devil is inthe detail, and we need to takethe time to understand this600-page report, says Tim.

Many of the key changes theCommission states must occuris substantial afforestation ofup to 2.8 million hectares, witha particular focus to increasedplanting on land currently usedfor sheep and beef farming.

The report also says someshift from agriculture to lower-emissions land uses such ashorticulture is required.

“Many farmers are alreadyforesters, and many more arelooking for opportunities toincrease planting on theirfarms,” says Dr Mackle. “Look-ing to the future, there mayalso be increasing numbers offarmers looking to diversifyinto other food productionopportunities by introducingcropping into their land.

“We know New Zealand iswell placed to focus our foodproduction at the premium endof the market, and this will leadto changes to the current sys-tem over time.

“We must keep in mind thatmany farmers have alreadybeen making significantchanges and financialinvestments to their farm sys-tems to improve their environ-mental sustainability.

“We all want a fair andstable transition for the agricul-tural sector and we are commit-ted to work alongside Kiwifarmers as we make this transi-tion to a low emissions econ-omy.”

Nga ingoa Maorimo nga whetu-aoFor Maori Language Week we’re looking at

the names of the main objects in te whanaua Tamanuitera (the Solar System).

This is a bit tricky because different iwi havedifferent names for celestial objects, complicatedfurther by some disagreement over the “correct“names.

In consultation with various tohunga over theyears I’ve developed a list of common nameswhich I’ll share below, starting at the centre of tewhanau a Tamanuitera and working outwards.This is not an exhaustive list — just the names Ihear most often.

The Sun’s personified name is Tama-nui-te-ra— but as an astronomical object it is usually justcalled te ra.

Mercury is Takero, Aparangi or Whiro.Venus has different names depending on

whether it appears in the evening or morning. Itcan be Kopu (evening or morning), Tawera(evening, but more commonly morning) orMeremere-tu-ahiahi (evening).

Earth has the personal name Papatuanuku,but as a globe it is referred to as te ao.

The Moon is usually Marama but issometimes called Rona.

Mars is usually Matawhero, sometimesTumataueka.

Jupiter can be Parearau, Kopunui orRangawhenua.

Saturn is Parearau in some dialects, leadingto some confusion between it and Jupiter. Morecommonly it’s called Rongo, occasionally Roko.

The last two planets are not generally visiblewith the naked eye and were discovered after theinvention of telescopes. Therefore they weren’tknown to traditional Maori astronomers (tohungakokorangi) and their names are modern additionsto te reo Maori.

Uranus is Rakipo, Wherangi, or Rangipo.Neptune is Tangaroa or Takaroa.If you’re interested in learning more about

tatai arorangi (Maori astronomy), there are anumber of websites and a few books that coverthe topic. However, you do need to be aware thatthere are some questionable resources out there.Be careful and pay attention to the sourcesbehind the material.

My preferred authority is Dr Rangi Matamuaof the University of Waikato, one of the foundersof the Society of Maori Astronomy Research andTraditions (www.maoriastronomy.co.nz).Anything with his name on it can be trusted.

Ellery excels in Poland

Luka Ellery produced a world-class performance in Poland.

NA COLIN THORSEN

Te Awamutu rower LukaEllery excelled at the Under 23World Championships inPoznan, Poland, finishing sixthin the women’s double scull Afinal.

It was the fourth time Elleryhas competed for New Zealand,having previously been in jun-ior, under 21 and one other under23 team.

“I always feel a great sense ofpride in wearing the Silver Fernas it represents a lot of things toKiwis, like passion andstrength,” she said.

The just turned 22-year-oldand and her double scull partnerNicola Baker (originally fromTauranga Rowing Club) went toworld champs with the goal ofbeing on the podium but the levelof competition turned out to behigher than they expected.

There were 19 crews in theirevent with the top five beingGreat Britain, Germany, Italy,Greece and Australia.

The New Zealanders had fourraces overall, placing third in theheat, first in the repechage, thirdin the semifinal and sixth in thefinal.

“The final race went by veryquickly,” Ellery said. “We knewthat everybody would go outhard and fast so our plan was todo the same. Unfortunately thepace was just a little too quick forus which meant that we slippedout of the main bunch into aposition where it was hard tomake any ground.

“We still pushed it as much aswe could to the end and, despitenot finishing where we wantedto, we felt like we’d given it allthat we could.”

Ellery said the course inPoznan is one that is known foroften putting on a quick tailwindwhich she and Baker experi-enced most days leading up toracing. However, for most of therace days there was either a headwind or tricky side wind. Theexception was on finals daywhere it turned into a tailwindwith several world best timesbeing set, including by theBritish crew that won thewomen’s double scull final.

Ellery, Baker and their coachMatt Cameron from the WaikatoRowing Club all agreed thatthey’d done everything theycould and that the competitionhad just been stronger.

“It was pretty exciting toqualify for the final, especially asthe semifinal was such a closerace,” Ellery said. “The calibrewas very high this year so it waspleasing to at least be in the finalwith such strong competitors.

“Poland were great hosts andseemed to have everything wellorganised. We were lucky to bestaying at a hotel that was righton the edge of the course so wecould watch racing from ourrooms.”

Waikato wins Shield

Waikato has leap-frogged from theignominy of 10 straightlosses to the glory of asecond Mitre 10 Cupwin on the bounce andwinning the RanfurlyShield.

For the third time ina row, Taranaki sawtheir reign with theRanfurly Shield endedby the Mooloos at Yar-row Stadium in NewPlymouth on Sunday,with Waikato runningrampant over the hoststo claim an impressive33-19 win and hoist theLog of Wood.

The visitorsstunned Taranaki byscoring five tries in thefirst half, taking a 33-7lead in what was theirbest 40 minutes of foot-ball this season.

Dwayne Sweeney, AdamBurn, James Tucker, SamisoniTaukei’aho and Quinn Tapaeawere the try scorers with Flet-cher Smith adding fourconversions.

While Taranaki gave awaypenalties and coughed up thefootball, Waikato remaineddisciplined and didn’t miss anopportunity to strike.

Ahead by 26 at the break, itwas a convincing margin — butby no means a safe one. WhenTaranaki won the Shield againstCanterbury last year, the Bullscame back from a 31-7 deficit.

Out of the break, they lookedset on repeating that feat, withManasa Mataele and SetaTamanivalu running in earlytries to close the gap to 14.

Despite the two early secondhalf tries to the holders, Waikatowere able to repel that momen-tum and close out the game overthe remaining 30 minutes with-out conceding any furtherpoints.

The Mitre 10 Cup victory in acrossover clash gives Waikato’sChampionship campaign a shotin the arm.

The triumphant Waikatoteam has many Waipaconnections who will no doubthave all poured over the mostfamous piece of silverware inprovincial rugby that took prideof place on board their joyousbus ride home.

Coaches Jono Gibbes andNathan White are from Te Awa-mutu, as is squad member JonoArmstrong and team doctor Paul

Kennedy. Armstrong’s Hautapuclub mates, lock LaghlanMcWhannell and flanker MitchJacobson were in the startingline-up, while Sekope Lopeti-Moli, Ayden Johnstone and SamCaird were injected into thegame off the reserve bench.Mosese Dawai (Otorohanga) wasalso among the reserves.

Waikato has little time toreflect on their stunning victory— their first Shield defence isagainst Hawke’s Bay at FMGStadium Waikato on Thursday.

If they beat Hawke’s Bay,their remaining defences for 2018will be against Southland (Sep-tember 29) and Otago (October13).

Waikato boasts the third bestShield record behind only Auck-land and Canterbury.

Alex Heaney just gets betterand better each outing on hisracing bike in 2018.

The 24-year-old Spoken Cyclesmechanic added to his alreadyimpressive CV winning Te Awa-mutu Cycling Club’s 100km Agrade club championship racebased at Korokonui.

Heaney covered the four lapsof the Wharepuhunga, Hingaia,Bayley, Lethbridge Rd circuit in2hr 24m 05s, winning a sprintfinish from Logan Griffin andXander White.

All three of the medallists arepart of the new GD Pringle/Spoken Cycles Team for theupcoming season.

The race started outside theKorokonui School in the rainwith a tailwind. There were a fewflurries of attacks early onresulting in Griffin, Noah Costarand Matias Fitzwater gaining a10 seconds lead 5km in.

Heaney applied the pressureto see if the chasing group couldbring that gap down, resulting inthe front runners being caughtafter 10km at the top of theWharepuhanga climb.

With the pace on, a few gapsstarted to appear.

Heaney and Griffin attackedagain straight away and no oneone followed, although White didget across to the leading pair a

few minutes later.The trio settled in, working

well together, quickly openingup a minute gap with three lapsto go.

“With no chasers in sight, wehad no idea what was happeningbehind us,” Heaney told theWaipa Post.

“It became a battle of attritionas riders one by one pulled out ofthe race.

“I relish these wet, windyconditions because I know otherriders don’t,” he said,

With half a lap to go, Griffin

made a solo effort to go clearwhile Heaney and White workedtogether to peg him back. Griffinthen went again and Heaneyfollowed, the pair temporarilydistancing White. It all cameback together for the only threeriders to complete the A graderace with a few kilometres to go.

White led out for the sprintfinish on Lethbridge Rd, makingthe first move, followed by Grif-fin. Heaney, however, managedto come round them both in thefinal metres to take the victory.

A delighted Heaney said he

was happy to nab the clubchamps victory after winningthe club’s Schwartfeger Cup backin July. He also won the Tara-naki Tour at Queen’s Birthdayweekend, as well as posting fast-est time in the Round The Moun-tain Classic in Taranaki.

Club secretary MelindaLoader reports that 75 ridersbraved the elements to contestthe club champs.

Riders raced in their usualgrade with medals awarded tothe first three club membersacross the finish line in each

grade and to the first woman ineach grade.

Riders from other clubs cancompete, however, only clubmembers can receive medals.

B and C graders raced overthree laps (75km).

Nathan Bunn took out the Bgrade title in 1.54.13, pippingMatt Douglas 2, Blair Taylor 3,Mike Gilbert 4 and the firstunder 17 rider home, JackCarswell 5, in a sprint finish.

Glen Crompton clocked2.07.19 winning the C grade fromSteven Pawley 2, Tom Mowbray3, Paul Butcher 4 and under 17rider Samuel Fraser 5 who allrecorded the same time as thewinner. First woman home andninth overall was Georgia Taylorin 2.23.40.

The 50km (two laps) D graderace was won by Mike Living-stone in 1.30.19, from BryceStilborn 1.30.21. Nicola Lewiscompleted the podium placingthird in 1.30.44. She was firstwoman.

Kevin Baker was the solitaryE grader to complete the 50kmjourney, claiming the gold medalin a time of 1.37.19. The one-lap,under 15 race went to BlakeBailey in 40.56, from MatthewDavis 41.17 and Jaxson Russell41.48.

The next major event is the TeAwamutu Open road race onSunday, October 7.

Avantidrome now a hub for cyclists of all abilities developing skills

As members of Waipa’s cyc-ling community contemplatesnuggling under the duvet for thenight, phones beep with one-word text messages.

Are they “riding” or“hiding”?

That’s code for whether theyspring out of bed and throw onthe lycra ready to pedal theboards of the Avantidrome . . . orpush snooze and double down ontheir kip.

The velodrome’s pre-dawn sil-houette is surrounded by cars. Astroll through the concrete tun-nel into the interior is prefacedby the whir of track bikes acrossthe tight grain of Siberianspruce.

The venue has proven a com-munity hub since opening in2014, bringing networks of peopletogether through exercise, dis-cipline and banter.

“That’s the stuff that makesthis place special,” generalmanager Scott Gemmill says.

“Medals are great from theelite athletes, and we are part-ners with Cycling New Zealandand High Performance SportNew Zealand, but there are threeprogrammes I want to grow: thejuniors, the trike and the para.

“They need to be the crownjewels here. The elite stuff issomebody else’s job.” Gemmillhas a favourite example of inte-gration within the building,gleaned from his trackside office.

“One guy was out therehaving a ball on his trike and

letting everyone know. Hecruised over to the corner wherethe elite sprint trio of EthanMitchell, Eddie Dawkins andSam Webster were seated, andconvinced them to get on thetrike so he could take themaround one-by-one.

“Eventually Sam decided hewanted to be more than a spec-tator. So the pair of them endedup hooning around the in-field.Sam was in his New Zealand kitand the kid was holding on.

“I thought, ‘I wish the worldcould see this’ because that’swhat’s unique about this facility.It’s not an environment ofpreciousness.” Gemmill cites get-ting ambushed by parents tellinghim how much the programmehas influenced their children’sattitude for the better.

“I admire the athletes andcongratulate them on theiraccomplishments, but it’s thesupport network behind themthat enables those moments,” hesays.

“The average person only seesthe big moments but there’s ahuge chunk of an iceberg belowthe surface that enables thosethings to happen.” MichaelBland is part of that iceberg,devoting seven or eight hours aweek as a coach, particularly inthe para programme.

Originally a Lancastrian, heand wife Janet emigrated fromBritain 13 years ago, intent onproviding a better childhood fortheir two primary school daugh-ters.

Bland’s lean and lithe stature

suggests he’s no stranger to danc-ing on the pedals or, as he puts it,“French stepping”. He lives “fiveminutes away” and has been partof Cambridge’s cycling commun-ity since arriving. As a nurse, hecommutes to his job as servicesmanager for mental health andaddictions at Rotorua Hospital,but that bedside manner alsohelps para-athletes transition tothe track.

“In my job, you know whatrehabilitation looks like forpeople who are severely injuredor carrying disabilities,” he says.

“It’s great seeing athletesenjoy being part of the sportingcommunity rather than living in

the shadows.“Paracycling is maturing in

the national psyche. You canturn up and ride safely andenjoyably and blank out yourdisability.” One of those is JackMcSweeney.

Matamata-based McSweeney,28, was a Hinuera Seniors secondfive-eighths until two years agowhen he was seriously injured intwo incidents on the rugby field— leaving him with a brokenneck and an amputated left arm.

McSweeney says the injury“pulled the nerves right out ofmy spine” but the thought ofgiving up never entered hismind. He had further surgical

setbacks too — the fusion of hisC1 and C2 spinal vertebrae, andthe insertion of a pacemaker todeal with phantom limb pain.Three fingers on his invisible lefthand “hurt 24/7” and, as it getsworse, it goes to his index fingerand thumb. When the painreaches his forearm he strugglesto converse.

Finding a suitable para sportproved tough because so much iswheelchair-based.

“They don’t go that well withone arm.” After triathlon, hesettled on cycling. He is aimingto reach the world champion-ships next March in the kilo timetrial, with the TokyoParalympics on the horizon.

Several seconds need shavingoff his current best, and that’swhere Bland is instrumental.

“My cycling has gone forwardin leaps and bounds under him. Ididn’t have the finesse with thepedal stroke and gear changes,but his knowledge is second tonone. I tell Blandy in laymanterms how I’m feeling, and heconverts it into bike-savvy stuffand vice versa.

“On the track it’s been harderto start with cornering, but I’velearned to adapt.” Gemmill sayswith McSweeney and a host ofothers developing, he can’t seewhy they can’t create a centre ofexcellence around paracycling.

“With the right people andsupport, the sky’s the limit, andthat sends a strong message tothe wider community aboutchanging perceptions andbreaking down stigma.”

NA COLIN THORSEN

Waipa rowers Holly Mills,Brooke Kilmister and RebeccaLeigh are still pinching them-selves after making the podiumat the 2018 World Rowing JuniorChampionships in Racice, CzechRepublic.

Mills (Waikato DiocesanSchool for Girls) and Kilmister(St Peter’s School, Cambridge)were members of the bronzemedal winning New Zealand jun-ior women’s four that alsoincluded Kayla Baker (NelsonRowing Club) and Grace Watson(St Paul’s Collegiate).

Mills told the Waipa Post thatit felt “simply amazing” standingon the podium after winningbronze.

“It was unreal. You keeprepeating the thought in yourhead, ‘I’m third in the world’.

“I knew all of my friends andfamily were at home watchingthrough the live stream.”

Mills said her crew alwaysbelieved throughout their cam-paign that they had a chance tomake the podium.

“We really started to believethat we had a real chance ofcoming home with a medal aftercompleting our first race — theheat, where we posted the fastestqualifying time.”

The New Zealand women’sfour had 15 crews in their event,including powerhouses USA,Italy, Romania and Australia.

By winning their heat, theKiwis automatically advanced tothe semi-final, while other crews

had to contest repechages.In the semis, Mills, Kilmister

and co. raced Italy and placedsecond, qualifying for the final. Astrong tail-wind helped thembreak the previous world fastesttime for the event. In the othersemi, the USA had also brokenthe record, making New Zealandthe third fastest crew to ever race

in the event.“We weren’t the biggest crew,

we relied on our fitness andability to work together as a crewto get us to the podium,” saidMills.

“We had expected to getdropped at the start of the race,and claw our way back into it —which is exactly what we did.

“Half way through the race wesat third, almost level with Italy,while the USA had retained theboat length lead they gained onus from the start. With 500metres to go we had leap-froggedItaly, however their sprint wastoo good for us and we finishedwith a bronze medal.”

Mills said crossing the line

was the most amazing feeling —“mainly relief”.

“Personally, I started to crybecause I was so overwhelmedwith emotions. It’s not everydayyou get to claim that you’re thethird best in the world.”

Kilmister said it was a toughrace and they did well to hold onfor bronze.

“It was all or nothing in thelast 500m,” she said. “We’ve beentogether for 10 weeks and it feelsvery special. We’re like sistersnow.”

Rebecca Leigh was a memberof the New Zealand juniorwomen’s quad that placed thirdin the B Final and ninth overall,racing alongside Mollie Gibson(Ashburton College), JaimeHarris (Whanganui Collegiate)and Sophie Egnot-Johnson(Westlake Girls). They placedthird in their heat, then secondin the repechage behind GreatBritain, sixth in the A/B semi-final and third in the B final.

“The food was so different,mainly because we didn’t have asingle piece of red meat availableto us the whole trip,” said Mills.“We stayed in a hotel on theoutskirts of Prague, whichhosted roughly 2000 guests eachday. Also in the hotel were theAmerican and Australian teams,and while our priority was torest and not socialise, we didmanage to make a few friendsfrom abroad.”

Mills and Leigh still haveanother year of school left, mak-ing them eligible for the NewZealand team again next year.

Dancing Queen was recorded andproduced with Cher’s long-time col-laborator Mark Taylor, who previouslyproduced Cher’s global smash Believewhich was number one in over 50countries.
