Hot response

Road tragedy avoidable Rugby teammates thrown from speeding car BY DEAN TAYLOR What should have been a night to cherish after winning their rugby final turned horribly wrong on Saturday night for five Otorohanga Rugby Club mates on their way home from Cambridge. The driver of the south bound Honda in which they were travelling failed to give way at the intersection of Rolleston Street and Whitmore Street in Kihikihi and the car collided with a Subaru travelling west along Whitmore Street at about 7pm. Two 25-year-old Otorohanga men who were passengers in the Honda died at the scene. They are Justin Michael Aikman and Shannon Thomas Hepi. The double road fatality was ‘‘totally avoidable’’

according to Waikato District Road Policing Manager, Inspector Leo Tooman. ‘‘Our officers have had to inform their families that their loved ones have died in circumstances that should never have occurred.’’ Mr Tooman said speed and the not wearing of seat belts were confirmed factors in the crash while the Serious Crash Unit was still working to establish what, if any, part alcohol played in the incident. The car at the centre of the double fatality had been stopped by Police for speeding earlier in the day. Police say the two men who died at the scene were thrown out of the Honda as it rolled. The three other occupants of the Honda and the sole occupant of the

FATAL SCENE: Two people died and four were hospitalised in a crash in Kihikihi when the driver of the Honda (seen upside-down in the residential front yard) failed to give way to the Subaru on Saturday evening.

Subaru were all admitted to Waikato Hospital suffering a variety of minor to moderate injuries. The five occupants of the Honda were returning from a 17-12 victory over Hautapu in Cambridge in the Premier B competition. Justin Aikman and Shannon Hepi were also both members of last year’s successful Te Awamutu Peace Cup team. The driver of the southbound Honda has been interviewed and told Police he thought he was still driving on an open stretch of road, despite travelling through four intersections in a residential area before crashing. Investigators are still trying to piece together events and say inconsistencies in some media coverage highlight their difficulties. They urge any witnesses who hadn’t already spoken to Police to make contact by phoning 872 0100. Mr Tooman said the Kihikihi crash was the district’s first multiple fatality of the year and came just five hours before emergency services would have marked a fatal free month of July.

Are we powerless to stop project? We fully agree with the letters published in last week’s Courier that were against the Council spending so much of our money on a museum/theatre complex. But what can we do? I understand there were referendums against the building of the Events Centre which is not fully utilised and we are still paying for it.

We are in a recession. Everything we buy costs more, and it will go up further. Does the Council not consider that 5 plus 5 plus 5 Million will probably cost another $2 Million in five years time? We can only stretch our pension so far. The Council should do the

same. The building to the left of the library, I assume was built at the same time. I would suggest that they move out the WDC engineers’ department to extend the library. If the building can be extended upwards, would this not be a far cheaper option? This building looks good

and is already there. If you think The Woolshed is not adequate, it could be modernised and expanded. But they rarely get full houses now. Our rates bill has just arrived and it seems we are paying $74 in the coming year for the Events Centre. JOHN and MARGARET NICHOLLS

I’m writing this letter to inform your readers that Regent Theatre in Te Awamutu is not responsible for the recent confusion in accepting our Hollywood Movie Money® vouchers. It simply came down to human error on our part. We would like to apologise to the public for any inconvenience this might have caused. BRAD SMITH General Manager, Hollywood Movie Money® New Zealand

One of school’s highlights was getting a temporary release from a science lesson to join the jostling sideline in support of Te Awamutu College First XV. It was important to be there for kick off. Big Rob Gordon always started with a stampede charge, frenzying us onlookers into idolising excitement. Then the ball would go wide and

Selwyn Hohepa would rampage up the middle, leaving bruised carnage in his wake. Memories live long, especially First XV rugby campaigns. Maybe if the champion Gwynne Shield squad aren’t poached TA College can once again chant Kia Kaha around Waikato’s schools. My thoughts are with frustrated coaches Lance and John. RICHARD HASTIE (WIZ)

Fur seal eyecatcher on road to Kawhia Te Awamutu 18-year-old Tyler Lindsay was thrilled to capture a fur seal about 10km inland from Kawhia — on film that is. He works for Te Awamutu Prepackers and was on his way to Kawhia for a job as a passenger in a company vehicle with a co-worker when he spotted the seal splashing about adjacent to Puti Bridge and Mangaroa inlet. When they returned 45 minutes later after completing their job, the seal

was up on the rocks and they were able to get within five metres of it. ‘‘At that stage it showed its teeth and got very grumpy,’’ Tyler says. ‘‘We didn’t want to get too close as I’ve seen them on videos and you can’t outrun them,’’ he says. ‘‘I’ve never seen one so far inland before. ‘‘It was up there getting mullet and it was low tide so it couldn’t get back, but it was having a field day with all the fish.’’

Plaques honour past, present volunteers The continued military service of volunteers that dates back to the 19th Century was honoured at two ceremonies held in Te Awamutu recently. Plaques were unveiled and dedicated at Old St John’s Church and Te Awamutu Museum to commemorate the contribution of the local regiment, the 4th Waikato Mounted Rifles. The unit’s history goes back to the time of the Land Wars in the 1860s and the eight plaques have been installed in various locations in which the Mounted Rifles operated in the Waikato district, from Te Kauwhata to Te Awamutu. The formation of the Cambridge Mounted Rangers Volunteers in 1869 started the story. They disbanded a year later, but in their place the Cambridge Cavalry Volunteers and Te Awamutu Cavalry Volunteers formed. In 1880 the Hamilton Cavalry Volunteers also formed, and these later later led to the creation of the Waikato Mounted Rifle VolunTC290710DT02

REVEREND George Allanson conducts the service for the unveiling of the plaque in Old St John’s Church. Pictured left is the photographic mural which has pride of place in Te Awamutu Museum showing men of the Waikato Mounted Rifles in the centre of Te Awamutu departing for service in World War I.

Bats, with all their enthralling intricacies and idiosyncrasies, were the subject of Darren Le Roux’s presentation at the recent AGM of Pirongia Te Aroaro o Kahu Restoration Society. New Zealand’s native bats have links to Australian and South American species, and, according to Mr Le Roux (pictured), don’t deserve their bloodsucking and disease carrying image. He described them as “cute and cryptic”, and his excellent visual presentation highlighted the need to preserve their habitat, of which large, old trees are particularly important. Mt Pirongia is home to native bats, as is Hamilton City — one of the only cities in the world known to have this privilege. Mr Le Roux encouraged everyone to learn to be alert to bats, and if possible, train up on using bat detectors through the public training available.

It is fitting the first plaque was placed in 154-year-old St John’s Church beside another memorial which commemorates the men who died in the Battle of Orakau. It was unveiled by WWII veteran Dudley Lorimer, with assistance from fellow veteran Len O’Regan. Mr Lorimar recalled being Christened in the old church as a youngster on an extremely hot day. He says the Bishop was in full robes, and he was Christened not by the font waters, but by the sweat of the Bishop’s brow. The other plaque in the Te Awamutu Museum is opposite a photographic mural which shows men of the Waikato Mounted Rifles in the centre of town departing for service in World War I. After the second unveiling, the ritual of Last Post, the Ode to the Fallen and Reveille was observed. Continued page 10.

teers in 1897 and then to the 4th Waikato Mounted Rifles when the Territorial Force was established in 1911. Battle Honours of the unit include South Africa 1899-1902, Gallipoli and the Middle East (WWI), and Italy (WWII). Currently, it is a part of the Royal New Zealand Armoured Corps and its role is to provide reconnaissance, surveillance and target acquisition to support the New Zealand Light Armoured Vehicle unit in its operations. The two ceremonies, and earlier ceremony in Cambridge, were attended by Officers, NCOs and men of the unit under the command of Major Simon Marriott. Also in attendance was Waipa Mayor Alan Livingston, five WWII veterans, eight Viet Nam veterans, members of the Te Awamutu RSA and the public.

From junior rugby players through to the Mooloo men - there was plenty for Te Awamutu rugby fans to celebrate at Waikato Stadium on Saturday night. Prior to the main game junior players from local clubs including Te Awamutu, Pirongia and Kihikihi joined hundreds of others in a march past, while at half-time the victorious Te Awamutu Gwynne Shield side were presented with their winners medals. Several local junior rugby players helped provide a guard of honour for the Waikato side to run through to open their ITM Cup campaign. The team was led onto the field by new captain Nathan White of Te Awamutu and were hoping to notch up their first win against the Bay of Plenty for seven years. In a nail-biting finish, Waikato did just that, holding on to win 13-10. Afterwards White admitted the game probably wasn’t pretty to watch, but was a great battle. ‘‘They’ve been the same for the last seven years or so and we’ve usually come out on the wrong side, so for the

BOB KERRIDGE

Animal lovers from as far away as Taumarunui, Ngaruawahia, Huntly, Hamilton gathered in Selwyn Park on Thursday to show support for the Te Awamutu SPCA and former shelter manager Dianne Gray. They chose the park as it was directly opposite St John’s where RNZSPCA national president Bob Kerridge was to arrive to meet with the committee of the Te Awamutu SPCA.

Helen Roberts from Horotiu was one of those who turned up to show her support. She says she wanted to be there as she believes in the work of the Te Awamutu SPCA and the marvellous job that Dianne Gray has done for many years. ‘‘I think it’s important that Te Awamutu people also consider the future of their animal shelter, after all they were the people who fundraised for it and helped build it.’’

The one and a half hour meeting between Mr Kerridge and the Te Awamutu SPCA committee was closed to the public. When questioned afterwards Te Awamutu SPCA acting chairperson Bruce Gray said the meeting was cordial and provided an opportunity for the committee to air their concerns. When questioned further about the future of the shelter he said a new manager would be

needed before control of it would be returned to the Te Awamutu SPCA committee. Mr Gray thanked Waipa councillor Michael Cox for chairing the meeting. Mr Kerridge said the meeting was an opportunity to bring the committee up to date with the current situation, hear their concerns, and look at ways forward. ‘‘It was a constructive and helpful meeting which I am sure will bring some resolve.’’

YOUR LETTERS

Facilities not ‘adequate’ Te Awamutu cannot I wish to comment on the letters published on July 27 which are critical of the the proposed museum/theatre complex. Neither the museum nor the library is ‘‘perfectly adequate’’ as Pat Bishop claims. The library is cramped with little space between the stacks, inadequate shelving to hold and display books and a low ceiling exacerbates the oppressive atmosphere. It is incapable of serving the community and schools adequately now, let alone ‘‘for years to come’’. There is insufficient space for people to sit and read in comfort and little work space or facilities for research. If the staff work areas are the same as the public space they cannot be an efficient, pleasant working environment. I understand the museum holdings are not all in the same building. Do the off-site storage facilities meet modern museum standards? The public space in the museum is well utilised, but

there is an urgent need for more display areas. The men’s toilet, which serves both museum and library, is a poor advertisement for a town and country that prides itself on its modernity; I presume the women’s facilities are in the same condition. The staff is the saving grace of both institutions, but more spacious and better designed buildings would allow them to function still more effectively. On the points made by other writers. First, I believe that Te Awamutu, a major centre in Waipa, should have attractive and functional public buildings that will cater for an increasing population. Secondly, the current recession will pass and our community will be able to afford the building project which is, after all, not going to start tomorrow. Thirdly, the suggestion of either extending or renovating existing buildings alarms me because such projects end up costing far more than predicted with invariably disappointing results which lead to further

demands for funds to remedy defects. Fourthly, the author of the suggestion that we transfer the museum holdings to the Waikato Museum of Art and History seems unaware that it is already cramped for space. Local critics feel it does not adequately serve both art and history. It is incapable of serving the interests of Waipa residents in the way our museum does, as exemplified by recent temporary exhibitions. Fifthly, the idea that we use the new Claudelands Events Centre recalls to mind the proposal, hopefully defunct, of a Waikato Super City which would see the ratepayers of Waipa funding further Hamilton Councillors’ grandiose plans, for example the V8’s. To believe that we could use Hamilton facilities without Waipa ratepayers being levied is a fantasy. Michael Cox, and his committee, are to be congratulated on choosing an architectural style that is both elegant and functional. PAUL ETHEREDGE

Negativity disappointing I am disappointed to read so many negative sentiments in your paper regarding the new Museum concept. When I look at the amount of effort others are investing in our town it does show a certain faith in the future. The pity is these are all either tin sheds or concrete bunkers and share little with the character of the main street. Most of the double storey buildings facing Alexandra Street were built in the 1920s and 30s, and they would not be considered prosperous times, yet have proved durable and still attractive. For over 20 years I have been aware of the desire to build a new Museum and now the momentum has gained acceptance from a large section of the community. The Vision 2050 committee of Council which spent two years coming to a vision as to how they would like our town to look came to the conclusion that the one thing

that sets Te Awamutu apart from any other Waikato town is our rich history from pre European times and the events of the middle 19th Century. Our town can build on this and the proposed new complex can be the heart. I am thankful that we have so many in the community who are prepared to get involved and aspire to something better, more permanent and more visually attractive. The process has to start somewhere and where better than with the stunning concept developed by the best architects NZ can produce. As a community we have benefited from the investments of past generations and I am sure there are many like myself who are happy to leave something substantial for our children and grandchildren to enjoy. It may take 10 years to reach fruition but I believe well worth the wait. ALAN EMPSON

live on sport alone

Come on Te Awamutu; where is your soul? Not everyone in our town is entirely interested in sport, sport and sport. Many of us believe history, art, music, dance and theatre are at the very essence of our humanity. The beautiful design for our museum/theatre complex is no more grand than the Cambridge Town Hall built nearly a century ago. This is the 21st Century. Te Awamutu lost its town hall 47 years ago to what is now the library and museum. We were promised at that time that we would have a new town hall. Since then I have had my children and grandchildren. Two generations have passed and we still wait. Tauranga built their museum/ theatre complex 25 years ago. It has proved to be a wonderful success. The planned building is still 10 years away. There will always be roads to build, drains to dig and footpaths to lay. A few years ago the (sports) Events Centre was opposed by many. What a great asset to our town that

has become. Why the negativity? Have some vision Te Awamutu. Much of the opposition to this venture comes from people who don’t even know that the Competition Society of Performing Arts has held a festival here (currently in September) for the last 58 years. This festival has record entries again this year from all over New Zealand. Venues which include church and school halls are cold unsuitable and uncomfortable. As to the museum; Te Awamutu’s surrounding area is rich in history. I’m appalled at the suggestion of transferring what we have to Waikato Museum never to be seen again. Be proud of your heritage. Know who you are! Te Awamutu has had a museum since 1936, and was among the first small towns to establish one, originally above Giffords bookshop, next by the swimming pool in Teasdale Street, then to its present position. History does not stand still. The wealth and value of our treasures grows. Our town is what it is because of the foresight of our forebears. JANE FINCH

Complex plans seem flashy I would like to agree with Bernard Westerbaan’s comments about the ongoing cost plus maintenance towards the ‘complex’. Seems ‘flashy’. Is the new millennium thing like ‘bling on a rapper’ or is it just pomp and palaver for someone’s personal namesake ‘legacy’ for a museum/ call it whatever you want. I thought the antiquated bronze plague with the persons names on it was so 20th century era. I see our rates have increased once again, thanks WDC. I do wonder if during the depression in 1929 whether the rates increased, or was it more likely that people who may have been finding times hard were helped by the governing bodies that had no choice but to pay the cost of the reapers? Now as to the ‘bling building’ plans, can I just say The Kauri Museum, Matakohe, Northland could go OTT and have a modern

bling building for the donations given on entry. What makes people visit by the thousands? The content of the museum, not the structure surrounding the exhibits. Now come on WDC can we sort of get a bit real here? I don’t discredit our museum’s artefacts, just the continuing attitude that ‘it’s not our money’. I don’t know of any businesses that has increased costs to loyal customers every year as WDC seem to think is appropriate. Now to the car ramming the farmer’s silage wagon. How long before traffic police pounce on all farmers’ trailers need rear lighting or worse WOF tests? We all know the big long straight before Jary Road. Tractors don’t travel at 100kph. I have to wonder what possesses any driver that has eyes open to slam into something sizeable and stationary?

So to quote the Land Transport (Road User) Rule 2004, s5.9: Stopping and following distances. Note that the ‘half the visible distance’ rule only applies to roads without marked lanes. When there are marked lanes, you just have to be able to stop within the visible distance. (1) A driver must not drive a vehicle in a lane marked on a road at such a speed that the driver is unable to stop in the length of the lane that is visible to the driver. (2) A driver must not drive a vehicle on a road that is not marked in lanes at such a speed that the driver is unable to stop in half the length of roadway that is visible to the driver. (3) A driver must not drive on a road a vehicle following behind another vehicle so that the driver cannot stop the driver’s vehicle short of the vehicle ahead if the vehicle ahead stops suddenly. WAYNE GLIDDEN

Debate healthy, but without action there can be no progress I am reading, with interest, the inevitable letters of protest about the proposed museum/theatre complex. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with people identifying their genuine concerns about this project. That’s a sign of a healthy, democratic community. In fact, I feel that such protests

might serve a useful purpose in that, within them, the planners might see some needs to modify their plans. However, I also reflect that in the 24 years I have lived in this town, I have seen at least four major projects being fiercely criticised in a similar way. Had the protesters’

objections to those projects been acted upon, we would not have had the opening of Mutu Street by the bridge, nor the Albert Park Drive bypass. The ever-increasing traffic flow on SH 3 would still be channelled through the CBD. Our Council staff would still be crammed

into a building not designed for the purpose, despite the increasing administrative workload needed by a busy district. And, of course, we would still not have a fine Events Centre, used seven days a week by our and other communities. ALISTAIR KERR

Te Awamutu College student Laken Semmens used a large lampshade purchased at an opshop as inspiration for her entry in this year’s ReStyle (previously Trash to Fashion) event. As well as the upturned shade her entry ‘Deadly Lampshade’ also features bamboo, frostcloth, handles and badges from a previous Masters Games. The entry is in the ‘Avant Garbage’ Open section, while her second entry (which she will model on the night) is entered in the ‘White Out’ category of the Secondary Schools section. Her second entry features fenceposts, wire and electrical tape all spraypainted white. Laken (15) loves being involved in school productions, so it’s not surprising she aspires to be a costume designer. Her entries are amongst several from Te Awamutu in the ReStyle competition which will be staged in the Founder’s Theatre on Saturday night. RECYCLED FASHION ReStyle can be described as ‘Project Runway’ meets ‘World of Wearable Arts’.

From page 3. The Te Awamutu and Districts Memorial RSA was honoured to have been directly involved in the planning and carrying out of the unveiling events for Te Awamutu. Eight plaques were commissioned as memorials to those from the Waikato Mounted Rifles who fell in battle. Already some have been installed in Te Kauwhata and Hamilton. The Cambridge unveiling

took place on the same day as Te Awamutu. Before a celebratory drink and toast to the Regiment in the Prince Albert Tavern, members of the Waikato Mounted Rifles gathered with their vehicles at the Challenge Garage in Duke Street — once the site of the Duke of Cambridge Hotel where in late 1867 a series of meetings took place that led to the formation of the local cavalry unit that was the forerunner of today’s unit.

Pirongia pipped in epic final Pirongia under-19 rugby team came tantalisingly close to taking out the Waikato championship on home turf. Hamilton Marist won an epic final 17-14 with a penalty to fullback Brad Fell after a Pirongia forward was penalised for hands in a maul with time up after 10 minutes each way of extra time. The game was a great advertisement for grassroots rugby — both teams proved worthy finalists, playing with tremendous passion, guts and determination. The scoreless first half showed that you don’t always need tries to make for a good spectacle. Both teams took it to the opposition, enjoying sustained periods on attack. The fact that no tries were scored was testament to outstanding defence. Marist’s backline constantly applied pressure, only to be met by a wall of black and white defence, while the Pirongia forwards went ever so close to scoring with a series of pick and goes. The deadlock was broken 10 minutes into the second half when Fell sliced his way through in midfield to score by the posts. He converted his own try for Marist to lead 7-0. Pirongia prop Shayne Bell crossed the try line only to be held up by the defence. Neither the referee or ‘touchie’ could see the ball being grounded and the try was disallowed. A fired up Pirongia forward pack launched another pick and go assault, relentlessly pounding away until their inspirational captain, prop Ethan Henary dived in low and was driven over for a well deserved try. Newton added the conversion for a 7-7 scoreline. Right on fulltime Marist had an opportunity to secure a win but Fell was astray with a penalty from handy range. With the teams inseparable, the game went into extra time. The arm wrestle continued with both teams desperate not to concede the advantage. Accurate kicking from Fell pinned Pirongia down in their own half. In a rare mistake, Pirongia failed to control a Marist up and under, propelling the ball forward five metres from their line. From the resulting scrum, a slick backline move resulted in a try out wide to Marist wing Joseph Rapana. Bell converted to give his team a 14-7 lead at the change over. With time running out in the second spell of extra time, Pirongia hit back with winger Carl Taylor intercepting a Marist backline pass and outpacing a trio giving chase on a 60 metre dash for the try line — scoring under the posts for Newton to convert. The game, locked up yet again at 14-all with two minutes to play, was to take one last twist. From the kick off, Pirongia conceded a penalty when attempting to control the ball at a maul and Hamilton Marist’s player of the day, Brad Fell, attoned for his first half miss by making no mistake this time getting his team home. It was the third time these two outstanding teams, coached by Kelvin Bell (Pirongia) and Barry Jennings (Marist), had met this season. Pirongia won the first game 18-11 but, in the second round of games, Hamilton Marist turned the tables winning 29-15.

Hills climbing umpiring ranks theory in 2004. Son Braedon was born in April 2005, restricting her netball involvement to only umpiring occasionally that season. In 2006 she gained her New Zealand badge and attended the Magic development tournament in Christchurch, March 2007. Her daughter Maddi was born in November 2007. For most of 2007 and all of 2008, Hills says she was doing her mother thing and only umpiring occasionally. She commenced her umpiring again regularly in May 2009, officiating at the New Zealand Secondary School tournament last year. Hills was a fine player in her own right, playing three years for the Awatapu College Senior A team in the Manawatu competition. She captained the team for the last two years. At representative level, she made the Manawatu under-17 and under-19 teams. After marrying, Hills and her husband Mark moved to Cambridge. She played netball there, then had a stint playing for the Allied premier reserve side in Hamilton before deciding to concentrate on umpiring — she affiliated with the Te Awamutu Umpires

Te Awamutu Netball whistler Ceri Hills achieved a New Zealand B umpire’s grading at the 2010 national age group championships in Dunedin. The 34-year-old is only the third umpire in the Waikato Region to reach this level under the new umpire’s qualification criteria. ‘‘To obtain this award officials must continually umpire to a ‘very high’ standard over a number of games at a New Zealand tournament,’’ says Lyn Dench, Waikato Region New Zealand Umpires Coaching Panel. Te Awamutu Netball Centre is in the enviable position of having three other current New Zealand umpires (besides Hills) holding a ‘C’ grading, Sandy Cassells, Linda Sprangers and Debbie Ngatai. Hills was nominated by Netball Waikato, then chosen by Netball New Zealand to officiate in Dunedin. The national umpire panel watched her and, after every game, she was given feedback on how to improve her performance. Gaylene Dorssers says Netball Waikato are very proud of Ceri’s efforts.

Creighton eighth in Tour de l’ Abitibi First year U19 rider plays key role in NZ team’s Nations Cup triumph

BY COLIN THORSEN Te Awamutu rider Scott Creighton (above) covered himself in glory helping the New Zealand under-19 cycling team win their first Nations Cup. Creighton was a key contributor to the triumph at the Tour de l’ Abitibi in Canada, placing eighth overall on general classification out of 152 starters, representing 26 countries. The 17-year-old finished the tour as second young rider overall and 18th overall in both the sprint ace and king of the mountains — an extraordinary feat for a first year under-19 rider. An ecstatic New Zealand coach, Ken Bewley says the whole team stepped up big time, dominating the entire tour. ‘‘We had four of our five riders finish in the top 10 on GC. ‘‘We were the toast of the town of Val d’ Or, who hosted the tour.’’ As well as winning the Nations Cup, the New Zealand team scooped the tour’s Young Rider (James Oram, Auckland); King of the Mountains (Nick Sutton, New Plymouth); second team on GC (beaten only by a pro team); fourth individual on GC, miss-

ing the podium by a mere one second (James Oram), and were voted as best team by other coaches and riders. Bewley was lavish in his praise of Creighton. ‘‘Scott was strong throughout the tour and probably deserved a podium finish. He was always at the front in support of his team-mates and got them out of trouble many times. ‘‘Podium stage finishes just eluded him but I’m confident next year will be different.’’ Bewley says Creighton is certainly taking the right steps to make the team to the junior worlds next year. ‘‘I thought he was going to win stage six when he and another rider broke away, getting out to a 45 seconds lead. ‘‘They were away for the best part of 30km. The bunch only shut them down 3km from home.’’ The highlight for Bewley was seeing all five of the Kiwi team finish the final stage in the leading group of 20 riders, four minutes in front of the bunch. ‘‘The guys were impressive and an absolute credit to themselves and their country.’’

GOLD RUSH: Te Awamutu’s Scott Creighton emerges from the gold mine at the start of the Tour de l’ Abitibi time trial in Canada. Scott Creighton had a dream start to the Tour de l’ Abitibi, finishing eighth in the individual time trial. The time trial started 80m underground in a gold mine. The first part of the time trial involved riding out of the mine. ‘‘It was dark, the ceiling was low, and the gradient around 17%,’’ says Creighton. ‘‘We couldn’t stand as the ground was muddy and our back wheels would slide out. ‘‘The rest of the course was

technical with many corners, two power climbs and false flats.’’ The time trial proved to be a huge success for the young New Zealand team. Four riders ended up in the top 10 on general classification, the Kiwis moved into third on teams GC and the ‘young leaders’ jersey remained in the team with James Oram. Scott Creighton was the last of the Kiwis off. He finished an impressive eighth — his best

individual placing on tour. Nick Hand was the first of the New Zealand team off in the first wave of riders. He recorded the fastest time for that wave and ended up ninth overall. Nick Sutton gave the prime a good nudge for fastest time out of the mine and James Oram did a flying time trial, finishing fourth. Dion Smith turned in a solid performance, finishing 19th, while Louis Wright did a quick time, finishing inside the top 10.
