Closure decision awaited

TC021012DT09/10

ONE TO CLOSE: No decision has yet been made about which building will be the new Te Awamutu ANZbranch and which will be closed.

Te Awamutu’s ANZ andNational Bank staff are beingleft in limbo over their jobs andwhere they will be workingfollowing last week’s nation-wide announcement that thetwo businesses are to merge.

The managers of both banksi n t h e t o w n a r e u n d e rinstructions not to speak to themedia over matters of possiblestaff redundancies, or whichbuilding is likely to be retainedfor the revamped ANZ. Thename ‘National Bank’ is to bediscarded.

It may be some months beforedecisions are made about staffnumbers and a location for thenew ANZ.

But a national spokesman forthe merger plan has given ‘anabsolute assurance’ that nofront-line staff from either bankin Te Awamutu will lose theirjobs.

‘‘That’s one of our keycommitments,’’ Pete Barnao,national external relationsspokesman for ANZ, told theCourier from Auckland.

‘‘Customers in Te Awamutuwill still be able to deal with thesame friendly staff they know —no front-line jobs will be lost.’’

However, he says the twobanks will certainly be mergedinto one and become the ANZ,although no decisions have yetbeen made about which of thetwo buildings will be closed.

The town’s ANZ is sited onthe corner of Market and Alex-andra Streets, and while it hasupstairs administrative offices,it has smaller public-accessstreet-level floor space than thatat the National Bank, 50 metreswest along Alexandra Street.But the National Bank has onlyground-floor offices. There is nooffice space above it.

Sarah Matheson-Reay, mana-ger of the National Bank, wasunable to comment on themerger, referring all questionsto Mr Barnao. Manager of theANZ, Garjeet Rai, was alsounable to comment.

When asked, Mr Barnao wasnot able to say when the mergerin Te Awamutu would takeplace.

‘‘I don’t know whether it willbe before or after Christmas, butwe will ultimately be bringingthe two banks together,’’ hesays.

Mr Barnao says there is atotal of about 15 staff in the twoTe Awamutu banks.

The countrywide merger wasannounced last Wednesday, andabout 200 ‘contract jobs’ aroundthe country will be lost. Some

frontline staff may be able toapply for other roles within thenew ANZ.

Together, the two banks cur-rently have about 2 millioncustomers nationwide, andemploy a staff of 9000 in almost

300 banks. Although 15 of thenew combined bank brancheswill close, it is planned to open15 new ANZ branches in othercommunities.

The changes will take placeover the next two years.

Thanks helpfulcouncil staff

Council staff responsiblefor handling applicationsfor the rates rebate arewilling to visit ratepayers intheir own homes when cir-cumstances don’t allowthem to get in to council tofill out the rebateapplications.

Also I recently found outthat the library offers homedelivery of books to peoplewho are housebound.

Thank you to all councilstaff who help the citizens ofWaipa in this way.

You are truly customerservice heroes and rolemodels.

KEN GEORGE

Councillor keen to keepin touch via Facebook

With all that’s beenhappening around Waipalately I have decided to starta Facebook page so thatpeople can get in touch withme and find out about whatis happening around ourdistrict.

Check my page atwww.facebook.com/marcuswaipa.

I hope to use it as apositive tool to engage withpeople, if you have anyquestions about Waipa andwhat is happening at councilplease take a moment tovisit, leave a note and contri-bute to the conversations.

I’ve really enjoyed myfirst two years being a Wai-pa Councillor, it’s been chal-lenging but worth it, I havefound it’s really important tohave a younger voice oncouncil, someone who has ayoung family and runninghis own business as thedecisions we make now willaffect the Waipa that ourkids grow up in.

I want it to be an awe-some one, only one moreyear to go until elections, I’mcertainly going to be run-ning again.

No rightanswer toratesissueBY DEAN TAYLOR

Like the rates issue itself,opinions will be divided overwhether I’m making the rightdecision here — but Letters to theEditor over rating issues will not beaccepted now until Council hasresponded to issues.

Hopefully most people will agreethe Courier has allowed full androbust debate through its pages andit has done-its-dash.

Plus it is a year until the nextlocal body election and I believeanyone with political ambitionsshould declare them now.

When I’m asked about rates Isay there is no right answer — no-one really wants them and every-one has a different view of ‘fair’.

If the fixed portion is too high itis unfair on single earners, elderlyand people with low value proper-ties. Too low and it isn’t fair onpeople with high value propertiesand households with fewoccupants.

It seems to me rates shouldn’t bea wealth tax — after all we don’tpay for petrol depending on thevalue of the car!

But the alternative, full userpays — which would be fair — isunthinkable. It would require a BigBrother type society where everymovement (literally) would bemonitored and billed.

TE AWAMUTU Altrusapresident Vicky Apps.

The announcement ofthe Join The Dots break-fast meeting to invite thecommunity to help addressyouth issues in Te Awa-mutu was welcomed by TeAwamutu Altrusa.

The club sponsored thebreakfast and presidentVicky Apps was one of theguest speakers at the func-tion.

Aligning itself with thePolice Prevention Firstprogramme, Te AwamutuAltrusa Club initiated itsown anti-truancy pro-gramme for the town.

The local project,‘Switch, Start, Succeed’,aims to encourage com-munity groups to set upprogrammes to reduce tru-ancy through communitybreakfast meetings.

As well, they want animmediate provision ofresources to the town’struancy officer to eliminatebarriers to attendingschool, and the club alsowants a youth seminarheld for at-risk children toencourage them towards

success at school.Western Waikato Police

Area Commander, Inspec-tor Paul Carpenter, saysthe club’s new initiativewill become part of thenationwide PreventionFirst scheme, launched inDecember last year.

‘‘Prevention First isabout partnerships, visibil-ity and acting withurgency against priorityand prolific offenders,’’ hesays. ‘‘It’s about puttingprevention at the forefrontof everything we do.’’

Inspector Carpentersays youth at risk continueto be a significant problemfor police and the commun-ity, and the objective of thePrevention First pro-gramme is to not onlyreduce youth at risk andyouth offending, but also toreduce the opportunitiesfor young people to becomeat risk or to offend.

‘‘We will be workingwith youth and their famil-ies to help provide themeans and support todevelop the young person,’’

he says.Youth at risk will be

identified throughnotifications from schools,parents, counsellors, andfrom police attendingincidents and being awareof young people in thecommunity.

‘‘Schools are a valuablesource of information, andthey are able to identifyyoung people at risk at anearly stage,’’ he says.

Other speakers at thebreakfast launch wereAnaru Hawkins, managerof The Hub in Hamilton,and Michael Alofa, crimeprevention project leaderfor Auckland CouncilWest.

Mr Hawkins says themost important outcomefrom the launch was put-ting together the rightgroup of people who wereprepared to act to make adifference.

He said it was too easyto sit around and talk

about problems, but JoinThe Dots was about beinghands-on and wanting toparticipate.

Mr Hawkins said it wastrue it ‘takes a village toraise a child’.

‘‘There’s plenty of kids,and you’re the village,’’ hetold the audience.

Mr Alofa opened with ahard-hitting video pre-sentation showing howsome young New Zea-landers were living.

He gave some examplesfrom his experiences inAuckland and reiteratedthe message from previousspeakers that people needto be prepared to act to helpthe most at-risk youngpeople in our community.

Organisers plan to act— the attendees wereasked to indicate whatlevel of participation theywere prepared to committo and a working party willbe formed to move theproject forward.

Pair celebrate life bond

TC021012DT07

QUIET TIME: Golden Wedding couple Bill and Glenys Chadderton in their garden attheir Kihikihi home.

Travel, a busy life, their strong Chris-tian faith and having fun times togetherhave created the ‘‘glue’’ which has kept Billand Glenys Chadderton close and togetherfor the past 50 years.

The Kihikihi couple celebrated theirgolden wedding anniversary with a quietday on Saturday, September 29.

But in early January next year threegenerations of their substantial family areplanning a special gathering for a celebra-tion in Kihikihi to commemorate theimportant marriage milestone. They haveeight children, 22 grandchildren and threegreat-grandchildren.

Mr and Mrs Chadderton were marriedin an Anglican church in Christchurch in1962, and began a life together that has seenthem living and working in many parts ofNew Zealand and also around the Pacific.

After training in Christchurch as ateacher, Mr Chadderton began his careerworking in special education atPeachgrove Intermediate School in Hamil-ton.

He notes wryly: ‘‘I was a nationalathletics road-race walker champion, andhad been junior champion for two years. In1961 I came to Hamilton hoping to getselected for the 1962 CommonwealthGames, but I was seriously beaten byanother walker — so I hated Hamilton. Butthat’s where I started my teaching career.’’

In all, he spent more than 35 years ineducation, and is one of a select few whohave been the principal in primary, inter-mediate, secondary and area schoolsaround the country.

He was the foundation principal ofWhangamata Area School, and ended histeaching career in New Zealand as theprincipal of Birkdale Intermediate onAuckland’s North Shore.

In 1998 the couple left New Zealand forSamoa, where Mr Chadderton worked as asecondary school principal. He was laterthe director of the Church of Jesus Christ ofLatter-day Saints’ school system in Samoa.In 2002 the Chaddertons moved to Kiribati,where he spent a year training schoolprincipals in how to run schools. Theyreturned to New Zealand in 2004 for two

years and then spent three years inTokelau working for Volunteer ServiceAbroad.

Back in New Zealand the couple volun-teered to work at the National Archives inWellington, digitising New Zealand passen-ger ship lists from early European times.The new records are now online andavailable to those researching family his-tory. The Chaddertons also recently helpedset up a similar records system in Christ-church, after earthquakes damaged theNational Archives building there.

‘‘While we have had a busy and eventfullife, our family, our faith and the fun times

we share have been the glue that has keptus close over all those years,’’ says MrsChadderton.

She says she has a keen interest infamily history and also in a variety of craftsincluding knitting and sewing. Both arekeen gardeners, and grow an extensiverange of fruit and vegetables.

Although they have owned a home inKihikihi since 2000, it is only in the past fewyears they have ‘‘retired’’ to live there.

For the celebration in January, familywill gather from as far away as China,Japan and California, as well as aroundNew Zealand.

WDC comfirmscommunityfacilities trust

Waipa District Council has confirmed its inten-tion to form a trust to take responsibility for therunning of the Trust Waikato Te Awamutu EventsCentre and Cambridge Pool.

Earlier this month the Strategic Planning andPolicy Committee heard a number of submissions onthe proposal to form the Waipa Community Facili-ties Trust and was satisfied that many of the issuesraised could be addressed either through the trustdeed or the funding agreement.

This week the council agreed that the fundingagreement would be used to ensure the trust’s initialfocus is on the two facilities. The primary aim is forthese facilities to be run efficiently and effectivelywith reduced need for ratepayer funding.

The council will now take steps to establish thetrust.

The critical first step will be using an invited,independent panel to appoint the initial trustees.Trustee positions will be publicly advertised and thepanel will ensure that there is appropriate assess-ment of candidates against an agreed set of criteriabased on qualifications, experience and skill sets.

In the meantime the facilities will continue to berun by the long-time contracted operators until thetrust is established and can assume control.

REPRESENTATION ARRANGEMENTSCouncil also confirmed it will retain its current

representation arrangements for the next two localbody elections.

The decision comes following the hearings ofsubmissions by the council’s Strategic Planning andPolicy Committee and means that the five wards,their names and boundaries will not change for the2013 and 2016 elections.

There will continue to be four councillors torepresent Te Awamutu and Cambridge, two forPirongia and one councillor each for Maungatautariand Kakepuku wards.

The Mayor will continue to be elected by thewhole district and community boards will beretained.

Submitters to the initial proposal and anyonewho objects to the final decision may lodge an appealwith the council.

Any appeals or objections will be considered bythe Local Government Commission.

Magazine inspires art

TC021012SP05A

TE AWAMUTU artist Vincent Van Schalkwyk (right) is congratulated by caregiverMaisa Teomatavui after winning the National 2012 IHC Art Award in Wellington.

Te Awamutu artistVincent Van Schalkwyksays a picture he cut froma magazine inspired himto produce a paintingwhich has won him thenational 2012 IHC ArtAward and a $5000 prize.

The painting alsoearned Mr VanSchalkwyk a further $600when it sold at auction onthe night of the awards inWellington earlier thismonth.

He was one of threeclients from the Te Awa-mutu Residential Trustwho attend the Local Linxart classes run byGracelands Day Servicesand who went to theawards night with worksof art. The other two,Shannon Clark andMichael Graham, bothsold their entries duringthe same auction.

Mr Van Schalkwyk’s750mm x 1100mm acrylic-on-canvas painting,entitled Life Stories showsthe Queen and PrincePhillip, with three smallerillustrations of a Royalwedding, three crosseswhich he says are indica-tive of the Royal family’schurch affiliations, and adog.

‘‘I’ve been paintingsince 2007,’’ he says, ‘‘butI’ve always liked drawing,especially people.’’

Now, he prefers to useacrylic, though he some-times still uses pencils.

And, he says, he’s pre-viously sold several of hispaintings from earlier artdisplays. Earlier this yearMr Van Schalkwyk held a

solo exhibition at MarketStreet Framers in Te Awa-mutu, and sold two piecesof his work.

‘‘I’m going to spend themoney wisely,’’ he says. ‘‘Iwant to go to Australia tosee what it’s like, but Ithink I will put some inthe bank so it can earninterest for me.’’

He’s already startedworking on more paint-ings, and hopes to enterthem in the IHC ArtAwards next year.

Michael Graham,whose abstract drawingin pencil and acrylic soldfor $200, says he enjoyedthe awards night. He’snow working on a collageof art attached to a woodbackground, with wood

frame.This was Mr Graham’s

first successful entry inthe awards. He has hadentries in previous awardcompetitions.

‘‘I’ve sold some of mywork in an art gallery inHamilton,’’ he says.

Shannon Clark entereda work in pencil, whichsold for $300. She was alsoa finalist at the awardslast year.

‘‘I like drawing withpencil,’’ she says. ‘‘I’vesold my art before — lastyear I sold one at theawards and I got $300 forit.’’

Fern Ryan, operationsmanager for the Te Awa-mutu Residential Trustsays the trust ‘‘is very

proud of all three ofthem’’.

‘ ‘They all didextremely well, and we’revery happy for them.’’

She says 10 to 15 of thetrust’s clients attend theart classes run byGracelands, at the TeAwamutu Arts Centre.

Annette Martin, seniorsupport worker at LocalLinx, says Gracelands isextremely proud of allthree artists, and thatmuch of their success isdue to the encouragementand teaching of artfacilitator Marie Brogden.Colleen Wells had alsoworked closely with MrVan Schalkwyk in theproduction of his award-winning painting.

TC021012CA03

WAIPA Christian School principal StevenMcFetridge guides new entrant Tyler Janse vanRensburg as he turns the first piece of earth on thenew site.

TC021012CA04

WAIPA Christian School senior pupils Olivia vanHengel and Rebecca Frost view the new site fortheir school from a rock which was installed to markthe start of the expansion project.

‘The newadministration block willenable WCS to vacate

the TABC offices, whichit urgently needs for itsyouth programme.’PETER WYATT

A major new expansion pro-ject is under way at the WaipaChristian School in SwarbrickDrive, Te Awamutu, and themove is being hailed as one of themost significant in the school’s25-year history.

This school has just startedconstruction of a new adminis-tration block.

It will eventually contain theprincipal’s and school offices, alibrary, resource room, an IThub, staff room and interviewfacilities.

Chairman of the school’sBoard ofTrustees, PeterWyatt, says thefirst stage ofnew develop-ment of theschool wascarried out in2010, with a siteadjacent to theoriginal schoolbeingcontoured intothree levels.

That site now holds netballand tennis facilities, and playingfields for football and rugby.

‘‘At the same time, the road-way intervening between thenew site and Te Awamutu BibleChapel was kerbed and sealed,and school parking established,’’says Mr Wyatt.

‘‘That work was fully paid forat the time.’’

Up to 2007, the school had rununder the auspices of its founder,the Te Awamutu Bible Chapel.

‘‘The new administrationblock will enable WCS to vacatethe TABC offices, which iturgently needs for its youthprogramme,’’ says Mr Wyatt.

The Waipa Christian Educa-

tion Trust, which now owns theschool, and with major assistancefrom the Mt View Christian Trust,already has the funds to carry outthe new work.

Mr Wyatt says the constructionwill be to a shell stage and the fit-outof the shell is being supported bothby the local community, parentbody and by a team from MobileMission Maintenance.

A projected third stage, at an as-yet undetermined date, will see theexisting school buildings relocatedto the new site and upgraded.

Mr Wyatt says a strong owners’board has been established, chairedby Colin Jackson, and the WCS

board oftrustees hasbeenreconstitutedto contain TeAwamutumembers, otherthan its chair-man. As well,the school,after beingunder theassessment ofan Education

Review Office advisor for a year, isconsidered to be functioningeffectively.

The school now has a roll of 46pupils, and projected growth islikely to lead to government fundingfor an additional teacher next year.

‘‘We are also delighted by arecent partnership approach from aHamilton-based Christian earlychildhood centre, to locate an earlychildhood centre on part of our newsite early in 2013,’’ says Mr Wyatt.

‘‘It will be at no capital cost toWCET. This would be a valuableaddition, facilitating a regular flowof additional new entrant pupils andenhancing the total Christian edu-cation offering from WCS to itscommunity.’’

A former Te Awa-mutu farmer known forhis considerableinvolvement with theYoung Farmers Clubhas now published abook on solving every-day problems, using hisextensive farmingknowledge as a foun-dation for the work.

Allan Baker, now aqualified counsellor andrelationship coach liv-ing in Matamata, sayshis book What CowsCouldn’t Teach Me is aseries of short but pro-found articles whichlook at the commonproblems people have towork through in life.

‘‘They are drawnfrom the learnings ofstudy and practicalexperience of full-timecounselling andrelationship coachingwith clients from allover New Zealand andAustralia, along with acommon-sense approachgained from 25 years offarming, contracting,employing staff and rais-ing a family,’’ he says.

Mr Baker, with hiswife Sue, was a share-milker on Frontier Roadfor seven years from1981, and was heavilyinvolved in the Te Awa-mutu and Waipa Dis-trict Young FarmersClub. As well, the couplewere members of the StAndrews PresbyterianChurch, and withPlaycentre in the town.

He says he had ‘‘a

mid-life crisis’’ in 2001and decided to switchfrom milking cows tocounselling. He beganhis training in 2002.

‘‘Ten years, count-less hours of study andthousands of hours ofcounselling later, mypractical down-to-earth approach to lifeand counselling hasresulted in clients allover New Zealand,Austral ia andbeyond,’’ he says.

He has become aspecialist in marriageand relationshipcounselling.

His book has beenpublished to presentwhat he calls a Kiwicommon-sense per-

spective to a wideraudience. It contains anumber of articlesthat have previouslybeen published in acommunity news-paper, and is the firstof what he intends willbe a series of suchbooks.

Gunslingers hit road

TC021012DT08

THE BROADSIDES brought some punk-folk-country-bluesto Te Awamutu on Friday evening to promote the forth-coming Gunslinger’s Ball Tour.

Mainstreet motoristsand Redoubt Bar andEatery patrons enjoyed ataste of what is to comewhen the Gunslinger’sBall takes to the road laterthis month.

The Broadsides, a four-piece amalgam of country,blues, folk, punk style,dropped into town Fridayevening on thepromotional tour of theregions for a song or twoand a pint.

Over the past two yearsthe Gunslinger’s Ball hasgrown from the occasionalevening of country-friedrevelry to what is nowdescribed as a full blown‘wild musical feast of alt-country, cowboy, punk,folk and country bluesbands.’

Make no mistake —this definitely isn’t yournana’s hoedown.

Straddling the dividebetween heartfelt alt-country, raucous blues,rockabilly brashness andpunk bristle, theGunslinger’s Ball meltsdown musical barriers tothe point where there arenone. This is a show byand for outlaws, outcastsand outliers.

Sell-out shows and ravereviews are now the orderof the day, and it seems theusual Auckland venuescan no longer contain sucha musical behemoth.

Therefore, October seesthe Ball taking it to thetowns and provinces ofthis proud island we callNorth.

On board are some ofthe bands that havebecome synonymous with

all things Gunslingers.The Broadsides — a near

mystical amalgam of swampblues, bluegrass, rockabillywith a tinge of gospel for goodmeasure.

Bernie Griffen and TheGrifters — led by gravelly NewZealand country legend andAmericana aficionado BernieGriffen, The Grifters will tearyour heart out while simul-taneously lifting your soul.

Steve Abel — the sound of

someone writing and singingfrom a place where there is noguile, just hard truth and cleareyes.

■ The tour opens inNapier andtakes inWellington, NewPlymouth, Hamilton andAucklandbeforewinding up in Leigh. CheckTicketmaster for details.Hamilton’s Ball is at Gravity onSunday, October 21— ticketsfromTicketmaster or Texas Radio& The Big Beat.

NORTHERN Knights manager Graeme Stewart (left) and Japan cricket coach ChrisFerguson watch as Pekerau pupil Arama Shortcliffe hits tennis balls during a fun game.

BY CATHY ASPLIN

Sports can transcend dif-ferent cultures, various lan-guages . . . and even naturaldisasters.

No one knows that betterthan Japan Cricket coachand development officerChris Ferguson and his wife,Zoe George, who is the JapanCricket media and market-ing manager.

A former New Zealandcricket development officer,who was based in Christ-church, Mr Ferguson took upa contract with JapanCricket at the end of 2010 andis based in Sano, near Tokyo.

The couple left New Zea-land days after the firstChristchurch earthquakeand were in Japan in time toexperience the aftermath ofthe Tohoku earthquake.

Ms George says the 6.3earthquake they experiencedin Christchurch just beforetheir departure was short,sharp and violent.

‘‘By comparison, the 9.0earthquake that triggeredthe devastating tsunami inJapan was more of a rollingsensation.

‘‘We were in Tokyo whenit hit and it lasted about sixminutes. The first aftershockwent for five minutes.’’

The couple helped estab-lish Cricket for Smiles as away of helping children copewith the disaster.

‘‘Cricket became a posi-tive thing we could do —visiting children around thecountry, giving them cricketsets and playing games withthem.’’

Developing cricket in acountry obsessed with base-ball has been an enjoyablechallenge for Mr Ferguson.

‘‘I’ve been trying toincrease the participationnumbers in the junior ranks.

‘‘The senior players workhard and are very dedicated— they tend to focus ontechnical details and are verydisciplined.

‘‘It’s rewarding to seethem improve, as they oftenhave to sacrifice a lot, travel-ling times alone can behuge.’’

He says the largest hurdlehas been a shortage ofplaying facilities.

‘‘Our players can travelabout two hours to get to atraining venue.

‘‘Fortunately Sano is con-sidered the centre of cricketin Japan and we do havegood grounds.’’

The couple has travelledwidely with the men’s andwomen’s cricket teams —taking them to venues asdiverse as Botswana andBangladesh.

‘‘The teams are going well

and their ICC rankings haveimproved, which is pleas-ing.’’

Mr Ferguson was atPekerau School last week torun a training session withpupils, helped by NorthernKnights’ manager GraemeStewart.

He says the Pekeraupupils are much more laidback than their Japanesecounterparts, but like chil-dren everywhere, they alllove playing games.

After the activities, thecouple explained a littleabout their lifestyle andexperiences in Japan.

Mr Stewart also showedthem the Plunket Shieldwhich dates back to 1906.

Northern Knights cur-rently hold the shield whichwas re-introduced in the2009-10 season after a hiatusof about 30 years.

Tower set for start

TC021012DT05 and 6

OUT WITH THE OLD AND IN WITH THE NEW: Patton Engineering installers Jaime Rarere(pictured) and Nathan Meredith took down the old filming tower and erected the new one.

Waipa Racing Club will be beaming itsraces to the world from a new and ‘‘veryimpressive’’ race filming tower from now on.

The new tower, put in place with the helpof a massive crane, is now up and ready foraction following the condemning of the oldfilming tower, in the member car park, someyears ago.

Racing club secretary Blair Thomson saysthe old tower, built in 1965, was condemnedabout 10 years ago, and since then wirelesscameras had filmed the club’s races. Thecameras were placed two-thirds of the way upthe tower.

‘‘But this new tower will give an impress-ive view of the track, a complete 180-degreecoverage, and will show the horses coming

head-on right down the main straight,’’ hesays.

‘‘It is obviously a huge improvement.’’The new tower, about 18 metres tall and

holding a cabin about 3m x 4m at the top, cost$70,000, which was funded by infrastructurefunding from New Zealand ThoroughbredRacing. It is of all-steel construction.

‘‘It’s got a staircase about a metre wide,and there’s 55 steps in it — I’ve just climbedthem,’’ joked Mr Thomson.

‘‘They’re very impressive. It’s not likeclimbing the ladders on the old tower.’’

He says the new tower will be given a trialrun at the club’s barrier trial races onOctober 13, with the first full race meetingbeing filmed on November 3.

Focus on Auckland Cup

TC021012DT04TE AWAMUTU jockey MarkSweeney at home Friday beforeriding at Te Aroha.

BY PHILLIP QUAYin association with Brown Pennell

Have horse, will travel.That’s the motto for Te

Awamutu jockey MarkSweeney who recently choseto travel to Riccarton, Christ-church, to partnerAussieaussieaussie to a winin the New Zealand Cup Trial(1800m).

Sweeney gladly acceptedthe offer from the eight-year-old’s Riccarton trainer,Kevin Hughes, to take up theride.

Unraced since he wasplaced in the Great AutumnHandicap in May,Aussieaussieaussie made themost of a pull in the weightsin last Saturday week’s raceto get home by a nose fromthe topweight ComancheGold. ‘‘It was a big effort first-up and he’ll work toward the

cup meeting here,’’Hughes said.

A North Islandcampaign is thenlikely to follow withhis long-term aim theGroup 1 Auckland Cupat Ellerslie next Marchin which he finished ameritorious eighthearlier this year withSweeney aboard.

Sweeney saidAussieaussieaussiewas travelling like awinner a long wayfrom home.

‘‘He has a highcruising speed andsuch a will to win. Hereally put in a deter-mined finish in the finalstages,’’ Sweeney said.

‘‘The winning margin wasnarrow but he was nevergoing to allow himself to getbeaten,’’ he said.

■ Horse To Follow: Charmer— from the Sanders’ stableand has been coming upnicely in training. Very cap-able of winning a decent racethis season.
