BRIEFLY Rushlee apple of Pryde’s eye As the New Zealand apple season gets underway in North America, the ENZA Jazz Apple Cycling Team mounts its second annual racing campaign throughout the United States and Canada - this time with Te Awamutu’s Rushlee Buchanan aboard. The team, involving a combination of BikeNZ’s elite and developing female riders, will undertake a two-month road racing campaign throughout the US and Canada beginning early this month. Buchanan is the standout amongst the group, who as a nineteen-year-old carries the smarts and skills of a rider beyond her years, director Susy Pryde says. Her resume already includes a Track World Championship silver medal, an ambitious race schedule involving seven high profile events in the US, four in Canada, and an invitation to NZ’s European training centre in France in August.

Changes make NCEA even better: College principal By Dean Taylor Te Awamutu College principal Barbara Cavanagh is a huge fan of NCEA, and says proposed changes will make it even better for our youth. She says parents, tertiary bosses and employers can rest assured the system will provide even better information to help them and young people make good choices about future directions. Ms Cavanagh says Te Awamutu College has embraced the concept of NCEA and taken it further with its own programmes to help and encourage students to do their very best. From this year the main change at each level is that the certificate

will indicate overall achievement at Credit, Merit and Excellence levels. Ms Cavanagh says one of the Ministry of Education rationales for the change is that it will motivate students to do better, and if that is the case it is worthwhile. Te Awamutu College already has its own schemes to help students succeed. The school has embraced, and had nationally recognised success, the Te Kotahitanga concept, implemented its own 15+ and Attend+Complete=Achieve programmes and has an annual Excellence Evening to recognise top achievers. Ms Cavanagh says now the of-

ficial certificate will also recognise and record a level of achievement and we hope this will encourage students to try for merit or excellence in each task. From next year the certificate will recognise Credit, Merit and Excellence achievement for each subject, a move Ms Cavanagh says will provide even more motivation for students and more information for prospective tertiary institutions and employers. One of the criticisms is that students will try less hard when they have reached a minimum requirement. Ms Cavanagh agrees that happens, but says it is not necessarily a negative.

She says at least it shows students understand the system and what is required, and for some young people it might be right for them at that time to put more effort elsewhere. But she says Te Awamutu College is committed to motivating students to do their best, so they will always be encouraging them to do better. And she believes that overall, students have been better off with the NCEA system, which she describes as fair and encouraging. “It recognises what a young person can do, rather that what they can’t do,” she says. “Every kid deserves to be recognised for their talents.”

Smokefree week-end concert

Liquor ban for Kawhia, Aotea Otorohanga District Council is proposing a liquor ban to cover Kawhia and Aotea communities in the 2007 Christmas/New Year period. The proposal is set to go out for public consultation. Ratepayers in the proposed Liquor Ban Zone will receive information about the draft bylaw. The bylaw would control the possession or consumption of alcohol in public places. “We hope the proposed liquor ban, in conjunction with other measures, will enable the residents of Kawhia and Aotea to recapture a family-orientated relaxed holiday environment,” ODC says.

Key figure for CanTeen A final tally of the funds raised through the CURE-CanTeen extravaganza saw $21,000 in the kitty. The event was staged by Waikato/Central Regions Public Prisons staff and received great support from the business community and community in general. An acknowledgement advertisement appears in today’s classified section.

TE AWAMUTU rock band Eqwanox returned to their old school to perform for the first ever time at a special lunchtime concert to mark the end of a week long series of activities aimed at celebrating Smokefree week. The concert, one of many activities organised by the Te Awamutu College Health Committee, is seen as the ideal way to end the weeks activities ,all designed to raise awareness of Smokefree. Entry was by gold coin donation at the door and proceeds will be used by the Health Committee to fund their various activities.

Eqwanox play original rock music with a punk/grunge feel and a listenable edge. They supported Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan on the New Zealand leg of his ‘Future Embrace Tour’ in only their fourth gig and they have gone on to guest star at a Regional Final of the Smokefree Rockquest. They have also organised many of their own gigs and as a result have been able to invite and play alongside top Kiwi bands The Rabble, False Start, Falter and Five Star Fall Out 156071AD (featuring Michael Murphy, original NZ Idol runner-up).

Well … that will teach me to question ‘what is the difference between ‘fair trade’ and ‘free trade’? The angry responses to my article in your paper came from far and near. Let me deal with ‘the near’ and the article from Lois Titchener from Trade Aid. I have nothing but respect for Lois and her organisation, in fact in an earlier life I acted as honorary treasurer to the Palmerston North Trade Aid shop. I know that when I buy something from them I’m helping

someone in a developing country; that is a choice I make. Similarly I’m sure that if I purchase a ‘fair trade’ item someone in the country of origin will benefit. My fair question was ‘who’? My research showed me that it usually wasn’t, as claimed, the worker on the coffee plantation, despite loose claims for the opposite. I’m still not clear whether my assertion that ‘fair trade’ is subsidised “free trade’ is correct or not. MICHAEL COX

149TC045/07

What Michael Cox wrote in the Courier about fair trade coffee certainly does not apply to Trade Aid in New Zealand. Trade Aid NZ is a non-profit organisation which buys directly from the producers (no middleman involved) and pays them a higher price than they would obtain through the usual market system. Producers who want to supply Trade Aid NZ have to comply with

I recently inadvertently and foolishly left my wallet in a shopping trolley at a local supermarket and a very honest and wonderful person returned it to the counter. I needed the contents so desperately. She did not leave her name or any form of identification and I want to thank her so much. I wish she would phone me. Over a period of two or three weeks

previously we have had the top of the revolving clothesline disappear and a lawn mower, from a locked shed, was taken. I also wish the persons who took those items would phone me, anonymously of course. They must have an absolute need and I might be able to help in some way. BILLIE CROSSLEY

College musical a family treat What a great night our family had at Te Awamutu College’s production of ‘Back to the ‘80s’ last week. Our children went to the show on Monday with local primary schools. They raved about it so much and were so keen to go again, that we decided to go to the show as a family on Tuesday night. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and felt it was money well spent. Well done to all the students and staff who have obviously put so much time and effort into the production. It brought back happy memories of my own years in college musical productions and was a great opportunity to see college students at their best. SHARON HOLT

Volunteers put in for Mangatutu Stream Community volunteers planted more than 1200 native trees to celebrate a step forward in rehabilitating the Mangatutu Stream recently. The Mangatutu Stream is a blue ribbon trout fishery, which flows from the Rangitoto Ranges around Te Kuiti and meets the Puniu River just below Waikeria. Environment Waikato is contributing $240,000 over a 10-year period to improve its health under a coordinated river and catchment management programme developed in consultation with local farmers, iwi and the wider community. “We’re working with land owners along a 17km stretch of the stream to stabilise the banks, reduce erosion, and manage gravel extraction and blockages,” Environment Waikato Waipa zone manager Michael Duffy said. “It’s about protecting valuable farmland, reducing flood risks and improving the stream’s water quality and ecology – and it’s working. Recent monitoring results show an increase in the number of aquatic species in the stream near some of our work sites, which is brilliant.” Korakonui farmer Leonard Kay is one of the land owners involved in the Mangatutu Stream project. The planting day on Sunday, May 27 took place on his Lethbridge Road property, near Te Awamutu, where three years of work on the stream has recently been completed. About 40 volunteers from Environment Waikato, Fish and Game New Zealand and the Waikato Kiwi Conservation Club helped Mr Kay and other local farmers plant flaxes, ribbonwood and other native species along the stream banks. Environment Waikato River and Catchment Services Committee chair Andra Neeley, who attended, said the day was all about partnerships.

“We’re celebrating everyone’s values around the river. It’s not just about protecting the productive base of the land – it’s about looking after the health and ecology of the stream for a range of other stakeholders like Fish and Game, iwi and the wider community. “Project Watershed provided us with the funding structures and policy to undertake this work and now we’re putting the environment back around it. This tree planting day is the icing on the cake after years of rehabilitation work and it’s an example of the progress we’re making through similar projects all over the region.” Fish and Game New Zealand (FGNZ) has pledged $5000 annually to the Mangatutu project, some of which was used for Sunday’s planting day. “The Mangatutu Stream is regarded as one of the best New Zealand small trout streams and is highly valued by anglers,” FGNZ Auckland/Waikato region fisheries manager Ben Wilson said. “We’re impressed with the work Environment Waikato has been doing and the efforts they’ve put into the whole catchment.” Otorohanga resident Malcolm Boggiss and his children Callum and Hillary, members of the Kiwi Conservation Club, said it was great to see people from so many different groups working together. “I don’t know anyone here but everyone’s chipping in and doing a good thing,” Mr Boggiss said. “People have really got their hearts in this and it’s going to be very rewarding in the years to come. My kids will be able to bring their kids here to catch fish and say we planted these trees.” Cr Neeley acknowledged the enormous contribution King Country and Waipa land owners had made to the stream project.

THE NEW bridge was slotted into place in next to no time with the assistance of a crane early on 156075AD Friday morning. to accommodate the new bridge. The total cost of the project was around $40,000. This included removal of the old bridge, abutment modification, placement of the new bridge, and rein-

statement of paving at the bridge approaches. During the period of the work that section of Pioneer Walk had to be closed, but alternative routes were available.

Work Choice at Waipa District Council Recently 18 students from Te Awamutu College and Otorohanga College attended a Work Choice Day at Waipa District Council. Waipa’s programme focussed on engineering and planning, and the integration between the two professions. These two were chosen as they are areas difficult to resource. The first session was led by various WDC staff, who talked about their roles, and the many career opportunities offered in

the different fields. After lunch the students were taken out to key sites, including Lake Te Ko Utu, Saffron Estate and Lake Karapiro Domain to see how plans and designs translated into works. Work Choice Day is held annually, nationwide, and focuses on easing the transition for youth from school, enabling them to make informed career decisions. Students gather knowledge first hand, and talk to people employed in their field of interest.

The pedestrian bridge in the town’s Memorial Park was replaced last week by Waipa District Council. The bridge is located on Pioneer Walk adjacent to the Mutu Street road bridge. A routine engineering inspection identified some weaknesses in the existing bridge, and the cost of repairs exceeded the cost of replacement. The new bridge is a single span of nearly 19 metres, constructed of tanalised laminated timber beams, and weighs six tonnes. It was constructed in Levin by Craftbuilt Industries Ltd and will be transported to the site by truck. A heavy crane was used to remove the old bridge and place the new one. Some work was also done on the existing abutments

Rod Bent, Te Awamutu Assembly of God We human beings are often too quick to jump to conclusions and judge without knowing both side of an issue or situation. So much heartache and strife has resulted as a result. Jesus Christ made the profound statement to his followers not to judge. He did not mean we shouldn’t make any assessment on a person’s character or that a court judge should not pass appropriate sentence on a person convicted of criminal behaviour. He meant that we should refrain from condemning and judging people from hearsay or from second hand sources. My experience is that to keep this command of Christ not to judge we need God’s grace to help us. Judging others just comes naturally, but refraining from judging others mostly comes supernaturally! Why this subject in Christian Comment? Mainly because our national media in its competition for the ‘best’ news story seems to be biased against sincere Christians who are seeking to present their point of view. The reality is that none of us have a completely neutral point of view, including the media. Please take the time, readers, to check out the facts, and hear both sides of a dispute before you pass judgement. Do some research. Don’t take hearsay as all the truth. Better still; leave final judgement to the only Judge who knows all things – God Almighty.

Handy effort by bridge pair Te Awamutu Bridge Club players Bunny Cox and partner Richard Knight enjoyed a successful day in the recent Cambridge Junior Tournament. They took first place North/South in the morning session to claim a session prize. In club play there was a tight finish in the Marj Thomas pairs with the top three placegetters also taking the top three places on handicap. Anne Bovet and partner Marie Moore took the honours by a narrow margin of two points from Barbara Jolly and Olga Irwin, who were only one point ahead of third placed Bunny Cox and Crean Kabel.

I remember that ‘er what does’, used to come on a Wednesday morning. My mother gave my brother and me an early morning ‘hurry up’. “Clean this bedroom before Mrs Smith arrives! (‘er what does’ was a cleaning lady).” Mother flapped around like a demented goose when Mrs Smith was due; wouldn’t do to By Chamber of have an untidy house when another woman Commerce executive officer Michael Cox. was coming into it. Her logic was completely lost on me as a teenager. If the cleaning lady was coming, why clean up? Things haven’t changes all that much. Here am I, an aging SNAG (sensitive new age guy), trying to do my share in the kitchen. Despite the feminist claims that men wrongly expect them to spend their lives ‘barefoot, pregnant and in front of a hot stove’, kitchens are the woman of the house’s territory. Any incursion is viewed with suspicion. Take the dishwashing machine for instance, a great invention for men, but for women it is an intrusion into her space and therefore she loses some of the ultimate control. So she invents some rules about this infernal machine. All dishes must be fully rinsed (washed) before they are put into the machine (to be washed?!). All cutlery must be put into the machine pointing upwards; they apparently get cleaner that way, although I’ve never noticed it. So you get mashed potato and tomato sauce all over your fingers when you load them upside down. Also when you unload the machine you run the very real risk of impaling yourself on said clean knives and forks. The dishwasher is for dishes only, saucepans must be washed in the time honoured way (usually by a man). I find when I can sneak a saucepan in it comes up sparkling clean, so why not all the saucepans and frying pans as well? So be careful you guys, it’s a dangerous world out there! As we are also very democratic in our home, ‘er indoors wants a right of reply, so here we go: “I think he’s losing it!”

TE AWAMUTU COLLEGE

NETBALL TEAMS TO BRISBANE HOW CAN A NETBALL TEAM WIN WITHOUT generous assistance from the local community. This generosity has shown itself in many EVEN BEING ON COURT? A strange question but both of these College teams (Senior A & B) have done just that by getting themselves to Brisbane. $50,000 is needed to send both teams, covering all costs, to the seven day Southern Skies tournament in Brisbane during July. We managed to obtain a grant for $7000 from Southern Trust, but the majority had to come from personal contributions, a lot of hard work with endless fundraisers, and the

forms, and this page goes towards acknowledging the businesses that have sponsored individuals. Many of these businesses make quite a habit of supporting local groups and for that, we cannot thank them enough. A small gesture of thanks from us, for the large gesture from them. There are many others who are not mentioned here, but have been acknowledged in other ways. To all our supporters and sponsors,

THANK YOU.

This Kiwi nest egg empty Te Tuatahi a Nui, Maungatautari’s sitting male kiwi, has spent the past 75 days in vain. Staff at the 3400-hectare ecological island at Pukeatua checked on Thursday night how the bird was going, hatching what they believed to be the first kiwi egg laid on the mountain in more than a century. But they found Te Tuatahi has been sitting on an empty nest. “It’s a major disappointment all round,” says Jim Mylchreest, CEO of the Maungatautari Ecological Island Trust. “We had been really hoping we could tell the world we were about to hatch the first kiwi on the mountain in more than a hundred years,” he says. “This shows just how delicate and difficult it is for our large native birds to breed. “They’re not good breeders, especially the kiwi, takahe and kakapo, and it just emphasizes the fact that we have to look after the ones we’ve got.”

Mr Mylchreest says kiwi breeding in the wild had a 90% or higher chance of losing their chicks to predators within the first three months, whereas chick

survival was far higher in protected areas such as Maungatautari. “But it wasn’t to be on this occasion. We’re hoping one of the other pairs of kiwi on the mountain will produce a chick during this breeding season.” Pim de Monchy, operations manager on the mountain and an expert in kiwi breeding, went to Te Tuatahi’s burrow with the trust’s restoration ecologist, Chris Smuts-Kennedy and several staff members late on Thursday night, waited until the bird had vacated the nest, and then checked its contents. “We found he had a very good burrow, and there was a 10cm layer of leaf litter and feathers in there, but no egg or egg fragments,” he said. “There was no evidence of a chick being present at all.” He said Te Tuatahi returned to the nest after about four hours, and when he was caught he showed no brood patch on his chest, indicating he had not been sitting on an egg.

Former Mayor of Moree and twin town giant passes away Perry James, whose name was synonymous with the Te Awamutu-Moree twin town relationship during its heyday in the 1970s and 80s, passed away recently in Moree. Mr James was Mayor of Moree, one of the largest local government areas in New South Wales located in the northwestern sector of that State. Moree’s boundary coincides in part with the New South Wales/Queensland border. Bob Vaile, former mayor of Te Awamutu Borough and deputy mayor and a driving force when the twin town relationship was forged in 1972, says Mr James was a man who had a huge personality and commitment to his community. “I was very sad, as I am sure a number of other Te Awamutu people will be, to hear of Mr James’ passing. Perry was certainly instrumental in the forming and developing of the wonderful twin town relationship enjoyed by Te Awamutu and Moree. He was a great supporter of the twin towns’ concept. “He brought a party of 88 from Moree to our town in 1984 for Te Awamutu’s Centennial and some wonderful, lasting friendships were formed.” Mr Vaile says Mr James’ funeral saw a Maori carving on the casket - carved by the late Boy Mangu and presented when a Maori cultural group from Te Awamutu College visited Moree in the late ‘80s. There was also a floral tribute, of roses, organised by Waipa District Council.

Unsafe ‘hottie’ ban continues Government has declared a new ban on the sale of unsafe hot water bottles. The new Unsafe Goods Notice not only covers rubber hot water bottles, but also hot water bottles made from PVC. “This new notice covers both rubber and PVC hot water bottles, because over the last year PVC hot water bottles were found in the market that did not meet the British Standard,” says Stephen O’Brien, acting manager, measurement and product safety service, Ministry of Consumer Affairs.

The Bryce McDougall captained men’s team have gone through the third division round-robin unbeaten after pipping Te Kowhai 5-4. They meet second placed Ngaruawahia in the final at St Andrew’s course on Sunday. Victory to Te Awamutu would see the side gain promotion for the

second year running after starting 2006 in division four. Te Awamutu were 2-1 up after the foursomes and halved the singles 3all at Te Kowhai. Two of their singles wins were achieved on the 18th. Rhys O’Connor showed his fighting qualities staging a mighty comeback to get a halve on the 18th after being four down at the turn. The Jurg Russenberger coached Te Awamutu junior boys’ team have qualified from section play to meet Morrinsville in the final at Te Aroha on Sunday.

Ohaupo end Rebels darts run The eagerly awaited darts clash between unbeaten Ohaupo and Rebels lived up to expectations. The defending champions Ohaupo did not have things all their way for a change. They won the triples 2-0 and pairs 7-2 but Rebels prevailed 4-2 in the singles. Highlight of the night was the perfect score thrown by

Ohaupo’s Doug James, bringing the total number of 180s thrown in the subsidiary round to 12. Arrows and Warriors came through the eighth round unscathed to remain the only two other unbeaten teams in the competition. Warriors had to call on all their resources to beat Te Awamutu Sports Waikeria 107, while Arrows breezed past

Nomads Too 14-3. Big improvers RSA chalked up their fourth straight win beating Joy’s Riff Raff 14-3. The RSA line-up was Steve Kahura, Mike Armstrong, Theresa Kahura, Valda Davison, Doug Cotterell and Don Hastie. Odds and Bods won by default from Nomads. Pirongia v Allsorts - no result.

At Association closing day, Doug Scott was acknowledged as the B grade champion of champions, Loral Piggott (C grade silver badge winner and C grade break) and Dorothy Scott (best C grade aggregate for Association days).

Tour of Italy no bowl of pasta but Gudsell bounces back Tim Gudsell has been given the all clear by his doctor to fly back to Te Awamutu after crashing out of the Giro d’Italia. After three nights in an Italian hospital and a 10 hour ambulance ride from Florence back to his ‘second home’ in Albi, the Frenchbased professional cyclist says he is now settled into recovery and rehab mode. “Five pro cyclists are hospitalised on average every week during the season so I guess it was just my turn,” he quipped. His debut in the Giro d’Italia (Italy’s equivalent of the Tour de France), riding for the Francaise Des Jeux team, was literally cut short two weekend’s ago when he crashed on a mountain descent near Florence. The accident occurred after over five hours and 200km, with 50km to go, when the field reached the main climb of the day. Gudsell was really starting to feel the pace as the sprinters stepped it up. When the field hit the climb current world champion Paolo Bettini decided to gather his troops and tear up the climb to put the other sprinters in difficulty. “I’m no sprinter but they sure put me in difficulty as I dropped out the back pretty quickly.” recalls Gudsell. He crested the 12km climb with a small group, only to get dropped as he tried to take a drink. “Our Francaise Des Jeux team car passed me in order to help me get back to the group, but when I saw the car start sliding around a right hand bend at 80kph I knew I was in trouble. “Due to the serious fatigue from climbing, I was slightly cross eyed and with reactions that would surely not have won me a game

TIM GUDSELL of snap.” Gudsell says he entered the corner with a really bad line. He braked late but quickly realised it was not enough and slammed into the metal guard rail, smashing into the upright support post, slicing open his left quad. His momentum flipped him over the barrier where he came to a grinding halt on a metre wide verge of earth with a scary close view of a massive cliff drop to his left. He was rushed to hospital, xrayed and scanned for internal injuries, before having the muscle in his leg stitched back together. Gudsell says while spending three days in hospital he was lucky to have a passionate Ialian cycling fan, who saw him crash, come and visit him each day. “Even though he didn’t speak English the company was nice.” His next adventure began once he was released from hospital - since there were no planes available to accommodate him and

his now horizontal leg, he had a 10 hour ambulance drive back to Albi. “That really was a long day staring at the scenery, mostly blue sky, out the back window of the ambulance. “Once home I was stoked to be welcomed by some friends from home who had come to stay, including cousin Brie (Gudsell), who made some magic pin wheel scones for lunch, and my flatmate Pete (Latham). “It wasn’t really the way I wanted to exit my first Grand Tour but I’m happy to have most of my health intact and some good friends to help start the recovery period.” His crash aside, Gudsell says the first thing he realised about grand tour life is that it is really Grand ... the hype, hotels, preparation, size of the team and team support. “Dealing with 21 days of racing is one thing, but there are long transfers before and after stages, medical control before the tour, doping controls and press duties (yes even for riders who come in well behind the leaders). “Then there’s the ultra passionate and sometimes over the top Italian fans (tifosi) forever asking for signatures, caps and biddons as you go by.” Though riders will only spend between 4-7 hours actually racing each day, there is little time for much else. When they get to put their feet up after dinner, they are ready to sleep straight away - that’s if their throbbing legs have calmed down a little. Gudsell expects to be off the bike for up to six weeks. “I’m deeply frustrated by the situation, but I’m now focused on getting back to full health and on two wheels again.”

It has the best of both worlds.

MADDY BRUNTON powers her way up Bayley Road, leading the U17 girls’ peleton in the 1560715AD Kiwivelo Te Awamutu Junior Tour. the Waikato Secondary Schools’ duathlon championships. “What success I have had is due to Errol Newlands, who has inspired me to try to reach my potential. “He is such a great mentor for juniors.” Maddy is now being coached by Brian Fleck, a past national record holder for fastest time from Auckland to Wellington. Fleck is bringing more structure to her training. It was evident in her Waikato Bay of Plenty individual time trial victory a fortnight ago. Maddy says Te

Rennie making impact on series Peter Rennie maintained his purple patch of form winning the third race in the Te A’ Cycles winter road racing series around the small Paterangi circuit. A group of three riders featured in the A grade sprint finish on Sunday, with Rennie taking the honours from Chris Russell, with Bevan Gibbs third. The trio were credited with the same time of 1.20.18. Chris Gaze was fourth in 1.21.16 and Nathan Bunn fifth in 1.2352. The graded massed start race, attracting 102 riders, was held in blustery conditions, with most grades being blown to bits by the strong cross winds. Rennie has clearly been the stand out rider in the first three weeks of the Image Winter Series. He won the opening points race around the Kaipaki circuit, then placed third behind Tim Bennett and Brad Carter in the second graded mass start race around the Singh Road circuit when 107 riders turned out. Hayden McCormick showed his class in Sunday’s third race for the under-15 riders. A handicap of 18 minutes over an approximate 18km course proved no problem for the rapid youngster as he rode through the field to claim both line honours and fastest time of 29.58. Mathew Lawrence, who won the under-15 points race at Kaipaki and placed second in the previous week’s road race, had to settle for ninth. Other divisional winners were Cameron Todd (B) 1.28.01, Cameron McKeow (C) 1.32.11, Cameron Walker (D) 1.37.26, Eltje Maizbend (E) 51.05, Alan Neilson (F) 52.55.

Awamutu Sports Cycling Club has been ‘hugely supportive’. She credits the hard racing she had with them over the summer series for laying the foundation for her New Zealand selection. Waikato Diocesan is assisting by giving the schools cycling team captain time to train, while at the same time ensuring her school work does not slip. But right now, Maddy says her focus is on Canberra. “I am training really hard because when it comes down to it - no pain, no gain.”

By Colin Thorsen Maddy Brunton is still pinching herself after making the New Zealand Under-17 girls’ cycling team to ride the Junior Kowalski Tour of Canberra. “It’s an opportunity of a lifetime,” says the multi-talented teenager. “The New Zealand team is such a great bunch of girls who get on really well.” The team has a training camp in Christchurch this week, including riding in the John Bull Tour, and heads to Canberra on July 4. The Year 12 Waikato Diocesan student says she hadn’t thought much about making the national team until the third stage of this year’s three-day Kiwivelo Te Awamutu Junior Tour. “I had a really good ride winning one hill stage and getting points in another - a group of five of us dropped the rest of the field. “Basically the same group did this again on the last stage through Wharepapa South.” The Te Awamutu Tour doubled as the New Zealand selection race. Maddy finished fifth on general classification and third in King of the Mountains. “I thought I might have a chance of making the team but was stoked to see my name when the team of six was announced.” Maddy only took up cycling seriously a year ago in her second season as a member of Te Awamutu Sports Cycling Club. Her initial interest in cycling started with triathlon and duathlon. She placed fourth in the Auckland Secondary Schools’ triathlon championships and second in
