CFP MARCUS GOWER, new Te Awa- mutu Ward councillor. CFP VERN WILSON, new Te Awamutu Ward councillor. Waipa Mayor Alan Livingston’s outstanding record in the role for the past nine years saw him stave off the three challengers for the district’s top job on Saturday. But although Mr Livingston was over 1400 votes clear of nearest rival, Deputy Mayor Peter Lee, there was still an obvious anti- project message from many voters. Mr Lee collected 4418 votes to Mr Livingston’s 5851 (progress result with 98% of returned voting papers counted) — much of that on the back of his stated opposition to the proposed museum/theatre pro- ject in Te Awamutu and the new swimming pool complex in Cam- bridge. Fellow candidates Steve Baron (1212 votes) and James Parlane (429 votes) also voiced opposition to the proposed projects, but Mr Lee was obviously seen as the frontrunner by project opponents. Mr Livingston says he was ‘‘thrilled to be re-elected and look- ing forward to the challenge of representing what is a very special, district’’. He noted that nationally there had been a reaction to the depressed economic climate with a number of big turnarounds in districts throughout the country. ‘‘Locally the issues of the proposed museum/theatre complex in Te Awamutu and pool in Cam- bridge had impacts on outcomes. With regards to the museum, some of the serious misinformation pro- moted seems to have been taken note of by number of voters. ‘‘One of the first tasks of the new Council will be to ensure the community is totally informed about where things are at with the museum and pool projects. ‘‘The loss of councillors Michael Cox and Graham Jull in Te Awa- mutu, both strong advocates for the museum concept going out to the community is perhaps a reflection of the misinformation hitting home.’’ Mr Livingston says he welcomes the new councillors and commun- ity board members elected, who will be sworn in alongside those returning, on October 26 along with election of a Deputy Mayor. Mr Livingston says with both he and his deputy standing, obviously one was going to miss out. ‘‘I am grateful for his support and friendship.’’ Mr Lee says he was disap- pointed not to have won the mayor- alty, as the amount of dissent he was hearing about the two major projects during his campaigning had him ‘‘quite hopeful’’. ‘‘I celebrated hard on Saturday night in any case. I have given the job 12 good years (as a Cambridge councillor, nine of those as Deputy Mayor). My family said ‘welcome back dad’. I have some projects that I have put off for 12 years and I will be devoting energy to those.’’ Mr Lee was not sure whether he would try for the mayoralty again in three years’ time and he was going to reflect on events before making any decision. ‘‘There was definitely a loud and clear message against the museum/theatre in Te Awamutu and the new pool in Cambridge and Council has to take that on board.’’ Steve Baron, who was buoyed by his vote, said he would stand again if there was public support. James Parlane was in no doubt about his mayoralty bid next time, vowing to be back in three years to try again. ‘‘While the Mayor has been reinstalled, there has been a clear message that the public of Te Awamutu do not want a new museum/theatre complex.’’ Both Mr Parlane and Mr Lee pointed to the axing of incumbent Te Awamutu councillors, Graham Jull and Michael Cox, as part of the strong anti-project message to Council. Both were strong and vocal supporters of the museum/theatre project. Mr Cox went as far as saying at one meet the candidates meeting that if people did not want the project, then they should not ‘tick the box for Cox’. Te Awamutu Ward voters returned two other incumbent councillors, Hazel Barnes (highest polling with 2332 votes) and George Simmons(1722), while sandwiched between them were newcomers Vern Wilson (2043) and Marcus Gower (1936). Mrs Barnes has been a sup- porter of the museum/theatre pro- ject (although in slightly more reserved fashion), while Mr Wilson has been openly critical of it. Other candidates votes were: Pat Bishop (1558), Graham Jull (1475), Michael Cox (1304) and Kataraina Hodge (739). Pirongia Ward returned incumbents Bruce Thomas (1185) and Diane Sharpe (1003) in the face of a lively challenge from William Nicholl (884). Te Awamutu Community Board candidates returned included Rich- ard Hurrell (2882) and Dean Taylor (2072). Marcus Gower received 2089 votes but was also elected as a councillor so will fulfil that role. Other successful candidates were Bernard Westerbaan (1675) and Kellie Ellis (1550), closely trailed by Monique Mexted (1516), with Kataraina Hodge on 806. In Cambridge incumbent coun- cillors, Joe Scaramuzza (2518) and Barbara Taranaki (1657), were joined by Dennis Finn (2146) and Sue Milner (1525). Missing out was incumbent Errol Newlands, ninth highest polling with 957 votes.

YOUR LETTERS
Mayor deserved winMy congratulations to Alan
Livingston for being re-elected.
You wouldn’t meet a nicerguy than Alan and he willcontinue to represent us well.
While I may not agree withAlan’s ever increasing list ofnon-core projects and rateincreases, he works hard anddeserves his win.
To those of you who votedfor me, I appreciate your con-fidence and thank you for it.
Given I have a very lowprofile in Te Awamutu andthat I ran a very frugal cam-paign, (no advertising or
billboards) my policy andapproach obviouslyresonated, given the respect-able 1212 votes I received.
It is unlikely Alan willstand again next election sothe race might very well becloser in 2013.
Whether or not I standagain will depend on publicsupport.
In the meantime I willcontinue with my work atBetter Democracy NZ. I can becontacted via email [email protected] on 0211651882.
STEVE BARON
Realistic negative can be positiveI find it interesting that the
many valid concerns raisedabout the financial viability ofthe proposed museum/theatrecomplex are being counteredwith calls to be ‘positive’, withthe implication being, thatcriticisms are ‘negative’ andtherefore bad.
From all the informationpresented to me thus far, the
ability for anyone to continueto think positively about theproposal obviously mustdepend on a total avoidance ofthe truth about the matter!
Encouraging people toignore this so called ‘negative’information is misguided,dangerously dysfunctional anddoesn’t make the truth of theinformation any less.
An uncritical adoption to‘being positive’ and ignoringthe truth brings to mind thefairy tale ‘The Emperor’s NewClothes’.
The child in Hans ChristianAnderson’s tale told it like itwas. The positive-negativeargument is an attempt, likethe parent in the story, to shutdown the voice of reason.
There are times when criti-cism, constraining feedbackand ‘negative’ thinking isindeed ‘positive’, valuable andthe epitome of ‘forward think-ing’. Finally, if any of the aboveis to be framed by a ‘positive’thinker as ‘not being positive’,are you not being judgmentaland therefore ‘negative’?
JULIE MEAGHER
Councillors strong contributorsI would like to publicly
acknowledge the contri-bution that former council-lors Graham Jull andMichael Cox have made tothe Waipa Council.
They will be a great losswithin the Council chamberand the new elected council-lors for Te Awamutu willhave some hard work to do tocome up to their standards.
Graham Jull was an excel-lent chair of committee andMichael Cox, with hisaccountancy expertise, con-tributed to the financial side.
Both worked hard for TeAwamutu with the mainstreet upgrades, Walk ofFame and a concept only for anew museum. Together theycontributed to the whole ofthe Waipa District. As a
councillor elected to the Wai-pa District, you do not workfor your own area but for thebenefit of the whole of WaipaDistrict and the loss of thesetwo conscientious Te Awa-mutu people looking for thebest for the community willbe missed.
DIANE SHARPE(Waipa District councillor
– Pirongia Ward)
Superb serviceI recently moved back to Te
Awamutu after spending 20 yearsin Hamilton and the Wellingtonarea. I have been very impressedwith the attitude of Te Awamutubusinesses and services; prompt,courteous service and a niceamount of interest in the individ-ual. The businesses I dealt withhave all represented the best ofsmall town service.
KATHY ANSO
Should’ve asked publicI note that some of the people
have made their wishes clearregarding a new museum.
Crs Cox, Jull, Lee, Newlandsand others could have asked thepublic properly if they wantedit before wasting money on thisproject. Now they have paid theultimate price. Gone. Otherreturning councillors would dowell to heed the warning.
With two new councillorsfor Te Awamutu Ward, we havehalf a chance to get a message toCouncil that at present, untilthe Events Centre is paid offand the library is required toextend its hours, there is nospare cash for a new museum
and it should return to the listof projects contemplated butnot funded.
Readers should be advisedthat there is still a resolution onthe Council books that suggeststhat the project is to continue, atime line is in place, fundingmodels have been proposed andthe CEO has been directed torefine or change these andthere is supposed to be con-sultation, however there will beno referendum.
WDC should note the Com-monwealth Games venues inIndia. They built it and nobodycame to watch.

Te Awamutu Brasscombined the CentennialDinner with this year’s BandAwards, and also receivedtributes on ‘a job well done’over 100 years.
The tributes came in per-son from Waipa Mayor AlanLivingston, who attendedwith his wife Janet, NewZealand Brass BandsAssociation presidentDianne Smeehuyzen, NZBBAcommittee member and Wai-kato Brass Bands Associa-tion president Robert Wilsonand Moree Brass band con-ductor Marty Roberts.
Te Awamutu Brass presi-dent John Pye acknowledgedit was quite an achievementfor a town the size of TeAwamutu to have a brassband celebrating its centen-ary.
In fact he pointed out TeAwamutu was strong enoughto have two bands whenmany others in New Zealandhad folded.
He paid tribute to all themembers, past and present,and made special mention ofthe numerous banding famil-ies who had been part of theorganisation over many gen-erations.
Mr Pye said the support ofthe community was a hugefactor in their longevity andsuccess.
He, and MayorLivingston, made mention ofthe coverage afforded by theTe Awamutu Courier for suchevents as the Centenary, andover many years, which con-tributed to that success.
In welcoming all theguests to the event, Mr Pyesays bandspeople and thepublic of Te Awamutu especi-ally appreciated the efforts ofthose who had travelled from
our twin town Moree.That sentiment was ech-
oed by Mr Roberts when hespoke during the evening.
With an ‘Aussie gidday’Mr Roberts began his speech,and said it was a privilege tobe able to present a certifi-cate on behalf of, and signedby, all members of the MoreeBrass Band to acknowledgethe 100 years and the specialbond between the two organ-isations.

Paramedic aids earthquake victimsReminder to locals to be ready for emergencies
PAULINE AUSTIN
TC121010SP06TE AWAMUTU St John station manager Pauline Austin took many photos, including this one which features a damagedbuilding on Montreal Street, following the Canterbury earthquake.
After spending two weeksworking in Christchurch fol-lowing the Canterbury earth-quake, St John advancedparamedic Pauline Austinrecognises the need to be pre-pared for an emergency.
‘‘It was an invaluable experi-ence and I have learnt a lotabout disaster planning. Weshould never be complacentabout the possibility of anatural disaster occuring inour own area.
‘The damage to the infra-structure and the huge numberof people the quake affected willtake years for Christchurch torecover from.
‘‘It is important that wemake a plan for ourselves andour families and have emer-gency survival items set aside.
‘After the earthquake items
like water, food, torches, gasbottles, barbecues and genera-tors sold out immediately.’’
Mrs Austin spent two hecticweeks based in Christchurchwhere she was initially work-ing in the Addington RacewayWelfare Centre as a nurse/advanced paramedic co-ordinator for 12 hour shifts.
‘‘Although most of theinjuries were relatively minor,some were more serious withpatients suffering injuries frombeing hit by falling debris.
‘‘We also dealt with stressand distribution of medication.When that centre closed I wasdeployed to the Wigram ambu-lance station to work on-call asan advanced paramedic.’’
When she returned to theWaikato Mrs Austin foundflooding and damage from
recent storms.‘‘The need to be prepared for
disasters certainly sunk in. Iencourage all local people tovisit www.getthru.govt.nz toget further advice on how wecan prepare ourselves.’’
On a local front Mrs Austinsays the Te Awamutu ambu-lance station has beenextremely busy — averaging 72jobs per week.
‘‘We have been lucky to havemembers from Otorohanga,Cambridge and Hamilton sup-port our callouts.
But we desperately needmore local volunteers from ourown community.
‘‘If anyone is interested inbecoming a volunteer pleasecall in to the Te Awamutustation or visitwww.stjohn.org.nz’’

TC121010DT06FREEMAN Home resident Spence Gatton has aspecial reason to watch the CommonwealthGames — he has two grandsons in the wrestlingteam. He says it takes a bit of channel surfingthough to find what you want to watch.
Two grandsons at Games
Spence Gatton has always enjoyed his sport, butlately he is watching more than usual trying to seefamily in action at the Commonwealth Games.
Mr Gatton’s big screen TV dominates his roomin Freeman Home, more to do with failing eyesightthan anything else, and it has been doing overtimefor the past week.
His grandsons are wrestlers Nick Lane, nowfrom Wellington who competes in the under 120kgclass, and Hamilton’s Aaron Quinlan who is in theunder 96kg.
Quinn was the wrestling team’s main medalhope, but was out after losing his first bout in whatis being described as a gutsy performance.
Although the 36-year-old went down 9-1 to SouthAfrican Etienne van Huyssteen, it was amazing heeven made the fight after suffering a bad eye injuryin training with Kiwi teammate Andrei Paulet.
Lane started better, with a win, but then wentdown to Gold medalist Arjan Bhullar of Canada inhis semi-final.
He started well in his repechage semi-finalagainst Hugues Onanena of Cameroon, but fellshort 1-4 to the eventual Bronze medal winner.
Mr Gatton says there has been some good sportat the Games, but like most Kiwis is disappointedat the lack of medals.
He has always enjoyed wrestling, but not theprofessional stuff which he thinks is ‘a bit of ahave’.
He recalls first going to wrestling in theStratford Town Hall, where his father was on thedoor, as a teenager and has enjoyed the traditionalform of the sport ever since.

Pets proven to hMany studies have been conducted to demonstrate the pos-
itive effect that pets can have on our mental health.Shivaun Statham, Purina’s resident pet-care expert says a
pet can be a great friend and Purina has long known that a family cat or dog can make someone’s life happier.
“Pets are now playing an essential role in our lives, and hav-ing a cat or dog as a companion can help improve both our physical and emotional well-being,” says Ms Statham.
She identifi es several areas where pets play an important role in our health:
SOCIAL BENEFITSPets can be great conversation starters aiding in the reduc-
tion of anxiety levels.They are also being credited with helping fi nd love.
Purina’s recent annual survey showed that almost a quarter of male dog owners (20.9%) used their dog to start a conver-sation with a good-looking stranger.
Animals are often natural conversation starters and can be used to make love connections.
Being happy and in love can only have a positive impact on our health, says Ms Statham.
BEHAVIOURAL BENEFITS Owning pets gives people a sense of responsibility and en-
courages a nurturing side.Purina’s annual survey showed that pets are now consid-
ered very much part of the family.51% of cat owners and 59% of dog owners consider them-
selves as mum or dad to their cats and dogs respectively. For children in particular, the responsibility of having a pet
encourages social skills as they learn to be good friends, while paying attention to a pet’s needs also helps to build positive relationships, says Ms Statham.
EMOTIONAL BENEFITS Pets have the ability to make us feel good about ourselves.Purina’s annual survey showed that pets are becoming hu-
manised and that the affection our pets show us is incredibly important.
72% of male cat owners agree that their cats are affectionate and one in fi ve female dog owners cite that their dog showing them unconditional love is their pet’s top trait.
Pets can also help with loneliness as they promote an inter-est in life.
Through bondingand secure, says M

Docking dogs’ tails for cosmetic reasons has become a contentious issue because in the past puppies’tails have been docked in order to conform to the public’s perception of how the animal should look.
Dog tail docking is now illegal in many countries including most Eu-ropean countries, South Africa and some states of Australia.
In New Zealand, however, the requirements around tail docking changed with the release in June of the Animal Welfare (Dogs) Code of Welfare.
The essential points from this code are:
� Puppy tails can no longer be re-moved or shortened surgically (by anyone, including veterinarians) forcosmetic or prophylactic reasons.
� The tails of puppies between 2 and 5 days of age may be removedor shortened by ‘tail banding’ (the application of an elastic tourniquet) by any person provided:
That person possesses the ap-propriate knowledge, training and competency necessary to do so ef-fectively and they are accredited to do so under a documented quality assurance scheme.
� Veterinarians can continue to shorten or remove the tail surgically of any dog in order to manage injury or disease only.
Any breeder wishing to continue tail docking is advised to contact the New Zealand Kennel Club.

TA Sports Waikato hockey championsClub’s feeder women’s reserve team complete notable double
TC121010CT01ROBBIE MATHEWS pictured playing for Te AwamutuSports at Gallagher Hockey Centre, Hamilton, coachedthe side to Waikato premier grade glory this season.
CFPCAPTAIN fantastic Rachel Falconer led by example forWaikato premier champions Te Awamutu Sports in 2010.
BY COLIN THORSEN
Te Awamutu Sportshockey teams pulled off thedouble for a fourth time win-ning both the Waikatowomen’s premier and seniorreserve championships.
After a scoreless first halfin the premier final, EcolabTe Awamutu Sports’superior experience and fit-ness showed in the secondhalf against High School OldGirls.
One of five New ZealandMasters representatives inthe side, Kelly Rowlingsonscored twice for a 2-0 victory.
A classic Robbie Mathewsfeed saw Rowlingson attackthe back line and slot the ballin behind the keeper to openthe scoring.
Mathews also sparked TeAwamutu’s second goal —but it was Rowlingson’sdetermination to get to therebound, leaping over thekeeper, that secured the vic-tory and her player of the dayaccolade.
Finishing the season asWaikato champions helpedcushion the disappointmentof finishing fourth in theWaikato, Bay of Plenty andCounties Inter-City competi-tion earlier in the season.
Te Awamutu Sports hadplayed outstandingly in theirInter-City semi-final loss toOtumoetai, fully extendingthe Bay side, then werepipped on strokes by Rotoruain the playoff for third andfourth after the game hadended 1-1 in ordinary time.
Credit must go to RachelFalconer, captain of the Wai-kato premier women’s cham-
pion side, for turning theirseason around after losingsome of their senior playersand coach in the first fivegames.
Falconer pulled the teamtogether, with help fromsome senior heads, andMathews took over some ofthe coaching.
Mathews has been a greatservant of New Zealand andWaikato hockey.
The former internationalmidfielder is still the BlackSticks longest serving player,having represented hercountry for 15 years from1985 to 2000. She was the firstBlack Sticks player to reachthe 150 games milestone andhad 157 caps in all.
She was selected in thisyear’s New Zealand Mastersover 35 team to Australia(she is also eligible for theover 40’s and over 45’s) butwas unavailable.
Mathews did feature inthe Midlands side that placedthird in the national provin-cial league.
Midlands had a gut-wrenching loss to Aucklandin the semi-finals, beaten byan extra time golden goal,then upset previouslyunbeaten Canterbury 4-2 inthe playoff for third/fourth.
‘‘Te Awamutu Sports issuch a good club to play for,’’says Mathews.
‘‘The club is always look-ing to nurture young players,we’ve got a good balance ofold heads and youthfulexuberance.’’
Falconer says with thefeeder team showing ‘enorm-ous potential’, the futurelooks bright for Te Awamutu
women’s hockey.The club’s reserve team,
full of up-and-coming playersand coached by Jane Stokes,won the Waikato second div-ision championship trophyfor an unprecedented 13thtime — beating Fraser Tech3-2 in the final.
The game was wonthrough an outstanding teamperformance, full of dynamicpassing.
Goal scorers were AnnaBilling, with a classy reversestick shot, and the talentedNgahinapouri McLeansiblings, Maddie and Neive,
from penalty corners.Maddie was player of the day.
Five Te Awamutu Sportsplayers featured in tri-umphant New Zealand Mas-ters teams in the test seriesacross the Tasman againstAustralia.
Jo Greenwood, KellyRowlingson and NickyPearce were members of thevictorious over 35’s Kiwiteam, while Helen Currie andWendy Mackay helped theover 45’s team win theirseries on superior goal differ-ence after recording a win,loss and draw.

TC121010CT02WAIKATO regional C grade champions Te Awamutu on their return from the national super championships in Palmerston North,from left, Jo Armstrong, Yvonne Collins, Michelle Strawbridge, Alison Tuck, Di Johnston, Nicky Timmo, Phillipa Gray.
BY COLIN THORSEN
Te Awamutu can boast having the fourthbest C grade ladies’ squash team in thecountry.
And with an ounce of luck, the sevenstrong team could have returned home fromthe national C grade super championshipsin Palmerston North with a podium placing.
They were pipped three matches to twoby Mangakahia from Northland in the playoffs after being on level terms at 2-all.
Regional champion teams from through-out New Zealand vied for the title of nationalC grade champions.
First up Te Awamutu lost 3/2 to Te Puke— a young, fit team who went on to win thenational title.
Stung by the narrow loss, Te Awamututook their frustration out on Otago Univers-ity, thrashing the students 5/0.
Di Johnston played well to beat localJenna Knight who was a playing for the
Varsity team.Te Awamutu’s hot form continued in
rounds two and three, dealing to Khandallah(Wellington) and Rangitikei (CentralDistricts) both by 4/1 margins, to put themin the play off against Mangakahia.
Nicky Timmo, Jo Armstrong and PhillipaGray were exhausted before taking the courtdue to playing in all four previous matches.
Armstrong and Timmo dug deep one lasttime, pulling off ‘incredible’ wins to puttheir team in a 2-all position.
Te Awamutu’s wonderful run in both theWaikato regional and national super cham-pionships ended with the Northlanderstaking out the fifth and deciding match towin 3/2.
The fourth best C grade team in thecountry, Te Awamutu had beaten Te Rapa4/1, Leamington 4/1 and Hamilton 3/2 tobecome Waikato super champions.
The team of Yvonne Collins, NickyTimmo, Jo Armstrong, Alison Tuck,
Phillipa Gray, Di Johnston and MichelleStrawbridge then found out what coach RossCollins meant by ‘real training’ for the nextcouple of months preparing for the nationalsuper championships.
Those extra ‘hard yards’ training provedwell worthwhile.
‘‘It was a great team effort getting fourth,there were some outstanding personalachievements, but we all felt that thepossibility of a national title was within ourgrasp — here’s hoping next year,’’ sayscoach Collins.
Armstrong went through the nationalsunbeaten, winning all her five matches,while Timmo had four wins and one loss.They have both subsequently been promotedto B grade, along with team-mate YvonneCollins, mother of Armstrong and wife of theteam coach.
The team wishes to publicly thank theirsponsors for helping them get to thenationals.

24-11 in the final of the men’shandicap singles at Te AwamutuBowling Club.
Purser took full advantage ofhis four shots start, winning 12ends to Byett’s six.
Byett managed to eliminateMurray Wilson, who also had afour shot start, in the semi-finalsbut never really threatened to
overhaul Purser.Les Ashby had a three shot
start in his semi-final againstPurser, but was beaten 21-9 bythe eventual winner.

DIANA DOBSON PHOTOA WORLD away from home ... Te Awamutu’s Ron Guest (centre) withAmerican Jan Huff and Guatemalan Scarlet De Rodas, who are also FEIstewards, at the World Equestrian Games in Kentucky.
BY DIANA DOBSON
Organisers of the justcompleted 2010 WorldEquestrian Games hadevery reason to feel theywere being watched...because they most defin-itely were.
One of those keen tolearn everything hecould about what goeson behind the scenes ofsuch a high-rankingevent was TeAwamutu’s own RonGuest.
He was at the gamesas a volunteer. Theretired farmer is an FEIsteward and was taskedwith overseeing thetraining tracks. It sawhim heading out aroundthe 10km plus loop fiveto six times a day on golfcarts.
Volunteers werehosted while at thegames and somereceived a contributiontowards their travel, butit was more a labour oflove. He was one of anumber of Kiwis whomade the trip to be partof such an experience.
It was Guest’s firstworld games, but he hasbeen on the ground juryat top internationalevents in Malaysia andAustralia.
“I hope to take backwhat I have learnedhere and make sure wemeet or exceed some ofthose standards at ourevents at home,” hesays. “There is such abuzz here.”
And it’s been likethat since he arrived.He’s one of hundreds
staying in a 15-acre RVpark and they get ashuttle to and from thegrounds. It’s completewith a restaurant, barand all the extras.
“It’s all been so pro-fessionally run outhere,” he says.
Guest also spentsome time manning thegates in and out of thestable area.
“We sit here and seeso many top gradehorses go by – it’sincredible.”
He’s a bit disap-
pointed not to be able tostay for the carriagedriving section of thegames, but will bewinging his way homewhen that’s underway.
He and wife Beth,also a former endurancecompetitor, live on a60-acre lifestyle block atPukeatua where they dohorse agistment, breedalpacas and hosthomestays. DaughterNatasha is not long backinto competitive endur-ance after a bit of abreak.
The World Eques-trian Games werehosted in Lexington,Kentucky, with NewZealand represented inshowjumping andeventing as well asendurance.
It is the first time thegames have been heldoutside of Europe andattracted more than 800riders from 58countries. It is the larg-est ever World Gamesand is expected to beworth around $US150million to the economy.

Sinclair off to hotstart in America
CFPLAURA SINCLAIR out in front racing in New Yorklast year.
Te Awamutu teen-ager Laura Sinclair hasmade a hot start to hersecond year at GeorgeMason University inFairfax, Virginia.
After a couple ofmonths of base trainingback home during win-ter and a win in theTaupo Half Marathon,Sinclair returned to theheat of late summer inAmerica and the start oftheir cross countryseason.
In her first run shefinished third in 18minutes 11 seconds over5km at Mt St Mary’s inMaryland, followed by astunning win at theDelaware Invitationalin Newark, Delaware,setting a new record forthe 5km course of 17m41s. She won by a mass-ive 40 seconds.
To add icing to thecake, she was namedConference ‘Athlete ofthe Week’ for her effort.
Then, on her ‘home’course, Sinclair backedup with another win,this time over 6km witha huge personal best,recording 20m 46s.
This time wouldhave been good enoughfor a Top 10 finish at theregional finals last year.She led her team to ateams win as well.
Each of these raceshas been against differ-ent groups of Universi-ties from a number ofStates, including LamarUniversity in Texas atthe latest meeting.
Her former coach inNew Zealand, MurrayGreen says it is great
that Laura is now win-ning races after years ofstrong performancesback home where shewas often the brides-maid rather than thebride, especially at anational level.
He says Laura wasespecially happy withher latest win as the restof George Mason Uni-versity track and fieldteam were there to sup-port her, as were theother cross country
members of their team.Sinclair’s next race
is at her ConferenceChampionships whereshe is hoping for strongpersonal and team per-formances before head-ing to the Regionalfinals.
Despite racingagainst third and fourthyear students, Greenrates Laura a bigchance to feature highlyin these events in hercurrent form.

In addition to tracktime, the riders andtrainers were giventalks on sports health,attitude, sponsorshipand other topics fromfive-times nationalmidget car championGraham Standing andsports health expertAndy Patterson.
Bunyan commentedthat he was amazed atthe progress all theriders had made in sucha short time.
