He lives with four other fl atmates under the care of Idea Serv- ices and keeps the outside of the home looking cheerful with his array of roses and other plants.

PAGE 4 Te Awamutu Courier, Tuesday, November 21, 2006 YOUR LETTERS Someone must know Million dollar shopping Early on the morning of Sunday, November 6, some mindless cretin(s) set fi re to our Intermediate School’s newly-opened challenge course. promotion ringing tills My past experience of previous cases of school arson tells me that the idiots who do it also cannot resist bragging about their actions. So, surely, yes surely, somebody in our community must know something about this incident. While it’s doubtful that any directly-connected people are read- ers of this column, it must be that somebody who sees this letter will, perhaps be able to give the Police or the school some useful information which will help to track down the arsonists. The challenge course took many, many months of dedicated hard work by the PTA, students, parents and staff to raise the $16,000 to buy it and many hours of voluntary work to erect it. I wonder if those who chose to destroy it have ever done anything positive like that in their whole lives! If, on reading this, you can throw any light on this tragedy, by passing on the information you could help 450 deserving children to see that justice can be done, and, who knows, by making the culprits accountable, do something for them.

The 15-year-old was fi rst girl home and sixth overall in the 6.3km secondary school section in a time of 26m12s. Her coach Murray Green says she has just car- ried on from where she left off with her outstand- ing cross country form throughout the winter. She fi nished second in last year’s Round the Bridges race but turned-the-tables on 2005 winner Lydia O’Donnell (Tauranga) this year. Sinclair was a member of the second placed Te Awamutu College team, along with Trent Nichol- son (5th), Andrew Muller (7th), Cameron Furer (11th) and Andre Peake (7th girl). The team fi nished runners-up to an all male team from Hillcrest High, just missing out on retaining the trophy they won last year. This year’s event attracted record entries, with nearly 3000 runners and walkers competing. Peake and Sinclair followed up with fi ne per- formances at the Waikato/Bay of Plenty 3000m championships at Porritt Stadium the following weekend. Sinclair fi nished third in the W16 grade with a personal best time of 10m51s. Peake won the U15 girls’ event only minutes after winning an 800m event in the older W16 grade. Her 3000m time of 11m7s took a whopping 47 seconds off her previous best.

Gymnasts ranging in age from 5 to 13 years competed on ﬁ ve apparatus, ﬂ oor, beam, bars, pommel and vault. The winning team, decided on the highest average score over all apparatus, was Mor- rinsville Gym Club.

They took out the 325TC021/06 Naomi Forshaw Memo- rial Trophy. The day concluded with a display of rhyth- mic gymnastics by the 325TC037/06 Spiralz Gymnastics Club (Hamilton), followed by a display of men’s gymnastics by ICTA members of Hamilton V City Gymnastics and Te Awamutu YMI - all of whom had recently competed at the TTurnsurns GrassGrass Gymsport nationals in Christchurch.
