NOTHING SHEEPISH about Ryan Hikuroa as he rounds up sheep in the Fieldays Rural Bachelor of TTee AAwwaammuuttuu LLMMVVDD the Year competition on Friday. 172051AD Cnr Mahoe St + Arawata St, Te Awamutu. Ph 871 5630 Ryan Hikuroa rated the Fieldays Rural Bach- elor of the Year Competition as an awesome experience. The 21-year-old was the youngest competitor in the event, but was able to call on his upbringing at Te Pahu to help him hold his own. “I want to win, but I entered for the experience,” he told the Courier on Friday during a break from SELECTRIX the competition. “They’re a neat bunch of guys (rival competi- tors) and I get the week off work and to meet a lot of people.” Ryan works as a semen collector for Animal Breeding Services on Airport Road. He tried to involve the audience during Fri- day’s sheepdog trials section, singing ‘YMCA’ as he rounded up his fl ock. At that stage Ryan rated the chainswing and axe throwing as the most challenging of the many and varied tasks set the bachelors. Tony Buckingham was named both Fieldays Rural Bachelor of the Year and Telecom People’s Choice award winner today. The only South-Islander in the competition was presented with the ‘golden gumboot’ by 2004 winner Justin Nelson, and will take it home to Waimahaka, south of Wyndham. Tony Buckingham’s consistency during heats over the four-day event saw him take out the title according to competition co-ordinator Elysia Shirtliff. “The 27-year-old showed he is a genuine all- round rural Kiwi bloke, which is what the compe- tition is all about.” The winner picked up a prize pack which includes a trip for two to the Gold Coast fl ying Freedom Air, seven nights accommodation and car-rental hire thanks to Accom Gold Coast, BBQ Factory vouchers, Swanndri clothing, Stihl chainsaw package and a year’s supply of Waikato Draught. The Telecom People’s Choice Award prize was a Sanyo 5600 with a photo printer and a $500 mobile credit. Training the Waipa Environment Waikato is training the Waipa River to control major erosion problems. The Regional Council is carrying out a major river works project that is gradually changing the Waipa from a braided river to a single me- andering channel. The works involve artifi cially “training” the main channel using erosion control works and plantings. The river works are designed to manage the downstream effects of a 1991 landslide at the headwaters of the Tunawaea Stream which caused a dam. The dam failed in 1992, drowning the Waipa River channel with debris that has been gradually moving downstream. Sediment and gravel from the landslide still loads into the Waipa River, causing fl ooding and erosion, and has changed the river into a braided system. The Council is concentrating on a 30 km stretch of the river, from Toa’s Bridge near Otewa to just downstream of the Waipa’s confl uence Joe Scaramuzza – Competition Organiser with the Tunawaea Stream. The Department of Conservation, Fish and Game and local iwi are supporting the project and an Iwi Management Plan has been developed to recognise the river’s cultural and spiritual values. Entries Close Friday 24th June. A total of 21 km of fencing has been completed over the past three years and 8000 willows and 5000 fl axes planted, with 1500 metres of chan- nel reconstructed. The plantings have ‘locked up’ gravel, reducing sediment fl owing into the river and improving water quality. Local fi sh re- turned very quickly, and fi sh habitats have been restored.

By Colin Thorsen Blair Richardson is literally jumping for joy after making the New Zealand equestrian team for the Adelaide three- day event. The 29-year-old will join an elite group who have repre- sented two countries on the international sports scene, having previously captained the British Young Rider team. There is also a distinct pos- sibility that the former Te Awamutu resident will get to compete against his Austral- ian wife, Nikki (nee Bishop). Nikki won the Taupo three-day event in 1996 and represented Australia at the Atlanta Olympics. The Richardsons live on Nikki’s fathers 12,000 acre property in Scone, New South Wales. They have a two-year-old son (Oscar) and are expecting their second child. Richardson’s father Ron, who lives in Te Awamutu, told the Courier that Nikki is hop- ing to get back riding in time to secure a spot in the Austral- ian team for Adelaide.

172TC052/05 “It’s a chance of a lifetime for them to compete against each other in what is the biggest event in the southern hemisphere,” says Ron Rich- ardson.
