		Bob Harvey, mayor of Waitakere City, New Zealand, is a 58-year-old surfer and volunteer lifeguard on beautiful and dangerous Karakare beach -- you might have seen it in a film called ``The Piano.'' Harvey is an author and a world-class talker; if not a Renaissance man, he is a character.
		During that time, Waitakere has built bridges over urban streams, instead of choking them; planted native trees, creating fingers of green space through urban areas to link them with the coast and the forest; and cut down on water use when the city seemed to be drying up.
		Waitakere is the first New Zealand city to be given ``Safe City'' status by the World Health Organization.

		Imago Waitakere City pulled off the upset of the season in front of a four-figure crowd at Kiwitea Street on May 16, their 'in-you-face' tactics ultimately proving the undoing of Placemakers Cook Street Central United in a rip-roaring North Island Soccer League encounter which the visitors won 3-2.
		Right from the off, Waitakere applied their hustling tactics, denying Central the room to build attacks from the back, as is their wont.
		Waitakere, however, were not done with, although a free-kick some forty yards from goal is hardly the area of the park from where you would expect to see a goal scored.
