LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Mayor may have done his dashNow is the time for the mayor
to either continue his campaignof destruction or have a quietword with one of his proteges togive the chosen one the heads-upand inside running. It will beinteresting.
The last three years have seenthe rules bent as far as they canbe, if not broken by AlanLivingston. He may have donehis dash and in the feudalisticsystem that exists in Waipa, theserfs may revolt against him.
Seeing his letter filled me withnausea rather than confidence.
The economics of Waipa areworse now than they ever were,with most things going on theslate and borrowing at an all-timehigh.
Waipa District Council andstaff have diligently followed thepolicies of Robert Muldoon,which were never going to work.I am reminded of one ofMuldoon’s famous quotes: ‘‘I cangive you the information but Ican’t give you the brains tounderstand it with.’’
That is the same with WaipaDistrict Council. Mr Editor we
have the brains all right. We cansee they don’t have any brainsand they don’t have muchinformation. The things they aresupposed to know do not gettrapped in the grey matter thatmost people have between theirears.
Every week in this column,we see ordinary people pointingout the failure in the logic ofcouncil and the inconsistenciesof its staff and that is with most ofthe information disguised or hid-den from them.
Mr Dyet and Mayor
Livingston’s pirates continue toplunder ratepayers and makepathetic excuses, including thatold one about having assets theydid not know they had, or findingones that they lost.
In reality, it is the same oldassets they lost last year that theyfound this time: a bit like hidingyour own Easter eggs.
We really do need to amalga-mate with a few other councilsand try to find some people whomight have some clue as to whatthey are doing.
JAMES PARLANE
Contact valuedI was absolutely taken
by surprise, when Iopened a letter last weekfrom Waipa DistrictCouncil.
They personallyreplied to the submissionsI put in and informed meof what was happeningwith big issues, such asthe library, museum and
water reservoir.This is the first time in
nine years I’ve been livinghere I have had a formalresponse to these matters.
So well done GaryDyet and his team forkeeping the communica-tion channels open toratepayers.

Footrot funThe timeless humour of Roger
Hall is still relevant today.While the world changes
around us, nothing much changeson the farm at ‘Footrot Flats’.
Three nervous sheep worryabout what is the plan for the day.Is it to be ‘shearing’, ‘dagging’,‘dosing’ or perhaps is it ‘tuppingtime’ again?
Dog basks in the sunshine,hoping to escape Wal’s notice.
Wal, sometimes distracted bythe voluptuous charms of Cheeky,worries about the weather and allthe chores.
Cooch worries about trees,Cecil the ram worries about beingpast his ‘use-by’ date (needlesslyas it happens).
Aunt Dolly with corgi, PrinceCharles, makes her scones.
I’m sure they were delicious,despite being short of two or threetablespoons of dough. How didthat happen? Come and see foryourselves! It’s a great show, witha laugh a minute.
PAT JACKWAYS
More time neededWe appreciate the
opportunities Waipa Dis-trict Council gives us tocomment on the ProposedWaipa District Plan andother plans.
The document sets theplan for our district forour long term future. Theconsultation period wastoo short for us to read,solicit advice and submitmeaningful comment.
Considering the signi-
ficance of this plan to usand our region, theimpact of proposedchanges and that most ofus are lay-people/ratepayers we respect-fully encourage WDC infuture to allow us a moreappropriate period forconsultation andsubmissions, perhaps inthe order of 100 workingdays.
TOM DAVIES
Massive ratesrise unjustified
This week I received my annual ratedemand for our property at AwanuiAvenue, a huge 17 per cent increasefrom $1655 to $1988. A near neighbourhad a 21 per cent increase.
We were recently told in the newsmedia, that Waipa District rates wouldhave about a 4.5 per cent increase.
How can my rate increase and othersbe justified?
Why should I be charged for watertreatment and supply and sewage dis-posal when my property and all theother 20-odd residences at AwanuiAvenue and Brills Road extension haveour own water supply and septic tanks?These massive rate increases aretotally unjustified and unethical.
We are struggling to pay them, Idon’t know how families with depend-ant children or elderly couples relianton age benefits have any hope ofcoping.
Most of the Waipa Council in myopinion, are out of touch with reality.

Some Waipa ratepayershit hard for 2012/13
Some Waipa ratepayers havenoticed large increases in theirrates invoices for the first ratesinstalment of the 2012/13 year.
Chief executive Garry Dyet saidwhile the total increase in totalrates revenue was an average of 4.3per cent, the increases affectingsome individual properties wasmuch higher in some cases andlower in others.
Those properties most affectedby large increases are commercial/industrial, smaller rural and life-style blocks and those with meteredwater in the Te Awamutu ward andPirongia and Ohaupo townships.
This is because of two keydrivers — last year’s revaluation ofproperties across the district andchanges to the council’s Revenueand Financing Policy.
The revised values from thethree-yearly district revaluationwere used to assess rates for the2012/13 year and were based on anychange in capital value, relative toother properties. This was stronglysignalled in the council’s draft10-Year Plan.
Furthermore, the changes to theRevenue and Financing Policy sawthe funding of the district’s poolschange to a more even split of usercharges, district wide funding andtargeted rate.
There was also changes to thefunding for district museums from100 per cent district wide funding toa mix of district wide funding,targeted ward rate and fees andcharges.
This has meant a significantincrease for properties in the TeAwamutu Ward for costsassociated with the Te AwamutuEvents Centre and Museum.
While most residentialincreases had been largely offset bya reduction in water andwastewater charges, other proper-ties such as commercial/indus-trial, smaller rural and lifestyleblocks and rural residential did nothave the same relief.
‘‘While we included more indi-cator properties in our draft10-Year Plan consultation docu-ments than in previous years, wewill be looking at ways to improveon this in the future,’’ said Mr Dyet.
‘‘The council has made thedecision to realign some of ourcosts to the communities of benefitand it is something that was notdone lightly,’’ he said.
‘‘The council’s focus remains onhaving a fair rating system.’’
Another change this year hasbeen the removal of the five percent early payment discount forthose who pay their total rates bill
by the first instalment deadline.‘‘For the 2011/12 year ratepayers
paid a net $309,000 to fund thediscount, with approximately 25per cent of ratepayers receiving thediscount,’’ said Mr Dyet.
‘‘This meant the 75 per cent ofratepayers who did not pay the fullyears rates by the first instalmentsubsidised the rest. The councilconsidered it fairer and more equit-able to remove the discount,’’ hesaid.
Direct debit payment plans areavailable for those who wouldprefer to spread the cost over theyear. These include weekly, fort-nightly or monthly options at noadditional cost and are designed tofit in with ratepayers budgets.
The due date for the first instal-ment is 21 August.
Waipa District Council will con-tinue to administer the RatesRebate Scheme on behalf of theDepartment of Internal Affairs.Further information will be avail-able from the council offices mid-September and application formswill be mailed to all previousapplicants.
Anyone who would like moreinformation on their rates invoicesshould contact the council on 0800924 723. More information willappear in Tuesday’s Courier.

Nicholson spearheads first Kiwi medal
NZ HERALD PHOTO
KIHIKIHI’S Andrew Nicholson in celebratory pose after theeventing team secured New Zealand’s first medal at the 2012Olympics.
BY COLIN THORSEN
Andrew Nicholson’s eventingteam bronze at the London Olympicscontinued a remarkable golden runfor Kihikihi over the past month.
The Olympic bronze comes hot-on-the-heels of Kihikihi winning $5.5million in Lotto, New Zealand Bakeryof the Year and Supreme Pie for thesecond year running.
But Nicholson was left lamentingon what might have been afterspearheading his New Zealandeventing team to third place.
The bronze was a nice birthdaypresent for the World No. 2, whoturned 51 yesterday, but he deserveda much better return for two fantasticjumping rounds — going clear, withno time faults, in both thecrosscountry and showjumping onNereo.
Had the rub of the green gone hisway, Nicholson’s chances of an
individual medal would have beengreatly enhanced. He finished aheart-breaking fourth in the individ-ual three-day event for the top 25riders at the Olympics.
New Zealand eventing coach, EricDuvander is reportedly backingNicholson after the Kiwi No 1slammed organisers for imposing acontroversial weather delay that costhim a shot at an individual Olympicmedal.
The two-time Olympic team med-allist was fuming after his dressagetest was delayed by 10 minutesbecause the thunder and lightningaround Greenwich Park was consid-ered too dangerous.
Equestrian course builder, JohnNicholson of Kihikihi says hisbrother was informed shortly beforehe and Nereo entered the dressagering that their scheduled start at1.10pm would be delayed, somethinghe says is unheard of.
‘‘If a rider arrives a minute latefor their start time they’re auto-matically eliminated, so it didn’tmake sense to me delaying proceed-ings.
‘‘Andrew and Nereo would havebeen in the zone by then, totallyfocussed on the job at hand. As itwas, they would have been waitingaround in those conditions in therain, so why not compete?’’
John Nicholson has no doubtthat the delay would have put thehorse off stride and contributed totheir disappointing dressage score.
‘‘The decision was both diaboli-cal and heart-breaking for Andrew,’’he says.
It spoke volumes for the char-acter and determination of Nichol-son that he finished the four-daycompetition on his dressage score of45.
It was a super-tight showjumpingbattle between Britain and New
Zealand for silver and bronze inthe closing stages.
Mary King’s round withImperial Cavalier kept the hostnation’s hopes very much alive,but Nicholson and Nereomatched that with a classy fault-free effort for New Zealand.
However, when Nicholson’sfellow-countryman, Mark Todd,
collected seven faults withCampino and Britain’s TinaCook and Miners Frolic pickedup just a single time fault, thehost nation was assured of silverand the Kiwis of bronze.
Team Germany repeated their2008 Olympic medal-winning per-formance, claiming the eventingteam and individual gold.

Weight Loss Effort Gets Rewarded
Solo mum Evelyn Tamaki won the Body Buzz inspiration award when she lost 17 kg and raised money for her son to represent NZ. Her prize was a shopping spree at Shanton and a makeover courtesy of Lee Smith professional makeup artist.
“Before meeting Marty I didn’t know much about weight loss. I thought by eating less and exercising more I’d eventually get down to a nice weight so I joined a gym and ate less food. I trained hard and I would only eat one meal each day which was 4-6 pieces of toast. I was losing weight so I trained harder and longer thinking that if I worked twice as hard I would get twice the results.
Eventually I was working out every day for 2 hours at the gym and then I would sit in the sauna for another hour. Then, because I had seen some jockeys doing it, I would spend yet another hour in the spa trying to sweat off some more weight. Somehow I managed to stick to this gruelling schedule long enough to lose 30 kilograms. Eventually of course it all got too much for me and I started eating more and gaining weight again.
Sitting in the spa one day I heard someone talking about Body Buzz. Apparently there were these machines that made you lose weight? I thought “that just sounds weird” but I had to check it out because by now I had put on another 20 kilograms.
Marty gave me a free try on a machine which seemed ridiculously easy compared to what I was doing at the gym. I felt really good after the workout… as though I had been recharged. He gave me his weight loss DVD to watch at home. It made total sense to me and I could also see that I was over trained and under nourished. I liked the idea that I could eat myself into shape instead of constant starving.
He helped me design a nutrition plan and we could test the results in 14 days. Every morning I noticed my waist line shrinking and in 2 weeks it had shrunk by 30 cm. I had lost 6kg of fat as well… it was unbelievable but it also proved to me that what Marty had told me was true. What I thought was going to be hard to do, was actually easy and simple.
It’s been 2 years since that day and I have had a lot of ups and downs in between but now I have lost 17 kg of body fat and fi nally got control of my life. Thanks to Marty I have now developed a healthy lifestyle that is sensible and doable for good.
One of my problems was a food craving/addiction which kept getting the better of me until Marty used a special technique that fi xed the cravings in minutes. The neat thing about Body Buzz is you don’t have to be a member to get support. He helps people all over the world to get in shape through the Body Buzz website which is free. It doesn’t matter to him whether you walk for exercise, use the gym or do no exercise at all as he believes in ‘different courses for different horses’ He does individual nutrition plans for anyone who wants his help and support… anyone from Body Builders to Diabetics.
You can see my video testimonial at www.bodybuzz.co.nz” - Evelyn Tamaki
If you think you eat “healthy” but don’t have energy… you are starving… let me show you how to nourish yourself.
If your exercise excuse is “I don’t have time” or “It’s too hard”… let me show you how quick and easy it can really be.

DIRECTOR Michelle Boyde lends a hand to costume maker PaulineSmith (left) as she hems a dress for cast member Kylie Davidson.
BY CATHY ASPLIN
Three Te Awamutu College teachers aregetting a little bit ‘‘shook up’’.
Michelle Boyde, Pauline Smith and KylieDavidson have been working hard for weeksin preparation for Musikmakers’ new showwhich opens in Hamilton this weekend.
The light-hearted musical comedy AllShook Up features Elvis Presley songs and isloosely based on Shakespeare’s TwelfthNight.
Director Michelle Boyde says, ‘‘It’s Elvis— but not as you know it. This is Elvis onsteroids.
‘‘The show features 26 songs — all yourfavourites like Heartbreak Hotel, BurningLove, Hound Dog, Teddy Bear and of courseAll Shook Up are included.
‘‘The show is a combination of fantasticmusic, dancing and lots of laughs — it doesn’tmatter if you’re not really a theatre person,you will enjoy this show.’’
The musical in the Riverlea Theatre willcoincide with the 35th anniversary of thedeath of Elvis Presley in 1977. In fact if you’rean Elvis fan you’ll want to attend on August16 as a way of marking that date.
DIRECTING DEBUTMichelle Boyde is a special needs teacher,
HOD of the Centre of Excellence.She started in musical theatre as a school
pupil and as an adult has written and directednumerous school shows.
She has been involved with Musikmakersfor the past eight years and this is the firstshow she has directed.
WARDROBE MISTRESSTe Awamutu College fabric technology
teacher Pauline Smith is in charge of thewardrobe for All Shook Up.
She has made costumes for many shows inthe past and has designed and createdcostumes for three Te Awamutu Collegeproductions.
She has found it a great challenge toresearch the 1950’s so that she could createauthentic garments that still allow the cast todance energetically.
ON STAGETe Awamutu College English and drama
teacher Kylie Davidson is one of those castmembers.
She has danced for manyyears and been involved in showssince primary school.
She studied theatre at Vic-toria University and wasinvolved in the theatre scene inWellington for a few years beforeheading north to perform with

Wartime chapter closes
TC020812SP11A
TE AWAMUTU man Mike Claydon (right) meets Martin Pash in2010, the last survivor of the sinking of the Australian hospitalship Centaur.
The final chapter of a war-time tragedy hasended with the death in Melbourne of 89-year-old Martin Pash, the last survivor of the sinkingof the Australian hospital ship Centaur on May14, 1943.
He was one of the 64 people who survivedwhen the ship was sunk by a Japanesesubmarine off the coast of Brisbane.
Te Awamutu’s Mike Claydon lost his 18-year-old brother Jack on the Centaur — one of 268lives lost in the sinking.
Mr Pash and the other survivors clung towreckage and rafts for 36 hours before beingrescued.
Two years ago Mr Claydon and his two sonsMark and James were invited to visit the site ofthe sinking. A team of researchers had locatedand identified the wreck using a roboticsubmarine.
They were hosted aboard an Australianwarship.
Mr Claydon met Mr Pash on that trip toBrisbane and describes him as a real gentleman.
‘‘Let us hope he will be reunited with his oldshipmates.’’
Mr Pash was admitted to hospital after a falland subsequently died from a heart attack.
Fittingly the service for Mr Pash is to be heldtoday in the Anzac Memorial Chapel in theCentaur Wing of the Heidelberg RepatriationHospital.

He was impressed withthe expert care shereceived from New Zea-land doctors.
Photos of her remark-able recovery — of beforeand after the operationwere shown.
Mr Signal was aware ofthe International Rotary
programme of Interplastand decided he and wifeRebecca wanted to extendthis care and expertise toLautoka in Fiji.
The funds were raisedwith support from Rotaryclubs and a successfulapplication from theRotary Foundation which‘‘matches’’ donations withgrants. This coveredmedical supplies andtransport for a team ofsurgeons and specialistnurses who give a week oftheir time as volunteers.
During this time atLautoka Hospital theyperformed 29 operations,with 26 of those on chil-dren, gave 63
consultations andalso training to 29staff. Surgeons fromSydney, Melbourne,Auckland and Well-ington were mem-bers of the team.
Mr Signalshowed a series ofphotos of children’sdisfigurementbefore and improve-ment after theiroperations. Thesechildren can nowlive normally.
Costs for thiswork came to morethan $250,000 withsurgeons donatingat least $53,000
towards this from theirtime and expertise.
Interplast also goes toother islands that have asuitable hospital or clinic,so another 26 children willbenefit next year if fundsare raised. Already sixmedical experts havepledged their support fornext year.
Rotary president ChrisKay presented a chequefor $2500 from the BookFair and Garage Sale toMr Signal, to be puttowards Interplast fundsfor 2013.
Anyone wishing todonate toward either pro-ject is invited to contactMr Kay (872 7795).

LOCAL mum Sandie Fransen with her three sons: Mitchell (4),Josiah (2) and Caleb (3 months).
‘But it’s comfortingto know there is helpat hand if I need it.’SANDIE FRANSEN
Sandie Fransen has threesons who have all beenbreastfed.
But each has been verydifferent, so she has beengrateful for support from theLa Leche League.
‘‘I had a difficult time get-ting Mitchell to latch on, butmany first time mums experi-ence similar problems,’’ MrsFransen said.
‘‘Josiah had silent refluxand to be honest some days Ifelt like throwing him out thewindow.
‘‘But once we discoveredhe was sensitive to dairy I cutit out from my diet and he wasa different child.
‘‘It made an amazing dif-ference.’’
Caleb is 3 months old andthings are going well so far.
‘‘He has only had one cold,even with all the bugs thatare around this year. I thinkbreastfeeding is one reasonhe has been so healthy,’’ MrsFransen said.
‘‘But it’s comforting toknow there is help at hand if Ineed it. I can just ring aleader or talk with othermums at meetings.
‘‘We often share similar
issues and difficulties —being able to chat with othermums means you can find outif your situation is ‘normal’.
‘‘You also pick up littletricks and tips that makesbreastfeeding easier — oftenthey’re things that you don’tfind in books or online.
‘‘There’s so much informa-
tion around out there some-times you don’t know what tobelieve. That’s why I’m sograteful for the help providedthrough La Leche League.’’
■ Mrs Fransen will be one of themums taking part in the BigLatch On (see article) tomorrowat Churchills.

STEPHANIEGUDGEON
Stephanie Gudgeon is a newlyaccredited La LecheLeader for the Te Awa-mutu group.
She says she was aLa Leche baby herselfand she has been in theleague since she waspregnant with her eld-est daughter Heidi (nowfour and a half).
She has a seconddaughter Eden (2) andsays being part of theleague has beeninvaluable.
‘‘Breastfeeding is anatural part of life - butjust because it ’snatural, it isn’t alwayseasy!
‘‘Being part of La Leche hasmeant I had somewhere to go to askquestions and share my experi-ences.
‘‘I was welcomed by othermothers and could get up-to-datebreastfeeding information so that Icould make decisions.
‘‘That support has been reallyimportant to me - especially when Iwas a first time mum.
‘‘When that new babyis put in your arms yousuddenly realise thatyou have a ‘ginormous’responsibility and it canbe a bit daunting.
‘‘But I have learnedthat breastfeeding ismore than just provid-ing milk for your baby.
‘‘It’s also a beautifulway of developing yourmothering skills.
‘‘I totally believe‘breast is best’ and wantto provide help forothers to have success-ful experiences as well.’’
She says becoming aleader was a natural progressionfor her and she is delighted to besupporting other mothers.
‘‘La Leche League is really allabout mother-to-mother support.
‘‘I realise some mothers make ahuge effort to get to meetings - so tosee them leaving with a smile ontheir face is very rewarding.’’
Big Latch On tomorrowTe Awamutu mums and babies will
be celebrating World BreastfeedingWeek at Churchills tomorrow.
They will be joining thousands ofothers around the world for the ‘BigLatch On’, a synchronisedbreastfeeding event in multiple loca-tions at 10.30am.
The event was started in NewZealand in 2005 in an effort to increaseand normalise breastfeeding by
Women’s Health Action. Women’sHealth Action Trust’s Isis McKay saysbreastfeeding is a very normal part oflife and overwhelmingly positive formother and baby.
‘‘Breastfeeding in public can onlyhelp to make people more familiar andmore comfortable with breastfeedingas they see it become part of normaldaily public life. In most placesbreastfeeding in public is really okay!’’

HAMILTON Radiology CEO Philip Hassall addressing health professionals and guests at last week’sofficial opening of the new Te Awamutu service.
TC020812DT04
SONOGRAPHER Cornelia Deakins plays patient to colleague Angela Wilson as they demonstrate TeAwamutu’s new Philips Medical Systems iU22 ultrasound system.
Te Awamutu Medical Centrehosted a function for healthprofessionals and guests lastweek to officially launch a newservice offered by HamiltonRadiology.
Partner Dr Alison Gloverwelcomed guests and gave a briefhistory of the development ofmedical ultrasound beforehanding over to Hamilton Radi-ology CEO Philip Hassall toexplain the capabilities of themachine and its use.
The company has installed aniU22 ultrasound system fromPhilips Medical Systems intoits Te Awamutu X-Ray branchat the Te Awamutu MedicalCentre.
The system providesadvanced diagnostic imagingcapabilities with an intelligentsystem interface thatstreamlines ultrasound examsfor patients and clinicians.
Its powerful imaging capabili-ties support a variety of commonexams, including vascular, thy-roid , and pregnancyexaminations.
The technology al lowspatients to view the foetus andinternal organs as if they werebeing held in the hands.
‘ ‘Ultrasound imaging ishugely beneficial because it is arelatively low cost and non-invasive way to look inside thebody,’’ says Dr John Dumble,practice chairman.
‘‘With the new Philips sys-tem, we are acquiring anextremely high level of diagnos-tic information and can provideanswers for our patients morequickly and easily.
‘ ‘Plus, results from theultrasound examination oftenreduce the need for more invas-ive procedures.’’
In addition, Hamilton Radi-ology is linked by a PACS system
(Picture Archive Computer Sys-tem) which enables imagestaken in Te Awamutu to beviewed and reported by one of 11specialist radiologists based atthe Hamilton Anglesea ImagingCentre.
Local GPs can also havedirect access to all images andreports through a web-basedimage viewing system.
GPs can be viewing theimages and discussing the casewith the radiologists while theyare looking at the same images.
Because it can be used in themost delicate conditions withoutmajor side effects, ultrasoundhas become one of the mostpopular diagnostic methodsamong both patients anddoctors.
Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to pro-duce moving images of thebody’s internal soft tissuestructures.
It provides a safe, fast andrelatively painless means ofdiagnostic imaging on an out-patient basis.
Hamilton Radiology has beenproviding health care services tothe Waikato area for 80 years.
It says it is pleased to be ableto offer ‘‘this important improve-ment in healthcare’’ to itspatients and the Te Awamutuand wider community.
It will be so much more con-venient for both patients andclinicians, it says.
Hamilton Radiology expectsits pregnancy scans with the newmachine to be popular withpatients, who will be able to takehome a 3D picture of theirunborn baby.
Expectant parents will also besent a CD of all the imagescaptured by the Philips iU22, andother clients will also be able torequest copies of images.

Regular finalists inbattling comeback
TC110811CA01
FLASHBACK: Te Awamutu Marist celebrate defending their Waikatosecond division title last year.
After seven years of trying,perennial finalists Hamilton OldBoys finally won the Waikatosecond division rugby final atCastleton Park on Saturday.
Old Boys denied Te AwamutuMarist a three-peat in Waikatodivision two rugby — winning the2012 final 20-18.
It was the third time these twoevenly-matched teams had met thisseason.
They drew 20-20 on April 14,then Te Awamutu Marist won 21-17on July 16.
The final was played in front of alarge group of supporters from bothclubs.
Murray Gane Plumbing/Henrys-sponsored Te Awamutu Maristmade most of the play for the first65 minutes, and looked to be com-fortably in front with 15 minutes toplay.
To Old Boys’ credit, they fin-ished strongly with two tries inseven minutes, then defended as iftheir life depended on it for the lasteight minutes to take the win.
Marist opened the scoring withScott Sands’ penalties in the ninthand 17th minutes. They alwayslooked the more dangerous teamwith ball in hand but were guilty ofnot being accurate enough, costingthem several scoring opportunities.
Old Boys hit back with a tryafter 28 minutes for a 6-5 scoreline.
A slick Marist backline movewas finished off by Ben Gisler witha try in the corner, taking hisseason tally of points to 156.
Marist led 11-5 at the break.
Old Boys scored first in thesecond half with a long rangepenalty after 10 minutes to close thegap to 11-8.
Marist worked a slick blindsidemove for young winger KellyStirling Smith to score a convertedtry.
The home team led 18-8 with 15minutes to play but struggled to gettheir hands on the ball for the next10 minutes.
Old Boys turned the pressureinto points, scoring two tries toclinch a two point victory and thechampionship.
Te Awamutu Marist can hold
their heads high after making thefinal for the fourth time in fiveyears.
Under the astute coaching ofTony Kahura and his ableassistants, they have achievedtheir main aim of first divisionstatus for 2013 with a season recordof played 19, won 16, drawn 1, lost 2.
Henderson says the players arelooking forward to the challenge infront of them. ‘‘They hope to make abig impression in division one nextseason.’’
Marist would like to thank themany local businesses whosponsored them this season.
Teams striving for top spot
TC020812CA04
TE AWAMUTU College second fifteen player Jordan Gay stretches for theball against Hamilton Boys’ High 5 in division four. Te Awamutu iscurrently top of the table, with HBH5 just one point behind.
BY CATHY ASPLIN
Te Awamutu College’s top twoteams have crucial matches thisweekend in their last round robingames of the Waikato SecondarySchool Rugby competition.
The 1st XV had been the frontrunner in division two for much ofthe round, stringing together sevenconsecutive wins.
But a narrow loss to HamiltonBoys’ High 3 in round eight (6-15)compounded by an even closer losslast week against Hillcrest (20-22) hasseen them slip down to third on thetable.
Hillcrest and HBH3 are jointleaders with 36 points, Te Awamutuis two points behind on 34.
While they are guaranteed a spotin the top four playoffs, their chanceto have home advantage throughoutthe finals series is probably gone.
The only faint hope would be thatHillcrest and HBH3 draw their matchon Saturday (gaining two competi-tion points each) and Te Awamutucan post a four try win againstbottom of the table Taumarunui.
Coach Bob Moorhead says histeam has played outstandingly wellto get to this stage of the competitionand they are building nicely for thesemi-finals.
‘‘Every game is important at thisstage of the season and we are aimingfor a four-try win on Saturday.
‘‘If we finish second on the tablewe will have a home semi.’’
SECOND FIFTEENTe Awamutu College second fif-
teen has also recorded seven wins,with two very narrow losses (onepoint against HBH5 and three pointsagainst Matamata).
The team has gained momentumthroughout the round, winning theirlast six games on the trot.
Te Awamutu currently leads thepoints table with 36, just one ahead ofHBH5.
HBH5 meets third placed Cam-bridge on Saturday.
The 2nd XV meets Huntly, whocurrently sits second to bottom on thetable.
But coaches John Gibson and
Andy Baker aren’t taking anythingfor granted.
‘‘As long as we play our game andkeep our focus we will be fine.
‘‘Huntly brings a real physicalityto the game, so we need to be smart inwhat we do.’’
■ All Te Awamutu College teams playat home on Saturday: 1st XV vsTaumarunui (11am), 2nd XV vs Huntly(10.40am), U16 vs St Paul’s Black(9.40am), U15 vs HBH14A (9.30am), U14vs Tokoroa (10.40am), U55kg vs HBHRed (9.30am).

Crucial match forunbeaten Stags
TC020812CT03
FLASHBACK: Ricardo Lord in possession for the Stags, with Chris Cliffe(right) in support in last year’s final against Hinuera.
Defending Waikato third divisionrugby champions Te AwamutuStags are fashioning another envi-able record in 2012 competition.
The Chris Bowman coachedQubik Stags remain unbeaten,having won all 17 games so far thisseason, scoring 686 points, whileconceding 169.
They qualified top seeds for the‘‘top eight’’ competition with 12straight wins.
Wins in the ‘‘top eight’’ competi-tion have been recorded overWhatawhata 38-22, Jaradites 49-14,Waitete 28-14, Melville 45-40 andHuntly 46-0.
Arguably their toughest oppon-ent to date was Ohaupo, a side theyscrambled to a 5-0 victory over inround 11 on July 16. These two teamsagain meet in the penultimate roundof the season at Albert Park thisSaturday.
Bowman says the Ohaupo game isa ‘‘must win’’ for their side — a losswould open the door for Melville togo on and win the championship.
The Stags complete their seasonwith an away game against North-ern at Tahuna on August 11.
Coach Bowman’s son Tom camefrom England to play for the Stagsthis season. The halfback isproving a big asset for the team.
It took Te Awamutu Stags onlytwo years to become Waikato thirddivision champions in 2011.
They beat Hinuera 21-19 in lastseason’s final at Albert Park.
It was Te Awamutu Sports’ thirdWaikato championship in recentyears, following in the footsteps ofthe triumphant U85kg teamcoached by Robin Ray and cham-pion U19 side of 2006 coached byWayne Wirihana and MarkFleming.

History is in the making at Waikato Stadium on Saturday night when the Chiefs tackle the Sharks in the Investec Super XV Rugby fi nal.
Neither of the fi nalists have previously won the championship.
The Chiefs beat the Crusaders 20-17 in an intense, epic semi-fi nal battle at Waikato Stadium on Friday night to earn a home fi nal.
The Sharks held off a dramatic late comeback by the top seeded Stormers to defeat their South African counterparts 26-19 in the other semi-fi nal.
This weekend’s enormous occasion will be the fi rst time the Chiefs have ever hosted a Super Rugby fi nal and fans are encouraged to become a part of history.
It was clear from the start of the match against the Crusaders that the Chiefs were up for the challenge.
“The boys got stuck into their work right from the fi rst whistle, setting the tone for the match,” fi rst fi ve Aaron Cruden told the Courier.
“To hear the fi nal whistle and look up on the scoreboard to see we had won was pretty exciting.”
The Chiefs are odds-on favourites to win the fi nal against a Sharks side that will have travelled 45,000km over the past fortnight.
Fans are encouraged to get tickets early for the fi nal match and get to the game early on Saturday. Gates open at 5.50pm.Four free buses will be running to Waikato Stadium. The fi rst two will start at 6pm and run every 15 minutes, from Hood St where they will drop fans off outside Domino’s on Mill St. Two more buses will start running at 6.30pm. A map of the route can be found on the Waikato Stadium website along with all entry conditions - www.waikatostadium.

‘‘I went off to race theRomaniacs Extreme Enduro inRomania earlier this seasontoo and finished 15th overallamong all the professionals. Iwas the oldest one out there.’’
Archer is now looking atteaming up with a group offriends to tackle the big annualBaja cross-country race in theMexican desert in November.
