YOUR LETTERS

Just a stone’s throw away?I would like to congratulate

the citizens of Te Awamutu onthe lovely new streets they aregetting.

I have little to no idea whatwas wrong with the old ones,but it must be lovely seeingyour (and our) ratescontributions hard at work.

Meanwhile those of us justout of town continue to bepelted with rocks and have ourschool kids learn how to play‘dodge the fallout from thespeeding tanker truck’, as ourstreets have not even beenpaved yet!

Why on earth the final 1km

stretch of Grove Road continuesto be something out of the darkages when money is being spenton re-doing so many areas thatare already much better offbaffles me beyond belief.

I cannot even get anyone atthe Council to discuss the mat-ter.

So again, I congratulate youon the upgrade and hope youenjoy it for years to come. Iknow with elections approach-ing that I will be choosingcarefully (that is if any of thecandidates even mentionsroads outside of the towns).

STUART PRYKE

By George, that man recognises qualityIt was a surprise to see

George Turner’s kind wordsabout me published undersmall headlines compared withthose you give Mr Livingstonand Mr Lee.

The quality of the wordscannot be ignored however.

I do not recall there everbefore being such nice things

said about the current Mayor orany of his competition in thepast in your pages.

I was left with the faint hopethat there might be others whohave been reading and listeningand are in agreement with MrTurner, friends who I don’tknow.

I would certainly hope that

others might think of the law-yer ‘hat’ as simply one smallpart of what I am about.

It is really just another wayof me trying to say that I have asentiment for the under-dogand I am partially educated andprepared to stand up and fightfor the truth.

I have many other interests

and abilities that could beregarded as eccentric, howeverthey have a purpose which islikely to be used to good advan-tage to promote this district andits people.

You will see those over thecoming months.

JAMES PARLANEAbridged

Hats off toall for topproject

I would also, on behalf of myfellow Te Awamutu Ward coun-cillors, thank the retailers andbusinesses of Alexandra Streetfor their forbearance and toler-ance through a difficult time.

Magnum a giant softiefor rest home residents

TC250510CP01JUDY MCRAE of Canine Friends with Leonberger, Magnum.

BY CEANA PRIEST

More canine friends required for visiting

Judy McRae’s dog is like a lioncrossed with a Saint Bernard,although for Te Awamutu resthome residents he’s all drool.

‘‘Magnum is 70 kilograms andnormally the first thing people saywhen they meet him is ‘Look at thesize of him!’ but once they look intohis eyes, stroke his fur they openup to him and relax,’’ Mrs McRaesays.

Magnum has been visiting resthomes since March as part of thenationwide organisation CanineFriends and because the visits areso popular Mrs McRae is lookingfor more local volunteers to helpout.

‘‘I see the benefits it gives and Ithink it’s great my dog can bringsuch happiness to others. Forelderly it’s amazing, the conversa-tion starts flowing and they arereaching out and touching him.’’

Mrs McRae originally taughtthe Cambridge Dog ObedienceClub in Te Awamutu and is nowaccredited to assess dogs in theregion for the Canine Friendsorganisation.

‘‘All dog breeds are welcome.They just need to be a steady goodnatured dog who loves cuddles andscratches. You can volunteer froman hour a week, or whenever suits.There is such a demand out therein the community.’’

As a puppy Magnum used to fit

into Mrs McRae’s hand, but nowtwo years later the Leonbergerneeds a step to get into her 4WD.

‘‘A normal walk at a fair takesthree times as long. People arefascinated by him,’’ says JeffMcRae. ‘‘He’s just a gentle giant.’’

The Canine Friend organisa-tion is a nationwide network ofpeople who share their dogs withpatients in hospitals and residentsin rest homes and hospices.

‘‘I’d like to get some many moredogs involved,’’ Mrs McRae said.

‘‘Once you see people focus onMagnum and their eyes light up,it’s such a joy to watch.’’

Farm subdivision rules amongpossible District Plan changesSubdivision requirements in the spotlight

Waipa District Council is con-sidering tightening the rulesaround allowing small retire-ment lots to be divided fromfarms.

The changes are being consid-ered as part of a review of theDistrict Plan.

The plan is a set of rules andguidelines which help the Coun-cil better manage growth anddevelopment in Waipa District.

The existing District Plan isbeing reviewed to ensure it meetsthe changing needs of the Dis-trict.

Council staff have developed aseries of information sheetshighlighting a number of pro-posals being considered.

They include reviewing sub-division and title amalgamationrules as well as increasing the

amount of time required forsomeone to own a farm before itcan be subdivided.

Manager – strategy, GaryKnighton says the review raises anumber of issues which he hopeswill generate community debate,including:• Increasing the minimum areathat can be subdivided from anexisting farm from 25 hectares to40 hectares to allow for better useof land.• Putting an end to ad hoc resi-dential developments by moreactively managing when andwhere growth can occur. Thiswill enable Council to better planfor expensive infrastructure likewater and roads.• Putting in place rules to ensuretown centres remain the retailand office hubs.

• Allowing apartment-style hous-ing to be built in some areas.• Increasing the minimum sec-tion size to 600 square metresfrom 400 square metres. This willimpact on whether or not somesections can be subdivided.

Mr Knighton says the pro-posals have been developed fol-lowing feedback from a range ofindividuals and groups but that“nothing is set in stone”.

“We are still very much in aconsultation stage and we’reactively seeking the views ofpeople in the district,” he says.

Information sheets coveringthese and other issues are avail-able from Council offices andlibraries and from the websitewww.waipa2050.co.nz.

Council staff will be takingfeedback until June 15.

BY CATHY ASPLIN

If you want to buy the best steakavailable at a retail outlet - head toMagills Meats.

That’s the word from ownerMike van der Hoeven after pickingup the Best of Brand (Retail) classaward in this year’s ‘Steak ofOrigin’ competition.

Mr van der Hoeven also pickedup a second placing (behind thesupreme award winner) in the Bestof Crossbreed section with a Here-ford/Wagyu steak.

The Steak of Origin challengeaims to find the most tender,tastiest sirloin steak in New Zea-land.

Mr van der Hoeven says havingcattle finished in the paddock is

essential.‘‘You don’t want them too lean

or too fat. They just need to havebeen going forward at a good ratethroughout to have a tender endproduct.

‘‘We’re lucky to have experi-enced agents who select good stockfor us. Since the awards wereannounced we’ve already been get-ting calls from restaurants wantingour product.’’

The Steak of Origin competitionis open to beef farmers, retailers,wholesalers and food servicesthroughout New Zealand.

The NZ Beef & Lamb challengehas been running for over eightyears, but Magills has only enteredfor the past five. During thoseyears it has won three awards for

its Hereford Prime steak.The competition process

involves an initial assessment —each steak is aged for three weeksbefore being tested for tenderness,pH and percentage cooking loss.

The most tender steaks makethe semi-final and are cooked andtasted by a panel of judges inChristchurch.

This year judges were BMXWorld Champion Sarah Walker, ex-All Black Richard Loe, JamieMackay of Radio Sport and topchefs Hester Guy and GrahamHawkes.

The supreme winner was aLimousin/Angus steak fromWhangarei which beat off 400entries to be named the nation’stastiest steak.

BY GRANT JOHNSTON

Arohena Primary Schoolpupils made some amazing pump-kin creations for their annualcompetition.

The pumpkins, while impress-ive enough, did not reach the sizeof the previous year due to lessfavourable growing conditionsand seed issues, but the creativityof pupils in the other sections ofthe competition was outstanding.

Judges Ruth Cunningham,Dudley Cunningham and VicSmart from Kihikihi Rotary Clubwere highly impressed by theeffort put in by the pupils.

They found it hard to separatethe placegetters in many of thesections.

Seven-year-old Daniel Morriswon best decorated in the middleclasses with his heli-pad, whichutilised batteries, the piston fromhis dad’s old motorbike (as asupport prop only) and straws asthe propeller which spun merrilyabove his pumpkin and turnedthe heads of fellow pupils, par-ents, teachers and the judges.

Kihikihi Rotarians involve-ment came about because of theirconnection to the school throughthe annual ‘Spud in a bucket’competition. They enjoyed ashared morning tea with theschool.

‘‘We were delighted to be askedto judge the competition andextremely impressed with thechildren’s efforts,’’ says presi-dent, Ruth Cunningham. Shehanded out prizes, which weresponsored by Rickits Mitre 10.

Finalising promotion ideas forWorld Rowing Championships

TC250510SP10THIS BILLBOARD, on the way to Mystery Creek, aims to capture the attention of visitorsattending National Fieldays in June and promote the World Rowing Championships.

Regional working group settling on use of fundsAs excitement builds

towards the World RowingChampionships, groups arebeing reminded that money hasbeen set aside to help WaipaDistrict gain maximum benefitfrom the event.

In this year’s Annual Plan,Waipa District Council is allo-cating up to $50,000 to help theDistrict maximise benefit fromthe championships which areset to attract 700 athletes frommore than 50 countries.

Almost 600 volunteers willbe involved in what is beingbilled as the largest sportingevent to be staged in NewZealand since the 1990 Com-monwealth Games.

Council has been facilitatinga regional working group tohelp ensure promotional effortsacross the district are co-ordinated.

The group has representa-tion from the Te Awamutu andCambridge Chambers of Com-merce, local i-sites, regionaltourism interests, HamiltonCity Council and the worldrowing championships organis-ing committee.

Waipa District Councildeputy chief executive, RossMcNeil says it is getting “closeto crunch time” to determinehow the $50,000 would be spent.

‘‘It is not a huge amount, butCouncil has competingpriorities for the limitedresources it has available.’’Council has not given anydirect funding to K2010 (worldrowing) to host the event, hesays, but has made theupgraded Lake Karapiro facili-

ties available for use.Through the regional work-

ing group, a number of ideashave been put forward, allaimed at making as much mile-age as possible from the cham-pionships.

Any further ideas should bediscussed with working groupmembers to ensure a co-ordinated approach, Mr McNeil

says.‘ ‘Un-co-ordinated

approaches to Council arebeing discouraged.’’

Ideas need to be with theregional working group byJune 7 so decisions can be madesoon after.

Ideas can be directed to locali-sites and Chambers of Com-merce.

Council will be adjusting itsnormal work programmes,including garden planting andstreet maintenance, so that thedistrict is dressed in its ‘Sundaybest’ during the champion-ships.

The World Rowing Cham-pionships are being held fromOctober 31-November 7 at LakeKarapiro.

Most of us were taught that horizontal stripes visually widen whatever they’re against and because of this many women avoid wearing them. If you have a large bust, wide waist or full hips, horizontal stripes will make them look larger, wider and fuller; or will they? Not all horizontal stripes visually increase your apparent size; they can also be very slimming.

When a stripe of colour is placed horizontally on a garment the eye moves from side to side across the body, and this is where we get added width. However if you opt for a garment that has multiple stripes close together and reasonably narrow in width, the eye will be forced to run up and down the body, rather than sideways. This gives the illusion of length, not width, and length slims. So use narrow, multiple stripes to give you slimming power.

One horizontal stripe alone will give width, as will multiple wide stripes and these are great for balancing body shapes. If you have narrow shoulders, a small bust or proportionately smaller hips, adding a horizontal line or two over this area will make them look larger, so they’re great used in this way for giving visual balance to those areas that need width.

Fabric also needs to be considered when wearing stripes. If a stripe is in a stretch fabric and you place it over a curve it will distort as it clings and follows the line of the body accentuating the curve. Choose stripes in fabrics that fall and hang softly on the body.

So while the horizontal stripes fattening reputation is not completely unjust, you can wear this trend successfully and very much to your advantage if you choose your stripes wisely and work with your body shape.

Community health transportproject progressing steadily

Lif

People who visit Camellia Rest-home are impressed by the ‘home-liness and friendly family atmos-phere’.

Owner Glenn Ripley says consist-ently high standards and the wonder-ful staff are responsible for that.

“We pride ourselves on a standard of care that is second to none.”

Activities co-ordinator Sue Sander says an activity plan is prepared for all residents to cater for their indi-vidual needs, taking the residents background and outside interests into account.

“We want the residents to feel that this is their home away from home. Sometimes this can be diffi cult when you have many residents with differ-ent needs, personalities and ideas.

“The majority of the residents feel

it is their home, they respect one another’s privacy, but also enjoy the social contact around the different activity times and outings. Friend-ships are made from within the home between residents.”

Families are also made to feel as part of the home environment. A regular newsletter for families and residents helps them keep in touch with activities and changes within the resthome.

“We also endeavour to make sure that each new resident can continue with their groups or clubs that they are already involved in.”

Camellia runs a number of in-house programmes - games, quiz sessions, music, bowls and art classes. Regu-lar visitors to the resthome include entertainers, ministers, ‘friends of

Camellia’ and Pets for Love.Camellia Resthome residents take

part in an interhouse resthome bowls competition and look forward to the annual resthome games.

Regular outings to shows and com-munity events are organised. Special occasions are always celebrated and shared with the residents and family.

When residents prefer to have some time to themselves they can retreat with a book to the ‘quiet lounge’, watch TV or spend time on their hobbies.

Camellia have a highly motivated gardening group that have trans-formed an overgrown garden into a wonderful combination of fl owers, herbs and vegetables. The group are currently working on establishing a small citrus orchard.

A vision to provide a community-based shuttle to transport people to health appointments in Hamilton has moved a step closer.

The Te Awamutu Community Health Transport Trust was initiated following a public meeting last year.

Currently several groups such as RSA, Te Awamutu Home Support and Cancer Support make as many as 800 trips per year to Hamilton to transport people for medical appoint-ments.

So a project to provide a voluntary

service was suggested late last year and resulting charitable trust being set up to administer the project is currently investigating a suitable ve-hicle for the service.

Spokesperson Katherine O’Regan says initially it was thought a seven-seater van would be suitable, butthey have since revised that plan.

“Following advice from the RSA we are now looking at a 12-seater transit van. They feel certain we could fi ll it on a regular basis.”

Setting up the trust has taken

some time and at the next meeting more work will be carried out on set-ting up the service.

Mrs O’Regan says the CAB has kindly offered to take calls from peo-ple wishing to use the service once it is established.

However, around $80,000 is re-quired to purchase the van and set up the service, so any support or fi nancial assistance would be wel-comed. Contact Mrs O’Regan (ph 871 8308) for further information or offers of assistance.

Showtym Viking conquersPony of Year has Te Awamutu connection

TC250510SP14BTARNIA MORRIS and BMW Fjola finished fourth in the just completed national Amateur Rider Series.

TC250510SP14AAMANDA WILSON and Showtym Viking.

BY COLIN THORSEN

No one is prouder of this year’s Farmlands Ponyof the Year ‘Showtym Viking’ than Te Awamuturider Tarnia Morris.

Amanda Wilson (Hikurangi) and ShowtymViking jumped clear and fast to win Pony of Year atthe Kelt Capital Horse of the Year Show in Hastings.

Morris had broken-in/ridden and competedsome of Viking’s brothers and sister. She had alsohandled Viking from birth to a two-year-old beforemoving to the Waikato.

Morris recalls nearly losing him, as a yearling,after coming back from a long weekend at theNational Young Horse Jumping Championships atTaupo with a team of horses.

‘‘When I checked the horses on dark, I noticedsomething wasn’t right with the young, colouredgelding.

‘‘He had staked himself where the girth would go— you could put your fist into the hole.’’

Morris says a local vet came and stitched him upbeautifully.

Showtym Viking then became ‘naughty’ after allthe needles.

‘‘I was told by the vet he was dangerous andshould be put down.

‘‘I was having none of it and continued his carewhen no-one else could.’’

Just prior to the Wilsons purchasing ShowtymViking last winter, Morris rode him for breederPhilippa Izard-Price.

They were having problems with him jumping.Morris sorted the problem out and he has not

looked back since.‘‘We decided that he wasn’t the horse for

Philippa and I advised her that he would make anawesome pony.’’

There was never a truer word spoken — the

combination of Wilson’s great riding ability and eyefor a stride has seen Showtym Viking advance inleaps and bounds.

Plenty of run on this course

TC250510SP16GETTING READY: Nathan Kelly and Megan Bethell measure out the6km fun run/walk course at ASB Te Awamutu Golf Club.

BY COLIN THORSEN

Te Awamutu Athletic Club isstaging a new, exciting and totallyunique challenge — the Paper PlusGolf Course Fun Run & Walk.

Entries are being taken for theinaugural event over TeAwamutu’s magnificent 18 holegolf course, renowned for its treelined fairways and premiumgreens, on Monday, June 7(Queen’s Birthday Weekend).

All ages and abilities are beingcatered for.

There is a 3.3km event forschool aged children, a 6km walk/run open to everyone, and a 12kmrun solely for adults.

The gently rolling contouredgolf course is easy running/walk-ing.

Event organiser, Murray Greensays he is not aware of any otherrunning event over a golf course.

‘‘It’s unique, the runners/walkers will follow the golf coursefrom holes one to 18, just as a golferwould walk it.

‘‘The ASB Te Awamutu GolfClub management have been verysupportive.’’

Green is hoping to get between200 and 500 runners and walkersenter the inaugural Paper PlusGolf Course Fun Run & Walk.

Racing starts at 9am with theprizegiving scheduled for 11am.Barbecue sausages, hamburgersand refreshments will be avail-able.

Entries forms are availablefrom Paper Plus, Robert Harrisand Masons Garden Centre, oronline www.sportsground.co.nz/teawamutuathletis

For further details see advert inclassified section of today’s Cour-ier or contact Murray Green 0276216608.

The event is being staged toestablish a travel fund to helpoffset costs for Te Awamutuathletes representing their club,

Waikato and New Zealand.Last year Te Awamutu Athletic

Club had five 12-13 year olds(Cassie Lucas, Megan Bethell,Nikau Martell-Cassidy, SchicaylaScholes-Daysh) make the Waikatointerprovincial team, costing eachfamily between $400 and $500.

The Waikato senior team toWellington last year included fourTe Awamutu athletes, Phil Simms,Katherine Camp, Laura Sinclairand Jenna Hanson.

Camp represented New Zealandtwice in Australia in 2009.

This year Bethell and club-mateSeton Mason represented Waikatoat the national interprovincialchampionships in Invercargill,while Simms and Camp travelledto Christchurch for the national

championships, and Australia forthe Oceania championships.

Green says the club has ‘tried tosubsidise’ athletes in the past fromits own coffers.

‘‘Our club account is fairlymodest, hence a cash injection wasneeded to subsidise the everincreasing number of Te Awamutuathletes making their mark fromregional to international level.

‘‘If we don’t help these familiesout, it becomes too big a financialload on them and they are forced todecide which events they canafford to attend.’’

Club coaches Neal Webb andGreen also attend these events atconsiderable cost, along withregional and nationalappointments home and abroad.

Lean pickingsfor localkickboxers

CFPPHANTOM kickboxer Sam Rist produces muchimproved performance despite losing in Te Kuiti.

Sam Rist, still smarting from losing his last fightin Tauranga for a regional title, was beaten onpoints by Pete Tata at the ‘War in Waitomo’tournament in Te Kuiti.

Tata was part of the New Zealand squad inEngland two years ago, but has had a run of badluck.

Rist’s statistics were better on paper, but hisopponent had the greater experience.

The fight was a hard fought three rounds withTata determined to put his record back in the black.

‘‘I though Sam fought the best fight of his careerto date, looking comfortable in the ring when underpressure, which is something I’ve been waiting for,’’says coach Rick Dobson.

‘‘This now gives me the confidence that Sam canthink while under attack.’’

Fellow Phanthom kickboxer Matt Galbraithfound life much tougher up in the cruiser weightwhen confronting Joseph Ngarimu

The referee stopped the fight on a technicalknockout in the sixth of seven rounds afterNgarimu had put Galbraith down for a third, eightcount.

The much shorter Galbraith, who also conceded7kg to his opponent, will now drop back to hisnatural light heavyweight.

‘‘Ngarimu is a crafty fighter and, being muchstronger, was coming forward all the time,’’ saysDobson.

‘‘I thought my fellow was right in it until thesixth round, it must have been pretty close onpoints.

‘‘But just as Ngarimu was looking tired, he musthave decided to utilise all his strength, catchingMatt with a flurry of hands which sent himstumbling to the ground.’’

Dobson says Galbraith has the heart of a lion andtook the fight to his opponent at every opportunity.

‘‘Ngarimu was a good fighter and he had come towin, we had done what we could but the weight andheight was a major factor.

‘‘Thinking and watching the fight back, there’sthings we can do to prepare for a similar fight again,but I want Matt to fight at his correct weight nexttime, I’d like one more fight then put him up for thelight heavyweight title.

‘‘I’ve already had the national team coach on thephone discussing Matt’s inclusion in the 2011international team to fight in Macedonia next yearat the World kickboxing championships.’’

Galbraith’s two previous fights had beencrackers.

He KO’d his opponent with a spinning backfist atthe Boys Day Out show at Mystery creek, and dealtto an Irishman with 90-plus boxing fights under hisbelt, knocking him through the ropes with a leftkick.

First of four Te Awamutu Phantom fighters onthe card at Te Kuiti was Colleen Vickers up againstanother junior (16 years) from Orewa, RishonHarris.

Dobson says Vickers ‘did good’ but got stoppedafter some hard hits to the body in round two.

The referee stopped the fight to save any furtherinjuries.

Next up was Isaac Fynn fighting Mark Jacobsfrom Hamilton.

This was a scorcher of a fight, with Jacobs goingfull on at his opponent, but the pre-fight strategiespaid off with a points win for Fynn.

Sports Waipa Cup winners

TC250510CT04COUP DE GRACE: Lock Chris Middleton caps an outstandingteam effort by Te Awamutu Sports with his second try betweenthe posts right on fulltime.

Ecolab Te Awamutu Sportsregained the Waipa Cup for thefirst time since 2006 withanother classy 37-22 victoryover Hautapu in Waikatopremier rugby.

Coach Martyn Steffert wasunderstandably stoked that histeam had played so well, especi-ally in the first half, of the‘Battle of Waipa’ in Cambridgeon Saturday.

‘‘Now that we’ve got thetrophy we want to hold on to itnext round when we playHautapu again.’’

Steffert says his team knewHautapu were always going tocome out and throw the ballaround in the second half whentrailing by 22 points.

‘‘They’re a very good sideand put us under the pump for20 minutes.

‘‘I’m rapt that we were ableto withstand the pressure andcome back strongly in theclosing stages.’’

Steffert felt that lock ChrisMiddleton’s charge down toscore after Hautapu had hitback with two early second halftries happened at just the righttime.

Peter Bain reports that thegame started at a hectic pacewith both teams attacking atevery opportunity.

Sports’ wing Inoke Tuibuabroke several tackles and quickball from the ruck found loosieJono Armstrong unmarked outwide to open the scoring.

The visitors kept applyingthe pressure with clever kicksand good chasing deep intoHautapu’s half.

Second-five Leon Emeryadded a penalty and flankerCohen Masson went over in thecorner after Sports had movedHautapu from one side of thefield to the other. Emery addedthe conversion for a 15-0scoreline.

Right on halftime, Sports’forwards drove up the middle

and, from a series of pick andgoes, prop Kieran Ramage tookthe final pass to score handy to

the posts.Emery again converted to

give Sports a 22-0 lead after a

very impressive 40 minutes.The home team caught

Sports napping early in thesecond half as Hautapu uppedthe pace to get back in the game,scoring a try after two minutes.

Hautapu ran the ball fromeverywhere, forcing Sports todo a lot of defending.

The constant attack paid offwith another unconverted try.

Sports got back into thescoring action from the restart.

Lock Chris Middleton racedup to charge down a clearingkick, gathered the loose balland scored the first of his twotries to restore his team’s 17point lead, 27-10.

The last 20 minutes saw playsee-sawing from end to end.

Hautapu came roaring backwith a brace of tries and Emerylanded a penalty for Sports for a30-22 scoreline.

The home team thenattempted to run it from theirown goal-line in their quest fora second bonus point, only tosee Middleton again race up onthe defence, intercept the passand score under the posts tocomplete the scoring in apulsating game.

Middleton, fellow lockDaniel Gujer and No. 8 DannyO’Connor all had outstandinggames, dominating the line-outs.

Prop Kieran Ramage alsoput in a huge effort, featuringmany times on attack and wasrock solid at scrum time.

In the mid-field, Leon Emeryand newcomer Jordan Davies(from England) worked hardtogether up against a muchlarger pair of opponents inKeith Lowen and Ray Stowe.

Bain says that Te AwamutuSports players were pleased tosee so many supporters makethe trip to Cambridge, and hopeto see the same when theytackle Melville at Albert Park,Te Awamutu in the last game ofthe round.

Top referee gives Sports thumbs upBY COLIN THORSEN

Te Awamutu Sports won many friendswith their expansive, winning style ofrugby at Cambridge on Saturday.

One of the Hautapu supporters went asfar as rating this year’s Ecolab Senior Ateam potentially the best side to come outof Te Awamutu for many a year.

Retired whistler John Mead knows agood team when he sees one — he refereed30 years at senior club level (including 10years in the Waikato) and 11 years on theprovincial scene, becoming North HarbourNo. 1 for four and a half years.

‘‘This year’s Waikato premier competi-tion looks very even, any number of teamscould win the championship,’’ Mead toldthe Courier.

‘‘Te Awamutu Sports look champion-ship material, they are a much improvedteam.

‘‘They have got a game plan and executeit well.’’

Mead is particularly impressed by half-back Luke Parsons.

‘‘Luke is directing play very well.‘‘He’s got a real snappy pass which gives

his backline more room each time and hisoutsides are using it to good effect.’’

It took another high class performancefrom the Martyn Steffert-coached Te Awa-mutu Sports side to beat a star-studdedHautapu outfit.

The Hautapu forward pack includedlast year’s Waikato NPC lock Kent Fife andflanker Jordan Smiler, 2009 NorthlandNPC No. 8 Jamie McQueen, Waikato

training squad prop Taipa Tomlinson andformer Waikato age group representativelock Nic Pursell.

Their backline included ex All Blackand Waikato NPC second five KeithLowen, Waikato B representative first fiveJosh Blue and centre Ray Stowe, and lastyear’s New Zealand Secondary Schools’halfback Papa Wharewara.

Three players from Te AwamutuSports, lock Chris Middleton, No. 8 DannyO’Connor and flanker Jono Armstrongfeatured in the Waikato NPC Developmentteam’s impressive showing against Kanto(Japan) at Waikato Stadium on May 12.

A continuation of the current sublimeform could well see further Te AwamutuSports players don the red, yellow andblack jersey in 2010.
