Vicious attack decimates fl ock By Cathy Asplin
In his 50 years farming Pierre Fladgate has never seen any-thing as vicious as the dog attack on his sheep last week.
“The ones that were killed had their backs ripped off, eyes pulled out and faces mauled - others had lumps of wool and skin pulled off, with deep teeth marks and wounds all over their bodies.
“Those that survived were so badly stressed that they will probably die or abort their lambs.”
Mr Fladgate had been away from his Kihikihi Road farm on Thursday afternoon from about 2pm.
When he arrived home around 5pm he realised something was drastically wrong.
“I decided to head out to see if any more sheep had lambed while I was away.
“I could see several of them huddled together, which was the fi rst warning sign. As I got closer I could see they had wool and skin hanging off and they were covered in dirt and blood.
“I looked down the hill and there were several more dead in the drain.
“When I got there it was obvi-ous they had been chased into the drain, then the dogs had jumped on top of them to attack.
“Most of the sheep had prob-ably drowned.”
Of the 30 in the mob of Dorper sheep imported from Australia, eight were killed initially, three more died later and a further three needed to be put down as their wounds were so deep.
Many could not stand up and others were likely to succumb to blood poisoning as a result of their wounds.
Two of the sheep killed had actually been sold for $500 each, so as well as being a distressing incident, the dogs wiped out at least $7000 worth of stock.
REPEAT OFFENDERSNot content with that, however,
the dogs returned early on Satur-day morning.
This time they also began at-tacking some rams that were being prepared for sale.
Fortunately Mr Fladgate was able to get a clear view of the dogs, although he was unable to stop their initial attack.
“They had started taking chunks out of one of the rams and they ran a second one into the fence line.
“They showed how vicious they are, with the larger dark mastiff-type dog trying to attack their throats and the smaller, lighter coloured dog attacking their hamstrings.
“When I went out onto the farm they ran off over the hill back to-wards the Intermediate School.
“Hopefully someone will have seen these dogs or will know where they come from.”
Mr Fladgate says he has never had problems with dogs before, despite living so close to town.
“We have the occasional dog scavenging on the property, but it hasn’t really been an issue before.
“We really need to stop these dogs, before they attack again.”
Anyone able to provide any information about possible sightings or if they may know where the dogs come from should contact Animal Control Offi cer David Lee (via Waipa District Council, ph 872 0030) or call Te Awamutu Police (ph 872 0100).

Craft Fair bigger, better than ever
Pirongia’s main street is always trans-formed on the annual craft day, but on Satur-day it was more like Auckland’s Queen Street in terms of pedestrian traffi c.
A beautiful summer day bought visitors to the village in their thousands from early Sat-urday morning.
Some stallholders spoken to by the Cou-rier said they had started doing a brisk trade before the offi cial 9am start time for the fair - bargain hunters obviously stalking their prey early.
More photographs and a report on the day will feature in Thursday’s Courier.PICTURED RIGHT: Ngarimu Bay couple Helen and Roger Stuart, of ‘Reel Copper Fish and Birds’, 269061BD

In response to Clare St. Pierre let me say that it is not what the Bible is supposed to teach that I am op-posed to, but what it has produced. To use a Biblical term the fruit.
Using what the Bible teaches as a means of justifying its continued use in schools is far too open to interpretation: One person (Clare), can say that ‘women being taken out of man’ teaches ‘same species’. I say it teaches gender superiority, sexism. Who’s correct? It doesn’t actually matter!
The point is that from a posi-tion of some thousands of years, and understanding that the Bible is the foundation document of Western civilisation, we have the advantage of actually being able to clearly see what these foundational stories have produced: religious intolerance, war, racism, sexism,
speciesism, homophobia, elitism, the accumulation of national and personal wealth (at the expense of others) and ecological waste.
We need to stop being sentimen-tal about ‘wisdom and insight’ and stop feeling justifi ed by ‘good feedback’. Look at Western civili-sation and what it is perpetrating on earth now! For every occasional saint (Mother Theresa, Francis) who are the exceptions and not the norm (exceptional people actually arise out of every religion and so cannot be a proof of the rightness of one), there are countless millions who have known and are continu-ing to know the negative effects of these destructive stories in the hands of powerful, arrogant (not always but mainly) men.

The Nightglow will move from Innes Com-mon to the grounds of The University of Waikato, which joins WEL Energy Trust as principal sponsors..

Pirongia pupils sing up storm in ‘Idol’By Grant Johnston
There was no slating of contestants by the judges at the fi rst Pirongia School Idol staged last Tuesday night.
But then again all 11 contestants gave pol-ished performances and showed no signs of nerves, in front of a sellout crowd.
Giving the event a touch of authentic ‘Idol’ glamour was Ashley Cooper of Cambridge, who made it to the fi nal eight in last year’s New Zealand Idol contest.
She was assisted in her diffi cult delibera-tions by well performed local country singer, Brendon Liley and Leroy Clampitt, a prom-ising musician who was a Year 8 pupil at the school last year.
The two senior judges were Golden Guitar Award winners last year.
They were there to be judged as well as to judge and to the delight of the audience each member of the trio sang a song of their choice - not surprisingly, all passing with fl y-ing colours.
About 70 children tried out for a spot in the top 11.
People’s Choice winner, voted on by the audience, was Shannon Wright, singing ‘Landslide’ by the Dixie Chicks.
Winners of the fi rst Pirongia Idol trophies were Brooklyn Kennedy for junior school and Georgia Boden for senior school.
Brooklyn (6) gave a light footed (and bare footed) version of Madonna’s ‘Material Girl’, while Georgia won over the judges with her smooth dance moves and singing combined in ‘Moving on Up’ by M. People.
Both faced stiff competition from some talented and determined rivals.
Sponsorship from The Veterinary Centre and Foil ‘Em Etching & Design ensured every contestant received a prize and each judge a gift.
And rather than peer pressure, all con-testants received great support from their schoolmates, who joined in whenever possi-ble and offered plenty of encouragement.
The Pirongia Idol was the second big ‘fi rst’ for the school over a period of a few days - with a well supported community hangi staged the preceding Friday (as part of a schoolwide cultural unit).
“It was great to see the laying down and lifting of the food, the children performing in the kapa haka groups and everyone sitting together to sample hangi bounty,” says prin-cipal, Kevin Cronin.
BROOKLYN KENNEDY gives it heaps in her rendition of ‘Material Girl’ which won her the junior school Pirongia Idol trophy. 269063AD

Farmers urged to read report
With calving now behind them, the Na-tional Mastitis Advi-sory Committee hopes dairy farmers will make the time to read a recently-published report into the costs of one of farming’s most persistent bugbears.
The report, which resulted from Dairy In-Sight-funded research, revealed that the dairy industry is losing $180 million annually through mastitis.
Ted Coats, a direc-tor of Dairy InSight and chairman of the National Mastitis Advisory Committee said today that many farmers were happy simply to avoid com-pany penalties for un-acceptable somatic cell counts – rather than seeking to minimise those levels.
Mr Coats says the report had demon-strated that a farmer dropping the cell count in their herd from 220 000 cells/ml to 150 000 cell/ml would achieve a production gain of 2.8 kg of milksolids per cow.
“In the case of a herd of 315 cows, that rep-resents over $4,000 in extra earnings.”
The report and its fi ndings and recom-mendations have been posted on Dairy InSight and Dexcel websites.
The report is available to all farmers by calling 0800 44 67 44.

Five vie for Waipa seat on Environment Waikato
JAMES PARLANEIn four years Envi-
ronment Waikato rates have escalated by over 40% each year - rates were $40, now $150.
It is time someone stopped this. The most obvious method is to sack 40% of staff, pay them 40% less.
Vote for a councillor who exposes shortcom-ings and motivates effi ciency. I’m well known for pointing out failures of councils and educating them. EW is out of control, totally ineffi cient, expert bun-glers with nobody to stop them.
Vote change now. I do not partake of fancy council lunches or cruisy trips away at ratepayers expense. I don’t agree with wast-ing ratepayers funds on high risk overseas investments that fail, or councils cheating and hiding things from you.
I suggest spend-ing locally, combining resources, effi ciency. Wrong things, I tell you and try to fi x them. Ig-norant staff should be weeded out. Experience shows I can do that and blow the whistle when a penalty is needed.
I have a realistic view of what should be taken from the environ-ment and of what we can reasonably replace. I am not convinced by unreliable statistics.
FIONA JUDDFirstly, I need to
acknowledge the out-standing work of the late Barry O’Connor whose sad passing has created this by-elec-tion.
I hope that you will give me an opportunity to continue his great work.
This election is about voting for a candidate with the right qualifi -cations.
As part of a family that farmed at Hora-hora for 82 years, I understand the needs of rural communities.
As an environmen-talist, I’d bring real indepth experience to EW.
Further evidence of commitment is being a trustee of the Maun-gatautari Ecological Island Trust, a hugely successful project recognised nationally and internationally.
I have a Master of Science (First Class Hons) in Earth Scienc-es and was involved in research in Antartica into climate change.
More recently, I have run my own fi nancial investment consultan-cy, managing a multi-million dollar portfolio.
This equips me with the ability, as a qualifi ed investment adviser, to understand the complex business of Environment Waikato.
JULIET MACDONALDLeadership, govern-
ment and environmen-tal expertise, account-ability and passion are qualities I offer.
With over 10 years experience working for central and local gov-ernment, I bring under-standing of policy, legis-lation and democracy.
My leadership and passion are matched by founding, developing and managing Clean Up NZ Week. The event grew to be supported by all councils, central gov-ernment and generated an average of $700,000 in business sponsor-ship and publicity/year for local community projects.
In 2003, 200,000 peo-ple took part in cleaning up their local environ-ment.
Waipa is a beautiful region but there are is-sues like pollution, pest control and value for our rates that we must deal with.
I bring specialist knowledge with a de-gree in environmental science and a diploma in horticulture. This coupled with my fi nan-cial, resource manage-ment and governance skills will produce cost-effective council management.
I believe that your vote for me will guaran-tee Waipa professional, cost-effective decision making.

JOHN FISHERMy interest in be-
ing an Environment Waikato councillor stems from my involve-ment with EW through my work as Waikato Federated Farmers President.
We have all seen a number of regulations introduced by EW and the steady rise in the rate take.
I was involved in mediation over the Re-gional Plan which now has a number of rules and guidelines for landowners to adhere to that are not too dra-conian.
I would like to see these rules now be given a opportunity to work before any fur-ther stringent regula-tions are imposed.
This will be pertinent to our Waipa district with our hydro lakes being important for our recreation, but this must be balanced with the surrounding land based industries and their service industries being important for our all standards of living.
Water, the allocation of and the quality of, are going to be key is-sues for EW.
I believe that we need to put in place simple systems that do not create a large bureauc-racy and cost (passed on to rates) to achieve sensible outcomes.
Voting in the Waikato Regional Council (Environ-ment Waikato) by-election for Waipa constituency will begin this week.
Voting papers will be posted to electors from Thursday, September 28 to
Tuesday, October 3.The voting period will
open on Thursday, Septem-ber 28 and close at noon on Friday, October 20.
EW has contracted Waipa District Council to run the voting process. The by-elec-
tion will be conducted by postal vote under fi rst past the post electoral system.
Four candidates (in alpha-betical order) make their statements on this page, with Ashley Reid’s on page 6.

By Dean TaylorTe Awamutu College music depart-
ment ‘slotted’ in a variety concert last week because teachers felt the stu-dents had enough material to make it worthwhile.
It proved a bit of an understatement - as usual the students were more than well prepared for what was an-other terrifi c show.
The department was able to showcase all levels of musicianship
throughout the school, with items from junior classes, Support Act and Junior Jazz.
Several soloists who performed so well at National Festival gave encore performances, or played us new pieces - and Senior Band culminated the concert by showing us why they are consistent Gold Awardees.
The next concert from these wonder-ful young musicians will be in Novem-ber for Scream Rosetown Festival.

ASHLEY REIDI believe the key to the region’s
prosperity lies in a policy of sustainability in Waikato’s most important industry, agriculture, thus benefi ting all related in-dustries.
To achieve this goal I support education programmes on the effects of intensifi cation, the protection of natural waterways, and profi table management of unstable land.
Flooding is a constant threat in this region.
I support research into fl ood risk reduction and effective monitoring of river catchments and early warning systems.
Water resources both below and above ground are precious. Responsible allocation of water resources and protection for rec-reation and commercial users is a priority.
Public Transport is essential to the wellbeing of our Commu-nities. Close attention must be paid to the development of effec-tive public transport initiatives and policies. Recent efforts to enhance services are to be com-mended.
I strongly believe there must be careful analysis of needs and teamwork between stakeholders and council before committing to expenditure. I welcome your support.
EW candidate Molenberg, Sarah Ulmer present events for women
Molenberg has joined forces with Sarah Ulmer’s SUB brand to create a new series of women’s sporting events.
The Molenberg SUB Stride or Ride Series begins on November 12 with the fi rst run, walk or ride event at Lake Karapiro.
Comprising of fi ve events, each held in fantastic scenic loca-tions around New Zealand, the series has been created to give women a great reason to get active and ul-timately enjoy more active and healthy lifestyles.
Series spokesperson Sarah Ulmer is looking forward to the chal-lenge of inspiring peo-ple to get involved.
“At SUB we are all about encouraging everyday Kiwi chicks to get moving and lead an active lifestyle.
“It’s just fantastic for us to have a partner like Molenberg, which has the same passion as SUB in terms of promoting a healthy active lifestyle. Rip-ping into an event is a perfect way to launch into that kind of lifestyle!
“The Molenberg SUB Stride or Ride Series is an extension of the SUB Ride Series we have held for the past three years. But this year we are going big!
“We are heading to fi ve lo-cations around New Zealand and are including walking and running choices to go with our cycling courses.
“So there is something for everyone, no matter what sort of fi tness or ability you have.”
Sarah Ulmer says she’ll be at the events too, putting on the Lycra and also providing some motivation through regular emails to entrants and on the website.
The Molenberg SUB Stride or Ride Series includes fi ve course options: 5km walk or run, 10km walk or run, 15km cycle, 35km cycle and 65km cycle.
Open to women aged 16-plus, the events also include enter-tainment for the whole family, so the all-important supporters can join in the fun.
Registrations are now open - visit www.molenbergsubseries.co.nz to take the fi rst step.

Lining up to be Blacksticks
BLACKSTICK Kate Mahon (centre) with the 10 Waikato representatives at Ngahinapouri School (from left) David Pearson, Amber Griffi ths-Bell, Neve McLean, Alex Wood, Kendal Slight, Maddison McLean, Joanna Bishop, Amy Pearson, Dane Vickers, Nicholas Woods. 269067AD
By Cathy AsplinIt’s hard to know if Kate Ma-
hon (23) would have become a New Zealand hockey player if it wasn’t for a mix-up when she was just 10 years old.
When she was in Year 6 at Hukanui Primary School her principal sent a message to the classroom asking for ‘Kate’ to go to a hockey meeting.
That meeting proved to be the catalyst for her successful hockey career - but it wasn’t until later that she found out the ‘Kate’ summoned to attend the meeting wasn’t actually her, it was another Kate.
Kate Mahon took to hockey immediately, however, making a representative side in her fi rst year and going on to play in rep sides every year until making the Waikato U18 team.
She made the Blacksticks in 2005 and rates the Common-
wealth Games as one of the highlights of her career so far, even though the fourth placing was rather disappointing.
“It was just amazing to mix with all the other top sportspeo-ple - sitting down to have your breakfast with the All Blacks was pretty cool.”
Her other highlight was playing with the ‘superstars’ of hockey in the Champions Trophy.
Mahon has played for the Te Awamutu side this season, help-ing them to win the Midlands Intercity title and the Waikato Championship.
She was guest speaker at the Ngahinapouri end-of-season hockey prizegiving recently and congratulated the students on their efforts.
She was impressed that out of 35 eligible players, 10 had made Waikato representative sides this year.
The school had a total of 43 pupils playing this season, mak-ing up four teams - a six-aside junior team, an eight-aside team, an 11-aside senior team which won the Waikato A grade intermediate competition last year and a new 11-aside team.
The ‘Greensticks’ made the A grade semi-fi nals this year, narrowly missing a berth in the fi nal, while the new ‘Goldsticks’ made the E grade fi nal.STOP PRESS: Kate Mahon helped the Midlands side to an historic win in the National Hockey League on Sunday.
The Midlands team proved too good for North Harbour (3-1), beating them for the fi rst time.
The team came close to a double celebration as they were also leading Auckland 3-2 with a minute to go on Saturday, but Auckland produced a last minute equaliser.
PAGE 8 Te Awamutu Courier, Tuesday, September 26, 2006
I have the incredible privilege of being welcomed into people’s homes and talk to me at depth about their lives, their cares and concerns.
Often I hear about the loneliness of people’s lives. This can be a reality in many people’s lives for all sorts of reasons - families move away, friends move on or die, and many folk are left living alone or isolated from friends and family.
In older age especially, this can lead to anxiety and fear. Worries can centre round things like how a person will cope looking after them-selves and their home and garden, and what will happen when they get sick.
Items on the news about break-ins, violence and robbery don’t help either. A person who is already feeling vulnerable can be affected adversely by all the negativity that comes at them from the world around them.
It’s as if all they hear becomes a recording of bad news. Somehow this recording, which echoes in the mind, becomes oppressive, and needs to be changed.
This is where the good news comes in. And the good news comes in such words as: “Do not be afraid, for I am with you,” says God through the
prophet Isaiah. Or “Be strong and courageous; do not be frightened or dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go,” said God to Joshua in the Jewish Scriptures.
Or again: “Leave all your worries with God, because God cares for you,” wrote Peter in his letter to other Christians. And the psalmist wrote of God with great confi dence: “When I was upset and beside myself, you calmed me down and cheered me up.” (quoted from ‘The Message’)
What would it be liked if we lis-tened to these words of good news as often as we listened to the bad news of the world around us?
From time to time I suggest to someone that they take one of these sayings of good news (or one of the many others you can fi nd in the Jew-ish and Christian Scriptures of the Bible) as an antidote.
Use the words three (or more) times a day. Say them slowly out loud a few times. To hear, listen to, and welcome such encouraging words can change that recording of bad news to one of good news and counteract the fear with hope.
Try one of the above quotes of good news for a few days and see what a difference it can make.
Welcoming good news into our livesby Maureen Calman, Te Awamutu Methodist Church

Te Awamutu artist asked to exhibit in New York
Te Awamutu artist Jacqueline Bell-Walsh has been invited to exhibit her paintings at the Agora Gallery in New York.
Director of the gallery, An-gela Di Bello said of Mrs Bell-Walsh’s art:
“The work reveals a clear understanding of the emotional aspect of abstraction. The ex-pression of longing, universal love and a sense of balance, har-mony and serenity is refl ected in the subtle fusion of colour and form. Resolute in style and perspective, I feel that the work has a wide appeal and will reso-
nate well in New York and with our international audience.”
Mrs Bell-Walsh has been cho-sen to participate in an exhibi-tion for selected artists at this gallery in 2007.
She has also been offered a representation contract with them for 12 months.
“This is an exciting oppor-tunity to expose my work to a wider audience, which I feel is the next step in my artistic ca-reer,” she says.
Mrs Bell-Walsh is also cur-rently in consultation with a gallery in England who are in-
terested in exhibiting her work. With this in mind, this year
she started painting onto loose linen, to enable shipping over-seas with more ease.
Before she starts calling the overseas shipping and courier services, she is preparing for a small local show of her work.
During the month of October a selection of her works will be displayed (and for sale) in the Burchell Pavilion at Te Awamutu Information Centre.
For further information about Mrs Bell-Walsh and her art, vis-it www.jacqbellwalsh.vc.net.nz

Te Awamutu Fish and Game Club is hosting an evening with a fi shing focus at the Red Cross Hall tomorrow night.
John Pellew, a member of the New Zealand Flyfi shing Team is guest speaker.
A local club member will also show slides of fl y fi shing amongst the bears in Alaska from a recent trip.
John Pellew began fl y fi sh-ing at the end of 1999 and has since fi shed extensively throughout New Zealand.
He enjoyed fi shing on his own until he was introduced to the competitive side of the sport by Ye Huang (who re-cently won the 2006 National Championships). Ye and John Pellew started fl y fi shing at the same casting clinic at Fish City Hamilton with Mike Davis and Rene Vaz.
Mr Pellew has won or placed consistently highly in most regional and national events in New Zealand. He has fi shed the Tasmania Oceania cham-pionship, Commonwealths in Scotland and the 2004 World Championships in Slovakia.
Mr Pellew has organised and successfully run many regional competitions and was on the 2005 National
and Oceania Championships organising committee. He cre-ated remarkable growth in the NZ CD Rods National Doubles Championships which he has run since 2002, an event in which he has placed second once and won twice.
Mr Pellew runs the busy Fish City tackle store show-room, writes articles for local club newsletters, has given nu-merous seminars and talks in clubs around the North Island and runs fl y fi shing clinics with Ye Huang.
He also sits on the executive board of Sport Fly Fishing NZ Inc.
Mr Pellew’s most recent ac-complishment is his contribu-tion of six of his most deadly fl y tying creations and story to the newest fl y fi shing book on the market ‘New Zealand’s best trout fl ies’ compiled by Peter Scott and edited by Pe-ter Chan.
The club invites any inter-ested people to join them to hear Mr Pellew discuss modern nymphing and fi shing methods suitable for local streams and rivers, plus bears, moose and salmon from Alaska. There is no charge and a light supper will be provided.

There are two types of the game that are popular nowadays - As-sociation Croquet, which has been the competi-tive side of the game for many years, and Golf Croquet, a shorter ver-sion of the sport pre-ferred by some players.
Both forms of the game are played at the local club in Victoria Park.

New players are al-ways welcome to try the game that keeps the brain active.
Tuition is available.

St Patrick’s collect Fred Amess Trophy
By Colin ThorsenThe re-introduction of the
Fred Amess Trophy for Primary schools’ soccer supremacy was an unmitigated success.
St Patrick’s became the fi rst holders of the trophy since Arohena triumphed in 1978 when it was last played for.
They beat Pokuru 3-0 in the fi -nal at Anchor Park, although the scoreline did not refl ect how close the game was.
St Patrick’s were clearly the best of the eight teams entered, conceding only one goal all day.
The plate fi nal resulted in a 4-0 win to Wharepapa South over Arohena.
All teams had a minimum fi ve games, with every player receiv-ing a participation certifi cate.
A match ball, signed by the players who took the fi eld, was presented to the champion St Patrick’s and Wharepapa South teams.
The trophy was originally set up to encourage local school chil-dren to participate in soccer.
Fred Amess was the fi rst life member of the Te Awamutu Soc-cer club.
He was instrumental in intro-ducing soccer at a junior level in Te Awamutu.
Billy Carter, from the junior club committee, was the prin-cipal organiser of the recent tournament.
He said it was great to get the competition up-and-running again.
“All the kids seemed to have a ball. The event can only get big-ger and better next year.”
Dave Ireland, player/coach of Te Awamutu senior men’s soccer team, said the re-introduction of the event has allowed many primary school children an op-portunity to play soccer in a fun, social environment.
“It has also provided schools in the region with a focal point for some friendly rivalry.”
An estimated 60% of children
who played were not involved in winter soccer.
Ireland, who coached the Pekerau team, said the compe-tition provided them with an opportunity to try a new sport and have some fun without any pressure.
“The day was about participa-tion and enjoyment with winning a secondary objective.”

Langlands bounces back to peak form
By Colin ThorsenTe Awamutu Sports Cycling Club fl exed
its muscle winning 10 gold, three silver and fi ve bronze medals at the Waikato Bay of Plenty road cycling champion-ships.
The elite, under-23 and under-19 fi elds all rode together over the 125km course, starting and fi nishing at Wharepapa South School.
Two of New Zealand’s rising age group stars, Hamilton’s Mark Langlands and Te Awamutu Sports’ Shem Rodger upstaged the elite riders.
The pair rode away from the fi eld, with Langlands pipping Rodger in a sprint fi nish.
Langlands recorded the fastest overall time of 3hr 39m 36s taking out the under-23 title.
It has been a remarkable return to form by Langlands, who was seriously injured when knocked off his bike by a vehicle on a training ride in France last year.
Rodger was credited with the same time (as Langlands) winning the under-19 championship.
Scott Murray (TA Sports) took out the elite title in 3.48.23.
Te Awamutu Sports’ New Zealand representative Amy Mosen won the elite women’s 75km race in a sprint fi nish from Rotorua’s Sonia Foote in 2.28.25.
The highly promising Nicole Treweek (TA Sports) blitzed the under-19 women’s fi eld with a time of 2.29.54. She was just over a minute off the elite winner’s pace over 75km.
There was some outstanding racing in the veteran and junior grades.
Te Awamutu Sports made a clean-sweep of all three medals in both the under-13 boys’ and under-19 women’s grades

The second annual Waipa Rip-pa Rugby tournament at Kihikihi Domain attracted a record 31 teams from 16 Project Energise schools in the Waipa and South Waikato region.
Students participated in over 3½ hours of physical activity which supports one of the goals of Project Energize (for students to be physically active).
Competition was intense throughout the day with both junior and senior students giving it their all.
A special mention goes out to all the student referees for giv-ing up the chance to play, and doing such a professional job of refereeing the 55 games played throughout the day.
Each team consisted of 10 players, of which three had to be girls.
The day was a great suc-cess, with all students getting involved in playing the game, whilst displaying some very good team skills.
Communication and co-opera-tion were essential ingredients to team success. This was evident in the fabulous tries and some determined defence.
Waipa teams featured promi-nently, St Patrick’s winning the senior pool A round-robin and Kihikihi winning the pool B round-robin.
Pekerau and Tokoroa East School were joint winners of the junior pool after drawing their playoff 7-all.
Matthew Cooper, Sport Waikato CEO and former Waikato and All Black rugby player presented shields to each winning team and a prize pack to players.
The day would not have been possible without the support of Sports Distributors Ltd, the Kihikihi Domain committee, Project Energize, Sport Waikato and the Waikato Rugby Union.

Morris snr pulls off remarkable golf win
Dominic and Justin Morris completed a rare father and son championship double at Te Awamutu Golf Club.
Dominic beat Anthony Cox 4/3 on the 33rd hole in the fi nal of the senior men’s matchplay championship.
His son Justin had taken out the senior strokeplay title ear-lier in the season.
Justin was to have played Kelvin Trass in the second round of matchplay but de-faulted after being selected to play for Waikato against North Harbour.
“Who knows, I might have met Justin in the fi nal but it’s not every day he’ll get an op-portunity to play for Waikato,” says Dominic.
The win by Dominic was something of a miracle.
In June this year he had back surgery to fuse together two vertebrae.
It was the second time he had gone under the knife to try and remedy the back ailment.
Fortunately, it proved to be second time lucky.
His specialist gave him the all clear to return to golf seriously in August, giving him less than two months to get into shape for the championship.
Morris and Cox were all square after 18 holes.
Morris won the fi rst two holes after the luncheon break, then traded holes until the 29th.
He then won two holes on the trot before clinching the title on the 33rd.
The intermediate division saw William Wetere and Paul McFarlane surviving strong challenges before making the
fi nal.After being 3-up at the 18th,
Wetere built on his lead to even-tually win the match 8/7 at the 29th hole.
There had been great interest in the junior fi nal between pre-vious winner Noel Gillespie and young Compton Pikari (9).
It turned into a non event with Pikari defaulting the match due to a clash of dates with the Junior Golfi ng Society fi nal trial at Waitomo to select the Waikato Booth Shield team for the forth coming national championships.
Gillespie survived strong op-
position in his matches leading up to the fi nal and is once again a deserving junior champion.
The Junior B division was contested by the most players ever entering for these cham-pionships.
It resulted in a win for Darcy Warren after a tight encounter with the consistent Stan Fre-drikson.
Parker plate winners were Andrew Brown (senior), Avtar Ghuman (intermediate), Robert Coleman (junior) and Michael McDougall (junior B).
The Kihikihi Crate went to Colin Green.

John Cooper owner of Te Awamutu Rural Spraying Contractors has recent-ly taken delivery of a new custom built agricultural spray unit.
John has been in business for 10 years and this is this third new machine. As an owner operator he has always been mindful of providing top quality serv-ice. Such has been his workload he was faced with the decision of either putting another unit on the road or building a new rig with much greater capacity and capability so that he could handle the increased workload on his own.
Utilising local expertise he commissioned Stewart and Cavalier to custom build the new unit to his own exacting specifi cations. The state of the art unit is built on a Mitsubishi Fighter 4WD truck with special agricultural fl otation tyres.Everything about the new setup is impressive including the Italian designed bargram boom with 9 hydraulic functions and a span of 18.5metres incorporating 37 nozzles with triple nozzle bodies. The system is run by BA7000 computer controlling speed, fl ow, 5 boom section controls, a diagnostic check system for easy detection of system faults, with nearly all functions totally controlled from the cab. The unit is powered by a 9HP Honda Spray Pump with a 2000L spray tank and its own fresh water fl ush system - another ef-fi ciency gain.
An important innovation in the cab is a GPS system which allows farm and paddock mapping and also provides John with a grid layout of the most effi cient way to spray individual areas.John is especially complimentary of the expertise and skill shown by local tradesmen Dar-ryl Haworth and Aaron Charlesworth from Stewart and Cavalier and Deane Mark from Deane Mark Auto Electrical for the electronic fi tout.
He is understandably proud of the new setup and as part of his services can provide complete job co-ordination including technical advice plus supply and delivery of chem-icals or liquid fertilisers.
