Red Nose appeal starts It’s that time of year again; when New Zealanders up and down the country paint the town red to support Red Nose Day, raising funds for research into child health. Cure Kids kicked off its annual appeal at the start of August, leading up to Red Nose Day on Friday 23rd of August. Last year’s campaign raised $1.3 million dollars and 100% of the funds raised went directly to funding medical research.

Netballing trip
Six of the best! Right: Fencibles players can only stand and watch as Waiuku’s Elliot Crean leaps high to head home in their Northern League match on Saturday. Waiuku hosted the fourth-placed side and bounced back from early pressure to smash the promotion-hopefuls 6-0 in a thrilling game at Massey Park. Chris Abbot was named player of the day in what has been labelled the team’s most complete performance this year.
The Waiuku Netball U15 Representative Team recently competed in the North Island U15 Tournament held in New Plymouth. The team says this year has seen great improvement by the team with a focus on preparation for their trip. This was the last of six fixtures and a fantastic tournament to be part of.

High acclaim for Pukekohe photographer Pukekohe photographer Harry Janssen was named one of four finalists for the supreme ‘NZIPP Photographer of the Year’ Award at the prestigious national Iris awards in Auckland. The New Zealand Institute of Professional Photography (NZIPP) is the only qualifying body for professional photographers in New Zealand and covers wedding, portrait, and commercial disciplines. It ensures members adhere to the highest standards of creative and business practices, and the Iris Awards are an annual event showcasing the best of the best. Every year Mr Janssen has enjoyed greater success rapidly gaining his Associate and Masters Recognition within the Industry, becoming a finalist in the Landscape Category, being awarded NZIPP Auckland Photographer of the Year in 2011, being invited to participate as a judge for the last two years, and now becoming a Fellow of NZIPP and finalist for the supreme award. “I agonise over what to enter into the awards. Every year I aim for something different to previous years. The awards encourage us to really push our boundaries and explore new techniques and subject matter. They keep us on our game and ultimately benefit our custom-
distance, a metaphor for a life journey, a grinding slog with no ending and a stair case that can’t possibly get you to the top. It’s dark and gritty. A second Gold was awarded in the Creative Section for a gnarly old tree, an acknowledgement of getting older and the passing of time. When you look closely you notice a tiny figure, a dog and a bi-plane. “We are truly small and insignificant and alone” says Mr Janssen. It is another masterpiece of creative interpretation and technical excellence. Mr Janssen often judges and runs workshops for numerous local camera clubs and photographic societies. He was invited to be a judge at Iris again this year and takes this role very seriously. “There are three days of print judging sometimes running for 12 ½ hours and we are continually trying to read images and see what the author wants us to see. It is hard work and tiring but worth every moment. To be a part of such an event is truly inspiring.” With the awards over for another year, it is back to Redzebra Studio for Mr Janssen. To view Mr Janssen’s award winning images go to www.redzebrastudio.co.nz or view all of the awards at www.nzipp.org.nz
By Jan Maree Vodanovich ers as we improve” says Mr Janssen, who was awarded two Gold, three Silver Distinction, three Silver and one Bronze Award. Although the Gold Awards are the most coveted, Mr Janssen said his Silver Distinction Award for a Commercial shot of a welder was one of the most special. He passionately describes his drive to add a creative component to traditional commercial photography which can often be mundane and ordinary. Ultimately it was the Gold Awards that gained Mr Janssen his NZIPP Fellowship and the distinction of being on stage with the Industry greats and heralded as one of the top photographers in the country. Mr Janssen’s first Gold was awarded in the Landscape Category for “The Silo”, an emotionally charged image created on a particularly difficult day for him. The judges commented that it was a powerful piece of visual communication promoting a superior emotional response and evoking an enduring quality. It is a monument that just keeps rising up into the

Smoke and mirrors As the storm over Fonterra’s handling of its whey contamination issues dies down slightly, attention is being focussed on another large organisation which is doing itself no favours in its communication with its stakeholders. The Auckland Council, formed on the basis of savings to ratepayers and more accountability, is proving to be one of the most frustrating organisations to deal with from a media and ratepayer standpoint. We had a reader this week trying to make sense of her rates bill, and she had travelled to both the Franklin and Manukau Auckland Council offices, to be told the staff there couldn’t explain the issue she raised. I don’t blame her for being confused. Naturally, we are inundated with emails from Council telling us what a sterling job the Council is doing. But, they only paint half the picture. Earlier this year, they sent this: “The draft plan also includes proposals to reduce costs to ratepayers. Council plans to deliver more than $64 million of new ongoing operating savings for 2012/2013 and 2013/2014, in addition to the $81 million of efficiency savings delivered since the first year of the new council.” So, if Council plans to deliver a total of $145 million in savings, one needs to ask why are Franklin’s rate’s increases among the highest in the region? In fact, why are we having a rates increase at all? Reducing costs to ratepayers should mean just that. It shouldn’t mean ‘we haven’t charged you as much as we were going to originally.’

Yorkshire Day draws international support
Post PUZZLES
Two events in Franklin recently marked Yorkshire Day, celebrated officially on August 1. A lunch at the Pukekohe Cosmopolitan Club drew over 100 people of all ages to celebrate their Yorkshire ancestry. Ron Bird opened proceedings before Lynne Hartley announced the official arrival of a Yorkshire flag and another flag from the Skipton Council. A traditional fish, chips and mushy peas lunch was served, before a Yorkshire quiz which featured prizes of confectionary and other items from the northern

England county. A cutting of the cake was done by the oldest and youngest attendees, Margaret Rex (92), and Chris Wood, (12), who were both born at Meanwood Hospital in Leeds, but who met for the first time at the Pukekohe event. The second function was held at Waiuku’s Shires restaurant, where a Skype link with Skipton was shown on a big screen from 6.30pm, allowing local council dignitaries to interact with the Mayor of Skipton. There was some good-natured
banter between Waikato Mayor Alan Sanson and his Skipton counterpart, while others to speak with their UK counterparts included Auckland Council representative Dan Lynch, Waiuku’s Bernard Batty on behalf of the RSA, and William Trevarthern, representing NZ Scouts. Yorkshire bunting was displayed at both events, while the historic Kentish Hotel in Waiuku also flew the Yorkshire flag in commemoration. Planning for next year’s event is already underway.

Anglicans enjoy a flutter for fund raiser By Janine Baalbergen Franklin Anglicans had a jolly old lunch time at the Counties Racing Club last Saturday. The parishes of Pukekohe, Bombay/Pokeno and Waiuku-Mauku do this annual day at the races to raise funds. Thanks to generous sponsorship from local businesses, half of them from Waiuku, the event was a great success. Race No 3 of the day at Pukekohe, the Parish Fundraiser 1200, was won by Twilight Dragon. Losing tickets and door tickets went into the draw for numerous prizes and there was a silent auction for a beautiful handcrafted quilt donated by the sewing group from St Andrew’s Anglican Church in Pukekohe. many had a dip into a raffle or two, including one for the New Zealand Spinal Trust, who held a function next door.

Lucy named region’s best Waiuku 17-year-old Lucy Croft already has one major award to her name, having just received her shield as South Auckland Cadet of the Year, and in a few weeks expects to complete her badging for the Order’s highest youth award, the Grand Prior Award. The last Grand Prior award for a Waiuku cadet was around 20 years ago, and it is believed that the local group has only three Grand Prior awards ever in their history. Lucy has been a member of St John for eight years, originally in England and then in New Zealand after her family emigrated. Recently promoted to Cadet Leader at Waiuku, Lucy completed a three-day leadership course at Clarks Beach and, for her Cadet of the Year award, was up against two other finalists. Lucy completed a 10-minute presentation and was then interviewed by six area managers. As Cadet Leader, Lucy has been teaching some of the younger cadets, assisting them with their badgework and helping with divisional training. With just a couple of badges to go before she can receive the Grand Prior award, usually presented by the Governor-General, Lucy will not only become one of the few local St John members to achieve the honour, she will also be one of the youngest - the award can be worked toward up to 21 years of age, and she anticipates having the work completed

Waiuku’s Ken Letcher was designated a Paul Harris Fellow at a Waiuku Rotary meeting recently, in recognition of his services to his community, his vocation, and as someone whose life demonstrates a shared purpose with the objectives and mission of The Rotary Foundation, The Paul Harris Fellow is named for Paul Harris, who founded Rotary over 100 years ago. The Rotary Foundation is one of the largest and most important programs of Rotary. Ken, who moved to Waiuku in 1970 has been involved in teaching as a career for many years, and has now retired from the profession. He has set an example for many by his contributions to his community in many ways. Ken was instrumental in setting up the Rotary Primary School speech contest which has been operating now for 26 years. Another of Ken’s achievements is the Waiuku Primary School Music festival which is held each year. As one of the speakers said, “His personal involvement makes our community a better place in which to live.” The Probus Club of Waiuku is another example of the way Ken works quietly in the community. This was an initiative of Ken’s and now has over 100 members. The Rotary club of Waiuku recognises these efforts and has made a contribution to the Rotary Foundation in Ken’s name. This contribution could provide educational opportunities, food for the poor, potable water in a village in Africa or India, health care, shelter, schools and books for thousands of children. It can buy cows to supply milk to an entire village or supply sewing machines to widows so they may become self sufficient. President Don Wills presented Ken with the two emblems of a Paul Harris Fellow; a certificate and a lapel pin. The symbolism in the presentation was to say “Thank you Ken, for making a difference in your community.”
Orpheus treasure To celebrate its 20th birthday, Voyager New Zealand Maritime Museum is planning on partying with the public – both on and off the water – for this coming weekend, August 17 and 18. Volunteers and some Friends of the Museum have compiled a ‘20 Treasures: 20 Years’ trail which traverses the galleries. Each ‘treasure’ has a significant role in our maritime history, and has its own story to tell. Meanwhile on the water the scow Ted Ashby, Voyager’s Tall Ship, the Brigantine Breeze and New Zealand’s smallest steam tug SS Puke will be sailing. Three other vintage steam boats – Zeltic, Victoria and Kapanui will be on display. For further information call 09 373 0800 or go to www.maritimemuseum.co.nz Top: the painting of HMS Orpheus, wrecked off the Awhitu coast in 1863, was chosen by Sir Bob Harvey as one of the treasures on display this month.

Lost, found The following items are being held at the Waiuku Police Station after being handed in recently. From June, there was a ladies windbreaker found at New World. In July, there was a Sapphire and Diamond Ring found at New World, a Cargo Bag containing womens clothing, found on Norfolk Rise, a set of prescription glasses in a Vista case found on Queen Street, and a ladies small black wallet found on Colombo Road. In August, police have been handed a black and white ladies wallet, and a scooter found at Karioitahi Beach.
Arson concern after rubbish uncollected Central Waiuku businesses are asking questions of Auckland Council after uncollected rubbish was set alight in the town square on Friday night. Businesses near the plaza spoke with the Post on the weekend and said they were concerned for their premises if late-night revellers were setting light to bags left behind by council contractors. It is believed CCTV footage of the town centre may show those responsible, and Waiuku Police have been notified of the incident.
Celebrations all round for Pukekohe trust Pukekohe Community Action Trust (PCA) celebrated two years last week at the Campbell Tyson Centre. The trust runs grief support services, a friendship programme for the over 65s, known as the Selwyn Centre, and groups for parents with children, including one to help first-time mothers cope with the demands of a first baby. The trust has support from across the community but was initiated by St Andrew’s Anglican Church. It all started in 1997 with an OpShop, the proceeds of which are poured into the community. Church members, members from other churches and people from the community help run this Op-Shop that makes around $12,000 a year. The community services just grew and grew: help for first time parents, help for parents with small children, providing grief support to chil-
By Janine Baalbergen dren through local schools and after school programmes, as well as an opportunity for seniors to get together, share lunch, do exercises and make new friends. When it became clear there were more needs than people or money to fill these from within the church, St Andrew’s set up the Community Action Trust to enable the community to support and participate in these services. Anne Bolton, the special education and needs coordinator of Pukekohe’s Hill School said it was a privilege to be able to host the Seasons grief support programme at the school. She said sometimes kids refer themselves to the programme, others come via family members, teachers, the school
or even other kids who suggest they might benefit from it. The hour-long programme takes place during a morning, a precious time in teaching, but the support of the teaching staff is such they are happy to accommodate this, as they can see the huge benefit to the children involved. Local Seasons coordinator Debra Wilcox says the children are very keen to participate in Seasons. “We take them on a journey of self discovery and growth,” she says about the work. The Trust also has help for children who struggle with a life-threatening illness in their life. There are lots more plans, because there are a lot more needs. If you want to help, would like more information or want to participate in any of the activities the Trust runs, contact them via PO Box 338, Pukekohe 2340, or ph Jan Wallace 027 452 1366.

Excellence in service, gas bottle fills, workshop and fuel discounts It’s almost five years since Deepak and Rebecca took over the Caltex Glenbrook, and they say a combination of excellent customer service, LPG bottle fills, workshop for all mechanical repairs and forecourt service has seen the service station prove popular with locals. Asked what he thinks makes the locals so supportive of the station, Deepak says it’s the total focus on customer service that they and their staff have initiated. “It’s a great community,” he adds, “we get to know our customers and they know us and our team. We really enjoy being part of the community.” While the service is undoubtably part of the attraction, the competitive petrol prices are also seeing customers flock to the station, just a few kilometres from Waiuku. AA Smartfuel Cards are popular with clients as they can save a further 6c per litre with purchases of $40 or more off fuel. The LPG refill service is another drawcard, as Deepak says the Caltex is the only station in the local area to fill bottles, rather than swapping them offering a big advantage for people that can now fill the bottles any time we are open, and as refills are more economical as compared to swapping bottles. Customer service is a real focus for Rebecca and Deepak and that’s a belief shared by staff member Nena, who has been with them since the start. “I like my customers, and I love my bosses, she laughs, “I have great customers and, having been born and raised in Waiuku, I know most of the locals. We’ve got a great team here and it’s a lot of fun.” Deepak says the next stage of the development of the business will be to renovate and refurbish the shop part of the station, at the site within the next few months along with adding additional facilities for the local community.
The station frequently holds promotions, and the current one is a chance to win a black Forza scooter, (pictured right), with an entry into the draw with every purchase of $60 or more. The extended hours that the Caltex is open, (5am to 8pm weekdays and 6.30am to 7.30pm on weekends and holidays), has proved popular with people needing warrant of fitnesses, or general vehicle repairs. Qualified mechanic Gary Stutt, who is a local hails from Clarks Beach, took over operations of the workshop in January. With 18 years experience in vehicle repairs, Gary says he has seen the business growing steadily in the past few months. “The previous mechanic Graham Thomwas well known and respected in the local community had been here for 19 years, “The word seems to be getting around though, as we have had a lot more of the locals booking in and we’re actually pretty busy at the moment,” Gary says. “Because the Caltex is open from 5am through the week, it’s ideal for people dropping their cars off before work, and then we can get their service or warrant done and they can collect it on their way home. It’s very handy especially for shift workers at the Steel Mill.” The workshop covers general repairs, warrant checks, maintenance and services as well as cambelts, brakes and regular wear and tear items. The range of services offered at Caltex Glenbrook, with the extended and developed store, the availability of the workshop and full service forecourt and LPG fills have turned the business into a hub of the local community. As Deepak and Rebecca say, there’s even more to come and they are enjoying interacting and serving the community of Glenbrook and beyond.
Below left: Caltex Glenbrook mechanic Gary Stutt says the ability for clients to drop cars off early and collect them late from the garage is making repairs more convenient for locals.

If you’re in Pukekohe on the weekend of September 20-22, you’ll find a madcap team raising funds for local children. The Where’s Wally team will drive their Stihl Shop Silverdale-sponsored 1959 Pontiac Laurentian for the tenth time in a Variety Mini Bash. Their orange car with its roof-mounted chainsaw, boot-top rocket, flashing lights and sirens is as big a hit with adults as kids, but it’s their costumes that make them memorable. Lanky Peter Leishman, his wife Judy and their daughter Dana plus Power Parts man Bernie Duff dress up in the instantly recognisable redand-white striped shirts and round black glasses. But there’s a serious side to the mayhem. “We
just love making a difference to kids who need a hand, and their families,” Pete says. “It makes you realise how lucky you are with your own kids.” Judy says the ‘Bash’ is a bit of a family, too. Everyone does their own fund-raising through the year before meeting the Bash crew for a twice-yearly dona-
tion run. Next month they’ll be seeing the Waikato and Franklin areas, calling in at schools to make donations, and shaking a donation bucket in Pukekohe before taking kids with cancer for a ride round Pukekohe race track.
Budding young Country stars wanted The Waiuku Country Music Club are looking for youngsters with the X factor for their first-ever Junior X Factor Talent Quest.

ternet the other night to see if others were developing these programmes, and a search for ‘learn to fall safely’ results in over 64 million references. My favourite includes a series of photos demonstrating falling techniques, and a list of instructions to follow while you are in the process of falling. You must turn your head to avoid breaking your nose, but not turn it too far, as this can further damage your neck. Try to remember this on the way down. The best part was where it suggested (after practise), you can get to a stage where you fall, perform a backward roll, and regain your feet. The site says this is especially important if you are falling as a result of being attacked, and, (I’m not kidding), has a handy link to another section called ‘how to take a punch’. The ACC programmes appear to be setting a new, ground-breaking trend for government agencies. It’s a refreshing approach, as we have clearly decided as a country we can not stop people from doing things to hurt themselves. I await with eagerness a new campaign from the NZTA on ‘Safer Crashing Techniques, a six-week programme on how to miss the apex of the corner and end up in the bushes.’ Perhaps the Alcohol Advisory Board will bring out a video series on ‘Effective Drunkenness - Slurring and Stumbling for Beginners’, or the Water Safety Council will have a facebook page on ‘Water, floating or sinking - what you’re doing wrong.” And no doubt the Race Relations Commissioner will issue a group set of pamphlets titled “Fifty simple ways to abuse people based on their colour.” This would have the added advantage that it would also mesh nicely with the already-available video series on ‘How to take a punch.’

Housing shortage pushing prices One property executive is supporting last week’s Government announcement to help first-home buyers, but says a shortage of housing is still the biggest problem. Harcourts CEO Hayden Duncan says he is in favour of any policy that makes it easier for first home buyers to enter the market. However, he believes lack of housing supply and fierce competition is the number one reason some first home buyers struggle. “Our most recent statistics show across New Zealand there are 12% fewer properties for sale than there were at the same time last year. Auckland (-10.2%) and Christchurch (-22.6%) remain the worst affected. “This shortage of available housing is driving prices up and making it more difficult for those not already in the property market.” However, Mr Duncan says statistics also show the number of people buying homes for the first time has not significantly reduced over the past two years. Harcourts conducts a post transaction survey to map trends demonstrated by vendors and purchasers. The results are cumulated
and allow for monthly and yearly comparison. The survey reveals in 2011 a total of 27.1% of buyers were making a first home purchase, compared with 25.4% so far in 2013. This indicates first time buyers are still entering the property market in good numbers, Mr Duncan says. “A first home buyer will struggle to purchase in the most popular suburbs, for example the inner suburbs of Auckland. What we are seeing is people widening the scope of where they will consider living and looking further outwards.” Mr Duncan says low housing stock must be fundamentally addressed by reducing development fees and building costs and speeding up the consents process. “It’s simple. We don’t have enough houses, particularly in Auckland and Christchurch, to keep up with the demand. We need to make it easier for developers. The change to KiwiSaver and Welcome Home Loans criteria is good news for some, but it is not going to alter the source of the problem.”

Consumer NZ says it is concerned a discussion document released by Telecommunications Minister Amy Adams on pricing for wholesale ultra-fast broadband (UFB) and copper. The group says the document contained three options, all of which would see the price of copper much higher than the Commerce Commission is recommending. “Not only is this bad news for consumers who will now be further subsidising the rollout of UFB, it is also particularly concerning that the Government would over-rule the Commerce Commission, which is supposedly the independent regulator”, said Consumer NZ CEO Sue Chetwin. She says the roll-out of UFB was meant to

compete with copper services so that consumers would have choice. That choice was expected to be for cheaper copper and slower services or more expensive UFB with better quality and faster services on offer. “However, the Government has succumbed to pressure from Chorus, which successfully tendered for most of the country’s UFB roll-out and was planning to use high copper prices to pay for it”, Chetwin said. “Effectively today’s announcement means ordinary New Zealanders will be subsidising Chorus and its shareholders.” Consumer NZ will be joining Internet NZ and the Telecommunications Users Association in opposing the proposals.

Yummy gingerbread horses raise funds
View Road School students Tremayne Robertson, (pictured above), his sister Payton, and their cousin Serenity Thompson have been busy selling gingerbread horses to raise funds for Riding for the Disabled. Serenity’s Mum Celena saw a link about a baking campaign for NZRDA and thought of the kids’ cousin Max Thompson-Bailey, of Whangarei, who suffers from Cerebral Palsy and is a member of Riding for the Disabled. The project then turned into even more of a family affair when the kids’ grandma, Trish Thompson received the fundraising pack and began baking. The youngsters decorated them and sold them outside Trish’s house, as well as taking orders at View Road School. Trish, Tremayne and Payton’s mum had to bake more biscuits because the kids sold out. Altogether they raised a whopping $152, and View Road School Principal Cris Hull said she can see a great businessman coming into this world. The family thank the local community for their great support.

Fishy project for jamboree The Waiuku Scout Troop held the Great Gurnard Grab recently on the Manukau Harbour. This event raised $1200 towards the cost of their Scouts attending the 20th NZ Jamboree in Feilding at the end of this year. There were 74 anglers on the day and although there was not a massive bounty there were some big fish weighing in by the time all the keen anglers returned to base. Darren Whyte’s Gurnard took top spot in the Open section with 1.25kg and Ethan Poppelbaum’s Gurnard took out the Junior section with his fish weighing 1.05kg. The Troop had a fantastic response from their sponsors, which meant there were lots of prizes and raffle items. Sponsors for the event are listed under the Public Notices section in this edition. As the troop says, without the support of sponsors this event would not have been possible. And the fundraising doesn’t stop there. There are more sausage sizzles coming and also a car wash planned for the spring time. The troop thanks all the people who supported them by buying tickets and turning up on the day.
Ethan Poppelbaum won the Child’s section of the Great Gurnard Grab.

Patumahoe area gets $80,000 a year to foster local identity Community and Voluntary Sector Minister Jo Goodhew has announced that eight new community development projects around the country will be supported with over $1.9 million of funding from the Community Development Scheme. One of the schemes includes funding to develop and preserve a local sense of identity in the Patumahoe area. “The Community Development Scheme supports communities which are working to generate their own solutions to local issues, and aspiring to become more self-reliant and resilient,” says Mrs Goodhew. “The scheme focuses on communitydriven and based projects that enable communities to work together in new ways, to be innovative and to determine their own development priorities in order to achieve sustainable community outcomes. “An example is Patumahoe Primary School, which will be funded to lead initiatives aim-
ing to strengthen and preserve the local sense of identity. In the first year this will include reinstating the community newsletters, expanding the community website and holding workshops on local environmental issues.” Rotorua Community Youth Centre will receive funding from the scheme for a project that aims to connect young people with older members of the community, to encourage learning by younger people and help older people remain connected and engaged with the community. The other six projects that will receive funding are being led by Helensville District Health Trust, Counties Manukau Sport Foundation, Te Ora Hou Te Tairwhiti Trust, Prison Fellowship New Zealand, YMCA of South and Mid Canterbury and Grey District Council. Each of the eight projects will receive funding of $80,000 plus GST per year for three years.
Right: These Patumahoe stores, pictured from about 1912, represent the connection with history which the township is striving to reconnect with, even as it anticipates substantial housing development in coming years.

The AA says the government’s decision to implement changes to the Warrant of Fitness regime will save motorists at least $160 million a year. Next year the government will introduce changes to the system in two phases that will see light vehicles registered from 1 January 2000 requiring an annual WoF check while cars less than three years old will not need a WoF at all. Currently cars, motorcycles, caravans and trailers older than six years require a new WoF every six months but on 1 January 2014 the first phase of the new WoF system will begin which will see cars first registered anywhere in the world between 2004 and 2008 requiring a WoF every 12 months. Light vehicles first registered between 2000 and 2003 will be eligible for a 12 month WoF from 1 July 2014. Those registered before 1 January 2000 will continue to require a WoF every six months. Following an initial inspection, new cars will not require a WoF for three years.

lected the Top School competition in the boys section, while their girls team was placed third overall. Earlier this year the Waiuku team competed at the North Island Champs where the Junior Boys Relay Team finished second, represented by Cameron Lamont, Scott Scobie and Brendan Te Kanawa, and this same team also competed at the Auckland Secondary School event this year and collected another second placing. At the New Zealand Champs the Waiuku College team consisted of Scott Scobie, Kurtis Shuker, and Brendon Te Kanawa, the trio winning the New Zealand Secondary School Junior Boys Relay Championship Event Waiuku College also won the Award for Most points overall for Small Schools – Boys Section, which was based on the great results from all the boys that ran, including Scott, Kurtis, and Brendon, along with runs from runs from Cameron and Aaron. Kurtis Shuker also received a third placing in the Long Course Junior Boys Individual Run. Waiuku College says it is very proud of the effort by the four boys at the national schools championship, noting this is the first year they have competed, and adding that to come away with a national title is a huge effort. The Waiuku team gave special thanks to their coach Ross Brighouse and managers Jo Scobie and Mark Scobie, for all the time and effort they have put into developing the successful squad

New Steelers signings The Counties Manukau Steelers have signed Chiefs hooker Hika Elliot and new outside back Sione Molia. Steelers’ coach Tana Umaga said “Hika’s leadership and experience will be highly valued by our team especially with key players Tim Nanai-Williams and Mahonri Schwalger out. We are fortunate to have someone of Hika’s calibre available to us at this late stage.” Hika Elliot is looking forward to his new challenge “I am looking forward to a new environment and passing on my knowledge to the forward pack and the team.” Nineteen year old Sione Molia from the Karaka Club has been bought in as a replacement for Tim Nanai-Williams who is recovering from a groin operation. Molia is rapt with his opportunity to wear the red, black and white jersey. “I have grown up looking up to these boys and now I am playing with them and consider myself lucky to have a head coach like Tana,” said Sione. With a proven track record of fostering talent Umaga said “Sione is a young player coming through that we have had our eye one and now he has been given an opportunity. We think he is up to it and we will keep growing him.” The Steelers 2013 ITM Cup campaign officially kicks off on Thursday night in Wellington. They will also host Tasman, Taranaki, Waikato and Southland at ECOLight Stadium. The matches against Taranaki and Waikato will see afternoon rugby back at the Stadium with both of those games kicking off at 2.35pm during the weekend. Phone: 09 235 7835

Rugby winners AWA R D
103 MANUKAU RD, PUKEKOHE
Despite a season which finished with a one-point semi-final loss for Waiuku’s Premier Rugby, the club enjoyed a well-patronised prizegiving recently, with some outstanding players honoured. In the Premiers, Shane Hemi was awarded most improved, Michael Burch was named the team person of the year, and the coveted player of the year title went to Sam Cole, after a season in which he also brought up his 100th game for the red and greens. The Premier Reserves most improved was Dylan Neil, with Michael Goldfinch collecting the team player award, and Reihania Tapo was named player of the year. The Under-21s, who had a tough season with a combined, and very young, team, played some great football at times, and Max Andrew collected the most improved award, with Nick Murdock taking out the team person of the year title, while the
Waiuku Netball Draw
