Langman topsSilver Fern Laura Langman

was named Netball Waikato sportsperson of the year at their annual awards on Wednesday night.

The award comes hot on the heels of Langman being named in coach Ruth Aitken’s 12-strong team to take on Aus-tralia in the return test match at Auckland Waitakere Events Centre on Saturday, October 29.

The Te Pahu mid-court dyna-mo seems certain to be in the starting line-up after playing a starring role at wing-defence when the Trans Tasman rivals met in Australia this year.

Cycling stars Olympians Sarah Ulmer,

Peter Latham and Tim Gudsell are included in a strong Te Awamutu Sports contingent competing at this week’s na-tional cycling championships in Palmerston North.

Ulmer warmed up by com-peting against the men in Te Awamutu Sports cycling open.

By Grant JohnstonCreating a trolley for his son from

recycled materials bought at the local tip was one of the bargains that helped David Graham reach the national fi nal of the search for the country’s ‘Bargain Champion’.

The school principal, his wife Cathy (Smith) and family moved to Puahue from Taumarunui in January.

They have enjoyed the access to natural features here like Mt Pirongia, Maunga-tautari and Lake Ngaroto - part of their strong philosophy of fi nding affordable, environmental ways to spend time to-gether as a family.

The trolley had a total cost of $6 and af-fords Michael (10) many hours of fun.

Mr Graham is one of fi ve fi nalists in the Bargain Champion competition being run by The Warehouse.

Other bargain tips the 38-year-old pro-vided to help lift him ahead of nearly all the other 5,000 competitors included uti-lising the local library to borrow jigsaws, CDs and games as well as books, growing their own vegetables and keeping chooks, visiting the Op shop as well as the recy-cling centre for bargains, shopping ‘out of season’, never grocery shopping on an empty stomach, recycling demolition wood into furniture (Cathy), using every dollar to reduce interest costs and scour-ing bargain bins.

The fi ve fi nalists headed off competition from 200 regional fi nalists to secure a place in the National Final this weekend, and a chance to compete for the title of ‘New Zealand’s Bargain Champion’ and a $50,000 one-year spending spree.

Although the top prize is a one-year $50,000 spending spree at The Ware-house, the four runners-up will also walk away with a $5,000 spree.

In order to get this far, the Bargain Champion fi nalists had to prove they were smart and savvy shoppers, living life to the full on a budget.

They were hand-picked by the team of Bargain Champion judges – TV person-alities Mary Lambie and Sophie Gray, Stephen Tindall, founder of The Ware-house and Raewyn Fox, executive offi cer of the New Zealand Federation of Family Budgeting Services.

Mary Lambie said, “These fi ve proved to us that with careful planning and a bit of creative fl air you can live stylishly and well without breaking the budget.”

Raewyn Fox said, “The fi ve fi nalists clearly demonstrated how they use budg-eting strategies to help them get the most out of life” and Sophie Gray congratulated the fi ve for “using smart thinking and clever ideas to ensure they can still have fun and enjoy life’s little indulgences.”

The winner will be announced on Sat-urday.

No more carnage please!The Te Awamutu Courier would like

Thursday’s edition not to feature a crash from within our district.

The latest serious crash occurred Thursday morning when the driver of a Toyota Dyna light commercial failed to take a left hand bend on Kakaramea Road, left the road on the wrong side, clipped and broke a power pole and fl ipped onto its side in a paddock.

The driver was freed through the windscreen and taken to Waikato Hos-pital with minor injuries.

Police say the driver was lucky not to be more seriously injured.

He hit the power pole on the passen-ger’s side and oncoming traffi c managed to avoid the out of control vehicle.

Constable Mark Strongman said it was due to the good driving of motorists driving to the conditions that more vehi-cles were not involved. The road was wet and slippery at the time.

Emergency workers have been busier than usual recently.

It was the second crash on State High-way 39 in two days, and the third in the area this month where live lines have been brought down and poles have had to be replaced.

The Courier has featured four serious crashes in our last three editions, and we think that is too many.

Maihiihi School recently held a ‘Cuts for CanTeen day’ to raise money and the profi le of CanTeen.

CanTeen is an organisation that supports young people living with can-cer and their families.

As a school our aim was to assist our children to realise that some children are living with a daily battle and to realise that we as a community could do something towards supporting and helping children with cancer.

Being a rural school we enlisted the support of rural bank managers from ASB, Westpac, BNZ, Rabobank and National banks, along with auctioneer Willie Berkers from L.J. Hooker.

We invited Lance Smith, our police education offi cer and local accountants to join us for the day.

All guests offered their hair up for auction to the Maihiihi community.

We raised $8,500 from our auction, clipper cuts and selling bandanas.

Thank you to our guests for your hair, our community for your support and the Te Awamutu Courier for your assistance in promoting our day.

To the people who took our park bench seat from our front garden:

I hope that you enjoy it as much as we did.

I needed that seat as I have a bad leg

and need to rest while gardening.We are two pensioners and can’t re-

place this seat so if you feel like return-ing it, that would be great.

Otherwise, please take care of it

and paint it every year to keep it pre-served.

Pacifi c Aerospace delivers agricultural version of 750 XLWaipa business Pacifi c Aer-

ospace Corporation (PAC) has delivered the world’s newest topdressing aircraft.

The fi rst agricultural ver-sion of the 750 XL, under development for a year at PAC’s Mystery Creek plant, was delivered on Friday to

the Taumarunui Aerial Co-operative - which has backed the original concept of the aircraft and PAC’s ability to deliver.

The new topdresser will deliver greater loads of high analysis fertilisers (like urea) at lower costs and higher

speed than other topdressers.It can also double as a fi re

bomber in New Zealand and overseas markets.

The new aircraft builds on PAC’s 52-year history in agri-cultural aircraft design, start-ing with the Fletcher in the 1950s and then the Cresco.

PAC Managing Director Brian Hare says the aircraft, which sells for about NZ$1.8 million, will also appeal be-cause, when later sold, it can be converted for use as a com-muter, freight or sky diving aircraft. PAC will for the fi rst time offer buyers fi nance.

PAGE 3Te Awamutu Courier, Tuesday, October 25, 2005

By Cathy AsplinLocal illustrator Deb Hinde will

be joined by Manawatu farmer Kim Riley at Paper Plus Te Awamutu on Saturday to promote their latest collaboration.

The pair are responsible for the picture book ‘Cow Power’ which was released in 2004 and now its sequel ‘Baby Cow Power’.

Cow Power is the true story of how Cow 569 rescued Riley from a raging fl ood in the Manawatu.

At the time of the fl ood, 569 was pregnant and Baby Cow Power tells the story of 569’s calf, which was named Tuggy Buoy following a newspaper competition.

The bull calf was auctioned at the A&P show, raising a staggering $2150 for Plunket, then went on to live at the animal park ‘Owlcatraz’.

Both books will be available at Paper Plus on Saturday, where people can meet the author and il-lustrator from 10.30 - 12 noon.

Hinde has dedicated her artwork in Baby Cow Power to Wharepapa South School staff, children and community for their help further-ing her ‘understanding’ of cows.

It has been a busy year for the artist. She has illustrated ‘Santa’s

Kiwi Christmas’ by Maria Farrer, which will be in stores in time for Christmas.

Her previous Christmas book, ‘A Kiwi Night Before Christmas’ has been re-released with a four track CD and she is working on illustra-tions for 2005 Joy Cowley award winner Kyle Mewburn’s new book which is due for release next year.

Paper Plus Te Awamutu has pro-

vided a copy of Baby Cow Power to give away to one lucky reader.

To enter the draw simply name the number of the cow that stars in ‘Cow Power’. Don’t forget to include your name, address and contact phone number.

Send to Te Awamutu Courier (PO Box 1) or email cathy.asplin@teawamutucourier.co.nz. Entries close at 4pm, Thursday.

By Grant JohnstonA proposal to be discussed at today’s

Waipa District Council monthly meeting seemingly presents a win-win situation for Waipa.

If it goes ahead it could see $650,000 advanced to Maungatautari Ecological Island Trust by Waikato Regional Council, to allow the Trust’s project momentum to be maintained.

This amount represents the balance of the $1 million pledged for the extension and upgrade of tracks on the mountain by Waipa District Council, originally to be paid at the rate of $100,000 per annum

over 10 years. But the new ‘deal’ would see Waikato

Regional Council stump up the $650,000 now, on the understanding that Waipa pays instead the $100,000 plus interest per annum towards proposed work on Waipa’s peat lakes over coming years.

The District Council and the Regional Council are parties to a Waipa Peat Lakes Accord and the Regional Council is com-mitted to providing Waipa with money from its regional National Heritage Fund over several years to purchase land and carry out work to preserve Waipa’s peat lakes.

The proposal is a compromise solution to a request made by Maungatautari Ecologi-cal Island Trust to Council for an advance on the funds Council had committed to provide from reserve contribution levies that will be collected over coming years.

To date $250,000 of the $l million com-mitted has been given to the Trust, with another $100,000 intended for this fi nan-cial year.

The Trust requested the funds early to provide the cashfl ow it needs to avoid a break in the work that would see the loss of contractors to other work and delay the completion of its pest-proof fence.

An offer to assist by the Waikato Region-al Council led to the reciprocal agreement proposal.

Council staff have recommended to today’s meeting that: “A memorandum of Understanding between Council and the Regional Council be approved to establish a funding arrangement in the order of $650,000 for a Waipa peat lakes restora-tion programme and the Maungatautari Ecological Island Trust fencing project”.

The report to the meeting states “The ar-rangement solves a problem for the Trust and guarantees a good programme of work for Waipa’s peat lakes”.

Regent Theatre a living museum

By Dean TaylorIt’s fair to say I’m a real fan of

Te Awamutu’s Regent Theatres. I love the mix of old and new,

and the stadium style seating, and half-time (not that I need any more icecreams) and the lavishness etc. etc.

And I have said it before, we are lucky to have such a com-plex in a small town.

While other theatres in towns are closing, the Regent is ex-panding.

Latest United Kingdom fi gures show there is an aver-age of 5.6 screens for every 100,000 population. Here in Te Awamutu it is fi ve screens for under 10,000 people.

Not only is the new screen a boost for movie-goers, but the extra space means more col-lectables and memorabilia from owner Allan Webb’s collection can go on display.

Original posters dating back to the 1930’s and 1940’s are mounted alongside those of some of today’s blockbusters.

Photos of movie stars, signed photos of New Zealand movie business notables and photos of some of the lost regional theatres, including a restored interior shot of our own Empire Theatre, grace the walls of the new foyer.

Mr Webb has again spared no expense on the development, spending in excess of $300,000 on state of the art projection and sound equipment, the best theatre seating specially made by Australian company Fagaleo (worth $590 per bum), special curtaining and restoration of artefacts from Te Kuiti’s Em-press Theatre to give it some charm.

He says there are many peo-ple in Te Awamutu who have

combined their knowledge and experience to make this a suc-cessful project.

Mr Webb is over the moon with the result, saying what has been achieved is comparable to

the best in the world, especially considering the new theatre has been built in a confi ned space and represents a change of use from the previous retail devel-opment.

REGENT regular Mary Waite checks some of the newly presented movie memorabilia on display in the new part of the Regent Cinema complex. 298055AD

The Royal New Zealand SPCA is to seek a ban on the sale of fi reworks, other than for licensed public displays.

“This is one of the fi rst issues we plan to discuss with the new government. We will be seek-ing assistance from the New Zealand Fire Service and other agencies to achieve a ban by Guy Fawkes Night 2006,’ says SPCA national chief executive Robyn McDonald.

“Every year, the period around November 5th, is a time of ter-ror and danger for countless domestic and farm animals. The unsupervised use of fi reworks is

also dangerous to humans and particularly to children, while also posing a signifi cant threat to property.

“Many animal species, includ-ing dogs, cats and horses, have far more acute hearing than humans. The loud screeches and explosions produced by fi reworks, along with the bright fl ashing lights, will often cause animals to bolt in panic. As a re-sult, many get lost or are killed or injured in road accidents.

“Even if they don’t bolt, the fright can have severe or even fatal consequences, particularly for older animals or those with

heart conditions,” she says. Ms McDonald adds that the

dangers to humans and to prop-erty from irresponsible fi rework usage are also considerable.

“In the weeks leading up to November 5 last year, there were cases of young people in-jured by fi reworks, letter boxes blown up by sparkler bombs, a school classroom burnt to the ground and residential property set on fi re.

“It’s clearly time to tackle this issue seriously and make sure our children, property and animals are all kept safe,” she says.

Great chance to view classy country gardens

If you’re looking for some great inspiration for your gar-den, or simply want a good day out, try the 2005 Ngahinapouri School Home and Garden Ram-ble on November 13.

With 16 properties in the Ngahinapouri-Paterangi-Ruku-hia area open for viewing, there’s sure to be something to interest everyone.

Five homes are open this year - including new homes with some of the latest trends, a French-style house that oozes class and an English-style home that was built to incorporate

previously planted trees.There are some stunning gar-

dens, ranging from established, formal and traditional gardens to casual, modern and low-main-tenance varieties.

Water features, ponds, pools, outdoor entertainment areas, terraced sites and potagers are all features to look out for dur-ing the ramble.

Readers of the New Zealand Gardener magazine will recog-nise the Meadways Road garden that was featured in the August edition.

The magazine noted ‘There

is texture, style and drama at every turn.’

Displays on site include pot-tery, woodwork, barbecues, outdoor furniture, lavender products, mosaics and garden sheds.

For the guests there are also options to enjoy on the way around - coffee and cake, wine and cheese or barbecue food.

There will be raffl es sold at some sites as well.

Tickets for the ramble ($15) are available from the Ngahinapouri School offi ce (ph 07 825 2701).

INVITING: One of properties open to stroll through in the Ngahinapouri School Garden ramble.

The orange arrow hats and fl uoro vests are ready but where are the volunteers?

The Royal New Zealand Foun-dation of the Blind (RNZFB) still urgently needs thousands of volunteers to hit the streets and collect for the annual Blind

Week appeal this week.“While many volunteers

have already kindly put aside a few hours to collect we still need many more and the suc-cess of the campaign depends on it,” says Dianne Armstrong, RNZFB group manager, region-

al fundraising. Fundraising target is $1.1

million. To donate a few hours of your time during Blind Week call 0800 002 345 to speak to your nearest regional fundraising manager or visit www.rnzfb.org.nz.

Volunteers still needed for RNZFB appeal

Tight fi nish to open

It has been confi rmed that this year’s 75th Royal NZ Show will host the Trans Tasman Sheep Dog trials.

The two teams comprising of four handlers with dogs from each coun-try will go head to head to determine the top three placings for the fi nal in Levin in January 2006.

On Sunday October 3 this group of outstanding dog trialists will meet in the ring supported by Purina Tux during the fi nal day of the show.

Jim Keyte, show manager says it is really exciting for the A and P

aspect of the show. “We have ensured that we have

top family entertainment for the public at a reasonable cost, but on top of this we have some of the best of our rural heritage coming to com-pete from both sides of the Tasman.

“The fact that this year we are celebrating the 75th Royal New Zealand Show, this brings an addi-tional focus on high standards and exceptional quality. I think this year we will prove that we are once again up to the challenge!”

The Business Development Centre - a subsidiary of the Waikato region’s economic de-velopment agency, The Katolyst Group - has launched a range of fee-based business support programmes available to all small and medium enterprises in Waikato and Waipa districts.

The fi ve fee-based services on offer aim to help start-ups as well as businesses looking to reach the next level of growth.

Services available from the Business Development Centre (BDC) include both one-on-one coaching and group workshops.

Previously, the Business De-velopment Centre’s main focus was to deliver government-funded programmes to only those businesses stipulated in annual funding contracts.

Sandra Perry, CEO of the Business Development Centre,

says diversifying into a new market gives the BDC a chance to practice what it preaches.

“For 15 years, our business consultants have told our cli-ents to take advantage of oppor-tunities in the market through diversifi cation,” she says.

“After helping thousands of businesses, you might say we’re taking our own advice.

“About a year ago, the BDC re-alised there was an opportunity to replicate some of the services that we were only able to offer a limited number of businesses eligible for our Government-subsidised programmes,” Mrs Perry says.

“Now, we’ve opened up a larger market by creating a new product line.”

Katolyst CEO, Graham Smith, says businesses taking advantage of the business start-

up and growth services will realise dual benefi ts.

“Businesses will gain two advantages by utilising BDC’s new fee-based services.

“First of all, they can fi nally gain access to quality pro-grammes that were previously restricted under the Govern-ment stipulations.

“And, secondly, profi ts from these services will be invested back into economic develop-ment programmes, providing benefi ts to the wider regional community.

“So, businesses taking advan-tage of BDC’s new fee-based support services can help themselves and the regional economy,” Mr Smith says.

The BDC will continue de-livering Government-funded programmes alongside its suite of fee-based services.

Services on offer to Waipa businesses

Grey matter got real workout

Don Bethune, a well-known proponent of the Social Credit economic and fi nancial system, ex-plained the intricacies of it to Grey Power members at their October meeting.

He began by explaining that in any philosophical system there are two major types, which he classi-fi ed as the art and the scientifi c spheres.

The former, he says relies on the opinions of the experts. The latter relies on practical, demon-strated proof.

He places the economic theory of Social Credit in the scientifi c sphere, since he believes it works and backs this belief with proof from the success of the system in Alberta, Canada, that it can and does work.

Put simply, the theory says that because the amount of money available under capitalism is necessarily lower than the total cost of goods pro-duced, there will always be insuffi cient money to pay a realistic, sustainable price.

The founder of the system, a Major Douglas demonstrated this by what he called ‘The A plus B Theorem’. It says that if A represents the payments made to all the consumers in the economy, (wages, dividends, interest paid to banks), and B repre-sents the payments made by producers, which are not eventually paid out to consumers, (overheads, costs of buildings and items of equipment as they wear out), then the prices charged for goods must amount to a combination of A+B, an impossibility since only A is available to spend.

So there will always be a gap, which, under the current system, is fi lled by debt. Douglas believed that Social Credit could fi x this problem by ensur-ing that there’d always be enough money (credits) to buy all the goods that could be produced.

Mr Bethune believes that the fi rst Labour Gov-ernment (1936-50) came very close to implement-ing Social Credit theories, raising our country’s rating in the per capita Gross National Product world ratings from 300th to third, bringing it from Depression to prosperity.

He made the point that, currently, over 97% of all ‘money’ in existence in New Zealand is money borrowed from foreign-owned banks

Mr Bethune also spoke about the viability of Citizens Initiated Binding Referenda.

He deplores the current Government’s view that a referendum is indicative, not binding.

Relay for Life 2006 launchRelay for Life 2006 will be launched to the

Waikato community at the Ferrybank Reception Centre in Hamilton on Wednesday, November 2 from 5.30 pm- 7pm.

The evening will start with light refreshments and will be an opportunity for interested teams to fi nd out more information on Relay for Life, register for the event and pick up their team kits.

During the 24 hour event on the weekend of March 11-12, 2006 team members will take turns walking or running laps around Porritt Stadium to raise funds for research and support services for lo-cal people affected by cancer.

This will be Relay for Life’s third appearance at Porritt Stadium thanks to the success achieved by the Waikato community over the past two years, in-cluding a number of teams from Te Awamutu.

Last year over 1600 participants raised over $230,000 for local people affected by cancer and this year the Waikato/Bay of Plenty Cancer Society hopes to do even better.

Event co-ordinator Erin Brown says Relay for Life is a team event and people of all ages and abilities can join in and show their support and remember loved ones.

If you would like to attend the launch contact the Cancer Society on 07 838 2027 or email events@cancersociety.org.nz.

Massage practitioner works from family clinic IN BUSINESS CIRCLES

Nicole Ryan is well aware of what its like to be on your feet and on the go.

With 12 years in education - as a kindergarten teacher, pre-school teacher and play specialist at Waikato Hospital - she knows all too well how tiring it is to be constantly moving all day.

Since 1997 she has also juggled studies in the health fi eld, including aromatherapy, massage, homeobo-tanical therapy, fi tness instruction, Pilates and sport massage.

During that time she has worked with New Zealand sportspeople, including aerobics, curling, cycling and wrestling team members.

Leaving the teaching behind, Miss Ryan now works full time as a mas-sage therapist, as well as teaching Pilates and instructing at a fi tness centre.

Her business ‘Ambience’ operates from the Te Awamutu Family Chiro-practic clinic on Albert Park Drive.

Services include massage for health, sports massage, massage for relaxation, massage during pregnancy, corporate packages for staff wellbeing, wellness workshops, active movement workshops for parents and preschoolers, nutrition advice and on-site chair massages for local businesspeople.

Miss Ryan says massage is benefi -cial for health, sport, relaxation or an improved lifestyle.

Massage isn’t just for relaxation, its part of living in a healthy body and mind,

“Massage should be part of every persons wellness plan, as life places stress on our joints, muscles and overall well being.”

She says the benefi ts of massage include increased blood fl ow and circulation, repair of body cells, pro-motes waste excretion, heightens activity in the skin, reduces muscle tension, relives pain, improves lung function and promotes positive en-ergy fl ow.

“Massage is a key ingredient in

maintaining health and mobility in all of us.”

Sessions may be booked for half hour, one hour or 1 1/2 hours for a full body massage. Times are fl ex-ible, to work around client’s com-mitments.

For further details about massage services, natural health remedies, pre-school active workshops or Pilates contact Miss Ryan via the Te Awamutu Family Chiropractic clinic (ph 870 6673).

TA girls integral part of gun team

By Colin ThorsenA coach and four players from Te

Awamutu have been infl uential in St Peter’s 1st XI girls’ soccer team enjoying their most successful sea-son on record.

The local players, coached by Andrew Ryan, are Year 9 student Brogan Mathieson, Helen Collins (Year 12), Jenna Knight (Year 13) and Rachel Campbell (Year 12), a boarder at St Peter’s School in Cam-bridge, who plays for Te Awamutu women’s fi rst team.

During the course of the season, the girls played 29 games, winning 21, drawing four and losing four. They scored 77 goals and conceded 41.

Team captain Helen Collins scored a staggering 45 goals in 29 games, despite having two or three girls marking her each game.

She has been training with the New Zealand women’s elite devel-opment squad, and was recently selected in both the New Zealand under-19 and secondary schools’ teams.

After winning the fi rst round of the Waikato Bay of Plenty wide pre-mier secondary schools’ league, St Peter’s went one point clear in the top four playoff round.

Tauranga Girls have since de-faulted to Hillcrest, meaning Hill-crest win the league, with St Peter’s having to settle for second.

St Peter’s went one better winning the knockout cup, beating Tauranga Girls (fi fth best in country), Hillcrest (NZ3), Te Aroha, Hamilton Girls

High (NZ2) and Waikato Diocescan in the fi nal.

Helen Collins scored from 25 me-ters to win the fi nal 1-0.

St Peter’s also qualifi ed for the national premier secondary schools’ tournament for the fi rst time in Napier.

The team’s second top goal scorer Brogan Mathieson had the misfor-tune to break her ankle in the fi rst game.

Her team only lost once during the tournament - to the eventual win-ners, Wellington East Girls College.

The loss saw St Peter’s miss out on the Top Eight on goal difference.

The girls battled through the second section of eight to fi nish a creditable 10th in the country.

There were 28 teams at the pre-mier national tournament.

Ryan says Brogan Mathieson is an exciting young striker, with blinding pace and composure in front of goal.

“She has done particularly well as a year nine girl in an open grade.

“Jenna Knight has been a tower of strength at the back, stopping many opposing raids and scoring two goals from fullback against Hillcrest.

“Rachel Campbell is another ex-citing fullback, with an excellent eye for the game and a precise pass.

“Injury unfortunately curtailed her premier tournament.”

Ryan says there is an exciting fu-ture for girls’ soccer at St Peter’s.

“The team should be able to build on this year’s acheivements in 2006, with Mathieson, Campbell and Col-lins all returning next year.”

Basketball champs

Kina Boys and Powa Chill won their respective men’s and women’s winter league bas-ketball championships at Te Awamutu Events Centre.

The men’s fi nal between Fighting Irish and Kina Boys was a physical, nail-biting af-fair, well controlled by visiting referees from Hamilton.

Kina Boys ran out the win-ners by a solitary point, 26-25.

Jason McGrath had an op-portunity to send the game into extra time but missed a crucial free throw right on fulltime.

In the men’s semi-fi nals, Fighting Irish accounted for Arohena 44-31, while Kina Boys eliminated S.R.B. Ltd 42-31.

S.R.B. Ltd were without their play-maker Stuart Rose, who was sidelined with injury.

The Keri-Lyn Rangi led Powa Chill team were too strong for Weta in the women’s fi nal, win-ning 67-20.

Naomi Hiakita stood out with her power shooting, while oth-ers to shine were Erana Sev-erne, Kimberly Grimmer and Anastacia Cuthers.

There were no suprises in the women’s semi-fi nals - Powa Chill swept aside Satellites 66-24, while Weta had a tougher time getting past Converts 29-22.

Powa Chill’s Naomi Hiakita took out the senior women’s

most valuable player award.The men’s M.V.P. award went

jointly to Nick Rangi (CI Na-tives) and Shane Naylor (Fight-ing Irish).

Arohena’s Rhett Yates took out the men’s evergreen player award, while Robyn Bowers (Converts) collectes the wom-en’s.

Most improved teams were CI Natives (men) and Cirrus (women).

The participation award went to College Juniors.

TA golfers pull off rare win at Otaki

A six-strong Te Awamutu golf team pulled off the seemingly impossible - winning the Te Awataki Shield off their Otaki counterparts on their home course.

“It’s been a long time between drinks for us,” says team spokesperson Colin Green.

“It’s only our third win in eight years. We manage to win our share of the fi xtures at home but have tendered to struggle down there.”

Te Awamutu prevailed with a combined tally of 205 stableford to Otaki’s 193. Doug Syme led the way with 38, followed by John Hickey, John Mitchell and Norm Brown on 35, Green 32 and George Vanner 30.

The match between the two clubs is held annually in conjunction with the Rail Industries NZ tournament.

As host clubs, Te Awamutu and Otaki are invited by the Railway organisers to enter six players from each club as guests of their tournament - hence the introduc-tion of the Te Awataki Shield, donated by the late Arthur and Marjorie Thomas.

Te Awamutu’s victory was capped by team member Co-lin Green holing-in-one on the 12th hole of 146 metres.

It was his fourth ace in all, having managed the feat three times at Te Awamutu - on the 11th hole in 1970, 14th in 1992 and fi fth in 1999.

Further success went Te Awamutu’s way on the Sun-day at Otaki when Hickey (40 points), Mitchell (38), Syme, Vanner (37) all collected trophies.

Sports cyclists gearing up for Southland Tour

Te Awamutu Sports’ cyclists Peter Latham and Tim Gudsell have been named in a strong team for next month’s Tour of Southland.

The two Olympians will ride alongside last year’s winner John Lieswyn (US), world track champion Greg Henderson and US-based Waikato rider Glen Mitchell in the Southland Times team.

Latham and Gudsell both rode the tour last year but were in different teams.

Gudsell was a member of the victorious South-land Times team, while Latham won the time trial stage and the overall under-23 title as a member of the Rabobank team.

The tour starts in Invercargill on Monday, No-vember 7 and fi nishes back in the city six days later.

Cyclists setting hot pace in road series

Local knowledge helped Jim Baird and Doug Barrass triumph when Te Awamutu Bowling Club hosted the annual Waikato fi ve years and under optional tournament on Sunday.

Eighteen teams, including one from Tairua, played four games of eight ends on

excellent greens.After the third round,

three teams had three wins each.

The team of Dave McPherson and Peter Judson (Putaruru) were held to a draw after the opposing skip trailed the jack with his last bowl.

In a three-end playoff, Lindsay Calkin and

Dave Silva (Leaming-ton) were beaten 2-1 by Baird and Barrass.

The local team of Jean Baird and Lois Knight recorded three wins.

Both these players, along with Raye Baucke (Pirongia), have been named in the fi ve years and under (playing experience) Waikato

FUTURE PROOFING NGOS Non government organisations are taking an increasing role in the provision of social services, especially in the health and disability sector. A key part of an NGO’s sustainability is to predict the future needs and trends and the likely changes in the environment that we operate in. With this in mind Graceland’s has invited Robin Gunston, Chairperson of the NZ Futures Trust to be the keynote speaker at Graceland’s Annual Public Reporting Forum. As part of Graceland’s Reporting to our vested interest groups we invite you to the following:

� Wednesday October 26 at 7.30pm at Taylor’s Restaurant, 411 Greenhill Drive, Te Awamutu � Keynote Speaker: Robin Gunston Chairperson of the NZ Futures Trust � Supper Robin is particularly active in community futures, and is interested in education and new technology futures. He has been active in consulting for the Trust as the adviser to the FuturePath Canterbury, a 50 year visioning project for the entire province, to the Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment. He has recently completed a community engagement seminar series with Steven Ames from Portland, Oregon and other NZ speakers to raise awareness of the need for forming community visions in line with the proposed Local Government Bill.

This is a public forum and open to any interested parties.

Te Awamutu Courier and Tracs give readers the chance to win a copy of Missy Elliott’s ‘The Cook-book’.

Now with six albums under her belt, Melissa ‘Missy’ Elliott shows no signs of turning down the heat with this sizzling ‘Cookbook’.

With old pal Timbaland in tow, Missy recruits a Who’s Who of talent, including the ubiquitous Neptunes, Fantasia, Ciara, Mary J. Blige, Slick Rick, Mia and Lil Kim, among others.

Starting with a humorous skit introducing the guest artistes, the album opens, literally, with ‘Joy’, featuring Mike Jones, and produced by Timbaland. The lead off single ‘Lose Control’

featuring Ciara and Fat Man Scoop is a dance-friendly fun track, as infectious as Gwen Stefani’s ‘Hollaback Girl’.

Another hot track is ‘On and On’ produced by The Neptunes. Other picks being ‘We Run This’ which samples that `80s staple ‘Apache’, ‘Bad Man’ a Jamaican dance hall anthem featuring Vybez Cartel and Mia and ‘Teary Eyed’ produced by Warryn Campbell.

Her slower tracks simmer, but still burn, especially the sensual but X-rated ‘Meltdown’.

Brutally honest, funny and sometimes salty, Missy’s cookbook is a sure-fi re bestseller.

To be in to win simply put

your name, address and daytime contact number on the back of a standard sized envelope, address it to the ‘Missy Elliott Competi-tion’ and make sure it reaches our offi ce by 5pm Thursday.

Missy cooks up a storm

World’s Fastest Indian

Screen Daily.com calls the fi lm “a natural born winner through and through”

Anthony Hopkins ob-viously enjoyed every minute of his perform-ance as motorcycle legend Burt Munro, displaying an unself-consciousness all too rare for him.

“Seeing old Hanni-bal Lecter launch into a joyful jig when he is fi nally told he can race after all is simple, spontaneous pleasure ... and a pleasure to behold.”

Like all road movies, it was really a series of encounters, taking

Munro from one cheer-ful, sympathetic char-acter to another.

“That they are never less than pleasant only refl ects the positive as-pect of Munro himself, who sees no evil in others because there is no evil or deceit in himself.”

“The world may not be like that any more. Maybe it never was. Who cares? At least it’s nice to believe in it, if only for a couple of hours.”

The Age called In-dian a genuine heart-warmer.

The review said Hop-kins plays Munro “with such affection, convic-tion and attention to detail you could swear blind he was a Kiwi; nobody could resist him.

“The World’s Fastest Indian will not change anyone’s world, but it may leave them feeling better about the place.”

Dark WaterBased on a fi lm by

the creators of the Japanese version of ‘The Ring’ comes this haunting, chilling fi lm about a young mother who goes to extreme lengths to solve a mys-tery and protect her daughter.

Dahlia Williams (Jennifer Connelly) is starting a new life; newly separated with a new job and a new apartment, she’s deter-mined to devote herself to raising her daugh-ter, Ceci.

But when the strained separation disintegrates into a

bitter custody battle, her situation takes a turn for the worse. Her new apartment - di-lapidated, cramped and worn - seems to take on a life of its own.

Mysterious noises, persistent leaks of dark water and strange happenings cause her to imagination to run wild, sending her on a puzzling and mystify-ing pursuit to fi nd out who is behind the end-less mind games.

As Dahlia frantically searches for the links between the riddles, the dark water seems to close around her. But one thing trumps all others in Dahlia’s world: no matter what it is that’s out there, she’ll stop at nothing to fi nd it.

This supernatural fantasy horror fi lm re-make should provide plenty of goose bumps.

The veteran Brazil-ian director Salles ‘(Central Station’, ‘The Motorcycle Diaries’), a proven story and a great cast should make for a horror hit.
