BRIEFLYRossi team rests at Roadhouse
Multiple world motorcycle champion Valentino Rossi wasted no time getting to know Waikato’s back roads ahead of tomorrow’s New Zealand stage of the WRC.
Driving a Subaru Impreza for the second time in a world rally event, Rossi arrived in the coun-try on Tuesday and helicoptered straight to the Waikato to try the various stages. The Italian star is pictured above enjoying lunch with his crew at the Oparau Roadhouse on Tuesday.
Cow pat bingoTickets ($5) are now on sale
for ‘Cow Pat Bingo’ which will be held on the Christmas ‘Light Up Night’ (Friday, December 1). They are available from Playmates III and the Jewellery Boutique.
The winner will be decided by ‘Daisy’ at ANZAC Green from 6pm. Proceeds help towards the Christmas Spirit programme which is being run by Te Awamutu Alive.
Curlers take titleWaikato Rockers curling team,
skipped by Te Awamutu’s 2006 Winter Olympian Lorne DePape, have won the Auckland Curling Club’s annual Open Bonspie.
The Rockers beat Team Bauer 9-2 in the fi nal at the Paradice Ice Rink in Avondale. Both teams were unbeaten in their respec-tive pools to qualify for the fi nal.
Teams travelled from as far away as Dunedin and Alexandra, (the two-time defending champi-ons), to compete in the event.
“It’s an extra special feeling for our team to win the Bonspiel this year, since it is part of the Club’s 10th anniversary celebrations,” said DePape.
“Hans Frauenlob (also a 2006 New Zealand Olympian) and I were involved in founding the Auckland Curling Club in 1996.
“It’s great to see how much growth there has been in curling in the Auckland region in a rela-tively short time.”
Honouring service to youth
Patricia Adam - Outstanding Lifetime Contribution
In 43 years as a parent and, later, grandpar-ent help at Kawhia Primary School, Patricia Adam reckons she’s only ever missed three or four days. Five days a week, fi ve-and-a-half hours a day, you’ll fi nd her there, reading to children or listening to them read, and gener-ally lending the teachers a hand.
She started helping at the school when her own children were young and has never left.
“These days I’m reading to children, whose parents I also read to when they were young,” she says.
“The principal calls me the school’s unique, antique piece of furniture, because they’ll never fi nd another Aunty Pat.”
Aunty Pat (as everyone calls her) is not only well-known in the school, she is a backbone of the Kawhia community. A scout leader, welfare offi cer for the Maori Women’s Welfare League, and founder member of many local clubs, she is always part of whatever’s going on.
Currently she manages the town’s junior rugby teams, where she tries to encourage team spirit and sportsmanship, and can often be seen joining in the game.
“Sometimes a child from another school will say, but she can’t play, she’s old, but my kids always reply, no she’s not, she’s Aunty Pat.”
Hinga and Lloyd Whiu and whanau - Outstanding Teamwork
Hinga and Lloyd Whiu and their whanau are Te Karito Kura Wananga – an innovative and entertaining performing arts company deliver-ing quality bilingual productions for youth.
From Te Hapua in the far north, to Bluff in the deep south, the whanau has performed its high energy show of song, dance and story-telling in over 1500 education venues to over 135,000 students.
Te Karito’s productions are based around the legends of Maui, combining traditional and con-temporary performing arts to convey positive health messages and ideals.
Through their work, the Whiu whanau pro-vides a strong role model both for rangatahi (youth) and for families, providing a dynamic example of committed and involved parenting.
But Lloyd and Hinga’s community involve-ment doesn’t stop with Te Karito. They run wa-nanga for rangatahi throughout the Waikato, teaching traditional Maori performing arts such as haka, mau-rakau (Maori martial arts using weaponry) and poi, as well as contempo-rary art forms such as hip hop. They are also heavily involved with the Kawhia community and their marae, and are effective advocates for iwi and the importance of providing local solu-tions for local people.
Sue O’Brien (of Te Awamutu) and Te Kuiti Youth Centre - Innovative Service
Taking a group of youth to Rwanda to partici-pate in the international Hope Rwanda project may seem a daunting task, but Te Kuiti Youth Centre co-ordinator Sue O’Brien wasn’t fazed: in fact she thought it was a great idea from the moment she fi rst found out about it.
“It was a huge community effort,” she says.“And for the children who went it represented
a major achievement, both in raising the funds they needed, and in having the courage to go and see and experience a community so differ-ent from their own.”
Mrs O’Brien is known in the Te Kuiti commu-nity for the commitment and support she shows for young people. Through the youth centre she provides young people with the space, support and tools they need to grow, learn and express themselves.
But there is no stronger testament to her work than the words of the children who ac-companied her on the trip:
“Sue challenged us and made us push past our boundaries and I achieved things I never would have tried without her.”
“If Sue hadn’t been there (in Rwanda) it wouldn’t have been anywhere near as good.”
“Sue is awesome and amazing and dedicated.” What better praise could there be?
PATRICIA ADAM TAKUKOHA WHIU SUE O’BRIENSue O’Brien, Hinga and Lloyd Whiu and Patricia Adam were all recognised for their outstanding service to the community at the Trust Waikato Child and Family Awards at a gala award evening held at the Hamilton Gardens.
Ngutunui Hall about to become residenceAfter 43 spirited auction bids on
Saturday, the little used Ngutunui Hall went to a new owner with a long appreciation of the building, keen to convert it into a home.
With just one booking in the last year, the hall committee decided it was not being used enough to justify ongoing maintenance costs,
and reluctantly decided to sell. Harcourts Te Awamutu Sales
Consultant Don Pinny was invited by the committee to discuss the best way to market the property, at which point the high profi le auc-tion process was decided upon.
Te Awamutu manager Kathy Elliott said the four week market-
ing campaign resulted in ‘huge interest with most buying enquiry from Auckland, Tauranga and local people who appreciated the oppor-tunity to convert it to a residence’.
The hall’s farewell public func-tion was Saturday’s ‘packed out’ onsite auction run by Harcourts Te Awamutu owner and auctioneer,
Ken McGrath.The opening bid was very quickly
followed by a ‘bidding war’ and 43 bids later, the property was sold for $162,500 to a Cambridge buyer who has frequently used the hall carpark to stop for lunch when he was in the area on business.”

By Cathy AsplinWork by two local
artists features this month in the Baffi n Street Gallery at Pirongia.
The ‘Feather and Fern’ exhibition (which has been part of the Scream Rosetown Fes-tival) features paint-ings and prints by Bev Truloff and Hilary Ramage.
Nikau ferns are prominent in many of the works - ranging from the lush greens in Truloff ’s works to the vibrant reds in Ram-ages paintings.
More of their works also feature at the nearby Persimmon Tree Cafe.
Both are fi tting places to view the works as they have spectacular views of the b u s h - c l a d Mt Pirongia as a back-drop.
The Baffi n Street Gallery, which recently re-opened for the sum-mer months, now has an emphasis strictly
on art.During De-
cember the gallery will feature both framed and
unframed art-ists’ prints from
a number of Waikato printmakers.
January and Febru-ary exhibitions will continue the focus on printmaking with a distinctly New Zealand
feel, for the benefi t of visitors to the country.
To complement the exhibitions, the gallery has a selection of hand-made books and cards, as well as digitally pro-duced cards and prints.
The Gallery is open Sunday and Monday from 10am to 4pm or by appointment.
Contact Hilary Ram-age (ph 871 9890) for further details.

Hall auctionFrom page 1.
The committee was ‘thrilled’ with the outcome.Built of native timber in 1932 by settlers of the
district, the traditional ‘Kiwi country hall’ has a fl oor area of around 230sqm including glossy native Matai fl ooring, high stud ceilings, kitchen, stage, supper area and two toilets.
The hall is on three titles comprising of 6,437sqm of land with panoramic mountain and rural farm-land views.
Its convenient location between Otorohanga, Pirongia and Te Awamutu townships as well as be-ing on the main route to Kawhia Harbour, provided for a wide range of possibilities.
Ms Elliott speculated that based on feedback, there could be a number of little used rural halls around the country with high ongoing maintenance costs which could easily be converted as ‘the next big thing’ in rural lifestyle homes.
SunSmart reminders
The UV is rising so this SunSmart Week is here to remind us all to take care in the sun this summer.
Jo Simson, Waikato/Bay of Plenty Cancer Society spokesperson, says New Zealand’s ultraviolet ra-diation levels are amongst the highest in the world putting us at the greatest risk of skin cancer.
“Over 300 people die of skin cancer every year and the cost to the health system is more than $33 mil-lion annually.
“The Ultraviolet Index (UVI) measures UV radia-tion at the earth’s surface and can help us to know when we are at risk from the sun.”
When the UVI is low, level 5 or below, it is safe to be in the sun but when spending longer periods outside sun protection should be used. However, once the UVI is at level 6 or higher sun protection is essential. On reaching levels 9 and above it is also important to seek the shade.
“We recommend rescheduling outdoor activities to early morning or the evening when the UVI levels become extreme at 11 and above.”
She says ultraviolet radiation is at its peak in January when it can reach extreme levels as high as 14 and over exposure during these times can lead to skin cancer.
“UV levels peaks between 11am and 4pm and it during these hours that we strongly advocate SunSmart behaviours of: Slip into a long sleeved shirt and some shade, Slop on sunscreen, Slap on a hat and Wrap on sunglasses.”

soring businesses for making the awards possible.
She says this year’s judges were highly impressed with
the standard of works.Entry numbers were about on
a par with last year.Mrs StPierre says it is a posi-
tive event for the society to run as it not only gives many talent-ed local artists the opportunity to exhibit, but is a good public
relations exercise for the group.Any money raised for society
projects is a bonus.The G Net Café Art Exhibi-
tion is an annual event for cli-ents and staff of Gracelands.
The purpose is to encour-age clients and staff to grow through creative expression, and to share that with the public.
Visual arts are one of the many creative activities offered by Gracelands. Others include music and dance.
Awards are also made as part of the exhibition.

Fickle Kiwi spring weather has played its part in this year’s Scream Rosetown Festival.
Outdoor events such as the week-end’s St John’s Church Gala and Weber Bros Amusement Park were popular enough considering the potential for rain and wind.
Visitors and exhibitors at the church fair had to take cover in the early stages, but then
as the weather improved a steady stream of people took advantage of the bargains and attractions on offer.
Webers had a steady stream throughout both days, although ris-
ing winds saw them pack down early on Sunday.
Organisers say the event was well re-ceived and worth the effort.

Boy St Peter’s, Jake Bez-zant, Deputy Head Boy Cambridge High and Greg Maxted represent-ing Te Awamutu College, Waipa was awarded highly commended in the Youth Participation category.
Competition judges commented that Waipa District Council’s initia-tive in this area was ex-cellent and “it is great to recognise and applaud excellence in our young people” and that the Waipa Youth Awards were “initiated, judged and celebrated by their peers - well done”.
Waipa Mayor Alan Livingston is delighted
with the success.“The award was a
tremendous acknowl-edgement of the role that the Youth Council plays and the initia-tive and achievements of the young people in our district. Naturally the cities were at a dis-tinct advantage, and of the six awards made, only Waipa and South Taranaki were non-city Councils to feature, which refl ects further credit on our young peo-ple and our district.”
Approximately 500 delegates representing Councils throughout New Zealand attended the conference.

By Cathy AsplinAs a young child
Campbell Jull lived on the land where Cape Physio and Hamilton Radiology now oper-ate as part of the Te Awamutu Medical Cen-tre building.
Over the years Mr Jull has seen many changes to the centre (originally Gresham Clinic) and surround-ing area, including a pharmacy which once operated from a house near the Plunket rooms.
That pharmacy was operated in the 1970’s by Peter Bryant, who ran a dispensary at the front of his house on the corner of Vaile (then Herbert Street) and Roche Street.
Mr Bryant wasn’t, however, allowed to sell any other medical items so eventually he built the pharmacy premises on Teasdale Street (that was later taken over by Paddy Marshall and is now known as Unichem Marshalls Pharmacy).
That pharmacy pro-vided the fi rst chapter for a business that Mr Jull operates today and he is taking a central role in creating the next chapter, with the open-ing of a new Marshalls Pharmacy (which ad-joins the Te Awamutu Medical Centre).
Mr Jull is a co-owner, along with Matt Sher-win (pictured opposite page), of the existing pharmacy on Teasdale Street and the new one on the corner of Vaile
and Bank Streets. The Teasdale Street
building looks quite dif-ferent today to when it was fi rst built in 1978 and was known as PG Bryant’s chemist.
Extensions and al-terations drew plenty of comment during the 1980’s - the different shapes, concrete block walls and circular room with a turret.
Today that unu-sual shape causes a few problems.
“The shape and construction methods didn’t really allow for any further extensions or alterations and is quite diffi cult to work in - it has different fl oor levels, lots of small rooms and low ceilings.
“So when an oppor-tunity came to build a new dispensary adjoin-ing the Te Awamutu Medical Centre we decided it was our best
way to expand.”While it has caused a
little bit of confusion for the public, with many thinking that the old pharmacy was closing, that is not the case.
“We are continuing to operate the pharma-cies in tandem - the Teasdale Street chem-ist remains as Unichem Marshalls Pharmacy, while the new one will simply be known as Marshalls Pharmacy.
“They are linked by computer, so we can dispense medicines, fi ll prescriptions and check details at either site.
“The Unichem phar-macy has a slighter wider range of pharma-cy items, as well as the photolab, supplements, cosmetics, fragrances and gift lines etc.
“It also has the con-venience of an off-street carpark for up to 10 vehicles.”
The pharmacy adjoin-ing the medical centre removes the need to cross the busy Teasdale Street/Vaile Street in-tersection and is con-venient for fi lling new prescriptions.
It also stocks a range of medical and beauty requirements, while a new addition is the Bal-ance body performance range of supplements.
(Services and prod-ucts available at each store are outlined on the facing page.)
While signage has not yet gone up on the new store, it has been oper-ating for two weeks.
Existing and new customers are invited to pop in to view the products and services at the new pharmacy, while the Unichem pharmacy continues to provide the same friendly, helpful service it has for many years.

The success of one of last year’s more unusual calendars has resulted in a new ‘weedy’ calen-dar going to print this week.
The new calendar is being released by Weed-busters, the interagency programme working towards raising com-munity awareness about weeds.
It appears to highlight some of New Zealand’s beautiful garden plants but with a twist: each featured monthly plant is actually a weed that threatens New Zea-land’s environment or economy, degrading bush, coastal, wetlands, and tussockland areas, waterways and agricul-tural areas.
Twelve hundred of the 2006 inaugural calendar ended up in offi ces, classrooms, and homes across New Zealand, and Weedbusters expects even stronger demand for the 2007 calendar.
Weedbusters’ National Coordinator Carolyn Lewis said the 2006 calendar achieved its purpose of getting people to talk about ornamental garden plants that have the potential to ‘jump the fence’ and cause environmental damage.
“The most common comment we had on the 2006 calendar was that people didn’t realise such pretty plants could be a problem,” Ms Lewis said.
She said the second comment was ‘I didn’t realise how many weeds I had growing in my garden!’
The new 2007 calen-dar features twelve ‘de-lightful but destructive’ plants that are environ-mental weeds, including Himalayan honeysuckle, pyracantha, chameleon plant, and sweet pea shrub.
“This year we have included more informa-tion about the weeds featured in the calendar, and the problems they cause when they in-vade natural areas,” Ms Lewis said.
“We hope the calendar will encourage people to be more mindful of the plants they have in their gardens, and under-stand which plants have the potential to cause longterm damage to the health of the environ-
ment,” Ms Lewis said.The calendar is available from Weedbusters at
[email protected] is an interagency effort supported
by regional authorities and unitary authorities, and other organisations such as Biosecurity New Zealand, Biodiversity New Zealand, Landcare Re-search, Federated Farmers, NZ Landcare Trust, Nursery and Garden Industry Association, NZ Biosecurity Institute, and the NZ Plant Protection Society.
More information about weeds and control meth-ods is available on the Weedbusters web site at www.weedbusters.org.nz

One of the United Kingdom’s foremost built herit-age authorities is speaking at a free public work-shop this evening.
Nick Worlledge, Oxford City Council’s Specialist Heritage Conservationist and Planner, and one of the team responsible for the recent redevelopment and refurbishment of the 12th Century Oxford Castle (where parts of the TV series ‘Bad Girls’ was fi lmed), will talk about different aspects of heritage.
It takes place at Te Awamutu’s Waipa District Council Chambers from 5.30pm and will be followed by a light supper. Everyone is welcome to attend.
‘Handcuffed by Heritage? Historic Buildings as the Inspiration for Quality New Development - the
Oxford formula’ is the title of this evening’s talk.In particular Mr Worlledge is looking forward to
sharing his experiences incorporating new build-ings in Oxford with its dreaming spires and other historical treasures.
A thorough knowledge of building types and ar-chitectural styles ranging from the 12th through to the 21st Centuries is important particularly when working in a heritage environment like Oxford - though managing the blend of old and new is just as much an issue in New Zealand as it is in England.
“In my view, existing built heritage should be a key component informing and infl uencing the addi-tion of new buildings,” says Mr Worlledge.
“The important message is to integrate the new with the old. Many of our historic towns and cit-ies are just that - places that have evolved over centuries, and there is no reason to question why it shouldn’t be possible to continue that process. It’s like adding new chapters to the story, although it is important to avoid destroying chapters of history.”
Developing tools to engage with local communi-ties and encouraging them to take more ‘ownership’ and responsibility for managing their historic envi-ronment is another part of Mr Worlledge’s job, and he is keen to learn more about how this is done in New Zealand.
“I’ve heard about initiatives like Hamilton City Council’s CityScope strategy, and heritage studies in both Rotorua and Opotiki which the New Zealand Historic Places Trust has been closely involved in. They sound like exciting initiatives and appear to have a really good level of support from local people, which is so important,” says Mr Worlledge.
“This proactive approach seems to help address those no-win situations that plague councils in par-ticular - the perception by some people that we do too little to stop developers bringing change, or do too much to stop individual householders adapting their environment to meet their needs.”
Living and working in an internationally re-nowned heritage centre - and one of the United Kingdom’s most challenging places in which to build - brings its own set of diffi culties, or opportunities as Mr Worlledge frequently sees them.
“Often heritage buildings have added value - a premium that businesses will willingly pay as it at-tracts business. What can be more diffi cult are more recent parts of our built environment that aren’t protected - Victorian suburbs for example. These places are often treated as if they have no value.”
A related problem is the recognition and protec-tion of 20th Century buildings.
“Oxford has a healthy number of listed buildings from the 1950s and ’60s - as well as some awful ones! The key thing is that buildings don’t have to be old to be valued, and while we may not all enjoy their aesthetic qualities they should nevertheless be exemplars of the architecture of the period worthy of recognition, ” he says.
The UK takes its built heritage seriously - so much so that developers are asked to justify their proposals, rather than a system where developers challenge the authority to fi nd reasons why some-thing isn’t acceptable.

It would be a brave politician who came out in favour of Nuclear Power generation for New Zealand.
For twenty years we have been brain washed by generations of po-litical parties who have taught us ‘Nuclear bad!!’
We would see those old election clips of mushroom clouds re ap-pearing on our screens. And yet the current gov-ernment is talking itself into a corner on this is-sue; if they really want to reduce CO2 emissions into our skies at costs their electors can afford, then they are left with the only viable clean option for power generation: Nuclear.
There is talk of burying our excess CO2, caused by burning coal for electricity (technology that is twenty years off); and one must ask what is the difference between that suggestion and putting our nuclear waste in a safe environment under ground?
The answer is that there is far less of the latter. Some would argue that as we are earthquake
prone, nuclear generation would be too risky, but look at Japan, it is probably more prone to earth-quake damage than we are, and yet they rely on nuclear generation for the majority of their power needs.
Not only Japan, but Britain, USA and most Eu-ropean ones have long accepted that nuclear power is the cleanest, cheapest, safest, and may I suggest, greenest power source going; when will New Zea-land drag itself into the twenty fi rst century and face this issue?
By Chamber of Commerce executive offi cer Michael Cox.

Waikato University Senior Lectur-er Dr Raymond Richards has been involved with Te Awamutu Sports Boxing Club for three years.
Dr Richards initially joined to keep fi t and do something different apart from University life.
He had done some boxing in his younger days.
Over the past year he has been wanting to enter the ring one last time - “before I get too old,” he jokes.
The club has had fi ghts set up be-fore but they have fallen through.
It’s all on tomorrow night though.Dr Richards is stepping into the
ring at the Sky City Convention Centre.
He is appearing on the Fight Nite programme, a charity boxing event which sponsors child cancer sup-port.
The 50-year-old academic is tak-ing on an opponent who is 12 years younger.
The line-up includes former world-ranked amateur boxer Regan Foley, in his comeback fi ght, and ex-All Black Frank Bunce.
Ohaupo retained their Te Awamutu darts championship with a hard-earned 13-10 win over Ar-rows.
The two-times champions lost only one match all year, ironically to Arrows in the fi rst round of the championship.
Ohaupo recorded 13 wins in all, heading off Warriors on 12 wins, Arrows 10, Rebels 6, FBI 5, Pirongia Hotel 4, Waikeria 4 and Stranglers 2.
Scoring in the match between Ohaupo and Arrows was of town hall class. Teko Teko, Joe Ashby (Ohaupo) and Marc Webb (Arrows) threw 180s, Robbie Hoyes (Ar-rows) and Josh Dunne (Ohaupo)
had starts of 160 and 152 respec-tively, and Webb and Tama Reuben (Ohaupo) fi nishes of 158 and 155.
Chris Reid (Pirongia Hotel ) and George Cox (FBI) were other play-ers to throw 180s in the last round of matches.
Nomads Too took out the division II championship with a 15-2 victory over Riff Raff.
They fi nished tops with 11 wins, from RSA on 10, Nomads 9, Riff Raff 5, Hobiits 2, Marist I 2 and Marist II 2.
Final round, division I: Warriors 17, FBI 6; Ohaupo 13, Arrows 10; Waikeria 14, Pirongia Hotel 9; Stranglers won by default from Rebels. Division II: RSA 14, Nomads 3; Nomads Too 15, Riff Raff 2; No result from Marist I v Marist II match.

Success vindicates jump to Kihikihi
By Colin ThorsenFormer Olympian Jeff
McVean rates Waipa Equestrian Park a ‘fan-tastic facility’ after the successful staging of the Cambridge Festival of Showjumping.
“The facilities and overall complex here at Kihikihi stunned a lot of the riders,” said the showjumping legend.
“They came here not knowing what to expect and were blown away.”
The advantages of a purpose built eques-trian facility prompted the committee to bring the event to Kihikihi after being held for many years at Cam-bridge Thoroughbred Lodge.
The Lodge has superb stabling but the facility is used for farming the rest of the year.
McVean said the only thing that can be bet-tered at Waipa Eques-trian Park is covered stabling for the horses.
“That’s the only downside, no stabling for the world cup horses.”
It was a point taken on board by Mayor Alan Livingston and local horse trials course designer John Nichol-son.
McVean last com-peted at the Soul Ol-ympics, representing Australia. He was fi fth on the world rankings when he immigrated to
New Zealand.Bringing the Festival,
which attracted over 350 horses and riders, to Kihikihi is a tremen-dous coup not only for the host town but no doubt will have a sig-nifi cant fi nancial spin-off for Te Awamutu.
The Kihikihi Domain
has been a hive of activity over the past eight weeks, being in use every weekend by the various equestrian groups.
They include Waikato Pony Clubs, who use the facility extensively, Kihikihi Polo Club and Waikato Dressage.
Western Riding are staging their national event at there again this year.
The increasingly pop-ular Mitavite Waikato Eventing Horse Trials and Waikato Rodeo are being held at Kihikihi in the New Year.

OHAUPO’S Katie McVean turned it on for her home crowd, taking the prestigious young rider series class by an impressive four seconds.McVean rode Hairy McLairy (pictured above) to a lovely double clear round, heading off 16 other starters in the Cambridge Festival of
Showjumping at Kihikihi.She laid a challenge none of the other combinations could touch after being the fi rst of six to go in the jump-off. Melanie Purcell (Whakatane) and Chrialka Zibu also went clear in the jump-off but could not match the time. 3200617AD

From page 17.The Cambridge Festival of
Showjumping turned into a Beatson benefi t with father and son Maurice and Jamie starring in all the main classes.
Beatson senior solidifi ed his lead in the New Zealand World Cup Series with a decisive win on My Gollywog in the second round at Waipa Equestrian Park, Kihikihi.
The former Olympian and Catherine Cameron (Cam-bridge) were the only two com-binations from the 12 starters to go clear over the Gerrit Beker (Bay of Plenty) designed course.
Beatson (Dannevirke), fi rst out in the jump-off, came home
clear in 39.49 - putting Cam-eron and Kahurangi Tardak under immense pressure.
All was going well until they dropped the third to last, rel-egating them to second despite their faster time of 36.96.
Beatson now sits on 28 points in the six round series, with Ka-tie McVean (Ohaupo), who was third on Hairy McLairy, lying second on 21 points.
Beatson and My Gollywog also won the 1.40m horse class, the one star grand prix on Kiwi Relic and was third on Jedi Warrior in the seven-year-old series.
His son Jamie won the 1.30m Cambridge Cup on Goldilocks
and was fi fth in the 1.4m horse on Aberdeen Road.
The three-day show attracted 350 horses, ponies and riders from as far afi eld as Kerikeri to Christchurch.
Te Awamutu’s Dean Morgan placed second in his own class, the Dean Morgan Financial Services 1.15m championship.
Rachel Holdsworth was fi fth in the AT Kelly 1.20m cham-pionship, fi rst in the Olympic Watches fi ve-year-old class and fi fth in the IverQuantel ama-teur rider class.
Morgan and Holdsworth are committee members of what is soon to be known as the Waipa Festival of Showjumping.

DANIEL WEST on the attack. File photo
By Colin ThorsenA magnifi cent knock of 85 by Daniel West and a devastat-
ing bowling spell yielding 5-17 by younger brother Peter were features of Te Awamutu Sports Green cricket team’s 120 run win over Pirongia on Saturday.
Daniel West and skipper Graeme Stewart, who blazed his way to an impressive 92, put on 138 runs for the third wicket after their side were 2/9.
West’s innings was laced with 10 fours, while Stewart found the boundary 12 times. West and Hamish Forsman (25) then put on 71 to take the score to 219/4.
The Green team ended up with 250/6 off their allotted 50 overs.
Andrew Parsons was the pick of the Pirongia bowlers with 3-32. He completed a good double, top scoring with 28 in his team’s reply of 130 all out. Jason McGrath (20) and Richard White (22) also got starts.
Peter West ripped the heart out of the home team batting with three short spells bowling at rapid pace to get his team home by 120 runs. Left-armer Andrew Lawry (2-19) was a good foil. Stewart believes West is currently the quickest bowler in the Waikato Valley.
Te Awamutu Sports Green meet the only other unbeaten team in the Southern Zone of Waikato Valley competition, Morrinsville, at Albert Park on Saturday.
Morrinsville were equally dominant against Te Awamutu Sports Gold team, scoring 236/6 and restricting the opposi-tion to 92 all out.
Calvin Blyde (4-43) and Janus Botha (2-30) impressed bowling for the Gold team, while Webber Stewart (34) and Chris Scott (22) scored the bulk of their team’s runs.

Four Te Awamutu masters swim-mers came home with medals from the North Island short course cham-pionships in Masterton.
The remarkable Elizabeth Captein (78) won gold in her 75-79 age group, with fi rsts in all six events she con-tested in backstroke, freestyle and breaststroke.
Her distances varied from 50m to 200m (backstroke).
Graeme Parkes (67) collected Te Awamutu’s second gold in the 65-69 age group, recording three fi rsts, a second and a brace of thirds in free-style and backstroke.
Annette Whittle (60) and Pam Scott (45) both won bronze in their respec-tive 60-64 and 45-49 age groups.
Whittle collected three seconds and three thirds, all in her specialist freestyle event ranging from 50m to 1500m.
Scott won the 200m breaststroke, was second in four other breaststroke
and backstroke events, and fi fth in 400 freestyle.
The event attracted over 150 com-petitors, aged 20 to 85, from Kaitaia to Invercargill.
A team of 11 swimmers, in all, represented Te Awamutu, along with time keepers John Brewer, Buster Askew and Lou Brown.
It was the fi rst competition the lo-cal masters swimmers had been to under new coach Josephine O’Brien.
Individual podium fi nishes were also recorded by Warren Main (45-49), 1st 100m fl yt, 3rd 50m fl y, 200m freestyle; Ronnie Stevenson (60-64), 2nd 100m, 200m backstroke; Dianne Walton (50-54), 1st 100m breast-stroke, 2nd 50m breaststroke, 3rd 50m freestyle; Els Brown (55-59), 3rd 400m, 800m freestyle; Heather Leong (40-44), 3rd 200m breaststroke; Mary Brewer (60-64) 3rd 50m, 100m back-stroke.

Roto-O-Rangi are the early pace setters with a maximum three wins in the Kakepuku Cup inter-club tennis competition.
Marj Irvine reports that the majority of players were evenly matched in round three, resulting in a number of tie-break sets in all clashes.
Previously unbeaten Kihikihi Blue and Hairini battled out an 8-all draw, enabling Roto-O-Rangi to take the outright lead after their slender 9-7 win over United (Kio Kio/Korakonui).
Ngahinapouri and Kihikihi Red registered their fi rst wins, beating Pirongia 14-2 and Wharepapa South 9-7 respectively.
In Melville Cup, Te Awamutu Hustlers retained their unbeaten record with an 11-5 win over Te Rahu Stars but have the bye in round four.
Roto-O-Rangi remain unbeaten after account-ing for Korakonui 12-4.
All three tie-break sets in this match went the way of the Hustlers.
Wharepapa South excelled thrashing Kihikihi 16-0, while Te Rahu Stripes and Hairini notched up their fi rst wins against Ngahinapouri 14-2 and Te Awamutu Raiders 13-3 respectively.
Roto-o-Rangi setting paceThe 120 strong fi eld set a cracking pace in the
Melbourne Cup open midweek tournament at Te Awamutu Golf Club.
Two of the younger brigade, Matthew Veen and Adam Dyet weighed in with eye-catching gross scores of 72 and 73 respectively on the par 70 course.
Peter Morgan made the most of his handicap, returning a hot 62 net.
Sandi Jennin (81 gross), Sue Storck (65 net) and Thora Young (43 stableford) were the best of the women.
The fi eld was swelled by a bus load of 37 women from Pupuke, who stayed on to watch the race dressed in fancy ‘Melbourne Cup’ hats.
The inaugural Melbourne Cup day tournament was a resounding success at Ngahinapouri Golf Club.
The day started with cheese, biscuits and a glass of champagne and fi nished well after the running of the Melbourne Cup.
A ladies’ best hat of the day competition, won by Christine Reid, added to the day’s festivities.
Best golf scores were recorded by Gerald Har-ris and Martin Reid (44 stableford each), while Raewyn Marcroft topped the ladies’ fi eld with 41 points, along with winning the longest drive.

Hurrell plays way into Waikato sevens squad
A full compliment of 24 teams from the Chiefs and Blues re-gions displayed a high standard of sevens rugby at the Ambreed Te Awamutu Invitation tourna-ment.
Last year’s champions Hauta-pu defended their title, produc-ing outstanding defence to beat Hamilton OB 24-17 (quarter-fi -nal), Waikite White 24-5 (semi-fi nal) and Te Awamutu Sports Green 24-7 in the championship fi nal.
Te Awamutu Sports Green trailed by only 12-7 at halftime in the fi nal but wilted under pressure conceding two unan-swered second half tries.
Aaron Rogers and Waylon Tan-gohau both excelled for Sports.
Team-mate Keiran Hurrell (19) had an outstanding tour-nament, taking out the best forward award.
His day was capped by being added to the Waikato training
squad, along with Rogers, Tango-hau, Seta Nabinisau and Inoke Tuibua from Te Awamutu.
Arwyn Saunders (Hautapu) was named best back of the tournament.
The plate fi nal was won by Waitemata 26-10 over Rotoiti.
Waitemata, along with fellow Auckland club Suburbs and North Harbour’s East Coast Bays and Northcote all enjoyed their fi rst time participation in the tournament - all promising to return next year.
Te Awamutu Sports Gold won the bowl fi nal 37-0 over Waikite Gold with an outstanding per-formance.
The Gold team suffered from a slow start in pool play - they were capable of competing in at least the plate division.
They lost 22-7 to eventual winners Hautapu and Marist St Michaels 24-22 before bounc-ing back with a 26-19 win over
Waitete in the bowl semi-fi nal.Te Awamutu whistler Murray
Flay took out the best referee of the day award.
Tournament organisers would like to thank major sponsors Ambreed and all the fi rms who lent tents and equipment to help make the day a success.
Te Awamutu Green: Ray Stowe, Seta Nabinisau, Stephen Stephaphano, Taati Heke, Kieran Hurrell, Inoke Tu-ibua, Nathan Merriman, Aaron Rogers, Thomas Bird, Tim Bird, Noel Galloway, Waylon Tangohau.
Te Awamutu Gold: Ryan Dunn, Ted Tauroa, Tyson Morgan, Mark Mur-ray, Dion Pryor, Eon Payton, Justin Thompson, Steve O’Brien, Thomas Maturangi, Taina Heke, Gareth Heke, Richie Connor.

PNC appears on the bill with P Money, alongside Fat Freddy’s Drop, Nesian Mystic, Concord Dawn, Tahuna Breaks, Jakob, The Septembers and MC Slave.
PNC (formerly known as Sam Hansen) has proven that NZ hip-hop continues to jab at the soft underbelly of it’s global counterparts like a prize fi ghter from Queens with the release of his stunning 14 track debut album.
Stomping and dirty and produced by mega slick P-Money it talks honestly of PNCs childhood experiences. There’s big boy footstompers through to smoother RnB- infl uenced tunes
and a stellar line-up of guest artists including Scribe,Che Fu, Chong Nee and David Dallas.
A must have album and a must see performer and where better to see him than at Mercury Rising. This is THE New Years Eve Party you won’t want to miss.
The idyllic location is Ohuka Farm, just across the road from Buffalo Beach in Whitianga and provides the ideal setting to welcome in the New Year with plenty of wide open space, a meandering stream and a backdrop of native bush.
This will be the feelgood show of the year. It’s as much about the event as it is about the artists playing it. Check out www.liveinconcert.co.nz for more information. Get in quick, make your New Year plans early and prepare to cruise into 2007. You’ll
be glad you did!Tickets from TRACS.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 ‘PNC CD Competition’ and make sure it reaches our of-fi ce by 5pm next Tuesday.

This powerful, real, strong, honest film will stop your heart. Filled with deeply penetrating emotions and breathtaking action, it is the greatest cinematic can-vas of the war since SAVING PRIVATE RYAN, THE LONGEST DAY and BAND OF BROTHERS. At last the truth of Iwo Jima is revealed.
Ryan Phillippe, Paul Walkerand Jamie Bell star.
A warm, witty, light-hearted and pleasant romantic adventure that leads to a very satisfying ending. Beautifully photographed, abso-lutely fabulous to look at. Chocolat, Tea With Mussolini and Under The Tuscan Sun fans will simply love this film. It’s well-acted, well-written and well-directed. Russell Crowe stars with an excellent cast includ-ing Albert Finney and Freddie (the lad in Finding Neverland and he played Charlie in the Chocolate Factory) Highmore.
A captivating romance. A gorgeous film of incredible beauty. A mystifying, challenging real-life adventure. Visually this film is stunning. The leads are fault-less, beautiful together, re-creating an extraordinary love story that stays with you for weeks.

Kevin Spacey is fantastic with Kate Bosworth, John Goodman, Bob Hoskins, Greta Scacchi and Brenda Blethyn in a dazzling, flat out wonder-ful story of Bobby Darin. A hugely entertaining, highly compassion-ate portrait, a toe-tapping dreamy swingin’ tale of a helluva man.
GIFT VOUCHERS, THE IDEAL PRESENT OR REWARD.
AVAILABLE FROM THE THEATRE.
The Departed is really, really GREAT and should keep you glued to your seat. It’s
pretty heavy adult stuff but completely riveting. Sensational, amazing perfor-
mances from Nicholson, Damon and Di Caprio, fi ring on all cylinders. At the end,
you are left absolutely STUNNED. A tremendously satisfying fi lm that will have
you leaving the theatre saying, “Now THAT was a marvellous movie”.
A Good Year is an easy, pleasant,
