Te Awamutu’s Guthrie Bowron store is in celebration mode after winning the Best New Business at the 2005 Waikato Top Shop Awards.

Having operated the store for less than a year, owner Jo King says her team was thrilled to win the category.

“It’s been a great year for us, we were also second in our section at the Guthrie Bowron Awards earlier this year and picked up a merit award at the Waikato Home Show.”

Local businesses The Jew-ellery Boutique and Bees ‘n’ Buttercups were also fi nalists in the Top Shop Best New Busi-ness category, while Beamish Gemtime Jewellers was a fi nal-ist in the Outstanding Customer Service section.

Fashion funderRosetown Lions are holding a

fashion parade this Friday night at the Intermediate School hall to raise funds for Maungatautari Ecological Island Trust.

Money raised from the 7.30pm event will go towards a viewing tower. There has been a great response in providing garments by local fashion shops as well as a jewellery display by the Jewellery Boutique.

A lucky ticket prize has been sponsored by the Olde Bank.

Tickets ($10) include a light supper and can be bought at the door or from sponsoring shops, including Playmates, Cover Girl, Alverna, CBR, Caroline Eve, Womenz, Menz, Hallensteins, Lily’s and Postie Plus.

Parking pick-upCarparking at Waikato Hos-

pital should be easier to fi nd with plans for a user friendly 800-space carpark building.

Project director, Ian Wolsten-croft, says the multi-million dollar carpark building will add at least 280 new spaces to the total now on campus, alleviat-ing current carparking diffi cul-ties.

“Finding a carpark at the Hospital can be diffi cult and stressful. Once this nine-sto-rey carpark is completed, we are confi dent these carparking challenges will be a lot easier,” says Mr Wolstencroft.

Roadworks associated with the carpark are expected to commence in early 2006 and construction would start around April/May 2006.

Te Awamutu College is hosting the inau-gural Waipa Tri-Nations this Friday, the result of a collaboration between head stu-dents from Waipa’s three high schools.

The students from Te Awamutu College, Cambridge High School and St Peters School came together via Waipa District’s Youth Council, and decided to do something new to make their mark at their school and in the Waipa.

Leading the charge is Te Awamutu Col-lege head girl Jenny Samuel, who has taken on the organisation as her fi nal assessment for Physical Education.

She says the head students wanted to cre-ate an event that was student driven and would bring the three Waipa schools closer together and unite the sporting youth of the district.

They had never partaken in a sports in-terchange before, so the Waipa Tri-Nations was born.

The head students hope their successors in future years continue and build on their initial efforts.

The students called upon the expertise of Sport Waikato to assist with the organisa-tion of such a large event.

Although only involving junior students

in this inaugural year, it has still been a steep learning curve for the students.

Jenny says there was a lot more to think about than initially expected, but that is where Sport Waikato has been invaluable.

She says working with the other head stu-dents also gave everyone a good insight into how the three Waipa high schools operated.

The event starts at 10am this Friday and concludes about 2pm.

It involves fi ve sports - rugby, soccer, hockey, volleyball and netball - and seven teams totalling about 300 participants, plus organisers and offi cials.

There are girls and boys soccer teams and third and fourth form netball teams. Both hockey and volleyball teams are mixed.

The organisers have devised a points sys-tem, with bonus points, for a round robin competition which will give a champion school for each sport and an overall winner with trophies donated by Waipa District Council up for grabs.

Sport Waikato has provided spot prizes to be presented throughout the day for good play, Fair Play, best supporters and good coaching.

Members of the public are welcome to at-tend and support the event.

Flaming good hot rod runBy Dean Taylor.

It took a bit more than wind, rain and hail to dampen the spirits of over 200 hot rod enthusiasts taking part in Te Awamutu Rod and Custom Club’s bien-nial rod run.

Only Saturday afternoon’s Te Awamutu display at Selwyn Park was badly affected, with a number of cars not on show because of uncertain weather and the cancellation of a planned car crash rescue demonstration.

All the same it was a good display from those that were able to brave the conditions, and a good number of locals made the effort to come and view the cars.

The shows at Cambridge and Pirongia went ahead as expected, with the Pirongia Fire Force running a highly successful fundraiser Sunday morning.

Organiser Craig O’Hanlon says visi-tors and locals enjoyed the various ac-tivities provided.

These included popular visits to EuroPacifi c Independent Porsche Spe-cialists in Pirongia and Maurice Hall’s private car collection on this side of the district, plus the Horse Magic Show in Cambridge and a pistol shoot at the Hamilton Pistol Club at Mystery Creek.

FLAMING HOT: Flame paint jobs, as seen in Te Awamutu over the weekend on Paul and Anne Andrews’ 1941 Ford pickup (foreground) and Lisa and Mike Barnett’s 1934 Chevrolet sedan and a number of other rods, are still popular with many rodders and the public. 284051AD

Boost for Breast Cancer Foundation

New Zealand Breast Cancer Foundation funds were boosted by over $2000 thanks to the sup-port of the Te Awamutu community.

Local co-ordinator for the Pink Ribbon Day appeal, Jean Norton, says a team of enthusiastic volunteers hit the streets seeking donations to ensure the continuation of the Foundation.

“A large number of locals gave this cause their support by way of donation and wearing of a pink ribbon (the symbol of NZBCF) again showing a community willing to give a helping hand to those fi nding themselves in unknown territory and possibly facing an unsure future,” Mrs Norton says.

“Until a cure is found it is vital to continue to educate and advocate. Grateful thanks to all those who gave support, to local businesses, the Sequence dance Group and particularly the spirit in which helpers on the day gave their time.”

Further information on breast cancer is avail-able from the Foundation on 0800 902 732 or www.nzbcf.co.nz

Storm hit coverageMany mobile phone users in Te Awamutu

area were without coverage over the weekend after Saturday morning’s storms knocked out a Vodafone cell tower site serving parts of the Waikato. Coverage was due to be restored Mon-day night or Tuesday morning as this edition went to press.

Sprintcar rookie on pace in America

By Colin ThorsenRookie sprintcar

driver Shay Oliver is making rapid progress in her pursuit of a pro-fessional career.

The Te Awamutu 18-year-old grabbed her opportunity to race in US with both hands, fi nishing in the top 60 out of 90 in the 52nd annual Gold Cup Race of Champions at Silver Dollar Speedway.

Talk about being thrown into the fast lane at Chico, Califor-nia.

The fi eld included the top 30 ranked World of Outlaws drivers.

Shay was the sole female in the fi eld, the youngest driver in the fi eld and easily the least experienced com-petitor, with only two sprintcar races behind her at Baypark, Mount Maunganui.

But reputations meant nothing to this rising speedway star from down under on qualifying night for the Gold Cup.

She qualifi ed in a time of 12.931 seconds, fi nishing 14th from 16 racing in the B-main group.

Craig Dollansky, cur-rently second in World of Outlaws, broke the quarter-mile track record with a time of 11.281 seconds.

Shay averaged 130kph around the quarter mile track, with a top speed of 200kph.

She says the grunt of the sprintcars is phe-nomenal.

“I’d been racing standard stocks for the past two seasons, with an average speed of 90 to 100kph around Bay-park.”

Her qualifying time put her in the E-main group for the Gold Cup. Each group, from A-main down to F-main, comprised fi elds of 16 to 19 drivers.

She was stoked to fi n-ish second in her fi rst race, gaining promotion to the D-main group for her second race in which she fi nished 12th after starting 16th.

Current top World of Outlaws driver, Steve Kinser won the A-main race to claim the Gold Cup.

Rod Fauver of Fau-ver Racing Engines in Chico, Cailfornia, was instrumental in getting Shay to the US for her three week racing cam-paign.

“I’m proud of her,” says Fauver.

“She went great guns. She’s got loads of poten-tial and I want her back here racing in America

next season.”It is an invitation the

Oliver family are seri-ously considering.

Fauver built the sprintcar that Shay was racing in the States. Her family have sub-sequently bought the car and are shipping it home.

The car should arrive in New Zealand on No-vember 5, meaning she will miss the opening meeting at Baypark.

“We couldn’t get it back here any quicker after racing it in the States,” says Shay.

The Te Awamutu teenager competed at four meetings in all.

She fi nished ninth overall after qualifying in the B-main group at Twin Cities Speedway Marysville, prior to the Gold Cup.

A seven hour drive by car took her and mother Louise to Oregon for

Cottage Gove Speed-way’s ‘big’ meeting of the year.

Going faster each out-ing in her new sprint-car, Shay qualifi ed with a time of 11.328 seconds to make the C-main group.

She placed third, gaining promotion to the B-main group for race two in which she fi nished 13th after starting 18th.

Any day she wasn’t racing was spent at the workshop of Fauver Racing Engines, work-ing on her sprintcar.

She learned about engine maintenance, the different car set ups and how to change motors over - she was racing both 360ci and 410ci motors.

Shay says she is in-debted to her parents, Steve and Louise, for giving her the opportu-nity in speedway.

Fire Force training cadets

Pirongia Voluntary Rural Fire Force is training the next generation of fi refi ghters.

Pirongia Fire Cadets was instigated earlier this year in order to provide an alternative activity for teenagers in the village.

There are 11 members, aged 12-16 years and for training purposes they form two units - each unit assigned to either the Fire Force’s appliance 5871 or tanker unit 5876.

As fi rst year cadets they do not attend callouts, but they receive a comprehensive training in all as-pects of Fire Force ‘duties’, including fi rst aid - with course run by St John.

Sheryl Ellis, one of four instructors for the ca-dets, says Pirongia Fire Cadets is based on team-building principles. “We focus on teamwork then improvement of skills.”

Fellow instructor Bruce Budd says the unit offers various skills, mainly based on fi refi ghting.

“We want to help them focus on life and team-work. Our second focus is on training fi refi ghters of the future (have to be over 18 and to have com-pleted full fi refi ghting course).”

Another instructor, Des Barr says the likelihood is that the teenagers will move away from the village and their training could benefi t other fi re fi ghting organisations.

“If we (Pirongia Rural Fire Force) get one or two new members that would be a bonus, but the real aim is to benefi t these kids.”

These three and fellow instructor Alan Dalton are all active fi refi ghters in Pirongia Rural Fire Force. The instructors incorporate fun, practi-cal physical exercises, along with fi re safety and theory and class work.

Included in the programme are visits to other organisations to gain more information and skills and to pass some on.

Skills learned by the cadets include use, care and maintenance of fi re fi ghting equipment, fi refi ght-ing skills, fi re safety, knots and lines, leadership, co-operation, teamwork and teambuilding, over-coming physical diffi culties, confi ned space exer-cises, obstacle courses, improving observation.

Wasn’t as bad it feltIt feels like it’s been raining forever, but Te

Awamutu weather watcher Paul Hobbs prom-ises us that September had lower than average rainfall.

From 11 wet days there was a total of 106.5mm of rain, about 10mm below the average for the month over the past 15 years.

GARDEN OF THE MONTH

KEEP Te Awamutu Beautiful October Garden of the Month is the Delaney Court property of Henry and Ruth Holden. The couple love their roses, which feature

strongly throughout their property, and enjoy a well manicured lawn. Colour is provided with plenty of underplanting, plus weeping pear, red maple and pots of annuals.

The Rowing New Zealand Board of Directors gave the proposed 2010 World Rowing Championship Regatta bid at Lake Karapiro the green light on Friday.

“Rowing NZ will be lodging an application with FISA, New Zealand’s intention to bid for the 2010 World Rowing Cham-pionship Regatta by the dead-line of this Friday,” says Rowing NZ chairman, Bill Falconer.

“Rowing has never been in a stronger position than it is currently. The extraordinary success at the recent World Championships in Japan and our achievements at the World

Junior and under 23 Champion-ships has attracted consider-able attention internationally and nationally.

“The Rowing NZ board has gauged a sense of genuine sup-port from SPARC, the Waipa District and Hamilton City Councils, potential supporting sponsors and the New Zealand rowing community.

“We believe the support from the international rowing com-munity for New Zealand to make a bid for the World Cham-pionships in 2010 is now very strong”

Rowing NZ CEO Craig Ross says the previous World Cham-

pionships held at Lake Ka-rapiro in 1978 are still widely acknowledged as one of the best World Championships ever held and are remembered fondly by the international rowing com-munity.

“Rowing NZ has in Lake Karapiro a centre which with considerable investment over the next four years will be an ideal venue for the 2010 World Championship regatta as it was in 1978.”

FISA delegates will visit Lake Karapiro in February or March to determine the suitability of Lake Karapiro as a World Championship venue.

Karapiro may host world rowing championships

The doctor gave me two choices “lose weight or die young”. He said“you’re a time bomb waiting to blow.” It made me think hard about mylifestyle. At 32 I thought I was too young to be told this. Life is aboutchoices, I wanted to be around for a lot longer so I decided it was timeto start living rather than just existing.

SSuuddddeennllyy II kknneeww eexxaaccttllyy wwhhaatt II nneeeeddeedd ttoo ddoo..I started taking my 125kg body for walks. After a while I built up tojogging. I was getting fitter but I wasn’t losing weight as fast as I wanted. After searching the internet I came across the “Body for Life”training system so I joined a gym and started working out. After a fewmonths I still wasn’t happy about my results. I went back to the “Bodyfor Life” web site and when I started learning about nutrition thepenny dropped. Now it all made sense. Suddenly I knew exactly whatI had to do. When I read other peoples testimonials I really gotinspired. I thought if they can do it so can I. The fat just melted off melike butter and it wasn’t long before I was getting comments from myfriends which in turn inspired me even more.

II’’mm kkiicckkiinngg mmyysseellff..Eventually I decided to try another gym so I joined Marty’s Gym andI’m kicking myself I didn’t join here in the first place. It would havesaved me so much time and energy. The advantage of joining Marty’sis the service and atmosphere. The whole system at Marty’s is set up soyou learn everything you initially need to know within a week! You’llsee positive (sometimes amazing) results after only 2 weeks which isrecorded on your Personal Results Record. There is a lot of activity inhere, there is a buzz. As Marty says, “machines don’t motivate andinspire you - people do.” “That’s why there is always a trainer availablewhenever you need one.” I thought my knowledge was OK before, butI’ve learned so much more at Marty’s...from everyone.

TThhiinnkkiinngg aabboouutt iitt ddooeessnn’’tt wwoorrkk..They say knowledge is power but it’s no good to you unless you takeaction. Thinking about it doesn’t work! Make a decision and give it afair go. It took me 3 months before I started getting anywhere but thenI tried to do it my way instead of tapping into the people who havealready been there and done that.

“Joining Marty’s Gym can save you so much time andenergy. Thinking about it won’t work. You need to takeaction now!” Paul Maniapoto

Kihikihi pipeline project pumping ahead

Work on Kihikihi sewer-age reticulation is charg-ing ahead, despite recent wet weather.

Main contractors, Brian Perry Civil, have been in-stalling the 11 large pump station sections of the pipeline project.

They will eventually link to the system’s 12th pump station in Factory Road, Te Awamutu, while as part of the project the existing Albert Park pump station will be upgraded.

Project manager Andre van Heerden of Brian Perry Civil says while they have had to endure plenty of wet weather in recent weeks, staff have been able to keep the project moving.

At this stage it is still on track for completion in June next year.

Mr van Heerden says they have employed two local companies as major sub contractors - McFall Enterprises and White-man Douglas Construc-tion.

Council is still seeking a large number of con-sent forms from Kihikihi residents.

A caravan will be in the village this week giving people who have not yet returned their consent forms to return these or ask questions.

In addition, property owners with any questions are invited to call project administrator Vickie By-ford on a toll-free number, 0800 KIHIKIHI (0800 544 454) at any time, day or night.

PUMPED: Brian Perry Civil staff install one of the sewerage pipeline pumping sections in Herbert Street on Friday morning. 2840510AD

In our short span on this mortal coil we seem to lose more than we win.

So even half a win is worth notching up and shouting about!

The Waipa District Council, bless their cotton socks, have con-tracted a Development Offi cer.

Now I know it is over a year ago since I have raised the Chamber’s repeated requests to move down this path, but let me assure you I have rabbited on about the need to have an independent Develop-ment Trust akin to the very successful Otorohanga operation, for some years.

My logic was, in my modest view, quite plain for all to understand. Te Awamutu appeared, from recent population census recordings, to have lost numbers.

It needed a good shot in the arm to produce extra jobs, especially in middle management, to reverse this unhealthy trend.

An independent trust, funded by WDC, would have been the right step to take, to bring this positive change about.

After six separate submissions to our trusty lo-cal politicians, and their rather protective public servants, I gave it away.

Now Phyllis Huitema is on board as the Devel-opment Offi cer for the Waipa District.

I have met this feisty lady, and my contacts tell me she takes no prisoners; great stuff, that’s what we need. Well done Waipa District Council.

Phyllis bravely asked me what advise I would give her, and I’m sure she will not object to me sharing that.

I fi rst said that, although she was contracted by WDC, she must assume an independence stance, a bit like an internal auditor, or she would run the risk of being seen as the ‘Council’s person’, and that would undermine her ultimate useful-ness.

Secondly I reminded her that Te Awamutu was very different from Cambridge, and should be treated separately for purposes of development.

In fairness to Phyllis Huitema, she didn’t say whether she agreed with my observations, or not.

So welcome Phyllis, the Chamber in Te Awamutu looks forward to developing with you!

Time for some real serenity in our lives

By Stephanie Owen , AnglicanCommunity Priest

Imagine a community where:● strangers call out hello and wave to you.● your bus driver stops the bus to pick up a

fl ower.● a tour operator offers to run you around to

fi nd a place to stay.● businesses and shops close at lunchtime

on Saturday, and people spend time with their families.

● nothing opens on Sunday, not even the air-port.

● almost everyone goes to church.A dream? A throwback to the good old days?

No communities like this are alive and well in the Pacifi c.

I’ve just returned from three weeks in the Cook Islands, and in that kind of community it’s easy to be friendly, helpful, cheerful, relaxed.

The challenge is how to be the same here!Even if society chooses to live at a hectic pace,

we as individuals or families don’t have to.We can decide not to shop or do business seven

days a week. We can choose to spend time relax-ing with family every weekend.

We can choose to make Sunday a real day of rest and refreshment.

We can also choose to be more friendly and help-ful to strangers - and we can pick more daisies.

Maybe God’s idea of having a Sabbath is worth trying.

Kihikihi 10K scratchedA lucky Kihikihi Lotto Shop customer had a

$10,000 windfall recently from a Scratch and Win ticket.

The $1 ticket buyer has been a regular cus-tomer for a number of years at the shop.

Step in right direction

Spark up for new careerIf you’re interested in electrical and mechanical

trades and living in the Waikato region then the Mighty River Power Apprenticeship Programme could be the right career path for you.

Launched last month, the New Zealand-owned energy generator and retailer is providing up to 20 apprenticeships annually.

“There has been a lot of interest in the pro-gramme but with applications closing on October 21 time is running out for those who have yet to apply,” says Mighty River Power general manager external affairs, Neil Williams.

“The apprenticeship programme will open up a number of career opportunities and could lead to work as a fi eld offi cer, electrical inspector, meter-ing test house supervisor or even a production technician.”

The programme will focus on Mighty River Pow-er’s area of business - its generation assets, retail business, Mercury Energy, and its metering busi-ness, Metrix.

If selected for the programme, placement will be with host companies (Mighty River Power con-tractors and suppliers) while all training fees and salaries will be met by Mighty River Power.

At the end of the three year programme gradu-ating apprentices will achieve a nationally recog-nised Level 4 Certifi cate in either mechanical or electrical trades.

If you’re interested in applying for the Mighty River Power Apprenticeship Programme go to www.mightyriver.co.nz/careers or email apprentices@mightyriver.co.nz for a full enrolment pack.

Sports fi nish sevens series with fl ourish

Te Awamutu Sports Þ nished the Waikato club sevens series in style winning the Þ nal round hosted by Ham-ilton Old Boys.

The victory rocketed Te Awamutu Sports to third overall in the se-ries out of the 12 clubs.

It was a highly cred-itable achievement, given they missed the Þ rst of four rounds due to Peace Cup committ-ments.

They were untrou-bled winning their two pool games, thrashing Frankton 36-0 and Morrinsville 26-5.

A 32-7 win over Ka-tikati in the quarter-Þ nals, was followed by equally impressive wins over Hamilton Old Boys 38-19 (semi-Þ nal) and Fraser Tech 43-24 (Þ nal).

Fraser Tech took out the series. Morrinsville were the runners-up.

Johnny Bird scored a sensational individual try in the Þ nal.

After receiving the ball on his own line, he scooted 50 metres down the sideline, centre kicked (when challenged), chased through, and grubber kicked ahead of the de-fence to the in-goal on the far side of the Þ eld. He outsprinted the cover defence to dive on the ball after cov-ering 150 metres from where he Þ rst received the ball.

Player-coach Ray Stowe was instrumen-tal in bringing the squad through the series with steady pro-gess, culminating in an

outstanding unbeaten effort in the fourth and Þ nal round.

Stowe and Artemus Mudaliar showed expe-rience and composure all day, while all the other players contrib-uted.

STANDOUTFijian Setariki Na-

banisau looked to be a very talented sevens player.

Te Awamutu Sports Club is endeavouring to gain an extension of his visa and that

of fellow 23-year-old countryman Inoke Tuibua, who was also an integral part of the victorious Te Awamutu Sports sevens team.

If successful, the two Fijians would remain in New Zealand for the 15-a-side club season in 2006.

The pair play for Lo-molomo Village in the Lautoka Rugby Union club competition. They both represent Vuda sub union in a similar competition to our Peace Cup.

Nabanisau, is equally proÞ cient at centre or fullback, while Tuibua plays on the wing.

They are hoping the warmer, summer weather soon arrives as they are Þ nding it much colder here than back home.

The full Te Awamutu Sports sevens team was Ray Stowe, Matetu Atu-tahi, Johnny Bird, Karl Walton, Inoke Tuibua, Setariki Nabanisau, Ar-temus Mudaliar, Jamie Muir, Aaron Van der Poel, Michael Porteous.

Ngahinapouri golfers in limelightNgahinapouriÕs Hayden

Jones and Justin Morris played at numbers one and two for Waikato in the annual junior inter-provincial golf champion-ship at Cambridge.

The pair acquitted themselves well, with Jones recording 4½ wins out of seven matches and Morris three.

Waikato ended the tourna-ment on a winning note beating Hawkes Bay 5½-3½.

The host province shared third place with Manawatu-Wanganui, recovering from two

losses to the top two sides on the opening day to win every other match.

Waikato and Manawatu-Wan-ganui both Þ nished on 10 points and 40½ individual game wins.

Auckland edged out last yearÕs winners Bay of Plenty by one point to win the tournament.

The victorious Auckland team completed the seven round com-petition with a 6½-3½ win over Manawatu-Wanganui in the Þ nal round.

The young Ngahinapouri team of Bevan Jones, Daniel

Searancke, Kyle Morris, Oliver Aughton, Daniel Thomas and Fai Tongdethsri won the Brian Boys Pro-Drive Junior Pennant.

Both the semi-Þ nal and Þ nal of the Waikato Golf Associa-tionÕs junior competition were contested at Te Awamutu Golf Club.

Ngahinapouri swept aside Horsham Downs 5/1 in the semi-Þ nal.

They were equally ruthless dispatching Tokoroa 5/1 in the 36-holes Þ nal.

Zig Zag enhances NZ elite squad chances

Australia’s Commonwealth Games boxers whitewashed New Zealand seven bouts to nil in the Tasman Cup tournament on Sat-urday.

Te Awamutu’s Zig Zag Wallace produced New Zealand’s bravest performance against Queensland light heavyweight Ben McEachran in the 81kg division.

McEachran was a bronze medal-list in this division at the 2002 Man-chester Commonwealth Games.

Wallace took two standing-eight counts but never stopped marching forward, fi ring for all four rounds.

McEachran won the highest scor-ing match in Australian amateur

boxing for years, 58-40.The 21-year-old New Zealander

grabbed the opportunity to further enhance his growing reputation after making the Kiwi team at the expense of Olympian Soulan Pownceby.

Wallace had been gallant in de-feat losing to Pownceby 47-38, after trailing 18-5, at the NZ nationals the previous weekend.

He must now rate an excellent chance of making next year’s na-tional elite squad.

Former IBF super featherweight world champion Barry Michael was guest speaker at Tasman Cup Chal-lenge corporate lunch. ZIG ZAG WALLACE

Five-a-side soccer attracts record number of teams

A record 31 teams have entered the fi ve-a-side soccer competition kicking off at Marist Park on Thursday night.

Organiser Ken Miezenbeek says he decided to expand the competition this year after receiving such a great response from new teams wanting to enter.

“Last year I turned down two teams when the cut off was at an all time high of 24 teams.”

The twilight season commences with two weeks of grading games.

Teams will then be divided into four grades, on ability, for the round-robin which has teams play-ing each other twice in all four grades.

Thursday’s draw:6pm: f1, Incognito v BTM; f2, What Now v Tamas Team; f3,

Rangers rue missed chancesWaikato Rangers rugby team were left lament-

ing on what might have been after fi nishing sev-enth at the Roller Mills tournament, hosted by Thames Valley.

Peter Sullivan reports that all four Te Awamutu boys - Jono Sullivan (2nd fi ve), Joel Crean (half-back), Carl Taylor (wing), Nick McFarlane (full-back) - acquitted themselves well, starting in the majority of the six games.

“The boys enjoyed the opportunity to play at a higher level and will be better players for the experience,” says O’Sullivan.

Waikato Rangers suffered the disappointment of fi nishing fourth out of fi ve teams in pool one, despite drawing 10-all, fi rst up, with the eventual beaten fi nalists Auckland West and thrashing Thames Valley 39-5.

Narrow losses to Waikato Rovers, 17-15 and King Country 17-10 prevented them from mak-ing the semi-fi nals.

Waikato Rangers’ cause was not helped by los-ing their star fi rst fi ve-eighth from Tokoroa with a broken wrist in the opening match.

As fourth placed team in pool one, Rangers met the third placed team in pool two, North Harbour, losing 35-10.

Rangers fi nished the tournament on a winning note, avenging their earlier loss to King Country with a 17-14 victory in the playoff for seventh and eighth.

Squash club boasts high fl ying juniors

Te Awamutu junior players are fast making their mark on the Waikato squash scene.

Doug Latham (17) has beaten a number of B1 players since attaining his B2 grade earlier this year.

He has continued to make gi-ant strides after improving his national grading from E1 to C1 last year.

Having narrowly missed Waikato U19 men’s team selec-tion for the national junior cham-pionships in Hamilton, Latham will be looking to add further scalps during the individual age group championships.

He must rate an excellent chance to make the team in 2006.

Sophie McFarlane (13) and Jorja Tarrant (12) are E2’s with bright prospects for the future. Tarrant has a national U13 ranking of 12.

Kendyl Morris (15) is another big improver over the past year, having rocketed from J2 to F grade.

She recently won division two of the Waikato Junior Open and leads by 10 points at the halfway stage of the Black Knight junior tournament series.

These promising juniors are all members of the Squash Waikato Regional Academy for the de-velopment of the districts elite athletes.

Sportsforce Squash develop-ment offi cer John Rowell says the idea of the regional academy was to provide a pathway for promising athletes from their clubs through to the district pro-gramme and on to the national programme.

He says it is pleasing to see the rapid development of the local

players.“It indicates that the Re-

gional Academy programme is providing that link with the Te Awamutu Squash Club.”

Rowell is responsible for the delivery of the Kiwi Squash Mi-crocourt programme in schools.

The programme is designed not only to introduce children to the sport but to link the schools with their local squash club.

This term the Microcourt has visited Kihikihi, St Patricks, Ohaupo, Te Awamutu Primary, Bethel Christian and Pokuru schools.

Anyone interested in trying the sport or seeing what’s on offer can contact Te Awamutu Squash

Club through Debbie Pitcon 871 8539 or 021 152 0753.

Barnes four win Dave Barnes skipped Nina

Thomson, Ian Grey and Barry Anderson to victory in the drawn mixed fours for the Fisher Shield at Kihikihi Bowling Club.

Barnes’ team beat Merv Mad-dren (skip), Joan Maddren, Jim Allen and Peter Hargreaves in a playoff after both teams fi nished with two wins, two draws and 30 points.

The Mrs Richards Buttons (drawn mixed fours) went to Ma-ida Russ (skip), Dot Anderson, Hazel Chubb and Peter Faire.

Te Awamutu Courier and Tracs give readers the chance to celebrate Pluto’s Hamilton show at Diggers Bar this Thursday by winning a copy of the new CD ‘Pipeline Under the Ocean’.

Tickets are available from Tracs and it is an R18 venue. Guest band is The Sneaks from Auckland who have just released their latest EP ‘You All Suck”.

Pipeline Under the Ocean’ is complex, unique and different from anything else around.

“The mark of a truly artistic band is a willingness to

experiment within ones chosen medium,” says vocalist guitarist Milan Borich.

We set out to make the greatest record we could, without the slightest bit of hesitation or compromise. And we needed to make this album. Rock ‘n’ roll needs a kick in the butt and needs a bandto breathe life into it again.”

Almost four years have passed since Pluto released their debut album ‘redlightsyndrome’.

In that time, the band have enjoyed minor highs and taken a few hits, but they’ve fi nally delivered on their early promise by fi nding their collective voice on ‘Pipeline Under the Ocean’.

Upon its completion it was clear to the band that together they had created something special. “In many ways this feels like a debut record for the band because it’s the fi rst one where everyone in the current line-up has contributed to an equal extent.”

Pluto have shaped a record that refl ects their rapid creative growth and refi nes their songwriting into something more intricate and compelling, while still remaining fi t to burst with the band’s trademark harmonies and melodic power.

When you realise that you’re actually doing something that’s worthwhile and that you’re into and that you’re all getting something out of creatively while working as a group, then you do start to feel really strong as a band.”

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 ‘Pluto Competition’ and make sure it reaches our offi ce by 5pm Friday.

Deuce Bigalow - European Gigolo

Deuce Bigalow (Schneider) is at the beach doing research on fi sh, where he is bullied by a couple of kids.

The situation quickly escalates into a catastrophe involving eld-erly blind people and dolphins.

So when he gets a call from an old friend, TJ Hicks (Eddie Griffi n, My Baby’s Daddy), with an invitation to join him in Am-sterdam, Deuce deems it wise to accept.

Accompanied by the prosthetic leg of his recently deceased bride (she was eaten by a shark on their honeymoon), Deuce shows up in Europe only to fi nd that a mysterious killer is knocking off the city’s man-whores.

Worse, TJ is implicated, so Deuce is forced to go undercover and search for the killer on his own, hoping to clear his friend’s name.

He suspects the killer is a woman, and so he has a string of fl awed dates - a woman with a penis for a nose, one with massive ears, and a hunchback, among others.

Along the way Deuce makes each freakish date feel special, and falls for the niece of the detec-

tive assigned to the case (former model Hanna Verbroom).

Meanwhile TJ comes up with a vast array of creative synonyms for gigolos and their equipment.

Everything comes to a head at the 73rd annual Man Whore Awards, where Deuce proves his mettle and things fall together in surprising ways.

Though the jokes are unasham-edly lowbrow and many have been seen before, Rob Schneider is characteristically endearing and no one will escape without a giggle, however reluctant.

MillionsDanny Boyle (‘28 Days Later’,

‘Trainspotting’) once again re-invents the cinematic experience with a heart-warming story of two little boys, faith, miracles ... and lots of money.

Starting anew after the death of their mother, nine-year-old An-thony is ever practical, while his seven-year-old brother Damian uses imagination, fantasy, and faith to make sense of his confus-ing world.

Then a suitcase full of money falls out of the sky at Damian’s feet, it sets the boys on the adven-ture of a lifetime that leads them to realize that true wealth has nothing to do with money.
