Living exhibition a fi rstBy Dean Taylor

Toni Fortune is making an exhi-bition of herself - to the delight of her employer.

The archivist is Te Awamutu Museum’s display for this month in what they believe is a New Zealand fi rst - a living, working exhibition of one of its own staff.

‘Archives Exposed - keeping the community memory’ comes in re-sponse to one of the most common questions about museums - what do the staff do?

For three weeks Mrs Fortune will work in the gallery caring for old documents and maps, cata-loguing diaries and photo albums, helping people access the huge ar-chive collection the museum has.

She will have the volunteers who assist her during the week popping in as usual and they too will work in the gallery and ex-plain to people what they do and how it contributes to the museum collections.

Mrs Fortune, who is passionate about her work, says “archives are the key to unlocking yesterday’s secrets”.

She will also be able to advise visitors how best to care for their own special records at home.

An archive is any non-current record of an organisation, institu-tion or person preserved because of its continuing long term value.

The record can be on many types

of media, from a piece of wood to a DVD disc, and includes such items as rolls, records, minute books and diaries.

The museum specifi cally cares for items from our region and within the archive collection of 12,000 items there is a huge range, including postcards sent

home by Waipa soldiers at war, an 1860’s Forest Rangers regis-ter, oral histories, a large photo-graphic collection, land grants and much more.

Mrs Fortune says the opportu-nity to spread out and not have to put items away is a luxury.

Normally she works in the re-

search room, but often has to pack up when others need the space for research or meetings.

She says it will be a good chance to attack the backlog of material.

Te Awamutu Museum is free to visit. Opening hours are 10am un-til 4pm weekdays and Sunday and 10am until 1pm Saturday.

YOUR LETTERS

I feel that much of the heat of the indignation expressed by your corre-spondents on the Vaile Street realign-ments issue arises out of the name of the piece of ground concerned, Anzac Green.

‘Anzac’ has powerful historical and emotional connotations. ‘Green’ again has a powerful connotation in that reminds us of the need to preserve as much open, grassed recreational space in our town as is practicably possible, so I can understand what motivates some of the protestors.

However, I wonder what the actual net loss of grassed space will be when one takes into account the fact that, until, quite recently a good deal of the ‘threatened’ area was taken up by the former pool complex.

I am sure that it would clarify the situation if, perhaps the Courier, with the help of the Council staff could pub-

lish comparative details of the exact areas of the old pool complex and of the proposed realignment project. There is no doubt that the information would be of great interest to people on both sides of the issue.

What I see as a further misunder-standing is that many of your cor-respondents seem to think that the project is intended mainly to provide more parking for the Medical Centre.

While that will be a spin-off, the main reason is to accommodate the ever-in-creasing traffi c fl ow.

The Jacobs Street, Teasdale Street, Vaile Street ‘corridor’ is, for whatever reason attracting more and more traf-fi c and a few minutes spent watching it from, say, the Teasdale/Vaile Street corner would support that opinion, backed up no doubt by some long-term monitoring by the Council.

It’s a fact of life that in any urban

area, even such a minor one as ours traffi c density is increasing and the Council would be failing in its duty if provision was not made to deal with this particular ‘choke point’.

It could be interesting to look back in your fi les to see if, when the land for old pool complex was taken, there was the same degree of concern.

It’s an odd thing that in Te Awamutu, it seems that any move toward change or improvement immediately triggers off protest.

The Mutu Street bridge, the Council offi ce improvements, the Alexandra Street alterations, the Albert Park Drive project, the Events Centre projects all produced their ‘prophets of doom’ and have all turned out to be much-needed improvements to our town.

I look forward to seeing those com-parative fi gures

Protestors missing point

Production well worth catching

Thank you for advertising so well, the recent Zee-land Production presentation ‘The Diary of Anne Frank’.

I felt honoured to be able to attend this on May 8, as the gripping story was unfolded by excellent actors.

The calibre of Mr Frank was evident from the lengthy non-verbal acting at the beginning.

Indeed, time stood still for us, whilst we were transported right into the real event - helping us to experience the horrors which so many innocent peo-ple suffered then.

The over-all outcome for me was gratitude that here in New Zealand we have never had to endure such tribulations - though most of our families were involved in some way, with this evil war.

May our nation remain single-minded, in keeping Peace, and respecting the dignity of all others.

STELLA ANNE MCARTHUR

Mr Lee’s personal written at-tacks (on Brian Tamaki) seem just that - personal.

At least Mr Lee attended Mr Tamaki’s service to hear what the man had to say.

As a parent of three teenag-ers who have chosen purity over sex before marriage - I applaud the stand Mr Tamaki and his Destiny Church have taken.

We are all going to be ac-countable for our lives, as Mr Lee and Mr Tamaki both know very well.

Who are we to judge integ-rity, purity, abstinence, family values and the person bringing

forth these great ideas plus God’s word.

‘Enough is enough’ ... and I for one will be voting for the Destiny Party for a seat in Gov-ernment.

Just who our town has voted in for Mayor shows good judge-ment and common sense, with family values.

Like Mr Tamaki said “Don’t hate the person committing the sin - hate the sin itself and look at the spirit behind it”.

We can all choose our own destiny.

By Grant JohnstonTe Awamutu truckie Dean Chandler came

back with a ‘full load’ from his South Island trip last week in more ways than one.

He entered into the inaugural Ashburton Truck Show, run in conjunction with the North Canterbury centre’s annual Wheels Week.

And beyond the 25-year-old’s wildest dreams he collected four of the show’s top awards - in-cluding Truck of The Show.

This was decided by peoples choice and Dean’s T904 Kenworth ‘Biggea’ (which he drives for owner driver Barry Stamp of Dibble Transport) won by 30 votes with the rest of the 68 trucks in the show in his slipstream.

The truck also claimed the prize for top paint job (it was painted by Te Awamutu com-pany Fleet Image), best truck from 0-100,000 kilometres (on the hubometer) and the prize for the entrant from farthest afi eld.

As well as the four trophies, Dean collected about $1500 worth of gear and had the honour of leading the parade of trucks at Ashburton on the Sunday following the Saturday show.

Dean only found out about the new show (raising money for child cancer) a couple of weeks before and after a mate had his truck broken into, decided to drive down himself.

He carried a load of fertiliser on the way down (which he dropped off at Christchurch), then washed up and loaded up with a load of boulders for the return journey north.

Dean has wanted to be a truck driver for as long as he can remember - hardly surprising given that his dad is Dibble Transport man-ager, ‘Nod’ Chandler - an owner driver himself during Dean’s younger days.

“For years I used to go for a ride in the truck with dad or *(later) with the other drivers from Dibbles.”

He has been at Dibbles for two and a half years, following two years with J. Swap Con-tractors.

Dean says he may enter the national truck show at Mystery Creek in a couple of years, but he is defi nitely heading back to Ashburton for the second truck show there next year.

Dean’s great results provided a boost for employees at Dibble Transport - who are mourning the loss of popular colleague Geoff Dibble who passed away on Friday after a bat-tle with leukaemia.

To price or not to priceWhen you market your

home you have 2 options. To

market it with an advertised

price or without a price.

Marketing with a price guar-

antees two things:

Every buyer thinks the price

is negotiable and the pur-

chaser is going to negotiate

the price down.

It puts you into direct com-

petition with the buyer. You

come down and they go up

until a price acceptable to

all parties is reached.

After sell ing you’ve always

got that nagging thought -

“could I have got more?”

Marketing without a price if

done properly wil l generally

put buyer competing against

buyer which gives you the

best price the market wil l

pay for your home - obvi-

ous ly th is i s top market

value. If you would l ike a no

ket ing & present ing your

Altrusa collects two national awards

Service project now goes forward for judging in international competition

SUPPORT of a Hagar project to assist girls rescued from the Cambodian sex industry - which is being run by Te Awamutu’s Sue Hanna (above right) and Susan Taylor - was one of the reasons Te Awamutu Altrusa won the Dr Nina Fay Calhoun International Relations Award. As well as service projects, the award is also judged on meetings that focus on international issues. File photo

The Altrusa Club of Te Awamutu has plenty to cel-ebrate after bringing home two major awards from the Altrusa District Conference in Napier.

The local club picked up the coveted award for top club in New Zealand, with the pres-entation of the June Garth Memorial Governor’s Award to Te Awamutu president Marie Kay.

This award recognises the club’s achievement in service, leadership, communication and membership growth.

The second award was the Dr Nina Fay Calhoun Inter-national Relations Award.

This award is given to the best International Relations Programme, which includes both service projects as well as meetings focussed on in-ternational issues.

For several years the Te Awamutu club has provided support for young girls in Cambodia who have been rescued from the sex indus-try.

The club continues to sup-port this cause through its ‘Positive Ripples’ project which provides resources for the Hagar home being run by Susan Taylor (an Altrusan) and Sue Hanna.

Both women are from Te

Awamutu and are currently working at the home in Cam-bodia.

The club’s International Relations Programme en-try will now be sent to the United States to compete in the International Altrusa Competition in July.

SUCCESSFUL YEARPresident Marie Kay (left)

was thrilled to accept the two Altrusa awards on behalf of the Te Awamutu club.

“It has been a year of hard work, as well as reward for Altrusa members.

“We have had such a suc-cessful year with our garden ramble and the associated student book awards, leader-ship training courses at the College and Intermediate, our 10th Birthday celebra-tions, the ABC Book Collec-tion Box out in the communi-ty and several new members to top it all off.

“The Te Awamutu club is one of the larger clubs in New Zealand and continues to enhance its reputation with the securing of these two awards.”

Anyone interested in the work of Altrusa or joining the Te Awamutu club should con-tact Mrs Kay (ph 872 7722) or Maria Thompson (ph 871 8144 b/h).

The Mid Island Shorthair Cat Club Show is being staged in Te Awamutu for the second year running.

The show will be held at Te Awamutu College Hall on Sunday, June 26.

Two judges are fl ying in from Queensland and one from the South Island.

Organiser Sue Ford says they are expecting over 100 entries.

Entries are welcome for domestic cats, long and short hair.

It is important that all domes-tic entrants are desexed. Pedigree

cats/kittens may be entire as well as desexed. Kittens must be over four months of age and have current vac-cination certifi cates to be entered.

Entry forms are available at all lo-cal vets. Entries close fi nally on June 12 but earlier entries get a discount. All entrants’ names are printed in a catalogue and they are allocated a number.

Last year a local beautiful red neu-tered male cat took the top domestic prize.

Having just recovered from some rather creative Mother’s Day breakfasts in bed, many local Plunket mums now turn their attention to celebrating several other important dates.

The nationwide Plunketline was launched on Tuesday, parents are honouring their local Plunket nurses for Interna-tional Nurses Day (today) and then will be cutting a cake on Saturday to commemorate 98 years since the founding of Plun-ket.

Te Awamutu Plunket will be combining the birthday celebra-tions with a garage sale, cake stall and hot soup/roll at the Plunket Rooms (Vaile street) from 9am.

Our district has three sub branches - Ohaupo, Pirongia and Te Awamutu - which see almost all of the newborn babies to local parents in this area.

Waipa president Shirley Howat says Plunket has been an important part of the Te Awamutu commu-nity for close to 90 years now.

“When we celebrate it is really the whole commu-nity that is celebrating , so we invite everyone who has had anything to do with Plunket to join us and share the fun.”

Plunket has always been a vital source of infor-mation and support for local parents.

“In our area we have parents education and sup-

port groups, antenatal groups, Tots and Toddlers, a car seat scheme, coffee groups and walking groups to name just a few.

“We also have two nurses and a kaiawhina (Maori health worker) serving our community and we do the simple, but vital job of connecting parents and

caregivers with other parents and caregivers in the area.

“The friend-ships that develop around raising chil-dren can be lifesav-ers to parents and caregivers.

“They are not only the children’s fi rst connection with other children, but also become an important source of information and support.

“We hear of many Plunket cof-

fee groups still meeting regularly long after the children have left home.”

Mrs Howat says Plunket is a wonderful organisa-tion to belong to.

“Everything we do is focussed on building com-munities, having skilled parents and caregivers, as well as raising healthy children.

“Being a part of Plunket in its 98th year also gives you a sense of an important link between the past and the future.

“We welcome all past and present Plunket babies, parents and caregivers to join us on Saturday to cel-ebrate 98 years of raising our children.”

Golfers with a cause

MEMBERS of the Dan Cosgrove team (from left) Morris Catley, Colin Deacon, Bev Rotherhamand Gordon Knight check out the barbecue skills of event sponsors Keith Pennell (right) and Mark Evans of Brown Pennell. The team won the Best Dressed Award. 132057AD

Brown Pennell partners Mark Evans and Keith Pennell en-joyed playing in the annual Life Education Trust Charity Golf Tournament so much they took on the organisation this year.

In fact they did not even get to play in the tournament, instead manning the barbecue at their sponsored tee.

Regular organiser Paul Evans has taken time out to travel overseas, leaving the tourna-ment in danger of being high

and dry this year.Instead his brother Mark and

his colleagues came to the fore and maintained this valued and fun, fundraising event.

With Brown Pennell and Westpac Bank on board as ma-jor sponsors, and tremendous support from numerous other local businesses, the event was as good as ever.

Organisers aimed to keep costs low so they could hit the $5000 profi t mark this year.

They topped that, making $5400 for Life Education.

The ambrose tournament at-tracted 14 teams of four and everyone was assured of a great day and loads of fun.

Not that is mattered much, but the top team was Te Awamutu Police, followed by Fulton Hogan and Waipa Networks.

Best golfer was Lincoln Dreft, while the highest gross score went to the Westpac Business team.

Special prizes were awarded to Richard Waters for honesty, not necessarily on his scorecard, but he did hand in some money found on course.

Glen Beech scored the long-est drive, Dan Cosgrove Ltd was the best dressed team and Dave McLean hit the stupidist shot, putting his team-mates in mortal danger on one tee shot, even though they were standing behind him.

A new jazz band that has been formed in Te Awamutu gets together this Sunday for its fi rst workshop and jam session.

The group caters for inter-ested musicians wanting an outlet to be part of a group on a casual basis.

To date 18 players have signed

up for the band, although or-ganiser Eric Scott says more are welcome.

The band is getting together at the Te Awamutu College music room.

For more details, or to register an interest in the band phone 8714636 or 8713645.

Stu has technologyBy Colin Thorsen

Ngahinapouri golfer Stuart Reid is feeling like the six million dollar man.

The 59-year-old won the Waikato Seniors Championships at the weekend, four months out from having a total knee replacement.

Reid shot 75 at Ngaruawahia on Friday, 72 at Narrows Saturday and 75 at St Andrews Sunday for a 54-hole total of 222.

He won by three shots from Aucklander Ken Hankin. Tokoroa’s James Cortesi was third on 228, with Aucklander Mike Leitch fourth on 229.

The event was contested in three age groups (50-54, 55-59, 60 and over) with an overall win-ner.

Hankin won the 60 and over section, while Cor-tesi took the 50-54 year honours.

Reid played solid golf off the championship tees on his comeback from surgery.

“I’m pleased with my effort,” said the New Zea-land seniors representative.

“It was a good test of golf playing on the three different courses”.

New Zealand’s top senior golfer, Rodney Bal-trop (Wellington) was the inaugural winner of the Waikato Seniors Championship last year.

SUCCESSFUL SWING of Ngahinapouri golfer Stuart Reid. File photo

B’s hummingAn emphatic 43-7 win over

Morrinsville consolidated Te Awamutu Sports’ fi rst round lead in Waikato Senior B rugby.

Saturday’s victory extends the team’s record to seven wins out of eight games, with three matches remaining.

Player of the day was prop Ki-eran Ramage. He ranged wide in back play, creating a number of scoring opportunities.

Te Awamutu Sports Under-21 team, having beaten last year’s champions Hamilton Old Boys a fortnight ago, struck them again on Saturday.

Hamilton OB prevailed 18-16 this time round after leading 10-6 at halftime.

Te Awamutu coach Joe Sprangers felt it was it was

a game that could have gone either way, with both teams en-joying periods of dominance.

Te Awamutu were rewarded for dominating the last 20 min-utes with the ‘try of the game’ to blindside fl anker Brett McLeod.

The try stemmed from a strong surge from the backs, fol-lowed by some slick inter-pass-ing from the loose forwards.

Prolifi c points scoring fi rst fi ve-eighth Kieran Hurrell kept his team in the game with three penalties and a conversion.

Player of the day was open-side fl anker Paul Johnson, who pulled off several try saving tackles with his speed in cover defence.

Te Awamutu travel to Bom-bay this week for a 1pm game.

Marist fi reTe Awamutu Marist produced

their fi nest performance of the season to thump Kereone 31-7 in Waikato division 1B rugby.

The Merial sponsored Marist team led 21-0 at halftime at Selectrix Marist Park on Satur-day, with tries to fullback Marty Rodgers, centre Johnny Wairau and second fi ve Dion Pryor.

All three tries were converted by fi rst fi ve Taina Heke.

Rodgers grabbed a second try in the fi fth minute of the second half, followed by replacement prop Bill Haletama scoring in the 38th minute.

Super Liquor and Oliver’s Panelworks players of the day were Ross Rua (forwards) and Heke (backs).

Marist are away to Eastern Suburbs this Saturday.

Ist XV winTe Awamutu College

1st XV rugby team opened their Waikato secondary schools’ division one campaign with a 30-13 win over Fraser High.

The visitors scored fi ve tries in Hamilton on Saturday through fullback Renata Mitch-ell, centre Peresetene, Muipu, second fi ve Pearson Tukua, No 8 Noel Galloway and hooker Colby Gray.

This year’s manage-ment team of coaches Bruce Bain and Jack Tukua and manager Murray Bain will be heartened by the fi rst up performance.

They have only three players back from last year’s team.

Te Awamutu host Morrinsville, 11am, this Saturday.

There’s nothing like a blazing open fi re. Or is there?

It might look warm and welcoming, but most of the heat goes up the chimney.

Few things are as comforting as a cheerful fi re. But sadly, the old open fi re is seldom an available choice.

Its low effi -ciency has seen it banned in many New Zealand cities, where fi res contribute to smog trapped by temperature inversions in the winter months.

Most New Zea-land homeowners who choose fi res as their main win-ter heating now opt for the solid fuel type.

They burn cleanly, creating little in the way of ash and other byproducts.

Most burn over-night, keeping the house free of night chill and they are very safe in use.

Insurance Council of New Zealand representatives say solid fuel heaters cause less accidental fi res than other forms of heating.

Properly installed and maintained, the solid fuel heater gives years of trouble-free heating.

The heat these fi res generate is a very dry warmth, so they’re often kinder to home furnishings than other

forms of heating. In fact, the heat generated can be so dry that for

some health conditions, it’s a good idea to keep a pan of water sitting on the top of the fi re or the mantel to add humidity to the air.

There are two basic types of solid fuel appliance - radiant and radi-ant convector.

The former is usually freestand-ing and generally cheaper.

Radiant heaters generate beams of heat from the sides of the fi re-box, and are ideal for heating large open houses and homes with high ceilings.

The amount of warm air circula-tion from this type of heater is limit-ed, and they need to be securely fenced off from children as the whole appliance gets very hot.

Radiant con-vected appliances are most suited to the average home

because they circulate warm air very effi ciently.Heat radiates from the cabinet and from the fi re,

but air is also ducted around the fi rebox, heated and released into the living space.

In use, the fi re quickly establishes convection cy-cles, moving warm air from one area to another while drawing cool air back to the fi rebox for reheating

Did you know?

y

● If every Kiwispent twominutes less inthe shower anddidn’t take baths, it would save 2% of the energyused by New Zealand homes.

● If everyhousehold witha water cylindermore than 15years old installeda cylinder wrap, it would save 5% of New Zealand’sresidential energyuse.

● If every home in the country had ceiling insulation, we would save 7% of residential energy use.

● If everyhousehold replaced fi vefrequently usedlight bulbs with a compactfl uorescent bulb, it would save 5% of the energyused by New Zealand homes.

With the recent cold weather people will be turning up the heat at home, but with this comes a need for extra vigilance to make sure it doesn’t end in disaster.

Winter brings specifi c fi re risks. The major fi re causes over winter are faulty electric blan-kets, careless disposal of ashes, items left too near heaters and over-loading of power points.ELECTRIC BLANKETS

Before using your electric blanket, make sure it is checked.

Too many fi res are caused through faulty electric blankets.

Many people do not store their electric blan-kets properly and fold them or place things on top of them.

This can damage the wires which in turn could cause a fi re.

The best way to store them is to lie a blanket is underneath the bed with the cords out of the way.

When using an electric blanket, be sure to turn it off before you get into bed.

WOODBURNERS While everyone enjoys the glow of

a wood fi re it is important to be care-ful so that your whole house doesn’t end up glowing.

Wood can be expensive, so it doesn’t pay to burn wet wood.

Not only does wet wood not keep you very warm, it can damage and clog your chimney or fl ue, which can lead to a fi re in the chimney.

The fi re service recommends hav-

ing your chimney or fl ue swept every year by a professional.

House or structural fi res are com-monly caused at this time of year by the ash removed from woodburners.

What most people don’t realise is ashes can retain their heat for up to

fi ve days, even if they appear to be cold on the surface.

Some people put ashes into a plastic or fl ammable containers and leave them in the garage or on the back porch.

The embers melt through the plastic and set the nearest structure on fi re.

The best thing to do is either to put ashes in a steel container away from any structures or simply wet them down and put them straight on the garden.

If you use a vacuum cleaner for ashes, clean the bag out immediate-

ly before putting the cleaner away.If using an open fi re, always use

a spark guard and don’t try to dry wood next to the fi re.

HEATERSPeople leaving clothes or items too

close to the heater is another com-mon cause of household fi res.

The Fire Service has a rule called the Heater Metre rule. It is simply a way of remembering to make sure there is noth-ing less than a metre from the heater.

Make sure you have portable gas heaters and the gas bottles checked before using them.

ELECTRICALWith the need for

warmth comes more demand on power sup-plies.

There is the temptation to run too many appli-ances off a single power point using an adaptor or a multi-box.

Don’t run a heater through a multi-box. Heaters draw a lot of power and can overload it. Multi-boxes with a safety trip switch are the safest to use.

If using a clothes dryer, try not to overload it and clean the lint fi lter after each load.

Having done everything to prevent a fi re make sure that you have a plan in the event of one.

Make sure you have smoke alarms that work, do a fi re safety check be-fore going to bed, turn off appliances, and have an escape plan the whole family understands.

CONDITIONS APPLY

Warm, clean air from heat pumps

High energy effi ciency is a huge plus, helping save on energy bills.

Heat pumps are com-pact sealed systems similar to a refrigerator, but unlike your fridge they can both heat and cool.

Feel the air that rises from behind your fridge. That warmth is actually coming from inside.

An evaporator coil extracts the warmth from the air inside and transfers it out into your kitchen through a con-denser coil on the back of the unit.

Heatpumps work in much the same way. Two linked coils, one inside your home and one outside, circulates a refrigerant that draws warmth from the outside air and transfers it into your home.

Nothing is actu-ally heated. There are no glowing elements and the process is very effi cient.

Best of all, at the fl ick of a switch your heat pump can run in reverse, acting as an air-conditioner to pump heat out of your home and keep it refresh-ingly cool in summer.

As well as their energy

saving performance, they are also perfect for today’s healthy, eco-con-scious lifestyles.

The refrigerant used does not damage the ozone layer, and be-cause the air is fi ltered clean of dust, soot, pol-len and other airborne impurities, you’ll enjoy a healthier environment all-year-round. Special fi lters can also be used for extra health benefi ts.

CATECHIN FILTERThe ‘Catechin’ fi lter

from Mitsubishi is a bio-fl avonoid that is found in green tea that has both antiviral and anitoxidant qualities.

In addition to these

benefi ts, the Catechin fi lter also offer deodoris-ing characteristics. This improves air quality and prevents the spread of bacterias and viruses. The fi lters can be easily removed and washed.OTHER ADVANTAGES

Unlike other forms of heating, a heat pump does not consume oxy-gen, so the room does not get stuffy.

When used for cooling, it also lowers the humid-ity by removing excess moisture.

Safety is another ad-vantage - no exposed hot surfaces, pilot fl ames, fuel burners or gas tanks to worry about.

Smashing end to speedway seasonBy Colin Thorsen

A huge crowd got their money’s worth watching one of the biggest ever fi elds of demolition derby cars smash themselves into oblivion at McDon-ald’s Kihikihi Speedway.

Last ‘man’ standing out of the 54 vehicles en-tered on Sunday was Simon Williams of Horsham Downs in a Mitsubishi Galant 1800.

Williams, who collected $250, said there was no special recipe for his success - it was just a matter of getting stuck in and give as good as you get.

“I’m stoked. It’s a big improvement on last year when I fi nished in the middle of the pack on debut here.”

It is the second year running an employee of Longveld Engineering has won the club’s crowd pleasing, end-of-season demolition derby.

Williams’ workmate, fellow engineer Colin Bra-zendale took the title last year.

Their fi rm is fashioning an enviable record in these fun, yet highly competitive events.

Williams recalls one of their apprentices fi nish-ing second in the Huntly demolition derby two years ago.

Longveld Engineering (owned by former Te Awamutu resident Les Roa) entered eight cars in all at the weekend.

The $100 prize money for ‘Best Stirrer’ went to Mike ‘Rampaging Robbo’ Robertson in his Living-stone sponsored Honda Integra.

The crowd watched in amazement as his ‘half mangled’ car kept going after fl ames had to be extinguished in his engine compartment on three occasions.

He was told to stop after a small fl ame iginited for a fourth time, but not before he had infl icted untold damage on other vehicles.

Te Kuiti’s Jay Davies took out the $100 for ‘Best Presented Car’.

“It makes the 10 minutes work and $50 spray paint job all worth while,” quipped Davies.

The demolition derby was held in conjunction with the King Country Super Stockcar Champi-onships won by Rotorua’s Stan Hickey in car 515.

It was the fi rst ever super stockcar champion-ship event to be run at Kihikihi - and they didn’t disappoint.

The star-studded fi eld included NZ1 Bryce Penn of Hawkes Bay and NZ2 Rodney Wood of Mount Manganui.

Wood won the fi rst two qualifying heats to start from grid one in the 20 lap fi nal.

But it was Hickey who was quickest away in the fi nal. He established a decisive lead, then benefi tted

from fellow Rotorua cars slowing Wood’s progress.

Hickey took the chequered fl ag from Penn, with Gary Hunter (Rotorua) third in car 337R.

Sun shone on club

BEST PRESENTED car in the demolition derby went to this steamed up Toyota Celica, driven by Jay Davies, after receiving a 10 minute, $50 spray paint job. 1320515BD

From page 14.Kihikihi Speedway president,

Roger Wells said he was ‘thrilled to bits’ the way the fi nal meeting of the season had gone off.

“We had big fi elds, quality racing and a full bank which looked to be the largest crowd of the season.”

Wells said it had been a highly successful season, with the sun shin-ing on the club for a change.

“We had just the one rain out and it was our fi rst meeting of the season.”

The only disappointment on Sun-day was a small group of unruly teenagers causing a brief halt to the demolition derby after climbing onto the outer safety fence.

When offi cials tried to restore order, they were confronted with abuse.

There was a series of minor scuf-fl es as the group were removed from the track - with the help of specta-tors.

Wells said it was extremely dis-appointing as far as the club was concerned.

“We are a family oriented organi-sation and there were many families there on Sunday taking advantage of a fi ne Mother’s Day afternoon.”

BEST STIRRER in the demolition derby, Mike Robertson is temporarily restrained as a fire is extinguished from under the bonnet of his Honda Integra. 1320515AD

Shaw shot a 65 net on Sunday to fi nish well clear of the run-ner-up Andrew Paton on 69.

The cold, wet conditions (early in the day) took their toll, not only on the number of entries but also on the day’s scoring.

Hayden Jones (14) won the under-16 title with a three-un-der- par total of 141 for 36 holes, while Anderson won the under-19 girls’ crown with 153.

Hayden Jones and his Ngahinapouri club-mate Justin

Morris (15) were fi rst and second qualifi ers in the Waikato under-16 trials.

Both have sub-sequently played three tournaments for the Waikato U16 team.

Jones has per-formed well at No 1, as has Morris at No 2 and 3.

Ngahinapouri’s team of Bevan Jones, Kyle Morris, Daniel Searancke, Oliver Aughton, Daniel Thomas

and Fai Tongdchsri have taken out the Brian Boys Prodrive Jun-ior Pennant. Pare Tongdethsri was the team reserve.

They beat Horsham Downs 5-1 in the semi-fi nal and Tokoroa 5-1 in the fi nal.

Te Awamutu hosted both the semi-fi nal and fi nal.

College teams fi ringTe Awamutu premier netball

teams College Open A and COGS I are showing the ben-efi ts of playing in the Regional League in Hamilton.

Diane Cox reports that the two top seeded teams outplayed their opposition in the opening round of the promotion-relega-tion competition at the Trust Waikato Te Awamutu Events Centre on Thursday night.

COGS I were too good for Pirongia Meateaters, winning 56-34 with some brilliant shoot-ing by Josie Brown and Steph-anie Clark.

The game was played at pace, with COGS I applying the pres-sure from the outset.

Trailing by 15 goals at half-time, Pirongia Meateaters fought back in the third quarter but could only fi nd the ring four times in the last quarter.

COGS Menz were no match for the younger College Open A team.

Coach Gaylene Dorssers has moulded this year’s students into a slick unit.

They are improving each out-ing and could be the team to watch this year.

Game of the night was un-doubtedly the topsy-turvy con-test between Kawau Tigers and TAS Ecloab.

After an even fi rst half ended at 13-all, TAS Ecolab gained some ascendancy to lead by three goals at halftime.

But some stern words from Kawau Tigers’ coach Paula Wa-nakore saw last year’s fi nalists apply the pressure and take the game 44-40, gaining maximum points.

TAS Ecolab coach Paul Niel-son was pleased with his team’s fi rst-up performance.

Marist Weka led from go to whoa beating Bailey Ingham Wanderers 53-42.

Play was halted by a brief power cut during the early

games on Thursday night.Three grading nights in

March resulted in the follow-ing seedings for premier grade teams: College Open A 1, COGS I 2, Marist Weka 3, Kawau Ti-gers 4, Pirongia Meateaters 5, Bailey Ingham Wanderers 6, TAS Ecolab 7, COGS Menz 8.

All other grades were greeted with brilliant sunshine on Sat-urday.

In the morning, 28 Future Ferns teams took to the courts

for their Skills Day, followed by the remaining teams contesting fi rst round games in the promo-tion-relegation competition.

The Future Ferns were put through two hours of catching, passing, pivoting, running, de-fending and shooting.

The session appeared to be enjoyed by all the youngsters.

These ‘novice’ players looked so proud to be putting on net-ball uniforms and being part of a team.

Te Awamutu Courier and Tracs give readers the chance to celebrate Steriogram’s national tour by winning a copy of the special edition Cd ‘Schmack’.

The CD features the hits ‘Walkie Talkie Man’, ‘Go’, ‘Road Trip’, ‘White Trash’ and ‘On and On’, plus four new tracks.

Steriogram hit Hamilton twice on tour, once for an all ages gig at The Meteor on May 22 and once at The Altitude on June 17.

Tickets are available from Ticketek and Tracs.

With a top 20 UK single, a Grammy nomination, and over 300 international shows behind them Steriogram are ready to pile in the van, buckle up and make way on their very own NZ National tour. And this is no small tour either, the band will play a massive 29 shows over a 5 week period whilst leaving no beers undrunk and no rest stops unvisited.

Steriogram are Brad, Tyson,

Jake, Tim and Jared.‘Schmack’ was released in

2004 after the band signed to world-famous label Capitol Records in Los Angeles and is now extremely close to achiev-ing platinum sales in NZ and the latest single ‘On And On’ can currently be heard across radio stations nationwide.

The boys are really excited to be back on New Zealand shores and to be unveiling the show that’s been travelling the world

for these past couple of years. This is a rare opportunity to catch Steriogram live before they pick up where they left off overseas - on the road making it big!!

Steriogram will be supported by local boys 48 May who ex-ploded onto the music scene in 2003 with their infectious catchy sound. Best known for their lat-est single ‘Leather and Tattoos’, they are sure to have punters throughout the country ecstatic about the prospect of seeing them perform on stage. De-scribed as “the result when Def Leppard and Sum41 collide”, the band are determined to show the world that they are just getting warmed up.

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 ‘Steriogram Competi-tion’ and make sure it reaches our offi ce by 5pm next Tuesday.

If you like action thenthis movie is for you.

It is packed full of itfrom start to finish. Iwatched the first XXXand not often do youfind a sequel better thanthe first.

This movie has muchmore of a story line andthe special effects aremind blowing. Lots ofhigh-speed car races,train crashes andweapons galore - you willnot be disappointed. 22

Apres VousBittersweet romantic comedy - as wistful as it is

whimsical, wryly amusing rather than laugh-out-loud funny - is as French as runny cheese. This latest outing for the prolifi c Auteuil, one of that country’s most generous and versatile actors, is as good as they come.

He plays Antoine, the maitre d’ at a classy Paris brasserie, who is married to his job and barely sus-taining a spiky relationship with Christine (Canto). Rushing through a park one night, already late for

dinner with her, he comes across the love-sick Louis (Garcia), who is about to hang himself after being dumped by Blanche (Kiberlain).

Motivated less by compassion than by the service mentality that runs his life Antoine rescues the would-be suicide, takes him home and fi nds him a most unlikely job, as sommerlier at his restaurant (the job interview is one of the comedy’s excel-lent set pieces.) He also undertakes to plead with Blanche to take Louise back.

If you don’t know what happens next, you may never have seen a French fi lm. But director Salva-dori, who is as interested in the human as the comic implications, keeps us guessing till the end.

The small cast is perfect: Kiberlain’s Blanche nails a French archetype - ethereally beautiful, ut-terly neurotic - and Garcia, of A Pornographic Affair a few years ago, shows a fl air for deadpan comedy that is close to tragedy at times.

Best of all, though, the fi lm exploits all the set-up’s comic possibilities - the interception of Louis’ mailed suicide note is knuckle-whitening and hi-larious. Its serious subtext about friendship and loy-alty, love and guilt, makes it a movie of substance. Recommended.

Te Awamutu Courier and Tracs give readers the chance to celebrate the forthcom-ing One Night of Queen tour by winning a copy of the CD ‘Queen Greatest Hits III’.

The celebration of the mu-sic of Queen, featuring Stars in Their Eyes winner Gary Mullen tours New Zealand in August.

Tickets and venue details are available from Ticketek.

‘Queen Greatest Hits III’ features ‘The Show Must Go On’ , ‘Under Pressure (Remix)’, ‘Too Much Love Will Kill You’, ‘The Great Pretender, and ‘Somebody To Love’.

“It was a rhapsody of the best of Freddie, Gary Mullen bringing him uncannily to life in a visual and sonic extravaganza, backed by a stunning band. To quote another Bohemian Rhapsody line “So you think you can love me and leave me to die? Freddie will be forever mourned, but he’s certainly not dead with Gary Mullen’s kind of magic.” Stephen Stewart, Dominion Post, 16th Sept ‘03

“…I would probably have believed that the band

performing was the real Queen and that Mullen was the real Freddie Mercury had I not been aware that he had died in 1991.” Seth Robson, Christchurch Press, 29th Sept ‘03

After winning the television programme ‘Stars in Their Eyes’ in 2000, where he re-ceived the most votes ever recorded, Gary Mullen’s life has changed.

Together with his band The Works he has performed his tribute show One Night of Queen to the world, including

sell out audiences in the UK and Germany. It is now regarded as the ultimate Queen tribute and will rock you New Zealand.

One Night of Queen featuring Gary Mullen and The Works is a state of the art production that comes to New Zealand direct from the UK.

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 ‘Queen Hits III Competition’ and make sure it reaches our offi ce by 5pm next Tuesday.
