Young prop on cloud nineBy Colin Thorsen

Unheralded Te Awamutu Sports prop Nathan White says the reality of being part of Waikato’s triumphant Air New Zealand Cup victory is still sinking in.

“It’s only happened once be-fore. To be part of a once in 14 years victory is pretty awesome,” says the 25-year-old.

“I’m only start-ing to realise what we’ve achieved now that I’ve seen a few photos of the guys with the trophy.”

White was one of fi ve players in the Waikato start-ing 15 affi liated to Te Awamutu Sports club, along with skipper Ste-ven Bates, Jono Gibbes, Sitiveni Sivivatu and Sione Lauaki.

Toby Lynn (who grew up here) was on the bench and Sam Biddles (Sports) in the squad, completing Te Awamu-tu’s Magnifi cent Seven.

White said the atmosphere at Waikato Stadium was unbe-lievable both during and after their 37-31 fi nals win over Wellington.

“It’s the fi rst time that I’ve

played in front of a packed house with everyone up sing-ing the Mooloo song.

“You couldn’t hear yourself think.”

The young tyro will never forget having a run, out in front with the trophy on his

team’s victory lap.

“Everyone was in party mode, the place was go-ing off. I thought it can’t get any better than this.”

Of the newer names in the Waikato side, White (like Rich-ard Kahui in the backs) has looked an enormously exciting prospect all season.

James McOnie, in the Sunday Herald, said: “White went

about his business with a cer-tain ‘sang froid’ - that’s French for cold blood.”

Waikato captain Steve Bates said White was turning into a tremendous footballer - “a great tighthead prop in the making.”

“Whitey has fi lled a massive gap for Waikato this season. He’s been outstanding for us.”

Tim Finn home for Waikato showTim Finn’s only Waikato show on his nationwide ‘Imagi-

nary Kingdom’ tour takes place in Te Awamutu’s Event Cen-tre on Saturday, December 2, the fi nale of a special six-date New Zealand tour.

The hometown concert is the elder Finn brother’s fi rst con-cert here for 14 years and is expected to be a sell-out.

Tim is touring his seventh solo album ‘Imaginary Kingdom’ - described as his best solo album - with his band. The album was launched in Australia earlier this month and Tim has al-ready played Melbourne and London. ‘Imaginary Kingdom’ is being released in the US on the major Manhattan/EMI label.

In a three decade career, his legacy of iconic Kiwi music is unparalleled.

Tim was a founding member of Split Enz and wrote or co-wrote tracks for eight studio albums. As well as his solo ca-reer following the demise of Split Enz, Tim was a short-time member of his brother Neil’s Crowded House, co-writing the Woodface album, has collaborated with Neil on two Finn al-bums and with Hothouse Flowers’ Liam O’Mainlai and Irish songwriter Andy White as ALT for one album. He is also a regular guest on many projects for friends such as Dave Dob-byn, Phil Manzanerra and former Enz and Crowdies.

Tickets for the Te Awamutu concert go on sale on Monday from the Te Awamutu Visitor i-Site Centre.TRUE COLOURS Charity show at St Pauls (left) and (right) Finn concert at Founders Theatre. Dean Taylor photos.

BRIEFLYYoung woman forced into car

Te Awamutu Police are seek-ing any information that will assist in an assault on a young woman in the early hours of Sunday morning.

The woman was walking on Teasdale Street and was forced into a dark coloured late model sedan. There were three males in the sedan, which was driven through Vaile Street to Albert Park Drive before the woman was released. The car had been lowered and had tinted win-dows and mag wheels.

Any information should be directed to Constable Leeanne Frost (872 0100).

Fault man falls A fault man was seriously

injured when he fell from a trans-former structure on Kakepuku Road on Monday morning.

The fault man was attend-ing a part power fault and was replacing a fuse holder when the accident occurred.

His fall from the structure re-sulted in several broken bones. He was taken from the scene by ambulance and later underwent surgery at Waikato Hospital.

A Labour Department inspec-tor attended the site of the accident. Both Waipa Networks and the Labour Department are continuing their investigations into the cause of the accident.

Big snapper back home in Kawhia’s ‘new’ museum

An expanded and improved Kawhia Regional Museum gallery is being re-opened to the public with a function on Saturday.

A number of honoured guests have been invited, including Otorohanga Mayor Dale Williams, Waipa Mayor Alan Livingston and representatives of Auckland Museum. Another ‘guest of honour’ will be a ‘34lb’ snapper - which set a national record when it was caught at Kawhia by Tom O’Connor in 1941.

The mounted snapper was taken away from the area for display at Auckland Museum.

Kawhia’s museum is just 12 years old and a lot of Kawhia’s treasures from the past were often removed to other museums for display.

The late Marcia Rewi instigated the move to bring the historic fi sh back to Kawhia and it was located

‘in the dungeons’ at Auckland Muse-um and restored to its former glory in preparation for its return to the small west coast seaside resort.

A display case has been created for the snapper - part of increased display space available in the re-vamped museum thanks to the efforts of Don Murtagh and Barry Buckley.

The opportunity to expand the museum came when Kawhia Fire Brigade relocated to its new shared building with Kawhia St John.

Mr Murtagh and Mr Buckley have spent the winter adapting the back half of the building previously occu-pied by the Fire Brigade, including polishing the fl oors and effectively doubling the size of the museum.

Members of the public are wel-come to attend the function at the museum at 11am on Saturday.

Taking time to enjoy grandparentsBy Cathy Asplin

Te Awamutu Playcentre patron Kaye Hewitt hasn’t had her grandchildren (or even her children) attend the local play-centre on a permanent basis.

But at 85 her love of youngsters and her desire to see them learn through play keeps bringing her back every week.

“Play is children’s work - so I love working with children. They especially need to know shapes, colours and let-ters as part of the process of learning to read.

“Playcentre gives their parents an op-portunity to learn too - I encourage them all to complete certifi cates.”

Mrs Hewitt began with Playcentre while living in Auckland.

“My daughter could hear children laughing and having fun nearby and wanted to know what it was all about. So we investigated and found it was a Playcentre.”

She eventually became a supervisor there and competed her New Zealand

Playcentre Certifi cateMany years later when her youngest

child was 15 and they were living in Te Awamutu, she wanted something to be-come involved in and spotted an adver-tisement for a playcentre supervisor.

“I said ‘I can do that’ and applied for the job.”

Over the years she has worked with hundreds of children and trained many of their parents.

This week she was a valued ‘extra’ for Grandparents’ Day at Playcentre.

GRANDPARENTS’ DAYThe beginnings of Grandparents’ Day

can be traced back to 1979 when US president Jimmy Carter instigated a national day.

“Because they are usually free to love and guide and befriend the young with-out having to take daily responsibility for them they can often reach out past pride and fear of failure and close the space between generations.

“Whether they are our own or surro-gate grandparents, our senior genera-

tion provides out society with a link to our national heritage and traditions.”

Playcentre spokesperson Leigh Glee-son says the day is a chance to honour and enjoy grandparents, and to appreci-ate the guidance of older people.

Children will be visiting seniors in the community.

ALTRUSA GRANNIESAltrusa ‘Grannies’ also popped in - to

read two picture books that they donat-ed to the Te Awamutu Playcentre.

‘Greedy Grumpy Hippo’ and ‘Perky and the Possum Trap’ were shared with an appreciative audience of children, parents and grandparents.

Many adults shared morning tea and took time out to play with the children - enjoying a rare spot of fi ne weather.

From page 1.“If he can work on a couple of things, I know he

has the ability to not just make Super 14 but a couple of notches higher than that.”

White said it was good to see fellow prop Craig West grab his opportunity with both hands when given the chance to play for Waikato this season.

“I’m rapt for him. I know his capabilities, we’ve played a lot together for the B’s and Colts.”

It’s early days, but there was much to admire about the 2006 Waikato front row of White, Tom Willis and West to suggest they have the potential to follow in the footsteps of arguably the greatest Mooloo front rows of all time - All Black trio Rich-ard Loe, Warren Gatland and Graham Purvis.

White is hoping his week is made complete by getting a call from Chiefs coach Ian Foster, with the news he has a Super 14 contract after making his debut earlier this year.

Bates, who has enjoyed a stellar season himself, said he was privileged to lead a side blessed with such world class fowards as Jono Gibbes, Marty Holah and Keith Robinson, and a backline the equal of any in the competition.

“It’s a pretty awesome feeling being national champions of the best provincial rugby competi-tion in world.

“It can’t be taken away from us. When people look back in time, they’ll read that Waikato were the best team in the country in 2006.”

Bates said he and all the other Waikato play-ers affi liated to Te Awamutu Sports would love to turn out for the club at Albert Park one day but reality suggests that is unlikely to happen.

“It is disappointing to think the next generation of kids will miss out on seeing these stars because of the demands of professional football.”

FOR SALE BY TENDER

By Colin ThorsenRushlee Buchanan won the much

anticipated under-19 women’s road race at the national road cycling championships in Palmerston North.

As expected, the race provided some fantastic racing with Te Awamutu’s junior worlds rider narrowly winning in a sprint fi nish from Rachel Mercer (Levin), with Beth Hamilton (Central Otago) third.

Buchanan’s time was 2.30.11, Mer-cer 2.30.27 and Hamilton 2.32.15.

National track coach, Terry Gyde said it was exciting to see such depth and hard fought racing in the junior ranks.

“It’s great to know that there are a number of quality young female and male riders putting their hands up to be noticed.”

Victory was sweet for Buchanan.The previous day Mercer was a con-

vincing winner of the under-19 wom-en’s time trial, upstaging (Buchanan) the pre race favourite who had to set-tle for second.

Buchanan said she gained a lot of knowledge from competing at the junior worlds.

“As far as results go, it was like a

roller-coaster rider for me, but the experience was invaluable.”

The modest teenager’s best result was sixth placing in the points race, an event she claimed the silver medal in at the previous junior worlds. She came within 50 metres of lapping the fi eld which would have given her 20 points and a medal.

Buchanan was one of several Te Awamutu Sports Club riders at the national road championships.

Ashleigh Stone fi nished eighth in the U19 women’s road race, while Nicole Treweek placed 12th in both the time trial and road race.

Shem Rodger followed up his fourth placing in the U19 men’s time trial with 11th in the road race.

Emma Petersen lived up to her reputation as one of the country’s leading allround cyclists in her age group, placing second in both the U17 girls’ time trial and road race.

Taryn Richards placed 13th (time trial) and 16th (road race) behind Pe-tersen.

Laura Gretton completed a good double with seventh in both the U15 girls’ time trial and road race.

Bob Puru was third in the Vet 4 time trial.

Inspired fl ag design

By Dean TaylorVanessa White’s vision of Te

Awamutu and district has won her $250 cash thanks to ‘Design A Flag’ competition sponsors L.J. Hooker.

Coincidentally, Mrs White’s design features the same corporate colours as the sponsors, although she says that is because they all share the red, yellow and black colours of Waikato.

Mrs White says as Te Awamutu is in the heart of the Waikato, she chose to use those colours.

She says the red also symbolises the rose to signify ‘Rosetown’.

The blue represents water, the Waikato River and all its con-tributaries, as a symbol of how signifi cant these features are on our landscape.

The mountain is Pirongia, as the most dominant on our land-scape, but also represent all the mountains in our region.

Mrs White says people in our

community identify with at least one of the mountains in our re-gion, especially as there is such a huge community involvement in the many mountain restoration projects.

The design of the fern repre-sents the life in our town and region, symbolising change, de-velopment and growth.

Each leaf represents a differ-ent facet of our diverse town, while the fern and mountain combine to embody our cultural identity as an important part of New Zealand.

The combined effect of all the elements is designed to give the impression of a Waikato sunset, embodying peace and tranquillity.

L.J. Hooker Te Awamutu manager Di-ane Tyer says the fi rm

is proud to be involved with the arts and support this design com-petition.

Contest organisers are hoping to have the fl ag manufactured so it can be fl own with pride.

L.J. HOOKER ‘Design A Flag’ winner Vanessa White, with son Caleb and Hooker Bear, is congratulated by Te Awamutu manager Diane Tyer. 299066AD

Scream Rosetown Festival is the fi rst event to benefi t from new sign frames designed to publicise events.

Festival organiser Roz Liddell or-ganised the frames with local fi rm Bargain Timber, who made and erect-ed them for the cost of the material.

Mrs Liddell, who is the Te Awamutu i-Site Visitor Information Centre manager, says they are designed to take an 1800mm by 1200mm corfl ute sign, which for annual events, can easily be updated with date changes, new sponsors etc.

Scream Rosetown is advertised on the northern and southern entries to the town, with plans for a third stand on the Cambridge Road entry.

Mrs Liddell says other event organ-isers are welcome to contact her at the centre on 871 3259 to discuss us-ing the frames for their events for a small fee.

She says it would be good to standardise the loca-tions and signage in the town.

GALA DAYSt John’s Church is

planning a Gala Day for Scream Rosetown which will be bigger and better than their regular market days.

Saturday, November 11 from 8.30am until 1pm will see a host of attractions on the church grounds.

As well as market stalls - and an op shop in the Church Hall - there will be

displays of tai chi, medieval knights, fencing, archery and kickboxing, plus live music from Te Awamutu Brass and Te Awamutu Highland Pipe Band and safety displays from Te Awamutu Fire Brigade and St John Ambulance.

Other attractions include hot rods, a bouncy castle, Presto the Magic Clown, face painting, try your hand at archery... and lots of food. Rides on of-fer include Ride-a-Harley, pony rides and Clydesdale wagon rides.

BIKEALONGYoungsters are being encouraged

to register for the Bikealong with Ronald McDonald on Sunday, Novem-ber 19. The ride leaves Selwyn Park at 11am and go on a short journey with Ronald McDonald around Te Awamutu. All entrants will be in with

a chance to win spot prizes, as well as being in the draw to win a new bike and helmet donated by Te A’ Cycles.

Free bike and helmet safety checks are avail-

able prior to the ride, and there will be a chance to meet Ronald.

The fi rst 250 children to pre-regis-ter will receive a free bag of goodies,

handed out at the registration booth on the day.

Pekerau pupils fl ying high

TE RERENGA O PEKERAU (Flight of the Bats), accompanied by tutor Rangimarie Waitai (rear), at the Hauraki Cultural Competitions in Paeroa. Photos supplied

By Cathy AsplinPekerau’s kapa haka group left at

7.30am to make it to Paeroa for the start of the Hauraki Cultural Competitions.

But when they arrived they found they wouldn’t be on stage until 3.30pm as they were classed as novice perform-ers and not expected to threaten the more experienced groups.

While it was their fi rst competition and they weren’t from a bi-lingual school or kura kaupapa, they certainly proved they couldn’t be classed as novices.

With most of their points awarded in the high nineties and several maximum scores of 100, Te Rerenga o Pekerau (Flight of the Bats) surprised many with the quality of their performance.

The 20-minute long bracket for the junior section included an entrance (whakaeke), speech (whaikorero), mot-eatea (song of support), waiata-a-ringa (action song), haka, poi and whakawa-tea (exit).

They were also judged on a hymn (waiata tira), their presentation and the quality of their male and female leaders.

It was with great excitement that the results were announced.

Te Rerenga o Pekerau collected fi ve trophies in all - for their waiata tira, whakaeke, whaikorero, waiata and for their male leader (Tyrone Clark).

Pekerau teacher Jude Eriksen accom-panied the kapa haka group and says the children were ‘bouncing off the seats’ on the way home.

“It was very exciting for them, but they had worked hard for their success and some of the credit must also go to their tutor Rangimarie Waitai.

“Since she has been taking this group they have developed a real understand-ing of just how much they can achieve with hard work.

“Whaea Rangi sets very high stand-ards and is an outstanding role model - totally dedicated to providing every opportunity for these children.

“In turn the children are starting to show that passion she brings with her.”

Trophies won by the kapa haka group were formally welcomed to Pekerau last week so that the whole school could cel-ebrate their success.

It was an interesting quote I’d stumbled across. I decided to cut and paste it for possible future use. Sav-ing the fi le as “Other People” I added the reference and clicked the Quit symbol. Up came the offi cial, authori-tative looking message on my compu-ter screen and I read the question:

“Do you wish to save the changes you made to ‘Other People’?”

Wouldn’t it be great if it were that easy? Wouldn’t it be great if it worked that way? We could save changes to other people when they are in a good mood, or when they are being considerate, or generous, or helpful, or forgiving. Or when they are doing things our way, thinking like we do, or looking like us. The world would be a much better place!

Of the many letters in the Bible, one is from the apostle Paul to Church folk in Corinth who were struggling with how to get along with one an-other. Corinth was a metropolitan city. It was on a busy trade route and it was also near a port. So Corinth had residents from many different nationalities. People from all sorts of places started businesses there. The Church at Corinth, to which Paul was writing, was a refl ection of the city.

Many of Paul’s converts to Christi-anity were from the lower classes but some were quite wealthy. There were slaves and free, rich and poor. This diversity caused trouble. The free people looked down on the slaves. Some Jews refused to eat with non-Jews. Even at their combined church

dinners the rich would feast while the poor went hungry.

And it wasn’t just the nationali-ties or status of the people that were causing trouble, but their means of religious expression. One thought the church services were too noisy and another thought they were too quiet. One thought they were chaotic and another thought they were too structured.

So it’s not hard to imagine that the question that many of the people were asking themselves was, “How are we going to change other people?”

Paul gives much advice and many suggestions. Then he says: “But let me tell you about a way that is better than any other way.”

Try substituting your own name for the word ‘love’ in these words of Paul’s:

“Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. Love does not demand it’s own way. Love is not irritable, and keeps no record of when it has been wronged. Love is never glad about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful and endures through every circum-stance.”(1 Corinthians 13:4-7)

Our community is rich in its di-versity. Loving unconditionally gives an empowering freedom to be with people as they are.

Maybe that question should be: “Do you wish to save the changes you made to ‘Yourself ’.”

The annual Gracelands Fun Walk sets off from Anzac Green this year on Sunday, November 19 and again includes a 2km, 5km and 10km walk.

This year however, organisers are hoping that local businesses will get more involved and enter teams of three or four people who will compete in the 5km event, with a fun element added via a fancy dress theme.

Teams will also be en-couraged to challenge other businesses to com-pete against them, and fi nd ways to raise extra monies through sponsor-ship.

As in previous years, Gracelands will be talking to local businesses, especially retailers about donating items which can be used as spot prizes for the event.

It is also hoped this year to get more of the clients involved in the walk with the support of their resi-dential providers.

For the more energetic participants the 10km walk will set off at 9am, with the 5km walkers leaving at 9.30am, and the 2km at 10am.

Entry fees this year are $20 for adults, $10 for children and $50 for a family.

Business teams will be asked to contribute $150, and all entries will include walkers’ packs as well as spot prizes and a post event BBQ.

All entry fees include a donation portion that

will be used to provide im-proved services to Gracelands clients with disabilities.

While Gracelands staff will be volunteering their time to help with organising and marshalling, they would be grateful to receive any other offers of support or time.

Entry forms are available from the Gracelands Support Centre at 48 Teasdale Street, or by phoning Sha-ron on 871 6410 between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.

CHRISTIAN PERSPECTIVE


Pat on the backfor ‘Mr Charity’

When Arie Bekx read an article about a new movement called Trade Aid in 1980 he was impressed with it’s emphasis on fair trade for third world producers.

“I liked the fact that people would be given a fair price for their goods and that there was no slave labour or child labour involved.

“This meant producers could pro-vide a better lifestyle and education for their family and weren’t being ripped off by wealthier nations.”

He visited the only local outlet in Hamilton North and was so inspired he decided to take some of the wares and sell them in Te Awamutu, be-coming the town’s fi rst unoffi cial Trade Aid volunteer.

Armed with a hawker’s license he started selling items on the side of the road.

In the early days these included batik cloth, jute, soapstone carvings, wooden boxes and incense.

He had such a good response he sold items from the old Collins Av-enue shop for a few years.

When Gail Corboy and Faye Ri-

chardson set up a craft shop on the corner of Arawata and George Street he asked is they were interested in stocking some Trade Aid items.

These items were well received and when Creations moved into a larger premises on Alexandra Street (where Womenz is now) the Trade Aid stock moved too.

When the shop next door to Crea-tions became vacant Mr Bekx felt it was time for Trade Aid to have its own presence in the main street.

A Trade Aid trust was formed to run the business, with a group of volunteers to help run the store, and eventually Mr Bekx eventually left it in their capable hands to carry on his good work.

With a nickname of ‘Mr Charity’, it was no surprise that he headed off to help the hospice shop for four years.

A few years ago when Trade Aid was looking for more volunteers to operate the expanding store Mr Bekx was approached and was happy to help out again.

To page 12.

TRADE AID Te Awamutu co-ordinator Lois Titchener presents Arie Bekx with a long service award in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the Trade Aid movement over the past 26 years. 2990611AD

Trade Aid service recognisedFrom page 11.

With his return to the Alexandra Street Trade Aid store as a volunteer Mr Bekx had gone ‘full circle’.

“I just enjoy helping out wher-ever I can.”

He says Trade Aid has been go-ing for just over 30 years in New Zealand and people are becoming much more supportive of the principles of fair trade.

The store has had a number of upgrades and now sells a much wider range of items - including musical instruments, jewellery, books, toys and commodities such as coffee and soap.

Since the most recent upgrade the store has had a surge of inter-est, while the stock that is arriv-ing daily is sure to provide plenty of popular Christmas gifts.

The store is still run by a trust and any surplus is put back into education programmes.

Many of the trustees and volun-teers visited last week to see Mr Bekx receive his Trade Aid long service award.

It was fi tting it was presented on the International Day for Eradication of Poverty, some-thing Mr Bekx has worked hard to achieve over the past 26 years.

Big bulb savings being snapped up by Waipa residents

The Waipa ‘Household Effi cient Lighting Project’ was off to a brilliant start with an estimated 7,000 energy-saving Ecobulbs sold in the fi rst week of the promotion.

Waipa Networks consumers received personally addressed en-velopes from Waipa Networks Trust recently, containing a letter and a voucher to buy fi ve energy-saving Ecobulbs for $10.

Roger Johnston, secretary of the Waipa Networks Trust says Trustees of the Waipa Networks Trust are delighted with the initial response to the Ecobulb promotion.

“According to Cambridge New World, Four Square and Shell (Te Awamutu) staff, the bulbs are ‘fl ying off the shelves’ and the Trust has received many personal calls from appreciative con-sumers.

“We look forward to selling all 45,000 bulbs and to the local community benefi ting from the long term savings,” Mr Johnston says.

With the number of Ecobulbs sold in the fi rst week alone, the positive spin-offs for the local community are already being felt. As Waipa residents swap from ordinary lightbulbs to Ecobulbs the 7,000 purchased will save over $700,000 on power bills over the life of their Ecobulbs.

According to projects manager Natalie Cutler-Welsh this pow-er saving equates to enough electricity saved to power over 515 Waipa houses for one year.

As Ecobulbs have a lifetime ten times longer than ordinary lightbulbs, this will already prevent 63,000 ordinary lightbulbs from going to landfi ll.

Residents are encouraged to redeem their vouchers before the expiry date of November 19 (Genesis Energy customers are wel-come to present proof of their Genesis account in order to receive a voucher in participating stores).

Enquiries regarding the Waipa Ecobulb project can be directed to: 0800 326 2852 or the Ecobulb website www.ecobulb.co.nz.

Cambridge dairy farmer John Fisher (47) has been elected to Environment Waikato Regional Council as the representative for the Waipa constituency.

The preliminary count of votes in the Waipa by-election show Mr Fisher polled 2,669 of the 9,553 votes cast.

The proportion of the poten-tial vote is 31.8% with 10 spe-cial votes yet to be processed.

Mr Fisher was president of Federated Farmers’ Waikato province from 2002 to 2005.

He has previously worked with Environment Waikato, including four years on the regional land transport com-mittee and Middle Waikato

Project Watershed Liaison Sub committee.

The by-election was required under the Local Electoral Act following the death of coun-cillor Barry O’Connor three months ago.

It is expected that the fi nal results will be available by Fri-day, March 24.

Fellow Cambridge area resident, Fiona Judd was Mr Fisher’s closest rival, 534 votes behind him on 2,135 votes in the prelimary count.

Juliet Macdonald was next with 1979 votes, followed by Te Awamutu’s two candidates - Ashley Reid on 1492 and James Parlane on 1224.

Environment Waikato’s Waipa seat goes to John Fisher

Aviation expo fl ying our wayThe biggest aviation trade expo to ever be

seen in New Zealand was announced at a special launch in Hamilton last week.

The event will be over three days in October next year and will utilise the extensive exhibition pavilion and 45 hectares of outdoor display used for the National Fieldays at Mystery Creek near Hamilton.

Over 200 exhibitors are expected. The event will be the most concentrated display of aviation technology, manufacturing, maintenance and ma-chinery ever seen in a New Zealand business to business environment according to AVEX chair-man Wayne Green (former Waipa District Coun-cil communications offi cer).

“This event that will allow us to showcase the aviation industry in New Zealand as a dynamic technological leader, a sector with huge untapped potential for export earnings growth, and a future leader in transport management and delivery”

A recent industry capability study completed by NZTE identifi ed aviation as a sector of the

economy with signifi cant potential for export growth.

“Our own research as we went into the market identifi ed the huge success that New Zealand companies are having globally in everything from airport and runway construction to technology applications. Hamilton is again a hub for light aircraft manufacturing and now pilot training. There is a worldwide shortage of trained pilots for the massive fl eet upgrades occurring around the world and we have new composite technolo-gies that are leading edge and being developed by Kiwi companies”

Mr Green said it had taken almost two years of planning and research to reach the launch date and it’ll be almost another year till gates open.

“The critical success factor will be ensuring we deliver what the industry needs and wants – international standard industry seminars and conferences, a showcase business environment and buyers willing to engage in the sales process. We have spent the last eighteen months talking to the industry and developing the expo concepts. We have developed an event that we intend to be iconic, for the region, nationally and internation-ally.

Admission to the event will be free for trade visitors. However the third day will give the pub-lic an opportunity to view live aircraft displays, both fi xed wing and rotary. Mr Green is reluctant to give details but suggested a few surprises were on the way.

This project is not a one-off event but is a three stage process covering six years. The second event in 2009 will begin the incorporation of a larger air show component and by 2011 the organisers intend to combine a full airshow component with the trade expo.

Companies interested in exhibiting, participat-ing or sponsoring elements of the expo can see the full event profi le on the website www.avex.co.nz

Forsman spins six For the second week running

Te Awamutu Sports Green team clawed their way out of trouble, recording an eight wicket victory over Pio Pio on Saturday.

In a dramatic dozen overs following the morning’s drink break, Pio Pio capitulated from 83 without loss to 97 all out - los-ing 10 wickets for the addition of only 14 runs at Albert Park.

Chief destroyers for the home team were left-arm spinner Hamish Forsman, with 6-15 from 7.2 overs, and Mark Thorsen with 3-17 off nine overs.

Forsman was twice sitting on a hat-trick and Thorsen once.

Pio Pio’s Nathan Edgar (44) and twin brother Brendon (32) had given the visitors a fl ying

start to their innings.Opener Sam Stretton top

scored with a well-compiled 54 as Te Awamutu Sports Green waltzed to 97/2 in reply.

Te Awamutu Sports Green, Cambridge Blue and Morrins-ville share the lead in the South-ern zone of the Waikato Valley club competition after the second round of pool play.

Te Awamutu Sports Gold team were gallant in defeat losing by 17 runs to the ASB Cambridge White side at Te Awamutu Col-lege.

A Vern Woodhams century (110) was a feature of the visi-tor’s total of 229 all out.

Bowling for Te Awamutu Sports Gold, Graeme Stewart

claimed 3-38 and Andrew Lawry 3-42.

Stewart (41) and Calvin Blyde (33) top scored in Te Awamutu Sports Gold team’s reply of 208.

Pirongia were well beaten by an ominous looking Morrinsville side beefed up by former North-ern Districts representative Dion Bennett.

Bennett scored an unbeaten 108 and featured in a fourth wicket stand of 136 with David Tidmarsh (84) as Morrinsville posted a handy total of 256.

Gavin Foster made the most of his handicap winning Te Awamutu Sports Cycling Club’s 40km open race on Saturday.

Starting off limit (17 minutes) Foster showed his expe-rience keeping the chasing pack at bay around the small Paterangi circuit, then down Bowmans Road.

His winning time of 1.12.23 saw him fi nish one minute clear of second placed Sally Fraser (off 8 minutes), with John Williamson (11 minutes) third.

Fastest time of 57.03 was recorded by 10th placed scratch rider Craig Hassall.

Hayden McCormick rode through the under-15 fi eld to win the 20km race around the Sings Road circuit and back into town in 34 minutes 25 seconds. Jack Loader was second in 37.10 and Michael Kay third in 37.42.

Te Awamutu Sports in three-way cricket lead


Raewyn Coleman capped a magnifi cent season by winning the silver division net at the King Country golf championships in Taumarunui.

The Te Awamutu club member was in sublime form returning scores of 70 and 69 over the two rounds.

Her team, including club-mates Hazel Bryant, An-gela Thomson and Barbara O’Regan placed third in the silver gross.

Pirongia’s team of Bren-da Staples, Shirley Grey, Jill Webber and Rosemary Collinson-Smith were over-all net runners-up.

Staples was also indi-vidual runner-up in bronze gross and Grey runner-up in bronze net.

Earlier in the year Cole-man and her Waipa Work-ingmen’s Club partner Dawn Adams overcame atrocious weather condi-tions to win the ladies’ Na-tional Chartered Clubs Golf Tournament in Nelson.

They headed off a fi eld of 63 teams with the best combined stableford over 36 holes.

Further success went Waipa WMC way with the No 2 team of Kaye Buck-eridge and Angela Thom-son fi nishing third.

The inaugural national tour-nament was held at the Hornby Workingmen’s Club in Christch-urch.

It has subsequently alternated between the North and South Island every two years.

Two years ago, when the event was staged at Tokoroa, Coleman and Ros Evans were the run-ners-up.

Te Awamutu Courier and Tracs give readers the chance to cel-ebrate the fi rst New Zealand AFI concert by winning a copy of their new CD ‘Decemberunderground’.

AFI begin a downunder tour by playing Auckland’s St James Theatre on Friday, November 10.

Tickets are available from Ticketek.

‘ D e c e m b e r u n d e r g r o u n d ’ debuted at #1 on the US Billboard Chart, #3 on Australia’s ARIA chart, and charted in the Top 20 on New Zealand’s RIANZ chart.

AFI continue to avoid categorisation with ‘Decemberunderground’, fusing their unique blend of rock with electronic, hip-hop, New Wave and pop.

Without doubt, ‘Decemberunderground’ is AFI’s most adventurous step to date.

Having sold out every date of their last tour of Australia, AFI will now take their explosive live

performance - which has moved SPIN magazine to name them one of the 25 greatest live acts of all time - to large venues in twice as many cities.

The aggressive, energetic and almost epic AFI live show never fails to leave fans wishing for more.

The spectacle of thousands of fans singing every word to every song - from earlier albums through the genius of Decemberunderground - should be enough in and of itself to

make the AFI tour one of the most memorable of the year.

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

John Tucker Must DieIf hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, just

think of the damage three teenage girls could do if pushed to their romantic breaking points.

The destruction begins when three gorgeous, popular girls from competing high school cliques discover that they’ve each been dating the same guy, the school’s smooth and hunky basketball team captain, John Tucker.

After comparing notes, the fuming trio - reporter-wannabe Carrie, head cheerleader Heather, and vegan activist Beth - conspire to teach Tucker a lesson he’ll never forget. They decide to attack his game and make this guy, who is never without a date, ‘undateable’.

Unfortunately, every wacky, grossly embarrass-ing scheme they hatch to undermine ‘Tuck’ back-fi res and only makes him more popular than ever. Desperate, the girls realize they’ll have to step up their assault.

There’s only one way left to take: to break his heart… the same way he’s broken theirs. Carrie,

Heather and Beth then recruit a pretty, but anony-mous school newcomer, Kate, to get the jock to fall for her, so she can ceremoniously dump him.

These Foolish ThingsFollowing the fl uctuating fortunes of a young

actress as she struggles to emulate her famous mother’s glittering career, ‘These Foolish Things’ stars luminaries of the silver screen Lauren Bacall, Anjelica Huston and Terence Stamp, and features a strong ensemble of young British acting talent.

The three main protagonists - aspiring actress Diana, struggling playwright Robin and director Christopher - meet by chance and become em-broiled in an emotional love triangle.

Together they stumble through the often sinister pitfalls of London’s theatrical establishment on a rags-to-riches quest in a city on the brink of war.

The Devil Wears PradaWhen bookish Northwestern university gradu-

ate Andy Sachs interviews to become fashion mag-azine editor of Miranda Priestley’s newest lackey, Miranda hires her not for her lackluster wardrobe but for her intellect.

Inside the pristine Runway offi ces, Andy suffers through a never-ending list of impossible tasks, and is the subject of constant harassment by Mi-randa’s jealous fi rst assistant.

But to the dismay of her boyfriend and close friends, Andy slowly fi nds herself seduced by the glamorous world of fashion, and by Miranda her-self.

While Andy’s transformation comes largely in the form of new designer clothing, the makeover is mental as well.

What starts out as a fi rm belief in fashion’s va-pidity and in Miranda’s heartlessness gradually fades into the suspicion that the boss from hell might just be hiding a soul.
