■ From Page 1
Under the proposalthere would be five Cam-bridge ward councillorsand four Te Awamutuward councillors. Tworural wards — Kakepukuand Maungatautari —would continue to haveone representative each.The third rural ward,Pirongia, would continueto be represented by twoelected members.
There would also beone additional memberfor the Cambridge com-munity board, makingsix members in total —five representing Cam-bridge and one represent-ing Maungatautari.
These were the onlychanges proposed follow-ing a formal review ofhow well ratepayers andresidents are repre-sented.
Another optioninvolved having fewerwards, however council-lors wanted to retain theexisting wards to ensurerural representation wasmaintained and smallercommunities continuedto be well represented.
All councils mustreview their make-upevery six years to ensurerepresentation is fair andeffective.
Waipa’s reviewshowed population
growth in Cambridgemeant one more council-lor and community boardmember was needed forthat ward to comply withthe Local Electoral Act.
Grahame saysdemand for land for bothresidential and commer-cial development in Cam-bridge is at an all timehigh.
He says it is a com-bination of factors, suchas Aucklanders movingsouth, Hamiltonianslooking for better life-styles and rural folk mov-ing off farms and retiringto town.
But, he says, the mainfactor is people are realis-ing Waipa has a lot tooffer in terms of lifestyle,
good amenities, goodschools and, with theWaikato Expressway,great access to Auckland,Hamilton, the Bay ofPlenty and south.
“We have developedWaipa as ‘the home ofchampions’ and to someextent are the architectsof our own success,” saysGrahame.
“Other benefits of thegrowing population,which are already evi-dent, are more jobs, evenbetter retail, eating andentertainment optionsand investment intoimproved infrastructureand amenities.”
He says council isdoing its best to controland manage the growth
to give ratepayers thebest value for money.
The residentialdevelopment at NorfolkDrive will include a newcommunity hub and com-mercial development tothe north is bringing anumber of large busi-nesses together.Grahame says anotherstage is approved whichwill see a potential 1275homes on both sides ofthe former SH1 betweenthe new Te Awa LifecareVillage and St Peter’sSchool.
If the decision isapproved today the newrepresentationarrangements will be inplace for the 2019 localbody elections.

Cambridge Town Hall was rocking tothe beat of The Monroes as Harold theGiraffe and his friends from Waipa KingCountry Life Education Trust enjoyedtheir OpShop Ball recently
The ball attracted a crowd of 130, whojoined Harold, his good friend Nicky Wise— the trust educator who works withHarold in the mobile classroom — and thetrustees, who were treated to great musicand a delicious supper from Piopio’s FatPigeon Cafe.
Nicky says the array of outfits wasamazing — a lot of imagination had beenused to come up with garments from opshops (or the back of wardrobes) to dojustice to such an occasion.
“There were many tales of extensivehistory of items of clothing that were insome cases over 100 years old,” she says.
Trustees are delighted with the suc-cess of the evening, which helped raisefunds to keep the mobile classroom on theroad.
They thanked Wilks Penny Motor-cycles and Stihl Shop for providing itemsfor auction, and local businessesRosetown Print, Te Awamutu Paper Plus,Red Kitchen, Bunnings Te Awamutu, TheBird Cage, Sincerity Drycleaners,Pak’nSave Te Awamutu and Amber Gar-den Centre, together the many individ-uals, who contributed items, madedonations and worked together to ensurethat the evening was a great occasion.
Funds raised will be used to continuethe work of the trust, providing speciallydesigned programmes to over 6000 prim-ary and intermediate school childreneach year throughout the Waipa KingCountry area in the purpose-built state ofthe art classroom that travels from schoolto school.
Such is the popularity of the pro-gramme the trust is now seriously look-ing at the possibility of operating asecond classroom to ensure that theteaching can be made available to allschools that wish to be involved.
No government funding is received bythe trust, which currently needs to raisein excess of $100,000 per year to providethe valuable service.

Waipa District Council has$10,000 available to support busi-nesses who want to reduce single-use waste in their workplace.
The funds are distributed bycouncil through the Ministry forthe Environment’s Waste Levy.

“The fund aims to help busi-nesses reduce or remove single-useitems from their businesses andencourage the use of reusable pro-ducts,” she said.
“Funding will assist the busi-ness community to start its wasteminimisation journey andultimately reduce the amount ofwaste that goes to landfill.
“We want great ideas from busi-nesses in Waipa that will stop asingle-use product being gener-ated.”
Funding is available to busi-nesses that operate within theWaipa district.
A grant of up to $2000 is avail-able for each successful project.
Applications for funding mustbe received by 5pm on Sunday,October 21.
For more information and toapply, visit waipadc.govt.nz/businesswastefund or pop intocouncil offices.
Waitomo council hasmore debt says union
Waitomo District Councilhas more debt per ratepayerthan any other rural council inNew Zealand, according toRatepayers’ Report, the Tax-payers’ Union’s 2018 local gov-ernment league tables.
Neighbouring OtorohangaDistrict Council has $7705 lessdebt per ratepayer than Wai-tomo District Council — $2578compared to $9283 — andWaipa has the least debt perratepayer ($1340) in the region.
Jordan Williams, executivedirector of the Taxpayers’Union, says Waitomo DistrictCouncil is not only reachingdeeply into the pockets oftoday’s ratepayers, but alsolooking at higher rates fortomorrow due to its hugelevels of debt.
“The council has the high-est average residential rates inthe region, and compared to allother rural councils, moredebt on a per ratepayer basis.
“A contributing factor tothe burden that the councilimposes on its ratepayers isthe number of staff it employs.
“Waitomo District Councilemploys 30.1 staff per 1000ratepayers — more than everyother council in the country,including Auckland.
“Unsurprisingly, this highlevel of staffing translates to ahigh wage bill. Waitomo Dis-trict Council spends $1922 per
ratepayer on staff costs, morethan double any other councilin the region.
“By comparison,Otorohanga District Councilspends only $706 per ratepayeron staff costs. South WaikatoDistrict Council charges thelowest average residentialrates in the region ($1780),pays a low proportion of itsstaff salaries in excess of$100,000 (7.9 per cent) and hascomparatively low debt perratepayer ($1851).”
Waipa District Council notonly has the least debt perratepayer, but also the lowestfinancing costs ($54 per rate-payer) in the region.
But the Union says its aver-age residential rates ($2552)are the fifth highest of anyprovincial council.
“This suggests that thecouncil may be relying heavilyon ratepayers’ today, ratherthan spreading the financialburden of its spending to thosewho will benefit the most.”
Ratepayers Report is avail-able online and free of chargeat www.ratepayersreport.nz soall South Waikato ratepayerscan judge for themselves theperformance of their council.Report over-simplified
Generally speaking ‘leaguetables’ like this can havelimited value, because they aretoo simplistic, according to
Waipa District Council chieffinancial officer Ken Morris.
“They don’t recognise andexplain some genuinedistorting factors in terms ofsocio-economic and other vari-ables,” he says. “However, interms of Waipa District Coun-cil, our average residentialrates show us grouped with anumber of other councils at asimilar level to ours.
“In terms of rates, we’re notthe highest, and we’re not thelowest. We are comfortablewith that position.”
He says what council aimsto do is provide quality infra-structure, a good level of ser-vice across all our activitiesand great community ameni-ties.
“That’s what makes Waipasuch an attractive place to live.This is supported by residentperception surveys which con-sistently show a high level ofpride in the district.”
Waipa is shown as eighthhighest in the equity per rate-payer table.
This reflects the high levelof assets per ratepayer and thelow level of liabilities per rate-payer.
Waipa has a low level ofdebt relative to other councils,and has maintained this over anumber of years despite hugeinvestment into core infra-structure like water,
wastewater and roads.“Our debt has remained at
$13 million for the past fiveannual balance dates,” saysKen.
“It is forecast to increaserelatively steeply over the nextfew years as we continue tofund infrastructure.
“But we are in a soundfinancial position for this.
“Our new 10-Year Plan de-monstrates that we can affordthe ambitious programmeahead of us. Average annualrates over the next 10 years areforecast to increase by 2.2 percent per year. That’s much,much lower than many of ourneighbouring councils.
“Importantly, over the pastfew years we’ve consistentlyachieved around 50 per cent ofour income coming from rateswhich is much lower thansome other councils. Thatshows we have diverse incomestreams which help lessen theburden on our ratepayers.”
Ken says Waipa is a highgrowth district and this comesat a cost because they have tocontinue to invest in infra-structure to meet growth-driven demand.
“One of our key objectivesis to ensure that ‘growth paysfor growth’ and the investmentinto new infrastructure is nota burden on existing rate-payers.”

Angus beef preferred byMcDonald’s customers
Dave Howse Rod Slater
New Zealand McDonald’s cus-tomers have voted with theirmouths, enjoying over five
million kilogrammes of locally-sourcedAngus beef patties since the range waslaunched in 2009.
While gourmet burgers have beenon trend for the last few years,McDonald’s was one of the first to startusing quality, New Zealand Angus beefalmost a decade ago.
The burgers on offer have changedwith customer tastes over the years,but Angus beef has proved consist-ently popular, with orders of the beefrising by nearly 24 per cent in one year(2016 to 2017) and over 700 tonnes ofNew Zealand Angus beef used in 2017alone.
“New Zealand farmers have saidthat McDonald’s has played a pivotalrole in making Angus beef accessibleto Kiwis,” says Dave Howse,McDonald’s New Zealandmanaging director.
“Prior to that Angusbeef wasn’t that wellknown with Kiwis,and we also provideda new, consistentmarket for farmers inNew Zealand.
“Customers told usthey loved the taste andquality of the locally-sourced, Angusbeef, and the range of premiumburgers.
“We’ve also used Angus beef to
bring a new taste to old favourites likeAngus Mac and Kiwi Angus.
“In 2015 we launched the CreateYour Taste range, and we now
have Gourmet Creationsusing 100 per cent New
Zealand prime Angusbeef. As a sign of thetimes, you can even get
the Loaded Lettuceburger, with an Angusbeef patty in a lettucewrap.”
Beef + Lamb New Zea-land CEO Rod Slater commendsMcDonald’s for supporting the Angusbeef industry in New Zealand.
“Serving more than 5500 tonnes of
New Zealand-bred Angus beef is aremarkable milestone to reach,” hesays.
“Given the quality of our Angusbeef, it’s no surprise that tender beeflike this has been such a popularchoice on McDonald’s menus since2009.”
McDonald’s is one of the country’sbiggest buyers of New Zealand beef,including Angus.
In 2017 alone, the company pur-chased 5.5 million kilogrammes for thelocal market and exported 33 millionkilogrammes to McDonald’srestaurants globally, representing 10per cent of New Zealand’s total beefexports.

Keeping the tradition alive
Paterangi children practise leading their calves. Photo / Bethany Rolston
BY BETHANY ROLSTON
Mycoplasma bovis mayhave put a dampener oncalf clubs around the
country, but it hasn’t stoppeddetermined farmers inPaterangi.
Due to Ministry for PrimaryIndustries recommendations,most schools have barred calvesfrom attending calf days thisspring, with some schools ban-ning the rural traditionaltogether.
But Paterangi farmersWayne and Kate Shaw decidedthat wouldn’t stop them.
They are hosting a privatecalf club this Saturday onPaterangi woman JanetMacky’s farm.
Janet has given local chil-dren the chance to raise calveson her farm for the last 30 years.
Every year during spring agroup of children, mostly fromPaterangi School, get off the busat the farm gate after school andlearn how to rear a calf.
Over several weeks theylearn everything about calvesand practise calf club activities— leading, care and knowledgeof the animal etc. — and then goon to compete at their localschool pet day.
“The children were veryupset when they found out theywouldn’t be able to take a calf tocalf club this years,” Waynesays. “Some of them were even
in tears.”“Every year calf club is a
favourite school activity — ratedright up there with sport. But thisyear we’ve found another plan.”
The farm is hosting its ownevent and has printed special-edition ribbons to award the 16children who have entered.
On the day the children willbe split into three groups and willcompete in the same set ofactivities typical of a calf club
event. Local MP Barbara Kurigeris one of the judges.
There’s no risk ofMycoplasma bovis spreadingbecause the operation is entirelyin-house. The calves are born andraised on the Paterangi farm.
This year the children havealso been learning about biosecurity and must clean theirfootwear as they arrive on andexit the farm.
The Paterangi community is
invited to attend the event, whichincludes a free BBQ lunch and aspecial adult calf-leading com-petition.
Wayne says raising an animalteaches children important lifeskills like responsibility, hardwork, compassion and respect.
“The most important thingthey have learned is that there’salways a ‘plan B’ in life.
“Perseverance and dedicationwill always bring results.”

Several new footpathsare also in the pipeline.The footpaths, somejoining new subdivisionsto other urban areas, areplanned for Browning St(from Carlyle St toTennyson), Hemans St,Fred Parsons Cr, Grey Stand Vogel St in Cambridge.
In Te Awamutu foot-paths are planned forSwarbrick Dr and Rewi St.
“Long-term, council isaiming to have footpathson at least one side of allurban roads across the dis-trict, but that will takesome time to achieve givenother budget priorities,”Bryan says.

Waipa actors and support crew are tothe fore in a forthcoming production of theCS Lewis’ classic The Magician’s Nephew,on stage for the term three school holidaysthis October.
It is directed by Cecilia Mooney andproduced by Waikato children’s theatrecompany Stories and More and will play atThe Meteor in Hamilton.
The Magician’s Nephew, adapted forthe stage by Glyn Robbins, will takeaudiences back to where it all began. Aprequel to The Lion the Witch and theWardrobe, audiences will discover howNarnia came to be and how the WhiteWitch seized control of the land — not tomention the origins of the infamous lamp-post that would later guide Peter, Susan,Edmund and Lucy safely home.
Te Awamutu actors Vienna Seabrightand Phil Dalziel both feature, Philportraying the ‘magician’ Uncle Andrewand Vienna one of the woodland creatures— baby beaver.
The Magician’s Nephew is Vienna’sthird show with the company and Phil’ssecond. Both were also involved Stories andMore’s 2016 production of C.S. Lewis’ TheLion the Witch and the Wardrobe.
“It’s a lot of fun” says Vienna, 8. “I reallyenjoy being part of an all-ages show”.
Co-star Phil agrees — despite the factthat he is portraying the conniving andcowardly character Uncle Andrew.
“I remember reading the Narnia booksas a kid” says Phil. “It’s pretty great to be apart of the story I enjoyed as in adult life”.
Cambridge local Megan Goldsman starsas one of the two protagonists whodiscovers Narnia with her neighbourDiggory (Eli Oliver).
“I’m really enjoying the show, and thecamaraderie that has come with it,” saysMegan. “I feel like I’m reliving my ownchildhood memories and getting to bring tolife one of the stories I grew up with.”
Megan is joined by her mother Tessa
who is helping out in the costume depart-ment for the show, making Megan’s cos-tume.
Tessa is not alone backstage — Cam-bridge resident Kodee Redpath is a memberof the hair and make-up team.
Given the nature of the show and thefact that many of the characters are not‘human’ Kodee has her work cut out for herhelping to bring the iconic Aslan, alongwith other Narnian creatures to life.
One of these creatures is fellow Cam-bridge resident, actor Nick Hall, who isportraying Strawberry the horse.
“It’s been a really fun experience,interesting in the sense that the role ispresenting its own challenges, but fun,”says Nick.
Recommended for ages six and up, TheMagician’s Nephew will be staged at TheMeteor Theatre throughout the schoolholidays — October 5-13 — with selecteddaytime shows at 11am and evening showsat 7pm.

PET projectHow to paint when there are pets in the house
Choose durable paint finishes inhallways that are easy to wipeclean. This hallway, in a project byGem Adams, is finished in ReseneSpaceCote Low Sheen in R. Stack,R. Quarter Stack and R. ColorwoodWhitewash. Photo / Wendy Fenwick
Pets and their owners share a specialunconditional love — until Fluffy messes upyour freshly painted wall. Here are some tipson how to paint with pets.
The only thing more infuriating than a pet trailingdirt through the house is a more permanent print:paint tracks. Anyone who has repainted their houseon their own knows that placing a sign reading,“Caution, wet paint” isn’t a warning heeded by dogsor cats. In fact, pets somehow seem more likely tobrush up against a wall when it’s fresh with paint.And let’s face it, Resene Anakiwa only looks goodon your wall, not in their fur.
If you don’t want your animals to traipse throughyour work zone then check out these tips on howto paint with pets.
Create a pet-proofed barrierIn general, it’s best to keep animals away from paint.But, barriers between pets and their owners onlymakes the animal more curious. “Why can’t I get toyou?” they seem to ask. If you’re going to put upa barrier, then you should make sure there are moreinteresting things for your animal to do on the otherside. Leave out toys and treats, and maybe evenanother playmate.
Alternatively, you could always take your pet to
a neighbours for a little play date.
Take them to the kennelIf you want to play things safe, house your pets ina kennel or cattery for a couple of days or until thejob is done. You know the temperament of your petthe best — if they’re rambunctious, a little time awayfrom home might be your best option. If you’refeeling guilty, however, think of it this way, you canalso have your animal groomed so that when theyreturn, they’re fresh as a daisy. Spoil your pets sothey won’t spoil your finish.
Paint tipsRemember, the type of paint you use when you havepets is the most important. Thinking you have theperfect colour for your hall means nothing if it’s notpet-proofed. What do we mean by this? Pet ownersneed a paint that is easy to clean in case of smudgesor dirt marks, so it’s generally wise to opt for a highersheen finish. Choose at least a low sheen finish andwhere it fits your home’s look, a semi-gloss finish,such as Resene Lustacryl. The higher the gloss levelthe easier it will be to wipe away pet marks.
Once you have the pets taken care of, you canturn your full attention to decorating without thefear of paint covered pawprints through your home.

How it all beganThe Pirongia Cottage Crafts Festival Daybegan in 1978.A group of local cottage crafterswho had been involved in the relocation andpreservation of the original Pirongia Schoolbuilding (which is Pirongia Play centre as weknow today) planned a Festival Day. Initially thiswas for local stall holders only and a donationwas made from the Festival organisers to thePlay centre each year.Eventually Play centre took over the provisionof food as their fundraiser.
The Festival Days were intended as a wayto support local nonprofit community groups.The current Pirongia Craft Day Committeeis striving to see that this continues throughinviting such groups to hold food stalls (freeof charge). We also hope informing the localcommunity of the intention of Craft Day willhelp ensure this vision is upheld.

Where to investWith the New Zealand sharemarketreaching new record highs in recentweeks, Forsyth Barr’s analysts haveurged investor caution given theuncertainty arising fromGovernment policy and rising costs.At such times, it‘s important forinvestors to consider whichcompanies may be overvalued,so that investment gains can bereallocated to more favourableopportunities.
Taking into account earningsexpectations, compared toearnings implied by marketpricing, our analysts have identifieda number of key New Zealandcompanies that they considerexpensive. Conversely, a numberof companies in New Zealand andoffshore appear to offer better value.
The recent New Zealand companyreporting season showed a decliningearnings growth outlook for theNew Zealand sharemarket.This suggests that investors shouldfavour defensive investment sectorscompared to cyclical investmentsectors. In the current environment,we prefer the “gentailer” (electricitygeneration and retailing) sectorrelative to the property sector.
Gentailer companies havefavourable investment attributes asa result of the de-carbonisation ofindustrial and transport energy use,
which raises the prospect ofincreasing electricity demand.The sector also has lower gearing(borrowing) relative to propertycompanies. Also, earningsvolatility in the gentailer sector canbe managed through holding a mixof companies, as part of a broadlydiversified portfolio.
Forsyth Barr’s AuthorisedFinancial Advisers manageinvestment portfolios for clients.Portfolios are typically spread acrossseveral asset classes (fixed income,property, shares both inNew Zealand and offshore).They continually review portfolioswith the objective of identifyinginvestment opportunities within aninvestment mandate agreed witheach client.

New Zealand track riderstake their first pedal strokes ofthe international season at theOceania Championship inAdelaide next month.
A 37-strong squad of elite andjunior (U19) riders will contestthe championships at theAdelaide Super-Drome on Octo-ber 10-13. It is the first majorinternational event thatprovides ranking points for theworld championships andultimately the Tokyo Olympics.The continental championshipscomprise a full programme, andwill kick-start the season.
Te Awamutu Sports CyclingClub’s seasoned professionalrider Rushlee Buchanan andrising star Ellese Andrews willrepresent New Zealand in thefemale endurance events.
Three of the club’s young up-and-comers, Mya Anderson,Rueben Webster and PatrickClancy, have ridden their wayinto the New Zealand juniorteam.
Clancy is a specialist sprinterwho raced as a first year under-19 last year when the Oceaniaswere held at the Avantidrome inCambridge. His personal coach,Colin Dixon (Te Awamutu), saidhe is a “real good sprintingprospect” for the future.
Clancy showed his readinessfor the Oceanias by going under11 seconds for the first time in aflying sprint 200m qualifier intraining at the Avantidrome last
week. He will contest theindividual sprint events inAdelaide, as well as being part ofthe under 19 three-man sprintteam.
Webster will make his NewZealand Under-19 debut appear-ance when he contests theindividual scratch and pointsbunch races, along with the
individual pursuit. He is alsoone of six riders named in theteam pursuit of which only fourget to compete in each race.
Anderson will also be ondebut at this level when shecontests the junior femalescratch and points races, alongwith the individual pursuit andteam pursuit.
Dixon said all five Te Awa-mutu Sports’ riders are peakingnicely for the event.
“Rushlee and Ellese’s resultsover the past year speak forthemselves, Patrick is an out-standing prospect, Mya hasperformed outstandingly on thetrack over the past 18 monthsand Reuben has been a solid
performer,” he said.Cycling New Zealand high
performance director MartinBarras said it will provide alitmus test for the riders as theyprepare for a busy summer.
“Some of our track ridershave been training hard bothhere in Cambridge and in somecases overseas and are itching tofinally get on the track to com-pete,” he said.
“Others have been riding forprofessional road teams in NorthAmerica and Europe and justreturning home. They will needto be managed more carefully asthey get used to riding back onthe boards again.
“This is an important summerahead as we look to perform-ances at the world cups andworld championships includinga world cup competition here inCambridge which the entirehigh-performance group areexcited about. They do not get torace in front of their family andfriends very often, so that will bea real highlight of the summerfor them.”
The sprint group is led by theworld and CommonwealthGames champion men’s teampursuit trio of Ethan Mitchell,Sam Webster and EddieDawkins, who will come upagainst a powerful Australiansquad during the competition.
The team heads to Adelaide intwo weeks with some of this teamlikely to be included into squadsfor the first two UCI Track WorldCup competitions in France andCanada later next month.

The high-profile AmProYamaha Race Team in the USnow has another Kiwi to wavetheir flag.
Ngaroma crosscountry aceRachael Archer has signed on toride a Yamaha YZ250FX in theUS later this year and for theentire 2019 season of racing thewomen’s grade in the GrandNational Crosscountry Cham-pionships (GNCC).
It follows on from the success-ful career enjoyed byManawatu’s Paul Whibley, whoalso raced for the AmProYamaha Race Team, run byAmerican legend RandyHawkins. It was Whibley’srecommendation that led toArcher being offered the con-tract, effective from October 1.
“I am very excited about theopportunity I have been offered,”said Archer, 16, a year 12 pupil atSt Peter’s School in Cambridge.
She will be based in TravelersRest, South Carolina, with theGNCC competition venuesmostly along the east coast of theUS.
“I raced a couple of GNCCevents over there last year, thenriding a 125cc bike, finishingseventh in the women’s grade atround one. I was running secondat round two, but lost timerefuelling my small fuel tank andended up finishing the racefourth.
“I think I settled in prettyquickly and got up to speedpretty quickly too. I’ll be on a
250cc bike now and I’m goingfaster now than I was then too, sothe results might be even better.
Rachael wanted to mentionher past sponsors before shemoves on to the next stage of hercareer.
“I owe a huge thanks toPatrick Stafford (Husqvarna NZ)and Shaun Prescott (theHusqvarna Off-Road Race Team)for their support in the past.Without the support from them Iprobably wouldn’t be at the levelof riding I am at now.
“I have been offered a positionto race for the AmPro Yamahateam in America and it is anamazing opportunity that is veryhard come by. Personally, thisopportunity is super exciting andmeans I can continue to grow andpursue my dream of being a proracer.”
Her mentor, Whibley, was atwo-time outright winner of theGNCC series in the US in 2009and 2012 and he was a record six-time winner of the parallel Off-Road Motorcycle and ATV
(OMA) series. He was New Zea-land cross-country champion forYamaha in 2015.
“I am pretty excited to seeRandy (Hawkins) come on boardwith some support for Rachael,”said Whibley.
“I’m thrilled to see her haveher foot in the door in the US, butit’s icing on the cake that she’snow with Yamaha too.
“She needs to go over for acouple of events this year, just tolearn a few more of the US tracks,but also to learn how the new
team operates. She will beextremely competitive overthere..
“She is one of the youngestcompetitors in the class, but shehas the work ethic and drive andI know she can be a champion.”

Australian Indigenous basketballer Deba George is to front againstNew Zealand Maori at ASB Stadium, Te Awamutu Events Centre, onThursday night. Photo / Supplied
Waipa basketball fans have agolden opportunity to see aninternational basketball gameplayed out on their back door-step.
Te Awamutu is hosting gameone of the Tri-Series between theNew Zealand Maori and theAustralian Indigenous men’sbasketball teams on Thursday.
Coach of the New ZealandMaori Men, Jeff Green, ispreparing his team for anothercompetitive series.
“It’s game one and we’re look-ing forward to the series. It’sbeen so competitive against theAussies for the last five years,”he said.
“We need to come and get awin in game one so there’s not asmuch pressure on us going intogames two and three.”
Green said it’s always greatplaying in Te Awamutu as thelocals get in behind and supportthem.
“We are really looking for-ward to the games ahead. It is agreat opportunity for the peopleof Te Awamutu/Cambridge andsurrounding areas to experienceinternational basketball.”
The Australian Indigenousteam arrive in Te Awamutu onTuesday night and will be stay-ing in the Rosetown until Fridaymorning before heading on toTauranga for games two andthree.
Australian Indigenousspokesman Joel Kahlu said theteam are looking forward tocoming back to Te Awamutu.
“We are really excited to bereturning to Te Awamutu andplaying the Maori national sidehere once again.
“We really enjoyed the experi-
ence back in 2016. The crowd andvenue were fantastic and thelocal basketball associationmade us feel really welcome.”
Kahlu said the tourists have afew new faces in their group forthis year’s tour, so the openinggame in Te Awamutu is defin-itely going to be a memorableexperience for them.
“Even though we’ve been for-tunate enough to win the lastthree trans-Tasman campaigns,we always come into the seriesagainst New Zealand as theunderdogs. Once again, I thinkthey’ll have more size and talentthen us on paper, but we’ll justhave to find a way to stay
competitive. Hopefully, if we canget into our running game on theback of good defence, it will openup the floor for our shooters toget some good looks.”
Kahlu said the series is goingto be a lot of fun, especially withhow competitive both sides are.
“I think the people of TeAwamutu are going to be in for atreat. Hopefully there’s a bigcrowd in attendance for bothteams to put on a basketballshow.”
So come on down to the TeAwamutu Events Centre onThursday, September 27 for a7pm tip off. Tickets from EventFinda or at the door.
Facelift for Kihikihi Club
Kihikihi Bowling Club looking resplendentafter the indoor was refurbished by clubmembers. Photo / Supplied
When a long serv-ing member of Kihi-kihi Bowling Clubmade a contributiontowards upgradingthe kitchen, it set offa chain reaction toupdate the interiorof the club rooms.
Club stalwart RexMcGill says with theexception of layingof floor coverings,club memberspooled theirresources andenthusiasm to com-plete the tasks.
“Once the old kit-chen wasdismantled, removed and thenew fittings installed and thearea redecorated, thathighlighted the need to replacethe curtains,” he said. “Theladies responded and in a flash itwas out with the old and in withthe new.”
The women then decided theleftover vinyl from the kitchenfloor could be used in the toiletsand it could also do with freshpaint, a fix of the wash area andcabinets.
“That all looked great but thewalls in the main area needpainting,” said McGill. “TheColour Committee made thedecision and in no time volun-teers with brushes, sandpaper,ladders and anything else thatwas required, ensured the paintwas not going to stay in the tinsfor long. The only thing slowingit down was the colder weather.”
Small repair jobs aroundwindows and doors were alsoattended to. As the women’stoilets had a face lift, the mens’also got a freshen-up.
Now the bar area and the
ceiling really could not be leftuntouched.
Meanwhile, renovation workwas being undertaken on thegreens which had come underpressure in the latter half of lastseason.
McGill said the greens havebeen resoiled, levelled, strategicsowing, edging and drainage.
Almost all club members havebeen involved in part of the totalprocess, including providingfood and refreshments for thevolunteers.
“It proved what excellentresults can be achieved with themembers’ hidden talents andteamwork. It also enhanced thecamaraderie within the club,” hesaid.
So all is in place for the newseason when the club will be abrighter place able to better caterfor old and new members, visi-tors from other clubs, those whoenjoy twilight bowls, those whohold meetings and functions atthe venue and anyone who justdrops in to have a look and achat. All are always welcome.

Luis and HisFriends FromOuter Space
Luis and HisFriends FromOuter Space tellsthe story of an11-year-old boy whomakes friends withthree lovable littlealiens, who crashtheir UFO at anabandoned gasstation near hishouse.
In return forLuis' help in finding
the home-shopping channel stuffthey came for, they save Luisfrom boarding school and anexciting adventure follows.
You should enjoy this heart-warming film from the begin-ning to the end. The aliens are socute and funny.
SmallfootA Bigfoot named
Migo is convincedthat a human onlyknown as the‘Smallfoot’ is realand has to prove tohis tribe that it doesexist with the help ofMeechee and theS.E.S (SmallfootEvidentiarySociety).
It’s a 3Dcomputer-animatedmusical comedy-adventure film.
Shaggy andsweet rather thanimposing and scary,like all of his fellow
18-foot yetis, Migo (voiced byChanning Tatum) is preparingto take over an important job.
As his father (DannyDeVito), grandfather andancestors have before him,
he’ll fling himself through theair via catapult and ring thevillage’s enormous gong; an actthe community believesawakens a glowing snail thatlights up the sky each morning.
Night School
School holiday entertainment
How many of ushave tried to breakout of a rut intowhich life hasplaced us? We’re allthere at differentpoints in our lives,and some never getout of that defininggroove.
Night Schoolskilfully capturesthree people push-ing themselves tochange the arc oftheir lives byreturning to theworld of educationto get their highschool diplomas.
There are manylessons to takeaway from thisrewarding windowinto lives other
than our own, but one thatstands out is that anyone con-sidering dropping out of highschool and returning latershould remember that life getsharder as you get older.
Sure, you think there aredistractions when you’re ateenager, but imagine havingto go to school while working topay your bills or taking care of
your daughter as a singleparent. Night School neverturns into a sob story or amanipulative tale of redemp-tion—it merely chroniclesthree unforgettable people, thekind who are easy to root forand allows us to realise thatthey’re not that different fromus or the legions like themtrying to better themselves.
