BRIEFLYContest hit by Cup shock

After the disastrous quarter-fi -nal results for New Zealand and Australia there are only eight live entries in the Te Awamutu Courier Rugby World Cup com-petition to name the winner of the 2007 tournament.

If no-one correctly names the winner, the $250 prize will be added to the winner of next week’s competition (to name the correct score in the fi nal, entries in Tuesday’s edition) giving a possible total prize of $500.

Get rid of graffi ti - OKGet rid of graffi ti - OK

By Grant JohnstonWhile many residents are doing

plenty to beautify Te Awamutu, a minority are rubbishing it through graffi ti.

Forget any romantic notions about graffi ti being the work of talented but frustrated art-ists - what we are seeing in Te Awamutu on an almost weekly basis is the consistent defacing of public and private property with tagging that has the all the artistic merit of a dog peeing on a wall.

Graffi ti is not just thoughtless - it is selfi sh in the extreme - ‘my right to scribble in spray paint is more important than others’ rights to have their property left in tidy and attractive condition’.

The issue has been raised by residents at public meetings to meet candidates for this month’s local government election - with the two paramount problems be-ing how to prevent graffi ti in the fi rst place and how to remove or obscure it once it has appeared (with concerns over how long this

can take in some cases).On the second question the

answer is complicated by the fact that Council has no jurisdiction to repair graffi ti on private build-ings.

An attempt is made towards rapid remedy when the tagging is on public property and there is an arrangement in place between Council and Waipa Networks in relation to the latter’s property - but removing the graffi ti from private buildings is up to the owner and especially in the case of absentee landlords, can take considerably longer.

There were two thrusts to answers from candidates to the issue of preventing graffi ti in the fi rst place - Community Constable Richard Hurrell and councillor Hazel Barnes said the community patrols and po-lice were having some success in identifying the culprits, with public assistance welcomed.

Video evidence gathered by the community patrols was valuable.

Police say they would always

look to prosecute offenders, or if youths were involved, making them accountable and if appro-priate have them paint out the damage they caused. However, apprehending offenders for graf-fi ti often proves diffi cult and the Police rely on information from the public.

There was a possibility that closed circuit cameras could be placed in the CBD to identify offenders.

Current councillor Graham Jull said a register of spray paint cans sold might assist with iden-tifying offenders.

Youth worker, Anthony Camp-bell said rather than focussing on ‘catching the baddies’, the problem really revolved around tackling youth frustration issues - giving youth pride in them-selves and their community.

Mr Campbell and others, mainly from local Christian com-munities are working towards building a youth centre for Te Awamutu.

One resident recently outlined

his concerns about tagging in a Letter to the Editor (unable to be printed because no name was supplied):

“I came to live in this town about four years ago from Eu-rope. I was very impressed by the impression the town gave me and my family. A very clean, beautiful town which we were proud to be living in,” he said.

“However, of late, this has changed due to the increasing amount of tagging that seems to be absolutely everywhere.”

Te Awamutu’s Safer Commu-nity Trust is considering a project involving Resene where old paint is recycled and made available for graffi ti paint over. If you want to help with this keep your old paint and watch future Couriers for details of when and where col-lections will be conducted.

Whether the real answer lies in surveillance security or provision of a positive alternative, moves are defi nitely afoot to curb the proliferation of graffi ti visually polluting the local landscape.

YOUR LETTERS

Rugby is a huge part of New Zealand culture, but do rugby and alcohol have to go hand in hand?

My son has played club rugby from eight years of age and rep rugby right through to Waikato Rangers.

My concern is that at every prizegiv-ing or fundraiser, the bar is always open to parents/families to purchase and consume alcohol. I do like to have a drink myself, but there is a time and place.

These boys play rugby from an early age, being constantly exposed to alco-hol. I’ve seen parents sitting on cars, drinking box of beer at practices, at functions getting drunk, embarrassing themselves and their children.

parents have three or four handles, get in the car with the family and drive homer.

As a registered nurse I have come across so many accident victims and medical conditions caused by alcohol.

Playing sport is so good for our chil-dren’s physical and mental wellbeing - yet they are growing up thinking al-cohol has to be included. What are we teaching them?

I would like to praise Te Awamutu Marist Rugby Club, who never opened the bar at any games, practices or func-tions. The parents survived without having a drink.

JESSICA LENNANTe Pahu

If alcohol rugby requisite - what message to young?

Rotary Book Fair benefi tted from ‘guardian angel’

I would like to thank all those that contributed to the community by attending the Te Awamutu Rotary Club’s book fair this last weekend.

We met somebody very special at the time of clear-ing the Church Hall on Sunday.

This unknown lady had come in to buy some books, saw what was happening and joined in fully helping us do this awesome task and stayed until the end.

I would like to thank her so much as I was unable to thank her at the time for she had quietly gone by the time I looked around to thank her.

SALLY BODLEYTe Awamutu Rotary

World Cup headlines - “France sends last of the ‘minnows’ home”.

I was saddened to hear a number of our senior rugby commentators refer to smaller, less experienced teams at the World Cup as minnows.

I even heard New Zealand coaches express doubts as to whether these coun-tries’ teams should be allowed to play with the big boys.

Surely a team that can’t even get

through the quarter fi nals is in the ranks of minnows.

We will have to prove our rugby skills on the fi eld and not by mouth if we are to be permitted to compete again.

My congratulations to our All Blacks. You played your best and we are proud. It just wasn’t good enough.

JOHN S. MOOREPirongia

Using rugby minnows tag for lesser teams has come back to haunt us

With only a few days out from all local body elections, it is worthy to note that the 2002 Local Goverment Act introduced only a short time ago has seen increased spending in councils.

It is surely time for New Zealanders to wake up to the value of referendums, giv-ing people real power, real choice and real democracy.

It is time for councils to sit up and take notice of the ordinary folk on the street and I therefore sincerely hope that the public look long and hard at who they are voting for and put the tick only against those wishing to bring change via refer-enda.

Festival attracts top brassTe Awamutu Brass is proud to

bring New Zealand’s current top brass band here for a concert as part of the Rose and Cultural Festival.

Dalewool Auckland Brass is one of New Zealand’s most successful brass bands.

Over the past 10 years the band has won eight championship titles in either New Zealand or Australia, making it the most successful Southern Hemisphere brass ensem-ble of the past decade.

Now they will be playing their fi rst ever Te Awamutu concert on Sun-day, November 4 in the Te Awamutu College Hall at 2pm. Tickets will be available at the door.

In 2001 the band launched the Re-gency Duty Free Subscription Con-cert Series with immediate success.

Believed to be the fi rst of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere for a brass band, the Subscription Con-cert Series is now in its seventh year and is an integral part of Auckland’s musical calendar.

In recent history Dalewool Auck-land Brass were crowned Champion Band of New Zealand in 2003 and 2004 and in 2005 won the prestig-ious ‘Band of the Year’ title.

In September of 2004 the band travelled to the United Kingdom to compete in the prestigious British Open competition, placing in the top ten at the world’s premier Brass Band Competition.

This year Dalewool Auck-land Brass was the top placed New Zealand Band at the National Brass Band Championships, held on Auckland’s North Shore in July.

Looking ahead, the band aims to carry on its championship successes as well as explore new horizons in brass music and entertainment.

Conductor Nigel Weeks originates from Wales and started playing the trombone in Tredegar Youth Band at the age of 14.

His fi rst conducting experi-ence was whilst studying at Caer-leon College and he took the local village band, USK Silver Band. In 1979 he was

appointed conductor of the Crosskeys Sil-

ver Band. This proved to be very

successful partnership. He started with only a handful of fourth section players, but within fi ve years they had been promoted to Championship sec-tion and during this period he

also formed and directed one of the countries most successful Youth Bands.

In 1986 he returned to Tre-degar Town Band directing both the Youth and Senior Bands with whom he had a tremendous amount of success, including a third placing at the European Championships.

In 1994 Nigel fl ew out to NZ on a two-year contract with Dalewool Auckland Brass where the band enjoyed a pe-riod of great success under his musical direction.

He was also in great demand as an adjudicator, band trainer and examiner across Australa-

sia and the South Pacifi c. Mr Weeks was also the Musi-

cal Director and Course Direc-tor of the National Youth Band from 1998 to 2002.

He returned to the United Kingdom in 2005, where he completed his Masters in Con-ducting at Salford University.

During his time in the UK Mr Weeks was approached to conduct many top bands includ-ing YBS, Brighouse and Ras-trick, Cory, Desford and Mount Charles, but it is will a great deal of pleasure Dalewool Auck-land Brass welcomed Mr Weeks back to continue his legacy of excellence.

If you have a medical condi-tion, it is not a barrier to expe-riencing the benefi ts of exercise say Sport Waikato’s Waipa co-ordinators Janis Jeffers and Paula White.

“Moderate activity each day can improve your health.

“Sport Waikato helps to de-liver Green Prescription (GRx), a programme where doctors or nurses can prescribe physical activity and nutrition advice free of charge, or you can get a ‘green script’ straight from Sport Waikato. Please contact us to fi nd out if GRx is right for you (details below).

“If you have diabetes, you will know that you have an increased risk of heart disease, kidney disease, eye damage cir-culation problems and infection. However, you may fi nd that 30 minutes a day of moderate activity will provide health ben-efi ts. Regular physical activity helps to lower the risk of nearly all of these problems.

“Just remember, if you have had a heart attack regular physical activity is a vital part of your return to a normal life.”

The Waipa District page on the Sport Waikato website lists a large number of options for low-cost exercise groups held weekly in Te Awamutu.

These range from walking groups to a Seniors Circuit Class held at Bruce’s Fitness Centre weekly.

“Most are very low cost, and there are options like a ‘Sit and Be Fit’ class, suitable for people with limited mobility or loss of balance.”

IHC New Zealand strongly supports the repeal of Disabled Persons Employment Promotion (DPEP) Act because it gives workers with intel-lectual disabilities equal rights in the workplace.

IHC’s Director of Advocacy Trish Grant says that IHC supports inclusive workplaces.

“The sheltered workshops of old saw people

with intellectual disabilities kept separate from communities.”

“IHC Advocacy has talked to thousands of peo-ple with intellectual disabilities and their fami-lies, and they have told us consistently that they want opportunities for real work and they want real pay for the work they do.”

By Cathy AsplinA poem and a surf-

board provided just the right inspiration for an award winning display at this year’s Waikato Home and Garden Show.

Te Awamutu design-er Margaret Verkroost and her team at ‘Red Red Red Interiors’ cre-ated a stylish retreat to not only collect the New Zealand Design Award, they also picked up the People’s Choice Award.

They transformed a blank 4m x 5m space at the show into a master bedroom and courtyard with an outdoor bath - quite a demanding task to complete in two and a half days.

Mrs Verkroost says they based their idea on updating a family bach at Raglan.

“The competition required us to create a calm retreat using past and present. When we think about relaxing most Kiwis think about the beach.

“We decided to treat the competition exactly as we would a job for our client. We created a family who wanted to continue the quirky style of their bach, but give it an update - breathing new life into it, but still retaining its sense of history.”

The result fea-tured the poem in a headboard frame, surfboards covered in fabric, a rolling table to use when reading the papers or having breakfast in bed, fresh

white linen highlighted with coastal colours and some stylish new fl ooring.

Old doors, chairs, cabinet and a bath were recycled, with a water pump, lamps, shells, jandals and fl owers added as fi nish-ing touches,

While the ideas and designs came from Red Red Red, there was plenty of community support to create the fi nished design.

Mrs Verkroost says local companies were hugely supportive of the project and pro-vided some wonderful products and skills.

“We were so fortu-nate that lots of local

people were prepared to go the extra mile for us - in some cases they had very short notice.”

Many also helped in-stall the display - the walls had to be painted before everything from the fl ooring to the swags on the ceiling were put in place.

“We fi nished in the time frame given to us, but only one other person was fi nished in that time.”

When the awards were announced after the Waikato Home and Garden Show ended, it was clear that there had been overwhelm-ing enthusiasm for the Red Red Red display.

Judges were unani-

mous in their choice. Feedback from them listed it as a ‘clear win-ner’.

“A fantastic inter-pretation of the brief and attention to detail, right down to the shells and the surfboards.”

The People’s Choice Award, which was voted for during the event, also had it as a clear winner.

Pieces from the display are currently featured in the Red Red Red store window, while a Te Awamutu Courier feature next week will show the dis-play in detail, with rec-ognition of the many people and companies that assisted.

Game animal review fi res up deerstalkers

A review into the future man-agement of deer, pigs, chamois and tahr could have serious implications for New Zealand hunters, says Te Awamutu Deerstalkers Association.

There will be a meeting at Waikato Deerstalkers Asso-ciation clubrooms at 138 Dey Street in Hamilton on October 13 at 2pm to discuss the issue.

“Everyone and anyone who has an interest in hunting, the great outdoors and New Zea-land wildlife and game animals in general is urged to attend,” says Murray Rowe, president of Te Awamutu Deerstalkers Association.

“Or they could check out the www.gameanimalpanel.org.nz website in order to support these animals who have been a big part of the New Zealand way of life for more than 150 years,” Mr Rowe says.

The review will be conducted by an independent panel of fi ve people, following a directive from the Minister of Conserva-tion.

“As New Zealanders, we are being given the chance to see the status of these animals reviewed and with the hope of seeing them given the status

of a valued and sustainable re-source - as opposed to pests as they are currently deemed,” Mr Rowe says.

“We believe these game animals can be managed by an independent body that will ensure that all aspects of their

existence and the area in which they live are sustainable for the future of our cultural and rec-reation heritage way of life that we all value so much.

“Your involvement is para-mount to the future of this way of life.”

MURRAY ROWE, Te Awamutu Deerstalkers Association president, says hunters support management of game animals by an independent body. Photo supplied.

Te Awamutu and Cambridge Bridge Club members met re-cently to for the annual playoff for the Fairland’s Shield.

Fierce competition resulted in a cliff-hanger score in which Te Awamutu retained the shield by the barest of margins.

In the Monday Champion-ship pairs with three of the six nights played the Dawn Fookes/Lesley French partnership held a slender lead over the Barbara

Chancellor/Bill Crombie part-nership.

Currently being played are the Junior and Intermediate championship pairs over four Wednesday nights.

Golfers bounce back from AB loss Golf was a little slow starting

at Pirongia following the All Blacks loss to France.

Many members stayed home to watch the match, before coming to the course to play - with some looking a little shellshocked.

Several were also competing at the King Country Champion-ships in Te Awamutu, however, 57 still turned out to compete for the MacIntyre Trophy and the Watson Cup.

Both competitions are based on net, with the MacIntyre Tro-phy for seniors and the Watson

Cup for juniors.In the junior competition Pe-

ter Robertson continued a great season by shooting 83 off a 20 handicap for a net 63 to claim the Watson Cup from Merv Fox, who managed a net 65 and Peter Druce a further shot back on 66.

Sam Russo thrived in the sunny, calm conditions to claim the MacIntyre Trophy.

The 13 handicapper shot a gross 79 for a net 66 to take the honours by one shot from 12 handicapper Phillip Eyre, with and Simon Mills a further shot

back on 68.Twos were scored by Jim

Dunn, Tony Polkinghorne and Eddie Hughes, whilst John Al-ston claimed an eagle on the par fi ve, 15th.

Other scores - Seniors: Eddie Hughes 69, Bryan Ryburn, Jim Dunn 70, Bill Fox 71, Brent Keene, John Creek, Ray Shaw, Gary Rus-so, John McCormick 72.

Juniors: Josh Russo 67, Barry Cavey, John Alston, Ernie Mitchell 69, Peter Differ 70, Adrian Elliott 71, Arthur Mitchell, Barry Ford-ham, Graham Tocker 72.

Warning of cyclists racing on local roadsTe Awamutu Sports Cycling Club’s summer

series kicked off on Tuesday night with a large number of competitors in at least three of the grades.

The summer series sees cyclists racing from Bank Street onto Puniu Road, out around Mt Kakepuku, and back again.

With this in mind the TASC organising com-mittee felt it was important to issue a warning to local residents.

Motorists should be aware they may meet up to 40 cyclists racing at a time, making passing dif-fi cult on these roads on Tuesday evenings (6pm-7.30pm) for the next nine weeks.

Penny toughs out IronmanTe Awamutu’s Mark Penny

showed that he and his Suzuki RM-Z250 were built to last the distance - winning the ironman section of the Hawkes Bay Six Hour dirt bike chal-lenge on Saturday.

The prestigious annual race, again sponsored by Suzuki New Zealand, was just the sort of challenge the 33-year-old Penny likes to accept.

But even he had thoughts that he may have ‘bitten off more than he could chew’ as the six hour mark approached.

With time left to run on the clock, Penny was waved through and told he’d have to complete another one of the 49-minute laps. In doing so, he pushed the race duration to a muscle-sapping six hours and 36 minutes for the Suzuki ace.

The Wilksbrooke Motors parts manager eventually crossed the line 10th overall - the outright victory going to Rotorua’s Michael Phillips and Whakatane’s Joel Byrne, shar-ing a ride on a 250cc two-stroke Kawasaki - but his result was easily good enough for him to win the iron-man trophy.

Penny was one of only 14 riders of the 122 who started the event to complete eight laps. Runner-up in the race-within-a-race for ironman honours, Taranaki’s Greg Ngeru fi n-ished 16th overall - his race ending on completion of lap six.

Penny is no stranger to the rigours of this big race. He’s been racing the event ‘for a few years now’ and has won it twice previously.

On those earlier occasions he teamed up with Cam Negus (they won outright in 2002) and Brad Tho-mas (outright winners in 2003).

This time Penny rode it alone, one of the special breed of men and women who can survive such a gru-elling test of stamina, strength and character.

“Whenever I race, it’s always my goal to win, but I’ll settle for 10th and winning the ironman class,” he said.

“The bike’s amazing. I have been racing a Suzuki RM 125 in the New Zealand Motocross Championships and this bike was just sitting there waiting for me to use for this cross country race.

“It’s had nothing done to it, it’s still got dirt on it from the last time I raced it at the Tarawera 100 in July.”

Penny does not fi nd it hard jump-ing off a 125 two-stroke and onto a 250 four-stroke. “These bikes are just so easy to ride but, having said that, I did have a couple of crashes early in the six-hour race.

“I was nearly last at one stage and spent the whole day working my way through the fi eld.”

Penny now switches back to his RM 125 to continue his national mo-tocross championships campaign, with round two of the series set for Rotorua this weekend. He is cur-rently running seventh in his class.

Members of the Freeman Court craft group have been working hard to prepare a huge range of items for this weekend‛s gala day.

The group also uses a range of crafts and loads of clever ideas to create items for the gala.

The process of creating goods also provides them with plenty of interesting activities.

Diversional therapist Erin Lyford says she is always on the look out for ideas the group can use, while donated materials are always welcomed.

Amongst the goodies created in the kitchen are a range of jams, pickles, relishes, pickled onions and sauces.

“We use many of the favourite old recipes.”

Other articles created this year include knitted toys, dolls and clothes, cushions, mats, tissue box holders, bath cleaners, casserole carriers, oven gloves, decorated soaps, blankets, covered coat hangers and toys.

Plants, produce and bric-a-brac are also popular at the gala.

Gift boxes contain items such as face cloths and soaps.

Gift baskets can be created using

a number of the bottled specialities, as well as chocolates, crackers and cheese.

The baskets are very popular as Christmas gifts, while the residents create them during the year as corporate gifts for a number of clients.

These have been sent as far away as Dargaville and the South Island.

Raffl es and a sausage sizzle will also be available at the Freeman Court gala day which kicks off at 9am on Saturday and will run until around 12 noon.

Mrs Lyford says the gala day is always well patronised, with many people arriving early.

Proceeds from the day go towards purchasing items needed for the home and for residents‛ outings.

Recent additions have included a deep freeze, DVD player, lounge suite, drapes, chairs and hairdryers. A new computer was also purchased with assistance from the Waipa Workingmen‛s Club.

This year proceeds will go towards paying for a new barbecue.

For further details about this weekend‛s Gala Day contact Freeman Court (ph 871 5260).

Freeman Court opened as Te Awamutu Eventide Home in 1970.

It was designed to be a home for the independent elderly, initially opening with 25 beds - another 15 were added with the opening of the Bryant Wing.

In 1983 it was renamed Freeman Home.

The recreation room was extended in 1992 to allow for work with a diversional therapist and in 1997 there was a further renaming to ‘Freeman Court‛.

The nurse manager fl ats were converted in 1998 to allow three more bedrooms.

Today there are 43 fully utilised bedrooms, with further people coming into the home for meals and recreation.

A fundraising campaign is currently underway to allow for a major upgrade of the complex.

By Colin ThorsenIt has been a week of highs and lows for Te

Awamutu golfer Julie Stevanon.The popular club member added the icing

to her 65th birthday cake winning the wom-en’s bronze gross in the King Country Cham-pionships at Te Awamutu course on Friday.

Stevanon recorded a 36-hole total of 188.She put her success down to nine holes of

practise on the eve of the championships.“I’d been in terrible form, slipping from a 17

handicap in May to a 27.“I found the greens real fast on Thursday

so I put in another half hour on the putting green.”

The transformation in her game was dra-matic, right from the very fi rst shot in the fi rst of her two rounds.

Starting off No. 10, she birdied the fi rst hole with a three after getting within a metre of the cup with her approach shot.

She never looked back thereafter, shooting consistent back-to-back scores of 92, 96 (net 65, 69).

Her success and birthday celebrations have been tempered by a death in the family.

Stevanon’s club-mate Robert Wetere com-pleted a Te Awamutu double taking out the junior men’s 54-hole gross with 248.

Stewart Alexander’s Grant Easton annexed the junior men’s net with a 54-hole total of 212.

McDougall cashes in on home course advantage

By Colin ThorsenBryce McDougall is ‘over the

moon’ after jointly winning the senior men’s gross in the 79th King Country Golf Champion-ships - having twice been run-ner-up.

The fi ve handicapper went into the two-day event at Te Awamutu Golf Club hoping local knowledge would give him a win-ning edge.

He shot a magnifi cent two-over-par 72 on Saturday morn-ing, followed by 75 after lunch to lead outstanding young Waitomo prospect Stuart Baird by three shots with 18 holes to play on Sunday morning.

That advantage soon evapo-rated when McDougall made a horror start to his fi nal round, being six over after fi ve holes on his way to an 82 for a 54-hole total of 229.

Baird, who plays off a one handicap, started the champi-onships with a hiss and a roar shooting a two-under-par 68, but he was unable to recapture that form in his following rounds of 82, 79.

His 79 was suffi cient, however,

for him to share overall individu-al gross honours with McDougall on 229.

“It could have been better, I had a royal chance to win outright but I’m more than happy to set-tle for joint winner of the longest running golf tournament in New Zealand,” says McDougall.

The long trek from Taumarunui proved well worthwhile for San-dra Carey, winner of the women’s 36 holes gross championship cup with 169.

Celeste Walker (Pio Pio Aria) was the runner-up on 171, with Noeline Mulligan (Pio Pio Aria) 174 and Jan Mandeno (Te Awamutu) second and third run-ners-up.

The championships attracted a maximum fi eld of 120 men and 96 women, representing nine clubs.

The much sought after Pittams Trophy, decided over 36 holes ag-gregate net for both the ladies and men, was won by the Pio Pio Aria team of Celeste Walker, Noeline Mulligan, Leigh Cressy, Tracey Waghorn, Kieran Bradley, Tracey Mulligan, Brent Mackey, Ron Harris, Doug Sat-

tler and Kel Hetet.Te Awamutu’s No 1 men’s team

of Andrew Brown, Ray Dearing, Bryce McDougall, Wayne Tai-toko, Kelvin Trass and Grant Tynan won the teams gross (Challenge Cup) with 1462, from Waitomo No 1 (S. Baird, S. Davis, L. Edwards, D. Flintoff, S. Te Kanawa, G. Watkinson) on 1479.

The women’s gross champion-ship cup went to Pio Pio Aria A (C. Walker, N. Mulligan, L. Cressy, T. Waghorn) with 717.

Waimarino will host next year’s 80th King Country Cham-pionships.

Rodger primed for TA Open

By Colin ThorsenShem Rodger and Peter Ren-

nie warmed up for the 160km Te Awamutu Cycling Open on Satur-day with a one, two fi nish in the Hamilton to Auckland Express.

The Te Awamutu Sports club-mates rode away from the 687-strong fi eld with about 35kms to go in the 100km solo race on Sunday.

Rodger won a thrilling street, sprint fi nish in Pukekohe, just pipping Rennie. Their times were 2.48.55 and 2.48.66 respectively.

There was a gap of almost three minutes back to the next three riders, David Spring (Hamilton), Wayne McConachy (Taupo) and Jer-emy Meech (Auckland), who clocked 2.51.30.

Rodney Weinberg (Cambridge) round out the top six with a time of 2.51.31.

In form Emma Petersen (Te Awamutu) won the under-19 wom-en’s race in 2.56.00.

Rodger and Rennie must now be serious contenders in the Te Awamutu Open, particularly with no Justin Kerr in the fi eld this year. The open winner for the past two years is still overseas.

Rodger fi nished 12th in last year’s open, while Rennie was third in the B grade despite still recovering from knee surgery.

Rennie will be hoping to put the experience he learned from compet-ing in the recent Tour of New Cal-edonia to good effect in the open.

The New Zealand representative rode 12 stages (100-130km) over 10 days, plus a prologue, with gravel sections on most stages.

Two of these were hill top fi nishes up gravel climbs to quarrys that

Rennie says he would never have imagined having to ride a bike up - there were a lot of punctures.

Rennie, sponsored by Extreme Nutrition, was riding with three other Kiwis (Brad Carter, Jason Allen, Logan Huntchings) for New Caledonia team TTI/SDV/LOOK.

He was happy with the way he performed in the heat (up to 30 de-grees) - recording a ‘few’ top 10 fi n-ishes and helping team-mate Jason Allen win stages.

The fi rst three on general classi-fi cation were Wang Yinchih (Toyota Japan) of Taiwan, Karl Murray (Hot Cycles) New Zealand and Adrien Villier (SFAC) France.

Rennie fi nished up placing in the mid-30s on general classifi cation.

Last year’s fi rst woman home in the open, Rushlee Buchanan, will not be defending her title.

The stand out rider for the New Zealand Jazz Apple team in the US and Canada does not arrive back in the country until Tuesday.

On current form, Emma Petersen must rate an excellent chance to take over Buchanan’s mantle in this year’s open.

Te Awamutu Sports’ junior riders Hayden McCormick, Jack Loader and Brittany Thompson are notable starters in the under-15 section of the open.

Thompson showed her class win-ning the girls’ under-15 section of the Hamilton to Auckland 100km Express ride on Sunday, while Mc-Cormick and Loader fi nished second and fourth respectively in the un-der-15 boys’ race.

Local rider to profi t most was Diane Tonks. She won a brand new bike as one of the major spot prizes.

Kerr, Buchanan missing from this year’s fi eld

PACE SETTER: Shem Rodger, fresh from his win in the Hamilton to Auckland 100km Express ride, leads the A grade fi eld in the fi rst of 10 weekly races in the Te A’ Cycles sponsored summer road series on Tuesday evening.

Boilover in premier Gun Club event

Two B graders up-staged more fancied contenders for the pre-mier single rise cham-pionship at Pirongia Gun Club.

Andrew Young and Jackson Corbett showed up the rest of the fi eld by shooting the only two possibles.

The resulting shoot off was equally impres-sive for the B graders, lasting for 30 targets until Corbett dropped a target - making Young the 2007 champion.

A graders fared bet-ter in the single barrel championship.

Club president Grant Wallace won the event outright with 25/25, while Steve Vincent headed off Corbett in a shot off for second, last-ing nine targets, after both shot 24/25 in the qualifying event.

Wallace and Vincent were also dominant in the point score cham-pionship, both shooting the possible 75 points in qualifying.

Vincent clinched the title after a 20 target shoot off.

The balance of the championships will be contested at the club’s November shoot.

Other results (pos-sibles):

10 eye-opener: H. Shaw, J. Corbett, J. Tar-rant.

10 pair double rise (n/p): S. Vincent (A grade) 18/20; A. Young (B grade).

Better than Black Hawk Down, Munich and Syriana. As good as Bourne Ultimatum

and Casino Royale. Director Berg stages every ambush, gun battle and car chase

as if his life depended on it. A slick, explosive thril-ride... full of breakneck car chases and daredevil escapes but the film also has a heart. An awesome experience which is entertaining and engaging from start to

finish. A must see on the big screen. A great ensemble cast make the story so

interesting... Jamie Foxx, Chris Cooper, Jason Bateman and Jennifer Garner in Peter Berg

and Michael Mann’s (Collateral, Aviator, Heat and Miami Vice) timely, exciting,

teeth-chattering action thriller.

this spectacular epic is one of those rare cinematic events where every aspect of the production is done to perfection. This

Surf’s UpThis animated mock documentary follows pen-

guin Cody Maverick from his hometown of Shiver-pool, Antartica, where all the other penguins think he’s a surfi ng fool, the ‘Big Z Memorial Surf Off ’ on Pen Gu Island.

This teenage penguin is determined to win the most important competition in the world of penguin surfi ng in honour of ‘Big Z’, a deceased surfi ng leg-end whom he has idolized since childhood.

But the waves in Pen Gu are different than in Shiverpool, and the competition is steep. The cur-rent champ, egotistical Tank Evans, isn’t about to let this little penguin knock him from fi rst place without a fi ght. When Cody wipes out and encoun-ters Geek, a recluse living in the jungle, he learns some important lessons about life and surfi ng, and even teaches Geek a thing or two.

SuperbadOperating under the assumption that by procur-

ing alcohol for an upcoming party they will fi nally be able to break their longstanding losing streak with the fairer sex, socially inept high school seniors Evan and Seth set out to secure the adult beverages that could get them off the geek list before they even attend college orientation.

Evan is a bright young student whose outward sweetness belies his suffocating fear of heading off to college without his lifelong best friend Seth – a hormone-driven mischief-maker who wasn’t ac-cepted to the same school as Evan.

Meanwhile, Evan and Seth’s friend Fogell ac-quires a hastily rendered fake ID that instantly endears him to a pair of truly irresponsible cops.

PerfumeGrenouille (Ben Whishaw) is an orphan whose

sense of smell is extraordinarily acute. He im-presses master perfumer Baldini (Dustin Hoffman) enough to work for him, and this sets Grenouille off on an epic quest to fi nd the perfect scent.

When he discovers that killing young women and bottling their essence is the only way he can achieve his dream, Grenouille is soon a wanted man with multiple murders to his name.

However, when it comes to making one last kill - namely the attractive redhead Laura - the young perfumer may have met his match in her protective father, Richis (Alan Rickman).
