LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
HFA opinions just that — opinionsThe opinions expressed
about hydrofluorosilicic acid(HFA) in a Letter to the Editoron Tuesday are completelyfalse and are not supported byany valid evidence.
The substance most com-monly used to fluoridate watersystems is HFA, which isextracted from naturallyoccurring phosphorite rock.
It is a co-product of theprocess which extracts theother co-product, phosphoricacid.
The phosphoric acid co-product is utilised in the softdrinks we consume, and infertilisers which becomeincorporated into the foods weeat.
The HFA co-product is care-fully diluted to a 23 per centsolution and utilised to raisethe level of already existingfluoride ions in water by a fewparts per million, up to theoptimal level of 0.7 parts permillion, in those water sys-tems which are not already at
that level naturally.Fluorosilicic acid breaks
down and one of the break-down products is silicic acid,which is an intact acid mol-ecule at the typical pH ofdrinking water.
Who has measured silicicacid at the tap?
The CDC National Fluori-dation Engineer, Kip Duchon,like his predecessors, statethat none of thehydrofluorosilicic acid (HFSA)remains intact at the tap.
HFSA dissociates into fluor-ide ion, silica, and hydrogenion. He also states that you cannot measure something thatdoesn’t exist at the tap.
The writer has made a pointof saying that ‘we are advisedto use fluoride at 1450 PPM inour toothpaste.’ By whom?
The council and the peopleare quite happy for the com-munity to use fluoridatedwater at 0.7 PPM, look at thevote.
CHRIS PRICE
Well donefor saying no
At the recent submissions onthe Annual Plan the Avantidromerequested $2 million from Councilfor some addition to the building.
Councillors told them therewas no money available due tohigh costs to repair/renew coreinfrastructure and Council haveto be very careful where money isspent.
Sincere thanks from this rate-payer.
Personally I am sick of thesegroups coming to Council formassive amounts of ratepayers’money.
I seriously think that if anyfuture Council hands out moneyto these groups I would challengeit in court.
I am sure I would not be on myown for long.
Keep up the good work MrMayor and elected Councillors.
KEN GEORGE
HFA prepared speciallyfor water supplies
Your newspaperpublished a lettere n t i t l e d ‘ f l u o r i -dation is false secur-ity’ which I believeis misleading.
Hydrofluorosilic-ic acid (HFA) is nomore toxic thanother products thatare used in watertreatment, such assodium hydroxideand chlorine.
HFA is preparedto stringent qualityrequirements speci-fically for fluori-d a t i o n o f w a t e rsupplies.
It is essentially awater-based acidicsolution of fluoride
and sand (silica).No HFA is left
once added intowater, only a safeand beneficial tracee l e m e n t a t c o n -trolled levels.
The relative con-centration of fluor-ide in toothpaste Vfluoridated wateralluded to by yourcorrespondent is ared herring.
Toothpaste com-panies only startedadding fluoride totoothpaste in the1960s, after the dis-covery in the 1940sand 1950s that fluor-i d e i n d r i n k i n gwater reduces tooth
decay.E v e r y f o r m a l
scientific revieww o r l d w i d e h a saffirmed the effec-tiveness and safetyof community waterfluoridation withmost, if not all,major health organ-isations in New Zea-land being for it.
Population-levelp u b l i c h e a l t hinterventions suchas community waterf l u o r i d a t i o n a r ef o u n d a t i o n a l f o rm a i n t a i n i n g ahealthy population.
I n d i v i d u a ltargeting of care isalso an important
secondary level ofpublic health, but itsimplementation isonly as good as thetargeting.
Some childrenand adults may ‘slip-through-the-cracks’;fluoridation doesn’thave that problemsince it is universal.
Differences (ori n e q u a l i t i e s )between the dentalh e a l t h o f t h o s edisadvantaged andthose well-off peopletend to be lower inareas with fluori-dation than in thosew i t h o u t f l u o r i -dation.

TWO WEEK SEASON:Saturday, May 17-Saturday, May 31at the Woolshed Theatre
ONE of the keenest observersof the clean up of MangapikoStream on Friday was two-year-old Corey Powell, alongwith grandmother BarbaraFleck. Mrs Fleck and herhusband Brian’s RacecourseRoad property is adjacent tothe stream. Mrs Fleck says hergrandson is ‘machinery mad’and loved watching the workin progress. He is picturedwith Bart Van Geneijgen ofWaikato Tree Services duringa smoko break.

TREE Chipping Services’ Tim Fitzgerald clearing willows fromMangapiko Stream.
Mangapiko Stream run-ning through Te Awamutuwas abuzz with activity lastweek as contractorsremoved a number of treesthat had been creating prob-lems.
The stream clearing is astaged project jointly fundedby Waipa District Counciland Waikato Regional Coun-cil and involves clearingboth the Mangapiko andMangaohoi Streams of nuis-ance vegetation which cantend to restrict stream flowand cause water levels torise up-stream of theobstructed sections duringperiods of high rainfall.
The two main problemspecies are the cracked wil-low and a particular speciesof walnut tree.
The cracked willows areparticularly bad as they willkeep growing when they fallover and will also regener-ate from the smallest ofpieces.
When the trees fall acrossa stream the re-growth sooncreates a natural dam as alldebris floating down thestream also becomestrapped.
The trees are being cut offat water level or groundlevel as appropriate so thestream bed is not disturbedand the bank stability notcompromised.
This means that the hab-itat for fish life is alsomaintained with no disturb-ance.
SADD to targetmore than justdrink driving
After three decades in New Zealandschools, Students Against DrivingDrunk is stepping up its efforts toimprove young driver safety under thenew banner of Students Against Dan-gerous Driving.
‘‘SADD is proud to have been part ofa radical culture change on drinkdriving through the eighties andnineties. Today, our rate of alcoholrelated fatal crashes per year is 70%lower than when we started in 1985,’’says chief executive Anna Braidwood.
‘‘But teens still have a road deathrate that is nearly double the rest of thepopulation and to change that we needto target other risks as well as impaireddriving.’’
The change was a key topic ofSADD’s annual conference season theseschool holidays, with 260 studentsattending from around the country, andstudents will now be promoting sixprinciples for safety on the roads:• Sober drivers• Safe speeds• No distractions• Avoiding risk• Driving to the conditions• Building experience
‘‘SADD is running in over 72% of allsecondary schools and our membershipis growing with every term, so we knowwe have the foundations in place tomake a significant impact. We have lost700 teens in the past decade and it is atragedy to know that the vast majorityof those deaths were preventable. Webelieve a radical change is required andour students are determined to be at theheart of making it happen,’’ MsBraidwood.
The changes have been supported byprincipal funder the New ZealandTransport Agency and long time SADDsponsor NZ Automobile Association.

Tourism touted astop revenue source
Waikato RegionalCouncil will take acloser look at how itmight support tourism,the region’s secondhighest source ofrevenue.
At last Thursday’sstrategy and policycommittee meeting, theregional council agreedto consider through thelong term planning pro-cess how it might sup-port tourism.
It followed a pre-sentation by HamiltonWaikato Tourism chiefexecutive Kiri Goulter,who also providedinformation in regardsto the Coromandel andGreat Lake Taupoareas.
‘‘The number onereason people come tothe greater Waikato is
for our landscapes andour environment, andwater quality is a keypart of that , ’ ’ MsGoulter told the com-mittee.
She said tourism isthe region’s secondhighest earner behinddairy, bringing in $1.8billion — $340 millionfrom internationalvisi tors and $1.46billion from domestictravellers.
Ms Goulter said cyc-ling was one of theregion’s increasinglypopular drawcards as aresult of its cyclewaysa n d n e w l y - o p e n e dvelodrome.
She described tour-ism as the ‘‘shop win-dow’ ’ to economicdevelopment.
Tourism is recog-
nised in the regionalc o u n c i l ’ s W a i k a t oeconomic developmentstrategy, released in2012. Regional develop-ment is one of thecouncil’s five strategicpriorities.
‘ ‘ O n e o f t h echallenges of tourismfor local government isthat it does require acollective investment.It is pleasant to seesome investments inrecent years are pay-ing off,’’ said commit-t e e c h a i r , B o bSimcock.
The review of theregional council’s longterm plan is alreadyunderway, with a draftstatement of proposaldue to be released inMarch/April next yearfor public comment.

An open book withnew library options
TC150514GJ01
TIME for replacement not renewal for Te Awamutu Library and these well thumbed butdated books (*not library books).
From Page 1.
There were 14 in sup-port of option 2 — a $4.4Million new library com-plex of 1400m2 and five insupport of the cheaperoption 1 — a 785m2 facilityat $2.6 Million, with fivefavouring formation of acommercial partnership tobuild the new library (theother submitters wereopposed to one or otheroption or did not knowwhich one they favoured).
Significant submissionsof support for option 2 (anew $4.4 Million complexas part of a community hubon Selwyn Park) werereceived from Te AwamutuChamber of Commerce andTe Awamutu CommunityBoard.
Staff recommendedCouncil consider proceed-ing with option 2 but con-tinue discussions withpotential option 3 partners.
Any option 3 arrange-ment would be subject to apublic expressions of inter-est process.
Mayor Jim Mylchreesttold the Courier that thenext stage would involveCouncil putting planstogether to show what a$4.4 Million facility couldlook like.
He said the library wasone of the most used facili-ties that Council providesand despite predictionsfrom some quarters thatlibrary use would decreasein the electronic age, thatwas certainly not
happening.‘‘We want to build a
library that serves thewidest cross section of ourpeople as possible, withspace that is able to bealtered to adjust to chang-ing needs.’’
Other suggestions MrHudson put forwardincluded Council publish-ing a business case foreach significant project,support for seal extensionif mainly developer fundedand widespread use ofwater meters.
Mr Hudson said thebusiness case provisionwould improve AnnualPlan information andmake for better commun-ity understanding andsubmissions.
‘‘For example the $3.4Million community facili-ties capital expenditure isunexplained. There couldbe a link on the digitalversion of the plan avail-able on line which wouldopen up details of eachbusiness case.’’
Mr Hudson said thatwater meters provided thefairest way of charging forwater and had the effect ofdelaying the need for cap-acity increases.
He said with uniformcharges, lower users werepaying the same as muchhigher users and there wasno incentive to conservewater or detect leaks.
Submissions wereheard at the strategic plan-ning and policy committeemeeting, with a full turn-
out of councillors inattendance.
One submission on thisyear’s Draft Annual Planlikely to spark plenty offuture discussion was fromthe Home of Cycling CEO,Geoff Balme.
He said the cycling trustwas wanting to build a‘community hub’ (includ-ing a Home of ChampionsMuseum and extra seat-ing) on the southern wallof the Avantidrome andwith an estimated cost ofaround $4 Million would belooking for $2 Million fromWaipa District Council.
Mr Mylchreest told theCourier that when anyonemakes a submissionthrough the Annual Planprocess, Council has totreat it seriously.
‘‘However, it is a bit likekids putting up a Christmaslist — you can’t do every-thing.’’
Mr Mylchreest said therewas not any discernablesupport for theAvantidrome proposal inCouncil in terms of furtherratepayer commitment atthis stage.
‘‘We are looking at a newmuseum for Te Awamutu inthe future and so far for thatmajor project, the figureCouncil might contribute issuggested at $1.5 Million.’’
A revised Draft AnnualPlan document reflectingany changes recommendedwill be on the agenda for theJune 3, meeting of the strate-gic planning and policy com-mittee.

At the unveiling cere-m o n y , T o m R o a f r o mPurekireki Marae, and thelead carver, James Webster,outlined the story depicted
by the pou of the fairy chiefWhanawhana and his loveaffair with a beautiful Maoriwoman, Tawhaitu, who livedclose to Mt Pirongia.
Evidence of this relation-ship is said to be still seentoday in certain Maoridescendants in the area whohave red hair, light greeneyes and are left handed,w h i l e t h e e l u s i v epatupaiarehe are still said tobe present on Mt Pirongia.
R e p r e s e n t a t i v e s f r o mHiona and Purekireki Marae
were invited to unveil thepou as they have a personalconnection with this story.
The three pou representTawhaitu and her husbandRuarangi, Whanawhana andother patupaiarehe, and thet o h u n g a w h o a d v i s e dRuarangi and Tawhaitu onhow to break the enchant-ment.
The ceremony ended withthe singing of Whanawhana’slament when he was separ-a t e d f r o m h i s b e l o v e dTawhaitu.

Colonoscopy boostWaikato patients are set to benefit from
a $3.5 Million national boost in funding forcolonoscopies, Health Minister Tony Ryallsays.
‘‘This boost will help Waikato DHBdeliver up to 244 extra colonoscopies forpatients most in need,’’ he says.
A colonoscopy can identify whether aperson has cancer or pre-cancerousgrowths called polyps. Bowel cancers foundand treated early can often be cured.
‘‘Some waiting times for a colonoscopyare still not ideal as DHBs have tradition-ally been stretched to keep up with demandfrom a population that is both growing andageing.’’
The funding boost is the latest in a rangeof recent government initiatives aimed atimproving colonoscopy delivery.

TC150514SP08
CHANGE OF COMMAND: Outgoing Navy Operational Dive TeamCommander Trevor Leslie (left) with his successor, GregCamburn.
F o r m e r T eAwamutu residentT r e v o r L e s l i erelinquished hisrole as Command-ing Officer of theN a v y ’ s O p e r -ational Dive Teamthis month.
L i e u t e n a n tC o m m a n d e rLeslie has been incommand of thedive team for thepast four years —a long stretch forsomeone to holdt h i s i m p o r t a n tposition.
He is one ofthose rare typeswho relish thep r e s s u r e a n dc h a l l e n g e sencountered in arole like this.
LTCDR Lesliegrew up in TeA w a m u t u a n dattended collegeh e r e b e f o r ejoining the Navyin 1987.
Two years laterhe started doingdiving work andin 1990 became amember of theOperational DiveTeam.
He has beeninvolved with aw i d e r a n g e o foperations — fromhelping to clearW W I I r e m n a n texplosives fromS o u t h P a c i f i cIslands, includingP a p u a N e wGuinea and TheSolomons, to bodyr e c o v e r y o p e r -ations, includingr e t r i e v i n g t h eb o d i e s o f 2degrees’ CEO EricHertz and his wifeKatherine from aplane crash nearGannet Island offt h e R a g l a n /Kawhia coast lastyear.
‘‘To be able tolead a team in ascomplex an oper-ation as that andrecover the air-craft and returnthe occupants ofthe plane to theirloved ones is a sig-nificant success,albeit tinged with
sadness at the loss of Mr andMrs Hertz,’’ he told the Cour-ier.
Another body recoveryoperation involved the EasyRider sinking in 2012, whichwith eight lives lost was thebiggest maritime disastersince the sinking of theWahine in 1968.
He says the dive teamworks in difficult situations,but it is always a privilege tobe involved in operationsthat seek to help fellow NewZealanders, or our SouthPacific neighbours.
The Change of Commandceremony at DevonportNaval Base saw LTCDRLeslie hand over command ofthe team of specialist diveoperators to Lieutenant Com-m a n d e r G r e g C a m b u r n(Whakatane).
LTCDR Camburn hasextensive experience withthe Royal New Zealand Navy— he recently re-joined inAugust 2013 after a break ofover three years.
The 24-person OperationalDive Team (ODT) is one ofthree teams that make up theNavy’s Littoral Warfare Sup-port Force.
Together they provide anextensive maritime under-water search and recoverycapability that is frequentlydeployed in support of othergovernment agencies.
The ODT are capable ofclearance diving, inshoremaritime support, under-water engineering, explosiveordinance disposal anddiving support.
LTCDR Leslie says it hasbeen his privilege to workwith groups of extraordinarypeople doing extraordinarythings.
‘‘It has also been great forme and my family (wife Wikiand six children, withrecently born pigeon pairt w i n s b e i n g t h e l a t e s taddition).’’
The Navy has taken himand his family to the MiddleEast, Asia and America forvarious stints.
His parents live in TeKuiti now and he calls in toTe Awamutu to catch up withformer schoolmates.
He is moving on to Capa-bility Branch and will con-tinue to work on divingrelated capability issues(still based in Auckland).

PARENT HELPER: Sam Rae, and her alter ego DollyD’Ville are part of the Parent to Parent fundraiserproject. The image is the cover for the forthcomingbook.
The produce manager atPak’nSave, the manageress atResene Paints and a photogra-pher for Shifting Light Photo-graphy may seem an unlikelycombination, but these threepeople have come together tocreate something quite wonder-ful.
Iain Cambridge firstapproached Sam Rae about amonth ago in regards to model-ling for a collection of shortstories he had written.
‘‘She was very responsive tothe idea and on reading the draftsshe came up with some wonder-ful ideas,’’ says Mr Bainbridge.
Her alter ego is well known asDolly D’Ville, the stage name sheuses in her successful Burlesqueshow and master classes she runsfor women in the art of tease inand around the Te Awamutuarea.
Although the main characterof the story was not based onMiss Rae, her attitude and posi-tive body image was definitelythe inspiration.
She immediately draftedKeith Maynard into the projectas she had worked with him onmany of her photo shoots.
‘‘I found Keith to be as excitedand as on board with the projectas both Sam and I were and it wasvery clear from the first meetingthat he had some amazing ideas,’’says Mr Bainbridge.
The main aim of this ventureis to raise money and publicawareness for a charity known asParent to Parent, which is anationwide non profit organisa-
tion formed in 1983 by a group ofparents and professionals whobelieved in the value of parentssupporting parents when facedwith the challenge of parenting achild with a disability or healthimpairment.
Since starting this project MrBainbridge, Miss Rae and MrMaynard have enlisted the helpof other actors, make-up artistsand people who have volunteeredtime, locations and in oneinstance a light aircraft, all forfree and have helped turn theproject into something quiteinspiring.
‘‘These people are wonderfuland ask nothing in return fortheir help,’’ says Mr Bainbridge.
‘‘I feel humbled that all I canoffer them is a mention in theacknowledgments when the bookis printed.
‘‘I still need more help andwould like the support of localbusinesses in TeAwamutu mak-ing a small donation when thebook is ready to publish.’’
Mr Bainbridge would ideallylike and handful of business tomake a small donation in orderto buy a significant amount ofbooks and enable the group toorganise a book signing.
He says 100 per cent of all theprofits we make will go to Parentto Parent and anyone donating tothe project in any way will benamed in the book’sacknowledgments page.

Damagingfungus here
Waikato peopleare being asked tokeep an eye out fora rust-like fungus(pictured) whichcould kill off iconicnative trees in NewZealand.
Fears of Myrtlerust being blownover to New Zea-land from Australiahave been height-ened by news thatAustralianbutterflies havebeen sighted recently in the Bay of Plenty. It’sthought they may have been blown over byCyclone Ita.
The Ministry for Primary Industries haswarned this could indicate the prospect of moresuch sightings of potentially airborne Austra-lian organisms, including fungal spores such asMyrtle rust. This fungus can damagepohutukawa, manuka and rata, as well as somecommercially grown exotic species.
Myrtle rust has been in Australia since 2010and is now established in New South Wales,Queensland and Victoria. New Zealand hasstrict measures controlling material that maycarry Myrtle rust into the country.
The identifying sign of the disease is powderybright yellow or orange-yellow bumps onactively growing plants. Leaves may becomebuckled or twisted and die off. Severe infectionscan kill the host plant.
‘‘This disease is difficult to eradicate onceestablished so the earlier we hear about it thebetter,’’ said Waikato Regional Councilbiosecurity group manager John Simmons.
‘‘We ask the public to keep an eye out for anysigns of this disease and to report it to theMinistry for Primary Industries as soon aspossible.’’

Bright future for Princess

TRAINER Darrell Hollinshead with last start winner PrickleyPrincess.
By PHILLIP QUAY MEDIA/PA
Te Awamutu trainer Darrell Hollinsheadwill have very good reasons to closely watchthe outcome of the Cox Plate in Melbournethis spring.
Hollinshead’s recent stable winner,Prickley Princess, is a half-sister to CoxPlate contender Ecuador.
‘‘She is probably more valuable in thebroodmare paddock than she is on theracetrack,’’ says Hollinshead.
‘‘Especially since Ecuador looms as anice chance for the Cox Plate.’’
Prickley Princess scored the fourth winof her racing career at the Taranaki racemeeting last Saturday.
She has now been placed in eight of her32 starts.
‘‘I wasn’t confident of her winning atNew Plymouth but was hopeful and didexpect her to go a nice race,’’ saysHollinshead.
The Thorn Park mare is now headed toHawera next week for her next race-dayouting.
‘‘She obviously doesn’t mind the heavyracing tracks so we will keep her going,’’ hesays.
Prickley Princess is from a family whichhas produced many top-class racehorses forthe Hollinsheads.
Her dam is the unraced Danske mare,Bak Da Princess, and it is the same family asWaikato Cup winner Bak Da Chief and theeight-race winner, Havitbak.

Crowd favourites, propBen Tameifuna and TimNanai-Williams both dotteddown, with the burly propcrossing the chalk twice.
Nanai-Williams was alsoheavily involved with fullbackTom Marshall’s try, running 60metres before passing toMarshall to finish off.

Dogged Marist pipped by Putaruru in division 1Te Awamutu Marist lost a
keenly contested encounter 28-23to Putaruru in Waikato divisionone rugby.
The visitors were first toscore when their first-five cutback on the angle, wrong footingthe defence to dot down underthe post for a 7-0 lead at CastletonPark on Saturday.

Otorohanga extended by courageous Sports
TC150514CT03
ONE of many match highlights was this 40 metre run bybarnstorming Te Awamutu Sports’ prop Wade McLean-TeHuia against Otorohanga at Albert Park on Saturday.
BY JUSTIN MIEZENBEEK
Te Awamutu Sports were gallantin defeat going down 34-17 to secondplaced Otorohanga in Waikatopremier rugby.
Otorohanga showed why theyare one of the teams to beat as theyabsorbed the pressure from thehosts, then took charge once thegame opened up at Albert Park onSaturday.
It was a willing encounter whichhas become commonplace in thislocal derby.
The defence was bruising as TeAwamutu Sports flanker FetuSasalu and his fellow tight forwardsValentino Mapapalangi and JPLiebenberg took the opposition for-ward pack on.
Otorohanga gave as much asthey got, which led to an enthrallingopening stanza, which had the largecrowd grimacing at every collision.
It took 33 minutes for the firstpoints to be scored when Otoro-hanga winger Solo Korovatacrossed in the right hand cornerafter slick passing caught thedefence short.
Sports hit back minutes later,after being hard on attack and the
Otorohanga defence holding strongin close, the backs were unleashedand a beautiful inside pass frompivot Waylon Tangohau hit wingerHayden Ivil who cut through theline to score beside the posts.
Tangohau converted for a 7-5scoreline.
The visitors struck once morebefore the break. A sweeping backmove to the right saw fullback TeAmo Wilbore cross in the corner,again unconverted to take a 10-7lead into the break.
Otorohanga went straight backon the attack after halftime, pickingup a quick try under the posts aftersome soft defence. The conversionmade it 17-7 and anotherunconverted try soon made thescore 22-7.
Sports hit back, with Ivil scoringhis second try on the back of a widepass from Tangohau for a 22-12scoreline.
Otorohanga sniffed a comebackfrom the hosts and lifted anothergear.
As the players tired, the gameopened up and the visitors got theiroffload game going.
They took control of the lastquarter with tries to Rory Grice and
Anthony Wise, both involving theball travelling through numeroussets of hands before Sports ran outof defenders.
Down 34-12, Sports grabbed anopportunistic try from the restart,with replacement Ihaka Mita grab-bing the ball from the kickoff andrunning in a fantastic solo try.
It set up a thrilling last fiveminutes as Sports gallantly tried tosecure a bonus point try butultimately fell short asOtorohanga’s defence held strong.
Despite the final score, it was aneffort Sports could be proud of.
All the forwards gave their best,while player of the day, wingerEsera Esera was a constant threatbreaking tackles and making goodmetres.
Round two kicks off next weekwhen Sports head to Hamilton totake on University.
Te Awamutu Sports Senior Balso went down to their Otorohangacounterparts in another toughencounter.
Sports showed a lot of guts andcourage but went down to the top-of-the-table visitors 42-19.
Roroa Lord (2) and KieranMcHugh scored for the hosts.

Jack Connor and substituteWasu Krishna scored in quicksuccession midway through thesecond half to end the contest.
Coach Ireland reports that histeam struggled to find anyrhythm in the first half and wereit not for player of the day KevinBuckle in goal making some finesaves, things could have lookedworse than the 0-0 halftime scoreline.

Successful again this weekwere COGS, Royalans, HenryMorgan Builders RSN andWeka in four highly entertain-ing games.
Royalans overcame a stub-born TAC Premier 47-33. Thestudents trailed from the outsetin a high paced end-to-endgame. It was a game dominatedby defence with turnovers atboth ends, but Royalans madethe most of them, leading 12-5and 25-14 by halftime.
TAC could not overcome theslow start and found themselvesbehind after three quarters37-22 but managed to draw thefinal quarter 10-10.
Marist Trainstation pro-duced a much improved per-formance against COGS thisweek.
The newcomers only trailedlast year’s beaten finalists 11-7after the first quarter and 25-15at halftime.
The third quarter oftenturns out to be the most import-
ant in netball . . . and that’swhen COGS made their move,winning it 16-9, thendominating the final stanza 11-4to run out winners 52-28.
Defending champions RSNagain showed their class deal-ing to TAS Ecolab 58-29.

TAS put on a better showingin the second half, extendingCOGS to 13-10 in the thirdquarter and 14-9 in the finalstanza. They would again rue aslow start that left themselvestoo much to do.
The final game of the nightfeatured two new entries intothis year’s league, with Wekaleading throughout to beat TACSenior A 46-33.

NOAH MSAT 5:00, SUN 3:00
“From the beginning till the end I was hooked. I found the pacing just fine. It’s enjoyable, has plenty of action,
but it also has humour, romance and drama.” Brandon says it’s very good
and has depth and makes youget into it.
DIVERGENT M SAT 3:30, SUN 1:30
The movie is funny and for everyone – guys and dolls would both enjoy it. It is
a comedy mixed with revenge. It is nice to see a film with three strong leading ladies all different. I think they all did a great job playing their roles.
OTHER WOMAN M THU & FRI 7:50, SAT 7:55, SUN 6:00,

“An extremely fine period drama the ladies should truly admire.” Allan.
At last, Charles Dickens’ secret is revealed.
“Fascinating… a revelation”. Sam Edwards. Patrons really like it.

SUN 3:50 & 6:10, MON 6:20,TUE & WED 8:00
The pleasures of Jane Austen, Downton Abbey and the horrors of the
British slave trade make a surprisingly elegant fit in this handsome period piece from the UK. In the tradition of quality, picturesque widescreen lensing, lavish production design
and beautifully detailed costumes, it has the general air of good taste.
Based on the inspiring true story. Patrons regard it highly.

this is a simple story of romance and heartache. The young cast are

Powerful and well done, a satisfying, inspirational experience. The life story of Jesus is told through his teachings, crucifixion and ultimate resurrection.
“The best I have seen.Effective and affecting.
Will stay in your mind.” Allan.
“The acting was superb especially the portrayal of Jesus. I gave this movie a high score for the acting alone. The actor playing Jesus was effective in
showing a Jesus that is very “human”, a Jesus that is tender and kind. I could almost feel the love in his touch, feel
the kindness in his eyes and can’t help but be moved by his message of love
and forgiveness.” IMDb.THU & FRI 7:25, SAT 5:35 & 7:35,
