DERBY THRILLER: BAY PIP COAST BACK PAGE “Absolutely stoked” and “blown away” were the reactions of Wainui surf lifesaving stalwarts Dion Williams and Sonia Keepa after they were named winners at the online Surf Life Saving New Zealand Awards of Excellence on Saturday. Williams was named Coach of the Year and Keepa won Instructor of the Year. Williams is pictured above with some of the many athletes he has coached.

Bringing books to life

Ilminster Intermediate students got creative for Book Character Day on Friday. Above, this group co-ordinated as Thing One and Thing Two — the twins from The Cat in the Hat book by Dr Seuss — although as the photo shows, Thing 4 popped up as well. From left are Jade Schwass, Rianamaria Hema, May Williams, Daisy McInteer, Lily Lock, Savanah Williams, Stevie Ann Keenan, Savanah Baty, Grace Ure and Frankie Starr-Naske. The Cat in the Hat book is the most well known of the Dr Seuss books. After Cat releases them from a box, Thing 1 and Thing 2 cause mischief by flying kites inside the house of Conrad and Sally. Conrad eventually uses a net to stop them. Right, equally mischievious is supervillain Harley Quinn (portrayed by Ilminster student Taliyah Marrell) — the accomplice and romantic interest of Batman’s enemy The Joker. Harley is also a member of the infamous Suicide Squad. Left, Jack Holden, dressed as Harry Potter, delivered a few spells while Carter Easterbook appeared as the bear from popular children’s book We’re Going on a Bear Hunt.
