Sid lives with owner Emma Armstrong in South Auckland’s Hillpark. Together they have fostered more than 20 kittens, ranging from newborns to ‘teenagers’. Most were rescued by the cat rescue group 9 Lives Orphanage but they have also fostered for M.A.D. Mission Animal Desexing. Both charities are based in Manu- rewa.

Terry Makira and Tere Tuaiti have turned the Auckland Bowls cham- pion of champions singles into a Cook Island benefit. Makira, 64, from the Mangere Bowling Club, beat Chris Salesa (East Tamaki) 21-15 to win the men’s title. Tuaiti, 53, who lives in Otahuhu but plays for the Onehunga Bowl- ing, beat Carol Bennett (Onehunga & Districts) 21-16 to win the women’s title. ‘‘I love this game. I enjoy the environment, the people and the challenge of bowls. ’’ Terry Makira

It’s not known whether Makira and Tuaiti are the first Cook Island players to win singles titles, but they’re confident it’s the first time that two Cook Islanders have won the men’s and women’s title in the same year. Both are the reigning singles champions of their respective clubs and both are tickled with their suc- cess. ‘‘I love this game. I enjoy the environment, the people and the Terry Makira, right, beat long time opponent Chris Salesa (East Tamaki) 21-15 for the men’s champion of champion singles title. challenge of bowls.
