Waikeria 6 22 24.1 Interestingly Marilyn Waring, who has a pen- chant for going to the heart of issues, reportedly does not believe the Civil Union Bill is ‘the an- swer’. There seems to be a ‘mild groundswell’ of sup- port for National MP Richard Worth’s proposed ‘Civil Relationships Bill’ as an amendment to the Civil Union Bill. Supporters say it provides legal certainty for relationships (the main aim of the Civil Union Bill) but does not create a parallel form of mar- riage. They say certainty regarding next-of-kin is important for everybody, not just those in sexual relationships. The Civil Relationships Bill would provide a simple registration system as evidence of next- of-kin and is claimed to therefore more inclusive The best than the Civil Union Bill. Mr Worth says a common example is two eld- erly sisters who live together and are fi nancially deals in town dependent on each other, but are currently un- able to register their relationship. The MP says he has listened to hundreds of submissions and both sides of the argument and (and country). he is confi dent his alternative would address con- cerns levelled at the Civil Union Bill. “Politicians should be listening to the concerns We haven’t just gone to town on our latest deals.

NEW ZEALAND lead Lorne De Pape in action at the Pacific Curling Championships. Photo supplied By Colin Thorsen Te Awamutu curling international Lorne De Pape is on course to fulfi l his dream of compet- ing at the 2006 Winter Olympic Games in Torino, Italy. De Pape led the New Zealand men’s curling team to a gold medal at the just completed Pacifi c Curling Championships in Chuncheon, Korea. New Zealand beat Australia 9-8 in the fi nal to retain their Pacifi c title. It is the fi rst time there has been a repeat champion at the event for eight years. De Pape says he was stoked with his team’s back-to-back gold medal winning achievement. “It’s a remarkable feat, considering the quality of the opposition. “The competitive nature of the men’s event is shown by the fact that four different countries (Australia, New Zealand, Japan and Korea) have won the event over the last eight years.” The top two teams in the Pacifi c, New Zealand and Australia, have qualifi ed for the 2005 World Curling Championships. The Worlds will be held in Victoria, Canada from April 2-10. It will be the fi nal qualifying event for the 2006 Winter Olympic Games in Italy. “We’re thrilled to be going back to the worlds - that was our objective for the week,” says De Pape. “We now want to perform well at the Worlds and qualify for the Olympics.” Australia started the fi nal strongly, capitilis- ing on a rare miss by Kiwi skip Sean Becker (Patearoa) to grab an early 3-1 lead. The Kiwis roared back to snap a three of their own in the fourth end. The game was locked up at 6-all after seven ends, with New Zealand holding the hammer. Becker atoned for his earlier miss with a clutch double-takeout in the eighth to give New Zealand another three to lead 9-6. The Kiwis then ran the Aussies out of rocks in the 10th to record their one point victory. In the semi-fi nals, New Zealand beat Japan, while Australia accounted for China. Both matches went the full distance (three games). The full New Zealand team was Sean Becker (skip) Patearoa, Hans Frauenlob (third) North Shore City, Dan Mustapic (second) Dunedin, Lorne De Pape (lead) Te Awamutu, Warren Do- bson (alternate) Naseby, Peter Becker (coach) Patearoa. Nothing between top twilight golf teams One point separates the ‘top three’ after the third round of the twilight golf teams event at Pirongia. Beagle Boys and Blackbirds jointly lead the Fairview Motors sponsored competition with 187 points, followed by Snakes on 186. A fi eld of 103 contested the weekly scrambles. The individual scoring was headed by Tony Webber and Steve Watkins, both with 24 points on the front nine.

A shorter course due to the lake size meant crews were sprinting to the 1000m fi nish line before ‘hitting the brakes’ so they didn’t end up in Recreational Vehicle reeds or on the bank. Entries for the College Games were restricted to under 17 and under 19 years, so the remainder of the crews competed in club events. 4x4 Retread Tyres Graham Oberlin-Brown had a great day pick- ing up a full set of medals in the College Games - gold in the under 17 single, silver in the under 19 single and bronze in the under 17 double sculls combining with Andrew Ahlers. The Under 19 double combination of Philippa Gray and Stacey Asplin also picked up bronze in their event and were one of the crews (in just two events) lucky enough to receive their medals from Sir Murray Halberg. Novice Te Awamutu College crews were impres- sive in several club races, picking up wins in the men’s novice eight, women’s novice eight, women’s novice coxed four and men’s novice coxed four.
