IT was a huge night for the Powdrell family from Turiroa Angus near Wairoa last night when one of their rising two- year-old bulls sold for a New Zealand high price of $104,000. The top-priced bull will be coming to Gisborne. The stud put up 50 young bulls for sale in front of the more than 200 people packed into their on-farm rostrum, and sold the lot. The sale opened in scintillating fashion when Lot 1 sold for $86,000, bought by Oregon Angus in the Wairarapa. But minutes later the auction reached even greater heights when Lot 8, advanced to the second position on the schedule, sold for $104,000. The “super-stylish, strong-sided individual with an embarrassment of riches” — as described by the auctioneer — was bought jointly by Kaharau Angus and Orere Angus of Gisborne. “He was just the type, the shape, the structure that we wanted, with the grunt thrown in,” said Orere studmaster Ben Johnson. “He is the perfect bull for us, and he had nice, even figures.” Ben said the joint purchase was a huge thing for their young stud. “For my wife Kylie and me it’s the start of something special.” The Johnsons, who earlier this week won the Wonder Cup again for the champion bull in the Combined Sale at Matawhero, TOP PRICE: Everything about this rising have only been stud breeding Angus cattle two-year-old bull at yesterday’s Turiroa in the district for three years.

Actors sought for The Crucible

uditions for Unity Theatre’s production of Arthur Miller’s Apowerful play, The Crucible, will be held at the theatre in Ormond Road on July 18 and 19. Written in 1953, The Crucible is a dramatised and partially fictionalised story of the Salem witch trials that took place in the Massachusetts Bay Colony in the late 17th century. Miller wrote the play as an allegory for McCarthyism, when Cold War paranoia about supposed Communist sympathisers among the public was rife in the US government. Senator McCarthy’s conspiracy trials in America compelled Miller to write his drama, taking the notorious witchcraft trials that rocked Salem, Massachusetts in the late 1600s as his parallel theme. The cast in the Norman Maclean- directed production will be divided between male and female players. The cast will include a group of five teenage girls who have the demanding roles of malicious hysterics and victims of the witch A FIRE IS BURNING: Taken from the film version of The mania that swept their community in Crucible, this picture depicts the hysteria behind the Salem witch 1693. trials in the late 1600s, and now Unity Theatre seeks actors for To register interest, call 867 3423 or a costume production of Arthur Miller’s widely acclaimed play. 021 0220 5074.
