TC171111DT02 GILBERT family at last week’s ‘shear-a-thon’ — Shaye, Cullen, Rylin and Bill.

From page 1. The most recent was a ‘shear-a-thon’ last week at Oparau. In all 40 people from Hauturu, Oparau and Te Anga volunteered to help out on the day, shearing 2500 sheep from Cullen’s grandfather Rich Gilbert’s farm. 8432185AA The response was so overwhelming the volunteers were split over two sheds, 28 on the Gilbert farm and a dozen down the road on Brian Dawson’s farm. A number provided baking, while the Gilbert family cooked meals for every- one. The normal contracting fee for the shearing was donated into Cullen’s trust account. Cullen’s parents Bill and Shaye were overwhelmed by the show of support from the community and extremely grateful to everyone who volunteered their services. The family has also staged a trail ride at their farm in Taupo. A raffle has been organised locally by Briar Gilbert (see details on facebook page: Let’s get Cullen on his feet). Belinda Parker has also organised a raffle in the Huntly area. Several Trade Me auctions are underway, see the website (www.cullenwillfly.comli.com) for fur- ther details.

Couple celebrate www.pggwre.co.nz 60th anniversary

Ron and Jean Powell cele- brated their 60th wedding anni- versary with family and friends at the Old Creamery Cafe on Kaipaki Road. Mrs Powell, from a Taranaki farming background, and Mr Powell, a boy bugler in the Royal Marines, married in Stratford, New Zealand on November 3, 1951. They met by chance when the British naval vessel HMS Bellona called in at New Plymouth loaded with sailors and a contingent of Royal Marines, including a Royal Marine band of which Mr Powell was a member. Born near the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire, he had joined the Marines as a 15-year-old, learning to play the bugle and drums, hence gaining the nick- name of ‘sticks’.

Mr Powell worked for the borough council, tending to the parks and reserves there until he and Mrs Powell bought the Rural Mail Delivery business from her father. They became well known as the rural delivery team for all the tiger country east of Stratford. They remained with that job for some years until Mrs Powell had a very serious accident on one of the winding roads, prompting Mr Powell to get back in uniform again. He joined the Prison Service in 1968, now known as the Depart- ment of Corrections, and was posted to Waikeria. He applied himself to the job with diligence. Not only did he have the shiniest boots on the staff — due to his Marine training — he also studied hard to become a second officer. The Powell family moved to the South Island when Mr Powell transferred to Rolleston Prison, TC1711117a south of Christchurch. FLASHBACK: Ron and Jean Powell on their wedding day in 1951.

TC171111CT02 REASSURING words of wisdom for Silver Fern Joline Henry from partner Leif Johansson TC171111CT03 before the third and final celebrity stockcar race at McDonald’s Kihikihi Speedway on REGULAR Silver Ferns netball captain Casey Williams gives the thumbs up while in Saturday. the pits anxiously awaiting the start of the three heat celebrity stockcar event. Celebrities have a ball at big bash

BY COLIN THORSEN

Rob Hamill of Trans Atlantic rowing fame took to stockcar racing like a ‘duck to water’ at McDonald’s Kihikihi Speedway on Saturday. The celebrity stockcar race lived up to all the pre-meeting hype, with all the celebrities coming through the event unscathed — no doubt pleasing new Silver Ferns’ coach Waimarama Taumaunu, whose star players Casey Williams, Joline Henry and Leana De Bruin were in the thick of the action, crashing and bashing their way around the speed SHOWHOME - 3 Karewa Place, Hamilton bowl. For the record, Tony Fabish’s team of Rob OPEN - 9am-5pm Monday to Friday, 12.30-3.30pm Saturday & Sunday Hamill and Joel Skulander and Mike Gumbo from The Rock took the honours from Mark Edwards’ Or any time by appointment team of Silver Ferns. The celebrities had two heats to come to grips with their cars and settle their nerves before the third race. Their lap times became faster and faster the more time they had in the seat. Hamill decided it was his mission to slow Edwards, his team’s biggest threat. The pair shared paintwork for most of the race, $241,800 in brick entertaining the crowd. His tactics worked a treat with team Fabish reversing last year’s result when team Edwards prevailed. The biggest hits of the day belonged to Henry and Hamill. Both of them clobbered the wall, on separate occasions, in totally solo efforts — not surprising for first time stockcar racers. ‘‘What an adrenaline rush,’’ commented Henry after the final race. ‘‘We’re playing at the highest level, to race against guys like Tony and Mark who have the same passion in another sport was such an awesome experience. ‘‘We all felt privileged to be welcomed into their culture.’’ The commitment to this event from the Kihikihi Speedway Club, The Head Injury Society and The Rock unfortunately did not convert into a big crowd — largely due to the weather conditions on the day. Castleton in command

Blair Castleton drove his way to a popular victory in the King Country Streetstock Championship at McDonald’s Kihikihi Speedway on Saturday.

8432308AA The hometown hero scored two wins and a second in the three heats. Greg Maxted reports it was a commanding performance in what has been something of a bogey CALL 0800 22 22 36 event for the newly crowned champion. Castleton has been one of the stalwarts of the Kihikihi Streetstock scene since the nineties, but a run of bad luck meant the King Country title was one event that had always eluded him. Gary Smith in car 23K and 61K Warren Whittaker completed the podium. Both enjoyed clear runs until the final heat when Whittaker was spun up early and elected to pick up some of the stirrer’s money, while Smith was spun out multiple times in the later stages of the race.

Retired former Mossad secret agents Rachel Singer (Helen Mirren) and Stefan Gold (Tom Wilkinson) are shocked by news they receive in 1997 concerning their former colleague David. All three have been venerated for decades by their country because of a mission they undertook back in 1966, when they tracked down Nazi war criminal Vogel in East Berlin. The mission exposed them to great risk and was accomplished at considerable personal cost. Startling new revelations leave them doubting if they achieved their goal after all. Shifting across two different time periods, the movie gradually reveals the truth of what really happened 8431098AA Friday Night LIVE BAND WINGMEN
