Westpac Waikato Air Ambu-lance was returning from a spe-cial delivery on Sunday morning when it was diverted to Kawhia.

A pregnant patient from Whitianga who was having complications with delivery was being fl own to Waikato Hospital, when the pilot was informed that delivery was imminent and he began descent to a paddock alongside SH25. The child was born about 30 seconds prior to landing. The mother and father and their healthy baby girl were then returned to Whitianga.

As the aircraft was returning to Hamilton, another call direct-ed them to recover a man who had fallen from his motorcycle in Kawhia. The Raglan man was participating in a trail ride at a motocross track. He was fl own to Waikato Hospital with chest injuries.

Two Treaty roadshows hit townBy Grant Johnston

The Treaty 2U roadshow hit Te Awamutu last week, shadowed by the One New Zealand ‘protest’ van.

The fi rst is a Government funded education exercise (with its budget over the past two years running at $2.35 Million), the other ba-sically three blokes in a van with some books and banners.

Both carry vastly different versions of what they claim is the ‘real Treaty of Waitangi’.

The One New Zealand ‘vanguard’ com-prises founding member and chairman, Ross Baker, historian and author, Martin Doutré and the fi rst man in New Zealand to lose his land through a Treaty of Waitangi grievance claim, Allan Titford.

Their real aim is to promote the document known as ‘The Littlewood Treaty’ as the fi nal English draft of the Treaty of Waitangi.

This document was found in John and Beryl Littlewood’s deceased mother’s estate in 1989 - several years after the Lange-led Labour Government introduced the Principles for Crown Action on the Treaty of Waitangi and the State-Owned Enterprises Act.

One New Zealand says while these gave Maori special rights and privileges over non-Maori, the ‘original treaty’ gave these rights to all New Zealanders.

The ‘Littlewood Treaty’ is allegedly a copy of the ‘fi nal English draft of the Treaty’, writ-ten by British resident James Busby under the direction of Governor William Hobson on February 4, 1840 two days before the Treaty’s signing by 52 Maori chiefs at Waitangi.

One New Zealand says this Treaty and the Maori Tiriti O Waitangi guarantee equality for all the people of New Zealand.

They say our present day Treaty legislation is based on Busby’s February 3, 1840 rough draft, in which he omitted to mention the

‘settlers’ or the rights of Ngati Whikitoria (the family of Queen Victoria) - an oversight corrected in the February 4 version.

“Most New Zealanders want equal rights for all New Zealanders - including 80% of Maori we speak to,” Mr Baker says.

“In fact a lot of Maori are less confused about the Treaty than a lot of Europeans.”

Mr Titford says they followed the offi cial treaty exhibition last year with their own ‘touring display, but people who approached them were a lot more interested and a lot more aware of their Treaty story this year.

“We are gaining traction with ordinary New Zealanders, even if offi cialdom preferred that we simply went away,” Mr Doutré says.

He became interested in the Littlewood Treaty after he was challenged by a Maori student in 2003 to ‘tell the people about the Treaty of Waitangi”.

He read Ross Baker’s book ‘From Treaty to Conspiracy’. This led to him writing his own book - ‘The Littlewood Treaty, the True Eng-lish Text of the Treaty of Waitangi - Found’ and joining forces with One New Zealand.

The trio say the authenticity of the docu-ment is without doubt, although they claim the Government has never honoured an undertaking to thoroughly research this and release the fi ndings.

Treaty of Waitangi authority, Dr Claudia Orange has expressed doubts that the “Lit-tlewood Treaty’ is the missing English draft - stating it was more likely to be a transla-tion of the Maori version of the Treaty into English. She has said the fact the paper on which the document was written had an 1833 watermark was inconclusive, as it could have been “paper that was hanging around the so-licitor’s offi ce and was used”.

Another acknowledged expert Treaty re-searcher, Dr Phil Parkinson, has concluded that the handwriting in the ‘Littlewood Trea-ty’ is the handwriting of James Busby.

Editor’s note: What really appears to be in contention is the actual mean-ing of the Maori version of the Tiriti O Waitangi. The Treaty 2U roadshow distributes copies of the Maori text and English translation (as provided by the late Professor Hugh Kawhura). The translation promoted by One New Zealand was produced, they say, by Reverend Henry Williams and his son on the evening of February 4, 1840. This includes a Maori translation of the (Eng-lish draft) Treaty’s second article: “The Queen of England confi rms and guaran-tees to the chiefs and tribes and all the people of New Zealand the possession of their lands, dwellings and all their prop-erty” (virtually identical to the ‘offi cial’ translation by Mr T.E. Young of the Na-tive Department in 1869). The Kawhura translation of the same Maori text into English reads: “Her Majesty the Queen of England confi rms and guarantees to the chiefs and tribes of New Zealand and to the respective families and in-dividuals thereof the full exclusive and undisturbed possession of their lands and estates, forests and fi sheries ...”

An open letter to the youth of Te Awamutu:

Do you care that there is a re-quest unto Council by the Commu-nity Board to consider removing the brick seating in Alexandra Street?

The main reason is because groups of youths spit, swear and vomit from these seats.

This behaviour is extremely off-putting to the businesses and people that work nearby and it is

not a good look for our town.I appeal to you as one who did

not support the removal of the seats to stop this crap. If you know those who did it tell them to get real and let us all enjoy what we have.

Believe me - it seems easier to ‘tear down’ rather than ‘build up’ when public places and spaces are involved.

CAROL MARTIN-PAGETe Awamutu Community Board

Behaviour could see main street seats removed

I note with interest your sugges-tion in the Courier of February 9 that increased daylight saving will extend the daylight. Well, well! Will it also make your curtains fade faster?

You go on to promote the concept by stating that “studies show extra sunshine simply makes people happy.”

I’m sure it does but I’m at a loss to see where this extra sunshine is going to come from. Weather permitting, I see the sun rise every day and I see it set every day.

It doesn’t matter whether my clock is slow, fast or stopped alto-gether, it has no effect on the rising or setting of the sun.

For the sloths who insist on clinging to their beds in the morn-ing, this fact will come as a big surprise.

But I do suspect it is those same indolent and rather selfi sh indi-viduals who would rather incon-venience the energetic, early risers than get out of bed a bit earlier to satisfy their desire for more sun-shine.

The Courier services a rural community and the economic prosperity of the district (and,

by extension, your newspaper) is largely supported by that rural community.

Maybe the Courier could give a little more thought to the impact on its rural readership before pay-ing blind obeisance to this populist mantra.

ROGER CLARKEEditor’s note: Mr Clarke, I assume you are referring to an article in the February 9 issue regarding a petition that was placed at four retail outlets in Te Awamutu by proponents of a proposal to ex-tend New Zealand’s daylight sav-ing period beyond its current 24 week term. Presence of the peti-tion in our town was a fact and reporting it a fulfi lment of news responsibility, rather than an ex-pression either way of whether this newspaper supported the call. I could fi nd no reference to ‘extending the daylight’ - only to the re-aligning of clocks for a longer period of the year to ‘daylight saving’ hours. Not really an effort to create more daylight (which, as you have pointed out, would be a futile exercise) but to creating greater opportunity to access the existing daylight.

Where will extra daylight come from?

By Colin ThorsenThe legendary Church family

continued their domination of the Waikato Rodeo at Kihikihi Domain on Saturday.

There was no stopping Corey Church - the only one of four brothers not to have won the national rodeo allround cowboy title.

He won both the open saddle bronc and rope and tie event, as well as placing second in the steer wrestling.

His winning time for the rope and tie was a staggering 10.13 seconds, almost two seconds faster than the second placeget-ter Patrick McCarthy.

Corey Church’s win in the sad-dle bronc was just as emphatic, fi nishing seven points clear of second placed John Mitchell and 10 ahead of Jonny Ward.

Brothers Daryl, Clarry and Dion Church have all won

national allround cowboy titles - Darryl is the reigning cham-pion.

Corey Church showed he too has all the attributes to one day join them being crowned King of the Cowboys.

He went into the Waikato Ro-deo fi fth overall, well behind the two top competitors Jonny Ward and Daryl Church.

His two fi rsts and a second could well have seen him over-take third and fourth placed Clarry Church and Patrick Mc-Carthy, but one doubts whether he has a realistic chance of breaking through for his fi rst allround cowboy crown this year.

Next weekend at Urenui is the last points awards rodeo of the season, followed by the national fi nals at Millars Flat on March 17.

Jonny Ward had to settle for

third in his specialist bull ride event, won by Steve Anderson, who does not feature in the top 15 national standings.

A horse called Ghost from Kawhia, a fi rst timer at the ro-deo, performed well in a saddle bronc demonstration, earning the rider 74 points. Had it been in competition proper, it would have been a prize money score.

A record crowd resulted in the refreshment stalls doing a roar-ing trade, most vendors enjoying record takings.

The ice cream truck ran out of supplies, such was the demand in the sweltering heat.

There was plenty of entertain-ment for the children besides the rodeo action. Mica the Clown had a particularly big fan club.

Rodeo spokesperson Caroline Kennedy expressed the asso-ciation’s appreciation to all the volunteers, workers and spon-

By Dean TaylorThe offi cial launch of the

Gracelands service centre fundraising campaign took place on Thursday night with the welcome news that $500,000 had already been pledged.

Fundraising committee chairman Sam Lewis an-nounced the money had been granted by the DV Bryant Trust, Lion Foun-dation, Trust Waikato and Fountain City Trust.

Master of Ceremonies for the launch was former Te Awamutu resident Dr Ste-ven Saunders, and speak-ers included Gracelands founder and CEO Robyn Klos, Mr Lewis and Gra-

celands trustees. Attendees were invited to dig deep for the cause, and to spread the word.

Trustee and fundraiser Brian Marcroft gave a mov-ing account of his family’s involvement with Grace-lands following an horrifi c accident involving his son Kent.

Waipa Mayor Alan Liv-ingston pulled the switch to launch the rocket and the fundraising.

Te Awamutu Courier will be publishing details of fundraising events, or for more information on events or how to donate phone 871 6410 or visit the Teasdale Street Service Centre.

TRUSTEE and fundraiser Wendy Neilson (fl anked by MC Dr Steven Saunders) described why she was passionate about the work of Gracelands. 051075AD

Truck takes tumble

Firefi ghters in special chemical suits had to remove potentially haz-ardous material from a rolled truck in Pirongia on Sunday night before the long salvage process was able to begin.

The southbound B-train rolled on the corner of Baffi n and Franklin Streets at about 7pm Sun-day. Firefi ghters from the Pirongia Rural Fire Force and Te Awamutu Brigade secured the scene.

Hamilton’s Hazard-ous Substance Unit was required so specialist equipment was available to ensure the vehicle was safe to salvage.

The entire operation went well into Monday morning before the road could be re-opened.

Luckily no other vehi-cles were involved in the crash and the truck driver

was not injured.The police enquiry is

continuing.BUS GOES OFF-ROADPolice are also investi-

gating a bus crash on Pa-terangi Road on Saturday evening.

The GoBus was return-ing from a day trip to Auckland to see the ar-rival of the Queen Mary ocean liner when the driv-er failed to take a right hand bend and dropped the left front wheel off the road surface.

Police are praising his decision to drive into a paddock rather than try and stay on the road, as the steepness of the bank would probably have re-sulted in the bus rolling.

The driver was able to keep the bus on its wheels and no-one was seriously injured.

(Above) SPECIALLY suited fi refi ghters approach the rolled truck to make sure the scene is safe for salvage workers. 051076AD(Below) TEAMWORK is required to get fi refi ghters into the chemical suits. 051076BD

Pookster’s powerful performance

By Cathy AsplinHe has his own pillow on the

porch, a set of steps so he can pop in and out of the swimming pool and eats peanuts for treats - but Pookster was used to this star treat-ment even before he appeared on television.

Pookster, the 18 month old pukeko from Paterangi, is amusing people with his antics in the current Gen-esis Energy advertisement.

Collecting bits and pieces for his nest - from shoelaces out of a shoe on the back doorstep to shredded paper out of the offi ce bin - Pookster is seen on the beach, in a camping ground, on the farm and in the city.

He looks equally comfortable walking on a pedestrian crossing or across a paddock.

His owners (or perhaps that should be caretakers) Judy and Dave Fentress have had Pookster since he was a chick.

He was hand raised from an egg incubated in their Paterangi bird nursery - just one of hundreds of birds that have begun their life on the Fentress property.

Mrs Fentress works at the Otorohanga Kiwi House and it was there the ad makers went in their search for a tame pukeko to star in a Genesis advertisement.

“I am the treasurer there and the initial enquiry was turned down as they didn’t have any suitable puke-kos. But they put the ad makers on to me and I said we had a pukeko that might be suitable.

“I was initially a little concerned about what they wanted to do or how they intended to do it.

“But when the professional ani-mal trainers arrived at our home I was impressed with their bird han-

dling skills and their background, so I felt happy about Pookster visiting Auckland for a couple of months.”

Mark Vette from ‘Animals on Cue’ was the trainer and he had previ-ously worked with birds on Xena and Lord of the Rings.

His training ability using a hand beeper may be familiar to some peo-ple after a television documentary.

“Mark kept us informed about how Pookster was doing with his training and said he was lovely to train, a very calm bird.”

A second bird taken for training didn’t have quite the same tempera-ment and was used for the fi nal shot of the advertisement, in the com-pleted nest with two young chicks.

While Pookster carried out all of the actions shown in the adver-tisement, not all skills had to be learned.

“Pukekos naturally peck at things and pick things up. You don’t take Pookster weeding in the garden - you might pull out the weeds, but he pulls out the fl owers!

“You don’t leave you shoes at our door either - Pookster will take them for sure and likes giving them a good soaking - often in the swim-ming pool.”

Mr and Mrs Fentress were a lit-tle concerned Pookster might return home ‘with a big head’ after his star-ring role.

“But he’s just the same. He just hangs around home most of the time. He might disappear for a while, but he always comes back.”

tisement featuring Pookster, or want to see it again, it can be viewed on: www.genesisenergy.co.nz

STAR QUALITY: Pookster relaxing on his ramp in the pool at the Fentress home. 051079BD

NO PROBLEM: Pookster is quick to start untying Dave Fentress’ shoe laces - something he can also be seen doing on television in the latest Genesis Energy advertisement. 051079AD

Makethe most !of Summer

Now that we’re fi nally enjoying some better weather, make the most of the fi nal weeks of sum-mer - whether it’s getting some projects fi nished around the section, enjoying outdoor dining, visiting a special beach spot, or attending a festival or sporting fi xture (like the day-night cricket match today in Hamilton).

AROUND HOMEGet those outdoor projects

done while there is good weather and plenty of time - whether it’s fi xing the deck, building new out-door furniture or tidying up around

the garden.Concreting, drainage work,

retaining, fencing, driveways, landscaping etc are all easier to complete at this time of the year.

AROUND WIDER DISTRICTIf you don’t have any pressing

jobs at home why not make the most of the great places on our back doorstep.

● How about heading to Kawhia? (pictured above)

● Try ‘going bush’ - Mt Pirongia offers plenty of opportunities for tramping, climbing, bush walks and swimming.

● Mt Kakepuku and Maunga-tautari Mountain also offer some great tramping opportunities and have magic views.

● Other walks include the track around Lake Ngaroto, the Walter Scott Reserve, Yarndley’s Bush.

● Castlerock also has some great walking tracks, as well as mountain biking tracks, rock climbing and fl ying fox.

Te Awamutu Information Cen-tre has details about all of these great spots, as well as plenty of other ideas to make the most of the remaining days of summer.

Pre-ordered platters are also available this year from Cre8tering.

most !of Summern style Does your outdoor area

work for your lifestyle? By Nicky Samuel

With the hot balmy eve-nings we’ve enjoyed re-cently it becomes a priority to be happy with the layout of the outdoor living space you have access to.

‘Indoor-outdoor fl ow’ has become a catch phrase over recent years, and what it means is the ease with which you can move between the indoor living space and the outdoor space in the garden.

Site layout of new resi-dential sites usually pro-vides good access, with larger doors giving excel-lent access to an adjacent paved area or timber deck.

However, older resi-dences require careful planning to maximize the available space.

Traditional house design often had the residence facing the road rather than to capture the sun during the day, so creating out-door spaces that work for the house occupants is very important.

Whilst working with cli-ents, it’s important for me as a landscape designer to establish priorities to ensure that the fi nal de-sign meets expectations.

Each situation provides many challenges with client’s individual require-

ments and their respective sites being different.

Recently elan design completed an installation for Te Awamutu residents Michael Cox and Kather-ine O’Regan.

Their request to me was to provide a design to modernise the area outdoor living area and provide more space close to their main indoor living area.

The site had large areas of old dark cobblestones, narrow patios that restrict-ed their use and grassed areas beyond the paved areas.

The new design gave a total revamp providing extended patio areas with a pergola providing cover from the hot summer sun, new paving using 600 x 600mm sandstone pavers and an area of coloured concrete to create a fresh, uniform look.

To enhance access around the site, paved paths provided links to areas beyond the house whilst a free standing per-gola provided a frame for a wisteria to ramble over, and additional garden beds created spaces for favourite plants.

COMPLETED: a revamped outdoor living area for Te Awamutu residents Michael Cox and Katherine O’Regan features extended patio areas, new paving, coloured concrete and a pergola.


Makethe most !of Summer

Can’t beat a ‘barbie’

One of the wonderful aspects of living in a good climate is the ability to cook and dine outdoors, enjoying the great Kiwi ‘barbie’.

Steak and sausies still sizzle away year in, year out, but they have been joined by more eclectic fare in recent years. Modern high tech barbecues let us bake, roast, rotisserie stir-fry and much more.

All barbecues rely on the same principle to work properly - even, intense heat, provided by wood, charcoal or most often gas.

The cheapest barbecues are the wood burners. They’re essen-tially a bowl on a tripod.

If you’re using wood in one of these barbecues, it has to be untreated, and preferably a high density variety to give longer, even heat.

Charcoal is a good fuel, but wait until it is covered in ash before you throw the food on.

Portable gas barbecues are cleaner, generally sturdier and are just simple grills cooking by direct heat.

A relative newcomer to the scene is the compact cooker in a case with a carrying handle. It has a gas cylinder that looks rather like a beer can, and is ideal where

space is at a premium.Your modern barbie chef can

grill, fry, steam, smoke, roast, stir-fry, deep-fry, you name it.

Barbecue maintenance requires common sense. Keep all the work-ing parts clean, especially the gas fi ttings. Don’t allow fat, dirt, or ash to accumulate, and invest in a bar-becue cover.

Choose a barbecue that best suits your needs (there’s plenty of sales at this time of the year), make sure you’ve got the right ac-cessories, and you’ll have the next best thing to a modern kitchen in your backyard.

Double speedway whammy

By Colin ThorsenBill Peat dealt to

Steve De Malmanche in a crowd-pleas-ing ‘cat and mouse like’ run off to win the North Island Streetstocks title at McDonald’s Kihikihi Speedway.

The four lap run off was necessary after Aucklander Peat and host club hero De Malmanche fi nished the three races equal fi rst on 61 points.

De Malmanche led out, only to be caught and spun by Peat.

A battle of tactics ensued over the fi nal two laps before a De Malmanche tactical error back-fi red, gifting the win to Peat.

De Malmanche attempted a 360 degree move, when in front, in order to get Peat to lead out. The Aucklander was having none of it, biding his time until De Malmanche was halfway through his manoeuvre, then accelerated away, never to be caught.

Kihikihi contracted driver Trevor De Malmanche complet-ed a memorable family affair fi nishing third on 56 points.

Fourth and fi fth placings went to David Hampton (Hawkes Bay) and Stuart Cadman (Strat-ford) with 56 and 53 points re-spectively.

NZ1 Nigel Patterson was in contention after two races, only to be driven into the wall by 21K Dean Clarke in race three.

One of the other pre-race favourites, Mark McNabb, was also put out of the contest in race three after leading the 23 car fi eld with a win and second in races one and two.

The King Country Production Saloons, run in conjunction with the North Is-land Streetstocks, was won by Kihikihi contracted driver Ryan Johnson in car 177K.

Minor placings went to Richard

Mahy (Rotorua) and Aaron Al-derton, a young Huntly driver not long out of ministocks.

Fourth was Carl Barrett in car 69R, with another Rotorua driver Malcolm Smith fi fth.

McDonald’s Kihikihi Speed-way hosts the two-day North Island Superstocks this coming weekend.

Easy rider loves pulling moves

Peter Bees is so seri-ous about his freestyle riding, he took a week off work to prepare for a freestyle competition in Hamilton.

Employer Brett Pur-chase says he was more than happy to accom-modate Peter’s time off, especially after he scooped the major title at the C.B.R Surf & Skate sponsored free-style competition in Te Awamutu recently.

The talented teen-ager, who celebrated his 16th birthday last Thursday, was riding his newly acquired 2007 Mongoose Steve Mann freestyle bike.

Although fi nishing out of the placings in hot competition in Hamilton, Bees said it was a cool experience and he learned heaps of new moves.

You can spot him down at Te Awamutu’s Skate Park most days perfecting his moves - practise that has paid off.

When not riding, Bees can be found at Te A’ Cycles where he has recently been employed as a cycle mechanic.

He is keen to develop freestyle bike products and accessories dis-plays further in store.

“I want to share my passion for the sport with like-minded peo-ple.”

PETER BEES honing his skills at his second home at the Skate Park in Rewi Street. 0510717AD

By Colin ThorsenKen Garrett has fond memo-

ries of his Waipa Workingmen’s Club team winning the Char-tered Club’s national men’s outdoor bowling tournament at South Wairarapa in 1978.

The victorious team, skipped by the late Sid Parish, also in-cluded Eddie Madden and the late Sam Campbell.

Garrett recalls his team quali-fying with six wins from eight games and winning 11 out of 13 games in all.

They beat a South Taranaki four 18-16 in the fi nal.

Little did Garrett know that 29 years later he would be president of Te Awamutu Bowling Club hosting a section of the 34th annual Chartered Club’s tourna-ment in 2007.

Te Awamutu greens were used Monday, Tuesday and Wednes-day last week for qualifying rounds, as were Pirongia..

The event attracted 232 teams (928 players) from Whangarei to

Waimate in the south.Garrett says he would have

loved to see one of the six Te Awamutu teams entered tri-umph to experience the thrill his four enjoyed nearly three decades ago.

Sadly, none of the RSA or Waipa Workingmen’s Club teams managed the necessary six wins from eight games to qualify for the semi-fi nals and fi nals in Hamilton.

John Apeldoorn’s RSA team, including Gary Snellgrove, Derek Yates and Ron Willcox looked the most likely - sitting on fi ve wins after six games but that proved to be their lot.

The Waipa WMC team of Dave Barnes, Fred Boothby, Doug Cot-terell and Doug Barrass likewise just missed the cut with fi ve wins.

The tournament was won by a Hillcrest team comprising Neil Clarke (s), Lloyd Clarke, Jerry Pattenden and Fred Birch, who beat a team from Oamaru in the

fi nal. Te Awamutu greens were also

used on Thursday by the 28 non qualifying teams who played off for the Kelly Consolation Plate.

Defying defi nitive defi nition they fi t into many genres of rock music’s subcategories.

With their music attracting various labels including Gothic

Metal, Nu Metal, Piano Rock, Arena Rock and Chamber Pop it’s easy to see how they have such wide appeal.

With previous hit singles from earlier albums including Eve-rybody’s Fool, Going Under, My Immortal, Bring Me To Life, and Lithium it’s no wonder they have such a diverse fanbase.

Their new album has already spawned the great hit Call Me When You’re Sober and promises more to come.

This will be a show they will be talking about around the camp-fi res for many moons to come!

To be in to win simply put your name, address and daytime

An Inconvenient Truth

Here, we have Al Gore narrating a doco on global warming, with a passion and credibility that stems from his concern for his children’s wellbeing and an understanding of the real danger facing us from pollutants – the base cause of the storms and hurricanes, the heat waves and torrential rains which have had such disastrous effects in the past decade.

The fi lm is not a cin-ematic adventure. But while it may not be ad-venturous cinema, it is both a huge adventure

in ideas, and an ut-terly absorbing journey through a process of change.

This is a fi lm that educates us in ways that are powerfully objective and entertainingly ab-sorbing. In its treatment of the most serious prob-lem to face humanity, ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ offers both intelligent background and practi-cal advice in a package that is easy to digest, entertaining to watch, and thought provoking in the extreme.

It is a fi lm for our time, and one that no one with a concern for their children’s future should miss.

JindabyneStewart Kane, an

Irishman living in the Australian town of Jindabyne, is on a fi sh-ing trip in isolated hill country with three other men when they discover the body of a murdered girl in the river.

Rather than return to town immediately, they continue fi shing and re-port their gruesome fi nd days later. When they get home, they must confront the rage and incomprehension of the townspeople. Stewart’s wife Claire is the last to fi nd out.

Deeply disturbed by her husband’s action, her faith in her relation-ship with Stewart is shaken to the core.

She wants to under-stand and tries to make things right. In her de-termination to help the victim’s family Claire sets herself not only against her own fam-

ily and friends but also those of the dead girl.

Her marriage is taken to the brink and her peaceful life with Stew-art and their young son hangs in the balance.

A powerful and original fi lm about the things that haunt us.
