The Good Boss
Spanish with English subtitles
Cast: Javier Bardem
Rated M - Strong language and nudity.
Benevolent patriarch, Julio Blanco [Javier Bardem] is CEO of a family company that manufactures precision industrial scales and his mission in life is to win a prestigious business award.
With the national committee about to arrive for an inspection, Julio does not care what he must do to win. So, in front of the media, he is all smiles when giving a pep talk to his employees about the importance of community. But behind the scenes, Julio is ruthless with staff and fixates on shutting down a local protest taking place across the road from his factory.

Tickets: Door sales only. Price: $10 for WFS members, $15 for non members.
Cash only please - no Eftpos/credit card services available.

What is causing your back discomfort if you haven't made any changes to your normal routine?
The solution might be in your mattress. There are several red flags to check for to determine whether your mattress is to fault. The first indicator is when you have a backache. If you have back discomfort when you first wake up, but you can stretch it away in 15-30 minutes, your mattress is doing more damage than good.
Also, if you find yourself waking up more frequently or tossing and turning in bed, this should be another red flag. Even if you do not suffer from back problems, you should change your mattress every eight to ten years for a healthier lifestyle and better sleep quality.
It’s everyone’s favourite October holiday. That time of year when you decorate your home with spiders and dress up in costumes. Have a spookylicious night!

Our District’s top honours for this year go to Felicity Christian, Brian Corney, Fred Tito and Steve Westgate, in recognition of their outstanding service to the community.
A Civic Honour Award is the highest honour we can bestow on a Whangārei resident. Each of these recipients has been nominated by people in their communities who have seen first-hand what they have achieved throughout their lifetime. Through tireless work, commitment and generosity of spirit, each of these nominees has made our District a better place.
Only four Civic Awards are given out each year. In a District with more than 96,000 people, receiving one of these awards is an outstanding achievement. Once again we congratulate Felicity, Brian, Fred and Steve and warmly thank them for their service to our District.
The 2022 recipients were announced at a special ceremony on 30 September with friends, family members, Mayor Sheryl Mai, councillors and local dignitaries in attendance.
