Uenuku to star at Te Papa

CFP

UENUKU being filmed for national TV news in December, 1982 prior to Te Maori.

Tainui’s great taonga Uenuku will soonleave the Waipa for Wellington’s Te Papa totake centre place in the exhibition Tai timu,tai pari, Tainui: Journey of a People. He will beaway for two-and-a-half years.

Uenuku is the taonga that inspired so manypeople during the Te Maori Exhibition whichtoured America in 1984.

A highly treasured taonga of the Tainuipeople, Uenuku is said to be one of thetraditional gods or spirits of Maori, andmanifests as a rainbow.

‘‘We urge anyone who hasn’t yet visitedUenuku to come and see him before he leavesat the beginning of August,’’ says StephanieLambert, senior curator at the Te AwamutuMuseum where Uenuku is customarilyhoused.

Many people have been working busilybehind the scenes for more than six months tomake Uenuku’s journey to Te Papa possible.

SUCCESSFUL NEGOTIATIONSThe decision for the taonga to travel to

Wellington was negotiated between Te Awa-mutu Museum Trust Board, the office of KingTuheitia, Waipa District Council and Te Papa.

‘‘Members of Te Awamutu Trust Boardwere in two minds over the request to sendUenuku to Wellington,’’ says Museum TrustBoard chairman Dean Taylor.

‘‘On one hand he is the pride and joy of ourcollection. On the other, the chance to sharethis magnificent taonga with a wider audiencewas hard to turn down,’’ says Mr Taylor.

‘‘ It gave us an opportunity to strengthenour relationships with Tainui and the widermuseum community. Uenuku’s absence alsoprovides us with a challenge to share hisstories with our museum audiences in newways’’.

Shane Te Ruki is the kaitiaki appointed byKing Tuheitia to ensure appropriate culturalpractices are followed. As well as taking careof karakia, powhiri and people, Mr Te Ruki isthe kaiwhakahaere (Tainui exhibition mana-ger) working with Te Papa, and has been avaluable link between both museums, theoffice of the Maaori King and the Tainui WakaAlliance.

‘‘I have no doubt that Uenuku and the manyother Tainui taonga will be in safe hands at TePapa,’’ says Mr Te Ruki.

‘‘The rangitira of Tainui iwi Ngaati Toa arein Wellington and kaumaatua from Tainui willalways be at hand to keep him company duringhis time away. My watch as kaitiaki is 24/7’’.

The physical care of Uenuku is being led bywood conservator Dilys Johns from the Uni-versity of Auckland Department of Archae-ology.

The day-to-day management is a co-operative process between staff of Te AwamutuMuseum and Te Papa.

For example, the custom-made crate inwhich Uenuku toured the United States withTe Maori is at present at Te Papa having extralayers of insulation built into it to reducevariations in temperature and humidity dur-ing its wintry transit.

Double standardsover water supply

J. Cotterel’s July 21st letter has prompted me towrite regarding out town water supply.

For many years there has been an ongoingseepage of water from the first water tank on theleft going up Greenhill Drive.

Also, for many years there is treated water,piped from this tank, running into a culvert at therate of about 10 litres a minute, 24 hours a day,seven days a week for 52 weeks of the year. Wouldsomeone from Council please tell us how manyleaking household taps this waste of water equatesto?

Because of the summer water restrictionsCouncil imposes on ratepayers, and because of thenumber of years this wastage has been occurring,could it be said that Council has double standards?

I understand that in recent times an endeavourwas made to rectify the seepage from the tank butwithout success. Alas! Waste of time, energy andmoney.

Also, it is my understanding that some of thewater supply pipes etc are the originals from manyyears ago which makes our water infrastructuresomewhat fragile. Should a disaster occur, requir-ing repair work of more than three days our townwould have no water supply.

Perhaps more of us need to be aware that wateris essential for all forms of life to live and that cleanwater is necessary for hygiene, health and recrea-tion; and that each drop of water is precious thatfills a tank.

Should an efficiently functioning and wellmaintained infrastructure that meets the needs ofa community and allows for its growth anddevelopment be a priority?

LONGSERVING volunteer firefighter Grant Mitchell sits next to his wife Lisa and daughters Aimee (right)and Abby.

Firefighter’s wife also honoured

Te Awamutu Fire Brigade’sGold Star Award Evening, tocelebrate and honour 25 years ofservice by Grant Mitchell, was areal family affair.

Making the award was DonHallett, a former Te AwamutuChief Fire Officer and past presi-dent of the United Fire BrigadesAssociation (UFBA). He is also MrMitchell’s uncle.

Seated at the front of the hallwas Mr Mitchell, his wife Lisa anddaughters Aimee and Abby. Theyhad been piped in through thelargest guard of honour in mem-ory.

Mr Hallett said joining a vol-unteer fire brigade is a hugecommitment of time and effort,with weekly training nights,special training on someweekends and a 24 day cover toanswer fire and emergency callsin the area.

‘‘This requires a special per-son to do this for 25 years, andGrant is one of those people,’’ hesaid.

‘‘It is a fact that the fire servicecould not operate as it does todaywithout its volunteers.

‘‘The UFBA Gold Star is themost coveted award in the ser-vice. Only 6% of people who jointhe service carry on to receive it.

‘‘This gold star tonight is the34th that has been issued to amember of the Te Awamutu Bri-gade in its 98 year history andnumber 6767 issued by the UFBAin its 133 year history.

Before making the presenta-tion, Mr Hallett recognised thepart that spouses and partnersplay in supporting the firefightersin their role.

He said without that support itwould be hard to run a volunteerbrigade — and pointed out thatLisa Mitchell had performed inher support role to the highestlevel.

Mrs Mitchell, along with otherachievements, received the awardfor outstanding contribution fromthe Brigade members partner forthree three years running from2008.

In recognition of her contri-bution, Mrs Mitchell was given aunique honour — a certificate ofappreciation from the UFBA.

Mr hallett also recognisedemployers of volunteer firefight-ers and the self-employed mem-bers of the brigade, who withouttheir input, it would be very hardfor them to maintain their coverfor workday fire calls.

Mr Mitchell joined the TeAwamutu Brigade in April, 1986.He says his uncle Don told him to.

In the following years hebecame involved in all areas ofthe Brigade, living in the Stationfor nine years and competing withthe Te Awamutu team for sixyears. He also ran in a team thatcompeted in Australia in 1992 and1996.

Mr Mitchell served on theCentral North Island Sub Associa-tion as president and is now a lifemember.

He assisted with training ofbrigade members and ran thehigh angle rescue team for nineyears.

Another role was as casualtrainer teaching volunteers forthe Bay/Waikato area for 14years.

He worked in the Hamilton

control room for 10 months in 1998and after the control room closedhe spent six years at HamiltonAirport Rescue Fire as a stationofficer and training officer,achieving his National Certificatein Airport Level 3 and passed hisfirefighter D1 exams.

At the same time he remaineda member of the Te AwamutuBrigade.

In October, 2008 he attended astation officers course at WhyteIsland, Brisbane, achieving theposition of Senior Station Officer.

Mr Mitchell has since beenemployed by the Fire Service as aVolunteer Support Officer andregretfully tendered his resigna-tion as a volunteer firefighter —although he is still fully involvedwith assisting over 300 volunteersat 14 stations on a professionalbasis.

In his spare time over the pastquarter century, Mr Mitchell alsoserved as a territorial soldier inthe New Zealand Army for 17years and he was a St JohnVolunteer.

During his 25 years with TeAwamutu Fire Brigade, MrMitchell was present 1434 times —a 93% turnout, which is a greatrecord.

Mr Mitchell said it had been apleasure to serve his communityin this way — and also honouredhis other family members who arevolunteer firefighters.

He pointed out that betweenhimself, uncles Don and FrankHallett, cousin Peter Hallett anduncle Russell Percy (Te Puke)there were four Gold Star holdersand nearly 130 years volunteerservice.

Regional Council wants your views on velodromePublic consultation on a

$6 million funding proposalfor a national cycling centreof excellence, including avelodrome, near Cambridgeopened last week.

At an extraordinary coun-cil meeting last week Wai-kato Regional Councilfinalised the statement ofproposal detailing the costsand benefits of the proposedvelodrome and the ratingoptions.

Chairman Peter Buckleysaid the council had vigor-ously debated the issues andoptions.

‘‘We have followed good

process and done all that isrequired of us legally — it’snow up to the public to tell ustheir views on the proposal,’’he said.

The council wants toknow whether people sup-port a $6 million granttoward the $28.5 million dol-lar velodrome, and their pre-ferred rating option.

Funding would come frominternal borrowing from theinvestment fund and repaidby ratepayers over a 20-yearperiod. The loan will becharged 5.65% interestreviewed every three yearsas part of the Long Term

Plan, resulting in an annualrating requirement of$601,109.

The council is seekingfeedback on two ratepayerfunding options to repay theloan.

The first option is aregion-wide flat rate of $3.18which spreads the costevenly across the region

The second is a two-tierfunding system which recog-nises the localised benefit ofthe proposed facility. Thiswould see properties in Wai-pa, Hamilton, Tamahere andEureka wards of Waikatodistrict pay $3.94 a year, and

all other ratepayers $2.66.Any Waikato Regional

Council rates would be inaddition to the cost of theWaipa $1 million contri-bution which amounts to$4.84 per rateable property.The regional council will alsobe asking the region’s terri-torial authorities to submiton the statement of proposalstating their formal positionon whether the regionalcouncil should apply aregional rate to fund the $6million. Councils will beasked to identify their pre-ferred rating option.

If the regional council

funds the proposed cyclingcentre of excellence it wouldneed to make changes to thecurrent Long Term Plan,including a new funding pol-icy and updating the treasurypolicy to allow internalborrowings to apply to thegrant.

Cr Buckley said the coun-cil had carefully consideredthe issues before decidingwhether to consult with thepublic following a requestfrom the Home of CyclingTrust for local governmentfunding.

‘‘We are hearing equalnumbers of voices for and

against the proposal, and itwould have been undemo-cratic to simply kick it totouch without even hearingformally from the public,’’ hesaid.

‘The statement of proposaland submission form areavailable on-line atwww.waikatoregion.govt.nz,from all public libraries andcouncil offices or on requestby calling 0800 800 401.

People can also join theconversation atwww.facebook.com/waikatoregion. Consultationcloses at 4pm on Monday,August 22.

ROKTOPUS operations manager Alex Handcock (foreground) andmanaging director Theo Jaques installing safety surfacing andpreparing the site for the installation of new play equipment.

Te Awamutu’s new playgroundis inching closer to completion asRoktopus prepare the site for theinstallation of the new equipment.

Managing director Theo Jaquesand operations manager AlexHandcock have been on site instal-ling safety surfacing around thebases of the equipment and ensur-ing all the levels are right.

Roktopus has been in the play-ground industry for 15 years and issupplying the bulk of the playequipment.

Mr Handcock says the weatherhas created some difficulties, butprogress is being made towardshaving the site ready for the nextstage, which is for contractors toinstall the soft fall.

It is expected these preparationtasks will be completed within acouple of weeks and once equip-ment starts to be installed progress

will speed up.The Te Awamutu Playground

committee is close to its fundraisingtarget, but still needs more moneyto complete the playground to theoriginal plans.

More fundraising activities areplanned, such as this weekend’sFreemason’s Longest Morning Tea(see Briefly column), but otheroffers of help or donations arewelcomed.

The committee is chaired byBobbie Fladgate and includes BetsyBryant, Community Board chair-man Dean Taylor, Waipa Districtasset manager parks and reservesMax Ward and Waipa District coun-cillor Hazel Barnes.

Great plants for winter gardens

The days are beginning to slowlyget longer, and we can already seeour gardens starting to come to lifewith numerous plants now making aspectacular show.

Attached to this article, you willsee a photo of a floral arrangementthat my wife Val has created fromplants that are in flower or lookinggreat in our garden at the moment.

Chimonanthus Praecox —commonly called winter sweet:Back 20 years ago, this used to beone of those plants that every keengardener found the room for one ofthese plants in their garden, becausethey have the most beautifulfragrance that you could wish for,and they flowered at a time of theyear when not much else washappening in the garden.They aretough, get to about 2.5 metres, butdoes respond well to summer trim-ming and you can keep it at whateverheight you like.You could even use itas a winter flowering hedge at theback of the border.It has pale yellowflowers on mass in july/august over asemi deciduous bush .

Daphne: Yes, the ever popularsweetly fragrant daphne family isanother must for any gardener want-ing to add some beautiful fragranceto their garden.There are quite a fewvarieties in this family of plants, pink— D.Odora Leucanthe and the purewhite — D.Odora Alba are the mostpopular.Daphnes like acid lovingsoils, make sure you feed with a slowrelease acid fertiliser every septem-ber and march to keep them in topcondition. Daphnes are unfortunatelysusceptible to viruses, which over aperiod of time causes your daphneplant to lose vigour and health.Its notsomething you can do much about,but consul yourself to the fact thatevery 8-10 years you will need toreplace your old plant with a newhigh health plant.Daphnes like a little

shade in the hot afternoon if pos-sible, and good drainage. I haveplanted some in our garden as a lowgrowing winter flowering hedge, andat the moment, they are a real delightto walk past, the perfume hits youwell before you get near the plants.

Hellobores — winter rose:These perennials are so easy togrow and so dependable, providing agreat array of colours in the depths ofwinter.They do very well underdeciduous trees, or even at the frontof the perennial border.Over thesummer months they sort of go into astate of semi dormancy, but as soonas the weather starts to get cooler inautumn, they want to come into life.Iadvise my landscape clients at theend of february to cut off all the oldfoliage and feed with a slow releasefertiliser, which causes the plants toquickly produce a new set of healthyclean foliage. Plant breeders aroundthe world are now coming up withsome truly amazing new hybrids inthe hellebore family of plants, andthis will i am sure keep a keeninterest in these plants in the comingyears.Hellebore flowers are verygood for floral arrangements, andlast a good amount of time in water.

Leucadendrons: We can seethem coming into flower, in Waikatogardens at the moment.They areeasy to grow, if you follow a few set ofrules.• They must have very good drain-age, all leucadendrons detest wetfeet, and very quickly will getattacked by phytophora(a soil bornefungous)-if this happens then itscertain death to the plant.You canopen the soil up by mixing somepumice, pea metal, organic compost,etc.• Feed with a slow release fertiliser,which has low phosphate.They donot like your general garden fertiliser,because the nutrient level is not right

for them,• They like a site with good airmovement,• Each year after the flowers havefinished looking at their best, give theplant a reasonable prune, taking offabout 25% of its existing foliage.Thiswill cause it to resprout with somenew foliage, and keep the plant niceand compact. They are shallowrooting, and even though they don’tmind the wind, we don’t want to putunnecessary strain on the root sys-tem, by having a huge amount of topgrowth• They don’t like extremely heavyfrosts, a bit of frostcloth can help ifthe weather turns extremely cold.

We have some leucandendronsin our garden at the moment, andeach plant has about 150 flowers on,a truly great site at this time of year.Inthe photo the yellow leucadendronyou see is called L. Inca Gold- agreat smaller growing variety, withmasses of flowers all winter and theystay on the bush into late spring./early summer.

Aspidistra Shooting Stars —cast iron plant: If you are into floralart, then this is a plant you shoulddefinitely have in your garden. Shoot-ing Stars is relatively new to themarket, but like others in the aspidis-tra family it is extremely tough todrought, low light, and the leaves willlast a very long time in a floralarrangement.We have this plantgrowing very successfully outside inour garden under a lot of otherfoliage, and it looks fantastic with itswhite spotted markings on dark greenfoliage.Also a great plant for patios/indoor plant-especially if you areforgetful about watering, this plant isvery forgiving, and wont turn up itstoes if you forget about it for a while.

A good plant if you want to justadd foliage to the garden without thedrama of flowers.

TC260711CA01

LA LECHE leader Aisling O’Brien with her youngest son Darragh at the venuefor next week’s ‘Latch On’ in Te Awamutu.

Due to increasingnumbers Te AwamutuLa Leche is hosting two‘Latch On’ events forWorld BreastfeedingWeek (August 1-7).

Local La Lecheleader Debbie Grahamsays after an extremelysuccessful event lastyear they decided to ‘gobigger and better’ thisyear.

New La Leche leaderAisling O’Brien andJenny Taylor havejoined forces to organisea ‘Latch On’ atChurchills Cafe, whileLa Leche memberStephanie Gudgeon hasorganised the second atPirongia’s ClydesdaleCafe.

Both events will havea 10am ‘arrive time’next Friday (August 5)so that mums can have afree morning tea beforethey join others aroundthe country trying tobreak the record for themost womenbreastfeeding simul-taneously.

Aisling O’Brienjoined Te Awamutu LaLeche when she waspregnant with her firstchild, Sean.

She knew about LaLeche in Ireland andwas enthusiastic aboutbreastfeeding her chil-dren in New Zealand.

‘‘I have come to real-ise that everyone has adifferent experience.

‘‘My two boys werevery different. My firstwas very much acomfort feeder and washappy to feed to go tosleep or when he wasupset.

‘‘My second son justfeeds when he is hungryand finds other ways tobe comforted.’’

She says helpingwomen find the bestway to breastfeed forthem personally andhow breastfeeding fitsinto their family are justtwo of the concepts sheexplored during theaccreditation process tobecome a La Lecheleader.

‘‘My role is to sup-port women to helpthem have a successfulexperience withbreastfeeding. We alsohave some greatresources, including

books and pamphlets that can providevaluable information.’’

Te Awamutu La Leche Leaguemeets from 10am on the secondWednesday of each month at theKindergarten Rooms, St Andrew’sChurch, Mutu St.

The theme of Breastfeeding Weekthis year is ‘Talk to me: a 3D Com-munication’.

La Leche League New Zealand(LLLNZ) says it’s an opportunity to letbreastfeeding women know abouttheir nationwide mother-to-mothersupport network.

Mothers can connect either face-to-face for help and encouragement, bytelephoning an accredited Leader or

visiting the LLLNZ Facebook page orwebsite (lalecheleague.org.nz).

‘‘Support for mums can make allthe difference to a successfulbreastfeeding relationship,’’ saysspokesperson Lisa Manning.

‘‘La Leche League meetings are achance to ask questions, to learnsomething new, to watch abreastfeeding culture in action.

‘‘La Leche League New Zealand has150 accredited leaders and 55 groupsnationwide.

‘‘Communication is an essentialpart of protecting, promoting andsupporting breastfeeding and eventslike the Big Latch On play an import-ant part in highlighting what we do.’’

Cycling Trustpleased thatpublic decide

The Home of Cycling Trust is delighted thatthe future of the region’s Cycling Centre ofExcellence in now in the hands of the commun-ity.

Waikato Regional Council’s period of publicconsultation, over whether or not to contribute$6M to the project, opened last week.

Central Government, through SPARC, hasalready named the Waikato Bay of PlentyRegion as its preferred location and willcontribute $7M to the facility.

‘‘We anticipate that the feedback will giveCouncillors a clear mandate to support thisinvestment for our community,’’ says Home ofCycling interim chief executive Geoff Balme.

‘‘We’re talking about an average of just over$3 per ratepayer per year for a facility that willgenerate not only significant economic bene-fits but also enormous social and healthbenefits.

‘‘There has been plenty of misinformationin the public realm and we hope this period ofconsultation will give us the opportunity to setthe record straight.

‘‘This is not just a velodrome for elitecyclists — this is a multi-faceted facility thatwill offer programmes for everyone — it reallyis ‘Cycling for All’ and we would hate to losethis once in a lifetime opportunity,’’ says MrBalme.

Should Waikato Regional Council decideagainst supporting the Home of Cycling, theproject would be lost with either PalmerstonNorth or Auckland being given the opportun-ity.

‘‘The fact that seven regions tendered forthis opportunity and that both PalmerstonNorth and Auckland are still waiting in thewings, desperate to have this Centre in theirregions is a clear indication of its value’’, saysMr Balme.

For more information on the Home ofCycling, visit www.homeofcycling.co.nz or tomake a submission to Waikato Regional Coun-cil visit www.waikatoregion.govt.nz. Publicconsultation closes on Monday, August 22.

New biography recounts life of art pioneer

BY CATHY ASPLIN

Fascinating story of Yvonne Rust

Photo from Yvonne Rust biography

TE AWAMUTU District High pupils in 1949 includingYvonne Rust (centre).

Most Te Awamutu residents will have been through theWar Memorial Park and glanced at the large relief panel thatforms a backdrop to the gardens. Many people will have evenbeen photographed there over the years.

But few probably know who it was designed by or thesignificance of the artist.

The panel was created by former Te Awamutu resident, thelate Yvonne Rust QSM who is the subject of a biography justreleased ‘Yvonne Rust - Maverick Spirit’ by Theresa Sjoquist.

Yvonne Rust was an artist, pioneer potter and inspired artseducator who was born in Whangarei, but lived at Parawerafor several years while her father was principal of the‘Parawera Native School’.

She attended Te Awamutu District High School (as it wasknown then, on the Te Awamutu Primary School site) from1937 - 1940.

‘‘From Parawera I biked five miles then caught the schoolbus to High School for the remaining 10 miles.’’

At school she was a champion runner, swimmer and alsoplayed netball. She enjoyed spending time in Te Awamutuwith friends and playing tennis on the courts opposite theschool house.

‘‘On summer weekends we would take the three mile walkdown clay road to the Owairaka Valley to swim in the PuniuRiver or to pick blackberries.’’

The book notes she struggled with academic subjects, butshowed promise with art. Her geography teacher GeorgeWarring encouraged her, she especially enjoyed painting,sketching and craftwork.

It was during her years at Te Awamutu District HighSchool that she became adamant she wanted to be an artist.

FAMILY’S COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENTThe Rust family regularly attended Anglican services in

the district, often at St Johns Church in Te Awamutu, whereYvonne was confirmed.

The book goes on to explain that many Parawerayoungsters had working parents as the depression was justeasing. The Rust family helped out where they could withinthe community providing baking and items from theirgardens for local families.

Yvonne’s father worked hard to get better conditions forchildren. Free milk was introduced to the school in 1937 whenthe roll was up to 87.

In 1939 war broke out and Mr Rust was head of thehomeguard at Parawera. School children under his directionperformed in the Regent Theatre in Te Awamutu for the wareffort.

‘‘The talkie version of the movie Rewi’s Last Stand about

the 1868 battle at Orakau - originally a silent movie in 1925 -was shot in the district in 1940.’’

Yvonne’s mother made costumes for the girls who playedthe roles of the missionary children. The Rusts bought a beachhouse at Kawhia and often stayed there with family andfriends.

START OF TEACHING CAREERIn 1940 Yvonne moved to Christchurch to undertake a

Diploma in Fine Arts at Canterbury University’s School ofArt.

She took up a teaching job in Palmerston North in 1945, butduring school holidays she often returned to Parawera orstayed at Kawhia.

After a refresher course for art teachers in 1949 she‘discovered’ pottery and was hooked.

She became art mistress at Christchurch Girls HighSchool, where interestingly two of her pupils were JulietHulme and Pauline Parker who were convicted of killingParker’s mother in 1954.

MEMORIAL PARK RELIEF PANELIn 1954 Yvonne also won the contract for the design and

creation of a clay model relief panel (pictured below) for theTe Awamutu and Districts War Memorial Park.

The quote was for £84 but Yvonne offered a 50% discount asher personal contribution to the monument.

Fascinating storyof Yvonne RustFrom page 9.

The panel represents ‘the merger of Maori andPakeha ways of life’.

The left side of the panel depicts Maori from thelanding of the Tainui canoe, while the Europeanhistory is on the right. They meet in the centre withan allegorical figure representing the future,supported either side by a Maori and a Pakeha.

Yvonne’s parents eventually retired to Kawhia,but as their health deteriorated they shifted toChristchurch where Yvonne accepted a positionwith an Adult Education Extension programme.

She was to the forefront of the pottery movementduring the 1950’s in Christchurch, then moved toGreymouth in the 1960’s where she continued tocreate pottery and taught at Greymouth HighSchool.

She was the subject of a TVNZ documentary in1970 which promoted her desire to utilise anddevelop New Zealand raw materials.

She moved north in 1971, back to Whangarei,and that year she also received a QE II Arts CouncilFellowship for services to pottery.

She ran summer pottery schools in Parua Bay,staged various exhibitions and visitors streamed toher home at Tahunatapu Point to see her working.

THE QUARRY ARTS CENTREShe also developed ‘The Quarry’ a nursery for

art and craft skills with resident artists, a retailoutlet, art gallery wood fired kiln and workshops.The Quarry is still a hub for the arts in the north.

Her work was sold all over the country,including a craft shop in Te Awamutu.

In later life she painted more, although potterywas still her great love.

In 1999 she moved back to the West Coast,settling at Runanga where the Yvonne Rust WestCoast Arts Trust was formed in 2000/01.

Yvonne was a diabetic and her health deterior-ated during 2001.

In 2002 she broke her hip and was taken tohospital for a partial hip replacement.

But she never full recovered, after contractingan infection following the operation, and died aged79 on June 26, 2002.

Yvonne Rust’s work remains as part of herlegacy - around 1400 paintings which are mostly inprivate collections and thousands of pieces ofpottery, also mainly in private collections.

But Te Awamutu is lucky enough to have it’sown special piece of her work that will be a lastingreminder of the pioneer potter and inspirationalarts educator.

Story of Bible shown on stage

The development of the Bible fromMoses writing the first books to a moderntranslator using a laptop was part of asuccessful drama staged at the North EndChurch recently.

Drama groups from the Anglican,Assembly of God, Bible Chapel, Catholic,Methodist, North End and Presbyterianchurches performed ten scenes.

Each was produced by Anna McCluniefrom the Bible Chapel and mixed humourwith spiritual messages.

Around 150 people came from as faraway as Thames and Matamata to supportthe Bible Society fundraising production.

Local organisers were delighted to

receive an offering of over $2,200.The money will be used to buy 300

suitable modern English bibles for year 5-6students to use during Bible in Schoolslessons in state primary schools, includingsome in Te Awamutu.

This year marks 400 years since theKing James version of the Bible, the mostwidely printed book in the world, was firstprinted in 1611.

Original Bibles (1611 KJV) are now veryrare and worth in excess of $50,000.

The Te Awamutu Bible Society ActionGroup hopes to stage a competition to seewho has the oldest bible in Te Awamutu.Watch the Courier for further details.

Our history...

What did we do before the days of electric blankets andrubber hot water bottles? The problem of cold feethas long been seen as detrimental to good health. In

the late 19th and early 20th century remedies for cold feetwere often discussed in local newspapers of the day. Usuallythe suggested aim was to improve circulation to the feet oneway or another. One article suggested ‘‘Twice a day stand onone foot on a stool and swing the other foot five minutes, thenreverse. Then for two minutes walk on tiptoe around theroom.’’

For those who could afford it there were ceramic footwarmers which were filled with boiling water and placed in thebed or were used when travelling on trains. For those whocould not afford a foot warmer or bed warmer, a brick washeated on the stove. Examples of some early foot warmingartefacts, as well as excerpts from some amusing newspapercolumns can be seen on display at the Museum currently.

Local players scorein two one-daybridge tournaments

Edwards says Clarke’smuscle tone and leannesswas similar from upperbody to lower body.

‘‘No doubt when shesteps on stage at nationalsshe will have improvedsomewhat more.

‘‘In the 35-plus class,Kiriana would be my firstpick for nationals. I lookforward to seeing her onstage again.’’

Clarke is a mother ofthree, Paetyn (10), Anika (8)and Nixon (3).

She joined Bruce’s Fit-ness Centre when her thirdchild was eight weeks old tolose post baby body fat.

Once she had achievedthe objective, her goal thefollowing year was to com-pete.

In October 2010 she

targeted the NZIFBB Wai-kato Bodybuilding Cham-pionships in Hamilton,entering three divisions ondebut.

‘‘I’ve always had apassion for the whole gymscene, starting back when Iinstructed at Te AwamutuHealth & Fitness Centre andbeing a personal trainer atTe Awamutu EventsCentre.’’

Clarke had instant suc-cess as a competitor, win-ning the senior body fitnessover-35 title, placing secondin novice tall body fitness,and third in novice tall bodyfigure.

Heartened by her successat regional level, Clarkeentered two divisions at the2010 nationals in Auckland,placing second in both thesenior body fitness over-35

and novice tall body fitness.The NABBA Waikato

Bodybuilding senior figureover- 35 champion is hopingto go one better whencontesting this event at the2011 NABBA nationals inAuckland in October.

In order to keep in shape,Clarke plans to compete atthe NABBA Bay of Plentyregional championships inWhakatane next month, fol-lowed by the NZIFBB Wai-kato championships inHamilton early October.

Competitors are judgedover three rounds.

First round ‘symmetry’has them on stage in highheels in a straight linefacing the judges.

They execute a series ofquarter turns to the right,allowing the judges to viewand compare them fromfront, left side, back andright side.

The judges are lookingfor femininity, poise, tightlines, skin tone, and smiles.

Clarke says she practicedin the mirror to ensure shefelt and looked confidentwhen on-stage.

In round two ‘compul-sory’ competitors pose,highlighting front doublebiceps, followed by chestpose/triceps, back doublebiceps, abdominal andthigh.

The third roundcomprises a night showwhere each competitorperforms a 60 secondindividual routine.

Clarke says she is grate-ful to her sponsors Brett andSue Cullen, and her familyfor their ongoing support.

BY COLIN THORSEN

Luke Jeffries has his eyes seton gold at this week’s WorldJunior Boxing Championships inAstana, Kazakhstan.

His coach Rod Jeffries hashigh hopes for the 15-year-old,52kg Te Awamutu Sportsglovesman who has fashioned anextraordinary record in his fledg-ling career — including four winsfrom four fights against Austra-lian regional champions.

‘ ‘Luke’s been workingextremely hard in the gym

preparing for this opportunityand is a real medal prospect.

‘‘His build-up for the WorldChamps has been a dream, unde-feated run winning New Zealandtitles for the past two years, alongwith winning Golden Gloves andCentral North Island titles thisyear.’’

Jeffries missed out onclinching a third straight WaikatoChampionship title at Te Awa-mutu Sports Club on Saturday.

‘‘I’m a bit gutted I’ll miss outon the Waikato champs but I can’twait to get over there and prove

myself on the world stage,’’ saidJeffries before departing forKazakhstan.

‘‘I’ve had great support fromthe Cornerstone Trust, and bothTe Awamutu Sports rugby andboxing clubs.

‘‘Without their help, I wouldnot be able to take on this incred-ible journey.’’

Jeffries started boxing at theage of 11 in 2007. He currentlyholds the Te Awamutu Sportsrecord of 14 consecutive title fightwins, having been unbeaten sincewinning his first bout in 2009.

Firehawks primedfor league playoffs

Any Te Awamutu SportsFirehawks complacency has beenwell and truly extinguished goinginto Waikato rugby league’s premierreserve ‘top five’ playoffs.

The top qualifying Firehawksneeded one of their ‘get out of jail’cards to pip bottom-of-the-tableKiokio Hunters 34-32 at Maihihi.

Kiokio led 18-14 at halftime andwere still on equal terms at 32-allwith two minutes to play — only toconcede a penalty out in front of theposts for Richard Ball to convert intomatch-winning points.

Try scorers for the Firehawkswere Charles Campbell, LukeHansen, Orsana Flavell, Clint

Mauriohooho, TaawhirltengakauHowell and Mansell Baker. Four ofthe six tries were converted by Ball.

Malcolm Howell was namedplayer of the day.

The Firehawks finished thesecond round with a 12 win, two lossrecord. As top qualifiers, they havetwo lives in the playoffs and receivedthe bye first up.

They meet Rangariri at ResthillsPark, Hamilton, 1.30pm kickoff, onSaturday.

Otto stable hasnose in front

TC260711CT05

RICHARD OTTO with one of his stable stars Ourforeignminister.

BY PHILLIP QUAY

Richard and Chris Otto look set tobecome Te Awamutu’s leading horsetrainers for the 2010/11 season.

The Ottos currently have 23 winsto their credit for the season whichconcludes on Sunday.

The stable’s most recent winnerwas Whoshe in the Listed GreatNorthern Foal Stakes at Ellerslieearly June.

In addition, the Ottos have had 20seconds and 27 third placegetters todate.

The last northern race meeting isat Te Rapa on Saturday.

Chances of the Ottos extendingtheir tally rest with Whoshe in theRyder Stakes at Otaki on Friday andOurforeignminister at Taumarunuimeeting at Te Rapa on Saturday.

Both are good chances — Whosheis fresh back starting a new cam-paign, while Ourforeignminister ransecond in Te Awamutu Cup last startand will be dropping back a grade.

Graeme and Mark Sanders’ stablehas saddled up 21 winners — thesecond highest total number of winsfor a Te Awamutu stable.

The Sanders’ biggest win of theseason came when classy three-year-old filly Smoulder won the Group 2Cambridge Stud Eight Carat Classic(1600m) at Ellerslie on Boxing Day.

There is little between the twoleading Te Awamutu stables in termsof prize money won by their horses.

The Otto’s stable representativeshave earned $407,790, while theSanders’ stable runners haveamassed $405,790 in stakes.

There is a chance the Sanders maystill get up and pip the Ottos. Theywill have three or four starters atTaumarunui in Innocent Lady,Already Perfect and Te Toro Lass,with Romario another possiblestarter.

The third highest total was postedby the Robert Priscott/ClaytonChipperfield stable with 15 wins andalmost $240,000 in stakes.

Staples, Youngfour-ball champs

Brenda Staples and Sue Young combinedoutstandingly to win the women’s four-ball best-ball competition at Pirongia Golf Club.

The champion pairing won a hotly contestedfinal 3/2 over the runners-up Meredith Pengellyand Shirley Kewish.

Staples and Young enjoyed further success,taking out the scramble, on rabbits, with 76stableford, from K. Sanders and C. Ward on 73, andE. Blackwood and P. MacIntyre 70.

The nine hole scramble went to A. Bailey and J.Dunn with 34 stableford, from D. Riddell and E.Harper on 27.

Bailey won the longest putt competition, whilethe only two was scored by the team of S. Grey andC. Ward.

Eight play way into Waikato Roller Mills trials

CFP

ZEKYL APEREHAMA

BY COLIN THORSEN ANDCATHY ASPLIN

Te Awamutu’sGwynne Shield rugbyteam did themselvesproud making theGwynne Shield rugbyfinal for the second con-secutive year.

Despite being beaten22-7 by Hamilton Waspsin Sunday’s finale to theweek-long tournamentin Cambridge, Te Awa-mutu took out two teamtrophies, along with oneindividual award.

Captain ConnerLoomans accepted twotrophies on his team’sbehalf — the BrianSpraggon MemorialShield, awarded to therunner-up team, as wellas the Rowan/BairdTrophy for the highestplaced country team.

Blindside flankerZekyl Aperehama wasrecipient of the RossSouthcombe Cup forcountry player of thetournament, chosen bythe Waikato Roller Millsselectors.

Further success wentWaipa’s way with Cam-bridge taking out theDon Le Prou Trophy forteam sportsmanship.

It is interesting tonote that eight Te Awa-mutu team membersplayed their way intoWaikato Roller Millstrials with an outstand-ing tournament —Tairoa Crean, Te HauMitchell, ZekylAperehama, Josh

Moorby, Josh Coffin,Conner Loomans, Tyler-Joel Makaea andTamehana Hohepa —compared to only fivewhen winning theShield last year.

Forty-four boys willtrial in town v countryteams over the nextthree consecutiveSundays at Cambridgeto select the Waikatoteam to contest theRoller Mills tournamentin Thames from October9-15.

Te Awamutu deserv-edly made the final, top-ping Pool A andthrashing Morrinsville,the Pool A runners-up,36-0 in the semi-final.

Tries went to Tyler-Joel Makaea (2), ConnerLoomans (2), Josh Cof-

fin and Tiroa Crean,with Josh Moorbyadding threeconversions.

After an outstandingsemi-final, the ChrisGibson/John Moorbyco-coached Te Awamutuside met their nemesis— the well-drilled Ham-ilton Wasps in the final— a side they had lost29-nil to in one of theirearlier crossover games.

Team manager, NigelAtkinson says the gameplan was to shut downthe Wasps’ No. 6 and No.8, who were excellentrunners with the ball.

After a stirring haka,led by ZekylAperehama, Te Awa-mutu got into theirwork immediately byputting the Wasps ontothe back foot with a tryto player of the dayAperehama, convertedby Moorby, to lead 7-0.

Te Awamutu coulddo no wrong with firstfive Moorby kickinginto the corners, keep-ing the oppositionfirmly entrenched intheir own half.

It took the Waspsuntil five minutesbefore halftime to opentheir account with anunconverted try, and TeAwamutu went to thebreak leading 7-5.

Playing into the windin the second spell, TeAwamutu showedadmirable disciplineand composure to stickto their plan of playingthe game in the oppo-

sition half.The pressure told

when the Waspsknocked on five metresfrom their line, giftingTe Awamutu an attack-ing scrum. A fumble bythe opposition halfbacksaw Aperehama pounceon the ball, only to falljust short of the try line.

The game swung inthe balance as play wentfrom one end of the fieldto the other.

The Wasps mounteda backline attack, count-ered by centre KeeganAtkinson intercepting apass and running 50metres only to be cutdown by the coveringdefence.

The Wasps appeareda trifle lucky when thereferee and touch judgesappeared to miss twoknock ons in a backlinemove resulting in a tryin the corner to take a12-7 lead.

Te Awamutu foughthard to get back into thegame but, try as theymight, the score blewout to 22-7 at fulltime.

Atkinson says thecoaching and manage-ment staff would like topay special thanks to theteam sponsors, sup-porters and all theplayers’ parents formaking this a mostenjoyable and once in alife time experience.

In a word: EXTRAORDINARY.It’s quite wonderful. A fascinating

and beautiful family film that reveals the story of two families,

a lion pride and a cheetah mom trying to raise and protect her

incredibly adorable cubs. Kids will love ‘African Cats’, which is full of “aw” moments. Their parents will appreciate this true-life depiction

of the circle of life. This is a film you would eagerly watch again.
