Men’s group makes great stridesBY GRANT JOHNSTON

Te Awamutu men’s supportgroup has only been operating for acouple of months but has madegreat progress already.

The group, instigated by DennisHowell and Paul Maniapoto, meetseach Tuesday from 7pm at KaingaAroha (301 Bank Street). If all themen who have attended the meet-ings showed up on one night therewould be a muster of 15.

Carey, a group attendee, says hehas found it beneficial to ‘get thingsoff his chest’.

‘‘It’s good to tell the group aboutstuff that could be specific to you, orthat others guys have also experi-enced.’’

Carey says it took him a fewmeetings before he felt confident to

talk about some of the things hewanted to talk about.

Another attendee, Darren saystalking about things that concernedhim has been a great help.

‘‘It’s a release to let it out,instead of keeping it bottled up andfeeling full of guilt and hatred.’’

Dennis Howell, a professionalcounsellor, says the group is notabout therapy, but it does bringabout healing.

‘‘It’s about guys listening andgiving each other good advice — notsaying this is the way you’ve got todo it.’’

Paul Maniapoto says groupmembers listen without interrupt-ing.

‘‘It’s a place to be heard. There isno negativity and what’s said in theroom, stays in the room. It’s about

finding ways to move forward.’’Mr Maniapoto says for some

group members, coming forward totalk about their concerns is a hugeleap of faith.

‘‘It requires the belief that peopleout there are willing to help, andlearning to trust people again.’’

Darren says although there aresimilarities between some situa-tions, everyone in the group hasdifferent concerns.

‘‘Guys talk about things thathave happened in their lives andwhat they are doing, to do some-thing about it.’’

Carey says relationships providemuch of the subject matter —‘‘relationships with yourself, yourpartner, kids and other people’’.

‘‘Supposedly, real blokes don’tjust not cry, they don’t get sacred

either.’’Darren says men are not ‘one-

dimensional warriors’.‘‘Not many men are ‘Jake the

Muss’The first night that the group

met a woman showed up.‘‘She just observed for a little

while. The next day she wrote us aletter and congratulated us onstarting up a men’s group and gaveus a few tips,’’ Mr Maniapoto says.

He says there have been manyexpressions of support from thecommunity.

‘‘We’ve been dubbed BOB, for‘Band of Brothers’.’’

The group is ongoing and moremembers are welcome.

Pioneering porcelain paintersBY DEAN TAYLOR

TC150909DT02WAIKATO Porcelain Artists Association life members (from left) Allison Kay, one of the original Arohenaartists, Vivienne Nelson and Margaret Porter amongst the works on display at the 40th birthday celebration.

Almost 50 years ago a group of sixArohena farmers wives decided tolearn to paint China as a hobby.

They had little knowledge aboutthe artform at the time, but had acontact with an artist in Wanganui,and were keen to learn.

They got together weekly,attended lessons when they could bearranged and sent their China toWanganui for firing until they couldafford their own kiln.

Within a few years the six women— Ata Ellery, Margaret Johnstone,Phillipa Keyte-Smith, Allison Kay,Elfie Podivin and Stella Rolph-Smith— were famous in New Zealand.

They had featured in numerouspublications around the country,and were on the telly — featuring inthe 60s magazine show ‘On Camera’hosted by Max Cryer and SoniaKing.

The woman had taken to thefledgling New Zealand artform,experimenting and learning fromeach other in what was then anisolated rural community, but theirwork was being seen all over thecountry.

Meanwhile their teacher, JoanDellow, had risen to become NewZealand president of the ChinaPainting Associations and she per-sonally asked the six friends to helpform a Waikato association.

The meeting to investigateforming a group was held in TeAwamutu’s Country Women’sAssociation Hall in Carlton Street inFebruary 1969.

An encouraging turnout of

women from around the Waikatoresulted in a plan being put in placeto form a new association.

It was agreed that the now experi-enced Arohena group would givelessons over seven months to

aspiring artists, and then in August1969 the new association was formed.

The six women were all elected toform the first committee, alongsideGwen Reese of Hamilton (sister-in-law of then future Te Awamutu

Mayor Bob Vaile).Later Mr Vaile was to host Te

Awamutu’s Centenary, with featuredcommissioned work from the por-celain painters.

SPCA honours dedicated volunteer

TC150909CA01TE AWAMUTU SPCA stalwart Dianne Gray has been awarded an HonoraryLife Membership and long service medal.

BY CATHY ASPLIN

The driving forcebehind Te Awamutu’sSPCA was recognisedrecently when DianneGray was awarded anHonorary Life Member-ship and long servicemedal.

In presenting theaward current presidentAndrew Mansell said‘Dianne has been theheart and soul of the TeAwamutu SPCA formany years, workingwith and for the animals.This recognition is richlydeserved.’’

Mrs Gray has been amember of the localSPCA since it wasrestarted in 1995.

Around two yearsearlier local vet Jane Sin-clair asked a group ofpeople, including severalof her clients who wereinterested in animal wel-fare, to be on the steeringcommittee.

Setting up a localbranch of the SPCAproved to be veryinvolved, however, forthe six volunteers.

There was nopremises, so when thebranch initially began,foster homes andadoptions were organ-ised from Noeline Gaye’shome.

For the volunteers itmeant ferrying cats anddogs to her home eachweek for an open day.

Eventually the TeAwamutu SPCA leased acattery on Pirongia Roadto accommodate thegrowing number ofanimals.

Cats were housed

there, while dogs werekept at the old railwaymuseum.

On Sundays the dogswere transported to thecattery for open days.

A bequeathment leftto the SPCA by a formerworker at Tokanui Hos-pital provided theimpetus to start fundrais-ing for a purpose-builtpremises.

This huge project wasunder the direction ofMrs Gray, who waschairperson at the time,and eventually Te Awa-mutu SPCA built its ownanimal shelter on BruceBerquist Drive.

The CARE (Commun-ity Animal Rehomingand Education) Shelter isone of the largest SPCA’sin the country, housingand rehoming more petsthat many of its citycounterparts. Homes foranimals are foundaround the North Island.

The branch alsopromotes animal wel-fare, education andrehabilitation within thecommunity

Mrs Gray says therehave been some hardtimes for the SPCA overthe years and it is aconstant battle forfunding.

‘‘It’s been a rollercoaster ride really - it canbe a struggle at times toget enough food for theanimals, enough volun-teers to care for them andfunds to keep the CareShelter running.

‘‘We receive no gov-ernment or nationalfunding at all. But thereward at the end of theday is seeing animals

rehoused - enjoying theirnew home and new fam-ily.

‘‘I’ve been closelyinvolved because Ibelieve these animals arethe most importantcreatures on earth - theycertainly deserve morerespect than they getfrom a lot of people. I’veseen some major neglect

and abuse cases over theyears.’’

If you would like tosupport the local SPCAthere are several waysyou can do so.

A garage sale is beingheld this weekend (Sep-tember 19-20) anddonations would bewelcomed (ph 871 5222,leave a message for pick

up).A fundraising quiz

night is being held onNovember 8 and theannual SPCA appeal willbe staged on November13.

Donations of time,funds or pet food arealways welcomed. Con-tact the Care Shelter ifyou can help.

Kindness of Greeks never forgotten

TC150909GJ01ELSIE RUSSELL with a photograph of her late brother, Gordon,shortly before his departure for North Africa with the NewZealand troops.

BY ELSIE RUSSELL

In the autumn of 1974, I met Andrea, my daughter, in Athensand we began a journey to see if my brother’s grave was nearPilos in South West Greece on the Peloponnisos where it edgedthe Ionic and Mediterranean seas.

In 1943 my brother Gordon was on a POW ship, the Nino Bixio,which was travelling from North Africa to Italy, unidentified asP.O.W. ship, the ‘Nino Bixio’, badly shattered limped into Pilos.

The Red Cross believed that Gordon was a POW somewhere inItaly or Europe, and tried hard, but unsuccessfully, to find hiswhereabouts for us.

Our way down to Pilos was by bus, past Corinth and alongordinary roads running down the sides of mountains.

In the huge bus depot at Athens, we had been befriended by aGreek from Melbourne who wads returning to Kalamata to visithis family, so he travelled on the same bus most of the journey,then leaving that bus to travel east to his destination.

While at the bus depot, he had written in Greek four smallrequests for us:

1. Who we were and whence we came.2. The reason for our journey.3. To take us to a speaker of English.4. To find us accommodation.When we finally arrived at Pilos, a sturdy man of the sea

greeted us, ready to help us with our luggage, so I gave him thenote and he led us immediately to a small booth on the wharf’sedge.

Here a small statured, elderly American with rusty Englishtold us all he could and said that in the evening, a man, who musthave been a lad at the time of the disaster, would be down to theharbourside, and the American would make sure that we sawhim.

At that point I wept and i will always remember his saying‘‘Don’t cry, lady’’.

It was his kindness which unmanned me.Then our sailor led us some steep paths to some fairly crude

accommodation and left us.He was such a good man, that I shall never forget him.We set out straight away to see a French speaking Greek

Orthodox priest, who was at his church over the hills.He told us where to find a memorial to the United States air

crew whose plane had been shot down there, just in case othernames had been added to the monolith.

There were none, but any clue was worth following.We roamed among the ruins of battlements on the headlands,

enchanted with the wild flowers of the Mediterranean and theglorious views of Navarino Bay.

Evening was coming when we went back to port to find a mealand while we were eating, our seaman came again to us.

He had in his hands a beautiful bouquet of wild flowers whichhe had gathered and he handed them to me.

Even now, as I write, the tears fill my eyes.The man came, as expected, to the port in the evening and he

was able to tell us, through the old American man, that the bodiesfrom the ‘Nino Bixio’, which had been buried further upNavarino Bay, had been uplifted by the war Graves Commissionand had been buried somewhere else in Greece at a war cemetery,but I knew Gordon was not there.

I wrote to my mother that he was here in one of the mostbeautiful places on earth amongst the kindest people ever. It gaveher peace. And that is where I feel he is, even though it was a lie.

Adult learner award winnerMother of three applies herself to distance learning

TC150909SP5ANN TAPARA, diligent and successful ‘at home’ student.

For Te Awamutu’s AnnTapara, studying towards aBachelor of Applied Sciencemajoring in Psychology paid anunexpected bonus when shewon an Adult Learners’ Week/He Tangata Matauranga Awardfrom the Open Polytechnic lastweek.

Mrs Tapara is one of sixstudents from around thecountry to win the award fromthe distance education special-ist.

She accepted her prize,which included $250 worth ofbook vouchers, in a specialceremony at the Polytechnic’sLower Hutt campus.

Having been nominated bytheir lecturers, the winningstudents were selected on thebasis of meeting severalcriteria — including a passionfor learning, the determinationto succeed at their studies, andamong other things, the abilityto use what they learn toimprove their professional orpersonal life.

Mrs Tapara says she is“stoked” with the award win.At home with three young chil-dren, she is studying by dis-tance so that she will be quali-fied for a career in psychologywhen the children are older.

“I prefer distance studybecause it means I don’t have tofit my life around lecturetimes.”

Textbooks are Mrs Tapara’sconstant companion, oftentaking them to read while shesits in the car waiting for thechildren to finish school for theday.

She was an obvious choicefor the award according tolecturer Nancy Weaver.

“Ann is a top student andone of the most enthusiasticlearners I have encountered atthe Open Polytechnic.

‘‘A joy to teach, she alwayscontributes to onlinediscussions with otherstudents, and will follow up on a

topic to learn more about it.”Mrs Tapara’s husband and

Jeremy’s choice career changeTop reel fed flexographic apprentice in Australasia

TC150909SP6Jeremy Hancock with his Australasian award and finalist certificate, presented byMatt Schneider, apprentice award co-ordinator for the ANZFTA.

BY GRANT JOHNSTON

Former Te Awamutu College studentJeremy Hancock was eyeing a career as awebsite designer, but the need to find a jobsaw him take on a printing apprenticeshipat Convex Plastics and he has not lookedback.

So much so, that he recently triumphedin a trans-Tasman battle for the title ofAustralia-New Zealand Flexographic Tech-nical Association apprentice of the year.

He was up against three Australianapprentices in the final stages of thecompetition, held in Sydney and was thesole New Zealand representative.

‘‘I was stoked to win it. It was a greatexperience just to take part, but winning itwas a real bonus.’’

Jeremy (23) heads to Las Vegas next yearas part of his prize, where he will take partin a four day industry workshop.

He rates the chance to increase hisknowledge as the real reward for his successand willingness to ‘give it a go’.

He will return to Australia next year topresent his findings from the Americanworkshop.

Having completed his three yearflexographic apprenticeship, Jeremy cannow run a reel fed printing press.

In order to round out his education, hehas been moving around differentdepartments at the Convex Plastics factoryin Hamilton, working in conversion (wherefilm work is converted to final products likecarry bags) and in the production office.

He is working towards a Print NZDiploma in Print Management.

Jeremy says the most rewarding jobs hehas worked on have been some of the morechallenging ones.

Printing different pet food bags withpictures of dogs or cats have been among themore difficult assignments.

When you see a Big Ben pie wrapperthere is a chance he has been involved in itsprinting, as well as retail store carry bagsand Pink batts wrapping.

Jeremy says he is indebted to hisemployers for their wholehearted support of

his efforts in the competition, whichincluded sponsoring the trip to Australia.

He was delighted that he was able tobring home the trophy to reward the

support he has enjoyed from Convex Plas-tics.

As for his career choice change — hecertainly has no regrets.

Alternative medicine‘diet’ for Grey Power

Kevin McDonald, gave Grey Power membersmuch food for thought in the field of alternativemedicine at their recent meeting.

The New Plymouth visitor describes himself as a‘health coach’.

Grey Power scribe, Alistair Kerr, says althoughMr McDonald has no formal qualifications inmedicine, he has made an intensive study ofalternative health matters over a 15 year period.

He credits conventional medicine withdiagnosing the problem and prescribing medicationto get rid of the symptoms, but he says that hisapproach is designed to identify the cause of theproblem.

While medication can stop the symptoms, hesays that once you stop it, very often the symptomsreturn.

He sees three main causes of illnesses:1: Poor digestion, 2: Low liver functioning, 3:

Poor kidney functioning.He feels that poor digestion leads to poor

nutrition which in turn leads to other degenerativediseases, since not enough nutrients are available tonurture the body’s functions.

He identifies the liver as a ‘central organ’ with a‘low liver’ leading to an acidic body which, in turncan lead to such ailments as arthritis and eczema, Ahealthy liver ‘detoxes’ the body, whereas a ‘toxic’liver can have a detrimental effect on the emotions(hence the term ‘liverish’ for a grumpy person!)

The kidneys’ role as a filter requires efficientoperation to keep the blood clear. He believes thatpoor kidney performance can result in permanentfatigue, fluid retention, night cramps and feelingcold.

While he was careful to point out that one shouldalways take prescribed medication, he suggestedthat there are many simple, herbal-based solutionswhich can either supplement to improve on suchmedication.

For example, he suggested that an infusion ofparsley (‘parsley tea’), can act as a diuretic andsupply 80% of one’s daily iron needs. An infusion ofsliced root ginger in hot water will help the liver tofunction better.

He is a keen advocate of such health supplementsas flax oil, Omega3 oil, cod liver oil and rose hip oil.He says that, as far as he knows, there is nomedication for which any of his herbal remedies iscontra-indicated.

Mr McDonald has firm views on the microwaveoven, saying that the process of heating the food byradiation, ‘takes the life out of it’.

Supermarket survey shows savingsPak’nSave is once again the

country’s cheapest supermar-ket and in the North Island wellahead of it nearest competitors,Consumer NZ says.

This is the 10th year in a rowthat Pak’nSave has come outcheapest, Consumer NZ surveysupervisor, Bev Frederiksonsays.

‘‘Shopping there savedaround $20 and sometimesmore than shopping in thedearest supermarket in eachcity,’’ she says.

‘‘Our undercover surveyorsbought from a list of 40 top-selling products includingbread, biscuits, milk, fizzy

drinks, snacks, cheese, cat foodand butter.’’

Pak’nSave Albany in Auck-land was the cheapest at $115.The most expensive in Auck-land was the GlenfieldFoodtown at $140.

Pak’nSave is a no-frillssupermarket — costs are keptdown by keeping the storesplain and requiring customersto pack their own groceries.

However, they do not carryas wide a range of brands orpack sizes as othersupermarkets.

In the South Island NewWorld was a clear second toPak’nSave. Woolworths had the

highest prices of the nationwidechains.

Ms Frederikson says Con-sumer compared the prices ofitems of identical brand andpack size within cities.

In the same region priceswere similar. For example, Tau-ranga prices were often thesame as those in Auckland.

The Progressive chains,Woolworths, Countdown andFoodtown, were the most con-sistent — baked beans in allCountdown stores cost $1.85while in all Woolworths andFoodtown stores baked beanssold for $1.95. Owners ofFoodstuffs stores have some

The tennis club is also excited tobe hosting a twilight competition and,judging by the response from theautumn twilight, this event is alsolikely to be hard to get into.

Tennis co-ordinator, Isabelle Caiewas thrilled with the turnout beforethe winter blues set in and, withtennis running on the public’s fav-oured Thursday night, she expectsthe courts to be ‘alive with people’.

Te Oti Kaihe will once again run abusiness house squash competitionon Wednesday nights — five playersper team and is looking for one moreteam to complete his roster.

Twilight bowls will run onThursday nights. Bowling club mem-bers are considering an expansion totwo nights if the high demand ofprevious years continues.

Friday nights sees touch andvolleyball at the complex.

Competition co-ordinator, RossDenize is stunned by the interestonce again for this year’s events.

Rugby is still going and he hashad approaches from three newtouch teams and two new volleyballteams — this after the club ran a fulltouch competition last year and put ina new volleyball court last summer.

Denize is hoping there is sufficientinterest to host junior touch on

Fridays also.’’Cricket co-ordinator, Andrew

Parsons instigated Pirongia havingtwo cricket teams last season andsays with numbers coming throughalready, prospects look good for twoteams again this season.

Complex president, Layne Kerrsays he is delighted to see the venuecontinuing to grow and expand. Heinvites all community members tocome down and participate, to enjoythe camaraderie of the nights or to‘‘just be nosy and see what a greatfacility is available to our community.’’

This season Kihikihi Polo areencouraging an ‘open door’ policy toanyone who has the desire to GivePolo a Go.

McCormick monsters NZSS cycling fieldNational U16 road champion well and truly lays ‘mystery’ illness to rest

TC150909CT02FIT AGAIN Hayden McCormick with his three medals after triumphing in the under-16 boys’ nationalsecondary schools’ road cycling championships.

BY COLIN THORSEN

Hayden McCormick erased mem-ories of a potential career threaten-ing bout of chronic fatigue syndromewinning the New Zealand SecondarySchools’ under-16 road cycling cham-pionships.

The 15-year-old Te AwamutuSports Cycling Club rider was backto the sensational form that madehim one of the hottest youngprospects in the sport before beingstruck down with the ‘mystery’ ill-ness in May last year.

Riding for St John’s College,McCormick was clearly the standoutperformance in Auckland.

He blitzed the field of 70 in theindividual 4km time trial, held inwindy conditions along the water-front in Panmure, winning in 5m 57s— three seconds clear of secondplaced Hardy Michel (Kristin School,Auckland), with a further secondback to third placed MathewZenovich (Okaihu College, Bay ofIslands).

McCormick was even more ruth-less in the second stage hill climb,covering the gut-busting 800mstraight up Mt Wellington in 1m 51s.

It was a phenomenal effort,especially to upstage theAucklanders who train regularly onthe hill.

The best of the Aucklanders,second placed Jonathan Laycock(Sacred Heart College), was a whop-ping five seconds off the rapid paceset by the Te Awamutu teenager.

Auckland Grammar’s Jamie Marrwas third in 1m 58s, sevens secondsadrift of McCormick.

The flying McCormick lookedheaded for a clean-sweep of all threestages when dominating the finalstage criterium raced in an indus-trial zone in East Tamaki. The coursewas 1.5km and riders competed over10 laps with sprint points for first,

second and third on every lap.McCormick scored points on

seven of the 10 laps and was thehighest points achiever for his race,despite the fact his competitorsworked together to block him outwherever possible.

He finished a creditable sixth onthe final lap, despite being totallyboxed in.

Although he finished out of thecriterium medals, McCormick endedup winning the overall under-16championship by 20 points.

It was a remarkable turnaroundof fortune for a rider tipped byBikeNZ selector Graham Hunn ashaving ‘huge potential’ afteremphatically winning the boys’under-15 Kiwivelo Te Awamutu Jun-

ior Cycle Tour last year.A fortnight after the Junior Tour,

in May 2008, the mystery illness hithim.

His mother, Debbie, recalls herson struggling to even walk up thestairs at school.

‘‘I phoned his English teacher oneday to ask how he was coping. Shesaid that he probably shouldn’t even

be at school.‘‘The teacher pulled him out of

class and asked what was wrong —he was pretty sick.

‘‘When we got him home he didnothing but sleep for two days.’’

It was not until Christmas thatNew Zealand’s most talented cyclistin his age group felt well enough toattempt a ‘baby’ 5km ride.

‘‘Hayden, being Hayden, he hadbecome very impatient during hisrecovery period and attempted vari-ous workouts but each time it wouldset him back,’’ says the proud mum.

‘‘Once he did come right though,it didn’t take him long to bounceback.’’

McCormick is coached by formerworld class pro rider Dave Mann.

Several other riders from Te Awa-mutu riders also featured promin-ently at the nationals. The depth ofcycling talent here is reflected in thefollowing outstanding results.

Scott Creighton (Hamilton BHS)was fourth overall U17 boys, withsixth placing in the individual 8kmtime trial, second in the hill climb —only a second off first place in 1m 37s— and sixth in the criterium.

Brittany Thompson (WaikatoDiocesan) was fourth overall U17girls, placing fourth in the individualtime trial, fifth in hill climb and thirdin criterium.

Lana Morrison (WaikatoDiocesan) finished second in the U17girls’ individual time trial, and herschoolmate Abbie Smith was 10thoverall in the same age group.

Shaun Fleck (Hamilton BHS)placed 25th and 36th respectively inU17 boys’ individual time trial andhill climb, 14th in Group B criteriumand fourth overall in Group B out of25 riders.

Thomas McLaughlin (HamiltonBHS) was 14th overall U16 boys andRobyn Hacker-Cary fourth overallU15 girls.

Mooloo ole, ole, ole

TC150909SP21PUAHUE School showed their support of the Waikato rugby team (currently sitting in the bottom halfof the Air New Zealand Cup competition) big time on mufti day.

Puahue School resembled a seaof red, yellow and black on Mooloomufti day.

The day was all about celebrat-ing being proud of the Waikatorugby team, the colours associatedwith supporting the team and gen-eral loyalty to ‘our’ team.

The children got right into thespirit, dressing up with a lot ofenthusiasm and creativity.

The Mooloo song filled theairwaves and much fun and friv-olity was had by all.

Several guests attended thewhole school assembly, includingWaikato coach Chris Gibbes andhis wife Lanah (a teacher atPuahue), Waikato players KieranRamage (Te Awamutu Sports) and

Jackson Willison, and team mascotMooloo.

Puahue School entertainedtheir guests with a song ‘Aotearoa’,speeches from two senior children,prizes for best dressed and arousing rendition of the Mooloosong.

Chris Gibbes told the schoolhow impressed he was with theirspirit and the fantastic receptionthey put on for their guests.

He praised the children for thecostumes, especially those that hadused some ingenuity — BradColdrick’s homemade Mooloostriped gumboots got a specialmention. He then introducedMooloo to the children.

Kieran Ramage spoke to the

school about how important andspecial it was being part of a smallcountry school. ‘‘I went to a smallcountry school like Puahue and I’msure you, too, will have life longfriends from this experience.’’

Jackson Willison gave the chil-dren an insight into what he hasbeen doing since he was injuredand how he plans to be back on theroad to recovery.

All four guests signed theschool’s Waikato Mooloo board andthe children were given opportun-ities to get autographs and memor-abilia.

The school wished the teamgood luck for the remainder of theseason and thanked them forcoming.
