Tainui’s great taonga Uenuku will soon 

leave the Waipa for Wellington’s Te Papa to 

Two Te Awamutu stores take centre place in the exhibition Tai timu, 

sold second division winning 

Lotto tickets this week — each 

one worth $18,189. 

The tickets were sold at 

Paper Plus and Toyworld and 

Fresh Choice Supermarket. 

NZ Lotteries’ chief executive 

Todd McLeay advises anyone 

who bought their ticket from 

any of these winning stores 

should write their name on the 

back of the ticket and check it 

immediately at any Lotto outlet.

away for two-and-a-half years. 

Uenuku is the taonga that inspired so many 

people during the Te Maori Exhibition which 

toured America in 1984. 

A highly treasured taonga of the Tainui 

people, Uenuku is said to be one of the 

traditional gods or spirits of Maori, and 

manifests as a rainbow. 

‘‘We urge anyone who hasn’t yet visited 

Uenuku to come and see him before he leaves 

at the beginning of August,’’ says Stephanie 

Lambert, senior curator at the Te Awamutu 

Museum where Uenuku is customarily 

housed. 

Many people have been working busily 

behind the scenes for more than six months to 

make Uenuku’s journey to Te Papa possible.

Local people are invited to 

attend the event at 10am on 

Saturday at the Lodge Rooms 

on the corner of Albert Park 

Drive and Sloane Street. 

The fundraiser is in support 

of the new Te Awamutu 

Playground, which is under 

construction beside the Te 

Awamutu Events Centre. 

As well as a scrumptious 

morning tea there will also be a 

cooking demonstration and a

Tuheitia, Waipa District Council and Te Papa. 

‘‘Members of Te Awamutu Trust Board 

were in two minds over the request to send 

Uenuku to Wellington,’’ says Museum Trust 

Board chairman Dean Taylor. 

‘‘On one hand he is the pride and joy of our 

collection. On the other, the chance to share 

this magnificent taonga with a wider audience 

was hard to turn down,’’ says Mr Taylor. 

‘‘ It gave us an opportunity to strengthen 

our relationships with Tainui and the wider 

museum community. Uenuku’s absence also 

provides us with a challenge to share his 

stories with our museum audiences in new 

ways’’.

Plunket Playgroup appreciates

Te Awamutu Plunket Playgroup 

held another sausage sizzle and baking 

fundraiser, on Saturday, July 16. 

On behalf of the Plunket Playgroup, 

there are a few people we wish to 

thank. 

Te Awamutu’s small town businesses 

are big on their generosity and 

we would not be able to function 

without their ongoing support. 

Thanks to BNZ, Te Awamutu for 

once again allowing us to use the front 

of your building, for being our sponsor, 

and also for helping us with other 

fundraising, Pack‘N Save for ongoing 

support, Countdown and Magills 

Meats for giving donations of food. 

All of the following businesses 

gave either a donation or a voucher 

for our voucher raffle, which will 

probably be drawn on August 18: Bees

Cambridge. 

I have contacted the 0800 number 

for more information and can tell you

I would also like to thank our 

special little helper, Mia, for all her 

hard work and again to Allie, Verity, 

Sharn, D.J, Gabbie and all those

get this off the ground. 

We also would like to announce 

the winner of the Tupperware raffle

Our next fundraising event will be 

held tomorrow at The Warehouse 

from 11am-3pm. We will have baking

heatpump which we desperately 

need. 

So one final thank you very much 

to all those who support us, for you 

are supporting your future when you 

support our children.

Double standards 

over water supply 

J. Cotterel’s July 21st letter has prompted me to 

write regarding out town water supply. 

For many years there has been an ongoing 

seepage of water from the first water tank on the 

left going up Greenhill Drive. 

Also, for many years there is treated water, 

piped from this tank, running into a culvert at the 

rate of about 10 litres a minute, 24 hours a day, 

seven days a week for 52 weeks of the year. Would 

someone from Council please tell us how many 

leaking household taps this waste of water equates 

to? 

Because of the summer water restrictions 

Council imposes on ratepayers, and because of the 

number of years this wastage has been occurring, 

could it be said that Council has double standards? 

I understand that in recent times an endeavour 

was made to rectify the seepage from the tank but 

without success. Alas! Waste of time, energy and 

money. 

Also, it is my understanding that some of the 

water supply pipes etc are the originals from many 

years ago which makes our water infrastructure 

somewhat fragile. Should a disaster occur, requiring 

repair work of more than three days our town 

would have no water supply. 

Perhaps more of us need to be aware that water 

is essential for all forms of life to live and that clean 

water is necessary for hygiene, health and recreation; 

and that each drop of water is precious that 

fills a tank. 

Should an efficiently functioning and well 

maintained infrastructure that meets the needs of 

a community and allows for its growth and 

development be a priority?

Sleepy driver air lifted 

The driver of a car which rolled near Pirongia 

Golf Course last week was flown to Waikato Hospital 

by the Westpac Waikato Air Ambulance. 

The 54-year-old female driver had apparently 

fallen asleep, left the road and rolled into a ditch. 

The woman was trapped in the vehicle for 

approximately one hour. Her partner was also 

injured and was taken to Waikato Hospital by St 

John Ambulance.

Golden service rewarded 

Firefighter’s wife also honoured 

TC260711SP03 

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

and Abby. 

Te Awamutu Fire Brigade’s 

Gold Star Award Evening, to 

celebrate and honour 25 years of 

service by Grant Mitchell, was a 

real family affair. 

Making the award was Don 

Hallett, a former Te Awamutu 

Chief Fire Officer and past president 

of the United Fire Brigades 

Association (UFBA). He is also Mr 

Mitchell’s uncle. 

Seated at the front of the hall 

was Mr Mitchell, his wife Lisa and 

daughters Aimee and Abby. They 

had been piped in through the 

largest guard of honour in memory. 

Mr Hallett said joining a volunteer 

fire brigade is a huge 

commitment of time and effort, 

with weekly training nights, 

special training on some 

weekends and a 24 day cover to 

answer fire and emergency calls 

in the area. 

‘‘This requires a special person 

to do this for 25 years, and 

Grant is one of those people,’’ he 

said. 

‘‘It is a fact that the fire service 

could not operate as it does today 

without its volunteers. 

‘‘The UFBA Gold Star is the 

most coveted award in the service. 

Only 6% of people who join 

the service carry on to receive it. 

‘‘This gold star tonight is the 

34th that has been issued to a 

member of the Te Awamutu Brigade 

in its 98 year history and 

number 6767 issued by the UFBA 

in its 133 year history. 

Before making the presentation, 

Mr Hallett recognised the 

part that spouses and partners 

play in supporting the firefighters 

in their role. 

Uenuku departing Museum 

From page 1. 

Before moving to Te 

Awamutu Museum, 

senior curator Ms Lambert 

worked as loans 

officer at Te Papa — 

part of the team bringing 

taonga and objects 

into Te Papa for their 

exhibitions. 

‘‘I didn’t anticipate 

the chance to use that 

knowledge again on a 

project as close to my 

heart as this’’. 

The last day to visit 

Uenuku at Te Awamutu 

Museum is Monday, 

August 1. 

During August a 

refurbished exhibition, 

including an Uenuku 

interpretive zone with 

video stories about the 

taonga, will be 

installed. This will open 

to the public on Saturday, 

August 27 at 10am. 

He said without that support it 

would be hard to run a volunteer 

brigade — and pointed out that 

Lisa Mitchell had performed in 

her support role to the highest 

level. 

Mrs Mitchell, along with other 

achievements, received the award 

for outstanding contribution from 

the Brigade members partner for 

three three years running from 

2008. 

In recognition of her contribution, 

Mrs Mitchell was given a 

unique honour — a certificate of 

appreciation from the UFBA. 

Mr hallett also recognised 

employers of volunteer firefighters 

and the self-employed members 

of the brigade, who without 

their input, it would be very hard 

for them to maintain their cover 

for workday fire calls. 

Mr Mitchell joined the Te 

Awamutu Brigade in April, 1986. 

He says his uncle Don told him to. 

In the following years he 

became involved in all areas of 

the Brigade, living in the Station 

for nine years and competing with 

the Te Awamutu team for six 

years. He also ran in a team that 

competed in Australia in 1992 and 

1996. 

Mr Mitchell served on the 

Central North Island Sub Association 

as president and is now a life 

member. 

He assisted with training of 

brigade members and ran the 

high angle rescue team for nine 

years. 

Another role was as casual 

trainer teaching volunteers for 

the Bay/Waikato area for 14 

years. 

He worked in the Hamilton 

control room for 10 months in 1998 

and after the control room closed 

he spent six years at Hamilton 

Airport Rescue Fire as a station 

officer and training officer, 

achieving his National Certificate 

in Airport Level 3 and passed his 

firefighter D1 exams. 

At the same time he remained 

a member of the Te Awamutu 

Brigade. 

In October, 2008 he attended a 

station officers course at Whyte 

Island, Brisbane, achieving the 

position of Senior Station Officer. 

Mr Mitchell has since been 

employed by the Fire Service as a 

Volunteer Support Officer and 

regretfully tendered his resignation 

as a volunteer firefighter — 

although he is still fully involved 

with assisting over 300 volunteers 

at 14 stations on a professional 

basis. 

In his spare time over the past 

quarter century, Mr Mitchell also 

served as a territorial soldier in 

the New Zealand Army for 17 

years and he was a St John 

Volunteer. 

During his 25 years with Te 

Awamutu Fire Brigade, Mr 

Mitchell was present 1434 times — 

a 93% turnout, which is a great 

record. 

Mr Mitchell said it had been a 

pleasure to serve his community 

in this way — and also honoured 

his other family members who are 

volunteer firefighters. 

He pointed out that between 

himself, uncles Don and Frank 

Hallett, cousin Peter Hallett and 

uncle Russell Percy (Te Puke) 

there were four Gold Star holders 

and nearly 130 years volunteer 

service.

Te Awamutu Playground shaping up 

Te Awamutu’s new playground 

is inching closer to completion as 

Roktopus prepare the site for the 

installation of the new equipment. 

Managing director Theo Jaques 

and operations manager Alex 

Handcock have been on site installing 

safety surfacing around the 

bases of the equipment and ensuring 

all the levels are right. 

Roktopus has been in the playground 

industry for 15 years and is 

supplying the bulk of the play 

equipment. 

Mr Handcock says the weather 

has created some difficulties, but 

progress is being made towards 

having the site ready for the next 

stage, which is for contractors to 

install the soft fall. 

It is expected these preparation 

tasks will be completed within a 

couple of weeks and once equipment 

starts to be installed progress 

Regional Council wants your views on velodrome 

Public consultation on a

Regional Council

proposal detailing the costs 

and benefits of the proposed 

velodrome and the rating 

options. 

Chairman Peter Buckley 

said the council had vigorously

The Te Awamutu Playground 

committee is close to its fundraising 

target, but still needs more money 

to complete the playground to the 

original plans. 

More fundraising activities are 

planned, such as this weekend’s 

Freemason’s Longest Morning Tea 

(see Briefly column), but other 

offers of help or donations are 

welcomed. 

The committee is chaired by 

Bobbie Fladgate and includes Betsy

process and done all that is 

required of us legally — it’s 

now up to the public to tell us 

their views on the proposal,’’ 

he said. 

The council wants to 

know whether people support 

a $6 million grant 

toward the $28.5 million dollar 

velodrome, and their preferred 

rating option. 

Funding would come from 

internal borrowing from the 

investment fund and repaid 

by ratepayers over a 20-year 

period. The loan will be 

charged 5.65% interest 

reviewed every three years 

as part of the Long Term 

Plan, resulting in an annual 

rating requirement of 

$601,109. 

The council is seeking 

feedback on two ratepayer 

funding options to repay the 

loan. 

The first option is a 

region-wide flat rate of $3.18 

which spreads the cost 

evenly across the region 

The second is a two-tier 

funding system which recognises 

the localised benefit of 

the proposed facility. This 

would see properties in Waipa, 

Hamilton, Tamahere and

which amounts to

The regional council will also 

be asking the region’s territorial 

authorities to submit 

on the statement of proposal 

stating their formal position 

on whether the regional 

council should apply a 

regional rate to fund the $6 

million. Councils will be 

asked to identify their preferred

including a new funding policy 

and updating the treasury

grant. 

Cr Buckley said the council 

had carefully considered 

the issues before deciding

Great plants for winter gardens 

The days are beginning to slowly 

get longer, and we can already see 

our gardens starting to come to life 

with numerous plants now making a 

spectacular show. 

Attached to this article, you will 

see a photo of a floral arrangement 

that my wife Val has created from 

plants that are in flower or looking 

great in our garden at the moment. 

Chimonanthus Praecox — 

commonly called winter sweet: 

Back 20 years ago, this used to be 

one of those plants that every keen 

gardener found the room for one of 

these plants in their garden, because 

they have the most beautiful 

fragrance that you could wish for, 

and they flowered at a time of the 

year when not much else was 

happening in the garden.They are 

tough, get to about 2.5 metres, but 

does respond well to summer trimming 

and you can keep it at whatever 

height you like.You could even use it 

as a winter flowering hedge at the 

back of the border.It has pale yellow 

flowers on mass in july/august over a 

semi deciduous bush . 

Daphne: Yes, the ever popular 

sweetly fragrant daphne family is 

another must for any gardener wanting 

to add some beautiful fragrance 

to their garden.There are quite a few 

varieties in this family of plants, pink 

— D.Odora Leucanthe and the pure 

white — D.Odora Alba are the most 

popular.Daphnes like acid loving 

soils, make sure you feed with a slow 

release acid fertiliser every september 

and march to keep them in top 

condition. Daphnes are unfortunately 

susceptible to viruses, which over a 

period of time causes your daphne 

plant to lose vigour and health.Its not 

something you can do much about, 

but consul yourself to the fact that 

every 8-10 years you will need to 

replace your old plant with a new 

high health plant.Daphnes like a little 

shade in the hot afternoon if possible, 

and good drainage. I have 

planted some in our garden as a low 

growing winter flowering hedge, and 

at the moment, they are a real delight 

to walk past, the perfume hits you 

well before you get near the plants. 

Hellobores — winter rose: 

These perennials are so easy to 

grow and so dependable, providing a 

great array of colours in the depths of 

winter.They do very well under 

deciduous trees, or even at the front 

of the perennial border.Over the 

summer months they sort of go into a 

state of semi dormancy, but as soon 

as the weather starts to get cooler in 

autumn, they want to come into life.I 

advise my landscape clients at the 

end of february to cut off all the old 

foliage and feed with a slow release 

fertiliser, which causes the plants to 

quickly produce a new set of healthy 

clean foliage. Plant breeders around 

the world are now coming up with 

some truly amazing new hybrids in 

the hellebore family of plants, and 

this will i am sure keep a keen 

interest in these plants in the coming 

years.Hellebore flowers are very 

good for floral arrangements, and 

last a good amount of time in water. 

Leucadendrons: We can see 

them coming into flower, in Waikato 

gardens at the moment.They are 

easy to grow, if you follow a few set of 

rules. 

• They must have very good drainage, 

all leucadendrons detest wet 

feet, and very quickly will get 

attacked by phytophora(a soil borne 

fungous)-if this happens then its 

certain death to the plant.You can 

open the soil up by mixing some 

pumice, pea metal, organic compost, 

etc. 

• Feed with a slow release fertiliser, 

which has low phosphate.They do 

not like your general garden fertiliser, 

because the nutrient level is not right 

8240921AA 

for them, 

• They like a site with good air 

movement, 

• Each year after the flowers have 

finished looking at their best, give the 

plant a reasonable prune, taking off 

about 25% of its existing foliage.This 

will cause it to resprout with some 

new foliage, and keep the plant nice 

and compact. They are shallow 

rooting, and even though they don’t 

mind the wind, we don’t want to put 

unnecessary strain on the root system, 

by having a huge amount of top 

growth 

• They don’t like extremely heavy 

frosts, a bit of frostcloth can help if 

the weather turns extremely cold. 

We have some leucandendrons 

in our garden at the moment, and 

each plant has about 150 flowers on, 

a truly great site at this time of year.In 

the photo the yellow leucadendron 

you see is called L. Inca Gold- a 

great smaller growing variety, with 

masses of flowers all winter and they 

stay on the bush into late spring./ 

early summer. 

Aspidistra Shooting Stars — 

cast iron plant: If you are into floral 

art, then this is a plant you should 

definitely have in your garden. Shooting 

Stars is relatively new to the 

market, but like others in the aspidistra 

family it is extremely tough to 

drought, low light, and the leaves will 

last a very long time in a floral 

arrangement.We have this plant 

growing very successfully outside in 

our garden under a lot of other 

foliage, and it looks fantastic with its 

white spotted markings on dark green 

foliage.Also a great plant for patios/ 

indoor plant-especially if you are 

forgetful about watering, this plant is 

very forgiving, and wont turn up its 

toes if you forget about it for a while. 

A good plant if you want to just 

add foliage to the garden without the 

drama of flowers. 

We do the 

groundwork

mothers invited 

to join ‘latch on’ event 

BY CATHY ASPLIN 

Due to increasing 

numbers Te Awamutu 

La Leche is hosting two 

‘Latch On’ events for 

World Breastfeeding 

Week (August 1-7). 

Local La Leche 

leader Debbie Graham 

says after an extremely 

successful event last 

year they decided to ‘go 

bigger and better’ this 

year. 

New La Leche leader 

Aisling O’Brien and 

Jenny Taylor have 

joined forces to organise 

a ‘Latch On’ at 

Churchills Cafe, while 

La Leche member 

Stephanie Gudgeon has 

organised the second at 

Pirongia’s Clydesdale 

Cafe. 

Both events will have 

a 10am ‘arrive time’ 

next Friday (August 5) 

so that mums can have a 

free morning tea before 

they join others around 

the country trying to 

break the record for the 

most women 

breastfeeding simultaneously. 

Aisling O’Brien 

joined Te Awamutu La 

Leche when she was 

pregnant with her first 

child, Seán. 

She knew about La 

Leche in Ireland and 

was enthusiastic about 

breastfeeding her children 

in New Zealand. 

‘‘I have come to realise 

that everyone has a 

different experience. 

‘‘My two boys were 

very different. My first 

was very much a 

comfort feeder and was 

happy to feed to go to 

sleep or when he was 

upset. 

‘‘My second son just 

feeds when he is hungry 

and finds other ways to 

be comforted.’’ 

She says helping 

women find the best 

way to breastfeed for 

them personally and 

how breastfeeding fits 

into their family are just 

two of the concepts she 

explored during the 

accreditation process to 

become a La Leche 

leader. 

‘‘My role is to support 

women to help 

them have a successful 

experience with 

breastfeeding. We also 

have some great 

resources, including

books and pamphlets that can provide 

valuable information.’’ 

Te Awamutu La Leche League 

meets from 10am on the second 

Wednesday of each month at the 

Kindergarten Rooms, St Andrew’s 

Church, Mutu St. 

The theme of Breastfeeding Week 

this year is ‘Talk to me: a 3D Communication’. 

La Leche League New Zealand 

(LLLNZ) says it’s an opportunity to let 

breastfeeding women know about 

their nationwide mother-to-mother 

support network. 

Mothers can connect either face-toface 

for help and encouragement, by 

telephoning an accredited Leader or 

visiting the LLLNZ Facebook page or 

website (lalecheleague.org.nz). 

‘‘Support for mums can make all 

the difference to a successful 

breastfeeding relationship,’’ says 

spokesperson Lisa Manning. 

‘‘La Leche League meetings are a 

chance to ask questions, to learn 

something new, to watch a 

breastfeeding culture in action. 

‘‘La Leche League New Zealand has 

150 accredited leaders and 55 groups 

nationwide. 

‘‘Communication is an essential 

part of protecting, promoting and 

supporting breastfeeding and events 

like the Big Latch On play an important 

part in highlighting what we do.’’

Cycling Trust 

pleased that 

public decide 

The Home of Cycling Trust is delighted that 

the future of the region’s Cycling Centre of 

Excellence in now in the hands of the community. 

Waikato Regional Council’s period of public 

consultation, over whether or not to contribute 

$6M to the project, opened last week. 

Central Government, through SPARC, has 

already named the Waikato Bay of Plenty 

Region as its preferred location and will 

contribute $7M to the facility. 

‘‘We anticipate that the feedback will give 

Councillors a clear mandate to support this 

investment for our community,’’ says Home of 

Cycling interim chief executive Geoff Balme. 

‘‘We’re talking about an average of just over 

$3 per ratepayer per year for a facility that will 

generate not only significant economic benefits 

but also enormous social and health 

benefits. 

‘‘There has been plenty of misinformation 

in the public realm and we hope this period of 

consultation will give us the opportunity to set 

the record straight. 

‘‘This is not just a velodrome for elite 

cyclists — this is a multi-faceted facility that 

will offer programmes for everyone — it really 

is ‘Cycling for All’ and we would hate to lose 

this once in a lifetime opportunity,’’ says Mr 

Balme. 

Should Waikato Regional Council decide 

against supporting the Home of Cycling, the 

project would be lost with either Palmerston 

North or Auckland being given the opportunity. 

‘‘The fact that seven regions tendered for 

this opportunity and that both Palmerston 

North and Auckland are still waiting in the 

wings, desperate to have this Centre in their 

regions is a clear indication of its value’’, says 

Mr Balme. 

For more information on the Home of 

Cycling, visit www.homeofcycling.co.nz or to 

make a submission to Waikato Regional Council 

visit www.waikatoregion.govt.nz. Public 

consultation closes on Monday, August 22.

New biography recounts life of art pioneer 

Fascinating story of Yvonne Rust 

BY CATHY ASPLIN 

Most Te Awamutu residents will have been through the 

War Memorial Park and glanced at the large relief panel that 

forms a backdrop to the gardens. Many people will have even 

been photographed there over the years. 

But few probably know who it was designed by or the 

significance of the artist. 

The panel was created by former Te Awamutu resident, the 

late Yvonne Rust QSM who is the subject of a biography just 

released ‘Yvonne Rust - Maverick Spirit’ by Theresa Sjoquist. 

Yvonne Rust was an artist, pioneer potter and inspired arts 

educator who was born in Whangarei, but lived at Parawera 

for several years while her father was principal of the 

‘Parawera Native School’. 

She attended Te Awamutu District High School (as it was 

known then, on the Te Awamutu Primary School site) from 

1937 - 1940. 

‘‘From Parawera I biked five miles then caught the school 

bus to High School for the remaining 10 miles.’’ 

At school she was a champion runner, swimmer and also 

played netball. She enjoyed spending time in Te Awamutu 

with friends and playing tennis on the courts opposite the 

school house. 

‘‘On summer weekends we would take the three mile walk 

down clay road to the Owairaka Valley to swim in the Puniu 

River or to pick blackberries.’’ 

The book notes she struggled with academic subjects, but 

showed promise with art. Her geography teacher George 

Warring encouraged her, she especially enjoyed painting, 

sketching and craftwork. 

It was during her years at Te Awamutu District High 

School that she became adamant she wanted to be an artist. 

FAMILY’S COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT 

The Rust family regularly attended Anglican services in 

the district, often at St Johns Church in Te Awamutu, where 

Yvonne was confirmed. 

The book goes on to explain that many Parawera 

youngsters had working parents as the depression was just 

easing. The Rust family helped out where they could within 

the community providing baking and items from their 

gardens for local families. 

Yvonne’s father worked hard to get better conditions for 

children. Free milk was introduced to the school in 1937 when 

the roll was up to 87. 

In 1939 war broke out and Mr Rust was head of the 

homeguard at Parawera. School children under his direction 

performed in the Regent Theatre in Te Awamutu for the war 

effort.

was shot in the district in 1940.’’ 

Yvonne’s mother made costumes for the girls who played 

the roles of the missionary children. The Rusts bought a beach 

house at Kawhia and often stayed there with family and 

friends. 

START OF TEACHING CAREER 

In 1940 Yvonne moved to Christchurch to undertake a 

Diploma in Fine Arts at Canterbury University’s School of 

Art. 

She took up a teaching job in Palmerston North in 1945, but 

during school holidays she often returned to Parawera or 

stayed at Kawhia. 

After a refresher course for art teachers in 1949 she 

‘discovered’ pottery and was hooked. 

She became art mistress at Christchurch Girls High 

School, where interestingly two of her pupils were Juliet 

Hulme and Pauline Parker who were convicted of killing 

Parker’s mother in 1954. 

MEMORIAL PARK RELIEF PANEL 

In 1954 Yvonne also won the contract for the design and 

creation of a clay model relief panel (pictured below) for the 

Te Awamutu and Districts War Memorial Park. 

The quote was for £84 but Yvonne offered a 50% discount as 

her personal contribution to the monument.

Fascinating story 

of Yvonne Rust 

From page 9. 

The panel represents ‘the merger of Maori and 

Pakeha ways of life’. 

The left side of the panel depicts Maori from the 

landing of the Tainui canoe, while the European 

history is on the right. They meet in the centre with 

an 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 to 

Christchurch where Yvonne accepted a position 

with an Adult Education Extension programme. 

She was to the forefront of the pottery movement 

during the 1950’s in Christchurch, then moved to 

Greymouth in the 1960’s where she continued to 

create pottery and taught at Greymouth High 

School. 

She was the subject of a TVNZ documentary in 

1970 which promoted her desire to utilise and 

develop New Zealand raw materials. 

She moved north in 1971, back to Whangarei, 

and that year she also received a QE II Arts Council 

Fellowship for services to pottery. 

She ran summer pottery schools in Parua Bay, 

staged various exhibitions and visitors streamed to 

her home at Tahunatapu Point to see her working. 

THE QUARRY ARTS CENTRE 

She also developed ‘The Quarry’ a nursery for 

art and craft skills with resident artists, a retail 

outlet, 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 pottery 

was still her great love. 

In 1999 she moved back to the West Coast, 

settling at Runanga where the Yvonne Rust West 

Coast Arts Trust was formed in 2000/01. 

Yvonne was a diabetic and her health deteriorated 

during 2001. 

In 2002 she broke her hip and was taken to 

hospital for a partial hip replacement. 

But she never full recovered, after contracting 

an infection following the operation, and died aged 

79 on June 26, 2002. 

Yvonne Rust’s work remains as part of her 

legacy - around 1400 paintings which are mostly in 

private collections and thousands of pieces of 

pottery, also mainly in private collections. 

But Te Awamutu is lucky enough to have it’s 

own special piece of her work that will be a lasting 

reminder of the pioneer potter and inspirational 

arts educator.

The development of the Bible from 

Moses writing the first books to a modern 

translator using a laptop was part of a 

successful drama staged at the North End 

Church recently. 

Drama groups from the Anglican, 

Assembly of God, Bible Chapel, Catholic, 

Methodist, North End and Presbyterian 

churches performed ten scenes. 

Each was produced by Anna McClunie 

from the Bible Chapel and mixed humour 

with spiritual messages. 

Around 150 people came from as far 

away as Thames and Matamata to support 

the 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 5-6 

students to use during Bible in Schools 

lessons in state primary schools, including 

some in Te Awamutu. 

This year marks 400 years since the 

King James version of the Bible, the most 

widely printed book in the world, was first 

printed in 1611. 

Original Bibles (1611 KJV) are now very 

rare and worth in excess of $50,000. 

The Te Awamutu Bible Society Action 

Group hopes to stage a competition to see

Our history... 

What did we do before the days of electric blankets and 

rubber hot water bottles? The problem of cold feet 

has long been seen as detrimental to good health. In 

the late 19th and early 20th century remedies for cold feet 

were often discussed in local newspapers of the day. Usually 

the suggested aim was to improve circulation to the feet one 

way or another. One article suggested ‘‘Twice a day stand on 

one foot on a stool and swing the other foot five minutes, then 

reverse. Then for two minutes walk on tiptoe around the 

room.’’ 

For those who could afford it there were ceramic foot 

warmers which were filled with boiling water and placed in the 

bed or were used when travelling on trains. For those who 

could not afford a foot warmer or bed warmer, a brick was 

heated on the stove. Examples of some early foot warming 

artefacts, as well as excerpts from some amusing newspaper 

columns can be seen on display at the Museum currently. 

Did you know... 

that your community newspaper has 

a readership of 27,200? 

That’s 27,200 potential clients for your business.

Clarke Waikato bodybuilding champ 

Former Miss Rosetown beauty still cutting fabulous figure 

BY COLIN THORSEN 

Kiriana Clarke is still 

wowing the judges on-stage 

17 years after being crowned 

Miss Rosetown. 

The Te Awamutu 

37-year-old won the senior 

figure 35-plus title at the 

NABBA Waikato Bodybuilding 

Championships, 

staged at the Clarence Street 

Theatre, Hamilton. 

‘‘Kiriana has great stage 

presence, very calm but confident,’’ 

NABBA Waikato 

area rep, Teresa Edwards 

told the Courier. 

‘‘What I think gave her 

the edge over the other girls, 

is that she has a wonderful 

shape — bodybuilding is a 

form of art, and competitors 

with nice lines and angles 

like Kiriana always shine 

out in a line up.’’ 

Edwards says Clarke’s 

muscle tone and leanness 

was similar from upper 

body to lower body. 

‘‘No doubt when she 

steps on stage at nationals 

she will have improved 

somewhat more. 

‘‘In the 35-plus class, 

Kiriana would be my first 

pick for nationals. I look 

forward to seeing her on 

stage again.’’ 

Clarke is a mother of 

three, Paetyn (10), Anika (8) 

and Nixon (3). 

She joined Bruce’s Fitness 

Centre when her third 

child was eight weeks old to 

lose post baby body fat. 

Once she had achieved 

the objective, her goal the 

following year was to compete. 

In October 2010 she

Rosetown in 2004. 

targeted the NZIFBB Waikato 

Bodybuilding Championships 

in Hamilton, 

entering three divisions on 

debut. 

‘‘I’ve always had a 

passion for the whole gym 

scene, starting back when I 

instructed at Te Awamutu 

Health & Fitness Centre and 

being a personal trainer at 

Te Awamutu Events 

Centre.’’ 

Clarke had instant success 

as a competitor, winning 

the senior body fitness 

over-35 title, placing second 

in novice tall body fitness, 

and third in novice tall body 

figure. 

Heartened by her success 

at regional level, Clarke 

entered two divisions at the 

2010 nationals in Auckland, 

placing second in both the 

senior body fitness over-35 

and novice tall body fitness. 

The NABBA Waikato 

Bodybuilding senior figure 

over- 35 champion is hoping 

to go one better when 

contesting this event at the 

2011 NABBA nationals in 

Auckland in October. 

In order to keep in shape, 

Clarke plans to compete at 

the NABBA Bay of Plenty 

regional championships in 

Whakatane next month, followed 

by the NZIFBB Waikato 

championships in 

Hamilton early October. 

Competitors are judged 

over three rounds. 

First round ‘symmetry’ 

has them on stage in high 

heels in a straight line 

facing the judges. 

They execute a series of 

quarter turns to the right, 

allowing the judges to view 

and compare them from 

front, left side, back and 

right side. 

The judges are looking 

for femininity, poise, tight 

lines, skin tone, and smiles. 

Clarke says she practiced 

in the mirror to ensure she 

felt and looked confident 

when on-stage. 

In round two ‘compulsory’ 

competitors pose, 

highlighting front double 

biceps, followed by chest 

pose/triceps, back double 

biceps, abdominal and 

thigh. 

The third round 

comprises a night show 

where each competitor 

performs a 60 second 

individual routine. 

Clarke says she is grateful 

to her sponsors Brett and 

Sue Cullen, and her family 

for their ongoing support.

BY COLIN THORSEN 

Luke Jeffries has his eyes set

His coach Rod Jeffries has 

high hopes for the 15-year-old,

extraordinary record in his fledgling 

career — including four wins 

from four fights against Australian 

regional champions.

‘‘His build-up for the World

Jeffries missed out on

Otto stable has 

nose in front 

RICHARD OTTO with one of his stable stars Ourforeignminister. 

BY PHILLIP QUAY 

Richard and Chris Otto look set to 

become Te Awamutu’s leading horse 

trainers for the 2010/11 season. 

The Ottos currently have 23 wins 

to their credit for the season which 

concludes on Sunday. 

The stable’s most recent winner 

was Whoshe in the Listed Great 

Northern Foal Stakes at Ellerslie 

early June. 

In addition, the Ottos have had 20 

seconds and 27 third placegetters to 

date. 

The last northern race meeting is 

at Te Rapa on Saturday. 

Chances of the Ottos extending 

their tally rest with Whoshe in the 

Ryder Stakes at Otaki on Friday and 

Ourforeignminister at Taumarunui 

meeting at Te Rapa on Saturday. 

Both are good chances — Whoshe 

is fresh back starting a new campaign, 

while Ourforeignminister ran 

second in Te Awamutu Cup last start 

and will be dropping back a grade. 

Firehawks primed 

for league playoffs 

Any Te Awamutu Sports 

Firehawks complacency has been 

well and truly extinguished going 

into Waikato rugby league’s premier 

reserve ‘top five’ playoffs. 

The top qualifying Firehawks 

needed one of their ‘get out of jail’ 

cards to pip bottom-of-the-table 

Kiokio Hunters 34-32 at Maihihi. 

Kiokio led 18-14 at halftime and 

were still on equal terms at 32-all 

with two minutes to play — only to 

concede a penalty out in front of the 

posts for Richard Ball to convert into 

match-winning points. 

Try scorers for the Firehawks 

were Charles Campbell, Luke 

Hansen, Orsana Flavell, Clint 

Staples, Young 

four-ball champs 

Brenda Staples and Sue Young combined 

outstandingly to win the women’s four-ball bestball 

competition at Pirongia Golf Club. 

The champion pairing won a hotly contested 

final 3/2 over the runners-up Meredith Pengelly 

and Shirley Kewish. 

Staples and Young enjoyed further success, 

taking out the scramble, on rabbits, with 76 

stableford, from K. Sanders and C. Ward on 73, and 

E. 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, while 

the only two was scored by the team of S. Grey and 

C. Ward. 

TC260711CT05 

Graeme and Mark Sanders’ stable 

has saddled up 21 winners — the 

second highest total number of wins 

for a Te Awamutu stable. 

The Sanders’ biggest win of the 

season came when classy three-yearold 

filly Smoulder won the Group 2 

Cambridge Stud Eight Carat Classic 

(1600m) at Ellerslie on Boxing Day. 

There is little between the two 

leading Te Awamutu stables in terms 

of prize money won by their horses. 

The Otto’s stable representatives 

have earned $407,790, while the 

Sanders’ stable runners have 

amassed $405,790 in stakes. 

There is a chance the Sanders may 

still get up and pip the Ottos. They 

will have three or four starters at 

Taumarunui in Innocent Lady, 

Already Perfect and Te Toro Lass, 

with Romario another possible 

starter. 

The third highest total was posted 

by the Robert Priscott/Clayton 

Chipperfield stable with 15 wins and 

almost $240,000 in stakes. 

Mauriohooho, Taawhirltengakau 

Howell and Mansell Baker. Four of 

the six tries were converted by Ball. 

Malcolm Howell was named 

player of the day. 

The Firehawks finished the 

second round with a 12 win, two loss 

record. As top qualifiers, they have 

two lives in the playoffs and received 

the bye first up. 

They meet Rangariri at Resthills 

Park, Hamilton, 1.30pm kickoff, on 

Saturday. 

Team spokesperson, Marj Heke- 

Waaka is anticipating a big local 

contingent of supporters will travel 

north for the match in supports of the 

Firehawks.

in Sunday’s finale to the 

week-long tournament 

in Cambridge, Te Awamutu 

took out two team 

trophies, along with one 

individual award. 

Captain Conner 

Loomans accepted two 

trophies on his team’s 

behalf — the Brian 

Spraggon Memorial 

Shield, awarded to the 

runner-up team, as well 

as the Rowan/Baird 

Trophy for the highest 

placed country team. 

Blindside flanker 

Zekyl Aperehama was 

recipient of the Ross 

Southcombe Cup for 

country player of the 

tournament, chosen by 

the Waikato Roller Mills 

selectors. 

Further success went 

Waipa’s way with Cambridge 

taking out the 

Don Le Prou Trophy for 

team sportsmanship. 

It is interesting to 

note that eight Te Awamutu 

team members 

played their way into 

Waikato Roller Mills 

trials with an outstanding 

tournament — 

Tairoa Crean, Te Hau 

Mitchell, Zekyl 

Aperehama, Josh

CFP 

ZEKYL APEREHAMA 

Moorby, Josh Coffin, 

Conner Loomans, Tyler- 

Joel Makaea and 

Tamehana Hohepa — 

compared to only five 

when winning the 

Shield last year. 

Forty-four boys will 

trial in town v country 

teams over the next 

three consecutive 

Sundays at Cambridge 

to select the Waikato 

team to contest the 

Roller Mills tournament 

in Thames from October 

9-15. 

Te Awamutu deservedly 

made the final, topping 

Pool A and 

thrashing Morrinsville, 

the Pool A runners-up, 

36-0 in the semi-final. 

Tries went to Tyler- 

Joel Makaea (2), Conner 

Loomans (2), Josh Cof- 

fin and Tiroa Crean, 

with Josh Moorby 

adding three 

conversions. 

After an outstanding 

semi-final, the Chris 

Gibson/John Moorby 

co-coached Te Awamutu 

side met their nemesis 

— the well-drilled Hamilton 

Wasps in the final 

— a side they had lost 

29-nil to in one of their 

earlier crossover games. 

Team manager, Nigel 

Atkinson says the game 

plan was to shut down 

the Wasps’ No. 6 and No. 

8, who were excellent 

runners with the ball. 

After a stirring haka, 

led by Zekyl 

Aperehama, Te Awamutu 

got into their 

work immediately by 

putting the Wasps onto 

the back foot with a try 

to player of the day 

Aperehama, converted 

by Moorby, to lead 7-0. 

Te Awamutu could 

do no wrong with first 

five Moorby kicking 

into the corners, keeping 

the opposition 

firmly entrenched in 

their own half. 

It took the Wasps 

until five minutes 

before halftime to open 

their account with an 

unconverted try, and Te 

Awamutu went to the 

break leading 7-5. 

Playing into the wind 

in the second spell, Te 

Awamutu showed 

admirable discipline 

and composure to stick 

to their plan of playing 

the game in the oppo-

sition half. 

The pressure told 

when the Wasps 

knocked on five metres 

from their line, gifting 

Te Awamutu an attacking 

scrum. A fumble by 

the opposition halfback 

saw Aperehama pounce 

on the ball, only to fall 

just short of the try line. 

The game swung in 

the balance as play went 

from one end of the field 

to the other. 

The Wasps mounted 

a backline attack, countered 

by centre Keegan 

Atkinson intercepting a 

pass and running 50 

metres only to be cut 

down by the covering 

defence.

The Wasps appeared 

a trifle lucky when the 

referee and touch judges 

appeared to miss two 

knock ons in a backline 

move resulting in a try 

in the corner to take a 

12-7 lead. 

Te Awamutu fought 

hard to get back into the 

game but, try as they 

might, the score blew 

out to 22-7 at fulltime. 

Atkinson says the 

coaching and management 

staff would like to 

pay special thanks to the 

team sponsors, supporters 

and all the 

players’ parents for 

making this a most 

enjoyable and once in a 

life 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.
