First published in1844 – it remains the definitive Maoridictionary.His ability to also capture an audienceas an orator made a lasting impression onvisiting speaker Sir Apirana Ngata at aland meeting in Te Kuiti in 1928.In a letter to Sir Peter Buck soon after,Sir Apirana wrote: “The torch-bearer ofthis area will, I think, be Pei Jones – agood man, with plenty of vision, a first-rateMaori scholar, steeped in the West Coastfolk lore and culture. A very competentmaster of English and he has the fire tokindle hearts.”When Ngata died in 1950, he had beguntranslating 20 of 300 traditional Maorisongs into English.Mr Jones completed this collectionproducing three volumes in a series calledNga Moteatea.However, he is most strongly rememberedin this region for his work withTainui.Mr Jones was the first Tainui MaoriTrust Board chairman, then its secretaryand helped draft the original documentsthat eventually became the Waikato-Tainui Raupatu Settlement – consideredhis greatest legacy.KINGITANGAThe Kingitanga Movement was alsoclose to Mr Jones’ heart – a role that occupiedmuch of his life.thumbs up/downTHUMBS UP to everyone that got out and did the Otorohanga MidWinter fun run/walk awesome work.

Waitomo News Thursday, June 27, 2013 3CLASSIC WINSTON: New Zealand First leader Winston Peters’ speech in Te Kuiti on Monday covered familiar bogeymen– the media, Chinese immigrants, successive wasteful Governments and the ruinous economic policies of the past 30years for starters. He urged Grey Power members to buy themselves some insurance by giving their second vote to NZFirst – the only “glimmer of hope on the horizon”. He also lambasted the media but turned on a smile (right) when beinginterviewed by reporters.Peters visits faithfulBy ROBBIE KAYNEW Zealand First leader Winston Peters’speech in Te Kuiti on Monday covered familiarground.After all he was preaching to the converted– about 100 party faithful – who enjoy the entertainingbarbs he throws at the media, Chineseimmigrants, successive wasteful Governments,the ruinous economic policies of the past 30 yearsand much more.China came in for a hammering with referencesto immigration – and China in particular – occupyingmore than half his 47-minute speech at theGrey Power-organised meeting at the Te KuitiBowling Club.National media are referring to his Te Kuitidelivery as ‘The Orwell Speech’ because of his repeatedreferrals to the ‘Ministry of Truth’.In George Orwell’s famous novel 1984 publishedin 1949, the world is constantly at war and thegovernment, led by Big Brother, spies on everyoneand practices mind control in the name of thegreater good.In the book a privileged and elite few persecuteindividual thinking and the Ministry of Truth isactually a ministry of propaganda responsible fortwisting the truth.The hero, who secretly hates Big Brother anddreams of saving the world, is named Winston,a coincidence Mr Peters pointed out with a wrygrin.With the General Election on the horizon andto the delight of his audience, he raised all thefamiliar bogeymen urging Grey Power membersto “buy themselves some insurance by giving theirsecond vote to NZ First – “the only glimmer of hopeon the horizon”.Government agency Pharmac, set up to managegovernment spending on medicines, copped someearly flak.He accused Pharmac of “playing Hitler”, sayingexpensive pharmaceuticals should only be given toyounger people, successfully raising the hackles ofhis older audience.The media was the next whipping boy on theblock – all “white, educated, social liberals whowork for a state-owned organisation or a foreignownedmedia chain and are very indignant.”He claimed the media “set out to destroy freedomof speech in our country” by making “immigrationand race relations taboo subjects”, accusing himof “playing the race card” and not giving him afair go.In a tit-for-tat tirade, he said journalists andtheir fellow liberal travellers “pollute the landscape”and attack NZ First because “they don’tlike our message.”“Ill-considered” immigration policy, in particularChina-related policy, dreamt up by people “with asoft heart and head to match” came in for a prolongedblast.It was classic Winston Peters all the way.“Thinking and concerned Kiwis are aware of theCRAIGELECTRICAL SERVICES LTDALL DOMESTIC – COMMERCIAL – RURAL24 HOUR BREAKDOWN SERVICENew Dairy Shed SpecialistDairy Shed AlterationsEffluent SystemsPumping SystemsDriveway/Tanker Track BuzzersNew HousesAlterations/RewiresLighting SolutionsTelephone/DataSecurity Cameras/AlarmsPHONE BRIAN027 474 5473p/f 07 873 6944 • e craig.electrical@xtra.co.nz“Rural specialist with over 20 years experience”issues that ill-considered immigrationpolicies have brought for the last twodecades,” he said.“Problems seen in Auckland stemfrom these policies and will be paidfor by generations of taxpayers while“pinky finger-pointing, Chardonnaydrinking,self-appointed experts (civilservants) wonder what all the fussis about.“Well, no-one in real NZ outsidethe Wellington beltway gives a rat’sderriere what those civil servantsthink.”In his speech Mr Peters criticisedopen door immigration policy sayingNZ First opposed the free trade dealwith China because there were toomany concessions in favour of China,which is “a non-democratic countryusing cheap labour in often unsafeworking conditions”.AFF10419URGENTCONFIDENTIAL LISTENING& ASSISTANCE SERVICESome memoriesnever fade.If you were in the care ofthe State before 1992 andhave concerns about yourexperiences…….You still have the chance to be heard,in confi dence, by a panel of qualifi ed peoplewho will be visiting your area.

The workshop, to be held Septemberschool holidays also offers participants the chanceto broaden their acting skills overseas.Stainton-Lee says the chance to study and performat Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre in London,with New Zealand’s Young Shakespeare Companywould mean the world to him. “It’s amazing to getto go to NSSP, but it’ll be even better if I get toLondon.”PURSUING HIS DREAMStainton-Lee moved to Piopio with his formerTolaga Bay Area School drama teacher, now PiopioCollege principal Julie Radice, in pursuit of hisdream.“I moved here this year because I wanted topursue an acting career. She has been teachingdrama for years and believes in me.”Stainton-Lee says when his family heard MrsRadice was leaving Tolaga Bay and there wouldbe no replacement drama teacher they felt his bestchance at making acting a career was by also movingto Piopio. So, he left his mum and two youngersiblings and travelled 470.91km to the North KingCountry, where he now lives with Mrs Radice andher family.He has quickly immersed himself in two of histhree passions – acting and dance – and came “thisclose” to representing his school with the ImperiousDance Company at the World Hip Hop Championshipsin Las Vegas earlier this year.Although his passion is first and foremost performingon stage, he is also focused on being acceptedinto the National Academy of Singing andDramatic Art in Christchurch to study a Bachelorof Performing Arts.GREAT INFLUENCESelf-driven, Stainton-Lee has never taken hiseyes off the prize – an education in singing anddrama and achieving his ultimate goal of becominga movie star.He says Mrs Radice has been a great influencehaving introduced him to drama and musicals.“She has been teaching drama for a while nowand is really good at what she does. I was the shytype as a kid right up until I was about 13, thatwas when I started to come out of my shell, andMrs Radice and acting helped me with my confidence.”Since his first drama class in 2009, Stainton-Lee has been cast in school musicals Tommy andGuys and Dolls plus “a very funny” play calledUrine Town.Mrs Radice says Stainton-Lee has a real passionand presence on stage and responds well to guidanceand support. “He will go far if he continuesto develop the way he is, and he has a beautifulvoice.”Stainton-Lee holds New Zealand actors CliffCurtis, Temuera Morrison and Taika Waititi inhigh regard.CENTRE STAGE: Piopio College student Stainton-Lee Brown is living his acting dream,having earned a place in the prestigious National Secondary Shakespeare Productionworkshop.“It (acting) is really fun and givesa lot of youth the chance to try somethingnew and improve on what theywant to do in life.“I want to act in film, on stage, inmusicals and really want to be a movieactor . . . everything!

Waitomo News Thursday, June 27, 2013 7Five decades & still going strongRIVALS on the sport grounds and firm friendson the sideline, for five decades Te Kuiti HighSchool and Hauraki Plains College have shared acompetitive bond.Last week, the schools met at TKHS for their51st sports exchange, an annual battle betweenthe top netball, soccer, hockey and rugby teamsthat began in 1963 through the foresight of thenHauraki principal Jack Allen.Mr Allen contacted two schools, which at thattime were a similar size, to initiate the exchange.TKHS principal at the time Ross Bailey accepted,and the rest is history.Despite Hauraki’s roll growing steadily over theyears, the exchange has continued and last week90 of its 700 students travelled from Ngatea.This year’s matches were played at several venuesincluding the school’s sports grounds, WaitomoSports Stadium and Maniapoto Netball Centre.Hauraki Plains principal Ngaire Harris says therelationship began when Hauraki – then a districthigh school – became a college.A former student of the college she now leads,Mrs Harris says Mr Allen approached Te KuitiHigh School and Mahurangi College in Warkworth,north of Auckland.“He was good friends with the principals thereat the time and I think that had something to dowith the decision.“I know Mr Allen wanted to give the studentsa taste of another part of the country and an exchangewas the perfect opportunity to do that,”says Mrs Harris.ENDURING EXCHANGE: Staff and students of Te Kuiti High School hosted Hauraki Plains College for the 51st time on Thursday for the schools’ annualsports exchange (back left) TKHS’ Stevie-Leigh Williams and Rebecca Te Kani (back centre) chat with Hauraki Plains’ soccer players (back second left) ElenaSchouten, (back third from right) Courtney Berridge, Tamsin Armstrong, Morgan Hill and Ngaire McKay (front).Initially the exchange was an overnighttrip with students billeted by the hostschool. However, this stopped three yearsago because of an increase in activitiesoutside the classroom.“The calendar got so full with co-curricularactivities like Gateway, outdoor education,block courses and weekend sportand the same kids that were involved withthese were in our senior sports teams.”Mrs Harris says rather than forego theexchange entirely it was agreed to makeit a day trip.She was involved with the exchange in1971-72 as a student and remembers thelong trip to Te Kuiti and having to meet atotal stranger and stay in their home.TO P11Unichem Te Kuiti Pharmacyis pleased to welcome their new PharmacistLindy Leon to the teamLindy joins us from the Seychelle Islands where she worked forseveral years after being a pharmacist at Timaru Hospital.

Waitomo News Thursday, June 27, 2013 9WWII veteran diesONE of Waitomo district’s last survivingWorld War II veterans Hartree Dampneydied at Te Kuiti’s Hillview Resthome onTuesday.Mr Dampney (93) served as an Armyengineer or ‘sapper’ in Italy from 1942-1946.During his service, he drove a bulldozerunder constant enemy fire, clearing a wayfor his fellow engineers to rebuild bridgesdestroyed by retreating German forces.“I was a 21-year-old private when I gotthe call-up. I had no big ideas of beinga hero or anything,” said Mr Dampney(Waitomo News, April 30, 2009)The decision to become a sapper wasthrust upon him.“My father had a crawler tractor andbecause not many people could use one atthe time I was given the job.”Originally from Hawke’s Bay, he consideredhimself lucky to return home aliveand in 1947 settled on a farm in Aria withhis wife Pat.“We came under fire a lot. I was terrifiedbut I must have been one of the luckyones to return alive. It was a bloody greatexperience really.”Mr Dampney, who was well-knownthroughout the Waitomo district, will befarewelled at VJ Williams and Sons Chapelon Friday. He is survived by his wife Patand children John, Jill, Paul and Peter.Peters visits faithfulaFROM P3He also warned corruption in China could beexported to NZ as “there are many opportunitiesin Auckland for a quick buck” where “misery andcrime feed off gambling dens” like Sky City.He said NZ is being promoted in China as a greatcountry to retire in and, with 50% of NZ’s healthcarespend going on people aged over 65 years,elderly Chinese will be an added burden.He said last year the number of skilled peopleimmigrating here was matched by the number ofChinese near retirement age “soon to go on ourwelfare”.“After 10 years that migrant is entitled to fullNZ Super – something you spent your lifetimestruggling to get the same pension and healthentitlements.“No other country in the world has a universalpension at this level of generosity.”Currently 65,000 people receive NZ Super.Under NZ First, Mr Peters said immigrantswould only be entitled to a quarter of NZ Superafter 10 years’ residency.“We will give immigrants who come here a fairgo, but we cannot give them what they have neverworked for,” he said.“We have an ageing population and a flood ofretirees returning from overseas and we cannotadd to that.”He lamented the ‘good old days’ when the Ministerof Labour knew the names of the 28 peopleout of work, when NZ gained every modern facilityavailable in the modern world despite its smallpopulation and stood at number two in terms ofGDP.“The people in Parliament had no universitydegrees, but had practical life experience. Manyhad been to war and understood the priority ofpolitics is to expand people’s happiness.“We could do it again, but not with ideologicalpolicies and a dog-eat-dog attitude. In a soundeconomy everyone must benefit.”In a touch of humour, when someone’s cellphonerang during his speech. . . he said “Tell John Keyto call back. I’m busy. He should have paid attentionlast year.”IN BRIEFCharities join forcesKEEPING thousands of small feet warm this winter, withSir Peter Blake’s lucky red socks, is the dream of twohigh-profile New Zealand charities that are joining forcesfor this year’s Red Socks Day.During the next three weeks, the Sir Peter Blake Trustand KidsCan will be running a special campaign called‘Wear a pair, share a pair’.

28 Waitomo News Thursday, June 27, 2013WAITOMOewsCeremony a feather in capsFOR the first time in its illustrious 108-yearhistory, King Country rugby’s All Blacks andcenturions will be presented a ceremonial cap fortheir achievements.As a way of honouring the union’s longest servingplayers and starting a tradition for future generations,a special capping ceremony is planned atOwen Delany Park in Taupo on September 14, tocoincide with the grand final of the Stan MeadsCup competition and Heartland clash betweenKing Country and Thames Valley.The list of players includes eight All Blacks – SirColin Meads, Stan Meads, Graham Whiting, BillPhillips, Jack McLean, Ron Bryers, Phillip Coffinand Kevin Boroevich as well as centurions – PaulMitchell, Hutana Coffin, Ian Ingham, GlynnMeads, George Peake, John Werata, Murray Kidd,Glen Mulgrew, Chris Wills, Chris Heppenstall andSimon Bradley.Sir Colin and Coffin will receive a cap recognisingboth their All Black and centurion milestones.The caps will be presented by a New ZealandRugby Union representative, while the players whocan’t attend will be recognised at Heartland Championshipgames in either Taupo or Te Kuiti.King Country Rugby Football Union chief executiveDavid Trewavas says the union’s cappingceremony was decided last year following the rollout of NZRU’s All Blacks caps.“I think it is very important we acknowledge ourunion’s All Blacks and centurions for their contributionto King Country rugby over the years.“It is exciting that we will finally recognise theseplayers and hopefully they’ll have their familiespresent because the cap is something they can allcherish and pass down through the generations.”LOGO CHANGEIn sticking with tradition, KCRFU board membershave also decided to reintroduce the union’soriginal logo, dropping the Rams head crest whichwas introduced in the late 1980s.“The cartoonish Rams head logo had pretty muchrun its course,” says Trewavas.“So as a nod to King Country’s proud historyand tradition we’ve decided to re-adopt the original1922 ball logo.“We see it as a way to move forward while alsopaying homage to the past.”The 1922 logo, which features a simple rugbyball with KCRU on it, will gradually be phased onto team jerseys and promotional signs.PAST NOW PRESENT: King Country Rugby Football Union board members have votedto re-introduce the union’s original 1922 logo and drop the Rams head crest which wasintroduced in the 1980s.We’restillhere!!Bernie’s Auto’s,Hire Plant & Workshop• We service all makes and models of cars and farm bikes• Do mechanical repairs and engineering• Sell secondhand tyres with a fitting and balancing service• Callout service available• Sell cars and machinery on behalfWe hire:• Tandem furniture trailer • Car transport trailer • Log splitterFIELDAYS DEALSUnbelieveable!We operate a bobcat for hire• We can do your cattleyards • Under your woolshed • Section clearingCall Bernie’s Auto’s502 State Highway 30, Te Kuiti P 07 878 8798OPEN DAYThursday, 4 July1.30pm startUSE YOUR HEAD USEYOUR ATV HELMETMULE 610BIGFOOT 4x4SAVE$810$12,696excl GSTUSE YOUR HEAD USEYOUR ATV HELMET2012 MULE 4010TRANS DIESEL 4x4SAVE$3,500$16,517excl GSTIt’s never too earlyto start looking...Boys & GirlsYears 7 – 13Day & BoardingRegistrations at 1.15pm1716 SH1, Cambridgewww.stpeters.school.nzUSE YOUR HEAD USEYOUR ATV HELMETBRUTE FORCE650 4x4SAVE$800$11,470excl GSTSTOCKMAN 250SAVE$750$6,300excl GSTOffers valid until 31st July or while stocks last.
