Carving a place in history

TC021208GJ01WAHAROA (gateway) to the traditional Maori garden, which has someclose ties to Te Awamutu.

TC021208GJ02CARVERS Sam Roa (left) and Shane Tamaki alongside some of their pou (carved poles) in the palisade atTe Parapara traditional Maori garden — their fifth major Hamilton project.

BY GRANT JOHNSTON

The traditional Maori garden atHamilton Gardens which wasofficially opened today features anextensive range of carvings byKihikihi-based artisans Sam Roaand Shane Tamaki.

The pair have toiled over thepast year to carve the waharoa(gateway) and 40 pou (carvedposts) that provide the ‘backbone’of the palisade fence to the largeMaori garden.

The work was commissionedby Te Parapara Garden Trust, NgaMana Toopu o Kirikiriroa andHamilton City Council and carriedout mainly at the Aotearoa Insti-tute workshop in Kihikihi.

The concept, design of the carv-ings and colour scheme for thewaharoa were the work of WiremuPuke of Ngati Wairere.

Mr Puke told the Courier he isdelighted with the quality of work-manship of the Kihikihi carvers,which has seen the vision he hadfor the garden come to life.

‘‘There are many nationalitiesrepresented at Hamilton Gardens,so it is fitting to represent over1000 years of Maori garden pro-duce in Aotearoa.’’

Mr Puke says the waharoa, pouand palisade fence will illustratemuch Tainui history and depicttraditions (tikanga) from the area,as will the garden itself.

The ochre used (kokowai) repli-cates the pre-European coloursseen on such structures.

The garden will containkumara and root crops grown inpre-European times, along withpiko piko, gourds, kiekie, karakaand hinau (berry producing trees),aruhe (fern root), tawa andtaromaori.

‘‘It will contain some foods lastcultivated and eaten in my grand-parents time.’’

Mr Puke says there arerecorded European sightings ofMaori food cultivation at Kirikiri-roa Pa (Hamilton) and at a largenumber of sites along the banks ofthe Waikato River in the 1840s.

‘‘Waikato was at one time thefood bowl for Auckland.’’

Te Parapara Pa stood on thesite now partially occupied by thetraditional Maori garden (at onestage in the interim sadly used as arubbish tip).

The site was at one time hometo Haanui, a famous Ngati Wairerechief, and was particularlyrenowned as a site of sacredrituals associated with the har-

vesting of food crops.The overall construction of the

waharoa, and the designs on thecross beam and support posts arebased on ancient Waikato carv-ings found on the carved sideentrance of a famous chief’s housethat was called Te Urutomokia.

The features of this waharoawere recorded from the housewhen it stood in the ruins ofRaroera, an abandoned Pa near TeAwamutu in 1844. Te Urutomokiawas built for Potatau TeWherowhero, who later becamethe first Maori King in 1858.

A carved figure from this houseis on display in the Te AwamutuMuseum.

Te Urutomokia was often usedfor sacred religious rituals, and itsname is preserved in ancientchants which are still sung onWaikato marae.

The project, with a total cost ofaround $750,000 (plus lot of ‘good-will’), is the only one of its type.

Much of that funding has comefrom Lotteries and philanthropictrusts. Trustees include MavoraHamilton (chairperson), JohnGallagher, former HamiltonMayor Margaret Evans, Anaru

Thompson (tumuaki of NgatiHaua), Hekeirangi Broadhurst(Ngati Wairere) and Dave Samuels(Ngati Mahana).

Mr Puke will be an extremelyproud man today, although sad at

the same time that his recentlydeceased father, the hugely influ-ential Hare Puke (who was patronof the trust), did not live to see thiswonderful project reach fruitionin the next year or two.

Telephone nurse triageservice managing afterhours medical care

Patients accessing the after hoursmedical service at Te Awamutu Medi-cal Centre will be noticing changes inthe way the service is delivered.

Erica Amon, operations managerfor Waikato Primary Health, saysinstead of GPs being on call 24/7, lastmonth experienced nurses began tohelp ease the load by managing afterhour calls.

Patients needing medical adviceafter normal weekday and weekendclinic hours will now have their callsdiverted to HML Nurse Triage Ser-vices located in Auckland.

She says calls will be answered byfully trained and experienced nurseswho will be able to assist patients andoffer appropriate help and advice,says Amon.

‘‘Where appropriate, the triagenurses will refer cases to the afterhours service or the nearest hospitalemergency department.’’

Emergency services remainunchanged for people involved inserious accidents or with life threat-ening conditions who still need to call111. And patients will continue tomake appointments for planned orroutine matters with their usual GP

or medical centre during normalworking hours.

The Waikato DHB has purchasedthis service for all rural GPs whowish to use it and Waikato PrimaryHealth has been appointed to facili-tate the implementation of the ser-vice.

‘‘The service is already in place inother areas throughout the Waikatoand New Zealand and is workingwell.’’ Previously, Pinnacle havefunded trial periods for rural prac-tices, but now via the DHB the fullcost of the service can be met. GPshave been under a lot of pressurewhich was unsustainable and puttingGPs off working in rural areas.

The service is available any timethe practice is closed all night, onweekends and public holidays evenon Christmas Day.

‘‘It is expected there will be aperiod in which patients learn howthe new process will work and theremay be questions and queries as tohow the changes will affect patientsand their families.’’

Patients are encouraged to contactmedical centre staff to discuss anyissues.

BY CATHY ASPLIN

Over 200 guests at this year’sCornerstone Sports Achieve-ment Charitable Trust luncheonreceived an insight into the livesof double Olympic gold medal-lists Georgina and CarolineEvers-Swindell.

While a little shy in front ofthe large crowd at Te AwamutuSports Club, they were happy toanswer questions about manyaspects of their lives, includingtheir amazingly close doublesrace at Beijing.

‘‘We had a terrible time at theWorld Cup in Poznan a fewweeks before and our aim forBeijing was really just to have agood race.

‘‘When we crossed the line wewere thrilled by the way we hadrowed and happy knowing weprobably had a medal.

‘‘To get gold was a bonus - andone we’re happy to take.’’

Other questions from MCGareth Duncan and the floorranged from ‘‘Do you really likebeef and lamb?’’ (yes), ‘‘Whatwas your worst rowing experi-ence?’’ (staying in a filthy boat

shed in Poznan) and ‘‘How didyou pick yourself up from theWorld Cup disaster?’’ (lots ofsoul searching and training hardto make steady gains).

The twins provided two itemsfor the auction that followed, asigned shirt and a signed framedphoto of the pair on the victorydais at Beijing, which provided acombined total of $2485.

The singlet was won by Jimand Sue van der Poel who wereenjoying their first visit to aCornerstone Trust event.

‘‘We decided there were acouple of things in the auctionwe would like - the twins’ shirtwas definitely one of them whichwe are delighted with.

‘‘It will be framed and be alasting reminder of our meetingwith the twins in Te Awamutu.’’

The framed photo was won byCornerstone trustee Mick Hen-derson and will have pride ofplace in his bar, The Redoubt.

Other sought after items to gounder the hammer of auctioneerSteve Weck included a framedpicture of Mahe Drysdale ($710),wooden outdoor furniture($1100) and an NPC Canterbury

signed jersey ($525).Caroline and Georgina met

with many of this year’s recipi-ents from the Cornerstone Trust.

Each gave a brief run downon their achievements from theyear and many also provideditems for the auction.

These included worldkickboxing items, a Toby LynnChiefs jersey, JazzApple cyclingjackets and a Fight for Lifeboxing singlet.

The trust was also grateful toreceive a $1000 donation fromthe Te Awamutu MarathonClinic which helped towards theoverall total from the day ofapproximately $16,000.

In all 10 talented young peoplefrom the Te Awamutu area havereceived assistance to followtheir sporting dreams this year.

Since being established thetrust has sponsored 17 athletes tothe tune of $35,000.

Trustee Christine Braun saysthe Cornerstone Sports Achieve-ment Charitable Trust sendsgrateful thanks to everyone whocontributed to the success of lastweek’s luncheon at Te AwamutuSports Club.

Bus driver fired into action

TC021208GJ04BUS GONE: Pirongia firefighters spray water onto the razed Go Bus. Pirongia Fire Force and Te Awamutu Fire Brigade assistedHamilton fire services at the scene.

BY GRANT JOHNSTON

While some are describingPirongia bus driver LarryLawrence as a hero, he says hedid what anyone else in hisshoes would have done whenthe school bus he was drivingcaught fire last Wednesday.

The Go Bus driver stoppedas soon as he felt he was able todo so safely and herded 15students off the bus, momentsbefore the 60-seater went up inflames.

Mr Lawrence was drivinghis regular after-school route

along Te Pahu Road, when henoticed smoke.

‘‘My first thought was that Ihad to get the kids off.’’

The bus was fuelled by CNGtanks, adding to the potentialdanger for its occupants.

Mr Lawrence says schoolbuses with children on boardare noisy places and althoughthe kids were yelling his name,that’s fairly common so at firsthe paid little attention. Butonce he saw smoke in therearview mirror he realisedwhat was up.

At the time, Mr Lawrence

was on a windy section of theroad approaching a narrowbridge near Waikoha Road.

To ensure a safe exit for thechildren and himself, and thewellbeing of other motorists,he drove a bit further along TePahu Road before stopping.

‘‘I just told them all to ‘getoff the bloody bus’.’’

Mr Lawrence says it tookjust 30 seconds to get everyoneoff. He then sent the childrenup the road, while he grabbed afire extinguisher in whatproved a futile effort to put thefire out. He opened up the

engine cover at the back ofthe bus, which only madematters worse.

Mr Lawrence movedaway from the bus butcouldn’t call 111 because hisphone was left on it. A localresident made the emer-gency services’ call.

Parents were calledimmediately and a replace-ment bus took other childrenhome.

Mr Lawrence says he wasrelieved the children, someof whom he has driven forfour years, were okay.

Petrol theft from Fire Force appliance could have proved costlyPirongia Fire Force played an import-

ant role at Wednesday’s bus fire, but if ithad not been for a joint training exercisewith Te Awamutu Fire Brigade a few daysbefore they may have run out of gas on theway.

Someone, whose lack of morals defies

belief, siphoned gas out of the fireappliance at Pirongia.

In the process they damaged the floatso the level on the gauge appeared to showplenty of gas left in the tank.

Fire Force members were mystified atfirst during the training exercise with

Kihikihi park tribute to remarkable surveyor

TC021208CT02ROCHFORT CLAN members Susan Stevenson (left), Wai Emery (second from right) and Jimmy Emery,alongside the newly unveiled plaque, with Te Awamutu Museum curator Stephanie Lambert.

Descendants of renowned sur-veyor/engineer John Rochfortwere delighted when a plaque bear-ing his name was unveiled atKihikihi’s John Rochfort Parkrecently.

A crowd of over 50 heard WaipaMayor Alan Livingston speakabout the enormous contributionJohn Rochfort made to the area,with his legendary survey of themain trunk line between Te Awa-mutu and Marton.

Mr Livingston paid tribute alsoto Te Awamutu Museum curator,Stephanie Lambert for the workshe had done in initiating therecognition of John Rochfort andhis achievements as part of themuseum’s 100 Years Down theTrack exhibition.

This year marks the 100th cele-bration of the opening of the NorthIsland main trunk railway line andin August Mr Rochfort wasinducted to the Te Awamutu Walkof Fame at the Pride of Te Awa-mutu Awards.

Jimmy Emery spoke on behalfof descendants and thanked MayorLivingston and all those involvedin the project, and also those whoattended the unveiling ceremony.

Mr Emery, who is a great grand-son of John Rochfort, said therewere many family membersthroughout Kihikihi and the KingCountry.

The park, on the corner of Bryceand Hall Streets, has benefittedfrom the attention of several organ-isations over the years.

The original area was a deepgully with a spring and a streamrunning away from it. During the1960s with some roads beingformed around the town, KihikihiTown Board ensured that the spoilwas dumped in the gully andeventually levelled out to form aflatter area.

In the 80s and 90s the area wasdeveloped by the Kihikihi Beauti-ful group and the trees wereplanted.

The Kihikihi Rotary Club built aplayground there with a flying foxfrom one corner to the other — butdisputes over ‘ownership’ saw theplayground removed.

It is now a picturesque parkused by local families for gameslike cricket during the summer.

Kihikihi Heritage Trail Com-mittee — these days comprisingMargaret Greene, Andrew Kay andMax Quirk — had some fundsremaining after completing thetrail so they decided to researchJohn Rochfort and erect a storyboard with information about himand his remarkable life in survey-ing the NIMT line and many otherprojects.

‘‘We hope we have honouredhim as he passed away in the StarHotel and is laid to rest in ourcemetery,’’ Mr Quirk says.

Born in England in 1832, JohnRochfort served his apprenticeshipas a Civil Engineer under IsambardKingdom Brunel — one of the 19thcentury’s most imaginative andversatile engineers. No doubt helearnt from Brunel the values ofpersistence and zest for theunknown so ably demonstrated bythat great man .

Mr Rochfort came to New Zea-land in 1851 to work as a surveyor.

After a brief spell in theVictorian goldfields he returned toNew Zealand and worked as asurveyor for the Nelson ProvincialGovernment involving some dar-ing explorations around the Tara-makau and Buller Rivers and lead-ing to the discovery of gold and coalin the Buller and Denniston areas.He also examined the port potentialof the all West Coast rivers, andlaid out the town of Greymouth.

He also surveyed the lines of theRimutaka and the Buller Gorgerailways. All these activitiesinvolved encountering real hard-ships in bush and rough country.

On June 26, 1883, he began whatturned out to be his greatestachievement, an engineering

reconnaissance of the route of theproposed Main Trunk Railwayfrom Te Awamutu to Marton. Thiswas to be a daunting task.

Not only did he have to find hisway through dense bush, steepravines and mountainous country,but he had to deal with consider-able opposition from Maori — threetimes his party was forced back atgunpoint and he was once heldprisoner for three days.

Leaving Marton in June 1883 hewent up the Rangitikei andHautapu valleys to Karioi, whereMaori stopped him, then returnedto Wanganui to seek the inter-cession of Major Kemp, but wasagain stopped at Ruakaka on theManganui-o-te-Ao.

Visits to Kemp and to Welling-ton to interview John Bryce pre-

ceded yet another advance up theWanganui to Te Papa, where warn-ing shots were fired over his head.

After a short pause, however,Rochfort learned that the mostresolute opponents of the surveyhad dispersed and he thereforereturned to complete the traverseto Waimarino.

At Taumarunui there was fur-ther difficulty, which Rochfort cir-cumvented by travelling north viaWest Taupo. Opposition was finallyremoved by a meeting at Kihikihibetween Bryce and Wahanui, afterwhich Rochfort finished the north-ern sector of his survey.

He presented his report for the212 mile line on September 9, 1884.

The survey, completed in just 15months, was an outstandingexample of Rochfort’s tenacity,

courage, and unequalled eye forroute location in broken bushcountry.

He later completed a traverseand level survey and, although theproblem of the descent from theVolcanic Plateau by the Spiral wasleft to later engineers to solve, thefact that the line throughout itsdistance substantially follows thisroute is a tribute to his work.

Mr Rochfort spent his lateryears in surveys in Westland andin mining investigations in Nelsonand in the southern Auckland area.

While engaged in a survey ofland in the Mokau area, he madehis headquarters in the Star Hotel,Kihikihi and it was in that buildingthat he died of a heart attack onMarch 8, 1893. He was laid to rest inthe Kihikihi Cemetery.

Authentic taste of Indian available

TC021208CA02AUTHENTIC Indian owner Pankaj Duggal (left) and staff member CarmenTapatahi with Jerry Buxton as he cooks a dish in the Sloane Street store.

Pankaj Duggal lovedhis mother’s Indiancooking so much hedecided to learn more sohe could replicate it athome.

He found that if hecreated curry pastes(masalas) that providedthe flavour like hismother’s dishes, hecould simply add theseto a variety of foods tocreate a quick and easymeal.

Word soon spreadand in 2004 Mr Duggalbegan to supply cafesand restaurants withproducts from hiswholesale business‘Authentic Indian FineFoods Limited’ based inTe Awamutu.

He says many peopleassociate Indian foodwith hot ‘eye watering’flavours, but he saysreal Indian cuisine ischaracterised by itssophisticated and subtleuse of herbs and spices.

Now those specialflavours are availablefrom the Sloane Streetstore either in masalasto take home to add toyour own ingredients orin ready made meals toeat on the premises ortake away.

Mr Duggal says themasalas - which includefavourites such astikka, rogan josh,butter, korma andtandoori - allow you touse your own choice offood.

‘‘In the past you’veonly been able to havebutter chicken, ratherthan butter lamb orbutter vegetables.

‘‘With our masalayou can create you ownmeal with authenticIndian flavours. If youjust wish to have meatyou can do that or if youwish to just have vege-tables you can also dothat.’’

Mr Duggal recom-mends cooking vege-tables or meat first,then it is simply a mat-ter of adding them to themasala and a littlewater in a wok orfrypan. The masalascome in a mild ‘heat’.

‘‘But if you havepeople in your family

who like different heats,you can simply use oneof our heat packs tovary the taste.

‘‘Make the mild ver-sion, then split the dishand add a teaspoon fromthe heat pack for thepeople who like itmedium or hot.’’

The ready-to-eatmeals available instoreare all vegetarian, withgluten free options.

‘‘We add no preserv-atives, artificial colour-ings or MSG to ourproducts. Our foods arelow in fat, high in fibreand have a hearty taste.

‘‘We use the finestingredients with theaim of providing awholesome meal thatcan be part of a healthylifestyle.’’

Authentic Indianalso offers samosas,snack meals, rice dishesand drinks.

Mark Penny made aspectacular return toracing winning the firstround of the BelrayCrosscountry Series atHuntly.

The highly-rated TeAwamutu rider blitzedthe field by over twominutes on a new fuelinjected Suzuki RM-Z450.

Slick work by his pitcrew, comprisingPenny’s wife Ilana andfather John, saw himmove from second intothe lead after just over50 minutes (three laps)into the race.

For the next threelaps Penny picked upthe pace, pulling a twoand a half minute leadover the rest of the field.

Despite slowing thepace ‘a little’ on the lastlap to avoid any mis-takes, he finished therace with a two minutelead over JasonMoorfield in second andLuke Ramsey in third.

‘‘The new RM-Z450worked awesome inevery condition. I amvery impressed,’’ saysPenny.

‘‘The track was agood mix of open farm

land and a 5km bushsection, it had a bit ofeverything.’’

Belray is a threeround series. Round twois in Naike on December

TC021208CT01TRUDI GOUGH with her gold medal and certificate.

BY COLIN THORSEN

Te Awamutu Masters SwimmerTrudi Gough is ‘over the moon’ afterwinning her first ever gold medal.

She had every reason to be elated— her gold was achieved in theOceania Masters one hour postalswim championships against oppo-sition from throughout New Zealand,Australia and the Pacific Islands.

Gough covered a personal bestdistance of 1770m in 60 minutes towin her 40-44 year age group.

The closest she had ever pre-viously come to winning gold was a

silver and two bronze at last year’sPacific Masters Championships inHamilton.

Gough was one of three Te Awa-mutu Masters swimmers, in all, tostrike gold in the Oceania postalswim.

Ronnie Stevenson won the 65-69year age group with 2310m in theallotted one hour and Warren Mainwon the 45-49 year age group, clock-ing up 3300m.

Annette Whittle was second with2475m in the 60-64 age group andHeather Leong third with 2685m inthe 45-49 years category.


Athletes on a rollTe Awamutu’s female

athletes have taken anunassailable lead in theWaikato SecondarySchools Wednesdaynight league at PorrittStadium.

The small team havebeen active competingin events they do notspecialise in and it haspaid off.
