Te Ope Tuatahi Tawhai Rickard, local artist, speaks with fervour about his artwork that was exhibited recently at ‘Art + Body Studio’. ‘Te Ope Tuatahi’ was an exhibition of works that reflect the psychology of the Maori toward warfare, looking at the period of early contact with Britain and specificaly the Great War of 1915-1919. The beautiful collection of art was titled after a song, ‘Te Ope Tuatahi’, that was composed by Sir Apirana Ngata in 1916 to promote the enlistment of Maori Soldiers during the First World War. “As this is the centennial year of the start of the First World War, I thought it appropriate to tell our story from a Maori view point,” explains Tawhai. The exhibition touched on areas such as appropriation, duty; loyalty to God, King and Country as well as the famous Maori fighting zeal. The works examine the coexistence and fusion of the two founding cultures of our country using symbolism, narratives and old world aesthetics. “I like to use old world aesthetics to tell our stories, after all history is created all the time. In a sense one hour ago has gone the same way as one hundred years ago when you think about it; Maori have always adhered to the concept of looking back to move foward in a sort of retrospective progression,” says Tawhai. One of the works that was included in the exhibition is titled ‘Amohia te Rakau o te Torona’ which loosley translated means 'to shoulder the burden of the Empire', Tawhai explains this further...“It is a narrative that echos what this exhibition was about and that is the shared struggle of our Maori and Pakeha ancestors for the liberation of the world.”

Tawhai’s style hearkens back to the figurative folk art paintings of one of his Whare Tipuna ‘Hinetapora’ located about 2.5km east of the Ruatoria township. "I love the spirituality of these paintings that I have known since childhood, with their abstract styling and expressive and timeless look.” He uses the nature of these early 19th Century works to stir his imagination when painting. Tawhai talks of his painting style; “I find when it comes to painting this style, it doesnt pay to painstake over its execution but to just lay on out there and let the work form itself; just be bold with it and it always comes through like a faithfull friend. I love the process of painting in this style because it simply unfolds before your eyes.” Tawhai cottoned on to this style In 1996, only to lay it to rest about a year later, for reasons he says he dosen’t understand. “Whoever purchased my painting titled ‘Paikea – The Ghost and the Whale’ back in 1997 from the late Jim Vivieaere’s Auckland gallery may prove to have something quite special in time.”
Last year Tawhai took up the style again and on the 150th commemoration of the Battle of Gate Pa he entered an art work titled ‘Pekerangi’ into the commemorative art exhibition and won the overall prize. ‘Pekerangi’ was purchased by Holland Beckett Lawyers Law Firm and holds pride of place in their workspace in ‘The Hub’ building in Tauranga. Tawhai extends his gratitude; “ I would like to thank Julie Paama- Pengelly and staff for generously inviting me to exhibit at their beautiful gallery space. I would also like to thank my whanau here and back in Ngati Porou, my wife and fellow artist, Tania Lewis-Rickard, and our children Wiremu and Shalom for their love and support.” Tawhai’s exhibition ‘Te Ope Tuatahi’ at ‘Art + Body Studio’ finishes on July 2, but his artwork is also included in Part 1 of Creative Tauranga’s current exhibition ‘Mid Winter Summer’ which runs through to July 10.

Blooming Creatives
SCOTT BOARDMAN Films and film making are of interest to me, which is where I get a lot of my inspiration and ideas from I guess. When I graduate I want to go and work for Weta Workshop in Wellington. From there, my goal is to start a business and work for myself in the film-making field. Since I realised how much of a connection it has to filming, I have become very keen on photography. While studying I have been involved in a few filming projects with some other students from the course which has been very helpful in gaining knowledge and confidence. The students on the BCI have a broad range of experience in different areas and we all learn and bounce ideas off each other. I trained and qualified as a furniture maker, and as part of one of the papers for our core class last year we had to make a 3D model, showing an artistic approach to a site that we were given.
So my skills were put to use here and my response was both practical and creative. I really enjoyed making the model, which I did using materials from around the house. The model was shown at Ignition Gallery last year and recently this year it was shown at an art talk in Baycourt Community and Art Centre, which I was very proud of.
I decided to study on the Bachelor of Creative Industries course (BCI) after completing my first year at the Bay of Plenty Polytechnic Windermere campus, studying the Certificate in Computer Graphic Design Level 4 course. I really enjoyed it, and when I heard about the BCI course and what it had to offer I knew that it was too good an opportunity to pass up. That proved to be the case and I haven’t looked back. The amount of different skills that you are able to learn if you are intending to work in the creative arena is huge. I’m now majoring in Visual Arts, and have also taken papers in Graphic Design, Printmaking, Collaborative projects and the Core classes on offer.

DIRECTING THE DIVAS
Liz French
Pride, a fantastic sense of achievement and the privilege of working with an amazing team, well and truly offset the sleep deprivation for Tarnished Frocks and Divas 2015 show Director, Marilyn Collins-Smith. Marilyn is a seasoned performer who steps up to Director from her role as Associate Director in 2013. She holds the distinction of playing the only ‘man’ in the 2011 show where she says, “I discovered the magic that is Tarnished Frocks and Divas. I was then very fortunate to become Associate Director and learn from the very talented director, Vanessa Byrnes.” Marilyn also had a brief but very dramatic cameo in the 2013 show, A Fabulous Journey of Discovery, when she burst onto the stage as Boadicea. “It fed my addiction for the stage,” she laughs, acknowledging she will be too busy for that this year. “However I’m going to be right there with every single cast and crew member; we’re a family and I’ll be bursting with pride on opening night.” “Responsibility,” says Marilyn when asked how it differs to be Director, a role she feels is a unique directing experience. “The journey for anyone involved in Tarnished Frocks and Divas is an unparalleled experience. We blossom and grow together and develop a special bond. That shows on stage.”
HER PASSION, HER LIFE
VISUAL SPECTACULAR
Marilyn knows a good cast when she sees one. She has been a performer for years, mainly within musical theatre, street and children’s theatre; has done corporate gigs and a couple of band collaborations. She had a role in the movie, ‘The Z Nail Gang’, and was emcee in the much acclaimed local production of Cabaret. “Performing and creativity is what makes me tick; it’s my passion and my life.”
For the 2015 show, A Tangled Thread, Marilyn promises a visually spectacular extravaganza within the unique formula that makes TFandD such a beloved locally produced show. “The audience can expect some surprises and will be thoroughly entertained by a team of exceptionally talented people.”
She is also creative in her career in advertising and marketing, extending her graphics background to visualizing the stage and scenes, working on technical aspects and expanding her knowledge. “Working with the TFandD development team has been an amazing experience, each bringing their talent to the creation of the show, all collaborating with camaraderie and respect to deliver the best experience to the audience that we can.”
It’s not only the audience who will relish the special theatrical experience that has become a local ‘icon’. Cast and crew will come away from it exhausted and exhilarated by their journey. “Tarnished Frocks and Divas offers growth, friendship, support and respect that I have not experienced on any other platform,” says Marilyn. “It opens unexpected doors and opportunities along with the fantastic sense of achievement. I am very proud to be part of it.” Tarnished Frocks and Divas 'A Tangled Thread', 16-19 September 2015, ASB Arena. Tickets on sale now at eventfinda.co.nz and Creative Tauranga
Marilyn is proud of both her seasoned performers and those new to the stage. “We have an amazing cast – from our well known stars, Jackie Clarke and Annie Crummer and our experienced and talented local principal singers, Porina McLeod and Delaney Ututaonga – to our loyal cast, all of whom blew us away at auditions with their talent, enthusiasm and willingness."
“We have a wonderful cast of mighty fine women who will bring their charm to the show.”

Tauranga Libraries A recent visit to Tauranga Library by Dame Lynley Dodd had me thinking about inspiration and how much my early inspirations have informed my life. From a young age I was a big fan of picture books. I treasured them not for their stories necessarily, but for the detailed worlds that seemed to spill from their pages. I was a visual kid who would pour over every detail of a scene and be able to tell you exactly what was happening without reading a word. Hairy Maclary was an early favourite of mine because of the way Lynley’s characters bounded around my most ideal version of New Zealand – one composed of endless summer days, ending with ice creams from Donaldson’s dairy. I’d get lost in the pages, lingering on each illustration for far longer than necessary. I couldn’t have known at the time that these small moments would stick so strongly in my memory and most strongly inform what I do today. I have since studied illustration at university and it was a thrill to meet somebody who inspired so much of my passion for visual

INSPIRATION story-telling. Lynley didn’t come to see me though, and it was the reaction she got from the young children visiting that was a real joy to see. The children’s area was packed with fans, young and old, and it was neat to think that some of the children visiting might be as inspired by Hairy Maclary and his creator as I was. That’s the magic of the library and why I enjoy working here so much. Creativity and Imagination are perhaps the most important investments that we can foster in our children, to best equip them for the world they will inherit. I’ve always liked the phrase, ‘Imagination should be used, not to escape reality, but to create it’; I think that imagination is essential in creating a better place to live and I can’t think of a place more equipped to inspire imagination than the library. The school holidays are just days away and we are bracing ourselves, once again, for a busy few weeks. Our July holiday programme is Matariki themed and provides plenty of opportunities for

creativity - and to learn about an important cultural event. Workshops will involve the creation of whetu/masks, tiki/figures, pōtaka/spinning tops or porotiti/spinning discs, based on stories and songs. There will also be a 3-D design class for older children to learn about the process of designing and printing in 3-D. 3-D printing will change the way we create, invent and manufacture and it is always exciting to see future adaptors of the technology discover it for the first time. School holidays are regular reminders of why the library is so important and I’d encourage any parent to get their kids involved. If you visit Tauranga City Libraries, smiling children are hard to avoid. Our toddler time programme runs year-round and school visits are a regular part of the day (there are quiet places to read, but sometimes not many). The children’s area is a place bursting with activity and an engine room for the imagination – and I love it.
THE THING ABOUT ‘BRYDIE PHOTOGRAPHY’ Written by Hannah Drew, Images by Brydie Photography Brydie captures all of the special moments at ‘The Little Big Markets’, ‘Dinner in the Domain’, ‘Food Truck Friday’ and so much more! Next time you see her fix up your hair, straighten yourself out and give her a smile. But for now let’s find out a little bit about the woman behind the camera.
Tell us a little bit about who and what inspires you . . .
People who push limits and get outside comfort zones whether it be with a camera, mountain bike, kayak, surfboard or general ‘can do’ attitude to life. Mostly though I’m inspired by how children see the world. Their honesty, quirkiness, joy and imagination is a constant reminder to stop, ponder and realise how magical life can be if you take the time to really notice things. I guess, in a way my camera allows me to be a kid again. How did you get involved with Little Big Events and what do you they mean to you? I’ve wandered around The Little Big Markets since day one. I love the concept of supporting local, celebrating creative skill and bringing community together, in a fun and vibrant way. I help a friend out with The Amazing Travelling Photobooth and met Rachelle & Chris while joining in the Vintage Market. They’re such an inspiring couple. Their motivation, skill, hard work and caring attitude is changing our local community for the better. I’m enjoying all the Little Big Events!
What’s your vision for 2015 and beyond? Keep learning, growing my business and sharing my images. I’ve got a few exciting projects on the go at the moment. I’m obsessed with photography and there’s rarely a day that passes that I don’t take photos. Still though, if there’s any truth in Malcolm Gladwell’s ten thousand hours theory I’ve still got a way to go yet! What makes you unique? There’s hundreds of incredible photographers in NZ and I love seeing diversity of styles. My approach is old school. I began in the days of film and spent hours in darkrooms mesmerized by images emerging from smelly chemicals. I’ve worked in newspapers and magazines and this documentary background has shaped my style. I’ve a minimal gear approach and can ninja around an event at times going unnoticed. This suits my shy personality and I enjoy the natural results. It’s all about capturing the smallest of interactions that can mean so much. How do you keep up with creative going ons? Creative Tauranga and Creative Beat Magazine is a wealth of information! Also through community newspapers, friends and Instagram & Facebook updates. Scratch beneath the surface and there’s always something awesome going on locally. Check out Brydie’s amazing handy work at www.littlebigevents.co.nz

White Bronze Moths Take Over Gallery Space The atrium space of the Tauranga Art Gallery has been inhabited by more than 500 white moths, hovering in the space as though having arrived of their own accord. Blending with the white walls, their camouflaged bodies have gently filled the space, tentative in their willingness to be seen, appearing as if this is their natural habitat.
realism. The flock invites you to step into the installation, be immersed and become a part of it,” she says. Elizabeth explains that when she creates them, she starts by spending time drawing and photographing moths. “I look at wings and patterning. For this project, I sculpted about 20 prototypes in wax and took silicon rubber moulds from the wings and bodies. Hot wax is injected into the moulds, and the wings and bodies assembled. Eyes are rolled out of wax and inserted into sockets, and antennae and legs attached,” she says.
In 2011, Wellington-based sculptor Elizabeth Thomson was invited on a voyage with eight other artists to the Kermadec Islands. At night on Raoul Island, she was intrigued by a mass of moths which occupied the buildings they were staying in.
“An angle grinder is used to cut off large sprues, the channel for molten bronze in the casting process, on the undersides of the moths removed. The wings are ground to make them appear thinner and missing antennae and legs are made and welded on.
Remembering the moths of her childhood and aware of this abundance, this tenacity of life but also its fragility, she was inspired to create an immersive environment of her own. This became Invitation to Openness—Substantive and Transitive States, a travelling exhibition developed by The Dowse Art Museum in Lower Hutt.
“Each moth is cleaned, etch-primed and flocked. With this project the subtle patterning requires varied shades of flock being applied at different stages. Each moth is a one-off and has its own character.”
Elizabeth’s elegantly refined works redefine the way we view and consider the inherent beauty of the world around us. All aspects of her practice are meticulous and the technical virtuosity she employs to create the effects of optical illusion are simply breathtaking.
Elizabeth says that the first part of the title Invitation to Openness is taken from
an album by jazz pianist Les McCann recorded in the late 70s - the style is inventive and nocturnal, atmospheric jazz fusion. “I always liked the title. To appreciate the music you have to be prepared to let go and allow the music to wash over you,” she says. “Substantive is of place, the physical. Transitive relates to being conscious of something beyond the physical. The sensation involves a shift from the physical experience of immersion to a psychological feeling of liberation and detachment which equates to transitioning to a higher order of consciousness.” The white moths have a ghostly presence - tangible but elusive, quiet and contemplative, and Elizabeth says she hopes that people will be able to relax into it, and enjoy the exhibition’s detail and openness. The exhibition Elizabeth Thomson, Invitation to Openness—Substantive and Transitive States can be seen at the Tauranga Art Gallery until October 4.
Using an intense observation of nature as her starting point, Elizabeth convincingly recreates botanical, entomological or molecular forms that she then incorporates into surprisingly abstract geometric compositions. “While this arrangement is the biggest moth installation I’ve undertaken, it is more understated in its presentation,” Elizabeth says.

Mid Winter Summer
Exhibitions
Millie Newitt
When I think of the Bay of Plenty, I imagine just that…a place and community of plenty. Plenty of sunshine, beaches, avocados, trees, surf, cafes, jandals and festivals. When June and July come along each year, some of the treats of the summery Bay become less plentiful. A little colder, a little darker, and a little less festive. So we decided to bring Summer back!!! From June 17 – August 10, Friends of Creative Tauranga are bringing warmth, colour and festivity to the Creative Tauranga Community Gallery! Titled and themed “Mid Winter Summer”, this group exhibition is open to the artist’s interpretation. Included are the works of artists across a wide range of mediums. From mixed media, acrylic, oil and photography, to illustration, installation, sculpture and embroidery, this is a truly vibrant and eclectic show. There was no shortage in interest from local artists to exhibit in Mid Winter Summer. Many of the Bay’s talented
and loyal artists who have established themselves in the art world submitted work to be in either Part 1 or Part 2 of this group show. In the first part of Mid Winter Summer you will see works by Miriam Ruberl, Joyce van der Lely, James Atutahi, James Stanbridge, Tawhai Rickard, Sarina Smith, Cat Thompson, Vanessa Locke, Mary Hayward and Alison Brain. Also in Part 1 we have several local emerging artists! Alison Ede representing the New Zealand Association of Miniature Enthusiasts, Evie Batts, Murray Clode, Jaz Bennett, Lynne Dara, Adair Davis, myself – Millie Newitt, and Christine O’Reilly. These artists are all extremely talented in their mediums and we have been blown away by the quality, enthusiasm and variety of their work.
Come on down to the gallery for a burst of Summer and be inspired by the level of artistic talent in our community! There are styles and mediums to suit many tastes. Please contact Millie for more information on Mid Winter Summer, or if you are interested in being involved in future exhibitions! 928 0288 millie@creativetauranga.org.nz

Creative Tauranga Gift Gallery In a room full of wonderfully crafted pottery at the Bethlehem Pottery Club’s recent ‘Celebration of Ceramics’ exhibition we spotted Dorothy Armstrong’s cute little ‘Arty Birds’. With sweet faces and a variety of colours these raku fired pottery pieces are real treasures. It was a pleasure to catch up with Dorothy and learn more about her; a talented artist who creates so beautifully. Dorothy Armstrong’s lifelong love of clay began when she was introduced to it at school as a seven year old. As a child Dorothy dug clay from a bank on the family farm at Morrinsville to make her clay sculptures. After marrying and having three children, she and husband Denis, bought a farm beside the Maketu estuary at Te Puke. Once their children grew older she was able to revive her interest in clay work. Dorothy attended night classes at the Te Puke High School for four years then bought her own kiln and joined the pottery group of the Te Puke Art Society.
A Love For Creating
container of sawdust and shredded paper which bursts into flames. A lid is then put on the container and the smoke and reduction atmosphere create exciting results. “I like the speed of the firing, having some control of the reduction process, and the often unexpected, brilliant results that are possible.” In 2012, sadly, Denis passed away leaving her to manage the orchard and B & B, as well as keeping up her other interests of gardening and music. She has, for many years, played the violin in a Te Puke music group, the Pastoral Players, getting together each week to play for their own pleasure and at times to entertain others. Recently Dorothy joined the Bethlehem Pottery group, enjoying the companionship of other potters, sharing her experience and learning from them.
“There is always something new to learn” "I like to think of my little sculptures as memory joggers. A memento of a great holiday, a good time, a special friend. Therefore they need to be accessible to all." Dorothy’s beautiful clay creations are available at the Creative Tauranga Gift Gallery, and other galleries near and far. She is often commissioned to make a sculpture of a loved family pet. For more information you can contact Dorothy through Creative Tauranga by emailing: reception@creativetauranga.org.nz
She attended many workshops and Summer Schools in the Waikato and Wanganui to broaden her clay skills. In the nineties the members of the Pyromania co-operative invited her to join their group and she spent several years in the company of these wonderful ladies learning the ins and outs of gallery management, the whims of customers’ and a little about the many talented New Zealand artists and crafts people. In 2007 she and Denis sold the farm and came to live in Tauranga, buying an orchard block on the Pukemapu Road. It grows avocados and lemons and has a Bed and Breakfast and a lovely large room just right for a pottery studio. Now there is plenty of room to invite potters, and would be potters, to join her in playing with clay. Dorothy loves making sculptures of the birds, animals and fish around her, trying to give each a character of it’s own. Also taking on the challenge of making sculptures from photos dog-lovers have sent her. Much of her work is raku fired. An exciting process where the piece is taken from the kiln at 1100 degrees and placed in a

New Title from Bryan Winters
The BISHOP, the MULLAH, and the SMARTPHONE The Journey of Two Religions into the Digital Age Presenting religion and technology in a connected world is a
challenge, because connected means linked—and so many social, technical, and economic linkages exist today. No single view tells us what is happening as Christianity and Islam enter the digital age, so the book moves between four Ms—Media, Memory, Mythology, and Mimicry.
Bryan Winters has more than thirty years’ experience in the IT industry. He has lived and worked among Muslims and Christians in Africa, Asia, and Australasia, and now resides in New Zealand.
Readers find that textual media was not always holy, and that Westerners learn more spirituality from the movie theatre today. With the data explosion, we no longer face the problem of remembering—it is now forgetting. Older myths have long been stored in parks or cathedrals, as statues or paintings, but new ones are added by Hollywood or internet bloggers. As for mimicking competitors, well that is a proven business strategy, so we can hardly criticize religions for it. This general readership book swerves up and down those connected alleyways, making sense of current and bygone tales. You see, half of the planet is registered under these two faith brands, and they’re being herded into an information technology society whether they want it or not. A lot of that process is hurtful, which partly explains why some believers hurt others.
Interview with the author Is religion interesting to write about? Actually it’s fascinating, but I recognize many still feel threatened by any discussion of it. Mind you, that’s changing, with all the press beliefs receive today. Faith has the potential to bring out the best and the worst in us. That’s the interesting part. Modern religious adherents love using the term ‘spirituality’—this is a book on religions. Is the digital world really such a big deal? A Chinese emperor was said to have rewarded the inventor of chess with anything he wanted. The chess player asked for a grain of rice on the first square of the board, to be doubled to two grains on the next, and so on to all 64 squares. It’s only after the middle of the board that the total reaches staggering amounts. There is a saying today about the digital world—so far we’ve only seen the first half of the chess board. Will Muslims read the book? I hope so, I really do. I was fortunate enough to have the entire work combed and corrected by a thinker and reader from that faith background. One could also ask whether Christians will read it because we delve into questionable areas there too. Perhaps the secular demographic will be the best target market after all.

TEDxTauranga Think,Thrive,Transform Jody Hopkinson
One of the speakers at TEDxTauranga is Ellis Bryers. In his bio he says: He toa taku tini taku toa. Ehara te toa taki tahi which means in English: Mine is not the strength of one but the strength of many. This saying describes the TEDx Talk concept quite well. TEDx Talks are organised by volunteers where people come together to share their stories and ideas to help the audience to collectively think and grow. This year, TEDxTauranga is on Saturday July 25th at Baypark Arena from 10am – 7pm. Eight speakers will present their 12 – 15 minute talks around the theme of Think, Thrive, Transform. And with 1000 people expected to attend, this year will be the local event’s third and biggest yet. TEDx Talks events have grown out of the TEDx movement where people tell their stories in an engaging way. This year’s event mixes up speakers from NZer of the Year Sir Ray Avery through to a nutritionist who claims to be able to stop you farting for life. This inspirational event is not one to be missed, and tickets will sell out. Along with the speakers there will be entertainment. The speakers are: Sir Ray Avery, a leading New Zealand scientist, innovator and inventor. The NZer of the Year in 2010, Sir Avery’s inventions include: • Acuset IV Flow Controller: A device that facilitates the safe administration of potent IV drugs • Lifepod infant incubator: A hightech low-cost incubator that uses patentable technology to reduce the mortality rates associated with upper respiratory tract infections of premature babies • Proteinforte: An amino acid based functional food used for the treatment and prevention of protein-energy malnutrition. Ellis Bryers is the Director of Mihi Engagement - which designs and delivers training in Maori cultural awareness. Ellis’ vision is of a nation where Maori cultural practices are understood and utilised daily by both Maori and non-Maori in a way that unifies our nation and builds our cultural identity as New Zealanders. He is of Nga Puhi descent and lives in Tauranga with his wife Anne and son Te Arai.

plays delve into matters of everyday life and everyday relationships, with wonderfully exciting twists. The season runs from 26th August to 12th September. The 16th Avenue Theatre Playgroup have some great social events planned for the year! Gin Mabey’s open play reading of her new script was a great success. Open play readings are a great way of seeing some live theatre in a relaxed, informal fashion, where actors read from a script but are free to put their creative flair into their elected roles. This makes for a spontaneous and sometimes surprising way of viewing theatre.

“I”, am a writer. I “am”, a writer. I am a “writer”. Depending on where the emphasis is placed changes some of the meaning, but however you look at it and wherever you place the emphasis, it still means much the same.
Stephen Whitwell
I wanted to help people live life better, I wanted to encourage them, and in less than 1,000 words put something into their hands that would inspire them for another lap of the course of life.
The fact is, here I am gathering speed down a slippery slope towards completing six decades on this earth, and its only in recent years I could bring myself to say that.
Roll on a few years and without warning a massive heart attack nearly took me out. Thankfully it was not final or fatal. I wrote a Brief Word about it and sent it into the big wide cyber-world. The response was immediate from all over the world.
Most of you like me are many things in life – I’m a husband, father, grandfather, and also coffee and good food lover, petrolhead, keen traveller, pastor, reader and a lover of the simple things of life. But too often our work defines us, and we think that what we derive our income from is who we are and to a large extent that’s true. But there’s much more to us than our work.
Shortly after that, the thought came into my mind, this could be a book! And so I began. While recovering from my heart attack and on days and moments when my mind was lucid and sharp, I wrote, and wrote, and wrote some more. It was an amazing experience. My book “Seven Lessons From A Near-Death Experience” was the fruit of that time.
Over the years I discovered I loved writing, which is strange as I just sneaked through my school cert exam with a 50% pass in English! In my work I would write whenever I got a chance. I wrote teaching manuals, letters, presentations, and articles for the local papers (I never ever turned down an invitation to write an article). But the journey for me to accept that “I am a writer” has not been an easy one. I never considered myself an artist in any way shape of form (you’ll agree if you saw some of my artwork!). I did learn music as a child and loved that but haven’t pursued it in adult life.
I felt at times it was like water pouring over the Huka Falls (The Huka Falls are near the source of the Waikato River, Taupo) and I couldn’t keep up, I couldn’t type as fast as the words were in my heart and mind. I love my wife and family, I love what I do in my work as a pastor and everything else that I am. But this thing, this thing that I am, a writer, I have found is part of who I am, it is my identity. Now I can accept, that I am an artist, a creative. I may not paint, or sculpt, or build artworks from steel, but, “I am a writer”.
A writer though is an artist, and that revelation has dawned on this aging mind rather late, but not too late thankfully. Since I have been able to say to myself first then others that “I am a writer”, I’ve found it incredibly liberating. When you know something of who you are and what makes you tick, you can accept it, give time to it and learn about it to become better at it. Years ago I had a dream of producing short written articles on folded A4 that could be displayed for free. It was a great idea, but didn’t come to anything. Years later, enter the internet. I wrote a short eLetter called Brief Word and sent it to a few friends and family, inviting them to sign up to receive it regularly. The fear of rejection waiting for replies was massive! But, a few were kind enough to sign up. My mailing list has grown over the last seven years and Brief Word now goes worldwide.

Belinda McCallion: Teaching what’s worthwhile through words and pictures Belinda McCallion is a woman with a vision. She says, “I want to produce stories for children that will reflect and enrich their daily living and how they walk with God.” A major undertaking for this dedicated member of Tauranga Christian Writers, who is also one of the local Words & Pictures group formed with the intent of getting writer-illustrators published. Belinda is their first success story, inspiring others. She worked as an Early Childhood Educator before she became a stay-athome mum when her youngest child was born. Her lifelong dream has been to become a writer and Illustrator for children, and she began to put that dream into action by completing a ‘Writing for Children’ diploma course.
The story still has to intrigue and interest them, and the message is often subliminal. Belinda’s talent with this book has been in creating on the pages a real-life situation that children can easily identify with, that makes them smile as well as making them think. Knowing we are loved means we are able to be loving in return. That fits in well with the concept of arohanui, and makes Am I Precious? of relevance whether it is read at home, at Sunday school or in the classroom.
Literary Trailblazers
Belinda’s first book will not be her last, and her writing is now expanding into other spheres, including teaching resources for Bible study. Her purpose was specific and difficult, and Am I Precious? is the first title in a ground-breaking series. So yes, with devotion and with dedication – and some good hard graft – Belinda McCallion has proved that you can make dreams come true. Am I Precious? is available from Creative Tauranga, through local bookshops @ $10 (ISBN 978-099411-17-840) or online from Amazon.
Now her first book Am I Precious? is in print with Lang Publishing (New Zealand) and a follow up title Am I the Man? Is in the making. The illustrations by Belinda feature family and friends, and add greatly to the success of her narrative. What is it about? “Every young girl has a question that haunts her,” explains the author. "Am I precious? This question is usually silent, a question she asks of everyone she knows, through different actions. The young girl in this story is no different. She asks family, friends and a teacher, hoping they will confirm that she is precious.” Belinda pauses and smiles. “She doesn’t always get the answer she wants, but when she takes her question to God, His answer is always the same: ‘Yes. You are precious and I love you.’ Helping young readers to understand they can get answers to the big questions they ask is what motivates me.” Though Jesus himself was a storyteller, using His parables to convey His truths, putting the Christian message into stories for children is no easy task.

For everyone attending Farmers Markets throughout New Zealand as stallholders, the month of July is an exciting time with the announcement of the winners in the annual FMNZ Producers Awards. These national awards are a time for recognition as producers put forward their fresh vegetables, fruits and artisan foods for judging. We still have another six weeks before we start to see the change in the day light hours. There are still plenty of cauliflowers, broccoli and pumpkin around. Silver beet, kale and a range of Asian leaf greens are freshly cut. Carrots and kumara will be freshly dug. A welcome fruit is that of the new season oranges which gain momentum in supplies throughout July. Lemons and limes are all packed with the much needed vitamin C to ward off the winter bugs. So are tamarillos. A perfect match to these is the native honeys from the family owned business of Kaimai Range Honey. This honey is exclusive to this Market as the bulk of it is exported to Asia and Europe. In the flower stalls we see the arrival of Emerald Orchids. Beautiful large stems in different colours, as well as single orchid flowers. Statice and Snap Dragons arrive and Bird of Paradise and Lilies continue on to brighten our days. In winter pies can be a real hearty delight, you don’t always have to use pastry or meat. Smokey Seafoods from Katikati naturally hot smokes their variety of sea foods with manuka woodchips. ‘Clean’ eating means this fish has no artificial additives; no sugar is added to the smoking and therefore it is gluten free. The fish is filleted and pin boned, allowing for a very family friendly product.
