Local recognised as an ‘unsung hero’

Big day out for ‘buddies’ raises abuse awareness

W Centre’s Â

haingaroa  Environment  child-­sized,  cardboard  ‘buddies’  had  a  great  day  last  week  –  helping  to  plant  a  garden  and  making  the  most  of  photo  opportunities  in  town.

There  were  other  buddies  around  town  too,  sitting  on  a  bench  outside  Trade  Aid  for  instance,  catching  the  attention  of  passers-­by.  In  fact  Raglan  Community  House  registered  16  buddies  in  all  to  help  celebrate  national  Buddy  Day,  and  raise  awareness  about  the  role  every  adult  plays  in  preventing  child  abuse.

Each  buddy  came  complete  with  a  little  book  telling  its  own  story,  including  its  likes  and  dislikes.  And  it  was  up  to  the  buddies’  carers  –  real  people  from  businesses  and  organisations  such  as  the  local  postshop,  bank,  real  estate  and  Plunket  –  to  parade  their  buddies  in  the  street. “Children  can’t  prevent  child  abuse  –  but  adults  can,�  was  the  message  behind  the  exercise.

The  special  day  is  promoted  by  Child  Matters  charitable  trust  and  is  New  Zealand’s  only  community  event  aimed  at  looking  out  for  Kiwi  kids,  albeit  with  a  somewhat  novel  approach. “It  takes  a  community  to  protect  and  look  after  children,â€?  says  local  community  house  co-­ordinator  Chrissy  Hodkinson,  pointing  out  it’s  WKH ÂżUVW \HDU 5DJODQÂśV EHHQ LQYROYHG with  the  cause.

Raglan  Area  School  students  also  played  a  part  by  decorating  the  cardboard  buddies  before  they  ventured  into  town  with  their  carers  for  the  awareness-­raising  day  out.    Edith  Symes Community House grateful for local support: Thanks  to  support  from  students  at  Te  Uku  school  and  Raglan  area  school  on  participating  in  creating  the  buddies  (with  the  assistance  of  the  SWiS  Hineoma  Paekau  Rush)  and  the  support  from  local  businesses  who  cared  for  our  buddies.    RCH Â

things  to  be  done,�  she  added,  acknowledging  the  teamwork  at  the  community  house  where  she’s  been  co-­ordinator  four  years  now.

Mayor  Sanson  initiated  the  awards  to  formally  recognise  the  “above  and  beyond�  contribution  each  recipient  makes  on  behalf  of  their  community.   “So  often  these  unsung  heroes  go  about  their  business  quietly,  not  seeking  recognition  or  the  limelight,  when  they  should  be  thanked  and  acknowledged  for  their  amazing  efforts  to  improve  their  community.� *Catch  the  White  Ribbon  Ride  event  downtown  tomorrow,  Friday  November  22,  from  10am  to  1pm.   Everyone  welcome.

Community has a week to have say on new liquor outlet

A Â

new  liquor  outlet  is  planned  for  the  former  Burger  Shack  premises  in  Bow  Street  –  and  anyone  concerned  about  it  has  until  28th  November  (Thursday)  to  lodge  an  objection  with  Waikato  District  Council’s  district  licensing  agency.

Raglan  Community  House  co-­ ordinator  Chrissy  Hodkinson  raised  the  alarm  this  week  over  Venus  NZ  Limited’s  application  for  a  liquor  licence  for  the  venture,  to  be  named  Bow  Street  Liquor,  saying  she  did  not  personally  believe  Raglan  needed  another  alcohol  outlet.

In  a  widely  circulated  email,  she  said  the  work  of  the  Raglan  Community  Violence  and  Prevention  Group  showed  domestic  violence  was  of  considerable  concern  here  –  and  much  of  that  violence  was  fuelled  by  alcohol.

There  were  already  three  retail Â

liquor  outlets  in  town,  and  the  replacement  Four  Square  store  would  also  presumably  apply  for  licence.

Miss Reilly gained NCEA Level 2 endorsed with Excellence by achieving 113 excellence grades of her total 134 credits. This achievement sits well above the national average;; the participation level needed to achieve NCEA Level 2 is 60 credits.

She also achieved a 100 per cent GPA in English, chemistry and physical education.

In 2011, as a year 11 student, Miss 5HLOO\ FRPSOHWHG ¿YH &DPEULGJH IGCSE subjects and in three of these subjects gained 90 per cent and above in her results. She also impressively gained NCEA Level One endorsed with Excellence.

Mr Lander explained that Miss Reilly is on track to gain her NCEA Level 3 endorsed with Excellence and will most likely gain real success in her three Scholarship Examination subjects of biology, chemistry and English.

“Jessica’s results in both her NCEA Level 3 and Scholarship Examinations will be an amazing, but not a surprising, achievement given her extensive leadership and co-­ curricular responsibilities within the school,” Mr Lander said.

“Her maturity, intrinsic motivation and time management skills are some of the best that I have seen. She has an exceptional work ethic and this, combined with her natural academic ability, would make her one of the country’s most talented all-­round young women.”

Dawn Marron (second from left) on UK talent show 'Stars in their Eyes'.

S

he’s  had  stars  in  her  eyes  and  danced  on  West  End  stages,  but  now  Dawn  Marron  teaches  a  dozen  or  so  local  kids  street  dancing  in  a  Raglan  hall  every  Monday  after  school.

The  new  Raglan  resident’s  also  got  DQ DGXOW GDQFH ÂżWQHVV FODVV RQ WKH JR and  it’s  “quite  crazyâ€?,  she  admits,  to  have  gone  from  the  bright  footlights  of  London  to  teaching  70  or  80  at  a  time  in  her  old  Hamilton  studio  Born  to  Dance  and  now  on  to  her  kids  classes  and  the  handful  of  older  locals  she  encourages  along  to  –  well  –  “celebrateâ€?. “I’m  a  really  high  energy  person,â€?  VKH FRQÂżGHV WR WKH &KURQLFOH Âł$QG here  at  the  moment,  taking  say  seven  (in  a  class),  I  have  to  change  down  four  gears.â€?  But  that’s  okay.  She’s  loving  it.  “Dance  is  a  whole  energy  thing,â€?  Dawn  explains,  promising  what  she  calls  the  ordinary  person  a  great  time  if  only  they’ll  give  it  a  go. “It’s  like  going  out  on  a  Friday  night  ‌  and  having  fun!â€?

For  both  the  adults  and  the  children’s  classes,  Dawn’s  strong  on  artistic  freedom.  The  music’s  loud  and  pumping,  she’s  up  the  front  of  St  Peter’s  church  hall  showing  the  steps  but  each  person  puts  their  own  ³ÀDYRXU´ LQWR LW “Who  am  I  to  tell  anyone  they’re  doing  it  wrong?â€?

Despite  being  a  professional  dancer,  Dawn  teaches  all  performance  art  including  voice  and  theatre.  “I  use  what  I  know  and  am  able  to  do  to  enrich  a  community,�  she  says,  and  right  now  her  focus  is  Raglan.

Having  all  but  burnt  out  back  in  her  Hamilton  studio  a  couple  of  years Â

ago  while  teaching  everything  from  burlesque  to  jazz,  Dawn  came  to  Raglan  to  recuperate.  “I  literally  closed  myself  off  and  replenished.â€?  That  was  18  months  ago.  Now  the  44-­year  old  reckons  she’s  ³RYHUĂ€RZLQJ´ DJDLQ DQG QHHGV WR share,  thanks  to  the  healing  power  of  Raglan.  “Communities  that  share  music  are  strengthened  and  enriched,â€?  she  says.

Dawn’s  not  only  teaching  dance  downtown  but  also  putting  the  word  out  there  for  some  sort  of  community  musical  performance  group  to  evolve.  And  she’s  recently  volunteered  several  hours  a  week  to  Raglan  Area  School  teaching  performance  art.

She’s  here  with  her  family  –  a  partner,  three  children,  two  dogs  –  and  loves  the  lifestyle.  Six  years  ago  they  all  “jumped  with  both  feet�  and  emigrated  from  the  UK,  to  see  what  would  happen.  And  yes,  Dawn’s  been  in  the  limelight  a  little  more  than  most.  Aside  from  her  West  End  appearances  she  also  once  impersonated  Canadian  country  pop  singer  Shania  Twain  in  the  British  version  of  the  television  talent  show  ‘Stars  in  Their  Eyes’.  Wearing  tailor-­made  leather  thigh  boots  with  top  hat  and  cane,  she  reckons  she  had  a  ball  with  her  rendition  of  ‘Man!  I  Feel  Like  a  Woman’.

But  now  it’s  Dawn  of  a  new  era,  and  it’s  all  about  sharing  her  myriad  skills  half  a  world  away.
