Biography
Hohepa started with the EITSA Rugby League club in 2004, then going on to make the provincial Hawke's Bay Unicorns side. That same year he had a stand out tournament along with Troy Savage at the National Maori tournament. Both of them getting selected and catching the eye of Rugby League legend and player recruitment officer at the Sydney Roosters, Arthur Beetson.

Hohepa got contracted to the Sydney Roosters for the 2005 season, but spent a year playing in the Bartercard cup for the Central Falcons. He struggled that year with a serious knee injury.

Hohepa then spent the next three years with the Sydney Roosters, the first couple marred by his recurring knee injury, playing largely for feeder club Newtown. He continued to impress and cemented himself as a regular starter in the loose forward role, quite often receving player of the day awards. He made his representative debut with a berth in the NZ Maori side against the All Golds at the end of 2008.

Hohepa has featured in a couple first grade games for 2009. He is the first player from Hawke's Bay in recent history to play first grade.

Melbourne Storm comments: One of the fittest players at the club. A quick learner, Cahill will place pressure on established members of the Storm’s pack this season, with a regular first grade spot his goal.

News about Aretha
DETROIT (Reuters) - Soul singer Aretha Franklin, who recently underwent surgery for an undisclosed health issue, was reported to be suffering from pancreatic cancer, the Detroit News said on its web site.

Publicists for the 68-year-old singer, who has canceled all her appearances through May 2011, could not immediately be reached for comment.

The Detroit News report Wednesday cited a source familiar with the situation for the cancer diagnosis, an illness which the report pointed out has a poor prognosis.

Separately, the Fox television station in Detroit reported the same diagnosis for the "Queen of Soul," citing a close relative as the source. The report said she was doing "OK."

After the surgery, Franklin released a statement Dec. 2 that she had undergone "highly successful surgery" but did not disclose the nature of her illness.

The legendary singer of 1960s hits like "Chain of Fools" and "Respect" had continued a busy schedule of touring and recording until late October.

In January 2009, she sang at the inauguration of U.S. President Barack Obama. (Writing by Andrew Stern, editing by Greg McCune)

1. Featured Artist
ZIMMERMAN profiles a different exhibiting artist each month. This month's featured artist is Wellington painter Cam
Munroe.
Born in Melbourne in 1972, Cam Munroe is a graduate of Sydney’s Meadowbank School of Art and Design. After
collecting a number of art awards in Australia, Cam moved to New Zealand in 1994.
Cam’s unique pictorial language is comprised of
juxtaposed shapes, symbols and markings.
Simultaneously strange yet familiar, recurring motifs in
her work derive from legend, history and belief systems.
The artist’s restricted tonal palette serves to accentuate
the significance of these cryptic markings: why are they
there, and what – if anything - do they mean?
Reminiscent of prehistoric petroglyphs (rock
engravings), perhaps the markings have obscure cultural
or religious significance: recording and conveying
information for beings – human or extraterrestrial – able
to interpret what they mean. Or perhaps they are simply
aesthetic objects, symbolizing nothing and intended
purely for visual enjoyment.
There seems little in each work’s title to aid viewers in
interpretation - even a familiar language such as English
appears inadequate to translate what each work has to
say.
Yet this is an artist intent on communicating – even cardboard and trash bin lids become canvases for what Cam
feels compelled to paint. With work already in many collections throughout New Zealand and Australia, Cam is
steadily building an artistic reputation in her adopted country.
Pictured above is “Slumber” (Acrylic and mixed media on canvas, measuring 760 x 760mm, $1,500).
2. Neighbourhood news
ZIMMERMAN highlights in this section news and events in Palmerston North's visual arts hub (from Square Edge to Te
Manawa, and within the George & Coleman Quarter). You're welcome to submit news for inclusion in this section.
* Café Cuba was purchased last week by Steve Lang - former owner of Tony’s Tyre Service, and currently
co-owner of Dockside restaurant in Wellington.
* Mao Bar was also sold this month, with the new owner set to take possession on 16 December.
* On display at Café Express until mid-February are works by local artist Katrina Pereka (Koruka Art).
* From 10 to 24 December, Thermostat Art Gallery is exhibiting paintings by Angela Lane and collage works
by JK Russ. (Note: Thermostat will close at 4pm on 24 December, and re-open on 25 February).
* At Taylor Jensen until 24 December is an exhibition by Palmerston North’s Annabel Neall - “Figures in
Abstraction, Recent Paintings by Annabel Neall”. (Note: Taylor Jensen will be closed from 25 December to 3
January).
* Santa's Cave, hosted by Farmers for the past 90 years, is now at Te Manawa. Santa will be at the cave on
Tuesdays to Thursdays (3.30 - 5 pm), and on Saturdays and Sundays (11am - 2pm), up until Christmas Eve.
3. ’Tis the season
While Christmas is about so much more than giving and receiving presents, most of us will still be considering
what gifts to buy our loved ones. Here a few suggestions for affordable gifts at ZIMMERMAN (all under $100):
* Prakash Patel’s panels, at $85 each, make for a unique and easily transportable gift, for family and friends
both here and overseas. A feature work in the gallery since opening in April, the panels have continued to be a
source of inspiration and pleasure.
* A gift voucher allows your family and friends to acquire works of their choosing. Vouchers are available from
ZIMMERMAN to any value of your choice.
* Art enthusiasts will appreciate receiving books by or about artists. ZIMMERMAN currently has a number of
new art titles in stock, as well as some longstanding favourites. Here’s a small selection:
- The popular “How to Look at a Painting” by Justin Paton is a thoughtful gift sure to enjoyed by the
recipient. This engaging book is both informative and entertaining, and won the 2006 Montana Book
Award for Contemporary Culture. The book has also inspired a 12-part television series, fronted by Justin
Paton and set to be screened by TVNZ in the (hopefully) not-too-distant future. The book is available from
ZIMMERMAN in both soft and hard cover form ($25 and $35 respectively).
- “New Zealand Art from Cook to Contemporary” ($49.99) was published this year by Te Papa. As noted in
the book’s introduction, the work “guides the reader on a journey through an engaging selection of works
from the national collection held at the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa. The selection includes
some of the collection’s best loved and most significant works and reflects the progression of New Zealand
art”. From classic painters such as Charles Goldie to contemporary artists such as Palmerston North’s own
Shane Cotton, a reproduction of each work is accompanied by a short essay by selected art writers.
- An inspiring collection of New Zealand art work is attractively presented in “Real Art Roadshow: The
Book” ($80). All works profiled in this book are physically housed in two trucks, which are used to take the
collection to secondary schools throughout New Zealand. Profiling the works of artists such as Nigel Brown,
John Reynolds, Judy Darragh, and Seraphine Pick, this hardcover book is far more than just a decorative
coffee-table item.
4. Update on Public Artworks
The Arts Trail Guide being compiled by Bronwyn is currently with the publishers, and is set for release before
Christmas. Meantime, in the course of compiling the Guide, Bronwyn made a number of “discoveries” of work in
plain view (when you know where to look). Among the discoveries were the works inside The Cathedral of the
Holy Spirit (open to the public every day, between 9am and 5.30pm).
High in the main walls of the Cathedral are 10 stained glass windows from the studios of FX Zettler of Munich.
Each window depicts a parable from the gospel of Luke – the Vineyard, the Sower, the Good Samaritan, the Barren
Tree, the Good Shepherd, the Prodigal Son, the Rich Man and Lazarus, the Pharisee and the Publican, the Rich
Young Man and the Talents.
Further into the Cathedral, in a small area dedicated
to the Virgin Mary and know as the “Lady Chapel”, are
a series of stained glass windows by Harry Clark
Studios of Dublin. The studio is famous for its
delicate design works, rich colors and filigree style
paintwork.
In 2003, a further stained glass window was added to
the Lady Chapel: “The Annunciation”, designed and
installed by a New Zealand artist, Graham Stewart of
Rangiora.
Also in the Lady Chapel is a large kauri carving of the
Madonna and child (see opposite), by local artist John
Feldberg of Rongotea. The work was commissioned
by the late Professor GB and Mrs Dorothy Harrison,
maternal grandparents of local artist and art critic,
Fran Dibble. Modeled on a painting by 19th century
Italian artist, Domenico Morelli, the work is intended
to capture a joyful and realistic depiction of
motherhood.
Also crafted in wood, a total of 25 carvings were gifted
to the Cathedral by six Maori tribal groups as an
expression of their Christian faith. One carving is in
the foyer, two are mounted on the Cathedra (Bishop’s
chair), and the remaining 22 are attached to the ends
of pews. Depicting figures from the Old and New
Testaments, the carvers of these works were Rua
Cribb, Maihi Teira, Mel Manu and George Waretini.

Grids

How do we arrange what we've already sorted out?

We could line six boxes along and six boxes across.

Ka haere au ki te kura.
I go to school

ka is the verbal particle

haere is the verb

au is the personal, the subject of the sentence

ki is a directional meaning to, towards

te is the singular definite article and

kura is the object of the sentence, a noun meaning school

So that's six across
