A SPACE for male survivors of sexual violence has opened up in the heart of Tairawhiti. The official launch of Te Hokai Male Survivors Tairawhiti was held at 73 Peel Street where Tauawhi Men’s Centre co-ordinator Tim Marshall, former Male Survivors Aotearoa (MSA) national advocate Ken Clearwater, MSA chairperson Phil Chapman, Green MP and former undersecretary for family and sexual violence Jan Logie spoke about setting up spaces like this. “It has been a long journey to get to this point,” Mr Marshall said. “Seeds for this kaupapa (mission) were planted well before today’s event and we have Ken Clearwater to thank for that — sharing his own survivor story and creating a safe space for others.” Tauawhi Trust is the fundholder of the kaupapa. The trust was set up a few years back as a community partner to Tauawhi Men’s Centre and Presbyterian Support East Coast. Winton Ropiha, a former counsellor at Tauawhi Men’s Centre, will be the peer worker for Te Hokai. “I’m very fortunate to have whanau in this space with me — knowing what this kaupapa is like as a male survivor myself,” he said. “The peer support kaupapa will allow myself to create a connection with whanau and hapu. I hope that since this is here and now, whanau who need us will come here.” Mr Ropiha reminisced about Tangi Hepi, Tauawhi’s first men’s counsellor. “He saw something in me and I’m very lucky to start this journey,” he said.

After three weeks of rugby, East Coast Farm Vets YMP lead the Civil Project Solutions competition leaderboard, but they are yet to have their bye week. They are two points in front of Enterprise OBM, who will not earn any points this weekend with a bye. GT Shearing Waikohu, Larsawn Ngatapa and Contract Consultants HSOB are all following closely behind and hoping to catch back up to the frontrunners, having already had their byes. The season is shaping up to be a tense one. All of the teams have exciting playmakers that have already produced some enthralling and close rugby. YMP coach Brian Leach said he expects a challenging game at Ngatapa that will be won or lost in the forwards. “Ngatapa has big forwards, and they’re fit too. It’s going to be another forward battle again and we’ve got to play it smart, moving the big boys around the pitch.” He said the intensity has continued to lift this week at training on Tuesday, where they focused on fitness. “Something’s different from the last weeks, the mindset has really changed.” The team also talked about finishing off their games strongly after letting OBM back into the match last weekend. “We need to be ruthless and take advantage of the weaknesses of every team we come across. “When it comes to semis and finals, that rugby is different and it’s about being ready for it.” Ngatapa coach Stephen Hickey said he expects YMP to be a good challenge. Both teams are evenly matched and negate each other’s strength in the forwards. “They’re playing pretty good rugby. We’ve got to meet them physically and see what’s happening.” The game will be won or lost by which team executes their game plan better, particularly at setpiece, said Hickey. Ngatapa have several players resting HEADS DOWN: Willis Tamatea holds tight as he takes the brunt of a tackle.
