BY CATHY ASPLIN

Marion Alspach attends monthly markets at Pirongia with her husband Michael where they sell lavender pro- ducts. Sometimes she takes her spinning wheel along, which often attracts interest from market goers. It is that interest that has inspired her to stage a spinning and weaving demon- stration at this weekend’s market (9am- TC260716CA01 / 02 2pm). PIRONGIA resident Marion Alspach spinning wool (right) and using her Mrs Alspach began spinning on her loom (above). mother’s wheel about 40 years ago. She prefers to spin wool, but has used everything from angora rabbit fibre and goat hair to silk, linen and cotton, often blending them. She began weaving around seven years ago and was fortunate to be given a Thorp loom to use. It is a top of the range, robust, wooden loom that has pegs rather than nails or screws holding it together, she says. Using the loom she creates throws, rugs and clothing — including the jacket she is wearing in the photo — from her spun fibre. This weekend there will be spinning wheels and smaller looms at the market so people can see them in use during demonstrations and then have a go themselves. “We will have people there to help, so if you’ve ever been interested in spinning or weaving come and try it.” Mrs Alspach says the market is now being run as a co-operative and has a lovely group of people involved in staging the event. “The market offers lots of great pro- duce, including fruit, vegetables, meat, pickles, preserves and home baking,” she says. “The arts and crafts for sale are all good quality and there’s also some cloth- ing and coffee to enjoy.” The Pirongia Monthly Market oper- ates on the last Sunday of each month for more details or inquiries contact Anne Kingscott (ph 871 9261). New faces for local hearing association

Newly-elected Hearing Association president Colin Schimanski, vice president Lona Paul and committee member Brian Gordon were warmly welcomed to the association’s AGM. Mr Schimanski says their aim is to assist people who have varying degrees and different types of hearing loss. “We provide unbiased information relat- ing to hearing aids, assist with basic hearing aid repairs and demonstrate telephones with louder volume controls and TV headphones. “We also have personal small portable amplifiers for those who do not use hearing aids, but require some form of amplifi- cation to enable better communication with family and friends.” The Te Awamutu Hearing Association is based at 242 Bank St (Pathlab building) and has part-time hours.

If the winter months are getting you down and Murray from accounts is really getting on your nerves, then pull out the diary, because it’s time to put a big paw print on Thursday, August 4. This August, Purina Pets at Work Day is coming to an office near you, and it’s the one day you can bring your furry friends to work for cuddles by the water cooler without being frowned upon. The reasons to get excited about Purina Pets at Work Day are endless, but just to get the ball rolling, here are a few: ■ Rid yourself of guilt when leaving the house in the morning by letting the dog get in the car, instead of them watching you from the living room window. ■ Increased popularity. Nothing and no one can recruit friends quite the same way a dog or cat can. ■ Increased morale. How can you not smile at an excitedly wagging tail? ■ Opportunities for some fresh air, because having your dog lift their leg at your boss’ desk is a career-limiting- move. With just over a fortnight to go until the big day, start prepping for the happiest day on earth by following these tips to make your office pet friendly, or head to Purina’s website to check out their handy info. How can you make your office pet friendly? ■ Get management and staff on board: Be sure to engage management up front so you have full support for your programme from the top down. ■ Work with management to establish guidelines: Decide which types of pets can come to work and whether or not they need to be allocated different days. You also should establish a few ‘pet- free’ areas in your office (areas like restrooms, food preparation areas and conference rooms). You may also want to ask about any pet allergies in the office and find ways to respect others’ comfort with pets. ■ Get yourself set up: Make sure you have water bowls on hand for thirsty pets, a nice warm spot for them to curl up; some toys to entertain them and if you’ve got cats coming in, a litter box or two probably won’t go astray. It’s also a good idea to put a sign on your front door letting visitors know that there are pets running loose in the office, so they can be aware not to leave doors open and to expect a friendly sniff when they arrive! ■ Get outside: Take dogs for a walk at lunchtime and make sure you have regular outside toilet breaks to avoid any accidents. Yet another benefit to having pets in the office — it gets you out of your chair and into the fresh air for some exercise to stimulate your mind! Tuesday, July 26, 2016 Te Awamutu Courier 9
