BY GERALD FORD From Eketahuna to Woodville to Auckland, new Tararua Mayor Tracey Collis had a busy ﬁrst day on Sunday. Collis, who is from Eketahuna, was due to meet news media in Woodville and then head to Auckland to ﬁnish a Fonterra governance programme – a course leadership course for

people in the dairy industry. “I’m the only politician in the programme,” Mrs Collis said. “One of the things I admire in the agricultural industry is that … they actively grow their own leaders. She suggested town leaders could also be looking to mentor the next generation. Mrs Collis collected 2722

votes after 98 per cent had been counted – almost 1000 votes ahead of her nearest rival Allan Benbow at 1745. Ernie Christison was third in the vote count with 748, while Collis’ southern ward rival Shirley Hull took 722 votes and Kay McKenzie 189.

South Wairarapa Mayor Viv Napier, who has been a councillor for 15 years including 12 as deputy to Adrienne Staples, believes her experience and that of the surviving councillors will help with a mainly new council. “We’ve got enough people there that have got some experience,” Mrs Staples said. “I know where we’ve come from and where we are going, where the long term plan is heading. It’s good to know all that useful stuﬀ anyway.” The new South Wairarapa District Council has just one sitting councillor returning to each of its three wards – Colin Olds to Featherston, Margaret Craig to Greytown and Brian Jephson to Martinborough. The two new Featherston

councillors are Lee Carter, stepping up from the community board, and Dayle Harwood. They replace Solitaire Robertson, who retired, and Dean Davies who tried unsuccessfully to stand in Greytown. Greytown has new councillors Paora Ammunson and Colin Wright, who replace retiring councillor David Montgomerie and Mrs Napier herself. Martinborough also has two new councillors, Pam Colenso and Pip Maynard, replacing retirees Julie Riddell and Max Stevens. Mrs Napier said the new council is fresh and diverse, containing a mix of ages and three Maori. “The voters done good.”

RACHEL

Tararua size a challenge Collis was surprised by the margin, especially since she is from the least populous of the Tararua towns, which include Dannevirke, Woodville and Pahiatua. There was no election for southern ward candidates, as only four people stood, including Mrs Collis herself, Shirley Hull, Peter Johns and Andy Thompson. With Mrs Collis being elevated to the mayoralty, a byelection will now be needed to fill the vacant southern ward position. There was no election for the Eketahuna Community Board either - with the four positions automatically filled by the four candidates Charlie Death, Di Eagle, Sharon Shannon and Pauline Wilson. Mrs Collis said Tararua covers a large area and as mayor “it is important to know the whole district”. She said her campaign was technique was “every town, every day” and she was able to cover each town as she drove from her home in Eketahuna to Dannevirke, “I visited Pongaroa and Akitio (too). It’s been really good, and has given me a wide understanding.” Mrs Collis said that “throughout the campaign, roads came up” as an issue, as they were important for a large district with a small rating base. Issues included the towns’ water supplies and wastewater, with Pahiatua having a recent E.Coli scare where residents had needed to boil their water.

You never know where you’ll get that next amazing person with an idea. Sometimes people think mayors can solve problems. A mayor is a great connector. Actually, communities solve their own issues, because they are the best informed.

Love Loathe

Wastewater treatment for Eketahuna, Pahiatua and Woodville were “all on the agenda”, Mrs Collis said, and she would “very much like to see the completion of Dannevirke’s (sewerage treatment) ponds.” “We need to have the the public’s confidence in our water.” Ms Collis said she has a “passion for people, and likes “connecting with people”. “You never know where you’ll get that next amazing person with an idea. Sometimes people think mayors can solve problems. A mayor is a great connector. Actually, communities solve their own issues, because they are the best informed.”

Lesson

Something I love this week: Hearing my daughter

say her first words, this week it was bubble when she was in the bath.

Something I loathe this week: Donald Trump and

the whole debacle around him and his sexist comments.

Something I learned this week: How much every

vote actually does matter. I got in by quite a slender margin.

Unity challenge for mayor BY GEOFF VAUSE Greytown’s new mayor Viv Napier said she feels as though she has a mandate with 1507 people putting her in the mayor’s office. Her nearest rival Liz Mellish took 995 votes ahead of John Hayes with 726, Sue Fox 556 and Graham Higginson 380. “The main issue is the Local Government determination early next year,” Mrs Napier said. “There will be a proposal re some sort of amalgamation plan for Wairarapa. That will be the biggest issue for the near future. “If it’s the three councils amalgamating – who knows if that’s the best option. “I would prefer to see some sort of shared decision-making for Wairarapa in the things the Greater Wellington Regional Council does at the moment, water management and so on. “I’m only one part of the council, so it’s about what we want to do as a council. “We’ve got big projects ahead. The wastewater project alone is huge for a small community.” A Greytown Ward councillor for five terms, Mrs Napier said “one of the key things will be making sure we can work together as a district”. “There have been some concerns in Featherston they haven’t been getting a fair share of what’s going on so we need to work through that and determine how the

Tourism is going off at the moment, for example, and we need to know how to do it as a whole district not just individual towns. three towns can support each other and grow together. “Tourism is going off at the moment, for example, and we need to know how to do it as a whole district not just individual towns. Mrs Napier said she was aware she was mayor of three very different towns in Featherston, Greytown and Martinborough and a rural community as well, and each had a strong identity separate from the others. “You can’t turn all three towns into a Greytown or a Featherston or whatever, you want to be able to let them all shine in their own way. “We also have a lot of rural people in their rural communities, and our coastal communities – there’s huge diversity here so we have to ensure everyone gets a fair share around the council table.”

John Booth embarks on his first full term as mayor of Carterton, winning his first whole election as incumbent and with a mandate of more than 2000 votes ahead of his nearest rival, Mike Osborne. With six generations in the district behind him, including a great-grandfather Alfred Booth who planted the bulbs and started the hugely popular Daffodil Festival, the mayor effectively has the district in his blood. He was first elected to the Carterton District Council in 2010, and again in 2013 where he became Ron Marks’ deputy, taking over as mayor in an October 2014 by-election. Happy with a clear mandate for the job, for John Booth it’s a ‘steady as she goes’ approach as he leads a council he is “really happy” with. The preliminary result for Carterton District Council is Greg Lang, 2007, Jill

Even Masterton’s Mayor Lyn Patterson couldn’t predict who would be in and out of council this election. Regardless, she says it is the good mix of backgrounds and people that the district needs for upcoming major projects. “It’s very difficult to pick,” she said. “What was really pleasing to me was that there were some really strong candidates. “Some that I thought may have got across the line didn’t, but there were some really good candidates for people to select from.” The incoming councillors, Bex Johnson, John Dalziell, Deborah Davidson, and Frazer Mailman, who topped the polls with more than 4000 votes, will be key players in the CBD upgrade in Masterton, among other projects that will be revealed at the first council meeting at the end of this month.

Men’s shed for Martinborough BY GERALD FORD The Martinborough Men’s Shed was officially opened by South Wairarapa Mayor Adrienne Staples last Wednesday. The shed is located in the old courthouse and former Martinborough Borough Council offices, near the square. Shed co-ordinator Ric Geisler said the building was used as a courthouse until about the 1950s, with the police station and jail next door. The building was used as council offices until 1989 and the merger with Featherston and Greytown, which necessitated a move to larger premises. “For the last 20 years it’s just been used as council storage,” Mr Geisler said. “It was piled floor to ceiling.” Mr Geisler said the team’s aim was “can you help us bring it back to life?”. Project manager Colin Chamberlain said he had been “keen to keep the integrity of the building, which I think we have done, we’ve retained these

wonderful wooden doors.” The men’s shed team remodelled the building inside with strengthening beams placed, creating openings between rooms, and sanding floors. A false hanging ceiling, installed in the 1960s, was removed and the original vaulted courtroom ceiling restored, which involved patching some holes. The shed now has two work rooms with various items of wood and metalworking equipment. Mrs Staples said the opening was “a wonderful way to bring my term as mayor to a close”. “I’ve been a huge supporter of the men’s shed movement since it opened in Masterton,” she said. “I’ve encouraged our three communities in Featherston Greytown and Martinborough to get behind it… It’s fantastic to have the trifecta”. Mr Chamberlain described the moment the team heard the council had approved their stewardship of the building. “We were elated. We came in peered through the window like schoolkids on our tippytoes.”

For a young person getting a license is a milestone in the path towards adulthood, a heavy responsibility with a great payoff. With a license comes a sense of independence and freedom. A license provides freedom from parents and the ability to get from one place to another without having to rely on someone else. But unfortunately, teenagers have a very high chance of being involved in a car accident. Despite being only a small percentage of the licensed population young drivers in-between the ages of 16 and 24 are involved in over one third of all car accidents. The risk involved with being in control of a car isn’t in the forefront of a young person’s mind when they get behind the wheel for the first time. Learner drivers are not the cause of the high crash rate. In fact the number of crashes involving learner drivers is the lowest. Learner drivers are the most cautious drivers and having a fully licensed driver beside them helps to keep them safe. The risk arises once learners graduate to their restricted. This is the time when drivers begin to feel more comfortable in

their abilities and are more prone to risk taking. The most common rule broken by young drivers on their restricted is driving with passengers. Driving with passengers is dangerous for restricted drivers because the risk of being involved in an accident increases by ten when there are passengers in the car. This combined with the inexperience of a restricted driver can make for a deadly combination. For young drivers, gaining experience is an effective way to decrease the likelihood of being in a crash. Holding a learner’s license is an important time in a person’s driving career because it is an opportunity to gain a lot of experience. Spending time witwh a range of people who have been on the road for a long time is a great way to gain experience. The best way to gain experience is by doing. Practice, practice, practice makes perfect. Driving is a huge part of our lives. Our driving habits can have an effect on us and the people around us. Make sure that your driving has a positive impact because bad driving has the power to change a life in an instant.

Garden Talk en Barn with Gard

BERRY FRUITS Berries have been gathered and eaten since man began. Over time through trial and error, humans discovered what was edible and what was not. Berries are loaded with antioxidantrich plant compounds called flavonoids that provide potent health protection. A research review from the Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging says berries protect the brain in a multitude of ways. Because of smaller gardens berryfruits have become more

ELDERBERRIES

These are related to the honeysuckle family and have antioxidant properties that reduce cholesterol, boost vision, enhance the immune system, and are beneficial for those with heart problems, coughs, common colds, influenza, bacterial and viral infections and tonsillitis. The flowers make wonderful food. Try elder flower (sometimes called elderblow) fritters using your favorite tempura or pancake batter. Make a light, mild batter, so you don’t overpower the delicate flowers. Try sautéing them. Elder flowers make a pleasant tasting tea, especially with mint. They also make a potent, fragrant wine. Steeped in vinegar they add flavour and strengthen the stomach. Birds just love these. Elderberry’s can grow into quite a large bush or small tree.

RASPBERRIES, BLACKBERRIES AND BOYSENBERRIES

These are referred to as brambles, and need regular pruning to keep bearing large, healthy crops and to prevent them from taking over your garden. They have a high vitamin C and manganese content. They also contain vitamin K and magnesium. Raspberries are divided into summer and autumn fruiting. Both have unique habits. At GardenBarn we have many different varieties of boysenberries and the best news is that there are now thornless boysenberries. Boysenberries have large, juicy, purplish-black fruit.

GOOSEBERRIES

Wairarapa has an ideal climate for gooseberries. They will succeed in almost any soil but prefer a rich loam, and though naturally a plant of rather dry places, will

popular as they are so easy to grow. Most can be grown in containers, along fences and used as screens, and of course they are delicious to eat. The word berry is used for many different kinds of small fruits that have many seeds and can be used as food. Berries are small, sweet, liquid, bright coloured fruits that do not have a stone or pit. The main reason for this is of course is to attract birds and animals to eat do well in moist land (if drained). Gooseberries are frost hardy and will grow in sun or partial shade. Gooseberries were infected with a serious mildew which forced growers to stop growing them. Now there are two mildew resistant varieties available. ‘Invicta’ produces a mass of large flavourful berries (great for pies) and ‘Pax’ produces dark red fruit and is a good eating variety.

CURRANTS

These can be red, green, yellow, or black in color. They can be dried and used as raisins. Currants like the morning sun, but shelter from hot drying suns. They don’t do well in pots. They prefer humus enriched soil (Tui Mulch and Feed is ideal) and heavy soils that retain moisture without becoming waterlogged. They prefer slightly acid soils, similar to blueberries, azaleas and rhododendrons. Currants have high vitamin C, iron, potassium, and fiber. Red currants are good for jams, jellies and eating fresh. White currants are ideal for cooking and are very sweet; they can also be eaten fresh. Black Currants are a popular flavoured berry, packed with vitamin C. It also has high levels of potassium, phosphorous, iron, and vitamin B5.

LOGANBERRIES

These are ruby-red, sweet, juicy berries that turn purple-red when ripe. They are used to prepare juices. Loganberries contain vitamin C, calcium, iron, potassium, fiber, and carbohydrates.

TAYBERRIES

Tayberries are a cross between a blackberry and a raspberry. It is a climbing berry with large tasty fruit that can grow up to 4cm long.

them and spread their seeds. Some are called true berries. These include blackberries, raspberries and boysenberries. Some true berries do not have berry in their name. These include tomatoes, eggplants, guavas, pomegranates, chillies, pumpkins, cucumbers and melons. The fruit of citrus, such as the orange, kumquat and lemon, is a berry with a thick rind and a very juicy interior that is given the special name hesperidium.

10 Wairarapa Midweek

Wednesday, October 12, 2016

Community support for Heart Heart of Arts is blessed to have such a supportive community, thank you. We had the pleasure of accepting a massive cheque last week from a lovely gentleman who is new to working in Carterton. When I first meet (real estate agent) Greg Ariell, I found him to be warm & welcoming with a fabulous smile. Well we are the ones smiling now, aren’t we? On having a korero with Greg, he showed his interest in supporting Heart of Arts & we of course welcomed his support. True to his word, on his first house sale, he pops in to tell me he will have a cheque for $500! Awesome news for sure. Then much to my surprise, Greg comes back in and tells me his contribution is to be matched by Property Brokers. Guy Mordaunt, Property Brokers’ regional manager for the Wairarapa, said the business is “pleased to match this contribution by Greg as their way of celebrating his early success in Carterton and Property Brokers’ commitment to supporting communities that it works in,” said. Greg says, “Heart of Arts is a real asset and I’m pleased to support it to help ensure Carterton remains a vibrant and thriving community”. “I’ve enjoyed partnering with Heart of Arts to develop their sponsorship programme and want to acknowledge the fantastic work that Corrinne Oliver, Heart of Arts’ coordinator, and her team of volunteers put into the hub.” Thanks to Greg and Property Brokers for showing their amazing support for our creative community initiative and being the first in our newly developed sponsorship programme.

Should you wish to know more about this, please contact Ron Shaw Toi Trustee, 021 191 1337. We currently have a stunning exhibition by Rosalie Jurczenko. Rosalie is one of our treasured volunteers and an artist contributor. Rosalie says, “Heart of Arts is a fantastic enterprise which not only encourages local artists but increasingly is becoming

a social hub with artist’s bites/talks, which more often than not, go beyond the projected 10-minute time frame. They are certainly a conversation starter and a relaxed format for open discussion or maybe just a cup of tea ... It is a privilege to be involved with Hea rt of Arts and to be exhibiting here.” Wayne Sayer and Jen Magnus, two wonderful volunteers, share the first two

weeks of November for their combined exhibition. The 10 minute bites talk is at 12.10pm BYO Sandwich (first and third Wednesday of the Month). On October 19 October Ian Chapman, artist and the manager of King St Artworks. Looking forward to seeing you then. Heart of Arts, 47 High St North, Carterton.

Elaine Brazendale waited decades to see a woman in the boss’s chair at Carterton District Council. When the local government stalwart started serving her community on councils 21 years ago, it was virtually an all-male domain. “I served with five diverse mayors,” Mrs Brazendale told Carterton’s councillors at her valedictory speech at yesterday’s council meeting. “I’ve worked with four chief executive officers, and finally with a woman,” she said - indicating current council boss Jane Davis. Mrs Brazendale has retired on the eve of the latest local government elections, with 21 years behind her. At the council’s request, she will remain on the District Licencing Committee until

June 2017 when the incoming council may wish to make a change. Bill Knowles has put 15 years solid performance on his long service record. His droll wit around the table will be missed as he exchanges shots with Mayor John Booth right to the end. Mr Booth thanked him for his help learning “townie ways” when he started at the council. “When I started as a greenie,” Mr Knowles said, “former South Wairarapa District Council deputy chairman Bill Monk told me the first thing I needed to learn was to sit down, shut up and listen. “I took that advice.” Mr Knowles spoke of his battles preventing money for footpaths “getting siphoned off for everything else”. Both retiring councillors acknowledged council staff, their own families and the many people who supported them over the years.

LAST COUNCIL MEETING FOR RETIRING COUNCILLORS On Wednesday 5TH October, Deputy Mayor Elaine Brazendale and Cr Bill Knowles attended their ÿnal council meeting for Carterton District Council. Both have contributed hugely to Carterton and will be missed within the council chambers. They each gave moving Valedictory speeches that produced laughter and tears from those in attendance.

The Steam train always attracts train spotters from all around the country with passengers travelling from Weka Pass in South Island to take the historic Da°odil Express journey.

CARTERTON HOLIDAY PROGRAMME The hugely popular Carterton Holiday programme was held at the Carterton Events Centre during the second week of the school holidays. Children were spoilt for choice when choosing their different activities, which ranged from baking, painting, movies, xbox, web coding and story telling to, rugby skills, abseiling and the WBS inflatable obstacle course. There were plenty of guest appearances throughout the programme, including

Zac Guilford, Sparkie the Dragon, NZ Fire Service, Rainbow the Clown, Thames the Police Dog, Marz the Dog and Carterton Mayor John Booth.

CARTERTON The ideal of a smoke free Carterton has taken a step toward fruition with the introduction of a ‘SmokeFree outdoors area policy’. Second-hand smoke increases the risk of heart disease, lung cancer, stroke, and nasal cancer. We know that seeing people smoke encourages smoking so the less smoking young people see around them, the less likely they are to become smokers themselves. Not seeing people smoke also sends a message that being smoke free is a normal way of life. In line with the Government’s goal of a smoke free New Zealand, Carterton District Council has a three year programme to implement a no-smoking zone around Council owned parks, sportsgrounds, playgrounds and urban reserves. The smoke free environment would also include the forecourt and entranceways to Council buildings. With public support, the entire commercial area of Carterton would be smoke free by the end of 2018.

Sort contracts say Feds

The old wallet on the wing mirror trick.

PHOTO/GERALD FORD

Be the kindness of strangers Above the Line Heidi Hendrikse It’s hard getting older. My darling husband had a definite senior moment last Friday, when he put his wallet on top of his car wing mirror. We were halfway down the next road when he had this sinking feeling. We travelled back home slowly - but no wallet showed up. Then we travelled up again with me sitting on the bonnet of the car (like the Bentley lady emblem of old timers – well, perhaps not as elegant as that!) Some people must have thought we had lost our marbles, but it was our wallet, actually. So you do what you need to do. You call in at the local police station, cancel your cards, and pray that somebody will be kind enough to hand it in. But you worry as well. Will the finder be honest and hand it in? Or will he/she use your credit card, your store card, your cash and/or your prezzy card? What about the gun licence? It is amazing what you have in your wallet when you start thinking about it, but my distressed husband seemed most upset about his missing goodie card - no free coffee at MacDonalds! The next day we got a very welcome phone call from the Masterton police, saying someone had found and handed in the wallet almost straight away. Praise the Lord! We were very happy and fully intended to reward the nice person who was honest enough to do this kind deed. However, the person didn’t leave a name or address behind, saying that he/she didn’t want to be identified. What a shame! Now there is no way to say “thank you” either. So if this kind, honest, upright citizen reads this article at all, please accept our wholehearted thanks for your deed. It is much appreciated. Having just come back from Papua New Guinea, I almost know for sure that things would be different there. Without sounding judgmental, from all the warnings I received and from the fact that we even had to drive around Port Moresby with the car doors locked, I think the likelihood of having our walled returned intact with cash and cards would be very minimal. We are blessed to live in a country/ district where there are still people who value the property of others for what it is – (the property of others!) - and do unto others ... It sure made me more determined to do just that - not just because that is the right thing to do, but because I now know how happy it makes the other person feel when they receive your kind deed. The kindness of strangers is a powerful thing. Let’s have more of it.

Federated Farmers is urging members to commit to getting employee records and contracts right - after recent large were issued recently following a Labour Inspectorate investigation into a Taranaki dairy farm. Federated Farmers Taranaki provincial president Bronwyn Muir says it is essential farmers keep up-to-date contracts and wage and time records for all employees. “Agriculture needs to attract a good quality, motivated workforce to drive productivity gains and to improve performance. So farmers need to provide workplaces which will attract those people,” Ms Muir said. “Getting the basics of employment law right is the foundation to build that

attractive work environment.” Federated Farmers regularly holds employment workshops to promote best practice, and sells legally compliant contracts and employment agreements to both members and non-members. “Legislation does change over time and it’s important to keep on top of changes and keep everything up-to-date. “We have a large number of contracts, templates and policies available to assist our members to remain safe and compliant employers,” Ms Muir said. “It’s better to pay for advice and be compliant, than pay a fine. We all need to be compliant for the good of the industry and those who work in it.”

Wairarapa Midweek

Youth participants created unique artwork throughout a NZPS led workshop this month.

PHOTOS/SUPPLIED

Art workshop inspires youth Young Wairarapa artists went on a multimedia travelling workshop this month – exploring painting, photography, video and sound recordings, music and writing. Conceived and presented by New Zealand Pacific Studio at Mt Bruce, the unique sevenhour workshop took participants through the Kermadec exhibition at Aratoi Museum of Art and History, to King St Artworks in Masterton. The day kicked off with Dame Robin White guiding participants on a tour through the Kermadec exhibition at Aratoi Museum, sharing stories about underwater volcanoes, spectacular underwater life, and also about slavery in the region. Kermadec is a multimedia exhibition that

includes film and tapa making. It was followed by a drawing workshop at led by painter Mark Manning who has a keen interest in conservation. Manning arrived in the Wairarapa from California about a month ago and is now resident at New Zealand Pacific Studio in Mount Bruce where he has been painting every day. Next on the agenda was a cameraless photography (cyanotypes) workshop with author and photographer Madeleine Slavick, also an American-born artist, who came to the Wairarapa in 2012 after 25 years in Hong Kong. At Hiroshima, Slavick was first introduced to cyanotypes in the form of objects that had been A-bombed.

The participants were busy creating word art at King Street Artworks.

For the workshop, Slavick had asked participants to bring in a meaningful object that could be held in the hand to make the prints, such as a tiki, a heart jewel, or a necklace. Also on the agenda for the day was a writing workshop, led by award-winning Wellingtonbased writer Annabel Wilson, and a music session with singersongwriter Sarah Dill, a music therapist from the United States in residence at NZ Pacific Studio. The youth participants shared their works at the end of the workshop. It was supported by the Masterton Arts Fund, Masterton Creative Communities Scheme, NZPS, Aratoi Museum of Art and History, and King Street Artworks.

Dame Robin White talked youth through the Kermadec exhibition at Aratoi Museum of Art and History.

Interesting music instruments were brought in by music therapist Sarah Dill.

“Cameraless photography” was shown at the workshop. Pictured is a cyanotype.

Still coming down from the high of launching my third book last month, books and publishing are at the forefront of this nerdy girl’s mind! In the Times-Age a couple of weeks ago I was asked ‘What is Wairarapa’s best-kept secret?’, and I said Hedleys Bookshop, because honestly, in the world’s current publishing climate, you cannot possibly know how lucky you are to have a century-old, family-owned independent bookstore in your main street! In steady decline from the late nineties, bookshops have been rumoured to be on their deathbeds for the last two decades, cowering in fear as their dreaded mortal enemy has risen from the shadows of the internet … eBooks. Not Balrogs or Android armies, but for bookstores around the world, maybe not any less terrifying. It’s taken many of us a long time to notice we’re living in the age of eBooks because, for those of us in the southern hemisphere, it really doesn’t look like it. In contrast to the United States where electronic publishing skyrocketed, New Zealand and Australia have been very much late to join the party – issues like access and copyright, like

Unbidden, Shayla Morgansen’s latest book at Hedley’s Bookshop in Masterton, the third in The Elmstone Saga. PHOTO/GERALD FORD

in movies and music media, have long turned us away at the door. That’s becoming less of a problem as digital globalisation sweeps the planet, but stats still show that we southerners like our books tangible and our booksellers distinctly non-electronic. There’s always going to be something magical about discovering a book on a quiet store’s shelf and something special about handing money over the counter to an actual person, with an actual smile, plus it feels good to put money back into your own community. Just as John Connor learned to use Skynet’s technologies to his advantage, we slow-adopters are also reaping the benefits of the publishing digitisation movement,

living the best of both worlds. Connecting with authors has never been easier for readers. Digital bookish communities like Amazon’s Goodreads enable individuals on both sides of the pages to review, give away, ask questions and share their love of books and stories. Authors without a social media presence are few and far between, and are generally the kind with big boxes of unsold books stashed under their stairs. Tweeting is now a basic marketing expectation of authors, and it works, building happy international audiences with instant access to their favourite writers’ every random thought. You can follow this author’s random thoughts on Twitter @ ShaylaMorgansen.

IT’S GARDENING SEASON OCTOBER IN THE VEGGIE GARDEN

JUICY SWEET BERRIES

• Our top picks to plant in October are: Lettuce, Silverbeet, Basil, Spring Onion, Capsicum, Beetroot, Spinach, Broccoli, Tomatoes, Beans, Corn, Peas, Parsley, Kale, Celery and Coriander.

• Strawberries, raspberries, boysenberries and blackberries should be planted in spring but you can plant blueberries and currants all year round.

• Plant flowers amongst your fruit and veggies to brighten things up. Flowers also encourage bees, helping pollinate vegetables like tomatoes and beans! • Slugs and snails will be looking for food, and they will love your leafy spring salad greens and brassicas. Apply Tui Quash Slug & Snail Control to help stop them munching on your seedlings. Look out for aphids and White Cabbage Butterfly caterpillar as they will also be actively looking for food. • Blend in compost and Tui Super Sheep Pellets to garden beds in preparation for planting.

• Plant more than one plant, this aids cross pollination and increases your plant's yield. • Berries require a position in full sun to thrive - no sun equals little or no flavour. • Choose a position for taller berries such as raspberries, boysenberries and blackberries away from strong winds-up against a fence on a north facing wall is a good option. • A simple tee pee or pyramid system made from 3-5 straight branches is effective. Stakes, bamboo canes and trellis can be used as well. • Before planting, blend in layers of compost and Sheep Pellets to add valuable nutrients to your soil.

TOMATO PLANTING TIPS

HOW TO CREATE A HERB GARDEN

• Growing tomatoes is one of the most rewarding gardening activities and an easy way to start children gardening.

• Choose a sunny spot.

• Choose a warm position in full sun away from strong winds.

• Add a good potting mix to the existing soil to improve drainage. For best results, we recommend using Tui Herb Mix or Vegetable Mix.

• Dig compost into your soil prior to planting to add valuable nutrients and improve drainage. • Plant 60-80cm apart to allow plenty of air movement. • Put your stakes in the ground prior to planting to make sure you don't damage the roots. • Tie the stems to the stake to provide support for the plant and to keep the fruit clean. • Tomatoes do not like to be dry. Water well and regularly. • Feed your tomatoes regularly with Blood & Bone and a liquid fertiliser to boost growth and fruiting capacity.

• Dig over the area using a garden fork.

• When choosing your plants start small and stick with the varieties you know you will use. You can add more plants once your confidence increases. • Protect your garden with slug bait. TIP: Harvest your herbs before they flower.

Dairy awards open Entries for the 2017 New Zealand Dairy Industry Awards open next week. Entries are taken online at dairyindustryawards. co.nz from October 20 and will close on November 30, with Early Bird entries closing at midnight on November 9. The awards encourage best practice and the sharing of excellence, and also identify and promote future leaders. People can progress through the awards as they progress through the dairy industry – from farm worker to herd manager to farm manager and contract milker to sharemilker. The 2016 National Share Farmers of the Year Mark and Jaime Arnold were encouraged to enter the awards by their employers, farm owners Stuart and Sandra Cordell, who saw the awards as an opportunity to encourage their growth. “Twenty years ago Stuart and I (had) entered the Hawkes Bay/Wairarapa Sharemilker of the Year Competition for the first time and found it hugely beneficial to take the time to focus on our own business,” Mrs Cordell said. “You make time to analyse your farm and your business and what works best and what could work better.” The Arnolds had been in the dairy industry for 3½ years when they came to work for the Cordells, in their first lower order share milking position. They are now in their sixth season on the farm, and milk 500 cows on 167ha. “Mark and Jaime are hugely passionate and enthusiastic. It wasn’t our intention to have 50/50 share milkers, but we put the proposal to them as it is important to encourage their growth,” Mrs Cordell said. “We also encouraged them to attend DairyNZ Mark and Measure, and to attend the Fonterra Understand Your Cooperative Programme.” Mr Cordell said farmers need to encourage the next generation. “The benefits of Mark and Jaime

entering the competition are that they are firing on all cylinders, they’re focused and interested in the dairy industry and our dairy farm, so it’s kept us on our toes as we support them” he said. As farm owners the Cordells saw their role as one of support and to provide all the information needed - including access to records such as nutrient management reports, sustainable milk plans, fertiliser plans and rural professionals.

Castlepoint’s Anders Crofoot has endorsed a new online resource to teach children about soil and the food chain. The basic science resource is produced by Soil, Food and Society - a partnership that includes DairyNZ, Horticulture NZ, fertiliser companies and Irrigation NZ as well as Federated Farmers and the Ministry for Primary Industries. Mr Crofoot is the project spokesman, vice-president of Federated Farmers and chairman of the Fertiliser Quality Council, which is also involved.

Mrs Crofoot said learning about soil, nutrients and their replacement “is essential to our young students understanding the whole food chain concept”. “It is easy to skip over the fact that soil is where food production, agriculture, horticulture and indeed, society, begins,” Mr Crofoot said. This resource also recognises the importance of New Zealand’s primary industries.” The resource is aimed at years 5 to 8 and can be accessed at: www.soilfoodsociety.online.

“It’s their chance to shine, so we just have the tools in place for them to claim, own and run with,” said Mrs Cordell said.

Look after pets at Guy Fawkes Protecting pets at Guy Fawkes is best planned ahead, a New Zealand Veterinary Association (NZVA) veterinarian said last week. The NSVA is encouraging pet owners to seek advice well before November 5 to reduce the physical and psychological harm that fireworks may cause in pets. Firework displays can be a difficult time for many pets and veterinarians are able to improve their wellbeing with advice and treatments to reduce anxiety. “It is not uncommon for pets to suffer from extreme anxiety and develop phobias in relation to fireworks, and managing anxiety appropriately at this time will reduce the chance of a fireworks phobia developing,” Dr Helen Beattie, President of the Companion Animal Veterinarians branch of NZVA, said. “There is often an increase in missing pets following the Guy Fawkes displays, and we encourage all pet owners to ensure their animals have a secure, safe, and an indoor space for the night. Microchipping will ensure that in case they do escape and get lost, they are found and quickly returned home.”

Dr Beattie says that pet owners can help to prepare their pets in the weeks leading up to and following Guy Fawkes (Saturday, November 5). “Talk to your veterinarian about sedatives that can be prescribed to reduce anxiety over this period and find out if starting a calming pheromone diffuser a few weeks before fireworks begin will be suitable for your pet. “Walk dogs during the daylight, then bring all of your animals inside before fireworks are let off,” Dr Beattie said. “Use familiar sounds – such as the TV or radio – to further drown out the sound of fireworks.” Dr Beattie said owners should remain calm and provide quiet reassurance to their pets, and avoid excessive treating or making too much of a fuss as this may inadvertently reinforce the pet’s anxiety.

Top tips • Contact your veterinarian to prepare methods and medications that will manage fireworks induced anxiety before Guy Fawkes night.

It is not uncommon for pets to suffer from extreme anxiety and develop phobias in relation to fireworks, and managing anxiety appropriately at this time will reduce the chance of a fireworks phobia developing. • Keep pets indoors, preferably with curtains drawn and windows closed to drown out light and reduce noise. Turn on the radio or television to create a familiar sound which can be comforting. • Provide safe coverings for your pet to hide under if they wish • Take your pet to an alternative location where they will be more comfortable for the night if necessary. • Remain calm and confident yourself and avoid excessive fussing over nervous animals.

PET OF THE WEEK

Community Kitties Odette.

Odette is a foster kitten available for adoption from Wairarapa Community Kitties. Odette came to WCK extremely timid. Within two weeks she became a loving little girl who just craved attention from not only humans, but was totally infatuated with her foster carer’s 11-year-old dog! She loves to play and doesn’t stop purring. Because of her rough start in life Odette would probably take a few days to settle into her new home. She would be best suited to a quiet home without children. She would be great with a companion animal ie a dog, but only one that could tolerate her continuously following them around, face smooching and an

occasional tail shoved in their face! She is 10 months old but quite small for her age due to her rough start in life. She is desexed, FIV tested, vaccinated and has had flea and worm treatment. The adoption fee is $140 which includes her second vaccination. If you are interested in Odette contact Lee on 021 0843 8935. Wairarapa Community Kitties is a non-profit organisation that works to limit the uncontrolled breeding of semi-feral cats in the towns of the Wairarapa.

TH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS - 2011 - 2016 STAN THE BUILDER HELPS MITRE 10 MEGA CELEBRATE FIVE GREAT YEARS Mitre 10’s ‘Easy As’ builder, Stan Scott, will be in store at Mitre 10 MEGA Masterton this weekend, helping the store to celebrate its 5th birthday. Stan, the frontman of Mitre 10’s ‘Easy As’ online DIY video guides, will be hosting fun and an informative Easy As workshop for kids, teaching them DIY skills and guiding participants through a construction project. The workshops are part of the Masterton store’s birthday weekend celebrations (14-16th Oct), commemorating five years since the Mitre 10 MEGA store opened its doors in 2011. Mitre 10 MEGA Masterton General Manager Brent Stewart says that in that time the store has gone from strength to strength, enjoying great support from the community.

Classic, schools and sports teams, as well as being a key supporter of the Life Flight Trust. “We’ll be having a gold coin donation sausage sizzle over the birthday weekend, with all proceeds going to the Life Flight Trust,” says Brent.

The Wairarapa has a very strong DIY culture,” says Brent. “Since day one we’ve had a great relationship with the local community and being community focused is something that’s very important to us.

“There will also be face painting and a bouncy castle for the kids as well as instore deals. It’s just a great way we can continue to give back and say thank you to the people of Masterton and the Wairarapa for their support.”

The store has been involved in several community sponsorships throughout its five years including sponsoring the Pukaha Mt Bruce National Wildlife Centre, the New Zealand Cycle

and has been voted the most trusted home improvement retail brand in New Zealand five times.

“We work hard every day to ensure that this is a one-stop shop for our DIY and trade customers, with everything under one roof and first class service,” says Brent. “These are exciting times for our store. We have 91 fantastic and loyal team members, many of whom have been with the Mitre 10 Co-operative for over 15 years, and it’s really special for us to be able to share this milestone with our customers and community.” Mitre 10 is a New Zealand co-operative with 81 locally owned and operated stores nationwide that employ close to 5000 team members combined.

REX SLIGHT, AARON SLIGHT AND EJVIND FREDERIKSEN - 100 PERCENT LOCALLY GROWN While many businesses can claim to be locally owned, there are not so many where all the owners grew up in Masterton. Mitre 10 MEGA Masterton is owned by Rex Slight, his son-in-law Ejvind Frederiksen and son Aaron Slight. Rex and Ejvind are the two Directors of the business while Aaron is a silent partner. Rex’s association with Mitre 10 MEGA Masterton and its pre-cursors goes back 35 years. He was born and grew up in Masterton, working all his life in Wairarapa in the timber industry. When the opportunity came up to establish a Mitre 10 MEGA store in his hometown, Rex says it just felt like the right thing to do.

MITRE 10 MEGA MASTERTON OWNERS FROM LEFT AARON SLIGHT, EJVIND FREDERIKSEN AND REX SLIGHT.

“Masterton needed a MEGA store and if we had not done it, someone else would have or something similar. It felt like something that would be good for our family, and also good for the local community.”

Rex still works five days a week, coming in at 6am and opening the doors of the store at 7am. Ejvind grew up in Masterton and became a qualified mechanic before joining the New Zealand Fire Service in 1988. Ejvind has continued to be a full time fireman at Masterton station, even after becoming a Director at Mitre 10 MEGA Masterton where he takes a hands-on role, overseeing the store’s compliance with the Mitre 10 co-operative’. Aaron needs little introduction as one of Wairarapa’s most successful sports people. Aaron won numerous titles in road motorcyle racing, competing in Europe and Asia for 15 years. Raised in Masterton, Aaron returned home in 2004. He continues to pursue his interest in motorsports including as a teaching ambassador for Honda Motorcycles.

MAKING A MEGA CONTRIBUTION TO THE COMMUNITY THROUGH SPONSORSHIP It might be “mega” in size, but Mitre 10 MEGA Masterton is still very much a community hardware store at heart. This is reflected in its support of the community through sponsorships and donations. Because Mitre 10 MEGA Masterton is locally owned, its owners choose what causes they sponsor and these are often inspired by a personal connection. One of the major sponsorships is for the Life Flight air ambulance. As a full time fire fighter, Director Ejvind Frederiksen says he sees first hand “the true value of our support for Life Flight and what an important service it is to the Wairarapa. Mitre 10 MEGA Masterton has raised over $100,000 for Life Flight through its annual fundraising tournament at Riversdale Golf Club, as well as making other donations to the air ambulance. Director Rex Slight has had a close connection with Riversdale Beach since the 1950s and Mitre 10 MEGA

Masterton is donating the frames for the new Riversdale Surf Lifesaving Club headquarters at the beach. Further north, Mitre 10 MEGA Masterton has been a supporter of Pukaha Mount Bruce National Wildlife Centre for many years. The business built and donated Santa’s sleigh for the Masterton Christmas Parade as well as its own float that it puts in every year and is a big supporter of children’s sports teams.

The support provided to the New Zealand Cycle Classic by Mitre 10 MEGA Masterton is greatly appreciated. Their support goes a long way in helping us to stage a truly professional event - Jorge Sandoval, Race Director, New Zealand Cycle Classic.

Community organisations are given free hire of its barbecue trailer for fundraising events and Mitre 10 MEGA Masterton often donates prizes for fundraising raffles. In sport, the store supports the New Zealand Cycle Classic as the official sponsor of the Hill Climb section as well as football, rugby, hockey, softball, cricket and the Disabled Sports Person Category at the annual Wairarapa Times-Age Sports Awards.

Mitre10 MEGA Masterton has made it possible for two children each from selected schools to be Pukaha Junior Rangers. It supports our Takahe programme and annual fundraising dinner - LOVE PUKAHA - and helps in many other ways. It is a valued relationship that dates back years - Helen Tickner, General Manager, Pukaha Mount Bruce

We love our relationship with Mitre 10 MEGA Masterton. They are always willing to help us in any way that they can and I can’t overstate how grateful we are for their generosity and support - Sherry Herrick, Life Flight Partnerships and Development Manager.

COLUMBUS COFFEE - A CAFE WORTH DISCOVERING Since opening next door to the Garden Centre within Mitre 10 MEGA Masterton five years ago, Columbus Coffee has become one of Masterton’s most popular cafes. Columbus Coffee is a 100% Kiwi owned franchise, while its manager and head chef, Zoe France, is 100% Masterton born and bred.

A unique partnership with the wellrespected Healthy Food Guide magazine offers customers nutritionist and dietitian approved options. There is also a wide range of core Columbus cabinet and menu items, including a Local Favourite Menu range reflecting the flair of Zoe and her team.

The cafe’s 13 staff, five of whom work in the kitchen, all benefit from the indepth training provided by Columbus Coffee. Columbus Coffee’s menu emphasises fresh, seasonal and wholesome food that is constantly being added to by its award winning Menu Development Team and Group Training Chef. This includes a unique Lifestyle

Favourites range offering paleo, raw, refined sugar free, and other “clean” food choices.

Columbus Coffee co-founder and coffee master David Burton is the franchise’s Master Roaster who ensures the on-going quality and consistency of its blend, while its baristas regularly excel in barista competitions. The franchise also runs its own Columbus Coffee Annual Barisita Championships which measure its baristas at international standards.

Open seven days a week, The Columbus Café is particularly busy at weekends, while during the week it is popular with groups.

Reunion this weekend to recognise achievements of 1980s greats This year marks 130 years since the beginning of what is now Wairarapa Bush rugby with the establishment of the Wairarapa rugby union in 1886. The Bush union was formed four years later in 1890 and the two unions merged in 1971.

It is also 35 years since Wairarapa Bush set out on one of the most glorious periods of its rugby playing history, being promoted to the First Division of the national competition in 1981, where it stayed till the end of the 1987 season. To mark the anniversary a reunion is being held in Masterton this Friday 14 and Saturday 15 October for players, management and o˜ cials involved from 1981 to 1985. Drinks and nibbles are being held on Friday night at Farriers Bar & Eatery, a late lazy lunch at Trust House Memorial Park at 4pm, and a Guard of Honour formed by the current Wairarapa-Bush team just before it plays East Coast at 6pm in the ÿ nal Heartland game before the semi-ÿ nals. CEO Tony Harwood says “It seemed like a good time to recognise the remarkable achievements of our best performing team of the modern era. “Wairarapa Bush has a strong tradition of recognising and celebrating its history.” The journey to First Division status has reached legendary status. Wairarapa-Bush had to win the North Island second division title, then beat the winner of the South Island second division title, followed by a promotion-

relegation match with the bottom-placed ÿ rst division side all within the space of seven days. The tight knit team went on to consistently beat bigger unions over the next six years - the only union not to topple being Auckland. It’s highest placing was fourth in 1985. This was one among many bright moments for Wairarapa, Bush and the combined union. Wairarapa was one of the strongest union in the country between 1927 and 1930, holding the Ranfurly Shield on two separate occasions and having nine All Blacks. Wairarapa held the Shield on one other occasion in 1950 when it took it from Canterbury 3-0. The Bush union saw success in the Bebbington Shield, a competition contested by the Bush, Rangitikei, Southern Hawkes Bay and Orewa Downs regions. Although one of the smallest unions in New Zealand, it produced one All Black - Athol Mahoney. Wairarapa Bush won the Third Division in 2005, and inaugural Meads Cup in 2005 for the top half of the Heartland competition. Since then it has consistently placed around half way in the Heartland competition including contesting the Meads Cup ÿ nal again, and winning the Lochore Cup for the top team in the lower half of the competition in 2010.

Wairarapa Midweek

A gravity defying golden age At the beginning of 1981 few would have expected the Wairarapa Bush representative side to be in the First Division of New Zealand’s rugby championship by the end of the year. After all, the Union’s last moment of national glory had been the fleeting moment of the Wairarapa Union holding the Ranfurly Shield in 1950. However, there had been hints of what was possible when the team came third in the Second Division in 1980. Selector and coach Brian Lochore had all the leading players of the previous season still available, with 19 of 25 players still in the team. Lochore focused on an attacking style of rugby with 39 tries scored in 14 matches, and seven straight victories. But the best was to come at the end with three finals in seven days which Lochore labelled “crazy, especially for a union our size and our playing resources but we had no alternative but to tackle it head on.” But with victories against Taranaki, South Canterbury and finally Southland, the impossible became reality. Lochore kept the team in the First Division the following year with fast, open football, again confounding sceptics, but stepping down at the end of the season to be replaced by Lane Penn. The general feeling of the wider rugby community - especially those in the metropolitan centres, was that the bubble would quickly burst without Lochore, Wairarapa Times-Age sports reporter Gary Caffell recalled in an obituary when Penn died in 2014.

“But Penn did outstandingly well in the job, his team regularly hitting the headlines as they went toe-to-toe with the best provincial sides this country had to offer, and comfortably maintained their first division status in the process.

WAIRARAPA BUSH

1980’S GREATS

Injuries and the loss of key players accounted for a relatively poor record in 1983, but a highlight was a good win over Waikato. 1984 carried on in a similar vein with only three wins from 10 championship games but a highlight was an upset win over Counties. In 1985 Wairarapa Bush had its best year since entering the First Division with 11 wins from 16 games and achieving fourth place overall. Highlights of the season included wins over Canterbury and Wellington and a sterling effort against Auckland

ANDY EARL COMPETES AGAINST TARANAKI IN 1981 PHOTO/WAIRARAPAARCHIVE

The end of the era came in 1987 when the team finished bottom of the first division. A number of records were set in the first match of the season, against Horowhenua, and the side looked good when it beat North Auckland and drew with Waikato. However, crushing defeats were inflicted by Auckland and Otago although Wairarapa Bush were not disgraced in either the Canterbury or Wellington games.

WAIRARAPA BUSH

Captains remember a special time Gary McGlashan was no novice when he lead Wairarapa Bush into the First Division of New Zealand rugby at the end of 1981. The hooker had played his ÿ rst game for Wairarapa, a year before the two unions amalgamated, in 1970 and played his last season when Wairarapa Bush competed in the First Division in 1982, by then in his late thirties. When Gary retired, halfback Graeme “Bunter” Anderson who had joined the team in 1979 took over the role, remaining captain in 1984 and occasionally in 1985.

1980’S GREATS

At the beginning of 1981 selector and coach Brian Lochore had all the leading players of the previous season still available, with 19 of 25 players still in the team. Lochore focused on an attacking style of rugby with 39 tries scored in 14 matches, and seven straight victories. But the biggest test was yet to come with three successive ÿ nals in seven days - the ÿ rst against Taranaki for the North Island Second Division title, followed by a match against South Canterbury for the National Second Division title, and ÿ nally a match against Southland, the bottom team in the First Division. Both Gary and Graeme remember, the Taranaki (won 15-6) and Southland (won 10-9) matches as particularly gruelling. “Taranaki came down here and thought they were going to romp home,” Gary recalls. “That was a great game with the crowd right behind the team.” For the Southland game it was a case of “slogging it out. Carl [Baker] scored a

good try and we had to hold them out after that for about 20 minutes.

game and was a great motivator, Gary says.

“They had us on the ropes a few times but our camaraderie held us together so there was no way they were going to score.”

“He was the sort of person that would draw the most out of any player.”

After making it into the First Division, remaining there was always going to be the next challenge. “It was a fairly hard row to hoe the next year”, Gary recalls. “It was a di° erent level for us. When you get up against teams like Auckland and Canterbury it is a di° erent kettle of ÿ sh. We had a relatively small pack but we managed to battle on and stay there.” By 1983 and 1984 when Lane Penn had taken over coaching duties from Lochore “it was more about survival”, Graeme recalls. “It always came down to a couple of games we had to win to keep in the First Division.” However, one of the games he remembers with particular pleasure was their 19-9 victory over Hawkes Bay in 1984. “It was right on the weekend of their centenary. I think the idea behind that was that they thought we would be easy beats. There were a lot of long faces in Hawkes Bay after that game. We took a lot of pleasure in that match.” Both men had a high regard for both Lochore and Penn. “They had di° erent styles - one was a forward and other a back,” Gary says. “But it was basically the same simple style of rugby. Graeme concurs. “It was a simple game plan, executed well.” Lochore had a great knowledge of the

Likewise, Lane was a also a good motivator, Graeme recalls. “He wanted the game played in the way that he wanted. Brian was always going to be a hard act to follow - all credit to him for stepping up to the mark. He did really well and managed to ÿ nd a few All Blacks.” Both former captains believe one of the most outstanding features of Wairarapa Bush teams of that era was the spirit. “Camaraderie was one of our greatest assets,” Gary says. “It was a really close knit team and everyone got on well. “We got on the paddock and everyone would work for their mates.” “There was phenomenal team spirit,” Graeme recollects. “Everyone got on really well. In those days you would tour for ten days over two weekends so we got to know each other really well. “It cost a lot of guys money to play as they had to take a week o° work but if you spoke to anyone they would say they wouldn’t have swapped it for anything. It was a pretty special time.”

WAIRARAPA BUSH

From easy beats to top contenders in a just a few months After making it to the First Division in 1981, Wairarapa Bush mostly hung around the bottom half of the competition, always battling to stay in the competition. But then in 1985, something happened and they became one of the most formidable teams in the competition, ÿ nishing in fourth place and potentially they could have reached even higher. Loose forward Paul Hawkins, who played in the team from 1979 to 1986, captained Wairarapa Bush for most of its matches in 1984 and 1985. He believes the groundwork was laid in 1984 which was not Wairarapa Bush’s best year by any means.

But the landscape of Wairarapa Bush rugby had been changing since 1981. Club rugby was getting stronger as rep players brought their experience back to the clubs which in turn were producing a higher standard of players to choose from, Paul points out. “I think club rugby was so good that it followed through to the representative side. We had been in the ÿ rst division for a while by that stage and it had improved the overall standard of club rugby without a doubt. “I think (one of the reasons for the team’s success) was that there was just a good core of players. We had 20 or more players to call on when there were

Something that was a bit out of the ordinary was having the captain of the day in the selection meeting. “That worked for us. It gave us more of an idea of what they wanted and how to get it.” There was also a change in mind-set of the players, Paul says. “Before the season started we would normally worry about if we were going to be relegated or not. At the beginning [of 1985] we stopped worrying and started just playing rugby. “We realised in 1984 that we could achieve more but everyone had to buy into that. When everyone turned up and gave their all, we did exceptionally well. But it would only work if everyone bought into it. If a couple of guys were not 100 percent it wouldn’t work.” Paul believes the team had the potential to do even better than fourth place. “We beat some good teams. We had wins over three of the top four teams. The only top team we didn’t beat was Auckland and that was only by about 10 points. So there was no reason we couldn’t have beaten anyone in the competition.”

improving as a coach as well. “He must have, he was an All Black coach about a year later.” Paul respects Lane for what he achieved with the team. “He came after Brian Lochore. Everyone loved Brian. Lane was a very good coach but you had someone else telling you what to do which must have been hard for him. “It wouldn’t have been easy for him to ÿ ll Brian’s shoes but he did a tremendous job in his own way.” So after such a successful year, why did the team begin to fade the following season? “I just think the other teams were more wary of us when we turned up the next year and a bit more focused. “We were the so-called easy beats most years and all of a sudden we were turning up and beating them. When we played Counties we were down around 13 points after the ÿ rst ten minutes but we still ended up winning. “The next year they remembered what we had done to them in 1985 and were more focused.”

One of the victories Paul relishes the most from that year was beating Wellington. “That was at Athletic Park – we had never done that before. We won a lot of away games that year.” It wasn’t just the team that had a good year. Paul suspects Lane Penn was

Wairarapa Midweek

Balloons move to long weekend

New dates and a new event manager have been announced for the 2017 Wairarapa Balloon Festival. The popular event will be held at various venues across the Wairarapa region over the 2017 long Easter Weekend from Thursday, April 13 to Monday, April 17. The Festival, which has been run by volunteers, has also seen its committee appoint Robyn Cherry-Campbell to the newly created role of event manager. Mrs Cherry-Campbell lives in Carterton and brings a wealth of experience to the role. She heads Storm Productions, an events, production and conference company that established and organised The Oversew Fashion Awards and has helped organise events associated with Kokomai: Creative Festival Wairarapa. “I’m very excited to come on board

with organising the balloon festival. It is such a fantastic community event that is very dear to people’s hearts here and I can’t wait to unveil the festival’s programme later in the year,” she says. Destination Wairarapa marketing manager Barb Hyde said she is pleased the festival has moved to Easter. “We often enjoy settled weather at Easter and with it being a long weekend people won’t be rushing to school or to work, so can take the time to enjoy watching the balloons,” she says. The Wairarapa Balloon Festival programme is currently under review and will be released in the coming weeks. The festival is expected to attract around 20 hot air balloons from throughout the country as well as at least one special-shaped balloon which is yet to be announced.

Forestry company gains licence

A Wairarapa forest management company has now become a licensed investment manager. On October 3, Forest Enterprises Limited was licensed under the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 to manage Managed Investment Schemes (excluding managed funds) which are primarily invested in forestry assets. Managing director Steve Wilton describes the licence as a milestone for the company. He says Forest Enterprises was, on October 5, one of just two forestry investment specialists that had been licensed out of a total of 51 licensed MIS managers. Most of the others are managers of managed funds. Licensing of MIS managers is part

of a package of reforms designed to lift industry standards, improve confidence in markets, and improve outcomes for consumers and investors. Forest Enterprises is based in Masterton, where it was established in 1972. It manages 61 forest investments for than 7500 investors, 95 percent of whom are from outside of Wairarapa, including 7 percent from overseas. “Our investment schemes have always been and remain regulated financial products,” Mr Wilton said. “What is different is that Forest Enterprises as the manager is now also licensed and is therefore subject to a similar robust compliance regime as the managers of other types of investment.

In saying that, our investors will be pleased to learn that many of the investor protections that are now mandatory under the Act were already an integral part of our business model. Mr Wilton said Forest Enterprises “has historically led the industry with innovative forestry investment options suitable for inclusion in a diversified investment portfolio”. Mr Wilton says the licence is timely with renewed interest in forestry investment as returns from other investment options drop. “Forestry appeals to many investors because of the tangible nature of the investment – you can actually see and touch the trees you own – and most importantly, the returns from forestry compare favourably with many other investment options,” he said. Mr Wilton said the licensing was pivotal to realising the company’s future plans including the launch of new forestry investments next year. “Many of these new

investments will be in the second rotation of forests planted by the company for investors 25 to 30 years ago,” he said. Mr Wilton said the “intense and comprehensive process” of becoming licensed will continue with ongoing monitoring. “Becoming licensed means we have demonstrated Forest Enterprises meets the high standards under the Act for providing forestry investment management services.

“Many people think they have to go out of town for this service, when in fact the service is available here in Masterton,” Milady owner Deb Graham-Karaitiana says.

“That means women can come in, have a chat about the options, have a ÿ tting and decide what they want, then the sta˜ at Milady can organise the payment with the Ministry of Health.” Milady stocks prosthesis, breast forms and specialised bras. It also o˜ ers a unique service where women can choose to have a normal bra or swimsuit modiÿ ed to hold a prosthesis.

“The service o˜ ered by Milady is a specialised one. Not only do our sta˜ have lots of experience in ÿ tting, the team understands what a personal experience it is. “ After mastectomy, many women are left feeling body conscious and nervous about having a ÿ tting, Deb says. “But our philosophy is all about empowering women to look and feel good.

MALE BREAST CANCER Many people are unaware that breast cancer can occur in men. While rare, approximately 20 men in NZ are diagnosed with breast cancer each year or 1% of all cases. Breast cancer in men is the same disease which a˜ ects women. Much of the information that men need is the same, as the diagnosis and treatment for both genders is very similar. Breast cancer is more common in men over the age of 60 but all men need to know what to look for and report any breast changes to their GP. Some men may be embarrassed about getting a change in their breast or chest area checked out, and put o˜ seeing a doctor. This may result in a delay in diagnosis. Survival is highest when breast cancer is found early. The prognosis for men with

In addition to the ÿ tting, Milady can organise payment through the Ministry of Health’s Breast Prosthesis Service Payment Scheme – the only Wairarapa business able to do so.

“This is a considerably cheaper alternative and o˜ ers a greater variety of bras to choose from.” For more information about the service call in to Milady Fashion and Lingerie at 164 Queen Street, Masterton.

breast cancer is similar to that for women at the same age and stage of the cancer. In NZ, the 5year survival rate is 86%. Signs and symptoms of breast cancer in men are:  A lump or area of thickened tissue . This is most commonly painless and situated close to the nipple.  Skin changes such as puckering or dimpling, redness or ulceration.  Nipple changes e.g. a newly indrawn nipple, or itchy ,scaly skin on the nipple.  Fluid discharge from the nipple. This might be clear or bloodstained.  Unusual breast pain or tenderness.  Painless lump in the axilla ( armpit) These symptoms may also be signs of a benign (non-cancer) breast condition but it pays to get any breast changes checked out.

Spring grows on you

The middle of spring is yet another wonderful time for gardeners. Plants are smothered in fresh foliage and flowers, many fruit trees show the promise of their summer harvest and the vegie patch is humming.

Beautiful blueberries If home grown, freshly picked blueberries sound tempting, then it’s time to find a spot at your place for a blueberry bush or two. ‘Climax’ is an early season variety with medium to large dark blue berries with a very good flavour. The bush has an open and upright habit. Climax is a ‘Rabbiteye’ type so is self fertile, but will produce heavier crops if cross pollinated with another Rabbiteye variety like ‘Tifblue’ or ‘Centurion’. Rabbiteye varieties grow well in all areas of NZ and are partially deciduous. Blueberries prefer an acidic, well drained soil. In areas with alkaline soil (a pH higher than 7), applications of Yates® Soil Acidifier Liquid Sulfur every month will help lower the soil pH. Some blueberries can also be

grown in pots. Choose good quality potting mix such as Yates Premium Potting Mix and a large pot to give them enough room to grow. Blueberries will benefit from regular applications of a complete

Spring citrus care

Snails can crawl up into citrus trees and damage and skeletonise young leaves. A light sprinkling of Yates® Blitzem™ Snail & Slug Pellets around the base of citrus trees will control snails before they crawl up into the canopy. Citrus trees have a shallow root system which can be prone to drying out. As citrus trees are flowering and setting their new crop of fruit during spring, it’s important not to let citrus dry out as trees can drop their fruit if drought stressed. Soil which is rich in organic matter is better able to retain moisture. Regularly applying Yates® Dynamic Lifter® Organic Plant Food around the root zone of citrus will help increase the soil’s organic matter content and its ability to store moisture. After applying Yates Dynamic Lifter, adding a layer of organic mulch around the roots will also help to reduce moisture loss and as it breaks down will add further important organic matter to the soil. Feeding tip: it’s important to keep citrus well fed during spring, as they are working hard growing their new fruit. Yates Thrive® Citrus Liquid Plant Food contains a complete and balanced meal for citrus, helping to promote healthy green leaves and a great harvest.

plant food during spring. Yates Thrive® Strawberry & Berry Fruit Liquid Plant Food is ideal for blueberries as it’s fortified with extra potassium to encourage fruiting.

VACCINATING LAMBS

Spring has well and truly sprung now so it’s time to talk about vaccinating lambs against clostridial diseases. The most common clostridial diseases in lambs are tetanus and pulpy kidney but there are also several other diseases that vaccination will help protect against. Most clostridial diseases cause sudden death and treatment is seldom successful.

LED lights on trend

Décor and technology an illuminating combination at LightingPlus

omeowners across the land are seeing the light when it comes to LED technology which has brought about a revolu�on in ligh�ng up buildings of all descrip�on. To this end, 100 percent Kiwi-owned ligh�ng specialist, Ligh�ngPlus has introduced to the New Zealand market a huge range of stylish, energysaving LED products which have won favour with homeowners renova�ng or building new. The company experts know ligh�ng is an exci�ng and important part of any new home build, renova�on or décor scheme and, that proper use and posi�oning will bring warmth to a room, highlight interes�ng features or provide the right light to achieve important tasks. And if LED lights offer high performance and low energy consump�on, they also come in decora�ve, tradi�onal or modern styles. What’s more, Ligh�ngPlus has LED solu�ons to suit most budgets and ligh�ng needs. Whether looking for something func�onal or keen to make a decor statement, LED ligh�ng stretches across many tasteful designs including pendants. New LED pendants are not constrained by the need to consider how and where tradi�onal incandescent light bulbs need to be placed. As such, the shapes and styles that are becoming available are some of the most stunning and crea�ve seen to date. And, thanks to extremely long life of the light source, they can be confidently hung in hard to reach places – no hauling out the ladder three months later to replace a blown bulb. Of course, with any new technology it pays to consider possible drawbacks and weigh these up against advantages. T he great thing about LED ligh�ng is that there are no significant drawbacks. What’s more, the poten�ally higher cost of purchase is quickly offset by the energy savings. A great way to add a personal touch to any space, consider various pendant op�ons. The so� light provided by a fabric shade pendant will help bring a warm atmosphere to the table – perfect for dining, relaxing and entertaining.

An adjustable suspension will give flexibility to bring light to the right height above a table and also means a pendant can be created that is suitable for all ceiling heights. LED versa�lity is one of the reasons it has become so popular, with new LED light bulbs (or lamp) technology also capable of turning a conven�onal fixture into an energy-efficient one. Las�ng much longer than tradi�onal light bulbs and, at a frac�on of the cost to run, there is an LED replacement lamp available for almost any domes�c applica�on. Furthermore, with more than 23 years industry experience, Ligh�ngPlus is commi�ed to providing customers with quality, value and fashion. Giving customers honest advice and sharing knowledge is a key part of the company’s philosophy to help them find the right ligh�ng solu�on. But, with a mul�tude of ligh�ng op�ons available, the Ligh�ngPlus team knows making choices can be confusing so matching customer needs with that huge range of styles and price points is what it does perfectly. This makes the process a pleasurable, no pressure experience. And do check out exci�ng exterior products from SG Ligh�ng, Norway, which offer a quality, longlas�ng finish. In many cases the patented coa�ng has a 20-year guarantee. Stylish and func�onal they can provide security or reveal stunning features and materials. Remember, the outside of your home is o�en an overlooked area but it deserves to be seen.

And it’s important to provide enough light so family and friends can sit, relax and entertain around the barbecue. Ligh�ngPlus has worked with the trade and homebuilders consistently over more than two decades, oﬀering the right product and the right advice for the job at hand. Trained consultants can provide designs and draw up ligh�ng plans, working with clients to provide more than just great prices. Ligh�ngPlus welcomes trade accounts and has a special discount oﬀer for home building. Whether you are a contractor or a homeowner we can light up your life!

’Da˜ odil Steam Train Excursion’

“

A huge thank you to all the team at the Wairarapa Times-Age who worked on our Daffodil Express promotion. The Wairarapa Times-Age brilliantly interpreted what we were trying to achieve with the event and marketing of it. A truly great effort once again, it gives our volunteers a great boost and sense of pride in what they are doing. Some numbers to conjure with - there were about 512 passengers, excluding crew, on the steam train from Wellington and about 420 on the trip to Masterton. Fortune favoured us with brilliant weather and hundreds of families took the opportunity to enjoy themselves in the spring sunshine.

Don Hodge, President Carterton Railway Museum, also on behalf of Steam Incorporated Paekakariki
