Upcycling king settles in EMILY NORMAN

Masterton designer Paul Edgar Bird has always had a passion for giving old garments a new lease on life.

And now, having secured a prime location store in Masterton, everything he needs to share his vision with Wairarapa is at his fingertips.

Edgar & Bird, which opened yesterday is a pop-up shop on the corner of Queen St and Lincoln Rd in the old Legal Theft store, which closed in 2015 and has been vacant ever since.

He was able to secure the shop space thanks to Our Future Masterton, and the Letting Space’s Urban Dream Brokerage service, which is running in Masterton this year to allow creative thinkers with dynamic ideas to test the ideas out in vacant commercial and public spaces.

As the overall winner of the 2017 Oversew Fashion Awards, and with previous awards under his belt, Bird has proved his talent in the upcycling industry.

“The main thing that has inspired me to do this is seeing the effects that fast fashion has on our environment,” he said.

“There are so many good fabrics out there that can totally be reused for awesome pieces.

“I just want things to have a second chance.”

Bird’s creative upcycling space would be in the business of re-engineering, altering, and mending garments and textiles, to “breathe new life into landfill destined pieces”.

Making dreams a reality P�e�� � ��n�

Emily Norman

The attitude Paul Edgar Bird has towards making Wairarapa a better place to live is one we should all take on board.

He had an idea, put it out into the world, and it was met with enthusiasm by Letting Space’s Urban Dream Brokerage service who have helped bring his dreams to reality.

It’s exciting to see someone’s passion and dreams come to fruition.

I remember speaking with Paul earlier this year following his Oversew Awards win, and he shared with me his goal to apply for funding and “set up an open studio where people could have a go at upcycling”.

At the time, I thought the idea was genius, and as a creative person, it was right up my alley.

But I never imagined he would have the store up and running this year.

Imagine how many other ideas are floating around the Wairarapa, but the thinkers behind them haven’t had the courage or means to make them happen.

Let’s change that.

As part of Our Future Masterton, Letting Space’s Urban Dream Brokerage service is running in Masterton as a trial

until December.

Working with property managers, artists, individuals and community groups Urban Dream Brokerage negotiates the temporary use of space, be it public or commercial, empty or underutilised, for innovative projects, assisting in urban revitalisation.

Some of the projects Masterton has seen as a result of this service include a photographic documentary project by Anna Rutherford, the Masterton Block Party, held last month, the Great Marble Race, and the Our Future Masterton hub at the top of Queen St. I think this is a great opportunity for those creative thinkers in Masterton to dig up that awesome idea they never thought would make it to reality, and give it a go.

It’s a win-win-win situation – for the individual, the owners of the space, and the general public – after all, the idea behind it is to engage people to participate and bring new, more diverse people to central Masterton.

You can submit your ideas at any time to the Urban Dream Brokerage service at udbmasterton@gmail.com, and they will look over the proposals by the last Friday of every month.

The only pre-requisite for your idea is that it needs to be innovative.

Good luck, let’s make the most of this opportunity while it’s here.

Cut for a cure

FOR ADVERTISING Commercial Manager Andrea Hay (06) 370 0936 (021) 814 767 andrea.hay@age.co.nz

A handful of Chanel College students will be cutting their locks off today to raise money for cancer.

Chanel student and Head of Special Character Janie Grevatt, said 10 students and two teachers were taking part in the “cut for a cure” event, which involved either cutting inches off their hair and donating it to the New Zealand wig society, or shaving their heads altogether.

Janie will be doing both.

“I’m doing this because I have family and friends who suffered from cancer, and doing this will show them that we care and that they are not alone.”

This will be the second time Janie is shaving her head to raise money for cancer and she is excited to be helping out after five years of growing her mane back.

The “cut for a cure” event, organised by the Young Vinnies, will be held at 1pm today outside the Chanel College School Hall.

All proceeds will be donated to the Wairarapa Cancer Society.

To donate, visit the group’s Givealittle page: givealittle. co.nz/cause/help-thosepeople-effected-by-cancer# or drop off a donation at Chanel College in an envelope and write “cut for a cure” -Vinnies.

KITTYCAT REHOMING

Japan’s ancient traditions A former Masterton woman who believed there was more to learn of the Japanese culture represented a Japanese world heritage palace recently.

Lucinda King, the daughter of Kingsmeade Cheese founders Miles and Janet King, lives near the ancient palace in Nara, Japan.

She represented the Japanese UNESCO World Heritage Heijo Palace Site in the annual ceremony this month as part of an academic cultural exchange with her Australian fiancé.

After living in many different countries, Lucinda believed a lot could be learnt from

the Japanese culture.

“I was humbled to participate in the ceremony and credit the generosity of my Japanese hosts to traditional values of respect and politeness,” she said.

Nara National Research Institute for Cultural Properties event producer Dr Hiroshi Sugiyama said the event honoured ancient traditions.

“The ceremony commemorates the ritual donation of rice from ancient communities in Kyoto to attendants of the Royal Palace site at Nara dating back to the 8th century,” Dr Sugiyama said.

The palace representatives dressed in traditional ornate eight-piece costumes that were heavily influenced by Chinese conventions of the Tang Dynasty, and predate the Kimono.

Nara is amongst the most popular tourist destinations in Japan.

Lucinda’s mother, Janet, said that she was thrilled Lucinda had cultivated her love for world travel.

“This experience has given her the occasion to learn about Japan’s ancient past and share New Zealand’s culture with the people of Nara.”

D-Day for fast fashion industry CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 The overarching aim is to get other likeminded people involved in the making and innovating process.

“I want to create a rapport with the community and help grow awareness of the ongoing effects that the fast fashion industry has on our environment,” Bird said.

“It’s quite scary how our throwaway culture is being embedded into our everyday momentum.

“Not just the fashion side of things, but our relationships with people.

“Our throwaway culture is getting embedded in that.

He said he wanted to bring personal connections back to people.

“This project is not just about fashion, it’s about connecting people, and getting

people talking face to face again and getting excited and inspired by working together – feeding off each other’s positivity.”

Bird will be occupying the central Masterton store until Christmas, but said if the community gelled with the idea, he hoped it would be much longer than that.

“I’m totally starting from scratch so I am definitely looking for support from the community and hope to really get them involved in some way.

“I believe people are becoming more aware of the fact it’s not just an out of sight out of mind situation anymore and if there is something we can do to re-use and give some items a second life, its one less thing going to landfill or a third world country that is becoming overwhelmed with our waste problem being sent to them.

“There are so many quality garments

and textiles to be used, if it has already stood the test of time there is no reason it can’t keep on going for a few more years.

“We just sometimes need to modernise pieces and bring them back to life.”

Bird said he would love to see other projects take flight out of the store like Boomerang Bags, if there were enough people and resources available to make it happen.

“I would really appreciate people willing to donate anything from clothing or textiles worth up-cycling, coat hangers, mannequins, garment racks, anything that could help the space out and just getting people a part of it and knowing what it is all about.

“Let’s get this network going, build this from the ground up and show what the Wairarapa is capable of when we work together.”

Star aka Little Man, is a very cool little guy who is looking for a new home.

His previous owner moved and was unable to take Star with him.

Star is about two-and-a-half years old.

He loves the outdoors and having adventures in the garden but he likes to come home to sit on a welcoming lap – and sleep on his owners’ bed of course.

Star likes other cats and is used to dogs.

He would be best suited to a home with adults or a family with older children.

Star is desexed, FIV negative and vaccinated and up to date with flea/worm treatment.

His adoption fee is $80.

If you are interested in Star call Lee at KittyCat Rehoming on 021 0843 8935 or email kittycatrehoming@gmail.com Mister and Bobo, who appeared in the Midweek a few weeks ago, have both found their furever homes.

Mister has gone to a property in Dalefield and Bobo to one in Masterton.

Both these guys have enjoyed moving from town to their new country homes.

Crowds makes a beeline to fair The Rayner family’s “beeline” scarecrow creation came out as the overall winner.

PHOTO/TONY MCCARTHY

EMILY NORMAN It was all fun and games at the Gladstone Fair on Saturday, with Gladstone School hosting “the biggest crowd” they’ve seen in some time for the event.

There were stalls and attractions aplenty, from gumboot throwing to sponsored wheelbarrow races, and even performances from the Geraldine Inder School of Dance and Drama.

And it was all in the name of raising money for the rural school which hopes to build a new car park.

Judging by the number of cars which packed the school paddock to the brim on Saturday, the new car park would be a welcome addition.

Carterton mayor John Booth commended the “amazing rural community” who had organised and come out to support the annual event.

“It’s unbelievable. It’s just amazing. I pulled up to the car park and I couldn’t believe how many cars there were – I’d never seen so many,” he said.

“It’s so awesome for the school and the community of Gladstone.”

He was eagerly waiting for the hedge trimmer to be called out in the midday monster auction – but there were other punters outbidding one another to the point where most items sold close to the retail price, raising more than $5000 across 25 lots.

After the auction, the much-awaited announcement was made confirming the winners of the 2017 scarecrow competition.

Not every scarecrow that dotted the Gladstone countryside was entered in the competition, but Mr Booth was tasked with the job of judging the ones that were.

This year’s theme for entries was “classic sayings”.

KEEPERS

Shoulders in silk

In the 1920s, there was a world-wide interest in Chinese and Japanese design in fashion, art and interiors.

This exquisite hand-embroidered silk scarf, about 2.5 metres wide, was once worn by Molly Ellen Meronia Hume (1907-1930) of Pirinoa and was gifted to the Aratoi Collection by Jane Tempstra née Hume.

The scarf and a photograph of Molly are on public display until November 26.

Rival Wealth was awarded best business entry for 2017, Bell Street Early Learning Centre in Martinborough championed the best school category, and the district-wide competition runner-up was Kate Cosgrove.

But it was the Rayner family who came out on top with their “beeline” entry on Gladstone Rd – three bright yellow, striped bales of hay in a row, with little wings attached.

Lottie Rayner, who went up to accept the award was met with cheers from her family and friends who were huddled at the back of the marquee.

“I’m a fifth-generation beekeeper so I

wanted to do something bee-themed,” she said.

The “beeline scarecrow entry had drawn much interest from people passing through Gladstone, with a logging truck driver pulling over for a selfie at one stage, she said.

The appeal of the creation also made mowing the lawn a difficult task, “because there were always cars parked up to see the bees”.

Gladstone School principal Margaret Hyslop said she was confident the event had raised substantial funds to go toward the new car park.

A new art project showing off the bond shared between two community health organisations has come to fruition.

The project, which was led by Pathways, a mental health and addictions provider in the Wairarapa, involved four King Street Artworks artists who were asked to create works based on their interpretations of “community”.

Pathways are now displaying the artworks in their reception area and addiction counselling rooms in the Departmental Building, as a way of supporting connections in the community and promoting the health and wellbeing of the people they support.

Pathways senior addictions counsellor Rachael Kenny said it was exciting to collaborate on projects with King Street Artworks, “Pathways utilises King Street Artworks as part of our group programme for people with addiction issues,” she said.

“The art groups provide the people we support with a tangible way to experience mindfulness and we have always had great success with it as a way of lowering their stress and anxiety and enhancing their mood.”

“This is an excellent place for people in recovery, whether it’s addictions, mental health, whatever, it’s such a supportive,

safe, and non-judgemental environment.”

She said one of the hardest things for recovering addicts was creating a new routine and returning to normality, “because you’ve got this huge gap now when you are not using drugs anymore”.

“King Street is perfect for encouraging people to get into a different constructive routine.

“Art gives people something tangible they have created, and for hours they haven’t thought about anything but creating.”

King Street Artworks tutor Linda Tilyard said the art project aimed to bring awareness of the two services working together.

She said she hoped to continue working closely with Pathways, and would love to embark on a community mural project in the future.

“Masterton should be really proud of these services,” she said.

“Mental health is an issue like any other health condition, and we all need to work on it.

“At King Street, we focus on the art, but it is art that encourages those very important dialogues.

“You have to be around other people for them to know that you’re down.

“Be emotionally messy, we don’t care.”

World Diabetes Day is on November 14.

Lions Clubs International is asking clubs throughout the world to take part in a “Worldwide Week of Service for Diabetes” during 13-19 November. Diabetes is a global health epidemic that impacts more than 400 million people, resulting in five million deaths a year. Lions Clubs will be looking at ways in which they can be part of the promotion to help stop this deadly disease or at least help to make people more aware of the cause of diabetes.

Carterton Lions Club was recently visited by District Governor Rex Bullard.

DG Rex presented a number of club members with his special pen, along with a number of long-service membership awards. The Club was very proud to have DG Rex present Lion Ian H Reid with the Prestigious Melvin Jones Fellow Award and Lion Steve Cretney with Life Membership of the Lloyd Morgan Lions Clubs Charitable Trust.

Masterton Holdsworth Lions Club members collected for the Blind Foundation and the Pink Ribbon Appeal recently. Members have been helping with vision screening with Mr Foureyes Ravi Dass and most of the students at Lakeview School have been done. Douglas Park School students will be done in early November.

Martinborough Lions Club members made and supplied 300 lunches for the drivers and co-drivers of the TARGA Rally recently when they stopped in Martinborough. Other members ran a barbeque for the crews and anyone else who wanted a traditional sausage sizzle with onions and bacon. The drivers enjoyed the conditions although some did some “grass cutting” by detouring slightly off the road which added to the excitement.

Greytown Lions Club members recently walked around Soldiers Memorial Park before their meeting to raise funds for Lions Clubs NZ Child Mobility

Foundation. The funds raised goes towards providing assistance to families with children suffering with mobility problems and helps fund special walkers for them.

The club held a fundraiser for a mobility chair designed by local Peter Thompson and this will be available to members of the community who require it. The ViMo (Vitality in Motion) chair is an all-terrain as well as indoor wheel chair. Members helped with the Blind Foundation collection along with Greytown Lioness Club members.

Wairarapa Ruamahanga Lions Club members have been busy with working bees – a clean-up of oak prunings at a Truffle Grove and doing a general tidy up of the track that goes from Millers Reserve to the ANZAC Bridge at Kaiparoro. There is plans afoot to do some further native plantings at the north end parking area of the ANZAC Bridge reserve. Members will be doing the parking marshalling at Brancepeth Homestead for the Wairarapa Garden Tour on November 11-12.

Greytown Lioness Club members enjoyed the guest speaker La Donna Stancliffe De who shared her passion for healthy feet. Several members attended Featherston Lioness Club’s 28th Birthday dinner. Tickets for the Garden Ramble are selling well and will still be available for purchase on the morning of Saturday November 18 at the Greytown Town Centre from 10am.

Featherston Lioness Club has donated to the local college and schools to help with their annual prize giving. A donation to the local outdoor bowling club to purchase a set of junior bowls.

This is to encourage young players to take up the sport. The 28th birthday dinner was enjoyed with fellow Lioness and Lions members at the new Brac and Bow restaurant in Featherston. Members have helped at a Schools Lamb and Calf day and collected for Pink Ribbon and Parkinson’s appeals.

Comedy improv to debut Soapbox Mike Osborne Tomorrow night I’ll be taking the stage, performing in the comedy revue Cracking Up, right here in Masterton at Harlequin Theatre.

How about that!

Local home-grown humour grown right here, fresh and tasty like spuds out of your own garden.

I don’t have a bucket list, but if I did, this would be on it.

So how did I get here? Thank you for asking.

About four years ago, someone (who shall remain nameless) suggested that an improv course and show could be a fun thing to have in the Wairarapa.

Improv is theatre that you make up as you go along.

It’s unpredictable, exciting and terrifying all at once and failure can be funnier than success.

It’s the most fun you can have with your clothes on.

The course was a hoot being a combination of laughs and getting right out of the comfort zone.

We repeated this over the next three years and, like all addicts, wanted bigger and more frequent doses.

Properly hooked, the only options were weekly trips to Wellington or find something local.

And that’s where Michael Wilson,

A table, a chair, a TV screen, some cardboard - what more do you need for a show?

manager at access radio station ArrowFM and actor, comedian, director, voice actor, sound producer, playwright etc, etc, stepped in at just the right time.

In December he called for, and I quote, “a coterie of clots and comic-minded creatives to get together regularly to learn (from me and each other) how to put together comedy material (for performance and page)”.

Well, that coterie of clots has hung in there since the start of the year and learnt how to get in touch with their funnier bones.

WWW.SUZUKI.CO.NZ

This has entailed writing skits and monologues under Michael’s watchful eye and some have been reshaped, tuned up and generally tweaked and some left pure and virginal.

Given that the destination of life for all of us is as hot ash or cold humus it’s better to focus on the journey - and creating humour is the same.

My course buddies and I have progressed from a ragtag bunch of humour nerds into a ragtag bunch of humour nerds who have written some strange and funny material and can deliver it in ways that

PHOTO/SUPPLIED

make us laugh, and we think you will too.

There’s only one way to find out what we’ve done and that is to get yourself along to Harlequin Theatre, Dixon St, Thursday November 9, Friday November 10, and Saturday November 11.

Tickets are available from Eventfinda, ArrowFM, or take your chances on door sales.

Thanks to Masterton District Creative Communities and Vaughan and Christine from Paulownia Wines who unfailingly support the arts in Wairarapa.

We’re good for a tickle.

GARDEN

YARN DOUG’S TIPS ■ Have all your house plants been repotted yet? Fresh potting mix will stimulate growth and produce ˜ owers.

Prune o° any old shoots.

■ If planting warmer loving vegetables such as melons, cucumbers, courgettes and eggplants, a cloche or some recycled milk bottles (with the base removed) can be popped over the seedlings if a frost looks likely. Even a cold wind can make a cucumber turn up its toes and die, so it may be wise to pop down to GardenBarn and get a cloche or some frost cloth just in case.

■ Add a layer of mulch around the base of trees to keep moisture in through the summer.

■ Look out for white˜ y on tomatoes and vines. Use a systemic insecticide taking care to get at the underside of leaves.

SPRING CLEAN YOUR BULBS

MOON CALENDAR NEW MOON - November 19TH FULL MOON - November 4TH

MOON PLANTING TIPS THIS WEEK

Are your winter and spring flowering bulbs looking a little scruffy in your garden? Don’t despair, now is the time to freshen up your garden.

Winter and spring ˜ owering bulbs like a fairly warm, dry ‘summer sleep’. They can either quietly hibernate in the garden where they currently are, or, they can be stored in trays or boxes in your garden shed.

Naturalising means that bulbs are left in the ground from year to year to bloom, multiply and die back with no digging or special care required. Simply plant and forget! Bulbs most suitable for this are Anemones, Belladonna, Bluebells, Crocus, Da° odils, Dutch Iris, Freesia, Lachenalia, Muscari and Snow˜ akes. You can suppress the grass by spraying with a very weak herbicide solution in winter before the bulbs start to appear. Apply bulb fertilizer during the growing period; do not mow again until the foliage has died o° . Fertilize after ˜ owering to help feed the bulbs for next season.

Other winter and spring ˜ owering bulbs should be lifted during November to December. This will provide bulbs with their needed rest period which generally lasts for four months. At the end of their growing cycle the foliage of the plants will yellow. This is when they draw the

Cut all remaining foliage and stalks o° after lifting. Discard any bulbs which appear diseased. Dust the bulbs with a fungicide and insecticide such as KINGS Flowers of Sulphur. This helps control bulb rot, powdery mildew and spider mite. Pack them in anything that allows air to circulate such as net bags, bulb baskets or plastic mesh containers. Wooden crates or cardboard boxes layered with dry wood shavings, sand or sawdust are also ideal. Store them in your garden shed or garage.

With da° odils, remove spent ˜ ower heads to stop seed development and lightly apply a general purpose or bulb fertilizer to encourage better bulb growth. Da° odils can be left in the ground undisturbed for several years or dug up and stored in a cool airy location. However, da° odils don’t like cramped quarters and are best divided every four years or so.

Watch for aphid infestation during storage. You can keep them at bay by spraying with Conÿ dor. Spray after lifting, then monthly to keep them clear.

Events centre seeks commercial bookings CHELSEA BOYLE Recent reports have praised the leap forwards the Carterton Events Centre has made earning more revenue.

But its running costs are more than it makes and there is no sign of that changing anytime soon.

The centre has gained $10,000 in revenue when the last two financial years are compared, but in that time an extra $14,000 was poured into building costs and operating costs to achieve that result.

That left a shortfall of $4000.

Carterton District Council chief executive Jane Davis said the events centre would always need significant ratepayer and community contributions to keep it going and it would never be run like a commercial entity.

“The cost of the whole events centre is really high, we will never come close to meeting the cost because that’s not what the events centre is about,” she said.

The council does want to grow the revenue though by increasing the number of commercial users.

“Where we want to grow is in the commercial use — a year ago the council gave us the mandate to go ahead and start promoting and getting a lot more use, particularly of the auditorium,” she said.

“While the numbers don’t look overly impressive at the moment, that’s just the first year.

“We had to invest to get a few things up and going — we have bought little bits of equipment and upgraded some of our equipment to make us more marketable.

“We started doing the marketing, we know already we are getting a lot new events that we haven’t had before so what we are expecting over the next year is revenue

starting to increase.

The council’s community services manager Carolyn McKenzie said the investment in marketing strategy was not always going to show immediately.

The goal was to increase commercial bookings in the auditorium, and minimise the effect on the ratepayer, she said.

More targeted marketing towards Wellington and Manawatu would be pursued.

“They are the biggest visitors to Wairarapa.”

Ms McKenzie was pleased with the way the centre was going.

“These things are not designed to make money or break even,” she said.

It was doing what it was designed to do, she said.

“The annual revenue is going up, that’s what we need it to be doing.”

District councillor Tracey O’Callaghan, who did the original performance review on the events centre, said the costs looked reasonable and there was a working balance between community and commercial events.

“I don’t think there is anything more they could do at this stage, because it could be at the detriment of the community groups.”

In future she would like to see more commercial bookings.

Commercial bookings are great for the whole area because there will be more people coming into town spending money in the shops, Ms O’Callaghan said.

“I’m pleased we are now getting an annual report, and we’ll be looking at like for like, year on year ,so we will be able to track it,” she said.

“Fundamentally it’s there as a community resource and as long as the community is enjoying it, which clearly they are, then that’s fantastic.”

Expansion of bacon factory CHELSEA BOYLE A Carterton business which produces a third of the country’s bacon could bring more jobs to the region after it undergoes a development worth more than $10 million.

The expansion of the Premier Beehive factory is scheduled to be completed in November next year.

Managing director Dene McKay has worked with Premier Beehive for nine years but has not seen anything like the upgrade that is planned for the factory on Moreton Rd. “We’ve outgrown the space that we have in regards to the footprint and capability,” he said.

The planned development was a “big investment” and would take just over a year, he said.

“We have no plans to go anywhere else, we are committed to our staff in the area.”

It naturally follows on from the “rapid growth” the company had seen over the past six or so years.

In that period business had doubled and it was “timely” to now expand the facilities.

The company has a turnover of more than $100 million and was forecasted to sell more than 13,000 tonnes of product this year.

Premier Beehive exports a miniscule amount of products to Hong Kong, with the vast majority of ham hocks and streaky bacon strips feeding the hungry domestic market.

“Our streaky bacon is the number one selling bacon in the country,” Mr McKay said.

The company’s shaved ham products were also market-leading products, he said.

“Our bacon share, at the moment, is

about 34 per cent of the market and our prepacked ham share is about 37 per cent of the market.”

Over a year ago, the company invested in some sausage manufacturing equipment and the planned expansion would assist in growing that category, he said.

During the lead up to Christmas there would be more than 300 employees in the factory.

Mr McKay said he was proud of the company’s progress and that it echoed the efforts of the staff.

“The effort that’s gone into the production of these products is reflected in our position in the marketplace.”

Carterton Mayor John Booth has been one of the main ports of call during the resource consent process.

“Some of the machinery is outside and there has been a bit of noise attached to it,” he said.

“They have made a really conscious effort in their building programme to house a lot of that machinery inside.

“It just shows you it’s a responsible business.”

It was really good to have a business like that expanding because it showed confidence in the district, he said.

“They are buying into what Carterton is and the progressive way we approach things.”

It will add to the really positive feeling in the district at the moment, he said.

“It will be really welcome by our community.”

The business started life as family owned pig processing company in 1991.

The Reid family sold their business on in a move that would create the Premier Beehive brand.

It has changed hands twice since and is now owned by global brand JBS Australia.

Nick Sault Sky Watch

The largest object you will ever see is just about visible from the latitudes of the Wairarapa, and this time of year the Earth has swung around so that we face it at a respectable time in the evening.

This is Messier object M31, a giant galaxy seen through the stars of the Andromeda constellation.

M31 is also the farthest object you are going to see with the unaided eye – 2.5 million light years away.

It is an immense system of stars containing 400 billion suns, and dwarfs our own splendid Milky Way galaxy. Here’s how to find it.

Looking north, you need a really dark sky – after 11pm is best.

Then, a third of the way up from the northern horizon you cannot fail to see a huge square of stars – the great square of Pegasus.

How the ancients saw a big square as a flying horse, I’ll never know – they must have been chewing something now illegal.

Anyway, a couple of the stars in the square are pointers along Andromeda (she hangs onto the horse for dear life).

Locate the corner star of the square that is nearest overhead.

Then locate the star in the diagonally opposite corner of the square.

Imagine a line between them, and extend your imaginary line straight on for the same distance out towards the horizon.

Let your eyes adjust to the dark for 10 minutes at least.

Then you should see a distinct oval patch – averting your eyes slightly can enable you to see dimmer objects due to the better light

To infinity and beyond sensitivity of the receptors away from the centre of your retinas.

As you view M31, it is worth realising that it was less than a hundred years ago that Edwin Hubble (the Hubble Space Telescope was named after him) was first to determine that many of the hazy nebulae that Messier had catalogued in the 18th century are more than just interstellar

clouds within our galaxy – that they are vast systems of stars.

Hubble made his 1923 discovery looking at M31 with the then recently built largest telescope – the 100-inch Hale reflector.

With that discovery, mankind’s concept of the universe immediately expanded billions of times.

I find it amazing that only 20 odd years

M31 galaxy seen through the stars in our galaxy.

PHOTO/GETTY IMAGES

before I was born, nobody knew that there were galaxies beyond ours. Now we know there are hundreds of billions of them.

It’s also amazing that it took research with a telescope as big as a church to determine M31 as being anything more substantial than what you see with your own eyes.

Grandma’s pearls of wisdom Ra Smith A mokopuna of Wairarapa I’ve been thinking about my grandmother a lot recently because I had a chance to speak to a German audience on a video link.

She was the mokopuna of German and English migrants to New Zealand.

My grandmother had some sayings that have guided me throughout my life.

One of them that is important today

Know your medicines

For many of us, healthcare involves taking medicines.

Knowing your medicines – what they are called, what they are for, how often you need to take them and for how long – is really important.

Wairarapa District Health Board is focusing on improving communication about medications between health professionals and consumers.

Chief Medical Officer, Tom Gibson, is encouraging people to ask questions and be well informed.

“We want people to ask questions about their medicines; know what they are taking, how, and for how long; and we want our healthcare professionals to clearly explain medicines to their patients,” Dr Gibson said.

“It’s about making sure consumers understand their medicine so they can be active in managing their own healthcare.”

Dr Gibson appreciates that people sometimes feel they shouldn’t ask questions during appointments with their medical professionals as time is often limited.

“But that is exactly the right time to ask,” he said.

“Your doctor or nurse will be pleased to give you the information. Your pharmacist is a very good source of information too, and they are very good at taking time to discuss your medicines with you when you pick up your prescriptions.

“And don’t trust Dr Google.

“If you are online, refer to trusted medical advice sites, like Health Navigator www.healthnavigator.org.nz, or My Medicines mymedicines.nz/cdhb.”

Some tips and tricks for medication safety: • Make a list of what you want to ask before you get to your appointment, so you don’t forget anything.

• Take a notebook to write down important information, or take a support person with you to do it for you.

• Make sure you know what all your medicines are called, what they are for, how you take them and how often, and how long your treatment is likely to continue.

• Know what signs and symptoms to look for that will indicate if your condition is improving or getting worse.

• Write down all your medicine information and keep it somewhere handy – perhaps inside your bathroom cabinet door, or in an envelope on the fridge.

• Make sure your family know where your medicines are, and where your healthcare information is.

• If you know you are going into hospital, or attending a clinic, take a list of all the medicines you are on with you. It will be very helpful for the clinicians managing your care.

is that “Good workers never blame their tools.”

In a computer age Grandma would have loved, people often blame something they control but their bad practice leads to bad performance.

Facebook is an example of this.

We could say that this platform encourages short sharp comments that can be taken as harsh and rude comments.

We could say that Facebook is about self-promotion and that it encourages self-indulgence.

These types of statements often come from people who view worlds from an individualistic viewpoint.

Often this perspective is correct, but we don’t have to be defined by this use of

the tool Facebook.

One way to work on Facebook is to develop online communities.

For many, whanau connections are the only reasons people use this tool.

Now self-indulgence is shared experience as we seek to keep up with the ones we love the most and let them know how we are doing.

Yes, more than whanau see our posts, but they all have family too.

We understand when family moments are being shared and that is an inspiration for us all to have our own whanau time.

Rather than online bullying, we could be online inspiring, so rather than naming and shaming, we could be naming and faming.

The unsung hero can be appreciated.

The quiet achiever can be recognised.

The really dramatic can be seen by an appreciative audience.

Recently a whanaunga or relative, Teri Lee had some life experiences that her whanau were able to share.

Now this memory inspires us to love our loved ones.

Another encouragement my grandma gave me was “manners matter”.

While text language can be short, we can still take time to respect the people we communicate with.

Our tool can be sharp and destructive or gentle and delicate.

We get to choose the tone we use.

What do you think of that saying Grandma?

New name, new sign It’s official, the signage is up, and what was formerly the Genesis Recreation Centre is now the Trust House Recreation Centre.

Trust House chief executive Allan Pollard said it was great to see that the new signage was now finally up.

“Trust House are delighted to be naming sponsors of the Masterton Recreation Centre a wonderful community asset that benefits our region,” he said.

Cheap swimming lessons on the way School pupils will be able to cash in on cheap swimming lessons.

DON FARMER A ground-breaking initiative aimed at teaching Masterton boys and girls to swim for a minimal fee has been launched.

Masterton District Council and Belgravia Leisure have partnered up offering all Year 5-8 school children throughout the district professional swimming lessons for a dollar per halfhour session.

The lessons, at the rec centre, will be run over two weeks for 10 lessons consecutively Monday to Friday starting in term one next year.

It is expected more than 1500 school pupils aged from nine to 13 will take up the offer, paying $10 overall for lessons that would normally cost them $125.

PHOTO/FILE

The council’s community facilities and activities manager Andrea Jackson said the aim was for all children to finish the programme being able to swim 200m comfortably and to have basic water safety skills including floating and sculling, recognition of danger and general awareness of water safety.

“The aim is for Masterton to become the first town in New Zealand having all children swimming 200m by 12 years of age,” Ms Jackson said.

The initiative has been welcomed by school principals.

Lakeview School principal Tim Nelson said after the initiative was presented to Masterton Principals Cluster that school heads were very impressed and “extremely keen” with the plan.

Gene Bartlett, new principal of Wainuioru School said the swimming initiative was an “ amazing opportunity” for Masterton children.

All swimming teachers will be Austswim qualified and on completion of the programme children will each get a certificate.

The schools will each be responsible for transporting the young swimmers to the pools but after the lessons are complete the children will be at liberty to have free swim time.

The initiative will be reviewed after the first year and the intensive nature of the programme resembles one that was put in place in Tasmania that resulted in 78 per cent of 12-year-olds being able to swim competently.

18 Wairarapa Midweek

Wednesday, November 8, 2017

Youth art promising EMILY NORMAN A handful of Wairarapa secondary school students have taken their passion for art to a professional level, following the launch of an exhibition at Aratoi last week.

Masterton Trust Lands Trust funds a curriculum extension and enrichment programme for students, and as part of this, 15 Year 9 and 10 students were chosen from eight Wairarapa schools to work at King St Art Studio over three days with tutor Linda Tilyard.

They explored the ancient technique of silverpoint drawing as well as etching and painting, and their finished works were will be on display at Aratoi until November 26.

Solway College writer Lucy Collis, 13.

The artworks, and a collection of short stories written by students, were also collated into a book titled, Trust in Young People’s Creativity.

Frazer Mailman of MTLT said he was “blown away” by the art and short stories published in the book.

“As an ex principal, it gives me great pleasure to see outcomes of these extension and enrichment programmes,” he said.

“It is really fulfilling.”

Aratoi Museum of Art and History director Susanna Shadbolt said it was the first time Aratoi had hosted the exhibition – “and it is a real honour to be a part of this programme and showcase our local talent”.

King Street Artworks tutor Linda Tilyard said she was “always blown away by the talent of youngsters in our community”.

“The views of young people are so important in our society, and their presentation of the world is crucial to our moving forward,” she said.

“Please don’t stop creating.

“You are our spirit and our critique comes from you in the most important way possible.”

Chanel College writers Noah Davies, 14, and Amanda Mulligan, 14.

South Wairarapa Working Men’s Club invites anyone thinking of joining the 137 year-old club to pop in and see just what it has to offer.

It has a full TAB facility, two full sized snooker tables and three pool tables, and 10 dart boards.

GOOD LINGERIE PROMOTES GOOD HEALTH Health is not a topic that often comes up when the subject is lingerie, but for Tina Dunlop, owner of Shalari, it is one of the most important aspects of it.

Wearing correctly fitting lingerie has a huge impact on a women’s physical well-being, Tina says.

The biggest night of the week is the Wednesday Draw night. There is usually live music once a month on a Friday Night with a variety of styles from country to swing era.

“Lingerie is about more than just aesthetics.

Badly fitting lingerie will inhibit the flow of the circulatory system, especially the lymphatic system which is a vital part of the immune system. Your body is designed to work best with correct posture and movement.”

The club is popular for weddings, funerals and anniversaries. Its restaurant has an excellent reputation, offering full dinners on Saturday and Sunday and snack meals on Wednesday and Friday.

Tina has always had a passion for health “the body is totally amazing”. Her knowledge is partly based on her experiences as a top athlete, representing New Zealand in netball, Auckland in tennis and winning the New Zealand body building national championship.”

It is especially suitable for hard to reach places as it has a very small width and tracks that are adjustable to get into even tighter corners, for instance between buildings and boundary fences.

The excavator (pictured) is quite light at 1.7 tonnes and so is easy on the ground underneath and easy to transport to jobs anywhere in the Wairarapa.

WAI WRITE

By Elke Blommers DVM from Vet Services Wairarapa

INTRODUCING A NEW CAT

A creative take on what a fairy godfather might look like.

PHOTO/GETTY IMAGES

Donald’s Assistant (A Fairy Tale)

For this week’s Wai Write, Blairlogie Writer’s Group member Bill Orange takes us into the world of Donald, an elderly man who discovers his fairy godfather.

Once upon a time, in a quiet country town near here a lad was born.

He was the first born in that family and arrived in the previous century.

His loving parents instilled in his mind that not only they, but his Guardian Angel loved and looked after him wherever he was.

This thought was given weight by the picture hanging on the kitchen wall of a young child being shepherded along a narrow mountain path by a long-robed person with two large wings.

The child grew in knowledge, wisdom and strength.

He did all the normal things a child of that era did, went to school, then to Technical College, married and had his own family that eventually left home.

His life had been rather uneventful, possibly under the influence of the long-forgotten Guardian Angel.

Almost a hundred years later the lad, now an ageing senior citizen, rediscovered his Guardian Angel, although he now preferred to think of him as a fairy.

It all happened when he was having a bath.

He had completed his ablutions when he discovered to his horror that he was stuck, utterly and completely unable to get himself out of the bath.

To make matters worse he had left his medic alert on the bed.

There was nobody else in the house and the neighbours were too far away to hear his cries for help.

There he was, on his back surrounded by cooling soapy water, exhausted from his efforts to extract himself. There was a flash of light followed by a, “Good morning Don. I see you are in a spot of bother.”

Donald acknowledged that he was and asked who he was and where the voice came from.

“I’m your fairy godfather, – don’t you remember when your three-year-old daughter went missing? I guided her to that Policeman who found her. Or the occasional near-misses you had while driving? Who do you think kept you apart? I am right in front of you, but will now make myself visible.”

“Well, Hello,” answered Donald. “But what do I call you and how can you help me now?”

“You may call me Ez, and you’ve no need to be embarrassed that you are fully undressed. After all, so am I.” “But you are covered in feathers,” responded Donald.

“Down. It’s called fairy down by you humans. But to the problem.

Your arms don’t have the strength to lift yourself from the bath. First, I suggest you empty the bath.

This will make the bath walls less slippery. Then you have to turn over. Your arms are stronger in pushing mode than in pulling mode. You should be able to push yourself up to a kneeling position.”

“Right, I’ll try that, but first the turnover. I don’t think I can manage that.”

“Nonsense, what do you think I’m here for? Just put your right hand on the left edge of the bath and I’ll do the rest.”

With the last of his energy Donald found himself on his knees in the bath and then standing up.

When he looked to thank Ez for his help there was no one there.

A few weeks later while shaving Donald dropped the little brush used to clean the razor head. It vanished under the dresser.

He knew he could not retrieve it as his knees were too weak to allow him to kneel and get up again.

While chewing over his problem Donald was again confronted by a flash of light. Ez was standing by the window.

“Hello Don. In trouble again,” Ez observed. “Just put both hands on the window sill and gently lower yourself onto the carpet.

That should allow you to retrieve the brush.”

Donald managed to do this, “That’s the easy part. How do I get up?” he asked.

Ez told Donald to crawl along the floor until he reached the bed. “You should be able to pull yourself up there,” and he did.

On several more occasions Ez came to Donald’s assistance until his failing memory and strength forced him to move into a Retirement Village.

There Ez was Donald’s constant companion.

The other residents were well acquainted with Donald apparently talking to himself while he sat watching motor racing on TV or was sitting in the garden.

For all I know, they are still there, living happily ever after.

• Blairlogie Writer’s Group usually meets on the last Friday of each month (except in December) in the Wairarapa Genealogy Society rooms, next to the Archive, on Queen St in Masterton at 1.30pm.

• If you wish to submit your creative writing for consideration, email midweek@age.co.nz.

If possible try to have a person to hold/attend each animal, making sure the animals clearly see each other. Don’t let them get closer if the either animal shows fear or anxiety at this stage.

If you are introducing your new cat to a dog and the dog ‘stares’ at the cat without taking his eyes off, this is usually a sign of too much excitement or potential aggression. Try to ‘snap’ the dog out of this by distracting him. If your dog has a strong ‘prey drive’ then it will take multiple training sessions to teach him to relax and accept the new cat, before letting him any closer.

When animals are looking relaxed is the best time to introduce them, but only under supervision.

A relaxed cat will not ‘stare’ and will walk around quite happily with its tail up in the air. A relaxed dog shows little interest in the cat and is focussed on his owner.

Some cats are quite territorial and will defend their house against a new cat.

L-tryptophan.

Regularly we get asked advice about introducing a new cat to the household. Many dogs and cats can live harmoniously together.

But it doesn’t always work out.

In this chat I will give you some tips that will hopefully help introduce new cats safely.

First try to think about what your current dog/cats attitude has been towards other cats.

If your dog gets along with your present cat but chases the neighbour’s cat, then he will be likely to try and chase the new cat.

Or if you already have a multi cat household, then your established cats might feel less threatened by a potential new ‘friend’.

Drunken Nanny The Martinborough region is renowned as one of the finest areas in the nation for producing quality products – be it wine, cheese, and other plentiful delicacies.

In addition to this reputation, award winning long-time locals Amanda and Lindsey Goodman have gladly taken on goats as ‘their thing,’ and now have a show and tell on the national televised series Country Calendar.

Amanda and Lindsey Goodman founded their Martinborough-based gourmet goat’s cheese label The Drunken Nanny back in 2015 after deciding their herd of pet goats had grown so large it was time they began earning their keep.

“My children were intolerant to cows’ milk but not goats’, so we started milking the pet for our family to drink,” Amanda said.

The ‘Drunken Nanny’ brand embodies what Kiwi farming is all about.

Taking the advantageous landscape and resources New Zealand has to offer, and utilising them mindfully, with careful consideration for all three elements of a successful business – planet, people, profit.

“We are fundamentally a farm

business with a value adding cheese operation”, Amanda said.

“It takes a lot of hard work, integrity and gut burning passion, and we also want to ensure we are protecting the natural environment and being economically responsible

Wairarapa Midweek

Water project on thin ice

27

DON FARMER The future of the Water Wairarapa project could be in the balance with the scrapping of the Crown Irrigation Fund by the new government in what is being seen as a first step in backtracking away from big irrigation.

But the project’s director Michael BassettFoss, said last week investigative work on the project would be on-going.

He rejected claims Water Wairarapa was an irrigation scheme, instead referring to it as a “regional resilience project” that would involve not only the storage of water for farming and horticulture but also for future proofing urban water supplies and improving waterways.

Mr Bassett-Foss accepted the new government had a “different philosophy” to the previous administration.

He said the “devil would be in the detail” and the project team would be monitoring what happens as the months unfold.

The coalition government agreement simply referred to honouring existing Crown Irrigation investment commitments while sending a clear signal the government would not back irrigation or water storage schemes as the National government had.

“But for the time being we have a job of work to go ahead and do,” Mr Bassett-Foss said.

When there was clarity over future funding the project team would review the situation and if it got to the stage where insufficient money was available, even by tapping into funds from councils or from private investment, then the last option could be to mothball the project.

A leading critic of the Water Wairarapa project, consultant Peter Fraser, said the new government was saying schemes that

had “already left the station” such as the Central Plains scheme could proceed “but don’t hold your breath about the rest.”

The Wairarapa project was still at the feasibility stage “and nowhere near ready to build.”

There didn’t appear to be any commitment from Crown Irrigation to honour anything as it hadn’t made any commitment to the Wairarapa scheme.

Mr Fraser said the economics of the Water Wairarapa project had never stacked up.

“In my view the scheme has been a zombie for quite a while and the change of

government will finally put it in the ground.”

Mr Fraser said as Water Wairarapa had abandoned any further work on Tividale as a dam option South Wairarapa would miss out anyway, even if the scheme went ahead.

“It’s outside the Black Creek command area.”

He said at best Water Wairarapa would irrigate 20,000ha out of a 660,000ha area “or about three per cent.”

“This makes arguments about resilience, and protecting against climate change little more than a fantasy.”

On the urban water angle Mr Fraser said a “tiny’ buy-in for urban water would not

drag an “uneconomic and non-viable scheme over the line.”

Greenpeace has warned against “possible backdoor taxpayer funding” for big irrigation schemes.

The irrigation lobby was already putting its hands up for money from the coalition’s billion- dollar regional development fund.

“That would be terrible news for New Zealand’s already polluted rivers.”

Greenpeace campaigner Gen Toop said until government rules out funding irrigation from all taxpayer sources rivers would remain “threatened by big irrigation and more cows.”

ADVERTORIAL

SHERYL ROODERKIRK AND KRIS TOWGOOD now working for Provincial

Alan Jervis Wilks as Charles Kane, in The Killing of Kane.

PHOTOS/SUPPLIED

Greytown screen actor remembered ELISA VORSTER

A variety of impressive performances in ground breaking roles spanning over three decades is how most people will remember Greytown actor Alan Jervis Wilks, who died last week.

Working under the screen name Alan Jervis, ‘Hang on a Minute Mate!’ and the 1970’s film ‘Skin Deep’ are just some of the well-known works he acted in.

His son David Wilks said the most memorable performance for him was his father’s role

as Charles Kane in ‘The Killing of Kane’, where he won an award for best performance.

However, his father was a bit reluctant to attend the awards ceremony as he always believed that all his peers were equal.

“He thought all actors were the same, there aren’t any better or worse actors”.

Mr Wilks said his father’s career was successful because of his versatility as an actor.

His refusal to be typecast meant he always had constant work even in difficult times.

Despite his on-screen success, one of the things his family will remember him for is always having a Labrador dog by his side and his passion for vegetable gardening, of which there were many grateful recipients of his produce in the Greytown area.

He also had a great love of the outdoors and conservation, which was reflected in a request for donations to Wetland conservation, Ducks Unlimited, in lieu of flowers at his funeral last week.

Mr Wilks was 87 years old.

Provincial Insurance Brokers is proud to welcome Sheryl Rooderkirk and Kris Towgood to its insurance broking team.

Sheryl and Kris are based at Provincial’s Chapel Street, Masterton office, but most often you will find them out and about visiting clients in their homes, workplaces or on their farms.

Because Provincial are independent brokers, they are able to offer the broad spectrum of insurance products available, and tailor these to each person’s specifi c needs.

Their advice is free to their clients and both Sheryl and Kris find their advice most valuable for business owners, tradesmen, farmers and contractors, or anyone who needs personal insurance advice.

Sheryl’s speciality is fire and general insurance while Kris focuses on income insurance, ACC and debt protection advice. They enjoy teaming up to provide a complete insurance package for each other’s clients.

Kris grew up in Masterton and had a successful career in retail management in the Wairarapa, Wellington and Manawatu before becoming an insurance broker in 2010, moving back to the Wairarapa in 2012.

Sheryl started her career at Provincial Insurance 14 years ago, going on to work in Wellington for an underwriter and then an insurance broker in Upper Hutt where she was nominated for Emerging Broker of the year among three other finalists in 2012. She then came back to the Wairarapa to work as a commercial and rural broker four years ago.

Provincial Insurance Brokers is proud to be 100 percent Wairarapa owned and operated, founded in 1993 by Director Michael Weeks who grew up here.

Provincial is part of the Steadfast Group, giving access to competitive rates and Policy wordings while maintaining a close personal relationship with its New Zealand-wide clients.

Sheryl and Kris can arrange a free insurance programme appraisal, and then find the best and widest cover available at the most competitive premiums.

“Much of our contact is ‘upfront and personal' because the better we know our clients, the better service we can provide,” says Kris. “Unlike generic insurance products and advice from a bank and found online, ours are tailored to meet individual requirements.”

The first thing Sheryl asks her new clients is “what they want from their insurance and what they expect it to do.”

Often people are not getting the most out of their existing insurance cover, she says.

“A lot of people are under-insured or not appropriately covered. We can fix that. We also make sure that the wording is correct so that when they go to make a claim they are actually covered.”

Sheryl and Kris’s advice is ideal for people who are starting their own business, as well as anyone who wants to get more out of the money they are already spending on insurance, Kris say’s.

“The insurance we offer is much more comprehensive and can also be more cost efficient and effective. Sometimes you are not spending less money, but you are getting much more for what you spend.”

Provincial Insurance also takes away much of the stress when making claims, advocating on the client’s behalf during the claims process.

Sheryl and Kris welcome new clients for a free appraisal Phone 06 370 0450 or call into the Provincial Insurance office at 107 Chapel St, Masterton.

Michael O’Connor, one of the stars of the Dalefield women’s team who won the Wellington premier division for the second year running, picked up the award at the annual Hockey Wairarapa Awards and Volunteer Recognition Evening last month.

Her form in 2017 saw her selected in the Capital women’s squad which finished seventh in the National Hockey League.

Her parents, Karen and Michael, also had a successful night at the awards.

Karen won the ‘Supporter of the Year’ award for her role as Dalefield women’s team manager, and Michael narrowly missed out on the ‘Coach of the Year’ accolade for his efforts with the same Dalefield team.

For Karen, hockey had only become a major part of her life when her daughter took it up at the age of five.

“This is [Dalefield’s] second year back in the Wellington competition, so I’ve been doing it for the two years.

“Before that, I’ve always managed rep teams, and when she was playing at primary school I ran

the Dalefield juniors.”

She said nerves were always there when watching her daughter play, but some years were harder than others.

“It wasn’t as bad this year because they’d already won the year before.

“Last year I was really nervous but this year it was more anxiety I would say . . . it was definitely a different feeling this year.”

Dalefield claimed this year’s title with a hard-fought 2-0 win over Eastern Hutt at the National Hockey Stadium in Wellington.

It is likely it will remain a family affair at Dalefield when the team re-assembles for a shot at a remarkable three-peat of titles in 2018.

“I’m sure I’ll be back unless someone else steps up,” Karen said.

“That’s part of the reason we do it, because no one else comes along and says ‘I’ll do that’.”

The Hockey Wairarapa Awards night also saw a special award presented to Murray Nielsen, and the inaugural presentation of the Paul Sargeant Award.

Nielsen has been involved with hockey in the Wairarapa for many years as a player, coach, manager and supporter.

He has spent a significant amount of time on both the Hockey Wairarapa and Dalefield committees and continues to mow

and spray the grass areas at the complex without ever being asked.

The Paul Sargeant Award was awarded to Dave Murray for his contribution to the Kia Kaha Hockey Club in Greytown.

Murray was a dedicated hockey man who volunteered many hours to both coaching and playing the sport, and sadly passed away in September 2016.

CRICKET JAKE BELESKI Hayden Barrett delivered with bat and ball to propel Lansdowne to their first victory in Wairarapa Cricket’s Umpires Cup on Saturday.

Lansdowne won the toss and sent Greytown into bat at Memorial Park in Greytown, and it proved an inspired decision as the home team slumped to 34-3 after Barrett dismantled their top order.

Greytown opener Mark Childs and middle order batsman Paul Little scored 48 apiece, but it proved in vain as the rest of the batsmen offered little resistance, eventually being bundled out for 140 in 41.5 overs.

Barrett finished with the economical figures of 5-24 from his 10 overs, and had valuable support from John Ryan, who finished with 3-9 off six overs.

Barrett capped off an impressive display by top scoring for Lansdowne in their run chase, opening the batting and scoring 31 off 38 balls.

He found handy support from Jack Forrester (19), Dylan Price (21) and Regan Fricker (27), as Lansdowne eventually won by four wickets, reaching 141-6 in 34.5 overs.

The game was in the balance when Lansdowne had reached 85-4, but a couple of telling partnerships ensured they would

get over the line for the first time this season.

In Saturday’s other match, the Rathkeale College first XI handed Red Star their first defeat of the campaign, and in the process joined them at the top of the points table.

Rathkeale won the toss and elected to bat at their home ground, and a couple of half centuries helped them reach 183-9 from their 50 overs.

Openers Gus Borren (22) and Anthony Sprowson (19) provided a solid enough start, but it was the middle order that did most of the damage.

Quinn Childs scored 50 off 78 balls, and Stephen Sprowson 60 off 87 to make sure Rathkeale would reach a competitive target.

Red Star looked to be on track at 64-1, but the loss of opener Nathan Elliot for 41 off 33 balls was the beginning of the end.

Only Robbie Anderson (12) and Zac Caldwell (22) reached double figures as Red Star faded to be all out for 127 in 32.5 overs.

The star for Rathkeale with the ball was Jake McIntyre, who claimed 6-29 from 9.5 overs.

Childs finished with one wicket, while there were also three run outs.

The results mean Red Star and Rathkeale are now tied on 10 points, with Red Star’s superior run rate keeping them in top position.

Greytown and Lansdowne both have four points from their three matches to date.

Rathkeale’s Stephen Sprowson scored a very handy 60 from 87 deliveries.

Rugby stalwart’s volunteering recognised JAKE BELESKI Sid Tatana has had plenty of people tell him he’s mad for his unwavering commitment to rugby, but his response is the same every time – “bugger it”.

The 76-year-old is a finalist for New Zealand Rugby’s Charles Munro Volunteer of the Year award, which will be presented at their awards night next month in Auckland.

Tatana has a long coaching history in Wairarapa, which includes helping out with club, school and representative teams for the last 40 years.

He said his first passion was rugby league, but he quickly became involved with rugby union when he first moved to Wairarapa.

“My first club I played for here was Pioneer, and then I played for Marist before I left there and came down to Palliser Bay. “Then I got involved with Tuhirangi down here, and I’ve been chasing jobs all over Wairarapa.”

Long road trips are a regular occurrence for Tatana, who usually travels 1.5 hours each way just to get to and from his team’s trainings.

He coached a dominant Eketahuna women’s team from 2009-2012, and said the travel wasn’t an issue because the girls were so committed.

“I used to travel from here to Masterton, and then catch the van up to Eketahuna, and then do the reverse back.

“I don’t know how many kilometres it was but I didn’t worry about that – of all the teams I coached I think they were probably the best, in the sense of commitment.”

In 2016, Tatana coached the East Coast premier team, travelling over two hours each way just to make trainings.

He also coached the Makoura College juniors, and the Wairarapa-Bush Maori Under-18s.

Accolades were never the reason for his coaching commitments, but he said he still loves what he is doing.

“Everybody says ‘you’re mad’, but bugger it.

“I do what I do because I like it, and as long as you like it, you might as well keep on going.”

Tatana said he was concerned for the future of some of Wairarapa’s more rural clubs, as they simply didn’t have the player base to compete with clubs in more urban regions.

“I think not having the player base will be a real problem for some teams in the future.

“A lot of the players come from Masterton, and it’s easier to train just down the road than travel from Masterton all the time.”

Tatana will head to Auckland next month for the awards ceremony, an occasion he was looking forward to.

“They’re going to fly us up there and accommodate us – everything is pretty much covered.

“It was a surprise to find out I was a finalist, but it’s good.”

Sid Tatana.
