BEHIND THE SCENES IN HELL Not only is the food at Masterton’s Hell Pizza free-range – our staff are too. Our eclectic troupe of young people have stars in their eyes and tricks up their sleeves. We’ve got everything from aspiring property tycoons to pilots – and all of them have a passion for making and delivering the best quality pizzas in town. We’re leaving our competition for dead with sales up 45 per cent on last year – all thanks to our little mischief makers. Our staff are hardworking, die-hard pizza-lovers, and they aren’t shy of a bit of banter either – we’ve got a few cheeky customers who we consider part of the Hell family. So, whether you’re a little devil or angel-indisguise, buckle up, enjoy the ride, and welcome to Hell.

JACOB COOKE-TAIT At only 17, Jacob is the duty manager at Hell. His plan for when he turns 18 in May is to buy his first home – he’s already got $30k saved up and works 55 hours each week to make that coin flow. He’s got a lot of banter with other staff members – and sometimes he gets in trouble for it, but the best banter, he says, is between himself and Ed the ‘Salt King’.

WILLIAM KEEDWELL William started working at Hell when he was 18, bought his first house at 19, and then at the age of 25 bought Hell Masterton. His hardworking, but easy-going nature has inspired his team to achieve their life goals.

JAYDEN MACKENZIE

BROOKE LIVERTON

ISAAC DAVIES

Studying construction at UCOL, Jayden has his sights set on saving up for a Lexus. In the meantime, the Hell Pizza delivery vehicle will have to satisfy his need for speed.

Though she may look like an angel-in-disguise, Brooke is a selfconfessed mischief maker. She loves the close friendships and friendly banter that comes with the role at Hell – it’s her second family.

If you ask Isaac what he reckons about Hell pizzas, he’ll tell you, “they’re pretty good aye”. Isaac is a “pretty chilled out” guy and is saving money to study accounting at Massey University.

KYALL JACKSON

KARINA GOUGH

JAMES MITCHELL

One day, Kyall hopes to work in the army as either a mechanic or armourer – “so, cars or guns”. His main hobby is cars and so there’s no surprise he does mostly driving for Hell deliveries.

Karina is a Hell veteran, having worked for the company for 16 years – now in the capacity of staff trainer. Also a yoga teacher, Karina brings cool calm to the high energy workplace.

James has sky high dreams with aspirations of becoming an airline pilot. He only just got his restricted licence and has been making deliveries for Hell, but he’s learning the ropes of pizza-making too.

DYLAN IRVING

TORI-MARIE PARTRIDGE

MAX MITCHELL

Dylan Irving is the prodigal son of Hell – he had worked there for about a year before leaving for two months only to return again. He loves being able to joke around in the workplace.

Wairarapa born and bred, it’s coming up seven years of service to Hell for mum-of-two Tori-Marie. She loves the chilled-out atmosphere at Hell and the people she works with – “they’re a really good bunch”.

A ball of energy, Max has a massive passion for working. If he wants something, he’ll work hard for it. Max has made good pizza, great friends, and is saving to buy a car.

ED DE LARA-BELL Eighteen-year-old Ed has grand plans to be a property developer. He plans on buying his first home at the end of the year. Ed’s a bit of an angel-in-disguise – he spent his summer gardening at an older person’s home in Masterton. But that doesn’t mean to say Ed can’t handle the heat at Hell – “There’s a lot of banter – we’re all young and working towards goals we want to succeed in”.

Autism - a parent’s experience Eli Hill “I want people to realise that autism doesn’t define someone, it’s the person that defines someone.” As part of autism awareness month being held throughout April, Midweek talked to Maree, the parent of a teenage girl with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Maree’s daughter was diagnosed with autism aged four and there have been challenges both for her daughter and the family that Maree wanted to share to help people gain a better understanding of the disorder. Maree said that during primary school her daughter had come home on the bus to find that every girl in school had been invited to a party except for her. “My lovely little girl came home one day and on the bus were all the girls from her classroom, they got off and hopped on the back of the trailer and all these girls on the trailer went down to someone’s house that was having a birthday party.” Maree said that next thing she knew her daughter was scootering down the driveway wearing gumboots, a pink fluffy jacket and gold tights. “She scoots down the

drive and stands next to this house and listens to these girls having fun at this party and she doesn’t go in and she just hops back on her scooter and comes back and just cries and cries and cries. “That broke my heart like you would not believe,

that people could be so exclusive, as to not include her.” Maree said people need to look beyond the disorder and see the person. “I’m really wanting people to accept people for who they are. I tend to say to people when they meet

my daughter for the first time – you have to love her. “If you love someone or something it makes it a whole lot easier to deal with someone or something because it makes it a lot easier to deal with the behaviour because you see

it as the behaviour and not that person.” Another challenge, Maree said, was shifting primary schools after the family moved. “Our daughter had all the support at her previous school with teacher aides and individual education plans and we turn up at this new school and it’s like ‘Nope, we don’t do special needs at this school. We treat all the kids the same.’ “With a kid that’s on the spectrum, they often have sensory issues and so a classroom can be quite maddening for someone who’s on that spectrum, so to be totally ignored of any of her needs was a real slap in the face and she didn’t have a good time at that school at all.” Now at high school, Maree said her daughter is “flourishing.” “I just can’t believe what a change a school can make to a child. They accept her for who she is, she’s really intelligent. “You’ve just got to accept them for who they are. Some of us are bossy and some of us aren’t, that doesn’t mean you should exclude us, that’s just how we rock and roll.” Maree’s advice for parents of kids on the autism spectrum is to take some time to process before

searching for help. “When our child was diagnosed you go through a whole grieving process because your child looks like a normal baby, but they do things a bit differently and then all of a sudden you’re on another track. “Sit on it a bit and process it then go look for help. In Wairarapa we have Autism Wairarapa which is a great place to source information, they can point you to the services that are in the area and can listen to you.” Among the services Maree recommends is Wairarapa DHB’s FOCUS service which offers respite care and can help, put into organisations that provide psychologists to support people in the house. Autism Wairarapa also have a support group for parents of autistic children to discuss what’s been going on, and to find out that there are other parents out there. “A lot of parents will put themselves into isolation. They won’t want to take themselves out or their children out because they’ll be questioned or judged and that’s not okay. “There’s nothing wrong with their child, they just dance to a different beat.”

Central Martinborough is bound to become a whole lot safer, with the business community rallying to get security cameras installed. Two of six new cameras planned for the town will have vehicle number plate recognition capacity, which will be able to assist police in criminal investigations. If police are after a person or vehicle of interest, they will be able to programme in a number plate and the camera technology will be able to alert authorities if it turns up in Martinborough. Martinborough Business Association [MBA] is behind the camera installation initiative. Chairman Peter Couchman said the key driver of the

or more. “Makoura is growing to accept and breakdown the barriers to mental health,” Iasona said. “This is another step forward.” Nicole Allen from Life Pharmacy in Masterton described it as “an important cause”. “If you start young then you may not get to a crisis point later in life. They need to be able to express

their feelings.” Food For Thought in Masterton also got behind the cause in a different way by encouraging their customers to participate. All customers who went wearing their gumboots who purchased a coffee paid for it and a donation for the normal price of a cup of coffee, with 50 per cent donated to the cause.

association was to make Martinborough a great place to live, work and play. “Part of that is to provide security around the square so people feel safe, and it keeps the undesirable elements out of our village. “As we are so remote, we are a soft target.” Security cameras mounted on some Martinborough businesses have already helped police to catch offenders, and the additional cameras will ensure more areas in the town are covered. The project is expected to cost $30,000, which included installation and will cover maintenance of the security system for the next three years. “MBA are going to put a significant amount in to seed-fund it, and a Givealittle [online fundraising page] has

been set up to get us to the number we need to push the go button.” The Martinborough Community Board has given $1000 to the project, and Couchman said the association would be canvasing widely for funding from other community organisations. He said smashed shop windows and burnouts were examples of “unruly behaviour” the town could do without. It was about standing up against crime and hardening Martinborough as a target. Local business Securitel won the tender for the MBA project. Only police will have access to the security footage. Sergeant Richie Day of South Wairarapa police said the cameras would help prevent crime.

School’s out for Rogerson Eli Hill After 20 years at the helm of Solway College, it’s no surprise that principal Elizabeth Rogerson says she’ll ﬁnd it diﬃcult to leave. Rogerson will step down at the end of term two in July, handing over the reins to a yet to be appointed successor. While the decision to leave was not taken lightly Rogerson said it was time for someone new to set the school’s direction. The school’s roll is currently 161, the highest it’s been since the 1960s. “I think that’s one of the reasons why now is a good time, the school is growing, there’s some challenges ahead — obviously we’ve got some challenges with Tomorrow’s Schools changing the way we do things.” “We’re looking to do some hostel expansion and we can’t grow any more until we do. “We’ve also got the equestrian centre up and running. It’s buzzing so it just feels like a good time to let a new person

take over.” Before taking up the principal position at Solway, Rogerson had been deputy principal at Taumarunui High School. “We were looking for a family-move and I was attracted to Solway because it was diﬀerent. “I didn’t intend to stay 20 years, but certain circumstances meant I did – the special character of the school, the nature of the community and because Masterton is a fantastic place to live and to work.” Her highlights had been “undoubtedly” the achievements of students who have passed through the school. “This school’s quite special. It’s got a real focus on doing the best job it can for each student, so the achievement of individual students is the highlight. “These kids come in and they achieve, quite often beyond their own expectations which is really special.” The fact that many students stayed in touch with the school and keep coming back even after

graduating was proof, Rogerson said, that it had been meaningful in their lives. “Some of the things that I have been proudest of in the school is some of the students who have had struggles and who have come through that and done wonderfully well in terms of their own personal achievement rather than being a statistic. “We’ve got wonderful kids, and a fantastic community and that makes it work.” Rogerson said that after the final bell rings she’s going to take a break, have a rest and spend time with family as well as doing things she hasn’t had time for. After that? “Well, we’ll see where we go from there. “I’ll find it really hard to leave. I will, because I’ve been here a long time. But also, because I really enjoy working with the kids and the staff and the school and their families. It’s a very supportive environment. “It’s been a real privilege to work with so many wonderful people.”

Time to give tower some wow What if little old Carterton took a bold step that got it a whole lot more attention than it did with the nationwide coverage of the “cool shit” signage on the public loos? Living in Carterton, one of life’s simple pleasures is the sound of the clock tower bells. When pottering about in the garden sans smartphone, disconnected from “always on” technology, there’s a peculiar delight in hearing the “Big Ben” call, waiting for the pause and then counting off the hours. It’s a lo-fi analogue experience in a digital world. There’s even a community feel to it, as the sounds only carry so far. Someone born within the sound of Bow Bells is the romantic and wellaccepted definition of a cockney. Defining a proud subculture from the hearing range of bells isn’t unheard of. It’s a part of the Carterton identity. However, visually, the clock tower is somewhat bland. It doesn’t have the dominance of the Feilding clock tower or the beauty and war memorial value of the Te Aroha clock tower. But, it is a notable

Comment

Mike Osborne What do you need to stop people in their tracks? You need éclat. Something unique with a wow factor. structure on the Carterton skyline and could play a far more important role. Currently, the bells are mute. The clock tower is surrounded by scaﬀolding undergoing earthquake strengthening. With this necessary work going on, there’s a big opportunity to refresh the tower and its surrounding precinct. A few years ago, a “place making” initiative was launched in Carterton with the help of David Engwicht who specialises in reviving public spaces and small towns. One of his core ideas was to get people passing through Carterton to slow

down and, ideally, stop. This would up the odds of them engaging with food and beverage purveyors, and local retailers. What do you need to stop people in their tracks? You need éclat. Something unique with a wow factor. Maybe not quite paint the Carterton clock tower pink with purple polka dots, as has been suggested. It would certainly be eye-catching but may not say much else. A more recent proposal is that the clock tower be painted with a giant rainbow. That would be éclat. Visually stunning and conveying a message of acceptance and inclusion. Who wouldn’t want to be associated with the ﬁrst rainbow clock tower in the world? The paint supplier might even oﬀer the paint for free. In a recent survey, the word that Cartertonians used most to describe Carterton was “friendly”. Let’s say it big, loud and proud.

GARDEN

YARN

WITH MOON CALENDAR

LAYERING BULBS

Plant bulbs now for a

BLOOMING GREAT SPRING DISPLAY

NEW MOON - April 5TH FULL MOON - April 19TH

MOON PLANTING TIPS THIS WEEK April 10-15

Spring is such a dramatic time of year – baby animals are born, blossoms emerge from dormant trees and gardens all over burst into a crescendo of colour & fragrance provided by spring bulbs that were PLANTED NOW! It’s a terrible feeling to realise too late that all your favourites have sold – or even worse – you’ve forgotten to plant them at all! Don’t let this happen to you – come in and get everything you need to create your Spectacular Spring Garden.

WHERE TO PLANT:

Bulbs look wonderful in pots or the garden. If planting in the garden then choose a place that has lots of sun and well drained soil (they don’t like wet feet). Clear the area of weeds as this can make it hard for the bulbs to push through.

HOW TO PLANT:

Check the back of the packet for specific planting instructions, as some go in point up, some claws down and they have different depth & spacing requirements. If you’re unsure which way the bulb goes then put it on its side – it will make its own way up to the sunshine. It’s a good idea to mark the area where you’ve planted so you don’t accidentally dig them up! We have garden labels to help with this.

NOURISH:

Feed your bulbs when planting, when the stems begin to appear, when starting to flower and when dying down. This will encourage vivid colours, fragrance and good health. Kings Bulb Food is good for the garden, or for both pots & garden ican 24-Plus Slow Food (liquid feeding with ican Fast Food will also

give a good boost).

WHAT TO PLANT? There’s a lot of choice out there – different colours, smells, blooming times etc, so come in and have a look at the bright packaging for inspiration. Here’s a few pointers to get you started: Anemones & Ranunuclus: These are best chilled for around 4 weeks, and when taken out of the fridge soak the corms in tepid water to rehydrate for around 6 hours. If you have the time you can germinate them in a cool spot between sheets of wet newspaper, or plant into seed trays CLAWS DOWN to get them started. Tulips: These are another type that love to be chilled (remember to keep away from fruit & veggies). Inspect every 14 days while they’re in the fridge and when you notice swelling at the base of each bulb they’re ready

This process can ensure that you get a long lasting display of spring bulbs, whether in the garden or in containers. Not all bulbs are buried at the same depth, nor do they all bloom at the same time. There are a number of combinations that work well for layering, such as Crocus, Muscari, Tulip & Daffodils (pictured), or you can work out your own way by reading the back of packets or of course search the internet for many different variations.

CARTERTON DISTRICT

COUNCIL SNIPPETS Carterton stands with Christchurch Our Carterton community has shown a great level of support to the Christchurch community over the past month. We have been collecting cards filled with messages of love and support which will be distributed to the families of the victims by Sending Love NZ.

Still working around the clock

There is still time to drop some off in the drop box next to the condolence book and donation box at The Laptop and iPhone Shop on High St Carterton.

POOL INSPECTIONS ALMOST COMPLETE We have almost finished our first round of residential pool inspections. The new pool safety legislation which took effect on 1 January 2017 means we need to make inspections every three years. Out of the 452 pools we know about, 430 have been inspected, with the majority passing the requirements, and 109 in the process of completion. We are really grateful for the patience and cooperation of owners on something which was put in place to keep kids safe and reduce the number of drownings.

The important earthquake strengthening work required on our town clock is now well underway, so while you can currently see the bells, you still won’t be able to hear them. Don’t be alarmed if you notice this work is slowly ticking along, as good things take time. We will also be seeking your feedback on potential new paint colours, so watch this space and keep an eye on our Facebook page for more information on how you can let us know which one you like the best.

Waiwaste Carterton collects 6 tonnes in 6 months The council was able to celebrate with Waiwaste Carterton as it turned six months old last month.

The community run group has been pretty busy during that time, collecting an average of 250kg of leftover food from New World Carterton to turn into food packages for those in need. This is a fantastic community initiative supported by very generous organisations and volunteers, including Food Bank, Wairarapa Safer Community Trust, Carterton Baptist Church, South End Kindy, Salvation Army, R2R and Carter Court. Waiwaste also gets great

TE REO SNIPPETS HE PITOPITO KŌRERO Last month our councillors made a significant decision to embrace Te Reo Māori and implement bilingual signage throughout the district. The first step in this process will be to have discussions with our whānau at Hurunui o Rangi Marae to develop the layout, translation and design of the signage. The idea is to recognise the cultural names within our district and reveal more about the history of various landmarks throughout Carterton. We invite you on this journey with us as we begin to delve into this aspect of Carterton’s cultural heritage and share these stories with you here over the next few months.

Wastewater Treatment Plant progress update

Steve Carson, who keeps the whole waka sailing along smoothly!

You may have bumped into some of our councillors at Page 42 Café and Gelato recently. This was a great opportunity to get out in the community and chat about the things which are important to you. These informal chats are a great way of you letting the council know your feedback on the services and facilities it provides.

March was a busy month down at our Daleton Farm Wastewater Treatment Plant, with work on the bulk filling of the existing ephemeral watercourse taking place. We also started ground water drainage, commenced with

the installation of the collector manholes and did some onsite compactor testing. Some of our councillors and council staff had the chance to get onsite and see the progress being made. We were all amazed by how

much work has been done since the last time we were there and the sheer size of the project. We will keep updating you with photos on our new page http://cdc.govt.nz/wastewatertreatment-plant-upgradeproject/

This is just one way we can make it easier for you to get access to decision-making, which is one of the things we learnt you want more of from your responses in the 2018 Residents Survey results. You’ll also have plenty of opportunity to chat with us during our upcoming Annual Plan consultation as we seek your feedback on some of our proposed projects.

Keep an eye out for muddy footprints

2009 Volvo C30

Last Friday thousands of people around the country wore gumboots as part of Mike King’s campaign to raise $2 million to fund mental health counselling for young people dealing with depression. It was a clever idea – simple for people to become involved in, and ideal for businesses and schools to get behind without too much cost, or risk. The premise was that for people suffering from depression, life is like constantly walking through mud – hence the gumboots. Personally, though, the times I am wearing gumboots are generally among the times I am happiest. I will be outside, doing something that may be testing me physically and possibly my manual skills. For me it is easy for the rest of the world to drift away when I’m digging, yanking, hacking, pulling,

Piece of mind

Steve Rendle nailing, inevitably re-nailing, and generally getting dirty in the process. I am fortunate to have never experienced the depths of depression, but when I’m tired, anxious and feeling a little isolated, it feels like I can sense those darklands not too far away. For me, perspective is the key – and having someone to help me put things into perspective is essential. When you’re young, perspective is often one of those things you just can’t find. It is one thing life can’t help but provide you – the ability to look back through different eyes. And having looked

back, sometimes you can use that view — that perspective — to help you move forward. The idea that every step of life is like struggling through mud is a daunting one, where perspective is difficult to find, and all energy is spent just trying to put one foot in front of another. In that situation, it’s tough to expect those doing the hard yards through the “mud” to take their eyes off what’s in front of them and reach out for help. It is up to those on firmer ground to look out for those that may need a hand, or a foot up. Keep an eye out for muddy footprints.

16 Wairarapa Midweek Extra Wednesday, April 10, 2019 ARATOI KEEPERS

Historic Masterton manhole cover This manhole cover was gifted to Aratoi by archivist Gareth Winter. The story of the manufacture of manhole covers in Masterton starts a long time ago, and features the Ewington family, whose foundry was on the corner of King and Queen streets – where Master Bowl now stands. When James and Annie Ewington migrated to New Zealand with their family in 1874, they immediately came to Masterton, and were quickly in business — they would run various services: a boarding house,

blacksmiths, farriers, wheelwrights, bicycle and motorcycle sales, servicing cars, and in 1906, they advertised a new brass and iron foundry. Among the work undertaken by the foundry was the casting of various manhole covers for the Masterton Borough Council. As well as conventional round covers for the sewer system, their company produced a range of square inspection covers, a variety of which can still be found on the footpath in Queen St, and near Come Sew

With Me on Dixon St. James’ and Annie’s son, James Charles or ‘JC’ Ewington, continued to run the business until his death in 1943, by which time it was the largest engineering and foundry works in the district. A very keen lawn bowler, he died on the greens in Masterton Park. His obituary stated that as well as the engineering business, he also owned a large farm in the Mikimiki

area and said he had an enviable record of public service, serving on the council for 19 years with several public organisations. The manhole cover is on show at the museum until May 26 as part of

WAI, an exhibition about Wairarapa’s waterways, featuring more than 80 ceramic eels, and more than 400 items found along Makoura Stream, a new historical map showing Masterton’s 15 streams, and more. Gareth Winter invited Wairarapa artist AnnaMarie Kingsley to use the manhole cover as an inspiration for a new work. Come and see! • With thanks to the Wairarapa Archive for research.

Beverley Jack Centre Manager This week I’d like to share with you another not-forprofit organisation situated at the Community Centre. The Masterton Returned and Services Association (RSA) is open Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays 10am-12pm. It seems appropriate to highlight this organisation with both Poppy Day and Anzac Day both with us this month. Poppy Day falls on Friday, April 12, with fundraising stands throughout the Masterton area. Poppies will also be available in shops and businesses. Poppy Day has been part of the New Zealand calendar since 1922 making it one of the oldest nationwide appeals. This is the one and only fundraising that the RSA undertakes, with all proceeds supporting veterans and their dependants. The poppy reminds us of sacrifice and hope, both past and present, and is a symbol of remembrance. Anzac Day 2019 is Thursday, April 25, with a dawn service being held at the Queen Elizabeth Park Cenotaph, Masterton, commencing 5.45am.

Anzac Day is coming up this month.

The Wairarapa Community Centre will be closed Easter Friday, Easter Monday, and Anzac Day.

Passionate about keeping our skin safe Wairarapa Skin Clinic has opened at 5 Park Street, Masterton. Formerly Becker Medical Services working from Selina Sutherland Hospital, the clinical team is the same, but the rooms are now purpose fitted for checking for skin cancers as well as surgery. Dr Cath Becker is a skin specialist at the top of her field. Cath does skin checks from her clinic and can treat any issues that arise thanks to a background in both general practice and surgery. “We are a one-stop shop clinic when it comes to skin,” says Cath. To keep up with high demand Dr Lynette Cherry has joined Cath one day a week to ensure that waiting lists are kept as short as possible for new spots of concern. Lynette is a General practitioner with specialist training in Skin Cancer diagnosis and surgery who has been working with Cath for a few years. Many patients are on annual recalls for skin checks as this is a recommendation for people living in the sunny conditions of New Zealand. Cath also has an excellent surgical nurse working with her, Janet Hodge, who has completed training in Dermatoscopy, which uses a specialised skin microscope. Janet can be booked for skin checks also. Office Manager Ange Rough, keeps everything running smoothly with appointments and information. Keen to stay at the very cutting edge of skin cancer treatment developments, Cath is doing extra training with the University of

I’m obsessive about finding suspicious growths or moles and removing them. Then ensuring that any surgery leaves the skin looking good, with natural symmetry.” When not working at Wairarapa Skin Clinic, Cath and Lynette are doing the same work in the public hospital system.

INTERNATIONALLY SPEAKING

Living with China in 21st Century On Wednesday 17 April, the Wairarapa branch of the Institute of International Affairs is hosting John McKinnon, twice New Zealand’s ambassador to China. At a time when there has been some uncertainty about New Zealand’s relationship with China, and following PM Jacinda Ardern’s one-day visit to the 21st century’s rapidly evolving global power, McKinnon will discuss ‘New Zealand’s China past, present and future’. New Zealand has a long relationship with China, although not as long as China’s own history. It has had many phases, a less than edifying ‘prehistory’, non-recognition in the 1950s and 1960s, and then the embracing of China in the 1970s. “Today China is our most important trade and economic partner, as well as a significant participant in regional and global affairs,” says McKinnon. “We want to hear China’s voice and we want China to hear ours. How best can we do so when we are two such different

Masterton monthly wrap April 2019

MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR Kia ora,

the typical ‘water restrictions season’. However, I want to remind everyone that water conservation needs to happen all year round. Water is one of the biggest challenges facing our district. We all need to play a role in ensuring we conserve as much as possible while Council works with other organisations to investigate longer-term solutions.

April has come and, with it, crisp cool air hinting that winter is just around the corner. For Council it’s a busy time planning our work for the 2019-20 financial year. It includes taking stock of progress we’ve made on key projects and I’m pleased to say that we’re making great progress, which you can read more about below.

It can be as simple as washing your car on the lawn or re-using ‘grey’ water in the garden. In 2020 we will start

We’re also heading towards the end of

rolling out smart water meters which will enable us to better detect water leaks and measure how much water households are using. Finally, in the next few months our expanded recycling service will launch with wheelie bins being delivered to urban households in the Wairarapa in May and June. This will give you an extra 140 litres every fortnight and help us further reduce waste to landfill. Until next month, take care and stay warm!

Annual Plan It’s the time of year when Councils take stock of progress made since the start of the financial year and whether we need to make any changes to our plans for the upcoming financial year. The good news is we’re on track with what we planned in 2018. We did a full consultation with our community last year which fed into what’s called our Long-Term Plan; our tenyear plan of activity and spending. We had some key projects planned for the second year of this ten-year plan, and we’re on track with those projects.

Town Centre Revamp Continues We’re heading towards a key milestone in our Town Centre Revamp project with what’s called ‘developed designs’ expected to be finalised by the end of the month. We’ve been working with some of the best in the business to design permanent changes for Park, Bruce and lower Queen Streets. These were the first three priority projects in our Town Centre Strategy that was adopted last year. The designs work to balance feedback from our community and businesses while also delivering on objectives set

out for each project in the Town Centre Strategy. Key aspects of the design include reclaiming road carriageway for shared pedestrian and recreation space, increasing greenery and, in Park Street, enabling active recreation space. All designs are available at www. mastertontown.nz We are expecting these designs to be finalised by the end of the month. They will then be taken to Council for decision in May.

PROJECTS UPDATE LIDO POOL

Our outdoor pool has been getting a bit of a facelift over summer with a new PVC liner put in to prevent water loss. We’ve also done some work to ensure the water stays where it belongs – in the pool! The hydro slide has also been given some attention and now, in addition to helping us conserve water, gives users a smoother ride!

We are Local Government. WWW.MSTN.GOVT.NZ

Wheelie bins for recycling coming soon A new wheelie bin kerbside recycling service will be rolled out to urban households across the Wairarapa in July, providing more capacity (an additional 140 litres per household every fortnight) for recycling and diverting waste to landfill. Participating households in the urban area (i.e. those who pay for the kerbside recycling in their rates) will receive a 240-litre wheelie bin in May or June, with collections anticipated to start in July.

QE PARK REJUVENATION

The Stage Five rejuvenation of Queen Elizabeth Park kicked off in February, focusing on the area of the park along Memorial Drive and the Lake of Remembrance.

CRICKET GRANDSTAND

Because there aren’t any significant changes with what we planned, Masterton District Council opted not to undertake the usual consultation process that normally comes with the Annual Planning process. It means that we can focus on doing our business-asusual work well and progressing key projects. Towards the end of April, you’ll receive some information about these key projects and the progress we’ve made so far – so keep an eye on your letterbox. The same information will also be available on the Council website next week.

At the start of the month we started upgrade works on the 124-year-old cricket grandstand in Queen Elizabeth Park. The project includes a major renovation as well as earthquake strengthening.

You’ll keep your recycling crates but use them both for glass only. The new wheelie bin will be for recyclables, other than glass. You’ll get more details about the service in a handy booklet with your wheelie bin. Collection of rubbish bags will stay the same. More information will be provided nearer to the roll out. Watch this space!

When you take a sip, you’re savoring a bourbon that has been produced essentially the same way by the same family for more than 200 years. Isn’t it good to know some things never go out of style!

Star signs by moonlight Sky Watch

Nick Sault This is a good week to see the burgeoning crescent moon, growing throughout the week. Also, if you are interested in locating your zodiacal sign, the moon will point a few of them out to you from night to night. With the end of daylight saving last Sunday, we don’t have to be out late to catch a dark sky. So, tonight about 7.30pm, a thin crescent moon will grace Taurus the bull. The “V” shape of the bull’s horns will be slightly south of the moon, highlighted by the red star, Aldebaran. If it is dark enough at 7pm you should catch a last sighting of Mars as it dips below the horizon. Mars has been a feature of our evening sky for a good 9 months. Say goodbye now for some time. Fast forward to the same time (7.30pm) Thursday. The moon has grown a little and is skirting the ankles of the heavenly twins. Gemini is a fairly large constellation and the moon spends a couple of days in

it, leaving it on Saturday to get swallowed by the crab. Those jumps in the moon’s progress from night to night represent how much of its orbit it is covering in a day – about a 29th of its circuit. It is heading towards that eastern horizon to emerge as a full moon later next week. But for now, the 13th, it is in Cancer. The moon is now well over half full and probably washing out the rather dim stars of the crab. Move on to Monday, and the moon is butting the Lion’s front legs. The bright star Regulus in the foot of Leo is visible close by. By Tuesday, we are leaving Leo heading east towards the Virgin, but that is another week. There should be a spectacular appearance of the International Space Station on Saturday morning, if you can drag yourself out before 6am. Look south-west down the plain before 5.45am and the ISS should appear about two hand-widths above the horizon.

It will seem to head straight at you for the first 2.5 minutes, as it comes almost directly overhead, dipping down over the next 3 minutes to disappear about one hand-width above the opposite horizon.

When it is overhead, compare it with the brilliant Venus, which will be glittering on the eastern horizon. The ISS should be almost as bright as that. If it is as bright as expected, this appearance

DUCK SHOOTING SEASON

Get set for the best season in years Wellington Fish & Game is encouraging hunters to get set for the 2019 game bird hunting season because many believe it could be the best in years. Experienced Wairarapa hunters, and those working in the wildlife field, have noted a marked increase in the number of mallards around this year. “This is unsolicited and entirely welcome feedback staff are commonly receiving,” says Wellington Fish & Game manager Phil Teal. One long-time Wairarapa hunter observed that “the last three breeding seasons were very good but this season has been exceptional.” Mr Teal says any observer who passed paddocks flooded by the deluges the region copped during spring and early summer would have noticed scores of ducks happily feeding on the worms and insects brought to the surface.

Mallards in their hundreds alight from a recently harvested grain crop

The large number of mallards isn’t mere anecdote though. Fish & Game’s counts from each of the past two years show the highest number of ducks observed in the lower North Island in over two decades of monitoring. What’s more, the trend (or pattern) reveals a real resurgence in the duck population in the Wellington Fish & Game region. A positive seven-year proportional change was recorded in the grey/mallard population for the second consecutive year and reflects the greater number of birds observed in 2018 and the general increase in bird numbers since the reduced counts from 2013. “During the 2018 counts we recorded a 20% increase in the total number counted in 2017 and a significant increase on the 2016 counts,” says Mr Teal. He points out that while mallard counts for 2019 are yet to be completed, every indication is that Wairarapa is well up on previous years given the favourable breeding conditions

and multiple broods that successfully fledged. It’s the positive data and outlook that have given rise to the Wellington Fish & Game Council opting for a similar length season but with more birds being able to be harvested – the 2019 season runs for eight weeks with a bag limit of 10 grey/mallards per hunter per day. Mr Teal also says the region’s often under-rated upland game bird resource is also going from strength to strength. “While we don’t conduct any formal counts on pheasant and quail, observations in the field and word around the traps suggests the populations are doing very well.” All in all, Mr Teal believes there’s

Go for green, let the hens pass

Wednesday, April 10, 2019 Wairarapa Midweek

Recent studies funded by Fish & Game show that as little as 35% of mallard hens will survive their first year of life.

PHOTO: HAMISH CARNACHAN

Predators – cats, stoats and hawks – take their fair share of hens but hunters are estimated to shoot at least as many hens as predators kill every year. For each one of those hens that is shot, we lose at least one brood of ducklings for the following season and subsequently have fewer ducks to hunt. Band returns suggest that hunters will shoot as many hens as drakes each year which is in stark contrast to the hunter effort in North America where game bird hunters will shoot two to three drakes per hen harvested. Clearly the Americans have a stronger conservation ethic

any calls on the weather for Opening Weekend at this early stage, but with plenty more birds around hunters should realistically expect plenty more shooting opportunities.”

Hunt smarter - start a diary A key part of any learning is experiencing success and failure. When you succeed, you note what worked well; when you fail you think about what didn’t work and how you might change it next time.

the tide is out and the water is 200 metres away, or finding that the birds don’t arrive for an evening hunt when it’s full moon and all their feeding is occurring well after legal shooting hours etc.

But how many hunters remember such details from the previous season? Probably very few, and as such we end up going through the same learning curves year-in, year-out.

By looking for patterns or consistencies in your regular hunting spots, you will become more efficient in your hunting.

The hardest part about keeping a hunting diary is being dedicated and consistent in your recording. As soon as you’ve packed away the gear after each hunt you should record the relevant details so they’re fresh in your mind, or even consider adding diary entries during quiet spells in the blind.

Being more efficient means less energy expended, less money and time wasted on going out at poor times.

If you try and do it a couple of days later there’s little doubt that memory distortion will have already crept in.

Having an accurate record of what you have shot can also assist you in making future decisions about where and when you hunt.

To make this easier, a standard template recording page prompts answers, makes detailing quick and helps in finding trends.

For example, there’s not much point having all the weather and habitat information and not recording how successful you were.

Given most of us never get all the hunting opportunities we want, it is better to learn what works and what doesn’t so we can maximise on the time we do get.

A diary is a simple way to correct the situation by recording what we did, how we did it, and what would we change. Keeping a simple diary helps us become better hunters by being increasing efficiency (both in terms of energy and in monetary terms) and provides an accurate record of what you experienced and learnt. By detailing what the weather was, wind direction, tide, moon phase, equipment used and general observations for each hunt, patterns will start to emerge as to what was successful and what didn’t work. For example, there’s not much point turning up to your maimai when

Do you continue to hunt an area which produces few birds, or do you drop it and explore other sites in hope of shooting more? This record also can settle a few arguments between mates about what happened, who shot what and how good it really was,

especially after a few years.

Start a diary and trends will certainly emerge, steering you towards becoming a smarter hunter. Source: Wellington Fish & Game wellington.fishandgame.org.nz

How to get on top of your Lakeview School principal TIM NELSON endeavours to learn something new every day by reading books, listening to podcasts, and engaging with a wide range of other content. You’ve got to put in the effort to get better. Gareth Morris is a former Commonwealth Games shooter turned ultramarathon runner. These are two very different pursuits, neither of which he had any clear natural ability for. Ultramarathon running is something that Graeme got into later in life, well after his competitive shooting career was over. Despite the late start to running, he has gone on to achieve some outstanding results in big events. When asked on the Dirt Church Radio Podcast about why he has done well in running his answer was a simple one, with the message being similar to what I have shared on countless other posts, this being that he puts in the time and effort with his training. The same attitude can be applied to anything ... if you want to be a better cook, learn more recipes and cook more; if you want to be better at computer coding, take a

Spread Happiness

More great advice from happiness expert Shawn Achor, this time around spreading happiness as a means of making us happier ourselves. Shawn suggests doing the likes of sending emails acknowledging and thanking those who have done something to benefit you or others; the two minutes it might take to do this will potentially have a lasting impact on the recipient, as well as making yourself feel happier for sending the message.

Who knows? Your act may lead to the recipient doing the same thing, spreading the happiness vibe.

Email Bankruptcy

Declaring an email bankruptcy is an idea I heard from author and podcast host Tim Ferris. It is the sort of thing that can really only be done once, or with a significant time gap between doing it again. Bankruptcy is something you probably only want to experience once. Email bankruptcy is simple and should be done when you feel overwhelmed with the number of emails in your inbox. All that’s required is to delete or archive every email, regardless of who it is from.

Many will have been spam, some would have been those that didn’t really need to be read, some would have required an action from you, and others would be relatively important. Regardless, with any emails if they are important the sender will get back to you, but by then you should have

control of your inbox. A fresh start can be a great opportunity in many areas of our lives, with an email bankruptcy being one example of this. The important thing is to make the most of the opportunity you have given yourself. In the case of an email bankruptcy, this will require implementing strategies

Small acts of kindness

Aesop shared many words of wisdom in his fables, none more less so than this quote: ‘No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.’ The reason I like this message is that it

acknowledges the smaller things. In all areas of our lives we can often forget about our small everyday successes. Instead, we’re thinking about, or working towards, the big achievements and gestures that might never happen or are continually put off until the right

moment, which might be a moment that never comes. What small act of kindness can you do? Is there a task that you can offer to do for someone that you know will be appreciated, or a compliment you can give to acknowledge something that a friend or colleague has done that might otherwise go unnoticed? In the end, a whole lot of small acts add up to a lot more than one major act that might not even happen, so get started and start performing those small acts of kindness.

high level of confidence because of the amount of training and preparation she has put in beforehand. The event that she is competing in is the end of that process; it might be all that the audience sees, but she herself knows that so much has been done prior to ensure that she’s ready to take part. The message here is clear, regardless of what you’re doing; from a presentation at work, to an audition for a play, to an Xterra trail run – you can be more confident of your success if you have put in the work beforehand.

many ideas on what can be done, in his opinion, to make the world a better place. Some of the ideas will be agreeable to people and others won’t be, depending on your views. In regards to the ideas that aren’t popular, Bergman shares how this is the case with many things that we find normal and successful now. An example I can think of is the banning cigarette smoking in bars and restaurants; at the time this happened there was an outcry from many who said that it would kill the hospitality industry, yet years later most of us couldn’t imagine anyone smoking in a restaurant. Looking back through history there are many examples of similar ideas; I am sure that there was once a time when the abolition of slavery was thought to be unrealistic in many southern American states; now we find it hard to believe that such an abhorrent practice ever took place. What we need to do is look on the fringes to ideas now that most consider unrealistic. Could, in fact, some of these be applied to make the world a better place?

Kandahar helps couple enjoy life together

Kandahar Home couple William and Helga Ackerley.

What happens when you’ve been together for decades and the time comes when you need rest home or hospital care? For Masterton’s William and Helga Ackerley it wasn’t a problem, the pair moved together to Enliven’s Kandahar Home. The couple first met by chance at a coffee shop in 1982. Thirty-seven years later, the married couple say their love is as strong as ever. “My Hughie [William] is a wonderful man. He has a beautiful heart and gentle eyes,” says Helga. The pair say they moved to Kandahar to ensure they could stay together for the rest of their lives. “My eyesight was getting worse due to my diabetes, I wear two hearing aids and my mobility isn’t what it used to be,” William explains.

independence purpose trusted

“It was getting really hard for Helga to look after me, so we decided to see if we could move somewhere we could have more support. “Things have been much easier since we moved to Kandahar and we hope to be able to live together like this for many more years!” At Kandahar Home, William enjoys access to 24-hour practice assistance and clinical support. He’s also able to take part in the home’s stimulating, tailored activity programme, which offers arts and crafts, music therapy, intergenerational activities, themed parties and van outings. Helga, meanwhile, enjoys hassle-free living at one of Kandahar Home’s retirement rental units, where she lives independently with the knowledge that help is close by if she needs it. She enjoys the fact that the household and property maintenance is taken care of by Enliven staff, and that she can take part in all the activities on offer at the home. Best of all, her husband is just metres away, getting the support he needs, in a place she can visit any time she likes. “I visit Hughie every day and we love going for walks around Masterton,” Helga notes. The couple are very involved in home life, and remain connected to community groups too. “I’ve met a lot of very nice people here [at Kandahar] and we go the Wairarapa Spinners and Weavers Guild every second Wednesday and work together on crafts. We’re always busy!” says Helga. Enliven’s Kandahar Home, located on Roberts Road, Masterton, offers independent retirement rental units, rest home and hospital care, as well as short-term respite. Sister site Kandahar Court offers specialist dementia care. To find out more visit www.enlivencentral.org.nz or call the friendly team on 06 370 0447.

A look back at the 2017 Wairarapa Balloon Festival Night Glow event. PHOTO/JADE CVETKOV

Up, up and away for the holidays School holidays are just around the corner and I can almost hear a collective sigh of relief from all of the parents who need a well-deserved break from being mum/ dad taxi and those of us who have to be up before the crack of dawn to get to the school bus. Just a change to the daily grind of boring routines will be lovely. Of course, the collective sigh will be competing with the scream of anguish from those parents who have yet to find someone to look after their kids for two weeks as they have run out of holiday leave after the January holidays. Oh, the joy of being a parent. Of course, if you have teenagers you don’t need to worry because they probably won’t be out of bed by the time you get home in the afternoon.

Sole Food

Shirley Nightingale How about we take the kids to work with us in the holidays. It might educate them in the ways of working so that they grow up with a good work ethic and understand what all their studies will allow them to do. Additionally, it also solves the child care issues – we can only hope for more enlightened times ahead. So, there are a few things coming up in April which are family-oriented, such as the Wairarapa Balloon Festival event on April 20 at the Solway showgrounds – let’s hope the wind behaves

itself otherwise the postponement date is the following day. Towards the end of the month, there is a wastefree living workshop in Martinborough (Monday 29, at 6.30pm). Now that’s my sort of thing. We have successfully scuppered plastic bags but now we have to work on the rest of the household and see how we can reduce that landfill and ocean plastic. Fabric Boomerang Bags has started in Masterton and needs helpers. I also still need more volunteers to sew Greytown bags if anyone has a bit of free time.

Hot, dry autumn predicted for Wairarapa

GET READY FOR

WINTER

Above average temperatures and below normal rainfall is predicted for Wairarapa till June by National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA). “A central Pacific El Niño event continued during March as the ocean and atmosphere remained weakly coupled,” it says. “Sea surface temperatures warmed across the equatorial Pacific during March and El Niño is expected to continue during the upcoming three-month period. “While April to June is expected to start off with mixed air flows, higher pressure than normal is forecast to

develop in the northern Tasman Sea along with lower than normal pressure south of New Zealand. “This is expected to result in more westerly quarter winds than normal, particularly during the second half of the coming season.” Consequentially, air temperatures are forecast to be above average, and rainfall below normal for the East Coast of the North Island including Wairarapa. However, above average coastal and Tasman Sea surface temperatures, including marine heatwave conditions, may lead to significant rain events, it says.

Government insulation subsidies available Winter is coming but you may be able to make your home warmer and drier with a Government grant covering at least twothirds of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation. Warmer Kiwi Homes grants are available to homeowners with a Community Services Card or households in lower-income areas, says Eddie Thompson of EECA Energywise. “In some parts of the country, generous donations from community organisations mean the cost to homeowners is even lower. You may be surprised how little you have to pay.”

Mr Thompson advises eligible homeowners to book in as soon as possible because the insulation industry is very busy as the weather starts to cool down and in the lead-up to the deadline for insulating rentals. Grants for heating appliances are available from July for properties that are already insulated to a good standard, Mr Thompson says. To find out if you are eligible for a grant, visit energywise.govt.nz <https://www.energywise.govt.nz/tools/ warmer-kiwi-homes-tool/> or free phone 0800 749 782.

bulbs has dropped dramatically.

Other top tips:

“Look out for specials as low as $4 a bulb.”

■ Use cold washes - unless you have an especially dirty load. Modern washing machines and detergents clean well using cold water. A hot water wash can use 10 times more electricity than a cold wash.

Hot water is another area where people can make serious savings, according to Mr Hoerning.

But there are easy ways to lower your power bill without compromising on comfort, according to EECA Energywise. Technical expert Christian Hoerning says research indicates there are still about 12 million incandescent light bulbs in New Zealand homes – which, if replaced with energy efficient bulbs would reduce household energy bills.

Research carried out by BRANZ, shows about 46% of houses surveyed had showers with high flow rates. “This isn’t about having a lousy shower. You get a very comfortable shower with a flow rate of nine litres a minute.

“You can run an energy efficient television for the same price as one incandescent bulb – these bulbs are outdated technology.

“A family of three with a 12 litre per minute shower could save over $200 a year by reducing that to nine litres per minute.”

“LEDs use up to 85% less energy than standard incandescent light bulbs for the same light output and each bulb you replace will cost you $20 a year.”

If your shower fills a 10 litre bucket in less than a minute, it’s wasting water, Mr Hoerning says.

Mr Hoerning says the price of LED

He advises inserting a low-cost shower flow restrictor or getting a new, efficient shower head.

■ If you have a heated towel rail, only use it when needed. A heated towel rail left on 24/7 can cost you $170 per year to run. You can buy timers for towel rails that come on automatically at certain times of the day. ■ If you have a second fridge only to chill a few drinks, it could cost you $200 a year to run if it’s an old, inefficient model. Consider turning it off or getting rid of it. ■ Health Condition Survey: Analysis of energy efficiency data. Report prepared for the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA).

One of the simplest ways to keep a home during winter is to have good curtains. Thermal backing and good installation make them even more effective. During the day, windows let in more radiant energy than gets out. According to Energywise, good curtains can cut heat loss by up to 50 per cent for doubleglazed windows, and 60 per cent for single-glazed windows. The best way to prevent heat loss is to close your curtains and lower your blinds immediately after

dusk. To enhance the insulative properties of regular curtains, thermal curtains have an acrylic coating applied to the back of the fabric before being heat-sealed in place. The effectiveness of your curtains will depend on how well they are installed, with the majority of heat loss occurring where there are air gaps. To reduce heat loss, curtains should overlap the edges of the window as well as being long enough to touch the ground.

IS YOUR HEAT PUMP READY FOR WINTER? Many people clean their own filters but did you know that Consumer recommend a professional clean once a year to ensure the best out of your system.

A clean heat pump will: • Last longer • Use less electricity • Run more efficiently • Provide clean air for your home

The service I provide is to clean both the inside and outside units to clean the coils and ensuring that there are no obstructions to operation of the unit. Ants and cockroaches can damage the electronics and these infestations may not be covered by your insurance.

GET READY FOR

WINTER

Winter driving tips from MTA Winter is a time of extremes any problems or weaknesses in your vehicle will show up – usually at the worst possible time. Is your vehicle approaching the time for its next scheduled service? If so, don’t put it off. Book your vehicle in for a pre-winter check for oil and anti-freeze levels, wiper blades, filters and battery condition among other things.

Battery

Your battery can be the key. If your car isn’t starting as easily as usual, get your battery checked. In winter we tend to use electrically-based accessories and systems a lot more – lights, air-conditioners, fog-lamps, interior lights etc. They can all place extra strain on your car’s electrical system – so if your battery is not in top condition, it may let you down.

Tyres

Make sure your tyres are properly inflated. Over-inflation can reduce the gripping action of tyres because the tread will not meet the road surface as it was designed to do. If the tread depth of your tyres is getting low, it may be worth having them replaced, even though they have more than the minimum tread depth of 1.5mm. If possible, tyres should be replaced before the tread depth drops to the minimum. There’s evidence that a 3mm deep tread can stop a vehicle on a wet road in a distance that’s 25 percent less than a tyre with 1.5mm deep tread. Check the manufacturer’s wear indicator mark on your tyres to see

when travelling in foggy conditions; blasting them on to full only results in the light being reflected straight back at you, making visibility even harder.

if they need replacing. All tyres have tread wear indicators, which are small bars of rubber found between the tread blocks of the tyre. When the tread is worn flush with the tread wear indicators, the tyre has reached its wear limit and must be replaced as it no longer provides sufficient grip.

Know what to expect

If you’re travelling out of town, make sure you know what you’re in for. The sun is low in the sky for most of winter so be prepared for sun-strike. It’s especially important to keep your front and rear screens clean.

If you’re going to be driving in the snow, make sure you have the correct chains and snow tyres (if fitted) – it’s now the law that when you use snow tyres, all four must be snow tyres.

Bridges and overpasses ice over faster than normal roads. The earth is warm and normal roads have the warmth of the earth underneath. Shady areas cool more quickly than areas in full sun. The shadows from large trees, buildings and mountains can cause isolated icy spots.

Visibility

Winter often means reduced visibility, so you need to allow additional time for every trip. Before you hit the road make sure you can see out of every window and mirror. Use a proper windscreen scraper or de-icer to remove ice from your vehicle. Don’t use warm water; it may cause your windscreen to crack.

Black ice is often very difficult to detect, so be especially vigilant after very cold, settled nights. Don’t expect other drivers to be as well prepared – allow plenty of room between you and your fellow motorists. And, give them even more when the weather is poor – double the two-second rule and give yourself four seconds.

Your air-conditioning system is your friend. Many people only associate it with staying cool during the summer months, but it’s equally vital for ensuring good visibility during the colder months. Get your system checked, and allow it time to work properly.

Things to have with you

A first aid kit and fire extinguisher, a torch, a mat or cover to protect you from the ground should you need to change a tyre, a disposable raincoat or poncho and protective gloves. A multi-tool or Swiss-army type knife can be handy too.

Look out for vulnerable road users like cyclists and runners – they may be especially hard to see along dimly-lit roads. And make sure people can see you. Ensure your lights are all working properly and are correctly adjusted. Get them on early and turn them off late; you may choose to keep them on at all times.

An emergency reflective triangle and a high visibility vest can be the difference between someone spotting you stranded on the side of the road and colliding with you.

Remember to keep them dipped

Nourishing vegetables for a winter soup Nothing beats a bowl of warm homemade soup to bring comfort during the cooler weather. Winter offers a great choice of vegetables that can be easily turned into nutritious, filling and flavour-packed soups. In New Zealand we are lucky to have access to a great selection of fresh, affordable vegetables. Ask family and friends to share their favourite winter soup recipes for you. Double the quantity when you’re making a soup and you can keep the extra portions in the fridge for later in the week. Or, even better, arrange to swap half the soup you make with a friend or family who is using a different recipe. It’s a great way of trying out different soups. Here are five winter vegetables that can be turned

into scrumptious soups, recommended by the 5+ A Day Charitable Trust committed to increasing the consumption of fresh fruit and vegetables for better health. You can follow @5adaynz on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Pinterest for fresh inspiration, recipes and prizes.

Kumara is a versatile

vegetable that comes in three varieties: gold, orange and red. All contain dietary fibre and other nutrients essential for health.

Carrots, great for snacking, roasting and braising, carrots also make excellent soup.

Parsnips, these delicious winter root vegetables have a sweet pungency with a slight nutty flavour.

Broccoli is bursting with a range of nutrients that are good for us including Vitamins C, B6 and E. Because the entire vegetable can be eaten, broccoli offers different tastes and textures from the florets to the crunchy stem and stalk.

Cauliflower, a good source of vitamin C, cauliflower is a trusty winter staple vegetable. While the humble cauli is popular as rice or ‘steaks’, it is also great in soup as it can take several spices and flavours.

Guard against flu this winter Health Minister Dr David Clark is one of more than a million New Zealanders who will get vaccinated against influenza this year. The annual campaign began last week. While many people experience moderate illness from the flu, around 400 New Zealanders die each year from the disease, and many more need hospital treatment. People can get their influenza vaccine free if they’re at high risk of getting the illness, including those aged 65 and older, pregnant women, and people with chronic or serious health conditions, such as heart disease, cancer or severe asthma. Children aged 4 and under who have a history of significant respiratory illness are also eligible. This year, the influenza campaign

focuses on people aged 65 and older. This age group is eligible for a free flu shot, but many don’t see themselves as needing one,” David Clark says. “An annual influenza immunisation can keep you healthy and active for longer. Even fit and healthy people can get seriously ill from the flu, and for older people, a serious case can have a long lasting impact on their quality of life and independence.”

year, David Clark says. The influenza immunisation programme begins a little later this year on April 1, to ensure that the vaccine continues to provide protection through to the peak of the flu season, usually in late winter. This year’s funded vaccine will protect against four strains of influenza, including updated strains of influenza A(H3N2) and influenza B.

Last year a record 1.3 million New Zealanders were immunised against influenza, after the northern hemisphere experienced a particularly severe winter.

Many employers provide free influenza vaccination to staff, which it is a great way to protect employees’ health at the same time as reducing the disruption to business caused by influenza each winter.

“We were lucky in New Zealand last year, but we shouldn’t be complacent – a bad flu season could happen any time. Influenza immunisation is important every

The vaccine is available free from general practices and many community pharmacies for those eligible, or for a small fee for everyone else.

WINTER

Winter in Wairarapa looking good There is plenty to enjoy about autumn and winter in Wairarapa this year. Here’s a few picks.

Wairarapa Balloon Festival

Taking place over Easter Weekend from April 18 to 22, the festival features a week of balloon lift-offs and loads of family-fun and entertainment at various venues throughout the region. For more information visit www. nzballoons.co.nz

Featherston Booktown

Thinking smart with fire Wairarapa residents are some of the biggest users of firewood in New Zealand, and the region’s towns regularly suffer from poor air quality over winter. The smart use of firewood can make a significant impact on reducing pollution as well as saving money on heating costs.

Choosing a wood type

■ Fuel wood ranges from soft woods like pine, to hardwoods like manuka. Softwoods season in about 6 to 8 months. It can take up to 18 months for manuka to dry.

The fifth annual Featherston Booktown Festival takes place

■ All wood types have about the same heat capacity per kilogram, however a hardwood like manuka will give more heat than an equivalent volume of soft wood, meaning less refuelling.

Storing wood

Only burn dry wood

How to tell firewood is dry

■ Dry wood can reduce fuel costs by up to 40% compared with unseasoned green wood. ■ Green or wet wood is a major creator of smoke that as well as creating pollution also clogs your chimney. ■ Household items such as rubbish and food scraps have a detrimental impact on both humans and the environment.

■ If you’re storing your wood outside make sure it is covered and off the ground. Wooden pallets are great for this.

from Friday 10 to Sunday 12 May with the full programme available online at www.booktown.org.nz

Matariki and the Winter Solstice

The Maori New Year occurs close to the winter solstice in the southern hemisphere. On Saturday 22 June, Stonehenge Aotearoa, 51 Ahiaruhe Rd, Carterton, will be holding a special event to make the occasion from 4.30pm to7pm. The presentation will explore the ancient meanings and significance of Matariki and its relationship to the solstices and equinoxes. Visit www. stonehenge-aotearoa.co.nz for more information. ■ While dry, salt borne drift wood could be used in an open fire, its use in woodburners should be avoided because it will cause corrosion.

Don’t burn treated wood

■ When hit together two pieces of dry wood should make a noise like a loud hollow crack.

■ Most construction timber in New Zealand uses pinus radiata which is typically treated with toxic chemicals such as chromated copper arsenic (CCA). The burning of treated timbers is banned in New Zealand.

■ Wet wood hisses and sizzles when burned and dry wood doesn’t.

■ Examine wood for a green or pink tinge or markings to indicate chemical treatment.

■ Dry wood has cracks in the end. ■ It weighs less than wet wood.

The Time Travellers Ball

Taking place once more at Featherston’s Anzac Hall, on Saturday 22 June, guests will be required to attend in costume from a period of their choosing (past or future!), with this year’s theme being “Voyagers”. Visit Facebook for more information

Sports

Every weekend over autumn and winter Wairarapa’s top teams will be competing in rugby, football and hockey. Watch WairarapaBush play in the Heartland competition, Dalefield’s men’s and women hockey sides fight for Wellington regional titles, and Wairarapa United compete for the Chatham Cup. ■ Treated timber of any kind can pose a health hazard and be corrosive, even to brickwork. ■ Old painted timber can also pose a threat if it has been painted with lead-based paint. ■ Burning treated timber releases toxic fumes into the air and poses a health risk to anyone who breathes the contaminated air. ■ People most at risk from smoke pollution are those with existing respiratory conditions, such as asthma or bronchitis, babies and young children, diabetics and the elderly.

Heat pump smarts More than a quarter of New Zealand households have a heat pump but these heaters need to be used in a smart way to make houses warm and healthy, according to the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA). EECA ENERGYWISE Technical Expert Christian Hoerning says heat pumps are the most efficient electric heaters and there are simple tricks to avoid wasting energy. Mr Hoerning advises only heating the space you’re actually using, shutting doors and curtains to keep the heat in. He says the next step is learning to use the timer feature. “Don’t leave your heat pump on all day if you’re not there. You can set the unit to turn on half an hour or so before you get home or before you get up in the morning.” Using the timer will also avoid the common mistake of coming into a cold house and cranking up the heat pump to its highest setting, Mr Hoerning says. “Set the thermostat to a healthy temperature. Aim for a minimum of 18ºC while you are using a space (or 20ºC if you have children, elderly or people who are unwell in the home) and 16ºC in bedrooms overnight.” Cleaning the heat pump filters regularly will also mean the heat pump runs more efficiently, Mr Hoerning says. If you are considering buying a heat pump, look for the blue ENERGY STAR® mark to identify superior energy efficiency. Like all heaters, heat pumps can use a lot of energy so it pays to get an efficient model, Mr Hoerning says. “Some heat pumps also ice up if the temperature falls to between 5 and 0°C. That’s why ENERGY STAR now includes a requirement that’s designed to ensure a correctly sized ENERGY STAR heat pump will perform efficiently in this temperature range.”

■ INSULATING FIRST. Make sure your ceiling and underfloor insulation is sorted first - you’ll be able to buy a smaller heat pump and your home will be cheaper to heat properly ■ QUALITY. Choose a quality brand from a reputable supplier that offers at least a five-year warranty on parts and labour ■ SIZING. Make sure it’s sized correctly for the room you want to heat - if it’s too small, it will have to work harder and cost you more to run. Your supplier will be able to discuss this with you ■ CLIMATE. As the temperature drops, so does the performance of many heat pumps. If you live in a cold area, make sure the unit is sized using the manufacturer’s information on how much heat it can deliver at the average outdoor winter temperature of the area in which you live. A good quality unit, sized and installed correctly, should perform effectively down to minus 15°C. Ask your heat pump supplier if you need your heat pump to perform at these temperatures ■ ENVIRONMENT. For example, in geothermal areas or coastal areas the heat pump needs to have suitable protection against corrosion - ask your supplier about environmental considerations in your area ■ INSTALLATION. Good installation is fundamental to how well a heat pump performs - make sure you choose an experienced installer who follows EECA’s Good Practice Guide – Heat Pump Installation. Not sure how to clean your heat pump filters? Check out the video at www.energywise.govt.nz

Mr Hoerning also advises people to think about:

Kuranui students at Adrenaline Forest in Porirua.

PHOTO/SUPPLIED

High ropes challenge encourages new skills Kuranui students from the college’s senior 2OUT class and the junior Survivor class recently visited the multi-level aerial obstacle course at Adrenaline Forest in Porirua to put their survival skills to the test. The three-hour session gave the students a chance to challenge themselves on all levels of the high ropes course, giving them an opportunity to strengthen their “soft skills” through practical learning outside of the classroom. Kuranui English teacher Chelsea Fenwick organised the Survivor course as part of Kuranui’s Ignite junior curriculum and thought the experience would be good for her junior students to practice some of the advanced ideas they had explored in the classroom. “In the course we look at the theme of survival and all of the different ways of looking at survival,” she explained. “When I first surveyed the class at the beginning of the semester, surviving for them was being lost in the bush and having to find food and water. I wanted

to show them that survival is also about surviving life, it’s about surviving your school years, about surviving your teenage years. So that might also mean surviving a difficult or challenging situation. “The day was to help push ourselves outside of our comfort zone, survive a challenging experience and to have fun,” she said. The junior students joined senior students from the Level 2 outdoor education class 2OUT. “It was quite nice for the junior students to go along with the older students and interact with students of different ages to support one another. For the older students it was a good way to learn to encourage the younger ones. “The Ignite program is providing junior students with these new kinds of opportunities, combining different curriculum subjects and placing them in a real-life context. The engagement from the students was amazing, as they had expected something like this from their PE course, not their English class,” added Fenwick.

“It gave the students an opportunity to implement our school values in a different setting. There was a lot of empathy. I heard students cheering and encouraging one another. They were all being really determined. Because it was hard. It was really hard. It was windy and they were having to apply and independently manage themselves. A lot of those soft skills and transferable skills came into play.” Year 10 student Trinity Southey certainly agreed. “Putting yourself in a challenge that you weren’t expecting was really hard, so you actually had to try for it,” she said. Fenwick also utilised the trip to support the development of the students’ curriculum skills. “We have studied short texts, looked at language features, and we are currently in the middle of a film study, looking at survival. Some really interesting stuff came out of our trip. “I got the students to write their own permission slips and thank you letters to the staff afterwards,” she said.

COUGHING AND SNOTTY HORSES We’ve seen quite a run of horses and ponies this season with a variety of respiratory conditions. As they can present quite differently we do have a few skills in our veterinary arsenal to help diagnose which problem the horse may have. A viral cough and nasal discharge seems to be going around the Wairarapa at present. This is typically a herpes virus and is usually worse in young horses – much like taking your young kids to school, they catch all the bugs! There is a vaccine for the Herpes virus but it does have some restrictions and needs to be given frequently. Rest and avoidance of dust are paramount for these cases – repeated coughing is not particularly good for equid lungs and can induce them into becoming life-long sensitive to dust and pollens, much like an asthma. Horses often get a secondary bacterial infection and so your vet may prescribe some antibiotics to help with this. Airborne viruses can generally travel up to 2 km and so your horse doesn’t necessarily need to have directly met others to get infected.

Jill Greathead Strangles is a bacterial disease that locates and causes abscesses in the lymph nodes, usually the ones below or behind the jaw. It’s highly infectious via contact (or contact with infected materials like brushes etc) and so if this is a disease suspected, your vet will likely advise strict isolation and testing of all in contact horses. The abscesses can go elsewhere in the body and can cause significant illness. Once again, there is a vaccine for this but it also has some limitations though recommended if your horses is meeting a lot of others. Horses can also get a type of asthma, where they have chronic reactions to dust, pollen or other allergens. These can be treated with various anti inflammatories after a correct diagnosis made. Some are seasonal, most are life-long so it’s important to get onto diagnosis and treatment early. We often use a spacer to dispense human asthma inhalers, which has minimal side effects and is tolerated well.

We visited Wairarapa SeniorNet last week and spoke with Chairman Ken Taylor. SeniorNet is a national organisation with branches throughout the country. Run by volunteers, and with more than 100 members in the Wairarapa, they aim to teach community members 55 and up skills with computers, tablets, cellphones and smartphones. SeniorNet is always in the market for clients, but what they’re really crying out for are tutors. If you have computer skills that you would like to share, they would love to hear from you. There’s a class every Tuesday from 1.30pm

to 3pm, where they cover many topics like Microsoft Word, YouTube, spreadsheets, presentations, photos, online shopping and many more. Every Friday there is a drop-in clinic, from 1.30pm to 3pm, where they offer one-on-one help with problems. There is also an iPad group that meets on the first Wednesday of every month. From time to time, there will be a special session on a Friday covering related activities. These have ranged from how to fill out taxes electronically, to dealing with your electronic files on your computer, to how to get

the Rugby World Cup on your TV screen. Westpac have also given talks on online fraud, how to recognise scams and dealing with security issues. SeniorNet is based in the Departmental Building, 31 Chapel Street, Masterton.

PEEK @ PUKAHA

The story of takahe at Pukaha More than 100 years ago, the forest at Pukaha Mount Bruce was established as a crown forest reserve. Its 942 hectares are one of three remaining portions of Te TapereNui-o-Whatonga – 70 Mile Forest – a colossal forest kingdom that once ran from north-east Masterton all the way to Norsewood. It is now known as Pukaha, and today if you visit you will meet two very special takahe called Natural and Fomi. Takahe have a special connection with this area thanks to Elwyn Welch, a local farmer who secretly bred takahe in the 1950s on behalf of the Wildlife Service on his Mount Bruce farm. The endemic bird had long been considered extinct until Geoffrey

Orbell rediscovered them living in the Murchison Mountains in 1948. A top-secret breeding programme was put into action, with Welch using specially-trained bantams to sit on takahe eggs and rear them. When the programme was eventually made public in the 1960s, around 13,000 people came to see the birds at Mount Bruce. The takahe are still considered nationally vulnerable, victims of the same introduced predators that have played havoc with New Zealand’s other fragile wildlife species. Although they look and sound similar to pukeko, the two are actually separate species.

GREAT AUTUMN DEALS ON HUSQVARNA MOWERS AT LANGLANDS HONDA GREYTOWN

Trust to run iconic gem The late George Pantelis gifted his unique and iconic church for public use, writes PAM GRAHAM. One of Masterton’s most beautiful hidden gems, the Church of Transfiguration, has been gifted to a trust for public use on the death of George Pantelis, the man who built it. The Greek immigrant, who owned a fish and chip shop in Masterton for more than 20 years, built the Byzantine-style church in about 1980 for the Greek Orthodox community. The stunning interior was painted by Martinborough artist Stephen Allwood, who was a student at the time and still lives in Martinborough. Pantelis died in Queensland on March 24 after being unwell for more than a year and the church has now been put into a trust, former Masterton mayor Bob Francis said. Francis said the church on Paierau Rd was a very special place and it would in future be open by arrangement. A wedding is already booked in there in May. “Effectively, he has gifted the church to the community through the trust,” Francis said. “The great thing about this is the wider community is going to have access to the church. “We have already had a number of inquiries and the Kokomai arts festival is looking to hold events there in October.” He said probus clubs and special interest groups who have knowledge of the church are also expected to visit it. Arrangements for a booking process are being put in place, and there was a chance of open days in the future. It will also still be used occasionally by the Greek Orthodox Church in Wellington. Francis said Pantelis was an immigrant from Greece who came to

Langlands Honda Greytown has plenty of autumn lawnmower specials in store right now, including 600 day interest-free deals.

New Zealand and did well before moving to Australia. He was quite an identity when he lived in Masterton. “He was aware his life was coming to an end, so he worked with myself and one or two others and we have established a trust which has taken ownership of the church,” Francis said. The Ararangi Methodist Camp Trust has provided a long-term lease for the land the church is on. “They have been incredibly generous and supportive of the whole thing,” Francis said. Pantelis said in a previous interview with the Times-Age that building a church was something he had aspired to his whole childhood. “Give me paint, I cannot paint. Give me a pen, I cannot draw. Give me words, I cannot describe. “I built a church because it puts it all together.” The church’s exterior was repainted when Pantelis visited Masterton last year. He had travelled back to New Zealand to work on the church with family friend, Nic Karageorgiou,

who is involved in the arrangements for its future. Pantelis was very proud of the building’s beauty, referring to it as “a national treasure”. The interior of the church features more than 800 figures encompassing 35 large panels painted in layers of translucent oil paint, giving depth of colour which has the effect of medieval stained-glass windows. Some of the powerful images inside include the Doubt of Thomas, Jesus feeding the multitude, the healing of a paralysed man, as well as a large painting of Jesus on the domed ceiling. Pantelis lived in Masterton from 1969, for about 21 years, and ran George’s Quick Lunch on Bannister St and owned the land McDonalds restaurant was eventually built on. The architecture of the church is in Byzantine style with a geometric cross-shaped floor plan. Pantelis said on a visit the church is “for the glory of God, not for me or anyone else”.

For many, it is the first time that someone has explained how important well-fitting undergarments, which no one sees, are to the fit of the clothes they do see. There’s a positive inner effect too, Tina says. “Wearing something nice that only you can see, is as important as wearing something nice that others can see. You are wearing something beautiful just for you and your own happiness, and inside is where happiness starts.”

Local farmers celebrated Gianina Schwanecke South Wairarapa sheep and beef farm Palliser Ridge has gone from strength to strength, taking home the Regional Supreme Award at the Greater Wellington Balance Farm Environment Awards last week. After 30 years abroad working in corporate services for Mobil Oil, Jim and Marilyn Law returned to New Zealand in 2001 and bought the 1320-hectare (1150-hectare effective) coastal property with sustainability in mind. Manager Kurt Portas and his wife Lisa were later made part shareholders in the farm and have helped it to diversify. “We all had the same vision for the farm and in what we wanted it to look like,” Jim said. “There’s been a lot of hard work.” The farm sells 10 tonnes of lamb’s wool and 20 tonnes of ewes’ wool each year, in addition to marketing honey, lambs’ wool and hand-knitted clothing products used to demonstrate the wonders of wool. The off-grid accommodation and onfarm tour enterprises also add value to the business

and highlight their sustainable management practices. Stock water sourced from a bore on the Turanganui Plains is reticulated across the entire property and Kurt and Jim have recently begun a planting

programme on retiring old dams and of establishing native vegetation. The judges said they were impressed by Palliser Ridge’s environmental and social stewardship. Jim said getting the environmental basics right was something most farmers did. Working with the judges had helped reinforce what they were doing well on the farm, he said. “The judges are highly

regarded in the farming and environmental world. Our first awards’ experience [six years ago], highlighted and reminded us of areas where we were deficient, and we have since focused on these.” Palliser Ridge also took home the Bayleys People in the Primary Sector award, which focuses on the all-important people side of farming, the Massey University Innovation award for demonstrating

Kiwi ingenuity to solve a problem or create a new opportunity, and the Norwood Agri-Business Management award for successful management practices. Marilyn said they were “absolutely thrilled” with the win while Jim said he was especially proud of winning the Bayleys People in the Primary Sector award. “We have a good, enthusiastic team and we

The northbound stretch of State Highway 2 between Masterton’s northern roundabout and the pedestrian crossing on the north side of the Waipoua River bridge became one lane on Friday, and the problems are already piling up — literally. Photograph taken just after 3pm showed queues, as well as many people driving on the new bike lane to get past traffic queuing to turn into Te Ore Ore Rd. At one point, a school bus enters the bike lane. A cyclist, seemingly a student heading home from school, didn’t bother with the new bike lane, sticking to the footpath. Traffic was still flowing freely through the roundabout, but queues were building up over the bridge during what was only after-school traffic. The lane change was intended to make the pedestrian crossing on the bridge safer, but a major criticism when the plan was discussed by Masterton District

A schoolbus pulls in to the new bike lane.

Council in March last year was that the crossing was redundant anyway — the school it was intended to serve closed down in 2003. Mayor Lyn Patterson agreed the crossing wasn’t needed, and the plan to make the stretch of road one lane was called “insane” by Councillor Deborah Davidson. NZTA delayed the work to allow further discussion with the council. Council spokesperson Shanna Crispin said

yesterday the council could not immediately comment on the layout change. NZTA Regional Transport Systems Manager Mark Owen said it took a while for people to get used to new road layouts. “We ask that everyone drives extra carefully while people get to know this new layout.” Owen said NZTA would monitor the layout, “to ensure that it delivers the improvements to safety and efficiency that we expect it to”.

Fleeing driver vs drunk driver Hayley Gastmeier A driver fleeing from police crashed into a vehicle being driven by a drunk driver in Masterton on Thursday night. Both vehicles were written off and police say it was lucky the crash was not fatal. Wairarapa area response manager Senior Sergeant Jennifer Hansen said if there had been a passenger in the fleeing vehicle, it’s likely they would have died. The crash happened on

Both vehicles were written off and police say it was lucky the crash was not fatal. Ngaumutawa Rd just after 9pm. Police attempted to pull over a vehicle on Renall St but the driver failed to stop and continued on to Ngaumutawa Rd, heading south. Hansen said the 20-year-old male driver from Wainuiomata collided with another vehicle, a ute driven by a

Wairarapa local, that was pulling out of Hillcrest St. “The driver of the fleeing vehicle was taken to hospital with a suspected broken leg. The driver of the other vehicle was uninjured but was processed for drink driving.” Hansen said both men were “very lucky” as a slight change in circumstance could have had a tragic result. She said police thanked the members of the public who came out of their homes to assist with the situation.

Bookworms back to Feathy Sam Tattersfield Featherston will be bursting with books from May 9-12. This year’s Booktown Festival, featuring a range of events throughout the four days, will be Featherston’s first as an official Booktown, after the title was conferred by the International Organisation of Booktowns in 2018. It is the first Booktown in New Zealand, and 22nd in the world. A Booktown is a small rural town or village in which second-hand, rare, and characterful bookshops are concentrated. Most Booktowns have developed in villages of historic interest or scenic beauty. There’ll be an eclectic mix of fun at the festival, including appearances from an exciting and diverse range of Kiwi wordsmiths, such as novelists Lloyd Jones, Dame Fiona Kidman, Greg McGee, Catherine Robertson, children’s book writer and illustrator Gavin Bishop, blogger and writer Emily Writes, and poets Ashleigh Young, Tayi Tibble, Te Kahu Rolleston, and Kate Camp. Featherston was eligible for Booktown status because it had several bookshops [the town has six] and holds a regular

book festival. The first Featherston Booktown weekend took place in 2015, attracting 2000 people. Since then, it has grown each year, bringing visitors to the town and increasing national interest in the distinctive event. The 2018 festival had almost 5000 visitors and all the ticketed events sold out. Organisers said people were queuing in the streets to get into programmed events. “In a fast-moving digital age where many of us have high stress levels, it’s

fantastic to celebrate the simple joy of reading and the miracle of the book,” operations manager Mary Biggs said. “It’s also refreshing to spend a weekend in the beautiful South Wairarapa, experiencing a genuine and generous community like Featherston bringing people together around books, writing and ideas.” The festival will have panel sessions, workshops, children’s activities and literary-themed special events. Some topics covered will include parenting and literature, the secrets

of a crime writer, special previews of yet-to-befinished novels, women and literature, queer writing, fierce girl poets, the Keith Murdoch mystery, the history of New Zealand newspapers, and a Harry Potter quiz.

Misconceptions about pink

Wai Write

Calvin Winterbottom Everything I mention in this speech are known facts. Pink is my favourite colour and there is a serious misconception in the world that pink is a girls’ colour and blue is a boys’ colour. To explain how this misconception happened we have to travel back in time to an event called The War Of The Roses in England between 1455 and 1485. The War of The Roses was a dispute over the throne of England between my home county of Lancashire, whose flag is a Red Rose and their neighbours Yorkshire whose emblem is a White Rose. By 1455, Lancashire had been in control of the British throne for 56 years with King Henry IV, King Henry V and the reigning monarch Henry VI. King Henry VI died in battle in 1461, meaning the York King Edward IV took over. King Edward IV died in 1483 and his young son became King Edward V. King Edward V was still a young child and was given a regent, his uncle Richard. Richard, though, wanted the throne so arrested the King and his younger brother and threw them

into the Tower Of London as prisoners. They became known wrongly to history as The Princes in the Tower, since one of them was actually the legal Monarch. It is widely believed that Richard killed his nephews, this can also be called regicide, to make certain there was no one to challenge his right to become King Richard III in 1483.

King Richard III, though, died at the Battle of Bosworth two years later when a prince called Henry Tudor, who was a distant relative of the last Lancaster King Henry VI beat him. Henry Tudor married the only remaining princess from the York royal house after he became King Henry VII. Their son would become the famous and infamous

King Henry VIII. Therefore, the Houses of Lancashire and Yorkshire were united. To symbolise this union and partnership, King Henry VII invented The Tudor Rose by merging the Red Rose of Lancashire with the White Rose of Yorkshire. Hence, The Tudor Rose is Pink, because that’s the colour you get if you mix red and white. The rivalry between Lancashire and Yorkshire still lingers but is nowhere near as bad as in 1485. Before the times of Queen Victoria, no one cared what colours you wore. In the Georgian times and the Napoleonic wars between 1714 and 1815, troops always wore scarlet red uniforms. When Britain ruled the world with an Empire under Queen Victoria, the maps showing all the countries my home country of Britian ruled over were coloured pink because of the Tudor Rose emblem. So, pink should be the colour of my home country. This, though, is also where the issue with the colour starts. Queen Victoria reigned for more than 60 years and people began to think that pink was associated with her because she was female.

One of Queen Victoria’s sons joined the Royal Navy, the main colour of the Royal Navy being navy blue. So, the misconception started that pink was a girls’ colour and blue was a boys’ colour. This was also when the idea of boats being for boys, and dolls being for girls also manifested itself, because that’s how the children of Queen Victoria were brought up, so society adopted it as normality. People and companies continue to exploit these stereotypes even today and people let them. Nowadays, societies around the world have been conditioned to accept the Victorian propaganda and ignore the real facts about the origins of the colour pink. Let’s break away from this Victorian dictated prejudiced stereotype and once again understand the real history and meaning of the colour pink.

Scooter’s darts report DARTS

Sport

Mark Clement The game of the week in the Wairarapa District Darts Competition, was from the 2nd Division between Services and JSB Cheetahs. After the round-robin of pairs games, the Services team took a slight 5-4 lead heading into the singles matches. Even after the first two singles it was still Services leading 7-4, then things changed and JSB Cheetahs won the next four singles matches to take out a close win 8-7 over Services. Great game guys could have gone either way. In the first division, Team Panthers still lead the way in the division with a over huge 15-1win against Ynots. JSB Chathams is still unbeaten in the second division after a 11-4 thrashing of SWWMC Blue, with Waingawa remaining in second spot.

Throwers lead the gold rush ATHLETICS

CHRIS COGDALE Wairarapa athletes returned home with a swag of medals, including nine golds, from the North Island Secondary School Athletics Championships held in Tauranga over the weekend. The throwers were to the forefront winning five of the gold medals. 16-year old Wairarapa College student Joe Quinn was a dominant winner of the Intermediate Boys’ Hammer Throw, setting a new meet record of 58.91m and winning by more than seven metres. A shoulder injury he picked up during the hammer saw Quinn below his best in the javelin, Rathkeale student Caedman Hawkins impressed in winning the Intermediate Boys’ Shot Put by 0.6m with a best put of 13.71m. AWD [Athletes with Disability] thrower Ben Taylor, Wairarapa College, dominated his three events, winning the Senior Boys’ Discus, Shot Put and Javelin, in which he set a new meet record of 29.05m. Jack Lewington, Kuranui College, also won three

Champs start strongly RUGBY

into the final quarter, the Coasties scored two late tries, but both conversions, the first from a handy position and the second from wide out, were missed, giving Martinborough a 21-20 victory. The Martinborough forwards dominated for long periods, but the complexion of the game changed when golden oldies scrums were called due to a shortage of props. At Colombo Rd, Marist made no race of their clash with Masterton Red Star, running in 10 tries for a 60-0 thrashing.

Hayton and fullback Andy McKay made numerous damaging runs. Carterton’s defence was eventually split with lock Andrew Smith running 25 metres to score handy to the posts. The match was put beyond Carterton’s reach when Inia Katia finished off a 60m try started by McKay and carried on by Smith, who ran 25 metres before handing off to the little Fijian to scamper over. Fullback Utah Walker scored from a quick penalty tap to give Carterton some hope, but it was too little too late.

Carterton can take heart from the performance. They dominated at scrum time and had more than their fair share of possession and territory. Converted prop, now No.8, Jacko Hull made several telling runs and was at the forefront of the Carterton defence. There was much anticipation of the appearance of former Newcastle Falcons loose forward Brent Wilson, however, his season appears to be over after he suffered a knee injury at training. At Greytown, superior fitness was the difference

when the home side took on Eketahuna. Three tries in the final quarter saw Greytown run out 35-15 winners. It was Eketahuna who dominated many facets of the game to lead 15-14 with 20 minutes to play. That was when Greytown, who have reportedly been trained by an army officer for the past few weeks, upped the ante, scoring three converted tries. At Whareama, missed kicks at goal cost East Coast a victory over Martinborough. Trailing 21-10 well

Gladstone kicked off the defence of their premier club championship with a bonus-point 29-21 victory over fierce rivals Carterton at Carterton on Saturday. Both teams showed good attacking intent from the start, but it was Gladstone who had the better of early territory and possession. They were rewarded after 12 minutes when right winger Logan Hebenton scored wide out after a slick move from a five-metre scrum. Jeremy Osborne converted from the sideline. Gladstone doubled the lead five minutes later when flanker Ryan Knell scored in a driving maul from a lineout five metres out. That fired Carterton into action, and the home team were rewarded for their domination of territory and possession with converted tries to second-five Cane Osborne and hooker Hone Vella. A 36-metre penalty by Osborne saw Gladstone go to the halftime break with a 17-14 lead. Playing into a stiff southerly, the visitors started the second half the better, lifting the pace of the game and keeping the ball in hand. Veteran centre Cameron
