Healthy choices for a longer life Emily Ireland Wairarapa people are expected to live to the ripe age of 81, a solid ﬁve years longer than our Hawke’s Bay counterparts, according to life expectancy statistics. The Wairarapa Midweek obtained data from Statistics New Zealand showing the average life expectancy of people from District Health Boards (DHB) around the country. Of the 20 DHBs, Wairarapa ranked the 12th highest for its life expectancy at 81.4 years, based on information collated between 2015-2017. Waitemata DHB has the longest life expectancy at 84.5 years followed by Capital & Coast at 83.4 years. Hawke’s Bay DHB sits at the bottom of the list with a life expectancy of 75.8 years. The Wairarapa data [tabled] shows how many years of life people have, statistically speaking, based on their current age and gender. A 28-year-old male living in Wairarapa has about 56 years of life left, compared to a female of the same age who has 59 years of life left. On the other end of the spectrum, a male that has already reached the age of 90 could have another ﬁve years of life, PHOTO/STOCK ADOBE.COM

compared to a female who would have four years, according to the statistics. But long life is nothing without health, and Sherry James, a nurse at Whaiora says Wairarapa people should focus on three key things, across all ages, to stay in better health: nutrition, exercise, and sleep. “Eat well, avoid as much sugar as you can, keep ﬁt for your age, and sleep – across all ages, those are the key things.” She said mental health was equally important.

Exercise

James said it is important to keep physically active – “sometimes people need to come into their medical centre and hear it directly from a health professional to motivate them to make that lifestyle change”. Continued on page 3

Prolong life with healthy habits Continued from page 1 In fact, some health professionals will give patients a “green prescription” involving ongoing support to increase their physical activity and improve nutrition. Locally, this is facilitated through Sport Wellington. There are however many ways people can get fit, James said. For kids, she recommended team sport participation. “Your middle years child needs to exercise continuously for 20-30 minutes at a heart rate above resting level at least three times a week. “As a guideline, the effort involved in continuous, brisk walking, is adequate to maintain fitness.” She said a good exercise routine helped young people in “all aspects of growth”. “Twelve per cent of children in pre-puberty years are overweight. “Few of these youngsters are physically active. “If kids start health exercise young, it will be easier for them to then understand the benefit of keeping active.” Beyond childhood years, the benefits a healthy exercise routine was equally as important, James said. “Unmanaged stress can cause muscle tightness which can contribute to headaches, stomach aches, and other types of discomfort. “We know for adults, to relieve stress, we can go out for a walk or participate in some form of physical activity. “There’s always some form of exercise that people can do – even for our older people who may have sore knees – they can go swimming at the pool. “There’s always a way, it’s just finding out what that is.” According to the Ministry of Health, staying active has many benefits, including having more

energy, better posture and balance, stronger muscles and bones, having a raised self-esteem and feeling more relaxed. The ministry recommends adults do at least two-and-a-half hours of moderate physical activity each week or one hour and fifteen minutes of rigorous activity spread throughout the week. For extra health benefits, the ministry recommends five hours of moderate exercise a week, or two-and-a-half hours of vigorous exercise a week. Older adults should do 30 minutes of moderate physical activity five or more days each week. Kids aged up to 17 years should do one hour of moderate or vigorous activity on five days or more per week.

Nutrition

James recommends children and adults eat regular meals at least three times each day. These meals should be rich in vegetables and fruit, complemented by some breads, cereals, grains, and starchy vegetables, fish, meat, chicken, legumes, and eggs, milk, yoghurt, and cheese, and some oils and nuts. Each day people should eat at least three servings of vegetables, and two servings of fruit. Where possible, people should swap out processed foods for non-processed foods. James said cooking classes are available at Whaiora for people wanting to learn how to incorporate healthier options into their family’s diets “There are so many good meals that are easy to make quickly.” Nutrition advice for babies and toddler is that “breast milk is best”. If a baby is not breastfeeding, it is recommended to use instant formula until the baby is 12 months old. Start solid food at about six months old and change the variety, texture, and

Shop sales help hospice care “Hospice is an important organisation – we all know someone who has been faced with a terminal illness.” Shona said winter had “slowed down our donations” and said donations of surplus goods were welcome. “If you have surplus goods, or you are moving to a new house, or tidying up, think of us.”

FOR LIVING Emily Ireland Last financial year, the Hospice Wairarapa Shop brought in more than $300,000 to help fund the care of terminally ill people in the region. The Hospice Shop is the main funding stream for the charity, and Hospice Wairarapa manager Suzie Adamson said the shop was “pivotal to raising income so that we can provide all of our services free of charge”. “We are so grateful when people donate their good quality items to the shop – it means we are able to turn second-hand goods into first-class care.” She said Hospice Wairarapa was fortunate to have a “huge team of dedicated volunteers who are passionate about the quality of our shop – and they in turn are wonderfully supported and trained by our retail management team”. Shop manager Shona Bohm has worked at the Hospice Shop for the past six months and says she loves coming to work – “and that’s a neat feeling”. “I’m having a lot of fun and I love working with the

people here,” she said. “In a working career, it’s not often that you get to work among volunteers. “People that volunteer, they bring their hearts to work – I love that.” Second-in-charge is Rosemary Hill who has worked at the Hospice Shop since November 2013 – “when we first started the shop”. She said she started volunteering back then because she had just finished work at that stage and wanted to help people.

Now she is employed part-time and oversees the shop operations. Brian Stewart has volunteered at Hospice Wairarapa for eight years now – he started with the Hospice Wairarapa garage sale which takes place every Saturday morning from 9am until 11am at the Renall St premises. “It’s a good way of giving back to the community. “I volunteer about 50 hours a month – I just pop in every now and then.” He said it was great

to be part of a team that generated the “muchneeded funds required to keep the hospice going”. Volunteers Rosey Wellbrock and Nolene Eastwood also love their jobs at the shop. It’s coming up five years for Nolene, and just over a year for her friend Rosey. Generally, they volunteer every Tuesday morning. “It’s been so much more fun with Rosey here because we know each other as golfers,” Nolene said.

Since launching the Wairarapa Midweek Hospice Wairarapa series on May 8, community feedback has been “wide and positive, with many saying they had been surprised by how much Hospice offers”, according to Hospice Wairarapa manager Suzie Adamson. “We had one lady who came in after the first story was published clutching the entire Midweek page saying her neighbour had given it to her and she was calling in to seek help because no one else had offered

her anything at all like the hospice services. “She couldn’t believe they were free. “And that’s been the greatest gift from these 10 articles – the community reach has been unbelievable, and it has shown the community at large why their support is so necessary to keep these services growing to meet the rising need, as well as to keep them free of charge. “The other wonderful result of these articles is that it has got our community talking about death and dying and the need for us all to live every moment and remember what is important. “We are truly grateful to the people that have joined our Giving for Living programme signing up to make regular donations because of these articles.” • This is the last of a 10-part Midweek series bringing awareness to the community about Hospice Wairarapa in an effort to increase support for the charity.

Drink driver, speeding offences in the rise Emma Brown Excess breath alcohol offences in Wairarapa have steadily risen over the last four years, while speeding offences detected by police spiked in the 2018-19 year, according to statistics obtained through the Official Information Act (OIA). Wairarapa Road Safety Council road safety manager Bruce Pauling lodged the OIA on five types of offending – drugged driving, excess breath and blood (EBA) offences, graduated driver licence offending (GDL) such

as learner and restricted licence breaches, speed camera offences and drivers stopped by Police for speeding. The statistics related to Martinborough, Featherston, Greytown, Carterton and Masterton for the financial years from 2015/16 through to 2018/19 (July 1 to June 30) with the final year’s information still waiting upon June’s offences. Pauling said the findings were of concern “The trauma and social costs of these crashes are immense. A lot of work is being done by

government agencies, road safety councils, local councils, the AA, ACC, Police, and other road safety partners to reduce these statistics.” EBA offences have gradually crept up from 219 in 2015-16 to 272 in 2018-19, with June offences to be added in. Pauling said speed and drink driving offending was still of grave concern, with four alcohol related fatal crashes and seven serious injury crashes in Wairarapa since 2016. Speed camera offences are down significantly on last year

– 3504 Wairarapa-wide, with June to come, as opposed to 4977 in 2017-18 and 5397 in 2016-17. However, officer detected speed was at its highest level for the four years collated, with 2568 drivers having to say, “fair cop”. In Masterton alone 1795 drivers were pulled over in 2018-19, while only 1031 saw the sirens behind them in 2017/18. Since 2017 there have been four speed related fatal crashes and fifteen serious crashes in the region.

Drug driving offences have a small presence with only 18 across the four years. GDL offences decreased from a 2015/16 high of 1427 to a provisional tally of 959 for 2018/19. The vast majority of offending was in Masterton where over the four years more than 22,000 offences were logged over the five categories. Featherston was next with 3406 offences, followed by Carterton with 2984, Greytown with 2591 and Martinborough with 431.

PHOTO/EMILY IRELAND

Fundraising concert Emily Ireland People will always have a shoulder to cry on or someone to talk to at Wairarapa Hospital thanks to its lead chaplain Reverend Lizzie Snowsill. But the interdenominational chaplaincy is only viable thanks to generous support from the Wairarapa community. The chaplaincy is a cause the Wairarapa Kids Choir will be championing for the second year in a row with their fundraising concert on July 27. Angela Cook is one of the choir’s music directors, along with Jill Bebbington and Anne-Marie Boyd. She said last year’s

hospital chaplaincy choir fundraiser was a great event with a “packed audience”. “Lizzie Snowsill comes to our church and gives a talk every year to remind us we are responsible as a church community to keep the chaplaincy viable,” Cook said. “Without outside donations, that chaplaincy would probably go. “It is interdenominational and it’s for anybody – faith or no faith – even if you just need someone to talk to. “Hospital staff don’t have time to be a listening ear – they’re saving a life. “By putting on a concert, it helps us get to that amount that we

have pledged.” The concert will be held at 2.30pm on July 27 at Crossway Church on the corner of Totara St and Te Ore Ore Rd. It will feature the Wairarapa Kids Choir and local soloists. Entry is by koha. After the concert, the next big event for the Wairarapa Kids Choir will be the John Rutter’s, “Mass For The Children” with Wairarapa Singers and the Hutt valley Children’s Choir, Major Minors, in September. • To express your interest in joining the Wairarapa Kids Choir, email jillbebbington@ wise.net.nz.

Free course for health help A course run by Tū Ora Compass Health starting this July is available for people with health conditions that cause problems for them and affects their ability to enjoy life. A range of selfmanagement techniques are taught including managing your symptoms, better breathing, making informed treatment decisions, pain and fatigue management, relaxation techniques, medications, working with the healthcare system, nutrition, problem solving, weight management, healthy eating, as well as other topics. It is a group course with a maximum of 20 people attending. Because it is a group course, people learn a lot from each other as well. Course facilitator Dany Haira said the course works well for people with a range of health conditions including, diabetes, heart conditions, stroke, high blood pressure, arthritis, asthma, chronic pain, anxiety, depression, headaches, difficulty with sleeping, and weight concerns. Rachel Lewis, who is also a course facilitator said the course was held a few times a year “and we

to another one of John’s collecting passions, old books on all manner of subjects, from rugby to New Zealand agricultural history.

Shine Art Market in Main Street was opened by retired businessman and lifelong art collector John Heginbotham ten weeks ago.

Add to that a small collection of curios such as tobacco tins and All Black and Hurricanes rugby jerseys - and you never know what you will find.

John has filled the space that was once Shine Hair Salon and Greytown Little Theatre with works from his own collection, other people’s collections, and artists themselves.

John is proud of the scope of the gallery which he describes as a potpourri of art and objects.

A visit to the gallery is an opportunity to enjoy superb paintings by the likes of Pat Hanley, Don Binney, Ralph Hotere, Alan Maddox, and Bill Hammond, often from their most fecund period of creativity, and all for sale. At the other end of the scale are works by artists whose names have been forgotten, but their charming and skilful paintings remain. And then there are works where that the subject matter virtually explodes out of the frame, from the pop culture of Split Enz to the semi-abstract surrealism of a unique Denys Watkins painting.

find people really enjoy the structure and content of the course”. One participant said they found the course helpful because it was based on the latest information from medical professionals all of whom have the chronic conditions they write about. “It’s well presented by local facilitators who keep scrupulously to the facts whilst building a cheerful and supportive group dynamic among the course participants. “There is a lot of laughter – it’s fun! “I found it very encouraging to spend time with other people sharing thoughts on managing our health conditions and not allowing health issues to

dominate our lives”. The next course runs each week at 12.30pm until 3pm from Thursday from July 25 until September 5 at REAP House on Queen St in Masterton. This course is free for participants as it is funded by Tū Ora Compass Health, a primary health care organisation. Tū Ora Compass Health has a role in supporting Wairarapa medical practices and aims to support and improve the health of our community. People can bring a support person or friend with them. • To register, contact smcourse@ compasshealth.org.nz or phone 06 261 8303.

John is assisted by Rick who has used his knowledge of photography to curate an exhibition in one corner of the gallery, featuring well-known photographers like Les Cleveland and Anne Shelton, as well as anonymous works such as two striking group portraits that capture the tango drenched world of Argentina in the early twentieth century. The space that was Greytown Little Theatre is dedicated to an assortment of works from large paintings by Gretchen Albrecht and Philip Trusttum,

“That’s why I called it an art market. It has aspirational art to museum pieces and great New Zealand contemporary art. “It’s an entry point to stimulate people to discover the enjoyment and pleasure that art offers.” John describes the appreciation of art as a journey, his own starting when he was around 19 or 20 and bought his first art work - a Rembrandt print. “I grew up in a house full of art. My grandfather Joseph Alfred Heginbotham was a Pumpkin Cottage painter and photographer and member of the New Zealand Academy of Fine Arts. “I think when someone engages with art, they have a much better life for it. It is something wonderful to have in their lives and homes.” John and Rick welcomes inquiries from collectors and artists who would like to exhibit as well as anyone interested in forming art classes and art collecting and appreciation groups which they are able to offer assistance with. Shine Art Market is open Thursday to Monday every week between 10.30am and 4pm.

Waiaria Pitau from te pātukituki teaches Kuranui students raranga (weaving). PHOTO/CATHERINE ROSSITER-STEAD

Community of learning South Wairarapa Kāhui Ako hosted a special Matariki programme that included a dawn rising on the banks of the Ruamahanga, a series of tikanga workshops, and the South Wairarapa Matariki Art Exhibition. Open to 14 schools across Carterton and South Wairarapa, the programme is part of the Kaitiaki Academy initiative which takes place every Thursday afternoon at Hau Ariki Marae in Martinborough. Thirty students from Year 5 to Year 13 took part in a number of activities ranging from raranga (weaving), ngā kemu (games), pūrākau (story telling), mātai hauropi (ecology), to tuna sculpting with renowned local artist Sam Ludden. The South Wairarapa Kāhui Ako aims to build a community of learning, with a focus on the learners. While based in schools, its leaders look to involve the wider community. The Academy was established out of conversations with students. “The kids have told us they want to normalise te reo Māori, but you can’t normalise it unless you normalise tikanga,” South

Wairarapa Kāhui Ako Lead, and Kuranui College teacher Kathryn Homes said. “We want to build a sense of pride within our tamariki around what it is to experience tikanga te reo, and also a pride in Wairarapatanga, so keeping it very local. “The aim is to build the students as leaders of the future and so by equipping them with the resources to do this, hopefully Wairarapatanga will thrive.” Anyone can apply to be part of the Academy, but in order to narrow the applications down to a manageable number, students have to fill out an application form. “We ended up with a lot more applicants than we could cater for, so their application had to be pretty special,” Homes said. The idea is that students who join the programme learn from different experts, then take this knowledge back to their schools and teach it to other students. “Our vision is sustainability, strengthening bilingual skills, and examining how marae-based learnings work. “You’ve got to

contextualise that learning. “The students here at the marae are very calm, very engaged, and respectful – they lose any sense of feeling shy and they feel like it’s a very safe environment. “This makes all the difference. “Once the word got out that we were running these sessions, teachers wanted to be involved, so now once we’ve concluded the student session on Thursdays, about 20 staff come along and are taught by some of the students who stay behind. “They become the teachers to their teachers by sharing their learnings, which is just lovely.” Homes said the event would not have been possible without combined support from South Wairarapa District Council, the Māori Standing Committee, and REAP – “another great example of Kāhui Ako at work”. The South Wairarapa Kāhui Ako are hosting free one-day workshops for the community on New Understandings of the Treaty of Waitangi with Dr Ingrid Huygens and Raihānia Tipoki between July 8-12. Details are on the South Wairarapa Kāhui Ako Facebook page.

Lakeview’s van-tastic new ride Driving just got a whole lot more fun for staff and students of Lakeview School in Masterton. Previously faced with the growing uncertainty of whether or not their old Transit Custom van was going to make it through the journey, now they will be riding in style in a new 12-seater Toyota Hiace. The school recently purchased the van thanks to a $19,000 grant from the Trust House Foundation. Principal Tim Nelson said the Board had been putting money aside each year to help fund a new vehicle, but the grant from the Trust House

Foundation had enabled them to speed things along. “With the previous van, reliability was becoming a real issue,” he said.

“So, to have a brandnew vehicle that we know is going to get us to and from events without stopping is a big relief, and also really exciting.”

Meat-free meat bemuses Comment

Graeme Burnard Now come on you vegan people. What’s going on? I found this (see picture) in the supermarket. Chicken-free chicken soup. The label says it’s very, very vegan but it’s got a picture of a chook on it for goodness sake. And it even declares that the chook is sunfed. I was so incensed by it I hid it behind normal food. If killing and eating meat disgusts you so much, stop mucking around eating pretend meat and stick to your kale crisps and check pea casseroles. As Confucius said, “if you are nutty vegan person, you cannot have your meat and eat it too”. You want it to look like chicken, taste like chicken, but not be chicken. Mind you, I do sympathise a little bit. I have been looking for lentils that look like lentils, taste like lentils, but are not lentils. Very hard to find. And what’s all this nonsense with dairy-free cheese and vegan sausage

I have been looking for lentils that look like lentils, taste like lentils, but are not lentils. and baconless bacon. A sausage is a sausage is a sausage. Stop mucking around with it. Look up the definition of a sausage. “A cylindrical MEAT product made from ground meat usually pork, beef, chicken or veal.” Traditionally they contain animal tissue, organ meat, scraps, blood and fat. Yum yum, bloody gorgeous. Are you still with us all you vegans or do you need defibrillating after that? The first recorded sausage was in China in 589BC. I hate to think what was in it, but it wouldn’t have been mung beans. It gets worse. How about vegan shrimp – made from non-GMO soy protein,

Chicken-free chicken soup.

plant-based starch, ocean plant extracts, spices and seasoning. Huh? Or my favourite.

Authentic (yep, that’s right, authentic) vegetarian Peking roast duck … in a can.

I can’t even imagine what it is made of, but it has a shelf life of 12 months. Why would a vegetarian want to eat pretend roast duck out of a can? Actually, why would anyone? And if killing animals upsets you, spare a thought for the poor banana as it is being peeled. My wife makes a banana smoothie every morning and I have to hide my head under the pillow to block out the terrifying screams as the skin is ripped from its body. And then to add to the torture, just as it takes it last breath, it gets thrown into a glass coffin and pulverised. Will I ever be converted to veganism? Hell no. I love my fruit and veg, and my snacks during the day are carrot sticks and nuts, but oh my goodness, the smell of meat roasting, the crunch of the pork crackling, the beautiful tender juicy lamb chops, the spicy chicken wings, and OMG, then there is the offal. Liver and bacon, devilled kidneys, crumbed sweetbreads and brains fritters. Thank you, Mum. Anyhow, I have to go. I feel a roast leg of lamb coming on.

Lovebirds grow in popularity Lovebirds are growing in popularity among the birdkeeping community in the lower North Island. And the upcoming Wairarapa Bird Show on July 13 is following trend, with a good number already entered, according to Heather Galyer of the Wairarapa Bird Club. “Several years ago, there was a marked decline in the popularity of these birds which resulted in the loss of some of the varieties in New Zealand,” she said. “With this in mind the club will be hosting a champion lovebird judge from Hamilton who will be giving a talk on the keeping and breeding of lovebirds. “After talking with our Lovebird Judge, it was obvious that he has a great deal of knowledge of keeping and breeding these birds which should be passed on so that the species can flourish.” The Wairarapa Bird Show will be held on Saturday July 13 from 1pm and Sunday, July 14 from 9am at Lakeview School hall. The champion lovebird judge will speak at 10am on the Sunday. Numbers will be limited so anyone interested in attending, please contact the President of Wairarapa Bird Club on 027 575 9191.

YARN

WITH

Grow Your Own Goodness – Plant Fruit Trees Now! It’s an exciting time of year here at GardenBarn because not only are our new season roses in and our deciduous trees getting bagged up – it’s also the time to come and make the most of the full range of fruit trees available for planting right now.

Winter is the best time to plant trees because this gives them time to settle in and establish a strong root system before summer hits – strong roots provide an essential lifeline to the plant. When you are planning your fruit tree planting there are a few points to consider such as how big will the tree be at maturity and does the tree need a pollinator?

the ability to self-pollinate but others need a carrier for pollen from tree to tree. This is either done by animal, wind or human intervention. Trees that are cross pollinated will produce more fruit than trees with flowers that just self-pollinate. Our descriptive lists and signs will state whether a pollinator is needed – and if so, which are the best.

Pollination: Pollination is a very important factor to consider when planting fruit trees. Some do have

Planting: Good preparation is crucial for planting trees so take the time and money to plant

Here’s just a tiny wee sample of our selection available but there’s LOADS more! APRICOT ‘MOORPARK’: This one is ideal for our Wairarapa and is delicious for eating fresh, bottling or drying. Self-fertile and ready to harvest in January.

them well! Most fruit trees like free draining soil in a sunny spot with protection from strong winds. Don’t forget to spend a few extra dollars on a quality stake – this could mean the difference between life and death to the tree. Dig a deep, wide hole, and add some Daltons Garden Mix, some gypsum and slow release fertiliser such as ican 24-Plus Slow Food. Ideally the hole should be twice the width of the roots but no deeper than it was in the pot. Don’t forget to water well while it’s establishing, even if we think we’ve had a lot of rain often this hasn’t penetrated deep into the soil. There’s a lot of choice here at GardenBarn but here’s a few favourites to consider: PEACHES & NECTARINES. It takes around 3 years from grafting to get any fruit from these so don’t be disappointed. It’s important to follow a spray programme as some can be prone to diseases such as leaf curl. PLUMS: There are some self-fertile varieties but most do best with a pollinator.

This picture is an example only.

SAVE MONEY & SPACE: If you are short of space then a dual fruit tree could be ideal for you. Put simply a dual fruit tree will grow two different varieties on the one tree – but numbers for these are very limited so get in quick if this is what you want.

PLUMCOT ‘SPRING SATIN: Is it a Plum? Is it an Apricot? WOW IT’S BOTH! A plum-apricot cross which combines the spritely plum flavour with sweetness of the apricot.

FIG: ‘BROWN TURKEY’. Well known hardy tree which is a heavy producer. Good for drying and jam. Ripens March to April

PREVENT COLDS & FLUS

NASHIS/ASIAN PEARS: Kind of like a cross between an apple and a pear nashis are heavy croppers that can grow into quite tall trees. A cross pollinator is required and enhances the flavour of the fruit.

FRUIT TREES FOR CONTAINERS GardenBarn is fortunate to be the exclusive stockists of the ican Harvest range of fruit trees. ican Harvest is a range of dwarf, smaller growing and old favourite fruit trees that have been selected for their Fruit Trees are fabulous for excellent taste, more than their nutritional reliable fruiting fruit – their spring blossoms ability, ease are another great reason. to grow and suitability for the smaller garden and pots. If planting in a pot it’s important to select a large container with a diameter of at least 35-60cm, or 20-80L. Fill with a quality potting mix (ensure it has water retention abilities) and ensure the pot has good drainage. If you will be moving your pots around then you could use Daltons Easy Lift Potting Mix or another good one is Tui Vegetable Mix (2 for $26). Ensure the plant gets adequate watering and feed with a fertiliser that is safe for containers. Too little and too much fertiliser are both damaging to plants so follow instructions. Because different fruiting plants require different nutrition it pays to research first, or to be on the safe side feed with ican 24 Plus Slow Food – this is perfect for almost every plant in the garden or pot.

PEARS: Pears can be planted in heavier soil and although they are tolerant of dry conditions adequate moisture in summer will increase fruit size. Pears are selffertile but you’ll get heavier crops if a pollinator is nearby. We have so much more to offer so come in and see us or email julie@gardenbarn.co.nz for a Descriptive List.

Face lift for clock tower

Carterton

Gianina Schwanecke Carterton residents will have their say on the clock tower’s new paintjob after councillors voted to consult the public at their Policy and Strategy Committee meeting last Wednesday. The three design options which will be put to the community include a status quo [white], a colour scheme that embraces the 1960s architecture of the tower, and a multicolour colour scheme. There is also potential for ground lighting, tower lighting, and the potential future frequency of colour changes that may occur. Councillor Greg Lang, who chairs the Carterton Placemaking Advisory Group, told the committee the group had been actively involved with the earthquake strengthening works undertaken on the clock tower. “This is about paint and what we will see in the day. The three designs evenly represent the community. “The clock tower is an iconic structure and it’s owned by the community so they should have the final say.” He believed whatever the community decided would be indicative of their vision for the future of

The three designs being put forward: Status quo [white and grey], 1960s sympathetic architecture [yellow and grey], multi-coloured. IMAGES/SUPPLIED

Carterton. “We are giving the people of Carterton a chance to have their say.” Councillor Brian Deller, who is also on the advisory group said how the multicolour design would be implemented was still open and could include lighting elements. Councillor Jill Greathead raised concerns about the costing of the different designs. Though final figures had not been calculated,

The clock tower is an iconic structure and it’s owned by the community so they should have the final say. infrastructure, planning and regulatory manager Dave Gittings told the committee that each design would cost about the same and the repainting had been budgeted and accounted for in the earthquake strengthening work. The consultation process

will be conducted by the Placemaking Advisory Group who will report back to the committee for a final decision. Details on how voting will be carried out are yet to be confirmed, though a disc voting system was floated. The most popular design

will determine the final colour scheme. The original tower was built above the Carterton post office in 1907, but it was badly damaged in the 1942 Wairarapa earthquake and had to be demolished. The bells and clock parts from Loughborough, Leicestershire went into storage until it was replaced in 1962 by the present 13metre-high structure.

His exhibition, at Heart of Arts in Carterton, will launch at 5pm on Friday, July 12. “I wanted to do art that captures our life in Carterton. “For the past four years, I’ve drawn the people I mix with and the things we do. “But this time, I wanted to go deeper.

undergoing immense climatic change. “One day it occurred to me that if the world, our environment, our cultures are going through so much

change at the moment, then we ourselves surely must be changing. “I think us poor old humans are already going through a time of change in our very selves. You can’t live in this world and not be affected by it.” He says the imagery he uses is intended to provoke thought about how humans are changing. He avoids imagery that chooses between cultures, religions, and genders. “Although climate change is the most significant thing affecting the human race right now, that’s not the focus of

my art. “My focus is on the change, or changing, going on in the human race as a result of climate change. “In my different pictures, I explore positive options for how to experience this extraordinary moment in our evolution. “You could call it the birthing of new humans. But at the end of the day, I am an artist. I’m offering creative imagery of changing.” Martin Doyle’s art is mainly ink drawings with colour and mixed media. • The exhibition will run until August 7.

CARTERTON DISTRICT

COUNCIL SNIPPETS HE PITOPITO KŌRERO

TE REO SNIPPETS FROM CDC AND RA SMITH This month, Ra Smith explains the importance Plastic-Free July plays in connecting to our environment and caring for our whenua. Parikauiti is the name of the cliff face on the Ruamāhanga River, near the Hurunui-oRangi marae. It is also the name of a taniwha. Some people are afraid of Parikauiti, but this taniwha is a kaitiaki or a carer for the people of the marae and the river.

Stand for Carterton. Stand for council. We’re pretty proud of our little district and we’re always striving to make Carterton the best place it can be. To do this, we need all members of our diverse and vibrant community represented on our council. Now is the time to take a stand.

Clock Tower Consultation Last week the council’s policy and strategy committee approved to proceed with a public consultation on the clock tower colour. It’s important to know the clock tower will need repainting once the earthquake strengthening work is complete regardless of whether a new colour is chosen. We thought it was important Carterton residents had a say in what that colour should be. We are still finalising the consultation process to find the fairest and most accessible voting system but we will keep you in the loop!

• What’s the one thing Carterton needs to do for our future generations to thrive? • Is there a certain issue you’re passionate about that you want others to get behind? • Is there something you think our district can do to improve? If so, you should think about standing for council! Nominations are open from 19th July until 12 noon on 16th

August 2019. Candidates must be NZ citizens over 18 years old and must be nominated by someone enrolled to vote in the area they are planning to stand. If you haven’t already enrolled to vote, you need to do this now! To enrol, visit https://vote.nz/ before 16 August, or your vote may not count. For more information visit cdc. govt.nz/your-council/elections/

The people of the marae and the people of Gladstone should also look after the environment too. We could do that by reducing plastic because there is too much plastic in our environment. Hurunui-o-Rangi have had a friendly taniwha for hundreds of years. The cliff named Parikauiti has been a sign for us to be kaitiaki, people who care for the environment.

EMBRACING PLASTIC-FREE JULY Last month we made a short video explaining the difference between recyclable, reusable and disposable plastics so we can work together to reduce the amount of plastics being sent to landfill. Our zero waste coordinator Jo Dean also worked hard visiting Wairarapa businesses ahead of the plastic bag ban to make sure they were all prepared. We also crowned our recycling colouring competition winner – Jason from Carterton School and Hart4Kids, who

made an extra effort by writing a recycling acrostic poem. Ka pai Jason! This month, we’ll be embracing Plastic-Free July by giving you handy tips on easy ways to help look after our environment. We’ve already kickstarted the month with launching IdealCup CupCycling at three Carterton cafes – Page 42 Café & Gelato, Wild Oats Bakery Deli-café, and Café Ole. Read about how it works on our website https:// cdc.govt.nz/cartertonfirst-in-wairarapa-to-launch-idealcupcupcycling/

EDITORIAL

Opinion

Why didn’t you vote? Last week, on the Wairarapa Midweek’s Facebook page, we put out a polling post asking people whether they voted in the 2016 local government election and what their reasons were for why they did vote or why they didn’t. As some people rightly pointed out, there was some irony in a poll about a vote, but nevertheless, there were some interesting results and comments. One Facebook user said they didn’t vote last time because “I don’t know the prospective councillors, their politics or agendas. And unlike national elections there is no independent media reporting on the above”. I found this comment interesting, particularly because in Wairarapa, you can’t get any more independent than the Wairarapa Times-Age and the partnered Midweek which is free. During the last local government election, I was working as a reporter for the Wairarapa Times-Age. After a quick look

Piece of mind

Emily Ireland through our archive I found 41 stories related to the local body elections spanning July to October. Twenty-four of these were before the election itself and included full wrap-ups of candidates plus coverage of independently organised Meet the Candidates meetings for each council. On top of these stories were also many editorials and letters written into the paper. But what we need to understand when trying to boost this year’s voter turnout is that the media landscape of 2019 is very different to that of 30 years ago where most people’s primary source of local information was the local newspaper. There’s a saying that “democracy dies in darkness” – and that’s the slogan of The Washington Post newspaper. The paper’s owner,

CUTIE OF THE WEEK

Amazon.com founder Jeffrey Bezos once said, “I think a lot of us believe this, that democracy dies in darkness, that certain institutions have a very important role in making sure that there is light.” These days most people’s primary source of local information is social media – it’s a very different type of local information than what is found in a newspaper and, for most people, it’s comparatively void of political discourse. Some people say they didn’t vote last time because they didn’t know the prospective councillors and their politics. Quite frankly, that information is readily available each election. I think the main reason is people don’t think their vote can make a difference in their community. How can we change that?

Rachael MacKenzie Why do they keep approving more housing permits when they can’t service the houses we already have?

The two-handed saw

This two-handed saw – about 1900mm long – was a slow but deadly weapon of mass destruction of forests. Sawmilling was big business in 19th century Wairarapa. In 1885, there were 17 mills in the area, producing millions of feet of timber every year. By 1904, there were 30 mills, producing 16,306,106 feet and employing 416 men. By the 1920s, the supply of native timber was exhausted, and the number of mills dwindled. Today, all that remains of the once vast Te Tapere nui

o Whatonga, Whatonga’s domain – the great forest that stood from just north of present-day Masterton to just north of Dannevirke – is a shadowy dark green remnant across the top of Pukaha, a sanctuary to trees and birds alike.

Beverley Jack As manager of the Wairarapa Community Centre, I am most likely the first person you are to encounter. Supporting me is the Wairarapa Community Centre Trust board who provide the necessary governance. The Trust board members are all volunteers who have a commitment to our community and the services the centre offers. Following on from National Volunteer Week last month, we supported this event by acknowledging the time, effort, and skills contributed by the many volunteers the Wairarapa Community Centre has. Volunteers man our front reception area, undertake odd jobs as required, plus they make up the many hands who drive the Community Kitchen project designed to provide agencies with ready cooked meals for distribution during emergency situations. As mentioned earlier, trustees are also volunteers who are the backbone behind the entire community centre enterprise. We have vacancies on our Trust Board and are keen to hear from people who have business/ governance knowledge and

skills, who are connected to our community and are prepared to give a few hours each month to ensure our community centre continues to thrive. If you or someone you know may be interested or want more information, phone Bev on 377 1022.

Samson (known as Sammy) is the son of a cat left at the Rubbish Dump. His four-month-old mum arrived pregnant and Sammy was born into our care. He may look like a grown up, but he is just a mega meal sized kitten and less than five months old. Samson was named for his strength and size. This gentle fellow is a star. Affectionate and playful, he loves to cuddle on or against his people and isn’t made for solitude. He has a bright, outgoing nature. While he gets on with other cats he’ll climb over or under others to get to a hug. His adoption fee is $140. He is ready to be adopted now. If you want to take Sammy home, email us for an adoption form and we’ll help you through the process. • Dump Cats take cats from the Masterton rubbish dump, rehabilitates them, and helps them into loving homes. They are vaccinated, de-sexed, and treated for worms and fleas. • Their injuries are cared for and they are taught to believe in people again. • We want to thank Masterton District Council, dump staff, volunteers, donors, and Vetcare, for helping us to help these cats. • Dump Cats on Facebook: www.facebook. com/DumpCat/ • Our Givealittle page is givealittle.co.nz/ cause/help-the-dump-cats# • Email: dumpcatsmasterton@gmail.com • We use Advocate, Royal Canin Baby Mousse tins, Breeder Celect cat litter, and Nutrience biscuits. • Donations of these, or other products, can be left for us at Vetcare on Chapel St in Masterton.

INTERNATIONALLY SPEAKING

Advertorial

Climate for change After last month’s successful meeting with Dr Bronwyn Hayward, one of New Zealand’s leading climate change authorities, the Institute of International Affairs, Sustainable Wairarapa, and Forest and Bird are combining again to bring another noted climate change leader to Masterton. Justin Ford-Roberston, based in Rotorua, will discuss ‘The Climate for Change’ at Copthorne, Solway on Monday, July 15. Ford-Robertson said that Dr Seuss’s character, the Once-ler, summed it up very neatly nearly half a century ago in his 1971 classic The Lorax. “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better.” Ford-Robertson will talk about the difference personal and collective action can make to the climate crisis the world is facing today. He has spent 30 years working on sustainability issues, largely around land use and energy in climate change. This includes science, business and political issues in various countries,

ranging from small scale farming to multinational organisations such as the IPCC and IEA Bioenergy. As long ago as 2008, the NZ Herald reported that Ford-Robertson had “a certificate of recognition from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) for his contribution to the organisation’s 2007 Nobel Peace Prizewinning project on global warming.” For the past five years he has been involved in preventing deforestation and exploitation in the palm oil industry in SE Asia, Africa and Latin America, working with palm oil producers, traders and customers

to develop responsible supply chains that meet increasingly stringent market demands. In his talk, FordRobertson will draw on this recent experience, with a focus on how we can move forward to enhance our resilience and wellbeing. Now based back in Rotorua, where he worked for the Forest Research Institute from 1993 to 2003, he operates his own company, Ford-Robertson Initiatives, collaborating with organisations involved in farming, forestry, renewable energy, and various eco-products – as well as developing his 20ha permaculture property in the bush near Opotiki.

More power for less dollars with Husqvarna’s family of battery powered products at Langlands Greytown There are now so many good reasons to buy a Husqvarna battery powered machine for home maintenance duties that the question is why you would not use one. The technology used in Husqvarna’s battery products - lawn mowers, chainsaws, line trimmers, brushcutters, hedge trimmers and blowers - has advanced so much over the past ten years that they are the equal of petrol driven machines in effectiveness for around the home chores. They are powerful, lightweight, fume and skin-irritation free, require almost no maintenance, and are very easy to use - all you have to do is press a button to start them. They also save hundreds of dollars because one battery and charger will work for almost the entire family of Husqvarna electric models. The battery and charger are a large part of the cost of electric machines, so once you have bought your first one, you only need to buy the machine itself,

saving hundreds of dollars with every following purchase. For anyone thinking of buying a chainsaw, there is an added incentive in buying the 120i battery chainsaw which is presently available as a kit (battery and charger included) at the special price of $599, saving $100. A lightweight, easy to use battery powered chainsaw, the 120i is ideal for felling small trees and pruning or cutting small branches. It features an intuitive keypad for safe, convenient starting, trouble-free handling, reliable performance and a longer running time, while low noise levels mean you won’t be disturbing your neighbours. You can see and try out Husqvarna battery power models at Langlands Honda Greytown at the north entrance to Greytown from Monday to Saturday with sales representative Rob Wilkins who has many years’ experience in Husqvarna products.

MASTERTON MONTHLY WRAP MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR Kia ora, I’m thrilled to be celebrating more than $1 million of funding being directed to the Wairarapa through the Provincial Growth Fund. Last week the government confirmed it will support a programme which works to transition at-risk rangitahi and youth into education, training or employment. This will be a huge boost not only for our rangitahi, but also our region over the long term. I’m also looking forward to our brand-new wheelie bin service for recycling coming soon. It’s only fitting that the roll out starts in plastic-free July; while the new service gives us more capacity for recycling, we all need to consider ways that we can reduce our plastic use. Finally, we have confirmed our rates for the next financial year. I know everyone would prefer there was never an increase in rates. On the other hand, we are managing to deliver a significant number of projects with an increase below what was forecast. Stay safe and warm everyone. Ka kite anō au i a kōrua.

PROJECTS UPDATE: QE Park rejuvenation

We’ve kicked off the second phase of the Queen Elizabeth Park rejuvenation, focusing on the Lake of Remembrance. The full project is on track to be completed in December with improved relaxation facilites and access.

RATES/ANNUAL PLAN ADOPTION

Cricket grandstand

Last month we finalised our Annual Plan for the next 12 months. Essentially, it’s the map we work from to prioritise our work and maintain and improve services to the Masterton community. You can find the full annual plan on our website.

Recreation centre

The planning process also requires us to take a look at the revenue we get from rates and whether any changes need to be made to cover the work we have planned.

Refurbishment is progressing well and the grandstand will be open for the cricket season in December. Earthquake strengthening is nearing completion with the pool to be reopened ahead of the school holidays.

Last year we thought we would need to increase rates by 5 per cent for the 2019-20 financial year. We’re pleased to report that the final increase approved by Council was under this at 4.35 per cent. We know a rates increase is never really good news, but the upshot is the impact on homeowners of a median value property in urban Masterton is less than $2 per week.

This a breakdown of what an average rates bill pays for.

Town centre revamp

Council has decided to progress on to the next phase of design for Park and lower Queen Streets. We’re still working through details regarding Bruce Street.

ACM clubrooms

Work has started on the repair of gable ends, cladding, downpipes and spouting, new fixtures in the downstairs area and bathroom and a slight reconfiguration of the upstairs area.

PARKS CONTRACT KICKS OFF Council provides 215 hectares of recreation space (38 urban and 8 rural) including parks, lakes, beachfront esplanades, reserves, cemeteries and sports fields. On the ground this is managed under contract by Recreational Services. For the past 12 years this contract was ‘transactional’ which means Council was required to set programmes with specific deliverables such as, ‘this grass must be cut every second Monday’. A new contract came into force on the 1st of July and moves to a ‘relational’ model which is founded on collaboration and working

We are Local Government WWW.MSTN.GOVT.NZ

together to do what’s best for our local open spaces. Councils such as Gisborne, Central Hawkes Bay and Manawatu have also moved to similar models in recent years. This new way of working allows contractors to direct their efforts where they will be used best. If that grass that used to be mown every second Monday doesn’t need cutting in the hottest part of summer it won’t be and if it requires more frequent cutting in Spring, there is flexibility to do that. Plus, the new contract included provision for our very own custodian for Queen Elizabeth Park! With the shortest day come and gone there is more and more time to enjoy the great work Recreational Services do in our public spaces.

JULY 2019 RECYCLING WHEELIE BINS No doubt you’ve heard about it, soon you’ll see it for real; recycling is getting cleaner, greener and smarter with a new wheelie bin service. Wairarapa households that currently receive a kerbside recycling service will soon receive a wheelie bin for recycling.

to make yourself heard

It gives you an extra 140 litres of space for recycling every fortnight. Once the service starts on 9th September there will be a few tweaks to the recycling service: y Recycling crates will be used for glass recycling only. It doesn’t matter which colour crate you use, you can even put both out filled with glass. y All your other non-glass recycling (plastics, cardboard) will go in your wheelie bin. Don’t forget to check whether the plastics you’re putting in your wheelie bin are numbered 1-2 (those that are numbered 3-7 aren’t recyclable). y Glass recycling and your wheelie bins will be picked up on alternate weeks. Your wheelie bin will come with a handy booklet explaining which week you should put your bin out and which week you should put your glass crates out.

This year you have the chance to choose who makes the big decisions in our community. Local government has a big impact on everyday living in Masterton; the Masterton District Council looks after the parks where you take the kids, the Recreation Centre, the library as well as all the infrastructure needs of a community; roads, rubbish and recycling, drinking water and wastewater.

For some houses in Masterton the day your recycling is picked up will change – we’ll let you know if yours is one of these houses. Have any questions? We’ve got a whole list on our website www.mstn.govt.nz.

MASTERTON ARCHIVIST RECOGNISED AS ONE OF COUNTRY’S BEST

This October Masterton will vote for a new Council that makes these big decisions. Don’t miss out on your chance to vote. The first step is to make sure you’re enrolled; check at www.vote.nz or call 0800 36 76 56.

MASTERTON OFFERS IMPROVEMENT INSIGHTS Last month Masterton District Council was visited by professors from the University of Wollongong in Australia, and Victoria University of Wellington. Kate Janes (Council’s Business Improvement Manager), was interviewed about her work programme at Masterton District Council (MDC). Dr Arun Elias, Dr Matthew Pepper, and Dr Oriana Price are conducting research for a book about continuous improvement in local government and MDC will feature as a case study for people-centric business improvement. Business improvement is about helping to deliver greater value and efficiency through reviewing and enhancing the way we do things. Kate’s role is focussed on identifying ways to improve how Council works and smoothing the way for those changes to

happen – we are more than happy to offer some insights from provincial New Zealand! During their visit, the professors also had the opportunity to speak with the Business Improvement Manager at Whangarei District Council.

We’re proud to announce that our District Archivist, Gareth Winter has been appointed to the Archives Council Te Rua Wānanga. The Council is an unincorporated body established under the Public Records Act. It provides independent advice to the Minister responsible for Archives New Zealand on record-keeping and archives matters, including those for which tikanga Māori is relevant. Gareth is one of six members.

Moon partially eclipsing The moon is heading for full this week, and as it fills out, it passes by Jupiter and then Saturn over a few nights. On Saturday, look high above the east at about 7.30pm. The moon is close by Jupiter and at the same time Sunday it has shot past Jupiter in its rush to the east, getting rounder as it goes. The jump from its Saturday position to its Sunday position highlights how much it moves in its orbit in a day. The moon will have jumped the same distance nearer the east if you view it Monday at the same time. Now it appears to be aiming for Saturn, which is a little lower towards the horizon. The moon is getting very much brighter and you may have some trouble spotting Saturn, even though without the moon interfering, it is the brightest object in that part of the sky. The tester is Tuesday at the same time. Now the moon is almost plonk over Saturn. If you can grab some binoculars you will much easier spot Saturn snuggling-up to the moon. Of course, Saturn is many hundreds of times

Sky Watch

Nick Sault further away. Things warm up for moon watchers on Wednesday morning of July 17. Yes, I know it is the next Midweek day, but I doubt you will pick the paper up before the moon sets and the sun rises. The moon is going to be eclipsed.

That is, the Earth’s shadow will gradually move over it. So, catch the full moon getting near to setting in the south-west at about 6.45am next Wednesday. You’ll need to be in a place at least 10km away from the ranges, otherwise the hills will engulf the moon before the

moon changes. If you are in the right place you should see the moon dimming and changing colour. But unfortunately, we just get an hour of partial eclipse before the moon sets. It gets better for places west of us. Aussie gets more of it than us before they too lose the moon. You have to be as far west as India to get the total eclipse of the moon. And we won’t get a total eclipse of the moon until

May 2021, although we will get predawn partials that are slightly better than this upcoming one, in June and July next year. Patience folks. A total solar eclipse is far more dramatic than a lunar eclipse, but you will have to wait a while longer. Make a date for July 2028. It will be sensational, but you will need to treat yourself to a holiday in Queenstown to see it. Book early. Next week: We’ll meet the snake bearer.

RECYCLING IS BECOMING CLEANER, GREENER AND SMARTER. We’re introducing a bigger and better recycling service across the Wairarapa. On September 9th a new wheelie bin service will start for households that currently have kerbside recycling. Over the next few weeks 240-litre wheelie bins will start being delivered to households. The service includes:

1. An additional 140 litres of recycling capacity every fortnight 2. A latch to secure the lid, so flyaway recycling is reduced 3. An electronic tag on your wheelie bin to make it easier to find if it goes missing.

THERE ARE SOME SMALL CHANGES TO THE RECYCLING SERVICE AS WE ROLL OUT WHEELIE BINS; Once the service starts:

y Use your current recycling crates for glass only y All other recycling goes into the wheelie bin (don’t forget plastics with either number 1 or 2 on the bottom are recyclable) y The wheelie bins and crates will now be picked up on alternate weeks y Each wheelie bin will have either a number 1 or 2 on it – this indicates whether your bin is picked up on week 1 or week 2. Check your kerbside recycling handbook (which will come with your wheelie bin) for a calendar laying out the pick-up weeks.

Tips on finding joy in your job 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. Contribute to your community

Recently, I attended the Wairarapa Sports Awards It is always great to see those who have achieved so much in sport being recognised for their efforts. There is one award that often comes at the end of the evening, this being for lifetime achievement. This year’s recipient, Murray Nielsen, has sadly passed away, but it was still great to see him recognised for a lifetime of effort and contribution to Wairarapa Hockey. Every single champion in sport is only there because of the people who volunteer behind the scenes, from the mum and dad coach who look after the five-yearolds playing on Saturday mornings, to the volunteer groundsman watering the cricket pitch, to the person who marks the lines on the football pitch so the game can go ahead on the weekend. These people are like gold and they deserve all

of the positive recognition they get.

Like your job

This may not be the easiest thing to do, but a suggestion from Haemin Sunim in his wonderful book Love For Imperfect Things is about how we think about our jobs. We would all like to be employed in doing something we love and enjoy. I’m fortunate to have a job I like and find challenging as the principal of a school. However, I have also done many things that some would consider a lot harder to enjoy, such as being a security guard on a gate for up to 14 hours a day. Haemin Sunim suggests that rather than looking for a job you enjoy, or while you are looking for that position, try to look for things that you can appreciate about your current position. Taking the example of

2007 TOYOTA REGIUS 2L PETROL AUTO

the security job, positives were that I was able to spend the day outside, I was able to people-watch in London where I was living at the time, I had some awesome colleagues, I wasn’t sitting at a desk all day (which I had done in a previous job). All of these factors helped me to see that there was a lot to appreciate and enjoy about what some would see as a boring and mundane job. However, looking at things from a positive perspective enabled me to see that there were many things to enjoy and appreciate.

Modify environments for change

When we want to see change in others, we need to look at modifications to the environment. This is advice shared by Dan Buettner, author of The Blue Zone books about longevity and living well. There would be many who would argue solely for

Midweek Musings

Tim Nelson education and willpower to modify behaviour, such as poor diet and limited exercise. However, if the education isn’t supported by the environment, then willpower will only serve you for so long. If you want to eat a healthy diet but

the only options you have are convenience stores and takeaways, then regardless of your willpower, it is going to be very hard to adhere to them because the positive options aren’t available. The same could apply to exercise; if you live in

The impact of small changes

Try to look for things that you can appreciate about your current job. PHOTO/STOCK. ADOBE.COM

a town that is designed for walking and has bike trails, then it’s more likely that you’ll walk and cycle because of the availability of the environmental factors to support you. For positive change in any community, from a family, to a school, to a town, to an entire country, we need to have in place

In the most recent episode of The Minimalists Podcast, hosts Joshua and Ryan discuss the impact of small changes for longer sustainable impact. Ryan shares how he was impressed with the environment when he visited Tokyo, a huge city, as it is so tidy and organised. In that environment, if he saw rubbish on the ground, he would feel impelled to pick it up, as that is clearly what anyone else would do, hence the condition of the city. This led to discussion about Broken Windows theory, which I have written about previously but is worth raising again. Broken Windows theory is simple, it suggests that if something as simple as a broken window is fixed immediately then it is less likely that more windows will be broken, as broken windows aren’t a normal thing. However, if broken windows are left unattended, this will become normal leading to more windows being broken. The small effort required to fix things immediately, such as picking up a piece of rubbish on the ground, leads to others following suit, not just with rubbish but in other linked areas

too. These small changes can then potentially spread like wildﬁre for far reaching positive impact on society.

Be more like Gandhi, less like Lift

I remember reading a story about a woman asking Gandhi to advise her son to give up sugar. Gandhi told the woman to return to see him in a month, upon which she duly did with her son. This time Gandhi told her son to give up sugar. The woman asked Gandhi why she needed to return a month after her initial request for support. Gandhi replied that it was because when she ﬁrst approached him he was eating sugar. He was not prepared to tell the child what not to do when he was doing the very thing himself. The story of Gandhi came back to me when I heard the owner of the rideshare company Lift talking about his company and why it’s no longer necessary to own a car; we can all, apparently, get by using his service. The interviewer then asked if the Lift CEO owned a car, to which he sheepishly said that he did. These two stories say a lot about the integrity of two inﬂuential people; one was prepared to back up his words with his actions, whereas the other was asking for others to do as he says, while doing the very opposite thing himself.

communities. We will be showcasing more of these wonderful migrants who have come to New Zealand for a better future and are keen to contribute to their new community.

Volunteering plays two important roles for migrants. Firstly, Volunteering Wairarapa connects volunteers to Connecting Communities for their Migrant Support Helper role. This role supports Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) residents by supporting them to feel welcome and helps them settle in their new community. This involves informing migrants of where to go locally for information and advice, offering support with learning English, and becoming a friendly and trusted go-to person. Secondly, volunteering for community organisations can help migrants become part of their new community. Urvi Gadhia from Bombay (Mumbai), India with a BA in Psychology and Bachelor of Laws, came to New Zealand to study Communications and Event Management at Unitec in Auckland. Urvi’s post-study work visa gave her the opportunity to experience working in New Zealand. Urvi joined Masterton District Council as their Communications and Marketing Coordinator which bought her to the Wairarapa. Having finished with the Council, she is off to

Jill Greathead had opened up a myriad of opportunities to “connect with the wonderful Wairarapa community”. “I hope to return to the Wairarapa after my travels to ﬁnd work in a community role. Working in the community is my passion and enables me to meet like-minded people driven by compassion to serve their communities.” Another migrant, Fernanda Arias, who immigrated to New Zealand from Mexico three years ago, visited the Volunteer Centre last week. Fernanda is a graphic designer and worked

Corn fritters in five steps

A working holiday is what stopped me from writing, so a vacation is the perfect time to start up again. Sometimes life gets overwhelming and then something’s got to give. I am a ﬁrm believer in the mantra of “we always make time in our busy lives for what is most important”. We need to decide what our priorities are and dedicate our precious time to this. As much as writing and developing clean food recipes were important to me, unfortunately other things came into my life that were of a higher priority. So currently I’m halfway through a 30-day holiday and am feeling a lot more centred. This holiday has been a long time coming, and I have been eagerly looking forward to it. As much as I love Masterton, getting out is extremely important for my mental health. Work, rugby, CrossFit, church, family, and friends consume a lot of my time and energy, and being able to leave it all behind for a month gives me a real sense of liberation. Probably a touch oﬀ topic, and far from clean eating recipes, but our

Corn fritters

Makes six fritters 3 cups corn kernels 6 large fresh mint leaves – chopped or ½ tsp dried 2 tsp fresh parsley – finely chopped ½ tsp garlic ¼ tsp chilli paste or a 1/8 tsp of chilli flakes ½ red onion – finely diced ½ cup brown rice flour ½ tsp baking soda ½ tsp salt ¼ tsp pepper 2 eggs

Method:

1. Mix together half the corn, herbs, garlic and onion. 2. Add the brown rice flour, baking soda, salt, and pepper so the corn is coated. 3. Blend the other half of the corn with the egg, then add this to the mixture to form a batter. 4. Fry in batches with oil on a medium heat. Check they are cooked well on the inside, as raw batter isn’t palatable. 5. Finish with bacon, avocado and fresh salsa.

Clean Eating with Mo

Monique Kloeg mental health and what we put into our bodies go hand in hand. Writing gives me a sense of accomplishment, so I have decided this needs to become a priority once again. Sometimes something important doesn’t seem a logical priority at the time, and mental preparedness needs to factor in, but it is

important to be mindful of what life has to oﬀer, so we can select what produces the most happiness. Anyways, back to food! Kerry and I started our vacation in Hawai’i for a week then joined up on a Contiki in Canada going for 12 days. We are absolutely loving the hospitality America and Canada has

to oﬀer, but also, we are very blessed in Masterton to have a really good selection of gluten-free and dairy-free foods available. Not so much here. Options are very limited, but in saying that, fruit, vegetables, and meat are readily available from the supermarket, and we have been to some amazing restaurants that

do cater well for dietary requirements. As long as you are educated with your dietary needs, there is always something available. Breakfast in Hawai’i was so random. The selection oﬀered at the hotel we stayed at catered to the Japanese clientele. Pickled eggs, fried rice, and noodles were just some of the items available for selection. I ended up having cos lettuce, salted peanuts, fried corn, and kranski for breakfast. The corn is what inspired me to share this recipe. Corn fritters has been a breakfast favourite of mine, and a couple of months ago, I actually had a play with a recipe. As I developed the recipe, wisely I noted it down, as writing again has been in the thought process for about half a year already. This recipe is technically not clean because corn has very little nutritional value. It is high in starch and can spike blood sugar levels. In moderation though, like most foods, it can be incorporated in a healthy diet.

While the yard at Crighton ITM Greytown may be small, around 80 percent of its customers are commercial builders who purchase their construction materials from the Main Street South hardware store - including roofing, trusses, framing, interior lining and exterior cladding, flooring, piles and even concrete. “Often builders bring their plans in, and we do a quantity survey and price list, and then supply them with the materials they want,” says Branch Manager Jim Rodger. “We get a lot of original designs.” Mike Turley, who has many years’ experience in the building industry, is responsible for the business accounts at Crighton ITM Greytown.

Pope & Gray now has its own mini excavator which is ideal for drain laying, landscaping and other projects around your home or business. It is especially suitable for hard to reach places as it has a very small width and tracks that are adjustable to get into even tighter corners, for instance between buildings and boundary fences. The excavator (pictured) is quite light at 1.7 tonnes and so is easy on the ground underneath and easy to transport to jobs anywhere in the Wairarapa.

South Wairarapa Working Men’s Club invites anyone thinking of joining the 141 year-old club to pop in and see just what it has to offer. It has a full TAB facility, two full sized snooker tables and three pool tables, and 10 dart boards. The biggest night of the week is the Wednesday Draw night.

When you buy apples – and many other fruits – at Pinehaven’s shop just north of Greytown you can be certain they were home-grown. Pinehaven Orchards marked its 104th anniversary this year and is still owned and operated by the Meyrick family. It grows and sells many Kiwi classic varieties including Gala which was first discovered in one of its orchards, along with 11 other varieties of apples. Pinehaven Orchards grows six varieties of pears, stone fruit including nectarines, plums and peaches, berries, and some vegetables. There’s always a wide selection of other fresh fruit and vegetables in store, as well as some gourmet foods, and basic groceries like eggs and soft drinks. You can enjoy its real fruit ice cream – or some home grown fruit – in the picnic area beside the shop which is open 8.30am to 5.30pm every day.

Which is why she can comfortably claim to offer “the world’s fastest makeover.” Wearing lingerie that fits your individual body shape, makes a huge difference to how the outfit on top looks, she points out. “You can wear a $5 dress and still look like a million dollars if you are wearing the right lingerie underneath.” Tina provides a personal fitting for all her customers and keeps their details on a “fitting card” so when they come back “they don’t have to go back to square one every time.” This allows customers to go for a fresh look, knowing it will be a good fit.

Getting kids into nature

CALL

Dear friends, One of the great joys of being at Pūkaha is seeing how our tamariki engage with nature. The look on their faces as they spot a kākāriki through the trees or when they hear the screech of a kākā overhead is not something that you, as a parent, will forget in a hurry. There is just something so special about nature and there are heaps of things you can do to encourage your child’s interaction with it, even if it’s just in your backyard or local park. Here are some fun ideas to get you started: • Create a lizard playground by laying out old wood, sticks and stones. • Have a play in the leaves and leave leaf mulch for the insects to play in. The more insects you have, the better the

Enjoying the great outdoors.

meals will be for our bush birds! • Whip up a birdseed pine cone by wrapping string around the stalk of a pinecone and then slathering the cone with peanut butter and birdseed. Pop this outside to hang from a branch and voila – you’ve just made a scrummy snack for the birds! • Create a wētā hotel (or buy one from Pūkaha) to give wētā and other insects a safe place to hide and rest.

PHOTO/HELEN CORDERY

• Make a forest hut out of old branches and whatever else you can find outside. • Use an old sieve to search for life in the creek or lake (with adult supervision). Maybe you’ll uncover water boatmen, snails, damselfly nymphs, dragonfly larvae, water beetles, koura, or even tuna (eel)! • Give your local park or beach a good clean up – rubbish is

good for no one, least of all for our wildlife. Just remember, if you do go and play in nature you should take care because everything you see around you may be the home or kai of some bird or insect. Enjoy the school holidays! Speak soon, The Pūkaha Rangers Contributed by Helen Cordery • The Wairarapa Midweek has partnered with Pukaha National Wildlife Centre to put a spotlight on wildlife conservation efforts locally and allow readers to get up close and personal with New Zealand’s amazing native species.

ALL LAMENESS IS PAIN I’ll say it again in case you didn’t hear me the first time. Don’t say “he’s limping a bit but he’s not in pain” – if he wasn’t in pain he wouldn’t be limping! Four legs good, three legs bad. All our domestic animals – sheep, cats, chickens - have evolved to hide signs of illness until these are advanced. This is why, unlike in people, quite subtle signs in an animal can mean that things are actually really serious. Animals won’t limp if they don’t need to. It is not normal for sheep to walk around the field on their knees. It is not normal for your old dog to be sore in the mornings. Lame animals need to be treated. Footrot is a common bacterial disease that affects sheep and cattle hooves. The bacteria eats through the flesh of the hoof. Footrot is caused by a bacteria, and this bacteria can be treated. However not all lameness is footrot. It is important to look closely at the hooves of lame sheep to find out whether footrot is actually the cause. If footrot is the cause, trimming hooves is no longer recommended. Trimming makes the lameness worse and the disease last longer. Talk to your vet about appropriate treatment. A lot of lameness is caused by hoof abscesses rather than footrot. Antibiotics don’t improve lameness caused by

hoof abscesses, and these do need trimming. So it is really important to inspect the hooves of lame animals. If you aren’t sure what you are looking at, then ring us or get us out to look at them. Lameness is economically important – affected animals are less productive. Just as importantly, it is an animal welfare issue.

Horses walk on their fingernails, and often 400kg or more are supported on hooves only 10cm across. Imagine walking on your fingernails when you have a splinter under your fingernail! Don’t assume the lameness will go away on its own. A lot of older working dogs get arthritis – this is an inflammation in the joints which causes lameness or stiffness. There are a number of different treatments we recommend for animals with arthritis – these treatments improve their mobility and well-being and improve and extend their working life. Come see us to talk about getting your animals back on all four feet again.

Barking up the right tree Black huntaway Jess is an apt ambassador for the mental health issues plaguing New Zealand’s rural community – depression. Jess’ owner, a North Otago farm worker named Will, took his life in 2017, spurring his partner Elle Perriam to start the ‘Will to Live’ campaign and get other young farmers talking about mental health. Last year she started raising funds to lead the a 16-stop 2019 ‘Speak Up Tour’ around the country, aimed at increasing mental health awareness campaign among young rural people, especially men. The tour kicked off at Gladstone last month, with more than 130 farmers and 30 huntaways turning up to share their support. Attendees also took part in the ‘bark up’ event, a moment of silence for those that have lost the battle against depression, followed by a cacophony of farming dogs barking in unison. Moving on to Pongaroa, the Puketoi rugby team moved their usual practice night to ensure players were able to attend the event which saw 90 people packed into the Pongaroa Hotel. Several farmers made impromptu speeches about their own experiences with depression at each of the events. Perriam organised the event to get people talking about their mental health. “I want people to know that they are a lot more relatable than people think,” she said. “You are not alone and not the only one.” While depression affects people of all ages, Perriam recognised there were pressures

on young people and that they might not have the tools or confidence to respond. “There’s a lot of pressures on young farmers around self-esteem and working to prove themselves,” she said. “They run themselves into the ground doing it.” Fatigue was also a big issue for those working on farms, she said. Many of those starting out are expected to have the necessary skills and experiences already – including good working dogs and good stock sense. She advocated for more established farmers to offer on-farm training opportunities. The message at both events really seemed to resonate with those in attendance said Wairarapa

Young Farmers president Ashley Greer. “Many of them have been through something like that themselves.” Greer praised Perriam for calling on older farmers to be more “approachable” and echoed concerns that too much was asked of those young workers. It was especially hard for those from non-farming backgrounds. “You need to have at least two years’ experience to get a job. There need to be more farmers willing to forgo experience over the right attitude. “Skills are teachable, attitude isn’t,” she said. Greer appreciated that each of the speakers highlighted the different approaches to improving mental health and dealing with depression. Perriam spoke alongside sisters Kate and Sarah who offered different approaches to treating depression but emphasised getting the basics right – eating properly and getting enough sleep. Sarah Donaldson, a clinical psychologist from the East Coast Rural Support Trust, also spoke at the event. She was impressed by the campaign’s ability to connect with the younger generations in ways few others had done before. “We were really impressed with the young people turn-out at both events.” Older generations were becoming more open to discussions around depression too, she said. “It helps take away the stigma for people.”

people who mean business JAE WAIRARAPA - CARPET CLEANING, PEST CONTROL, RESTORATION AND MORE What people often forget, says Samantha Oakly of Sam’s Pooch Spa, is that a dog’s coat grows thicker and faster in winter. Sam provides all dog grooming services at her salon in Harley Street Masterton. She recommends regular maintenance visits at this time of year, with her “Puppy Spa Treatment” being ideal for this purpose - wash, dry, nails, and a tidy up of the face, feet and bum. This will remove dead skin and hair, and prevent matting

and skin irritations without requiring a cut. However, you can also treat your pet to a “Deluxe Spa Treatment” - full body groom with wash, dry, clip, ear pluck and nails. Or pick and choose from any of the services offered by Sam’s Pooch Spa, from ear plucks and face trims, to flea rinse and de-matting. Sam has eight years’ of experience as a dog groomer, opening her own grooming salon after working for pet shop and grooming business in Masterton.

CupCycling fun Gianina Schwanecke Carterton District Council kicked off plastic free July by launching their new CupCycling programme to support local cafes in their bid to reduce the amount of waste being sent to landfills. Page 42 Café and Gelato, Wild Oats Bakery DeliCafe and Café Ole have all signed up to join the IdealCup CupCycling movement with funding help from the council. The scheme allows people to borrow a CupCycling cup when they purchase their coffee and then return the cup to any participating CupCycling cafe in NZ, the next time they buy a coffee. The only payment required is an initial $5 bond to join the scheme, plus the price of your coffee – the cafe takes care of washing the cup when you return it and will also provide a free compostable lid each time. The council’s zero waste coordinator, Jo Dean, said it was an easy and convenient way for cafes, their customers, and the council to work together to help our environment. “We approached cafes around Carterton to see if they wanted to partner up as part of their waste minimisation schemes

IdealCup Founder Stephanie Fry, left, with Crystal Thompson from Wild Oats and Carterton District Council’s zero waste coordinator Jo Dean. PHOTO/SUPPLIED

and we were really pleased these three cafes were eager to join the movement.” The council paid for 50 cups for each of the three participating cafes to help with the initial set up, and the cafes can then purchase more later as the demand increases. Founder of the IdealCup programme, Stephanie Fry, came up with the idea at her own cafe in Motueka and had now launched the initiative nationwide across 14 regions. Carterton came on board after she delivered a presentation at a waste forum hosted by the district in 2018. “This system is not about

the cafe or coffee supplier’s brand, it’s about everyone working together to divert one-use cups from landfill,” Fry said. “I’m super excited Carterton has decided to join our movement and it was great to be there to celebrate the launch with them.” The cups designs are unique to each region and it’s hoped that as more people sign on the Carterton cafes will include a mix of other cups in addition to their own with the teal blue council logo. Disposable cups can’t be recycled because they are contaminated by coffee and often contain plastic by-products.

Unidentified flying object

Wai Write

Michael Bennett In 1967, near Elsthorpe in Central Hawkes Bay, I had a strange experience. I was working on Paihia Farm as a shepherd general as we harvested our lucerne crop late into the night. It was after midnight by the time we had finished stacking the bales in the barn and as I rode my Yamaha Landscout about three miles home it was about 1am. By the time I had a shower and got ready for bed it was nearly 2am and as my head hit the pillow I glanced out of the window and was surprised to see a bright light in the sky which seemed to be moving around rapidly. I was intrigued by this and got up again to look out of the window when it became obvious by its rapid changes of direction that it was not an aeroplane or a star. In my past, I had been a freelance photographer and I still had my camera gear, so I grabbed my Mamiyaflex C2 and fitted its telephoto lens. Only then did I realise that there was no film in the camera and as I frantically searched for a film and fitted it, it seemed that the bright light had disappeared. After a few minutes staring at the night sky with

An unidentified flying object.

no sign, I sighed and put the camera and its tripod back in the wardrobe. As I climbed into bed, my wife said, “What’s that light?”, and pointed at the window. It was back! I was back at the open window like a shot and focused my camera on the light which was still darting about in the sky. Due to its erratic behaviour, the first four or five shots failed to capture the target, but I kept shooting because, in those

days the technology of cameras did not allow you to see the result until the film was developed. I used up all the 12 frames on the film roll and hoped that I had something, as the light disappeared again. By this time, it was a bit late to start developing, but all of the next day as I worked on the farm, I asked if any of my workmates had seen the light, but none had, so I had to wait until the evening to develop my film.

By 9pm that night I had a negative that I could examine with a film enlarger and I saw that I had two usable images of the light. When I had been looking out of the window, I could only see a bright source appearing about the size of a bright star, and it was only its rapid movement which gave it away. The next day, in the darkness of the evening, I set up my enlarger and trays of developer and fix and proceeded to produce

some prints. While they were not perfect, there was no way I could satisfy myself as to what it was. Over the next few weeks I asked around again to see if anyone could corroborate the sightings, but at 2am there are not a lot of people staring at the night sky, but a part of my conversations resulted somehow in spreading and I was contacted by The Listener who sent someone to interview me. They asked if they could publish the photo and, of course, I said yes. Soon after publication, I was contacted by an American representing NICAP (National Investigation Committee for Aerial Phenomena). He visited me at the farm and quizzed me about could it have been a star? Could it have been a helicopter? But nothing fitted the circumstances and to this day I look upon it as what the word UFO means, an unidentified flying object.

Home advantage confirmed RUGBY

Sport

Chris Cogdale Martinborough and Gladstone will host the semifinals in the Tui Cup, while Eketahuna confirmed its place in the top four after the penultimate round of matches on Saturday. Martinborough will go into their bye weekend full of confidence after moving to the head of the standings with a 51-19 drubbing of Marist on the Memorial Park turf. Playing with a strong southerly in the first half, Marty dominated from kickoff and rarely gave Marist a look in. Tipi Haira opened the scoring after two minutes with an easy penalty in front. Four minutes later Nathan Kapene, who had an outstanding game at No 8, crossed for the first of his two tries, on the end of a backline move set up by a beautiful cut-out pass from first-five Tim Priest. Marist had barely managed to get out of their half, but were next to score after 15 minutes when regular halfback Paddy Gluck, who started the match at first-five, intercepted a pass on his 10 metre line and brushed off the tackle of Nathan

Hunt to register Marist’s first points. The rest of the half belonged to Martinborough, with tries to fullback Alex Priest, bruising second-five Nikora Ewe, who scored twice in five minutes, and winger Reece Calkin putting the game out of the reach of Marist. Kapene capped his impressive performance with his second try after 52 minutes. Marist then had their best spell of the game and were rewarded for their sustained pressure with a try to big front-rower Sam Siose. Martinborough halfback Chance Ropiha, who came back onto the field as an injury replacement after being substituted and was playing at loose forward, was next to score, with an easy 15m run after some powerful forward exchanges. Replacement lock Fale Solomoana, who made a big impact in his limited time on the field, scored Marist’s third try. But Marty had the final say and they saved their best until last. Alex Priest counterattacked from his own line, and three passes later Haira sprinted 40m to dot down under

the posts. Although the backs reaped the rewards, much of the credit for the victory must go to the hardworking Martinborough forward park that dominated the scrums for most of the match and provided good-quality ball from the second phases for the backline to utilise.

No 8 Kapene and blindside flanker Himiona Haira were outstanding on attack and defence, while in the backs Tim Priest controlled play well with a superb kicking game with the wind in the first half.

first to lock Andrew Smith, and the second to centre Cameron Hayton from a cross kick pass by firstfive Jeremy Osborne, saw Gladstone take a 14-0 lead in the first half. That is the way it stayed for the rest of the game. Gladstone coach Steve Thompson said his team was under pressure in the first quarter but got up

on defence and survived, continuing to move the ball in tricky conditions. The defending champions did suffer two worrying injury blows, with veteran frontrower Richard Puddy injuring a quad muscle, and hooker Scott Day sustaining what appeared to be a serious shoulder injury. A bonus point for Gladstone next Saturday would see them finish with the number one seeding for the semifinals. Eketahuna guaranteed their place in the semifinals with a scrappy 10-0 home win over a gallant East Coast. First-five Josh Pepperell scored the only points of an uninspiring first half, with a penalty into the wind. A try to flanker Johan van Vliet, converted by Pepperell, in the second half sealed the win. Eke spent much of the second half with only 13 players on the field, being on the wrong end of four yellow cards dished out by referee Mike Wakefield. Winger Daniel Lochhead was outstanding for the victors, strong on defence and dangerous on attack. Fullback Jack Wakeling and halfback Bryan Arnold were the best for the Coasties.

Marcus Daniell wins marathon five-setter TENNIS

Chris Cogdale Wairarapa’s Marcus Daniell and his Dutch partner Wesley Koolhof came from two sets down to win an epic ﬁve-setter and progress to the third round of the men’s doubles at Wimbledon. Daniell and Koolhof defeated Spain’s Jaume Munar and Brit Cameron Norrie, 1-6, 4-6, 7-6, 6-2, 6-2 in a marathon two hours 50 minutes. The Kiwi-Dutch pair were outplayed in the ﬁrst set, going down 1-6 in just 25 minutes. The second set was closer, but Munar and Norrie got the vital break

“marvellous, menacing Marcus Daniell” and stated he was “coach, captain and motivator of his team”. Earlier Daniell and Koolhof had beaten Indian Rohan Bopanna and Uruguayan Pueblo Cuevas 6-4, 6-4, 4-6, 7-6 [9-7] in the ﬁrst round of the doubles. In the third round Daniell and Koolhof will play against Mexico’s Santiago Gonzalez and Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi from Pakistan. Daniell also won his ﬁrst-round mixed doubles match with Jennifer Brady over controversial Australian Nick Kyrgios and Desirae Krawczyk, 6-7 7-6 7-5.

to win it 6-4. Daniell and Koolhof finally found their rhythm in the third set, winning the tiebreaker 7-2. They carried this momentum into the fourth set, winning it decisively 6-2, breaking Munar’s serve in the opening game. Two games later Norrie suffered the same fate. It was deja vu at the start of the fifth set as Daniel and Koolhof broke Munar’s serve in the first game. They repeated that in the fifth game and cruised to victory. Daniell dominated the net with flair and creativity. The British commentator regularly described him as
