Snorkelling fun here for kids Emily Ireland Masterton is a long way from the Great Barrier Reef, but for Annie Kjestrup, it’s always going to be home. The Wairarapa College old girl has recently returned from working on Australia’s Great Barrier Reef as a dive instructor and underwater photographer and will soon be sharing her skills with Wairarapa’s young people. Annie, who works at O2 Dive N Surf in Masterton, owned by Tim and Mandy Emerson, will be running a snorkelling course at the Masterton pool over Term 4 for kids. The programme, which reached capacity soon after it was announced, will teach kids about snorkelling equipment and skills, but will also teach participants to be “underwater ambassadors”. “It will be completely focused on teaching kids ocean conservation, sustainable fishing, marine habitats, ecosystems – I’m going to teach them through games,

Mandy Emerson and Annie Kjestrup of O2 Dive N Surf Masterton.

and hopefully through those games, they will be developing their skills too,” Annie said. “At the end of it, we will have a whole lot of little underwater ambassadors who are super passionate about the ocean.” Dive shop owner Mandy Emerson, who is well

known for her mixed media artwork, said since opening the shop a year-and-a-half ago, she had always wanted to run something for the kids to teach them snorkelling skills. “But we never really had the time because I paint, and Tim dives.

When Annie came back to Masterton, everything fell into place to start rolling out the programme. But Annie’s return was bittersweet – her mum Helen Kjestrup died in June at the age of 61 after a fall. She was a well-known leader in the Wairarapa

health community. “I’ve just come back to spend time with family and Mandy and Tim have taken me under their wings,” Annie said. She hopes to share her passion for the ocean while living here. “There are so many coastlines that are just an

hour away. “I’d like to teach kids to read safe environments so that they don’t get themselves too confident. “They need to know that the ocean is a dangerous place if you don’t respect it.” Mandy said the shop would supply programme participants with the snorkel, mask, and fins, and that about 50 were already enrolled to take part. “Lots of families can’t afford to do a lot of things, but most can afford a trip to the beach and take a picnic. “If their kids are a bit more confident in the water, that means the parents will be more confident for them to splash around and look at the rocks – and it hasn’t cost a lot. “It’s so important for kids to be confident in the water – it really is.” • For more information, visit the O2 Dive N Surf Facebook page, or email Annie on anniekjestrup@gmail. com.

Wairarapa a vintage car lover’s playground Continued from page 1 “We are so lucky in the Wairarapa,” Gaye said. “Vintage car enthusiasts love coming here because of our roads, the lack of traffic, and drivers who are understanding of the speed limit some veteran cars have. When we joined, a vintage car was really vintage – the older the better. But the Vintage Car Club overall in New Zealand brought in a rule that any car older than 30 years, was actually eligible to be in the membership. “So, when organising club events, you are catering for all sorts of vehicles over an 80-year range, from really slow veteran cars that go a top speed of 25 miles an hour, up to cars that are going

everyday speeds.” While some clubs nationally had a declining membership, Wairarapa was gaining members in people who had recently relocated to the region, and also some “really young enthusiastic guys that have bought or restored vintage cars”. “We didn’t get many members for a while and as the membership got older, the runs got more casual,” Francis said. “But in the past five years, we have started to pick up some younger members again.” While a lot of events were smooth sailing, there were some challenges that came with operating such old vehicles, Francis said. “Imagine you have to go

to the ferry and you need to catch it at 7am for an event down south. “You have to leave here in the dark – and vintage cars have got almost candles for lights,” he said laughing. “So, it’s a lot of planning,

but also a lot of fun.” At Saturday’s event, participants will leave from Clareville Showgrounds at 10am and set off on one of three available routes to Eketahuna and back. There will be a short route, a longer and more

competitive route, and a touring route. Masterton people can expect to see the vehicles return to town along Colombo Rd and Dixon St between 2pm and 3pm in the afternoon on Saturday. That night, car club members and event participants will celebrate the club’s 50 years with a prizegiving function and the launch of a book detailing the club’s first 50 years, written by Maureen Bull. At this event, the club founder Rex Porter’s De Dion Bouton (1907) will be on show. Sunday will be the big day for public participation, with the club hosting a car show day at Solway Showgrounds.

There will be cars on show and a gymkhana styled event, food stalls, a compere, and music. This event opens at 10am to the public and people are encouraged to wear 60s or vintage fashion. Admission is $5 a car load, or a gold coin donation for each person. Profits from this event will go to the Life Flight Trust. The Pointons said they would like to thank major sponsor Fagan Motors, and also the wider Wairarapa for their support over the years. “If you see us out and about, give us a toot,” Gaye said.

Food charities to join forces “It’s great that both organisations are working so closely together,” Lyn said. “Foodbank has been operating in our community for over 20 years and the addition of WaiWaste’ s rescued food has enabled us to provide more fresh items in our parcels and to meet the increase in demand for food parcels.” WaiWaste chairperson Jeremy Logan said that working together was a natural fit for both organisations and that it allowed WaiWaste to focus on rescuing food that would otherwise be destined for the landfill. “Food wastage is becoming a major issue for communities to address, and retailers that come on board have a real opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of disadvantaged people by providing additional food for distribution, while decreasing the impact on

the environment,” he said. WaiWaste has been rescuing food since 2016, and its operation has grown to now include collecting food from local supermarkets, cafes, bakeries, and vegetable growers throughout the region. Food that is rescued can include fresh produce, prepared foods that are excess to requirements like sandwiches, bread & bakery products, frozen or fresh meat, dairy products, eggs, frozen foods, pre-packaged foods or meals in original packaging and nonalcoholic beverages. The opening tomorrow at 2pm will be officiated by Mayor Lyn Patterson and is open to anyone who wants to join on this occasion.

Remembrance trees at Masterton park attacked

Well-equipped vandals have drilled deep holes in at least two oak trees planted around the Lake of Remembrance in Masterton. The holes are around 20cm deep, and reach the core of the trees. Shavings left at the base of the tree indicate power tools were used. It was not clear if any poison has been poured into the holes.

WaiWaste and Foodbank are launching the opening of their new premises in Cricket Street tomorrow at 2pm. The two organisations have joined forces to reduce food wastage and provide food for people in need. Waiwaste now focuses on rescuing food that is good enough to eat, but not able to be sold, while Foodbank is focusing on distributing food both to individuals as food parcels and to organisations who support people struggling to buy food for themselves and their families. Both have recently moved to the old Magie B’s salon on Church St and are using the rear entrance on Cricket St. Foodbank Coordinator Lyn Tankersley said the new building was “perfect” and was big enough to house both organisations. It also has room for community displays and information boards in the Church St windows.

Wairarapa home to ‘111’ trial’ Beckie Wilson

New Zealand’s 111 emergency service has just marked its 60th anniversary – and it all started in Masterton and Carterton. On the first day of the phone line’s trial, the exchanges in the towns received just three “genuine calls”, according to a Wairarapa Times-Age article published at the time. But there was also a spate of wrong calls to people somehow dialling the wrong number, and faults in the system. The three genuine calls were for a doctor, police, and the fire service (for a rubbish fire in Carterton). The service started as a trial in September 1958 before progressively being rolled out nationally. The new number streamlined emergency calls and sped up response times. In the beginning, the trial service created some confusion for operators who soon realised they needed to check whether a caller was in Masterton or Carterton as the same street names appeared in both towns. According to a TimesAge editorial published on the day of the launch, the new emergency service was “long overdue”.

Masterton Phone Exchange in the 1950s.

“A person confronted with such an emergency is often too disturbed or shocked to think clearly, but, if the number ‘111’ is imprinted upon his mind, he will be assured of a speedy connection,” the editorial said. The writer hoped that the new service would act as a deterrent for intruders knowing police could be called much quicker. On day one of the trial, some people “tried out” the service by calling and waiting for a reply before hanging up, the Times-Age reported. One caller asked for the address of a Carterton hotel. The number 111 was specifically chosen to be

similar to Britain’s 999 service, but New Zealand telephones pulsed in reverse to those in the UK. In the UK, dialling 9 sent nine pulses, while in New Zealand, it was dialling 1 that sent nine pulses. A number that sent one pulse was not used because of possibility of false calls caused by accidents such as open-wire lines tapping together. For manual exchanges, there was no need to have an emergency number – all calls went through an operator. But when exchanges were automised, callers needed to use the number of the emergency service they required or call the toll operator who looked after

long-distance calls. The telephone exchange in Masterton was replaced in 1956, and was the first exchange to have the technology installed for the 111 service. When a subscriber dialled 111, the call was routed by the automatic exchange onto one of three dedicated lines to the toll switchboard at the Masterton exchange – where an operator would answer. Dedicated lines connected the toll switchboard to the Masterton police station, fire brigade, and the hospital. Today, a 111 call is answered by a Spark Emergency Service Operator in

either Wellington or Christchurch, then transferred to the required emergency service. Last year, 2.1 million 111 calls were made – about 6000 calls every day. But 30 per cent are “nongenuine” calls – hang-ups, children calling for as pranks, and pocket calls from mobile phones. To celebrate the anniversary, Spark and emergency services has made a video with advice for people calling 111. As identified in the first trial, the key piece of information all three services need from callers is their location. “It’s really important callers provide the exact address of the emergency

and if they can’t do that, identifying an important landmark is the next best thing,” Fire and Emergency national communication centres manager Gavin Travers said. It’s important to stay on the line – speaking to an operator on the phone doesn’t delay help, Wellington Free Ambulance communication centre director Kate Jennings said. Police’s communication centres recently introduced a 111 deaf text service for people with hearing impairment. Dialling emergency numbers used in other countries, 999 or the United States’ 911, will still connect to 111 service.

NZ dog roll inventer dies

Carterton

Beckie Wilson Dogs were champing at the bit 40 years ago for what was believed to be New Zealand’s first dog roll – a revolutionary invention that still lives on. The first nonrefrigerable dog roll was born out of a collaboration of three rural Wairarapa blokes in the early 1970s. The last of the “Chunky” dog roll founders, David Topp, 84, died on September 22, but farmers, and even his son, continue to buy the product today. The beauty of the dog roll was it didn’t need to be chilled or frozen – it had a long shelf life. In 1973, Topp, along with Rusty Thomas and Graham Nathan, established Wairarapa Farm Meats. The business allowed farmers to truck in their older sheep, known as dog tuckers, to be slaughtered and frozen for dog food. With its high percentage of meat, it was an appealing concept for farmers not having to slaughter their own dog tuckers. The next year, the dog roll, called “Topps Chunky” at the time, was created with the help of a Massey University scientist.

Not long after, Wairarapa By Products was established using waste products from Wairarapa Farm Meats. Both businesses were based at Waingawa in Carterton, now JNL, and employed a significant number of Wairarapa people. Cattle with bovine Tuberculous [TB] could also be slaughtered there – the first facility of its kind. Masterton’s Peter Morris’ younger brother, Brid Morris, bought the Wairarapa Farm Meats business in the 1980s and expanded it where he could. Brid died last year, but Peter, who managed the business for his brother, remembers the business’ thriving days. Peter, a national equestrian icon and judge, said there was a lot of hype when it was first produced – something new, and convenient, for dog owners. He believed the dog roll invention was an “offshoot” product using the abundant left-over offal. The convenience of dog roll was alluring to the townies, he said. Only a small piece was fed to the dog as it was quite dense, and expensive, Peter said.

He can vaguely remember the cooking process of the dog roll which involved offal going into a big mincer, then into a big mixer bowl where additives were added, including garlic powder and sugar. The mix was then put into a thick sausage skin before being boiled for a few hours. At the businesses’ peak, “tonnes and tonnes” of offal was trucked in from other freezing works regularly to keep up with demand, he said. Peter said looking back on it, “it was a big operation”. Clive Cooper, who worked for Brid, said not many people knew the recipe – “it was kept a good secret,” he said. The “Chunky” dog roll is still being produced by Fond Foods. Topp strived for a challenge but was never money driven, his son Mason said at his funeral recently. While he made friends easily, he was a true animal-lover. He grew up in Gisborne and left school at the age of 15. He started off as a stock drover, then onto shepherding and farm management jobs.

After marrying Wairarapa local, Molly, he moved to the region and managed her family farm, Eparaima Station, near Riversdale. His love for stockto-plate saw him buy Masterton’s Eastside Butchery, and the Greytown Butchery, in the late 1970s. He farmed a block of land in east Taratahi until

the late 1990s. In his later years, Topp was known for his large bottle collections. Topp was the uncle of comedy duo Lynda and Jools Topp, the Topp Twins. He is survived by wife Molly, siblings Pat and Peter, children Felicity and Mason, and five grandchildren.

Wairarapa dairy farmer Rachel Gardner is encouraging other young people to talk about mental health. The South Wairarapa Young Farmers member was one of 14 people who took part in a Good Yarn workshop, organised by NZ Young Farmers, in Carterton. “The workshop was really informative and a great way to develop new skills,” said the 24-year-old dairy farmer. “I now have the confidence to recognise

signs of stress or mental illness in those around me and how to approach the issue.” Good Yarn workshops have been developed for farmers and rural professionals. They equip people with the tools to recognise if a family member, farming colleague or customer is struggling and where to seek support. The workshop generated plenty of discussion, Good Yarn facilitator Megan Bates said. “That’s the beauty of

these sessions, they’re small so people often feel more comfortable giving everything a go,” she said. Adverse weather events, animal health problems and relationship issues can all have a negative impact on a person’s ability to cope and make good decisions. People who aren’t coping may lose interest in activities, struggle with daily challenges and their personality may change. “The key thing is that you don’t need to be an expert on mental health to have a chat to someone about it.”

International research has found that people who thrive have five things in common. They feel connected with others, give regularly, keep learning, are physically active and enjoy the simple things in life. NZ Young Farmers has a network of almost 80 clubs across the country, which hold meetings, social events and competitions This week is Mental Health Awareness Week, an annual event run by the Mental Health Foundation.

12 Wairarapa Midweek Opinion Wednesday, October 10, 2018 EDITORIAL

MIDWEEK PHOTOS

Screen time(waster) Piece of mind

Opinion

Emily Ireland Screen time is an interesting subject these days. And with the latest update on my phone giving me a weekly report on how much I really use my device, I’m starting to think I have a problem. If you have an iPhone and have recently updated the operating system, you can find this screen time report in your settings. To explain my problem, I must go back to the start of my phone usage. I think I must have been 14 years old when I first got a mobile phone. It was a LG flip phone and was loaded with $20 credit to last a year if I remember correctly. I was given the phone by my parents so I could let them know when I needed to be picked up

from various after-school activities. “Everybody else” had internet on theirs, and before I knew it, quite a few of my friends even had iPhones. I remember watching them use the touch screen, check their social media with ease, and take selfies with the front-facing camera. I was so jealous! I think it was only when I left high school and was working near-fulltime that I bought myself a touch screen phone. It was a game-changer. And that’s where it all started. To give you a picture of what my screen time is today, I’ll show you what my first weekly report told me. (It’s not pretty.)

Have you got a photo you want to share with Wairarapa? Whether it’s a reader photo, a cutie, or a snap of you with your Midweek, email it to midweek@age.co.nz with ‘Midweek Photo’ in the subject line, and it could be featured in this segment.

In the past seven days, I have averaged three hours and three minutes on my phone. Each. Day. That is a grand total of 21 hours and 28 minutes – it’s practically a part-time job! I have spent almost 10 hours using entertainment apps, four hours on social networking apps, and almost four hours on “productivity” apps. For someone who often complains of “not having enough time” to do housework, I think I have found the problem. The light at the end of the tunnel is that this new app (that has made me really question what I do with my time) also has an option to set “Downtime”, and time limits for certain apps. Like they say, there’s an app for everything! So, wish me luck as I attempt to shave my screen time down. This may just be the most productive week of my life!

MAKING A WILL Why should I make a Will? A Will allows you to say how your property is to be distributed when you die. It can also determine how you want your children looked after, say what you want to happen to your body, and set out what sort of funeral you would like. Because you can make the most appropriate allocation of your assets, a Will may reduce family conflict after you die. Your Will is an opportunity to structure your affairs in a way that can greatly assist your family. For example, restructuring asset ownership in conjunction with an appropriately prepared Will may assist your partner to become eligible for a rest home subsidy.

OPEN DAY SUN OCT 21 10 AM - 3PM

If I don’t have a Will, what happens to my property? If you don’t have a Will, the Administration Act and/or the Property Relationship Act determines how your property is distributed. It does not all go automatically to your spouse or partner. Rather it is divided between various relatives in certain proportions. In our experience most people would not choose to divide their estate up in this way. A carefully drafted Will can minimise exposure to means testing.

KOHA ENTRY FREE TOURS ACTIVITIES LOCAL ARTS & CRAFTS

If I don’t have Will, what happens to my children? If you make a Will you can name people who will act as guardians for your children. A guardian is responsible for decisions regarding custody, education and religion. Guardians do not necessarily have day to day care of your children, but they do decide

who will, and also ensure they are properly looked after. If you don’t have a Will someone (who ever feels they should) applies to the Court for a guardian to be appointed. That can lead to conflict if several people in a family believe they are best placed to care for your children. What do I need to put in my Will? The first thing a Will does is to revoke any previous Wills. You should appoint at least one and preferably two executors and trustees. These are the people entrusted with carrying out your wishes after you die, so they should be people you trust implicitly. You may want to consider appointing an independent person such as your lawyer or your accountant to act as a trustee. This can be especially useful if there is a difficult family situation. The trustees arrange to pay your debts and funeral expenses. You can appoint who you would like to act as guardians for your children if you and the other parent of your children both die. You can say if you want to be buried or cremated, and can specify funeral arrangements. You can make gifts of certain property or money to specific people or charities. This provides certainty and can be very important in delicate family situations. You can write off debts to a family trust or leave assets in trust for special purposes, such as an education fund for grandchildren.

14 Wairarapa Midweek Extra Wednesday, October 10, 2018 ARATOI KEEPERS

Alphabet and memory “The Alphabet is a known structure which is constant and unchanging, whereas the Holocaust for those who weren’t there is almost impossible to comprehend,” writes Masterton artist Hélène Carroll, who created her series, The Alphabet Paintings, from 2015 to 2018. The 26 paintings combine the “benign” of a child’s ABC with a history “somewhat skewed and rather sinister”. “For the last 20 or so years, I have been

trying to find a language with which to tell my stories . . . Auschwitz, Birkenau, Belsen, Dachau, Eichmann, etc. were all part of the language I absorbed as a child . . . I feel that I am a memorykeeper for my children and their children.” This weekly ‘Keepers’ features a work from the Aratoi Wairarapa Museum of Art and History collection, the only public collection of art in the Wairarapa. ‘The Alphabet Paintings’ is a recent acquisition.

End of life referendum Cal Roberts A recent poll shows New Zealanders are in favour of a referendum on assisted dying, but the region’s representatives are a mixed bag when it comes to who they think should make the decision. A binding referendum on the proposed End of Life Choice law was suggested by New Zealand First, and a recent Horizon Poll of nearly 1000 people found 68 per cent agree with Labour’s coalition partner. The Bill, presented by ACT’s David Seymour, would give adults with a terminal illness or a grievous and irremediable medical condition the option of requesting assistance with dying. National MP for Wairarapa Alastair Scott is not in favour of a referendum. He said he wanted to do the job he was elected for, and to put issues to a referendum was “a bit of a cop-out”. “MPs have been selected and elected to make decisions, they’re there to vote on various matters. “That’s why we have a house of representatives.” Scott said he attended the public meeting in July when Seymour came to Carterton to discuss euthanasia — where more than 250 people showed up. Scott voted against the bill in its first reading and said his view on the bill reflected that of his electorate. “There’s 120-odd of us [MPs] and we’re there to make decision on behalf of our voters.” He said the bill was likely to change as it went through the Select Committee process, and people may not be completely up to date with the bill’s language when it came time for a referendum. “That’s my job — I’m here to read the bill, debate it and discuss it across the house with other MPs.” New Zealand First MP for Warirarpa, Ron Mark disagrees, saying the decision lay with New Zealanders outside of Parliament. “New Zealand First’s position is that issues of social change should be put to the people in a binding referendum. “We don’t believe that 120 MPs sitting in Parliament, aligning to their party philosophies, are an accurate barometer of the social mood of the nation. “I fully support the people of New Zealand having a say on the issue,” Mark said. Labour list MP Kieran McAnulty said he voted for the bill at its first reading because he supports people’s right to dignity in death, “but also because I wanted the country to have a say through the select committee process.” McAnulty said his support for the bill would depend on what changes come out of that process. “If I am satisfied that the safeguards within the proposed system are sound, then I will be able to vote for it.”

New art gallery to open A small unique gallery will soon open its doors at Mount Bruce. The Bruce Batique Gallery will present batik works and drawings by new settler to the area, Julie Donvin-Irons. Returning to a creative lifestyle Julie has spent many years working with major companies and charities in New Zealand and the UK. Previously Julie was an innovating fabric dyer and batik artist in New Zealand in the 1980s and early 90s. She sold works throughout the country and overseas. She has also won several awards for her design works. After a stint in the UK she returned to New Zealand with her husband and daughters where she returned to the Wellington region and took on the role of CEO at Arts Access Aotearoa. Julie had a vision to ensure that

artists whose work was less likely to be noticed as they worked outside of formal establishments, was represented in the art world. She negotiated an important space within Parliament as the Outside-In Gallery. The then current Prime Minister Helen Clarke opened the gallery in 2007 and invited Julie for further discussions on how to assist. Furthermore, Julie was the founder of the Arts Access Awards to make certain that the artists and those working with them were highlighted each year at Parliament. She is delighted that the legacy remains and their work is seen each year. The Bruce Batique Gallery, at Mount Bruce Lodge, will be officially opened by Masterton Mayor Lyn Patterson, on Friday, October 19 at 3pm.

Amici to play Greytown Amici Ensemble will play at Kuranui College on Sunday. PHOTO/FILE

in New York City, “the time I spent at Waikanae Beach during a brief visit back to New Zealand felt completely surreal”. “Coastlines reflects on this dreamlike reacquaintance with the expansive Kapiti Coast, particularly its shifting light and hypnotic tides.” Flute player Bridget Douglas is also enthusiastic about the new work, saying you can really hear the sounds of the sea, with different instrumental techniques used to create the different sound effects. Along with Coastlines, the whole ensemble will perform the Ravel Introduction and Allegro. This piece came about as a result of a ‘harp war’ between rival harp manufacturers in France at the beginning of the twentieth century. Ravel was commissioned

by harp makers Erard, who had invented the double action pedal harp, to show that their harp was a better instrument than the rival Pleyel chromatic harp. The Ravel piece couldn’t be played on the Pleyel harp, so won the ‘harp war’ for Erard, and their invention is the commonly used harp today. The programme also includes two Mozart works: the Clarinet Quintet which is a favourite with audiences, and the Flute Quartet in D major. Bridget Douglas will also perform the solo flute piece, Syrinx, by Debussy. Amici Ensemble: Sunday 14 October, 4pm, in the Kuranui College Auditorium, East St, Greytown. Admission $25 adults, $10 students. For bookings, phone Ed and Juliet Cooke on (06) 3049 497 or email on efjac@xtra.co.nz. Door sales will also be available.

ALLERGIES IN PETS As the weather gets warmer, some of our furry friends may start to have trouble with allergies, much like we do! Here’s an overview to help you cope with itchy pets at home! The main symptom of an allergy in dogs and cats tends to be constant itching and scratching. It’s not very common for animals to show symptoms such as sneezing or coughing in response to an allergy, though it can happen. The most common allergies pets suffer from are caused by fleas, food, or a condition known as atopy. Flea allergy dermatitis (FAD) is a hypersensitivity reaction to being bitten by fleas and results in itchiness in areas such as the tail base, flanks or sides of the body, and legs. Hot spots can form after FAD, and look like areas of skin infection with crusts or greasy/ exudative skin and hair. Check your animals for live fleas or flea dirt if you’re suspicious this is happening, and remember bedding and carpets may house the fleas as well! Usually FAD can be treated with regular flea treatment of your animal and house/environment and a short course of steroids to bring inflammation down in the skin, if necessary. If an animal suffers from FAD, is it likely to be an ongoing condition so staying on top of flea treatment is vital! Food allergies are typically reactions to specific ingredients in your pets’ diet – such as meat proteins, milk, or cereals and grains. This type of allergy typically appears as a whole body/ generalized itching, sometimes affecting the ears. It can also affect the gut system and cause upsets

such as diarrhoea. It is important to note that a food allergy can develop at any time, regardless of how long the animal has been eating a certain food! Treatment of a food allergy includes diet trials, antihistamines and steroids. Atopy is a general term used to describe an allergy to a substance in the environment, such as pollen or mould. Atopy is more common in some breeds including Terriers, Poodles, Retrievers, and German Shepherds, among others. Itching is usually seen around the face, feet and belly and can be seasonal. Hair loss, hot spots, and discolouration of hair are other symptoms. Diagnosis can be difficult as it is made through eliminating other causes of the allergic reaction. It is a lifelong condition but can be managed with shampoos, anti-itch medications, monitoring and removing allergens, and hyposensitization therapy. If you’re suspicious your pet may suffer an allergy try to be conscious of when reactions occur and what is in the environment at the time. Itching animals can be frustrating but with proper therapy and knowledge the problem is usually manageable!

This week I took some rangatahi, youngsters, to Matakitaki-a-Kupe, known for a hole in a rock. The legend is that Kupe looked through this hole and saw his daughter being carried off by a wheke, a giant octopus and eventually she was killed. This ocean place is named kawakawa because as the family of Kupe mourned for their loved one, they wore Kawakawa leaves around their head. The rock pools there have three different coloured rocks that stand out from the normal rocks. The story of Kupe looks

at the rock pool as a maumahara or a memorial with the white rock symbolising tears, red rocks symbolising the blood from when people cut themselves while mourning and green rocks symbolizing the hupe or mucus that accompanies extreme mourning. After explaining this, I realised this was a memory of the first human death on New Zealand soil. Other areas throughout New Zealand have different stories, but for Wairarapa this is our story. I also thought that the first death was untimely

as a parent mourned the passing of a child. In the rock pools, in a nice piece of powerful irony, new life in the form of seal pups play. I asked the students to consider their role as kaitiaki and be guardians of the seals; be guardians of this memorial place and be guardians of our land’s discoverer, Kupe, according to Wairarapa history. They brought respectful peace to this place. Being brought up in a whanau with strong Maori ideals, I was included in tangihanga or funerals. The first I can remember was my Poupou, Rangiuea Namana. That was sad, but there was much more sadness because from three generations of whanau, untimely

deaths of my cousins came like thieves in the night leaving us heartbroken. In this whanau or extended family, I have witnessed some of my generation’s brightest minds, biggest hearts, strongest wills and most infectious laughs be silenced. In our broken hearts and busy minds there is a place for each of my cousins. Cancer has written the latest chapter of our mourning as a family. I will never forget the fight of my cousin. I will think twice before I moan about the struggles I am having. I will think twice before I turn to negativity as I watched my cousin look into the face of cancer with positivity. The memorials written in rock ask me to think that families are forever.

The happiness project 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. Midweek Musings

Tim Nelson

The Happiness Project

On the local news recently, there was an item about something called The Happiness Project. Essentially this is something that was developed by a person who was suffering from depression. It has since gone on to have a hugely positive impact on the developer’s life, as well as on the lives of many others who have used the project. One of the best things about The Happiness Project is its simplicity; all that’s involved is taking a photo every day of something to be grateful for or something that makes you happy. This can be anything, from a cup of freshly brewed coffee to the morning paper that has been delivered to your doorstep. The Happiness Project is a means of helping to recognise and appreciate many good things that we

have in our lives.

Shut down your computer

Some time ago I attended a professional development course on the use of ICT. A key learning was that I no longer needed to shut down my laptop when I finished using it at the end of the day. For years afterwards, until only recently, whenever I finished using my laptop I just closed the lid. However, after ‘finishing for the day’ I was finding that I would continue to go back to my laptop to maybe do just a little more on a project or to check out one more YouTube clip. The reason I did it was because it was so easy; I just opened the top and started. This isn’t the case when I have to wait while the system reboots after shutting it down, as the extra period of time is enough of a deterrent to prevent me from using the

device; I will instead wait until the following day when I’m back at work.

How to make where you live a better place to be

This idea came from the Minimalists Podcast. The two hosts discuss the places where they have lived and answer questions from listeners about the places where they reside. The key message that came through to me was that if we want the town we live in to be a better place, we need to contribute towards making it so. A great example from my own town are two friends, Karen and Ray, who are always organising and taking part in events like tree planting and environmental restoration projects. The benefits of what they do all add up to make own town a better place to live, not just for Karen and Ray, the impact will benefit the who community and will do so now, but even more so in the future.

Why being grateful is so important

In the Time Magazine special issue ‘Mindfulness – A Pathway to Health and Happiness’, there is a feature on gratitude and its many benefits. It is incredible how many ways our lives are enhanced by being grateful. The benefits include: you’ll feel happier; you’ll boost your energy levels;

you’ll get healthier; you’ll be more resilient; you’ll improve your relationship; you’ll be a nicer person. The great thing about expressing and feeling gratitude is that it can be done right now; there’s no cost involved and it’s something that anyone can do. Start with just one thing you are grateful for; it could be as simple as the ability to read this column, knowing that there are millions of people in the world who are illiterate or don’t have access to the technology to use a fabulous resource like LinkedIn.

Start again

I love streaks – keeping the chain of unbroken days going for as long as possible for all manner of things. One example of this is my te reo Maori learning, which is now up to 126 days. However, there have been many streaks in the past that have ended and then stopped completely, simply because the sense of accomplishment has gone when the chain was broken. To overcome the disappointment of a broken streak simply start again. The momentum will soon build and the sense of achievement will return.

Phone stacking – how to not use your phone when out with friends

for dinner

I read the idea of phone stacking in Time Magazine. It’s a method for not using your phone when having a meal with friends. The process is simple and will have you enjoying the immediate company, as opposed to checking your social media accounts or emails. To phone stack, everyone takes their phone and puts it in a stack with the other phones in the centre of the table. The first person to reach for their phone has to pay for everyone’s meals. This should be plenty of incentive to pay attention to those you are spending your time with.

Beware of switch cost

The idea of switch cost is shared by professor of neuroscience at MIT, Earl Miller. Switch cost is when we constantly switch our attention and focus from one thing to another and is usually related to our use of email and social media. Essentially, there is a residue that sticks with us when we continuously switch our focus, with the last thing we focused on negativity impacting on what we are trying to do in the moment. To avoid switch cost we need to develop the habit of sticking with and concentrating on one task and nothing else for a prolonged period of time.

Mental Health

AWARENESS WEEK

MONDAY 8 - SUNDAY 14 OCTOBER

Sharing her story of depression When Beck Eleven, a columnist for The Press in Christchurch, wrote a frank, honest blog about depression, Fighting the black dog in April 2015, she was unprepared for the response.

It was a day like that which prompted her to write a column about depression. She says her boss was so understanding and told her to take her time getting back to work.

“The feedback I got was immense, the number of emails and Twitter messages from friends and strangers, those with depression, those with a partner with depression,” she says.

Thinking back, Beck recalls her symptoms of depression and anxiety first appeared while she was working in London. One day she had a panic attack, everything went twodimensional and she got pins and needles. On returning to New Zealand, she studied journalism, then worked at The Press, but symptoms persisted.

“It’s not the first time I’ve written about it, but not as frank as this piece.” Beck’s personal experience of depression gave her the inside scoop on this common condition, which kicked started her desire to write about it. “Depression really sneaks up on you and then you realise you are crying everyday… As much as the stigma has been chipped away, you still can’t ring up work and say, ‘I can’t get myself out of bed’.”

Mental Health Awareness Week, from Monday 8th to Sunday 14th October, is run each year by the Mental Health Foundation. The theme this year is “Let nature in, strengthen your wellbeing- Mā te taiao kia whakapakari tōu oranga.” From learning about native birds and picking herbs from the garden to seeing the sunset from the kitchen window, the Foundation saw how positively nature was embraced in last years’ theme. There is a growing interest in people receiving ‘eco-therapy’ when they’re feeling low. We benefit from being in nature, taking notice of the beauty that is around us, connecting with others and being active. It helps us to feel relaxed, take an interest in other people and improves our sense of wellbeing,” she says. The links with improved physical and mental health are proven and well established. People feel less stressed, more relaxed and refreshed when they venture into the outdoors, whether they are exercising or helping to contribute to a worthwhile conservation project.

It wasn’t until a conversation with a friend in the UK who asked “Do you think you might be depressed”, that Beck saw a GP and took medication to relieve her symptoms. Following another bad patch

“Everything was different for me and that was really tough.” Despite it all, in sharing her story, Beck has found what she writes about can help others, she can chip away more of the mental health stigma and has truly made her column count. The Mental Health Foundation’s Information Service has a wealth of information on mental health topics including depression and bipolar disorder. Source: www.mentalhealth.org.nz

“I would wake up at 4am no matter what time I had gone to sleep. My flat mate used to find me outside, shaking and smoking.” Yet at work, she was functioning and well.

and a change of doctor, Beck was living in a great neighbourhood and doing well until the Canterbury earthquakes turned everything upside down. Beck lost her home, and then her mum and sister were hospitalised – both live with bipolar disorder.

Pondering the Milky Way With the moon gone byebyes for now, it is a good opportunity to get out to a dark place and view the Milky Way. Get away from town lights, then give yourself 15 minutes in complete darkness for your eyes to accustom – that makes all the difference. It may look like we are not part of Milky Way, but you have to look at it like when you are in a fog. With a hundred metres visibility it may look like you are not part of the fog, but it gets denser the further you look because with distance you are looking through more moisture droplets. Replace the moisture droplets with stars and that is what you are getting when looking at the Milky Way. In this case you have about 20,000 light years of visibility, then the stars get too thick for you to see inside the galaxy. It is great to stand there and ponder what is going on in there, where the stars are as dense as sand on the beach. There must be sentient beings looking back this way, you might think. After all there’s 100 to 200 billion stars in there. I was watching some boffins on TED.com

Sky Watch

Nick Sault presenting their ideas on why we are here and what life is out there. To be honest, I thought these top men of science and philosophy provided no more than 12 minutes of waffle. There seemed to be lots of talk about multi-verses and other dimensions, all of

which are just speculative. And we can all speculate, can’t we? The fact is that when one looks at events that led to the creation of our Solar System, and then the events that happened in the evolution of life on Earth – both creative and destructive – it becomes

obvious that the myriad of paths taken in the whole process of producing sentient beings like humans might never have been duplicated in the universe, or ever will be. So, in my book, we are here because we are darned lucky to be part of a one in an octillion sequence of events. Simple as that. It’s so easy to look at that grand misty magical stream of stars across our SW sky and wonder what is going on out there, but at best there may be just

bacterial life that doesn’t care diddly-squat about our ponderings. After all, that’s all the life there was on Earth for the first 3 billion years, before the Cambrian explosion in the last half billion years started spewing out every sort of complex life form leading to us. DNA was the reason for that explosion of life, and what are the chances such an incredibly complex molecule could be invented twice? Up next: Great Andromeda galaxy.

MINI EXCAVATOR IDEAL FOR HARD TO GET TO PLACES

OUT & ABOUT IN

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.

Lashes

Beauty And

at THE LAB

On September 29th Tina Paku said goodbye to her beauty clinic Skin & Body. But two days later she opened the doors of her new beauty clinic THE LAB Lashes & Beauty just across the road in the Kuripuni shopping village. “Skin & Body had grown so much in the past two years that we had outgrown our premises,” says Tina. “We felt it was time to expand and create a fresh new clinic with a fresh new image for our fabulous clients and also our team of beauty experts.” The new space has been redesigned in the former Hebe fashion store at 437 Queen Street. It now has four beauty treatment rooms, plus spray tan booth, feet and hands facilities, and an attractive reception area - all with lots of natural light, the airiness enhanced by a subtle colour scheme and decor. “Each room has been designed to our own specifications and is very functional - everything has its place”, says Tina. While still a boutique clinic, THE LAB is large enough to accommodate Tina, fellow beauty therapists Jax Ropiha and Paula Blundell, as well as visiting clinical specialists Lise Booth and Claudine Stace. Tina was searching for a new name that would better reflect the business as it is today. “My husband Phillip suggested “The LAB”, short for Lashes & Beauty. The name was a winner as it reflects the medical grade specialist services we offer, and the wide range of beauty therapies we offer.” Born and raised in Masterton, Tina has been a beauty therapist since 2001 running her own successful businesses since 2005, as well as tutoring at UCOL for one year, and raising a young family.

Tina’s special interests are eyelash extensions and IPL, but she enjoys all beauty therapies. Jax Ropiha is an all-round beauty expert and senior therapist who has just joined THE LAB, bringing nearly 10 years in the industry. “Jax is very driven and a huge asset to our team at The Lab.” The third member of the team is Paula Blundell. “Paula has a beautiful aura, and the magic touch. She loves giving a good massage or facial which is not surprising as she has previous experience as a physiotherapist.” Clinical specialists Lise Booth (Coast Aesthetics) and Claudine Stace (Lasting Beauty) visit THE LAB once a month from Hawke’s Bay and Wellington respectively. Lise is a qualified beauty therapist and registered nurse who is passionate about cosmetic injecting and appearance medicine. Claudine Stace is passionate about cosmetic tattooing and how it can help and enhance women of all ages. Previously she was a senior make-up artist and hairstylist for television, photographic, commercial, magazine, and event makeup. With a room dedicated to their visits, Tina is hoping to bring Lise and Claudine to the Wairarapa more often. The other member of the team is THE LAB’s medical cosmeceutical skin care range SKINCARE FX Professional. THE LAB carries out a skin scan and analysis for its clients before recommending the best SKINCARE FX Professional product to achieve the fastest and best results from their treatments.

Women who make the calls Opportunities at Volunteering Wairarapa

Volunteering Wairarapa

Jill Greathead Volunteering Wairarapa provided a team of volunteers to help at the luncheon where Kristine Bartlett, New Zealander of the Year 2018, was the guest speaker in August. This provided us with a great opportunity to work as a team to assist organiser Mena Antonio with this wonderful event. As volunteers we were sponsored a free lunch and had the opportunity of listening to a humbling, heartfelt and inspiring speech by Kristine Bartlett who fought for equal pay for caregivers in New Zealand. As a leadership coach and mentor, Mena has recognised that women in roles of influence need continued support to build connection with other decision makers, and to strengthen leadership in the regions. Diverse and inclusive leadership means safer communities. Mena founded ‘Women who make the calls’ which is a diverse group of women recognised as

Wairarapa leaders who come together every two months for a breakfast forum. Dame Fran Wilde is the next speaker at this Friday’s breakfast and when ‘Women who make the calls’ will celebrate their first birthday. Mena is looking for administration support to join her volunteer team to help with organising these breakfast forums and other events. This would entail maintaining a database of names and sending invitations by email for each breakfast forum and to help setup the event. If this sounds like you, give Mena a call on 0273 279 109 or email her on mena@thediasporaway. co.nz. By coincidence, I listened to the winner of this year’s Supreme Winner of the Women of Influence Awards on National Radio – this is Jackie Clark who runs a charity called ‘The Aunties’ who are volunteers providing support for

Coming together for ‘Women Who Make the Calls’ first public lunch, founder Mena Antonio, Kristine Bartlett – New Zealander of the Year 2018, and coordinator Trudy Hullena. PHOTO/SUPPLIED

women who have or are experiencing domestic violence. Jackie’s point of difference and why she won the Supreme Award is that ‘The Aunties’ walk alongside these women. They ask the simple question – “What do you need?’’ and then give what is needed. There is no judgement.

All needs are met with love and all contributions are given in a way which is helpful to the hearts of these women. Here at Volunteering Wairarapa we are in a blessed role. That is to help bring all people who have been disempowered back into our community to show they are valued by giving

them emotional support. Then they too may be ready to join ‘Women who make the calls’, so they can, like Kristine Bartlett and Jackie Clark, make the big change that is needed in our world by using their kindness, compassion and empathy to help others who are struggling in our society.

Henley Lake Conservation Volunteers on Saturday, October 13 at 9.15am Meet at Henley Lake Carpark off Columbo Rd in Masterton with a spade (if you have one) – for more information, please give Gavin a call on 027 651 4114 or email gavmanfielding@gmail. com Facilitators for the Mexican Food Workshop in Featherston on Saturday November 3 between 10am to 2pm Details: Duties are helping with cleaning dishes, taking photos, handling bookings and An offer in exchange of help is Mexican food. Wings over Wairarapa flyer distributors – Wairarapa A&P Show October 27-28 The Wings team are looking for flyer distributors for two-hour sessions during the show – you will get a free ticket to the show in return for your help. • Interested in finding out more: Contact Jill Greathead on 0274 884 376 or email admin@ waivc.org.nz to discuss these opportunities.

1080, the Unlike almost all other countries, New Zealand has only one native land mammal (bats). But we introduced 14 highly destructive mammalian pests, either for sport, fur, to eat other pests or by accident.

facts

These pests all spread quickly, thriving and multiplying in our virgin native bush and forests, rapidly destroying vegetation and driving many of our native birds to extinction.

The predators… The big question: should we allow introduced predators to kill our native species, or should we kill the predators, so that our native species can survive?

Responsible for up to 60% of kiwi chick deaths. Needs the equivalent of 12.5 fantail chicks every day, just to stay alive. Decimated mainland populations of kakapo and little spotted kiwi.

SHIP RAT

STOAT

BRUSHTAIL POSSUM

Kills birds and chicks, raids nests for eggs, strips the forest canopy. Host and carrier of the infectious disease, bovine Tb. Estimated possum population in New Zealand: 30 million.

Good climber, preys on small birds, chicks, eggs and insects in the forest canopy. Can produce up to 10 offspring every 8 weeks when food is plentiful.

…and their victims

Our unique native birds and plants evolved in isolation over 80 million years with no browsing or predatory animals. Many were wiped out completely, and even today, despite huge efforts to control pests, 2,700 species of New Zealand animals and plants are identified as at risk of extinction.

Most female kokako are killed while sitting on their nests. All unmanaged mainland North Island populations are extinct.

What predator control is achieving TRIPLE PREDATOR HIT

Aerial 1080 operations (including pre-feeding with non-toxic bait) kill possums and rats, and also stoats where they eat the poisoned rats. This triple hit provides a breeding window that is crucial to increasing chick survival.

KIWI SURVIVAL DOUBLES

Following a 1080 operation in the Tongariro Forest in 2006, kiwi chick survival more than doubled. Field trials have shown aerial 1080 is far more effective in protecting kiwi than the labour-intensive process of hand rearing.

9 out of every 10 kiwi chicks that hatch in the wild will die from predation before reaching breeding age (12 mths). All 5 species of kiwi are under threat of extinction.

KOKAKO RESCUED

Over an 8 year period, aerial 1080 effectively ‘rescued’ kokako. Predation was knocked back enough to enable 50% of nests to produce young. In the Mangatutu Ecological Area, over four 1080 drops since 1989, the kokako population grew by 700%. Many other birds benefit. Many other native bird species, including tomtits, whio, kakariki and mohua have been protected and their populations increased following 1080 operations.

1080 in the environment

1080 is a simple toxic compound found in several plants around the world including New

For more information see www.1080facts.co.nz

Zealand’s native puha, developed by the plant as a natural defence against browsing mammals. The poison is used in the manufacture of baits that are toxic to mammalian pests. 1080 does not accumulate or leave permanent residues in soil, plants, water or animals. 1080 is highly water soluble and breaks down rapidly in the environment into harmless substances. 1080 has never been found in human drinking water supplies above the Ministry of Health tolerance level of 2 parts per billion. 1080 does not harm or kill fish, and humans are at extremely low risk of 1080 poisoning from eating fish that have eaten 1080 bait.

Lions members keep busy The ROAR from Zone 4 Wairarapa Lions Activities for September 2018 “Community service” is an important part of being a Lions Club member. As the slogan goes “Where there is a need, there is a LION”. As you read through the local clubs’ recent activities, the Wairarapa is being well served by all the Lions and Lioness clubs in the district. An eight-man team of Carterton Lions Club members recently constructed a new fence at the Carter Court Flats on Wakelin Street. Hopefully this fence will stop trespassing dogs. Peter Jones and Harlow (guide dog) is living with blindness and gave members a very informative talk on his condition (retinitis pigmentosa) and the daily challenges he faces. The club donated $500 towards his fundraising efforts to compete in the Auckland Marathon.

Carterton Central Lions Club plant stall on Daffodil Day proved very popular so members will be doing it again at Carterton Farmers Market on November 4. The “pop-up” café at “Fabric-a-brac” provided hot drinks and home baking to a happy crowd of fabric-aholics and raised money for Grandparents Raising Grandchildren. Masterton Holdsworth Lions Club were saddened by the death of charter member Dulcie Burt recently. Dulcie was a valued dedicated Lion for 38 years. Member Glenys Hansen was honoured with the International Presidents Medal at the ANZI Pacific Forum held in Wellington recently. It was presented to her by IP Gudrun Yngvadottir from Iceland – Lions first woman International President. This is in recognition of Glenys’ work as the Forum Treasurer and also for her work at various District and Club levels. Members cooked 100 “Emergency and Crisis” meal servings to be frozen during the month at the Wairarapa Community Centre. Greytown Lions Club

have been quietly raising funds to purchase an allterrain ViMo wheelchair to be used for our members who have Parkinsons. ViMo stands for vitality in motion and will allow those with limited mobility to access places that conventional wheelchairs will not go, for example over stones or the Greytown Rail Trail. The wheelchair is designed and manufactured in Greytown. Wairarapa Ruamahanga Lions Club members offered “community service” to Hospice Wairarapa

recently and spent a Saturday morning at Te Kowhai Wairarapa Hospice doing some outdoor chores. A large outdoor table and chairs were stained and now look brand new; two members stripped ivy from a large tree at the front of the property and two other members cleaned the outside of all the windows. Martinborough Lions Club “Project Committee” reports that the Aorangi Traps were checked and reset recently. A new style was built on John and Liz Hancox’s “Raupaki Track”

(maintained by Lions). The “Pukemanu” seat used by Wharekaka residents on the way to the square was repaired and an ex member’s widow’s boundary fence is to be replaced soon. Greytown Lioness Club held a Cake & Produce stall outside the Town Centre to support Arbor House rest home. Twelve members travelled to Mt Maunganui for the North Island Lioness Forum which was well attended by other Clubs. Two new members were inducted into our Club at our recent dinner meeting, bringing the membership now to 38. Featherston Lioness Club members who attended the Lioness Forum along with members from the Greytown Club enjoyed their get together with other Lioness members and came back full of ideas. Members were at the Featherston Expo with a display stand and served afternoon tea. Members will be catering for the annual Veterans Cycle Challenge. • For information about joining a Lions Club, go to www.lionsclubs. org.nz

Wairarapa is celebrating bus operator Tranzit Group as an innovator and much more, with the company picking up the top award at the region’s inaugural business awards. The Masterton-based transport and tourism company, owned by the fourth generation of the Snelgrove family, was the Trust House Supreme Award winner at the Wairarapa Awards last week, with the honour bestowed at a gala event at the Copthorne Solway Park Hotel and Resort on Thursday attended by 300 people. The awards were organised by the Wairarapa Chamber of Commerce, with 17 finalists in four categories — Innovation, Vibrant, Emerging, and Team. Tranzit won the Harcourts Innovation category and sponsored the Vibrant category. The independent judging panel selected the supreme winner from the winners of the four categories. Founded in 1924 by Albert Snelgrove, Tranzit operates more than 1500 vehicles and employs more than 1300 people nationwide. Two of Albert’s grandsons, Paul and Keven, run the company and seven directors are Snelgrove descendants. In 2014, Tranzit formed a project team to look at electric vehicle (EV) technology and three years later the 35-seat EV1 became the first battery bus in New Zealand, in Auckland. Since then the company has introduced a fleet of EV buses into Wellington, including 10 double-deckers, after securing a contract with the Greater Wellington Regional Council for 60 per cent of the urban services in the Wellington region. Tranzit wants all buses to be electric powered. It won the Innovation category. Country Village Heaven, which promotes the businesses of Greytown, won the Vibrant category, the ANZ Emerging award was won by Martinborough’s craft gin distillery Reid & Reid, and Eastwood Motor Group won the Gibson Sheat Team category which featured some of the most wellknown Wairarapa businesses, recognising service to the community, wellness and well-being, and investment in people. Two members of the Wairarapa business community were also recognised with personal tributes: Henergy founder Graeme Napier, the pioneer of cage-free egg production, and former Golden Shears president Mavis Mullins. Wairarapa Chamber of Commerce general manager Catherine RossiterStead thanked the category sponsors and Trust House, along with the Wairarapa Times-Age, Mediaworks Wairarapa, Tui, Matahiwi Estate, WREDA, Southey Sayer Accountants, Carterton District Council, Masterton District Council, South Wairarapa District Council and Promote Communications.

40 Wairarapa Midweek Wai Write Wednesday, October 10, 2018

Pursuing the bucket list

Wai Write

Helen Naylor Have you got a bucket list? I haven’t got a written list, but I do have a few things I’d like to do while I’m still able. At some stage I must have said to one of the family I’d like to go on a helicopter. As a result, my combined birthday and Christmas present from all of them was a voucher for a helicopter ride, and they’d chosen the west and south coast route. Finally, on Sunday, April 15, I headed for Wellington and met family who took me to the helicopter pad on Jervios Quay. It was a brilliant day, not a breath of wind and even reflections on part of the harbour, which is most unusual for Wellington. The pilot took us out to the helicopter where we were securely strapped in and given head phones so that we could communicate to each other. I ended up in a prime seat next to the pilot with a good 180’ view all round; beside me was a man, and behind was a couple with two excited small girls. We were soon off and whirling over the wharf out to the harbour, proceeding in a northerly direction,

Going on a helicopter ride is a common addition to bucket lists.

directly into the sun which was a bit hard on the eyes. Everything looked very neat from that height with cars moving in an orderly fashion along the motorway, which I’d just come down an hour before; the river peacefully wound its way down the Hutt Valley and looking across the industrial area, I could see cars wending their way up the Wainuiomata Hill. The copter veered to the west and suddenly we were passing over Haywards Hill, Paramata, Whitby and Porirua.

Looking out the window on my right the extensive new motorway works were clearly visible. “I wonder if I’ll ever drive along the road,” I thought. Suddenly the scene changed to seascapes with the South Island, Mana and Kapiti Islands visible on the right, and bare hilly landscape with power generating windmills on the left. A lot of them were stationary and I wondered if it was lack of wind or if they can put brakes on

them when power is not needed. A little voice behind me kept saying, “I don’t feel very well”, and I hoped I wasn’t in the line of fire, and should I offer the plastic bag I had in my purse? There was so little movement I couldn’t understand any motion sickness but perhaps it was just excitement and fortunately the parents reassured her. Suddenly we dropped down and landed on a small flat rocky area by the

sea, where we clambered out and had a good look at some sleeping seals. Then we continued around the craggy south coast until we saw the city again, with an extensive sports area, Wellington airport and back to the town centre. There was so much to see and identify, and try to photograph, but all too soon we had landed again. I stood in the doorway and looked at the ground, hesitating as I tried to remember which leg to put down first. “Watch your step,” said the pilot as he held out his hand to support me. I probably could have managed alone but elderly ladies have to graciously accept any help that is offered. So, I smiled and said, “Thank you. Lovely trip”. • Helen is a member of the Ruamahanga Club writing group.

There was plenty to celebrate as shearers and woolhandlers – including Masterton’s Paerata Abraham – put their best foot forward at the Waimate Shears New Zealand spring shearing and woolhandling championships on Friday and Saturday. Abraham put on an impressive performance to finish third in the open final at the event. Southern machine shearing ace Nathan Stratford completed a rare seasonopening double by adding the spring shears’ open machine shearing title to the national merinos title he won at Alexandra seven days earlier, although the real target for world championships selection will be the Golden Shears and New Zealand Championships in the North Island in March. Winning by just over two points from runner-up and 2018 CP Wool New Zealand UK tour teammate David Buick, Stratford was scoring his ninth win in the Waimate final, and his 65th win in 22 seasons of open-class shearing. Abraham was third, and a feature of the six-man final was the return to top competition of 2013 and 2014 winner, 2010 world and Golden Shears champion and Waipawa shearer Cam Ferguson, who was first to the finish, shearing the 16 sheep in 16 minutes, 38.63 seconds, and the only one of the six finalists to go under 17 minutes. There was also success for Wairarapa in the open novice final, with Masterton’s Ethan Pankhurst finishing first. Double world woolhandling champion Joel Henare won the spring shears’ open woolhandling title for a third time in a row. With Alexandra winner Pagan Karauria settling for third behind Henare and runner-up Cheri Peterson, Henare takes a one-point lead

in the South Island rounds of a world championships team selection series which ends at the Golden Shears in Masterton in March. Blade shearing champion Tony Dobbs reached a personal milestone when he won the New Zealand spring shears open blade shearing final. It was the Fairlie farmer’s 12th win in the final, spanning 35 years of the 51 years of the championships, as he chased the honour of having more wins in any grade than any other competitor at Waimate, most notably surpassing King Country legend Sir David Fagan’s 11 wins in open machine shearing between 1985 and 2012. “That was my goal,” Dobbs said. He also led New Zealand to another trans-Tasman blade shearing test match victory and now moves on to the next goal of retaining his place in the New Zealand team for the world championships in France next July. He is the favourite to claim one of the two positions, with three competitions remaining before the eight-round selection series ends at the Canterbury show next month. Runner-up in the 2017 world blades final in Invercargill, Dobbs has 58 points from a maximum 60 available in the current selection series to date and hot on the heels of his moccasins is Geraldine shearer Allan Oldfield, who is second-placed and out to emulate father Phil Oldfield, who was third in the 2017 world final. Allan Oldfield was runnerup in Saturday’s final, beaten by just 0.94pts, while third went to Australian team member Johnathon Dalla. Dobbs is, thus, taking nothing for granted, and, asked whether this season and the world championships could be his swansong, said: “It’s jumping the gun a bit. “I’ve got to get to France first.”

Hockey girls finish strong HOCKEY

Sport

Jake Beleski The Wairarapa under-15 hockey girls who contested a national championship tournament at Clareville last week finished their campaign on a high on Saturday. Clareville hosted 14 teams from across the country for the week, and Wairarapa finished 11th after coming out of a tough pool that featured Poverty Bay, Wanganui and Manawatu. Wairarapa finished third in the pool which put them into the bottom six section of the playoffs, and they beat Thames Valley 4-1 on Saturday in the playoff for 11th spot. The tournament was eventually won by Canterbury, who beat Wanganui 2-0 in Saturday’s final. Hockey Wairarapa executive officer Kelly Govan said it had been a fantastic week. “It’s been run really well, and the weather has been fantastic and played along – we’ve been very lucky. “The overall standard was really good and it’s good to see a lot of girls still involved in development hockey.” Wairarapa’s tournament

got off to a rough start last Monday as they were beaten 8-1 by Poverty Bay, and Tuesday was another tough match as they went down 10-0 to Wanganui. But they bounced back on Wednesday to beat Manawatu in a thrilling match, in which they led

3-0 at halftime but saw that lead cut to 3-2 by the final whistle. They were in winning form again on Thursday when they beat Hawke’s Bay 3-1 in their first bottom six match but went down 2-1 to North Otago on Friday.

That left them to play Thames Valley on Saturday, and they produced a dominant performance to lead 3-0 at halftime, before going on to win 4-1. Govan said the tournament was a chance for girls from different

regions to catch up with people they may have played against in the past. “It’s nice to see that lots of the girls know each other from last year when they perhaps played in under-13 tournaments. “The familiar faces are quite nice and it’s just a nice way for the kids to finish the season.” Charlize Baron was the top goal-scorer for Wairarapa across the whole week after scoring four in total, including two in Saturday’s final match. Macy Lyford and Amelia Percy score two goals apiece across the tournament. Wairarapa also had teams at the girls’ and boys’ premier under-15 tournaments last week, which are the top national tournaments in the age group. The girls travelled to Napier and finished 11th out of 15 teams, with Jemima Edwards scoring five goals across their six matches, including four in their final match against Southland. The boys finished 15th out of 16 at their tournament in Christchurch, with Ben Schwass finishing as their top goal-scorer after scoring four across the tournament.

Wai-Bush claim victory RUGBY

Wairarapa-Bush have one foot in the door to the Heartland Championship Lochore Cup middle four playoffs, with an outside chance of squeezing their way into the Meads Cup top four semifinals. They took on West Coast in Greymouth on Saturday and came away with an impressive 23-5 win to put themselves in sixth spot on the points table with 21 points, with one match left to play before the knockout phase. Wairarapa-Bush raced to a 13-0 lead through two penalties to first five-eighth Glen Walters and a try to wing Matt Henderson, before West Coast started to take control of territory and possession. A yellow card to Wairarapa-Bush fullback Inia Katia had them on the back foot for the last 10 minutes of the first half, and West Coast capitalised with a try from close range to openside flanker Kevin Curtis. That was as good as it got for the home team, however, as WairarapaBush added two further second half tries, to centre Robbie Anderson and replacement wing

Finn Yeats. It was a memorable occasion for Yeats, as he was on debut and played about 60 minutes after Henderson came off with a season-ending shoulder injury. Wairarapa-Bush assistant coach Deon van Deventer said the entire squad had performed really well. “I can’t think of anyone who had a bad game. “It was just a massive defensive effort from our guys.” Conceding points has been the main concern

we were actually going quite well in the scrum as well.” Van Deventer praised Yeats for a composed performance on debut, especially after he had entered the game much earlier than expected. Second five-eighth Mike Lealava’a was another standout in the backline, and he said the entire forward pack had stood up to the challenge. “Tipene Haira replaced Glen Walters and he dictated the game quite well too, with the territory and kicking to the corners.

for Wairarapa-Bush this season, but they showed they can defend for their lives when it really matters in a gutsy display against a much bigger side. It made sense for West Coast to target the set piece after WairarapaBush had struggled in that facet in recent weeks, but they struggled to get the ascendancy they were after. “They targeted out scrum, and they got a couple of penalties, but we never got pushed off the ball,” van Deventer said. “Late in the second half,

“It was a really good effort, but hard work.” A win against North Otago in Masterton this Saturday would, at worst, guarantee WairarapaBush a home Lochore Cup semifinal the following week, or could even see them move into fourth position, depending on a number of variables. For that to happen, Wairarapa-Bush would need to win with a bonus point, and hope King Country [26 points] are heavily beaten by Mid Canterbury. They would also need Horowhenua-Kapiti [23 points] to lose to frontrunners Wanganui. If Wairarapa-Bush and King Country are tied on points after next weekend, the first tie-breaker is listed as the head to head result between the two sides [they did not play each other this season], and then it comes down to points differential. As it stands at the moment, King Country’s points differential is 29 points better than Wairarapa-Bush’s.
