Kia kaha te reo Maori Emily Ireland

Keeping a language alive is a big task to put on the shoulders of young people. But that’s the goal of a group of students from Te Kura Kaupapa Māori O Wairarapa who are rolling out a special project for Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori (Māori Language Week) which began on Monday.

The group, who are members of the Eastide Wairua youth initiative, have arranged for 12 streets in Masterton East to have new Māori names, referring to signiﬁcant landmarks in Wairarapa. They have also made translated signs for public places like the netball courts, Te Awhina Cameron Community House, and McJorrow Park.

Student Iraia Matthews said their goals were to help people learn te reo Māori, to make more people interested in learning the language, and to make te reo more accessible for people of all races. “I think it’s getting more accessible as the years go by, but we really want to normalise it and make it so that everyone sees it every day.”

Fellow student Maioha Riwai-Couch said she considered herself and her peers pretty lucky to be able to speak te reo Māori. Students at her school are taught almost exclusively in te reo Māori. “I feel like the kids here – including me – need to realise it’s up to us to

Services supporting suicide prevention East Coast Rural Support Trust

The East Coast Rural Support Trust offers support to rural people in Wairarapa during difficult times. Help from the trust is independent, strictly confidential, free, and available. Rural people often face adversity and are challenged by a raft of factors; including on farm operations, health, personal concerns, business, employment, financial, and climatic challenges. Often it is a combination of things at once that can cause distress. The trust also assists rural people during and after extreme weather and other declared adverse events. The service is available to all those in the rural community including farmers, rural employers, horticulturists, forestry,

Supporting youth in times of need Anna Cardno Let’s face it, it’s not easy growing up these days. Our youth need a lot of support, and luckily, we do have some great services in Wairarapa to assist when help is needed. We are getting better at providing age-appropriate support too. Online, text, and phone services can be less threatening and more accessible for youth, and the new PIKI app is a

great example. PIKI supports young adults (18 to 25-year olds) towards better health and wellbeing through strengthened support services online, by phone, peer support navigators, and by talking face-to-face with therapists. See piki.org.nz. Exams are looming and stress is high – it is important for parents to recognise the anxiety that their student may be

feeling at this time of the year when the pressure is on. Each of our colleges have a school counsellor/ nurse that are available for students. They are trained to help youth cope with the high-pressure exam environment. If you notice your child is beginning to wear the strain of exams, feeling anxious, or showing signs of depression – do act.

Ask them if they are okay and oﬀer avenues to help. • There are lots of services and helplines listed here to choose from, or you can always see your GP or call Healthline on 0800 611 116 for free health advice. • Anna Cardno is the Wairarapa District Health Board communications manager.

Bin confused? Everyone else is Gianina Schwanecke Day one of Wairarapa’s new recycling wheelie bin regime got off to a bumpy start on Monday when it was discovered the wrong bins were delivered to addresses in Carterton. Residents across the

district received a bin labelled with a number 1, when bins labelled number 2 were meant to be delivered to the west side of the town. The mistake was only picked up on Monday morning during collection – as it was the week for number 2 bins to be put out.

As well as recycling wheelie bin confusion, many Carterton residents didn’t comply with glass bottle only crates. PHOTO/MARCUS ANSELM

A spokesperson for Carterton District Council said council was disappointed with the error made by the contractor. Contractors assured that all recycling wheelie bins with non-glass recyclables and all crates containing only glass were collected in Carterton. Affected households in the number 2 collection zone would be notified in writing by Earthcare Environmental and have their bins re-stickered. Next week on September 16, all recycling wheelie bins with non-glass recyclables and all crates containing only glass will be collected again. From September 23, households with a bin with a number two label will need to put this out, while their glass recycling crates will need to be put out on September 30. Those with a bin with a number 1 will need

to put glass crates out on September 23 and recycling wheelie bins out on September 30. “We encourage Carterton residents who are unsure of which week of the cycle they are on to put both their recycling wheelie and glass crates out, as only the relevant one for your collection zone will be collected,” operations manager Garry Baker said. The issue is believed to be limited to Carterton, though Masterton residents should check the number on their bins. If it’s labelled number 1 they will need to put out their crates containing glass this week, or if labelled number two their non-glass recyclables. All South Wairarapa customers are on the same collection cycle and need to put out their crates this week, and wheelie bins next week, on their usual collection day. The first bins in Greytown and parts of Masterton were picked up yesterday.

Youth keeping te reo Continued from page 1 keep te reo Māori alive. “No pressure,” she added. Eastside Wairua coordinator Cherie McNamara of Connecting Communities Wairarapa said there were 18 new te reo Māori signs which would be stealthily installed this week by “Māori ninjas”. She said the project was really special and hoped people would feel encouraged to learn te reo from it.

“There are a lot of barriers in ensuring children have access to learning the language,” she said. “I didn’t as a child, and I wish I had those opportunities. “I look back now and think, oh my gosh, I am Māori. “People look at you and expect you to speak it, and it’s sad that I don’t know how to. “I look at these guys and it warms my heart. “It’s beautiful listening to them and being taught

to the posters all the time, but suddenly, because I was using the phrases every day, it became second nature. Whaea Pip has been working at Te Kura Kaupapa Māori O Wairarapa for 12 years. The Eastside Wairua signs are temporary and will be placed under the English street name, but because they have been made with a sturdy material, they will not be taken down after Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori. “We want it to be normal for our community to see te reo Māori signs,” Cherie said. The Eastside Wairua group is supported by Connecting Communities Wairarapa.

Scooping the national awards Emily Ireland

A Dalefield couple have scooped this year’s national lavender awards, with all seven of their entered oils placing. Jan and Stuart Abernethy, who own and manage lavender business Lavender Abbey, won three gold awards and four silvers in the 2019 New Zealand Lavender Growers Association Supreme Oil Awards. They won gold for their 2019 and 2018 Lavandula x intermedia Grosso vintages, and another gold for their 2018 blend of the Grosso and Lavandula angustifolia Violet Intrigue. Another blend from 2019 won a silver award, and three other silvers were awarded to the 2019, 2019, and 2017 Violet Intrigue oils. Jan and Stuart bought the threehectare Dalefield property just over a decade ago – only a portion is dedicated to lavender growing. “It’s pretty amazing really when you think about it,” Jan said of the couple’s recent success. “We started with nothing really and now we have a thriving

three weekends, attracting people to Wairarapa from far and wide. But people will also know the couple from their frequent market appearances – their most recent stall was at the Carterton Daffodil Festival

GARDEN

YARN

WITH

Going Potty

MOON CALENDAR NEW MOON - August 30 FULL MOON - September 14

Container gardening has become very popular many for home gardens as sections have got smaller and life has become busier. Pots can also be more manageable for the elderly or those with back troubles because their “gardens” tend to be higher off the ground, can be lots of fun for kids to create and a wise idea for those who are renting - if they have to leave their house they can take their “portable garden” with them. We are fortunate now that plant growers have developed a wide range of trees and shrubs that are suitable for growing in containers. There are many dwarf fruit trees to choose from – pears, peaches, apples etc, citrus look fabulous in pots, smaller growing maples … the list goes on and on! Selecting the right container for your plants is important for looks, health and survival. Large plants in small containers dry out quickly and could become pot-bound, while a small plant in a large pot may look weird and have trouble regulating soil moisture. If the plant roots can’t reach the bottom of the pot, and the drainage holes are blocked, the extra moisture will collect at the bottom – creating a soggy smelly mess and potential root rot. When choosing your pot for your plant – or your plant for you pot – remember to check what the mature size will be, unless you plan on repotting as the plant grows, it pays to get it right first time.

WHAT SIZE POT?

It depends on the plant, and how deep the roots grow, but as a guide small ornamentals such as succulents need shallow soil (less than 15cm); annuals need around 30cm; perennials

There are loads of wonderfully fragrant, pre�y plants that are suitable for container growing such as Lavenders, Daphnes, & Boronias.

30-45cm, shrubs 45-60cm and small trees around 60-90cm. Edible plant mixes can be planted together, but they need space so they’re not competing for nutrients. Keep in mind that leafy vegies have different feeding requirements to fruiting plants, so would be a good idea to separate those. Shallow rooting crops such as herbs, lettuces, strawberries need a pot around 15-30cm, medium size edibles such as melons or capsicums 30-45cm, large edibles like tomatoes, potatoes & berry fruit 60cm and citrus

MOON PLANTING TIPS THIS WEEK

and dwarf fruit trees at least 90cm deep. Not only does the pot size matter, so does the shape. Round, square and rectangle pots with deep spaces (30 – 90cm) are good for flowering perennials, shrubs and small trees. Succulents can be grown in shallow bowls. Vase shaped are great for a mixture of annuals – the wide top gives you room for a range of different flowers. Urns that are wide at the bottom look good, but keep in mind that if you plant anything with deep roots it may be tough to remove the plant. Something easy to remove (such as annuals or

some perennials) may be a better option, unless you plan on keeping it in there. We have all sorts of options for container growing – from the simple plastic “PB” bags, plastic pots, light weight pots, carry bags with handles, potato pots and a beautiful range of ceramic pots – new styles come in regularly.

You must ensure your plants don’t dry out, especially over the warmer months (another bonus with pots is you can move them around to suit their needs). Give them a thorough watering a few times a week rather than a light sprinkling and products such as Saturaid and Daltons Mulch & Grow can be used to retain water. When feeding ensure the fertiliser is safe for containers – we recommend our exclusive ican Fast Food for a quick boost and ican Slow Food for a 24 month controlled release fertiliser.

Project tackles loneliness

Carterton

Emily Ireland A bold new bench could be the answer to loneliness in Wairarapa. The Happy to Chat bench will soon debut in Carterton, offering a space for people to sit and talk to others in the community. Leading the initiative is Lucy Adlam of Joy For Generations, whose vision is for all generations to feel connected and included. Joy For Generations plans, promotes, and provides intergenerational, age-inclusive initiatives, mostly in Wairarapa. The Happy to Chat bench was inspired by similar initiatives Lucy had seen on social media. “There was a story in the UK where a police officer had put a sign on a bench in town saying, sit here if you are happy to chat with someone,” she said. “People often went into the police station or supermarket just to chat to the teller because they were so lonely. “The officer noticed people would stop at this bench outside and sit and chat, and I thought, we could do that here.” Helping roll out the initiative are community groups Resilient Carterton, Ka Pai Carterton, Neighbourhood Support,

Wai Art, and Age Concern Wairarapa. The Carterton District Council had also been supportive, oﬀering up an old bench, at the corner of Holloway and High streets for the project, which is being renovated, Lucy said. “It’s cool because it is so easy in Wairarapa to get things up and running because everyone is so into

community development and connecting with each other – everyone is on board.” She said the bench would likely be painted in bright yellows and oranges to continue the colourful theme which was being trialled on Holloway St. “It will be bold, but not as colourful as the rest of the street.” Neighbourhood support

coordinator Sue Tennent said her time managing the Carterton post shop before it closed in 2011 taught her valuable lessons about loneliness in the community. “I was very aware there were many lonely people. “At ﬁrst, I couldn’t get a handle on why people would come in to pay one account one day and another one the next day.

“I said to staﬀ, why do people do that – it’s daft – should I point out that they can pay them all at once? “They said, oh no Sue, they come in for company. “That honestly had never occurred to me.” In her capacity as Neighbourhood Support coordinator, she said the Happy to Chat bench was a great idea. She was happy to roster the bench on occasion as well. “My job is about linking the community and this ﬁts so beautifully with that.” Helen Dew, of Resilient Carterton, said lots of people loved the idea. People had also suggested a Leave Me Be bench where people could sit and read uninterrupted. “Once this goes out, we’ll get a feel of what the community wants with the project.” The next town to join the project is likely to be Featherston, with strong interest already expressed by community groups there. Early discussions indicate the Featherston seat may be a mosaic bench created by YEBO Art Studio’s Zelda Bruce. “Hopefully other towns will also get on board.”

This is a postal vote, so make sure you post your forms by 8 October so they reach the electoral officer by midday 12 October or drop them off at the council during office hours.

Often the names of streets are set by housing developers. Māori entities like marae are not often in the position to name streets, but Hurunui-o-Rangi was given that opportunity with the papakainga houses. Te Ara Takapau is only the second full Māori name given to a street throughout New Zealand.

Your vote matters. Have your say in Carterton’s future.

Waiwaste Carterton celebrates 1st birthday! Waiwaste’s volunteers are celebrating their first year of operation which has seen the rescue of over 10 tonnes of surplus food from Carterton New World.

Celebrating te wiki o te Reo Māori At Carterton District Council, we value our relationship with our local marae Hurunui-o-Rangi. We are fortunate to have Iwi representatives at our council meetings and citizenship ceremonies. Our staff and elected members also receive guidance on tikanga and te reo Māori from Aunty Mihi Namana.

Our library staff have also recently added even more te reo signs which are bolder and brighter, so you can’t miss them. For us, te wiki o te Reo Māori is about celebrating New Zealand’s indigenous language, which we strive to embrace in our regular council operations. This is why the council is pleased to share a logo reflecting this, which we will be using from now on.

This equates to approximately 27,000 meals which, with the support of Carterton community organisations, has been provided to vulnerable people and families, helping them make ends meet.

community organisations including the Carterton Food Bank. If you are able to donate, please visit Te Kete Atawhai, located at Haumanu House, down the lane between Carters and the town clock.

Takapau reflects the name of a house that used to be near the marae. The name also ties to a place that some Ngāti Kahungunu people came from before coming to Wairarapa. The name also refers to the place our project manager came from. Takapau is in the southern Hawkes Bay.

This week also sees the launch of Waiwaste’s new initiative Te Kete Atawhai. Supported by Council and the Carterton Lions, the new food pantry is for the community to easily donate surplus fruit, vegetables, and nonperishable items at any time of the day.

Te Ara means the path, so Te Ara Takapau is the path of Takapau. Another path can be seen as the path the hapū of Takapau, Ngai Tahu (Tahumakakanui), Ngāti Hikarahui, Ngāti Kaiparuparu, Ngāti Pakuahi, Rangitataia and Ngai Taneroa took to come to the Carterton District. These are some of the hapū held by the Kupenga or the net of Hurunuio-Rangi.

Waiwaste volunteers will pass on the donated goods to local

On the ground at Holloway Street Since joining the council this year, I quickly learnt how important it was to Carterton residents and our council to live as sustainably as we can. One of the main projects I’ve been involved in is the introduction of the recycling wheelie bins. As someone who is personally a little bit resistant to change, I wasn’t sure how I felt about the new service. But once I got my head around the changes (glass in crates, all other recyclables in the recycling wheelie bin, and collection on alternating weeks), I realised

the change was worth it and I’ll finally have enough room for all my recycling. I’ve learnt meat trays aren’t recyclable even though I had been chucking them in with my recycling and I now know there are plastics which aren’t recyclable. It won’t take long to train up my kids on which recyclable items to put where, or to remember which week to put out my wheelie bin. But the best part about the recycling wheelie bins is how it has opened my eyes to the need to reduce the number of non-

recyclable items I use. So, if you see me at the shops, I promise you I’ll have my Carterton keep-cup for coffee and will no longer buy individually packaged snacks for my kids’ lunches. Elisa Vorster, Communications and Engagement Coordinator

Opinion

Trying new things After four years of living in Wairarapa, I went to King Street Artworks for the first time on the weekend. I was not disappointed. King Street Artworks in Masterton is an arts space which supports the mental health and wellbeing of the Wairarapa community. It has an open-door policy and anyone who is open to healing through art is welcome. As someone who has suffered from severe anxiety in the past, I am well aware of the calm that art can bring to the mind. Of course, when you have anxiety, the last thing you want to do is venture out of the house to try something new with people you don’t know. Please don’t let anything stop you from giving King Street Artworks a try. I walked in with a friend on Saturday, unsure of what to expect. Immediately, we were greeted warmly and given a tour of the studio. I’m more of a painter

Piece of mind

Emily Ireland than anything else, but my friend and I were both drawn to the clay. I flicked through a pottery book which featured some interesting cup designs. “I’ll do this one,” I said, pointing at what looked to be a simple design. Let me assure you, I severely underestimated how challenging it was to work with clay. Nothing was working. Comparing my clay “art” to what I was trying to do was like a looking at a before and after makeover. I repeatedly squished my clay back together, trying again and again to make a perfect cup shape. In the end, I settle on making a lopsided plate and little fairy-sized cups. Then my friend and I were taught how to use the potter’s wheel.

This was more my thing – I thought to myself. The end product would be smooth, symmetrical, aesthetic. “This looks much easier.” Nope. I reckon we spent more than an hour on that wheel, trying to make a little vase. And when I was finally happy with my little creation, I put it on a slab and covered it with a piece of plastic, only to squish part of it. I couldn’t help laughing to myself as I saw my squished vase, handcrafted lopsided plate and fairy-sized cups. It wasn’t perfect, but it was fun. The lesson I learned was that art doesn’t have to be perfect – and nor do you. Just keep trying, keep learning, and keep having fun.

It was disappointing to read a misinformed opinion piece in last week’s Wairarapa Midweek relating to the diabetic diet patient meals provided at Wairarapa Hospital. Wairarapa District Health Board (DHB) is committed to better health across our community and quality service for patients in our care, which is why we’d like to take the time to respond. Our local team works alongside dieticians to build evidence-based menus to ensure our patients receive healthy meals. We do this because we know that good nutritional care is crucial for recovery. For our diabetic patients, the latest research suggests a healthy, nutritional menu with consistent amounts of carbohydrate at regular mealtimes. This advice forms the basis for our menus. Our diet codes have been developed by New Zealand registered dieticians. They follow the ‘Nutrition Standards and Diet Specifications’ that are adopted by Dieticians New Zealand for clinical practice. The diabetes meal

plan used by the hospital provides food that optimises blood glucose and lipid levels in patients with diabetes. The menu is portion controlled and set amounts of carbohydrates are offered at each mealtime – compared to at home where someone can eat any portion they choose. The menu is set to offer a range of foods and nutrients, ensuring it is balanced. Baking and dessert options are included, and they are offered with other foods and nutrients, which serve to reduce the peak of blood sugars. With regard to the specific foods mentioned in the article: the ice cream does contain some sugar. This is deliberately limited to a 100g serve to provide an appropriate amount of calories, protein and calcium. Our fruit salad selection is served in natural juice or a light syrup as a source of vitamins, minerals and fibre. Each portion is weighed out at 80g. Baked items are restricted to approximately 50g portions. Dessert portions are controlled, 50g for the triple chocolate brownie

and 80g for apple and cinnamon crumble. A final step in the process is the quality control our meal trays are subject to, prior to being delivered to patients. We do agree that fish and chips are better with a crunch. However, we won’t be taking up the author’s suggestion of leaving our patients’ food uncovered in a hospital environment. We could take fish and chips off the menu but, as it’s a favourite meal according to our patients, that would not be a popular decision. Our dieticians are highly qualified and genuinely great people with the best interests of our patients at heart. We are very proud to work alongside them. Mr Burnard has not made a complaint to the hospital, which is disappointing. We invite all our patients to provide feedback and we are very clear that we read it all and act on what is necessary to improve our service. We welcome all feedback by email to quality@ wairarapa.dhb.org.nz. Anna Cardno Wairarapa DHB communications manager

Extra

Beverley Jack This week at the Wairarapa Community Centre we are excited to be able to tell you about our latest project which complements our Community Kitchen project and takes it a step further. The art of home cooking, like food gardening, is quickly slipping through our grasp. We frequently hear from people who have limited cooking skills and feel unsure about cooking basic, nutritious, and economical meals. Our vision is a community where everyone can cook such meals for the family to share. Much more than nutrition, home cooking celebrates culture, history, and community. In conjunction with Wairarapa REAP, we are oﬀering free, four weekly programmes for individuals and families living on a limited budget who would like the opportunity to extend their cooking knowledge by cooking fresh, seasonal, nutritious, aﬀordable and delicious meals, in a hands on, fun, environment. Dietary, cultural, and spiritual needs can be catered for. With one four-hour session each week, mentors will work with participants to pool knowledge and tips,

Cooking classes will be held at the Wairarapa Community Centre. PHOTO/SUPPLIED

and learn: how to prepare a weekly menu; how to shop using a shopping guide; how to store food correctly; base menus around food which is in season; tips on substituting ingredients to reduce costs and use what is available; making the most of leftovers and reducing waste; and how to increase skills and selfsufficiency. Participants learn how to cook dinner meals that are flexible and suitable for one person or a whole family. We start with a base recipe, learn how to change it to make different dishes. Included in the course is a trip to the supermarket to use new skills. Participants are expected to attend all four sessions when registering.

Classes are held in the commercial kitchen at the Wairarapa Community Centre, 41 Perry Street, Masterton. Each class has limited spaces. We are now taking names of anyone interested in attending the next programme which will be held each Thursday on October 17, 24, 31, and November 7, commencing 9am. • Anyone interested, please contact the Wairarapa Community Centre on 377 1022 for more information. Already there has been a lot of interest in these classes, so get in fast. • Beverley Jack is the Wairarapa Community Centre manager.

M80 Globular Cluster in constellation Scorpius.

PHOTO/GETTY IMAGES

Night sky powerhouse Let’s look at Norma. No, we are not going to invade some female’s privacy. Norma, Latin for a level or set square, is a very undistinguished constellation squashed between the brilliance of Scorpius and Centaurus. So, why are we paying any attention to this collection of dim stars? Well, one of them is not so dim in reality. If we know anything about stars in general, we tend to underrate our own one. Let’s face it, the sun is a powerhouse. From 150 million kilometres away, it can frazzle your skin if you stay in it too long or have not built up your tanning prior to midsummer. Yet, Earth, at 150 million kilometres from the sun, is just a speck occupying a two billionth of the sun’s sky – just as Mars is a dot in our sky. That means the sun is sending out two billion times more energy in heat and light than hits our speck of Earth. But in the universe of stardom, our sun is a tiddler, which is why we are looking at Norma.

Sky Watch

Nick Sault You’ll need a dark sky to see the star µ (Greek letter mu) Normae, even though it is 300 thousand times as bright as our sun. It is “only” about 30 times as massive as the sun, but the reason for its incredible radiation is that its surface temperature is 280,000C compared with just 57,000C for the sun. Stars that hot are usually short-lived – lasting millions of years rather than the billions of our sun; µ Normae is only 4.7 million years old and probably has had half its life. Okay, let’s find Norma. At 7.30pm from Sunday (so as to avoid the moon), the Scorpion’s tail is directly overhead, and can’t be missed. Looking towards the south-west you will see the bright pair of Centaurus and the Southern Cross below. Go back to the Centaurus pair and Norma is exactly halfway between Centaurus and the Scorpion’s tail.

The main stars of Norma form a not very bright kite shape. I am not sure how 18th century French astronomer Nicolas-Louis de Lacaille saw a square, but we’ll let that go. He named a few instruments in this region – for instance a telescope and a sextant. None of them look anything like their names suggest, unlike that scorpion’s tail; µ Normae is almost touching that tail, and I should have though they would have classified it as part of Scorpius. It doesn’t take part in the set square at all. But that’s constellations for you. Apart from great constellations like Scorpius, Taurus, Orion and even Southern Cross, most look nothing like they should. Next week: Naked eye globular clusters

Now in its seventh year, this is a one-day event that attracts up to 200 people, held at the Carterton Events Centre. The team, who are members of the South Wairarapa Biodiversity Group and Mangatarere Restoration Society, get together each October to discuss the theme of the following year’s event and secure a range of speakers from around New Zealand who practice sustainable farming and land use. Led by Heather Atkinson, the team organises sponsorship, funding, promotion, catering, speaker hospitality and logistics for the day, to name a few of the tasks for this event. It is informative events like this that bring fresh ideas into the minds of people to make the changes that are needed for our future. This is about recognising that we need to look after our planet for humanity’s future prosperity, health, and happiness. The Farming for the Future Team are looking for a publicity person to join them, with an interest in sustainability

Birth to Earth In recognition of people, In recognition of Mother Earth Toi Tangata, Toi Whenua 21 September 2019 - Placenta/Whenua Garden, Henley Lake Each year in September, a Birth to Earth event is held for families who wish to bury their placenta in the Henley Lake Whenua Garden. Masterton District Council, with Recreational Services and Henley Lake Trust, invite you to the annual placenta/whenua burial at Henley Lake Whenua Garden. To register for the event please email your name and contact details with subject BIRTHTOEARTH to: baileyp@mstn.govt.nz or text 027 587 3939.

Significance of Birth to Earth A placenta is called the Tree of Life because it resembles a tree and is often associated with motherhood. It is common tradition in the Māori culture to bury the whenua (placenta) and pito (umbilical cord) of newborn babies in a significant place. Some believe that returning the placenta back to earth nurtures the child’s bond with the land.

ATTENTION DOG WALKERS: TAKE THE LEAD! It’s August and that means nesting season for our birdlife at Henley Lake. If you’re out walking Ruby or Rufus, please make sure they’re on a lead in the designated on-lead areas (highlighted below) for the next few months (until the end of November). We’ll be out and about at Henley Lake touching base with dog walkers making sure the on-lead areas are clear. But don’t worry! There is still plenty of room for pups to roam free in other areas of Henley Lake. C OLO

FREE PICK-UP, an added incentive to give your mower a professional servicing For the rest of this month, Langlands Honda Greytown is offering free pick-up and delivery in the Greytown area for professional servicing of lawn mowers and ride-ons. With spring arrived, now is a good time to give your lawn mower or ride-on mower a professional service. This needs to be done on a regular basis in order to nip any problems in the bud, catching minor issues before they become major issues, saving you time and money. In between professional servicing, there are a few things you can

do yourself to extend the life of your machine and keep it running smoothly for trouble-free mowing.  Check the oil and give it a top up if needed  Clean under the deck where grass builds up and inhibits the flow of air  Check the oil filter and spark plug

Stitch by stitch The Wesley Wing at Aratoi Wairarapa Museum of Art and History will be filled with all sorts of embroidery pieces this month, with the launch of a new exhibition. The Wairarapa Embroiderer’s Guild, in its 38th year, has 25 members, all of whom will be displaying their finished works from the past two years. Guild president Jenny Cox said the exhibition would be open daily from 10am until 4pm from September 14-29. The exhibition would

second year as president. “I absolutely love it,” she said. “It’s a great, relaxing pastime – you can learn what you like or continue learning what you like.” The guild meets four days a month: the first and third Tuesday from 10.30am until 3pm, the second Saturday at the same time for their official meeting, and the fourth Saturday of each month where they learn new skills. The guild meets at the Ranfurly Club in Masterton.

PINEHAVEN KEEPS GREYTOWN’S FRUIT GROWING TRADITION ALIVE

OUT & ABOUT IN

GREYTOWN

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.

SPRING INTO SOME LINGERIE COLOUR THERAPY Shalari has an exciting range of lingerie in store at the moment, ready for spring and summer. Owner Tina Dunlop likes to compare lingerie to jewellery - “You only wear jewellery you like. Similarly, you should get pleasure out of the lingerie you wear. It’s a practical item of wear but it’s also an opportunity to have a bit of fun, enjoy a bit of colour therapy, or go a little crazy in your colours.” Whatever a woman’s taste, she should have a very good relationship with the lingerie she wears, says Tina. “You should feel good about what you wear and enjoy the satisfaction of putting on something that you like, especially when we wear our lingerie every day!”

TRY A DELICIOUS TASTING EXPERIENCE Whether you want to stock up your pantry or buy a gift, visit Juno Olives for a delicious tasting experience. Their range of extra virgin olive oils, citrus and herb olive oils and table olives are simply divine. This year, Juno added three new flavoured oils to their range – Basil, Garlic and Chilli. Juno Olives is open Saturday and Sunday 10:30am – 4:30pm and every second Thursday and Friday until 5.30pm.

A SMALL YARD, BUT BUILDING IS BIG BUSINESS AT CRIGHTON ITM GREYTOWN Appearances can be deceiving. 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.

MINI EXCAVATOR IDEAL FOR HARD TO GET TO PLACES

NOURISHING MEAT MEALS AT GREYTOWN BUTCHERY

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.

Whether you feel like a traditional roast beef or chicken, casserole, stew or curry, you will find them all at Greytown Butchery. It sources all its lamb and beef from Palliser Ridge farm on the Wairarapa’s south coast with everything prepared on site. Greytown Butchery’s range of chicken includes free range and certified organic. It sells savoy ducks, whole, breast and leg, as well as duck fat for making crispy roast potatoes. Not to mention pheasants, quails and poussin. If you are getting home from work and don’t have much time to cook a meal, Greytown Butchery sells a big selection of award-winning sausages and pre-prepared meat dishes. All you have to do is put them in the oven or the frying pan, and in a few minutes they are good to go.

The Koru Trio, from Wellington, will provide the Greytown Music Group’s last concert for the year. Formed in 2011 by pianist Rachel Thomson, violinist Anne Loeser, and cellist Sally Isaac, their mission is to work their way through all the highlights of the rich piano trio repertoire. The concert begins with Dvorak’s Piano Trio in E Minor, known as the Dumky Trio. It has an unusual form of six movements, switching between slow and melancholy elegiac moments, and fast impassioned ones. The last work, Schubert’s Piano Trio in B Flat, is lively and buoyant. Written in the year before his death, perhaps he needed a light joyous composition to divert his attention away from his illness-filled life. Sandwiched between the trios will be Ravel’s Sonata for Violin and Cello, dedicated to Debussy, and full of striking dissonances, wild pizzicato, and rhythmic verve. All three musicians play for the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra and combine a busy playing schedule with other activities.

The Koru Trio will be performing in Greytown. PHOTO/SUPPLIED

RECYCLING WHEELIE BINS YOUR NEW SERVICE HAS STARTED The new cleaner, greener and smarter recycling service kicked off on Monday for urban households that pay for a kerbside recycling service. Important things to remember:

y All your recyclables go into your wheelie bin except glass. Use your existing recycling crates for all your glass instead. y Not everyone’s wheelie bins are picked up each week. Instead, houses have been allocated a “collection week” – numbered either 1 or 2. y If your bin has a number 1 on the sticker, you are collection week 1. y If your bin has a number 2 on the sticker, you are collection week 2. y This week, houses on collection week 2 are having wheelie bins collected. Glass crates at these houses will be collected the next week. y If you are allocated to collection week 1, put your glass crates out this week – your wheelie bin will be collected next week. y Collection will alternate each week between wheelie bin and glass crate pick up. y Unless you received a letter from Council, your recycling day stays the same. Any questions? Many are answered in your kerbside recycling handbook that came with your wheelie bin. This is also available online at www.wairecycle.co.nz

Hard work bears fruit Since then, growth of the facilities at the business have gone on unabated, including the expansion of the undercover shopping area so customers can shop all year round. Over time Laurie and Carol have bought adjacent properties, allowing them the space to grow more of their own trees and shrubs. “This allows us to cut out the middle man and sell to customers at a competitive price and be assured of a good quality product,” says Laurie. Part of GardenBarn’s growing success is Laurie’s secret potting mix which he used to mix using a hand-held rotary hoe but now achieves with a rotary hoe attached to a tractor. Laurie is particularly proud of the range of landscaping, hedging and shelter plants that GardenBarn now grows and sells, often at less than $10 a plant. Laurie and Carol continue to look for new ways to improve GardenBarn - adding new business systems, providing

on-going sta˜ training, and joining the Garden Independent Network in 2016. “This has been great for learning what other retailers are doing and how to run our business better.” Even now, there are new developments going on, with the original growing house just demolished to make way for more carparks, and a paved driveway and exit. “This is going to make it a lot easier for people to ÿ nd a park, especially in spring.” Laurie is especially grateful to Master Roads who years ago recommended making the entrance to the shop wide enough for two-way tra˛ c. “They were able to see a future where we would become much busier, more than we could.” GardenBarn’s range of gardening products continues to expand as well, with the business now selling fair trade authentic one-o˜ pieces of hand-crafted rustic furniture sourced by Barry and Annette

Thousands of tomato plants are sown and grown on site for the upcoming tomato season.

Leadbeater of Barron Imports. Looking to the future, Laurie and Carol have one aim - “to keep on doing what we are doing, do it better, and keep growing. I’ve still got lots of ideas for the future. “We are continually asked by customers when are we going to open a café. “One option to explore could be leasing part of the premises for a café or co˜ ee cart. Laurie is

Master Roads had the good sense to recommend widening the driveway for the future, which Laurie is very grateful for.

very positive about the future of GardenBarn. “This industry is huge. I’m conÿ dent for New Zealand and Wairarapa in general. There has been a big increase in vege growing and people are realising that a good garden improves the value of their property. Ultimately, Laurie says, the success of GardenBarn comes down to the support it has received during the past 20 years from loyal customers.

“We are really thankful for their business. We could not exist without them. We are also hugely indebted to our previous and current sta˜ who have helped to make GardenBarn the success that it is today.” Laurie is conÿ dent that the current team of GardenBarn have got what it takes to continue giving good service to their customers, and paving the way for the next generation coming along.

Kia Kia Kaha Te Reo M˜ori!

Strength for an endangered language comes from its status, people being aware of how to support revitalisation, people acquiring and using it and from the language having the right words and terms to be used well for any purpose.

This week is Maori Language Week and the chosen theme for 2019 is again “Kia Kaha te Reo M˜ori.”

TE WIKI O TE REO M˜ORI

“Kia Kaha” is well understood in New Zealand English with its meaning of “be strong”. We often talk about languages as if they are people – talking about language health, strength and revitalisation. So when we say “Kia Kaha te Reo M˜ori” we’re saying - “Let’s make the M˜ori language strong.”

Every New Zealander can help strengthen our language. We’re hoping that more organisations, companies and community groups than ever will plan to take part in M˜ori Language Week 2019. Kia Kaha! Source: www.tewikiotereomaori.co.nz

UCOL brings Te Reo programme to Masterton At the beginning of this year UCOL o° ered a new Te Reo M˜ori programme at its campus in Masterton to meet the growing demand from people wanting to learn the language. Te P˛kaitahi Reo (Reo Rua) (Te Kaupae 4) (or the NZ Certiÿ cate in Te Reo M˜ori Level 4) is designed to extend learners’ knowledge of Te Reo to an advanced intermediate-level, and is taught bilingually. UCOL introduced the new programme after the success of its free Adult and Community Education (ACE) Te Reo courses, which have attracted students

from a variety of backgrounds. UCOL Head of School of Education, Dr Bridget Percy says the free ACE Te Reo programmes have been very successful, and created a groundswell of people thirsty to learn the language. “This programme is the next step in the pathway for people who want to enhance and develop their use of Te Reo.” UCOL continues to o° er its free Te Reo Mõri for Beginners course which will be starting again in February next year. Te Reo Mõri for Beginners is a relaxed conversational style course that introduces students to basic Te Reo Mõri language. They learn greetings and farewells, numbers, asking and saying how you are, basic mihimihi, pronunciation and

rules of the Marae.

UCOL also o° ers the Te Reo M˜ori Intermediate which starts again next April. This course is designed for people with some experience in Te Reo who are

Students learn about M˜ori customs and protocols, both traditional and contemporary, while developing basic conversational Te Reo M˜ori skills.

TE WIKI O TE REO M˜ ORI

Tikanga M˜or i is at the centre of learning for students at Kuranui The Kuranui College vision is to create an environment where each individual is nurtured, inspired and prepared to take their place in a changing world – E poipoi ana, e whakam˜haro ana, e whakarite ana i ° m° tau °konga k ia eke panuku ai r° tau ki ng° tauma ta o te ao hurihuri nei. Te Tiriti o Waitangi underpins all aspects of the college’s operations and M°or i culture is a unique and very important element of the school’s ethos. “M°or i parents have identiÿ ed their children’s desire for identity – their place in the world as M°or i, and we have taken steps to incorporate Tikanga M°or i into our college curriculums,” explained Fuller. Fuller also believes that a focus on working with the local community has added to student engagement across the board, and points to the South Wairarapa K°hui A ko community of learning as a key contributor. “K°hui A ko has a student-led and studentfocused approach. Whilst based in schools, it looks at involving the wider community to ensure young people experience real success. “As a whole community we now have a shared vision and shared priorities and this is helping to provide a solid foundation for our

students,” he said. This year the South Wairarapa K°hui A ko established the Kaitiaki Academy out of conversations that took place with students. “The kids told us that they wanted to normalise te reo M°or i, but you can’t normalise it unless you normalise tikanga,” explained South Wairarapa K°hui A ko Lead, and Kuranui College teacher Kathryn Homes. “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 of the Academy is to build students as leaders of the future and so by equipping them with the resources to do this, hopefully te reo M°or i will be strong and Wairarapatanga will thrive.” To enrol at Kuranui College call 06 304 9116 or email: o˝ ce@kuranui-college.school.nz.

AGE CONCERNS EVERYONE EXPO 2019 Age Concerns Everyone Expo 2019 has something for everyone It’s not just seniors who are being invited to the 2019 Age Concerns Everyone Expo this year, which sees a change of venue to the Carterton Events Centre. The Expo next Tuesday 17 September, celebrates the many ways people can enjoy life in Wairarapa and leads into International Day of Older Persons on October 1. As its name suggests, the Age Concerns Everyone Expo is targeted at all ages - families as well as individuals - reflecting the fact that seniors are an important part of all of our lives. There will be numerous exhibitors at the Carterton Events Centre with many of their products and services appropriate to all ages such as the free hearing tests, and meet & greets with local community groups and services. A highlight will be a large number of health exhibitors with a “Passport to Health” prize.

Throughout the day visitors will be able to enjoy refreshments at Elderberry Cafe, staffed by Age Concern volunteers. The cafe, along with a fundraising calendar decorated with delicious recipes, will raise money to assist Age Concern Wairarapa help seniors in the community. Last year The Expo attracted over 700 visitors. The event is about enjoying life, says Age Concern Wairarapa Manager Linda McCarthy. “Age Concerns Everyone emphasises the positive aspects of growing older, providing people with useful information and contacts to enjoy life more.

“We hope they will come along with their children and grandchildren as the exhibitors are relevant to everyone.”

ENTRY IS FREE with visitors enjoying giveaways as well as a raffle. Age Concerns Everyone Expo 2019 OPENS AT 9.30AM and closes at 2pm.

“Today seniors are very active and involved in their community through volunteering, sports and leisure activities, and just generally involved in life.

AGE CONCERNS EVERYONE EXPO 2019 A new age of engagement and collaboration for Age Concern Wairarapa

“

We all have something to teach each other and this is recognised through the tuakana-teina learning relationships”

Times are changing, and so is the approach Age Concern Wairarapa wants take to connect with the community. “Things are changing and people are connecting in di˜ erent ways, says Age Concern Wairarapa Programme Co-ordinator Emily Clark, “so we are now taking a much more diverse approach to how we engage with the community.” Traditionally, Age Concern focused on connecting people through such things as morning teas, group trips and hosting events, Emilysays. “But not everyone is interested in doing that. Now we want to go out to people in the community to engage, meet older people in the workforce, grandparents who are carers for their grandchildren and just get out and about more.” Examples of this new philosophy

can be found in the spring edition of the newsletter of Age Concern Wairarapa. In June Accredited Visiting Service co-ordinator Fran Reardon, Elder Abuse Response Service co-ordinator Anne Murrell, and programme co-ordinator Emily

Numerous health exhibitors are attending the 2019 Age Concerns Everyone Expo, covering a range of health issues including heart, hearing, strokes, Alzheimers, mobility aid services, pharmacies, and natural health information.

The “Happy to Chat” benches have a simple sign placed on them which reads ‘Sit here if you don’t mind someone stopping to say hello’. For people who feel isolated in their daily lives, the benches are an opportunity to make a connection with someone new, says website mentalfloss.com

Wairarapa DHB, Capital Coast DHB, Enliven and St John will be attending as well.

“They also give people who want to help the lonely members of their community a way to do so.”

Enliven will be promoting services for older people, and people living with disabilities.

Several of the exhibitors will be providing on-the-spot health checks, making this a great opportunity to get all of these done at one time. Among then will be the Heart Foundation, which will have nurses offering free blood pressure checks.

“This is particularly important for people who find popular social venues like cafes too expensive.”

Everyone who visits the Age Concerns Everyone Expo will be given a “Health Passport” which will be stamped at the various health stalls and then go in the draw to win fabulous prizes.

For this project, Age Concern Wairarapa is working with Joy for Generations, Place Making Carterton, Ka Pai Carterton, Wai Art, Neighbourhood Support, Resilient Carterton and the Carterton District Council.

AGE CONCERNS EVERYONE EXPO 2019 Positive ageing strategy about to become reality Two years in the making, Wairarapa’s Positive Ageing Strategy will kick into action on Wednesday 18 September when Emily Clark starts her role as its Co-ordinator. Emily’s role will have her based in Carterton while working on behalf of all three Wairarapa councils to achieve the region-wide objective of meeting the well-being needs of Wairarapa’s ageing community.

Wairarapa. It is a great opportunity to plan effectively for the future.”

EMILY (LEFT) AND GERRY WITH A COPY OF THE WAIRARAPA POSITIVE AGEING STRATEGY

The strategy has been developed by the three Wairarapa councils to prepare for the region’s rapidly ageing community. The aim is to help older residents achieve positive outcomes through leading valued, connected and fulfilling lives.

Emily moved to Wairarapa from Wellington last year with her husband and daughter and is bringing a wealth of experience to the strategy team.

Emily’s role will have her focuss on the strategy’s six strategic goals, which were identified through extensive local research and consultation.

Her previous role as the programme co-ordinator for Age Concern has seen her organising health promotions, programme activities and events.

These are community support and health services, communication and engagement, transport, cultural diversity, housing, and places, spaces and activities.

“I have a genuine interest in the ageing population and I’m passionate about positive change,” Emily says.

“The process behind the strategy to date has been really well done and with great community engagement,” Emily says.

“I have already established meaningful relationships with various seniors and have a very real view of what the care is like in New Zealand and what we should be striving towards.

“This hasn’t been rushed and has provided many different forums for feedback and community contribution. I can’t wait to start putting the strategic goals into place.”

“The strategy is really exciting for

Funded with help from the Office

for Seniors, the strategy has as its guiding principles a desire to use positive images of older people as part of its “narrative”, along with seeking to “ensure equity and cultural diversity”. Community consultation for the strategy included an online survey, feedback from focus groups, a community workshop representing a range of organisations, consultation with iwi, workshops

with council staff and councillors, and public submissions on the final draft. The Strategy was officially launched in Carterton last month with Minister for Seniors Tracey Martin present and the region’s three mayors. Carterton District Council’s Community Development Coordinator Gerry Brooking says the steering group is really excited

to have Emily driving the strategy on behalf of the three councils. “We had a number of highly qualified candidates but Emily’s passion for this kaupapa and her experience already working in the older persons sector put her ahead of the others.” Emily will be based at the Carterton Events Centre alongside Gerry.

Milk fever is a metabolic condition that has the exact same signs as sleepy sickness, and many of the same causes. With milk fever it is calcium metabolism rather than energy that is challenged by having multiple foetuses. The two conditions often occur together, so we usually treat them together. Cattle will usually have milk fever after calving, but sheep are usually affected before lambing. Remember to check your down ewe to make sure she doesn’t have other problems – mastitis (udder infections), severe diarrhoea, or sore feet can be confused with metabolic disease. Keep a close eye on your lambing ewes, and talk to us if any of them are feeling down – we can help you get them back on their feet again.

We have been seeing a lot of “sleepy sickness” this lambing season. No, not the kind of sleepy sickness when you’re too tired to get up and make coffee in the morning (although there has been a bit of that!) Sleepy sickness, also known as “twin lamb disease”, is a metabolic condition that can affect ewes close to lambing. What happens is that more energy is required by the foetuses than the ewe’s liver can process. This is more likely when she has more lambs on board (more energy is required by two or three foetuses than by one), when she is old, when she is very fat or very thin, when she is on short grass, when she has sore feet, when she has had a recent change of feed, or when she stops eating for a period of time for any reason. Ewes should be on 4cm long grass for the whole month before they are due to lamb – take a ruler out to your pasture and if it’s not long enough then you need to give them supplementary feed. A ewe affected by sleepy sickness appears dopey and goes on to lie down and not be able to stand up again. If untreated, her lambs will soon die inside her. If caught early enough she can be treated and go on to lamb successfully.

Dear friends, The hihi (stitchbird) is a most curious bird indeed. Legend has it the hihi refused to fetch water for Maui after he had tamed the sun. An angry Maui grabbed the hihi and threw it away, not realising he had thrown it into the ﬁre. The bird’s black and yellow feathers are said to be a permanent reminder of its disobedience. It might also be why Māori have named the bird hihi, meaning ray of sunshine. Found only in New Zealand, the current population is fewer than 2000 birds. It is listed as nationally vulnerable, meaning it is at risk of being endangered or becoming extinct. This is possibly why it is not as well-known as some of our more threatened birds such as kiwi, kōkako, or kākā. Hihi were once common in the North Island, but predation by rats and introduced diseases have put pressure on the species. The good news is the overall population is now growing,

If you’ve been disqualified from driving or have received too many demerit points and lost your driver’s licence, you may be able to apply for a limited licence, which may be granted under certain circumstances and means you can only drive for specific reasons at specified times. You have to apply to the court for an order that authorises you to get a limited licence through the NZ Transport Agency by making a written application. You need to prove to the court that not being able to drive causes extreme hardship to yourself (not just inconvenience) or undue hardship to someone else (such as an employer or dependants). You will need to state why you need a limited licence, which particular vehicle you want to drive, and where and when you wish to drive. You’ll also need to swear

an affidavit and may also need to obtain these from other people explaining why you need a limited licence. Those people may also need to appear in court as well. An affidavit is a clearly set out document which is sworn on the bible or affirmed on oath, which can be used in court. Court fees will apply which can be up to $250. If a court order is granted, you can proceed to the next step. You will need to apply at the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) in Wairarapa, the AA Centre in Queen St, Masterton, using a NZTA DL15 Application Form, and pay their application fee – about $40. You must provide them with some proof of your identity and address. If NZTA then approves your application, they will issue you with a temporary limited licence to use while your photographic limited licence is processed and posted to you. Note that you must have both the limited licence and the court order with you whenever you drive. If you receive a further

disqualiﬁcation while holding a limited licence, it will be revoked . You don’t need a lawyer to apply for a limited licence but having a lawyer help you get together the required documents and present them to court, can make the process much easier for you. If you want to save money by doing it yourself, you can get help from the Community Law Centre where they can show you sample aﬃdavits. You need to realise that the court could deny your application or NZTA may not issue the licence and any fees paid won’t be refunded.

A guided walk of the Waiwaka Stream, led by Tony Garstang. PHOTO/EMILY IRELAND

Emily Ireland With everything from secret springs to hidden faultiness, a guided walk of the Waiwaka Stream on Sunday has plenty to offer participants. The walk, led by Masterton’s Tony Garstang starts at 10am on Sunday from 38 Cornwall St in Masterton, ending about two hours later. Participants will walk the length of the stream from its spring-fed start on the Masterton faultline to its confluence with the Makoura Stream in Garland’s Bush. The guided tour features history, eel facts, hydrology, botany and a few other surprises. The first private property

visited has the stream running through it. In the 1900s it was popular to damn streams and use them as swimming pools. Further along the walk, participants will see where the stream runs through Wairarapa College. Stories have been shared about how teachers at the college used to use water from the spring onsite to make beer. A massive 10 litres per second comes out of the spring. There’s more history to learn on the guided walk, including how the stream was used to make soft drink. Funnily enough, the same water for the soft drink factory was used as a

makeshift swimming pool one year to make more money. Several experts, ranging from a Department of Conservation botanist to a hydrogeologist, will accompany participants on the tour, leaving no questions unanswered. Spaces for the free walk are limited to 20 walkers. “Walkers are limited to no more than two legs,” Tony said. “Bring warm clothing, raincoat, stout footwear, a snack, and a drink.” • To register, email tonygarstang@xtra. co.nz or phone 06 3770032. • Leave vehicles at 38 Cornwall St and collect later.

Clocktower colour Carterton residents will soon have their say on the ﬁnal design of the Carterton clock tower. The iconic structure has been undergoing earthquake repairs since March this year. Once the strengthening work is complete, the tower will need to be repainted providing an opportunity for potential change. The Carterton District Council Policy and Strategy Committee decided to handover the decision to residents in July, with the council’s Place Making Advisory Group developing three colour options for the

Carterton community to vote on. The three design options are the status quo [white and grey], a colour scheme that embraces the 1960s architecture of the tower, and a multicolour scheme. All three options have the potential for exposed panels and lighting, though this would require external funding yet to be sourced. The colour scheme which receives the most votes will determine the design. There will be only one vote per ratepaying household in Carterton, with the oﬃcial voting token included in this

month’s edition of the Carterton Crier. The tokens will need to be dropped oﬀ at the Events Centre reception and placed in one of three boxes which corresponds to the design choice - voters will also need to ﬁll out their contact details on the token to eliminate duplicate votes. Voting will be open from September 14 until October 5. • More information can be found online at: cdc. govt.nz/have-your-say/ clock-tower-colourvote/

Pea growing update Only one more year to go and Wairarapa residents will again be able to grow peas – providing no more pea weevils are found in the region. Richard Kershaw of the Wairarapa Arable Group wants to thank all home gardeners, farmers and commercial growers for their help so far in eradicating the pea weevil by not growing peas themselves. The pea weevil was ﬁrst found in Wairarapa this time three years ago, prompting the Ministry of Primary Industries to ban the growing of peas while it went about eradicating any pea weevils in the region. In the 2016/2017 year, it found 1735 pea weevils, 15 in 2017/2018, and in 2018/2019 found none at all. If no pea weevils are found in the 2019/2020 year, then in the following year commercial farmers and home gardeners alike

will be allowed to grow peas again. “It was lucky that it was the Wairarapa where pea weevils were discovered,” Kershaw said. “The community here is very supportive, much more than they would have been in other places.” Assuming, no pea weevils are found in the next year, it will take a few years for Wairarapa’s 60 or so commercial pea growers to get going again, Kershaw said. Traditionally, Wairarapa’s pea crop, along with those in the South Island have been grown to be used as seed to supply growers in the rest of New Zealand and Australia. One of the issues is that the long-standing Wairarapa seed processing plant of Masterton Vegetable Seed Ltd, closed last December due to low volumes of seeds growing in the region and an increase in operating costs.

The pea growing ban may be lifted next year. PHOTO/ STOCK.ADOBE.COM

This means there is now nowhere local for peas to be dressed, Richard said. In future, they will need to be processed in the South Island despite the extra cost in freight. Along with the loss of the dressing service, the closing of the Masterton business also saw the loss of people with expertise. Starting a new plant would cost millions of dollars and while some companies have looked into the idea, no-one has indicated they are keen, Richard said. “What the ban did was to get us looking at other crops,” Kershaw said. “Going forward, we need to be ﬂexible and not locked into one crop. “We will still grow peas but are trying out other crops like maize grain, red clover and hemp. “The strength of the Wairarapa is its diversity. It can be used for lots of crops.”

Take the five points and move on. That’s the attitude of Farriers WairarapaBush coach Joe Harwood following their hardfought 37-31 win over King Country at Trust House Memorial Park on Saturday. The home side dominated long periods of the game and should have won by more than the six points, but taking their foot off the throat and making silly mistakes when King Country were down to 14 men, and 13 for a stage, almost cost Wai-Bush victory. The green and reds took an early lead when wing Tristan Flutey scored after 90 seconds following a couple of line breaks by first-five Tipene Haira and a blindside bust by fullback Inia Katia. Haira added a penalty and Flutey was in for his second five-pointer after 10 minutes. Katia carried the movement on, passing to flanker Johan van Vliet, who drew the last defender and sent Flutey on a 25m run to the tryline. King Country were next to score.

A series of attacking scrums led to big secondﬁve Brad Armstrong crashing over handy to the posts. Van Vliet was next to dot down when he latched on to a wayward King Country lineout throw, shrugged oﬀ three or four tackles, including a head high, to make the score 20-7 after 18 minutes. The visitors narrowed

the lead to six points, when No. 8 Chulainn Mabbett-Sowerby brushed oﬀ two soft tackles to stroll in under the posts. Wai-Bush showed their attacking prowess to score their bonus point try after 28 minutes. Blindside ﬂanker Sam Shaw got the forward momentum with a powerful surging run. Ueta Tufuga found the

gap and ran 20m to score and a 25-14 halftime lead. The home side should have put the game to bed, with three sin binnings on either side of halftime. King Country captain Carl Carmichael was first to go after a lineout skirmish just before the interval. Shortly after Carmichael’s return to the field, replacement

prop Charlie Henare was yellow carded for a dangerous tackle. Centre Alefosio Tapili joined Henare on the sideline for killing the ball in front of the posts. Wai-Bush could not make their advantage count, with silly mistakes such as poor lineout throws, wayward passes and knock-ons costing scoring opportunities.

The visitors, down to 13 men, lifted their game. Replacement wing Alex Thrupp used his power and pace to run 20m, with little room to work in, and score a superb try to narrow the score to 25-19. King Country, with still only 14 players, took the lead when lock Josh Balme scored from a 5m lineout drive. That was the spur that ignited Wai-Bush. A beautiful break down the touchline by Ueta Tufuga led to replacement flanker BJ Campbell scoring wideout after 66 minutes. Campbell was in for his second try five minutes later. A pinpoint cross kick from substitute first-five Tim Priest was superbly controlled by hooker Bruce KauikaPetersen, who in-passed to Campbell to score. Priest’s conversion made the score 37-26 with eight minutes to play. King Country gave themselves a chance to snatch the game at the death when they took advantage of a wayward kick by Priest for wing Tayne Tupaeato to score wide out.
