No closure after abuse Mike Ledingham joins his two brothers to tell story of abuse by Catholic priest Emily Ireland On the surface, the Ledinghams were a great example of a New Zealand Catholic family. But in secret, three boys in the family were abused by the same paedophile priest as children, causing irreparable damage to them which continues to have an impact on their lives today. Mike Ledingham, who until recently lived in Featherston, has returned to Wairarapa to launch an autobiographical account of the abuse in a book called The Catholic Boys. The launch will take place on Sunday at 1.30pm at Messines Bookshop in Featherston. Mike, who grew up in Auckland, attended Te Papapa Primary School and later Onehunga Convent. The abuse took place at the latter by Father Francis Green who died in 1990. “[The abuse] happened to me when I was 7 or 8 and I’m 69 now, so it’s been 60 years adrift with all of this going on in my head,” Mike said. “It’s taken a long time. I’ve been writing the book for 25 years.” Mike Ledingham will have a Featherston book launch of, The Catholic Boys. PHOTO/EMILY IRELAND

In 2002, Mike and his brothers Gerard and Chris went public with their account of Green’s child molestation, and the Catholic Church made a ﬁnancial settlement with them in the early 2000s. The brothers had wanted to take action earlier, but with an unwell mother who was a devout Catholic, they decided against coming forward until after she had passed away. “She had been brought up a Catholic all her life, and we couldn’t take that from her,” Mike said. He said the abuse had made him “pretty messed up”, causing him to spend the ﬁrst 20 years of his life “running and getting into trouble”. “You don’t feel good about yourself, you know.” Mike’s academic performance dropped when the abuse occurred, and he left school at a young age. “I still believe the church is culpable,” he said. “They were entrusted with our education, and they betrayed that trust.” Mike served in the New Zealand Army from the age of 20 to 35 which he said was “good” for him. Documenting the abuse and bringing the Catholic Church to account has also been somewhat therapeutic for Mike. But he said there would never be Continued on page 4

Search continues for tramper Eli Hill

A chocolate wrapper and boot prints believed to be from missing tramper Darren Myers gave searchers a new direction for their efforts this week in the Tararua Range. At time of print, Myers, 49, had been missing for 10 days after the Wellingtonbased Briton failed to complete the Tararua’s Northern Circuit on June 1. The chocolate wrapper was found 600 vertical metres below Arete Bivouac where Darren was last known to be. Search coordinator Sergeant Tony Matheson said on Saturday a search team found a chocolate bar wrapper wedged in rocks in the headwaters of Arete Stream. “We know he had this brand of chocolate bar with him. “The wrapper is in very

good condition and has an expiry date of 2020 so we are hopeful it belonged to him.” Matheson said severe wind conditions in the park could have played a part in how the wrapper arrived in the Arete Stream. Also on Saturday, a second search team located a series of boot prints in mud on the route near the Arete Bivouac. Matheson said the boot prints were infrequent and indicated a single person travelling on the Northern Crossing route prior to the recent snow fall. “Due to the age of the boot prints there is no pattern to assist with identification, but we suspect they belong to Darren and date back to the day he left Arete Bivouac.” Incident controller Senior Constable Peter Cunningham said the

searchers were satisfied the wrapper was a “significant clue”. “We’re trying to rethink our plan. We were looking in one direction, but now we have to turn around and look at different scenarios. “The helicopter is

deploying two teams north into the Mangahao catchment. “Teams have been searching in the Arete Stream … as far as they can, but they have been hampered … by weather and terrain which has been

very steep in there.” Cunningham said the find had made searchers start to look slightly north of their initial search area, but as has been the case throughout the operation, the weather was making things difficult.

“Progress is slow ... We haven’t found anything of interest today [Monday] which is frustrating, and we had to wait until 3pm for our helicopter to be able to get in there.” There are currently five teams of three in the Tararuas searching, with each team being transported around the Tararuas by helicopter. Cunningham reinforced earlier messages for people to look out for any signs of Myers if they were walking through the park and to leave supplies in huts. “Any information is good information.” Cunningham said Myers’ family had been to the search and rescue headquarters at Hood Aerodrome and had been providing police with information about Myers’ tramping experience and habits.

FOR LIVING The spirit of “giving for living” is alive and well in Wairarapa, with a Masterton business donating $2600 to Hospice Wairarapa. In celebration of Tulloch Farm Machines’ 50th anniversary with German farm machinery supplier, Krone, the Mastertonbased company hosted a special dinner and open day event to commemorate the milestone. In early May, a dinner was held at Copthorne Solway with 150 guests in attendance. To end the evening, a charity auction was held for Hospice Wairarapa – this resulted in Tulloch Farm Machines fundraising $2600. John Tulloch, managing director of Tulloch Farm Machines, said the business was “privileged to support a cause that provides such an important service to our

members of community that are terminally ill and their families”. “It is something that affects everyone, and Hospice Wairarapa does a great job of providing support to many Wairarapa families during difficult times. “I feel they are unsung heroes and they don’t get a lot of funding so rely heavily on donations, we are privileged to be able to help when we can.” The big-ticket item was a Krone Go-Kart that was

sold to a client from the Bay of Plenty. Other items included clothing, Krone models, books and children’s toys. “Our guests, whom consisted of contractors, farmers, suppliers, dealers and overseas visitors, see the benefit in supporting causes like this and an auction always provides a bit of entertainment and friendly competition.” Meanwhile, it’s business as usual at Hospice Wairarapa, with patients enjoying the Te Kowhai day

programme each Thursday at the Renall St premises. Programme coordinator Kirsten Johnston said the programme helped give patients a “change of scenery”. “Volunteers make a nice morning tea for them, and then after the morning tea, there is an activity or entertainment. “We’ve had people come to entertain them with guitars, on piano, we’ve had speakers, birthday parties, belly dancing, chair yoga, and a quiz.

There are other ways to support Hospice Wairarapa including this year’s Win a Wairarapa Wedding raffle fundraiser. The fundraiser last happened two years ago, and the wedding was held at Brackenridge in Martinborough. This year, the owners of The Landing at Homebush have come on board as the venue donor. The wedding or vow

renewal will be held on October 12 and tickets for the raffle will close on July 5. The prize, valued at $20,000, will be drawn on July 6. Tickets are $50 each and can be requested on winawairarapawedding. weebly.com. Everything has been donated – a credit to Wairarapa businesses – so all the proceeds go back to Hospice. • This is the sixth in a 10-part Midweek series bringing awareness to the community about Hospice Wairarapa in an effort to increase support for the charity.

Michelle’s journey to womanhood not easy Emily Ireland The journey of selfexpression and claiming your identity is not an easy one. But for Michelle, of Masterton, who now identiﬁes as a woman, the journey has been worthwhile. Michelle, who does not want her last name published has had a few “false starts” on her transgender journey. Now embracing femininity “fulltime”, Michelle wished to share her story with the Midweek after facing harassment while shopping in Masterton. Generally, people are pretty accepting, even in a rural community, she said. Though, she admits her transition would have been “so much easier” in Wellington. “I always knew I wanted to be female. “Right from when I was young, I knew I was diﬀerent. “I used to get dressed up [in women’s clothing] at home and stand in front of the mirror. “At night, as a release, I used to walk around the block wearing them.

“Then I thought, I can’t handle this, so I started coming into town dressed up. “The ﬁrst time I did it, it was a rainy day and I had an umbrella which was almost like a shield. “I walked into Farmers, and the girls knew I was transgender, and they gave me a hug.” Michelle said she wished she had begun her identity journey sooner, and what prompted her to take her feelings seriously was a prostate cancer scare a few years ago. “They caught it early, but it made me think, well I’ve only got one life, I may as well become transgender. “Once you start the journey, it becomes a lot easier.” Michelle said she now feels “complete” and will be continuing her path to womanhood. After being harassed recently, and having a soft drink thrown at her on the street, Michelle said she only had one thing to say to Wairarapa people. “It’s my life. It’s who I am.” “Live your own life as you want to and don’t be prejudiced towards other people.”

Featherston writer Dame Joy Cowley has sold her precious black Mini Cooper because of deteriorating eyesight. Although many would consider giving up driving a hard decision, it was just something she planned around, Cowley said. The loss of sight started last year. She used to go to the shops and see lots of people she knew but suddenly she couldn’t recognise anyone. Her sight is now just below 30 per cent and she needs to travel to Wellington every ﬁve weeks to have an injection into the back of her eyes for macular degeneration – a condition which causes fuzzy or distorted vision.

It is the most common form of vision loss with one in seven people over the age of 60 people aﬀected in New Zealand. Each injection, which costs $450, allowed her to keep on with her life. Cowley, who cannot read a book anymore, said it appeared she had come full circle. She said she had signed a contract many years ago allowing the Blind Foundation to record her books and now she had to use audio books. “Now, I am at the other end — it’s giving and receiving.” She is planning her next novel, gardening, and looking after her husband, Terry Cole, who had suﬀered two strokes and needed 24-hour care.

Survivor’s abuse ‘just the tip of the iceberg’ Continued from page 1 closure for him or for other victims of sexual abuse. “I do feel a lot freer, but we’re just the tip of the iceberg sadly. “There are so many others”. He estimated that about 30 other boys could have been abused by Green. “When we went public in 2002, we were told we were liars – but all of a sudden, after we went public, a raft of other

victims came forward.” He said sexual abuse was “not something you willingly tell people about”. “You feel ashamed, dirty, as though there is something wrong with you. “I spent years not feeling too good about myself. “Trusting people was hard. “I always had to hold back, keep something for myself. “But for anyone who is struggling on their own, you need to talk

to someone.” Dr Murray Heasley, the spokesperson for the Network of Survivors of Abuse in Faith-based Institutions and Their Supporters, said The Catholic Boys was a work of “enormous courage”. “Few men have this courage to share such a nightmare,” he said. “Until [Catholic Church hierarchy] shift their focus from protection of predators to that of listening to survivors and

respecting their voices, the credibility of the Church and its priests, already in tatters, is likely to continue to decline in New Zealand society.” In February 2018, the New Zealand Government announced a Royal Commission would inquire into historical abuse in state care. In November, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced the Royal Commission would be expanded to include

the abuse of children in the care of faith-based institutions. The Catholic Boys was published by BMS Books.

Wairarapa Hospital has held workshops to spread “happiness in healthcare”. PHOTO/FILE

Happiness in healthcare Pam Graham Wairarapa District Health Board (DHB) has spent $160,000 to hold two series of workshops to assess its values and create a vision for future healthcare, and a third series on leadership will be held in September. The money has come from bequests for staff education and development. The cost includes the services of Tim Keogh of UK-based consultancy April Strategy, as well as resourcing costs, stationary, room hire, and survey hosting. “Tim likes to say that his mission is to spread happiness in healthcare,” DHB spokesperson Anna Cardno said. “We are seeing it happen, and it looks good.” “A happy, healthy workforce and work environment leads to improved quality care. “We are confident that patients and their whanau will soon be reaping the benefits of the investment we are making.” The DHB is seeking to co-design local healthcare that is more equitable and that better supports a well Wairarapa. In February, seven In Our Shoes workshops involved more than 600 staff and community

partners, and In Your Shoes listening workshops involved 45 patients and their whanau. Following the February workshops, April Strategy supported the DHB to distil people’s views. This month, 10 workshops were held for 400 staﬀ to look at feedback from the February sessions, and co-design resources and solutions going forward. In September there will be further workshops to focus on supporting excellent leadership. “This is a long-term programme that needs the sustained input of all staﬀ, not just our leaders, if we are to reach our aims as an organisation,” Cardno said. People were keen to share their story about how they found their healthcare in the In Your Shoes workshops and it provided a unique opportunity for the DHB to learn and grow from their experience, she said. “We have delved deeper into things that our team had highlighted as key priorities; namely to design and describe our values, to create a future vision for local healthcare, to explore values-driven workforce development and recruitment, and how to address bullying. “We have been working on a strategy that intends

to help make our health system in Wairarapa an even better place to work, and to be cared for.” The Wairarapa DHB acknowledges it has a financial deficit but Cardno said that did not mean it should ignore its commitment to staff and their wellbeing. “Our work with Tim Keogh has been achievable through this donated funding package, placing no additional stress on our tightly controlled budget.” The educational fund is not available for use other than for training and development. The DHB spokesperson said it was value for money as with more than 1600 contact involvements so far, that dollar value equates to less than $100 per person reached. “Feedback from staff has been excellent. “At the start of the work, we noted a level of negativity about the workplace and some cynicism – as can be expected with such a large workforce. “However, as we have grown through the Vision and Values work, we are seeing a significant improvement in the workplace and the benefits are already being enjoyed and reported by staff and patients.”

Colourful horizons for artists Emily Ireland It has been a huge week for King Street Artworks artists with the launch of their 22nd annual exhibition at Aratoi Museum of Art and History last Friday. Featuring more than 150 works, the art reflects the joy that happens daily at the one-of-a-kind public art space, located in Masterton but serving the region. It also reflects the diversity of the artists – people working in an incredible range of media and art forms – ceramics, paintings, drawings, printmaking, Toi Maori, fibre art, and installations. But it’s been an even more special week for King Street artists Karen Madoc and Millie Ogg who are also readying for a joint exhibition of their art at Heart of Arts in Carterton,

launching this Friday at 5.30pm. It has always been Karen’s dream to explore art seriously, but only since 2014 when she stopped working full time has she had the time. Nowadays, she’s exploring her art full time and has teamed up with fellow artist Millie. The two met at King Street Artworks in Masterton – a creative space supporting the mental health and wellbeing of the Wairarapa community. Millie said, with the help of tutors at King Street, she grew as an artist after getting sick a few years ago. “It was great for my recovery,” she said. Having her art exhibited has been a goal of Millie’s since she did a Certificate in Art and Creativity through

Masterton artists Millie Ogg and Karen Madoc.

The Learning Connection in 2016-2017. Her work is “pretty

bright and colourful”, but she has also started doing black and white artworks.

PHOTO/EMILY IRELAND

Similarly, Karen’s art is also very colourful. “My work is colourful

with a retro feel. Colour is my big passion.” Karen said after coming to King Street Artworks for the first time in November 2017, she “never left”. “Coming here let me explore my art full time. “From there, I’ve had exhibitions and sales, encouragement, tutoring, friendship, kindness, everything. She appreciated the support from King Street Artworks, ConArt, and Heart of Arts in Carterton where their exhibition will be for the next month. “We are lucky to live in a community like this.” King Street Artworks tutors also have an exhibition of their works which can be viewed at King Street Artworks.

Trust House photo policy prompts complaint Steve Rendle Trust House is defending its policy of taking a large number of photographs during quarterly visits to tenants’ homes, after one resident claimed the visits amounted to a violation of human rights. Anita Long, who has been a Trust House tenant

for nine years, said she raised concerns about the approach of one Trust House employee but when she visited to discuss the issue, she ended up talking with the same staff member. During an inspection late last year, a total of 72 photographs were taken of

her two-bedroom home, 56 inside the house. A more recent inspection, by a different staff member, brought the matter back to her. “A room has four walls, a ceiling and floor … why do they need to take so many?” Trust House chief

executive Allan Pollard said taking photographs as part of inspections was part of Community Housing Aotearoa [CHA] policy. CHA represents 90 community housing providers around the country, including Trust House. “The photographs are

Revolutionary hearing devices break the conventional way of supporting people with hearing loss in noisy environments

used to compare the condition of houses from one inspection to the next,” Pollard said. “They are to identify what is wear and tear and what is actual damage.” Long said the photographs also included shots of personal possessions, but Pollard

said photographs taken at Long’s house were no different to those taken at any Trust House property. • A support group for Trust House tenants is being proposed, with a meeting organised for Wednesday, June 19, 6-7pm, at Te Rangimarie Marae, Cole St, Masterton.

OPEN DAYS Monday 24th June and Thursday 27th June 2019

CARTERTON Shopping centres, restaurants, meetings, and family gettogethers — these situations can all be hard to navigate when you have hearing loss. We call it a complex listening environment. You call it “socialising”. Finally there are hearing devices that helps you hear what you want to hear, even in the most complex listening environments. They help you to participate in multiple conversations, not just the one in front of you. We’d like to tell you more about them. Join us at one of our open days on Monday 24th June and Thursday 27th June 2019 and we will show you new hearing aids that could make this all easier.

When bad premonitions strike Comment

Graeme Burnard During the night of Thursday May 30, I dreamt that I broke down on the Pahiatua Track and I couldn’t get a signal to call AA. On Friday May 31, I broke down on the Pahiatua Track and I couldn’t get a signal to call AA. True story! I was driving to Palmerston North for the weekend. Just as I was about to drive over the track my car lost power and rolled to a stop. The road was very busy, but I was able to pull off the road before I stopped completely. After a few tries at getting it started, I decided to ring AA but I couldn’t get a signal. After waiting a while, I managed to get the old girl started and I thought good, I will try and get to the top and then ring them. Everything was going well when, nek minnit, the car just stopped, on a bend just below the summit. A very kind motorist coming down the hill

stopped to offer help. I was so grateful to him because I was really in quite a state by then. He stopped the traffic coming down the hill so that everything that had built up behind me could get past and then he managed to stop the traffic both ways, so I could roll back down the hill and up onto a track on the side of the road, where I was safe. And I was able to get hold of AA. “Within the hour, even sooner,” I was told about the arrival time of the tow truck. After 90 minutes, I rang

again. “No more than 10 minutes,” I was assured, and sure enough 25 minutes later, a tow truck arrived, from Pahiatua. Not wanting to be towed back to Pahiatua, I was told by the very nice AA man that if I wanted to be towed to Palmerston North, I would have to get

permission from AA. “Does it make a difference if I am AA plus?,” I asked, and I found out that the extra few dollars I spend annually to upgrade to AA plus was worth it because within minutes we were off to the big city and my former lovely car and myself were delivered

to Honda Cars in Main Street, Palmerston North at 4.50pm where my car was declared officially dead. Quite frankly, without AA I don’t know what I would have done. I would not even consider driving without belonging to AA. It’s a great present for

your kids when they get their licence. I must also add that the service I received from Honda Cars, Main Street, Palmerston North was superb, considering it was 10 minutes prior to finishing for a long weekend. And now I have a lovely new car!

Well there is absolutely no reason why it should be! There are loads of plants that are perfect for adding colour & texture to brighten up the outdoors, and it’s the perfect time to plant them now. We have a beautiful range of Camellias & Rhododendrons in flower at the moment and another winter favourite are Hellebores. Hellebores : (Otherwise known as Winter Roses) put on a wonderful floral display during the dreary colder months. They are quick and easy to establish, suit our climate and can set seed well so you end up with babies around the plant at no extra cost to you!

Pictured are some of the Hellebores we have in stock, but there’s plenty more!

The next several days are the busiest time of this month, and growth will be prolific. Sow brassica seeds into soil you have previously warmed with cloches, and divide and replant rhubarb.

Most Hellebores prefer a spot with partial shade in summer but they like a bit of light in the winter (underneath deciduous trees is ideal). If you have soil that is prone to get waterlogged then dig in some gypsum. Although they are very hardy, they will perform better with a little extra care. Before planting in the garden dig in some sheep pellets or ican Real Blood & Bone (take care not to over do it as this can encourage massive leaf growth with poor flowers).

Talent in Wairarapa showcased

Julian Eldred won the over-14s category of Talent Wairarapa. PHOTOS/JASON IRELAND

The Carterton Events Centre wasn’t short of entertainment on Saturday, after playing host to the Watermart Talent Wairarapa final for the second year running. The talent competition, organised by Carterton Rotary, raises money for a funding pool which Wairarapa youth can apply to for all sorts of pursuits, like learning an instrument. The Carterton Events Centre comfortably seated the 250 people eager to check out the best talent Wairarapa had to offer. The performers on the night had all made it through the heats to earn their spot in the final. The competition was tough, with judges having to pick two winners from 16 contestants across two categories. Carterton’s own singer songwriter Julian Eldred took out the over 14s title with his original song “A Passing Moment”. Julian wrote the lyrics himself and performed to a backing track featuring orchestral instruments, which he produced with help from his 13-year-old

Meg Hunter won the under-14s category.

brother Leon. Even though it was his ﬁrst time entering Talent Wairarapa, 17-year-old Julian was no stranger to the Events Centre stage, after previously performing there with his band for the Smokefree Rockquest. “There’s deﬁnitely more anxiety performing to more people but once I’m on stage I’m pretty comfortable,” Julian said. He said the performance gave him the opportunity to really connect with everybody in the audience. Julian managed to edge out runner up Jerome Lopa to claim the $1000 prize, which he plans to use to buy more

equipment to help in his music making. The under 14s title went to Kuranui College student Meg Hunter, with the runner up spot going jointly to Max Cayless and the Waicol Yr 9 band. Earlier in the competition Meg had taken advice from the judges to try writing her own songs, playing her first original in the semifinal at Makoura College on May 25. She repeated that formula in the final and credits her passion for poems for making her songs work, along with accompanying herself on piano. Having found the whole experience motivating, she is looking forward to continuing to write and grow her new skill. She is thinking about recording an album next which she can use towards NCEA credits. There were also two people’s choice awards, which were awarded to the Waicol Yr 9 band and duo Meg and Jack – Megan Osmond and Jack Moser.

Talent Wairarapa judges made some difficult decisions on the night.

Recent working bees have created an artistic, functional space which will make gardening a pleasure, thanks to our incredible volunteers led by Anna Kingsley.

Clocktower Update We have been working around the clock the get our iconic clocktower fixed, but it’s not quite ready yet. When the frames were removed it was discovered that there was spalling in the concrete. This is where water had got into the reinforcing around the windows, oxidised and expanded causing some cracking and flaking of the concrete. This meant we needed to assess the rest of the clock tower as well as the visually identified damage and prepare a plan to remediate the concrete. Some issues with the power supply were also found and caused the town WiFi to drop out. We are working on replacing the power supply as soon as we can. Initially the contractor’s plan was to install the steel cross beams to reinforce the tower and then complete the ground works. With the delays it looks like the ground work will have to wait until spring.

National Council staff Simultaneous congratulate Storytime the Midweek

What a great morning we had over at our library and Carterton Events Centre for National Simultaneous Storytime! Kids got to hear a great story about Alpacas with Maracas at the same time as many other libraries around NZ and Australia who were reading the same story. We also had fun making alpaca masks to wear during the story. We even had a special visit from two real Alpacas named Merlin and Sepia who enjoyed getting a few extra pats.

You’ll need your library card number to log into the Chromebook.

At Matariki time the tohunga or priest would sleep on top of a hill looking for the Matariki stars. One such hill in the Carterton District is Hīnana which means to search.

Whether it’s mowing the lawns at our parks, replanting the flowers around town or replacing the disappearing doggy doo bins, our busy team does it all. One part of Carterton which has seen a lot of time and care being put into it is the Clareville Cemetery.

12 Wairarapa Midweek Opinion Wednesday, June 12, 2019 EDITORIAL

Opinion

Community fitness initiative warms up If anyone has met me and seen my car keys, they would have noticed the graveyard of gym memberships hanging on them. While living on the Gold Coast, I was at the gym quite often – the exercise helped with my concentration during my studies, and also boosted my self-confidence – feeling strong and capable is a great thing for anyone to feel. Unfortunately, launching into fulltime employment and a bitterly cold winter when I moved here was terrible encouragement in continuing this fitness journey, and nowadays, I’m ashamed to say that my exercise consists of walking to my car, walking from my car to work, and walking to the shops from work when I get lunch. For some people, using a gym membership could be unattainable. Perhaps it is too expensive, perhaps the classes you want to attend aren’t available at convenient hours, or

CUTIE OF THE WEEK

Piece of mind

Emily Ireland perhaps, like me, you’ve just got no stickability when it comes to fitness. But, ask any health professional, and they’ll tell you that keeping fit is as important as keeping good nutrition, and having good sleep habits. There are many ways you can keep fit, and most of them sound appealing when the weather is warmer. Fortunately for you, Katarina Te Tau, a mentor from Whaiora in Masterton, has started the Matariki Movement initiative, offering free community exercise sessions at gyms around Masterton for the start of winter. Monday’s session was Pack Training at The Hubb on King St, and tonight’s is B.A.T at Flex Fitness, Queen St at 6.15pm. Monday, June 17 is

BoxFit at Flex Fitness at 6.15pm, and Wednesday, June 19 is a functional fitness class at Optimus Fitness on Bentley St at 5.45pm. Monday, June 24 is Boxercise at the Wairarapa Boxing Academy on Dixon St at 7.30pm, and Wednesday, June 26 is HIIT at Flex Fitness at 5.15pm. Monday, July 1 is HIIT at Flex Fitness at 5.45pm, and Wednesday, July 3 is Zumba at the Trust House Recreation Centre on Dixon St at 5.30pm. So, if you’re like me, and exercise is in the too hard basket, perhaps one of these sessions will be up your alley. For all enquiries, contact Katarina on katarina@ whaiora.org.nz, or 027 459 0293. Let’s get warmed up this winter.

He checked the bells – good for another 100 years! Mayor John couldn’t come with us – prior engagement – but Greg Lang was with us.

Little life

I’m sure that Arthur the little hedgehog is deemed as a vicious killer by some people and maybe I should have run him over with my car, as hedgehogs are a non-native species.

But instead I saw a living creature, a little one at that. Not one but two humans decided to show compassion and empathy. That is something I still feel we want more humans to show, especially in this day and age. Compassion and empathy. All creatures created on this earth have a right to live and a right to compassion or a compassionate death for any non-native species. I would do the same thing again – Vive la Arthur mon ami!

Extinct huia This huia is safely cared for in the Aratoi collection, while this oil painting titled ‘1907’ by the Masterton artist Paul Gadsby is currently on view at the museum in Paul’s first solo exhibition ‘Takeaways’. “Extinction is the theme of this painting – 1907 was the last known sighting of huia in the Tararua ranges,” writes Paul Gadsby. The last confirmed sighting of a huia was on 28 December 1907. “It’s likely a few stragglers persisted into the 1920s, according to New Zealand Birds Online. “Huia were remarkable for their beauty. With their glossy green-black plumage, orange wattle, and distinctive striped tail feathers, they were elegant and fine. The beaks of

the male and female were differentiated. The male’s beak was short and strong, whereas the female’s beak was much longer and was slender and curved. “The huia’s very specific habitat requirements made it highly vulnerable to deforestation. It requires the kind of moist, ancient forest that was typical of Te-Tapere-nui-aWhatonga, of which Pukaha Mount Bruce is the final remnants, that once blanketed much of the northern Wairarapa and Tararua districts.”

Spending a year in space This week we can experience the weirdness of spherical geometry. That is, sometimes things don’t seem possible in the sky, until we really appreciate that this is not a flat world and living on a ball, we become aware that things are not mapped out in the sky as they would be on a flat map. For many months, the very obvious constellation of Orion, with his straight three-star belt, has been a feature of our evening sky. However, he is getting ever nearer to the west horizon soon after dark, setting about 75 minutes later than the sun. So, how come Orion rises before the sun the next morning? Did he run past the sun during the night when out of our sight? If you get a chance to view a dark sky an hour after sunset and then again an hour before sunrise the following day, you will see Orion at both ends of the sky. How come? The way it works is that as we move into mid-winter our nights get longer, because the southern part of the world is tilted away from the sun. This gives us pathetically short daytimes and long cold nights.

Astronaut twins Mark and Scott Kelly. Which one spent a year in space?

Sky Watch

Nick Sault However, in the latitudes nearer the equator, the winter daylight is not much shorter than in summer. In our winter, the sun runs much higher across the equatorial sky and so makes a bigger passage across the sky between horizons.

Orion sits above the Earth’s equator and though unseen in the daylight, runs across the full width of the sky from east to west, while the sun currently rises NE and sets NW, taking a shorter crossing of the sky. It starts crossing the sky later than Orion and

“races” it to the west, because the curvature of the Earth means it has a shorter route to its setting point. We are threedimensional beings, but thinking in 3D, especially curved 3D, can be wicked for our brains. It seems that space travel can also be wicked on the brain, and other parts. I was reading about the Kelly twins. Scott Kelly spent a year on the space station

and after he returned, the experts were able to determine the effects of weightlessness on him by comparing him to his earthbound twin, Mark. Scott lost muscle and bone mass, his eye shape changed affecting his vision and his upper body fluids swelled. There were unfelt but possibly worse effects, like changes in his genes and immune system. Anyone for Mars out there? Next week: Mars meets Mercury

MASTERTON MONTHLY WRAP MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR Kia ora koutou, and happy Matariki. It’s only been in recent years that we have begun to again celebrate Māori New Year and I’m pleased to see numerous events being held throughout our community. I encourage everyone to take part join us at the Masterton Library Thursday night (13th) to celebrate Matariki. Also this month the Masterton District Council will make a key decision on how we proceed the Town Centre Revamp. We know there is a lot of interest in this project. I’ve heard some of these concerns personally and I’m looking forward to discussing our options with Councillors later this month. Whatever is decided around the Council table we will keep you updated. Finally, I’ve highlighted before that wheelie bins are being rolled out (forgive the pun!) to all households that receive a kerbside recycling collection service. The bins will help us deliver a smarter, cleaner and greener recycling service and give households more capacity to recycle. For any initial questions, a list of FAQs is available on our website. We’ll have more detailed information available as the wheelie bins are delivered next month. Please enjoy the other updates from Council this month. As always, if there’s anything you want to know, just give us a call.

QE PARK REJUVENATION REACHES SECOND STAGE Work to improve Masterton’s iconic Queen Elizabeth Park has progressed onto the next step. Since February our contractors have been focusing on the southern side of the Lake of Remembrance in front of Coronation Hall. Work has included improving separation between pedestrians and cars, improving overall accessibility around the lake and enabling better connection throughout the park and surrounding areas. The second stage extends from Coronation Hall to the south/western corner of the lake. Formation of a lake promenade continues, with accessibility further improved by a new pedestrian bridge over the lake inlet channel. The full project is expected to be completed in December.

DO JUST ONE THING What one thing are you doing for the good of the environment? Last week on World Environment Day the three Wairarapa Councils launched the initiative to help the community look at new ways to improve its impact. One simple thing is checking what plastics go into your recycling bin as not all plastics can be recycled. You might have wondered what the number on the bottom of plastic containers means. Put simply, if it has a number one or two on the bottom its good to be recycled – that includes milk and soft drink bottles and ice cream containers. So, what’s your one thing. Share with us on Facebook (@MastertonDC). You can also take a look at our new recycling explainer video on our Facebook page.

JUNE 2019 SUNNY YELLOW THIS YEAR’S COLOUR Don’t forget, it’s time to give your pooches a change – dog registration tags are changing from green to yellow this year.

COUNCIL TO DECIDE NEXT STEPS ON TOWN CENTRE REVAMP

Fees are coming up for renewal and there’s still time to arrange a payment plan – give us a call on 06 370 6300 to discuss.

Masterton District Council will decide on the next steps for the Town Centre Revamp project later this month as final developed designs are received.

To avoid a 50 per cent penalty, registrations are due to be paid in full by 31st July.

Designers, Boffa Miskell, have been working closely with Council staff and the Town Centre Reference Group to refine designs for Park, Bruce and lower Queen Streets.

Dog registration fees fund the support our Animal Services Team provides the community, such as responding to call outs about wandering dogs, going into schools to help educate kids on dogs and our pound facilities for when we need to temporarily look after some of our canine friends. We also work closely with the SPCA to rehome dogs that may need new families. We’ve had some lovely pups rehomed in the last few weeks. There’s a section on our website “dogs available for rehoming”, so keep an eye out if you’re looking for a new family member.

The final designs in this phase (‘developed’ design) have been received and include an increase in parking in some areas, a reduction in parking in others, removing features that weren’t supported and modifying specific areas in collaboration with business owners. The Reference Group, which consists of community representatives, Council staff and elected members, is continuing to seek feedback from stakeholders. The feedback will then be shared with the full Council to help with its decision at its next meeting on June 26th. The discussion may include progressing on to the next design phase (detailed design) with just one project. Alternatively, Council could decide to progress more than one project through detailed design. All the designs can be downloaded from www.mastertontown.nz

MASTERTON STREAM WALKING TOURS The successful 2018 guided walk of the mysterious Waiwaka Stream will be repeated on 28 July at 10am, commencing from 38 Cornwall Street, Masterton. There will be history, eel facts, hydrology, botany and a few surprises. 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 Garlands Bush. Expected walking time 2.5 hours. Space is limited to 20 walkers. To register email tonygarstang@xtra.co.nz or phone 06 3770032

Volunteers join together A wonderful volunteer collaboration is happening at the West Taratahi Hall on Chester Road in Carterton. A community planting event is being held to kickstart the development of their native reserve. The first planting of 150 trees is being held this Sunday, June 16 from 1pm to 5pm. After the planting is completed, there will be food, hot drinks, and music. There are a number of reasons this event is so special. The first is because the trees that are being planted were gifted by the family of Ian Atkinson who died in December last year. The family decided that it was fitting that these trees which were gifted in Ian’s memory form the basis of this project. It is a fitting tribute for a man who was passionate about the environment and helping others. The second reason is because a number of community groups and people have come together to join Ian’s family to create this collaboration. They include the West Taratahi Hall Committee who look after the running of the hall, The South Wairarapa Biodiversity Group and Mangatarere

Masterton care and craft

Fun, laughter, and friendly chatter in a caring social atmosphere sums up the Masterton Care and Craft open Day morning held at the Senior Citizens Hall recently. Groups from the Wairarapa community were invited to a free morning tea with a new kind of social group which offers craft work, a sales table, and raffle – all with the opportunity of making friends. Although Masterton Care and Craft has been around for well over 20 years – it has been relatively hidden among other community groups, according to Care and Craft secretary Shaun Evans. However, after a small struggle to regain a foothold with a change of location, Masterton Care and Craft is now in the centre of town at the

Masterton care and Craft open day.

Senior Citizen Hall on Cole St. The open day began at 10am on May 24 and groups came in, first to

make a stop at the sales table which offered cheap baking, DVDs, books, crafts, puzzles and fruit, then to get a few tickets in

the bumper raffle, before sitting down with present members learning about their projects and seeing their final products.

At morning tea, a serving of crème jam pikelets was welcomed before some groups departed. “All in all, it was great to have this social open day see new faces come along and to hear their want to return,” Shaun said. “The Masterton Care and Craft would like to thank the following who supported the open day: the staff and good ladies from Aversham House, The Featherston Care and Craft, Noreen and Sonya Evans, and the Masterton Senior Citizens Club.” • If you would like further information or to visit the Masterton Care and Craft, contact supervisor Judy 3770995, or secretary Shaun 3775064. • Masterton Care and Craft is held every second Friday from 9.30am until 12.30pm.

Medical practices recruiting doctors Eli Hill

Wairarapa medical practices are recruiting doctors into the region in anticipation of a number of vacancies later this year. Tu Ora Compass Health Wairarapa director of primary care, Liz Stockley said that while there was

currently enough GPs in the region, practices were “hard out” recruiting to fill gaps expected later on in the year. “Other than the fact they have to be qualified to work in New Zealand, we don’t mind where they come from.

“We’re looking for GPs that fit into the communities they go into. “If we get someone who wants to deal with Maori patients, we’d be encouraging them to talk to Whaiora. “If they’re interested in rural people, then we’d

talk to a rural practice.” An advertisement calling for GPs in last week’s Sunday Star-Times focused on Wairarapa’s lifestyle opportunities such as its vineyards, gourmet food, sunshine and walking and cycling trails. Stockley said it was

important that the family that come with them fit with Wairarapa. Tu Ora Compass Health Wairarapa represents the six Wairarapa medical practices – Carterton, Featherston, Greytown, Martinborough, Masterton, and Whaiora.

The spider’s tuatara tell-all Dear friends, I don’t mean to scare you, but I do have eight legs (and they sometimes creep people out). You may call me pūngāwerewere – the spider – and the creator of the first carved whare in Aotearoa. Today, I am going to take you on a journey through the forests of old, back to the days of my ancestors. Nau mai haere mai as we go back more than 800 years into the past … Our story begins with a taniwha, a shapeshifting being of malevolent intentions, who burst forth from a cave deep underground. As he pushed his immense size upwards, his skin ripped on the rocks. He ravaged the villages of the Wairarapa, gobbling up man and child alike,

and tore down ngā whare wherever he went. Afterwards he took to the water and travelled along the river, tired, alone, and still very, very hungry. The people of the land were terrified of this ngānara huarau and gathered together their finest warriors to find him. They came across one of his footprints in the ground which was monstrous in size, and which dwarfed even the largest of warriors. They discovered he had a new lair near the village of Kōurarau and set a trap outside it. They brought out their bait – a kurī (dog) – then waited under the cover of darkness. The taniwha smelt the

in the warriors’ carefully lain trap. The great warrior, Tūpurupuru, then defeated the beast, and they watched it as it sank beneath the murky surface of a swamp. While the ngānara huarau is no more (or so you may think), he leaves behind a legacy that you can still see today – the tuatara. This reptile – unique to Aotearoa – was born of the very scales the taniwha lost when he left his cave. Although the tuatara once

Best results come from feeding a prescription diet and ensuring feeding your pet the correct amount. This often involves behavioural changes of the owner, not the pet. Often owners feel guilty about “depriving” their pets when they are controlling portions or withholding treats. Prescription diets are the most effective ways to lose weight. They are designed to be complete and balanced, so you know your pet will be getting enough to eat and the exact amount to feed to get the

results you want. Offering low calorie treats like raw carrots if your dog will eat them is a great alternative. Overfeeding is very easy to do and retraining your pet not to beg makes reaching the goal much easier. Begging is a pet’s conditioned response to receiving food and simply wanting more, not always associated with hunger. Reward your pet with attention, affection or playing instead. Exercise is also important and often is inadequate for your pet’s needs, with larger breeds like Labradors and German Shepherds needing 30-60 minutes active play daily and smaller breeds need at least 15-30 minutes. Reaching the ideal weight will ensure a much happier and more energetic pet. One of our vet nurses runs a free of charge Weight Loss Program for cats and dogs. Call Fleur at the clinic if you wish to discuss a weight loss plan for your pet.

The first step to helping podgy pooches and curvaceous cats is identifying their ideal weight and then customising a plan. An easy way to assess your pet’s weight include being able to feel the pet’s ribs easily without excess fat covering, being able to see and feel the pet’s waist clearly when viewed from above and your pet’s belly should be tucked up when viewed from the side. The best way to encourage weight loss is by reducing and/or changing their food.

Wills

CAB volunteers may witness an attorney’s signature on an EPA but cannot draft an EPA for a client and cannot witness a donor’s signature on an EPA. The standard forms are prescribed by law and can be downloaded from the Super Seniors website www.superseniors. msd.govt.nz where there is a lot of good information to read as well, but it is quite prolonged to locate the forms themselves – and lawyers do prefer you leave that side of it to them. Remember, we at CAB cannot witness a donor’s signature to an EPA. The donor’s witness must be: a lawyer with a practising certiﬁcate; an authorised oﬃcer of a trustee corporation (such as the Public Trust); or a registered legal executive with at least 12 months experience and employed by a lawyer. The person you make your attorney signs your EPA, and CAB

can witness that signature if need be. Don’t be put oﬀ – wills and EPAs are very important and now hospitals and rest homes may even demand EPAs be put in place if a person to be admitted does not have the capacity to make their own decisions about their own health care and their property. It’s easier on yourselves not to let it get to that stage before you go about your arrangements.

Every pet has an ideal weight but unfortunately almost 50% of animals coming into the clinic are overweight. This problem can be difficult to manage and is often overlooked, despite the wellknown health risks including diabetes mellitus, arthritis, cancer and respiratory and heart disease.

Things to appreciate and be Midweek Musings

Tim Nelson 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. Learning from feedback

It’s easy to discount feedback that you don’t like hearing as something to ignore, or to write it off as irrelevant. However, a better option is to look at what has been said objectively and also from the perspective of the person that you have received it from. Perhaps there is plenty of truth and accuracy in what you have been told. This has recently applied to me; I could easily ignore feedback that I have received, but instead I will take it on board because I can see how doing so will lead to positive change in a specific area. Sometimes the best learning experiences come from being told things that we don’t like hearing.

Gratitude in the tough times Today’s daily meditation

on the Calm App shared a message on gratitude, this being to look for things to appreciate and be grateful for when times are tough and you’re facing challenging situations. Doing this can shift your perspective, making you see through the challenges towards the many things that are good and positive in your life. This doesn’t in any way suggest that there aren’t things to be concerned and worried about, but it does help you to see that, even when we face difficulties, there are still many positive things in our lives.

Keep getting better

In his weekly column in the Dominion Post, writer Eugene Bingham wrote about people who are getting better with age or are at least setting goals and targets to work towards.

When life gets tough, look for things to appreciate.

Examples he uses are around running. Eugene shared the stories of runners who aren’t concerned about what others are doing, but instead are setting goals for themselves and working towards them. One example is that of former Olympic champion

Joan Benoit, who was the first winner of the women’s marathon when she ran in the 1984 Olympics. Joan Benoit will never achieve the same sort of result that she did in the Olympic final, but what she can do is continue to work hard to achieve different sorts of goals, with one

being running a marathon in under three hours – a fantastic achievement for a 62-year-old! For ourselves, goals and targets can be around anything, from learning how to cook, to learning about artificial intelligence. The important thing is to have something to focus

on and strive for, always ensuring that you enjoy the daily journey of getting there.

You don’t have to upgrade

On the Ground Up Show podcast, host Matt D’avella interviews Josh Janssen, host of his own podcast

The Daily Talk Show. A subject that the two discussed for some time was producing content using video and cameras. It was interesting to hear the discussion moving to getting better, and how, in the past, Josh had purchased new equipment to produce content of a higher quality. Josh makes the comparison to upskilling and getting better with the gear you currently have instead. Doing this will make you a more knowledgeable and skilful person, as you are counting on your own ability, as opposed to counting on the device, to do the work for you. On a similar theme, finance expert Ramit Sethi talks about his laptop on the Tim Ferriss Podcast. His laptop is seven years old, does everything he needs it to do, and meets his requirements perfectly. For both Josh and Ramit, although they use their equipment for quite different purposes, essentially the message is the same ... we don’t need to always look to upgrade what we own. Instead, we can make the most of what we already have, especially if it makes us better at what we do and meets our purpose.

What Next is a TVNZ programme that looks at where New Zealand is heading as a country in four key areas. The first episode investigated artificial intelligence and the possible impact it will have on our lives. Part of the episode looked at people upskilling and education. This section highlighted a woman named Hiria who had come from a life of real disadvantage. At the age of 20, Hiria had twin boys. Knowing that things needed to be better for them than life had been for her, Hiria decided to look through the newspaper situation vacant advertisements to find the jobs that were paying the most; she found that a lot were in the field of IT. Hiria then set about applying for them. Unfortunately, despite her enthusiasm, she didn’t

have the knowledge, skills, or necessary qualifications and she didn’t win a position. Undeterred, Hiria set about learning all that she could using the resources that were available to her, studying what she knew she needed to know. Doing this gave Hiria the skills that she now needed and was able to get a job that was previously unattainable for her. Another message from the very good TVNZ programme What Next – this time around creativity. Unfortunately, I can’t recall who shared it (I forgot to write that down when I recorded the idea), but I think it was from Rocket Lab founder Peter Beck. The message was that when we have less to work with, we need to be more creative, making the most of and maximising our limited resources. Limited resources mean that we need to look at different ways of using

an item, looking beyond the obvious, towards the potential. It will also mean that we value more the limited resources that we have instead of taking them for granted.

Choose an area not to compromise on

This is an idea shared by Ramit Sethi on the Tim Ferriss Podcast. Ramit’s expertise is primarily based around finances. The idea of choosing an area not to compromise on is exactly as it is written, this being to choose one area that you will be prepared to spend more on, looking to have higher quality items. This area could be anything (within reason), such as having only the best types of organically produced food, handmade shoes, getting your haircut at a renowned stylist, choosing only branded sports gear, or being a member of an exclusive golf club; it could be anything. There are so many areas in which we compromise on price as we look for the best bargains around. However, we should be able to have the one area in which we have what we consider to be high quality without the compromise.

Club celebrate 120 years Last Friday, the oldest and longest serving members of the Ranfurly Club, Beryl Stuart and Flo Dalgliesh [pictured], combined to cut the cake celebrating 120 years of the club’s existence. The pair, with a combined membership of 100 years, joined around 90 members for lunch at the Masterton Club. The club is the longest running women’s club in New Zealand, starting in 1899 with 28 members. Although members came from all walks of life, it was started principally for rural women. Even today, rural women, who have retired to town with their husbands from local

farms, are members. As in the past, members belong because they enjoy a pleasant social occasion and a chance to meet their friends. Membership is currently at 120 with two distinct groups having formed – the lunch group and the evening group. The guest speaker for the event was author Susan Upton who ﬁrst published Women Together: a History of Women’s Organisations in New Zealand in 1993.

Probus celebrates 30 years Emma Brown It was smiles all around as Masterton Probus club celebrated its 30th anniversary on May 29. Called “a friendship club for retired and semi-retired people”, a cake was cut by three founding members to celebrate the achievement. Spearheaded by Rotarian Harry Tolley in 1989, the club has grown from 36 people at the ﬁrst meeting, to more than 200 today. Although the meeting venue has changed over the years, the day and format are still the same 30 years later. Because of it’s popularity, there are currently four Probus clubs running in the Wairarapa. During the ﬁrst meeting in September 1989, interest groups were formed to build greater friendships and provide opportunities to socialise. The ‘Weather Watchers’ group was surprisingly

Five of the original members of the Masterton Probus club, from left, Joan Wooler, Alex Neale, Barbara Anderson, Bill Hamilton and Ewen Cameron. PHOTO/EMMA BROWN

popular, after only Alex Neale listed meteorology as an interest. Original member Joan Wooler joked: “I said ‘Oh you won’t get a group because you’re the only one there’, and yet that was the most successful group.” After loving his work all his life, Neale wanted to share his passion with others and, through word of mouth, grew the group which still meets today. Neale, a founding member and first decade president, said it was the success and use of speakers from the group itself which made the club so successful. The initial idea was that because members had come together from different backgrounds, there was a need for members to introducing themselves. “People in the audience suddenly find that they have an interest in some of

the things this person spent their lives doing,” he said. “When you got them to talk about their lives it was fascinating.” Wooler came to Masterton from Wellington after retirement, thought it would be something new to do in the Wairarapa. “It’s a way of meeting people, it was so good. “[I enjoy] coming to the meetings and hearing good speakers and the amazing lives of some of them, and joining the interest groups, because it’s really important for the wider membership.” The speakers at the meetings are always something that is looked forward too with a history of a very diverse speakers. Ewen Cameron said it was the people they meet, speakers they have and places they get to go that makes Probus a great club to be a part of.

From their home base in Featherston, Tim and Baylee Beale are available to wash residential, rural and commercial properties throughout the Wairarapa. A family-run business, Tim and Baylee do all the washes themselves with customer satisfaction their first priority.

Tony grew up in Carterton and went on to become an engineer, working in the food processing, meat packaging and wine industries as well as vehicle mechanics.

They can prepare your house ready for a repaint, looking its best with a pre-sale makeover, or restore it to its former glory. Using a combination of biodegradable cleaning agents and low pressure for a “soft wash”, they can clean any type of cladding, eliminating the re-growth of moss, mould and lichen for up to 12 months and extending the life of the paint for up to 15 years.

“Because of my background I’m lucky enough to be able to turn my hand to lots of things – fence and deck repairs, broken windows, lawns, hedge trimming, painting, weed and moss spraying, basic plumbing, soft washing of homes, water blasting – pretty much anything around the house.”

In most cases Tim and Baylee can wash and treat roofs without walking on them, preventing damage. They can kill moss, mould, lichen and bacteria on roofs with a single treatment that will last up to 18 months.

Tony would like to thank his regular clients and he is happy to have a look at most jobs. Give Tony a call. Phone 0274

Countess buys farm for forestry

Report for Week Ending 7/6/19, by Ian Hicks.

The 50 Shades of Green group wants the government to stop the blanket planting of good farmland in trees immediately. PHOTO/FILE

Pam Graham

Rural

An Austrian aristocrat has bought the Hadleigh farm near Masterton and the trees she will plant there will be known as Bernadette Forest. Countess Veronika Leeb-Goess-Saurau has purchased 1727ha Hadleigh/Mt Clyde farms at 1940 to 1941 Te Ore Ore Bideford Rd and 73 Stoddards Rd from Lone Star Farms, owned by Nelson-based American businessman Tom Sturgess. She is selling Riverbend Homestead, Hadleigh Homestead, Hadleigh Cottage and the ﬂat land on the farm, from which the Mt Clyde homestead will be moved within three years. The Hadleigh homestead and cottage are already on the market but speculation the homestead has sold is not correct, according to the agent. Planting of trees on the

1280ha left will start this year, with harvesting due in 2045 to 2047. The countess will be able to claim up to $600,000 in taxpayer subsidies, according to Fairfax, and she already owns a property in northern Hawke’s Bay where trees have been planted, known as Carlsberg Forest. Her family own forests and castles in Austria, and the world’s largest producer of cardboard cartons made from recycled material, Mayr-Melnhof Karton AG. The sale of Hadleigh, thought originally to be forest investment facilitator Roger Dickie NZ, has prompted a public campaign by a lobby group 50 Shades of Green to call for research into a land conversion phenomenon that could kill rural communities in Wairarapa and elsewhere. About 150 people attended a meeting in Masterton recently, which

heard 15 families were leaving the Tiraumea area because their farms had sold. The 50 Shades of Green group wants the government to stop the blanket planting of good farmland in trees immediately, and a full and independent assessment of the long-term eﬀect of the current government policy. One farmer who did not want to be named said some of those opposed to forests are old-school sheep and beef farmers who just don’t like trees. He says there is a distortion because foreign investors are not able to buy a farm but are able to buy a farmland which is going into forest. But he argues markets are markets and if carbon markets favour forests so be it. Sheep and beef farmers just need a better market for their goods to be able to compete.

FANCY A SLOW COOKED OR CASSEROLED MEAT DISH FOR A WINTER’S NIGHT?

A SMALL YARD, BUT BUILDING IS BIG BUSINESS AT CRIGHTON ITM GREYTOWN

Greytown Butchery sources all its lamb and beef from Palliser Ridge farm on the Wairarapa’s south coast.

Appearances can be deceiving.

GREYTOWN

OUT & ABOUT IN

Palliser Ridge is this years’ Regional Supreme Winner of the 2019 Greater Wellington Ballance Farm Environment Awards. All its animals are fed on grass and herb forages and then hand-selected to head off to Cabernet Foods Wairarapa for processing. The carcasses are then delivered to Gavin Green and the team at Greytown Butchery. Gavin has just received a fresh order this week, ready for your casserole, stew or roast.

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.

CLASSIC POP, ROCK, AND ROCK AND ROLL, AT THE SWWMC THIS FRIDAY Classic hits from the golden age of pop music are promised by the “Make Believe Variety Band” when it performs at the South Wairarapa Working Men’s Club this Friday from 7pm. Make Believe’s repertoire includes 1960s music, classic hits, rock and roll, and country rock. The band was formed in 2012 by Dennis Roderick with hand-picked experienced musicians. The band members have played alongside well-known artists including the Drifters, Van Morrison, Allison Durban and Tony Williams, to name a few.

WINTER ON THE OUTSIDE, SUMMER ON THE INSIDE Well, the slow descent into winter has come to a sudden halt, and we are here! - looking at all the lovely snow on the Tararuas. Ironically, as Shalari Lingerie owner Tina Dunlop observes, the arrival of winter proper always leads everyone to relax and enjoy the new season. Her customers also get to enjoy uplifting colours under their winter outfits, with lots of bright designs instore, straight from the European summer collections. So there is no need to be blue, unless that is your favourite colour. Tina will give you a personal fitting - if you haven’t had one from her already - and help you find the right lingerie to brighten up your winter!

MINI EXCAVATOR IDEAL FOR HARD TO GET TO PLACES

GREYTOWN DENTAL SOUTH WAIRARAPA’S OWN DENTAL PRACTICE

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.

Located in The Hub, Greytown Dental is a modern dental practice with four dentists and a hygienist.

36 Wairarapa Midweek Wai Write Wednesday, June 12, 2019

The shopkeeper’s ghost Keith Allen

Wai Write

Tommy and William (who wished people would call him Billy, because William sounded too posh – more like royalty) lived next door to each other, went to the same school, and spent as many after school hours together as was possible. They spent most of this time after cycling for pleasure, not as a sport. There was only one rule that they their parents insisted on; be home before dark. Failure to do so without valid excuse resulted in them being forbidden to ride their bikes for a week. Both set of parents had the same rule. On these trips, they took an old sugar bag with them and put into it whatever they found that might be useful at a later date. Empty soft drink bottles is what they treasured most. At a cent a bottle, it did not take more than two or three days searching to accumulate enough to be able to buy a bottle of CocaCola each. This exchange took place at Harry’s Four

Square store on the corner of South Road and Bengston Street. Both were saddened by the newspaper article announcing Harry was retiring and his store could not be sold. All saleable chattels were removed, but things like the counter and a cash draw remained in place. As the building became overgrown with weeds and turned into a home for mice and spiders and other insects, it became an excellent play area for Tommy and William and their friends. The more derelict it became, the more appealing it became to the boys. One day, about two years on, Tommy was standing behind the counter pretending to be Harry, and William a customer “Good afternoon Mrs Smith. How’s your young lassie, Elizabeth?” “Fine, just, ﬁne Harry. She started school last week and loves it.” “Hurray and make up your mind boys. I haven’t got all day.” Suddenly a shadowy ﬁgure, looking remarkably like Harry stood beside Tommy.

“A Ghost,” screamed Tommy. “Nah, you don’t believe all that nonsense, do you?” Then they heard the voice. “I remember you two – you used to sell me soft drink bottles. I would take them out to my open shed and you would go and get them and resell them to me.” At that, both boys ﬂed as fast as they could, never to return. They told their friends what had happened, but failed to tell those they knew that visited but were not their friends. • Keith Allen is a member of the Blairlogie Writer’s Group. • The group usually meets on the last Friday of each month in the Wairarapa Genealogy Society Rooms next to the Archive on Queen St in Masterton.

Dalefield men suffer first loss HOCKEY

Chris Cogdale Dalefield suffered their first loss of the Wellington Men’s Premiership, going down 3-2 to defending champions Hutt United at Fraser Park, Lower Hutt. Hamish Finlayson opened the scoring for Dalefield with only two seconds left on the clock in the first quarter. Hutt fought back with a simple goal from a penalty corner and added a second to take a 2-1 lead into the final quarter. A Trent Lett goal from a penalty corner early in the fourth quarter levelled the scores. The winning goal came with about six minutes to play and wasn’t without controversy. A high ball was slapped into the circle by Hutt and the Dalefield defence hesitated, expecting play to be stopped for a dangerous ball but it continued, with Hutt scoring in the ensuing melee. Co-manager Mike van Woerkom said although Hutt played well, with a simple game plan, Dalefield let themselves down at times. “We left five, six or seven goals out there - we didn’t take our chances,” he said. “Defensively we didn’t press through the field well enough and gave them too much space when they had possession.” Van Woerkom felt the absence of player-coach Dane Lett, who is playing in the World Hockey League with the Black Sticks, was a contributing factor. “We had to drop a natural goal scorer Benedict van Woerkom back to run the role that Dane normally does and

that cut down our goal scoring options.” Despite the loss van Woerkom believes Dalefield and Hutt will be playing for the title at the end of the season. The loss drops Dalefield to second, one point behind Hutt. They next play Victoria University at Clareville on Saturday. The Dalefield women have moved to third place in the Wellington Premiership with a 2-0 win over Kapiti at Clareville on Saturday. A goal to Monique Edwards in the second quarter and a goal to Abby Crawley, with a drag flick from a penalty corner in the third quarter, sealed an important victory. The result has lifted Dalefield one point above Victoria University and just four points behind Harbour City. Coach Michael O’Connor was happy with the outcome against a difficult opponent but said there was some inconsistency. “We played well in parts of the game. When we made good sharp passes we looked really good and then at other times we’d drop off. You could see it, even the girls got frustrated.” “There were plenty of positives to take out of the game though, and we know where we’re at with our game.” O’Connor singled out player of the match Abby Crawley for her high work rate, as well as Edwards, Jade Dawson, Michael O’Connor and Reese Robertson as players who impressed. Dalefield next play Northern United in a home fixture on Saturday.

Exciting beginnings for Greytown juniors FOOTBALL

Greytown Junior Football Club has got off to a cracking start to the season with mild weather and record player numbers making for some excellent matches. The club has 16 teams across seven divisions for the 2019 season, with good weather over the first few rounds delivering great pitches and plenty of fun. Highlights so far in the season – which started on May 4 – have been the number of children playing football for the first time, and the amount of girls now coming through the club. Increasing participation in football among girls is

one of the club’s strategic goals. The parent support for the club has been strong, which is very positive. Club president Rachel Gawith said having the support of the community was vital to the success of the club. The big news for the club this season is the sponsorship from Jennian Homes Wairarapa, who have agreed to support the club through the funding of 80 new football shirts. These shirts will replace older stock and are now being proudly worn by Greytown players. The funding has allowed the club to keep fees at $55 per player – despite a

significant increase in the affiliation fee the club pays to Capital Football. Club treasurer Gary Hewson said receiving the sponsorship from Jennian had been vital in allowing the club to keep junior football accessible for local children. “Without this support we would have almost certainly had to increase our fees. “The club is very grateful that a local business is prepared to provide such significant assistance.” The season continues until mid August and involves teams across Wairarapa, with participating players aged 4 to 12 years old.

Scooter’s darts report DARTS

Mark Clement Panthers made history last Thursday night in the Wairarapa District Darts Competition in becoming the first team to win 16-nil over a strong SWWMC Gold this year. In the second division, Services caused an upset win over the more fancied team of SWWMC Blue 12-3. There were wins for WSCC Waingawa, and second division competition leaders JSB Chathams. My first division men’s player of the week is Dale Hemi from Panthers.

Dale won all his singles matches and scored 17x100,2x140, 2x180, LDG (19). My ladies’ player of the week is Sue Callister from Ynots. Sue won two out of four singles mates against much tougher opponents and was unlucky not to win all four matches. She also so scored 6x100, 1x140. My second division player of the week is Graeme Pederson. Graeme won all his games that night to help his WSCC Waingawa team win against JSB Cheetahs. Graeme also scored 3x100. As from this week, game sheet will no longer be chased. If the game sheet is not received on Friday nights by 5.30pm, the home team will be deducted two points. Good luck all players travelling to Porirua this weekend to

take part in the NZDC Puma Masters June 15 and 16.

Gladstone has taken the lead in the Tui Cup after a hard fought 32-24 win over East Coast at Whareama. The bonus point victory for four tries sees the defending champions leapfrog Eketahuna, who drop to third following a 17-16 loss to Martinborough. Gladstone coach Steve Thompson said they had to work hard for the win. “We were okay, but East Coast were pretty good in the forwards and kept us honest, and in the backs, they kept coming at us,” he said. “We drifted off our game plan at times, and they managed to break our rhythm a bit; they’re a difficult team to play against.” Thompson said, “both teams had chances to win it, but we did enough in the end and we’re happy to take the win.” A sound tactical kicking game by first-five Tipi Haira led Martinborough to their 17-16 win over Eketahuna at Eketahuna. Haira used the wind well in the first half to keep Eke pinned in their own territory. Two tries from barnstorming runs by
