A life of many ‘second chances’ Emily Ireland Most people would call the life of Peter Knighton a tough one. He calls it “blessed”. The Wairarapa disability advocate has had more than his fair share of hardships, beginning before he was even born. Yet he lives with an optimism unmatched by many, making it his mission in life to show others that even in the darkest times, “there is always hope”. Peter’s journey was ﬁrst documented publicly in 1977. He was 16 months old and his parents Judy and Bob Knighton had gone to the Takapuna Times newspaper, sharing their concerns about the eﬀects the herbicide 2,4,5-T had on their son.

At that young age, Peter was suffering from a cancer-related disorder of the lymphatic system and had to be taken to Auckland Hospital every week for life-giving drugs. While Judy was pregnant with Peter, a farm across the road from their home was heavily sprayed with the herbicide, drifting onto their roof and contaminating the family’s water tank. “It didn’t affect mum because her immune system was fully developed, but because mine wasn’t, it affected me,” Peter said. He grew normally until he was about three months old and his growth slowed. “I didn’t like lying on my front and wouldn’t learn to crawl,

so my parents bought me a walker.” At nine months his parents found a lump behind his ear which doctors thought was a bruise. “When it didn’t go away, it grew. I went in for surgery, and they found it was cancerous. “I was diagnosed with a very rare and often terminal form of cancer. I started chemotherapy when I was 10 months old.” His mum told the Takapuna Times that she and her husband had “accepted the fact that Peter might die as a result of this”. He went into remission, but after six months, the cancer returned, and he had to do another year of chemotherapy. “It caused damage to my brain, which led to major speech impairment, frontal lobe damage and ataxic cerebral palsy, which aﬀected the right side of my body. “My frontal lobe functions at 3 per cent.” In the years that followed Peter’s rough start to life, he faced other hardships including Continued on page 3

Show of support at walk Beckie Wilson It has been seven years since Toni Ryan last saw her son smile. She lost her son, Sam Ryan, to suicide when he was just 16, and not a day goes by without her wishing she could have him back. Ryan told her story of pain and acceptance to supporters at the Hope Walk on Sunday, which she organised with suicide prevention co-ordinator Rachel Hope and Mark Shepherd. Walks were held in both Masterton and Featherston. More than 100 people gathered across the two towns to show their support for suicide awareness – some, like Ryan, had lost loved ones to suicide, others were suicide survivors. People gathered at both Featherston town “squircle” square and Masterton’s Robinson Park before embarking on the Hope Walk around a section of the towns. Many people spoke about their experiences and

struggles with mental health and suicide. Ryan’s son had struggled with depression and anxiety for a long time. “I thought if I just loved him enough he would stay,” she said. “But I have learnt a lot since then, I learnt it takes more than just love, but it’s a damn good start.” People would say to her that losing a child to suicide was the hardest thing. “It’s actually not, what is even harder is living with the consequence of your child dying. “This is not an easy road. I always say even on the days when I don’t feel like getting up to do what I do, I don’t want anyone ever to live the life our family lives now.” In the past seven years, Ryan said attitudes towards mental health and suicide had changed for the better, but more could be done. She encouraged those in the crowd to build relationships and connect with others, something she saw as an act of suicide prevention. Raine MacKenzie was just 12 when she ﬁrst

attempted suicide. She spoke at the Masterton event about overcoming her own struggles. Fighting back her tears, she told the crowd how she lost her best friend, Chelsea Brunton, to suicide last year after admitting herself into a mental health facility. MacKenzie said she knew there were similar stories in the crowd, but with the recent suicide statistics in mind, attitudes towards mental health needed to change. “One thing we are not lacking is hope, we are all here because we think we can make a diﬀerence and I believe the best place to start is our youth,” she said. MacKenzie spent her younger years in Masterton where she said she experienced the lack of connection between youth and the community. “That left myself, and friends of mine, who didn’t have great support systems in our lives, feeling isolated. “A lot of us self-harmed

and self-medicated just to feel connected. “In saying that, my proposition for all of you today is to look within yourselves in the spirit of hope, to search for the things we know make us feel connected and share that with our loved ones and our community.” Ezra Stobbart, 22, a suicide survivor, said there are many sayings out there, particularly for men, such as “man up” and “open up”. “Seriously I don’t follow any of that – there’s a slogan I go by, it’s ‘be real till you heal’,” he said. Stobbart told both the Masterton and Featherston crowds how he has been through “almost every system in the country”. “But I’m here today to say I’m not my diagnosis, I’m like everyone else but I just have a few extra struggles,” he said. Stobbart encouraged those in the crowds to be a supporter and a friend. “Hold up this stop sign and say, oi, you are going down a road you don’t want

Provisional suicide statistics, released recently, show there were eight suicides recorded in Wairarapa during the year ending June, down from 12 the previous year. Nationally, a total of 668 people took their own lives, the highest number on record.

The search is on for helpful passerby A Masterton woman is on the search for a stranger who helped her mum after she fell oﬀ her mobility scooter. The woman, whose mother died several days after the incident, is hoping to thank the person who helped out and called for an ambulance. She also hopes to get

more information about how her mother was found. “I just want to meet up with this person and say thank you, give them a big hug, and then go to where mum fell. “I just want to close this chapter.” On August 1 between 3pm and 4pm, the

woman’s mum decided to go to Kuripuni to get coﬀee “and somehow she fell oﬀ her scooter”. She was found on Herbert St outside Chanel College with a smashed hip and arm injuries. “I have tracked everyone down and the last person I found was the ambulance – they didn’t have too much

to say other than it had tipped on her. “All I know is a passerby came past and saw her on the ground and thought to call the ambulance.” The woman’s mother had “quite bad dementia” and so when she called her daughter, “all she said was she fell oﬀ her scooter, but she couldn’t remember

what happened”. “After that, she was pretty sedated, so that was the last I heard from her to get any information.” “I just want to ﬁnd this person who helped out, give them a big hug and say thank you very much for being there for Mum and helping her.”

Showing others there is hope Continued from page 1 falling and cracking his head at school, being hit by a car, tripping and falling through a glass plate window, and being attacked by a dog. At nine years old, he developed epilepsy with uncontrolled seizures. These come less often now. Later in life, Peter was sexually assaulted and tried to end his own life. He puts his survival against the odds down to his strong faith and spiritual journey.

I believe it was the fact that I’ve always had an awesome sense of determination and a loving spiritual upbringing, that I am still alive

“Throughout my life I have had many operations, and many doctors predicted I would live in a wheel chair or talk with a stutter, and even how long my life would be. “I believe it was the fact that I’ve always had an awesome sense of determination and a loving spiritual upbringing, that I am still alive.” “It may seem like you are in the darkest place in your life. “But your breakdown is God’s breakthrough. I want to show others there is hope – that there’s more to life than just what we see.”

Brotherhood key to new group Emily Ireland Looking at Jonas Koukl, you would assume he has a strong sense of identity. Conﬁdent and worldly, he is most known in Wairarapa for his music co-creation workshops at Aratoi Museum of Art and History where he brings people together with music therapy. But there was a time when Jonas was unsure of his personal identity – that was before he discovered the magic of men’s groups. Now, he is introducing his own version to Wairarapa. Jonas, now 33 and originating from Czech Republic, ﬁrst experienced Men’s Group when he was 19. “If I experienced it as a teenager, my life would have been much easier,” he said.

Jonas Koukl, originally from Czech Republic, has started a men’s group in Wairarapa. PHOTO/SUPPLIED

“As a teenager I just wanted to belong somewhere.” He said he used to change himself to fit in with different subcultures. “I was good at it, but it was not me. “I was fulfilling my expectation of their

expectations.” When doing shamanic work, Jonas was given a message that he should be “helping men rise up”. Two days later, he was contacted by his dad, inviting him to a men’s group. “There, I experienced

that belonging, but without being someone else,” he said. “I was encouraged to talk about me, my fears, things we are encouraged to hide. “I saw big tough men crying. It was cool and so real. “I felt that all the men were my brothers. “We all belong to each other and we have to help each other live a noble life for our wives, partners, and children.” Last month, he started his own men’s group in Wairarapa. It is open to any man older than 14 years and the meetings last for half a day. “Part of our meetings is always connected with some practical physical work currently needed at the venue of the host, and the host is always someone else, so our work

will aﬀect not just one house or garden.” The next meeting is on September 16 at Matahiwi Rd, Masterton. There will be an opportunity to talk, share stories, experiences, share a potluck lunch and also do some physical work on a permaculture garden project. The day will run from 10am until 5pm at the latest. “We are meeting with the intention to learn and connect intergenerationally. “Each of us carries some message for others, there is a wisdom to experience, not depending on the age.” Jonas said he established Wairarapa Men’s Group because he missed it and was “sure that many others would proﬁt from experiencing it”. “Many men are missing

belonging to something strong and wholesome, ﬁnding the vision, deeper purpose, positive mission, and having a clarity of direction. “I organised many men’s groups in Europe during the past 10 years and I feel very honoured to use my experiences to contribute to the Wairarapa community for the wonderful life my partner and I have here.” There is no subscription or membership needed or future commitment. • If you are interested in attending the September 16 group, email Jonas on jonas@ connecting-arts.com. • The next date is October 6-7 in Featherston. • For more information, visit www.connectingmusic.nz/mens-groupwairarapa.

It’s kiwi hatching time again The ﬁrst of four kiwi chicks hatched last Tuesday morning at Pukaha Mount Bruce, marking the opening of the nursery for the season. The kiwi is the 102nd chick to be hatched at the wildlife centre as part of the national kiwi recovery programme, ‘Operation Nest Egg’, which involves uplifting kiwi eggs from the wild to improve their chances of survival against predators. Pukaha rangers and volunteers have collected four kiwi eggs from the Pukaha forest so far this season and have begun the specialised incubation process in the kiwi house nursery. The rangers will carefully turn the remaining three eggs four times a day while maintaining the temperature at 35.5C until they hatch. They are then hand raised to a weight of approximately 1.2 kilos before being released back into the reserve.

“We are all pretty excited when the eggs start hatching,” general manager, Emily Court said. “The team are ready to gather up visitors in the reserve should an egg start hatching during opening hours. “It is an extraordinary thing to witness”. Visitors to Pukaha can expect to see the kiwi chick hatchling over the coming two weeks once head kiwi ranger, Jess Flamy decides it is ready to start its introduction to the captive kiwi diet. Once they start on this feeding regime the public can watch the feed daily at the 12pm kiwi talk. The Pukaha rangers will continue feeding the chick until they are conﬁdent it has accepted the diet and is eating on its own. The chick will then be transferred to the ‘kiwi creche’ or outdoor enclosures at Pukaha, where it will remain until its release.

There has been a silver lining in the closure of the Wairarapa Branch of the Asthma Foundation. And that silver lining was the whopping $16,027 the organisation had in the kitty which was passed on to the Wairarapa Cancer Society last week. The cheque was handed over to Wairarapa Cancer Society chairman Rob Irwin by the secretary of the Wairarapa branch of

the Asthma Foundation Pip Murdoch (left), and branch president Cathy Haste (right). Irwin said he was sorry to see an institution like the Asthma Foundation branch close, but was “very happy to receive the gratuities of the proceedings”. The money will be used in the expansion of the Wairarapa chemotherapy unit.

‘Whaea Debi’ moves forward Elisa Vorster

Students from Hato Paora College travelled from Feilding last week in a special powhiri to mark the handover of former principal Debi MarshallLobb to her new role as principal of Chanel College. Marshall-Lobb had been acting principal at Chanel since term 1 and was appointed to the permanent position in term 3. Chanel College welcomed the visiting school by performing the haka ‘Ko Wairarapa’ to an audience which included board members, parish

members, parents, and teachers from St Patrick’s School, a feeder school to Chanel. Acting principal of Hato Paora Sean Bristow worked under MarshallLobb as deputy principal and couldn’t speak highly enough of ‘Whaea Debi’ – a Maori term of respect which the students called her by. “The legacy you have left behind at Hato Paora won’t be forgotten,” he said. Chanel College staff then handed over a korowai for Hato Paora staff to wrap around Marshall-Lobb – a traditional Maori cloak woven by her late mother.

Stay strong and independent; come along to a strength and balance class.

The gesture symbolised Marshall-Lobb was now under the care and support of Chanel College. Marshall-Lobb had to fight through tears as she addressed both schools but was quickly supported by her daughter Waipora Marshall-Lobb and Chanel’s Te Reo Maori teacher, ‘Pa Johni’ Rutene. “Today is a special day which allows tikanga Maori to have a prominent role in supporting the school community,” Marshall-Lobb said. “It gives the opportunity to have my old school and new school in the same room together.”

Silena Martin

From anxiety to freedom Emily Ireland

Silena’s father left her when she was a year old. “The message I gave to that situation was, ‘my father doesn’t love me’.” After studying counselling and learning how anxiety operated, she realised it was her that had given the negative message to the situation. “My father didn’t leave because I was unlovable. “He left because that was the decision he had made. “There was also a lot of abuse in my upbringing. “It was a really dark, scary place . . . it cemented to me that actually, I am useless.” In 2008, Silena graduated from a counselling course at Lifeway College up at Snell’s Beach. “Through the counselling we were taught how to counsel, but I was counselled myself as a result. “It was through the course, that I actually discovered that I had anxiety. “The driver for the panic attacks and anxiety I was having was a fear of failure.”

Silena Martin, of Masterton, has experienced “a lot of brokenness” in her life. Because of her experiences, for a long time she believed that she was “useless”. Chronic anxiety seeped into her life, escalating to a point where she had severe reality-altering panic attacks she would “wake” from. All that was before she understood how anxiety operated. Now, she is a counsellor and shares insights from her own journey through anxiety into freedom with other women. She is hosting a workshop on September 29 at Masterton Community Church titled From Anxiety to Freedom. “The biggest stronghold in my anxiety was that I truly believed I was useless,” she said. “There were lots of early experiences for me that actually confirmed that to my mind. “But they were lies upon lies.”

Silena Martin, a counsellor with her own anxiety journey.

With support from her peers, her faith, and new knowledge, Silena had a breakthrough – she tore down the foundation she had built most of her life upon – the lie that she was useless, the lie that that she was not worthy, the lie that she had nothing to offer. “Now I know I’m not

PHOTO/EMILY IRELAND

useless, I’m useful. “And these bad things that have happened in my life, yes, they still did happen, but they no longer define who I am.” Silena hopes her workshop at the end of this month will equip other women with the tools needed to overcome anxiety.

SO LONG WINTER

“Anxiety is fear-driven. It’s future-based and manifests in the question ‘what if?’. “People with anxiety see a bad outcome and the hallmark of anxiety is avoidance.” She said the “anxiety profile” was made up of four things: mood, the physical response,

behaviour, and thoughts. Typically, the behaviour associated with anxiety was avoidance. “We are overestimating a danger and underestimating our ability to cope.” She said her journey with anxiety was exactly that – a journey. “I still get anxious, but I can identify it and grab it and allow it to no longer continue in my life. “Everything that has happened in my life has been used for good. “Instead of looking at it as negative, I can now turn it into something good and empower other women.” Silena’s From Anxiety to Freedom workshop will be held from 9am until 3pm on September 29 at Masterton Community Church. Spaces are limited, and interest must be registered by emailing silenamartin3@gmail.com. The workshop costs $50 and Silena will draw on her Christian faith experiences, as well as her learning to empower participants.

Flu kicks in for kids Beckie Wilson

Primary schools across the region have been hit with the flu, with large numbers of children off sick. Wairarapa Hospital is also seeing an increase in symptoms, with some patients hospitalised. Masterton Medical and Wairarapa Hospital have seen a delayed start to the ‘flu season’ with the number of those sick increasing over the past two weeks. Primary schools are asking parents to keep their children at home to reduce the spread of viral illnesses, which are also affecting teachers. St Patrick’s School in Masterton had 28 pupils off sick last Friday. Principal Steve Wheeler said seven pupils went home after the flu-like symptoms came on quickly. “One thing we have noticed is how quick it is hitting children, they come in and two hours later they are ill – we see symptoms quite quickly.” A vomiting bug first hit the school a few weeks ago, with many teachers and pupils absent, he said. Wheeler said he had been in contact with Regional Public Health and the Ministry of Health.

St Teresa’s School in Featherston also had about 28 pupils away sick. Principal Jennifer Muth said she noticed a spike in children away sick the week prior, with about 16 of the 105-roll off. When the number of sick pupils reaches 15 per cent of the roll, the ministry must be notified. Muth said the ministry asked for throat swabs from pupils last Monday, and results came back as influenza A. “It’s a very nasty bug,” she said. The symptoms varied with some pupils vomiting and diarrhoea, while

others had a peak in temperatures. Greytown Primary School principal Patrice O’Connor was seeing a similar trend with a large number of staff and pupils away recently. She noticed about four different bugs circulating the school, including symptoms of headaches and high temperatures, to projectile vomiting, and others will aching joints. The school had ramped up its cleaning roster which included more regular cleaning of drinking fountains, she said. Sue Walters, principal of

Masterton Primary School said there was a higher than normal number of children away sick. Wairarapa Hospital had seen a “significant increase” in flu-like symptoms and have “a number of hospitalised patients awaiting confirmation of diagnosis”, Wairarapa DHB communications manager Anna Cardno said. Masterton Medical general manager Robyn Wilson noticed the ‘flu season’ was delayed, compared to last year, with increasing numbers of patients with symptoms being seen the past couple of weeks. Regional Public Health medical health officer Dr Craig Thornley said in the past two weeks he had noticed an increase in the number of the region’s schools and early childhood centres with viral illnesses. Thornley said the increase in the flu, and other viral illnesses, was mainly affecting younger age groups. “The flu and winter virus season has been lower in numbers than usual, with an increase in the number of influenza-like illnesses occurring later than normal,” he said.

Raising funds for Red Cross Almost $900 was raised for Red Cross last month with a wine tasting fundraiser at Peppers Parehua, Martinborough. Despite the wild winter weather, many Wairarapa Red Cross and community members attended and sampled some of Wairarapa’s finest wines, served by winemakers such as Larry McKenna (Escarpment Vineyard) and Raphael Burki (Johner Estate). Guests were given the opportunity to learn more about Wairarapa Red Cross programmes, and Red Cross Corporate

Partnerships Manager Matthew McCracken spoke about the recently launched Winter Warmer packs campaign, which received very positive feedback from Wairarapa recipients. The evening concluded with a silent auction of three paintings by former Iraqi refugee Hani Majeed, who donated $355 (25 per cent of his sales) back to Red Cross. All other proceeds of this event, about $500, will be going towards Red Cross activities in the Wairarapa region, for which the team is “incredibly grateful”.

GARDEN

YARN

WITH

Good preparation

the key to success

Spring is here and gardeners all over the place will be getting excited about getting their gardens ready for vegetable planting. If you haven’t got a vegetable patch already then choose a spot that is in the sun, sheltered from the wind, and for ease down the track try and place it somewhere that’s close to an irrigation supply. There are a few things you can do now that will increase the success of your garden, and very likely save you money – and time down the track.

QUALITY SOIL – THE FOUNDATION TO PLANT HEALTH

It’s worthwhile to take the time to prepare the soil properly. Healthy soil leads to faster growing, stronger crops, which in turn fight pest & disease much better - hopefully meaning you don’t need to spray as much – prevention is better than the cure! It’s best to prepare the soil a few weeks before planting, allowing the garden to “settle”. Firstly clear the area of weeds, debris etc (the best way to do this is by hand, but some opt for spraying or smothering). Plants need all sorts of nutrients for them to thrive and grow to their full potential, and the soil from your last crops will have depleted, so you will need to add the goodness back in (dig it in well). Here’s some recommendations: Daltons Premium Garden

option is Jute-tex (1m wide $7.90 p/m). This is made from 100% biodegradable Golden Jute and although it’s life span is shorter than Geocil, it’s easy to cut and lay, helps hold seeds in place and naturally degrades back into the soil. We sell this per metre, so measure your area and come and see us – don’t forget to get weedmat pins or staples while youre there!

Mix: (2 for $24). Contains controlled release fertiliser & Permawet wetting agent, improves drainage & soil structure, acts as a clay breaker in heavy soils. You could incorporate Daltons Nutrient Enriched Compost into the mix for (2 for $20). There are also organic options such as Tui Organic Vegetable Mix (2 for $25). This is BioGro Certified, contains a disease suppressant, calcium & potassium along with other nutritious goodies. The next two products are top quality and are highly recommended by us here at GardenBarn, and we’re proud to be the exclusive stockists in Wairarapa for the ican range. ican 100% Organic Vegetable Food: A blend of Real Blood and Bone, chicken manure and untreated wood ash, which together provide a perfectly

balanced food, to promote crop flavour and yield, improve your garden soil and encourage earthworm. Use at planting time and throughout the growing season. ican Real Blood & Bone: It’s the real thing, nothing has been taken out and no fillers have been added. Containing almost DOUBLE the nitrogen of others on the market this really is the best you can get. $11.30 each or both for $20.

LOVE WEEDING?

Not a lot of us do, so save yourself precious time down the track by laying down a groundcover. This suppresses weeds while helping maintain higher soil temperatures and can help minimise the risk of disease and rot in root crops. You can lay down Geocil Non Woven Weedmat, 2m wide at $3.30 per metre or another

Save yourself precious time by laying down weedmat before planting.

DON’T LET THE NASTIES IN!

Sadly pests & disease is part of gardening – but there are ways to miminise them. Healthy plants fight pests & disease easier, so good soil and adequate food and water are crucial. There are some nasty things threatening our produce – take the pea weevil for example. Another terrible one for crops such as tomatoes and potatoes is Psyllids. The psyllid bug can ruin crops and can be extremely hard – if not

impossible – to eradicate. The best protection is to build a protective “barrier” around your garden, we recommend taking the time and spending the money to do it before you plant your seedlings, that way you can be sure no nasties have got in in the meantime. This can be as simple as banging in a few waratahs or strong stakes around your garden and securing CropSafe netting around the whole of the garden, taking care not to have any gaps that potential threats could get in through (but still letting sun, rain and airflow through). Make it high enough so your tallest plants don’t run out of room, and give yourself a way to access the garden. CropSafe does cost a few dollars more per metre than other bug netting ($9.70 p/m) but it’s the one that works – and hopefully you can have a spray free garden! Another thing to consider is installing a good irrigation system, such as soaker hoses or drippers. Watering the base of the plant rather than the top helps prevent fungal diseases, even better if you have this connected to a rainwater tank and operated by a timer! So Spring is here – it’s time to get cracking and come down to GardenBarn to get everything you need to grow your own, healthy fresh produce, we look forward to seeing you!

Kites, daffodils, and smiles

Carterton

The Times-Age team were out and about this weekend, covering all the biggest goings-on in the region, most of which happened in Carterton. Saturday brought with it the inaugural Carterton Kite Festival, and Sunday, the Daffodil Festival. The Big Wai Art Sale carried over the weekend.

The Daffodil Express made quite the entrance into Carterton on Sunday morning for the Daffodil Festival, with onlookers scrambling to get a photo. “Stay behind the yellow line”, event volunteers crooned over and over again. PHOTO/JASON IRELAND

MIDWEEK PHOTOS Have you got a photo you want to share with Wairarapa?

Power of thought Piece of mind

Opinion

Emily Ireland Thought is a very powerful thing. So powerful, in fact, that it can change the course of our lives. Recently, I watched a show hosted by UK illusionist, mentalist, painter, writer and skeptic Derren Brown. The title of this particular episode was The Secret of Luck and it begins with Derren spreading a rumour in a small town about a lucky dog statue. Over time as the rumour grows, residents of this small town begin to visit the statue and open their minds to the idea of ‘luck’. Because of their openmindedness, they begin to embrace opportunities that bring them ‘luck’. They are so convinced in the ‘truth’ of this lucky dog that nothing stands in their way of being truly ‘lucky’.

Other residents have a very closed-minded approach, telling themselves that they have been unlucky their whole lives and nothing, not even a lucky dog, will change that. One of the people the programme follows is the town butcher, Wayne, who is so convinced of his bad luck that Derren sets up a few things to test the theory. This included placing a fake scratch card in Wayne’s mail – if he scratched it, he would have won a TV (for real), but instead, he discarded the card without scratching it. He also set up other opportunities for Wayne to win things, but at each opportunity, Wayne ignores them completely. He was making subconscious decisions to close the door on anything

that would have brought him ‘luck’. At the end of the show, when Wayne is shown all the missed opportunities, he decides to take a chance and bet his life savings on the roll of a dice under the supervision of Derren. Spoiler alert: he won an equivalent of $10,000NZD. While I’m not telling you to gamble your savings away, and while there may be no such thing as a lucky dog, the programme is a great reminder that you truly do reap what you sow. If today, you have been feeding yourself with thoughts like, ‘I’m worthless’, ‘I’m going to fail’, ‘no one loves me’, ‘I’m unlucky’, I can tell you right now you are going to have a crap day. If instead you fill yourself with thoughts like ‘I’m awesome’, ‘I can do this’, ‘I am worthy of love’, ‘I’m lucky’, you’ll probably have an amazing day. The only things we can control in this life are our thoughts – make them good ones.

Beverley Jack Wairarapa Community Centre manager The Wairarapa Community Centre has been actively supporting our community since 2002. This week we want to share with you a new community project called Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) Residents. This project is an initiative run by Masterton Neighbourhood Support who are a service stream of Connecting Communities, situated at the Community Centre. Primarily, this project provides support to CALD residents by linking people up with a neighbourhood ‘buddy’, informing CALD residents where to go locally for information and advice, oﬀering support with immigration processes, English exams, government paperwork and to deliver Neighbourhood Support messages in easy English around emergency preparedness, community well-being and crime prevention. The focus is also to link CALD residents of similar backgrounds, language and culture to make their transition to their new home as easy as possible, making them feel cared for, welcome and safe! Volunteers are an important and valued part of the project. If you have experience living in CALD countries, have worked with culturally diverse clients, are wellconnected or aware of services and activities

Green Dollar Exchange (G$) is situated at the Community Centre. G$ members are ordinary, everyday people living in our community. Members may be working families, retired folk, unemployed, trades and business people, labourers, or hobbyists. All members have two things in common: 1. Seeing the value in trading their own excess goods or skills/services with their fellow members to meet the needs of their family and; 2) The belief that everybody, regardless of their circumstances, has at least one skill up their sleeve that can be exchanged without the reliance of $NZ to do it. Members earn their G$ credit trading goods and services throughout the month or at monthly markets either in Masterton, Carterton or

Greytown. September’s market has a Spring theme and is being held on Saturday September 22, 10am-2pm at the Masterton Senior Citizens Hall. Everyone is welcome and $NZ can be used for any purchases.

Driving with others in mind

This month is Remember September and Wairarapa Students Against Dangerous Driving (SADD) are remembering the 700 plus young lives lost over the last 10 years on New Zealand Roads. Wairarapa SADD representative OLIVIA HARVEY has her say. We as a community all use the roads, so it is important to keep others in mind when driving. Whether you’re driving to work, dropping people off or just going to shops, what you do while driving affects everyone on the road. This month for Remember September, SADD is focusing on getting road users to think about those around them and how their actions affect others. The key factors involved in safer driving are: • Speed – the faster you drive, the less time you have to respond to hazards and the more likely you are to suffer serious

injury in a crash. • Alcohol or drug-affected driving – consuming alcohol or other substances can impair your judgement and slow your reaction times behind the wheel. • Driver fatigue – driving when you’re tired, weary or exhausted slows your reflexes and affects your ability to concentrate and make good decisions. • Driver distraction – anything that diverts your attention for more than two seconds can significantly increase your likelihood of having a crash eg mobile phone. • Giving way at intersections – failing to give way at intersections is one of the

safety belt or child restraint reduces the risk of being killed or seriously injured in a road crash by 40 per cent.

SADD stands for students against dangerous driving. SADD is a student led organisation that aims to encourage safer behaviour whilst driving. Each year during the month of September, we run activities and events to raise awareness about the consequences of dangerous driving and to remember those who have passed away on the roads. • You can follow our SADD on Facebook.

MANUFACTURER LIQUIDATION S A L E “WHAT AN OPPORTUNITY!”

Poster appeals Greg Ariell of Property Brokers, and Heart of Arts in Carterton, have collaborated on an art poster aimed at promoting a funding idea between the two organisations. The real estate agent will donate $500 to the art gallery with each house he sells – but only if the seller asks. “It’s basically a brave move to keep a roof over the artists and their artworks at Heart of Arts,” Carterton artist Martin Doyle said. Doyle created the poster in pen and ink. It needs to be seen to be believed but it’s definitely not boring. In some ways, it breaks new ground in terms of what a poster can be. Martin Doyle handed out free copies of it at the WaiArt big art sale. Heart of Arts is also offering free copies of it to visitors to the Heart of Arts gallery in Carterton. The poster is in colour, A3 and gloss.

Mars trip out of our reach Sky Watch

Nick Sault The next few nights, the new moon interacts with the brighter planets. Jupiter and Venus have been getting closer in the sky and tomorrow (Thursday) they will form a nice triangle with the new crescent moon. The following night, the moon in its passage towards the east from night to night, will graze by Venus, missing it by a mere 4 degrees. They will both be sitting between the two stars that form the weighing scales of constellation Libra. With Venus nearly at its brightest, this should be an awesome sight if you can catch them when the twilight has almost gone. With Venus in mind, and it being a very obvious object in our evening sky, it’s worth pointing out that NASA has a probe on its way and will do a fly-by of Venus on September 28. The Parker Solar probe is, as its name suggests, bound for the sun, but currently it is visiting Venus on the way.

There’s not a lot of difference between Venus and Mars in terms of distance. But there the comparisons end. Mars is relatively an open book, with very little atmosphere to hide its surface. Venus on the other hand is global warming gone mad. Venus’s atmosphere is made up of primarily the arch-enemy greenhouse gas carbon dioxide, and that atmosphere is nearly 100 times denser than our Nitrogen/Oxygen mix. That makes it practically opaque to visible light so that other means need to be employed to map its surface. More of this nearer the time. People often ask me, how come we send all these probes out there and not astronauts? These people must have minimal concept of the alienness of the space environment. I note that the International Space Station had a scare

recently when they had to plug a tiny hole, likely made by a micrometeoroid. It illustrates how expensive it would be to keep astronauts alive on a trip to even the nearest “landable” planet; that is Mars. People should watch the film NASA shows of astronauts returning to Earth from six or 12 months in the

space station. They have so much muscle and bone waste in that time in zero gravity that they can’t stand up when they return to Earth.

Greytown Butchery’s award winning sausages and best meats are now available at Jellicoe Street Four Square in Martinborough at the corner of Jellicoe and Naples Streets.

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.

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.

There is usually live music once a month on a Friday Night with a variety of styles from country to swing era. The club is popular for weddings, funerals and anniversaries. Its restaurant has an excellent reputation, offering full dinners on Saturday and Sunday and snack meals on Wednesday and Friday.

More from ﬁtness expert Ross Edgley, this time on losing fat. As with many things the process is simple, but simple doesn’t necessarily mean easy. Here’s the formula . . . burn more calories than you eat; that’s all there is to it, regardless of your body type, genes, ethnicity, gender. It all comes down to a very simple calculation that, if you want to lose fat (you might not!), you will need to adhere to.

Make things diffi cult

Erling Kagge has done some difficult things. He is the first person to reach the three poles: the North Pole; the South Pole; and the top of Mt. Everest (referred to as the Third Pole) solo. Kagge believes that for many of us things are now too easy and convenient, a key reason why so many are discontent and unhappy – we just don’t have the sense of fulfilment that comes with overcoming challenges or doing hard things. Kagge’s strategy for overcoming this is to set yourself challenges and do difficult things; sign up, train for and run a 5km event; learn how to cook with basic ingredients; learn a new language; learn to play a musical instrument . . . the possibilities are endless, but be sure to choose something that is difficult.

The value of a great team

I refer often to Ross Edgley in my column. This is due to three factors: 1. I’m reading his fabulous new book; 2. I am following his YouTube channel; and 3. His life and actions are inspirational. Ross is currently in the process of swimming

PHOTO/GETTY IMAGES

Midweek Musings

Tim Nelson around Great Britain, an almost unbelievable challenge. In his latest post there is footage of a sail getting stuck in the mast on his support vessel. The process of freeing the sail is a complicated and diﬃcult one. Ross acknowledges how challenges such as the stuck sail demonstrate the value of having a strong team alongside you. Had the sail not been freed, the swim could not have continued as planned. Ross was reliant on his team to overcome this unexpected challenge, sharing his appreciation and gratitude to those who are behind him in his epic journey.

Do it when you don’t want to

Great advice from skateboarding legend Tony Hawk, who shared on The Rich Roll Podcast what he considers to be a key factor in why he has been such a huge success for over 30 years, with his success continuing after he has turned 50. His advice? Do things to make you better at something even when you don’t feel like doing it. It’s easy to work on your goals and plans when conditions are perfect, but real success will come when you’re getting things done when motivation is waning and conditions aren’t ideal.

Find the easiest way to do something hard

When attempting the huge challenge of doing the equivalent of the height of Mr Everest, 8848 metres, of rope climbing in 24 hours to raise money for charity, Ross Edgley knew he had massive challenge ahead of him. To achieve, it would take careful planning and a lot of training specific to the challenge. It also took research, particularly finding the most efficient and easiest way to climb the rope; despite the enormity of the task, there would be ways of making it more accessible by doing it in the most efficient way. Taking the time to identify the best strategy led to the challenge being

completed, demonstrating that careful planning and research can make the seemingly impossible possible.

Email cut off time

At a presentation that I attended the facilitator, Brendan Spillane, spoke about staff wellbeing. One idea he suggested that he has found to be effective is to have an organising cut off time of, for example, 7pm for sending emails. This takes the pressure off staff both sending the emails and, at the other end, reading them, then having to or feeling obliged to reply. This strategy can be shared with the wider organisation, for example, in a school it can be shared with families who will understand that teachers, principals and all other staff will be dedicating the evening to their own lives and the things that matter outside of school.

How to be lucky

Luck isn’t necessarily something that just happens, there are things that we need to do to make it happen. A simple example is winning the lottery; this can only happen if you buy a ticket, so there is a step you have to take, buying the ticket, to win the prize. Stanford professor and author Tina Seelig has been studying luck for some time. One of the factors that she has found that increases luck is the willingness to take risks. She gives the example of when she broke from her normal ﬂight routine of putting on headphones to instead starting a conversation with the person in the seat next to her. This conversation ended up building a connection with the passenger, who was a publisher, that led to Tina getting a book published. Tina was lucky to be sitting next to this particular passenger, but she would never have had the luck that led to her book being published if she hadn’t taken the risk of starting the conversation with a stranger on a plane.

Kia Kaha te Reo Māori ‘Let’s make the Māori language strong’

Do you know the Māori word for “screenshot”? How about, “selfie” or “profile picture”? If you answered “no” to any of these you may want to get your hands on a new te reo Māori resource featuring technology terms produced by Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori (Maori Language Commission) and Te Wānanga o Aotearoa.

Last year a record 600 people registered for Mahuru Māori – where people choose to speak te reo Māori for a day, week or month during September, the English word for Mahuru.

There are 30 techie words and associated phrases for each day of the month in September. Te Taura Whiri (Maori Language Commission) now holds Te Wiki o te Reo Māori in September to coincide with Mahuru Māori, an initiative by tertiary education provider Te Wānanga o Aotearoa initiative that started at in 2014. Mahuru Māori is an opportunity for people to commit to speaking Māori for all (or part) of September.

This year more than 1700 people have registered on the mahurumaori.com website with about 800 challenging themselves to speak only te reo Māori for the entire month. Te Wānanga o Aotearoa chief executive Te Ururoa Flavell says Mahuru Māori has come of age and having the support of Te Taura Whiri i te reo Māori will provide a further boost to efforts to see more te reo Māori being used in daily life. “I’m excited to hear more te reo Māori being spoken both at work and in the community during the next month and beyond. I have always been a

strong advocate of te reo Māori and I’ll be supporting everyone who takes up the challenge.” Te Taura Whiri Chief Executive Ngahiwi Apanui says Māori Language Week appeals to all Aotearoa while Mahuru Māori focuses on those already well along their Māori language journey. “Te reo Māori will flourish with everyone’s support - from those whose contribution is to encourage young people to those who contribute by talking the talk day in and day out”. Registered participants have been receiving their Mahuru Māori packs with people able register throughout the month.

Te Reo classes increasing in popularity REAP is one of the primary providers of Te Reo Maori classes in Wairarapa with classes in all the towns. Makuini Kerehi, REAP Kaitakawaenga and one of its ACE Co-ordinators, has noticed a significant increase in the number of people joining the classes over the past three years. She says this reflects a nationwide trend among adult education providers. “It is taking off everywhere, all over the country.” Tama Ariki-Biddle teaches basic Te Reo Māori throughout the year at REAP House in Masterton.

By the end of the course, as well as being able to pronounce Maori words correctly and use a basic vocabulary, students are also familiar with a lot of the customs and traditions tied to Maori culture. One of the first things he talks to students about, is why they have decided to join the class. “A lot say it is important to their profession. They want to be able to pronounce Maori property and learn the basics of traditional Maori etiquette and correct protocol on a marae.”

parallel to our commitment to work together on this.” Te Wiki o te Reo Māori runs from 10-16 September this year, with the theme ‘Kia Kaha Te Reo Māori’ Māori Language Commission Chief Executive, Ngahiwi Apanui, says “‘Kia Kaha’ is well known in New Zealand English with its correct Māori 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 Māori’ we’re saying ‘Let’s make the Māori language strong”.

This is the first partnership of its kind between the two Crown agencies, who made the decision to collaborate when an overlap in their two flagship campaigns was identified. Included in the booklet is information about pronunciation, everyday phrases and species names in te Reo Māori. It also covers astronomy, freshwater, marine, flora, fauna, and outdoor safety. DOC’s Strategic Partnerships Director, Joe Harawira, says working together makes sense when you look at what is at the heart of both campaigns.

MAORI Language Week

‘Let’s make the Māori langua

10-16 September 2018

Rich resource of Wairarapa and national Maori news online at Papers Past One of the most influential Maori language newspapers - Te Puke ki Hikurangi – which was published in Greytown from 1897 to 1913 is available online at Papers Past. Te Puke ki Hikurangi was a project of Hamuera Tamahau Mahupuku (born circa 1837–1842, died 1904), an influential Wairarapa Maori leader. At first very much a vehicle to report the activities of the Kotahitanga Maori parliament movement, it soon expanded to include religious articles, advice on domestic matters for women, reports of foreign and local nonMaori news, and correspondence on canoe traditions and genealogy, according Angela Ballara, Dictionary of New Zealand Biography, Volume 2, 1993. “One series of articles, to which Apirana Ngata contributed, was on Maori depopulation, its causes and remedies. “In the newspaper’s pages Tamahau advertised for knowledgeable people to come to his hui to record Maori tradition and genealogy. “This campaign led to the setting up of the Tane-nui-a-rangi

The masthead of Te Puke ki Hikurangi from Papers Past Renata as foreman, with three compositors and one mechanic,” the website says. “The four to eight page fortnightly publication cost 10 shillings and discussed everything thing from political information, religion, and waka traditions, to obituaries, advice on practical matters and humorous stories. Tamahau Mahupuku, founder of the official newspaper of the Kotahitanga Maori parliament movement committee, responsible for the preservation of much traditional material.” Te Puke ki Hikurangi was a major formative and educative influence on contemporary Maori, Ballara wrote. The paper was run under a

committee of five, including Tamahau and Raukura Mahupuku, and Niniwa-i-te-rangi (who took charge of the paper after Tamahau died in 1904), says Papawai Marae’s website (www.papawai.org.nz) “Purakau Maika was editor with Kingi Rangi-taka-i-waho as subeditor and translator, Tawhiro

“The paper ceased production in 1906, only to resume for a brief period from July 1911 until 1913. It remains a vital record of oral tradition and genealogy.” The title of the newspaper literally translates as “The Mountain called Hikurangi”. Hikurangi is the ancestral mountain in Hawaiki but also relates to the local region so it is a very inclusive name, says Wairarapa Archive historian Gareth Winter.

Semantically, he says, the title invokes “oneness” or “togetherness”. In 2015 the National Library added a collection of historic newspapers published primarily for a Māori audience from 1842 ato 1935. This is based on the digital Niupepa Collection developed and made available in 2000 by the New Zealand Digital Library Project, at the Department of Computer Science, University of Waikato. The source material for this digital collection is ‘Niupepa 1842-1933’, a collection of newspapers published in Māori or for a Māori readership, filmed by the Alexander Turnbull Library (1988) and made available on microfiche (1996). There were three main types of Māori newspapers published; government sponsored, Māori initiated, and religious.

Kia Kaha te reo Māori It’s Māori Language Week this week - Te Wiki o te reo Māori. It is also Māori Language Month during September Mahuru Māori.

The theme this year is “Kia Kaha te Reo Māori”. “Kia Kaha” is well known in New Zealand English with its correct Māori 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 Māori”, we’re saying - “Let’s make

the Māori language strong”. 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.

The Three Trombones members Shannon Pittaway, David Bremner, and Matthew Allison. PHOTO/SUPPLIED

The Three Trombones The fourth concert in the Greytown Music Group 2018 series brings together the three trombones of the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, David Bremner, Matthew Allison, Shannon Pittaway, and pianist Gabriela Glapska. The programme, titled The Lyrical Trombone, will begin at 4pm on Sunday, September 16. Bremner said the group had chosen music “where you can hear the trombone sing”. These include songs by Brahms, Mahler, Debussy, Bach, Albinoni, Schumann and more, as solos, duets and trios. The trombone is not well known as a solo instrument, and probably its image is as a noisy brass instrument mostly doing bass rhythmic parts

under a more interesting melody played by other instruments. As people who heard the BonaNZa quartet play in Greytown a few years ago will remember, the trombone can indeed be a lyrical instrument, and organisers say everyone should enjoy the programme and leave with an entirely diﬀerent view of the trombone. Bremner and Allison studied trombone in New Zealand, and Pittaway in Australia, and they all went on to the United States for further study, Bremner and Allison at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, and Pittaway in Chicago. They have all played in various small groups, chamber music, brass band groups, and jazz.

Teaching has also been a big part of their professional lives, Bremner and Allison at the NZ School of Music, and Pittaway in Singapore. Gabriela Glapska, originally from Poland, completed her doctorate degree at Victoria University last year, and is now an accompanist at the NZ School of Music. • The Three Trombones will perform at 4pm on Sunday, September 16, at 57 Wood Street, Greytown. • Seats can be reserved by phoning Ed and Juliet Cooke on 304 9497, or emailing them at efjac@xtra.co.nz. • General admission is $25 and student admission is $10.

SPRING ISSUES Spring showers bring summer flowers – but they also bring challenges, especially when animals are being born into a blustery southerly storm. Some of the common issues we are seeing this time of year is metabolic disease (down or “sleepy” cows or ewes), calf scours, lamb deaths from exposure, and bloat in pet lambs. Metabolic disease: birth is challenging to sheep and cattle, even apparently healthy animals have to make big changes to their metabolism at the time of giving birth and starting to make milk. The biggest changes is in the body systems that control energy, calcium and magnesium levels. Old animals, overweight or underweight animals, animals that are carrying twins or triplets, or animals that aren’t getting enough to eat are more likely to succumb. Signs are an animal that is “sleepy” or dopey, in severe cases unwilling to rise or eat. Cases that are caught early can be treated, and should be treated as soon as possible. To avoid metabolic disease, it is important to get nutrition right in the last 3 weeks before lambing or calving. Sick lambs and calves: lambs and calves are born with no immunity to disease until they drink the first milk (colostrum). For pet lambs or calves, make sure to feed them colostrum in the first 48 hours of life. For notpet lambs or calves, the best way you can make sure they get enough colostrum is by making sure the ewes or cows are well fed coming up to lambing (for ewes 3-5cm of grass), have a bit of shelter, and aren’t disturbed off their chosen birth site unless things are going wrong. But if you see a lambing or calving that isn’t progressing after

one hour then give us a ring or check that things are ok. Calf scours: Calves often get diarrhoea when they have any change in feed – change in amount, timing, or type of milk or milk replacer, for example. Various bacteria and viruses can also cause scours. Once the animal is affected, dehydration makes them sicker and sicker until they die. It doesn’t matter what has caused the scours, dehydration is what makes them sick and what makes them die. To treat the scours, regardless of the cause, you need to fix the dehydration with electrolytes. Avoid homemade electrolytes as they usually make things worse instead of better. We can test to see what has caused the scours, as some causes have specific treatments. Bloat: to avoid bloat in pet lambs, feed them yoghurt in their milk – see previous articles, or come in to get the “recipe” for making up yoghurt-ised milk. This prevents bloat almost 100%. We are running another of our popular Lifestyle Block Information Evenings – this one will be the evening of Wednesday September 19th at the Wairarapa RSA on Essex street in Masterton. For more information or to RSVP please contact kate@vswai.co.nz

Brave books donated to children Warwick Delmonte of Paper Plus is larger than life, and with stories to match, he is also the innovative ideasman behind the brave books basket. The books were donated to Wairarapa Hospital last Tuesday to be distributed to children in hospital. “I promise I’ve screened them for age appropriateness . . . I think”, he quipped as he and Kalli Hooper presented the raft of new books to charge nurse manager, Tess Geard. “All kids have to be brave in hospital,” he said. “A new book to choose and take home might be enough of a distraction to make it all better.” The books sport a sticker “Paper Plus Bravery Book” and Paper Plus will keep the basket topped up as it runs out. Wairarapa District Health Board communications manager Anna Cardno said it was a “fabulous gesture that will be much appreciated by the littlest in our community”.

A Maori voice year-round I have missed working with schools. I had the luck to tell Wairarapa Maori stories to many students. Te wiki o te reo Maori or the Maori language week is a highlight in schools throughout the Wairarapa, running from September 10-16. Teachers will be preparing in the theme, taiao or environment, with phrases, concentrating on annunciation and looking at stories for the week. Many classrooms have a te reo Maori component throughout the year, but this week can bring a stronger focus. The percentage increase of Maori students in schools has been recognised by teachers and the Wairarapa Maori community are stepping up too. Over the past year kapa haka has been one of the real stand out achievers in the Wairarapa Maori community. In the past month the kura kaupapa from a primary school level qualiﬁed to perform on the national stage. This achievement follows our adults who qualiﬁed in the group, Te Rangiura o Wairarapa for the national competition. At the forefront of this success

Mokupuna of Wairarapa

Ra Smith are composers of waiata and haka that speak about Wairarapa. Teacher Shari Taylor, youth worker Mikey Kawana, and master communicator Irihapeti Roberts are some who have come through te reo Maori education and have returned Wairarapa to the national competition. In the wider community, kapa haka has been a star performer too. The school students who broke the world record attempt with the haka Ko Wairarapa brought attention to our region. While the moment was worthy of recognition, the wider understanding of the haka can’t be underestimated because it was knowledge that most school students have learned about. Students from Kahutara School performed Ko Wairarapa to me when they thanked me for being a storyteller. The willingness

from our schools throughout Wairarapa to learn about our Maori heritage is helping our children to face a New Zealand heritage that includes Maori aspects. The Maori language is the focus of an iconic event among our children and their schools, the kapa haka festival. It has been a pleasure to observe how serious it is for a wide range of schools throughout Wairarapa and as a result the performances have improved. Te reo Maori also means the Maori voice. At this time other New Zealanders have a Maori voice. Te Wiki o Te Reo Maori will celebrate a part of our New Zealand heritage. I am grateful to be alive to see a respect for Maori language not just for a week, but through the year.

Wow!

What a wonderful Daffodil Day result in this 28th year!

Daffodil Day 2018 was a wonderful burst of yellow with beautiful blooms filling the offices and homes around Wairarapa. The daffodils were glorious and plentiful this year, and you were all amazing in supporting us by purchasing daffodils and merchandise. Daffodil Day is a fantastic appeal for us and made all the more special because of everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contribution. We simply canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t manage Daffodil Day without the generosity from our volunteer suppliers, pickers, bunchers, and collectors. We are so grateful for your support. Funds raised will go to help supporting people who have cancer in our Wairarapa community, assist with targeted health promotion campaigns, supporting more information to aid in diagnostics and screening programmes, and continue funding essential research. The Cancer Society gets no direct funding from government and relies on the community to keep essential support services provided locally. That community is YOU. This year, you have helped raise in excess of $30,000 and we are still counting. I hope you are proud of the role you have played in Daffodil Day 2018. We know who you wear your daffodil for! Many, many thanks, Jacinta, Jacqui, Sandra and the Executive Board Cancer Society Wairarapa Inc

Daffodil Day collection The ROAR from Zone 4 Wairarapa Lions Activities for August 2018

Wanted: Recycled old spectacles and nonprescription sunglasses. This project is being run by Karori Lions Club and, during the months of May and June, 2410 pairs of spectacles and 240 pairs of non-prescription sunglasses have been sent to the Pacific Islands. Used glasses are cleaned and graded and Volunteer Opthalmic Services Overseas (VOSO) volunteers travel to the Islands to test and issue spectacles to residents who need them. If you have any old unwanted spectacles, please contact your local Lions or Lioness Club and they will arrange for them to be sent to the Karori Lions Club. Carterton Lions Club members geared up for one of the major fundraisers of the year, the annual Daffodil Festival in Carterton.

Members were busy all day, arranging stall holders, manning the pedestrian crossings and working in the food caravan. They hope you didn’t forget to try one of their famous hotdogs and a punnet of chips. Carterton Central Lions Club hosted medical students from the School of Medicine in Otago. We arranged speakers on various topics – the Mr Foureyes program that tests the eyesight of primary school children; living with Parkinson’s; the end of life from a Funeral Director; Alzheimer’s Wairarapa from the area coordinator; a Granny Reading program; the involvement of Lions in the community. All enjoyed a scrumptious lunch prepared by members. Members also supported the Big Latch On at the Events Centre by serving morning tea to the nursing mums and collected for the Blind Society and the Cancer Society. Masterton Holdsworth Lions Club have again been helping Mr Foureyes with vision screening at two local schools – Fernridge and Douglas Park – checking the new

entrants and follow ups since this time last year. Children’s books have been donated to the “Little Libraries” around town and some given to Te Awhina Cameron Community House. Members manned a site on Daffodil Day, collecting for the Wairarapa Cancer Society outside the Wairarapa Building Society. Greytown Lions Club would like you to recycle; collect wine bottle tops and crushed aluminium cans and these can be dropped off at South Wairarapa Computers (beside Fresh Choice) in Haswell St, Greytown. These are collected for “The Kan Tabs for Kidney Kids” project – check it out on www.kidneykids.org.nz. Wairarapa Ruamahanga Lions Club have had a successful planting session at the ANZAC Bridge with 95 native trees being planted. Members hosted three Italian exchange students at the beginning of the month, and students each planted a tree at the ANZAC Bridge. After several working bees, the club now has an enormous pile of gum logs split and drying out ready for next year’s firewood. The recent purchase of a log splitter has been

a great benefit to the firewood project. Greytown Lioness Club have recently donated 28 pairs of children’s pyjamas to the Wairarapa Hospital children’s Ward. Biscuits have been baked and delivered for Father’s Day to those fathers who live alone. Club meetings enjoyed two interesting speakers, Jenny Druziannic who spoke on the history of the old roses and Alex and Karly from Greytown Honey. Featherston Lioness Club have been testing their skills at craft making and a memory quiz.

President Shirley attended the first sod turning for the renowned artist Paul Dibble’s Featherston Camp Sculpture. Governor General Dame Patsy Reddy and South Wairarapa Mayor Viv Napier did the honours. Shirley and Zeta managed to be in the background of the Wairarapa Times-Age’s photograph of the event. The Club will participate in the local Featherston Expo. • For information about joining a Lions Club, go to www.lionsclubs. org.nz

The group’s away trip to Malborough earlier this year.

Beckie Wilson Rural isolation is not limited to how far out of town you live, but also where to turn when the pressures within farming life get too much. Feelings of isolation are not limited to rural men, which led a group of Wairarapa women to band together to combat the issue. The Wairarapa Rural Women’s Initiative began four years ago after Lynley Wyeth, Lucy Thornycroft and Ellie Cranswick felt they needed something else for “us farming ladies”, committee chair Wyeth said. “We were working, had young children, and we couldn’t make it to our husband’s discussion groups – we wanted an education forum for the ladies,” Wyeth said. The group, which meets every six weeks, started with about 20 members, but has since expanded into two groups with a total of about 45 members. Membership extends from Dannevirke to South Wairarapa. “We have everybody from women on the ground farming, to mums who are supporting their husbands with their rural businesses, to rural professionals,” she said. “It’s about education, comradery and support.

The women at a bull selection session.

“Isolation can be geographical isolation but also isolation in terms of who do I reach out to, who is feeling the pressure of farming, the pressure of the weather, or debt, or lamb prices. “It’s community pressure as well. “We are all in it together, but we often don’t know we are all feeling it.” The members take turns choosing what the topic of each meeting will be. They have completed sessions on health and safety, animal health, how to use chainsaws, addictions, butchery and ﬁnancial planning. The decision to split into two groups was to keep the sessions “a little more personal”. “It’s like everything that happens on tour stays on

tour,” Wyeth said. “We really open up about our businesses, our issues, thoughts and feelings, so we are very trusting to who is in our groups.” The group, an incorporated society, were unaware of any similar groups, but have since heard from like-minded women asking for tips on how to start and structure a similar group for their area, Wyeth said. Their ﬁrst away trip was held earlier this year, with a group of women travelling to Blenheim to meet with Doug Avery, a farmer who speaks out about resilience in the rural community.

Launch of small business consultation Last week Simon Bridges launched National’s 2020 election policy development process, beginning with the ‘Have your say’ listening campaign for small businesses. Amid this, Wairarapa Electorate MP Alastair Scott was out and about talking to local business owners about the issues they faced. “I heard from a range of small businesses talking about the challenges of recruiting skilled employees,” he said. “While they appreciate the principle of minimum wage they still need to balance the books, forcing employers to raise cost of production will cost jobs. “Wairarapa businesses need more skilled, efficient workers but struggle to find them. He said small business owners voiced their worries about changes to employment laws ahead. “Wairarapa’s businesses want to be enabled not restricted.” Bridges said the National party wanted to hear from New Zealanders about “what matters to you and your ideas for this country’s future” as policies are developed for the 2020 election. “We’re beginning with small businesses, the engine room of the economy. “They create $80 billion of wealth each year and employ some 600,000 Kiwis. “Small businesses deserve to be heard, go to national.org.nz/haveyoursay to share your views.”

When to bite your tongue Bill Orange

If you have a flair for writing, send your short stories (up to 600 words) to midweek@age.co.nz to be considered for publication.

Wai Write

“What’s new, Tom?” As he placed the drinks on the table and seated himself, Tom gave the question some considered thought. Fred and Tom were having their monthly meet and chat at the local while their wives were visiting their tonsorial artist as a prelude to Saturday’s ‘Old Time Dance with a Rural Theme’. “Well, Fred, you know I belong to a writing group?” “Yes, the Blairlogie Writing Group, isn’t it?” “That’s right, and the subject for next week’s story is ‘Biting Your Tongue.’ I’ve been chewing over it for a week. I’ve drafted a piece I’d like to run past you, if that’s okay?” “Sure, Tom, fire ahead.” “As a teen-aged varsity student I was told by an older fellow boarder, ‘Tom, get your brain into gear before you open your mouth.’ Here I am some 70 years later still having to bite my tongue.” “Is that it?” asked Fred. “That’s it, Fred, it says all I want to say.” “But you can’t believe that’s a story. It’s got no action, no . . .” “But that’s the point, Fred. The action is all

Tom and Fred talked as their wives visited the hairdresser.

“Well why don’t you put all that in the story?” “Fred, Fred, because I want to get the readers to think, to use their grey matter. It’s called ‘Show, don’t tell.’ I’ve given the readers enough clues to expand the story themselves.” “Well, good luck to you, Tom, I still don’t think

in your brain. It has a beginning, a middle and an end. It does not exceed the 200-word maximum, it’s about me, a precocious university student who was not living at home. It’s in the 1940’s and in my late teens. The second World War was still raging or had recently ended. This meant the

it’s a story, but I hope the other members of your group treat you kindly.” After discussing several other unrelated subjects Fred received a call to say their wives were ready to be collected and taken home. As they came out of the Salon Tom exclaimed, “What on earth have they done to your hair!” to which she replied rather tersely, “It’s the rural theme. Mine’s a bird’s nest.” Tom couldn’t help it – he should have bitten his tongue, “’Blackbird or sparrow?” • Bill Orange 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.

Central squad confirmed FOOTBALL

Sport

Jake Beleski Wairarapa United will be represented in the Central team that is contesting the upcoming National Women’s League. They already had six players named in the Capital squad for the event, and now Florence Macintyre has been named in the Central squad. Macintyre is in Year 13 at St Matthew’s Collegiate, after moving to Wairarapa from Nelson this year. Each previous National Women’s League season has consisted of a round robin format with the sides playing each other only once, while postseason playoffs were introduced in 2004. That meant form had to be found quickly as a slow start could soon put sides out of the running. They will have longer to keep their hopes alive from now on though, with the competition expanding to two full rounds, pitching the sides against each other both home and away. The revamped National Women’s League is set to get going this Saturday

and the two highestplaced sides will progress to a one-off grand final on the weekend of December 15-16, the winner of which will lift the trophy. Daniel Farrow, competitions and events

director for New Zealand Football, said it was a big step for women’s football. “The schedule has had a few challenges and I would like to thank all seven participating federations, respective

venues and all other stakeholders who have worked collectively to develop the schedule.” Central’s first match will be away to Southern United next Saturday. The Wairarapa United

players in the Capital squad are Anna McPhie, Courtney Norman, Dani Turton, Kelsi Rutene, Meisha Boone and Molly Woodhead.

A muddy celebration RUGBY UNDER 11S Ali Mackisack

They spent the rugby season sliding around in the mud and making tackles. So, it seemed only fitting that the combined East Coast and Eketahuna Under 11s rugby team, should celebrate the end of a great season by tackling a giant mudslide. Purpose built on his farm for the occasion by one of their coaches, the 40-metre mudslide was the highlight of the “Eke Coast” teams prizegiving barbecue. After a solid half hour of “all hands to the shovels” to finish off the final

section that would launch them into a dam at the bottom, it was time to test the slippery slope. Some kids got airborne, some got stuck, but every one of them got convincingly muddy. Siblings joined in and the queue at the top never got any shorter, as once down was never enough. Parents and supporters cheered from the sidelines, offering encouragement and advice as they had all season, close enough to get splattered but none ending up in the dam where at least some of the mud got washed away. “I’m so proud of these boys,” said Mike Higinbottom, who coached

the combined team along with Richard Sandall. “They got stuck in working as a team right from the start, and they turned up to every practice and every game, ready to work. “They just love playing rugby and it’s been a real pleasure to coach them.” With such a great team spirit established, and such a strong Under 11s grade in the 2018, the team and coaches are hopeful that Wairarapa Bush Rugby Union will create an Under 12s division for the next season, to prevent the drop-off in numbers that occurs when 11-year-olds are required to play as Under 13s.

Wai-Bush ÿ nd winning formula way his players responded to that particular challenge. In the 23rd minute Wairarapa-Bush found themselves with a midfield scrum, and No 8 Kirk Tufuga set off on a typically strong run before some quick hands put Flutey in space down the right flank. Wairarapa-Bush were patient as they went into their phases, and eventually the pressure was too much for East Coast to contain as second five-eighth Mike Lealava’a crossed from close range. That completed the scoring for the first half, with Tufuga, prop Sam Gammie and captain James Goodger leading

the way in an impressive Wairarapa-Bush forward eﬀort. The second half continued much like the ﬁrst, with both teams keeping the ball tight in the tricky conditions. Wairarapa-Bush turned down a kickable penalty in search of another try early in the half and found their way over the line, only for the play to be called back for a forward pass. It did not cost them in the end, however, as

Gammie scored two welldeserved tries to extend Wairarapa-Bush’s lead and cap off a stunning individual match. East Coast did manage a consolation try, but this was Wairarapa-Bush’s day. The forward pack laid the platform for Wairarapa-Bush to flourish, and the backs were able to capitalise in difficult conditions. Halfback Inia Katia looked assured in the role after spending the first two matches at fullback, while first five-eighth Glen Walters led the team around the park. Flutey was a standout on the wing, and showed how dangerous he can be when given room to move.

The win was especially important when looking at the teams WairarapaBush will take on in the next few weeks, with matches against Buller [home], HorowhenuaKapiti [away] and South Canterbury [home] coming up. Wairarapa-Bush are currently seventh on the points table with seven points, four points outside the top four.

HEARTLAND RESULTS: Wairarapa-Bush 26 East Coast 5; Thames Valley 43 Buller 22; King Country 22 North Otago 18; Mid Canterbury 36 West Coast 29; Wanganui 53 Poverty Bay 0; South Canterbury 52 Horowhenua-Kapiti 29.

Wairarapa College wins Trident title COLLEGE SPORT Jake Beleski

The Wairarapa College First XI boys’ football team produced their best football when it mattered most to win the secondary schools Trident Tournament at Palmerston North last week. The competition was part of winter sports tournament week, and Waicol came out on top over 20 other teams. Waicol won all six of their matches across the two pool stages, before beating Whanganui High School 1-0 in the semifinal, and Rosehill College on penalties in a thrilling final. Waicol were down 1-0 at halftime in the final, but Sam Murray – playing his 100th match for the school – equalised in the second half. The teams could not be separated in extra time, and Waicol won the penalty shootout 4-3. Coach Aaron Perkins was delighted for his team. “The week was fantastic – it was probably something I’ve targeted for two years with the group

I’ve got. “The conditions during the week were really difficult and challenging, and every day we rotated around different fields in Palmy because of the conditions, but we played some really good football.” Captain Corban Parker also brought up a special milestone at the tournament after leading the side for the 50th time in the final match. Perkins said his side had needed to play to their strengths against a big Rosehill team. “Physically, they were a lot bigger than us, but we just played good football. “Everything lined up for us, and it’s the first time we’ve won a tournament at that national level.” The other football teams competing at different tournaments last week enjoyed various levels of success. The Rathkeale College First XI went down 1-0 to Whangarei Boys’ High School in the final of the Rex Dawkins Tournament in Napier, while Kuranui College finished fourth at the 2nd XI tournament in New Plymouth.

On the girls’ side, St Matthew’s Collegiate ﬁnished third at the Gary Sowden Tournament in Blenheim.

Kuranui, Waicol and Solway College all contested the Grant Jarvis Tournament in Whanganui, ﬁnishing

fourth, eighth and 22nd respectively. The St Matthew’s Collegiate First XI hockey team put up a strong showing to finish 14th at the Federation Cup tournament in Whangarei, with Waicol coming fourth in the second tier Marie Fry Trophy. Solway College finished third at the Rosemary O’Brien Cup in Gisborne, while the Kuranui girls’ team finished seventh at the Kate Trolove Cup in Stratford. In boys’ hockey, Waicol finished third in the second tier India Shield competition, while Rathkeale finished 12th. In netball, Waicol finished 23rd in the A-grade of the Lower North Island Secondary Schools Netball tournament, and St Matthew’s finished 11th in the B-grade at the same event. The Waicol First XV rugby team retained the Captain’s Cup for the fifth year in a row and the Rathkeale Colts team finished second at the their annual under-15 tournament.

It had been more than a year since their last Heartland Championship victory, but WairarapaBush finally tasted that winning feeling once again on Saturday after claiming a bonus point win over East Coast in Ruatoria. That last victory also came against East Coast when Wairarapa-Bush won 36-10 on September 2 last year in Masterton. Saturday’s 26-5 victory is a much-needed confidence boost after two heavy defeats in the opening two rounds, and it was built on a dominant display from the Wairarapa-Bush forward pack. It was clear throughout the match that WairarapaBush were the more skilful team, but the boggy conditions acted as a leveller and ensured scoring points would be hard work for both teams. Wairarapa-Bush started strongly and after 10 minutes found themselves attacking the East Coast line. Several phases went by before first five-eight Glen Walters threw a cut-out pass to winger Tristan Flutey, who jinked back inside the defence before finding centre Matt Henderson who crossed in the corner. Wairarapa-Bush had started strongly in both of their opening two matches, but had struggled to maintain the momentum. Coach Joe Harwood had indicated that would be crucial to their chances on Saturday, and he would have been pleased with the
