Balancing highs and lows Serin Edwards speaks of managing his life as a Type-1 diabetic

Living with diabetes Emily Ireland The idea of “stabbing” yourself with needles multiple times each day can scare many people. But for Masterton’s Serin Edwards, and many others living with diabetes, if he doesn’t do it, “[he] would die”. Serin, a technician at the Masterton TRC Toyota dealership, was diagnosed with Type-1 diabetes at the age of 19. Now 31, he has accepted his condition as “normal life”, not letting it get in the way of work or leisure. Thinking back to his diagnosis more than a decade ago, Serin said the main symptom was his relentless fatigue which he would try to counteract by drinking Powerade before he was diagnosed. Little did he know that because of his diabetes, this was making things much worse.

Serin Edwards, of Masterton.

“I ﬁrst started noticing it at work – I would become quite lethargic and couldn’t do anything.” Before long, his bosses started to notice something was wrong and asked Serin

what was going on. “But in the end, it was my mother who made me go to the doctor. “I came home from work sick because I was just drinking so much

Powerade, which has a lot of sugar in them – it made things even worse. “I went to the doctor and they said I needed to go to the hospital. “They didn’t take me

up in an ambulance, but I was pretty much admitted straight away, and I was hooked to a machine with an IV that pumped me full of what I needed.” He said his blood sugar

level was “in the 40s – it should be between four and seven, so that was quite high”. Living with diabetes is a big “balancing act”, according to Serin. “Your pancreas is what produces your insulin. “Mine doesn’t work and that’s why I’m a diabetic now. “Lack of insulin makes your blood sugar levels go high, and too much insulin makes it go low.” When Serin’s blood sugar level goes too low, he starts shaking. “The adrenaline kicks in and my body is just trying to keep itself alive. “Essentially if that happens you have to take sugar or carbohydrates that keep your blood sugar level up there. “The other way is you can go hyperglycaemic which is when your blood sugar level is too high. “You end up being quite lethargic and you tend to need to go to the toilet a lot.” Upon diagnosis, Serin began using insulin pen needles and was injecting himself four to ﬁve times daily.

Troy Tatana

From violence to freedom Emily Ireland Troy Tatana’s upbringing taught him one thing, “take a swing, or get knocked out”. Violence was just a normal thing, and so was alcohol and drug abuse. But when he was courtordered to do a 16-week course with ChangeAbility in Masterton earlier this year, his life and behaviour started to change. The incident that landed him in court was “alcoholfuelled”, and it temporarily ended his relationship with his partner with whom he raises three children. “They have seen the bad side of me,” he said. “Before ChangeAbility, I didn’t realise I had a choice with my anger. “I was told as a young kid that I’ve always been an angry child. “Being brought up like that – you start to believe it. “I’ve been taught about my core beliefs which I am trying to change. “Some of my core beliefs are not good and they have

really held me back from the person that I want to become.” Troy said he wanted to be “more caring, compassionate, kinder, and more respectful of others”. “I’ve always been told I have a big heart, but I always tried to hide it because it wasn’t tough or staunch.” After the first 16 weeks with ChangeAbility, Troy decided he wanted more of it. “I’ve been there for about nine months now and I’m still learning heaps. “I’m trying to change my outlook and the way that I handle my anger.” He said his partner was “amazed” at the change in his behaviour – “especially when it comes to the kids”. “It’s not fair that I come home stressed from work, and the kids and partner are on egg shells waiting for me to snap. “The way I was brought up, I just thought that was normal – I thought that was the way men speak. “I’m learning that you don’t have to be like that to

Troy Tatana, of Masterton.

be a man.” Troy has had a long history with alcohol and drugs. He has been clean from needles for seven years after going cold turkey, and hasn’t had a drop of alcohol since the incident with his partner over New Years. “We broke up because of that reason, so I said, my family means everything

PHOTO/EMILY IRELAND

to me, so I gave up the alcohol.” He said going to ChangeAbility “really hit home” to him the damage he was inflicting on his family. “Now I am ready to change. “For me, it took a few weeks before a few things really hit home to me. “I realised I’m not the

nicest guy and that really made me want to change. “It was then that I started opening up and really participating. Troy is proudly “one of the longest-term people that have been going to ChangeAbility voluntarily”. “Anger is just an emotion and it’s a normal one too. “Everyone gets angry, but you have a choice about what you do with that anger.” Since 2001, ChangeAbility (formally known as SVSW) has supported and led awareness initiatives, such as the White Ribbon campaign, in Wairarapa. As part of their goal of making Wairarapa a safer place for everyone, they support individuals, families and whanau, and the community to respond safely and respectfully to people who are experiencing, affected by, or perpetrating family violence and sexual violence. White Ribbon Day, November 25, is the International Day for

the Elimination of Men’s Violence Towards Women. This year, men are asked to ‘Stand Up’ by taking the online pledge and committing to take one or more actions. The White Ribbon Ride is one of the most exciting initiatives tackling this country’s crippling domestic violence record. This week-long motorcycle tour happens every November. The White Ribbon Riders will be in Masterton and Featherston on November 19 to share their stories and talk about the White Ribbon kaupapa. They will be at Featherston School from 11.30am until 12.45pm and Makoura College in Masterton from 1.25pm until 2.45pm on November 19. Take the White Ribbon Pledge at whiteribbon.org. nz. • For more information about Changeability, visit changeability.org. nz, call 06 377 0933, or email contact@ changeability.org.nz.

Diabetes affects 2500 people in Wairarapa Continued from page 1 A couple of years later, he moved on to using an insulin pump. An insulin pump is a device that provides the body with regular insulin throughout the day through a flexible tube (cannula), inserted under the skin. Serin will still test his blood sugar levels six times a day – “on a good day”. When asked whether

diabetes limited the things he was able to do in life, Serin responded with, “it’s how you let it affect you”. “If you want to let it affect your life in a way, it will. If you choose not to, you can do what you want. “I don’t let it affect me. “I’ve played sports, football, done all those things where I have had to take my pump off and be without insulin at times.” Serin said the biggest misconception about

diabetes was “that you are not allowed to have sugar if you are a diabetic – I probably have more now than before when I wasn’t a diabetic”. “It’s about balancing carbohydrates and sugar. “You don’t go shopping and just grab something off the shelf. “You see what’s in it. “There’s a lot of label reading – just to make things a bit easier in life.”

Diabetes Awareness

November is Diabetes Awareness Month. About 2500 people are affected by Type-1 and Type-2 diabetes in Wairarapa. On Saturday, November 17, an entertaining and informative event has been organised locally to raise awareness of diabetes. The day, organised by Diabetes Wairarapa, will run from 11am until 3pm at Club Carterton.

It will feature a cooking demonstration by Jax Hamilton, buffet lunch, and live music from Ray Woolf and The Roger Fox band. Tickets are $10 and are available from the Osborne Group offices at 3 Waltons Ave, Kuripuni, Masterton, and The Hub, 78 Main St, Greytown.

Female worker dies at Kiwi Lumber Elisa Vorster Staff at Masterton mill Kiwi Lumber are “absolutely devastated” after a female worker was tragically killed onsite last Friday. Emergency Services were called to the Waingawa industrial area on Norman Ave shortly after 8.30am in response to reports of a workplace accident. An ambulance and fire engine were seen leaving the yard around 9.30am, as a number of police from both the criminal

investigation branch and response group arrived. Several staff members could be seen comforting each other in the yard behind the reception in what has been described as “a tragic day.” “All efforts are focused on the victim’s family, the team they worked with, and the people at the site,” a Kiwi Lumber spokesperson said. “We are absolutely devastated for everyone. “Our thoughts and hearts are with the family.”

Staff and police guarded the gate to the yard which is usually open as vehicles come and go from the yard. Senior Sergeant Mike Sutton said police were unable to confirm the age of the woman who died or the circumstances leading up to the incident but confirmed her family had been notified on Friday morning. “We are continuing to investigate the incident in conjunction with WorkSafe NZ and the coroner,” he said.

“It’s too early to say where the investigation will go – it’s still in the early stages.” Since 2010 there have been eight workplace fatalities in Wairarapa and 138 serious harm incidents reported to WorkSafe NZ. The last workplace fatality in the region occurred in Masterton in 2016, when there were three separate workplace deaths within the space of three months.

Six young parents have graduated a two-day parenting workshop at Wairarapa Safer Community Trust (WSCT) as part of their Youth Services obligation. The programme was Positive Tools for You and Your Child, delivered by Sam Williams, the coordinator of Proactive Parenting Services at (WSCT). She was assisted by youth coach Abby Cooper. Taking part in the programme were four young mums and two young dads who learned about and discussed all aspects of bringing up young children, from topics like brain development, to child safety, stress management, and play. Sam said there was some lively discussion, and “insightful feedback” from participants who are “all busy parents with very young children. “Their attendance, and effort is commendable.” Matthew Pike, 19 said he learned “what not to do and what to do”. He said the most important part of

parenting was to praise good behaviour, and “enjoy the time you have with your kids”. Gabby Anderson, 19, said the course opened up her eyes about child safety “certainly around other people”. Lana Workman, 19, has a seven-month-old daughter. “I’ve learned so much,” she said. “I’ve learned how her brain works and how it all connects at different stages, and different ages.” She said she also learned about the different types of communication that her daughter would use at each age. Jade Reiri, 19, learned that it was “okay to make mistakes”. “Parenting is stressful, but at the end of the day, you just need to do what’s best for you and your child. “If you’re not coping, then your child won’t be able to either.” She said she would recommend other parents partake in parenting courses. “It may not sound fun, but it educates you and you walk out happy and you just can’t wait for the rest of your life.”

New media hub celebrated People gathered at Wairarapa community radio station Arrow FM to celebrate the new media hub last Friday. The station had to move out of the historic Empire building, which is being demolished to make way for a new furniture store. Arrow FM joined forces with Wairarapa TV to establish a media hub in Radio House on Queen St. Arrow FM manager

Michael Wilson said last week’s celebration was to say thank you to all the groups and individuals who helped with the move. He acknowledged Masterton Trust Lands Trust, which owns the building, for giving Arrow FM a “very reasonable” rate on its lease. Wilson also thanked Rotary who have supported the station’s move to television

broadcast, with infrastructure built by Toby Mills and John Lynch. Masterton Mayor Lyn Patterson said the new set up was very impressive. The radio station is upstairs, so Wilson said recording sessions were held weekly at the Wairarapa Community Centre for those in wheel chairs and with physical disabilities.

Two arson attacks in Masterton Hayley Gastmeier and Beckie Wilson

The tenant of a makeshift house in rural Carterton has been charged with arson. And the owner of the property says he is gutted about the loss. Roger Kenneth Simpson, 66, appeared in Masterton District Court last Thursday charged with intentionally damaging a building on Mangatarere Valley Rd by fire on Wednesday afternoon. Prosecutor Freya O’Meara said police opposed bail as they deemed Simpson a safety risk to the public. However, Judge Craig Thompson granted bail on the grounds that Simpson was of a “mature age” and had no previous convictions. Firefighters, who were called to the remote blaze at about 5.30pm, were unable to save the building, which was an old train carriage that had been converted into a house with added structures. The owner, Blair McGregor, who lived next door, was out tending to his bees when he noticed thick smoke. He said he rushed over to the property to find it engulfed in flames.

McGregor said he and his wife had lived in the unpermitted train carriage until saving enough money to build themselves their home on land next door. The carriage had been occupied by Simpson, a friend, for the past six years, but the Carterton District Council had

recently issued an Insanitary Building notice on the structure. McGregor said he had been encouraging his friend to move to another house with better living conditions for some time, but this did not eventuate and the relationship between the pair had

become strained. “We went to help someone, and it’s just turned out terrible.” Simpson and McGregor have a case before the Tenancy Tribunal this week. Simpson was remanded on bail to a Masterton motel, supplied by WINZ.

He was told not to contact McGregor, but he was allowed to attend scheduled tribunal hearings. Simpson’s next court appearance is later this month. Wairarapa firefighters and police attended a second suspected arson

last Thursday, leaving a “family in need” without a home. The suspicious fire was lit at a Trust House property on Tay Pl, Masterton, some time before 7am. Detective Raewyn Smellie confirmed the fire was deliberately lit, and the house was not tenanted. Firefighters managed to save the single-storey dwelling, but there was “moderate damage” to the inside. Trust House chief executive officer Allan Pollard estimated the cost of the damage to be from $15,000 to $20,000. He said a family were lined up to move into the property this week. “It’s not a disaster – it’s not a demolition job – but it is disappointing.” Pollard confirmed the property was empty, but Trust House had a family, who were in emergency accommodation, lined up to move in this week. The family would now have to wait for the house to be repaired, which would likely take a couple of months. A fire investigator and police’s Criminal Investigation Branch continue to make inquiries, with no arrests made to date.

WITH

Ravishing Roses

CELTIC HONEY. With perfectly shaped flowers, opening from apricot salmon buds to non fading honey toned apricot,this sweet little Patio Rose will look delightful placed in a pot for all to admire.

Roses have been around for centuries and they are still a best seller for the home garden and extremely popular as a gift. Their popularity isn’t surprising considering the outstanding selection of colours and fragrance available. Here at GardenBarn we’re very fortunate to have access to many top growers in the country – and it does pay to buy from the best so can be sure you’re getting a quality plant that will to be healthy and reward you with its beauty. It’s common to plant roses in the winter, as this is when the new stocks come into the Garden Centres but you can still plant now. The bonus of buying at this time of year is that there are many coming into bloom, so you can see what you are buying. Following is a few important tips to get your Roses off to the best start in life.

Water is crucial for survival It’s extremely

important for the survival and quality & health of your rose to water it thoroughly for at least the first month. As a guide: in the first week give your rose a bucket of water two times per day; then water twice daily, 3-4 times per week, and keep that up for the first month. It’s important to water the roots, not the foliage.

Spraying Throughout the summer growing season you should use a preventative spray to try and keep your plants pest and fungus free. Combat 3 in 1 is perfect for this as it’s a fungicide, insecticide and fish fertiliser combined. This has been so popular here at GardenBarn we keep selling out! Powdery mildew can be a problem at this time with roses and Yates Fungus Gun is a

Feeding Well nourished plants fight pest & disease more efficiently, and there are many quality fertilisers for you to choose from – including ican 24 Plus Slow Food (for pots or garden) or Kings Rose Food (for gardens only). If your garden is on the acidic side then you can add some Kings Garden or Dolomite Lime. Once again, keep up with thorough watering and mulch to keep moisture in (keep mulch away from the stem). Pruning Just a deadhead

Its purple flowers with old fashioned fragrance will delight your senses. and need to be pruned during Summer after their main flowering. Because Ramblers generally only flower once in the season, if they are pruned in Summer (January), they will then send up their new growth over the rest of Summer which you will train, then these canes will have flowers on them the following Spring. If you prune Ramblers during the Winter, you will be removing the new rose canes that will be carrying the next flush of flowers and your rose will probably not flower that season.

Growing In Pots Roses grow happily in pots if the pot is a generous size. A pot around 20L will happily grow a rose bush for up to three years if you use a premium potting mix. Watering is

Planting Before planting it would be helpful to soak the rose in a bucket of water with some ican Fast Food added in. This may help with transplant shock and gives it a thorough nutritious soaking before going into the ground. Dig the hole deeper and wider than the pot it came in, add some Tui Rose & Shrub Mix and ican 24 Plus Slow Food and carefully place the plant in the hole (taking care of the roots) so that the crown of the rose is level, or slightly above, ground level. Give it a lovely big drink with the bucket of water it’s been soaking in – or if you missed that step give it a bucket of water to drink and mulch.

Video store closing down

Carterton

Pam Graham

The video store in Carterton is closing but the Post Plus Centre and engraving businesses will move to other locations in town. Owner Tony Allen said he can’t say where the Post Plus business is moving to because the contract has to be completed but a “mainstream business location” has been found. He said the key message to residents was that Post Plus was staying and he was keen for people to give the new owners a break until they got up to speed. The store provides all post office services except banking. He said he and his staff were abused when he first took on the Post Plus Centre at the former Post Office, moving his video business, then Video Ezy, there. He said the decision to close the Post Office was made by NZ Post, but residents took it out on his staff. “We had little old ladies giving us the finger. “It wasn’t us who forced NZ Post to close, they got the wrong end of the stick.” He said people should be aware that the new owners of Post Plus would be on a steep learning curve.

Owner Tony Allen, right, and manager Tara Apperley.

“No service will be lost to the town. “It will simply be in a different place run by different people,” he said. “My fear is it [misdirected anger] may happen to the new owners while they are struggling to get their heads around the business,” he said. The engraving business inside the rental store was also moving to another location in Carterton, which would be disclosed

PHOTO/PAM GRAHAM

when the contract was finalised. He is closing after 11 years in the town mostly because the DVD, games and TV show rental business had declined so much it was no longer viable to keep going. He said turnover was 10 per cent of what it was 10 years ago. “We had negated it by diversifying into other businesses,” he said. The Post Plus centre

was one diversification, giftware was another, the engraving business, and a gluten-free food business were also ventures fitted into the space that was the former Post Office. A multitude of other smaller business issues had come at the same time, prompting the decision to close. Allen lives in Greytown where he also owns the pharmacy. He said he’ll initially

take a holiday. The video business closes on November 30, and Post Plus shuts on December 21. The building is leased and is subject to a Waitangi Tribunal settlement. Allen said High St retailing was increasingly a struggle unless people could find niche business that worked. Online transactions were affecting all businesses.

Carterton Events Centre has been named one of the country’s top venues, showing that the little town can take on bigger cities when it comes to putting on a good show. The centre was last week confirmed as a finalist for the Small Venue of the Year category in the Entertainment Venues Association of New Zealand Awards [EVANZ]. The annual awards recognises the success and achievements of various venues throughout New Zealand. For the second time in the past three years, the Carterton centre is one of three finalists nationwide vying for the award. Being the only venue outside

PHOTO/FILE

of a city to be recognised, the centre is punching well above its weight, going up against big city venues such as Auckland’s ASB Waterfront Theatre and the Q Theatre.

The centre has been providing the region with premier functions since it opened in 2011. Venue coordinator David Sims said it was “incredibly exciting” the facility had been recognised on a national level. Carterton Mayor John Booth said the venue continued to go from strength to strength and wasn’t surprised to see it being recognised nationally. The building features a new auditorium and meeting spaces while incorporating one of New Zealand’s oldest library buildings – a recognised historic building on the New Zealand Heritage List. Its design also uses best

practice ‘environmentallysustainable design’ principles and features such as using rainwater recycling to flush toilets, a passive thermal design and low- and zero-emission finishes. The auditorium is also known for its use of locally-grown and milled timber from the JNL mill in its design. It is also the second building worldwide to use a New Zealand-developed application to make walls earthquakeresistant. The winner will be announced at the Evanz awards dinner at Eden Park in Auckland on November 27.

MIDWEEK PHOTOS

Take the plunge

Opinion

This week’s editorial isn’t so much words of wisdom from me, but rather, words of wisdom shared by a friend on Facebook. What this friend shared was a chart that compared the habits of successful people with the habits of unsuccessful people. The chart goes as follows: successful people read every day; unsuccessful people watch TV every day. Successful people compliment, unsuccessful people criticise. Successful people embrace change, forgive others, and talk about ideas; unsuccessful people fear change, hold a grudge, and talk about people. Successful people continuously learn, rather than think they know it all; they accept responsibility for their failures, rather than blaming others for their failures; and they have a sense of gratitude, rather than a sense of entitlement. And last, but definitely not least, successful

Piece of mind

CUTIE OF THE WEEK

Emily Ireland The Yes Theory presenter said the challenge had always been a goal of his to complete, and so, 30 days out from the event, he entered. Although he was quite fit, he had doubts that he would even be able to finish the race, but he did. All he needed to do was set the goal and take the plunge. With just 30 days to prepare, physical strength was important, but mental strength was vital. So, he followed the advice of a Navy Seal who told him: “when your mind is telling you you’re done, you’re really only 40 per cent done”. So, your challenge is to set a goal, reach that 40 per cent mark where you think you couldn’t possibly continue, and just keep going.

people set goals and develop life plans; unsuccessful people never set goals. This last one can be tough. Some of us fall into the trap of not setting goals to avoid failure. The problem with doing this is that we also close ourselves off to potential success and end up living a pretty mundane life with perhaps no downs, but no ups either. I recently watched a video on the Yes Theory YouTube channel, in which one of the creators entered himself and a friend into an Ironman 70.3, also known as a Half Ironman. The “70.3” refers to the total distance in miles (113.0 km) covered in the race, consisting of a 1.2-mile (1.9 km) swim, a 56-mile (90 km) bike ride, and a 13.1-mile (21.1 km) run.

Their shared experience led to important advocacy work, lasting friendships, and the exhibition Kermadec: Lines in the Ocean, which toured nationally and abroad, with its final Aotearoa venue at Aratoi. ‘John Builds a House on Ancestral Land, Liku’ was exhibited at the 2018 Aratoi Artists’ Auction and anonymously gifted to the museum.

Zodiacs across the sky Sky Watch

Nick Sault This week, six zodiac constellations parade across the sky. Best to look tonight, as the moon will begin to spoil things as the week goes on. But if you want to recognise your birth constellation, read on. I have to explain that I am definitely not into astrology, but the signs are a good way to gain recognition of the constellations, especially when there is a personal connection. The best time is around 10pm. If you look due north at that time, the great square of Pegasus hovers above the horizon – you can’t miss it. The Zodiac line sweeps one step higher in the sky from north-east right through to south-west. In the north-east, Taurus is rising – his V shape horns easy to recognise (see picture), with the red star Aldebaran embedded within them. Try to get the Taurus shape in your mind, as it will come in handy.

Moving east, the string of stars that is Pisces run just above that Pegasus square, but we passed by Aries in finding Pisces. You should see the two major stars of Aries just to the north east of the fish’s tail. Follow the string of Pisces up towards Mars. You’ll see the red planet high in the north-west, and between Pisces and Mars you’ll pass across Aquarius. Carry on towards the south-west and you cannot miss the crescent moon. It is plonk inside the Capricornus asterism. Carry on down into the south-west and fairly bright Saturn is just above the horizon there, temporarily in Sagittarius. On Friday evening, the half moon (technically it is called first quarter, as it is a quarter through its monthly cycle) is nestled right by Mars, halfway between Aquarius and Capricornus. We are still on track to see comet 46P/Wirtanen in mid-December.

Schematic of the Taurus constellation.

At present it is in our evening sky in the constellation of Fornax, overhead about midnight. But don’t look too hard. Currently you would need at least a 150mm telescope, as it is still 37 million kilometres away. But make a date for December 17 when the comet is just over 11

million kilometres away. It is predicted to brighten to magnitude 3, making it as visible as the dimmer stars of the Southern Cross. On December 17, the comet will be in Taurus, mentioned above. However, comets are very unpredictable. Fingers crossed, as the

comet’s brightness could go either way. Finally, if you are up around 4am Sunday, cast an eye to the north-east to catch some Leonid meteors. It could be a good show, but for us in New Zealand, not the best time of night. • Up next: The three brightest stars.

Mothers’ Union celebrates 70 Emily Ireland The Epiphany branch of Mother’s Union in Masterton celebrated its 70th birthday last week. Described as the cement that holds Epiphany Anglican Church together, the Mothers’ Union is a worldwide organisation with more than four million members. The Epiphany branch is the only surviving Mothers’ Union in Wairarapa. Members gathered at the church last week to celebrate the birthday over afternoon tea. They brought with them memorabilia they had in their possession from 70 years ago. Former leader Marjorie Nevin had a vast collection of Girl Guide badges that she talked about with those at her table. “Everything I am today really is because of the Guides,” she said.

We went up to London and we slept at Buckingham Palace – but wait for it – we slept in the Mews where the horses stayed. She showed a picture of herself from when she was 15 and said that it was a couple of years after that that she “got Queen’s Guide”. “We went up to London and we slept at Buckingham Palace – but wait for it – we slept in the Mews where the horses stayed. “The next day we got our badges.” Marjorie first joined Mothers’ Union in 1965 in England. “I’ve never looked back. “It has always been such a friendly organisation.” Marjorie’s mother and

grandmother were also in the Mothers’ Union. “I came out to New Zealand 14 years ago when my husband died. I instantly got a welcome with Mothers’ Union and was made a leader.” Another former leader Bernice Olsen joined Mothers’ Union in 1985. “The Mothers’ Union is designed to be a voice for parents and children. “I feel we do a lot of good in our quiet way. “We do what we can wherever we can. “Everybody that does a little gesture, it radiates out.” Current leader Cheryl Hansen said although she is a relative newcomer, being a member of the Mothers’ Union gave her “a real sense of purpose”. The oldest surviving Mothers’ Union leader Edith Stewart was also present at last week’s celebration.

It’s ‘Just Us’ Emily Ireland If you ask the cast of Just Us what their upcoming concert is about, they’ll tell you that the answer is in the title. The brainchild of Masterton’s Eilish Carmichael, Just Us is a nod to “everything that has been” in musical theatre, featuring 38 of the cast’s favourite tunes from musicals across the years. The production stars Eilish, Mark Richardson, and sisters Bridget and Siobhan Connor, and is musically directed by Anna McBride. Anna said Just Us took “a whole lot of songs” that either inspired them or would potentially inspire their audience. “When we first met up, we thought about this theme of strong women,” she said. “That was the starting point and so we chose songs that conveyed that message, or songs sung by characters with a relevant

MATS holds a special place in each performers heart, but especially for Siobhan and Bridget. “We’ve got a lot of

Founded by Norm Wilton, the Dixon Street store has been Wairarapa’s one-stop pet shop for over 40 years. More recently it has been owned by Tracey Cooper.

It has a wide selection of products for cats and dogs, and also caters for all other types of pets including fish, birds, lizards, turtles, rabbits, guinea pigs, rats and mice.

Hayley Gastmeier A historic homestead that lies in between Lake Wairarapa and Lake Onoke is on the market. Papatahi homestead was built in 1905 on a sprawling country estate that overlooks the Tararua and eastern ranges, 30 minutes from Featherston. The 6.2ha section was originally part of the giant Waiorongomai block taken up by Charles Matthews in 1855. The block was later subdivided among family members and Papatahi was taken over by Charles’ grandson, Harold. Papatahi homestead remained in the family

until it sold to the late Joy Mebus (nee Corleison) in the late 1990s. Mebus, a former Solway College pupil and classical music enthusiast, added a second storey to the homestead to make more room for friends and family, with her sons being pioneers of grape growing in the East Taratahi area. The ﬁve-bedroom colonial-style house has been well maintained and is in “excellent condition”, featuring a library with ﬂoor-to-ceiling shelving, a wine cellar, and a timber panelled “great room” in which galas and weddings have been hosted. The original character of the home has been

which Papatahi has. Harcourts agent Brady Bingham, of Hamill Realty, said after 20 years in the same family came the opportunity to become the new owner of a “unique piece of history”. “The property has been a cherished family home. “Joy had it renovated lovingly and without any expense spared, but the family are ready for it to

ﬁnd its next custodians.” Bingham said while the property was no doubt on a grand scale, it was “also quite cosy” and oﬀered versatile living. • The property, which can be viewed by private appointment, is being sold by a deadline sale, which closes at 4pm on November 29, unless sold prior.

With a rateable value of $1,480,000, the property oﬀ Western Lake Rd also features a restored, selfcontained cottage. Historian Gareth Winter, of Wairarapa Archive, said the garden was designed by Alfred Buxton, the “nation’s paramount landscape designer” primarily during the 1920s and 1930s. Winter said Buxton designed a number of gardens for big Wairarapa homesteads, that often featured weeping elms and pergolas with wisteria,

Make bad habits hard

As the weather warms up during summer we often see an increase in grass seed related problems. Barley grass is abundant this time of year and the effects on dogs lead to many emergency trips to the vet. The bristlelike fibres of these seeds make them stick to various surfaces. They cling to the fur of dogs and other animals. Due to their shape the seeds burrow into fur and skin where they might become lodged. They can enter nose or ears, get between eye and eyelid and are often found between toes. If a seed is not removed immediately, muscular movements cause it to burrow deeper into the body travelling many inches sometimes reaching the animals internal organs. You can protect your pet by avoiding areas with tall seeding grass. Clipping longhaired dogs, especially between toes will aid in prevention. If your dog has been on a grassy adventure check their coat carefully, removing any seeds. Look especially behind the ears,

around the head and eyes, in the ‘armpits’, groins and between the toes. If you cannot remove a seed contact your veterinarian as soon as possible since it will only become more deeply buried and harder to take out. Once seeds become buried it is often very difficult to find them. The entry point may or may not be visible, especially if it has migrated several inches. Treatment can be very tricky at times often requiring an anaesthetic to explore an abscess and having to make several incisions in an attempt to find the seed. Protect your pet from encounters with grass seeds. If your pet is having a problem due to seeds, contact your veterinarian as soon as possible, before a very serious condition develops.

I won the lottery

On a recent podcast episode of The Minimalists a listener question came in asking ‘if you won the lottery how would it change your attitude towards minimalism?’. The answer given from Ryan and Josh (the Minimalists) was that they had already won the lottery simply by being born in The United States, stating that there are so many who would give anything to be in their position, as is demonstrated by the huge number of people attempting to make the journey from Central American countries to the United States every day, or the refugees making the perilous journey across the Mediterranean on overpacked and dangerous boats to get from Northern Africa to Europe. Many of us have already ‘won the lottery’ simply by birth right; we need to do our best to make the most of our ‘winning tickets’,

Tim Nelson something that so many around the world are risking their lives to have on a daily basis.

Why Stephen King has so much success as a writer

This is a theme that has come across in many of my posts, but because it appears so often in what I read it is something that should be repeated. Stephen King is a prolific and hugely successful writer, with many bestselling stories and screenplays, including the likes of The Shawshank Redemption and The Running Man. King attributes his success to two things, these being that he reads a lot of works by other authors, and that he writes every day, including on Christmas Day. The point here is that to get better at something it is important to actually do more of it, whether it be writing, cooking, running, learning to play a musical instrument, or any other new skill or craft.

Don’t make things so hard that you won’t do them

I watched a YouTube video which featured a YouTuber following the evening routine of Tim Ferris, a popular author and podcaster.

One thing that became immediately obvious to me was the complexity of the routine, which included a sauna, plunge pool, drinking tea, drinking water, a bath, listening to an audiobook, and reading nonfiction. This might all work for Tim Ferris (it would be interesting to see how often he follows it), but for most there is just too much involved. I believe that if you do have an evening routine it should be relaxing and enjoyable, as well as not being complicated, as this is far more likely to be something that you will do regularly, as opposed to doing for that brief period when you have had that hit of inspiration after seeing someone you admire doing it.

The benefits of social media for teenagers Often we hear about the negative aspects of social media, particularly in regards to children and young adults who can be negatively influenced or made to feel bad about themselves when their experiences don’t match the highlight reel of the lives that others share on Instagram.

However, author and New York Times parenting columnist KJ Dell’Antonia has a different perspective. She sees social media as a means of connecting youth with others in situations in which it would be hard to otherwise. For example, the teenager with a passion for Manga cartoons in an isolated community can connect with groups half a world away to share and develop his or her passion through a group Facebook page. The point is that, although there are obvious and proven problems with the various forms of social media for children, there are also substantial benefits through the many platforms that are available for online sharing and connecting.

kitchen the fruit was there in front of him, reminding him to eat it. The same concept could be applied to other areas of our lives. For example, if you’re learning the guitar leave the instrument on a stand in the lounge where it is hard to miss. This makes it accessible and reminds you of your goal of learning it, making it just that little bit easier than if it is tucked away in a cupboard. If it’s right in front of you, you’ll do it, if it’s out of sight you won’t.

Make bad habits hard to do

Habits expert James Clear does what many of us do – he buys fruit and puts it in the fresh draw in the fridge, then throws it away uneaten at the end of the week. To overcome this problem James did something really simple, this being to buy a fruit bowl and place it somewhere in the kitchen where it can’t be missed. Doing so, he increased the amount that was eaten and reduced the amount that was thrown away, simply because every time he went into the

I discussed the idea of making positive habits easier to do, with the example of the fruit bowl in the kitchen full of fruit as a way of developing the habit of healthy eating. Conversely, we can potentially remove bad habits from our lives by making them harder to do. An example of this could be the habit of endlessly scrolling through social media feeds on our phones. A way of making this habit harder to do could be to sign out of all social media apps and deleting them off your phone; making access that little bit harder to do in the moment. The accounts could still be accessed through your laptop, so they aren’t being removed from our lives (as there are many positive aspects of social media), rather, they just aren’t as pervasive.

Donations ‘overwhelming’ Stealing from kids is the lowest of the low. I thought ‘stuff that, I’m going to do something about it’.

Elisa Vorster A call-out on social media from More FM Wairarapa’s Brent Gare has seen Wairarapa Hospital overwhelmed with more donations than it can handle. Last week, Brent asked the community to donate DVDs to the hospital to replace the 35 DVDs which went missing from one of the rooms used to comfort children in distress. The hospital now has more than 1300 DVDs, a new TV, and more than $1000 in cash donations. “The response to the DVD request has been humbling to say the least and it is an example of what makes the Wairarapa community so unique,” the hospital’s acute services charge nurse manager, Kathryn Wadsworth, said. “We as a service are here to help anyone who needs us, and it is very clear that our community are equally as available to help us.” Gare said he knew he had to help as soon as he heard about the missing DVDs. “Stealing from kids is the lowest of the low,” he said. “I thought ‘stuff that,

I’m going to do something about it’.” He expected they would get “a couple of hundred” DVDs but was blown away when they had already surpassed that figure on the first day. Donations came from

across the region and as far away as Wellington, Palmerston North and even Whangarei. Although Gare had only asked for DVDs, the hospital was also generously donated a TV with inbuilt DVD

player by 100% Newbolds Masterton, a $1000 cheque from Lee Malneek Limited and a $20 cash donation from a young girl named Maserati Neligan. Wairarapa DHB communications manager

Anna Cardno said she was overwhelmed by the quick response from the community. “From the theft of a few comes the gift of thousands,” she said. “BG’s swift call out on More FM was a genius initiative and his status updates by text to me were going up in the hundreds hourly. “Although we will be sharing through our hospital wards and community services, there are far more DVDs here than we can give credit to. “We will be discussing with More FM the opportunity to share the community’s goodwill with other deserving charities. “Wairarapa’s wonderful donors can rest assured that all these DVDs will find an appropriate home, for use by deserving children in need of a distraction.”

Chef feeds her community Elisa Vorster An Eketahuna chef has a dream to one day build a yurt in her backyard so she can have a cup of tea and a lie down with all her friends. Kate Roberts has lived in Eketahuna for the past 11 years, making a name for herself by spreading love to her community through her food. Her latest project ‘A cup of tea and a lie down’ sees her home-based catering brand ‘Anderson Street Kitchen’ join forces with Emma Elliott’s ‘Begin where you are’ yoga in a series of three sessions combining fresh, wholesome food with restorative yoga. The first session held in Eketahuna recently was a hit, with all spots sold out ahead of the event, thanks largely to word of mouth. Roberts knows her way around the kitchen, having worked at various establishments in the UK, Palmerston North and Wairarapa. Her new venture Anderson Street Kitchen is currently operating on a small scale but has already seen her hold stalls at The Great Eketahuna Cheese Festival, as well as catering for private celebrations. “I’ve lived in Eketahuna for 11 years, so I have a

A multi-million-dollar vintage aviation centre and museum is at the heart of plans to boost tourism in the region. The development of a world-class visitor attraction at Masterton’s Hood Aerodrome has been in the works for the past four years and is now ready to be taken the next step, the National Aviation Centre Trust chair Bob Francis says. The Wairarapa Economic Development Strategy, launched on Monday night, focuses on a number of key areas in the region needing a boost including a high-tech hub, water, air services, and tourism and Francis said the aviation centre tied in nicely with the strategy’s goals. Over the past four years the trust had raised $100,000 to fund feasibility studies and investigations into similar facilities around the world, he said. The centre is expected to have many elements, including interactive displays that visitors can

be engaged with, and will link in with the Vintage Aviator Ltd, owned by Sir Peter Jackson, which already has a substantial operation at Hood Aerodrome. The company owns a large number of vintage aircraft and runs regular flying weekends. Working together with the trust, the World War I aircraft collection will be on display at the new centre. The plan is for it to complement the aerodrome, and Wings Over Wairarapa. “We are aiming for something at the top end and something this region can be proud of, which will attract international visitors.” Masterton District Council had been supportive of the project, and 12 months ago specially purchased a 4ha piece of land that neighbours the aerodrome, Francis said. “That’s been a real positive and has given us confidence to move forward,” he said. Francis said the finer detail and concept of

the centre was yet to be finalised but said significant work was planned to be done within the next 12 months. “It is ambitious, but we are going to give it a go, it’s pretty exciting.” The trust has signed on Select Contracts, a Canadian attraction developer and operator, to support the centre. “We are excited to be involved at such an early stage of this event which has the potential to become a key attraction for Wairarapa and the wider Wellington region,” Select Contracts regional director Darron Charity said. Former Labour education minister Steve Maharey, who put the strategy together, said it was pleasing to see traction already being made in some key areas of focus. “News that an agreement has been reached over developing a significant aviationfocused visitor attraction at Hood Aerodrome is a positive milestone,” he said.

Community hub close to opening in town Hayley Gastmeier All going to plan, the keys to the Waihinga Centre will be handed over to the South Wairarapa District Council this week, marking the end of a momentous but controversial project. The development is almost ﬁnished, involving the restoration of the historic Martinborough Town Hall, built in 1912, with the extension of a multi-purpose community hub. Martinborough councillor Pip Maynard said while it was exciting

for the town, it was disappointing the project had been “consistently running behind its committed timeframes”. “I am hoping time will be made up in the completion of the park for our local and visiting children to enjoy soon. “I look forward to seeing our community making the most of this new asset.” The total budget for the Waihinga Centre was approximately $5.3million, which included a $200,000 contingency. Council chief executive

Paul Crimp said the council would be working closely with the library, i-Site, Plunket, and the toy library to “ensure a smooth transition to their new home in the centre”. An oﬃcial opening and blessing of the building will take place in early December, with the date yet to be set. Crimp said the hope was to have some “highproﬁle guests” for the opening event. Stage 2 of the project will include a new playground and landscaping for future outdoor events.

Waka ama a new tool in the classroom While the resurgence of waka ama in recent years has been in the pursuit of sport and recreation, a Masterton Kura Kaupapa Maori is eyeing another use for the traditional Maori outrigger canoe. The tumuaki (principal) of Te Kura Kaupapa Maori o Wairarapa, Hohepa Campbell, says a waka ama also has the potential to be a “wonderful tool” to support and enhance student learning. “For our students to be successful we are needing parents to engage with their children on positive whanaungatanga (relationship building) activities,” Mr Campbell said. “Because we are a Kura Kaupapa Maori, we want a Maori type of activities and waka ama provides that.” The Kura have been fundraising over the years and have put money aside this year to buy their own waka ama. A recent grant of $10,000 from the Trust House Foundation has helped them reach their $26,000 target which will enable them to purchase both the vessel and also trailer required to transport it. Mr Campbell says for many of the 70-plus Kura in New Zealand, waka ama are widely used, but primarily

For our students to be successful we are needing parents to engage with their children on positive whanaungatanga (relationship building) activities. Because we are a Kura Kaupapa Maori, we want a Maori type of activities and waka ama provides that. for competition. “We will do the same, but this is not the main motivation. The rationale for us is those big aspirational goals of really understanding how we came to New Zealand, because this involves so much learning about us as Maori, and it goes back to that point that our children will benefit and have positive outcomes if their parents are also engaged.” The genesis for the idea came about last year when the kura organised several trips up to Napier to learn about a waka hourua (double haul sailing canoe). “We were wanting to learn about what our ancestors did in order to come to Aotearoa New Zealand, and this is about reconnection with our whakapapa (ancestors). “We want to learn about the stars and the navigation methods, and we wanted to grow our capability and capacity to eventually

one day embark on a voyage.” A stepping stone to achieving this is reconnecting with Maori whanau down at Lake Ferry, he says. “Many of our children come from Onoke, Lake Ferry, and we need to bring that part of our whanau closer to us . . . also it is a lot quicker than going to Napier.” Lake Ferry is also home to Raihania Tipoki, an experienced ocean voyager who is closely connected to Te Kura Kaupapa Maori o Wairarapa’s whanau. “Maybe one day we will have two waka ama and put a platform across them to make a waka hourua and then sail around Lake Wairarapa, then one day out to sea.” The waka ama is being made at Tutakaka, near Whangarei, and is expected to be delivered in March next year.

A passion for the science of the human body and a desire to help people live their lives to the full unites the three physiotherapists at CAPE Physio Masterton. Established in 2016 by Elizabeth Eneliko (Vollebregt) at 32 Perry Street, the clinic now includes Olivia Browne and Davide Castorina, both of whom joined at the beginning of this year. Originally from Italy, Davide got his first taste of the Kiwi lifestyle when he came to New Zealand 10 years ago, meeting his wife Te Ataahia who is from Masterton. This year he was team physio for the Wairarapa-Bush rugby representative team and NZ Heartland Under 19 team, as well as playing as lock for Carterton Senior Thirds. Davide’s interests include spending time with his family, enjoying the outdoors and diving. His passion for health and fitness also motivated him to become a qualified personal trainer and an instructor of Krav Maga (a form of selfdefence) seven years ago. Olivia graduated from the University of Otago with a Bachelor of Physiotherapy degree last year and was excited to have the opportunity to begin her career at CAPE Physio in Masterton. Growing up in Upper Hutt with a love of sport, Olivia has competed in artistic gymnastics, football and tennis, developing a passion for the human body, bio-mechanics and healthcare. Olivia has been the physio for teams in a variety of codes including the Wellington Phoenix Football Academy, AFL, and this year has worked with Masterton Marist and assisted Davide with Wairarapa-Bush. As well as helping patients at Perry Street, Olivia holds regular clinics at two of the four Wairarapa colleges CAPE Physio Masterton looks after. Elizabeth grew up on the dairy farm of her parents Leo and Rebecca Vollebregt at Kahutara in South Wairarapa.

“When I left school I didn’t know what I wanted to do as a career, but I knew I wanted to work with people and I had an interest in the human body and science. I enrolled in a physiotherapy course in my second year at Otago University and loved it. It turned out to be perfect for me.” After graduating, Elizabeth joined CAPE Physio Hastings, one of eight CAPE Physio clinics around New Zealand. While at CAPE Physio Hastings she completed her Polestar Pilates course and completed her Masters in Sports and Musculoskeletal Physio in 2016. After three years of working as a physio, Elizabeth moved back home to Masterton with her husband Leo to open CAPE Physio Masterton in 2016 with CAPE Physio’s partners. Elizabeth will continue to work at the clinic on a part-time basis while raising her young family with Leo, while Davide and Olivia are its two full-time physiotherapists. CAPE Physio clientele come from all walks of life and they deal with a wide range of conditions and injuries on a daily basis. A main focus for CAPE Physio Masterton is on patient centred care. “We aim to treat the person, not only the injury, and getting them back to what is important to them in their daily life”, says Elizabeth. “We see too many people who aren’t doing what they love due to an injury. We want to fix that.” As well as being highly skilled physiotherapists, they also run Pilates, Mobility and Parents & Bubs classes. “Pilates classes are great for posttreatment, as well as for preventing injuries. Because we are physiotherapists we have a unique perspective and can focuses on the specific issues people have,” says Elizabeth. CAPE Physio Masterton is an ACC registered clinic and able to register ACC claims onsite meaning that no doctor’s referral is required.

Lakeview students are taking control of their own world, thanks to Fab Lab which has made the school its home this past year. Fab Lab’s mission is to equip the Wairarapa community with 21st century skills, and “make Wairarapa a place where hi-tech people live”. They’ve been pretty successful so far, teaming up with businesses, individuals, and Wairarapa’s young people to bring a digital element to problem solving. The Fab Lab is a similar concept to a Men’s Shed but has open access digital fabrication machinery like 3D printers, and laser cutters. Founders Kirsten Browne and John Hart, alongside Tamara Oliver say Fab Lab has always been about schools, citizens, and businesses since its inception in 2015. “We try to reiterate those three things over and over,” Kirsten said. “It’s always been open to the whole community and it’s about using digital stuff, not to stay in the digital realm, but to become part of the physical realm which is what we are.” When it comes to teaching students, Kirsten said it was about “unleashing their creativity and showing them that no matter what mark they make on

the paper, that’s worth making into a product”. “The key is having a real-life problem to solve. Not just all theory.” Fab Lab started off in the Wairarapa TimesAge building in 2015 where it stayed for about 18 months before shifting to the Masterton UCOL campus for just over a year. “Now we are at Lakeview, and each time we have moved, it has been for very symbiotic reasons,” Kirsten said. Lakeview principal Tim Nelson said it was fantastic for Lakeview students to have easy access to “such a fabulous resource” within the school. “Students can now do activities and learn new skills that would be hard to do in a regular classroom,” he said. “Fab Lab has given me the chance to see the potential of the likes of a laser printer, and the design process used to create things that would be extremely hard to get otherwise. “For example, if a small hinge was broken on a delicate piece of equipment, it can now be designed and printed at the lab . . . what an awesome thing to be able to do.” John Hart is quite the maker himself, teaming up with Wairarapa businesses to help them reach their highest potential through problem solving. One business John

helped recently was Henergy Eggs in Masterton, for which he 3D-printed some fittings for their production line to help their eggs get a smoother transition in the moving process. “I analysed the flow of the eggs and printed out some fittings to help them have a smoother journey through. “It was one or two fittings that they just couldn’t get anywhere else. “It’s about helping businesses solve problems. “Often, it’s little problems they think there isn’t a solution for because it’s not worth getting a consultant or

engineer to have a look at. “So, we come have a look, do up something quick and easy, try it out, and if it works, great, if it doesn’t, we try something else. “We prototype rapidly and solve problems in a really short time with a relatively low cost.” When it came to teaching kids to problem solve, John said everything they were being taught at Fab Lab was about “turning people from consumers into producers and makers”. “They’re not having to settle for something someone else has made for them, and they realise

it is possible to actually take their own ideas and make them into things. “That’s a really big moment for people, but kids especially. “They have control over their world – they don’t have to wait to buy the next branded thing off the shelf. “They can make their own awesome thing that’s just as good – if not better.” John said often traditional schooling taught children that there was a “right and wrong way to do stuff”. “We’ve seen kids coming through, and at a certain age, that creativity starts to drift away.

“You give them an open-ended design problem and up to a certain point, kids will say, yes, let’s do this. “After a point, they start to say, well I don’t know what the right answer is, so I won’t engage with it. “That’s what we are trying to unpick. “Have a go and see where it takes you.” Since being at Lakeview School, each student has undergone an introduction to digital making. • For more information on Fab Lab, visit their Facebook page, Fab Lab Masterton.

Salesman Rob Wilkins with the Automower

The Husqvarna Automower! You can see the revolutionary Husqvarna Automower in action at Langlands Honda at the north entrance to Greytown, with sales representative Rob Wilkins happy to give a demonstration. The Automower can be turned on from anywhere in the world with your smart phone, but most of the time this won’t be necessary as it automatically mows the lawn whenever it needs to be done. You set the GPS parameters for the area of lawn you want mowed and the Automower does the rest, watching out for objects, pets and any stray toes with its sensors. The Automower only works within the parameters that are set, so if it gets stolen it is useless and its location is signalled to all Husqvarna stores around the world via satellite. The Automower is perfect for people who are no longer able to mow their lawns and pay someone to mow them, therefore saving lots of dollars. Alternatively, no more needing to rely on family members or friends.

It is also ideal for people who are time poor, as they won’t have to mow their lawn themselves or hire someone to do it. People with weekend homes will benefit from the Automower keeping their lawn trim when they aren’t there. The Automower can easily handle wet conditions and difficult terrain including slopes, holes and obstacles. Because it mows regularly, the Automower is much more gentle on lawns and keeps them looking immaculate. The Automower runs on electricity so no more stale petrol in the tank, and having to go to the petrol station with a can. It is energy efficient and when the batteries do run low, the Automower simply returns to the charging station. After initial installation, the Automower requires only a once-a-year maintenance check. For more information visit Langlands Honda Greytown or phone 06 304 8482

Do you know that when you decide to rent a new place to live, the landlord must by law provide you with a written tenancy agreement? So often we get cases at Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB) where people have found themselves stuck because they have a dispute with a landlord but no recourse to a written agreement. You shouldn’t rent without an agreement ﬁrst. Our advice is to make sure you arrange a tenancy agreement when you sign up. We have blank forms at CAB we can give you or post out to you. Even if you are renting from a friend or relative, it is most protective to both parties to have clearly set out the terms of the arrangement. Circumstances may change, accidents may happen. So, protect yourselves. Arrange a tenancy agreement. The tenancy agreement is a written contract between you and the landlord.

PHOTO/GETTY IMAGES

When you decide you want to rent, consider what conditions you would like included and what kind of term are you looking for. You can have an indefinite (periodic) agreement or a “fixed – term” agreement. A periodic tenancy is one where there is no fixed end of term date, it just keeps going, until the tenancy is terminated by either you or the landlord. A fixed term tenancy is one that lasts until a fixed end date. You may decide that you want to rent for only a year, for example. A start date and end date are recorded in the written agreement. Once you have been living in the house and have

reached the end date but wish to stay on, the tenancy can then be agreed to become a periodic tenancy; unless you and the landlord decide to make it last for another ﬁxed term. Another consideration is: do you want to sign as a sole tenant or to share the responsibility of the tenancy with another person? More than one person can sign as a tenant. In that case, each tenant is called “jointly and severally” liable under the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 Act. The tenancy agreement must be signed by all parties agreeing to the terms of the tenancy and must contain everyone’s full names and contact

addresses, including mobile and email addresses. Of course, it must state the address of the house and any extra inclusions in the property. You will be expected to pay a bond. This money will be forwarded to the government run oﬃce, Tenancy Services, to be held by them. You can expect to get this refunded in full when you vacate the property, provided you have not left any damage and you have paid your rent up to date. The landlord can ask you to pay a bond equivalent to four week’s rent. If there is any dispute over the repayment you can talk to Tenancy Services and/or apply to

the Tenancy Tribunal for a decision. All the details of your term agreement, your rent, how often and where it is to be paid, key dates and the names of the tenants and landlord must be on the agreement. It will also state any speciﬁc details of your agreement. It is your protection. As well as the blank forms, we have a very good booklet produced by Tenancy Services showing quite plainly the rights of both the landlord and the tenant/s and how to go about seeking any help you need. Please ask us for one – we can post out or you can collect if from 43 Perry St, Masterton. Additional information is available at www.tenancy. govt.nz.

Solway College would like to congratulate all our students who have worked hard, both in classrooms, on the sporting field and in all other areas of school life. University Scholarships for 2019 Solway is very proud of three Year 13 students who have gained university scholarships for next year. The University of Auckland Top Achiever Scholarships are very prestigious awards. They awarded to students who have demonstrated exceptional levels of academic excellence, all-round ability, and leadership. Each scholarship is worth $20,000 for one year. Meagan Hayes has been awarded the above scholarship as well as scholarships to Massey and Otago. Meagan has chosen to attend Auckland University to study biochemistry. A University of Otago scholarship worth $6,000 has also been awarded to Renee Bacon. Jessica Gooding has also been awarded a Lincoln University Future Leader Scholarship worth $6,000. Jessica will be studying agriculture. We wish all of our school leavers the best of luck for next year. Cultural Activities Tabitha Leinfellner came third in the Year 10 Intercollegiate Speech Competition with her touching speech about her time spent in Uganda last year. Madeleine Somerville (Year 13) was recently selected as a finalist in the Katherine Mansfield Short Story Award. Our Kapa Haka group is going from strength to strength and recently performed at the Wairarapa Schools’ Festival. It has also been an exciting and challenging year for Performing Arts at Solway. We have had Dance as a separate subject for the first time and performed a school production that was written and put together by the students of the Performing Arts Department. “St Cecilia’s” was performed in October and was thoroughly enjoyed by both the cast and the audience alike. It involved not only the Performing Arts students but anyone who wanted to be on stage. It was great to see so many students pushing themselves out of their comfort zone. Planning is underway for another production next year and we look forward to see the department continue to grow and develop. Our Cultural and Service Awards last term also celebrated the achievements of our students and was an opportunity to thank those who have given service. Emma Gray, Alexandra Burling and Madeleine Somerville were recognized for service to the school.

Sport On the sporting front, Solway students have had a stellar year . The Sports Awards were held recently, acknowledging all our talented sportswomen and recognizing the coaches and managers of the various sports teams. Luuka Jones, Olympic Silver medallist, was the guest speaker and gave an inspirational speech about her path to success.

High Tea On the senior students’ last day for before study leave, we held the traditional High Tea. This has become a very popular way to farewell our Year 13 leavers and every year it is organised and run by a group of Year 10 students. The dining room was beautifully decorated with spring flowers and it was a lovely way to end the academic year for the senior students.

Dung beetles put to work Eli Hill

“It’s encouraging to see the strong interest of local farmers in the scheme, particularly in South Wairarapa where we are focusing on improving water quality in and around Lake Wairarapa.” Last week, students at nearby Pirinoa School were given a lesson on the benefits of dung beetles by land management advisor Kolja Schaller. Schaller hoped that one day the beetles would spread right across the country, but said it was still a long way off. “Once the beetles are fully established I’ve seen videos where after a dairy herd graze the paddock they’ll bury all the dung within 24 to 48 hours. “There’s a lot of fertility in those dung pats, so they’re pulling that down into the soil and aerating it so when it rains you’ll get more moisture in the soil which is good for pasture growth.” While New Zealand has 15 species of native dung beetles, they had evolved for forest conditions, and species that could cope with grass needed to be introduced. The dung beetles being introduced into Wairarapa are known as tunnellers – the most effective at burying dung. A whole farm package

Farmers around Lake Wairarapa are set to benefit from the introduction of dung beetles, who are the natural answer to rebalancing the environmental impact of livestock. Four species of nonnative dung beetle are being offered to farmers throughout the region in subsidised packages designed to encourage on-farm trials that will lead to cleaner pasture, and environmental and economic benefits. The Greater Wellington Regional Council-led project saw properties bordering Lake Wairarapa offered about 1500 of the beetles at half price. The release of the packages took place on November 11 during a sold-out function at Featherston’s Kaiwaiwai Dairies. Greater Wellington Environment Committee chair Sue Kedgley said the dung beetles were part of a drive to improve freshwater quality in Wairarapa. “Managing nutrient build up and run off is a key priority and the dung beetle option is one we are happy to support,” she said.

46.7kg lost in ‘Biggest Loser’ Brackenridge Country Retreat & Spa, Martinborough in collaboration with South Wairarapa Personal Training has announced the winners of the ‘Biggest Loser Challenge’ in Martinborough. A total of 20 people signed up for the challenge designed to fast track weight loss through embracing positive eating habits and exercise, in an environment with others on the same wellness journey. The group combined, lost a total of 46.7kg with the winner, Caroline Dolan losing 8.7kg since the start of the challenge on September 1. “We are delighted with the results from our ﬁrst Biggest Loser Challenge at Brackenridge,” said Brackenridge Spa manager Sharon Garrett. “While our winners lost several kilos, others turned over a new leaf in terms of putting their health and wellness ﬁrst by being aware of what they’re eating, increasing their exercise and establishing a routine.” Commenting about

the commitment of the participants, personal trainer, and facilitator of the Biggest Loser, Mireie Penman said, “a few people dropped off in the first two weeks, but on the whole, everyone worked very hard” “The people who took out the prizes were very deserving and certainly put in the effort.” According to Mireie, there can be many factors that make weight loss a challenge, whether it be age, hormonal imbalances or health conditions. “While the biggest loser is a focus on reducing weight, our true goal is to encourage people to be aware of consumption

and the value of regular exercise. As a rule, if a person is losing between half a kilo to one kilo per week, that is a safe amount of body weight to shed.” Participant, Annette Moore received special recognition from personal trainer, Mireie, for her commitment and focus, being awarded the Special Trainer’s Encouragement accolade which included a complimentary onemonth membership to the Brackenridge Gym. Prize winners received a combination of cash and well-deserved spa prizes for their eﬀorts. Brackenridge Spa is planning to announce dates for a new year challenge starting in February 2019.

Doing good deeds in and out of our neighbourhood Jill and I went on a road trip to the Volunteering New Zealand conference in Christchurch recently. And we were joined by some hitchhikers along the way. With us, to take in the beautiful views our country has to offer, were Cookie Monster, Winnie the Pooh and many of their cuddly mates. We picked them up in Carterton. Their destination, Settlers Health Centre – Ferrymead Christchurch. The people responsible for them – Carol and Nan. Carol and Nan are Carterton residents who regularly send care packages to this community health centre. This time the package was cuddly toys and books, on other occasions it is knitted items. This relationship started as a response to the earthquakes. Carol and Nan wanted to use their skills and time to show love to the people in Christchurch. To give them something warm to wear or cuddly to snuggle as they rebuild their lives and community.

Volunteering Wairarapa

Rowena Stauber Carol found a way to directly connect with this health centre on the east side of Christchurch. Carol and Nan have inspired others to join them, making this a wider community effort. Sometimes people or businesses donate the wool used for knitting. Friends and community groups contribute to the knitting. The pre-loved toys are donated, and the local Vinnies of Carterton often supports the transportation of the goods. Such is the ongoing nature of their contributions, that there is now a ‘Carol and Nan’ corner in the Settlers Health Centre. This is where the cuddly toys that travelled with us found their new temporary home – although I am sure they will be in new homes soon enough. While some of Carol and Nan’s time is spent helping

those in Christchurch, they also donate their time and skills to activities close to home. Their knitted baby clothes and blankets are distributed through different places in Wairarapa. The heart and skill that goes into the making is evident. I have seen first-hand the delight that families express when they see these beautiful free items . . . and the tough decision that goes into choosing which to accept. Delivering this dynamic duo’s November

donation to Christchurch solidified parts of what we heard during the volunteering conference. Making change possible. Building relationships. Being an ally. Community. Heart.

Opportunities at Volunteering Wairarapa

Unique retirement option at Kandahar

Kandahar villa resident, Wayne Griffen When Wayne Griffen moved to a retirement villa at Masterton’s Kandahar Home three years ago, he was determined to become an integral part of the community he discovered there. Three years later, Wayne believes he’s done just that. “Life at Kandahar is entirely what you make it and for me, a big attraction of moving here was the opportunity to enjoy companionship,” he says. “I like being able to get to know and help out my neighbours in the villas, as well as the residents at the lovely home next door. There are always lots of interesting things happening there and I’ll often head there for Happy Hour or a concert.” When Wayne is not chatting with his villa neighbours, home residents or staff, he’s often found indulging in walks around the home’s gardens and leafy surrounds, shopping in the nearby town centre and tending his flower garden. The friendly man says the stress-free lifestyle he’s enjoyed since moving to his rental unit at Kandahar has allowed him time to focus on the aspects of life which matter most to him. “Where I was living before [in Carterton]…it was a big property,” he explains. “This [Kandahar Home and Village] is just as big a property and it feels nice and green with lots of trees and shrubbery

around it, but I have more time to enjoy it all without worrying about maintenance and things like cutting the grass,” he explains. At Kandahar, all villa residents enjoy hassle-free living while staff take care of property maintenance and have access to a range of other facilities and services as needed. Villa residents also encouraged to join in with activities such as concerts, outings, parties and tailored recreational activities organised by staff at the neighbouring rest home. Manager Peter Newman says the independent rental units at Kandahar Home are very popular and it’s unusual to have any of the one-bedroom villas available. “The units provide independent living, so they suit elders who still want to remain independent and in their own home, but have the peace of mind of knowing help is on hand if they need it. “Of course, it’s also a great option for people like Wayne who are looking for companionship and that close-knit community feeling.” There are currently independent retirement rental units available at Kandahar. To find out more call the friendly team on 06 370 0447.

Opening up the Beckie Wilson

Knowing that milk comes from a farm where green grass grows in the fresh air, rather than from a supermarket fridge, is important to the shareholders of Kaiwaiwai Dairies Ltd in South Wairarapa. Shareholder Aidan Bichan hoped opening the farm gates to the public offered perspective for those keen to learn more about the dairy industry. The award-winning Kaiwaiwai Dairies farm has been a leading light in environmental practices in recent years. The Featherston farm is one of 17 nationwide, and the only one in greater Wellington. It opened its gates to the public on Sunday as part of Fonterra’s Open Gates day. The farm participated last year, and hosted about 240 visitors. This year, they needed more portaloos as about 900 people had registered for the farm day, with a large number from Wellington city. The shareholders hold the view that their story needs to be told, and “we want to be role models”, Bichan said. The dairy industry had been taking a hit for quite some time when it came to perspectives on what dairying did to the environment, he said. They want to “balance some of the views” and show what positive moves

are being made for the benefit of the environment. “It’s the ability to have those conversations, that’s why we want to get our story out directly to the public,” Bichan said. “Last year we got a lot of comments at the end of the day like, ‘I didn’t realise farming was such a full-on job’ or ‘we didn’t realise farmers were doing stuff for the environment’,” he said. The farm is owned by six shareholders including Neville Fisher, Vern Brassel and Aidan. It runs 900 cows that are milked on a split-calving calendar, meaning they can supply fresh milk all year round. About seven years ago, they set a target to reduce the amount of clean water used in the dairy shed. The farm requires clean water for the plant, milk

involved in a large-scale wetland project to reduce nitrate leaching into Wairarapa Moana, the largest wetland in the Southern North Island. As a result, the wetland removes around 690kg of nitrogen each year, making

a big difference to nearby Lake Wairarapa. “People really appreciate that we were prepared to be open and discuss it and that’s the approach we have taken.” The open day offered the opportunity to watch and get involved in milking and calf feeding, and learn about water management, the wetlands and farm efficiency. A milk tanker and a driver discussed the hauling process and milk pick up. Ngati Kahungunu Ki Wairarapa representative Ra Smith shared stories about the history of Wairarapa Moana and Lake Wairarapa. The Greater Wellington Regional Council was also on hand to discuss the importance of catchment groups in the cities, as well as a dung beetle release.

GUESTS INVITED TO EXPERIENCE WHAT CLUB HAS TO OFFER

NEW AND EX-LEASE COMPUTERS AND LAPTOPS IN STORE NOW!

Shalari Lingerie has a range of cool tankini for a hot summer. These are much more versatile as to where and when they can be worn than the one piece or bikini and so are well suited to the Wairarapa where women won’t necessarily be wearing them at the beach, owner Tina Dunlop points out.

South Wairarapa Working Men’s Club invites anyone thinking of joining the 137 year-old club to pop in and see just what it has to offer.

South Wairarapa Computers can order most PCs on the market today at a competitive price.

Because they are made by the same quality labels who supply Tina with her lingerie, they offer the same excellent structure and support. “This allows them to be fitted accurately, and so complement to the unique body shape of the wearer.”

It has a full TAB facility, two full sized snooker tables and three pool tables, and 10 dart boards. The biggest night of the week is the Wednesday Draw night. 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.

We also offer a range of IT support services for the South Wairarapa including fix, supply and support for home and businesses.

HOLIDAY TREAT FROM ESSENTIALLY YOU

SOUTH AFRICAN BOEREWORS AND BILTONG AT GREYTOWN BUTCHERY

PINEHAVEN KEEPS GREYTOWN’S FRUIT GROWING TRADITION ALIVE

Do you need a bit of calm amidst the chaos of the holiday season? Allow us to indulge you, and take a bit more time for yourself. Choose any three treatments listed on the advert below and pay just $99! Treatments need to be taken in one appointment by the end of January 2019 so book with us today!

A couple of South African delicacies are proving popular at Greytown Butchery.

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

One is the South African Boerewors. The name is derived from boer (farmer) and wors (sausage). Boerewors must contain at least 90 percent meat, the other 10 percent made up of spices and other ingredients. This coiled sausage is great on the BBQ. Traditionally this would have been cooked over hot coals. Also popular are Biltong, a variety of dried, cured meat that originated in South Africa. Various types of meat are used to produce it, ranging from beef and game meats to fillets of ostrich. It is similar to beef jerky in that they are both spiced, dried meats. Biltong makes a very tasty snack.

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.

GREAT DECKING SPECIALS AT CRIGHTON ITM For DYI enthusiasts wanting to build a deck over summer, Crighton ITM Greytown has some of the best discounts on decking wood in the Wairarapa.

Tom floats a water scheme

Wai Write

Bill Orange

“Hey Fred, did you see the article in today’s TimesAge, ‘40M down the river’?’” “Yes Tom, the Ruamahanga Waitua Committee is certainly getting flack.” “Just thinking . . . I wonder if we can do something about the water problem?” Fred and Tom were having their monthly meet and chat at the local while their wives were having their hair shampooed and styled. Fred took another sip from his glass. “What have you got in mind, Tom? And what do you mean, ‘we’?” Tom took some time to answer. “Did you read about that woman in Oz in the outback and had to drink her own urine to survive?” “Yes,” replied Fred, “dire situations require dire solutions, but it obviously worked.” “Well, it proved that urine won’t kill you. A major problem with the river water is contamination from livestock seeping through the soil into it. If we could divert the cattle’s urine and made it potable, think of the good it would do, reduce the quantity of

water drawn for drinking purposes and so increase river flows, and also cleaning the rivers of some of the contaminants. By distilling the urine, we would extract the nitrates adding to the contamination.” “Sounds great in theory, Tom, but your first problem is to collect the urine. How would you do that?” “Good question, but there must be a way. The horses pulling the carriages with passengers around St Stephen’s

Square in Vienna had a canvas contraption to stop the dung falling on the pavement. Perhaps an invention of something suitable in plastic is needed?” “Good luck to them. But what about the distilling to reduce the strength, the smell and the ammonium nitrate?” “I’m sure Shane Jones can find a couple of million from his Regional Development Fund for us to construct a refinery.” “There you go again – ‘us’.

convinced yet. What other bright ideas do you have to sway me?” “Talking of distilling, have you ever thought about the drinking water needed by those monster cruise ships? I believe they distil seawater. Surely a similar machine could be adapted to do the trick.” “I’m still not convinced,” said Fred. “Why cattle? Why not human urine? It’s much easier to collect and has a history of economic use. My ancestors came from the Scottish Isles and used

to remove the grease from sheep’s wool by steeping it in the pisspot for several months. That’s how they prepared the wool for their famous Harris Tweed, so I’ve been told.” Tom, looking a little hurt by Fred’s attitude, took some time before replying. “No, using human urine wouldn’t reduce river pollution from nitrates and other contaminants. It seems you are not overly impressed by my brainwave.” “Right on, Tom! But I do believe you have invented a good yarn for this week’s Free Choice story.” • 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.

SASSFit’s athletes and support crew after their successful weekend at the 2TOA Aotearoa competition in Rotorua. PHOTO/SUPPLIED

FITNESS

paired teams for the competition which catered for all levels with beginners, intermediate, teens, masters, advanced and RX separated into divisions. Director and coach Tania Karaitiana said it was the ﬁrst time competing for many of the athletes – something which proved quite daunting for some. “Every Sunday, we would have precompetition training and went over the beneﬁt of mentally succeeding,”

Elisa Vorster CrossFit athletes from Masterton’s SASSFit proved their dominance when six of their athletes gained top three placings at the 2TOA Aotearoa CrossFit competition this month. The two-day competition at Rotorua saw athletes compete in disciplines ranging from running to weightlifting to swimming in the iconic Blue Lake. SASSFit entered 10

she said. She said all the coaches were “blown away” by the eﬀort and success of the athletes, including new coach Matt Couper who teamed up with fellow coach Rima Marurai. Couper had been working hard with the athletes to push their training to the next level. The pair led by example by placing second in the advanced male division. Hitiri Turner and Laurie Matthews won the beginner male division,

edging out teammates Jared Hardie and Nick Scott who placed second. Overall, the SASSFit team came home with one first, two seconds, a fourth, a fifth and a seventh placing from their respective events. “It was a really fierce competition and if it weren’t for a few injuries, the placings could have been different again,” Karaitiana said. Karaitiana said SASSFit hoped the success of the athletes would inspire

others to get involved in functional fitness with likeminded people. “It’s about being humble and doing the best we can. “You can be first or last but at the end of the day, last place gets the biggest cheers here because of the friendship and camaraderie.” She said the centre offered CrossFit, strength and circuit workouts “with a bit of spice on the side” for its members aged from 14 to 79.
