Tattoos to heal bereaved Emily Ireland Masterton tattoo artist Raine Mackenzie knows the struggle of losing a best friend to suicide. And it was through her artform that she has been able to lift herself out of some dark times – “it ultimately saved my life”, she said. Now, with her colleagues at Sacred Art Tattoo & Piercing in Masterton, Raine will use her art to bring healing to other Wairarapa people bereaved by suicide or affected by mental illness. Sacred Art, which is hosting a suicide awareness event on September 15, will be offering discounted ‘flash’ tattoos, donating 65 per cent of the cost to local mental health charity Suicide Awareness Matters. There will also be discounts on tattoos commissioned to cover self-harm scars, a bake sale, raffle, barbecue, and a guided meditation with koha entry. “For me, tattooing has always been something quite sacred,” Raine said. “I got given this opportunity [to tattoo] when I was in a really hard

time of my life.” “I wouldn’t have done all the things I did to better myself and get out of the suicidal frame of mind if it wasn’t for tattooing.” Raine lost her best friend to suicide last year. “The main thing I

realised when I lost her was that, there’s just so much love that comes with grief and it’s a crazy experience. “I feel like it is really easy to become divided when you are in a bad place of mental health.

“You segregate yourself from others and think maybe you are wrong for feeling a certain way.” She said the suicide awareness fundraiser would be a means to “bring people together that

have all gone through the same thing”. Sacred Art owners Sarah and Jordan Tredray said the event meant a lot to them, their staﬀ, and the wider Wairarapa community. “We’ve had a lot of people who are very close to us that have gone

through the grieving side of suicide,” Sarah said. “Especially in Masterton, it seems so common.” Provisional suicide statistics show that between July 2016 and June 2017, 12 people died by suicide in Wairarapa, giving the region the second highest suicide rate in New Zealand, behind West Coast DHB. Sarah said she had personally suffered with depression and suicidal thoughts for “what feels like my whole life”. “I have been that low where I have attempted to take my own life – and I know how lonely it can feel. “I worry for my children and young people around us that there isn’t enough of a support net around them to help them back out of the hole if they end up there. “If we talk about [suicide] and make it okay to talk about, then hopefully that is the first step in saving the people around us. She said she was inspired to create the event after seeing Raine grieve for her friend. “The heartache and effect it has on those left behind is devastating. Continued on page 3

PM adds to Wairarapa agenda The Prime Minister has added another event to her programme when she visits the region this week. Jacinda Ardern will attend the Wairarapa Intergenerational Playgroup tomorrow, but it has not been confirmed if her daughter, Neve, will join her. It was announced earlier this month that Ardern would visit Wairarapa as her first regional trip after returning from maternity on August 8. Ardern will also attend an invitation-only ribboncutting at Breadcraft and a Digital Seniors “high tea”

at the Copthorne Hotel and Resort Solway Park. Wairarapa Intergenerational Playgroup founder Lucy Adlam said she was still processing the news that Ardern would be visiting the playgroup. The playgroup includes a group of mothers and their babies bringing joy to Wairarapa rest homes to help combat loneliness. Adlam said she initially wanted to reach out to Ardern, as well as her partner Clarke Gayford and baby Neve if they were also coming to the region. Adlam admitted she

thought Ardern would be “way out of reach” considering her busy schedule for the day. “I think to me, having the Prime Minister come, it just shows how amazing this country is to get behind community initiatives and empower people in the community. “It means a huge amount,” Adlam said. The playgroup session on Thursday will run as normal, she said. Carterton mum Lucy Adlam, with her daughter Ruby, 5 months, and Roseneath Lifecare resident Barbara. PHOTO/SARAH MACDONALD

Community coming together to make a change Continued from page 1 “It shows the importance of having those grieving taken care of as well.” Sarah’s husband Jordan said he had also seen the effect on people after losing a loved one to suicide – “they have been thrusted into a shocking reality that changes their life”. “There is a huge deep hole that people go through after a loved one dies. “And that suffering tends to be brushed under the carpet.” “The more we can talk about it, the better this community will be.” The local mental health charity which Sacred Art is fundraising for is Suicide Awareness Matters, which can be abbreviated to SAM. It is spearheaded by Masterton mother Toni Ryan, who lost her teenaged son Sam to suicide in 2011. Since then, she has made it her mission to learn as much as she can about mental illness and the other contributing factors that have produced high suicide rates in New Zealand, and especially Wairarapa. She hopes her work will empower people to understand mental illness, reduce suicides, and prevent further heartbreak for families.

“I just feel epically proud that our community is willing to come together like this – that’s when the real change starts to happen,” Toni said. “It’s about peer-to-peer support. “Help doesn’t always have to be coming from professionals.” Toni said her son Sam was “a remarkable young man”. “His behaviour in the last two years leading up to his death . . . that wasn’t my son – that was the illness

having an effect on my son. “This is what happens – we tend to look at the behaviour and we don’t look at the illness.” She said people tended to blame those who had ended their own lives – “that they were weak – or in Sam’s case, that he was a useless druggie, doing this that and the other”. “Well he wasn’t – he was a remarkable young man who was always there when his friends wanted to talk – he was the most polite kid in the whole universe.

“I saw the little boy that was always curled up in his bed crying his eyes out saying, I’m so sorry mum.” Toni said the community needed to understand that if they chose to become empowered by learning about mental illness, “they can make such a profound difference”. “I have spoken to thousands of people who have lost children, husbands, wives, sisters, brothers. “Every single person I have spoken to loved that

4 Wairarapa Midweek Local News Wednesday, August 15, 2018

Artist ‘full of love and life’ Emily Ireland Jan Eagle, a “daughter of Greytown”, will be remembered as a determined artist and mover and shaker in the Wairarapa community. She died last Wednesday after a battle with cancer, aged 82. Jan was born in Greytown to Jack and Stella Bull in 1936 and is most known for her eﬀorts in revitalising the historic Stella Bull Park and Sarah’s Garden. She was also an established Wairarapa artist having painted for as long as she could remember. She was instrumental in the establishment of Heart of Arts in Carterton, according to former Toi Wairarapa and Heart of Arts coordinator Corrinne Oliver. “[Jan] was the very ﬁrst person to turn up at Heart of Arts, paintbrush in hand to help paint and tidy up the building turning it into an Art Gallery”, Corrinne said. “She was passionate about the arts and supporting other artists and all of her interactions were just so meaningful. “She was full of love and life.” At an exhibition at Heart

of Arts in Carterton last year, Jan said it wasn’t until later in life that she made art a fulltime career. “My parents said, you won’t make any money out of art, so they put me as an apprentice to a florist in Masterton, so I’m a fully qualified florist,” she had told the Wairarapa Midweek. After selling her own florist shop in the 80s, Jan went on to dedicate herself to her art “fulltime” – “it’s my life, it’s who I am”. Her art explored the stories behind the objects she was painting; she enjoyed observing people, watching their body language and attitudes. “I don’t just paint objects, rather I use the paint to say something about them,”

she would say. The legacy Jan leaves behind for the Wairarapa community is the revitalised Stella Bull Park. Her mother, Stella Bull, the park’s namesake, fought to preserve the park and Sarah’s Garden until her death in 1972. The area remained largely under-utilised until the Friends of Stella and Sarah was established in 2011 by Jan and Ruth Evans. Ruth said Jan was the “driving force” of the park development, which reached a head last year with the placement of a large 5m tall steel cabbage tree sculpture, designed by Niko Thomsen. The sculpture project was driven entirely by Jan, Ruth said, with support from the community, South Wairarapa District Council, the Aratoi Foundation, and David Borman. Ruth said, like the cabbage tree stands tall in Greytown, so too would Jan “in our memories”. Jan was the eldest of three children, sister to David and John Bull. John said there was no one else in the world like his sister. “Jan is Jan,” he said. “She is determined – which is typical of the Bull family, and she liked

helping people.” He recalled some 20 odd years ago when “Jan had wanted more room” in the house she was living in, “so she smacked a wall in the passage”. “She got the saw out and cut all the studs, then rang me up and said, quick, help – I think the roof’s coming down”. “When she put her mind to something, she was determined to ﬁnish it.” A celebration of Jan’s life was held last Friday at St Luke’s Anglican Church in Greytown. She was buried at the Clareville Natural Burial Cemetery – something family members said was “very Jan”. Her transport was in the back of brother John’s Ute. “All the Bull family have a special sense of humour – she would love it,” he said. Jan was the loving sister

of John and Rose Bull, and David and Irene; loving mum of Robert and Linda, Kei, Barry and Ana, Lee and Patrizia, and Nan and Great-Nan of many.

Aratoi saddened by loss

The Aratoi community is “really saddened” by the death of Wairarapa artist Jan Eagle. Aratoi Regional Trust chairwoman Barbara Roydhouse said Jan was a strong supporter of Aratoi and the former Wairarapa Arts Centre, and was a prominent artist in our region over several decades. “Jan’s contribution to the Arts scene in the Wairarapa will be sorely missed,” she said. Jan held solo exhibitions titled The Urban Provider (2007), Space to Space (2009), and Heavenly Communications (2014) at Aratoi.

Jan regularly contributed to the Friends of Aratoi Arts Review and the Little Jewels fundraiser and exhibited with the Main Artery group. “Her work was a celebration of life: bright, quirky and full of meaning.” Jan recently sold a beautiful work in the Aratoi Artists Auction, which appropriately went to a Greytown home. To honour Jan’s memory, her oil painting Saturday (1983), held in the Aratoi collection, will be on display in the foyer. Visitors may sign a book which will be passed on to the family. The Aratoi Regional Trust, the Friends of Aratoi and its supporters extend their sympathies to Jan’s family.

Music co-creation Each Tuesday, the Wesley Wing at Aratoi is ﬁlled with the sound of many worldly instruments in a workshop led by Jonas Koukl. Koukl, 32, holds a masters in primary education with a focus on music and music therapy. He conducted workshops for many

years in the Czech Republic, his homeland. In his koha weekly workshop, Music CoCreation, people can try their hand at playing some of hundreds of music therapy instruments. The allure of the experience is that you can’t make a mistake – even if you tried – and no musical experience is

necessary. Pictured is James McDonald, 10 years old, of Masterton. • The workshops run from 6pm until 7.30pm at Aratoi in Masterton each Tuesday. • For more information visit connectingmusic.nz or call Jonas Koukl on 02108421552.

Rogue golf balls no more Solway resident Vic Gadsby [above] is “over the moon” at the thought of Solway Park’s golf driving range being closed. Gadsby spoke to the Wairarapa Times-Age in July last year after becoming fed up with his property being peppered by more than 1000 rogue golf balls over 20 years. His George St home neighbours the hotel’s driving range which was built about 18 years ago. Over the years, he’s Solway Country Estate is the latest in a number of large scale developments in Masterton. Wairarapa Jennian Homes expects to start its $70m development of 120 homes oﬀ Ngaumutawa Rd by early next year, furniture chain store Big Save Furniture will open its Queen St store by May, and construction of the multi-million-dollar Tumu ITM store on the corner of Ngaumutawa Rd and State Highway 2 has begun. “This progress is a result of Masterton District Council’s forward thinking and a willingness to work with developers to overcome obstacles and encourage future economic growth,” Pilbrow said. Masterton Mayor Lyn Patterson said the development showed faith in the town’s continued growth. “I’m thrilled that there is conﬁdence in our district to have a 70unit retirement village developed. “It’s further

had to deal with smashed lounge windows, damage to vehicles, broken spouting, and holes in rooﬁng as a result of wayward golf balls. Gadsby spoke from a hospital bed yesterday after an eye operation and said he was “thrilled” the land was going to be redeveloped. “If that does go ahead, that is going to solve a lot of problems, not just for us but our neighbours too,” he said. demonstration of Masterton’s strong growth phase over recent years.” Pilbrow said residents at the estate would have access to membership of the park’s facilities including swimming pools, gym, and squash and tennis courts, as well as discounts at the café, restaurant and bar. Trust House chief executive Allan Pollard said use of the driving range had declined and this new development was a step forward for the underused land. “The land will now be developed to build more homes for our region, this makes it a very good deal for our community and its economic development,” he said. Pilbrow was behind the Greytown Hub development in 2016, and The Plains subdivisions in Upper Plain. He also has proposed to build a four-storey apartment and retail block along Greytown’s Main St.

Masterton will lose its golf driving range to make way for a $35 million retirement village development. The proposed development at the Copthorne Hotel & Resort Solway Park will see a lifestyle retirement village of 70 villas built on the land the hotel’s golf driving range occupies. Construction is expected to start early next year. Developer Steve Pilbrow of Westwood Group has purchased 5.4ha of land surrounding the resort from Trust House. The development, to be named Solway Country Estate, will have a mix of two- and three-bedroom units, with either single or double garages, all with freehold titles, accessed from the end of William Donald Dr. Pilbrow said the council had already approved the subdivision of the driving range land for the villas, with resource consent for the villas themselves in the “ﬁnal throes” of being completed. Masterton District Council is yet to conﬁrm this. Pilbrow had plans in 2015 to build a $30m retirement village in Upper Plain on the land he had bought from the Salvation Army. But at the end of 2016, he announced a new housing development on the same site after a discussion with the Wairarapa District Health Board, which expressed concern of an oversupply of high dependency retirement facilities in the region. Greytown is also set to get a retirement village which will be built on one of the town’s last remaining orchards, Murphy’s Orchard. Developer Craig Percy expected construction to begin in late 2019.

6 Wairarapa Midweek Local News Wednesday, August 15, 2018

Give it up for Masterton East I moved to Masterton 27 years ago and it was on day two of our arrival that we experienced the social divide between the east side and west side of Masterton. It was a Sunday and after a wander around town we ended up in a little gift shop called Talents, I think it was, which was on the site where Entice Cafe now stands. Two ladies behind the counter were deep in conversation. Air hillair, one of them said to us, are you just visiting? No, I said, we have just moved here. Oh lovely, have you bought? (her exact words). Yes, I said. Oh, whereabouts? Church Street, I said. Oh! And with that, snooty lady one turned to snooty lady two and carried on their conversation, completely ignoring us. I still see snooty lady two around town and I have a little smile to myself in remembrance. I also noticed in the paper, real estate ads which proclaimed a property as being WEST SIDE. I don’t recall ever seeing

McJorrow Park on Masterton’s East Side. PHOTO/FILE

telling you that they lived up on the hill. Where do you live? Such and such a street, LANSDOWNE. I never heard the same proclamation for KURIPUNI OR SOLWAY! I soon took it for granted that the sun always shone in Lansdowne. Dogs never barked, cars had odourless exhausts, the dump truck only came at night so as not to upset anyone, and everybody had a beautiful ‘hice and grinds’.

Comment

Graeme Burnard and some nice streets mixed in with some very ordinary homes and ordinary streets. Funnily enough, just like EAST SIDE actually. We soon also learned about the Lansdowne Luvvies. Those who insisted on

any which said EAST SIDE. It was usually, “close to town” or “great ﬁrst home opportunity” or “perfect family home”. I wondered what was so special about WEST SIDE, so we had a look. Yes, some nice homes

WINTER WARMERS

One Saturday, we packed a picnic and took on the north face of Mount Lansdowne to see what all the fuss was about. By the time we heard the third dog barking and got cut oﬀ at the pass by the dump truck, in broad daylight I might add, we realised that nothing was that diﬀerent up there so we came home. Quite frankly I couldn’t see what all the fuss was about. Interestingly enough, when I was a cab driver,

the only time I ever had a runner, that’s someone who jumps out of a cab and runs oﬀ without paying, it was from a WEST SIDE address and even more interesting, of the three worst streets in Masterton for noise and anti-social behaviour, one is on the WEST SIDE and the other two are in LANSDOWNE. I won’t name them but I am sure they know who they are. So as far as I see it, EAST SIDE rocks, okay?

South Wairarapa District Council

Review of Representation Arrangements For the 2019 Local Elections On 8 August 2018 the South Wairarapa District Council reviewed its representation arrangements, pursuant to Section 19H of the Local Electoral Act 2001, and resolved that the following proposal apply for the Council and its Community Boards for the election to be held on 12 October 2019: Council Representation It is proposed that the Council will comprise 9 members elected from three wards, and the Mayor. The three wards reflect the following identified communities of interest: Featherston Ward

Greytown Ward

Martinborough Ward

The summit of the Remutaka and Tararua Ranges on the northwest, the Tauherenikau River and State Highway 53 on the northeast, Ruamahanga River and the east side of Lake Onoke on the southeast, and the coastline of Palliser Bay on the south. The summit of the Tararua Ranges on the northwest, the Hector and Waiohine Rivers on the northeast, the Ruamahanga River on the east and Tauherenikau River and State Highway 53 on the southwest. The Ruamahanga River on the northwest, the Pohatuniki Stream the Whangaehu River, the Wainuioru River, and the Waihingaia Stream on the northeast, the coastline round to Lake Onoke on the southeast and southwest.

The population that each member will represent is as follows: Ward Featherston Ward Greytown Ward Martinborough Ward Totals

In accordance with section 19V(2) of the Local Electoral Act 2001 the population that each member represents must be within the range of 1,138 +/- 10% (1,024 to 1,252) unless particular community of interest considerations justify otherwise. All three wards fall inside the stipulated range, therefore no change to ward boundaries is proposed. The Council considers that the existing ward boundaries are well established over a long period of time and deeply embedded in the minds of the various communities of interest. Community Board Representation It is proposed that three community boards will be elected. The three community boards will be: Community Boards

Geoff Dennis and his hand-made works.

Crafting is a labour of love Emily Ireland Geoff Dennis has been referred to as Masterton’s very own Geppetto, making all sorts of things from model fire engines to pretend kitchen appliances for children. Having embraced his craft at the age of 70, one could say he was a bit of a late starter, but Geoff is more than making up for lost time, spending up to 500 hours on each of his meticulously made models. It all started about a decade ago when he saw a quad bike on television and thought, “I wonder if I can make something like that”. And so, he did – “and it just kept growing from there – just using the imagination”. Geoff admits he has limited room for his creations – he’s got stuff in storage “down the road” from his house, and he practically filled the entranceway to his house with his works last week as he spoke to the Midweek. “I love it, but I’ve got no room for it.” One of his recent creations, which he has already handed over to the new owner, was a model Martinborough Transport

truck. He showed off a photo of the model, which looked as if it were life-sized, parked up in a gravel yard. It’s only until you see some garden ornaments in the background of the photo that you realise the ‘gravel yard’ pictured is in fact a small path. Geoff has also created quite a few model logging trucks over the years, as well as stock cars, and dragsters. And although Geoff does sell his works, it is mainly a labour of love – “you never get back the hours you put into it – never”. Geoff said he considered himself lucky to have a wife who was supportive of his craft – “she’s passionate

about crafts and has done it her whole life”, he said. “She gives me a lot of encouragement.” He also said his father would have been proud of his work if he were still alive – “he used to make little boats and scotch money boxes with the kilt”. “He was very good at art, but never had the opportunity to really pursue it. “I’m sure he would be thrilled to see what I am doing if he were alive.” Most of Geoff’s creations are sold and commissioned by word of mouth. • He can be contacted on 06 3788603 for custom orders.

GARDEN

YARN

WITH

Seeds from scratch - a rewarding task

MOON CALENDAR

Have you ever tried your hand at growing your vegetable garden from seeds you have sown yourself? It can be a very rewarding experience: saving you money, can be a healthy hobby to do as a family – you might even entice the kids to try some new and exotic vegetables grown from our extensive seed range!

NEW MOON - August 11TH FULL MOON - August 26TH

WHEN TO SOW Timing is important when it comes to seed sowing. Seeds come in two main categories. Warm Weather Seeds such as tomatoes, cucumbers & peppers need a warm environment and warm soil to grow (otherwise the seeds may not sprout and won’t tolerate frost). Most warm weather seeds will grow better when started off indoors. Slow growing seeds, seeds that need warm soil and cold hardy vegetables that need a long growing season (such as broccoli & cauliflower) usually do better when started off inside. Most cold hardy seeds can be direct sown and

Keeping Things Green – create a warm environment for your seeds with plastic bottles.

do better if they are planted directly into a well prepared, weed free garden. Some plants don’t transplant well – most root crops, carrots, beets & radishes are good examples of this. Cover with a cloche until the soil warms up, or you could even recycle your old plastic drink bottles and use those as a “green” cloche. Fast growing warm weather seeds like beans & corn can be direct sown. If you’re unsure check on the back of the seed packet. This will give you an indication of when to sow for what region.

WHAT DO YOU NEED? Lots of seed sowing can be started now – you can even start your heat loving crops such as tomatoes. To speed the process up you could invest in a quality heat pad (we have these at GardenBarn). You will also need a seed tray, some quality seed raising mix and of course,

GIVE YOUR SEEDLINGS A HEADSTART with the Super 7 quality heated propagator

your choice of seeds. We stock seeds from Kings, Yates, McGregors, Mr Fothergills, and our pick of the bunch – seeds from our exclusive ican range. The ican range has been especially selected so you get higher yielding, better tasting more disease resistance crops.

WHAT DO YOU DO? Fill the tray with quality seed raising mix to about 3cm from the top. Level and firm down the mix with a piece of board. Water thoroughly and let drain for a couple of hours. When drained, divide the tray into four sections (more or less) and lay a stick or something similar on the surface to clearly show the divisions. Lightly press the stick into the surface so it won’t move. Open the seed packet and roughly estimate how many seeds are there and how many plants you want to have. A quarter of a GardenBarn tray can grow around 50 first stage seedlings. A tray divided into four

sections should yield about 160 seedlings to be “pricked out” later. Thinly sow approx. 60 seeds into the given area which allows for some seeds not to germinate. Here at GardenBarn we then spread an even, thin layer of pumice straight over the seeds rather than more seed raising mix, but people have differing opinions. Don’t cover too deep or the seed will take too long to germinate (or not at all). Don’t forget to LABEL EACH VARIETY! Then cover the seed tray with newspaper; this keeps the moisture in and also keeps the seeds dark, which aids germination. Find a nice warm spot (out of direct sunlight), ideally on a heat pad. Germination times will vary depending

on what you’re growing and they shouldn’t need a water, but check on them every few days. Before you know it you’ll have seeds sprouting out and you’ll be ready for the next phase of hand rearing your garden from scratch!

We recommend using a quality seed raising mix such as Daltons Premium or Daltons Organic Seed Raising Mix.

We can be spoilt for choice when it comes to what seeds to sow, but ican have made the decision making easy for you. If there’s a seed in the ican range – then it’s the best seed available. Unfortunately we are unable to sell pea seed in the Wairarapa again due to the pea weevil, check out the MPI website for more information.

Local road users discussing ways to make SH2 safer. PHOTO/ CAL ROBERTS

High turnout for road drop-in Cal Roberts Local road users were urged to “think of the bigger picture” when it came to safety improvements on State Highway 2 between Masterton and Carterton last week. Plenty of locals heeded the call of the New Zealand Transport Agency [NZTA] to provide feedback at a drop-in at Solway Primary School. Sally Davies wanted more space for her horse-drawn carriage. She said it would be beneﬁcial to all if there was more room for drivers to pass slower moving road users safely. “I’m a fan of four lanes.” In the middle of the Solway school hall a large printed map of the road featured with notes with improvements from visitors. They included “median barrier on open road sections, or wider centre line” and “no roundabouts … think of the bigger picture”. Automobile Association Wairarapa’s Handley Thomson was surprised by the big turnout and glad to see NZTA listening to suggestions from people who knew the road best. “I hope they take special note of them,

prioritise, and get on with it.” On Tuesday, Carterton Mayor John Booth and his Masterton counterpart Lyn Patterson both expressed support for a roundabout at Norfolk Rd. Patterson also favoured a roundabout at Ngaumutawa Rd, near Solway School. The school’s principal Mark Bridges told NZTA, mayors and engineers about speciﬁc challenges the school faced. He said the intersection and the road in front of the school was busy, and as the region grew, it would only get busier. “It’s a bit of a nightmare, at three o’clock in particular.” He said because the school’s zoning was spread out, the majority of children came to school by car or bus. The school’s roll was increasing with more than 300 students enrolled next year. Patterson shared Bridges’ view. “It’s just a messy, confusing intersection for many.” A suggestion that the school could be moved, after being on the site for 100 years this year, prompted a quick response from the principal. “We were here ﬁrst.”

Pole position

Emily Ireland Cimone Grayson initially thought that Pilates wasn’t for her. That was before she met Erena Rangiwhetu, an accredited Pilates and Pole Fitness instructor who offered Pilates with a twist. Now the dynamic duo run the recently re-opened Efit studio in Carterton. At first glance, one might say the new fitness joint is in a dream spot – it’s on the main street and is right next door to Balter Bar & Kitchen – for those inclined to top off a fitness session with a craft beer. But upon entering the premises, it becomes clear that not only is the Efit studio in pole position, so are its patrons. Greeting those who enter the building are several poles measuring 3.2m – and they’re not there to reinforce the roof. They’re there for the Pole Fitness element of Efit, a skill that improves strength, tone and confidence in those taking part. Pilates is also a vital component of the studio which increases muscle tone and creates full body strength, as well as many other health benefits. Erena is the only Pole Fitness instructor in the Wairarapa. She first opened her business in the

heart of Carterton in 2015 but, with more than 100 clients, it became difficult managing the business load on her own. That’s where Cimone came into the picture – she once was a pupil but is now Erena’s partner in business – the ‘yin’ to Erena’s very energetic ‘yang’. “Erena’s vitality is a huge part of the class, the confidence she gives to those who attend is incredible” said Cimone. “Most people comment that [doing class at Efit] is their best night out. “There’s camaraderie, the social aspect, the music, excitement . . . we all have fun.” Erena added: “I’ll push you to work hard, help strengthen your body and educate you on how best to work with what you’ve got but, I’ll make sure that you are having fun.” Reflecting on the business’s rebirth – it officially reopened on August 6 – Erena said, “I’ve already done this, but not this well”. “Cimone adds a fresh approach to the

Premier Beehive expansion caught in limbo Pam Graham

The $10 million extension of Carterton’s Premier Beehive factory is in limbo following the collapse of Ebert Construction. Ebert, based in Wellington, was placed in receivership at the end of last month, leaving the future of what it believed to be Wairarapa’s biggest commercial building project up in the air. The site was locked down by receivers Pricewaterhouse Coopers. Premier Beehive managing director Dene McKay said the situation was disappointing as the building work Ebert was doing was 75 to 80 per cent complete. Receiver John Fisk said his team was working hard to establish the viability of each of Ebert’s contracts. If the receiver decided not to complete the work, Premier Beehive would have to get someone else in to do it.

The factory is categorised as an unsecured creditor in terms of trying to recover any losses on the contract. Secured creditors rank ahead of unsecured creditors, but Fisk could not say how much in each dollar either were likely to get so early in the receivership process. He has estimated a total of $40 million of losses in the receivership. Rob Summers, the owner of Waterwise Wairarapa, was one of the few local contractors to win work on the project. He said his financial exposure to the receivership was “quite bad” but he didn’t want to disclose how much. He had taken on extra staff after winning the contract to do plumbing and drainage work on the project. As he also did work for Premier Beehive itself, he was hopeful he would be able to continue to provide employment for his staff. The project was an extension to be used

for producing new sausages and bacon, new oﬃces and a washroom for staﬀ. Fisk has said receivers were called in because the board of directors got new information about poorly-performing contracts in Auckland and passed a resolution to request the bank to appoint receivers. Ebert had several well-performing contracts, but the receiver hasn’t disclosed if Premier Beehive was one of these. The factory extension was due to be completed in November. Premier Beehive is one of the largest employers in Wairarapa and produces a third of the country’s bacon at its factory on Moreton Rd. The company started life as a pig processor in 1991 and has changed hands several times since the Reid family sold. It is now owned by JBS, a Brazilian company that is the largest meat processing company in the world.

studio . . . we complement each other.” Cimone is trained in ballet and leads the ‘Open Stretch & Barre’ classes with Erena. Erena said Efit’s patrons were a varied demographic. “Our clients are from all walks of life – from farmers and firemen to mums with young families and everything in between.” “People walk out of here feeling completely satisfied, everyone is learning to engage muscles, strengthen their core and building friendships too, it’s a fun place to be.” Classes on offer vary from ‘Mums & Bubs’ at midday to ‘Open Pole’, ‘Early Bird Pilates’, and ‘Beginners Pole’. “This town is amazing,” she said. “No one has frowned upon the fact that we teach Pole Fitness – there’s definitely been intrigue and a tilt of the head, but never a frown. This town is so diverse and open minded, Carterton is growing and the desire to be healthier and therefore happier is front of mind”. Cimone said the Efit space would soon grow to allow other instructors who offer complementary fitness services, a one stop shop of fitness classes. • For more information, visit www.efit. rocks.

Opinion

Togetherness: Be real about how you feel Being able to come from a place of pain and turn it into something beautiful is a real talent. And it’s what I find so touching about the suicide awareness fundraiser next month at Sacred Art Tattoo & Piercing. The chances of you, or someone you know, being affected by mental illness are pretty high. But we’ve had it ingrained in us to keep our mental health issues on a need-to-know basis or hide it completely from the world. The problem this creates is that we live with the illusion that everyone else’s lives and state of minds are perfect except our own. This can feel very isolating and can force us to crawl deeper into ourselves instead of reaching out to our friends and families. This needs to stop, and the change starts with you and me. Let’s talk. Anxiety and frequent

WHERE IN THE WORLD

Emily Ireland panic attacks were a major part of my life last year, and it has been one of those things that just when I think I have kicked it in the butt, it comes back, knocking on the door. I would turn down so many opportunities to go places, meet new people, and live my life to the full because I was so deep in my own head that just the thought of walking out the house would turn my stomach. I’d never experienced anything like anxiety before this, and I had it in my head that there was no one else going through the same thing I was – how could anyone possibly understand why I felt the way I was feeling when I didn’t understand it myself?

On the other side of the battle now, I’m very open about mental health with people I meet. And once I open up about it, almost everyone I have spoken to replies with: “You get anxiety? Me too!”. I’m open about my state of mind because I wish that more people had told me truthfully about theirs. If you are going through a hard time, or you can relate to the impact of mental health in our community, I would encourage you to attend Sacred Art’s suicide awareness event. And if you do attend, be real about how you feel. You might just realise how ‘not alone’ you are in this world when you open up.

COMMUNITY CENTRE BUZZ Beverley Jack Wairarapa Community Centre manager The Wairarapa Community Centre has been actively supporting our community since 2002. This week we are celebrating the achievement of one of the trainees from our Training Centre. The Community Centre offers opportunities to those who want to retrain or return to the workforce in the administration/ reception sector. Donna Robinson has successfully completed an Introduction to Administration and Reception. To achieve this, she has demonstrated competence in a wide range of core skills and is now seeking employment opportunities where she can use those skills and extend them. As well as giving Donna the opportunity to develop her skills, being involved in the Training Centre has also helped her to build links to her new community after moving here from Hawkes Bay. Please contact Donna through the Community Centre if you know of any employment opportunities that may suit.

Your next BFF? I am a good natured male cross breed dog found by Animal Services roaming on a country road. I am friendly, playful and generally a good guy, looking for my forever home. I love to walk on a leash and I sit and wait for my meals, which is a great start but more training would be awesome. I like to play with other dogs and the other animals I’ve met so far don’t bother me. If you have the time to exercise and train me then give MDC Animal Services a call. I could be your next BFF. For more information please call Animal Services 06 370 6300

Mini and Murphy are besties. Both are ex-feral kittens who were lucky enough to be trapped and plucked from a feral existence. Mini is about four months old and Murphy six months. Mini is the sister of Mr Baby from another litter — unfortunately their feral mum hasn’t been trapped yet, despite our best efforts, so is still out there producing kittens. They come from opposite ends of the Wairarapa — Mini from Masterton and Murphy from rural Featherston. Thrown together at a foster carer’s house in Masterton, they are great playmates. They are both affectionate and love cuddles. They’re typical kittens who race around playing then collapse and nap for hours. Due to their feral background they will be shy with their adopted family for a few weeks and potential adopters need to have patience until they get to know you. They would be best suited to a quiet home. Both girls are desexed, vaccinated and up to date with flea/worm treatment. As the girls are bonded they will need to be adopted together. Their combined adoption fee is $160. If you’re interested in these two munchkins, call Lee on 021 0843 8935 or email kittycatrehoming@gmail.com. • KittyCat Rehoming Wairarapa is a registered Charitable Trust no.CC54963 that works across the Wairarapa to find loving homes for stray and abandoned cats and assists owners in difficult circumstances to rehome their cats. Their Facebook page has been unpublished by Facebook. They hope to have it up and running again soon.

Fundraising coordinator needed

KittyCat Rehoming Wairarapa is looking for a fundraising coordinator to help them with various promotional efforts. They are a small voluntary animal charity who are dedicated to the care of the region’s cats/kittens in need, and help with their fundraising would be really appreciated. Please call Jim on 027 8219 216.

Greytown Menz Shed members and the public outside the new shed on Saturday. PHOTO/JADE CVETKOV

Beckie Wilson A brand-new shed was unveiled over the weekend at the Greytown Menz Shed site, a space for more projects, and morning tea. “Because that’s what it’s all about, networking and socialising and being together,” spokesperson John Boon said. The men’s shed oﬃcially opened a new building onsite, a four-year project to give members more space to complete community projects and socialise. The new building, West Wing, is fully equipped with two toilets, commercial kitchen, a smoko room and a large workshop. The additional

workshop will be a “dustfree” workspace for the ﬁnal stages of a project such as vanishing and could eventually become an area for computers and a 3D printer, Boon said. The original workshop was crammed with large machinery and tools, but the new workshop would make everything safer with more space, he said. The basic frame of the building was built by local contractors, while a team of members, led by Ron Allan, completed the rest to save money. The men’s shed opened in 2015 and welcomed both men and women as members. Over the years, the 50-

odd members had been saving for the project, and also received grants from Eastern and Central Community Trust, and Trust House. The Greytown Community Board also donated money for the “beautiﬁcation” side of things including trees and signage. Boon said the members had a running “gag” leading up to the opening day — whether or not Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip could make the event. So, a cardboard cut-out of the Queen “brieﬂy attended”. “It’s about having fun,” Boon said.

Real bread, crafted with love, since 1942 The opening of Breadcraft’s new tortilla wrap plant coincides with the diamond anniversary of the Masterton business. Breadcraft was founded by Harold Cockburn in the middle of World War II. Harold specialised in cakes, pastry goods and bread, baking and selling them in Queen Street next door to the Regent Theatre. Breadcraft grew to become the region’s largest bakery and in 1962 moved to premises in Lincoln Road which housed its first modern plant bakery, producing some 800 loaves per hour. The following 15 years saw major changes in the New Zealand baking industry and Breadcraft embraced the new innovations, increasing its range of quality breads which were delivered daily from its automated plant. The company was the first in the region to introduce sliced, packaged bread. In 1968, Breadcraft was one of five regional bakeries that formed Quality Bakers (NZ) Ltd co-operative. Today it is one of only two independently-owned baking plants in the group. By 1972, now under the management of Harold’s son Bob Cockburn, Breadcraft had outgrown the Lincoln Road premises and commissioned the Breadcraft’s first shop and bakery next to the Regent Theatre.

Wednesday, August 15, 2018 Wairarapa Midweek

Breadcraft marks 75 years of baking for its community building of a new facility at its present Judds Road site. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s the company continued to consolidate and grow. Peter Rewi joined the company as CEO of the Breadcraft operation in 1983. Peter remembers Bob as “an entrepreneurial adventurous guy and I respected him for being an excellent manager – he really looked after his staff. They were the most important thing to him.” Bob’s son John Cockburn unofficially joined the business as a six-year-old weighing up ingredients for 25 cents an hour. He officially became an employee in 1987, starting as a labourer and eventually taking charge of new product development, a role he still has. John’s wife Julie-Anne Cockburn worked as a qualified accountant before joining Breadcraft in 1997 as a sales rep, then national sales rep, and finally its accountant. In 1991, Breadcraft was again at the cutting-edge of innovation, installing New Zealand’s most advanced baking plant capable of producing 3000 loaves per hour in a new baking hall which

doubled the original factory size. Throughout the 1990s, Breadcraft focused on adding new bread products, resulting in the company becoming one of the most innovative and diversified bakeries in the country. The bread market has changed dramatically and Breadcraft has played a major part in meeting these changes. It still provides product for the Quality Bakers group under strong household brand names as Molenberg, Vogels and MacKenzie. More recently Breadcraft has expanded its range of innovative, quality products to include an impressive range of specialty breads, cakes and puddings. Today Breadcraft is one of the Wairarapa’s larger employers with 120 staff. It believes in investing in its employees through ongoing training and currently has four apprentice bakers. Supporting the local community has always been of great importance to Breadcraft and it continues to do so in a variety of ways, including sponsorship and donations of product for fundraising activities.

Prime Minister to open new tortilla wrap plant Tomorrow sees the official opening of Breadcraft’s new tortilla wrap plant with Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern cutting the ribbon after a tour of the Masterton bakery. The state-of-the-art plant pumps out 20,000 tortillas per hour, way beyond what Breadcraft was able to deliver before. Innovations such as automatic vision sensing improves the consistency and quality of the product as well, which means less waste and improved efficiency. The plant represents part of the future for the Judds Road business which is now one of only a handful of familyowned industrial bakers left in New Zealand. Established by Harold Cockburn in December 1942, Breadcraft is now guided by his grandson John Cockburn and John’s wife Julie-Anne Cockburn, business partner Peter Rewi, and recently appointed CEO Phil Holden. “The old plant had run out of capacity and would no longer offer the standards we wanted to achieve in the future so we decided to invest again in this category – get the best gear available on the planet – put a great team around it and it’s already paying dividends”, says John. “There is a growing consumer focus

Guardians of Breadcraft’s galaxy of breads from left - Phil Holden, Peter Rewi and John and Julie-Anne Cockburn. on wraps and this plant will ensure we keep up with demand, move quality and consistency to new levels and be able to offer our customers the very best. “Breadcraft needs to be a worldclass operation within this and all its product categories, and this purchase ensures we can reach what we term ‘best practice’ in this important market segment.” “The purchase is part of our growth strategy,” Julie-Anne says. “The next year will be a pivotal one for Breadcraft as we set new foundations in which to build upon”, she says. “It’s about investing in our team and preparing to take advantage of new opportunities.” Much of Breadcraft’s growth has come from the contributions of long-serving business partner and mentor to the Cockburn family Peter Rewi, who is retiring at the end of the year after 35 years with the company. “We’ve obviously learnt a lot from Peter. We’ve had the very best to learn from and the ‘mana’ he has earnt throughout the industry is immense,” John says. “Peter and Diane will continue to live in Masterton and we will keep his apron handy . . . just in case”. “As part of its growth strategy, Breadcraft has formed an Advisory Board which gives them the ability to

take a ‘helicopter’ view of the operation and gain valuable insights from those that experience a far wider market exposure than what we do.” Peter adds, “One of the risks of running the same business for many years is that you can get too focused on the issues of the day and do not spend enough time exploring opportunities for tomorrow and with the speed of change in the marketplace today, that’s really something the company cannot afford to risk.” The team welcomed Phil Holden to the group in February this year as its new CEO. “Phil’s personal values are very much aligned with those of Breadcraft,” says John. “His brief is to ensure the operation continues to be run as a family business supporting the community as much as possible but adding structured disciplines that allows us to build world-class capabilities.” There are plenty of opportunities for Breadcraft to capture a larger share of the New Zealand market, as well as increasing its exports through extended distribution networks, says Peter. “We have aspirations for growth and we have all the resources we need to allow us to move forward,” says John. “There’s really nothing we can’t do here.”

Lakeview School principal TIM NELSON endeavours to learn something new every day by reading books, listening to podcasts, and engaging with a wide range of other content. Keep learning throughout your whole life

This advice is shared by Yuval Noah Harare, author of the international bestseller Sapiens. Yuval believes that we should always be learning new things, as the world is constantly changing and we need to be ready for and be able to adapt to these changes. To be ready and adaptable we need the skills and knowledge to empower us for whatever awaits. In the past, there may have been a belief that we spend the ﬁrst period of our lives learning what we need to know to get us through the remainder of our lives. With the rate of change, if we want to survive and prosper, this is no longer the case. If we want to thrive we need to take personal responsibility to put ourselves in the necessary prepared position to confront the future with conﬁdence.

Discipline equals freedom

Jocko Willink is a former Navy SEAL who served on active duty for more than 20 years before going on to become a lead SEAL instructor. He is a wealth of knowledge and advice, with one great example being ‘discipline equals freedom’. By this Jocko means that there are many types of freedoms that we want in life, such as financial freedom, freedom to do the things you want to do (essentially free time), and freedom from health issues. To get this freedom we need the discipline to make positive financial decisions, use a time management system, and make positive choices with diet and exercise. If you implement systems around discipline you will get the freedom you seek, but it does take effort and you will need to work for it.

Prioritise and execute

More advice from Jocko Willink – this time for when you’re feeling overwhelmed with everything you need to do. Jocko has a very simple process,

Midweek Musings

Tim Nelson this being to prioritise and execute. This simply means going to your number one task and working on it, either until it has been completed or for a set time period. This strategy will give you that sense of accomplishment that will then lead to the momentum needed to get things done. The prioritising aspect also ensures that you’re not avoiding those tasks that are important, which we often keep moving from day to day on our to do lists without ever addressing them.

You’re not going to remember, so write it down or record it

Every idea that I share on this page is based on an experience I have had, something I have read, or something I have seen. In almost all cases, I record the idea as soon as it has happened, or I come across it. However, there are times when I don’t record them, thinking that I’ll remember it when I need to. The truth is that in almost all cases I don’t remember the idea, meaning it’s so very important to write it down immediately; if I don’t, it won’t be there when I need it, as is the case for something I had planned to record for today’s column!

What CAN you do?

Mike Rolls is a double amputee who lost both legs after contracting meningitis; the second leg was actually amputated nine years after the ﬁrst leg was removed. Mike also lost two ﬁngers on his right hand. After having gone through the trials and struggles of losing his limbs, Mike now has a new-found attitude that is based on what he can do, not what he can’t do. One example is the freedom he now has to do things that were

inaccessible to him before the second leg was removed, with one example being running. Mike is now playing golf at a very high level and shares his motivational story all around the world. He has taken adversity and turned it into a positive story and example for others to follow.

We are so lucky to have books

When Leonardo da Vinci was in his early 50s, something he treasured and valued was his collection of books – he had 116 that were used as a source of knowledge and inspiration for many of the projects he undertook in his life. How lucky are we to have access to so much more than Leonardo ever did! There are hundreds of thousands of books that we can access, either to buy for a fraction of the relative value that Leonardo had to spend, or we can get them for nothing through local libraries.

Read the classics

I have just started reading a Sherlock Holmes book, a series of short stories that were written almost 150 years ago. The book is a school text that has been given to my daughter that is required reading for her and I just happened to pick it up. What I have found is that the book, one that I would never have deliberately chosen, is a great read and absolutely fascinating and enjoyable (although the language is a little diﬀerent to the way in which we speak now). I’ll ﬁnish this book and try a few more of the classics. This will give me access to a range of great books that have been enjoyed for, in some cases, hundreds of years, but I had never even thought about reading.

Genuine connection the key to friendship in older age

PHOTO/GETTY IMAGES

Piano lover’s fantasy Residents of Kandahar Home enjoy a friendly get-together at the local pub. Friendship is one of the most valuable gifts one can give. Yet making friends seems to become more and more difficult as we age. With rates of loneliness rising among elders, how do we ensure they have opportunities to enjoy genuine connection? “We always start with just trying to make sure every resident feels comfortable and free to just be themselves, as that’s when genuine, real interactions can take place,” says Kandahar Home and Court manager Peter Newman. “Everyone has their own way of opening up to others, so for us it’s about providing residents with a variety of ways to make that happen.” At the Masterton home, attractive shared lounges, kitchen spaces, gardens and walkways all help ensure residents feel comfortable inviting over family and friends at any time of day and for any occasion. Residents also enjoy bonding with each other at activities such as arts and crafts, indoor bowls, quizzes, card games,

and gentle exercise – all regularly organised by the home as part of its tailored recreation and activity programme. “I’m not a big word game person, but sometimes I join in just to see what’s happening,” chuckles resident Glennys Stuart. “It’s a nice excuse to do something different and I enjoy having a chat with the other residents.” Spontaneous outings and activities, like heading out to the pub with friends, are another important part of life at the home. “It’s nice sometimes to be able to get out, grab a drink together and just be silly. There doesn’t always have to be a reason. At the end of the day it’s about the company, not the activity,” says resident Pat Lambert. Enliven’s Kandahar Home in Masterton offers rest home and hospital care, respite and health recovery care, and a day programme. To find out more, visit www.enlivencentral.org.nz or call 06 370 0447.

After several years of devoting himself to teaching at the NZ School of Music in Wellington, pianist Richard Mapp is embarking on a recital tour for Chamber Music New Zealand in September as part of their 2018 Encompass Regional Series. He will give a preview concert at 4pm at 57 Wood Street, Greytown on Sunday, August 19. Featuring a range of significant works from the Invention of Bach to Messiaen’s beautiful Meditation on biblical themes, this concert will be a piano lover’s fantasy. The programme explores the full range and power of the piano: lush and romantic music from

Brahms, the poetic grief of Chopin’s Nocturne, Schubert’s stormy yet playful Three Piano Pieces, and, says Richard, a “wonderful” piece by Kenneth Young. Richard showed musical promise early, making his solo debut at the age of 12 with the Christchurch Civic Orchestra, playing Mendelssohn’s 1st Piano concerto. He studied with Ernest Empson, a Godowsky pupil, and later at Otago University with Maurice Till, who in turn had been a pupil of Empson. He pursued his musical studies in London at the Royal Academy of Music. His Wigmore Hall debut was very well received, and a successful

Great time to view planets Sky Watch

Nick Sault As I write this one, it seems like the sun will never shine again, which also usually means the stars will never return. Anyway, I hope it is clear when this publication is out, as it will be the best week for catching Venus. Venus reaches greatest elongation on Saturday. In terms of viewing the planet it means it will be at its highest point in the sky after dark. This also means that it will appear its brightest, as it will spend the longest time in a dark sky. Due to Venus being on the inside track of us, it’s easy to imagine that there’s a limit to how separated from the sun it can get. Venus is so bright, however, that it is easy to spot in twilight, but then because of its relative proximity to the sun it is often setting before the sky gets completely black. This week, Venus will not set until after 9pm, so in a dark sky at 8pm it will look truly spectacular viewed from a dark place. It won’t matter that the moon will be close by in

Virgo, as our rocky satellite will be a thin new crescent tonight, and a delightful match for the brilliant Venus. If you are about just before 6.30pm, there is another surprise in the region of Venus. The Chinese satellite Tiangong 2 will come from behind Venus at 6.29pm and head past it, crossing high overhead and spending nearly five-anda-half minutes in the sky before disappearing low in the eastern sky. Not as bright as the International Space Station (ISS), but this will be a bright showing for Tiangong 2, as it catches the sun just right. Back in June, the satellite surprised observers when it dropped into an orbit 95km lower than normal. People speculated that it was heading for a crash, like its predecessor Tiangong 1. However, it was boosted back up to its normal orbit (390 kms), in what seems the end of an exercise to test its guidance systems. Trust the Chinese to keep

Saturn and its moon, Titan.

us all guessing. The fun does not end there. Next Tuesday, you can’t fail to pinpoint the planet Saturn, as that old moon, much fatter than a week ago, will be sitting right by that distant planet.

PHOTO/GETTY IMAGES

And talking about Saturn, I thought this wonderful photo taken by a Cassini spacecraft flyby shows how huge it is. Beside it is its largest moon, Titan, which is much larger than our moon and nearly half as

wide as Earth. I am fairly sure the markings on the planet are shadows of its rings, while the rings are seen nearly edge on. Up next: ISS shows its brilliance on two evenings.

Cooking for those in need The ROAR from Zone 4 Wairarapa Lions Activities for July 2018

The Lions International Convention at Las Vegas held recently, inducted the first woman international president Gudrun Yngvadottir into the organisation. President Gudrun’s homeland is Iceland. Her theme is, “We Serve – We serve the world, our local communities, our neighbours and each other with unmatched kindness and pride. We are a global force for good with a century of experience and compassion. When we channel the power of more than 1.4 million Lions, we can reach new horizons of service together”. Carterton Lions Club recently lost one of the few remaining Charter members, with the sad passing of Mick Rayner. Ralph Ian ‘Mick’ Rayner was the Club’s first president in its charter year of 1969 and he repeated that effort again in 1999/2000. Mick was very well known within the

wider community and was a highly respected, caring member of the club, filling the position of Almoner in a wonderful passionate manner. Sadly Mick will not be a part of the 50th Charter Anniversary next year but the Club will make sure he is duly remembered. Carterton Central Lions Club members are preparing to cater for the “Fabric a Brac” event at Southend School Carterton, September 15, 10am until 2pm. Plants are being prepared

for selling at the Farmers Market in Carterton on November 4. A donation of $200 has been sent to LCI for the Japan flooding appeal. President Nita recently attended the District 202M President’s Weekend in Napier. Masterton Holdsworth Lions Club team was first up to do the “Community Kitchen” cooking at the start of July. 100+ meal servings were made and frozen for the Wairarapa Community Centre Trust initiative “Emergency & Crisis” meal provision.

Local MP Alastair Scott called in during the session and tried his hand at slicing the onions for the Devilled Sausages. A great community service project for the club to participate in. Greytown Lions Club members have been busy delivering garden products and kindling, cleaning the leaves from the gutters at Cobblestones museum and various helping hands jobs. Members collect and recycle aluminium cans and wine bottle tops with proceeds benefitting “Kidney Kids”.

Greytown Lioness Club has been busy planning fundraising activities for the year along with a variety of speakers and social events. Members have provided homemade soup for the South Wairarapa District Nurses to distribute to their clients. Twelve members will be travelling to the National Lioness Forum at Mount Maunganui in September. At the change of officers evening, Featherston Lioness Club members thanked Sandra Walters and her committee and welcomed the new President Shirley Jamieson and her committee. The “Lost Babies” project for the cemetery is progressing well, with the club’s newest members Barbara and Georgie leading the project. The club is looking forward to another exciting year with new ideas from the new committees. Martinborough Lions Club members have now completed the Water Meter Reading Project for the council. It was a challenging project with the rain interruptions. Guess the first time’s the hardest – right? The club now has 39 members after inducting Joe Howells recently. • For information about joining a Lions Club, go to www.lionsclubs.org.nz

Running effective meetings

Running an effective meeting – “That was close. We almost decided something”. PHOTO/SUPPLIED

A few weeks ago, I got an email from a good friend who was promoting a local workshop designed to give tips and tricks to run more eﬀective meetings. I am a regular attendee of meetings, but I decided to go along and refresh myself. Here’s a few tips and tricks in a nutshell to help those of you that sit on committees as volunteers.

Why have a meeting?

It’s simple – meetings are held to make decisions and decide how to carry out that decision by democratic vote.

How do you make them effective?

Volunteering Wairarapa

Jill Greathead • Prepare for the meeting and distribute the agenda a week ahead • Stick to this agenda, take minutes, assign responsibilities and establish completion dates for all actions • Ensure all members have their say and are fully informed when they make their vote • Have strategies for disruptive behaviour • End the meeting on time

• Have fun The workshop was ‘down to earth’ and I felt that if our community groups took note of these simple tips then we may attract more people to take committee positions. This means that we will have more people who understand the importance of community governance which in turn brings more control back into our communities

which strengthens our communities. Volunteering Wairarapa is here to connect you to use your skills in community organisations.

Opportunities at Volunteering Wairarapa “Support people with Parkinsons in Greytown” Support is needed at the Parkinson’s weekly singing group at the Working Mens Club in Greytown on Wednesday mornings. The group is run by a professional tutor but help would be appreciated with putting out chairs, turning pages in their song books, serving tea and coﬀee, and helping people transfer to

St John’s Shuttle. Skills required: Enjoy helping to make a diﬀerence to people who need help. “Featherston Information Centre Facilitators” required Facilitators are required to search for information related to the community. Sessions are three hours at least once a month Skills required: Use of a computer, open to learning new skills, and be friendly and reliable. • Interested in ﬁnding out more: Contact Jill Greathead on 0274 884 376 or email admin@ waivc.org.nz to discuss this opportunity.

Milk delivery coming back Beckie Wislon The sound of milk bottles rattling in the back of the milk truck could soon be heard again along the streets of Wairarapa towns. Eketahuna Country Meats is branching out from its meat cuts with plans to bring the milkman back to home-deliver pasteurised milk in glass bottles. Steve Olds, who runs the family business with his wife Pip, said the concept had always been in their business plan, but they had “fast tracked” it because now seemed like the right time. “We saw it as an opportunity for people who were wanting more produce direct from the farmer,” he said. But Olds said consumers were also wanting alternatives to buying plastic bottles. “I think the reality is people have realised we can’t keep doing what we are doing. “It’s made people think they want to change . . . Everyone was thinking about it.” The milk will come from a friend’s dairy farm nearby, about 10km down the road. The couple have already purchased a pasteuriser

from Christchurch with the hopes to be fully licenced by the start of October. Milk will be sold in their Bentley St store in Masterton, with home deliveries to follow. Olds said “we aren’t going to do everywhere in one day” but would start the deliveries in Wairarapa and then expand to greater Wellington. The glass bottles will be collected and re-used like

the good old days, but with the modern convenience of pre-paying online. Milk delivered to the door will cost $3.50 a litre. They will sell the glass bottles for $3.75 each, with 50 cents to be donated to Motor Neurone Disease Research. On weekends, Olds sells their meat at the Riverbank Market

in Lower Hutt and the Harbourside market in Wellington, where he said “I get a pretty good feel for what people are after”. He had noticed their customers were wanting more homegrown produce. Olds said the addition of

milk to their company would be simple, with chillers already set up for the meat at the markets. Steve and Pip Olds of Eketahuna Country Meats. The company is bringing back home delivery of milk in glass bottles. PHOTO/SUPPLIED

Whaitua â&#x20AC;&#x201C; catchment talks family-focused On August 16, the Ruamahanga Whaitua Committee will officially present Greater Wellington Regional Council councillors with the Whaitua Implementation Plan. It represents more than four years of hard work for a community committee that I am proud to be a part of. I want to recognise Nigel Corry for the brave step of appointing members to a committee who came from the four winds of the catchment and were all entrenched in their communities. The sole Greater Wellington Regional Council (GWRC) person was Chris Laidlaw. The stake committee members hold in the Whaitua or zone was an important motivation. The committee who arrived at how water should be managed for the Ruamahanga Catchment live here with their families, their businesses, and have listened to our community. I want to acknowledge the late Siobhan Garlick for her work on the committee. She was invested in the Wairarapa through a lifetime of work with her iwi, Rangitaane

Comment

Ra Smith and her work in public organisations. Residing in a neighbourhood is always about responsibility for Siobhan and this perspective is shared by all on the Whaitua Committee. Proof of this commitment can be seen in the stability of members for over four years, with ill health being responsible for the only resignation. One way the plan seeks to accomplish implementation is through enabling Wairarapa communities to come to their own solutions. There are focuses on innovation, good management practice and other community-led initiatives. This has come from the strong position our communities find themselves in now. The most beautiful city, Masterton; the most beautiful small town, Greytown; the funding for community-led initiatives in Carterton and Featherston; Wairarapa

Maori launching from the past at a whare wananga or tertiary research level to modern solutions are examples of communities connecting. Wairarapa communities are not afraid of thinking differently. The last group to acknowledge is the Project Team. The legacy of this group, mainly GWRC officers, is that it enabled the Whaitua committee to arrive at solutions, even when these solutions are not catered for by the current GWRC methodology. While this is a courageous position for the project team, going further and concluding a structural change is needed for GWRC took leadership. Alastair Smaill led a team that acted like a whanau, intensely loyal to each other and operating in their space, a space few in GWRC knew. Whakawhanaungatanga, or acting like a family, is how the Whaitua has operated successfully.

Dalefield men fall short HOCKEY

Sport

Jake Beleski The Farriers Dalefield men’s team fell just short of winning back the Wellington Hockey premier 1 title as they went down 2-0 to an inspired Hutt United side in Saturday’s grand final in Wellington. There could be no arguing with the result as Hutt were clearly the better team on the day and managed to get one over Dalefield for the first time this season. Dalefield player-coach Dane Lett had highlighted the importance of a quick start for his team, but they struggled in that regard once again as Hutt came out firing. Hutt went on the attack from the outset and opened the scoring in the eighth minute when a messy scramble in the circle wasn’t dealt with effectively by Dalefield, and Scott Barnett pounced to put Hutt ahead. Dalefield would have been happy to go into halftime down by a single goal, especially after withstanding wave after wave of attack from Hutt. But Dalefield’s performance was best summed up by what happened just before halftime, when Nick

Dane Lett attacking for Dalefield.

Finlayson went close for Dalefield, and 10 seconds later Hutt caught the Dalefield defence off-guard with a rapid counterattack which ended with Barnett scoring his second goal. Lett said they were “filthy” with their first half performance. “We really took quite a while to get into the game and start firing, and that’s a little bit frustrating because we addressed that a lot before the game. “It happened a couple of weeks ago when we played them last time, we let in an

early goal and they got a bit of a run on as well.” Dalefield’s performance lifted a couple of notches

in the second half, but Hutt always looked in control of the match. Dalefield took off

goalkeeper John Forsyth with six minutes left in the match to give themselves more attacking options, but it came to nothing as Hutt held on to retain the title they won last year. The result means Dalefield have played in the last four premier 1 men’s finals, winning the first two [2015 and 2016] and finishing runners-up the last two years. Lett said they were proud of what they had achieved as a team this season, especially after introducing a host of young players into the environment. “We had a big turnover of quality players which left a few gaps in our spine. “We blooded a lot of new guys and brought some new kids through so it was a disappointing result but we’re really proud of our season as a whole.” Striker Rowan Yeo won the Golden Stick Award as top goal-scorer in the competition. Meanwhile, the Dalefield premier women’s team finished fourth after losing a thrilling match to Victoria University on Saturday. The match was tied at 1-1 at the end of regular time and the end of extra time, but Victoria University won the penalty shootout.

couple of occasions. It was 33-0 before Wairarapa-Bush finally got on the board, and they had the final say in the match when they scored their second try. Harwood said Knell had been a standout performer for his work in putting pressure on Wanganui’s ball, and was happy with the way some of the younger players had taken their opportunity. “We had five key guys out [on Saturday] as well and some young guys really stood up. “We were well-led by Glen Walters at 10 in the first half and Tristan [Flutey] and Soli [Malatai]

really stood up on the wings as well.” Wairarapa-Bush will have one more opportunity to put things in place for the Heartland Championship when they take on a Manawatu Development team this weekend in Dannevirke. That match should be closer on the scoreboard, especially considering Horowhenua-Kapiti beat the Manawatu Development team 40-29 on Saturday. Earlier this season, Wairarapa-Bush were beaten 32-6 by Horowhenua-Kapiti in Wellington. Last year Wairarapa-

Bush hosted Manawatu Development at Memorial Park and were beaten 33-17. Harwood said they would be putting in the hard yards this week to produce a performance they could be proud of. “We got plenty of positives out of it, and we know exactly where we need to improve. “We had good structure in the ﬁrst half once again, but we know there’s still a lot to work on.” Wairarapa-Bush will open their Heartland Championship campaign against Poverty Bay on August 25 in Gisborne, and their ﬁrst home match will

be on September 1 against Thames Valley. In Saturday’s curtain raiser, the Wairarapa-Bush Development team was put to the sword by the Auckland Colts, eventually losing 132-7. The match was as good as over after the Auckland side piled on 50 points in the ﬁrst 25 minutes, and by halftime they had scored an incredible 80 points. The Wairarapa-Bush side continued to ﬁght throughout the second half, but the mismatch in talent was clear as Auckland showed no mercy and put on another 50 points.

Sport

Wanganui showed why they are perennial Heartland Championship favourites with a dominant 61-14 win over WairarapaBush in Masterton on Saturday. The scoreline may not have reflected it, but this performance by Wairarapa-Bush showed plenty of improvement in some areas from Tuesday night’s loss to the New Zealand Army. There was greater urgency and commitment on defence for large portions of the match, but coach Joe Harwood said tackle technique would be a key work-on this week. “There’s too many guys going high and we just can’t afford to on these bigger bodies. “We can work with them, but they need to take some responsibility for it as well.” Flanker and captain James Goodger led from the front in a typically committed display, while the other loose forwards – Ryan Knell and Sam Shaw – were equally impressive. The fact that WairarapaBush were only 17-0 down at halftime was a testament to their effort, after Wanganui had threatened to blow the game wide open on a
