Film to pack a punch at festival

Punch, a gritty, comingof-age drama set in provincial New Zealand, opens in Masterton this week — one of 24 to be screened at Regent 3 Cinemas as part of this year’s festival. This weekend, the cinema, in partnership with Film Talks, will be hosting a special screening of Punch, featuring a Q&A session with director and screenwriter Welby Ings — who will be travelling from Auckland for the occasion. Ings’ film, his first feature-length project, stars BAFTA-winning actor and Academy Award nominee Tim Roth — best known for his scene-stealing roles in Rob Roy, Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, and TV crime drama Tin Star Appearing alongside Roth are emerging New Zealand performers Jordan Oosterhof and Conan Hayes: who play a young couple struggling with self-discovery, fractured parental relationships, and small-town prejudice. Film Talks director Jane Ross said Punch’s top-billed casting certainly “piqued [her] interest” — but she was particularly drawn to its “beautifullyscripted” story and hardhitting social commentary. She anticipated the film would be deeply resonant for local audiences. “It’s a powerful story — and one that could be set in any small New Zealand town,” Ross said. “It explores issues like masculinity, identity, addiction, and mental health — and how that plays out in a rural environment. I think a lot of people will be able to relate. “It’s an important story — and it’s a privilege to bring it to the Wairarapa community.” Ings, a professor of art and design at Auckland University of Technology, is an author, illustrator, LGBTQ+ activist, and renowned director of short films. Three of his projects, Boy, Munted, and Sparrow, have been selected for international film festivals, including Cannes. Punch, a project over a decade in the making, is the story of Jim [Oosterhof], a teen boxing prodigy, coached by his alcoholic father [Roth]. Jim’s sporting ambitions are sidelined when he begins wrestling with his sexuality — developing feelings for Whetu [Hayes], a takatapui [queer] musician and schoolmate. Roth travelled to New Zealand in 2020 — in between lockdowns — to take part in the film — which was shot mostly on Auckland’s west coast. “As an up-and-coming New Zealand filmmaker, you’d have to write a pretty special script to attract someone of his calibre — which Welby has clearly done,” Ross said. “It was awesome to see Roth act alongside two young Kiwi actors.” Ross said she was hopeful the screening would attract aspiring Wairarapa filmmakers — as Ings will doubtlessly have wisdom to share about his directing and screenwriting processes.

• Punch opens at Regent 3 on August 18 and runs until August 31. The Q&A screening featuring director Welby Ings will be held on Saturday, August 20, starting at 5.15pm. The film is R16, and includes violence, sex scenes, drug use and offensive language.

Services overwhelmed by club’s generosity

The Wairarapa programme for the 2022 New Zealand International Film Festival will include a visit from an up-and-coming Kiwi director — whose latest film features a Hollywood legend in the starring role.

Continued from page 1 attends to medical call-outs.“Youmight be all the way out at Riversdale and have a stroke or a diabetic emergency — and we’ll be able to get you to Wellington Hospital quicker than the ambulance going over the hill.” He and Jonathan Rees, representing Wellington Free Ambulance, were both hugely thankful for the Horseshoe Club’s support. “Donations like this from the community say to us, ‘hey, we see you, your work is valuable and important, and we appreciate it,’” Rees said. “Paramedicine is a wonderful job — where you see you’re making a tangible relieve“You’redifference.theretohelppainandsuffering, to provide reassurance in stressful situations and, in a lot of cases, give people a second chance at life. “We get to help people at the different bookends of their lives: the beginning, the middle, and the end. And it’s an honour to do that.”Rees said Wellington Free’s model of care has “changed a lot” since covid. “We’re not just putting people in the back of the ambulance and taking them down to hospital. “With all the pressure on primary care services, it’s not uncommon for people to call us as a last resort — and we’ll often end up treating them in their home.“Asour workload increases, and with the cost of everything going up, community support is even more essential for us.” The Horseshoe Club, which has close to 150 active members and meets twice weekly, formed in 2015 following the closure of the Cosmopolitan Club. Jim Laird, club member and inaugural president, said the group had been “blessed with very good finances”, thanks to its member subscriptions and regular raffles. “I think our financial situation has been the envy of other social clubs around the country — so it made sense for us to give back to the community,” he said.

A generous Wairarapa community has, once again, rallied around the region’s hospital staﬀ: this time, inspired by a bighearted college pupil. Bridie Croucher, Year 7 at Chanel College, lead a fundraising project to purchase a new fridge for Wairarapa Hospital’s paediatric ward — which, in the space of two weeks, raised over Supported$1000.bywhanau, Bridie organised a raﬄe, made up of prizes donated by various ticketsbusinesses,WairarapaandsoldviaFacebook.

I didn’t expect we’d sell that many tickets. “It shows that we have a lot of kind people in Wairarapa.”Thewinning tickets were drawn at the hospital at the end of June, and the new fridge was delivered to the ward [free of charge] earlier this month. As well as significantly more space, the fridge also has an ice making function — which staff expect to make frequent use of. “If the patients wanted a drink with ice, we’d have to go to another ward to get it,” Lisa said. “This will be a huge help.”Charge nurse manager Tess Geard said she was “so grateful” to Bridie and Lisa for giving their time, resources and energy to support the staff and patients.“Andit’s encouraging and comforting to know our community cares for our health workers and acknowledges the work we“We’redo. lucky to have Bridie — she’s a little superstar.”

Thanks to her efforts, and a discount from Noel Leeming Masterton, the ward was able to purchase a new, 346 litre refrigerator and freezer — with ample space for staff and families to use. Mum Lisa Croucher, a healthcare assistant at the paediatric ward, said staff had been using a fridge that was half the size, and the lack of storage had been an added stressor for her team. She said the ward staff were thrilled with the new addition and blown away by the public’s support — particularly by Bridie’s care and compassion for her howaround“Ourcommunity.familytossedafewideasaboutwecouldfundraisefor a new fridge. And Bridie said, ‘it’s okay, Mum, I’ll do all the fundraising!’” Lisa“Shesaidcompletely took it on herself — it was amazing.“It’sinspirational to see a young person show concern for others and focus on what she can do for the community — and not on what she can get for herself.”ForBridie, who has had “lots of friends” stay at the ward, the project was a no-brainer.“Iknowhow special the staff are at the hospital — and how much they need our support,” she said. While orgainising the raffle, Bridie reached out to businesses via social media — with Countdown Masterton, Trust House, The Sanctuary, firewood supplier Stewart Watt and artist Katie Gracie all contributing prizes. Bridie also added a set of coasters she’d bought with her own pocket money. She set up a Facebook page to sell tickets — and received “so many encouraging comments” from customers, many of whom had children who’d been cared for at the ward. “We’re a community,smallsowe all have a connection to the hospital in some way,” Lisa said.“People were lovely — it was really touching to see.”

The Woodworkers’Wairarapa Guild has paid tribute to one of its favourite sons — with retiring president Dr Nick Crozier awarded a life membership.WhileDrCrozier is best known for his decades of work in the Masterton medical field, particularly with older people, he is also a highly skilled woodworker — having been instrumental in the guild’s move to its current premises in the old trout hatchery.ThePownall St building, owned by Masterton Trust Lands Trust, was derelict and hadn’t been used for a number of years when the guild took it over in 2020. Dr Crozier oversaw its restoration, including painting, installing vandalresistant windows,polycarbonateandaddingan air-filtering system. Born in Ireland, Dr Crozier studied medicine in Zimbabwe and practised as a GP there for 10 years. However, when the country entered a period of unrest following its independence in 1980, Dr Crozier decided it was time to secure a more settled upbringing for his family. He and his family emigrated to New Zealand, and he first began work in Wairarapa as an anaesthetist at the former Masterton Hospital in 1998.DrCrozier retired from general practice at Masterton Medical in 2018, after 30 years of providing medical care for the

For Stefan Brown, there are few things more rewarding than helping people realise they can, in fact, carry a tune — and carry it well. The veteran Wairarapa muso is the founder of the Troubadour Music Group — a community choir for singers of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities. With guidance from Brown as “choirmaster”, the choir performs an array of “fun and enjoyable” music from across the decades: from African American spiritual numbers to the classics from Fleetwood Mac and Creedence Clearwater Revival.Thegroup, which rehearses weekly at the Wairarapa Community Centre, is “a continuation” of the King Street Choir, set up in 2019 by community art studio King Street Artworks, with Brown as accompanist.Duetocovid restrictions, the King Street Choir has been on a hiatus since last year.Having witnessed the joy and renewed confidence communal singing brought to the group members, Brown decided to set up a choir of his own — receiving a Creative Communities grant from Masterton District Council to cover venue hire and sheet music costs. With enough practice up its sleeve, Brown hopes the group will join him on the local performance circuit and record some of its own music.Hesaid requirementexperiencemusicalisnota—and some new members have been surprised by their hidden abilities.“I’vehad a few people come in and say they can’t sing — and I’ve said, ‘let me the judge of that’”, Brown said.“We’ve got some great singers amongst us, who didn’t know they had it in them.“For example, one of our members was very shy about singing in front of people. I finally got her to sing a couple of lines, and she had a really nice voice — which she’s kept hidden all these helping“We’reyears.allaboutpeopledevelop confidence in themselves, by singing together in a supportive, Garfunkel,liketimelesswaythemusicianchoirenvironment.”user-friendlyBrown,whodirectsthealongsidefellowKeithAusten,saidgroupisworkingtheirthroughasongbookoftunes,fromartistsTheBeatles,SimonandBobDylan,Joni Mitchell, and Cat Stevens.

Wai Word, a community event showcasing New Zealand writers — from Wairarapa and beyond — celebrates its 10th birthday this month. The event was founded by Wairarapa poets Madeleine Slavick and Simon Fleck, who met at an event for National Poetry Day in 2012 — and decided to set up a space where local writers can connect and share their work in a supportive environment.

Reader Cassandra sent in this beautiful shot of the sunset skies in Masterton — taken from her front room window.

• For more information, go to the Wairarapa Word Facebook page, or email gmail.com.events.waiword@

Wai Word started with relaxed open-mic sessions in various pubs, and later moved to Sunday afternoons, “when more people have flexible time”, Slavick said. For the first year, the monthly gatherings were held at Almo’s Books in Carterton — but eventually moved to Carterton Events Centre to accommodate the growing audience. Each Wai Word event features a seminar and readings from a published writer, with a wide variety of Wairarapa wordsmiths, as well as the nationally renowned talents, showcasing their work over theTheseyears.include cartoonist Di Batchelor, romance writer Pia Buck, children’s author Ali Foster, novelist Jared Gulian, environmental advocate Ra Smith, and archivist Gareth Winter.Slavick said putting together the community sessions has been “a lot of fun”. “We try to present a range of genres, speakers, and formats,” she said. “We’ve offered public talks, workshops, festivals, competitions, and more.”

Poet laureate Bill Manhire, young adult writer Kate De Goldi, novelists Lloyd Jones and Dame Fiona Kidman, and financial guru Mary Holm are just a handful of the Kiwi literary heroes hosted by Wai Word in the last decade.

The competition, inspired by an exhibition at Wellington’s Dowse Art Museum, was organised by Wairarapa locals Charlotte Harding and Nicole Halliday as a fundraiser for the region’s four food banks. The event raised $1000, with $250 donated to each food bank — Masterton, Carterton, Featherston, Martinborough. The competition attracted close to 60 entries and presented 10 awards — with prizes donated by local businesses, such as Schoc Chocolates, Clareville Nursery, Brackenridge country retreat, Thunderpants, and Toast Martinborough.

A pretty poor business decision, given all the free marketing generated from Instagram “food porn”. Why create edible art if there’s no one around to demolish it? Other cases are just funny. In 2015, rapper Dr Dre sued gynaecologist Dr Draion Burch for using the name “Dr Drai’’ for his business. The musician argued the public would be confused and ultimately misled by their similar names. A judge had to explain to Dr. Dre that it was unlikely anyone would assume he’d “quit the rap life and gone into gynaecology”. He’d probably make a similar salary, mind. I must admit — researching copyright fails has been a nice palette cleanser after all the political doom scrolling. There are some good lessons we can take away, however.Youcan’t make money from fan-created content, be careful when differentiating your Top 40 hits from your cheap knock-offs, and if you must evangelise via the magic of theatre, write your own musical. Lest you be sued — or roasted online by Hamilton fans. Equally grim fates, I assure you.

In case anyone needs a reminder: It’s not the best idea to create a musical based on the intellectual property of a multi-billiondollar corporation’sChancescorporation.arethatlawyering up. I refer to the lawsuit Netflix brought against Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear — writers of the Unofficial Bridgerton Musical. As a devotee of both Bridgerton and musical theatre, my curiosity was piqued. I had a listen on YouTube — and it’s a solid effort. Solid enough to earn the composers the Grammy for Best Musical Theatre Album — beating out Andrew Lloyd Webber, no less. Netflix was happy to stand back and let Barlow and Bear release their songs on Tik Tok, when they weren’t generating income. Once they staged a sell-out concert, complete with merchandise, the gloves were off. Netflix claims it offered Barlow and Bear a licence [with conditions] to adapt Bridgerton, which they rejected. The creators claim Netflix gave them permission to use the trademark, which the streaming juggernaut disputes.Let’sbe honest — the only winners are the lawyers. Netflix did just lose over a million subscribers, so those legal bills are going to bite. Turns out, Netflix isn’t the only one fuming over theatre-related thievery. Earlier this month, the Door McAllen Church in Texas live-streamed a slicklooking — if a bit pitchy — rendition of the musical Hamilton. Not only did the church neglect to buy the rights, but they changed the lyrics to portray an atheistic Alexander Hamilton converting to Christianity. And the pastor followed it up with a homophobic sermon. Hilarious when you consider a. the real Founding Father was a regular scholarsevangelism],[negatingchurchgoertheneedforandb.somebelievehewas bisexual. Either way, Broadway’s lawyers are threatening a plague of locusts. On the topic of music — our own National Party got on the wrong side of Eminem’s legal team, when a song sounding suspiciously similar to his Oscar-winning Lose Yourself appeared in a campaign ad. The party did, in fact, pay for a “soundalike” version of the song. But a judge ruled the differences between the tracks were “minimal” and that the Nats had breached copyright.Thedefense argued Lose Yourself “wasn’t a very original work to begin with”. Justice Helen Cull retaliated by pointing out the song’s “highly distinctive” melody and instrumentation, and ordering National to hand over $600,000. Some cases are less reasonable. As of 2013, German law states any “artistically produced” food created in a restaurant is the intellectual property of the chef. If a diner shares photographs of said food on social media without permission, they can expect a hefty fine.

On May 20, 2018. a group from a mineral club found a plank of wood protruding from a peat deposit along the high tide mark at Waipupu, near Riversdale. Recognising that it was a human-made object and could be of significance, they reported it to archaeologists Foss Leach and Janet Davidson. When Haami Te Whaiti [Ngati Kahungunu ki Wairarapa] first saw photos of it, it was not clear to him what it might be but it was definitely something he felt merited a closer look. With danger of further sea damage, there was urgency in removing it so on June 1, he, Horipo Rimene [Rangitane o Wairarapa], Janet Davidson and Tony Tomlin from the mineral club, set out to retrieve it. “It was relatively easy to get out,” says Te Whaiti. “I wasn’t sure of its significance until we laid it on the ground, and I saw the toki [adze] marks on it - stone adzes make clear markings - and realised it was something special. It had a structure on it that was deliberate, but I didn’t appreciate what its structure was.” Dilys Johns, Senior Research Fellow at the University of Auckland, Waipapa Tamata Ra, and an expert on the preservation of wooden taonga, was immediately consulted and identified the 5.5 metre 400mm wide plank as part of a waka strake, a plank that runs along the side of a dugout underbody. A further piece of it was subsequently found at the same site. Four ribs supported the curved shape of the plank and a central stringer provided longitudinal stiffness. Because of the risk of wood cell collapse, the strakes were immersed in water before being submerged in polyethylene glycol to conserve the degraded wood cell structure. They are now drying out in an environmentally controlled case, under supervision,Johns’which should take approximately 12 months.Johns said the Waipupu find is significant. Without conservation expertise this important taoga would not exist. The strakes are not dissimilar in construction to the Anaweka River estuary waka which has a raised turtle motif and has been dated to approximately 700 years old.The Waipupu strakes are an important part of the waka construction timeline which began with the arrival of the first humans in “OurAotearoa.in-depth research will follow together with hapu and iwi in an ongoing process,” said Johns. “Dilys Johns has supervised,” said Te Whaiti, “but it has always remained here, locally. Iwi made the decision to have it on display at Aratoi which makes a lot of sense to us as everyone can see it, interact with it, and understand the process of conserving it. “Where it was found there used to be a papakāinga [village]. Preserving taonga made of wood, in this case totara, by burying them in a swamp was a common practice among Maori. We are bringing it back into a form where we can have it amongst us and appreciate it. We are still some months, however, from organising a permanent home for it.”

Have you ever had difficulty finding a loved one’s resting place at a cemetery? We have installed a new service on our website that will direct you straight there.

Click on the Plotbox link on our cemetery page at www.swdc.govt. nz to easily search for the location of a loved one and be guided to it on the map provided. Plotbox has also allowed the Council to upgrade its cemetery management systems and digitise the original plot records, many of which are quite historic. South Wairarapa District Council operates four cemeteries - Featherston, Greytown, Martinborough and the closed Waihinga cemetery. Council staff spent many months painstakingly going through often decadesold records to check the names, details and other information associated with the plots and loading them into the Plotbox

It would be fair to say the weather gods have not been kind to our district this winter. I want to commend our roading staff and contractors, who have already been under pressure because of winter illnesses and have battled on regardless. When a big event such as this happens, information filters into our offices from all quarters. Our staff hit the roads to assess the damage, then direct contractors to wherever they are most needed, and our frontline team hit social media and the website. We feed back information as soon as we can. We are often asked about Martinborough’s Waihenga Bridge, which is controlled by Waka Kotahi (NZTA). If the bridge is closed, its status will be on the Waka Kotahi Questionswebsite.have been raised recently about our decision to build a new dog pound. Councillors recently voted for extra funding for the project and many people have asked why the pound costs what it does or why we cannot go in with another council.

Better Off Funding

AUGUST UPDATE

NOTICE OF MEETINGS

enquiries@swdc.govt.nz 0R

Meanwhile, our dogs urgently need a pound that meets government animal welfare requirements. We have land at Featherston Golf Course we can use and with inflation sending the cost of materials into overdrive, we are worried that these costs will rise even further if we continue to delay. We will keep you informed on our progress. We want to commend the Martinborough Pump Track Project, a community-led project which is now fundraising to build a visionary facility in Considine Park. Council will work with the project as it proceeds. By the time you read this, it’s likely election campaigning for the local body elections will have begun in earnest. Postal voting papers will go out in mid-September and close at noon on 8 October. South Wairarapa has a very active ratepayer base and I hope everyone will take time to vote. It matters! Keep warm and well.

The Fund will be available to support community projects and to accelerate projects with a strong wellbeing dimension that are already approved in the South Wairarapa Long Term Plan. In agreeing to apply for the $1.88m of funding, the Council recognised that the South Wairarapa community is under significant pressure at the moment. We are aware our community is feeling the detrimental effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Some people are feeling isolated and disconnected and the pandemic has created fear and anxiety, particularly among some of the elderly and vulnerable. It has also been a wet winter with many communities feeling the impact of flooding, closed roads, and weather damage. Economic conditions in our communities are also tough at the moment, with interest rates, food costs, rents, petrol, and building costs all on the Therise. Three Waters funding represents an opportunity to get behind projects that reconnect people and strengthen the health of our communities. The Council still requires approval from the Department of Internal Affairs for its application and if successful, we will be working closely with mana whenua, community groups and Councillors to ensure the funding is equitably and constructively used. Accepting the funding does not inhibit the Council from expressing its independent view on the merits of the proposed Three Waters reforms. A further tranche of Three Waters Better Off funding may be available to Councils in July 2024.

St Matthew’s Collegiate 1ST XI Hockey Team 2022 2022 has been a good year for Secondary School hockey. The St Matthew’s 1ST XI Hockey Team started their 2022 season competing in the very well organised Wairarapa College Sports Foundation mini Thetournament.2022StMatthew’s team is led by three year 13 girls, Grace Tanner and Charlize Baron (co-captains), and Jiya Patel with leadership support from two year 12s Emma McLeod and Isabella Kennedy. Six players are new to 1ST XI hockey, Greta Matthews (year 12), Penny Borthwick, Ella Kirkup, Olive Percy, Vanessa Taylor, (year 11), and Madeleine Kennedy (year 10). These players are to be commended for the way they have seamlessly joined the team and for the positivity they have brought to their training. Combining the keen new members with the experienced returning players, forming a team of 16 where all team members have plenty of game time has been key, and has seen the team go to the top of the Inter-city Secondary School competition run by Manawatu WithHockey.semi-ÿ nals and ÿ nals coming up, the team is looking to ÿ nish the competition strongly in preparation for the National Secondary Schools tournament, the Federation Cup/Marie Fry Trophy which is to be held in Napier from the 29TH August to 3RD September.

Carterton

The team highlights to date for the year are retaining the Dunce Cup, the annual ÿ xture with Wairarapa College, (always a very close and hard game that the girls look forward to), and winning the Quad tournament in Marton, an annual tournament with Iona College, Woodford House and Nga Tawa. In the Quad St. Matthews came away with two wins and a draw from three games, 2-2 v Iona, 10-0 v Nga Tawa and 9-0 v Woodford House. The team is currently training hard for the big games ahead, particularly the National Secondary Schools Federation Cup/Marie Fry tournament, a 32 team tournament in which teams from all over New Zealand come together to compete for national honours. Traditionally a very tough tournament in which the ÿ rst two days of pool play will determine which teams will move through to compete in the top 16 (for Federation Cup), and which teams will compete in the Marie Fry division, (17TH to 32ND).

holidayRiversdalecameWhenJumbofora

The authorities were quick to come to Jumbo’s defence, and anyone caught annoying the seal could be ﬁned, because he was a protected animal. Jumbo became a star and made all the papers in New Zealand and abroad, but not always for the right reasons.Aludicrous piece appeared in a Sydney paper in which Jumbo, a fairly placid elephant seal, was now “Tusks”, a mutated bull sea elephant who had apparently “already killed four dogs in a wild rampage through the main street”. People soon learned to leave Jumbo alone, and he stayed until December when he ﬁnally slid into the sea for the last time. Or did he? Two years later a familiar creature hauled itself out of the water at Riversdale Beach. Jumbo, having enjoyed his last stay, was back. But his second holiday did not start out as the quiet and to badger him. All he wanted was to be left in peace, but this was not to It’sbe. not every day that a creature such as himself makes a temporary home so close to a settlement and everyone wanted to see him and take his photo. Many residents resented his second visit as he showed no regard for where he chose to rest. Right outside a caravan was the same to him as a sandHisdune.kind had been camping out on the New

5. As interest grows – establish a website, so people can easily order their vegetable boxes.

MARK PACEY of the Wairarapa Archive recalls the visits of Jumbo the elephant seal. In September 1976, a large creature hauled itself out of the sea at Riversdale Beach on the Wairarapa coast. He was a 4.2m male elephant seal weighing between three and four tonnes. Quickly named Jumbo by the residents, he was a major attraction, but he soon outlived his welcome. Jumbo quite liked Riversdale and decided to stick around. The main road, residents’ front lawns and the camping ground were all nice spots, Jumbo thought, to have a rest. A motorist in his nice red Jaguar had to make a hasty retreat when Jumbo objected to this noisy metal creature and lumbered towards him at frightening speed. Two weeks after his arrival, Jumbo was still at Riversdale. A team from a marine mammal park drove from Orewa in Auckland to capture him and take him back to their park.They had thought they could simply throw a net around him and lift him on to the back of their truck. Permission to snare him was refused, which came as a bit of a relief for the Marineland team as they had not realised just how big he was. It would have taken more than a net to trap him, and it would have been a traumatic experience for Jumbo being driven back to Auckland on the back of a truck and luckily it never eventuated.Thepoor elephant seal was not without his worries. Children thought it a fun game to whack Jumbo with sticks and then run away. The adults weren’t much better, kicking and annoying Jumbo for fun and to get better pictures and many of the photos show Jumbo in an agitated pose, growling at photographers who ventured too close.

6. If demand from customers exceeds vegetables grown, talk to other organic growers who could contribute.

Who knew vitamins had such funky origins? Biochemist Dr Casimir Funk coined the term in 1912 when he discovered an organic substance similar to an amino acid (anime). He considered it vital to life and combining the two words, came up with vitamine (vital amine). This was later shortened to vitamin when another scientist realised the substance didn’t require amines.

3. Plant a variety of vegetables using organic, no dig methods.

This has been a successful recipe, Alex Morrissey took on board, following many “garden gossip” sessions with friend Victoria Sala, where, while hands were in the soil, they shared ideas of how to turn their enthusiastic vegetable growing into a business. They started growing vegetables in a plot of land in Akura Road, near Masterton and were surprised, and pleased, when they had no trouble selling the produce they grew. This organic vegetable popularity gave Alex the opportunity to move away from commercial law in Masterton to life on the farm. Degrees in law and international relations had her heading down the urban path until she met husband-to-be, Kheinan and they began hankering for a more rural lifestyle. Wairarapa beckoned and when Kheinan got work on a dairy farm, Alex saw the region was their destiny. They now have a two-year-old son, Dezzie. “We really didn’t appreciate how much demand there is for organic food, and it got us thinking how to expand from Akura Road.” They live at Pirinoa and with land aplenty there, that’s where Alex does her growing these days. Victoria has moved into her own enterprise and Alex is now assisted by Noēmi Roche who can be found packing the Little Farm vegetable boxes in a produce chiller they lease off organic grower, Jeremy Howden. Jeremy has been producing organic vegetables on his farm southeast of Masterton for decades. “He’s our guru and mentor and is always willing to share information and give advice,” says Alex. Jeremy supplies vegetables to Little Farms as does another nearby organic grower at Te Ore Ore, Jos Paans. There are also other small growers supplying their produce –hence the name to acknowledge and celebrate these smaller farms. “It’s a celebration of local organic produce in a collaborativebeautifulrelationship.”

4. When vegetables have matured, sell them to keen people wanting to eat organic food.

The reason vitamins are named A, B, C, D, and so on, is because they are named after letters of the alphabet in the order of their discovery. These micronutrients are needed by our bodies in order to maintain good health. They’re essential for certain processes to occur and assist with bodily functions, like our metabolism. Humans cannot manufacture vitamins. We must ingest them from environment.our

The A-Z of Vitamins But love ‘em? Hate ‘em? Forget to take ‘em? Brought a stash of them but never ate them? You wouldn’t be alone. How many of us buy vitamins with great intentions and they sit unopened or partially used in ‘the drawer’ along with all the miscellaneous instruction manuals, takeaway menus or mismatched odds and ends? Eventually only to expire. Sound familiar? A bit like the gym membership that’s still sucking a fortnightly payment. Seemed a good idea at the time, used it for the ÿ rst couple of weeks, and then it was left to Still,languish.vitamins remain incredibly popular. Around 50% of New Zealanders have taken them in the past year and 30% of us claim to be habitual users. But are they really doing anything for us? Although there is a variance of opinion around the beneÿ ts of vitamins, most research suggests they’re of little use to the majority of us. Studies claim any beneÿ ts are negligible or only realised in people who have a clear deÿ ciency. The exception to this might be the placebo e° ect. This is where taking something that has no proven pharmaceutical value improves our physical or mental wellbeing, if we’re told it should. For some of us, taking some vitamins could be better than taking nothing. For the remainder of us, eating a well-balanced diet from groups across the food pyramid, along with following the ‘ÿ ve-a-day’ fruit and vegetable principle, should be enough for providing the appropriate vitamin levels necessary for maintaining good health.

look forward to, even when times may seem a little tougher. Self-respect I have a set of cards on my desk that are a product of The School of Life. There are 52 cards in the pack, with each card having a message that’s written to encourage and develop self-confidence. I enjoy reading a card a day; I never know what the messages will be and I enjoy the variety. The message today on the card was about the way in which we treat ourselves. Essentially, the card stated that if another person treated us the way we sometimes treat ourselves, we’d think of them as despicably cruel. If this is the case, then we really do need to take a good look at ourselves and appreciate our many positive qualities, the small wins we have, and just generally recognise that there are many things about ourselves that are actually quite impressive. Keep sharing ideas Today at a meeting I couldn’t find my Apple Pencil. I was hoping it had been left at home, but as I was packing my bag the person behind me asked if the Apple Pencil he had found on the floor was mine — it was [thanks Matt].Hethen asked about my iPad keyboard, and as I passed it over to him to have a look I shared about PressReader, the app I had been looking at. This [PressReader] is something I have known about for some time, and I assumed most others do as well, but it turns out Matt and Tia [who was sitting next to him] had never heard of it. Both downloaded it shortly afterwards and, I am sure, have enjoyed reading the free magazine and awesomecontentnewspapersince.Therearesomanyanduseful things we use regularly, and because we are so used to them, we just assume others have access to themWhattoo.we should do is think back to when we were first told about whatever it is and how pleased we were to have access to it. This should encourage us to see that others were once in the same position of not knowing, and, because of this, we should be sharing the good stuff and ideas whenever we get the chance to. It’s already working Lewis Clareburt has just won two Commonwealth Games gold medals. He is the first New Zealander to win Commonwealth Gold for 12 years. Clareburt clearly is a class act, always so respectful when interacting with others, he’s a great role model. Watching the news after his win in the 200m butterfly event, I was interested to hear that where he trains the facilities aren’t hugely impressive, with one example being that he only has access to a 25-metre pool. The reporter suggested a considerable upgrading of facilities to ensure Lewis has the very best of resources to reach even higher levels of success. Hearing this made me think of Eliud Kipchoge, perhaps the greatest distance runner of all time. I watched a film about his successful bid to be the first runner to break two hours for the marathon. One thing that was very clear in the film was the very basic training facilities used by the Kenyan athletes, including a dirt track and communal living conditions that had only the most basic of essentials available to all who lived in them.

We often look back in history with a great deal of fondness yet will look at the current time with anger and frustration. My feeling is that those who lived back in the times we sometimes yearn for would almost certainly have had their own frustrations that they weren’t happy about. For example, living in the 1960s was a time in which there was a lot to celebrate [the music, people being prepared to protest, the growing civil rights movement], but there were many things that were quite awful [long wars that couldn’t be won, race relations].Conversely, there is a huge amount to celebrate today. Anyone with an Internet connection has access to a huge amount of information; improved healthcare, easy travel, … these being just a few examples.Mypoint is that it’s easy for all of us to get caught up in negativity, but if we do stop and reflect there really is a huge amount that we can today be extremely grateful for. This doesn’t mean that there aren’t situations that should be improved, but we should never forget that so many things are so much better than they ever have been before. Small steps The name of the book I wrote is Small Steps to a Happy and Purposeful Life. The title I chose is one that really does reflect my belief that we can make real progress by taking actions that seem to be inconsequential when looked at in isolation, but if we keep implementing these small consistentlyactionswereally will achieve big outcomes. I’ll use the example of learning a new language. To complete a lesson on Duolingo, the language learning app I have written about on many occasions, it will only take you three-four minutes. Just one lesson really won’t get you far on your language learning journey but repeating that same habit for 21 days in a row will have your knowledge of the basics growing, as well as the self-belief that you really can achieve your goals or dreams wherethosejustlisttoinstrument;learningaboutcanarea.newonmanyovercommitting,withoutassodowhentheysetoutapathtomasteraskill.LanguagesisjustoneThesamestrategybeappliedtojustanything:exercise;amusicallearninghowcode;stilllifeart;theisanendlessone,youneedtostarttakingsmallstepstogettoyouwanttobe.

On an episode of his podcast, Joe Rogan shared the reason why he does hard things. His belief is that doing things that are challenging enables him to do hard things in other situations; essentially, the concept is transferable. For example, going on that run in cold and wet conditions, when it may be the last thing you feel like doing, will build the ‘hard things’Perhapsmuscle.there’s a challenging issue at work that needs to be faced … if you know that you can push yourself in one context, then you can face a completely different challenge in another situation with confidence. Looking forward to something I have this journaling process that I have been using for many years. I may have written about it before, but, like many good ideas, I think it’s worth repeating. The journaling has me recording three things everyday: 1. A highlight of the day just past 2. Something I’m looking forward to tomorrow 3. Something I’m grateful for. In almost all cases the things recorded are quite basic and low key. Here’s today’s:1.Ahighlight from the day just gone was spending time at technicraft with the senior students from my school2.The thing I’m looking forward to for tomorrow is going to see Bullet Train at the3.moviesThething I’m grateful for is theremanygratefulreallysevenprogramme.toLakeviewSchoolMartinboroughhostingalltheSchoolteachersdemonstratealiteracyLookingatthepastdaysshowsme:Ihavesomuchtobefor;Ihavehadhighlights;andthatarealwaysthingsto

It will only take one poor grazing to adversely affect the next two to three grazings. Keeping on task with your grazing over spring will pay dividends later in the season when pasture quality will be higher and easier to maintain. The main advantage of accurately allocating pasture is you will optimise both pasture eaten per hectare and animal performance. This will require having targets for both pre and post grazing, monitoring and measuring regularly and planning the upcoming grazing events. An effective grazing plan will enable the correct decisions to be made around the order in which paddocks are grazed; the right pasture cover targets are chosen and pasture cover targets are achieved. Use grazing residuals as a key indicator of pasture utilisation. Poorer pasture utilisation will result in higher post-grazing residuals (i.e. pasture wastage). These higher post-grazing residuals will suppress pasture growth rates and will reduce pasture digestibility (quality) at the next grazing, consequently impacting on animal performance. Achieving target grazing residuals in the spring will reduce the number of reproductive tillers that would otherwise emerge later in the spring again helping maintain leaf production and pasture quality. By maintaining a consistent grazing residual you will have the opportunity to reset the residual level for subsequent grazings and ensure that leaf growth is promoted at the base of the pasture. Achieving all these objectives is harder whilst the weather and growing conditions seem to sometimes be constantly working against us. Sticking to the key principles outlined will ensure you get as close to the targeted levels as possible putting you in the best position to capitalise on the opportunities that will exist when we start to get more consistent conditions.

So just what is an executor and who do you choose? What is an executor? An executor is a personal representative responsible for tidying up your affairs and seeing that your wishes set out in your Will are carried out. Anyone of sound mind who is 20 years or older can be appointed as your executor but ideally, it will be someone you trust. Commonly we see children or other close relatives named as executors, but you can also appoint trusted friends, colleagues, or professionals such as lawyers. It is helpful to have two executors with the appointment of an alternative executor if one executor dies before the other. Other things to consider when choosing your executor are:

About 44 per cent of respondents reported it has been harder to recruit skilled and motivated staff over the past six months, down 4.3 points from the January “appallingStaplessurvey.saidanwinter” would have kicked farmer morale too.“July has been dreadfully wet which never helps anyone’s outlook at environmentalall.”Immediate impacts weren’t the end of farmer’s worries, Staples said the largest concern she heard was about carbon and environmental challenges. She said now was a time of uncertainty with large quantities of government legislation affecting farmers.“They’re worried about how they can farm, if they have a right to farm, if they need hugehealthmustproblembecominglikeStaplesconsents.”saidlegislationTeManaOTeWaiwasaconfrontingforfarmers.“Thehealthofthewaterbecomebeforetheofthepeople.That’swhenyouthink about it.” She gave an example of a farmer wanting to prevent damage to a bridge on their“Areproperty.youallowed to do some work in a river to prevent a bridge being washed out, or is the river more important than the bridge? Strictly speaking the river is more important.”Hoggardsaid other key concerns for farmers included climate change policy, the emissions trading scheme, regulation and compliance costs, and debt.“With raised awareness of foot and mouth disease in Indonesia and Malaysia, biosecurity has rocketed up the list of top concerns that farmers want the government to confront,” HoggardStaplessaid.said she wasn’t sure how soon farmer confidence would improve: “A lot of that will depend on what comes out of government.”

• Availability: it is bene cial to appoint someone nearby or someone who can easily travel. You can appoint an overseas executor, however, it makes the process longer, more dif cult, and expensive. While not required, it is a good idea to let your executor know you are appointing them (and if more than one, who the other executor/s are). You may also like to tell them the name of the law rm that holds your Will, so they know where to turn when the time comes. What’s involved? The primary job of your executor is to carry out the terms of your Will. Carrying out the terms may include some of the following [1]tasks:Applying for probate (con rmation from the High Court that the executor is authorised to act and the Will is valid). [2[ Determining what your assets and liabilities are. [3[ Selling a property. [4] Paying off any debts. [5] Making funeral arrangements. [6] Carrying out any special wishes such as gifts of signi cant items. [7] Distributing the residue (the remaining assets) to the bene ciaries of your Will, and [8] Closing bank accounts. For many of these tasks, your executor/s will have the helping hand of a lawyer to guide them through the process. Any costs involved such as fees for valuers, accountants, real estate, lawyers, and other advisors come out of the estate. If any of your bene ciaries are minors, the executor may have to wait until they reach a certain age before they can distribute their share of the estate. During this time your executor must monitor the needs of the minor bene ciaries as they can make payments towards their welfare from the funds needed. Your executor can look to the Will and Trusts Act 2019 for guidance on this. When the nal distribution of the estate has been completed and there is nothing left, the job of your executorship is complete. No Will, No Worries? It is not uncommon for a person to die without a Will. In fact, over half of the New Zealand population do not have a Will. Without a Will, there will be no executor appointed as your personal representative when you die. So, what happens then? Essentially, one of your next of kin will need to put their hand up to be your personal representative. That person must apply to the High Court to be appointed as what is called, your administrator. An administrator has the same role as an executor – to tidy up your affairs and distribute your property. However, as you did not leave a Will you do not get to decide who gets your property. Instead, the Administration Act 1969 has a schedule that determines who the bene ciaries of your estate are depending on your family Notarrangements.havingaWill can mean your administrator and bene ciaries are not who you would have chosen. The only way to protect your wishes is by recording them in your Will. A Will, in most circumstances, will give you the freedom to decide who deals with your property and what happens to it when you are gone. The better prepared we all are, the easier it is for those we leave behind. offer a free appointment to discuss the above matters and anything legal.
