Food right there for the taking John Lazo-Ron A Masterton rest home is sending out a reminder to the Wairarapa community that their food share pantry is still ‘open for business’, and that there’s plenty of food to go around. Lyndale Care, tucked into Coradine St, just off Cole St in Masterton, officially opened its food share pantry on March 5, 2019. The idea came from Lyndale Care diversional therapist Jo Hayes, who had seen similar concepts throughout Wairarapa. It was also the last legacy of master builder and Rotarian Mervyn Brown, who died on November 5, 2018. Since then, it had become a food sharing haven where anyone from the community could drop off surplus produce or foodstuffs and pick up something else for the table at the same time. However, in recent times, while the pantry continued to be filled, the takers had been nowhere to be seen. Hayes believed one of the partial reasons for the decline in people coming for food was possibly linked to Covid-19 fears. “Although we don’t monitor how often people come to get food here, we’ve noticed there has been a bit of a decline in numbers,” she said.

It’s not aimed at a speciÿ c group, there’s no label on it. We just want to have the interaction with the community and our residents, so they feel a part of it.

“I just think since Covid-19, when people didn’t socialise as much being wary of community transition, it may have caused them to have a reluctance to come here.” Hayes, who said the food pantry was used a lot more pre-Covid-19, wanted to highlight that the food

pantry was not a food bank and that the aim of the concept was to bring people together in the spirit of sharing. “This is not the food bank,” she said. “This is the food share pantry, and you don’t have to be in need to use our cupboard.

“It’s not aimed at a speciﬁc group, there’s no label on it. We just want to have the interaction with the community and our residents, so they feel a part of it.” She also mentioned the residents who purposely grow vegetables and fruit for the food pantry were

always feeling disappointed when food wasn’t getting used. “[The residents] grow the vegetables, they harvest them, then they put them out there,” she said. “Since [the food pantry] opened that has inspired them to put up a shade house to keep up with the

vegetable garden, and we’ve just put in an orchard that we’re hoping in years to come we will share that fruit. “For them to go back out the next day and see the food gone, they feel like they’ve accomplished what they set out to do. “Food won’t always last so if [food] isn’t used, it gets disposed of which in the end disappoints the residents who put them in. “They’re in a rest home, but we’re pushing the value that they’re never too old to still contribute to society in a worthwhile way where they’re making a diﬀerence to someone else’s life, they can still give.” Hayes hoped numbers to the food pantry, as well as contributions and takings, would turn over quickly. “The aim is to see it turned over with people always coming in for the food. “If you’re just after a lemon or a cucumber, you don’t need to go to the shop, come check us out ﬁrst.” “Even if you contribute, that doesn’t mean you can’t take. “We want it gone. We want it taken.” The food share pantry has and is open to all types of food, whether that be canned food, packet food, and boxed food.

New recruits eager to get out and help John Lazo-Ron Hearing a loudly wailing emergency siren is a common occurrence in Wairarapa. When this takes place – which could be anytime during the day to the early hours of the morning – what residents would have heard is the summoning of their local volunteer fire brigade to an emergency. At any of those moments, a fire and emergency volunteer could be at work, out for lunch, or even asleep. The moment that sound hits their eardrums, they drop whatever they are doing and rush straight to their station ready to tackle whatever emergency lies ahead – which could range from a house or scrub fire, medical emergency, or a crash. And with these types of events increasing across the region of late, there’s no denying the importance of volunteer firefighters and their work to keep the region safe. Volunteer firefighters make up the majority of Fire and Emergency personnel in Wairarapa. There are 13 Fire and Emergency stations planted across the region with 12 of them primarily volunteer brigades. The Masterton station is mixed with career and volunteer firefighters. To keep up with the hard work needed to fight these daily battles, recruitment is key for Fire and Emergency. But to be able to withstand the ‘heat’, you would be put through your strides as four of the latest volunteer recruits to the Greytown and Carterton Fire and Emergency Stations have recently found out. Dave Stephenson and Harry Newton [Greytown]

have both been training to become ﬁreﬁghters for over a year now. They both recently graduated mid-January. Stephenson, a property specialist for Property Brokers in Greytown, and Newton, the Vicar of Greytown, went through some intense training in that time. But both said it was well

appreciated as they’d already had to deal with so many incidents within that short window. “We only graduated a few weeks ago, but we’ve seen a lot already,” Stephenson said. “Scrub fires, house fires, assisting the public, medical emergencies, you name it.” Newton recalled one difficult moment at the Woolston Fire Training Centre in Christchurch – where both men trained – where he went through a Breathing Apparatus Training Building course which put him in a tight

situation in an over-heated tunnel. “We were put in a little narrow tunnel that was dark and about 60 degrees Celsius.” “We had to crawl through it with a breathing mask on and oxygen tank on so we could barely ﬁt. But to be honest, it was great fun.” Both men said the reason they put themselves through that intensity was to give back to the Greytown community they dearly love. Like their Greytown comrades, Caitlyn O’Neale, 19, and Charlee Gooding, 18, wanted to give something back to the Carterton community and felt being part of their local ﬁre brigade was the way to go. “I worked in the Carterton New World for three years, so I got to know my community and I wanted to help them,”

O’Neale said. “The fire station is only across the road, so I’d hear the siren go off and see everyone turn up and I just wanted to be a part of that.” Gooding said her parents, both part of the Mataikona rural fire brigade near Castlepoint, inspired her to keep volunteer firefighting within the family. “My parents encouraged me to join,” she said. “I’m in town most of the time so it made sense to do some urban and be part of the Carterton brigade and I’ve really loved it since then.” Both girls juggled school, work, and training to become volunteer firefighters and were now looking forward to their chance to get on a truck. “I don’t live close to the fire station so haven’t got there in time,” O’Neale said. “But it’ll happen.” “The guys are pretty quick getting there, so I need to be faster, but I’m trying,” laughed Gooding. “I am looking forward to being able to play my part in helping.”

Two exhibitions opening over summer and autumn at Aratoi will bring a riot of colour, personality and symbolism to Wairarapa. Rob McLeod and Victor Berezovsky both enjoyed the use of colour and asked viewers to delve into their psyche. Scotland-born McLeod’s work was cartoony with a serious edge. The Banshee and the Lifeboat challenges traditional notions of painting; climate change, celebrity culture and world politics are conveyed in an exaggerated and ridiculous way, making

viewers rethink current global concerns. Wellington-based Berezovsky’s paintings were more dream-like, strange, and ephemeral. Despite an impressive body of work, Waiting at the curb would only be his second solo exhibition at a public gallery in New Zealand. Both exhibitions would open on Friday February 19 at 5:30pm. A combined talk for both exhibitions would be held the following day at 11am. Admittance to the opening and the artist talks would be free.

Rediscovering a local potter Potter John de Joux is being remembered in a retrospective exhibition at Mazzola Jewellery & Gallery in Featherston over the coming month. De Joux, who passed away in March last year, was an active professional potter in Wairarapa from the early 1970s to early 1990s. During this time, he lived near Featherston, ﬁrst along the FeatherstonMartinborough highway for a number of years, and for a longer period of time on Boundary Road. During the early part of his career, De Joux focused mainly on domestic pottery such as bowls, plates, cups, vessels and dishes until the mid-1980s when the local economy’s opening up to cheap foreign imports decimated the New Zealand pottery industry. De Joux then changed tack to large sculptural forms for the garden which

he continued to make part time after being employed in the Martinborough wine industry from the early 1990s, before giving up pottery altogether. Following his retirement from working in the vineyards, de Joux was a weekly visitor to the gallery. He would share his views on art and life with the gallery director, David Famularo. “John de Joux was well-known in Featherston and the wider Wairarapa community for his engagement with the arts, music and people in general,” Famularo said. “John was always modest about his work and never signed his pots, but they were of an equal standard to the work of many other better-known potters working at the same time in New Zealand. “Furthermore, John was part of small group of artisans working in

Wairarapa in the 1970s and 1980s. “While the work of the other artisans has been recorded for posterity, John went largely under the radar of the local art community. “Hence this exhibition, and a small book to follow, to record the memory of John and his work as a potter, at least as a part of Wairarapa’s arts and craft history.” The works in the exhibition were all that remained on de Joux’s property from when he practiced pottery. Most were for viewing only but there would be six large pots up for sale. Mazzola Jewellery & Gallery would open on both Saturdays and Sundays for the next month for the exhibition. The gallery would also be showing a small exhibition ‘Exposition de Petite

Campers accused of Cape Palliser bush fire John Lazo-Ron Ngawi locals have accused campers in Cape Palliser of causing a large scrub fire that engulfed a vast area close to Cape Palliser Rd on February 8. Multiple Fire and Emergency crews from Wellington and Wairarapa battled a large blaze south of Ngawi until the next day, with 90% of the fire contained by 2pm. Two helicopters were brought in to tackle the fire as ground crews found the steep terrain too difficult to access. The fire spread over about 30 hectares over the hill, just a few km south of Cape Palliser’s iconic lighthouse. Although a Fire and Emergency spokesperson said the fire’s cause had yet to be determined, Ngawi local witnesses have put the fire down to campers “doing a sloppy job” of putting their fire out. “I’m pretty damn sure it

This fire is a prime example of how fast a fire can spread and how dangerous it can be in the current conditions.

massive simply because they didn’t take proper care of the ﬁre they had going. “It would have been just a sloppy job of them putting it out.” Another Ngawi local said his son had discovered the ﬁre burning when he had set out that way to let some cray pots out in the sea. “When my son saw the

Illustration of reservoir Wairarapa Water Limited is investigating the development of a water reservoir in the hills north west of Masterton, called the Wakamoekau Community Water Storage Scheme. The reservoir will provide water in dry months and will meet environmental, social, cultural and economic needs of the community.

helicopters’.” The local said he hoped the campers would see all the news of what they had done but did not think they would come clean about it. Work with the helicopters ceased on Tuesday evening [February 9] and all personnel were removed from the area beside one crew who

remained overnight to watch if the fire sparked up again. The Fire and Emergency spokesperson said that no investigation was being conducted at the time of the fire and was not sure if one would be done. Asked about the locals’ accusations on campers causing the fire, he said, “the locals may well have known and seen a lot more than we’re aware of, but for now as far as we’re concerned, we’re not aware of what caused it.” The Cape Palliser fire, along with several other fires over the past few weeks, had led Fire and Emergency to enforce a full fire ban across Wairarapa. “This fire is a prime example of how fast a fire can spread and how dangerous it can be in the current conditions, Wairarapa principal rural fire officer Phill Wishnowsky said.

Water storage in Wairarapa

How will water storage help the Wairarapa community?

Don’t we need to save water first before we create cost by building new reservoirs?

The Wairarapa is at the extreme end of climate change predictions, with significantly hotter temperatures and increase in drought expected in the future, according to the NIWA. If we have stored water we can use it when the dry weather hits us each year to support towns and businesses, and provide water to farmers so they can grow our food.

Yes. Water needs to be valued and more needs to be done to encourage and to enforce more efficient use of water. We can also be strategic and use creative and efficient solutions to prepare for the future. There are always multiple solutions to a problem, some of which are being explored by the Wairarapa Water Resilience Committee.

Who is backing this project?

What happens if there is an earthquake?

As well as central and local government, the project is supported by employers, industry and landowners in the Wairarapa.

As we all know, the Wairarapa does have many fault lines, meaning that the reservoir will be designed to the highest standard and adhere rigorously to New Zealand dam safety regulations. This project is about securing a thriving future for the Wairarapa, and a full review of all risks will be done before anything gets built.

We continue to incorporate ideas, thoughts, values and aspirations from many in the comunity. Feedback is welcome

STICKMAN’S WEEKLY SPECIALS MASTERTON

Hill to shut for work The New Zealand Transport Agency [NZTA] is planning more overnight road closures on the Remutaka Hill over the next few weeks. NZTA said closures would be for essential maintenance work. The Remutaka Hill road closed for one night last Sunday and Monday, and would close for a further ﬁve nights from 9pm Sunday, March 7, to 4am Friday, March 12. These would be the fourth and ﬁfth in the planned overnight closures scheduled between November 2020 and June 2021 to enable road crews to safely undertake essential maintenance and slip prevention works for the safety of all road users, regional transport systems manager Mark Owen said. “The Remutaka Hill

road is steep, narrow and winding which makes it a challenging environment to work in. Having the road fully closed to traffic would help ensure the safety of crews while work is being done,” he said. “The night-time closures also significantly reduce the number of daytime disruptions for road users and enables better quality of maintenance work. “Our crews are able to complete many months’ worth of maintenance during a small number of closures because multiple teams can work across the hill at the same time without disrupting traffic. This significantly reduces stop/go disruptions for motorists during the day which, in the past, occurred almost daily.” Motorists were advised

to plan ahead to avoid the upcoming full-night closures of the Remutaka Hill from February to June 2021. NZTA said while the dates were ﬁxed, bad weather could cause works to be cancelled- but no other full closure dates would happen during the period, except in an emergency. Access would be available for emergency services throughout the closure. A shuttle van service can be booked for night shift workers and others with essential commitments and should be booked in advance. For this, email remutaka@nzta.govt.nz Monday to Friday. Other upcoming road closures are a on-night closure on April 11, and a ﬁve-night closure starting June 13.

No relief for park pee-ers Soumya Bhamidipati The skatepark upgrade at Queen Elizabeth Park will not include more toilets facilities, despite requests from users, who say people regularly relieve themselves by answering nature’s call in the wild. Concerns were raised by a member of the public during a recent council pop-up stall at Queen Elizabeth Park. The member of the public said he had seen males and females urinating in the trees behind the skatepark. He asked council staﬀ

whether there were any plans to include toilets closer to the skating facilities. MDC community facilities and activities manager Andrea Jackson said six toilets were currently available near the skatepark. “Public toilets are currently available within around 250 metres of the skatepark at the Kids Own Playground/Mini Putt, which has four unisex toilets [and is] open 7am7pm during the summer, as well as the 24-hour Exeloo and pissoir,” she said.

“While toilets are not part of the skatepark revamp, the issue will be considered as part of planning of future development in the area.” Construction work on the skatepark’s upgrade was set to begin this March and was expected to be completed in March next year. More than $1 million in government funding was allocated to the project last year. Jackson asked skatepark users not to answer the call of nature in nature, but to instead use the provided toilet facilities.

PlyGuy under new ownership PlyGuy has been around Wairarapa for many years and is now under new ownership. Matt McQuaid purchased PlyGuy in November 2020, and he brings to the business a highly disciplined, efficient approach gleaned from his navy years.

with the British Royal Navy. Matt served on exchange with the Royal Navy in the helicopter assault carrier, HMS OCEAN, and deployed to the Middle East. He left the navy in August 2020. Gaining in popularity, plywood is hardly a new product. Cutting wood thinly and gluing it together was first tried by the ancient Egyptians and Greeks. In the late 1700s, Samuel Bentham, a British naval engineer, applied for patents covering several machines to produce veneers.

PlyGuy new owner, Matt McQuaid. Matt is also a volunteer firefighter in the Martinborough Fire Brigade.

PlyGuy is situated on the state highway at Clareville, north Carterton. After Matt and his Irish-born wife, Donna, chose Martinborough to live in and raise a family, he set about looking for a business. He came across PlyGuy for sale and is excited at the opportunity to continue this service and expand. The website already reflects Matt’s lateral thinking in the list of plywood Trade Me items he is selling off as ‘great deals.’ Matt was attracted to the versatility of plywood. Depending on the grade chosen (and there are many), the wood sheets can be used for anything from wall lining and flooring, to wind bracing, packaging and boxes, playground equipment, furniture and fencing. Because of that versatility, Matt’s customer base is diverse, from builder and construction companies, to famer and Do-it-your-selfers. “It’s a very on-trend product which is appealing to all types of people,” enthuses Matt, who admits to having a passion for woodworking when a boy.

In his patent applications, he described the concept of laminating several layers of veneer with glue to form a thicker piece. 50 years later a Swedish engineer, Immanuel Nobel, realised that several thinner layers of wood bonded together would be stronger than a single thick layer of wood. Understanding the industrial potential of laminated wood, he invented the rotary lathe. This captured the imagination of the building world. It was used in the US from 1865 and by the 1920s, standard plywood sheets were used as a building material in many countries.

shore-based roles. He was involved in peace keeping work in Korea and trained as a Warfare officer at Portsmouth in England

The adhesives used in plywood have become more environmentally safe too. Both urea formaldehyde and phenol formaldehyde are carcinogenic in high concentrations. Manufacturers now use low formaldehyde-emitting glues, denoted by an “E” rating. Plywood produced to “E0” has zero formaldehyde emissions. Matt gets between 90-95% of his ply from within New Zealand and the small amount he gets imported is certified sustainable.

The Life Flight helicopter transported a woman to Wellington Hospital on Sunday after she fell from the reef at Castlepoint. PHOTO/OWEN BENGSTON

Castlepoint visitor information to be reviewed by DOC Tom Taylor Several reef-related accidents, including a woman injured after being swept off the reef at Castlepoint this month, have brought the Department of Conservation [DOC] to review the visitor information at Castlepoint Scenic Reserve. The incident was the second of its kind in three weeks. The woman and her child had fallen into the basin and were slammed up against the rocks on February 7. She was discharged from Wellington Hospital two days later. While the Life Flight helicopter had transported the woman to Wellington Hospital in a moderate condition, the child had been in a condition stable enough for the child’s father to drive them to hospital. Department of Conservation [DOC]

Wairarapa representative Jim Flack said about 60,000 people visited the DOC-maintained walking track at Castlepoint each year. The track featured safety features such as boardwalks, steps, and handrails. “Injuries generally occur when people go beyond the tracks and explore the reef structure.” It would be difficult to construct and maintain a fence to prohibit people from walking onto the reef, as the reef was solid rock and pounded by big swells, Flack said. DOC was in discussions with the Castlepoint Ratepayers and Residents Association to review the visitor information at Castlepoint Scenic Reserve. “The focus is about how best to tell the stories of this amazing area, and how visitors can enjoy the area and stay safe,” Flack said. Current information at the reserve included

general warnings about the dangers of steep terrain and unpredictable waves. A plaque recognised those who had lost their lives after being washed off the reef. Flack said that together with the community, DOC would investigate compelling ways to tell these stories. In the meantime, he called on visitors to Castlepoint to respect the environment. “It is spectacular, dynamic, unpredictable and sometimes very risky. As with tramping in the mountains, keep an eye on the conditions and take all necessary steps to be safe at all times. Conditions can change very quickly.” Castlepoint volunteer fire chief Anders Crofoot, who attended the incident on February 7, said signage was adequate but people often ignored it. “There are lots of signs there, but people don’t seem to be able to realise how risky it actually is.”

8 Wairarapa Midweek Local News Wednesday, February 17, 2021

Apartments for Martinborough Tom Taylor A modern apartment complex in Martinborough has received resource consent from council in what will be a ﬁrst for South Wairarapa. Tim Martin bought the site behind the Pukemanu Bar and Eatery, between Oxford, Cork, and Kansas Sts, in 2016. Since then, Martin had worked through the resource consent process with South Wairarapa District Council [SWDC] for about three years. Martin said his company Cork Holdings Limited planned to retain some of the units to provide shortterm accommodation for visitors to Martinborough. Other units would be owned by individuals, who could choose how to use them. “It was never really intended that it would be set up for permanent occupation,” Martin said. “The weekend market is a big thing in Martinborough, and there’s a shortage of [accommodation for] that, so we anticipate that this will appeal to people who don’t want the hassle of coming over here and mowing the lawns once a weekend.” Part of the appeal of the

apartments, according to Martin, was that owners could simply “lock up and leave”. These owners could lease their apartments back to a short-stay accommodation management service that the complex would provide. “They can generate investment return without then having to do any of the work.” Martin said there was no single facility in Martinborough that could accommodate large groups of people, and that his complex, called Eightways, would help to ﬁll this gap.

Nearby resident Theresa Le Feuvre was concerned that the project would not address the shortage of permanent accommodation in the town. “I think there is a desperate need in New Zealand generally for permanent, safe, warm, dry accommodation, and I think Martinborough actually has plenty of holiday accommodation,” Le Feuvre said. “I think we should be looking after permanent residents before we bring in [short-term accommodation].”

However, Martin said that the pool of accommodation was in short supply across peak periods, and the Eightways apartments would provide more options. “There is of course a shortage of housing generally. “If some of these people [buying apartments] are changing up from their existing properties, then it frees up another family to come and reside in Martinborough.” As a courtesy to residents, Martin had held meetings in 2018 to address their concerns,

which included privacy, noise, and parking issues. Le Feuvre had not been a resident prior to the meetings. Martin said that the resource consent allowed for a maximum height of 15 metres, however the apartments would be signiﬁcantly shorter than that. Le Feuvre said that a previous neighbour had rented out their property on Airbnb, advertising it as sleeping up to 17 people. “It wasn’t pleasant because there would be parties going on in the early hours of

the morning.” Martin agreed that such accommodation would be “incredibly disruptive for all the neighbouring residents.” The design of the apartment complex would aim to minimise noise heard beyond the complex, with the buildings themselves soaking up much of the sound from any shared facilities. Addressing the need for parking in the area, plans for the project included additional parking spaces on Kansas and Cork Sts, as well as onsite parking. Designs for the complex included key heritage elements such as pitched roofs, gable ends, and tall, narrow windows. “We didn’t want to design something that was a modern facility that would look good in a city but wouldn’t look good in a rural context,” Martin said. “At the end of the day, we are a rural township, and we have tried to create a blend of modern architecture with rural aesthetic.” A second stage of the project would include commercial buildings along the Oxford St frontage, with oﬃce space, retail, and the possibility for hospitality spaces.

GARDEN

with

Water means life Summer is here, and it seems like a long time since we have had any rain or anything of significance to our gardens anyway. The dry weather can be fatal on our precious plants, we are already seeing proof of this with customers bringing in or sending us photos of their ‘victims’. This is very sad, we understand that a lot of time and money has gone into peoples gardens, and we don’t want to see anyone suffer losses. The damage done is not always immediately obvious. With many trees and shrubs it can take a while for symptoms of stress to show, so even if it looks like everything is going OK so far, it would be a good idea to take care to ensure your plants stay well hydrated. Here are some things to keep in mind to help your garden stay alive this summer.

KEEP YOUR POTTED PLANTS ALIVE THIS SUMMER

ACCURATELY CHECK MOISTURE Just as not enough water can be dangerous for plants, too much can also cause problems. Learning about the needs of your plants, and how to water only when it’s required, rather than on a schedule, is a great place to start. Feeling the soil is the best way to test moisture. As a guide, in a large potted plant if you feel down to around 2cm of soil and it’s dry, then it’s time to water. In the garden check by inserting a trowel into the soil, if possible down to the root zone area. If the trowel comes up clean you need to water, if soil clings to the tool then it should be damp enough. Another way you can check is to squeeze some soil in your hand. When you open your fist the dirt should stay in loose clumps with only a bit crumbling away. Too dry and it will all fall away, too wet and you could mould it into shapes.

Making sure the water gets to the roots with soaker hoses stops the waste of water and prevents diseases on foliage.

WATER WHERE IT’S NEEDED Water needs to get down into the root zone for it to be used efficiently, watering the foliage not only encourages fungal problems, a lot of it also escapes as waste into the atmosphere. Take the time to thoroughly go around the entire root zone of your plants, back and front. Soaker/weeper hoses are a great way to ensure the ground gets wet rather than the top of the plants.

PICK YOUR MOMENT How the soil ‘feels’ is the best way to gauge moisture levels but there are tools available to help.

heat of the day, once again ensuring you water the roots and not the foliage to avoid waste and disease. For most plants a thorough soaking around the root zone at this time of year every 2-3 days should be plenty to keep them moist. For new plantings they may need more regular attention to encourage root development.

It makes more sense to water the garden either early in the morning, or later in the evening, rather than during the

ENRICH YOUR SOIL Mixing in products such as Daltons Garden Mix or Revital grow-all to your soil will help with water retention. They will help improve soil structure, drainage, encourage earthworm activity which also increases aeration.

Adding a layer of mulch to garden and pots is a simple way to help with water retention and also prevents weeds growing that cause competition. When laying down mulch make sure it doesn’t touch the stem of the plant.

In some ways growing in containers during the hot months are easy to look after. Often pots are situated closer to the house and more visible, making it more noticeable when they dry out and have problems. It is also easier to cart buckets of ‘waste water’ shorter distances, making it more likely to be done than trudging down the back yard to water time after time for bigger areas.

Disaster waiting to happen

Carterton

Soumya Bhamidipati

A blaze sparked in Carterton last Thursday was quickly contained by fire crews, but neighbours say it was only a matter of time before disaster struck. Emergency services responded to multiple 111 calls just after 1pm. State Highway 2 was closed and traffic diverted. No injuries were reported. Fire and Emergency assistant area commander Nick Pyatt said the fire had covered about 500m2. Crews arrived on the vacant site on Costley Rd to find a tractor, scrub, and nearby fences ablaze. While an investigation into how the fire began was underway, Pyatt said it appeared the tractor might have caught a tyre lying in the grass, causing a spark to ignite the machine and grass. The fire, fanned by the strong northwesterly winds, had spread quickly and neighbours had selfevacuated, he said. About 40 crew and eight vehicles attended the blaze and Pyatt commended the efforts of everyone involved, including the speed with which fire crews arrived at the scene. “Initial efforts by the Carterton and Greytown volunteers, they literally saved property here,”

We would urge everyone in Wairarapa to be mindful about the hot, dry, and windy conditions.

he said. “This is a really busy time of year for us … we continue asking our volunteers to stand up to put out ﬁres day after day.” He urged those who would garden with machinery to think carefully about the conditions. “We’re pleading with the public to be really, really careful,” he said. “We would urge everyone in Wairarapa to be mindful about the hot, dry, and windy conditions.” Mandy Bedingﬁeld and partner Raymond Hicks were contracted to look after the land, which was owned by a property developer based in

Upper Hutt. Bedingfield said Hicks had mown the lawn a few weeks ago and was just there to tidy up some of the edges. “He hit an old wheel that was in the grass,” she said. “He jumped out of the tractor, thinking that he could stamp it out.” She acknowledged the speedy arrival and sincere efforts of the fire crews. “They did get here really quickly,” she said. “It’s unfortunate, but at least everybody’s okay. “We’ll be dropping them some beers off at the station.” Costley St resident Thomas Beagle was at home when the fire started.

The fire had burnt some of Beagle’s back section, stopping where he had cut his lawn. “You can see how a mown lawn is well worth it,” he said. A Brooklyn Rd resident, who did not wish to be named, said he had heard the tractor before the fire started. “We could hear the mower hitting the stones from inside the house.” An area in the middle had been left unmowed when the field had been mown a couple of weeks ago, he said. “He’s probably been told to tidy it up,” said the man, who had been a dairy farmer for 15 years.

“I’ve spent hundred of hours on a tractor mowing hay,” he said. “You mitigate the risk, you don’t then go out on a 28 degree day … You do not mow in this type of weather.” “This has just been a disaster waiting to happen.” The fire crews’ actions had saved neighbouring houses as they had left the tractor to burn and instead focused on containing the radius of the fire, he said. “The tractor was the sacrificial lamb,” he said. “I think the brigade did a very good job concentrating on the houses.”

DRAFT PARKS AND OPEN SPACES STRATEGY

CONSULTATION NOW OPEN

Did you know the council owns nearly 400 hectares of parks and open spaces across the district? These areas are a fantastic resource, enjoyed by many in the community and the council has now developed its first draft Parks and Open Spaces Strategy looking at how they can be managed as a network. The draft strategy is now open for consultation until 10 March. It was developed with input from user groups, and iwi, hapū, marae and hapori Māori hui. We know our community values parks and open spaces and the current consultation is an opportunity to help shape the strategy.

Tell us what you think by 4pm on Wednesday 10 March 2021

Goal 1: Active Partnerships Our goal is to work closely with mana whenua, other open space providers and the community to provide a vibrant inclusive parks and open space network. This goal reflects the council’s strategic relationship commitment to work closely with mana whenua. It also reflects the importance of working collaboratively with other providers, community organisations, and volunteers. Goal 2: Healthy Parks Our goal is to provide healthy and resilient parks and open spaces that support and enhance our district’s biodiversity and natural heritage. This goal reflects the important role that parks and open spaces play in contributing to healthy sustainable environments and enhancing the district’s biodiversity. Goal 3: Healthy People Our goal is to provide a quality parks and open spaces network that offers choice, is accessible, and meets community needs. This goal reflects the important role that parks play in creating healthy communities through providing sports and active play spaces, opportunities to connect with nature, as well as education and learning opportunities. Goal 4: A Strong Identity Our goal is to provide a parks and open space network that values our District’s heritage and celebrates our unique character. This goal reflects the important role parks and open spaces play in creating the district identity. Acknowledging the heritage trees, special places, and association with important events and traditions, as well as providing space for events, will contribute to celebrating this identity. Goal 5: A Protected, Planned and Connected Network Our goal is to provide an integrated network that meets our legislative and best practice obligations. This goal is critical in enabling all the other goals. A well-connected park network will contribute to good access to parks and open spaces as well as a high level of residential ‘liveability’.

The strategy document, and feedback form, can be viewed online at the council website: mstn.govt.nz Hard copies are available at the council offices at 161 Queen Street, and the Masterton District Library.

MIDWEEK PHOTOS

Opinion

No need to panic, just stay united In the wake of this country’s latest covid-19 lockdown setback, I’ve seen and heard news of people – particularly in Auckland and Wellington – heading to the supermarket faster than a hot knife through butter. The first thing that came to my mind was, ‘here we go again’. Every time we get the orders we are to go into another lockdown, for some reason, it causes people to think we are walking into Armageddon. But I don’t understand why? If there’s anything to be learned from previous lockdowns, it’s that there is plenty of food and essentials to go around. There is definitely no need to panic buy. We’ve been told on multiple occasions, previously and now, just that. But no one seems to listen. In perspective, what we

CUTIE OF THE WEEK

Peace of Mind

John Lazo-Ron really should be taking from our previous setbacks is that we’ve beaten covid-19 before – under worse circumstances – and we’ll do it again. The amazing thing about New Zealand and our response to covid-19 is that everyone complied. We have been dubbed the ‘team of five million’ due to how we went about it all. We have become the envy of this world because we were determined to stick to our government’s plan and do things right. We can now live our lives like nothing ever happened. We can fill a stadium for sports events or concerts. We can have weddings where more than 100 people can attend. And it all happened because we showed a united front to battle

a deadly virus that has decimated the rest of this planet. And remember, when we did all this, case numbers in New Zealand were much higher than they are now. So what am I trying to say here? Don’t let fear creep into your mind where it causes you to panic and do things out of the normal. The only mindset we need is the positive united front we have shown before where we continue to stick to the rules to make sure this new variant is stamped out of the country. Simply do that, and we’ll be back to level one in no time. I said it earlier and I’ll say it again, we’ve overcome covid-19 before, and we’ll definitely do it again. Stay united and stay safe.

Extra

Young art explorers probe exhibition Aratoi welcomed a special group of visitors through their doors last Friday. Twelve eager preschoolers joined Aratoi educators Kate and Becky to explore the exhibition Family Tree/ Whakapapa as part of the gallery’s newest programme Art Explorers. Especially designed for the youngest of budding artists, Art Explorers is a springboard for youngsters to experience art and art making processes. As the tour began a nervous buzz of curiosity and anticipation could be felt. Kate began to talk about the exhibitions as though they were a storybook, “each artwork tells a story of how the artist sees the world. We should think about what the artists might be thinking but we can also create a picture of what we

want it to be”, she said. Closely exploring the artwork of Susanna Slavick, the children spotted many parts of flourishing trees – flowers, fruit, roots and branches as well as the insects and creatures making their homes in these Trees of Life. “Look at the background, what can you see there?” Kate asked. “Burnt and cut trees, where will the birds live?“ observed one child. Sitting under the tangled, expanding art of Sarah Slavick the children were asked what the works reminded them of. Giraffe and snakeskin were seen by some, spider legs and hair by others. Soon it was time to explore some art making of their own. Keeping Sarah Slavick’s painting Elegy to the Underground in mind the children used dye on

fabric to paint their own roots – watching the dye travel through the fabric like roots into the ground. Art Explorers is a FREE programme run on the first Friday of each month. It is designed for preschool children aged 3-5 and their caregivers. Each month the tour will look at a different exhibition. The sessions always finish with a handson art making activity inspired by the artworks on display. March’s Art Explorers tour will focus on the works of Rob McLeod, filled with bright colour and wacky people. • For more information, visit: https://www. aratoi.org.nz/education • Art Explorers is free of charge and runs every month on the first Friday

CLIMATE FOR CHANGE

Reflections on Waitangi Day from southern Onoke Raihania Tipoki On Waitangi Day, I wondered what February 6, 1840 looked like here at Onoke. It was a full moon which means she would have been blazing over Aorangi. Reflecting her celestial beauty off the crystal clear waters of Onoke, Wairarapa Moana, who shimmers in majestic hinurangi abundance. There were 2000 Pākeha in Aotearoa at the signing of Te Tiriti o Waitangi, none in Wairarapa. 182 years later, the place would be unrecognisable to the mountains that surround us, had they not witnessed the systematic collapse of our traditional society. One hundred and eight-two years has seen the expansion of a new civilisation, culture, and economy addicted to ‘progress’. An extractive culture growing itself at the expense of everything

else. A global society with 400 million people living in poverty while one per cent of the world’s population possesses the majority of its wealth. The NZ Climate Change Commission has released its draft plan on how to become carbon zero by 2050. To focus on emissions reduction, however, is to treat the symptoms of a deeper cultural illness. One of entitlement, greed, and extraction. We need transformational, cultural, systemic change.

Many now understand that we are experiencing the early stages of civilisational collapse. Inequality, resource depletion, fragile complex global systems, and climate change are all accumulating into a perfect storm that we will at some stage need to weather. How great a storm that is will come down to when we choose to re-evaluate our direction and realign ourselves with nature. Since we’ve already faced extinction, through

imperialism and settler colonialism, indigenous peoples are profoundly equipped to face societal collapse. Yet we’re also more vulnerable since many of us remain disconnected from our roots – land, water, tikanga, and communities – which would otherwise sustain us. Ironically, localised systems that indigenous peoples developed over millennia are now promoted by many of the world’s leading thinkers who recognise that we must abandon much of what constitutes western civilisation in order to avoid social and climate catastrophe. To dismantle capitalism we must localise communities and economies. Regardless of the dominating economic system, those who succeed in this localisation will be infinitely more resilient than those who do not.

As a relatively small and isolated nation we have the opportunity to build true resilience by developing sustainable models of society that will withstand any major global disruption. When I think about this day in 1840 I think about the relationships our tīpuna had with the land. I think about how hard they fought to keep their way of life. I picture them walking their whenua today. I remember the agreement they had with the world’s largest imperial power. I feel angry. I feel sad. I feel grief. And I feel deeply driven to enact the change that must come. The flaws of this civilisation, this culture, this economic system must be exposed if we are to spare these mountains the tragedy that continues to unfold before them.

FEBRUARY UPDATE MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR Kia ora koutou, It has been a very busy and successful start to 2021. Last weekend saw South Wairarapa at full capacity, with the first of the two annual Martinborough Fairs held on Saturday showcasing over 500 stalls attracting visitors far and wide. Special mention must go to Wairarapa Rotary Club for putting on such a fantastic and successful event year on year. Warm weather continues, and with that comes dryer rivers and the need for water restrictions. You will have seen a residential sprinkler and outdoor irrigation system ban in effect in all three towns. Please continue to be mindful and conserve our precious water during the summer months. While on the topic of water, SWDC provides two stock water races and below outlines Council’s commitment to testing the relevance for users and the wider community. Please ensure you fill out the survey and have your say.

Lastly, SWDC’s Long Term Consultation Document will be released in March for community feedback, providing more detail about the upcoming year’s activities. Plans need to be a collaboration between the Council, community, partners, and stakeholders to make sure we all get the best outcomes. Ngā mihi.

Alex Beijen MAYOR

SWDC IS PROUD TO SUPPORT NEIGHBOURS DAY

WATER RESTRICTIONS IN PLACE IN ALL THREE TOWNS Featherston, Martinborough and Greytown residents, when watering your garden please use hand-held devices only, do not use sprinklers, irrigation systems or unattended hoses. The year-round, alternate-day watering restriction still applies. The stricter restrictions are necessary as part of a multifaceted approach to ensuring there is enough water for everyone all summer long. Information and updates on current water restrictions for all three South Wairarapa towns, along with further tips on how to conserve water, see www.swdc.govt.nz

COMMUNITY FUNDING AVAILABLE CREATIVE COMMUNITIES GRANTS

SWDC is supporting Neighbours Day, running 20-30 March, with the objective of reducing the loneliness and isolation of people in our communities. This fits with our Positive Ageing Strategy and Covid recovery objectives. Please keep an eye out on SWDC’s website and Facebook page for more information.

The Creative Communities Scheme is open for projects taking place within 12 months from 19 March 2021. The Scheme supports and encourages local communities to create and present diverse opportunities for accessing and participating in arts activities. There is approximately $25,000 available for distribution and applications close Friday 26 February 2021.

www.neighboursday.org.nz

LONG TERM PLAN CONSULTATION

We are also seeking community representatives to sit on the assessment group that allocates funding.

SWDC’s Long Term Plan Consultation Document will be released on Monday, 22 February. The Long Term Plan is the Council’s overriding strategic document; annual plans refresh information and provide more detail about the upcoming year’s activities. The two documents should be read alongside each other for a full picture of the Council’s proposed work programme for next year.

COMMUNITY AND YOUTH GRANTS

The Annual Plan Consultation Document 2021/22 will be available on SWDC’s website and in the Wairarapa Midweek on Wednesday, 31 March.

LONGWOOD AND MOROA WATER RACE DISCUSSIONS SWDC provides two stock water races, the Moroa Race near Greytown and the Longwood Race near Featherston, which intake water from the Waiohine and Tauherenikau rivers respectively. The water races have been in existence since circa 1930 (Longwood) and 1890 (Moroa). The original purpose of the water races was for stock watering purposes and drainage. Council has committed to the development of a long-term water race strategy for the Moroa and Longwood Water Race Systems. It is recognised that the changes in owner demographics and farming practices have evolved over time, therefore it’s prudent to test the relevance of the water race assets for users and the wider community.

Applications are open for a further funding round for Council and Community Youth Grants in 2020/21. There is approximately $22,000 remaining for distribution for community grants and $7,000 for youth grants. Grants will be awarded to eligible community organisations which contribute to the community. Applications close Monday 15 March 2021. To access an application form and criteria please go to www.swdc.govt.nz/grants

For more information and to have your say about water races, please see www.swdc.govt.nz and fill in the survey, hard copies will also be posted out to the water race from the SWDC office.

CITIZENS ADVICE BUREAU

Turning 65 – What’s next He ara whakamua - Part 4 WAIRARAPA

Are you at the stage where your garden is too big to handle or do you have four bedrooms and use only one, or is your house an older one, with no double glazing, no heat pump and has stairs and a wooden exterior? If you love your home and have money to spare you can perhaps hire someone to clean your home, do your windows, mow your lawn and tidy up your garden. Otherwise, it may be the time to consider moving on to something more realistic for your age. It is better for you, in the long run, to make a decision while you are clear in your mind what you would like to do, rather than waiting until the decision has to be made for you by family/whanau or health care specialists.

Downsizing

In the present climate house purchasing, whatever size, is not easy. For most of us we need to sell our property before we buy another and then there often 50+ people at the open day and interested in the home we would like to buy and we miss out. You should also be aware that you are looking for a smaller home and a smaller garden with lowmaintenance exterior and an easy-to-heat interior. A real estate agent may be able to help you with what you want but selling/ purchasing your home can sometimes be a difficult process.

Retirement villages

Research shows that most people enjoy a high level of satisfaction when living in a retirement village. If

this is something you are considering, here are a few guidelines. Many of us spend a lifetime building our financial assets so we can enjoy the lifestyle we desire. Moving into a retirement village changes the emphasis – your goal is not to grow your assets but to protect and enhance your lifestyle. In most instances this will mean using some of your assets or capital to achieve that. Villages vary greatly – you will notice different sized villages, from very few units to some with hundreds; possibly different types of units within the same complex; new villages and older villages. You will discover that the community facilities available at each village can also vary, with some offering a wide range of services such as a swimming pool, bowling green, gym, café etc. The way the village is operated can also vary. Factors that influence this include the type of ownership structure, the experience and /or stability of the ownership and the associated philosophy toward village living. You will have your own reasons for considering village living, it may be that you have experienced a health event, you want to

participate in a community lifestyle, or meet new people, or take part in the various social options provided. You need to consider what your needs are now and what they might be in the future. Be careful about making major decisions if you have been recently bereaved. Before you get your heart set on any particular village spend plenty of time studying your options. Examine all the legal and financial arrangements of each of the villages you consider, as they all vary. Take into account certain things like: do you drive now, how will you get into town if you lose your licence? You have good health now but what if you deteriorate, does the village have an attached care facility? Because “buying” into a retirement village is such a complex legal arrangement, you must get specialised advice before “purchasing”. If you involve your key support people and do your research well you should find that once this somewhat worrying time of consideration and purchasing passes you will be happy with your choice and settle into a new lifestyle.

Residential care

You may be at the stage where you feel you cannot

care for yourself properly, or you may have had advice from your doctor or a suggestion from your family that you would be safer and better looked after in residential care. There is no such thing as “the best” care home, as what suits one person doesn’t necessarily suit another. You will need to identify the criteria that are important to you: For some people location is important [so that you can be nearer to people who will visit you, family/ whanau, friends and that you can possibly visit clubs, familiar places etc]. For others it is the size of the home and the type of room that is important [eg more spacious with additional features – which usually attracts additional costs]. Perhaps it’s the other support or levels of care provided onsite [eg dementia care etc]. The most important element, however, in an ideal care home, is the philosophy and delivery of care. Do not underestimate this.

Help with residential care costs

If you need long-term residential care in a rest home you may be able to get a Residential Care Subsidy to help with the cost of your care. It is paid directly to the rest home. To qualify, the value of your assets needs to be under a certain amount, WINZ will look at the income you get and help work out the amount you will need to pay towards the cost of your care.

Asset testing

From July 1, 2020, asset thresholds for Residential Care Subsidy are as follows: $236,336 for a single or widowed person in care $236,336 for a couple with both partners in care $129,423 for a couple

with one partner in care [house and care remain exempt]. Couples can choose to be tested under the $236,336 threshold, but the house and car will not be exempt. Asset thresholds increase on July 1 every year. Visit the Ministry of Health site: www.health.govt.nz and search on “income and asset testing”.

Income testing

A person receiving Residential Care Subsidy is required to contribute income toward the cost of care. This includes NZ Super, pensions and other sources of income. A small amount of income from assets is exempt. Earnings of a partner in paid employment, NZ Disablement pension and 50 per cent of private super schemes are not counted as income.

Pre-paid funeral trusts

Pre-paid funeral expenses up to $10,000 for each partner are not counted as assets by Work and Income. The trust must be a WINZ approved trust. You can check with them on 0800 999 727.

Conclusion

We hope the information in the four-part series setting out retirement options will be of help to you. At Citizen’s Advice Bureau we wish you a long, healthy and happy retirement.

Who’s in our pink bathtub? We can tell you right now that it’s not Goldilocks! Our baths would be too hard for her. Last year we might have mentioned that we have some pink bathtubs. On close inspection we have nine of them. No one knows why they are pink or how long they have been here but they are definitely part of our historical fixtures. Heirlooms really passed on from previous generations of rangers who have gone before us. The baths have a certain patina. Pink on the inside and pale cream on the outside and are made from fibreglass. Functional our baths are. Stylish they are not. So not at all scenic like the famous historical pink terraces of lake Rotomahana! Our baths are perhaps more like an ageing pink Griffins Hundreds &

Thousands biscuit [when they used to be rectangular] but without the lure of hundreds and thousands. Therefore plain, pink and nondescript. That’s our pink baths. And two of Aotearoa’s most threatened species love them! The baths are nearly two metres long, about 60cm wide and quite deep. So deep in fact that rangers who clean them joke that it’s good for your back. The bottoms are completely ﬂat except for the last quarter which dips progressively downwards at a sharp angle like the deep end of a swimming pool. They reside in two quiet brooder rooms because that’s exactly what these baths are – brooders for threatened species.

The pink baths are used exclusively for young shore plover [tūturuatu] chicks and blue duck [whio] ducklings who get raised in captivity. But not all will use the bathtubs. Those that do will typically spend about two weeks to one month there. The deep end is ﬁlled with water for whio so they can learn to swim. Countless birds have passed through them over the years, and our rangers and volunteers must be doing a good job, because we haven’t received one complaint yet. Just 250 tūturuatu and less than 3000 whio exist, and

our pink bathtubs – as unfashionable as they may be – are playing an important role in helping to re-establish these species. Who knew? Perhaps the moral of the story is this: Beauty doesn’t necessitate importance. Until next week, The Pūkaha Rangers.

Enduring Power of Attorney There are two types of Enduring Powers of Attorney. One for personal care and welfare and the other for property (your possessions and assets). Personal Care and Welfare An Enduring Power of Attorney for personal care and welfare can only come into effect if you become mentally incapable. Mentally incapable means the inability to understand the effect of any decisions which may be made relating to a person’s personal care and welfare. An example of this is where a decision is required for a person with Alzheimer’s disease who needs to be placed in care. Under an Enduring Power of Attorney for personal care and welfare only an individual person must be appointed. It is common for this person to be a member of the donor’s family. Property An Enduring Power of Attorney relating to property contains several features. The person giving the Power of Attorney can choose when the Enduring Power of Attorney comes into effect. The options are: • The person giving the Power of Attorney • immediately the document is signed (if a person wishes someone else to manage can decide whether it covers all of his his or her affairs from the date of signing); or her property or just specific assets, • at some specified time in the future; • The person giving the Power of Attorney • or if the person giving the Power of Attorney can decide whether there are particular becomes mentally incapable (“mentally conditions he or she would wish to impose incapable” in relation to property means upon the use of the Power of Attorney, that the person giving the Power of Attorney • The person giving the Power of Attorney cannot manage his or her property affairs). can stipulate whether it is to take effect • In addition an Enduring Power of Attorney for a period of time or for the rest of relating to property has the following further features: his or her life. An Enduring Power of Attorney relating to property can be cancelled or changed at any time provided the person giving the Power of Attorney understands what he or she is doing. If a person becomes sick or is incapacitated as a result of an accident then unless an Enduring Power of Attorney is in place the family and other close relatives cannot make important decisions. To obtain authority to make such decisions in the case of an accident or illness, it is necessary to make an application to the Court for a manager to be appointed to make decisions on financial matters and a welfare guardian on personal matters. Such applications can be expensive, stressful and take time. Any person over 18 or anyone who is married should give consideration to making Enduring Powers of Attorney. An Enduring Power of Attorney operates while the person giving it is alive. This is to be contrasted with a Will which only takes effect upon death. A Will does not come into effect if a person is mentally incapable. Indeed, in that situation the solicitors acting will not be able to divulge the terms of the Will to family members. If you require further information about Enduring Powers of Attorney please contact me.

Learn self-sufficiency to Midweek Musings

Tim

Ne lso

On a YouTube video Sorelle Amore talks about the lessons she learned in 2020. We all know how challenging that past year was, and this was certainly the case for Sorelle, living

n in Iceland, a country she settled in shortly before the global covid-19 pandemic. One of the lessons shared by Amore that really struck home with me

was the need to become a little more self-sufficient. At different stages of the pandemic many of us realised how reliant we are on others to provide for us in just about every area of our lives, from the food we eat to the way in which we entertain ourselves. This was a cause for a sense of both helplessness and panic; what are we going to do if systems break down? The answer is to become more self-sufficient. However, in doing so this doesn’t mean we need to all become Bear Grylls overnight. Instead we can choose to do one thing at a time. Perhaps you could start by learning to grow just one type of food, this could be as simple as potatoes in a bucket. The

Magnus Carlsen of Norway contemplates a move during the 83rd Tata Steel Chess Tournament held last month in the Netherlands. PHOTO/GETTY IMAGES

experience learned will either tell us that we need to change how we go about it if the idea didn’t work, or it could lead to a further project, perhaps leading to a full vegetable garden to provide at least some of your food.

Helping people you don’t know

Today I received an email from a couple wanting to help children at my school. The one condition they have is that their contribution remains anonymous, those helped aren’t to know who their benefactor has been. On the very next email a person was asking for support due to unexpected and challenging situation the family is in. This really was a case of serendipity ... two messages for me from people whose positions in life complement each other. It is great to see people offering support for others without expecting

anything in return. The only benefit is that someone else’s life is just that little bit more manageable; perhaps the support received it just the thing to get another through the tough times towards a more secure future. To be honest, the benefactor does benefit too. What a wonderful feeling know that you can make such a big and positive difference for another person.

How to be wise

Yesterday I attended a course at my school run by Chuck, an expert on literacy for school children. The course was outstanding, with the content being shared with my staff in a way that was both engaging and practical, I believe that everyone who attended now has a greater awareness of how to support children with their reading. From my perspective, I could see how much effort Chuck had put into preparing both the course itself and the supporting material; it was very evident that what was shared with my staff was based on years of acquired knowledge and experience.

- Holly Foster – Brackenridge Bride

During a break in the day I caught up with Chuck. We talked about shared ideas and understandings about education. I am a huge believer in a knowledgebased curriculum; children need to have knowledge upon which to base new learning, essentially prior knowledge. It was reaffirming to hear Chuck then share a quote he once heard, this being: ‘Knowledge multiplied by experience equals wisdom’. I’m not sure who the person was who this quote can be attributed to, but, regardless, I agree with him or her absolutely.

Just five more for a small win

This is an idea shared by author Dan Pink to overcome procrastination or to break through a plateau when the motivation or willpower is waning. Rather than stopping, or even not starting, Dan instead strives to implement what he calls the Just Five More approach. Just Five More is essentially what it says ... doing just five more. An example could be working through endless emails; at the point when you feel like you need to stop,

instead hang in there and do just five more. Perhaps you’re exercising, doing a treadmill run and you want to stop, hold on and do just five more minutes. The Just Five More can be applied in so many ways. All the little bits will add up to big outcomes, as well as boosting motivation, as doing just five more could lead to 10 more, or 15 more. Those times of extra effort can be the root of achieving so much more, even when we feel like we only have a little to give.

Hard work is worth it

Rich Roll has had a podcast that I have listened to since it first began over 10 years ago. The podcast has become very successful over time, consistently near the top of the charts in its category. The focus of the podcast is quite varied, covering sports, business, well-being, among other subjects. When interviewed by Rangan Chattergee on the Feel Better Live More podcast, Roll talks about the amount of preparation that goes into every show he produces. The process isn’t an easy one; there is a lot of pre reading and research about every

guest, ensuring that every episode is a quality one, as well as valuing and respecting the time that each guest gives him. Roll has a belief that there is too much of a life hack mentality and focus from so many people in the current climate, as people look for shortcuts to success. However, in almost all cases, even those that look like quick success, there has been so much work and effort that has led to the outcome. This definitely applies to Roll, who is working just as hard as he always has and, by all accounts, enjoying the life and opportunities that his hard work has given him.

A purpose for the tough times For many, times now are as tough as they have ever been. All around the world people are facing significant challenge as they live very restricted lives due to the pandemic. We are very fortunate in New Zealand to have a lot more freedom than most, but this doesn’t mean that we’re not facing our own challenges. Take, for example, the tourism industry, which had been one of our biggest earners as a country. This industry

has been decimated because we no longer have the visitors we used to have from all around the world. As tough as times are, it would be a stretch to say that anything we are facing would be like those who survived Auschwitz. The conditions that prisoners we exposed to defy belief; they were truly horrific. One person who did survive was the psychiatrist Viktor Frankl. He was able to do so by having a purpose, what he described as something to live for or a ‘concrete assignment’. He gave the example of a scientist who was also a prisoner who had given up hope, but Frankl convinced him that he was the only person who could finish a book he had been writing before he was incarcerated. This scientist was given the concrete assignment he needed, leading to his survival.

Skills are learnt

who, when he was in his early teens, beat the best player in the world, and became the number one player in the world when only 19. Reading this, it’s hard to believe Carlsen was ever a beginner, but, like everyone, there was a time when he started out playing that even someone with my modest skills could have beaten him. It’s important to know when we set out on a journey to learn something new that at the initial stages we will be very awkward, struggling with the very basics. However, we need to step back and know this applies to all novices. There may be some who learn a little faster, maybe because of related skills in another area, but, provided we put in the time and effort, we can all become a lot better at anything we set our minds to. • Tim Nelson is principal of Lakeview School and author of the book Small Steps for a happy and purposeful life.

Technology used for good Comment – Pick ‘n Mix

Graeme Burnard From the ages of 10 to 20 I had two pen friends in the USA. A boy called James from Massachusetts and a girl called Brenda from Ohio. When I was 19 I went to Ohio and stayed with Brenda and her family. I didn’t get on that well with her when I met her and we stopped writing to each other not long after I left. [remember, this is back in the days of letter writing. No email, Facebook, Twitter, computers, texting, faxes. Even overseas phone calls were a luxury]. James and I lost touch after he got married when he was 19. A few weeks ago my wife and I were watching a movie and some of it was set in Virginia, USA. I casually mentioned that I had been there and I proceeded to tell her how I had travelled with Brenda’s family across country to North Carolina to visit her brother at a marine camp. As soon as I had ﬁnished telling the story, Brenda’s address popped into my head, the full address, even

with the post code. Now, this is over 45 years later, so where did that come from? I googled the address and there was a photo of the house that I had stayed in, virtually unchanged. There was a link to click on which gave me the residents of this street so I opened the link and scrolled through the listings to No 2438 and there was the name Phyllis Stewart, aged 92, Democrat. Yep, it even told me who she voted for. What was more extraordinary is that this is Brenda’s mother, still living at the same address. I have written to her inquiring where Brenda is and asking for any contact details. So, could I do the same to ﬁnd James? Well, I didn’t have his address so I just typed his name into Google and up came pages and pages of the same name. I reﬁned the search to Massachusetts and still there were lots of names. I recalled that his parents had retired to Florida. When James and I started writing to each

other at primary school, our mothers started writing to each other too and I remember Ma telling me they had moved. So, maybe James had moved to Florida? Searched again and still too many names to ﬁlter through. I then recalled his wife’s name was Alexis so I searched their names together in Florida. And there they were. Names, address,

ages, Republican [oh dear]. I then went into Facebook with the info I had and I found James very quickly and sent him a message. The following day I received a reply. He was very surprised and delighted to have heard from me. We have kept in regular touch since and are planning a video call to each other in a

couple of weeks. I am telling you all of this because, well… that person who used to be in the White House, you know, tangerine coloured with ﬂoppy hair, the one whose motto was “I’m so great, it’s hard to be humble”. Well, he is a good example of how not to use social media and my story here is a very good example of how to beneﬁt from it.

B-52 Stratofortress from below. PHOTO/SUPPLIED

Air festival hopes for B-52 Organisers’ of Wings over Wairarapa Air Festival 2021 have put plans in motion to bring the US Air Force’s B-52 Stratofortress to this month’s event. In addition to having an extravaganza of aerial action lined up over three days from February 26-28, the air festival is set to showcase high-end readiness, which is a key line of eﬀort for all of the military commands involved, including the Royal New Zealand Air Force, and the US Paciﬁc Air Forces and Air Force Global Strike Command. Wings Over Wairarapa board chairman Bob Francis paid tribute to the US Embassy for its incredible support. The Boeing B-52 Stratofortress is an

American long-range, subsonic, jet-powered strategic bomber, designed and built by Boeing. It has been operated by the USAF since the 1950s. The bomber can carry up to 32,000kg of weapons and has a typical combat range of more than 14,080km without aerial re-fuelling. It is hoped the B-52 will perform a ﬂy past Masterton’s Hood Aerodrome on Saturday, February 27, in the early afternoon. Because of its weight, it is unable to land at the Hood Aerodrome runway and no weapons will be carried on this ﬂight as it enters New Zealand airspace. The B-52’s scheduled participation remains subject to change in the event there are unforeseen

weather conditions, operational requirements or unavoidable circumstances. This year’s three-day air festival gets under way on Friday, February 26, and features over 70 aircraft including vintage, military, New Zealand Defence Force, jets, helicopters, aerobatic displays and skydiving. Wings’ audiences have previously seen aircraft from WWI and WWII, including the world-famous Vintage Aviator aircraft collection owned by Sir Peter Jackson, which includes replicas of some of the earliest aeroplanes and this year will be no diﬀerent. • To learn more about the show visit www. wings.org.nz

STAY IN GOOD HEALTH

WAIRARAPA

Watch out for salty sausages Sausages on the barbie are a great Kiwi summer tradition – but there’s a warning that the salt content could put you at risk of stroke. That’s according to new research commissioned by the Stroke Foundation, which found many supermarket sausages contain very high quantities of salt. “We don’t want to ban the banger,” says Stroke Foundation Health Promotion Manager, Julia Rout. “But the research has shown that an average serving of sausages can contain half your recommended daily salt intake – and we all know how easy it is to load up the plate. The more salt you eat, the more you increase your risk of stroke.” That’s because too much salt can cause high blood pressure – the number one modifiable risk factor for stroke. But over 75% of strokes are preventable and working to reduce the amount of salt in processed foods, like sausages, will help to combat this. According to the World Health Organization, it’s recommended that we only consume a teaspoon of salt a day – and a serving of sausages can contain around half a teaspoon. STAY IN GOOD HEALTH

Stroke Foundation’s top tips for eating less salt: * Eat more whole foods which are naturally low in salt. These generally sit around the perimeter of the supermarket, so try to get most of your groceries from this area rather than the centre where processed foods sit and salt is hidden. * Eat less processed meats and try to add more meat-free meals to your week. Try meat and vegetable kebabs as an alternative to sausages. * Try comparing labels on packaged food. Salt is listed as sodium. A low salt option will have less than 120mg of sodium per 100g of food. * Replace packaged foods with homemade versions then you’ll know exactly what you are eating. * Use herbs, spices and other seasonings instead of salt when cooking. * At mealtimes, aim to fill half of your plate with vegetables.

At the last Relay they gave $24,000 to Wairarapa Cancer Society to help fund support services in Wairarapa. The money is raised through the annual Craig Cooper Memorial Golf Tournament held at Carterton Golf Club and their target is $10,000 to 15,000 each year. The tournament was postponed last year because of covid concerns but it’s being held again this year on Friday, February 19. The tournament is

Cooper lost his long battle with cancer in 2014 and the staff at Property Brokers have established this tournament to honour his memory and to raise funds for the Wairarapa Cancer Society. It is a fun day with prizes, raffles, lots of food and camaraderie. Wairarapa area manager Brent Woodmass said, “It is easy to get behind Relay because cancer touches so many lives. The

Scientists assess dam risk GIANINA SCHWANECKE

gianina.schwanecke@age.co.nz

The massive slip which has dammed the Kaiwhata River between Te Wharau and Homewood remains ﬁrmly in place while water levels continue to rise. It begs the question of what happens when the dam eventually breaks. A team from GNS Science were at the site on Thursday to collect data to answer this question, using a drone, GPS and terrestrial laser scanner to provide detailed hazard information to local authorities. The landslide which caused the dam is believed to have occurred sometime last Saturday afternoon where the base of an existing landslide from a few years ago gave way. The landslide that blocked the river has a volume of 100,000 cubic metres. The team measured the lowest point on the crest of the landslide dam as 15 metres above the original river level. The volume of water in the lake forming behind the dam was estimated to be 600,000 cubic metres yesterday afternoon. It was expected to spill over the top of the dam at some point today if water levels

At the Wairarapa Search and Rescue [SAR] base at Hood Aerodrome in Masterton yesterday, Duncan Styles said he and Myers had been planning on doing the Dusky Track in Fiordland later this year. The route described by National Geographic as one of New Zealand’s toughest gives a good indication of Myers’ experience. “Darren had done lots of tramping in the UK. He’s done six weeks crossing the Pyrenees in France, plenty of major expeditions, and big mountain bike tours in places such as Wales. “In the time he’s been in New

Farmers work on wetlands Grace Prior

Rural

A partnership of Wairarapa farmers has been part of a growing wetland restoration movement to build community resilience against ﬂooding, drought, landslides and water pollution. The work has involved proactively fencing oﬀ stock, planting native plants, and trapping pest animals to restore wetlands and surrounding areas on Hapua farm since 2016. However, restoration work there began more than a decade ago, a Greater Wellington Regional Council spokesperson said. The Hapua partnership has been supported by GWRC’s Healthy Waterways Programme that helps landowners to restore and manage wetlands and waterways on the partnership’s property.

Michael Birch, a project partner, said his main motivation for protecting these wetlands was for the beneﬁt of future generations – to leave his farm in a better state than he found it. He said this belief connected to a progressing mentality among farmers who had been recognising the intrinsic value of wetlands and bush remnants, and their ability to generate value for the farm itself. “It’s not so long ago that wetlands were being drained, and in Wairarapa, we’ve lost about 95 per cent of wetlands,” he said. GWRC environment committee chairwoman Penny Gaylor said reﬂecting our communities’ values on the environment as a fundamental part of

whanau, whakapapa [ancestry] and well-being was important. Gaylor said leaving the land for future generations in a better state than we found it was highly valued. “The reality we are facing in this generation is that the environment has already suffered significant degrading – we have to halt that and recover our natural environment.” Birch said the Wairarapa region needed more resilience for everyone – including hill country farms. He said wetlands were a key component to resilience. “Wetlands are really good at filtering out contaminants, pollutants and fertilisers so excess nutrients can get soaked up. “Wetlands serve to slow water down, which means in times of flood they are absorbing the peak of the

flood – so you can flatten the curve a bit, and you don’t have such a high peak of water flow. At the end of the curve, when the water recedes it does at a slower rate,” Birch said. With the Ruamahanga catchment connecting to a series of farms, Birch said it was vital to acknowledge that everyone downstream would be affected by the work farmers do. “If all our farmers in the region were to think of themselves as connected to the Ruamahanga catchment and to see if they can improve their wetlands to help slow water down, then it could have quite a large difference to our water resilience.” GWRC land management adviser Emma Davison said the Hapua partnership had made great leaps towards protecting wetlands on their farm and have “really nailed how wetlands add more value to their farming system”. “It’s great to see farmers drive this process and seek us out for how to best manage such an important land feature.” Chairwoman of the Wairarapa committee councillor Adrienne Staples agreed there was a changing mindset within the rural

community to recognise the value of wetlands. “Our land management and biodiversity teams work together with landowners to ease the increasing pressure that farmers are under to protect and restore wetlands. The Healthy Waterways Programme provides that support to farmers with restoration plans and advice. “Our hope is to see the number of partnerships between farmers, the community and the council continue to grow – by providing expertise, guidance and ﬁnancial contributions we are fostering invaluable relationships. Wairarapa Moana has been a mecca for environmental opportunities, with the Jobs for Nature initiative also taking place in the area. Jobs for Nature project lead Kereana Sims said the project was about “providing employment for the local community, it’s about the regeneration of our moana wetlands, and it’s also about restoring the mana to the local Maori hapu, iwi community”. Sims said last year GWRC received $3.5 million as a funding boost from the Jobs for Nature fund. Wairarapa Moana is being looked after by our whole community, including our farmers who see the beneﬁt of looking after our wetlands.

“I do what gardening I can,” he says. One regular job for him is going out and spraying the plants with a concoction to help them flower and grow more fruit. Gardening is in Barry’s blood – his father was a market gardener in Manawatu and passed his knowledge on to his kids.

Kandahar Home resident Barry Jepsen working away in the garden.

“He taught us a lot, including not to grow anything unless you can eat it,” Barry says. He is an avid fan of fruit and would love to see more fruit trees planted on the grounds of Kandahar Home, he says. Over summer, staff and residents harvested plums off an existing plum tree at the home and made plum jam. Kandahar Home recreation officer Di McCuish says Barry’s efforts have helped them to create a ‘garden to table’ experience over summer. “We have been busy in our recreation kitchen cooking the produce from our garden for all to enjoy.”

As well as plum jam, staff and residents have made lemon cordial, zucchini quiche and enjoyed snacking on strawberries. Di says a big hit was the potatoes grown in buckets by residents that were then dug up and cooked with mint and served up with butter. Kandahar Home and Village and sister site, Kandahar Court, are both located in Lansdowne, Masterton. To find out more about the homes and the eldercentred Enliven philosophy, visit www. enlivencentral.org.nz. You can also call the homes directly on 06 370 0447 (Kandahar Home) or 06 370 0449 (Kandahar Court).
