From Masterton to China A Wairarapa teacher’s next adventure awaits Erin Kavanagh-Hall While teaching in Wairarapa, Myra Coley has been passionate about opening her students’ eyes to the wider world. Now, the veteran educator and keen traveller is heading off on her own international adventure – following a fellow Masterton teacher to a new post in China. After a heartfelt farewell from students and staff, Coley stepped down as deputy principal at Makoura College at the end of Term 2. Next month, she and her young family will head to China, where she has secured a teaching job at Rong Qiao Sedbergh School, an international school for junior and secondary pupils, in the Fujian Province, south of Beijing. During her three-year contract with the school, her family will be based in Fuzhou, one of China’s new cities – vast, sprawling, futuristic hubs, designed to urbanise country and stimulate economic growth. Coley will be the second New Zealander to join Rong Qiao Sedbergh’s multicultural team – the first being Campbell Maunder, former deputy

The council now has a new chief executive, Harry Wilson, who Harwood feels is saying all the right things. Napier has confirmed she will be seeking a further term. Harwood said he does not feel remorseful for resigning. “I struggled feeling I wasn’t listened to in the council,” he said. “It took a toll on me to

Coley says local teens are ‘world changers’ Continued from page 1 principal at Masterton Intermediate School, now head of the international school’s junior syndicate. Coley has taught in Masterton for 11 years, working her way up to a variety of senior management roles, first at Chanel College and then down the road at Makoura, where she started in 2017. Under her leadership, her students were able to form close bonds with the international community – as she supervised the overseas student exchange programme at Chanel, helped Makoura acquire a Japanese sister school, and organised a volunteer trip to Samoa, and various fundraising drives, for senior Makoura pupils, staff and whanau. Given her passion for international education, the China job seemed like the perfect opportunity to broaden her own horizons “It’s been very special working at Makoura – but this opportunity was too good to turn down. “We’re very excited to immerse ourselves in another culture for the next few years.” Coley, originally from

After a stint teaching in Australia, she settled in Masterton, where her husband Adam grew up, and started teaching Year 7 and 8 classes at Chanel, becoming junior school dean and, eventually, assistant principal.

She went back to work at Makoura two weeks after her youngest was born. “I don’t think people appreciate what goes on behind the scenes when you’re a secondary teacher,” Coley said. “[Working with teenagers] you see a lot of heartbreak; you’re helping them navigate some tough stuff.

Makoura College principal Paul Green said Coley “truly embodied the values of our school”. “Myra has been tremendously dedicated to our students – encouraging them to become more aware of what they can achieve. “She has always had high expectations and made it clear to our students that they should aspire to broaden their horizons and seek fulfilment [beyond their comfort zone]. “She will be very much missed by our school community.”

Youths tackle the tough issues Emily Ireland A group of Wairarapa youths are using the performing arts to tackle the hard issues that go hand-in-hand with growing up. “I hate these jeans … I hate my hair … I hate my face … I’m so huge.” Voices of the young actors bounced off the walls of a simple set in the opening scene at Masterton’s Harlequin Theatre as they rehearsed last week. The play is called Hoodie, and the young actors are preparing it for the annual TheatreFest competition. Hoodie is a vignette play – a collection of short scenes – written by Lindsay Price. Together, the 17 scenes pose the question most young people are faced with: “Do I stay in the clump, or do I stand alone?”. Director Linda Voice said the themes in the play connect with people of all ages and that people would likely identify strongly with one or more of the characters – “all the problems are relevant and transcend the

They will also be performing Hoodie this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at Harlequin Theatre. July 19 and 20 shows will begin at 7pm, and the July 21 show will begin at 2pm. Tickets are available at www.iticket.co.nz.

‘Lemon land’ making a return to the market Steve Rendle Work is underway to “extinguish” easements on Featherston’s most famous vacant lot and put the land back on the market. The site at 57 Fitzherbert St has been at the centre of community unrest since a deal with developer Marcus Darley fell through in April last year. Issues with parking and loading zone requirements were his concerns, but in February last year it came to light that telecommunications provider Chorus had a six-metre-wide easement over a fibre optic cable

duct running across the site. Chorus needed access to its cables and the easement would have limited building above it. South Wairarapa District Council has now negotiated with Chorus to reduce the easement to about two metres. It is also acting to completely remove two easements relating to a nowredundant access way, and a separate sewerage connection. The access way is the last impediment to a sale. “The affected party has given consent for the easement to be extinguished, which is yet

to take place,” the council said. “Once this takes place, the section will be ready to put on the market.” The council believed the work on easements would lead to higher price for the land, but price would not necessarily be the determining factor in who bought it. Featherston Community Board chair Robyn Ramsden said feedback from the community showed people wanted shops on the site that would lead to employment opportunities. “It’s great progress,” she said.

“We haven’t had progress like this for years.” Ramsden is on the 57 Fitzherbert St subcommittee of the council with three Featherston Ward councillors. “Tenders will be initially evaluated and ranked on non-financial considerations,” the council said. “This ranking will then be compared with the prices offered. “The highest financial offer will not necessarily be accepted. “The successful tender [if any] will be that which provides the best

value proposition for the district.” The council said the property would be marketed by Bayleys Real Estate. The site has not yet been listed, and no date for the sale has been set. It will be sold using an open tender process. Among non-financial considerations agreed by the 57 Fitzherbert St subcommittee in May was that preference would be given to tenders that “have a proposed use that will be complementary to existing activities, and/or will provide a valuable community service and/or will

provide local employment opportunities and/or cultural facility”. Preference would be given to tenders that were from local businesses, residents, groups, or iwi within the Wairarapa district. Funds from the sale of the Featherston vacant land would be held in the district’s property reserve and ring-fenced for a significant project or projects within the Featherston ward boundary, with the Featherston Community Board invited to recommend to council initiatives that could be funded from this source.

CRAZY DEALS AND SPOT PRIZES IN STORE DAILY!

A charter bus carrying 41 teenagers crashed into an Eketahuna lifestyle block, 10 had to be taken to hospital. PHOTO/ROBYN ANGUS

41 teens escape serious injury Eli Hill One Eketahuna couple had a “crazy start to the weekend” when a bus carrying 41 teenagers ploughed into a paddock on their lifestyle block. Three ambulances were called to the crash approximately 2.5 kilometres north of Eketahuna just before 7am on Saturday. Eight people with minor injuries and two with moderate injuries were taken to Wairarapa Hospital’s Emergency Department; all were checked up and able to leave the same day. One teen from the crash arrived at ED later in the day and was treated before being discharged. Robyn Angus, whose paddock the bus crashed into, said she and husband Dave had heard the siren

go off at Eketahuna’s fire station but had thought nothing of it. “I was lying in bed and got a text from my neighbour asking if I knew what was in my paddock. I thought, oh no, not another car.” “I threw on my gumboots and a dressing gown, went down to the paddock and there’s this bus.” Angus said that by the time the couple had arrived at the crash, firefighters, ambulance staff, and police had already been on scene. Angus was told there were 41 teenagers on board, and they had been coming back from a gathering or function in Auckland. “Our property is on a rise in the highway, and the road kind of veers to

the left. “The bus driver’s gone straight through our property and 100 – 200 metres into the paddock. “How they got through the first creek in the roadside I don’t know. “The bus took our fence with it through the paddock and it stopped 30 centimetres from the next creek in our property. “If it had gone in there, it might’ve rolled.” Crashes happened on the stretch of road “too often” Angus said. Tranzit Group managing director Paul Snelgrove said they were aware of the incident. “At the time, the NZ Police and our operations manager were at the scene. “We continue to do everything possible to support our driver and the passengers involved.”

Eketahuna ambulance service ‘under review’ Eli Hill

Members of the Eketahuna community fear their town could be left without its own ambulance as St John looks to review its service there later this year. A Facebook post on the Eketahuna Community Group, calling for people to support the ambulance, received 47 comments, with many people detailing how the service had helped them. The St John service review was also discussed at a meeting of the Eketahuna Our Town Committee last Thursday night. There were fears that a service from Pahiatua, or elsewhere in the Tararua District, would take too long to reach Eketahuna.

In a statement St John territory manager Paul Haigh said later this year St John would be reviewing the needs of the region as part of St John’s service delivery model. “We will work with the local community and our people on the ground to find the best approach for the area. “As with other regions throughout the country, the Eketahuna community is supported by surrounding ambulance stations which operate as a network.” Eketahuna is currently a volunteer First Response ambulance station which means that volunteers respond, assess and treat patients, and may transport locally or to meet a helicopter or

transporting ambulance. Haigh asked any Eketahuna residents interested in volunteering to visit join.stjohn.org. nz or contact John Ray at john.ray@stjohn.org.nz. This is not the first time Eketahuna’s ambulance service has been under threat. In 2016, the TimesAge reported that an earthquake risk to the ambulance bay and the town facing low volunteer interest could potentially close the service. St John had previously confirmed that they would be taking a “keen interest in exploring options for Eketahuna’s emergency service” after its ambulance bay was deemed earthquake-prone in 2015.

Project celerates poetry gems Emily Ireland Words have been brought to life in Masterton’s central business district, thanks to an ambitious outdoor poetry project. It’s not the ﬁrst time Masterton’s Chris Daniell has rolled out the campaign. She started the project last year, putting up 12 poems on the walls throughout the CBD, using her own money. This time around, she’s had help from Masterton District Council via a $2000 arts grant, installing another 16 poems. “The aim is to make people love words and ideas,” she said. “The best possible reaction the other day was someone saying they loved seeing the poems – it makes you think and smile.” Straight after two new poems were placed outside Paper Plus last week, a family with four young children stopped to read them as they walked past. “That’s exactly what I want to happen. I want it to be enjoyed by kids and adults.” But the beneﬁts aren’t just reserved for those who view them. “I also want people to be proud that they are contributing and making

It took six months to select the right mix of poems, design and digitise them, and install them. “This project has taken hundreds and hundreds of hours. It’s more than I ever anticipated.” Making the ﬁnal cut were a mix of poems, written by young and old and touching on all sorts of

subject matter. “The poems are about anything. “Not only academic and profound poems, but also quirky, simple, funny, and challenging poems so that many people’s tastes can be catered for. “I really want people to ponder or smile.” One poem, placed at

the back of the Masterton library, is written by 11-year-old Annelise Percy – “she comes to the library all the time”. Another is written by seven-year-old Victor McGrath. His poem ‘Boys Only at the Beach’ is at the Kids Own Playground. “I was born to be wild –

but only until 9pm, then I go and snuggle in my beach bunk,” he wrote. Daniell said the project’s feedback had been amazing “A women’s biking group asked me to walk them around the poems after the ﬁrst round. “It was wonderful – I could explain what I was doing and why, and I could give them feedback about the poems, the writer, why it was chosen. “There are all sorts of stories behind these poems and the poet’s feelings.” She will be taking another Outdoor Poems tour for Wairarapa Word in November. Daniell said she was grateful for people’s support not only in funding but also in placing the poems. Special thanks went to Jan and Helen McLaren for their technical help in designing the ﬁnal product, and Visual Industrie, a Featherston-based company that translated the design onto the posters. • Anyone interested in submitting their own poems or placing one on their property can get in touch with Daniell on chrisdaniellnz@gmail. com.

Ten kilometres further north is Tirau. Its only apparent purpose is to be the junction where one could turn oﬀ to Rotorua or Matamata. Back in the seventies it sported a general store, post oﬃce, bank, chemist, bakery, and butcher’s shop. The restructuring of New Zealand’s economy and society arrived in the eighties. Centralisation and urbanisation started to slowly throttle Tirau. It was a town sliding into decline. The BNZ branch closed, as did a

From there the corrugated iron motif took off and Tirau now touts itself as “The Corrugated Iron Capital Of The World”. Ugly? Possibly. Tacky? Possibly. Successful? Definitely. Could the world’s first rainbow clock tower have a similar impact?

Despite the sheep’s obvious success, there was reluctance. The locals had envisaged genteel, olde worlde antique shops not brash, crass populism. However, the need for public toilets created an opportunity. The locals asked John and Nancy if part of their

kitset barn in the middle of town. Realising that a barn wasn’t going to catch the eye or pull in the punters, they added a twist. They would turn their boring shapeless barn into a massive, white, eyecatching sheep. Constructing the sheep’s head was no easy task. Nancy had already opened the shop, taking a measly $300 a month. The day the head was ﬁnished the punters arrived in droves and it immediately became a

Keep Growing Healthy Vegetables Through Winter

MOON CALENDAR NEW MOON - July 3 FULL MOON - July 17

To some the winter season is where the gardening tools get hung up and we retreat inside to enjoy the warmth. But for many they would prefer to keep gardening year round – gardening is great food for the soul and lots of healthy food can be grown throughout winter.

CONTAINER VEGETABLE GROWING Gardens are getting smaller as more houses are being built, so container gardening could be the option for many all year round. Luckily there are more and more varieties of plants available now that are suitable for smaller areas. There are lots of vegetables that suit pots such as:

Is this sight all too familiar these holidays? Why not encourage them to grow some vegetables in containers – you’ll be teaching them essential skills for life.

JULY 15 – 19 The next few days are the full moon period, and the effects of that on sprouting seeds and young plants is strong. So don’t sow or plant anything – just stay inside and keep warm. JULY 20 – 21 Sow any seed root crops that suit the season and only if soil conditions allow.

Baby Beets: These can be sown year round and the colourful leaves can be added to salads. Pak Choi: Also have shallow roots so don’t need much room & germinate quickly. Spinach: Filled with vitamins & nutrients. It’s fast & easy to grow. Silverbeet: Another nutrient filled choice that can be picked a few leaves at a time and will regrow from the base. Rocket: Quick growing healthy addition for salads.

LETTUCE IN POTS

HOW TO PLANT

RADISHES ARE FAST, REWARDING AND TASTY.

Choose containers depending on how big they grow and how deep the roots go. Half fill the containers with a quality mix (gives them the best start) such as Tui Vegetable Mix and then gently loosen the root ball and position carefully. Fill the rest of the containers up with the Tui Vegetable Mix and tap to gently settle. Water them in well taking care not to use a forceful jet.

It’s easy to get tired of starchy root vegetables throughout the winter months so a crunchy salad feels like a real treat. Cos lettuce varieties are hardy types that do ‘heart up’ but you can also pick the baby leaves. These do very well planted in individual pots, water with warm water with liquid fertiliser diluted down. For the best ‘crunch’ take them outdoors during the days but bring them back under cover at night for a week or two before eating them. There are also many other varieties of loose leaf lettuces which are suitable as well.

Vegepods are a perfect solution to contained gardening

DELICIOUS STRAWBERRIES!

FEEDING As they grow they use nutrients which will need to be replaced. You need to be careful feeding any plants in containers as roots can burn easily. Liquid fertilisers are a great choice – ican Fast Food is one option but there are more in store.

Strawberries are another good option that are perfect for growing in containers. Simply fill with Tui Strawberry Mix, feed with a Yates Liquid Thrive for Strawberries and when the time comes that the birds are competing for fruit cover with bird netting. Delicious!

Helping kids with dyslexia

Carterton

Emily Ireland While Wairarapa schoolkids were getting ready to enjoy the start of their Term 2 school holidays, dozens of teachers and school leaders were being equipped with tools to help maximise the learning potential of children with dyslexia. The teachers, from primary and secondary schools across Wairarapa packed into the Carterton Events Centre auditorium on July 4 for a full day workshop led by Carla McNeil of Learning Matters. Based in Te Awamutu, McNeil is an experienced and respected past principal, mathematics advisor, classroom teacher and parent of a dyslexic teenager. Dyslexia is a languagebased learning disability and the term refers to a cluster of symptoms, which result in people having diﬃculties with language skills and reading in particular. Up to 20 per cent of people have some symptoms of dyslexia, including slow or inaccurate reading, poor spelling, poor writing, or mixing up words. McNeil’s workshop was funded largely by Carterton Rotary, and also by South Wairarapa and Masterton

Rotary, meaning teachers could attend free of charge. Carterton Rotary president Alan Butler said the workshop ﬁtted in nicely with Rotary’s focus on education and literacy. “This opportunity to support the programme came our way, and I thought, this is a nobrainer,” he said. McNeil said change was in the air for dyslexic children across the country “with both the Government and Ministry of Education making good inroads to support both teachers and families more so in this area”. Key messages from the day included the need

Rotarian Deirdre O’Flynn said volunteers put the whole event together, and the payback was that “people love the event”. All the money raised goes straight back into the community, with an emphasis on kids. Each year, the Rotary club provides Year Four children in the Carterton district with a dictionary, which some of the funds raised from the book sale would go towards. People have told O’Flynn that she should put the prices up, but she holds to the view that the event is “giving to the community as well as making money”.

The low prices allow those who have little to get some new gems while those who are able are often generous to the cause, she said.

Nearly 10,000 books were collected in preparation for the Rotary Club of Carterton Monster Annual Book Fair which took place on the weekend at the Carterton Events Centre. All books were $1 or 50 cents for kids, and on Sunday, book lovers could stuﬀ their bag full for $5. Volunteers spent all day Friday unpacking and sorting through thousands of books. Young adults from Carterton Baptist Church gave a hand unloading boxes in the morning on Friday and Kuranui Hockey First XI oﬀered to help pack up after the event.

leaders that attended. “The more knowledge teachers have, the more confident they will feel in meeting the needs of all learners,” she said. “If children are frustrated in their learning, they quickly lose their confidence, and if they lack confidence, they’re not going to be fully engaged in the curriculum. “We have to match how kids learn with how we teach, not the other way around.” Amanda Taylor from RTLB said learning to read was a “fundamental life skill”. “We need to equip our teachers to support kids

for early identification of dyslexia, and appropriate intervention for dyslexic learners. “All children have the right to become literate and numerate,” McNeil said. “Dyslexia is a life-long condition and there are no commercially produced programmes that can replace a knowledgeable and effective teacher.” The venue hire for the event was funded by Resource Teachers: Learning and Behaviour (RTLB). RTLB Remutaka Cluster manager Carolyn Silverwood said the workshop was beneficial to all schoolteachers and

with different needs, and the earlier, the better. “It’s really important. These are not skills you get when you train to become a teacher.” According to the International Dyslexia Association (IDA), the impact that dyslexia has is different for each person and many need one-onone help so they can move forward at their own pace. “Schools can implement academic accommodations and modifications to help students with dyslexia succeed. “For example, a student with dyslexia can be given extra time to complete tasks, help with taking notes, and work assignments that are modified appropriately.” McNeil expressed her sincere thanks to all attendees, the RTLB group of organisers, and Rotary for enabling the event to happen. “To have such a large group of dedicated and passionate teachers in one room for the day to consider how they can make a bigger difference was heart-warming, to say the least. “What a lucky community. “I look forward to coming back in the near future and continuing the conversations and learning.”

Playwright and fiction writer Lilla Csorgo will discuss her recent novel ‘The Janus Affair’ which award-winning writer Joan Barfoot calls “wonderfully, witty, crisp and clever” Csorgo’s plays have been produced in New York, Toronto, Budapest, and Wellington.

Toys are important Next week, the Masterton Toy Library will be celebrating 40 years of service – 40 years ensuring local kids have access to toys for a fraction of the price of buying new ones. I remember growing up I could cover my entire bedroom floor with toys. I had Lego, soft toys, dolls (and accessories of course), and would build entire cities from my bedroom doorway, spilling onto my bed – much to my mum’s dismay probably. Some of my toys were new and had been accumulated over a decade, others were hand-medowns or from op shops, and all were special to me. They helped me create tangible worlds of my own – limited only by my imagination. They helped me understand life by questioning and imitating the world around me. Experts say that physical, emotional, and mental capacity are all a direct correlation of the environment a child grows in, especially the types of toys used during the child

CUTIES OF THE WEEK

Emily Ireland development stages. Toys are very important. Unfortunately, they can also be expensive. And when you have a child that loses interest in their current toys every couple of weeks, keeping them entertained without just throwing a device their way can be a huge challenge. That’s where toy libraries come in. The Masterton Toy Library started in 1979. It started small, and near the beginning of its life, it was on the first floor of the Empire Hotel. It moved at some point to a building in Dixon St which was shared by other community groups, but space was limited. About 13 years ago, the Masterton Toy Library moved into the YMCA building, where it remains today. On Wednesday, July 24,

they will be celebrating 40 years of service with an open evening at 7pm at the Masterton Toy Library for all past, present, and future members. The toy library caters for schools, preschools, homebased caregivers, as well as parents and grandparents so the open evening will be an opportunity to view the facilities and get a membership that suits your needs. There will also be a free membership given away on the night. The Masterton Toy Library is one of the biggest in New Zealand and this is thanks to some very generous support of local businesses, community trusts, and the dedication of volunteers who believe in the importance of children’s play. If you support their work, head along and let them know.

Reducing speed not the only safety measure I note the reported comment (Midweek July 3) by Carterton Mayor John Booth that said “the only way we can make it (the Norfolk Rd/Cornwall Rd intersection) safer is to reduce the speed to give people more time”. It is not the only way – a roundabout would be the most eﬀective way of making the road safer.

PHOTO/FILE

Observe how well the roundabout at the northern end of Carterton works.

I have driven extensively in France and almost every village has roundabouts entering and exiting

which is not only safe but provides the opportunity for an attractive display showcasing the village (watch the Tour de France on TV next week to see what I mean). In turn this would enable the removal of the eyesore at Waingawa bridge entering Masterton. Bruce McCallum Carterton

The saw ‘saw’ the forest

Entering the social history gallery at Aratoi today is entering a forest. Eight large paintings will surround you, as if you’re standing in the vast forest that once stood from just north of present-day Masterton to just north of Dannevirke. Artist Kerrie Hughes has recreated what her ancestors saw in the 1870s. “The work depicts the arrival of the Scandinavians. “I imagine them as Vikings sailing the oceans to conquer the Forty Mile Bush in the New World. “When researching for photos of the forest, I realised that it was gone. They had conquered it.” Today, all that remains of the Te Tapere nui o Whatonga – Whatonga’s domain – is a shadowy dark green remnant across the top of Pukaha, a

sanctuary to trees and birds alike. Sawmilling was big business in 19th century Wairarapa. In 1885, there were 17 mills in the area, producing millions of feet of timber every year. By 1904, there were 30 mills, producing 16,306,106 feet and employing 416 men.

By the 1920s, the supply of native timber was exhausted, and the number of mills dwindled. Aratoi has two massive saws on display as part of a joint exhibition with Wairarapa Archive. Open daily, 10am-4pm, free entry. • Collection of Aratoi Wairarapa Museum of Art and History.

A renewable resource more available than you think Geoscientist Cécile Massiot will visit Masterton next week to talk about geothermal energy. She said, “Last year, geothermal energy supplied 18 per cent of New Zealand’s total electricity”. “It’s a wonderful resource, independent of weather conditions and with low CO2 emissions. “We need to use it more.” Dr Massiot is part of a multi-disciplinary team of researchers at GNS Science in Lower Hutt working to identify geothermal resources and how to use them sustainably. “Part of my role is to track the myriads of underground rock fractures and identify which ones serve as pathways for hot fluids,” she said. She will discuss opportunities for geothermal heat and electricity generation in the North Island volcanic region and elsewhere. Dr Massiot sees exciting

prospects for the near future. “Our work will help New Zealand achieve the target of 100 per cent renewable electricity by 2035 and a Net-Zero Emissions Economy by 2050.” Dr Massiot specialises in how underground cracks form networks and conduct fluids.

She studies geologically active systems all along the tectonic plate boundary that runs through New Zealand, from the Kermadec Arc to the Alpine Fault in the South Island via the central North Island. Before coming to New Zealand, she was involved in an Icelandic geothermal drilling project aiming to explore the roots of the geothermal resource, but which intersected an unsuspected shallow magma body. “That was so exciting, and it stimulated my interest in drilling for scientific exploration.” Dr Massiot will present her talk, ‘Geothermal: a renewable resource for current and future generation’ to a meeting of Science Wairarapa at 7.30 pm on Monday July 22 at the Education Centre, 22 Dixon St, Masterton. All are welcome; a door charge of $4 will apply.

A HOME FOR A PET Hi, I’m Pirate, an English Bull Terrier cross about 1 year old. I am looking for my forever home. The lovely people in the Animal Services Team have been hanging out with me and taking me home to play with their fur babies, I am very well socialised. What I’d really like is for somebody to take me home for good, because I’m great company and love everybody. I really enjoy playing with other dogs and I’m happy to be number 2. If am to be the only dog I would dearly love to be able to be with you a lot of the time. I am happy to be in a crate for sleeping and time out and I am good at letting you know when I want to go outside. Could you be my new family?

Success story – Myrtle I am a wild cat, I was trapped on Murphy’s Line in Featherston, put in a portable prison and taken away from the only life I knew. It was scary. When I was 12 new moons old, I was given a human. I wasn’t sure that I wanted a human, so until the next new moon I hid behind a big chair and under the bed, hissing and spitting, not because I was scared, you understand, but because humans need to know their place. My human put food out for me, so when the moon was high in the sky, I savoured it and went exploring. I learned a lot. The first big thing I learnt was that exploring the toilet seat, before your coordination skills are fully developed, ends badly – very, very badly. But I had fun and grew more confident. I started letting the human pat me through the fluffy bed thing with her feet, not because I liked it you understand, but because it made my human happy. I was given my own little door to explore outside. My human said words like cute, beautiful and love. I didn’t understand them, but I liked the way her voice sounded when she said them. Myrtle was the word she said the most. And when I looked at her when she said it, it made my human happy, so Myrtle is the word I understand the most. When I had had my human for four new moons, she said, “Myrtle I am going to pat you now”. I didn’t know what that meant either, but my human had never hurt me, so I just stood there and waited, and purred, not because I enjoyed it you understand, but because

it made my human very, very happy. That was the day I decided to call my human “Mum”. Now when Mum pats me, and I don’t feel that she has had enough happiness, I follow her around the house meowing loudly, until she agrees to have more happiness, not because I enjoy it, you understand. I think that I will let her live with me for a very long time. So, when the sky has a certain light, I wait on the back porch for Mum to come home so that I can give her happiness. My name is Myrtle, I was taken from Murphy’s Line, transported to a place of safety, patience and love, to the best life I have ever known. • KittyCat Rehoming Wairarapa is a registered Charitable Trust CC54963. • Their mission is to rescue and tame feral kittens and adopt them into loving homes. • KRW also supports a colony of feral cats at Wairarapa Hospital.

We’ve got you sorted at the annual Manawatu Home & Lifestyle Show, returning to the Central Energy Trust Arena this July. With over 280 companies involved, this is a show not to be missed. Whatever stage you are at, the Manawatu Home & Lifestyle Show is your event of the year. With experts on site to discuss your individual needs the show eliminates the need to spend weeks, or even months, running around town, trawling through websites and making phone calls. Speak direct to the people you need to, book quotes, look at house designs, ask questions, feel fabrics, compare prices, take home samples and be inspired with new ideas. Many exhibitors have special show-only discounts and some can only be seen at this show so you can’t afford to miss out.

UNIQUE SHOPPING TO BE FOUND AT HOME SHOW! A popular part of the Home Show is the unique shopping available from homewares to artisan crafts, gourmet food and even electric bikes. The Taste Zone will be a popular area of the show where you can sample an array of gourmet food and beverages. With artisan breads, limoncello, beer, gourmet meat, liqueurs, teas and much more, you can try samples and purchase the things you love to enjoy at home. The popular Artisan Craft Zone showcases artisan crafters from all over New Zealand with gorgeous original products often not found in shops including original art, home decor, soaps & beauty products, garden art, wine racks and more. At Large Audio will exhibit for the first time with their upcycled portable speaker suitcases. The team behind At Large Audio were often so disappointed with the sound quality and volume range of portable speakers they took on their adventures they decided to create their own. Using vintage suitcases and second-hand speakers with new batteries and componentry, these fabulous portable speaker ranges, with a retro twist, let you listen to music as it was intended with a professional sound quality - not tethered to a plug and not restricted to low volume.

CREATE YOUR IDEAL HOME IN ONE GREAT WEEKEND You’ll find everything under one roof at this year’s Manawatu Home & Lifestyle show, featuring the latest in home renovation, kitchens and bathrooms, bedrooms, gardens, fixtures and fittings, appliances, home décor and gourmet food. Harvey Norman will be showcasing the very latest Belling product range featuring their brand new colour range with exclusive show specials lower than any price ever offered in store! If you’re looking at flooring you will be spoilt for choice from retailers including The Carpet Barn, Harrisons Carpet, Midway Flooring Xtra, Carpet Court and more. Talk to the experts, get quotes and samples, and take advantage of special show prices. Manawatu Sound Hub, Palmerston North’s premier home and automotive audio experts, will be showing for the first time. From Hi-Fi & home theatre systems, personal audio, plus car audio installation, the team from Manawatu Sound Hub can make anything happen! If you are looking for the perfect finishing touch for your home then why not look at a spa pool? There will be a range of models at the show this year covering everything from your basic models to the latest in spa pool technology, including lighting and sound features. Spa pool sales have been on the rise with people increasingly seeing them as a household item to aid health, wellbeing and quality family time.

Meeting the snake bearer We are going to find the snake bearer and his snake, but you might not want to bother tonight as a full moon will wash most stars out. Best wait until later in the week, Saturday and onwards. Finding the serpent man, the constellation of Ophiuchus, would be difficult if it wasn’t for the presence of some good markers. About 7.30pm, you cannot miss Jupiter, almost overhead in the north-east. It is after all the brightest thing in the sky until that darn moon rises later. Slightly higher in the sky towards the east you can’t be off seeing the red star Antares, in the neck of the scorpion, and flowing south is the scorpion’s curly tail. Extending a little towards the north, the Scorpion’s head always looks like a crossbow to me. Go back to Jupiter and from there Ophiuchus winds north towards the square body of Hercules, sitting right on the northern horizon. The snake (constellation of Serpens) is due north at this time, about a thirdway up the sky.

their movement without instruments. But Barnard’s star exhibits the most movement, mainly because it is relatively near. At six light years it is the second nearest star system to us after Alpha Centauri. But where Alpha Centauri is quite brilliant in our sky (almost overhead in the southern half of the sky), Barnard’s is a tiddler, a red dwarf, and you would need a nice scope to see it, at least as big as my 130mm reflector. Ophiuchus also contains a supernova remnant – in his foot. The outburst of the supernova was recorded in 1604 by astronomer Johannes Kepler and later used by Galileo to trounce the notion that apart from the movements of sun, moon and planets, the heavens never change. Supernovae represent the death of giant stars. The Kepler supernova remnant is 20,000 light years away, but when it exploded in 1604 it was bright enough to see in daylight. In reality of course, it exploded 20,000 years before 1604, its light taking that time to reach us. Next week: The southern triangles.

Volunteer for Red Cross I started as the Volunteering Wairarapa administrator in March and will be writing this column for the next few months. Our manager Jill Greathead will be standing as a Carterton council candidate at the Council elections. The Wairarapa Midweek is keen to ensure that all candidates have a fair go, so Jill will take a break from writing this column and resume again in October. Here at Volunteering Wairarapa, we support the volunteering needs from small local groups to international giants like the Red Cross who have a local presence in our community. The Red Cross is wellknown for providing national and international disaster relief, but they also run many different programmes in our communities. This ranges from First Aid Courses to Meals on Wheels, and from providing water and sunscreen at community events, to supporting refugees connect into our communities. Most of these local programmes and groups run on volunteer power, and like all community

Until recently, Red Cross Wairarapa has been led by Gillian Morgan, who has served as Area Council chair since 2016. After nine years volunteering with the Red Cross, she is moving to Nelson.

If you would like to join Red Cross at a local level, please get in touch with us.

New Zealand Red Cross is split into many areas, each of which is governed by volunteers for their own Area Council. The Wairarapa branch is looking for Area Council members. Council members serve a three-year term and

represent the area at a national level. They are also responsible for representing the National Board locally and ensuring that Red Cross principles are followed by their local groups. Wairarapa is one of the smaller Red Cross areas in New Zealand, but they’ve still got plenty to do. They are on the committee of the National Youth Forum, and they have a strong focus on new migrants and former refugees.

Art removes the stigma MARINA LIRA recently moved from Brazil to Featherston, giving her a fresh outlook on what Wairarapa has to offer. Join her as she shares her experiences navigating her new community. Through my eyes

Marina Lira Removing the stigma of mental illness and creating an inclusive environment is what King Street Artworks is all about. For the past 22 years, the Masterton-based organisation has been an award-winning mental health service for the community. Through art, they help people develop creativity, self-esteem, independence, and motivation. Centre manager Ian Chapman said the opendoor policy means people from all walks of life can have the opportunity to heal through art. “We are not clinicians – people do not need a referral to come here,” he said.

ANNIVERSARY

MASTERTON PLUNKET

BRIDE OF THE YEAR

“The only label used at King Street Artworks is ‘artist’. “People look after their mental health and wellbeing by coming into King Street Artworks, connecting and creating with people”. The visual arts such as painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramics, and crafts are some of the activities that you can start doing there. There are also quizzes on Tuesdays and choir on Tuesday evenings. A team is ready to support all individuals that want to develop art or just want to have a good time with nice company. During the week, three tutors with different skills are on board to share their talents and help people

– it’s very supportive and encouraging for the newbies that come to the door. Although King Street Artworks is part-funded by the Wairarapa District Health Board, the organisation still needs to apply for new grants and funds that enhance all the work they offer the community. Masterton District Council is one of their providers and has been

supporting the centre since the beginning. In the past two years $16,000 has been used on the financial administration side of the centre. With the support of grants and funds it is possible to assist 35 to 60 people a day using their workshop, six days a week. The council funding has directly contributed to the mental health and well-

being of the community by supporting King Street Artworks to carry out their vision and achieve their goal of being a model of early intervention of mental health and selfdirected recovery. Chapman said King Street Artworks was thankful for all the support they have had through the years from Masterton District Council. He said they also appreciate the people who helped keep King Street Artworks viable by donating funds, materials, and equipment. “We know the community do care about mental health wellbeing and want to support as much as they can.” If you want to support King Street Artworks, just check out the centre at 16 Queen Street in Masterton. Take the opportunity to see a free exhibition at Aratoi – Wairarapa Museum of Art and History – featuring work from King Street Artworks artists. I felt that it was a great opportunity for everyone to know new artists and it is great that they have the chance of showing their art in a gallery.

Work environments matter Lakeview School principal TIM NELSON endeavours to learn something new every day by reading books, listening to podcasts, and engaging with a wide range of other content. A kind word

Paul de Gelder is a former Australian Navy diver who suffered horrific injuries, losing a leg and an arm, when diving in Sydney Harbour. He has since gone on to lead an inspirational life as a speaker and, surprisingly to some, an advocate for shark protection. His story is an incredible one of overcoming many challenges, both before and after his injury, to make the very most of what life has to offer. Things weren’t always so positive for Paul. As a child and into his early 20s he made poor choice after poor choice as he drifted along in life. Things started to change when he joined the armed services. A key moment from here was one interaction with a doctor who shared genuinely kind words with Paul, showing he had belief in what he would achieve in the services. This comment was shared by Paul on the Phil Keoghan podcast as a key moment in his life, with the

kindness being one reason for Paul going on to lead the life he has since led. Anyone can use positive and kind words. They cost nothing and will always make both the giver and receiver feel good. The more that are shared, the better our world will be.

Changing your work environment

Recently, on National Radio, I heard an interview with Jamie Scott, an expert on workplace wellness, who shared his thoughts about the conditions that many ﬁnd themselves working in that simply aren’t conducive to living well, with his particular focus being on retailers in shopping malls. He described long hours with uncomfortable conditions. In a recent column, I commented on The Blue Zones, those places where people live longer and healthier lives. The author suggested one way of accessing these places is to move to them.

Midweek Musings

Tim Nelson However, this, for a range of reasons, isn’t a solution for everyone, just as changing jobs isn’t for many who are working in uncomfortable environments. Because of this, we need to look at taking control and making changes to our situations: the food you bring for lunch, the eﬀort you put into doing your job as well as possible, how you spend your break, how you interact with

customers and colleagues, the reading material left in the break room, looking forward to and enjoying the cappuccino on your afternoon tea break, and any other small way you can make things better. This will also impact on those you work with and those you attend to, making for a much more pleasant overall daily experience.

Kids these days

We often hear that “kids

these days” aren’t doing as well as they could be; they make poor choices, are irresponsible and expect everything to be done for them, among many other issues. From my perspective, I see kids working incredibly hard in school, working long hours in part time work, training for sports like full time athletes, leading global climate change protests, creating solutions to problems through school creativity and think tank classes and helping in the community. We should instead be celebrating the way they work so hard to overcome the obstacles that are placed in front of them.

Guaranteeing a loan is risky A guarantor is someone who guarantees someone else’s loan or credit contract – that is, they promise to repay a debt if the borrower can’t or won’t. A lender may insist that a borrower has a guarantor for their loan. This is usually because the lender is concerned about the person’s ability to keep up their loan repayments, or the borrower is under 18 years of age. One should think very carefully before agreeing to become a guarantor. Please realise that if the borrower gets behind with their payments, the lender has the right to chase the guarantor up for the money. You basically become the person who has borrowed the money. If as guarantor you are unable to repay the loan, you could find yourself in financial trouble and certainly this will affect your credit history. If that happens, you will have difficulty if you ever need to borrow money for yourself. If you feel you must

WAIRARAPA

become a guarantor, ask yourself the following questions: • Why does the borrower need the money? • Are they likely to have trouble making the payments? • Are they borrowing for something they really need, or would they be better to save up for it? • What is your capacity to repay the loan if they default, including interest and debt recovery costs? • You will need to provide something as security; what are you willing to risk having repossessed if the money can’t be paid back? Be careful not to list any items as security that are worth more than the value of the loan. If you guarantee a loan for someone, the lender must give you a copy of the credit agreement and a copy of the guarantee contract.

It is also a wise idea to get a written agreement with the borrower which obliges them to keep you informed of their financial decisions, allows you access to see how much money is in their account and which states exactly who is responsible for which parts of the loan. So, being a guarantor is not a simple act of kindness. It is actually taking responsibility for someone else’s loan. So do not take it on lightly. It’s probably wiser not to take it on at all.

Inside the Kiwi Nursery Dear friends, Here’s a question for you: have you ever thought about eggs before? Not eating them, but what they are and what they do? This week we thought we’d give you a glimpse into a working kiwi nursery. Up at Pūkaha we are part of something called Operation Nest Egg. This means we monitor the wild kiwi in our forest using a technique known as telemetry. We place transmitters on the males and monitor them for changes in the transmitter’s pulse. When it changes to a certain rate, we know that the kiwi is sitting on an egg! When the bird is asleep, Jess, our highly skilled

   

Kiwi chick. PHOTO/TARA SWAN

and specially trained head ranger, takes the egg and makes the trek back to Pūkaha. The egg is candled using a special torch so that Jess can see that its healthy and

washed before being placed in an incubator. We also look at the egg’s air cell, which is where the bird will eventually crack with its beak, and which starts to drop the closer the

kiwi gets to hatching. It will begin to ‘internally pip’ on the inside before ‘externally pipping’ when it breaks through the shell. We don’t want to rush the kiwi. It needs to have completely separated from the egg yolk which it has been absorbing through its navel. Sometimes, Jess may even have to cut the ‘cord’. The kiwi is given a quick clean and weighed before being placed in a special drying incubator. It doesn’t need food or water for the next six days, because it’s busy digesting all that yolk. In the wild, kiwis will huddle under their dad. During this time, the kiwi will lose 20 per cent of its hatch weight which it will then

regain. Then, it will go into our pre-release enclosure to learn how to forage for its own food. Once it reaches 1.2kg, it’s time to go to the wild. From, The Pūkaha Rangers.

Contributed by Helen Cordery • The Wairarapa Midweek has partnered with Pukaha National Wildlife Centre to put a spotlight on wildlife conservation eﬀorts locally and allow readers to get up close and personal with New Zealand’s amazing native species.

Art scholarships granted

Two former college students from Wairarapa have each been awarded the Golden C’Art Scholarship by Masterton Trust Lands Trust (MTLT) to assist them in furthering their arts education. The scholarships were awarded to former Wairarapa College student Ambhar Graham and former St Matthew’s Collegiate student SophieMarie Thirsk. Ambhar is studying towards a Diploma of Creative Technologies at Weltec while SophieMarie is studying towards a Bachelor of Design and Innovation at Victoria University. The scholarship, worth $1000, is awarded to a top performing Wairarapa student in a fine arts subject who is going on to study an arts-related course at a New Zealand tertiary institution. MTLT awarded two

Ambhar said it was a “big surprise” to get the scholarship, which she used to purchase a new laptop to use with her digital design course. “Without the scholarship, I wouldn’t have been able

to buy the laptop which has made a big difference to me in doing my course and assignments.” Ambhar said she was grateful to MTLT for the scholarship. “It’s not just the money. “It was really good to get recognition for my artwork and the effort that I’ve put into it.” She said she has been

enjoying the course, which she hopes will lead to further art-related study. “The skills I’m gaining from this course will also help with possible career options in the future.” Originally established by the Golden C’Art Trust, MTLT has continued to provide the scholarship following the dissolution of the Golden C’Art Trust

last year. “It’s great that the Trust has continued on with this scholarship, not just for me but for other students in the future,” Ambhar said. “It’s important to have a local organisation providing this sort of support, particularly for art students who often need special equipment or art supplies for their course.”

celebrating with past, present, and future members. “The Toy Library caters for schools, preschools, home based caregivers, as well as parents and grandparents so the open evening will be

an opportunity to view the facilities and get a membership that suits their needs.” There will also be a free membership given away on the night. “Our toy library is one of the biggest in

New Zealand and this is thanks to the very generous support of local businesses, community trusts, and the dedication of individual volunteers who believe in the importance of children’s play.”

‘Tits Up’ lunch raises $13,500 More than $13,000 was raised at last month’s Tits Up fundraising lunch for Shocking Pink, a charity dedicated to helping young women diagnosed with breast cancer. The pink-themed brunch, held at Rose & Smith Tauherenikau, was a sold-out event featuring keynote speaker Amber Arkell, breast cancer survivor and author of the blog ‘When things Went Tits Up’. Photographer BILLIE BROOK captured the event through the lens.

Students put cooking skills to the test As UCOL’s ﬁrst semester came to an end, campus staﬀ and supporters were treated to a full stomach of food, cooked by none other than UCOL Wairarapa Level 4 Cookery students. At the start of the month, the students were given the opportunity to prepare, cook and serve a three-course meal under the guidance of their tutors Eddie Bleach and Natalie Jones. The menu of the day was pumpkin soup with a maple foam, served with Fougassa bread, followed by a main of smoked chicken carbonara with

apple and fennel salad. Dessert was a chocolate fondant with berry pearls, caramel baskets, and a quenelle of fresh cream. Jones said the lunch was a great way to help the cookery students gain more experience with service. It also allowed campus staﬀ to “take a moment to come together and sit down and share a meal”, she said. “We will also be looking at running some more restaurant services in semester two and will be on the lookout for future diners.”

A new bed an aid to chronic pain relief New Zealanders could reduce their use of pain relief medication by purchasing a new bed and taking better care of their spinal health, according to the New Zealand Chiropractors’ Association (NZCA). It says mounting research from around the world, including New Zealand, shows that poor quality sleep and spinal issues can lead to chronic pain and other conditions.

“Not only can a bad bed worsen your spinal health, the poor quality sleep you get from lying on a bad bed makes you feel any existing pain much more intensely.

WWW.WCMLEGAL.CO.NZ

What can happen is that people rely more and more on painkillers instead of addressing their spine, the NZCA says. According to a recent report published in the Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, the increased use of opioid painkillers has led to unanticipated consequences such as a developed tolerance amongst some patients to the drugs and poor treatment outcomes for conditions such as workrelated neuromusculoskeletal disorders, joint replacements and spinal surgery.

“These drugs numb the pain and may convince a patient that a neuromusculoskeletal condition is less severe than it is, or that it has healed. “We should start by looking at all the other options first. Can we improve the patients’ sleep? New British research shows that more than half of us (55%) wait until our bed loses all firmness before changing it, more than one in ten (11%) adults have never replaced their mattress at all, and 16 per cent wait until they experience aches and pains before doing so. “

Award-winning Brackenridge Country Retreat and Spa – set in the beautiful Martinborough landscape. PHOTO/SUPPLIED

Spa of the year Brackenridge Country Retreat and Spa is celebrating winning the luxury spa award at the annual World Luxury Spa and Restaurant Awards gala in Russia this month. It was named Australia and Oceania winner of the Luxury Countryside Spa at the awards. Spa manager Sharon Garrett said “our team is over the moon to have been recognised by this award”. “To be acknowledged alongside the best in

the world is absolutely wonderful and really puts the South Wairarapa on the map for spa and wellbeing,” she said. Unfortunately for the small business, they were not able to make the trip over to Russia for the event, which also saw eight other continent winners from New Zealand and one global winner – Spa at the Pullman, from Auckland, which won the luxury business spa section. The awards recognise

establishments for worldclass service excellence and are presented on a country, regional, continental, and global basis. The gala, held at The State Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg Russia, was the fourth annual event of its kind. More 200 guests from around the world attended, representing 90 countries, 450 spas and 270 restaurants.

Awards nominations Nominations will soon close for the 2019 Wairarapa Awards – the region’s dedicated business awards which takes place on Thursday, October 3, at the Copthorne Solway Park Hotel and Resort, Masterton. The Wairarapa Awards is an opportunity to highlight Wairarapa businesses and showcase what the region has to offer and is run by Business Wairarapa, formerly Wairarapa Chamber of Commerce. Business Wairarapa is seeking nominations in five categories: Innovation, Vibrant, Emerging, Team and Service. Innovation highlights

businesses exploring new ideas, services and products and who are thinking outside the box. Vibrant features those businesses who are leaders in Wairarapa’s burgeoning hospitality and tourism sector. Emerging showcases the region’s up and coming businesses. Team is all about service to the community, wellness and well-being, and investment in people. Service is given to an individual who has provided exceptional service over a long period. In addition to the five categories, there will be an overall Supreme Award and two Tributes to well-known Wairarapa business icons, selected by

the Business Wairarapa Board. Nominations can come from anyone, either connected to the business or not, and entry is through the completion of a nomination form available on www. wairarapachamber.co.nz. The closing date is 5pm on July 19. Finalists will be selected by an independent panel of judges and will be announced at a launch event on August 26. Businesses that are finalists for the Wellington Gold Awards are automatically nominated for the Wairarapa Awards, so there’s no need to reapply.

Travels of a pocketknife

Wai Write

Sam Te Tau I was seven years old when we left Greytown to move nearer to Dad’s work. We went to live in a remote farming community in the rural Wairarapa known as Tuturumuri. It was near the end of a long, winding gravel road and had a small district school with a few scattered houses, ours being one of them. After school, I would meander home, exploring the rugged roadside on the way. Passing the lagoon was a little scary as the tall raupo reeds swung gently in the breeze, rasping together their seed head pods, causing eerie voice-like sounds. I imagined all manner of hostile creatures lurking amongst the bulrushes and watching little me going past. I could hardly believe my luck on my seventh birthday as I

unwrapped a brand new pocketknife. With it, I killed my first rabbit. I felt so grown up. We were hunting with our fathers early one morning and as usual there had been no time for breakfast. My friend Charlie and I were made to stay in the car as it was pouring with rain. After a few hours, the sun came out and we became spellbound by a brilliant rainbow. Seeking the pot of gold at the rainbow’s end we raced across the paddock and up the hill. Of course, it kept moving as we did in our frantic search until Charlie stayed still and directed me towards the rainbow from a distance. Sure enough, I found where the treasure was hidden. It was in a rabbit hole. I

cautiously put my hand down into the burrow and then all of a sudden, I felt something. It wasn’t a treasure box or a nugget of gold, no, it was a soft, furry rabbit … surprise, surprise! Digging it out we couldn’t believe our good fortune. We were used to having wild rabbits as pets, but we were also really hungry! After building a small fire we prepared our catch with my trusty pocketknife and proudly began to roast it. When the hunters returned, having not made a catch, we were quick to share our success

story. My pocketknife was like a close friend. I soon acquired a leather belt with a special pouch to keep it in. Then one day I went to use it and it wasn’t there. After many searches, I realised that it was gone! The feeling of loss was hard to bear but unbeknown to me, the distant future had a surprise in store. Many years later I was visiting an art studio in Rotorua. The artist had immigrated to New Zealand in the early sixties and ironically had lived in Tuturumuri. They had lived opposite the school. Surprised by this revelation, I went on to tell him the story about me losing my pocketknife. A few weeks later, my wife and I visited the artist again. As we were leaving the gallery,

the artist suddenly stopped and said, “Oh yes, now … your pocketknife story, can you please wait here for a moment?”. Mystified by this, Maureen and I watched as he went over to his house. He soon returned with something in his hand. It was a rusty old pocketknife. “I had told my wife your story and she remembered finding this pocketknife under the trees beside the road, opposite the school”. He smiled and gave it to me, suggesting that it may be the very knife that I had lost. Was it the same knife? Probably not, but who knows what magic is woven by those whispering reeds under radiant rainbows.

Top spot for semis RUGBY

Chris Cogdale Gladstone easily accounted for Marist 41-10 at Memorial Park on Saturday and finished the round robin as top qualifiers for the Tui Cup semifinals. After just eight minutes, veteran lock Andrew McLean, who is starting to return to his usual blockbusting form, crashed through soft defence to open the scoring. Four minutes later, a pinpoint crosskick from first-five Tim Griffith was caught by hooker Richard Puddy who had stayed out wide and scored to make it 10-0. It was 15-0 after 21 minutes when fullback Harry Eschenbach finished off a move started by the little Fijian Inia Katia, playing at second-five, who weaved his magic before passing to winger Dylan Lord-Bune, who showed good pace to set up Eschenbach. First-five Paddy Gluck, one of the few Marist players to enhance his reputation, gave the green and whites some hope, brushing through two defenders on a brilliant 25m run to the tryline. Gladstone wrapped up the bonus point with a fourth try in the dying
