Wairarapa’s hidden addiction Problem gambling is a harmless habit at ÿ rst, but beware of becoming addicted Lisa Urbani Ramil Adhikari, Public health worker at the Salvation ArmyOasis, Gambling Service, is a man on a mission, to try to help people affected by the hidden addiction in Wairarapa – gambling. It is estimated that New Zealanders are spending more than 2 billion dollars a year, and 5.7 million dollars a day, in gambling nationwide – sobering figures. In Masterton, the pokies are the biggest source of gambling harm, and Ramil revealed a shocking fact – up to 300 experts are involved in the design of the machines, so that the flashing lights, the bright colours and speed with which they spin, the musical noises and winning “kerching-kerching” sounds, are carefully crafted to appeal, to stimulate, and to provide the endorphin rush to which a gambler becomes addicted. Anyone, regardless of age or gender, or ethnicity, can become addicted to gambling, even if it starts out as a past-time for

amusement or social interaction. Often people who are lonely or depressed – particularly new immigrants – or have compulsive disorders, are more at risk. Using different gambling methods such as going on the pokies, or online, or racing or sport betting, or gambling at a casino, also indicate a higher possibility of it becoming a harmful habit. Other factors include, gambling large amounts at one time, abusing alcohol or drugs, or living in an area where pokie machines are more prevalent. Many community organisations benefit from funds raised by pokie machines or Lotto, as it can be a welcome and useful source of revenue – thus causing a conflict of interests. Gambling becomes a problem when you can’t stop, and it adversely affects your life, and those around you – usually about five to 10 people – studies have shown. Continued on page 3

WBS launch ‘Stuff the banks’ Lisa Urbani

Wairarapa Building Society [WBS] has been in the region for 150 years and survived many tough economic times. Paul Bywater, the current CEO, has a great sense of humour and a heart of gold, when he decided to launch a cheeky campaign called “Stuff the Banks” – a tongue-incheek initiative to support the five foodbanks in Wairarapa. Carterton’s Foodbank coordinator Yvonne O’Dowd and committee member Kevin Conroy were “blown away” by their very generous donation of food and other items, particularly hygiene products such as toilet paper and women’s personal supplies, and nappies, delivered personally by the WBS. May was a hard month for the Carterton Foodbank as they packed 71 boxes for people in need, whereas during May of the previous year, they only packed 36 parcels.

They fear that difficult times lie ahead for many families as the economic reality of the covid-19 pandemic hits home. The extra supplies will enable them to be more generous with the food parcels, and maybe make

them last a bit longer. They also received two $1000 gift cards from another donor, and had been collecting three boxes of food donations from the supermarket each day. “All around, the sense

of community coming together is wonderful”, Yvonne said. The local New World had allowed her to shop earlier than other patrons to make her work easier, and had always been

very helpful and community-minded. Anna Keane and Kirsty Ryan from WBS said once they had identified the needs of the different foodbanks, the supermarkets they had dealt with, had been incredibly supportive in offering discounts. These included Pak’n Save in Masterton, New World, FreshChoice, SuperValue and P and K in Martinborough. The Carterton District Council [CDC], was represented by communications and engagement coordinator Elisa Vorster, who said, “from the council’s perspective, the foodbank plays a crucial role in the community, and it is fantastic to see their hard work recognised”. She hoped that those in need would not be afraid to ask for help and reminded locals that they could nominate someone in need if necessary, and to check on their neighbours.

Anna Keane of the WBS said it had been a “privilege” to help the foodbanks, and her colleague Kirsty Ryan added that they wanted to encourage other businesses to donate too, since they feared a second wave of need might be coming. Praising the CDC support, Yvonne O’Dowd, mentioned how Mayor Greg Lang would visit to get updates, and how the previous mayor, and volunteer fireman John Booth, delivered parcels using the fire brigade van, on the foodbank’s busiest day. The CDC provided their premises free of charge as well as the power needed to run the foodbank, and Wai Waste was also acknowledged for their assistance in picking up food from the supermarkets for the foodbanks. “Community helping community” was how this great effort was described.

As Ramil says, “when you drink or take drugs, there are signs, with gambling it’s not so obvious, many so-called ‘respectable’ people become addicted. “It’s a problem when someone starts avoiding their family, or missing school or work. “When they are always trying to win back their losses, and they become stressed and agitated, or they can’t pay their bills, and they start being secretive or lying, or even turning to crime, then you know there is a problem, and they are not in control anymore.” The results of problem gambling can be catastrophic for an individual. Sinking into debt that becomes overwhelming,

losing one’s job, relationship breakdowns, being unproductive, borrowing money and thus exacerbating the problem, feeling stressed and anxious, guilty, depressed or suicidal – all are side effects of problem gambling. Ramil offers free counselling at Oasis – the only place that specialises in gambling addiction in Wairarapa –working together with problem gamblers to address their compulsive behaviour, by understanding the harm it causes in their life, and planning a way forward. As with any addiction, the first step is admitting that you have a problem, and accepting that you need help. For many people it’s a shameful secret, and they are reluctant to

Greytown going great guns Lisa Urbani

Post-covid-19, Greytown has been bustling as locals and visitors explore the quaint town to spend up large in the shops and cafes. Founded in 1854 by the Small Farms Association, Greytown was New Zealand’s first planned inland town and was established under the Small Farms Association Settlement Scheme. It is also famous for holding the first Arbor Day celebration in New Zealand, on July 3, 1890. Despite excellent sales on Queen’s Birthday weekend, some business owners were cautious in their predictions for future economic prospects. Richard Hassall of the Village Art Shop said “the jury is still out, business is

reasonable”. “Kiwis are supporting us, they are not travelling, so they have spare money to spend on their homes, and people are getting things framed.” Emporos and Just William owners, Annabel and Grant Cowdery agreed. They had been very busy in both shops, and people were interested in refurbishing, having spent the lockdown in their homes, many of them having to work from home. The Greytown Butcher, Gavin Green, said his loyal customers had been very supportive and had shopped online during the lockdown. He had noticed an increase in a desire for comfort foods like wintry casseroles, which were proving very popular. Steve Perry, of Wakefield Antiques, was of the opinion that there had “been a bounce since covid-19” and they had been busier than previous Labour weekends. At Deluxe, John Hedge said it had “been good but quiet during the week”, but over Queen’s Birthday weekend lots

of Wellingtonians had visited, and he hoped it would continue, but being realistic, it was about “getting a balance”. Saunders Shoes has been in Wairarapa for 72 years, and owner Tracie Donald said it was great to see so many shopping locally, and she felt very positive. “We’ve all been very surprised at how well its going”, said Pamela Wickstead of Tapestry, “it takes the pressure off and is encouraging.”

Equally positive in her comments, Tina Dunlop of Shalari Boutique said “any day with cash flow is a good day. Mango’s Shane Brown had noticed that there seemed to be confident spending, while at Nirvana, Karen Tomuri had been liaising with clients online during the lockdown, and said it had been a “really enjoyable relationship building experience for both me and our loyal customers.”

The White Swan’s, Rosie Broughton was pleased to say that they had experienced trade similar to peak summer season, but she was concerned that it was just a honeymoon period and that buying behaviours might become more reserved as time passed and the predicted recession set in. Adam Blackwell, of Blackwell and Sons, was instrumental in driving the ‘Shop it Forward’ campaign whereby people could order

What’s on at the Watson Lisa Urbani Artist Harry Watson has an eye for new talent, and his dealer gallery in Masterton - tucked away on the top floor of the art deco building at 2 Perry St – is currently showing the work of Palmerston North artist, Dale Anthony. When I visited the gallery recently it featured Sam Melser’s ‘Viral Dystopia’ – a playful take on primitive and primal responses to uncertain times, with faint reference to covid-19, but that has now been taken down. As the only dealer gallery in Masterton, Harry will showcase one or more artists exclusively for a period of time – usually a month – and as an artist of note himself – being well known especially for his quirky wood carvings,

as well as his painting – Harry shares his “artistic sensibilities and passion for art” with visitors. Growing up in Wellington, one of five boys, he had a bohemian and inspiring childhood, with his writer parents being the social hub for many diverse personalities – poets, writers, artists and musicians. He candidly admitted he was somewhat “wayward” despite his “fabulous” teachers, but he “always had to draw and paint, to create”. In his 20s, he began to take art more seriously, when he became fascinated with reliquaries and saints, and medieval busts, and how religion has inspired great art – all of which led to his own carved angels, and fantastical, historical and colonial, tongue-in-

cheek figurines, which feature so in many of his creations. Self-taught, he has many exhibitions to his name, as well as being represented by leading galleries and having his art held in several private and public collections. Affordability drew him to the Wairarapa 25 years ago, and he was a part-time art tutor at King Street Artworks for twenty years, although he also worked in a number of other fields. Opening the gallery was a spontaneous decision in mid-February, and another artist who features prominently in his gallery, is Masterton’s Jason Burns. His expectation for his gallery is that it “will be a New Zealand gallery, based in Masterton, showing artists from around New Zealand, as well as locals”.

True to his offbeat sense of humour, videos which feature on the gallery’s Facebook page “make fun of some of the more affectatious aspects of the art world and also show ‘not art’, such as tastefully framed bottle tops and matchbooks”. The toilet in the gallery has had a blessing and a tapu lifting ceremony performed, and now houses some miniature works of art. Harry’s advice when it comes to art? “Respond to art in your own way, try not to interpret it – art makes you look, it lifts your spirit.” • Gallery hours: Tues-Sat 10am-3pm.

He felt that the big spend had been hugely encouraged by Destination Wairarapa’s promotion of Wairarapa as a great “escape destination” for Wellingtonians. However, he cautioned that retail businesses now had to offer a unique and memorable experience consistently, if they were to reap the benefits. Alex Beijen, Mayor of the South Wairarapa was confident in his region’s ability to resume business, attributing it to several factors. Primary production was very active during lockdown and may have lessened the overall effect of the restrictions. The excellent marketing campaign from Destination Wairarapa, had promoted tourism. Building consents were being received, and some large commercial projects were underway. There was strong interest in vacant land. In short, he said it was “business as usual in the south”.

Mural mirrors train station Lisa Urbani Adrian Jackman’s travel poster-style mural for Carterton, featuring the local train station, is complete, and all agree that it is a delightful addition to beautifying the Carterton Events Centre precinct. Colourful and historical, it depicts a steam train pulling into the station, with the very distinct station building, the iconic Tararuas in the background, and the famed daffodils of Carterton blowing in the breeze. Administrator and analyst for Ka Pai Carterton, Lucy McKenzie

said that “murals are a good way to enhance and positively ‘lift’ an area”. “There is a thriving arts sector here in Carterton, so it’s been great for Ka Pai Carterton to get alongside Adrian and bring this visual gem into our CBD and foster community pride”. Carterton deputy mayor, Rebecca Vergunst, was equally fulsome in her praise. “Being a member of the Creative Communities Fund Committee is one of my favourite jobs as a councillor – you get to see so many cool projects come through, receive funding and add value to our community.”

Adrian noted the significance in the history of Carterton, as he had started on the work just as New Zealand entered the covid-19 lockdown, and then how painting it had to be put on hold, only progressing as each level of the covid-19 response resulted in another level being lifted – until he could finally complete it at Level 1. He invited admirers to find the little surprise in the form of a logo, that he had hidden in the painting. The person to find it first, would get a free coffee with the artist himself.

CBD upgrade designs out Emily Ireland Kids splashing about in a water feature, a woman walking her bike, and another practising yoga on a grass platform. Masterton residents won’t recognise Park St and the southern end of Queen St in a few years time, should designs for a CBD revamp go ahead. The Masterton District Council has released designs to change the lower part of Queen St and Park St. MDC will make a decision on the next step of the CBD revamp at its meeting on June 24.

This will include how to proceed to tender for a contractor to carry out construction of the project. Construction likely won’t start until early 2021 as it will take at least four months to secure a contractor and plan the work. Work will not be done over the Christmas period. A council spokesperson said one of the key reasons for revamping the town centre was to do what is best for Masterton businesses – “especially as the impact of the covid-19 lockdown is realised”. “We want to attract people into Masterton so

they spend more time in our town centre, and, as a result, support our local businesses”. Wairarapa historian Gareth Winter, who works at the Wairarapa Archive near Park St said the design elements “look great”. “I love the ideas of a children’s water feature – I think there’s been a bit of talk about that in recent times on Masterton Matters. “There are already lots of people who use Library Square for socialising and especially for lunching in summer, so the extra seating, and a table, will

be well used. “The plantings look as though they will soften the harder landscape elements, but also provide a link down park Street to Queen Elizabeth Park. “All looks good to me – although I do wonder where the guy towing his luggage is headed.” Queen St business owner Laxman Khadka of Annapurna said beautifying central Masterton areas was a “good idea”. He said the most important part of any upgrade was ensuring that car parks were not lost. Mark Rogers, of Bear

Flag Books and Retro, said he thought a lot of business owners on Queen St were “a bit disillusioned with the lack of initiatives from council to help support local commerce post-covid-19”. “And now we are presented with yet another set of drawings and plans that will just be added to an ever-growing pile of past follies. “Pretty pictures do not make for a thriving business hub, action does, and at the moment we are not seeing much of it.” The designs are very detailed drawings that include the types of

materials used, street furniture, and tree varieties. MDC has asked business owners to complete a short survey before June 19 to inform its decision on the next steps. Questions include: “What do you think about change within the Town Centre?”, when should construction take place, and what impact has covid-19 had on business. Responses will be incorporated into the overall engagement undertaken to date on the Town Centre Revamp project.

Woodworkers get new base There will be more opportunities for local people to develop woodworking skills after Masterton Trust Lands Trust (MTLT) provided the Wairarapa Woodworkers Guild with a concessional rent grant and larger facility to operate from. The Guild has relocated from Carterton Men’s Shed into the MTLT-owned former trout hatchery building adjacent to Millennium Reserve. Guild president Nick Crozier said the building was ideal for the organisation, which has a growing membership. “It’s fantastic to have a dedicated space where we can have our machines permanently laid out, rather than having to set up and then pack up our equipment each session. The central location will provide easier access to our club nights and workshops, and the building is well equipped for running our courses.” Crozier said the larger space would allow the Guild to extend the range of activities and courses it can oﬀer, and the groups it can provide these to. “There’s growing interest from people of all ages to

learn woodturning and scroll sawing skills. Moving to the new building will allow us to expand our courses and oﬀer activity sessions to community groups and schools. It provides an opportunity to learn practical skills, but also have the enjoyment of making something artistic, improving coordination, and allowing for creativity.” Along with running courses and handcrafting items for their own use, Guild members produce and donate over 150 wig stands each year to the Cancer Society. Crozier said the Guild was “blown away” to get a MTLT concessional rent grant to use the building. “As a small non-proﬁt organisation, we simply

couldn’t operate without this support. The grant means we can provide really good teaching services to our members and more opportunities for the local community to come and learn a new skill.” MTLT Chairperson Leanne Southey said it was good to have the building being used, after a number of years of being vacant. “It’s really pleasing to see this community-owned asset being used as a place where locals can come to try out woodworking and possibly develop a life-long interest in this craft.” Wairarapa Woodworkers Guild have started running courses again. • Check out their Facebook page for details of upcoming courses.

Lucky escape for teen Aleyna Martinez A 17-year-old college student was fortunate to avoid serious injury, even death, when his vehicle rolled, trapping him inside, upside down in a gutter. Police said the teen rolled his Holden Commodore into a ditch on Lees Pakaraka Rd at about 10.30am last Friday. He was treated at the scene by ambulance staﬀ for minor injuries. A retired nurse and her husband who live across the road from the scene had been working on their property when they saw the car roll

during a coffee break. Both dropped their coffees immediately. Having worked as an ED nurse, the woman ran over first while her husband called police. Approaching the car, and by the look of it, she said she initially feared the person inside was dead. After hearing him respond to her call however, she said her instincts from working as a nurse kicked in. He was obviously in shock and had a lot of adrenalin, she said. When the boy tried to move, she told him she would check his vitals first.

“He had all the pulses in the right place,” she said. The couple then felt comfortable to help him “wiggle” out the back. The woman said she was relieved there was no smell of petrol and the fact the boy walked away with minor injuries was a testament to the way cars were designed today. She said it was just an accident and the boy was “very lucky” to have rolled into the gutter the way he did. “If he had hit a tree or rolled along the ﬂat land it would likely be a very diﬀerent story,” the retired ED nurse said.

Changing The chilly frosty mornings may make it hard to get up in the morning but as always there’s a bright side. The cold crisp days we experience in winter are helpful for eliminating pests & disease in the garden. We can help Mother Nature clean up the garden by doing a few of the jobs ourselves.

Spray your deciduous trees to clean up pests and disease By now the leaves will be falling off your deciduous roses, grapes, ornamentals and fruit trees. This is the perfect time to spray with Grosafe Lime Sulphur to get rid of any pests & diseases that could be taking cover for the winter. If you have any stubborn leaves that don’t want to let go, this will ‘encourage’ them to go into dormancy. It’s important to check the label to ensure the right dosage, but in winter after leaf fall but before growth appears it’s recommended to mix 100ml into 1.5L of water and spray the tree completely. Ensure you get into all the nooks and cranny's and even spray the soil underneath the tree. This will eliminate problems such as scale, moss, lichen, mites and also Leaf Curl. If you are growing grapes then only use 70ml per litre to help deal with powdery mildew, blackspot, scale + more.

About 3 weeks after spraying with Lime Sulphur you should then do a mixture of FreeFlo Copper, BioPower Seaweed Flakes & Enspray 99 Spraying Oil, we call this the GROSAFE TRIFECTA. All 3 of these can be combined in a spray pack together (add copper, seaweed flakes then spraying oil).

Give us your card details every time you shop with us and you could be in to win one of TWO $25 GARDENBARN VOUCHERS. That’s 14 lucky winners each week!

THIS WEEKS WINNERS COPPER: Spray in winter on pipfruit & stonefruit to control black spot, fire blight, leaf curl, shot hole, bacterial spot and stonefruit blast. For Roses and Ornamentals will control black spot, downy mildew, leaf spots & fire blight.

A few key points to remember:  Always read the directions thoroughly before use.  Spray all areas of the tree, including the soil underneath.  Take care with spray drift you don’t want to accidentally defoliate your evergreen trees & the products stains so be careful with walls, fences, paths etc.  Don’t mix with other fungicides/ insecticides.  Not for use on sulphur shy plants such as apricots.  Lime Sulphur smells like rotten eggs, wear a facemask!

DO YOU HAVE A GARDENBARN CARD?

SEAWEED FLAKES: A pure seaweek flake that can be used as a foliar spray, root dipper, seed soaker or apply to soil. Some benefits are:  Stimulates natural root growth & plant vigour  Increases stress resistance  Increases bloom set, size of flowers & fruit

SPRAYING OIL: Is a fungicide and insecticide combined and helps control:  Thrips  Mites  Aphids  Scale  Powdery Mildew  + more

Kill Pests & Diseases While They’re Hiding Out For those of you who have Peaches, Nectarines or even Plums you should know the importance of following a strict Winter Cleanup Spray Programme to prevent Leaf Curl (this is important for many other reasons too).

Lime Sulphur will help get rid of Lichen and Moss on trees

Every year we get customers coming in wondering what is wrong with the leaves on their peaches or nectarine trees. Sadly, we have to tell them that they have leaf curl. There is not much that can be done at that time, the damage has been done during winter. But you can prevent it happening to you by spraying now. Leaf Curl is a fungal disease that

Carterton

Keeping Carterton beautiful Lisa Urbani The Keep Carterton Beautiful group was formed in 1997 when a small group of retirees decided to band together, to help with the hanging baskets of flowers which adorn the High Street at various times. They see their role as helping and supporting the Carterton District Council Parks and Reserves in Keeping Carterton Beautiful. While scrolling through social media, I came across their page, and was inspired to contact Karen Chalmers who set the Facebook page up, to find out more. Meeting at short notice, she and Elaine Renall, another group member, graciously shared the history of this dedicated group of individuals – many of them well past retirement age – whose passion it is to show their civic pride, and get involved in projects to

Considering that a lot of the members are in their 80s, it is a tremendous feat for them to have put so much work, love and care into making their town beautiful. beautify their town. It was astounding what a small group of volunteers can, and have, achieved. They spoke of holding fund-raising days such as “Sculptures in the Park’ at Carrington House which was then owned by John and Shirley Cameron, raising $7000. John and Melanie Greenwood had also been kind enough to share their magnificent garden in Wakelin St for fundraising events, one of which raised $4500, and another Italian-themed event raised $15,000. These open days also attracted many visitors to

Carterton, which in turn, was profitable for the whole town. The money they raised, was put to good use, some was donated to Sparks Park, they commissioned the mural on Hollaway St, and later installed one on the St Johns building. Some money also went to the Carterton Events Centre build. Working bees all over town have ensured that they have planted thousands of daffodils, and other plants and shrubs and trees, painted fences and buildings, picked up leaves at the cemetery, weeded, sprayed, mowed, and cleaned, and built two

bridges at Sparks Park, which they also maintain. To add to these efforts, they also have replaced fences where needed, and clean the chapel at the cemetery once a month. Considering that a lot of the members are in their 80s, it is a tremendous feat for them to have put so much work, love and care into making their town beautiful. As both Karen and Elaine attested, it’s not only pride in their town that keeps them volunteering for these worthy projects, but also the social aspect, the getting outside, keeping fit and active, learning

about the history of their town and preserving it for future generations, planning and executing their projects – and feeling that they have contributed to making the town where they live, attractive, not only to locals, but also a welcoming sight for visitors.

WINTER (AND SMOG) IS HERE…. Every winter Masterton exceeds global guidelines for air quality – and that hurts our health. Wood burning is a great way to keep our homes warm, but it’s also the biggest culprit for smog in winter. If we all burn better and reduce the amount of smoke we put into the air, we can breathe easier. Better burning means more heat from your fire with less smoke – that’s because smoke is just wood that hasn’t been fully burnt. It’s important to make sure your woodburner is efficient, and your wood is dry and untreated. Masterton needs everyone to adopt better wood burning techniques so that we’ve got clean air to breathe during winter. Here are the main tips: y

Have your chimney cleaned before each winter.

Make sure your wood is dry, and untreated.

Make sure your fire burns bright and hot so it doesn’t produce smoke.

Don’t shut the fire damper (air vent) down overnight.

We want Masterton to have healthy, clean air to breathe, let’s all play our part and become better burners. Learn about better burning on our website. Plus, go into the draw to win a load of free firewood for a friend donated by Bolt Firewood. See more at www.mstn.govt.nz and searching “Masterton’s Air Quality”.

It takes an army to make news possible My previous journalism experience encompassed 10 years of working in radio and television, so I was by no means familiar with the process of getting a paper to print, and after three months, I now have great respect for the teamwork that it takes to make the Wairarapa Times-Age and Midweek possible. Trust me when I say it’s been eye-opening, challenging, and stimulating, and I have rediscovered my enthusiasm for working to deadlines and meeting people from all walks of life, writing about them, and getting to grips with all all I need to do. On Mondays, the busy layout team prepare each page, taking the copy and photos provided by the journalists, waving their magic hands over the keyboards, cutting and pasting, and enhancing and sizing, making our stories and headlines exciting and interesting, with special magic tricks.

Gratitude for our Friends

Aratoi Wairarapa Museum of Art and History has appreciated many years of support from the Friends of Aratoi committee and its members. The Friends of Aratoi was formed to raise funds to help extend and maintain the collection and to support exhibitions, education programmes and events. Many members are also on the daily volunteer roster, helping in the day-to-day running of the museum. Benefits of membership include invitations to openings, floor talks and performances, reduced prices for tickets to various events and fundraisers and, occasionally, special offers in the museum shop. Last year’s bus tour to three notable houses, Government House and the residences of the British High Commissioner and US Ambassador, is

an example of an event organised by the Friends committee to thank members for their ongoing support. At both Government House and Homewood, where the British High Commissioner lives, the group heard about the history of the houses and appreciated their art collections. Wairarapa artist Gavin Chilcott’s carpet design at Government House was especially interesting as Gavin is represented in the Aratoi collection with several prints. At the last stop of the day, US Ambassador Scott Brown and his wife Gail were exceptional hosts who made the Friends group feel at ease. While the artwork was enjoyable, Ambassador Brown’s private collection of music memorabilia was outstanding. He

even gave a solo electric guitar performance after referencing his encounters with KISS and his many other meetings with musicians of rock’n’roll fame. Pair that all up with the American-style spread of delicacies using ingredients

grown on the embassy property, and it was a day to remember. Part of the support that the Friends give to Aratoi includes a fund to grow and maintain the collection. This is extremely important for Aratoi so that it can keep supporting New

Zealand artists. Among Wairarapa artists whose works have been added to the collection through Friends’ fundraising are Stephen Allwood, Harry Watson and Paul Melser. In these times community support for all things local is at the forefront of our minds. We are looking around Wairarapa for the things we love and want to see thrive into the future. If you want to find out more about the Friends or would like to become a member, visit the Aratoi website and click on ‘Support’ at the top of the page. You can also receive information or join by asking at the Aratoi front desk. Individual membership is $40 a year. Every new member is helping to grow our important resource and Taonga - Aratoi.

The benefit of working together Next week is National Volunteer Week, an opportunity for us all to recognise and celebrate volunteers and volunteering. Running from June 21-27, organisations around the country are highlighting volunteers and their contributions – 159 million volunteer hours per year. This year’s theme is ‘Te Hua o te Mahi Tahi | The benefit of working together’. After Covid-19 and the experiences of lockdown, Volunteering New Zealand wanted to build on the theme of Student Volunteer Week – ‘Collective Impact: Give.Grow.Connect’, and emphasise the importance of building links to your community and working together to grow strength for yourself and for society. There’s a huge social impact of Mahi Aroha – work performed out of sympathy and caring for others. Through volunteering, people build and empower their

Donna Robinson communities and gain connections to people who share their interests, as well as people they’d never otherwise have met. Volunteers help us build the kind of world we want to live in. Volunteering Wairarapa is all about making volunteering easy and enabling everyone to work together better. We recognise the great importance of volunteering, both in keeping our community healthy and in giving

people an opportunity to give back, and we want to ensure everyone has a chance to be involved. In light of that, we’re always interested in new ways of operating that make things better for everyone. These aims align with perfectly with the mission of Be Collective – the online volunteering platform I mentioned in my last column. We’re excited to form a partnership with Be Collective,

and enjoy improved record keeping of volunteer contributions, more ways to show appreciation, and building a wider reach out into Wairarapa with better tools for collaboration with other groups. Be Collective makes it easy for individuals to see all their volunteering hours in one place and keep track of what they’ve done, the skills they’ve used and things they’ve learned. It gives groups a place to recruit and manage their volunteers, track what their volunteers have been doing for them and easily get data on the impact they’re having. By partnering with other Wairarapa groups using the platform, we build a strong interconnected web of services, with Volunteering

Wairarapa acting as the hub sending interested volunteers out to all groups. Volunteering Wairarapa will be launching our use of Be Collective next week as part of National Volunteer Week (check it out on our website www.waivc.org. nz!), and we are excited for the opportunities this will bring in the future.

How Willie Nelson wrote great songs Willie Nelson has had a music career that has spanned almost eight decades. He has written and performed songs that almost all of us know, and has had many of his songs covered by others. Many musicians have been inspired by him, crediting Nelson with having inﬂuenced their own styles. A story about Nelson was shared on the Mojo Radio Show. It tells of how Nelson has been able to write many of his great songs; how did he do it? He simply got into his car and drove. The task of driving enabled his mind to come up with ideas; he wasn’t listening to music, newsfeeds, talking to another person – he was simply just driving and while doing so he was able to come up with ideas for his songs. We live in a world of overstimulation, there is always something that we are doing, focusing on, or are highly aware of. We very rarely give ourselves the opportunity to just think and let our minds drift along. Take the time to switch oﬀ, just as Nelson did to come up with great ideas. This break from stimulation could be exactly what you need to come up with ideas, creative ideas, solutions to problems, and simply to

Midweek Musings

Tim Nelson give your mind a rest.

Why were you successful?

The author Robert Greene discusses the need to analyse your success in his book The Laws of Human Nature. The reason he gives for doing so is that it’s easy to become wrapped up in our own self-worth, thinking that the success you do have is entirely down to your own eﬀorts. However,

taking the time to reﬂect on success will enable you to see what other factors have played a part. For example, has the timing of a project been fortunate? Has a predecessor in your role done a lot of the initial work? Do you have a strong team around you? Acknowledging all factors in your successes will do two things: it will keep your feet on the ground, ensuring a certain level of humility as you

know that you haven’t done it on your own and you need the support of others; and it will enable you to utilise the same factors for future projects, leading to more success.

Why you did so well

There is a lot of evidence that feedback will lead to greater levels of success. There is also evidence that the type of feedback given is extremely important. One such example is that unearthed by psychologist Carol Dweck, who has highlighted the importance of focusing on eﬀort instead of ability, essentially giving the person receiving the

feedback the sense that they have influence over what they can achieve, as effort is something they have control over ... if the student wants to get better they can do so by trying harder. Author Matthew Syed takes a slightly different approach, suggesting that feedback should be based on the specific reason why something was done well. For example, a student learning to paint could be given feedback about a specific technique they have mastered, or a writer could be given feedback about the effective use of a language feature in their writing. This specific feedback gives the student a clear understanding of why they have been successful, with this knowledge leading to them repeating the action for continued improvement.

Pause, breathe, smile

I may have written about this before, but as I have also written, there is no harm in repeating things. Also, if I can’t remember writing it, many readers may not remember reading it. Additionally, repetition is beneﬁcial for learning. The Daily Calm meditation shared the need to pause before reacting when confronting situations that cause Continued on Page 18

Architect’s career spanned decades Continued from page 17

anger and frustration. The example given is the email that we want to respond to immediately, quickly crafting a reply then sending it oﬀ to argue the point or defend a position. In doing so there is often a sense of regret, as the reply was written and sent under a high level of stress. A better option is to pause, take in the information, then take the time to think about the response, drafting a reply to send later. This will give you time to fully consider your response, which may well be the same as the initial one you had, but at least now more time has been spent considering it. Even in the more immediate situations that cause high levels of stress, try to take the time to pause and breathe, as this can prevent overreacting. This ability to slow down in the moment can make the diﬀerence between a harmful and a constructive response.

Keep mentally active

Frank Lloyd Wright was one of history’s great architects. His career spanned decades, with his last great design being the Guggenheim Museum when he was 90 years old. This is 25 years after the retirement age, the time when he was supposed to stop working.

American architect Frank Lloyd Wright beside his model for the Guggenheim Museum, New York City in 1953. PHOTO/GETTY IMAGES

The case of Lloyd Wright is one that conﬁrms what so many know and beneﬁt from as they get older, this being the need to continue to mentally challenge yourself. You don’t need to be designing iconic museums, but It’s never too late to start learning something new, from a musical instrument to how to speak another language. I had the pleasure of speaking at a Probus group; here was a group of people post retirement who were socially active and mentally sharp. The impression I got was that they were passionate about learning. I’m not sure if there were any Lloyd Wrights in the room, but what I do know was that the venue was packed with a group of curios, intelligent and

interesting people.

Why we should exercise

Thinking back, the importance of exercise may be one of the topics I have written about most in the posts I have done on various platforms. The reasons why this is the case are most likely twofold: it’s an area I am passionate about; and there is an increasing number of science backed research articles about the topic. The beneﬁts of exercise applies to everyone, from the young to the old. For the young, research by Dr. Antronette Yancey has found that exercise helps children to pay better attention when learning; are less disruptive; feel better about themselves; have higher self-esteem;

less depression; and less anxiety. Wow, what an incredible list of benefits! To get these benefits there’s not a lot of complicated programmes to implement. Just two to three 20 minute aerobic sessions a week will reap the rewards. This is something anyone could do. Exercise isn’t something that everyone enjoys, but I do believe that the more of it we do, the more we come to enjoy it, or at least enjoy the benefits of exercising. Just start doing something small, perhaps a five minute walk to the corner of your street, then grow your habit from there.

How Derek Sivers got rich

Derek Sivers is an author, music producer, and the

creator of TED Talks that have had millions of views. Every time I listen to him speak or read his writing I learn something useful, inspirational, or both. This was certainly the case again when Sivers was a guest on an episode of the brilliant Mojo Radio Show podcast. In the episode he spoke about how he became rich. This is what he did: In his early 20s he rented an apartment with several others to keep the rent costs down. For the two years that followed he kept his expenses to a minimum, using no taxis, not eating out, having the most basic meals at home, and a range of other cost-cutting strategies. Doing this, despite earning a relatively low wage, he was able to save $12,000, enough to give him the security needed as a young man to do the things he wanted to do. Sivers makes a great point on the show; we can be rich at diﬀerent levels. Someone with lavish tastes will require a lot more to be rich than someone with more simple needs. This was why he was a rich man with $12,000, whereas others would get through the same amount, barely meeting their ‘needs’. With the impact of Covid-19 on the world, now is a good time to simplify our wants and needs to be ﬁnancially secure.

ELDER ABUSE HITS CLOSE TO HOME

10 TIPS

TO BE KIND AND STOP ELDER ABUSE 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

WORLD ELDER ABUSE Awareness Day 15 June

Love and cherish your older relatives / whānau. Phone, zoom or facetime older people / kaumātua. Visit older people / kaumātua in your neighbourhood. Involve older people / kaumātua in your social activities. Encourage older people / kaumātua to make their own decisions. Support older people / kaumātua to use their money for their needs. Honour older people’s / kaumātua’s wisdom. Enable older people / kaumātua to set their own pace. Speak respectfully and listen to older people’s / kaumātua’s stories. Seek advice from any Elder Abuse Service or Age Concern if you think an older person / kaumātua is being abused or neglected.

FACT: 81% of alleged abusers are family members. We need to face the facts that much of the abuse we see at Age Concern across New Zealand is at the hands of people we should be able to trust and ask for help from. FACT: 57% of the alleged abusers are adult children or grandchildren It is a myth to think that elder abuse is not family violence - it is! And like any family violence, we all need to step up and call it out and report it when we see or suspect it. Elder abuse is under-reported as often the shame of it being caused by a family member and the stigma, keeps older people quiet and that’s not ok.

If you suspect and an older person is not being treated well or want to report abuse, please call Age Concern Wairarapa Elder Abuse response Service on 06 929 7568 or the elder abuse helpline 0800 EA IS NOT OK (0800 32 668 65) for free and confidential support and information

Hackathon brings ideas When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The nagging part is that cliches contain at least a grain of truth otherwise they wouldn’t have become cliches. We’ve certainly had a few lemons come to us all this year, so how are we going to respond? Well, Marie-Claire and Amy from the 3Mile Coworking Space in Carterton thought that now was a good opportunity to ﬁnd out what out-of-the-box ideas our people might have and allow them to set up teams to make them a reality. The event was called a “Hackathon” (www. hackathonwairarapa.nz) and true to its name was a hack of a format that has been used and proven before. People with an idea had a minute to make their pitch and a minute to respond to questions. The rest listened and worked out which idea inspired them the most to get involved with. Then each “team” had 15 minutes to shape the idea and get a broad picture of how it might get done, what was missing, and what barriers there might be. After that report back from

What happened on the night? There were about 70 people in the room (incredibly, with no inducement of food and drink) from all over Wairarapa and about a dozen had an idea they wanted to pitch. The range of ideas was impressive. Here’s a sample. Raise our proﬁle as a premium wine region to attract more “wine tourists” as they spend

creativity, community, and practical education. Plan a regenerative, longterm tree planting scheme to reforest Wairarapa with native trees in groups and corridors that have the most beneﬁcial impacts. Form an organising group to co-ordinate the various business and tourism and industry bodies in Wairarapa to bring cohesion. Bring groups of high-worth Wellington people for foraging food adventures. Develop an interactive digital platform incorporating

artificial intelligence that promotes Wairarapa and allows people to participate virtually in events. A fleet of EV shuttles providing low-cost, clean transport in Wairarapa. A “dirt therapy” venue for many different off-road driving/biking experiences with food and camping. There may well have been more ideas, it was hard to keep track of them all. Hopefully there will be more hackathons. Wairarapa people aren’t short of ideas. Let’s work together to make them happen.

Art therapy is back on Aleyna Martinez

People who may be struggling with mental health after lockdown should be aware they are welcome to get involoved with King Street Artworks, said manager Ian Chapman. “In mental health, self-directed care is very important,” he said. It is only when people are at their lowest and struggling with mental health when someone in their circle will ask, “have you tried King Street?”. Aware that they serve mostly Masterton, Chapman said, “we are very Masterton-centric and we want to be in the lower part of Wairarapa. There’s lots of need down there”. The centre which focuses on art as therapy began 23 years ago and sought to serve the community as an alternative for patients who were suﬀering from depression but wanted an alternative to medication. Chapman said over the years they have managed to log outcomes for people proving “fewer visits to the GP, less visits to the emergency department and less reliance on medication”. Success happens when “people are feeling valued and connected”, Chapman said. “We’re not just a drop-in

He commends Wairarapa District Health Board for having the vision to fully fund the art centre and said it had always been “ahead of its time”. “Throughout covid, people were coming here and they may be venting about their power bills or the kids and things like that, there’s a lot of peer support here.” He expected there would be an increased need for more facilities like this as people started to recover from job losses in the community.

ISME PERMANENT COSMETICS NOW IN MASTERTON Isme Permanent Cosmetics, which has just opened at 14 Perry Street, is home to four professional technicians working in the cosmetic industry. Nicole Brown specialises in cosmetic tattooing, Jarrod Brown in laser tattoo removal, Kuini De La Mare in Cosmetics Injections, and Renee Burkhart in cosmetic tattooing and teeth whitening. All four are top technicians in their specialised fields so it was a natural fit when the four of them decided to bring their businesses together in one location in

the centre of Masterton’s CBD. Isme (pronounced is-me) is a professional but relaxed

environment, with a reception, waiting lounge, and separate treatment rooms for each business.

Nicole, Jarrod and Kuini are already working at the premises, while Renee is presently taking a maternity

break and will join them in the coming months. Nicole, Jarrod, Kuini and Renee all share the same

PRO BROWS BY NICOLE

EXIT TATTOO REMOVAL

THE GLOW UP

Nicole trained for a world renowned qualification in Melbourne in 2018 before setting up Pro Brows By Nicole in Masterton to become a reputable and well-known cosmetic tattooist specialising in eyebrows, lips and eyeliner tattooing. This is a specialised technique of depositing coloured pigments into the skin to enhance your natural features and appearance. The long lasting procedure is fast becoming one of the most popular beauty treatments available today. Nicole is passionate about creating beautiful eyebrows, lips, and eyeliners with the skills and experience her clients have come to love.

Jarrod Brown of Exit Laser Tattoo Removal is excited to be able to offer top quality Tattoo removal as a first for the Wairarapa. Fully trained and qualified in the process, Jarrod uses a Picosecond Laser tattoo removal machine. This emits light pulses at one trillionth of a second to break up the pigment particles under the skin. Laser removal shatters the ink particles under the skin and allows the white blood cells to latch on to these particles and dispose of them. This is a natural process as your body doesn’t like having foreign bodies hanging out in your skin, Jarrod points out. “That is why all tattoos fade over time.” To ensure your tattoo removal experience is as comfortable as possible,

Everyone deserves to feel their best and having beautiful glowing skin is one way to feel amazing every day, Kuini believes. A New Zealandregistered nurse for 12 years, Kuini trained in cosmetic injecting in 2018 before starting her own business. “My service is for people who want to step outside and feel good. That is why I called my business The Glow Up.” “As we get older it takes a little more effort to maintain glowing skin. It’s important to eat well, drink mostly water, use a sunscreen, have a good skin care routine, and not smoke. “But if you want to take it next level, line reducing injections are the best bang for your buck. You will notice smoother skin and less lines in just a few days after your first treatment.” Kuini uses three methods to achieve The Glow Up.

Many come for remedial work on poorly done cosmetic tattooing. Now there is the option to “remove and improve” your cosmetic tattoos at the same location with Jarrod of Exit Tattoo Removal lightening poorly done cosmetic tattooing and then Nicole improving them. Nicole is proud of the quality of her work and only uses quality products and tools manufactured by Goldeneye, a German based company. Previously to operating out of Isme Nicole worked from a private studio in Masterton. “I am so proud of the space we have created and am looking forward to seeing all my new and previous clients in our new premises.”

TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT ISME PERMANENT COSMETICS VISIT WWW.ISMECOSMETICS.CO.NZ

COSMETIC TATTOO

Jarrod uses a cooling machine to cool the skin layers before, during and after the laser has been applied. “It is noticeable how clients who are nervous before their first treatment, are much more relaxed afterwards.” Jarrod strives for the best results with the least amount of treatments but generally for complete removal clients should expect anywhere between six to ten treatments. Cover-ups are extremely popular and a quicker option, generally taking two to three treatments. Sometimes as little as one treatment will be enough to start the cover-up process. Jarrod is excited to be Masterton’s only top quality laser tattoo removalist and looks forward to helping the Wairarapa with their removal needs.

passion for achieving the best results for their clients. Each provides an individualized, superior cosmetic service using state-of-the-art technologies and quality products for the best results. All four grew up in the Wairarapa, and while they are committed to providing a world class standard of treatment, they remain firmly down to earth, as illustrated by the images on the windows of Isme which feature local young women taken by a local photographer.

One is Line Softening Injections. A tiny amount of Botulinum A is injected into the facial muscles, causing temporary relaxing. This dramatically reduces fine lines and wrinkles PLUS prevents new ones forming. The second is Collagen Inducing Microneedling which causes skin cells to make new collagen and elastin, which in turn makes your skin smoother, firmer and more glowing. Kuini also offers Lip Filler. Hyaluronic acid is injected into the lips which attracts water to itself and thus increases the lip volume. Kuini understands the importance of client confidentiality and trust. “I welcome all new clients for a free no obligations consultation to get to know you and your needs, I look forward to meeting and helping all people of all ages to gain their desired results.”

‘Trying out Mars …’

China’s Mars station in the Gobi Desert. PHOTO/GETTY IMAGES

I hope you got to see the launch of SpaceX by Space Exploration Technologies Corp – the ﬁrst private company to launch humans into space. It took two astronauts to the international Space Station and will hopefully return them safe and sound. It was the dream of creator and billionaire Elon Musk, who has his eyes set on the colonisation of Mars. Those are big eyes indeed, as humans have not even been back to the moon since 1972, though NASA is looking to send

Sky Watch

Nick Sault astronauts to the moon in a matter of three years from now. The trip to Mars is a far different prospect, many months of flight rather than a few days. That is the major obstacle, as the mechanics of getting away from Earth and then landing and taking off from Mars is not much different from a moon mission.

It is true, some astronauts have spent over a year on the ISS, but basically, the people on the ISS are just a few hundred kilometres from assistance if something goes wrong. China’s mock-up of their planned Mars station (see picture) means that Elon could have some serious competition. This week provides some opportunities to see

the ISS. On Monday, you need to be out at 6pm and looking in the north. At 6.01, the space station should appear not far above the horizon as it catches the rays of the sun that set for us about an hour previously. In the course of three minutes it will be in the northeast, have risen just a quarter of the way up the sky. It will then dip lower again before disappearing in the east just over a minute later. Better still is Tuesday evening, somewhat later at 6.49.

This appearance will be far brighter, and brighter than anything else in the sky at that time. The ISS will appear low over the NW horizon and travel high in the sky, reaching its highest point three minutes later in the SW. At that point it will disappear, having entered the Earth’s shadow. Monday is winter solstice, when we get the shortest period of daylight. The tilt of the Earth, on its invisible spinning-top axis, presents its worst aspect to the sun for all the southern hemisphere.

It means the sun will climb 47 degrees lower in the sky than it does at summer solstice in December. This of course, means that the golden orb has considerably more atmosphere to send its heat and light through. Add to that the short daylight time, due to the sun taking a lower trajectory across the sky, and winter is truly upon us. But heads up. Covid-19 is banished. Well done New Zealand. Next week: Venus is back, running with the bull.

PEEK @ PUKAHA

When nature speaks, we should listen Dear friends, Did you know that in pre-colonial times, many indigenous cultures throughout the world relied on nature to guide their decisions? It was a time when many people were very closely attuned to the natural world and would use it to interpret and determine their everyday life. One fascinating aspect is that some of these earlier cultures believed that nature could reveal the answers to all of life’s questions, provided one was patient enough to observe the lesson and then intuitive enough to correctly interpret the takeout. The best among them undoubtedly became shaman and were considered very wise. Today’s rangers at Pūkaha, whether we know

it or not, tap into these ancient skills by being acutely aware of the wildlife that we are entrusted to care for. It’s fair to say that the closer we are to nature and the more experiences that we have with wildlife, the more intuitive we become. Here’s a small example. The week before last we released four of our red-crowned kākāriki into their forever home at Cape Sanctuary – a fenced predator-free reserve in Hawke’s Bay. The parakeets first get released into a caged enclosure hidden within the reserve, so they can acclimatise to their new surroundings. Two weeks later the door to that

enclosure is left open and the parakeets are free to fly away, into the uncaged forest reserve to hopefully meet and breed with other

wild kākāriki. What was special about this release was just how right it felt. Wild kākāriki of the same species visited our parakeets at a distance, several times on the opposite side of the temporary cage. It was magical. We could feel the excitement and inquisitiveness of all the birds. But we nearly missed it. The communication between the parakeets was that delicate. A signal from nature telling us that releasing these parakeets into the wild was the right thing to do. Confirming that our captive release work is making a difference.

The beneÿ ts of working together Te Wiki Tuao a-Motu national volunteer week

National Volunteer Week 2020 runs from Sunday 21st to Saturday 27th June. This year’s theme is “Te Hua o te Mahi Tahi The beneÿ t of working together.” The power and potential of volunteering, Mahi Aroha and social action shines through at times when our communities are stretched and challenged. New Zealand’s COVID-19 response has highlighted courage and kindness in uniting together.

Volunteer Statistics

• Approximately 21.5% of New

Zealanders undertake volunteer work. • The value of formal volunteering is estimated at $4 billion per annum. • New Zealanders contribute a total of around 159 million hours of formal volunteer labour each year to organisations. • Typically, rates of volunteering for those who are employed are higher than those who are unemployed or not in the labour market, with the exception is those over 65 years old.

This year volunteers also played an important part in the organisation’s Covid-19 response. “Before lockdown in March we had to make the tough decision to close our homes to visitors, including volunteers. In doing so, we got so many messages of support and offers of help from our amazing volunteers,” says General Manager External Relations Alisha Kennedy.

in the community – there was a huge need for practical support, like food parcels and welfare checks for isolated elderly people and vulnerable families across the region,” says Alisha. Volunteer Programmes Adviser Elena Rowan says during this period many people who hadn’t volunteered with Enliven before put their hand up to help. “We had about 10 people delivering food parcels – there was a lot of interest in helping.” More than 200 parcels went out to households in Wellington, Wairarapa, Horowhenua and Manawatu.

“These callers provided a friendly voice at the end of the phone for some elders who may have been feeling isolated due to the restrictions that were in place,” Elena says. “The volunteer callers really helped to support others in their community even though they had to stay at home.” • To express your interest in volunteering with Enliven, Family Works or parent organisation PSC, email volunteers@psc.org.nz or phone 04 439 4922. • To learn more about Enliven Central, visit www.enlivencentral.org.nz.

national volunteer week | 21-27 June 2020

TO ALL THE VOLUNTEERS WHO MADE THIS, AND EVERY YEAR SO MUCH EASIER FOR OUR COMMUNITY, A HUGE

THANK YOU

Carterton’s Caring Community How would we have got through the Covid lockdown without our amazing community of volunteers?

Whether you are from an organised community group, or someone who helped out a neighbour, this thank you is for you. The announcement made on Monday 23rd March that in 48 hours the whole of New Zealand would go into lockdown for at least four weeks is one not many of us will forget. How quickly our district sprang into action. Community neighbourhood support groups initiated their phone and email trees, new groups were formed nearly over night, food bank ensured there was enough stock to help our vulnerable families if the need arose, and some quick-thinking locals set up the Wairarapa Self Isolation support group on Facebook.

It would be hard for us to list all the groups and individuals who volunteered through the lockdown, and continue to do so while we all step into the new phase of rebuilding our district. On behalf of every member of staff, and our elected ofÿ cials, Carterton District Council asks that all the volunteers who kept us calm and safe, take this as a personal thank you for all you did and still do.

FROM EVERYONE AT CARTERTON DISTRICT COUNCIL FOR ALL THAT Red Cross volunteers - here for good YOU DO Throughout the Covid lockdown we were proud to watch our community come together. Stories of neighbour helping neighbour and old and young supporting each other came through all the time. It was heart-warming that through so much tragedy, so much good came through.

“Volunteers are not paid, not because they are worthless but because they are priceless”. That is most certainly true for our more than 250 volunteers working tirelessly for the Red Cross across Wairarapa.

Without our volunteers, the Red Cross could not run its humanitarian programmes and touch the lives of many within our community. In my opinion, volunteering is a win-win situation. Not only are you providing vital help to people in need, but the volunteer gets to meet different kinds of people, make new friends and be part of a community. The sense of purpose and achievement is huge. Without our volunteer drivers we would not be able to provide a “koha” community transport service. Not only do they take people to their

medical appointments, they also collect members of a Parkinson’s support group to take them to a weekly exercise class.

As one of the drivers recently said of his volunteering work, “My motivation is just to be doing something, volunteering is a good part of my life.” Volunteering can also be done from the comfort of your arm chair. We have a strong knitting group who knit slippers, which then get distributed to the schools around Wairarapa. We also distribute baby bonnets, beanies, scarves and jumpers throughout the community. We’re here for good. Jo McDonald - Humanitarian Development Engagement Manager – Wairarapa Red Cross

The New Zealand Red Cross would like to extend a huge Thank You TO ALL OUR MEMBERS AND VOLUNTEERS IN THE WAIRARAPA for giving your time and energy to help deliver programmes and services in the local community. We would also like to thank those from the community who stepped up to assist with delivering Meals on Wheels in both Greytown and Masterton during Covid-19.

THANK YOU Kia ora, To all our volunteersâ&#x20AC;Ś.the last two months have without doubt been a very busy period for you all. And I know the hard work will be ongoing as we continue to support our community to rebound from COVID-19. It takes a special person to give up their time to help others. We wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been able to get through the COVID-19 lockdown without your valuable time and commitment. Thank you. While our Emergency Operations Centre involved a lot of Council staff, the back-up from volunteers was a crucial part of the response. I hope that you have been able to take some time to spend with your friends and family. Beyond COVID-19, volunteers play a role in partnering with Council on some great projects. Our public assets like Henley Lake and Queen Elizabeth Park benefit from having passionate volunteers amid our community. Thank you all for the time and effort you put into our local community, it really is that community spirit that makes Masterton the place I am proud to call home. Nga mihi, Lyn Patterson.

Dr Nick Crozier

In the 1990’s I was seeing so much cancer in my general practice at the medial level and I realised then that our cancer community needed support, psychologically and practically. I joined the Cancer Society as a Volunteer in the early 1990’s on their governance Executive Board. This role I still have, was to steer the local Society to initiate and sustain its support services to patients through counselling, transport etc…filling the gaps that the established medical fraternity can’t provide by reducing the impact of being diagnosed with cancer. I still believe in the Cancer Society’s place in this community and the link we have to Wellington for providing free accommodation for cancer patients next to the treatment hospital:

They stood out as local heroes. We thank them for their time and commitment to ensuring those who needed it got to treatment.

studied in Zimbabwe (Rhodesia), worked in South Africa and arrived in New Zealand in 1988. Married with three grown children, Nick says ending up in Masterton was the luck of the draw. Nick started his studies with a BSc in Agriculture followed by an MSc in Biochemistry and then progressed to formal qualifications in medicine. He has completed a Diploma in Occupational Health and works regularly with Accident Compensation Corporation. He has been on the Cancer Society Executive Board for over 25 years. Nick likes to fish, wood turn, and contemplate life as a philosophy class tutor.

Unfortunately we are all touched by cancer and I had two close family members taken by cancer. Cancer affects a lot of people, but the Society has a mission to reduce the impact of cancer on patients and families. We are a practical organisation and receive no Government funding meaning we rely heavily on fundraising to sustain our service but more importantly volunteers to enable us to provide services that are now considered essential.

Wellington Free Ambulance Event volunteer medic Brian Veitch.

“We want to make Wairarapa and Wellington the safest place in New Zealand to have a cardiac arrest by ensuring everyone in our community knows how to do CPR,” he says. The highlight of his volunteer work is meeting the public. “They are generally so happy to see us and not just when they need help, they thank us for covering the event.” The Wairarapa College English teacher says his ÿ rst responder training has come in handy at school for students with sporting injuries, broken legs and dislocated knees.

Our hardworking volunteers work with our youth programme, drive the health shuttle that takes people to their medical appointments in the region, help provide medical coverage at the numerous events held around this wonderful region, work in our Masterton op shop, and provide a soothing and caring voice through our Caring Caller scheme.

Brian says volunteering for Wellington Free is like being part of a large team.

$1m funding, 10 new jobs Gianina Schwanecke It’s a drop in the ocean, but 10 new Wairarapa jobs will come from recentlyannounced funding from the Provincial Growth Fund for road and rail improvements across the country. On Monday, the government announced $60 million worth of funding for councils and KiwiRail to create new employment opportunities through road and rail improvements. Wairarapa will receive $1m of this for tree removal and maintenance on high-risk roads across the region. While Wairarapa Road Safety Council manager Bruce Pauling did not yet know which roads this funding would go towards, he said any extra funding was a welcomed boost. “Road maintenance and improvement does suffer quite a bit, so any funding from NZTA to make roads more navigable or visible, especially with trees on our rural roads, is great.” Unruly trees along roadsides can impede visibility or damage footpaths and road shoulders when the roots grow up, he said. Pauling said it would also help the region with the economic recovery

from covid-19. “The sooner we can get the funding the sooner we can get that shovel-ready work started, both for road improvements and job creation.” Regional Economic Development Minister Shane Jones said the purpose of the funding was to soften the impact

on workers and businesses in some of the most affected areas, and in sectors where jobs have been lost and most in need of support. “The local councils and KiwiRail projects are providing vital support to regional economies as the PGF refocuses on projects that will provide

immediate jobs, can start immediately and have high visibility to boost public confidence in the economic recovery.” It is also hoped that further jobs will be created through rail projects totalling $26m which will take place along rail lines from the Waikato to Wairarapa,

and in Canterbury, West Coast and OtagoSouthland and create about 200 jobs. This includes drain and culvert condition surveys, culvert cleaning and maintenance, vegetation control, and drainage renewals and improvements which may start early next month.

and wellbeing of New Zealand’s hill country farmers, their farm systems, the environment and rural communities. The Hill Country Futures programme differs from most pastoralbased research in that it considers the whole-farm system and, critically, the wider communities these systems exist within. The programme incorporates traditional science research, farmer knowledge, social research and citizen science. The programme is cofunded by B+LNZ, Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment, Seed Force New Zealand and PGG Wrightson Seeds. The science providers are AgResearch, Beef + Lamb New Zealand, Cameron Ludemann Consulting, Ecosystem Consultants, Kunzea Ltd, Lincoln University, Massey University, Manaaki Whenua (Landcare Research), On-farm Research and Plant & Food Research.

Rosie and Matt Carter in the retail section of their paua factory. PHOTO/FILE

Iconic paua shop closing Aleyna Martinez The retail side of Paua World in Carterton will close at the end of June. Six workers, not all full time, have been made redundant as a result. General manager Rosie Carter said a deciding factor was the loss of foot traﬃc. She pointed to New Zealand border closures painting a bleak outlook for the family owned business. “Keeping the shop open [is] unsustainable,” she said. Mayor Greg Lang said, “it is a big loss for the community, but I know Paua World will reinvent themselves as they have done in the past”. Lang said he had been in talks with Matt Carter and understood the closure was because of the borders being closed. “I really appreciate the position that they’re in and I know Paua World has done everything they can,” Lang said. There are about 30,000 international visitors to Paua World each year. Rosie said over the years, “the business has weathered many bumps,

but always managed to bounce back”. “Covid-19 is by far the biggest setback that we have had to deal with.” Regarding redundancies, Lang said through the recovery work being done for Carterton because of covid-19 there were opportunities to reskill people. “The three mayors are working hard together with the four iwi identities to address this.” Paua World plans to “refocus their business on a more domestic market and trading under its parent company, NZ Dimensionz”, Rosie said. NZ Dimensionz is a leading manufacturer of products made from paua shell, mother of pearl, greenstone, bone, and other materials for over 40 years. Products are sold all over the world. Rosie said the business would continue to produce a range of goods centred around its core business. In addition, the factory has a water jet, printers and lasers and can customise products for smaller production runs for promotional purposes. Founded by Rob and

Matt Carter in Masterton in 1979, Paua World moved to Carterton a few years later setting up in a purpose-built factory on the edge of the town belt. When the Carterton factory was opened many people questioned whether or not people would visit somewhere in “the back streets of Carterton”, Rosie said. “Tourism was only just starting in Wairarapa back in those days, and how we proved them wrong. “We would like to thank all our loyal local customers for their support and patronage of our store. “Many of you have brought your overseas guests for a visit on a regular basis or passed on the word to overseas friends; local support has been an integral part of our journey. “Over the years we have had amazing staﬀ who have hosted visitors with the warmth that New Zealanders are known for. “We thank them all for being part of the Paua World story, it took all of you to create a place that became almost as iconic as the paua itself.”

The fight for Doctor Who

Wai Write

Calvin Winterbottom

On November 23, 1963, Doctor Who the longest running Science Fiction show of all-time started and become a British institution and worldwide success. The TV show though has survived many scares especially from the people in control of the programme. So now to put facts to the fiction of Doctor Who. William Hartnell was chosen as the first Doctor by the producer Verity Lambert because she wanted a strong matriarch figure. The first story has The Doctor’s granddaughter Susan and two of her teachers from Coal Hill School whisked away in The Doctor’s time machine called the Tardis, to the stone age. In Williams second story we met the enemies that would become The Doctor’s ultimate nemesis, The Daleks. In 1966 William was feeling the strain so instead of killing off the programme the programme makers came up with the idea that The Doctor could change his entire body, this became known as Regeneration. A new enemy called the Cybermen confronted

Actor William Hartnell pictured during rehearsals in May 1965. PHOTO/GETTY IMAGES

The Doctor and caused the regeneration into the second Doctor, Patrick Troughton. By 1969 the BBC thought that the TV figures for Doctor Who were too low and considered taking the series off air, it was reprieved so they regenerated the Doctor again and started making the series in colour, meaning in 1970, Jon Pertwee became the third Doctor. During Jon’s reign as The Doctor we were introduced to a character called The Master, like The

Doctor he is a rebel and renegade Time Lord who ran away to have freedom. Jon was a resounding success but decided to leave the show in 1974 so later that year Jon regenerated into Tom Baker. At the height of Baker’s reign as The Doctor he was getting viewing figures of over 25 million people [nearly five times the population of New Zealand]. After seven years in the part Baker left the show and a regeneration into Peter Davison took place.

Davison when he signed said he would only do a few series and in 1984 after three years he left. This led to Colin Baker becoming the sixth Doctor. After Baker did one year of Doctor Who the producers tried to kill off the programme, but due to public and media pressure by fans like myself the BBC brought it back. Baker got another season but was then sacked without reason. It was now 1987 and the seventh Doctor, played by Sylvester McCoy, took over, unfortunately again the producers had their knives out for the show and decided to schedule it against Coronation Street. The BBC’s plan worked and in 1989 they killed off the programme claiming lack of viewers – the show was still getting viewing figures of over four million, this though is exactly what they had intended by putting it against Coronation Street. Fans though knew what they had done and campaigned for the series to continue. Our persistence managed to get a TV movie made in 1996 were we saw McCoy regenerate into the eight Doctor, Paul McGann. Despite this, fans continued their fight to return Doctor Who to our

screens and eventually in 2005 they succeeded when Christopher Eccleston became The Doctor. Eccleston regenerated into David Tennant and during his time we met a character called The War Doctor. The War Doctor, played by John Hurt, is the regeneration of The Doctor between McGann and Eccleston. When Tennant decided to vacate the role Matt Smith took over in 2013, which was Doctor Who’s Golden anniversary. Peter Capaldi who took over from Smith decided to vacate the role a few years ago and handed the role of The Doctor to Jodie Whittaker. Doctor Who, has survived so long due to obsessive fans like me, better known as Whovians. To end I pose you a question: Would you fight a corporation to save a TV show, like I have on more than one occasion?

Following the news that Wairarapa’s very own ‘Coggie’ [Chris Cogdale] would be off the airwaves for the first time since 1992, ARTHUR HAWKES spoke to the veteran sports broadcaster about his life behind the microphone.

Reminiscing on his 28-year radio career, Coggie summed it all up by saying “I’ve got no regrets”, a precious thing after his quarter-century in broadcast journalism, which has now come to an end following 130 Mediaworks redundancies. Born in Wellington, he grew up on the Kapiti Coast, and later Auckland, before he found himself back in the capital aged 18, where he played rugby regularly, and was introduced to cricket a few years later. “I played ... but not very well,” he said. Early on, Coggie worked in insurance,

and was eventually transferred to Masterton in 1983. Here, he would later become chairman of Wairarapa Cricket; he’s umpired the sport for the last 23 years. His radio career began with him phoning in local cricket reports to Wairarapa’s local radio station, then called Today FM. “During one of the games, Central Districts v Northern Districts, I was doing reports every half hour or so. “It was very much a local radio station and they wanted to know what was going on. “After the match, Paul Henry [the station owner] rang me asking if I wanted a part-time job doing the sport.” He later found out

that Trevor Martin, who worked at Today FM, had put a word in to Henry about Coggie’s natural talent for sports journalism. As ownership was shifted to Port FM, where the station went by the name Hitz89 FM, then to 2XS, and then to Radioworks, where the station was ﬁnally rebranded as More FM, Coggie would interview hundreds of household names in sport, but shared day one in radio with a kiwi icon of a diﬀerent kind. “I started work on the same day as Hilary Pankhurst, now Hilary Barry – she was a journo, I was just doing part-time sport. I can even give you the exact date: January 6, 1992.

“This consisted of a morning sports bulletin, and a sports show on a Sunday morning. “Once the rugby season came we developed a rugby show called ‘Rattle Yer Cans Rugby’, which consisted of Paul Henry, myself, and local rugby identity Mark Benton.” Coggie, Henry and Benton developed a movable feast, taking the

morning show to pubs and clubs, and talking rugby over a cooked breakfast, where they’d be joined by a diﬀerent guest each week. Henry then sold Today FM in mid-1992, and Coggie was oﬀered a fulltime job under the new owners. “It then became a Saturday sports show, with a bit of a Sunday

“To me, he was a hero – when I was a little kid growing up, he was a god, the best in the world.” Looking back on his career, Coggie said he was sad to be leaving the airwaves after such a long stint, but he had nothing but good memories. “I want to acknowledge some of the long-term contributors like Phil Rutene [26 years], rugby commentator Grant Nisbett [22 years], Dean Goodin [20 years], Matt Spooner [20 years], Chris Grant [15 years], Ces Newton [10 years or more], and many others. “The thing I take from it is how passionate people are for their sport - and it didn’t matter the sport. “That’s the thing that came through for me most of all, the passion from the people who did the presenting, and the knowledge that they had of their sport. “That’s the incredible thing - you take a lot of memories away from that.” Coggie continues to write for the Wairarapa Times-Age, and still runs his successful quiz night business, which has been going strong since 1997.

Coggie puts down the mic

shoulder rubbing was literal, particularly when he and good mate Phil Rutene interviewed Hurricanes’ prop ‘Big Bill’ Cavubati. Superbike rider Aaron Slight was one of the ﬁrst people Coggie ever had on, and the two developed a good relationship over the course of Slight’s riding career. “In 2000, he had to have urgent surgery for a brain bleed, and he came to me after he’d recovered and said ‘I’d like to do an interview with you, and it’s the only radio interview I’m going to do’.” Coggie has ridden in powerboats going 160kmh on the Ruamahanga diversion, raced around Masterton’s streets in sprint cars, played touch rugby with Sean Fitzpatrick on a closed Queen St, interviewed netball legend Irene van Dyk, the footballer Paul Iﬁll, as well as numerous All Blacks such as Zinzan Brooke, Colin Meads, Jonah Lomu and Christian Cullen, to name just a few. He said one of the biggest draws was meeting the middle-distance runner Peter Snell.
