Tune in for mental health Erin Kavanagh-Hall

MORE POWER MORE SPACE MORE LUXURY MORE TECH

A Masterton teenager is taking to the airwaves to continue a pressing, and sometimes uncomfortable conversation – youth mental health. Seni-Isaia Iasona, an aspiring broadcaster and Year 12 student at Makoura College, will be hosting a 24-hour radio marathon, to be broadcast live on the college’s own station, East FM, from this Friday morning. On air, Seni, 17, will use his time in the disc jockey’s chair to raise awareness of mental health diﬃculties and their impact on New Zealand youth. He will be hosting discussions with fellow students, sharing their thoughts and experiences of mental health struggles, and has organised a line-up of guest speakers, from Wairarapa and beyond. For the past few years, the subject of mental illness has been up close and personal for Wairarapa – particularly so when the region boasted the unhappy honour of having the second highest suicide rate in the country, per head of population, in 2016/17. The Makoura College community itself was shaken last

MORE CR-V

How can young people like us get help, if we’re scared of being judged and getting negative feedback? July, when a former student took her own life. Seni said he wanted to use the radio marathon as an opportunity to “open the door” and have an honest dialogue about mental health – and to lead by example to remove the stigma from the struggle. “We know Masterton has a high suicide rate, and the mental health system in New Zealand is under-funded,” Seni said. “But we can’t wait for the government and money to ﬁx the problem. “Change comes from us young people as well – we have to be the ones to carry on the conversation and normalise things like anxiety and depression. “How can young people like us get help, if we’re scared of being judged and getting negative feedback?” Seni said he became more aware of mental illness this year, after taking dance as a subject for NCEA. For an assessment, his class

choreographed and performed contemporary dance routines with a mental health theme – with Seni dancing in a duet representing bipolar disorder, and in a group piece portraying Alzheimer’s. He and his classmates performed the latter routine at the recent DanceNZ Made Interschool Competition, representing Makoura, which he said was well received. This, along with 24-hour radio shows he had listened to on ZM, inspired Seni to host a radio show for Mental Health Awareness Week. With support from Makoura Media Studies teacher Andrew Hutchby and principal Paul Green, he began organising the programme for East FM, contacting guest hosts and arranging sponsors. So far, he has invited a range of famous voices to appear on the show, including Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, Wairarapa List MPs Kieran McAnulty and Ron Mark, and the Green Party’s Chloe Swarbrick, as well as various community mental health workers.

Mothers in labour left in the dark

Wairarapa mothers in labour were left without a secondary care expert for two 24-hour periods last week. PHOTO/FILE

Cal Roberts An absent obstetrician left Wairarapa Hospital without a secondary care expert for mothers in labour for two 24-hour periods last week. Wairarapa District Health Board communications manager, Anna Cardno, conﬁrmed there was no local obstetric cover from Monday to Tuesday last week and

8am Friday to 8am Saturday the week prior. Another 24-hour gap was due to begin last Thursday but was resolved by the DHB. The Wairarapa TimesAge was alerted to the issue by a concerned resident who suggested the hospital’s obstetrician had taken leave “not to take a holiday and relax” but to undertake a locum cover in

another part of the country “for a huge sum of cash”. Cardno said responsibility for leave approval rested with the DHB’s executive leader of operations, but staﬀ on leave were not required to disclose their activity. “Detailed processes were in place with lead maternity carers to escalate women to Hutt Valley DHB as necessary,”

Cardno said, of the earlier absences, adding that originally gaps in the roster were ﬁlled with a doctor from outside the region. “A locum obstetrician was booked to cover this period but, disappointingly, withdrew at short notice leaving the service without cover,” she said. Midwifery advisor at

the New Zealand College of Midwives, Lesley Dixon, said having no local obstetrician on hand created challenges for new-borns and mothers at the hospital. “Midwives and obstetricians work collaboratively, with obstetricians consulted if the woman develops complications during birth.

“This is concerning for midwives because if a woman develops or requires obstetric care she will need to transfer during labour to another facility.” One woman was transferred out of Wairarapa Hospital to Wellington during a gap in obstetric cover, but Cardno said the matter was unrelated to the roster issues.

Hosting raw discussions about mental health Continued from page 1 He has secured sponsorship from the Copthorne Solway Park, which has oﬀered prizes for East FM listeners, Masterton District Council, The Farriers, Breadcraft, The Clareville Bakery, and Berocca, which will be providing drinks to help Seni and guests stay lively until the show wraps. “I’ve never stayed up for a whole 24 hours – 4am has probably been the latest.” Seni says he looks forward to having “some raw and real discussions” about mental health, and

the pressures faced by young people, with his teen co-hosts. He says he has noticed his peers grapple with anxiety and depression and believes this is worsened by the prevalence of social media. “Young people are dependent on social media, like Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat, and there’s that pressure to put on a perfect image to your friends and the world. “We want to get the message out there that it’s actually okay to be vulnerable – it’s okay not to be okay.”

There will also be some more light-hearted conversations and games to lift the mood. “We don’t want to be down in the dumps the whole time.” Media Studies teacher Andrew Hutchby says he was “very proud” of Seni’s initiative and heart for his community. “As a teacher, it makes the job easier when there are motivated students who want to be successful. “Seni recognises that mental health, especially for youth, is a big problem in our society, and wants to do his part. “Not many younger

people would put themselves forward in this way. “I hope Seni inspires other students at Makoura to be more active in their communities.” Seni hopes to work in radio broadcasting and is doing work experience with Mediaworks through Makoura’s Gateway programme. • The East FM 24-hour marathon will run from 9am on Friday, October 19, to 9am Saturday, October 20, on 88.1FM. • The show will also be livestreamed on the Makoura College Facebook page.

Protecting victims of violence Emily Ireland Police are called to attend domestic violence incidents every four minutes in New Zealand. And according to ChangeAbility manager Jeremy Logan, there are about 20 to 30 domestic violence callouts each week in Wairarapa. Logan was one of four panellists in a discussion about the recently passed Domestic Violence – Victims’ Protection Bill last Friday night in Masterton. The bill was initiated by Green MP Jan Logie who was also on the panel, along with Green Party advocate John Hart, and Ben Roe, who has attended as a participant in a nonviolence programme with ChangeAbility. The Domestic Violence – Victims’ Protection Bill passed its third reading in Parliament in July with it passing 63 votes to 57 (Labour, NZ First, and the Greens supported the bill, National and ACT were opposed). The new law, which will come into force on April 1, 2019, requires employers to give victims of domestic violence up to 10 days leave from work, separate from annual leave and sick leave entitlements. It also allows domestic violence victims the opportunity to request flexible working arrangements. Logie said the bill

represents a new approach and in her work with the bill, many victims had come forward to share their stories with her. A “heartbreaking” submission was from a nurse. “There had been ongoing violence and she was using her leave to manage it. “She had two kids and her partner had raped and beaten her and a family member came to get her out. “She wasn’t in a position to go back to work but didn’t have any more leave.

“She called her employer and her employer said she should go find another job. No unpaid leave, nothing.” Logie said she had also supported another woman who had left her abusive partner and whose employer would not relocate her to another worksite. “She needed her job, but [her ex-partner] knew where she worked, he knew her hours of work, and she was absolutely a sitting duck. “He had people out looking for her. “I remember calling

her – I drove her to work that night . . . we were both scared. “She ended up going back to him the next day because at least she knew where he was in the house when she was there. “She actually felt like she had more ability to manage her and her children’s safety in the house with him than she did leaving. “Women are more likely to be murdered six months after leaving, so she was right. “But if that employer had changed her location

and adjusted, she wouldn’t have been the sitting duck that she was.” ChangeAbility manager Jeremy Logan said in his 20 years working with victims of family violence, he had seen an increase in self-referring men. “Most of the men we are talking about, they don’t want to harm their partners or have their children witnessing the violence.” Fellow panellist Ben Roe has been through courses at ChangeAbility in Masterton and is in the process of becoming a

programme facilitator. “I was never physical, but you don’t have to be physical to be violent,” he said. He described himself as “a nice guy, a great dad, a good husband, and a good friend”. Through the course, he identified there were triggers that sent him into a spiral of “anger and rage” — “my brain starts to go quick, I’m getting hot, and I can feel myself getting short with people”. He said, now that he had the tools and was able to better understand his emotions, he and his family were in a better place. He said he now will often go off by himself for a few minutes to “just breathe”. “It’s like my whole day is different now because I took that time out to recognise what was going on. “The course was incredibly life-changing. “It saved my marriage, which in turn is going to keep my family together which means my children are going to grow up with a mum and dad which is a great thing.” John Hart said there was a huge need for social and cultural change in New Zealand if there was to be an improvement in family relationships. He was proud to be a supporter of the Domestic Violence – Victims’ Protection Bill.

$300,000 in cannabis taken off the street Cannabis with a potential street value of up to $300,000 has been pulled off the streets following a drug bust in Greytown. About a hundred cannabis plants were seized from a residential property last Thursday night. “It was a fairly substantial commercial cannabis growing enterprise,” Detective Sergeant Matt Wasson, of

It was a fairly substantial commercial cannabis growing enterprise.

the Criminal Investigation Branch, said. “It was evident the occupant had been growing cannabis for a lengthy period of time.” Wasson said most of the

plants were fully grown, and some were seedlings. In February last year, 350 cannabis plants were removed by police from a nearby Greytown property. Wairarapa Area Commander Inspector Scott Miller said a fullygrown cannabis plant could have a street value of $3000, and each plant had the potential to produce three harvests a

year, depending on how high-tech the growing operation was. A man at the Greytown property was arrested and is facing charges. The plants were being destroyed, Wasson said. Information provided from members of the public had led to the drug bust, as well as the seizure of firearms in Carterton in an unrelated matter. Wasson said a search

warrant was executed on Friday morning at the Carterton property and two men, who were also involved in drugs, were arrested. “Members of the public had called police about the activities going on at the property.” Wasson said police treated incidents involving both illegal firearm possession and drugs “very seriously”.

“The combination can have serious consequences.” The men are also facing charges in court, he said. The police say if anyone is aware of illicit drug activity or other crime they’re encouraged to call the police Masterton station on (06) 370 0300 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Nanogirl to feature at Wings Over Wairarapa

Nationally and internationally acclaimed Nanogirl will be entertaining the crowds at Wings over Wairarapa Air Festival 2019 as part of the science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) activities on the ground. The STEM activities are all linked to aviation and will be held across all three days of the Air Festival. Nanogirl is an explosive, engaging, entertaining and educational live performance programme. Nanogirl, created by Joe Davis and Dr Michelle Dickinson MNZM, is a social enterprise aiming to inspire, educate and empower people through science, technology, science and math. Dickinson is passionate about sharing her views that science doesn’t have to happen in a classroom

at school, but instead that science is everywhere and for everyone. Wings over Wairarapa operations and exhibitor manager, Chris Tracey said securing Nanogirl as part of the groundside entertainment was a coup. “Their work is funny, engaging and inspirational. “The way they teach is very clever; they bring science and engineering to life in the coolest ways possible. “You get so wrapped up in the performance, leave with a big smile on your face and more than that, you’ve learnt something. “Having Nanogirl as part of the Air Festival will be a huge draw card for us. “They will complement all of the other STEM activities on the ground across the three days. “Our activities are

engaging, hands on, interactive and celebrate all things aviation.” The Wings over Wairarapa Air Festival is the largest aviation event in the North Island. In 2019 they will celebrate their 20th year of operating air festivals. It will be held over three days, February 22, 23, 24, and will feature WWI, WWII aircraft, modern military, agricultural, helicopters, gliders and civil aircraft on display and in the skies. They also have, for the first time, a Saturday Night Show featuring the UK ‘Airborne Pyrotechnics’ gliding team. Groundside features dedicated zones for technology, space, rocketry, drones, family entertainment, food and beverage and retail.

Freeing Iwi the Kiwi Hayley Gastmeier New Zealand’s iconic hot air balloon Iwi the Kiwi has been returned to its rightful owner after being held for a ransom in the United States. Owner and renowned balloonist Rick Walczak, originally from Carterton, would not disclose how much he paid for last week’s return of his sevenstorey balloon. “But we did pay a considerable amount to get him back,” he told the Wairarapa Times-Age, adding “there was a lot of negotiating” involved. Iwi the Kiwi went missing almost ﬁve months ago en route from the United Kingdom to Taiwan. Walczac, who is now living in Chile, said there were still many questions left unanswered about how the $100,000 balloon ended up in America. “It’s like a big jigsaw puzzle. We’re piecing it together – where he went and how we got him back . . . it’s all a bit of a mystery.” He had not ruled out the ordeal being of a sinister nature and said the full story would be revealed in the coming weeks. The world-wide search for the kiwi-shaped balloon had been a

stressful and expensive time for Walczac. He was ecstatic to receive confirmation that Iwi was safely delivered last week by a third party to Los Angeles. The balloon’s serial numbers were being checked off. Once it was confirmed that all parts of the balloon were accounted for, Iwi would undergo an inspection to regain his “warrant of fitness” to fly. Walczac said had it not been for the media’s pressure to have the balloon released, it would probably have been sold for parts. “I would have lost a lot if I’d lost Iwi the Kiwi, that would have probably been my career gone.” Walczac said he taught himself to fly balloons by reading books more than 40 years ago. Back then, there was no one to teach him in person, with just three balloons in New Zealand. He has owned about six balloons in his life, and he was involved in the Wairarapa Balloon Festival in its early days. He hopes to have Iwi back in the region next year for the Wairarapa Balloon Festival’s 20th anniversary (April 18-22, 2019).

Hay fever in the air Cal Roberts Spring is in the air, or more specifically, pollen. The onset of hay fever and allergy ailments caused by an overreaction to grasses and pollen has arrived in Wairarapa earlier than expected this year. Wairarapa DHB communications manager Anna Cardno said hay fever in the region was “particularly bad” recently. Wairarapa Hospital staff and patients are feeling the effects with running noses, sneezes and watery eyes. While blooming flowers are brightening up the hospital, Wairarapa DHB has asked people bringing flowers for patients to try and limit bouquets to non-allergen blooms and avoid the usual, highpollen suspects like lilies, sunflowers and jasmine. Allergy sufferers need not sniff and bear it – there are a number of over the counter nasal sprays, antihistamines and prescription medication available. Pharmacy manager Darryl Hughes said the onset of springtime allergies had come sooner than usual. He said allergy problems typically emerged later in October

to November, when the winds started kicking up pollen. Professor at Centre for Public Health at Massey University, Jeroen Douwes, said the only sureﬁre way to alleviate severe hay fever symptoms was to stay indoors. He said the type and level of pollen was also a factor, which is why people may experience worse hay fever symptoms in one location, compared to another. “Not all pollens are the same. A person may only be allergic to a particular type of pollen, such as birch, and therefore if they go to an area where there are more birch trees, they are going to be more severely aﬀected.”

MAKING A WILL Why should I make a Will? A Will allows you to say how your property is to be distributed when you die. It can also determine how you want your children looked after, say what you want to happen to your body, and set out what sort of funeral you would like. Because you can make the most appropriate allocation of your assets, a Will may reduce family conflict after you die. Your Will is an opportunity to structure your affairs in a way that can greatly assist your family. For example, restructuring asset ownership in conjunction with an appropriately prepared Will may assist your partner to become eligible for a rest home subsidy. If I don’t have a Will, what happens to my property? If you don’t have a Will, the Administration Act and/or the Property Relationship Act determines how your property is distributed. It does not all go automatically to your spouse or partner. Rather it is divided between various relatives in certain proportions. In our experience most people would not choose to divide their estate up in this way. A carefully drafted Will can minimise exposure to means testing. If I don’t have Will, what happens to my children? If you make a Will you can name people who will act as guardians for your children. A guardian is responsible for decisions regarding custody, education and religion. Guardians do not necessarily have day to day care of your children, but they do decide

who will, and also ensure they are properly looked after. If you don’t have a Will someone (who ever feels they should) applies to the Court for a guardian to be appointed. That can lead to conflict if several people in a family believe they are best placed to care for your children. What do I need to put in my Will? The first thing a Will does is to revoke any previous Wills. You should appoint at least one and preferably two executors and trustees. These are the people entrusted with carrying out your wishes after you die, so they should be people you trust implicitly. You may want to consider appointing an independent person such as your lawyer or your accountant to act as a trustee. This can be especially useful if there is a difficult family situation. The trustees arrange to pay your debts and funeral expenses. You can appoint who you would like to act as guardians for your children if you and the other parent of your children both die. You can say if you want to be buried or cremated, and can specify funeral arrangements. You can make gifts of certain property or money to specific people or charities. This provides certainty and can be very important in delicate family situations. You can write off debts to a family trust or leave assets in trust for special purposes, such as an education fund for grandchildren.

8 Wairarapa Midweek Local News Wednesday, October 17, 2018

Reaping gardening rewards Spring has sprung and the home gardening faithful drop to their knees at the call of the gardening muezzin digging, weeding, planting, transplanting, aerating and engaging in general dirt bothering. People used to go to church on Sundays to compare clothing, now they visit each other and compare gardens. People espouse their love of gardening as the pleasure of growing things. Rubbish. Gardening is 10 percent growing things and 90 percent killing things. Check out the garden shed; it’s loaded with secateurs, saws, loppers, trimmers, axes – tools of mutilation and destruction. Aerial photographs purporting to show Saddam Hussein’s chemical weapons reserves were probably blown up images of some bloke’s garden shed. Even diehard organic types have a little secret cupboard with poisons of the most hardcore toxicity that they pull out when vinegar and soapy water won’t cut it. Garden centres supply manifest healthy looking semi-mature plants at mature prices or punnets

Gardening can be quite a social activity.

Comment

Mike Osborne of minuscule seedlings at mature prices. These rush off the shelf where most of them will

fall prey to under watering, over watering, under feeding, over feeding, snails, slugs, dogs, cats,

chickens and unruly infants. Survive all of those and they’ve only got to run the gauntlet of hoppers, suckers, thrips, mealy bugs and powdery mildew. Compost, compost, compost. This is the panacea for the home gardener we’re

told by the faithful. If only you use enough good compost then not only will your vegies be bigger, healthier, and tastier, but fewer whales will beach themselves, the ozone layer will thicken, and world peace is but a heartbeat away. Given it’s so universally

wonderful it would be easy to think that you should fetch a mirror, roll up a $20 note and snort some of the stuff. Not advisable. It can be deadly and there was yet another recent death from Legionnaire’s Disease, so always wear a mask. As for gardening swag there’s a whole bunch you need to have to be a real gardener and it can cost you an arm and a leg. What’s the difference between a $30 spade and a $130 spade? $100, that’s the difference. Your corundum blade, carbon fibre shaft, and Kevlar handle will make little impact into our stony soils. Spend your money on a Kango hammer. Despite the warnings you’ve gone ahead anyway. You’ve made it to harvest time and what do you have for all your trouble? Courgettes for frying, steaming and boiling, courgette pickle, courgette chutney and bags of diced courgettes for the freezer to replace the mushy ones you threw out from last year. The real reward? A tomato that actually tastes like a tomato.

Get Geared Up For Gardening This Weekend

This coming weekend is Labour Day, which is traditionally a big one for gardeners to get stuck in to their gardens. Don’t be too hasty to get your tender baby seedlings into the ground though, the Wairarapa weather can still be a bit up and down, so it may be wise to wait a few weeks. There’s plenty of other things to keep you out of mischief though, so come in and see us, and try and beat the weekend rush! EASY ROSE CARE SPRAY THE PLAN YOUR Combat Rose PRICKLES IRRIGATION: Water restrictions seem to be getting tougher each year, which can be fatal for gardens. With a bit of forward planning you can set your garden up to survive the elements. Call in and pick up a Neta Easy DIY Irrigation Planner or download it from www.neta.co.nz. This gives you a step by step guide on creating your irrigation plan – explaining different watering systems, installation tips and much more. The important thing to remember while using this is to start with The Bucket Test. Investing in a quality water timer is also recommended.

It pays to take the time to plan your irrigation system correctly – not only does this help prevent excess water usage, it saves you time and money.

3-in-1 has had great reviews. It’s an insecticide, a fungicide and a natural fish fertiliser, with minerals and trace elements. Combat provides systemic control of black spot, powdery mildew & rust. It kills aphids, mites, thrips, caterpillars & budworms. It can be used on roses and ornamentals, and at $22 for 500ml it is a must have for all rose lovers.

PEST PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN THE CURE

Grosafe have a range of products perfect for home gardeners at competitive prices.

IT’S TOMATO TIME! Come and see our selection of popular varieties. Our punnets are $3.50 or our single potted plants are $3.90. These are bigger and more established than the punnets so you’ll harvest earlier. Try to plant in a different spot to last year, dig in some Tui Tomato Mix and ican Real Blood and Bone and PLANT THEM DEEP (this establishes a strong root system). Add a stake at planting time to prevent damage to the roots later on. We also have sun loving cucarbits, but these should go in a glasshouse, on a warm windowsill or under a cloche until the weather is consistently warmer.

Spray your lawn for Onehunga Weed now – once they flower it’s too late, the damage is done. Grosafe Prickle Weedkiller controls Onehunga, thistles, plantians, daisies + more. If you haven’t already you should feed your lawn with a quality food such as Kings Lawn Fertiliser.

Mudfish make their mark

Carterton

Elisa Vorster It’s not every day a group of small fish stall a major building project, but that seems to be the case for Carterton District Council’s wastewater treatment plant upgrade project. Plans are already underway for the construction of a 200,000m3 effluent storage facility for use when it is too wet to irrigate to land, and to manage stream discharges to times when flows are high. However, the already tight timeline of a lateNovember start to construction could be delayed due to the surprise discovery of a mudfish population at the Daleton Farm area earmarked for storage reservoirs. The endangered species will need to be trapped and successfully rehomed in a suitable environment before any construction can begin. It won’t be known precisely how many mudfish are in the area until trapping begins. Council infrastructure, planning and regulatory manager Dave Gittings said the team had no idea prior to the discovery that

any mudfish were in the area. It is now in the process of getting the new proposed mudfish habitat on Gallons Rd signed off by the Greater Wellington Regional Council before volunteers from the Mangaterere Restoration Society can help rehome the fish. The consent process includes a detailed habitat study to show there would be a suitable food source and the correct mud depth. “There will be controlled

water levels, native planting and the correct species of grass for them,” Gittings said. The council had also installed a solar pump from the bore to make sure the wetlands stay wet enough for the fish. Providing the new habitat gets the signoff, the Mangatarere Restoration Society will need extra volunteers in early November to prepare capture areas in the drains at the present habitat, and to net fish to relocate the

mudfish to the wetlands. The process is expected to take three days. Gittings said the mudfish discovery meant there was a small cost added on to the project but the main setback was the time and effort put into making sure they would get the approval in time for construction to start. He said the Restoration Society had been a huge help by providing the additional planting required in the substantially larger

habitat he referred to as “a mudfish haven”. Council are also still in talks with iwi and Pukaha Mount Bruce, which are able to take some of the mudfish on a temporary basis, but this would require extra permits. • People wanting to take part in the mudfish relocation project can do so by contacting wastewater treatment plant project manager Bill Sloan on 06 3794030.

Carterton’s mystery sign writer took a three-week hiatus but has returned with their cheekiest sign yet. The new sign, which reads ‘Carterton makes my cheeks flush’, is the fifth sign to be mounted outside the public toilets at Carrington Park by an anonymous artist promoting Carterton through toilet humour. The latest sign was sighted earlier this month and is smaller than the previous signs, helping it keep off the council’s radar for some time. Questions are also being asked over whether the same person is behind

another sign on the nearby Memorial Square toilets which reads ‘It’s a relief to stop in Carterton’. Mayor John Booth said most of the town’s residents had so far seen the humourous side of them. “Carterton has got its own Banksy,” he said. “If it’s something really inappropriate it would be removed pretty quickly but quite frankly the vast majority of locals are loving it.” Some people in town claimed to know the identity of the sign writer, he said, but it had not been revealed to him.

– SPOTLIGHT ON –

Te Kāuru – the way forward Flooding and erosion in Masterton Greater Wellington Regional Council is working with Masterton District Council to explore flood protection options for the Masterton urban community. The major flood risk from Masterton comes from the Waipoua River – but the Waipoua is just part of the picture. The rivers in the 1,560 square kilometre Te Kāuru catchment include the Ruamāhanga and its upstream arms – Waipoua, Waingawa, Kopuaranga, Whangaehu and the Taueru. It’s a complex system, and subject to different weather conditions that mean every flood is different, and one river can flood while another doesn’t. The Te Kāuru Upper Ruamahanga Subcommittee has already drafted an initial floodplain management plan for the rural and riverside landowners, and now it’s time to think about how we can protect Masterton’s urban areas from flooding and erosion.

We’ve been working on more accurate flood maps for Masterton as well as thinking about how future scenarios, such as climate change, could play out. We’ll be contacting the community in the coming months to discuss ideas and suggestions for flood management. TKURFMP Subcommittee Vision

We wanted to understand whether you felt the floodplain management plan for Te Kāuru catchment was heading in the right direction. Of the people who provided feedback, 35 percent fundamentally agreed with the Te Kāuru Floodplain Management Plan, another 18 percent agreeing, but with some suggestions. A number of riverside landowners talked to us about beginning to plant along the river to help with erosion – and we’re looking forward to offering them support.

Safe swimming in our rivers this summer Toxic algae has been detected in the Waipoua River at the Colombo Road Bridge and some is washing up along the riverbank. Hopefully this early bloom will be flushed away by spring rainfall but it’s a timely reminder to check the river when you’re down there. We recommend that people closely supervise young children and keep their dogs on a leash along the riverbank.

J000254

Greater Wellington will be monitoring popular swimming spots weekly this summer. We will send out an alert through traditional and social media if levels of toxic algae become a serious risk to public health, and we’ll post information on our website. There will be signs up at river entrances from early November – these will include pictures of toxic algae to help you identify and avoid it. Don’t swim if you see toxic algae.

If a person swallows even a small amount of toxic algae (coin sized) this is a medical emergency – call an ambulance or go straight to hospital.

Toxic algal blooms are caused by a combination of warm weather, elevated nitrogen concentrations and persistent low water flows. They are usually cleared (or “flushed”) by a period of high rainfall.

If your dog swallows even a small amount of toxic algae (coin sized) seek urgent veterinary attention.

Grounding yourself Piece of mind

Opinion

Emily Ireland Identifying that you are in a negative mood or state of mind is the first step to getting yourself out of it. What gets tricky is working out how to get out of the slump or hole we have been digging for ourselves. I have found, the best way for me to get out of a negative mood is by grounding myself, placing myself into a neutral state of being. This can be counterintuitive because if you are feeling stressed, upset, or angry, you tend to think that what will get you out of that mood is by participating in an activity that generates the exact opposite mood; activities that make us relaxed and happy. And while this does work, it’s not always

practical. If you are stressed in the middle of a shift at work, you can’t exactly say, well see you later everyone, I’m taking a holiday as of right now. Or when we are very upset, it can be hard to enjoy activities that would normally make us happy. This is where grounding yourself comes in handy. It is all about participating in neutral activities or thought patterns that encourage a neutral mood. A common technique is breathing with purpose. Concentrate on trying to fill your lungs to full capacity, all the way, pause, and then release all the air. What you want to try to do is imagine you are completely filling your

Have you got a photo you want to share with Wairarapa?

lungs and then completely emptying them. This is a neutral activity because it does not invoke a negative or positive emotion. Another example of a neutral activity you can do if your mind is still racing out of control is to observe the things around us, sense by sense. This is a technique that can be used anywhere, any time. Start with your sight. In your mind, list four things you can see right now. Then list three things you can hear right now, two things you can smell, and one thing you can physically feel. Before you know it, and only within a matter of minutes, your mind has been given a break from fussing over what has put you in a negative mood and instead has been grounded in the present moment. This week, let’s try to stay grounded in the present.

The state of media

In Masterton, on October 23, broadcaster Colin Peacock will be addressing a concerning issue – ‘The Media World in a State of Flux’ – at the Institute of International Affairs’ monthly meeting. As Colin Peacock says: “Large and established news media companies still have large audiences, but news media power and influence is weakening.” This corresponds, he notes, with a decline in their financial health and commercial prospects, and changes in technology and consumer behaviour. He asks: “Are our news media still powerful and important in the digital era? Who – or what – holds power over the media?” Across the Asia Pacific region, New Zealand included, online and social media platforms are becoming the primary means of distributing news, including the dreaded ‘fake news’. Trust in media – and journalists – is in decline in many countries. Colin Peacock will ask: “How is this changing the nature of the news?” Is fake news a serious or permanent problem? What’s being done to combat it around the world?

Cute as buttons ...

Broadcaster Colin Peacock.

How are New Zealand’s media influenced by these global media changes? Colin Peacock is the presenter of Mediawatch on RNZ National, a weekly show that looks critically at the New Zealand media – television, radio, newspapers, magazines, and the online world. After his postgraduate diploma in journalism from Canterbury University, Colin Peacock joined BBC World TV, moving to their 24-hour news network just in time for Princess Diana’s fatal accident on his first night shift. He produced BBC 5 Live’s international programme Global in 1999, then moved to BBC World Service in 2000 to

A home for a pet

Fern and Ponga were found frolicking in the flowers at a local community greenspace by MDC Animal Services and they are now hanging out with our team. These puppies are cute as a button. The male Ponga (with the white face) is a bit bigger than his sister Fern, we believe they are about 3-4 months old and will be about medium-sized when fully grown. They have been vet-checked, vaccinated, wormed and microchipped, they will also be desexed before they are rehomed. A rehoming fee will be charged for these puppies to cover costs which will include registration for the balance of this year, a member of our team will also conduct a property check to ensure it is puppy proof. If you are interested in offering a forever home to Fern or Ponga please give us a call on 06 370 6300. For more information please call Animal Services a call on 06 370 6300.

Ferris Bueller’s lesson 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.

Midweek Musings

Tim Nelson Plan your holiday using the experiences of experts

I recently enjoyed a trip to Singapore. The place is incredible; there is so much to do in a relatively small space – the whole country is only the size of Lake Taupo in New Zealand. I had seven full days in Singapore. To make the most of the experience it was important that each day was planned. This didn’t mean religiously sticking to a schedule, but it did mean having an idea of what was going to be done each day, ensuring that the most interesting places were visited and experienced. A guide for doing this is the Lonely Planet book which has a suggested itinerary for a range of trip timeframes. It also lists top experiences, with detailed explanations that will give you an idea as to whether it is something that will interest you.

Update the operating system on your devices Yesterday I did the free operating system update on my laptop. This took quite a while to do and meant I didn’t have access to it for an hour or so (which isn’t a bad thing). The upside is that for no cost (Apple updates are free) I have what is essentially a new laptop that is able to do a wide range of things that it couldn’t previously do. I could have easily

gotten by without doing the update, but for what I can now do, taking the time to do it has and will definitely be worth the minor hassle of getting it done.

The two values that will impact on the success of your business Research shared in National Geographic has identified two qualities demonstrated by CEOs that will significantly impact on the success of the organisation; these being honesty and integrity. These two character strengths may not be what we would expect to see from a ruthless CEO who is looking always to the bottom line of profit and cost cutting to satisfy shareholders, but prioritising honesty and integrity will lead to success longevity and stability.

Pay attention like Ferris Bueller

Ferris Bueller’s Day Off is a cult film from the 80s. It tells the story of a high school student who takes a day off school with two friends. The three friends take part in a range of exciting, enjoyable, and interesting activities and experiences over the course of the day, with a key point being that anyone could do what the three friends do. The message of the film is highlighted in a quote shared by Ferris when he addresses the camera directly, stating “Life moves pretty fast. If you

MPB0033

NO PEAS, NO PEA WEEVIL

PHOTO/GETTY IMAGES

don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it”. We can all learn from Ferris by looking for opportunities in everyday life, paying attention to what’s happening around us and enjoying the moment. We don’t want life to just pass us by!

Don’t let your brain let you become as vulnerable as an endangered bird

As a New Zealander I don’t want my brain to end up being just like so many of our wonderful native birds, with two examples in particular being the kiwi and the kakapo. These two fabulous creatures are flightless due to evolution and not having to use their wings because there was no need to before the arrival of humans and the many threats brought to New Zealand by people. Now, because they are flightless they are highly endangered, with the kakapo being close to extinction. With the many things that we no longer need to do because of the technology that is at our

fingertips we are at risk of losing many of the skills and knowledge that we have. We no longer need to do the likes of using a map or even reading a book – many wouldn’t see the point because technology will do it for us. Perhaps in the end the only thing we’ll know how to do is search for the answer on Google; a frightening prospect if, for whatever reason, we lose access to the external brain that ICT is becoming for so many of us.

How to increase your attention space

We all crave the ability to focus on something for longer or increase our attention space. According to Chris Bailey, the author of the book Hyperfocus, there is a tried and trusted way of achieving this goal and anyone can do it: the use of mindfulness meditation. According to Bailey, and backed by scientific research, the regular practice of mindfulness meditation will increase your attention span by up to 30 per cent. In my column, I have written many times about how the impact of small

lifestyle changes can have big changes on our lives if we consistently apply them. Mindfulness meditation is an example that can lead to significant positive change, and the good thing is that it’s accessible to anyone.

Create the conditions for things to happen

Reading about the concept of ‘flow’, I came across Colleen Hacker, an American University professor. She shared a key factor in achieving this condition in which everything is attuned and in line to create a state in which you are doing a particular thing in a way in which time just flies and you are doing it at a very high standard. Hacker believes that flow can’t be reached at any time or on demand, but it is a lot more likely to be reached if we create the conditions for it to happen. For example, to reach a state of flow when playing tennis you will need to have the right equipment and to have put in the necessary practice to reach the state; it won’t happen by chance or without having laid the foundations first.

Please do not grow pea plants, sow pea seeds or use pea straw. A Controlled Area Notice is still in place for the Wairarapa region. The number of pea weevil has decreased in the Wairarapa but they haven’t been eradicated completely. The pea weevil only feeds on peas so if we remove their food, they’ll die out.

Orionids for early risers Sky Watch

Nick Sault moon encounter. You cannot fail to see them, just slightly north of overhead at 10.30pm. Both are plonk in the middle of Capricornus. I bet the horoscope prophets will have a field day with that one. The moon is beginning to fill out and swamp with light, but red Mars should be very apparent only two degrees (a thumb’s width) from the moon. Monday morning, early starters may get to see the Orionid meteors, named as they appear to come from the Orion constellation. At 5am, Orion is high in the sky due north – you can’t miss that three-star belt of his, or the brilliant giant stars Betelgeuse and Rigel north and south of the belt. If you have some time to drink in this star-spangled sky, keep looking in this northern half of the sky. The Orionids are expected to show about 10 to 20 meteors an hour, so you should see a few if you are patient enough to wait

at least 15 minutes. These ones are worth the wait, as they tend to travel across a lot of sky and often leave trains of what looks like smoke but is ionised gas in the high atmosphere.

I did promise to talk about the great Andromeda galaxy, as the constellation of Andromeda is appearing in our northern skies now. However, there is a moon lurking and you need a dark sky to see the galaxy, so let’s leave it for two weeks. In readiness, perhaps get to recognise the constellations of Pegasus and Andromeda. Rising in the north-east an hour after sunset, you should easily see the great square of stars that is supposed to be the body of Pegasus the flying horse. Andromeda is hanging on the horse, but you won’t see her until a couple of hours later. Not to worry; just get that big square of stars in your mind for when we go looking for the great galaxy. What we do get this week is a close encounter of the moon and Mars and a chance for early risers to see some meteors. October 18 is the evening for the Mars/

These meteoroids are fragments left behind by Halley’s comet, which last passed our way in 1986. The Eta Aquarids which grace our skies every May are another trail of Halley’s comet.

Next month we get the Leonid shower, which usually puts on a good show with more meteors than the Orionids. I’ll keep you informed. Up next: Where did Venus go?

Hospital reels in new docs

Cal Roberts Wairarapa Hospital is one of the country’s top destinations for doctors leaving school, as they eye up potential employers to start their new careers. Each year, the New Zealand Resident Doctors’ Association [NZRDA] asks final year medical school students to rank their preferences for which hospital they wish to work in as a qualified doctor. Hospitals are then ranked in proportion to the actual number of positions available to find the employers in highestdemand. Wairarapa District Health Board’s [DHB] chief medical officer, Dr Tom Gibson, was pleased to hear the ranking result. “It is pleasing to know Wairarapa DHB is so highly regarded by our new medical graduates. “The bigger, tertiary hospitals can often be more attractive for new grads and specialist services, but Wairarapa has a lot to offer and a great lifestyle to match.” Gibson said Wairarapa is a lovely place to live and raise a family, “so it will be good to see some of our top voting graduates applying to come here”. This time Wairarapa Hospital was ranked

How our hospital ranked 1. Whakatane Hospital 2. Rotorua Hospital 3. Nelson Hospital 4. Wellington, Kenepuru, Hutt & Wairarapa Hospitals 5. Whangarei Hospital 6. Christchurch Hospital 7.

fourth, along with Wellington, Kenepuru, and Hutt Hospital. Last year, Wairarapa Hospital was not specifically mentioned, but the list had “Wellington Hospitals” a step closer to the top, at number three. National Secretary of the NZRDA, Dr Deborah Powell, said there were a number of different outside factors influencing

a doctor’s decision about where to work, such as where they want to live. “Nonetheless, factors such as employer compliance with employment terms and conditions, safer rostering practices, appropriate training and supervision – are hugely significant to our new graduates.” Bay of Plenty DHB’s Whakatane Hospital

was the most preferred employer this time, with twice as many applicants as positions. It was closely followed by Rotorua Hospital, and third most-preferred, Nelson Hospital. The lowest ranked hospital for the 2019 training year was Whanganui Hospital, something which did not surprise NZDRA.

“This is a reflection of Whanganui Hospital’s unsupportive management approach,” Powell said. She said “ongoing issues” had seen Whanganui rate poorly among new doctors last year too. “It seems no effort has been made to change, seeing Whanganui now slipping to the bottom of the list.”

Model rockets to launch Emily Ireland Greytown will be the place to be over Labour Weekend if you have a keen interest in model rocketry. Aerospace Education is bringing the rocket launching event to Wairarapa for the first time on Sunday, October 21, with the aim to introduce the Wairarapa community to the educational activity of model rocketry. Gerry Munden of Aerospace Education said, as the name suggests, model rocketry involves building and flying models of the real thing. “As the science is exactly the same, building and flying a model rocket is aerospace engineering in miniature and so it is a great learning activity in the science, maths and technology arenas. “We plan to launch about five of what we call ‘high power’, rockets

during the day between 12 and 2pm with the highlight at 2pm.” However, commencing at about 11.30am, children and families will have the opportunity to build their own parachute-recovered model rockets, and fly these during the day, between the larger rocket launches. The cost for this family activity is $35 which includes a solid rocket motor for one flight. If recovered, rockets can be flown again on the day for $9. The genesis of the event was Aerospace Education’s rocketry programme at Greytown Primary school convened as part of the Space and Science Festival activities in Greytown earlier this year, where the idea of a larger rocketry display for the community was first mooted and supported by residents and the local school.

• Further information about the display can be found at www. aerospaceeducation. co.nz. • The launching site is 213 Kuratawhiti St, Greytown. • A wet weather date has been set for Monday, October 22.

Practice good hand hygiene during spring lambing and calving Every year around this time District Health Boards often remind rural workers and residents of the importance of good hand hygiene during spring.

There is no treatment for cryptosporidium but symptomatic treatment with fluids and any medications prescribed by a GP or health professional is the recommended management.

 Children, especially under five, are particularly vulnerable and more likely to suffer very serious illness

While most people infected with cryptosporidium recover without intervention, recovery can take weeks. Patients are advised to seek further medical advice if not recovering.

In a world awash with the latest ‘no-carb’ or ‘low-carb’ diets on social media, the review shows that whole grains, particularly oats and barley, are associated with small improvements in cholesterol, blood pressure and body weight, and lower your risk of type 2 diabetes by 20-32%. However, it also shows that not all grains are equal – intact, unrefined whole grains like oats, barley and brown rice are best for our bodies.

Lily Henderson, Heart Foundation National Nutrition Advisor says that while whole grains, with their natural fibre structure still intact are best, there is not one ‘single’ food that improves heart health, it comes down to overall diet. “If you base your meals around plenty of vegetables, fruit, legumes, whole grains, nuts, seeds and oily fish, then the nutrients will look after themselves.” For optimal heart health, she says whole grains are best eaten in place of refined grains like white bread and pasta. If you choose to eat grain foods, aim for three servings of whole grains every day.

“A serving is roughly half a cup of cooked porridge, one slice of whole grain bread or 1/3 cup of cooked brown rice,” says Henderson. She also suggests focusing on the quality of whole grain foods that make it into your supermarket trolley. To help you check food labels in the supermarket look for words like whole wheat, whole grain, wholemeal, multigrain, oats etc. near the beginning of the ingredients list. “There are obvious health benefits to eating whole grains, however most of us would benefit from eating more vegetables and legumes too. We encourage swapping refined grains like white bread and pasta to different vegetables too.”

Get spotted on Go Spotty Day

Each year over 4000 Kiwis are diagnosed with melanoma in New Zealand. To support those affected and help raise awareness, Melanoma New Zealand is encouraging everyone to get spotted this Friday 19th October, which is the official start of Melanoma Awareness Week. The organisation wants schools, workplaces and friends to wear something spotty, create a spot of art or make a donation, then post your support with the hashtag #gotspotty. Your donation will help to promote early detection and educate the public about how to stay protected.

STAY IN GOOD HEALTH WAIRARAPA

Blair Tuke, Ambassador for Melanoma New Zealand will be putting sun safety into practice as he celebrates Go Spotty Day from the water as part of the annual Labour Weekend PIC Costal Classic. “Sailors and boaties spend so many hours outdoors and on the water, it’s important to educate the community about Melanoma,” says Blair. “The more we can do to get people educated about simple checks and steps to protect themselves, the more likely we are to reduce the risks.” Melanoma is the most serious type of skin cancer, which can progress quickly to other parts of the body if not treated early and Go Spotty Day is a great way to get involved and remind your friends and family to spot the signs early. If you’d prefer a more reserved approach to the day, simply get to know the skin you’re in and start regularly checking for spots or signs that could lead to early detection.

Hayley Gastmeier The 50th Jubilee celebrations of the Wairarapa Vintage Car Club was a roaring success and featured victories by two of its youngest members. Masterton’s Alec O’Hara, in his Austin 7, won Saturday’s rally to Eketahuna and back. Ryan Dewes, also from Masterton, won Sunday’s gymkhana contest, in which vintage cars competed in six obstacle course events at the Solway Showgrounds. Club chair Willie James said it was “pretty cool”

to have the club’s two youngest members clean up at the weekend’s main events. “The majority of members are 60 years plus.” He said having members in their teens and 20s was rare these days. “It’s really excellent having the young ones because that’s the only way we can keep the club going.” The Wairarapa Vintage Car Club had a few dozen members when it was founded in 1968. Fast-forward 50 years and it has 160 members. James said the weekend

was well-attended, attracting people from all over the country, and Australia. While there were about 100 oﬃcial entries for the jubilee events, James estimated about 300 vehicles were on display at Sunday’s car show at Solway Showgrounds. He said vehicles ranged in age from one that was manufactured in 1900, to the latest Mustangs, Rolls Royces and Land Rovers. A book detailing the club’s ﬁrst 50 years, written by Maureen Bull, was also launched over the anniversary weekend.

Medical Oncologist and Melanoma New Zealand Trustee Dr Rosalie Stephen’s top tips for what to watch out for when checking your skin are:

Melanomas can often be detected through the ABCDE system:  Asymmetry - Two halves of the mole are different from one another  Border - Edges of the mole are poorly defined.  Colour - Colour is uneven with shades of black, brown and tan (moles may also be white, grey, red, pink, or blue)  Different - From other lesions (ugly duckling)  Evolving - Any change in appearance, or bleeding?

The font of knowledge

They say you can tell a lot about a person by their handwriting. Midweek editor EMILY IRELAND caught up with a local handwriting analyst to see what the study of graphology is all about. Graphology, the study of handwriting, has been dubbed a pseudoscience by modern society. But Masterton’s Allan Kirk, who has studied handwriting analysis as a hobby since he was about 20 years old, says you can tell a lot about a person by the way they write. “It’s no coincidence that everybody’s handwriting is diﬀerent,” he said. “They call it a pseudoscience because there is a lot of debate over whether it works or not. “Personally, I have found that if you don’t ask too much of it, it is very good at telling you your basic personality traits – whether you are introverted, extroverted, or independent for example.” To test Allan’s skill, I gave up a sample of my own handwriting – it was a string of several sentences jotted down on a blank sheet of paper. I started writing from the top of the page and stopped about halfway down as I ran out of things to write about. “You know the space that you leave on the top of the page can tell a lot about you,” Allan

said as I walked into our meeting and handed my writing over. In fact, there are quite a few things that Allan looks at when analysing a writing sample. These include but are not limited to: writing pressure, slant, capital letters, margins, links between letters, letter spacing, word spacing, and line spacing. Each element of handwriting gives an insight into a person’s basic personality, Allan said. So how did Allan get into graphology? “I read an article in Playboy,” he said. “I was only reading Playboy for the articles of course – and there was one on graphology. “I tried it on myself and it worked. “After that I studied it in earnest.” Allan has been asked to use his skills in many situations nationally including the analysis of poison pen letters and handwriting analysis of staﬀ to be employed by ﬁrms. He said there was

not much demand for graphology in Wairarapa – “most demand comes from Auckland”. He remembered finding a collection of graphology and handwriting analysis research in the library of the medical school in Dunedin years ago. “Of course, these days there are better ways to check someone’s health than graphology,” he said. “But there are a couple of things it is really accurate at.” I joked that perhaps the research was there to help improve the writing of doctors in training to which he quipped to stay clear away from doctors with tidy writing. Factors in writing which are generally seen as messy techniques, such as a connected ‘i’ dot, can be a sign of intelligence and intuition – “something you would want your doctor to have”. Connected ‘i’ dots are a factor in my own handwriting, “showing the writer to be clever with a speedy, fluid, and flexible mind”, according to Allan’s analysis. My writing sample also showed small and uneven spacing

between letters indicating “the writer is chatty, and even gullible sometimes”. The space between my words, which is wide, indicated I have a “marked sense of personal distance”. A favourite part of the exercise was reading the description of my writing pressure – “In this case, the pressure is medium. So, you are not too hard to deal with . . . but you ain’t no pussy cat either!”. I’d say the analysis was pretty spot on – and I concluded that graphology can be quite fun when used for entertainment purposes. “A lot of people are quite surprised when their writing is analysed because it is personality information that is all gathered up for them,” Allan said. “It is not going to be world-shaking. “I have been studying this and working on it for many years for the fun of it mostly.”

Allan would like to oﬀer Midweek readers the opportunity to have their handwriting analysed for free. Applicants should bring a sample of their writing into the Wairarapa TimesAge front desk before October 24. Three samples will be chosen at random and analysed by Allan. The sample must be written on unlined paper on a writing pad. Include your name, gender, age, and contact details. The results are not for publication.

I read an article in Playboy. I was only reading Playboy for the articles of course – and there was one on graphology. I tried it on myself and it worked. After that I studied it in earnest.

PHONE TRIAGE - HOW IT WORKS To help ensure our patients receive the care they need, Masterton Medical has introduced a phone triage system. Patients who ring in with urgent issues will be called back by a doctor and their symptoms discussed over the phone. The doctor will assess the best course of treatment, arrange any pretesting that might be helpful and book the most appropriate appointment, if required. Phone triage helps the practice manage patient demand and ensures the most appropriate care is provided for the patient.

15 MINUTES - TIME ENOUGH? Did you know that GP appointments are scheduled for 15 minutes? If you think you might need more time, please ask to make a longer appointment.

This means our books are still closed to new enrolments for the time being. However, we are actively continuing with our GP recruitment drive.

Facebook can be a great way to keep up with what your friends and acquaintances have been getting up to. While you’re there, you could get some shopping done too. Citizens Advice Bureau advise clients that if you buy goods or services from someone via Facebook, then what your consumer rights are pretty much boils down to whether the seller is considered a professional trader or not. You’re covered by the Consumer Guarantees Act and the Fair Trading Act for goods or services sold by a trader, even if you bid for it in an auction. If the seller is not a trader, then it’s classed as a private sale, which means you don’t have much protection. In general, if someone is selling a lot of items online, then they are a trader. If you’re not sure about a particular Facebook seller, check out their Facebook page. If they seem to sell a lot of similar kinds of items, and have sold a lot

PLUMBER AND OR GASFITTER

PHOTO/GETTY IMAGES

of items in the past, then they are probably a trader rather than an individual just having a household clear-out. There are things you can do to minimise your risk when considering buying from a private seller, for example, if at all possible, try to inspect the item before you hand over your money; ask the seller a lot of questions about the item so you know what to expect; look for feedback from past customers; for the expensive items (like a car), it would pay to check the Personal Property Securities Register in case it has been used as security for someone’s debt. Also, pay by credit

card or, if it’s going to a New Zealand account, by internet banking rather than by cash or telegraphic transfer so your payment can be tracked. Lastly, it makes good sense to get the full name and address of the seller in case the trade goes pear-shaped and you need to track them down. If you have a problem with something you’ve bought it’s always best to talk to the seller ﬁrst. But if you haven’t been able to sort it out by talking to them, talk to us at CAB Wairarapa.

Sharpen your video story Volunteering Wairarapa

Jill Greathead Having had a career in information technology, I have seen changes from mainframes to personal computers, slow to fast internet, big to small mobile phones and now to smartphones. New technologies are often plagued by system failure and price reduction, so many of us don’t jump on the new technology band wagon until the technology has been tried and tested in the market. A year ago, I decided that smartphones had reached stability, so I traded in my 7-year-old mobile phone (remember the one you used just for phone calls and texts?) for the latest and greatest Samsung Smartphone. Since then I have discovered the huge potential of this device that lives in my back pocket and goes everywhere with me. In my role at Volunteering Wairarapa, I discover so many amazing stories, and know it is time for me to move into the modern age of video shooting, editing,

uploading and publishing these stories. Like all communications media this can be done well or badly. Like all things in technology, training and advice from an expert is usually the best way option. While researching my options, I came across Baz Caitcheon from Waiheke Island who set up his own production company in 2000 and helps organisations all over New Zealand to shoot and edit video. Prior to that Baz had project managed digital TV Channel start-ups for TVNZ and in 1999 Baz’s team were awarded Technology Innovator of the Year for Australasia, so I knew I had my expert. After discussing my training needs, he suggested that he visits the Wairarapa and presents his Smartphone Video DIY workshop. Baz has offered us a special deal for attendees who either volunteer or work in the non-profit sector at a discounted

price of $60 per person – see more details below. As they say, ‘seeing is believing’ and if my teenage son is typical of our young people, if there isn’t a video link when he is online, then he probably won’t engage further.

From Sunday, October 21, locals will be able to visit Pukaha at half of the regular entrance fee. The lower price has a two-edged purpose, to encourage locals to visit on a regular basis, and to consider the facility as their own. To celebrate, Pukaha are holding a community open day on October 21 from 10am until 3pm filled with entertainment, nature-inspired craft stalls, free guided tours and other activities. Open day entry is by koha/donation. Pukaha will be joined by their supporters and partners, including Rangitane o Wairarapa, the Department of Conservation, and

representatives from the Masterton and Tararua district councils. To add to the appeal, if a local brings along full paying visitors from outside of the region, they can come in for free provided proof of address is given. Pukaha is also unveiling a new look for the National Wildlife Centre at this event. The new branding incorporates the significant partnership with Rangitane o Wairarapa who gifted the reserve back to the Crown after the treaty settlement was confirmed in 2014. “A stronger cultural presence at Pukaha is long overdue,” said Pukaha Mount Bruce general manager, Emily Court. “Our staff, volunteers and our visitors are hungry to learn about the cultural significance of this forest.” Pukaha Mount Bruce board chairperson, Bob

A book to list all books Elisa Vorster Ivy Huckle can’t say how many books she has read in her lifetime but her impressive 10cm thick notebook indicates it’s been a fair few. The 79-year-old has been documenting all the books she’s read for the past 24 years. “I kept a record because I was inclined to go for the same book title,” she said. Ivy is one of many residents living in Glenwood Masonic Hospital who benefit from Masterton District Library’s outreach programme. The programme sees library staff visit a different rest home one Tuesday a month with a carload of books for residents to borrow. Librarian Rachel Raphael said the programme was great for those who couldn’t make it to the library themselves and helped a lot of the residents get back into reading. As well as books, the library also supplies audio books and takes requests if the residents want a particular title. Ivy’s passion for reading dates back to her childhood in England

I kept a record because I was inclined to go for the same book title. where she would visit her local library and enjoy the light oak tables and leather-backed books. “I’ve always belonged to libraries wherever I’ve lived,” she said. She enjoyed historical books, especially ones that got her reminiscing. “The things they say have happened you know have happened, because you’ve lived them.” Her notebook cataloguing her past reads used to include a few lines about each book, but she realised soon enough it was more efficient to create a system of ticks to indicate whether or not she enjoyed each book. Raphael said she and the other librarians had seen similar notebooks over the years, but Ivy’s was by far the most impressive. Even though her notebook is like her own little piece of history, Ivy is taking a short break from reading as she is currently “committed” to her knitting projects.

The impact of war on NZ

Did the victory of 1918 destroy our civilisation? Featherston Booktown has announced an event to mark the centenary of the Armistice on November 11, titled ‘In the Shadow of War’ which explores eminent historian, Paul Ham’s writings that “The victory of 1918 destroyed our civilisation. Nothing can make that worthwhile”. New Zealand did not escape unscathed. Of the 100,000 Kiwis who served in WWI, almost 17,000 were killed and 41,000 were wounded – a 58 percent casualty rate – and the Great War ushered in significant changes for our wider society which impacted families, the role of women and our sense of national identity. The panel-style event of leading historians will be moderated by distinguished NZ diplomat and co-Chair of the World War One Centenary History Project, Mr Gerald Hensley, at the Kiwi Hall, Featherston. “We are pleased that Featherston Booktown is able to present this special event as part of the official Featherston Armistice Centenary programme and the eagerly anticipated unveiling of the Featherston Camp Sculpture,” said Mr Peter Biggs, Chair, Featherston Booktown. “We have assembled a panel of leading historians who will discuss the significance of the year 1918 and the impact the war has had on New Zealand society.” The three-person panel discussing the far-reaching consequences of war for our country from 1918 to the present day, will comprise: Jane Tolerton – Wellington writer and co-founder of the WWI Oral History Archive; Neil Frances – Wairarapa’s leading military and aviation historian; and John Crawford – the New Zealand Defence

include: The Territorials: The history of the Territorial and Volunteer Forces of New Zealand, coauthored with Peter Cooke (2011); The Devil’s Own War, The First World War Diary of Brigadier-General Herbert Hart (2008); New Zealand’s Great War: New Zealand, the Allies and the First World War, coedited with Ian McGibbon (2007), To Fight for the Empire: An Illustrated History of New Zealand and the South African War, 1899–1902 (1999) and Kia Kaha: New Zealand in the Second World War (2000).

Carterton author, Caren Wilton, with her latest book ‘My Body, My Business: NZ sex workers in an era of change’. PHOTO/ELISA VORSTER

The year was 1987 when a group of feisty young women working in a Wellington massage parlour were envisioning a future together which would see more rights and better treatment for sex workers. This chance conversation led to several meetings in ﬂats with the now Dame Catherine Healy, the woman who helped spark the change which set New Zealand apart by becoming the ﬁrst country to decriminalise prostitution. Carterton’s Caren Wilton helps relay these stories in her latest book ‘My Body, My Business: NZ sex workers in an era of change’, which features the accounts of 11 sex workers, spanning the period from the 1960s to the present, based on hundreds of hours of interviews. The subjects she approached couldn’t be any more diverse – female, male, and transgender workers, Maori and Pakeha, street workers, workers from massage

parlours and upmarket brothels, escorts, strippers, private workers and dominatrices. “It’s a real mix of people and that’s part of what I was trying to do with the book – to include people whose stories were quite contrasting.” Mistress Margaret, a dominatrix in Auckland, began working in the industry at age 47 after her husband was seriously injured in an accident. As a solo mother, she was looking for a means to survive. Other accounts include those from three older transgender women and one younger person who identiﬁes as non-binary transgender – something about which little has been published. One interviewee, Mary Brennan, went on to write her own book and another interviewee, the late Dana de Milo, told her story across a period of several weeks, totalling 18 hours of audio. While some of the 11 subjects use their real

of the NZ sex industry names in the book, others preferred to go under pseudonyms. “Some people were a bit more uncertain or shy, but some people really had the sense they had lived really interesting and unusual kinds of lives,” Wilton said. She hopes the book will serve as a compelling and heartening oral history reflecting how people in the industry cope with stigma and discrimination. “Sex workers are real people like all of us, they’re part of our community,” she said. One woman told Wilton she would never reveal her profession to her landlord, while another said it was hard to get out of the industry because the stigma of being a sex worker follows you through life. “What do you put on a CV? “What do you tell people you’ve been doing for the last 10 or 15 years?” This stigma seemed to follow Wilton too. “Sometimes I’ve had a job interview and I’ll be talking to them about what I’ve been doing with my oral history project about the sex industry, and I can see people are a bit startled and pretending not to be,” she said, laughing. Born in Masterton and now living in Carterton, Wilton moved to

Wellington when she was 16-years-old to branch out and experience city life. She studied at Victoria University of Wellington and went on to write a collection of short stories called ‘The Heart Sutra’ in 2003. It was 2009 when she started delving into the real-life stories of the women and men who make up New Zealand’s sex industry. “I was working at Te Ara Encyclopedia of New Zealand as an editor and I was kind of surrounded by historians and oral historians and we did an entry on sex work.

“I was kind of aware that nothing much had been written about the sex industry in New Zealand for a while and I thought it was a really interesting kind of topic. “I’ve always been interested in stories of people who have made choices sort of outside the norm, people who have lived different kinds of lives.” She contacted Dame Catherine – the woman who lobbied for the decriminalisation of prostitution and was the founding member of the New Zealand Prostitutes’ Collective.

Dame Catherine helped her find people who wanted to share true accounts of what life as a sex worker looked like from the inside. Wilton also personally knew women who had worked in the sex industry in the 1980s. She said it became apparent through the interviewees that the decriminalisation of prostitution had created a safer environment for sex workers. “They felt more empowered and they could go to the police if anything happened. “There were a couple of people I talked to who had

been assaulted or raped, not on the job actually but by other people off the job because they knew that they were sex workers and the people who were assaulting them thought the police won’t care, they can’t really go to the police. “People from the Prostitutes’ Collective have said the police are great these days, which is such a different situation from the 80s and 90s.” Wilton approached Carterton photographer Madeleine Slavick for images to use in the book, after being inspired by her “evocative” and “soulful” photographs of buildings in her exhibition ‘Hong Kong Song’. The imagery used includes current and former sex work sites, including the inside of Funhouse brothel in Wellington. Slavick said she was very happy to be involved in the project which saw her visit 10 different sites, including a wheelchair accessible sex establishment with a dungeon and a gentlemen’s club which used to be a squash centre. “The people who open their life stories to the reader are amazingly lifeaffirming and have positive life attitudes,” she said. • The book will be released on November 1.

Masterton’s Block Party ready to wow community Emily Ireland and Cal Roberts A whole block in Masterton’s CBD will come alive on Saturday with the second annual Block Party, offering up more than 40 activities for people to enjoy. Northern Queen St, between King St and Park St will be off-limit to vehicles as revellers take in live music and explore the best the block has to offer, between 10am and 2pm. The free community event, initiated by Aratoi Wairarapa Museum of Art and History and Urban Dream Brokerage in 2017, celebrates the diversity of the neighbourhood. Coordinator Madeleine Slavick of Aratoi said the event was a celebration of talent, knowledge and diversity, and a way for the museum to reach out into the community. She said not every block could boast an arts quarter, two museums, an archive and library, a range of ethnicity, and also a huge range of shops and services. She said some highlights of the day include a painting relay at ConArt, steampunk at King Street

Flax making at last year’s Block Party.

“What’s cool about kete is that once they are well used, you can compost them and just make a new one,” Waetford said. Celebrating artists from the Cameron Block in Masterton is one of their major excitements. The Block Party team is wanting to “draw a connection for them because they identify as The Block and so we want to bring them here to this Block and have a party.”

At Te Pa, people will be able to carve a small waka for racing in Robinson’s Park as part of the the Friluftsav- Open Air Life launch. “That is part of our kaupapa – to be guardians of the land through our arts.” “Aratoi also relates to this sense of guardianship,” says Slavick. “Aratoi is offering tours for kids of taonga in the Aratoi collection. “We’re also designing the map of Block Party activities to be available via a QR Code – a cool way to protect our natural resources.” Historian and archivist, Gareth Winter, will be taking people on a tour behind the scenes at the Wairarapa Archive on the day. “It’s a chance to see what we do and how we do it, and how it relates to the community.” Bookings are essential, but three separate tours will each begin on the hour from 11am. • The Block Party team thanks the Masterton District Council Events Fund for covering the basic costs of the event.

Wild Suzy 15kg lighter Hayley Gastmeier A haircut that took eight minutes and 16 seconds resulted in 14.68kg of long, mud-matted fleece covering the stage and a feral sheep named Suzy looking better than ever and most certainly, lighter. Sunday was the first time the crossbred ewe, thought to be four or five-years-old, had ever been shorn. Doing the honours at the Wool Shed in Masterton, despite an ill-timed nosebleed was shearing world record holder Peter Casserly. Casserly gently took Suzy’s wool off with a pair of blade shears and a handsome 550mm lock was set aside to establish a record for the longest staple of wool ever shorn from a sheep for the Guinness Book of Records. Casserly, 70, from Omarama, South Canterbury, is well known for shearing Shrek, the famous merino sheep discovered in 2004 at Bendigo Station in Central Otago. “Suzy wasn’t too bad,” he said. “It was only half the work of Shrek, who had wrinkles and twice the amount of wool. “But Shrek’s fleece wasn’t as long as Suzy’s which was

the longest length of wool I’ve ever cut off.” For Casserly, it was a pleasure to be in Masterton, the home of shearing history. He thought Suzy, a romney-perendale cross, would adapt well to her new trim. Suzy was captured on a remote bluff in the Mapiu district, south of Te Kuiti, by Amie Ritchie and Carla Clark. The women travelled down to Wairarapa with Suzy for Sunday’s event which attracted a crowd of about 100 people from a wide range of ages, all eager to glimpse the extremely woolly ewe. Ritchie and Clark caught the ewe after a chase lasting several hundred metres over rugged terrain. The MC for yesterday’s display was Greg Herrick, former Golden Shears president and chairman of the Golden Shears World Council. He was impressed with the ewe’s “calm” manner, saying many sheep get “quite flighty” as a rule while being shorn. “Suzy’s never been docked, obviously, because she’s managed to elude all the musterers and farmers over the years.” He said blade shearing “was a very unique skill”,

predominately done in the South Island. Casserly’s world record was set in 1976 when he blade-sheared 353 sheep. This record still stands. He said there once was about 200 blade shearers in New Zealand, now there were just 20. [Above] Suzy, the feral sheep, being shorn for the first time.

Ploughing on ahead with a long-standing tradition Ploughing transformed New Zealand’s agricultural industry and it lives on today as one of the country’s oldest sports and traditions. BECKIE WILSON spent the day in Gladstone at the annual Wairarapa ploughing match to witness what happens when precision and passion are combined.

The beginning of the Wairarapa ploughing match on Sunday.

As Opaki farmer Peter Noaro jumped down off his tractor, he admitted, “I’ve never been able to do the crown right”. To begin a ploughing match, the first step is to create an “opening split”, the first row, before ploughing the crown, where the soil is turned into the centre. At last Sunday’s annual Wairarapa ploughing match in Gladstone, the Noaro brothers, Peter and Jack, ploughed in lots side-by-side in their matching red McCormick

defined than the precise time he had served with the association. “Someone said it was about 40 years,” he said. Wilson, and his wife, Barbara, are a Wairarapa ploughing power couple, with Barbara having held the secretary role since 2005. The former Gladstone farmer has been a bus driver for Masterton-based Tranzit company for the past 20 years. He was pleased with the turn-out of 15 competitors on Sunday, especially

Engineering Standard tractors. Peter’s was a W4 model, slightly smaller than his brother, Jack’s, W6 model. Despite the lack of confidence, Peter came first place in the Open Vintage category on Sunday, with a total of 103.5 points. As a potato farmer just north of Masterton, ploughing is an important part of everyday life. Preparing the soil for planting was crucial to make a living off the crop, he said.

But for the past two decades, ploughing has also been a hobby for Peter, who sticks to competing at a local level. With the match underway behind him, Alan Wilson looked towards the horizon as he attempted to count the years, maybe even decades, that he has been treasurer of the Wairarapa Ploughing Match Association. Sporting a name badge and a ploughing-branded hat, his passion for the sport was more easily

after last year’s match was called off after rain. Sunday’s weather was more favourable with the warm breeze. Years ago, when the association was searching for a paddock on which to hold the yearly match, the late Mick Rayner offered up a piece of the family property. “It’s clay-based, a good paddock too,” Wilson said. From 1994 to 2006, matches were held at Rayner’s property. He died in July this year and his grandson, Andrew

to a waving green flag. On Sunday, he was in charge of the start and finishing flags: red for stop, amber for a warning of change, and green to start or continue ploughing. Years ago, there were concerns that the sport was dying out when only three ploughmen would turn up for an event, Batchelor said. “It got to a stage that there might not be enough for an event,” he said. He would like to see new blood coming through, but he was pleased to see the 15 entrants this year. Kelly Jones enjoys supporting her husband Gavin, the association’s president, at these events. Jones was skeptical when she attended her first

Spectator and the veteran

These days, Carrington farmer, Peter Batchelor, takes more of a back-seat role at local ploughing matches. He first started competing in the 1950s before turning to judging in the 80s, but “now it’s more coming along to support the others”, he said. His father had a dairy and cropping farm in Carrington. They would plough a small section of the farm, about five acres, for the crops. Batchelor acted as a watchful eye over the ploughmen, as he sat next

match about six years ago. “First I thought this would be boring, but I really enjoy it,” she said. It was a passionate sport where expertise and wisdom were passed on from those more experienced, she said. Kelly noted there were not many women in Sunday’s match – a twowoman team ploughed a single furrow behind two Clydesdale horses.

Back to where it began

The first Wairarapa ploughing match dates back to 1875, with an event held at Tauherenikau, which cost five shillings to enter. But ploughing in New Zealand goes back further, to the very beginnings of European settlement. On May 3, 1820, missionary, the Reverend John Butler walked behind a team of six bullocks in Keri Keri, drawing a plough. He recorded the first use of an agricultural plough in the country. On that historic day, Butler wrote in his dairy: “I trust that this auspicious day will be remembered with gratitude and its anniversary kept by ages yet unknown.” And so it has transpired.

Report for Week Ending 12/10/2018, by Ian Hicks.

Championships is an exact replica of the plough Butler used, which is on display at the Old Colonist’s Museum in North Auckland. When Wairarapa’s Ploughing Match Committee was formed in 1910, it hosted its first match in June at the Glenmorven property near Greytown. Match locations alternated across the region each year. Special prizes during matches included: one guinea for the horse showing most care and attention, and a 12-month delivery of the Wairarapa Daily News for the horse showing best management. The 1916 match was cancelled as the men who typically entered were on the frontline during World War One. No further matches were held until after the end of the second world war in 1945. In 1953, the Wairarapa Ploughing Match Association was formed, and continues to this day. Wairarapa has hosted two national finals, one in Masterton in 1969, and another in 1977 at Mick Rayner’s property in Carterton. The Wairarapa ploughing match is held annually.

Taking ethical wool to the global market Beckie Wilson A South Wairarapa farm has become the first New Zealand grower to supply wool to global clothing giant British multinational retailer Marks and Spencer under the Responsible Wool Standard [RWS]. Last week, Marks and Spencer announced its first clothing range made with RWS-certified New Zealand lambs’ wool, including six mens’ blazers and two waistcoats. Kurt and Lisa Portas of Palliser Ridge became the national flagship farm for RWS wool, after becoming the first New Zealand farm to achieve the status, with three other Wairarapa farms and 14 nationally now also supplying certified wool. The other RWS Wairarapa farms are Matt and Lynley Wyeth of Spring Valley Enterprises, Rebecca and Richard Tosswill of Te Awaawa farm, and Peter and Sophie Gaskin of Forbrae farm. RWS is a voluntary global standard that addresses the welfare of sheep and traces wool back to the farm, while also establishing a link between the growers and consumers. The Portas couple manage and sharehold in the farm for Jim and Marilyn Law, and run 10,000 romney lambs.

Romney wool is known as coarse or strong wool, traditionally used in carpet production. However, under the RWS, the market has turned for coarse wool growers with clothing companies such as Marks and Spencer using the strong wool. The 1500ha coastal property produces about seven tonnes of lambs’ wool annually, mostly supplied through Wools of New Zealand to the market. The farm was a foundation shareholder in Wools of New Zealand at its inception about five years ago. “It’s really great [Marks and Spencer] are embracing strong or coarse wool — it’s not just for carpet,” Lisa said. “New Zealand has so much of this wool and if we can find a way to use it in mainstream fashion, it’s to going mean great things for our wool producers.” Kurt said he was keen to adopt any new initiative that was “market driven” to lift standards of animal welfare, farm management and the environment. “RWS simply recognises the efforts that we put into our land and by farming our animals in the most ethical way.” Lisa said this was the first time their lambs’ wool had been used for clothing.

The RWS was a more involved audit than they had previously experienced, “but it was absolutely achievable”, she said. The couple visited Marks and Spencer head office on a trip to England, where they saw the appreciation the company had for New Zealand farmers. “It’s more than what we originally hoped for, and we hope this is just the beginning.” Wools of New Zealand director, and Mastertonlocal, Lucy Griffiths said the collaboration with Marks and Spencer was significant because of the global footprint of the company which has 1500 stores across 57 countries. “Because of their profile and the fact that this is their first RWS launch, it’s extremely exciting for the industry,” she said. Marks and Spencer sources the majority of its wool from New Zealand “So much of New Zealand strong wool goes into flooring, and it’s great to get it into fashionable clothing,” she said. Consumers were increasingly wanting to know where the wool had come from and if the animals were living in a sustainable and environmental-friendly, she said.

Wai Write

Keith Allen Mary: “Harry, have you a few minutes to discuss. something with me?” Harry: “Yes Mary, just a few. I have an appointment for five o’clock at the Pub.” M: “I want you to come on cruise with me in January.” H: “If I have told you once, I have told you a thousand times the answer is N. O. No. I haven’t changed my mind since last night.” M: “Why?” H: “How many times do I need to spell it out? Sitting in the hot sun getting sun burnt with nothing else to do is not my idea of a fun-filled holiday.” M: “I have told you time and time again that modern cruise ships are small floating cities. During the day you will be able to play quoits, darts, cards, play the pokies or just relax with a book in their well-equipped library. In the evening you will be able to enjoy the in-house entertainment, watch a movie or go dancing. What more could you ask for?” H: “You might believe all that stuff in the brochures, but I don’t.”

Harry gets up from his seat and starts to move towards the door M: “Just a minute. I still have a couple of more things to say. When you arrive home this evening I won’t be up to make you a cup of tea. Tomorrow you will make your own breakfast and cut your own lunch before going to bowls.” Harry stomped out of the house slamming the door shut as loudly as he could. On the following Monday, Mary and Harry went to the Travel Agents.

M: “Harry I have come to the conclusion that you are a very selfish man. Ever since we married 10 years ago you have asked me to accompany you to every bowling tournament. Have I ever refused? More often than not these have been two-day events and yet you refuse to come on a

three-week cruise where we could meet new people and have lots of fun together, It could be the honeymoon that we never had.” H: “I thought you enjoyed your time with my mates’ wives and partners?” M: “You’ve got to be joking! Have you ever

spent more than a minute with any one of them? They are unable to sustain an intelligent conversation for more than a couple of minutes. All they can talk about is how brilliant their little darlings are. To hear them talking you would think that they had bred another Einstein or Stephen Hawking.”

• Keith Allen is the chairman of the Blairlogie Writer’s Group. • The group usually meets on the last Friday of each month in the Wairarapa Genealogy Society Rooms next to the Archive on Queen St in Masterton.

Riders battle strong winds

CYCLING

Strong winds made racing difficult during race two of the Trust House North Island Team Series, held in South Wairarapa on Sunday. Held on the same circuit as the 2017 race, the race started in Martinborough and travelled south along the Cape Palliser coastline in cold, windy conditions, before finishing with a strong tail-wind. The first race to start was the masters one grade, including race favourite and 2016 Elite

Series winner Dave Weaver [Wheelworks]. Weaver won the race but was later disqualiﬁed as he failed to wear a race number and signon before the start, as required for all riders. Rivet Racing’s Matt Webber was moved to ﬁrst place after a great ride with Napier rider Stuart Kilmister [MTF Finance] in second place, and Kate McCallum [Wheelworks] in third. Chasing hard behind the leading group were four other riders, including series leader Scott

McDonnell [Fitlab] of Christchurch. McDonnell eventually managed to finish in fifth place but gained enough points to keep the leader’s jersey going into race three later this month. In the Masters Two grade, the bunch rode together for the first 35km, knowing that as soon as they turned onto Cape Palliser Rd strong crosswinds were waiting for them and a change of tactics and positions would take place. Here, two riders proved to be the strongest

up the hill, Matthew Stevens from Wellington [Kiwivelo] and Huib Buyck from the Total Home THT team. They manage to break away from the pack and by the turn they had a lead of 45 seconds from four chasing riders. Stevens took the victory in a sprint ﬁnish with Buyck in second place. Stevens now has the lead in the series with three races to go. The masters three group went to the turn in a big bunch but things heated up on the way home.

in the match, and even at 10-0 with 20 minutes remaining, they were not out of the contest. But two tries in three minutes – to flanker Junior Fakatoufifita and replacement back Hemaua Samisoni – put the result beyond doubt. Wairarapa-Bush assistant coach Deon van Deventer said it was probably the worst performance the team had produced all season. “We can’t probably play a worse game than today – it’s almost like we were back in week one. “It was really flat and almost like there was no connection . . . some of the guys said there was no talk and it was the total opposite of what we had against South Canterbury a couple of weeks ago.” Van Deventer was unsure what had led to the error-strewn performance, but said it was unlikely to have been complacency as there had still been plenty to play for. A lop-sided penalty count did not help the home team, as they found themselves getting penalised constantly at important times. “I don’t think we’ve played a game as bad as this one,” he said. “Even if you have 100

Jake Beleski Wairarapa-Bush will not have to wait long for a shot at redemption after Saturday’s disappointing 24-0 Heartland Championship loss to North Otago in Masterton. The one positive from the result was that Wairarapa-Bush managed to keep the visitors to three tries, which stopped them from securing a bonus point and overtaking the home team on the points table. The result means the two teams will face off again in Masterton this weekend in the Lochore Cup semifinals, after finishing sixth and seventh on the points table respectively. Saturday’s performance would have caused major concern in the WairarapaBush camp, as they struggled to match the energy and skill levels of their opponent. North Otago dominated the first half but only had one try to show for it at halftime, after first fiveeighth Paul Tupai crashed through several defenders on his way to the line in the 15th minute. At 7-0 there was a feeling Wairarapa-Bush were still well and truly

Wairarapa-Bush per cent ball, you will struggle to win a game if you give away so many penalties. “We’ve got some things we need to sort out during the week.” A highlight of their upset win over South Canterbury was the

24 0

ability to hold the ball for long periods, but that was lacking on Saturday as they struggled to put together meaningful phases with ball in hand. “Two weeks ago, we went 18 and 22 phases, and I think [on Saturday] we went five phases once,”

van Deventer said. “It was a bit uncharacteristic – it’s probably a good kick up the arse in terms of what is expected and what we will have to do to win.” Regular first five-eighth Glen Walters is expected to be fit to play next weekend after sitting out Saturday’s match, while there is also hope that wing Tristan Flutey will be ready to go after missing the last two matches with a hamstring injury.
