Overworked and fragile Local chefs working up to 70 days in a row, turning to drugs

PHOTO/GETTY IMAGES

Emily Ireland Wairarapa chefs are working weeks on end without a day o as they take the brunt of a national skills shortage.

Chefs have been on New Zealand’s Long-Term Skill Shortage list for many years, but for some Wairarapa chefs, there is no light at the end of the tunnel.

A local chef, who the Midweek has agreed to call Alex to protect his identity, shared the industry pressures he had witnessed while working in Wairarapa.

The pressure had resulted recently in a local chef working up to 70 days in a row, while others battled major depression, and in some instances, turned to drugs to cope, he said. “The job they do is incredibly diďŹƒcult and incredibly stressful. “Most of them do it for a couple of years, realise it’s not what they want to do, and go ďŹ nd something else to do. “This is why we have this massive shortage, which is then causing people to be overworked, underpaid, and basically it brings on

You go home at the end of the day, get four-five hours sleep, and then you’re back into it the next day. feelings of depression. “This is why so many of the top chefs recently have gone down bad paths.�

He said this, referring to the recent suicide of American celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain. “CheďŹƒng is nothing like what you see on TV. “What we do is in extreme heat, there’s pressure, and the stress of ensuring everything is of

the best of our ability every time.�

Alex said most chefs did not take breaks and that an average work day was about 12 hours. “The longest day I’ve done would be 16 hours. “I’ve done horriďŹ c days in my career – they’re not that regular, unless you are incredibly low on chefs – in which instance you may have to do breakfast, lunch,

and dinner service. “You go home at the end of the day, get fourďŹ ve hours sleep, and then you’re back into it the next day.â€?

In Wairarapa, Alex had witnessed some chefs turning to drugs to “deal with the pressures�. “Those people never last in the industry because their drug habits burn them out even quicker in the end.�

He said Wairarapa chefs were “overworked, completely stressed out, and feeling underappreciated�. “Unfortunately, the

people who are most passionate about the industry are the ones who are suering most because they don’t want to throw the towel in.�

Alex wanted to encourage chefs who whose mental health was in decline to “talk to someone about it�.

Marisa Bidois, chief executive oďŹƒcer of the Restaurant Association of New Zealand said mental health issues were not speciďŹ c to the industry, “but working excessive hours certainly contributes to the matterâ€?.

Friends’ brave cancer shave

Two friends have braved a shave for cancer, in memory of a close family friend who lost her battle for cancer in May. Aunty Sue Parfitt was a big part of Rose Larkin’s life.

So, it was tough when she and Rose’s mum were both diagnosed with cancer three years ago.

But it was even tougher when Aunty Sue lost her cancer battle.

Rose’s mum Sue Cherry said Rose had wanted to do something positive to show her love for her aunt, and so she decided to participate in Shave for

a Cure.

The 12-year-old Opaki School pupil also wanted to donate her locks to be made into a wig for cancer sufferers, but her hair was not long enough.

That’s where her school friend Guinevere Eatwell, 12, decided to lend a hand and have her longer hair shaved off too.

Cherry said she was “immensely proud” of her daughter and Guinevere.

Rose said it was “scary” when she saw a clump of hair fall on the floor, but both girls said it was “really awesome” to do it together.

They were supported by school friends and family as their heads were shaved at Con Art in Masterton on Sunday.

In the weeks leading up to the shave, Rose had raised $1792 to donate for cancer research.

• Donations can still be made – search for Rose Larkin on shaveforacure.co.nz.

Mental health a concern Continued from page 1 She said the association was working with the Mental Health Foundation to deliver resources for the industry.

“It’s not only about educating owners and managers, it’s about the whole team, but it needs to start at the top.”

The Restaurant Association helpline is a 24-hour service that members can call to get advice on legal matters.

“But this line is also much more to many of our members – it’s a place to talk through issues.

“What often starts as a call about how to handle a complaint from a diner, or questions about employment agreements, often turns into a place to talk about much more.”

Hospitality New Zealand Wellington branch president Jeremy Smith said the organisation was raising issues that affected the cheffing shortage with the Government.

“Employers and employees should work together on this issue and operate in good faith – this means ensuring any hours worked over and above those set out in an employment agreement are agreed to by both parties, that employers

Are hospitality workers undervalued?

90%

No

Based on a Midweek poll of 126 Facebook users ensure that their staff have appropriate breaks during work, and appropriate breaks from working with some time off.”

The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment labour inspectorate hospitality lead David Milne said the onus was on employers

to ensure they are “prioritising their workers’ health and wellbeing, and part of that means ensuring staff do not work for long periods without a break”.

The Labour Inspectorate targets employers in the hospitality industry who deliberately breach employment standards through operating exploitative business models.

“It’s against the law, and gives these businesses an unfair advantage over those employers who follow the law.”

Examples of noncompliance in the hospitality sector are long hours and a lack of accurate time and wage recording, migrant workers working in contravention of their visas, payment of premiums for jobs, underpayment of the minimum wage and a lack of payment for public holidays and alternative leave.

The Labour Inspectorate encourages anyone in this situation, or who knows of people in this situation, to phone the Ministry’s service centre on 0800 20 90 20 where concerns are handled in a safe environment.

Entering the cheffing workforce Ian Drew is the senior lecturer at UCOL and Hospitality/Chef & Programme Leader.

He said the whole chef shortage issue was “quite complex”.

“There’s almost like a vicious cycle because employers want people that are trained, but they’re not giving their current staff the time to do the training.”

He knew of people who had started work washing dishes, then had moved on to making salads, and then cooking.

“You haven’t got any qualifications, but because your employer relies on you to keep the place running, you can’t go out and get the qualifications – it’s a Catch 22.”

Drew said the tertiary sector had been underfunded for years, “which could be part of the issue as well”.

“UCOL used to be funded $59m in 2004, and now the funding is $48m.

“Things are getting cut, and a lot of it relates to Government policy.

“If they want people in the industry, they

need to put some money towards it.

“The chefs are on the shortage list for immigration and a lot of people from overseas are coming for that.

“But I’m sure there are plenty of people here that can do the job quite efficiently and do the training.”

He said UCOL cheffing and cooking course participant numbers fluctuated, but said there was “plenty of room in Wairarapa to take more people on”.

“We have a Level 4 year-long programme that started in February.

“They started with six people and now there are five people – realistically, we could have taken 18.”

Drew said at an industry level, employers were “trying to do their best in a tough environment and that’s why sometimes they want people to work a bit extra”.

“But then it becomes a norm as well, which is problematic.”

He also said many people had a romanticised idea about the world of cheffing because of programmes

like Master Chef and My Kitchen Rules.

“The reality is, it is really hard work.

“Generally, it is long hours – and they are antisocial hours because you are working at a time where everyone else is out enjoying themselves.

“Every meal that goes out has to be perfect, and you are judged on every single meal.

“Not many other jobs are judged on every single plate you put out.”

However, there were many positives working as a chef, Drew said – “if you’ve got a passion for cooking”.

“It’s a really good job for young people because it is sociable – even though your social hours are weird, you’re in a team-oriented environment.

“The skills are transferrable: you learn good communication, organisational skills, creativity, and business skills.”

Crossing crashes ‘senseless’

The pedestrian crossing on Chapel St. PHOTO/BRUCE PAULING

Emily Ireland A recent crash at a Masterton pedestrian crossing has got the Wairarapa Road Safety Council stressing the importance of being alert while behind the wheel.

Wairarapa Road Safety Council manager Bruce Pauling said a pedestrian was recently struck at a crossing on Chapel St, adjacent to the Masterton Town Square.

He said the pedestrian had suffered serious injuries, “which means her life has been thrown into chaos and she has a long recovery ahead, with possible ongoing physical

issues”.

The incident highlighted the “absolute need” for drivers to take extra precautions, focus on the road, and stay alert, he said.

“Drivers should always be aware of pedestrian activity on and around pedestrian crossings, and even more so in these dark gloomy winter months, when visibility is limited due to heavy rain and foggy conditions.

He said wet, slippery, and icy roads resulted in a longer stopping time for vehicles.

“Local drivers know where the crossings are

and should adjust their speed accordingly, scan for pedestrians, and be prepared to brake and give way,” Pauling said.

“Remember you must give way to pedestrians using or about to use the crossing.

“White painted diamonds on the road also warn drivers of the crossing ahead, as well as black and white painted poles mounted with large fluorescent orange disks either side of the crossing.”

Pedestrian crossings can be challenging particularly for the young, the elderly, and those with disabilities, Pauling said – “so we

Fareham House delights It was a dance show like no other last Friday night in Featherston.

A group of children had been working hard over the school holidays with dance teacher Justine Eldred, and guest teacher Aurora Lagattuta.

Their performance, Blink, was a magical merger of the wellknown tales of Alice in Wonderland and Narnia.

Held in the Great Room at the historic Fareham House in Featherston, parents watched on from the staircase as their children twirled, sang, and acted in the production.

But to stay safe in Narnia, the children all had to be careful not to fall asleep – otherwise they would turn to stone.

A special dance show was held at the historic Fareham House in Featherston.

Lagattuta, who played the “White Witch from America”, is doing her Masters in dance at the University of California, San Diego.

She is an artist in

“It’s been delightful to meet all of these beautiful, talented, young artists,” she said.

can help by stopping and showing patience and courtesy for our most vulnerable”.

“Pedestrians need to take responsibility for their safety as well.

“Hi-viz or bright clothing at night means you will be a lot easier for drivers to see you.

“Don’t walk out suddenly and expect a driver to react quickly.

“Ensure the driver has seen you, and wait until the vehicle has stopped before walking out in front, especially at night, and do the same for traffic coming from the other direction as you cross as well.”

Data from the New Zealand Transport Agency, collated by the Midweek shows that, since the turn of the century, three people have been killed in Wairarapa as a result of pedestrian crossing crashes.

The data also shows that from the year 2000 to the end of 2017, there were 194 pedestrian crossing

crashes.

Out of these, five people were seriously injured, and 71 people received minor injuries.

Pauling said if everyone followed the road rules, stayed alert, and respected each other, “then senseless crashes which ruin lives and can kill or maim vulnerable road users will not be an issue”.

Keeping families warm Wairarapa families were recently gifted care packages to take the bite out of winter.

The Winter Warmer packages were put together

by Red Cross volunteers, staff, and AMI staff in Masterton.

AMI had provided the funding for the 100 packs, of which 57 were given to families that Whaiora currently supports and mentors.

The packs were delivered to families around Wairarapa last week.

Ellie van Baaren from Red Cross said the Winter Warmer packs helped

“keep the bite out of winter for families who need it”.

She said there were a range of things in the packs including warm clothing, draft stoppers, and food items.

“It’s part of what we do to help the people who need it most around the country.”

Carolyn Brooks a social worker with Whaiora’s Family Start programme said the recipients of the care packages were grateful and overwhelmed.

“One parent said it made her and her children feel really cared about.

“Another said it felt like Christmas time.

“They were just so happy.”

Landslide win for Vickery

Hayley Gastmeier In the end, it was a landslide win for Ross Vickery, Featherston’s newest district councillor.

The lawyer and former Air Force navigator was elected to the South Wairarapa District Council in a by-election prompted by the resignation of Dayle Harwood in April.

There were four other contenders – Greg Kerr, Graham Hodder, Bob Petelin, Warren Preiss – with Vickery getting 526 votes in the postal ballot, more than twice the number of any other candidate.

“I’m flattered, honoured, and somewhat taken aback by the number of people who supported my campaign – and did I say humbled?”

He said he was aware that people were looking for positive change and better outcomes for Featherston as a ward.

“I’m looking forward to being able to progress Featherston interests through the council and also achieving better outcomes for the South Wairarapa district as well.”

The voter return was 41.4 per cent, with total of 1008 votes, excluding special votes.

Vickery said he was in store for a steep learning

“As [former Prime Minister] Robert Muldoon told his backbenchers, for the first two years, breathe through your nose – in other words keep your mouth shut.

“So [for me] it’s a matter of listening and learning and meeting people and establishing links, positive ones I hope – so the apprenticeship begins now.”

Vickery said he would be attending every community board meeting from now on, including the ones held this week, although he will only be sworn in on August 8.

Vickery runs a small law practice on Fitzherbert St, next to his wife’s bookshop and café, Loco, and said his work life was flexible.

Dampener on school holidays Hayley Gastmeier and Emily Ireland An Australian family’s holiday took a turn for the worst last week when their hired campervan ended up in the middle of Henley Lake in Masterton.

But a silver lining emerged when the family was later offered the best of Kiwi hospitality by Wairarapa locals.

The incident unfolded last Tuesday night, but the retrieval lasted most of Wednesday, watched on by many spectators.

The family, parents with four children aged between three and 16, had not long arrived in the town when their rented campervan ploughed through a wooden barrier and floated out onto the lake.

Senior Sergeant Mike Sutton said the mother had got out to stretch her legs, and the father, who was in the driver’s seat, was probably planning to do the same.

“Except they still had [the vehicle] in gear and didn’t have the brake on and it went forward into the lake with five people inside.

He said the family stayed “stayed remarkably calm”.

The retrieval effort of the campervan took most of Wednesday to complete.

looked after the mother until police, fire, and ambulance arrived just after 8pm.

Firefighter Tony Gibbs waded out up to his shoulders, about 30 metres to the campervan, attaching a rope and staying with the family.

Masterton fire station

officer Garry Nielsen said the water had risen up to the dash level, and that a waka ama, stored nearby, was used to float the father and children to safety.

“A little bit of local knowledge, combined with a bit of innovation, and we managed to get

The family were checked over by ambulance staff at the scene. No one was taken to hospital.

“The kids were in really good spirits,” Sutton said.

The rescued family were taken back to Masterton Police Station to be warmed up.

JUMP INTO JULY

After the incident Destination Wairarapa, the regional tourism organisation, stepped into lend a helping hand.

Staff helped facilitate afternoon tea and golf at the driving range at Cafe Solway, dinner at The Farriers and took them sight-seeing around some

of Masterton’s leading attractions including The Wool Shed, and Queen Elizabeth Park.

They also sorted their travel arrangements to Auckland from where they flew home.

“The community has rallied together and shown generous hospitality with Trust House and many individuals going above and beyond to make this family’s unintentional stop in the Wairarapa, a positive one,” Barb Hyde, marketing manager for Destination Wairarapa, said.

“Special mention must be made of Barbara Woolford, owner of BK Chardonnay Motor Lodge who looked after the family with great kindness.

“As all their baggage was wet this included washing and drying all their possessions, which she did at no charge.

“The family couldn’t believe how kind, friendly and helpful everyone was.

“They ended up enjoying a few days in small town New Zealand soaking up the best of kiwi hospitality and kindness.”

A crane, tow truck, and diver were needed to complete the retrieval of the vehicle.

8 Wairarapa Midweek Local News Wednesday, July 18, 2018

It’s hard to say goodbye to pets I have just returned from the vets after having our 18-year-old smoochy, cuddly, gorgeous cat, Henry, put down.

The week preceding was dreadful, knowing what was coming up and willing the cat to rejuvenate and make an astonishing recovery.

Of course, that wasn’t going to happen and I have to say that anticipating it, feeling the guilt and apologising to him every time he looked at us was far worse than the actual event.

We struggled all week.

This morning before we left for the vets, I was on the computer and Henry was lying on the floor beside me purring away, having a wash after a big breakfast!

This can’t be right I kept telling myself, look at him.

What was temporarily hidden was the heart problem, the arthritis, the thyroid issues and the dementia.

A visit to the vet four weeks prior had given us a warning that this was on the cards.

The other issue we had was that when we moved last, he was so traumatised, he was on anti-depressants for

Graeme Burnard’s cat Frank sleeping in the sun.

weeks.

We are due to move in six weeks’ time and we knew this would be a terrible time for him.

The fact that he ate huge meals every day made the decision more difficult but I think that was due to his dementia.

I recall when I worked as a cook in a rest home, the residents in the dementia wing always had bigger meals than everyone else.

Henry was very quiet

Comment

Graeme Burnard in the car on the way to the vet.

He normally makes a hell of a noise and I did wonder (and hope) if he had in fact got wind of what was up and had helped all of us by carking it on the way.

But no such luck.

There he was peering out at me when we pulled up.

Within minutes of being there, he was heavily sedated and I had 15 minutes with him before the vet came back

and administered the final dose.

Henry never knew a thing and it was all over in 11 seconds.

Wonderful, really.

And I cannot praise the vet and the receptionist on duty highly enough.

Henry and I were treated with dignity, respect and compassion.

But that’s it for us.

In the past three years we have said goodbye to a 20-year-old dog, a 15-year old-dog and an 18-year-

old cat.

No more.

It’s too tough on the heart.

Pets have been a part of my life for 55 of my 62 years.

I cannot remember a time without a cat or a dog around.

It will seem very strange for a while.

In my next column I would like to share some extraordinary pet stories that will warm your hearts on these cold nights.

love berries?

Do you have delicious Berryfruit growing at home? If you do, then now is an important time for pruning. If you aren’t one of the lucky ones … then why not head down to see us at GardenBarn and get yours growing today, we have a great range at great prices!

Pruning is important for getting light into the vines – more sun means more fruit! It also rejuvenates the vine, encouraging more growth of younger & productive branches. It can be confusing about what and when to prune. Here’s a basic guide of what to prune now, but there’s much more information out there on the internet if you want more details.

RASPBERRIES

GRAPES Grape pruning is essential in winter and can make the difference between a good crop and a bad crop. A common mistake people make is not pruning back hard enough! You should aim to cut off as much old wood as possible. This will encourage the growth of new wood, which is where the fruit is produced.

There are two common methods of pruning grapes in NZ, cane pruning being the most common. This is where only two or four “shoots” are selected from the previous seasons growth, kept and trained. All the remaining canes are removed. In spring new growth will appear on the trained vine.

Spur pruning is where one or two long canes are kept (this is called a cordon) and trained along a trellis. In winter, the new canes that have grown along the cordon are cut back to a small shoot containing two buds (a spur). In spring the new growth comes from the buds on the spur.

POTTED POLYANTHUS

It’s important to know whether you have Summer or Autumn fruiting raspberries before you start pruning, because the two types require different methods.

Raspberry crown & root systems are perennial but have biennial canes. Primocanes are first year canes and floricanes are the second year canes.

It should be easy to tell the difference because the young Primocanes will be thinner with greener bark; and the older Floricanes will be thicker with darker brown bark (see diagram below).

If you have summer producers, then they’ll be fruiting on floricanes. If you have autumn producers then they’ll be

fruiting on primocanes.

Floricanes are non fruiting in the first year, they will fruit on the second and then die back after harvest.

Autumn fruiting raspberries are easy to prune. After harvest all the canes can be completely cut off to ground level. It’s as simple as that! Because raspberries have large root systems they tend to send up wandering “suckers”. Keep an eye out for these and cut them off at ground level.

To prune your summer fruiting raspberries you need to remove the canes that produced fruit the previous

BRAMBLES (Blackberries, boysenberries etc): Cut back all the canes that have produced fruit to ground level and remove any others that are weak and spindly. Fresh young canes left on the plant will grow next seasons crop.

BLUEBERRIES: Mature new wood from the last year produces the flower buds for the following season.

Prune to maintain size for easy picking, to keep a good shape and to remove dead, diseased or weak branches.

CURRANTS: Create a vase shape when you prune.

Each year cut back a few old branches and let new ones grow to maximise 2-3 year old wood with fruit bearing spurs.

GOOSEBERRIES: Gooseberries produce fruit on the previous years growth. Prune the previous years growth back to around 2 buds, the fruit will form at the base. Take out any inward shooting stems to keep the centre open and remove any dead or diseased branches. Prune back the main tall stem (the leader) by around a third.

Mayoral quarters for sale

Carterton

Hayley Gastmeier A century-old mansion that sits nestled on land overlooking the Tararua Range is coming up for sale.

The unique home that was built for a mayor was moved onto Carterton’s Norfolk Rd earlier this year.

It was trucked into the region in eight loads from Bulls, where it had been stored in about 20 pieces in a yard.

At 375sqm, the house was designed and built in 1905 for James Alfred Nash, who served as mayor of Palmerston North from 1908 to 1923, and his wife, Elizabeth, who was made a MBE for her war and community work.

Last year, it was strategically removed from Alfred St in Palmerston North to make way for a new housing development.

The 112-year-old building was pieced back together on the 1.5ha Carterton section in March.

It had been purchased by a couple, who have since decided to sell it due to a change in circumstances.

It will be sold by auction at the end of August, with real estate agents

The house on Norfolk Rd, Carterton. PHOTO/SUPPLIED

To see a house of this significance get demolished would just be a disaster . . . it’s pretty much as good as the day it was built, the timber is just immaculate expecting “very strong interest”.

Benn Milne and Jillayne McGregor of Property Brokers are marketing the elaborate villa.

Milne said he was excited to be selling the rare property, which

would be officially on the market by the beginning of next month, if not earlier.

He said the house would be ideal for someone with a passion for history, and who was keen to restore the villa back to its former glory.

They would also have to appreciate the highquality craftsmanship that went into building it over a century ago.

With a 14-foot stud, the house boosts ceilings of original pressed tin and matai floorboards.

The 14 rooms have vintage wallpaper, and

intricate rimu wall panelling, fire place surrounds, and door archways that were handcarved by an Englishman who was brought over to New Zealand specifically for the project.

If it hadn’t been for Mike O’Byrne, owner of Bulls-based business Central House Movers, the house may have been demolished to make way for a new subdivision “To see a house of this significance get demolished would just be a disaster . . . it’s pretty much as good as the day it was built, the timber is

just immaculate,” he told the Times-Age in March.

Moving it off the Palmerston North section had been “an immense amount of trouble”, with O’Byrne’s team sectioning the house up so it could be moved via roads.

Then they spent a week in Wairarapa fitting the pieces back together like a jigsaw puzzle.

The house was a “real one off ” and he couldn’t bear to see it pulled down.

Milne said it was “near impossible” to put a value on the house, but Quotable Value would try to next week.

Free laptop welcomed by Carterton family

A “real difference” has been made to a Carterton family who were gifted a free laptop as a surprise gesture from the Masterton Library recently.

The story begins a few months ago when the Spark Foundation gave a Chromebook to the library for their work with the Spark Jump Course locally.

Spark Jump helps families get home broadband so their children can continue learning out of school hours.

Digital Services Manager at Masterton District Library Paul Greville said a Carterton family was chosen to be the recipient of the surplus Chromebook.

“It so happened that a few weeks before we had

received a really useful bit of feedback from Lucy Darroch, one of our course attendees, that really made it clear how much of a godsend a cheap internet connection was for a struggling family and how materially it would change their lives and the opportunities they could offer their children,” he said.

“This feedback so encapsulated why we do what we do with Spark Jump that we have referred to it in a dozen reports and a score of meetings to illustrate how important internet access can be for young single income families.”

Greville said when he thought of who the laptop gift would make a real difference

for, he immediately thought of Darroch and her two children Sumer, 7, and newborn River.

“Lucy and her partner live in Carterton and have no computer in the house, only their phones to access the

internet.

“This arrangement is becoming increasingly difficult as Lucy begins to think about CV’s and job-hunting once more and now that Summer is bringing more and more homework from school requiring access to the web.

“This seemed a perfect solution for all involved and allowed us to repay Lucy for her tremendously constructive feedback that has so helped us these past months.”

Darroch said the gift would help the family “so much “I don’t have to go from house to house borrowing computers to do my basic tasks.

“This will make a real change in our lives”.

Euthanasia bill up for debate Pam Graham National’s Alastair Scott is hoping a public meeting he is organising in Carterton to discuss euthanasia will help people understand the complexities of an emotive issue.

The Wairarapa MP has invited ACT party leader David Seymour and National MP Maggie Barry to the 6pm meeting on July 23 at the Carterton Events Centre.

Seymour’s End of Life Choice Bill has made it through the first reading in Parliament and Barry had been developing a broad National discussion around euthanasia for several years.

Scott said Seymour and Barry had discussed the issue at meetings in other

Beehive owner not fooled A 31-year-old Carterton man pleaded guilty last week to multiple charges, including receiving $5600 of stolen beehives, and perverting the course of justice by threatening a witness.

Interim name suppression was granted to the man in Masterton District Court, despite police prosecutor Sergeant Tom Andrews’ submission that the public deserved to know his identity.

Judge Ian Mill approved the interim name suppression to remain in place until sentencing in September.

A total of 16 double beehives were stolen from a secluded, rural property at Mt Bruce, sometime between March 9 and 19 this year. The accused was charged with receiving at least eight of the beehives.

Together with an associate, he altered the appearances of the hives by painting them and adding registration numbers to each.

The associate was formerly employed by the victim, who was out of pocket $5600, with each beehive valued at $700.

On March 30, the defendant posted eight of the beehives for sale on a Facebook page.

The victim became suspicious and, through her own enquires, established the link between her ex-employee and the accused. The victim then purchased back the hives for a total of $3200.

The accused was charged with perverting the course of justice for “threatening and intimidating” a prosecution witness through a Facebook message on June 18.

He also pleaded guilty to a charge of drink-driving, failing to surrender to police the keys to his vehicle, and causing loss by deception for selling an iPhone online but only sending the purchaser the empty packaging box.

regions, and there had been a good turnout and debate.

He said there had been a record number of submissions to Parliament on the issue, indicating people were interested.

“Since we have this bill in Parliament, we need to understand what it actually says,” Scott said.

He said most people had a general view of what euthanasia was – they equated it to putting a dog out of misery by talking about it to the vet.

“But I don’t think we have a very good understanding of the actual bill Seymour is promoting.

“We need to understand all the circumstances that need to be allowed for

in this bill,” he said.

The vote during the first reading was a conscience vote and Scott voted against.

He said some MPs who were undecided had voted in favour at the first reading and may not do so later.

“I’m pretty sure I will be a ‘No’ all the way through, but I am able to listen,” he said.

Scott said he wasn’t a religious person.

“I’m more around supporting and protecting the vulnerable, the elderly, the disabled,” he said.

He said the Wairarapa electorate was one of the “older” electorates demographically and also had the highest membership of the Anglican church.

MIDWEEK PHOTOS

Do you have a good work-life balance?

Piece of mind

Opinion

Emily Ireland You have to be pretty dedicated about your work if you don’t throw the towel in after working seven days in a row for weeks and weeks on end.

I think the most I have worked in a row was 13 days at my old job in Australia.

It was a customer service job, and I was the grumpiest person to be around on day 13, I can tell you that now.

The thing is as soon as we find ourselves working more than living, it starts to do our head in.

You start to ask yourself, why do I work?

Is it to afford the house I live in, the food I eat, the hobbies I do?

Is there a way that I

could be enjoying life more on a smaller budget, and therefore needing to work less?

Probably.

But with the costs of conventional living rising, most of us are naturally stuck in this work rut where it seems all we do is get up, go to work, go home, and go to bed – just to do it all again the next day.

It especially feels this way in winter when our hours of daylight are quite limited.

So, let’s think about our lives and where we spend most of our waking hours.

If it’s at work for weeks on end, you better make sure you love your job.

Because a happy humble

CUTIES OF THE WEEK

life is far better than a miserable but financially comfortable life.

For our local chefs and other workers who are struggling to maintain a healthy work-life balance, let us be kind to them.

Compliment the chef if you have had a nice meal, understand the circumstances if your restaurant experience has been unsatisfactory.

Offer critical feedback, not nasty feedback.

And if you cross paths with any hard worker in your travels, ask them how they really are, tell them they are doing a good job if they are, and let them know where they can get help if they need it.

You never know when someone’s last day off was or what their personal situation is.

As a good friend has told me: “Just be nice. It’s that simple”.

Ti kouka kete Kete in which food would be steamed were often made of ti kouka (cabbage tree) leaves, like this one, as the leaf leaves no bitter taste in the food.

Kete were also used for food gathering, with the open weave allowing water or earth to escape.

This kete is one of the many currently on display in the Nga Aho Raranga exhibition at Aratoi, featuring textiles from the Taonga Maori Collection.

COMMUNITY CENTRE BUZZ Beverley Jack

Extra

Wairarapa Community Centre manager The Wairarapa Community Centre has been actively supporting our community since 2002.

One of the ways we do this is by working with others to develop projects that meet community needs.

This week we held a farewell function for two of our long-term Trustees.

Our Trustees are volunteers and the governing body of the Community Centre who ensure future direction, strategic planning, financial stability and legal obligations are monitored and adhered too.

We wish them both well in their new ventures and are seeking expressions of interest from community minded people who may be interested in filling these vacancies.

This week we also welcome a new organisation based here at the Community Centre.

“Mosaic “has launched this service in the Wairarapa to support male survivors of sexual abuse.

Weekly

We are excited to announce our Community Kitchen meals are now being cooked from the Centre’s commercial kitchen.

We were going to call this project Wai Kai but have realised another business is

using this name so we have renamed it “Community Kitchen”, which better reflects the community focus of this project.

Community Kitchen collaborates with volunteers and community organisations to prepare meals which agencies then distribute to identified people/families in times of crisis.

We would like to thank the many groups and individuals who have donated, and continue to donate, funds, resources and kitchen items, or have made a commitment to help cook.

Community groups who are supporting this project include Masterton District Council, Trust House, RSA, Ricoh NZ, Masterton Foodbank, Wai Waste, Mstn Holdsworth Lions Club, Wairarapa Women’s Centre, Supporting Families.

We have an ongoing need for surplus herbs/veges from your garden, and for volunteers to cook or assist.

If you can help, we would love to hear from you.

Monthly

Heart Help Group Wairarapa is a monthly forum for anyone with heart disease to share their personal stories and get information and support.

They have a guest speaker each month to talk about relevant topics that the group identify.

The group meets on the third Wednesday of each month at 4pm here at the Community Centre.

Come along if you are interested.

• For more information about any of these groups, contact the Wairarapa Community Centre on 06 3771022 or pop into 41 Perry Street, Masterton.

Big Boy aka Patch is a 7-year-old kitty who needs to find a new home.

He’s been throwing his 9.1kg weight around at the rest home he’s living in and the other resident kitties aren’t impressed!

So Big Boy needs to move on to a home with no other cats.

Despite Big Boy’s tendency to be a bit of a bully, he’s a lovable boy who gets on well with dogs and is smoochy, cuddly and likes to watch TV with his owner.

He’s also a good hunter and enjoys the outdoors so he would make a great farm or lifestyle block kitty.

He would suit a home without other cats and young children.

Big Boy is desexed, vaccinated, microchipped, FIV tested and up to date with flea/worm treatment.

His adoption fee is $90.

If you are interested in this handsome boy call Lee at KittyCat Rehoming on 021 0843 8935 or email kittycatrehoming@gmail.com • KittyCat Rehoming Wairarapa is a registered Charitable Trust no.CC54963 that works across the Wairarapa to find loving homes for stray and abandoned cats and assists owners in difficult circumstances to rehome their cats.

by Facebook. They hope to have it up and running again soon.

WAIRARAPA Date of Birth: 2 December 2017 Breed: Medium Cross Breed Gender: Female Size: Medium Personality: Friendly and Outgoing Adoption Status: Available for Adoption Other Pets: Plays with other dogs, not suitable for a home with cats/small animals.

My story I was surrendered to the SPCA by my owner as they didn’t have enough time for me.

What’s special about me I am a very sweet girl who is becoming more clever each day. I already know a few things and have great potential. I would really benefit from continuing training with obedience classes, to also bond with my new companion. I am very friendly and loving and enjoying meeting new people, and have a decent amount of energy so would benefit from lots of exercise or a job to do!

I have spent countless hours studying content for a range of courses, tests and programmes in my lifetime.

The technique that I often use is to read and highlight texts.

Daniel T Willingham, author of Why Students Don’t Like School, suggests two proven methods that are a lot more effective, these being to: take notes in your own words, and answer questions about the content covered.

Both processes are a little harder than simply highlighting, but they do require more processing, therefore a higher chance of actually remembering.

What is this moment worth?

Whatever you are doing now, what would you pay to travel back in time to experience it again when you’re in your later years?

This perspective is described by start-up investor Muneeb Ali and is shared in Tim Ferris’s book Tribe of Mentors.

From my perspective, I am sitting down on Sunday morning having just had coffee and reading the paper.

My daughters are in the next rooms, my wife is outside, and my dog is asleep on the couch; all are just moments away.

This moment in 40 years’ time will be priceless, and if it’s priceless then, it should be equally so now.

Begin it Phone (06) 377 1379 or pop into REAP House, 340 Queen Street, Masterton.

Note that payment conÞrms your enrolment.

A great quote from Goethe “Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it”.

Essentially, we can do almost

Midweek Musings

Tim Nelson anything; reach fitness goals, learn new skills, experience different things, etc. Despite this, most of what we could do doesn’t get done because we simply don’t get started, in most cases because it just seems too hard to do, or perhaps we are doing too many things at once, but doing each thing without fully committing.

Here’s a strategy – choose one thing you want to do, put in a plan to achieve it, set a timeframe, then, as Goethe’s quote encourages, begin it.

Living your good life

Yesterday I read this quote by Mike Burdrant, “If you’re happy living a life that some might consider mediocre, then you’re not living a mediocre life at all.” This is really all about expectations, your expectations.

There is no need to live the dreams of others, allowing them to live their lives through you.

Costa Rica continually comes out as one of the happiest countries in the world, yet the people don’t live lives (in general) that many in the western world would consider successful, yet who are we to judge, and, in truth, there are many of us who would benefit from having less expectations and enjoying what we do have.

Appreciate the value of 10 minutes

Ingvar Kamprad is the founder of IKEA. He believes in the value of 10 minutes and how much can be achieved in this relatively short period of time.

Kamprad believes that an effective productivity strategy is to split our time into 10-minute slots, always looking to make the most of, and be conscious of, every slot.

Conversely, he knows how easy it is to waste 10 minutes,

essentially saying that it’s important to be aware of how valuable time is as a finite resource.

Plateaus

In George Bernard’s excellent book Mastery, he shared the idea of plateaus in our learning and the necessity of both appreciating these times and overcoming them.

The plateau is when we hit a period in which the initial enthusiasm has passed, we don’t see that quick progress, and things get a little harder.

This is often the time in which we give up the challenge, looking for our next ‘new thing’ then repeating the cycle.

However, we need to enjoy the plateau, looking to overcome it with continued effort and the knowledge that with hard work and perseverance we can push through the hard times to achieve the success we want.

Learning about getting better from unlikely places

Recently, I watched Dancing with the Stars, an episode in which David Seymour was eliminated.

David was clearly the weakest dancer of the five in the semifinals and when things came down to a dance-off to see which of the bottom two would be leaving the show everyone knew it would be him, and this turned out to be the case.

Despite David’s lack of skills, it was clear to see that he had made huge progress over the duration of the series.

When speaking to the hostess about his experience on the show David shared this comment: “You can achieve anything if you really work hard and put your mind to it”.

This simple formula is so true, things really come down to hard work and self-belief.

Enliven’s Kandahar Home helps carers take a break

Retiring President of Learning Disabilities Association (LDA) Wairarapa, Di Grant, welcomed Associate Minister for Education Tracey Martin.

Making a real difference

Kandahar Home’s Clinical Nurse Manager, James Joy.

It’s no secret that caring for a loved one can take its toll. That’s why Masterton’s Kandahar Home and Court is encouraging family carers to take advantage of its short-term respite service.

“Our respite service enables carers to take a break, which is really important as these people are often looking after loved ones almost 365 days of the year,” says Clinical Nurse Manager James Joy. “Giving carers time to take care of themselves is not just crucial for them, it’s also in the interests of the elders they’re supporting. It may mean their carers feel able to help them for longer,” he explains.

At Kandahar Home, all respite guests have their own rooms, enjoy access to 24-hour care, and are welcome to engage in the home’s tailored recreation

programme, which includes activities like arts and crafts, sight-seeing tours, gentle exercise and themed parties.

“Many of our guests tell us they quite like the change of routine which respite offers – it’s like having a little holiday away from home,” notes James.

“Respite also gives elders a good opportunity to learn more about what rest home life is actually like and many end up forming great relationships with the staff and residents here.”

Enliven’s Kandahar Home is located on 8 Roberts Road, Lansdowne, Masterton and offers rest home and hospital care, respite and health recovery care, and a day programme. To learn more visit www.enlivencentral.org.nz or call 06 370 0447.

Alchemy is the only way to describe what took place at the Learning Disabilities Association of New Zealand (LDANZ) Conference in Masterton earlier this month.

The conference, which ran from July 6 to 8, put a spotlight on dyslexia: those at the forefront of research, parents, students and entrepreneurs, teachers and specialists.

Pott Butler of LDA Wairarapa said the level of discussion was “exceptional” and that many views had been “transformed”.

Following a welcome

by Masterton Mayor Lyn Patterson, Tracey Martin, Associate Minister for Education, opened the conference with a lively and forthright explanation of her vision for young people with dyslexia.

Earlier, Matthew

Strawbridge, who has spent his teenage years encouraging other students to reach out towards their potential, ran a workshop for 25 Wairarapa children.

Strawbridge came back in the evening to inspire the whole conference with his own dyslexia journey.

“The story told by Callan Jennings, a courageous man who has had a difficult journey with dyslexia, and the panel discussion involving Conor Kershaw, local businessman, Sacha Fawbert, a wonderful teacher, and Mark Warren, farmer and author, provided some of the highlights of the conference,” Butler said.

“All agreed how much they owed to these people for their bravery and vulnerability in sharing their experience of and insight into living

with dyslexia.”

The Managing Trustee of the Dyslexia Foundation of New Zealand captured the immediate attention of everyone in the room on Saturday with her introduction, “I am Esther Whitehead and I assume everyone is dyslexic unless proven otherwise”.

“As we listened to research on early identification of children struggling with literacy and learned more about special accommodations that can be arranged for a student by NZQA, it became clear that timely and systematic intervention benefits all children and can lead to better outcomes for everyone,” Butler said.

Apprentice didn’t know he ‘wood’ win Masterton man Troy Davies has been named Apprentice of the Year 2018 at the Southern North Island Wood Council awards.

Troy has worked for Bushline Forest Harvesting for the past three years.

He recently completed his Competenz forestry apprenticeship and is now a Head Breaker Out for the company.

“I literally finished my last paper a month before the awards night,” Troy said.

“The programme I was on involved training on the skids, the dozers and other forestry equipment.

“Now I’ve finished my apprenticeship, I’ve got more responsibility, but the learning doesn’t stop there.

“There’s more training on the horizon and I’ll be looking to get more qualifications on other

aspects of the forestry industry.”

Troy says he was shocked to receive the award.

“I was really surprised.

“My work colleagues had been telling me I would win, but I didn’t

believe them.

“It was a real honour, and to win Apprentice of the Year was awesome.”

For anyone considering an apprenticeship in the forestry industry, Troy says “go for it”.

“It’s definitely the way to go. A Competenz apprenticeship is great for anyone, especially school leavers and a great way to ease into the industry.”

Troy enjoys forestry, especially the physicality of the job.

“I love being outdoors, being in a physical environment and I work with a great crew – that makes the day go really well.”

For now, he is “pretty happy” with where he is at the moment.

“I’ll keep working towards another qualification and if any opportunities come along, I’ll take them.”

MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR

REPRESENTING OUR COMMUNITY

Kia ora, People tend to say winter is the quiet time, it’s not feeling that way here at Council.

At the last Council meeting elected members reviewed the make -up of council and resolved to propose some changes.

Having adopted our Long-Term Plan we’re now all ready to go and get started on some of the key projects, including the town centre rejuvenation which you can read more about below. It’s an exciting time and I can’t wait to see some more vibrancy brought into the town centre.

We’re also keen to hear your views on the current arrangements for Council representation. At the moment our arrangements are to have 10 Councillors and the Mayor, with some of those Councillors elected to represent urban and rural ‘wards’.

At our last Council meeting we discussed this at length and Council decided that there wasn’t a need for the ward representation.

We’ve now proposed that all our Councillors are elected as ‘at-large’ (across the district) representatives. We’re keen to hear what you think of this proposal. You can fill out a quick submission form online via our website.

Under the current arrangements we have a mixed model with some Councillors elected by ward and some “at large” (by the whole District).

I also wanted to touch on the Wairarapa Hospital building. Earlier this month we shared some information that draft engineering reports indicate the building, or parts of it, may not be fully compliant.

We are working closely with the Wairarapa District Health Board to ascertain the status of the building and will be updating the community as soon as we can.

For now, take care and stay warm, Lyn Patterson.

PLANNING OUR FUTURE TOWN CENTRE Masterton District Council has adopted its Long-Term Plan – setting out the roadmap for our District over the next 10 years.

It’s an exciting time and one of the big projects MDC is kicking off is the rejuvenation of our town centre.

Council has confirmed provision of $3.63 million to develop the town centre. Our vision is to create a vibrant and energising space that our community values and wants to take advantage of. All feedback provided by our community is being considered when developing different options for the town centre.

Earlier this month we kicked off some discussions on the possibilities with business owners and other people closely involved with the town centre.

We were lucky to be able to bring Sir Bob Harvey down from Auckland to learn from his experience in developments in Auckland.

Sir Bob also brought with him some of the best in business when it comes to urban development.

Our urban design specialists, Boffa Miskell, are working on an initial plan, which will be presented to Council in the next couple of months.

The development of a new civic centre and future of the library are also included in the town centre redevelopment. To make the best decisions on some of these key developments we will be asking for your feedback in due course.

We are proposing a change that would see all 10 members, and the Mayor, elected at large. The number of Councillors would remain the same, but there wouldn’t be any wards.

We aren’t suggesting any other changes to our current representation arrangements, and the proposal does not impact on MDC’s Iwi representatives.

We are keen to hear what you think about this proposal and whether you think this will be an effective way to represent the Masterton District community. Are you happy with all members being elected at large? Head to our website to tell us what you think. Submissions close 4:30pm 13th August.

DEVELOPING OUR COMMUNITY Are you part of a community group aiming to do great things for Masterton? We’re now taking applications for the Community Development Grant which aims to support groups to improve, maintain or expand their service, recruit or retrain staff and volunteers or increase membership.

Council supported 29 organisations allocating $58,000 through the Community Development Grant Fund last year.

One of last year’s recipients is Waiwaste Food Rescue which collects unwanted food from supermarkets and local bakeries, restaurants and food retailers. The team works collaboratively with Foodbank, delivering the rescued food to them.

The grant received through the Community Development Grant helped the team cover coordination and other overhead costs.

“As the community recognition of food waste is becoming a more important issue, Waiwaste is growing very quickly and finds that it needs financial support to coordinate its activities. The Community Development Grant certainly enables that”.

More info is available at mstn.govt.nz.

Applications close 3 August.

Marae Development Fund applications are also open now. Eligible Marae can find more information and an application form on our website. Applications close 9 August.

DOG REGO RECORDS We would like to say a big thank you to everyone who has made the effort to pay their dog registrations.

At the end of June the number of dogs registered was much higher than the same period last year, which is a fantastic result.

This makes our job easier when it comes to delivering the dog-related services that dog registrations pay for, including dealing with dog attacks, barking and straying dogs, and other requests for service. It also pays for: •

promoting better care and control of animals

QUICK UPDATES

Masterton Town Centre Memorial Park grandstand

Our contractors have been working hard to get the strengthening work on the grandstand completed.

All the work will be completed in the next week or so to enable it to be open for key winter sports games at the end of the month.

•

responding to reports of uncontrolled dogs

•

taking action against owners of unregistered and uncontrolled dogs

•

providing information and education to local schools and communities.

We have also introduced the option for people to become recognised as a responsible dog owner, which enables a discount to be applied to dog registrations.

You have until the end of July to pay your dog registration before penalties are applied.

Netball facility Lots of sports teams have been making use of the new facility as the winter weather has set in. Everything is up and running, including the impressive lighting system which can be booked for use in the outer courts. The inner main courts will be resurfaced in the summer.

Matariki and the comet Sky Watch

Nick Sault Matariki has been all over the news since May. Back then the Maori new year was heralded by the first rising of the star cluster, but it is easier to view now.

With the mornings so dark, you should catch it at 6am, which is not such an early hour for us poor working people.

Over the next few mornings, it rises in the north-east; that is, you’d be looking straight up the plain, where the little cluster should be hovering there.

Though I try to make these articles appealing to people without the use of equipment, you should get a chance to view Matariki (or Pleiades as it was known to the ancient Greeks) with binoculars.

With the unaided eye, you can see seven stars in the cluster on a clear dark night, but you can multiply that by a factor of 10 with a good pair of prismatic binoculars.

Large telescopes reveal up to 500 stars, plus a blue gaseous haze around the brightest stars in the

With the unaided eye, you can see seven stars in the cluster on a clear dark night, but you can multiply that by a factor of 10 with a good pair of prismatic binoculars. cluster.

These are relatively new and very hot blue stars, and that blue haze can be seen in the picture here.

I did promise an update on the comet we are expecting by year end.

Well, one of the nicest things I found out, especially regarding Matariki, is that around December 18, comet 47P/ Wirtanen will pass very close to the star cluster.

That will be something to see, especially if the comet reaches expected brightness.

It will be an evening apparition by then, but of course at that time of year you will need to be out late to get a dark sky.

The comet is currently still more than 100 million

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.

This is quite close enough for a mass of rock and ice weighing half a billion tonnes.

47P is quite a small comet, but still not one you would want smacking

into your bit of ocean at 25 kilometres per second.

It can only be seen with large telescopes currently, but should reach magnitude 3 at closest approach.

This is as bright as the two lesser stars in the Southern Cross.

Featherston FULL OF FLAVOUR

Fast developing subdivision captures the spirit of flourishing Featherston

FOR ALL YOUR NZ CHEESE NEEDS, C’est Cheese

FOR ALL YOUR SERVICE STATION NEEDS, Adamsons Service Station

Old fashioned service still the norm at Adamsons Service Station

THE NEW SUBDIVISION AT McKERROW PLACE, Patrick & Scott ASSORTED BAKED THINGS, Village Baker

We are getting lots of enquiries from prospective purchasers looking for land to build on, and even property developers looking to create another subdivision.

The trouble is trying to get your hands on suitable land!

Now in its 91st year, Adamsons Service Station continues to be the hub of the Featherston community.

An example of this interest is the transformation at McKerrow Place. It is exciting to watch the new subdivision taking shape with all ten sections sold, and five new homes being built at the one time.

It is one of a diminishing number of familyowned garages, giving old-school personal service to its customers - filling up vehicles, cleaning windows and checking the oil.

Owners Brian and Lily Adamson are the third generation of the family to own the service station since it opened in 1927.

Featherston is becoming a magnet for young families and creative people with the sales team of Fran Scott and Jacqui Jones helping them find the right home.

They count a large number of long serving staff among their forecourt attendants including John Tobin (21 years), Russell Mannix (15 years), Will Bonne (10 years) and Greg Coe (21 years) Maria Berry has become an indispensable part of the business since becoming its manager two and a half years ago.

HELPING YOU READ, KNOW, LEARN AND GO, For the Love of BOOKS

Brian and Lily like to support their local community through sponsoring community groups such as schools and sports clubs, for example, recently supporting the Featherston Rugby Club celebrate its 140th anniversary.

Petrol remains the bread and butter of Adamsons but they have all the other essentials for a pit stop including firewood, pine cones and coal for the winter months, refill gas for bottles, plus pies in the warmer and sandwiches in the cabinet, and for fishers, ice, bait and tackle.

Adamsons Service Station is open Monday to Friday 6am to 8pm, and weekends 7am to 8pm. It is only closed on Christmas Day.

The demographics of Featherston have changed considerably over the past three years, and with that we are seeing the demand for housing and sections growing daily at Professionals Patrick & Scott LTD.

With 14 years’ experience in a rapidly changing market, Fran’s experience, knowledge and involvement with the community has earned her a reputation for working hard for her clients and consistently achieving the best price for their properties.

Jacqui has been selling real estate in Featherston for the past two years for Professionals Patrick and Scott.

Having raised her family in Featherston and being a part of the community, Jacqui has a genuine interest in helping people in a town that is close to her heart.

Winter tramping guide With fresh winter icing on the Tararuas, NIGEL BONIFACE of the Masterton Tramping Club has a guide for those keen to hit the hills in the cold.

PHOTO/GETTY IMAGES

So, you’re wanting to head out on a tramp this winter?

Keep in mind that weather in the mountains of New Zealand can change by the hour.

You should be prepared for cold weather in any season, Always have a plan of where you are going, write it down and give it to someone responsible.

The plan should include information on where you are going, the names of those on the trip, vehicle registration, and when you expect to be home.

If you have a mobile phone, put the phone number in the plan.

Are all the members in your party capable of completing the planned route, in the weather conditions you expect?

If you are not home by your planned time your responsible person should phone your mobile, and if no reply phone the Police.

conditions are likely to be milder than above the bush-line on any given day as there is more shelter.

Above the bush-line a moderate wind on the tops may be a gale through any low points, as air will always take the route of least resistance.

If it is cold, wet, or windy, be on the lookout for signs of hypothermia in party members.

If the wind is strong enough to knock you off your feet, maybe you should not be there.

In poor visibility on the tops, navigation becomes more difficult as landmarks will be difficult to see.

Always consider turning back if you do not like the conditions.

Better to come back another day than not get home.

Also bear in mind that winter sunshine, especially in snow, can give you sunburn.

Weather

Clothing

Get a mountain forecast before you go.

Forecasts are usually reasonably accurate 1-3 days in advance, but local conditions can change rapidly.

Be prepared to not go.

In any season you should use layers so as to be able to regulate your body temperature.

In winter you may need more layers.

cold when wet), or merino wool (slow to dry, warm if wet).

Outer layers should consist of wind and waterproof materials, top and leggings.

Hat and gloves are a necessity, and good socks help protect your feet from blisters and keep feet warm.

Always have a set of dry clothes to put on in a hut.

If you have wet clothes it may be necessary to put on wet clothes next morning, (they will dry as your body warms), rather than get all your clothes wet.

Too many changes of clothes will result in too much weight to carry.

Boots

A pair of sturdy, reasonably waterproof and rigid boots will help protect your feet and give you a secure footing.

A pair of gaiters not only helps keep stones and snow out of your boots but also helps protect your shins.

Food and drink

You are likely to need more food during colder weather.

This includes snacks, lunches and an evening meal – something easy to prepare and nourishing.

On day trips a hot thermos is more convenient than boiling a billy, but heads up – it’s not such a good excuse

for a longer rest!

Emergency equipment

Don’t forget to take a first aid kit, some emergency food, shelter, a survival blanket, large pack liner, or maybe a plastic sheet that can be used as a ground sheet and shelter.

Mobile phones only work in some places in the mountains, where you have line of sight and a reasonably short distance to a cell tower.

Do not rely on a cell phone to work.

Today a personal locator beacon (PLB) is probably the most common form of communicating an emergency situation – they

can be hired or bought.

A mountain radio can also be hired.

This also enables you to receive weather forecasts, as well as update your contact regarding any change of plans.

Other devices which can be hired or bought enable users to send and receive text type messages as well as having an emergency button.

River Crossings

Crossing a river will be colder in winter, and potentially faster flowing.

Assess the conditions and if in doubt as to the ability of all the party to cross safely, don’t!

The power of co-managing Next week is an exciting one as I introduce Rowena Stauber to Volunteering Wairarapa to assist in co-managing Volunteering Wairarapa as a job-share.

Rowena will be working from our Masterton office in the Wairarapa Community Centre on Mondays and Thursdays.

When I arrived late last year, I recognised that being the sole ‘paid’ person responsible for all the functions of Volunteering Wairarapa was what is called in the Information Technology world a ‘single point of failure’.

When I took on the management position the ‘paid’ person had left months before, so our service levels had plummeted.

It took effort and tenacity in those first six months to create the systems, train up volunteers to assist and get the service up and running so we could react to all enquiries in a professional manner.

It is now time to share my knowledge of the operation with someone else to ensure that we don’t have that ‘single point of failure’ again.

Sharing my recent experiences with others working in the not-forprofit sector, I have found

share is working, and what benefits it brings to Volunteering Wairarapa, in a few months’ time.

Opportunities at Volunteering Wairarapa

“Treasurer” required The Friends of Aratoi Committee are looking for a Treasurer to prepare accounts and assist with the preparation of budgets.

Jill Greathead that my experience is not unusual.

Because of increased compliance and the dependence on computer systems, the knowledge and skills that ‘management’ require has increased.

Should there be a break in the employment of a manager without the process of inducting someone new, then ‘single

of point of failure’ kicks in and the service will be compromised.

The past few months have reminded me of the book ‘The Power of Co’ (Twyfords Consulting 2012) which exemplifies the benefits of people working together effectively.

Wind coming to Greytown Is Wellington really the windiest city in the world?

Maybe.

In any case, while it is unclear whether there is a link, the city is certainly home to some many successful wind players.

Wellington Wind, a wind octet of players from Orchestra Wellington, will be performing in Greytown on Sunday, July 29.

It will be a homecoming of sorts for principal oboist Merran Cooke, pictured in the middle wearing a green pendant.

Merran is the daughter of Juliet and Ed Cooke, who run the Greytown Music Group.

She grew up in Greytown, attending Greytown Primary School and Kuranui College.

It has been many years since Merran last performed in Greytown, and she said she was very much looking forward to the opportunity of “performing some gorgeous music on home territory”.

The players perform regularly together in Orchestra Wellington, but first got together as a chamber group earlier this year for a performance of the Dvorak Wind Serenade at St Andrew’s on the Terrace.

The Wings over Wairarapa Air Festival 2019 is adding another element to an already iconic event for New Zealand.

As well as flying with the much-loved WWI, WWII, modern military, gliders, agricultural, helicopters, and first ever Night Show, the 2019 Air Festival will have a strong emphasis on education and careers for youth.

Chair Bob Francis said the education and careers initiative had been well thought out and was motivated to open up the aviation industry for youth.

“Our education and careers programme will feature across all three

days of the Air Festival,” he said.

“On Friday, February 22, we are inviting all Wairarapa schools to come to Hood Aerodrome and learn about the world of aviation.

“We will have dedicated zones groundside that will focus on careers, training, technology, space, science and engineering.

“All of the zones will be interactive and will have experts in each field available to talk with students and teachers, opening up their minds to the many varied and interesting fields within aviation, that they may not have considered before.”

REAP Wairarapa

Schools Liaison Trudy Sears has been working closely with Wings operations manager Chris Tracey to develop a robust, interactive and engaging programme for students of all ages.

“The programme is aligned with the STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) curriculum and will provide students with visual and hands-on STEM experiences, an added bonus for students and teachers.

“Meeting STEM requirements is great, but more than this we want to ignite passion and spark interest in students for the aviation industry.

His favourite challenge during the competition, however, was working on a quadbike which the team aced.

Max’s mother, Luce, said the kids were out on the farm any chance they had – be it by foot, on horseback or motorbike.

“I’m very proud of the Whips, they made Tinui proud.”

She said the thing that set the team apart from other areas was the immense support from locals.

She said the kids spent every spare minute on the farm.

Parents arranged for experts to educate the kids on specific modules before the competition.

“They did a bit of fundraising at school selling sausages, but also had fantastic sponsorship for their uniforms.”

Tinui School principal Richard Lennox said he was “super proud” of the team and the effort they and their community put in leading up to the competition.

“It’s a real challenge competing against other teams from across the country — it’s not easy.”

He said the school had often placed in the competition.

This year was the third straight year that Tinui School was on the podium.

The Tinui Whips were awarded medals, jerseys, and vouchers for coming third.

“We were so excited when they called our names out,” Max said.

Leaving the competition, Max said the team’s van got stuck in the mud when trying to leave the paddock.

“We had to push it out of this big bog. It was so much fun.”

COUNTRY LIVESTOCK

Tinui is home to some of the country’s best future farmers.

The AgriKidsNZ competition promotes the fun parts of agriculture while allowing kids to learn valuable industry skills.

And this year’s grand final in Invercargill saw a total of 63 students in 21 teams from across New Zealand do battle to find the country’s top young farmers.

The Tinui Whips, made up of Jock Johnson, Patrick Wellbrock and Max Williams came third in the grand final.

Max said the competition tested their knowledge of farming, gave them the opportunity to travel, have fun and learn a lot.

He said the competition consisted of an exam and modules such as working on tractors, a quiz on testing for TB in cattle, and soil testing.

Teams then moved on to a race which put the kids through a series of tasks under pressure.

Max said the Whips worked hard to build an electric fence, set up scarecrows and beehives, and make a pancake from scratch – which came out looking “pretty terrible”.

“There was no recipe to follow . . . my friend Jock just chucked a whole lot of

Region confident Pam Graham Businesses in Wairarapa are upbeat about the economy and their own place in it and are looking to hire staff.

There’s been a lot of speculation that moves by the Labour-led government are denting business confidence and the latest confidence survey by the Wellington Chamber of Commerce has some evidence of this.

But not so much in Wairarapa.

In the Wairarapa Chamber of Commerce Business Confidence survey confidence in the national economy and the Wellington economy is well above the regional results.

A net 29 per cent of Wairarapa business respondents expect the Wellington economy to improve during the next 12 months, which is more than the net positive 18 per cent for all respondents in the Wellington region.

A net positive 43 per cent of Wairarapa respondents thought their own business situation would improve, which was similar to the 44 per cent for the wider Wellington region.

Across Wellington confidence in the national economy is a net negative 4 per cent, which means more are pessimistic than optimistic, while in Wairarapa it is a net positive 14 per cent.

Business is buoyant about Wairarapa and its place in the world, says Catherine Rossiter-Stead.

“I wonder if people are feeling really buoyant about Wairarapa and its place in the world to be honest,” says Catherine Rossiter-Stead, the general manager of the Wairarapa Chamber of Commerce.

“There is a general confidence amongst business in Wairarapa. Having said that, there are still some issues and we know what they are.

They’re about water and wage increases,” she said.

A net 43 per cent of Wairarapa businesses expect their business earning to increase during the next 12 months, two points higher than regional expectation.

Of all Wairarapa respondents, 57 per cent expected an increase, while 14

per cent expected a decrease in their earnings during the next twelve months.

More than one in five Wairarapa businesses – 22 per cent – expect to be looking for staff in the coming months and one of their biggest issues is finding qualified staff.

No respondents expect to found it easier to find skilled/ specialist staff than it was 12 months ago, while 56 per cent, say it will be more difficult.

A net positive 7 per cent of Wairarapa businesses expect to invest more in plant and equipment during the next 12 months, this compared to a net positive 20 per cent of respondents throughout the region.

When asked unprompted what barriers or issues they believed were holding back the Wellington economy, the most common issues cited were local and central government leadership, direction, and policy, 30 per cent and 17 per cent of respondents respectively.

Infrastructure barriers accounted for 13 per cent of responses and was the number one issue for businesses in the regional results.

Kitchen design covered

Business

Emily Ireland Jannah Crossan has been in the business of kitchen design for the past five years.

Now, her hard work has been splashed on the front cover of NZ Kitchens & Bathrooms.

Crossan, who works at Carroll’s Joinery – Mastercraft Kitchens in Masterton said she was “shocked” when she found out her design was on the front.

The design is of a kitchen in Cashmere Oaks, Masterton.

She said the achievement was thanks to a combined effort from the Carroll’s Joinery team.

Crossan’s design journey began in the late 1990s when she studied architectural drawing.

“We had a family when we were quite young and at the time it was hard to be a woman in the industry,” she said.

Her career was put on

hold while she focused on her family – “I wanted to be a really good mum”.

“When the kids were a little bit older, I went back to drafting for a while.

“I loved it, but it was hard.

“By the time I got back

into it, everyone had switched over to using computers – I was more into hand-drawing. It was overwhelming to see how fast everything changes.

“Even now, there’s a new thing to learn every day.

“If you’re out of it for

five years, the whole world has changed.”

Crossan “got into kitchens” five years ago, and “hasn’t looked back”.

She moved to Carterton three years ago and started working for Carroll’s Joinery.

In that time, she has seen the resurgence of many popular trends from the late 1990s.

“It’s quite funny seeing the burgundy, navy blue, and greens come back,” she said.

“The white is definitely always a keeper. I remember white being in even when I was doing the drafting.”

She said people were spending “way more” on getting their kitchens done, which reflected the growing importance of the kitchen as the “social hub of the house”.

“I remember when spending $10,000 on a kitchen was just like, wow – high end.

“These days, some people will put sculleries in for more than that.”

Crossan’s design is featured on the front of NZ Kitchens & Bathrooms, with a description of the kitchen and more pictures on page 40 and 41.

Lock up your whisky at Koi in Kuripuni Pam Graham A new kind of storage locker in town – for whisky – is selling fast.

Koi, a new restaurant that held an opening party in Kuripuni last Tuesday, has a whisky lounge where you can rent a locker for $300 a year to store your bottle of whisky purchased from the bar.

Almost all of the 25 lockers had sold on opening night, according to owner Sunny Grewal.

People can name their locker.

Most have temporary names, but one will be called “Pest”.

Grewal said the idea of buying a bottle of whisky and leaving it at the restaurant came from whisky bars in Japan and it was also a personal association for him.

“I am a big whisky lover and the way it started was my grandfather used to drink whisky and he would have those private sessions with his family and friends, sitting in a cosy area with a bottle of whisky on the table and enjoying it,” he said.

The whisky lounge at Koi harks back to those times, with comfy leather chairs in the colonial style.

The restaurant serves dishes from India and Southeast Asia, including with Malaysian and Thai influences.

“I always wanted to do something different in terms of whisky,” he said.

Grewal said his family had been in the hospitality game for about 18 years and had owned businesses in New Plymouth, Tauranga and Auckland.

He opened the first Koi

restaurant and whisky bar in New Plymouth last year.

He has fitted out the former Wairarapa Trading Company bar in four weeks, taking on the premises on June 11.

People with the whisky lockers in New Plymouth typically would have dinner

at the restaurant and then adjourn to the bar for a whisky from their locker.

They can also just have nibbles in the whisky lounge.

Businesses rented lockers and used them for special occasions with clients.

People also purchased

the lockers as gifts.

The business stocks whiskey with an “e” from Ireland and whisky from Scotland as well as Japanese and Indian versions.

It doesn’t yet stock a New Zealand whisky.

Grewal is based in New

Plymouth and has a local business partner who will be managing Koi. He said Kuripuni had a charm about it and he liked the feel of the area.

“Our business model has always been about a community-based style,” he said.

AGM

29 July, 2018 12.15pm Senior Citizen s Hall Cole Street Masterton

South Wairarapa District Council is proud to serve and support this special part of New Zealand with its true ‘mountains to the sea’ experience. South Wairarapa encompasses the three rural towns of Featherston, Greytown and Martinborough, each with their own charm and attributes. We have a vast area of rural hinterland home to many more small communities, edged by the Rimutaka/Tararua Ranges and cradled by kilometres of rugged coastline.

What we need Our current logo was created in 1989 and while it was great then it does not reflect who we are now and the wonderfully diverse community that is South Wairarapa. Help us create a logo that reflects our personality.

What’s important to us?

The South Wairarapa District council are looking for credible creative providers who have the capability, experience and know how to help us create a new logo that reflects who we are. You will be a great communicator, think laterally and be able to transform our vision into reality. You will be able to do all the normal stuff, market research, logo guidelines, know what works in multiple platforms. You know the drill.

Why should you bid?

This is a unique opportunity to be part of South Wairarapa’s history and personality.

Together we will create a visual representation of what it is to live in and love the South Wairarapa.

Interested? What’s next?

If you are interested in this opportunity please get in touch with our contact person Email: Barbara.Gavan@swdc.govt.nz South Wairarapa District Council, 19 Kitchener Street, Martinborough 5711 PO Box 6, Martinborough 5741 Applications for an expression of interest close by 5pm on Wednesday 15th August 2018.

Please contact us and we will send you a detailed information and briefing document.

United win thriller match FOOTBALL

Jake Beleski The Wairarapa United men’s team are back in the quarterfinals of the Chatham Cup knockout competition.

United hosted Stop Out Sports Club at Memorial Park in Masterton on Saturday in a fourth round match, and emerged victorious in a tense clash that went to extra time.

The 2-1 result could so easily have ended more heavily in United’s favour, but they missed several opportunities to put the result beyond doubt before the end of 90 minutes.

In the 27th minute, United’s Azariah Soromon put a simple pass across the Stop Out keeper for striker Hamish Watson to tap the ball into the net.

Stop Out’s defenders appealed for an offside call, but it wasn’t to be as Watson’s timing looked to be inch-perfect.

It was the first highlight

in a wonderful match for Watson, who stepped up in the absence of Paul Ifill to lead the team from the front.

The second half was dominated by United, and they will need to be more clinical with their finishing in their next match if they want to emulate their lone Chatham Cup title, which was won in 2011.

With seven minutes left in regular time, Soromon found himself one-on-one with the goalkeeper, but failed to find the finishing touch that would have secured the win.

That miss proved especially costly a few moments later, when Stop Out worked their way into an attacking position and were awarded a penalty after United’s Cory Chettleburgh couldn’t get his arm out of the way of the ball.

The successful penalty

by Luis Corrales levelled the scores at 1-1 and made for a frantic final five

Hamish Watson for Wairarapa United.

minutes as both teams chased the winning goal.

Neither team could find the crucial strike, however, and the match went into extra time.

As the second half of extra time started, United launched an attack and Watson worked his way into the box.

He was brought down and the referee had no choice but to award a penalty, and he stepped up to the mark with United’s hopes of reaching

the quarterfinals resting squarely on his shoulders.

He confidently drilled the ball into the back of the net, and United held on for a dramatic, but deserved, win.

United captain Cam Lindsay knows they will have to be more clinical in their quarterfinal.

“We made it hard for ourselves at times and certainly had chances to clinch it during the 90 minutes.

“To go to extra time

was a little bit nervy but I thought we actually looked pretty comfortable.”

If the match had been level at the end of extra time the teams would have gone to penalties, and that was something United had been preparing for.

“We have been practising penalties the last couple of trainings, but when it goes to penalties it’s sort of anyone’s game, so it was good to get it done and dusted before then,” Lindsay said.

United are hopeful Ifill may be back from his injury for the quaterfinal match, and Lindsay said that would provide a big boost to the side.

“He’s a big name and even though he’s a little bit older, he’s one of our most consistent players.

“To get the job done without him was really pleasing, but to know we may have him coming back is really good for us as well.”

Wellington march through to semis FOOTBALL

Jake Beleski The Wairarapa United women’s team saw their Kate Sheppard Cup ambitions come to an end on Saturday when they went down 3-1 to Wellington United in their quarterfinal clash in Wellington.

Wellington United have been the form team in this year’s Capital Football W-League competition, winning 10 of their

11 games to date and drawing one match with Wairarapa United.

Anna McPhie opened the scoring for Wairarapa in just the sixth minute, when she rounded the goalkeeper and put the ball into the back of the net.

They managed to hold onto that lead until halftime, and there was plenty of hope they might finally be able to get a win over Wellington.

But Wellington started

strongly in the second half and started to put plenty of pressure on the Wairarapa defence.

Eventually, that pressure was too much for Wairarapa to contain as a cross was headed into the goal in the 52nd minute.

Wellington took their first lead of the match in the 67th minute with another well-taken goal, and then added a third with fulltime approaching to put the result beyond doubt.

The win means Wellington will advance to the semifinals of the knockout tournament, while Wairarapa’s run has come to an end.

They will now turn their attention back to the W-League, where they still have a small chance of running Wellington down to take the title.

With four matches left to play, Wairarapa trail Wellington by five points.

The two teams will meet

again in the penultimate round on August 11, and Wairarapa will most likely have to win that match, and also hope somebody else can beat Wellington, to have any chance of claiming the title.

This weekend they will take on Upper Hutt City in Upper Hutt, while Wellington will tackle bottom-placed Seatoun in a match they will be expected to win comfortably.

Greytown gets semifinal spot RUGBY

Jake Beleski Greytown secured a semifinal clash with Carterton after outplaying Martinborough on Saturday in their battle for third position in the Tui Cup. Martinborough was one point ahead of Greytown going into the match, but Greytown ensured they would head into the playoffs on a winning note with a dominant display.

Greytown, with the support of a large crowd at their home ground, got into their work quickly and looked the more dangerous team in the opening stanzas.

They hit the front with a penalty, but it was the visitors who scored the first try of the match.

Some sustained pressure on the Greytown line was finally rewarded when second five-eighth Tipene Haira stepped his way past a defender and scored next to the post.

Both teams battled for ascendancy as the first half drew closer to the end, but it was Greytown who found their way over for a crucial try.

A clean break by Cyrus Baker put them in an attacking position, and a couple of phases later they put the ball through the hands and found their way over in the corner.

They went into halftime with an 8-7 lead and ran with that momentum early in the second half.

A double strike 15 minutes into the half had Martinborough reeling, and ensured they had a decent buffer heading into the final 20 minutes.

The second of those two tries – scored by No 8 Tavita Isaac – involved some slick interplay between backs and forwards before Isaac dived over beside the posts.

Martinborough did

Category winners were: • Dalefield – Club of the Year • Tania Scott – Coach of the Year • Dalefield Premier Women’s Team – Team of the Year • Dane Lett – People’s Choice • Oliver Bunny – Scholarship The Nielsen Shield was first played in 1991 between Dalefield & Feilding Men’s Teams in when both teams had Nielsen players involved.

Later on the Feilding connection broke down and as there were Jensen & Nielsen players in the Hutt & Dalefield teams, it was decided to award the Challenge Shield to the winner of each game played between the Premier Men Teams in the Wellington Competition.

Last season when Hutt Men and Women decided to combine, Hutt United asked Dalefield if the tradition could be continued.

The request was put to the Jensen/Nielsen family members, as some senior members of both families had passed away recently, the families decided to donate Memorial Shields, with one to be played between the Hutt United and Dalefield Premier Men and the other between Hutt United Women and Dalefield Premier Women team.

Both clubs were happy with this arrangement and the rules would be that each Challenge

Shield be played annually on a home and away basis while both Clubs had a Premier Team in the Wellington Competition i.e. one game per gender per year.

The first challenge will be at Clareville on the 21st July 2018, with Dalefield being the Hosts for the afternoon.

If for any reason either of the Clubs didn’t have a Premier team the Challenge would continue to take place between the most Senior teams of each Club, at a time and place to be decided each year.

The winning Team each year is to have engrave the name and date etc.

manage a late consolation try, but it meant little in the end as Greytown held on for a 28-14 win.

Greytown dominated for large periods of the match but know they will need to go up a gear against an inform Carterton side.

The result meant Greytown went ahead of Martinborough in the standings to book a trip to Carterton for next week’s semifinals.

Carterton triumphed 8-6 when these two teams clashed a week ago, which showed just how little there is between the two sides.

Martinborough will head to Gladstone, disappointed with the result, but they will also be well aware they are the only team to beat Gladstone in the Tui Cup this season.

Their attack looked shaky on Saturday as they struggled to penetrate Greytown’s resolute defence, but that isn’t so surprising as Greytown have conceded the fewest points of any team in the competition.

Martinborough will need to re-gain their attacking spark if they are to have any chance of scoring enough points to beat Gladstone.

In Saturday’s other results, Gladstone came up just short of a century of points against

Masterton Red Star in a 94-7 thrashing, Carterton scored a couple of late tries to beat East Coast 3318, and Marist came away with a narrow 16-13 win over Eketahuna.

In next week’s bottom four premier semifinals, Marist will host Red Star, and East Coast will be at home against Eketahuna.

In senior reserves top four action, the two teams who dominated the round robin will meet in a semifinal next weekend, after Puketoi suffered their third straight loss.

They went down 1815 to Pioneer, and that means they will make the daunting trip to Tuhirangi for their knockout clash.

Tuhirangi beat Carterton 26-12 at home on Saturday, and that means Carterton will make the trip to Pioneer for next week’s other semifinal.

Premier: Greytown 28 Martinborough 14; Gladstone 94 Red Star 7; Carterton 33 East Coast 18; Marist 16 Eketahuna 13.

Senior reserves: Pioneer 18 Puketoi 15; Tuhirangi 26 Carterton 12; Featherston 28 Greytown 0 [defaulted]; Pioneer OB 28 Marist 0 [defaulted]; Martinborough 36 Eketahuna 30; Gladstone 28 East Coast 0 [defaulted].

Club Day

Saturday July 21st Both Premier Teams will play at Clareville against Hutt United at 2-45pm (Women’s) and 4-15pm (Men’s) for Memorial Shields donated by the Nielsen/Jensen families.

All Dalefield players and supporters are invited to attend and support the teams and join in the after match presentations and functions.

Spot prizes for our Dalefield kids.
