Rising above epilepsy Emily Ireland Calvin Winterbottom only gets a few seconds warning before an epileptic episode begins. And with many close calls linked to the medical condition, he says living with epilepsy is like “living with a death sentence over you all the time”. Calvin is vice president of education for Masterton Toastmasters and was diagnosed with epilepsy at the age of 6. He now uses his passion for public speaking to spread awareness about the condition. “Epilepsy is very hard mentally and physically – mentally especially. “To put epilepsy in easy terms to understand – your brain short-circuits, and you can lose control of all or some of your body and sometimes consciousness.

Living with epilepsy

“It can happen anytime, and anywhere”. At the beginning of his diagnosis, it was normal for Calvin to have ﬁve seizures a week, and by the late 80s until now, his epileptic episodes had reduced to once every two years. But the severity is and has been life-threatening. “It’s like you’re always aware of the fact that it can kill you whenever it wants to. “I have been dead once, which makes that even more apparent.” Continued on page 4

Woman shot in Masterton Gianina Schwanecke A 35-year-old Masterton woman was shot in the early hours of Sunday morning, the third shooting in Wairarapa in the past three months. Witnesses said the woman was walking from Tay Pl to Clyde St around 2.50am on Sunday morning, taking a pack of cigarettes to a friend, when she was shot in her right side, with a shotgun. The friend then drove the victim to hospital where she underwent surgery to remove at least 10 shotgun pellets. The shooting follows a series of incidents on the eastern side of Masterton during the weekend with a house near the scene of the shooting having its doors kicked in and windows broken at around 5.30pm on Saturday. Detective Sergeant Bill Van Woerkom said police had spoken with the victim and to a number of residents in the area. “We believe this was an isolated incident and wish to reassure the community they are not in danger.” Police are still appealing for witnesses to Sunday’s shooting and an investigation is underway. “Someone in our community will know who is responsible,” Van Woerkom said. Sunday’s incident comes after a shooting in Kuripuni in December which resulted in a Masterton woman’s leg being amputated, and another shooting at Ngawi later that month. • Anyone with information should contact Masterton Police on 06 370 0300 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Community hub proposed Gianina Schwanecke It was a rugby ball coming through the window of a meeting room five years ago which prompted the committee of Te Awhina Cameron Community House to first think about finding a new location. Last week, the community group released a concept drawing of a new proposed community hub in Masterton’s Mcjorrow Park to replace their current building on the corner of Church St and Stuart Cr. Established in 1982, Awhina Cameron Community House is a community space offering a range of programmes and services. It is currently based in a four-bedroom property leased from Housing New Zealand. Coordinator Donna Gray said the group had reached a point where the old building had “served its purpose”. “[The new building] will mean more people and more activities.” The proposed new building would include five meeting rooms, two community washing machines, a kitchen, computer space, playground for children under five, medical clinic room and community hall — all under one roof.

Plans for the proposed build at McJorrow Park. PHOTO/SUPPLIED

Costings have yet to be finalised. Gray said it was about taking pride in the east side and hoped the consultation process would ensure residents felt they had ownership of the new purpose-built space. She said the current community centre was well used, with about 30 people visiting each day.

The new space would also be available to other organisations for community outreach programmes including, Whaiora, police, Wairarapa REAP, and Connecting Communities Wairarapa. Gray hoped the separate meeting rooms would provide more privacy for many. Te Awhina chairperson Craig Thomson said

feedback on the proposed hub had been positive. Some had raised questions about moving further down the road to McJorrow Park, but he said basing the new hub next to Masterton District Council’s children’s play area made sense. Thomson said the trust was excited to see what feedback was offered by the community.

• Te Awhina was appealing to those in the wider Masterton area to come forward with suggestions and feedback too, not just those living on the east side. • Feedback can be given to Donna directly at the current community space or by emailing teawhinacommunity@ gmail.com.

Stepping down from the Citizen’s Advice Bureau Emily Ireland There isn’t an official uniform at Masterton’s Citizen’s Advice Bureau, but that hasn’t stopped Jan Burns from wearing one during her time as its administration officer. Jan, who has worked for CAB Masterton since early 2003, will be stepping down from her role to concentrate on other interests, like the Riversdale Beach Ratepayers’ Association, and making jams, pickles, and sauces. At a CAB meeting last

week, Jan’s contribution to the service was celebrated. Jan, who dons a black shirt with bright yellow trimming and a CAB logo, had this uniform made for her by her sister. She started out with the organisation as an “ordinary volunteer”, then moved to the committee and to the position of secretary. “Then I got tired of being secretary because I hate doing minutes. That’s when we created the admin officer job.” CAB is a free

service that empowers people by helping them know and understand their rights and obligations and how to use this information to get the best

outcomes in whatever issue they are trying to overcome. Each fortnight, CAB has a column in the Midweek to share useful information with readers (P21 this week). Though Jan hasn’t worked on individual cases for a couple of years now, she said she’s pretty much seen them all – everything from complicated legal matters to the baking of scones. “Sometimes, people just don’t know where to start.

“More often than not, CAB just steers them in the right direction.” Jan was prompted to step down from her role with CAB after undergoing major heart surgery. “It really knocked me. “I’ve taken it as a bit of a wake-up call and I’ve thought to myself, it’s time for me to slow down.” She said her garage was full of jars she is yet to soak the labels off for jams, pickles, and sauces, and she is looking forward to getting stuck into it.

Rotary club to turn 50

The Rotary Club of Masterton South will be celebrating its 50th birthday in April, and the organisation is calling for expressions of interest in attending the celebration. The event is set to be held at Copthorne on April 30, where entertainment will be provided by the Rotary Singers. The Rotary Club of Masterton South has its origins in 1968, where the task of “moulding” 30 new people together, many of whom had no previous Rotary experience, was a challenge, according to a publication from the club, Our History from Charter to 2005. “In the hype and excitement felt during the months leading up to that first formative meeting, the enormity of the job ahead was underestimated,” the publication states. In addition to Ray Slemint, who was the club’s first president, the only other Rotarian was Noel Scott, both of whom had come over from host club Masterton. Noel Scott, who was the founding principal of Makoura College, served as the club’s first vice president. It was to these Charter members that the raw recruits looked to for leadership and guidance. The club’s inaugural meeting was held in February, 1969, and the Charter night was May 31, 1969. Those who served as officers during the club’s formative years were: Rya Slemint, Noel Scott, Rya Mackmurdie, Len Frances, Guy Wagg, Don Searancke, Doug Leigh, and Bill Brettell. • To register your interest in attending the 50th anniversary celebrations, email Christine Brewster on magiebs@xtra.co.nz.

Science camp fuels ambitions Erin Kavanagh-Hall

After a summer holiday working with liquid metal, water-resistant materials, and microscopic crystal particles, Aislin Maugatai is more determined than ever to pursue a career in science. The Masterton 17-year-old was one of a select group of young people attending DiscoveryCamp – Te Hohu Huraina, a weeklong interactive science programme targeted at senior secondary students of Maori and Pasifika heritage. Aislin, in her final year at Makoura College, travelled last month to Dunedin for the camp, hosted by the University of Otago and fullyfunded by the McDiarmid Institute: a national network of scientists dedicated to exploring innovation in chemistry and physics. At DiscoveryCamp, Aislin and her fellow young scientists got to participate in complex experiments at the university’s high-tech laboratories, creating everything from reactive catalysts to magnetic liquid compounds from scratch, and received guidance and mentorship

Makoura College student Aislin Maugatai, 17. PHOTO/ERIN KAVANAGH-HALL

from some of the McDiarmid Institute’s leading researchers. Historically, on account of social and academic prejudices in school environments, Maori and Pasifika have long been

underrepresented in the STEMM careers (science, technology, engineering, mathematics and manufacturing). DiscoveryCamp is one of many initiatives to fuel a passion for the sciences in

young Maori and Pasifika, and introduce them to various opportunities in the STEMM sector. Aislin, of Ngati Porou and Samoan descent, said she was keen to expand her science skills beyond her college classroom and left DiscoveryCamp feeling excited about the possibilities open to her once she leaves school. “DiscoveryCamp opened my eyes to what studying at a place like Otago and working in science and research fields would be like,” Aislin said. According to Mum Joanne Waitoa, Aislin has had an interest in “how the world works” from a young age, and was “particularly fascinated by bugs” as a child. After starting at Makoura, Joanne said Aislin’s confidence and abilities flourished – her interests expanding beyond insects to include zoology, chemistry and marine biology. “Science is pretty much my best subject,” Aislin said. “I really enjoy doing experiments and studying animals – and watching David Attenborough films in class.” Encouraged by her teachers, she applied for DiscoveryCamp, and

her enthusiasm for her favourite subject made her a clear contender. In the end, Aislin chose to attend the camp based at the Otago campus (a second programme ran at Massey University in Palmerston North), which had a focus on nanochemistry: the study of the microscopic particles (“nano” representing “one billionth” in the metric system) present in chemical reactions. The students were able to witness this phenomenon up close, taking part in a variety of experiments. These ranged from working with observing the role of nanoparticles in chemicals changing colour and in light reflection, to creating hydrophobic sprays to prevent water absorption, and working with fluid metals with magnetic properties. “Nanochemistry is interesting as, to the normal human eye, it just looks like we’re doing regular chemistry – but everything’s working on a very small scale,” Aislin said. Mum Joanne, who is on the Board of Trustees at Makoura, said allexpenses-paid experiences

like DiscoveryCamp were particularly valuable for students from lower decile colleges, “since they don’t often get the same opportunities as better resourced schools”. She was also thankful for DiscoveryCamp for making Maori and Pasifika students, like Aislin, feel accepted and welcome in university environments – which can be predominantly Eurocentric. “I know personally how isolating university can be without support. I love the idea that Aislin already has a network of people she can reach out to.” Aislin says she isn’t yet sure what to study at university – but is interested in a career in environmental science. And she’s off to a good start: she is one of Makoura’s environmental leaders and was a member of the winning team for the school’s Make A Difference Day, where students worked on a range of sustainable and environmentally-friendly projects. “It would be fantastic if she put her passion for science into a career in kaitiakitanga,” Joanne said.

Calvin doesn’t let epilepsy control his life Continued from page 1 When Calvin was 18, he went on holiday with his parents and sister. “We went to the beach and we tried our hand at surfing. “A big wave wiped me out and as I went down, I had an epileptic seizure. “I had no idea what was going on, next thing I knew I was being given the kiss of life by a lifeguard.

“Luckily someone had noticed me go down.” This epileptic episode was what Calvin categorised as “grand mal” – loss of consciousness, followed by muscle convulsions that usually last for less than two minutes. Another type, which has caused Calvin ongoing issues is what Calvin categorises as an “epileptic drop attack”. “You stay conscious,

but you just drop straight down on top of yourself. “In 1996 and 1998, I suddenly dropped straight down … breaking my left ankle in 1996, and then my left leg in 1998. “Both times I was taken to hospital but was given no help to walk again – actually due to medical negligence, I nearly got gangrene. “The negligence eventually gave me arthritis, so now I use a

walking trolley, despite only being 48.” Because people with epilepsy generally were not permitted to drive, living with the medical condition can be isolating. But Calvin said his involvement with Toastmasters helps with this. Calvin’s last seizure was in April, 2017 and with the episodes occurring every two years, Calvin said now more than ever it was

vital that he did not let his condition control his life. “It’s hard work, but it’s better to actually keep on fighting against it, rather than letting it control you.”

Seizure first aid

If you come across someone experiencing a seizure: • Call 111 • Keep other people out of the way • Clear hard or sharp

objects away from the person • Don’t try to hold them down or stop the movements • Place them on their side, to help keep their airway clear • Try to time the length of the seizure • Don’t put anything in their mouth • For more information on epilepsy, visit epilepsy.org.nz.

Firefighters battling the blaze in Opaki last week.

The helicopter made about 10 trips with a monsoon bucket to extinguish it – “I think we could have handled it with the engine,” Mitchell said. A lawnmower spark and “tinder-dry conditions” were all it took to start a grass fire which covered an area 100m by 20m on Manaia Rd. A contractor mowing long grass hit a rock in what was the second hottest day of the year – 33C – and after no serious rain for weeks, the resulting spark was enough to start the blaze. But principal rural fire officer Nick Pyatt said it could have been a lot worse, with a number of trees in the area. “With these tinderdry conditions, even the most innocent task – like mowing your lawns – can spark a fire, and it’s believed that is the cause of the Nelson fire at this stage.” A helicopter with a monsoon bucket was called in to help fight the grass fire at Opaki, filling the bucket from a

swimming pool on the property. But fire appliances were also able to access water from the Opaki water race, a resource which may not be available for much longer. Masterton District Council’s consent to take water for the race is due to expire and Fish & Game is opposing use of the race unless plans are made to phase it out in five years. David Woodhouse farms on the neighbouring property to where the Opaki fire started and said the race played a key role in fighting the blaze. Woodhouse and his wife Deb, along with others, helped extinguish part of the fire in a paddock before the arrival of the helicopter. The prohibited fire season includes all urban, rural and coastal areas of the Wairarapa region including DoC land until revoked or amended by Fire and Emergency New Zealand. All fire permits previously issued were also suspended last week.

Fire season hits region Three fires broke out in the Masterton within two hours last Thursday afternoon ahead of the region’s total fire ban, that kicked in at 8am last Friday. A lawnmower hitting a rock created a spark that started a fire in Manaia Rd, south of Masterton, at 1.20pm, with a helicopter with a monsoon bucket called in to help extinguish a grass fire starting in Opaki an hour later. Shortly before 3pm, a minor fire near Ngaumu, east of Wainuioru, also required a helicopter because the Wainuioru Rural Fire Brigade’s fire engine had been sent to Nelson. “It’s Sod’s Law,” Wainuioru controller Dave Mitchell said. “They only took it last night [Wednesday]. “I suppose they thought, ‘I wonder who can spare one’. “That’s why the helicopter was brought in.” The fire, on the corner of Te Maipi and Motukai roads, was caused by sparks from power lines.

B-52 giant to open Wings event Sam Tattersfield A rumble like no other is coming to Wings over Wairarapa. A huge United States Air Force Boeing B-52 Stratofortress bomber will fly in New Zealand airspace for the first time to officially open the event, at 2pm this Saturday. The plane will not touch down on New Zealand soil – it is too heavy to land at Masterton’s Hood Aerodrome – but will be as low as 1000 feet [305m] for its flyover, after travelling from its base in Guam. Because it is capable of carrying nuclear weapons, New Zealand’s nuclear-free policy means diplomatic clearance for the visit is required from Minister of Foreign Affairs Winston Peters’ office. After wowing the crowds at Wings, the aircraft will fly to Victoria, Australia, for the Avalon Air Show. Wings chair Bob Francis is thrilled the iconic bomber is going to be part of the show, a deal only finalised last Monday to mark the 20th anniversary of Wings Over Wairarapa. “If you want power, noise, the ground-shaking type of experience, then

A Boeing B-52 Stratofortress will be making its New Zealand debut at Wings Over Wairarapa.

the B-52 will give that to you in spades,” he said. The B-52 visit was the result of a “beautiful” coincidence, he said. Francis said new Wings board member, retired RNZAF chief Air Vice Marshal Graham Lintott had a relationship with the US embassy and was able

to “provide confidence that this was a credible show and that their presence would greatly enhance our show, but would also be a good way to take the relationship between the USA and us to another level”. He said the US support was “amazing”.

Having the plane, which played a huge role in the Vietnam war, at Wings would be “huge” for aviation enthusiasts. “There’s no question, this is big for them,” he said. “They’ll see this as so significant, and so special.” Francis said it was a

PHOTO/SUPPLIED

very rare chance to see a military aircraft of this size and significance in New Zealand. The B-52 is 49m long but has a wingspan of 56m – Wings team member Tom Williams said it would be very hard to miss, though not tremendously

environmentally friendly. The engines of “the ultimate strategic bomber” would produce smoke “for miles”. “They trail a heap of smoke,” he said. “Put it this way – it’s got eight engines and it’s a hell of a big aeroplane so it will be very visible to everybody.” They B-52 has a top speed of more than 1000 kilometres an hour. It is not the first time a nuclear-capable aircraft has been in New Zealand, Warbirds Over Wanaka in hosting a nuclear capable F-16 fighter in 2018. The B-52 will do its flyover alone, as aviation rules mean civilian aircraft are not allowed to fly alongside military aircraft. Wings over Wairarapa runs from February 22-24. Friday, February 22, is a practice day, with gates open from 12 noon until 5pm. Gates open at 8am on Saturday and Sunday, with flying from 2pm-9.30pm on Saturday, with the event’s first ever night show. Flying on Sunday is from 10am-4.30pm. • Tickets are available at: ticketdirect.co.nz.

Amateur theatre a ‘mixed bag’ Comment

Graeme Burnard Continuing my recollections of my time on the Amateur stage, today I would like to talk about two wonderful productions I was in. Front Page Theatre Company was run by an Australian woman called Melinda Francis. The first play was Twelve Angry Men which we performed in the hall at St Luke’s Church, Greytown in 1995. The auditions were a production in themselves. One man who turned up had recently come out of jail, had never been on stage or read a script but thought this might be a good way to meet people. He was a nice chap, but his quick temper could be quite intimidating. He played the part of an angry juror. Right up his street! The hall we performed in is not big. The jury table was in the middle of the room and the audience sat around it. In fact, the audience were so close the people sitting directly behind us had their legs under

our chairs. As juror number 3, I was jumping up and down all the time and must have caused lots of damage to numerous sets of knees. I loved the play so much I directed it at Harlequin Theatre some years later. The next production with Front Page was One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest which we performed in the big old hall (now long gone) in Holloway St, Carterton, in 1996. This was as good as amateur theatre gets. The director’s eye for detail showed in her extraordinary set design. I must have impressed her enough in Twelve Angry Men as she invited me to play the lead role of McMurphy. Again, we had a real mixture of cast. Some old hands and some on stage for the first time. The play was so good, it was entered into the Wellington Theatre Federation annual awards. We were even invited to present an excerpt from the play which was a sign

that the organisers thought it was pretty good too. And it came to pass. I was thrilled to bits (and still am, 23 years later) to be awarded ‘outstanding performance by a male in a leading role’. Well known Masterton actor Barbara Barr was awarded ‘outstanding performance by a female

in a leading role’ for her portrayal of Nurse Ratchit. The play also won best set design, best director and best overall production. The scene when McMurphy (me) was given electric shock treatment was scary to do and I understand quite harrowing to watch.

I will never forget it. Another wonderful occasion was when Harlequin Theatre produced Roger Hall’s Spreading Out. Roger came to our opening night and spoke to us all afterwards. He was very impressed with our production, directed by Maria Hinton.

When he told me that I had played Reg exactly as he had written him, I nearly popped with pride. Anyway, enough bragging! Next time, in my final recollection of my time in theatre, I will talk about the highs and lows of being resident of an amateur theatre.

GARDEN

YARN Dry The deadly

WITH

Do your homework before buying plants for a hot, dry garden and get it right first time. Here’s a few ideas of heat tolerant plants to get you started but there’s much more instore. And always remember, although they may be labelled ‘drought tolerant’ or ‘heat hardy’ they still need water, especially while establishing.

Feb 20 – 22 Take a break! These days are not suitable for sowing or planting.

Feb 22 – 24 Sow turnips and other root crops.

Feb 25 – 28 Growth is slow and vitality low, so just weed and water.

There are many options to choose from to create a beautiful heat tolerant garden. Lavenders, grasses & flaxes, rosemary + much more.

TIP 2: WATER THE ROOTS – NOT THE FOLIAGE. We have a sprinkler ban in place in Masterton, which is a great thing for your plants. Water sitting on foliage can cause fungus and they can develop sun burn marks. Gardena hoses have kink resistant technology, or set up a soaker/weeper hose on a water timer! Save the frustration of ill fitting parts and kinking hoses by using quality Gardena products. Gardena hoses are pressure resistant and always keep their shape and the Power Grip Profile makes sure there’s a secure fit between the hose and Gardena parts.

TIP 3: TIME YOUR WATERING WELL. Watering in the early evening means that the plants can supply themselves with water overnight to cope with the next day’s heat better. Spraying your plants with Wally’s Vaporgard also helps minimise evaporation – it’s like a liquid sunscreen in the summer; a liquid frost cloth in the winter! TIP 4: WATER MORE EFFICIENTLY. Don’t be fooled by the top layer of soil feeling moist – dig down a bit and you’ll realise how dry things are. Watering in sections will allow the water to soak into the soil rather than run away – then come back over and water again. Digging in some Gypsum ClayBreaker will help improve soil drainage, increase moisture absorption & retention (check out https://www.gib.co.nz/products/gypsum/ claybreaker for many more benefits).

NEW MOON - February 5TH FULL MOON - February 20TH

MOON PLANTING TIPS THIS WEEK

Summer comes around every year – and obviously this can cause dry weather, or even drought but sadly many home gardeners don’t prepare their trees & shrubs well enough to survive the elements. We often have people coming in months down the track with stories of their dead or dying plants, often this is caused purely by lack of water. We’ve written about irrigation in the past – but for the health and well-being of your plants thought a friendly reminder wouldn’t go astray so here’s a few pointers:

TIP 1: WATER THOROUGHLY ALL ROUND THE ROOT ZONE. It’s important to water the whole way around the plants root zone, not just the front. Uneven watering can cause lopsided root growth and poor nutrient absorption.

MOON CALENDAR

Agapanthus are no longer “invasive” like they used to be, there are dwarf forms such as Agapetite & Lapis

EVERY VOUCHE5R0 DAY A VIP CUSTOMER WHO HAS SHOPPED WITH US WINS A $50 GARDENBARN VOUCHER. COULD IT BE YOU?

Just as the name suggests – Lime Tuff Lomandra will survive the elements

Sallyfun Salvias are simply stunning flowers that appear for months on end.

TIP 5: QUALITY OVER QUANTITY. It’s better to give a thorough deep watering a couple of times a week than a quick sprinkle every day. TIP 6: PROVIDE THEM NUTRIENTS. Healthy well fed plants fight pests & disease and absorb nutrients better. Dig in some ican Real Blood & Bone and feed them with ican Fast Food & ican 24-Plus Slow Food. Top this off with a layer of mulch and your plants will love you for it!

Carterton Rotary Club is putting on another talent show, with $1750 total prizemoney. The cash is split between winners and runners-up of the over-14, and 14-and-under categories. The biggest prize up for grabs is $1000 for the over-14 winner. Entrants must live in Wairarapa, but it doesn’t matter what your talent is – they’re looking for dancers, singers, musicians, comedians, and “anything in between”. Heats will be held during April, with semi-ﬁnals at Kuranui and Makoura Colleges on either May 25 or June 1, and a grand ﬁnale at the Carterton Events Centre on Saturday, June 8. • The closing date for entries is March 31 and there is a $5 entry fee. • Enter www.talentwairarapa. co.nz/enter-talent-wairarapa/ or using forms in the Wairarapa Times-Age and Wairarapa libraries.

Music tribute a Parkinson’s fundraiser Linda Ronstadt is a name familiar with many and one that spans many genres. In April, acclaimed singer/ songwriter, Bloom, will bring the music of Linda Ronstadt to life at the Carterton Events Centre. Audiences can expect to hear tracks that made up the 1979 tour set list including timeless hits as Blue Bayou, When Will I Be Loved, It’s So Easy, When Something Is Wrong With My Baby, That’ll Be The Day, Just One Look, Back In The U.S.A, and Poor Poor Pitiful Me. Bloom has a feverish connection with the decades of the 60’s and 70’s and had a strong urge to bring Linda Ronstadt and the music that is her legacy to the future generations, embracing and reinvigorating Linda’s rich musical history and the architecture she has left on the music industry. Linda was forced to retire from singing in 2009 as a result of Parkinson’s disease. Subsequently, Bloom is lending her voice with this tour to help raise awareness of Parkinson’s disease supporting the Shake It Up Australia Foundation’s quest to ﬁnd a cure – a foundation that is partnered with The Michael J. Fox Foundation. • General admission is $43.50 and tickets for the April 7 event can be purchased through Eventﬁnda.

MIDWEEK PHOTOS

Opinion

Stand up and say no As I write this, a Gold Coast mother is waiting for justice to be served to a man accused of murdering her daughter. In 2013, 21-year-old Gold Coast cheerleader Breeana Robinson, fell to her death from the 11th floor of a building after her boyfriend Dan Shearin sent her 1500 abusive texts. Shearin was 20 years older than Bree and he maintained Bree’s death was a suicide for several years. But last month, Shearin was arrested and charged with her murder. He had his name legally changed to Jayden Moorea and has also been charged with stalking nine women over the course of 16 years. You’re probably wondering why I’m telling you about this. Afterall, the Gold Coast, Australia is a long way from Wairarapa, New Zealand. The truth is I could have easily been one of his victims and I want to use the platform I have today to protect our young

Piece of mind

Emily Ireland people and empower them. In 2014, a year after Bree’s death, Dan Shearin added me on Facebook while I was living on the Gold Coast and immediately he struck up a conversation. I was 19 and naïve and entertained the conversation to an extent. He told me his girlfriend was a victim of suicide, and on his social media were many suicide prevention posts. He seemed “nice enough”, and he was always showering me with compliments. I had told him many times I had a boyfriend – I didn’t really – but at that stage being hit on by someone 20 years older than me was pretty creepy regardless of how “nice” they seemed. I should have told him to get lost – but I was too polite.

CUTIE OF THE WEEK

I had a problem saying no to people. I didn’t want to be rude. He seemed “nice enough”. Many young people find themselves in similar situations and I believe that we need to empower them to say no before they get too far out of their depth. We need to teach young people to say no to uncomfortable situations, no to abuse, and no to unhealthy relationships. We need to teach our young people to recognise red flags before it’s too late, but most importantly we need to teach our young people what a healthy relationship looks like. I was lucky. Many aren’t. You can follow Bree’s story on the Facebook page Bree’s Army. Rest in peace Bree. #Breesarmy

STREET TALK

Wairarapa’s train service needs... Mike Osborne Weekend service that goes to Wellington, leaving Masterton 0930 and returning 1630. That would mean Wellingtonians can come over and stay the night and catch the train back at reasonable hour. Also, Wairarapa people can go to Wellington and not have to leave at 8am and not get back till 8.30pm. Christina Archer Better timetables and more trains to carry the

gap in the afternoons and weekends. Anna Patete Late trains, and no not as in running late … we already have that … as in late night.

People want more frequent trains to and from Wairarapa on weekends. PHOTO/JADE CVETKOV

Gemma Seddon To run on time and be reliable. minutes, etc.

Robert Mackenzie For what is being asked, it would require two lines running simultaneously. Think about it! Commuter train leaves Wellington – takes 90 minutes. Freight train leaves Masterton – 90

Anna Rootbeer Faster service to Wellington; intercity trains with far fewer stops, on time and in between those services to offer ‘stop trains’ that do as now, stop at every station.

Penelope Sullivan More frequent trains. Elaine Leggott WC Good train lines, and a good train. Glenda Ratter Better weekend service, better times, to get visitors out on weekends…

Gary Cooper A first-class communications team for now. Casey Viles To be reliable! Jean Cretney Upgrading. Better service for everyone.

LETTERS

Economic development plan dubbed ‘shallow’ Mike Osborne’s column in the Midweek on February 13 told the story of his close reading of the Wairarapa Economic Development Strategy and Action Plan (WEDSAP) for an eﬀective response to what Mike considers the burning issues of the day. Mike tells us that he came up empty. There is a reason for that. The WEDSAP has no underlying substance

and it is what it looks like, a collection of safe and predictable post-it notes from a workshop. Yes, it’s been surrounded by some shallow analysis (particularly on water) but is without any underlying model to tie it together. No mention of a wellbeing framework even though world-leading work is being done this at Lincoln University. And no real mention of

the transition to the next Industrial Revolution including the rise of the knowledge-intensive economy. Mike provides several references to possible models that could be used. Any one of Mike’s suggestions would probably be better than the WEDSAP. Of the 41 ‘Action Points’ in the WEDSAP, only seven can be acted

on right now. At least two thirds of the Action Points are the writing of plans and strategies, and working group set-up. How long will that take? I don’t share Mike’s alarm about climate change and water but I’m in lockstep with him on the need for a much better WEDSAP. Ron Shaw Carterton

Can I put milk bottle tops into the recycling bin? How come my biodegradable coffee cup goes straight to landfill? And how can we cut down on the amount of waste we create when we hold our next fair or other event? One person who can help you out with curly questions about waste and recycling, is Jo Dean, the Zero Waste coordinator who works across all three district councils in the Wairarapa. Jo also works with some of the schools in our area, and is available to the others. So, while our schools are getting underway with all sorts of cool enviro-projects, we thought we might shine a torch on Jo’s role and ask this question for the year ahead: what are some of the ways you can reduce waste in your school or workplace this year? Jo can help your school, business, or community group to minimise waste, whether you’re looking at taking one tiny step at a time or are ready to jump in boots and all. She assists with workshops, hosts the Zero Waste Wairarapa Facebook page, leads site tours around the Masterton transfer station, and delivers an in-school Zero Waste Education Programme for years 1 – 8.

Greytown School students check out the recycling process at the Masterton site. PHOTO/SUPPLIED

Contact Jo or your Enviroschools facilitator to find out more about this. She can also provide you with a bunch of recycling bins to use at your next event. All you need to do is pick them up, empty them at the recycling centre afterwards, and return them clean. And it’s free! “My role is about supporting, encouraging, educating, and engaging with people to minimise the waste they create in their everyday lives,” Jo said. “It doesn’t have to be hard, and it doesn’t have to be huge. There are lots of little things that people can do each day, that makes a huge difference over time – especially if others start doing that too! Filling a reusable drink bottle instead of buying water in a plastic bottle is a

good example of this. Jo tells the story of a student from Greytown School who had gone through the Zero Waste Education programme, being noticed by Prince Harry in a Wellington crowd when he visited last year. He chatted with her about the reusable drink bottle she was carrying, and she mentioned the programme to him. Hey, you’re not always going to get the royal nod of approval for your efforts to minimise waste, but there are many more compelling reasons to make an effort. And Jo is a great resource when it comes to these reasons and the ideas and opportunities to make a positive difference. • You can contact Jo Dean on 027 5836504 or jo@cdc.govt.nz.

Scraps had it rough. He came emaciated, with scars from a collar, and severe cat lice. He had injuries from all the fights he’d endured even though his paws are still being grown into. Scraps features amazing white shocks of hair in his underarms and on his manly chest. He doesn’t lie in his hammock, he sprawls. His long canines give him an overbite, Dracula style. But the best thing about Scraps isn’t his looks. It’s his strong desire to love someone and be loved in return. Send us your email address if you’re keen to take him home. His adoption fee is $80 only because he may still need some crate time. He is ready for adoption now! • Dump Cats take cats from the Masterton Rubbish Dump, rehabilitates them, and helps them into loving homes. They are vaccinated, de-sexed, and treated for worms and fleas. Their injuries are cared for and they are taught to believe in people again.

Tim Nelson Do the opposite

January 31 was World Opposite Day. This was a time in which we could look at things from a new perspective or do things in the opposite way. An example of the is from an episode of the brilliant TV series Seinfeld in which the character George decides that every decision he has ever made has been wrong, leading him to the point in life he was at which was one that was

very unsatisfactory. From this point he decides to do the opposite to his natural instincts, leading to extraordinarily positive results. We might not be in the position that George was in, but there may be one area in your life that isn’t quite right; it could be around work, health and fitness, money. For whatever it is, try doing something quite different to see if it leads to a more positive outcome.

Who becomes great?

Mark Manson, author of ‘The Subtle Art of not Giving a F**k’ believes that people who go on to be great are those who don’t think they’re great to start with. Because these people don’t think they’re at the top level, they attempt to rectify the situation by putting in the effort to be the very best that they can be. A great example of this is three times World CrossFit Champion

As a means of addressing this he puts in a huge eﬀort into his training and preparation before events so he knows that he has done all that he can do to give him the best opportunity of coming out on top – he has become great due to

his hard work!

Make the most of the cards that you are dealt This analogy is a great one that is shared by Mark Manson, author of ‘The Subtle Art of not Giving a F**k’. The idea is that we are all dealt ‘cards’ in life; our families, height, eye colour, the country we’re born in, the town we’re raised in all being some examples. Just like in poker, where a player can win a game despite not having the

In a recent Casey Neistat YouTube video, the focus was on three creative people who were given the task of producing a video for Adobe Creative to promote Casey’s creative hub 368. One of the three shared her process, this being to just start and something will come – trust the process. This links to the idea that we shouldn’t wait for motivation to take action, instead take the view that taking action will start the momentum that will lead to the inspiration and motivation to keep going. Essentially the message is that to get anything done we simply need to start, regardless of how you might be feeling.

Hydra the water snake Sky Watch

Nick Sault The longest and largest constellation in the sky is Hydra the water snake. Despite its size, it is not a very conspicuous constellation. But we have a good chance to identify it, as it dominates the eastern sky after sunset. It will be best at weekend, as the moon is a bit of a threat for the next couple of nights. So, about Saturday, pop out after 9pm and in a dark place, face east. The snake covers 100 degrees of sky, which is a lot when you consider the whole sky is 180 degrees across. Here’s how to start. On the north-east horizon, Leo the Lion has just risen. Its brightest star, Regulus, should easily be visible. High in the northern sky, the highly visible Orion stands with his triple star belt most noticeable. Roughly halfway between Orion and Regulus is the bright star Procyon in the

constellation of Canis Minoris, the little dog. Then halfway between Regulus and Procyon, there are two dimmer stars that represent the head of the snake. Hydra then winds from there towards the southeast, all the way across the eastern sky about the same height above the horizon. About a quarter of the way down, the snake is its brightest star, Alphard, about as bright as the Southern Cross stars. The rest of the stars in the constellation, as you run your eyes across the eastern sky towards the south-east, are quite unassuming. You pass by the tiny constellations of Sextans, Crater and Corvus. The snake’s tail is just touching the south-east horizon. If you identify Hydra this way, well done. It took me a while last year. However, if you want to see something highly visible, get out Thursday night, just before 9pm. The International

The Pinwheel Galaxy (M83) in the constellation of Hydra.

Space Station (ISS) rises a minute before 9pm in the WNW. Just look where that dang NW wind comes from, you won’t miss it. Mars should be low over the hills. The ISS will outshine that, and in the next few minutes it will rise high

in the southern half of the sky and disappear into the south-east, nearly seven minutes after its first appearance. That is one of the longest and brightest sightings that I can recall. When the ISS seems to snuff out in the SE, it’s because it has suddenly

Passport renewal WAIRARAPA

If you are travelling overseas, many countries require your passport to be valid for at least six months after you return to New Zealand. So, check your passport expiry date early when making your booking. If you are a New Zealand citizen and you need to renew your passport, the process has recently been made a lot easier with a website www. passports.govt.nz. This website sets out five easy steps to getting your new passport. There is a video which very clearly explains to you all the requirements for passport photos. When you have taken your photo, you can check that it is suitable with the online photo checker, they will check your photo and offer you technical help

should you need it. The other alternative of course is to get your new passport photo taken at the chemist, NZ Post shop or by a professional photographer. Get them to send the photo to your computer in digital format. You will need a REALME logon to apply for your new passport online. If you don’t already have a REALME identity you can set one up as you make the application. This will save your incomplete application for seven days and keep your identity safe. Next you will need to get a referee to verify your identity. This must be someone who is not a member of your family, is over 16 years of age, who has known you for at least one year, and has a valid New Zealand passport. Now, answer a few simple questions on the website, and if you need assistance, you can phone 0800 22

50 50. The next step is to upload your photo and attach it to the application form. The fees for a new passport have just changed, so check the amount. The cost varies according to where you are applying from. If you apply within New Zealand the new

cost for an adult is $191, and for a child, $111. This fee includes delivery in New Zealand by courier. You will have to pay a courier fee as well if you are applying from overseas. You can pay online with your bankcard. So, the process of passport renewal has become a lot simpler. Try the website www. passports.govt.nz More information is available on www.cab. org.nz If you require an application form but no computer access, please ask us at CAB to print a form off for you – we shall be happy to do so. You can either collect it or we can post it out to you.

Helping hands for Nelson fires Masterton residents have donated much needed personal items to firefighters and emergency response teams who have been battling to control the fires in Nelson. The Nelson branch of Fastway Couriers sent out an SOS to its regional branch network last week suggesting if any of their customers wanted to donate items such as toothpaste, sun block, lip balms and rehydration drinks and food, they would ensure it got to the front line. Masterton Fastway business owners Toby and Hannah Blundell not only put the call out to their customers but took it a step further by putting the call out to the community and the result has been “overwhelming”. “We can’t believe how generous the people of Masterton have been,” Toby said. “They have rallied together to donate all sorts of daily items like

tooth brushes and sun screen.” At the other end of the line, Fastway Nelson business owners Brett and Karly Jameson have turned up each morning to their depot to a sea of donated goods, which firstly went to firefighters but is now also being handed out to forestry workers that are unable to work due to the fires. Goods have arrived from Masterton, Auckland, Whanganui, Invercargill, Dunedin, Hamilton, and Wellington. “I couldn’t get into my office on the first day, and each day since more and more items have arrived. “We started by putting together some relief packs on Sunday at our own expense but when other Fastway branches heard what we were doing, they asked to jump on board. “At the end of the day, we’re part of the wider Nelson community and all we want to do is help

out in some small way to those trying to control the fires and those that are impacted by the fires, whether that be residents who are only just able to return to their homes or the forestry workers that are unable to work,” Karly said. The response by those that have received donated goods has been overwhelming. “We arrive with a van load every day and they get a big lift in spirits from receiving items that make their day a little bit easier, whether that’s blister packs for burns, insect repellent or energy sweets.” If you would like to donate goods for emergency workers or those suffering some form of hardship due to the fires, please drop any items to the Masterton Fastway depot and they will ensure they get delivered to Nelson.

PHOTO/SUPPLIED

Masterton’s Tranzit Group will transport almost 5000 Wairarapa school children to and from Wings Over Wairarapa’s special education day on Friday. Jenna Snelgrove, Tranzit’s director of sales and marketing, said her team had been busy preparing for the day which will see about 60 buses and 60 drivers ferry around 5000 primary and secondary school children, teachers and parents to Masterton’s Hood Aerodrome. It will mirror one of the largest events the company was involved with in 2016, when Tranzit provided free transport for around 7000 Wairarapa school kids looking to break the Guinness world record for the biggest haka.

“Now, we look forward to transporting school children of all ages from across the region so they can attend the special science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) part of the three-day Wings Over Wairarapa air festival.” Tranzit will heavily subsidise most of the cost with students only having to pay a minimal ﬂat rate to get to and from their respective school and location. Major sponsor Earthcare Environmental is also helping cover costs so students can attend the STEM Day for free. Snelgrove said the schools’ day was a great initiative from Wings and Tranzit was thrilled to be a partner. She said there was

also a great synergy happening with STEM, with Tranzit being involved in researching and developing electric bus technology since 2014. “We believe this sustainable technology is the future of public transport in New Zealand and as the leaders in the industry, we’re committed to continuing to lead the way for more 100 per cent electric buses on NZ roads,” she said. Tranzit will also provide transport for visitors to Wings Over Wairarapa coming from Palmerston North and Wellington. • For more information, visit tranzittours. co.nz/wings-overwairarapa-2019.

Kandahar the perfect home for Kate

Resident Kate Apanui says she knew Kandahar Home was the right place for her the moment she set eyes on the home’s beautiful grounds. Kate Apanui had never pictured herself moving to a rest home. But the moment she laid eyes on Masterton’s Kandahar Home, she knew it was the right place for her. “When my daughter first suggested I consider moving to a rest home, I was pretty against it to be honest, but I agreed to take a look around a few of them. It turned out to be the best thing that could have happened to me. “When I first came to visit Kandahar, I instantly fell in love with the grounds, they’re so beautiful. Then I met the people, who were all so nice and considerate, and the staff were very supportive. It felt like home.” Since moving to the Enliven home late last year, Kate has found many ways to embrace life at Kandahar Home. “I love it here! There’s always something to do and people to speak to, you’re never lonely. I take part in the home’s recreation programme every day, and I also go to the church service offered on Sundays.

independence purpose trusted

“The staff have also got me into sharing some of the things I’m involved with outside of the home, like what I’ve learnt at [M ori health provider] Hauora. I’ve taught some of that here – just a bit of poi work and a few action songs, it’s been fun,” she says. Kandahar Home Manager Peter Newman says creating an environment in which residents feel comfortable and able to be themselves is a vital part of Enliven’s elder-centred philosophy. “We recognise that just because a resident has changed address, it doesn’t mean his or her personality has changed,” says Peter. “All of us want to live somewhere we feel loved, supported and able to be ourselves, and we love being able to help residents like Kate live life with such energy and enthusiasm.” Kandahar Home offers rest home and hospital care, short-term respite and health recovery care and a day activity programme.

Plundering in the art world With a title such as ‘Plundering Beauty’, one might be forgiven for thinking Arthur Tompkins’ slim grey book is of the same ilk as ‘Shades of Grey’. Nothing could be further from the truth. Hidden between its covers is a fascinating story of mankind’s wars down the centuries, paralleled by an equally extensive catalogue of the theft, destruction, plundering, displacement and concealing of some of the world’s greatest works of art. In the second of the Longwood Life Lessons series in Featherston, presented by Friends of Kokomai, comes Arthur Tompkins, Wellington District Court Judge and the author of ‘Plundering Beauty’, subtitled ‘A History of Art Crime during War’. A regular guest of Kim Hill on Saturday mornings on RNZ, Arthur Tompkins will present a talk on ‘Gentlemen Art Thieves: Persistent myths and great art’. In that, he will explore and trace the stubborn

and recurring myth of the gentleman art thief, who steals masterpieces for solitary enjoyment in exotic hideaways: from Adam Worth, the original ‘Napoleon of Crime’, to James Bond’s first arch-villain Dr No, and finally Thomas Crown’s theft (and return) of Monet’s San Giorgio Maggiore at Dusk. During the course of the talk, several questions will be posed. For instance, if such a mythical master thief did exist, which of the world’s greatest stolen (and still missing) artworks might be languishing in his hidden art collection?

And is there a new commitment to the idea that a society’s artistic heritage belongs to itself or all humankind? Come and hear from Arthur about opportunistic thieves, missing masterpieces, ransom, and always money, money, money. This event is one of a series of monthly talks hosted by Friends of Kokomai. • Tickets for this event on Sunday, February 24, 4.30pm at Longwood, Featherston, can be purchased from Eventfinda.

STAY IN GOOD HEALTH

WAIRARAPA

DON’T LET CHILDREN PARTICIPATE IN HEAVY ACTIVITY OUTDOORS DURING THE HOTTEST HOURS OF THE DAY

Children and elderly vulnerable to heat exhaustion Children, older people and those with medical conditions are all at risk of heat stress in the current hot spell. Extreme heat can affect blood pressure and hydration so it is important for those who are vulnerable to stay out of the sun, avoid extreme physical exertion and not be left alone in stationary vehicles. Heat exhaustion starts slowly but if it is not quickly treated it can progress to heatstroke. In heatstroke, a person’s temperature reaches 40.5°C which can be lifethreatening. Signs of heat exhaustion include: increased thirst, weakness and extreme tiredness, fainting, muscle cramps, nausea and vomiting, irritability, headache, increased sweating, cool, clammy skin, and a rising body temperature.

What causes heat exhaustion

Each person’s body needs to maintain a core temperature that is approximately 37C. The body regulates heat loss and gain in various ways to maintain this temperature. In hot weather it primarily cools itself through sweating. The body’s ability to regulate its temperature isn’t fully developed in the young and may be reduced by illness, medications or other factors in older adults.

Remind children to look for shaded areas and rest often while outside. Don’t let them participate in heavy activity outdoors during the hottest hours of the day.

Elderly

Drink cool, non-alcoholic beverages. If your doctor generally limits the amount of fluid you drink or has you on water pills, ask him how much you should drink when the weather is hot. Also, avoid extremely cold liquids because they can cause cramps.

Children

Teach children to always drink plenty of liquids before and during any activity in hot weather, even if they aren’t thirsty.

Rest, take cool showers or baths, remain indoors in the heat of the day, wear lightweight clothing, and don’t engage in strenuous activities.

Make sure they wear light coloured, loose clothing in warm weather.

Visit older adults at risk and watch for signs of heat exhaustion.

Bite and sting searches spike The Ministry of Health’s website has seen a spike in the number of people searching for information on jellyfish stings, wasp and bee stings, spider and insect bites this holiday season.

Stings and bites can range from mild irritations to serious, even life-threatening, wounds. Some people who are especially sensitive may develop a severe allergic reaction called anaphylaxis.

should be avoided.

Its website www.health.govt.nz provides information on how to avoid and treat different types of bites and stings, how to identify what caused the injury, and how to know when you need to seek professional help. It also contains information on many other common health conditions.

It is important to call 111 for an ambulance if you or someone else has been stung and has symptoms of a serious allergic reaction or anaphylaxis.

People also accessed information on jellyfish stings to help them identify what had stung them, and the best way to treat the wound.

SMOKEFREE JUST GOT EASIER ADVERTORIAL

Becoming Smokefree Just Got Easier Getting the support that you need to be smokefree just got easier in the Wairarapa. You no longer need a Quit Card to obtain Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT). Now you can go straight to your local pharmacy.

THE PHARMACY PROJECT The Pharmacy Project is a new initiative designed to improve access to NRT products in the Wairarapa. It was launched by Tu Ora Compass Health and the Wairarapa District Health Board to coincide with setting positive health goals for the new year. The Pharmacy Project aims to support members of our Wairarapa community who really want to be smokefree.

All seven pharmacies in the Wairarapa are supporting this project. They can provide NRT products, such as gum, lozenges and patches. Pharmacies can also refer anyone who is ready to quit to the Wairarapa Stop Smoking Service, based at Whaiora. Whaiora’s qualified Quit Coaches offer face-to-face support across the Wairarapa, and it’s at no cost to the client. They can also offer incentivised programmes created especially for grandparents, as well as expectant mothers and their families/whanau. With the combined approach of a Quit Coach and NRT products, people are more likely to successfully quit, and stay smokefree. Being smokefree and having smokefree environments can improve the health and wellbeing of our families/ whanau. We already know about the harm caused by tobacco, so it makes sense to be smokefree.

According to the Heath Promotion Agency, the personal and societal benefits of being smokefree are as follows: • You will be healthier  • If you have children, they will be less likely to take  up smoking • You won’t be breathing in second-hand smoke.  In New Zealand approximately 500 people die prematurely due to second-hand smoke and globally this is estimated to be 600,000 people every year • You will save money by not buying cigarettes or  tobacco – lots of money!

• You will be joining the 85% of the New Zealand  population who are smokefree

Spokesperson for Whaiora, Jane Ross, states that since the start of 2019 there has been a marked increase in referrals coming through to the Wairarapa Stop Smoking Service.

“

We are very happy to be supporting our community to be smokefree. If you are someone who is ready to quit smoking our Quit Coaches can support you at your place, our place, in the community or workplace. We can work with you to create a success plan, and offer face-toface support to help keep you on track.

Seminar to inspire fresh ideas Erin Kavanagh-Hall

Wairarapa’s premier sustainable farming seminar is kicking off for the sixth year running – boasting its first international speaker. Registration is now open for the annual Farming for the Future conference, hosted in the region since 2013, to be held at Carterton Events Centre on March 27. The one-day event will feature presentations from a range of primary industry experts from Martinborough to New Hampshire. Topics are targeted at farmers and farm industry specialists looking to adapt farming and business practices in a rapidly changing environment. The 2019 conference will include talks from experts on goat dairy and ethical milking, clean water policy, and new research into managing agricultural emissions, and the spot of keynote speaker has been filled by Gary Hirshberg – an American ethical dairy guru and co-founder of Stonyfield Farm, one of the world’s leading producers of organic yoghurt. Farming for the Future is the brainchild of the South Wairarapa Biodiversity Group (SWBG) and is organised in partnership with the Mangaterere Restoration Society (MRS).

The 2017 Farming For The Future seminar.

MRS member and soil scientist Esther Dijkstra said the seminar aims to help farmers and farm industry specialists find creative yet practical solutions for their businesses in a time of increased environmental awareness and rapidly changing climate. “We want people to come away feeling energised and ready to try new things to enhance their farming, industry or policy practices,” Dijkstra said. This year’s conference will feature five major speakers, with Radio NZ journalist and presenter Susie Ferguson acting as Master of Ceremonies. New Zealand speakers include clean water policy campaigner Marnie Prickett; Sinead Leahy from the New Zealand Agricultural Greenhouse Gas Research Centre; and Canterbury farmer Glen Herud – well known for

Gladstone at top of the table TENNIS Eli Hill

Sport

The competition is getting tight in the Wairarapa Regional One tennis championship. Martinborough broke top-of-the-table Gladstone’s unbeaten run on Saturday, and Opaki moved a step closer to them after narrowly beating Carterton in the first round two matches. Gladstone is now just one point ahead of Martinborough after going 7-2, with Opaki three points further back. At Gladstone, the top-ranked match saw Martinborough’s Chris Wilkie beat Kelby Courtney, who’d taken up the spot due to the unavailability of Lochie McNab, number one through the first round. It was a convincing win from Wilke who won the first set 6-0 and the second 7-5. The same story continued down the line with Martinborough’s Marco de Groot beating Scott Day 6-3, 7-5 and teammate Matt Nicholson winning the third for Martinborough 6-2, 6-1 over William Day.

Continuing the theme, Mike Jones overcame Mitchell Blackwood 6-1, 6-3 and Carla Didsbury beat Bridget Needham 6-1, 6-0. Gladstone’s sole win of the singles went to Julie Malcom against Marta Wilkie, 6-4, 7-5. In the doubles it was a closer contest, with two of the three matches going to three sets. Wilke and de Groot lost their first set 3-6 but came back to win the second 6-4 and the third 6-1, while Nicholson and Jones had an easier run beating Gladstone’s Blackwood and Day 6-4, 6-1. Again, it was Malcom who claimed the only win of the doubles for Gladstone, teaming up with Needham to beat Didsbury and Wilkie match 4-6, 6-3, 6-3. In a closer matchup, Opaki’s victory against Carterton was decided in the doubles. Four of the six singles matches went to three sets, including the first, where Opaki’s top ranked player Chris Davidson started off well against Carterton’s Matt Spooner winning the first set 6-4, but Spooner took the next two 6-3, 6-1.

Opaki’s second-ranked Duncan Oakley fared better beating Andy Steineman 6-3, 6-4. The winning run for Opaki continued when Stu Wyeth beat Marcus Laing 4-6, 6-3, 6-3 but was broken by Moritz Steineman who won against John Gordon 4-6, 6-3, 7-6. Gerry Brooking bolstered Opaki with a 6-1, 6-3 win against Olivia Bailey before Carterton’s Karen Goodall beat Belinda Day 6-0, 6-2 to make it 3-3. That added intensity to the doubles. Carterton started off well with Spooner and Laing pairing up to beat Davidson and Wyeth 7-6, 7-5 in the top match. But Oakley and Jon McNab made a comeback lower down to win the second match for Opaki 6-1, 6-0 from Andy and Moritz Steineman. Brooking and Day secured the victory for Opaki with a 4-6, 6-0, 6-1 win over Goodall and Bailey. Wairarapa Regional One Competition standings: Gladstone 25, Martinborough 24, Opaki 21, Carterton 14.

Tough times in Whanganui CRICKET

Jaco Vorster on his way to 85 runs against Whanganui on Saturday. PHOTO/WHANGANUI CHRONICLE

With Ingham and Vorster out, Wanganui captured another wicket before Patrick Gluck made the team’s final stand. Gluck ended not out on 34 as the three remaining wickets fell quickly, for a total of 279 in the 88th over. In the field, spinner Daniel Ingham was quick to strike, taking his first two wickets in the fourth over before taking a third

in the 10th. However, as play came to a close for the day, Ingham made a diving catch on the boundary and injured his knee. Whanganui finished the day on 64-3 and things looked hopeful for Wairarapa. But Ingham’s knee left him unable to take to the field on Sunday, and Wairarapa had to face a further 77 overs without

a replacement fielder to rotate in hot conditions. Whanganui went on to produce a solid batting performance, including 122 runs from Central Districts batsman Ben Smith. Peter Sigvertsen battled well, taking a three-wicket bag, with Robbie Anderson and Jaco Vorster claiming a wicket each, before Whanganui declared at 385 for 8.

WAIRARAPA TEAM: Robbie Anderson, Choi Jackson, Jeremy Osborne, Patrick Gluck, Jaco Vorster, Daniel Ingham [c], Jack Forrester, Gordon Reisima, Anthony Sprowson, Cole Freeman, Quinn Childs, Pete Sigvertsen.

BRIEF SCORES

WANGANUI: 385-8, 96 overs [B Smith 122, M Fraser 64, M Simes 54no; D Ingham 3-24 P Sigvertsen 3-92] BEAT WAIRARAPA: 279, 88.5 overs and 80-3 [J Vorster 85, R Anderson 63, D Ingham 39; D Martin 5-67, C Stewart 3-48]

Sport

Wairarapa reached 80-3 in their second innings. Coach Neil Perry said the team was happy with the effort they’d produced on the field. “I’m really proud of how we’ve done we played a high standard of cricket on the field and there was plenty of communication amongst the team. “I think we were unfortunate that we couldn’t have Daniel [Ingham] on the field. We’ve really put in the hard graft and I feel I feel if things had been slightly different I wouldn’t have been surprised if we’d won the game.”

Eli Hill

It wasn’t the result Wairarapa was hoping for going into their last Furlong Cup cricket match of the year, with the side suffering a first innings loss to Whanganui at Victoria Park, Whanganui, over the weekend. The two-day match was the last of the season for the teams, both of whom were placed fourth in the Cup standings on 23 points. Opening batsmen Robbie Anderson and Anthony Sprowson got Wairarapa off to a strong start on Saturday, with a 94 run partnership that lasted 26 overs before Sprowson was bowled for 30. Anderson battled on reaching 63, including 11 fours. When Anderson fell, Whanganui managed to pocket two more wickets before Jaco Vorster took up the mantle for Wairarapa hitting 85 runs off 112 balls including 12 fours and three sixes. Vorster also formed an 85-run partnership with captain Daniel Ingham that saw the side reach 198 runs early in the 63rd over when Ingham was caught for 39 runs off 70 balls.
