Martinborough church praises 150 years The iconic Presbyterian First Church marked a milestone last month with a packed weekend of celebrations, SUE TEODORO reports. The Queen’s birthday weekend celebration saw Presbyterian Moderator Right Reverend Fakaofo Kaio and his wife Ruth in town, along with Wairarapa MP Kieran McAnulty and South Wairarapa District Council mayor Alex Beijen. The Moderator is the elected spiritual head or leader of the Presbyterian Church in New Zealand. Longstanding minister at the church, Jim Veitch, was there with wife Jan and church representatives from across the region. Congregation members past and present turned out for the celebrations in big numbers. One couple renewed their vows 64 years after marrying in that very place. More than 150 attended the birthday party for the Jellicoe Street landmark, named First Church because it really is Martinborough’s very ﬁrst church. McAnulty said he was grateful to have been invited to the celebration and said the congregation could take pride in what they achieved. “During the celebration, I reﬂected

on how when the settlers arrived in Martinborough and established the church, they wouldn’t have imagined that 150 years later, Martinborough would be recognised across the globe as a world-class wine producing region. “I also reflected on the fact that while their first focus upon settling in Martinborough was to set up a church, my great grandmother’s great grandfather, Henry Burling, established Featherston and the first thing he did was build a pub - so slightly different priorities,” He said while the numbers attending church was fewer these days, churches remained an integral part of our society. “In a time of record construction and development the church buildings remain cherished for adding character to our towns and reminding us of that earlier time. The congregation can take pride in their role in preserving all of that.” Continued on page 3

Young Mckenzye Couveld and her classmates quizzed Lyn Patterson on life at council before Masterton Mayor’s handed over a $1000 cash prize. Mckeynze, 5, is enjoying her ﬁrst term at Masterton’s Mauriceville School, a rural primary with a roll of just 17. She received a certiﬁcate to recognise her school had been nominated for the cash, as the most active primary school in the district council’s [MDC] long-term plan consultation. Each respondent was

big percentage of their tiny rolls submit to the consultation. Submissions were made online, and written. Mauriceville’s students were keen to quiz the Mayor on MDC’s role and her job leading the council. And if the grilling the council leader received is anything to go by, principal Kim Lupo has a tiny press pack of eager junior journalists forming in Wairarapa’s rolling hills.

South Wairarapa District Council mayor Alex Beijen said history was important to any town, but to have the church that built the second building in Waihenga – the precursor to presentday Martinborough – still in existence was something to celebrate. “During covid lockdown, we relied on many people to stand up and ensure the vulnerable in the community were contacted. First Church, among others, were crucial in this, showing they have an important role in our community,” he said. The weekend started with a dinner on Saturday at Peppers Parehua Martinborough. There was a large service at the church on Sunday, where the vow renewal took place. The couple, Leonie and Ian Couper, were married there in June 1967. At the service, the congregation sung a hymn

They mooted using the cash for trampolines, treehouses, and a big day out. Mayor Patterson pledge to return to see the decision results.

Described as ‘a terriﬁc weekend’ by attendees, people enjoyed discussing memories of the church and community with friends as well as planning for the future. The church was built in 1871, near the present site, with the ﬁrst service held that June. Regular services are held every Sunday. Martinborough historian Mate Higginson said the church was built from timber milled at nearby Moiki. The construction cost about 141 pounds. It had three rows of pews, one of which is in the presentday Martinborough museum. The current church building opened in 1891 on its present site, with the original building at the rear.

Between the flags and beyond UNSUNG HEROES OF EMERGENCY

If you’re ever on Riversdale Beach, you’ll most likely find a familiar figure between the flags. JOHN LAZO-RON reports. Dedicated and high quality. Those words basically sum up the number of volunteer surf lifeguards, trainers, instructors and administrators from the Riversdale Beach Surf Lifesaving Club who devote precious time to keep their community and people who tread the water safe. The club has built a reputation as one of the most formidable surf lifesaving clubs in the Wellington region. It frequently punches above its weight, which was recently displayed when they won Club of the Year at the Capital Coast Surf Life Saving Awards. And one of the core members that has helped the club achieve its status is Jane Tiley. Tiley has been at the club for 15 years. She started off as a lifeguard but has taken on many different roles as time has passed. She is now one of the club’s callout squad members who regularly turns out for Wellington Free Ambulance as a first responder. Tiley told Midweek she took on the role as a surf lifeguard for a personal challenge, after many years playing professional basketball in Europe. However, after time, she said it was more about doing her part for the community. “Initially, I wanted to become a surf lifeguard for the challenge. I just finished playing professional sport and I wanted a new challenge and physically that was good,” she said. “But once you become a lifeguard there’s all the additional elements to it, including supporting the community. “I think it’s important to help the community.

If you live in a small community like Riversdale everybody needs to do their bit and that’s the role I can play with the club, and hopefully it’s useful to people in times of need. “To be honest, there are so many people doing different amazing things here, I’m just doing my bit.” She said she was now responsible for the club’s Nippers programme [5-14-year-olds] that teaches kids life guarding and water safety and skills over the school holidays in January. She said inputting the skills she has learnt to the younger generation as well as driving the Inflatable Rescue Boat [IRB] was one of the most satisfying parts of her role. “I really love driving the IRB in preparation for rescue or transporting the nippers to their activities. That was one of the major drawcards really along with training the young lifeguards and the nippers.” “And through that, each year just keeps going for me.” Throughout the 15 years Tiley said she has seen it all, from scrapped knees to serious emergency, which she has come to learn was all part of the role. “We get everything and anything really,” she said. “We’ve had boats that flip with serious injury, quad bike accidents, heart conditions, we’ve had road accidents, we’ve had two or three people barbed by a sting ray, and in some cases death experiences, which really hurts because you do your best to save people. But there is a dark side to it at times.” Tiley’s amazing effort and dedication has not gone unnoticed, with the Whareama primary school

easily gone to anyone at our club because we have a great crew. I don’t want to take the limelight because everyone at the club does great things here. “We’re a small little club in the Wairarapa and to be up against all the big clubs of Wellington [in the club of the year award] was really satisfying and a reward for everyone’s hard work.”

Tiley said she was thankful to the Riversdale community for the support they have shown to keep the club afloat. “The support we get from the local community is amazing,” she said. “We have to fundraise for everything that we do, so it works hand in hand. We try and do the best we can to keep people safe and they always step up and support us so it’s a great environment to be in.” Tiley said she no plans to give up her roles with the club anytime soon, so if you’re ever in Riversdale, don’t be surprised if you see her fishing, teaching her son to surf, going out and checking the craypots, or just taking in all that the sea has to offer.

Farmers fight for the flocks

STICKMAN’S WEEKLY SPECIALS MASTERTON

Grace Prior

grace.prior@age.co.nz

Farmers assembled en masse in Masterton on Friday to protest government regulations, causing the biggest traffic jam Masterton has seen in recent years. About 300 people with 50 tractors and 100 utes attended the Groundswell “Howl of a Protest” in Masterton as farmers flocked to the streets across the country. It has been said the protest could be the biggest rural protest in New Zealand history. Organisers said many in the rural sector have had enough of the rising regulations on water, environment, biodiversity, climate change, and now the “ute tax”. Farmers have said legislation many rural people have been facing is “oppressive and costly” and is causing “mental anguish”. Masterton protest organiser Derek Daniell said in a speech unfair regulations were mounting on the primary sector, compared to cities. He said the Essential Freshwater policy had one rule for cities and another for farmers. “Why doesn’t Auckland get fined $10m every time

there is sewage on the beaches? You can swim in the Waikato River above Hamilton, but not below the city sewer outlet.” Daniell said the Significant Natural Areas policy was the government’s “latest attempt at a land grab”. National MP Andrew Bayly, who attended the Wairarapa protest, said National was “very much in support” of the protests and its sentiment. “As a farmer I have an interest, the biggest issue has been the victimisation of farmers which I find quite offensive.” Wairarapa MP Kieran McAnulty did not attend

the protest. He told the Times-Age the sentiment behind it did not represent the whole sector and undermined the hard work of many farmers keen to get ahead of the climate change curve. “Now is not the time to tread water. Maintaining the status quo or, God forbid, going backwards will not deliver for rural communities.” Daniell said we were living in a “soft dictatorship”, and that government policy was full of “half-truths, double standards, and symbolic gestures”. “These are risky times for democracy,” he said.

A can-do attitude goes a long way, but a can of spaghetti for a struggling family can go much further. That was the motto behind Pak’nSave Masterton’s ‘PAK CAN SAVE’ campaign to feed hungry families in the Wairarapa community. The Masterton supermarket teamed up with Waiwaste and Masterton Foodbank recently, asking customers to lend a hand and ‘donate a can’ to feed families struggling to put food on their tables. And lend a hand they did. Over two weeks Pak’nSave Masterton customers filled three large produce crates worth of goods that ended up totalling close to $1300. A variety of goods were donated by generous customers, who even went a step further than cans, donating items such as pet food, coffee, tea and nappies. But the generosity did not stop there with the supermarket matching dollar for dollar every item that was donated. Pak’nSave Masterton

I’ve always said it’s a privilege to be here at Pak’nSave because helping the community is part of who we are.

owner Andrew Summerville was thrilled to be able to support the community in such a way, saying it was what the supermarket is all about. “I’ve always said it’s a privilege to be here at Pak’nSave because helping the community is part of who we are,” Summerville said. “It’s almost part of our DNA that we have to embed ourselves in the community and doing things like this where can support families are excellent.” Summerville presented Masterton Foodbank with $1300 worth of credit for the store so they could freely pick items that were needed most. Summerville was just as happy that the community got behind the campaign, although he wasn’t surprised by the generosity. “After being here for three and half years, I’ve really got a feel

for how generous the community is,” he said. “I was definitely thrilled that we were able to fill three massive trolleys with groceries, but in truth, it doesn’t surprise me anymore. People are just so amazing and generous here. “And the better thing about it all was that one can was two cans.” Masterton Foodbank volunteer Jane Ammundsen repeated Summerville’s delight in the community’s response to the campaign. “I can’t explain how happy we are, we’re over the moon with delight,” she said. “The generosity of Pak’nSave and the customers is outstanding. It’s been such a wonderful support to the Foodbank and we can’t thank them enough.” Due to the success of the campaign, Summerville said he would look to do it again in the near future. “We always want to do something to give back to the community, so possibly in a few months time we’ll be looking to do something similar again.”

Students rocking for a cause Anisha Satya It was a rewarding night for performers at Wairarapa College’s Concert for a Cause. The event, held earlier this month, featured performances from bands and singers from the school and Rathkeale College, who entertained the audience for more than two hours. There was no shortage of talent. Many of the night’s acts were finalists at the Talent Wairarapa competition last month. Several also participated in RockQuest. For veteran bands Dragonfly and Dixon’s List, the night was yet another medal on the wall. For performers newer to the scene, such as Year 10 band Captivated, it served as a valuable on-stage experience. Teacher-in-charge Fleur Hardman said it was “a great night showcasing some of the amazingly talented musicians at Wairarapa College and Rathkeale.” The event also included pieces from both current and former students, such as ex-Wairarapa

raking in an impressive $773, the school’s total now sits at more than $9,000. Even now, post40 Hour Famine and post-concert, that total continues to climb. Wairarapa College Student Famine team member Caelan Van Bilijon noted that the

increase came with online donations. “I feel like more attention was brought to it due to the [number] of students who took part,” she said. Caelan is part of a strong student team that campaigns, coordinates and collects funds throughout the 40 Hour Famine. She said she was incredibly proud of the team and the wider college community for their efforts during the campaign. Something Hardman also reiterated. “Big thanks goes out to the musicians, tech crew and teachers who made it all possible.” The 40 Hour Famine is an international event that aims to aid those in poverty and crises by providing resources, getting communities back on their feet. With about 30 million people on the verge of starvation worldwide, this year’s campaign focussed on fundraising for the hunger crisis in sub-Saharan Africa by providing families with fast-growing crops and the means to create sustainable gardens.

Colour your winter garden

We are already half way through winter, and looking around some gardens are starting to look a bit gloomy and boring. If it sounds like I’m talking about your garden, then come in and see us, one of our friendly & knowledgeable team can help you pick something perfect to make your garden look great.

Fabulous Flowers HELLEBORES Winter Roses are a fabulous plant for winter interest, they have stunning flower displays and thrive in shady areas with dappled light, perfect for planting in bulk under deciduous trees. They can even be kept indoors while they are looking their best during the cooler months and then planted outdoors later.

ILLUMI LIME ILLUMI LIME Growing only 50cm tall and 30cm wide this fabulous new addition to the Hellebore family has distinctive veined & marbled leathery leaves and a mass of lime green flowers through winter.

CYCLAMENS FOR POTS OR GARDENS

Fabulous Foliage

It doesn’t have to be all about the flowers to make a garden look great, there are many that have incredible foliage, or even interesting ‘woodwork’ while bare.

PHORMIUM YELLOW WAVE

RHODODENDRON ‘HOPPY’

ACID LOVING BEAUTIES You’re sure to find something to fill your acid loving garden with loads of colours, sizes & flowering times because we have a huge range to choose from. Some options could include Ericas, Pieris, Rhododendrons, Camellias or Daphne. Give them the best start by boosting the soil with Daltons Premium Acid Mix. This can be used in the garden or pots and contains a 10 month controlled release fertiliser.

PENNYS PINK

Cyclamens are a great idea for a winter gift for someone special Cyclamens can be grown in the garden to brighten up a shady spot in winter, or in a pot and kept indoors while their flowers & scent are at their best. They love the cold, it seems to revitalise them, so if you are keeping yours inside it could be a good idea to pop them outside for a night now and then. The ideal growing media for Cyclamens is an African Violet Mix and if fed regularly with a liquid food they may flower until midspring. Another way to extend flowering is to remove the spent blooms, this should be done by gently twisting them off at the base and pulling them away from the bulb rather than cutting.

PIERIS ‘VALLEY VALENTINE’

LEUCADENDRONS. These are striking in winter, the colours become more vivid and are popular for cut flower arrangements. Remember they don’t need a lot of extra care, they thrive on neglect! Plant in full sun.

FLAXES. The sword like leaves of Phormiums come in many shades and look great planted in mass and with grasses. Phormium tenax (harakeke) grows to 2-3m tall and was traditionally used for weaving. Plant if you have wet ground, or want a shelter belt that attracts birds. The mountain flax (cookianum) is shorter and is the most tolerant of dry, windy sites. For best colour, plant flaxes in full sun, most are frost hardy. Keep them looking tidy cut old foliage with a sharp knife at the base (or to make it easy use a Niwashi Shark). If you see plain green foliage coming through coloured varieties remove before it takes over.

COPROSMA EVENING GLOW COPROSMA. This tough plant is also known as the Mirror Plant due to the glossy foliage that looks good all year. The shades of the different varieties add interest to coastal gardens, borders & rockeries.

NANDINAS. Also known as Heavenly Bamboo, these hardy shrubs come in a range of sizes and foliage tones. Plant in bulk or grow one in a pot.

Carterton

10 Wairarapa Midweek Carterton Wednesday, July 21, 2021 One mistaken mouse click has uncovered an email chain implicating two Carterton District councillors in a plot to undermine the council’s Long-Term Plan. The Mayor says the emails amount to a breach of trust. TOM TAYLOR investigates. Carterton councillors are embroiled in a war of words after accidentally sending the council’s chief executive an email thread outlining plans to challenge the recently adopted LongTerm Plan. The email was intended for a friend with a similar email address. On July 2, Councillor Jill Greathead forwarded nine pages of emails to Carterton District Council [CDC] acting chief executive Blair King. She had meant to send the emails to another contact that began with the letters ‘BL’. Councillor Steve Cretney also participated in the email chain. The emails were sent among 19 recipients, including former councillors and a former mayor. Participants in the email thread discussed their disappointment in the adoption of Carterton’s Long-Term Plan [LTP]. Mayor Greg Lang said the emails exposed a “breach of trust” and a breach of the council’s Code of Conduct. He described the actions of the two councillors as “political manoeuvring”. Carterton councillors signed oﬀ their LTP at a meeting on June 30. Greathead and Cretney were the only councillors who had opposed its adoption. At the meeting, Cretney had questioned ﬁnancial information within the LTP budget.

“There are figures in there that are incorrect,” Cretney said. In the email thread, Cretney said he had not had enough “ammunition” at the council meeting to dispute the auditor’s findings. “I found today extremely difficult and am very grateful it is over,” he said. He thanked other members of the email thread for attending and speaking in the public forum of the meeting. “You were all outstanding and should be sitting in my chair around the table.” Another member of the email chain said they would prepare a document to appeal the LTP vote based on concerns around consultation. Greathead said she would distribute this document among the members and ask them if they would like to co-sign it. The document would then be taken before the Ombudsman and Auditor-General. “If we don’t challenge them, they will do it again,” Greathead said of other councillors who had voted to adopt the LTP.

Councillor Cretney reiterated Greathead’s stance. Unsuccessful 2021 Carterton byelection candidate Grant Pittams was also a participant in the email thread. Pittams referred to Greathead and Cretney as the “frontline troops” of an army preparing for a battle in next year’s local government elections. He said the “army” wanted to help CDC set an example through its governance process. “Going forwards from here, the LTP is now in place, and that is a victory for the other side,” Pittams said. “[W]e need to put that defeat behind us and prepare for the next battle … The point of the war is to achieve the aims of our group for the betterment of our community.” Pittams said he sought an LTP that would not place a further burden on residents already struggling to meet their rates obligations. Carterton had the highest average residential rates in New Zealand for two years running, according to the Taxpayers’ Union

Ratepayers’ Report. Cretney agreed with Pittams’ assessment of the situation. “My thoughts above are along the lines of what Grant has said.” Greathead said Pittams’ comments were inspired by Sun Tzu’s “The Art of War”, an ancient Chinese military text. “I can be a frontline troop,” Greathead said. “We have to start taking control – communities have to start taking control of what we spend.” Mayor Lang said it appeared the members of the email chain were working together to discredit the current council ahead of next year’s local body election. On July 7, after a meeting with Greathead and Cretney, Lang had sent the entire contents of the email chain to all councillors. “In light of being fully transparent, [deputy mayor] Rebecca [Vergunst] and I feel it is important that you are made aware of this breach of trust.” Lang expressed his disappointment in Greathead and Cretney and highlighted the areas of the Code of Conduct he believed the councillors had not upheld. He said the councillors had broken sections 3.2, 5.2, 5.3, and 11 of the CDC Code of Conduct. These sections addressed issues of public trust, courtesy, and respect among employees, the reputation of the

local authority, and good governance of the district. “I take any breach of the code of conduct seriously because it is not in keeping with the community’s expectations of elected members,” Lang said. “It is a privilege to serve our communities, so we must act in a way which honours that privilege.” However, Lang chose not to pursue a Code of Conduct complaint. “We felt it was best to deal with it internally as code of conduct complaints tend to morph into the cause of further problems and the widening of rifts.” Lang said the adoption of the LTP was a process that had lasted 18 months, with multiple opportunities for councillors to debate issues openly. “This is democracy, and this is what our community deserves.” After Lang sent the email chain to councillors, councillor Rob Stockley provided the emails to the Times-Age. “I’m doing this completely on my own, without anyone else and without seeking permission from the mayor or other elected members,” Stockley said. Greathead said she had sent the email chain to King in error and had asked Lang not to distribute it among councillors. “We live in a democracy. People are allowed to say what they want to say,” Greathead said.

Opinion

Good to know we can It’s not hard to give praise when it’s due. When someone does something amazing or helpful, particularly for the community. Here at Midweek, we get frequently notified about people who fall into this category. People who have done something of significance for a person or organisation. And too right. While most people don’t always like the limelight, some do deserve to be recognised for their efforts, which we will show in the form of a story. And right now, I don’t want to point out a person or organisation as such, but the actual Wairarapa community in general, for the amazing generosity they continue to show people in time of need. You’ll see in this edition I covered a story where Pak’nSave Masterton ran a ‘PAK CAN SAVE’ campaign to feed hungry families in the Wairarapa community. The Masterton supermarket teamed up with Waiwaste and Masterton Foodbank and asked customers to lend a hand and ‘donate a can’ to

But what I find extraordinary is that the generosity is a frequent occurrence within the region. Many people, who are probably not all that well-off themselves, more than happy to help out their fellow custodian. It’s brilliant and I really hope it doesn’t stop. People could argue this happens everywhere, but for someone who has lived in a lot of different places, and reported on such events, I still haven’t seen such a generous community like Wairarapa is. Summerville put it perfectly when he said, “helping the community is part of who we are. It’s almost part of our DNA that we have to embed ourselves in the community”. Well done Wairarapa, and please don’t stop showing your generosity for others in need.

CUTIE OF THE WEEK

John Lazo-Ron feed families struggling to put food on their tables. Over the two-week campaign Pak’nSave Masterton customers managed to fill three large produce crates worth of goods that totalled close to $1300. Seeing the picture of the filled trolleys, along with the joy and enthusiasm of supermarket owner Andrew Summerville, who was thrilled with the donations, showed me just how much Wairarapa cares about its own. Masterton Foodbank volunteer Jane Ammundsen reiterated that saying the community’s generosity towards helping them was outstanding. I agree. To be honest, it shouldn’t come as a surprise to me as I’ve seen excess produce, ovens, and home furniture donated to different organisations during my time here.

I and everyone I know just have one. How many Christmas celebrations do you enjoy? Over 3 billion Christians over the world celebrate Christmas once every year and most of the western world join in for the fun times and holidays. But not so in Greytown. A small retail promotion group suggest it is also Christmas in July. Their mid-winter festivities have a great program full of coloured lights, fun and joy but they are confused and struggling for an appropriate name for the event. They need our help. The name would need to be smart and sassy, coz that’s how they are. Maybe a bit eye catching and of course super modern. Above all though they are looking for something original. ‘Festival of Lights’ has been oﬀered but maybe that’s already in

use. What can we do? Well if you are coming to town to share in the fun just have a chat with the retailers. They’ll be keen to chat and hear your suggestions. Tell them what you think and reassure them you’ll still come visit even after they identify their new name. Or, you could simply go online. Post a comment on their Facebook page, ‘Greytown Village Heaven’ they have named themselves. Share your ideas and suggestions. Be original but above all remain respectful of the established beliefs and traditions of others. I am sorry I cannot oﬀer a boutique weekend for two as a prize for the best contributions but you can be reassured that you are helping them to leave our Christmas alone. Bruce Farley Greytown

If you die without a Will (intestate) the process to obtain a grant to administer your estate (“Letters of Administration”) often takes significantly longer and is more costly as opposed to the process for applying for Probate of a will. This is the process of proving the validity of the will which may be more straightforward and less costly. Where your estate is small, less than $15,000.00 at the time of your death, a copy of your valid will is normally sufficient for the named executor/s (without Probate being required) to close your bank account and/or transfer shares and other investments. However, there are circumstances where, if you don’t have a valid will, small estates may still require Letters of Administration. For example, if your sole estate asset is a Kiwisaver account, some Kiwisaver providers will not release the funds unless an administrator has been appointed. Furthermore, to close bank accounts, sell or transfer shares of property may require a grant of Letters of Administration which may be costly. You choose who administers your estate If you have signed a will and you choose who is to be the executor/s of your estate; these person/s will administer your estate. Whereas, if you die intestate you do not choose who administers your estate. The person appointed is normally the person highest in the order of priority as set out in the Administration Act. Furthermore, a surviving spouse/civil union partner or a de facto partner may be entitled to benefit on intestacy. If you have separated, but not formally finalised the separation, your ex-partner may have the first priority to apply to administer your estate. You choose who inherits your estate In your will you can set out your wishes as to who inherits your estate and the shares they receive. You can also appoint testamentary guardians for your children and set out, if you wish, to be buried or cremated? If, however, you die intestate you do not choose who inherits your estate. The Administration Act 1969 sets out how an intestate estate is to be distributed. If you die with a spouse, partner and children your partner receives the personal chattels and the prescribed amount which is currently $155,000.00 but your spouse or partner receives a one third share of the residuary and the remaining two thirds is held for your children.

Escape the cold, explore Matariki Forget the cold and rain these school holidays and escape with the family to Aratoi to make, learn and play together in their purpose made space for families. The museum has again, for the second year running, ﬁlled the Wesley Wing with a hands-on Matariki themed exhibition. The Māori new year period, Matariki, is a time for remembrance, and celebration. Three things are particularly important: remembering those who have passed, celebrating the present and looking to the future. One of the activities to enjoy within the gallery space is a throw-back to an education programme Aratoi ran in 2018, where a huge korowai [cloak] was stitched by students from Wairarapa schools. Weaving represents many of the spiritual values of Māori people:

The Wairarapa coast offers us a bountiful supply of delicious shellfish. However, to sustain an ongoing supply there are rules and regulations in the taking of shellfish from the sea. These regulations are regularly monitored and enforced. Listed on the chart are the daily bag and size restrictions: *Dredge oyster, Paua and Scallop must be landed in the shell and cannot be shucked or shelled seaward of the

mean high-water mark. This does not include dredge oysters and scallops shucked onboard a vessel for immediate consumption within daily bag limits. *Rock oysters and paciﬁc oysters must not be opened while they adhere to the object on which they grow. #Toheroa must not be taken possessed or disturbed unless an open season is declared by the Director-General of Ministry of Primary Industries. **Limited provision allows a diver on a vessel to gather extra bag limits of oysters and scallops for up to 2 other people acting in a dive safety capacity from that vessel, The safety people

must be on board the vessel and acting in that capacity when the diving is undertaken. If only one safety person is on board the vessel, only 1 extra bag maybe taken. A maximum of 2 extra bag limits may be taken per vessel, regardless of the number of people diving. ##This is a combined mixed-species bag limit, it applies to all shellfish species not specifically named above, and includes all crabs, limpets, starfish, periwinkles, whelks, barnacles and freshwater crayfish [koura].

July UPDATE URBAN RUBBISH DISPOSAL

MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR In my last column I may have spoken too soon. Bad weather inundated our region not before too long, and many of our residents were affected by road and bridge closures for a few days. Thankfully, we were able to get messages out quickly, everyone appeared to have prepared well and remained safe. It is a timely reminder to have our individual emergency evacuation and management plans at the ready as our region is prone to mother nature’s wrath. The Long Term Plan is now published and available to all. Months of effort has led to this output and the focus is now on actioning the operational plans. The plan is largely based on the Council’s assessment of priority areas of need and your submissions. Around 3,000 of you were randomly selected to participate in the Council’s Perceptions Survey. A huge thank you to everyone that responded. Your feedback will help the Council to understand your expectations and experience so it may better respond to your needs. The survey closed on 19 July. We will share the results once the research company has analysed the data. Speaking of needs, Hinekura Road is in need of repairs to make it fit-for-purpose after a hill subsidence caused the road to also slip in parts. After being closed for a while, with an alternative route through Admiral Road, temporary repairs have been done to make the road accessible to light vehicles. The Council is working with Greater Wellington Regional Council (GWRC) and NZTA to develop a longterm plan. GWRC should have their drainage and planting plan to Council for consideration in the next week or two. Your Council and Councillors are very aware of the effect this slip has on the local residents and their service providers. The job is far bigger and more complex than ever

imagined and requires careful assessment and planning to ensure the fix is sustainable. We will continue to provide regular updates to the community. In the meantime, please travel safely. Featherston’s by-election to fill an extraordinary vacancy on the Featherston Community Board closes at midday on 22 July. I hope the good people of Featherston put forward nominees of calibre that can work well with the community board and continue to represent the community well. I have been delighted to see the numerous Matariki events around the region celebrating Māori New Year. The stars on cold frosty nights appear to shine brighter than ever, with the Pleiades cluster showing strongly. I hope you had the chance to attend an event or two and experience the joy of Matariki with loved ones. And last, but not least, Greytown is having another successful mid-winter Christmas festival. This gives our region another opportunity to get out and about with family and friends, enjoying the beautiful lights, programme of events and the food Greytown has on offer. It has also attracted out-of-towners and feedback has been very positive. Winter has its downside, but events such as this and Matariki bring a lot of joy as well. Enjoy! Ngā mihi

HANDS OF COMPASSION

A three-masted 18th century Dutch ship.

The earliest recorded European shipwreck on our coast was the David in 1841. Maori lore points to one much earlier. MARK PACEY writes in his occasional series highlighting Wairarapa shipwrecks.

WAIRARAPA SHIPWRECK owned those items or for those people already living there. Many new items from the ship would have been seen by Maori for the first time. Blue and white china was prized by Maori and was said to have been broken into pieces and turned into ornaments and pendants. As yet, none of these has been found within an archaeological context. Famed Wairarapa historian Austin Bagnall recalls in his book ‘Wairarapa – An Historical Excursion’ that a chief named Whakatahaki-te-rangi obtained a tomahawk from the wreck, which he mounted on a whalebone handle and named Te Whata-o-terangi. Author and ethnographer Elsdon Best later put the question to Ngati Kahungunu scholar Hoani Te Whatahoro Jury whether he had heard anything from elders about Rongotute. Jury told him about the tomahawk and red blankets which were recovered from the survivors of the ship which Maori named tahurangi. In Jury’s account, Maori were shown how to make damper by Rongotute’s men before things turned violent. Three survivors

Some wrecks are legends Stories relating to unidentified sailing ships visiting New Zealand from Abel Tasman in 1642 to Captain Cook in 1769 are numerous. Did any of these visitors come to Wairarapa? According to Maori lore, they did. The story of Rongotute is fascinating, but also varied, and several different versions of the legend exist and not all relate to our region. The Wairarapa story says that a strange ship appeared off the coast of Cape Palliser. It either anchored offshore or was blown on to land by fierce weather. The Rongotute name is associated with the captain of the ship and not the vessel itself. The Wairarapa coast has a grim history for shipwrecks, and it is highly likely the ship became stranded. The next part of the story says that after a meeting Maori, the crew were killed and eaten, and the ship stripped of all the things that could be used. It was then set on fire to retrieve the metal nails and fittings. At first, this may seem excessive, but looking at some of the behaviour of early European visitors to New Zealand, this action becomes justified. There are many accounts of foreign sailors kidnapping Maori women from their tribes. Also, men from ships would also come ashore to gather supplies with little or no regard for who

managed to escape and put to sea in a boat and were last seen heading up the east coast. The sinister epilogue of this event came when Maori started becoming sick. The ship had been carrying something else with it. Something Maori had no immunity to. Whether this was smallpox as some suggest or venereal disease, which would reinforce the vile intentions the sailors had with Maori women, remains unclear. What is believed, is that this disease had the effect of decreasing the Maori population of Wairarapa during that time. There are numerous stories of foreign vessels visiting New Zealand before and after Cook. As to which country the Palliser Bay visitor came from is unknown. Theories range from English to French and Dutch to Spanish. The Rongotute name can also be attributed to different locations in New Zealand and different timeframes, so it is likely there was more than one Rongotute, each of them a mystery. In the words of Bagnall, “until we can confirm the Wairarapa tradition by some identifiable relic or by the still possible discovery of some ship which did not return to base, Rongotute and his vessel must stand in question”. For now, the sands of Wairarapa are keeping their secrets.

Our hands are very important and we wouldn’t want to lose them. We use them to do our work, to eat and to drink. We use them to do good— hugging our loves ones which makes us feel good and helping others. But sadly we can also hurt others with our hands and we can leave scars behind for the rest of people’s lives. Scars on the outside as well as on the inside. If you are one of them, can I direct you to the One who knows what it means to be laughed at and made fun of? One who has been deeply hurt, physically as well as mentally. His name is Jesus. He did only good. He took the little children in His arms and blessed them. He had compassion on people and showed it to them by feeding them. So why did they hate Him so much and want to get rid of Him? It’s the same today. Many people don’t want anything to do with Him. Jesus Himself gives the answer. He says: …Light is come into the world and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. John 3:19 Jesus exposed their hearts and showed them that they were sinners just like everyone else. Jesus is that light that came into this world. As light reveals truth and exposes what is hidden, Jesus also reveals that you are a sinner like everyone else. Jesus knows your heart because He is God Himself. He knows exactly what lives in your heart. He knows all your thoughts and actions. Nothing is hidden to Him. He not only reveals to you what you are, but He shows you how to become right with

God—to have your sins forgiven. As you can’t meet God like you are, you need a Saviour. Jesus is that Saviour you need. He suffered and died on the cross. He bore on Himself all the suffering and pain that we all deserve for ever—the wages of sin. He made the payment for sin. He has no desire in your death but that you should live forever. Listen to what He says. For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16 Jesus said to Thomas, one of his followers: Behold my hands. John 20:27 Do you see the marks of the nails? Look at Jesus’ hands as He stretched them out on the cross. He hung there on the cross as one of the greatest criminals. He became as the greatest sinner so the greatest of sinners can be saved. He desires to come and live in your heart. He waits for you to open the door. Jesus says: Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come into him, and will sup with him, and he with me. Rev 3:20 My friend, please open the door of your heart. Do you hear Him knocking? If you desire to know more about Jesus, you can contact me any time. Or you can join us on every 2nd and 4th Sunday of the month at 2pm at The Little Haven. I would love to hear from you. Our next meeting is 25th July. Everyone is most welcome.

MASTERTON TRUST LANDS TRUST

ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021 Year in review The 2021 financial year brought unexpected challenges, but two years into our six-year strategy the Trust’s finance, property and grants objectives are on target.

We provided a $5,000 grant to Digital Seniors for digital education in the community including Masterton resthomes. Digital Seniors provides one-on-one coaching to help older people use digital devices. One of the programme’s long-term aims is to reduce loneliness and social isolation for our older people. The Trust’s funding helped support over 400 seniors.

Finance

Looking ahead

The financial aspects of our strategy focus on reducing the risks associated with our commercial property business and increasing the level of grants we can distribute to the community each year. This approach, together with the increase in our investment portfolio value contributed to a reduction in debt as a proportion of total assets from 30.5 percent to 26.0 percent. The value of our property portfolio grew to $81.8 million.

As we look to the year ahead and working with you to benefit the Masterton community, we are delighted to be celebrating the Trust’s 150th anniversary in 2022. It will be a unique milestone for the Trust as well as an opportunity to reflect on its early work and acknowledge its place in the community today.

After the distribution of grants, the Trust reported an operating surplus of $1.6 million. A continued conservative approach governs our overarching strategy to ensure the Trust’s longterm sustainability.

COVID-19 support The COVID-19 pandemic that escalated in 2020 had a significant impact on the Trust and our tenants. The Trust provided rent rebates for our tenants to the value of $230,000 to assist businesses during the COVID-19 lockdown period. We’d like to acknowledge our tenants for their goodwill during this time. The global pandemic saw our Masterton community experience unique and unexpected challenges. In response, the Trust moved quickly to establish a COVID-19 Community Support Fund of $50,000. The aim of the fund was to provide support for local non-profit organisations to absorb the impact of COVID-19 and to ensure continued service delivery, despite a loss of alternative funding due to the pandemic.

Property MTLT has 90 tenants in our properties across Masterton. Profits from the rental income are used to grow and improve our portfolio and fund our grants programme.

Thanks The Trust has supported the development of the Millennium Reserve since 1994.

Several businesses within MTLT’s portfolio changed ownership in 2020. We have enjoyed continuity of tenancy with the new owners of Versatile Buildings, Scoops Icecream & Eats, and Hell Pizza. We welcomed new tenant Haglund Consulting to Enterprise Village in Kuripuni. The Trust provided concessional rent grants to the value of $621,063 to 12 community organisations to support the services they provide. Thanks to significant maintenance work undertaken prior to 2020, the Trust’s property portfolio remains in strong health, despite a significant portion of scheduled maintenance work having to be deferred due to COVID-19. We hope to complete most, if not all of this, in the current year. The litigation process to recover the cost of addressing structural design issues in a number of Trust-owned buildings is ongoing. The process began in 2016 and the first of these cases are to be heard in the High Court later this year. While the timing for this process is largely out of our control, positive progress has been made to date.

Grants

Science expert Nanogirl demonstrates hands-on learning for Wairarapa school students at Hood Aerodrome during Wings Over Wairarapa 2021.

During the year, the Trust supported a number of fun and engaging events that were well attended by schools across the district. A highlight in early 2021 was the Wings Over Wairarapa STEM programme where 29 schools from years 0-13 participated. Our support for youth was reflected in a grant to assist local senior college students attend a three week Outward Bound experience in the Marlborough Sounds. Outward Bound provides outdoor education challenges to build confidence and resilience. Support for cultural initiatives included grants to support several cultural learning programmes to foster young people’s identity and connection with te reo Māori me ōna tikanga (the language and its cultural practices). These included Nga Tama Toa leadership for boys and Poi Porititi leadership for girls in primary and intermediate schools. Both programmes embraced TuakanaTeina where young students (teina) are mentored by older students (tuakana).

We extend our warm thanks to all of our tenants for their support during the year. We also acknowledge the contributions of various professionals and contractors who complement our small, but very able, management team. Finally, thank you to my fellow Trustees for your commitment and energy in serving the community through your Trust roles. We look forward to continuing to serve and support the Masterton community during the year ahead.

Leanne Southey Chairperson

A $10,000 grant was provided to Makoura College for its Te Kohanga Mātauranga programme which contributed to new kapa haka performance uniforms and taonga as well as a noho marae.

MTLT distributed $910,757 in grants over the year. We recognise that learning is life-long and contributes to community wellbeing. Our grants programme reflects this by supporting new learning opportunities for every age and stage of life. In addition to grants for specific initiatives, Masterton schools and early childhood education centres received roll-based funding for resources or activities that enhance learning. MTLT Trustees: Gary Caffell, Tom Hullena, Frazer Mailman, Christine Brewster, John Bunny, Leanne Southey (Chairperson), Sandy Ryan, Bex Johnson

The first recipients of our Whakaoriori Wellbeing Project grant, St Patrick’s Primary and Chanel College, received $25,710 to implement a programme to build emotional literacy for students in years six to nine. Successful outcomes from the programme will be resilient young people with skills to problem solve, identify triggers and regulate their emotions in social settings. The Young Citizens Club is one of 12 community organisations that received a concessional rent grant from the Trust.

The Trust has committed $600,000 to this project over the next two to three years. It takes a long-term approach with participants involved in programmes that span 12-24 months.

We are still vaccinating our Group 3 population to protect against Covid-19 You are part of this group if you: • are aged 65 and over • have a relevant underlying health condition (visit covid19.govt.nz for more details) • are pregnant (any trimester) • are disabled or caring for a person with a disability

Many people in Group 3 that have received their personal invitation have already followed the instructions and made their appointments.

If you have received your invitation and have not yet booked your Covid-19 vaccination, please do so now.

Want to be involved in the vaccination programme? Wairarapa’s Covid-19 vaccination programme relies on a strong team, including vaccinators and administrators. If you are a great communicator, enjoy a collaborative environment, and would like to talk to us about joining the team, go to our recruitment website www.wairarapadhbjobs.co.nz and apply.

Visit www.VaccinateGreaterWellington.nz to find out more or call the Covid-19 Healthline for free on 0800 358 5453.

DHB happy with Wairarapa’s excellent vaccination uptake Wairarapa has been quick to take up their invitations to vaccinate and demand has been high for Group 3 bookings. Initially, keeping up with the volume was a challenge – but moving to the national call centre has really helped us to manage the volume of callers. Making vaccinations accessible for people is key to the success of a vaccination programme of this scale. We have two clinics, one in Masterton and one in Featherston, and we run specific audience clinics and mobiles too. We will be vaccinating in various places throughout Wairarapa as we roll out to Group 4. Recent examples of tailored vaccination opportunities have included kaupapa Māori clinics, disability clinics and Pasifika clinics - like the recognised seasonal employer (RSE) one, pictured. This was a fun event! More pictures & stories on our Wairarapa DHB website.

CONSERVATION KŌRERO

Conservation champions It’s a win-win for Wairarapa and hapū with the creation of a plant nursery at Kohunui Marae. The nursery will support hapū conservation and cultural ambitions while also providing employment opportunities and native plants for Wairarapa restoration projects. The Kohunui Nursery project is part of a partnership between Kohunui Marae and the Aorangi Restoration Trust. Mahi mō te Taiao | Jobs for Nature funds totalling $145,000 over two years will support the establishment phase of the nursery. According to Kohunui Marae chairwoman Suzanne Murphy, the nursery fits perfectly with goals of self-sustainability, employment opportunities, and reconnecting whānau with the whenua, while practising kaitiakitanga within their rohe. “We’re really excited about this project, it’s a fantastic opportunity for our whānau to further develop, reconnect and practise mātauranga Māori through the collection and growing of native plants. “Playing a significant role in the creation of biodiversity corridors for Wairarapa’s native flora and fauna is also an honour

for our hapū.” As part of their partnership Kohunui Nursery will supply plants to the Aorangi Restoration Trust for the Tonganui Corridors project, which will establish native corridors from the Aorangi Forest Park to the foothills of the Remutaka Ranges. Suzanne said that over time the nursery will provide South Wairarapa

with eco-sourced plants, which are grown from seeds collected locally and therefore ideally suited to local conditions. The funds for Kohunui Nursery will provide salaries for a nursery manager and for seasonal nursery assistants. It will also support 100 hours for a project manager who will work with whānau to set up the nursery. Project

operation and governance will be led by whānau members and embedded in tikanga Māori. “Manaaki whenua, Manaaki tangata, kōkiri whakamua. Care for the land, Care for the people, this we will champion as we go forward,” said Suzanne. DOC community supervisor Andrea Rutene, said this is exactly the sort of work the Jobs for

Nature programme was established to support. “This programme is supercharging conservation efforts of DOC, iwi and hapū, councils, and the wider community to implement kaitiakitanga. It will help restore the mauri and mana of Te Taiao [our nature] by controlling pests and weeds, restoring wetlands, and returning native bush, rivers, and streams to health.” Mahi mō te Taiao/Jobs for Nature is a $1.245 billion investment in the creation of 11,000 jobs. It aims to help revitalise communities through nature-based employment and stimulate the economy post-covid-19. See https:// www.doc.govt.nz/ourwork/jobs-for-nature— mahi-mo-te-taiao/ for more information. If you’re interested in volunteering at the nursery contact kohunuinursery@ gmail.com • The Wairarapa Midweek has partnered with conservation groups to put a spotlight on work on conservation efforts locally.

STAY IN GOOD HEALTH

WAIRARAPA

Are you bothered by feelings of worry or fear,poor concentration, or tiredness? PHOTO/STOCK.ADOBE.COM

When adverts take the buyer off track I remember in my teens, an advertising campaign that caused a furore. Send $10 and a selfaddressed, stamped envelope and we will show you how to cut your power bill in half. Those who couldn’t resist the offer sent off their $10 and received a small pair of scissors back in the mail. Well, it wasn’t false advertising, was it? Misleading yes, but everyone who sent off their money were able to do exactly what the advertisement said. I have just purchased a piece of estate jewellery online for my wife. In the pictures shown, the item was hanging on a chain. When it arrived, there was no chain, so I enquired as to its whereabouts and was told that it wasn’t a chain, it was just a piece of string to show how the item would look on a chain. And, I was told I should have blown the picture up to check or I should have asked. Even blowing up the picture did not clearly show it was a piece of string. An unpleasant exchange of emails took place. My parting shot to the lady concerned was that if she could live with a clear conscience being so deceptive, there was nothing I could do about it. But I told her I would be reporting her to the owners of the website and asking them to ensure she amends the description she had listed on similar items so it was clear the hanging thing wasn’t included. Or she might like to simply include the piece of string. However, this is trivial

Comment – Pick ‘n Mix

Graeme Burnard compared with other deceptive advertising. Volkswagon is in big trouble for selling or leasing 550,000 diesel cars with the claim they were low-emission and environmentally friendly but it was discovered they had been rigged to cheat the emissions test. They have so far paid out $US15 billion in compensation and fines for violation of the Clean Air Act. Red Bull was sued in 2014 for its slogan “Red Bull gives you wings” The company paid out $US13 million including $10 to every USA citizen who had bought the drink since 2002. One of their consumers who brought the case against them said he had been a regular customer of Red Bull for 10 years but had not developed wings nor had he shown any signs of improved intellectual or physical abilities. Cigarette companies have been in all sorts of trouble over the years with false claims despite scientists and cigarette industry executives knowing of the risk of smoking since the 1940s. Camel cigarettes claimed that doctors preferred the brand and showed actors dressed as doctors puffing on cigarettes between house calls. TRUE cigarettes claimed that users of their product would avoid the health risks associated

with smoking. Lucky Strike claimed their cigarettes were an appetite suppressant for women. And Philip Morris claimed their cigarettes were scientifically proven to be less irritating to the nose and throat which was of course, untrue. Nissan got into big trouble showing their Nissan Frontier pushing a dune buggy uphill. A feat the truck is unable to do in real life. In 2010, Kellogg’s found themselves in deep do-do after claiming that their Rice Krispies could boost your immune system. This was proven to be misleading and they had to halt all advertising. The case was settled in 2011, costing Kellogg’s $US5 million. But they didn’t learn a lesson by it. Only two years later in 2013 they claimed that Mini-Wheats could make you smarter and that a child’s focus could be improved by nearly 20 per cent. Consumers were allowed to claim back up to $US15, costing the company millions. And would you believe it. Just as I finished writing this article I have received an email from a company called Voltex. The heading in the subject line is “A secret way to cut your electricity bill” No thanks. I still have the scissors from last time.

If so, you could be experiencing anxiety. Anxiety feels different for everyone. Some people experience the feeling of butterflies in their stomach and a racing heart. For some, they feel completely overwhelmed with fear and worry and experience periods of dizziness and shortness of breath. Anxiety can be a very normal reaction to stressful situations, such as taking a test or speaking in public. However, when anxious symptoms begin to feel overwhelming and interfere with day to day life, you may be experiencing an anxiety disorder.

in our environment, and our brain chemistry. The good news is that anxiety is a very treatable condition and you do not need tosuffer! For some people, making lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise, can make all the difference. For others, they may need to seek professional help, such as seeing a counsellor or psychologist. There are also medication options available. Talk to your GP or a local mental health support service, such as ChangeAbility, if you would like support.

Grace Prior Down a quiet coastal road and through a valley lies one of New Zealand’s restored Maori heritage sites. In a joint effort among landowners, forestry company Farman Turkington, Heritage New Zealand, archaeologists, and iwi, one of Wairarapa’s most significant sites has been restored. The area of Makotukutuku Stream near Palliser Bay had housed some of New Zealand’s earliest settlers, with a village along the ridges of the hills, a pa [hillfort] site, and gardens below – known as the cross site. Farman Turkington environmental and geographic information system co-ordinator Josh Blazek said parts of the area had been under threat from a strand of pine trees, originally planted to stabilise land adjacent to the cross site. “With the harvesting of nearby trees opening the pines up to wind loading, the time had come where decisions needed to be had on whether they would be left to take their natural course or be removed,” he said. Blazek said leaving the trees in place would have threatened the historical sites below if the trees fell during high winds, because the ground would be ripped. Archaeologist Foss Leach first surveyed the site in 1969, spending three years uncovering the archaeological history of the settlement site. “Palliser Bay was occupied at just about the earliest time in New

which included time and resources donated by Tim Williams at Wairarapa Helicopters pulling out the tree slash with a slash grapple that is the ﬁrst of its kind. Landowners Donald McAlraith and Pru Lilgurn’s family have been farming the area since the 1800s, mostly in sheep and beef but recently converting to forestry. Lilgurn said they wanted to do the right thing for the site and were happy to half-fund the project with Farman Turkington. Leach said the features of the site that remained were a “wonderful gift from the past”. “We wouldn’t have known that anything was here but for the fact that we were up on the terrace above which was where there was a village. There were lots of terraces along that ridge where houses were.”

Zealand. There were other places that were settled about the same time, but we are terribly fortunate to know a great deal about the earliest people that were living along this coast,” he said. Leach said that many of the valleys along Palliser Bay were similar, but none had been explored anywhere near as much as this one. The area in the valley has signiﬁcant sites scattered all over, including the cross site that has just been restored, a house site with a store pit that the whare [house] at Te Papa is based on, and a pa site with a stone wall. “Also scattered around this area here are mounds, the excavation of these mounds show that people were using it as their garden area,” Leach said. He said kumara, taro, and gourds were grown in the mounds above ground level to keep heat in the soil, because they are tropical vegetables. The mound would have a matai post in the middle for gourd vines to grow up, Leach said. When excavated, one of the mounds was dated at about 650 years old.

Haami Te Whaiti, representing Kahungunu ki Wairarapa and Rangitane o Wairarapa said that iwi had a strong attachment to the area. “There was a sense of sadness that these trees were still here, and we didn’t know how to deal with them. We are so appreciative of what has been done, there have been sacriﬁces to do this,” he said. Te Whaiti said they had built a whare based on the site using traditional methods – it has been on display at Te Papa since 1999. He said it was what housed the people who lived there, the people whom Leach said were likely to be direct ancestors of those who have whakapapa to the area. Leach said the initial carbon dating wasn’t accurate as they would had liked, but with the emerging technology of accelerated carbon dating and one tiny hinau seed, they managed to date the burnt-down whare to the cusp of the 19th century. He said this had been his ﬁrst time working on a site that dated into the 19th century.

This was also the ﬁrst time Blazek had worked with an archaeological site. He and his team of Clearwood contractors were determined to leave the ground on the site undisturbed. Blazek said it took a lot of technical logging and care from the team - planning right down to the order that they felled trees to protect the site. He said it took six days of work to get the job done,

The current financial outlook for this season is looking reasonably positive, but with the results of recent GDT auctions still moving around you’ll need to forecast carefully. Financial plans should be reviewed regularly, as any new information comes to hand. This will enable you to gain a good appreciation of any impact of movement in the expected payout, what that might mean to the expected financial result at the end of the year and what opportunities there are to meet an increase in expenditure during the initial part of the season. Wherever possible maintain expenditure on items that are going to maintain or improve production, but be mindful of the financial benefits of any costs that are incurred. You don’t want to be spending a dollar if it is not going to generate in excess of a dollar at some stage during the season. With that in mind re-calculate what the expected overdraft peak will be during the spring and make sure you’ve discussed this with your bank manager – they need to be aware of what your expenditure plan is. The DairyNZ website has some good financial planning tools. Have a look at Budgeting tools DairyNZ - there is likely to be a template available that will be helpful.

It’s a priceless object no matter what its origin

Wai Write

Keith Allen Each evening Valerie greeted her husband Derek when he arrived home, dressed and looking as if they were going to dine out. The dress was fashionable, her makeup had been discreetly applied and her long flowing auburn hair hung gracefully over her shoulders. Everything about her shouted, “Welcome home”. None of this was pretending or for show but expressed genuine feelings which existed almost from the time they first met But on one warm spring evening Derek arrived home to a different scene, He entered the back door. “I am home honey.” There was no response. It was not until he reached the dining room did he realise that something was seriously wrong. There she sat, elbows on the table, head in her hands and quietly

sobbing. She looked as if she had been dragged through a wringer backwards. There was no sign that their evening meal had been cooked or was cooking For a few moments

Derek stood in silence then moved slowly towards her and put his arm around her. “What’s up dear?” Slowly, between sobs she managed to say that she had spent the day,

expect the past hour, doing the gardening and cleaning and tidying the house. “Since then I have been looking for my wedding ring: in the garden, in the waste bins and in every

nook and cranny in the house to find it but to no avail.” “Oh! that piece of plastic junk which we got out of a Weetbix box. Don’t you remember when our family and friends admired it and said it must have cost, an arm and a leg we both found it difficult not to burst into laughter?” “To me it is not a piece of junk. It is a symbol that we love each other and that no one can come between us. “It reminds us of all that we have shared together and will remain so as we journey towards an uncertain future.” Such an experience has no monetary value. It is priceless. • Keith Allen is a member of the Blairlogie writers group. • They meet on the fourth Friday of each month except December.

Traditional foes to meet in cup final

Greytown and Carterton prevail in the mud to set up an intriguing Chris ‘Moose’ Kapene Memorial Cup final. Times-Age sportswriter CHRIS COGDALE wraps up Saturday’s semifinal action.

Sport

CARTERTON GLADSTONE

27 10

Two tries in the first 15 minutes set the platform for an outstanding Carterton victory in atrocious conditions in Carterton. Playing with the persistent wind in the first half, the home side made the early running with a penalty to Sam Morison, followed by a try to winger Fiula Tameilau, who ran on to a lovely offload from Inia Katia to dot down. Tameilau was back in the action again three minutes later when his scything run was halted short of the line, only for captain and halfback Daryl Pickering to crash over from an ensuing ruck for a 15-0 lead. It wasn’t until the second quarter that Gladstone spent a sustained period on attack, but they couldn’t penetrate the stubborn Carterton defence, with their only points coming

from a Jeremy Osborne penalty. Despite playing into an ever-increasing wind in the second half, the home side weren’t afraid to chance their arm, a tactic which paid off, with their final two tries long range efforts. The first came after Carterton stole a Gladstone lineout throw, and winger Aseri Waqa ran from his own 10m line and passed to centre Aisea Sakopo, who was stopped short of the line. From the ensuring 5m scrum, flanker Gus McKinnon passed to Tameilau for an easy try. The second was a 95m solo effort to Sakopo after the Carterton forwards forced a turnover on defence. The home side spent the last 15 minutes with 14 men after replacement prop Hone Vella was sent off for elbowing a Gladstone player in the head. Gladstone did finally cross the line through Tim

Griffith, but it was too little too late. Pickering praised the effort of his talented side in trying conditions. “Coming into this we said we were going to continue to play, and you could see that, and we scored a length-of-the-field try,” he said. “The weather halted that a bit, but the defence was massive again this week.” Pickering saidt the fast start proved crucial in the end. “We had the wind behind us and needed to play at the right end of the field and I’m just glad we came away with some points in that first half. “Gladstone always find a way to get to a semifinal and we were worried coming here today, we knew they would be a different side than a few weeks ago, and they always seem to pop up at the right end of the season, and I’m just pleased we got things done.”

GREYTOWN EAST COAST

17 5

All the points came in the first half in a tough semifinal played in ever worsening conditions at Greytown. Tries to halfback Sam Walton-Sexton and veteran loose forward Tana Isaac, both converted by Moomoo Falaniko, who also kicked a penalty, gave the home side a 17-0 lead playing with the wind in the first half. The visitors scored close to halftime, after a series of phases close to the line, but that was as good as it got in conditions described by Greytown assistant coach Paul Pottinger as tough true winter conditions. “At one stage the rain was that heavy it was hard to see the far end of the field, it was just torrential,” he said. “Both teams played pretty well in the conditions and there weren’t that many

mistakes which was testament to both teams.” Pottinger felt that Greytown had control for most of the game, but the conditions made it hard to finish off moves. Prop Lewis Bush and flanker Blane Kete stood out for the victors. The win keeps Greytown’s prospects of a rare unbeaten season

SENIOR RESERVES

Tuhirangi and Masterton Red Star will meet in the Ryan Cup final. Tuhirangi went out to a 12-0 first half lead over Puketoi and had to call on

all their defence to hold on for a 12-10 victory. Masterton Red Star pulled away in the second half to beat Carterton 24-5, with two outstanding long range tries in the mud to fullback David Siloi. In the President’s Cup, East Coast easily beat Marist 31-7 to set up a final against Gladstone, who thrashed Greytown 42-5.
