Carterton’s moving portraits Theo Gerritsen A talking portrait sounds like a fantasy scene straight out of Harry Potter or a 19th-century gothic horror novel — not something you’d find in little old Carterton. This weekend, Carterton Events Centre will host the debut screening of Aotearoa Moving Portraits — a videography series capturing some of the most animated, diverse, and intriguing characters of Wairarapa. The screening, part of Ka Pai Carterton’s Matariki programme, will feature a collection of interviews with some of the district’s best-known personalities: sharing stories of environmental and social activism, mental health, family history, and connection with the land — plus a few “local legends”. Aotearoa Moving Portraits was the brainchild of filmmaker Sean Woollgar, who has spent the past year filming his first seven subjects — displayed in the style of an artistic portrait, reminiscent of the iconic paintings of C F Goldie and Gottfried Lindauer.

Woollgar chose Carterton as the home base for the early stages of his project because of the colourful assortment of individuals he knew lived there. Eventually, he hopes to take the project on the road — creating many more portraits and displaying them at museums, art galleries

and community centres throughout Aotearoa. Woollgar said the idea came about after his partner, whom he met in the UK, told him countless stories about her nana, Lorna, who grew up in New Zealand during World War II. “I loved hearing these stories and asked if anyone had been

documenting them for the family as her nana was in her 90s,” Woollgar said. “She said they hadn’t, and I asked if I could do it.” Woolgar got to ﬁlm one interview with Lorna, before she died from a stroke a few months later. “I was deeply saddened by her death — but also

by the loss of all those stories which we didn’t manage to document. “I edited together a piece about her saying goodbye to her ﬁancé at Wellington Harbour as he left to join the war in Italy — which played at her memorial service. “Afterwards I had so many people come to me, saying I should

interview their nana, or their uncle, who all had amazing stories. This was my lightbulb moment and Aotearoa Moving Portraits was born. “I decided to start in Carterton — this is where I live, and I know there are fantastic stories from Continued on page 3

Help needed for creative space Isabella Cleary This weekend is the last chance for art lovers to visit Featherston’s Old Courthouse Art Gallery before it closes for the winter. After that, the gallery may not be able to reopen if additional help isn’t found in time for spring. The gallery was set up in the historic courthouse building on Fitzherbert Street in December by Featherston couple Thérèse Quinlivan and John Dennison, both artists themselves. It has since housed work from various local artists, mostly from South Wairarapa — sculptors, photographers, jewellers, woodworkers, and more. Quinlivan, a textile and felt artist, said the gallery had been a “marvellous outlet” for artists to showcase and sell their work. “We opened it because a lot of artists were complaining on Facebook that they had nowhere to sell their work. The pandemic meant that many exhibitions and markets

John Dennison and Thérèse Quinlivan, founders of The Old Courthouse Art Gallery, need some extra help to keep the space open. Inset: Book-inspired ÿ gurines by Featherston artist Olivera Milojevic - a feature of the gallery’s Booktown exhibition. PHOTOS/ISABELLA CLEARY

were cancelled.” So the gallery can stay open three days a week, Quinlivan and Dennison are in need of volunteers to help with front-of-house tasks and social media management. Quinlivan said it would “be a shame” if they couldn’t reopen the gallery in the spring — but the commitment and workload

was too much for her and Dennison to keep up with on a permanent basis. “I’m retired, but I’m not living like I’m retired!” she said. “We don’t mind doing it voluntarily, but we can’t do it all the time. “It’s such an important place to keep around. People put their heart and soul into their artwork, and

if there’s nowhere for it to go, it’s unappreciated.” Quinlivan said the gallery had fewer visitors than anticipated over the last six months, potentially due to people not knowing it was there.

“We haven’t had the numbers we were expecting, but with Booktown [this month], so many people turned up!” In honour of this year’s Featherston Booktown, the gallery hosted an exhibition of creations inspired by books or stories — including ﬁgurines made of book pages and a miniature replica of the wardrobe in the Chronicles of Narnia series. Freelance photographer and featured gallery artist Pete Monk said the space had been “a breath of fresh air” for Featherston. “A regular artistic vehicle for artists to showcase and sell their work has been missing from Featherston,” Monk said “We’re a body of artists, and it represents us and our work.” Monk said he hoped some extra pairs of helping hands would be found to reopen after the winter — as the gallery “serviced people whose talents would be otherwise hidden”. The gallery has connected many local

artists socially and has facilitated regular meetups. Acrylic artist Kimberlee Le Ceve said the gallery introduced her to many fellow creatives, and talking to others had encouraged her to exhibit her work. “Everyone thinks their work isn’t important, but talking to other artists gives you more confidence to display your stuff.” South Wairarapa Mayor Alex Beijen, who originally advised Quinlivan to pitch her idea for the gallery to the council, said providing an outlet for creative products was something he encouraged. “The community is better off for the initiative,” he said. • The Old Courthouse Art Gallery will be open for its final days this Friday, Saturday and Sunday (June 24 to 26) between 10am to 4pm. Many pieces of art will be discounted. If you are interested in volunteering at the gallery, contact Therese Quinlivan via email at featherstongallery@ gmail.com.

local people about the area and its history.” Woollgar believed it was important to capture and document stories “before they are lost, so they can be passed on to future generations”. “There is so much we can learn from other people’s stories, especially from our kaumātua and elders. We value [our elders’] legacy and Aotearoa Moving Portraits will commit that legacy to ﬁlm and, therefore, to posterity. “People

telling their stories is a pleasure to capture on ﬁlm. The way their faces light up, it’s a huge kick.” Not everything was smooth sailing for Woollgar, who said funding for the project was a constant struggle. “This is an enormous project and will require a huge amount of time to complete. “Ka Pai Carterton has been instrumental in coordinating shoots and ﬁnding the right people to interview.” Ka Pai Carterton community facilitator Cimone Grayson said Woollgar’s project will give locals more

insight into their community. “It’s all about getting to know your neighbours and the history of the place we call home,” Grayson said. Ka Pai Carterton had conducted a community survey in 2019, which pinned down the most prominent values among the town’s residents. “One of the several inspirations that our community selected was identity: what it means to belong to Carterton,” Grayson said. “We want to ﬁnd out about the people who live in this land, the

generational farmers, the mana whenua. “We are all ﬁercely proud of the town we live in and are keen to highlight some of the people who are here, and invite others to engage.” Grayson said that although the Carterton screening might not the feature moving portraits lining the walls of a gallery, it is still Woollgar’s goal to achieve this. The Carterton event will feature two portraits next to each other on a big screen — one will speak while the other awaits their turn to share with animated patience. One of Woollgar’s

subjects, Pat McLean, said he didn’t necessarily enjoy being thrust into the limelight — but was thankful for a platform to express his views on the local environment. “If they’re looking for interesting people in Carterton and they include me, then we really have a problem,” McLean laughed. “I enjoyed the opportunity to express my views on conservation.” • Aotearoa Moving Portraits will screen one time only at the Carterton Event Centre on Saturday, June 25, from 1.30pm to 2.30pm. Entry is free.

Gifted musos have what it takes Erin Kavanagh-Hall

erin.kavanagh-hall@age.co.nz

A 12-year-old beatboxer, a hand pan drummer, some heart-rending original love songs, energetic teen rockstars, and an epic drum solo — it’s official, Wairarapa’s got talent. Last weekend, I got to attend the grand final of the 2022 Straight Flush Talent Wairarapa competition, held at Carterton Events Centre — which, despite the weather, brought in a near sell-out crowd. Thirteen finalists performed across two categories (Under 14 and Over 14), enthralling the audience with everything from soulful ballads, to tap routines, to acoustic popfolk, to 90s-inspired punk rock. This was my second time attending a Talent Wairarapa Event (I volunteered as a judge for the auditions round back in 2019), but first time at the finale — and I was promised a “wonderful night out”. And it certainly didn’t disappoint: the calibre of the performances, professional stagecraft and electric atmosphere made for a winning combination and it was a joy to witness. Opening the show was Dave Marks, who showed off his skills on the hand pan (a hand-held drum, inspired by Asian and Caribbean steel percussion) — using the instrument to create various layers of sound and vibration. Hand pans, a popular feature on YouTube, are often used in meditative music — and Dave’s playing produced an effect that was simultaneously soothing and eerily haunting. Beautiful work. Up next was Henare Kerehi, who offered up a powerful rendition of “When We Were Young” by Adele. Apart from a few nervous cracks, Henare had incredible projection, annunciation and vocal

control — especially in the final crescendo — for someone so young. Bringing the energy up a notch was dancer and Talent Wairarapa veteran Ava Saba — who, looking like a genuine pop star in her gold sequined dress, treated the crowd to a lively and sassy modern jazz routine. Also wearing out the stage with fast-flying feet were the In Motion dance troupe: three charismatic young performers who made clever use of tap choreography, costumes, and props to tell a story of “going from busking to Broadway”. Joining them in the under 14 category was budding-singer songwriter Jack Brown, whose gorgeous original ballad “She’s Asking For It” — a heartfelt, folksy protest against sexual harassment, racial profiling and body shaming — brought the house down. A similarly rapturous

response was reserved for Maceo Field — an unassuming intermediate school pupil, whose blend of beatboxing, loop pedalling and spitfire rap skills kept the audience transfixed. Rounding out the under 14 category was Olivia Church and her sincere take on Pink’s Top 10 hit “All I Know So Far”. Olivia was a little hesitant in her performance — that will improve with time — but had a lovely tone and clearly emoted the empowering message of the song. Opening up the second act was Charlie Matthews, another Talent Wairarapa regular — who showcased his original tune “Invincible”, winning praise from the judging panel for his mature lyrics and complex chord progressions. Also sharing his songwriting chops was Jack Moser, whose smoky vocals and masterful keyboard

playing lent themselves well to a mournful tale of unrequited love. One of my personal favourites was pianist and vocalist Kolya Marks, who infused his cover of Rufus Wainwright’s “Going To A Town” — a blistering commentary on US social politics — with passion and biting sarcasm. Kolya had a beautiful natural break in his voice and brought emotion to every touch of the keys — so it would be a treat to hear him play his own music. Turning up the volume were Wairarapa College bands Dragonfly and Captivated, who commanded attention with their on-stage chemistry and high-octane original songs “What You Meant” and “Control”. A special shout-out has to go to Dragonfly frontwoman Katie Harris, whose sultry vocals and swagger were reminiscent of a young Gwen Stefani,

and Captivated bassist Nikhil Satya, who was every inch the showman! Finishing the show with a bang was drummer Coby Nielsen, who took the audience on a journey through his musical evolution — from the Masterton District Brass Band to punk rock virtuoso. The winners were announced soon afterwards: Maceo emerging victorious among the Under 14s (with Henare and Jack Brown as runners-up) and Captivated taking home Henare Kerehi gave an impassioned performance.

Big props have to go to Carterton Rotary (and various sponsors) for all their work behind the scenes. It’s a tricky time for event management, with covid still doing the rounds — and I understand contestant numbers were down this year, due to illness. Nevertheless, Rotary pulled out the stops to create a slicklyproduced, seamlesslyorganised showcase — without sacrificing the relaxed and supportive atmosphere Wairarapa is known for. Of course, it would have been great to see a bigger variety of age groups represented on stage. But no matter — our young people work so hard at their craft, and they deserve their place in the spotlight. Congratulations to all the contestants — it takes tremendous courage to perform for an audience, and you all, as the young people would say, “absolutely smashed it”. Keep doing what you love!

Doors slide open for disabled community Helen Holt

New automatic doors at Trust House Recreation Centre. PHOTO/HELEN HOLT

The Trust House Recreation Centre is now more accessible to the disabled community after three years of advocacy and planning. Automatic doors were installed last week at the recreation centre on Masterton’s Dixon St, replacing push-pull doors which had posed problems for people with mobility issues. People First Wairarapa president Peter Knighton said he was relieved that the automatic doors were ﬁnally installed. “We approached the council a while ago — we needed to make the centre

more accessible. It’s great to see they’ve actually done it,” Knighton said. “The issue with the other doors was that for people in a wheelchair or walker, it was impossible to open them. The doors were very heavy. “It was also hard for people pushing prams to get in and out.” He said it was a human right for disabled people to be able to access indoor and outdoor facilities, and the previous doors did not honour that. Knighton and People First Wairarapa vice president Millie Ogg presented to Masterton

District Council in 2020, advocating for automatic doors to be installed at the recreation centre. In August last year, the council said it had started preparing for the installation of automatic sliding doors at the facility, hoping for them to be ﬁnished in December. The plans included two automatic sliding doors, one in the main entrance of the building, and the other replacing the wooden double doors separating the foyer from the main pool hall. The council said the work was delayed due to a combination of staﬀ and

contractor availability and the impact of covid-19. Council community facilities and activities manager Corin Haines said while there had been a delay in completing the work, he was delighted the doors were now in place. “We believe this signiﬁcantly increases accessibility to this great community asset. “As part of the project, we shared designs with CCS Disability Action and thank [rural infrastructure design specialists] Ordish and Stevens for their work to lead the design and implementation of the doors.”

Years of service and fun times Congratulations to Valda Briasco (left), Norma Pauling and Judith Allen — who all received Life Membership awards at Maungaraki Probus Club’s 30th anniversary celebration, held earlier this month. Club president Sally Tunley said Valda and Norma are both founding members of the

organisation — known for dedication and for “hardly ever missing a monthly meeting”. Judith has been a club member for 21 years, serving as a committee member — including twice as president — and organising the club’s various trips around the Wellington region and craft afternoons.

Sally said the club, which celebrated its anniversary with a luncheon at Club Wairarapa, is “all about “fellowship, friendship, and fun in retirement”, and provides “the opportunity for active members to meet like-minded people”. The club meets on the ﬁrst Wednesday of every month at 10am at the Masterton Club.

Two decades for Masterton gem

Eva de Jong

Last week, the Wairarapa Community Centre celebrated 20 years of service — with a birthday bash at its Perry Street premises. In honour of the occasion, 30 staff and guests enjoyed a threecourse luncheon — cooked by volunteers from the centre’s Community Kitchen, with table service from members of the Masterton Holdsworth Lions Club. The Community Centre had its official opening on June 14, 2002 — then based at the old button factory building on Dixon Street. The centre relocated to its current premises in 2012 — and is now home to a range of community organisations — counsellors, budgeting advisors, adult learning providers, and disability support services, to name a few. Centre manager Beverley Jack said the Community Centre had been challenged by financial instability in recent years — with securing funding for the Perry Street building proving particularly difficult. “We are running on the

smell of an oily rag.” The centre oﬀers low rent to its tenant organisations, such as the Wairarapa Women’s Centre, Connecting Communities, and Autism NZ. “We’ve noticed in the past that when we put our rents up it puts ﬁnancial pressure on our organisations — and it dissolves their services.” Jack said the centre has evolved over time to meet the changing needs of the community.

“In the early days, the centre was supporting the community over the closure of the Wairoa freezing works, which increased unemployment and crime rate. “Now housing issues, the high cost of food, and low incomes are making more of an impact.” Jack has also observed a higher number of people trying to access mental health services. “We are now seeing our community suﬀering more with anxiety, and there

has been a high demand for counselling services. This is all very new to us.” To address food insecurity, Jack partnered with Wai Waste and the Masterton Food Bank to establish the Wairarapa Community Kitchen — which prepares hundreds of ready-to-heat meals each week to families in need. The menu for the centre’s anniversary luncheon — vegetable and lentil soup, vegan curry, and apple crumble —

was designed around food recovery, with Wai Waste providing all the ingredients. Masterton District Councillor Gary Caﬀell, who attended the anniversary event, said he was impressed the centre was “still going strong” after 20 years. “They are one of those unsung heroes — a lot of their work goes under the radar.” Caﬀell, a former chairman of Wairarapa Community Centre Trust,

said ﬁnding funding for its premises had always been diﬃcult. Nevertheless, the building plays an important role in the community. “Without the Community Centre, those organisations would be looking for buildings to operate from and the price would be outside of their budget.” “It’s a real gem.” • Additional reporting by Erin KavanaghHall

Local youth thriving on the job Jade Davies

Looking for work can be challenging — but a local initiative is making it easier for young people to ﬁnd sustainable employment in Wairarapa. The Youth2Work programme, which had its second birthday this month, focused on local youth, many of whom were from Carterton. The programme was managed by REAP Wairarapa and funded through the Mayors Taskforce for Jobs and Carterton District Council. Additional funding gained during the pandemic was used to match more young people with jobs in the area. Youth2Work Wairarapa youth manager Jenny Gasson said the programme worked with youth to become “workready”: for example, supporting them to develop their CVs, build interviewing skills, and connect with employers and training providers. Gasson said the initiative provided oneto-one support and “really looked into young people’s interests”. She said many young people were unsure about choosing a career path — and the programme not only helped youth ﬁnd

work that suited them, but also provided pastoral support to help them stay in work. “It’s not just about finding a job,” Gasson said. “It’s about the person looking for work — and how can we help them delve into what they’d like to do.” The Youth2Work programme’s goal of facilitating 50 youth into work from June 2021 to June 2022 was almost met: with Gasson confirming 48 young people had found employment in the last 12 months. Since the programme started in 2020, 118 youth have found work. However, Gasson said the total figure would be much higher as, during the pandemic, Youth2Work staff noticed it was not just young people looking for employment. “Our focus is on rangatahi looking for full-time work, but we will assist anyone of any age into the right pathways of employment support.” Gasson said Youth2Work’s target audience was between 18 and 24, but it had worked with people from “16 to 68 years old”. Gasson said young people had found work across various industries

Ryker Opie found employment at Repco Masterton through the Youth2Work programme.

— from wood processing, to hospitality, to marketing and communications. The team worked closely with large local employers, such as Juken New Zealand Timber Mill and Tranzit Group, as well as smaller businesses. Gasson said there was a focus on primary industries, with ﬁeld days organised to give job seekers insight into

working on farms. Gasson said participants would visit beef, dairy, and sheep-milking farms in Carterton to “get a real feel for what it’s all about”. Youth2Work participant Ryker Opie, 18, said he had been enjoying three months of full-time employment at Repco in Masterton. He said he had learned a lot about customer service

and communication in his time there — and preferred it to the classroom. Opie said Youth2Work’s help with his CV had been invaluable. Repco Masterton manager Brian Krivan said the business could be complicated, dealing with two types of customers — retail and trade. But despite the somewhat steep learning

curve, he said it had been a successful move employing Opie. “He’s deﬁnitely growing into the role.” • For more information, go to www.youth2work. nz, or email info@ youth2work.nz. — Additional reporting by Mary Argue

We understand that closing for Public Holidays is a bit unusual but we’re sure our staff are going to be grateful for the day off. It may also seem a bit inconvenient for some customers but there is still plenty of time to

Stock up on Garden supplies It will be great having an extra day to garden, here’s a few things to keep you busy over the long weekend.

VAPORGARD a ‘Liquid’ Frost cloth

Prune fruit trees on a dry day to reduce the spread of fungal and bacterial spores. Protect large cuts with pruning paste. Follow up with a cleanup spray of Grosafe Free Flo Copper + Mineral Oil for control of fungal disease and insects.

Most gardeners keep an eye on the weather forecast, or know the signs of a looming frost, but there will always be times when Jack Frost sneaks in unannounced and you haven’t been able to cover your plants with cloth. The damage can be minimized if you have sprayed them with Vaporgard. Vaporgard is an organic product that puts a long lasting protection film over the foliage. It can protect against temperatures down to -3 degrees. In areas where you have harder frosts than 3 degrees you will still need the extra protection such as the traditional frost cloth, combine the two together and you will have increased protection.

For more information on pruning call in and pick up an information brochure

FEED THE BIRDS Set up a feeding station this winter. You can help supplement birds diets this winter by setting up a safe place for them to feed. It can take awhile for them to get used to coming in to feed, so don’t be put off if it doesn’t happen immediately.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

If you have fruit trees that are prone to leaf curl (pictured) then you need to spray with a combination of spraying oil and copper while they are still dormant. WHEN YOU NOTICE THE PROBLEM ON NEW FOLIAGE IN SPRING IT’S TOO LATE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT

It’s very important to choose a place in the garden that is safe – if possible set traps to ensure there are no predators such as rats, and have the feeding station high enough that cats can’t jump up. Make sure you clean the feeders regularly so there is no risk of spreading disease.

PLANT STRAWBERRIES

Cherry trees such as this ‘Prunus Mt Fuji’ are a favourite for home gardens

PLANT TREES NOW When deciduous trees shed their leaves and go into hibernation each winter it creates the perfect planting conditions. Transplanting is less stressful while they are dormant, there’s plenty of water and they begin establishing a strong root system before the harshness of summer hits. It’s still a bit early for our full supply of deciduous trees to arrive but it’s a good time to prepare the planting holes by adding in products filled with essential nutrients & minerals. Gypsum & ican Planting Mix are two options but we have much more in store - ask our friendly team for advice.

Plan ahead and decide what you want to plant with our Deciduous Tree List. Pick up a copy instore or head to our website www.gardenbarn.co.nz

OPEN 7 DAYS 8.30AM - 5.30PM

Strawberries are easy to grow and don’t need a lot of maintenance, making them a great choice of edible for kids to grow and look after. They look attractive as well, so you could have loads of them growing in the garden or fill as many pots or hanging baskets as you can fit – you can never have too many strawberries!

Roses are deciduous – they go into dormancy in winter, which basically means they shed their leaves and go into rest mode. The timing of this can be weather dependent – if the weather is mild it may be delayed. Although a short winter sounds good for us, the longer it takes the plant to shut down for winter, the shorter the resting time. Having a dormant period every year boosts their health and you will be rewarded with strong healthy plants that find it easier to fight pests and diseases. Grosafe Lime Suphur encourages defoliation of trees.

Give your strawberry plants some protection from the damp ground by adding a layer of straw. Add a layer of Tui Strawberry Straw around the plants (avoid touching the stems) so that the leaves and fruit have a clean, dry place to lay on rather than a dirty wet ground that could encourage fungus. Covering your plants with netting or a cloche can help prevent problems with birds and unwanted bugs.

We have a wonderful selection of pots for indoors and out

House plants are a great way to enjoy plants during the cold months

Saint Patrick’s School house leaders Roman (left), Lucas, Locke and Iona say they are “stoked” with their new playground mural created from recycled bottle caps. PHOTO/THEO GERRITSEN

Recycled masterpiece Isabella Cleary Students at Saint Patrick’s School have unveiled their latest colourful onsite mural — created from diﬀerent types of plastic bottle caps. The mural, which took close to a year to complete, symbolises the four houses within the school, named after Māori guardians — Papatūānuku, Tāne Mahuta, Tangaroa and Ranginui. Masterton-based artist Katie Gracie, who has worked with St Patrick’s pupils on several other art installations on the school grounds, said the children provided the bottle caps

for the mural, and learnt to use a drill to attach them. When planning the project, Gracie said she had wanted to do something diﬀerent from the school’s previous murals. “The bottle caps add a great textural element, and are more dimensional then the other painted murals,” she said. “Once I had a concept planned, the next task was collecting bottle caps — which took a while.” Saint Patrick’s is an Enviroschool — and collecting the bottle caps had given students a good lesson in recycling and reusing.

Student house leader Lucas said the bottle caps came from “a huge range” of supermarket items. “There were lots of diﬀerent milks, spice jars, coke bottles, pill bottles, juice and yoghurt containers,” he said. Some bottle caps proved easier to get hands on then others. Brown and cream coloured bottle caps especially were few and far between. Teacher Penny Thomson said the school had “some dedicated parents drinking chocolate milk”, which helped supply the brown bottle caps needed for the trunk of the tree. Thomson said the

mural had been a great way to unite the school community — with children from all year groups “working together and helping each other”. “We had the constant background noise of a drill in the classroom for a while! “All the kids contributed and everyone had a go with the drill — even if it meant you’d hold it in place for someone to help.” After almost a year of hard work, the students can admire their creation on the wall in the school playground — where it will be for years to come.

Masterton mystery nurse Masterton woman Maxine Hemi supplied this lovely photo, taken circa 1966, which she recently discovered among her late mother’s possessions. Maxine is pictured as an excited toddler, watching a Guy Fawkes display from the balcony of the old Masterton Hospital ward block (currently being demolished). The nurse holding her worked on the ward at the time. Maxine wonders who this kindly nurse was — and shared this photo with Midweek hoping someone in the community would know. If you know who the woman in the picture is, please contact Maxine via email at hemi@gmail.com.

12 Wairarapa Midweek Opinion Wednesday, June 22, 2022 EDITORIAL

Leaving language bullying behind Young(ish), scrappy & hungry

Opinion

Erin Kavanagh-Hall I need to come clean, Wairarapa — I’ve been a language bully. Let me explain. The term was coined by US political magazine Slate in 2013 — referring to someone excessively concerned with “proper” written English. And isn’t afraid to let others know when they’ve deviated from the path. Language bullies are usually found on social media — correcting every misplaced apostrophe, overused adverb and malapropism that crosses their path. We’ve all seen it: someone makes an inflammatory, politically incorrect statement on a Facebook news page, and someone else responds by taking a metaphorical red pen to their spelling and grammatical errors (“You want fewer immigrants, mate — not less!”). Ms Grammar Snob gets a flurry of “likes”, Mr No

More Open Borders gets progressively feistier, and the original debate remains unresolved. Yup — I’ve been Ms Grammar more times than I care to count. There’s nothing wrong with having a passion for correct English. There are situations where poorly rendered sentences can undermine one’s message. Hence, we pay copy editors and software coders to weed out our language fails. There is, however, far less riding on your average Facebook exchange than on a best-selling novel. So, why all the grammar shaming? Exploring the phenomenon in a 2020 article, Guardian journalist Poppy Noor theorised that language bullying is a “power play”. The language bully takes objection to a person’s argument and attempts to gain the upper

hand by exposing chinks in their armour [i.e their poor language skills]. They “win”, not by addressing the substance of the other person’s statement, but resorting to belittlement and humiliation. For the Slate article, writer Matthew Malady interviewed Stamford University psychology professor Benoit Moran — who put it down to fragile egos. “The way we evaluate our competence is relative to other people. If I need to feel good about [myself], one way I could do that…is give myself evidence that other people’s language skills suck.” Thrilling though it is to “checkmate” an opponent with our unimpeachable vocabulary, it’s as problematic and meanspirited as the comments we’re objecting to. To correct language errors during an argument is a kind of “gotcha” moment — implying the other person is less intelligent. But there are, in fact, many reasons people struggle to express

themselves in writing. They may not have had access to “quality” education. They may have learning difficulties. English may not be their first language (and, let’s face it, English is weird). Yes, some opinions are

PHOTO/STOCK.ADOBE.COM

offensive — but minds aren’t likely to be changed by classism, ableism, and xenophobia. Sometimes, people make errors because, well, they’re human. Cognitive psychologist Maryellen MacDonald spoke on this in an interview with the

Washington Post. Words with similar sounds and spellings, she said, are grouped together within the brain. We may logically know the difference between “their”, “they’re”, and “there” — but the brain doesn’t always distinguish between them, especially when we’re writing at speed. As WaPo writer Andrew Heisel put it, mocking someone for a misspelt word “is like mocking the heart for skipping a beat.” If you think you may be a language bully — I understand. Objectionable online comments are like Goombas in the Super Mario universe — it hurts to bump into one and playing Grammar Police can be a fun way to blow it up. But I’ve found stepping away from my phone is better for the old blood pressure. And so, I resolve to leave Ms Grammar Snob behind. People will always be, to quote the meme, Wrong On The Internet. Don’t let them ruin your day.

14 Wairarapa Midweek Extra Wednesday, June 22, 2022 ARATOI VOICES

Newest interns learn the ropes Every Friday for the 10 weeks of this school term, a group of students from Wairarapa College are visiting Aratoi to learn about and experience what it is like to work in a museum and to develop an exhibition. You could say they are our newest interns. These teens are a resource we don’t often have access to, and our educators are keen to learn as much from them as they will from us. The main goal of Aratoi’s education team is to engage

our young people and to connect them with the heritage of our region. And through our new Art Ambassadors programme, the young people involved will have a chance to see themselves and their stories represented within our exhibitions. So far, a clear highlight of the programme has been taking the students backstage into our collection store to view and learn about the artworks and taonga in our collection.

Conservator Vicki-Anne Heikell talks with Wairarapa students as part of Aratoi’s Art Ambassadors’ programme. PHOTO/SUPPLIED

Another highlight for the students was meeting and talking with one of Aotearoa’s leading Māori paper conservators, VickiAnne Heikell, from the Alexander Turnbull Library in Wellington.

Not many teens see themselves working in the field of conservation, but meeting and talking to people who work within this industry gives the group a chance to consider different career paths. Most

of our staff at Aratoi and many other people working to preserve and provide access to our cultural heritage, found their calling through unusual circumstances. The students learnt that if they do choose to pursue their interest in objects and history, opportunities do come up that can lead to exciting and creative career prospects. As part to the Art Ambassadors’ programme, the girls have been collaborating with our staff to create the first youthselected exhibition, we have had at Aratoi. Make sure you visit us during the July school holidays to view this special exhibition in our gallery foyer.

A CLIMATE FOR CHANGE

Let’s reclaim our right to repair rather than replace Anne Nelson Many of you will have heard about the ‘three Rs’ of reducing waste: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. In addition to these, there are a few more ‘Rs’ that sit alongside ‘Reuse’ – such as Repair, Rebuild, Refurbish and Refinish. You probably all know how expensive and difficult it can be to get goods repaired. Many just aren’t designed to be fixed - or are deliberately made nonrepairable with sealed-off components and nonstandard screws inside. Some are even built to malfunction or break after a period of time, so you’re forced to fork out for a replacement (this is called ‘planned obsolescence’). Some manufacturers won’t supply spare parts or repair manuals. And some goods are constructed from such low-quality components that there’s no point. All goods we buy new have a carbon footprint - from the extraction and transport of raw materials to manufacturing, packaging and transportation to sale. If you imagine the massive volume of goods consumed

The repair movement is also about sustainable design, where some products are intentionally easy to repair and to disassemble at the end of their lives (so the components can be made into new stuff ). PHOTO/SUPPLIED

in the world today, it’s easy to see how slowing down the supply chain is a very effective climate action. And this also helps reduce environmental damage from mining and production, and the massive waste problem we have in the world. ‘Right to Repair’ is a global movement by consumers who are reclaiming their right to buy durable products that can be easily repaired. It asks governments to hold producers and retailers responsible for the lifecycle costs of the products they put into the market. In a growing number of

countries, laws are being brought in to ensure that products sold meet basic standards of durability and repairability. Producers are required to offer spare parts and repair services - and cannot opt out of this with disclaimers. US President Joe Biden has initiated right to repair legislation, the Australian government is requiring car companies to share resources with independent garages, and appliance manufacturers in Britain now have to supply spare parts. The repair movement is also about sustainable design, where some

products are intentionally easy to repair and to disassemble at the end of their lives (so the components can be made into new stuff). ‘Fairphone’ is a great example - it’s a smartphone that is designed to be long lasting and easily repairable. It is made from materials responsibly sourced, as well as recycled materials. And it is electronic-waste neutral. The repair movement has a local component, too. In this fast, busy world we live in, there are few things more grounding and satisfying than spending time fixing something.

Community repair events – often called ‘Repair cafes’ – are popping up all around the motu. People go along to learn skills from volunteers, such as how to darn or hem clothing, sharpen scissors or a spade, or do some bike maintenance. They might get help with something that needs a carpentry, metal or electrical repair. Most of us would rather get an item repaired than throw it out and buy a new one. So, what can you do? Write to the Minister for the Environment, David Parker, and tell him we need right to repair legislation here in Aotearoa. ‘Buy less and buy better.’ If you’re buying new, choose a quality brand rather than a cheap one. If that’s unaffordable, consider buying a quality item second hand or sharing the cost and use of tools and appliances with friends and family. Learn (or relearn) a repair skill, such as mending, woodwork or sharpening. The Men’s Shed is a great place for this, as are repair cafes and community craft groups.

Plea contradicts confession Robert Douglas was already serving a life sentence when he confessed to an unsolved death at Mikimiki. MARK PACEY of the Wairarapa Archive delves into some of the murderous events of Wairarapa’s dark past.

Robert Douglas was sentenced to life in prison for an assault in Opaki in 1898 and was sent to Lyttelton Gaol to serve his sentence. Douglas has been living in the Opaki area and he was a suspect in another death, but nothing was ever proven to link him to that case. In 1898, the same year as Robert’s crime that got him imprisoned, Susannah Pain was found dead in mysterious circumstances. No one was ever tied to her death, and it was put down to an accident. Then, three years later, Douglas made a confession. Speaking to the warden, he said he was the one responsible for the death of

Mikimiki Stream.

Mrs Pain. This was relayed to the higher authorities and Sergeant O’Mally made his way to Wellington to arrange a trial. A date was set for August 12, 1901, which allowed time for witnesses to be brought to Wellington to attend. Douglas had previously stated that he was the last one to see Pain alive. She had gone out rabbiting with her two dogs, which she did regularly, but the dogs had returned without her. A search was made in which Douglas was a member, and Mrs Pain’s body was discovered down by a creek, her slipper was found further up the bank. It was originally thought that Pain had had a ﬁt and fallen down the bank, striking her head on a rock, losing her slipper in

the process. She had been prone to having ﬁts, after which she needed rest. Her death was believed to have been a horrible accident. But with Douglas’s confession, that changed. The day of the trial came around and Douglas was called forward to make his plea. For someone that had made such a convincing confession of his crimes while in prison, his reply came as a bit of a shock. “Not guilty”. The details of the case were brought up again and several members of the search party and Pain’s husband were called upon to make their statements. The location of the body, the slipper and the wounds were all still possible to have been caused by Pain having a ﬁt and falling

down the hill, at the bottom of which was a pond surrounded by rocks. Douglas’ confession just wasn’t stacking up. The court then looked upon his character and called in wardens from the Lyttelton Gaol to tell the court what kind of person he was. “He was mentally weak; he was very irritable. On one occasion it took two or three wardens to put the prisoner into his cell.” Douglas’s lawyer then made a closing statement that put the case into perspective. Describing “the prisoner’s confession as the hysterical accusation of one in whom hope was dead, and who desired any change, even though it might only be from the gaol to the lunatic asylum.” He then said that the details of

the case still pointed to an accidental death and that Douglas, although guilty of one crime, he was not involved in the death of Mrs Pain. The jury deliberated for less than two hours before they came back with their decision. “Not guilty”. Douglas was returned to prison although there were concerns over his mental state. He was now in the Terrace prison in Wellington and by 1906, it was stated that “he is in fairly good health but becomes very despondent at times, being under the impression that his relatives appear to have forgotten him”. Despite these concerns he continued to serve the sentence for his original crime.

Giving time shows elders they matter “Right now, rest home volunteers are more important than ever before.” This from Enliven general manager Nicola Turner. “We are very grateful to have such amazing volunteers of all ages who bring a special something to our homes.” Enliven is part of the not-for-profit organisation Presbyterian Support Central. In Masterton, Enliven operates Kandahar Home and Village and the specialised Kandahar Court secure dementia unit. “Enliven homes offer a holistic and resident-directed model of care to which volunteers have always played an important role,” says Nicola. “Volunteers give so much more than just time. They become friends and supporters; they bring diversity, spontaneity and excitement to our rest homes and day programmes.” As staff shortages continue to bite across the aged care sector, volunteers are more important than ever before. “Rest homes are managing staff shortages, but Covid-19 has had other impacts like the need to RAT [rapid antigen test] people before they come into the home. “Having volunteers to help with this testing means staff are not taking away from caring for elders,” explains Nicola. But that’s not the only volunteer role Enliven homes have on offer. Some volunteers help with recreation activities such as the men’s shed, art and craft or interest groups, while others provide

Enliven’s volunteers are invaluable to staff and residents. entertainment like playing the piano. “They might help with some gardening or admin jobs, support residents to use technology like video calling to keep in touch with families, or spend one-onone time with a resident,” says Nicola. “What we really need right now are volunteers who are willing to offer regular days and times for their volunteering so we can factor that support into our planning.” There is no age limit for people who want to donate their time to Enliven, however like staff, all volunteers must be fully vaccinated against Covid-19. Kandahar Home and Village and sister site, Kandahar Court, are located in Lansdowne, Masterton. To find out more about the homes and volunteering, visit www.enlivencentral.org.nz or email support@psc.org.nz.

Thank You to our volunteers!

Restaurant visits losing appeal Comment – Pick ‘n Mix

Graeme Burnard We really enjoy eating out but I am not sure if my tastes are changing or my expectations are getting higher because more and more, I walk out of a restaurant and think I could have had better at home. For me the restaurant experience must start the moment I walk in the door. In fact, even before that. If the entrance is grubby and I see dirty windows, I am no encouraged about what I might find inside. Last week I was walking through Greytown and stopped to read a menu in a dirty glass-fronted cabinet outside a wellknown eatery. The card in the cabinet had been there so long it had curled up in the sun and offered one of the smallest menus I have ever seen. The three main courses on offer were uninspiring and lacked creativity. I wondered why anyone would want to go

in. I certainly wouldn’t. If I am paying someone to feed me, I expect to be looked after the moment I walk in the door. I don’t expect much. Just good, polite, attentive service. Some of the worst service I have experienced is at a restaurant attached to a hotel. On one occasion we booked a table for dinner on a Friday evening. There was one other table being used, occupied with four people. After being shown to our table we sat and waited and waited and waited and watched while a young waitress set other tables for breakfast. We hadn’t been shown menus or asked about drinks. We eventually got up and walked out. On another occasion there was only one glutenfree option for the mains, and it was something my wife wouldn’t eat. I asked the waitress if they could

just make some soup or a salad that was GF and the answer back from the kitchen was, no. So again, we left. And their Christmas Day lunch was so bad we demanded and got half our money back as did numerous other people. In my letter of complaint to them, I told them that on Christmas Day they should be pushing the boat out but theirs was still tied firmly to the wharf. At $110 a person, it was an absolute disgrace. I will never eat there again. On two visits to Wellington, friends and I have had a very enjoyable culinary experience at a restaurant in Wakefield St, called Apache. The name doesn’t give you a clue as to what the food is because it is a Vietnamese restaurant infused with French cuisine. (Google it to see why it is called Apache).

The Wairarapa Families Anglican Trust and WBS are proud to celebrate the opening of The Academy Building

The Academy Building rebuilt with community in mind In a nod to its past, the new building on the corner of Queen and Church Streets in Masterton has been named The Academy Building, as a reminder of what has gone before. The site is owned by the Anglican Church, with the Anglican Diocese of Wellington owning the land, and the Wairarapa Families Anglican Trust (WFAT) owning the building. In much earlier times the site was home to St Matthew’s Church, which opened in 1867 and was one of the first public buildings in Masterton. The wooden church served the community well but was eventually replaced with a church on Church Street. Around the 1900s, an elegant concrete building was constructed, and was named The Academy Building. Original tenants included stationers McLeod and Young, who ran The Academy Bookstore, and sporting goods retailers King and Henry. However, earthquakes and building codes eventually brought about the building’s demise. Though it survived the 1942 Wairarapa earthquakes, extensive damage and repair delays meant the building didn’t reopen until the 1960s, albeit with an entirely different facade. An assessment after the 2011 Christchurch earthquakes deemed the Academy Building as having only 6% compliance to the building code, and the WFAT – who had acquired the building in the 1990s – made the difficult decision to demolish it that same year. Archdeacon and Trust Chair May Croft says the decision wasn’t made lightly. “Our purpose is to support social service initiatives in the Wairarapa to do with young people and families, with the Trust often supporting smaller initiatives that struggle to find funding. Most of our rental income from tenants in the building then ceased. To suddenly lose that income severely reduced our ability to help others. That was very, very hard.” Over the years, the Trust has contributed to funding local initiatives such as the Seasons for Growth Programme, Relationship Services and the Community Counselling Centre programmes run by the Whaiora Whanui Trust, Plunket services,

youth work, gardening projects, school holiday programmes, food banks and Duffy books in homes. Traditionally, the Trust has called for applications for funding once or twice a year, depending on their resources. That flow of support was heavily reduced until now. “We’ve rebuilt through Covid difficulties and delays, putting major funds into the new build to re-fund our activities and the WFAT into the future.”

The new building will again be called The Academy Building – a symbol to others to keep striving and to rise back up despite the odds. May is elated, “WBS is our tenant on the ground floor, and the shared vision we have in terms of both our proceeds going to help people in the community is extra special. We share similar values and envisage working closely together into the future.”

Locals helping locals WBS is proud to be the only 100% locally owned loans and investments provider in the Wairarapa. Their longstanding connection and commitment to the local community has seen them support numerous groups and organisations throughout the region. There is an obvious synergy between WBS and the WFAT that makes the two easy neighbours – both local organisations with a charitable purpose. WBS’s commitment to the community runs deep, with funding also allocated through their Charitable Trust. Sponsorship applications are considered periodically through the year, with support taking various forms, including:

Charlotte Lovell, Apartment Manager Wayne O’Styke, Trustee and Project Manager May Croft, Trust Chair The first floor contains The Academy Apartments – Whare Tumanako, meaning to strive or hope. These B&B style apartments are in the final stages of completion and will also be used by the Trust to provide funds to those in need. “Watch for a website and ways to book in the near future,” says May. The Trust wishes to thank all those involved in the project, especially Tararua Builders, Mike Wilkinson, foreman Sam Pottinger, and Project Manager and Trustee Wayne O’Styke, who donated his time to the project.

The Academy Building will be officially opened and blessed in a dawn ceremony on 28 June.

•

Sponsorship – funding for projects that benefit the community

•

Community loans – loans with favourable terms to help kickstart community initiatives; and

•

Community partnerships – agreements where the outcomes are mutually beneficial.

From sports clubs, schools, events, and social services to men’s sheds, Hospice, Life Flight, and Plunket, the list of organisations that have benefited from WBS support is many and varied. When you take out a loan or investment with WBS, you too are helping to support our community.

Community funding round To celebrate the move to the new premises, WBS is holding a community funding round. Visit wbs.net.nz/sponsorship to apply or for more information, or pop into their new office at 125 Queen Street, Masterton. Applications close 31 July.

A new chapter for WBS The move to new premises on the corner of Church and Queen Streets signals a new chapter for one of Wairarapa’s oldest financial institutions. Wairarapa Building Society (WBS) has been providing personalised loans and investments to help local people and businesses grow since 1873, with ongoing investment in the future ensuring their systems, processes and services keep pace with the constantly evolving needs and aspirations of their customers. Their business is simple: they offer local people options for loans and investments. Typically, that means helping locals buy or build their first home, develop a property portfolio, or invest in Term or Call Investments. WBS has been integral in getting projects off the ground in the Wairarapa, both through its loans to local people and businesses, as well as contributing to key developments throughout the region. Being a mutuality means WBS is 100% locally owned by its members, with profits staying right here in the Wairarapa to help others in the community. Is it governed by a future-focused board of directors, with all the directors having long-standing connections to the Wairarapa. The friendly, dedicated WBS team prides itself on taking the time to get to know its members and customers, and personalising its loans and investments to suit. While many of the big banks are closing their doors or reducing their opening hours, WBS actively encourages their customers to come in and meet the team. “We’re welcoming customers to come in and see us”, says Jennie. “We’re open Monday to Friday, 9am to 4.30pm, because we still value that in-person, face-to-face service and so do our customers. If they prefer to deal with us over the phone or online, we’re set up for that too. It’s about providing service options that suit them, not the other way around.”

Self-help books o˜ er guidance Self-help is a topic that is often belittled and looked down upon. Those who choose to read books by the likes of Anthony Robbins or Rhonda Byrne can be ridiculed or seen to be looking for impossible solutions to problems. The authors could be looked at as charlatans, selling snake oil and taking advantage of people who are vulnerable. I take a different position. I unashamedly love self-help and read books on the topic daily. Many I have read more than once, with three examples being Grit, Atomic Habits, and The Richest Man in Babylon. These books have provided me with many ideas and strategies that have enriched my life in many ways. I have tremendous respect and admiration for many of the authors, who I genuinely believe want to provide support and guidance to enable others to lead more fulfilling and satisfying lives. Yes, there are some who may have questionable motives, but even in their books there may be that one idea that, if applied, will have benefits.

Be a little bit selÿ sh

A life of giving and supporting others, especially those we love and are closest to, is a life of meaning. I am fortunate to have a family I love, a job I love, and a position serving the community I love; really, in many ways, it is a blessed life that requires a lot of time to serve and to be selfless. However, I also see the need to be a little bit selfish. There are things I do daily that really are just for me. For example, I exercise almost every day, always making sure I have time to do so regardless of how busy I am. Sometimes this will mean sacrificing opportunities in which I could be helping others,

but I realise that the feeling of satisfaction and positivity I get from being ﬁt and healthy makes me stronger for the times in which I am serving others. Sometimes we really do need to put ourselves ﬁrst to be the best we can be when catering for the needs of those most important to us.

365 days in a row

More from Cam Hanes (I just really like the guy), sharing about how we need to commit to habits. His suggestion is to choose one thing that you’d like to do and then commit to doing it for 365 days. I remember once doing this for exercise and managing to do it; I even set up a blog in the days before social media. Simply making the commitment and sharing it with others makes you accountable and more likely to making it happen, although I would suggest not setting too lofty a commitment, as 365 days

is a very long time. I already have one long-term commitment that I have been doing for many years, this being my daily posts on this page, which form my weekly newspaper column. However, as I’m writing, I’m going to commit to a new one and start from tomorrow morning. For this my habit will be 13 minutes of meditation, the sweet spot for this habit that I shared on a previous post. I’ll keep reporting back on my progress and do feel that I will get there;

a time in which he now feels he wasted a lot of the opportunities given to him, which led to no one having belief in him to really achieve anything in his life. This was certainly the case until his early 20s, a time in which he repeatedly made poor decisions, including many that put both his own and the lives of others at risk. However, a time came in which Hanes ﬁgured out that if no one did believe in him, he would still need to believe in himself, doing what he knew was

necessary to be the best he could be in the areas he was most passionate about, particularly bow hunting. This was incredibly liberating, as he knew that there would be no one else to blame but himself when things went wrong, and when things went right, it was entirely up to him. There will be times in which the only person we can count on is ourselves. The more we can trust ourselves to do what it takes, the more fulﬁlling our lives will be.

Time with our children

Tomorrow night my daughter arrives back from university. When she gets back to Wellington she’ll be catching up with friends for dinner, which means there won’t be a train for her to catch home. When she spoke to us this evening, she sheepishly asked what we were doing on that night. To me, although it’s a 90-minute drive each way, I couldn’t think of anything I’d rather do, spending that time with someone I love so much on the drive home. I can picture now when I pick her up after not having seen her for several weeks. Time with children and loved ones is so precious. Just imagine what it would be like if it could no longer happen for whatever reason. While it’s still possible I’ll enjoy every opportunity to do so, to spend that time catching up about the weeks gone, the holidays to come, Stranger Things, and anything else. I can’t wait for tomorrow night.

The Boost mind hack

I’m reading a fascinating book called The Boost. It’s a science ﬁction novel set 50 years into the future, a time in which most people have a chip inserted in their brains that give them access to a wealth of information, entertainment, taste enhances, and a huge number of other

experiences that gives the user a feeling the experience is real, even though they know it isn’t. The chip is viewed by most as a positive enhancement because of what can be accessed through it. I’m hopeful this never becomes true, regardless of how real the experiences may seem. There is so much more to doing things in reality, knowing that it is so, and truly having the experience. My feeling is that real life is far better for our physical and mental health, and the attainment through hard work of what a chip could provide is only ever going to make our lives more fulﬁlling, as we know what we have is based on our own eﬀorts, rather than a high-tech brain hack. As an aside, doing things in the real world may also having us caring for this very place, our planet, a little more; the better we look after our environment, the more pleasurable it will be.

Creativity

Creativity is something that is very much sought after. In the world today this is a quality many feel gives an edge to individuals or groups. We even see it in countries, who collectively believe creativity is a pathway to a better nation, a means to compete in many ways to make the lives of citizens better. The problem too often

with creativity is that it will be valued only at the very highest level, such as with a company that develops a standout product or service. An example of this is Apple and the iPad. This was developed over a decade ago and was clearly a big-ticket item so many have come to believe they need. However, the creativity didn’t stop there with that device, it has continued in the many minor tweaks and changes that incrementally make the product better. For me, creativity is summed up so well in The School of Life book The Meaning of Life, which states: ‘We just need to be persistently on the lookout for (sometimes very small) ways of improving life’. We don’t need to create the equivalent of an iPad to be creative. Rather, our creativity could be in the use of using limited and inexpensive ingredients to make a tasty meal. This is the type of lowkey creativity that makes the world a better place without many even noticing it is happening. • Tim Nelson is principal of Lakeview School and author of the book Small Steps for a happy and purposeful life.

Golden

YEARS

Keep busy: Keep moving: Be interested The Britannica dictionary deÿ nes a person’s Golden Years as the “late years in someone’s life when someone is old.” Just exactly how we deÿ ne ‘old’ is anyone’s guess. Two Masterton men who are thoroughly enjoying their ‘Golden Years’ are retired doctor Tenick Dennison who will be 95 at the end of the month and Mt Bruce farmer Jim Campell, who last week turned 80.

Jim Campbell

We spoke to both these remarkable men who still have an enthusiastic vigour for life, asking them to share their theories on how to age well.

JIM CAMPBELL Conservation and the love of trees is what linked up Tenick and Jim. Jim received a MNZM for his conservation work in 2016. The men have worked side-by-side at Henley Lake with a joint passion to provide Masterton residents with a recreational area close to town. But much of Jim’s work has been in the foothills of the Tararuas at Mt Bruce where you only get to see the magniÿ cent paradise he has created, if you’re prepared to trek in, or hitch a ride on his ex-army Chevvy ‘Puddle Jumper’ which he uses to get around his farm. For town use, he loves his canary yellow 1984 Chevrolet truck which he bought brand new. Jim’s cabin, where he lives, sits aside a large man-made lake and is the haven for waterfowl,

Whio (Blue duck) Pateke (brown teal), grey teal, and the mute white swan among others. Habitat restoration has been a driving force in Jim setting up, under the QEII National Trust of which he is a life member, covenanted areas of native bush. He joined New Zealand’s leading waterfowl and wetlands conservation group, Ducks Unlimited in 1976, serving as president and now co-patron.

Son Simon keeps an eye out on Jim’s cabin “if there’s smoke coming from the chimney, he knows I’m okay.”

enjoyed for decades with old friend Dr Owen Prior.

DR TENICK DENNISON There is no stopping this man. His list of achievements within the Wairarapa community are huge and that’s just in his volunteer capacity.

Farm work has kept him ÿ t. In his early years, he was a harrier, chasing the sheep around. It was the best training. Now, his best advice for older people is to “keep moving”. That, and having a good book, when you stop”.

For 55 years, he worked as a GP and as Wairarapa’s paediatrician, loving the medical specialty of caring for children. The author of ÿ ve books, mainly re° ections on his life and his family story, one of them “Can I tell you this just before I forget” was produced in 2009.

Living remotely is what Jim loves but he also enjoys the company of friends and family and his third Springer Spaniel, Meg.

He has recently established a writing group at Masonic Village in Masterton where he lives, encouraging the residents to write their memoirs.

Dr Tenick Dennison He has three clear instructions on growing old happily: 1. Always have something to do to keep you active. 2. Always have someone (spouse) or something (pet) to care for. 3. Always have something to look forward to. Uno˛ cially he adds a daily dram of whiskey to the list helps – something he has

Tenick has been involved with the Masterton Men’s Shed for years and makes a beeline for the place around morning tea. “It’s so important to mix with people and maintain friendships. You need to be pro-active about this. It can be quite easy to settle into your comfy chair and wait for them to come to you. But if we all did this, it could be a very lonely place.” He conducts his days in short interludes. “Today, I did two loads of washing because the rain stopped. I visited a sick friend, went to the Men’s Shed, and visited the money machine.” An early afternoon nap sets him up for later in the day. He does enjoy his comfy chair too and loves older age giving him the time to read more.

“Reading stimulates the brain. No question. It can take you to a whole new dimension.” When his wife Janet died, he eventually left his large bungalow in Masterton where they had lived for over 60 years. “Friends and family wondered how I would cope with the move, but it was invigorating. He enthuses about his new compact place at Masonic Village, which family have ensured is decorated to re° ect Tenick, the man. There’s artworks from travels, pieces of blown glass made by his son, Jim and artefacts like a collection of walking sticks Tenick carved himself. “That was my carving period,” he laughs. He describes his life as a “series of enthusiasms”. There’s been his bird photography (he’s a keen ornithologist); a trout

ÿ sherman; enthusiastic gardener; Henley Lake supporter; Men’s Shed participant and his writing. In 2007, he was awarded the MNZM in the New Year’s Honours for his conservation work at Henley Lake. When asked what he ÿ nds hardest in his nineties, he says dropping something on the ° oor and then having to bend down to retrieve it. He also mourns not being able to clamber down banks of the Ruamahanga to do his ÿ shing. He has a cat for company these days and what he has got to look forward to, is a trip to Hilderthorpe, in Central Otago where he grew up. His older brother Jim is on the farm there and will be 97 this year. They’re planning a great catch-up.

Adamsons Service Station, Featherston. Familyowned business since 1927. Fuel available 24 hours Motorists – locals and travellers, rely on Adamsons Service Station in Featherston for their friendly, thorough, and reliable service. The service station is an integral part of the Featherston townscape. When you see the Adamsons sign – you know you have arrived! For almost one hundred years, there has been a garage in the town at the base of the Remutaka Hill and it’s the go-to place to get fuel and supplies before heading over the hill, going to the coast, or north into the Wairarapa valley. When hundreds of visitors poured into Featherston for the town’s Booktown Kurukatea Festival the Adamsons sta˜ were up to the challenge to keep everyone moving. Manager Maria says she and the team are thrilled to keep the motoring public

on the road. “Adamsons has always been proud to serve the Featherston township and beyond and we are particularly thankful for the many dedicated community groups, such as the Featherston Volunteer Fire Brigade and the Community Patrol, whose members regularly refuel at the station.” With winter settling in and conditions on the roads sometimes treacherous, Adamsons have a few important winter vehicle safety tips: • Never let your fuel run low • Warm your car up before leaving. Allowing your car engine to warm means that the oil has had a chance to be less viscous so that it more readily lubricates the engine • Check vehicle ˛ uids • Check tyre pressures

• Emergency kit – always have one in your vehicle And, if it’s ÿ rewood you want. Adamsons has manuka and pine ÿ rewood for sale, along with kindling, coal, and pinecones. For ÿ shing enthusiasts, Adamsons stock bait, ice, salt ice, and tackle. For overnight travellers, there is an afterhours payment terminal on the forecourt with petrol and diesel pumps. For motorists travelling regular hours Adamsons is open weekdays 6am – 7pm, and weekends and public holidays 7am – 7pm. Adamsons famous personalised service is always enjoyed with the team ready to help customers ÿ ll their tanks, pump tyres, check oil and water, and wash windows.

I booked (you have to book well in advance, it is always full). The food is simply delicious. A burst of ﬂavour with every mouthful. Now, if I put a plate of food in front of you and said, this is grilled salmon, slow roasted pork belly, lychees, fresh green apple, egg and crisp, crunchy Asian greens, you would probably run for the hills, but oh my goodness me, what a dish. And the prices were very very good. A few doors down from Apache is Concord, a new restaurant where the famous Lido café used to be. Concord brag about themselves on their website so I had a look at their menu. Their roast chicken dish is $45, and the steak dishes start at $50. These meals come with salad and bottomless

I called the waitress over and asked her where the vegetables were. There aren’t any, she replied. fries. If you want a bowl of fresh green vegetables, it is another $15. Now, I am not tight with my money, but I hate being ripped off, especially when it comes to food. I know costs must be covered and profits have to be made but I have a feeling that the beautiful piece of $9.50 scotch fillet I intend having tonight will taste just as good as the $50+ at Concord. And I will even give myself a complimentary bowl of vegetables. Some years ago, on my birthday, we went to a restaurant that had just opened that day in Masterton. On the menu

Palliser Estate’s awardwinning wine holds the secret to the future of New Zealand winemaking. The 2019 Hua Nui Pinot Noir scored 97 out of 100 points at London’s prestigious Decanter World Wine Awards. Owner of Palliser Estate Pip Goodwin said it was rare to score over 95 points at the world’s largest wine competition. The top-scoring Hua Nui Pinot Noir was from Palliser Estate’s organic vineyard, which means no herbicides or pesticides were used on the vines. Goodwin said by 2025, Palliser Estate aimed to make 100 per cent organic wines. When winemaker and viticulturist Guy McMaster came to Palliser Estate in 2017, he pushed for the switch to organic

A large white dinner plate with a piece of steak sliced into six thin slices. It was placed in the middle of the table. We waited and waited for vegetables or salad to arrive. Nothing. I called the waitress over and asked her where the vegetables were. There aren’t any, she replied. Why not, I asked, and she looked me straight in eye and said because you didn’t ask for any. So I am paying $60 for a piece of steak? Yes. We are still laughing about it. And from that day, if the vegetables are extra, I aint buying i. The restaurant didn’t last long by the way.

DairyNZ Update The start of calving is looming and in some earlier calving herds there’s those calves that always seem to arrive before you’re ready for them! For those cows inside their last month before calving their current body condition will be their calving condition. Now is a good time to target any later calving cows that are lighter for any condition score increases as the time available to achieve this condition is rapidly decreasing. Now’s a good time to dust off the Spring Rotation Planners and run some different scenarios to identify where the sensitive factors may exist. The Spring Rotation Planner allocates a set area per day (or per week) from when the cows calve to balance date, starting on a slow rotation and speeding up to a quicker rotation in the spring. It’s most effective when actual pasture cover is monitored against target and the rotation sped up or slowed down to bring the average pasture cover back on target.

Emission pricing Gr ac e P rior He Waka Eke Noa has made public a milestone report, detailing its preferred emissions pricing structure for farmers. The changes are set to aﬀect farms across New Zealand. Featherston farmer and Dairy New Zealand climate change ambassador Aidan Bichan said the alternative to He Waka Eke Noa was farmers entering the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS), a system he described as “clunky”. “Apparently, at an admin level, it isn’t working all that well.” Bichan said entering the ETS wouldn’t allow farmers much say in where the government invested the money they paid for emissions. He said the He Waka Eke Noa approach to farm emissions had wide support from the sector, even though there were a few groups that “make a lot of noise” about the “mechanics and nuts and bolts”. In the report, He Waka Eke Noa said farmers strongly supported splitgas pricing, meaning farmers would pay

different amounts for methane and carbon dioxide emissions. It said they emphasised the approach for setting climate change targets. “It was important to farmers that the primary sector maintains control and influence over price setting and revenue recycling. Many expressed views that the factors that influence price setting need to be science-based, not influenced by politics.” Bichan said moving forward had historically been slowed by political motivations, such as the desire to be re-elected. He said actions such as raising petrol prices could upset groups of voters, so it wouldn’t be done. The report said farmers had recommended reporting, auditing, and compliance was rolled into a “one-stop-shop”, and they wanted emissions reductions to align with other regulations such as fresh water and biodiversity. It said the pricing system needed to be accessible and approachable. “There has been significant feedback that highlighted if the administrative burden is

too high, the system will not drive the outcomes that are needed.” The report said farmers were also concerned that the primary sector didn’t have the skills or support to implement farm-level pricing in 2025. Bichan said the report had only just gone to the government and was set to be approved in December, leaving only two to three years to ﬁgure out the operational details. “In saying that, I suspect that He Waka Eke Noa has already done quite a lot of work down that track in terms of thinking. “If you think about the steps we’ve had with climate change, the ﬁrst step being ‘know your numbers’… you’ve got 90 per cent of dairy farmers who know their numbers already and have for a couple of years.” He said the next step was building the knowledge of farm emissions into a greenhouse gas plan and linking up farm environmental regulations. AgResearch senior scientist Robyn Dynes said the approach recommended by He Waka Eke Noa provided a means to reduce emissions and

supported sustainable food production. She said the split-gas approach would allow farmers “clarity on relative contributions to emissions within their own farming systems”. Bichan said the ability to “split out methane” from carbon dioxide would be a major advantage for farmers and recognised that methane behaved diﬀerently as a short-lived gas. Short-lived gasses, like methane, cause a greater increase in global temperatures but last a much smaller amount of time, whereas longlived gasses, like carbon dioxide, make a smaller immediate dent but linger for thousands of years, said Ministry for the Environment. Dynes said the split-gas approach would also allow farmers to make changes

and apply mitigations that would be most eﬀective for their businesses. “There are limited tools currently available to farmers to reduce their emissions and therefore levy costs. Existing options include low methane genetics in sheep developed by AgResearch in partnership with the government and industry.” Massey University sustainable energy and climate mitigation professor Ralph Sims said the global food supply system produced about one-quarter of total greenhouse gas emissions - about half arising from behind the farm gate. Sims said food systems could not be exempt from signiﬁcantly reducing emissions if the United Nations target of staying below a two-degree Celsius temperature rise was to be achieved.

Marist jumped to the top of the Wairarapa-Bush premier championship standings with a comprehensive victory over a Greytown side severely depleted with injury and illness. The game - which started on Memorial Park No 2 but finished on Memorial Park No 3 after a neck injury to Greytown winger Joseph Te Nahia forced a change of field - never rose to any great heights despite the willingness of both teams to run the ball in the slippery conditions. Marist dominated from the first whistle, opening the scoring after two minutes with a try to blindside flanker Tom Campbell after a barnstorming 30-metre run by prop Michael Brown. Further tries to centre Charles Mataitai, hooker Tua Levi, and second-five Soli Malatai wrapped up the four-try bonus point before first-five Sam Walton-Sexton crossed for Greytown’s first five-pointer, with the home side taking a 26-8 lead into the halftime break. While the first half was reasonably free-flowing, the second was stop-start - not helped by two serious injuries. The first of these was to Greytown veteran loose forward Tana Isaac, who was having an outstanding game and blew an Achilles tendon while making a powerful run. The second was to Te Nahia, who was left prone on the ground after suffering his neck injury, which necessitated the switching of fields. Marist added three secondhalf tries to halfback Paddy Gluck, replacement prop Sam Siaosi, and the last from a pushover scrum, while winger Kallum Pike and openside flanker Matt Gain scored for Greytown. The home side could count themselves lucky that they didn’t spend considerable time with fewer than 15 players, with at least two shoulder charges only resulting in penalties. Marist captain Peter Beech was happy with the way his team bounced back after the previous weekend’s shock loss to Martinborough. “We had to come and put a performance on, so we did what we had to do,” Beech said. “There was some really good stuff in our defence, and it’s not every day of the week where you have a team stop using lineouts and just tap and go. “There’s a lot of teams doing that now - they’re not going for the lineouts; they will just tap and go. We take that as a compliment.” Beech also praised the depleted Greytown side for a strong effort.

Prop Michael Brown makes the burst that led to Marist’s opening try.

Referee Matt Perry signals Pioneer’s final try to level the score with Eketahuna.

“Fair cop to them; some guys probably had to come up from the thirds, and they’ve had to call some guys in who haven’t played all year.”

PIONEER EKETAHUNA

Pioneer needed a converted try on full-time to deny Eketahuna their first victory of the season in a pulsating game at Jeans St. Eketahuna looked to have finally broken their duck until flanker Himiona Hair capped another outstanding game, crashing over in a melee of bodies to draw the scores level. That left Reece Calkin to slot the conversion and secure the come-from-behind victory, which he duly did. Pioneer coach Victor Thompson was thrilled with the result against an Eketahuna side, who were much better than their record suggested. “They were very sharp, but we stuck together, and that’s what got us over the try line at the end,” Thompson said. “We left a few tries out there, and a few points out there, and the ball was a bit slippery, but we’re happy with how we dealt with it.” Thompson said the return of midfielders Nikora Ewe

and Hoani Peacock made a big difference, but it was hard to look past Haira as player of the day and his battle with Johan van Vliet was worth watching.

out and turn the ball over or force a penalty and get to the other end again.” The win lifted Carterton to a share of the championship lead with Marist.

MARTINBOROUGH CARTERTON

GLADSTONE EAST COAST

Carterton coach Neil Rodger said his team’s win over Martinborough at Martinborough was the team’s best effort of the season so far. “We stepped up and took some opportunities, and we pretty much took every single one of them. It was a really good performance,” a delighted Rodger said. Fullback Aseri Waqa was the star for Carterton, scoring three tries, and was a constant threat on the counterattack. “He was outstanding, but in saying that, nobody played badly, and when you can do that, you’re going to go pretty close.” Rodger also praised Carterton’s defensive effort under sustained pressure from Martinborough. “They were pretty good with ball in hand, and they know how to put pressure on, but our guys stood up, especially in the second half on defence, and with the number of raids they had. “We managed to keep them

A strong defensive effort was the catalyst behind Gladstone’s win over highflying East Coast on old timers’ day at Gladstone. “The boys really stepped in that area, that’s for sure,” Gladstone co-coach Charlie Bargh said. “No one wanted to be that weak link that would let someone through, and we were all going in as one team. It was an outstanding performance.” Gladstone adapted better to the conditions, with the game played in persistent rain, making ball-handling tricky. East Coast had their opportunity to win the game after a try to Bryan Arnold with three minutes to play, but Jack Wakeling’s conversion was astray. Gladstone second-five Nua Fonoilaepia then secured the victory with his second try from an intercept in the 82nd minute to deny East Coast a bonus point.

Tough wins for Dalefield HOCKEY

MEN HARBOUR CITY DALEFIELD

“It was a weird game.” Such was Farriers Dalefield player-co-coach Benedict van Woerkom’s reaction to Saturday’s win over defending champions Harbour City at the National Hockey Stadium. Dalefield scored four unanswered goals in a dominant first quarter and led 5-2 at halftime before dropping their concentration and letting Harbour City back into the game. “We wanted to play well from the start and keep that consistency,” van Woerkom said. “We had a few chances in the first quarter, and we took them. Then they came back and changed a few things, and it was just our defence that let us down. “When you get up by four or five goals, you expect it to become a bit easier, so guys don’t work as hard, and it’s often hard to try and maintain that consistency.” Van Woerkom said a lack of defensive organisation let Dalefield down in the second half. Zac Hardie scored a first-half hat-trick, Rowan

Yeo scored two goals, and Dylan Price also got on the scoresheet. The win maintained Dalefield’s 10-point lead in the championship, with one more win probably needed to lock in the top spot for the playoffs. “We’re in a good position, and the crazy thing is we’ve still got Dane [Lett], Jayan [Pabhu] and Hamish [Finlayson] out, and that makes a huge difference especially Dane. “You just wonder where we can get to, and that’s a little bit scary for the opposition.”

Zac Hardie scored a ÿ rsthalf hat-trick.

Michael O’Connor praised the team’s defence for their dogged women’s premier championship win over Harbour City at the National Hockey Stadium. Harbour City took the lead in the ﬁrst quarter from a penalty corner

[PC] before Felicity Reidy equalised in the second quarter, and Abby Crawley converted a PC to put Daleﬁeld ahead. As was the case in recent rounds, Daleﬁeld were hit with late withdrawals, with illness ruling out Charlize

Baron, Grace Greig, and Brigette Mossman. O’Connor said that tested the team’s depth, especially on defence. “There were times when we had four or five PCs against us. [Captain] Michael [O’Connor] and Katie McAnulty were pretty good at stopping them, and if they did get through, Amy Rossiter-Stead stopped them. “All the defenders went really well. Amy Bunny and Lauren Mahony, who was player of the day, had a lot of work to do but stuck to it and stopped a lot of Harbour’s attack.” O’Connor also singled out former Black Stick Reidy, saying she had another outstanding game and was playing some of her best hockey since she returned to the club two years ago. However, overall, O’Connor felt it was a good team effort. “I thought Harbour had the edge in possession and were pushing it, but our girls fought hard and fought for each other, so I’m very happy.” The win kept Dalefield third in the championship and just two points off Northern United in second place. There would be no games next weekend because of the Matariki long weekend.
