Hairdressers trim the load in fine style Frustration and screen time usage grew considerably during the recent lockdown … so did people’s hair. JOHN LAZO-RON writes. Post lockdown has become a bit of a hairy time for many businesses trying to desperately recover after three long weeks out of business. Yet, one industry currently on the mend from the latest covid-19 outbreak is hairdressing. Ever since most of New Zealand came out of level 3 lockdown a fortnight ago, people have been ﬂocking to hairdressers and barbers looking to get their locks chopped – in turn overloading booking systems. Feeling that heavy demand right now are hairdressers and barbers across Wairarapa, with some businesses currently stacked with bookings right up to the end of October. Owner of La Cutting Crew in Greytown, Siobhan Jephson, said the phone in the salon had been ringing

nonstop ever since they opened their doors again. “It’s been ﬂat out,” Jephson said. “We’ve been really busy with a lot of big jobs. In the morning when we get here, it [the phone] doesn’t stop. Now, we’re booked right up until October.” She said managing to comply with social distancing rules had been one of their most signiﬁcant hurdles in dealing with the large client numbers. Workers must keep 2 metres apart from their clients, except for when close physical contact is needed to provide a service.

Foodbank challenge accepted John Lazo-Ron

john.lazo-ron@age.co.nz

Nine Masterton supermarkets, retailers and dairies have teamed up in a bid to raise a record $30,000 worth of groceries as part of Masterton’s upcoming annual Foodbank Challenge. The week-long challenge, where customers can donate foodbank friendly items at any of the participating retailers, will take place from Monday, September 27, to Sunday, October 3. All proceeds raised would go to Masterton Foodbank. Clive Webber, owneroperator at New World Masterton and founder of the Masterton Foodbank Challenge, told Midweek he was excited about having so many other retailers on board this year. “We’ve had massive success in the past two challenges, so I thought this year, why not expand it wider and get more of the community involved,” he said. “We’ve got others joining in now so it’s amazing.” Webber quickly emphasised this was not

a New World promotion but a community-based project between many Masterton stores that want to do their part towards a good cause.

“This initiative is all about bringing our community together and partnering with our fellow retailers to create a lasting impact on those families

struggling the most,” he said. “Food insecurity is a growing issue in Masterton, and it’s important we support

Masterton Foodbank and the work they are doing to provide food parcels to families in our community struggling to put food on the table.”

The stakes have been raised much higher with the additional stores participating in the challenge this year, with the event raising $10,000 in 2020. Webber said he would meet every dollar his customers put into the Masterton Foodbank Challenge. Manager at Masterton Foodbank Jenna Matchette said she was incredibly grateful to have the support of local retailers in the community. “Covid-19 has put additional pressure on our resources and we’re seeing more families reach out for help. No donation is too small, and the grocery essentials donated will be used in food parcels distributed to families in the lead up to Christmas.” If you would like to be part of the Masterton Foodbank Challenge, you can donate items at any of these retailers: • New World Masterton • Countdown • PAK’nSAVE Masterton • Moore Wilsons • The Warehouse • Copper Kettle Superette • East Side Superette • Hospital Food Market • Solway Superette

Orphaned lambs show off their true colours John Lazo-Ron

john.lazo-ron@age.co.nz

Orphaned lambs across the region got a warm, bright surprise this Spring by being coated with their very own jacket. Masterton’s Masterweave Textiles donated 400 lamb jackets to rural school students with lambs that don’t have a mum to cuddle up to. Masterweave general manager Kylie Blyth said the local weaver of Mohair, Alpaca and Wool wanted to give back to their local rural community and thought this was a way to do so. “Many children growing

up on farms care for orphaned lambs. They feed, play and love these lambs. In many homes, they are kept for years as pet sheep.” She said the response was enormous. “The response has been really lovely, the kids absolutely loved them. Some of the schools came back for more. We’ve had people send us pictures with their lambs wearing the jackets, so we are really pleased.” Blyth said they still had some jackets stored away, so if anyone wanted one, she said to get in touch with Masterweave on Lincoln Rd in Masterton.

STICKMAN’S WEEKLY SPECIALS

Continued from page 1 “We’ve had to stagger our appointments as much as we can to keep social distancing and be spaced out in the salon. So that’s put a lot of stress onto us working without getting people into everybody’s environment [social distancing space]. Trying to have as many options available for people to do their contract tracing has been another stress.” Jephson initially had anxiety about returning to work after previous post-lockdown experiences. However, she made the conscious decision to deal with the pressure as positively as possible for her staff ’s wellbeing and her own. “The first lockdown was a lot longer, so that was insane coming back,” she said. “I was so stressed about coming back to work this time around, but I eventually decided that I’m not going to put too much pressure on myself and my staff because it’s not worth it.” Despite the obstacles, Jephson said it was amazing to see clients at the salon again. “Really good to see clients back. When you’re a social person, you really miss that interaction with other people and the community. “They’ve [clients] been saying ‘oh that feels so much better’, and ‘I really needed this haircut’. But I feel really sorry for Auckland because they’ve got to hack it out for longer.” Also battling to keep up with demand is Carterton’s Midway Barber Shop. Owner and sole worker of the store, Gibson Noema, said he was fully booked for more than two weeks and expected to be busy for the rest of the year. He’s had to extend his hours, working now till 7pm each weekday, and more hours on a Saturday, when he usually wraps up his day by 5pm. “Demand has been pretty crazy with everyone back to school and back to work, so have had this backlog of bookings,” he said. “With Christmas coming soon and all this happening now, it’s all a bit whack, so I’m probably going to be busy all the way up until the end of December.” Noema said he was on the lookout for more barbers to help

ease the flow of bookings. “I was trying to find more barbers before lockdown, but it’s easier said than done, and going through lockdown definitely put a big spanner in the works for that. “I’m on my own and so busy that I just can’t take on a lot of clients. That’s what mucked it up for me, so I need to find some more workers moving forward as a business. I can only do so much by myself.” Debbie Fox, who owns Featherston’s Hair Stop, said she’s had to “turn lots of people away because of the demand.” “First morning I got in here, I had 13 phone calls waiting for me to answer, and since then, the phone’s been constantly ringing, and people coming in trying to get appointments. And that was just the first day.” She said Featherston’s power was cut for most of the following day [September 9], which caused further bookings disruption. “Many of my bookings were messed up because of that power cut. I could only do dry cuts that day. Usually, I would work half a day on Saturday but had to work a whole day just to catch up. “Most people have been

understanding, not everybody, but most realise I’ve only got one pair of hands and can only do one thing at a time. Normally, I take people who just walk in or can give an appointment within one or two days, but it’s closer to two weeks now.” Owner of popular Masterton barbershop, BarberShop Jordy, Jordan McDowall, said the shop had been overloaded with clients rushing back for a much-needed snip. The barbershop opened on Wednesday when alert level 2 was reinstated and had booked out the entire week within half n hour. However, the stress factor had been much lower this time round, with McDowall saying he learnt many lessons from previous lockdowns, which better equipped him to deal with the most recent one. “It’s been very hectic on the admin side of things, that’s for sure,” he said. “That ﬁrst week back, we only had two people who missed out on our services, but I learnt after the last lockdown that we needed a couple of more workers. So I did that, and that has helped keep things ticking over.

“I also assumed it [lockdown] might happen again, so had some rainy day money put away. I paid bills right from the start this time rather than try to pay them back afterwards. Paid advance rents as well just to keep on top of things.” McDowall said the wellness of his barbers was his biggest priority, so he chose not to extend business hours as he did in previous lockdowns to keep the pressure off his workers. “Last time we extended the hours and worked all manner of late nights, but this time we’re trying to stretch the work out. “We don’t want to put as much pressure on the workers because we’ve got some new workers. Looking after us is important and not making it as much of a stressful time as last time.” None of the businesses disclosed how much they had lost over the three-week lockdown period but said that despite the influx of bookings, they are still very much in recovery mode. “It was really hard,” Fox [Hair Stop] said of the three-week pause. “I didn’t really cope well with that, and neither did my clients because having to rearrange everything when we come back is just extra time and extra stress. The Government tried to help a bit financially, but it doesn’t really cover everything. I’m still recovering, so not quite yet, but hopefully, I should be able to catch up in another couple of weeks. But it’s better than not working.”

Noema [Midway Barber Shop] said the frightening part of going through lockdown was not knowing how he was going to pay the bills. “It’s always a little bit scary when you don’t know, but that’s the thing with this. It’s really tough because every time we have a lockdown, we don’t get that work back.” Jephson [La Cutting Crew] said despite the influx of clients, it hadn’t made up for the revenue lost in lockdown. “Well, it’s not recovered,” she said. “We’re definitely not recovered from that, but it puts us back up and helps us get there, but we definitely lost money.”

Book closed on late fines Sue Teodoro

sue.teodoro@age.co.nz

South Wairarapa District Council [SWDC] library users join others in expecting no more overdue fines for library books from early October, following a council decision last week. The move aligns SWDC with a recent decision by Carterton District Council [CDC]. A report recommending the move was endorsed at Wairarapa Library Service Joint Councils’ Committee meeting last month and recently ratified by CDC. SWDC passed the resolution last Wednesday, accepting the recommendation. The financial impact in South Wairarapa was estimated to be between $2000 and $3000 a year, but the overall positive impact was expected to far outweigh that. The fines represented about 1 per cent of South Wairarapa libraries’ revenue, but there were currently 3,856 customers who had not used the library for more than 12 months. Of these, 3,184 were adults with an average overdue fine of just under two dollars. A new library system was expected to go live in October, making this a

good time to drop the fees. It meant the new systems could be set up without the need for a collection function. Councillor Pam Colenso told SWDC that overdue fines were a hindrance to returning books and to using the library. This meant other facilities provided by the libraries were not used by some with fines, often people who most needed those services.

Overdue fees are punitive, which is not particularly helpful for public libraries. They impact the very people you want to be using public libraries. She said it was hoped by removing fines, that people would still do the right thing and return the books.

Annette Beattie, manager at Wairarapa Library Services [WLS], said the move aligned with international trends to drop overdue fees. Research showed fines were not a helpful tool. “People who are going to return books late will do that regardless. Overdue fees are punitive, which is not particularly helpful for public libraries. They impact the very people you want to be

using public libraries.” She said dropping the fees removed a key challenge to equity of access, particularly to information and library resources. “Libraries are a key and fundamental resource in communities for literacy, wellbeing, social cohesion, connectivity, employability and life skills.” The time spent chasing overdue fines was often wasted. Dropping the fees had minimal cost but a significant gain. “We envisage getting a number of people coming back to use the libraries,” Beattie said. Both councils previously removed overdue fines on children’s books to help encourage a love of reading in all young families. WLS planned to offer a suite of new services to library users from October 12 and included the ability to borrow items from 26 libraries across the lower North Island, including Masterton’s district library. A new website and Facebook page for WLS were also on the cards. “The team is very excited to be upgrading to a truly modern system,” Beattie said.

Ifill happy with fifth Chris Cogdale

chris.cogdale@age.co.nz

Trust House Wairarapa United’s Paul Ifill believes the team’s fifth-place finish in the Central League is a fair reflection of the season. United wrapped up their campaign on Friday night with a 0-3 loss away to Lower Hutt City, who will play in the new national championship under the Wellington Phoenix Academy banner. “They were the better side but considering the team we had out there I was pretty pleased, and all the young boys did really well,” he said. Ifill stepped into a player-coach role after coach Phil Keinzley resigned in June, and feels that given the upheaval, and the loss of midfielder Hugo Delehommelle to Miramar Rangers and Jared Cunniff to Wellington Olympic in the June transfer window, the team acquitted themselves well. “If we had kept Hugo and Jared Cunniff for the full season, I think we would have made the national league and it was pretty gutting how that happened. But it was a good, combined effort.”

If you had to define ‘spring’ in one word – what would you say?

Beauty, Life, Flowers, Colour All seasons have their advantages of course, but spring seems to have so many good things about it. There is something magical about the appearance of flowers bursting to life on bare branches, in a landscape that has looked dreary for months. Have you got anything growing in your garden that signals to you that the warmer months are on the way? It’s interesting to take notice of what other people have growing in their gardens at this time of year that catch your eye – you may see something that would be perfect for bringing your garden to life after winter. In the meantime here are a few ideas of what you could plant to celebrate the arrival of spring.

Flowering cherries It’s a shame that the blossoms of Prunus only last for a few weeks because they are one of the most beautiful signs of spring. Some of these magnificent trees bloom as early as August, a great relief to bees and other insects that feed on the nectar & pollen no doubt. There is such a big range of Prunus to choose from, there is bound to be something to suit your garden.

Bigger cherries, such as Awanui, look spectacular planted along driveways

Nectar loving birds & insects flock to types such as Campanulata

Crabapples

Star Magnolias burst to life in late winter or early spring, often before most spring bulbs.

There are edible and ornamental crabapples (Malus) and it’s not just the beautiful blossoms that make them appealing. They have wonderful coloured foliage, they are an important pollinator for many other apple trees and when they have been pollinated themselves big clusters of fruit appear. If you don’t like the fruit the birds & bees sure will.

BEAUTIES AVAILABLE RIGHT NOW Begonias Bulbs

Viburnum

A classic favourite that can be used in garden, pots, hanging baskets or even as an indoor plant.

The deciduous forms of these shrubs are so easy to grow they almost thrive on neglect.

Rhododendron

Potted Peonies

These are at their peak during spring and look fabulous planted in groups.

Leucadendrons, Flannel Flowers & Proteas

Magnolias Have you noticed how pretty the magnolias are looking at the moment? The way the flowers seem to explode from nowhere is very special. Magnolias are a popular choice for home gardens, one of the reasons for this is because the shallow root system doesn’t get in the way of pipes, paths etc. There are lots to choose from – including a few that are exclusive to us here at GardenBarn that are perfect for pots. The first to bloom are Star Magnolias (stellata), with small asterisk shaped flowers that smother the tree. The trees that are looking spectacular at the moment with the larger, tulip shaped flowers are Magnolia soulangeana, commonly known as the Saucer Magnolia (soulangeana) will no doubt be catching your eye at the moment with their big blooms making the trees stand out for miles.

Witch Hazel Crab apple trees have so much to offer, flowers, foliage & fruit

Flowering Quince Chaenomeles One of the first to bloom in late winter, early spring. The flowers bloom for weeks, followed by glossy leaves then small fragrant fruit which ripen in autumn and can be used in preserves and jellies. These deciduous shrubs grow to around 1.5 high.

The sweetly fragrant, bright yellow flowers of the Hamamelis are a great welcome to spring. On warmer days the spidery petals unfurl but on cold days they curl up again.

Early blossoms on trees and shrubs are a welcome relief to bees and beneficial insects that have struggled through winter for nectar and pollen.

Radha stunned by award Chris Cogdale

chris.cogdale@age.co.nz

At just 22, Radha McGlashan is young for a coach, but her love for football and her desire to pass on her knowledge to young players has her in line to win a national junior coaching award. McGlashan, who coaches two Douglas Villa junior teams, was one of 30 people nationwide nominated for the McDonald’s Junior Football Coach of the Year awards. Winners from each of the six federations go forward for the national award. McGlashan was at work at Masterton’s Pak’nSave supermarket last Wednesday when she found out she had won the Capital Federation award. “The email popped up on my watch, and then I flicked on it so I could read the whole email. It was very overwhelming, and I was speechless. I was crying in the middle of work,” McGlashan said. McGlashan coached the Douglas Villa 11th grade Titans, and 12th grade Hotshots teams, juggling her work shifts to fit in her coaching commitments, all the more meritorious given that she has no family connection with the teams.

Capital Football Junior Coach of the Year Radha McGlashan talks tactics with her players.

Some of the attributes that factored into McGlashan winning the award were organising team-building events such as bowling and dinner; offering extra one-on-one training; helping kids get to and from training if their

parents couldn’t take them; and promoting good manners and positivity on the field. McGlashan’s love for football was nurtured from a young age by grandparents Dennis and Robyn Tapp, who ran school holiday coaching

programmes for junior players. “When I was about 14, my grandparents ran an academy, and I helped coach at that. I’d always been to their holiday programmes and participated when I was really young. When I got

older, I started helping out more, and being like the bigger role model.” As well as coaching, McGlashan still finds time to play and is a regular member of the Douglas Villa Drake side who played in the Wairarapa men’s division one.

About 250 Greytown households will have a smart water meter installed for free, as part of a trial by Wellington Water [WW] and South Wairarapa District Council. The trial is aimed to help better manage the district’s water. About 40 per cent of South Wairarapa water is lost due to leaks in water pipes. Smart metres provide real-time information on household water consumption and detect greater than normal water use that indicates pipe damage and leaks. This has the potential to help identify and fix leaks as quickly as possible, which in turn helps save water. Properties suitable for the smart meter trial have been identified by WW. Residents would be asked if they want to take part in the trial in the coming weeks.

Opinion

Lockdown cuts deep Last week, I took a limited opportunity to get my locks chopped after almost two months of my hair getting out of control. The reason I say limited is because getting an appointment at my local barber was a massive headache. Constant rescheduling along with finding a time that fitted around my schedule didn’t help either. While sitting waiting for my turn, I couldn’t help but overhear the barbers talking amongst themselves about how busy they had been and that they had bookings for months to come. Initially, I thought, “great”. It was terrific to hear that because of the hit I’m sure they would have taken during the most recent lockdown. It gave me an idea to go ask a few of the hairdressers around Wairarapa to see if they to had a backlog of bookings to deal with. I wasn’t surprised to hear that the four hairdressers and barbers I had spoken to were struggling to keep up with demand. Some of them were booked to the end of October.

CUTIE OF THE WEEK

Again, I thought that must be great for business. The more clients the better, because it meant they would be busy and accumulating revenue. However, I was surprised to hear that despite the influx of bookings, they were still very much in recovery mode. I always assumed they would have lost a lot of revenue over that threeweek lockdown period but not to the extent they were talking about. None of the businesses disclosed how much they actually had lost over lockdown, but you could see on their faces that it was still a struggle. It’s no secret that businesses are really struggling to keep themselves afloat, even the busy ones. But it made me think about the Government’s alert level system. I’ve always understood the Government’s reason

FLINDERS

to bring the country into lockdown and even supported it. But I really don’t know if businesses around the country can afford to go into another lockdown. I know the Government helps out financially in some way, but I believe it’s still not enough. I was recently told one local businessman is injecting close to $20,000 into his business just to keep it running. How long can he afford to do that? I wish I had the answers, but I’m at a loss to figure out how businesses will stop themselves from collapsing. If we go into another lockdown, which we all know will happen at the first indication of an outbreak, even if it’s one case; it’s troubling to think how business owners will respond. If the busy ones are struggling, imagine the less busy. I think many are at the last straw.

Extra

Accessible McCahon art at Aratoi The foyer at Aratoi doesn’t lead only to the gallery but is a public thoroughfare with access to Entice Cafe through one door and to the Information Centre and toilets through another. The wall space between is used by Aratoi to hang artworks that give passersby, some of whom may not usually visit an art gallery, a preview of exhibitions or a taste of the treasures in the permanent collection. Right now there are six of Aratoi’s seven Colin McCahon works there, spanning most of the 45 years of his artistic career. Born in Timaru in 1919, McCahon spent his early years in Timaru and then Dunedin, where he attended the King Edward Technical College Art School. During the summer months he cycled from Dunedin to Nelson, to work in orchards and on tobacco farms. Perhaps his fascination with the New Zealand landscape and geomorphology stems from then; landscapes, elemental and empty, are a feature of his work. Near Craigieburn [1969] an oil and sand painting in ochre and black is one of those. In 1942 he married

Colin McCahon’s art works in the Aratoi foyer.

Anne Hamblett, whose portrait [1941] is also one of the paintings owned by Aratoi. The reason why only six works can be hung at any one time is because on the reverse of the portrait is a pastel, Sheds and Scaffolding, Mapua. A small watercolour of the Carter Observatory, Wellington, also dates from this time. McCahon’s modernist style drew controversy.

The work he submitted to the Otago Art Society in 1939 was excluded because it was too abstract. However, other young artists protested and it was exhibited after all. Next McCahon moved to Nelson then Christchurch and in 1953 to Tītīrangi, eventually becoming deputy director of the Auckland Art Gallery before taking up a position as a lecturer in art at Elam.

PHOTO/SUPPLIED

By now he had incorporated religious themes into his work: the use of words in his paintings dated from 1940. These are represented in Aratoi’s collection by Take Away the Stone [1969] and A Poster for the Urewera [1975], the latter also showing how he drew on Māori history and tradition. The seventh work, Poem [1975], is one of the black and white paintings

we readily identify as McCahon, just as we do the dark landscapes and prophetic words he employs in other works. A talk at Aratoi by the author of two volumes about McCahon, Peter Simpson, had to be postponed because of the lockdown. However, the paintings of this important New Zealand artist are there to see, just inside the door at Aratoi.

insects to control the tradescantia in a sheltered initial environment. This experiment failed and was followed by an attempt by my mentor [the late Dr Neil Hayes] to control the weed by spraying. This also failed as a result of the death of adjacent plantings. Further research would have found the” willows encroaching on the lagoon” are tangoio poles sourced from the GRWC erosion control nursery to replace the “crack willow” in erosion protection when the Ruamahanga River

flows through the lagoon when in flood. The “pine slash covered in blackberry” is a work in progress awaiting stump rotting such that a dozer can be used, without damage to undercarriage, prior to disposal by safe burning. Some ninety per cent of the subject land is now planted in natives. I regret that such conservation efforts are not appreciated by Forest & Bird. Barry Silvester, QEII covenantor Greytown

School and marae combine Continuing on the theme of reconnecting with nature and each other as a solution to living sustainably in a world dealing with climate change, here is a story that demonstrates how this is happening in one of our Enviroschools. Gladstone School, an Enviroschool since 2003, is developing their curriculum, working with Mana Whenua to do this. An underutilised space is one example of how this is happening. The “embankment” has been brought to life with a focus on creating a space for pupils to have genuine environmental experiences within the school grounds in an on-going way. Pupils have uncovered plantings from the past, formed pathways, investigated what lives there and then envisioned what could be living there in the future. The direction of this initiative is underpinned

by a deep philosophical approach grounded in kaupapa Māori with the support of the marae and the Ngāti Kahungunu curriculum and resources. Consulting with the Hurunui-o-Rangi marae committee, the school decided to name the two areas of the embankment after Ngāti Kahungunu ancestors Nukupewapewa and his sister Aromea. The pupils designed and painted pou in honour of these ancestors and acted out their stories at the official opening of the embankment area. Funding for planting in 2020 came from the Matariki Tu Rākau Trust.

After offering karakia for one of the planting days, Nanny Francis from Hurunui-o-Rangi marae gets on with the mahi. PHOTO/SUPPLIED

In July 2021, the school and wider community came together for a working bee to support the pupils to maintain and further plant this area. Greater Wellington Regional Council Take Action Biodiversity Fund and the Ruamahanga Restoration Trust provided further funding for planting and materials. There was a huge turnout with people of all ages mucking in together with the tools and skills that each could contribute. “The embankment now is a place where students can continue to connect with nature in a practical way

and learn about Te Taiao and Te Ao Māori through actions, te reo and tikanga,” said Whaea Micaela, hub teacher and lead on curriculum integration of Te Ao Māori at Gladstone School. To make the initiative of providing a space for deep learning and action taking for our tamariki, succeed, it took relationships. These relationships were with our marae, our parent community, our councils, and our wider community funders. Through this coming together, we are all part of creating a community

resilient in coping and being proactive in making change for a better future, as well as, raising our tamariki as sustainable thinkers, doers and leaders, now and in the future. This is part of an in-depth article called Ancestors help bring new life to school space published in August 2021 on the Enviroschools website. • The Wairarapa Midweek has partnered with conservation groups to put a spotlight on work on conservation efforts locally.

The 2021 Tulip Festival is an opportunity to stroll through the diﬀerent garden rooms enjoying colour-themed displays planted in borders and an extensive collection of pots around the garden. Tulips are treated as border plants and used as part of perennial borders to extend the ﬂowering season rather than as a standard bedding plant. Luke, the garden creator, will be in the garden all weekend to answer any questions

about the tulips or about the garden. There will also be pots of tulips available to buy, along with a selection of cottage garden plants [cash sales only]. Longbush Cottage is now in its sixth season and will be open through to the end of March 2022 if you don’t get the opportunity to visit the tulips. The gardens change throughout the summer season – there is always an array of colours and something new to see. • The gardens can be visited by prior appointment at other times by following the links on the website, longbushcottage.co.nz

Beekeeping scholarship up for grabs Young people interested in a beekeeping career are being encouraged to apply for the annual Ron Mossop Youth Scholarship, sponsored by Mossop’s Honey and Apiculture New Zealand. The scholarship was set up three years ago as a way of giving young people the best possible start in the apiculture industry. The scholarship includes $2000 to be put towards best practice training and/ or set up costs. It also includes membership of industry body Apiculture New Zealand for a year and attendance at the industry’s national conference in the year of the award. Last year’s recipient, Bay of Plenty 18-year-old Angus Brenton-Rule, says the scholarship provided valuable support in his first year of beekeeping. As well as allowing him to buy resources to kick-start his career, Brenton-Rule welcomed the opportunity to make connections with the wider industry

Noeline and the late Ron Mossop. PHOTO/MOSSOP’S HONEY

through his membership of Apiculture New Zealand and his attendance at their June conference. “Conference was a really great opportunity to meet other beekeepers and hear about what’s happening in other parts of the country. I learnt lots.” Brenton-Rule has spent the last year working for Whakatane-based Golden Grove Apiaries says the experience has him enthused about a future in the industry.

“It’s such a fun and interesting job. I definitely see it as something I want to do long-term.” Brenton-Rule advises other young beekeepers or young people interested in a career in apiculture to apply for the scholarship. “It’s so worth it and you’ll never know unless you try. If you win, you’ll be glad you applied,” he said. The scholarship is named after industry pioneer Ron Mossop,

who started his family beekeeping businesses in the 1940s. His business was built on values of quality and integrity, which remain at the heart of Mossop’s Honey today. Neil Mossop said his family were thrilled to continue to support the next generation of beekeepers through the scholarship. “Mossops Honey is committed to best practice beekeeping and the highest levels of integrity

throughout our business. It is a privilege to be able to pass on those values to young beekeepers. We see the scholarship as a wonderful tribute to my father, who instilled those values in his family and business.” • Applications for the scholarship close on Friday, October 29. • For more information and how to apply, go to https://apinz.org. nz/scholarship-inbeekeeping/

121 to rock Tauherenikau

Sue Teodoro

In the spirit of the biggest music festivals, Tauherenikau Racecourse is getting ready to rock another three-day event this summer. Featuring music, art, installations, a market, food and drink and a wellness area, the 121 Festival aims to be one of the best boutique music festivals in the world. Organisers expect it to attract people from across New Zealand. This will be the second 121, with the ﬁrst held in 2020 a few days before lockdown. While there are contingency plans if the event is adversely aﬀected by covid-19, organisers expect the event will go ahead. Festival organiser and cofounder Olly de Salis said it would be an opportunity for people to connect, dance and be inspired. “Be it straight up disco euphoria in a Victorian ballroom, virtuoso musicianship on the live stage, heads down techno in a concrete tunnel or an unforgettable main stage set from one of our headliners,” he said. The event will be among the racecourse’s native trees and historic buildings, including

concrete bunkers and 1920s ballrooms. Across six stages, it expects to host international, emerging and heritage musicians and artists across multiple stages playing house, techno, dub, roots, soul, funk, and hip hop. The full line-up will be announced in early November. It will be about more than the music. “If you feel the need, you can re-centre yourself with yoga, enjoy a little vintage retail therapy or make a splash with a freshwater

swim in the nearby Tauherenikau River,” de Salis said. “The festival is also proud to act as an exhibition space for multimedia art, in keeping with the creative spirit that fuels every aspect of the 121 Festival.” De Salis said there was a ticket limit of 5000 and he expected good numbers. “We had a lot of people come down from Auckland last time and coupled with our close proximity to Wellington, 121 is a very attractive proposition

to people from the main centres.” People staying on-site have options including premium and general camping. Pre-pitched tents are expected to be available.

WHO IS IN CONTROL?

ADVERTORIAL WAIRARAPA SHIPWRECK

Poor repair job

proves costly

Black Warrior spent half of her ÿ rst eight months stranded on our shores before she was recovered, only to sink less than three years later. MARK PACEY writes in his occasional series highlighting Wairarapa shipwrecks.

It’s not very pretty when we look to the future. What will life be like in five years’ time? Will we all still be walking around wearing a mask and not able to see each other’s smile? It looks like more and more people are tied up in fear with all these uncertainties we are facing today. Why do people become so fearful? Is it because they can’t control their life’s circumstances? We love to be in control. But we are not. One little virus controls our world. It controls our lives. And there is the fear of death--not knowing for sure that there is nothing after this life. Many of us wish that there is nothing. But is this the truth? Please try to find out for yourself before it is too late. There must be a Creator that created everything so good, beautiful and perfect. It could never come from a big bang. A big bang only brings chaotic conditions, never in an orderly way like the way our universe works. Maybe you don’t want to think about it, but for certain you are going to meet Him, your Creator. You will be responsible to Him. Don’t push Him out of your life. For ultimately, you can’t. Maybe for a while, but not for long. The great news is that He is in control. He not only created this world but controls it, too. Isn’t this great news? He controls the day of your death. What does David say in Psalm 23:4? Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will

fear no evil: for thou art with me. When you are on God’s side, you have nothing to fear. He can give you peace in the midst of trials. Are you on his side? We can never be on His side by trusting in what we do, but only by trusting and believing in Jesus and what He has done. He gave His life. He suffered and died for people like us that can hold nothing in our control. We can’t even control our words, actions, and thoughts. Let’s give ourselves over into Jesus’ hands. Only then can I promise you that you will have a bright future. Paul was one that hated Jesus and wanted to kill every Christian, but He became a follower of Jesus. His heart was overflowing with love, joy and peace. He said “For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, not powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:38,39. When we are on God’s side we have nothing to fear, not even death. For He has all things in His hand and under control. We would love to meet you Sunday 26th September at 2pm at The Little Haven. Please bring your family, friends and neighbours. Everyone is most welcome. We serve afternoon tea.

I would love to talk to you. Please give me a call or send me an email. Contact Johan on 027 210 2768 or johannesvanrijn@hotmail.com

The history of the Black Warrior is veiled in historical obscurity. What is known is that she came to grief early in her life oﬀ the Wairarapa coast. A newspaper report on April 1, 1843, shed some light on the incident. “The schooner Black Warrior arrived in port on Wednesday from Akaroa. This vessel was stranded about four months’ since in Palliser Bay, but was lately got oﬀ and repaired and then proceeded to the French settlement from that place, and not from Wellington as stated by the Colonist. The French seem very active at Akaroa, and are rapidly progressing.” Previous notices in the newspapers state that the recovery of the Black Warrior happened in March. Going back from there, the stranding would have

taken place in December. An entry in the shipping intelligence stated that on December 9, 1842, the schooner Black Warrior, carrying a cargo of oil and bone, sailed from Port Nicholson bound for Wairarapa. She was owned by a Mr McGregor and carried one passenger, Mr Barry. It also stated that she weighed 15 tons, which helps distinguish her from other vessels of the same name. A notice in August 1842 stated that the schooner Black Warrior, 15 tons and belonging to John McGregor had been built and would be based from Port Nicholson. This means she was just four months old when she stranded. By the time she was recovered and berthed at Akaroa, she had spent half her life stranded on

our shores. After the repairs to Black Warrior, McGregor put her up for sale. In the notice, further details of her history are detailed. She was built in Whanganui, had a hull of two-inch plank and upper construction of an inch and a half planking. McGregor praised his vessel, stating that she was built in a most substantial manner and was one of the best sea boats on the coast. Black Warrior’s new owner was Mr Houghton, who purchased her for £52. Black Warrior’s published features had become more detailed and now mentioned her small draught, which enabled her to travel up rivers that are not very deep. In August, she was advertising just that. ‘The schooner Black

Warrior has been laid on as a constant trader to the River Hutt, which seems to indicate the increasing trade in that unrivalled agricultural district.’ For two years, the Black Warrior traded along the coast and up rivers. Her short career came to an end in September 1845. On the 13th, she left Ohau with a cargo of ﬂax but not long after leaving, she struck the sand bar at the entrance to the river. She sustained some damage but continued on

to Kapiti for repairs. It was later stated about the repairs, ‘for want of the proper materials and implements, this was very imperfectly done’. The Black Warrior left port before she should have, and it would cost her. After stopping over at Brown’s Island [Tahoramaurea] to drop oﬀ her cargo of ﬂax, she proceeded to Port Nicholson. She didn’t make it. Partway into the journey, the Black Warrior started

taking on water. This increased rapidly, and the crew managed to get into the small lifeboat before the Black Warrior took on too much and sank. Black Warrior had had a short but eventful life. She had travelled all around the New Zealand coast and ventured up rivers, taking and delivering cargo. She did this for just over three years before her life was extinguished well before her time.

The captain of the Erin believed he was further offshore than he was, but when he struck a rock, he realised just how dangerously close he had been. MARK PACEY writes in his occasional series highlighting Wairarapa shipwrecks. In December 1842, the Erin sailed on one of her first trips to Nelson. This was the subject of an article in the newspapers at the time. The Erin, it was stated, was built by ‘a few white settlers at the Hauriri’. She was owned by Mr Rolfe and ‘Mr –‘. Mr Dash was not his real name, but the result of a lack of thorough reporting at the time. The paper was complimentary of the Erin and said she was very well built and was about 25 tons. On this particular trip, she was delivering a cargo of coal, which she had taken on at Motupipi. The paper stated the profits the Erin was going to make on her trip. She had bought 15 tons of coal at 15 shillings a ton. She sold it for 27 shillings and sixpence a ton, which was quite a tidy profit. She was scheduled to sail back to Motupipi to collect a cargo of lime which would be brought back to Nelson to be sold. A notice said that any

builders, agriculturists, and ‘other parties desirous of obtaining a regular supply’ were advised to make early enquiries to make sure that they did not miss out. December proved to be a busy month for the Erin. While she was still at Nelson, a heavy gale arose. A correspondent called it ‘the heaviest gale which has been yet felt here’. Erin sailed into the middle of the gulf and rode out the gale with a wooden anchor. She survived with no damage. For the ﬁrst half of 1843, she travelled around the coast delivering cargo. She also oﬀered a service between the Chatham Islands and mainland New Zealand. On February 20, Dr Faddy reported the Erin had brought six German missionaries to the Chatham Islands. They joined several other Germans already there who were keen to establish a settlement to supply visiting vessels. For the second half of

the year, she was listed as being laid up in port. Interestingly, she was sharing the port with the repairing Maori Davis, who later came to grief on the Wairarapa coast. By 1844 her status had changed to ‘repairing’. She remained in port until March 23, when she sailed again to the Chatham Islands. Under Captain Relph, she sailed with a load of sundries. She brought back with her something a bit more macabre. Aside from a cargo of potatoes, she carried a large quantity of seal skins. Like whales at the time, seals were killed in large numbers, clubbed

to death by reckless hunters. Sealing was a huge industry in the 19th century. Would-be hunters visited many of the outlying islands of

New Zealand in search of prey. Some islands had to be abandoned as so many seals had been killed, it was no longer proﬁtable to sail to them.

The fate of the Erin is vague. What was published said the captain of the schooner was sailing along the Wairarapa coast and believed he was further out to sea than he was. On the night of Monday, April 22, 1844, he was oﬀ Cape Palliser when he hit a rock. Shortly after, the Erin began to break apart in the surf and soon became a total loss. This last record of Erin, published on May 15, took an optimistic approach and said ‘we are happy to say no lives were lost, and that most of the cargo is saved’. Whether any of that cargo included seal skins was unspeciﬁed.

Summer Grass evokes the heat of a Wairarapa summer, a golden, sunbleached landscape, with a native falcon surveying the remains of the camp from above. At six metres in length, it is a painting to walk by and reflect on; a lament for the Japanese soldiers who died so far from home, and a poetic meditation on our relationship to the past.

Diversity is something to be celebrated

It’s important to celebrate the differences of the many people and groups in any community or society. Diversity is something that makes a community more interesting and vibrant. Take, for example, visiting a country like Singapore; must-do activities are visiting Chinatown, Little India, and the Malay district. In our schools we celebrate language weeks and cultural festivals, giving us an understanding of how and why people and groups do what they do. While celebrating diversity is incredibly important, it’s also beneficial to look at ways in which we are all similar and united in so much of what we do. Considerable research done has identified that when we look for commonalities we tend to get on better with and like others more. This could be around a sports team, such as the

Midweek Musings

Tim Nelson All Blacks [a diverse group in itself] that a whole country gets behind every time they play. We can also look at the way in which expectations are similar, which can lead to diverse groups working together in a similar way to achieve an outcome. Diversity is something for us all to celebrate in society. We should also look to celebrate the many similarities as we unite to create positive and vibrant communities in which everyone can thrive.

Buying happiness

Minimalist Joshua Becker shared three things that you can spend your money on to make you happier. He does acknowledge that these purchases can be at diﬀerent levels, as we

all have varying amounts of money to spend. In each category a lot of a little money can be spent. Here’s what they are: Buying experiences. These can be simple everyday things or more elaborate experiences. For me, sitting in a cafe reading the newspaper is immensely enjoyable and it will cost just a few dollars. I have been fortunate to do more elaborate things, such as going to Singapore with my family for my 50th birthday, but, to be honest and although I enjoyed it, I have got as much happiness out of staying at a bach at a beach.

components of the game and based their decisions on those factors. Sometimes what we need is the thing that’s the most obvious, in Tom Brady’s case this being a quarterback who could play the game and had a history of success in the relevant area. However, we too often over complicate things, paying attention to the icing as opposed to the cake itself.

What to do right now

I heard this great advice from world-leading addiction expert Professor Anna Lembke when she was interviewed by Jim Mora on the Radio New Zealand Sunday Morning Show. Lembke’s view is that we shouldn’t all be spending too much time wondering what our passion is and how we can identify it. Many people who do can seem aimless and unsatisﬁed as they search for the Holy Grail of well-being. Chances are with this approach is that you’ll never ﬁnd it. Lembke suggests doing something that all of us can do. It may not seem like the most exciting thing in the world to start with, but it’s likely to give that spark of a feeling that change and accomplishment can happen right now, regardless of where you are and what you are doing.

I’m a fan of the iconic Tom Brady, considered to be the greatest quarterback in American Football history, having now won seven Super Bowls. Incredibly he is still playing at the very highest level of the game at the age of 44, and there’s no sign of him stopping any time soon. Why should he, there’s no one better, and if he keeps looking after himself physically and mentally he could potentially be still playing at the age of 50. Many people will be aware of the fact he was the 199th draft pick when professional teams were choosing players from college teams. I knew this and assumed that he’d had a mid-level college football career in a small team, therefore meaning this future great went unnoticed until so late in the draft. However, this wasn’t the case, Brady led his college to the most prestigious title in college football. When Brady took part in the series of trials before the draft to test many of his physical attributes he didn’t score well in any. This will be the reason why pro teams didn’t look at him. I ﬁnd this incredible, rather than look at the obvious factor, this being how well Brady performed as a player, the teams instead looked at the stats around the smaller

Positive side to reversal Continued from page 29

This is what Lembke believes we should do: ‘Look around you right now wherever you are and do what needs to be done’. How simple, yet empowering. Change can happen for the better right now. We simply need to stop over complicating things and take action. This will be the catalyst to a rich and fulfilling life.

Why a cancelled event doesn’t matter

Okay, so cancelled events you have trained for do matter, you chose the event some time ago and have put in the hours to prepare for the big day only to get the email notification informing you that the event will no longer be taking place due to covid-19. At the time it will seem that all your training has been for nothing as that final part to the process has been taken away from you, with little more than a promise for a free ticket for the following year’s event. However, there’s a far more positive position to take, with this being linked to happiness being in the pursuit and not in the goal. Step back from the initial cancellation notification and take a look at where you are physically; the

your teammates, your equipment … the list is seemingly endless. As a response to any of the factors, both positive and negative, that influence an outcome, Ryan Holiday, the Daily Stoic host, has only one answer, this being ‘you control how you play’. Ultimately there are many things that we can’t control in life, with the example of sports being one of these. The dice may have rolled in our favour or they may have rolled against us. We simply need to play the numbers that we are given and control the one thing we do have influence over, this being our own actions. Will Smith, the legendary actor and performer has a strong position on this, believing that as unfair as life may seem in so many ways, no one is going to help so we simply need to help ourselves. • Tim Nelson is principal of Lakeview School and author of the book Small Steps for a happy and purposeful life.

Making positive social connections in retirement The 1st of October is Probus Day, and the Probus community will be celebrating throughout the month of October, enjoying a wide range of events, functions and activities.

Probus South Paciÿ c CEO Silvana says “Our members frequently tell us that there is one basic truth that applies to almost everyone’s retirement years and that is the need for social interactions.

Probus originated in the United Kingdom, with the development of two community-based social clubs in the 1960s. Today it is a worldwide movement in 23 countries as a friendship club for retired and semiretired people.

“For many people retirement certainly comes with its own set of joys, challenges and goals.

Wairarapa residents have access to three Probus clubs - Masterton, Maungaraki and Takahe Wairarapa.

Probus Club membership often provides a solution for achieving retirement goals, it o° ers retirees and semi-retirees

“The beneÿ ts of socialising are well documented and have proven to have a positive a° ect both physically and mentally, particularly in the mature generation.

“There is no one blueprint for retirement as we all have di° erent interests and lifestyle - some of us even have our very own bucket lists.”

Retirement costs worsen for most groups in four years The need to draw down retirement savings to generate a reliable income has been proven by a new longitudinal study from Massey University, according to the retirement income company, Lifetime Retirement Income. It says the Massey study shows it is harder to fund retirement now than it was four years ago for many people. But the change is not universal, and some retirees in large cities are ÿ nding life a bit easier. The information comes in the latest report from the NZ Fin-Ed centre at Massey, led by Associate Professor Claire Matthews. This organisation provides regular

reports showing how much money is needed on top of NZ Superannuation (NZ Super) to pay for daily living costs. As usual, the Massey University study ÿ nds the gap is large, even for a single person living as cheaply as possible. This category is described as One Person, No Frills, Provincial, but can be more colourfully portrayed as an instant co° ee drinker in a small provincial town.

$558,000 to use as their drawdown base, living o° a combination of returns and capital. But the latest Massey University report goes further. For the ÿ rst time, it compares costs now with what they were four years ago. It ÿ nds that NZ Super makes even less of a contribution now than it did then for cost classes of retirees.

Even this person would need $162.27 a week on top of NZ Super to get by.

The provincial instant co° ee drinker would meet just 66.9% of total income from NZ Super in 2020, down from 79.8% in 2016.

A separate category is Single Person, Choices, Metro – lattes and theatre trips in the big city. This person would need $569.51 on top of NZ Super.

The urban latte lover would get 21.7% of income met by NZ Super, down from 22.9% four years ago. But there are subtle distinctions here.

For most people in retirement a wellmanaged drawdown of savings through retirement is the only way to produce this sort of income.

Many urban dwellers are paying less money in total than they did four years ago.This distinction is greatest for the single, urban latte drinker.

The instant co° ee drinker would need to have saved $159,000, while the big city latte drinker would need to have saved

The survey suggests several reasons for this, including the fact that in˛ ation is not universal and many things that

pensioners buy have risen far less than items other sectors buy such as tobacco. Spending also fell for categories like footwear and transport. The Massey University report says there are several wild cards which slightly change the impact of these changes. These stem mainly from state transfers such as the Winter Energy Payment and the Accommodation Supplement. But o° setting these advantages is a fall in home ownership rates which is already starting to a° ect the elderly. Ralph Stewart, Founder and Managing Director of Lifetime Retirement Income says the Massey Study shows how important it is for retired people to drawdown both retirement savings and investment earnings to generate a reliable retirement income to last their lifetime.

A tramper stranded in the Tararua Ranges was helicoptered out last Tuesday morning. Police Search and Rescue co-ordinator Tony Matheson said the man, 45-year-old Wellington tramper Caleb Smith, had been located at McGregor Bivouac at 2.30am. He said search and rescue had walked to him from Jumbo Hutt at midnight, encountering strong winds. Matheson said Smith and his dog were found saturated at the bivouac. The Search and Rescue team had given him some fresh clothing and made sure he was warm. They were then ﬂown out to Holdsworth. Smith said that a bad route-taking decision had led him to become stranded. He had only planned to take a day trip from

Smith had taken a tarp with him, but no sleeping bag. What else he had packed could have been the diﬀerence between life and death. Smith had good clothing, plenty of food, a personal locator beacon, maps, a cellphone with an extra battery pack, and his dog Olive. Smith had spent the night at the headwaters of the Atiwhakatu River on Sunday after making a “stupid decision” that put him on a spur between Mt McGregor and Jumbo Peak as he was battered by torrential rain and howling winds.

Smith said a “bad routemaking decision off the top of South King is what led me into this stupid position”. Wrapped in a tarpaulin, Smith and Olive “nuzzled up” and kept each other warm through the night. “Her warmth was definitely a bonus, for both of us, because I was afraid, she was freezing, so I would pull her in close.” Smith said the best moment of the whole ordeal was to see the Search and Rescue Team and put on some warm, dry clothes. “I can’t thank them enough. When they came in the door, it was the best moment. “I was massively relieved, eternally grateful and embarrassed all at the same time.” Smith wanted to thank all the search and rescue staff and volunteers, as well as Carterton-based Amalgamated Helicopters.

COUNTRY LIVESTOCK

Wetlands still part of the big plan Masterton farmer Jamie Falloon is hoping to restore six wetland areas on his farm but is concerned about some regulations and costs the venture may entail. Some of Falloon’s farm would have originally been wetland and in certain areas he’s looking to retire that land from grazing entirely and bring it back to its old and natural state. He said the project was something he had been wanting to do for quite some time, but new government regulations gave him a bit more of a push to do it. Walking through a shady bottom paddock on Falloon’s farm with a QE2 covenant running down the side, he showed me just where he’d like to put

one of his wetlands. The area was about 500m2 in total and it would cost upwards of $12,000 to restore the entire area, including fencing. “When you look of those costs, there’s $10-12,000 that’s going to give me a bit of wetland area that I can be proud of, and that’s it. I’m not making any money from it.” Falloon said it was possible to apply for funding to restore a wetland, either through QE2 if you were to turn it into a covenant, or Greater Wellington Regional Council’s biodiversity fund. He said funding could generally cover half of the cost of the restoration project. Part of the puzzle for Falloon was figuring out

where to fence off and how much area to take in order to make the project worthwhile. “It’s not going to make me any money, but it’s the right thing to do so people are getting on with it, the hard bit is getting the right advice of what to do where.” He said a lot of his information and support came from QE2 or the biodiversity team at the regional council, but he and many others had hit some “confusing” roadblocks with the regional council’s interpretation of

freshwater regulations. Falloon said some of the confusing regulation would be discouraging farmers from converting areas into wetlands. “If I make this whole area into a wetland, then it changes what I can do in the next paddock in terms of drainage,” Falloon said while pointing at the fence that would divide his wetland from productive farmland. The project is on Falloon’s horizon for next year, but first he’ll have to get resource consent from the regional council.

Regional council environmental regulation manager Shaun Andrewartha said the council supported people that wanted to restore or create a wetland. “To help, Greater Wellington offers a preapplication service, free of charge, which aids people to work out if a consent is required or not and take them through the process.” Falloon said there were some areas on the hills nearby that had water seepage areas or springs. “It’s easy to find them if you go around in summer

and just look for the areas that are still green.” Falloon said in those areas there would either be a spring or some other source of water there. He said those areas were more likely to be historic wetlands. He said the land where his wetland would go was dry land, but some historic maps would call it a wetland. “The soil says the whole area is a wetland, but when you look at it – it clearly isn’t. It would have been a long, long time ago before any uplift.”

Falloon said there wasn’t much flood protection on the river that ran through the area he intended to turn into a wetland. He said he would be nervous about where he dug, in case some of the area was already classed as a wetland, which would mean the regional council would have to assess the area for a resource consent. “To extend the wetland may be harder because it’s hard to actually get a consent to do it.” Falloon said a restoration resource

consent wouldn’t cost him anything – but he did have to have a resource plan. “Greater Wellington could say the plan is enough information, or they may say I need to provide more hydrological information” He said in the case that he needed more hydrological information he’d have to hire an ecologist to make a plan. Falloon said after that point, he could get to work. “That’s basically the process of restoring a wetland.”

I should have been. “Get the recipe from Edmonds Cook Book,” Miss 14-year-old declared with the authority of any Miss Smarty Pants. This was a typical response to anything that I was trying for the first time. Who was I to counter any such authoritative command? We all crowded around page 27. Master 13-year-old could see that it was a confusion of words and quietly drifted out the door. “Excuse me! They are not ‘stuff ’ they are ‘ingredients’.” said Miss Smarty Pants. “Mrs Clarkson in cooking said so. So there!” Who am I to argue with Mrs Clarkson? The closest I ever came to mixing up something was in a concrete mixer. Miss Smarty Pants couldn’t help herself; she had to come to the supermarket.

daughter behaviour. In this case, instead of starting at one end of the shop and progressively uplifting the appropriate ingredient when you got to it, Miss Smarty Pants tore the list from my grasp and was oﬀ to get the ingredients as they were written. I was relegated to pushing the trolley. The other shoppers applauded her initiative. With the ingredients spread across the table, it was time to get down to the mixing of the Christmas cake. All Miss Smarty Pants could do was raise her eyes

to the sky and sigh every time I made the slightest error in measuring. She became so exasperated with such a thick dad she left with the quip, “I’ll be home later.” Master 11-year-old and I were now on our own. I tried breaking the ﬁrst egg. All I could achieve was crushing it in my hand and spreading it all over the bench and down the front of the drawers. The remaining mixing is a blur of noise and confusion. I know we set the timer and temperature

on the oven correctly. However, every colour change was met with, ‘you’ve over cooked it’ and ‘you’ve ruined it.’ Even Master 11-year-old, who was so supportive, commented that it smelt funny and mum’s cakes never looked like that. You wouldn’t believe it but Miss Smarty Pants returned to see how dad’s cake was going. I’m sure she was checking on how bad the cake was. She didn’t have to wait long. At baking’s end came the skewer test. The impending

LTD

disaster attracted an audience of children. With a flamboyant flourish, I plunged the skewer into the cake. Luckily, I stopped the skewer’s plunge before it bent. It only went in 10mm. It wouldn’t penetrate any further. The cake was as solid as a rock. Miss Smarty Pants declared, ‘I told you that dad does not know what he is doing.” I just laughed and suggested it would make a good door stop and with a bit of luck she would stub her toe. When our embarrassment subsided, we agreed that we would give it to the birds as an early Christmas present. We ceremoniously delivered the offending cake to a suitable place on the back lawn. We should have taken bets as to how long it would last. Luckily, we didn’t, as it was even too hard for the birds. In the end, I unceremoniously threw it in the rubbish. My children’s school friends now call me “The rock cake baker”. Grandad Bevan • Bevan Hussey is a member of the Henley Men’s Shed writing group.

Because Hearing Consultants is an Independent Audiology clinic with no financial, ‘deals’ behind the scenes, we will always offer you the best hearing solution for you.

Gordon has been wearing hearing aids for 13 years His hearing aids use Sound Enhancer, which gives individual extra sound detail in more complex listening environments. “They saved my marriage. A quantum leap in hearing from my previous hearing aids. You can hear what is happening around you. You get the full conversation. I can have an intelligent conversation with my son and granddaughter “

Chris has been wearing hearing aids for 12 years. His hearing aids use Neural Clarity Processing, so they mimic brain learning. The brain learns from millions of real-life sounds and these hearing aids do the same. They have been trained using 12 million everyday-life sound scenes.

Team’s poor discipline punished RUGBY

Sport

Chris Cogdale Poor is the only word to describe Farriers Wairarapa-Bush’s heavy loss to Thames Valley in the opening round of the Heartland Championship. Poor discipline and poor execution led to a poor outcome – a 10-42 defeat at Trust House Memorial Park on Saturday. The poor discipline had two players red-carded for dangerous high tackles, and a third sin-binned, all in a chaotic nine minutes early in the second half. The first to feel the wrath of Canterbury referee George Haswell was replacement halfback Inia Katia, whose playing time lasted all of three minutes after he was sent off in the 51st minute for a high tackle on Thames Valley winger Tevita Halafihi. Katia was joined on the

sidelines by No 8 Joe Tako, who was shown a yellow card after he ran 20m to join the ensuing melee and pushed a Thames Valley player in the back. Wai-Bush were well in the game at 10-18 down, and the discretions galvanised the 13 men, who lifted their defensive effort and denied the visitors. That was until a moment of recklessness by James Pakoti saw the home side reduced to 12 men for two minutes. The experienced hooker was shown a red card after his shoulder appeared to come into contact with the head of flanker Ben Stevens, who was knocked unconscious and lay prone on the ground for at least 10 minutes while he was treated. The wealth of possession finally told on the home side and the Swampfoxes ran in four tries in the last

More action from Saturday’s game. Referee George Haswell sends Joe Tako to the sin bin.

15 minutes to go with their two in the first half for a comfortable bonus -point victory. The poor execution was simply the failure to do the basics well. Kick-offs out on the full, penalty kicks failing to make touch, not once but three times, simple knock-ons gifting the opposition prime attacking positions, and

coughing up possession in wrong parts of the field. Wai-Bush were made to pay for their first transgression after four minutes when a knockon gifted the visitors an attacking scrum and fullback Telley Hemepo crossed wide out. The teams traded penalties, before big prop Josh Kaho crossed for the

first of his two tries after a quick tap penalty on the 22m from another WaiBush indiscretion. The home side closed the gap to five points on halftime when winger Moomoo Falaniko burrowed over after a sustained period of attack, but that was as good as it got. For Wai-Bush, flanker

and captain Johan van Vliet was a colossus on defence and at the breakdown, forcing several turnovers. Experienced lock Andrew McLean turned in another work horse effort at set piece and in the loose, while prop Lewis Bush, and blindside flanker Jake Goodger had their standout moments, but otherwise it was a second-rate effort

against a Swapfoxes side, who were made to look good by Wai-Bush’s shortcomings. Overall, it was a poor stop-start game, not helped by referee Haswell blowing more than 40 penalties. It doesn’t get any easier for the green and reds over the next two weeks, with games away to traditionally strong provinces South Canterbury and Whanganui, and they

are almost certain to be without Katia and Pakoti for those games and potentially more.
