Gold Star firefighter mourned Hayley Gastmeier

Martinborough is mourning the loss of senior firefighter Garry Jackson, who died suddenly last Friday. Jackson, 67, was wellknown and respected for being a kind, communityminded man who put others first. His stint as a volunteer firefighter spanned just shy of 50 years with Martinborough Fire Brigade, where he was fire chief between 1992 and 2014. Jackson was awarded his gold star medal after 25 years in the service. His loyalty was also demonstrated by a 41-year-long career at Pain and Kershaw [P&K] supermarket, where he started working aged 15, and then worked his way up to the grocery manager’s position. Born in Martinborough, Jackson more recently worked for Tranzit driving the Kahutara School bus. He leaves behind his new wife, Dianna, whom he married at their “open invite” wedding on Labour weekend last October. Jackson also leaves behind his three children, Jason, Susanne, and Amy, whom he had with his late first wife Margaret, his eight grandchildren, and siblings, Donald, Laureen, and Rex.

Garry Jackson, right, and Martinborough firefighters Wayne Thomas, left, Dean Di Bona, and Sparky Goad, who helped battle a scrub fire in 2013.

His son, Jason, said his father was extremely generous with his time and an exceptional role model with his “strong sense of community”. “He was much-loved and the rock of our family – an amazing dad who did anything for us.” Former P&K manager David Kershaw said Jackson was a long-time friend who he described as being “a very loyal and conscientious guy”. Martinborough fire chief Bill Butzbach said the brigade was devastated and it was working to support Jackson’s family. “It’s such a terrible tragedy and naturally we

are pretty shocked, as are many people in the town.” He said Jackson was just months away from receiving his 50-Year Long Service Medal, a rather rare feat, and for many years he was “the glue” that held the brigade together, keeping membership up and camaraderie at a high. Butzbach said Jackson had time for everyone and always went out of his way to help others, particularly the elderly, with whom he would socialise and do odd jobs for them such as mow their lawns. “Because of his kind nature, people remembered him, even if

they only met him once.” South Wairarapa Mayor Viv Napier said the district had lost “an amazing community stalwart”. She said his longevity with the fire service was a testament to his caring nature. “Everyone knew Garry. The community has lost a key person and it’s just so sad and tragic.” A service for Jackson will be held at the Martinborough Fire Station on Friday, at 1pm. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations are made to Suicide Prevention through the Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand.

Life Flight’s ‘challenging’ rescue of hunter Gianina Schwanecke It was one of the most difficult winch rescues of Life Flight crewman Mike Beausoleil’s career, after a hunting trip gone wrong. Beausoleil was operating the winch on the night of December 17, when the Life Flight crew responded to a hunter who had badly broken his leg after falling from a cliff in the Haurangi Forest Park. Masterton man Joe Bannister had set off with his friend Dave McKay

earlier that day. He was carrying a young deer which he had just shot down a steep hill across a cliff face when the ground gave way, causing him to fall 40 metres below and seriously injure his leg. “On the way down my boot got caught in some bedrock sticking out from the side. “It cranked my foot at right angles, ripped all the ligaments off my ankle and broke one of the bones below the knee.”

The incident happened just after 9pm and the two hunters knew Bannister would not be able to walk out on his own. “It’s very isolated and it was right on dark. “I took one hoppy step with my boot kind of swinging and [McKay] said ‘there’s no way you’re getting out with that’.” Bannister used his personal locator beacon to broadcast an emergency message and his location to the Rescue Coordination Centre.

“It was one of the trickier winching jobs they had done, because of the height and the wind. “They couldn’t get me out because of the trees so we had to move about 30 metres down the riverbed.” Beausoleil and the helicopter crew arrived around 11pm, by which time it was dark and difficult to see. He said it was one of the most challenging jobs of his career. “A very high winch due to the steepness of the

valley, high winds in the lee side of the mountain and extremely dark. “The medic had to stand in the river as it was the only area clear of trees to winch out.” After being taken to Wellington Hospital, Bannister still has several weeks of recovery ahead of him but is very grateful to the Life Flight team for rescuing him. The Masterton couple have a long association with Life Flight, as Suzanne works as a nurse

at Wairarapa Hospital and Joe has previously volunteered for Search and Rescue with Life Flight co-founder, the late Peter Button. Bannister said he was glad he had his locator beacon to hand. He uses it almost daily as a sheep and beef farmer. “It would have been a very different story without my locator beacon. “They are worth their weight in gold.”

Interior Design Service The team at Country Life Interiors have become my interior design family, I love them! Carl, Toni, Kate and Mike helped us transform our beautiful Greytown Villa to our absolute dream home. Over less than six months we changed every surface; walls, floors, light fittings, curtains, kitchen, bathrooms, updated all of the furniture and re-upholstered old favourites. Country Life was responsible for the curtains, furniture and re-upholstery, but their advice was not limited to what they were sourcing for us, they went above and beyond on every level. They were always on hand to offer additional advice and second opinions when I was having a meltdown over a decision! and followed up with further ideas on anything IÂ asked. Not to mention how wonderful they were with their pickup and delivery service. WeÂ are so impressed, and can not wait to work with them again. I need another project!

Shearer’s death leaves void

Single-vehicle crash: First road fatality in Wairarapa this year Elisa Vorster The Martinborough shearing scene has been dealt a devastating blow after losing the man who was known for being happiest “with a sheep between his legs”. PJ Hawkins, otherwise known as Jox, was killed on his way to work last Wednesday morning in a single vehicle accident on Millars Rd, in the Carterton district. Simon Dennes of Shear Expertise said the whole team were struggling to come to terms with the loss. “It’s hard to believe the next time we go to work, he won’t be there.” Dennes had known Hawkins for about 20 years, having led shearing teams on the farm. He said he was a man who had touched many lives and was known for his incredibly high standards right across the national shearing fraternity. “He was a real team man with a whole lot of leadership qualities and he was hugely generous to the new guys with his time and knowledge,” Dennes said.

The damaged vehicle being towed from Millars Rd.

“It’s an incredibly tough industry but he was a bloody master at what he did.” Instead of going to work last Thursday, the staff, immediate friends and family all gathered at the accident scene on

PHOTO/ELISA VORSTER

Millars Rd to take part in a blessing, led by one of Hawkins’ workmates. “I found it hugely helpful,” Dennes said. “We wanted to make it a place of happiness and remembrance instead of somewhere where

something horrible took place.” People left flowers there, turning it into what Dennes described as “a very different scene to what I turned up to that morning”. Unfortunately for

JP Hawkins, otherwise known as ‘Jox’ doing what he knew best. PHOTO/SUPPLIED

Dennes, he was one of the first on the scene after the accident happened. The team were to meet

at the turn off point to Flat Point on Wednesday morning as they were planning to travel in vans to Glenburn Station. When he didn’t turn up on time, Dennes decided to drive out to see where he was. “I hoped like hell I would turn up to his driveway in Martinborough and find he had just slept in.” But when he got to Millars Rd, emergency services had just arrived. “At that stage there was nothing anybody could do,” he said. Some of the team were planning to get back to work soon to keep themselves busy and to honour their workmate. “The sort of bond among shearers is hard to describe,” Dennes said. “When you’re working mentally and physically at full capacity, it goes beyond the day-to-day relationships. “Some of them just want to get back to it – as PJ would say, he was happiest when he’s got a sheep between his legs.” Hawkins leaves behind his fiancé, Muriwai, and two children.

From worse to worse on stage Comment

Graeme Burnard Continuing my recollections of good and bad times during my 30-plus years on stage, there was another play where things went from worse to worse. Is that a car door I hear? This was my attempt at adlibbing when a group of us were waiting on stage for a detective to arrive (a knock at the door was expected) and we couldn’t go any further without them. “I will go and see who it is” I said and rushed off stage. The two detectives who were both taking part in their very first play, were sitting at the table in the green room chatting away oblivious to the fact that one of them was supposed to be on stage. “You’re supposed to be on”, I yelled, grabbing the lady detective and dragging her on to the stage. “Look who I found lurking outside”, I said. No response! “Well, what do you want?” I said. “This isn’t my part.

You grabbed the wrong detective,” she said. With a flurry of activity we swapped detectives and carried on as though nothing had happened. Such fun! The worse thing a director could say to me was, ‘We won’t be having a prompt during performances”. When I first started acting we always had a prompt. Right through rehearsals and then, during the show. I have a reputation for struggling to learn lines but once I have them down I am fine. Knowing there is a prompt in the wings can be very comforting. It is now quite common NOT to have a prompt. Many of the directors will say, if anything happens, get yourselves out of trouble. I disagree with that. We are not professional actors. Most of us don’t have training or the skills to “get ourselves out of it”.

Without a prompt in the wings of the stage, a play can go from “worse to worse” very quickly.

I have seen scenes disintegrate when things go wrong, and all for the sake of not having someone in the wings to throw you a couple of lines to get you back on track. And when a scene falls apart it is very hard to get back on track. I recall another

production where we were all surprised when we came off stage at half time to see how early it was. The stage manager informed us that we were early because we had missed a large chunk out including vital information that pertained to the ending of the play.

What to do! Do we rewrite the ending quickly? Do we tell the audience and go back and include the missed bits or do we carry on as though nothing has happened? We decided on the last option and the audience either never noticed or

GARDEN

YARN

Gardening – It’s good for the

day. Trim by butting each stem to a mature growth eye that points in the right direction (usually the third from the top of each stem is the best). Don’t cut into thick wood, this needs to ripen for winter pruning. If you trim each lateral you will get good results. Remember: the earlier the trimming takes place, the quicker the start of the growth will be. Some roses take a few days longer to open blooms than others depending on variety – adapt your trimming to suit your roses.

soul

NOW IT’S TIME TO SPRAY This will control black spot, rust & mildew. We recommend Combat 3-in-1. This product has had such great reviews we sometimes have trouble keeping up with demand (we’re the only supplier in Wairarapa). This is a fungicide, insecticide and also contains the fish fertiliser Ocean Grow.

Hopefully you are all rested and recovered from the hectic Festive Season, and feeling positive about the year ahead. Gardening is a great way to unwind. There’s always something to do in the garden, and always something to read to make your garden better and better! SPECIAL EVENT IN AUTUMN COMING UP? TRY THESE TIPS TO ‘FORCE’ YOUR ROSES TO BLOOM AT THE RIGHT TIME! If you have a special event in the near future and you want to encourage your roses to look ‘Blooming Great’ then there’s a special technique you can do. Even if you don’t have an event, it could be an interesting experiment to try out. SET YOUR DATE AND COUNT BACK 10 WEEKS Start by withholding water for two weeks to slow down growth and ‘rest’ the bushes. After two weeks of ‘dry’, water the beds thoroughly, making sure the moisture penetrates into the subsoil. You’ll be ready to prune in one more week, so ensure you have clean, sharp secateurs (we

WITH

A FEW FINAL BITS Keep the soil damp but not sodden. Keep working the soil surface over to let the air penetrate and harmful gases get out. Stake new growths that come from the basal plate. After they have flowered let the seed heps form (this will ripen the wood for winter pruning). Trim weeping standards such as the American Pillar, cutting down the flowering stems to the 3rd and 4th leaflet from the main branch. Remove any old spent stems, as it’s the young growth that’s important for renewal purposes.

have a great range at GardenBarn) and some pruning paste to cover the cuts (blight spores are around at this time of year). NOW IT’S TIME TO HEAVILY FEED Use a quality rose food such as Kings Rose Food and some animal manure (such as Tui Super Sheep Pellets). Water the beds again and stir the surface soil to allow air penetration. You will be now about seven weeks from your blooming date, and the leaf axil should be swelling, ready to break into growth.

No matter when you want your roses to bloom, keep ican Blood & Bone spread over the rose bed (take care if you have dogs). This will keep the soil alive with nutrients to support the autumn flowering.

NOW IT’S TIME TO PRUNE If April 27 is the big day then February 27 would be trimming Keep your garden shed stocked up with the above three products and you’ll be sorted for all your Rose Care.

BEAT THE BUGS: There are number of pests that become a nuisance at this time – so we encourage you to get on top of this now before they get out of hand.

Carterton

An explosion of colour The annual Carterton Colour Run proved a blast for young and not-soyoung alike last Friday. Held at Carrington Park, it attracted a large crowd whose privilege it was to be doused in water and covered in several colours of paint powder. Hosted by Rangatahi to Rangatira Carterton and the Wairarapa Youth Council it was all good, clean, fun … well, not so much clean. Money raised by gold coin entries will go towards youth work in Wairarapa.

The Wilkie-Jaspers family had fun at the run.

12 Wairarapa Midweek Opinion Wednesday, January 23, 2019 EDITORIAL

MIDWEEK PHOTOS

Opinion

Let’s embrace empathy One of the best qualities you can have in this world is empathy. To be able to put yourself in the shoes of another person and feel the pain they are feeling, cry the tears they are crying, and rejoice in their time of joy is the best magic in the world. Empathy is the fabric that stops wars, it reconciles us, and it is the best part about humanity. In my job, I come across some amazing stories of courage, rising above hardship, tragedy, and recovery. These are your stories, Wairarapa. And it is your stories that bring me to tears at least once a week. Tears of joy, happiness, despair – and I wouldn’t have it any other way. We live in a society that is increasingly promoting the messages of how it is “okay for men to cry”. But actually, I want to promote the message that it is okay for any of us to cry – and if these are empathy-induced tears, all

Piece of mind

Emily Ireland the better. This week I interviewed two lovely people, Dr Stuart Bruere, and Zelda Bruce. Dr Stuart is the most passionate person I have ever met. He’s been in his profession for 40 years and hasn’t lost an ounce of empathy for creatures great and small. He’s also helped farmers through some pretty tough times. As he spoke of the mental health issues rife in the rural sector, he welled up. “Sorry,” he said, as he began to cry. “Don’t say sorry,” I said. His tears were beautiful and a testament to his passion. They say a picture tells a thousand words – well a single tear can tell the whole story.

Have you got a photo you want to share with Wairarapa? Whether it’s a reader photo, a cutie, or a snap of you with your Midweek, email it to midweek@age.co.nz with ‘Midweek Photo’ in the subject line, and it could be featured in this segment.

CUTIE OF THE WEEK

In the world of communications and journalism, the magic of empathy can be seen as a weakness – people worry that it may get in the way of a story, they worry that it may not be seen as professional, that it casts doubt on your ability to look at a situation with a level head. I disagree. What is the most important thing in the world? He tangata, he tangata, he tangata (the people). And being able to understand people – truly and sincerely understand them – is what will bring success to any organisation and publication. Thank you Wairarapa for embracing this empathetic editor – let’s make it okay to cry.

MAKING A WILL Why should I make a Will? A Will allows you to say how your property is to be distributed when you die. It can also determine how you want your children looked after, say what you want to happen to your body, and set out what sort of funeral you would like. Because you can make the most appropriate allocation of your assets, a Will may reduce family conflict after you die. Your Will is an opportunity to structure your affairs in a way that can greatly assist your family. For example, restructuring asset ownership in conjunction with an appropriately prepared Will may assist your partner to become eligible for a rest home subsidy.

RIDERS FROM $7,499* *model R216

If I don’t have a Will, what happens to my property? If you don’t have a Will, the Administration Act and/or the Property Relationship Act determines how your property is distributed. It does not all go automatically to your spouse or partner. Rather it is divided between various relatives in certain proportions. In our experience most people would not choose to divide their estate up in this way. A carefully drafted Will can minimise exposure to means testing. If I don’t have Will, what happens to my children? If you make a Will you can name people who will act as guardians for your children. A guardian is responsible for decisions regarding custody, education and religion. Guardians do not necessarily have day to day care of your children, but they do decide

who will, and also ensure they are properly looked after. If you don’t have a Will someone (who ever feels they should) applies to the Court for a guardian to be appointed. That can lead to conflict if several people in a family believe they are best placed to care for your children. What do I need to put in my Will? The first thing a Will does is to revoke any previous Wills. You should appoint at least one and preferably two executors and trustees. These are the people entrusted with carrying out your wishes after you die, so they should be people you trust implicitly. You may want to consider appointing an independent person such as your lawyer or your accountant to act as a trustee. This can be especially useful if there is a difficult family situation. The trustees arrange to pay your debts and funeral expenses. You can appoint who you would like to act as guardians for your children if you and the other parent of your children both die. You can say if you want to be buried or cremated, and can specify funeral arrangements. You can make gifts of certain property or money to specific people or charities. This provides certainty and can be very important in delicate family situations. You can write off debts to a family trust or leave assets in trust for special purposes, such as an education fund for grandchildren.

14 Wairarapa Midweek Extra Wednesday, January 23, 2019 ARATOI KEEPERS

Letter ‘H’ is for Home Come and meet the Masterton artist Helene Carroll, who created The Alphabet Series, 26 small paintings currently on display at Aratoi, that combine the child’s ABC’s with the history of the Holocaust – this is the ‘H’ painting. On Saturday, January 26, from 11am to noon, she will talk about the paintings full of colour, symbols and her life history. “The alphabet is a known structure which is

How did you find out about volunteering at Fire and Emergency New Zealand? I had a close friend of mine who dragged me down one night. At first, I was pretty hesitant but once I got stuck in I really enjoyed it. It is a great way to meet new people and really do something special for my community. What inspired you to be a volunteer? I don’t really have an inspiration. For myself it’s more of a sense of duty to my community and everyone out there in the public. I’m just doing my part. What do your family and friends think of your volunteering role? My friends and family have always been 100 per cent supportive of my decision to join the brigade.

My family is proud to say that I’m a firefighter and my son is forever telling me he wants to join when he is bigger so he can be just like me. What are some of the positive impacts volunteering has had on your place of employment/ employer? My employment has really taken a shine to my skills learned within the fire service. Being able to add me as a first aider is the first, but it also has led me to sit in with the health and safety representatives during the monthly meeting.

It is not called an art practice for nothing. I am continuing to practise and am slowly building up a vocabulary with which I can share my ideas with anyone who might like to engage in this dialogue.” ‘The Alphabet Series’ is a recent acquisition to the Aratoi collection, the only public collection of art in the Wairarapa. The paintings are on display until March 31, 2019.

constant and unchanging, whereas the Holocaust for those who weren’t there is almost impossible to comprehend,” Carroll says. “My art practice over the years has been about trying to find a language with which to express my ideas. It has been a way of trying to honour the memory of those who perished in the Holocaust and of bearing witness. I feel that I am a memorykeeper for my children and their children.

What would you say to someone who is thinking about volunteering? I would tell them it’s not easy and it’s not for everyone. There are low points and obstacles to push through. But we are all here to support each other. We work like a family to push each other forward. This is what I love about volunteering. The family and the challenges. How do you relax/ recharge? Spending time with friends and family is big for me. Taking my 6-year-old son out for ice cream or hot chocolate is great stress relief. Other than volunteering, what do you do in your spare time? I play rugby for Masterton Red Star, as well as Wairarapa Bush B’s. I also try to get to the gym a few times a week. And sleeping is always high up on my list of jobs to do. Who has been the biggest influence in your life? Mum and Dad are obviously big influences. Without them I would not be who I am. I have plenty of older siblings who I look up to and who inspire me.

Siri is named after Sirius Black of Harry Potter. Sadly, she’s not herself – she has got cat flu. But she wanted to see if anyone out there would love her so she can start packing her bags for once she is well. She has a tiny white patch on her chest and tummy. Siri loves snuggles and play-time equally. Send us your email address if you’re keen to take her home. Her adoption fee is $140. She is ready for adoption on Valentine’s Day.

A home for a pet

Allow me to introduce myself ... My name is Lucas

And I am a 7 month old, male, medium mixed breed. Coloured: Black/Brown. Here’s a bit of an insight into my background and personality: “I was found as a stray pup who was never claimed. I am now on the look out for a loving family that can give me the home I deserve.” I am a fun loving boy who loves meeting new people and getting loads of attention. I have had some basic training in the past as I am very keen to learn and I love working for food! I have the potential to be a tall, lanky boy so I will need a family that are used to dogs and giving them the exercise, training and attention they need.

“Any public institution relies on strong connections with the community,” said Aratoi Director Susanna Shadbolt. “As both a public museum and a registered charity, Aratoi is grateful to Gavin Chilcott and Michele Hewitson, and for all the support that our museum receives from the community: the evidence is the exhibition currently on display: about 30 recent acquisitions to our public collections.”

Shadbolt said she remembered the day she visited Gavin Chilcott’s studio by the Waingawa River. “It was one of those beautiful Wairarapa days when everything seems to go right, and he kindly offered the ‘Nature – Design and the Cosmos’ for the window design. “It is very rare to be donated art, and the Wairarapa is fortunate to have this work in our region. “The window film is

effective, adds colour to the building and to Bruce St, shows a beautiful item from our collection to the public, and as the year 2019 marks our 50th year, it is also a celebration.” • ‘Nature – Design and the Cosmos’ is on display in Aratoi’s main gallery, until January 27, as part of ‘New Arrivals – Recent Acquisitions from the Collection’.

Notice is given under section 56(1)(b) of the Fire and Emergency New Zealand Act 2017 that a Restricted Fire Season has been declared from 0800 Monday 14th January 2019 covering all areas within the Wairarapa District (Urban and Rural) until revoked or amended by Fire and Emergency New Zealand.

RESTRICTED FIRE SEASON

A new colourful design is installed on the windows at Aratoi, protecting staff against summer heat, thanks to the generosity of artist Gavin Chilcott and journalist Michele Hewitson who gifted the artwork to the museum. The window film features an enlargement of ‘Nature – Design and the Cosmos’ by the internationally regarded and Wairarapa-based artist Gavin Chilcott. Completed in 2018, the mixed media artwork contains several of his signature symbols: eye, spruce and swallow. The film replaces a wide blind, about two metres long, that had been in use since 2002 and broke in the middle of last year. When the replacement cost proved prohibitive, Aratoi looked at alternatives. Gavin Chilcott creates prints, carpets, furniture, ceramics, paintings, interiors, boxes, paper bags and more. He attended Auckland Technical Institute and Elam School of Fine Arts, has exhibited widely nationally and internationally, has received numerous QEII grants, and is represented in all public New Zealand collections, including Aratoi’s. This is the not the first time he has collaborated on a project with Aratoi. In 2018, he contributed a work a fundraiser.

THE PGA IS COMING TO TOWN The Recreational Services-sponsored Masterton Eketahuna Pro-Am is the premier event on the Wairarapa golfing calendar. Since 2004 the Masterton Eketahuna Pro-Am has provided an opportunity for amateur golfers to play with professional golfers, such as Tim Wilkinson; Mark Brown and Olympian Ryan Fox. Last year’s winner, Wairarapa boy Ben Campbell, went on to finish tied third with four-time major winner Ernie Els at the Fiji International. The tournament is sanctioned by the NZPGA as part of the Pro-Am circuit and counts for PGA Order of Merit points. The format of the twoday tournament is very popular and historically draws a top quality field of professionals from within NZ and Australia. The tournament’s two days of team golf are played on two unique golf courses – Eketahuna and Masterton. The competition is 3-ball best ball stableford. There is a $500 shootout each day with amateur team prizes worth $10,000 on offer. This year Fagan Motors have sponsored a Ford Focus as prize for the first person to score a hole in one on the third hole at Lansdowne. Since 2004 Recreational Services have maintained the region’s parks and sports grounds for Masterton District Council. Their work on garden displays and their overall service were a key component in Masterton winning the title of the most beautiful city in New Zealand in 2017.

Featherston FULL OF FLAVOUR

C’est Cheese smile bigger than ever

Plenty of room to explore at For The Love of BOOKS

If you haven’t popped into C’est Cheese lately, be prepared to be impressed. Owner Paul Broughton has put an immense amount of time, energy and skill into extending the business to the premises next door. What was once a cafe/restaurant is now a deep and spacious cheese-centric deli where cheese is the “hero ingredient”.

You never know what you will find at “For The Love Of BOOKS”. The mostly second-hand bookshop has a huge range of subjects, genres and authors.

C’EST CHEESE HAS MOVED! C’est Cheese

AN HISTORICAL FICTION TITLE BY PAUL W FEENSTRA! For the Love of Books

You will still find all products that have made C’est Cheese super popular, but the extra space has allowed cabinets and shelving for a lot more, from Mexican canned cuisine to Gladstone olives, specialist honeys and cured meats. C’est Cheese now has a dedicated area for making and serving its own “Remutaka Pass” coffee, a strong flavoured roast made to Paul’s specifications by Martinborough’s Neighbourhood Coffee. All staff, including Paul, are trained baristas. “For years, people have been asking us to sell coffee,” says Paul, “and on the 15th of December - five years to the day since we first opened - we served our first coffee.”

“If you know you like crime thrillers or historical fiction, for example,” she says, “you can go to that section and discover authors you might not have read before. “We specialise in a little bit of everything and most people find something that will excite their interest.”

DINE OUT AT, The Royal Hotel

The shop, opposite the Cenotaph in Featherston, has wide aisles, making it easy for mums to push a stroller around, while older children can be entertained in the play area while parents browse. The wide aisles also make it easy for people in mobility scooters and wheelchairs to move around.

Located in a town with a population of less than 2500 residents, C’est Cheese is reminiscent of a deli you would find in New York with a population of 8.5 million.

To complement its main focus on secondhand books, “For The Love Of BOOKS” has a selection of new and recent releases. Jennifer is always interested in hearing from local authors and is happy to display and sell their books.

And while you will find everything you need for an anti-pasto platter, what makes C’est Cheese unique is its focus on cheese. Paul continues to work on the launch of Remutaka Pass Creamy, which will produce a range of blue cheeses made from locally sourced organic milk. Remutaka Pass Creamery is based in his purpose-built factory within C’est Cheese.

To steer you in the right direction, owner Jennifer Grey has carefully categorised the books into easy-to-find sections.

One of the popular New Zealand books she currently has on display is “The Breath of God”, an historical fiction title by Paul W Feenstra set during Taranaki land wars of the 1860s (pictured). “For The Love of Books” has a late night on Fridays, closing at 9pm, which allows those who work during normal business hours, and who have busy weekends, the opportunity for unhurried tranquillity while exploring the vast range of books on offer.

As well as selling the cheese directly to the public, Paul will be offering a cheese-based menu which customers will be able to enjoy at tables in C’est Cheese, with a view into the cheesemaking factory.

If Friday evening shopping isn’t your thing, “For the Love of BOOKS” is open Monday to Friday, as well as all day Saturday from 9.30am to 5.30pm.

C’est Cheese is open every day from 9am to 6pm (7pm Fridays) at 19 Fitzherbert Street (intersection of SHs 2 & 53) Featherston.

When a failure isn’t a failure Lakeview School principal TIM NELSON endeavours to learn something new every day by reading books, listening to podcasts, and engaging with a wide range of other content. Midweek Musings

Tim Nelson Keep getting better

Great advice shared in a quote from W. L. Sheldon: “There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self”. The reason that this is such great advice is that it’s entirely up to you. Whatever it is that you are looking at improving, it is totally within your power to do it, from saving money to learning how to cook. It can be seen as a continuous journey to mastery, with a key part being in appreciating and enjoying the journey.

How to achieve your

goals and resolutions

Being the start of a new year, now is the time in which new resolutions and goals are set. Many of these will be the same as those that were set but not achieved in the past, yet the ticking over from one year to the next gives us the feeling that anything is possible. However, numerous research studies have shown that by the end of January most have been cast aside and forgotten. To give resolutions and goals a much bigger chance of succeeding the Efficiency Podcast team suggests the following three steps: 1. Commit your goal to

writing and make sure that you see it many times a day. This could be a screen saver, a card in your wallet, a sticky note on your bathroom mirror or fridge – anything to make it visible. 2. Make a plan to achieve the goal and ensure it’s realistic. If your goal is to run a 10km event, start with something that you know you can stick to, such as two 15-minute runs a week. Making your goal unrealistic, for example, running every day when you’ve never managed to do so before, is a sure-fire recipe for failure.

3. Commit your plan to your calendar and treat it like an important appointment or meeting. All three steps are very doable as will increase your chances of success exponentially.

When a failure isn’t a failure

In an earlier column, I shared the project set up by The Minimalists to build a grocery store in Dayton, Ohio. They had a plan to raise $100,000 to get the project done. By the time the fundraising drive finished, the target had not been reached, falling short with a total of $70,000. However, rather than

treating this as a failure, Joshua and Ryan, The Minimalists, discuss on their podcast the fact that it has been a success; they have raised $70,000 for the store to be built. It might not be the full amount that was set as the target, but it is still a large amount that will lead to the goal being achieved. The same thought process could be set for goals in our own lives. For example, setting the goal of losing 20kg in a year but only losing 15kg isn’t a failure, it’s a 15kg success; you are in a much better place than you were when the target was set despite ‘failing’ to meet the predetermined goal.

Don’t do it all for them

I am really enjoying the new Maria Kondo Netflix programme, Tidying Up. The programme sees Maria helping families who have become overwhelmed with their disorganised homes. Maria makes an initial visit to meet the family and to see what needs to be done to get them organised. The beauty of the programme, and what I think will lead to families maintaining the systems that Maria teaches them, is that she shares and models a proven technique and methods, then gives the family their ‘homework’ to complete over the next week or so. This process continues

until the house is organised. The whole thing is definitely hard work for the family concerned. If the programme simply had Maria visiting and explaining her process, then a team of helpers getting everything done, I don’t think there would be any long-term benefit, and the family would revert back to being as messy and disorganised as they had previously been. However, because the family has to do almost everything together and as a team I believe that, because they have put in the effort to apply the system, the benefits will be maintained as it’s more likely for them to appreciate what it took to regain control over their environment.

When starting a new habit, stop when things are going well

James Clear is an expert on forming and maintaining new habits. His systems and strategies are outlined in his fantastic book Atomic Habits. In an interview on The Minimalists Podcast (which, fittingly, was released on New Year’s Day), James shared the idea of stopping a task that is part of a new habit when things are going well, even if you’re in a state of flow, as opposed to ‘emptying the bucket’ and working

until you can do no more. The reason for this is that you will be in a position next time you are working on whatever your habit involves in which you are picking up from a positive place, meaning that you are more likely to be motivated to get started.

How polyglots learn multiple languages

I saw an excellent TED Talk recently in which the presenter, a polyglot (someone who can speak multiple languages), shared her insights into how people manage to achieve this ability. After interviewing multiple people at a polyglot conference, she found that the following four factors are key: 1. Enjoyment of learning languages. 2. Having a method that you can apply (which can vary greatly from person to person). 3. Putting in place a system to apply the method, such as doing lessons for 30 minutes three times a week. 4. Patience, knowing that worthwhile things usually take time. Looking at these four factors it is easy to see how they could be applied to anything. For example, replace ‘language learning’ with ‘learning to play the piano’; results will come through applying the very same four steps.

After nearly four years, Wairarapa District Health Board [DHB] chief executive officer Adri Isbister has announced her resignation as she looks to start a new job at the Ministry of Health. Isbister’s resignation will take effect from March 25 this year when she leaves to take on a new role as deputy director general disability at the ministry. She said it had not been easy making the decision to transition to the new role, but she was ready to accept a “new challenge”. She said she was proud of what staff, executives, and the board had achieved during her three and a half years at the DHB. Isbister oversaw the introduction of the Health Care Homes initiative, a primary care service. “I am extremely proud of all that Wairarapa DHB provides for the health and wellbeing of

Register your baby’s name online Charlotte and Oliver remain New Zealand’s most popular baby names, taking the top spots once again in 2018.

Mia and Nikau are the most loved Maori names, both overseas and here in New Zealand. The full list of top baby names is available on SmartStart, an online tool for new parents. Jeff Montgomery, Registrar-General Births, Deaths and Marriages, says registering your baby is an important step. It ensures your child has an official identity, and can access their legal rights as they grow up. Doing so is now even easier as SmartStart centralises those services in one easy-to-use site, he says. “The last thing new parents want to be doing is filling out a raft of forms. SmartStart is a free, fast, and efficient way to register your child, obtain an IRD number, and even adjust a Ministry of Social Development benefit. You can complete those tasks any time, on any device.” “This year, parents can also apply for the weekly BestStart payment at the same time as registering their baby.”

Charlotte and Oliver have been consistent in popularity for many years – Oliver has been the most popular boy’s name for six years in a row. Oliver’s female counterpart, Olivia, has been in close competition with Charlotte since 2011, with the two swapping first and second place many times. Jack and Isla were ranked second most popular this year. Nikau remains number one for the most popular Maori boy’s name, having topped the list for the last few years, while Mia is a new entry. The top Maori baby names were calculated and researched in partnership with the e Taura Whiri I te reo Maori, the Maori Language Commission. Colin Feslier, Principal Adviser at the Commission, says Maori names have significant cultural and spiritual meaning. “In Maori tradition, names are given to reinforce memories of past events, family members, or in reference to the qualities hoped for in the child. Whatever the specific motivation, the traditional intent is always to recognise the mana of the child within a community,” Mr Feslier explains. CONTINUED ON PAGE 24

A total of 13,668 different first names were given to 59,302 babies in 2018.

“Non–Maori who bestow Maori names can do so to recognise and reinforce the links between all who live in New Zealand through te reo Maori, a language for us all.” Mr Montgomery agrees, saying that the increased popularity of Maori names worldwide was exciting to see. “Our names are an important part of our identity, our culture, and often, our heritage.

“People of all different beliefs and cultures recognise that the naming of a child is powerful and significant. It’s great that Kiwis and even those overseas are engaging with our Maori culture,” he says.

FUTURE Ignite your future at Kuranui College

Last year Kuranui College introduced its innovative Ignite curriculum for Year 9 & 10 students. The curriculum focuses on allowing students to follow their passions by giving them the opportunity to study subjects within contextual courses.

“Junior students have the choice of up to 24 courses over two years,” explained Kuranui College Principal

Simon Fuller. “These engaging and diverse courses cover all curriculum areas and prepare students for NCEA, while developing key skills needed in an ever-changing world.” Kuranui is also one of just three secondary schools in New Zealand to offer the National Certificate in Aviation and the only college that offers glider flight training as part of its practical aircraft operations

component.

There is also a proud tradition of performing arts, with students going on to win national awards, and its progressive sports programme offers unique opportunities to develop the athletic and mental skills needed to compete at the highest level. Innovative technology, such as

robotics, is at the forefront of a number of digital projects being established in the spirit of Kāhui Ako (community of learning) with primary schools in the South Wairarapa. Māori culture is important to Kuranui, which translates as ‘Big School’. These days, this relates to the number of opportunities they have to offer and the size of their heart.

PROSPECTS

“There’s always a warm welcome at Kuranui – a school built on a platform of friendships, hard work and success – where everyone has the opportunity to be the best they can be,” added Fuller.

Staff and students at Makoura are looking forward to an exciting new school year which includes projectbased learning opportunities, a new timetable and a refresh of the uniform. 2019 sees two key changes: the introduction of a new student learning programme - Arotahi FOCUS Friday, and the restructuring of Waka Huia pastoral groups. Makoura Principal Paul Green feels these changes will strengthen a

student-led focus “With the best interests of our students in mind, we’ve put our students more in control of their own learning experience and more opportunity to analyse and work on real world problems,” explained Green. “We’ve centred these initiatives around our school vision of improving hauora, achievement and community contribution through richer learning experiences.” “Our innovative programme is

directly linked to our strategic goal of developing individual and inter-personal capacity by giving students the chance to form a deeper understanding of a variety of issues.”

The college is also implementing a new pastoral structure for its students. Waka Huia pastoral groups will now consist of three or four students from each year level, and from the same house, rather than being grouped solely from the same

Makoura students will also have more uniform options, including wearing lavalava. “We’re offering students greater choice from an updated and wider range of clothing options, and opportunity to look sharper and smarter,” added Green.

Parents urged to give share their thoughts on Tomorrow’s School shake-up Parents are being urged to engage with the Tomorrow’s Schools Task Force’s final report by the New Zealand Principals’ Federation. Last month when the final report was published, most of the education sector welcomed it, says federation president Whetu

Cormick. Nothing is set in concrete yet, he says, with a consultation period running till this April. “I urge you to engage with the report and discuss the recommendations with your school communities, then give your feedback. You can make a submission on the report

parents there are now four Montessori primary classes in Carterton.

A structured curriculum is supported by Montessori-trained teachers and special Montessori equipment.

We knew from our first visit that our daughter would love her time here and would learn a great deal. Everything has exceeded our expectations. The teachers have fantastic parent-teacher relationships and do an amazing job caring for and teaching to every child’s individual needs. We recommend this centre to anyone!”

Children are allowed to work at their own pace using unique materials. These encourage selfconfidence, independence, selfdiscipline and concentration. The Montessori classroom is a thriving community of learners where everyone is treated with respect and dignity. Small groups and a rich Montessori programme foster love of learning, independence and creativity. For 112 years Montessori methods have transformed education in nearly every country of the world. Wairarapa Montessori began 23 years ago. With exceptional support from

This is what parents say about Wairarapa Montessori:

“

The curriculum features five key areas: 

“

We highly value Montessori as the focus is on our children becoming confident, engaged, independent learners. Excellent learning materials, working at their own pace using their interests as motivation in close collaboration with their caring interested teachers in a supportive learning environment, is the key. Consequently our children are thriving, becoming more confident in their own abilities and most importantly, are happy.”

Mathematics - Geometry: Learning subtle gradations in size, length and weight, exploring solid and plane geometry shapes. Vocabulary expands as children revel in wonderful sounding names such as ovoid, ellipse, sphere and parallelogram.



Sensorial - Art: Working with size, colour, sound, weight, textures and shapes.



Science - Geography: Puzzle maps, globes, pictures and classification games teach the child about the world, our place in it and respect for other cultures.



Practical Life: Real-life activities such as such as scrubbing, polishing, washing, cooking, sewing and food preparation, giving children skills to care for themselves and developing concentration and coordination.



Reading and Language: Building vocabulary and developing handwriting skills.

Your visit is welcome: Experience first-hand what makes the Montessori approach unique. To accommodate working parents, the centre is open throughout the year, only closing for the Christmas - New Year holidays.

How to help your child with homework

FIRST

STEPS

FUTURE

PROSPECTS

School terms & holidays 2019

If your child does bring work home here are some tips to help them: 

Let them have a bit of time to unwind after school or kura they will have been working all day



Give them a snack and drink their brains work better with fuel



Make sure they have a suitable environment to work in. Let them choose a comfortable space, clear away any distractions and keep siblings away from them



Decide together how long their homework will take



Make sure they have everything they need before they start - a set of fun stationery just for homework can be a great motivator.

TERM 1 LENGTH: 11 weeks START DATE: Between Monday 28 January and Thursday 7 February END DATE: Friday 12 April SCHOOL HOLIDAY: Saturday 13 April - Sunday 28 April (includes Easter and Easter Tuesday and ANZAC day)

What if they get stuck? 



Help your child problem-solve by explaining or showing them the steps to complete a task. Let them do the steps though. Make up a similar question or task as an example. Show them how to work through it and then get them to have a go at their homework task



Try giving clues rather than the answer, but be aware of frustration levels - both theirs and yours



Keep the clues simple - remind them of all the other times they have been able to work things out



Ideally homework will be connected to something they’ve already learned, so encourage them to think back

and start from what they can do. 

Don’t help them too much, for example, explain where and how to find information, rather than giving it to them.

What if I don’t understand their homework? If you’re confused by your child’s homework, talk to their teacher you won’t be the first parent to do this. Or it may be that your child is happy to ask for help and then they can explain things to you. They may also be able to find answers by using the internet or the local library, or by asking an older sister or brother. Source: parents.education.govt.nz

to one month before you turn 18, however, you will not get the card until after you have turned 18. You need to take your completed form with $55, your identification (see Step 5.1 of the application form for a list of what form of ID is acceptable), proof of age, a passport sized photo, and proof of address to your nearest Post shop. Note that current and previous versions of the 18+ Card remain valid for 10 years from the date of issue.

Toi Maori community hub Volunteering Wairarapa

Jill Greathead Last week I visited Te Patukituki o Wairarapa (also known as Te Pa) at 15 Queen Street in Masterton and met their Project Coordinator Jade Waetford. Te Patukituki, a social enterprise, is a community hub that provides opportunities to promote, create, educate, engage, and participate in Toi Maori for everyone in our community to enjoy. They offer a co-working space for weavers, carvers, and painters with a workshop in the back of the building and a galley/shop space in the front. The gallery/shop is open to the public on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10am until 4pm where of forms of artwork are displayed for viewing and sale. Te Pa is also open on Wednesdays from 5.30pm to 7.30pm as a Healing Clinic where healers practising Oha Massage, Accunect (Body Talk), Healing Touch, and Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy are available for half hour sessions at $20. These sessions are for

anyone who wants to experience different types of healing to come along and meet these healers. Jade has great plans for this space to help increase the literacy of Te Reo not just in speaking but also in reading the patterns in the different forms of artwork. In February Jade will start ‘Kapu Korero’ (translates to ‘cup of talk’) sessions on Wednesdays at 12 noon to compliment Te Reo classes being held in the region where learners can come together in a bi-lingual space to immerse themselves in Te Reo over a cup of tea. Jade is looking for volunteers to manage the gallery/retail space when it is open to the public for three-hour sessions between 10am and 4pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays every two weeks. • If you are keen to chat about this volunteering opportunity, please contact me on 0274 884 376 or admin@waivc. org.nz.

Call for attention to Maori positive ageing as numbers set to climb There is a call for attention to focus on “Māori positive ageing” as the number of older Māori is set to double over a short period with higher rates of disability and dependence than the general population. How to support the growing number of older Māori is the focus of a new editorial “Māori Positive Ageing” by University of Otago National Centre for Lifecourse Research Co-Director Dr Reremoana Theodore and other Māori health leaders, published in the most recent issue of the New Zealand Medical Journal. In the next 20 years, the number of Māori aged 65-plus is expected to more than double from approximately 48,500 to 126,000 people. Māori currently make up six percent of those aged 65-plus,

but this is projected to increase to 10 per cent of people in this age group. The editorial describes how on average, Māori not only have fewer years of good health, but shorter lives than non-Māori.

“Early and

ongoing programmes, by Māori for Māori, that prevent disabilities and lengthen life, are crucial.”

The authors note that these health disparities result from differences over time in the access to factors like education, employment opportunities, and affordable and quality housing. Dr Theodore says Māori positive ageing is a lifelong process that begins well before Māori reach older age. “That Māori are growing as a proportion of those aged 65-plus, and Māori have higher rates of disability and dependency relative to

Maori” that was commissioned by Te Pou Matakana and undertaken by Wai-Research.”

the general population warrants particular attention,” Dr Theodore says. “Early and ongoing programmes, by Māori for Māori, that prevent disabilities and lengthen life, are crucial. Importantly, the issues that we describe in our editorial are similar to those raised in the report “Kaumātuatanga: The needs and well-being of older

Lead author Dr Will Edwards, Director of Taumata Associates, says the current development of a new national Positive Ageing Strategy is important for Māori because the previous strategy released in 2001 did not capture Māori perspectives on ageing well. “Ageing for Māori should be considered within the context of community, including whānau, hapū (subtribe) and iwi (tribe).

Being Māori and engaging with te ao Māori (the Māori world) are elements of positive ageing that are culturally based and distinctive for Māori,” Dr Edwards says. “Importantly, whānau ora and ageing well for Māori are interconnected because regular positive interactions and quality relationships support all members of the whānau from the mokopuna (grandchildren) all the way up to the kaumātua (older people).”

Positive Ageing Strategy busy getting feedback The Wairarapa’s Positive Ageing Strategy online survey has received 400 responses while Wairarapa’s three councils are continuing to get feedback from focus groups for their draft strategy.

community. All this work will culminate in a draft strategy which will be available for public feedback in March/April this year before the document is finalised around May/June and then be implemented.

In the next quarter century, the number of Wairarapa residents aged over 65 is expected to increase by nearly 80 percent to nearly 15,000 or 1 in 4 residents.

The Menzshed hosted a focus group on the strategy late last year with members wanting to see changes in transport, access to health services and improved access to digital services.

With this future in mind, South Wairarapa, Carterton and Masterton district councils are working together to develop the joint strategy which, as its name suggests, aims to make Wairarapa an aged-friendly

Passionate about all exotic

Rural

Gianina Schwanecke They come in all shapes and sizes at Brian Hale’s Wimbledon farm. On Sunday the fifthgeneration farmer and former school teacher opened his farm for the public to see his collection of exotic sheep breeds. For the past 16 years he’s grown his collection of exotic sheep and now has about 300 sheep on his family farm just north of Pongaroa. Of the 18 breeds some come from as far away as Uzbekistan, Egypt, Wales and Spain, and in all sorts of colours and textures. Hales first started with Karakul sheep from central Asia after his brother travelled to Kazakhstan as a wool scour where they are the dominant breed. “He found great value in their wool. “They’re desert sheep – the nomads of the desert rely on them entirely to meet all their needs.” From there his collection grew. “I reached a point where I realised there was a different thing to explore, having owned the karakuls.” He now has more than 18 breeds including, feral New Zealand breeds such as the Pitt Island, Mohaka

sheep, Arapawa Island, Herbert and Stewart Island sheep, as well as exotic Karakul, Assif, Gotland pelt, East Friesian, Awassi, German Marsh, Jacob, Black Romney, Dorper, Damara, Meatmaster, and historic breeds like the English Leicester and Lincoln. Each of Hales’ breeds highlight the many uses and varied characteristics of sheep. From milking breeds such as the East Friesian and Awassi, to meat producing breeds such as

the South-African Dorper. “They’re the heaviest meat producers per hectare of any other sheep.

They don’t produce any wool – they shed their wool which has limited value,” he said.

“The ‘dor’ comes from crossing with a Dorset, and the ‘per’ comes from the Persian Blackface.” More recently Dorpers have been crossed with the Egyptian Damara breed to create the popular new Meatmaster breed, referred to as ‘white gold’ in Australia. “It’s only six years old but it’s rivalling the beef market in Asia in the restaurant business – they have the wagyu meat factor.” Hale’s collection of sheep breeds also tells a story about the history of wool production, its rise and fall. “I’ve seen the prices of wool soar upwards and downwards, likewise with meat.” While more modern breeds cater to niche specialities, pre-industrial breeds were more multipurpose, providing a range of wool types as well as good eating. “Pre-industrial sheep had to have fleeces with multiple uses – you find some wool to make a jersey, or a piece of wool to stuff a pillow, or something to felt to make some slippers. “Unlike Romney which from sneezer to breezer have to be able to produce wool for carpet.”

CAPE Physiotherapy is coming to Carterton! The successful Physiotherapy company opens its doors in Carterton from February 4th. Located alongside the newly minted Strength Nation gym in Nelson Crescent, Cape Physiotherapy will offer comprehensive Physiotherapy services for all. Having already made CAPE a feature of the Physiotherapy landscape in Masterton, CAPE director Elizabeth Eneliko couldn’t resist the opportunity to expand into the growing Carterton community. The new CAPE clinic will be staffed by experienced senior physiotherapist Martin Kidd. Martin is a Carterton local who will already be known by some folks in the district. A physiotherapist for over 30 years, Martin creates a clinical

Together, Martin and his clients come up with strategies to manage discomfort and dysfunction, based on the client’s goals. Martin has worked extensively in musculoskeletal and advanced Orthopaedic rehabilitation settings both in NZ and overseas. He has training in fields as diverse as breathing disorders and orthotics, and is a leader in clinical education and mentoring in New Zealand.

The kindness of strangers

Wai Write

Mel C Wood Last year, David and I decided to spend two weeks of our Christmas break on a holiday exploring parts of the South Island I hadn’t seen before. We drove along state highways, discovered back roads and crossed bridges old and new. David, a professional photographer and I, an amateur photographer stopped every now and then, to take photos of anything that took our fancy. Cruising along State Highway 1 in our black Subaru, we stopped by a paddock between Cheviot and Greta Valley to take photographs of bales of newly rolled hay lying on verdant hills against a backdrop of a grazing flock of sheep. Thinking it would take only a minute or two, David left the car key inside, closed the car doors then crossed the road for the photograph. A few photos later and we were back to our car, only to find out that we locked ourselves out! We were in the middle of nowhere with no houses nor people in sight! And everything that would enable us to get in

Fishing for keys inside a locked car is not an easy job.

touch with people who could help us, including our phones, was inside the car! Frantically, we flagged down the first approaching car for help. In the car were three English tourists touring the South Island for the first time. After telling them our story and the help we needed, they agreed to let us use their cell phone to call AA (Automobile Association) for assistance. After what seemed to be an eternity, we were able

to get hold of an AA man who assured us that help would be coming in about an hour. We thanked our new friends for their kindness. Hearing that it would take us an hour outside the car waiting for help, they left us a bottle of water saying that we could go thirsty under that searing noonday sun. It was heart-warming to know that there were people who were just too happy to be of help even to strangers like us. Come to think of it, we

“Are you guys, okay?” they enquired, “is there anything we can do for you?”. We told them what happened and assured them that help would be coming soon. We thanked them for their concern. Realising that everything was taken care of, they bade us goodbye and drove off. You could just imagine how relieved we felt when help arrived after 30 minutes and not one hour! The AA man was able to skilfully insert a special rod through the car window and fish for the car keys inside. I was completely bowled over by the experience of meeting strangers who were just too willing to respond to other people’s call for help without hesitation. Truly, the innate goodness of humans.

PHOTO/SUPPLIED

may never see them again. It was an awkward situation we found ourselves in, but the kindness of these strangers just made it possible for us to laugh about it later on. Bracing ourselves for the long wait, we leaned on the car watching traffic go by. Then we saw a red fourwheel drive made a U-turn. In a matter of seconds, it was pulling over beside us. In it was a couple, who introduced themselves to be locals and who sensed that something was not right.
