Masterton has been blessed to have a man of Roy Bambry’s talents in its midst. Last week, Mayor Lyn Patterson recognised his outstanding service to the community, by honouring him with a civic award in front of friends and family. Being nominated in two categories – arts and culture, and health and wellbeing – was a double testament to his considerable eﬀorts in volunteering his musical talents for the local Blind Association, as he himself struggled with his own eyesight issues. Roy entertained with the Savage Club for 14 years, raising a lot of money for the community in the process. He was also involved with the Age Concern Wairarapa singing group, called The Melody Makers, and had many years playing with the Golden Oldies Band twice a month at the Cossie Club – prior to its closure – and he and his supportive wife Gwenda, also organised dances at the Senior Citizens Masterton Mayor Lyn Hall in Cole St. Patterson presenting Roy If this wasn’t Bambry with his civic award. enough, Roy played for PHOTO/SUPPLIED

To meet Roy in person is to encounter a very special man, even though he is battling cancer and is in palliative care, he is sprightly at 77, with a twinkle in his eye and a profound and infectious love of music. Although he was born in Carterton, Roy lived and worked in the Hutt Valley for about 30 years, ﬁrst as a meat inspector and meat inspection tutor, and later as a salesman Continued on page 6

Christmas comes early Christmas is coming early to Greytown; and in even better news, it will last for the whole of July. Not content with the once-a-year celebration, the South Wairarapa town will be playing host to season’s greetings throughout the month. Greytown’s Festival of Christmas, organised by the business group Country Village Heaven, is a show of support for the town’s retail and hospitality businesses, as well as creating “something wonderful for the community”. Country Village Heaven spokesperson Adam Blackwell said Wellingtonians were the lifeblood of Greytown’s retail and hospitality businesses, so ensuring that they continue to keep coming back post the Covid-19 lockdown was front of mind. Adam said it might be the middle of winter, but the Christmas vibe will be very much alive with the town decorated in Christmas trim and fairy lights.

There are no guarantees that Santa will be stopping, but with a huge Christmas tree erected in front of the Town Hall, he will have a familiar spot to drop oﬀ pressies. Special accommodation packages and restaurant menus are being planned, in-store promotions will be in place across shops, and entertainment and street events are being developed for the weekends. Among some of the big highlights in the month of activities: a not to-be missed Christmas Dinner hosted by wedding and event organisers Rose and Smith at Tauherenikau; the Christmas Tweed Ride most Sundays organised by Blackwell and Sons with prizes for best dressed riders and decorated bikes; a family treasure hunt activity organised by The Orchards; family Christmas activities at Cobblestones Museum, plus loads more. • Full details on Greytown’s Festival of Christmas at www.greytownvillage.com.

Much loved Reverend mourned Aleyna Martinez

The Carterton community is “absolutely devastated” following a head-on crash which killed Reverend Jenny Henson [pictured] early Friday afternoon. “She was one of the greatest shining lights in the community,” St Mark’s Anglican Church Reverend Andy Eldred told the Times-Age of his colleague. Henson was killed when a car, driven on the wrong side of the road at speeds witnesses estimated reached 100kmh, hit her vehicle in central Carterton at 12.25pm. Wairarapa Police Area Commander Scott Miller said Henson was just

“exceptionally unlucky to be in the car, at the wrong place, at the wrong time”. The crash happened at the intersection of High Street South [SH2] and Pembroke St by New World. “The offending driver was deliberately on the wrong side of the road travelling through a 50kmh area at excessive speed,” Miller said. A man in his 40s has been arrested and charged with dangerous driving causing death. He is in custody and is

known to police. Miller said the man was being tested for drugs and alcohol as part of their investigation. Police wanted to thank the public who helped the woman. It was “quite a horrendous crash scene” and “people assisted as best they could with first aid”. “This was right in the middle of the town so people came to help in any way they could and certainly the police and emergency services really appreciate the efforts

made by everyone that was immediately on the scene,” Miller said. Witness to the crash, Thomas Beagle told the Times-Age he was driving north toward Masterton in a line of slowly-moving traffic near New World when he heard the red Holden Commodore, which he noted was a sports model, accelerating at full power from behind him in the opposite lane. “My initial split-second thought was that’s a crazy passing move, they’re going to have to brake very hard,” Beagle said. “But we watched to our horror as they kept on accelerating and drove straight head-on into an

either stopped or very slowmoving southbound car. “Of course, at that point, physics took over.” Upon impact “the other car spun around, and debris went everywhere”, he said. Beagle said the Holden Commodore was going “at maximum acceleration the entire way until the crash”. “It basically made a beeline for that car.” Travelling with his partner, they pulled over and called ambulance services. “By the time I got there, a lot of people had poured out of the shops and cars, some were pulling the guy that caused the crash out of his car and they were helping him out.

“I saw some people talking to [the victim], trying to assure them the ambulance was on the way, but I couldn’t see anything after that because the air bags were puffed up.” The Serious Crash Unit examined the scene. Miller said the police would like to hear from anybody who saw the red Holden Commodore driving erratically between Martinborough and Carterton on Friday morning. • If anyone has any information that can assist police, call 105, or information can be passed anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Ormond Engineering does Masterton proud Kevin Ormond, chief executive of Masterton engineering firm Ormond Engineering, has seized the day. In 2007, he expanded the family-run business into the mining region of Pilbara, 1200km’s north of Perth, in Australia, and it is going from strength to strength. Newman, a small mining town with a multi-cultural population of about 5000, had its origins in 1957 when prospector, Stan Hilditch – together with his wife Ella – discovered rich iron-ore deposits at a nearby mountain, naming it Mount Whaleback. Amazingly, they had to keep this a secret for four years because of the Australian Government’s concerns that the mineral was in short supply, but the embargo on iron ore exports was eventually lifted. Today Mount Whaleback mine is the biggest singlepit open-pit iron ore mine in the world, at 1.5km wide and more than 5km long, and is scheduled to eventually reach a depth of 0.5km. Working and living there can be a real challenge since temperatures are

often well over 40 degrees Celsius in summer for weeks on end, Ormond said. It is home to people from all around Australia and the world, and New Zealanders make up a large part of the community and workforces. Kevin explained how Ormond Engineering, now part of Newman’s business community that supports

the ore being mined.” With a varied engineering background, Kevin’s versatility is allowing the company to be involved in projects ranging from manufacturing massive boat trailers to small precision mining tools. Starting out as an airforce engineer working in automation for an American textile firm,

the mining giants today – became involved. “As a Hydraulink distributor in Masterton for the last 12 years, we saw an opportunity to do the same in Newman and add a physical presence here.” This was also a natural progression for our mining division which specialises in supporting automated laboratories who analyse

then in medical imaging for General Electric, and as a ‘reliability specialist’ for an Australian mining laboratory, Kevin has advanced the reach of the Masterton-based company, and “built up valuable relationships, providing significant export revenues for Ormond Engineering”. Being part of the small, family-oriented community is important

to him, and he makes the effort to contribute. “We recently donated and fitted hydraulic hoses and fittings in a roller for the BMX Club which has a strong following of enthusiastic kids, and I am a volunteer firefighter as well.” One of the community events Kevin supports in his adopted town, is the ‘Bloody Slow Cup’ which is an annual event held to commemorate the lives of four Western Australian police officers tragically killed in a plane crash whilst responding to a call for assistance in January 2001. The event includes a remembrance ceremony surrounded by a series of local sporting events held to fundraise for Western Australia Police Legacy. It culminates in the Bloody Slow Cup - named after the Bledisloe Cup - a fiercely contested rugby match between local members of the Australian and New Zealand communities. As Kevin says, “even though I am 5000 kms from home at the moment, there is a lot of home in the Western Australian outback”.

DHB fires four whistleblowers Gianina Schwanecke Four staff at Wairarapa Hospital who complained to management about improper sterilisation of surgical implements and alleged workplace bullying were fired last week. Now, the matter is headed to the Employment Relations Authority, and the Director-General of Health Ashley Bloomfield has been notified. The staff members’ lawyer Jills Angus Burney told the Times-Age yesterday she could not speak to matters that were before the authority but was disappointed it had reached this stage. “[My clients’] families are angry.” She said there had been a series of complaints about inappropriate staff conduct and questions around professional standards relating to a staff member in a leadership position, still employed by the Wairarapa District Health Board [DHB]. “It’s affecting patient safety, which is at the heart of this.” Wairarapa District Health Board [DHB] chief executive Dale Oliff said it had a policy of

The Times-Age understands CSSD and nursing staff first

raised concerns about improperly sterilised surgical instruments in 2018. It is understood that since January this year, nine processing errors of this kind resulted in improperly sterilised instruments being discovered by theatre staff, either during the pre-surgery check or during the operation. It is understood the staff also complained of cumulative workplace bullying and inappropriate conduct in the department, which led to them initially being rostered off due to “incompatibility” with another team member. While they were rostered off, the errors and incidents of inappropriate behaviour were said to have continued, despite staff from the Hutt District Health Board [DHB] being brought in to cover the sterilisation work. A Health Ministry spokesperson told the Times-Age by email that the Director-General [Ashley Bloomfield] had been notified of the issue. “At this stage, we will be making no further comment.’

Dancing queens off to Sydney

STICKMAN’S WEEKLY SPECIALS

Lisa Urbani Sharon Stevens-Cottle is justifiably proud of her two dance proteges, Analiese Donavon and Georgia Shearer who have both been accepted to attend a full- time professional dance school in Sydney – the prestigious Ettingshausens – for 2021. What makes their achievement even more amazing, is that due to the covid-19 restrictions and quarantine situation, they had to cancel their plans to audition in person, and instead, sent in separate videos of their dancing, filmed by their mothers. Eighteen-year old Georgia who studied at Wairarapa College and finished school last year, has been dancing since she was three, and considers Sharon StevensCottle’s “The Jazz Dance and Drama Centre”, as her “second home”. She has always wanted to pursue a career in dancing and performing and has also started her dance teacher training. To be a dancer, according to her, one requires “huge passion, because it’s not mentally easy, and you also need drive and discipline”. Besides introducing herself, she did a jazz and Latin number for the audition and a musical singing piece. Seventeen-year old Analiese, who is in her final year at St Matthews College in Masterton, said she saw herself “in the dance industry for the long haul”, and wanted to take her knowledge to teach and inspire others ultimately. For her audition piece, she did jazz, musical theatre, and a tap number. Her mum, Lynley, runs a highly- regarded dance school in Wellington, and so Analiese said she was realistic about the dance industry.

They both said their success was due to Sharon, whom they praised as being so great with performance, knowing just how to put their personalities to a dance. She in turn, praised their work ethic and maturity, saying they had worked hard to prove themselves, and had followed the plan that had been put in place to get them into optimum condition, mentally and physically, so they could follow their ambitions. Both had stepped up their fitness and healthy eating, and put in the extra work during dance classes, showing their commitment and focus. It had been important to ensure they had the life skills to adjust and cope with life on their own in Sydney when they start the one-year course at the end of January next year- although there is an option to attend for a second year. In the meantime, some fundraising had to commence to pay for the course

and accommodation, [estimated to be at over $30,000 for each of them], although at the time of going to press they were awaiting news of possible scholarships – both having been selected to be in the top five possible recipients in New Zealand –another coup for the dance school. Both girls are running a school holiday bootcamp from Wednesday July 8 to Friday July 10, offering different classes ranging from dance and creative classes, to Broadway Jazz and the Extension Class – for different age groups. Offering 3 days of classes, it is $60 for 3hr classes and $40 for 2hr classes, and can be booked through Eventfinda.co.nz. They should be a lot of fun, encouraging budding dancers, and supporting two lovely young women who have epitomised their teacher Sharon’s motto, “do you best, be proud, have fun”. • To offer funds or support to Georgia and Analiese, contact Sharon on 027 406 5215.

The blackboard of his heart Continued from page 1 for Wrightson Appliances, as well as working at Auto Point in Petone for several years. Family was always very important to him, he was very close to his mother, father and his three sisters, two of whom live in Wairarapa, while the third lives in Australia. Marrying at the very tender age of 20, he was very sad when his marriage broke up, and his first wife left for Australia with their two children, Judy and Donald, and he did his best to maintain close contact with them. His daughter Judy said that her dad was very “deserving of all the accolades”. She and her brother Don Bambry, and Roy’s four grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren, live in Queensland Australia, and due to the covid-19 restrictions, and the quarantine laws, were very disappointed not to be able to be at the ceremony. It all started with Roy recalling that he loved music from the age of three, and teaching himself to play the piano by ear, at the age of eight. At the age of 12 – having saved money from mowing lawns – he even cut a 78” record, which cost 20

lucrative move – fearing that life in the fast lane might not be all it was cracked up to be, he turned it down. For Roy, the greatest response when he played his music, particularly in rest homes, was that he often ended up staying longer than planned, and that all enjoyed the social aspect of laughing and reminiscing about simpler, happier times. His marriage to Gwenda – a widow with five

children of her own – 12 years ago, came as a happy coincidence. They and their families knew each other, from their time at Carterton District High School, but also, because when they were 10 they met in hospital, when they both had to spend some time there due to illness. Years later, they reconnected years through their shared love of music and have enjoyed three cruises together, with loyal

pounds to record. He chose two cowboy songs, ‘The Story of Passing Joe’ and ‘Blackboard of my Heart’ to sing, and accompanied them with the guitar, which he also played. In those days Roy dreamed of being a concert pianist, he admired Liberace’s playing, but he also loved war-time tunes, classical music, Elvis, the Rat pack sounds of Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin, country music crooners –

like Hank Snow and Slim Dusty – “anything tuneful and with words that are meaningful” – as he put it. Some of the performers of the modern age relied on “a lot of repetition, and wouldn’t succeed without their videos”, he said. As a young man, entertaining patrons in a pub, Roy was offered the potential opportunity of a lifetime by some Americans who bought him a beer and offered him a gig in Reno, Nevada – an obviously

Gwenda driving Roy – who lost his license six years ago due to his failing eyesight – to his various musical engagements. They held their joint 70th birthday parties at the Cossie Club. Roy later recorded another CD of 40 tunes, with Gwenda’s help, mainly old-fashioned dance music, waltzes, fox trots, and the Gay Gordons, but for him, the musical highlight was his embellished composition of Franz Liszt’s ‘Liebestraum’, ‘No 4’ as he calls it, and he is very proud of his creation. Revealing his inner romantic, Roy talks about nostalgic memories of churning butter, preserving eggs, vegetables, and orchards, and chooks, and salting beans, and of course, music, always music, especially encouraging younger people to enjoy its many forms. “Gwenda”, he says, “puts up with her pain and feels mine too, a wonderful woman who is always there for me, we so enjoy gardening together and have similar values.” Of his children, he says, “they mean everything to me, I have not seen them enough, but not a day goes by that I don’t think about them”.

Growing healthy, active kids YMCA fees will be waived for the rest of this year for all junior sports leagues held in Porirua and Masterton. The free fees are part of the nationwide YMCA campaign to ‘Let Kids Be Kids Again’ – as branches across the country are all do their part to grow healthy, active young New Zealanders. With more than 2.7 million participations nationally in YMCA active recreation programming, as of April 2020, it is estimated that one in six New Zealanders is involved in some way with the YMCA. Lockdown was a tough time for many kids, not being able to play their favourite sports, getting less exercise than usual, and missing out on the social hub that forms around every sports league. In response, YMCA Central is aiming to help make it easier than ever for kids to get back into their sport, or start something new. “Getting kids healthy and active is part of our mission and one of the reasons the Y exists,” YMCA Central chief executive Brendan Owens said. “We want to ensure that whanau and communities are not forced to withdraw their tamariki from sport

and recreation due to fees.” Across Porirua and Masterton, that means kids can join up to play volleyball, football, or basketball for the remainder of 2020 without paying any fees. Hopefully this is one way the local YMCA can boost kids’ recovery from the shared experiences of covid-19. Masterton’s YMCA centre manager Nicole James is passionate about her role, and enjoys anything that combines sport and children. Growing up in a sporty,

competitive family, she knows the benefits of being active and the benefits for coordination and wellbeing. She is a particularly proud of her Kia Kaha Ake programme for under-fives, which is about fundamental movement through free play. Besides being a centre for “active recreation”, with league games in the codes of basketball, futsal and netball, the local YMCA also houses the Masterton Toy Library, has a driver training centre, a conference room with a

Nicole loves to hear generations of people reminiscing about the history of their involvement with the YMCA. “We’re about the community, our aim is to be a community hub for all walks of life, regardless of age, ethnicity, background, or disabilities, everyone is welcome.” Sport in our communities is facing uncertain times due to the ongoing effects of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The YMCA is working closely with Sport Wellington and Sport New Zealand, thinking collectively about what the future of local sport might look like in the future. They see this initiative as an opportunity to remove even more barriers to participation and enjoyment – building healthier communities and families. “Sport is such an important part of Kiwi life and I think most of us have been missing it,” Owens said. “It also has a vital role in

helping us all recover our confidence. But for sport to be able to play its role in the rebuild, it needs to be accessible, affordable and sustainable. Removing these fees is one step in making that happen.” • Currently the Masterton YMCA is looking for a ‘Programmes Coordinator’ with a sporting background. More information on Trade Me Jobs page.

Hello Winter Winter may be upon us but that’s no excuse to stop gardening. In fact, it’s an incredibly healthy hobby to continue (or take up) through the cooler months. You’ll be getting exercise, fresh air and hopefully even some Vitamin D! Winter gardens don’t have to be dreary, plenty of plants come to life at this time of year. Here’s just a few to inspire you to create a winter haven in your home garden.

Canberra Gem

CAMELLIA’S First on the list for winter favourites are the versatile Camellia’s. They can be used in many landscaping situations - hedges, pots, espalier and standards. You can extend the flowering season by planting a mixture of Sasanqua, Japonica & Hybrids, we have as descriptive list available to help you choose.

HELLEBORES & HEUCHERAS

Cream-and-Green

These look absolutely stunning when planted in bulk in a shady area of the garden. We may not have all of the varieties shown in stock but there’s a huge mix to choose from. Come in and have a look.

GREVILLEAS CAMELLIA’S FOR HEDGES

Most Camellias grow to around 2m but you can trim them immediately after flowering to keep them shorter. There are smaller growing varieties, we have a list available on request.

CAMELLIA’S FOR BIRDS

Camellia’s are great for attracting wildlife such as Tui’s & Waxeyes to the garden, this is important throughout winter as their food is scarce.

Grevillea’s have fascinating flower forms and there is something to suit most garden situations as groundcovers or shrubs. They are perfect for coastal gardens, and when established they can tolerate frosts & droughts.

CAMELLIA’S FOR A CUPPA

Did you know that tea can be made from Camellia’s? Tsaii, with beautifully scented white flowers is also known as The Tea Camellia.

Colour The Indoors Bring the garden indoors with our extremely well made and realistic artificial flowers. Indoor plants are also very popular right now and we have lots of cover pots to suit your décor.

10 Wairarapa Midweek Local News Wednesday, June 24, 2020

Mechanics of flights of fancy Lisa Urbani

Masterton’s Paul Martinson modestly calls himself an “accidental artist”. As a scientific researcher in the 1980s working for the now defunct Department of Science and Industrial Research [DSIR], he needed to supplement his income, and turned to art, having always loved drawing and painting. It is little wonder then, that, given his interest in the natural world, and his work with animals, that his subject matter would largely feature wildlife, particularly birds. His fascination with birds – seeing New Zealand as a “giant bird sanctuary” – led to him illustrating the 2006 book, ‘Extinct Birds of New Zealand’ – a collaboration with Te Papa palaeontologist Alan Tennyson. Working from his light-filled studio in Perry St, his detailed and realistic paintings, with subtle layering of tones, depict creatures confined within all manner of interesting vessels – crates, jars, glass cloches, and even light bulbs – and are a nod to his thinking that “all reality is an illusion manufactured by the mind”.

Paul Martinson, artist and bird enthusiast. PHOTO/JADE CVETKOV

As an example, the unusual pairing of fish floating in lightbulbs illustrates this perfectly, as it makes our mind grapple with reality, and that which is not real. Giving reign to

imagination and freedom of the subconscious mind allows him to include his scientific passions in his art. “There is a long history of artists being inspired by science, and I see science

and art as inseparable twins.” Light, space, and time are important concepts in his work, as he says, “without light the world is invisible, and each creature exists in

a finite amount of time”. The light imagery is also aligned with his interest in quantum mechanics – a fundamental theory in physics, which describes physical properties of

nature on an atomic scale. In trying to understand how electricity worked, scientists made the first discoveries about quantum physics – which, as Paul explains, “clashes with art, informing us about fundamental reality”. As one gallery review said of his work, “as a viewer you are transported into the reflections of a scientist coming to grips with the mysteries of life as they unfold and return into the unknown”. His next exhibition, ‘Huia’, will open in September 2021 at Sanderson Contemporary Art in Auckland. The twenty paintings will focus on the huia, a bird now sadly extinct in New Zealand, depicting their life in the forests of the North Island. The exhibition was delayed due to covid-19, but as Paul says, “It’s quite a big undertaking and the paintings are complex and need much research, so the time extension is welcome”. Harry Watson of The Watson Gallery will re-present Paul’s work here in Masterton, and original paintings will soon be for sale at the gallery. • Paul welcomes visitors to his studio, but best to make an appointment first: 027 637 8890.

WINTER (AND SMOG) IS HERE…. Every winter Masterton exceeds global guidelines for air quality – and that hurts our health. Wood burning is a great way to keep our homes warm, but it’s also the biggest culprit behind smog in winter. If we all burn better and reduce the amount of smoke we put into the air, we can breathe easier. Better burning means more heat from your fire with less smoke – that’s because smoke is just wood that hasn’t been fully burnt. It’s important to make sure your woodburner is efficient, and your wood is dry and untreated. Masterton needs everyone to adopt better wood burning techniques so that we’ve got clean air to breathe during winter.

Here are the main tips: y Have your chimney cleaned before each winter. y Make sure your wood is dry and untreated. y Make sure your fire burns bright and hot, so it doesn’t produce smoke. y Don’t shut the fire damper (air vent) down overnight.

We want Masterton to have healthy, clean air to breathe. Let’s all play our part and become better burners. Learn about better burning on our website. Plus, go into the draw to win a load of free firewood for a friend donated by Bolt Firewood. See more by searching “Masterton’s air quality” at: www.mstn.govt.nz

Here’s to all the mothers, thank you! According to a quote by Shakespeare, “the meaning of life is to find your gift, the purpose of life is to give it away”. In this edition you can read about a wonderful man, Roy Bambry, who has given much joy to people all over Wairarapa because of his musical talents. Two young dancers have big dreams for their future and have done their teacher and their dance school proud. Kevin Ormond has expanded his engineering firm across the ditch, thus show-casing the famous Kiwi can-do attitude.

CUTIE OF THE WEEK

Piece of mind

Lisa Urbani in Wairarapa, many homemakers are doing the often, thankless task of vacuuming, tidying up after others, wrangling loads of laundry, shopping and cooking, acting as secretaries, personal chauffeurs and assistants - often for very little recognition or compensation. Supporting a family and keeping a household in order requires many skills, but often they are under- appreciated. We owe a huge gratitude of debt to this ‘unseen’ workforce. Having been among their number for many years, I know how lonely and thankless a task it can be at times, especially when you sometimes feel diminished by some who are disdainful, and do not see it as “real work”. My domestic talents are

limited to, “if the smoke alarm goes off, dinner is served”, and I follow the Joan Rivers method of housekeeping: “Why clean when you only have to do it all over again six months later?” I have a wonderful helper in my home who makes it possible for me to pursue what I love to do, and makes my life so much easier, now that I am working full-time. Her organisational abilities and calm management of my home twice a week, are much admired, and we are very grateful to her and value her contribution. Without her help we might descend into chaos, so I want to acknowledge her and the many mothers who are selflessly taking care of business too, important business.

Rachel Norman I personally have found them great. However, currently have a friend ÿ ghting for their life due to a serious fault by a doctor. And another who had issues around cancer treatment errors. So, I guess there are the good bits and the bad. Amanda Fairhall They are massively under-funded. The mental health care is really bad – there are many cases they have failed people which has led to devastating consequences. Too many people are slipping through the cracks and that’s only one sector of the health services. Everywhere struggles with lack of funding and staff. Jocelyn Konig No problem with the hospital but deÿ nitely need more doctors in the local practices. Gail Marshall I cannot express my appreciation ovation enough. Wairarapa Hospital is amazing. Staff are caring and hardworking. Doctors are exceptional. I have spent most of this year as either a patient or visiting my husband and felt like I

was part of the family of care by all staff. I believe all our services work hard to take care of our community. Jen Atkin I can’t fault the Wairarapa Hospital services that I have recently had. Great caring by, staff, nurses, and doctors. Excellent follow up with bloods and CT, too. Dianne Haswell In a bit of bother at the moment. Diane McMahon I have all ways respected our great hospital and Carterton Medical Centre. Always been looked after by nurses and doctors – such wonderful care. Well done Wairarapa. Richard Alan Dahlberg Struggling. Basic care is okay, but some services need attention. If reports in paper true, could be in real trouble. Kaye Bland I had a knee replacement done last October and the operation, aftercare, physio, and clinic were top class. I was so impressed. Thank you Wairarapa Hospital – I can now dance with my new knee.

People believe healthcare needs more funding.

Jury portraits offer sense of mana A portrait is not merely a record of the subject’s physical features; it can offer a vivid sense of that person’s presence, their mana. This portrait of Te Aitu-o-te-rangi is a wonderful example of this. Te Aitu-o-te-rangi, the daughter of Te Whatahoronui and his first wife, Aromea, was born around 1820. She belonged to Ngāti Moe at Papawai, in Wairarapa, a hapu of Rangitāne and of Ngāti Kahungunu. Her parents and her grandfather, Muretu, lived at Te Ureta, Wakaa-paua and Wharehanga, on the western side of the Ruamāhanga River, near present day Martinborough. Here, the beautiful Princess of Ngāti Moe, who escaped from slavery to return to her ancestral

homelands on the banks of the Waiohine River is depicted in all her pride and strength. Her mouth firm with a powerful jawline and her head held high with eyes that directly confront the viewer. Wrapped in traditional korowai with Huia feathers in her hair, Te Aitu’s status as rangatira is clearly portrayed. As part of the Mahi Toi programme at Aratoi in 2018. Educators used puppets to retell the legend of Te Aitu-o-te-rangi and her korowai of protection. Tamariki heard the story of how Te Aitu was captured at a young age by chief Te Rauparaha and taken as a slave, away from Wairarapa; to Kāpiti Island on the other side of Te Ika a Maui. One dark night, with the help of a young sailor

And finally once Te Rauparaha had long given up hope of finding his slave wife, Te Aitu-o-te-rangi and John Jury came out of hiding, making their way along the Ruamāhanga and into the Waiohine River, coming ashore at the Kuratawhiti clearing. At last they were at their destination, Te Aitu-o-te-rangi’s ancestral homelands. Te Aitu and Jury later married and built a home beside the Waiohine, with beautiful tukutuku paneled lined walls. • For information on other programmes offered by Aratoi, please email education@ aratoi.co.nz or call 06 370 0001.

encouraging people to only contact them on line, a human service is more valued than ever. That’s what is so great about the Citizens Advice Bureau.

June UPDATE MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR At the time of writing, the Councillors and I have finished two intense days of Annual Plan hearings and are in continuing deliberations. I want to thank all those who took the time to make a submission, particularly those who came along to present. Every submission has added to our knowledge of public opinion.

Whatever the reasons, it’s fantastic to see so many people sharing their views on what they believe is best for our community. It’s democracy in action.

With almost 1,000 submissions – more than five times the number we would normally receive – we’re delighted with this record-level of community

Council has a hard job on its hands now to weigh up all the evidence for and against the different parts of the Annual Plan proposal. Deliberations are

PEEK @ PUKAHA

Power of people lauded Dear friends, This week is National Volunteer Week. A week that celebrates and acknowledges the important role of volunteers in our nation’s communities. Nowhere is the national conservation effort better reflected than in those groups or individuals who donate their time to the preservation of New Zealand’s native flora and fauna. Conservation efforts up and down our country would not exist without these people donating their time, energy, ideas and enthusiasm for the greater benefit of the environment and all its inhabitants. We must therefore take a moment to pause, acknowledge and applaud the efforts of these people, because without all their incredible help. Well…

for acknowledgement or thanks. You people really make Pūkaha possible. On behalf of all our wildlife and staﬀ here at Pūkaha, we’d like to say a big thank you to you all for making a diﬀerence and making Pukaha possible for everyone to enjoy.

quite simply we’d be buggered. Pūkaha would probably not exist. We have 30 volunteers who regularly visit, helping us with pretty much everything. Food preparation for our birds. Forest and pathway maintenance. Planting trees and nursing seedlings. Greeting visitors and leading tours. We even have a volunteer vet who helps on the odd occasion and others who are prepared to walk around the bush waving

a television-type antenna around to help us locate kiwis. It’s a lot of fun. When international travel was still a thing, we also used to host up to 20 international volunteers over the course of a year. Many of these people worked directly with our rangers in the care of New Zealand’s native species. Other volunteers help us on a more casual, one-oﬀ basis, like at our yearly Community Open Day.

Together all these people donate on average 11,500 hours per year to Pūkaha. That’s the equivalent of 1437 eight-hour days! So we’d like to take a moment to just stop and say thank you to our community of helpers. To everyone who has ever walked through our doors and oﬀered their help. Without wanting reward.

CLIMATE FOR CHANGE

ADVERTORIAL

Bring pleasure Beverley Jack Kiwi households throw away over 157,000 tonnes of food each year. This includes 20 million loaves of bread. As this food decomposes in landﬁlls it produces methane, a greenhouse gas many times more potent than CO2. It’s not just the food that is wasted. Consider all the resources required to bring it to your table: water for irrigation, land for planting, fossil fuels that power harvest and transport vehicles. How do we, as individuals, contribute to food waste? We purchase too much food. We cook excessive amounts and don’t eat the leftovers. We let food in our fridge go bad. We store food incorrectly. Here are some tips and tricks to help you reduce the food footprint of your whānau – and save money too.

Purchasing Sit with your family and draw up a menu plan for each week. Rotate

these over a month to have variety. Shop according to the menu plan and don’t be coerced into buying specials (eg, “2 for the price of 1”) unless you know you’ll use them. Don’t shop on an empty stomach. You tend to buy extra when you’re hungry. Buy local. A shorter trip across the supply chain generally means less emissions along the way.

Cooking Make an end-of-week stir fry. Take everything in your veggie drawer. Chop then sauté with garlic and herbs. Serve on rice or noodles. Or add home-made stock for soup. Use stale bread to make croutons or bread-andbutter pudding. Use your veggie scraps. First, ask yourself whether you really need to peel the vegetables – it can be a waste of time, food, ﬁbre and nutrients. If you do have peelings, tops and tails etc, wash them then store in a bag in the freezer. When you need vegetable stock, boil them up with a little water.

Freeze until needed. Serve leftovers on to an extra plate. Use this for tomorrow’s lunch or freeze for a day when you don’t feel like cooking or arrive home late. Don’t keep potatoes and onions next to each other. They release gases and moisture that encourage sprouting and rotting. Bananas are best kept on your bench. Wrap the stems if you want to slow the ripening process. Store leafy greens in a plastic bag in the vegetable drawer of your fridge. Keep your eggs in the fridge. Did you know you can freeze eggs? Simply crack them into a zip lock bag, label and date, and put into the freezer. They will keep for up to 12 months. To make the best of a big block of hard cheese, grate some of it, place into zip lock bags or containers, and freeze. Use as you need.

The foundation is the most important part of a building. If the foundation is not good, the building will sink, and it will not be level. Doors will jam and many more issues will arise. So, it is with our life. On what is your life built? Often, we make choices based on what feels good and what looks good. We buy tools, kitchen appliances etc and start using them without reading the manual, because we think we know it all. We want to sort it out ourselves without the help of others. And if things go wrong, we will check the manual. But it might have done some damage already, and it could be that it cannot be fixed any more. God has given us a manual that tells us exactly how to live happily, with peace, and how we can face the biggest storms in our life and still have peace inside us. This manual is called the Holy Bible. If we keep this book closed, we can expect our lives to not run smoothly. The Bible tells us about a foundation that will never be shaken. It is unshakeable. This foundation is Jesus Christ. The lives of many today are not running smoothly, because we want to do it ourselves. We want to make our own rules and live our lives the way we feel is best. Many of us don’t believe in marriage anymore because it doesn’t work. Why? Because we don’t keep our commitment to each other. We are unfaithful to each other. When times of stress and troubles arise in our home, instead of bringing the family together we run from each other.

When your marriage/home is built on Jesus, the problems of the home will be far less, and the problem of divorce may never come. Commitment is what it takes through difficult times – to pray and read the Bible together as a family. God loves hearing from you. When you read the Bible, He speaks to you in a personal way. What kind of husband/father are you? Are you faithful to your wife? Do you love her unconditionally? You promised to help her and to give her your best. Are you teaching and training your children? Or do you leave that to your wife and give all your time and energy to your toys? Your children need a father! What kind of wife/mother are you? Do you make your husband feel loved? Are you a good homemaker, so that your husband looks forward to coming home to be with you? Are you there for your children, or does your career come first? Do they only have your leftovers? Your children need you! It’s sad to see that so many children are hurting for the poor choices parents make. It doesn’t need to be that way. In 1 Corinthians 3:10, Paul says to take heed how you build. Jesus Christ is the only foundation that will stand. And when we trust in Him, He will be with us all the way and will give us eternal life. He is faithful and keeps His Word. He will never put you to shame. Don’t wait for troubles to arrive but trust in Jesus now.

Venus returns as a morning star

Venus glows bright in Taurus. PHOTO/GETTY IMAGES

Just a few weeks ago, Venus was an “evening star” and followed the sun into sunset. Since then, our brightest planet has silently and invisibly nipped across the sun to then pop out the other side. Now it precedes sunrise and becomes a wonderful “morning star” until beyond the new year. About an hour before sunrise, around 7am, the brilliant planet adorns the twilight glow. Venus is the third brightest of the regular celestial objects after the sun and moon. Being very similar in size to Earth, it provides some idea of what our planet would look like from Mars – just a very bright star. Mars comes nearly as

Nick Sault close to Earth as does Venus, only, of course, its orbit is outside Earth’s while Venus’ orbit is on the inside. I didn’t suggest the view of Earth from Venus, as you would not be able to view our planet or anything else through that planet’s thick CO2 atmosphere. Also, you would burn, either by the intense surface temperature of 470C, or by the sulphuric acid droplets in the

atmosphere. On Mars, you would be perfectly happy in your space suit, and could look on our glorious mother planet with equanimity. If you can be out before the twilight blanks out all but Venus, say 6 to 6.15am, you will be able to see that Venus’s entourage is our old friend Taurus the Bull. Venus sits right by the “V” shaped star formation that symbolises the bull’s horns. The brightest star in

The sun will now start to rise earlier, and the days start to get longer again. It’s very slow to start with, accelerating towards the equinox in September. Trouble is, nice as it is to get over the hump regarding short days, we have at least another month of the weather getting colder.

Dementia crisis leads to national response plan A national response plan has been developed to address one of the most signiÿ cant health challenges facing New Zealand. The number of Kiwis diagnosed with dementia is expected to triple in coming years, which will have an impact on four out of ÿ ve people and cost the economy around $5 billion a year by 2050. In response to this desperate situation, three dementia sector organisations have collaborated to develop the ÿ rst ever Dementia Action Plan for New Zealand. It has been widely consulted on within New Zealand’s dementia community, including feedback

collaborated to develop the Dementia Action Plan.

from over 300 individuals and groups, and has attracted overwhelming support. The plan has now been presented to Health Minister David Clark and Associate Health Minister Jenny Salesa. Spokesman for the plan, Alister Robertson, who has dementia and has been on the board of various dementia organisations, said the plan sets out the changes that must be made to the health system to better support people with dementia and their care partners. “Successive governments have ignored the dementia issue, and the growing number of New Zealanders with the condition have been marginalised.

“Right now, the health services and support structures for people a° ected by dementia, like me, are woefully inadequate.

“COVID-19 has brought into sharp focus the major challenges I face, and others like me face, when living with dementia. “We’ve done most of the heavy lifting – now we need government to fund it and support us to implement it.”

“In my experience, what services there are, are underfunded and largely unsupportive of people living with the condition. It is beyond belief that a group of New Zealanders is so badly forgotten.”

The impact of COVID-19 has also put serious long-term ÿ nancial and funding pressure on the charities that provide the much-needed dementia support services in the community.

Robertson says in light of the lack of political action on dementia, Alzheimers NZ, Dementia NZ and the NZ Dementia Foundation

“People like me rely heavily on those organisations but they now face collapse and need urgent government support,” says Robertson.

“Without it, they may very well go under leaving thousands of us – some of the most vulnerable New Zealanders without any support at all.”  The Lancet describes dementia as “the greatest global challenge for health and social care in the 21st century”.  Around 70,000 New Zealanders have dementia. Numbers grew by 29% from 2011 to 2016. The total is likely to exceed 170,000 by 2050.  In NZ, the associated per person annual health and social care costs of dementia exceed those for cancer or heart disease.  Dementia has the potential to overwhelm the health system. Care of older people is likely to account for 50% of District Health Board (DHB) expenditure by 2025/26

ELDER ABUSE AWARENESS

As many as one in 10 older people in New Zealand will experience some kind of elder abuse. The majority of cases will go unreported. It can be di˜ cult to identify abuse as there is no single ‘type’ of elder abuse. It can be psychological, ÿ nancial, physical or sexual. More often than not, people experience more than one type of abuse. If you are concerned about how you, or someone you know, is being treated, you can contact Age Concern Wairarapa Elder Abuse Response Co-ordinator Anne Murrell phone 06 929 768

Walking the tight rope of elder abuse The role of Elder Abuse Response Coordinator is a delicate one. Wairarapa’s co-ordinator Anne Murrell treads carefully with every new case she sets out to investigate. Usually, the older person is experiencing abuse from someone they know. “Abuse from strangers is usually a matter for the police to investigate,” Anne points out. According to Age Concern New Zealand, 81 per cent of alleged abusers are family members, and 57 per cent are adult children or grandchildren. Sometimes the abuser might be a neighbour or some other non-family member the older person has some sort of relationship with.

Abusers are often someone they depend on for support or care, someone close, and/or someone they trust. This can make it especially hard to speak up. Very often the elderly person relies on their abuser in one way or another, and this has been exacerbated by COVID-19.

There can be up to ten cases of elder abuse being investigated in Wairarapa at any one time

Older people are referred to Anne from a variety of sources.

In every case, the older person is ÿ rst asked if they would like Anne to visit them.

In some cases police have attended an incident involving an older person. Other common sources include homecare workers, healthcare professionals, government agencies, family members or friends.

A qualiÿ ed social worker with 15 year’s experience in care and protection, Anne has been in her current role for the past four, based from the Age Concern Wairarapa o° ces at Solway Showgrounds.

Golden Usually the older person has a sense that something is not quite right about a situation they are in, and just want to talk with someone about it, Anne says.

“

I give them advice and tell them what their options are. Usually our conversation conÿ rms that what they are thinking is actually the case.”

In the majority of instances, the older person doesn’t want matters taken any further, Anne says. “Often they don’t want to rock the boat.” “If they do give me their consent, I can talk to family members, and help in other ways such as getting them legal advice or referring them on to other agencies such as healthcare professionals, lawyers, FOCUS, WINZ and the police.” It can be di° cult to identify abuse, and there is no single type of elder abuse. Financial abuse can range from a family member using the older person’s eftpos card for personal purchases, to getting the older person to pay their bills, to children putting pressure on a parent to sell their house and move into a rest home. A not uncommon scenario, Anne says, “is that a son or daughter’s marriage breaks up and they go home to live with mum. “They are still there six months later, and mum is still paying the rates, power bills and groceries. Their friends are coming round and mum ends up stuck in her room.” Psychological abuse includes any behaviour causing mental anguish, stress or fear, such as ridicule or threats, humiliation, preventing choice or decision-making, and withholding a˛ ection. It can be as simple as the older person being talked to in an abusive manner,

YEARS

Anne says. “A lot of people don’t realise that what they are doing is bordering on elder abuse.” Physical abuse includes in˝ iction of pain, injury or use of force, such as hitting, pushing, rough handling, over-medication, inappropriate use of restraints or conÿ nement.

Sexual abuse covers any nonconsensual sexual acts or exploitive behaviour such as inappropriate touching or sexual acts with someone unable to give consent.

Neglect is another form of abuse, where physical, emotional or social needs are not provided for. For example, food, clothing, shelter, social, support and health needs are not being attended to. Institutional abuse can include in˝ exible routines, inappropriate rationing of continence products and a lack of respect for a person’s culture or customs.

She often refers her clients to Fran Reardon, Age Concern Wairarapa’s Accredited Visitor Co-ordinator, who matches them up with a suitable person, from the 60 or so volunteers available. “We all have a role to play in putting an end to elder abuse and to help support the health and well being of the older people around us,” Anne says.

F U L L O F F L AV O U R Baker not just about making the bread

A thank you from the Dickensian Bookshop

Martin Grice loves his sourdough. Sourdough bread is made by the fermentation of dough using naturally occurring lactobacilli and yeast. It is one of the principal means of biological leavening in bread baking, the others using cultivated forms of yeast. It takes longer to make sourdough bread with more kneading and longer sitting required. But the effort is worth it, in Martin’s opinion, producing a loaf with a natural and subtly tangy taste. Around half of Baker’s bread is made using this method such as the white, wholemeal multigrain, and rye sourdough loaves. The other half use cultivated yeast such as the ciabatta, parmesan, and rye & caraway.

Firstly, we would like to thank all the wonderful people of Wairarapa and beyond who have responded to the call to support local business.

Baker’s gourmet pies are made the oldfashioned way, with no fillers. Martin’s only ingredients are meat, vegetables and wine.

A stitch in time saves nine for oral health therapist Reena Raj

ral Health Therapist and Hygienist Reena “Ji” Raj has always enjoyed working in culturally diverse environments.

Simon Bridges at the Martinborough Fair in March.

On the case of politics ... I am very sorry to mention politics and I will understand completely if you turn the page now. I promise not to do it again. It’s not the sort of thing I would usually write about but I have had numerous requests for my opinion so here goes. I am convinced that most people will vote on personality rather than policy in the upcoming general election. I have made decisions regarding politics, based purely on personality alone, with no consideration to the politics of the person. I am also convinced that many people would not even know the policy difference between the political parties. “Oh, I’m voting for Jacinda. She’s lovely” How often to you hear statements like that? Ask the same person what Jacinda’s portfolios are and they wouldn’t have a clue. Simon Bridges blamed covid-19 for his demise. No Simon, the reason you have gone tat-tars is because you never connected with the people. You lacked the X factor. You weren’t liked. Your colleagues obviously thought so too, otherwise you would still be Camp Mother. One of the first things new National leader, Todd Muller said, was “I do not believe in opposition for

Comment – Pick ‘n Mix

Graeme Burnard opposition sake”. Bridges was a whinger and a whiner. Anything the Government said or did, he opposed. Even when they were getting it right with covid-19. And the people got sick of it. And the people spoke.

I can’t stand him. I can’t stand the sight of him, I can’t stand the sound of him. I would never invite him into my home. But, I am a Republican. So I had no choice but to vote for him. On TV just before the National Party leaders vote, TV1 news were asking people on the street what they thought. One very snooty sounding lady said “well, I am National of course, but I wish Jacinda was leading us”. Huh? Well, of course lady, you can’t have your cake and eat it too. It seems to be a requirement that if you want to be a federal politician, you have to be dull. The last two national

MP’s for Wairarapa have been as interesting and charismatic as a long wet weekend. Neither really connected with their constituents apart from the true blue supporters but I hear many of them have had enough. The word on the street is that change is afoot. When we were on a cruise in 2018, we met two women from Atlanta Georgia and we spent a lot of time with them. “Did you vote for the Tangerine windbag in the White House?” I asked. Hilda replied, “I can’t stand him. I can’t stand the sight of him, I can’t stand the sound of him. I would never invite him into my home. But, I am a Republican. So I had no choice but to vote for him.” I said to her that she did have a choice. She could have protested his selection by not voting. By voting for him, you have endorsed him. I wonder if she has changed her mid. Yeah, nah! What do we want, dull or charisma? CHARISMA When do we want it? NOW Just saying.

Reena grew up in Fiji and was a school dental assistant there and in Auckland for 17 years before studying for four years at the University of Otago Dental School, graduating with a Bachelor of Oral Health Degree last year. Since then she has been working in a country practice in Western Australia, before joining Masterton Dental a month ago. “I’ve always wanted to work in a rural environment in New Zealand and really enjoy working with Dr Akash Kota and the team at Masterton Dental. I hope my stay in Masterton will bring a brighter smile to all Masterton families!” Reena’s ÿrst priority is the provision of preventive care to all age groups. “I want to improve the community’s oral health by using simple educational techniques such as few home remedies that will help to prevent tooth decay and chronic gum disease. I also want to promote good oral health as part of my patients’ general health.” The best way to keep your teeth and gums attractive and healthy is through preventative care, Reena believes. “Without regular visits with your

“Prevention is always better than cure.” hygienist, bacteria builds up between the teeth and gums, producing toxins that dissolve the bones, loosening the teeth - and, of course, bad breath.” Gum health is also important for a person’s overall health, Reena points out. “Gum disease is painless but dangerous as the toxins from bacteria can travel to the heart, brain, liver, kidney, and pancreas, and cause arthritis.” Reena makes a special point of encouraging parents with teenage children to make sure they are seeing a hygienist regularly. “This is a free service subsidised by the government for children aged 13 to 18. This is highly recommended as it is the age when a child’s permanent teeth are developing.” Reena also encourages parents with young children to bring them to Masterton Dental for regular hygiene care, something some parents do already. “Prevention is always better than cure.” Outside of work, Reena loves to travel. “I love experiencing new cultures and lifestyles.”

It’s important to be proactive A friend of mine has had the hours in her job cut considerably due to covid-19, reducing her income by 75 per cent. This is a significant change that would impact severely on anyone. It could also be an opportunity to feel sorry for yourself, thinking that you have little power or control over what’s happening to you. However, my friend instead went home and applied for 15 jobs linked to her area of expertise, this being no easy feat, especially in a time in which so many are losing work. Now, just a few days later, the hard work and take control approach has led to a new job, with better conditions, in a company that has a focus on staff development. This outcome would never have been achieved had my friend not been so proactive. I know that times are extremely tough, and that this outcome might not be what everyone ends up with, but there is still the need to try to take control, be proactive, and don’t wait for things to happen. Great stuff Stella.

There’s always a way to fi gure it out

Kyle Maynard is an exceptional person. He was born without arms past his elbows or legs past his knees. Despite this he has gone on to achieve incredible success in areas that many would have thought would not be possible with such ‘limitations’. Maynard has played American football, been a champion wrestler, climbed Mt Kilimanjaro (the highest mountain in Africa) on his hands and knees, and a range of other physical feats. His experiences have been recorded in an inspirational book he has written, and he is a speaker who inspires all around the world. A key reason why Maynard has overcome so much is that he has a philosophy of ‘there’s always a way to ﬁgure it out’. Where others may be looking for excuses, Maynard looks for strategies, then applies them to whatever he is aiming to do, leading to the many successes and achievements in his life. Life may be hard, but for most of us we don’t face the challenges that Maynard has and does on a daily basis. For whatever challenge we face our approach should be ‘there must be a way to ﬁgure it out’. It has certainly worked for Maynard.

Learn a language

I’ve been picking up my children from dancing for years. The classes don’t always ﬁnish on time so there’s often quite a long wait. Rather than just sitting and getting frustrated in this situation I instead pull out my phone, open the Duolingo language learning app and continue with my German language learning. Duolingo is such a great

Midweek Musings

Tim Nelson programme. The number of language programmes continues to grow (Māori is coming later in the year), and the gamiﬁed nature of the programme makes it quite addictive. Additionally, a lesson can be completed in just a few minutes, so it’s the perfect thing to do if you have a few minutes to spare.

Small steps count

While listening to The Daily Calm an often recounted story was shared; it’s one I first read years ago in the original Chicken Soup for the Soul book series in which an old man encounters a child on the beach throwing washed up starfish back into the surf, saving one at a time. However, there are thousands of them. The old man asks the child what difference could possibly be made when there are so many starfish. The child

is certainly correct in many ways; there are some with access to all the technology they could ever need, whereas others have very little, making accessibility to many online programmes extremely difficult. However, the purpose shared for this type of education and access in terms of a pathway is something that I don’t think is the only way, this being university. I have seen two young adults who have got their first year of post-secondary school education in the ‘school of life’. They are working long hours, saving money, developing a fantastic work ethic, gaining life skills, with all this happening outside of the university pathway. One has been promoted to a supervisor level because of his hard work! Don’t get me wrong, I have enjoyed and benefited from my tertiary education (which I began in my late 20s). However, it’s not the only way, it’s just one way. Both may go to university, but for now they are doing all right.

The right choice isn’t perfect

Kyle Maynard’s philosophy is ‘there’s always a way to figure it out’. PHOTO/GETTY IMAGES

picks one up and says ‘well, I’m making a difference for this one’. The point of the story is that small steps and small actions do matter, as they build up and compile into larger achievements. The secret is to keep doing them, as the momentum will grow and, over time, significant positive difference will be made if the repeated actions are positive. For example, the first five-minute walk on a fitness plan will seem like nothing, but the same action, growing as you become fitter, will lead to huge change and growth over time, provided the small step is repeated again and again.

A different pathway

I just read a piece in M2 Magazine written by the former Telecom CEO Theresa Gattung regarding the digital divide, particularly around learning at home during the covid-19 lockdowns. Her point

My school is in the process of implementing a programme that has been designed to ensure that children follow a pathway that will enable them to learn and implement the knowledge and skills to successfully address problems and situations in later secondary school and beyond. In my view there is no better programme to do this. However, my staff found one area that the programme doesn’t address that we feel is important. In situations like this it is easy to focus primarily on the one shortcoming, as opposed to all of the benefits. We could now choose to explore other options, looking for the ‘perfect’ programme to replace one that has had a lot of time and effort in developing. However, my feeling is that nothing is perfect and there will often be one thing that isn’t quite right, but, rather than starting again, instead look to reap the benefits from all of the positives, while implementing ‘work arounds’ to address any deficiencies. The same logic could apply to anything, from a diet based on food choices, to a gym you attend ... nothing is perfect, but they can still be the right choice for you. • Tim Nelson is principal of Lakeview School and author of the book Small Steps for a happy and purposeful life. He endeavours to learn something new every day by reading books, listening to podcasts, and engaging with a wide range of other content.

Music concerts back in town The Greytown Music Group’s ﬁrst two concerts for 2020 had to be cancelled due to covid-19 restrictions, but the third concert, Hammers & Horsehair, postponed from May 31 to June 28, will be held at St Luke’s Church, Greytown, a far more spacious venue than a house. For this concert, the Hammers & Horsehair duo Douglas Mews on fortepiano, and Robert Ibell on cello, will feature with violinist HyeWon Kim in a programme of lively music by Mozart and Beethoven. Despite writing his Piano Trio in C when he was doing badly ﬁnancially, and his wife was ill, needing expensive spa treatments, Mozart managed to compose an uncomplicated, cheerful and charming work largely free from the turmoil of his personal life. The programme also includes a Mozart Rondo, and Six Variations on “Helas, j’ai

The programme also includes a Mozart Rondo, and Six Variations on “Helas, j’ai perdu mon Amant” for violin and piano. perdu mon Amant” for violin and piano. In this year of commemorations to mark 250 years since Beethoven’s birth, Mews and Ibell will play the marvellous set of Twelve Variations on a Theme from Handel’s oratorio “Judas Maccabeus”, more familiar to many people as the hymn “Thine be the Glory”. All three musicians will join for Beethoven’s Piano Trio in G, a work which Haydn described as “too advanced” to be accepted by the general public. Beethoven was irritated by this comment, ascribing it to jealousy on Haydn’s part. Provided the testing and quarantine arrangements for those ﬂying in to NZ work as they should, and no covid-19 germs escape into the community,

the group should be back to normal concert arrangements for the concerts on August 22, pianist Sarah Watkins and violinist Andrew Beer, and pianist Richard Mapp on September 13. The missed concerts involving Bethany Angus, and the Villani group, may be ﬁtted in at some time later as well. • Hammers & Horsehair: 4pm at St Luke’s Church, Greytown, on Sunday, June 28. Admission $25, $10 for students. Bookings essential, so full tracing details of audience members can be obtained before the concert.

‘Freezing’ not for all A 67-year-old male ‘polar bear’ said he was “extremely stupid” to be having a mid-winter swim at Riversdale Beach on Sunday. And a passer-by said she wasn’t doing the Polar Bear dash because “she is not stupid”. “I am doing it because I am stupid and I am stupid every year, but I think my fur coat [his hairy chest] will keep me warm,” Dave Watt [pictured] said. One motivation in completing the winter solstice swim, he said, was so he could brag about it around town later. “I can’t make fun of the people that didn’t go in if I don’t, can I?” Advice given by organiser, surf club

PHOTO/SUPPLIED

captain Michael Taylor, was to help yourself to sunscreen and please don’t get run over by the latecomers. It was overcast and raining with a nasty southerly biting in from the beach as the 22 swimmers headed to the water. The sea itself was 10 degrees Celsius and choppy.

Taylor said the weather was “perfectly horrible” as you would expect in winter. The annual swim event is not always on the shortest day but this year it was. The swimmers were led in by 14-year-old Merissa Lamontagne, who was also the last out [pictured smiling in photo above]. She said, “It was ﬁne when I got in, not cold at all.” But most people said the water was freezing as they scrambled to grab clothes and head to the shower before enjoying a warming cup of Milo in the clubrooms. After the polar bear swim Watt reported the water to be “freezing” and conﬁrmed that he was very “stupid to do it”.

Level crossings get safety upgrade Karen Coltman While two men worked in newly dug trenches at the Revans St railway crossing on Friday, an intoxicated man wandered oﬀ the footpath and straight down the middle of the tracks with a beer in hand. KiwiRail’s signal technician Luke Dalton yelled for him to get oﬀ the tracks. He didn’t immediately, but then after a few others joined in the command, he did. It was a shortcut for

him rather than going around the block to his destination. “It’s really disappointing to see a person walking down the tracks, especially when we are doing public safety upgrades,” Dalton said. “The train timetable doesn’t show all the trains on the line, it is illegal to walk on the tracks and very, very dangerous. “Engines are moved along the tracks at various times, and logging carriages go down it. “I live in Featherston

and really don’t want to see this.” NZ Transport Agency and KiwiRail are installing new safety measures at two Featherston railway level crossings. The ﬁrst work site is at Revans St with the other to be at the Fitzherbert St crossing. The work is expected to take around six weeks. Pedestrian ‘mazes’ are going in at both crossings so that pedestrians are forced to slow down. NZTA regional transport systems manager Mark

Owen said the work will help prevent deaths and serious injuries at the level crossings. “Both of these crossings are right in town and get a lot of use by pedestrians,” he said. “For this reason, we are putting in pedestrian mazes – these are specially designed walkways that slow people down before they cross and prompt them to look up and down the track before crossing. “For drivers and people on bikes and motorcycles,

we’re improving the signs and markings around these crossings, a simple but eﬀective way of warning people they are approaching a railway line.” Drivers should expect minor delays while this work is under way in the coming weeks. A temporary speed limit reduction is in place around the Revans St crossing. A temporary pedestrian crossing will mean people can still cross on foot.

Federated Farmers is relieved that its advocacy for farmers to be able to apply for endorsements to use prohibited firearms for pest control has succeeded. A Supplementary Order Paper has been introduced to the Arms Legislation Bill that allows agricultural and forestry businesses to apply for endorsements to use prohibited firearms for pest control as part of their business operations without having to establish a separate pest control company to carry out the work. “Since the prohibition of centrefire and large magazine capacity semiautomatic firearms from general ownership in New Zealand, Federated Farmers has been working with the Government to ensure that those farming properties with significant pest animal problems will still be able to access the pest control tools they need, while not compromising public safety,” Federated Farmers rural security spokesman Miles Anderson says. “We would like to thank NZ First for their common sense approach to this matter, and the wider Government for

Federated Farmers has been working with the Government to ensure that those farming properties with significant pest animal problems will still be able to access the pest control tools they need. recognising that there remains a limited need for the controlled use of these firearms in rural New Zealand.” Landowners who require prohibited firearms for pest control will be able to apply for an endorsement to do this as part of their existing business, just like DOC, regional council and professional pest control staff do. There is a strict vetting and qualification criteria for farmers, who will have to clearly demonstrate their suitability and that prohibited firearms are needed to control the economic and environmental damage of problem species such as feral pigs, feral goats, deer, wallabies, rabbits, hares and Canada geese.

The Apprenticeship Support Programme will make the transition and retention of new workers a lot easier, benefiting farmers, workers and the economy as we rebound from the effects of covid-19.

Apprentice scheme backed

The Government’s Apprenticeship Support Programme announcement is a win for farm employers and workers, says Federated Farmers employment spokesman Chris Lewis. The programme provides $380 million for employers to take on and train apprentices under approved apprenticeship programmes, and will be implemented from August 2020. “Covid-19 has unfortunately meant a lot of New Zealanders are looking for work. “Fortunately, the farming sector has been able to continue working through and there is strong demand for workers, particularly given restrictions on immigration. While the industry still needs to hang on to all the experienced staﬀ that we have, including migrants, this extra investment will help Kiwis from other sectors make the move into agriculture,” Lewis said. One of the key

problems farmers face is the costs associated with taking on and training new staff, who are new to the sector. “The Apprenticeship Support programme addresses some of those costs, providing an incentive and support for farmers looking to take on inexperienced staff and support for workers transitioning to farming. “Existing programmes such as the Federated Farmers Apprenticeship Dairy scheme can be critical for training and retaining good staff,” Lewis said. The Federated Farmers-Rabobank Farm Remuneration Report underlines the number of well-paid roles and progression pathways in the farming sectors, combined with a great lifestyle. “The Apprenticeship Support Programme will make the transition and retention of new workers a lot easier, benefiting farmers, workers and the economy as we rebound from the effects of covid-19,” Lewis said.

Claire Edwards and Troy Bramley of Tora Collective.

Kaimoana: From sea to the plate Sally Round You’ve heard of entrepreneurs bottling pristine alpine air to sell to people in polluted cities. Now, a Wairarapa fishing couple are selling a taste of their isolated bay. Troy Bramley and Claire Edwards are trying to fish as sustainably as possible, shunning plastic and polystyrene for seaweed and compostable boxes, bringing traditional kaimoana to Kiwis from sea to plate. The Tora Collective, as they brand themselves, is concerned the best quality crayfish and paua is being exported and they want more New Zealanders to be able to experience the kaimoana as if they’ve dived for it themselves. When he was a boy growing up on the Wairarapa coast, Bramley remembers long days chucking in cray pots off the rocks and foraging for paua. He still lives and breathes the coast and the small settlement of Tora where he launches his fishing boat Takitimu. Here, dramatic Wairarapa hill country collides with the surf and the bay where Troy and a few other small-scale fishers drop their pots and dive for kaimoana. While much of New Zealand’s best quality rock lobster and paua heads offshore to the lucrative Chinese market,

Harvesting from the ocean, we don’t want to be ending up trashing the ocean. It would be so wrong. Bramley and Edwards want to see more of it for New Zealanders. “Crayfish and paua are the crown jewels of New Zealand’s coastline and Kiwis should be getting the best of it,” Bramley said. “We shouldn’t be getting the dregs of the export market.” The couple has developed a sea-to-plate business, Tora Collective, supplying restaurants in Auckland, Wellington and Hawke’s Bay as well as individual consumers. When restaurants closed over the lockdown, their online business took off and they were surprised at the demand. Bramley owns and leases quota to fish the area and he’s trying to do it as sustainably as possible. They’ve voluntarily increased the size of female crayfish they take by two millimetres. As the Takitimu pitches and rolls in the easterly swell, Bramley flips one of the lobsters over showing a spongy mass underneath the tail. There are hundreds of thousands of eggs there ready to hatch. “That’s our future,”

he said, gently placing it down a chute back to the sea. He’s pleased to see lots of juveniles in the traps. It’s a healthy sign. Before heading back to shore, the legal catch is placed in holding pots off the beach until it’s time for delivery. While Bramley’s at sea, Edwards forages onshore for beachcast seaweed, used for keeping the live crays fresh and comfortable during delivery. She said they had been working on the packaging for a long time. Natural wool lines the compostable boxes which are kept cool with an ice pack of seawater for boiling the crays later. “Everything goes in your garden and the box can go in the recycling bin, she said. “It’s a totally ecofriendly package as well as being a zero-carbon delivery. “Harvesting from the ocean, we don’t want to be ending up trashing the ocean. It would be so wrong.” The fishers are hoping the measures they’re taking in their own patch will boost the fishery and New Zealanders’ connection with a once traditional food source. “It’s a feel-good thing. If we can provide the best kaimoana to the people, then I feel good about it,” Bramley said. – rnz.co.nz

What does freedom mean?

Wai Write

Calvin Winterbottom

According to the fountain of knowledge and the oracle of wisdom better known as the Oxford English Dictionary, the word Ethical or Ethics are deﬁned as: Of Morals, Morally Right and In Keeping With High Standards How can the human race believe that we have ethics, morals or high standards when there are people starving or living on the streets, while others are stinking rich and don’t give a toss about them. Some people even believe that swearing is acceptable, ignoring the fact that this disrespects others. Many people believe that the only thing in life worth having is money. Money does not bring happiness. The facts are that the world really is kill or be killed, take no prisioners, money does not bring happiness and it really is survival of the ﬁttest. According to the United Nations Human Rights Law, which every country in the world signed in 1948, everyone is entitled to Freedom of Speech, Freedom Of Expression, Peoples Privacy, Religious Freedom, Freedom from Discrimination and have the power and right to express their opinions

without censorship, restraint or legal penalty. The UN Human Rights treaty also allows everyone the right to seek, receive and impart information and ideas free of any frontiers including oral, written, printed, art form or any other form of media, including the Internet. How can the human race count itself as ethical, moral or civilised when not only looking through human history, but even nowadays all we see is wars, death and destruction.

The same year the UN Human Rights treaty was signed, a writer called George Orwell wrote a book called 1984. In this book he had a company called Big Brother who watched over everything that everybody did and censored them for their own security, basically dictating what they could, say and do. Nowadays we have those in charge using photo recognition software against us, to spy on what we are doing. Our mobile phones and other electronic can be traced.

At the same political correctness censors what we can say and do, even the internet is being vetted for things that people disagree with and have them deleted. Another vitally important thing about the internet is that any picture you put on the net can be copied and printed by anyone. How can all this spying on us be ethically or morally right. Those people in charge are controlling what we, others and our children see and do without our permission.

This is what Orwell warned us about, with no freedom to express ourselves and what we see and do censored, the world is basically ran by dictators. Whether people like it or not sexism and racism are two-way streets. How can people condone one section of society being racist or sexist but not the other, both breaking each other’s human rights of equality. This is the unfortunate reality of the human world we have created, so how can the human race claim to have ethics, morals, respect and high standards. Everything I have written is unfortunately true. If you don’t believe me just watch the news. Wars, murder, killing, deceit, greed and rape these are the real currency of the community called the human race. I hope this gives you something to ponder over.

United squander chance of victory FOOTBALL

Chris Cogdale Squandered chances came back to haunt Tumu ITM Wairarapa United as North Wellington scored a late equaliser for a surprise 1-1 draw in the W-League match at Trust House Memorial Park on Saturday. A late red card didn’t help United’s chances, but this was a game they should have put out of reach early on. United withstood some early pressure from the visitors but once they found their rhythm dominated possession and territory. New Zealand Under-17 international Nina Kondo, fellow teenager Tui Dugan and captain Meisha Boone controlled the midfield superbly and provided the frontline ample opportunities, only for the final pass to go astray, the shot on goal to be off target or to hit the framework. Coach Paul Ifill said that it was a game they should’ve won. “We probably had about 20 chances and even when we were down to ten, we still dominated, but the final pass and execution wasn’t there,” he said. “I can’t fault the girls’ work ethic, it didn’t quite happen, we could have easily won by six or seven.” United did finally breakthrough in the dying minutes of the first half when striker Sam Whyte hit a firm cross which the goalkeeper could only parry to the feet of Dugan for an easy tap in and her third goal in three games.

United’s dominance continued in the second stanza, but again they were let down by poor execution of the final pass, a wayward shot, or a player being pulled up for offside. In one tenminute period Ifill estimated they were whistled for seven offsides, most of those against Amber Phillips, who had a game she’d rather forget. The lanky striker was booked for a solid tackle in the first half and was controversially shown a second yellow card for an innocuous challenge on the goalkeeper with about 20 minutes to play, a decision that Ifill found confusing. “The ref said Amber kicked the goalkeeper, but it didn’t look like she had made any contact and none of the Norths players claimed anything.” United’s lack of composure came back to bite them in the 81st minute when North Wellington made a rare foray into the United box and a square ball was neatly tucked into the net. “I could sense it coming,” Ifill said. “I don’t think they’d even been in our box and a little bit of sloppy defending and they scored.” Even down to ten players United still had their chances for a late winner but it wasn’t to be, and they had to settle for a share of the points.

Dalefield teams still unbeaten HOCKEY

Chris Cogdale The Dalefield men’s and women’s teams continued their unbeaten starts to their Hockey Wellington premierships, cruising to easy victories at Clareville on Saturday.

WOMEN

Dalefield 6 Toa 0 Dalefield coach Michael O’Connor was thrilled with the team’s third straight win to continue their unbeaten start to the women’s premiership. Toa were expected to set up defensively against the competition frontrunners but that didn’t prevent the Dalefield strikers creating havoc among the visitor’s backline. The early dominance paid off with Jenna Anderson finding the back of goal twice in the first quarter, before Dalefield hit a bit of a slump. “Our first quarter was really good,” O’Connor explained. “Our passes looked good right from the get-go with good distance passes and we were beating the players with the ball a lot, but then in the second quarter we sort of fell away a bit. “We talked about it after the game and we don’t know why, but we went a bit tentative and we

were getting too close to them and made too much contact with their players.” Despite the blip, Dalefield increased their lead through Jaylin Dawson for a 3-0 halftime scoreline. Dalefield found their form again in the final two quarters, with goals to Felicity Reidy [two] and player of the day Brigitte Mossman for an important bonus point victory. Although O’Connor said

everyone played well, he had special praise for some of the younger players in the team “Amy Bunny and Jamie Hicks-Wilton were strong at the back and one of our schoolgirls who played really well was Reese Robertson, who had a very strong game in midfield.” O’Connor said the players are starting to set quite high standards for themselves. “We talked after the

game that we were happy that we won and we won quite well but we still have a lot to work on and the girls want to improve each week and that’s the right attitude.”

MEN

Dalefield 6 Northern United 0 Dalefield scored their third bonus point win and took their goal tally to 21 for and zero against after three rounds of the men’s premiership.

The defending champions were always favoured to register a big win against Northern United, who are struggling winless at the bottom of the table. After withstanding some early pressure from the visitors, Dalefield took control and opened the scoring when player-coach Dane Lett finished off a well-executed penalty corner. A field goal to Alex Sumencko-Bucknell made the score 2-0 at the end of the first quarter. Lett added a second from a penalty corner [PC], and Benedict van Woerkom scored a brilliant individual goal with a reverse shot for a 4-0 halftime lead. Dalefield were unable to add to their tally in the third quarter, but goals to Dylan Price and a third to Lett from a PC in the final quarter wrapped up the scoring. Lett was pleased they found some form at PC time, after some struggles in earlier games. “It was good to convert a few, we still left a few out there when we didn’t get our trap and drag right but it was good to get a few in the goal,” he said. Despite the team scoring plenty of goals Lett said the most pleasing aspect of

the performance was the defence. “We’re always going to score goals, it’s just a matter of keeping the other team out, so keeping them to zero was our goal and to get six was okay but I thought we should’ve had a lot more. “I’d probably give us a pass mark but there’s still a whole lot of room for improvement for us. I think we’re just a bit inconsistent at the moment, we’re flowing in and out of matches a bit too much.” Lett singled out two of the younger players for praise. “Ethan Presow and Nathan Whiteman both had one of their better games for Dalefield. They stood up and really held their own and it was good to see them show a bit of confidence.” Dalefield has the bye next weekend and Lett said they will concentrate on a good week of training before they play traditional rivals Hutt United on July 4. “We’re just trying to get better each game and just holding our standards on how we attack and defend, because we know we can’t just pretend to switch it on when we come up against a good opposition.”

COOLER MATES JIM BEAM WHITE LABEL BOURBON WHISKEY Since 1795, Jim Beam has been crafted by the Beam family and distilled with a strong sense of family values. Seven generations later, it’s still made with those same values and aged twice as long as the law requires. Elegant. Smooth. Refined. That’s what 4 years of aging in newly charred American white oak barrels does to Jim Beam bourbon. But every drop is worth the effort, and the Beam family love the idea of sticking to their great-great-grandfather’s recipe. Perhaps that’s why, today, Jim Beam stands as the World’s #1 Bourbon.
