A night on patrol

DHB looks at after-hours clinic options Cal Roberts

There’s a group of volunteers who drive around the streets of Wairarapa, making sure residents are safe. EMILY IRELAND finds out what the job is all about. It’s 10pm on a Friday night, and I’d normally be tucked up in bed. But not tonight. Instead, I’m waiting outside at the back of the Masterton police station, ready to hit the road with the Masterton Community Patrol. It’s one of those cold still nights where your breath transforms into clouds of vapour before your eyes, and you can hear shouts from

people across town enjoying the end of their week with a beer – or seven. The police compound gate slides open and the community patrol car glides out. In the driver’s seat is patrol coordinator Cheryl Watson – when she’s not volunteering, she’s working as a paramedic for Wellington Free Ambulance. If nominations were open for Wairarapa’s superwoman,

I’m sure she would be a frontrunning contender. In the front passenger seat is Sarah Mail – she wants to be a police officer like her dad, and is going through the recruitment process. Her day job is working at a local bakery. Kicking off the four-hour shift, we called in to a local petrol station to grab a coffee. Continued on page 4

Plans for a new after-hours medical service, open longer than current options, are being looked into by the Wairararpa District Health Board (DHB). At Monday’s DHB meeting, Board member Adrienne Staples moved to explore options on a model of after-hours healthcare that would work best for Wairarapa. One model suggested in the agenda was a seven-day-a-week urgent care clinic based at Wairarapa Hospital which would help people with medical issues that could not wait for a doctor’s appointment but did require emergency care. It is envisaged the clinic would see patients with problems such as sprains, cuts and broken bones, and high fevers and illnesses, treated without the need for an appointment. The proposed urgent care clinic would operate at the hospital until 9pm each day, with the emergency department continuing to cover primary care when the clinic was closed. Patients would arrive at the same entrance, before being directed to the appropriate unit. Masterton’s current after hours service is open on weekends, from 9am-5pm, with four clinics in South Wairarapa and Carterton open one day each, from 5-7pm, Monday to Thursday. In the ﬁrst three months of 2018, more than 1100 patients were seen at Wairarapa’s current after-hours services. Papers prepared for the DHB by Compass Health stated the demand for services was increasing with the region’s population, as were expectations of services in terms of timeliness and accessibility. An urgent care service would give prompt access to medical experts, Compass Health said. Masterton Medical Centre general manager Robyn Wilson said it was open to any discussion that may improve after-hours service for patients.

Oldest person dies Cal Roberts Weeks after her 111th birthday, Madeline Anderson has died. Thought to be New Zealand’s oldest person, she was born in May 1907. Recently of Masterton, Madeline died peacefully last Tuesday – her daughter, Heather List, by her side. List said though she was sad, the family had been prepared. “She’s lived such a long time.” In 1941, Madeline married Harry Anderson, and moved to Upper Hutt in 1947. She lived there until July last year, when she moved in with her daughter and son-in-law Rob in Masterton. Madeline lived on her own until she was 110, aided by the immense support of people who knew and loved her. “People used to just love helping.” List said people often asked for her mother’s “secret” to living such a long time. Her answer: compassion and prayer. Madeline’s own loving and accepting nature was reciprocated by people

around her. She wasn’t “gushy” with her love, but considerate of others’ needs – choosing to show it in deeds rather than words. List said her mother would pray often – something that aided her longevity. “I believe prayer is rejuvenating for the body as well as the soul.”

She said her mother was very involved, but seldom in the spotlight. “These days there’s so much focus on leadership – but leaders need followers.” Madeline enjoyed playing bridge until she was 102, when her eyesight worsened making it too difficult to read the cards. The eldest of four

daughters, Anderson was born in Dunedin to John Andrew Orlowski and his Scottish wife Jane [nee Robinson]. She was the last surviving of her siblings, who remained close throughout their lives. Madeline Anderson was farewelled at a funeral in Upper Hutt last week.

Wairarapa nurses to strike Cal Roberts Nurses will take national strike action for 24 hours on July 5, including Masterton Hospital, following failed negotiation over pay and working conditions. The strike notice was received by the Wairarapa District Health Board (DHB) last week, and will force the closure of outpatient clinics, elective surgery, and the day procedures unit. The rehabilitation unit will be running only limited services, but the emergency department, paediatric inpatient

ward, acute surgery, high-dependency units, maternity and some adult inpatient services will remain open. Community nursing services will have limited cover, but child and adolescent mental health services will operate as normal. The adult mental health unit will not be booking routine appointments but will be available for crisis and respite support, as well as for after-hours services. Wairarapa DHB chief executive Adri Isbister said it would have to carefully manage the

services it can provide during the strike, which is due to start at 7am. “We expect to maintain only the very minimum of services during the strike, and all outpatient clinics will be closed. She said preparations had already begun and some services, like elective surgery, would have to close well before the strike date to ensure the number of patients in the hospital on July 5 was minimal. “Wairarapa District Health Board is preparing to defer all elective services provided at Wairarapa Hospital, and reduce the level of services

provided to enable us to cope with the strike action. “Our number one priority is patient safety.” Isbister said Wairarapa DHB had a deep respect for its nurses, healthcare assistants and midwives. “We respect their right to take industrial action and we know it is not a decision made lightly. “We are committed to negotiating in good faith and we still hope for a resolution that works for all parties.” Notice for a second, 24-hour strike from 7am on July 12 was expected this week.

Kuranui dance students step out into the world Move over ‘Dancing with the Stars’, because Kuranui College is taking dance to the world. Dance teacher Karin Melchior and a group of senior dance students will be attending a worldwide dance conference in Adelaide during the July school holidays. daCi (dance and the Child International) along with World Dance Alliance are hosting the Panpapanpalya Conference, a gathering of dancers, artists and educators who hope to generate new ideas and thoughts through dance. Interwoven themes that will be explored are dance, gathering, generations and learning. There will be workshops, presentations, social interactions and debates along with performances and creative meeting points. Year 12 student Amelia Butcher is excited to be going. “It’s a chance for us to learn about different types of dance, not just ballet and contemporary dance,” she said. She’s also looking forward to attending workshops where she hopes to meet likeminded people and share in their experiences and knowledge.

The conference will also focus on indigenous cultural dances from around the world. Ms Melchior believes these conferences are very important as dance is seen as a way for people to express themselves and give a voice to their lives. “It gives our students an opportunity to connect with other dancers from around the world and to learn from experienced tutors and educators,” she said. Getting to Adelaide is not cheap and the senior dance group of Amelia Butcher, Betsy Laybourn, Zoe Edwards, Awhina Southey and Izzy Wisler have been hard at work fundraising for their trip. Along with selling raffle tickets for firewood, they are selling chocolate, and holding bake sales at Kuranui College, which has been fully supported by the other students. To complete their efforts, they are combining with dance group In Motion, to present a dance spectacular. This one-off performance on Tuesday July 3 at Kuranui College promises to be highly entertaining and is a good chance to help celebrate and support them in their dance adventures.

Keeping our communities safe Continued from page 1 There’s a girl at the counter – she’s on the night shift alone and grins as she sees Cheryl and Sarah walk in. Their presence is a comfort to the lone petrol station worker – “we check up on a few of them to let them know they’re not alone”. As the coffees are being made, Cheryl points out a car that is waiting at the pump, engine running, windows open – “there’s been a few drive-offs,” she said to me, “so we like to keep an eye out, especially when there’s only one person working”. Before long we’re back on the road visiting points of interest like the train station, parks and reserves, and industrial areas – Sarah is taking down notes with vehicle number plates which may come in handy for police if an incident unfolds overnight in the area. The Masterton Community Patrol is volunteer run but has a memorandum of understanding with the police. Their aim is to empower communities to prevent crime and create safer environments through the utilisation of trained and equipped volunteer patrols. They maintain a strong and mutually supportive working partnership with police and work to prevent criminal activity. They are the extra “eyes and ears” of the police, Cheryl said.

Preparing for the worst

We drive into Queen Elizabeth Park, and see a group of people huddled around cars near the boatshed. As we pull closer, a man signals for us to turn around and mind our own business – Sarah gives the police a call to check up on them. At another park, a lone car is fogged up with what seems to be a couple

spending time together in the back seat – “well at least we know they’re okay”, Cheryl said. Since Cheryl started with the patrol in 2007, she has seen a lot of changes. The patrol has gone from being a very small group to quite a professional one with a sign-written car, uniforms, and a dash cam for safety – “things can happen very quickly . . . it is an extra pair of eyes and records what is happening in front of us,” Cheryl said. The 12 volunteers involved in Masterton Community Patrols are all trained in basic first aid – just in case. Cheryl recalls the darkest day on the job for her – it was the night of the fatal Queen St crash in February 2016 in which two teenage boys died. “We were practically the first on scene bar one police officer. “We were working on scene with the police until the ambulance arrived . . . and subsequently went on to help the ambulance services right through to 5am, both at the scene and at ED. “Tragically, two young lives were lost.” Another big night was about a decade ago when the community patrol assisted police with the foiling of a burglary at the Kuripuni Tavern. “They had basically broken in through the back gates and were helping themselves to plenty of beer.” But lately there had been fewer “catches”, Cheryl said. Nowadays, they dealt mostly with prevention and proactive patrolling. This included keeping an eye out for “vulnerable people” who were finding their way home intoxicated.

Keeping an eye out

“We’ve observed at times people who are so intoxicated that they are literally taking one step forward and five back,” Cheryl said.

The Masterton Community patrol were recently donated $930 from Z Masterton as part of the petrol station’s ‘Good in the Hood’ campaign. PHOTOS/EMILY IRELAND

“We have seen them falling into people’s hedges, and we see them going up and down driveways because they can’t work out which one is their home. “In a winter night, if someone collapses and is out overnight, there’s a high chance they are going to get hypothermia and die. “We don’t want that happening to anybody, and also we don’t want someone who is vulnerable being attacked.” She said oftentimes the patrol would keep an eye on vulnerable looking people from a distance to make sure they get home safe. As the night approaches 1am, there’s a crowd forming outside Jackson St Bar – one man is peeing on the side of the building, and two girls are talking with raised voices to each other. Others are stumbling about using friends as crutches. This was tame though for a Friday night. As sad as Cheryl was about the declining nightlife in Masterton over the years, it had resulted in fewer alcohol-related incidents around town, she said. Drink-driving was still an issue though, and the

patrol often gives police a heads up if they have seen someone stumble into their vehicle and begin driving. This didn’t seem to be an issue tonight though, and before I knew it, 2am had come along and the shift was over. As I hopped back into my own car, which was frozen over by this stage, I considered myself lucky to live in a town where a group of people volunteered their time to

make sure the rest of us are safe.

Wairarapa patrols

There are four community patrols in Wairarapa: Masterton, Carterton, Featherston, and Martinborough. They are affiliated with Community Patrols of New Zealand and there is a police liaison officer allocated to work with them. Their job is to note anything that could be

suspicious and to inform police immediately of incidents requiring urgent attention. In turn, police notify the patrol of suspicious activities and trouble spots they would like the patrol to keep an eye on, as well as informing the patrol of events occurring in the area.

Coie remembered Emily Ireland and Gareth Winter Marion O’Brien, better known as Coie, was the type of person who was never caught in an idle moment. Even at the age of 99, the Masterton woman was still driving, and living in a place of her own – up until recently. Last Monday, the Tinui stalwart and keen supporter of many rural activities, died at the age of 99. Coie was born in Masterton and was the elder daughter of Samuel O’Hara and his wife Winifred (nee Street). Her father worked on a farm in Gladstone, then moved to the Tinui district, eventually buying a farm at the Tinui/Langdale corner. The corner is still marked by the nearby O’Hara’s Bridge. Coie started at Whareama School but then shifted to Mangapakeha School, where she remained until 1932, leaving to work on her parent’s farm. It was hard work – there was no electricity in the district, and her father’s dairy herd was all hand milked. She later recalled that she was a teenager when the Depression hit, and family life changed: they stopped going to town; clothes,

which were always homemade any way, were made from remnants; and the vegetable garden got bigger. Her links to the Women’s Institute began before she was born – Coie’s mother, aunt and grandmother were foundation members of the Tinui Women’s Institute. In 1934, Coie joined, aged 15, because she was interested in the community and wanted to be involved in all goings-on. She remained a member for 84 years. In July 1944 she married Donald James O’Brien whom she met at a dance in the Whareama Hall. They were married in St Matthew’s Church hall, the church having been demolished after the 1942 earthquake. They started married life at Pirinoa, then moved to their own 365-hectare farm at Tinui, ‘Eastwood’. They had three children. Donald died aged 52 in 1963, and their sonin-law Peter Hammond managed ‘Eastwood’ while Coie shifted into Essex St, Masterton. But doing nothing had never been an option for her and in 1998 she bought a 22-acre farm where she had “one hundred ewes to keep me going,” she once told the Times-Age. Coie was an active

supporter of the Masterton A & P Association and a long-term member of the Wairarapa Branch of the NZ Founders Society. Founders Society Wairarapa branch president Anne Woodley said Coie was a very knowledgeable lady and had been a member of the branch for 43 years. – “her knowledge of family histories was incredible”. “She also had a deep love of horses and went to watch them at every show here. “She was deeply involved in the farming community, Orchid Society, everything you can think of. “She was just an incredible lady with an incredible memory.” Until recently Coie regularly drove out to Tinui and Castlepoint to catch up with the news and to have a meal at the seaside. When asked was the secret of her longevity was she replied: “I don’t drink, I don’t smoke and I went horse riding”. Coie’s funeral was held on Monday. She was pre-deceased by her daughter Maureen, her son David, and a grandchild. She is survived by her daughter Shelley, six grandchildren, and nine great-grandchildren.

Outreach needed down south Isolation continues to be a huge issue for people accessing mental health support, according to a front-line worker. The manager of mental health provider King St Artworks Ian Chapman says their open-door policy is essential as it recognises that early intervention and self-directed care is vital for a healthier and more resilient community. But based only in Masterton, some people are missing out on the service, Mr Chapman said. He hopes that the review of Mental Health & Addiction Services – currently underway at both a local and national level – will recognise the problems and an outreach in South Wairarapa could eventuate. “We need to reestablish a link with South Wairarapa so that we are not restricting people’s access because of difficulties getting to Masterton,” Mr Chapman said. He said isolation was not just confined to geography, with an increase in the number of new people accessing the service who have moved to the region from Auckland and other main centres attracted by the cheaper cost of living. “For some of them

For some of them they don’t have family or friends here and can quickly become isolated increasing the risk of depression and anxiety. they don’t have family or friends here and can quickly become isolated increasing the risk of depression and anxiety.” King St Artworks has been operating in Masterton for 21-years. Its main purpose is to provide a safe and inclusive community in which individuals can maintain or regain their mental wellness through creative expression. While art is the focus, which is “obviously not for everybody”, King St Artworks acts as a community space for people to connect. “We have a lot of peer support that happens naturally here, and friendships build up quickly so people that do come here do so for the contact, and inevitably those friendships trickle out in the community.” It is the only DHBfunded creative-space in New Zealand with an open-door policy, meaning

a referral from a GP or medical practitioner is not required. Wairarapa DHB is the principal funder, however King St Artworks is also reliant on grant applications from organisations such as the Trust House Foundation which this year has given $13,000 to assist with operational costs. Mr Chapman said Trust House has shown a keen interest in the mental health and wellbeing of the community and this is reflected in the growing support they have given King St Artworks in recent years. The number of people coming into King St Artworks varies between 35 to 65 per day. There is a core of people who come every day and then a flux of those who will use the service when they need to, Mr Chapman said. “As an early intervention and self-directed care model, people could be here for a couple of weeks which on its own is not necessarily a quick fix, what’s important is having a continuity of service.”

Eco bag exchange

‘Beautiful game’ back

Jessica Morris Supermarket shoppers in Masterton will be able to exchange their old plastic supermarket bags for reusable jute shopping bags free of charge this week. Customers at Countdown, Pak’n Save, and New World will be able to exchange five plastic shopping bags for a jute bag from Friday, at Masterton supermarkets, and a Masterton District Council pop-up stall. The initiative is a collaboration with shared funding between the three supermarkets, Masterton District Council and Trust House. The project will see 3300 jute bags available at each supermarket, with returned plastic bags made into reusable products in collaboration with Te Awhina House Community. Council environmental and sustainability advisor Agnes Piatek-Bednarek told the community wellbeing committee this week the initiative was an important step that Masterton should be proud of. “It’s such a good story about our own community, so we should be proud of that.” Mayor Lyn Patterson

said the supermarkets were behind the idea since it was first raised a year ago. “What was really pleasing about this was that our three big supermarkets, although one of them is a different company to the other two, they all came on board with this.” “It’s estimated that each adult in New Zealand uses six plastic bags per week, and for only 12 minutes, on average,” Ms Patterson said. “Focusing on reducing bags used for grocery shopping makes sense as one of our first initiatives,

but we will continue to expand our focus into other areas, including how we might be able to reduce the use of council bags used for rubbish collection. “The timing of this initiative also enables us to help our communities do their part in reducing plastic use during Plastic Free July – a global campaign encouraging people to refuse single-use plastic during the month.” Pop-up exchange tents will be open on June 29 at Pak’n Save (9-11am), Countdown (11.30am1.30pm), and New World (2-4pm).

Insolence, pouting, neck stroking, tonsorial excesses, and God forbid, ball kissing – it must be football World Cup time again. This quadrennial expo shows off the best of the “beautiful game”. Certainly, there’ll be diving of a standard that’ll eclipse anything springboard two-time gold medal winner Greg Louganis ever did. What could be the catch cry for the whole tournament? “Enjoy the trip.” I know, I’m only pulling your shirt. Talk to me about the hosiery. When did it become okay for blokes to wear socks that rise up over the knee like some sort of eighties girlie leg warmers? Is the Jane Fonda workout video look back already? Only this time, for men? In the 60s we were bemused by the goal celebrations of European players with team mates hugging, kissing and the

occasional bit of heavy petting. Back then, after scoring a try, kiwi rugby players would walk back to halfway looking like they’d just put down the family cat. Nowadays we have these pile-ons where most of the team scramble all over each other in some sort of orgiastic ritual. To be fair, rugby players have caught up and now engage in hugging, kissing and a bit of the other. Roll forward another 50 years and what will be going on then? It doesn’t bear thinking about. The football purist (read tragic) gets off on watching a twelve-pass sequence that ends in a 40-metre back pass to the goalkeeper who hoofs it downfield where it inevitably goes to the other team. Why? However, when it comes to resilience I have to take my hat off to football players. They are undoubtedly the most resilient players

of any sporting code. You see these players go down writhing in agony, almost as if they’ve been injured and so pain-wracked that they don’t know whether to clutch their left foot or their right foot or knee or hip or whatever little remains of their dignity. Only a minute later and they’re up making Usain Bolt look tardy. It’s impressive. The hook up between FIFA and Google is great. Google “2018 world cup” and you get the most recent match results immediately complete with YouTube links for each game showing the highlights in two-minute video clips. What joy, eliminating the 88 unnecessary minutes of back passes, gesticulating managers, and referees brandishing vanishing spray at free kicks. What do we look forward to in the quarters, semis and final? Soulless draws and interminable extra time with matches decided by the lottery of penalty shootout. Save the bother and go back to the old system; do it on the toss of a coin.

Hurray for Hellebores!

MOON CALENDAR

We’ve had our fair share of rainy, gloomy days lately, but this doesn’t mean we have to have a dreary garden! We have many colour solutions at GardenBarn, including a wonderful range of Winter Roses. Hellebores/Winter Roses begin their delightful floral display in winter, continuing through spring. They’re popular because they are quick to establish, easy care, long lived, suited to our climate and most set seed well, soon establishing colonies around the parent plant. One of the hardest parts is going to be choosing your favourite from our selection at GardenBarn! Most Hellebores do best in partial shade in summer, but they prefer plenty of light in winter - making them ideal for underneath deciduous trees. They need free draining soil, and often do well on banks. One of the common causes of poor performance is waterlogged soil. Dig in some gypsum and add some mulch to help with this. They are one of the few plants that can be grown in shallow containers. Did you know that Hellebores make wonderful indoor plants as well (but keep them away from animals and children). Enjoy their beauty while they’re looking ‘Blooming Great’ and then plant them outside later.

NEW MOON - June 14TH FULL MOON - June 28TH

MOON PLANTING TIPS THIS WEEK June 27 – July 2. This is the full moon so cultivate only, harvest crops, work soil, deal to weeds, turn your compost heap.

Ruby Daydream: This would look great inside! Upright dark burgundy blooms with contrasting yellow stamens.

Plant In Pots: Planting in pots is such a great idea for those who are renting, don’t have a large garden area, or for just brightening up the back porch! Although Hellebores are very easy care, they would appreciate a feed in autumn with some organic material (sheep pellets or blood and bone). Be aware of over fertilising - too

TIME IS TICKING!

much can cause excessive leaf growth but poor flowers. Feed with Kings Rose Food just before new growth appears to improve the abundance & colour of flowers.

GROSAFE TRIFECTA

Cinderella: How pretty is she! White speckled and ruffled flowers, which will flower a bit later as she belongs to the ‘Orientalis family. When you’re picking your blooms for cut flowers, choose only fully mature stems to avoid them “nodding” almost immediately. If your plants become overgrown you can divide and replant them in spring (just after they have finished flowering). As with lots of plants now there seems to be more and more varieties being bred – pictured are some that we have in stock, but remember, there is limited numbers so if there’s one that particularly takes your fancy, don’t delay, come and see us at GardenBarn today!

Tutu: Bred for superior ﬂowering with unique semi-double dusky pink to mauve, slightly speckled ﬂowers. It’s central pleate creates a lovely frilled appearance.

July 3 – 4: Sow more rows of root crops, spray pests & diseases.

John and Jenny (Mum and Dad) have always nurtured beautiful gardens, so our homes, in the Cotswolds, were always full of outdoor life. Dad’s vegie beds provided produce, either to be eaten fresh, or pickled for later. Gardening books are still a source of inspiration for them.

Mum is also an artist and calligrapher, so she’s sent over wonderful texts, including a huge boxed book about New Zealand artist, Goldie, found in a tiny bookshop in Stroud. Recently, we bought a similarly impressive item on Von Tempsky, by the same publishers.

MIDWEEK PHOTOS

Community patrol like guardian angels Piece of mind

Opinion

Emily Ireland Is it just me that finds it incredible that a handful of Wairarapa people give up their own time to make sure the rest of us stay safe? I’m talking about community patrols in Wairarapa. Last week, I was fortunate enough to have been invited on a ridealong with the Masterton Community Patrol, and I feel all the safer for taking part. When people asked me how I found it and whether anything exciting happened, I found myself coming back to the same point of interest that struck me most on the night. No, nothing ‘exciting’ happened – but that’s because the volunteers and our local police are doing their jobs well. Cheryl, the patrol coordinator mentioned how over the years there had been a shift from making ‘catches’ to working on a

preventative and proactive basis. This included making sure people who were vulnerable and/or intoxicated got home safe after a night out; identifying women and men who were walking home alone and asking if they would like the patrol to keep an eye on them from afar. An act of genuine compassion like this in our community gives me hope after incidents like the rape and murder of up-and-coming Melbourne comedian Eurydice Dixon this month. The 22-year-old – she was only a year younger than me – had been making her way home from a comedy gig late at night. She was only a few hundred metres from her home when the attack happened. After tragedy strikes, our first instinct as humans is to

CUTIES OF THE WEEK

ask ourselves the big “what if?” What if Eurydice had not gone out that night? What if she had been walking home with other people? What if she hadn’t walked through a park? What if people didn’t feel the need to rape and murder each other? Afterall, it’s this last issue that is the real problem isn’t it? Unfortunately, we can only change our own behaviours and not other people’s which is why it is so easy to rest our frustrations on questions like the first three. After the ridealong with the Community Patrol, who actively make sure vulnerable people can get home safely, the question I find myself asking is, how many times have they helped avoid a Eurydice Dixon incident in the Wairarapa. When people ask me if anything ‘exciting’ happened on patrol, I think to myself, “no, and thank God for that”.

ENVIROSCHOOLS IN ACTION

Extra

Ali Mackisack Enviroschools Facilitator, Masterton

It may have been raining, but the weather hasn’t dampened the enthusiasm of our local Enviroschools.The Enviro Team at Fernridge has been busy in the kitchen, turning surplus produce into marmalade and jam, to sell at their Book Fair. It was all hands on deck, cutting, peeling, and boiling, and the scraps went to the worm farm and compost bins to be used later in the school’s gardens. Also for sale at their western-themed stall, were gorgeous beeswax wraps. The bees had worked hard to produce the wax, and the children were as busy as those bees, measuring and cutting fabric, grating the wax, melting it onto the fabric and hanging the wraps up to dry. Another popular item sold were bowls of fruit, with the bowls made from shredded recycled paper. Also working hard were the Green Team at Masterton Primary School, who had the task of bringing together ideas from across all of the school, to create a Whole School Vision.

Over the course of one full-on wet day in the library, with support from their Principal and Enviro Lead teachers, they produced a coded map of their school as it is now and showing future projects. They will present their map, along with the vision statement and guidelines that they drafted, to the board and community in Term 3. Out into the weather went students from Kuranui College, Featherston School and Pirinoa School, to take part in a bioblitz, organised by Sustainable Wairarapa at Kaiwaiwai Farm’s wetland near Featherston. As well as removing nitrates, the speciallyconstructed wetland has become home to a large number of plants and creatures. Over four hours, the

Wintry journey

students discovered close to 160 species of plants, invertebrates, fungi and fish in an area that used to be pasture and farm drains. Having experts as part of the bioblitz, meant that the students could also get help identifying what they discovered and find out

more about them. “Sustainable Communities” is one of the Guiding Principles of Enviroschools, and it’s always exciting to see students putting things in place now that will have a positive impact on their communities into the future.

In 2015 Deborah Davidson of Masterton decided to join the fight against alcohol use and abuse. Deborah was involved in a youth group as a coordinator in South Wairarapa at that time, and also on the Hauora Advisory group with others such as local police, Iwi, and members of key stakeholder community groups. All witnessed the devastation that alcohol over consumption can cause. Everyone feels powerless when faced with the possible consequences of too much drink! “I wanted to do something” Deborah said. She decided to maximise her own health while raising awareness of the effects of alcohol on all systems in your body by joining the Dry July campaign that year to raise funds for people with Cancer. Her other motivation was that her own Mother died from breast cancer and as Deborah pointed out, it is now well documented with scientific evidence that there are links to alcohol causing cancer. The decision to go dry, she said, was an easy one once I realised my own health and body are important priorities in my life. Since 2015 Deborah has been virtually alcohol free and rejoins the Dry July campaign again this year 2018. If you want to feel better in the mornings have more money in your pocket and invest in your long term health, it’s a no brainer, join the fun go dry in July and see how it works for you! For information on Dry July to help people with Cancer the details can be found at Cancer Society Wairarapa Facebook page or sign up and get your friends and family to sponsor you on www.dryjuly.co.nz

Who can ask for an assessment?

Anyone over the age of 18 can ask for someone to be assessed. The court can order a person being assessed to turn up for any assessments and treatment.

WAIRARAPA

What is a mental disorder?

The term mental disorder is a legal definition, not a medical one. Legally, a mental disorder means an abnormal state of mind that poses a serious danger to the health and safety of that person or someone else or means the person can’t take care of themselves.

Mental health treatment

If someone needs help for a mental disorder but doesn’t agree they need help, you can ask your local mental health services to assess the person under the Mental Health (Compulsory Assessment and Treatment) Act. If the assessment indicates the person needs compulsory treatment, the mental health service can apply to the Family Court for an order for compulsory treatment. If you think someone is at risk of harm, you can call 111 or go to the nearest hospital emergency department. Or you can phone your local mental

When is a compulsory assessment not appropriate?

A person can’t be made to have a compulsory assessment or treatment because of their political, religious or cultural beliefs; Sexual preferences; criminal or delinquent behaviour; substance abuse; or intellectual handicap.

How to apply for a mental health assessment

You can get help to apply for a mental health assessment for someone else from a doctor or your local mental health crisis team. There are no specific mental health treatment forms.

Instead, you need to write out an application. Your application should be sent to the area director of mental health services. In your application you must say how you know the person and why you think they may have a mental disorder. You also need to include a certificate from a medical practitioner or doctor that says they have examined the person within the last three days and they think that person may have a mental disorder. Your doctor or local mental health crisis team can help you do this. • There is lots more information on the Ministry of Justice website, so go online to justice.govt.nz/ family/court-orderedtreatment/ • For your local mental health crisis team go to health.govt. nz/your-health/ services-and-support/ health-care-services/ mental-health-services/ crisis-assessmentteams.

New Owners of Tinui Freight Robert and Stacey Williams

Locals serving locals at Tinui Freight Williams Trucking Ltd, which is owned by Masterton couple Robert and Stacey Williams, has just purchased Tinui Freight. Robert grew up in Tinui, and the couple are looking forward to providing the same friendly and efficient service that Tinui Freight has earned a reputation for over the past decade. Until now Tinui Freight has just operated in the Tinui-Castlepoint area, but now that it is part of Williams Trucking Ltd, it will be available to carry loads throughout the Wairarapa. It can carry all types of rural freight including metal, stock feed, fencing, timber, wool, hay, tractors and farm implements, bark, fertiliser and other bulk products. Robert and Stacey can also assist lifestyle and residential property owners who need a freight carrier for metal for their driveways, fence timber, water troughs or other purposes. Robert has worked in the agricultural industry ever since leaving Wairarapa College, from milking cows to driving tractors. But he found carrying agricultural freight was what he enjoys most and has pursued this career in the Wairarapa, Western Australia and American Midwest.

Because of this background, Robert understands the needs of his rural clients. “I don’t just pick up freight and drop it off. I put a lot of thought into each job so that it is done as efficiently as possible, as I understand that profit margins are tight for farmers and every dollar saved counts.” Stacey grew up in Masterton and attended Makoura College. She has worked for Spark New Zealand for the past ten years in Business Sales Support at its Masterton branch. While Stacey will continue to work at Spark, Williams Trucking Ltd is very much a team effort, she says. “We are excited to have Tinui Freight as part of our business, especially as Robert has such close connections with the area, and we are pleased that it will continue to be a locally owned business.”

Solway Schoolchildren try out one of the new benches.

Seats for schools Kevin Ball The generosity of local businesses and the skills of the blokes at the Henley Men’s Shed have seen a major project at Solway Primary School nearing completion. Four large picnic benches, each accommodating a minimum of eight children, were placed in a covered courtyard at the school last Tuesday, creating an all-weather indoor/outdoor dining and

teaching area. Men’s Shed supervisor Peter Tibbs led the team who built the tables from heavy, laminated and treated pine donated by Juken New Zealand. The completed benches were delivered to the school by a Mitre 10 Mega truck. Total cost of the job was a token amount to cover screws and bolts. All that remains of the project is guttering around the roof. Principal Mark Bridges

was surprised at the size of the benches and the high standard of workmanship. “They will last for decades,” he said. Juken logistics team leader Chris Wenden said the company was always happy to support local projects. Juken shares the Men’s Shed philosophy of “in the community for the community,” said shed coordinator John Bush. The Solway Primary tables follow a similar project at Pirinoa School.

Keeping Mars in the loop Sky Watch

Nick Sault As I write, the rain is pelting down – the astronomer’s enemy. Hopefully, the clouds will break by month end, as we need to see how that planet Mars is getting on. Mars will be well risen by 8.30pm in the evening, and by 10pm should be high enough in the eastern sky to show that it is getting almost as bright as Jupiter. The nearly full moon will wash out most stars, but the two planets should still be very visible. The apparent motion of the planets and especially Mars had the ancient Greek astronomers foxed. They knew the planets were different to stars, as the stars keep in their fixed patterns, or constellations, while the planets move against the background of stars. They would have plotted something like the picture here, which shows the current apparent movement of Mars against the zodiacal constellation, Capricornus.

Today, we know that Mars and the other planets move in smooth, almost circular orbits around the sun. So, what is that strange looking loop in Mars’ apparent path? To account for these loops, the ancient Greek astronomer, Ptolemy, assigned the motions of the planets as “loops within loops”. He recognised the main orbital motion, but then drew what he called epicycles, little loops within the orbits, to account for what he saw in the sky. So, where did he go wrong? For 1500 years from the time of Ptolemy to the 16th century, astronomers assumed that the Earth is stationary. Of course, we know now, thanks initially to Copernicus, Galileo and Kepler, that stationary does not exist in the universe. Once you realise that one’s own planet is also

Apparent path of Mars – May 18 to Nov 14.

moving, you can account for those funny loops. Currently, Earth has been catching up to its fourth rock neighbour Mars, as we travel faster on a smaller, inner orbit. That means that we have been getting closer, which explains Mars getting brighter over these recent weeks. If you can picture it, there is a point in Earth’s orbital travel when it

is temporarily heading directly towards Mars. At that point, if you were plotting Mars’ motion against the stars it would appear to have stopped altogether. Then as you pass that point it will appear to double back – hence the apparent loop. Thus, by making one wrong assumption, the ancient astronomers made a complexity of what are

IMAGE/NICK SAULT

very neat and clockwork planetary motions. Tonight, is a milestone because if you look at that date on the picture, that is when Mars apparently starts to loop backwards in Capricornus until August 26. Because of that backtracking, we get to see Mars the rest of the year – weather permitting. • Up next: Venus in the Lion’s paw.

South Wairarapa District Council

MAYORAL UPDATE MAINTAINING OUR ROADS & FOOTPATHS

CREATIVE COMMUNITIES SCHEME

SWDC have been busy resealing our regions roads and footpaths. Along the Cape Palliser Road we have extended the seal by another 3.5km. Another 0.9km seal extension was completed on Shooting Butts Road. 1.5km of footpaths will be resurfaced within our three South Wairarapa towns by the end of the financial year. In total we have resealed 21.3km of roads and rehabilitated 1.81km of sealed roads. We are in the final stages of upgraded to LED lighting in Featherston and Martinborough, Greytown has already been completed.

NO SPRAY OPTION SWDC has a comprehensive spray programme in place. However landowners with organic blocks can request that their property be added to the No Spray Register. SWDC will install a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;No Sprayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sign on the front of the property boundaries.

CHANGE OF BUS STOP PROPOSED SWDC is proposing to move the bus stop on Fitzherbert Street to the west of Birdwood Street in Featherston. The current bus stop may need to be relocated 48m to the east of Birdwood Street. A decision will be made at the council meeting on 27 June, to accommodate the soon to be unveiled WWI Camp Memorial sculpture.

DOG REGISTRATION INVOICE DELAY South Wairarapa District Council is experiencing a delay in the mail out of the dog registration invoices for the new registration year 2018/2019. Dog owners will now receive their invoice in the first week of July. If you have opted to receive your invoice via email, you should have this on the 28 or 29 June. Payments can be made at our Martinborough Office, Featherston or Greytown libraries or online.

The Creative Communities Scheme (CCS) supports and encourages local communities to create and present diverse opportunities for accessing and participating in arts activities within the South Wairarapa. The scheme is a partnership between Creative NZ and SWDC who administer the scheme. To be successful applications must show that the proposed project meets one or more of the funding criteria: Broad community involvement, diversity and/or young people. Applicants should carefully read the criteria as set out in the Creative Communities Scheme brochure. This brochure tells you if your project is able to be funded through the CCS and how to make an application. The application guide shows you how to submit a great application for your project. Applications for the next round of South Wairarapa District Creative Communities Scheme grants will close on 24 August 2018 and are for projects starting after 7 September 2018 and finishing by 7 September 2019. The Assessment Group will meet in September and assess your application against the criteria in the brochure. All applicants will be notified within one week of whether your application is successful and the amount of the grant to be received. We expect that approximately $6,000 will be available for distribution in the August 2018 funding round.

It has bolstered our volunteer numbers this month as we discuss your volunteering aspirations and match them to suitable roles, so we can refer you to the community organisations we support. We took a trip over the hill to Parliament where Volunteering New Zealand hosted an afternoon tea where the ‘State of Volunteering Report’ was launched. The report states that “Volunteering is the hidden force in our communities that creates huge benefits for volunteers themselves, the causes they support

and for New Zealand as a whole. However, volunteering is often taken for granted, not necessarily acknowledged or even appropriately measured”. It is our role to promote volunteering for these reasons and to ensure that the gift of our “time and skill” is valued and not taken for granted. At this event, guest speaker Minister for the Community and Voluntary Sector Hon Peeni Henare reminded us of the rewards of volunteering and with his youth portfolio urged us to promote youth volunteering. He appealed to the current 1.2 million volunteers to encourage someone we know to volunteer so that number will double. New Zealand is already doing well. We rate the highest country in the western world for participation in volunteering with 41 per cent of people saying they volunteered in the month prior to the interview

for the Charitable Aid Foundation Giving Index 2017. We will be taking up our Minister’s plea and develop a Youth Volunteering Programme later this year. Our statistics show that those aged between 20 and 29 years are our highest age band at 22 per cent of our total volunteers. Most of these volunteers are seeking employment and are hoping that volunteering will give them experience to take with them into employment. A co-manager will join me soon and this will free up time and share responsibilities, so we can promote Volunteering Wairarapa’s role in all of our five communities and

launch our monthly café pop-ups.

Battle over energy drinks Elisa Vorster Battle lines are being drawn about young people’s access to energy drinks. Wairarapa fitness coach Allan French is horrified at the number of students he sees leaving supermarkets at 8am with 500ml cans of energy drinks. Dietician Jan Hale says the drinks can do young people serious harm, and least one secondary school has removed them from its canteen. But manufacturers say any age restriction on purchasing the drinks would be responding to a problem that doesn’t exist. French, a coach for CrossFit Manaia, was at a supermarket last week with his son buying healthy lunchbox items and was shocked to see students, some as young as 12, weren’t restricted from purchasing energy drinks. “We’ve known for a long time these drinks have high caffeine and high sugar, but I’ve always assumed there was an age restriction on them,” he said. “It just looks wrong.” He discovered that while supermarkets in the UK had imposed a voluntary age restriction of 16 on buying the drinks, no such restriction existed in New Zealand. He said the education systems in place teaching kids to make healthy choices weren’t enough when companies spent millions marketing their products towards kids. “Give any kid $5 in a supermarket and they’re going to go for the brightly coloured packaging and high sugar content.” The impact on school performance was obvious, he said. “You can never expect them to learn anything – they’re jacked up on sugar, never mind the caffeine, and we expect them to apply themselves.” He compared it to the age and branding

Energy drinks facts The Health Ministry’s 2008/9 national survey of children and young people’s physical activity and dietary behaviours in New Zealand showed 30 per cent of children aged between 10 and 14 consumed energy drinks. Seven per cent of those children consumed the drinks once or twice a week. 57 per cent of children aged between 15 and 19 consumed energy drinks, with 20 per cent of them consuming them up to

restrictions enforced on cigarettes despite adults being well-informed on the adverse impact of smoking on our health. “They’re not going to have blank labels on energy drinks like they do with cigarettes, but can we have the leading supermarket owners control who’s buying the products? “How can we expect 12-year-olds to make the right decision when left to their own devices?” But Stephen Jones from the New Zealand Beverage Council said putting an age restriction on energy drinks would be a heavy-handed regulatory response to a problem that does not exist. “New Zealand already has some of the strongest energy drink regulations in the world and the evidence shows these are working well. “Independent research from Food Standards Australia and New Zealand shows energy drinks contribute to less than three per cent of the

Jan Hale is concerned stimulants such as guarana which were added to energy drinks presented potential health risks such as irritability and anxiety which affected students’ general health and ability to learn. “Kids shouldn’t be drinking them at all,” she said. “They’re packed with

a child’s sugar consumption in New Zealand comes from beverages. Energy drinks contain between 75240mg of caffeine per unit. The Health Ministry’s Food and Nutrition Guidelines for Healthy Children and Young People estimates 70 per cent of children [5-12 years] and 40 per cent of young people [13-18 years] would exceed an adverse effect level of caffeine after one energy drink.

sugar and caffeine — there’s no nutrition, or vitamins and minerals which is what they need.” She said the “empty calories” contained in the drinks would create poor dietary habits and predispose teenagers to weight gain. “They should be sticking with water and milk,” she said. Makoura College principal Paul Green said his school had recently removed energy and high-sugar drinks from the school canteen and now stocked mainly water and low-sugar juice drinks. “This was a decision that came from our student council,” he said. “I think there’s sufficient compelling evidence out there about the problematic impact of over-sweetened or caffeinated drinks on the mind and body. “Part of our job is to talk with our young people about health and wellbeing and how it can be enhanced or impaired by individual choices.”

The power of using systems

ADVERTORIAL

means that takes you away from your screen.

Midweek Musings

Tim Nelson 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. The best of both worlds

Last week I heard an interview from an educator that I found extremely appealing. I could see how the concepts shared could be very beneficial in my school. Today on a course I heard a presentation from a principal that was equally appealing, also with ideas that I could see applied at my school to the significant benefit of the students. The thing about the two approaches is that they are polar opposites in just about every way. To me this shows that there isn’t a need to be one way or the other in terms of strategies used, instead take the best from both approaches, essentially developing a ‘third way’ to create a school that looks towards the needs of students and the development of staff.

Why the All Blacks are the best in the world The All Blacks are the most dominant professional sports team in the world and have

been for a considerable amount of time; they have a winning record over every other team. When asked to comment on the intensive training sessions that Eddie Jones has the English team doing (which has been criticised by many), English scrum half Danny Care stated that “the All Blacks train harder than anyone, so this is what we need to do”. Care’s comments are deceptively simple and also very true, to be the best you need to train harder and smarter than the rest. It won’t be easy, but it’s what is needed to be extremely good at something, regardless of the ﬁeld that you are in.

Be aware of digital dementia

Digital dementia is a phrase I recently heard. It describes becoming overly reliant on devices to entertain and inform us. Rather than knowing things, there are many who feel that we can simply know how to ﬁnd stuﬀ out by using our electronic devices. This, however, leads to us becoming over reliant on our devices; as our use increases, our ability to think and reason decreases. This is a bit of a paradox, as devices are a great means of accessing content to learn it. However, I would suggest mixing up learning strategies; read books, learn from experts in discussions, have practical real life experiences, do courses, and use any other

The power of systems

Pixar took over the running of Disney Studios for film production in 2004. At this time Disney had been on a long run of creating films that weren’t successful and didn’t capture the imagination of the public. Move to the present time and you can see the transformation, with the success of films like Frozen, which alone has earned more than a billion US Dollars. This change in success has come about with very little change in staff – the same people are still at Disney. What has changed are the systems that are in place that are followed to run the organisation, with the Pixar model being applied at Disney Studios. This shows that you can take an approach that is working elsewhere and apply it in another organisation to create a culture of success and fulfilment, where previously there had been a sense of growing frustration and failure.

The perfect morning wake up drink

This idea is shared by Aubrey Marcus in his new book Own the Day. There are many reasons why drinking a glass of water is the first thing you should do every morning, with one being the fact that your body has been dehydrating during your hours of sleep. Aubrey changes the water recipe slightly to make it even better for you by adding a pinch of sea salt and a squeeze of lemon, with these additions providing numerous benefits to your physical health to give you that extra morning boost that will be the first step in owning your day.

Woof Woof Dog Grooming is open in Martinborough “A groomed pet is a happy pet” is the philosophy of Woof Woof Dog Grooming which is owned by Lola Kiel. She is also assisted by a fellow groomer Ronald Wichman. Lola has been a dog lover all her life and loves being a dog groomer.

This requires maintaining a stress-free environment, allowing them to build their trust with me and to experience a safe and happy groom”, says Lola. “Grooming gives them healthier and shinier coats, influencing the way they feel and the way you feel about them. It is so important for your pet to be groomed regularly”. Lola and Ronald also offer a free puppy wash and dry once a week for six months. “Not only will your puppy feel clean and shiny, but starting young will prepare them for regular visits.” Woof Woof Dog Grooming offers the following services:

My young spoodle loves visiting Lola’s salon. Prior to finding ‘Woof Woof’, I’d tried several other groomers - with disappointing results. My dog became very stressed and was obviously terrified before and after these visits. However since she has been groomed by Lola she is so much happier! Lola is gentle and calm – we joke that she is a ‘dog whisperer’ – and very caring. With a dog that previously loathed being groomed, it is so important to make this regular event stress-free for both of us – as it now is! Jenny

“

It is with pleasure to recommend Lola for all dog grooming services. Our dog is always beautifully groomed and is returned to us calm and happy. Lola is always welcoming, listens to our requirements and goes the extra mile. The home environment where Lola does her grooming is always warm and friendly which ensures our dog is safe and comfortable. Thank you for the last year Lola and many more. Diane

A ‘Crafternoon’ of sewing A few of the many vintage sewing machine on site. PHOTOS/ EMILY NORMAN

Tucked away in a cottage at Queen Elizabeth Park in Masterton is a working sewing machine museum like no other. The brainchild of Heather Bannister, Come Sew With Me opened in December last year at Rose Cottage, thanks to Urban Dream Brokerage. It is a place for people of all ages and abilities to come together for tea, scones, and, of course, sewing. Heather’s love of vintage sewing machines began about six years ago when “a lady just gave me one because she heard I liked quilting”. “After that, I just kept seeing them everywhere. “I learned how to service them, ﬁx them, get them going, and people just started bringing them to me. “One day, one of my children said, mum when you die we are going to have to start a sewing machine museum. “I thought, well, that’s very nice, but why wait until I’m dead?” At Come Sew With Me, there are more than 130 machines, aging from the 1800s to newer models. Most of them are about 100 years old. But instead of letting the machines sit pretty, Heather puts them to work, giving members of the community an opportunity to use them to make all sorts of things like clothing, quilts, and gifts. “I never expected this dream of mine to happen so quickly – it’s just perfect because people come in here and feel at ease.

“It’s just a lovely space and it is of the era of most of the sewing machines as well.” There is a kitchen inside the cottage where volunteers make fresh scones each day. “It is a continuous tea party.” “We have women, men and children come in, of all ages and abilities, as young as five sewing on the little hand cranks, and a lot older even. “We’ve had a few people in wheelchairs that can come in and use the hand cranks – and they’ve been told they could never sew. “We have people with mental disabilities, anxiety, stress, and people who have felt bad about themselves, and as soon as they learn to make something and get the creative juices flowing, it just drives up the self-worth. “Everyone here is so lovely – there is no negativity.” The sewing cottage is making an impact locally and overseas, with a box of vintage patterns recently sent from “a lady in Canada”. And some of the projects undertaken in the cottage are worldly, with some quilts made by Heather and others sent over to a children’s home in Vietnam. Come Sew With Me is open Monday to Friday from 10am until 4pm. They also open for a ‘Crafternoon’ on the first Saturday of each month. Because they are a not-forprofit organisation, Come Sew With Me depends on donations from the community to cover the running costs and rent. • If you would like to help support them, visit givealittle.co.nz/cause/ come-sew-with-me-ltdkeep-it-going.

It is expected Williams will also take on these portfolios. Williams said she would like to see the country’s high-quality feed used at home. “My understanding is NZ imports much of its wheat for the breakfast cereal market from Australia, so I would like to see us having that provenance story that we have locally produced grain with good environmental standards going into those New Zealand products and support the local industry, but that needs to be balanced with trade obligations.” This would signiﬁcantly decrease the country’s biosecurity risk, she said. The arable industry had potential to ﬁll an important niche as changes to diets look at more plant-based products, she said. Williams holds a number of other roles in the community including being a member of the Regional Council’s Farming Reference Group, she is also involved with the Ballance Farm Environment Awards and is actively involved with AWDT. She is an arable industry representative on the Ministry for Primary Industries pea weevil response governance group. Williams, who grew up in Masterton, has a geography degree with a masters in

Gladstone farmer Karen Williams wants to promote the country’s arable industry as the sustainable food producer that it is, in her new roles of Federated Farmers’ arable chairperson, both nationally and for Wairarapa. While her plate has suddenly become heaped with industry roles, Williams is committed to representing the New Zealand farmer. She is widely known for her countless hours of hard work in response to the Wairarapa pea weevil incursion, with the region’s pea-growing ban now into its third year. The arable industry was a small sector within the country’s agriculture and was often seen as the “forgotten sector”, she said. But with her new roles, Williams would like to see more of an emphasis put on the country’s arable story. It was announced Williams would replace Guy Wigley, from Waimate, in the national role at the Federated Farmers’ arable industry conference in Timaru recently. Wigley also sat on the national board, and held portfolios including biosecurity, ﬁre, science, transport regulations and the pork industry.

regional and resource planning from the University of Otago. She has worked for the Hutt City Council and the Greater Wellington Regional Council has a policy advisor and planner. She has been farming on Ahiaruhe farm, in Gladstone, for 18 years. Despite her workload, Williams said her family, three children, and the farm she runs with her husband, Mick, will remain one of her main focuses.

Kiwi billionaire Graeme Hart started with the purchase of Government Print in Masterton and made his fortune, and now his son is working to turn around a food company that also has a connection with the town. All the documents for the purchase of Hansells Group have the name Harrison Hart on them, says local businessman Alan Stewart, who has met the 26-year-old and thinks if he succeeds like his father it’ll be good for Masterton. Hansells Group owns a 25 per cent stake in Hansells Masterton and is its largest customer, accounting for about a third of its business. Stewart said the only person he had had dealings with was Harry Hart – it was his deal. It’s business as usual at Hansells Masterton after the purchase last Monday – all that’s happened, Stewart says, is that a minority shareholder has changed. But he reﬂected that Graeme Hart bought Government Print, now known as Webstar, for a song and made money out of it and Harry Hart would not have paid much for Hansells, because it had been making losses for years. He said Harry Hart had purchased a business he had been looking at for a while and wanted to make his fortune out of it. “I hope he is going to turn it around and make it successful and proﬁtable and build it up. “He wouldn’t have bought it otherwise. “How he is going to do it, I don’t know.” He said Hansells Group had some good brands that had been poorly managed. With good management it could do very well. He believes all the products had potential to gain market share with the right promotion. Stewart has been involved with the food manufacturing business now known as Hansells Masterton since 1983 and has seen it go through many ownership changes while working himself in many roles.

Executive chairman of Hansells Masterton, Alan Stewart.

In 2014, he saved it from closure by putting a local consortium together. Hansells Group kept a quarter, Stewart has a quarter, an Australian company he has an association with has a quarter, and two other Masterton parties have a quarter between them. Hansells Masterton employs 63 people, down from 87 at its peak, and is profitable, though Stewart will not disclose either turnover or profit figures. He said it was a contract manufacturer, specialising in small product runs. At the time it became separated from Hansells Group, the group was the Masterton operation’s sole customer. Since then, new customers had been found and the company had competed successfully in the dairy sector, turning milk powder into ice cream and yoghurt mixes. It sources the milk power from Westland Dairy. Hansells Masterton also makes Vitafresh, Weight Watchers’ products, Chef’s Kitchen dessert mixes, Thriftee, artificial sweeteners and curry powders. “Probably our second biggest product is the soup mix we do for the King brand,” he said. He said Hansells Masterton did not need a big public profile and just quietly dealt with suppliers and customers, nationally and around the world, including in China.

It exports product on containers out of Wellington’s port, and when the earthquake occurred was able to get product out via Napier’s port. “We are based in Masterton because it is a good place to work and a good place to get good staﬀ, and we have good facilities here.” Back in the 1980s the business was owned by the Mansell family. An outside shareholder was bought in that went bust and then Auckland businessman Gary Lane became an investor. Stewart was a 26 per cent shareholder during that period. It was very much a Masterton business then, and Stewart grew its turnover from $10 million a year to $60 million. About 1998, Old Fashioned Foods bought the business and the name was changed to Hansells and the Masterton business became part of the Auckland company. It struggled, and Stewart later took the opportunity to bring it back to local ownership. “When I was running the company back in the 80s, I employed people and they are still here.” He said the workers had a family attitude and Hansells Masterton was a “people company”. “Things run smoothly – everyone knows what they are doing.”

Ginomees’ annual meet-up

Wai Write

In this excerpt from The Clonestone, Book Two in The Ginomees trilogy, by Ali Foster of Masterton, reluctant hero, Noname the Nothing, continues his adventures and meets up with the many different clans of wild ginomees at their annual gathering. Flikka raised her eyebrows. The new he-ginomee didn’t look like he belonged to the Clan of the Pricklepig. His nose was all wrong for a start. It was much too long. And he was wearing the weirdest-looking hat she had ever seen. “He came over a mountains, from a town of Greenhills,” explained Sprossie – “You know, a place where all a garden ginomees is made.” “He doesn’ look like a garden ginomee,” said Flikka. Although she had never actually seen one, she had heard enough stories about garden ginomees to know what they were supposed to look like. “That’s cos he isn’ one,” said Sprossie. Flikka’s mouth dropped open in astonishment. “You don’ mean…” “Yep,” said Sprossie. “He’s a changee! A very first ginomee in all of ginomic history to go through with a changin’!” “Oh my,” said Flikka,

clasping her hands to her heart. “I gotta go an’ tell someone! I gotta go tell Zimmi! I gotta tell Figlett an’ Fizzibob . . . ” Darting away like a moonbeam, she hurried to spread the news. “What you have to go and do that for?” said Noname, as they followed Flikka down the hillside – “Why’d you have to tell her? Now everyone’s gonna know.” “They’re gonna find out sooner or later,” said Sprossie. “Wild ginomees aren’t stupid y’know.” “Never said they were!” said Noname, glaring at her – “I’m jus’ sick an’ tired of always being different, that’s all. I jus’ wanna be a same as everyone else.” “Well you’re not, an’ you never will be,” snapped Sprossie – “So you better hurry up an’ get used to it. An’ you better get used to bein’ stared at, cos everyone’s comin’ for a lookie!” Crowds of chattering ginomees were swarming out of the trees in front of them. Some of them had antennae sticking out of the tops of their heads. Others were completely covered in tiny grey scales. A group of tall, thin he-ginomees each had a pair of soft, silvery wings tucked in between their

shoulder blades. “Dragonflies,” explained Sprossie, seeing Noname’s confusion. “They’re from a Clan of a Dragonfly—you know, like Flikka.” As the wild ginomees drew closer, Noname saw that they all belonged to different clans. Those from the Clan of the Lizard were small and slim, with greenish, leathery skin. They moved with quick, edgy movements, their eyes constantly darting from side to side. The ginomees from the Clan of the Snail were short and fat and were always smiling. They had strange, spiral-shaped backpacks attached to the skin on their shoulders. Whenever they felt like setting up camp, they dropped to their knees, jerked open their backpacks and pulled their

head and feet inside. Each of the clans had evolved over thousands of years to suit their particular environment. “Don’t you think you should say somethin’?” said Noname, flustered by all the staring. “Me say something?” said Sprossie, who had been secretly enjoying all the attention. “You’re the one who’s s’posed to say somethin’. It’s your job.” Noname frowned. “Go on,” she said, digging him in the ribs. Noname cleared his throat. “Ah, hullo everybody,” he said, talking a step forward. “My name is…er, Noname.” The wild ginomees gave an enormous cheer. “Hooray!” shouted a ginomee standing at the front of the crowd. “Long live Noname!” chanted a group at the back of the mob. “Hey, Noname,” yelled a voice. “What’s it like to be a hero?” Noname nudged Sprossie. “Whadda they mean?” he said – “Why are they callin’ me a hero?” “Because you are,” said Sprossie, smiling out over the sea of adoring faces. Before Noname could ask what she meant, a large green-skinned ginomee with big, bulgy eyes stepped forward

and held up his hands for silence. Once the babble had died down, he turned to Noname. “Greetin’s, Noname,” he said. “My name is Bulfy, an’ I would like to welcome you to a Gatherin’ of a Clans.” Noname nodded politely. “On behalf of all a clans at Rondayvoo, I would like to thank you for killin’ a Ginogle.” A wild roar of approval erupted from the crowd. Noname turned to Sprossie. “What’d he say?” “What’s a matter, you got lugstoppers in there or somethin’?” said Sprossie, standing on tiptoe and peering in Noname’s ear – “He’s thankin’ you very much,” she shouted over the din, “for killin’ a Ginogle.” “But I haven’t killed a Ginogle,” cried Noname, paling at the thought. “I haven’t killed anythin’!” “You haven’t yet,” said Sprossie, tossing her head, “but you will.”

Northern upset Dalefield HOCKEY

Sport

Jake Beleski Farriers Dalefield premier men’s player-coach Dane Lett had spoken last week of the dangers a side like Northern United could pose for his team, and he was proven right as Northern claimed an upset 3-2 win on Saturday. Lett was unavailable for the match due to a Black Sticks training camp in Auckland, while three others were away with the Capital Under-18s. Dalefield would still have expected to have enough firepower to get the job done, but the loss means their two defeats this season have come against teams in the bottom three on the points table. Dalefield have now won nine of their 11 matches and are tied with Hutt United at the top of the table on 30 points, although Hutt United have a game in hand and a far superior goal difference. Luckily for Dalefield, it is really only a twoteam race for top spot in the competition because third-placed Naenae have only won five of their 10 matches and sit on 16 points. Dalefield assistant manager Mike van Woerkom said they had

been on the back foot early. “We were chasing the game the whole time. “After three minutes, their striker scored a cracker of a goal from the top of the circle.” Daleﬁeld had at least four chances to score in the ﬁrst quarter, but it wasn’t until the closing stages that Rowan Yeo

finally found the back of the net to level the scores. The second quarter was goal-less, but Northern again hit the front early in the third quarter when the ball was smashed into the circle and deflected into the goal. Dalefield responded quickly, and it was Nick Finlayson who equalised two minutes later.

The rest of the match was an arm wrestle for both sides, but it was Northern who had the ﬁnal say with seven minutes remaining when they worked the ball into the circle and scored. Van Woerkom said Daleﬁeld had created plenty of opportunities, but their opposition had simply wanted it more and

He controlled all of England and half of France...

taken their chances. “They just wanted it a bit more than we did and we made too many mistakes. “We had some poor option taking and a lack of ﬁnishing which hurt us in the end.” Daleﬁeld will be looking to bounce back when they host bottom-placed Kapiti at Clareville next weekend.

...but never his wife.

United’s winning formula FOOTBALL

Jake Beleski Wairarapa United men’s coach Phil Keinzley may be tempted to never take off his lucky white jacket. On the eve of Saturday’s crucial third round Chatham Cup knockout clash with Wellington Olympic, Keinzley’s wife reminded him of the role the jacket had played in their Chatham Cup victory in 2011. He decided to bring the jacket out once again on Saturday, and it seemed to work wonders for his side as they cruised to a remarkable 5-0 victory. Olympic had beaten United twice already this season in Central League action, but the form book was flipped on its head at Wakefield Park in Wellington. First half goals to Azariah Soromon and Paul Ifill ensured they went to

TENNIS

Jake Beleski Wairarapa tennis player Marcus Daniell could have been forgiven for being overawed when he stepped on court last Thursday [NZT], but that certainly wasn’t the case. Daniell and his Dutch doubles partner, Wesley Koolhof, took down two giants of the singles game, Novak Djokovic and Stan Wawrinka, at the Queen’s grass court tournament in London. Djokovic [12] and Wawrinka [3] have 15 grand slam singles titles between them. Daniell has trained with world No 1 Roger Federer before but had never stepped on court with Djokovic or Wawrinka. Daniell and Koolhof only made it into the first round as luck losers from qualifying, and Daniell said they were just happy to get the chance to play another match. “After being injured for a couple of months it’s

the break with a decent buffer, but there was always a chance Olympic would hit back strongly in the second spell. It wasn’t the case, however, as Ifill and Soromon both added one more each, and Hamish Watson also found the back of the net. Keinzley said it was their best performance this season by quite some margin. “They didn’t play badly, we just stepped up to the mark. “The team shape and different positions worked well, and it was one of those games where you couldn’t pick a player of the match because everyone played well.” Keinzley said it was only the second time in two years they had kept a clean sheet, and they couldn’t have picked a better time to do it. The white jacket may not

have won them the match, but it’s likely Keinzley will wear it again for their next match. “My wife reminded me that the year we won it I was wearing a white jacket all the time. “The next two years, we

won 14 games on the trot with it, and she reminded me it was sitting in the wardrobe so I told the guys I was bringing it along [on Saturday]. “It’s obviously a good omen.” It remains a mystery

important to get as much time on court as possible, and to do it with two of the best tennis players of this era on the other side of the net just made it more special.” The 28-year-old grew up in Wairarapa but has spent the last 10 years travelling

the world, playing on the ATP circuit. He has played in the most high-pressure tournaments in the world but said there was definitely a bit of added pressure in Thursday’s match. “You know that there is

going to be a lot of buzz around the match and a lot of spectators. “But doubles is a different game to singles, and I know that on a doubles court I’m up there with the best.” Daniell is currently No 40 in the doubles rankings

as to why United don’t seem to be able to transfer their stellar Chatham Cup form into their Central League matches, but if they can win the knockout competition that will soon be forgotten. “Everybody’s really disappointed in the way we’ve performed in the league. “We know we haven’t done ourselves a service but I’m not too worried – our focus is now definitely on the Chatham Cup, and making sure we don’t put ourselves at risk of relegation in the Central League.” The United women’s team made it a double success for the club on Saturday, as they beat Upper Hutt City Football 2-0 to advance to the next round of Kate Sheppard Cup knockout matches. Both of United’s goals came in the first half courtesy of Meisha Boone. and has been as high as No 34. Unfortunately, the pair were unable to advance past the second round after they were beaten 6-3 6-7 10-7 by fourth seeds Jamie Murray and Bruno Soares on Friday. Daniell said claiming a big win along the way was pleasing, but there were bigger targets to work towards. “It’s nice to take a couple of big, recognisable scalps like that, but in the scheme of things it’s a small achievement. “In the end it was a firstround win – if we’d beaten them in the final that would have been great.” Making a big impression at the two remaining grand slams of the year – Wimbledon and the US Open – will be the major goal moving forward. “My biggest goal is to stay healthy – everything else depends on that. “If my body is good, I’d like to go deeper in a slam than before, which means semi-finals or further.”
