Tracking down loved ones Emily Ireland A small teal pendant is giving families around Wairarapa peace of mind. The pendant is part of the WanderSearch Tracking System and is used by Wairarapa Search and Rescue volunteers to ﬁnd missing people living with cognitive conditions such as autism and Alzheimer’s.

WanderSearch became established with Wairarapa Search and Rescue in 2012. Seven years on, the trust has 28 pendants – 18 of which are currently in the ﬁeld in Wairarapa. Six of them are keeping track of people with Alzheimer’s, 10 are

keeping track of children with autism, and two are keeping track of “wanderers”. Wairarapa Search and Rescue volunteer Sam Milligan said the system worked by using the tracking unit to ﬁnd the signal of the pendant being searched for. It emits a beeping noise

and the signal gets stronger the closer the tracking unit is to the pendant. The range of the pulse can be detected up to 5km from a high point using line of sight, and without the receiver unit and knowing the unique frequency for a particular device, no one can track the device or client. “We will get a call from

police and they will tell us where the person was last seen. “We have a small antenna we put on the roof of our vehicle and we drive around until we pick up the signal. “Then we put on a

directional aerial, which gives us the direction and we hone in on that.” Milligan said the service was able to be provided thanks to “generous donations” from service groups around the region. He said the tracking kit was about $3000, and pendants are “$290 a pop”. “It’s old technology, but it’s reliable and it has a sixor seven-month battery life.” Continued on page 4

At last: 24/7 cop cover coming Emma Brown A staff restructure and increase in personnel is set to bring 24/7 policing to the whole of Wairarapa for the first time. The change will take place in the week starting September 2, Wairarapa Police Area Commander Scott Miller said. Seven new constables have started work in the region recently, with another three coming at the beginning of November, and “more to follow”. The move sees a change from a swing shift, which saw officers working in the south Wairarapa towns until 1am, and then the Masterton staff covering the region. Miller said when he arrived in Wairarapa last year, he took a look at what staff were doing and the structure, as all new area commanders did. “It was one of the first

things I identiﬁed [in South Wairarapa] – that we needed a night shift,” he said. “Carterton and South Wairarapa’s three towns have never had full 24/7 policing – and that’s a requirement as far as

I’m concerned. “We’ve had support from the Hutt throughout this whole year in relation to staﬃng and attending jobs in South Wairarapa.” Miller said Wairarapa Police’s structure would change from September

2, with the introduction of new and extended teams. “24 hours a day, if anything happens in South Wairarapa, that closest car will immediately be sent to the job.” Petitioners in Greytown and Martinborough have

demanded a sole charge constable in each of the towns, but Miller said that was not possible. “We’ve got to be very aware of the health of the police officers, and that is why we have gone away from having a community constable,” Miller said. “You just can’t these days have someone knocking on your door at 3am or 5am. “If the community constable is not working, you’ve got to find them, get them out of bed, get them dressed, get them to a police station to get their firearms, and then go to the job. “This is far better for police because there’s far better coverage of our local community.” He said in the case of Greytown, most of the offending was by people who did not live there, with a similar situation applying in Martinborough.

“I’ve not divided Wairarapa into Masterton, Carterton, and South Wairarapa, like the councils – we police the whole Wairarapa. “Those 24/7 cars will police the whole Wairarapa, and they will be where the demand is at the time. “We won’t just put a car out and they’ll sit there for six hours with nothing going on. “The vehicles will be spread across the whole Wairarapa.” Miller said the region had probably been resourced at the same level for 10 years, but the new initiative by the government of introducing 1800 extra staﬀ had allowed the police to move back into that community policing area. “We’re going up in resourcing and will continue to do so.”

Calling out for the Kuranui College originals Don Farmer Nearly 60 years ago, on an overcast, slightly chilly mid-summer morning, more than 400 children squatted in a grassy Greytown paddock, brought to order on the command of a tall, blackhaired man standing behind a wooden lectern. Nearby sat 21 men and women who were his teaching staff along with members of a management committee headed by Greytown mayor Fred Yule. This entire gathering was surrounded by dozens of mums and dads, parents of the foundation pupils of Kuranui College on the first day of the school’s existence. Now, six decades on, those boys and girls who remain on terra firma are being asked to answer the call by attending a 60th anniversary reunion for

Kuranui College opening day, February 1960. PHOTO/WAIRARAPA ARCHIVE

foundation pupils. Their ranks will have thinned, noticeably perhaps. The man who had called them to order on February 2, 1960 – foundation college principal O.S.

(Sam) Meads – has passed on, as have all but one of the foundation teachers with Clive Gibbs, the art teacher, the survivor. But organisers of the milestone reunion Ngaire Flynn and Sue Harper

are hopeful as many as possible of the ﬁrst day 400 will make the eﬀort to come along on January 28 and 29 next year to reconnect with old friends and classmates, and to reminisce.

They promise the old pupils who are all now over 70 will not have to squat down in a grassy paddock, instead being able to enjoy a leisurely lunch at the iconic Pukemanu Hotel, Martinborough,

an evening meal (maybe a barbecue), a wander around the grounds of their old college, and other little highlights, culminating in a café brunch in Greytown on the second day. Most important of all, Ngaire and Sue promise there will be no standing on ceremony. It is to be a strictly informal get-together. No glad rags, no registration fees, just a casual pay as you go catchup. But the organisers will need to get an accurate tally on just who will come along, mainly for catering purposes, so if you were one of those 400 odd who sat in the grassy paddock and listened to Sam greet you and set the rules for Kuranui all that time ago, please contact: ngairef1@ gmail.com or jasnharper@ farmside.co.nz. Partners are welcome.

Tracking gives peace of mind Continued from page 1 He said GPS capability trackers needed charging every few days, which was not suitable for people living with Alzheimer’s or autism. Autism Wairarapa support coordinator Tracey van der Raaij said every new family that contacted Autism Wairarapa was told about the WanderSearch Tracking System, especially if their child tends to wander. “This has given peace of mind to a lot of families,” she said. “I just think it’s amazing. “I have three nephews on the spectrum, and I remember all three of them took oﬀ at one stage in their life, and how scary that was. “This has been fantastic for our families.

“It gives them the confidence that there is someone else looking out for them. She said one young boy with autism called the pendant his “dinosaur egg”. “It’s great that it has been incorporated into play.” Alzheimer’s Wairarapa community support officer Tam Williams said the system had also given peace of mind to families of people with Alzheimer’s – “particularly if they live rurally”. “One farm leads to another and if they just keep walking, looking for a landmark – cause that’s what they’ll be doing – they could end up three farms over.” She said often, people who were in the early stage of Alzheimer’s were still very fit and mobile.

“The pendant gives peace of mind when your loved one still has a degree of independence and you want to retain that.” Wairarapa Search and Rescue chairman Murray Johnston said the tracking system “takes most of the search out of search and rescue”. “We have to bear in mind that any missing person is still a police responsibility, so it’s still a police-controlled search. “Often the response from police will be that they drive around nearby streets for the ﬁrst half hour. “We have an understanding with them that they give us a ring after that.” Wairarapa Search and Rescue chief tracker Neil Richardson said when looking for missing people

with cognitive conditions, sometimes “you’ve got to just forget a lot of what you’ve been told about where the missing person may be”. Although information was always useful to have, he said the tracker never lied and that it was never a good idea to discount any possibilities of where the missing person may be. The WanderSearch pendant can be worn as a necklace, watch or can be used as a keyring. It can also be sewn into clothes. • If you are looking after a person who is living with a cognitive condition who is at risk of wandering from their place of residence, contact Sam Milligan on sammilligan@xtra. co.nz, or call 06 370 9322.

WanderSearch pendants can be worn on the wrist, around the neck, or as a keyring. PHOTO/EMILY IRELAND

CANCER AWARENESS

Lighting up yellow for cancer The Castlepoint lighthouse will be lit up yellow in support of the Wairarapa Cancer Society’s 35 years of service to the community. Daﬀodil Day is this Friday, August 30, and the lighthouse will be lit up on Friday and Saturday night. Wairarapa Cancer Society manager Jacinta Buchanan said she was thankful for the support of the Friends of the Castlepoint Lighthouse Group who helped make the idea possible. And if you frequent the beach regularly, there’s one piece of advice the Wairarapa Cancer Society would like to share. Slip, slop, slap. Slip on a shirt, Slop on the 50+ sunscreen, and slap on a hat. New Zealand has one of the highest levels of

ultraviolet radiation (UVR) in the world during summer, as well as one

of the highest rates of melanoma. One of the reasons is

that the sun is closer to the earth during southern hemisphere summer

compared to northern hemisphere summers. UVR burns skin and increases people’s risk of cancer. Wairarapa Cancer Society health promoter Joanne Carter said people could not feel UVR because it was separate from the heat from the sun. “That means on cool days you will still get burnt if you don’t have protection from clothing such as collars and sleeves, hats, and sunscreen. She said the majority of a person’s lifetime UVR exposure happened during childhood. “That’s why the Cancer Society is working with an increasing number of schools to help create school environments that protect children during summer.

“In Wairarapa there are 10 accredited Sunsmart primary schools with many more working on a policy to meet the recommended best practice behaviours to keep our children safe.” For more information about the Cancer Society SunSmart Schools Accreditation Programme, contact Joanne Carter on 06 378 8039 or email joanneC@cancersoc.org. nz. • This month, the Wairarapa Cancer Society is wanting to “paint the towns yellow”, to bring cancer awareness to the forefront of people’s minds. Each week in August, the Wairarapa Midweek will run stories from the Wairarapa Cancer Society to support this campaign.

‘Last one in, first one out’ Emily Ireland

Alfredton shepherd Victoria Draper thought she was on the receiving end of a scam when she was told she had won a brand-new Ute. Turns out, it was all legitimate – she was the major winner of a nationwide competition run by Purina Tux dog food. Victoria had entered the

competition online at 9pm on the closing day, not thinking anything of it. “I don’t normally enter competitions,” she said. While in class, studying for her Level 5 Diploma in Agriculture, she received a phone call from a private number. “I tossed up whether I was going to answer it or not. “They told me I had won an Isuzu D-Max.

“I thought it was a scam – I said you’re joking. I only entered on July 21 at 9pm – it was the last day. “Last one in, first one out.” Victoria received her 4WD D-Max at Farmlands Greytown last week with local Isuzu Utes dealership, Eastwood Motor Group Isuzu and Purina Tux representative Kathleen Carman present to hand over the keys.

It was eventually given a million dollar plus makeover in late 2018 to improve its strength and comfort but retain its original character and acoustics, which are well loved by musicians and locals alike. Music Director Lee Quayle said the hall was a fantastic venue for hearing jazz. “The walls reflect a warm sound back to the

“I can’t wait to hear a full jazz orchestra reverberating in there once again. “It will be a long-awaited homecoming for Jazz in Martinborough.”

Dadz will also be offering free copies of the publication, The Blokes Book, which provides health and social service information.

Richardson’s literary accomplishments include seven novels – four of them published overseas, and two collections of short stories – Choices and If We Were Lebanese. All have earned her significant recognition in New Zealand and internationally. The event will be held on Sunday, September 1, at 3pm, at the Community Courthouse in Carterton.

Fresh business bonds sisters Erin Kavanagh-Hall

Opening their own business has helped Casey Duckett-Mount and Courtney Stewart forge the close sisterly bond they missed in their teenage years. Courtney and Casey are the team behind Belle Fresca, a fresh produce cafe and bakery at the old Fridgies Fruit Bowl building on Masterton’s High St, which opened on the weekend. The sisters “pooled their resources” and bought the Fridgies business earlier this year, and have since been hard at work refurbishing the premises, ordering stock, creating social media marketing profiles, and attending business courses. Belle Fresca will specialise in locallysourced fruit and vegetables, baked goods using seasonal produce, “unique” coffee flavourings, and plasticfree packaging alternatives – as well as the real-fruit ice creams Fridgies was best known for. Unlike many siblings, Casey, 23, and 25-yearold Courtney spent much of their youth in different households. After their parents separated, Courtney moved in with their mum, while Casey

and their brother stayed with their dad, and the girls would mostly see each other on weekends. The sisters were, until recently, also separated by distance, when Casey moved to Christchurch at 17 to study agricultural science. Starting Belle Fresca, Courtney said, has given them a chance to re-connect – and, far from inspiring sibling rivalry, has actually helped strengthen their relationship. “Going into business has helped us get to know each other as adult siblings, and now our relationship is awesome – I can’t imagine life without Casey,” Courtney said. Both have worked in various hospitality roles and are trained baristas

institution for Masterton shoppers for many years – came up for sale this year, they decided it was time to make their move. “We have a lot of great memories as kids of going to Fridgies on a Sunday and getting real fruit ice creams and the $25 produce boxes,” Courtney said. “It was such a fun, family-friendly place, but it had lost its spark over the years and we wanted to

bring that back.” The sisters took possession of the site in June, and have spent the past couple of months giving the place “some TLC”, doing the painting and steam cleaning themselves with help from family. They have also been attending a business course at Te Wananga o Aotearoa, helping them upskill in marketing, researching products, and

financial acumen. As young female entrepreneurs, the sisters have faced some scepticism. “Some people have thought we’re a bit young and naïve,” Courtney said. “But we’ve done our research and we’re determined to do this right.” At Belle Fresca – meaning “beautiful” and “fresh”, a nod to Casey’s French and Italian heritage – Courtney and Casey look forward to “bringing back” the $25 boxes, putting together recipe bags for customers (so they can make some of their menu items at home themselves), introducing banana hot chocolates and pumpkinspiced lattes, and hopefully setting up a children’s playground out the back. Mostly, they look forward to showcasing the “beautifully fresh” produce Wairarapa has to offer. “We’re definitely keen to support local businesses – we’d like to see money stay in the region, and go towards local kids’ sports uniforms, rather than holidays for big executives,” Casey said. The sisters are most thankful to their parents, Robert and Rose, and their uncle for all their support.

New medical centre coming A visual of Five Rivers Medical.

A privately funded, multimillion-dollar state of the art medical facility will open in Greytown towards the end of next year, providing more medical care and specialist services for people in Wairarapa. The purpose-built medical facility, to be built on an 8000m2 commercial site on Bidwills Cutting Rd, will be named Five Rivers Medical in reference to the Tauherenikau, Waiohine, Waingawa, Waipoua, and Ruamahanga rivers. The facility is the initiative of Wairarapa couple Shane and Lynnette McManaway. Shane and Lynnette own “Gold Creek” Charolais and Deer farming operation at Matarawa. Shane is well known both locally and internationally for his contribution to the Primary production sector. “This is a dream we have had for some time ... building a much-needed medical facility for people

in our community,” McManaway said. “We have a growing population and an aging population here in Wairarapa, as well as an increased level of mental health issues aﬀecting many in our community. “We are extremely passionate Wairarapa people and we want to put something back into this community that will beneﬁt everyone – those that live rurally and in our urban centres.” The Five Rivers Board is made up of Chair Bob Francis, Shane and Lynnette McManaway, company director John Cameron, who has considerable experience in corporate governance at national and international levels, and property developer David Borman. Five Rivers Medical has been designed by James Silverwood of Silver Architects and will feature a stunning schist and cedar exterior.

There will be extensive parking, and the surrounding landscaping will be in keeping with Greytown’s heritage and history as the ﬁrst town in New Zealand to celebrate Arbor Day. Once completed, Five Rivers Medical will feature a comprehensive wellness centre including physiotherapy, a

rehabilitation gym, a pilates studio, massage therapy, mental health and counselling services. A suite of consultation rooms will service a range of visiting specialists. There will also be an inhouse pharmacy and a full range of General Practice services, previously delivered on the old Greytown Medical site.

It is expected Five Rivers Medical will employ at least 40 full time staﬀ as well as having a team of specialists that will cater up to 5000 patients Five Rivers Medical chair and spokesperson and former Wairarapa DHB chairman, Bob Francis, said the facility would work collaboratively with Tu Ora Compass Health, the Wairarapa DHB, and ambulance as well as with existing medical specialists. “Five Rivers Medical will set a new standard of medical care in Wairarapa providing excellent health services and will attract the very best medical expertise,” Francis said. “It will be based on best practise and ethics with a huge focus on putting the customer ﬁrst. “With a number of specialist services soon to be available through Five Rivers Medical, it will

mean some people will no longer have to drive over the hill to access these in Wellington, as they currently do. “This philosophy is also in line with the government’s strategy around health in that they are wanting to deliver more services close to home.” Building is expected to start later in the year with the project to be managed by David Borman. Borman has been behind the upgrade of numerous commercial buildings throughout Wairarapa including the upgrade and development of Kuripuni Village and the Screening Room Cinema and Eatery. Recently, he oversaw the build of the new Masterton netball complex on Colombo Rd, the Martinbourgh Town Hall and library complex, and he is currently managing the development of the new Big Save Furniture store in Queen St.

GARDEN

YARN

WITH

Don’t Let Spring Catch You Off Guard

The seasons are about to change – spring is just around the corner! Spring is a very important time in the life of a gardener, especially for those who grow their own healthy, edible, home grown vegetables. Growing your own produce from home is extremely rewarding & satisfying, it’s healthy and it’s a great way to get the kids interested in gardening (and good food). Vegetable gardening opens up a whole new, interesting, healthy world and it’s great that it’s becoming more and more popular – you’ll be amazed by how much there is to learn. If you’re a beginner gardener try and start small – keep it manageable so you don’t get put off, you can always increase the size later. Here’s a few handy hints to get you started:

It’s a proven fact that gardening is good for our health. We should be doing what we can to encourage the younger generation into this wonderful hobby, it will give them skills for life.

PLACEMENT

Before you go and dig up your lawn, or erect a raised garden, put a bit of thought into where you are going to place it. You want it to have sun, a bit of shelter from harsh wind, and make sure there’s an irrigation supply handy. It’s a good idea to rid the area of weeds before you go any further too – this could save you extra work in the long run, we sell weed mat by the metre to help keep them at bay. People have different methods for planting their produce – companion planting is very popular, and it’s a good idea to rotate your crops each year if possible. When you are planting your garden try and leave space in between rows for you to get around and think about the space that’s required for each vegetable as they grow.

PREPARATION

CREATING YOUR GARDEN

Whether you are starting from scratch or using an already established garden it’s absolutely essential to boost the quality of the soil - it can’t be stressed enough, quality soil is the lifeline to all plants. It pays to prepare the ground a week or so before planting, this gives time for the ‘ingredients’ to settle before adding plants. Your plants need a lot of goodness to establish & grow and in turn supply you with a nutritious

harvest. The main elements are nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) but there are many, many more. The pH is important, along with aeration, drainage etc. The science behind soil is actually very interesting, and very important, so we’ll explore that further in next week’s Garden Yarn. If you have an established garden then you need to “till” the soil. This means you are going to mix organic matter into the soil to help control weeds and break up ground for planting. You don’t need to do this very deep – around 30-60cm should be enough. Working it too deeply while the soil is still wet can damage the soil structure, it may become compacted and dry out too quickly.

If you’re creating a new garden a quality base should be used, such as Tui Vegetable Mix, along with other organic matter. When everything is mixed in then rake the surface smooth and water thoroughly. If you are short on space, or just want to keep it very simple, you can grow loads of things in pots or troughs. This is a great activity to do with the kids, and it’s handy to have them within sight – that way you won’t forget to maintain them!

PLANNING PRODUCE

If you’re a beginner then try and keep it simple – plant what you love, and what you’ll eat. It’s usually easier to grow from seedlings rather than seeds (although seeds are great fun). It’s a good idea to stagger the plantings to extend the harvest time and avoid having too much that could go to waste. Some good crops to start with are spinach, radish, lettuce, brassicas, silver beet and onions, but there’s much more!

ONGOING CARE VEGEPODS: As back yards get smaller container gardening is becoming more popular. Self-watering Vegepods have made gardening simple, tidy & compact.

Watering & feeding is important – healthy plants fight pest & disease easier. It’s important to replace the used nutrients as the plants grow. Fertilise once every four weeks during

the growing season – a liquid feed gives a quick boost, a slow release slowly provides nutrients. There are numerous fertilisers on the market, come and see us if you’re unsure what you need. Slugs and snails will love to feast on your new shoots so have some slug bait on hand (Tui Quash is safe for animals), and if you have problems with birds we sell bird netting by the metre. Hopefully this has encouraged a few of you out there to give it a go – you have absolutely nothing to lose, and so much to gain! Who would have thought that the poo from a chicken was so good for our gardens! Lucky for us the dirty work has been done and we have 40L bags of Poultry Compost for only $11 each.

There’s a lot of choice in the retail world these days and it can be confusing but you can be confident that if you see something in the ican range, you’re getting the best quality at a great price.

Buy both the Organic Vegetable Food & Real Blood & Bone for only $20. Growing your own vegetables from seed is an exciting project and well worth the effort. We recommend ican Chef’s Best seed – best strike rate, best harvest, best taste.

12 Wairarapa Midweek Opinion Wednesday, August 28, 2019 EDITORIAL

MIDWEEK PHOTOS

Opinion

Make the world a more magical place Be the magic you want to see in the world. This was a great piece of advice from Justine Kingdon who is opening up a fairy shop in a repurposed old train carriage in Greytown this weekend. You can read her full story on P38 of the Midweek (I’ll try not to give away too many spoilers). She adapted her motto from what is often referred to as Mahatma Gandhi’s quote “be the change you want to see in the world”. In fact, what Gandhi said is much deeper than that. His full quote is as follows. “We but mirror the world. All the tendencies present in the outer world are to be found in the world of our body. If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him. This is the divine mystery supreme.

CUTIE OF THE WEEK

Piece of mind

Emily Ireland A wonderful thing it is and the source of our happiness. We need not wait to see what others do.” Quite often, we assume that happiness is found externally. “I would be happier if I had more money.” “I would be happier if I had a different job.” The truth is – and this is a hard pill to swallow – you will only be happy if you choose to be happy. Once you realise that every part of how you interpret your own life is completely internal, you are able to empower yourself to be the change you want to see in your life. This extends into our communities. If you want to live in a more loving community, you need to put out the

love you want to see. If you want to live on a clean planet, you need to live a clean lifestyle. If you want a little bit of magic in your world, be the magic. Justine admits she would be poorly suited to a desk job – “I would dance on the desk and sing all day”. And so, instead of conforming to the world around her, she has become the magic she wants to see in the world. To Justine, magic has wings, sparkles, tulle, and a wand. But she also knows magic is love, looking after our planet, and caring for one another. Whatever your kind of magic is, make it happen. The world will be a better place for it.

Gentle Annie Saddle Margaret McLauchlan

At the end of July, six of us headed off from the Holdsworth carpark at 9am on a calm and fine morning. Although it was a bit cool as we started off, once we headed up the hill to the Holdsworth lookout we soon needed a stop to remove a layer of clothing. Within an hour, we were sitting in the sunshine on the seat at the lookout enjoying morning tea, pleased to have the hardest hill of the day done and dusted. We could see Carrington Ridge from here, where we would be climbing up later on in the day. The new Powell Hut stood out with its red roof. After an enjoyable break we headed into the bush

again but now the uphill was hardly noticeable. We stopped to view the remains of the old hut along the way before dropping down to Gentle Annie Saddle. It was great to hear the tui and bellbirds along this section of track. After reaching the saddle, it was uphill again, but the gradient was a lot easier than our initial climb up to the Holdsworth Lookout. We were soon on to Carrington Ridge and travelling through lovely almost goblin like bush with beautiful mosses all around. The old signposts at high point 801 marked our lunch spot. After lunch and some photos, we headed east along the old track and

dropped back down on to the main Gentle Annie Track. After seeing only one other person up until now, this part of the track was certainly a lot busier with day trippers, runners and overnight trampers either heading out or on their way back home. We were back at the carpark 5.5 hours after we left. Those on the trip were Denise, Thea, Brendan, Laura, Viv and Margaret • The Masterton Tramping Club meet on the ﬁrst Wednesday of each month (except January) at the Community Centre, 41 Perry Street, Masterton, at 7.30pm. • Visitors are welcome.

Ron Mark MP Manawatu Gorge A warning sign for our region

patchy internet and no airport service. We are a growing region and we are attracting more people and businesses who want to live in or visit our wonderful part of the world.

We all know the story. A few years ago, the Gorge was closed because of rock fall and it has taken officials a long time to get a plan in place to fix the link between Woodville and Palmerston North. This is a vital link, and the closure has placed pressure on other roads, as well as the businesses which rely on the flow of traffic through their town in order to survive. It seems the end is finally in sight. On 15 August, I attended an information session run by NZTA and those they have chosen to construct the new road, Te Ahu a Turanga: Manawatū Tararua Highway. The session was productive and presented information on the preliminary concept design, recent onsite activity, pre-construction works and the next steps for the project. It was also an opportunity for the community to meet the preferred alliance partners for the project - Fulton Hogan, HEB Construction Limited,

PHOTO/TAMARA EASTWOOD

Aurecon Limited and WSP-Opus. These companies are part of the interim project alliance and will work with NZTA to deliver the design, regional consenting and construction of the project. I wish them well, and it is great that progress is finally being made. I am looking forward to seeing the work get underway. But, let’s not forget the lesson in all of this. We in the Wairarapa are vulnerable when our infrastructure fails. We have one main road in, one main road out. One rail line, limited water storage,

Imagine if we lost the rail link and road to Wellington in an earthquake? How long would it be before we could restore that vital link? Well if the Manawatu Gorge is anything to go by; it would be a very long time. How many people in the Wairarapa would lose their jobs? How much revenue would our businesses miss out on with the loss of tourists? If we are to future proof our region we all must look at the bigger picture of our infrastructure and come together with a plan. It is something I am focused on and I have been having discussions with my colleagues about this issue. This isn’t a quick fix. It will take years. But, we must act now to build resilience required to get our region through any major issue. The closure of the Manawatu Gorge has served as a warning and we must learn from that.

Limited Service Volunteers In my recent column in the Wairarapa Times-Age, I talked about the benefits of the Limited Service Volunteer programme (LSV). I’d like to make another call for young people interested in doing something worthwhile and a little bit out of your comfort zone to talk to Work and Income about getting on the course. I’d also like to reiterate my call for employers to attend the LSV Employer Day expo. If you need young, drug free people who are motivated and ready to work then you’ll find them here. I make no bones about this, if New Zealand employers won’t support these young people, then I will not support your bid to bring in foreign labour – these young people are good and deserve a chance.

Come and say hello One of the many things I like about being an MP is meeting a wide range of people and hearing about what they like and dislike about politics and our region. If you see me on the street feel free to stop me. If you have thoughts or opinions on how we, as a Government can do things better, then let me know. The more I hear from you, the more I learn which makes me a better representative for you in Parliament.

What is the ISS up to? If you get a chance, and assuming you have read your Midweek early enough, there is a nice passage of the International Space Station (ISS) an hour after sunset tonight. Get outside before 6.45pm. The ISS will appear just above the southern part of the ranges a minute later. It’s going to pass right across the southern sky, which should be fairly dark by then. This is nearly a sixminute passage, so you have plenty of time if you don’t catch it to start with. The ISS spends about the first three minutes rising to a quarter of the way up the southern sky. You should see it pass between the bright star Canopus in Carina on the south-south-west horizon and the Southern Cross halfway up the sky. It then begins to arc down towards the southeast, blinking out just beyond the brightish star Achernar in Eridanus, another three minutes later. You can see the ISS again tomorrow night (Thursday), but it will happen about an hour later and lasts for only half the time. So, why does the ISS seem to change orbit?

The International Space Station crossing the face of the moon.

Sky Watch

Nick Sault And why don’t we see it every 90 minutes, which is its orbital period? Well, the fact is the space station stays in the same orbit. It’s easy to forget that the Earth is also rotating, and in each 90 minutes between ISS orbits, New

Zealand has moved on 15 degrees. That 15-degree movement of the Earth is often enough to ensure that ISS will not rise above our horizon 90 minutes later in its next orbit of Earth. However, the next day,

PHOTO/GETTY IMAGES

24 hours later, it may pass across our sky again, but that will eventually get out of step, such that there will be times when we don’t see it at all, and times when you will see it a number of mornings before sunrise. Then of course, it’s no good if the space station passes over us when the sun is far below the horizon, because it needs to catch the sun for us to see it at all.

Kicking multiple sclerosis We had one of our most inspirational interviews with Nick Perkins from the Kicking MS Charitable Trust a few weeks ago. Many of you will remember the community fundraising events that raised funds to send Nick to Singapore two years ago to receive HSCT (hematopoietic stem cell transplantation) treatment to cure his multiple sclerosis (MS). Nick is looking to expand their board and find event volunteers for the fundraising events they do throughout the year. Their next fundraising event is the Annual Kicking MS Charitable Trust Lawn Bowls Tournament which is being held on Friday, November 22 from 1pm to 7pm at the Masterton Bowling Club in Queen Elizabeth Park. Nick, who was diagnosed with MS five years ago, received treatment two years ago and is now back to normal with a clean bill of health. Describing how the community fundraising was for Nick and his family, he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the amazing Wairarapa just gives and gives, so we knew that we had to give backâ&#x20AC;?.

MINI MASTERTON MONTHLY WRAP

FOR THE FULL MONTHLY WRAP VISIT WWW.MSTN.GOVT.NZ

TOWN HALL CONSULTATION The Masterton community will help decide the future of the Town Hall in a formal consultation planned for later this year. The decision to consult comes following the Council commissioned an assessment on the level of demand for events space in Masterton, and the impact such a space may have on the local economy.

to make yourself heard.

The details of this market demand and economic impact assessment are available on our website. At a high level, it found a low level of demand for an events space; community theatre groups were among the main identified potential users. However, the assessment also found a permanent theatre-style events space was unlikely to be utilised well. Council has also done some work on initial costings to inform decisions around what to do with the existing buildings and potential for a new civic centre or events space. There is still a small amount of work to do on gathering this information together before it can be shared publicly. The town hall building was closed in June 2016 because its earthquake rating was below the required standard. Council gained some understanding of what the Masterton community would like to see happen thanks to two initial rounds of consultation. In 2017, we asked for initial thoughts on options for the town hall; 65 per cent of submitters said they would like to see a new centre built instead of strengthening the existing building. This feedback prompted Council to propose building a new civic centre in the Long-Term Plan. Almost 60 per cent of submitters supported this option and, as a result, $15.5 million was set aside for construction.

Council candidates named: Nominations for the upcoming election closed last week and all those that put their names forward are now on our website mstn.govt.nz/vote2019. There are four contenders for Mayor and 20 for the 10 seats on Council. As a reminder: y Voting papers will be posted from 20 September y If you’re enrolled, papers will be posted to your house y If you missed the enrolment cut off, or lost or damaged your voting papers, you can still cast a special vote. We’ll have a list of locations on our website y Papers need to be received by midday 12 October.

9TH OF SEPTEMBER IS THE DATE TO REMEMBER The countdown is on – in less than a month (9th September) the Wairarapa’s new wheelie bin service will start.

y Recycling pick up will alternate; one week

recycling wheelie bins will be picked up, the next your glass crates will be picked up. You’ll need to check which week you’re on (week 1 or week 2). Your wheelie bin will have either a number 1 or 2 on the side. If yours has a number 2, you will put your wheelie bin out on the first week of the service (starting Sept 9th). If yours has a 1 on the side, you can put your glass crates out and wait until the next week to put your wheelie bin out. All this is outlined in your kerbside recycling handbook that comes with your wheelie bin.

If you’re in urban Masterton, Greytown, Featherston, Martinborough or Carterton and pay for recycling in your rates, a wheelie bin will be rolling your way shortly, if it hasn’t already. You will also receive a handbook outlining all the details about the cleaner, greener and smarter recycling service – if you’ve misplaced yours give us a call on 06 370 6300. Once the service starts, there are a few things to remember:

y Both your current recycling crates will be used for glass only. All your other recyclables will go into your wheelie bin.

We are. Local Government.

y For some Masterton houses, your pickup day will

change. You’ll be notified by Council if this applies to you.

MANAGING WATER SCARCITY AT HENLEY LAKE Masterton’s Henley Lake was first conceived in the 1960s and constructed in the 1980s. Now, more than 30 years on, water scarcity across the Wairarapa region has prompted the need to consider the future of the lake. Henley Lake relies on water from the Ruamāhunga River – when the river gets low it becomes a challenge to keep water flowing into the lake. The low water flow results in dropping water levels creating ideal conditions for toxic algae and putting a stop to water sports and dogs running free off lead. Because the arrangements for the Council to divert water from the river need to be renewed, now is the time to take a fresh look at how we manage Henley Lake and, in particular, how we source water. The Masterton District Council set up a working party to explore some ideas about Henley Lake’s future. It has made some progress and has clearly defined the challenges and some potential options for the future of the lake. The next step is to see what people who regularly use the lake and its surrounding environment think. With that in mind, we will be talking to key groups and users over the next few months to flesh out our ideas before undertaking a formal consultation.

All Black legends C’est Cheese

The second annual Featherston Expo and Afternoon Tea takes place at Anzac Hall on Sunday 29 September from 1pm to 5pm.

C’est Cheese enjoyed the company of not one, but four All Black legends earlier this month when Michael Jones, John Kirwan, Grant Fox and Gary Whetton popped in together to try some of its cheesy delights.

After last year’s successful inaugural run which attracted around 50 stalls and 500 visitors, this year’s event looks like it will be even bigger, says Indigo Freya who is organising it with Kate Peters. Last year “the atmosphere was incredible - bubbly, lively and enthusiastic,” says Indigo.

They are the latest of hundreds, if not thousands, of visitors to Featherston who have discovered this award winning shop.

FEATHERSTON EXPO & AFTERNOON TEA. Editorial sponsored by For the Love of Books

IT’S A WEE BIT CHEESY BUT C’EST CHEESE HAS GOT IT ALL. C’est Cheese

The concept behind the Expo is to have everything in Featherston in one place, she says.

Owner Paul Broughton described winning the award to receiving best supporting actor.

“So people can wander around and have a look at businesses, clubs, social groups and all sorts of services like the Featherston’s volunteer firemen and police forces.

“We are here on a daily basis, backing up the real stars - our small to medium sized New Zealand cheese makers and that’s the real honour.”

“There will be Mini-Mutts, Featherston RSA, Kapai Kids Club, Brookside Development, Fab Feathy - you name it!”

You can share any of these cheeses and a variety of dishes with cheese as the “hero ingredient” in C’est Cheese’s Cheese Bar which has seating for 23 diners.

Entry for visitors is free, and there is no charge for stall holders, the only requirement being that businesses can’t sell their product at the Expo, although they can take orders. There will be live performances on stage and a rolling afternoon tea with members of Featherston Lionesses serving tea, coffee and biscuits funded through grants. This year’s Expo is twice as long as last year’s so there will be plenty of time to look around and talk to people.

Aretha concert to screen Amazing Grace, the much-anticipated Aretha Franklin concert film will screen at Regent 3 Cinemas as part of the 2019 New Zealand International Film Festival. Film Talks’ Jane Ross and RNZ’s Mark Rogers will be introducing the film at the NZIFF screening on August 30 at 6pm. Ahead of this screening, Ross talked with Rogers about the music of Aretha Franklin, and the myths that surrounded a film fraught with technical difficulties and decades of legal disputes. JR: What do you know about the filming of Amazing Grace? MR: Sidney Pollock directed this movie, and he filmed it over two nights at the New Temple Missionary Baptist Church, Los Angeles, in early 1972. Apparently, there were big technical difficulties with the editing – the sound of the music was completely out of sync with the images in the film. While the film was delayed in production, the soundtrack was released later that year and it was a massive hit. JR: The double-set became Franklin’s biggest-selling album, and

released, but Franklin’s lawyers yet again put a stop to it, and it was pulled from all the festivals.

The Aretha Franklin concert film Amazing Grace will screen at Regent 3 Cinemas, Masterton. PHOTO/NZIFF

it remains the highestgrossing gospel music collection ever recorded. Why do you think this album has been so successful? MR: Aretha was in her prime. She had recorded all that rhythm and blues with Atlantic Records and released some stone-cold classics. But this album was a return to her roots and doing what she does best. Her background, more or less since the day she was born, was as a gospel singer. The combination of Franklin, a gospel choir, and the band just knocked

it out of the park. So, when the album came out, it was winning awards left right and centre. It was a stunning piece of work. But not so for the film. Pollock just never finished the edit. JR: So, the film just sat on a shelf? MR: It sat on a shelf in a vault for decades and for what reason, who knows? Some say it was about money. Others say Franklin was unhappy with the finished product. But for whatever reason, Franklin just kept saying “no”. So, it never got that cinematic release.

JR: Pollock maintained that the film was never released due to Franklin’s contractual issues. And maybe the lack of action on the film these past few decades tainted Franklin’s feelings towards it. I read that Alan Elliot, a former employee of Atlantic records, now owns the rights to the film. When he finally assembled a feature-length film, he then faced at least a decade of legal issues. MR: In 2015, Elliot tried to screen Amazing Grace at various film festivals in Canada and the United States. It was included in programmes, and trailers and film clips were

JR: Franklin was gravely unwell at the time and that certainly would put a different light on releasing the film. After Franklin’s death, Elliot worked with her niece, Sabrina Owens, and made a plan with her family to release the film. MR: It was in fact released worldwide this year in April. It’s been a critical success, as I always knew it would. Listening to the album and looking at the trailers, I always knew that it would be a big hit. It’s staggering. JR: How did you feel when you heard the film was coming to New Zealand, and to be included in the Masterton NZIFF programme? MR: It’s the Holy Grail. It’s what I’ve always been waiting for. I’m beyond excited. • Amazing Grace screens at Regent 3 Cinemas on Thursday August 29 at 11am and Friday August 30 at 6pm as part of the new Zealand International Film Festival. • Bookings are highly recommended.

A ‘lucky’ cancer journey Emma Brown A shock cancer diagnosis hasn’t stopped Dr Jacqueline Bews from pursuing her dream of continuing her university studies back at Oxford. The 74-year-old Masterton woman’s mission to continue her research has been delayed not once, but twice, after injuring herself while packing and then being diagnosed with bowel cancer. After finishing her PHD in Edinburgh, Bews came back home to finalise everything before the big move back to continue her study on brain and cognitive neuroscience research, evolving into the genetic landscape in intelligence and other areas of personality. Her trip was first postponed in 2017 after she ripped tendons on her right shoulder while packing for the move. Then, only weeks before she was planning to leave in January 2019, she found out she had bowel cancer. After much contemplation after receiving her free bowel screening pack, Bews decided why not do the test, and she sent it in on December 9, 2018. “When I got the envelope my immediate thought was no, then I opened it,” Bews said. “It was so simple, it took me less than one minute.” Only three days later she got her results back, positive. “I didn’t realise there were bad positives,” she said. She said without the insistence by the Wairarapa District Health Board [DHB] to go back on Christmas Eve for a colonoscopy, she would have kept pushing it off and got on the plane back to the United Kingdom. Two days later, she had a CT scan and tumours were found. Because of the severity of her case, she was transferred to Wellington,

and on February 18 she had her colon removed. Bews dubbed her surgery “the birth of IT” – her stoma. “I didn’t realise how exhausted I would be.” “It was a huge wakeup call for me.” “The next day I put on a dress, earrings and wanted to get on a plane,” putting that down to determination, exhaustion and the anaesthesia. What surprised her was that she had no symptoms. “I didn’t know, or I didn’t want to know,” she said. Ironically, she remembers walking to physio only months before and seeing a display on bowel cancer. “I saw it, thought I’m fine, no thank you,” she said. “Only to find out I had been walking around with these horrible things growing in me saying I’m fine.” Looking back, she said she had been feeling a bit tired but had put that down to long hours writing papers and skyping the university at 4am. Bews said that being otherwise healthy gave surgeons the ability to remove her whole colon, a decision that saved her life. They found one of her smaller tumours, which would have been left if she had only part of her colon

removed, was hiding an aggressive type of cancer. “My situation has made others aware that this could happen to them,” Bews said. “It’s just like other cancers, anybody can get it.” Bews has come to find that there is a stigma attached to colon cancer that restricts casual conversation and knowledge about it. “You don’t say, do you want to look at my bag?” She said the awareness

of bowel cancer was not like breast cancer, which has pink ribbon day, or prostate cancer, which has the blue ribbon. Before she leaves, she said she would try to talk to as many people as she could, however heading back overseas couldn’t come soon enough. “I am so ready to get my life back and go over there.” She said that Oxford University, where she plans to continue her research, had been great

and did not mind. They told her, “when you arrive, we will care for ‘IT’ and you”. Her doctor, Dr Ali Shekouh once said to her, “too many of my patients put their life on hold and wait to see if everything is okay or will be okay”. “Your pattern of life will have to change, don’t let that control you, when you start to get back in control, take that opportunity and go back over to England.” For Bews, she was ready to go as soon as Dr Ali Shekouh would let her. When he finally gave her an indication on when she may be able to travel, she went straight home, booked her tickets and sent him a picture. “I’m just feeling so bouncy again.” “There are so many cases when it is too late.” “There has to be bigger awareness.” She said, if she lived somewhere else without the free screening, she would easily have gone unchecked and had a different outcome. Bews said from the moment she got the news, her life flipped, and it has now flipped back. She said the DHBs and her colorectal team were “tops”. “They made everything happen so fast.” The free screening programme is only available in selected places around the country for 60 to 74-year-olds. Bews is happy to see the expansion of the programme into Wellington next year and hopes the screening will be available to a wider age range in the future. Hearing about the demand on the system, she hopes this expansion won’t affect the quality of service. “If you are fortunate to receive the free screening pack in your letterbox, do it immediately, it’s incredibly simple. “If you have any symptoms, go to your doctor.”

Bride of the Year success Gianina Schwanecke

For Renee Gleeson, donning her wedding dress again at this year’s Wairarapa Bride of the Year brought back memories of her special day. Gleeson [nee Clapperton] and her husband Daniel married at the end of January this year at the Tauherenikau Racecourse. The two Masterton locals met at the end of high school with Daniel proposing on their 10-year anniversary in December 2017. “It was a surprise for me. We walked up Mt Vic in Wellington and he proposed when we got to the top,” Gleeson said. They had about 120 guests at their wedding with five bridesmaids and groomsmen, including her stepsister and his two sisters. There were touches and tributes to family traditions, with Gleeson wearing a ring from her paternal grandfather and her maternal grandmother’s wedding garter as part of her something old and something blue. Her wedding dress, something new, was from Hello Romeo in Martinborough. “The lace still gives you a bit of a figure while the tulle floats over the top,” she said. Gleeson was presented with the award by the first ever Wairarapa Bride of Year winner and said it was

nice to talk to other brides and see some of the dresses from winners of the past five decades. Her advice to other brides was to be mindful of post-wedding blues. “People tell you that you get post-wedding blues and it’s so true. “You spend a whole year thinking about and planning for this day. “After everything’s died down you find you haven’t got much to do.” The competition was a nice chance for her to relive some of those memories and capture the excitement of her wedding day, she said. Encouraged by friends who had previously entered, she decided to enter herself. “I’ve paid enough money for this dress; I should wear it again,” she said. She said she was more nervous about the dress still fitting than the people in the audience. “There’s always that moment of truth when you have to put the dress back on,” she laughed. It was a great opportunity for those who missed out on her big day to see the dress again though. Runner-up, or Highly Commended, went to Monique Jackett (nee Harlen). Shannon Hayes (nee Hayes) came in third place, as Commended. The fourth place Special Award went to Tova Bargh (nee Miller).

Your shopping opportunity Op shopping is a great way to keep the fashion and homewares industry sustainable. Keen op shopper BEA NORMAN shares her Wairarapa experiences. It’s nearing the end of winter, but I’m always feeling like I haven’t quite got enough warm clothes to get through. I’m always wanting to wear the same reliable warm items. So today it’s a clothes hunt and the best place to find a huge selection of new and second-hand clothing is Savemart – The Recycled Clothing Store. Now I have to confess that for years I didn’t know of Savemart’s existence. My mother-in-law enlightened me when I was remarking to her about her friend who had the most stunning clothing and always looked like she had stepped out from a movie set. Her choice of shop? Savemart. Sadly, I find the entrance not so appealing (remember I’m a display window girl), but when you take your first steps inside, the colours and mass hit you. The entrance way is a distant memory – you are now entering clothing heaven. Savemart is part of a New Zealand owned company that has grown over the past 40 years to be the largest used clothing recyclers in the country, bringing the best in quality and style at affordable prices. Savemart is a proud supporter of the Child Cancer Foundation and other not-for-profit organisations. The Masterton Savemart is open weekdays from 10am to 4pm, and Saturday until 3pm in Masterton. So, New Zealandowned, affordable prices, supporting cancer foundations – it’s ticking all the boxes – come on inside. So today the winter hunt begins. I hope to find another pair of jeans and a warm woollen coat. Jeans are my absolute favourite item to score in the op shop, this is because they have such a selection and are priced so reasonably, and these days you wouldn’t know the difference between a brand-new pair of jeans to an op shop bought pair. Let’s be realistic, paying top dollar for ‘distressed’

Op shops offer a wider selection of clothes to buy.

It pays to try on second-hand clothing before making a purchase.

jeans, when the op shop jeans look no different to that expensive brand-new pair? I’m laughing. I can tell you right now that the distressed jeans in Savemart look better quality than what I’ve seen in new clothing shops. I have a system in Savemart – there is always a system. First, it’s the rack as you enter with ‘designer labels’. I’m not really a ‘designer label’ person. What inspires me in clothing is ‘something different’. Long before op shopping was fashionable, I’d be hunting the racks looking for something with a style of its own. Not one to follow the trends, I didn’t want to be walking down the road wearing the same current ‘in-trend’. So, my idea is to look for colours and styles that can be layered for a new look – my look. I’m also fond of pattern in materials and the feel of a garment, so I’ve been known to buy something because of the material, in the hope of pulling it apart to make something different that fits me. Now the designer label stuff can hold some real treats in different materials and I’m always

drawn to that first. Savemart does an incredibly nice idea by grouping clothing in colours. So straight away you can focus on colours that you like. I have a confession to make here: I love orange, anything orange, even if an item isn’t my size, I’ve purchased it because of its divine orange colour or material. I’ve thought about this a lot, why my obsession with orange is so strong. My very earliest memory is of looking at my hands holding the wooden sides to my cot as a small child and looking at the 60s wallpaper my parents had decorated the room with. Large, massive beautiful orange circles and even in my thoughts I can hear my giggles of total happiness and contentment – orange is my safe and happy colour. Now, I’ve said before I’m not a label person, but on the opposite end of clothing styles I get annoyed with over pricing. I’m far more inclined to pick up twice the number of items and re-donate them later on, than buy an item that I know brand new in the shops on their sale rack was cheaper than what is demanded on the second hand

PHOTOS/STOCK.ADOBE.COM

pre-worn item. Keep it real out there I say. Yes, it’s for charity but keep it reasonable enough so the turnover keeps happening. My idea of op shopping follows a simple rule. If I buy an item, I need to donate an item. So, I’m always carefully considering what goes in the wardrobe must have an outgoing item. So, I don’t buy something that I’m not 100 per cent fond of. Savemart is a real treasure, and you’ll be shocked at how big it is if you haven’t visited before. While in the store today I overheard a man saying, “I knew this place was here all my life, but this is the first time I’ve been inside, and I can’t believe how much you have in here”. This store has labelled sections well and there is no confusion as to where to go to find something. Menswear, ethnic clothing, retro, babies, costume, dresses – it’s well set out and soft music lulls you into a relaxed mood, passing bags, belts, shoes, and wedding dresses. The winter boot selection is amazing, and I’ll confess to being side-tracked trying on five different pairs of boots. When you start browsing the coat selection, it has two sides and then more racks with two sides, it’s incredible. When you go into a clothing retail shop you will have only the current styles and trends at your disposal. And let’s be honest, they seem to pick a small selection of colours that all of us are apparently into at this current moment – and because we all want to look like each other apparently. News flash – some of us don’t suit browns or don’t want to be walking around in ‘karitane’ yellow. But here in front of me is every colour imaginable

and in every style of coat or jacket. I have to reign myself in and only pick one item that will give me the most winter wear, and I’ve found a beauty. 100 per cent wool coat with lace edging. Not an outdoor waterproof coat but that extra layer for both inside and outside wear. I found six pairs of jeans that looked to be my size. But I have another rule. You have to be prepared to try on. It’s no good purchasing items that don’t fit, and being disappointed when you have nothing to showyou’re your ‘bargain spend’. Exception to the rule: if it’s so cheap, buy, try later, and if it doesn’t fit, donate back. It’s probably a good idea that only one pair fitted me today, it would have been a hard decision to take only one pair. These were brand new and still had the price tags on. Op shopping is a planned event for me with a purpose in mind otherwise I get carried away. With my two items in hand I made the decision to leave and finish off this pleasant adventure. A really lovely young girl served me at the counter. That friendly approach is what makes it so much nicer in planning a return visit. This was a great wet weather day adventure, and you could easily spend a day browsing. Savemart is definitely worth a visit. Your size, your style, your item is in there. And if you are looking for that ‘special events outfit’, invite me to the outfit hunt. I’d be keen to prove they have it – oh and I’m an expert at shopping with someone else’s money.

Choc self-saucing pudding

Clean Eating with Mo

Monique Kloeg The beauty of travelling the world is the fresh perspective it gives you. Whether it’s the magnificent landscape, experiencing the local cuisine or the hospitality of the locals, the world is truly a wonderful place. Usually when I travel, I like to explore the cities for their bakeries. I will do my research, normally via Instagram, and map out the places that have inspired me over social media. It’s a fun way to explore all the nooks and crannies of a city and eat lots of yummy food. I visited the famous bakery that created the cronut ‘Dominique Ansel’ in New York, and to be honest it was disappointing. The reason it was disappointing was the lack of good service. Throughout our travels in Canada and USA, the one thing that really struck us was the great service and hospitality we received wherever we went. We had hyped ourselves up so much about going to this particular bakery that receiving this service was such an anti-climax.

It didn’t even really matter how the cronut tasted – we were left with a bitter aftertaste. Everyone has been asking if I felt inspired after my holiday. Food wise, not so much, attitude wise, 100 per cent! Friendly hospitality is free … well it’s actually not. In North America, tipping 15 per cent is a nonnegotiable expense. If the service is exceptional, they get tipped higher. In New Zealand, it is already included in the price and paid through the employees’ wages. This is a good reminder that another person’s perspective of you and the company you work for can be immediately altered from how they are treated. This is an important lesson to learn, and one we will be at constant battle with. Getting back into routine after my holiday has been tough, especially in the evenings as it’s so dark and cold. One thing that did cheer me up was chocolate selfsaucing pudding.

DAFFODIL DAY

Help the Cancer Society this Friday This Friday and Saturday volunteers will be collecting in Wairarapa for Daffodil Day, the Cancer Society’s annual fundraising appeal. The Wairarapa branch of the Cancer Society receives no government funding so relies heavily on funds raised locally on Daffodil Day. Volunteers will be asking for a donation for a silk daffodil. Merchandise will also be for sale, such as Simmons, the limited edition Daffodil Day 2019 teddy bear, and other memorabilia such as pens, pins and silk daffodils. There will be 12 collection sites throughout Wairarapa on Friday and some on Saturday, supported by an

army of volunteers. Look for fundraising events at your school or workplace such as the sausage sizzles outside Masterton Mitre 10. Schools will be holding mufti days and coin trails to raise awareness of cancer and support the Cancer Society’s work.

This Daffodil Day Castlepoint lighthouse is “Going Yellow” in support of the Cancer Society’s 35 years’ of service to the Wairarapa community. The lighthouse will be yellow on both Friday 30th and Saturday 31st August. The Cancer Society is also encouraging everyone to go yellow with a yellow theme at home, work or school. Hold a bake sale, host a morning tea or meal or any other creative fundraising ideas you can come up with. The options are endless.

Volunteers have been busy growing, picking and bunching up the daffodils for delivery by Fastway Couriers to over 400 businesses throughout Wairarapa On Tuesday 27 August. These fresh daffs will also be available for sale from Cancer Society Wairarapa’s Margaret Chittick House, 37 Te Ore Ore Road, on Friday 30 August from 10.30am.

Donations are making a difference The donations made on Daffodil Day are crucial to reducing the incidence and impact of cancer in the community and ensuring the best cancer care for New Zealanders. Daffodil Day is in its 29th year and is the largest street collection day in New Zealand. For the one in three people diagnosed each year, the money raised is spent in each region and allocated to sustain services and fund important initiatives.

Supporting people affected by cancer The Cancer Society provides a range of support services for people with cancer and their families, whanau, friends and carers, including its Cancer Information Helpline 0800 CANCER (226 237). The cancer nurses who answer the calls provide information on different diagnoses, treatments and living with cancer. Support services can include driving people to appointments, assisting with accommodation, peer support networks and massage relaxation and counselling therapists.

to develop a body of evidence on psycho-social-spiritual support needs.

The Cancer Society also demonstrates its commitment to investing in quality social and behavioural cancer research through its support of the Cancer Society Social and Behavioural Research Unit in the Department of Preventive and Social Medicine at the University of Otago.

Information resources

The research unit works across all health promotion areas to build up and maintain the evidence base, evaluate health promotion programmes and support postgraduate students into the field. It also works with cancer survivors

The Cancer Society has developed one of the country’s largest information resources on all types of cancers and treatments.

The Cancer Society works to reduce people’s risk of certain cancers by making the places where people work, live and play healthier. These sorts of changes are achieved by lobbying policy makers, local councils and community leaders to create healthier public policy and environments.

DAFFODIL DAY Cancer Society at forefront of cancer By donating to the Cancer Society, you are contributing to the vital role it plays in research and advocacy for people with cancer. For instance, the Cancer Society last week announced funding of nearly $2 million to kick start a new direction for cancer research in New Zealand which will focus on cancer prevention and support. This research will be undertaken by the newly formed Cancer Society Research Collaboration, which will be hosted by Otago University. The Collaboration draws together leading cancer researchers working in the areas of cancer and chronic conditions, health promotion and policy, smokefree research, and the previous Social and Behavioural Research Unit.

New Zealand has well documented inequities in cancer, the most significant between Maori and non-Maori. The research will have a particular focus on finding ways to eliminate these unfair differences.

It includes experts in public health, Maori health, social science, Pacific health and clinical medicine.

“We expect to see important new knowledge come from this new collaboration in the prevention, supportive care and psycho-social areas of cancer,” says Cancer Society Chief Executive Mike Kernaghan.

The Collaboration will be led by senior Otago University staff Professors Janet Hoek, Diana Sarfati and Louise Signal, Associate Professor Sue Crengle and Drs Richard Egan and Rachael McLean.

“This is an exciting partnership for the Cancer Society. The Collaboration includes many of New Zealand’s leading researchers and we look forward to working closely with them.”

The Cancer Society will continue to fund world-class bench-top and clinical research through its project grants, as well as scholarships for established and emerging researchers, Mr Kernaghan says. “However, this major five-year grant underlines our commitment to investing in the prevention of cancer and support of those with cancer. “We want to know how best to support people through change, what we need to do to help their recovery on a psychosocial level, how we might support people surviving with cancer, and the most effective ways to create behaviour changes that promote health and reduce cancer risk.” Cancer is the number one cause of death in New Zealand and the number of people affected is predicted to increase by 50% in the next 15 years,” says Dr Chris Jackson, Cancer Society Medical Director. “We need to see fewer cancers by better cancer prevention, and improved care and support to help with the distress it causes many New Zealanders and their whānau.”

research and advocacy New Zealand-based knowledge will play an important role in the research of the Collaboration. For instance, Māori and Pacific people having higher rates of preventable cancers, worse survival and higher death rates than other New Zealanders. Cancer Society Research Collaboration lead researcher Associate Professor Crengle, says New Zealand has well documented inequities in cancer, the most significant between Maori and nonMaori. The research will have a particular focus on finding ways to eliminate these unfair differences. The Cancer Society has also been playing a significant role in the move towards establishing a national cancer agency to provide leadership in the sector. At the beginning of this year the Cancer Society and the University of Otago, in partnership with the Ministry of Health and New Zealand Society for Oncology, held the “Cancer Care at a Crossroads” conference in Wellington.

A sprinkling of fairy dust Emily Ireland In an old repurposed railway carriage in Greytown, Justine Kingdon is living her dream. Her motto is all about being “the magic you want to see in the world”. Justine has been freespirited from a young age, always enticed by the gypsy lifestyle, living off the land and selling crafts. Now, she’s a step closer to her dream, having recently shifted the repurposed railway carriage to the property she rents in Greytown, to open it as a shop. Inside the small space are dolls, trinkets, clothing, and furniture – all upcycled or repurposed by Justine. Ten per cent of all sales will be donated to missionary work in India through the New Zealand Church Missionary Society (NZCMS). The group in India focuses on equality and dignity for all people primarily through youth work and family programmes, conducts trafficking awareness programmes, and sets up village level protection committees that are equipped to respond to trafficking. “They prevent trafficking, educate children, help rescue trafficked kids, and also

work in the breaking down of gender and caste discrimination,” Justine said. “And that work needs to continue.” “[My shop is selling] predominantly to children and adult children, so why not have it that we are actually supporting children elsewhere in the world? “There’s a deep magic in that.” Justine will open the shop from 9am until 1pm on weekends and will

dedicate her afternoons to hosting parties for children and “adult children”. Over summer, she wants to hold workshops where people can learn the upcycled arts, how to grow vegetables, and “how to turn trash into treasure”. Embracing the magic of the venture, Justine will assume her character Fairy Gaia when working. “Gaia is a principle of oneness with everything. “In my desire to help heal the planet, I’m doing my upcycling.

“Children are going to be the ones who save the planet and so accessing their belief in that and their belief in magic is important. “It’s magic to heal the planet. It’s magic not to throw stuﬀ away. It’s magic to not buy stuﬀ that has been made by kids who have no choice but to work. “I suppose in a way it’s a visionary act because not many people do things like this. “It’s time to be positive and to believe in other

possibilities and make them come true.” Fairy Gaia’s shop, at 116 Kuratawhiti St Greytown, will have an oﬃcial launch on the ﬁrst day of spring – this Sunday, September 1, running from noon until 2pm. “There will be free pony rides, a performing dog with wings, magical bubbles, possibly a story reading,” Justine said. She said people who came dressed up would get a lucky dip prize.

A velvet voice for a discerning audience But it is his singing voice that Lance feels is the element that really connects him with his audience.

While resthomes may seem like an easy gig, their residents are, like everyone else, particular about who they want back for a second time.

His style allows him to capture some of the most famous vocalists of what he calls “the magic era” of music - the 1950s to 1970s, such as Jim Reeves, John Rowles, Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra. “I get as close to the original as I can.”

When talking to care facility managers and diversional therapists, Lance’s name regularly comes up as an entertainer they gladly welcome back for repeat performances.

One of the most popular, of course, is Elvis Presley. A veteran Elvis performer, Lance also includes some of his most famous moves, a combo that has been known to get a standing ovation.

For the past eight or so years, Lance has been entertaining residents full-time throughout Wairarapa and as far north as Palmerston North and Dannevirke, performing up to 10 gigs a week.

“Every performance is di˜ erence. You still have to give of yourself and connect with your audience.” Lance also has the knack of connecting with his audiences,

often getting them up and dancing. “I like elderly people and get on well with them.” Lance accompanies himself on the guitar which he has played for many years, but also uses a

independence purpose trusted

Positive ageing strategy launched

wide array of modern technology to create a very realistic backing sound.

One of the most popular entertainers at senior care facilities around the Wairarapa is Lance Naysmith.

A resthome performance is in essence no di˜ erent to any other sort, Lance says.

Lance is constantly extending his repertoire, often prompted by requests, and over the past week has been working on Blue Velvet by Bobby Vinton and My Special Angel by Bobby Helms. When not visiting care facilities, Lance is singing and DJing at weddings, birthdays, Christmas and private functions.

Wairarapa’s Positive Ageing Strategy was launched in Carterton earlier this month with Minister for Seniors Tracey Martin present, along with the region’s three mayors. Funded with help from the O° ce for Seniors, the strategy has been two years in development and has as its guiding principles a desire to use positive images of older people as part of its “narrative”, along with seeking to “ensure equity and cultural diversity”. The document’s six strategic goals are community support and health services, communications and engagement, transport, cultural diversity, housing, and places, spaces and activities. Masterton Mayor Lyn Patterson said it was important councils considered all ages. “We have an ageing population alongside strong growth in younger demographics, and it’s important we cater for

all. Simple things can make a huge di˜ erence, like transport, connection, and accessibility.” Martin said the strategy was about providing a “better later life. Often, when we hear about older people we hear about what they will cost. We don’t hear what they put back. For one thing, they tend to spend their money, and they volunteer.” South Wairarapa Mayor Viv Napier said, “Our growing ageing population is an integral part of our community and older people have so much to o˜ er. This strategy will go a long way to helping our Kaumatua lead enriched and meaningful lives.” Carterton Mayor John Booth said there needed to be focus on communication. “My hope is that this strategy will help us create a community in Wairarapa where all people can stay connected and ensure things such as technology don’t become a barrier.”

We’ll go shopping in the store and reminiscing At the back of Lyndale Manor in Cole Street, Masterton, you will ÿ nd New Zealand’s only still extant GHB store. Many older Wairarapa residents will remember the GHB chain of grocery stores that existed throughout New Zealand from the 1950s to the 1980s including GHB Murdoch’s in Kuripuni. Now that store’s sign graces the front of the Lyndale Manor GHB Reminiscing Store, formerly a cook’s cottage, at the dementia care facility.

the GHB Reminiscing Shop, its aim to evoke memories, stimulate mental activity and improve residents’ well-being with the assistance of props, pictures and objects. “The cottage had been standing empty for years and we always thought it would be good to turn it into a shop to reminisce in,” says Barbara. “Mary was keen to work through ideas for multisensory therapies which was fantastic, and all the sta° joined in creating the shop such as painting the inside and polishing the native wooden ˛ oor. “We are still developing the outside which will eventually have a path from the main building and deck at the front, with an old bike and barrel to look like a village store.” Among the props in the shop is a vintage till, purchased o° Trade Me,

paper bags, telephone, Aunt Daisy and Edmond cook books, pre-decimal coins, and photos to stimulate residents’ memories. A lovely video made by Barbara shows ÿ ve or six residents squeezed in the shop while Lyndale’s cook, dressed up for the occasion in a white outÿ t and chef’s hat, hands out freshly cooked mu˝ ns. You can see the residents come out of their shell, prompted by the occasion and the familiar elements. Barbara remembers when she ÿ rst started working with people with dementia in the 1970s at Wellington Hospital, specialist facilities were few and far between. “They would just wander around in circles in their pyjamas in the ward.” Reminiscing therapy has been found to have some positive e° ects on residents in the

domains of cognitive, communication and mood, involving discussing and experiencing things from the past, Barbara says. Asked why this matters, Barbara responds that it gives them back their dignity. Both Mary and Barbara believe that life continues to have meaning for a person even once they have dementia, and experiences like the GHB Reminiscing Shop are ways to restore meaning to them.

YEARS Barbara remembers years ago a man with dementia who used to repeat again and again that he was waiting for a box of oranges to be delivered. “It turned out he used to own a grocery storey so in his mind, waiting for the oranges to arrive was a reality. If you were to take him to a grocery store, that memory would become meaningful again.”

The value of “ reminiscing therapy is restoring something that they had lost by triggering a memory. You might only have engaged them for two minutes but you have touched a chord.”

“The idea with diversional therapy is to look at the life story of residents, get to know their life history and create a personal programme for them.” Often people with dementia have lost their short term memory but retain some of their long term memories, she says. “The value of reminiscing therapy is restoring something that they had lost by triggering a memory. You might only have engaged them for two minutes but you have touched a chord.”

Many people don’t know that a constant companion for many people with dementia is depression, and the reminiscing can bring some respite from that, Barbara says. “People with dementia lose the ability to socialise and communicate. With reminiscing therapy you are trying to reach inside and trigger a conversation, o˜ er stimulation and a purpose in life to get up and socialise.” The videos Barbara made for the various therapies being introduced to Lyndale has just won ÿ rst prize in the Music and Rhythm section at the NZ Society of Diversionists and Recreation Therapy Conference in Auckland.

Efforts to save shore plovers Dear friends, It has come to our attention that one of our most prized birds is not receiving its dues and so we thought we would take this moment to sing its praises from Rangi to Papa. Introducing tuturuatu, also known as shore plover. This beautiful, docile bird is found only in New Zealand and once lived along all of our coastlines. Today, sadly, it is found in just a handful of predator-free island sanctuaries. We have been breeding tuturautu for release since 1981 and today this is one of our most successful programmes. Our rangers Mireille and Ali love the tuturuatu while Katie, one of our volunteers, say they are her favourite birds. These are some of the rarest birds in the world, with only around 200 left. Males have a black face mask while the females are more of a dark brown. Their call is quite similar to the oystercatcher but when they get scared, they make very high-pitched squeaks. Tuturuatu have had a hard time against

introduced predators because they build their nests on the ground. Rats and stoats are partly to blame, but so are black-backed gulls and morepork. This year, Pukaha released 21 tuturuatu onto Motutapu Island in the Hauraki Gulf. The birds we have at Pukaha are now taking a well-deserved break in our aviaries before the breeding season starts again. You won’t see them at Pukaha because they aren’t on display. Being such nervous birds, they like to be left alone to do their shore plover thing without people watching. Our rangers know all

about the work going on behind the scenes, so if you have any questions, just give us a call or ask them when you visit. Nga mihi and speak soon, The Pukaha Rangers Contributed by Helen Cordery • The Wairarapa Midweek has partnered with Pukaha National Wildlife Centre to put a spotlight on wildlife conservation eﬀorts locally and allow readers to get up close and personal with New Zealand’s amazing native species.

In the summer of 2016, a plague of swarming black covered willow trees across the Wairarapa, coating everything in a sweet sticky form of honey dew. From a distance it might have been mistaken for soot or mould, but the swarm was in fact a species of giant willow aphids (tuberolachnus salignus), whose population had exploded in the favourable conditions of a hot, dry summer. The aphids caused a range of environmental issues, including damaging willows, polluting waterways, and impacting bees’ production of honey. Three years on the aphids are still a problem across much of the country, though numbers haven’t quite reached the same plague-like conditions again. The New Zealand Crown Research Institute Scion hopes to control and eradicate this pest aphid species through the introduction of a small parasitic wasp [pauesia nigrovaria]. They’ve applied to the Environmental Protection Authority [EPA] to release the wasp species, which targets giant willow aphids to lay their eggs – as the eggs hatch, the aphid is eaten from the inside. It’s hoped the introduction of the wasp will reduce and potentially eradicate giant willow aphids while posing no threat to native aphid species or other insects. It’s a solution which has some in the Wairarapa

beekeeping and farming industries feeling optimistic. Longbush Valley farmer, Hamish Rogers, saw first-hand the damage the invasive aphid species caused on local waterways. He said an infestation of giant willow aphids secreting honeydew into a stream had contributed to the death of more than 40 eels on his farm. “We’ve had the willow aphids every year since but nothing like that year,” he said. He said there was usually a spike in the aphid population around January and February, due to a combination of hot dry summer conditions and the sheer number of willow trees across the region. Low water flows during the summer season meant the honeydew produced by the aphids was more potent and he believed this had contributed to the eel deaths. “[The water] becomes anaerobic. All the oxygen goes out.” He said the honeydew had also impacted the palatability of grass for stock, who wouldn’t graze in areas where the

honeydew was prevalent. “I don’t hold the aphids solely accountable, but they were definitely a contribution to the degradation of water quality in the stream. “The problem is the willows. They are everywhere. “Willows and aphids go together hand in hand.” Since 2016, he’s removed all of the willow trees from the stream which runs across his property and formed a water catchment group to help protect the water quality. “There’s great work being down to fix water quality. “Down where we are, I’ve got rid of all the willows.” He said he was also hopeful that the wasp would help reduce the aphid population. “I’d love to see the wasp as something in the armoury that helps.” His only concern would be if it impacted on other beneficial insects, but he felt it was a better option than “spray bombing” affected areas which might hurt beneficial insects. The EPA are considering the application but have also asked for submitters to have their say. The submissions process will close at 5pm on September 17 with a decision about the application to be made in December. • More information about the application and submissions process can be found online at: epa.govt.nz/ public-consultations/ open-consultations/ small-wasp-to-tacklegiant-willow-aphid/

Goalie stars in Waicol triumph HOCKEY

Sport

Chris Cogdale Wairarapa College’s determined defence of their goal line paid dividends as they went on to beat Wellington College in a shootout in the final of the Wellington secondary schools boys’ Premier competition. Waicol goalkeeper William Brown had to bring all his skills into play when the final went to a shootout after neither side could score in extra-time. Brown continued his recent good form in shootouts and has an 80 per cent save record, having conceded only two goals in the two shootouts in the semifinal and then the final. Both teams missed their first two attempts before Wellington broke the deadlock on their third attempt. Waicol missed their third, then Wellington missed their fourth. Perry Lewis got Waicol on the board before Wellington missed their fifth attempt, and Craig Pankhurst stepped up to slot home the winning goal.

Waicol celebrate their championship victory.

Until that point, Waicol’s defence helped them stay in the game. In a tense final on Friday night, chances were at a premium, and the scores were locked 0-0 at fulltime. The game went into extra-time and both teams had to drop two players to the sideline and restart with nine players each. If that wasn’t a big enough hurdle, Waicol were reduced to eight players towards the end of the first period of extratime, with a player sent to the sinbin. The second period of extra period saw the teams drop another two players, meaning Waicol had to play with six players for

all but one minute of the period. A massive defensive effort saw extra-time finish scoreless which sent the game into the shootout. Rathkeale finished third in the boys’ premier division with a 2-1 win over Paraparaumu College. In the premier girls’ final, St Matthew’s were no match for Wellington Girls’ College going down 5-0. Wellington Girls were in control from the start and scored an early goal. Although St Matthew’s pushed hard, they could not penetrate the stubborn Wellington Girls’ defence. Waicol were third in the girls’ premier division after a 4-0 win over Tawa College.

Confident Bush stun Wanganui RUGBY WAIRARAPA-BUSH WANGANUI Chris Cogdale

28 18

Are Wairarapa-Bush the real deal this season? Going by Saturday’s stunning 28-18 victory at Memorial Park over six-time Meads Cup champions Wanganui, they certainly have the talent and confidence to be major players in this year’s championship. This was no flash-in-thepan lucky win. This was a victory built on hard graft from a neversay-die tight five, fierce tackling around the fringes led by the superb No. 7 Johan van Vliet, and solid backline defence. It was all capped off with two brilliant moments on attack. The first of those came after three minutes when

first-five Tipi Haira burst through the midfield and fed left winger Tristan Flutey who pushed off a defender to score handy to the posts. The second came about halfway through the second half and proved to be the defining moment in the game. With Wai-Bush holding an 18-15 lead, fullback Inia Katia created space out wide and flicked a pass to debutant winger Logan Hebenton-Prendeville. The 18-year-old started a 45m jinking run brushing off several defenders before gassing it to score under the posts. He celebrated with a somersault. Earlier, prop Sam Tufuga crashed over from a 5m lineout drive to give the home side a 12-3 lead after 22 minutes. Wanganui hooker Roman Tutaha scored an unconverted try from a

driving maul only for Haira to reply with a penalty for a 15-8 halftime lead. The second half could not have started any worse for Wai-Bush. A wayward throw-in at a 5m lineout from was swept on by halfback Lindsay Horrocks who dived over for a soft try, and the scores were tied at 15-15. A Haira penalty followed by Hebenton-Prendeville’s moment of glory restored Wai-Bush’s 10-point lead with 20 minutes to play. Dane Whale gave Wanganui some hope of a late revival with a penalty after 72 minutes but Haira replied with another with two minutes on the clock. Wanganui dominated possession for long periods of the game but their progress around the edges was blocked by solid defence. Van Vliet made a mountain of tackles and

Johan van Vliet The outstanding open side flanker reckoned it was a great feeling to be back in the green and red again. “I’ve missed it the last five years. There’s a great bunch of boys this year, we’re all homegrown and it’s a great culture we’re building here. “I’m looking forward to a good season ahead after a great victory like that.” Logan Hebenton-Prendeville On his match-winning try: “I was just trying something out. I wasn’t really involved at the start but to come back with that, it was awesome. “I wasn’t thinking – I was just going. I just pictured something and it happened.” And on his first game in the green and red? “I put it down to the forwards, eh, a lot of hard work and we couldn’t have done it without them so, I’m pretty proud to be playing for the Bush.” Captain James Goodger “We’ve certainly got the talent and it was just a matter of bringing it on game day, which we did.” “I’ve been part of the Bush for a long time now and we haven’t had a vibe like this for a while and I’ve just got so much passion and am really confident in our boys. “I’ve played for Bush for nine years and haven’t beaten Wanganui once, so I’m just really proud, really stoked. It sets it up for the season.” Try scorer Tristan Flutey fending off a Wanganui defender PHOTO/JADE CVETKOV

was always a nuisance at the breakdown, forcing several turnovers. Not far behind were fellow loosies Joe Tako and No.8 Kirk Tufuga, who were also damaging runners with ball in hand. The well-organised midﬁeld defence of Ueta Tufuga and Robbie Anderson gave their opponents few gaps to exploit. The home side were the more dangerous with ball in hand. Haira controlled play well and his darting runs caused problems for Wanganui. Fullback Inia Katia was a general nuisance to the opposition with his quick taps and unpredictability. But this wasn’t about individuals, this was an outstanding team eﬀort and a message to the other Heartland teams that the green and reds are serious

contenders. With the win, WairarapaBush captured the Bruce Steel Memorial Cup that is contested in games played between WairarapaBush, Wanganui, and Horowhenua-Kapiti — for the ﬁrst time in many years.
