The Milky Way as seen from Gladstone. PHOTO/ALEX BEACH

Shooting for the stars BY GERALD FORD A Gladstone teenager took his amateur photography to new heights last week with a stunning photo of the Wairarapa night sky. Alex Beach, 15, has been taking photographs for about three years, having become curious early on about what made his father’s camera tick. “I kind of just worked it out for myself, I wanted to learn all about it.”

Alex has attended a few photography tutorials, but is mostly self-taught. He has taken several groups of outdoors photos for clients of his father, who leads rafting excursions and guided ﬁshing tours. However last week’s experiment, “was actually the ﬁrst night photograph I took”, Alex said. He was therefore well pleased

with the result, which required some preparation. “I planned it for two days.” A computer application called Stellarium allowed him to track the location of the Milky Way, and he decided the best time for a photo would be 2am. Alex chose the early morning of Wednesday 21, which was actually the day of the winter solstice (although

the longest night began at sunset later that day. “I took it this day because there was a very clear sky,” Alex said. “I live out in Gladstone so the light pollution from Masterton didn’t aﬀect the photo.”

Men’s yarns need work Ford Every Stream

Gerald Ford June is apparently men’s health month. I wouldn’t be surprised if you hadn’t heard of it, because neither had I, and now it seems there is only a day or two left, for me to think meaningful male thoughts about wellness. As part of the Too Many campaign (page 22), Wairarapa DHB has taken advantage of the lunar labelling to plug a program called Good Yarn, empowering rural people to monitor their own and each other’s mental health. Supported by the usual industry bodies, including happily a couple of women’s groups, the workshops target farmers and make a good fit with men’s health. As one participant has said of these workshops, they’ve encouraged him to give an honest answer when asked “How are you?”, and to then return the question, which encourages similar replies. This is a good start. The Kiwi bloke mentality is evolving, I think, but it doesn’t hurt to take a look now and again at what still needs to change. I’ve lost count of the number of people my generation and older who claim to have been educated in the “school of hard knocks”. If you think about it, for this to be perpetuated, someone needs to be doing the knocking. In fact, a whole culture of

“mentoring through cruelty” has to be maintained – and like it or not, this is a part of our Kiwi cultural baggage. You can see it in the tricks played on the newbie – like sending him out for a left-handed screwdriver or a skyhook, or in my case to the storeroom to ask for a “long weight” (long wait). Yes, I fell for it. This is pretty harmless, of course, but there are times it goes too far. There is a fine line between good-natured ribbing and bullying, and not everyone knows where it is. The newbie often has to persevere to find his unique place, and it takes a strong character at times to refuse to play the “pecking order” game by diverting attention to another victim. I read of a car mechanic apprentice in Berkshire, UK, whose workplace treatment allegedly included being set on fire and tied up and hosed down with a pressure washer, among insensitive comments about his mental health. It came out in the inquest of his suicide. I don’t know many, if any, men who would condone this sort of stuff, but it is the inevitable extreme when we insist that “being able to take a joke” is one of the cardinal male virtues. With a little more honesty about our own weaknesses, and a lot more kindness when we see our fellow man going through a hard time, maybe we can see fewer of these bad yarns and more of the good. • For a list of helplines, see page 22 FOR NEWS Editor Gerald Ford (06) 370 0925 gerald.ford@age.co.nz

Kuranui Year 10 students’ mufti day collection for the Featherston Foodbank.

Banking on civvies On Thursday, June 14, Kuranui College held a mufti day with a difference. Instead of donating the usual gold coin, students were asked to bring in a can or an item of nonperishable food for the Featherston Foodbank. The fundraiser was devised by a group of college friends as part of a recent leadership course. The nine students came together for the annual three-day YMCA Leadership Camp, which took place earlier this year at Camp Kaitoke. “Me and a few of my friends

are Year 10 student leaders and we thought we’d give the camp a go as we wanted to develop our leadership skills. We also thought it’d be great to get our friends to come along as well,” explained student leader Abby Saywell. The students have to complete a project to demonstrate and utilise their new leadership skills and the group felt that helping their local community was a top priority. “We were originally going to do a quiz night, but we thought it might be easier to do a mufti day instead. “We wanted to raise funds for

the Foodbank because we wanted to help out our community and the Foodbank distributes food across the whole of South Wairarapa.” With over 28 mentor classes at the college donating almost 15 cans each, the group estimate they have been able to provide over 400 cans of food. “It’s been good to give back to the community,” added Abby. The Year 10 leadership group also includes Isabella Walker, Isla Alexander, Bella Herbert, Henry Isaacs, Connor Turton, Willy Dennison and Eddina Doherty.

Push for new voters

Wairarapa Midweek

BY DON FARMER

A drive to boost Wairarapa voter turnout for the September general election begins in earnest today with particular emphasis on Pacifica, Maori and young voters. The electorate’s new returning officer Chris Giles is joining forces with the registrar of electors Philip Parkes in an effort to enrol as many voters as possible and to give them ample opportunity to cast their votes. Mr Giles said it is “all about turnout” as the trend on Wairarapa as elsewhere has been “all the wrong way for the last 30 years.” This was especially true of young voters, he said. Mr Giles, who has a background in telecommunications, now lives in Carterton where he has a business. He will join with Mr Parkes, Wairarapa’s registrar of electors for the past 17 years, and part of the strategy this year is making advance voting places available in all towns. Masterton is to have two, including a pop-up voting place and Martinborough, Featherston, Greytown, Carterton, Pahiatua, Woodville, Dannevirke and Waipukurau will each have one. It is hoped the convenience of having the advance voting places easily accessible may encourage younger voters to exercise their rights rather than not bother. Advance votes are kept strictly under wraps until on election day when counting starts about 10am by staff under lock down

until the close of business. Nationwide over three million packs will be sent out this week as the Electoral Commission launches its campaign to enrol voters for the election. The personalised enrolment update packs are being sent to all enrolled voters and will arrive in letterboxes over the next few days. The pack includes a form setting out the voter’s present enrolment details with space to record any changes. Chief Electoral Oﬃcer Alicia Wright said “look out for the envelope with Orange Guy on the front”. “Open it and check the details – if

they’re correct, it means you don’t need to do anything more and you’re all set to vote in this year’s election. “If you need to update any of your details, especially if you’ve changed your name or address, ﬁll out the form, sign it, and send it back in the return envelope,” she said. Ms Wright said only correctly enrolled voters will be able to vote. “So it’s important to get your enrolment sorted out now.” If voters don’t receive a letter by Friday, it means they are not enrolled or need to update their details.

SPCA helps out

The SPCA mobile clinic.

Carolyn Gates, a veterinarian and a lecturer at Massey University, volunteered her time last week at the SPCA’s mobile clinic, parked up for the next few weeks in Masterton Town Square.

PHOTOS/GERALD FORD

A desexing clinic parked up in Masterton Town Square has been busy preventing unwanted births of kittens, puppies, and even baby rabbits. Nick Taylor, community engagement manager for SPCA in Wairarapa, said the mobile clinic caravan has been kept busy with mostly cats, but noted there are a lot of dogs being booked in. We are doing rabbits as well, we’ve already done a couple.” Mr Taylor said the surgeries are

expensive, normally costing from $80 to $500, depending on the size and sex of the animal, and while the service is oﬀered freely, “any donation that comes in means we can do the next animal”. “If they’re not born they can’t be mistreated or neglected or unwanted. Adoptions are good, but they don’t change things,” Mr Taylor Said. Surgeries can be booked by email desexyourpet@wellingtonspca.org.nz.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Alex co-opted his grandfather, 76, who is staying with the family, to help with the planning and execution of the photo. He used a Nikon D3100 camera with the ISO setting of 1600, the aperture at 3.5mm (set to let in maximum light), a focal length of 18mm, and with a shutter speed of 15 to 20 seconds. Alex is planning to study photography at school next year. He is interested in moving into professional photography, such as wedding photography, and videography. He is currently saving for a drone.

Taking the shot (Alex’s notes)

The night before I took the photo, when it was still light I focused the camera onto the sky (where the stars would be later) and put some wood down on the ground where I would set the tripod. I positioned the camera how I would like it and brought it inside without touching the position. I woke up in the morning and brought out a torch with me. I took the photo while standing on a stile holding a torch pointed to the sky. After taking 12 individual shots, I returned inside to put the pictures on my computer. I then picked my favourite and put the image in Adobe Light room. In the software, I did subtle changes such as increasing exposure, whites and contrast in the photo and also decreased blacks and sharpness. These where just little minor adjustments which brought the stars to life without messing with the original photo.

Bach still collapsing BY HAYLEY GASTMEIER

A South Wairarapa beach is once again strewn with debris. Room by room, a Te Kopi bach has been collapsing to the beach below. Wave action has pounded the Cape Palliser Rd site and erosion has so far claimed two of the three linked structures originally hit. The coastline has been corroding for many years, with entire baches swallowed up by nature in the past. Last Wednesday, Cape Palliser Rd was once again battered by high ocean swells. The week before, a trailer and vehicle at Ngawi were buried by shingle following slips and 22 mm of rain that fell within an hour. Featherston resident Reiner Schoenbrunn, who pays regular visits to the coast, said the wild weather may have contributed to the recent loss of the Te Kopi bach. “Erosion may eventually get rid of them, it’s just a shame that everything gets washed away into the ocean.” Mr Schoenbrunn said someone should be held responsible for cleaning up the

mess left on the beach. But after many failed attempts to have the shoreline cleared up, he is resigned to the fact that the debris will most likely be just left where it is. He has contacted South Wairarapa District Council (SWDC) many time with his concerns for the environment, and on one occasion even took matters into his own hands, collecting up and disposing of roofing iron and timber from smashed baches, as well as dumped vehicle tyres. The council has attempted to remedy the issue of the rickety baches, writing to landownersrequesting they either demolish or remove the structures, which were deemed dangerous under the Building Act. SWDC planning and environment group manager Murray Buchanan said the Te Kopi bach was in multiple Maori ownership, and its trustees “continue to ignore the notice issued to them by Council under the Building Act to remove structures still on the land”. Mr Buchanan said once a structure collapsed onto the beach it was no longer under SWDC jurisdiction, and fell into the

hands of Department of Conservation and Greater Wellington Regional Council. Mr Schoenbrunn said the baches were not only ruining the Kiwi clean, green image, but they were also a hazard. He said on his visit to Te Kopi last

Sunday, he saw no signage warning people away from the bach. Mr Buchanan confirmed the council had erected a warning sign on land, but he could not confirm whether it was still there.

Students taste technology and innovation BY GERALD FORD Around 60 secondary school students on Friday got a peek inside Wairarapa’s innovation industries in a careers day. The Innovative Industries Big Day Out was run by Careers New Zealand in collaboration with YETE (Youth Education Training & Employment) Partnership Wairarapa, Ucol and Fab Lab in Masterton. Year 11 students from six schools visited several employers and educators to understand career opportunities and how they use innovation in their industry. The goal of these days is “to bridge the gap between today’s young people and the needs of employers”, Careers New Zealand Career Development Consultant Liz Gray said. Our focus on innovation is about promoting learning and opportunities within Wairarapa’s Information Technology, Engineering and Design, and Digital Fabrication industries.” At Masterweave, owner Lindsay Cairns spoke to the students about working on materials for the Lord of the Rings movies, in alpaca, mohair and wool. For every item “we had to make every item was made in two scales” because of the different-sized characters in the movies. Mr Cairns showed how the looms blended different natural colours of fibre

Now the much heralded ‘work-life balance’ is a load of cods wallop. Do you live to work or work to live? For me, I like to have a mix of personal aspirations and business task orientated goals. After all, Real Estate Sales is a lifestyle. By telling you what it’s not will give you insight to what it is.

Buying and selling property is ranked amongst the most stressful events in a person’s life (...and I do this on a daily basis?!). It’s hardly something we look forward to! If selling your property is in your future, near or far, ask me how and how to make it stress free.

Yes, the sole purpose of being a Real Estate Salesperson is to sell property. I’m ecstatic when I achieve a win-win for everybody to get a SOLD sticker put up. But what drives me day to day and often moment to moment is the heart and soul of selling and that is to connect with people.

It’s of no cost to you to ask me how I can best help you, but it could cost you thousands if you don’t.

Maria McKenzie, UCOL’s campus manager – Wairarapa said students visiting Ucol would give students will visit UCOL’s Masterton Campus where they will get a hands-on look at how they can bring innovation into their careers. “Our world is rapidly changing and new and innovative methods of solving problems is required to meet the needs of today’s work market,” said Ms McKenzie said. Co-founder and project director at Fab Lab Masterton Kristen Browne said 3D printers and laser cutting technology would keep the students busy as they delve into digital fabrication. “We’re excited to show our school community how they can contribute to innovation from a local or global level with technology available right here today.” Wairarapa YETE Project Lead Josie Whaanga said she hoped the day would help inform subject selection at Year 12 and beyond. “We want school leavers to see that there are multiple pathways into the exciting innovative industries. “Today’s goal is to demonstrate local employment opportunities and link local schools, employers and industry to grow tomorrow’s talent,” said Josie.

Queuing up for road rage It’s Only Me

Graeme Burnard

I am not a violent man. I have never been in a fight. I have never even raised my fists to anyone. However, that might change if road rage is ever legalised. I will be first in the queue to book some. I have recently started a new job as a medical courier, and drive around 420km a day. I am on the road five days a week from 9am until 5.30pm and my goodness me, do I see some bad driving. I am not talking about every third or fourth car that has a driver on their mobile phone. I am not talking about women applying makeup whilst driving one handed. I am not talking about people driving with pets on their knees (where do they think the dog will end up if the airbag is ever released?) My big gripe is slow drivers. I don’t mind people driving slowly, that’s their perfect right but I do mind very much when the selfish sods do not pull over and allow people to pass. And it is not just Nana and Grandad

taking the thermos and a cut lunch out for a spin in the country. Slow drivers are not gender or agebased. I am astounded how many people crawl along, either simply oblivious to what is going on behind them or just plain rude and ignorant. Even today, I got caught behind someone between Masterton and Carterton doing 60kmh in a 100kmh zone. I was car number eight, and when we went around the Clareville bend I counted 20 cars behind me. The worst I have seen is a tractor with 58 cars behind it. I could see there were numerous opportunities for Mr farmer to have moved over but he had his head phones on and was not interested in what was going on behind him. And where are the cops when this happens? Funny how the moment your speed inches over the limit, flashing lights appear in every direction but when there is a queue a mile long, not a cop in sight. I got a speeding ticket the other day for being 6kmh over the limit. How about getting some tickets written for people being 40kmh under the limit? In saying that, I did read earlier this year about an elderly man up north somewhere who got stopped by the cops. He was doing 26kmh and had 80 cars behind him. When he was asked why he was driving so slow he said he was enjoying the scenery!

Last week I was graced with the chore of cleaning out my primary school aged sisters’ lunchboxes. I was surprised by the amount of half eaten food and rubbish at the bottom. I later found out the reason why. My sisters’ school, like many others, has adopted a policy whereby students are banned from disposing of their rubbish at school. Instead they’re expected to cart home their empty yoghurt pots and muesli bar wrappers. Notices and newsletters about the rule change have cited the reason for change as “to discourage children from bringing rubbish to school”. I feel that this rule change hasn’t fulfilled its intended cause. Banning the disposal of rubbish at school does nothing to stop the rubbish from being made. The rubbish is still being thrown away, just in a different place. Ignoring the problem isn’t going to make it go away. Although being environmentally conscious is important, there is always going to be some waste like pencil shavings and snotty tissues. And revoking rubbish bins is not only annoying, it’s unhygienic too. There are

alternate solutions that would have a greater impact than the current system. Among my own family and friends with primary age children, the new rule has failed to change their lunch habits as rubbish free lunches are costly and time consuming to make. A more realistic solution would be to ask parents to minimise rubbish rather than eradicate it. Children love games and competition. If schools were to gamify the rubbish process they might be able to better capture their target audience. Schools could set an amount of rubbish for the week, collect the rubbish of the students, with the exception of things like yogurt pots and fruit skins, measure it, and reward the students if they keep the amount of rubbish under the set amount. No one likes being forced to do something. If I was a parent I would be more likely to put more effort into eradicating the rubbish if I had been asked to by my child as opposed to by a school notice. The message being promoted by this initiative is a great one but the way in which it’s being done just isn’t optimal.

Learning delights Squeals of delight and whoops of cheers resonated from the Queen Elizabeth Park lake recently when a party of college students took to the water in pedal boats. The students, all with intellectual disabilities, were from Wairarapa College and Tararua College. The afternoon on the water was organised by Wairarapa STARS Trust (Support Transition Related Services) as part of its “Friday Programme”. STARS’ transition consultant Ruth Whittaker, says the aim of the programme is to give students “life experiences” outside of the classroom. Some of the activities this year include: going for walks, tenpin bowling, table tennis, rock ’n’ roll at Club Wairarapa, line dancing, a train excursion, museum visits, alpaca farm, golf driving range, mini golf and a mushroom farm. “We try to do things where the students can mix and communicate with other people, and just experience a whole lot of life stuff,” Ruth says. The Friday Programme is open to all secondary school students in Wairarapa, from 16-21 years of age. Wairarapa College’s head of department of the Supported Learning Centre, Amanda Kawana, says the students always really look forward to Friday. “The pedal boats are so much fun . . . putting on a hat, getting in amongst the swans and ducks, they just loved it,” Amanda says. Ruth said while still at school the students are in a safe holding period, but when they leave face big challenges. “It can very quickly become really hard, not just for them, but also for their parents and caregivers.” As well as the Friday Programme, Ruth

also works one-on-one with students to help find them work experience opportunities. She says there is a tremendous amount of employers who are very supportive. “Obviously there are health and safety considerations, but we hardly ever get turned down.” Last year, Sheldon Betteridge, who lives with autism, managed to get work experience at ArrowFM. Now he hosts his own radio show and

also works one day a week at second-hand dealer Percy’s Mart. In addition to supporting school leavers through its transition service, STARS Trust also finds work opportunities for adults who have a disability.

GARDEN

YARN DOUG’S TIPS Continue successional plantings of cabbage, cauli˛ ower, spinach, silverbeet for late winter / early spring cropping. The ÿ rst of the new season’s roses have arrived. Remember good soil preparation is the key to healthy roses. Dig in plenty of compost and a measure of slow release plant food around the roots of each plant. This is a good month to shift any shrubs or small trees which you think are growing in the wrong place. Prune back ÿ rst to keep top growth in proportion to the root ball. Firm in well in the new position and stake as necessary. Roses and hydrangeas can be pruned now. Our lily bulbs have arrived for summer ˛ owers. We have a fantastic range and recommend you get yours early before they disappear. Lift and divide older rhubarb crowns while the plants are dormant. Harvest and store any remaining pumpkins.

I love all the seasons, and I even love winter. What I especially enjoy about winter is spotting passer-by’s in the street wearing funny winter hats. The other day, I saw a middle-aged gentleman walking his rather large dog, wearing a pink and mint green striped hat with a large glittery pom-pom bobbing about on the top.

The above refers to planting in the garden from seedlings, bulbs or tubers. If sowing from seed, allow about a month for seedlings to appear and reach a growth stage equivalent to the ready-bought seedling.

But I’m not here to talk about funny hats. I’m here to talk about a very important winter layer that you can put on your trees. This is called Lime Sulphur. Lime sulphur controls a wide range of fungal diseases and pests on fruit trees, grapes, roses and ornamentals. Winter is an ideal time to spray as it helps break the disease cycle and prevents many diseases. It is also useful at burning o˜ any stubborn old leaves that haven’t dropped. Lime sulphur has low toxicity and has no withholding period. So what is also so good about it? One of the main problems of growing plums, peaches and nectarine trees, is leaf curl. Every year, when going on my regular stroll around the neighbourhood, I can’t help but notice many deformed and very sick looking leaves on trees. This is leaf curl and it should have been sprayed when the tree was dormant. Leaf curl is a fungal disease which over-winters in the crevices of the tree bark and around the buds, and has spores in old leaves lying on

the ground under the tree.

Lime sulphur is also handy for cleaning up infestations of red mites. These tiny sap-sucking pinkish-red mites cluster on the underside of leaves often producing ÿ ne webbing and live in the crevices of the trunk and branches. Spraying the tree in winter with lime sulphur will help clean them and their eggs out, plus a host of other un-wantables lurking beneath the skin of your tree. When spraying with lime sulphur, spray the whole tree from top to bottom. This may sound daft, but when I’m spraying my trees, I imagine that these nasty little pests and fungus spores have faces and are poking their tongues out at me and saying ‘ha, ha, you can’t get me!’, so I make sure that the spray is heavy enough to run into all the crevices, cracks and other hiding places of the tree. I also spray around the tree where leaves have dropped. Just be careful if spraying near evergreen plants as lime sulphur will cause your plants to defoliate. The application of lime sulphur also helps to control another enemy of the tree lichen! Lichen on tree bark is completely harmless to the tree itself. However, lichen does harbor all the aforementioned nasties which are guaranteed to come back to haunt gardeners later. The rhizines (similar to roots) allow them to attach itself to

the bark, but do not go deep enough to harm the tree in any way. Many people believe when a tree becomes sick and has lichen, that the lichen is the cause of the illness. This is impossible and most likely the lichen was there long before the tree became ill. While lichen on a tree is harmless in itself, most gardeners think it is not very pretty to look at and would like to learn how to kill tree lichen. One way is to gently scrub the bark of the tree with a soapy solution. Since lichen on tree bark is only lightly attached, it should come o˜ easily. Be careful not to scrub too hard, as this can damage the bark of the tree which will open the tree to disease or pests. Perhaps the best treatment for tree lichen is to change the environment where the tree lichen is growing. Lichen on trees grows best in cool, partly sunny, moist locations. Thinning out tree branches overhead to allow more sun and air ˛ ow will help. Also, if you use a sprinkler system, make sure that it does not routinely spray the place where the lichen is growing, as you are essentially “watering” the tree lichen and helping it to survive. Well, it was nice to catch up again. The aroma of Daphne’s spicy lentil soup brewing on the stove is luring me to the kitchen.

10 Wairarapa Midweek

Young men in training A physical trainer working with a group of Wairarapa boys and young men says they are learning to lead, by first learning to follow. Rihari Daymond, a Tararua College teacher and mau rakau (Maori martial arts) instructor has been working in a leadership programme with more than 50 boys, aged 9 to 17, from 15 Wairarapa schools. The training is part of Nga Tama Toa, a leadership programme supported by Wairarapa REAP and Masterton Trust Lands Trust.

We’re seeing them build confidence and self-esteem, and they’re learning more about and understanding their culture. It involves drilling and sparring with a taiaha, or staff, and Mr Daymond says the work is ideal for improving their leadership skills, as the discipline teaches the importance of teamwork and cooperation. “To be a leader, you have to be a follower,” Rihari said. “With mau rakau, you have opportunities to lead and to follow - but a big part of your training is that you have to listen carefully, you have to follow the calls and instructions during the drills, you have to be aware of your space and what’s going on around you. “You have to be aware of other people. If you see someone struggling, you help

them out - because a team is only as strong as its weakest member. “Being a good leader is about looking out for others.” The boys were chosen for by their schools for their leadership potential, for being positive role models, and for showing pride in who they are. Nga Tama Toa (meaning “strong boys” or “strong sons”) began in April with a two-day camp at Waimanaaki at Riversdale Beach including discussions on goal-setting, and has continued with a workshop at Masterton Intermediate. Mau rakau is now taught in secondary

schools as an NCEA subject. Mr Daymond said he has seen “a real shift” in his students’ confidence while training. “Mau rakau is great for their physical fitness, but it goes beyond that,” he said. “We’re seeing them build confidence and self-esteem, and they’re learning more about and understanding their culture.” Mr Daymond is also a member of Te Whare Tu Taua o Aotearoa, a mau rakau training programme founded by Dr Pita Sharples in 1983, during a renaissance of te reo and tikanga Maori.

Spreading the word

A groundspreading organisation is hosting an industry conference in Napier next month. The New Zealand Groundspread Fertilisers’ Association (NZGFA) will be highlighting the importance of good business acumen at its annual conference next month from July 9 to 11, in Napier. Titled ‘Spreading for Profit – make a buck using a spreader truck’, the event will focus mainly on business sustainability and revenue generation. Delegates will also learn about legal changes for heavy vehicles, and hear top tips specifically for the groundspreading industry. Brent Scully, President of the NZGFA, says, “Running a business is a major investment of both time and money. “Many of our groundspreaders are owner/operators and while we know they are highly skilled at their profession, we want to ensure that they have all the information they need to run their businesses not only well, but also profitably.” More than 150 delegates from across the groundspreading industry are due to attend the event, which runs from and which includes a field trip to Ravensdown’s Awatoto plant. The conference will be opened by Mayor of Hastings Lawrence Yule. Around eight brand-new, state-of-theart spreader trucks, showcasing the latest hi-tech spreading systems, will be on display along the beachfront behind the conference centre. Registrations forms for the conference are still available via Heather Smith at smithspread@xtra.co.nz or www. groundspreaders.co.nz.

Advertorial

Featherston residents Penny and Howie Griffin watch as their new home is placed on the Featherston Heights section PHOTO/SUPPLIED

First fruits for Featherston BY BECKIE WILSON

Featherston continues to pique the interest of buyers seeking a new lifestyle or property investment, with the first house moving on to a new subdivision on Monday last week. The latest house arrival is the start of “positive economic impact” to the town, real estate agent Hugo Manson said. The Featherston Heights subdivision, at the top of Johnston St, welcomed its first home on Monday. The home at number four was prebuilt in Palmerston North, and has now been dropped off ready to be hooked up to services. The subdivision is marketed by Tall Poppy real estate, and the arrival of the house marks the end of months of work by the developer organising the survey, engineering requirements and consents. Over the next few months, new housing will appear on all the surrounding sections, with properties varying in size from 800msq to over 4000 msq. Featherston Heights has had to compete with the handful of other residential subdivisions in the town, including McKerrow Place, Birdwood St subdivision and another on Johnston St. Mr Manson sees the development as a big plus for the “burgeoning” South Wairarapa district.

“Featherston is increasingly a place full of energy and innovation… [and] Featherston Heights will be a strong expression of that,” he said. “Number four Featherston Heights [arrived] in the dawning hours symbolically that is good time as the new community moves off the drawing board and into reality.” The new subdivisions are increasing the opportunities for buyers waiting to snap up vacant land, according to valuers and agents. Quotable Value registered valuer David Cornford said land in Featherston was hard to move two years ago, “but the market is definitely better.” Mr Cornford said it has become financially feasible for developers to take on subdivisions as the demand for land is stronger. Subdivisions costs include legal fees, surveying and construction, and roading infrastructure, but Mr Cornford said the “demand for vacant land has pushed the prices up which has made developments more feasible”. “And they are selling more readily than they used to be.” McKerrow Place subdivision has 10 sections varying in size between 557sqm and 914sqm, and priced between $110,000 and $130,000.

International olive oil expert in Wairarapa to help with this year’s harvest International olive oil expert in Wairarapa to help with this year’s harvest.

technology is only very recent and still developing.

In a first for New Zealand, The Olive Press in Greytown has brought one of the world’s leading olive oil experts to the Wairarapa for this year’s harvest.

That’s not the only interesting fact one learns from Pablo. Unlike wine, olive oil is best used when fresh. Extra virgin olive oil is the best to buy as it is defect free defects not only affect the taste but also the nutritional value.

Pablo Voitzuk is in New Zealand for three weeks, overseeing the pressing of the olives and meeting with growers when they bring their harvest in to the factory at the south entrance to Greytown. The Olive Press Managing Director Bruce McCallum says as far as he knows Pablo is the first overseas professional to come to these shores. “The Olive Press has been going for 17 years and the olive oil we produce is already of a very high quality. Pablo will lift the bar even higher and has already introduced new practices.” “He is imparting his knowledge to our team and also having one-on-one time with the growers so they have a better understanding of what they can do before the fruit arrives here for pressing to improve the quality of their oil.” Pablo grew up in Buenos Aires and ran his own award-winning tango-influenced record label before becoming involved, by chance, in olive oil production in the Sierra foothills of California in the early 2000s. Dr Marco Mugelli, one of the leading olive oil experts in the world, was visiting from Italy and noted his talent, inviting Pablo to study with him in Tuscany. After Dr Mugelli died suddenly, Pablo studied with another expert, Pierpaolo Arca, in Sardinia. Today Pablo is a member of the California Olive Oil Council tasting panel and a judge at international olive oil competitions in the United States, Italy, and Japan. Surprisingly, even though olives have been grown and harvested for thousands of years, olive oil knowledge and

Pablo says wine is “a couple of generations ahead of us. Millions of people go to the supermarket and if a wine is not good they can recognise that. How many go to the supermarket and realise when there is a problem with the olive oil - just a few.” Pablo describes olive oil as “a super food”, rich in anti-oxidants that can reduce the risk of certain types of cancer, arthritis, diabetes and other illnesses. Most importantly, its anti-oxidants are fat soluble, not water soluble. “This means it has a natural fat shield that protects the anti-oxidants as they pass through the gastric juices, reaching the lower intestine where they are absorbed into the blood stream and eventually protect cells from free-radicals. When used for cooking or drizzled over food, it enhances the anti-oxidants in other foods as well, by protecting them.” Pablo is well-versed in the commercial challenges facing olive oil producers here and around the world. In San Francisco he helps chefs and retailers find the olive oils that best serve their customers’ needs for Pacific Sun Farms. “It’s a very short supply chain that is a way to favour quality and authenticity, which are essential for farm to table restaurants.” Pablo has been impressed by Wairarapa’s olives - and its growers. “You have good olive oil in this area and the growers are doing their best. It is very hard to make it viable commercially, even in Italy. It is great that you have so much available. Don’t take it for granted - take advantage of it.”

It’s Harvest Time at the Olive Press

Masterton’s newest bar now open Jackson Street Bar is now open for business. The new bar is located in the former premises of The Horse & Hound in Jackson Street, Masterton. Owners Trust House have created a fresh look at the same time as retaining popular elements of the former sports bar - TAB, gaming, free pool and darts. These have been sensitively placed in their own dedicated spaces, while the main bar has been turned into a friendly and welcoming environment to enjoy a meal

It is going to be a safe place to unwind and let your hair down with a relatively early closing time of 1am on weekends.

Rural health

(Remembrance)

Your locally owned newspaper

Rural life goes in cycles. The ups and downs are not unexpected, but they can be difficult to deal with, and sometimes hard to talk about. June is men’s health month, so it’s a great time to focus on the blokes, and get them talking! We know the importance of maintaining farm equipment and vehicles regularly – we need to do the same for ourselves. Visit your doctor at least annually, even if you feel you are in top health. And don’t forget the emotional bit guys – it really does exist, and it really is the biggest bit to look after! People who live and work on the land regularly have to cope with a number of challenges – from long working hours, to unexpected weather events, isolation and constant financial pressure. They are all factors that can impact negatively on our mental wellbeing. And mental wellness has to be an important part of your game plan. So, just for the rural men, here’s a date for the diary. Come and have a ‘Good Yarn’. Good Yarn is a practical workshop that’s designed to help anyone who regularly talks to farmers as well as those working and living on farms or in rural communities. It’ll give you the tools and confidence to help you include mental wellness as part of your conversation. It’s a training initiative developed by WellSouth (Primary Health Network) and has the support of key industry groups including Federated Farmers, Dairy NZ, Beef and Lamb, Dairy Women’s Network and Rural Women New Zealand. A workshop was held on Sunday at

It is practical and relevant to us all - because at the end of the day mental wellbeing is about feeling good and functioning well. It’s living in a way that is good for you and good for others – and it’s about getting people talking … even the blokes!

ADVERTORIAL

AT THE NGAUMUTAWA ROAD SITE OF THE NEW TUMU ITM STORE, FROM LEFT - SALES ACCOUNTS MANAGER FOR CARTERTON AND SOUTH WAIRARAPA MIKE TURLEY, TUMU ITM MASTERTON STORE MANAGER CORRIE JAMES AND SALES ACCOUNTS MANAGER FOR MASTERTON BILL CARTER.

RURAL PRODUCT RANGE SET TO EXPAND AT TUMU ITM Manager Corrie James is looking forward to increasing the range of products for rural and DIY customers when Tumu ITM opens its new Masterton store next year. The Solway store, at the corner of Ngaumutawa Road and High Street, will be approximately 4000 square metres in size. “We already have a great range of rural products but with a much larger premises the new store will signiÿcantly expand what we can o°er to rural and DIY customers.” Tumu ITM has grown from nothing to the largest building merchant supplier to the trade in Wairarapa in just 10 years. Today the store is involved in all aspects of building other than electrical with products and services from roofs, windows and concrete to sca°olding and even port-a-loo hire. As importantly, it employs sta° with a thorough knowledge of its building and building products. The sta° have the added incentive of earning a percentage of the store’s proÿts on top of their wages. “The biggest di°erence with Tumu ITM,” says Manager Corrie James, “is that we can stock the product of any manufacturer. This allows us to stock whatever product we think is best for our customers.”

Tumu ITM stocks the products of Wairarapa manufacturers wherever possible and also supports two Wairarapa charities - Wairarapa Sports Education Trust which gives grants to local promising sportspeople, and pet protection organisation Pet Animal Welfare Service Wairarapa (PAWS). Tumu ITM has kept the building of its new store local too, inviting three local companies to tender for its construction. It is looking to appoint a local café provider to operate at the new store as an additional service for its customers and passers-by of the high proÿle site.

SPECIALIST RURAL KNOWLEDGE PART AND PARCEL OF TUMU ITM SERVICE Tumu ITM has always specialised in servicing the rural sector, o°ering great value to its rural customers through the ITM Group’s bulk purchasing power. It has great every-day prices on posts, strainers, wires, gates and cattle and sheep yard rails. It is the preferred supplier for rural building specialists Quality Sheds. Mike Turley, Kirk Bird and Murray Jones head Tumu ITM’s team of rural specialists. Both Kirk and Murray have spent much of their lives working and living in rural environments and

Mike has specialised in assisting customers with rural shed choices for the past few years. Kirk grew up on a sheep & beef farm at Tinui and now lives on a lifestyle farm with his family at Whareama. Murray has lived and worked on sheep & beef farms for much his working life, and has lived on a lifestyle farm with his family at Mauriceville for many years. All three share their knowledge and experience with customers, to help them choose the right product for their purpose. If people are considering buying fencing gear, they should come and see Tumu ITM ÿrst, Murray advises. “We source some of the best quality products for fencing.” Murray speaks from experience, having done a fair bit of fencing work over many years. “It’s something I’ve always enjoyed. I ÿnd it very relaxing and a good time for a bit of contemplation.”

BILL CARTER CELEBRATES A DECADE WITH TUMU ITM As Tumu ITM readies itself for its big move next year, one man who has been with it since the beginning is Bill Carter. Bill was asked by the owners of Tumu ITM

to help set up the present Railway Crescent store just over 10 years ago. He did such a successful job that they then asked him if he would like to stay on with the business. Bill has many years’ experience in the building industry. He previously owned his own construction company which built homes in Wairarapa, Hawke’s Bay and Palmerston North. Bill grew up in Manawatu, moving to Masterton well over 30 years ago. “I love the place”. Today Bill is Sales Accounts Manager for the store, an important role given around 90 per cent of its clients are trade related businesses. Bill believes providing excellent service has been important to the success of the Masterton store. “Price is not always what sales are based on. Service is a big part of it and sometimes more important than price. “You have to have sta° who have expert knowledge, and excellent follow-through so customers get what they want, when they need it.” Tumu ITM Masterton Manager Corrie James says Bill has had a huge in˛uence on the business. “His commitment to service has permeated throughout the business to all the other sta°.”

Fed Farmers changes BY BECKIE WILSON

A bid by a Wairarapa farmer for the Federated Farmers’ national presidency proved unsuccessful yesterday as the first female president was announced in the organisation’s 118-year history. West Coast dairy farmer Katie Milne was voted in as national president, and succeeds William Rolleston who steps aside after his three-year tenure. A previous board member and West Coast provincial president, Mrs Milne was dairy woman of the year and a rural woman of influence in 2015. She beat past national-vice president Anders Crofoot, from Castlepoint Station, who said Mrs Milne would be an excellent leader. “I’m disappointed not to have been William Beetham, from elected, but Katie Wainuioru Valley, has is very capable landed a seat on the and will bring a national Federated different flavour.” Farmers meat and fibre executive board. While one Wairarapa farmer PHOTO/SUPPLIED missed out, another – William Beetham – has secured a seat on the national federation’s meat and fibre executive board. Mr Beetham is a fifth-generation farmer on the Brancepeth Station and runs Beetham Pastural in the Wainuioru Valley.

Rural

He has been the Wairarapa meat and fibre chair for the past three years. He said he had always wanted to contribute at a national level, and already had a few things in mind to tackle. “A discussion item was put forward for the meat and fibre regional AGM around advocating a sustainable return [for lamb] rather than seeing the fluctuation.” He said a positive campaign around this issue and raising awareness of what was a sustainable return was a high priority for him. Manawatu dairy farmer Andrew Hoggard, formal national dairy chair, was elected national vice president, while South Canterbury farmer Miles Anderson takes over as national meat and fibre chair as Rick Powdrell stepped aside.

Wairarapa Midweek

Manifesto launched

Federated Farmers has launched its ‘Farmers’ Manifesto’ challenging political parties in the upcoming general election to take a “sensible, practical and affordable” approach to tackling issues of high importance to its members. The Federation wants a ‘targeted catchment approach’ when it comes to addressing the nation’s water quality where sustainable economic growth, can be achieved alongside environmental goals. “We support a framework for catchment partnerships that co-ordinates community, council and scientific efforts. This could involve a range of taxpayer and region wide rates based funding to assist in the most cost effective way, to manage our regional waterways,” William Rolleston, outgoing Federated Farmers’ National President, said last week. “This way we can target those hotspots that need immediate attention through applying science based data.”

Match-winning try

Wai United beat Napier BY JAKE BELESKI

RUGBY BY GARY CAFFELL Pioneer were fair value for their 13-6 win over Marist in their Wairarapa-Bush Tui Cup premier division rugby match at Jeans St on Saturday in a game marred by a high penalty count and puggy ground conditions, both of which contributed to making it a somewhat stop-start affair. General expectations were for something of a try fest with both teams having a reputation for being at their most dangerous when moving the ball around but, as it happened, just the one try was scored. Mind you, it did have a huge say in the end result, coming as it did in the last quarter and breaking a 6-6 deadlock created through Nikora Ewe kicking two penalties for Pioneer and James Goodger likewise for Marist. The try was something special too, started by a typically aggressive burst by evergreen Pioneer fullback Nathan Rolls from just inside his own half and finished off in the corner by Manahi Fox after the ball had gone through another four or five pairs of hands. And the conversion from Ewe from almost on the sideline provided the perfect icing for the cake. For the remainder of the game it was pretty much a case of Marist throwing everything bar the proverbial kitchen sink at the Pioneer line as they desperately strove to get on level terms again but a mix of poor option taking and some tenacious Pioneer defence held them out. Pioneer were without two of their star performers through injury, inspirational pack leader Conan Gray and quality inside back Joseph Thompson, so while they

didn’t have the efficiency in their attacking play they would have liked they would have been happy to pick up a victory which could prove very important as they press for a Tui Cup semi-final berth a little further down the track. Their forwards were well led by Matt Kawana in the tighter exchanges and by Jonte Miller in the loose while normal outside back Reece Calkin showed his versatility by slotting in comfortably and providing a quick service for a backline in which Ewe, Rolls and Shane Harmon were the standouts. Midfielder Ewe was always a hard man to stop with ball in hand as was Harmon while Rolls, who is much more accustomed to playing as a loose forward, did everything right in the No 15 jersey, counter attacking with purpose and being safe under the high ball.

In James Goodger and Liam Devine Marist had two of the hardest-working forwards on the paddock and the pick of their backs was second-five Leo Eneliko, who was seldom halted by the first tackle. East Coast might be lonely at the bottom of the Tui Cup points table but they came mighty close to picking up their second successive win when they went down 23-22 against Eketahuna. Martinborough kept their Tui Cup semi-final hopes very much alive with a 24-17 win over Carterton, while defending champions Greytown snuck home over Gladstone 14-10 in a top-of-the-table clash at Gladstone.

Uno˜ cial competition points:

Gladstone 42, Greytown 40, Pioneer 31, Marist and Martinborough 29, Eketahuna 28, Carterton 27, East Coast 6.

Wairarapa United survived an extra time thriller against Napier City Rovers on Sunday to advance to the fourth round of the Chatham Cup. It was almost a case of déjà vu for United, who had narrowly beaten Rovers 4-3 in their Central League clash at the same venue earlier this season. United were never behind in the match played at Park Island in Napier, but with the scores locked at 3-3 after 90 minutes it was only two goals in the first half of extra time that finally separated the two teams. Rovers scored their fourth with a few minutes remaining, but United held on for a 5-4 win. Paul Ifill had given United the lead from a penalty in the first half, and the score remained 1-0 at halftime. In a trend that became common throughout the second half, Rovers responded when Josh Stevenson guided his shot home to equalise. Ifill scored his second to again give United the lead, and a third goal to the visitors threatened to take the game away from Rovers. But the home side scored two quick goals and all of a sudden had United on the back foot. Both teams had chances to clinch the match winner before extra time, but neither side could find the finishing touch. Once the extra time period began United pounced quickly, scoring first through Ermal Hajdari and then Seule Soromon. They did enough to hold onto their lead despite Angus Kilkolly scoring his second before the final whistle. The two sides will meet again in Masterton on July 9 in a Central League clash.
