Breaking down the barriers Mother bereaved by suicide organises mental health event Emily Ireland You cannot heal what is hidden. That’s the biggest thing Masterton’s Gael De Hertog has learned in her bereavement journey after she lost her son Aaron to suicide in December, 2016. Another thing she has learned is that everyone’s journey in life is diﬀerent, but that there is always hope from kindness – something she believes there’s not enough of in this world. “Statistically, we have a high rate of suicide in Wairarapa. “I would like to see it drop – I wouldn’t like anyone to go through the grief I have experienced.” Gael hopes to open up conversations about mental health through an evening with Kiwi professional speaker and award-winning singer-songwriter Julia Grace at the Wairarapa College hall. The all-ages event will be held at 7pm on August 10 and entry is by koha. “Julia Grace is a teacher by profession,

but her passion is as a mental wellness advocate,” Gael said. “She has a passion for spreading a message of hope and inspiration through her own life journey.” Julia Grace’s ﬁrst album “juliagrace”, received the Tui Award for Best Gospel/Christian Album at the New Zealand Music Awards in 2006. She has since released Beautiful Survivor (2010), It Is Well E.P (2013), and Girl On The Kitchen Floor (2016). Julia Grace had been chosen for the event because of the message of hope she shared while exploring serious topics including her own journey of crisis and depression. “I want to help to bring an understanding and awareness Continued on page 3

Mayors lead the way in attendance stats Steve Rendle

It’s been a busy term for district councils with up to 41 ordinary or extraordinary meetings since the last local body elections in October 2016. These statistics have been limited to full council meetings, but councillors will also be members of committees. Because all councillors are entitled to attend committee meetings, these attendances have not been included as they could have skewed results. It should also be noted that some non-attendances can be caused by the elected official having other political commitments related to their duties.

At Carterton District Council, Mayor John Booth [above], who is due to announce his intentions for the upcoming elections

this week, led the way with 100 per cent attendance at the 35 ordinary or extraordinary council meetings. He was matched by councillors Ruth Carter and Jill Greathead, who has already announced she will be standing for the mayoralty. All other councillors were in the 90-100 per cent attendance range, apart from Mike Ashby, who having missed four meetings was at 88.5 per cent. Tracey O’Callaghan, who resigned from council in February, attended 26 of 29 meetings.

At Masterton District Council, Mayor Lyn Patterson [above], who will stand again for the job,

was the only member of Masterton District Council to achieve a perfect attendance record. John Dalziel, who has announced he will not be standing again for council missed just one meeting of 41. Among other councillors, Deborah Davidson, who attended 32 meetings, and Simon O’Donoghue, who missed 10 meetings, were seen the least around the council table. At South Wairarapa District Council, deputy mayor Brian Jephson achieved the only perfect attendance record among those serving the complete term in South Wairarapa.

Mayor Viv Napier [above] missed two meetings, bringing her percentage down to 95 per cent. She was absent for one other meeting on official business.

Lee Carter, who will stand as mayor in this year’s election, attended 33 of 40 meetings, for a 82.5 percent record. Two councillors resigned and were replaced during the term, with another mayoral contender Dayle Harwood attending all 18 meetings until his resignation in April 2008. He was replaced in August by Ross Vickery. Paora Ammunson resigned in December 2018 and was replaced by Mike Gray in March 2019.

At Tararua District Council, Mayor Tracey Collis [above] missed just one meeting during the term, as had Peter Johns among southern ward councillors. Northern ward councillors attendances were not considered as it falls outside the Wairarapa Midweek circulation area.

Big Latch On is back Every Tuesday morning, a Little Latch On is held in the Maternity Ward at Wairarapa Hospital to share infant feeding information, provide guidance and support mums, partners, and babies. Lactation consultant, Julie Foley, is a “warm and friendly” advisor that quickly puts any troubled mums at ease and can offer guidance around latching and positioning techniques. Julie is also available for one-on-one consultations for more complex issues and works closely with midwives and peer supporters. On Friday, August 2, the annual Big Latch

On will be held at the Carterton Events Centre at 9.30am. Each year, the Big Latch On recognises the effort Wairarapa mums and families put in to give their babies a great start in life. There will be entertainment for toddlers, prizes, giveaways, stalls, and information, and the official latch count will be at 10.30am. For more information, call 06 377 9130. Anyone wishing to join the Little Latch On group can just come along to the Maternity Ward any Tuesday morning at 10am.

Positive event to promote mental wellbeing Continued from page 1 of the effect suicide has on our community through a positive event,” Gael said. “If one person can benefit from this, then it’s all worth it.” Speaking of her son Aaron, Gael said he was “happily married and held a very good job where he was recognised for his abilities”. “He left behind a beautiful supportive wife and a three-year-old son. “There were lots of questions and there was no

note left by him. “Even though I knew that things weren’t completely right in his emotional and mental wellbeing, he only chose to open up when he chose to. “I now realise that was because it was too painful.” Gael said her son’s biggest focus in life was kindness. “After Aaron’s son was born, he said to me, the biggest thing I want him to know is the receiving and the giving of kindness. “I said to him, there couldn’t be a greater thing

4 Wairarapa Midweek Local News Wednesday, July 31, 2019

Our search and rescue heroes Emily Ireland From retrieving missing trampers to finding murder victims, the volunteers at Wairarapa Search and Rescue have seen it all over the years. And with more than 100 years of search and rescue experience between just two of the organisation’s active volunteers, it’s safe to say this particular line of unpaid work is a rewarding one. Sam Milligan who started helping with search and rescue missions in “the early 60s” was a keen tramper from a young age. Being a young tramper, he would go in with teams of older, more experienced members, “and they nurtured us along”. “We picked up a lot of tips from them.” He remembered how search and rescue changed drastically with support from helicopters. The first recorded helicopter rescue in Wairarapa was on November 13, 1975. “I’d often go along as an observer with the pilot. “We’d be tasked to look at potential areas where the missing party could have gone to. “Nine times out of 10, you’d pick up some sort of sign.” He recalled the biggest search he was involved in was on Labour weekend in the early 1990s. A father and his two sons had gone to the Atiwhakatu Hut in the Tararuas to camp overnight and had not returned, he said. “We initiated a search and had some ground teams search the riverbanks and had a helicopter overhead and we picked up the bodies of the two boys in the river upstream of Donnelly’s Flat. “The father was found downstream of Holdsworth Lodge car park. “By mid-afternoon, we had recovered the three of them and we waited for the

undertaker to turn up. “Then, just after that a hunter had crossed the Waiohine River up from Walls Whare and hadn’t returned. “So, we swung into action, and by the end of the weekend we had about 15 teams down there, plus rafters and kayakers. “Then the search was scaled down, and on the Wednesday, his body was found under some trees at the end of Kuratawhiti St.” When asked how he dealt with the harsh reality of search and rescues, Sam said “you have to be positive and retain a sense of humour”. “You have to keep a wide view of things. Some people go into search and rescues with tunnel vision. “Ultimately, every search is rewarding. “We always like to end the operation with a positive find and I think we have a very good record. “If we don’t find someone alive, we will find the body — it gives closure to the family. The next big search Sam

was involved in was for six-year-old Featherston girl Coral-Ellen Burrows in September 2003. This search is vividly remembered by other Wairarapa Search and Rescue volunteers like Bill Taylor who has also given 50 years to the organisation. Coral-Ellen Burrows was murdered by her mother’s boyfriend Steven Williams and her body was found 10 days later when he confessed to killing her. “That Coral-Ellen Burrows one was really tragic. And this recent one we’ve had was another big one,” Bill said, referring to the 11-day search of missing tramper Darren Myers in June this year. His body was found during an aerial search. “The family camped here at the base the whole time. “They were hell of a nice people. To give them closure was nice.” Bill said over the 50 years he had volunteered with Wairarapa Search and Rescue, they had “plucked people from

certain death through the sheer tenacity of our searchers” – one of the more rewarding outcomes. “It makes you feel warm and fuzzy.” He said every search team’s efforts were important on a mission, “because even if they find nothing, at least you know the person isn’t there and you can eliminate the area”. “It’s just as important to not find anything.” In terms of gear people should be equipped with on a tramp, Bill said the most important things were good adequate clothing, food, water, radios, first aid kits, and personal locator beacons (PLBs). Personal locator beacons can be bought from any outdoors store or can be hired for $5 a day or $30 for a week. This is a recently subsidised rate and the PLBs are available to be booked through Masterton Trust Lands Trust. Wairarapa Search and

Rescue chairman Murray Johnston said PLBs should not be thought of as “just for use in the hills”. “Every back-country farmer should have one because there are so many places in Wairarapa that are out of cell phone range “I carry one in my car because I drive back roads. Murray has been involved in search and rescue missions as a volunteer most recently, but also as a policeman. “You don’t notice the pressure at the time, but certainly, that following day [after a mission], it sinks in. “The what ifs and maybes. “The police side of search and rescue, I did from 1989 through to 2010.

“Then I just carried on – but not getting paid for it,” he laughed. “It was the most rewarding part of police work in the first place and it’s something I really enjoy doing.” Murray said his first search and rescue mission was for “a skinny hunter from Palmerston North in South Mitre Stream”. “He was out in a lovely open creek – he would have been spotted by the helicopter in the first 15 minutes of the search – but he thought that the helicopter wouldn’t hear him yelling over the sound of the water, so he walked up the bank. “He was found by ground teams two days later. “He was the size of a large child and I asked him, how are you going to carry a deer out if you get one, and he said, Murray, I’ve never had to worry about that because I’ve never got near one.” Nigel Boniface, another volunteer for Wairarapa Search and Rescue, has been out on many missions over the years, and has only once been in the search party that has personally found the missing person “A car had gone off the Remutakas in the early morning. “Apart from being hypothermic, they were actually okay.” The woman was found 200m down a steep hill at 4am. “The options were to get an awful lot of people in and carry her out on a stretcher, or wait until daylight and get the helicopter in, which is what we did.” • To book a personal locator beacon, contact Masterton Trust Lands Trust on 06 370 0155.

Thousands of dollars saved by upcycling Erin Kavanagh-Hall One of the mainstays of Wairarapa’s creative community is leading the way in tackling the local “throw away economy” – one freshly upholstered chair at a time. To help mark Plastic Free July, and generally champion kindness to the planet, the crew at King Street Artworks (KSA) re-covered the studio’s worn-out vinyl seating using donated materials – saving thousands of dollars, and a trip to the dump. And the new and improved seating isn’t the only way the organisation has reduced its environmental footprint – for example, repurposing clothing, recycling clay and canvases, running its own op-shop, and dispensing with single use plastics during the artistic process. KSA, now in its 22nd year, aims to improve community health and wellbeing through creativity – offering a space for people to try a range of art mediums in a relaxed and supportive environment. Coordinator Ian Chapman said KSA has about 400 artists on its books, at least half of whom are regular attendees – so it was little wonder the seating was nearing the end of its shelf life. On finding out it would cost about $6,000 for a new set of chairs, staff and artists put their creative chops to work

and replaced the old, grey vinyl coverings with KSA’s stash of “funky” upholstery material – one of the many art and craft supplies gifted by the public. Chapman said the re-upholstery project helped demonstrate to the studio’s artists the value of “making do and mending”, and not contributing to consumerist culture – which, thanks to over-production of disposable goods, often has an adverse impact on the environment. “We’re living in a throw away economy, where it’s all too easy to chuck something in the bin once it wears out,” Chapman said. “It was a real eye-opener finding out how much it would cost to get new chairs – and that the old ones would probably end up in landfill. “In the end, we only spent 20 bucks in total [re-covering all of the chairs], and that was for the staples. Chapman said KSA recognises the impact of art on the environment – for example, clay “lasts forever” once it’s fired, and oil painting requires the use of toxic chemicals. However, the studio has spent the past two decades actively working to reduce its environmental footprint, and pass this ethos onto its artists. For example, all clay from discarded projects is recycled – ground into particles, soaked and put through a pugmill mixing machine – and artists are

encouraged to re-use old canvases. A great many of KSA’s art supplies – paints, brushes, canvases and boards, frames, wood and carving tools, crafting materials, and a library of art books, puzzles and games – have been donated by the public. KSA also receives donations of secondhand clothing and shoes, which artists can buy for a nominal fee. “We want to show people op-shopping isn’t a second-class option,” KSA studio manager Linda Tilyard. “We’re very grateful for everything we receive – it helps us out, and it’s stuff that might have ended up getting taken to the tip.” Staff also run regular “re-purposing” workshops for artists: including creating paper from recycled scraps, using old leather to make keyrings, knife holders and purses, upcycling dated clothing, and making beeswax wraps to cover food and paint pallets. “We run on a limited budget at King Street – and we’re creative people, so we come up with creative solutions to make things last, and save the planet,” Mrs Tilyard said. • King Street Artworks, 16 Queen St, Masterton, is open Monday to Friday from 10am to 3pm, and Saturdays from 10am to 2pm. • Friday is women’s only day. • Entry to the studio is free.

Choir united by freedom songs Emily Ireland Almost 50 years ago, more than 400,000 people ﬂocked to a 600-acre dairy farm southwest of Woodstock in New York for a music festival. To celebrate the anniversary of the infamous Woodstock music festival, the Carterton Community choir will be performing American hits from the 60s and 70s like California Dreaming, Lean On Me, and Stand By Me on August 8 at 7pm. The concert, which will be held at the Carterton School hall, has a koha entry and is one of a handful of public performances the choir does each year. Central to the Carterton Community Choir are also

the genres of African and Gospel music, which bring members together, choir secretary Pam Torrington said. “The idea of a community choir is that anyone can join, you don’t have to read music or have an audition, and it’s just all singing together for fun.” She said a lot of the songs community choir members learned were African or Gospel music because historically they were taught with no words or sheet music. The choir, which has been running for just over four years, practices every Thursday night at the Carterton School Hall under the guidance of director Stephen Judd. Torrington said Judd’s commitment and

enthusiasm for the choir was priceless and he was well-known in the community. The choir’s practices run throughout the year and members pay $7 for each session they attend. There are about 20 members of the choir and at least 15 regular attendees. At their August 8 concert, there will be an African drummer, a pianist, and a double bassist to accompany them. • Judd would like to acknowlegde a Creative Communities grant he received from Carterton District Council for professional development and improvements to the concert.

Gift sweet in so many ways For most people, chocolate is on the “not allowed” list. But all things should be allowed in moderation, and when children are in hospital, a little treat goes a long way. Laura Meijer works for Lee Malneek, who donates regularly to the hospital, and when her eight-yearold son Brody said he had some chocolate to sell for a school fundraiser, Lee took the opportunity to chat to Brody about kindness, and the great work nurses do for sad, sick children in hospital. Brody agreed that giving away the chocolate to say thank you to the nurses and cheer up the children would be a good thing to do. So, Lee bought ﬁve boxes, and donated them back to Brody, who brought three of them in to Wairarapa Hospital to gift one each to Acute Services, Paediatrics and to Maternity. The other two were donated to a rest home. Brody said he was very proud of himself and it felt good to give the chocolate away. His six-year-old cousin

Roman thought it was a very cool thing to do. “I hope [the chocolate] makes the children here be happy and the nurses

be happy too, because they work very hard and they probably need cheering up too,” Brody said.

Tips on dressing for success Marina Lira recently moved from Brazil to Featherston, giving her a fresh outlook on what Wairarapa has to offer. Join her as she shares her experiences navigating her new community.

Do you know when you feel super confident and powerful? That feeling when you find the right clothes for the occasion? That’s what I felt when I went for an interview with Dress for Success Wairarapa. My expectations were high, because I knew what I was going to do there – but I felt that it exceeded all of them. First of all, let me explain what Dress for Success Wairarapa is. It was founded in New York in 1997 and is an international not for profit organisation with 150 affiliates in 24 countries. The organisation has the vision of a world where women do not live in poverty, are treated with dignity and respect, and are strengthening their families and shaping their communities. They are helping to make that possible through clothing. One of the most important things for a good job interview is the first impression you give. Nice clothes, the right shoes, and good makeup, all count towards

Eagle launch a family affair A large crowd joined family members of artist Jan Eagle to launch the retrospective exhibition of her work ‘This is me’ last Friday at Aratoi Wairarapa Museum of Art and History, in Masterton. Sixty pieces of the late artist’s work were on display as well as her beloved car, Edna May. Co-curators Marg Robinson and Gwenda Saunders were there and Saunder’s book The Story of Edna May was on display and selling well. Eagle died last year after

a battle with cancer, aged 82. She was born in Greytown to Jack and Stella Bull in 1936 and is most known for her eﬀorts in revitalising the historic Stella Bull Park and Sarah’s Garden. She was a ﬂorist until she sold her shop in the 1980s, taking the opportunity to dedicate herself fully to her art. She was instrumental in the establishment of Heart of Arts in Carterton, and was a strong supporter of Aratoi and the former

Wairarapa Arts Centre. Eagle held solo exhibitions titled The Urban Provider (2007), Space to Space (2009) and Heavenly Communications (2014) at Aratoi and regularly contributed to the Friends of Aratoi Arts Review and the Little Jewels fundraiser and exhibited with the Main Artery group. The retrospective exhibition runs until September 8. A tribute book is available for visitors to sign.

GARDEN

YARN

WITH

Spring Is Just Around The Corner!

It’s The Final Countdown – the final month of winter! August is a busy time for preparing and planning your garden – along with a few other very important tasks that need to be done now.

PREPARE FOR SOWING

CHECK DRAINAGE AND IMPROVE SOIL While the weather is still cool and the ground wet take the time to wander around your garden and see what areas need improving. Identify the areas that don’t drain well and dig in some gypsum and organic matter. Many fruit trees, vegetables and ornamentals (such as clematis, lilacs and delphiniums) will benefit from having garden lime added to sweeten the soil. Avoid feeding blueberries, potatoes, and other acid loving plants such as Azaleas, Camellias etc).

Wet feet and poorly drained soil can be fatal for some plants. Have a wander around your garden and identify the areas that need improving before it’s too late.

THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE! Don’t let Leaf Curl ruin your crops of Peaches & Nectarines, SPRAY NOW with Copper & Oil before it’s too late.

CONTROL MOSS IN LAWNS Yates Weed n Feed Mosskiller kills moss at the same time as fertilising. We have 3kg bags for $21.60 or to just rid the lawn of moss then we have 3kg bags of Sulphate of Iron for $11.30. Add 2 tablespoons to half a bucket of water, apply to your lawn, and repeat this again a week later. When the moss turns black you can rake the moss out.

Lots of seed sowing can be started now under cover, or for heat loving crops such as tomatoes, peppers and basil then the use of a heat pad is extremely beneficial. We have a wonderful range of seeds to choose from including Mr Fothergill’s, Kings, Yates and our exclusive, top quality range ican Chef’s Best.

PLANT NOW Now is the best time to come in and see us because the new season stock has all arrived – deciduous trees, roses, fruit trees, nuts + so much more. Get your plants established now – before you know it, the weather could be scorching hot. The Iolanthe Magnolia (pictured) is one of the earlier flowering beauties. This is just one of many Magnolias we have ready for planting now.

FEED Many plants take off this month and heavy feeders such as Citrus and Roses need plenty of nutrients to support new growth and encourage flower production. Camellias and azaleas can be trimmed and fed when they have finished flowering and when the growth of spring bulbs and garlic emerge it’s time to feed them as well.

NEW MOON - August 1 FULL MOON - August 16 MOON PLANTING TIPS THIS WEEK July 31 - August 2: Increasing vitality, time to prepare soil for high growth period ahead. Don’t sow or plant yet. August 3 - August 6: Eleven days of prolific growth for above ground crops. Sow and plant vegetables such as beans, lettuce, tomatoes, cauliflower, wheat etc. Ideal for liquid feeding with ican Fast Food or other liquid fertiliser with fish or seaweed emulsion. Sow flowers. Divide and repot houseplants. Avoid sowing root crops as they may go to seed.

PRUNING Ensure your roses & deciduous trees are pruned by the end of this month and spray with Grosafe Lime Sulphur to control a range of pests & disease, along with moss & lichen. Keep an eye out on the next few weeks GardenYarn for more information on winter pruning roses.

171,000 words: Learning English a tough task There are approximately 171,000 words in the English language. Most native English speakers know between 20,000 and 35,000 words. Scrabble experts, linguists, lexicographers and language academics may well know a lot more. (You can get a quick estimate of the size of your vocabulary from www. testyourvocab.com. Only takes a couple of minutes.) Non-native speakers know considerably less and anyone learning a second language typically struggles to learn more than 3,000 words in that language. You can get by day to day with 800 words, but to understand films/TV you’ll need nearer to 3,000. Twenty thousand or more words is quite a lot to learn to spell and use correctly given English’s famous inconsistencies. I liked the one I saw the other day. Pacific Ocean: every “c” is pronounced differently. Apparently, people like me who are aggravated by poor spelling, bad grammar and mangled words are introverts. Yes, that’s right. Introverts. Remember us? We’re the ones who think before we speak. In English, you can make new words from existing words. You can turn a verb into a noun by adding “ing” on

turn a noun into a verb by verbing. Verbing is itself an example of verbing given that “verb” in its natural habitat is a noun. To make friends with someone used to be to befriend them, but now you can friend someone on social media. Big distinction – I’d never befriend some of the people I’ve friended on Facebook. It is said, “any English noun can be verbed, but

some are more resistant than others”. Nouns that end in “ent” are strongly resistant to verbing. However, there seems to be a fashion leaning towards excessive verbing. One I can’t stand is “adulting”. As far as I can determine it means to behave as an adult despite by age and appearance being an adult. Murdering the language is now homiciding the language. Ugh. But what the hey, does all this fixation on words really matter? Words are fundamental units of our verbal communication. You could call them the building blocks of communication. But, building blocks tend to be grey and uniform and en masse produce slab opaque walls of dreariness. What if we thought of words as tesserae? Words as elemental pieces of mosaic – a mix of size, shape, colour and texture that combine to produce an array of patterns. That’d give us all a much richer experience.

Little slice of heaven It’s funny how much we miss of the world when we just drive through it. On Sunday, I went on a guided walk along the Waiwaka Stream which runs through urban Masterton. On the walk, which took about two hours, were a panel of experts, including a historian and a former long-term DOC employee. It was organised by Tony Garstang, who also played the role of tour guide on the day. He and Kirsten Browne were the ones who developed a comprehensive map of Masterton’s rivers and streams for the Aratoi exhibition WAI. On the walk, we started at Cornwall St and ended up at a little slice of heaven called Garland’s Bush. In between, we walked through a retirement village, school grounds, and some private properties with permissions from the owners. It’s incredible what lies in people’s backyards. But most impressive to me was Garland’s Bush. I always say just when

Piece of mind

READER PHOTO

Emily Ireland you think you’ve met everyone that has a story to tell, someone else incredible comes out of the woodwork. Well, I thought I had been to most places in Masterton. But entering into this piece of paradise oﬀ Hogg Crescent, I was quickly humbled. Only a few metres in, I found myself in the thick of native trees and plantings. The hustle and bustle of the urban area was out of sight (and out of mind). I felt a sense of calm as we walked in further. I’d heard of the term forest bathing – the concept was developed in Japan during the 1980s and has become a cornerstone of preventive health care and healing in Japanese medicine. Simply put, forest bathing is when you calm

your mind and body in a forest setting – bathing in nature. And just when I thought I couldn’t be even more awestruck by Garland’s Bush, we came across a spot where a group of three kahikatea trees grew so close to one another that one would think they were a tree version of conjoined triplets. Each of these trees was hundreds of years old – potentially among the oldest existing things in what is now urban Masterton. Did I say I felt humbled? Well, call this feeling double-humbled – or should I say triple? Places like Garland’s Bush are so easy to miss behind the wheel of the car. I would highly recommend going on a walking tour if there’s another on the horizon.

A settler’s new song The poet Lars Andersen Schou (1835-1920) had published in Denmark, his home country, and in Aotearoa, he self-published En ny Sang – ‘A new song’, which is now on display at Aratoi Museum of Art and History. He arrived in New Zealand in 1875 and wrote En ny Sang in his tent at Mauriceville. The poem-song encourages the Danish migrants to remember their motherland but to also

treasure their new home. “As the rough and brutal nature retreats /

By the hands of all the working men / All the ties to the past might burst / Freeing up those country folks again. / It is indeed so beauteous and so fine / On your broad lands to step and to walk / With a fine boy-child held to your side / For we are settled and we can talk. / Look now around you, the fields so green / While love for this land within you grows / And all your strong fine herds there teem / In a rich and joyful overflood flows. • Pictured is a copy of ‘En Ny Sang’, a poem from Lars Andersen Schou, printed by Masterton newspaper, Wairarapa Daily, circa 1880, Stuart family collection, Wairarapa Archive.

WAIRARAPA HERB SOCIETY

Joining a herb society PHOTO/STOCK.ADOBE.COM

Sue Laurence Herbs have a very long history. They feature in the customs and festivals of the Greeks, Romans and Egyptians. During the time of the Tudors, herbalists such as John Gerard and Nicholas Culpepper were able to publish lists of herbs, their cultivation and their uses at the time. Today, there is more reason than ever to learn about the link between herbs and the health of people and the planet. Herbs are cheap and easy to grow – in the garden or in pots. They are easy-care and will self-seed or spread via their roots without any attention from you, and without the need for much water (remember many are Mediterranean plants). Their flowers are very attractive to bees and butterflies and, as companion plants, they benefit their neighbours as well. If you are interested in gardening, craft, cooking, or health, or all four, consider the Wairarapa Herb Society. This group was established in 1982 and we are a charitable organisation whose purpose is to learn about and share knowledge about herbs in a variety of ways. Over the past year the society has been involved in developing the herb garden as

part of the community garden at Haumanu House in Carterton. The next phase includes the installation of information panels about the culinary and medicinal herbs in the garden. We are also at the beginning of an exciting new relationship with local schools through the Enviroschools network which is supported by local councils. Learning about herbs can be a lifelong interest. As we are part of the Herb Federation of New Zealand, the Wairarapa Herb Society will support members to study a certiﬁcate course in herbs and their uses. We also operate a reference library and members are encouraged to borrow from this. Some of our Wairarapa Herb Society members are very knowledgeable about herbs and are happy to share information. Monthly meetings have a speciﬁc topic and often plants or seeds are made available. Some additional Saturday meetings provide opportunity to visit local gardens or to run workshops. So why wouldn’t you join? Find out more by emailing waiherbs@ gmail.com. • Sue Laurence is the president of the Wairarapa Herb Society.

SOUTH WAIR AR APA DIS TRIC T COUNCIL

july UPDATE MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE

Seven weeks into the job now and I’m getting a good feel from the community on the work that needs to be done. The South Wairarapa is certainly a great place to live, work and play. What makes this true is of course the beautiful landscape, but more importantly it’s the people. This month I have had the pleasure of meeting lots of wonderful locals who are passionate about their communities and want the best for their families and neighbours. This was evident at the Featherston Wastewater Treatment Plant drop-in sessions, where I got to hear first-hand what people thought of our current proposal. I thank you for this valuable feedback, which will be taken onboard to help Council decide the next steps in achieving our goal of getting the wastewater out of our precious waterways.

Why the moon is marked The Delta Aquarids meteors are fairly faint, but this week they are around their peak and there’s no moon. The moon is our enemy when wanting to view a meteor shower. So, any clear night in the next week, wrap up warm and get outside after 9.30pm, away from town lights. Fairly high in the eastern sky, the brightest star in that part of the sky is Fomalhaut, the main star of the southern fish – Piscis Australis. The constellation of Aquarius the water carrier, is the main group of stars just north of there, not quite so high above the eastern horizon. The meteors will appear to emanate from near the star Delta Aquarii, but you don’t have to bother to locate this not too exciting star. It’s the nearest prominent star in Aquarius to Fomalhaut, so as long as you are looking in that general vicinity you should see a meteor every few minutes. To the unaided eye, Aquarius is not that exciting. However, it contains some stars that have known planets. Its two visually brightest stars are several thousand times brighter than our sun and would be very

look for a flat place to land. A prominent finding during the Apollo missions was confirmation that lunar craters were formed by impacts of meteors and asteroids. Prior to the Apollo missions, most astronomers conjectured that the craters were formed by volcanic activity, since they are mostly circular in shape. Various experiments had been performed, like shooting round shots into sand. When shot from an angle, the holes were seen to be elongated, as one would expect. Impacts from space would hit from any angle, so it was assumed that the circular craters were not formed by impacting bodies. Now we know differently. Most bodies that hit the moon (and Earth of course) are travelling so fast that they behave on impact like giant nuclear bombs, and it is this that blasts the bowlshaped holes that we see. Earth’s fluid surface and erosional forces have buried or hidden most of its craters, otherwise we would be as pock-marked as the moon. Next week: The two largest planets invade the zodiac.

Zest for life and music at Kandahar Home and Court Every hour is happy hour at Enliven’s Kandahar Home and Court in Masterton where opportunities to enjoy good food, music and company are part of daily life. The beginning of each month brings extra excitement in the way of entertainer Lance Naysmith. The Masterton singer and musician will return this week for his monthly performance which residents really look forward to, says Kandahar Home recreation officer Di McCuish. “We have Lance Naysmith as a visiting musician at both Kandahar Home and Kandahar Court. He joins our happy hour at Kandahar Court on the first Friday of every month and the fun, laughter and dancing is amazing with everybody joining in. “He has a great rapport with all of our residents and team here, and knows everyone by name. He dances and sings with them all, which everyone looks forward to.” Other regular activities for residents of Enliven’s Kandahar Home and Court include social get-togethers on Wednesday and Friday afternoons, which recreation staff and residents bring nibbles along to, sometimes making a quiche or pie. Kandahar Home manager Peter Newman says helping elders stay connected to the things they love, including music and baking, is a key part of Enliven’s elder-centred philosophy. “We’re passionate about helping elders maintain their zest for life, and an important part of that is helping them to continue those activities which have brought them joy throughout their lives. We follow the Enliven philosophy, after all, which emphasises the importance of meaningful activity to elders’ wellbeing.”

Kandahar Home residents Bill Leahy and Joy Parsons dance to entertainer Lance Naysmith, who will perform again on August 2.

“Many residents here already take part regularly in activities like arts and crafts, music, games and quizzes, bowls, and day trips. If there’s anything else we can do to support them, we’ll do our best to provide those opportunities for them.” The Enliven philosophy is based on the internationally-recognised Eden Alternative model of care. It encourages and supports elders to enjoy choice, independence, fun, meaningful activity and companionship.

PEEK @ PUKAHA

Domain of Whatonga Dear friends, Today we have some history for you. Did you know that, not long ago, New Zealand was a very wild place? And the forest that stretches into the distance at Pūkaha was one of the wildest, grandest places of them all. When the Kurahaupō waka first arrived in Aotearoa there were three captains. One of them was called Whatonga, who settled near to what is today known as Cape Kidnappers. One day, he decided to go on a fishing trip. He caught a lot of fish but when his wife, Hotuwaipara, was preparing them, she cut her finger on one of the spikes. She became very upset because this meant she had lost some of her mana (status), and for this she blamed Whatonga. Whatonga thought it best to give Hotuwaipara some space. So, he sailed along the eastern coast of Aotearoa, right down to the top of the South Island. On his return north, he stopped to climb one of the high mountains he saw. From this high spot, he could see unbroken forest on all sides which he named Te Tapere nui o Whatonga, or “the great domain of Whatonga”. The 942-hectares you can see today at Pūkaha are pretty much all that remains of this giant forest. Most of the land around it was cleared by Europeans to make way for farms, while introduced mammals like the Polynesian rat (kiore) and stoats have put much of our native wildlife at risk. It’s not all doom and gloom though.

The Pukaha forest.

We have some pretty extensive predator control measures in place. We are lucky enough to call on volunteers, neighbours, our local councils and BackBlocks Environmental Management for help. Keep your eyes peeled and your binoculars at the ready the next time you visit – our newest regular is a wild kōkako that keeps appearing near our visitor centre. Ngā mihi, The Pūkaha rangers.

Provincial Growth Fund It’s not too late to apply The Provincial Growth Fund (PGF) was put together as part of the agreement between the Labour Party and New Zealand First Party coalition agreement in 2017. The New Zealand Government has allocated three billion dollars over a three-year term to invest in regional economic development through the PGF. Recently, in my hometown of Carterton, I had great pleasure to announce that the PGF has allocated $800,000 towards small scale water storage projects throughout the Wairarapa. The announcement I made on behalf of my colleague, Minister of Regional Economic Development Shane Jones, was a particularly proud one for me to relay. Over many years I have been in conversations with councillors, Mayors, organisations and agencies, we were all in agreement that secure water supply was crucial for our growth and development.

The PGF is by no means fully committed, you can still apply. Have a read of the Wairarapa Economic Development Strategy to see if your project aligns with their criteria. You can pick up a copy of the plan from your local library or visit growwairarapa.nz.

Get involved Your child will do better in their education if there are strong connections between home and school or kura. As a parent, you can provide that connection by being actively involved in your child’s school or kura. Ways to get involved

New Zealand schools and kura are set up to give the community a say in deciding how they work. Here are some ways you can get involved in your child’s school—but also talk to other parents, the teachers and principal about other ways to take part.

Let your child know you’re interested and involved

Be the voice for your child. Ask for the support and services you think your child needs at any time.

Being interested in your child’s education and involved in their school or kura shows them that their education is important to you, and it becomes more important to them as well. Ask what your child is learning at school or kura and what they’re finding easy or hard. Knowing what they’re learning will give you clues about extending their learning beyond school or kura. Ask about homework set by the teacher, what you can do to help and support them in doing it.

Know what’s going on

Get to know the teachers and principal, and talk to them regularly about how your child is doing both at home and school or kura. Go to parent-teacher meetings to get feedback. Read the school newsletters and go to school events, such as information evenings and assemblies. Know who’s on the board of trustees, find out about attending meetings, get your concerns on the agenda, and keep up to date with what the board are doing.

Have your say

Have your say in any topics up for parent consultation. Complete any school or kura surveys so that your views are taken into account.

Volunteer

You can volunteer to help in the classroom, at events, with sports, or on school trips and camps. Share a talent or some knowledge you have. It can be anything – sports, culture, cooking, crafts, language. Talk to your child’s teacher about taking a session.

Join or set up a PTA group

Most schools and kura have a parent group or parent teacher association (PTA) you can join. These are groups of parents just like yourself who want to support the running of school in practical ways. They co-ordinate parent helpers, organise school events, fundraise and help create a strong school community. If there isn’t a parent, or home and school group at your school or kura, you could talk with other parents and set up one yourself. The NZPTA has information about setting up a group. Get their booklet for parents.

Talk with your school about other ideas

Your child’s education is a real partnership between your school or kura and yourself. You might be able to think of other ways you and other parents could be involved. Your school or kura might also have some ideas. Talk together about how else you might be able to be involved. Source: Ministry of Education education.govt.nz

Fuller also says the school’s focus on working with the community has added to student engagement across the board, and points to the South Wairarapa Kāhui Ako community of learning as a key contributor to stronger collaboration.

“Māori parents have identified their children’s desire for identity – their place in the world as Māori, and we have taken steps to incorporate Tikanga Māori into our college curriculums,” said Fuller.

“Kāhui Ako has a student-led and student-focused approach.

Kahutara School We are a rural school with great heart. We believe we have a very special environment to support your child’s learning journey. We have five classrooms and a wonderful team here providing a quality education for all our children. We believe in a balanced curriculum using technology and play-based learning where appropriate.

Therefore we encourage our children to participate in a variety of EOTC activities in the community. Our students have continued involvement in environmental projects, including taking part in planting days at Onoke Spit and Wairio Wetlands. We have been fortunate enough to be given access to a piece of land close to the school to develop into our own wetland restoration project. Sport continues to be a focus at Kahutara School and is an area where we have lots of fun and achieve great success. Our students are encouraged to be physically active both at school and in

I have visited many Wairarapa schools and I am always delighted to see so much progress being made. Our educators and support staff are skilled, dedicated and passionate. They are working alongside Wairarapa’s Combined Councils to streamline education and training opportunities – from kindy through to the workplace. Let me know your ideas for improving education and training opportunities in our region.

partnerships through oﬀering a wide range of opportuni�es for par�cipa�on in events and ac�vi�es. Students liaise with, and provide services to, the community through project-based learning. Their pride in working together to help others is clearly evident. Project-based learning is building students’ key competencies and a culture of ako that promotes student agency. A bicultural approach, emphasising key components of te ao Māori, is clearly evident. This is demonstrated in many ways, including through whole-school student-led pōwhiri and the prominence of the centrallylocated wharenui and wharekai. Staﬀ have been involved in professional development to strengthen their cultural responsiveness. Students’ iden��es, and whānau and community knowledge, language and culture are integral to school life.

Where we are heading

Students par�cipate and learn in a caring and inclusive environment. The pastoral system has been redesigned to a ver�cal form (Waka Huia) structure, with new Deans appointed. Internal support people and external agencies are well u�lised to promote student well-being and equity of access to opportuni�es. Some innova�ve approaches to learning and engagement promote student voice and choice. Leaders, teachers and trustees are focused on con�nuing to strengthen whānau and community

A key focus for us this year has been our Arotahi Fridays, where students have a range of choices about the type of learning they do – including project-based learning, trades, outdoor educa�on, and academic opportuni�es. We know that young people are more likely to be more engaged when they have more ownership of their learning, and we are con�nuing to look at how to find the right mix of tradi�onal and innova�ve teaching and learning to help our students develop fulfilling lives (filled with purpose, meaning, and achievement) for themselves, their families, and their communi�es.

Where new ideas arrive every day Happy and proud to support Wairarapa education.

EDUCATION FOCUS2019/20

Helping your child develop key competencies Your child is learning a range of skills and abilities (key competencies) to help them to do well in life. There are lots of things you can do to help your child develop and use these.

managing self

These key competencies are:

Being in a sports team – participating and contributing; relating to others, managing self

 Thinking

Mastering the rules of an online game – thinking; using language, symbols and texts.

 Using language, symbols, and texts

Talk to the teacher about how they are developing your child’s key competencies. Ask what you can do at home to build on what they are doing at school.

 Managing self  Relating to others  Participating and contributing

How can I help at home? Understand what’s happening at school - ask your teacher how they are teaching your child about key competencies, why, and what you can do to help at home Be enthusiastic and interested in what your child is doing at school – ask your child what they learned today, talk about the skills that they are developing, and how useful they are in life Do things together that uses one or more key competencies - this shows your child that what they learn at school is connected to the things they do in everyday life, for example: Planning a meal – thinking; using language, symbols and texts,

Taking part in a powhiri at your marae – relating to others; participating and contributing, using language, symbols and texts

Visit the Key Competencies area of the Te Kete Ipurangi (TKI) website (https://www.tki.org.nz/). This is a website developed for teachers and educators but anyone is welcome to visit it. It provides a more detailed look into the key competencies and some good videos of children themselves talking about their learning. Find out more about the New Zealand Curriculum (the curriculum framework that schools use to plan their teaching) on TKI. This includes more in-depth information about the vision, principles, values, key competencies and learning areas. Source: Ministry of Education education.govt.nz

Ongoing education and apprenticeships highly valued at JNL Juken New Zealand (JNL) has been employing great Kiwis for close to 30 years. It’s a great company to work for and the possibilities are limitless. We specialise in the NZ forestry and wood processing industries manufacturing advanced and innovative wood products from selectively planted, managed and harvested Radiata Pine for local and export markets. We have become an important economic and cultural contributor to communities within which we operate. Currently, we have three apprenticeships on the go at JNL Wairarapa Mill - an electrical apprenticeship in industrial electrotechnology and two people doing mechanical engineering (Fitters). We have also had staff do apprenticeships in Sawdoctoring and Timber Machining. We have an in-house quality assurance apprenticeship

scheme that we run and administer ourselves, along with this there is also an ingrain buddy trainer and leadership programmes that are run in-house for people who train new staff and for people who have shown a potential to move up the ranks within JNL. Juken New Zealand runs a literacy & numeracy programme at the Wairarapa Mill called INGRAIN ESOL since 2011. This has been run on site in conjunction with Literacy Aotearoa. We have opened it up to all staff, as we have discovered several of our staff have managed to get through the New Zealand school system with very low levels of literacy and numeracy. Staff can self-nominate to join the programme or can be referred by their team leader/ supervisor. The programme is open to all JNL staff at the Wairarapa Mill regardless of whether they work for JNL or are Labour contractors from Reid Enterprises: 021 511 816 or Kiwi Recruitment: 06 370 2400.

sports â&#x20AC;&#x201C; dressage and show jumping on the sand arenas, event training throughout the fields and cross country jumps, as well as fitness work and hacking.

In 2018 Solway College brought the Solway Equestrian Academy â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;onsiteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, making it readily available and easily accessible for our riders. The lower field consists of 10 paddocks with post and rail and equifencing, limestone tracks, and containers for tack, feed and providing covered hitching rails and a wash bay.

2019 has also seen the appointment of full-time Academy Manager Elle Ifill. Elle has been riding and coaching for 23 years, bringing a wealth of experience to the Solway Equestrian Academy. Specialist coaches are brought in each week, and the Academy is blessed to have Olympic medallist Eventer Tinks Pottinger as a regular weekly coach, alongside Grand Prix Dressage rider, Kate Tobin, and Grand Prix Showjumper, Anna Stephens.

We look forward to holding another successful Solway College InterSchools Dressage event at the prestigious showgrounds on 18th September, where we will see a wide range of ages and experience levels throughout our community and beyond combine together for this exciting event.

This year we had riders competing to

a high level in an array of disciplines, including showjumping, show hunter and dressage, as well as stepping up to 1* eventing. We also had riders fortunate enough to qualify and compete at the prestigious â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Horse of the Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; event in Hawkeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bay. We have just secured a wonderful school pony for our â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Learn-to-Rideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; programme, as well as the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Learnto-Ride Plusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, which weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking forward to teaching new skills to our up and coming learner riders. Our Community Holiday Programme targets Primary School children, and we are set to run our third annual live-in Camp in the October school holidays. The Equine Studies Programme offers girls the opportunity to study courses in equine-related areas as a pathway to a career in the equine industry.

Long-term thinking helps school course. You just need to invest the time and effort and you’ll be on your way.

Midweek Musings

A happy environment

Tim Nelson Lakeview School principal TIM NELSON endeavours to learn something new every day by reading books, listening to podcasts, and engaging with a wide range of other content. Don’t quit social media

Matti Haapoja is a YouTuber with a large audience. His videos are great to watch; they’re entertaining and informative. In Matti’s most recent video he is just about to come off a break with using social media. He uses this experience to share his thoughts, with the main idea being not to stop using social media, but to be more strategic in the way that it is used. For example, in the past, Matti believes that social

media tools were used to grow relationship through the likes of discussion groups based around a shared interest. Now, however, we tend to use the likes of Instagram and Facebook as snapshots only of the very best bits of our lives. Essentially, a planned approach is a good one. Think about what you want to do with various tools, such as sharing a good news story every day on Facebook or use LinkedIn as a means of sharing something you have learned on a daily basis. Also, remember to use it for fun too, such as sharing videos of dogs riding surfboards, as others are certain to enjoy watching the same thing, but just don’t spend hours of your day doing so.

Thinking long-term

immediacy of short-term thinking benefits we often overlook the benefits of what can happen if we plan ahead to either avoid damaging consequences or to benefit from decisions made. Examples include eating well and giving up smoking. With eating well, we can potentially add years to our lives; in regard to giving up smoking, this will also potentially add years to a life. However, because neither benefits us immediately, there will be many who will choose to have the extra slice of stuffed crust pizza or the cigarette with the cup of coffee.

situation, location, financial position, or just about any other factor, we are never too old to start learning something new. In his book The Success Principles, author Jack Canfield shares the story of a woman who starts a local college geology course in her 60s. She then eventually goes on to become a teacher in the subject. While geology may not excite you, the possibility of what this person has done should. Your interest could be in anything, from computer coding, to oil painting. For learning new things, we have access to the tools and information that are available to us now, be it YouTube videos, a book from your local library, a local club, or a night

In her new book, The Atlas of Happiness, author Helen Russell shares ideas from around the world on what makes people happy. An interesting thing about the book is the way in which people adapt to where they are to make the most of their environment to find ways and means to be happy. For example, the Danish concept of Hygge is all about being cozy; with Denmark being a country of cold winters, this fits perfectly. In an interview on Radio New Zealand, Helen shares one idea that is applicable anywhere, regardless of the environment, this being to look after the environment itself. She has found a strong correlation between those countries with strong environmental standards and the happiness of the people. From this, we can take action in our own lives, knowing that taking care of the environment at an individual level, essentially sweeping our own porch, will not only make where we live a nicer place to be, it will also make us happier!

5G threatens rural broadband Gianina Schwanecke

The introduction of a 5G mobile network could threaten rural broadband, say the Wireless Internet Service Providers Association of New Zealand [WISPA]. Wireless internet service providers [WISPs] provide broadband to around 70,000 business and homes through spectrum allocations. President Mike Smith says there is a “real risk” the government may reallocate some of the spectrum currently used to provide broadband for rural customers, to big mobile phone companies for the development of a 5G network. “For WISPs less spectrum could mean having to either incur the cost of a whole lot of additional towers to service the current customer base or discontinue service to some customers completely.” He recognised that a 5G network would be an improvement but is doubtful that rural communities will benefit from the development for at least a decade, if ever. “For sure, 5G will be a step forward – just as 2G, 3G and 4G have been in their day.” His concerns are shared

WizWireless chief executive Bridget Canning outside the offices in Masterton. PHOTO/FILE

by Bridget Canning from Wairarapa’s WIZWireless, which specialising in providing wireless broadband for rural users. “It certainly is a concern for rural people.” Though 5G was a “great idea in theory”, she worried that those in the rural community would miss out as a result. “In cities they will develop applications for 5G, but we really can’t see anything happening on the farms or even in small towns. “For them to get more, someone else has to have less. Something is going to be lost,” she said. The current 4G service available is described as a network which operates on internet technology and combines it with other applications and technologies such as WiFi, connecting to a mobile network with a SIM card.

The new 5G promises to be much faster. In comparison, fixed broadband doesn’t rely on a cellular network like your phone and instead requires line of sight access between the subscriber and radio repeater. Canning said their spectrum was “invaluable”, with their current network covering areas in the Wairarapa and Tararua districts. “In our radio network, every tower and every device in every house uses radio signals of one sort of another. “Your mobile phone can go over a big distance but not with a lot of data and speed. The wireless systems go the opposite way – they can give you lots of data and lots of speed.” She said losing spectrum would make the job more difficult and they’d have to come up with another solution, which could mean investing in more towers or even turning off services in some areas. Allocation of spectrum is overseen by the Radio Spectrum Management branch under the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment. WISPA is calling on the government for a full public consultation before any decisions are made around reallocation.

Rural support for the Cancer Society

The Cancer Society has been chosen for the PGG Wrightson Cash for Communities scheme this year. Farmers register their farm to be part of the promotion and for every tonne of farm fertiliser they buy from Ballance, one dollar will be donated to the Cancer Society. Wairarapa Cancer Society manager Jacinta Buchanan said she was

“excited to work with PGG Wrightson on this initiative and to raise funds to deliver services back into these rural communities”. “Our support services alone touch the lives of around 200 families a year in the Wairarapa.” She said the Cancer Society provided programmes and services to the next generation, such as the free SunSmart schools programme that

rural schools can take part in. They also provide accommodation that people from rural communities can travel to when they need to go to travel some distance away to receive cancer treatments. In 2018, people used Cancer Society accommodation over 40,000 bed nights around the country and had almost 9,000 calls to the cancer

information line 0800 226 237. PGG Wrightson national sales manager Richard Weightman said the company was “delighted to be working with the Cancer Society to help raise funds and support all of the care their volunteers and staff offer to the rural community”. “With the help of PGG Wrightson customers, more than $500,000 has been

raised for New Zealand charities and organisations since 2011 through the Cash for Communities programme. “If you’re a PGG Wrightson client and want to support us this way, go to www. cashforcommunities.co.nz.” The programme is running again this spring, and the Cancer Society is one of the charities we will contribute towards.”

Sean Richards, call centre manager for Powershop.

PHOTO/EMILY IRELAND

Power to young professionals Emily Ireland When it comes to building a successful career, you’ve got to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. That’s the message Sean Richards has for young Wairarapa professionals following his achievement of being one of three finalists for Young Energy Professional of the Year in the Deloitte Energy Excellence Awards. Richards, 28, is the call centre manager of Powershop which employs about 110 staff in its Masterton hub in Kuripuni. He’s been in the energy game since 2009 when he started his working as a call centre agent with Powershop when the Masterton-based call centre first opened. “I started when I was 18. “Before that, I worked at National Bank for a gateway programme while I was in school. “[At Powershop] I gradually progressed and moved up the ranks here to manage the site.” Richards, who is Masterton born and bred, said his job was to make sure “all the wheels were turning” at the call centre, which services New Zealand and Australia.

“I make sure we are providing best in class service. “There’s lots of stress, but I handle stress quite well.” At 28 years old, Richards is on the younger side of the “young energy professional” category, which is classed as anyone under the age of 40 working in the industry. He said his work ethic and Powershop’s business structure had enabled him to grow his career. “This is a big office for Masterton. “Every manager in here has started from the bottom. “They’ve all worked their way up to becoming managers, so there’s massive career development potential at Powershop.” He said the key to being a manager was to “build an environment people want to succeed in”. “It’s a weird saying, but you have to try to make the work environment fun, otherwise the opposite of fun is boredom, and you don’t want bored staff. “Make [work] enjoyable for them and create an environment where they can build and grow their own careers.”

To succeed, Richards said you have to care about what you do and take ownership of it. “It’s not luck that you get somewhere or do something – it’s the result of hard work and taking chances. “If you are interested in something, put the work in. “If you don’t succeed, the only person responsible for that is yourself.” Powershop involved Richards in a workshop led by forensic psychiatrist Dr Ceri Evans where he learned about stress management and working under pressure. “You understand pressure quite well because you know all the stages of anxiety and what you’re feeling, and what’s happening inside your own body that helps in dealing with stress. “Pressure is what creates your movement – you’ve got to be comfortable being uncomfortable. “As soon as you understand and accept that, stress isn’t so bad.” The awards will be held in Auckland on August 21. Powershop has also been nominated for Consumer NZ Energy Retailer of the Year.

Moore Wilson’s redevelopment to the

Moore Wilson’s last week briefed staff on a proposal to redevelop its entire Masterton site on Dixon St, demolishing some buildings and building a new standalone hospitality and gourmet food store. The family-owned cash and carry business will also invest in a new wine, beer, spirits store, and new fridges and freezers for the foodservice warehouse. A decision on moving forward with the proposal will be made in the coming weeks, director Julie Moore, who is a member of the third generation of the family, said. The redevelopment was

a proposal at this stage, and they would talk more about it, she said. If the proposal goes ahead, and got all the necessary permissions, some demolition and changes to existing departments would take place in the coming months. The business would continue to trade out of the existing foodservice cash and carry and wine, beer, spirits departments throughout the redevelopment, expected to take a year to 18 months. Entrances, car parking and interiors are included in the plans.

“We are very much committed to Wairarapa and we have been for a long time,” Moore said. The company started in Masterton on the site of Cameron’s Service Station in 1944, according to its website, and at one time owned a travel business in the town. A fresh category was introduced at Moore Wilson’s Masterton in 2002. The company celebrated 100 years in business in 2018 and two years earlier the Moore Wilson’s were inducted into the Wellington Region Business Hall of Fame.

Difficulties hearing? A build-up of ear wax can lead to decreased hearing, blocked sensation and tinnitus, amongst other symptoms.

Ear wax removal by micro-suctioning. The safe and efficient way. Getting to vital health appointments can be difficult and stressful for those patients who are too unwell to drive or access transport options. St John understands this, and since 2008 has operated a health shuttle service in Pahiatua. The need for this service has increased over the years, and in 2015 a Wairarapa service was added. St John Health Shuttle is a free community service that transports people to essential prearranged medical and health-related appointments, and then brings them home again. These appointments can be to a doctor, dentist, eye appointment, physio, hearing, specialists and hospital for outpatient visits or minor day surgery. There is no charge for shuttle transport, however a donation is appreciated to cover costs. The Health Shuttle service in Wairarapa and Pahiatua has continued to grow over the years, and in the last year 37 dedicated volunteers in these communities have donated their time to those needing this essential service.

The long drought is over for Twelve tries and two hattricks. TimesAge sportswriter CHRIS COGDALE reviews Saturday’s entertaining Tui Cup final.

Sport

RUGBY

The 28-year drought is over for Martinborough. For the first time since 1991, the proud club lifted the Tui Cup with a 36-32 win over Gladstone in a pulsating premier club final at Memorial Park on Saturday. But the final result was no indication of how the game started. Two-time defending champions Gladstone set the tone for the game, looking to spread the ball from the first whistle. A half-break by livewire halfback Inia Katia split the Martinborough defence, with powerful No. 8 Joe Tako scoring the first of his three tries from the ensuing breakdown with just 72 seconds on the clock. Gladdy were in again in the sixth minute when Tako swept onto a loose ball from a Martinborough knock-on to send winger Logan Prendeville-

Tipene Haira [left] and Martinborough captain Jono Hartnell [right] hold the Tui Cup aloft.

Heberton away to score in the corner and increase the lead to 10-0. Marty hit back four minutes later when they took a quick tap, big second-five Nikora Ewe bursting through the defence, passing to firstfive Tim Priest, who went one way and then the other before passing to Marty’s own hat-trick hero big lock George Bunnett, who crashed over to cut the deficit to 10-5. The margin was soon back out to 10 points when Tako scored his second try after 14 minutes. At the same time, Gladdy lost their goal

kicker first-five Tim Griffith to an ankle injury and he was replaced by Jeremy Osborne. The signs were looking good for Gladstone as they were running the ball at will and making a lot of ground against a hesitant Martinborough defence. But it was the green and blacks who scored next as they slowly started to gain ascendancy in the forwards. Hot on attack they opted for a scrum 10 metres out. Several phases later blindside flanker Nathan Kapene muscled his way over the tryline, and with Tipene Haira converting the score was 15-12 after

only 19 minutes of play. The try-fest continued three minutes later when Tako completed his hat-trick following a scintillating 40m run by fullback Harry Eschenbach. Then there was the rare sight of Osborne’s conversion attempt being charged down. Gladdy went close to extending their lead, only for flanker Ryan Knell to be tackled just short of the line. Their lack of a quality goalkicker was again exposed with Osborne missing an easy penalty from 28m in front. Martinborough upped the ante in the forwards

and began to gain the territorial advantage. Despite being awarded a couple of kickable penalties, they opted for quick taps or scrums to keep the pressure on the Gladstone defence. Their patience was finally rewarded in the last play before halftime, with Bunnett scoring under the post to cut Gladdy’s lead to one point. There was also another pivotal moment with Tako going from hero to zero, being yellow carded for a late tackle in the movement leading up to the try. The second half started almost the same as the first

crossed for his second try — but by then the game was well and truly gone. All that was left was a rousing haka by the Martinborough senior reserve players as the champions moved to the podium to receive their medals and the prized Tui Cup. For the winners, the entire forward pack were magnificent, while in the backs Tim Priest directed play superbly, Ewe was full of running and centre Haira showed his maturity in organising his defensive line after a shaky start. For Gladstone, Katia was his usual nuisance at halfback with his jinking runs and clever kicking, Tako was big powerful runner, and PrendevilleHeberton took his opportunities well. But in the end the lack of a reliable goalkicker did not help their cause.

No. 8 Logan Flutey gets the ball on the line to extend Martinborough’s lead to 31-20.

with Gladstone attacking. Eschenbach easily brushed aside a feeble Nathan Hunt tackle, before being held up over the line. Martinborough’s oneman advantage was soon two, when flanker Eddie Cranston was sin-binned for a professional foul close to the line. Lock Toby Rowlands scored from the quick tap to give the green and blacks a 24-20 lead. No. 8 Logan Flutey was the next to get his name on the scoresheet when the Gladstone scrum crumbled on their own line, meaning Marty had scored 12 points in the 17 minutes Gladstone had players in the bin.

By this stage the southern boys were well on top and the lead was soon 16 points and a 36-20 scoreline after Bunnett crossed for his hat-trick. Gladstone gave themselves some hope when Knell scored with 10 minutes to play, narrowing the gap to 11 points. But the Martinborough forwards rolled up their sleeves and denied Gladstone possession. Whatever ball Gladdy did get, they spun it wide but they were unable to break the stubborn Marty defence until the last move of the game when Prendeville-Heberton
