All about autism Emily Ireland One in 66 people in New Zealand has Autism Spectrum Disorder. With Wairarapa’s population, that equates to about 650 people living with autism – and a local organisation, Autism Wairarapa, is doing its part to support affected individuals and their families with the challenges they face. This week is Autism Awareness Week, running until April 7, and Autism Wairarapa support coordinator Wendy Lowe is hoping to shed light on the disorder locally, and the support they offer. World Autism Awareness day was April 2. Autism Wairarapa Charitable Trust was set up in 2014. As support coordinator, Wendy runs monthly support groups for parents, a kids’ gym programme, and designs resources for parents wanting to teach their child with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) a new skill or behaviour. Wendy, who is the mother of child with ASD said people needed to be educated about autism and have an understanding of how it impacts on everyday life. According to KidsHealth, ASD is a developmental disorder that affects communication, social skills and behaviour. Children with ASD interpret the world and what is happening around them differently than other children. “It takes a village to raise a child – that is so true – particularly for our children,” Wendy said. But sometimes, running public errands can be a daunting task for kids who have

autism, and their family. “The whole supermarket experience for example is such a sensory experience – there’s music going, lights, business, trolleys and beeping, things on the shelves. “It can be overwhelming for our children.” She said this feeling of being overwhelmed often resulted in a “meltdown” “When I talk about meltdown, it means when they are in a state that is uncontrollable – you just need to ensure that they are safe. “It would be great for people in the public to be aware … it’s unbelievable what people say to our parents like – oh you have a naughty child. “What you see isn’t always what you think.” Wendy said getting access to services was a “challenging area”. “We have limited services in the Wairarapa, but in terms of when you are in crisis and would expect someone to be there for you that day, not ﬁve weeks down the track, there’s a gap. “This is the dilemma some of our parents are facing.” An early diagnosis is the best start a child with autism can get, Wendy said. Early signs of autism in 1-3-year-olds includes: having diﬃculty continuing eye contact, not responding to a Continued on page 4

Sound bath experience begins Emily Ireland Wairarapa musicians Holly and Zac Winterwood are starting out on a quirky music venture – one which has already been wellreceived by the community before it has even launched. The couple, who moved to Wairarapa from Melbourne in 2015, are leading a meditative music experience called a sound bath – but in their own unique way. Sound baths are an ancient wellness practice using instruments like singing bowls, chimes, and gongs that immerse a person is a “bath of sound”. It has been used as a stress relief method in Tibet for more than 2000 years. Holly and Zac’s venture hopes to provide the same outcome – but they’ll be using a mix of modern and ancient instruments and their experience in music theory and practice. The pair have extensive music training, with Holly being classically trained in opera performing with Opera Australia before shifting to New Zealand. “We’ve always been interested in mindfulness and meditation, but last

year, we just thought this type of music would be a cool thing to do live,” Holly said. “As performers, we’ve always craved the environment that suits our music. “A lot of the time the environments are pubs and cafes. “We’ve done those gigs

and you can’t even hear the music.” Winterwood Sound Immersions, the name of the sound bath, will be held throughout this month at Bodymind Pilates studio – all of their free sessions are already fully booked and the waiting list for future paid sessions is bursting at the seams.

“When we first came up with the concept of this live music experience for people, we hadn’t actually heard of term sound bath. “We thought, what we would love to do is get people in a space and take them on a journey through the music; create a mood and feeling for people in an environment that has

no distractions.” Featuring in their sound bath are bells, chimes, electric guitar, violin, percussion, flute, and a Tibetan singing bowl among other instruments. There will also be environmental sounds like wind, rain, and birds. Everything will be played live by the pair,

with the exception of some guitar which will be looped, and environmental sounds. Zac said as they played the music, people would be lying down on yoga mats with a cover over their eyes – both are supplied for the session. “Sometimes people go through technology withdrawals right at the start because people don’t take the time to just relax. “Generally, when people relax, they are watching TV, reading or they’re listening to songs – it’s all still taking in and processing information. “People need to learn to be okay doing nothing and we want to make that something really easy – all you have to do is turn up and lay down.” Holly and Zac plan the instruments and key of the music before the performance, but other than that, the experience is left to the couple’s improvisation skills. • For more information on their new venture, visit Winterwood Sound Immersions on Facebook, email hwinterwood@gmail. com, or call 027 952 8336.

Sewing group faces closure Gianina Schwanecke Nestled in ‘Rose Cottage’ in Masterton’s Queen Elizabeth Park, surrounded by more than 120 working vintage sewing machines, Heather Bannister has been teaching people how to sew — but without a new source of funding to cover rental costs, closure looms. What began as a home for her collection of antique sewing machines, has grown into a vibrant community hub. “People talk about cottage magic. It’s become so much more,” said Bannister, who runs the Come Sew with

Me programme. Hundreds of people pass through her doors to admire the collection or learn how to sew during the weekday workshop sessions. Ages range from just four years old, to women in their 90s who are well-versed in the vintage machines. Come Sew with Me launched in December 2017, funded by the Urban Dream Brokerage programme. However, they had recently pulled out of the region and application for funding from the Lotteries Commission had not been successful, placing

the financial burden on Bannister herself. The cost of operating was generally low, limited to power for the stove and lights – sewing supplies are donated and most of the machines are operated by a hand crank. “We get a lot of fabric donations,” she said. “The difficulty we have is in paying for the rent.” The Masterton District Council charges $1000 a month in rent for the park location. One of the barriers to funding is that Come Sew with Me is not a registered charity. Bannister said she had explored that option

but did not want to lose control of her antique sewing machine collection to a charitable trust. “I did look at it before but then it would all belong to the charity.” She had also considered charging her loyal followers but couldn’t bear to turn people away – entry is by koha only. “The people who need it most are the people who haven’t got the money to pay. “Men, women and children of all ages and abilities have and continue to benefit from coming to sew with me where they regain self-worth and tap into their creative ability

by learning a new craft.” Bannister said she would be sad to leave the location but could no longer afford to pay the rent alone. “I’ll stay as long as I can but at the end of the month, I’ll be making

The Lansdowne Park Residents’ Choir sung a mix of folk and ANZAC songs.

PHOTOS/EMILY IRELAND

Choral music takes centre stage Emily Ireland It was a full house at The Landing at Lansdowne Park on Monday as the aged care facility’s resident choir belted out some classic tunes. The Lansdowne Park Residents’ Choir have been singing together for about a year with the help of choir pianist and administrator Christine Wratt and choir director Deborah Percy. Christine is Lansdowne Park’s diversional therapist and said she had a vision five years ago when she started working there about a residents’ choir – “because I know music, especially singing,

including Georgy Girl, and The Carnival is Over. During the intermission, young Masterton musicians Jerome Lopa, 16, and his sister Lynnal,

10, sung hits from Shania Twain and Beyonce. The residents’ choir came back to perform ANZAC songs like Comin’ in on a Wing and a Prayer

and closed with We’ll Meet Again – members of the crowd joined in with this one. Sitting in the crowd was Tristan Saunders, the general manager of marketing and sales for Arvida Group which runs the facility. He drove from Waikanae to Palmerston North that morning, and back to Masterton to be there for the concert. “What a wonderful sound and you look darned smart too in the uniforms,” he said. “Music moves you – it doesn’t matter if you are young, old, or middle aged.”

Early diagnosis is the best start for autism Continued from page 1 person’s happiness or distress, finding it hard to communicate wants, and showing unusual movement patterns such as hand flapping or walking on toes. Ultimately, a diagnosis must be made by a medical professional in order to receive support. Sometimes, parents found it a challenge being listened to at various appointments, Wendy said.

In those cases, she offers advocacy and support. Once a diagnosis is made, Autism Wairarapa can assist in connecting families up with support services locally. “It’s amazing how many people aren’t aware of what they are entitled to and don’t get,’ she said. “Are they getting the child disability allowance? “If your child is on medication, are you getting support from Work and Income?

“Are you getting help through FOCUS our local needs assessment agency? “Do they know about riding for the disabled? “Do they need a support worker. “My passion is to look at the big picture.” Developmental paediatrician Dr Paul Taylor likens ASD to having a “different operating system”. “He compares it to Microsoft and Apple – they both run differently, but

neither one is better than the other – just different,” Wendy said. She said children with ASD had brilliant qualities. “The kids I have had the pleasure of meeting and working with – how their brain functions and the abilities they have is absolutely fascinating. “They’re loyal, they tell the truth, they’re very honest and trustworthy. “And if they have an interest, they are incredibly talented

in recalling facts and information, and they often have a photographic memory.” Wendy said each person in the community had a purpose. “We all like to have a purpose, we all like to be loved and have a connection with people, and yes, the whole social thing can be difficult for people on the spectrum, but we all have a place. “Even people who may not be able to verbalise, it’s

even more so important that we connect and understand what interests they have and encourage their talents.” Although Autism Awareness week ends on April 7, Autism Awareness Month runs throughout April. • Autism Wairarapa is located at 392 Queen St Masterton. • They can be contacted on 06 3704590, autismwairarapa@ gmail.com or Facebook.

Police at the car crash on a bend at Te Whiti Rd, Masterton, last week. PHOTO/ELI HILL

Hayley Gastmeier The body of missing 21-year-old army gunner Andrew Rance was found in his crashed BMW in a deep culvert on Te Whiti Rd east of Masterton last Tuesday afternoon. While police have yet to confirm cause of death, it seems likely that Rance, reported missing after attending a wedding in Gladstone on Saturday night, is Wairarapa’s third road fatality of the year. Rance, based in Linton, was reported missing last Monday and his black BMW was discovered on Tuesday afternoon. He was last seen around midnight on the Saturday leaving the wedding on Gladstone Rd. When he did not show up for work on Monday, his family alerted police, who put out a missing person report. Wairarapa police were notified of the missing man on Tuesday, a few hours before his vehicle was located. The New Zealand Defence Force [NZDF] has confirmed Rance was a gunner in the 16th Field Regiment, Royal New Zealand Artillery. His family is from Southland. Wairarapa response manager Senior Sergeant Jennifer Hansen said Rance’s vehicle would not have been “immediately

visible” from the road. “A member of the public who was aware of his disappearance located his vehicle on Te Whiti Rd and they notified the local police.” She said the Serious Crash Unit was investigating. It was too early to confirm the cause of death or rule out anything suspicious, she said, but “early indications” suggested he had died as a result of a car crash. Police could not confirm at the time whether alcohol had been a factor. Hansen said police enquiries were continuing, and Linton police were liaising with Rance’s family. Rance’s vehicle was found in a ditch on a corner after a straight stretch of road that was unlit with street lights. Wairarapa Road Safety Council manager Bruce

Pauling said this appeared to be the third fatal crash for the region this year. “It’s tragic for the community, it’s tragic for the family.” PJ Hawkins, a shearer known as Jox, was killed on his way to work on January 16 in a single vehicle accident on Millars Rd, in rural Carterton. Craig Shields died as the result of a crash between his vehicle and a logging truck on the Tauherenikau bridge on January 29. There was a total of six fatal car crashes in Wairarapa last year. Pauling said, “all of those road crashes were preventable”. “We need to adhere to the same old principles of driving to the conditions at all times, adjusting your speed, wearing seatbelts, and of course, not drink driving.” A NZDF spokesperson said Rance enlisted into the New Zealand Army in August 2015. He was awarded the NZ Defence Service Medal Regular Force Clasp in August 2018. “He was a passionate ﬁeld soldier and conducted numerous exercises including working with 5th ANGLICO, United States Marine Corp, in Alaska. “Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this tragic time,” the spokesperson said.

Kuranui band set to jazz it up Seven students from Kuranui College will be attending the annual National Youth Jazz Competition held in Tauranga this week. The competition will feature bands from across the country and Kuranui music teacher Saali Marks believes it will be a wonderful opportunity for the young musicians. “As a fairly new band, I thought it would be a fantastic chance for our band members to see what other schools from outside of the Wairarapa are up to, and hopefully give them something to aspire to. “They’ll meet some other young jazz musos and get a chance to strut their stuff.” The Kuranui jazz combo is called Kikorangi, meaning ‘Blue’ – in a reference to the roots of jazz music, the blues, Marks said. The band have quickly reached their fundraising goal of $2,000. “We owe a special thanks to the Acorn Trust, who have contributed to our travel costs to help us get to the competition, Marks said. “We have also been doing some furious fundraising, and the band has already performed

for me as an individual, and the band as well. Good exposure, and a lot of fun!” Hartley has been interested in music since a young age but wasn’t interested in lessons until starting Kuranui College’s IGNITE program. “I guess I just started listening to music a lot more and wondered how to make it.

“I was really little at the time, and I bought myself one of those tiny little guitars and I’ve just played ever since. I’ve never taken lessons, I’ve just taught myself. “Guitar was my first instrument, and probably my best one, considering I’m still quite new to saxophone, but I’m really learning to love it.” Hartley believes the

passion and skill of the teachers at the college, and in particular Marks, has helped the band come this far. “The one musician we look upon like our idol is Mr Marks. He’s pushed us and we’ve done really well I reckon, everyone is getting along and it’s sounding really good.” Hartley’s confidence embodies a keen Kuranui spirit, thinking of the festival as an opportunity to perform to the best of his ability, and learn everything he can. “We sound really good, and I’m pretty sure we’ll ace it. “I think it will be great to see other people and how they perform, their style and skill, and just to learn off that,” he said. Kikorangi are: Sasha Francis-Murray (Drums), Amethyst Sutherland (Bass), Ilias Hopkins (Guitar), Adam Butler (Alto Sax), Rowan Higgins (Alto Sax), Alex Hartley (Alto Sax) and Ririn Takana (Flute). • The 42nd National Youth Jazz Competition runs Friday April 5 to Saturday April 6, at Baycourt Community and Arts Centre, Tauranga.

Bending truths in feature films Comment

Graeme Burnard We are regular movie goers and two recent ones, Mary Queen of Scots and The Favourite we really enjoyed. One about a famous Queen and one about an unknown Queen. As soon as Mary spoke in the opening scene, I knew this was not going to be an accurate account of her life. Mary was taken to France for protection as a very small child and was raised in the French Royal Palace. Returning to Scotland to claim her rightful throne at aged 18 (where the movie starts), she would not have had a broad Scottish accent. She would not have had rows of rings in her ears. That wasn’t fashionable in that era. Attendants close to her would not have been Chinese or Puerto Rican as shown in the movie, but worst of all was the scene where Mary and Queen Elizabeth met in a small cottage in an English forest. This never happened.

The two Queens never met. Mary did go to England, but she was imprisoned for 19 years and then executed. In The Favourite, Queen Anne is always shown alone in her room but in fact she had a very close loving relationship with her husband. So much so, she endured 17 pregnancies (hubby doesn’t even get a mention in the movie. Maybe he was having a lie down to gain his strength!). Sadly, all her children predeceased her. Many at childbirth, four before the age of 2 and the oldest at 11 years old. She never kept 17 rabbits in her room as children replacements as per the movie. Rabbits were not kept as pets at that time and were only used for food. Costumes, props and the artwork around the palace were all inaccurate. And there was no evidence that she had a lesbian relationship with

either Lady Sarah Hill or Abigail Hill. The Sound of Music is a true story about Maria Von Trapp. In reality she was employed to tutor one sick child, not all of them. In the movie, the children’s names were changed. And again, in reality, they did not escape the Germans by walking over

the Alps. That would have taken them directly into Nazi Germany. They actually went by train to Italy! Braveheart is another. William Wallace in reality, did not have an affair with Princess Isabella. She would have been three at the time.

IMAGE/FOCUS FEATURES

And the tartan he wore to battle wasn’t designed until 300 years after the movie takes place. The Butler is a wonderful story about a black man who served as butler to eight presidents at the White House. In the film he is shown as having two sons, one who dies in action. He actually had one son

who still lives. His wife is depicted as being a heavy drinker which is totally untrue and his meeting with President Obama never actually happened. I would have thought that if a true story was not interesting enough to film it as it actually was, then why bother doing it at all?

GARDEN

YARN

WITH

‘Tis the season to be gardening!

Autumn is such a wonderful time of the year—the mornings and evenings get cooler & hopefully rain will start to fall regularly which means it’s a busy busy time for gardeners, here’s some things to be done during April.

PLANT We can’t stress it enough—Autumn is Natures Natural Planting Time. Trees & shrubs planted now will grow stronger, faster & healthier. If you’ve been thinking of planting a new hedge, updating the shrub garden or creating a healthy home orchard now is the prime time to come and see us.

PLANT COLOUR Come and get your spring bulbs— once they’re gone they’re gone! Sweet peas can be sown.

PLANT & REPAIR LAWNS. April is the best month for sowing seed to get it ‘hardened’ before winter, so if you’re completely resowing or just doing patches come and get some quality grass seed. Revitalise your tired summer lawn by removing thatch; aerating compacted ground; regularly feeding, watering & mowing; dealing to lawn weeds before they take over. PLANT EDIBLES. Broad beans, brassicas, spinach, brussel sprouts, citrus + so much more. Low on room? We have vegepods and JUST ARRIVED IN - a new range of DWARF FRUIT TREES! PLANT GREEN/COVER CROPS. Any areas of the garden that won’t be used will benefit from this—if you’re not sure what it’s all about see www.mortonsmith-dawe.co.nz, or come in and see us.

Plant The 4 P’s. Polyanthus, Poppies, Primulas & Pansies are a perfect, inexpensive way to brighten your winter. These are easy to grow and look wonderful in hanging baskets, pots & the garden.

Choose your tree for Autumn Colour now. This hardy Nyssa Sylvatica (Black Gum) is spectacular and great value at only $29.90. Grows to approx 5m and is well suited to damp conditions.

FEED Fertilise vegies & flowers every few weeks with ican Fast Food. For all new plantings ican 24-Plus Slow Food is a good choice—it can be used for everything, including containers—and it only takes up the nutrients when it’s needed, for 2 years! Polyanthus & primulas are hungry feeders and love organic food such as Dried Blood (500g $8.00) or ican Real Blood & Bone. Citrus have a busy time ahead so feed them with Kings Citrus Food.

SPRAY There are still caterpillars & butterflies around so be vigilant and spray with Grosafe Bactur. Autumn growth is tempting for sap suckers such as aphids, thrips & white fly so stock up on Grosafe Enspray & Grosafe Free Flo Copper. These two products are natural insecticide & fungicide – a must have for the garden shed and great value.

PRUNE Deadhead roses & lavenders, trim hedges such as buxus, griselinia, pittosporums, teucrium. Remove ends of canes on summer fruiting raspberries, trim blackberries & boysenberries & blueberries after fruiting. Deadhead established roses, prune back flowering shrubs that have finished flowering (lavenders, hebes etc). After your blueberries & blackberries have finished fruiting prune these.

MOON CALENDAR NEW MOON - April 5TH FULL MOON - April 19TH

MOON PLANTING TIPS THIS WEEK April 3 – 7

There is a busy fertile period ahead, so start preparing soil, applying compost and watering dry areas so you are all ready to sow.

April 8 – 15

Sow & plant vegies & flowers. Start brassica seeds (protect young seedlings with cloches) & plant broad beans now. Keep the water up on newly planted seed to ensure it strikes.

WIN A $

EVERY VOUCHE5R0 DAY A VIP CUSTOMER WHO HAS SHOPPED WITH US WINS A $50 GARDENBARN VOUCHER. COULD IT BE YOU?

DO YOU ONLY HAVE ONE FRUIT OR CITRUS TREE? This slow release food will feed one plant for 3 months and there’s enough in a 100g packet for up to 4 plants! At only $3.90 that’s incredible value.

Harvest pumpkins & other cucurbits and cut back old plants. Pick mature pumpkins with an 8 – 10cm length of stalk and leave in the sun to harden before storing. Mound soil around white, or place toilet rolls around, to encourage more whites. If you have spuds left in the ground dig these up and store out of direct sunlight.

Carterton

Residents share their views Carterton residents really like the events centre and library but are much grumpier about kerbside recycling than they used to be. In a satisfaction survey for 2018, 89 per cent of residents were either satisfied or very satisfied with the events centre, up from 87 per cent in 2017. The library did better at 93 per cent satisfaction, up from the previous year’s 89 per cent and the swimming pools had a 74 per cent satisfaction rating. Carterton at least managed to open its summer lido pool, whereas Masterton did not. Satisfaction with waste management dropped to 73 per cent from 74 per cent and the big mover

was kerb recycling, which fell to 70 per cent from 78 per cent. Work is being done by all three Wairarapa councils to provide

residents across the region with increased capacity via a recycling wheelie bin rollout later this year, the council says. Cleanliness of streets

dipped to 80 per cent from 81 per cent and the council was quick to point out it has recently invested in a new piece of equipment which will make the

footpath cleaning easier and more efficient. The findings show at an overall level, 63 per cent of residents are either satisfied or very satisfied with the council’s facilities and activities. This figure is down on the previous year’s figure of 67 per cent, but work is already under way to improve in the areas highlighted. Carterton Mayor John Booth said it was good to hear feedback from residents about the council’s performance. “It’s great to hear our residents are still enjoying our state-of-the art Events Centre which is considered to be one of the top small venues in the country,” Booth said.

Carterton becomes Wonderland On Saturday night at 7.30pm, the Carterton Events Centre will play host to Melbourne City Ballet’s Alice in Wonderland. Two of Australia’s leading Choreographers, Melbourne City Ballet’s Michael Pappalardo (artistic director) and Brendan Bradshaw

(artistic associate), collaborate to pay homage to the well-known novel by Lewis Carroll, “Alice In Wonderland”. The ballet complimented by a Tchaikovsky’s arrangement “Alice In Wonderland” tells the story of a young girl who is whisked away to a magical world of wonder.

KEEP ACTIVE DURING AUTUMN

Time to get ready for winter! Winter is on its way with shorter days, colder nights and the usual rounds of winter colds and illness. There are lots of things you can do now to help stay well during the colder months. The seasons may be changing but autumn is still a good time to get out and be active. Keeping active can help to:

Here are some tips to get you and your family ‘winter ready’:

n Get a flu vaccination – it’s one of the best ways to stay well.

n prevent winter illness

n Stock up on any regular medication – always have a week’s supply on hand. Check you have a ready supply of asthma inhalers, including some at work and school.

n reduce your stress levels n give you more energy n keep warm n lift your mood

n Keep you and your home warm – check doors and windows for gaps that could cause draughts. n Wash and dry your hands thoroughly – to help keep the germs away. n If you’re playing winter sport – remember to warm up before games and cool down and stretch afterwards. Drink water before, during and after games.

n clear your mind and change how you see a problem.

n Have a pre-winter health check – make an appointment to see your doctor or practice nurse if you haven’t had a recent check-up.

n Avoid slips, trips and falls – check paths and driveways for moss or plants that need trimming.

Medical Centre After Hours Service

12 Wairarapa Midweek Opinion Wednesday, April 3, 2019 EDITORIAL

MIDWEEK PHOTOS

This week, I feel like I should go through some of my past editorials and take my own advice – it’s going to be a tough time ahead. You see, today I’ll be on a plane headed to the Gold Coast to be with a best friend whose father is dying. Coping with loss is an overwhelming thing – I think losing a loved one is the hardest thing anyone has to go through in this life. You don’t ever “get over it”, you don’t really “move on”. It changes your life, but you find a new way of living with the heartache – you cope. The word cope is defined as dealing effectively with something difficult; and as a friend, I’ll be doing all I can to help my friend “cope”. It’s the very least we can do for each other as people – to offer support, a shoulder to cry on. And as heart-breaking as this time is in a person’s life, it’s also a time where

This could be from something as simple as helping someone to cross the road, to asking a neighbour if they need a hand with anything. With Autism Awareness Month being recognised this month, perhaps it’s an opportunity to ask a parent of a child with Autism Spectrum Disorder how they are going. Be that support for them.

your own children about autism so they may come to understand why some of their peers interact differently. Perhaps when you see a parent with a child having a meltdown at the supermarket, you can ask if they are alright instead of making misinformed comments about the child’s behaviour. We’re all in this together and nobody makes it out of this world alive. So, while we are all here, let’s make the ride worthwhile and give each other as much love and compassion as we can. My colleagues at the Times-Age will be overseeing the Midweek until I return. You can contact them on midweek@age.co.nz.

Ratepayer opposes Masterton water meters I am the ratepayer who had a say at the infrastructural services committee. My issues were about addressing the committee on recommending Masterton District Council (MDC) approve the installation of water meters. I said no one owns the water, no one has legal right to own the water. The Times-Age said I had said, ratepayers already pay for it. What I really said was ratepayers already pay for

that infrastructure MDC said water meters will help conserve water, yet mass irrigating pumping out mass water across the district. This is not conserving water. Carterton Mayor John Booth said in the paper on February 12, that he was asking his community to help conserve water. How long has Carterton had water meters? So, we see water meters are not and do not help to conserve water. MDC has said water

meters will help pay for infrastructure. Ratepayers have always paid for infrastructure. MDC only own the way in which we receive the supply of water, upkeep and maintenance of pipes and renewal of infrastructure. Out of a thousand ratepayers, where is the money MDC that we, the ratepayers, have been paying for this infrastructure? Who do we hold account for this? MDC also said that

MATS Junior Theatre Production

water meters will detect leaks in the pipes. Last time I checked it was a human being’s job. This is not the job of water meters. Installing water meters at $5 million and thousands to maintain outweigh the reason for installing them MDC. This is not wellness for our community. Water tanks are sustainable. Water meters are not sustainable. Sally Walker Masterton

MASTERTON TRAMPING CLUB

Extra

Rangiwahia Hut Trip Report On a Saturday morning in February, a group of Masterton Tramping Club members met up at the car park, collected last minute important items (newspaper to read), and sorted our transport. Maps and options on how to get to the road end were discussed and the teams set out. It was an interesting drive through rural countryside along terraced hills with views of the Manawatu windmills, valleys, and eventually our Ruahine range. The three car-loads met at the road end, organised packs, and set off along the benched track. This had a short steep section around an old slip, then a more regular zig zag track. We kept an eye out for the geo-cache items – but didn’t find either. The weather was a great temperature for the gentle climb, with the clouds keeping the heat at bay. A stop for lunch was well-timed – just before our downhill to the bendy bridge. The views into the valley were spectacular, across to the farmland and forest on the other side. There was plenty of horipito to munch on. We traversed the bridge and over the rocky sections

to continue up the zigzag. A tasty afternoon tea was eaten at the lookout seat before the final stretch past the waterfall and scrub to reach the hut. Bunks were claimed, cups of hot tea made, and photos of the magnificent view were taken. During the sunny patches, we sat outside, then huddled around the table inside to enjoy our shared nibbles – what a feast! There was also plenty of food for dinner and chocolate for dessert. Although there was some light drizzle during the night, the clouds and moisture cleared by the time we had eaten breakfast and packed up. The group was in good

spirits and made their way back down the track, stopping near the new slip for morning tea. A more concentrated effort was made to look for the geo-cache and a group effort on diagnosing the clues both written and visible (tidily placed logs). With lots of joy and excitement we checked out the cache, replaced and hid it, and continued to the car park. Again, our junior tramper analysed the clues and found the second cache. After lunch and cold drinks in the sun, the teams departed for home. On the trip were: Mike, Laura, Nick, Kay, Mia, Fuschia, Nell, Gen, Trevor and Sandra.

The scorpion is emerging This week we have the emergence of the scorpion after a summer break. But first, our attention may be taken by a morning apparition. You don’t have to be up at the crack of dawn these days to see a cracking morning sky display come April 7, that is Sunday morning, as the mornings will become an hour brighter for a while when daylight saving ends. Anyway, between now and Sunday, if you are out before 7am, you will get a great morning sky, with Venus, which has been prominent for a few weeks, being joined by planet Mercury. The closest planet to the sun is very elusive, due to that closeness. It is rarely out of the zone in the sky where it is not being washed out by sunlight. I’d bet 99.9 per cent of the world has never seen the first rock from the sun, but this week around 7am you will catch it just below the brilliant Venus over the eastern horizon. It should be a boredom relief for people standing on Featherston station waiting for the 7.05am train (leastways, they always look bored to me). If you can make it on the Thursday morning, and the sky is clear of course,

Rich star fields around Scorpius constellation.

Sky Watch

Nick Sault the skinniest moon you will ever see may be visible on the horizon below the two planets. Friday night is new moon, so if you do catch the moon Thursday morning, it will be as thin a crescent as one could normally see.

Back to the evening, the scorpion is rising. Look south-east. Scorpius is just rising about 9pm, but by 10pm, most of its arthropod body is laying along the south-east horizon with its brightest star, the red giant Antares, prominent almost

exactly south-east. On the totally opposite side of the sky, Orion the hunter, who has been most prominent through the summer evenings, is setting behind the ranges in the north-west. So, once again we face the one-hour interruption to our sleep patterns. Daylight saving ends 3am Sunday when the clocks go back an hour and we get an extra hour in bed that first morning. But we are in the days when daylight time is

diminishing at its fastest pace and it won’t take long to get back to mornings as dark as today’s. The rate of change slows as we get into May and June, but it is a shock at current times to feel night coming in earlier and earlier almost from day to day. So, why does the rate of change of daylight length vary in a set pattern? Let’s look at that another time. Up next: Moon butts the lion.

ADVERTORIAL

An interview with Cathy Davys

Hair Artist and Educator, by Allanah Avalon

walked out. If one gives you a niggly feeling, ask why.

Cathy Davys of Architectural Hair Education has had four decades of experience in Hair Design and has competed nationally and internationally, including representing New Zealand in the World Cup in Paris and London. Cathy has also won the Oceanic Masters.

I also believe it’s important to look back and forward and have your eyes wide open for what is changing, morphing, subtly in the fashion world. This keeps you current and continually investing in your own education to be the best.

In 2018, she received one of the highest awards within hairdressing; the IPSN – International Professional Standards Network award, for outstanding and significant contributions to the betterment of the Hair and Beauty industries.

AA What is your greatest strength as a Hairdresser and Educator?

CD I have a desire to help people be

the best version of themselves. I see the potential in them. Often they don’t see it in themselves, but I like to think if there is just one thing that I might say or do and suddenly the student has an ah ha moment when something clicks, my work is all worth it.

Cathy’s achievements show an unrelenting drive for education and for improving oneself whether on the salon floor or on the world stage. Cathy stands by the phrase ‘knowledge is everything – you can never stop learning.’ The outstanding talents of Cathy Davys are well recognised by the hairdressing industry. She brings a passion to her craft that is truly inspirational, to not only hairdressers, but also her clients.

With salon guests, I share what I am wanting to do and why. Sharing what face-shapes they have is a very powerful way of connecting. You’re gaining their trust, with your touch and professionalism. Be excited you have another human being in your chair for 60 minutes.

AA With such an illustrious career why are you starting Architectural Hair Education? CD Architectural Hair Education has been

born out of my desire to give back to other hairdressers, and to demonstrate to young hairdressers what this diverse and everchanging industry can offer. My belief is that you must have a strong foundation as a starting point for all your work, no matter what the work, your continued growth will not stumble or fall over. Hair design is architecture – if the foundation is not strong the house falls over. One of my educational programmes is called “Creative Intelligence” a two-day retreat. It has been designed to give hairdressers the confidence to go on the floor earlier, to ignite passion again in those who may have taken a break from the journey, and to train the future stylists to Mastery.

AA Your programmes look interesting and some are in unusual locations, can you tell me why? CD Recently my husband Ron and I

purchased a very large house in Wairarapa. I was born and grew up in this particular region, so for me, this is both coming home and giving back to the community I came from. Ron is a builder but transforms to the chef on the occasion of my workshops. The house and gardens are exceptional, there is a sense of peace and tranquillity, but also a quiet energy that absorbs all those who arrive there. I trialed two seminars here in

We are the psy-cosmetologists.

AA Last question, what have been some of the 2018 and the response and growth from the students was amazing. The students weren’t distracted by salon noise and phones, they experienced peace and creative learning.

Meet Kahurangi the kokako Dear Reader, If you’ve been to visit us at Pukaha, chances are good you’ve met Kahurangi, our resident superstar kokako. Kahurangi is a muchloved part of the Pukaha family and has been since here 2005. Kahurangi was found as a chick by a Department of Conservation ranger who saw that she wasn’t thriving and needed urgent help. Since then, she has become too attached to humans to be released into the wild. Instead, she is what we call an “advocacy bird”, introducing young and old, local and tourist alike to her species.

Here are some quick facts:

1. Have you heard Kahurangi wolf whistle?

Or say “kokako”? These aren’t normal bird expressions (Kahurangi is just special) however kokako are incredible song makers. They use their song to ‘duel’ with other birds and mark their territory – in fact, they have one of the longest bird songs in the world. 2. We know Kahurangi by her beautiful Maori name, kokako, but did you know that in English she is actually known as a bluewattled crow? 3. Kokako are wattle birds, alongside saddleback and huia. These birds are endemic to New Zealand which means that they are

found nowhere else on earth. 4. Maori legends say that a kokako

helped Maui when he fought the sun by filling its wattles with water. To say thank you, Maui blessed the bird with long legs so that it could easily hop through the forest. 5. South Island kokako are believed to be extinct. However there is a remote chance that some may still be around (this does happen – the takahe were once thought extinct too). Kokako are beautiful and we hope you think so. You can pop along any time to see Kahurangi at Pukaha or try the longer

St John looking for hearts of gold This year St John is asking Kiwis to have a “Heart of Gold” and make a difference. The annual appeal (April 1-7) captures the spirit of what St John is all about – having a heart, helping people in need and contributing to our communities. St John will be out in Wairarapa communities during this time collecting donations that help to fund our activities like the ones listed below with all money raised going towards St John community activities in the local area.

St John Youth St John Youth is New Zealand’s leading youth programme for young people aged from 6 to 18 years. Our programme focuses on teaching young people first aid, health care, leadership and life skills - all in a fun and engaging environment that encourages growth and discovery as well as fostering many friendships. Penguins learn a range of skills that help build confidence and teamwork in a fun environment, and from there transition to Cadets, where they learn first aid, leadership and other important life skills. Youth leaders (18+ years) facilitate the programme and have a key role in making a positive impact on our Youth.

Have a heart of gold. Support the St John Heart of Gold Annual Appeal.

If you or someone you know would benefit from the St John Health Shuttle service call 0800 589 630.

Caring Caller St John Caring Caller is a free telephone friendship service that puts people in touch regularly with someone who cares about them. It is not a helpline, but a friendship with a Caring Caller with similar interests and who is someone the client feels comfortable talking to. St John Caring Caller is just a phone call away. A friendly phone call with a trained St John Volunteer who cares can make such a difference to your day. You too can enjoy the friendship that St John Caring Caller can offer you. For more information phone 0800 589 630

It’s ideal for seniors who live alone, people with a physical disability or anyone with a health condition that might require emergency services.

2018 YEAR IN REVIEW • Trio Pohadka & Friends.

PHOTO/SUPPLIED

Doctors with instruments A group of talented doctors and musicians connected by a passion for music, friendship, and fighting cancer will be performing in Greytown on Sunday. The Greytown Music Group opens its 2019 concert programme at 2pm on Sunday April 7 with Trio Pohadka & Friends. Cancer is the leading cause of death in New Zealand, but due to the huge progress in cancer research, survival rates for many cancers have increased, with the University of Auckland Cancer Society Research Centre playing its part in this. The trio has raised close to $25,000 for the Cancer Society to date, and all proceeds from the Greytown concert will go towards cancer research. Their favourably reviewed CD, By Heart & Soul, will be available for purchase at the concert. The trio began its story when pianist and cancer research student, now doctor, Petr Tomek arrived in NZ from the Czech Republic in 2011 to pursue his PhD in Auckland. He met others with an

interest in cancer research and music, and so the group was formed. “Pohadka” means “fairy tale” in Petr’s native Czech language: it must seem like a fairy tale to the group that they can get huge enjoyment from playing music together and raise cancer research funds at the same time. The others in the trio are cellist Lisa Chung and clarinettist Ryan Cha. Lisa has a Doctorate in cello performance, has given solo recitals in Korea, Japan and NZ, and teaches cello. She and Petr were married in 2016. Ryan, who forsook a musical career for medicine despite winning awards for his clarinet and piano performances, has been a very keen member of the group, travelling round for concerts from Palmerston North, where he is a junior surgeon. Petr soon recognised that bigger is better and began inviting other musicians to perform with the trio – hence the “Friends”. Violinist HaeWon Kim played in orchestras in the UK, Japan and Spain, and is currently with Orchestra Wellington. She also teaches.

Ye Li is a final year medical student with a passion for playing the violin, and plays with Auckland Youth Orchestra. Violist Veronica Kim studied in Seoul and Auckland, teaches viola and violin, and is a freelance chamber musician. Double bass player William Taber, from Lake Ferry, who is studying the double bass at Victoria University, is very happy to replace the group’s usual bass player for this concert. The group will perform two of the most magnificent romantic chamber works, Schumann’s Piano Quintet in E flat major, and the Clarinet Trio in A minor by Brahms. By way of contrast, they will play Canadian composer Srul Glick’s Old Toronto Klezmer Suite, and two short pieces for clarinet, and cello. Trio Pohadka & Friends – Doctors with Instruments: 2pm on Sunday 7 April at 57 Wood St, Greytown. Admission $25, students $10. • For bookings, contact Ed and Juliet Cooke, phone 06 304 9497.

Fundraiser a hole in one Having been a competitive wood chopper some years ago, you’d think Roseanne Sayles would be more comfortable swinging an axe than a golf club. But that didn’t stop the Eketahuna School teacher from giving golf a go at the Eketahuna School Annual Golf Tournament last year. And she can’t wait to do it all over again on Sunday April 7. “It was such a great day out,” she said. “The competition is a Stableford Competition, so there is a really competitive side to it, but there’s also a place for a team like ours, made up of school staff, who really just wanted to be out there, showing our support. “I didn’t expect to enjoy it so much, and I didn’t expect to win a prize for my golf skills either.” But she did win a prize. Among the generous prizes for golfing prowess given out each year, are a pile of spot prizes and a few booby prizes, such as the “most strokes” award. “I was stoked,” says Roseanne of her win, “until I got to school the next day and was told by my senior students

that actually it was embarrassing to have made the most strokes and I really shouldn’t be admitting to it at all!” The golf tournament is Eketahuna School’s main fundraiser, and there is huge support from sponsors and the community. Over 18 holes, golfers are treated to hospitality from the sponsors and come across added incentives such as a Haggle Hole, a Hole-inOne prize, and a Closestto-the-Pin competition. This year AON insurance in Pahiatua, have also sponsored a hole-in-one prize worth $3000. Last year, the money raised went towards heating the school’s pool and this year it will be used to upgrade the school’s hall into a warm and bright child-centred community space. “The day always has such a great atmosphere,” said Sandy Bourke, who helps to organise the event. “It’s a beautiful golf course, with a river running beside it, and you don’t have to walk for miles to get back to the

club rooms. “People enjoy the fun and the competitive side of things, and we have teams come from all over – Wairarapa, Manawatu, as well as from Hawkes Bay. “There’s always heaps of great food, raffles, tables full of prizes, and also refreshments to enjoy along the way. “We love how people really get into the spirit of it and how it’s an event with the community at the heart of it. “One year, someone donated the trailer load of firewood they’d won in the auction, back to the school, to raffle again. “It’s only $20, but there are only 100 spaces, so get a team together and come and enjoy a great day out. The Eketahuna School Annual Golf Tournament will be held at Eketahuna Golf Club on Sunday April 7, 2019. Morning tea is from 10.30am, and the welcome will be held at 10.55am. Tee off will be at 11am. • Contact Eketahuna School to enter (06 375 8191) or register on the day if there are spaces available.

RUGBY

CLUB Gladstone Rugby CLUB

The 2018 season followed the same pattern as the previous year with Gladstone successfully defending both the club rugby championship and the sevens title. This puts a large target on the team this year, as the other clubs in Wairarapa look to put an end to this period of dominance. The players are acutely aware that this is the case. Yet again under the astute coaching of Steve Thompson and led by an experienced core of players that have been part of the success of recent years, Gladstone are putting in place plans that will ensure they are part of the competition at the end of the season. Each year this becomes more and more difficult though, as the preparations that all clubs undertake has seen the quality and competitiveness of local rugby improve, so there is a need to continually improve performance to remain in the reckoning as the season progresses.

A pre-season trip to Hanmer Springs to play Hurunui was a great opportunity for this year’s team to bond early in the season, and this has galvanised all those involved as we move into the season proper.

The Senior Reserves have had a change in the coaching setup this year and Shaun Pollard is taking the reins with Louis Kjestrup assisting.

with players not in the Premier matchday 22 getting necessary game time in the Senior Reserves on a weekly basis.

Gladstone Rugby CLUB

CONTINUIED planning is in place to ensure on-field results reflect the hard work that has gone into the team. The JAB have their annual muster on Thursday 11th April at the Gladstone Complex from 4pm and indications are that registration will again be strong. All are welcome so get along to register and be a part of the Gladstone club in 2019. A big part of what has been happening at Gladstone off the field in recent years is a continuation of site improvements with a focus on environmental sustainability with large native vegetation plantings occurring.

MEET YOUR

LOCAL

This has involved working with the Gladstone Sports & Social Complex to plant almost 1000 native trees and shrubs around the Gladstone

playing fields. This not only protects and cleans the neighbouring Ruamahanga River but also sequesters a ton of carbon emissions from our atmosphere - 263 tonnes, in fact. This is the equivalent of 112,025 litres of petrol consumed, or 46 homes’ electricity for one year! We are proud of our environmental leadership and challenge other clubs to look to offset their carbon footprint as well. As always, we are extremely grateful for the support that we receive from our loyal sponsors – without them we simply would not be around as a club and their support both financially and in other ways all helps to ensure we can continue to be a vital part of the rural Gladstone community. Likewise our supporters are a loyal bunch and we look forward to having a strong presence on the sidelines at all Gladstone games again in 2019. We can’t wait for the 2019 season to commence and look forward to catching up with all members of the Wairarapa-Bush rugby community again in the coming months.

Gladstone Rugby

It’s going to be a good season This will be the first year Shaun Pollard has coached Gladstone’s Senior Reserve team, but he well-familiar with it already, having played in the backs, and now as a prop in the forwards.

“The other teams will be looking to knock us over. Some of the teams will be pretty tough this year. They have been around a bit and will have a better handle on it. Some of the clubs will be looking to do bit better.”

The Senior Reserves will be taking their rugby seriously this year, Shaun says.

Steve is looking to increase the pace of the game the Premiers play.

“We ended around the middle of the table last season and we always aim to do better.”

“Fitness is part of it, but also playing smarter. The players are a bit older and know what we are trying to achieve. They will be putting more thought into how they play.”

Over the 15 years he has played for Gladstone’s Senior Reserves, Shaun has noticed an improvement right across the competition. “It used to be more sloppy, but now it has improved big time.” The Senior Reserves play an important role for the club, Shaun says, with players from its team and that of the Premiers moving backwards and forwards from game to game, depending on who is playing the best.

The Premiers are going to go out on to the field every weekend with a plan, Steve says. “I think it is going to be a good season, and we are pretty keen to get started.”

“Players have to work hard for a spot in the Premiers so it is quite competitive. “One of the strengths of our club is that the two teams work together and I will be working closely with Steve (Thompson, coach of the Premier side). We are all part of the same club.”

Shaun says there is an “awesome spirit” at the club. “We are a good, fun, family-oriented club.” Steve Thompson will be again coaching the Premiers who are aiming to make it three in a row for last year’s champions. We have retained pretty much most of the team,” says Steve. “We’ve probably lost one or two players, which is a good way to start. We are quite lucky really to continue with so many players. The boys like the club, like the atmosphere and camaraderie of the team.” Steve wants to take the team up another notch this year.

Carterton Rugby

FOOTBALL CLUB

For the 2019 season Carterton is delighted to have Chris Senior and Neil Rodger on board as Premier coaches. The Senior Reserves will be coached by club stalwarts James Matthews and Cory Wilson. Pre-season training kicked off in late January and it is encouraging to see 45 to 50 players regularly attending both Tuesday and Thursday trainings. There is a familiar look about both squads but there are also a reasonable number of new players, particularly in the Premier line-up.

Since the end of the 2018 season, the Eketahuna Rugby Club has honoured two ex-players and administrators/supporters with life membership of the club. Both Mike (Rambo) Davis and Graeme (Bunter) Anderson gave many, many years of service to the club, supported by their respective wives Gaye and Mary. Wayne Roache and Kelsey Beales have returned as the Premier coaches after Rambo stepped in last season. Wayne and Kelsey have Brian Abbot and Graeme Anderson as managers, so things will be well-organised but not too serious off the paddock. The premier squad is looking (on paper anyway) quite a bit stronger than last season, with better numbers which gives competition for starting positions and depth off the bench. It will be interesting to see how the season unfolds as injuries etc affect the squad. The senior reserves have been hit hard by retirements and players shifting out of the area, but Tommo Bidois (head coach) and Eric Naucukidi (manager) have worked really hard to gather enough players to form the nucleus of a team. There is always room for more players in this team, as you can register at the game and rolling subs makes it fun and enjoyable. Come along and join in - you will be more than welcome!

East Coast Rugby Club is hoping to lead by example when it comes to spectator behaviour at club rugby matches this season.

We sell everything from beer, wine, takeaway, ice creams to coffee and other general store items Find all your fishing requirements from bait to local fishing knowledge at our store

Rob Glanville, manager of East Coast’s Premier team, says there is a strong desire within the club to engage its supporters and encourage them to take a more positive approach to supporting their team. “East Coast is a family club and we want to keep it that way. No one wants to go to a game to hear people being abused. We want to let our supporters know that referees are only human and they are volunteers. It’s club rugby and everyone is out there to have fun, at the end of the day.”

While bad behaviour will be confronted, the emphasis is on showing people how they can support their team in a positive way. To this effect, children of club members have been making banners to display from the side line. Rob says all the clubs are on the same page when it comes to abusive behaviour.

Rob is positive about the prospects of the club’s Premier side. The team has been going through a rebuilding phase since losing a lot of its experienced players a few years back. Last year the club decided it wanted to improve on its poor showing of late and managed runner-up in the plate final.

This year has seen a lot of shepherds returning to the region and joining the team. It is now over-flowing with back talent, and it can still rely on the experience of forwards like Ross Thompson, Robert O’Neale, and Joe and Morgan Feast. The team has the services of former Taranaki rep Cody Whitaker who will play in the backs as well as coach them. Dion Mitchell will coach the forwards, while Byron Karaitiana is again head coach.

Tuhirangi will again be fielding a Premier Reserves team this year, as well as several JAB teams.

Here in Featherston - rugby is no longer just about 15 men or women on a field – it’s about bringing people together in a safe, positive environment – while letting off some steam and being part of a family.

Last year the Senior Reserves team was placed third in the competition. Tuhirangi will be in its third year being coached by Dylan Higginson and assisted by Tim Roberts. Tuhirangi’s home ground is in the village of Pirinoa with the clubrooms at Pirinoa Hall which the club has used for over 100 years.

This year Tuhirangi is excited to have new sponsor PGG Wrightson on board, as well as our other sponsors. We consider ourselves pretty lucky with the support we have.

Pioneer Rugby CLUB

Pioneer was considering fielding two senior reserve teams this year because of the number of young players who have come forward, but it decided instead to stick to just the one “old boys” team although it now has a good mix of older and younger players Pioneer is on a mission to put the club back on the map, says Richard Dahlberg, who has again become president after holding that role from 1995 to 2005.

He says the club makes a big contribution to the Masterton east side community where it is based, with a very noticeable change in winter when all the children are playing

rugby. Darts are really big at the club, along with netball, but rugby remains the heart of the club, he says.

Volunteering Wairarapa

Jill Greathead sustenance at these sessions. The sessions also allow the carer time to themselves. Having offered this wonderful service for the past 12 years, they are keen to promote a mix of both male and female volunteers to interact with their clients. • If you are keen to chat about this volunteering opportunity, please contact me on 0274 884 376 or admin@waivc. org.nz.

Last week we visited the Glenwood Masonic Village Hall where the Iona Day Activity Group holds activities for people with Alzheimer’s from 10am to 3pm on Tuesdays and Fridays. Activities range from pool, darts, table tennis, exercises, petanque, board games and puzzles, bowls, and if the weather is fine the clients are taken for walks. A diversional therapist and three volunteers are needed at each session for up to 16 clients. Alzheimer’s Wairarapa are looking for both activity support volunteers who assist the diversional therapist and van assistants who help the drivers collect clients from their homes and drop them off at the end of the session. Alzheimer’s Wairarapa aims to promote companionship and social interaction, to give pleasure, a sense of achievement and selfworth, as well as cognitive stimulation and memory

Ask others how they are feeling 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.

Midweek Musings

Tim Nelson An agreement with yourself

The Four Agreements is a book that the author, Don Miguel Ruiz, calls a Toltec wisdom book and a practical guide to personal freedom. The book identifies four agreements to make with yourself that will lead to a more fulfilling life. All four are valid, but the one idea that stands out to me is that of living intensely – doing our best at every moment while also remembering to enjoy life. This idea symbolises the need to put in the effort, while also remembering that life is also about enjoying the moment. There’s more to life

than constantly moving ahead and achieving goals – we also need to enjoy the journey involved in getting there. An example of this could be training for a trail run event. The satisfaction of working hard to achieve this goal will be something to be savoured, but so should the training run you did in the trail on the edge of town three months before the event took place.

Be prolific

To get really good at something it’s important to do it often and do it a lot. The musician Coolio decided he wanted to be a rapper at the age of 14. For the next 17 years

he wrote lyrics every day, never giving up on his dream. This led to him having his first hit, then the following year he wrote the song Gangster Paradise, which became a number 1 hit in the United States and around the world. Coolio was able to achieve this success because he worked hard and was consistent. He had a passion and a goal which he never gave up on and eventually achieved huge success.

Push yourself

I attended a presentation by Nigel Latta recently. The event was a fundraiser for the local organisation Digital Seniors, a fabulous group supporting the enabling of seniors with digital technology. There were many real gems of information in the presentation, all worth sharing.

One of the many was Nigel’s message to push ourselves. There are so many ways in which we underestimate what we are capable of achieving, from overcoming fears, as Nigel shares with the way in which to he confronted and overcoming his fear

of spiders, to a physical task, such as running a marathon. The message is to start removing the blinkers that narrow your self-belief on what you can do and start pushing the boundaries to move towards your potential in all aspects of your life.

To overcome this, take the time to look at things from another angle; for example, if you support one politician, do a search on all of the positive contributions that his or her opponent has made in their role. Another option could be to choose a random Dewey decimal library number and read a book on a topic under that number. It’s important to broaden your outlook on the world – you may ﬁnd that not everything is at it seems.

Ask how others are feeling

Asking others how they are feeling contributes to a stronger sense of community. PHOTO/GETTY IMAGES

Be aware of everdecreasing circles

The nature of social media and the internet is that they will identify what your thoughts, ideas, interests and opinions are and will start to funnel what appears on timelines to match what the algorithm knows will

interest you. In many ways, this is great because what you want just appears on your browser or feed and you don’t go looking for it. However, the danger is that your view of the world can become narrower and narrower, decreasing your awareness

This is another idea shared by Nigel Latta is under the theme of looking after ourselves. This, though, was not being about us, instead it’s about looking after and out for others. This is especially relevant today in New Zealand after the Christchurch shooting tragedy. Take the time to ask how others are feeling. Doing this is a way of contributing to a stronger sense of community. Your question could be just what a person who is struggling needs to hear; giving them the opportunity to talk about

and be supported with any issues they may have. If the person is absolutely ﬁne, that’s even better, but at least you have taken the time to ask. Perhaps the other person will do the same thing with someone else who may just need that little bit of support.

The impact of bad news on your day

Shawn Achor is a worldrenowned happiness expert and author. In a piece of research, he shares in his Calm masterclass on happiness, Shawn discusses the impact of bad news on our days. By bad news he is referring to listening to or reading media in the morning that exposes us to negative news stories. The research he shares has found that three minutes of exposure to bad news ﬁrst thing in the morning, even if it has no impact on us directly, leads to a 27 per cent higher chance that we will have what we consider to be a bad day. What we don’t need to do is stick our heads in the sand and pretend everything’s perfect. However, what can be done is to choose to start the day with positivity; read a book, listen to music you enjoy, watch your favourite comedian on YouTube – it can be anything, just make sure

it’s something that makes you happy.

From gratefulness to happiness

More from Shawn Achor on happiness, this time on the link between gratefulness and happiness. Shawn shares a number of simple strategies that have been proven to lead to greater happiness if they are consistently applied. One such strategy is the link between happiness and gratitude. Shawn suggests recording three things every day that you are grateful for. However, there’s a couple things to consider in this process. First, you need to identify three different things every day. This may seem hard, but the secret is that we can be grateful for really simple things, such as finding a parking space in just the right spot, or an interesting article that is in the daily newspaper. The second thing is that you need to give a reason why the thing or event has made you grateful. For example, finding the right parking space meant that you were able to get to the store without getting wet on a rainy day. With this process, the secret is to take the time to look for the simple things in life that we can be grateful for.

WAI art exhibition opens: One river, many streams The latest art exhibition to be launched at Aratoi Museum of Art and History addresses the current water crises in New Zealand. WAI – Manga Maha, Awa Kotahi | One River, Many Streams is a largescale environmental exhibition seeking to reconnect the Wairarapa community with its waterways and wetlands and advocates for the rivers of our region through art. Featured in the exhibition, which launched on Friday, are 80 hand-sculpted ceramic eels swimming along a 5m-long stream in the gallery. On one of the walls, hundreds of botanical specimens and items found along waterways form a moving installation. There’s also a meditative video of a river; a soundscape that includes recordings from Antarctica and Kahungunu philosophy; eight large-scale photograms of South Island glaciers; and a design inspired by manhole covers. Masterton-based artist Sam Ludden, who spearheaded the WAI exhibition, said, “WAI is inspired by the love of rivers and the creatures that live in them, and by the people and the politics of and around our waterways.” Aratoi director Susanna Shadbolt said water is a “crucial issue of our times”. “Aratoi salutes these local and international artists who are working to address the challenges creatively.” The exhibition continues until 26th May. Another water-themed exhibition WATER/WAY will run from April 13 to August 4

This unique map was researched by Tony Garstang and designed by Kirsten Browne and shows all the streams that run through – under Masterton. Siv Fjaerestad with her botanical specimens.

Justice journey to be told The recently knighted author of Journey Towards Justice, Sir Kim Workman will be the featured writer at Wairarapa Word on Sunday, April 7 at 3pm. This event will be in Masterton at Aratoi Wairarapa Museum of Art and History. Kim says he has a passion for the relational justice. In response to the Christchurch event on March 15, he will take the opportunity to talk about difficult issues that this country needs to face and respond to. He says the time is now for deeper conversations. “We talk about New Zealand values and beliefs – what are they?’ Wai Word member Jan Gerritsen said it was very special to host Kim Workman as he grew up in Wairarapa and his achievements have been recognised with a number of awards. “His views on how to have a more effective justice system are based on his experience as a policeman, as Head of Prisons, director of Prison Fellowship NZ and a member of the activist group Just Speak.” Kim is the son of a Pakeha mother and Maori father. His whakapapa comes from Ngati Kahungunu ki Wairarapa and Rangitane; Papawai Marae near Greytown is the place to which he always returns. His childhood was shaped by life in a country town, by family and Maori community, somewhat by school and rather more by playing jazz. Jazz musician, policeman, public servant, prison manager, prominent campaigner for restorative justice – Kim’s life is full of passion and spirit, research and writing, action and commitment. Working as a police officer in the 1960s prompted his engagement with justice reform – and brought into sharp relief

the racism that he has challenged throughout his working life. Kim’s visionary work in justice reform began when he became director of Prison Fellowship New Zealand, and ultimately found expression in the Rethinking Crime and Punishment project and in supporting the activist group JustSpeak. His thinking draws on both his Christian faith and his Maori heritage: he was instrumental in establishing one of the first faith-based prison units, and his understanding of restorative justice

We talk about New Zealand values and beliefs – what are they? draws strongly on Maori customary practice. He is a graduate of Massey University, and has completed post-graduate study at the University of Southern California, and Stanford University. In 2005, Kim was the joint recipient (with Jackie Katounas) of the International Prize for Restorative Justice. He was made a Companion of the Queens Service Order (QSO) in 2007. In 2016, Kim was awarded the degree of Doctor of Literature (DLitt Well) by the Council of Victoria University, and in 2017, the same degree by the Council of Massey University. In February 2018, Kim was awarded Senior New Zealander of the Year, under the New Zealander of the Year Awards Scheme. This year, Kim was appointed as a Knight Companion to the NZ order of Merit (KNZM) Journey Towards Justice, published in November 2018, is an eloquent account of a life that is at once ordinary and exceptional, told with warmth and honesty. There are dark moments

and hilarious ones, achievements and failures. Above all, there is love, compassion, vision, and a profound determination to bring justice to all. Wairarapa Word meets on the first Sunday of every month and this Masterton event is sponsored by Masterton Creative Communities and Almo Books. Entry is free, but a koha is welcome. Wairarapa Word is open to anyone interested in writing and reading. • An excerpt of Journey Towards Justice has been published in this edition of the Wairarapa Midweek on P42.

From the 1970s, I increasingly felt the need to retain and strengthen my connections to Papawai Pa, and to the whanau and hapu connected to it. Through childhood and adolescence, it had been a linchpin of my existence, and it held some great memories. I did not appreciate at the time that my childhood mates were the descendants of significant leaders in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. As a teenager I did not see, and knew little about, the national significance of Papawai. In the 1940s and 1950s the marae was in a dilapidated state. The cooking facilities comprised a corrugated-iron shelter attached to Hikurangi; it contained an open fire and two copper boilers. There was no dining room. One of Mahupuku’s last projects had been to put a palisade around the marae, with carved totara pou representing ancestors, erected facing inwards, to symbolise peace. By the 1950s the palisade had disappeared and many of the pou lay in long grass, neglected and forgotten. Dances, weddings and whanau parties were held in the wharenui. Food was eaten, alcohol consumed and, from time to time, a drunken brawl broke out. Marae protocol remained a mystery; only in later years did I realise that our kaumatua had been remarkably fluid in relation to kawa (protocol), sometimes changing the order of things on a whim. Te reo was nowhere in evidence; a handful of kaumatua spoke the language, but many could not; for my generation it was unknown. I would make a point of attending a hui where te reo was spoken (usually by manuhiri), not because I understood it but because I felt connected to it. Were my peers and I Maori? None of us spoke te reo; some avoided attending powhiri. Some (but not that many) had a sound knowledge of their

whakapapa, and most had a rudimentary understanding of tikanga. According to one typology, we probably did not qualify as ‘culturally’ Maori; we were more likely to be regarded as ‘bicultural’ Maori, able to operate effectively among Pakeha. A handful were ‘marginalised’ – a disconnected minority not able to relate effectively either to Maori or Pakeha. Another typology adds a fourth group: those people socially and culturally indistinguishable from Pakeha. There were certainly some in that category, including within my own whanau. These scholarly definitions of Maori identity came later in my life, and remain the subject of debate and conjecture to this day. As the Maori researcher Tahu Kukutai comments: “At the heart of the problem of defining ethnic group membership is the lack of definitive criteria. In this case, just what is it that makes a person Maori? Is it a preponderance of Maori ancestors – something akin to the notion of being a ‘full blood’? Is it knowledge of cultural practices and engagement in Maori

networks? Is it having a Maori ancestor, no matter how far back? Or, is being Maori merely a state of mind? Clearly any criteria invoked are not objective but are products of the motivations and cultural assumptions of those doing the classifying.” From my teenage years, however, I somehow knew I was Maori, and so did everyone around me. The whanau at Papawai accepted me without question, and always embraced my presence. That identity was never in doubt. They talked about my parents, grandfather and great-grandfather with some affection; some said they were related to me, but never went beyond that. For some reason, I never enquired further. The kaumatua made it clear that I was welcome. As a sixteen-year-old attending a tangi, I was helping to dig the grave when I was scolded and ordered back to sit with the kaumatua, ‘to listen’. When I attended twentyfirsts or weddings, I was often given a place at the table well out of kilter with my status (much to the annoyance of some whanau). The outward manifestations

of belonging, of whanaungatanga, were not unimportant to me. But it was the inward manifestation that really mattered. Whenever I slept at the marae, I would feel cocooned beneath the tahuhu (ridgepole) of Hikurangi and transfixed by the beautiful unadorned totara tongue-and-groove ceiling. As I thought about the extraordinary tipuna and rangatira that had slept there over the years, I felt both reconnected and protected. I returned to Papawai whenever I got the chance. In Maori tradition, the term Te Ipukarea is used to describe an ancestral home, significant waters or a geographical feature of a tribe’s homeland relating to its identity and the source of its livelihood. It is a place where we go to be rejuvenated, a place that represents the hopes and aspirations of people, the lifegiving waters from which they drink. At that point in my life, Papawai was Te Ipukarea to me. My physical and spiritual connections with the place were inextricably linked. I eventually came to think of my internal responses to Papawai and my Maori identity as te ipukarea kei roto – the homeland within. • This was an excerpt from Kim Workman’s, Journey Towards Justice, Bridget Williams Books, 2018 (p118-120). Sir Kim Workman is a justice reform advocate who grew up in Greytown. He will discuss his recent memoir and his writing life at Wairarapa Word on Sunday, April 7, 3pm, at Aratoi.

New layout to improve safety on busy Masterton road TO SELL??

A new lane layout will improve safety for all road users on a busy section of State Highway 2 Opaki Road at the northern end of Masterton. The two lanes heading north from the Chapel Street roundabout, passing over the Waipoua River bridge, will be reduced to one. This will improve safety for pedestrians at the zebra crossing and allow more space for cyclists. The second lane remains north of the crossing as the turning lane for vehicles turning right into Te Ore Ore Road. The NZ Transport Agency and Masterton District Council have agreed on the change to the road layout following community consultation. The new northbound layout will mirror the safer design of the southbound single lane approach. The zebra crossing remains in place to provide safe connections, especially for vulnerable pedestrians such as the elderly, school pupils and people with mobility impairments. The crossing will continue to allow pedestrians to wait in the central median while crossing the highway.

Since 2006 there have been eight reported crashes related to the zebra crossing, all on the northbound side. Two involved pedestrians being struck, resulting in one serious injury and one minor injury. These crashes occurred when a vehicle waiting in one lane obscured visibility of a pedestrian on the crossing from the vehicle in the other lane. There have also been six reported nearcrashes from vehicles stopping for pedestrians on the crossing, resulting in two minor injuries.

walking stick anymore,” she said. “It’s very freeing.” But wearing a hijab has also come with some obstacles. “Since 9/11 [the attack on New York’s World Trade Centre], there have been a lot of restrictions put on Muslims. “My old bank in Masterton wouldn’t let me in if I have my walking stick and I’m wearing my headscarf. They said I could only have one or the other.” When news of the Christchurch mosque attacks broke, she knew she would have friends and family directedly affected – the three-year-old boy who died, Mucad Ibrahim, was a friend of her nephew who was also at the Masjid Al Noor mosque.

MacLean said she was so grateful to the Eketahuna community for their support. “[Their] support has been amazing. “Every face [at the recent vigil] was a glimmer of hope in this immense darkness.” In Islam, young children are not hindered from running around or talking during prayers and hearing some of the children during last week’s two minutes of silence filled her with optimism. “It would really help if we take one for the team [with the new gun regulations],” she said. “Terrorists, when they come to attack, they try to divide us through anger and mistrust.”

Recycling scheme to target farmers Gianina Schwanecke A new initiative from the Associate Minister for the Environment Eugenie Sage is hoping to keep New Zealand’s clean, green image on farms. The New Zealand Rural Waste Minimisation Project will support farmers by providing alternatives to the harmful disposal practices of burning, burying and stock-piling of waste. The rural recycling programme will be run by Agrecovery, offering nationwide events for farmers to dispose of waste all in one go – including,

agrichemical and motor oil containers, unwanted agrichemicals, used motor oil, fertiliser bags and silage wrap. “By providing a ‘onestop-shop approach’, we will be removing barriers to recycling and encouraging our rural communities to participate in sustainable disposal practices for a variety of waste,” said Agrecovery board chair Adrienne Wilcock. Started in 2007, the Agrecovery Foundation is funded by those in the agrichemical industry and first started with clearing unwanted agrichemicals, plastic agrichemical

containers and drums from farms across the country. The project builds upon two trial events held last year which collected almost 20 tonnes of rural waste. “Solving waste issues by providing a service that deals with waste all in one go was supported by farmers who participated in the events. “It is critical that we take responsibility for all plastics used on farms – which have long been problematic – and meet these challenges head-on,” said Wilcock. Minister Eugenie Sage said that businesses must take responsibility for their

As a fifth-generation Tararua resident, Glynne MacLean understands the need for guns in rural communities, but as a Muslim woman, she’s calling on farmers to show compassion and understanding when it comes to the new gun regulations. “Because I have a rural background, I understand why a lot of families need guns,” she said. “I understand as lawabiding people, there is the very natural response of ‘Why? It wasn’t me’. A lot of people are going to feel angered because they haven’t done anything wrong.” The 55-year-old knows too well what it feels like to have restrictions put in place and be discriminated against though. MacLean converted to Islam almost 20 years ago after what she read in the Quran resonated with her. After contracting a debilitating disease which makes it hard for her to walk without a cane, and which requires medication to prevent muscle spasms, she found freedom in wearing her hijab. “Nobody notices my

Top level basketball will come to Masterton on Sunday. National Basketball League teams the Bay Hawks and the Manawatu Jets will play a pre-season game at the Masterton War Memorial Stadium. It will be both teams’ final pre-season fixture before the start of the NBL the following week. The Bay Hawks come with the stronger pedigree, having made the NBL playoffs with a fourth-place finish in the 2018 season. Among their roster are Tall Black Jarrod Kenny, who also has Australian NBL experience with the Perth Wildcats and Cairns Taipans, and former New Zealand Breaker Ethan Rusbatch, who was part of the Tall Blacks team who won the bronze medal at the 2018 Commonwealth Games. Shooting guardsmall forward Dion Prewster also brings a wealth of experience having represented New Zealand since 2015. He was part of the Breakers’ ANBL championship winning team in 2012 and is a three-time NZ

The game of the week in the Wairarapa District Darts Competition, was between Spellbound and Pumas, where at the half way mark they were locked up at four games all and after all 16 games had been played they were once again tied up at 8-8 which meant a team game of 1 leg of 1001, where Pumas prevailed, took out the close match 9-8. The only unbeaten first division team is Panthers after hard fought 12-4 win over Pioneer Black. JSB Chathams is still unbeaten in the second division after thrashing 13-2 over a strong WSCC Waingawa.

NBL winner with the Wellington Saints. The Manawatu Jets are in their second season back in the NBL after a two-year hiatus. They finished eighth and last in the 2017 league. Much interest in the Jets will centre around the signings of two of their restricted players [imports], Anthony Odunsi and Wally Ellenson. Odunsi is a 26-yearold Nigerian point guard-shooting guard who played Division One college basketball in Texas for Houston Baptist University and has played professionally in Iceland, Tunisia, France and Australia. He made his debut for Nigeria in the 2017 African continental championship. Ellenson is a graduate

of Marquette University in the United States, where he had a dual scholarship in basketball and athletics. Ellenson should have little trouble leaping above his New Zealand opponents. He was an all-American and Olympic qualifier in the high jump. His personal best of 2.28m is only two centimetres short of the New Zealand record. The Manawatu Jets start their NBL campaign on April 11 against the Super City Rangers. The Bay Hawkes open their championship away to the Wellington Saints on April 12. • The game tips off at the Masterton War Memorial Stadium at 5pm on Sunday. • Entry is by gold coin donation.

United gets football lesson If Wairarapa United started Saturday’s opening round of the Central League with any high expectations, they were given a brutal reality check in a 10-0 loss to Olympic. United went into the match at Memorial Park with a new look and new philosophy, based around promising youth players from the Paul Ifill Academy, along with a core group of experienced players. Olympic had strengthened their squad with prominent signings in the off-season but went into the game understrength, with several players in the Team Wellington side for yesterday’s National League final against Eastern Suburbs. Both teams started brightly and showed early intent to attack, but it didn’t take long for Olympic to exert their dominance. Former National League golden boot winner Tom Jackson took advantage of some slack marking from a free kick, opening the scoring with an easy header in the 10th minute. Paul Ifill was unlucky not to equalise two minutes later when his

Wairarapa United captain Daniel Allan outjumps the Olympic defence.

United, Olympic doubled their lead from the second of two ensuing corners, from another looping header. United continued to play positively with Ifill, Mark Hemi, who made some useful runs on the right flank, and Josh Rudland causing the Olympic defence some problems, and forcing a few corners. But the further the game went Olympic, took more and more control. They were rewarded with a third goal just before

shot from a very narrow angle just brushed the cross bar. Possibly the highlight of the match for United came at the 20-minute mark after a penalty was awarded when United defender Connor Turton brought down the speedy Seth Ward with a clumsy challenge in the box. United goalkeeper, 16-year-old Brad Clarke did brilliantly, diving to his left to superbly save Birhanu Taye’s spot kick. Unfortunately for

halftime, and for the third time United were caught out defending a set piece. Again, the goal came from a simple header. Olympic made it 4-0, five minutes into the second half, when a poor clearance from Clarke went straight to George Barbarouses, who made a surging run into the box before crossing to Jackson for an easy tap into the goal. Ward made it 5-0, after 65 minutes, with a superbly angled finish into

the back corner of the net from the edge of the box. United then probably had their best opportunities to get on the scoresheet. Ifill had a shot from 20m easily saved by former Wellington Phoenix goalkeeper Keegan Smith. Rudland forced Keegan to make another good save after he beat the defensive line and had a one-on-one opportunity. The last 18 minutes was all Olympic and the floodgates opened. They scored five goals, including a lobbed shot from 45 metres, when Clarke was caught off his line. United showed plenty of endeavour and attempted to play an attractive attacking style of play but they were caught out with a lack of defensive organisation against set pieces. Their lack of experience told in the final quarter when Olympic upped the ante. Meanwhile, the Wairarapa United women’s team are through to the final of the plate in the pre-season Kelly Cup. Goals to 14-year-old Michelle Bgoni and Sydnie Williams gave United a 2-1 victory over Wellington United Sapphires. United will play North Wellington in next weekend’s final.
