The battle is over Emily Ireland Featherston mum Jen Bhati has been through the ringer with her cancer battle. But after two years of fighting, her doctor has finally dropped the ‘r’ word – remission. Jen, 40, was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in September 2016 – it was the latest in a string of cancer diagnoses in her family. In December 2015, her niece who was 18 months old was diagnosed with neuroblastoma – there was a tumour wrapped around her kidney. The day her niece was given the “six week all-clear” after treatment, Jen’s mother was diagnosed with lymphoma – she had a tumour wrapped around her spine, but she is now also in remission And while her mother’s cancer was being treated, that’s when Jen herself was diagnosed with the same cancer, Stage 3 non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Jen went through chemotherapy and finished her treatment in April 2017. But by the time December came by, Jen felt that something was wrong again. Her cancer relapse was confirmed midFebruary this year, and treatment began again in mid-March. “The oncologist pretty much said, ‘we’re going to be spending a lot of money on you’,” Jen said. “They had a treatment plan already laid out as to what they were going to do.” This included further chemotherapy, and

stem cell transplant therapy. “There were six rounds of chemo this time around — once every three weeks, and it was a four-day hospital stay each time.” During these chemotherapy sessions, Jen’s stem cells were harvested for a later transplant. Once the harvest day came around, Jen had to lay in hospital for ﬁve hours while a “big dialysis-like machine” her took blood. About six weeks after her last chemotherapy session she was admitted back into hospital to start the chemotherapy again — six days’ worth — in preparation for the stem cell transplant. “The transplant day came, and I was pretty psyched for it. “They had my bag of stem cells, they brought it from the blood centre where it had been in a freezer, and the moment they put it in a water bath to defrost, they had 10 minutes to get it into me. “It was very quick, and I was thinking, wow was that it? “And that was it.” A few days passed and then “it went hell in a handbasket”.

Bringing whanau home at last Emily Ireland Rain couldn’t dampen the spirits of those celebrating the opening of a unique social housing development at Gladstone’s Hurunui-oRangi Marae on Saturday. The Marae, 10km east of Carterton, aims to provide affordable housing as well as advance the aspirations of the community. Built with the support of $1.6 million from the Maori Housing Network [Te Puni Kokiri], the six-house development is made up of two two-bedroom homes and four three-bedroom houses. Marae spokesperson, Henare Manaena said the project aimed to not only provide affordable housing for whanau but to recreate what was once a vibrant pa community. It is one of the first new papakainga in Wairarapa for many years and it is also understood to be the first new social housing development in New Zealand on marae reserve land. “Providing maraebased homes offers an opportunity to reconnect our mokopuna and whanau to their whenua, whakapapa and learning

Providing marae-based homes offers an opportunity to reconnect our mokopuna and whanau to their whenua, whakapapa and learning about who they are and where they come from.

about who they are and where they come from,” Manaena said. “We are thrilled to see the homes finally built. “It has been a long aspiration for our kuia, kaumatua and whanau of

Hurunui-o-Rangi Marae.” The three-bedroom homes are hoped to accommodate families, and the two-bedroom homes are hoped to accommodate single parents with children, or senior citizens.

In the past, Hurunuio-Rangi Marae was a papakainga with a thriving community, Manaena said. The revival of this papakainga concept is important in terms of the marae’s identity,

and individuals’ sense of belonging in the community. Each house was blessed during the official opening, which was attended by members of the wider Wairarapa community,

project stakeholders, and representatives from other Wairarapa marae. The papakainga project was not easy sailing. It was originally expected to open in July last year, and then in April this year, but it was necessary for key agencies to buy into the idea to go forward, Manena said. But he said the road blocks along the way served a greater purpose which was sharing the knowledge with other marae that were keen to embark on similar projects. Manaena said the project would not have been successful without everyone’s help – from the tea and bread makers, right through to whanau that worked in professional fields and helped with “all the paperwork”. He said interest in embarking on similar projects from other marae had been “phenomenal”, and Hurunui-o-Rangi Marae was looking forward to sharing the knowledge that came from the project. The application process to live in the social development will be managed by Hurunui-oRangi Marae trustees and Trust House.

Extra challenges for young cancer battlers Continued from page 1 Jen’s immune system was very low, and she had become violently ill. “I ended up on a feeding tube for six days. “I was calling it my food bag and joking that my dietician was Nadia Lim.” Thankfully, the sickness passed, and although Jen said she still feels exhausted and suffers body aches on occasion, she is happy to say she is in remission. The day she got the remission news, which came just over a

month ago, she said her “Facebook memory” from the same day two years prior showed a post she had written to her friends announcing she had cancer. And in those two years, she has learned a lot: about cancer, about herself, and about the people around her who have supported her through such a tough time. Special mentions were given to Featherston’s Own Charitable Trust, Featherston School whanau, Leukamia and Blood Cancer NZ, and the

Wairarapa Cancer Society. But one organisation that has helped Jen through the toughest times is the Whole Lotta Life Foundation (WLL). WLL offers a community and support for young adults aged 20-45 diagnosed with cancer in New Zealand. They recognise that young adults dealing with cancer face a multitude of social, psychological, and medical hurdles. Founder and director Kris Paterson said young adults fighting cancer often confronted the loss of a

sense of independence, as well as concerns over changes in physical appearance, fertility, and relationships. Additionally, they face obstacles around education, insurance, and employment, Kris said. “While most other young adults are leading healthy, active, and busy lives, a cancer diagnosis often makes it difficult to keep up socially, academically, and professionally, as well as relate to others. “It is challenging for young adults with cancer to find strong, reliable peer

support as they face their illness, resulting in feelings of isolation and despair.” Jen found solace in the company and network of WLL and recently went on a retreat through the foundation with 11 other cancer battlers, two of which are terminally ill. “One of them is having to work two jobs to fight to get this $6000 a month medication to give herself an extra year with her family,” Jen said. “It’s absolutely gutting. “I just think, how lucky am I that things have gone the way they have gone.

“And hopefully I stay on track.” Jen’s recovery will be reviewed next month. Three months from then she will receive another CT scan to ensure she is “on track”. • For more information about Whole Lotta Life, visit wholelottalife.org. nz • To contact the Wairarapa Cancer Society, call (06) 378 8039 or email waisupport@ cancersoc.org.nz.

Aged care faces funding crisis Emily Ireland Community-owned rest homes are struggling to stay afloat as they pick up the tab of last year’s pay equity settlement for care and support workers. Residents of Martinborough’s Wharekaka Rest Home have taken matters into their own hands, outlining their concerns to local and national leaders demanding an increase in government funding to small rest homes like theirs, which is run by a registered charitable trust. Last year, 55,000 care workers secured a $2 billion government package which would result in pay rises of between $19 and $27 per hour over the next five years. But the government package only partly funded the move, leaving facilities to fork out for the extra costs themselves. A letter, written and signed by residents of

The number of people living in Wairarapa aged over 65 is set double over the next 25 years. It is vitally important that our local ageing population have the opportunity to transition into care in their own community, close to family and friends. Wharekaka, has been sent to Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, major party leaders, and each Wairarapa-based MP, outlining how devastating it would be “if Wharekaka was unable to cope financially and had to close”. The residents want their representatives to “fight for us by increasing government funding to fully meet all personnel wages in our small, intimate and precious homes”. In their letter, the residents said it was “with great pleasure” that they were told of last year’s increase of wages for their carers “who certainly go ‘above and beyond’ what

anyone could expect in their care for us”. “Although you, as Government representatives, made the move to pay equity [which we applaud] we believe that the funding provided by you did not fully cover this increase in wages and, as a result, Wharekaka is struggling financially even further to be able to keep within budget.” In comparison to the not-for-profit side of aged care, Ryman Healthcare, which runs 32 retirement villages around the country reports full year underlying profit of $203.5 million, up 14.2 per cent last year. The letter from Wharekaka residents state

that larger organisations like this had more financial leeway to accommodate such increases as their financial pool was “so much bigger”. “Our small home is vital to us and to our community . . . it would be devastating for us if Wharekaka was unable to cope financially and had to close. “We are requesting that you realise the difference between the vulnerable, intimate homes – especially run as Trusts – and the massive, money-making complexes when it comes to providing funding.” Wairarapa National MP Alastair Scott, who visited the residents on Friday, said the government needed to consider new models of services and financial support for rural and regional elderly care facilities to ensure their survival. “The number of people living in Wairarapa aged over 65 is set double over

the next 25 years. “It is vitally important that our local ageing population have the opportunity to transition into care in their own community, close to family and friends.” Wairarapa-based Labour list MP Kieran McAnulty said the issues raised by Wharekaka had also been raised directly with him by Arbor House in Greytown and Carter Court in Carterton. “Wairarapa is lucky to have three communityowned, not-for-profit rest homes. “It means our elderly can access them where they live, and not have to pay as much as some larger, corporate providers. “However, the challenge is that community-owned not-for-profits have often been overlooked in Government policy.” He said he had written to the Health Minister seeking clarification as to what work is underway for the community-owned

not-for-profits. “What the Minister says will determine where we go from here but I’m very keen to go into bat for them.” Defence Minister Ron Mark, NZ First, said as a Wairarapa resident he was “very happy” when aged care workers were given a much-deserved pay rise. “However, I do appreciate there are continued pressures on our smaller and local rest homes. “Currently, the Ministry of Health is working with other agencies to develop further options for addressing the challenges we face in aged care. “This advice is due by the end of 2018. “The Government wants to ensure we have a suitable workforce in aged residential care. “It is important to ensure our elderly residents are able to live with dignity by remaining in their communities.”

Girl, 8, dies in Masterton car crash Emily Ireland

Kids show off school ‘spirit’ An injured elderly man was saved by two school children in Martinborough recently. The kids, Hana Liumaihetau, 11, and Titan Te Kani, 8, were walking home from Martinborough School on October 24 when they walked past a house and heard someone calling for help. They raced in to ﬁnd an elderly man laying injured on the ground. He had been doing his neighbour a favour and was putting his wheelie bin out for collection, had fallen, and was laying injured on the ground. The man had been pressing his medic alarm, but due to him being out of distance from his house, it was unable to work. He told the children to call for an ambulance. Titan ran oﬀ to get help and Hana stayed with the man for more than 40 minutes until the ambulance arrived.

Pedal for Parkinson’s was diagnosed with Parkinson’s back in the 1980s, but has not let that hold him back. He’s raced in Europe, ridden from Auckland to Wellington in under 20 hours – and still holds the world record, and has kept working in his Masterton bike shop until recently. Brian believed that the diagnosis put things into perspective for him. “I found that cycling and keeping ﬁt helped to deal with the Parkinson’s. “It’s a disease, not a life sentence.” Fellow Wairarapa cycling legend, Rod Sutherland, was prompted to assist Parkinson’s Wairarapa when his wife Ruth was diagnosed with the disease. “I watched as Parkinson’s robbed her of her love of painting and diminished her physical abilities. “We joined the local branch to help other suﬀerers by organising

fundraising events such as this ride.” Together Brian and Rod, plus many other dedicated volunteers, are collaborating to make this Pedal for Parkinson’s a spectacular fun ride. “A ride such as this doesn’t just appear out of thin air,” Brian said. “There have been many people involved, not just cyclists but other members of the community.” Rod agreed: “We couldn’t have done it if it wasn’t for the generosity of the landowners and farms on the coast. They have played a big part in opening up their land for our use and we certainly appreciate that.” • Registrations have opened for Pedal for Parkinson’s through Eventﬁnda. • For more details on the ride, check out www. hurihuri.co.nz.

Whitebait project lures conservationists Walt Dickson For a family of whitebaiters, ‘catch and not-eat’ was always going to be hard to stomach. It’s not that 11-year old Xanthe Carrig wasn’t on board – it was her idea – rather her whitebait fritter-loving mum was the one who needed convincing that their catch of the little translucent fish should be spared the frying pan just this once. And they were, much to the appreciation of Xanthe’s classmates as it meant that their project could go ahead. Under the guidance of Mountains to Sea Wellington, St Teresa’s Primary School in Featherston is rearing the tiny native fish in a classroom fish tank. They will monitor the water quality with regular testing. Keeping a close watch on its occupants, it is hoped that the class of about 20 Year 5 and 6 students will gain a better understanding of whitebait and their habitat. Later in the term, the fish will be returned to the wild, down at Ocean Beach where Xanthe and her

mum netted them. The project is one of many being run by Mountains to Sea which delivers freshwater and marine education programmes for schools and communities across the greater Wellington region. Its director, Zoe Studd, says the aim is to provide young people with the opportunity to have a greater connection to nature, enabling a more meaningful understanding of conservation issues. “Ultimately, we want to create a whole new generation of Kaitiaki (guardians) who are equipped with the right knowledge to take action for the environment,” Zoe said. What better place for this to happen than in southern Wairarapa, home to Wairarapa Moana wetlands, the largest remaining wetland in the lower North Island. Wairarapa Moana includes Lake Wairarapa and Lake Onoke, and their surrounding wetland areas. It is of national and international importance due to its significant cultural, ecological,

and recreational character values. More than a century of development, however, including drainage and flood control schemes, has left the wetland in a seriously bad state. The Wairarapa Moana Wetlands Project, a joint venture involving local and central government, and local iwi, was launched in 2008 with the aim of restoring this “wetland treasure”. Greater Wellington Regional Council is a key partner, and also a funder

of Mountains to Sea which has been working with several South Wairarapa schools on Wairarapa Moana related projects. For the project to succeed it will require a massive collective effort from multiple partners, perhaps none more important than this new generation of conservationists. Led by the enthusiasm of classroom teacher Liz Lark, a Year 7 and 8 class at St Teresa’s took part in the The Whitebait Connection.

This programme focused on monitoring the health of Donald’s Stream, (a tributary waterway of the Wairarapa Moana Wetlands), and developing a plan to protect and enhance its plant and insect life. “We are teaching our students to become better equipped at looking after the environment where they live,” Liz said. She is encouraged by the amount that her Year 5 and 6 students already know about Wairarapa Moana – its significance

and precarious state. Daniel Walker, 10, says he understands that before too long the lake will be “dead” if more is not done to look after it. For fish fan Van Rozing, 9, that would be truly devastating. He finds whitebait fascinating. “Did you know,” he said, “New Zealand has five species: inanga, (the most common and the guests in the classroom tank), banded kokopu, giant kokopu, shortjaw kokopu and koaro.” An interesting fact is that other than inanga, all are “very good climbers” and can “leap really high”. It’s that inability to climb which keeps inanga downstream and in coastal areas living in shoals, making them easy prey for hungry whitebaiters. But that’s okay, is the general consensus in Xanthe’s class, providing more is done to protect Wairarapa Moana which will ensure whitebait stocks are plentiful. • For more information on the Wairarapa Moana Wetlands Project go to www. waiwetlands.org.nz.

This month we’re consulting on the Alcohol Control Bylaw – make sure you come along to the public meeting on 19th November at Masterton Club. This is an opportunity for any person or organisation to discuss their views on the proposed Alcohol Control Bylaw with elected members. Finally, a great event is planned for November 18 with community members volunteering to run a guided walk of the Waiwaka stream.

Last week Masterton District Council adopted the Annual Report for 2017-18.

It was a busy year, as the below statistics demonstrate:

The report covers off all of the Council’s financial and non-financial performance measures. Financially, MDC did extremely well with a very positive result: we ended the year up with a surplus of $2.57 million.

 Resealing of 24km of roadway

This stream runs through urban Masterton and I hear there a lots of hidden treasures to discover along the walk. Registration details are below. Mā te wā, Lyn.

Overall, we had an ‘accounting’ surplus of $67.48 million. This includes things like the revaluation of your assets, money we have received to invest in the direct impacts of the growth and development of our region (known as financial and development contributions) - enabling us to create new assets or expand the capacity of your existing ones. On our non-financial performance, we achieved 70 per cent of our target measurements.

 Rehabilitation of 2.3km of sealed road pavement  The supply of 4.7 million litres of safe drinking water to the community  The renewal of 2.9km of water mains in Masterton  Renewal of 2.4km of sewer main  29 Community Development grants awarded  17 per cent increase in building consents In the next couple of weeks a summary of our full annual report will be made available.

Civic Centre research begins The civic centre is the biggest project Masterton District Council will undertake in the next ten years. With an investment of $15.5 million, we need to make sure we get it right. That’s why we’ve engaged specialists to undertake research into market demand,

economic impacts and financial feasibility. This work will help us fine-tune exactly what sort of development the civic centre needs to be – what size and what service it will offer the community. We’re looking forward to sharing some of these results with the community.

LIQUOR CONTROL BYLAW Masterton District Council is reviewing its Liquor Control in Public Places Bylaw as the first stage of a wider bylaw review. We want your feedback. The biggest change we’re proposing is the new name – to Alcohol Control Bylaw. While there are only minor changes proposed, the bylaw does set out areas where liquor cannot be consumed in the Masterton District, including giving MDC the ability to make temporary alcohol-free zones, such as at Castlepoint and Riversdale. Head to our website or call us for more information.

Masterton flood hazard reduces Masterton District Council has been working with the Greater Wellington Regional Council to update data on Masterton’s flood hazard. Last week new maps were published which outlines the flood spread in urban Masterton. Overall, it shows a reduction in the likely flood spread for urban Masterton in a significant and infrequent flood. Some areas will be affected, and more of the urban area comes into

the hazard zone when climate change is factored in, however, the impact is less than what we previously thought. What is important is that we have time to mitigate this flood hazard. Some mitigation options are being worked through currently - you’ll be asked for your feedback on what options you prefer in the coming months.

8 Wairarapa Midweek Local News Wednesday, November 7, 2018

No ordinary conservation job Steve Rendle Joe Hansen has buried sperm whales, shot countless deer and goats, been mixed up in one murder case, and found the key evidence in another. And that’s on top of finding lost trampers, building bridges and huts, and putting out fires. So don’t try telling him staying in one job for 50 years could be dull. Hansen, 67, retired from the Department of Conservation (DoC) in Masterton last week, 50 years to the day from when he started in 1968 as Forest Service cadet. “The payroll guy reckons it was actually 50 years and one day, but I think I’m right.” And it probably doesn’t pay to argue the facts too often with Hansen. He’s kept a diary every day since he left school in 1968, and has a great memory for dates. He began his career at woodsman’s school in Golden Downs in Nelson. After a couple years in Nelson, he returned to Wairarapa and that is where he spent the bulk of his career, apart from a couple of years in Hari Hari on the South Island’s West Coast.

Hansen remains a fit bloke – he played prop for Wairarapa Bush against the British Lions in 1977 – and hunting has been a huge part of his working life, though he baulks if you suggest some recreational hunters might not consider it work. “Shooting goats out of a helicopter, that sounds a bit glorified, but once you’ve done it as many times as I have . . . it gets

bloody cold with all the doors of the helicopter open.” Hansen took over the Te Kopi field centre at Aorangi Forest Park on the Wairarapa south coast in 1974, and he and wife Carol raised two boys during 25 years living in the homestead, where he was the first and last ranger. Having worked in just about every field role for

DoC, Hansen’s broad range of experience has often been called upon. “Anything that came along that I’d done before, I would get involved in,” he said. “I used to have a lot to do with whales coming ashore. We had six in one go in 1985 – six big sperm whales.” On the same night DoC recognised Hansen’s retirement last Thursday,

he received recognition from Fire and Emergency for 50 years of service to rural firefighting, and from the Police for the same length of service to search and rescue. He was one of many called into help search for Featherston six-year-old Coral Burrows in 2003. “I was flying around in a helicopter and it had been raining a lot and I just saw this thing bobbing

down Abbotts Creek. And it happened to be Coral’s schoolbag. “That basically turned it from a missing person search to a homicide enquiry.” It was not his first brush with the darker side of humanity, however. In 1999, Powell Hut in the Tararua Range burnt down, close to the time the decomposed body of Terri King was found. He was thought to have links with organised crime and drugs, and was shot in the back of the head. “The fire guy rang me at 3 o’clock in the morning and said there was a fire in the hills. I looked out the window and said to Carol ‘that’s Powell Hut’.” Away from the drama, it is the people of DoC that Hansen will really miss. “They’re what make it really. That’s what I’m going to miss more than anything. There’s some great people in DoC.” Hansen and his wife are reversing the trend of moving into town for their retirement by moving permanently out to their property at Kaiwhata Valley south of Riversdale, where they plan to continue to offer homestays.

DIABETES WAIRARAPA PRESENTS

A LUNCH DATE WITH JAX Things to look for before entering into a building contract Building you own home can be an exciting time. This information sheet sets out some guidelines on what you should consider before you select your builder and sign a building contract: • The most important thing that you can do is to do your homework on the builder. Ask to see other houses he has built. Talk to other owners about their experiences. There is a lot of information on the internet so “Google” your builder and his company. Check the Companies Office website and the Insolvency Services website to see if your builder has had any companies that have been struck off in the past or if the builder has been bankrupted. • Does your builder have the necessary level of registration from the Department of Building and Housing to oversee the work? Is the builder a Registered Master Builder or a Certified Builder (CBANZ)? • Check the price of the building contract. Is it fixed price or any estimated price? If they can’t give you a fixed price - why not? Where possible you should try to get a fixed price contract which means that the builder will take the risk of price increases. This will also incentivise the builder to complete the job quickly to avoid overrun delays. If the contact is a fixed price contact you must check the plans and specifications very carefully as any adjustment to these after the building contact has been signed may increase the final price. Does your price include Council fees, site work and landscaping? Also what are the provisions relating to variations and provisional costs? • The building contract should provide that builder will apply for the building permit and apply for and obtain the Code of Compliance Certificate (CCC). Final payment should not be made until the CCC has issued. Owners often try to save money by doing works themselves but if you do this builder will require you to apply for and obtain the CCC. Because of this, it can sometimes make sense to get the builder to do all of the works. • You should check the title to find out if there are any “building Covenants” which you must comply with. • Make sure that there is a completion date in the building contract and that there is a maintenance retention of say 10%? of the total contract price for say three (3) months any defects in the building are rectified but builders may not agree with this. • In addition all building contracts should provide for a maintenance period. Generally if any problems arise during this period the obligation is on the builder to come back and fix these at no cost to you. This period can vary from 30 days to 12 months. You should negotiate for a period of at least 90 days but the longer the better. You can save a lot of money and a lot of stress by getting your building contract checking by me before you sign it - e-mail me at simon@thepropertylawyer.co.nz or call me on 0800 249 529 for more information. I offer a free initial appointment to discuss this matter with you or anything legal. I also operate throughout the Wairarapa and beyond. Office: 227 Chapel Street, Masterton.

Top Tips For Tasty Tomatoes

The time has hopefully come to plant your tomato plants outdoors (although the wild weather over the weekend may make some beg to differ)! Tomatoes are a great “fruit” to grow for the home garden. They don’t need too much maintenance or room, and almost everyone likes a freshly picked tomato in a sandwich, added to a salad, or even fried on the BBQ. Here’s a few handy hints to get the best out of your tomatoes this season.

PICK YOUR SPOT WISELY Tomatoes need a warm spot with shelter from harsh wind - but air movement is important to prevent fungal diseases. Try not to plant in the same soil that has had tomatoes, potatoes, peppers or eggplants in the past two years to avoid potential harbouring problems. If you have no alternative then dig out the soil and replace with Tui Tomato Mix (or there are many varieties that can be grown in pots). PLANT THEM DEEP This is a very important tip. Burying them deep in a well nourished hole will give them the best start at life. They will develop a strong root system, the plant will be stronger and more able to cope with adverse weather etc. If you are growing a tall growing variety then make sure you get a stake and put that in the planting hole – doing it later may damage the roots. Water after planting and add a thin layer of Daltons Mulch & Grow (keep away from the stem).

Burnet’s Tom-A-Rite. 200ml $11.90. A safe foliar feed that is also great for African Violets, Buxus, Eggplants, Pot Plants & Chrysanthemums.

FEED & WATER THEM WELL Tomatoes are hungry feeders so have some quality products on hand throughout the season. If you are growing in the garden then Kings Tomato Food has specific goodness for tomatoes (but don’t use this in containers). Burnets Tom-A-Rite is a great product for the garden or pots. This is a foliar feed which immediately feeds & increases the absorption of nutrients (along with many other benefits). Ensure your plants have constant moisture – when they are established a deep thorough soaking every few days is far better than a sprinkling every day. Deep watering encourages the roots to travel down deep into the soil. Avoid watering the foliage, once again to avoid fungus issues. SO MUCH TO CHOOSE FROM! We have grown thousands of tomatoes here on site, and because these are bigger & more established you will get fruit quicker. We also stock grafted varieties and punnets of 6 – but our GardenBarn grown are definitely good value for money! Some to select from include: Sweet 100: The popular sweet cherry tomato that are wonderful for popping straight into the mouth! Pioneer: A great one for our region as it sets fruit in lower temperatures, a top indoor & outdoor variety. Scoresby Dwarf: A popular old variety that doesn’t require staking. A good choice for containers.

Senior’s selfless service

Carterton

Elisa Vorster Masterton’s Nigel Boniface’s first official business as Senior of the Year is to repay his friends who “set him up”. Boniface was awarded the title last week at Age Concern Wairarapa’s annual awards – something which surprised him after listening to all the other great nominations. The awards held at the Carterton Courthouse acknowledged the community contributions of over 65s across the region. “About a month ago I got a letter saying I was a finalist and I thought ‘it’s a bit of a worry’,” Boniface said, laughing. “I don’t like a high profile.” So much so that Boniface attended the awards by himself and hadn’t yet told his friends and family of his win. “I guess they’ll find out in the Times-Age,” he told the Times-Age last week. Although his new title made him feel old, the 69-year-old was “pretty humbled” by the acknowledgement. “I think it’s a bit of a set-up by my friends – I didn’t expect to win.”

Joan Davis was named ﬁrst runner-up for her assistance to residents of local rest homes, her ongoing support to the families of the Armed Forces, fundraising for various organisations, and support to stroke survivors, including the lengthy care for her own husband during his illness. Second runner-up was awarded to this year’s Charles Rooking Carter award-winner Helen Dew for her advocacy and longstanding contribution to the Carterton community. She was also acknowledged for her contribution towards local governance procedures and the unconditional donation of her time and services to others. But it was Boniface’s long-term involvement in restoration and monitoring programmes for native bird life and assisting predator trapping in the Tararua Range that won the judges’ favour. He was also recognised for his involvement in the Holdsworth Restoration Trust, his participation in Wairarapa Search and Rescue, and his ongoing commitment to local organisations.

Presenting the award was Carterton Mayor John Booth who Boniface said he had been friends with for “30 odd years”. “We used to do the odd

climb together. “I was flying gliders and he was flying fixed wing planes – it was just a hobby.” The other named

ﬁnalists were Robert and Sue Brader, Ray Stewart, Maureen and Eric McEwen, Jan and Don Farr, Karen Chalmers and Coral Aitchison.

The book is a fascinating description of life in 1850’s Wellington as well as the early development of Wairarapa including Carterton’s home of daffodils at Middle run. Anyone interested in the early days of Wairarapa and the founding of Carterton should own this book.

Opinion

Living like a Sim I’ve done a lot of tough stuff in my life. But by far, the toughest thing has been adjusting to the life of being an adult and navigating who I am outside of the five days I spend at work. Call it a first world problem if you like (because it is), but I think it is a problem that many people will connect with. As a child, your days are filled with all sorts of things, school, playing, extra-curricular activities – and on top of that – you’ve got not a care in the world and no real responsibilities. Then you leave school, do some study, and then launch yourself head-on into the real world – or perhaps you skip the study part and go straight into the workforce. Either way, when you start dedicating those 40 plus hours each week to a job, and you dedicate all the other hours in between to trying to reset, and doing all those dumb adult tasks like

It’s like once you hit adulthood, you become this cog in a machine that never stops running. Some of you may know the game “The Sims”. It’s a life simulation game that allows you to create and control characters. The aim of the game is to fulfil the Sim’s aspirations, while attending to their needs like hunger, hygiene, bladder, social, energy, and fun. Your Sim has freewill to an extent, and when you let any of these needs drop too low, they’ll throw a

tantrum of some sort and complain. Some days, I feel like I’m a Sim being played by a complete novice. My energy’s down, my social is all the way down, and my fun is certainly down. So, I think to myself, if I was playing the game, and my Sim was feeling like this, how would I remedy the situation? I’d give my Sim a great meal, send them to bed, wake up, put them in a hot bath, and put them in front of an easel to paint – this would get their fun up and also increase their creativity skill. The only thing left to deal with would be the social need – so I guess it’s a good thing I have cats.

14 Wairarapa Midweek Extra Wednesday, November 7, 2018 KITTYCAT REHOMING Kittens season has arrived We have rescued our first feral kittens of the season. They are three kittens of a feral mother cat in Masterton. We have been trying to trap her for a couple of years but she evades the trap every time. We are concerned for her health as she has had many litters. Her kittens were rescued a couple of weeks ago at about six weeks of age so they were very easy to tame. These cuties will be available for adoption once they are desexed and vaccinated.

Volunteers needed

KittyCat Rehoming relies on the help of volunteers to help cats in our community. We don’t require our volunteers to commit to regular days/times/hours. We need volunteers to sell raffle tickets at supermarkets or fairs (no hard sell), foster cats and kittens, and transport to and from our vet. If you’d like to know more about our volunteering opportunities, call Lee on 021 0843 8935 or email kittycatrehoming@gmail. com

INTERNATIONALLY SPEAKING Former prime minister Sir Geoffrey Palmer QC and Dr Andrew Butler will be the final speakers in another busy Institute of International Affairs year in Masterton on November 14. Commenting on their talk, ‘A World of Evidence That We Need Constitutional Change’, Sir Geoffrey says, “We will be outlining our proposals developed now in two books for reforming the New Zealand Constitution”. In 2016, Palmer and Butler wrote A Constitution for Aotearoa New Zealand and in it they argued that New Zealand’s rules of government were hard for people to find and understand, unclear, and easy for Parliament and the Government to ignore or change. After considerable feedback, they have made extensive changes to their original proposals. Their revised ideas are set out in a new book, Towards Democratic Renewal, published in April 2018. The talk in Masterton will look at Constitutions in other countries and the lessons that can be learned from them. Sir Geoffrey Palmer was a law professor before entering New Zealand politics as the MP for Christchurch Central in 1979. In Parliament he held the

Since leaving politics in 1990, he has again been a law professor, a law firm partner, president of the Law Commission, and New Zealand’s Commissioner to the International Whaling Commission. Dr Andrew Butler has had extensive experience at trial and appellate level, in both public and commercial law. He has been an academic lawyer at the Victoria University of Wellington, where he taught comparative

constitutional law and human rights law, and later a member of the Crown Law Office. He has published on a range of commercial and public law issues. The meeting will be held in Masterton, at 8pm on Wednesday November 14 in the Seminar Room, Wairarapa Sports House, corner Chapel and Jackson Streets. All welcome. Visitors: $5 door charge. Tea and coffee will be served from 7.30pm. • For more information contact secretary Aileen Weston on (06) 372 5741, or email aileen. weston@orcon.net.nz.

Buildings without a title This Colin McCahon landscape, with Mapua wharf and sheds in the foreground, and the Richmond Range in the distance, was created with oilstick on paper, measuring 476 x 396mm. Aratoi publishes this item – of the 4,000 or so items in its permanent collection – as a reflection of the amount of building work happening across the Wairarapa these days. Colin McCahon did not title the artwork, which was gifted to the museum by Mary Prior. This weekly ‘Keepers’ features a work from the Aratoi Wairarapa Museum of Art and History collection, the only public collection of art in the Wairarapa.

A home for a pet

I am a special boy who needs a special home ... I am a very people focused dog and ideally will spend most of my time with my new bestie. Unfortunately I do not do well on my own. Due to my anxiety when left I will need a very secure house/run so I don’t try and come to find you. I am very agile and your average fence is no match for me. I would make an amazing tradesperson’s dog as I would love to come to work and hang out with you. I would especially enjoy sharing your lunch! If you are looking for a great boy who just needs a chance then please come in and meet me. Whittaker is with the SPCA and for further information contact the spca on 0800 467 732.

Support work programme launches careers Wairarapa students are using UCOL’s New Zealand Certificate in Health and Wellbeing (Support Work) to launch them towards careers in health and social services. The 22-week programme gives students the skills for employment in a range of support work roles, including caring for the elderly or people with disabilities, or move onto further study. For recent Support Work graduate Suzie Masoe, the programme was the first step towards her goal of becoming a registered nurse. As part of her studies, Suzie completed a placement at a retirement village, and made such a great impression that she was given a job two weeks in. Suzie said the Support Work programme helped her realise her potential, and she credits the supportive environment at UCOL for helping her thrive. “UCOL is very whanau-centred. “It’s probably the best move I’ve ever made. “This place suits me to a T. “It’s flexible and you have a bit of freedom; you’re not just in the class, writing all of the time.” Fellow Support Work graduate Jared Renata has taken the skills he learnt at UCOL into his new role as a Field Worker for Mosaic, an organisation that supports male survivors of abuse. Jared says helping people has always been a passion of his, and studying Support Work helped him develop skills he could apply to a variety of roles. “UCOL’s Support Work programme teaches you things like communication, empathy, and to notice changes in people’s heath, whether it’s mentally, or physically.” As a Mosaic Field Worker, Jared runs support groups and works to raise awareness about abuse towards males and to let survivors know that it okay to talk about their experiences. Jared also plans to take up further study in mental health and addiction. • People can apply for 2019 study at UCOL by visiting ucol.ac.nz.

New strategy coming Steve Rendle The man controlling $3 billion in funding for regional development will attend the launch of Wairarapa’s Economic Development Strategy, but it is not a guarantee that government money is heading our way. Regional Economic Development Minister Shane Jones, who controls the regional development fund, will join key Wairarapa stakeholders in Masterton for the launch of the strategy on November 12. Masterton Mayor Lyn Patterson admitted the Minister’s presence at the launch was “exciting” but stopped well short of saying the fund cash was as good as in the bank. Nevertheless, the launch marks the

culmination of work by former Labour Minister and Vice-Chancellor of Massey University Steve Maharey, who has supported development of the strategy alongside the region’s three mayors and key stakeholders, including iwi. Details of the strategy were yet to be released at time of print, but speaking on behalf of the mayors, Patterson said the end result was “a positive action plan for how to achieve economic growth”. Highly experienced public servant Dame Margaret Bazely, a long-time Carterton resident, will head up the governance group overseeing implementation of the strategy’s action plan. Maharey said the vision behind the strategy was how Wairarapa could offer the “best of rural and urban living”. “It focuses on our regional uniqueness

and our key opportunities and priorities. It is practical and deliverable.” Wellington Regional Economic Development Agency [WREDA] chief executive Lance Walker said the strategy was “critically important” and would help focus the region on its key strengths. “The Wairarapa is rightly considered one of the jewels in the Wellington region’s crown. While its fantastic lifestyle is well-known, it also has the potential for significant business growth and WREDA is looking forward to working with its council partners in delivering a strategy that aims to do just that.” The strategy will be made public on 12 November before being presented to Masterton, Carterton, and South Wairarapa Wairarapa Councils for endorsement.

Tree croppers’ celebration Forty years may not be too old for a tree, but for a group dedicated to growing them, 40 years is certainly a birthday worth celebrating. And celebrate they will – the Wairarapa branch of the New Zealand Tree Crops Association (NZTCA) will be having a 40th birthday tea party on November 24 to celebrate their achievements to date. The National Association of the NZ Tree Croppers had its beginnings back in 1974 when a group of far-sighted enthusiasts in Canterbury were so convinced of the vast, untapped potential for growing useful trees in New Zealand, that they formed themselves into a small association. Later the same year, they formally incorporated the New Zealand Tree Crops Association (NZTCA). It took another 14 years for the Wairarapa branch to sprout into life in 1988 which makes them 40 years old this month. According to chairperson Neil Douglas, the initial goal of the Wairarapa group was simple: they wanted farmers to plant more trees in their paddocks and not just for aesthetic reasons or to supplement their income, but to develop a more stable environment. “If farmers could be

persuaded to establish a gentle landscape of shelter and windbreaks, woodlots, orchards, fodder crops and mixed associations of all kinds of trees and useful plants, then those farmers would benefit from enhanced pasture production through the combined effect of leaf litter, shelter and nitrogen provided by the judicious use of nitrogen fixing tree species. “Other benefits would be an increase in the quality and diversity of fruits, nuts and timbers and their many useful by-products.” Over the years, members of NZTCA have had a major influence in introducing

or developing crops such as feijoa, olive, nashi pear, figs, walnut, hazel, chestnut and macadamia and less major crops such as pecan, almond, gevuina and pine nuts. In Wairarapa, pioneer tree croppers such as Peter Leerschool, grew hazels; Gordon Tarrant grew pecan, hazels, feijoas, and Brian and Lyne Sanders grew walnut, chestnut and feijoas. Akrotiri – P Swain and Greg Crowe – experimented with just about every imaginable Mediterranean crop from olives to nuts and figs. Many of the early olive growers were also tree

croppers. Tamara Allerhand and Dave Finn grow olives, gevuina and pistachio. Barry and Denise Quinn – Te Maire ridge – grew olives mainly but were also proud of their purchase of part of an early settler orchard with its heritage trees. The Van der Tol Pinnacle Grove walnut orchard included a national walnut variety trial as NZTCA sought to find out the best producing and highest quality walnuts for local production. Several Wairarapa properties were sites for fig variety trials. John and Liz Hancock

have in interest in oaks for acorn animal forage and have also experimented with other hardy fruits and shrub browse species intended as supplementary forage under drought conditions. Neil said tree croppers had helped introduce a range of potential crops to Wairarapa. “Who would have thought 40 years ago that growing olives, figs, nuts, feijoas or even citrus would be a commercial reality in the Wairarapa?” he said. “Of course, for tree like a walnut, chestnut or pecan, life is just beginning when you get to 40 years and that’s what we think of our Association too.” On Saturday, November 24, not only will the Wairarapa branch for NZTCA be celebrating their past achievements when they have their 40th birthday tea party, but they will also be encouraging the “sap to flow” so to speak, with budding new members to secure their Association’s future for another 40 years. • Contact Neil on 06 3771445 or email douglaseconomics@ gmail.com to find out about our celebratory birthday tea party and register your interest. • The event is on Saturday, November 24 from 3-7pm.

World Diabetes Day is on November 14, and Lions Clubs International have taken “Diabetes” as one of their five service projects. Lions Clubs throughout the world will be taking part in various “Diabetes” challenges. Carterton Lions Club member Pascoe Reynolds “Club Membership Chairman” was leading from the front when he invited eight guests along to a recent tea meeting. Since that meeting, President Steve Carson has proudly inducted two of Pascoe’s guests (Jaime Ellison and Andrew Rayner) into the club and welcomed them as new members of Lions Clubs International. Carterton Central Lions Club members took carloads of seniors out to see the sights around Carterton and Gladstone, including visits to an emu farm and to Gladstone School to see the scarecrow line-up. The outing finished up at St David’s Church for afternoon tea and a singalong. Members also helped the Blind Foundation by collecting during Blind Week. Masterton Holdsworth Lions Club members manned a site for the Pink Ribbon and Blind Foundation appeals recently. A very successful fashion parade was held in conjunction with Ballentynes Fashion Central, with proceeds

going to Life Flight Trust. The Club is selling the Lions Christmas Cakes this year as a fundraiser. Members looked after the Te Kowhai Hospice House both days for their “Country Christmas” fundraising weekend. A donation has been made to Outward Bound in support of a St Matthews Collegiate student. Masterton Host Waipoua Lions Club had their first meeting in October to start sorting through the thousands of books for their twice yearly book sale previously run by the Heart Foundation. Further information will be released in the near future on the date however if you have any spare books after your spring clean please can these be kindly dropped off at Colour Plus paint store in Queen St opposite REAP. Some amazing peace posters created by some of the local junior schools were recently displayed at Aratoi which was thoroughly enjoyed by the public with some very well deserved young winners being awarded. Thanks to Ross Bonnett for his superb organising of this event. Greytown Lions Club along with the Greytown Lioness Club collected for

Featherston Lioness Club has just celebrated its 29th anniversary with a lovely meal at the Welsh Dragon Inn in Featherston.

Welcome to November, my favourite month – Spring has arrived (albeit with the turbulent weather) and Christmas holidays are just around the corner. November also heralds the busiest couple of months in Wairarapa. There are all sorts of delicious activities and places to visit to stock up on gifts as well as indulge the senses. Toast Martinborough is on Sunday, November 18, but if wine all day long is not for you, then how about the Circus? They are in town from November 15 to 18. On a more sombre note it is the Armistice Centenary and there are a number of events in Featherston including the opening of the new sculpture in the town. In Martinborough we are waiting for the big opening of the new Waihinga Centre – what a change that will be for us. Pretty soon the Christmas parades will be starting and then it will be December 24 before we have had a chance to blink. As well as the normal pressure with work and the usual activities we get involved in, it is also hectic with school activities. Older students are going into exam mode and younger ones are doing all those Education Outside The Classroom activities and sports days. It is a lot for parents to juggle so you need to make sure you don’t overdo it. Chill out a little and don’t stress about it all – it’s not worth it. Your health is more important. Take a bit of time for yourself and read a book, under a tree or in a hammock (I don’t do hammocks anymore after falling out of them several times). It is that time of year when the publishers

We have many, many new books in our library which you can borrow but there are also some fantastic book shops around. We are so lucky to have them scattered through the towns and especially to have so many in Featherston. Martinborough is the only town not to have a dedicated bookshop so the library is especially important. We have a huge book sale every Monday in the

courtyard of retired library books – 33 boxes of them. Please come and buy some as I don’t want to have to lug them all the way to the new building. Well, this Saturday I am off to the Rathkeale Christmas Fete. It is one of my few opportunities to stock up on Christmas stuff before I get overwhelmed by everything else. I suggest getting there early (opens at 10) so you get the best picks and before they sell out. Have a great November, read books, chill out and prepare yourselves for a busy December.

Be prolific to get inspired 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 Read books for ideas and inspiration, just like Bob Dylan does

Bob Dylan is one of the world’s greatest ever songwriters. He started performing in the 1960s and is still active today. To be able to perform he needs to create the songs he sings, and to be able to create he needs to have the ideas that are the basis of his music, acknowledging this with his quote ‘inspiration won’t invite what’s not there to begin with’. Bob Dylan is a prolific reader, reading a wide range of material, from the classics of Charles Dickens through to today’s contemporary authors. The key is that reading provides him with the ideas and inspiration that are a significant part of his creations. Dylan claims that his songs simply come to him like a ghost is writing them, knowing that this ghost is all of the knowledge that he has accumulated through, in a large part, what he reads.

Manage the infinity pools in your life – starting with Netflix

The idea of the infinity pool is shared in the new book by John Zeratsky titled Make Time: How to Focus on What Matters Every Day. An infinity pool is something that we have access to that is almost never ending, with an example being Netflix. Prior to streaming

services, the television shows we enjoyed would be on TV once a week; after each episode we would eagerly await the next one seven days away. With streaming services now, the next show starts automatically as soon as the old one finishes, meaning we can get caught up in a binge watching process of spending our lives watching others in their fictional worlds, as opposed to having rich experiences ourselves.

The power of hustle

The power of hustle is described by YouTuber and photographer Matti Haapoja as the reasons for him achieving success in his craft. Despite Matti not being born with what he considers to be natural talent he has still gone on to achieve considerable success because of what he attributes to his willingness to hustle, a quality which he breaks down into five components: 1. A good work ethic. 2. Being proactive – not waiting for something to happen. 3. Keep working – be working on something, even when you don’t have a commissioned job or assignment. 4. Always be learning and keeping up to date with your area of expertise. 5. Not working too hard on something you’re not good at or isn’t a key part of what you do.

Focus on the details

Wes Anderson creates

Pablo Picssso was prolific with his art, producing 13,000 paintings, 100,000 prints and engravings, and 34,000 illustrations. PHOTO/GETTY IMAGES

wonderful films, with one recent example being the highly acclaimed Grand Budapest Hotel. One of the reasons for the success and quality of his movies is the attention that is given to detail, with an example in The Grand Budapest Hotel being an illustrator hired to design stamps that are barely visible in the movie – demonstrating that nothing is left to chance, including the finest of details. Added together, the attention paid to these intricate parts creates a masterpiece. The same concept can be applied in our own lives. Focusing on the small aspects will lead to what seem like minor details combining to create momentum that has us achieving the satisfaction and success that almost seems effortless but is, in fact, the result of addressing and not overlooking the little things.

Be prolific to find inspiration

Pablo Picssso was prolific with his art, producing 13,000 paintings, 100,000 prints and engravings, and

34,000 illustrations. The reason why he was able to get so much done was because he didn’t sit around waiting for inspiration to come to him, rather he just got on with things, getting started and finding the inspiration once the work had begun. Picasso is an example of a person who just got things done and through this produced art that was innovative, inspired, varied, and appealing to a wide audience. His success was essentially due to the fact he was prepared to work hard, with his hard work giving him a huge amount of joy and satisfaction in what he did.

Trade unproductive hours for useful ones

Casey Neistat is a person who gets a lot done. His YouTube channel has millions of subscribers and the content he creates is, in my opinion, fantastic, appealing to a wide range of people (my whole family enjoys his videos). A recent video of his discussed how he structures his day. One thing that he has recently done has been trading hours; Casey has started getting up two hours earlier and going to

bed two hours earlier. A reason for this is that he gets a lot done in that early morning period, whereas when he was going to bed two hours later, the last two hours were unproductive. What he has essentially done has been to trade two wasted hours for two highly productive ones, leading to a positive start to the day with a sense of real accomplishment, setting in motion a day of getting things done and the satisfaction of having done so.

Learn from those who have gone before you

Martin Scorsese is a director who has created some fantastic films, with a particular favourite of mine being the gangster film Goodfellas. One of the reasons he is so successful at his craft is that he learns from those who have gone before him, borrowing things that they have done to enhance his own creations. One example of this is the aforementioned Goodfellas; created in 1990 Scorsese acknowledges how he borrowed aspects of the 1931 film The Public Enemy to improve the final cut of his own film.

The sun’s smallest planet Sky Watch

Nick Sault Mercury reaches greatest elongation tonight. What does that mean? Mercury’s orbit is so much closer to the sun than Earth’s that people mostly never see it because it is either setting close behind the sun in evening or rising slightly before it in the morning. In either case, most of the time it is washed out by twilight. Tonight, Mercury has its widest separation from the sun from our perspective. 8.30pm is the best. Even so, you need to be able to see low down in the western horizon, which means you need to get away from the ranges – maybe Martinborough and further east. Brighter Jupiter will be setting there and nestling right by the Scorpion’s arrow-like head. Mercury will be slightly higher in the sky, and it is right beside the red star Antares, possibly outshining it. Don’t worry if it’s cloudy, as the configuration will be the same for a few days.

If you are out somewhat later in the evening, the eastern horizon starts to provide the treat. Watch for the dog, the hunter and the bull rising after 10.30pm, making a wonderful eastern star scape. Just south of east, the dog star Sirius, in the constellation of Canis Major (big dog), rises. At the same time and almost due east, the great constellation of Orion the hunter is back with us, his three-star belt pointing the way to Sirius. Again, at the same time, in the north-east the very ‘V’ shape of the bull’s horns appears, and further towards north, Taurus is accompanied by the little cluster of stars that astronomers call Pleiades and the Maori call Matariki. The appearance of these bright constellations marks the beginning of the summer season. Okay, it’s still early spring, but these stars will be with us over the summer evenings.

The sun’s smallest planet Mercury compared to Earth.

Throughout winter, we have been treated to a planetary brigade, and we have been rather spoiled for bright objects, with Venus, Jupiter and Mars dominating the evenings. Mars is still with us, almost overhead after

dark, but he isn’t the object he was back a few months ago when for a while he outshone Jupiter. So, it is good that we have a new array of bright sky objects coming up in the east for our summer. But it is not all that

bad for bright planets, as the lovely Venus is rising before the sun for the pleasure of those “lucky” enough to be up before dawn. Up next: Zodiacs across the sky and comet news.

Connecting nationally at volunteering conference Many of our ‘not for profit’ organisations who deliver their services nationally have conferences once a year that are organised and hosted by the city-based offices. These events are a wonderful way to gain inspiration and connect with our fellow workers around the country. Last week, Rowena and I attended the Volunteering New Zealand Conference in Christchurch. It is empowering to swap contact details, share our challenges, gain ideas, hear from national and international experts and reinvigorate our passion to make our communities stronger and happier. The Minister for the Community and Voluntary Sector, Peeni Henare, opened the conference and commented on the Prime Minister’s statement that she wants all New Zealanders to be earning, learning, caring and volunteering. This seems to align with the Government’s announcement of a focus on wellbeing indicators in the 2019 Budget.

Opportunities at Volunteering Wairarapa ‘Henley Lake Conservation Volunteers’ – Saturday, November 10 Meet at the southern end of the Henley Lake car park off Columbo Rd in Masterton with a spade (if you have one).

Volunteering Wairarapa

Jill Greathead As volunteers make a vital contribution to the social development, the economy, and the environment of this country, then volunteering must be actively supported and valued. My personal inspiration from the conference is to

work towards a goal that ‘no one in our community wakes up in the morning with nothing to do’. Over the past few days, we heard a lot about social isolation, loneliness, and depression throughout New Zealand. Volunteers have a large

part to play in providing the care that is needed to lesson these issues. With a growth in the number of community groups and the number of volunteers signing up with us over the last twelve months, I can see that we are starting along that path. Volunteering can make a huge difference in peoples’ lives making them feel part of our community and that can be the stepping stone that we all need to become stronger and happier.

Christmas on Queen Volunteers – Saturday, December 1 Volunteers are needed to support the event organisers such as assisting with children’s games, monitoring recycling bins, marshalling at road closures, or wearing a character costume. Skills Required: Enjoy helping the public (two-hour sessions are required). • Interested in finding out more – contact Jill Greathead on 0274 884 376 or email admin@ waivc.org.nz.

Connecting with nature Throughout October, Whaiora in Masterton has been promoting Mental Health Awareness with their clients and wider Wairarapa communities. Key messages have focused on the value of connecting with nature, which tied in with this year’s theme for Mental Health Awareness Week: Let nature in, strengthen your wellbeing – Ma te taiao kia whakapakari tou oranga. Whaiora’s Practice Nurse Sherry James has been gifting native trees to Whaiora’s clients as a way to let nature into their daily lives. “I decided to dig up selfsown native trees from my property and leave them in the practice for patients to take and “let nature in”. A positive affirmation note was attached to each tree, handwritten by Sherry, to encourage clients to reflect on their wellbeing. Guiping Xiao, one of Whaiora’s Family Start Social Workers, has been gifting flower and fruit tree

cuttings from her home garden. This has included black and red currants, gooseberries and fuchsias. Guiping handwrote helpful instructions for clients to ensure the best possible growth outcomes. The Mental Health

Foundation suggests that we all spend time in nature with family, friends and community to uplift our wairua (spirit) and those around us. By doing so we can receive and give strength to each other and feel the beneﬁts in our daily lives.

Tough problems pondered on tramp Paul Carson

MISSIE - 5024

On Thursday morning, October 4, three men rode by Toyota to Castlepoint and parked up near the sand dunes. We walked to the base of Matira (Castle Rock) via Deliverance Cove Track, had a cuppa before tackling the steep climb and to settle our nerves because none of us like heights, and startled a pair of Paradise Shelduck as we carefully made our way up the narrow track. The nor’wester was stiﬀ as we approached the ﬁrst high point. As we scrambled to the

southern high-point we found a hollow, somewhat sheltered, where we solved problems for the government on a range of issues such as logging, environmental care, transport – to name a few. Exhausted by that rather unnecessary expenditure of energy we headed back down the track, detouring around toward the beach track, all the time wondering how the place would hold up in the next earthquake. Feeling much more at ease on the beach we strode conﬁdently toward the lighthouse, occasionally

quick-stepping to the incoming tide of the lagoon. Castlepoint Lighthouse stands in solitary magniﬁcence when you’re next to it but from Matira it’s just tiny. We decided to watch the light show via livestream rather than staying the night there and found a pleasantly sheltered picnic table to enjoy our lunch and cuppa. Icecream treats from the Castlepoint Store signalled a satisfying end to special place in our Wairarapa walks collection. The three men were Jason, Nigel, and Paul.

this Saturday Now an established and popular part of the Wairarapa Festive Season, Rathkeale’s 2018 Christmas Fete is promising to be better and more exciting than ever before. Stall holders will again travel from near and far to offer a varied range of temptations for the Christmas shopper: decorations, food, clothes, artistic works, plants, books, flowers, toys, and much more. With over100 market stalls there is something to suit everybody. Gourmet food is always a highlight of the Fete and once again there will be plenty to tempt the taste buds. Don’t forget those wonderful venison burgers and curries last year! A Devonshire Tea in the Rathkeale Homestead rose garden is a time honoured tradition, or perhaps a cold beverage as you take in the varied entertainment of the day will be more appealing. The Rathkeale cake stall, second-hand books and clothing stalls are all highly recommended, but get in early, as the cakes often sell out by midday. More than ever, this will be a fete for the whole family and youngsters will revel in the opportunity to ride on the miniature truck, to make the most of the bouncy castle, or have their face painted. Youngsters and adults alike enjoy the live music performances at various times throughout the day. Now into its seventeenth year, the Rathkeale Christmas Fete will certainly offer a great outing for the whole family and should not be missed. Saturday 10th November. Gold coin entry. Eftpos available. Open from 9am until 3pm.

Parkinson’s event: Walk in my shoes For the past week, people around New Zealand have commemorated Parkinson’s Awareness Week with a variety of events and fundraising. Last Thursday, Parkinson’s Wairarapa community educator Jane Flowerday coordinated a local Parkinson’s Awareness event at Wairarapa Masonic Village.

Wet weather forced the dozens of participants inside, but fun was still had, with a walking relay and limbo keeping everyone active. Participants also wore this year’s Parkinson’s Awareness Week’s signature branded blue shoelaces tying in with the theme “Walk in my Shoes”. Walk In My Shoes is a

call to action. By lacing up with the Parkinson’s shoelaces and getting out in the community, supporters are helping build awareness of Parkinson’s. • To keep up with what’s happening Parkinson’s New Zealand, and the Wairarapa branch, visit www.parkinsons. org.nz.

Peter King is retiring after taking care of the family business for more than forty years. PHOTO/FILE

End of an era A fourth-generation woodworking company will close its doors this month, after 131 years of service in Wairarapa. After taking the reins of the family business in 1976, woodworker Peter King is retiring, citing ill health as one of the reasons for selling up. He said the business had not found a buyer after several months on the market and if no buyer was found by November 30, assets would need to be sold separately. Under King’s management, the company became well-known in the region for the design and manufacture of solid timber kitchens and joinery. The company, now located on Broadway in Carterton, was founded by King’s great grandfather, Daniel Thomas “DT” King in 1887. “I am of course saddened that such a long family heritage must come to an end, but my health has to be a priority,” King said. Much of the equipment used by the company in the early days, along with staff photos and other memorabilia,

Our biggest shout-out must be to our wonderful customers and talented staff. They have shared our love of natural timber and have been the lifeblood of our business.

is housed in a small family museum alongside the company’s Carterton office, which he said would remain open after the business is closed. He said his company helped introduce timbers such as blackwood, elm and macrocarpa to the commercial market and had become distinguished within the industry for using sustainable plantation species – something which wasn’t common practice at the time. “The King legacy and solid wooden joinery, made from timber from sustainable sources, has been the focus of my working life.” He and his wife, Annette had made great friendships with architects, kitchen and bathroom retailers and fellow joiners over the years, “but our biggest shout-out must be to our wonderful customers and talented staff”. “They have shared our love of natural timber and have been the lifeblood of our business. “I would also like to thank the Carterton community. It has been hugely supportive of our business and family through the generations.”

Road beyond repairing Enid Meyer

Wai Write

Driving along at a reasonable speed, I was suddenly confronted by a man waving a flag. “Road works ahead,” was all he said. I waited for him to say more but it seemed he was a man of few words. I drove on more slowly waiting for the meaning to become clear. Ahead of me I saw a line of cars waiting to drive past the obstacle. Nothing was visible from where I was parked and there seemed to be no point in walking to where I might find the answer to the question. Finally the cars moved on so I revved up the motor and took my place in the queue. Ahead of me, I could see men in uniform and others wearing safety gear. “Whatever could have gone wrong in this little piece of heaven?”, I asked myself. As I watched, the man who had stopped me earlier, came along on a motorbike. I put the window down to see if he would enlighten me but he just went on ahead weaving through the on coming traffic. Well the road wasn’t closed entirely, I thought as they passed. Soon, I was given the

sign to move on. I took a careful look out the window. There had been a one-way bridge on this road that had taken a hit with the earthquake and also the storms that were supposed to be ‘hundred year storms,’ but came now about once a month. Perhaps that was it? My motorbike friend was holding a ﬂag and waving cars past the large drop-out on the road ahead. It didn’t look very safe to me, and the men with shovels who stood around could do very little to help. Hands were waved about as they discussed the problem and oﬀered solutions, but it all seemed of no avail to me.

INBOROUGH SQUAR E MART E H IN T

Any pressure on the remaining bitumen would cause it to break off and join the rest of the chaos three meters below, and take the unlucky driver with it. I opened the window and tried to ask the flag bearer if I could turn around and go home. He brushed the question off saying, “I can’t answer that. It’s on your own head”. So I decided to have a go. I inched the car as close to the verge as possible and moved around a little then backed back and turned a little more. Soon I was facing the other way and sped towards the open road which lay ahead.

No more excitement for me today. I watched the papers every day to see how they would ﬁx the hole in the road but I never saw a word about it mentioned, to the point I wondered if I had imagined the whole thing. Had I gone to sleep and dreamed it? But one day, a week or two later, I heard the politicians talking about the closure of a road which was seldom used and the farms on the land passed the bridge would be taken over and used by the land Corp as the road was beyond repairing. So much for our road taxes which were meant to keep the roads in order. I felt sorry for the

farmers, as this area was where I grew up and my family had been there for a hundred years. Oh well, that’s progress I suppose, but not in my mind. I was having a drink at the local with some mates when a man walked in and came to say “Hello”. It was the motorbike hero who had stopped the cars from driving into the hole. He said he had just been for a spin on the bike when he came across the hole in the road. He called the police and set out to stop any one from being dropped into the hole by waving the ﬂag oﬀ his bike. • Enid Meyer is a member of the Blairlogie Writer’s Group. • The group usually meets on the last Friday of each month in the Wairarapa Genealogy Society Rooms next to the Archive on Queen St in Masterton.

Mangatainoka is humming with the news that the little township will once again host a pre-season Super Rugby match, this time featuring arch-rivals ‘local side’, the Hurricanes taking on the Blues. It’s certainly been a long time between drinks for rugby fans in the town as the last pre-season Super Rugby match played there was in 2013. But come February 9, all that will change, when a farmer’s paddock will once again be transformed into a top-notch pitch ready to host the Battle at the Brewery. The match on February 9 will see the welcome return of the two popular teams to the township which hosted pre-season matches between 2010-2013. The Hurricanes played the Blues in Mangatainoka in 2010, the Chiefs in 2011 and 2013 and the Crusaders in 2012. The local community are eagerly looking forward to next year’s event. Many have already have offered to lend a hand to ensure the welcome mat is laid out for all visitors. Nick Rogers, who runs the visitor experience at
