The rise of our hospice

Emily Ireland It’s hard to imagine Wairarapa not having a local hospice. But the threat of this was very real last decade. The shock closure of Wairarapa’s Hospice, run by Te Omanga, came after a 2006 Wairarapa District Health Board review found there were “gaps and duplications” in the palliative services oﬀered in the region. When the Wairarapa District Health

Board (DHB) took over responsibility for palliative care in 2008, Te Omanga Hospice’s specialist role was, and still is, provided from Hutt Valley. The closure and loss of the local hospice base drew an emotional response from the community. This is when Hospice Wairarapa rose up, oﬃcially opening its Renall St premises in 2010. It entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the DHB whereby hospice services were reintroduced to Wairarapa to supplement clinical

services under the DHB’s palliative care service Kahukura. Next week is Hospice Awareness week, and the Wairarapa Midweek is taking a look back at how Hospice Wairarapa rose from the ground to bring terminally ill people quality of life. This is the first in a 10-part Midweek series bringing awareness to the community about Hospice Wairarapa in an effort to increase support for the charity and the services offered.

Hospice philosophy

Suzie Adamson general manager of Hospice Wairarapa ﬁrmly believes that dying is a “social event”. Her involvement with hospice began 19 years ago when it was Te Omanga Hospice in Wairarapa. “My father died in Christchurch at 61 from cancer and because I lived here with my young family, I couldn’t get down Continued on page 4

Theft extinguishes Ryan’s light Emily Ireland When 18-year-old Ryan Crook took his own life last year, his mum Donna Harper turned a lamp on outside his bedroom window. It was Donna’s way of letting her son know where home was, and it was also a way of letting friends and family know that, if they needed to talk, “the light is always on” at her house. It is also reminiscent of Ryan’s funeral song, Leave a Light On. Just over a week ago, this lamp, which had been running non-stop since Ryan’s funeral, was stolen from Donna’s front porch. Though little hope remains for its return, Donna hopes that whoever has taken it can understand the impact the theft has had on her grieving process. “As soon as I knew it had gone, I had a panic attack about it. “You wouldn’t think something as simple as a lamp would have such a big impact, but the

point is, I wasn’t going to turn it off until it was the anniversary – and even then, I wasn’t sure I was going to do it because it has become ingrained in our lives.

“It means lot, and someone has gone and taken that away.” The first anniversary of Ryan’s death isn’t until July 22. “To some people,

the attachment may seem weird, but unless something like this has happened to you, you don’t know how important the little things are in your life. “I wasn’t ready for

anybody to turn that light off – that was for me to do. “And someone has come and taken that away. “I just feel like it’s just one more thing that has been taken away from me.” The table lamp has a brass base and a denim shade. Donna said the only reason she could think of that the lamp was stolen was because it was brass. “The ultimate thing is, I really want whoever

stole this to know that something that is $5 or $10 to them is somebody’s piece of their heart – and you can’t put a price on that – especially when that piece of heart belongs to somebody else. “I want them to just look into themselves. “What if that was a lamp for your brother or your mum or dad and someone took it away? “I just want it back, you know.”

Water outages to be expected as temporary chlorination nears Gianina Schwanecke Martinborough residents may be temporarily without water as the South Wairarapa District Council will be scouring and flushing pipes to remove any existing deposits in preparation for the temporary chlorination of Martinborough’s town water supply on May 13. The scouring and flushing process will be carried out over a six-day period ending Saturday, May 11. Water will be turned off in affected streets during this time as it can take between four to six hours to complete. The network flushing should help minimise the discolouration of the water that may be experienced after chlorine is added. Residents are advised

to fill up containers with water from their taps before the system is turned off for use during the shutoff period. They are also advised to not use hot water taps, washing machines, dishwashers or other appliances that use water during the shut-off period as this can lead to damage. Residents are also reminded to continue boiling all town water supply until after the notice has been lifted. Those with a medical dependence on water are asked to contact Jackie Buckley on 06 306 9611 ext. 831 as soon as possible. • More information can be found on the SWDC website, swdc.govt.nz/ martinborough-waterpipes-flushing-noticemay-2019

A worthy cause: Supporting our giving

FOR LIVING Continued from page 1 to see him as often as I wanted,” she said. “The palliative nurses were so good in supporting my dad, and so my sister and I decided we wanted to give something back.” She and her sister started with Te Omanga Hospice on Lincoln Rd, Masterton, as gardeners. “When Te Omanga didn’t get the contract for palliative care with the local DHB, I decided we needed to keep the Hospice philosophy going. “Hospice care isn’t just about physical care, it’s about emotional care, spiritual care, social care, ensuring that the locus of control goes back to the patient. “I set up meetings across the Wairarapa at the town halls … and long story short, more than 3600 people signed a petition to keep hospice care going in our community. “I shoulder-tapped people and we put a board together.” After registering as a charity, the board had enough funds saved from charity wine auctions to get a loan to buy the Renall St premises they are in today. This was helped with a $25,000 donation from Farmers. After six years on the board, Suzie applied for the job of manager and was successful in her application. There are only two fulltime staff members, six part time, and there is also a network of more than 130 volunteers.

In-patient unit

A common misconception about Hospice Wairarapa is that it has an in-patient unit on the Hospice premises. It does not.

s ng e i w m Vieelco W

In fact, there has never been a hospice with beds in Wairarapa. Much like today, Masterton’s Te Omanga Hospice that preceded Hospice Wairarapa did not have beds either – however it was in their long-term plan and that is the reason the first Charity Wine Auction was held in Martinborough in 2007 under the Te Omanga banner. But, providing an inpatient service has always been a goal for Suzie. “We’ve had an extension built and we have three rooms down the end, which at the moment are offices. “The vision I have is that we will eventually turn those into two 24/7 respite beds so people can come in and stay for respite, rest, or tweaking their medication. “The front room will become a last day’s bed so that people, unable to die at home for whatever reason, can use the space for family and whanau to be with them. “But we can’t afford it at the moment.” Suzie said with current funding levels, having an in-patient unit was not feasible. “I mean, we could open for 12 months, but the cost of staffing … well you need two registered nurses and a healthcare assistant, plus you need a doctor to come and sign off meds. “It’s so expensive. “But the only option people have if they can’t die at home, and with the best will in the world this is not always possible, is to die in a hospital bed or an aged care facility. “We’ve worked with the DHB to provide kits for those who are actively dying in the hospital to try to turn the room into more of a home-like environment, but the ultimate goal is to be able to provide a service here. “Dying is a social event, not just medical – we need to remember that.” The Wairarapa DHB

does not deem it “clinically safe or financially sustainable for 24/7 high specialty level care for a very small number of patients”. At any given time, there are about 120 people in the Wairarapa Hospice care network, however this includes patients and their family.

What Wairarapa Hospice does offer

Although Hospice Wairarapa does not currently have the means to offer an in-patient unit, there are many other things it does to give quality of life to Wairarapa people living with a terminal diagnosis. “We do bucket lists which are huge fun,” Suzie said. “We say to people, you tell us what you want to make the rest of your life – however long or short it may be – special. “As long as it’s not breaking the law, we’ll do our absolute best to pull off whatever it is they want to do. “We’ve sent people up in a helicopter, we’ve sent a family to spend time with their grandchildren at Castlepoint, we’ve done all sorts. “It’s fun and it’s a great reminder for each of us to really look at what we are doing ourselves. “You never know when you are going to get that bit of bad news.” She said life was short and people needed to live their dreams in their own way. “Every day I come to work, I’m really lucky to be reminded of what is important today. “The difficult things we deal with in our own lives is nothing compared to what these patients deal with – and yet, they are

full of hope – not that they are going to live and get through their illness – but that the rest of their journey will bring positive things and moments of joy. “That’s an incredible strength that human beings can pull from within.” Hospice Wairarapa offers more than 20 free services including free photography sessions for families using Hospice services, biographies on their loved ones, bereavement support, and therapy. In this Giving for Living series, the Midweek will spotlight these services offering further insight.

that there is no cure for a person’s condition and the priority therefore is to ensure patients get the most out of the limited time they have left. The patients’ physical, emotional, spiritual, and social concerns are taken into consideration. In Wairarapa, there are six facilities which provide hospital level palliative care. These are all aged care facilities: Arbor House, Roseneath,

Glenwood, Lansdowne Court, Metlifecare, and Lansdowne Park. Occasionally, people requiring in-patient palliative care may need to spend time in Te Omanga hospice in Lower Hutt. Wairarapa DHB service development manager Joanne Edwards said the Wairarapa palliative service aimed to achieve the vision “that all people with life-limiting conditions live well and die well irrespective of

their condition or care setting.” “The Wairarapa palliative care service is not just provided by one agency, but is a network of a number of agencies, each with a specific role, but working together. “If just one agency was deemed to provide palliative care in Wairarapa, as in the past, there is a risk of an insular and segmented system which would lack the strengths achieved

Suzie says Hospice Wairarapa is able to provide its service to the Wairarapa community because of the generosity of the people. “We can only do this because our community supports us. “We have a contract with the government that gives us about $10,500 a year. “Hospice, to operate, costs more than $600,000 a year. “We have our Hospice shop, which is really important, and we ask that people, if they have things they no longer want that are in good condition, please send them to the Hospice shop because we can turn your second-hand goods into first class care. “That gives us an income, but we are constantly searching for ways to pay for bucket lists, to pay for night support nursing, which we have a contract to provide, to pay for massage and podiatry, counselling, sending our patients out on an out-and-about

adventure where we give them lunch and they can go and do something special. “We’ve got rates and insurances to pay, electricity, there’s a lot.” Suzie said through Hospice Wairarapa’s Giving for Living club, people could support its services through regular small donations. “If 100 people pledged $5 a month, that would pay for our day respite programme. “A donation of $60 a month will pay for a counselling session, $40 will pay for a gentle touch massage, $37 pays for the printing of a patient biography, $15 pays for travel to visit three families. “Every little bit helps.”

Farmers vital to make change Comment

Mike Osborne We like to think that we are immune to the more severe eﬀects of global warming here in New Zealand. We’re lucky to be at a relatively high latitude and surrounded by water but it seems that the water isn’t as cool as it used to be. This year we had the third hottest summer on record and the previous year was the hottest. One of the reasons is that the temperature of the Tasman Sea water in has been unusually high. We also have a warm patch of water oﬀ the east coast that impacts our Wairarapa weather. A stable and predictable

climate is the foundation for productive agriculture. It continues to surprise that some in the farming sector disregard the impact of their greenhouse gas emissions. There are always climate variables but there are expectations that lead to farmers, horticulturists, vignerons, orchardists and others selecting the best suited varieties they intend to grow and the timings for planting and harvesting. However, the climate is changing. Clive Paton, of Ata Rangi vineyard, said recently that vintage now starts 10 days earlier than when he started back in the 1980s.

In a recent conversation with Vern Brasell from Kaiwaiwai Dairies in

South Wairarapa, it was fascinating to learn about the work being done in

New Zealand to reduce ruminant methane emissions. Our country has the highest proportion of greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture in the OECD. Hence, we have one of the biggest problems worldwide in dealing with methane emissions. Research and work are being done on inoculations into the rumen that reduce methane emissions. Additional research has shown that the make-up of the rumen in New Zealand cows is very similar to the rumen in cows everywhere. This means that solutions found here will be of beneﬁt worldwide. They say that necessity is the mother of invention. It’s a paradox that addressing the severity of the problem we face here has stimulated the innovative responses that

could make New Zealand a leader in this ﬁeld. Brasell said they are experiencing the impacts of climate change already. They are changing the grasses they are planting to more deep-rooted varieties better suited to drier conditions. Speaking of change, a recent Wairarapa Times-Age article “Growing trees to create more fresh air” (bit. ly/2GIzacp) was a great example of a farming couple addressing climate change. They have changed their approach to farming by planting a substantial area of trees to complement their existing beef and sheep herds. We won’t solve climate change without our farmers on board. It’s great to see they are making changes. It’s something we all have to do.

Deer park stag removed after injuring hind Eli Hill Masterton Deer Park’s resident red deer stag was retired from duty last Tuesday after injuring one of his female companions. The stag’s downfall began on Saturday morning when people passing the park reported a hind had been injured. The Wairarapa branch of the New Zealand Deer Stalkers Association who manage the park were quick to the scene and removed the injured hind from the pen. Unfortunately, she later had to be euthanised because of her injuries. Branch president Martin Amos explained that during the roar, red deer stags become very aggressive in nature and are protective of their hinds. “This is normal stag behaviour – both in captivity and in the wild. “This particular stag is very territorial as he was

born in the park and has occasionally injured herd mates in the past.” Amos said the stag had been “taken out of

the park” at 9.30am last Tuesday, with police providing a cordon. “The park contains both red and fallow deer which

are very quiet,” Amos said “All will eat from your hand when oﬀered suitable food such as fruit, vegetables and bread.

“It is during the mating season that males become territorial and potentially aggressive for a couple of months.”

There are currently no stags in the park as all the hinds have been inseminated, but the Branch plan to introduce a young spiker [young stag] in due course. As a result of the injury Amos said the Branch committee will be discussing the health and safety of the animals in the park and the public at their next meeting. “The park is very popular particularly with families and the Branch is keen for it to continue. “While there are warning signs in place. I would like to remind visitors to keep back from the fence, closely monitor children and dogs and please do not aggravate the stag.” Amos thanked the public for their concern and for notifying the Branch of the injury. He also acknowledged the role of Ray Wallis who feeds the herd every morning and monitors the park for the Branch.

Chemical incident review

Carterton

Steve Rendle Firemen in breathing apparatus worked hard to make decontamination a game for children caught up in last year’s response to possible chemical contamination at South End School in Carterton. But it was a tough game. The children faced cold, high-pressure showers designed for decontaminating ﬁremen in heavy protective clothing. That’s one of the pictures painted by Fire and Emergency’s report into last September’s response to the possible chemical contamination of South End school. The report highlighted the challenges emergency services had while responding to an incident where children were showing signs of illness. But the chemical could not be identiﬁed, although one child reported something falling from a plane passing overhead. “In all, 167 people were triaged, making this the largest mass-casualty event attended since the Wahine disaster in 1968,” the report said. The report details the challenge of the decontamination process for the children – four

were decontaminated using a Portaflex shower, and 27 were decontaminated using a decontamination corridor. “There was some difficulty in getting the children through an unpleasant cold shower, so firefighters reassured them by making the decontamination experience into a game, as well as assisting each child by walking through with them. “This meant it took some time to decontaminate the four worst-affected children who were the only ones to go through the

Portaflex shower.” The report stated that one mother became “very animated and irate which upset the children further”. “Another parent also became very agitated and was removed by the police.” The report said decontamination of the most severely-affected children was delayed until the arrival of the Portaflex shower, which is not recommended for public contamination. However, the report notes: “Other methods of emergency contamination could have been

considered, including removal of outer clothing, wiping down casualties with cloths, moving casualties to fresh air.” The tented decontamination corridor also had its issues for crews wearing breathing apparatus who found their visors fogging up. On the plus side, the report praised the eﬀorts of Carterton Mayor John Booth. “He became a vital conduit between Fire and Emergency and the parents of the aﬀected children.” However,

communication was lacking in other areas. “Communication with the Public Health Officer appears to have been ineffective.” Commenting on the report, Medical Officer of Health Stephen Palmer had a list of criticisms. “We were not told Wellington Free Ambulance were cordoned off in the school grounds, and we could not communicate with them,” Palmer said. “RPH [Regional Public Health] was not consulted prior to decontamination commencing, but were later asked to make a decision to stop. There were no regular inter-agency briefings. It was not possible to undertake a site assessment due to the cordon around the entire school.” The report also stated that Wairarapa DHB felt they were “working the dark”, but last week a DHB spokesperson said this was overstating the situation. The had participated in conference calls, they said, but one thing learned from the incident was that having someone on site – either a communications or clinical staff member – would have been beneficial.

The election of Waitohiariki Quayle, the Carterton-based Archdeacon of Wairarapa, as a bishop is being hailed as a signiﬁcant milestone for the Anglican Church, Maori, and the region. Archbishop Don Tamihere on Friday announced Wai Quayle’s election as Bishop of Upoko o Te Ika, to serve as shepherd to the Maori Anglican bishopric of the lower North Island. Quayle, 69, spoke of the need to address housing and mental health issues and of

She belongs to Ngati Kahungunu ki Wairarapa and will be the ﬁrst Maori woman to be ordained as an Anglican Bishop and also the ﬁrst New Zealandborn woman, as all previous women have been from overseas. The date and venue of the ordination will be announced

Since 2015, she has served as Archdeacon of the Maori Pastorate of Wairarapa, alongside her role as Maori community health services manager for Whaiora Maori Health based in Masterton.

CARTERTON DISTRICT

COUNCIL SNIPPETS SCHOOL HOLIDAY FUN

Come and feed our Chatbot!

Kids were really making the most of all the fun activities we had to offer, from quizzes, movies and games to hockey, mini-ball and fitness regimes across the road at Strength Nation.

Our Events Centre staff have been working hard to develop a Chatbot for our council website, to make connecting with us even easier, but we need your help to get it started.

Last month saw the return of our increasingly popular school holiday programme.

There were also yummy treats to enjoy, with baking and cooking classes, as well as a lesson on how to make homemade bliss balls.

The Chatbot is an automated computer programme aimed at answering your questions instantly which means you will be able to get answers to many of your questions outside business hours.

An activity which was a big hit with the older kids was learning how to operate the council diggers. Some of our Operations staff took part in teaching the group what the different levers were for before letting them try it out for themselves. It was hard to tell who was having the most fun, the kids or the council staff!

Our Events Centre staff are already waiting with a bot box for members of our community of all ages to come in and ask questions to fill it with knowledge, so our baby bot can learn how to answer them when it’s ready to be born.

This fun-filled programme was only possible because of our amazing volunteers. Anyone who is interested in running a workshop or helping as a volunteer can contact Dallas Te Rangi dallas@cdc.govt.nz

Council staff congratulate the Midweek

HE PITOPITO KŌRERO Our local marae here in Carterton is Hurunui-o-Rangi, but have you ever wondered where its name comes from? A meaning for huru is a feather and a meaning for rangi is the sky. Hurunui-o-Rangi means the big feather in the sky and the story associated with it is about a comet which was important for the marae and was named after this event because it is a sign of the God of comets, Rongomaiwhakateka. This atua or god is a protector and throughout Wairarapa this God has brought peace. Ra Smith, Hurunui-o-Rangi marae

MIDWEEK PHOTOS

Opinion

It’s the little things I’ve been learning a simple, but important lesson these past few weeks. It’s not something revolutionary by any means, but if you put it into practice, it will change your life. The concept is about cherishing little moments of calm and joy in each day, embracing them purposefully, instead of letting them simply become routine. I’m talking about sitting down and purposefully enjoying that cup of coffee or tea each morning or night; lighting a scented candle before or after doing housework; cozying up in bed at the end of the day and letting out that sigh of relief that finally it is time to rest. The concept is pretty similar to what the Danish call “hygge”. Hygge cannot be translated into a single word, but rather it sums up the feeling of cozy contentment and wellbeing through enjoying the simple things in life. Examples of hygge generally fall into any of these five categories:

Piece of mind

Emily Ireland comfort, companionship, relaxation, connection to nature, and simplicity. And the only requirement is the ability to not just be present – but to recognise and enjoy the present. These past few weeks, hygge in my life has been lighting a scented candle before bed, watering my indoor plants, spending time with my family, painting, using hand cream throughout the day, and relaxing while getting my nails done. For you, it may be getting up five minutes earlier and enjoying a coffee at home without distraction as opposed to buying a coffee on the go and then rushing around working while drinking it. It may be sitting on your bed and reading for half an hour before sleeping, having a bubble bath, sipping on a wine while

catching up with friends. It’s the little things that we forget to enjoy – or forget to even do – that make life feel pleasant. If you are finding winter hard, take a look at what you are doing to make your life enjoyable. If you can’t think of anything, introduce something. Look forward to it. Embrace it. This week the Midweek launched the Giving for Living story series in support of Hospice Wairarapa. The series is to raise awareness of the service in our region and encourage people to join the Giving for Living club. Pledging even $5 a week adds up over time and will help those that are terminally ill in our region have access to the little things to make the rest of their time here enjoyable.

LETTERS

Remembering the days of old in the park I found the article “Signs for Big Trees” – 24 April interesting and hope that the initiative is supported, and its potential value recognised and utilised. It brought back a memory. In the very late 1940s – early 50s, a similar tree labelling project was undertaken. It was jointly initiated by the then Parks and Reserves boss (my father) and the late

Laurie Robinson. Laurie was a renowned plantsman, nursery operator and pillar of the Masterton Beautifying Society. Painted tin labels were attached to a wide range of trees and proved to be very popular with the public, largely due to the educational value. In those days the “Park” was very popular and heavily used for family

outings, picnics, walking, sports and events. The days when motor cars were not readily available. Times have changed and that level of use is unlikely to return. The nature and style of the park has also changed. The level of public demand will determine the level of service provided and priorities are likely to be given to

active recreation and sport facilities over passive pedestrian based environmental enjoyment. Having recently returned to Masterton after a 60year non-residential period, I am getting reacquainted with the ﬁner details of the workings of my home town. A lot has changed, but much is the same.

Crystal Chain Gang Jim Dennison and Leanne Williams of Martinborough create wonders under the name Crystal Chain Gang, and the Prior family of Masterton are equally wonderful, to have gifted the cast glass work to Aratoi. The Aratoi Collection has been the beneﬁciary of the Prior family’s generosity since 1969, when the institution ﬁrst opened and began collecting and storing artworks. The museum now houses more than 4,000 items on

behalf of the Wairarapa community – taonga Maori, artworks from the colonial to the contemporary, and historical items.

Look out for an exhibition in August to mark the museum’s 50th year – 1969-2019! This Crystal Chain Gang work, the piece on the far right, is one of the latest Prior family donations in a long line that includes works by Colin McCahon, Toss Woollaston, Doris Lusk, Denis O’Connor and Douglas MacDiarmid. A Crystal Chain Gang chandelier is now on display in the museum foyer, as well as pink ceramic vases by Sam Duckor-Jones.

Beverley Jack Centre manager This week we would like to give more information about Mosaic. Mosaic is a Wellington organisation with a local base here at the Wairarapa Community Centre. Mosaic offers help to male survivors of sexual abuse. They have broadened this with their current peer support group which is available to males who have survived sexual and/or other types of child abuse. Basically, Mosaic provides a safe place to talk to someone who will listen and be non-judgemental. The effects of childhood abuse, particularly sexual abuse, are destructive and lifelong, usually accompanied by significant amounts of unhealthy guilt, feelings of shame and difficulty trusting others. Abuse can also increase susceptibility to alcohol and substance misuse, as well as self-harm and suicide. Support and counselling can help survivors accept what has happened and facilitate moving forward in a constructive way. Mosaic will shortly start a new group to support men who are dealing with difficulties in their lives. It will not only focus on survivors of sexual abuse but will support men who are having difficulty dealing with issues that are affecting their mental or

physical wellbeing. Issues could be such things as: problems with family/whanau, experiencing domestic abuse from a partner (of any gender); other relationships with friends, colleagues or children; dealing with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) from child abuse or sexual abuse, and reconnecting with community after leaving prison.

KITTYCAT REHOMING

PHOTO/PEXELS.COM

Rehoming advice

This week, KittyCat Rehoming Wairarapa is giving Midweek readers advice on finding a loving home for their beloved cat if they are unable to continue to care for them. Leave plenty of time for the rehoming process, we would suggest two to three months. The first thing you should do is to take your cat to your vet for a health check (including a dental check). You need to be sure you are rehoming a healthy cat to its new owner. Make sure they are desexed and vaccinated before you rehome your cat. After you have advertised your cat to rehome and have spoken on the phone to a potential adopter, it’s time to arrange the meet and greet. If they have children, ask them to bring them to the meet and greet. Young children can sometimes not have the maturity to be able to treat animals with care. Our advice would be to tell the person that the meet and greet is only for them to meet your kitty and that even if the meet and greet goes well, they can’t take the cat home with them. It’s good for both parties to have some time to consider if the cat is a good fit for that particular family. If you decide you don’t want the person to adopt your cat, it will be easier for you to tell them that over the phone rather than in person. Some people can get offended if you don’t want to adopt to them. Finally, don’t be shy about asking for a home check. You want to be sure they are going to a good home and seeing how people live can be an indicator of how they look after their animals. If the adopters have nothing to hide and an understanding that you are having to part with an animal you love, they should have no problem with you paying them a visit to their home. Lastly, if you are unable to rehome your kitty and circumstances have forced you to find other permanent accommodation for them immediately, contact the SPCA. • KittyCat Rehoming Wairarapa is a registered Charitable Trust CC54963. • Their mission is to rescue and tame feral kittens and adopt them into loving homes. • Visit their Facebook page KittyCat Rehoming. • Cash donations to help them continue their work can be made either to their Givealittle page, to the KittyCat Rehoming Kiwibank account number 38-9019-0699166-00 or to their account at their vet, Vetcare 06-06890191117-00 Reference Kitty46.

Due to my shyness I am looking for a home with older family members. I love playing with my doggy friends here at the centre and I am sure as my confidence grows I will happily adjust to new people and places.

ADVERTORIAL

Get the most out of your chainsaw with these maintenance tips Sophie Cosford with her sons George, 4, and Gus, 1, surrounded by the jackets donated for Wairarapa Winter Jacket initiative. PHOTO/EMMA BROWN

Warming up Wairarapa kids Emma Brown Winter clothing is coming in left, right and centre for the new Wairarapa Winter Jackets initiative. As quick as they are coming in, they are flying out the door. It was changing circumstances that led the founder of the initiative, Sophie Cosford, to come up with the idea. “If I was struggling to make ends meet and get clothes and things that the children needed, then I definitely wasn’t alone. “There will be lots of other people in a similar situation to me and, being this close to winter, buying a new jacket can sometimes be just beyond reach,” Cosford said. The goal was “to keep people warm and relieve some pressure”, she added. The initiative was launched last week with a large number of winter coats for children and adults that had already been collected.

“Everything received so far has been nice and clean, and really good quality. “It has been an amazing response. “Pretty much every child’s jacket has been matched with a new home and we’ve got a waiting list for adults as well.” There are six drop-off and pick-up points around Wairarapa, and Cosford is happy to collect from homes if people can’t reach the drop-off points. “We are looking for jackets, coats, woollens, knitting and hats – they just need to be clean.” Once an item is matched with a new home, the item will be dropped off at the collection point with the name pinned on for collection. “In my experience, when you are cold, kids tend to get sick. “Once they get sick, it is really hard to stop that cycle. “But if they are warm and dry, then it’s a bit easier to keep them from

getting unwell.” The initiative will keep running as long as there was a need for it. Cosford will also work with Plunket, Whaiora, Family Works and will be approaching schools and kindergartens. To donate or collect, you can visit the designated drop-off points or go to Wairarapa Jackets’ Facebook page.

Drop off and collection points Masterton The Chiropractic Health Centre, 1 Jackson St; More FM, 443 Queen St, Kuripuni. Carterton 3Mile Co-working Community next to Take Note. Greytown The Offering cafe. Featherston Bell St Early Learning Centre. Martinborough Bell St Early Learning Centre.

Grants help budget service Walt Dickson Learning to “live within your means” is a mantra Wairarapa Free Budget Advisory Service regularly relay to their clients. The irony that it cuts both ways is not lost on the organisation’s manager, Grant Howard. “We’ve got a lot of people who depend on us, so we too have to be mindful of how we spend our money,” Howard says. The reality of this was laid bare when revealed earlier this year that the service was out of pocket because it was providing “much-needed support” to numerous clients that it

wasn’t getting funding for. Annually, the budget service is responsible for more than $3 million of about 300 clients. Up until three years ago, the service was fully funded by the Ministry of Social Development (MSD). Now it is reliant on grants and donations to bridge the shortfall. A well-attended public meeting in March was unanimous in support of the service continuing. The existing contract with MSD expires at the end of June this year, and although Howard was confident it would be renewed, it was a case of

“wait-and-see”. The Trust House Foundation has recently approved a grant of $16,000 to assist with operational costs – the third consecutive year it has provided the grant. Other significant financial grants came from Lotteries and the Community Organisation Grants Scheme. There was also support from the Masterton and Carterton food banks, the Community Law Centre, and Salvation Army. The service would not be able to operate without the seven volunteer budget advisors who each have about 25-30 clients.

If your chainsaw is not cutting well or the engine sounds laboured, it is likely that it needs a maintenance check. To extend the life of your chainsaw and to make sure it is in top working condition, follow the maintenance schedule recommended by the manufacturer. Here are some general care and maintenance tips you can follow: ■ Check the bar and chain oil level often. It is best to do this before each use and each time you refill with petrol. ■ Keep the chainsaw chain sharp. This will not only make cutting more efficient, it will also prevent kick-backs and increase safety for the person using the chainsaw. ■ Clean debris from the saw after each use. ■ Before each use of your chainsaw, check the tension on the chain. If it’s correctly adjusted, the chain will fit snugly against the bar- but not so tightly that a gloved hand would be unable to move it around Husqvarna recommends a service every 10-12 hours of use. You can expect a standard service to be around $70 which would include sharpening your chain.

How to Clean a Chainsaw Cleaning your chainsaw is an important part of chainsaw maintenance. There are a few parts you should pay special attention to: ■ Locate the clutch cover and remove it.

■ Clean the chain brake band. ■ Clean the chainsaw bar occasionally by using a thin piece of wood or metal and scooping out any debris from inside the track. ■ Locate the cylinder cover and remove it. ■ Clean the air filter. ■ Clear out the cooling fins and air intake if there is debris stuck between the slots. ■ Check the flywheel fins periodically to make sure nothing is blocking the air from cooling the engine. If in doubt feel free to call in to Langlands Honda Greytown for some free-noobligation-advice. The shop at the north entrance to Greytown has its own workshop mechanic Trevor Marshall who has more than 50 years’ experience in maintaining and repairing chainsaws, while Sales Representative Rob Wilkins also has vast chainsaw knowledge. You can drop into the shop at the north entrance to Greytown and buy a sharpening kit to sharpen the saw yourself, or get Trevor to do it for you for between $15 and $20. There is a quick turn-around for chainsaw maintenance and repairs with the chainsaw ready to be picked up later the same day or the next day.

International Space Station This week has a sensational sequence of appearances of the International Space Station (ISS). On six successive nights, we should get to see very bright appearances of the ISS. Tonight (Wednesday) get out just before 7pm. ISS will appear low over south-west (i.e. over the southern end of the Remutakas). In two minutes, it will rise to nearly halfway up the southern sky, where it disappears as it loses sunlight from its view of the horizon. Thursday evening, ISS is earlier, just before 6.10pm. It appears in the SW again and in two minutes only rises a third of the way up the southern sky. But this one keeps its view of the sun longer and goes on for another three minutes to disappear low in the east. Friday, May 10 is forecast to be the brightest view. ISS appears above the SW again, and spends three minutes rising almost overhead towards the NW. It then only lasts another 40 seconds before disappearing, still quite high in the NE.

International Space Station – Flat Earthers think this is a hoax. PHOTO/GETTY IMAGES

Sky Watch

Nick Sault Saturday’s visitation of ISS will be almost as bright, appearing again in the SW but travelling towards the south this time. It climbs quite high in the sky, but in the next

three minutes dips down towards the east where is disappears low above the horizon. Sunday’s appearance is more westerly at about 6.50pm. It is not as bright as the

previous nights but should still get brighter than any of the stars. It rises just a third of the way up the sky as it travels towards the NW in three minutes, before dipping down in the NE two minutes later. Finally, May 13 (Monday) is the earliest of this sequence. It appears towards the west a few minutes before 6pm. In three minutes, it

then rises quite high in the NW sky before dipping down in another three minutes towards the NE. As I write this, the Flat Earthers are here for a conference. I seriously believe these guys are just joshing – surely just something to base a weird club on. They say they believe all the things in the sky are just going around on a dome over the flat Earth. Well, seriously, the distances to the moon (about 380,000 km), the sun (150 million km), or the nearest star Alpha Centauri (40 trillion km) can be measured using junior high school maths – basic Pythagoras. True you would need astronomers’, sensitive instruments, but given the readings, a 13-yearold student could do the triangulation. How do these people think these three objects with such colossal differences in their distances can be inside a dome? Also, with many thousands of pictures from space, how could all those space agencies be party to a conspiracy to hide the truth? Next week: Moon bumps into Jupiter.

Migrants and their stories to be shared in Wairarapa Sam Tattersfield In February, Arrow FM and Aratoi collaborated to present, using only audio, the stories of two migrant taxi drivers to a live audience, who then had a Q&A session with the drivers. The second koha entry Community Listening Event will happen at Aratoi on May 10 from 7-9pm. Arrow FM manager Michael Wilson said the evening in February was “magical”. “Most of the people there closed their eyes, I know I did, and all of a sudden, you’ve got the attention of a whole roomful of people. “Then, you’re meeting these people afterwards, who have lived these lives, and some of the things they’ve been through are really quite extraordinary.” Wilson was originally given the book that the audio productions originated from – Migrant Journeys: New Zealand Taxi Drivers Tell Their Stories – to review. When he read the book,

he knew these were stories Wairarapa should hear. So, with help from the book’s co-editor Adrienne Jansen, he talked at length with five of the drivers in the book, reworking the resulting recordings into fully produced half hour radio programmes. He said it was unusual for Arrow FM to do such a significant piece on non-Wairarapa people, but that the stories told were “a bit different”. “We’ve got many, many programmes representing

Comer will give a short presentation on this book at the Migrant Journeys live listening event.

WHAT ARE ZOONOTIC DISEASES? Did you know that many diseases that animals contract, are transmissible to humans. The technical term for these is Zoonoses. Often these lead to serious human disease and in some cases death. What are some common examples in New Zealand? • Leptospirosis is a bacterial disease which includes several common species that can infect us. Lepto. hardjo is carried most often by cattle and sheep without causing any symptoms in those animals; but in many cases humans can be infected from urine splashes from these animals into skin cuts, mouth and eyes. Lepto. pomona is carried most often in deer and pigs without causing any symptoms in those animals but as with hardjo can infect humans. In fact my father Professor Neil Bruere was the first person in the world to establish transmission of Leptospirosis from pigs to calves to humans as a 24 year old veterinarian in November, 1951. He observed the symptoms and connected the science from his bacteriology lectures at Sydney University in the late 1940’s. The symptoms in humans are severe headaches, swollen inflamed liver and red coloured urine. The most common occupational groups infected in New Zealand are farmers and meat workers. It is now common practice for all dairy cattle to be vaccinated against this disease. Some beef cattle farmers now do this too and sheep vaccination is gaining favour. This is done to help protect humans as there is no vaccine available for use in humans. • Salmonellosis is a common bacterial disease in sheep in this district. The bacteria in these cases is most often Salmonella hindmarsh, but other species can also be involved. This bacterium causes sudden

death in sheep, usually associated with a sudden dietary change and some management event such as shearing. The obvious symptom seen in sheep is a severe diarrhoea with sudden death. The symptoms seen in humans are diarrhoea and vomiting. If it is left untreated in humans it can lead to dehydration, which could mean hospitalisation for intravenous fluids and antibiotics. • Ringworm is a common fungal disease caused by several different species of skin based fungi. Most animal species such as cattle, horses, cats and dogs as well as animals such as hedgehogs can carry this disease. The symptoms are generally areas of dry grey hairless skin, which in most cases looks roughly circular. If humans get infected the skin lesions look much the same. It can be treated but is unpleasant to contract. These are just a very few of these diseases. There are some practical things you can do when handling infected animals. The most obvious is to wear some form of barrier clothing such as disposable gloves, washable wet weather gear, overalls, eye protection etc. The other important thing is to take care to change out of the clothes you wear after attending infected animals and carefully wash hands and/or shower to make sure infectious material doesn’t cause human disease. In the event that you feel unwell and suspect you have contracted a zoonotic disease, seek medical attention.

Mothers at the Wairarapa Teen Parent Unit can now continue their studies knowing their babes are in good hands during school hours. The childcare centre next-door to the Teen Parent Unit (TPU) on the Makoura College campus liquidated suddenly in March, leaving the teen parents without childcare while they studied. Over the months that followed, the Wairarapa community banded together to ensure the mothers could continue their education, and on Monday a new provider started up again nextdoor. Last Thursday, members of the TPU welcomed the new childcare

staff to their roles. The childcare centre is called Makoura Early Learning Centre, and three staff are employed there. Makoura Early Learning Centre is a “sister centre” to Pohutukawa Early Learning Centre on Villa St, Masterton, and the Cole Street Early Learning Centre. TPU manager Prue Smith said the new childcare centre would “flourish” and she was heartened to know the staff there shared the same kaupapa (values) as the TPU. “Their values really align with ours – courage and compassion. “The love and knowledge that they’ve got will enhance our girls’ journey into motherhood.” Makoura College principal

Paul Green said the TPU was a place of new beginnings: “the start of new-born life, the start of parenting, a new version of self that each of these mothers become, and with the new beginning comes the discovery of new horizons and a mix of hope and promises”. “As we embark on these new beginnings, we are very mindful of the kaupapa of this kura (school). “We know how much the young new-born life absorbs of the world around them and a crucial part of that world is the relationships and connections between people.” He wished the childcare staﬀ all the best on their new journey.

Eclecticism rules at Featherston Booktown Taking place Friday 10 to Sunday 12 May, the Festival has panel sessions, workshops, children’s activities and literarythemed special events. This weekend Featherston hosts its fifth annual Booktown, featuring an exciting and diverse range of Kiwi wordsmiths. Some of the many intriguing ones include From Cairo to Cassino – A Memoir of Paddy Costello by Dan Davin with Robert McLean in conversation; Writing Antarctica with Rebecca Priestley and Bill Manhire; and Writing History with Jane Tolerton, Neil Frances and Jock Phillips. Several events have already sold out but there are many more to enjoy, often with free or koha entry.

Some topics covered will include parenting and literature, the secrets of a crime writer, special previews of yet-to-befinished novels, women and literature, queer writing, fierce girl poets, the Keith Murdoch mystery, the history of New Zealand newspapers. Events will be held at venues throughout Featherston. Featherston Booktown is an opportunity to “celebrate the simple joy of reading and the miracle of the book”, says Operations Manager Mary Biggs.

“It is also refreshing to spend a weekend in and around Featherston, bringing people together around books, writing and ideas. “The Festival is now in its fifth year and some events are back by popular demand, while others are new to the programme,” Mary says. “We are also thrilled to have a record number of booksellers at Featherston Booktown this year, offering a wide range of books for sale.” Tickets can be bought on Eventfinda. The full programme with indepth details is available at www.booktown.org.nz

Featherston becomes New Zealand’s first ‘Booktown’ Last year Featherson was given the status of an official “Booktown” from the International Organisation of Booktowns, making Featherston the first Booktown in New Zealand and 22nd in the world.

A Booktown is a small rural town or village in which second-hand, rare, and characterful bookshops are concentrated.

Featherston was eligible for Booktown status because it had several bookshops - the

Tim Nelson Lakeview School principal TIM NELSON endeavours to learn something new every day by reading books, listening to podcasts, and engaging with a wide range of other content. More moments to celebrate and acknowledge

There are moments that are celebrated and acknowledged in our lives that are traditional, often tied up with big celebrations and events. These include the likes of 21st birthdays, first days of school, and milestone wedding anniversaries. All of these occasions are worthy of the recognition they receive. However, according to authors Chip and Dan Heath in their book The

Power of Moments, there are many opportunities that we fail to celebrate and acknowledge. Examples of these moments include; as employers, first days for staff in a new job; or as educators, milestones such as the 100th day in a school. In the example of first days in a new job it is easy for this to be ad hoc and rushed, giving the employee the feeling that they are not as valued as they could be. This is something that’s

p a e L e

easy to do in the busyness of any organisation and something I have certainly been guilty of as a manager, as well as it having happened to me as an employee. However, think about the sense of worth and loyalty a new employee would have if their arrival was celebrated. It will require a planned approach and dedicated time, with the payoff potentially being significant in terms of what the new employee will contribute.

Support and enjoy local businesses

I was fortunate to win a competition in which I entered a draw at a running event, with the prize being a $100 gift voucher. I went to Wellington for the day to spend the voucher at the shop that offered the prize. I love Wellington, it’s just about my favourite city in the world, but here are a few observations in favour of supporting local establishments: • Parking in Masterton (my town), is so much

easier and cheaper • Masterton has fantastic cafes • Masterton has many fantastic bookshops (my favourite type of shop) • The time, cost, and effort of shopping in Masterton makes it a lot more appealing • Had it not been for the voucher, Masterton has a much superior store (Kathmandu) for the type of item I ended up purchasing • Shopping in Masterton supports people we know personally.

Even more impressive is that he won the tournament at the age of 43 after a long period of poor form and personal issues. In writing about Tiger’s comeback in the Time article, musician Justin Timberlake described how it happened. Timberlake shared how Tiger has put in a huge amount of work in the gym and on the golf course to get his form to the level in which he could compete again. It hasn’t been a case of things just falling in place for Tiger, rather, it’s an example of working incredibly hard so that he has been able to perform at the very highest level.

I will go to Wellington and other places countless times in the future and will always enjoy the experiences. However, there are many great things about the places we live that are easy to overlook and take for granted.

How Tiger Woods came back to win The Masters

Eliud Kipchoge is the greatest marathon runner of all time. He has won almost every event he has entered and is picked by many to be the ﬁrst to break the extremely elusive two-hour marathon time. In a mini documentary on YouTube, Kipchoge shares a quote by the author Paulo Coelho, this being: “If you want to be successful, you must respect one rule – never lie to yourself”. What great advice that is so very true!

Celebrating the success of others

The Daily Calm meditation today shared the concept of Mudita, the Sanskrit practice of celebrating the success, happiness and achievement of others. Regardless of who the person is, there is often a feeling of jealousy when others achieve a level of success when we are not. We may get the feeling that if another person is experiencing success, it is less likely that we will be able to do so because there is only so much of it to go around. Mudita sees the success of others in a more positive light; their achievements lead to unadulterated joy in ourselves as we delight in their wellbeing. Success and happiness are not ﬁnite, rather, as each person has a positive experience, others can build on it, creating their own sense of fulﬁlment and achievement.

Marginal gains

before, but will do so again, as some messages have so much potential benefit, they are worth reading again. Chris Froome is a four-time Tour de France champion. One of the reasons that his Team Sky team is so successful is because of their attention to the seemingly minor details, with all of the marginal gains attained through the many smaller factors addressed adding up to a considerable amount when they are all taken at as a whole. An example of a marginal gain is the beds that the riders sleep on during the tour. Whereas other teams will take and accept what’s offered in the accommodation they use, Team Sky will send ahead people to ensure that the beds are as comfortable as possible for every rider. This means that each day of the tour is approached after riders have had a good night’s sleep. The same approach could be used in our own lives. For example, reading one positive article for five minutes a day could give you a feeling of gratitude and wellbeing, while only having to expend a very small amount of time and focus to do the reading.

If you are experiencing troubling issues like anxiety, grief or depression, or if you’ve been affected by family violence, we can help. We offer a non-judgmental, respectful, caring space where we help people through their process of change.

in sport, comprising the biggest and most successful football teams in Europe. Typically, these teams spend huge amounts of money every year to buy new players to strengthen their squads to give themselves a greater chance of success. Invariably, the wealthiest teams win the title. However, this year things are a little different, at least in part. Two of the semi-finalists have spent a fraction of what the other two teams have on their squads, and one of these ‘spendthrift’ teams will make the final. In fact, one of the teams, Spurs from the English Premier League, barely entered the transfer market at all. To me this shows the value of making the most of what you have, working with the resources available, this being players, and making them better, as opposed to going out and getting new players to fill in the gaps in the team. I believe that this approach will build a better culture, as a sense of trust will develop, with players feeling the owners having the belief in them to perform – almost, though at a stretch, a minimalist approach to football management.

Tribute to original buddy Volunteering Wairarapa

Jill Greathead In March, I wrote about the ‘Young Volunteer Collaboration’ – a project to empower our young people through volunteering, and where needed, to buddy them up with an experienced volunteer. The man who inspired us to do this was Joseph Moloughney who was our original buddy. Joseph passed away in early April. He touched many of our lives in the Wairarapa – a place he came to live in eighteen months ago. Joseph came into the Volunteer Centre in January last year with an amazing background as a retired Major in the US Army with a Bachelor of Law and Business Management, post graduate degree in philosophy and a theological master’s degree. For the previous 20 years he was the owner operator of a contracting business for farm and station management and before that he spent seven

years in the New Zealand Department of Justice. A war injury created the disability that put Joseph in a wheelchair, so he moved from his rural life into Masterton. Joseph became our first volunteer facilitator and with his quick mind and wit, he grabbed the role of training our volunteer facilitators who are now called Joseph’s girls. As he got to know how our Volunteer Recruitment system worked, he made contact with other community organisations and started to volunteer for Literacy Wairarapa, Abbeyfield, CCS Disability Action, and the Wairarapa Free Budget Service. Last May, he joined the board of Volunteering Wairarapa which he took very seriously – he challenged us as staff and became my personal mentor. He would ring and say, “Hi Boss” and I would reply with “Hi Boss two”. We would often have a heated discussion on

the appropriate action, but always ended the call as best friends with consensus on the right decision. During the time I worked with Joseph, he always spoke out. He spoke out about why we should be helping our young people, he spoke out about injustices, he spoke out about his concerns with mental health – and he wasn’t frightened of being seen in public supporting those who are speaking out for change. Joseph didn’t just speak out. He was a man of action and when he wasn’t working on the computer or the phone, he was organising a group of volunteers from his wheelchair. This man befriended so many and contributed to so many lives in the short time he lived in Masterton. Joseph has left us a legacy – he was the inspiration of the ‘Young Volunteer

Collaboration’. This is a project to empower our young people of the Wairarapa to contribute to and feel valued in our community. We are naming and dedicating this project after Joseph. In this way, we can keep his memory alive. Please help us celebrate Joseph’s legacy and launch the ‘Joseph Moloughney Young Volunteer Collaboration’ at a lunchtime event over tea and sandwiches on Tuesday, May 21 at 1pm at the Makoura College Hall. Arranging this launch was one of Joseph’s last volunteering actions – he even chose the date and time. • To help us with catering and seating please RSVP to admin@waivc.org.nz.

Many hands pitching in The ROAR from Zone 4 Wairarapa Lions Activities for April 2019 Carterton Lions Club members recently attended the Haumanu Community Gardens Working Bee. They utilised their various skills and constructed a new Pergola under Projects Convener Harry Gray’s direction. Club members have also begun delivering 80 loads of firewood to the elderly in our community. Carterton Central Lions Club recently held a Fashion Parade at Ballentynes Central raise funds to help support the Wellington Free Ambulance. This is a popular event enjoyed by both the models (club members and friends) and the audience. Members attended the Anzac Parade, where a wreath was laid by the club in honour of those who have served. Featherston Lions Club members have been busy reading water meters for the South Wairarapa District Council and

delivering firewood as a fundraising project. On the last Saturday of each month during the summer, the club held a craft market in the middle of town, not only to promote the work of the Lions Club, but to enable the stall holders to show their crafts and make some money. Masterton Holdsworth Lions Club helped provide food for the morning tea at the recently held “Litermania” Quiz at Masterton Intermediate School. Guest speaker Gareth Winter from the Wairarapa Archive, spoke to the

club about the recently published book “100 years, 100 lives”. As the title suggests, the project presents the stories of 100 Wairarapa people whose lives were affected by World War I.

the Greytown Community. Wairarapa Ruamahanga Lions Club had a very successful planting day at the Anzac Memorial Bridge with another 250 trees in the ground. The club plans to plant more over the winter, mainly native grasses and flaxes. The club’s stack of firewood has been depleted with wood being donated to several worthwhile causes around town. During the month Greytown Lioness Club members provided morning tea for Arbor House residents, collected

for the Poppy Day appeal and held their annual Easter raffle fundraiser. The annual Garage Sale will be held on Saturday, May 11, in the St John Hall, and proceeds will go to Cobblestones Museum. The Club will join with Greytown Lions at the end of the month for the annual Fun Quiz with funds going to Guide Dogs Red Puppy Appeal. With the recent publicity given to the Featherston Lioness Club, there has been a number of people expressing their interest in joining the club. The club members are delighted to welcome new members and new ideas. Members again placed poppies and rosemary on known returned Servicemen’s and Woman’s graves at the cemetery for Anzac Day, prepared and served morning tea after the Featherston Anzac Service and Parade. Members Shirley and Zeta laid a wreath at the War Memorial. The Featherston Booktown Mother’s Day afternoon which the club is supporting, is a must attend event with inspiring speakers. • For information about joining a Lions Club, go to www.lionsclubs.org.nz

The day I debated against the National leader

Year 13 student Caelum Greaves was proud to represent Kuranui College in a debate against National Party leader Simon Bridges and Wairarapa MP Alastair Scott. PHOTOS/CATHERINE ROSSITER-STEAD

Caelum Greaves Any debate where you only have eight minutes of prep is an interesting one. Even more so when you have to argue that teenagers are lazy – to an audience of teenagers! But one where you’re debating against the leader of the National Party, as well as the Wairarapa MP, well that’s something else entirely. Especially when you’re only 17 years old. For some people, debating against the leader of the opposition is just part of their job. But not for me. As a student at Kuranui, my daily job is school, study, and writing. Not that I was nervous, mind you. I was asked lots if I was nervous, yet I never really felt it. Everyone around me seemed more nervous than I was. However, they were nervous for what I might say, how I might display myself. When you’re representing something bigger than you there is always an expectation, and it weighs a lot. It didn’t really hit me until the night before, when people were telling me how nervous I should be, that I felt any nerves at all. That’s where National Party leader Simon Bridges came into his own.

Both Simon and Wairarapa MP Alastair Scott were incredibly charismatic, and it was easy to go into the debate feeling at ease. There is a very special feeling when you’re having an exciting, genial, humorous debate. It’s very diﬀerent from what I imagine Simon must usually debate, and I sincerely hoped he enjoyed it as much as I did. Both my team-member Aimee Clouston and I could have learned a lot from such skilled speakers, if we weren’t so busy looking for holes in their arguments. Pride has so many connotations, which makes it awfully diﬃcult to explain how I felt in the moments leading up to, during, and after the debate. Because I was proud. I was so proud, but not because of the debate. The

debate was some fun, a chance to relax and show Simon a few more of the amazing skills which our students at Kuranui have. I was proud of Kuranui, of the teachers and the students who surrounded me. Kuranui achieves well above national standards in so many areas, and I was proud that we could show that. I was proud of myself too of course. I’ve been writing articles about Kuranui for our social media, as well as the local papers for a while now, but seeing something like this happen, knowing I was a part of it, really felt like everything was coming together. All of the hard work put into showing what Kuranui could do had paid oﬀ. Our students got the opportunity to show oﬀ our skills, ask Simon any

burning questions they had, and gain the exciting opportunity to know our politicians a little better. Everyone makes a big fuss over the fact that they came, they got to see our performances, and that they debated with us. But I’ve learnt many times that what everyone makes a big fuss about isn’t always the most important thing for the people involved. I know that some of our students got the chance to ask cultural or environmental questions which they normally would not have been able to. Some of them are now more into politics then they were before, because they got to ask questions of people who had experienced that environment. I was able to talk to Simon’s social media advisor about how things

work in the political sector, as well as someone young about university. As someone who wants to study scientific communication at university, works in that sector, and who is constantly seeking ways to get my fiction published, this provided rare opportunities to gain valuable knowledge and networking. Our students and staff gained something valuable that day, and speaking to Simon afterwards, he told me that it was nostalgic, like his college days. I just hope that he gained something just as valuable out of it as we did. Whenever you go into a debate, especially one against someone of no small renown, or where the odds are close, there is a strange sort of excitement. The ecstatic titillation of your heart beating faster, the rising of words in your gorge faster than you can utter them, followed by the utter exhilaration of making a point which your opponent never expected. It’s a vice in its own right, and to throw down in a fast paced debate like that against people as skilled as they were… let’s just say is certainly an opportunity I am not likely to forget. • Caelum Greaves is a Year 13 student at Kuranui College. • Last week, Simon Bridges visited Wairarapa.

QUALITY BRA ESSENTIAL FOR POST-BREAST FEEDING MUMS With Mother’s Day this Sunday, Shalari owner Tina Dunlop reminds mothers how important a good supporting bra is, once they have stopped breast feeding. “The milk producing gland fills when mothers are breast feeding and then when they stop it is like a deflated balloon that doesn’t have a natural shape anymore. “A good bra will protect, secure and support the bust so that the healing process can happen and will help get the breasts back into a better shape.

”Mum’s should also support their breasts correctly during pregnancy, and feeding when the bust is at its fullest. This makes healing later even more successful.” This principle applies to breasts in general as well, Tina points out.

Arbour Day: Wairarapa Day? The first Arbor Day celebrated in New Zealand in the year 1890, was here in Wairarapa, in Greytown specifically. The speeches were bicultural with the mayor sharing the podium with two prominent chiefs, Tamahau Mahupuku and Tunuiarangi. At a time when bicultural interventions were the exception rather than the norm, the subject of the joint up thinking was the natural environment. There were issues like Tunuiarangi’s hope that the future trees to be planted would be natives rather than the exotic conifers, but differences are now historical prompts. Our present and future opportunities can again concentrate on Arbor Day. This year Arbor Day is on June 5, the same day as the world environment day. The environmental opportunities in trees are recognised now through the government’s plan for One Billion Trees as a part of regional development. Wairarapa was not a surge or priority area, but the initiatives around

Mokupuna of Wairarapa

Ra Smith trees can still apply to our province. The main focus has been around forests for erosion prone land, an idea the East Coast has had for a while. Trees keeping sediment out of waterways is helpful but is unhelpful when tree planting is uneconomic on land that is more productive with other uses. Tree planting is not just forestry and the One Billion Trees initiative has other options and one of these is partnership. The joint up thinking can ask innovators to work with researchers, industry, wider communities and iwi. I have such faith in our innovators that I think they can bring a wider use to trees, including economic returns on investment. Some current research includes trees in wetlands as nutrient reducers; trees reducing pathogens with their roots; trees in food

forests; trees in medicinal options; trees supporting vineyards and many other options. All of these support economic bottom lines. Then, there is the beauty trees give our environment. It was one of the reasons Greytown took on the first Arbor Day. Renewing Arbor Day celebration with energy for Wairarapa is something the whole of Wairarapa can take on. It’s interesting to me that our nation’s tallest tree, Kahikatea, grows in some of our most unstable land, wetlands. The lesson for me is that they grow best in clumps as the roots intertwine to support each tree, especially trees on the outside. June 5, 2019 is a date for our community to celebrate our roots. Put it in your calendar so you can plant some trees.

Ventana on the move Gianina Schwanecke

After three years at their iconic blue shop front on Kitchener St, Martinborough’s Ventana Creative Collective is on the move and under new leadership. The creative collective opened in June 2016 under director and owner Auriga Martin, with the front shop selling a range of locally produced artworks and gifts, and a workshop room out back displaying local artists’ works. Martin announced her plans to step down in March, with plans to hand over to regular

exhibitionist and artist Bec Reilly. “With winter on its way we’d like to share some exciting news with you, as the seasons are changing so too is Ventana next month,” she said. “Part of the change to new ownership will also be a change of location where we will be saying goodbye to the Kitchener St space. “Ventana is now going bigger with multiple venues throughout town.” Workshops will now be popping up in several venues around town, including Luna Estate Winery, with Ventana’s new home base being

located at 20 Jellicoe St. “I’m proud to look back on several full years of sparking creativity and joy for our community as well as creating a platform for small artisan businesses local and abroad,” Martin said. Ventana Creative Collective is holding one last exhibition at its Kitchener St gallery to say goodbye. • The Martinborough Makers Exhibition includes work from several local artists including potters, painters, sculptors and jewellers. • It will run until May 12.

Here to support local women Kim Siemonek

FREE SERVICE

We know that caring for a loved one at home is a precious time. We also understand that towards the end, or at times of crisis, caregivers can become exhausted from nights of broken sleep. Hospice Wairarapa work alongside Kahukura Palliative nurses and fund the placement of a Registered Nurse or Health Care Assistant into the home for a few nights to give the family a chance to catch up on nights of broken sleep, con dent that the nurse or assistant will wake the caregiver or whānau if needed. Our Hospice in the Home night carer service is put in place when our Clinical Services Manager, G.P, a Kahukura nurse or the family make a request to be supported in this way. As soon as we receive the request the Kahukura palliative nurses will seek to find the appropriate level of professional support to meet the patient’s care requirements. We will endeavour to provide the care at the time it is requested and needed, but there will be times when we may have to wait a few

days to engage the nurse or assistant due to availability of staff. The family or whānau will be kept informed and will be advised of the day/s the care will be provided. Usually that care package is in place from 10pm until 7am. The caregiver will introduce their loved one to the nurse or assistant who will look after them that night and orientate them to things in the home. The caregiver must be on site during the night support provision. The nurse or health care assistant will be fully briefed about the care the patient requires, and the family will also share information with the nurse or healthcare assistant before they go off to bed. In the morning the nurse or assistant will complete documentation about how the night went and talk to the Kahukura specialist nurse about the evening of care Hospice has funded. We know this Hospice service makes a difference to the energy levels of the caregiver at times of crisis or towards the end, and it is our hope that it enables the loved one to remain at home if that is their wish.

One of the most important things you can do on this earth is let people know they are not alone. This is so true with winter coming up when it’s not so warm to get out and about. Take the chance to attend one of the courses offered by the Wairarapa Women’s Centre.

New CEO for the DHB Eli Hill The Wairarapa District Health Board is confident that the DHB will be in safe hands after appointing its new chief executive officer, Dale Oliff. The DHB announced last week that Oliff would take over from acting chief executive Craig Climo on July 15. Oliff is currently the acting chief executive of Hutt Valley DHB and has held a number of leadership roles in the public health sector throughout her career. These include chief operating officer at Lakes and Hutt Valley DHBs as well as director of nursing at Counties Manukau DHB, and director of nursing and midwifery at Southland DHB. Board chair Sir Paul Collins said they had “every confidence” that

Wairarapa DHB would be in safe hands. “Dale’s background in the health sector, and her rural upbringing, will provide her with the experience required to strengthen Wairarapa’s health system.” Oliff said she was looking forward to starting her new role and working to benefit the health of people living in

the Wairarapa region. “It is a pleasure to have this opportunity to settle into such a beautiful part of the country and it will be a privilege for me to call Wairarapa home. Oliff said she’d taken over her current role as acting chief executive at the Hutt Valley DHB in January 2018. “While I will be sad to leave Hutt Valley DHB, health is my passion and I’m looking forward to working with the great team at Wairarapa DHB to continue delivering the best service for our patients and the wider community.” Craig Climo will continue as acting chief executive until Oliff takes up her role. Wairarapa DHB’s last CEO Adri Isbister left her role in March after taking on the position of deputy director general disability at the Ministry of Health.

Nursing for me has given me personal satisfaction. I trained in the public hospital system but have made my career working in the community in a variety of roles from Public Health and District Nursing to care of the elderly, teaching and lecturing, Plunket Nursing and Community oncology work. I have only spent 11 years working in a hospital setting. Health is a diverse space and so having any medical clinical background opens doors for those who want to take up a challenge. I have devoted my skills into NGO’s (non-government organisations). NGO’s are innovative and dynamic places for nurses to grow themselves and their interests. I am proud of my work and those of my colleagues in the community and cannot see a world without the “caring and educated intuitiveness

”that nurses bring to the health environment. “Ko taku rourou, Ko tau rourou, Ka ora te tangata/ With my resources and your resources everyone will benefit”. Maori proverb.

Flu epidemic a baptism of fire for fledgling nurse Three generations of the same family have all been nurses in Masterton over the past 100 years. The first of them was Adeline Bertha Caverhill (Poppy) who was one of the first nurses trained at Masterton Hospital, and the grandmother of Mary Leighton, General Manager at Lyndale Care and also a trained nurse. Poppy had hardly finished her training when she was called on to help in the great flu epidemic of 1918. The Masterton Club’s centennial publication carries the story on: “Almost as soon as the Great War of 19141918 finished, the flu epidemic swept the world – Masterton suffered with the rest of New Zealand. It was almost impossible to cope with the great number of sick people. “The Masterton Club building was declared an emergency hospital and served this purpose for several weeks at the end of 1918. “In this desperate time many individuals displayed the finest qualities of devotion and self-sacrifice. A very human story took place in the Club building. A young girl – Poppy Caverhill - walked up the

steps of the main entrance as beds and patients were being carried into the Club. “She had just finished her hospital training at Masterton Hospital and this was her first job. “As the only qualified nurse present, Nurse Caverhill took charge. The epidemic was at its height. It was impossible for Masterton’s handful of doctors to be everywhere. “Many fine men and women answered the call. The Masterton Club was full of patients, sick and dying.

to be giving Hugh better treatment than the other patients. “She was a lady of conscience. “Hugh recovered, the epidemic died out and the Masterton Club renewed its true function.” Poppy went on to marry Hugh and they farmed at Hinakura. She never carried on nursing but did volunteer with the Red Cross for many years, says Mary. Poppy’s son Hugh McLaren Jnr married Betty McLaren who trained as a nurse at Guys Hospital in England during World War II. Shortly after she emigrated from England to New Zealand Betty worked at Masterton Hospital in the 1950s for a short time before she met and married Hugh Jnr. Betty later nursed at Masterton Hospital in the 1970s at the same time as Mary commenced her training to become a nurse. Mary went on to nurse locally and overseas, established Aversham House Rest Home and managed Lansdowne

Court Rest Home in Masterton. Mary has recently returned to Wairarapa after several years working as a programme manager for ACC and General Manager for a large Wellington Arvida Group Retirement Village and Care Facility. Mary joined Lyndale Care last August. Over her career, Mary says she has seen many positive changes in nursing which has provided opportunities for nurses to expand their interests and goals. But she says the heart of nursing remains the same as when Florence Nightingale said, “Nursing is an art: and if it is to be made an art, it requires an exclusive devotion.” Nursing is a progressive art such that to stand still is to go backwards, says Mary. “But caring has been and always will be the philosophical heart of nursing - to connect with patients, be attuned to their needs, and work with residents and their families.” Wairarapa DHB sincerely thanks all the nurses and midwives in the Wairarapa for the professional, compassionate and quality care they provide to our community every day.

She loves to see the world as much as her clients, then uses this experience to give them independent advice. Recently Lynne had an amazing trip to China. “It exceeded my expectations. I travelled with Air China and CTS Tours. Flew to Beijing, visited Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City, and explored the city by pedicab. “The next day we climbed part of the incredible Great Wall of China and in the evening saw an acrobatics show. We then travelled by high speed train to Jinan, capital of Shandong province, visiting the Baotu Springs and lovely Daming Lake Park (pictured). “Next we travelled to Qufu to see the famous Confucius mansion, temple and cemetery. The following morning a high speed train took us to Qingdao - the city of sails with its

golden sand beaches and Qingdao Beer museum!” “China has something for everyone, and is a diverse and incredible country.” Lynne is free to go to all sources to get the best deals in airfares, accommodation, rental cars, cruising, coach tours, groups and special interest, sightseeing, travel insurance, passports and much more.

Land sold by Masterton District Council.

PHOTOS/PAM GRAHAM

Land donated to council sold to developer Pam Graham Westwood Property Group has purchased 30.78ha of land in Lansdowne from Masterton District Council for $2.4 million and will develop it into residential housing. The company isn’t saying how many houses will be built, but the land area is about five hectares bigger than the Chamberlain Rd development area which has 197 lots. The land, bordering Gordon St and Kitchener St, was gifted to the then Masterton Borough Council from the estate of Annie P Williams in the 1940s and is commonly known as the Williams estate. The council sold the land by tender and hasn’t decided what to do with the money. Westwood Property Group is owned by Steven and Katherine Pilbrow, according to Companies Office records. The separate Westwood Developments is a busy developer with current projects including The Plains, The Barracks and Solway Cres as well as commercial developments. The Masterton property market has been running hot for a while after a long period of relatively static prices. Quotable Value statistics for April show a 12.2 per cent annual rise in Masterton where the average value is $380,864. There’s been significant new supply coming to the market via new subdivisions, which were neatly summarised in a Strategic Planning and Policy Committee report last week. It didn’t include the large Chamberlain Rd

development area, which is being consulted on at concept stage. Year-to-date building consent numbers and values for Masterton District Council are tracking at similar levels to last year. There were 168 consent applications lodged between January and March compared to 157 in the same period last year. During the building boom there has also been a debate about whether housing is affordable or not and that debate continues. There is work going on behind the scenes. It was revealed in council documents this week that Greater Wellington Regional Council is in conjunction with central government working on a Wellington Region Growth Plan and the Wairarapa Economic Development Strategy and Action Plan has made a regionwide housing strategy a priority. Masterton District Council has asked Boffa Miskell to do an urban growth study to help the council identify “future growth areas” and this report is due soon. And the council is pulling together a report on “Masterton’s housing

situation”. This work is expected to lead to a position statement on housing. Masterton District Council Chief Executive Kath Ross says the sale of the land is a good outcome for the community and ratepayers. “With the current shortage of housing in Masterton, this is a great opportunity to free up some land to build more homes,” she said. No decision has been made yet on how the money from the sale will be used, Ross said. The original bequest consisted of two blocks of land; one being 15ha stretching from the Masterton Golf Club course down to Opaki Rd and the other, a considerably larger block of land extending eastwards out to Gordon St. The first block was developed into houses with the streets named after native trees, such as Konini Street, Puriri Cres and Matipo St. The remaining block was planted in pine trees in the 1940s, and subsequently felled during the 1970s. Since then, the land has been grazed and periodically used for crops.

Building Bridges with local farmers

Rural

Gianina Schwanecke More than 200 people from the farming industry turned out to meet with and hear from National Party leader Simon Bridges, during an event at the Carterton Events Centre last Thursday afternoon. ‘Farming Matters’ event chair David Holmes said it was a good opportunity for Bridges to hear directly from those in rural communities. “Farming is at a crossroads at the moment and it’s important that the people in charge of the country understand what’s going on.” Wairere Station sheep breeder Derek Daniell opened the discussion and touched on a range of issues faced by the industry including New Zealand’s dependence on oil, the growth of the tourism industry, the loss of land as urban areas expanded, the loss of assets to foreign buyers, and forestry subsidies. “The issue for Wairarapa,” he said, “is that rural communities are going to disappear.” Bridges seemed to agree with a lot of the points raised by Daniell and described his presentation as “very hard hitting”. “What concerns me is that we have a growing population which is increasingly disconnected from [farming’s contribution to exports],” he said. “A lot of New Zealanders like our life [now] but maybe not so much how we’ve gotten here.”

From left: David Holmes, Derek Daniell, Simon Bridges and Alastair Scott at the ‘Farming Matters’ talk. PHOTO/SUPPLIED

On the forefront of many farmers minds was Wairarapa Federated Farmers president William Beetham’s question about whether National would support bringing farmers into the Emissions Trading Scheme [ETS]. “I don’t support agriculture coming into the ETS at this moment,” Bridges said. He said he believed in “human induced climate change” but advocated for an independent sciencebased climate commission to oversee climate change policy. “Climate change is real, but that doesn’t mean we should be crazy in our response to it.” Bridges also took a similar question from Wainuioru sheep and beef farmer James Cates who asked whether National supported the Government’s One Billion

Trees project. Bridges called the project a marketing strategy, similar in impact to the Government’s KiwiBuild initiative. “It’s taking what the market is doing already. “It’s PR and spin which is wasting a lot of your money.” South Wairarapa dairy farmer Leo Vollebregt also put forward a question about National’s stance on water storage research and infrastructure, which Bridges agreed was a “massive issue”. He acknowledged that the issue didn’t relate to farming alone, and that water quality was important in urban areas too. “The dirtiest creek in New Zealand isn’t on a farm, it’s near Henderson where I grew up.” Bridges said he supported research

and the development of infrastructure for water storage, as well as better irrigation schemes as part of the party’s approach to climate change. “If you believe climate change is happening, there’s only one way to deal with it and that’s water storage.” Bridges gave a less conﬁdent response to a question from independent economic development advisor Tina Nixon, who was a strong voice against

the closure of Taratahi Agricultural Training Centre. She asked what the future of vocational training centres and polytechnics would be under a National-led government. Bridges’ said he was open and sympathetic to adopting what the community thought was the appropriate action as part of their manifesto. Wairarapa residents might get more clarity about Taratahi’s future at the Wairarapa Federated Farmers AGM on Wednesday with Minister for Agriculture Damien O’Connor set to make an appearance. Bridges visit to Wairarapa started at 8am with a businesswomen breakfast at Masterton’s 10 O’Clock Cookie Company cafe, and was followed by a tour of Wairarapa Hospital and Landsdowne Park Lifestyle Village, a meeting with forestry industry leaders at JNL, a stop-in at Clareville Bakery, the Farming Matters discussion, and visits to Kuranui College and JR Orchards in Greytown.

Wai Write

Keith Allen This is a true story but before you become too stressed out let me assure you that I was not the victim of a home invasion and its dire consequences. Nevertheless, what did happen was disturbing and scary and amusing all at the same time. These days, my sleep pattern is fitful. I wake about every two hours. Sometimes, but not always, it is because I need to go to the toilet. Fortunately, I am able to go back to sleep fairly quickly, but I am sure that I lose some of the value of the sleep I do have. Last Monday night was no different from any other in this respect, except that I felt a tickle moving up my right leg. Turning on the light above my bed, throwing off the bed covers I was soon standing beside my bed. Looking down, I spotted the culprit, a mid-brown cockroach approximately 8cm long. As some may have done, I did not scream or call for help, press my medical alert or ring the police, but calmly flicked it to the floor. It just sat there, evidently surprised by the turn of events. It was long enough for me to go into the kitchen and collect a piece of newspaper which would

allow me to carry out my disposal plan, something which I had done before. If you place the piece of newspaper in front of it, it will crawl onto it and you can carry it to wherever you want. They won’t go beyond the edge of the newspaper. Apparently, they can’t ﬂy. So far, so good. I carried the cockroachladen piece of paper to the toilet and dropped the little beastie into the bowl and pulled the chain.

This time, it required about four pulls before it ﬁnally disappeared. A job well done, one less cockroach to climb up people’s legs and get into places that they shouldn’t (I shudder to think what might have happened had it got inside my pyjamas). But the reality is quite diﬀerent. They can hold their breath for 40 seconds and it is conceivable that my little critter has found its way up someone else’s sewage pipe and into their

property, nearby or far away. If you ﬁnd one at your place, don’t automatically assume that it came from me. My one is not the only one in the world. It has hundreds and thousands, maybe even millions, of relatives. They are as numerous as the grains of sand on the sea shore. • Keith Allen 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.

Eketahuna standing tall Greytown’s unbeaten run ended and Eketahuna defence gave them a share of the lead. TimesAge sportswriter CHRIS COGDALE reviews the weekend’s club rugby. RUGBY

Strong defence and taking their limited opportunities saw Eketahuna beat Gladstone 13-0 at home on Saturday and take a share of the lead in the Moose Kapene Cup standings. After a very physical first half, which finished scoreless, the match was broken open when speedy Samoan fullback Vaifagaloa Mamoe, who was making his debut for Eketahuna, latched onto a loose ball, beat two defenders and ran 60 metres to score the only try of the match. Much of the result can be attributed to the Eketahuna forward pack who generally got the better of the Gladstone eight. An interesting newcomer to the Eketahuna team was the cousin of former Wallaby Will Skelton, Clinton Keil-Skelton, who stands at 2.01m [6ft 7in] and weighs 130kgs. He played the last 20 minutes at lock and impressed with his power and mobility. The result saw defending champions Gladstone fall to third. Martinborough

continued their resurgence with a confidence boosting 26-16 away win over Carterton. Martinborough coach James Bruce said an improved defensive effort in the first half, where they had only five missed tackles, compared to 26 the week before, was key to the victory. A try just before halftime gave the visitors a four-point lead at the breather. A brilliant try near the end of the game to in-form winger Nathan Hunt, where he chipped over the opposing winger and beat the fullback to score, earned the visitors a valuable bonus point. Martinborough are in fourth place, while Carterton are now six points outside the top four in seventh. Marist showed with their 25-17 defeat over Greytown that, on their day, they can beat any team in the competition. Not only did the victory at Memorial Park keep Marist in touch with the top four, it ended Greytown’s impressive unbeaten start to the championship. An exceptional defensive effort,

especially in the second half, where Greytown threw everything but the kitchen sink at them, earned Marist a deserved victory. Co-captain James Goodger, playing in what many say is his best position at blindside flanker, was in outstanding form, not only in general play, but also snaffling ball from Greytown lineouts. At Whareama, East Coast moved a step closer to the top four with a 60-5 demolition of Masterton Red Star. Again, the Masterton Red Star forward pack competed fiercely but once the Coasties spread the ball wide, they had too much pace and skill, running in 10 tries.

Last Friday night turned out to be a special night for Wairarapa-Bush’s international rugby referee Rebecca Mahoney at the Tararua Sports Awards. Not only was the former Black Ferns international awarded the district’s Official of the Year award for the second time, and the Supreme Award for the fourth time, it was the surprise, organised by her mother Shirley, to receiving her Black Fern’s cap that left her speechless. Former Black Ferns captain and current New Zealand Rugby board member Farah Palmer was on hand to “cap” her former team mate. “Farah is a very good friend. “She was the first person to get me drunk when I was 18 years old after a representative match for Manawatu,” Mahoney said. “It was amazing. I’m still in the middle of my rugby career, but to see the box and the cap, you realise just how much the black jersey means to the girls.” Mahoney, nee Hull, played 16 tests for the Black Ferns, from her debut against Canada in

She was also part of the 2006 and 2010 World Cup winning teams. “To see those two World Cup medals on the wall and I played such a small part in those teams, and now to get this cap, it finishes that part of my career.” Mahoney praised the organisation behind Friday’s award ceremony at the Eketahuna Community Centre. “It was such a good night, a really well-run awards ceremony. “To get my cap in

Wai United hit six goals FOOTBALL

Six goals in the second half saw the Tumu ITM Wairarapa United Women cruise to a 7-0 victory over Victoria University in the Central W-League on Saturday. Playing into a very strong wind in the first half, on the Boyd Wilson Turf, Kelburn, United created several chances but managed to only convert one, when Flo McIntyre found the back of the net. A change of tactics by coach Paul Ifill in the second stanza, to keep Victoria pinned in their own half, worked a treat. United used the wind to perfection and completely dominated territory and possession, and when they didn’t have the ball, they forced the opposition into errors. Central defender Amber Phillips used her height to advantage, scoring a hat trick of goals, all from headers off pinpoint corners from captain Ana McPhie. But the goal of the game went to Dani Turton. The central midfielder, who is making a habit of having long range attempts, hit her shot beautifully from near halfway to

comprehensively beat the stranded goalkeeper. Turton also tried a similar shot into the wind in the first half only for the ball to ricochet off the crossbar. That followed another long-range attempt in the match against Wellington United Diamonds United’s other goals on Saturday came courtesy of veteran striker Meisha Boone and the pacey Sydnie Williams. Ifill said the team played very well in

tricky conditions. “The wind was incredibly strong, the pitch was small, there were no dugouts, it was poor.” He said: “It’s hard to pick out any individuals, all the players including the subs put in a really good shift.” Ifill said it was important to keep the momentum going after the previous Saturday’s victory over Wellington United Diamonds. “It was nice to follow up with a very good win. You

don’t want to follow up the “Lord Mayor’s Cup” with a poor performance and the girls did well.” United will have two weeks before their next fixture. They have been given the bye in the first round of the Kate Sheppard Cup, the national women’s knockout tournament, which will be played on Saturday. Their next outing in the W-League will be at home on Saturday May 18 to competition stragglers

Sport

Seatoun, who have yet to win in the league. United will have to do without their coach for that match. Ifill will be playing for the famous Wallsend Boys’ Club in the annual Hong Kong Masters. The club is famous for producing players, who have gone on to successful professional careers. The most notable are England goal scoring legend Alan Shearer, who scored 30 goals in 63 internationals for England and played 559 matches for Southampton, Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle United, and Michael Carrick, who was capped 30 times by England and played 316 games in a glittering career for Manchester United from 2006 to 2018. The Hong Kong Masters involves seven-a-side games played on a threequarter sized pitch. Ifill will need to overcome a hamstring injury, which saw him miss the United men’s Central League loss to Western Suburbs last Saturday. He is hopeful the injury will be right for him to be on the bench for Saturday’s Chatham Cup clash with Upper Hutt City.
