‘No one should go hungry’ EMILY IRELAND Children shouldn’t have to go to bed on an empty stomach. And this winter, they won’t have to thanks to a new initiative spearheaded by the Wairarapa Community Centre, WaiWaste and Masterton FoodBank. Going under the banner of Wai Kai, the purpose is to provide ready meals to residents facing emergency or crisis situations. Meals will consist of whatever donated ingredients come to hand, topped up with pantry staples. Wairarapa Community Centre manager Bev Jack said the concept followed in the footsteps of the successful Soup To Go initiative last

year, which was run for three months over winter. “[Soup To Go] was a soup kitchen to meet the needs over the winter period of families that were hungry,” Bev said. “At the end of

that project, we did a review to see how successful it was and whether it met the need at the time. “Over that three-month period, the community’s need was being addressed, but that need doesn’t stop overnight.

“Unfortunately, the Soup to Go initiative did stop overnight because we didn’t have the funds to continue it.” Bev said Masterton was a district with low income, high unemployment, high housing rates, and rental prices, “and there is so much ﬁnancial pressure put on families that there is certainly that need”. It is hoped Wai Kai will be up and running by winter – “the tentative date is June”. “Every week, we will have cooks volunteer their time in the commercial kitchen of the Community Centre, and we will cook a meal, freeze it, and then hold it as we get those requests from agencies.

Harvest for Wai Kai Piece of mind

Emily Ireland

I have never had to go to bed hungry. And my guess is that neither have a lot of people reading this. But unfortunately, this is a reality for many families in the Wairarapa. Every person has the right to be free from hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition, and although the right to food doesn’t automatically imply that our government has an obligation to hand out free food to everyone who wants it, if we have surplus food in our local community, why wouldn’t we do just that? Wai Kai is a beautiful initiative that fills a gap in services currently provided in the Wairarapa. While FoodBank provides food hampers for those in desperate need, Wai Kai will offer precooked frozen meals for people in all sorts of situations. Between Mayor Lyn Patterson and Bev Jack, they told me of potential situations where this new service would come in handy. This included providing meals to families if parents were ill or away, providing meals for elderly who were living at home and were ill or injured, and of course, providing a ready and nutritious

meal for those who simply could not afford it that day. The beauty of the initiative is that the meals would be prepared from ingredients that were available at the time and had been donated. Maybe you have a vegetable garden and have a stack of surplus silverbeet, tomatoes, or basil? Or maybe you have overenthusiastic laying hens, or buckets of surplus feijoas? Whatever you have a surplus of, drop it off to the Wairarapa Community Centre, and it will go towards making sure no one in Wairarapa goes to bed hungry. Wouldn’t that be the day . . . I’m excited to see this initiative take off, and am interested to know just how much the service is used. Unlike the three-month-long Soup To Go initiative last year, Wai Kai is around to stay until it is no longer needed. And it needs the support from the community to make sure that can happen. Maybe your place of work can organise a gold coin donation to the cause? Perhaps even a bake sale? Or maybe as a team-bonding exercise you and co-workers can become cooks for a day at the Community Centre? Schools may like to have a community garden, harvesting the vegetables for Wai Kai? The options to help out really are limitless, and the amount of good it will do for the Wairarapa is limitless too.

Wairarapa Midweek

Student hits the right notes Kuranui College Year 13 student William Taber has once again received the honour of selection for the National Youth Orchestra, playing the double bass. This huge achievement has come with honours as he will also be second chair. William, who comes from a strong musical background, said that this was an exciting opportunity for him as he enjoyed making music and it was something that his whole family participated in. His aim, this time, is to increase his repertoire and orchestral skills. The week-long course will be held in the July school holidays at the Michael Fowler centre in Wellington. During his time there he will be challenged by rehearsing for a public concert at the end of the week. Aside from the double bass, William is also proficient in piano and will be auditioning for the New Zealand School of Music later this year. “It’s pretty intense because everyone there is a top student and we all want to get in,” William said. If successful, he hopes that the study will take him on a career path in both playing and composing music. “I’m happy to be playing music, in any form, whether it be orchestral or in another field, just as long as I’m making music.” William loves fishing and camping when he’s not playing, but he advises any budding musician to “practice, practice, practice”. “You’ve got to put in the hours to achieve your dreams.”

Ollie is a gentle kitty about 5-6 years old. He needs to be rehomed as his owner had to move into a bus and Ollie isn’t happy there. He has been looking for a new home since March. He’s an independent boy and spends a lot of time outdoors. His owner says he is quite the gentleman and will let the other cats he lives with eat before he does. Ollie is a bit on the shy side, but he loves cuddles and a lap to sit on. He’s not a particularly good hunter but that’s because of his kind heart — he’d rather let them get away. Ollie has been vet checked, desexed, vaccinated and FIV tested. His adoption fee is $80. If you are interested in Ollie call Lee at KittyCat Rehoming on 021 0843 8935 or email kittycatrehoming@gmail.com • KittyCat Rehoming Wairarapa is a non-profit initiative that works to find loving homes for stray and abandoned cats and assists owners in difficult circumstances to rehome their cats. • Visit their Facebook page KittyCat Rehoming Wairarapa.

‘Kids can’t go off to bed on empty bellies’ CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “They will come pick up the food and take it to the families.” Bev said for Wai Kai to be successful, it would need to involve the whole community. “There are people who have gardens that will have surplus vegetables – we can use those. “There are groups, clubs, churches, organisations, businesses that may want to do a community day – we challenge them to come to us and cook for a day. “We intend this project to be ongoing whilst the need is there. This is not a threemonth project. We will continue to go until

our agencies tell us that need is no longer there.” Masterton FoodBank coordinator Lyn Tankersley said the poverty line in the region was “moving up into the middle class”. “We are continuing to provide food parcels for people in our community . . . but the number has dramatically increased. “We fed 946 people in the ﬁrst two weeks of April. “It has been a really big month for us, doing an average of 18 parcels a day.” She said Wai Kai would not “take away” from the cause of the FoodBank, or any other local initiatives. And the Wai Kai concept has the seal

of approval from Masterton mayor Lyn Patterson who said she “[takes her] hat oﬀ to all the organisations that are getting behind this”.

“I suppose the sad part for me is that we actually need it in the first place. “I’m really worried when I hear Bev and Lyn talk about a growing need. “There’s a part of me that is sad we have these families going through this, but that is the reality for a lot of people in our community and what the agencies deal with every day.” She said she would love for everybody to “get behind” Wai Kai – “anything we can do to help is good”. “Kids can’t go off to bed on empty bellies or off to school on empty bellies.” • If you would like to be involved with Wai Kai, contact Bev at the Wairarapa Community Centre on (06) 3771022 or info@wcct.co.nz.

Planting the seeds of change Sustainable living is a phrase people either embrace wholeheartedly or completely shy away from. TimesAge Reporter ELISA VORSTER branches out to learn about what one Carterton resident is doing to show others how to have fun while creating a resilient community. As someone who regularly describes her garden situation as looking like that of an abandoned house, I’m easily impressed by anyone who has a tidy garden. The extent of my gardening knowledge stretches as far as having once successfully harvested a vegetable garden, and breaking out in welts on the rare occasion I try to pull weeds. When 80-year-old Helen Dew told me about her plans for building a garden from scratch to promote sustainable living, I was deﬁnitely intrigued. From the moment I arrived at the house it was all go – her planter boxes were being built right then and there by landscaper Richard Ashcroft, and her new kit-set tunnel house was about to be delivered. We agreed to talk for half an hour, but this only scratched the surface of her wealth of knowledge, and two hours later I felt I still had so much more to learn. The ﬁrst 20 minutes

saw me getting schooled on the community’s green dollar (a mutual credit system) and other local currency systems which she said were a “vital contribution to the economic fabric of a functioning community”. Then Mrs Dew went on to explain how the simple joy of always eating seasonal produce meant she could celebrate the first strawberry and first tomato of the season. Whatever she doesn’t produce herself, she buys locally, such as mushrooms, nuts and eggs, and she hates the thought of missing a farmers’ market, as she sees it as an important part of networking in the community. “I don’t want to be fully self-sufficient,” she says. “I prefer inter-dependent. “I don’t want to do everything for myself.” She refuses to use a weed mat, as it’s a carbon product and creates a carbon footprint. Instead she is lining the ground with old newspapers soaked in water and using recycled wool carpet. “I’m reutilising something that’s going to waste and that’s helping the carbon footprint as well.”

Her food scraps don’t go to waste either – instead they are used for feeding her worm farm. It came as little surprise to hear she featured in the movie ‘Living the Change’ – a New Zealand documentary about people doing inspiring things to mitigate the effects of climate change. As a member of the community group Resilient Carterton, Mrs Dew had previously organised a screening of the film at the Carterton Events Centre for Sustainability Week, and had since regrouped with people who attended the screening to discuss the projects it had inspired. The projects ranged from installing community gardens, collecting coffee grounds to distribute to gardeners, to enlisting help from an Auckland tutor to construct a rammed earth house.

But for Mrs Dew, the concept of sustainable living started decades ago, living as a vegetarian at her Costley St residence which saw her almost fully sustainable all year round. “It’s quite demanding to have suﬃcient supplies, but I’ve learnt skills for drying, dehydration, making pickles and jam, and I have a supply of garden vegetables in the freezer.” Her previous home had an extensive vegetable garden, numerous fruit trees and a water bore. In fact, the garden was so successful, she hadn’t needed to go near a supermarket for almost three months and even had surplus produce to sell at the local farmers’ markets. However, a few months ago Mrs Dew started to experience health problems. She was struggling to walk unassisted and thought she was going to have to go into care. With the right medication, her balance was restored, and she became mobile again, but knew a smaller property would put less strain on her. “I needed to reduce time and energy the previous property demanded.” She moved to her two-bedroom property at William Wong Pl, but not before making sure the garden was going to meet her needs. “Oh yes, that’s very important,” she says. Starting again from scratch would seem daunting to most people and no-one would begrudge Mrs Dew for taking the opportunity to retire in relaxation. Instead she set about making 12 bins of her own compost and has plans to plant an orchard of fruit trees as well as awaiting the installation of a water bore. “It puts less demand on the town water supply especially in times of drought and gives me access to water whenever I want it.”

Carterton District Council three years ago and things have spun out from there. “I had a vision of the Events Centre ﬁlled with people excited about what they would like to see Carterton become. “One person can have a big idea and it might go nowhere, but you’ll have fun along the way. “Carterton has something in the water – it’s a caring community of welcoming people. “I don’t think you can over-emphasise community connectedness in measuring the well-being of a community.” She hoped her small garden would inspire others and show them the capacity for food production in a limited space. “I want this place to be a model to inspire ideas of what people could do in their own properties.”

She said the bore would also provide her with chemical-free water which would help the micro-organisms in her homemade compost ﬂourish. I was worried about how to politely ask why she cared about sustainability at this stage in her life, but I was relieved when she chuckled in response. “It’s for the current population as well as for future generations but don’t put us in a place of guilt to save the planet for the future. “Let’s do something that makes us enjoy life now.” And for her, dreaming big, embracing her creative instinct, and seeing things grow not only makes life fun but helps address the issues of climate change. I was overwhelmed at the thought of embracing a sustainable way of life which stretched further then putting out my recycling each week, but Mrs Dew said it was much simpler than I thought. “Start small and connect with people.” And starting small didn’t exclude having a big idea. “It started with a submission to

Sticking it to wrinkles

KEEPERS

Robyn Mills of Healing Therapy in Featherson. PHOTO/EMILY IRELAND

EMILY IRELAND Having up to 100 needles stuck in your face can be disconcerting at the best of times, but that is what some Wairarapa people are doing in an attempt to fight off wrinkles. And Featherston’s Robyn Mills is one businesswoman trying to make their dreams a reality. Robyn, who moved to Wairarapa two and a half years ago first became interested in acupuncture and ‘dry needling’ six years ago. Dry needling involves the use of hollowcore hypodermic needles. But it was her love of horses, not the cosmetic industry, that sparked her journey. “I have horses and I ride, and I thought there must be something I can do to help horses. “So, I decided I wanted to do a course and found there was an acupuncture course

for horses.” After a year of correspondence, while buying horse acupuncture books, Robyn found a book for sale about facial acupuncture, and got stuck into it. At the time, Robyn was working at the hospital in Tauranga as a sterilising technician, so needles weren’t a new concept for her. After dabbling in the ancient art for a few years, she opened her own business, Healing Therapy from her home in Featherston last year. “With dry needling, you are creating microtrauma in some of the areas like ﬁne lines and wrinkles. “Blood goes to the area, regenerates and heals, and your skin looks younger.” Robyn said plastic surgery rates had dropped in the UK because of alternative cosmetic procedures like facial acupuncture becoming readily available and more

widely practised. “It’s a bit slow to catch on here,” she said. “I think it is absolutely amazing that at least 5000 years ago, this practice, or the development of Eastern medicine was word of mouth. “It wasn’t until about 500 years ago that it was written down. “They used to use bamboo to make needles, and the other thing they used to use was stone – they would file the stone down so fine that they could be used as needles.” She said at one time, facial acupuncture was for the “emperors, empresses, and the concubines, that was all”. “I just find that amazing.” Robyn has also created her own version of Tiger Balm, called Cougar Balm. • For more information, visit www.healingneedles.biz.

It’s Only Me

Graeme Burnard

Have you ever gone out for lunch or dinner, picked up the menu and thought bloody hell, I want a meal not a mortgage? You end up choosing the cheapest thing on the menu, a bottle of their best house water and you share a dessert. I now go online and check menus before I book anywhere I haven’t been before. If it is just the two of you, it is easy to leave but if you are in a group it’s not a good look to say sorry, we’re off, not paying these prices. I arranged to meet a friend in town for lunch recently and as I approached the cafe we were going to, I saw a sign outside. Creamy Mushrooms on toast, $22.00. I was so outraged I texted my friend with a new destination. Their signage designed to entice me in actually turned me away. I also think $5 for a coffee is outrageous. Not so much because of what it costs the consumer but because of the huge mark up.

I think some lucky café has just had the rent bill paid for the week. And if you believe getting a good coffee is worth paying such inflated prices, why would you want to drink it out of a paper cup. I can recall a few years ago, a café owner once telling me that her $3 coffees actually cost her 39 cents to produce and I suspect the mark up is similar today. And what about a glass of wine! If two of you want to have a glass of wine and go to the movies at a certain establishment in town it will set you back $56.00. But a glass of wine it is not. It’s only half a glass of wine and no one seems to mind paying $12 for it. I wonder what would happen if your $5 paper coffee cup was only half full. Oh, that’s right, it is. I forgot that most of it is only foam. Maybe you would like to try the worlds’ most expensive dessert. But you would need to travel to New York. The Golden Opulence Sundae at USD1000 is a treat of Tahitian vanilla ice cream infused with Madagascar vanilla, blanketed in 24-carat (edible) gold leaf and topped by Amedei Porcelana chocolate syrup and chunks of Chuao chocolate from Venezuela. Parisian candied fruits, gilded almonds, truffles and marzipan cherries decorate the sundae and it all sits in a Baccarat crystal goblet that you can take home afterwards. Served with a coffee to go, in a paper cup, what more could you want?

GARDEN

YARN

WITH

Have you noticed how close together houses are being built now? If you would prefer a bit of privacy from the

neighbours then we have the solution for you. Now is the perfect time of year to be getting your plants in the ground, and with our extensive selection of GardenBarn grown shrubs for only $9.90 you will have a natural screen from the outside world in no time!

Not only do hedges block out sight & noise, they are a cheap alternative (or addition) to fencing. As a rough guide, a 10m hedge planted at 1m apart would only cost you $99! That’s A Great Price for a Fence! Hedges/Shelter belts look pleasing to the eye, you can choose ones that encourage the birds & bees, provide food, fragrance and more. They are great as a wind (and noise) break and can hide “unsightly” buildings or objects around the property. Here’s a few of the fast growing, low maintenance, easy to establish, hardy & tolerant plants we have for you to choose from … but there’s many more! PITTOSPORUMS: These are one of the most popular choices for native hedging, shelter & screens. They are very fast growing and not too fussy about where they live. There’s different foliage & they can grow to different heights. Some to choose from are: Mountain Green: Small vibrant lime-green leaves, will grow to around 4m at maturity, trims well. Gold Star: Smaller growing type with gold variants in the slightly crinkly leaf. Limelight: Bushy erect grower with small glossy green leaves and red stems. Bright purple flowers in spring give off a sweet fragrance.

NEW MOON - May 9TH FULL MOON - May 16TH

Some quick tips for planting a hedge:

A FABULOUS EXAMPLE OF WHAT CAN BE ACHIEVED BY PLANNING YOUR HEDGE WELL. GRISELINIAS: These also do well in almost any conditions: coastal, wind, cold, sun or part shade. They may sulk if exposed to extreme harsh frosts & soggy ground. Quick growing and trim nicely. Gecko Green: A more compact type with dense foliage, smaller leaves and very tidy growth habit. Will grow to around 2m if left untrimmed. Canterbury: Small dark green glossy leaves with red stems. Grows to approx 3m. CHOISYA TERNATA (Mexican Orange Blossom): These are beautiful year round with glossy foliage and clusters of white flowers. Will grow to around 2m high. COPROSMA: They are known as Mirror Plants because of their glossy leaves, and there’s many that are suitable for hedges such as: Karo Red: Dark red foliage that looks good year round, loves to be clipped and will grow to around 1m high. Hot Chocolate: Strong chocolate coloured brown leaves and grows to around 2m high.

MOON CALENDAR

• Clear the area and rid the area of unwanted vegetation • Prepare the soil well first. Cultivate an area around 1m wide by 35cm deep and dig in some “goodness”

A huge range of quality, bushy, established shrubs, only $9.90 to get your hedge off to a great start. This photo doesn’t do the size justice so come in and have a look.

(compost, general garden mix etc).

Add Premium Daltons Planter Tabs to planting hole for a quality slow release fertiliser. This is just a few options but there are many many more to choose from. Come and have a wander around GardenBarn and see for yourself. That way you will get to see the foliage first hand, and have a read of the signs to get more information and compare which is the best option for your garden situation.

The options are huge for hedging! Camellia Setsugekka (and other Camellias) make a great show, and Feijoas & Olives are another good option.

• Set up a string line with stakes at either end, mark the spacings accurately (check recommended spacing of plant). If planting a lower hedge space closer together. • Dig the planting holes to around double the size of the root ball • Add some slow release fertiliser in the planting hole (Daltons Premium Planter tabs are a good choice) • Gently place plants in hole, firm soil around root ball, give a good deep water and add mulch, taking care to keep away from trunk to avoid fungal problems. • Remember: hedges require extra food and water due to close spacing. Clipping the top shoots encourage the hedge to grow thick & strong.

A popular hedging choice for good reason, Choisya Ternata looks good all year.

MOON PLANTING TIPS THIS WEEK May 9 – 10. Dormant period with low sap growth. Don’t plant or sow as crops may go to seed. Ideal for pruning, weeding and harvesting all crops.

Carterton

Creative collaboration EMILY IRELAND

Carterton’s Michael Benson has an interesting few years ahead of him, with plans to make a movie, a video game, and continue to work on creative projects with his crew of international creatives. Michael, who has lived in Wairarapa since 2013, is one mind in a team of five that make up the creative collective, M = Delta V + C. The small amateur team, which banded together at the end of last year, are developing electronic products, software, movies and web-series, FX, an ezine and web-comic, graphic novels, and indie video games. Other group members are based in Christchurch, Spain, Canada, and California. “My key thing is writing,” Michael said. “I’ve been writing manuscripts since I was 13 – of course back then, they weren’t very good.” But even back then, his ideas had potential. In 2002, Michael took the manuscript he wrote as a 13-year-old and rewrote it as a 200-page short novel. “Around that time, I rewrote some of it as a TV pilot, sent it to TVNZ, and they called me back and said, ‘we like it, it’s quirky’. “We had a conversation, but it was decided my vision for it was a bit ambitious, and they couldn’t afford to do it on a $10,000 budget. “But their interest was enough motivation for me to keep going.” Michael, who says he has been a

Carterton ratepayers may be facing higher consent fees in the next year, but the council says the price tag is the result of a more consistent and efficient process for residents and developers. Carterton District Council’s Long Term Plan is currently out for consultation to the public with the first public meeting held at the Carterton Events Centre last week. Should the consultation document be adopted, many consent fees for residential properties will increase in price.

This project has a two-year time frame with completion scheduled for April 20, 2020. “There’s a lot of other projects we are working on that could take a lot less time. “In two years, we should be doing quite well.”

Talent comp nears The heat for the first run of Talent Wairarapa took place on May 5, and it is now full steam ahead for the final show, scheduled for May 19 at the Carterton Events Centre. Hosted by the Carterton Rotary Club, acts are expected to range from dancing to singing, magicians, and other stage performers. The competition is the brainchild of Rotarian and Carterton resident Vickie Pickering who said she instigated the competition after constantly hearing about an array of talented Wairarapa people. There are two categories for entrants, 14s and under, and over 14s. There will be a $1000 prize for the over 14s winner, and $500 for the winner of 14s and under. • For more information, visit talentwairarapa.co.nz

We have been bearing the cost of this for the last year and now we need to share that cost. The fee to build a new single storey house will increase by $250, a multistorey house by $385, and minor building work such as room extensions will cost an additional $74. Some inspection fees would also increase from $177 per hour to $195 per hour. However, commercial consent fees would remain the same. Planning and regulatory manager David Gittings said the cost reflected the easier and more consistent online application service implemented at the beginning of 2017. He said the move to the electronic process was the sole reason for the rise in fees, which ratepayers had not been paying for before now. “We have been bearing the cost of this for the last year and now we need to share that cost,” he said. “Consent fees haven’t gone up for a while.” Carterton was one of 28 pilot councils who joined the GoShift initiative, which provides an online application programme designed to streamline the consent process and allow people to apply at any time of day. Mr Gittings did not believe the rise in fees would affect development in the region and would instead encourage developers, who could now face the same regulations and application process across various councils. “It makes it easier for the customer and developers,” he said. “We have had developers complain that across the road and across the river there are different requirements.”

Sustainable building Jill Greathead Volunteering Wairarapa

A unique opportunity for volunteering exists if you are keen to learn about sustainable building and want to be part of an exciting project. On Chester Road, Carterton, a rammed-earth house is being built with construction starting late May. Owners Timo Jaegle and Erin Betteridge are looking for help over a three-week period to help build the walls of the house. This involves mixing lime (90 per cent) and cement (10 per cent), wheelbarrowing it to where it will be rammed and then bucketing this mixture into the boxing of the walls. Timo and Erin would appreciate volunteers who are happy to give one day or more of volunteering starting at 8am and finishing at 5pm. Three volunteers are needed each day over the three-week period starting at the end of May. If you are keen to be a part of this project as a volunteer, give Timo a call on 021 199 2905 or email him on timo. jaegle@gmail.com. Timo and Erin are keen to share this concept with the community and potentially hold workshops for those who want to find out more. When the building is completed they will hold an open home for those keen to see the resulting structure. Rammed Earth buildings have thermal mass properties with energy efficiency which creates durability and

health benefits. Their home is 154 square metres and will comprise three bedrooms, two bathrooms and an open-plan living area. There will be hot water underfloor heating, run by an air-to-water heat pump, as well as German tilt-and-turn windows and a 3.5kw solar system. Timo and Erin share their land with 21 chickens, 11 ducks, two pigs, two goats, and Miss Dakota their loving dog – a Weimaraner. This is a great example of sustainable living in action.

ADVERTORIAL

High school students enjoy better English grades with Knowledge Shop Hundreds of college-aged students have enjoyed greatly improved school and NCEA English results with the help of Knowledge Shop.

“Ideally, we want students reading and writing ahead of their curriculum level before they start NCEA 1.”

Knowledge Shop was established by John Horrell ten years ago in Wellington. Recently he opened a new branch in Greytown.

Before students start the programme, they complete a comprehensive diagnostic test so their individual strengths and weaknesses can be identified.

The business provides academic English tuition for school students from years 7 to 13. John says that the NCEA programme aims to support students through those difficult senior years, making the process as stress-free as possible. “Most NCEA students come to us for help with the same kinds of issues. Writing essays, structuring ideas, studying texts and general writing skills are areas that many students find diffi cult.” Knowledge Shop students consistently gain excellent NCEA grades, which John says is good evidence that the programme is on the right track. “When I started Knowledge Shop, I initially only tutored NCEA level students but I found that many students lacked the necessary spelling, punctuation, reading and writing skills to get top grades. There is so little time to teach these skills at NCEA level because students are busy with various assessments, as a result I started to teach Year 9 and 10 students as well, to ensure they are ready for NCEA level English.” The Year 9 and 10 programme focuses on the development of skills.

After-sunset light show

“The tests also provide a benchmark against which we can measure progress.” John is an experienced educationalist. He was a teacher, deputy principal and a lecturer at a Teacher Training College before starting his own education business. He also has a deep interest in study skills and gives frequent presentations on how students can become more effective learners. “We aim for students to develop the necessary self-management skills and study techniques to become independent learners.”

John is giving his first study skills presentation in Greytown on Tuesday the 29 of May. Knowledge Shop is running a series of English diagnostic tests through May in Greytown, and the weekly classes are held in the evenings, at either 5pm or 6.30pm. John says, “We are very happy to be operating in the Wairarapa and supporting the good work done by schools in the region.” To find out more contact John and Anne Phone (04) 478 8000 or Email knowledgeshopnz@xtra.co.nz

INTRO OFFER FREE diagnostic English tests for students from years 9 -13, on Sunday the 13 and 20 of May. The comprehensive tests which usually cost $55.00, will give you a snapshot of your child’s current achievement levels in reading, spelling, punctuation, grammar, vocabulary and writing style. Results will be provided to you in person, and in an email report.

Email or call John or Anne to book an appointment. Phone: (04) 478 8000 E-mail: knowledgeshopnz@xtra.co.nz

Sky Watch Nick Sault

For the remainder of the winter, the night sky show will feature the five brightest objects. The show starts this week if you get a clear sky an hour after sunset. In the south-east, Jupiter is rising, while in the opposite side of the sky, Venus is following the sunset. As we are fortunate in our latitudes to have the top three brightest stars visible at once, we can make a comparison with these two brightest planets. So, if you follow towards the south from Jupiter, Alpha Centauri sits below the obvious crucifix of the Southern Cross and is the fifth brightest object in the current night sky. Head towards the north-west and almost overhead is the second brightest star and our fourth brightest object, the star Canopus in the constellation of Carina, the keel of the ship. Then head towards north and still nearly overhead is the brightest star, Sirius, number three in our current sky list. The three stars may be a challenge to see this soon after sunset, but they will pop out quite dramatically in the

next hour. But before then, head down to the north-west horizon to catch Venus before it follows the sun over the horizon. From observation, these stars and planets from brightest down are: Venus, Jupiter, Sirius, Canopus and Alpha Centauri. However, their true brightness is very diﬀerent - Canopus, Sirius, Alpha Centauri, Venus, Jupiter. The three stars are actually many millions of times brighter than the two planets, and Canopus is many hundreds of times brighter than Sirius and Alpha Centauri. The diﬀerence in actual brightest of these objects compared with what we see, all comes down to their relative distances. On May 9, Jupiter is in opposition, which means it will be its closest approach to us for some time. Meanwhile, as the weeks move on into winter, Venus will stay with us later and later and become quite a stunning object, due to its relative proximity to us. For you early risers, you may get to see some Eta Aquarid meteors. On Thursday, just look high in the north-east around 5.30am onwards. There is a bit of a moon, but you should catch some meteors if the sky is clear. If it is not clear or you can’t make it that morning, the meteors will still be shooting for a number of days after. Up next: I’ll tell you about a comet that’s coming and we’ll look at NASA’s asteroid watch.

Fireﬁghters paid a visit NZ First MP Ron Mark, left, and Labour MP Kieran McAnulty. PHOTO/SUPPLIED

On May 4 – International Firefighters’ Day – Labour Party List MP Kieran McAnulty and NZ First List MP Ron Mark visited Wairarapa Fire brigades to acknowledge their service to the community. Visiting Carterton, Featherston, Greytown, and Masterton brigades the MPs discussed issues facing the brigades ranging from recruitment, resourcing, building upgrades and the recent merger between Fire and Rescue and Rural Fire Service. Mr McAnulty, a former volunteer firefighter in Greytown and Masterton, said it was great to visit his old stomping grounds again. “I had to resign from the fire service upon being elected to Parliament, and it is something I really miss,” Mr McAnulty said. “So, it was really nice to be able to catch up with the old crews and hear about what is going on. “These men and women, the vast majority of whom are volunteers, protect life and property right throughout Wairarapa. They sacrifice a lot to keep our communities safe”. Last year, Wairarapa Firefighters responded to more than 2000 callouts, including structure fires, vegetation fires, medical emergencies, motor vehicle accidents and severe weather events. Following these simple safety steps this winter will assist in reducing the number of callouts.

A team of

Wairarapa Midweek

heart at Greytown Dental

ADVERTORIAL

Greytown Dental is pleased to introduce three highly skilled dental professionals to the South Wairarapa. Greytown Dental was established two years ago by Dr Manjima Sony and Sony Paul. Dr Manjima Sony is a qualified and widely experienced dental practitioner who has worked in the Wairarapa for the past nine years. Located upstairs in The Hub, they designed the modern space so that it would eventually accommodate a team of dental professionals. The first to join them was dental hygienist Kathleen Brown. They have now been joined by highly experienced dentists Dr Julie Stent and Dr Lallit Rajpal. The other members of the team are senior dental assistant Kylie Hansen, dental assistants Jade Hazelwood and Claire Crispin, and office administrator Nikki Smith. The state-of-the-art dental practice is set amongst Greytown’s classic Victorian architecture, with a view of a beautiful century old walnut tree for patients to enjoy. Greytown Dental is the culmination of Dr Manjima’s dream of a being part of a team of energetic, fun, hardworking dental professionals.

“

I am about people. I want everyone who comes here to feel welcome from babies to grandparents to whole families. We are a professional ‘team of heart’, dedicated to achieving this.

”

Dr Manjima Sony Dr Julie Stent PRINCIPAL DENTIST

DENTIST

A qualified dentist with 16 years’ experience in New Zealand and overseas, Dr Manjima co-founded Greytown Dental two years ago. Her warm personality and professionalism has attracted both patients and an excellent team of professionals. Dr Manjima enjoys all aspects of dentistry, in particular implants and oral surgery. She also enjoys cosmetic work such as restoring crooked and discoloured teeth, crowns and veneers. “I have always had passion for people and really value the contribution I can make to a person’s quality of life. “I see my work as creative and consider it both a privilege and a blessing to fulfil this here in this community.”

Julie graduated from Otago University in 1991. She has practiced both in the United Kingdom and New Zealand, finally settling in the Wairarapa. She is skilled in all aspects of dentistry, including root fillings, crowns, and bridges, and loves to create beautiful smiles. “Aesthetics are important for me. I want my patients to be happy with how they look when they leave, and when I meet them on street to think - yep, that looks good!” Having attractive teeth does not always require major surgery, Julie points out. “Sometimes it can be as simple as reshaping the tooth or adding a bit more filler. If something is annoying you, just come in and ask.” Julie also offers wrinkle treatment which is highly compatible with dental work. “As a dentist you learn the fine details of the anatomy of the face and both are concerned with aesthetics.”

The Greytown Dental team from left: Principal Dentist Dr Manjima Sony, Dental Hygienist Kathleen Brown, Dentist Dr Lallit Rajpal, Dental Assistant Claire Crispin, Office Administrator Nikki Smith, Snr Dental Assistant Kylie Hansen, Dentist Dr Julie Stent, and Dental Assistant Jade Hazelwood

Dr Lallit Rajpal Kathleen Brown DENTIST

DENTAL HYGIENIST

Dr Rajpal worked at his practice in Tawa and surrounding regions for over 35 years before joining Greytown Dental. He also worked for New Zealand Corrections for nine years, serving Wellington and Christchurch prisons. Dr Rajpal was excited when he learned that Greytown Dental was looking for a part-time dentist as the position perfectly matched his desire to carry on in the profession he loves but with a better work/life balance. “I love to drive, and there is no traffic congestion so it’s a pleasure to come over here three days a week.” Dr Rajpal was also attracted by the professionalism of Dr Manjima and her team. He offers all dental treatments with a special interest in rehabilitative work. “Instead of simply pulling teeth out, I try to restore them where possible through such means as crowns, bridges and root canals which I find thoroughly satisfying.”

With the wealth of experience Kathleen has as a dental hygienist, you know you are in the best hands. Kathleen first became interested in teeth as a child as her father was a dental technician. She served as a dental hygienist in the Royal New Zealand Defence Force for nine years and then in private practice for 21 years. Kathleen first got to know Dr Sony when they worked together at the same Carterton dental practice for four years. “I still love being a dental hygienist because I am helping people every day. I like to chat to my patients about how they can have a healthier mouth and teeth. “It is not about having perfect teeth and gums in one visit, but a journey where your comfort is valued more than getting it all right at once.”

PINEHAVEN KEEPS GREYTOWN’S FRUIT GROWING TRADITION ALIVE

OUT & ABOUT IN

GREYTOWN

When you buy apples – and many other fruits – at Pinehaven’s shop just north of Greytown you can be certain they were home-grown. Pinehaven Orchards marked its 104th anniversary this year and is still owned and operated by the Meyrick family. It grows and sells many Kiwi classic varieties including Gala which was first discovered in one of its orchards, along with 11 other varieties of apples. Pinehaven Orchards grows six varieties of pears, stone fruit including nectarines, plums and peaches, berries, and some vegetables. There’s always a wide selection of other fresh fruit and vegetables in store, as well as some gourmet foods, and basic groceries like eggs and soft drinks. You can enjoy its real fruit ice cream – or some home grown fruit – in the picnic area beside the shop which is open 8.30am to 5.30pm every day.

HEARTY AUTUMNAL MEALS ON THE MENU AT TURKEY RED Hearty, warming food, accompanied with a quality craft beer, is what’s called for in Autumn. Turkey Red has a range of filling meals on its Main Menu including Beef and Pork Schnitzel, Fish & Chips, Scotch Fillet, Seafood Chowder, Spiced Spare Ribs and Cannelloni. There is also a full menu of gourmet burgers guaranteed to put you in country heaven including the Fairbrother Lamb Burger, Forrester’s Venison Burger and Heritage Vegetarian Burger.

GIVE A SHALARI GIFT VOUCHER TO THE MOTHER IN YOUR LIFE THIS SUNDAY Choosing beautiful, quality lingerie for someone in your life is easy at Shalari. Simply purchase a voucher in store to give to the mum you know on the day. That way she can choose the lingerie or swimwear she wants, and also enjoy a personal fitting from owner Tina Dunlop. If the mum shops regularly at Shalari, Tina will most likely already have her details. A mother of teenage children, Tina believes lingerie makes a great gift for mothers who have been focusing almost exclusively on their children for many years. “Transitioning back to having more of a focus on yourself doesn’t come quickly or easily. A gift of lingerie reminds a woman that she is her own unique person.”

MINI EXCAVATOR IDEAL FOR HARD TO GET TO PLACES Pope & Gray now has its own mini excavator which is ideal for drain laying, landscaping and other projects around your home or business. It is especially suitable for hard to reach places as it has a very small width and tracks that are adjustable to get into even tighter corners, for instance between buildings and boundary fences. The excavator (pictured) is quite light at 1.7 tonnes and so is easy on the ground underneath and easy to transport to jobs anywhere in the Wairarapa.

The bird that consumes knowledge - the world is theirs.” Featherston Booktown celebrates these vessels of knowledge.

This year there is a massive kid’s programme, with 10 of the 25 events aimed at children and young adults - from an illustrative monster workshop and hunt to a teddy bear adventure drawing workshop. Featherston Booktown is also giving every Featherston primary school student a $15 voucher to buy a book, redeemable at any of the bookstores in the town.

Te Kahu Rolleston, Poet Workshop “Behold My Cool Style” Fun, inspiring and energetic, Te Kahu Rolleston is a previous winner of the national poetry championship. He creates poetry that links people and people to places. He focuses on breaking down the misconception of poetry – often turning schoolwork into poetry in order to make it easier for kids to learn - and developing informative poetry resources. Te Kahu’s workshops for young people/ rangatahi are incredibly popular, changing perceptions of the written word and what poetry is all about, and inspiring attendees to express poetry in their own way. Te Kahu has published in Puna Wai Korero: An Anthology of Maori Poetry in English from Auckland University Press. This is a wonderful opportunity to listen to, and to work with, an exceptionally talented literary professional.

You wont find Books at cTc ! But you will find everything else including Bruck in the latest Edition of THE SHED

The workshop will be centred around understanding that the writing skills used in poetry can also translate to things that people think are cool - song lyric writing, script writing for movies and stand-up comedy. During the workshop with Te Kahu, you will explore di˜ erent language features to create your poems. Expect a workshop ÿ lled with laughs, good times and inspiration.

Spies Publishing “Create Your Book” Workshop

Featherston Library CodeCups and Hot Chocolate We know kids are creative, love a challenge and are partial to secret codes. We have put together a fun activity that combines all three. Come along and put your favourite book on a takeaway cup: make it coded, a puzzle, a symbol that needs solving. How could you design your cup, so it gives a “clue”, a hint to help us guess? Will our codebreaking, book-loving librarians be able to guess your favourite book? Start thinking about your book now; ideas are sure to ° ow.

A fun workshop for children of all ages where participants will write and illustrate their own story, which is bound together into their very own book to take home and show their friends and family. Spies will help you create your own book, so you can take it home with you. All you need to bring along is your ideas and imagination. There will also be help on themes if you need one for your amazing story.

We will provide a takeaway cup and an array of craft materials; you may want to bring in some bits and bobs from home. Oh and we will provide a yummy hotchocolate and some CodeCups for you to “crack”.

WINTER CARE AND NUTRITION FOR YOUR RABBIT Rabbits can live happily either indoors or outdoors. If outdoors, your rabbit will need a roomy hutch (3m L x 1.5m W x 0.75m H) and a large exercise run that will allow them to hop around and stand up fully on their hind legs. Place the hutch slightly elevated for circulation, facing the morning sun, and protected from the rain and wind. Straw, hay or shredded paper atop a layer of newspaper is the best bedding material and should be checked daily and replaced frequently. Do not use treated timber shavings. If your rabbit lives indoors, they need similar space requirements and can even be trained to use a litter tray. In winter this can be a good solution to keeping them protected from adverse weather. Ensure the house is rabbitproofed (electrical outlets, cords and potted plants) and they are supervised while loose. Rabbits need lots of exercise and companionship. A hutch and exercise run is not enough – they also need time outside their pen every day and social time with you. Providing ramps, tunnels, boxes, climbable objects will allow them to exhibit natural behaviours. We commonly see physical and behavioural problems that are attributed to poor diet. Diet is particularly important in the

Carterton’s Roena Louise Cook, aka Nanny Lou or Aunty Lou, died on Saturday aged 85.

winter as healthy digestion helps to keep them warm. Around 85% of the diet should be grass and/or good quality grass hay (not straw). If your rabbit house doesn’t allow free access to grass then you can pick grass to place in the cage. Do not use lawn mower clippings. Fresh greens should be provided daily - kale, cabbage, spinach, watercress, parsley, celery leaves, carrot tops, dandelion, chickweed, alfalfa sprouts, broccoli, bok choy, basil, puha are excellent choices. Introduce them gradually and any that cause loose stools should be avoided. Fruit and carrots should only be given occasionally in small amounts. Good quality pellets, such as Oxbow brand (sold in store), should only make up a very small portion of the diet (about 40 grams per kg per day). Pellets are useful in providing the vitamins and minerals that may be lacking in their diet. We hope these tips will help keep your rabbit healthy and happy this winter!

Nanny Lou: ‘A wonderful kete of knowledge’ HAYLEY GASTMEIER

Known simply as Nanny Lou or Aunty Lou to many, Carterton’s Roena Louise Cook dedicated her 85 years on earth to helping others and bringing people together. She died suddenly on April 28, leaving a massive gap in the Wairarapa community. Last week, at her funeral, the Carterton Events Centre was not big enough to accommodate the hundreds who turned out to pay her tribute. People spilled out into the foyer as Carterton School children gathered on the floor inside the centre around Nanny Lou’s casket. Her great-great granddaughter Jaimee Rangi noted how just five weeks earlier Nanny Lou had stood inside the events centre when she was recognised for her outstanding contribution to UCOL Wairarapa. A passionate community volunteer, Nanny Lou was an honoured kuia for UCOL, which closed its campus yesterday for the day in a show of resect. Archdeacon Wai Quayle said Nanny Lou was as active as ever at age 85, and acted like she was still in her 60s “the way she traipsed around the country” on a regular basis. Nanny Lou lived from May 19, 1932 - April 28, 2018. “There’s a dash in the middle and this lady’s dash was so busy . . . she was one person who made time for everybody.” UCOL kaumatua Mike Kawana said he had learnt much

from Nanny Lou and was both privileged and honoured to have been a “little speck in that dash”. “Nanny Lou wasn’t afraid to tell you off either,” he laughed. Mr Kawana, of Rangitane o Wairarapa, said he always liked it when Nanny Lou was on the marae because it meant everyone behaved themselves. He said Nanny Lou had left a “wonderful kete of knowledge” which would live on through the generations. Carterton Mayor John Booth said she played an integral role

around the council table as a cultural advisor. He said Aunty Lou was held in high regard by the council and was widely respected by the community. She was gracious and kind, with a serene manner. Labour list MP Willie Jackson

said lots of people called her Aunty Lou, but in his case, it was a fact. She was his grandmother’s sister. Mr Jackson said his great aunt would joke there was only two types of Maori – “those who were Ngati Porou and those who wanted to be”. He regretted that he had not seen her for at least three years, and advised the gathering to make whanau a priority, as Aunty Lou did. Stacey Grant said Aunty Lou was a dedicated and passionate leader, who undertook many roles in the community, including as a kuia for the Maori Adversary Group of the Wairarapa Police District and a life member of Maori Women’s Welfare League. Former Carterton mayor and NZ First MP Ron Mark said Aunty Lou had offered him much support and encouragement over the years. He would miss her wisdom, compassion, gentle guidance, and the “firm look” she would give at times when she disproved of his actions. Gavin Rangi said he was raised by Nanny Lou, his grandmother, who was “a bit of a hard case”, with a lovely temperament. Kelly Rangi and Kerin Herlihy also gave tributes. Nanny Lou was the wife of the late Reginald Rangi and the late Douglas Cook. She was a cherished kuia for Hurunui-o-rangi Marae in Gladstone, where she was buried.

NEW PREMISES

ChangeAbility

WELCOMED INTO NEW HOME This Thursday 10 May sees the o˜ cial opening of ChangeAbility’s new home at 7 Victoria Street, Masterton. The building will be blessed by Kaumatua Hariata Te Hana (Aunty Sally) and Mike Kawana at 7.30am and then opened by Masterton Mayor Lyn Patterson. During the morning, the public are invited to explore the building which has gone through dramatic changes to make it ideal for ChangeAbility’s programmes and counselling services. ChangeAbility’s new address is not far from its former home on the third ° oor of the Departmental Building in Chapel Street. The catalyst for the move was the opportunity to purchase the former Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries building. A large amount of the funding came from The Cottage Trust which has been wound up, and donated its ÿ nancial assets to purchase

rooms, nine counselling rooms, and an administration and reception area.

The building was built in 1970 and used as a testing centre for brucellosis. As such, it was a real rabbit warren of rooms and corridors.

“We’ve been so lucky to ÿ nd a suitable building in Masterton, and in the centre of town, says ChangeAbility Manager Jeremy Logan.

The extensive renovations, which included knocking out walls and adding windows, has turned it into an impressive environment for ChangeAbility. It has two large meeting

“We had to ÿ nd a building big enough to meet our requirements. It already had a high earthquake rating, ample o˝ -road parking and features like an internal courtyard.”

Previous owner John Murphy helped get the renovation work rolling, allowing Masterton construction company Rigg Zschokke to get started on the renovations before Christmas. Architect Hugh Tennent and many other friends of ChangeAbility provided services and guidance for free.

CHANGING LIVES FOR THE BETTER ChangeAbility is the new name for an organisation that has been creating real change in the Wairarapa for almost two decades.

This has led to a signiÿ cant change in attitudes towards family violence. Among the services o˜ ered by ChangeAbility are:

In January of last year Wairarapa Community Counselling merged into Stopping Violence Services Wairarapa, the two agencies having previously shared the third ˜ oor of the Departmental Building in Chapel Street.

It also led to the new name which better re˜ ects what ChangeAbility does. Since 2010 ChangeAbility has been collaborating with government, councils, NGOs, schools, medical services and others

BATON OF POSITIVE CHANGE PASSED ON A small but signiÿ cant moment during the o° cial opening of ChangeAbility’s home will be the handing over of the ÿ nal part of The Cottage Trust’s ÿ nancial contribution to the purchase of the building. The history of The Cottage Trust is an interesting one. It goes back 5 0 years when a group of Masterton citizens, led by Dr Owen Prior, raised enough money to purchase a cottage in Cole Street as accommodation for the Wairarapa branch of Marriage Guidance New Zealand. When Marriage Guidance decided local branches should not own property, the cottage was sold with the capital going into The Cottage Trust. Income from the capital helped pay for training and material at Marriage Guidance’s new location in Church Street, as well as assisting clients who otherwise would not have been able to a˛ ord counselling. Marriage Guidance later became Relationships Aotearoa and was the largest provider of professional counselling and relationship education in New Zealand. However, in 2015 it closed after losing

signiÿ cant government contracts. George Bain, Chair of The Cottage Trust Board for many years, says that when ChangeAbility decided to buy its own building it made perfect sense for the assets of the Trust to be used to help its purchase. “The original Cole Street cottage was bought to be used as accommodation for non-proÿ t counselling services, so it seemed entirely appropriate. It is so encouraging that in a town like Masterton, there is a service that is accessible for people, whatever their income.” The link between Relationships Aotearoa and ChangeAbility also continues on in the person of Louise Jackson who was Relationship Aotearoa’s Wairarapa Clinical Leader for many years. Louise was on the board of The Cottage Trust and is on the board of Changeability. “As a Cottage Trust board member, I’m quite delighted that the money has gone across. I’m pleased for ChangeAbility - it’s a very suitable building. Jeremy and his team have put a lot of thought and care into the renovations and are to be congratulated. They are a very special team there.”

“I am proud to have been able to source this ideal building for such a worthwhile and much needed community organisation.” On a weekly basis I am in contact with my extensive commercial data base of owners, buyers and lessees. I have my finger on the pulse when it comes to commercial activity locally. If you are thinking commercial, talk to me first.

experience and opportunity. However, arriving in Oman and starting the ride, it soon became clear that the experience wasn’t going to be either enjoyable or practical. The riders instead chose to do a ride that took them to a lot more places in an incredible country, giving them an experience that they would not have had if they had rigidly stuck to their original plan.

Treat yourself as you would expect to treat others

Another idea shared by Jordan Peterson in his book 12 Rules for Life . . . we are often told to treat others as we would like to be treated. Another perspective is to treat ourselves as we treat others.

It’s time to start looking after ourselves; eat well, stay healthy, ﬁnd time for exercise, spend time with friends and family. The better we do treat ourselves, the more equipped we will be to take care of those who matter most to us.

From Russia . . . with love CAL ROBERTS A Masterton-born actor has returned home from Moscow with an international award. Kieran Charnock, 26, has won best actor for his role of Jack in the Kiwi arthouse drama, ‘Stray’, during the Moscow International Film Festival award ceremony last weekend. The film was his first leading role. Charnock said the moment the presenter called his name was surreal. “I don’t know how I managed to get up to the stage and give a speech – I have no idea how that happened.” “I just remember as soon as my name was called out my director, Dustin (Feneley), hugged me and said, ‘you did it!’.” The festival was Charnock’s first time in Russia. He said he was blown away by the hospitality of the locals. After accepting the award, Charnock was ushered backstage and given what he called “the full Brad Pitt treatment”. “I walked around the corner and there were about 30 photographers with their flashes going non-stop.” “Kieran, over here! Kieran, look at me!” After a few minutes of photos Charnock moved through to a conference, where another room full of television cameras was waiting for him. The star treatment did not end when he returned to the reception following the ceremony. “I was asked for photos and autographs for ages – it was just crazy.” He celebrated with cast and crew at a party for award winners and special guests. The trophy itself, called a Silver Saint

In a way I guess winning the award was validation that maybe I am on the right track. It was an amazing validation, and I’m very grateful for that. George, is impressive. “I’m so happy about that – it’s the coolest award I’ve seen.” Charnock said during the festival he received praise for his portrayal of Jack but before the awards felt people were simply being polite. “In a way I guess winning the award was validation that maybe I am on the right track. “It was an amazing validation, and I’m very grateful for that.” ‘Stray’ is an unconventional love story set in New Zealand’s Southern Alps. It focuses on two people finding solace in each other while struggling to reconcile their broken pasts. The film premiered in Moscow this month as part of the festival. Charnock did not know what to do with the award now he was home, but his proud father might like to hold on to it. “It’s an amazing achievement for him, and the film, Andrew Charnock said. In his acceptance speech, Kieran thanked his parents, sisters, brother and girlfriend.

Events & Fundraising On Friday 6th April in memory of a much loved son these two sisters joined together to fundraise by shaving their hair for cancer! Raising over $800.00 from friends family and supporters Tina Te Tau family representative said this was done with absolute aroha, to recognise the work Cancer Society does in our community. We extend our gratitude to the Te Tau whanau for their support. NOTE: Membership subs are due now. All new members welcome.

Charnock was a student at Hadlow School then Rathkeale College in Masterton. He received training overseas at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama in Cardiff. Charnock had acted in several films prior to ‘Stray’, including The Rehearsal, with fellow Kiwi actor, James Rolleston. Before the festival, he said awards could be an opportunity to elevate his career. “I care about getting to take on more

exciting projects and interesting characters – and awards can sometimes help actors do that.” Now he is looking forward to advancing several new projects. “I’m working with a couple of producers and directors who are trying to get films funded through the film commission and I have roles in two of them if they get greenlit,” he said. Stray will be screened in New Zealand later this year.

Rural romance

Literary critic and historian Lydia Wevers, ONZM, will give a captivating talk about Mary Scott’s famous novels Breakfast at Six and Dinner Doesn’t Matter. PHOTO/SUPPLIED

Who said romance is dead? Certainly not Mary Scott, who was one of the ﬁrst women to write romantic comedies ﬁrmly grounded in New Zealand rural life. Scott’s phenomenally successful novels about life on a farm in the backblocks of New Zealand will be talked about during May’s fourth annual Featherston Booktown, a three-day literary festival celebrating everything about books and reading being held in the south Wairarapa township from May 11 – 13. Literary critic and historian Lydia Wevers, ONZM, will give a captivating talk about Scott’s famous novels Breakfast at Six and Dinner Doesn’t Matter, and discuss the things Kiwis love about country life. Wevers is an authority on the issue with her area of scholarship in New Zealand

and Australian literature. Several of her books have focused on early New Zealand travel writing and writers and she has also edited a huge range of literary anthologies, including, Goodbye to Romance: Stories by Australian and New Zealand Women 1930s –1980s. Her own book, Reading on the Farm, which utilises the Victorian library on Brancepeth Station in the Wairarapa, its staff, and its customers as a means to reflect upon the significance of books, reading, and intellectual life in colonial New Zealand, was published to great acclaim in 2010. Mary Scott: The Rural Romantic is one of 25 literary events being held during this year’s Featherston Booktown, which will open with the popular Fish ‘n’ Chip Supper on May 11th at ‘Rose & Smith’ at the Tauherenikau Racecourse.

Athletes at event’s forefront Commonwealth Games athletes Sally Johnston and Ryan Scaife will be joining Wairarapa people for this year’s Jennian Homes Mother’s Day Fun Run/Walk. Johnston, a five-time rifle shooter at the Gold Coast 2018, Glasgow 2014, Delhi 2010, Melbourne 2006 and Kuala Lumpur 1998 games, will assist with the warm-up and 5km event at Woodside Rail Trail while Scaife, a quarter finalist in the men’s 75kg division, will assist at Henley Lake – both at 10am on Sunday, May 13. Johnston won bronze in the women’s 50m rifle prone division in Kuala Lumpur 1998 before claiming gold in the same division in Glasgow 2014. She and Scaife are part of an inspirational drawcard of 50 athletes lending a helping hand across 33 locations nationwide in efforts to improve the heart health of New Zealand women. This year’s fundraiser is expected to be the biggest yet, with events at 10 new locations, including Greytown. Now in its seventh year, Jennian Homes’ annual event supports the Heart Foundation’s ‘Heart Foundation for Women’ campaign. 2018 also marks the Heart Foundation’s 50th anniversary year. Heart disease is the number-one cause of death for women in New Zealand, claiming the lives of more than 50 women each week, and more than 3000 each year. Jennian Homes COO Aidan Jury said the support of these Kiwi athletes would prove added motivation for everyone to get active and make a great start to their Mother’s Day. “The Jennian Homes Mother’s Day Fun Run/Walk continues to grow in popularity each year and we are grateful for these athletes, like Sally and Ryan, to lend a hand and help save lives and keep more

environment, adequate remuneration, and access to resources, and education.

This Saturday is International Nurses Day, which is celebrated around the world on the 12th of May each year - the anniversary of Florence Nightingale’s birth - to mark the contributions nurses make to society.

“We must add to this the right to be heard and have a voice in decision making and policy development implementation.

This year’s theme is “Nurses: A Voice to Lead, Health is a Human Right”. The International Council of Nurses (ICN) believes that health is a human right and is at the forefront of advocating for access to health - and nurses are the key to delivering it. “All over the world, there are individuals and communities who are su˜ ering from illness due to a lack of accessible and a˜ ordable health care,” says ICN President Annette Kennedy. “But we must also remember that the right to health applies to nurses as well! We know that improved quality and safety for patients depends on positive working environments for sta˜ . “That means the right to a safe working

“There are nurses working in everyday health care settings and in positions of in° uence and decision making that are doing this right now. “This International Nurses Day, let us join together to share how nurses are transforming health care and health systems so that no person is left behind. “Let us join our voices together to be a voice to lead by supporting a people–centred approach to care and health systems, and ensuring˛our voices are heard in in° uencing health policy, planning and provision. “On behalf of us all at ICN, Happy International Nurses Day!”

Nursing a rewarding career for Kandahar’s Heather Maranui If you were born in Greytown after the Second World War, there’s a good chance Heather Maranui was one of the ÿ rst people you ever saw. The retired nurse who now lives at Enliven’s Kandahar Home in Masterton, was responsible for running the then newlyopened, four-bedroom maternity unit at Greytown Hospital during the post-war years. It was a job Heather says she relished. “After the war, we really needed nurses because the men who were coming back from the war weren’t well enough to do a lot of things,” she explains. “I originally wanted to go into general nursing,

but the only vacancies were at St Helen’s Hospital which trained maternity nurses and midwives, so that’s where I started o˜ . From there, I ended up at Greytown hospital, and it turned out to be a lovely career for me. I really enjoyed delivering babies.”

Iwi leadership, chairing the Kahungunu Taiwhenua for a number of years.

As the hospital’s Maori nurse, Heather recalls turning some heads when she ÿ rst started there.

“Heather has done so much for the community, so it’s wonderful to hear her re° ect on her life with pride. It’s extremely rewarding for us to be able to play a part in supporting her and the other residents here, just as they have supported the community.”

“They got a bit of a shock when a Maori arrived, because my maiden name was Heather Norman, you see. But they got over it!” During the 1990s, Heather went on to become a leading ÿ gure in Kahungunu

Home manager Peter Norman says it’s been a privilege to hear ÿ rst-hand from Heather about the remarkable things she’s achieved.

Nurse-led clinics helping preserve older people’s vision

War time experience takes Fay Tomlin in new directions

A nurse for some 30 years, Sally Caldwell has worked in New Zealand and overseas in a range of di˜ erent environments from orthopaedics to ICU.

Fay Tomlin started her career as an ED nurse in England, but soon developed a passion to work for the Australian Flying Doctor service. To be accepted, she needed a midwifery qualiÿ cation which required 18 months training. During the course, she joined the Royal Auxillary Air Force to train as a ˛ ight nurse, and so began career plan A! Until Iraq happened – which wasn’t part of the plan…

But last year her focus shifted when Wairarapa DHB made a bold move to introduce nurseled Avastin injection clinics. Previously, and as is still the case in the majority of New Zealand’s DHBs, Avastin has been provided by doctors that struggle to keep up with the 6-8 weekly treatments in their busy workloads. Training specialty nurses to provide the treatments locally, decreases wait times and makes a huge di˜ erence for the patients. Training took the bulk of her 2017 year, but Sally says it has all been worth it. “The purpose of Avastin injections is to stabilize and preserve vision. It makes an enormous di˜ erence to those whose sight is failing, mostly due to macular degeneration,” she explains. “The injections are not fun to receive, but they are appreciated.

Sally Caldwell says knowing her work really improves the quality of life for her patients makes up for the fact that they dislike coming to see her! “As a nurse, we all want to help and comfort people, but at the end of the day I run a clinic that no one wants to be at, but everybody is grateful for.” Consider a career in nursing and see where your path leads.

Fay became a full time military nurse in Cypress for six months. Eighteen months later she graduated from her midwifery training but was called up to join the Lead Element to Afghanistan as a ˛ ight specialist nurse. During this time Fay had become very used to being autonomous, making critical decisions as a nurse without doctor oversight, and she had learned to realise her our own capabilities. Fay went on to train as a Nurse Practitioner (NP), did her Masters and qualiÿ ed as a prescribing NP. She married and had children and - putting on hold her Flying Doctor dream - the family chose to move to New Zealand in 2012.

Fay Tomlin, Nurse Practitioner, has peppered her career with high adventure and emergency care Fay was employed as the ÿ rst qualiÿ ed NP at Wairarapa DHB in 2016. There are only 301 NPs in New Zealand, and most work in Primary Care. It is still a developing role in the hospital environment. Fay has just signed up to join the NZ Medical Response Team, which provides deployments (for up to a fortnight) in the event of emergency situations in the Paciÿ c region.

Happy International Nurse's Day!

Springboard into the INTERNATIONAL outdoors at Booktown NURSES DAY 12 MAY

A special workshop that encourages people to explore their mind as well as the outdoors will be a highlight during this weekend’s Featherston Booktown, a threeday celebration of all things to do with books and reading. Wairarapa based author Paul Adamson, whose successful book The Beginner’s Book to Hunting and Fishing in New Zealand has been widely read by outdoor enthusiasts all around the country, will host the workshop on Sunday, May 13, at the Royal Hotel in Featherston from 11am until noon. He will talk about how people can get started to explore the great outdoors, where they can go to find information and discuss the rules, regulations and laws around hunting and fishing. He will explain why a balance between ethical considerations, safety, and “just plain having fun” needs to be considered in New Zealand. Adamson will also provide a straightforward, easy to understand journey through each chapter in his book and briefly examine the steps in writing such a book. He has more than 30 years’ experience working as an educator, a principal and a counsellor, and is currently in charge of an alternative education school in the Wairarapa. This workshop is one of 25 events being held as part of the fourth annual Featherston Booktown, which opens on Friday May 11 with the popular Fish ‘n’ Chip Supper at ‘Rose & Smith’ at the Tauherenikau Racecourse. The Fish n Chip Supper includes an after-dinner speech by acclaimed writer and reviewer, Kate De Goldi who writes

fiction for all ages. De Goldi has been a recipient of The Michael King Fellowship and has won the New Zealand Post Children’s Book of the Year twice. Her most recent novel, From the Cutting Room of Barney Kettle, won the Esther Glen Medal at the 2016 NZ Children’s Book Awards. Featherston Booktown Patron, Ms Joy Cowley ONZ, world-famous children’s author and an active supporter of Featherston Booktown since its inception will also be in attendance. Featherston Booktown Trust Chairman, Peter Biggs said the event has come a long way in its four years. “We have secured solid financial backing from local authorities, national and local trusts and our community, both individuals and local businesses. As always, we deeply appreciate the whole-hearted support of the people of Featherston, especially our wonderful volunteers,” he said • View the full Featherston Booktown programme online at www.booktown. org.nz or email info@booktown.org.nz.

Humanitarian work part of Jenny Percival’s nursing career Jenny Percival’s nursing career has taken her places she never dreamed of when she graduated back in 1996. The provision of care that shaped her desire to study nursing has seen her periodically leaving her role as Clinical Nurse Educator at Wairarapa Hospital to ˜ y into Sierra Leone to assist in the Ebola response, to South Sudan to train local nurses and, more recently, to Bangladesh for a month. “In 2014 I had a reached a point where my children were independent and I was freer to explore my own passions, including

humanitarian work,” Jenny recalls. “I have been very lucky to have the support of the DHB in my deployment missions. “It is so immensely satisfying to take our high level of care overseas, to places where they truly struggle. “I didn’t expect when I trained as a nurse that I would be doing all that I am doing now. “Nursing is full of so many exciting opportunities. It is a dynamic career choice, with all the di° erent paths you can explore.”

Proposals on region’s water questioned

Cattle disease threatens region

BECKIE WILSON

PHOTO/JADE CVETKOV

BECKIE WILSON The threat is stronger than ever for Wairarapa farmers as the cattle disease Mycoplasma bovis was found on a Landcorp-owned Pahiatua farm last week. The Ministry of Primary Industries (MPI) announced the infected property as the second farm in the North Island to test positive. State-owned enterprise Landcorp confirmed its property Rangedale Station, a 1380ha sheep and beef property, was the infected Pahiatua farm. Landcorp head of communications Simon King said about 300 cattle would be culled. The station bought a number of bulls in November last year from a Hawke’s Bay property to control summer feed, Mr King said. Then in early March, they were informed that “some of those bulls” had been traced to an infected farm and required blood sampling. The incurable disease was first detected on two dairy farms owned by the Van Leeuwen Dairy Group near Oamaru in July last year. It can infect both calves and cows with symptoms including pneumonia, udder infection (mastitis), and arthritis. According to the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) there was no concern about consuming milk and milk products from infected cows, and the disease is not a human or food risk. The farm manager and Landcorp informed farmers from neighbouring properties last week of the suspected infection, and then held a meeting on Wednesday to confirm the positive testing. Testing on the farm began after National Animal and Identification Tracing (NAIT) records showed a connection with an infected property, Mr King said. “Once we became aware that we had purchased stock from an infected farm we began testing animals and self-imposed an animal movement ban from the property.” The station won the 2012 Horizons Ballance Farm Environment Award.

Nine months since ﬁrst detected The infectious cow disease, Mycoplasma bovis, was ﬁrst detected in July last year on two dairy farms near Oamaru. As of last week, there were 35 infected properties quarantined under movement restrictions. The disease has spread to two properties in the North Island, one near Hastings, and one near Pahiatua. In the South Island, it has spread to Canterbury, 2, Ashburton, 7, North Otago, 10, Middlemarch, 2, and Southland including Winton, Lumsden,

Wairarapa Federated Farmers president Jamie Falloon said this latest detection was a concern for Wairarapa farmers. The unpredictable spread of the disease had heightened the uncertainty for the region’s farmers with the latest detection even closer to the region. “The fact we are still finding outbreaks months and months after the first outbreak is hugely concerning,” Mr Falloon said. With stock movement ahead of winter grazing would increase the risk of the disease spreading, he said. Mr Falloon expected the disease to appear in more places as it seemed to hide, and then just “pop-up”. He sympathised for the farmers involved and those on neighbouring properties, he said. The ministry’s director of response Geoff Gwyn said while this is the second North Island detection it should not be considered a major turning point in the response. “This Pahiatua detection is part of the large network of associated farms that we are finding,” he said. As well as the Pahiatua property, MPI also confirmed two further positive properties in Southland. Tararua Mayor and Eketahuna dairy

Invercargill and Gore, 12. In late March, the Ministry of Primary Industries (MPI) decided to cull all cattle on the 28 infected properties at the time. This was in order to control the spread of the disease and was expected to be completed by the end of this month. The disease spreads from animal to animal through close contact and bodily ﬂuids. However, the disease is mostly spread through the movement of cattle from farm to farm.

farmer Tracey Collis said her main concern was the well-being of Pahiatua farmers. “I’m sad for the sheep and beef farm involved, and the uncertainty this brings to their farm and the surrounding farms,” she said. The disease was new to the North Island which meant many locals would be wanting to understand more about what the disease meant for them, she said. “To ﬁnd that it’s in our district, that will be a shock,” she said. It was critical all farmers recorded stock movement which would reach its peak by the end of the month, she said. “From my understanding there will be no stock moved from that property,” she said. The disease detection was not just about the stock, but farmers too. “It will create a lot of angst in the community, so my message is talk to your neighbours about it, and to be informed.” Wairarapa MP Alastair Scott slammed the ministry’s lack of detail around the containment of recent outbreaks. “Farmers across the region need to know this type of information so that they can take proactive measures to protect their animals. “The MPI response to date has been feeble. It is not good enough,” he said.

Masterton’s Mayor Lyn Patterson has asked for a pause to have “a cup of tea” and talk about the recent freshwater proposals for the region released last week. There were a handful of criticisms from the floor, one surrounding the uncertain future of both Henley Lake and the Lake of Remembrance in Queen Elizabeth Park, and another questioning the data the whaitua had based its proposals on. The Ruamahanga Whaitua committee held it’s second of three public meetings after it released its freshwater management recommendations last Monday, with about 150 residents in attendance. The community-led catchment group is charged with overseeing freshwater and land resources for the Greater Wellington Regional Council (GWRC). Farmers and the town’s residents’ priorities were different, but at the core of it was how the committee came up with its recommendations. The Masterton district would be hit the worst by the recommendations that would also raise the minimum flow levels in the Upper Ruamahanga and Waipoua rivers. In turn, water would become scarce during the summer months. Friends of Queen Elizabeth Park chairperson Diana Abraham was first to voice her concerns during the allocated time for discussion of the lakes on the night. The water from the Waipoua River that flows through the Lake of Remembrance is “borrowed” rather than “taken” as it was returned to the river, she said. She asked if the lake could be treated as a “special case” to allow the flow to be maintained for the lake’s wildlife, trees and shrubs, and the water’s health. She told the whaitua and the residents how the group wanted improved water quality but the “possible loss of the lake due to a prolonged lack of inflow was overwhelming”. The group also questioned if the whaitua had considered the cultural values of the lake, and if it had criteria for assessing lakes under the proposals. Henley Lake Trust chair Tom Ward said if the lake did not have water flowing through it during the summer period, “it would turn into a disease infested cesspit”. “We need more water than what we get now . . . it’s going to turn the town into a laughing stock,” Mr Ward said. Mrs Patterson was last to speak but agreed with all the previous speakers’ comments. “We recognise the huge amount of work the whaitua has been doing. “I want to suggest that we do take a breather so that we can work together and if that takes a bit longer then it takes a bit longer. “Let’s have a cup of tea and take a bit more time.” Whaitua chair Peter Gawith responded to the community by saying that all members of the whaitua were locals and appreciated their concerns. “To have support and statements saying, “let’s get together and get it right” [was great].” In regards to the river’s water, Mr Gawith said all consent issues would need to be discussed with GWRC, not the whaitua. One question raised at the meeting was if the committee would “collect real information to make real decisions”. Whaitua member and farmer Aidan Bichan said the modelling was an “incomplete science”. But with the limited scientific data on the catchment’s streams and rivers available, the whaitua did not have another option to base their decisions on. The whaitua has requested the GWRC to collect and provide more data on the catchment’s waterways.

FOOTBALL GARY CAFFELL Relief rather than joy was probably the main feeling in the Wairarapa United camp after their 4-1 win over Miramar Rangers in the Central League men’s football match at Memorial Park, Masterton on Saturday. After suﬀering hefty defeats to teams they would normally be expected to be beat, Havelock North and Lower Hutt City, at their previous two league appearances Wairarapa United were desperate to avoid a hattrick of losses. And, to their credit, they did it in a manner which gives at least some hope of them battling their way back into title contention as the season progresses. Both teams adopted a positive approach which often saw the teams launching strong counter attacks deep inside their own territory and while the purists would have found the number of turnovers too high for this level of football they did mean that the small crowd was kept thoroughly entertained. The opening stanzas of the ﬁrst half were all Wairarapa United with a couple of prime scoring opportunities being

created without success in the opening five minutes but the more the half wore on the more Miramar Rangers came into the game, often testing the Wairarapa United defence with their pace on the flanks. However, the closest they came to scoring was when a shot rocketed off the posts and back into play. Wairarapa United, on the other, did have one goal to show for their own first half efforts, Paul Ifill providing the initial thrust before firing a cross which Seule Soromon headed into the back of the net. The second half saw Wairarapa United gain a clear edge in both territory and possession and while there were odd occasions when Miramar Rangers looked dangerous the end result which showed the home team scoring three goals to their opponent’s one was a fair reflection of the merits of the two sides over this period of play. The mercurial Ifill was clearly Wairarapa United’s player of the match. Watching him jink and jive his way past a bevy of defenders just about every time he touched the ball reminded one of his glory days with the Wellington Phoenix and mostly his crosses were inch perfect in their execution. Also making a decent impact for

Wairarapa United on attack was youngster Callan Elliot, who showed just why he is the reckoning for national age group selection. He used his pace to telling effect in several searching runs and demonstrated his fitness by getting through a power of work on defence as well. In midfield Wairarapa United was well served by the diminutive Noah Boyce whose willingness to get involved in one on one confrontation belied his stature while skipper Cameron Lindsay and Daniel Allan were both composed and disciplined at the back. They picked up a number of timely interceptions and Allan, especially, was solid in the air. For goalkeeper Morris this was his first appearance for Wairarapa United since returning from a United States tour with the New Zealand secondary schools squad and he was impressive both with his coolness under pressure and his accurate distribution of possession. In other CL matches played on Saturday Wellington United beat Wellington Olympic 4-0, Lower Hutt City beat Waterside-Karori 1-0 and Stop Out and Western Suburbs played out a scoreless draw.

Rathkeale brave in festival loss RUGBY The first leg of the Hurricanes first XV Festival of Rugby was played at Memorial Park on Saturday and it was Wellington College who perhaps made the biggest statement. Up against the normally powerful Palmerston North Boys High, Wellington College regularly turned their dominance in territory and possession into points on the board, winning by a comprehensive 57-20. Scots College and Gisborne Boy High had a much closer encounter with Scots taking the spoils 31-22 while St Pat’s Silversteam had the edge on Napier Boys, winning 40-22 With Hastings Boys High unable to play in the first leg in this competition which consists of the four top teams in the Wellington premier secondary schools grade last season along with four other highly-rated schools from the Hurricanes region their place was taken by the Rathkeale College first XV. And they put up a brave fight against St Pat’s Wellington before losing 33-17.

Rugby battle an all ages event RUGBY

CAL ROBERTS Wairarapa-based Millhillians Golden Oldies hosted rival rugby team Upper Hutt’s Yellow Bellies in a no reserves, some-holdsbarred match on the weekend. It was truly an all ages event, with players ranging from ankle-biter to antique. International rugby rules applied for the most part – with a few special additions. No pushing in the scrum, if you took the ball into a ruck you won it. Lastly, a coloured-shorts system was in place which denoted the age and ability of the more senior players. Red shorts were worn by players who were already injured or less likely to walk it off after taking a hit — meaning they could be “claimed,” but not tackled. Anyone wearing gold shorts would earn the envy of any professional athlete – as they were untouchable. Millhillian’s Russell Morgan was wearing the coveted item of clothing on Sunday afternoon. When he got the ball, he was given a wide berth for 10-15 metres before offloading it to another player. “We’ve never lost a match since 1983.” The game resulted in a draw – because no scores were kept at these matches.

Mr Morgan, 68, said instead, the focus was “the three F’s”. “Fun, frivolity, and friendship.” He said it was all about having fun, and there was nothing better than playing with the grandkids. “It gets you off the couch and gives us a reason to stay fit. “We’re nowhere near fighting-fit but if you’re not fit you don’t enjoy it, because on the Monday you can’t move.” Mr Morgan was the second oldest Millhillian player. “We have a player normally play for us who’s 82, but he hurt his leg down in our game in Christchurch. “Nobody wants to get smashed and crashed, but accidents do happen – it’s a contact sport you know.” The special games were 60 minutes long, divided into three “halves”. “By the last one we’re down to a walk,” Mr Morgan said. The weather was perfect for an afternoon game at Memorial Park, Masterton. Referee Dean Goodin explained the special rules one more time before kick-off, and reminded everyone of the spirit of the Golden Oldies games. “We want to be able to go to work tomorrow.” The only senior moment came when

Mr Morgan handed the ball to a young Wairarapa player, his grandson Jack Trass — the problem being he was playing for the opposition. After the match, Yellow Bellies player Dave Robati said the game was worth making the trip for. “We were short on numbers, so it was fun for the kids to get to have a run around.” Mr Robati, 57, had been playing with Upper Hutt’s team for a decade. Both teams came together in the end to eat, drink, and catch up in the park’s Marist Clubroom.

Wairarapa-Bush lose trophy in pre-season clash JAKE BELESKI The scoreline may not have reflected it, but there were plenty of positives for Wairarapa-Bush to build on after their 32-6 loss to Horowhenua-Kapiti in a preseason clash in Wellington on Saturday. The match for the PGG Wrightson Trophy was played as a curtain raiser to the Hurricanes match against the Lions, and in typical Wellington fashion a strong wind made playing conditions difficult for both teams. The final quarter was one-way traffic as Horowhenua-Kapiti — runners-up in last year’s Heartland Championship — finished the stronger of the two sides, but the first half provided a solid foundation for Wairarapa-Bush to work with moving forward. Horowhenua-Kapiti had the better of the opening exchanges, and first fiveeighth Leon Ellison crashed over from close range to open the scoring after five minutes. Wairarapa-Bush looked the team most likely to score throughout the rest of the first half, but errors at crucial times ensured they never managed to cross the line. Centre Nicholas Mason was a threat every time he touched the ball, but was also guilty of not passing to unmarked

supporting players on two occasions which would almost certainly have resulted in tries. Two penalties to winger Moo Moo Falaniko closed the gap to 7-6, but Wairarapa-Bush would have been disappointed to not capitalise on the

numerous chances created on attack. Wairarapa-Bush looked dangerous when they managed to put phases together, with captain Cyrus Baker and vice-captain Sam Gammie leading from the front and making several strong charges between them.

A penalty to Horowhenua-Kapiti on the stroke of halftime gave them a 10-6 lead heading into the break and was a testament to their tenacious defensive effort. Wairarapa-Bush would have been hoping for a solid start to the second half, but they got the opposite as HorowhenuaKapiti lock Ryan Shelford barged his way over in the 42nd minute to quickly extend their advantage to 17-6. The swirling breeze made it difficult for either team to use their kicking game as an attacking weapon and resulted in a long period of play in which neither team looked likely to score. The wheels fell off for WairarapaBush in the final quarter, however, as Horowhenua-Kapiti clicked into gear and ran in a further three tries to blow out the final score. Wairarapa-Bush showed plenty of enterprise on attack and looked solid in defence for the most part, but will need to make more of their opportunities if they are to compete with the top sides in the competition when the Heartland championship starts in August. Their next assignment will be another pre-season match against Hawke’s Bay on June 4.
