Relief, pride at signing

By Gerald Ford

Rangitane o Wairarapa lead negotiator Jason Kerehi has returned from Dannevirke relieved and challenged after the historic Crown apology and $32.5 million Treaty settlement signing on Saturday. More than 300 people gathered at Makirikiri Marae to see the signing of a Treaty of Waitangi Deed of Settlement with the Crown and Rangitane o Wairarapa and Rangitane o Tamaki nui-a-Rua. The day was attended by MPs, Crown oﬃcials and local government oﬃcials, as well as iwi members including kaumatua. The signing was part of a process

stretching back many years and Mr Kerehi said it was good so many kaumatua were able to attend. “So many people have died along the way,” Mr Kerehi said. “From the time we were mandated to negotiate it’s been ﬁve-and-a-half years,” he said. “But it’s not about speed.” Minister for Treaty Negotiations Chris Finlayson read an apology and signed the deed of settlement on behalf of the Crown. “It was really for me a day of mixed emotions,” Mr Kerehi said. “I mean I was excited. It was such an important milestone.

“But as we got into the day and came to the apology, it really dawned on you that it was a moment in time. “We invited everyone to sign, and the feeling in the room just lifted. “It was relief, it was a celebration, it was a moment of pride… what a day.” The settlement sees the return of eight culturally signiﬁcant sites to the iwi, including Matua Pa, which is the site of the former Lansdowne School, and another school site in Dannevirke. There are other sites, including Wairarapa Moana (Lake Wairarapa and its surrounds) and Castlepoint, which have been part of joint negotiations with

Kahunguni ki Wairarapa – which also has its own negotiations with the Crown. “There’s a big job to do from now on,” Mr Kerehi said. Decisions would need to be made about what to do with the property returned to the iwi, which included ﬁnancial considerations – “they can’t make a loss” Mr Kerehi said, further investment and other considerations. “For example if they can provide other things like jobs or services that people need.” “The work now is moving into strategic.”

Apology a manabuilding moment Ford Every Stream

Gerald Ford It’s difficult as a Pakeha to feel qualified to comment on the historic signing of the Treaty of Waitangi Deed of Settlement with the Crown signed by Rangitane o Wairarapa and Rangitane o Tamaki nui-a-Rua on Saturday. But the signing is of some significance and I am of the view that what is good for Maori is good for the whole community. The $32.5 million includes sites of cultural significance and some of potential commercial value, such as the former Lansdowne School site in Masterton, and there is the option to purchase parts of Ngaumu forest. As the Crown apology was read, some wept. Rangitane iwi leader Manahi Paewai of Dannevirke said Rangitane was “wiped from the tribal landscape of Aotearoa and by the 1900s we were virtually landless and the worst of implication of that early injustive was that many or our own still don’t know, or believe, they are Rangitane”. This is the essence of cultural dislocation — a generational loss of identity. The very nature of culture is quite difficult to understand for your average pakeha New Zealander, if such a creature exists. I remember a speaker once describing it as trying to explain to a fish what “wet” is. The point is we don’t understand our own culture because we live in it.

New Zealand culture outside of Maoridom has always been difficult to define because it is so young. It is both connected to the lands from which we came across the sea, and disconnected from it. We don’t even have our own word for ourselves — Pakeha is borrowed, but it fills a linguistic gap. Seeing Maori as a strong people with a culture of their own, independent of ours, challenges us. I don’t know why that is, but it is. If I had a dollar for every time I heard the phrase “We are all New Zealanders” — in a defensive, half-offended tone, I am sure I would be a rich man — or at least be able buy myself a nice restaurant meal. Mr Paewai, in a story written by Christine McKay of Dannevirke News, reprinted in the Wairarapa Times-Age, described the Crown apology as “mana-enhancing”. It is interesting that the financial value of the settlement, surely a drop in the bucket to what was lost, paled in emotional significance to the simple acknowledgement to the Rangitane iwi that yes, you are a people, and yes, you were wronged. I will not let my own cultural dislocation make me begrudge a significant cultural milestone for my neighbours. Who knows — perhaps if we Pakeha better embraced and attempted to understand the Treaty of Waitangi, we might gain a stronger sense of our own identity and place in this land.

College students plan careers at open day Wairarapa’s third Future Me Careers Conference was held on Friday for Year 11 - 13 students at Ucol in Masterton. The conference offered more than 200 students an opportunity to develop a direction for their future career paths and better understand the impact of their educational choices. Organised by the careers and transition teachers of Wairarapa, it was hands-on and aimed at helping students understand what local employment opportunities exist, what employers are looking for in a new employee, and about workplace training options and relevant school and other courses. More than 200 students attended from all the local colleges; Tararua College, Wharekura o Wairarapa, Wairarapa Teen Parent Unit, Makoura College, Chanel College, Solway College, Rathkeale College, St Matthew’s Collegiate, Wairarapa College, Kuranui College and Ponatahi Christian School. Organisers wanted local employers and employees to run interactive hands on workshops with students. The workshops were aimed at helping students understand more about the workplace, and the realities of working in

different industries. The conference was well supported by local employers with some of their younger employees passing on firsthand their experiences of moving from school to employment, including their apprenticeship and on the job training details. Employers supporting were Breadcraft (Wai) Ltd, Tranzit Coachlines Ltd, Wairarapa DHB, Farman Turkington Forestry, Masterton Fire Station, Mitre 10 MEGA, Pohutukawa Early Learning Centre, Gibson Sheat Lawyers, Moore Stephens Markhams Accountants, Whaiora, Masterton District Council, McDonalds, Wairarapa Police, Destination Wairarapa, Copthorne Hotel and Resort Solway Park and the NZ Defence Force. Tertiary providers including Ucol and Taratahi also hosted seminars. The conference included a keynote address from Tom Hullena, chairman of the Youth in Education Training and Employment Network with the Ministry of Education. There were also two employers’ panels to take questions from the students. See photos Pages 20-21.

Iwi reps come to council Iwi representatives of Ra Smith of Kahungunu ki Wairarapa and Mihirangi Hollings of Rangitane took their place at the Masterton District Council for the first time last Wednesday. Mr Smith has a BA in English and a Diploma in teaching and represents iwi in several ways including the river catchment (Whaitua) committee of Wellington Regional Council, as well as being environment manager for Kahungunu ki Wairarapa, chairman of the Hurunuio-Rangi Marae board of trustees and chairman of directors for health body Te Hauora Runanga o Wairarapa. Ms Hollings has mostly worked in central government, including eight years

as a senior adviser for the Ministry of Education. Her volunteer work includes trusteeships on the Wairarapa Moana board and on the Te-Kura-a-Rangi Trust. The meeting included a karakia led by Mike Kawana that dates back to the time of the first meeting of Masterton’s founders Retimana Te Korou and Joseph Masters. Other speakers were Kahungunu ki Wairarapa chief executive PJ Devonshire and Rangitane chairwoman Tina Te TauBrightwell, who said both iwi are excited to have the two appointments confirmed. “We are very confident Mihirangi and Ra join the council with a great sense of passion and drive to a high standard.”

School visits samoa

Chanel College students visited Samoa on a cultural exchange last month, leaving on the final two days of term and returning on Friday, July 15, in the middle of school holidays. The trip was led Olivia Geange, teacher in charge of the school’s cultural group. Principal Grant Miles praised the work of students, staff and their families who “put a lot of time and effort into fundraising to make the trip affordable for as many students as possible”. “The opportunity for the students to gain an appreciation of Samoan culture firsthand through visiting schools, visiting local tourist spots and attending Mass in Samoan all contributed to a wonderful experience,” Mr Miles said. “We were privileged to be hosted by and share lunch with the family of Melnissa Fauinui and Levonia Afele which was a unique and very special time.” The trip saw the beginning of a cultural exchange between Safata

College and Chanel College, with a visit from staff of St Joseph’s College. These connections will help “the development of an on-going relationship with each of them as part of our College Social Justice programme”, Mr Miles said. Assistant principal Myra Coley said the visit was an example in action of the school’s focus for the year: “living our values every day”. “When we visited Samoa and met not only a people, but a culture and a country who truly do live their values every day,” Mrs Coley said. “Everywhere we went and in everyone we met, we saw clearly the evidence of a people whose values are steeped in tradition, family and faith. Values of hospitality, simplicity, hard work, education and joy.” Schools stopped everything at a moment’s notice to welcome the visitors into their classroom, Mrs Coley said.

was “Angela’s beautiful Aunty Pele who on the last day of our trip, arrived to present us with traditional Samoa outfits, custom made for the staff to wear on our flights home, simply as a thank you for taking the students to Samoa”. Another privilege was visiting the “village and home of Vania and her family who prepared a feast for all 26 of us and welcomed as the very first guests into their newly built, yet to be completed fale”. “In meeting these beautiful people, we came to understand our Samoan students more than ever before,” Mrs Coley said. “During our time in Samoa we also swam with the turtles, attend a jazz concert, visited the markets, travelled to the region which was devastated in the 2009 tsunami, swam in the Sua Ocean trench, had lunch in a resort, experienced an inter-island ferry, plus many other experiences for which we and our students are all the richer.”

People who have moved house since the last election have until Friday to enrol at their new address, according to the electoral commission. Every year tens of thousands of New Zealanders move house, and thousands get removed from the electoral roll because they have forgotten to enrol at their new address, chief electoral officer Robert Peden said. “If electoral mail gets returned to us and we don’t have a new address for you, we have no choice but to remove you from the electoral roll. It’s really important that you update your details every time you move house,” Mr Peden said. “Otherwise we can’t send you important electoral information

such as voting papers.” Voting papers for the local elections will be posted to enrolled voters in September, and can only be sent out to those who are enrolled by August 12. “If you’ve moved house, or had any other changes to your details, you need to update your details now,” Mr Peden said. Those enrolling after August 12 will need to cast a special vote, and will need to contact their local council for voting papers. People can check their enrolment details online or by calling 0800 36 76 56, Mr Peden said. “And if you’re not enrolled, you can start the process right then and there. It’s easy.”

Bike in Schools track at Lakeview

Signature Range Mild/Colby/Edam Cheese 1kg

PHOTO/FILE

As I have been progressively visiting schools within my role at Wairarapa Road Safety Council promoting safe travel to and from school, I have had quite a few enquiries regarding interest in Bikes in Schools and building cycle tracks in the school grounds. You may have been following the incredible journey that Lakeview School went through to achieve the first Bikes in Schools track here in Wairarapa, and if you were at the opening, you would have realised the great amount of community

support that was required to achieve the goal. So, the idea is to gather as many interested people in the same room and talk about how a dream (not just for us, but a dream for our children and future children) can become a reality and a legacy. We have some great presentations from Gene Bartlett (Deputy Principal, Lakeview School) who will be speaking of his recent experiences and Paul McArdle (Bike on Charitable Trust) is going to help give us more background to Bikes in Schools and will also answer those tough questions so we can work together to get on track. Interested parties are invited to a presentation on Monday, August 15 from 3.30pm-5pm at Lakeview School. The Bikes in Schools Programme website is bikeon.org.nz. In 1990, New Zealand primary school children were biking an average of 28 minutes per week. Today it is less than 5 minutes per week – with many children not getting to ride a bike at all. We believe the best and most costeffective way to reverse this is by helping schools implement a Bikes in Schools package of bikes, helmets, tracks, bike storage and cycle skills training, all within the school.

Regarding Soapbox, Midweek August 3: Well writ Mike Osborne. There is a marketing term related to feelings of ‘Whism’’: “Cognitive dissidence”, meaning buyer’s remorse. Relating to Pakeha reactions to Te Reo place names is a bit difficult. How about “Kehaism” as an emotional onion? Perry Cameron Featherston

Wairarapa Midweek

Garden Talk en Barn Prevention is better than a cure Each year around October and November, we at GardenBarn have many customers worried about their ailing fruit trees covered with curly leaf. Unfortunately, at this stage, it is a bit late to be attempting to solve the problem. Action needs to take place now, in August, to prevent infections becoming established. We have already talked about the benefits of lime sulphur, but there are another two safe sprays that should be applied soon, on a sunny day, to save a lot of problems later in the season. If a spray programme is applied now, it will reward you with a healthier and more abundant crop of fruit. Bud burst occurs this month on stone fruit trees including peaches, nectarines, plums, apricots and cherries. “What’s so significant about that?” you might ask. Well, bud burst is the start of a brand new growing season and it’s right now that many important growth developments begin to take place. I for one consider bud burst on deciduous trees to be the end of winter dormancy and the beginning of spring. Yes, even though cold conditions may well be as sever now as they have during the earlier winter months, days are slowly getting longer and there will soon be a little more heat in the sun’s rays. The significance of this renewed activity is twofold. Firstly, bud burst indicates that young embryo leaves are unfolding and emerging from within tightly packed buds. Inside each resting bud there are found compressed leaves or flowers developed six or eight months ago during the last growing season. As new spring growth emerges disease infections can become

established which may cause all sorts of problems later on. So this month is an important time to get cracking. Timing is everything. Even days count when it comes to getting those early season disease control sprays on at the correct stage. Sprays need to be applied before young leaves and flowers develop, as copper sprays can be photo-toxic on emerged leaves. That is, they will burn or disfigure advanced growth if applied too late. Curly leaf, the disease causing leaf fungus which distorts leaves and young growth on peaches and nectarines and its close cousin, bladder plum, which attacks plum fruits is most effectively controlled now – and not later when control measure will be ineffective. Any copper sprays will do; they are all effective against curly leaf, providing they are thoroughly applied. Grosafe FreeFlo Copper, a certified organic copper spray, is an excellent choice to use. All buds which are all potential infection sites need to be covered by spray deposits. Another even greater benefit to be gained from applying an early spring copper spray on stone fruit is the inhibiting effect they will have on bacteria canker infections. These diseases have much more serious consequences for tree health than the diseases already mentioned. They can destroy limbs or trees rapidly once established. Infections are typified as large jelly-like globs emerging from lesions or wounds on limbs. Under cool, moist conditions which occur in spring, bacterial infections spread rapidly if left unchecked. The copper sprays mentioned are the only effective weapon a gardener has

Some varieties Stunning year round, have limited with bright red stems numbers, so get through winter in quick to avoid disappointment! available to prevent infections developing. So making the effort this month to apply copper sprays can have even greater beneficial side effects than just controlling curly leaf or bladder plum – especially on young uninfected trees where bacterial infections have not yet become established. On your trees, pests such as scale, mealy bug, or spider mite may or may not have been a problem previously. Their presence is not as predictable as the diseases mentioned above and only where there has been a previous history of infestation will pest control sprays be necessary. Use an emulsifiable oil spray, such as Grosafe EnSpray 99, which is a certified organic spray. Combined with Grosafe FreeFlo Copper, you will effectively clean up any overwintering pest and diseases lurking around. You may have heard that combining spraying oil with copper spray reduces the effectiveness of the copper, resulting in wasting your money and time. However, the real benefit of using the Grosafe brand of copper spray (FreeFlo Copper) and spraying oil (EnSpray 99) is that, unlike other brands, the two can be combined without any reduction in the effectiveness of the copper. Ultimately, killing two birds with one stone.

CARTERTON

Wednesday, August 10, 2016

Latch on catches on with 113 On Friday 113 women breast-fed their babies simultaneously at the local Big Latch On, held at Carterton Events Centre, successfully breaking last year’s record of 90 latches. Mums, babies and their families came out from across the region to celebrate and promote breastfeeding in the Wairarapa community. Every year, this event is celebrated internationally and aims to normalise breastfeeding as the best and healthiest option for mothers and babies. Locally, Breastfeeding Wairarapa organise the event which is a partnership between Regional Public Health – Wairarapa, the Wairarapa DHB Maternity Services, Whaiora, Plunket, Parents Centre, La Leche League and a Lead Maternity Carer (LMC). This group also coordinates the community breastfeeding service Breast Friends that provides local mums with mum-to-mum peer counselling support. Coordinator for Breastfeeding Wairarapa Clare McLennan-Kissel said she was thrilled with the community support that the event had. “Every year the community amazes me with their generosity. We are able to acknowledge the awesome effort our local mums put in by being able to give spot prizes, goody bags and provide morning tea. It has been an incredible event today, and we are so excited to have broken the record yet again!” The Big Latch-on was supported by the following sponsors: Carterton Events Centre, Wairarapa A&P Society - Clareville Showgrounds, Hall New Zealand, Greytown Pharmacy, Porse, Lang’s Pharmacy Featherston,

ARE YOU PREPARED IN AN EMERGENCY?

In an emergency, communities will need to be able to look after themselves’ as the Emergency Services will be stretched dealing with responding to critical needs. One way in which you can help yourself is to be a part of your local Neighbourhood Support network. Carterton Neighbourhood Support Coordinator Sue Tennant is currently looking to ensure all our communities are part of the network – if you are interested in being part of this, please contact her on 0279386998.

HAVE YOUR SAY and tell us what you think. go to our website: cdc.govt.nz, email us on info@cdc.govt.nz or send us your thoughts by mail to: Carterton District Council PO Box 9 | Carterton

THINKING OF BUILDING OR RENOVATING? Whether building or renovating, some of your first thoughts should be around whether or not you need approval for your planned work. Finding out early in the planning stage if you need to take into account any conditions or code requirements that may affect what you can do may save a lot of time and money in the long run. All building work requires a building consent unless it has been exempt from the need for one and Parliament has decided what these are. The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment have put together a detailed booklet that explains what you can do without the need for a building consent. You can find a copy of that document here: https://www.building.govt.nz/assets/ Uploads/projects-and-consents/buildingwork-consent-not-required-guidance.pdf It’s also important to bear in mind that you may also require resource consent depending upon the activity you want to undertake on the land. By looking at the district plan you will be able to find out if you need to get resource consent for the activity you want to do. You can find a copy of the district plan here on our website http://www.mstn.govt.nz/planning/ combinedplan/index.php If you have any questions then contact us here at the council and ask!

It’s getting to that time of year when the Daffodil bulbs are sprouting and soon we will see them in full abundance just in time for the annual Carterton Daffodil Festival on Sunday 11th September. In the past many people from the local community enjoy the market like atmosphere in town and then drive the 10 minutes out to Middlerun Farm in Gladstone. However, this year festival organisers are encouraging daffodil enthusiasts to leave their car in town and travel with ease on the Daffodil Bus. Car parking at Middlerun will be extremely limited, as vehicles will not be able to park along the narrow roadside. Extra buses will be provided and the festival will still be as wonderful as ever, organisers are asking the public to understand that they have had to follow necessary safety precautions so that Carterton can continue to host this popular festival for many years to come. For more information about the Carterton Daffodil Festival please visit www.cdc.govt. nz/daffodil_carnival or like our Carterton Daffodil Festival Facebook Page.

Parks are places where you would expect to ďŹ nd people enjoying all kinds of activities. Like children playing on the playground, or adults going out for a walk. But the outdoors is not a place where you would expect to ďŹ nd someone playing a video game. PokĂŠmon Go has changed that perception. What sets PokĂŠmon Go apart from other games is that players have to get oďŹ&#x20AC; the couch to play. To play, players use a mobile deviceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s GPS to locate and capture PokĂŠmon who appear on the screen as if they were in the same real-world location as the player. There are downsides to the game. Over-zealous PokĂŠmon hunters have been spraining ankles, walking into traďŹ&#x192;c and been nuisances to the public. On the other hand, the game has allowed strangers to connect with each other, improved mental health and allowed people to get exercise and explore their environments. Most video games are solitary activities. Gamers sit alone in their bedrooms to play their games. PokĂŠmon Go forces players to get outside. Many players have taken to social media to talk about the beneďŹ ts the game has had on their mental health. For those struggling to get motivated PokĂŠmon go could be the push they need to get out of the house. Getting into the fresh air and sunlight is beneďŹ cial for both mental and physical health. The game does a great job at

encouraging socialisation. Progressing in the game is easier when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in a group. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diďŹ&#x192;cult for players to take over PokĂŠmon gyms when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re by themselves. Catching PokĂŠmon is also easier when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re with others as you can spread out and cover a greater area. The necessity to form these alliances is encouraged by the healthy competition between the three PokĂŠmon teams. The game also acts as grounds to make new friends as players have a common interest. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy for strangers to form new friendships and alliances with each other. The PokĂŠmon craze is beginning to die out. The number of active PokĂŠmon players reached its peak only a week after the release of the game and has since been on the decrease. But the game is still popular and there are many exciting new features coming to the app in the near future which may reignite its popularity.

Plenty of drama to share It’s Only Me

Graeme Burnard

Amateur dramatics have been a big part of the Wairarapa community for decades. MATS began in 1909, Greytown Little Theatre was formed in 1921, Carterton Little Theatre (now Limelight) has had numerous stops and starts and name changes since forming in 1948 and Harlequin Theatre opened in 1961 by a group that had been performing in Masterton since the 1930’s. And there is also Pahiatua Rep, Madcaps in Martinborough and the various annual secondary school productions. In days of yore, these theatres companies provided the main entertainment in their towns. Productions were major events and a big night out for patrons. Auditions were fearful things (and still can be) and to get a part in a play or musical production was a big deal. When I joined Harlequin Theatre in 1991, it was nothing to get 20 or 30 people turn up to audition for a six-part play. With more productions put on more often now by more theatres, actors have much more choice. It is not uncommon for plays not to be cast because auditions have failed. I recall going to a MATS pre audition evening a couple of years ago for Pirates of Penzance. Sadly they were unable

to cast it. 10 years ago they would have turned people away. And now with Harlequin branching out into musicals (or plays with songs as they like to call them) it is even harder to cast a musical because there simply aren’t the people available. A few years ago, all the presidents got together (I was Harlequin’s at the time) to try to work out a calendar so we didn’t clash with dates and to set up a local actors’ register. Toi Wairarapa offered to set the ball rolling but nothing came of it. Others have attempted since then, but not all the theatres were interested which would not have worked. There seems little communication between the theatres at all. If there had been, I doubt we would have seen three Shakespeare productions this

year - Greytown Little Theatre, Harlequin and Rathkeale College. And if you are wanting to go to an end of year show or organise an end-of-year function this year, you have a choice of a musical or a musical. Not long ago you could go to MATS for a great meal and musical show and the next week go to Harlequin for a sidesplitting comedy. At Harlequin’s Are You Being Served, ten performances sold out a week before they opened. Oh those were the days. Could I challenge someone to do a season of Blackadder for Christmas 2017? You would make enough money to set you up for life and maybe give your cast a bonus. Just a thought!

Nature bashing is a television standard Ecotopia Alan Fielding Recent anti-social behaviour by local yokels on motorbikes and motor scooters in our parks is not really surprising when you look at the nature-bashing encouragement given them by both programmes and adverts on TV. If only television had some real standards – and of course actually enforced them. Instead, they rely on the viewers to complain. No complaint, no action. They’ll tell you that they have standards of course - perhaps too minimal to be noticed? If they had some environmental or social conscience, TV wouldn’t allow and therefore encourage copycat behaviour of vehicles ploughing through areas of natural beauty

in adverts. Is it time for a TV environmental declaration? We are led to believe one moment that TV is proud of the New Zealand landscape and features it accordingly. The next moment we have a programme and adverts suggesting that real men get out and bash the landscape. The pioneering attitude isn’t dead yet! The advertisers are obviously desperate to impress - mainly immature males with access to money and a fragile ego. Surely if the product was truly superior and good value, the seller wouldn’t have to lower it to such enviro-grovelling levels. It is interesting to note which brands advertise the most and which also lower their manufacturing standards. That tells you a lot. It is little wonder that the young and the restless race off around public green spaces in an attempt to emulate the plonkers of the TV screens. Can we really blame them?

FEATHERSTON TOWN SQUARE

The Featherston Town Square project continues to develop as these photos by Wairarapa Aerial Imaging Ltd show. In July the construction of the stone wall end plinths and planter boxes continued, inserts for step louvre lights were installed as well as in the planter boxes. Exposed aggregate concrete surfacing started on the east side of the amphitheatre. Unfortunately this piece of work was delayed because of wet weather, high winds and low temperatures – which makes laying concrete unfeasible.

WAIHINGA CENTRE UPDATE

Upcoming work on the Featherston Town Square will be the completion of the amphitheatre stone walls, end pillars and planter boxes. The granite set cobble for steps and inside the amphitheatre will be finished, the east pergola columns will be erected and contractors will start on the east boardwalk deck construction. Wet weather has delayed some of the construction, but we are working closely with the contractor to make up as much time as possible.

UKELELES AND VIOLETS BRING OUT THE SUNSHINE AT ARBOR HOUSE Arbor House has taken advantage of some of the sunny days over the past month to get out for some picnic afternoon teas and scenic van rides. A great trip out to Western Lake was new territory for most of us, and also Henley Lake which is always a favourite on a good day. We enjoyed a lovely visit from the Featherston Ukulele Club, playing some oldies we could all sing along to. We have planted violets and polyanthus in the garden that were kindly sent to us from one of our resident’s sons who owns a wholesale nursery up north. These should be starting to look pretty in a few weeks’ time in what is otherwise a pretty drab time in the garden.

GREYTOWN BUTCHERY MEATS NOW AVAILABLE AT SOLWAY FOUR SQUARE

MINI EXCAVATOR IDEAL FOR HARD TO GET TO PLACES

If you live in Masterton you can now purchase a varied range of Greytown Butchery’s products at Solway Four Square.

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.

This is a great way to buy Greytown Butchery’s award winning sausages as well as other meats such as steak, mince and chops without travelling all the way to Greytown. If there is anything you would like to buy that isn’t stocked in the superette, let the staff know and Greytown Butchery will include it in their weekly delivery. Greytown Butchery also supplies meats to Eketahuna Four Square and Pirinoa Country Store.

GREYTOWN FOOTBALL ENJOYS A SUCCESSFUL SEASON Greytown Football Club has enjoyed a very successful season. Crighton ITM is one of the two main sponsors for the club along with FreshChoice Greytown. FreshChoice Greytown is in contention to win the championship cup section with one game to go. Crighton ITM Greytown is top of the table in the Champion League Plate which is the second tier of the same competition. The Greytown Spartans placed in the middle of their competition. Crighton ITM had three of its staff playing for the club, manager Chris James and Shane Appelman and Clayton Harding. Chris, who is a striker for his team, believes supporting Greytown sports is a positive way to encourage personal connections in the community. “When we serve people we don’t just know them as customers but as people we play football with them or parents at the same school as our children.”

LINGERIE LINES EVOLVING TO MATCH WHAT’S HOT THIS COMING SUMMER Exciting new colours are coming into Shalari already for this spring and summer. What’s more, the structure of the lingerie is evolving in harmony with the latest fashion trends. As tastes change, fabric technology is changing so lingerie can continue to provide a high level of support, at the same time as creating the sorts of body shapes that are in vogue, owner Tina Dunlop says. One of the results of this is that some of the new lingerie has a softer feel, which some women prefer, while maintaining its strength to support the body.

Eye surgeries speeded up

A WARM WELCOME AWAITS

OUT & ABOUT IN

GREYTOWN

Ultimate Care Greytown is situated on a quiet road, close to all the local amenities. It’s a small facility that really is a huge part of the community with lots of activities and integration with the locals. Even the community medical centre is located next door. Our rest home and hospital provides specialist aged care and nothing is too much trouble for our staff when looking after our residents. With a homely feel, the facility provides access to a registered nurse 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, along with an excellent activities programme and lovely meals. If you’d like to experience our industry-leading care at first-hand, Contact facility manager Wilhelmina Mentz for a visit on 06 304 8041.

The Selina Sutherland Hospital Trust has donated $17,000 worth of new equipment to Wairarapa Hospital to enable patients to have eye surgeries more quickly. Now the ophthalmologists can perform up to three more surgeries per day, because the new equipment set enables less downtime in waiting for a set to be sterilized between operations. “There is a growing demand for eye surgery, and this donation has benefited both public patients and those operated on in the Selina Sutherland Hospital, a private wing attached to Wairarapa Hospital,” says Wairarapa Hospital Manager Jill Stringer. “Having a cataract operation can improve a person’s quality of life instantly. It can be life changing for older people and increase their independence. We are very grateful for the donation of this equipment, which is of real and immediate benefit to Wairarapa people.” “When our patients told us our surgery was too expensive and travelling over the hill to Wellington was costly and time consuming, we worked with the DHB to come up with a solution to meet the needs of our patients and our rural community,” Selina Sutherland business manager Cate Tyrer said. “The extra set means we make more efficient use of theatre time, so we have

been able to reduce the cost of each surgery at Selina Sutherland Hospital. This has made it a more affordable option for people who want to use Selina Sutherland Hospital.” As a non-profit Charitable Trust, Selina Sutherland Hospital was founded on a symbiotic relationship with Wairarapa Hospital and is happy to help with the donation of equipment from time to time. “It’s part of our private/public partnership. Visiting eye specialists work in Selina as well as Wairarapa Hospital.” Eye surgeons visit Selina Sutherland Hospital once a week and provide all pre and post op care there, keeping the whole process local from start to finish. Masterton patient Nancy Buckley, who has had one cataract operation says it has been “absolutely marvellous” to be able to see without her glasses. “Everything is so much clearer, and I can see the rugby scores now!” With no family in New Zealand, “the convenience of not having to go to Wellington means a lot to me”, Mrs Buckley said. “It’s much easier to have it done here in the Wairarapa, where everyone is so friendly, and it’s easy for my neighbour to bring me.”

A former contract milker has been banned from working in the dairy industry for 12 months for ramming a dairy cow with a quad bike, causing it severe pain and distress. Fifty-six-year-old Christopher Mark Bennett was working on a farm in Raglan when the abuse occurred. Bennett had been rounding up stock when he saw fit to ram a difficult cow that was in full milk, with his quad bike at least twice.The Ministry for Primary Industries began an investigation after witnesses, who were horse-riding on the farm, reported the incident. MPI Investigations Manager, Simon Anderson, says offending of this nature is unacceptable.“The Animal Welfare Act exists to protect animals from this sort of abuse,” he said. “There is never an excuse for illtreatment of animals. MPI takes any reports of abuse very seriously. If we find evidence that warrants charges being laid, we will prosecute.”Bennett was convicted and sentenced to 125-hours community work and disqualified from working in the dairy industry for 12 months.

Wairarapa organizations are encouraged to register now for Keep New Zealand Beautiful’s annual clean up week. In September each year this is the biggest national clean up initiative to take place on the calendar in New Zealand. Last year over the one-week period more than 610 events happened last year at every type of place imaginable - including beaches, streams, rivers, waterways, parks, recreation areas, highways and town centres. Heather Saunderson, chief executive of Keep NZ Beautiful, said that last year more than 43,000 passionate volunteers from more than 100 different areas across the country did their bit to keep their local community beautiful. “As the leading anti-litter organisation in New Zealand Keep NZ Beautiful are driven to continue to grow this event even further this year.”Clean-up events can be registered to happen in any corner of New Zealand at any time between September 12 and September 18. Keep New Zealand Beautiful will arrange to send materials including rubbish and recycling bags, gloves, health and safety guidelines and volunteer registration forms. Primary schools are encouraged to download the free “Tidy Kiwi” story and lesson plan that Keep NZ Beautiful has developed and to teach students about the impact litter has on the environment. Students are then encouraged to take part in a clean-up of their school or local area with their classroom. Tidy Kiwi stickers and participation certificates are available to send out to the first registered schools taking part.

Care for your fruit trees this August

COMMUNITY EVENTS THURSDAY, AUGUST 11

As we head into the last month of winter you can almost hear the frenzy of leaf and flower buds preparing to burst forth! August is a great opportunity to prepare for a fantastic spring, so it’s time to get out into the garden everyone. Enjoy!

WINTER SPRAY TO PREVENT LEAF CURL

Leaf curl is a common disease on stone fruit trees like peaches, nectarines and plums which causes new leaves to permanently discolour and deform. The result is a less than attractive tree and in severe cases it reduces the tree’s ability to photosynthesise, which in turn can affect plant health and fruit yield. Leaf curl needs to be prevented by killing the disease spores before they infect the newly emerging foliage in late winter and early spring, as the damage done by leaf curl is irreversible. It’s easy to break the leaf curl disease cycle by spraying stone fruit trees during winter with Yates® Liquid Copper Fungicide. Yates Liquid Copper will also control the disease shot hole which hides on fruit tree stems during winter. Spray all stems and the trunk thoroughly before new foliage emerges. This will help give fruit trees a disease free start to spring so they can concentrate on giving you a fantastic harvest.

Leaf curl is common on stone fruit trees.

LAST CHANCE TO PLANT A BARE ROOTED FRUIT TREE

Leafless bare rooted fruit trees are still available in August but there’s no time to waste! Get them into the ground now so they’ll be ready for their spring growth flush. Correct soil preparation when planting a new fruit tree is key to their success. It’s like starting a new house with the proper foundations. Improving soil for fruit trees is as easy as mixing some Yates® Dynamic Lifter® Organic Plant Food into the bottom of the planting hole. The rich organic matter in Yates Dynamic Lifter will help retain moisture around the roots of the fruit tree as well as providing some organic slow release nutrients to the tree as it sends out its first new roots.

from Vet Services Wairarapa

WHAT SHALL I DO ABOUT MY SKINNY HORSE? needed. Horses predominantly need high fibre food, so an ad lib source of good grass / hay or haylage is a great place to start. Make sure bullying is not stopping some horses from eating enough. In a herd situation, sometimes leaving a large bale in the paddock might be more effective as there is access to food 24 / 7.

This year, more than others, we’ve been dealing with more underweight animals than usual. There are some common problems and basic guidelines that can be helpful for getting your equine in a good order. Firstly, identifying when they are losing weight early helps you to change their management before it becomes much harder. You need to take rugs off, or actually feel ribs of furry ones – you can’t tell small amounts of weight loss from across a field.

Hard feed, such as oats, pony nuts etc are a great addition if ad lib fibre is not enough. There’s a wide range of options available depending on the age or requirements of your horse. Don’t forget to check the basics health care too. Horses need their teeth checking yearly and they need a good worming program based on faecal egg counts. Your vet can help you decide an appropriate one for your situation. If all the above basics are covered, then it might be time to investigate if there is something amiss medically – your vet will be happy to help.

The number one reason for weight loss is not enough food in comparison to amount

GIANT INFLATABLE OBSTACLE COURSE HAVE YOU EVER SEEN ANYTHING THAT IS THIS MUCH FUN AND IS AVAILABLE TO THE WAIRARAPA COMMUNITY ABSOLUTELY FREE....?? WBS is the proud owner of this fantastic fun inflatable obstacle course. It’s not to be confused with a bouncy castle or a gigantic slide! It’s an obstacle course, suitable for kids of all ages. It is operated by a huge blower and when we say it’s big – it’s really big at 18 metres long, 3 metres wide, and 4.2 metres high at its highest point. This is not for use at your child’s birthday party as we do not want to take revenue from any of the local hire companies who rent out their bouncy castles for parties – rather it is for use in the wider community. Your club or group may wish to use it for a function for kids such as an end of season sports wrap up, a fundraiser for an activity or simply as entertainment at an event.

The inflatable is stored on a trailer with the blower and safety equipment etc. (as well as instructions!) that you will need and you simply meet us at the storage unit with a car that has a towbar. The inflatable is simple to erect and use – you will need 2 adults to supervise kids getting both on and off, however getting the inflatable rolled up is a bit trickier so ideally 4 adults means it will go smoothly. The trailer has a hoist unit on it to make it easy to get it on and off. Be aware that it’s use is weather dependent as it is only to be used on grass, with the odd exception. It is unable to be used in strong winds or in rain. Having said that it is also a huge amount of fun when conditions are right!

If you would like more information or to check if your intended date is free to book the inflatable please contact WBS Marketing Manager – Vicki Bayliss on ph 3700070 or at vicki.bayliss@wbs.net.nz
