Region ‘needs new builders’ BY GERALD FORD The building industry in Wairarapa and nationwide is crying out for new apprentices, according to a regional training adviser. “There are so many builders looking for apprentices at the moment,” Peter van der Veen of the Building and Construction Industry Training Organisation (BCITO) said last week. “We need young people straight out of college. We don’t want them doing any pre-courses, they can learn as they earn.” New Zealand, according to Mr van der Veen “needs 3000 builders yesterday. People are looking for apprentices and they just can’t get any”. After speaking with Midweek, Mr van der Veen was heading to Wairarapa College to lead a maths class – focussing on topics useful to the building industry including trigonometry or the science of angles. “It’s just to show them that the maths they are using now has use in the real world.” Mr van der Veen acknowledged that many students don’t know what they want to do with their future, but suggests, “if you plant the seed …”. On Wednesday last week Mr van der Veen presented a certificate to newly qualified builder Hendrik Paans, who has been apprenticed to Wairarapa business Tunnicliffe Builders Ltd. “Now he has met the minimum qualification standard, he can go out and get the experience,

and become a great builder, and maybe take on apprentices himself,” Mr van der Veen said. Mr Paans is a former student of Ponatahi Christian School who actually completed a Bachelor of Horticulture at Massey University before scanning around for work and deciding on a change of direction.

“I didn’t have work at the time and he (boss Blair Tunnicliﬀe) was looking for somebody,” Mr Paans said. “I stuck with it for a few weeks and thought I might as well get the piece of paper.” “You’re doing it every day anyway and you can get paid while you earn,” Mr Tunnicliﬀe said.

In conjunction with the BCITO, some secondary schools are already schooling up trainees and teaching industry skills, such as the Gateway programme at Kuranui College. Through this initiative, Mr Tunnicliﬀe is giving work experience to a student from the college.

Mr Paans is the fifth apprentice the company has trained up – including Mr Tunnicliffe himself who was trained by his father Greg. Having been qualified for a few years now, Mr Tunnicliffe is now heading back into education to gain a “site supervisor” certificate.

Vote for me – or not, as the case may be Ford Every Stream

Gerald Ford Masterton Mayor Lyn Patterson is unchallenged in standing again for the role, which takes some of the excitement out of local body elections for Masterton residents. It is easy for me to comment on this aspect of the local body elections, because I can maintain my editorial independence. Let me state for the record that if I do choose to vote for a mayor of Masterton, it will be Lyn. It’s a strange thing, having an election that’s not really an election – a bit like living in one of those countries where there is only one political party allowed. You can choose to vote, or not vote, and the rulers can take their place at the table of nations and pretend they are a democracy. No such pretence exists here in Masterton, of course. There was a well-advertised process in which anybody could have been nominated and had their name placed on the ballot paper. The fact that no-one did indicates either that nobody else wanted to be mayor, or anyone who did want to has decided they couldn’t beat the incumbent. Having a Carterton mayor who is standing for re-election might also be a factor in the smaller field of two in that electorate, compared to South Wairarapa

and Tararua with five. The consolation for Masterton is that even without a mayoral race, there are plenty of other positions to vote for, as can be seen with even a quick glance at the plethora of local bodies across there on page three. In some cases, there will be only one or two losers as the number of candidates only just exceeds the available spaces. Sometimes, the same people are standing for more than one role, which is perhaps an indication that the town’s assets are too widely spread. This may be the last election in which Masterton, Carterton and South Wairarapa elect three mayors – so the stakes are high for potential mayors in Carterton and South Wairarapa because a mayoralty there could see them placed to stand for a Wairarapawide district council. Whatever its shape and whatever its faults, I am pleased to be living in a nation and a region where I can choose the people responsible for maintaining crucial community assets and services. It’s not an original thought but as we move into these local body elections, let’s spare a thought for those who don’t have the luxury of voting for their leaders. We can also perhaps cast our eyes forward three years or so to ask: Who has what it takes to be mayor of Wairarapa?

New builders on the block

By Aroha Witinitara, Makoura College

Students of the year 13 Makoura College BCITO (Building and Construction Industry Training Organisation) class are getting a leg up in the building industry. The class is currently in the process of building a single bedroom house. The project allows students to earn 20 level three credits; these credits will give them a head start towards apprenticeship qualifications and a sound grounding if they decide to pursue greater qualifications. This is the fifth house Makoura students have built and they are aiming to have it completed by the end of the third school term, ready for sale in term four. Previous houses have been full-sized 3 bedroom houses whereas this year, the house is smaller. It features a single bedroom, a bathroom and an open plan lounge/dining/kitchen. Makoura College Technology teacher Bill Taylor says the focus of the project is to provide a meaningful project along with valuable experience for year 13 students. While completing the project, students will learn all aspects of building, including the plumbing and electrical work. All this work is completed under the supervision of qualified

tradesmen. A wide variety of students chose to be a part of the project, including exchange students and two students from Chanel College. Not all of the students who put their hand up to participate in the project have an interest in entering the building industry as a career. Instead, for some of them, their goal is to gain life skills. “Everyone’s going to be a homeowner one day so we all need these kinds of skills, like building a fence or even adding a new room.” Mr Taylor says. It is difficult for the school to cover the cost of the building materials for a house. Makoura is fortunate to have the support of Tumu ITM who provide the materials and carry the debt until the house is sold. Mr Taylor says “what we need to do is cover the cost of the materials; we don’t have to make a huge profit. It’s not a profit making thing. It’s for the students to get the real hands on experience. The money is secondary.” Students agree that the project has been a great venture. Jack Wesley says it has helped him to build more experience. Huta Thomas said he was motivated to join the class by his passion for architecture and stayed for the fun nature of the project.

Makoura College hard tech class house building project led by Bill Taylor.

Daniel Gray says he likes the class because it’s ‘something different.’ Originally this year’s house was to be built for a local church. Unfortunately their funding for the purchase fell through and the arrangement was cancelled. However, because of the nature

of the building it was decided it would sell easily so it went ahead anyway. In past years the houses have sold for between 70 and 90 thousand dollars. This year’s house will be much cheaper because it is much smaller. It would make a great self-

contained unit and the final cost would be dependent on how much of the finishing work (kitchen, bathroom painting etc) the buyers wanted to do themselves, Mr Taylor said. Anyone interested in purchasing the build can contact Bill Taylor at Makoura College.

Wide choice for mayor except in Masterton Five candidates are aiming to fill the newly vacated mayor’s office i both South Wairarapa and Tararua in the upcoming local government elections. Long-serving mayor Adrienne Staples (four terms) of South Wairarapa and Roly Ellis (two terms) of Tararua have decided not to stand for re-election, leaving the field open for five challengers in each of their electorates. In Masterton, one-term sitting mayor Lyn Patterson will return unopposed to her post, while Carterton Mayor John Booth faces a challenge from new aspiring councillor Michael Osborne. Mr Booth was a secondterm councillor and deputy mayor in 2014 when he was promoted to mayor on the resignation of Ron Mark.

Orchestra to play for children Children will be the focus of the next concerts by the Wairarapa Community Orchestra. Two concerts will be held on Saturday, October 29. Children will be encouraged to walk among the instruments at the first concert; Kids’ Pops: A Musical Walkabout that will be aimed at children aged three to seven. The second concert A Musical Mishmash will cater for children aged eight to twelve. Musical director Ruth Eckford said she is choosing “a mix of well-known music such as theme tunes from movies and TV but also some easy listening classical music that will appeal to children”. “There’ll be a mixture of marches, dances, and familiar children’s songs,” Ruth said. “‘Playing for children will be a new experience for the orchestra. I’m sure they will enjoy playing these pieces that will be challenging but fun. I arrange the music to cater for the highperforming musicians and adapt

Playing for children will be a new experience for the orchestra. I’m sure they will enjoy playing these pieces that will be challenging but fun. it for those who are still learning.’ Ruth says the orchestra just keeps growing but she is especially looking for any musicians who play the oboe, the trombone, double bass and cello. Any other musicians are welcome to join. Practices are on Tuesdays from 7pm at 10 O’clock Cookie Bakery Café. For enquiries phone Ruth Eckford on 06 378 9399 or Jan Gerritsen 06 378 8209.

Re: Wairarapa warms up the world, Midweek August 3. Could I endorse my grateful thanks to everyone who has knitted things, donated wool, old but good hand-knitted garments (that can be unpulled and reknitted) or donated money for the freight for the containers. Everything has been so appreciated, and it is so life-changing for children to have warm clothes so they can go to school in winter. Without these, they cannot leave the house as they would freeze to death. The needs are changing though, as so many hats have been sent in that these are no longer top priority. The field countries are saying that the greatest need is for blankets - full sized single or larger blankets, and jerseys. The blankets need a good tuck in at the sides and the bottom. One home I visited I saw two narrow single beds in the boys’ room. There were five teenage boys who were bedded at night somehow. One blanket per bed and they were so grateful. All the beds I saw were narrow single and no bed had less than two sleeping in it. If anyone is downsizing their home, or clearing an estate and there are bags with half knitted garments or bags of wool in good order we’d be delighted to help you dispose of it.

It’s Shakespeare time

I was interested to read Graeme Burnard’s article “Plenty of drama to share” on 10 August saying that there seems to be little communication between the local theatres. If he had inquired at the Greytown Little Theatre he would have been advised there had been ongoing communication between some theatre secretaries this year. As one of this year’s Shakespeare directors I was under the impression that I directed Love Lust and Lies with Lynn Bushell at the Greytown Little Theatre to celebrate the 400th centenary of the writer’s death. We had excellent audiences for Love, Lust and Lies. Maybe Shakespeare is exciting theatre? Do we need more? I see a fourth production of Shakespeare is onstage in Masterton next month.

Premature identical twins Marcus (left) and Lucus Sarath in their gifted ‘tiny tops and hats’ are surrounded by 40 sets ready to warm more tiny babies in the Special Care Unit at Wairarapa Hospital.

Newborns warmed by community knitting

Baby Ashwell, born this month at Wairarapa Hospital, is one of about 70 babies this year who were born by caesarean section in the region so far this year. Within hours of his birth, young baby Ashwell was wearing a woollen hat made with love by a generous knitter in Masterton. It kept his head cosy especially in the hospital theatre which has cooling operating temperatures. Throughout the year,

Wairarapa community knitters produce an ongoing supply of hand knitted woollen hats which theatre staff put on newborn babies to keep them warm. Kate Ferguson, co-ordinator of ‘Hats on Heads’, says for many babies these hats are the only woollen garments they have. Each hat comes with a special message, “…with good wishes and blessings of those at St Andrew’s in the Paddock.”

“Wairarapa Hospital theatre staff are thrilled with the tiny gifts and thank all the knitters for keeping the babies warm. There are many babies and families that benefit from the thoughtfulness and kindness of these dedicated knitters.” Although Christmas is still a few months away, tiny Christmas hats are ready for any festive babies. Blue tops and matching hats, gifted to premature twins Marcus

and Lucus Sarath, were kindly donated by another talented knitter from Palmerston North whose garments are shared between Special Care Units in both Manawatu and Masterton. The Special Care Unit babies at Wairarapa Hospital have also benefited from a selection of merino beanies and booties from Merino Kids, Greytown, which was very much appreciated by families.

ECCT grants $570,120 to Wairarapa groups Eastern and Central Community Trust has given $570,120 to Wairarapa organisations as part of $5.54 million in its wider area, the trust announced last week. Trust chair Geoff Milner says 2015 was a difficult year for financial markets. There was a $1.2 million surplus (to March 31, 2016) is down on the significant $14.1 million of the previous year. The trust holds an investment portfolio of $166 million. Most funding went to community facilities, sport and recreation and youth, in line with the trustâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s targeted priorities.

Wairarapa Midweek

Garden Talk en Barn STARTING FROM SEED August is the perfect time to start sowing your seeds. With just a few basic implements, all of which we sell at GardenBarn, you will surely catch the ‘sowing bug’. And that’s not a bad thing, because ultimately, sowing your own seeds is a cost effective solution for growing an array of flowers, herbs and vegetables.

WHAT DO I NEED?

You will require a plastic seed tray, a 15 litre bag of good quality seed raising mix (this will fill about four trays), four packets of seeds and a small bag of Daltons Fine Pumice.

HOW DO I DO IT?

Fill the tray with seed raising mix to about 30mm (3cm) from the top. Level and firm down the mix with a piece of board or anything flat to smooth and firm the surface. Water thoroughly and let drain for a couple of hours; this saves getting water everywhere. When drained, divide the tray into four sections (more or less) and lay a stick or something similar on the surface to clearly show the divisions. Lightly press the stick into the surface so it won’t move. Open the seed packet and roughly estimate how many seeds are there and how many plants you want to have. A quarter of a GardenBarn tray can grow around 50 first stage seedlings. A tray divided into four sections should yield about 160 seedlings to be “pricked out” later. Thinly sow approx. 60 seeds into the given area which allows for some seeds not to germinate. The easiest way to sow seeds is to sow them out of the packet. Put a fold in the middle of the packet to form a channel where the seeds will trickle out. Hold the packet about 100mm (10cm) above the surface and gently shake your hand while tipping the packet slightly forward. If you hold the packet too high the seed will bounce all over the place which is ok as long as it bounces in the given area. Repeat this process with the different varieties. It is now time to cover the seed. Our sowing team at GardenBarn spreads fine pumice straight over the seeds. It is important to evenly cover the seed with about 3mm (3cm) of fine pumice. Alternatively, you could use propagation sand. Don’t cover too deep or the seed will take too long to germinate - or not germinate at all. Larger seeds (like that of a sunflower seed) may want a deeper cover or you could press the seeds into the surface. Don’t forget to label each variety then place the tray in a warm place, but not in direct sunlight. Cover the tray with last week’s Midweek (remembering to take out GardenBarn’s Garden Talk for future reference) to keep the moisture in. The tray shouldn’t need watering until the seeds germinate.

DO I NEED TO WAIT UNTIL IT’S WARM?

Most seeds need constant warmth to germinate. If it is too cold germination will be poor and slow. For plants that need a long growing season, a smart move would be to consider buying a heatpad to sit under your seed trays. (Heatpads can also be used to warm your chilly toes!).

AFTER GERMINATION

After germination the tray may need watering. The safest way to water small seedlings is to soak the tray in water to about quarter the depth of the tray. This is very important; too deep and you will float off the seeds. Leave the tray in the water for about half an hour. Another method to water the emerging seedlings is to over water with a fine nozzle. When a seed sprouts, the first set seed leaves open right out. However, it is when the next set of leaves open (the ‘true leaves’ – see image), that it is time to ‘prick out’ (transplant) the seedlings to containers for growth to planting out in the garden stage. To transplant seedlings, fill a larger tray or small individual containers with seed raising mix. Give the tray or containers a good soak and leave to drain for a couple of hours. Loosen the soil around the seedlings (a kitchen fork or spoon is handy for this); then carefully lift them out, one at a time. Or lift a clump of seedlings and gently separate individual plants by carefully teasing apart the tangled mass of roots. Try to keep some soil mix on the roots. Handle seedlings by their leaves to avoid damaging the tender stems. Poke a hole in the new container’s planting mix, place the seedling in the hole (about halfway up the stem height), and firm the soil around it. Water the transplant right away to settle the seedling in. The growing position can be a bit more exposed to light than the germination process, but still out of direct sunlight. Every two days, turn the tray around to the light source to grow your seedlings evenly. If the seedlings start all growing towards the light at a sharp angle and start to stretch (the stems get long and white), then the position is too dark. Remember too, to check the moisture content every couple of days and water if needed. Then after about two weeks the seedlings will be ready for planting out in your garden.

THE IMPORTANCE OF GOOD QUALITY SEED RAISING MIXES

Good quality seed raising mixes have coarse particles that will help the mix breathe. Slow release fertilizer feeds hungry seedlings. They also have a fungicide to prevent the soil-borne fungus referred to as ‘damping off’.

August 21ST & 22ND are suitable days for applying liquid fertilizer to actively growing plants. August 23RD to 27TH is a barren period. Sap run is low and planting is to be avoided.

Flower day for cancer research

The Cancer Society’s annual flagship event Daffodil Day – one of the most important fundraising and cancer awareness events – falls this year on Friday, 26 August New Zealand wide. Now in its 26th year, Daffodil Day raises awareness of cancer and is the biggest generator of funds for the Cancer Society. ANZ has been the principal sponsor of Daffodil Day since the event began. Donations received will go towards vital research into the causes and treatment of all types of cancer as well as providing a range of support services, information, health promotion and education programmes to reduce cancer risk, awareness campaigns and programmes for people affected by cancers. People wanting to donate to progress the research and support those affected by cancer can do so by donating directly with a street collector, at any ANZ branch, by texting 469 to instantly donate $3, or online at daffodilday.org.nz.

think. You want a funeral that will reflect and celebrate your love one’s life. Where do you turn first? Your first step is to call a Funeral Director. They are available on call 24 hours a day, so do not hesitate to call them. They are able to relieve you of a great deal of the stress. They will liaise with the Doctor, the Hospital or Coroner if necessary. They will register the death with the authorities, and organize newspaper notices. It is helpful if someone in the

family has ready information about the deceased, for example: correct and full name, parent’s names, date and place of birth, marriages, and ages of their children. The Funeral Director will transport, prepare, embalm, dress and casket the deceased, and organize the cremation or burial with the local authorities. For the funeral service they provide service sheets, and liaise with florists, Ministers or Celebrants. They will always act according to your instructions

and with sensitivity to your cultural or ethnic customs. Yes, funerals do incur a cost. Most funerals will require at least 16 hours of the funeral director’s time. Their fee also covers the costs of premises, vehicles, salaries and a 24-hour service. Upon application, WINZ may make a lump sum contribution towards part of the funeral costs if you meet the means test criteria. If the death is the result of an accident, ACC has a funeral grant available.

Funeral arrangements are changing, and many people like to make their own arrangements. Some also have funeral insurance, or may make advance payments towards their own funeral. Check with the funeral director to see if there is such a plan in place. Our next article will look at alternative funeral arrangements.

Masterton woman Emma Ayling tells of her recent placing at the Miss Ink Wellington tattoo beauty pageant. Emma will head to Miss Ink New Zealand in October.

I have been a part of Miss Ink Wellington since 2014 and although I have never placed until now, I still met some awesome girls and newfound friends and gained conﬁdence within myself. I am 26 and live here in Masterton and I went to Makoura College. I’m working as a barista/ cafe assistant in Masterton and have studied at the Sir George Seymour

Miss Ink contestant Emma Ayling shows her artwork.

College of Travel and Tourism now known as the New Zealand School of Tourism. Miss Ink New Zealand was started in 2011 by Australian born Fallon Nicole of Miss Ink Australia, who runs the event. The contestants of Miss Ink who enter themselves into a regional competition (Wellington, Auckland, Christchurch, Dunedin and Invercargill added this year) compete in three pageantry rounds consisting of casual/ everyday wear, swimwear and formal wear. During rounds 1 and 2 the contestants’ personal and tattoo bio is read out to the crowd and during round three the contestant is required to answer two questions, “Why you deserve to be Miss Ink” and then a question chosen at random for each contestant. My interest in pageants and photoshoots first started when I was a guinea pig for AJ photography and Venus Starr Alt Tours Photo shoots. I find photoshoots a huge confidence booster and always have so much fun. This year, I was chosen as the wildcard for Miss Ink Wellington. Although I don’t have as many tattoos as some of the other contestants I was still eligible and was super proud of being named wild card. My tattoos include Hakuna Matata (no worries) on the back of my legs, a butterfly in representation of my late grandma Kerry on my ankle and a dedication to my best friend Robyn. I have plans for many more tattoos too. My inspirations in the tattoo industry (my question in the formal round) include Venus Starr, Maryleigh Maxwell, Sabina Kelly and Pink Pirate aka Sarah Mudle, and I have had the pleasure of meeting them all. I’d like to be crowned Miss Ink New Zealand so I can show the females across the country that you don’t need to be size society and you can do anything you set your mind to.

Re-create yourself in Wairarapa Soapbox Mike Osborne

That mad dog and Englishman Noel Coward once said, “Television is for appearing on - not for looking at.” Well, here’s your chance Wairarapa. With the upcoming launch of Wairarapa TV, the invitation is out there for you to make a 10 second video introducing yourself and saying why you love Wairarapa – details here www.goo.gl/5h3vJK.0 We seem to be living in an age of pervasive passive entertainment. Television, Netflix, YouTube, professional sport and more provide a constant barrage of story and sensation to fill the hours between work, study and sleep. In Stephen Covey’s “7 Habits of Highly Effective People” (right up there with Stephen Hawking’s “A Brief History of Time” in the league of most begun but never finished books) he deconstructs the word “recreation” into re-creation: recreation is the activity in which we can re-create ourselves. That re-creation may be for our bodies, our minds, our spirits;

There is something special about being entertained in real time by real people. it could be for us alone or with others to make and deepen bonds and connections with each other, our place, and our community. Passively soaking up other people’s creations may be a way of relaxing and blobbing out, but is it recreation? In Wairarapa we are fortunate to have a number of amateur theatre groups and strong drama in our secondary schools. Anyone who went to the recent Bad Girls put on by MATS would have seen a bunch of talented people putting on a top class

show. There is something special about being entertained in real time by real people. You don’t need broadband, the latest widget and app to have real entertainment. Stories, jokes, songs, charades, a musical instrument – low-tech is good, we have everything we need to entertain each other. CGI, special effects and blockbusters all have their place and we have the luxury of being able to enjoy these productions too, but let’s not forget the simpler pleasures of interacting with each other rather than a screen. And, we don’t have to be perfect performers to entertain each other. Limelight Theatre held a workshop in February to heighten the skills of our local actors and directors to entertain us with live theatre. This culminated in the recent ly held LOAF, the Limelight One-Act Festival where they could show off their chops. Four short, very different plays provided the evening’s entertainment and it was heartening to have a full house. With simple sets and lighting the players had to work to capture the audience’s imagination but that is the magic of live theatre. To mangle Noel Coward, “Life is for appearing in, not looking at.”

Langlands is one of five regional finalists, described by national coordinator Nicky Grandorge as “all strong candidates with great viticultural knowledge and a real passion for the industry”. The main day of questions and challenges will be on Tuesday, August 23 at Villa Maria, Marlborough. “It’s a tough day for the contestants and they have all been studying hard over the last few weeks.” says Nicky Grandorge, the National Co-ordinator of the competition. “The National Final is quite a step

up from the regional competitions so the winner really deserves to take home the trophy and title of Bayer Young Viticulturist of the Year. It also prepares them well for the Young Horticulturist competition in November.” Other finalists hail from Auckland, central Otago, Hawkes Bay and Marlborough. The competition includes a hortisports race, a quickfire buzzer round and speeches. The national winner takes away a $5000 AGMARDT travel scholarship, use of a Hyundai Santa Fe for a year, $2000 cash, wine glasses and a leadership week where they meet some of the top leaders in the New Zealand wine industry.

Feds praise forum

A Federated Farmers spokesman has welcomed a Government announcement of a new national biodiversity forum. Environment Minister Nick Smith mentioned the initiative at the Environmental Defence Society conference last Wednesday. Federated Farmers spokesperson for biodiversity Chris Allen says New Zealanders now have the opportunity to come to a common understanding of the pressures and priorities for biodiversity, on land and in water. “From here we chart a way forward. Part of this will be agreeing on a national policy statement,” Mr Allen said. “Alongside that, we have the opportunity to look at how we can upscale ‘action on the ground’ partnerships. An example is the Cape to City project in Hawke’s Bay which is controlling predators and restoring plants and wildlife across 26,000 hectares of land from Hastings to Cape Kidnappers and south to Waimarama. Mr Allen said success at the Government’s predator-free New Zealand goal will need is “a coordinated effort at scale with affordable technology that transforms how pest management takes place on farmland”.

Musical of the decade By Suzanne Oliver

From Spamalot in the 10th century to Disco Inferno in the 1970s it is no surprise that this year’s Wairarapa College annual major production is Back to the 80s. The show opens on Wednesday August 24 in the college hall and runs through to Saturday August 27. With over 60 cast members, a backstage crew of over 20 students and an orchestra of 10 student musicians, director Gavin McEwen says producing the show is a big team effort. It is not by accident the show is set in the 1980s this year, he says. ‘It is to do with chronological symmetry.’ ‘The first show I directed was Monty Python’s Spamalot set in the 10th century, then Sweeney

Todd in the 1890s followed by Bugsy Malone from the 1930s then Grease set in the 1950s and last year we had Disco Inferno which was, of course, the 1970s!’ Mr McEwen says everyone has had a wonderful time rehearsing the big hits of the 80s and it was surprising how many knew and loved the song list. With the cast rehearsing three times a week reaching to over 12 hours, Mr McEwen says they are right on track to produce a big show. ‘Our goal is to get as many of members of the community attending. We keep the costs low and we make the show something everyone wants to see and enjoy.’ The cast has been drawn from all areas of the school and Mr McEwen says this year in particular it is made up of the

most diverse groups in the college. Members of the 1st XV rugby forward pack are involved in leads and the ensemble and he says they have added a huge amount of talent, fun and volume to the musical. ‘It has impressed me how nimble these hulking guys are on their feet! ‘ One thing Mr McEwen says he has learned over the years is that mothers will always attend shows and fathers will do so begrudgingly – and only those shows they are comfortable with. ‘With this in mind I know the show has to be fast, fun and entertaining. I do believe that this show has something for everyone in it.’ Tickets can be purchased from the college office.

Wairarapa Midweek

New website aims to take care of business A Wairarapa consultancy firm announced last week the launch of a new business advice website. The site waibiz.nz was launched quietly in July to friends and contacts, according to founder Jennifer Taylor who is the director of Taylor Corporate Solutions. It provides free business advice as well as downloadable business resources for sale. The site also links to training, mentoring and coaching for business owners and managers and their staff. Ms Taylor said the website is “particularly aimed at new businesses, or budding entrepreneurs who might be thinking about going into business for themselves”. “I was spurred to launch WaiBiz when I saw how small Wairarapa businesses can struggle to find the time and information they need to run their business and keep up to date with changing obligations and responsibilities,” Ms Taylor said. “WaiBiz brings that information together in one place, enabling small businesses to easily access key information and advice so they are able to get on with their core business.” The failure rate of new

businesses in New Zealand is about 25% in their first three years, Ms Taylor said – and she wants to give Wairarapa businesses the best chance possible to succeed and “achieve good governance”. Ms Taylor and fellow Wairarapa consultant and entrepreneur Jo Parker provide business training, coaching and mentoring over a range of topics including management, communication, marketing, governance, health and safety and human resources. “My intention is that we slowly expand by adding other consultants over time, to extend the range of training, coaching and mentoring we can offer to Wairarapa businesses,” Ms Taylor said. She also aims to extend the e-resources available through the site. “With 460,000 small-medium businesses in New Zealand, we want to make sure our Wairarapa businesses have access to the right information to be competitive.” WaiBiz is hosting two free workshops during in August on developing a business brand – with places able to be reserved through the website.

HOW ARE YOU GETTING HOME TONIGHT?

The new school space.

PHOTOS/SUPPLIED

College upgrades teaching space By Fiona Dransÿ eld, St Matthew’s Collegiate In 2014 there was a need to ensure the structural integrity of the Upper Classroom teaching area; at 20% on the EQ code it was vital. Earlier attempts, although meeting compliance, were not sufficient under the new regulations. The building was in a ‘largely as original state prior to the works and was earthquake prone’ Accent architects were engaged and they set to consultation meetings with the Proprietors, Trustees, and school. Time was a major factor, so the first stage of the work was to remove the hazardous concrete tile roof in 2011-12. What was important was to retain Historical integrity in terms of the school’s aesthetic but also to be mindful that we were creating a sustainable building. If you look back at the school’s building construction history, it has been slotted together and taken apart. Lazarus was joined to the Upper Classroom; then was taken off. Upper Classroom was built in different stages- years apart in fact. Two stages were built in the 1920s, and the last stage in 1951. Cleghorn was added in later years. I suppose in many ways we have been faithful to the ‘clip-on’ approach, but there is something more aesthetically pleasing in the latest building event. First, it is safer. It is compliant- the Masterton Council have ensured that. Work for the earthquake strengthening has included removal of the unreinforced brick walls – while retaining the floor and propping the roof. We have also been fortunate that our architects have pawed over the necessary documents and guidelines to make sure we meet any and all regulations. Fire egress is a notable improvement. In the old building there was one way in, and it was the same way out. Our new build has all required egress. We have considered the door sliders, and the doors. Although glass doors, they have the required safety thickness and manifestations. The walls and structure are sound and safe. Second it is modern traditional. It still smacks of the old world charm, but with the modern conveniences one would expect. The rooms are flexible- they can be normal classrooms or slide back a door and the space becomes a bigger learning space. Third it is light. The oppressive darkness of old classrooms has now gone with big expanses of safety glass. There was a long expanse of windows in the old building which gave great visibility into the rooms but the rooms did not benefit from that glass- now they do. With the light, there is also cross ventilation to the classes. Fourth it is aware of the age in which it has been built. There are push button heating and window systems. We are the first in New Zealand to have state of the art door sliders. The teaching walls have great storage solutions, and accommodate whiteboards and Smart Boards. Even the teachers’ desks can be pushed out of the way. We are a BYOD school so the common space has charging bays for the girls’ devices. Bring into 21st century flexible learning environment while largely retaining the

The new development has extensive decking.

footprint of the original building. The introduction of short throw data projectors will compensate for the additional light, and the state of the art cabling will continue to allow more effective wifi capability. Fifth it is environmentally and people aware. The teaching walls use sustainable wood making it hard wearing and perennial. Incorporated into the common spaces are also enviro bins to ensure we are taking care of our environment. As well as earthquake strengthening work, has included making the classes all accessible – previously there was a step up into each room from the corridor. Ramps were added and floors to corridors raised to the same level as the classrooms. The Common room space also has filtered water available to the girls. We are increasingly aware of how much children carry but also aware that devices will over time reduce the amount that weight, so moving forward we have installed locker drawers, which double as seats. Sixth it is space- aware and accessibility aware. The build has created a series of different sized spaces which have connections to each other. There is now the ability to open up or close down spaces, and sight lines have improved. The Common room space has provided a communal area for the girls to gather, while creating extra learning and breakout spaces. It could also be a venue for a mini conference. The wide covered verandah, which can be used as an extension of teaching spaces directly – thus allowing passive supervision. The connection through to the lower teaching block is more obvious now creating a more cohesive campus. Teachers have a good deal of resources and the teaching walls have afforded much desired additional storage.
