Pataka out of covid
By: Gerald Rillstone
When the country went into lock-down level four all of the food banks had to close and the general manager of Kokiri Marae Teresea Olsen worried about the famlies supplied by their organisation. So a team from Kokiri marae decided to get started on building a pataka, food storage. Janis Awatere, coordinator for the new Pataka Kai, says the aim is to now build on the new organisation. Continued on page 2. Pataka Kai coordinator Janis Awatere supervises the food distribution.

Future kai Continued from page 1 “This Pataka came out of covid,” Janis says. “Teresea was concerend for the families we worked with the most and decided to start a little pataka (food storage) at Kokiri on the first day of the lock-down, and from that first day it just grew really big because there were people who were really desperate.” At the height of the demand the team was going outside of Wainuiomata to Wellington, Porirua, Tawa, Upper Hutt, Lower Hutt and reached right up to Waitangirua. She says the success of the pataka is because of the Tihei team, “they really got it going because they set up the whole thing and that team was made up of social workers and youth workers who had never done
anything like this in their whole lives and came together to build the pataka,” she says. “You have to imagine that we were all social workers, councilors and quit smoking coaches and had never done this before and we were unloading and loading trucks with massive boxes of supplies.” “The help came from everywhere, The Ministry of Social Development, Countdown Wainuiomata, Pak’n Save Petone, ReMakery in the Hutt and from Kaibosh and also the Wellington City Mission ,” Janis says. When the country finally went into level two she says Teresea Olsen realised that Wainuiomata really needed a good food bank but one with a difference. And the difference is they are working towards making a lot of

being done by volunteers and we have been lucky to have the Saint Peters hall in Wise Street to use and it has really bought the parish back to life with services also starting in the church on the 26th of July,” Janis says.
Community feedback sought Hutt City Council is seeking feedback from the community on a major upgrade proposed for the city’s rubbish and recycling services. Following community feedback and Council decisions, new services would come into place next July. Lower Hutt Mayor Campbell Barry says frustrations about Lower Hutt’s rubbish and recycling services is a source of constant feedback from people
right across the community. Under Council’s proposed changes, Lower Hutt households would receive two bins for recycling. One wheelie bin for mixed recycling, and another wheelie bin/crate for glass recyclables. “When I became Mayor, I strongly signalled our Council would urgently progress changes to bring our kerbside recycling service into the 21st century. Many other cities have been offering wheelie bins for
recycling for years, and our residents know they have been missing out.” Hutt City Council is also seeking community feedback about proposed changes to rubbish services, as well as the potential for optional green waste collection. The four options for rubbish services are, Council provides a fortnightly rubbish bin collection service (rates funded)Council provides a pay-as-
you-throw rubbish collection service- Council provides a weekly rubbish bin collection service (rates funded)- Council no longer offers a rubbish collection service. Consultation runs from 16 July to 16 August 2020. People can provide their feedback on proposed changes online at haveyoursay.huttcity.govt.nz or they can visit a library or hub to pick up a copy of the consultation document.

Matariki and medicine By: Gerald Rillstone A perfect addition to the Matariki celebrations over the weekend was Krystle Trinder’s plant based medicines. Krystle has recently started producing the traditional medicines Rongoa Maori and last weekend brought them along to the Matariki celebrations. Krystle works at Te Wananga o Aotearoa, one of New Zealand’s leading tertiary providers for all things Maori. “I am part of the recruitment team and because I have been immersed in that space I have been exposed to everything which is a blessing for me and I have learnt a lot about Rongoa Maori and have studied it myself,” Krystle says. Krystle observes the customs around sustainable harvesting
and also the Maori calendar for when it is right to harvest. “Matariki is a significant time for lots of different reasons and part of why I came to Wainuiomata was to promote Rongoa Maori as a way to celebrate Matariki,” she says. Krystle’s products range from balms, massage oils to body butters predominantly derived from Kawkawa. “Kawakawa is a whole bush for pharmaceuticals,” she says. “Kawakawa has strong medicinal properties it draws out toxins and is anti-inflammatory and it soothes any swelling you might have and more.” Kawakawa is very popular and well known and Krystle says she intends to expand her range to other traditional products that are right in our back yard.

Waste funding welcomed Wellington’s Chamber of Commerce has welcomed the Government’s $124 million investment in recycling infrastructure and has called on Wellington to step up as a green capital. “Waste is becoming a massive issue in New Zealand and impacts our status as a clean, green country,” says John Milford, Chief Executive of the Wellington Chamber of Commerce. “T he Cha mber hopes to day’s investment will help the
country scale up its recycling capabilities and help the transition to more of a circular economy when it comes to reducing, reusing, and recycling. “We’re calling on the Wellington City Council to take advantage of the new funding opportunities and fast-track their plans for a resource recovery centre based in the region. “The city has ambitions to be a carbon zero capital, but the plan to get there is unclear.

More energy-efficient housing Hutt City Council is the first New Zealand council to include building performance information on properties’ Land Information Memoranda (LIMs). Property owners now have the option of having their homes or rental properties’ health, warmth and efficiency assessed, and their buildings’ performance certified on their LIMs. Council’s Director Environmental and Sustainability, Helen Oram, says while this can add to the value of a property to potential buyers or tenants, and give them a more accurate picture of what they are considering buying, the main aim of the initiative is to improve the health of residents and the energy performance of the city’s housing. “We know as much as 40 per cent of the Wellington Region’s housing is damp or
mouldy,” she says. “We know more than 1160 of the region’s children are admitted to hospital each year for preventable housing-related illnesses. “And we know all the accompanying misery, lost opportunities and cost to our health system is avoidable.” Homeowners will be able to assess their planned or existing houses using a range of tools, such as the NZ Green Building Council’s HomeFit or Homestar rating tools. Homestar is a residential rating assessment that measures the health, warmth and efficiency of new homes, and HomeFit is designed for assessing existing homes. Hutt City Council and NZGBC are members of the Wellington Region Healthy Housing Group, which aims to ensure every home in the Wellington Region is warm, Hutt City Council is the first New Zealand council to include building performance dry and safe by 2025. information on properties’ Land Information Memoranda Photo: Suppiled
Traditional stone carving made easy By: Gerald Rillstone Planting to the Maori calendar and making traditional tools to garden with is all part of continued learning for Morgan Watson. He brought his self taught knowledge on working with stone to the Wainuiomata Matariki celebrations to show just how easy it is to make tools the old way. Morgan had originally been in business with Greenstone for about 20 to 25 years making a lot of the stuff you see in shops he made during his time in the
business but now days his interest is in going back to the basics of the craft, he says. One of the things he has perfected is the process of making lures to catch Kahawai using paua shell and stone and has caught fish reasonably easily using them. “I have gone out to sea and thrown the lure into a shoal and caught them easily,” Morgan says. Every day he works on recreating tools from the past and together with mate Dave Trinder they reproduce everything from
garden implements to tools for carving to musical instruments. “We have dug gardens to workout how they planted the kumera and what tools they used and how they used them and the Matariki calendar came into things to workout how best to plant crops,” he says. Together Dave and Morgan have even grown their own gourds and dried them to carry water. Morgan has a business selling Greenstone at his home and although he doesn’t advertise word of mouth keeps him busy.

GARDENING THIS WEEK

Rose pruning and care: By Wally Richards It is around about this time of the year that gardeners prune their roses making them ready for the new season. Weather is a determining factor on when you prune so you may wish to cut out this article for later reference. Do not prune your roses on a damp cold day as that is an invitation for the disease ‘Silver Leaf’. Pick a sunny day when the ground is on the dry side. Some gardeners worry about pruning their roses early and after the new shoots have grown, a frost may damage the shoots and hamper the new season development. It is a valid concern but there are ways to overcome the problem and reduce late frost damage. The most important thing is not to give your roses any nitrogen rich fertilisers such as Nitrophoska. There are two reasons for this and the first is that the nitrogen will force growths which will be sappy and tender, easily damaged by frost or cold winds. Sappy growths are loved by aphids, they just home in on this delicious aphid tucker. In past seasons a number of gardeners have contacted me because their rose’s new shoots were not normal in fact they had very distorted growths as if an herbicide had stuck them. In each case the gardeners had applied nitrogen or Nitrophoska to the roses at the rates given on the packets. (80 grams per square metre) That amount according to the specifications of the Importer’s staff (Ravensdown) is far in excess of what an application should be in any circumstances. According to my information from the importer, the maximum amount of Nitrophoska to be applied to heavy feeding crops such as maize, when the crop is well established, would be
50 grams per square metre. For general garden applications an amount of 25 grams (or less) per square metre for established plants. Roses only need one teaspoon per month at the most and this is the recommendation of the New Zealand Rose Society on their web site. Personally I would not use any as the product is acidic (so is rose fertiliser) and being so, harms soil life and worms. You are far better off using blood and bone, sheep manure pellets, magnesium and potash. (In fact all your roses should be given a good dose of potash now as this toughens up any new growths.) Use our Wallys Fruit and Flower Power as it has magnesium as well as the potash. The above natural products will more than adequately feed your roses through the season; (applications about every 6 to 8 weeks) increase the soil life and make for healthy roses. The more of the chemical fertilisers you apply, the greater will be the health problems which means more rescue sprays to overcome the problems. Look at any old rose in a neglected garden to see how healthy it is when compared to roses that are chemically pampered. (Should I say Hampered?) Pruning of roses is very simple and you can’t do anything wrong unless you were to cut the plant off at ground level. First thing to do is to examine the rose and see what dead wood and spindly canes are present. These are then removed. You are now left with a number of hearty canes varying in age. Generally we are looking for four to six canes that radiate out from the crown in different directions. (Four mature canes at the cardinal points would be
MINUTES WITH
Cheryl Davies Manager, Tu Kotahi Maori Asthma Trust What food do you crave most often? Whitebait fritters and roast pork with the trimmings perfect) Very old canes can be removed if the remaining canes are in a balanced situation. Even new canes can be removed if there is too many of them. When removing a cane it must be cut right back to the trunk from which it came. If not, it will likely produce new shoots. At this stage we should be down to about 4 to 6 canes that are fairly long. You will notice buds (where the new shoots are going to be) on these canes. You need to choose now how you want the rose to grow. If you cut the canes back to 2 or 3 outward growing buds the rose will likely grow taller and have less flowers but the flowers will be superior. You have cut the canes fairly low and rubbed out most of the inward facing buds. On the other hand if you want a shorter bush with lots of flowers you prune at
the 4th to 6th outgoing bud and leave most of the inward facing buds intact. Lots of new shoots will grow from this pruning and your rose will have a lot of flowers on shorter stems. For climbing roses you just thin out and tidy up to suit the situation they are in. After you have finished pruning all your roses then give them all a good spray with Wallys Liquid Copper (made up at 3.5 mils per litre) with Raingard added. Spray the canes till they are tinted blue. This copper will also give a reasonable degree of frost protection to the new shoots. Later if you have new shoots and there is going to be a cold snap spray the shoots with Vaporgard for the frost protection it offers. Problems? Ring me at 0800 466464.

SPORTS TALK With Jacob Page
Beauden at the back makes little sense Beauden Barrett gets booed in Wellington - interesting. Here I was thinking it was 2020 and booing was frowned upon. Perhaps that’s only the case when Cantabrians do it? It wasn’t a great look for those at the Cake Tin on Saturday night to get stuck-in to Beauden. The age-old saying is that you don’t boo nobodies so in a strange way the crowd, which was another poor one from the capital, giving him the raspberry
is a sort of backhanded compliment. Beauden did not have his best game, skinned by Ngani Laumape for the opening try, some typically inaccurate goal kicking, which is becoming a real issue across all Kiwi teams, and his inability to stamp his mark on the game from fullback, all culminated in another average night. Jordie Barrett won the brotherly bragging rights thanks to a clutch
conversion which atoned for his penalty flub from an easy distance earlier in the game. It still staggers belief that the Blues are playing him at the back when he is so badly needed in the 10 jersey. That’s no knock on Otere Black, who has been dependable yet unspectacular. If Beauden was the big-name signing needed by the Aucklandbased franchise, then I’m sure no one expected him to come to the
team to play fullback. Beauden playing that position did not work at the World Cup and yet it seems to be something which coaches are happy to persist with despite overwhelming evidence of mediocre returns. That’s what the Blues got last night. They’re paying top-dollar for a mediocre return. It’s like buying a Rolls Royce but keeping it in a garage and choosing to drive a two-door
Honda Civic. Take your new toy for a spin, let him lead the backline, make the plays and guide the attack. The two-point win for the Hurricanes goes a long way to ensuring the Crusaders win another Super Rugby title. The Blues’ selections have played a part. Harry Plummer has been exposed in the midfield the past two weeks, the Black/Barrett theory does them no favours.
Double sister act dominates victory for Ulalei Fuesina By Vaegaau Isaac In what was supposed to be the Senior 1 top of the table clash, Ulalei Fuesina completely outplayed the previously unbeaten Dynamic to take a comprehensive victory 48-21. Ulalei Fuesina got to work straight out of the blocks with a strong start finishing the first quarter 9-4. The shooting circle of Bree Itula and player-coach Sina Tamaalii combined beautifully with quick passes between them, finished with accurate shooting. The circle defensive duo of Summer Pere and Cerie Milovale restricted the Dynamics to 4 goals in the first quarter. In the second quarter the midcourt pairing of Angela Milovale and Faimafili Tamaalii increased the tempo with excellent feeding to the shooters, bamboozling the Dynamic defence. Ulalei Fuesina extended their lead to finish the first half 21-12. Ulalei Fuesina continued its dominance in the third quarter with a strong performance at wing defence by Brooke Cowpland. Her strong arms over the ball defence forced errors allowing the circle defenders to collect intercept
after intercept. She was rewarded with a number of intercepts and tips herself. The sisterly connections in the through-court-play were prevalent Cerie Milovale (GD) to sister Angela Milovale (C) to Faimafili Tamaalii (WA) to her sister Sina Tamaalii(GS) to finish. The moment of the game was a beautiful intercept by Cerie Milovale who was up against two attackers in the circle. Her clever positioning and body angle lured a long bomb pass from the Dynamic feeder for Cerie to collect, in one of her many intercepts. Ulalei Fuesina welcomed back Memory Hopoi who showed her versatility at GK and WA, while Stephanie Henry-Jones offered some good minutes at WD and GD restricting the Dynamic to 4 goals in the last quarter. Ulalei Fuesina dominant against Dynamic with a victorious 48-21 win. Ulalei Pua v Naenae Blue (Premier 1) In the Premier 1 match, Ulalei Pua led the whole game against Naenae Blue to take a comfortable win 68-58.

plethora of long bomb passes from fellow shooter Crystal Tomokino which she took with confidence and finished off with accurate shooting, including some longrange shots. Naenae had no answer for the long-bombs and were only kept in the game by Ulalei Pua’s unforced errors. A stand out performance by pocket rocket Alicia Hina who played almost every position on the court starting at WA with excellent pin point feeding to the shooters, before moving to GD to shut down the Naenae goal shooters and then to WD to put pressure on the Naenae feeders as well as bringing the ball down on attack for Ulalei Pua. She finished the game at GA with her trademark long range shooting, dodges and driving the baseline. It was a great defensive effort by the whole Ulalei Pua team who contested every ball on defence. Ulalei Pua too strong winning 68-58. Come along to support Ulalei Netball this Saturday 25 July at Walter Nash Centre: Ulalei Pua vs Convent Ma at 10.30am Ulalei Fuesina vs Rams Pango at 12pm
