Marsden students part of official reception for Samoan Prime Minister Continued from page 1.

Later in the ceremony, Deputy Head Girl Eva Whitfield and student Tamari Peseta made a presentation on behalf of the school, speaking in both English and Samoan, to acknowledge their pride in the first Old Girl Prime Minister, who was herself Deputy Head Girl during her time at Marsden.

“Fiame seemed genuinely touched to be presented her gift by Tamari and I on behalf of the school. As we walked towards her, “I wondered if she was reflecting on where she came from and wondered what we may become ourselves. Especially as a Year 13 student, having such a strongwilled Pasifika woman to look up to is crucial.” says Eva. “Knowing that a Samoan student from Marsden has now gone on to be the Prime Minister of Samoa is truly empowering and motivating. As a young Samoan woman myself, having the privilege of meeting the first female to become the Samoan Prime Minister was inspiring.

“She has set a great example for us all to strive toward and has paved the way for us to follow in her footsteps.”

Prime Minister Mata’afa attended Marsden from 1969–

1975 and is one of the school’s honoured Hall of Fame Laureates in recognition of her public service to her people, particularly women and children in Samoa in promoting and advocating socio-economic and political equality.

Born into a family of political and ‘ethnic’ leaders, Fiame has used her traditional status, her education and political position to help bridge the gap between

the traditional and modern way of life for Samoan people. She was the first female Cabinet Minister of Samoa and is currently one of the longest serving Members of Parliament.

For 15 years Fiame was the Minister of Education where she aimed to implement many of UNESCO’s Education for All (EFA) goals, working at all levels of education from early childhood education to mentor-

ing and training young women in IT and business skills. In her role as Minister, she sat on many international boards including UNESCO, The World Meteorological Organization and the YWCA, as well as local organisations such as the Samoan National Council of Women and the Inailau Women’s Leadership Network. She was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2005.

Charlotte motivated for 40-hour famine Ngaio’s Charlotte Gee is one of World Vision’s Youth Ambassadors and has been travelling the country drumming up support and interest for the World Vision 40 Hour Famine. This year she’s bungy jumped the Sky Tower and is carrying out 40 random acts of kindness to help raise money for the World Vision 40 Hour Famine.

A phenomenal 50,000 young people are set to take part in Aotearoa New Zealand’s largest youth fundraising event, the World Vision 40 Hour Famine, in just over two weeks’ time.

Wellington students are joining tens of thousands of others around the country to take on a 40-hour challenge and raise funds to provide clean water for children living in some of the world’s toughest places.

The World Vision 40 Hour Famine kicks off at 8pm on Friday, July 1 and runs until midday Sunday, July 3.

This year funds raised will be used to provide emergency

water to refugee camps; build new water systems for villages that need a clean water supply; and give communities the tools they need to keep water flowing for years to come.

Some of the events students have planned for the fundraising weekend include organising a concert with local musicians in Wairarapa; bungy jumping 40 meters; carrying out an iron-athon; and going without furniture for 40 hours.

Three much-loved Kiwis, rugby star Caleb Clarke, Mai FM presenter and television host Tegan Yorwarth, and Hollywood actor Julian Dennison, are supporting this year’s World Vision 40 Hour Famine.

Rugby star, Caleb Clarke, says the fundraising event is inspirational and an easy way for New Zealanders to make a difference for the millions of children affected by the global water crisis.

“In the scheme of things, 40 hours isn’t a very long time, yet the impact we can make for chil-

dren is massive,” he says. “When I first started playing rugby, one of my goals was to make a positive impact in any way possible, and to be an ambassador for the World Vision 40 Hour Famine makes me really proud.”

Mai FM Breakfast host, Tegan Yorwarth, says she remembers the World Vision 40 Hour Famine from her youth and it was always a fun time.

“I get nostalgic when I think about the World Vision 40 Hour Famine. I grew up wanting to participate when everyone at school was getting amongst it. It’s exciting for it to come full circle and for me to be an ambassador.”

She says this year’s theme really resonates with her.

“Giving people access to clean water is really important. I feel like having access to water should just be a given! To know that there are some people who don’t have clean water is disheartening. I’m glad to be a part of helping to change this,” she says.

Council leads new dog behaviour initiative Wellington City Council’s animal services are like a dog with a bone when it comes to responsible dog ownership – and their latest campaign really leads the way.

The past couple of years have been challenging for humans and animals, and there has been an increase in dog attack incidents, so Council is promoting the international Yellow Ribbon campaign to address some dog behavioural issues.

The campaign encourages owners to tie a yellow ribbon around their dog’s collar or leash to indicate if they need a bit of space.

This could be for many reasons,

including they’re old, injured, in training, a rescue dog, or anxious around other dogs and/or people.

Public Health Manager Helen Jones says the campaign has been successful overseas, and they’re hoping that will apply here too.

“Unfortunately, dog attacks have been on the rise over the past couple of years in Wellington, so any initiative we can introduce which could reduce these incidents occurring is a good thing.

“The Yellow Ribbon campaign is an easy way to show that your dog just needs some space, and for other dog owners and the general public to take that into consider-

ation when in close proximity.”

It’s important to respect your dog’s boundaries, and to communicate these boundaries to others says Animal Control Officer Damian Nunns from the Council’s dog squad.

“Decreased interactions with others during the COVID-19 lockdowns meant that dogs were often separated from other dogs and people.

“This reduced interaction, mixed with an inconsistent routine, has contributed to some dogs feeling anxious and fearful of others, and we know when dogs are scared they can lash out.

“The yellow ribbon doesn’t mean the dog is classed as aggressive, those dogs are already required to wear a muzzle – it’s just giving them some room to breathe.”

Find a ribbon in Wellington Yellow, tie it to your dog’s leash/ collar/bandana, and lead the way.

If a dog is showing concerning signs of anxiety, seeking out training is a good way to help them feel more secure in stressful situations. Getting your dog trained is another way to ensure that your dog behaves well around their doggy friends and their owners.

Rob’s mission to educate on family harm “Normal people don’t know this stuff!”

Johnsonville’s Rob Veale, is a former Police Inspector and government adviser on crime.

He’s a man on a mission. travelling the country educating health and social workers, Police and other community organisations on the realities of section 189A of the Crimes Act. That’s about Family Harm - strangulation and intimate partner violence.

“Actually, family violence is a misnomer,” he says, adding that the problem reached beyond the family situation.

He’s working not only to increase awareness of how common the crime of strangulation is, and the unrecognised physical and mental damage it does, but to ensure that cases are successfully prosecuted.

First of all, he told workshop members, it was crucial to name this behaviour

correctly.

“There’s no such thing as attempted strangulation. And don’t call it choking either.

“It’s strangulation, and it’s an attack on the brain.”

The 27 representatives of community organisations were warned that serious damage may be initially invisible, but Rob’s graphic diagrams and photos demonstrated how and why life-threatening injuries can worsen over ensuing days, weeks and months.

Not only that, while a woman may not initially be killed by a strangulation attack, the chances of her then being killed increased sevenfold if a male had earlier demonstrated strangulation behaviour.

His data showed not only how common this hidden crime was, but what advocates needed to know as they act for the women who present to them..

Showroom: 29 Hutt Road, Thorndon BLINDS FOR YOUR HOME AND OFFICE

The questions to draw out the information needed for successful prosecution - and the need to ensure that Police record all the details of an attack, -were discussed.

That’s needed because, Rob said, there had been a very few successful prosecutions since the Act was passed.

Yet strangulation often preceded a serious physical attack which may leave obvious marks or broken bones.

That means the strangulation factor is overlooked, especially as the symptoms of that include disorientation and confusion.

He had a final appeal.

“If you have a friend or family member who has been attacked in this way, help them get out of there. Immediately.

“You might think you have time to sort something out. You don’t.

“These guys are super scary.”

cricket titled The Summer Game, which he researched and co-authored with his wife Paddianne in 1994, and another illustrated history, this one of the Basin Reserve and called The Basin – which he wrote with journalist Joseph Romanos.

As a professional archivist, Paddianne was a constant and enthusiastic supporter and contributor to all of Mr Neely’s works, sourcing photos and information, and travelling around the country to research material for his many books.

NZC chair Martin Snedden, who’s entire 118-match New Zealand career fell under Mr Neely’s term as a national selector, said few other individuals had served the game as selflessly.

“I’ve never known anyone with a better knowledge of cricket history than Don,” said Mr Snedden.

“He has been an enormous contributor to the game in New Zealand, in so many different capacities, and all the time has carried and promoted a beautifully romantic notion of how the game should be played.

“He loved the spirit of cricket and he loved watching the best players in the world in action.”

Cricket Wellington CEO Cam Mitchell highlighted Mr Neely’s kind soul and love for the game.

“We have lost a true servant of our game, who cared so much for cricket and those involved.

“Don knew so much about the game and his passion for cricket knew no bounds.

“Don was always happy to lend a hand and share his knowledge of the game with those who needed it, and his legacy will now live on, not just with his name on the scoreboard, but the memories and knowledge that he leaves for us all.”

A funeral will be held at the Basin Reserve tomorrow.

Mr Neely is survived by his wife Paddianne, their adult children and partners Kristen and Chris, Sean and Angela, and Jason and Chelsea – and their many grandchildren.

Wellington City Council is on track to make radical changes to our electoral system, traditional rights, way of life and the shape of our city largely without proper notice or consultation. The changes are driven by imported ideologies not embraced or understood by the majority of Wellingtonians.

From a player and captain to Cricket Wellington president, New Zealand Cricket Museum trustee and Chair, NZC selector, president, and life member; from a youngster with a love of the game to prominent historian and author – Don Neely certainly lived his cricketing life to its fullest.

The 86-year-old, who passed away in Wellington last week, has been a key figure in the evolution of cricket in Wellington and New Zealand over the past 60 years, and no more so than in his beloved home city of Wellington, where the scoreboard at the Basin Reserve is named in his honour.

A former Wellington and Auckland captain, Mr Neely is best remembered for his services to the game once his playing days ended, his indefatigable efforts as an administrator and historian recognised with an MBE in 1995, and a MNZM in 2011.

He was appointed a selector of the New Zealand men’s team in 1979 and remained in that capacity for the next 14 years, including seven as convenor. The initial period of Mr Neely’s selectorship represented some of the headier times for an emerging New Zealand men’s team, including the second World Cup in 1979, a series win over unofficial world champions, the West Indies in 1980, the first Test wins in England in 1983 and 1986 and, the jewel in the crown – the Test series win in Australia in 1985.

Two years after stepping down from the selection panel in 1993, Mr Neely was conferred with an NZC life membership.

He was a popular NZC President from 2006 to 2009, a role which he also held at Cricket Wellington, as well as being a trustee and chair of the New Zealand Cricket Museum, and a member of the Basin Reserve Trust.

As a historian and author, Mr Neely was equally dutiful, in 1986 and 2008 co-authoring Men in White (the definitive word on the New Zealand men’s team) and its update, respectively, while also editing the popular NZ Cricket Annuals from 1973 to 1981.

His most impressive works were, arguably, an illustrated history of New Zealand

Greater Wellington calls for community views on public transport fares Public consultation on the Future Fares Review is open and Greater Wellington wants the community’s views on changes to our region’s public transport fares.

Greater Wellington’s Transport Committee Chair Roger Blakeley says, “one of our strategic priorities outlined in the Regional Public Transport Plan 2021 is to increase mode shift. The new fare types and potential

zoning changes have real potential to encourage people out of their cars and onto public transport.”

The Future Fares Review proposes increasing the off-peak travel savings and adding off-peak savings on-top of existing discounts for concession holders such as students, Community Services Card holders and Total Mobility cardholders. Greater Wellington

is also exploring the possibility of children traveling free on weekends when accompanied by a parent or guardian.

As electronic ticketing prepares to be rolled out across the wider Metlink rail network, Greater Wellington is starting to consider introducing new longer-term initiatives such as ‘fare capping’ and ‘targeted fare products’ for visitors and community events in our region. Cr Blakeley sees these as key to keeping up with the rest of the world in increasing public transport use through making public transport easier to use while rewarding regular commuters.

“Fare capping also provides a powerful transport equity tool though ensuring those that may not be able to afford the upfront cost of a monthly pass will still end up paying the same once a certain number of journeys has been taken during a month.

“We are also starting to think about options for integrated fares that will deliver a single fare across any combination of connecting

bus, ferry and rail journeys. We’ve long known that our current zoning system disincentivises people using public transport through penalising less direct journeys, for example if they may want to travel from Porirua to Hutt Valley by train. While this functionality will likely be introduced through the Waka Kotahi led National Ticket Solution we’re hoping to get some good feedback or what type of integrated fare we might introduce. “ Greater Wellington is running online events throughout the consultation period and encourages everyone to join in on these.

The events are a great opportunity for the community to ask questions about the Future Fares Review and engage with Greater Wellington Officers. Registration for these events can be done through Eventfinda.

To read the Future Fares Review and share your thoughts on the changes visit Have Your Say. Public consultation is open until 5pm Friday 15 July.

Marsden name artist in residence Mix a professional creative artist with impressionable students eager to learn and the results can be quite transformative – the ultimate outcome of the Samuel Marsden Collegiate School Artist in Residence programme.

Marsden established its Artist in Residence Programme in 1999 and continues each year to build a legacy of strong associations with professional practising artists and designers.

This year’s Marsden Artist in Residence is New Zealand-born painter, Monique Barnett.

Monique is holding her exhibition ‘affectionate wanderings through spaces both real and imagined’ at the New Zealand Academy of Fine Arts, 1 Queens Wharf, Wellington from 1-22 July.

Monique’s work often consists of paintings where figures and bodies skew and morph in fictive spaces. Recently she has expanded her concerns into materiality and installation.

Painting and drawing techniques are used to navigate how the body and personhood connect to space and the flow of the contemporary era. Monique’s expanded approach to painting attempts to open opportunities within painting, where materials layer in space and lead to unfolding possibilities. Monique will present a series of figurative paintings, large scale paintings on organza fabric, and a series of drawings on vellum.

Having recently returned to New Zealand, Monique commenced her five-week residency at Marsden on 2 May. In residence, she works

with senior art students on their portfolios and holds workshops for Marsden students, as well as students from other area schools, while developing a body of work for a solo exhibition. Her work with students involves creating 3D dioramas, photographing them, and then using those photographs to create unique paintings.

‘I have enjoyed my time here at Marsden, it has been rewarding to observe the students enjoy the experience of tactile making.

Building a diorama is a playful experiment that can develop into new, surprising and unexpected work. It has been a great pleasure to share this process of creative discovery with the students.’

Monique completed a Bachelor in Fine Arts at Canterbury University School of Fine Arts.

After graduating in 2009, she relocated to Melbourne where she held solo exhibitions and participated in numerous group and curated projects.

Police recover stolen bikes Police recovered five stolen bikes from a Wellington property on Thursday, as a result of ongoing efforts to target this type of offending in the district.

Three bikes have already been reunited with their rightful owner and Police are working to identify who the other two bikes belong to.

This is a great result for staff and the communities.

Staff also recovered three e-bikes, a mountain bike, two motorbikes and a stolen vehicle last week. A 24-year-old man is facing charges in relation to receiving stolen property.

Police rely on the public to be our eyes and ears, and ask anyone who sees any suspicious activity, including an excessive amount of bikes at a private address, or a person carrying tools such as grinders or bolt cutters near bike racks, to report it to us. Often these thefts are occurring in broad daylight, so please if you notice anything out of the ordinary report it to Police immediately.

A key focus for Police is preventing crime from happening in the first place. It’s important to ensure your bike is locked, placed in a brightly lit and public area, and you have taken note of the serial number.

The 529 Garage (free bike registration service) was launched earlier this year

by Canterbury Police and Christchurch City Council, and is a useful service for bike owners to enter their serial number, details of any identifying features, as well as photos of their bike.

Police would also like to remind the community to be cautious when buying or selling online and to trust your instincts – if it sounds to good to be true, it probably is and you should report it to Police.

Police say they take burglary and theft incidents seriously, if you are in a situation where you feel unsafe, or you see something suspicious, call 111 immediately.

To report a crime after it has happened, contact Police on 105, at 105.police.govt. nz , or anonymously via Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111.

Molly makes Junior NZ team Samuel Marsden Collegiate swimmer Molly Player is one of 23 swimmers picked for the New Zealand team to compete at the Junior Pan Pacific Games in Honolulu from 24–27 August.

National Development Leader and Team Leader, Alastair Johnson, is looking forward to seeing the team race in Hawaii.

Here is what Alastair had to say: “I am delighted that we have now confirmed a team of 23 athletes to compete at the 2022 Junior Pan Pacs. A huge well done to these athletes and to their coaches for navigating such a challenging 12 months to achieve the selection criteria. For most of these athletes, JPP will be their first international event and whilst their overseas experience will be limited, their enthusiasm to do themselves and New Zealand proud will

Samuel Marsden Collegiate swimmer Molly Player continues to earn international opportunities in the pool.

be very high. I am looking forward to seeing the team achieve their best in Hawaii, and to make meaningful strides towards 2024 and beyond.”

The Junior Pan Pacific Championships will serve as the first opportunity for the current generation of New Zealand age group swimmers to race internationally since the 2019 Australian State Teams, so it is certainly a great opportunity for these swimmers to show the rest of the Pacific region what they are made of. For many (including Kale), this will be their first time racing overseas so it will be an exciting time for the team. The team will be involved in the Tri-Series and a micro camp from 9 – 11 July in Christchurch as they tune up for their trip to Hawaii.

Continued vigilance urged as poisoned possums found Recent discoveries by Greater Wellington staff of possum carcasses contaminated by 1080 in popular dog walking areas along key waterways and beach areas has led to renewed calls by the regional council for dog owners to take utmost care of their pets.

“We’re urging people to keep their dogs away from the Hutt River and Wellington Harbour beaches while staff continue to

check these areas for dead possums and other pests poisoned with 1080.

“Recent heavy rain has seen a number of contaminated dead possums washed up along the Hutt River and eastern harbour beaches,” says Greater Wellington Biosecurity Manager Richard Romijn.

“Despite the threat posed by contaminated carcasses, many dog

owners seem to letting their guard down, allowing their dogs to roam off lead and scavenge in areas that could result in a tragedy.”

The carcasses arise from a 1080-based possum control operation on Friday 27 May 2022 in the Kaitoke Regional Park and the Hutt Water Collection Area.

Greater Wellington has erected warning signs and continues to check river and harbour beaches

from Te MƗUua to Pencarrow.

While contaminated possum carcasses aren’t a threat to people, they are poisonous to dogs.

“Particularly given we’re finding carcasses – and there may be many more we haven’t - we urge dog owners to avoid all eastern harbour beaches from Petone to Pencarrow, and the Hutt riverside,” says Richard Romijn.

“If you must walk in these areas,

keep your animals close on a lead and not allow them to scavenge, until warning signs have been taken down”.

Warnings to dog owners could be in place for up to four months, depending on how long it takes for the possum carcasses to breakdown.

If dogs have any contact with a dead possum, owners should get their dog to a vet immediately.

Supporting Local? YIP! Hey Everyone! Thanks for the Happy Birthday messages, the team put an embarrassingly large birthday card on one of our billboards, was a lovely surprise. I was very humbled at the volume of messages I received, especially from our community groups, so apologies if I haven’t had a chance to reply to your message. Moments like these highlight the importance of having a positive fabric in our community and helping each other thrive in tough times. I meet hundreds of community organisations and this week I want so share with you the things you could do to help our community thrive! s Spread the Word – no matter how big or small your social network may be, it doesn’t cost you anything to share a post or promote a business to your friends. If you see a cool local event, invite a friend, and go check it out. s Shop Local - when you visit a locally owned company you aren’t funding a global CEO’s next holiday home, you are directly helping a local family serve the community. Also don’t forget franchises, some of these are locally owned! The better our local businesses do, the more locals they can employ/engage, and more businesses will want to come and invest in our wonderful community. s Volunteer your experience – Our community would not survive, if not for all the amazing volunteers. If you have some precious time and skills to spare, maybe consider being a volunteer. Being able to directly participate and help local groups thrive is a wonderful part of my week. s Run a Group – If you have some expertise or talents you would love to share with the community, we have our FREE Collective Community Hub available for

you to run sessions, plus we may be able to help you get started too! Whether it is a fitness class or a craft workshop – we can help. s Donate/Sponsor – All local community groups run on a very tight budget and any donations and sponsorships are always welcomed. Maybe you have an unwanted gift that they could use as a prize, or you may just be looking for a good cause to donate to – there will always be a local group that would fit your target.

If you would like to know more about what options are available, feel free to get in touch – or pop into our Community Hub and Tracy, our Hub Manager will be more than happy to point you in the right direction.

As times get tough, let’s do more to support each other and check in on those who may be feeling a bit vulnerable right now.

Have a wonderful week.

GARDENING THIS WEEK Deterrent: cats and gardens

By Wally Richards The word ‘deterrent’ is not a word that is used much in gardening but it is a means to prevent something that you do not want to happen from actually happening.

For instance, you don’t want cats digging up seedlings or having their toilets in your gardens.

Many years ago when I was wearing a younger man’s shoes I learnt that cats do not like the smell of naphthalene which was told to me by a older gardener.

I found a company in New Zealand that imported tons of naphthalene for the tanning industry so it was easy to obtain a 25 kilo bag of the crystals and make it available for gardeners to use.

Back then moth balls were also available and most types of moth balls were naphthalene in a ball shape.

Time passed and the tanning industry changed their methods of tanning hides and so my NZ supplier stopped importing naphthalene.

I soon found an Australian company that was importing naphthalene from Belgium.

This meant bringing a pallet every year across the ditch to met the demand.

Over the many years I have found that naphthalene is about 90% effective as a cat deterrent, with only the occasional cat not being affected.

Then one day a couple of years ago there was a news item that some children were putting moth balls (naphthalene) into their mouths thinking any thing round must be a lolly.

This cause quite a commotion and the government stepped in and banned the sale of moth balls along with naphthalene.

I was notified by one of my retail outlets that moth balls/ naphthalene were banned.

So I contacted EPA and had a wee chat with them about my product naphthalene flakes sold as Cat Repellent.

Firstly they said they were not aware of my product and as cats are not insects it put a different light on the situation.

Fortunately they came back within a few days saying that I could sell naphthalene crystals as cat repellent but I had to put it in a child proof container and use the label information that they required.

I told them that I was happy with that and so we found a child proof container that would hold 400 grams of naphthalene tampered down.

So gardeners all over were able to deter cats and not have digested cat food in their gardens.

Next my Australian supplier informed me that because of regulations in Australia and a weak demand for naphthalene they were not importing any more.

All good things come to an end and as I got down to my last couple of 25 kilo bags I went looking for a new supply.

China was the first place as there is a lot of manufactured naphthalene there but being a Dangerous Goods they were only willing to sell a container load which would be about 10 to 20 tons. Enough to last me many years and a lot of money tied up in stock.

I purchased 250 kilos through my Indian contact and had him arrange to send it to NZ in my next container of Neem Granules and Powder.

Seems simple enough but not so as now days shipping lines do not want to come to NZ or Australia.

Why? Apparently it is too expensive now because our ‘without common sense’ government makes them sit off shore for weeks before they can come in and disembark their cargoes.

That means they are sitting on their thumbs using up fuel and having to pay the crew while on the beck and call of our authorities.

So no matter how hard we tried, no ship could be found to bring the naphthalene with our Neem Granules in our own container. (any excuse not to come to NZ).

We were running out of Neem Granules and powder so we elected to bring the granules and leave the naphthalene behind.

My man in India found a German ship and our container was on the way minus our naphthalene.

Ok how to get 250kilos of a DG to New Zealand?

Aircraft were hungry for money so at a cost of just on $7000 we flew my 250 kilos in.

That made it an expensive product so a few changes had to be made.

To offset the cost for gardeners I included instructions on how to get the most value and longer use out of the reduced amount.

Naphthalene if applied to a dry area will slowly evaporate over several weeks, months even, but if rained on or watered over its gone straight away.

So I have included instructions on how to take a common two litre plastic milk bottle and cut away part of the base to make a nice rain proof place to put a small amount of the naphthalene flakes in to deter cats.

You can simply use one or more of the milk containers to protect gardens, sheds, doors, porches etc from cat urine marking and toilet use.

Another new normal.

Naphthalene can be used in other ways as a deterrent for other things which I can explain in a future article.

As usual ...there are bits about other things if you email me.

Local historians contributing to "The Gardener’s Journal" For those who love gardens, to work in, wander around or just read about, The Gardener’s Journal offers a bouquet of articles on garden-related topics.

Editor, Margaret Long, is well-known to gardeners in New Zealand and overseas. Frensham, her garden in Canterbury is on the local and international tour circuit and and she leads garden tours to France and the UK. Margaret started The Gardener’s Journal after noting the gap in the New Zealand market for in-depth articles on gardening-related subjects not usually found in other publications. The Journal has no advertisements and the A5 size makes it perfect for tucking in a bag or reading in bed.

Local garden historians Bee Dawson and Clare Gleeson write for The Gardener’s Journal and the latest issue includes an article by Gleeson on the historic garden donated for the new hospice in Hastings. Also looking to the past, British writer, Claire Massett writes on the enigmatic Edwardian

gardener, Ellen Willmott and heritage rosarian, Murray Radka, explores the work of Eduardo Barba Gomez in identifying plants in historic paintings.

For those keen to travel, either by armchair or plane, the issue includes articles on the allure of Italian gardens, the wildf lowers of Bhutan and memories of gardens in Sark.

What to plant in a crevice garden, the story behind the development of the Peak Perennials nursery and an in-depth look at the popularity and uses of lilacs, will satisfy curious plantspeople.

These are just some of the articles in the current issue which also includes book reviews and a plant profile.

The Gardener’s Journal is available locally at Marsden Books in Karori or by emailing Margaret (margaretlong@xtra.co.nz). Subscription for a year (including postage) is NZ$75, or individual copies can be bought for NZ$25. Past issues are also available.

Scouts Aotearoa National Volunteer Week is an opportunity to reflect on the impact volunteering has on Aotearoa New Zealand. Margaret Mead once wrote “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.” This week we celebrate our wonderful Scouts Aotearoa volunteers who are changing the world for the better when it comes to youth development.

Our impact across Aotearoa New Zealand is only possible because of those who choose to volunteer. On behalf of the 1200 youth members in the Wellington region who benefit daily because of you: thank you for giving up your time, your energy, and your skills to help bring out the best in our young people. Your commitment to helping our young people develop their leadership ability

is a true gift to Aotearoa New Zealand.

Most of all thank you for being you!

Thank you for being a committed citizen interested in changing the world. Scouts Aotearoa also thanks all the volunteers that contribute to the betterment of Aotearoa New Zealand. There are 115,770 registered non-profit institutions in Aotearoa New Zealand who provide critical services like: fire, ambulance, coast guard, conservation, civil defense, community shelters, faith based support, health and wellbeing, sports and recreation, animal welfare, search and rescue, surf life saving, and youth development.

Giving time shows elders they matter “Right now, rest home volunteers are more important than ever before.” This from Enliven general manager Nicola Turner.

“We are very grateful to have such amazing volunteers of all ages who bring a special something to our homes.”

Enliven is part of the not-for-profit organisation Presbyterian Support Central.

In Wellington, Enliven operates Cashmere Home and sister site Huntleigh Home and Apartments.

“Enliven homes offer a holistic and residentdirected model of care to which volunteers have always played an important role,” says Nicola.

“Volunteers give so much more than just time. They become friends and supporters; they bring diversity, spontaneity and excitement to our rest homes and day programmes.”

As staff shortages continue to bite across the aged care sector, volunteers are more important than ever before.

“Rest homes are managing staff shortages, but Covid-19 has had other impacts like the need to RAT [rapid antigen test] people before they come into the home.

“Having volunteers to help with this testing means staff are not taking away from caring for elders,” explains Nicola.

But that’s not the only volunteer role Enliven homes have on offer. Some volunteers help with recreation activities such as the men’s

Enliven’s volunteers are invaluable to staff and residents.

shed, art and craft or interest groups, while others provide entertainment like playing the piano.

“They might help with some gardening or admin jobs, support residents to use technology like video calling to keep in touch with families, or spend one-on-one time with a resident,” says Nicola.

“What we really need right now are volunteers who are willing to offer regular days and times for their volunteering so we can factor that support into our planning.”

There is no age limit for people who want to donate their time to Enliven, however like staff, all volunteers must be fully vaccinated against Covid-19.

Cashmere Home is located in Johnsonville and sister site Huntleigh Home and Apartments are located in Karori. To find out more about the homes and volunteering, visit www. enlivencentral.org.nz or email support@psc. org.nz. PBA

Ohariu artists shine at Beehive The work of twelve artists and sculptors from across the ƿKƗriu electorate went on display this week at the Beehive’s Visitor Centre and Te Papakura in an exhibition entitled “The ƿKƗriu Collective”. Local ƿKƗriu MP Greg O’Connor took up the invitation from the Parliamentary Services to bring together local artists and their works for the exhibition.

“My first stop was Mitchell Studios in Khandallah where Madeleine Mitchell and her daughter Anna Reed helped us identify most of the artists, all of whom were enthusiastic to participate.

“I was pleasantly surprised at the depth of local talent exhibiting their works all over the

city and country, but who had never come together before,” Greg says.

‘We invited representatives from community groups, schools, and other prominent residents to the exhibition opening, and they enjoyed rubbing shoulders with the artists and my fellow politicians,” he says.

The exhibition will continue until July 25 and is open to the public on Tuesdays to Saturdays.

Tasha Fernandez, the Curator of the Parliament exhibitions, said this was by far the biggest exhibition of local art they had hosted, and was extremely impressed by the standard of the work, all of which is for sale.

SPORTS TALK With Jacob Page

Baz giveth the golden era and Baz taketh away It seems fitting that the man who started this golden era of New Zealand cricket should be one of the main architects in its demise last week.

Brendon McCullum’s appointment as England test coach has paid hefty dividends just three weeks in and has left the Black Caps in a cricketing abyss.

England’s five wicket win, where they chased down 299 in 50 overs on the final day had McCullum’s fingerprints all over it and the Black Caps had little answer in the final

session of play.

Where the Black Caps go from here on seems filled with uncertainty.

Rumours are rife that Kane Williamson will stand down as captain in the coming weeks which means heir-apparent Tom Latham is set for the top job - but is he the right man?

I’d argue he gets the role by default, running unopposed like an old school Tim Shadbolt mayoral campaign in Invercargill but the reality is, Latham’s batting

against top sides and away from home has to be a worry. Plus his tactics as captain have contributed to this latest English defeat and an awful test loss at home to Bangladesh and a drawn series against South Africa.

England spoke of their intent to win the latest test after day four, there was no hiding it, there was no ambush, yet Latham, coach Gary Stead and co had no plan B or C to call upon.

I’m still firmly of the belief Devon Conway is an opener.

He has the technique and runs which prove that and should partner Latham at the top.

Can Will Young bat at No 4?

Perhaps but that, along with the all rounder and slow bowling option continues to be a worry for New Zealand.

The worst part of all this is that this isn’t an amazing England team, they’re just a team playing with new-found self-belief.

The loss felt like the official end of this golden run of cricket we’ve had since 2015.

Hampered by their own poor selections (Neil Wagner where are you?) and an inability to adapt has seen the Black Caps slip quietly back into mediocrity over the past six months.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m grateful for the era we just had and knew it had to come to an end but not to this England team, not being blown off the park on the final day of a test.

England appear to be on the way up, meanwhile the Black Caps look dazed and confused from their rapid descent.

Johnsonville no match for Petone after long week

By Jacob Page

Three games in seven days appeared to take their toll on Johnsonville as they fell 72-8 to Petone, on Saturday.

It came after Wednesday night’s 41-21 loss to Hutt Old Boys’ Marist where Johnsonville were finishing the game stronger before it was called off 25 minutes early due to a serious injury to a HOBM player.

The results mean Johnsonville will play in the Hardham Cup following their Old Timers Day encounter with Oriental Rongotai at Helston Park on Saturday.

Petone shored up their first round title credentials with a 72-8 win over the Johnsonville Hawks at home at the Petone Recreation Ground.

Fullback Ben Brooking scored four tries, while Cam Ferreira and Richard Evans both scored two of Petone’s

12 tries.

Johnsonville winger Knox Tuinasau scored the Hawks’ lone try and Niall Delahunt kicked a penalty.

Coach Jason Adamson says it had been a trying stint for the team.

“It’s certainly had its moments,” Jason says.

We felt we were getting back into the contest on Wednesday night before the injury and then on Saturday we just struggled to handle their attack.”

He says lock Anthony Pettett impressed after a long lay-off and could provide a valuable asset in the Hardham Cup. “We aren’t looking beyond Ories but if we can get fit in time for the Hardham Cup, then I think we can give that competition a real go.

“It’s been ages since Johnsonville had any silverware and this team feels they can change that.”

Chatham Cup takes centre-stage

By Grant Stephen

North Wellington’s Ahmed Othman looks for space during his team’s 6-1 Chatham Cup defeat to Wellington Olympic at Alex Moore Park, on Saturday.

Photo: Wareham Sports Media.

Top level local football around the country hit the pause button last weekend as the national men’s and women’s knock out competitions played out another round, with the few becoming even fewer.

In the Kate Sheppard Cup, there was a shock result with the evergreen local women’s team, Wellington United, becoming unstuck against fellow W League and title contender, Palmerston North Marist.

Full time was locked up at 2 all and it was Marist who prevailed on penalties, winning by 6 goals to 5. Waterside Karori continue to emerge as part of the new world order in regional football with a convincing 3-0 win over Petone.

Waterside are the only local team now amongst the 8 contenders still in the hunt for the prize.

In the men’s competition, the Chatham Cup, there’s still a lot of water to go under the bridge.

Unfortunately for TFS North Wellington FC, their title ambitions came to a sticky end with a 6-1 loss at home to Wellington Olympic.

Without the benefit of a hair loss remedy, Norths were too thin on top.

Going into the sheds at 1-0 down at the break, gave no indication as to what was to be unleashed in the second spell.

A single goal to Dan Allan for Norths was a delightful piece of work but this was tragically undone by an own goal plus 5 more across regular intervals from Olympic.

The post-match speeches recognised Olympic as likely the best club side in the country and the depth within their squad can only be admired.

It was happy hunting for Napier City Rovers who kept their title hopes alive with a 7-0 demolition of Wellington United at Park Island.

Lower graded Wellington Marist’s hopes of progression were dashed by their bigger cousin, Western Suburbs, who prevailed 5-1. Miramar Rangers had plenty in the tank as well when they eased past Island Bay United, 3-1.

The bigger guns who have made it through to the next round from outside the Wellington region include Melville United, Eastern Suburbs, Auckland City, Auckland United, Nelson Suburbs, Cashmere Technical and Green Island.
