Stories worth telling giving Emily Ireland Susan Rutene believes everyone has a story. And it’s her job at Hospice Wairarapa to document the life stories of patients. Susan has been involved with Hospice Wairarapa since before it was officially established. She trained as a hospice biographer in 2010 and is now the leader of a team of eight experienced biographers locally. There are many reasons a patient may want to do a biography. For some it is a form of therapy. “A lot of them have some great history they are wanting to pass on to future generations,” Susan said. “It adds value and significance to their life. “But, sadly many people leave it too late.” She said it usually took five to six weeks to record a person’s biography, which is printed by Hospice Wairarapa and given to loved ones in

hard copy and on USB. Some of these biographies end up being just a few pages, but can be as big as 100 pages or more, she said. It was all up to what the patient wanted to share and how much time they had with the biographer. “It’s a real privilege,” Susan said about being a hospice biographer. “Often, the patient will tell you something that they’ve never told anyone before — even the family don’t have any idea sometimes. “That’s such an honour that they feel they can trust you with that.” Susan said some patients wanted to share just portions of their lives, whereas others preferred the biography to be chronological. “The most important part about the biography is that it’s the patient’s story and it’s what they want. “We’re not after the perfect story — we’re after their story.

Youth rises above to succeed Emily Ireland

When the Taratahi Institute of Agriculture went into liquidation last year, 16-year-old Zinny Jensen was at a loss as to what his future would hold. Zinny left school at the age of 15 and has been working closely with Wairarapa Youth Service for a few years. Based in Carterton, Wairarapa Youth Service works with young people not enrolled in education, employment, or training, and provides them with guidance, support, and encouragement to help reenter them into education or employment. Zinny is one of more than 100 youths on Wairarapa Youth Service’s client list locally. Through the Youth Guarantee initiative, Zinny had started his studies at Taratahi before it went into liquidation. “When Taratahi closed down, I thought I wasn’t going to get anywhere,” he said. Fortunately for Zinny, his youth coach Abby Cooper was on hand to keep Zinny’s dreams of working in the farming industry alive.

Abby said. “We’ve had to jump through some hoops, but Zinny kept coming back with his passion and we kept working together. “Zinny knows what he wants. We weren’t going to give up.” She said Zinny had massive support from his family and from Wairarapa Youth Service. If there are any potential farmers that are recruiting young staff or looking to employ Zinny, they can contact Wairarapa Youth Service manager Tere Lenihan on 021509493.

She had him enrolled into other courses and through Ag Challenge, Zinny achieved his New Zealand Certificate in Primary Industry Skills (Level 1 and 2) and graduated in April this year. Zinny’s skills include rural health and safety, farm fencing, and livestock

management. Abby, Zinny’s youth coach, said over the time that Zinny had been involved with Wairarapa Youth Service, a few plans for his education had fallen through for him, “but the onus was on the education providers”. “The saddest thing is, no one has really seen the

opportunities that were taken away from the kids as a result. “What Taratahi offered these kids in the way of farming, no one has replaced it. “Ag Challenge did a good job, but there were major differences between what the education providers offered.”

Everyone has a story to share giving

At the beginning of all biographies, which are often referred to as “life reviews”, the patient signs

a consent form to instruct the biographers what is to happen with the story if they die before completion. “Sometimes the patient dies before the story is complete and the biographer will aim to have a draft available to the family if they request it so that it can be used during the funeral service.” And the job of a hospice biographer doesn’t necessarily mean they will strictly be writing a biography. Often they are tasked with writing letters to loved ones instead. “There might be someone who wants us to write a letter for their grandchild’s

Now, Zinny is linked up with the Licence 2 Work programme, run by Youth in Education Training or Employment (YETE). Through this, he has made a CV, cover letter, and has work experience lined up in Carterton. “I’ve learned the most important thing is to not give up on our youth,”

On Friday at 7pm, a quiz night will be held at St Mark’s Church Hall in Carterton to raise money for Youth Service. To book tickets or a table, contact Annie on 027 3455 744, or contact the Wairarapa Safer Community Trust Facebook page. Pre-purchased tickets are $10 per person with a maximum of five people per team. There will be a cash bar with beer, wine, nonalcoholic drinks, and cheese platters. There will also be a silent auction and raffle.

Missing tramper The search for a tramper in the Tararua Ranges believed missing since Sunday was still ongoing at time of publication. About 50 people, including Police, NZDF staff, and LandSAR volunteers, were out searching yesterday, following a full day of searching on Monday and on Sunday. The Wellington-based UK man was completing the Northern Crossing, setting from the Levin side on Tuesday, and was expected to finish around noon on Saturday. When he failed to arrive at Mt Holdsworth near Masterton his

partner raised the alarm, prompting a search and rescue operation. The tramper signed a logbook at Arete Hut, at around the mid-point of the tramp, but no other log books had been signed in other huts. There had been no contact since Thursday morning when he texted his partner. The bulk of the search will be focused on the area between Arete Bivvy and Tarn Ridge Hut, on Mt Holdsworth. Concerns for the man remain high due to recent weather conditions.

Advocate for Pompe honoured Eli Hill

Despite her tireless advocacy for people with Pompe, Masterton woman Allyson Lock said she was surprised to be made a member of the New Zealand Order of Merit. “I thought that was only for special people,” said Lock, who was nominated for her services to people with rare disorders. In 2010, Lock was diagnosed with the fatal Pompe disease which weakens people’s core muscles making it difficult to breathe. It also affects the legs. When Lock found out that Myzome, which she says is the only drug available to combat the effects of Pompe, wasn’t funded by the government she made a promise to

herself that she wouldn’t give in until the treatment was funded by Pharmac. Lock is the president of the New Zealand Pompe Network, a charity which she founded and one which she says can often be like working a full-time job. Her work involves advocating for enzyme replacement therapy, staging an awareness campaign during the 2017 New Zealand General Election. She has also sat on the board of Amicus Therapeutics for five years as a patient advisory member. In 2018, she helped set up a patient support organisation for sufferers of gaucher disease in Australia, using her expertise from setting up the New Zealand Pompe

Network. Lock said finding out who’d nominated her for the award made it even

more special. “I was nominated by a dear friend who passed away two months ago.

“He would’ve known that I had been chosen before he passed so I’m glad he got to know that.

“There were also two references, my doctor in Florida and a friend in Canada who is head of the Canadian Association of Pompe. “It’s special that those three were involved in setting it up. “I told my son about this, he said bet in a million years you never thought you’d get it, and he’s right I never did.” Even so, Lock, who is always fighting for those with Pompe, said she’d trade it all to have the drug she needs to stay alive funded by the government. “I’d like to extend an invitation to the Prime Minister from me. “Would she swap my honour for Myzome to be funded? “That’s a serious offer.”

Lifetime of working with dogs rewarded Pam Graham Pat Dance of Featherston was absolutely mortified to be contacted about becoming a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to the New Zealand Kennel Club. “It took me ages to say ‘yes’ because there are so many other people, always aren’t there that do things – masses of people who have done lots of things. “The thing that swayed me is I believe this is the first time our sport has ever been acknowledged in this way. “It puts our sport on a level with rugby, hockey and netball,” she says. Dance has held numerous leadership positions in the kennel club since joining in 1971, supporting educational activities for judges and stewards, and becoming the first woman to manage the National Dog Show. She was a mediator of disputes between clubs and members throughout the country and played key roles when the national organisation went through

a difficult time. Last year she formed Pedigree Dogs New Zealand to educate people about pedigree dogs. It’s been a life of loving dogs. “I think I showed my first dog when I was six, that would have been in 1956,” she says. It was in England and the dog was a Cairn Terrier, a breed she still has today. She came to New Zealand in 1971, living first in Dunedin. Showing dogs in New Zealand was really enjoyable because it was smaller, and it was something that everyone could compete in. “It was more expensive in England. It was very much a welcoming family situation here.” She lived for many years in Wellington and moved to Featherston recently. During her show career she achieved two to three

Best of Show awards with Cairn Terriers. “It was amazing then because it was a breed that seldom won, and it was quite exciting”. She had to give up dog showing and judging after

back surgery in about 1990 but continued with the sport as an administrator. “I had a judging appointment in Australia and all I could think about was my back, so I thought pack it in.” She judged shows for about 10 years, including several appointments in Australia. So, why did she form Pedigree Dogs New Zealand? She says the New Zealand Kennel Club is for all dogs and encompasses agility, obedience and confirmation, which is dog showing. “I formed pedigree dogs because I wanted to assist Dogs NZ to look after our breeds. It is not working with them, not against them.” She says there is so much bad publicity about

pedigree dogs. “We need to show the public there are a lot of really good breeders doing wonderful health testing and making the breed really fit and healthy and that is my mission in life.” The organisation does pet expos and has handouts to explain about pedigree dogs. Dance says a pedigree dog should be a first choice. “If not then rescue, rescue, rescue.” She says crossbreed dogs often, but not always, come from puppy farms which should not be encouraged. “We say these are the reasons pedigrees are good, and if not, there are masses of dogs to rescue. I work quite closely with HUHA (Helping You Help Animals).” She says dog showing in New Zealand is nothing like it was. While there are no professional handlers as in other countries people have become more professional in their approach, partly because

so much money is at stake. It can cost $25,000 to import a pedigree dog. If you spend that much you want a dog to do well at a show. “It has changed but life has changed in most things,” she says. She enjoyed her time as a mediator of disputes. “In the kennel club there is always a fight,” she says with a laugh. “I liked it. I am a nurse, so I am quite good at mediating.” Her wish is that young people keep coming into dog showing. She says, “youngsters have so many choices now” and “you can’t stick a dog in a cupboard like golf clubs”. There are an awful lot of people doing a lot of work behind the scenes to keep dog showing going and the sport needs administrators to come through as well as competitors. “I like to think the children sit there and look, and think ‘I’ll have a go’.”

Now that’s cool!

The three Wairarapa councils are asking people to join them in doing “just one thing” for the good of the environment today to celebrate World Environment Day. Zero waste coordinator for the three Wairarapa councils, Jo Dean, has been helping educate people on what can and can’t be recycled, and the ways we can avoid using materials which will end up in the landfill. “Not all plastics are made the same,” said Jo. “With the recycling markets constantly changing, there is currently nowhere in New Zealand or overseas our councils are able to send their plastics numbered 3-7s to be processed for recycling, so they are

either being stored or sent to landfill. “Luckily, these plastics are things such as gladwrap and single use plastic bags which make up less than 5 per cent of what Wairarapa residents put in their recycling.” An easy way to remember it is to think about plastics as recyclable, reusable or disposable. Plastics numbered 1 and 2, such as milk bottles and soft-drink bottles are recyclable, whereas single use soft plastic packaging is disposable. “The good news is, we can all still buy our favourite products and just ask for them to be put into our reusable containers instead,” Jo said.

Remembering to use a keep cup when you buy a takeaway coffee, taking your own container to the butcher or remembering your lunch box when buying takeaways are all ways people can reduce waste to landfill. The councils will be putting together recycle and reuse tips on their websites and Facebook pages this week, as well as an educational video on identifying what is recyclable, reusable and disposable. There will also be a competition which will reward people for their photos embracing the “just one thing” environment campaign, as well as a colouring-in competition for kids.

Homeless shelter needed The state of homelessness in Masterton has prompted a group of local citizens to put the call out for a building owner to come forward and provide a temporary night shelter. The group, led by Lyn Tankersley who is also the Masterton Foodbank coordinator, is increasingly concerned for the welfare and safety of people living rough, particularly now that winter is starting to bite. Contrary to what some people might think, homelessness is not just a city problem, Tankersley said.

“We know of about six people sleeping out in the open in Masterton.” A night shelter acts as a place of transition for people without a home, where they can have a degree of comfort and security. Without a stable base, homeless people have no access to social services that might otherwise enable them to begin confronting the underlying factors that have resulted in them being on the streets. The group has identified that they would need a building that is not in a residential area of Masterton, but ideally within the central

business district (CBD). “With night time temperatures already around freezing at this time of year – and it is only going to get colder – people sleeping rough are going to find it extremely difficult to get warm, dry clothing and get hot food. “We just want to see what we can do to give help and love to people who are struggling,” she says. • If you know of, or own, a potentially suitable building that could be used please contact Lyn Tankersley on 027 356 6592 or email foresthome@xtra. co.nz

QSM recipient gives back to community Eli Hill She set up Wairarapa Riding for the Disabled, has chaired Friends of Aratoi, read to the blind, volunteered at the Home of Compassion and is currently working to set up Kokomai Creative Festival 2019. Yet for all the giving she’s done, Jo Beetham finds it hard when people give back to her. In fact, Beetham said, she had to be tricked into her Queen’s Service Medal. “So, my grandson asked his grandmother what she did in retirement around volunteering for a school project, and I stupidly wrote down everything so he would have a good project. “Next thing, my daughter and long-time friends and people I’d volunteered with were colluding.” Beetham said it had been a shock when she received her letter from the government. “I didn’t know what a Queens Service Medal was particularly, I’m sure all the volunteers I work with would qualify for it as well.” The 70-year-old cites a favourite Chinese proverb: “The person who moves

a mountain begins by carrying small stones.” Beetham’s journey towards her mountain of volunteering began as an Otago University student when she spent two hours, twice a week reading to the blind. “I went looking for them, in fact I knocked on the door. It was procrastination about studying really.” After two years of reading to the blind Beetham married her ‘long suffering’ husband Monty and began work as a physiotherapist

in paediatrics and pain management. In 1972 she formed Wairarapa Riding for the Disabled with Logan Bruce and Shirley Hyde, where she volunteered one afternoon a week. “To see those kids’ progress was amazing. “An autistic child spoke for the first time. Another sat up for the first time on a horse. “I think when you’ve got time, it’s nice to share it. “Volunteering’s about people and mutual benefit,

I don’t do it to make me feel good -- its learning and actually being challenged.” From the 1980s until 1990, she volunteered at the Home of Compassion, helping children with Cerebral Palsy and spina biffida one morning a week. She’s worked as an Aratoi volunteer one morning a fortnight since 2001 and chaired Friends of Aratoi during a difficult period for the group. Between 2016 and 2018, she volunteered at Victim Support two days a week and currently spends four to five hours a day working as the chair of Wairarapa Arts Festival Trust. Beetham’s volunteering spirit is set to continue for many years to come, the mother of three and grandmother of five plans to continue until she’s 90 or more. All the time spent dragging her children around her various volunteering roles appears to have rubbed off and her children have a volunteering nature as well. “We’re all like-minded, people who volunteer, there’s a common thread. “We’re givers. We’re the oil in the engine.”

Revolutionary hearing devices break the conventional way of supporting people with hearing loss in noisy environments

Varied career rewarded Rachael Dean has been appointed a member of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to governance and the community. Dean lives in Masterton and has been a city councillor in Invercargill and has had a career in both the notfor-profit and business sector, including in Taranaki and Waikato. She has brought considerable accounting and financial expertise to a number or roles in a number of sectors and regions and has been a driving force in leading change for women. Dean was appointed to the Southland Area Health Board from 1989 to 1991, and later chaired the Patients’ Satisfaction Committee. As a first-time Invercargill City Councillor in 1992, she chaired the Rating Review Committee, successfully managing a three-year rating change project. She was appointed to the Advisory Committee of the Waikato Heath Board from 2005 to 2011.

She joined Rural Women New Zealand (RWNZ) in 2005 and worked as Regional Development Officer for the Waikato Taranaki region. In 2015 she was elected to the national board and the role of national finance chair until November 2018. She brought considerable accounting and financial expertise to the board during a period of organisational change. She was instrumental in enabling RWNZ to recover a substantial amount of debt. From 2007 to 2011 she was a board member of Diving New Zealand and a Trustee of Sport Waikato from 2011 to 2018. She was also a Board member and Deputy Chair of the Waikato Chamber of Commerce from 2013 to 2015. In 2018 she was selected for the Waikato 125 project, celebrating 125 Waikato women who have been instrumental in leading and driving change for women.

Lifelong supporter of woodchopping Steve Rendle “Woodchopping is a sport that if it gets you, it’s got you for life.” So says Masterton’s Eddie Fawcett, who received the Queen’s Service Medal [QSM] for services to the sport that “got” him 66 years ago, when as the son of a axemen he was plucked from the sidelines to make up numbers for a standing chop event at Reporoa. He hadn’t competed before, but organisers assumed he would know what he was doing. Now 81, Fawcett said his father told him to “go like buggery” – bad advice, as it happens, “That’s what I did, and I came last,” he laughs “After that, a top axeman came up and told me to slow down. “I did that and finished third in the second event. “Then he came up to me and said ‘slow down a bit more’ – and I won the third event of the day. “That gave me the taste of it.” That taste has lingered. Originally a sawdoctor, Eddie’s Tuatahi Racing Axes and Saws business, started more than 40 years ago, is renowned internationally among

woodchoppers, providing axes and saws to competitors throughout New Zealand and 30 other countries. A life member of the New Zealand Axemen’s Association, he established the Masterton Axemen’s Club and was behind the formation of the New Zealand Juniors, which promotes and develops junior woodchopping through New Zealand. “That’s what I’m most proud of,” he says. “It’s all about the junior for me. I could sit on the sideline and watch juniors all day. “I want our top competitors to have more competition, and the only way they will have that is if we have the young ones coming up.” He follows Charlie Morgan of Timaru who was awarded the Queen’s Service Medal for services to the sport in 2017. Fawcett is unstinting in his praise of Morgan, a handicapper and judge who works throughout the South Island – you get the impression he would rather talk about someone else rather than his own QSM, which he describes as “quite an honour and quite a shock”. “But it’s very good for

woodchopping.” Tuatahi is now something of a family operation with his daughter Jo, son Grant, and grandson Quintin all involved. And his latest honour certainly won’t signal any slowdown in his involvement in the sport. His support of junior woodchopping continues, and he has ideas for another innovation in future. With logs being of variable hardness, competitors are often chopping on an uneven playing field and Fawcett sees possibilities in a composite log made out of woodchips and glue. “It’s to try and make it even,” he says. “And we only use a small part of the logs we get. If we turned that timber into wood chips and used that, we would also save a lot of wood.”

ADVERTORIAL

Call to help Wairarapa elders stay connected to their community Enliven’s Kandahar Home is highlighting the importance of volunteering with the community’s elders. National Volunteer Week 2019 runs from 16-22 June and celebrates the collective contribution of the 1.2 million volunteers across New Zealand. This year’s theme is ‘Whiria te tangata – weaving the people together’, recognising that volunteering/mahi aroha and social action weave people and communities together. “Enliven volunteers make such a powerful difference every single day. They give much more than just time,” says General Manager External Relations Alisha Kennedy. “Volunteers become friends and supporters; they bring diversity, spontaneity and excitement to our rest homes”. “It’s often because of volunteer support that elders are able to keep up with their hobbies and interests, or continue to attend community meetings or clubs” says Alisha. Volunteers of all ages are always needed to help out at Enliven homes, and there’s a diverse range of roles. Enliven has volunteer gardeners, people who take residents on sight-seeing trips or to events, others who paint resident’s nails or run pamper sessions, play music or provide entertainment. Some volunteers help out with recreation activities such as the men’s shed or art and craft groups, and others provide companionship.

independence purpose trusted

Kandahar volunteer Sandy Morgan says her volunteering at the home have given her a new lease on life.

“They might visit with their children or pets, or spend one-on-one time with a resident,” explains says Alisha. “Volunteers help to bring an extra sparkle to the lives of the residents. We cannot thank them enough.” Enliven, part of the not-for-profit organisation Presbyterian Support Central, operates Kandahar Home in Masterton.

8 Wairarapa Midweek Local News Wednesday, June 5, 2019

Denial is not a river in Egypt Sometimes I get concerned that climate change deniers are short-changing themselves. Given the way things are going and the years they’ve spent in denial, they’re not going to be leaving enough time for anger, bargaining, and depression, before ultimately accepting the reality. Then there are the farmers. They hopped into anger back in 2003 when the then Labour government wanted to raise $8m a year to fund research into mitigating agricultural greenhouse gas emissions. Bill English even drove

Comment

Mike Osborne a tractor in parliament grounds brandishing the sign, “The mad cow shouldn’t have signed”. Then once they succeeded with stopping the so-called “fart tax” they dropped back into denial. Recently they jumped to bargaining putting forward a case for treating methane emissions diﬀerently to other greenhouse gases. Good grief! Can’t they just follow the standard

cycle (tiny.cc/GriefCycle)? Some people think denial is a river in Egypt but they’re just wet Parisians, insane. River puns are vulgar. If, like Duﬀy, you’re begging me for Mersey you’ll be pleased to know there’s a ﬁnite number of them: seven. Wye? Who knows, Yukon check for yourself but I wouldn’t be Avon you on. One of the three

demands of climate change activist group Extinction Rebellion is that the government tells the truth about the current status and the likely outcomes and impacts of our current emissions path. But, can the populace handle it? I’ll give you an example. This example is a threat so severe that you won’t ﬁnd it on a NIWA map or any of the Greater Wellington Regional Council projections for the Wairarapa. You may be thinking about diminished rainfall, prolonged drought even or biblical rainfall with

ﬂooding and high wind events. Nope. These are certainly issues of concern but not on the scale I’m talking about. This is far worse. Australians. They’re already leaving their mainland, the one that’s girt by sea, for Tassie (tiny. cc/Tassie) and a few of them are already sneaking over here. What’s now a trickle will turn into a deluge of thong-wearing, motor mouths clutching their eskies full of Fosters and lamingtons Ozsplaining how they invented the pavlova, Crowded House is the greatest Australian

band ever, and fair suck of the sav Smithy and Warner were hard done by mate. Faster than you can say Oodnadatta, you’ll spot the old school boomers with their tucker bags full of Chiko rolls, Tim Tams, and chateau cardboard. When you think of Australia’s contribution to modern civilisation, undoubtedly the invention of the cardboard wine cask stands out supreme. Or maybe Kylie? Norman Gunston? Some days I don’t want to think about climate change. Then the ockers start turning up, but.

Bryan’s service to region more than fighting fires

Carterton

Chris Cogdale When Bryan Styles was encouraged by his then boss Gary Smith and some mates to join the Carterton Volunteer Brigade in 1980, he never thought that 39 years later that he would receive the Queen’s Service Medal [QSM]. If being offered the QSM came as a big surprise, finding out about it had its own twist “I never expected it whatsoever. “I was actually in Melbourne at the time and was speaking to my daughter at home and she said a letter came from parliament.” “I thought it was from an MP so I got her to open it so she could throw it out. “When she told me what it said, I told her to seal back the envelope and not tell anyone.” Styles is Chief Fire Officer of the Carterton brigade and is a life member and former Vice President (2013) and President (2014) of the United Fire Brigades’ Association (UFBA) of New Zealand. He was also a member

Styles has advocated for all 585 member brigades and fire forces on various New Zealand Fire Service committees and interest groups. He has also been a trustee of the UBFA Benevolent Fund, which provides financial assistance to firefighters and their families in times of financial stress. The sporting side of the fire brigade was something that Styles relished, not surprising given the competitive nature of “Womble”, as he is affectionately known. As well as being a member of the Carterton team that won the national fire brigade waterway championships, Styles was a more-than-useful rugby prop forward, having represented WairarapaBush in 104 games from 1982, and the province’s first division heyday, through to 1997.

The camaraderie, the friends I’ve made all over New Zealand. If something goes wrong there’s always a fire brigade mate to help out. The competitive nature even extended to Styles tackling the notorious Auckland Sky Tower run, although he admits he walked most of the 1103 individual steps. “It took me just under 20 minutes and the last few ﬂights there are more steps, so I was just about crawling when I got to the top.” Styles said there have been some hard moments as a volunteer ﬁreman. “The Carterton balloon

crash (in which 11 people died in 2012) took a huge emotional toll on the brigade over the following 12 months, but our camaraderie pulled us through.” He said the role of a volunteer fireman has changed over the past 39 years. “There’s a lot of medical callouts, like CPRs, car crashes, and other rescue work, and the fire part is only a small part of it.” But it’s the mates he has made that he relishes most. “The camaraderie, the friends I’ve made all over New Zealand. “If something goes wrong there’s always a fire brigade mate to help out.” Styles and his wife Melissa run The Workshop behind the Carterton Mobil Service Station, where you’ll see “Womble” with his head buried under a truck bonnet or doing another wheel alignment.

At Roseneath Lifecare we pride ourselves on providing a warm, inviting home away from home environment for all of our residents. We offer a broad range of specialised care from rest home, hospital, dementia, short term/long care, day care, palliative care and health recovery.

HEALTH MATTERS

MATTERS Warm up and keep active this winter

Wednesday, June 5, 2019 Wairarapa Midweek

AVOID SPORTS INJURIES THIS SEASON

Winter is a time when we tend to rug up and stay inside. But keeping active and getting lots of fresh air are key ways to stay well during the colder months. Here are some tips to keep you and your family on the move: n Build exercise into your day by planning walking meetings or parking the car further away from work or school each day.

n Turn outside chores such as

stacking firewood or collecting leaves into a game and get the whole family involved.

n Try something new – download a

fitness app, join a social sports team or explore a new playground.

n Find a walking or exercise buddy

to keep you motivated and make exercise fun.

n Get the kids to take exercise breaks when they’re having screen time. Check out apps such as GoNoodle or Just Dance Kids for more active online time.

If you’re finding it hard to get started, talk to your medical centre about the free Green Prescription service.

Here are some tips to keep you off the bench and in the game this sports season: n Warm up before matches or exercise. n Cool down and stretch afterwards. n Drink water before, during and after sport. n Wear a mouthguard, shin pads and other protective gear. n Watch out for others on the field or court. n Exercise in between games to keep fitness levels up. If you do get an injury, call your medical centre first to see if they can help. Medical centre staff can treat a range of sports injuries including sprains and wounds.

n Try out some of our great local

What to do when life gives you lemons When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. I’m sure this is a saying we’ve all heard, but what does it really mean? Does it mean to make something sweet of a sour situation? Yes. But also, I think it means that when life throws us a sour situation, we need to understand that sometimes life does that and the only thing we can do is change our response to the situation. But we also need to realise that we can’t always make a sour situation sweet. Sometimes, instead of making lemonade, maybe all we need to do is add those lemons to a salad and carry on. On a different topic, let me just acknowledge the awesome people who work tirelessly to make New Zealand the amazing place it is to live in. I’m talking about our Wairarapa people who were acknowledged on this year’s Queen’s Birthday

CUTIE OF THE WEEK Piece of mind

Emily Ireland Honour’s List. Each of their stories are highlighted in this week’s Wairarapa Midweek, but Allyson Lock, who I’ve interviewed a few times over the years, being made a member of the New Zealand Order of Merit, was the happiest news for me. Allyson is the sort of person that uses lemons to make both lemonade and salads. Diagnosed with the fatal Pompe disease which weakens people’s core muscles making it difficult to breathe, she has used those lemons to advocate for other New Zealanders living with Pompe. When I first met Allyson, I knew straight away we’d get on – she’s a cat person. And by cat person, I mean she has a lot of them,

all very cute. She’s got ponies, chickens, all sorts. But most importantly, she’s got guts. She’s not afraid to stand up for what she wants, and she’s even challenged Jacinda Ardern upon being made a member of the New Zealand Order of Merit. She said she’d trade it all to have the drug she needs to stay alive funded by the government. “I’d like to extend an invitation to the Prime Minister from me. “Would she swap my honour for Myzome to be funded? “That’s a serious offer.” We should all be more like Allyson and use the lemons in our life as lessons and experience that enable us to help others.

Adele Pentony-Graham Buy glass containers, can be crushed to a recycle bin for future use! Katy Jones Rinse anything which could be a health hazard to recycle. E.g. rotten milk in bottles, bloody meat trays, food waste inside or on. Sophia MacPherson Used to crush everything but watched a documentary showing

that the machines don’t recognize the crushed item and it ends up in landfills. Haven’t done it since. Do not rinse recyclables as it wastes water however, I wash them at the end of the dishes, so it doesn’t matter if water gets yuck. Robert Mackenzie Don’t manufacture or sell products or food in packaging that’s not reusable or recyclable. Butchers used to sell meat wrapped in paper. Groceries were carried home in paper bags, rubbish bags were made of paper.

MASTERTON TRAMPING CLUB

Mitre Flats working bee Jason Christensen Over the weekend of May 4-5, seven members of the Masterton Tramping Club headed to Mitre Flats for a working bee. Jason cheated and arrived the day before on the helicopter but had to unload two loads of firewood and start the cleaning before the others arrived on Saturday morning. We all set about to clean and prepare the underside on the porch area around the two sides of the hut. We have now painted it white from the old flaking polyurethane and, as you will see by the photos on Facebook, it looks really good. When the temperature got too cold outside to paint, some moved inside to paint the underside of the bunks a dark green colour to cover up all the graffiti. The new hut history sign and pin board were installed in the hut. The tracks into and away from the hut were weed-eatered and the area around the hut also. It was then onto the long three-course dinner which was a very good spread supplied by all. I am sure we all ate too much.

Mitre Flats Hut.

The Masterton Tramping Club had a successful working bee weekend at Mitre Flats Hut last month. PHOTOS/SANDRA BURLES

A slower start in the morning as we had other trampers sleeping in the hut. A great feed of bacon, eggs, and sausages on toast was available for everyone. Way too much food again. The morning saw us apply the second coat

of paint to both jobs as well as a number of hut maintenance jobs that were on the list to do (window latches, tank drainage). After a quick lunch, we packed up and headed back to the road end. Another very successful working bee weekend at Mitre Flats Hut.

This adorable pair are brother and sister. Theo is on the right and Nyx is on the left. Little Theo had a rough start and likes to believe he is “tough”. Protective of his sister, he will often give a little “hiss” when a new hand approaches and then start purring within seconds of being touched. He loves to head-butt your face for attention and tries to settle high on your chest for cuddles. When in a comfortable environment, he is a playful and curious little kitten. Named after the Greek Goddess of Night, all black Nyx is a shy wee girl who loves to play with her siblings. She is a bit timid in new environments, but once settled in she loves to “flop” on your arm for a head scratch and a purr. A bit overshadowed by her rambunctious sister, Nyx is still gaining her confidence … but, with a little affection, she is learning to trust and is becoming a loving, playful little kitten. Theo and Nyx are bonded and will need to be adopted together. Theo and Nyx are about 10 weeks old. They have been desexed, vaccinated and flea treated/wormed. We can offer a discount on microchipping, so they’ll come back to you. Their adoption fee is $140 each.

Spot the Northern Crown Sky Watch

Nick Sault Last week we found the Southern Crown – Corona Australis. This week, we will look for the northern one – Corona Borealis. There is a very easy marker for ﬁnding the Northern Crown – via Boötes, the Herdsman (pronounced boo-oh-tees). We only just get to see the whole Boötes constellation as it crosses the northern sky in our mid-winter evenings. However, its brightest star, Arcturus, also the fourth brightest star in the sky, is at the southern part of Boötes, and is easily visible. So, you should easily locate the orange giant Arcturus, as it rises in the north-east soon after dark and is due north after 9pm. Corona borealis rises behind Boötes at about 7pm but give it until at least 9pm to identify its tiara formation of stars, when it is a little higher above the north-east horizon. It is a little easier to see its tiara shape than its

southern counterpart, but you will still need to be in a dark place. There are seven stars making up the shape. The brightest, the bluewhite Alphecca, is about as bright as the stars of the southern cross, but the other six are much dimmer. Alphecca is actually two stars, termed a binary, and the pair are about 75 lightyears away. Binary stars are gravitationally connected to each other. People often say they revolve around each other, or the smaller one revolves around the larger one. Both descriptions are oﬀ the mark, as the reality is that they revolve around a point that is their centre of gravity. Centre of gravity is an easy concept really. Think of metal bar with a 2kg weight welded on one end and a 1kg on the other. The centre of gravity of this system would be the point at which you could balance the bar, which would be much nearer the

bigger weight. Same goes for stars and planets gravitationally connected. The centre of gravity of a star twice as large as its companion star is much closer to the larger star, and they will both revolve around that point. The eﬀect gets really weird when one member

of a binary system is very much larger than the other. We don’t have to go very far to come up with an example. The Earth is about 80 times the mass of its moon, which results in the centre of gravity of the Earthmoon system residing so much nearer the Earth,

that it is located just inside the Earth. This means that technically the moon does not revolve around the Earth, but around their centre of gravity, while the Earth does a little jiggle around that point over the course of the 29-day lunar month. Next week: Space health.

Quiz night set to entertain A Pasifika-themed quiz night could be the next best thing to lying on the hot sand in Samoa with tropical waters lapping at your feet. The Makoura College event – on Friday June 28 – combines the usual quiz night formalities with live Pasifika song and dance performances making for a quiz night like no other. The occasion is a key part of fundraising efforts for an end of year student trip to Samoa to volunteer at the Campus of Hope on the island of Upolu. There are 25 students going on the 10-day trip where they will spend about a week at Campus of Hope, an organisation caring for children who have been victims of abuse and abandonment. While they are there, the students will help with various charity projects and spend time with the children being cared for at the facility.

Makoura College teacher and ‘poly-club’ tutor Jann Molesi says the students are super excited about the upcoming performance.

“With a couple of other gigs to do, we have cranked up practices, so the students are going to be really humming by the time the quiz night comes

around,” Jann says. “It might be the middle of winter outside, but inside the hall it’s going to feel like you are living the island dream when our

poly-group get going.” The night will begin with some performances ahead of the quiz getting underway. Midway through the evening, there will be more Pasifika song and dance as well as an auction with some great items going under the hammer. It promises to be an unforgettable evening, not to mention the perfect opportunity to show off your general knowledge in the quiz. “So, wrap around your lavalava, pop a flower in your hair and get along to the Makoura College quiz night on Friday June 28,” organisers say. • Doors open at 6pm. • Teams of 4-6 people, $10 per head. • Phone (06)378-6074 ext 733 or email myracoley@mc.school. nz to register your team.

Sky’s the limit Every weekend, students from Kuranui College are given the unique opportunity to reach new heights. Weather permitting, the college’s Aviation Club heads to the Greytown Soaring Centre at Papawai to fly in an ASK13 glider with their instructor Vern Grant. Grant’s aim is for all of his students to have their solo licences by the end of the year. “A single 10 to 20-minute flight normally costs around $150, but each student can fly multiple times, without any of the worry of cost, as they work their way towards their solo gliding licence,” said Grant. Kuranui College is one of only three colleges in New Zealand and the only secondary school in the country to offer glider flight training at NCEA. The course provides NCEA credits which go towards the National Certificate in Aviation

New members of the Kuranui Aviation Club Charlie O’Connell, Patel Schenk, Jessica O’Neill, Joshua Wiegman, Oliver Sandall and instructor Vern Grant. PHOTO/CATHERINE ROSSITER-STEAD

Level 2, but these are merely a bonus given the opportunity to enjoy the wonders of flight and the chance to learn exceptional aviation skills. Last year Joshua Wiegman won a competition run by Youth Gliding New Zealand which resulted in the two Kuranui students winning a day of gliding at the centre. Wiegman is now a dedicated member of the club. “When we’re at the airfield and are not flying, there are still heaps of things to do, from helping to maintain the gliders and the clubhouse, to assisting with the launching,” Wiegman said. “We launch not by plane but by winch. “A winch is a big machine at the end of the runway with a long cable attached to it. “The cable is also hooked onto the glider. “The glider then gets pulled up by the winch

amazingly fast. “Some people say it’s the same feeling of G-force as being in a Formula One car. “Once high enough in the air, the cable is released by the pilot. “From then on, it’s just hoping to ﬁnd a thermal that gets you up even higher.” Grant retired from his full-time teaching position at Kuranui last year, but he still loves to share his passion with the students. He comes in each week to teach the Aviation Club students, both in the skies and in the classroom. They learn about civil aviation rules and laws, history of aviation, and units on gliding. “As a hobby, or a career, ﬂight is an experience like no other, and Kuranui students are determined to make the most of every opportunity which comes their way,” Grant said. “Only the sky is their limit.”

Buddying and self-esteem Volunteering Wairarapa

Young people spoke out about climate justice at the Student Strike for Climate Action on May 24 at the Masterton Town Square. PHOTO/FILE

Jill Greathead Thank you Wairarapa community for supporting our Joseph Moloughney Young Volunteer Collaboration Launch. The feedback is positive so we hope that the interest in ‘buddied volunteering’ will continue as a community response to youth unemployment. A video is on our Facebook Page – Volunteering Wairarapa for those who missed it. After the launch, someone commented to me – ‘I wonder what sort of world these young volunteers will inherit?’ My immediate and heartfelt response was, “If we continue the way we are going, that is a very scary thought”. It struck me, that all of us who are not ‘youth’ must be part of the change needed for humanity’s future. As an optimist, I feel we are going to succeed, but my practical nature kicks in and asks, “Where is this grand plan to stop wars, stop the destruction of our natural world, stop political corruption and stop the increasing wealth gap?”. I turned to a book called

‘A Call for Revolution’ written by Soﬁa StrilRever from conversations with the Dalai Lama and published last year (a small book of 89 pages) for some welcome inspiration for a solution. The Dalai Lama speaks about the dawning of a new era of peace and dialogue which he calls the ‘Revolution of Compassion’. He believes that we can all train ourselves in the art of compassion, love, and happiness. I believe this book provides the plan for the change we need to make. Empowering our young people through buddied volunteering is a great start on that journey. Last week, I met David Ansley, who is a leadership coach. Having been a business owner for over 30 years, David wants to give back to community and share learnings from his life experience. David is presenting a free seminar called ‘The Practice of Self-Esteem’ which is being held at the Wairarapa Community

DE I W E % STOR LE A 15 OFF S E K A T ne K u C J O f T o S d n e e h until t cept Bikes) (ex

Centre next Tuesday, June 11, from 9am to 11.30am. This seminar is relevant for those of us who are ready to grow our conﬁdence, motivation, and focus for a better future. David’s goal is to enable people to grow and succeed. To enrol on this free seminar please email david@ focusleadershipcoaching. com. It is only when we have self-esteem that we can practice the art of compassion, love and happiness. I attended the Student Strike for Climate Action on May 24 at the Masterton Town Square where young volunteers, with support from buddies, demonstrated the need for humanity to wake up to our climate crisis.

The world that these young people will inherit is uncertain, but if we can support all young people to master self-esteem, then they will have the confidence to speak out with the passion I watched at the Schools Strike. If you know people, young and old, who could benefit from increasing their self-esteem then please encourage them to attend this free seminar to take the first step to grow in confidence to speak out in support of truth and justice towards a ‘revolution of compassion’. • If you want to help our young people through buddied volunteering, please call me on 0274 884 376 and we will book you in for a volunteer chat to find out how you can make a difference in their lives.

Songs from the garden Dear friends, Do you ever hear a beautiful noise in the forest and think it’s a bellbird? Me too! Right now, the tui are out in force, mimicking us korimako and driving us all around the bend! Why? Even though it isn’t winter yet, we are already getting ready for spring. We are listening out for potential mates so you can just imagine our disappointment when we realise that the beautiful melody we’ve heard is coming not from a female bellbird but from a tui! We breed in spring and summer, building our nests from twigs and grass. We usually lay three or four eggs each time (this is called a “clutch”), and it only takes about 15 days

until the chicks hatch. We have a beautiful melody – in fact, we are often the first birds singing in the dawn chorus. People named us ‘bellbirds’ in English because the three distinct tones we make sound a bit like bells. Our songs are so famous that you may have heard the saying in te reo, “he rite ki te kopara e ko nei i te ata”, which means “it is like the bell-bird singing at dawn”. When the Europeans first arrived in New Zealand, the sound of the birds was deafening. Joseph Banks, the naturalist travelling with Captain James Cook, described them

Korimako the bellbird. PHOTO/TARA SWAN

as “the most melodious wild music I have ever heard, almost imitating

small bells, but with the most tunable silver imaginable”. We live throughout Aotearoa, from the forest to your everyday kiwi garden, but we are vulnerable. Like our native brethren, we often fall victim to introduced predators like mustelids and cats, though we aren’t at risk like our forest friend the kokako. Come and see us for yourself in the free flight at Pukaha! Or – better

still – plant flowering trees in your garden so that we can come feast on the nectar! From, Korimako the bellbird Contributed by Helen Cordery • The Wairarapa Midweek has partnered with Pukaha National Wildlife Centre to put a spotlight on wildlife conservation efforts locally and allow readers to get up close and personal with New Zealand’s amazing native species.

Pam Torrington – former adviser to the Bristol City Council in England on how schools should teach children about different faiths. PHOTO/SUPPLIED

Multifaith teaching Given the tragedy in Christchurch on March 15, it is timely that this Sunday afternoon, the subject of multifaith religious education for all children in multicultural New Zealand is one of the topics to be discussed at an event in Masterton. The event, hosted by XploratioNZ, a diverse non-denominational group interested in matters relating to Christian and other faiths, will be held at CrossWays Church, Queen St, at 3.30pm.

Pam Torrington will be speaking on her decade long experience as adviser to the Bristol City Council in England on how schools should teach children about different faiths. As well as her belief in the importance of multifaith religious education for all children, Pam’s talk will also explore the similarities and differences between the major world faiths through the use of religious artefacts, as well as the underlying spirituality of

us all, whether we have a faith or none. Born in Jordan to New Zealand parents, Pam has lived in Tanzania and Nigeria as well as the UK. After studying for a degree in archaeology, she taught humanities and religious education for many years in multifaith Bristol and Bath. She has now retired and lives in Masterton. Refreshments will be available from 3pm and a gold coin koha is appreciated.

Wairarapa Women’s Centre is supporting Food Bank, a service that is run by volunteers and relies on donations. So, make your $1 count by donating a tin every time you shop. Let’s fill the Food Bank containers and fill the stomachs of our young families in need. If you are shopping and find some great bargains on tinned tomatoes or spaghetti, then add a can or two for the Food Bank. At this time of the year, there is such a demand for food parcels, and they are always wanting basic food items. Take the time to give

to families who are really struggling to make ends meet. We never know what life has ahead of us and our families in need within our community are needing more support with the cold weather approaching. If you are struggling, then contact Kim on wairarapawomen@xtra. co.nz or call into our centre. We are always working close with social service organisations within the community and be able to make sure you are able to gain support. • Kim Siemonek is the coordinator of the Wairarapa Women’s Centre.

Yee-haw for month of June Never underestimate the power of communication. Recently I realised just how many problems can be caused by simply not bothering to talk to someone and making assumptions. Quite often, those assumptions are completely wrong, and things get completely out of control. Talking and understanding other people is part of the solution, but so is being kind and understanding. We just don’t seem to have enough compassion and kindness around. My hubby is really trying to be understanding of my new pair of cowboy boots. For instance, I know they are the best thing since sliced bread but somehow, he just sees the bank statement and his compassion flies out of the window. Honestly, I can’t understand why – I really need those boots. Unfortunately, they are not quite the right type of boots to wear to the Time Travellers’ ball later this month. Maybe I will have to go and buy another pair just for that. Shoes are my little lift when I am down, and everyone needs a little lift

Sole Food

Shirley Nightingale at this time of the year when we are heading into winter with no sign of spring for at least another three months.

Saying that, I do have daffodils in flower – yay! Unfortunately, all the weeds are growing, well, like weeds, and the grass

is heading skywards and there’s no sign of the lawnmower seeing the light of day. There are also so many great things happening on the weekends that there is no chance of that grass being cut down to size. So, the events to lift you out of the winter doldrums this month begin with singing and end with

singing. A night of fun is the Talent Wairarapa Grand Final at the Carterton Events Centre on Saturday, June 8 – I will definitely be there. The singing continues with two musicals taking flight. The first at the Carterton Events Centre from June 13 to 22, and then the Rathkeale performance of Guys and Dolls at the end of the month. Of course, Matariki is drawing closer and you are allowed to practice your singing while gazing skywards. Please look up when you are out at night and appreciate those beautiful little sparkling lights. We are phenomenally lucky to live in such a dark skies environment. Recently, we had a Japanese exchange student staying with us and she was blown away by our wonderful night sky. To think that she never sees the stars where she lives because of the light pollution is incredibly sad. We don’t want to be sad, we want to be happy and live peaceful lives – well, I do anyway. Keep talking, smiling, and being kind, and we will all be much happier. Happy June everyone.

Deliver a gratitude letter Lakeview School principal TIM NELSON endeavours to learn something new every day by reading books, listening to podcasts, and engaging with a wide range of other content.

Midweek Musings

Tim Nelson Books can save a life

Jim Kwik is a renowned expert on learning. In an interview on The Goodlife Podcast, Jim shares the story of a woman he knew whose mother was given a short time to live after being diagnosed with cancer. At the time, the woman was understandably incredibly distressed and upset. Feeling helpless, she set about reading 30 books in 30 days, all about the condition her mother had and possible ways to overcome it. Much later, the woman contacted Jim with the amazing news that her mother was alive and thriving. Her view was that this was at least partly attributed to some of the actions her mother had taken as a result of the research that she had uncovered through the intensive reading; knowledge and ideas that they would otherwise have been unaware of, rather than solely relying only on others and being helpless themselves. Of course, this is an exceptional example of the beneﬁts of reading. However, it does demonstrate the information that is available and accessible to us when we need it. This could be for anything; from how to ﬁx a leaky tap to how to overcome a condition such as type 2 diabetes. It’s simply a case of looking for, reading, then applying the information.

Self-improvement

I heard an interview on

The Joe Rogan Podcast in which he interviewed Jamie Metzl, a technology futurist. A lot of what Jamie spoke about related to the future of humans, from his perspective, in the not too distant future. Putting all of the controversy aside, he feels that there will be a lot of advantages that some in the future will have because of what can be determined and prevented before birth. In some sense, you could think that this would be the end of the story – you would be either born with or without what is really necessary to be successful. However, there are some who are born with tremendous ‘disadvantages’, but these very factors are what gives them the drive to do great things. Take Nick Vujicic, born without legs or arms yet he has gone on to become an inspiration to so many because of what he has achieved; or Nathan Charles, a professional rugby player born with Cystic Fibrosis, who has represented the Wallabies. These two are amongst many who have achieved great things, despite having the odds stacked against them from birth. What they do have is a desire to self-improve and become the very best they can be from their starting point in life.

Be First

good health and living well. When interviewed on the Tim Ferriss Podcast, Gabrielle shared one of her secrets to living well, this being to be first. By being first, Gabrielle means that she will be the one who will initiate positivity: first to greet a person on the street; first to smile at someone; first to organise an event with a friend; first to offer to help; first, in fact, to do so many of the things that we wait for others to initiate, but often don’t happen because we’re a little afraid of being rejected if we start them ourselves. Always remember, if we don’t have people going first, there’s a good chance that so many positive things will never get started.

Deliver a gratitude letter

“IT’S YOU” 149 Dixon Street, Masterton

Ordinary Moments

This idea was shared on the What You Will Learn Podcast. As I have written many times before, often it’s the simplest ideas that have the most impact, and this certainly seems to be the case with the gratitude letter in terms of the concept. However, the actual performing of the task may be a little harder as it could be a little awkward. Essentially, the gratitude letter is exactly what it

RUGBY

WAIRARAPA BUSH RU

seems – a letter expressing your gratitude to someone for something that they have done for you (or it could be many things). However, here’s the part that may be a little awkward, it needs to be hand delivered, as opposed to an email, postal letter, or any other non-face to face process. For whatever reason, research has found that the sense of wellbeing after delivering the letter will last for around 30 days, and that’s just for the person delivering the letter; it will also have a long term impact on the person who receives it.

MAJOR SPONSORS

On the Brené Brown presentation on Netﬂix, she shares an anecdote about a father who loses a child, then afterwards misses so much one of the annoying habits the child had before he died. She also shares how a daughter misses the texts that she found so annoying that she used to get from her mum, but now misses them after her mother has passed away. The point of the anecdotes is that there are so many ordinary moments that take place every day that we take for granted and they can easily just pass by without us even noticing.

However, it’s these ordinary moments that we should be grateful for, value and appreciate, because that’s what life is made up of.

How to become a sought-after expert on almost anything

Kevin Kelly is a futurist who has been the editor of Wired Magazine and is the author of the book Inevitable, a look into what he believes will happen in the future. In an interview on the What You Will Learn Podcast, he shares a strategy on what can be done to become an accomplished expert in just about anything. His suggestion is to ensure that you have access to, for example, a new piece of highly regarded software. Once you have the access, then spend a year of free time (reduce your television watching or web surﬁng by an hour a day) learning all about it, tinkering with what is can do, essentially becoming familiar with all it has to oﬀer. It’s highly unlikely that too many others will have the long-term foresight of discipline to do this, meaning that you’ll become an outlier with knowledge and skills that others would like to learn from you.

Farm sales are down slightly this year compared to the same three-month period ending April last year, according to figures from the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand [REINZ]. Nationally there were 13.4 per cent less farm sales for the three months ended April 2019 than for the three months ended April 2018. In Wairarapa the decrease was less significant with farm sales only dropping by 6.25 per cent, most apparent in the sale of dairy and finishing block properties which were down 57 and 25 per cent respectively. REINZ rural spokesperson Brian Peacocke said the data reflected a continuation of the trend in sales volumes evident over recent months. “Compared to the equivalent period in 2018, sales volumes for dairy and finishing farms are well down, while grazing units have increased, and arable and horticulture properties

are holding par.” Figures from REINZ showed lifestyle property sales were also down slightly across the region for the three months ended April 2019. In the period to the end of April last year 126 lifestyle properties were sold, compared to 99 this year. Peacocke said it had been a quiet month for farm sales in Wairarapa, with good demand under short supply conditions for sheep and beef units. He said the prospects for spring were encouraging, given the likelihood of an increased payout for dairy, and the continuation of good returns for lamb, fine wool, beef and the range of horticultural products. He also noted there had been a strong reaction in the region against the increase in sales of good pastoral properties to forestry interests with a “fired-up” action group mounting a vigorous campaign of opposition. “On a different front, major concern is erupting in the eastern regions of

Wairarapa and Wairoa as forestry interests purchase increasing areas of pastoral land for conversion to trees, thus triggering the potential for rural depopulation with the attendant impact of social and economic consequences for the smaller rural communities.” Mike Butterick, from campaign group 50 Shades of Green, said close to 300,000 stock units would be lost this year to forestry conversions in the Wairoa, Pongaroa and Wairarapa. “The problem is it is not just steep hill country being planted, it is productive farmland,” he said. “[We’re] not opposed to forestry on land appropriate for trees. We are strongly against highly productive farmland being lost to food production forever.” This month, Forestry Minister Shane Jones announced the formation of a new Ministerial advisory group to provide independent advice about the forestry sector and how Government and industry can work together to deliver outcomes for New Zealand.

The white rose remains

Wai Write

Roy Farman A few years ago, a group of us canoed down the Wanganui River from just south of Taumaranui to Pipiriki. We had read of the history of the river and its importance in early New Zealand as a route from the Central Plateau to the

sea for Maori and Pakeha alike. Also, we learned of the ‘Bridge to Nowhere’. It was put in by the Government just after the First World War to open up the area for rehab blocks for returning servicemen. Each contender for such a block had to clear an area of bush before he was allocated it. Only one family kept going until the 1940s. The Depression, climate, and isolation drove the others off. We wandered up the track which was quite narrow and after a while arrived at the bridge which was still in very good condition. It was a warm summer day and while the others decided to go on further, I sat under a Totara, admiring the beauty of the bush, the song of the variety of birds, and the humming

of insects. Suddenly, I was aware of the noise of the sheep and around a bend of track appeared a mob of hoggets being driven by a man leading a horse with a heading dog in close attendance. The man called out to me, “Can you go up the track and stop the sheep going left?”. I struggled to my feet and realised that there was a fork in the track, and it did seem much wider than before. I did as I was asked and was soon joined by the drover. He was in his 40s, bearded, and his hat, clothes, and boots had seen better days. Also, he was quite lame. “Thanks for that. I’ve just got these to start my flock,” he said, pointing to the 50 or so hoggets. Are you a swaggie.” “No,” I replied, “I had heard about the bridge and was keen to have a look at it.” He laughed – “Bit of a white elephant if you ask me. Anyway, come and have a cup of tea”. I followed him up the track and came to a whare built of pit-sawn timber and sods with an iron roof. My new friend indicated

for me to come inside and sit on a chair. His wife greeted me. “This is my wife Fanny,” he said, “Met her in the old country when I was in hospital there”. “Were you wounded in the war?” I asked. “Yes. When the war started, I was working on a cattle station in Queensland. They were recruiting for the Australian Light Horse and I had my own horse; it sounded like a bit of an adventure. Ended up in Palestine and we were involved in the capture of the wells at Beersheba. That’s where I got my bullet wound, from a Turkish sniper. When the war ended, I was in an army hospital in Yorkshire, and Fanny was a nurse. Then, I was sent back to New Zealand, and Fanny and I carried on writing to each other. She agreed to come out to marry me when I got settled. I got this rehab block, and between us we are trying to clear some of the bush.” At this stage, Fanny brought us some tea and sat down to join us. I noticed that she wore a brooch of a small white rose. “I see you carry a symbol of Yorkshire. You

must have found it hard here,” I said to her. “It has been tough, but it’s ours,” she replied, “Anything is better than a cotton or wool town”. Something tickled my face. “Were you having a good sleep?” my wife asked. I looked around. Someone had a thermos and was pouring coffee. After having a drink, I walked some 50 metres up the track and into the bush. There were a few bits of rusty iron overgrown by nettled and a rotten wooden post. Nearby was a rabbit hole and something in its entrance caught my eye. I bent down to have a look and picked up a small brooch of a white rose. • Roy is a member of the Henley Men’s Shed Writers Group and the Write On Writers Group.

people who mean business Leatherwise® Winter Care Tips

Craig Morris at Masterton Plastic Repairs has the tools and expertise to repair and maintain all plastics – whether in your home, vehicle or on the farm. No job is too big or too small.

LIGHT CLEANING*

Once a week wipe down your leather with a clean damp white cloth to remove dust and grime. Careful vacuuming with a suitable brush attachment is recommended for the removal of day-to-day dust, crumbs and minor debris from the leather surface and any crevices.

DEEP CLEANING AND PROTECTING

Once every 3-4 months, give your leather upholstery an overall deep clean using proprietary leather care products as recommended by the leather manufacturer. Natural enemies of leather are the accumulation of perspiration, dust, grime, and body oils. Pay extra attention to wear areas, i.e. arms, headrests, and cushions. After deep cleaning, remoisturise and protect your leather upholstery as directed. This keeps your leather soft, supple, and leaves a soft shine providing excellent protection against wear, soiling and spillages. This protection makes future cleaning easier. Wax oil finished leathers will require feeding periodically with an appropriate product.

Craig has many years’ experience in panel beating, spray painting and plastic welding. PROFESSIONAL CARE

There is more to effective leather cleaning than meets the eye, and doing a good job takes a great deal of effort and time. The best way to extend the life of your leather upholstery is to augment your regular cleaning with periodic visits by a LEATHERWISE® technician. * Before commencing any cleaning, always follow the leather manufacturer's care instructions, and only use proprietary leather care products approved by the manufacturer. The care tips here are a general guide only and are primarily for finished leathers.

Utd wear down students FOOTBALL

Sport

CHRIS COGDALE The Tumu ITM Wairarapa Women are through to the next round of the Kate Sheppard Cup, beating Victoria University 3-0 in a second round match on Saturday. There was plenty of emotion before kickoff with both teams observing a moment’s silence in memory of club stalwart Kerry Duncan, who died suddenly on Wednesday night. And the significance of the occasion may have got to the United women, who made a hesitant and disjointed start to the game played in cold damp conditions at Memorial Park. United dominated possession and territory but struggled to get their game together and deal with Victoria’s defensive mind set, which saw the visitors sit very deep and wait for United to make mistakes. Too often, United were guilty of poor first touches or lack of positivity, and too often, needlessly handed over possession. United finally broke through the defence after 35 minutes when usual defender Molly Woodhead, who started as striker, picked up a loose ball from a defensive mix-up in the box and drilled the ball hard and low from 16m into the back of the net to give them a 1-0 lead at halftime. The second half followed much the same pattern as the first, but the superior fitness of the United players began to show. They were rewarded after 81 minutes when right winger Dylen Kingi ran onto a beautiful ball from captain Ana McPhie and then placed a lovely cross perfectly for Meisha Boone to head past the stranded goalkeeper. That was Boone’s last action of the game. She was replaced by Darby Lambert, who put the icing on the cake in the dying minutes, when she

swooped on a loose ball in the box and finished with a lovely shot for her first W-League goal. But not before goalkeeper Courtney Norman pulled off a brilliant save when Victoria had a two-on-one, which would have brought the score back to 2-1. Coach Paul Ifill was happy with the patience

shown by his team in wearing down Victoria. “We knew they would come here and sit back, and we had to be patient

and in the end we wore them down.” Ifill was particularly impressed with Boone’s goal.

Men’s game abandoned Veteran striker Paul Ifill is hot under the collar after the Wairarapa United men’s Central League fixture against Olympic was abandoned after 32 minutes. Ifill said the match at Wakefield Park got underway in windy and rainy conditions at Wakefield Park and without no consultation with the players or coaches the referee pulled the pin. “It wasn’t dangerous and there was no surface water.

“There was a Capital 3 game on the pitch next door that went the 90 minutes.” “It’s a disgrace, and it brings into question the integrity of the league. We’ll be taking it further with the league administration.” “We will now have to play them at the end of the season when they might need a win to win the league and we might need a win to avoid relegation, and that’s not fair on other teams like Napier City Rovers

and Western Suburbs. “That’s what I mean about the integrity of the league.” At the time of the abandonment, there was no score and Ifill said United were playing probably their best football of the season. “We were playing really well with nice short sharp passing, and Olympic were just playing long balls forward in the wind and struggling with our play.”

“I’ve been urging Dylen to get wide and get the crosses into the box and she did it perfectly.” Amber Phillips was all class for the winners. The tall central defender regularly tidied up at the back, was strong in defence, and when she did push forward, she usually created problems for the Victoria defenders. Ella Innes made her starting debut in midfield and impressed with a busy game, while Izzy Fisher also showed some nice touches when came on as a late substitute. The match was also momentous for young referee Alex Dalhberg. The Makoura College student was assistant referee but had to take the whistle for the last 30 minutes when the referee limped off with a hamstring strain.
