Bringing history back to life Hayley Gastmeier Nothing much more than a stone wall remains of the Featherston Military Training Camp – an almost invisible historical landmark along State Highway 2 in Tauherenikau. Dubbed by historians as one of Wairarapa’s “most important sites”, the World War I camp was later rebuilt to become the Prisoner of War Camp that held captured Japanese soldiers during World War II. An innovative project will ensure the camps are not forgotten, with New Zealand’s largest military training camp to be recreated in 3D. The project is being spearheaded by Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga, which is holding a public meeting at Anzac Hall in Featherston on October 23 at 6.30pm to discuss the initiative with and to show designs to the Wairarapa community. Heritage New Zealand is working with Boﬀa Miskell design consultancy on the project, in consultation with South Wairarapa District Council (SWDC) and the Featherston Community Board (FCB). Heritage New Zealand is anticipating that the project will be completed sometime in 2020. The conventional portion of the project will entail landscaping, paths, and informative signs at the Messines Layby, a commemoration site with various monuments pertaining to the camps. The “cutting-edge” portion of the project will be a 3D model of the camp that will be made accessible

with a mobile phone using a quick response (QR) code. Wairarapa Archive historian Gareth Winter said it was exciting that something signiﬁcant was being done to properly mark the two camps. “This is one of Wairarapa’s most important sites and has not been given the prominence it deserves. “Tens of thousands of men trained there before going overseas, and far too many never returned to New Zealand. “Hundreds of New Zealand soldiers served as guards at the prisoner of war camp, and many prisoners, mainly Japanese, spent time there. “Heritage New Zealand’s proposals sound really good and it’s fabulous that they are involving the community.” SWDC amenities and solid waste manager Bryce Neems said the council was very supportive of the project. “It will help people visualise what the camp looked like back then. It’s keeping history alive and promoting the signiﬁcance of Featherston’s past.” Destination Wairarapa general manager David Hancock said the project demonstrated an excellent use of technology, aiding tourism. “Tourists and visitors arrive here with smartphones and this approach, using technology to bring history to life, really enhances their experience.

Arts festival comes to town Kokomai Festival starts with a hiss and a roar tomorrow, October 10, with a performance at the Tinui Hall by lead singer of the The Warratahs Barry Saunders along with Wellington musicians and singers Ebony Lamb and Caroline Easther. Pirinoa plays host to the show on Friday night. These rural performances have been the hallmark of the festival over the years. The opening weekend sees the return of a very popular festival feature – The Readers and Writers events, held at Aratoi. This year, authors speaking include founding member of Split Enz Mike Chunn, bestselling author Nicky Pellegrino and academic and writer Paula Morris in conversation with Steve Braunias. Wellington singer and actor Jane Keller will present her latest cabaret

About Kokomai:

• Kokomai Creative Festival runs from October 10-19, with more than 30 events being held at various venues across Wairarapa. • The full programme can be viewed at www.kokomai. co.nz. • The biennial Festival is guided by a board of trustees including chairperson Jo Beetham, Barbara Hyde, Chris Tracey, Marguerite Tait-Jamieson, Don Simmers, Kathryn Seagrave, and Grant Poulton. • Kokomai means to ascend, to take flight. show, ‘Sunday at Ira’s’, over the weekend. The performances will be held at Rose and Smith at Tauherenikau Race Course and Aratoi. Jane’s great aunt was a personal friend of composer Ira Gershwin and the show has been inspired by tales of his friendships with 1930s stars including Cole Porter and Noel Coward. Songs such as Gershwin’s greats: I Got Rhythm, The Man I Love, and They Can’t

Take That Away From Me, feature in the show and will be sure to resonant with audiences. Another Festival highlight will be My Name is Moana, performed on Saturday at the Kourarau Woolshed. This majestic musical event is an intimate tribute to the ocean, led by celebrated singer and songwriter Moana Maniapoto, arts laureate and a 2016 inductee into the NZ Music Hall of Fame.

Jo Beetham, Chair of the Wairarapa Arts Festival Trust, said the trust was

proud to be part of bringing a wonderful experience to rural communities.

“The atmosphere in our Woolshed is spectacular. “It’s such a memorable experience for all of those who join us.” Portraits in Motion is a beautiful story-telling event combining photography, film and theatre. German artist Volker Gerling moves through the flipbooks with his thumb underneath a video camera and projects the images onto the movie screen at The Screening Room on Wednesday, October 16. As his photographs come to life on stage, Volker tells the heart-warming stories behind the moving images making this performance a unique combination of narration, drama, film and photography. Door sales are available for all shows in the festival. Tickets are also available from Wairarapa i-SITES, Carterton Events Centre and at www.kokomai.co.nz.

Struggling Greytown rest home to close Karen Coltman Arbor House rest home in Greytown, which cares for 19 residents and employs 40 people, will close before the end of next month. The announcement was made last week and staff were told in a meeting with management. “It is with great regret that the board and Arbor House management unanimously agree that it can’t continue to operate,” chair Rob Tuckett said. The home has 25 single bedrooms and is independent and run by a community charitable trust, chaired for the past 11 years by Tuckett, a retired doctor. The Wairarapa District Health Board (DHB) said in a statement it was confident it could find new places in for all residents, but it would be in Carterton or Masterton. “We will be working hard to identify the most suitable care options and solutions that meet

Arbor House board and management, residents and their families, and staff are well supported during this challenging time.”

Arbor House has operated for more than 30 years following the closure in the mid-80s of geriatric care at Greytown Hospital

in Hospital Lane. Tuckett said that despite the board’s best efforts, it couldn’t carry on and provide the high-quality level of care that residents have expected and received. “The board and our whole staff have worked tirelessly to keep the facility open. “But our total vulnerability to resident numbers dropping below a critical level, which they have, is not sustainable.” He said several beds had been empty the past month and could not continue sustaining loss in revenue. “If the beds are full, we just survived. But this winter, we ended up with seven empty beds and carrying this loss for any longer was just not possible for us. “Each time this happens, we have used some of our reserves, but as a small trust without access to more capital, these reserves have effectively disappeared, leaving us with no option but

to close.” The board had managed its debt by selling the land and buildings, but resident numbers had dropped. “Over the past few annual general meetings, it has been clear that costs were going up and numbers dropping. “I know it is a setback for the community and I feel personally affected today and upset. “It has been a hard road recently knowing this was looming. “It was an upsetting day for the staff who have been superb in the level of care that they have always provided. They should be proud of their contribution to Arbor House’s reputation as a high-quality caring facility that is highly regarded in the community and in the sector.” The board was grateful for the contributions from the community, former and current residents, staff, medical professionals and volunteers who worked there over many years.

Airshow takes the top award Wings Over Wairarapa, the region’s biennial airshow, took out the Trust House Supreme Award at last week’s Wairarapa Awards, a sell-out event at Masterton’s Copthorne Solway Park. A packed house of more than 300 guests enjoyed an evening of celebration, hosted by Business Wairarapa. The event brought together many of the leading figures in the Wairarapa business community. Business Wairarapa general manager Catherine Rossiter-Stead said the evening was a success and had established itself as a firm fixture on the Wairarapa events calendar. “There is so much to celebrate about the success of business in our region, not only in terms of financial results and the revenue they generate for Wairarapa as a whole, but also in the way they look after their staff, create opportunities and think

Hill road closures to resume

Further planned overnight closures of the Remutaka Hill will impact Wairarapa’s late night road commuters. New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) has revealed a schedule of planned changes to the road over the next 12 months. These include three blocks of five-night closures and four onenight closures “to enable essential maintenance and slip prevention works to be safely carried out”, and NZTA spokesperson said. The first one-night closure is on Sunday, November 10 from 9pm to 4am the next morning, followed by five consecutive nights from Sunday, November 24 to Friday morning, November 29. There are two further five consecutive night closures next year, scheduled for January 12-17, and May 3-8.

The remaining one-night closures are scheduled for Sunday, April 5, Sunday, July 12 and Sunday, September 13. During these periods, the 14 kilometre stretch of road will be closed from 9pm to 4am. regional transport systems manager Mark Owen said having the road fully closed to traffic was critical to ensuring the safety of maintenance

crews while work was being done. “The maintenance works will ensure the road is in good condition, and the slip prevention works will improve accessibility by reducing the risk of falling rocks and debris on to the road.” Owen said work on the Remutaka Hill road had been done during the day with about 300 stop/go road works throughout the

year causing significant disruptions for motorists. “Since the planned night closures in March, when our team was able to complete a huge amount of work, there have been only five stop/go works on the road in the last six months. That’s a 95 per cent reduction.” NZTA said about 291 of the 6,650 vehicles using the road daily travel at night. But Owen acknowledged closing the hill road would have an impact on road users in the evening. “That’s why we are giving plenty of notice, so people are able to reschedule their journeys, or allow more time for the detour via Pahiatua Track or Saddle Road.” A limited shuttle service would be available to night shift workers and other commitments. • Email remutaka@nzta. govt.nz for further information.

Awards is to help reinforce that message.” Wings Over Wairarapa impressed the independent judging panel by

reinventing itself for the 20th anniversary, placing a great emphasis on educating the 4500 students who attended the Friday sessions, as well as putting on a great airshow. The event was named the Tranzit Vibrant Award winner, for those businesses who are leaders in Wairarapa’s burgeoning hospitality and tourism sector, alongside the other category winners: Under The Stars (ANZ Emerging Award), Victoria Read from Aspect Architecture (Drake New Zealand Service Award), Rebel Bakehouse (Harcourts Hamill Realty Innovation Award) and Clareville Bakery (Gibson Sheat Team Award). A special presentation was made to Sally Summers of Saunders Shoes, for her outstanding contribution and service to a Wairarapa business, and Business Wairarapa tributes were made to Alan Stewart, executive chair of Hansells, and Prue Hamill, managing director of Hamill Realty.

Project to provide historic insight Continued from page 1 “It’s one we will promote and provides us with the opportunity to refresh our information on the WWI places of interest we promote in the region.” FCB chairperson Robyn Ramsden said using augmented reality on the significant historical sites would provide a deeper understanding of what was in place for current and future generations. “We look forward to the completed [vision] and the benefits its use will bring to Featherston.” Heritage New Zealand director central region Jamie Jacobs said the project aimed to enhance rather than change the existing commemoration site. He said he did not know offhand how many, if any, other projects of this type were currently being

developed in New Zealand. While the organisation would be “somewhat constrained by the very specific scope of the project”, feedback would be welcome from the public at the meeting later this month. “We find there is always great value in public consultation and conversation as it provides an opportunity to learn things about places we may not have known before,” Jacobs said. The Featherston Military Training Camp, a Category 1 historic place, operated from 1916 until 1918, with around 60,000 soldiers who served overseas – about two-thirds of the total – spending time at the camp. A Prisoner of War Camp was constructed on the same site, operating from 1942 to 1945.

99c WEEK ON NOW! Assistant Principal William Donaldson with Kuranui French exchange students. PHOTO/CATHERINE ROSSITER-STEAD

Kia ora to bonjour Kuranui College French students will be given an opportunity of a lifetime from early next year with the college’s firstever reciprocal French exchange. Six students will travel to New Zealand from the French College of Lestonnac in February to study at the South Wairarapa college. They will then return to Europe after studying for seven weeks to host six students from Kuranui in their hometown of Carignan-de-Bordeaux, in the south west of France. Kuranui students will get the chance to meet their host siblings and practise their French while the French students visit New Zealand during the summer term. Kuranui’s junior dean

William Donaldson said the students would then be stopping over in Paris before spending seven weeks in the school in Bordeaux, where they will be fully immersed in the French language and culture. “The only English they will speak will be in their English class,” he said. “It’s a big cultural shift, because the French education system is a bit different to ours. “Although the school has a four-day week, it has a longer day, starting from 8.30am until about 5pm in the evening, but they will have a two-hour lunch break.” The school in France is a private Catholic college for students between the ages of 11 and 15. It already has exchange

programmes in place with colleges in Spain and Mexico, with Kuranui the latest addition. “It has been quite a good task for our students, because they have had to do everything in French,” Donaldson said. “They did their applications in French, and also received all of the information from their host families in French. “They are having to translate that information into English for their parents, which is quite cool.” He said the French exchange students were looking forward to wearing a uniform as they didn’t have to wear one in France, however, “our students are looking forward to not wearing a uniform”.

Willow removal will help water Eli Hill

The Wainuioru Community River Care Group met Labour MP Kieran McAnulty this week to relay their concerns around the government’s Draft National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management. It was also a chance for the group to demonstrate and talk about the work they’d been doing over the past two years including quarterly testing along the catchment to get an understanding of its health. The informal meeting took place on Brancepeth Station and was attended by about 15 people including farmers, locals, a forestry representative, and an ecologist. The Wainuioru Community River Care Group chair Richard Johns said that he wasn’t proud of the state of the river due to all the sediment being held up by crack willows which had been planted on the riverbanks. However, testing had shown that the water quality wasn’t all bad. He explained that removing the willows was one of the biggest things that would help the water quality of the river in future.

“We know what we need to do to help improve the quality of this river,” Johns said. “What we’re worried about is that we’ll have all these rules telling us to do lots of stuff that will only increase the water quality a little bit, when we could make this change that will increase the water quality a lot.” The group talked about the dangers of having a “black and white” legislation approach to

managing water quality. Landowners might be forced to work on issues that don’t have a major impact on their catchment’s health. Wairarapa Federated Farmers president William Beetham also urged caution with pushing everything through in a short time. “The biggest issue with all of this is people will just shut up shop because there’s such a big move to do all this in our

communities,” he said. “Let’s give people space to move into that space. Because if we throw blanket policy, we know what happens. Look at what happened in the 1970s or 1980s with clearing the land, that was blanket policy.” The crack willows, which were also in place because of policy, and now causing problems were another example of why it’s important not to rush through the policy,

Beetham said. Farmer and local Sully Alsop said that docking, generally one of the best times of the year, was no longer as enjoyable. “All we’re doing is standing around talking about water,” he said. “Looking ahead are you putting any effort into actually selling that idea for us overseas. Because it’s one thing for us to do it, but are you actually going to preach that to the world?”

McAnulty said there were some key things missing so far and one was the economic analysis of how cleaning up rivers would benefit the country. “We keep pointing to that, and that work hasn’t been done yet. For me it’s not just about swimmable rivers, it’s always been about the economic benefits of it. “There’s going to be much more benefit if we can say what we’re doing to improve our rivers, because our rivers aren’t worse than anybody else’s, but we’re the one that’s actually doing something about it. That’s how you get ahead of the curve.” McAnulty said he’d wanted to hear honest feedback with practical solutions like the ones put to him. “Ultimately, we campaigned on cleaning up rivers, we won and now it’s what we’re doing. “It’s proving to be more popular in some areas, but at the same time, I genuinely believe in the long term if we can agree that we’re the most sustainable food producer in the world we’ll all benefit from that.” McAnulty said he’d learnt a lot and offered to look over the group’s submission on the draft freshwater management policy.

GARDEN

YARN

WITH

Protect your precious crops before it’s too late! If you have apples, pears, stone fruit or walnut trees growing, then now is a very important time for you to be aware of the Codling moth larvae. This caterpillar burrows into the fruit and feeds on the pulp & seeds for a few weeks – destroying your crops before overwintering and pupating elsewhere. When the blossoms of your trees begin to open in early spring (from now) you need to hang pheromone traps in your susceptible trees. The pheromone traps are a ‘lure not a cure’. The males are enticed into the traps and then get stuck. Check your traps every couple of days, and when you see a dozen or more males stuck, that means it’s time to spray. Timing is critical when it comes to Codling moth – just one female can lay enough eggs to ruin 50 apples! If you miss the opportunity and the eggs hatch before you’ve sprayed, the larvae will wiggle into your fruit where you can no longer harm them, and your harvest could be ruined. We have pheromone traps, refills and spray here, so don’t delay – come and get yours so you can enjoy a pest free harvest.

Spray your trees with Yates Success Ultra – this spray is useful for a number of things in the garden so it’s worthwhile buying.

You need to set your pheromone traps when the blossoms of your trees begin to open. When a number of males are trapped you know it’s time to spray.

Create a colourful garden filled with pollen & the bees and butterflies will thank you by pollinating your garden! Sowing seeds with the kids is a fun and educational activity and at this time of year there are some great flowers to experiment with. Wildflower Seeds, Sunflowers & Swan Plants are some to try.

DO YOU WANT TO RUN BAREFOOT PAINLESSLY ON THE LAWN THIS SUMMER? It wouldn’t be very nice biting into this infected apple – get rid of the Codling moth now – there’s a small window of opportunity.

Sabotage in voting process

Wading through water issues Gianina Schwanecke

Carterton

Carterton councillors have raised concerns about vote tampering during the vote over the future design of the Carterton clock tower. At a council meeting last Wednesday, councillors were presented with a report updating them on the voting process. It stated that while the community engagement had been positive, there appeared to have been some deliberate attempts to usurp the process and cause confusion in the community through tampering with the voting box, and alternative boxes being presented. Mayor John Booth was particularly displeased to hear this. “Something which really concerns me is the reports of the replica voting boxes,” he said. Other councillors echoed his concerns and were frustrated by how the process had been manipulated. Concerns were also raised about an unauthorised ad which ran in the September edition of the Carterton Crier, displaying one of the three options with lighting features not offered by the Carterton District Council. Cr Greg Lang, who chairs the Placemaking Advisory Committee which put forward the initial three options for the community to vote on, said it was disappointing. “It wasn’t a quick process to get anything to vote on,” he said. “A lot of the groups (represented on the Placemaking Advisory Committee) feel disappointed.” The council resolved to continue with the public vote as planned, with voting tokens to be delivered to the Carterton Events Centre PARKVALE MUSHROOM reception and placed in a corresponding box there. A count of the vote would be crosschecked with addresses verified phone 06 379 8699 for details and quality control of Eftpos now available the voting tokens to be undertaken. The final result would be put to the new council at its first meeting on November 20 where the issues over voting would need to be weighed up.

Water is the biggest issue facing future councils, said outgoing Carterton councillors at their final meeting last Wednesday. During discussions about making a submission on the government’s Action for Healthy Waterways proposal, councillor Mike Ashby raised concerns about the proposals impact on the rural community. “It’s going to have a severe impact on our farming community. I would like the council to put in a submission because it’s going to have an impact on the urban community too.” Many others agreed. “The rural community is really hurting and it’s creating a divide between urban and rural which is not healthy,” Cr Greg Lang said. Councillors Brian Deller and Ruth Carter said it was important for council to add their concerns. Cr Ashby also expressed concerns that community driven catchment schemes like Whaitua, which he worked heavily on, would be overridden by the new standards. “All farmers get up in the morning wanting to do their best for the environment,” he said. Cr Rebecca Vergunst asked that council’s submission also acknowledge support for improving water quality. “We actually do agree with (the proposal), but it’s how we are going about it,” she said. “I’d like it to say we appreciate the emphasis they are putting on the environment.” The council also

approved funding for an aerial hydrogeology project to be undertaken with the Greater Wellington Regional Council (GRWC). Cr Ashby was strongly in support of funding the survey. “It’s quite timely for our water resilience programme and to sort our water issues. “As far as the rural community, I think it’s so important to get better knowledge.” He said it could have massive economic impact on the community and it was knowledge the council needed. While they agreed with the potential benefits, councillors Lang and Deller raised concerns about setting a precedent for council funding non-core activities. “It’s not our core business to fund GWRC projects,” Deller said. “I just don’t want us setting a precedent for cofounding somebody else’s responsibilities.” Deputy Mayor Russell Keys acknowledged their concerns but said the co-funding model meant it might still be the most cost-effective way of carrying out the survey. “While it sounds like a lot of money, it’s not,” he said. “We’ve just put aside $25,000 for investigating a regional cycle trail, so it seems only fair. “I think better to do what we may do in the future, now, when it might be cheaper,” Cr Lang said. Cr Vergunst said she wanted to see the funding equally shared across the region so that it didn’t impact urban ratepayers more.

CARTERTON DISTRICT

COUNCIL SNIPPETS HAVE YOUR SAY BEFORE 12 OCTOBER By now you should have received your voting papers for the local body elections. This is one of the most important decisions you can make for the future of our district and time is running out. Your elected members represent the Carterton community and make decisions on important things such as: • Roading • Parks • Water • Which projects are ratepayer funded as part of the annual and long term plans. This is why it’s important you vote for the candidates you think best represent what you want for

HE PITOPITO KŌRERO

Carterton’s future. To learn what your candidates stand for visit cdc.govt.nz/ your-council/elections/ This is a postal vote, so if you haven’t already posted your voting papers you will need to bring them directly into the council office so the deputy electoral officer can make sure they reach the electoral office in time. If you haven’t received your voting papers, please contact Casey on 06 379 4030 or casey@cdc.govt.nz. We can still issue special votes at the council office to those who are eligible up until midday 12 October.

- BY RA SMITH

The competition to elect Wairarapa’s representatives is in front of us, but we should be judging our candidates on how well they co-operate with each other and with all parts of the community.

Your vote matters. Have your say in Carterton’s future.

Farewell to our Mayor John Booth

For the past 5 years, John Booth has served our Carterton community as mayor. John made the difficult decision to retire from his position to spend more time with his family. John had the privilege of taking part in one final citizenship ceremony last month, with support from his wife Julie. His last official day as mayor will be 12 October when the votes are counted, and the new mayor is elected. The staff at Carterton District Council would like to thank John for his service, although he has reminded us several times that he will pop in to visit and we will still see him around Carterton.

Two of our original leaders Kupe and Ngake were able to compete co-operatively. Pukengake is the name of some hills in the Ponatahi area. Puke is straight forward because it means hill, but Ngake is a bit more complicated. Ngake is the name of Kupe’s brother in law. Some of the Kupe kōrero or stories are about the competitions between Ngake and Kupe. The construction of the sails at Ngā Ra o Kupe, or Kupe’s Sails, near Ngawi and the construction of Nga Waka o Kupe, or Kupe’s Canoes near Martinborough ended in Kupe winning. This, however, is an example of co-operative competition, where on the surface there is a winner, but by thinking a little deeper we realise the whole voyaging group benefited from new waka and new sails.

John’s plant pot miniature mayor

On the ground at Holloway Street I didn’t realise how important voting in the local body elections was until I became involved in the elections process myself as our

council’s deputy electoral officer. I’ve been working for the council for almost two years now and this is my first experience working during local government elections. It has been my role to make sure the electoral protocols are adhered to, to check and receive the candidate nomination forms, and to help people with their special votes. Our council consults with our community on a lot of different matters throughout the year –

local body elections is the most important process we need you to be part of. The mayor and councillors chosen by our community are your advocates. The mayor and councillors want to engage with as many of our community members as possible and they want to hear your concerns and feedback in order to make the right decisions for Carterton when they sit around the council table. It’s up to the individuals in our community to choose who will act as their

voice on council. There’s no better opportunity to have such a big influence on the future of our district – we won’t get another chance until 2022. Please take part in the process and contribute towards the choices you want for Carterton. If you haven’t voted yet or are still deciding who to vote for, view your candidates and what they stand for on our dedicated webpage https://cdc. govt.nz/your-council/elections/ your-nominated-candidatesfor-2019/

Ngake is also remembered in the naming of a hill after him. The current political competition will be remembered for how well people cooperate.

EDITORIAL

Opinion

Your paper, your voice Earlier this year in April, I packed 53 notebooks containing the essence of four years’ worth of stories into a box, farewelled my friends at the Wairarapa Times-Age and quietly slid out. Little did I know then that six months later I would be sitting back in the Masterton office, but this time in the Midweek editor’s seat. Kia ora. Great to be here. I’m honoured to take on this role, but I do so with some trepidation as despite her slight frame, Emily Ireland with the big heart has left some big shoes to fill. Emily and I joined the Times-Age as junior reporters a few months apart back in 2015. Having worked together closely, I know firsthand how much care and respect Emily takes with the people whose stories she has been privileged to tell – she’s either laughing or crying alongside her subject, sharing in their joy, enthusiasm and pain. Emily has moved into a well-deserved senior

Hayley Gastmeier role as Times-Age chief reporter, and I’m sure I’m not alone in wishing her all the best as she takes on this challenge. Now I’m here to pick up where Emily left off and I look forward to meeting you all. The past few years have seen the number of community newspapers in Aotearoa declining, however the Wairarapa Midweek has gone from strength to strength, almost doubling in size and being named a finalist in the 2019 Voyager Media Awards. And with your input, I’m determined to keep this paper on an upward trajectory to ensure it is around for many years to come. My vision is for the Midweek to be a publication that gives all corners of our diverse community a voice.

We’ll cover key events and issues affecting our people, shed light on well-deserving causes, and celebrate the achievements of individuals and groups, as well as making the community aware of things they might not normally know or hear about. I want this to be a newspaper that you look forward to reading each week. So tell me, what do you want to see inside when you pick it up? I’m listening. Get in touch. This is your newspaper, so it needs to reflect you, its readers. I’m looking forward to sharing your stories, highlighting Wairarapa’s best sides, and to be working for a community newspaper that epitomises the word community, being locally owned and printed around the corner.

Tongue in cheek, and on envelope It’s a bit naughty that the Wairarapa District Health Board are so hot on people staying thin, yet on the voting papers for the DHB board you have to lick the

envelope to seal it. In both England and the USA, they have made public how many calories you get if you lick an oﬃcial envelope to seal it. It would be fun to check how many calories one is getting when one licks the envelope for the DHB voting paper. Anyway, in this day and age, one would think they would use self-seal envelopes.

For starters, it would ensure that no one can steam the envelope open and change your votes! Allan Kirk Masterton

Retirement village set to bloom Gianina Schwanecke

With consent now granted, work on The Orchards retirement village in Greytown could begin as early as January next year. Lindsay Daysh, the independent commissioner appointed to consider the potential impacts of the project and oversee the consent process, heard from submitters at a two-day hearing in August before releasing his decision last week. In his decision, he said the proposed development would have “positive effects” by providing retirement and aged care in South Wairarapa. He said such advantages outweighed the loss of productive land and that Greytown expansion would result in “the loss of land currently in production regardless of where it is”. The South Wairarapa District Council still needs to give final sign off on changing the zoning of the land from rural to residential, but developer Craig Percy said this wouldn’t hinder work getting started. “It’s not a challenge because the resource consent is separate to the plan change,” he said. “We can go ahead and start construction without the plan change.”

An artist’s impression of the proposed retirement community, The Orchards, in Greytown.

“Combined with what we’re doing with Five Rivers, it’s really putting the South Wairarapa on the map.” He hoped construction of the show villa and civil works would commence in January with the main construction of stage one of the project to start in May or June.

Each month, work would begin on three of the villas, taking about four months total to complete each, meaning the first residents could be moving in by October or November.

PHOTO/FILE

Conditions relating to the financial contributions payable for upgrades of council infrastructure, such as roads, and stormwater and wastewater systems, had been agreed upon by the developers and SWDC following the hearing. Percy said the council had been supportive in their approach.

He had also worked through concerns raised during the submissions process with neighbouring properties about mitigating the impacts of the construction. “The relationship all the way through is really important to us,” he said. Early planting and retaining more than 700 trees at the former

Murphy’s Orchard site would help with this and prevent noise pollution. There was still a bit of flexibility as the care and communal facilities designs would only be finalised over the next 18 months, allowing the potential for a two-storey building. However, the villas would be single-storey structures. Percy said he was excited that the consent had been approved. “Combined with what we’re doing with Five Rivers, it’s really putting the South Wairarapa on the map.” He said it was unfortunate the timing had not lined up for residents and staff at Arbor House, which announced it was closing last week. “It’s very sad because we were working really closely with Arbor House,” he said. Though he hadn’t undertaken any marketing, Percy said there was already more than 100 expressions of interest. The new council would likely sign off the land change at its next meeting. • More information and expressions of interest can be made online, at: theorchardsatgreytown.co.nz/

You can drop off voting forms in the ballot box at Council offices at 161 Queen Street right up until the deadline, and if you’re not yet enrolled, you can do that first and then make a special vote.The office will be open until midday on Saturday, but if you’re making a special vote, you must be enrolled by the end of Friday. We want as large a return as possible so make sure you make the effort – candidate information is available on the Council website at: www.mstn.govt.nz/vote2019. And with Daylight Saving now making the days a little longer in the evening, summer must be just around the corner (surely!). That means keeping an eye on water use. Water restrictions are a fact of life in summer, and this year won’t be any different. We’ll be letting householders know plans for water conservation shortly, but it’s pretty obvious stuff. Gardens don’t need to be soaked every day. Our focus is on ensuring the health of the Waingawa River, which is where we get our water from. That’s got to make good sense. Nga mihi, Kath Ross

SPEED REVIEW Masterton District Council is starting a conversation with residents about traffic speeds in and around Masterton, as the first stage of a review of speed limits. The review will focus on priority areas, primarily around schools, high-pedestrian zones, and roads in places where there has been growth and a change in land use. The Council has developed proposed speed reductions, including reducing the speed limit to 30km/h on and around Queen Street, and in the Kuripuni and Landsdowne business areas. Variable speed limits are suggested for roads near schools, with the current 50km/h limit proposed to be reduced to 40km/h during peak periods when pupils are arriving or leaving school. There are also suggested speed reductions in areas such as Upper Plain, and Castlepoint and Riversdale. The initial speed reductions are based on community feedback and NZTA advice, including its Safer Speeds review. Once feedback has been received, a formal consultation process will be carried out before any changes are made. State Highway 2 is the responsibility of NZTA and the Council has written to them seeking an urgent review of the speed limits on parts of the road, separate to this consultation.

AWARDS NOMINATIONS OPEN! It’s awards time! And it’s better to give than receive, right? Nominations are now open for Masterton District Council’s Civic and Youth awards. The Civic Awards recognise outstanding contributions made by individuals to our community, and there have been plenty in the past year. A Civic Award is a way for the community to say thanks to those who have shown passion and commitment in areas like arts and culture, community work, education, heritage and the environment, health and wellbeing, and sports and leisure. Our Youth Awards recognise the efforts of Masterton’s rangatahi (12-24 years of age). It could be in cultural, social or environmental fields, or simply a great idea that has made Masterton a better place to be. We know there are worthy nominees out there – and we need you to tell us who they are. Nominations for both awards can be made through the council website at: mstn.govt.nz/ community-awards Forms can also be picked up at the Council office at 161 Queen Street, Masterton District Library, 54 Queen Street. Nominations close at 4pm, Friday 8 November

OCTOBER 2019

WHIRINGA-Ā-NUKU 2019 WHAT’S ON 12 October – Voting closes for local body elections at midday. 26 October – Block party 10am-2pm, Queen Elizabeth Park and Bruce, Dixon, Park, King and Queen streets, with live music, art, toi Māori, tours and food. Theme: green living.

to make yourself heard.

28 October – Labour Day Public holiday Monday. Council offices will be closed, with after-hours service operating for calls - 06 378 7752 30 October – First Council meeting after local body elections 2pm, Kiwi Room, Waiata House, 27 Lincoln Road, Masterton. 31 October – Hallowhere? Community event designed to help neighbours interact as part of the global Halloween celebration.

LABOUR DAY: WHEEL IT OUT A DAY LATER Labour Day is just around the corner and, after four months without a public holiday, we’re sure everyone is looking forward to a Monday off. The public holiday (28 October) means recycling will be picked up a day later for that week. For example, if your recycling day is Tuesday, recycling will be picked up on Wednesday instead. The same goes for all the other days of that week, including people whose normal recycling day is Friday; there will be a special recycling day on Saturday. The only exception is commercial businesses in the Masterton CBD. Those in the area from the north end of Queen Street down to the Kuripuni roundabout, including Dixon Street and Chapel Street (that normally have recycling collected on Fridays) will still have recycling collected on the Friday.

LAKESIDE SPRUCE-UP Refurbishment around the Lake of Remembrance at Queen Elizabeth Park is progressing well, with the next two sections of path around the lake set for re-opening by next month. It’s great to see the paddle boats back on the water, and the public will soon have access to all but the stretch of the path alongside Memorial Drive. Next to open will be new sections north of the boatshed, and on the south side of the lake up to the bridge over to the island, with asphalting and the installation of furniture the final stages of the work. The design of the new path maximises accessibility and features great new seating, and rubbish bins that encourage recycling. The final stage of work will see Higgins contractors working on the path running along western side of the lake and alongside Memorial Drive. The height of the lake’s stone wall will be increased slightly to enable the path to be raised, while protecting the roots of historic trees along the drive. Stones have been hand-selected to match those in the wall, for what is a labour-intensive piece of work. Given the proximity of the road to the path, some traffic control may be required, and the road may be limited to a single lane at times. It is hoped to have the entire project completed in time for Christmas.

VOTE NOW There are only a few days left to get your votes in for the local body election. Voting closes at midday on Saturday (12 October). It is now too late to post your completed voting papers in, so drop them off at the Council office, 161 Queen Street, Masterton between the following times: Weekdays - 8am – 4.30pm Saturday 12 October - 9am – 12pm You can still vote if you haven’t enrolled or have misplaced (or didn’t receive) your voting papers – just come into the Council office and make a special vote. If you’re not enrolled and want to make a special vote on Saturday, you need to first come in and complete the enrolment process by the end of Friday. Don’t miss the chance to have a say in Masterton’s future. Don’t know who to vote for? Head over to www.mstn.govt.nz/vote2019/ for all the candidate profiles.

GREYTOWN

SURROUNDS

WE’LL SEE WAIRARAPA RIGHT Wairarapa’s building boom shows no signs of slowing down – and the team at Crighton ITM Greytown are happy to be along for the ride. Crighton’s Greytown – one of three ITMs owned by Euan and Jane Crighton in the lower North Island – has been based at the south end of Main Street for 12 years. Manager Jim Rodger says the last three years have seen substantial growth in sales and clientele: with new builds cropping up all over South Wairarapa, quality timber, hardware, and interior finishes are in hot demand. Thanks to its range of top-notch materials and friendly, experienced staff, he is pleased to report the local building community keeps making Crighton’s its first choice. “It’s been incredibly busy – it’s unreal,” Jim says.

MEATY PASSION BRINGS THE MEDALS From the humble pre-cooked sausage, to rich cheddar and herbs, to hearty black pudding, to spicy Mediterranean chorizos – Greytown Butchery’s award-winning snarlers are a must for a summer barbecue. Gavin Green and Julie Fairbrother have been at the helm of the Main Street butchery since 2006 – and, each year, their bangers have scored top marks at the annual Devro Great New Zealand Sausage Competition, winning a total of 20 Gold, Silver and Bronze Awards. This year, Gavin and Julie hope to bring home more silverware, having entered six categories – Beef Flavoured, Gourmet Varietal (for their Moroccan lamb & raisin sausages), Flavoured (beef, cheese and chive), BBQ/PreCooked, Black Pudding and Saveloy – in the 2019 awards.

The results of the competition, which will feature over 480 entries for 90 stores nationwide, will be announced on Thursday, October 17. Gavin, himself a qualified butcher of 24 years, says the secret to the perfect snarler is simple – quality components and passion. “We always make sure to use fresh trimmings, lean meat and fresh herbs for our sausages,” he says. “All our meat is sourced locally – we hand-pick it straight from the farm. “It also helps that we have a team of butchers that are passionate about the trade. They’re not just in it to cut up the meat, and put it on the shelves – they put a lot of care and effort into the job.” Gavin says the butchery’s sausages are the most popular product, with customers appreciating the range of bangers from around the world – such as German Bratwurst, Maltese Pork and South African Boerewors. Gavin has also recently introduced a range of preservative- and gluten-free sausages. The butchery is also renowned for its lamb, with its hand-selected Palliser Ridge RomneyTexel cuts, and coming first in the Golden Lamb Awards, as well a variety of free-range pork and chicken. Gavin, who works alongside three fulltime butchers and one part-timer, says he has enjoyed working with the Greytown community over the years. “We have lots of loyal customers – great people you can have a laugh with when they come in.”

Centre update Eli Hill One of the Wellington region’s most comprehensive surgical hospitals will soon be offering services from Greytown. Boulcott Hospital will provide a variety of medical services from Five Rivers Medical, the multi-million-dollar state of the art medical facility to be built in Greytown next year. Having Boulcott Hospital come on board underpins the facility’s philosophy of bringing excellent health services closer to people living in Wairarapa, Five Rivers Medical chair Bob Francis said. “Five Rivers Medical is about bringing health care services and a number of specialist services closer to patients in Wairarapa meaning some people will no longer have to drive

over the hill to access these in Wellington, as they currently do,” Francis said. “We are excited to have Boulcott Hospital offering a variety of services to patients here, including pre-operation assessments and consultations, and post-operation checkups.” Boulcott Hospital’s chief executive Sarah Boyes was excited to be involved with Five Rivers Medical and said her team, including nurses, doctors and surgeons, was also excited about providing a variety of services locally. Boulcott’s operating model in Greytown would be similar to how it had successfully operated specialist consultation rooms in Paraparaumu on the Kapiti Coast, Boyes said. Five Rivers Medical is the initiative of Wairarapa couple Shane and

Lynnette McManaway, who own Gold Creek, a charolais and deer farming operation at Matarawa. The facility will also work collaboratively with Tu Ora Compass Health, the Wairarapa DHB and Wellington Free Ambulance as well as with existing medical specialists. Building is expected to start early next year. Once completed, Five Rivers Medical will feature a comprehensive wellness centre including physiotherapy, a rehabilitation gym, a pilates studio, massage therapy, mental health and counselling services. A suite of consultation rooms will service a range of visiting specialists. There will also be an inhouse pharmacy and a full range of general practice services.

Escape the Solar System Sky Watch

Nick Sault We read about moon landings, International Space Station, probes to Mars and the moons of Jupiter and Saturn, but there are craft out there making their way to the stars. Two Pioneer space craft, two Voyager space craft and the more recent New Horizons are speeding away from our Solar System, and they don’t get much publicity these days. The Voyagers were sent off in 1977, not to go where they are currently heading, but rather to study the outer planets of our Solar System. We make a lot about not going back to the moon since 1972, but the fact is we haven’t sent a probe to the two outermost planets, Uranus and Neptune, since Voyager 2 went there in the 80s. Voyager 1 is currently the farthest and fastest of the interstellar travellers, moving at 17 kilometres a second and is currently about 22 billion kilometres away. This puts it way outside

our planetary system, about five times as far away as Neptune, the farthest planet. But more significantly, it was declared in 2012 that Voyager 1 had entered interstellar space, having left behind any influence from the sun. The Pioneer spacecraft were sent off even earlier, in 1972, but are moving considerably slower than Voyager 1 such that Voyager 1 took the lead in reaching interstellar space even though it was launched five years later. The latest probe to venture into deep space is New Horizons. That probe was launched to study the dwarf planet Pluto and then in January this year, the Kuiper Belt object, 2014 MU69, better known as Ultima Thule. Kuiper Belt objects are dwarf planets that exist beyond the major planets. New Horizons has gone beyond Neptune but has a way to go to be considered interstellar. It’s also not travelling as fast as the Voyagers, so will never catch them up.

Roger Boulter for Carterton Council “Rates can be kept down if rules are clear and respected, and communication open. As a united Councillor team, we tell the Chief Executive Officer what we require her to deliver.

Depiction of Voyager 1 using Saturn’s gravity to send it into deep space. PHOTO/GETTY IMAGES

However, it will eventually reach that point where it exits the heliosphere – the bubble of space that surrounds the sun and represents its sphere of influence. So, you may ask, when will these probes reach the stars? Well, don’t wait up. The fastest probe,

Voyager 1, will take about 70,000 years to cover the distance of the nearest star, Alpha Centauri. However, none of the five are directed at any particular star. At 4.3 light years distance, Alpha Centauri currently sits above our south-west horizon midevening.

It’s worth going outside on a clear night and take a minute to contemplate it. It is the brightest star in that quarter of the sky. Just imagine that our fastest space craft will take as long to get there as modern humans have existed on this planet. Next week: Meteors are coming.

for Council

“We don’t intervene in how the Chief Executive Offi cer deploys her staff, and the Chief Executive Offi cer relates to us as a united team – your Council. “We Councillors are answerable to you the community – throughout the year, not just at election, Annual Plan and Long Term Plan time. “And “the books” must be “open” – fi nances open to scrutiny. Money must not just be managed carefully, but seen to be managed carefully. That’s how rates are kept down. “Vote for candidates who’ll put these clear rules in place”.

Flute-like chatter

CALL

06 370 0975

Dear friends, Spring continues to bring forth new life in the forest with new fruits, flowers, and fern fronds appearing daily. The new growth provides a staple food source for wildlife inhabitants, many of whom start to make themselves known. One pair of birds in particular has our rangers delighting because they are seldom seen in the wild and are relatively rare. Slate grey in colour, with blue wattles that hang under black beaks and wearing black burglar masks around their eyes. Can you guess which birds they are? That’s right; kōkako. A wild juvenile pair are in residence near the Takahē Enclosure (that can be viewed from the observation deck at the Kākā Café). Rangers can tell they are a young pair because of the tone of their flute-like calls that sound organlike and ethereal as they call to one another. It takes two kōkako to hold a territory, so the birds are vocal and stay in close contact. If one bird is spotted, the other is

likely to be very close by. They are extremely territorial and seldom fly long distances, preferring to hop from branch to branch, treetop to treetop within the territory they hold. It’s unusual to have such a pairing so close to the visitor centre. Previous sightings within the 942-hectare forest at Pūkaha have mainly only been from trappers or volunteers. Those sightings are almost always in deeper, more remote parts of the reserve. The current sighting brings great hope and joy.

FOR POSITIVITY, INTEGRITY AND EXPERIENCE

The North Island kōkako had just 330 bird pairings nationwide in 1999. In 2017 that number increased to approximately 1595 pairings due to a ramped-up conservation effort. This focused on the translocation of the species into predator-controlled sites – like the protected forest reserve at Pūkaha. The new pairing further suggests that wild kōkako numbers at Pūkaha are rising, pushing younger birds like this pair into new unoccupied territories. Spring is the start of new beginnings. For this kōkako pair, that beginning looks bright. Until the next time! The Pūkaha Rangers.

While most of us love cute and cuddly puppies, breeding your bitch is an important decision that shouldn’t be made lightly. Having a litter will make no difference to the long term personality of your pet and although some people manage to make money from breeding, it can more easily end up costing more than you make. It is imperative to breed animals that will produce puppies free of genetic defects that will cause lifelong health problems. If you are considering breeding from your bitch then consulting a vet beforehand is a great idea to discuss the possible implications. This is especially important if she has a history of any of the following conditions: umbilical or inguinal hernias, undershot or overshot jaw, allergic skin disease, hip or elbow dysplasia, generalized demodex, slipping patellas, elongated soft palates, stenotic nares, entropion or any behavioural condition.

Bitches should be at least 18 months old but not older than 6 years, in ideal body condition and worming and vaccinations should be up to date. The usual length of pregnancy in dogs in 63 days but can vary by +/- 7 days. Pregnancy diagnosis can be carried out by ultrasound at around 28 days. To accurately count puppies an x-ray is recommended this can be done in the last 2 weeks of pregnancy. Diet in late stages of pregnancy is incredibly important. It is best to transition the bitch onto a puppy diet to provide the extra energy and nutrients she requires – she will also need to be fed more frequently as her stomach gets compressed by the growing uterus. Also reducing her exercise especially in last 3 weeks of pregnancy and a bit earlier for working dogs. Sanneke Neal, BVSc

A previous outdoor Music Co-creation Meetup.

Music meetups Multi-instrumentalist Jonáš Koukl is launching into a new season of Music Co-creation Meetups, now being held at Heart of Arts in Carterton. Last year, this was a very popular weekly event at Aratoi in Masterton, bringing people of all ages and musical abilities together to play, sing, dance or just sit quietly and listen. Now based out of Heart of Arts from 6.30pm on Tuesdays during the school term, Koukl hopes to continue to share his passion for music. Koukl is a music teacher and musician with a master’s degree in primary education focused on music therapy and many rich experiences facilitating interactive music programmes. He teaches people about musical traditions from around the world through music therapy games and guided jam sessions with a huge collection of international instruments The instruments are tuned together and are simple to play, “so it’s impossible to make a mistake”, Koukl said. Music Co-creation Meetups are supported by the Carterton Creative Communities Scheme NZ. Entry is by koha.

Overnight closures of the Remutaka Hill Road From Sunday 10 November, you’ll need to plan your travel around overnight closures of State Highway 2 over the Remutaka Hill.

Before: Unsafe working environment, constant stop/go delays for road users

Night-time closures: Safer workers, greater productivity, fewer daytime delays for road users

The 14km Remutaka Hill Road will be closed on four Sunday nights and three blocks of five nights between 10 November 2019 and 14 September 2020 for its annual programme of essential maintenance and slip prevention works.

What you need to know

The night-time closures will increase safety for maintenance crews, significantly reduce the number of daytime disruptions for road users on the Hill Road and enable better quality of maintenance work. Since the March night-time closures, stop/go works have dropped 95%. The dates for the closures are fixed and will not be changed. This will provide certainty for our customers so they can plan ahead.

• SH2 over the Remutaka Hill will be closed for one night from 9pm to 4am, Sunday 10 November to Monday morning 11 November, and closed for five nights from Sunday night 24 November to Friday morning 29 November. • Further night time closures are scheduled for 2020, starting with five consecutive nights from 9pm to 4am on Sunday night 12 January to Friday morning 17 January, and Sunday night 3 May to Friday morning 8 May. The remaining one-night closures are scheduled for Sunday 5 April, Sunday 12 July and Sunday 13 September, also 9pm to 4am. • More information about the closure can be found at www.nzta.govt.nz/remutaka • A limited shuttle service is available for night shift workers and others with essential commitments. For this and other information, please contact us at remutaka@nzta.govt.nz • Access will be available for emergency services throughout the closures.

Wairarapa emergency response bolstered Wairarapa is upping its game for responding to Civil Defence emergencies with a new Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) and additional emergency response training. An EOC is the base for responding to Civil Defence emergencies, whether it be ÿ re, ° ooding, earthquake or other event that needs signiÿ cant coordinated management. The new Masterton District Council building, Waiata House on Lincoln Road, is now also home to the new Emergency Operations Centre with ÿ t-for-purpose technology and a ° exible set up to allow the room to also be used for Council meetings. The Council’s Manager of Assets and Operations, David Hopman, is also the Civil Defence Controller. He said lessons had been taken from other Councils when considering what was needed within the new Wairarapa EOC. “There is variety across the country with some permanent EOCs set up ready for

activation at any time,” Mr Hopman said. “Our new set up is multi-purpose with equipment that takes as little as ten minutes for the room to be transformed into an operations centre.” While the EOC is ready to be activated at any time, a full activation with the entire team mobilised does not happen often. However, the EOC has typically been partially activated on an almost yearly basis when events needed monitoring. All three district councils, and the Greater Wellington Regional Council, provide sta˛ to work in the EOC. Sta˛ are involved in training every month and, this year, some members of the team have undergone additional training to help increase emergency response capability – including a trip to the National Crisis Management Centre underneath Parliament.

A Masterton shop has struck luck twice in a fortnight.

Lucky Kuripuni Karen Coltman

For the second time in a fortnight, a Kuripuni outlet sold a winning Lotto First Division ticket. And the similarities are uncanny. Saturday night’s winning ticket sold at Kuripuni Lotto and Post Shop collected $166,167 – a sixth share of the $1 million A fortnight earlier a ticket sold at Pak’nSave earned exactly the same amount. Kuripuni Lotto

in 2003, she said. “It’s just so nice for them, whoever it is. “We hope it is someone who needs it. “I am looking forward to seeing them next week.” Last year the store sold a $12.5m Powerball Lotto ticket, and in 2009, a $36m prize went to four Masterton women who bought a Big Wednesday ticket. Powerball was not struck on Saturday and has rolled over to tonight where the jackpot will be $28 million.

and Post Shop owner Maureen Taute said in all probability, the person who bought the winning ticket was local. “So far all the winners have been local people, so it is great the money goes back into the community rather than a tourist travelling through,” Taute said. She said she really didn’t know why the shop was so lucky. “We have sold a mountain of winning tickets – about $52 million since I took over the shop

Minister visits Masterton Volunteering Wairarapa

Donna Robinson As a volunteering centre, we are deeply interconnected with our community and other community groups. This is why we were delighted that Poto Williams, the Minister for the Community and Voluntary Sector, visited us last week. The minister visited the Wairarapa Community Centre to speak to Connecting Communities Wairarapa, Wairarapa Community Centre Trust, Volunteering Wairarapa, and she also spoke to other tenants in the centre to ﬁnd out how we serve our community. As part of a community hub, we focused on highlighting our collaborative eﬀorts and interconnectedness. Working in the Community Centre, we become aware of who’s doing what within the 14 organisations who are tenants. Collaboration happens naturally through everyday socialisation and interaction. After listening to us, Minister Williams spoke about her view on the

community and voluntary sector. She highlighted the importance of volunteering in many areas of society, and the untapped opportunities for social enterprises. The minister acknowledged how important volunteering could be for allowing young people to gain skills, and increase their conﬁdence and their ability to get employment. She also recognised the value of keeping people involved in volunteering when they were between jobs. The minister said it was hard to get an accurate gauge of exactly how much volunteering goes on in New Zealand. “Maraes, churches, and small communities run grassroots activities that aren’t caught by oﬃcial surveys, but which form a lot of the glue that keeps our communities healthy and connected.” Having worked in NGOs for more than 20 years, the minister understands the issues facing us in this sector. There is an

increasing burden of compliance. Time spent ﬁlling out complex online forms is time taken away from doing our work in the community. Also, the cost of auditing that is now required is high. While the purpose of compliance is to prove we are legitimate and trustworthy, Williams acknowledged that local groups were some of the most trusted groups around, and more local engagement from government would naturally build trust, making our community work easier to do. The minister wants to hear how the Department

Having met with the minister, Volunteering Wairarapa will submit ideas we have to strengthen voluntary organisations.

Wednesday, October 9, 2019

Pink Ribbon Street Appeal

11 & 12 October 2019

Boobs are naturally lumpy, that’s the simple fact of life. But when those lumps are different to the norm or become painful, that’s when you need to consult a health professional. Someone like Katie Inker, Nurse Practitioner at Whaiora Medical Centre in Masterton.

“Early detection and treatment of breast cancer can buy you another 20-30 years of life, that’s why it’s vital to spot cancer early”, says Katie. “The most important thing is not to be afraid if abnormalities are discovered. Confide in a friend or family member for support and then get medical help. Over 90% of breast cancer detection can be successfully treated if caught early.”

Figures are sobering. 3,500 women and 25 men each year are diagnosed with breast cancer. Katie says the best thing you can do is get familiar with your own boobs, establishing a routine for selfexamination, including checking armpits, and if there’s something amiss, seek medical help. Katie suggests an examination routine could be anything from the first day of the month, first day of a menstrual cycle or maybe on a regular basis in the shower.

Local breast prosthesis and More cars plugged in bra fitting service at Milady Karen Coltman

After a mastectomy many women struggle to find lingerie and clothing that fits perfectly, but Milady Fashion and Lingerie can help.

“

The service offered by Milady is a specialised one. Not only do our staff have lots of experience in fitting, the team understands what a personal experience it is.

“Many people think they have to go out of town for this service, when in fact the service is available here in Masterton,” Milady owner Deb Graham-Karaitiana says. “The service offered by Milady is a specialised one. Not only do our staff have lots of experience in fitting, the team understands what a personal experience it is. “ After mastectomy, many women are left feeling body conscious and nervous about having a fitting, Deb says. “But our philosophy is all about empowering women to look and

In addition to the fitting, Milady can organise payment through the Ministry of Health’s Breast Prosthesis Service Payment Scheme – the only Wairarapa business able to do so.

“

As well as providing advice around flattering clothing styles, the Queen Street, Masterton store is the only Wairarapa business offering a breast prosthesis and bra modification service.

feel good. We want women to feel confident and comfortable when they head out the door.”

“That means women can come in, have a chat about the options, have a fitting and decide what they want, then the staff at Milady can organise the payment with the Ministry of Health.” Milady stocks prosthesis, breast forms and specialised bras. It also offers a unique service where women can choose to have a normal bra or swimsuit modified to hold a prosthesis. “This is a considerably cheaper alternative and offers a greater variety of bras to choose from.” For more information about the service call in to Milady Fashion and Lingerie at 164 Queen Street, Masterton.

Wairarapa sales of new electric cars have quadrupled since 2018. Three were sold last year and 13 have been sold already. Sales of hybrids (petrol and electric combination) are up on last year going from ﬁve for the year to seven so far. Business development manager of Eastwood Motor Group Aaron Pinkham said sales of electrics have gone up year on year. “We have the popular Hyundai Kona and Ioniq electric. Adoption of electric vehicles are up nationwide,” Pinkham said. “Consumers are becoming more conscious of the environment, for us the trend has been 100% to the fully electric range. Customers love the performance and handling, and now that newer models have a range of over 400km before charging up, anxiety has disappeared. “September had increased sales on the previous month, and we are up on last year too,” he said. Wairarapa Mitsubishi stock the most popular hybrid here and are looking to bring in fully electric powered vehicles.

“We’re bringing in electric, but Mitsubishi were looking for a better price and quality before getting it here. We had the electric vehicles 10 years ago but found hybrids were better for us until charge storage improved,” sale representative Brent Cooper said. “The current hybrids are top quality vehicles and suit the Wairarapa environment. We’ve sold 5 outlanders this year. They’re a four-wheel drive, high oﬀ the ground so good for around here. “ Motor Vehicle Association ﬁgures released for September showed 500 sales of pure electric vehicles during the month and a further 105 sales of plug-in

hybrid vehicles. For the ﬁrst time registrations of electric vehicles broke into the top three passenger SUV models sold within the month. Masterton Mayor Lyn Patterson drives the council’s Hyundai Ioniq electric vehicle purchased in February 2018. The council plans to move to an electric ﬂeet when the pool vehicles are replaced. There is a charging station at Masterton Queen Elizabeth park, Paua World Carterton and Featherston Super Value. South Wairarapa District Council is working with Genesis Energy and Pain and Kershaw about installing an electric vehicle charging station in Martinborough.

Bin trial causes stink

Wednesday, October 9, 2019 Lifestyle Wairarapa Midweek

Marcus Anselm A pair of rubbish bin trials has caused a stink across Wairarapa. WaiBins launched a targeted marketing campaign in Carterton and Masterton last month, which reached Featherston and Martinborough on the weekend. Wairarapa Environmental bins have provided a similar trial in Greytown. One Masterton resident branded the recent promotion “marketing arrogance”. Allan Kirk received a bin from WaiBins. He said the promotion was “an imposition and they therefore needed to be prosecuted for littering”. “It’s arrogance. Marketing arrogance, nothing more, nothing less. I really am quite gobsmacked. “The point about this is that it has nothing to do with the district council. “They are a private company with an arrogant marketing ploy trying to fool people, and they nearly fooled me, into thinking this was part of the district council.” Kirk said the similarity to, and timing with, the council’s new recycling bin rollout was a concern. “It’s exactly the same sticker that’s on the

recycling bin as if it came from the district council. It’s cheeky marketing.” WaiBins is a refuse only service. Wairarapa Environmental, who are in Greytown, offers green waste collection services as well. A WaiBins spokesperson said their bins were distributed as part of a special promotion. “People can use the bin for their rubbish collection for three months free of charge. “If they wish to become a regular customer they can go to our website. “If they choose not

to become a WaiBins customer they can continue to use the bin free of charge until December 8. “We will remove it after that. There’s no obligation to keep the bin.” A South Wairarapa District Council post on Facebook said the council “was not aware of this marketing activity taking place”. “We’re trying to find out more, in particular, to understand how the company will ensure that all unclaimed/unwanted bins are going to be picked up.”

The massive slip which has dammed the Kaiwhata River between Te Wharau and Homewood remains ﬁrmly in place while water levels continue to rise. It begs the question of what happens when the dam eventually breaks. A team from GNS Science were at the site on Thursday to collect data to answer this question, using a drone, GPS and terrestrial laser scanner to provide detailed hazard information to local authorities. The landslide which caused the dam is believed to have occurred sometime last Saturday afternoon where the base of an existing landslide from a few years ago gave way. The landslide that blocked the river has a volume of 100,000 cubic metres. The team measured the lowest point on the crest of the landslide dam as 15 metres above the original river level. The volume of water in the lake forming behind the dam was estimated to be 600,000 cubic metres yesterday afternoon. It was expected to spill over the top of the dam at some point today if water levels

As crews prepared to scour the Tararua Range for missing tramper Darren Myers for the second consecutive day of the current four-day mission, his brother-in-law spoke of his experience in the outdoors and love of adventure. At the Wairarapa Search and Rescue [SAR] base at Hood Aerodrome in Masterton yesterday, Duncan Styles said he and Myers had been planning on doing the Dusky Track in Fiordland later this year. The route described by National Geographic as one of New Zealand’s toughest gives a good indication of Myers’ experience. “Darren had done lots of tramping in the UK. He’s done six weeks crossing the Pyrenees in France, plenty of major expeditions, and big mountain bike tours in places such as Wales. “In the time he’s been in New

trends”, as happened with the Waiohine group. “The reasons for some sites having deteriorating trends and being in a poor state can vary but is generally the result of excess contaminants from our urban centres, our rural lands, both from horticulture and agriculture, that make their

way into our waterways.” LAWA is a partnership between the regional and unitary councils, MfE and the Cawthron Institute with support from the Tindall Foundation and Massey University. • Find out more from the report online at www. lawa.org.nz/exploredata/river-quality/.

One local spot was rated unsuitable for swimming in the most recent national report on river water quality, but experts said the overall picture was mixed. Environmental reporting agency Land, Air and Water Aotearoa (LAWA) issued its national river water quality 10-year trend summary last week, with 29 sites in Wairarapa monitored. One local site – the Ruamahanga River at Masterton’s Te Ore Ore Rd was rated red and unsuitable according to the measures. By LAWA deﬁnitions, this means overall bacterial risk is important to consider based on three years of data. The overall picture was mixed, said Mark Heath, senior environmental scientist at Greater Wellington Regional Council. Heath said because of the complexity of the measures, it was important for people to look at each individual site’s state and trends to really understand what’s going on. Wairarapa has 29 sites monitored. “The whole country has some way to go before meeting our aspirations to maintain and improve river water quality,” he said. “However, there appears to be generally more improving trends than deteriorating trends in the Wairarapa, which is a real positive.” Parkvale Stream was an area of concern for him. The stream is a tributary of the Ruamahanga

The man from OSH visits

Wai Write

Patricia Byl

Iris sat in the sun waiting for the man from OSH (Occupational Safety and Health). He‘d rung last week saying with the new April regulations he had to inspect all farm buildings and they’d made an appointment for today. He arrived on time saying, “I’m Michael but I think we met last year. By the way where is William?”. “He died.” “I’m sorry I had no idea. What will happen about your job? You’ll have no trouble getting another one I could put in a good word for you.” “It’s okay. William was my father. I’m the only child. I’m running the farm now.” They went around all the buildings looking for health and safety issues. He liked the new woolshed especially the handrail. Michael worried about the bottom step of the woolshed but said he would check it all at home in a book and would call in one day and tell her what he found out. As he was leaving Michael said, “I lived on this farm as a small boy. My father was the manager. We left here in

not the philandering type.” “That’s just what the neighbours said.” “You asked the neighbours!” “Yes. Dad said to be careful about fortune hunters so I am.” “You certainly are! By the way there’s nothing wrong with the woolshed step. Did you know you have to have a duster tied to the handrail so in pouring rain you can wipe it.” That doesn’t make sense.” “It’s a joke.” “It’s a joke against OSH! Aren’t you biting the hand that feeds you?” “I guess I am.” “Well. I won’t tell anyone.” • Patricia Byl is a member of the Blairlogie Writers’ Group. • The group meets on the last Friday of each month. • Phone 06 378 7606 or 06 379 8021 for more information.

Wai-Bush looking good for HOROWHENUA-KAPITI 20 WAIRARAPA-BUSH 25

RUGBY

Chris Cogdale

Sport

Farriers Wairarapa-Bush coach Joe Harwood was happy to take the five points from an ugly 25-20 bonus point win over Horowhenua-Kapiti (HK) at Memorial Park on Saturday. The victory has moved Wai-Bush to second equal (third on points’ difference) with North Otago and in touching distance of a Meads Cup semi-final with only one game to play against the struggling Mid Canterbury. The home side scored four tries to two in an error-ridden effort which left Harwood frustrated that his team didn’t make the most of their opportunities, including during a 10-minute period in the first half when HK were down to 14 men with a player in the sin bin. “That’s been us for most of the season to be honest. “We’ve failed to put teams away when we’ve had them under pressure, but we just managed to hang in there at the end, so well done to the boys. “We had quite a few opportunities out there today, but we just weren’t clinical enough.

“I think of the number of times we probably turned it over first-phase and I thought we were poor. “We had some good quality ball at times and just didn’t finish it. “We know where we’ve got to work, and at the moment we’re just pleased to take the five points and to move onwards and upwards.” The visitors made the better start and caught Wai-Bush napping when powerful openside flanker Nathan Kendrick leapt to catch the kickoff and take the ball within 10m of the goal line. The inevitable penalty came and first-five Ethan Reti converted for an early 3-0 lead. First-five Tim Priest levelled the scores after 14 minutes, with a penalty handy to the posts. Three minutes later the green and reds took the lead when winger Logan Hebenton-Prendeville showed good strength to break a tackle and score. Priest, who had a poor day with the boot, kicking two from five, missed the conversion. Wai-Bush were now starting to assert their dominance and with HK hooker Dean Ropata yellow carded for bringing down a lineout drive they

Wai-Bush did finally crack the HK defence when fullback Inia Katia hit the line and passed to wide ranging hooker Bruce Kauika-Petersen, who put winger Tristan Flutey away for the first of his two tries and a 15-3 lead. Reti responded with his second penalty to make it 15-6 at the interval. Flutey was soon

should have taken control. Instead silly mistakes and lack of patience cost the home side. Also, at this time HK were hit with the first of two major injuries, which held up play for several minutes. Lock Tainui Woodmass was taken to hospital by ambulance with a serious leg injury.

in for his second try, and his seventh for the championship, when he ran a beautiful diagonal line on a set play to score handy to the posts and establish a 20-6 advantage. HK’s injury woes continued with blindside Arron Lahmert also suffering a serious leg injury and being taken away by ambulance.

Bruce Kauika-Petersen turned in a man-of-thematch performance. PHOTO/JADE CVETKOV

Rather than deﬂate the visitors it tended to lift them, and they dominated large parts of the remainder of the game. Winger Himiona Henare brought HK right back into the game when he easily beat two men to score and with Reti’s conversion there were only seven points separating the teams.

Wai-Bush’s lead was back to 12 points after 53 minutes when replacement winger Cameron Hayton scored with his first touch of the ball. A counterattack was started by Priest, who chip kicked for Flutey to run on to and pass to KauikaPetersen and then on to lock Andrew McLean, who set up fast second phase ball. Priest hit the gap at speed and fed Hayton to score. HK weren’t done with though and when Kendrick took a quick tap penalty and caught the Wai-Bush defence napping, the score was 25-20 with 20 minutes to play. Both teams had their opportunities to score but for poor handling and wrong option taking. In a tense finish HK almost snatched a late victory. With time nearly up on the clock, Wai-Bush replacement first-five Tipene Haira knocked on a simple pass. From the attacking scrum the HK forwards tried to rumble it over the line. Awarded a penalty, they set another scrum, and the forwards again tried to muscle over, but the knock on came and referee Richard Gordon from Wellington signalled fulltime.

NO DEPOSIT 0% INTEREST for 36 MONTHS

For the home side, Kauika-Petersen was outstanding on defence, and with ball in hand in broken play, creating space for his supporting players. McLean and fellow lock Lachie McFadzean were all toil and graft at the breakdown, as was the underrated prop Sam Gammie. Regular captain James Goodger, back from an injury break, came on for the last 20 minutes and made an immediate impact hitting a HK back in a bone crunching tackle and then expertly winning a kickoﬀ. Despite his goalkicking woes, Priest was dangerous on the counterattack and his kicking in general play was precise and often had HK on the back foot. Wai-Bush travel to Ashburton for the ﬁnal round robin game against the out of form Mid Canterbury on Saturday.
