Carving a new vision Honours conferred

BY GERALD FORD

New Wairarapa resident Claire Bell is cutting new tracks in the art field with her work in the rare field of glass engraving.

Claire recently moved to Masterton from Auckland, and has brought with her a distinctive brand of art.

She is currently working on a series of animal pieces, like the sheep pictured above.

Claire was born in the UK and was interested in art from an early age.

For her A level qualifications, “I had to approach a completely different medium”, and she chose leadlighting.

After some instruction in glass cutting from her father, she was left to her own devices and “I stayed in the garage until I knew how to do it”.

Moving to New Zealand at aged 18, Claire studied painting and printmaking at the Elam School of Fine Arts in Auckland, but she continued with leadlight pieces during her holidays.

Afterward she worked at Nash Glass in Auckland. She applied for a job as front of house, but ended up learning glass blowing, and was also able to incorporate her drawing skills in glass etching, both in a major collaborative project and her own work.

“I wanted to incorporate my drawing skills with the glass because one is so different from the other,” she said.

Claire was awarded a Creative New Zealand grant which enabled her to attend a three-week course

in Frauenau, Germany, at the Bild-Werk studio founded by glass pioneer Erwin Eisch.

Claire was also able to follow in the footsteps of New Zealand glass artist John Hutton, famous for window engravings of saints and angels at Coventry Cathedral in the United Kingdom.

“We had almost bought a

couple of glass panels of his (when I was) a kid.”

Claire was able to meet the late Hutton’s former apprentice, Jennifer Conway, and Hutton’s widow and daughter, with whom she stays in touch.

“They had rescued the panels I had seen as a child.”

According to Claire, there are

few people who have taken up the skills Hutton learned in working with glass.

“There’s me, him and Jenny.”

At the end of June, Claire set up her studio near Masterton and she is now applying for public sculpture work and looking to get her work into more exhibitions.

A good honest day’s not work Ford Every Stream

Gerald Ford Labour Weekend has come and gone, by the time these words reach readers.

It’s the last holiday before the big one – a long weekend for those of us fortunate enough to have it.

Holidays in New Zealand are all a bit random and accidents of history.

Labour Day commemorates workers in New Zealand winning the right to an eight-hour day, something well worth celebrating.

This makes it stand out from the other holidays, and I would suggest that for this reason it is the most honest state-sanctified holiday of the lot.

Christmas is all about presents and family, Easter about chocolate, New Year’s Day a day to recover from Auld Lang Syne, and Queen’s Birthday about well, whatever you feel like doing that weekend.

That pretty much leaves the national identity holidays of Waitangi Day (known at my place as our wedding anniversary) and Anzac Day. Then there are the regional anniversaries, as if wishing the region you happen to live in a happy birthday were the purpose of the day.

All of these days, however, share the common feature of a day off work, provided the employer can spare the worker’s presence for a day or two.

The only one that is straightforward about the real purpose of a public holiday – that of not working – is Labour Day. The fight for Easter trading,

RACHEL

The only one that is straightforward about the real purpose of a public holiday – that of not working – is Labour Day. among other things, is to me not a religious battle at all.

It comes down to companies’ right to turn a profit, and Joe or Jo Public’s right to go shopping, as against the right of the poor old worker to have a weekend off with his or her family or friends. Religious or irreligious arguments should not even come into it.

We are privileged in New Zealand to have a great collection of paid holidays to celebrate, and to be compensated if our workplaces do require us to be there.

Some newspaper reporters will be on duty, as will emergency services.

As for these last, while it is great to have them on standby, I am hoping they will not be needed for any serious clean-ups on Wairarapa roads, although as I write there was a Friday afternoon crash on State Highway 2 north of Masterton.

If you didn’t manage to rest from your labours on Labour Day this year, I trust you will have a chance to do so shortly.

And also that the next two months are not wasted in a holiday frazzle as we head towards the nation’s next big day off.

Three Wairarapa people were honoured last week with awards from the Governor-General. Jake Beleski spoke to the recipients. Tom Hullena becoming a member of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to education, presented by new Governor-General Dame Patsy Reddy, of Greytown.

Touching award for judge

Sir Ron Young received his knighthood from the Governor-General.

Greytown’s Sir Ron Young said he “never imagined in a million years that something like this would happen”.

That was the reaction of the former judge on Thursday after an investiture ceremony at Government House, where he received the insignia of a Knight Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to the judiciary.

He was given the award by fellow Greytown resident, the new Governor-General Dame Patsy Reddy.

The honour comes following a challenging few months, after his son Ben Young was killed in a car crash earlier this year.

The ceremony had had been a special occasion to share with his

family, he said.

“It’s such a fantastic honour – it was a lovely ceremony.

“It was very touching and I know my family will be very touched by it as well.”

Mr Young had his wife, daughter, son and two daughters-in-law present to celebrate the occasion.

It was a privilege to be honoured on such a prestigious stage, he said.

“It’s fantastic, when you start off in a job in your twenties you never imagine in a million years that something like this would happen, so I’m very honoured.”

Mr Young was Chief District Court Judge from 1993 until 2001, and was responsible for the effective and efficient running of the 112 judges from family and

youth, criminal and civil court jurisdictions.

He also sat on the Divisional Courts of the Court of Appeal of New Zealand and is a judge of the Vanuatu Court of Appeal.

When asked to pick out career highlights, he said there were a couple that stood out.

“Being president of the Electoral Commission was a great experience, and I guess I did a lot of difficult appeals in the Court of Appeal over the years.

“There were a number of cases that were, at the time at least, in the media and they were all interesting.”

He retired as a judge of the High Court in 2015, but remains on the Vanuatu Court of Appeal.

Makoura was Tom’s highlight Crimestoppers man honoured Mr Hullena was at Government House in Wellington on Thursday to receive the insignia for becoming a member of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to education.

He was given the award by new Governor-General Dame Patsy Reddy, of Greytown.

He said his time at the school was the pinnacle of his achievements.

“Certainly my time at Makoura College was right up there.

“Being part of the team that turned the school around and being part of that community was a real privilege for me.”

He had provided dedicated service to education for over 30 years, but was quick to downplay the magnitude of his contribution.

“I guess I’m not a big fan of fanfare for myself so it was a bit of a ceremony to endure in some ways.

“But you do it to acknowledge your family and co-workers.

“My wife, mother, mother-inlaw, daughter and one of my sons are all here as well.”

Mr Hullena spent four years as a lecturer and teacher-educator at Victoria University before being appointed principal at Makoura College in 2009 – which at the time was a low-decile school

Former Makoura College principal Tom Hullena had no hesitation when asked to identify the highlight of his working career.

destined for closure.

He led the school through a period of significant philosophical, cultural and structural innovation.

The result was a studentcentred approach to learning and an improved school culture based on care, inclusion, effective relationships, high expectations and personal and social responsibility.

“It was definitely one of the most pleasing journeys of my career and was certainly one of the most challenging in terms of where the school was at a few years ago.”

In 2014 Makoura College was awarded the Prime Ministers Education Excellence Award - the Atakura Award for ‘Excellence in Leading’.

The next stage of his journey was to work out what to do next, Mr Hullena said.

“I’ve been on a short-term contract with the Ministry of Education which will finish at the end of the year.

“Then there will be an opportunity to decide where to next and what the next professional journey will be, as well as where my passions lie.”

Crimestoppers Trust founder John Perham was always an optimist, but even he could not have predicted just how successful his trust would turn out to be.

The Carterton resident was rewarded yesterday when he received his insignia as an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to philanthropy and the community.

The trust is a charity, independent from police, where people can anonymously provide information about crime and wrongdoing.

Mr Perham said initially he had no idea how successful it would be. “When you start off with something that invites the public to communicate you don’t know whether they will take it up or not,” he said.

The trust had gone from an interesting idea “to being a vital channel of information for police intelligence purposes”.

The project was built around a team of people coming together to fulfil a purpose, rather than the success of one man, he said.

“I feel very humbled to be recognised but like most things it

was a team effort and the captain takes the cup - and I just happen to be the captain.”

Mr Perham’s career included directing a number of stateowned enterprises, running a large superannuation fund, contributing to the restructuring of the government of Victoria and being tax commissioner for the New Zealand Government.

He was also a key driver of the Safer Schools initiative which contributed to a substantial reduction in burglaries and property damage across the education sector.

Each part of his career had been a stepping stone to his success, he said.

Pilot’s new flight path

BY GERALD FORD

When Carterton rescue pilot Dean Herrick was ready to return to his mechanical roots, it helped to find a supportive business.

For the past five years Dean has flown rescue missions for Life Flight, which is based in Wellington but also covers Wairarapa.

After deciding to look for work closer to home, Dean connected with Fagan Ford, who are Life Flight’s vehicle sponsor.

Dean’s wife Sherry is the partnerships and development manager for Life Flight, who earlier this year signed up Fagans through dealer principle Keith Allen, to the tune of three new vehicles.

“Sherry came in to see me. It was a no-brainer for us,” Keith remembers.

“We’ve all had experience with it (the Life Flight service). It’s such an integral part of the health system here.

“Our rural customers use it. When people need to be in Wellington and are seriously hurt… we’d be stuffed without it.”

Dean grew up in rural Carterton. He trained in the automotive industry and did his flying training in Masterton.

He worked in the automotive trade in Auckland before becoming a fulltime pilot.

“I had a natural interest in the mechanical side of it, which definitely helps in the flying.”

Before returning to Carterton five years ago, Dean had been flying for the Hawkes Bay rescue helicopter service.

“Wairarapa is home for me,” he said.

“The opportunity came to do some flying down here. We thought … we should jump at it.”

In his five years at Life Flight, Dean has flown some interesting missions, including into the Tararua Ranges and along the Wairarapa coast.

One memorable one was the search Carterton local who had been kayaking in Wellington and was swept out to sea.

“They were all looking in the wrong area,” he said.

“It was one of those jobs where you know he’s gone if you don’t spot him.”

Giving up the flying was “not an easy decision to make”, Dean said, but was about spending more time with family.

When he was on call for Life Flight he had to stay overnight at the base in Wellington.

His and Sherry’s children are now 5 and 2 years old.

“You get one go at being a dad,” Dean said.

Dean Herrick, right, is a former Life Flight pilot who is now the service manager at Fagan Ford in Masterton. The connection developed after Fagan dealer principle Keith Allen, left, offered to supply the rescue operators with three new cars.

Region soaks up olive oil awards

Julie Winder of Greytown Olives with the winning entry, Best Label in the New Zealand Oil Awards held at parliament in Wellington.

PHOTO.SUPPLIED

An olive oil expert says a resemblance to Italy would have contributed to Wairarapa’s recent award success.

The 2016 New Zealand Extra Virgin Olive Oil Awards was held last week, and the region took home 55 of the 128 medals.

Chef Rachel Priestley was one of the judges.

Ms Priestley owns Italian restaurant La Pancetta in Greytown and has opened multiple restaurants in Italy, where she lived for over 10 years.

She said the Wairarapa climate was similar to that of Italy, and olive groves generally go hand-in-hand with vineyards.

It is “the climate and the terroir - the soil and the wind” which made the region ideal for vines and olive trees, she said.

The awards involve blind taste tests, “so we don’t know whose oils we’re tasting or where they are from” Ms Priestley said.

Greytown’s Juno Olives won 12 medals at the awards, including Best Flavoured Oil, Best in Class and Gold, for its Blood Orange Olive Oil. Karen Juno attributes Wairarapa’s medal success to environmental factors, good processing standards and overall good grove management practice.

The Olive Press Ltd, situated in Greytown, took away Best Processor 2016.

The press, which services Hawke’s Bay to Kapiti, also won Gold and Best in Class for its olive oil blend, Pressed Gold.

The press’s managing director, Bruce McCallum, said unlike many other presses, the Greytown press aimed to produce

only extra virgin olive oil.

He said Wairarapa olive growers tended to be “more dedicated” than those in other regions.

Leafyridge Olives took home 10 medals.

Co-owner Ruth Leaf-Wright credits Wairarapa’s oil success to the region’s free-draining soil and its “hot summers and cold winters”.

“We do look after our groves in Wairarapa, we’ve got good management processes in place, we make sure the trees are disease free and we prune them regularly.”

At the awards, 16 medals went to Kapiti, 12 to Canterbury, 11 to Hawkes Bay, nine to Nelson, eight each to Auckland and Northland, four each to Waiheke Island and Bay of Plenty and one to Central Otago.

The idea of timber logs being railed out of the district is music to environmental ears. Common sense has prevailed at last!

So the hill (sorry, the Pass) has its uses after all!

But why did it have to take so long? Well, I suppose it can take years to get opposition – the vested interests - to see the needs of the public, and even longer to really care.

Look how long it has taken to get rail really going in Auckland!

Our family could relate to these statistics as we considered the residual ‘trauma’ of our previous relocations in years past.

Arming ourselves with several checklists from google searches, articles outlining “moving handy hints” on various websites and a readiness to move, we made a plan for preparedness.

Our plan was elevated to a whole other level when we recognized we could utilize local support and cost-saving alternatives.

existing members. It’s also an excellent opportunity to sell any surplus goods left over at the new place. New Green Dollar listings are regularly emailed out to members.

• Use Green Dollar resources to save cash For example, you can save a bundle of cash by hiring a trailer from a Green Dollar member. By looking through the Green Dollar offerings list you can find goods and services to meet your specific needs as well as avoiding commercial rates/prices.

• Reduce your workload In our case, we decided to get support from Green Dollars members to clean the house we were moving out of. On the final day, our energies were spent on all the other last minute details and moving in to our new abode.

• Treat yourself Surely a new beginning requires an element of celebration and/or self-care.

Whether it’s new furnishing/décor, a massage - right through to a weekend away, you have plenty of options to explore with the Green Dollar directory. Did you know you can stay in a bach at Riversdale Beach, or have time-out in a motel in Napier for full Green Dollars? That’s a pretty impressive saving on the family holiday budget.

United voices build community Ra Smith A mokopuna of Wairarapa You know you’re from Wairarapa when you go to the beach and when you arrive at your destination there is another vehicle and you think: overcrowded.

School students throughout Wairarapa lifted their voices in kapa haka last week. The one voice here was mainly a Maori voice. It is a rite of passage in

New Zealand to perform the haka and sing waiata. Now, in Wairarapa, a rite of passage is performing with a Wairarapa Maori voice.

The planned world record attempt by all the Year 1 to Year 8 students of Wairarapa to perform the homegrown haka, “Ko Wairarapa” has been a point of provincial pride. It is a pride in the Wairarapa Maori voice. Recently Kahutara School performed this haka for me in Hauariki marae. My thoughts raced back to the poet’s aspirations, “Not I, some child born in a marvelous year, will learn the trick of standing upright here” (in New Zealand). The Wairarapa voice is being heard and we owe our children a debt of gratitude for supplying the

GOT GOLD? GET CA$H

volume. These are voices that work with others.

The unified voice is undervalued. The voice standing for a position and winning the argument is often heard above the voice that works with others. Reflecting on the current American election in what should be a choice between two voices but all I hear is distasteful utterances. It could be about collaborating to include all voices so they can build a community for everyone. Every community has this choice between the voices of the supposed winners of the Kardashian variety or the voice of the whole community.

Our recently completed local body elections allowed for a community voice.

What can be concluded from people

choosing not to vote and not using their voices? Could the competing noises from Facebook, Twitter or Instagram make the local voice insignificant? Why would we want a voice in local issues like neighbourhood parks, clean waterways or better community infrastructure, when you can voice an opinion about world affairs?

One of the ways we find a voice in Wairarapa is in the solitude of our place, where we have time to think, time to think how our single voice can be a part of the community voice. Fads come and go, but home can be our rock.

You know you’re from Wairarapa when your voice joins your neighbours.

PRETTY PERENNIAL PETUNIAS

KUMARA TIME

Kumara has a long association with NZ. It was first brought to our shores by Maori migrating from Polynesia in the 13th Century.

Potatoes and kumara are both root crops and share the same preferences for a position in full sun and well drained soil but in most respects they have different growing requirements because they are not members of the same plant family. Kumara belongs to the convolvulacea family, along with the hated invasive convolvulus.

Kumara are an excellent source of vitamins and minerals, are virtually fat-free, cholesterol-free and very low in sodium. Kumara have more fibre than oatmeal and provide many essential nutrients, including vitamin B6, calcium and iron.

VARIETIES

There are a host of varieties grown throughout NZ, the most popular being the red variety. We sell the red kumara in pots of 6-8 plants, which should be planted out individually.

Other colours sometimes available are gold or orange. Each variety has a deliciously different colour and taste.

Red kumara has a creamy white firm textured flesh and tastes delightfully mellow. Gold has a soft texture and is slightly sweeter. The orange variety is firm and tastes the sweetest.

HOW TO GROW

The sweet potato requires a long warm growing season. There are a lot of different methods used to grow sweet potatoes, some work, some don’t, but whatever you do, plant them in a free draining loose sandy soil with a hard pan about a foot under the surface. If you don’t have a clay pan under the soil bury something like corrugated iron a foot under the soil to act as a hard pan. If your soil is too heavy, then a heavy dressing of gypsum will fix this while encouraging worms and aerating the soil. Heavy soils can lead to the skins being covered in a patchy brown virus.

If there is no hard pan, and you have fertile soil, the tops will go for miles and you’ll get no kumara. If they do start spreading, lift the vines off the ground to prevent them rooting. Do so throughout the growing season.

One popular method is to make ridges and furrows, and plant the kumara along the top of the ridges or mound up the soil about 20cm (8 in) before planting.

Prepare the soil well in advance and blend in a balanced fertilizer that is high in potash. Don’t be tempted to fertilise while plants are growing - you will encourage leaf growth as opposed to tuber growth. This is particularly so if a high nitrogen fertiliser is used. Nitrogen promotes leaf growth. With kumara and other root crops (carrots, etc ) we want to encourage root growth.

Plant out plants as soon as the threat of frost has finished in the spring. Plant 10cm deep and 40cm apart; bend the roots of the cuttings under, into a fish hook or J shape when planting so the roots face up to the top again, under the ridge of soil – this will prevent the vines from spreading too far. As the vines grow, the stems will try to put down new roots where they touch the soil.

You want to avoid this, so lift foliage regularly to encourage tuber growth and not leaf growth. Kumara can be grown in containers. I have seen a kumara plant grown indoors and climbing up the wall, it looked really nice. If you do grow kumara in pots, ensure that the pot is at least 30cm deep. Kumara require plenty of water through the summer to ensure good sized tubers. Sweet potato is usually trouble-free in the home garden but don’t plant it in the same spot twice.

HARVEST

Harvest once leaves start to die down or turn yellow in the autumn. Dig them up and leave them on top of the soil to dry for a few days before storing.

Shirley Nightingale

It takes a lot to make me at a loss for words but there have been a spate of books recently that have done just that.

The Goatman was the first book and I just had to buy it for the library. Imagine a man designing and wearing an exoskeleton, sucking up pre-digested grass through a tube and living with a herd of wild goats. Got to be completely nutty makes for interesting reading though.

Then what do I find but another book where a man and his young son go off and live like badgers underground, eating worms – to see what it’s like being an animal? But wait, there’s more – he then does the same as a fox, an otter and a deer. The phrase ‘Why would you do that?’ comes to mind.

A little less scary is a darling wee book called The Soul of an Octopus which doesn’t have someone trying to live like one but does reveal all about octopus secrets – a real little beauty. The Secret Life of Trees is exactly what it says and another gorgeous read.

Enough about books, the season of madness has begun – Guy Fawkes displays everywhere, Gladstone Scarecrow festival (always great fun to drive around with the

kids to spot them) and the inevitable rise of Christmas promotions.

It is exciting getting to the holiday season and we are gearing up for the EC Read children’s’ holiday reading programme at the libraries. Get them signed up early as places go quickly.

There are so many prizes up for grabs and lots of fun activities. All the Wairarapa libraries run it. As well as that the swimming pools will be opening at the end of November or early December – no opening date available at the moment.

Talking of swimming pools, thanks to everyone who supported the Dalefield School pool fund. Enough was raised to refurbish the pool and it will be operational very soon. It is so important to teach our children to swim – we don’t want to lose anyone to the water. We are really lucky to have a public swimming pool in each town, use them as much as you can as the season is short.

I’ve certainly never lived anywhere with such easy access to facilities like this or so cheap. Carterton’s pool is free, yay, but the others are only a few dollars.

The kids can spend hours there having fun, take a picnic, lots to drink and sunscreen and it’s a great day out. That’s all for now - get out there and enjoy the great outdoors, but don’t forget to take a book. Enjoy reading about being a goat but don’t go and do it yourself, grass is boring to eat. I’d rather have chocolate any day.

Book that movie

11

Poker run spoils

There Is No Spoon Shayla Morgansen “The book was better.”

We’ve all heard the book fans’ cry. Every year, cinema takes beloved novels and transforms them into movies, for better or worse. If the original readers’ responses are anything to go by, these renditions are almost universally terrible. But are they?

Many of us have loved books.

We love the worlds authors create and we love their meandering, graceful pace, the beauty of their prose and the flexibility of their structures – all the things that make a novel unique and lovable.

When we hear our fave story is being converted to film, we are initially ecstatic. We remember the enjoyment of reading the book and imagine experiencing that all over again, only in movie form.

We are almost always disappointed.

What we tend to forget is that novels and screenplays are very different storytelling mediums, and are written very differently, inevitably resulting in a very different product.

What reads beautifully does not always translate well to screen, and chapters of introspective discussion that can be read over days or weeks are often difficult to convey convincingly with only

Jurassic Park. Many people don’t know it was first a book. PHOTO/GETTY IMAGES

100 minutes to tell the whole story.

Great scenes or subplots from books get cut in the pursuit of making the greatest movie possible from the source material, and I feel your pain – it makes me mad, too. What happened to Hermione’s House Elf rights campaign in Goblet of Fire? Where was Tom Bombadil in Lord of the Rings? The purist in me demands faithfulness to the original work.

The recent commercial success of book-to-screen adaptations like The Hunger Games, Gone Girl and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo says not everyone feels so strongly about it. Over the next couple of years, dozens and dozens of films are going to come out, and a decent fraction of those will be inspired by books.

Some, we won’t even realise are book adaptations, just as

many people don’t know that Jurassic Park and its first sequel The Lost World were originally books by author and physicist Michael Crichton. Others we will hear all about and these may incur serious eye-rolls as we wonder how such trash gets such notoriety.

What we must keep in mind, however, is that books and their films are separate, discrete works.

The movie can’t be all the book was and shouldn’t be a viable replacement for reading.

If you want the full imaginative experience, read the book. If you’ve got two hours and you’re prepared to forgo some of the less-essential story elements from the book in exchange for a punchy visual experience, brave the movie. Those of us in Middle Earth know it can actually be done pretty well.

College gets nets The Eastern and Central Community Trust helped Wairarapa College to purchase new cricket nets in time for the new season, trust general manager Jonathan Bell said last week.

The college urgently needed the new nets after its previous equipment was ruled off limits due to health and safety concerns, with collapsed framing and an uneven ground surface.

The Wairarapa Cricket

Association reports a 23 percent growth in juniors playing cricket Wairarapa College has at least eight cricket teams and is one of a small number of schools that fields two girls’ teams.

The college nets are also used by rep teams, Lansdowne Cricket Club and other players, Mr Bell said.

College students themselves have raised more than $5000, which, he says is evidence they value the nets.

Orchid Circle

ANNUAL SHOW

The wind picked up. The pages fluttered. My grandmother packed her suitcase and flew through half the sky, pulling her son after her as though they were stuck together, stretching the paper trails through the clouds like a path to another world. She spoke no English. Hadn’t worked for forty years. She was afraid.

With prose like this Solway College student Varvara Sidorenko was chosen as a finalist for the Katherine Mansfield Short Story Award, held in the National Library last Tuesday, October 18.

The money for the award – judged by Mandy Hager – had been bequeathed by former Solway College head prefect Gay Saker (formerly Nimmo) during World War II. Gay died three years ago and the award was presented by her son.

While Varavara did not win the award, she did gain the experience of meeting new people including other writers.

Solway College experienced success in creative writing earlier this year with Year 10 student Zoe Levack winning the North and South short story competition.

Chanel College Year 13 student and Arts’ Captain, Luke Hempleman, who represented Wairarapa at the Shakespeare Globe Centre New Zealand National Shakespeare Schools Production held in Dunedin, has been selected to go to London as a member of the Young Shakespeare Company.

Forty-eight students were eligible and 24 were selected. The team will travel to the Globe Theatre in London in July 2017.

Luke said his heart stopped when his cellphone lit up with a call from Dawn Sanders, chief executive of Shakespeare Globe Centre New Zealand as he was waiting on news of his selection.

“When she offered me a place in the Young Shakespeare Company 2017, it stopped again … I didn’t think it was possible to feel so many emotions in a oneminute phone call.”

More than 100,000 students from all over New Zealand have participated in the annual regional and national University of Otago Sheilah Winn Shakespeare Festival run by Globe Centre New Zealand annual Shakespeare competitions since they began in 1991. These competitions have been described as the most exciting Shakespeare festival in the world.

Luke aspires to a career in the performing arts. Nathan Holder and Claire Hills, co-directors of the Chanel Shakespeare productions, say they have watched his talent for both tragedy and comedy develop and grow since he first joined Chanel Shakespeare in Year 9.

Luke has performed in Macbeth, and Hamlet, A Midsummer Night’s Dream and The Merchant of Venice. In the Wairarapa regional finals he played King Claudius in Hamlet and at the national finals he was selected to play Macbeth. He also played one of the leading roles as CIA agent Chuck Rogers in I Spy, the senior Chanel drama

production this year.

Luke has played several roles in Masterton Amateur Theatricals (MATS) productions, this year Gaston in Beauty and the Beast and he is currently playing Geordie, the young bull, in Jersey Girls.

An accomplished public speaker Luke won the 2015 O’Shea Shield Oratory Cup and the senior section of the Wairarapa Intercollegiate Speaking Competition.

Luke was a member of the six-strong Chanel College debating team coached by Kathryn Miles – which placed fourth in the Russell McVeigh competition in Wellington involving 24 colleges.

Snow training day for searchers

BY NIGEL BONIFACE The area covered by members of Wairarapa Search and Rescue involves a variety of terrain, from coastal beaches to the open tops of the Tararua Ranges. One of the most challenging environments would be snow-covered tussock in mid-winter. Fortunately we do not get a lot of such callouts - only one last year - but we still need to train to keep team members current and introduce new members to the cold, snow, and ice.

With snow not always being a reliable factor in the Tararuas we usually go to Mt Ruapehu for winter skills training, where, once the ski season ends, we can be accommodated on the mountain at Tukino.

So it was in mid-October that 16 members left on Friday evening for the drive to Tukino, despite a forecast of wind and rain it was a good drive, but considerably cooler at 1700m on the mountain than in Masterton.

After an early night everyone was up early, making preparations for the morning activities of learning how to use crampons and ice axes, step cutting in snow, self-arresting should

you fall, and how to recognise various snow conditions. The weather was overcast and cold, with blowing snow, so a useful learning experience, and a good test of clothing and equipment suitability.

The afternoon was taken up with putting those skills into practice, and working as a team to practice search techniques in the environment.

With eight participants being new to these winter skills this training will enhance the ability of Wairarapa SAR to put search teams into the field during winter.

Sunday dawned fine and sunny, but a strong south westerly was keeping it cool. Today was to be a two-hour plus walk up to

Whangaehu Hut, at nearly 2100m it was only 300m higher than our lodge but still a good workout in the snow and ice. On the descent the opportunity to give members the experience of abseiling was a bit of a bonus. Returning back to the lodge early afternoon it was then time for a tidy up, pack up, and drive back to Masterton.

Wairarapa SAR would like to thank our sponsors: Wairarapa Building Society for helping provide protective clothing, Trust Lands Trust for financing training opportunities, NZ Police, LandSAR partners in Search and Rescue. e-mail: wairarapasar@xtra. co.nz.

Children from Alfredton School tackled some practical science recently in the week of their school science fair.

The week featured science activities in the lunch hour, visitors who talked about science in their jobs, and take-home instructions for small science experiments with everyday household ingredients.

Pupils used experiment and observation to answer such questions as: What bridge structure could withstand a large earthquake? Which wood makes the best firewood? What is the best model of paper plane? Does exercise make your dog’s heart beat faster? And do dogs have a favourite colour?

THE BLACK FALCONS TO DEBUT AT WINGS OVER WAIRARAPA For the first time in New Zealand The Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) will debut the recently formed ‘Black Falcons’ aerobatic display team at the Wings over Wairarapa Air Festival in February 2017.

The Black Falcons have replaced the former RNZAF display team, the Red Checkers.

The five T-6C Texan II aircraft, all piloted by experienced RNZAF pilot instructors, will thrill visitors with a 10 minute aerobatic display over Hood Aerodrome.

Squadron Leader Brett Clayton says the Black Falcons are midway through their work up season and are now linking all of the individual pilot flying components into the complete display.

“The aircraft are performing very well; the Texans have nice handling characteristics. We’ve got to keep in mind that these are large aircraft, not the smaller CT4’s that the Red Checkers previously used, and there are things that the CT4’s could do that we can’t do with the Texans.”

“Because of this we’ve put in a considerable amount of work into

designing a display sequence that shows the grace of the Texan and demonstrates it in its best light. It will be a thrilling display, a contrast of power and noise equalled by polished aerobatics.”

After the Black Falcons have performed they will be at Hood Aerodrome to mix with visitors and answer questions about their display and the RNZAF.

Solway College OCTOBER NEWSLETTER 2016

UNIVERSITY SCHOLARSHIPS FOR 2017 Solway College is very proud of five Year 13 students who have gained university scholarships for next year. From left Bayley Pugh (Victoria University Excellence Scholarship), Kimihia Joseph (University of Otago Alumni Appeal Entrance Scholarship), Varvara Sidorenko (University of Canterbury Residential Learning Scholarship), Claudia Wildman (University of Otago Leaders of Tomorrow Entrance Scholarship) and Atarea Puketapu – Victoria University Excellence Scholarship).

We wish all our Year 13 leavers good luck for next year.

INTERCOLLEGIATE SOLO MUSIC COMPETITION In early September, the Intercollegiate Solo Music Competition was held at Rathkeale College. We had three competitors from Solway. Tee Hao-Aickin played Bach on the violin, her sister Danielle sang her own composition in the amplified section as did Caitlin Kinzett-Brown. Well done to Danielle who came second in her section.

JOINING THE DOTS BETWEEN VARVARA SIDORENKO AND KATHERINE MANSFIELD …

Varvara Sidorenko in Year 13 was chosen as one of ten finalists for the Katherine Mansfield Short Story Award, which was held in the National Library last week. While Varvara did not win the award, she won a number of other things: experience, congratulations, and the opportunity to meet new people. Varvara’s writing related the journey of her Russian grandmother to New Zealand. Solway College also experienced success in creative writing earlier in the year when Year 10 student, Zoe Levack, won the North & South magazine short story competition.

THE SOLWAY INTER-SCHOOL DRESSAGE EVENT. With record entries, Solway College again hosted the InterSchool Dressage Competition at the Solway Showgrounds last week. This was once again an extremely successful event, catering for students from Year 1 to 13.

Contestants came from all over the lower North Island and there were 110 riders and 117 horses.

www.solwaycollege.school.nz

We look forward to the establishment of the Solway Equestrian Academy, opening in 2017.

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH SCHOOLS CENTENNIAL HYMN RECORDING 2016 is the Centennial year for Solway and for a number of our brother and sister schools in the Presbyterian Church Schools network. Rev Malcolm Gordon, a well-known composer of New Zealand Christian music and songs has composed a hymn “Pioneers of Hope” for use in schools and churches. Singers representing Presbyterian church schools gathered at Scots College in Wellington to record the hymn.

Solway was represented by Madeleine Somerville, Charlotte Lake and Mairead Shannon. After full day’s rehearsal and a recording session of two and half hours the hymn was finally wrapped up.

LOOKING AHEAD… Solway College Organisation of Parents (SCOOP) is holding a garden party on Saturday 19 November 2016 at Solway College from 8:00 am to 2:00 pm. Plants, baking, fresh produce and gourmet food and wine will be available and we look forward to welcoming visitors to our school.

What makes Enliven different Enliven’s homes provide much more than just a home and clinical care. They support opportunities for companionship, fun, and a sense of purpose – the things that add life to life!

This is the message from Enliven’s general manager Nicola Turner, who says the secret to what makes Enliven’s Kandahar Home and Kandahar Court in Masterton so vibrant and homely lies within their unique model of care, the Eden Alternative.

“Since we began using the Eden Alternative philosophy in all Enliven homes in 2008 we have seen notable positive changes to the overall wellbeing of our residents, as well as changes in how our staff work alongside them,” Nicola explains.

“This is because Eden has changed the way we support people in our homes. People’s abilities may Enliven’s Kandahar change as they Home and Kandahar age, but instead of focusing on Court in Masterton allow pets to visit and what people can’t do we even move in with support them to their owners.

COMMUNITY EVENTS

continue doing the things they’ve always done.”

Nicola says Enliven is one of just a handful of aged care providers actively practicing the Eden Alternative.

The Eden principles touch on ideas such as variety and spontaneity, companionship, contact with animals and children, continuing hobbies and ensuring residents have choice and control, including being part of the decision making around how the homes are run.

“Our interests motivate and challenge us, give us fulfilment, a sense of belonging, purpose and achievement. Without meaningful activity, people can’t truly thrive,” Nicola explains.

“We believe in supporting a person’s entire wellbeing. That means as well as healthcare, we focus on empowering and supporting elders to have meaning, purpose, companionship and activity in their lives – it’s about supporting people to live life to the fullest regardless of their situation.”

Enliven’s Kandahar Home and sister-site Kandahar Court provide a full spectrum of aged care including rest home, hospital, dementia, health recovery and respite.
