Safe driving: It’s not hard Emily Ireland

Relay a dying wish Terri-Lee GovernorWiremu’s dying wish was granted when she married long-time partner Joe Wiremu on September 30, 2017. Next month, another wish will be fulfilled when a team of her friends and family take part in the Wairarapa Relay for Life in her memory. Terri-Lee was 34 when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She completed all her treatments, but the cancer returned four years later
in 2015 and eventually she became terminally ill. The Wairarapa community rallied to fundraise for the wedding, and Terri-Lee lost her cancer battle 10 days after the ceremony. The Whakawhanaungatanga team of early childhood teachers are relaying in memory of Terri-Lee – Terri Lee herself took part in several Relays for Life, and before she died she had asked her mates to carry on this year
without her. Whakawhanaungatanga, which means relationships formed with a common purpose, is a team of 20 friends and family, including Terri-Lee’s husband and children. Team Leader, Kirstan Grey, said Terri-Lee was always positive and strong. “She had a humungous heart. “Terri-Lee was an allround loved person, well known for involvement in kapa haka and early childhood education and
a huge inspiration to all of us. “At the last Relay for Life she had radiotherapy treatment on the Friday and turned up to relay with us the next day and kept going all through the night. “When she knew she was terminal she asked me to organise a team for the next event and it was to be called Whakawhanaungatanga, which means relationships

A succession of dangerous drivers filled Masterton District Court on Monday, with a raft of 28 charges collectively, providing an insight into the questionable behaviours occurring on Wairarapa roads. One Wairarapa man was clocked driving 180kmh, another 46-year-old man caused a New Year’s spectacle with a loud and smoky burn-out around the entire Martinborough Square, while a third man found himself literally face to face with a policeman after another burnout attempt. Also among the 28 driving offences on yesterday’s court list was a Masterton woman facing charges of driving drunk causing the death of an eight-year-old girl, as well as drunk driving causing injury — the 35-year-old will plead after a sentencing indication scheduled for later this year. Wairarapa Road Safety Council manager Bruce Pauling said the “trauma and carnage that resulted from terrible decisions on the road is absolutely unacceptable”. “We are not living in the ‘wild west’ days,” he said. “We need to look at our attitudes and actions that could impact on the wellbeing of ourselves, our passengers and other road users going about their lawful day to day business. “Families are destroyed through deaths and serious injuries from crashes that are entirely preventable, and from people who do not think about consequences.” “It’s not rocket science. “Drinking? Never drive. Seatbelts on – everybody, every trip, every time. “Stick to the speed limits and drive to the conditions.”

Dreams to train top athletes Emily Ireland In a field dominated by men, Jaimee Taylor hopes to prove herself as a force to be reckoned with when it comes to training elite athletes. The St Matthew’s Collegiate old girl, now 23, has spent the past four summers working at CLM Masterton, in between her studies towards achieving a Bachelor of Physical Education majoring in Physical Activity and Health at University of Otago, and juggling other work to keep herself on track financially. Now graduated, Jaimee will be launching into her postgraduate studies in physical conditioning by correspondence from Wellington while working an internship at High Performance Sport New Zealand. Physical conditioning is the development of physical fitness through tailored training programmes and it is a fundamental fitness step for athletes in sports like hockey, rugby, netball, cycling, and athletics. Jaimee hopes to one day work with the best sporting teams in in New Zealand

and internationally, but is taking things one step at a time. It has meant partying has had to take a back seat, but Jaimee says her journey proves that with a lot of determination and hard work, anyone can make their tertiary dreams come true.
“When I finished school, I wasn’t quite ready to go to uni, so I decided to go on a gap year,” Jaimee said. “I went to Canada for a year and I was a teacher’s assistant at a school over there. “Then I worked at a summer camp and while I was there, I decided I

wanted to go do sports.” The first year of Jaimee’s studies, she received a student allowance — “which was great, but I had to get a job too”. “I got a job pretty much in O-week (orientation week). “Living was really expensive that first year
because it worked out to be something like $350$400 a week for the hall (university residence). “My student allowance was $230 a week, and I worked 10-12 hours each week as well, plus full-time study, and doing work experience. “I had $30 spending
money at the end of the week. “Everyone else was going out, and I’d be turning up for work on a Sunday morning.” This year as she launches into postgraduate study based in Wellington, her rent will be about $230 a week. “The internship I’m doing will run until December — and that’s 1015 hours a week unpaid. “So, I have to study, then I have my internship, and then I have to get a part time job as well — it’s going to be a hectic year, but it will be really good.” She hopes next year, she will land a paid job in her field. Of course, there were other things and people that influenced her career choice, namely her father Wayne Taylor who has been heavily involved in training rugby players both in New Zealand and internationally. “Ultimately, I want to work with elite athletes too,” Jaimee said. “I’m not worried about which sport … but I really want to work with a male team to break that barrier and prove that women can do what men can do.”
A tribute to loved ones Continued from page 1 formed through shared experiences, providing people with a sense of belonging by strengthening each member of the group working together for a purpose. Kirstan said Terri-Lee had asked them to relay for all those who have passed away – but she had also asked them to dress as butterflies as they relayed, so the team is going all out to fulfil her wish with butterfly backdrops and heavenly gardens. “It’s a huge tribute to her and it will all be
revealed at the event so it’s more exciting,” Kirstan said. “We want everyone touched by her to come and see what we have done in her honour. “It will be her vision come to life.” Team Whakawhanaungatanga, has started fundraising with housie evenings held at the Masterton Trust Lands Trust Education Centre, Dixon St, every Friday night, and Saturday, February 23 at the Spot. The housie organiser has donated eight sessions to support Relay for Life.
MTF Finance has also supported the team by donating money and the marquee for the set up. Family, friends, and colleagues have sponsored team members on their relay, and there will be a car boot sale on February 24. Money raised stays in Wairarapa to support the Cancer Society who work with families and people affected by cancer.
2019 Relay for Life Relay for Life, one of Wairarapa’s biggest charity events, takes place at Clareville Showgrounds from
March 16-17. Hundreds of people will be participating in the Cancer Society’s Relay For Life, which involves an 18-hour relay around the circuit.

Seniors conquer the digital age Anne Day is the first to admit, she feels like she is being “left behind” in the digital world. But Digital Seniors, a new trust helping Wairarapa’s senior’s with technology, is helping Anne build her skills and confidence. “I just felt like I was being left behind and at one point was scared to even press the Apps on my device,” Anne said, after she was given an iPad by her daughter. “It’s been a big learning curve but now I can send emails and use Facebook. “I have Netflix and Lightbox and television on demand which has been great and most importantly, I can face time my family. “I’ve still so much to learn, and I find the Digital Seniors sessions fun and very useful.” Anne is one of about 15 residents at Masterton’s Masonic Village that attend weekly fun sessions by volunteer Andre Hattingh. Here the group learn digital basics in an entertaining way, learning to send and receive texts and phone calls, download apps, use their device’s camera and set up social media accounts. She said despite her initial reservations, she has achieved several milestones that in turn build her online confidence. “My daughter face timed me last night and we were talking about Genesis Energy’s five free hours. “She offered to help me set this up online and I said, ‘I’ve already done it’. “She said ‘Oh’ and we both laughed. “It’s those moments where I realise I’ve learned quite a lot in a short time,” said Anne, a former nurseaid. Digital Seniors is a community trust providing free technology support to seniors through these entertaining sessions in retirement homes, a free phoneline for seniors to

Next month, wellknown television personality Nigel Latta will present “Stone Aged Brains in Smart Phone Times: How to Survive & Thrive in the modern world”, a special fundraiser for Digital Seniors to be held at the Carterton Events Centre. Latta, ONZM, is a psychologist, author and host of the television show Beyond The Darklands, The Politically Incorrect Guide to Teenagers, and The Politically Incorrect Parenting Show. The fundraiser is perfect timing says Hattingh, who not only wants to raise awareness of Digital Seniors, but also to recruit more volunteers to provide one-on-one help to seniors. “As far as I’m concerned there’s a lot of seniors being left behind as many of them never had the opportunity to learn technology at school or use it at work and now in their retirement are feeling isolated and lonely,” he said. “Wherever you look these days, services are increasingly online – from getting a new passport to

doing your banking. With the closing of many banks in rural areas there’s a whole bunch of seniors wondering what the hell to do about it as they may not be mobile or have access to transport to get to the next town – so they’ve been forced to do online banking but don’t have the skills to do it. “I hope that’s where Digital Seniors can fill that void.” He said it was fun helping seniors. “I’d like more of our community to become a Digital Seniors volunteer
helping seniors so they benefit from online services and socially connect”. Hattingh said the sessions introduce useful things seniors can do with technology, like finding where you parked your car in the supermarket. They are tailored to an individual’s needs so they can learn at their own pace. “What I see is many seniors are given devices from friends or family but not shown how to use them or set them up. “They often say they are too stupid to use them and that kills me to hear that. “They are not stupid at all … they just have not been exposed to digital technology.” One success story Hattingh loves to share is one participant who didn’t know how to turn a device on and off – and is now creating a digital directory

Kuranui College students gearing up for the 2019 school year.
PHOTO/SUPPLIED
College’s roll growth ignited Kuranui College principal Simon Fuller credits the school’s curriculum change with an increase in Year 9 enrolments. Fuller believes the school’s new ignite curriculum has been a major factor in a 20 per cent increase in Year 9 enrolments in 2019 and for a 46 per cent increase since the implementation of ignite in 2018. “The curriculum focuses on allowing students to follow their passions by giving them the opportunity to study subjects within contextual courses,” Fuller said. “We’re now offering 65 courses which are taught to combined Year 9 and 10 classes. “These courses are diverse and designed to be
highly engaging and cover all curriculum areas and prepare students for NCEA, while developing key skills needed in an ever-changing world.” Fuller also believes the school’s focus on stronger collaboration with the local community has helped, and points to the South Wairarapa Kahui Ako community of learning as a possible key factor. “While based in schools, [Kahui Ako] looks at involving the wider community to ensure young people experience real success,” he said. “As a whole community we now have a shared vision and shared priorities, and this is helping to provide a solid foundation for our students.”
Kuranui College also welcomed four new staff at the start of this term, two of whom are the result of the recent roll increase. The new assistant principal, William Donaldson, will be responsible for Year 9 and 10 students. He replaces Vicki Wish who has moved to take up a Deputy Principal role in Otago. Sione Tauveli takes up the role of Head of Social Science following the retirement of Vern Grant, who taught for a remarkable 34 years at the college. The school has also welcomed new Technology teacher Shane Hill and Mathematics teacher Alexandra Gregg.
Victim dies after Tauherenikau crash The 53-year-old passenger critically injured in a headon collision with a truck near Tauherenikau on January 29 has died. Craig Shields and his wife Nicky Shields had been travelling south in an SUV along SH2 around midday, when a commercial truck travelling north collided with them after crossing the centre line. The truck driver and Shields’ wife, who was driving the SUV, were reportedly uninjured
but Shields was flown to Wellington Hospital in a critical condition after being cut out of the car by emergency services. The Wairarapa couple had been on their way to the airport for Shields to catch a flight to Australia where he was a mine worker. He leaves behind two children. The truck driver was from a Hamilton-based company, Regal Haulage. Chief operations officer
Ian Palmer said that it was a “tragic situation”. “Obviously our thoughts are with the family. It’s a tragedy for everyone.” Palmer said an investigation was still underway. Last week police appealed for witnesses to the crash to get in touch – both the Serious Crash Unit and the Commercial Vehicle Investigation Unit are investigating further.

Wardrobe magic at Harlequin Emily Ireland Forget Narnia – there’s a world of magic waiting for those eager to see Harlequin Theatre’s newly reorganised costume wardrobe. From the Victorian era to the roaring 20s and flamboyant 80s, you’ll find a little bit of everything in the Masterton theatre’s wardrobe department. And now, after almost a decade of being closed to the public, the wardrobe is open for business as a costume hire outlet – on top of servicing the productions put on each year by the theatre company. The change has come about thanks to the theatre’s new wardrobe mistress Rita Ann Penhale, who brought order to the chaos that was the costume wardrobe. “It’s been eight or nine years since there was a wardrobe mistress in here, which is an awfully long time for things to be able to get mixed up and put in funny places,” Rita Ann said. “The first job was to go through and sort out what was made for people that were much smaller than people are now. “Not many of us have a 20-inch waist anymore, and the men certainly
don’t have 34-inch chests anymore as adults.” Rita Ann said in reorganising the wardrobe, she had to look at what was potentially useful for stage productions, but also what may appeal to people if they wanted to go to a themed party and were interested in costume hire. The clothes are organised into decades, and accessories are divided into categories in small boxes. “I would hate to try to guess how many garments are in the wardrobe,” Rita Ann said. “It was like a treasure hunt when we first started because a lot of things had been stored away in drawers. “I hate drawers. I find them very useful, but in this situation, they are awful because you have got to rummage through the drawer to find what you want, and if you are busy, you don’t tidy it up again. “I think people had, over time, placed things in any drawer that was convenient. “You’d think you had all the bow ties because you had emptied the bow tie drawer, and then you would open another drawer and find 20-gazillion other bow ties. “Also, you could barely walk in here before.” Theatre president Carol

Buck agreed – “even the fitting rooms were full, and you couldn’t find anything”. “Someone would say, oh
it’s up in the wardrobe, and you’d think – yeah good luck with that. “Rita Ann has done an
awesome job up here so that we can open up to the public again, which is huge for us.” People interested in costume hire can visit Harlequin Theatre on Tuesdays or Saturdays from 10am until 1pm. Hire period is one week, and no costume is to be altered in any way without prior written approval from the Harlequin wardrobe mistress. No paint or adhesives are to be applied, and any dry-cleaning required is the responsibility of the hirer. Hire fees range from
$3 to $45 depending on the item of clothing or accessory. Dress hire ranges between $20 and $30. “Ultimately, it means people who wouldn’t dream of being involved in a production, can still interact and get enjoyment from us,” Rita Ann said. • Rita Ann can be contacted on 06 3774066 or 0275043328. • Alternatively, the theatre can be emailed on harlequintheatre61@ gmail.com.

Bettering our regional economy Comment
Mike Osborne The “Wairarapa Economic Development Strategy and Action Plan”, also known as WEDSAP, was unveiled mid-November 2018 as the blueprint for taking our regional economy forward. There has been precious little engagement or discussion about the plan in local media or indeed via a road show around our local centres so that we can all understand the proposed future direction. There is a website, www.growwairarapa.nz, but oddly, for 2018 and a theme of “knowledgeintensive industries”, there is no social media presence. You can download the full plan from the website but I recommend you get a paper copy from your Council as the PDF version isn’t easy to read. There are two big factors that the plan must consider. Firstly, there’s the Zero Carbon Bill with a target of net zero emissions by 2050. Some will think, no worries we don’t have to do anything till 2048 but if the legislation has teeth it will require change in the next decade.
Secondly, Wairarapa will have less rainfall as a result of climate change (page 78). Predicating our economic future with a focus on agriculture that requires a dwindling resource – water – doesn’t make a lot of sense except that it could provide a significant opportunity. Dwindling water supply is a worldwide problem that needs solving. How can we produce the same amount of food or more using much less water? At one end, regenerative farming techniques save water and sequester carbon, and at the more extreme end, systems like aquaponics can save 90 per cent of water over traditional horticulture methods. Why couldn’t Wairarapa be a centre of excellence for dry land agriculture and horticulture and a supplier of components and expertise? Taratahi could have been, or still could be, a key element in both the transition and development of such expertise.
Regional Economic Development Minister Shane Jones speaking at the launch of the Wairarapa Economic Development Strategy in November. PHOTO/FILE
Current practices are going to lead to lower outputs: change is needed, now. The document plods along fairly predictably until you get to page 43 on ‘Water’ where the tone suddenly changes. For a strategy document it becomes rather political, “the question of freshwater reliability for the community and the economy has been hijacked by the opponents of irrigation for pastoral farming”. At this point it could be easy to think that the strategy is an elaborate justification for a dam. Smarter conservation
and use of water will be essential. Tourism and visitors is a key plank of the strategy. Sir Paul Callaghan back in 2009 cautioned against hitching ourselves to the “farm and theme park” as tourism is typically a low wage, low skill industry with a low revenue per worker ratio. In fact, wine, food manufacturing, and tourism are all below the levels needed to maintain a 2009 GDP per capita. In short, more of those will lower New Zealand’s GDP per capita and hence GDP. The Wairarapa GDP per job filled (page 75) is
very close to the national average. Knowledge and innovation are where the greater gains are. The plan is very safe and predictable but to quote US entrepreneur and marketing whiz Seth Godin, these days, “the riskiest thing you can do is play safe” (bit.ly/1U6R2OO). Callaghan Innovation are urging us to “chase the weird stuff” (bit. ly/2MU7TFt). Think Carterton-based Mende BioTech supplying totara extract to cosmetics companies such as L’Oreal and Juliet Johnston’s Sparky Can Do making tailor made costumes using
a clever business model where customers bid for a spot to have a costume made backed by a YouTube following of 90,000 subscribers. Is a top-down prescriptive strategy the right way to go? There are other approaches. Build an infrastructure that deliberately fosters and nurtures innovation unlimited by preset themes (youtu.be/ MJ5Nz1h6Qps). Or, the Fargo community-driven initiative where they “source the crowd” emulating the big disruptive e-businesses (youtu.be/rfCV-XBIu_8). Cluster development has a 20 year plus track record of success; it is touched on for the knowledge-intensive industries but could have wider applicability. There isn’t space to get into this more deeply but in conclusion, there are three main points. Firstly, businesses and individuals have to lower their greenhouse gas emissions drastically. Secondly, water is going to be a dwindling resource. Turning those lemons into lemonade will strongly determine the success of our regional economy. Thirdly, there’s money in weird.

Passionvine Hopper They’re out in force again! The ‘Fluffy Bums’ are going through their final moult and changing into the moths that ‘flit’ away when you go near them. They are often seen on a line in the stems of plants and can reach plague numbers in hot weather, causing destruction to natives, passionfruit, tomatoes, beans, ornamentals + more. The sap sucking feeders can cause young shoots to wilt and damage to leaves and the sticky ‘honeydew’ waste can cause sooty mould. The egg laying can also damage soft growth. We have a few options for you to combat them such as Beat A Bug or Yates Natures Way Pyrethrum & Oil seems to be the best way at the moment.
Ideally our gardens would be totally free of all “nasties” but sadly that isn’t the case and at this time of year there can be a few different things around. It’s always good to keep in mind that ‘Healthy Plants Fight Pests & Disease More Efficiently”, so a well fed, well watered garden will very likely not have as much trouble. Here’s a few things to keep a look out for.

Another tiny sap sucking insect that is causing problems in the home garden is the psyllid bug. They look like a small winged aphid and can cause your plants to look stunted, with curly leaves that may go yellow. The fruit develops unevenly, may be very small or odd shapes or you may get no fruit at all! You can spray with Yates Success Ultra but for future preventative measures covering plants with a quality bug netting such as Crop Safe is the best method. This bug also effects potatoes.
Apply a liquid manure as a foliar feed.

Above: a magnified look at what the psyllid bug looks like. A spray with Yates Success Ultra ($28.60) is needed. This is a useful product to have in the garden shed as it also helps with thrips, leaf roller, codling moth, pear and cherry slug and citrus leaf miner, which can also be a problem at the moment.
Blossom End Rot
Fungus Problems
This causes large brown patches at the base of tomatoes (and other fruiting crops). This is caused by poor calcium uptake, either from unreliable watering or a shortage of calcium in the soil. If your soil is acidic then digging in some Garden Lime at planting time is a good tip, along with consistent & thorough watering. If your plants have this you can remove affected fruit, be vigilant with watering from now on and liquid feed regularly with Burnet’s Tom-A-Rite.
Black spot, powdery mildew and rust can be a problem at this time – along with aphids and possibly scale. We have had great reviews for Combat 3-in-1 for Roses & Ornamentals (a systemic fungicide, insecticide & natural fish fertiliser in one) that also controls aphids, mites, thrips, caterpillars + more!
If you have Blossom End Rot then pick the fruit off and give a quick boost with Burnet’s TomA-Rite. 250ml is only $11.90, 500ml $18.90. Don’t worry if you don’t use it all up – it can be used for Buxus, African Violets, Pot Plants & Chrysanthemums.

From the Big Wai Art sale to galleries in London, Cannes and New York – what started as a childhood hobby will take a Carterton woman and her artworks across the world. Earlier this week Jacqueline Hocquard departed for London where she is exhibiting her art at the Parallax Art Fair in Kensington and Chelsea. Hocquard has been painting as long as she can remember. “I communicate with a paintbrush.” The selftaught artist grew up on a sheep and beef farm and often watched the local wildlife. “That’s where my connection with the wildlife comes from. “I remember the quails and the hares and the moreporks

on the farm.” Her Beatrix Potter-like watercolours in various shapes and sizes, feature animals common in most rural areas, including rabbits, quails, hares, hedgehogs and bees. Native birds are also a favourite subject of hers to paint. Though she grew up sketching these animals it wasn’t until she moved to Wairarapa in 2013 that she took her art seriously. “I had been living on a dairy farm in Taranaki. In
six years, I only did one painting – there was no energy left for anything else.” She found a supportive community of like-minded creatives in Carterton and entered her first public exhibition at the Big Wai Art sale after being put forward by a friend just days before the event. “I was thrown in the deep end. [But I thought] this is my opportunity to give it a go.” Hocquard works parttime at the Carterton
Library whilst running an online website for her watercolour paintings where she has gained international attention. Last year, she received an invitation to exhibit in London at the Parallax Art Fair in Kensington and Chelsea. She said it was a chance to show people overseas what people in the region are capable of. “I never dreamed it would get as big as it has. “This is all I really wanted to do. I’m doing what I love.” A short time later, she was asked to attend the Cannes art banali during the French film festival in May. But the invitations haven’t stopped – last month Hocquard was invited to exhibit at a Manhattan gallery in 2021. “I’m out that far ahead now. “For small town Carterton to be invited on to the world stage like this is amazing.” Hocquard said she’ll never miss the Wairarapa art sale though – it’s where she got her first big break. “I’m very grateful to the people who have supported and encouraged me. People in the Wairarapa are just so amazing.”
Community-led approach for Mangatarere
The Mangatarere Restoration Society are keen to follow in the footsteps of the Waiohine Action Group to manage the Mangatarere Stream. A community meeting is being hosted on Tuesday, February 19 at the Carterton Events Centre at 7.30pm to start the conversation with the Carterton community about creating a community-led river plan for the Mangatarere catchment. Organisers are encouraging as many people as possible to attend this meeting to gain an understanding of the community-led process to create a River Plan. Support is also needed to set up a Project Team to work alongside Greater Wellington Regional Council to develop the River Plan. The Waiohine Action Group came
to a solution that was appropriate and affordable for the Greytown community and the rural community of Carterton who reside on the northern side of the Waiohine, taking the price tag from $10 million down to $2 million. Speakers at the meeting will include our Greater Wellington Regional councillor Adrienne Staples, Carterton District councillor Mike Ashby, Mangatarere Restoration Society Committee Members Ester Dijkstra and Ray Craig, Waiohine Action Group members Mike Hewison and John Boon. If you aren’t able to attend this meeting but are keen to show your support, please send your apologies to jillgreathead@gmail.com.

Although this is sad for us, it will be great news for her family as she will be working for herself and will be more available to her four children. During January we set about replacing Kate and are thrilled to have appointed Elisa Vorster as the new Communications and Engagement Coordinator. Elisa has been a successful journalist for the Wairarapa Times-Age and we cannot wait to have her as part of our team. Elisa starts on the 18th of February.
LIBRARY NEWS FEBRUARY 2019 CARTERTON DISTRICT LIBRARY
Changes at the Information Centre We are sad to announce that Cheryl Jaggard, our superstar Information Centre expert, has made the difficult decision to retire and has left Carterton District Council to focus on her health and family. Although this is a positive step for Cheryl, it has left a big hole in our CDC, Events & Information centre teams and we will miss her terribly. Cheryl has been a big part of Council (and Carterton’s) growing reputation, and is always there to
make people feel welcome. She was the winner of the 2016 Emerging Enterprises Award, as part of the Charles Rooking Carter local awards ceremony, as well as a registrar, radio host, volunteer coordinator, and arts and craft teacher on our School holiday programmes! Despite her outgoing nature, Cheryl doesn’t like a fuss and wanted to segue into her new lifestyle without a big hoorah! All the best Cheryl, we will miss you!!

Celebrating Waitangi Day
Staff and volunteers gather to celebrate the next stages of the project.
Big excavations underway Things are getting busy on site at Carterton’s wastewater treatment plant with the construction of the new storage reservoirs getting underway. The team from Central Hawkes Bay Earth Movers has started excavating the site, and their large machinery can be seen from SH2. New to the project, Matt Chapman, who has recently taken over as CDC’s Project Manager role says it is extremely exciting to
February Water Usage
be working on Carterton’s largest earthworks project in recent history. “This is a big scale operation, and I’m thrilled to be a part of it. I’m keen to get a drone up in the air so we can capture the scale of the works being undertaken.” Progress images from the drone will be uploaded to councils Facebook page over the duration of the reservoirs construction.
In commemoration of Waitangi Day and the signing of the Treaty, Carterton bore two flags on each of our flagpoles; the Official New Zealand Flag (adopted by New Zealand in 1902), and the Tino Rangatiratanga Flag (recognised as the preferred national Māori flag in 2009). Designed by a collective of Māori women artists, Linda Munn, Hiraina Marsden and Jan Dobson-Smith in 1990, the meaning behind the Māori flag is: BLACK represents Te Korekore (the realm of potential being). It thus symbolises the long darkness from which the earth emerged, as well as signifying Rangi - the heavens, a male, formless, floating, passive force. WHITE represents Te Ao Marama (the realm of being and light). It symbolises the physical world, purity, harmony, enlightenment and
balance. RED represents Te Whei Ao (coming into being). It symbolises Papatuanuku, the earthmother, the sustainer of all living things, and thus both the land and active forces. The spiral-like KORU, symbolic of a curling fern frond, represents the unfolding of new life, hope for the future and the process of renewal. Waitangi Day is all about coming together to celebrate our nation, the journey of Māori and non Māori figuring out what it means to be here, and what it means to be in partnership. Ehara aku toa I te toa takitahi engari he toa takimano Our strength is not that of an individual but that of the collective.
February is usually a very hot month for the Wairarapa – we encourage you to be water smart, reduce your usage (turn off taps, only water your garden at night with a handheld hose and cut down your shower times). To view current water restrictions and to keep an eye on how we’re doing as a community visit our website - http://cdc.govt.nz/services/water/ January water usage – was getting a bit high!

Opinion
You can cope with all sorts of stresses Most things in life have a “honeymoon period” – that stage where everything seems to be going fine and dandy. It’s now the middle of February, and the honeymoon period of the new year has well and truly ended. For most of us, we’re back into the swing of things at work or school, and long summer days spent at the beach feel like a distant memory. I noticed the “honeymoon period” of the new year had come to an end last week when stress got the best of me multiple times over things that, in hindsight, weren’t really that stressful. So, here’s my advice for this funny time of year. Think of the situations that are causing you stress. Why they are causing you stress? Are the situations out of your control? If so, stressing isn’t going to help. Are the situations in

CUTIE OF THE WEEK Piece of mind
Emily Ireland your control? If so, stressing is not going to help. In fact, either way, you’re in a pretty good position to deal with any ‘stressful’ situation – as long as you accept that it is within your coping abilities to deal with it. And most of the time, it is. Stress is your body’s response to demanding changes in life – it’s a natural and inevitable thing. But, there is a positive and negative type of response we can choose to put out into the world. The negative type is called ‘distress’, and the positive type is called ‘eustress’. According to Mentalhelp.net, eustress
motivates, and focuses energy and happens when we perceive the stress as within our coping ability. In contrast, distress, causes anxiety or concern, and it is what happens when we perceive the stress as outside of our coping abilities. Basically, the big difference in our natural response to stressful situations is how we perceive it, and believe it or not, as humans, there is a lot of stress that lies within our coping abilities. If you can’t change the circumstance, then focus your energy on doing something else that will put you in a positive mindset. And if you can do something to help the ‘stressful’ situation, do it.

Hermes, also known by his nickname Oreo, is beautiful and he knows it. Thinking of leaving? You can’t, because Hermes just flopped down in front of you, rolled on his back and started purring. You just have to rub that belly – though watch out for the occasional nibble. Always the first of the foster kittens to come forward and greet you, Hermes has an adorable little squeak and is very talkative when he wants attention. Friendly with other cats from a distance, Hermes prefers to sit somewhere safe and watch others do their thing. Hermes is the son of two abandoned cats and spent the first nine weeks of his life in the wild. As such, he’s pretty shy initially and is easily scared by loud noises and strangers. He would be best suited to a quiet home or one with older children. Hermes is desexed, vaccinated and flea/worm treated. His adoption fee is $140.

Intergenerational playgroups, student concerts, school trips and visits from sons, daughters, grandchildren and great-grandchildren are part of daily life at Kandahar Home. Residents can often be found supporting school projects or knitting children’s clothes too. Kandahar Home manager Peter Newman says opportunities for elders to enjoy time in the company of children are vital to their wellbeing and a key part of the elder-centred Enliven philosophy. “The Enliven philosophy emphasises the importance of helping elders stay connected to children, plants and animals, as part of creating a home that’s full of life. “A lot of the residents, for instance, have grown up in multi-generational households and having children around is part of what makes Kandahar feel like home to them,” he explains. Intergenerational activities have gained much attention in recent years, with researchers documenting the many benefits they hold for elders, including a greater sense of purpose and broader social networks. But the time the elders spend with children doesn’t just benefit them, Kandahar Home recreation officer Di McCuish notes. “It’s a great opportunity for the children to learn how to socialise with people of different ages and life experience, and to learn from their elders what it was like to be a child growing up in a different era.
independence purpose trusted
Kandahar Home resident Connie Walls shares a smile with a young visitor from the Wairarapa Intergenerational Playgroup.
“Of course, the children also get showered with attention while they’re here. Just imagine having a dozen grandparents doting on you!” Enliven’s Kandahar Home and sistersite Kandahar Court in Masterton offer rest home, hospital and dementia care, short-term respite, health recovery and day programmes for Wairarapa elders.

INTERNATIONALLY SPEAKING
A world that works for all The Institute of International Affairs’ first meeting of 2019, also the branch’s AGM, will be held in Masterton on Wednesday, February 20 at 8pm. The AGM, with intending members welcome, will be at 7.30pm. Speaker Dr Gill Greer will discuss ‘A world that works for all – how and why we need to do development differently’. As she says, “In a world of disorder and climate change, interconnected action and collaborative change are critical”. Global goals, and national policies can drive change, she said, yet the UN states that no nation has gender equality. She emphasises that change must happen close to home. “Recent research, data and examples demonstrate that when all people – regardless of gender – have equal opportunity and shared vision, real change can happen.” Much of Dr Greer’s work has been with community

groups in New Zealand, and internationally, with a focus on ensuring gender equality, so that the most vulnerable individuals and communities are able to have an effective voice, and the opportunity to realise their identity and full potential. Dr Greer was chief executive of the National Council of Women of New Zealand in 2018, and of Volunteer Service Abroad New Zealand for five years previously. Prior to that she was Director General of the International Planned Parenthood Federation
(IPPF) in London, which has member associations in 170 countries, and chief executive of New Zealand Family Planning. Dr Greer has also been Assistant Vice Chancellor (Equity) at Victoria University of Wellington, a teacher and writer. Dr Greer was made a Commander of the British Empire (CBE) for services to international health and women’s rights in 2012, and had previously received an MNZM for her contribution to Family Planning and New Zealand literature. The meeting will be at 8pm on Wednesday, February 20 in the Seminar Room, Wairarapa Sports House, corner Chapel and Jackson Streets, Masterton. All are welcome. Visitors: $5 door charge. The branch’s AGM will be held at 7.30pm. Tea and coffee will be served from 7.00pm. • For more information contact secretary Aileen Weston, phone: (06) 372 5741, email: aileen.weston@orcon. net.nz

JIM BEAM WHITE LABEL BOURBON HANDLE
American as apple pie and a testament to quality, tradition and passion, Jim Beam is the best-selling brand of bourbon in the world. Seven generations of craftsmanship go into every bottle, along with corn, rye, barley malt, water, time and pride. Jim Beam is the flagship product of the Jim Beam distillery, founded in 1795, and family operated for seven generations. It was given the name “Jim Beam” in 1933 after Colonel James B. Beam, who rebuilt the business following Prohibition. When you take a sip, you’re savoring a bourbon that has been produced essentially the same way by the same family for more than 200 years. Isn’t it good to know some things never go out of style?

Moon catches the bull
PROHIBITED FIRE SEASON Notice is given under section 56(1)(b) of the Fire and Emergency New Zealand Act 2017 that a Prohibited Fire Season has been declared from 0800 FRIDAY 15TH FEBRUARY 2019 encompassing all urban, rural and costal areas of the Wairarapa region including DOC land until revoked or amended by Fire and Emergency New Zealand.

Tonight, and tomorrow night the half moon travels through the constellation of Taurus the bull. Tonight, is the moon’s first quarter, always confusing as it will certainly look like a half moon. But the phases are based on the full lunar cycle, from New Moon back to New Moon, and goes: New, first quarter (which is tonight), full (halfway through the cycle), last quarter and New again. Get out after 10pm, as it should be fully dark by then. The show is in the NW sky. If you take a look both tonight and same time tomorrow, you will see how much the moon moves in one day of its orbital travel, remembering that it does the round of the Earth in about 29 days. Tonight, the moon is west of the big V shape of Taurus (supposed to be his horns) and tomorrow it will have jumped to the eastern side. Higher in the sky at this time is the unmistakeable shape of the hunter – Orion. Compare it with the picture here. I have deliberately chosen to publish the northern hemisphere view. In the picture, note the vague line of reddish stars just below the left-hand star of Orion’s very obvious triple star belt. This is supposedly Orion’s sword. If you look at your real sky
Orion constellation – the northern hemisphere view. PHOTO/GETTY IMAGES
Sky Watch
Nick Sault version, you will note that this asterism is above the belt. How come? Well, the old constellations were named by northern hemisphere ancient astronomers. We down here at the bottom of the world (bottom, from that ancient perspective) see Orion virtually upside down. Note also in the picture the red star Betelgeuse is at the top of the picture, while in our sky it is at the bottom of Orion,
with the blue-white Rigel at the top. Orion is on his head for us. The phenomenon demonstrates that our planet is a globe, even though flatearthers still think otherwise. Of course, the idiots totally ignore the hundreds of views we get of Earth from the International Space Station. It reminds me of all those equally idiotic people who like to think the Apollo moon landings were faked,
A place where change is possible
Any fire permits issued during a Prohibited Fire Season are suspended from the date on this notice. You commit an offence if you knowingly or recklessly light, or allow another person to light, a fire in open air in an area that is in a Prohibited Fire Season unless under a special permit issued by Fire and Emergency New Zealand and in accordance with any conditions of the permit.

as if all the 400,000 people who worked to get men on the moon in the 1960s were involved in some conspiracy. Anyway, Apollo landings sites and debris have lately been spotted by lunar probes from Japan, China and India as well as NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. Of course, the foreign probes set the seal on the fact of the landings because if it was just NASA’s probe, the silly disbelievers would claim NASA was faking that also. • Up next: We’ll find the water snake.

Masterton monthly wrap February 2019
MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR Kia ora, It’s been a fantastic start to February with news that Masterton has been confirmed as one of five new refugee resettlement locations. This has been something people in our community have pushed for and it’s a positive milestone – thanks needs to be given to the local group that worked to see this come to fruition. Understandably there are concerns around whether we can house refugees in Masterton given the challenge some in our community already face when
seeking housing. I want to assure everyone that no refugees will be relocated to Masterton until housing is secured. Work is already underway to ensure we have enough capacity to support refugees as well as our community. I also want to briefly touch on the status of Henley Lake. We are well and truly into the dry summer period now – it means water restrictions and, unfortunately, less water in Henley Lake. Henley Lake relies on water from the Ruamahunga, when the river gets low it’s inevitable that our
water supply into Henley Lake dries up. We are continuing to work with the Greater Wellington Regional Council to find a long-term solution that’s suitable for our community and the lake’s ecological environment while also managing scarce water resources. Until next month, please play your part in conserving water – now’s the time to think of innovative ways to reduce consumption. Check out our website for tips and tricks. Nga mihi nui Lyn Patterson
Homebush Open Day Design underway on town centre plans
The date for the Homebush Open Day has been locked in! Ever wondered what happens to your wastewater after you flush the loo or take a shower? We’re giving you the chance to find out during a public open day at the Homebush Wastewater Treatment Plant on Saturday 23 March. Free guided bus tours will give people a behindthe-scenes look at the whole post-flush process and show how Council is using treated wastewater. We want to increase understanding of wastewater treatment and introduce benefits of wastewater irrigation to land.
Sadly our popular Summer Night Markets are over. Thank you to everyone who took the time to come down and check it out and tell us what you thought of our temporary initiatives in Park Street and the Town Square. The temporary projects were all about testing different ways to use space in our town centre – your feedback is incredibly valuable in helping us determine what permanent changes may be successful.
We’re leaning on the expertise of a national design company, our local businesses and our community to ensure we get any changes right. We’re at the very start of an iterative process designing concepts that will change the face of our town. We’ll be excited to share them with our community once the ideas are fully developed. In the meantime, head over to www.mastertontown.nz for more updates.
WHAT’S OUR WELCOME? What is it that makes Masterton New Zealand’s best little city? Is it the bush just on our doorstep? All the free family fun? Or maybe you think our Queen Elizabeth Park is the best in the country. Now is your chance to TELL US WHAT YOU THINK and help shape how we welcome people into Masterton. We’re looking at how we can spruce up the ‘gateways’ into Masterton in the future. Tell us what elements of our district you think we should celebrate and be in to WIN A $100 VOUCHER for groceries, petrol or a meal at your favourite Masterton restaurant.

Working on wellbeing This month Rangiura will represent Wairarapa, especially our Maori communities, at a national kapa haka competition in Wellington – Te Matatini Kapa Haka Festival, February 21-24. The cultural wellbeing, from a Maori perspective, for Wairarapa is going to be hugely energised. The performance bracket sums up the thoughts of our whanau, hapu (subtribes), marae and iwi (tribes) in Wairarapa and put it on stage as a performance for the rest of New Zealand. This cultural ritual, Matatini, a national Maori kapa haka competition, is an event firmly placed on the cultural map. It sits alongside cultural institutions like marae where cultural practices like tangi or funerals celebrate the lives of our loved ones. These maps are the markers of our cultural identity. “Maori have been practicing wellbeing for generations,” said Jacinda Ardern to the iwi chairs forum. Some of the wellbeings now lean themselves to Maori worldviews, like cultural interests. The connection of tangata whenua to environmental wellbeing
Mokupuna of Wairarapa
Ra Smith is a widely recognised relationship. One wellbeing that is not well recognised is economic wellbeing with respect to Maori. A traditional characteristic for Wairarapa Maori is their abilities as traders. The value of trade then was not in the exchange, but in the relationships that were built. Trading sandstone for pounamu or jade was about relational agreements that are a part of behavioural economics. Economic wellbeing has this social component, but social wellbeing has a wider profile. While people visit marae manuhiri or guests will sense values like manaaki or generous hosting and kindness. In Wairarapa, our ability to host through tourism to planting for our environment to industrial supply will need collaboration. Working together at all levels from two people learning together through
to the significance of regulation for everybody requires these values. Economic measures can work in isolation from social measures like homelessness, teenage suicide and a living wage. At the core of our economy; a place for healing and caring; and initiatives that has set Maori culture is the environment. Tangata whenua is a descriptor for the relationships between land and people. In Maori, mahi tuhono is the work of connecting, whether the land and people connection is a part of a genealogical relationship; the life element we share; the agreement to have quality work; the descriptor from the treaty is recognising Maori as land owners; and the shaping relationship of the whenua on people. Waitangi Day is our national day and, as New Zealanders, wellbeing is what we can work on as individuals, friends, communities, and as a nation.

Listening to a talkback radio channel, the theme of global warming came up. The host of the show shared how, ‘because China isn’t going to take notice of what a country like New Zealand does and the impact of New Zealand overall is so small on a global scale then there’s little point in us doing anything’. However, what the host didn’t seem to understand was how changes we make on a smaller scale; in our own country, town, or home can lead to positive benefits to ourselves and our communities immediately.

Look at the small picture if you want to change the world. Even if China takes no notice, your next-door neighbour might.
Small steps
Around this time of year there have been
numerous articles and podcasts about goal setting and resolutions. However, with the end of January now gone by, many resolutions set with very good intentions six weeks ago have been forgotten; research has found that by the Friday of the third week most have been given up on. However, one success strategy is repeatedly coming up in articles I read, podcasts I listen to, and then came up as a theme on the Calm meditation app daily meditation. This strategy is to take really small steps, in some cases they are so small it’s almost harder not to do them. An example around fitness could be to walk for five minutes three times a week ... this is by no means daunting. The idea is that these small steps will lead to a feeling of success and a sense of momentum. The five minutes can become seven minutes and before you know it you’ll be running a 5km race. There’s no rush to achieve your goals and dreams ... good things take time!

PINEHAVEN KEEPS GREYTOWN’S FRUIT GROWING TRADITION ALIVE
OUT & ABOUT IN
GREYTOWN
When you buy apples – and many other fruits – at Pinehaven’s shop just north of Greytown you can be certain they were home-grown. Pinehaven Orchards marked its 104th anniversary this year and is still owned and operated by the Meyrick family. It grows and sells many Kiwi classic varieties including Gala which was first discovered in one of its orchards, along with 11 other varieties of apples. Pinehaven Orchards grows six varieties of pears, stone fruit including nectarines, plums and peaches, berries, and some vegetables. There’s always a wide selection of other fresh fruit and vegetables in store, as well as some gourmet foods, and basic groceries like eggs and soft drinks. You can enjoy its real fruit ice cream – or some home grown fruit – in the picnic area beside the shop which is open 8.30am to 5.30pm every day.

SHALARI LINGERIE MAKES IT EASY FOR MEN ON VALENTINES DAY
MINI EXCAVATOR IDEAL FOR HARD TO GET TO PLACES
What woman wouldn’t love some beautiful lingerie for Valentines Day? The easiest option is for men to simply purchase a voucher from Shalari. The receiver will not only choose the lingerie or swimwear she wants, but also enjoy a personal fitting from owner Tina. Or for a complete surprise, just note your partner’s size, or if she has already purchased an item from Shalari before, Tina will have her details already. Even after Valentines Day has passed the vouchers are always a great idea for any special occasion.
Pope & Gray now has its own mini excavator which is ideal for drain laying, landscaping and other projects around your home or business. It is especially suitable for hard to reach places as it has a very small width and tracks that are adjustable to get into even tighter corners, for instance between buildings and boundary fences. The excavator (pictured) is quite light at 1.7 tonnes and so is easy on the ground underneath and easy to transport to jobs anywhere in the Wairarapa.

Gratitude for volunteers Volunteering Wairarapa
Jill Greathead When I was contacted by Carterton District Council for volunteers from the Mangatarere Restoration Society to help rehome mudfish from old drains to the Daleton Wetlands on Gallon Road, I had no idea what the volunteers would be doing. ‘Mudfish rehoming’ was necessary due to Carterton’s Waste Water Treatment Upgrade Project which requires three reservoirs to be built on Daleton Farm to store treated waste water. The reservoirs are being built on a swampy piece of ground which contains farm drains which had become the habitat for mudfish which are an endangered species. The volunteering role was to assist two fresh water ecologists over a period of three weeks. The tasks involved setting up the 52 nets and traps at 3pm each day. These nets and traps allow fish to swim into them, but they can’t swim out of them. At 6am the following day these nets and traps were
pulled out of the drains and the captured mudfish were measured to contribute data to a national database and then released to their new habitat at the Daleton Wetlands several hundred metres away. The hardest job was getting into the drain and cutting through a thick layer of vegetation with a sharp knife to clear way for the nets to be placed into the drains in the afternoons. On completion of rehoming the 981 mudfish, it was time to show gratitude to the council staff who dedicated their time, above and beyond their normal roles and to those from our community who volunteered during the project. Last week volunteers, staff, and project partners were invited to a BBQ breakfast at the Wetlands to show gratitude for their volunteer efforts and to celebrate the construction of the reservoirs getting underway. If ever mudfish need rehoming elsewhere in the Wairarapa, there are volunteers who now know

what is involved. The Mangatarere Restoration Society will now be tasked with planting more plants to shade the edges of the wetlands so that the mudfish will thrive in their new habitat. If you are keen to volunteer in conservation projects contact me on 0274 884 376 or admin@ waivc.org.nz so we can put you on our volunteer database to alert you to planting and maintenance days around the Wairarapa.

MEET OUR TRUST HOUSE
In everything we do, Trust House aims to enhance the well-being of people in our region by: • Operating local businesses that benefit from community ownership • Distributing profits to community events and organisations through sponsorship and donations • Being a community housing provider that puts people first
Every year we deliver over $4 million back to the communities in which we trade.
None of this would be possible without Trust House’s managers who find one of the best aspects of their jobs is knowing that all the surplus profits from the businesses they manage goes back into the community. JILL HARRISON
RAEWYN RICHARDSON

JEFF KAY
HAYLEY MILLER
The Flax Bar & Function Centre
The Post Office Hotel, Pahiatua
Jill joined Copthorne Solway just short of two years ago which sees her managing the day-to-day operations of our flagship hotel, “making sure that our guests have the best experience staying with us.” No two days are the same, she says, with new guests arriving and departing every day.” Jill enjoys the fact that Trust House is an “active company within the community making a positive difference. And most of all, they care about the people that work for them.” Outside of work Jill spends time with her family, enjoys the beach and any water activities, along with “old cars, drags and any kind of car racing.”
Raewyn has been managing Flaxmere for the past four and a half years, a local bar with TAB and 18 gaming machines, as well as a function room that is popular with local sports teams. Her responsibilities include overseeing ten staff “and making sure we run to the letter of the law and guidelines set by Trust House.” Raewyn is always up for a challenge. “I enjoy seeing the locals and meeting new people every day. I like the fact that Trust House is community focused and it is all about the comminity.” Outside of work Raewyn likes to taste the local wines “and what a great place to do it. We have some of the best wineries and the weather in Hawkes Bay is great.”
Jeff is a man who wears many hats in his role as manager of the Post Office Hotel which includes a sports bar, TAB, Apache Jack’s restaurant, motel and backpackers accommodation. Since taking up the role nine months ago, Jeff has enjoyed getting to know the locals. “They have a great sense of humour. I also like giving back to Pahiatua. Working for the Trust is working for the community you live in - being able to help out local teams or charities, clubs and schools is a great feeling.” Jeff has always loved sport, especially cricket and rugby. “I have a great group of friends that keep me grounded and are always funny.”
Multi-tasking skills are definitely an asset for Hayley who manages both the Pukemanu, E10 Restaurant and the Bottle O Martinborough. “We do a lot events like country music festivals, Cruise Martinborough, wedding functions and more.” Hayley has been with the Pukemanu for the past four years and with Trust House for the past seven years. “I’ve got a great team of staff behind me at the Pukemanu, and our locals are a big part, who make everyone feel welcome. It’s a real family vibe.” “Trust House has supported and encouraged me along the way, given myself and my team opportunities to grow within the business.” Outside of work, Hayley rates her family as “my greatest achievement. I also enjoy traveling and making new and happy memories.”

What makes Legends so unique, says Leanne who has managed it for the past two and a half years, “is the cultural diversity of the community which is why I like my job so much. “It’s an absolute privilege to organise fundraising events for the local community.” Trust House provides a strong support network for Leanne and her staff, “which has enabled my outlet to grow and be competitive in a very tough market. Also, everyone at Trust House has been a huge part of my own personal development. “
Kerry has worked for Trust House for 25 years, 15 years of which she has been the manager of Kuripuni Sports Bar & TAB and Apache Jack’s family Restaurant. Recently she has brought her management experience to Jackson Street Bar. Kerry enjoys working for a company that gives back to the community. She feels Trust House has been able to provide many opportunities over the years to extend her career. Kerry values the time she spends with her family and enjoys a good book particularly as she has her hands full managing two of our busy bars.
The Farriers Bar & Eatery Jayne has been managing the day-to-day running of The Farriers for the past three years, including organising functions and business meetings, and working with Trust House Executive Group Chef Paul Hargood on the restaurant’s menu. One of the things Jayne loves about working for Trust House is the opportunities they provide, along with the support they give. Outside of work, Jayne enjoys cooking, walking, reading and entertaining.

Aspiring imagery Landscapes and the female nude are some of art’s most enduring subjects. The female nude is also one of life’s most beautiful sights, according to Martinborough artist Brian Connor, evoking a “deep emotional response”. “It moves my spirit and inspires a sense of wonder.” Connor is a retired atmospheric scientist, formerly with NASA in the US, then NIWA in New Zealand. His art interests are in photography and his work has been exhibited
locally and in the US, published internationally, and has received awards and nominations internationally. His specialties include fine art nude and local landscapes, as will be seen in his upcoming exhibition at Heart of Arts in Carterton, opening February 15.

The models range from “casual saws” which are ideal for homeowners for lighter cutting tasks and hobby work to “professional saws” - tough, durable and reliable work-mates.
Rob Wilkins at the shop just north of Greytown, has a lifetime of knowledge in the ÿ rewood and chainsaw industry. He has been hands-on with chainsaws his whole life and achieved his standard training with Husqvarna University. So, needless to say, if you need some help in choosing the right model for you, Rob is fully qualiÿ ed to o° er it. Husqvarna chainsaws are known for their longevity and reliability. Because it manufactures parts for all its models, they can be serviced and repaired for
Prices start from just $349 for an electric chainsaw (battery costs extra) and $399 for a petrol model.
Shoes, fairs, and the Gold Shears in town Summer has really hit us with a bang. We are now settled into our new library which has fully functioning air conditioning, so we are humming. As usual it really heats up just as the children go back to school. Mine went back earlier than most and I am glad to get back into a proper routine again. It is hard if the school doesn’t have a pool though for cooling off and learning to swim. We really need our kids to learn to swim as we lose too many each year to drowning. It doesn’t make any sense when we are such a boat and water-based culture. A big thank you to both Carterton and South Wairarapa District Councils for continuing to fund free access to their pools in Featherston, Greytown, Martinborough, and Carterton. What a bonus to be able to spend days at the pool. Unfortunately, there is not a pool in the library because I would be in it if we had one. For outdoor events though, this weather is great – much better than

Already, we are looking forward to the next Martinborough Fair. This massive event is on the first Saturday of February and March each year and has been running since 1977. There are more than 400 stall holders and the event attracts thousands of visitors to our lovely region. For the first time ever, Martinborough Library will be open all day. As we are now in the Waihinga Centre which also hosts the i-site and Knucklebone cafe it seems sensible to stay open so everyone who is visiting can have a proper look around. Of course, my shoe display is in pride of place above the books and now contains even madder
shoes than before. I have also got a little booster with the addition of some Mayer men’s shoes. I persuaded my hubby to buy an unusually bright pair last time we were in Wellington – perhaps one day he will pluck up the courage to wear them. He could wear them to the Jazz at Cobblestones event on February 16. Provided the weather stays with us it will be a lovely, mellow evening out on the lawn just chilling. If that isn’t for you, then how about the Ngawi Big 3 fishing competition February 15-17, or you could just wait until the end of the month for the Golden Shears. However, if you are going over the hill to the big smoke during March, please be aware that there are some major road works going on and the hill will be closed from 9pm to 5am from March 3-8 and March 24-29.

The end of Taratahi Pam Graham
Rural
Taratahi Institute of Agriculture is moving to full liquidation in the hands of accounting firm Grant Thornton who now have power to sell assets and make staff redundant. An interim liquidation was made in December at the request of the board of trustees after the Crown declined further funding, and this was made final at the High Court in Wellington last week. Education Minister Chris Hipkins last week finalised a deal for Southern Institute of Technology (SIT) to take over the Telford campus near Balclutha, securing 20 fulltime equivalent jobs. But there is no reprieve for the other campuses, including Wairarapa. Taratahi had only taken on Telford from Lincoln University a year prior, for $1, though the university provided $2m in funding for the first year. The Wairarapa headquartered farming education provider with 10 campuses and 250 staff will not make it to its centenary, which was this year. The farms are a going concern and have continued to operate during the interim liquidation. Liquidator David Ruscoe

declined to say if the value of the assets, estimated at $42m at September 30 in a PricewaterhouseCoopers [PwC] report, or indicate if there will be a shortfall for creditors. He must provide a first public report after 20 working days. He said staff being made redundant would get paid for the period they were suspended, and he could not comment on the size of redundancy payouts. Agriculture Minister Damien O’Connor said it was clear the liquidation of Taratahi was symptomatic of a fragmented system with a plethora of providers that were providing training not always matched with the skills needed for the future
of the agrisector. He said the Government has taken steps to secure the Taratahi home farm. Ruscoe would say only “we are in discussions with the government on how to best work through the process”. The home farm can only be sold to be used for an educational purpose and the sale has to be approved by O’Connor. Landcorp, the government owned farmer, has been suggested as a potential buyer of the farm but it is a state-owned enterprise so makes decisions within that framework. Taratahi owned two farms and leased the rest. Assets include a shareholding in Fonterra and 50,000 livestock units.

Geocaching: A great find the particular cache had been found with comments on how hard or easy it was to find. After finding about a dozen caches, I thought perhaps I should hide one of my own. I assembled a small clip top plastic box and a small notebook together with a short pencil that would fit in the box and drove to the old main road below Pukeora Hill where I knew there were caves in the limestone. After a bit of poking under bushes I found a small cave not far from a small telecom sign which I thought I could use as a clue perhaps like “Back to the sign-45° right”. The small hole in the limestone was not large enough for me to crawl into but I thought I might be able to push my little offering in as far as my shoulder would allow. As I was withdrawing my left arm I heard a kind of metallic ‘clink’. It didn’t sound like a rock and I realised that it
This activity is rather like hide and seek for grownups. It usually involves the hiding of a small water tight container containing a small log book, sometimes a small low-cost gift. The idea is to hide it somewhere and cryptic clues are found on the website as to where exactly. I suppose one could consider it a modern game, needing the internet and a GPS reader but it also is found fascinating by young children. I had taken my grandson and granddaughter on several trips around Central Hawkes Bay, and their excitement of the chase really surprised me. Pukeora Hill lookout, Hatuma Cairn, Otane soap factory, and the ship’s anchor in the Settlers Museum were amongst the places where we had succeeded in finding the cache, and each time Jack and Lily were so excited and would leave a note in the little log book noting the date it was found and their names before returning it to the exact place it was found ready for the next geocacher. When we returned home, we would get on the computer and go to the Geocaching website, where we would enter the fact that

Out in the light, I could see that inside the glass was a rolled-up piece of paper with some writing on it. My sense of excitement rose as I found I could read what was written without difficulty. “Greetings to the future” and it was signed, “Leonard Whittington 1895”. Hardly able to contain myself I forgot about geocaching and rushed back to the Settlers Museum in Waipawa with my find. After a little research I found that Leonard Whittington had been the manager of the Union Brewery that had once been situated in Ruataniwha St Waipawa. The interest in my find was such that it made the local newspaper and caused a small gathering of descendants of Leonard Whittington. The bottle now resides at the museum, still unopened.

around. My hand grasped something smooth and hard and as I pulled it out I realised that it was a bottle covered in limestone dust. The bottle’s neck and stopper were thickly coated in black wax but as I wiped the dust from the surface I could see that it was a clear

Badly-made fake $100 and $50 bank notes are doing the rounds in Wairarapa and police are warning business owners to be vigilant. There are obvious giveaways that the “poorly produced” counterfeit currency was not real – the notes are paper and some feature $50 on one side and $100 on the other, while the clear window has been made with sellotape and shows a $20 sign. Despite this, there have been about half a dozen incidents in which the bank notes have been accepted in Masterton and Featherston. Security footage captured at the Featherston Memorial RSA and Messines Restaurant last Wednesday afternoon shows a man with a distinct tattoo on his head exchanging two fake $50 notes for five real $20s. Venue manager Karanjot Singh said he was flat-out at work, helping both the kitchen and the restaurant, when the man came in and waited to be served at the bar. “He saw I was busy and took advantage,” Singh said. The man asked to swap his bank notes for smaller denominations to play pokies. Singh took the cash and handed over five bank notes to the man, the footage shows. “Then a girl comes in after that. I recognised her. “At that time I wasn’t busy, and the note didn’t seem okay – it was a forged note and I

confronted her. “She says she got it from an ATM.” Singh, who has been in Featherston for two years, said he did not recognise the man, but the girl was “a regular” to the establishment. He said it didn’t take much to recognise the currency was fraudulent. “What’s crazy was on the front it was a $100 note, and on the back was $50.” Singh said he felt “devastated” about the loss, and it was his first encounter with counterfeit money. Last Friday, Featherston’s Kia Ora Dairy owner Bhairav Patel called police when he noticed a dodgy looking $50 note in the takings he was counting.

money has been produced … it’s not even plastic, it’s paper,” he said. “It’s turning up at dairies and some of the bigger retail outlets with mixed success. Police were investigating, Osland said. “All cash-handling businesses should double check all money that’s been handed over, especially high denominations, and if you do find that you have had some fake money passed over please secure the note, restrict the handling of it as best as possible, and contact police.”
Patel said his wife would have been manning the dairy at the time the counterfeit note was used. “She was feeling not good as she didn’t notice it was a fake note, but I don’t blame her because it must’ve been at a busy time when she got it.” Sergeant Ian Osland said there had been about six or seven reported incidents in the last two weeks in which counterfeit notes were used in Featherston and Masterton. “Poorly made counterfeit

Tui town turns on rugby show RUGBY
In Mangatainoka, it takes a community to grow a rugby field, and it paid off handsomely on Saturday. Nick Rogers who originally came up with the idea of bringing the Hurricanes to town said Saturday’s match against the Blues had been superb with 5200 people attending. “It felt like 30-degree weather, everyone behaved themselves, our school stallholders sold out of food, the players enjoyed themselves, the police enjoyed themselves and everyone loved it.
“Our numbers were on the money, we’d aimed for 5000 and we got our goal which is always nice [from a financial perspective].” Rogers said the field had received compliments from the Hurricanes operations manager Tony Ward. “It was great to hear that because people always say, oh it’s just a paddock but it’s amazing what water and some urea can do. “We’ll probably have a whole bunch of teams wanting to play on it now, but it was pretty hard work getting it to that stage.”
Rogers said the event had been well supported by the community both during the match and in preparation for it. “We had some people give so much of their time for this and it just goes to show what a community can do when they get themselves going.” Blues 38 [Melani Nanai 2, Leni Apisai, Hoskins Sotutu, Ma’a Nonu and Harry Plummer tries; Otere Black 3 cons, Stephen Perofeta con] beat Hurricanes 31 [James Blackwell, Ben Lam, Asafo Aumua, Ben May and Wes Goosen tries; Fletcher Smith 2 cons, Jackson Garden-Bachop con] Halftime: 14-14
