Coddington’s new chapter Hayley Gastmeier From the hustle and bustle of life as a politician and journalist to a world of vineyards and books. Deborah Coddington is in her element, surrounded by printed works of all colours and sizes about topics ranging from Patti Smith and house plants, to horses and the ‘poverty streets’ of old London. Deborah and I meet in her bookstore in Martinborough on a Saturday morning just before opening time. She puts a fresh welcome message in chalk on the blackboard in

the alleyway and switches on the lights. It’s only a matter of moments before the ﬁrst person walks through the door. Deborah politely puts our conversation on hold to ask the potential shopper whether they would like any help. The former Act MP and award-winning feature writer opened The Martinborough Bookshop in May this year. She tells me that six months later she is now getting the hang

of running the store and business is going well. The shop has been set up in the space vacated by Martinborough Library that was the former Campbell’s Garage, of which a vintage photograph hangs on the wall. Deborah has kept the building interior true to its history with “an industrial feel”. Books are displayed on industrial-style shelving made by a local engineer and the old

car repair pit remains, now covered in a plank. She made a cake and exchanged it with Martinborough Transport for some 44-gallon drums, which are propping up large kauri doors that are now a bench for hundreds of books. As more book orders come into the store for display, more furniture at Deborah’s house on Te Muna Rd disappears. Large rugs on indeﬁnite loan from a customer Continued on page 6

Police

Arrested by mistake

‘Drunk as a skunk’

Makoura College student Peter Hing Jr had just finished playing basketball at lunchtime when he was surrounded by half a dozen police offers and arrested twice for a crime he did not commit. On October 25, Peter was grabbed by his shirt, pushed against a school fence, and handcuffed when police officers mistook him for an 18-year-old robbery suspect who had fled from police earlier in the day.

Former Wairarapa police officer John Woodward, who is risking it all to shed light on a toxic culture of bullying in the police force, told the Times-Age that police “stubbornness” resulted in a serial drink-driver getting off the hook. The driver crashed into a power pole on Western Lake Rd in 2017. Woodward, the charging officer who soon after left the force, wasn’t asked to give evidence in court and as a result the drink-driving charge was dropped.

Politics

Jacinda pays us a visit

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern’s visit to Wairarapa included naming a chick at Pukaha Mt Bruce Wildlife Centre. She also opened the new building at Premier Beehive in Carterton. Full story P10.

Education

Court

UCOL makes Taratahi proposal

Former soldier sentenced

UCOL has put in a proposal to run primary sector training at Taratahi’s Wairarapa campus. However, it is unclear how both entities will be affected by the government’s announcement that a national body will take over New Zealand’s 16 polytechnics in a transition process beginning in 2020.

Inside

Masterton District Court heard how poor mental health drove Daniel Thomas Brown, 37, a former New Zealand soldier, to steal thousands of dollars’ worth of personal items from the Linton military barracks. He also stole from co-workers at the Carterton Paua Factory where he worked after being dishonourably discharged from the military in 2012. He was sentenced on 30 charges to home detention and community work.

57 schoolbags for Samoa Eli Hill A group of Makoura College students are headed to Samoa to help out a refuge for children and women exposed to domestic violence. The group of 21 Makoura College students, ﬁve adults and a child will be in Samoa from December 6 to 15 and will spend at least three days helping out the Campus of Hope refuge. And they won’t be going empty handed – the students are taking along 57 schoolbags ﬁlled with stationary, thanks to the generosity of the Wairarapa community and a post on the Doing a good Deed page on Facebook. Wairarapa Care Network manager and Doing a good

Deed page administrator Elaine Leggott was contacted by a parent to see if she could put up a post asking for a few stationary items. By her own admission she couldn’t stop at “just a few”. “My dream was ﬁve and then it went pretty fast, we

aimed for 30 and now we have 57. “The community did a great job contributing them. Someone would donate a bag, then someone else [would donate] the stationary – it was a real community eﬀort.” “Kay Halligan did a great

job collecting in Carterton and Maree Hutchby, as well, who stored them at her place.” The Samoan Church, the community, and Wairarapa Care Network clients all pitched in for the backpacks. Also raised was $203 to go towards purchasing concrete for the refuge. The school had been “pretty blown away” by the donations from the community, Makoura College deputy principal Kellas Bennett said. “How will we get over there with these packs, in our carry-on luggage? “We’ll ﬁgure that out when we get there,” he joked when thanking the Wairarapa Care Network. “It’s huge, we didn’t want to do another sports

or cultural exchange. We wanted to do some good. “So we’re really looking forward to this opportunity to work with these young people over there. “We will be with them for a couple of days doing work for them – painting, concreting, whatever needs to be done.” Bennett is hoping that the experience will make his students better people. “People say how do we break the cycle of domestic violence. “I ﬁrmly believe we can talk about it all we like, show images all we like, but these [students] are going to be exposed to these kids who have been through this trauma, and hopefully that’ll make them better people, better adults.”

New babies pushing VIP message Hayley Gastmeier Babies born in Wairarapa Hospital will for the foreseeable future be leaving the maternity ward wearing an important message. Wairarapa District Health Board’s Violence Intervention Programme (VIP) is behind the new initiative, which will see all new-borns receiving a bodysuit that has the message, either in English or in te reo Maori, “I deserve to be happy, healthy, and safe” on the back. On the front, it says, “fragile, handle with care”. VIP has launched the project during the month of November to coincide with White Ribbon Day, which promotes the importance of men having respectful relationships with women and to live by respectful values. The goal is to prevent violence. VIP has received additional funding to allow the project to continue

throughout 2020. The initiative also includes ﬁve community champions saying what happy, healthy and safe means to them, with their comments to be displayed on screens throughout Wairarapa Hospital. The champions are Masterton Mayor Lyn

Patterson, youth worker Alan Maxwell, Rangitane O Wairarapa cultural advisor Mike Kawana, kuia Aunty Mihi, and lawyer Gretchen Freeman. At the project launch last week, VIP clinical coordinator Narina Sewell said the initiative promoted “looking after

our children”. She said it would not have been possible without ﬁnancial support from the Maternity Quality and Safety Programme, Rangitane Tu Mai Ra Trust, Lee Malneek Contractors, and Wairarapa Community Health Trust.

VIP supports health sector family violence programmes throughout New Zealand. “If we can reduce the rate of family violence we can drastically reduce the cost of health,” Narina said. One of the mum’s who received a bodysuit for her newborn baby, Cherry, said the onesies were a great idea, adding that the message would get out even when on the washing line. In her message, Aunty Mihi said a stable whanau needed to experience love, even when relationships break down. “A happy home is a secure environment for the bringing up of infants (mokopuna) and teenagers (rangatahi) to ensure a safe and happy future.” Alan Maxwell said, “Be connected to people who care, be mindful of what you watch, read and listen to. “They all feed your wairua (soul) just as food feeds the body. “Eat healthy, be active, connect with nature.”

Student’s efforts recognised Emma Brown Eighteen-year-old Carys Gibbs got a surprise when she read an email saying she was a recipient of The Kiwibank Local Hero Medal. Gibbs is known for her environment and climate change advocacy and has run multiple events to improve awareness and action around the issue. She was awarded the medal for the Manawatu district instead of Wairarapa because she lives in Eketahuna. Gibbs said she did not know who nominated her for the medal or why. “It’s a bit of a mystery to me,” she said. “I would guess it would either be for [standing for] council or [being involved with] the school strike.” She was unsure about the email when she ﬁrst read it but was really happy to have been nominated by the mystery person. She said climate change and advocacy for the environment had been a big focus for her this year, whether that was through the school strikes or through running for council. Finding out about the award added to a great week as she had also learned she would be receiving an Emerging Leader’s scholarship for Canterbury University where she hopes to study a Bachelor of Science in environmental science and ecology.

A place where artists can create Ian Grant Unique in New Zealand, NZ Pacific Studio (NZPS), Wairarapa’s artists’ residency, has adopted a new way of working since Normandell, the historic Mt Bruce house that was its home for 17 years, closed its doors in 2018. Since it was founded by Dr Kay Flavell in 2001 in the restored Kaiparoro House near Pukaha Mt Bruce Wildlife Centre, NZPS has provided inspiration, space and time to over 400 resident artists from around New Zealand and the world – painters, writers, photographers, musicians and other creative practitioners – to work on a project of their choice. The residency also fosters involvement with the Wairarapa and Tararua communities. Originally from Dunedin, and recently retired as the Humanities Professor at Berkeley, University of California, Flavell believed the Pacific region’s shared ecologies, rich indigenous cultures, and diverse multicultural communities provided many areas for comparative study and offered creative solutions to various environmental and cultural issues, both local and global. Following her return to America and the sale of Normandell, NZPS’s board reviewed its operating model and it was decided to experiment with hosting artists in Masterton and other parts of Wairarapa. This has been a signal success with a number of ‘hosts’ with strong creative connections in town and country locations through the valley. Recently, Julie and Philip Donvin-Irons, of Mount Bruce Lodge, near Pukaha, have hosted several NZPS artists – Jan

American fabric artists Anita Stewart and Lauren Sinner.

Wootton who was hosted by Wai-Art member Sharon Cuff on Te Whiti Road. All have relished their Wairarapa experiences. Lauren Sinner, from Portland in Oregon, said being in such a peaceful place made for some very calm art. “Sometimes when I’m in my home studio, surrounded by all my life responsibilities, I find it hard to make such calm, balanced work. “I’m also heavily influenced by nature and botanical prints, so I was photographing and sketching a lot of local,

house glowed with ‘You are welcome. We are glad you are here’. “If I could rate this place on a scale of one to 10, I’d give it a 10-plus. “It’s always good to leave a place you visit wishing you had more time.” Sue Wootton, the latest Katherine Mansfield Fellow, and soon to be off to Menton, France, said a residency provides – literally and figuratively – a fresh outlook. “It lets you fence off the demands of your daily life so that you can devote time and attention to a creative project.

“It shifts you out of your ordinary habits and refreshes your vision. All of that really feeds the work. “Even a short residency is very valuable – the benefits ripple on long after you get home.” New Zealand novelist, playwright and poet Jackie Davis said for her a residency provides a space to write without the distractions of home. “Most writers are great procrastinators, and I think if I tried to spend three weeks writing at home, I’d have the cleanest windows and a spotless oven, and yet the manuscript might not have progressed at all. “It also provides validation to me, that what I’m working on has value. “This writer suffers from Imposter Syndrome, as do a number of published authors, and to know that someone else, and especially a panel of trustees, thinks this piece of writing is worth pursuing, is enormously valuable.” Host Julie Donvin-Irons was a fabric dyer and batik artist in Kapiti in the 1980s and early 90s before she went to the UK and became the director of the South West of The Princes’ Trust, working with major corporates on their corporate social responsibility. Back in New Zealand since 2006 she has been CEO of Arts Access Aotearoa, founded the Arts Access Awards and, in 2009, started Business and Charities (BACS), an organisation of major NZ and global corporates and charities dedicated to social responsibility. “By 2017, Philip and I were ready to spend more time on our latest project, the Mount Bruce Lodge and Bruce Batique Gallery,” she said. “Being an NZPS host has provided a real opportunity to understand someone else’s work and learn from it, whether it is music, painting, or sculpture.”

Wiley’s hanging up his boots Marcus Anselm If the secret of being a great livestock agent is relationships, Mike Wiley is peerless in his field, said his clients and colleagues. Wiley, 69, of Masterton, finished up with PGG Wrightson this month after 52 years in the business. “I have enjoyed every moment of being a stock agent in my 47 years on the road servicing my clients, some of them from day one, two generations. “Now the third generation are about to take over and I think it is time to hang up my boots.” In that time, Wiley has seen both Wairarapa and his industry change. He said technology had changed the business. “Technology is taking over, with online selling

of livestock, texting and emailing. “Most farmers have scales now weighing their lambs and cattle before selling. “Twenty-five years ago, we hand-drafted lambs going to the works. If the farmer wanted to average a certain price, we had to draft that to that store or fat. “You become pretty good at estimating their weight. “Now with scales, it’s done for you.” Wiley joined the National Mortgage Stock and Station Co. from school in 1967. He went on the road in 1972, moving from Martinborough to Masterton in 1977. He joined Neil Cobb as an independent agent in 1986. The Wairarapa Livestock

company started up 12 years later, a team of four independent agents. PGG Wrightson bought out Wairarapa Livestock in 2008. Blairlogie farmer Bill Morrison has known Wiley for over 40 years. Morrison said Wiley’s “integrity and knowledge of the Wairarapa” and being “a people’s person” was the secret of his success. “He knows everyone, he follows up on the stock that I sell to make sure the clients are happy. “He’s a people’s person really. It’s that personal contact from buyers and sellers really which is the most important thing.” Dermot Fitzgerald was Wiley’s predecessor as livestock manager at PGG Wrightson, Masterton. Fitzgerald said Wiley is

“the sort of fella every agent or every livestock agent should aspire to be”. “I haven’t heard anyone say a bad word about Mike. He gave outstanding service to his clients. “He became a personal friend to me, to many, and his clients as well. That’s always a good judgement of a guy.” A Gladstone boy, Wiley’s father was a gardener. The Lansdowne home he shares with Ruth, his wife, shows these skills were handed down. But he now has more time to keep his garden blooming and to visit Ngawi for a catch of blue cod. Wiley said he had been lucky in having a wife supporting him in his job and really bringing up their children on her own.

‘Children’s books are fantastic – so beautifully put together’ Continued from page 1 bring comfort and warmth to the shop, which is purposefully kept spacious, so book browsers don’t feel “crowded” and can “browse in peace”. Cookbooks are popular and so is “good” fiction, which is “not too light and nothing too pretentious”. “My motto is ‘books you’ll want to keep’.” But Deborah’s current

genre of choice is books for littlies. “Children’s books are fantastic – they are so beautifully put together.” As we flick through Dear Princess Meghan and Dear Donald Trump (by Sophie Siers), she says it’s not easy to write a children’s book which nearly always feature exquisite illustrations. The store is “dog friendly” and Deborah

smiles as she recalls a blind man and his golden Labrador siting together for some time on one of rugs. “It was really sweet.” Opening a bookshop hadn’t been on the cards for long before Deborah took the plunge. She discussed her idea with Masterton’s David Hedley, who gave her “valuable” advice, and her brother gave her a lesson

on stock management. The toughest part of the job was learning the software needed for making sales and stock ordering and getting to grips with using Eftpos. The best part of the job, she says, is recommending books. It’s clear Deborah loves books as she picks up her favourites to show me as we float around the bookshop. She has all the book

covers facing the browser and will be “quite honest with her good customers” when it comes to giving them her two cents about them. Deborah, 66, said living on a vineyard in the country suited her as it meant fewer social functions and more animals. She compiled The 1996 Paedophile and Sex Offender Index and

has written, edited, and published numerous other books. So, becoming a bookshop owner was a “natural” next step. • The Martinborough Bookshop is open seven days a week, 10am4pm. The old garage site also houses the Martinborough Wine Merchants and The Village Cafe.

Personalised companion driving service has new caring hands in Wairarapa Husband and wife team, Christian and Margie Carter are embarking on a new career path having just purchased the Driving Miss Daisy Wairarapa franchise. “It’s a special line of care that really appeals to me,” says Christian who readily admits he’s escaped the high end corporate world to do more grass roots work helping people. The fleet of blue vehicles emblazoned with the cheerful white daisy will continue to be seen on the region’s roads carrying out the personalised companion driving service offered by former owners Dayle and Brenda Lakeman for the past eight years. Several of the drivers are also staying on ensuring familiar continuity for regular customers. The point of difference with Driving Miss Daisy is that drivers will physically accompany passengers, if required, to events such as doctor’s appointments; ensuring children are safely in school, sport or music lessons, getting to the airport, or even into supermarkets to assist those in need. Christian and Margie moved permanently to their Wairarapa property at Parkvale, east of Carterton two years ago. They were living in Porirua, commuting into Wellington and travelling a lot with their work. “Weekends in Wairarapa were just so good and the thought of having to go into the city began filling me with dread. We knew we needed a change in lifestyle.

I suppose it was our mid-life crisis,” says Christian. He was heading project management with Transpower and the chance to grab redundancy came at the opportune time. He and Margie happily moved onto the land with their two children, ironically Daisy (13) and Harry (11), and the family has not looked back. Margie works as a fundraiser for the NZ Neurological Foundation. Her work covers the lower half of the North Island and although she still travels, she is able to work from home. Christian took time to reflect on what he’d like to do for work. Driving Miss Daisy ticked all the boxes. Both Margie and Christian have parents who have needed transport assistance. “Conditions like Multiple Sclerosis and Alzheimers, or being wheelchair bound, can hinder people’s independence. A driving service such as Miss Daisy opens up their world again.” Driving Miss Daisy drivers have a p Endorsement, are First Aid qualified; police checked; and some are studying for NZQA qualifications in caring for vulnerable people. “All are empathetic people who have great listening and people skills. So important in a service like ours.”

PM opens $13m expansion And declares love of Carterton bacon

Carterton

Karen Coltman Before cutting the ribbon into the $13 million Premier Beehive factory expansion in Carterton last Thurday, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern declared she loved bacon. “I absolutely love bacon and am sure many, many New Zealanders are pleased this company chose to expand here when it did have other choices. Thank you,” Ardern said. “You are Premier Beehive bacon, so the irony is not lost on me that I live in Premier House, work in a beehive and love bacon.” Ardern immediately acknowledged the tough road the company journeyed to get the factory built after the construction company contracted went into liquidation. “You made it work through this speedbump and I really thank you for that,” she said. “In terms of employment, for locals to raise their families here and have a good job is key to wellbeing in the regions.” When construction came to a halt, the company

amenities is crucial.” The factory upgrade extends the production facilities with dedicated rooms for specific product production capabilities, a dedicated room for cleaning equipment and improved staff amenities. All visitors to the site, including local MPs Alastair Scott and Kieran McAnulty, and Masterton Mayor Lyn Patterson, had to don gumboots, hair nets, and white coats, then go through a rigorous and precise cleaning process to get into the factory. McAnulty said he was “really stoked” the company had expanded in Carterton. “It shows the region’s ability to provide good staff for the company and demonstrates the faith the company has in the local community,” he said. Of the 360 staff, most are on regular hours and are permanent. More come in depending

on demand. Many older women are employed at the factory. Operations manager Laurence Kent said the women brought life experience. “These women have generally raised their families and are good employees,” Kent said. “They are reliable, our whole team is, and the older ones bring common sense. We want to have permanent employees and hold onto their experience. “We can offer regular and stable work, and the better we are, the more work there is.” The staff on the floor were clearly pleased to have the prime minister at their place of work. “It’s an exciting day for us and for our employees to have the prime minister opening the expansion and it is reflective of the work we do as a leader in the industry,” McKay said.

Carterton mayor John Booth, and his successor Greg Lang for their support to keep the expansion project moving. “They let the project flow and we are grateful for this,” McKay said. Premier Beehive production volumes over the past 10 years have doubled, ultimately outgrowing its production platform. It produces more than 13,000 tonnes of product per annum, employs more than 360 staff nationally and is the largest employer in Wairarapa. “Our team members do a wonderful job and this investment is for both their and the company’s wellbeing and future,” McKay said. “As an important local employer within the region, strengthening the partnership we have with our employees through improved infrastructure and staff

CARTERTON DISTRICT

COUNCIL SNIPPETS MEET YOUR COUNCIL

Last month, we celebrated the special occasion of having our newly elected council members sworn in. Representatives from our local marae, Hurunui-o-Rangi, welcomed them into the Events Centre with a powhiri. This was attended by staff, friends and family.

HE PITOPITO KŌRERO

After the declarations and swearing in, former Mayor John Booth placed Absent: Councillor the mayoral chains on newly elected Russell Keys Mayor Greg Lang. This was followed by the inaugural council meeting where Rebecca Vergunst was elected as Deputy Mayor. Our council would like to thank all the nominated candidates who were willing to serve their community. We would also like to thank everyone who had their say in Carterton’s future by voting. Our final voter turnout was 57.48% - the highest Carterton has seen since 2007 and placing us in the top 10 in the country.

Carterton’s Climate Change Champion – Dan Broughton Last month, our council staff got involved with Global Climate Change Week and Recycling Week. To help our community, our Climate Change Advisor shared simple tips to live more sustainably and even handed out some prizes to Carterton resident Dan Broughton, who was crowned

On the ground at Holloway Street This month, New Zealanders recognise White Ribbon Day on 25 November - a day to stand up and show we do not condone violence towards women. The White Ribbon kaupapa is something I take very seriously. I highly value

our Climate Change Champion. Around 5 years ago, with the help of a team of local growers, Dan and his wife Louisa established Carterton Farmers’ Market with a goal to move towards a focus on locally grown produce and sustainability. Soon after, they purchased a block of land for their home and dedicated 1/3rd of an acre for growing food for themselves and to sell at the market. Dan attended courses to learn how to produce more crops with less inputs. To date, Dan and his

whānau and inclusiveness, and I was honoured to be nominated to be a White Ribbon ambassador for the first district council in New Zealand to become White Ribbon accredited. My ambition for our staff here at council is to be a family with respectful relationships so we can set the example, not only for our peers, but for our community. For me, being a White Ribbon Ambassador is about more than what I do at the council. The Tribal Nations motorcycle club that I’m a member of supports three main causes each year – White

family have planted roughly 400 trees. While only in its first year, Dan is hoping to soon be able to pick stone fruit, figs, grapes and apples from their fruit tree area which doubles as a home for the chickens and ducks. The birds provide them with eggs and a small flock of sheep help keep the grass short and (unbeknownst to them) top up the freezer each year. His family conserves water

by mulching down waste cardboard, woodchip and brewer’s malt from local businesses to suppress weeds and minimise watering requirements. Dan even makes sure his Friday night beer is sustainable by refilling locally from Regent 58 while he works towards making his brew. Their children also play their part with a reduce, reuse, recycle approach in their daily activities. Well done, Dan!

Ribbon, Ride of Respect (to support RSAs) and Green Ribbon (teenage suicide awareness). We have many members who have been involved in a White Ribbon ride for several years, and recently we all took part in a RATS ride (Riding Against Teenage Suicide). I was surprised at the amount of people who were there because they had been directly affected by suicide and I saw people there I didn’t expect to.

- BY RA SMITH MAURIOHO

Maurioho is a special name because it means an awakened life force. Any time this happens something special has happened. This is the name of a waterfall at a 20-metre cliff and it relates to the taniwha, Ngarara Huarau. When this taniwha confronted a great cliff, it decided to jump to the top. On this first attempt Ngarara Huarau failed and its talons dug into the cliff but slipped all the way down. The marks of the talons can be seen in the cliff today. The taniwha hatched a new plan to succeed. Instead of jumping with outstretched limbs it would jump with limbs together and then jump again to reach the top of the cliff. The plan worked and the feeling for Ngarara Huarau was Maurioho.

UPDATE ON THE CLOCK TOWER VOTE The votes have been counted and have been checked to ensure nothing was amiss, and the result is......Sorry, Carterton you’ll need to wait just a little longer to know which colour scheme attracted the most votes. Unfortunately, there were a couple of issues with the voting process which the Council, in October, decided it wants to consider before they are told the result. So, while the votes have been counted (under supervision of a Justice of the Peace) and have been cross checked to ensure their validity, the result will not be revealed to councillors or the public until the council has debated the process at its Meeting on 20 November. Officers will present the results following that debate, at the meeting.

Clinton Thompson, Parks and Reserves Manager The money we raise goes to community organisations helping our local community who are affected by these issues. This year, the money we raised went to King Street Artworks. Our event was in Wairarapa, for Wairarapa and

the money stayed in Wairarapa for the benefit of Wairarapa people. I also speak on a show for Arrow FM to help the community see it’s okay to talk about these issues. The White and Green Ribbon kaupapa are something I’m passionate about in my personal life and it’s fantastic to have these values supported by our council. We’re proud Carterton is leading the way and we hope other businesses and organisations feel empowered to also take up this kaupapa.

Opinion

Make kindness the norm A compliment, a thoughtful gesture, a high five, or a simple smile can be enough to make someone’s day. It could be the difference between a person going to bed feeling accomplished or questioning why they are here. National headlines this week have been covering how two young women met their ends in nasty and heart-breaking circumstances, and we’ve heard how “catastrophic” bush fires in Australia are rapidly spreading, claiming lives and property. Darkness and tragedy exist in the world and the pain some people endure – losing a loved one, losing everything they own – can be hard for others to imagine. That’s why it’s so important to be kind. And not just some of the time, but to try to be kind all the time. This idea rang true in another news story that I heard this week. The Attitude Awards celebrates the achievements of people with disabilities. Among the finalists for

Piece of mind

Hayley Gastmeier an award this year is a social enterprise called The Cookie Project, which employs Kiwis with disabilities to make cookies and pays them the living wage. The Cookie Project was founded by Eric Chuah and Graeme Haddon. Eric worked in banking but left the corporate world to help those in less fortunate positions. He told RNZ the social enterprise was founded on the “kindness and compassion” of cofounder Graeme, who adopted three young people who have “at least seven disabilities” each. Eric said people with disabilities struggled to find work within the traditional employment framework. “In order for us to create a future for them, we need to throw away how employment actually works and that’s why we came up with the concept, no

resume and no interviews.” Eric said kindness was “believing the best in others when they can’t see it themselves”. If you admire someone’s actions, tell them. If you think someone’s done a good job, put it to them in writing. Some people go above and beyond all the time because it’s just who they are – and their kindness can sometimes be taken for granted. It takes energy to be a nice person so it’s important we give positive energy back in return. Smiles are free. What goes around comes around. Treat others as you’d like them to treat you. Introduced in 1998, World Kindness Day is celebrated annually on November 13. But we should be living our lives as though every day is World Kindness Day.

LETTERS

‘We all have to do our bit in large and small ways’ I was impressed with the article in last week’s Midweek regarding climate change and recycling. We all have to do our bit in large and small ways. Like Hayley, since the introduction of the council’s new bins I have been re-examining my rubbish and recycling habits. While I always felt I was vigilant, New Zealand’s ability to only recycle 1 and 2 plastics have prompted me to also change my buying habits. I will no longer

purchase a Nivea product I have used for years (number 5 plastic) and have written to the company outlining the reasons for my decision. I urge everyone to examine any plastics containers and only buy those made with plastic numbered 1 and 2. Companies generally respond better to these types of complaints if it impacts on their sales and proﬁtability. Leigh Hay Greytown Councillor, SWDC

Supermarkets should make a stand

I found last week’s editorial matches what I (and I’m sure many more) do, regarding recycling. However, it is my opinion that if the supermarkets put pressure on their suppliers, a lot more could be achieved regarding the reduction in plastic waste. Most of my rubbish, recycling, and plastic is from packaging and I, like Hayley am very discerning about how I choose my products and packaging. Surely if the retailers

(supermarkets) put the hard word out to their suppliers regarding less/ non acceptance of plastics in their packaging, we would see a more rapid reduction in waste plastics. I put this idea to a local supermarket manager and her reply was that the packaging was what the customers wanted. I feel things have changed a little and for the sake of our beautiful planet the reduction of waste plastics is a ‘now’ situation.

COMMUNITY CENTRE BUZZ

Unleashing potential with performance Beverley Jack Community Centre Manager This week I’d like to share with you StarJam, which run a programme at the Community Centre each week. StarJam is a nationwide non-proﬁt organisation with over 500 weekly participants and 42 workshops across the country, most recently adding two new Masterton workshops. By helping young people with disabilities unleash their potential through musical performance, StarJam champions the celebration and acceptance of disability. With regular term-time workshops every week and fabulous community discos every term, it’s no surprise the students are as enthusiastic as their teachers. “Tiﬀany Nichols, a very talented dancer in her 20s, gets ready at 6 0’clock in the morning,” Masterton Magical Movers dance tutor Justine Kingdon said. Kingdon embraced the disability community in her Tangle Community Dance shows, saying they played an integral part. “Alex Walsh danced so

PHOTO/SUPPLIED

beautifully I nominated him for a Francis Clarke Award.” Walsh was given the award for spectacular achievement in the Downs Syndrome community. “There are still places in both Masterton workshops, and we look forward to helping more young people reach their potential.” While the weekly workshops cater for those aged between 5-25 years, this year StarJam has launched SaturJam – accessible bi-monthly workshops for those over 25 years. Just like Kingdon, Anthony Baynes considers working with young people with disabilities a privilege. Baynes is StarJam’s new tutor for the Spectacular SingStars of Masterton

and brings a wealth of experience in music therapy. “There’s something about the love and honesty which comes from working with young people with disabilities. “In some cultures, families view children with disabilities as gifts, but not so much in New Zealand, though an increasing number of parents are embracing this sentiment.” Baynes taught music therapy in the special needs’ unit at Wairarapa College for 10 years. • For enquiries about enrolling or volunteering at StarJam, please contact the regional programmes coordinator, Nigel, at wellington@starjam. org or 021 782 866.

‘Nano-scale’ scientist Jérôme Leveneur will visit Wairarapa this Friday to talk about his work at the atomic level. Jérôme, above, is involved with nanotechnologies, the techniques that make phones and computers work and that allow the manufacture of ultrahigh definition screens just a few millimetres thick. Some cosmetic products and antiseptic sprays also use these technologies. “Just how small are nanometres?” Jérôme asks. “How are nanomaterials made? “And why do we go that small? These are some of the questions that my talk will answer.” Jérôme and his team at the National Isotope Centre accelerate beams of ions to very high velocities and crash them on the surfaces of materials. “This ion implantation can precisely change the properties of the first 20 or 30 nanometres of material below the surface,” he explains. “It can give ultrasmoothness, better electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance, and it can increase toughness.” These properties can greatly improve energy efficiency and reduce cleaning time in agriculture, manufacturing, energy production, transport and the food industry. The ion guns

that produce them are common in the microelectronics industry but rare in other industrial fields. Scientists and technicians at GNS Science in Lower Hutt are working to increase their use in industry. Jérôme’s talk about advanced materials and processing techniques will use examples from history, the lab and his own kitchen. “It’s a journey to a world that can fit on the tip of a needle, where an object’s size and dimensions define its colour, where magnets lose their memory, and where the tiniest collection of atoms can change the nature of a material.” Jérôme has a PhD in chemical sciences from the University of Auckland. He works in the Materials Team at GNS Science and is also an associate investigator at the MacDiarmid Institute for Advanced Materials and Nanotechnologies. Much of his work is at the ‘nano-scale’, 1000 times thinner than a human hair. Jérôme will present his talk – Nanotechnologies, tiny things and ion beams – to a meeting of Science Wairarapa at 7.30pm on Friday, November 15, in the Rangitumau Room, REAP House, 340 Queen St, Masterton. • All are welcome.

Volunteers, community group workers and Department of Conservation staff working at Featherston’s Bucks Rd PHOTO/SUPPLIED campsite, Sunday, November 3.

Working bee for campsite Marcus Anselm Featherston’s popular Bucks Rd campsite is getting a spruce up ahead of the busy summer season. The beauty spot is a few minutes’ drive north of the south Wairarapa town, on the banks of the Tauherenikau [Tauwharenikau] river. It is popular with travellers from around the globe, with visitors attracted by high ratings on popular travel tip websites. The popularity has come at a cost, with demand high for the one toilet for the 25 campsites. And that often means that the campground is left in a less than desirable state. Last summer, locals were disappointed by the conditions some visitors

left behind. The Department of Conservation [DOC] and local community group Fab Feathy set up a working bee earlier this month to tidy up the land with dozens of locals pitching in. “There was a great turnout and we really enjoyed doing something positive for a special little part of Featherston,” said Wairarapa DOC ranger Jim Flack. DOC will set up extra toilet facilities, with at least one more toilet due onsite by the end of 2019. In New Zealand, DOC sites have a longstanding policy, backed by legislation, to ensure park users remove any waste they leave. Fab Feathy is planning a hui soon to discuss what other work is needed.

From 1991-98, Garson owned and operated a fibre design business, Hilltop Handweaver, with sales across New Zealand, and exports to Australia and Japan. “I carried out shortterm consultancies through the same period,

including community development planning, community resource management and resource audit, adult education self-employment, craft tourism, export readiness, business mentoring and coaching, and advocacy for New Zealand’s Special Health Area model.” She recently wrote Still Lives - a memoir of Gaza, to tell the story of her Gaza years, two wars, and the most unlikely social enterprise. The book was published in New Zealand last month. The meeting will be at 8pm on Wednesday, November 20 in the Seminar Room, Wairarapa Sports House, corner Chapel and Jackson Streets, Masterton.

On show this week are the Leonid meteors. At their best they can put on a remarkable display. However, there is always something getting in the way of seeing the best show. Firstly, are you keen on getting out at 4am next Monday morning? Secondly, the forecast peak of the show happens when the constellation of Leo the lion is not visible from New Zealand due to that bothersome thing called daylight. Then again, when it is visible for us, we have another bothersome celestial light, the moon. It will be somewhat over half full and likely to wash out any of the dimmer meteors. Finally, Leo, where the meteors seem to emanate from, rises only an hour or so before dawn light starts to interfere. In that position just above the horizon, we miss out on the meteors zooming down over the horizon. All that said, these ﬂashes of super-heated meteoroids, particle debris from comet 55P/ Tempel-Tuttle, can be quite awesome to see. At 4am on Monday,

of the dog, the hunter and the bull rise across the eastern sky. With no moon to get in the way, get out after 10pm to see some of the brightest stars in the sky. Starting in the southwest, Canopus, the second brightest star, is about a quarter the way up the sky. Scanning more east, Sirius is even brighter, and at due east, Rigel and Betelgeuse display their colours in the constellation of Orion. Scan around to north-east and Taurus is rising with the red star Aldebaran very prominent, though not as big and red as Betelgeuse. Growing up in England, the glorious appearance of Sirius, Betelgeuse, Rigel and Aldebaran was always a winter event. In New Zealand we are fortunate in not having to freeze our toes oﬀ to see the return of these constellations of stars. And we get Canopus thrown in the mix as well, which is not ever visible in UK. Next week: Beauty and the beast. Venus meets Jupiter.

Sky Watch

Nick Sault Leo has risen in the north-east. The bright star Regulus in the front paw of the lion should be very visible in that part of the sky. Remember that though the meteors will appear to come from a point spot in Leo, they generally do not start to burn until well away from the point. So, you should be prepared for anything in

that north-east quadrant of the sky. There have been years when thousands of Leonids per hour were recorded, and occasionally there have been extremely bright meteors called ﬁreballs (see picture). So, you never know. At a more userfriendly time this week, be sure to see the greatest star show, as the super constellations

By Stuart Bruere BVSc

RURAL ISSUES ARE THE SAME THE WORLD OVER In October I visited the general area of Central New South Wales to attend a family wedding and spend time with cousins on my mother’s side of the family. I couldn’t help but notice the obvious parallels in what is now generally described as the rural – urban divide. The same issues are topics of conversation – water supply, environmental contamination, mental health of farmers and the majority of the population of the country are no longer connected to farming in any way apart from purchasing food products on sale in the local supermarket. The land beyond the Great Dividing Range (over the Blue Mountains from Sydney) is vast. It will take you at least 12 hours to drive from Bathurst to Broken Hill in the west or 7 hours to drive to Lightening Ridge in the north. Tar-sealed roads in good condition littered every kilometre or so with the carcases of grey kangaroos that have been hit in road accidents. This land hasn’t seen significant rain for over 3 years now. Many of the rural landscapes are now devoid of livestock, the dams are empty and the red dust invades every space with the slightest of breeze. The Burrendong Dam, situated near the town of Wellington; estimated to hold three times the amount of water in Sydney Harbour when full; is now down to 4% of capacity. The surface area of the lake

behind the dam is 8,900 hectares. It is fed by the Macquarie River out of the Blue Mountains catchment. The wind blew one afternoon; the red dust circled the buildings and barns. You could only see a few metres in front of you. As I flew out of Dubbo Airport, I took note as the red dust seemed to rise some 4000 feet into the air. The landscape was invisible from the small aeroplane as I headed towards Sydney. I left with a sense of heart felt connection to the land and its people. If you know farming families in the area described, invite them to New Zealand to stay; rest from the heat and the dust and recharge their lives.

The landscape needs some water.

All the elements of a rural landscape in New South Wales.

MASTERTON MONTHLY WRAP

HE TĀKAI KŌRERO MAI I WHAKAORIORI MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE Kia ora tatou, We now have a new council after last month’s local body elections, with some familiar faces returning and new councillors elected. Lyn Patterson returns as Mayor, with Graham McClymont also re-elected along with Gary Caffell, Bex Johnson, Frazer Mailman, and Chris Peterson. Our newly elected councillors are Brent Gare, David Holmes, Tim Nelson, Tina Nixon and Sandy Ryan. At its inaugural meeting the Council also confirmed Graham McClymont as Deputy Mayor. The new council can be seen on the council website. The turnout for the election was excellent, with 48.92 per cent of registered voters casting votes, matching the turnout from 2013, and reversing a slide that saw a figure of 43.55 per cent voting in 2016.

The council has wasted no time getting down to work after a powhiri at Te Rangimarie Marae on 30 October. The manaakitanga shown at the marae was fantastic and the event was a wonderful way to bring the new council together. The council then went to hold its inaugural meeting, including approving the annual report for 2018-19. This sets out what was achieved in a very successful year, and has been published on the council website. You can see the highlights below. The council has a new committee structure, following recommendations by council staff for a streamlined approach, with a newly named Infrastructure and Services committee (previously the Infrastructural Services committee), now being responsible for community wellbeing, and policy and strategy.

OUR YEAR IN REVIEW With the recent adoption of our Annual Report, we’re pleased to take the opportunity to take a look back at what we achieved over the last financial year. We spent a lot of time in early 2018 developing the Long-Term Plan and working to understand our community’s priorities. As a result, we committed to key projects and work on these projects kicked off in the 2018-19 financial year. The Town Centre Revamp is one example. After three years of engagement and consultation with the community, the Council adopted the Town Centre Strategy in August 2018. Change isn’t easy, and there is understandable caution around what the revamp will mean for our town. We are looking forward to seeing this work, and collaboration with the community and business owners, continue. We also progressed work on potential future options for Masterton’s Town Hall. To help better inform decision-making we invested in additional research to understand what sort of facility would best suit the needs of our community and the level of demand that exists. We also looked deeper into what such a development was likely to cost. Other key achievements include investing in a range of existing assets and bringing them up to an acceptable standard for future use. This includes the rejuvenation of Queen Elizabeth Park, earthquake strengthening of the cricket grandstand, upgrading the outdoor pool, and refurbishing various sports facilities, including the Athletics and Cycling Masterton building at the Colin Pugh Sports Bowl, and the Douglas Villa clubrooms. On the infrastructure front, it was great to see more than 100 people at the Homebush Wastewater Treatment Plant open day in March 2019. You can read the full overview of our year in the Annual Report on our website.

We are Local Government WWW.MSTN.GOVT.NZ

The Community Wellbeing and Strategic Planning and Policy committees have been disestablished. The next three years will no doubt be busy and exciting, with some large projects ahead. Nga mihi, Kath Ross

Being prepared for the big one The Masterton branch of the Red Cross received a donation from the Wairarapa Times-Age as a result of a feature highlighting the New Zealand ShakeOut, which took place on October 17, 2019. The New Zealand ShakeOut was the Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management’s national earthquake drill and tsunami hikoi (walk). A number of Wairarapa

schools, businesses and organisations, including the Times-Age, participated in the drill on the day. The ShakeOut feature ran in the Midweek on October 9 and in the Times-Age on October 14. A portion of the proceeds from the advertising sold as part of the feature was handed over by Times-Age commercial manager Andrea Hay to Red

Cross humanitarian development engagement manager Jo McDonald last week. Jo said the donation would be put towards local community programmes being run by the Wairarapa Red Cross branch. Andrea said the ShakeOut was an important calendar event that raised awareness about being prepared in case a natural disaster hit.

HOMEGROWN FRUIT AT PINEHAVEN ORCHARDS Many things have changed in Greytown, but you can still buy apples from the same orchard that grew them as far back as the early 1900s.

The shop is rare in that it sells its own home-grown produce including 12 varieties of apples, six varieties of pears, stone fruit including nectarines, plums and peaches, berries and a selection of vegetables. Pinehaven grows 12 varieties of apples which allows Stephen and Sarah to sell freshly picked apples right through the season.

Stephen’s grandfather Stan Meyrick began working in Greytown’s orchards in 1926 and bought Pinehaven Orchards in Udy Street where the iconic “Gala” variety originated. Stan’s son Stuart later ran the business, with Stephen and wife Sarah running the business today.

Stephen continues to plant new varieties including heritage ones, and recently planted some heritage pear trees near the picnic tables outside the shop.

Since 2003 Stephen and Sarah have focused on the local market, with Pinehaven growing to include a number of orchards around Greytown.

The couple continue to add new products to the shop as well, with vegetable seedlings from Lansdowne Nursery in Masterton being a recent addition.

The club rooms include a bar and restaurant, full TAB facilities, a big screen television for the major sporting matches, and hosts monthly musical entertainment.

A NEW LOOK FOR HISTORIC SOCIAL INSTITUTION With several acting sporting groups, good food and entertainment, and a membership of over a thousand, the South Wairarapa Working Men’s Club is a staple of the district’s social calendar. And now the 142-year-old club has a makeover to look forward to – with renovations on its Main Street, Greytown premises beginning early next year, subject to consents etc. Manager and secretary David Linton says the renovations will include decking building around the outside of the clubrooms, which will allow more space for members to socialise, and a “major facelift” and paint work to modernise the front of the building. “We think it will make the building both more attractive and userfriendly for our members,” David says.

“It will be good for members who have children, and families who come for a meal – the kids have more room to play on the decks without running into the main street. The club was originally founded in 1877, receiving a royal charter signed by Queen Victoria in 1881. Nowadays, it has 1350 active members, ranging in age from 15 to 102. The club rooms include a bar and restaurant, full TAB facilities, a big screen television for the major sporting matches, and hosts monthly musical entertainment. The club has several adjuncts, or sub-groups, whose members meet regularly for sporting pursuits, including cards, snooker and pool, indoor and outdoor bowls, darts, golf and fishing – with some even participating in local and national championships. It also has an adjunct for its senior members, Club 60, whose members meet monthly for cards, pool, and bowls. David says the club supports the community through its Education and Welfare Trust – providing grants for members’ children/ grandchildren to go towards their school activities and tertiary studies. “The club is great place to come for social interaction – we’ve got a lovely, very diverse bunch of members. “In fact, some of our members are from several generation of the same family.” A prizegiving for the club’s sporting adjuncts will be held at 7pm on Friday, 12 November with Gil Mohi entertaining.

Sir Kim Workman’s life was honored at Papawai pa yesterday.

PHOTO/ELI HILL

Korero at Papawai Eli Hill Cars lined the sides of Pa Rd, Greytown, last Friday as local iwi welcomed more than 100 people onto the Papawai Marae to recognise Sir Kim Workman’s knighthood, and to discuss themes of ‘nationhood and identity.’ Attendees were treated to anecdotes from Sir Kim’s life including his father’s rediscovery of his Maori identity and whakapapa. He also spoke of growing up at Papawai Marae, the developments he’d seen at the marae

over his lifetime, and the legacy of its leaders. “I stand here to say thank you, to thank this house, this marae, those kaumatua and kuia whose breath I have inhaled through the decades. “I’m thankful that in the process of forging a strategic vision to reform justice in the prison system, I was able to draw on the qualities of the tipuna who inhabited not only my lived experienced but my spiritual world.” Sir Kim wrapped up his – at times emotional – korero by talking about succession and the

formation of Just Speak which would ensure justice reform would continue even after his own voice had faded. Also speaking was Governor General Dame Patsy Reddy who referenced Papawai’s history and the roles it had played in New Zealand’s collective history. Other speakers included former National Party MP Chris Finlayson, Action Station director Laura O’Connell Rapira, and chairperson of Ngati Kahungunu Inc, Ngahiwi Tomoana.

Leading economist to visit Wairarapa stumbled upon economics. To his delight he discovered a subject tackling both numbers and people. From that stage he was hooked. Despite his passion for numbers, Dr Nana believes economics is about people: their jobs, their incomes, their opportunities and their futures. He strongly believes robust economic analysis is critical to ensure informed choices and policy decisions are made that have a positive eﬀect on the lives and prospects of New Zealanders.

The Wairarapa business community has a rare opportunity to hear from one of New Zealand’s leading economists, when the Wairarapa Chamber of Commerce hosts Dr Ganesh Nana at a lunch at Copthorne Solway Park on Wednesday, March 7. Dr Nana is a ﬁrstgeneration New Zealander and describes himself as a one-eyed Wellington supporter, and a cricket purist. He began university with a plan to train as an accountant. That plan lasted less than one term because he

He is the chief economist at BERL and now has over 30 years of experience in the ﬁeld of economics including business consulting, conference presentations, research, tutoring and lecturing in New Zealand and the UK. At BERL he has worked on a wide range of projects, including development strategies, cost-beneﬁt analyses, labour market projections, infrastructure assessments and examining policy options. The imperative for New Zealand’s competitive export-oriented economy to be strengthened has been a

common theme throughout most projects. Over the past few years his work has seen a focus on the Māori economy and incorporating this information into a nationwide modelling framework. Wairarapa Chamber of Commerce general manager Catherine Rossiter-Stead said she was delighted to have such an esteemed expert sharing his knowledge with the Wairarapa business community. “Ganesh is a legend in terms of New Zealand economics, but what sets him apart from other

experts in his ﬁeld is the ability to communicate complex issues to any audience,” she said. “The people he speaks to always go away with a unique insight into current and future economic issues, due to his extensive knowledge and engaging delivery style. “We are anticipating a good turnout for this event.” • Places are limited and are available by emailing info@ wairarapachamber. co.nz priced at $40 each or $360 for a table of 10.

Wine mogul swoops to town Karen Coltman

The Flying Winemaker has landed at the Gladstone Vineyard because he now owns it. Wine mogul Eddie McDougall set up an urban winery in Hong Kong then ﬂew all over the world to sell wine. He thought, being a ﬂying wine maker, this was a suitable name for his label. “I had my sights on New Zealand but wanted the exact soil and conditions I need to make premium wines. I found it in Gladstone,” McDougall said. McDougall was born in Hong Kong and lived there

until he was 11. His father was a Hong Kong based inventor famed for inventing the Colgate electric toothbrush. “I reckon I got my ‘neversay-die’ attitude from dad, not sure I got all his stubborn mindset. But it is true you really need a thick skin to make it in business.” When his dad died in 2008, he realised how short life was. He did a business degree in Australia but came out of that frustrated and unsure what to do until he tasted a very expensive wine that changed his life. “I worked at a restaurant where everything and everyone went wrong

one night. “A bunch of politicians walked out but left their wine. “We drank it and, holy cow, this changed my life, it was incredible.” It was a Pinot Blanc by Paul Blanck, Alsace, France. His passion was ignited. He went to Barolo in Italy to learn about wine. He learnt from top of the line Italian producer, Vietti. As the new custodian of 1986 Gladstone Vineyard, McDougall will be the winemaker and his plan is to elevate production quality to produce more ﬁne wines and get them on the Asian market.

Finding self-worth, happiness Midweek Musings

Tim Nelson The Lakeview School principal endeavours to learn something new every day by reading books, listening to podcasts, and engaging with a wide range of other content. Make the most of your devices

I have recently bought a ﬁtness tracker. One thing I have noticed so far has been the huge range of applications the device has. I now need to ensure that I make the most of all that it has to oﬀer, from sleep monitoring to heart rate tracking. It’s easy to buy new things after seeing what they can do through the many ways that they are advertised. It’s equally easy to then not fully utilise the very same items, such as

phones, ﬁtness trackers, and a wide range of multifaceted products. However, in this case, my goal is to make the most of all that my new device has to enhance my wellbeing through health and ﬁtness monitoring.

How to be happy

On The Minimalists Podcast author Johann Hari shared research on what was done in one study to help to make people happier. The solution he shared was both simple and a little ironic – you will become happier if you do things to make other people happier.

FRIDAY 15 November

A big range of music with rock and roll, country, r and b, reggae and disco with all those songs people love to sing along to

We can learn anything!

How lucky are we? That’s the opinion of author Ryan Holiday (someone who has ideas I have shared so many of in the past). Why are we so lucky? It’s because we have access to such a huge amount of information that we can use to learn to do just about anything, from complicated gymnastics moves (my daughter did this by watching YouTube videos), to learning how to invest in the share market. It wasn’t too long ago that only those with money to spend would have the same level of information. These days an internet connection and a public library card gives you access to all of the knowledge you’ll need to achieve just about anything.

Find purpose in gardening

I can’t recall the exact details, as the note I wrote to myself was too brief, but I love the general idea of this story shared by Johann Hari on The Minimalists Podcast. Talking about happiness and purpose Johann shared how a group of people suﬀering from degrees of depression were assigned the task of meeting up on a piece of land

for no other purpose than forming connections. Once there it was decided that they would use the land they were on to create a community garden. Before too long people in the group had created the garden that they tended and cared for, giving themselves a sense of purpose through the project, with the added advantage of working outside in the soil, conditions that have proven results in building feelings of self-worth and happiness. Examples like this show how people can work together, building community wellbeing.

Progress doesn’t mean perfection

point she envisioned at the beginning of the process, as her house didn’t reflect those that inspired her to declutter a year earlier. However, despite not getting to the idealistic outcome there had still been significant change made, with less stuff being bought and a tidier and more organised house. The point here is that we don’t always achieve the ultimate outcome, however, in falling short we are still in a better place than we were when we set out to achieve a goal. Success isn’t just about perfection, it’s more about progress.

He is regarded as one of the very best batters in the world, captains India, and, at 30 years of age, has a long career ahead of him at the very top of the game. However, things haven’t always been like this for Kohli – at one stage he was dropped from the team despite being extraordinarily talented. During this time Kohli took a good look at himself and realised that his actions didn’t reflect who he wanted to be – he was a poor trainer, ate unhealthy foods, generally living a life that would not see him reaching his potential. Once the realisation hit, Kohli changed immediately and the results came, leading to the form that has him where he is today. Not only that, what he did as an individual impacted on others in the national team leading to a period of unprecedented success that has India at the top of test cricket and a close second in one day internationals. Virat Kohli is an example of what anyone can do to become the best they can be. It doesn’t need to be as an international cricketer, it could be in whatever field a person is in. Our goals and dreams need to be backed up by the actions we take.

Big fish from little whitebait Dear friends, If you were able to keep one teeny tiny whitebait fish alive for 25 years, how big would it get? The answer would depend on which of New Zealand’s five species it was. The giant kokopu is the largest and can live to be over 25 years old. A fish of that age can reach over 55cm in length and weigh approximately 2.5 kilograms. That’s quite a huge fish, but like all things in life, it starts from very small beginnings. In Autumn, mature fish spawn and lay eggs on overhanging plants and leaf debris along the edges of riverbanks. The constant rising and receding water levels at this time of year stimulate fertilised eggs to hatch. This takes about one month, after which the 7mm long fry are washed out to sea. Most get eaten by

other fish, but those that do survive will live off microscopic free-floating organisms known as zooplankton. By Spring, the fry will have grown to 50mm in length and will return to freshwater streams as whitebait. They will follow the river’s edge, often in large shoals known as runs. These tend to be biggest just after flooding, or on rising tides. Often you may see whitebaiters waiting with nets on the river’s

edge around these times. Predominately their nets will catch inanga – the more common species of whitebait – but all whitebait species can find their way into the nets and all remain threatened. Remarkably there are no regulations on the amount of whitebait that can be fished by individuals and subsequently whitebait runs seem to be getting smaller or scarcer every year. In fairness to whitebaiters it’s not just overfishing reducing whitebait numbers. Dirty water, erosion of riverbanks by livestock, artificial barriers in streams and competition and predation by introduced fish all play their part. To help advocate for whitebait, Pukaha has six giant kokopu in an aquarium at our Kiwi House.

These were all unwanted males, coming from a commercial farm that sustainably cultivates whitebait. Only one male is required to fertilise the eggs of 20 females, so they had some spare. Our guys are about four years old and 13cms long. If they reach 25 years we will definitely need a bigger aquarium! Stay tuned! Until next week, The Pukaha Rangers. Contributed by Alex Wall • The Wairarapa Midweek has partnered with Pukaha National Wildlife Centre to put a spotlight on wildlife conservation efforts locally and allow readers to get up close and personal with New Zealand’s amazing native species.

Scene of crime officer Tim Wilson (pictured) farewelled Wairarapa Police last week after 33 years of service. “I’ve had some good catches,” he said. Working as a scene of crime officer for the past 26 years, he enjoyed crime scene examination and photographing. “I like finding forensic evidence - it ties things up.” He said when he caught offenders he felt “chuffed”, especially with DNA evidence or fingerprints as they were often irrefutable. Getting that evidence not only helps get a conviction, but often gets an early guilty plea which saves the victims going through a trial and reliving the trauma, he said. “A good find can save a lot of court time.” Joining the force at 30, he just slipped in under the age restriction at the time. He said what makes it a great job is the people. He said they had thrown a few good pranks over the years and he was looking forward to retirement and summer as he hadn’t had one off since 1972.

Youth opportunities in ag off to Perth, Australia for several months where she oversaw the shearing for 7000 merino ewes. “That was one of the best jobs I’ve ever done. Once you get used to the heat and the flies, it’s a really good time,” she laughed. She returned to Wairarapa after falling sick while on her overseas exchange in Europe and deciding to come home early. It all worked out alright though. She’s just finished working as a shepherd at Castlepoint Station to launch her own mobile crutching business, MJC Ag Services, with her fiance Jake Coulston. It’s something they had talked about for a while, wanting to get ahead in the industry. “He was advancing quite quickly in his farming career [as a manager at a farm in Tinui]. “We decided to get our own dagging trailer and

The wheels are turning for an entrepreneurial young Tinui woman who just last month launched her own ag services and dagging business. At just 22 years old, former Agri-Women Development Trust course graduate, Miki Pearson proves there are plenty of opportunities for young people in the agriculture sector. Pearson was always interested in entering the field, having spent her early years on a large station. After leaving school at the age of 16, she went on to study at Telford, just south of Balclutha, finishing with a Certificate of Agriculture. She continued her learning, working on a Gore station for two years where she worked with sheep and beef, grain, and deer. From there, she was

I really liked being part of the big team there.” She said one of the biggest challenges of starting her own business, was adapting to the new way of working and being her own boss. Other than that, setting up the business had been as daunting as some might imagine. Rather than buying new

At a time when many in the industry have raised concerns about a shortage of youth in the agriculture sector, it was important for people to create opportunities for young people, she said. She said involving younger workers in farm planning and setting a good example for how a young shepherd should be was important. “Surround yourself with people that want to see you succeed. “Work for people who don’t just see you as a tool in their business but as a person too. You’re not just there to do a job, you’re there to grow the business.” Pearson hoped to be able to return the favour some day and help other young people entering the industry. In the months where dagging was slower, Pearson would also oﬀer casual mustering services as part of her business. • More information about MJC Ag Services can Tinui couple Jake Coulston and Miki Pearson have just launched their new business venture, MJC Ag Services. be found on the MJC PHOTO/SUPPLIED Ag Services Ltd Facebook page. equipment outright, the couple opted to lease it, helping to save on the cost of setting up. “That was a really attractive part of our set up. “It hasn’t cost us a lot. “It’s the kind of business where you get more out of it then you put into it right at the start. You don’t have to wait.” The biggest expense was buying a new dagging plant which set them back about $1000. Pearson attributed setting up the business to conﬁdence inspired

Lucy in the sky with diamonds

Wai Write

Calvin Winterbottom A little girl called Lucy lay on her back dead in the middle of the road with her mother sobbing her name. A bus driver was in shock at the fact he had killed the girl by hitting her with his bus, which had skidded on a patch of black ice. Nearby, a doctor was talking to the ambulance crew and police, way up in the sky her pink helium filled balloons glittering in the sunlight like diamonds. There were also many onlookers at the fairground since it was 12pm on Boxing Day. Lucy woke up suddenly screaming, crying and wetting herself in her bed with her mother looking anxiously over her. Two helium balloons were tied to each of the post of her bed. Lucy, like her mother was terrified – her bedroom floor was covered completely with brightly coloured balloons Lucy’s mother then asked her to recount her nightmare.

She told her that at 8am on Boxing Day they had left the house to go to the local fair when they had arrived having great fun playing on the bouncy castle before spending time on the helter skelter. Lucy then said amongst tears that they spent time together on the dodgem cars before going round the stalls and returning to the bouncy castle until they bought two pink helium balloons. She recounted how she crossed the road some way in front of her mother holding the balloons and was sent ﬂying by a bus, losing the balloons and found herself in heaven. Lucy also told her mother that she had dreamt of speaking to Santa while he ate the mince pie and glass of milk she left out for him. Santa allowed her to open one present. A My Little Pony Inﬂatable Bouncy Castle was what Lucy opened. Once she had opened her present though, Santa removed his cloak and

revealed a skeleton body. It took a long time to calm Lucy down, her mother was also badly shaken by what her daughter had told her about both nightmares and that it was only Christmas Eve. Lucy’s mother allowed her to play with the balloons all around her room to comfort herself. Lucy’s entire bedroom had a My Little Pony theme, but she was having so much fun throwing and hitting the balloons around the room she lost track of time and her mother came in after an hour instructing her to go to bed because if she did not Santa would count her as a bad girl and she would not receive any Christmas presents. Christmas Day, Lucy

got up early and despite the nightmares had an excellent breakfast with her mother. She then made her way into the living room still dressed in her nightie and started to unwrap the presents. Lucy spent the morning after breakfast playing with her Christmas presents and all the balloons. Lucy, having got dressed straight after opening the presents in a woolly hat, leggings, sweatshirt, padded jacket and gumboots, went outside in the three feet of snow and had fun making a snowman. Lucy was all in pink and was joined later by her mother and they had brilliant fun having a snowball ﬁght.

THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY

After Christmas tea, Lucy stayed indoors and continued to play with her Christmas presents and the balloons until it was bedtime. The Boxing Day trip to the fairground went without any problems. Lucy had a brilliant fun time before going home with a massive selection of balloons and toys. So, Lucy did not die like in her nightmare.

Circular economic models are seen as a way to reduce costs and generate new income streams, while responding to the climate emergency. How can Wairarapa businesses champion the Circular Economy? What can we learn from other regions and businesses that are already making progress? Polly Griffiths from the Sustainability Trust is joining Sustainable Wairarapa and and local business sustainability champions to talk about the Scottish Government's approach to the Circular Economy, and discuss what the opportunities are for the Wairarapa.

Wairarapa teams winless CRICKET

Williams came into bat with Weraroa at 21-1 and was all aggression in scoring 59 off 47 balls, including 12 fours, guiding his team to victory in 18.1 overs. The results leave Red Star and Lansdowne rooted to the bottom of the points table. The two teams will meet in the next round to be played on November 30.

Sport

Chris Cogdale Poor batting cost Red Star and Lansdowne in their heavy losses in the latest round of the Coastal Challenge on Saturday. Burger King Red Star made a flying start in their clash with defending champions Whanganui Marist at Queen Elizabeth Park Oval. After the early loss of Nathan Elliott, bowled by a peach of a delivery without troubling the scorers, Stefan Hook and Ethan Childs were all aggression as they added 100 for the second wicket. Hook was caught for 46 (45 balls, including 4 fours and 4 sixes) off the bowling of Angus Dinwiddie to make the score 107-2 after 16 overs. That should have set up the home side for a big total on the even paced oval pitch, but a combination of steady bowling and poor shot selection saw Red Star lose regular wickets. Ethan Childs with 52 (51 balls, 5 fours and one six) was the third wicket to fall with the score at 115. Of the remaining batsmen only Sean Jarvis (14no) and captain Peter Sigvertsen (13) managed double figures as Red Star were dismissed for 160

BRIEF SCORES

Stefan Hook on the charge.

in 33.3 overs, having lost their last nine wickets for only 53 runs. Medium pacers Dinwiddie and Hadleigh O’Leary each picked up three wickets for Marist. The visitors made no race of the chase cruising to victory for the loss of three wickets and more than 20 overs to spare. Opener Chris Stewart with 77 not out (91 balls, 10 fours and 2 sixes) was the backbone of Marist’s controlled innings.

Left arm spinner Quinn Childs nabbed two wickets for Red Star. Jackson Street Bar Lansdowne will be sick of the sight of Weraroa’s Daniel Williams after their heavy nine wicket loss at Weraroa Domain, Levin. The allrounder picked up a five-wicket bag, including three of Lansdowne’s dangermen, Robbie Speers, Jack Forrester and Jaco Vorster, and scored an unbeaten half century

in the home side’s easy victory. After being put into bat on a greenish pitch, Lansdowne never really got going and stumbled to 234, before being dismissed for 101 off 28.5 overs. A fifth wicket partnership of 28 between Reece Hannam (11) and Nick Chaney (24) and a nine wicket stand of 34 between Regan Fricker (10) and Jon Ryan (21no) were the only pockets of resistance.

Burger King Red Star 160 (Stefan Hook 46, Ethan Childs 52, Angus Dinwiddie 3-28, Hadleigh 3-44, Dominic Rayner 2-21) lost to Whanganui Marist 165-3 (Chris Stewart 77no, Dominic Rayner 31) by seven wickets. Jackson Street Bar Lansdowne 101 (Daniel Williams 5-27) lost to Weraroa 102-1 (Daniel Williams 59no) by nine wickets.

Teams get ready for racing at the Central Region Dragon Boat Regatta on Henley Lake. PHOTO/SUPPLIED

March 2020. Races were held over 500 metres and 2000m. The 500m mixed ﬁnal was won by Centre Port

from Wellington in two minutes 34 seconds, with the Wairarapa Dragon Boat club second and Valley Dragons from Wellington

in third place. The 2000m mixed ﬁnal, which is twice around the lake, was also won by Centre Port in 11 mins 48.59 secs. Wairarapa were second and Valley Dragons third. The Taranaki Dragons won the women’s division 2000m race. This year marks the club’s tenth anniversary of the Wairarapa Dragon Boat Club and many of the foundation members are still paddling under

the same coach, Ivan Karaitiana. The club have entered teams for Hamilton, Wellington, Auckland and the Nationals at Karapiro so it is a busy season ahead. Over the years the club has purchased four international boats which allows them to grow in future. The current membership ranges in age from 14 to 72 and is open for men and women.

Carterton and Martinborough lock in semiÿ nals Chris Cogdale Carterton and Martinborough One are guaranteed the top seedings for the semiﬁnals of the Men’s Regional Interclub Tennis preChristmas competition. They share the lead on 14 points, seven clear of Gladstone, with one

round to play. Opaki are on six points and Masterton five points, with those two to meet to decide the fourth semifinalist this weekend. Martinborough Two are the only team that can’t make the top four. Carterton wrapped up their fixture with Masterton in the singles. Number one Matt Spooner lifted his game to beat former Auckland age group player Boon

Scott Day picked up a valuable win for Gladstone PHOTO/JADE CVETKOV

Huxtable 7-5, 6-3. Andi Steinemann was too good for Rhys Hooper, winning 6-4, 6-2. Huxtable and Hooper bounced back for a relatively easy win in the doubles 6-4, 6-1. The clash between the two Martinborough sides was tied at 1-1 after the singles. Martinborough One’s Chris Wilkie beat Matt Nicholson 6-2, 6-3, before Ed Wilkie tied it with a 6-4, 6-2 defeat of Marco de Groot. Chris Wilkie and Steve Chapman combined in the doubles for an easy 6-1, 6-1 win over Jaime McMaster and Mike Jones, to give the number one team a 2-1 victory. Gladstone had their clash with Opaki in the bag after

the singles. Scott Day beat Brett Dymond 6-3, 6-0, and William Day defeated Duncan Oakley 6-4, 6-1 for an unbeatable lead. Oakley and Chris Davidson won a tight doubles over the Day brothers 4-6, 6-3, 10-8. The inclusion of Sarah Healey at number one gave Martinborough a decided edge over Opaki. The classy Irish woman was too good for the experienced Gerry Brooking winning 6-2, 6-1. Belinda Day squared the tie with a hard fought 6-4, 7-6 win over Katherine Jacobs. Healey and Jacobs came from a set down to win a thrilling doubles match 3-6, 6-2, 10-8. The clash between the

two St Matthew’s teams was deferred due to school commitments.
