Waireka Collings with son Jayden - her inspiration for setting up the Pu˜wai P°rau Academy. P HOTO/SUPPLIED

When Waireka Collings attended Wairarapa College, she knew science wasn’t her best subject.

“I remember getting 50 percent in my fifth form biology exam. I just thought to myself, ‘well, that’s not good enough — science clearly isn’t my strength.’ So, I didn’t continue with it,” she said.

“I didn’t see other Maori students engaging with science. I didn’t see it as a pathway for me.”

Now a māmā of five, including a 15-yearold about to sit his NCEA Level 1 exams, Collings wanted her children to have a better experience with their education: and to create a community where rangatahi Maori can thrive in the classroom — and beyond.

Collings [Nga Puhi, Ngai Te Rangi] is the founder of the Puāwai Pūrau Academy — a pilot programme dedicated to supporting Maori students in Wairarapa to succeed in STEM [science, technology, engineering, and mathematics]

STEM-themed events, and introduce them to Maori who have been successful in scientific fields — hoping to inspire students to consider further study on leaving school.

Puāwai Pūrau, which will be launched in Masterton on Thursday,

There are still a lot of the same ways of thinking around science as when I was young: the idea that science is ‘too hard’ for our ˜konga, and young people not seeing matauranga Maori [Maori knowledge] re° ected in their classes. subjects at school.

The programme is open to ākonga Maori [Maori students] studying NCEA Level 1 science and mathematics — who will receive oneon-one tutoring from local secondary school teachers as they prepare for their exams.

The academy also aims to connect ākonga with STEM employers, accompany them to

Collings, who works in communications at the New Zealand Qualifications Authority, said Maori achievement in STEM subjects tends to lag behind that of Pakeha students—with

fewer ākonga Maori leaving school having completed NCEA science and maths.

Traditionally, Maori are also underrepresented in STEM careers and academia: with a 2020 study finding Maori and Pasifika made up less than five per cent of the total full-time employees in New Zealand science faculties.

Collings said there are several theories as to why ākonga Maori are underperforming in STEM subjects: for example, teachers’ bias against Maori students, Maori being streamed into “nonacademic” classes, and a predominantly Eurocentric curriculum.

Finding strength in caring

Erin Kavanagh-Hall

“Toitū te marae ō Tāne, Toitū te marae o Tangaroa, Toitū te tangata.”

This whakatauki [proverb], which translates as “if the forest and the ocean are strong, so too are the people”, will be emblazoned on the base of the new Ruamahanga Environmental Award trophy — soon to be gifted to Wairarapa schools to present at their annual prize-giving.

The award is the creation of the Ruamahanga Restoration Trust: formed in 2019 by a collective of Rathkeale College old boys to support communities across the Ruamahanga River catchment with environmental restoration projects.

The Trust’s signature project is its Schools Behind Our River programme, designed to empower rangatahi [young people] to become caretakers of their environment through hands-on learning experiences: from riparian planting, to monitoring water quality using DNA testing, to establishing their own pockets of native bush and regenerating wetland spaces.

Twenty schools are currently involved with Schools Behind Our River — with the Trust raising $160,000 over the last three years towards resources, field trips, and planting events.

The Ruamahanga Environmental Award will be given to each of the schools to present to a student who “demonstrates principles of kaitiakitanga [guardianship] of their environment and demonstrates leadership skills in environmental conservation, restoration, or innovation within their school and community”.

The Trust commissioned Masterton ceramics artist Sam Ludden, himself a staunch environmental advocate, to make each of the 20 trophies: which feature a sculpted kōkopu

— a galaxiid fish once plentiful in Wairarapa — as the centrepiece.

With guidance from local iwi and mana whenua, Ludden also chose the whakatauki — which reflects the role rangatahi can play in safeguarding Wairarapa’s waterways, biodiversity, and natural heritage.

Trust co-founder Campbell McLean said the Ruamahanga Environmental Award helped cement environmental protection within the school curriculum in Wairarapa — and hoped it would inspire more students to “get involved and make a difference”.

“Young people are the future stewards of our land — we need to engage them while they’re young so we can pass the baton to the next generation,” McLean said.

“We can see young people are actually very concerned about what they’re seeing on the news.

They’re concerned about things like climate change, rising sea levels, carbon emissions and the loss of biodiversity.

“They have a greater awareness of these issues —

and it’s been really cool to see them and their teachers channel that into positive actions.

“This award creates more incentive for young people to spend time outdoors, connect with nature, and help find real-world solutions.”

McLean said the idea for the Trust arose from a conversation he had with fellow Rathkeale alumnus Chris Morrison while hiking through the Fiordland National Park — where they wondered what they could do to protect “the wellbeing of New Zealand’s indigenous flora and fauna for future generations”.

They decided to “start small” and focus on the Ruamahanga River, which had been “a huge part of life” at Rathkeale.

In 2019, alongside a group of other Rathkeale old boys, the men set up the Trust and began work on Schools Behind Our River, first engaging with Rathkeale and Opaki Schools.

The programme continued to grow and, with support from Trust House, Eastern & Central Community Trust, and the One Foundation, the

Trust has provided schools with “thousands of native seedlings”, water analysis and eDNA multispecies test kits, and tracking and trapping equipment to assist with predator control.

“There are a lot of teachers who are passionate about this work — but haven’t had access to the materials,” McLean said.

“During covid, so many extra resources are going towards relief teaching and remote learning. Teachers don’t have extra funds for plants and science kits.

“So, we can help relieve that burden, and make sure teachers have that support.”

The Trust is also assisting schools with significant projects to restore wetlands and native forests: for example, Rathkeale students are restoring two disused sewage-treatment ponds within the school’s Eco-Trail site.

Native planting around

the ponds will create a habitat for native birds and tributaries for marine life, such as tuna kuwharuwharu [long fin eel] and mudfish.

The Trust looked forward to the completion of the Ruamahanga Environmental Award — which can acknowledge a student’s work and service in media communications, data collection, trapping, planting, or volunteering work.

Ludden said the kōkopu as the centrepiece was particularly significant — as the fish has “many special characteristics”, including serving as an indicator of stream health.

“If we’re not finding these native species in our waterways, we need to ask ‘why?’ And ‘what can we do about it?’” he said.

“Our long-term aim is to see these taonga return to where they should be.”

A novel way to support people doing it tough this winter is gaining traction in Wairarapa.

Entries are flying in for the inaugural Glamour & Gumboots photo competition, which pairs photography and philanthropy.

Competition creators Charlotte Harding and Nicole Halliday were inspired by a Dowse Gallery exhibit that juxtaposed glamour and gumboots, but wanted to add an altruistic twist.

She said food banks in Wairarapa had been “doing it really hard” the past couple of years.

It was decided that the entry koha for the competition would be shared between Wairarapa’s four food banks -Martinborough, Featherston, Carterton, and Masterton.

Harding said a recent appeal by the Featherston food bank showed the need was high.

She said the competition would evolve and grow and hopefully become a regular feature in Wairarapa.

Competition entry closes at 8pm on July 31.

Works capture powerful images Erin Kavanagh-Hall

love being able to capture how we move in our public spaces. I think this ultimately shows how disconnected we are from nature in our urban environments — and from one another.”

Bunning, best known for her artistic portraiture, is one of the region’s most decorated photographers: winning several Iris Professional Photography Awards, including the supreme award of New Zealand Professional Photographer of the Year in 2020.

Similar to Slavick, her works submitted for the Parkin Prize explore some confronting themes: for example, “Cerebral, Unravel” delves into a close family member’s

erin.kavanagh-hall@age.co.nz

Three powerful images by two Wairarapa creatives have been shortlisted for one of New Zealand’s most prestigious art awards.

Carterton-based Madeleine Slavick and Greytown local Esther Bunning are both in the running for the 2022 Parkin Prize: New Zealand’s premier accolade for drawing, as well as one of the bestknown and most lucrative competitions for artists of all mediums.

Slavick and Bunning, both accomplished photographers, are among 76 selected finalists, chosen from a pool of 589 entrants — the largest number since the award’s inception.

The Parkin Prize, founded in 2013 by former politician, boutique hotelier and arts patron Chris Parkin comes with a substantial $25,000 cash prize.

All finalists’ artworks will be displayed at an exhibition at the Academy of Fine Arts in Wellington, opening on August 2.

In both their works, Slavick and Bunning explore topics which are “near and dear to [their] heart”.

Slavick’s photography, taken in Hong Kong at the height of the Chinese government’s Zero Covid policy, explores environmental degradation and the ravages of social isolation — while Bunning experiments with textile printing and screen projection to examine the taboo topics of dementia and childhood abuse.

Both artists said they feel “excited and honoured” to have been selected.

“I’m immensely proud of the work I submitted — and it feels really cool to have that recognition,” Bunning said.

“As a photographer, I’ve realised how important it is to provide a visual voice — particularly for

those who cannot speak for themselves.

“It’s been a privilege to tell people’s stories in a different way, and in a way people may not necessarily expect. So, I’m excited to show my work — especially in a national exhibition that has a great diversity of artists and mediums.”

Between them, Bunning and Slavick have many decades of experience in the artistic world: with their work having won multiple awards, published in various collections, and featured in exhibitions throughout the country — and beyond.

Slavick, also a citizen of the United States and Hong Kong, has authored several books of photography, nonfiction and poetry, and her photographs have been exhibited across Asia, Europe, and North America.

The photograph she submitted for the Parkin Prize, called “In Times Like These” will be featured in “Family Tree”, an exhibition curated by Slavick and her sisters, to be displayed in the US later this year.

The image captures a man and woman, wearing masks, passing one another — with no acknowledgement — on a Hong Kong street.

On an imposing concrete structure in the foreground, the roots of a banyan tree — revered in Hong Kong as a symbol of perseverance — travel down the wall, unnoticed by the passersby.

Slavick said the photo is a reflection of our current socio-political climate: the isolation of the covid pandemic, fractured gender relations, divisions along “political lines of right and left”, and the

marginalisation of nature.

“It looks like the tree roots are reaching down to the passersby to embrace them — but the people are completely oblivious,” Slavick said.

“To me, that’s an indication of what’s happening within society — and human inaction on solving our environmental crisis.

“In my photography, I

battle with dementia.

Bunning printed a photograph of raspberries — a nod to a favourite memory shared with her family — onto a 1.5m by 1.3m piece of silk — which will be suspended from the gallery ceiling for the exhibition.

She then made slashes in the fabric and stitched it back together with red cotton: representing the

unraveling of her family member’s condition, her love for them, and the brain’s struggle to retain fading memories.

“I wanted to break down the stereotypes of dementia. There’s a lot of stigma around the illness — it’s something people are afraid to talk about,” Bunning said.

“I wanted to show another side to it. I wanted to show the beauty and fragility of life, of connection, of memory.

The unravelling of the fabric and the thread shows how tenuous life really is.”

Her second work is part of her long-running collaboration with Whanganui-based artist Catherine Daniels — whose collection of sculptures explores her experiences of childhood sexual abuse and parental neglect.

Bunning photographed 40 of Daniels’ sculptures and published them in a book called “The Secret Keeper” — which received a rare perfect score at last year’s Iris Awards.

For the Parkin Prize, Bunning submitted “Pixelated Memories” — a blurred photograph of one of Daniels’ sculptures, inspired by her childhood Mickey Mouse doll.

At the exhibition, the photograph will be projected onto a wall — and viewers standing in front of the projection will see their shadow, wearing its own pair of Mickey Mouse ears, as part of the image.

“I wanted to create an immersive experience — inviting people into Catherine’s story and being able to gain an understanding of what she’s been through,” Bunning said.

“It’s exciting to create photography that goes beyond flat surfaces and can be integrated into our spaces.”

our whanau and create opportunities for them which have rarely been seen in Aotearoa.”

Collings became inspired to set up Puāwai Pūrau after attending NZQA’s Equity in STEM symposium in 2020 — where she met Naomi Manu, founder of the Pūhoro STEM Academy.

Pūhoro was first launched in 2016 to help create pathways for ākonga

Maori into STEM careers, and now works with more than 1000 students at 26 schools throughout Auckland, Hawke’s Bay, Manawatū, Kāpiti, and Christchurch.

At the time, Pūhoro was unable to run a programme in Wairarapa — so Collings decided to create her own.

Last year, she met with principals at heads of department at Chanel, Makoura and

Wairarapa Colleges and Te Kura Kaupapa Maori o Wairarapa, who were all “incredibly supportive” of Collings’ initiative.

Eight teachers from all four schools agreed to come on board as tutors — and will work alongside ākonga for two hours per week for the next 10 weeks.

Collings said a key part of the programme’s kaupapa is whanaungatanga — nurturing good

relationships between students and teachers.

“It’s about building connections and creating a positive environment.

We’re hopeful that, outside of the classroom, students will feel more comfortable asking questions and starting conversations,” she said.

“Plus, this shows rangatahi their teachers are prepared to show them

energy and aroha outside of the school walls.”

Collings said it was now more important than ever to help ākonga Maori engage with STEM. On account of the growing digital landscape, it is predicted that by 2030, the majority of jobs will require STEM capability.

“A lot of Maori tend to end up in factory-based mahi — and we’re seeing that robotics are beginning to replace human labour in these jobs.

“We want to get to a place where our whānau are not the ones replaced – instead, they’re the ones creating the robots and all the new machinery.

“We want rangatahi Maori, one of the fastest growing populations in Aotearoa, to be driving innovation in technology — which will be essential to our economy and will set us apart as leaders on the world stage.”

• The launch event for the Puāwai Pūrau Academy will be held on Thursday, July 21, at Masterton District Council, 161 Queen Street, at 6.30pm. For more information about the programme, or to register a student, email puawaistemacademy@ gmail.com .

A leap of faith Kevin Ball

Members of the Wainuioru Community River Care Group received the New Zealand Landcare Trust Catchment Group Award at the recent Ballance Farm Environment Awards.

PHOTO/NEW ZEALAND FARM ENVIRONMENT TRUST

River care recognised

A Wairarapa community has won the first New Zealand Landcare Trust Catchment Group Award for the Greater Wellington region.

The award was presented to the Wainuioru Community River Care Group at the Greater Wellington Ballance Farm Environment Awards ceremony, held at Carterton Events Centre on June 29.

The group has been active in the upper Wainuioru catchment, east of Masterton, for the past five years — striving to achieve “a healthier river and thriving community”.

A wide cross-section of the community is involved in the group,

which has been involved in monitoring water quality, carrying out extensive native planting and establishing a nativeplant nursery at Wainuioru School.

The Ballance Awards judging panel commended the group for “providing leadership around the careful management of natural resources”.

“This highly motivated group has great governance structure and support, with its work informed by a solid understanding of the catchment and its people,” the panel said.

“Their future focus is guided by clear goals and there’s an outstanding balance between action and strategy.”

The group has carried out water testing in the upper Wainuioru catchment, with help from environmental scientists, since its formation in 2017.

Test results indicate generally good water health.

With funding from the Jobs for Nature and One Billion Trees programmes, the group has successfully cleared old crack willows from more than 3km of waterways and planted 75,000 native seedlings — as well as many poplar and willow poles for land stabilisation.

The group plans to plant a further 85,000 seedlings this winter, and an additional 80,000 trees in 2023 — many of which are

sourced from Wainuioru’s own plant nursery.

Local farmers have also made significant contributions, by retiring land for native planting alongside waterways.

Government funding has enabled the group to employ a fulltime operations manager, part-time administration staff, an experienced land management consultant, as well as several contractors.

It also has expert support from Greater Wellington Regional Council and works closely with the Wairarapa Pūkaha to Kawakawa Alliance and its new Catchment Communities body.

Sharon Richards, an 80-year-old Masterton nurse recently decided to take a dive off New Zealand’s largest building, bungy jumping from the 53rd floor.

The self-proclaimed “crazy lady” said AJ Hackett, the New Zealander who developed the modern bungyjumping industry, often preached that we “should regularly do things that would scare the hell out of us” — and this was a philosophy she had taken up with considerable enthusiasm.

Auckland’s Sky Tower is not only New Zealand’s tallest skyscraper — at 193 metres, it’s the highest in the entire Southern Hemisphere.

Richards, when asked what she was doing up there, said “I don’t know. I like a challenge”.

She said fear wasn’t a factor — her safety equipment was checked 10 times before the jump and organisers clearly knew what they were doing.

“I chose to go off backwards,” she said.

“I went back and back until I thought I was close to the edge, then all of a sudden I was lifted up and out and was falling.”

members, including greatgreat granddaughter Tilly Marshall watched as the orange-clad Richards, hair flying, plunged earthwards at 85kmh.

Organisers called the jump “11 seconds of pure adrenaline”.

Because of Richard’s age, organisers allowed her to do the jump, which usually costs $225, for free.

Remember Arbor day, 1990

Congratulations to Frank Minehan for the article ‘Greytown’s own Arbor Day tradition’ [Midweek, July 6]. The contribution by our community, since 1890, to national Arbor Day activities is well worth acknowledging and celebrating.

However, an event not mentioned in the article was the centennial of Greytown Arbor Day — celebrated on July 3, 1990.

Initially, the significance of the proposed event was not fully appreciated by the new Greytown Community Board. Fortunately, there was great support by numerous individuals and groups, particularly the Greytown Lions Club. A local identity, Jack Bull, suggested a cairn be placed on the north side of State Highway 2 at the southern entrance to Greytown, and opposite the trees planted one hundred years earlier in 1890. As the site suggested was in the 100km area, it was vetoed by the then National Roading Authority for

safety reasons, and the cairn was subsequently installed in Arbor Reserve, on the left of the highway.

The cairn was constructed by members of the Lions Club, who prepared the specific site in the reserve, collected the required stones, and organised and laid the necessary concrete and the base on which the cairn stands.

Invited dignitaries included the Minister of Conservation, Philip Woollaston, who had arrived in Auckland at about 5.00am from a conference in London. He unveiled the plaque set in the cairn to commemorate the day and planted a golden totara to mark the launching of Tu Kakariki — the New Zealand Tree Programme. Also in attendance were Dr Theodore Jabbs, Cultural Attaché from the United States Embassy; Wairarapa MP Wyatt Creech; John Garrity, the first Mayor of the new South Wairarapa district; Grant Maranui

representing the Papawai community; and Jack Bull.

Numerous trees were planted in Arbor Reserve and in O’Connor’s Bush at Soldiers Memorial Park.

A ‘Grand Fashionable Centennial Concert’ ended the day.

Subsequently, there was very good coverage of the events of Arbor Day 1990 produced in The Chronicle, a Featherston-based paper on Friday, July

13. A fascinating aspect of the process preceding the event was a decision made by the National Roading Authority to shift SH2 one metre away from the trees planted in 1890. This was because there had been several incidents of southbound vehicles colliding with and damaging the first six historic trees.

“Woah, Livin’ On A Prayer”!

No, it’s not Bon Jovi we’re writing about this week (but I’m sure a few of you now have the song in your head). This week we’re going to remind you about some important tasks that need to be done because we’re already halfway through winter!

TIME IS RUNNING OUT!

TEND TO THE ROSES

Spring will be here before we know it and deciduous trees will emerge from their dormant state and start actively growing. This means you shouldn’t wait any longer to do a winter clean up spray on roses and some fruiting & ornamental deciduous trees.

We recommend spraying trees with a mixture of Grosafe Spraying Oil & FreeFlo Copper to prevent downy & powdery mildew, bacterial spots & blight, shot hole, leaf curl, aphids, thrips, scale, white ˜ y, mites and much more.

Lime Sulphur can also be used to control insect eggs, fungal spores, moss & lichen on some plants but BEWARE! This cannot be used at the same time as copper or oil.

• Feed camellias with˝ Yates˝Thrive Azalea, Camellia and Rhododendron˝food after they ÿ nish blooming. Any trimming should be done at this time.

• Moss can be a problem in poorly drained or shady areas of lawn. Improve lawn drainage by˝spiking˝the area thoroughly˝with a fork,˝and apply Sulphate of Iron to kill moss.

ADD MORE WINTER COLOUR Adding fresh new plants to the garden, or ÿ lling more pots to place around your home, is a great way to get a mid-winter ‘boost’.

HELLEBORES

Winter roses are ideal for providing masses of colour in a shady winter garden. Plant a selection under deciduous trees, in pots, or in places that receive ÿ ltered light.

START GROWING YOUR CHRISTMAS FEAST Make your Christmas Dinner even more special this year by growing healthy home-grown produce.

Imagine a pavlova covered with sweet and juicy strawberries; new season spuds with a hint of mint; and delicious freshly picked peas (if you can stop yourself from eating them straight from the pod of course).

DAPHNES

These would have to be one of the most popular winter shrubs and it’s no wonder because they look and smell incredible. We have pink or white in di° erent sizes – including some standards.

CYCLAMENS

These are wonderful for adding vivid colour & lovely fragrance to winter gardens or pots. We have 3 for $15 so why not buy a few for indoors and out.

STRAWBERRIES The cost, risk of low (or no) supply and succulent taste, are just some reasons why you should grow your own strawberries this year.

Trial helps labour shortage

Carterton

George Shiers The nationwide labour shortage is causing headaches for businesses across all industries — and a new trial is underway in Wairarapa to help plug the gap.

The Employers and Manufacturers Association revealed in its survey results, released on July 12, that the current labour shortage was having a tough effect on business across New Zealand.

Of the businesses that responded to the survey, 100 per cent of employers said they were struggling to fill vacancies, with almost 40 per cent advertising for more than six months.

The survey received responses from businesses in more than 50 sectors and industries, including manufacturing, transport, and health.

JNL’s Wairarapa mill, based at Waignawa, was expecting to begin a trial to bring in more staff on unconventional part-time contracts.

The project involved JNL partnering with the Ministry of Social Development [MSD].

New part-time contracts aimed at attracting those with school-aged children are being trialled at the JNL mill.

Wairarapa mill general manager Karl Burling said the project hoped to attract workers who wanted to work but could

not fit in with traditional working schedules.

“Speaking with MSD, they believe there are a number of people who want to work but are unable,” Burling said.

“The biggest challenge is for workers with children – with school holidays and working between school hours.

“The trial would allow the company to hire people from 9am to 3pm

and would provide school holidays off.”

Burling said drawing up the contracts had been challenging but was glad to see the trial going ahead.

“We’ve had a very positive response from staff and from the community.

“Unless you think differently about employment, nothing is going to change. People who want to work but can’t

now have an option.”

Burling said depending on its success in Wairarapa, the initiative could be rolled out nationwide.

Shannon Meynell, manager for client service delivery at MSD, said the flexible structure would allow people to transition into employment.

“Our Wairarapa Work and Income team met with JNL to discuss how we could work together to support our clients who cannot work standard hours, primarily with a focus on sole parents.

“JNL were very keen to come on board with this initiative. They created 9am to 3pm shifts with the ability for people to take time off for school holidays to support our clients into employment.

“We’re really excited that JNL has responded with flexibility to enable employment.”

Meynell said MSD was hoping to work with other businesses in the region to widen the scope of the trial.

“We hope other employers see what JNL is doing and how well it is working — and encourage them to work with us in finding staff and offering similar work arrangements.”

Liz coming home to Roseneath Working at Roseneath Lifecare & Village was “a homecoming” for long-time Wairarapa local Liz Mather.

Liz, who was born “just up the road” from the Carterton retirement community, took over as Roseneath’s manager in May. “From the first day I entered the front door, it felt like home,” she said.

Liz’s family association with Wairarapa goes back to her great-great-

grandfather, Henry Burling, who was the first person to enter the region by foot from Wellington.

Her early years were spent on a farm at the Taratahi Training Centre in rural Carterton, where her father worked, and then on a farm east of Eketahuna.

Prior to Liz’s role at Roseneath, she worked as a business operations manager in the public sector and managed several other retirement facilities.

She said she particularly enjoys the “very special” homely and friendly atmosphere at Roseneath and working alongside a team of “very experienced staff, who truly care for the residents’ wellbeing”.

“I love the difference I can make to a residents’ life: listening to their stories, seeing the pleasure they get in joining in with recreational activities, and the special care they receive from our staff.”

12 Wairarapa Midweek Opinion Wednesday, July 20, 2022 EDITORIAL

‘Tough on crime’ misses the point Young(ish), scrappy & hungry

Opinion

Erin Kavanagh-Hall whipped out the “tough on crime” hymn sheet to entice voters, and the Government needs to win back the affection of “middle New Zealand”.

The experts tend to agree. Dr Jarrod Gilbert, Canterbury University sociologist and decorated crime researcher, praised the Government for its measured and “welltargeted” approach to the issue — certainly preferable to Christopher Luxon’s idea to ban gang insignia and gatherings. “[But] make no bones about it,” Gilbert wrote in The Herald. “The gang proposals are a political response to a problem the Government feared was doing them damage”.

As Gilbert notes in the same editorial, we’ve seen it all before. In the

Gangs are back in the headlines. Must be an election coming up.

I’m a bit jaded, Wairarapa. Hear me out.

Last week, the Government announced a suite of new measures to “reduce the harm caused by gangs and make communities safer”.

The new rules are designed to “hit gangs where it hurts”: prohibiting cash payments for luxury items, expanding vehicle impounding regimes, more search and seizure powers for police, and harsher penalties for drive-by shootings.

Sounds good on paper.

But some have theorised this is merely a cynical ploy: Labour’s poll numbers are drooping, the Opposition has

mid-90s, the Labour Opposition campaigned on a platform of reducing gangrelated crime— which the late Mike Moore called “a time bomb lodged against the heart of the nation”.

Leading up to the 1996 election, Jim Bolger’s National Government introduced a tranche of new laws to combat gang activity. Many of these, Gilbert said, were not based on clear evidence — and “failed miserably”.

Time will tell if the most recent solutions will bear any fruit. But as Auckland youth worker Aaron Hendry wrote for Stuff, the “tough on crime” rhetoric obscures the real question: “how do we prevent crime from occurring in the first place?”

Gangs, Hendry says, do not exist in a vacuum.

We know poverty and crime live side by side.

And, where poverty is concerned, Aotearoa has a pretty shameful rap sheet.

Organised crime, by

PHOTO/GETTY IMAGES

contrast, promises a life of bling and riches. Young people living below the breadline want in.

These young people, Hendry continues, are excluded by their communities, abandoned by the state, and shunted to the margins of society.

In gangs, they find family.

They find “a crew that’ll be there for them when they’re denied a food grant at Work and Income… when they’re on the streets and refused emergency housing.”

Hendry also points out that harsher prison terms aren’t going to cut it — as the justice system is often “ill-equipped for rehabilitation or healing”.

On that note, are our

politicians prepared to have a conversation about drug reform and effective harm reduction? So rangatahi Maori [disportionately incarcerated for minor drug offences] are not funnelled through the prison system — a breeding ground for gang recruitment?

If our elected representatives want to prevent crime, that means addressing the root cause.

That means more than making heavyhanded promises to their comfortable, middleclass voters. It means investing in communities, eradicating poverty, fixing the housing crisis, and expanding social safety nets. Doing more than the bare minimum to ensure all whānau are fed, clothed, sheltered and educated.

It’s time for our MPs, on both sides of the aisle, to ditch the shameless politicking, catchy sound bites, and cynical power grabs — and do what we pay them for. Some real work.

Greytown School auction a success When Greytown School’s deputy principal Neil Preston was approached by the organisers of the Greytown Midwinter Christmas Festival, he brainstormed various ideas to involve the school.

At first, he decided an exhibition of students’ art would be a good idea.

However, when he and the organising group thought about the numbers of artists and art lovers who live in and near Greytown, the idea morphed into an art auction. “I didn’t have to do much shoulder tapping,” Preston says. “I talked to Becky Bateman and Josepha Murray, parents of children atthe

school, and they gave me some contacts. It just grew from there. Word seemed to get out and we had people contacting us. Artists knew that the works were on commission but some still donated a piece. It finally resulted in an exhibition of about 70 pieces from 45 different artists.”

Meantime, the idea of a student art exhibition was not abandoned.

“The involvement of the school was to me just as important as the auction,” Preston says. “Our ākonga [students] spent some time researching various artists and their techniques and making art in that

PHOTO/SUPPLIED

style. One class studied Hundertwasser and another our local artist Sandra Wong.”

“On the day before the auction, teachers displayed the students’ art in classrooms. Families could come in that Friday to see the works and make a koha for their child’s piece if they

wanted to. Not only was art being taught, but also the different ways we value people’s art work.”

“The kaupapa of the art action was ultimately about us connecting with the school and the wider community,” Greytown School principal Paula Weston said. “Covid

removed so many opportunities to come together. So we wanted to do something that invited people in to be part of us again.”

Preston credits the success to community help and effort. Under the hammer of Property Brokers’ Benn Milne, most works were sold at above reserve prices, with goodnatured banter from the crowd accompanying the auction battles, raising a sizeable amount of money for the school’s new junior playground.

Greytown School’s auction was not the only opportunity to attend an art auction this year. Aratoi will hold two art auction events in November: on November 4, Little Jewels will, for the first time, take the form of a silent auction. On November 8, the winetasting event Palette to Palate will be accompanied by an auction of works from three or four prestigious Wairarapa artists.

International trio returns to Greytown This weekend, after a long absence, the Levansa Trio will be returning to play in Wairarapa.

The trio, comprised of violinist Andrew Beer, cellist Lev Sivkov, and pianist Sarah Watkins, will be embarking on a New Zealand tour, starting with a concert in Greytown on Saturday afternoon.

The Levansa trio first came together as an ensemble in 2019, while Sivkov, based in Switzerland, was visiting New Zealand to play solo concerts.

It was clear from the beginning that this international collaboration between an Aucklandbased Canadian, a Russian and a Kiwi had great potential, and that the three musicians felt a spontaneous affinity as chamber music partners.

The performances that emerged during their first series of recitals [including one in Greytown] reflected their enjoyment and

The Levansa Trio: Andrew Beer [left], Sarah Watkins, and Lev Sivkov. satisfaction in making music together.

The trio agreed to continue playing together — but the covid pandemic intervened.

However, the musicians made the best of the situation: despite being on opposite sides of the world, Beer and Sivkov performed together online and even made recordings of violin

and cello duets by Russian composer Reinhold Glière.

Beer and Watkins, who were both named as New Zealand Classical Artists of the Year in 2020, also played together on social media — with a guest appearance from Watkins’ cat.

The Greytown concert, organised by the Greytown Music Group, will feature

The major work for the programme will be the epic Piano Trio in A Minor by Pyotr Tchaikovsky.

didn’t blend well together, the death of close friend Nikolai Rubinstein, who had composed five piano trios, changed his mind.

Tchaikovsky resolved to commemorate Rubinstein by writing a piano part so virtuosic it would have been worthy of his keyboard prowess.

Pianist Watkins said the trio was “looking forward to putting the band together” after several years apart.

“We’ll have an intense period of rehearsals before our first concert in Greytown,” she said.

“We feel that the rapport we felt the first time around will carry us through.”

• The Levansa trio will play on Saturday, July 23, at 57 Wood Street, Greytown, starting at 4pm. Admission is $30 for adults, $10 for children. Bookings are essential — contact Ed and Juliet Cooke on 06 304 9497, or efjacooke@gmail.com, to book a space.

Chief Executive’s message The next local body election is on the way and with it, certain rules. Some of them revolve around campaigning and publicity, which is why the Mayor’s column is mine until the election on 8 October. Nominations opened on 15 July for anyone wishing to stand for Council or our three community boards.

We’re really keen to see a diverse range of people passionate about their communities come on board.

If you are wondering what sort of skills and qualities a candidate needs to have, or have other questions, please go to the election page on our website. You’ll find a candidate’s handbook, answers to frequently asked questions and the forms you need. Nominations close on August 12 and will be announced a week later.

JULY UPDATE

The election itself will be held by postal vote between 16 September and 8 October. Whether you’re a resident or a property owner here who lives outside the district, you are entitled to your vote, and we will be reminding you in

Featherston Master Plan

the coming months how to check you are enrolled. You may already have forms in the mail asking you to update any changes to your details from the Parliamentary roll.

Finally, there have been many hefty decisions made by Council recently, including our submission on Three Waters and solutions for Hinekura Road. Our submission on Three Waters will be on the Parliamentary website – please read it to understand the finer points on how this may affect our district. And you can read about Hinekura Road below.

Keep warm and well.

Harry Wilson CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

Hinekura Road

Our planners will be consulting later this month with the Featherston community on two concept options for the town’s Master Plan. Over the next 30 years, Featherston is expected to be a popular place, particularly because of its proximity to the train.

Future development must consider how we allow for more housing and infrastructure while retaining the town’s character and feel.

One option will focus on housing intensification around the station and main street. The other proposes moving the train station closer to town to rejuvenate and intensify the main street. Both concepts have their pros and cons.

Our Featherston Master Plan Discussion Document comes out on 22 July. You’ll find it at the libraries or on our website, and a flyer will be emailed to Featherston residents who have joined our database. We want your feedback, which you can give via a survey on our website, by emailing or writing to us, and at drop-in sessions due to be announced soon.

On July 14 the Council agreed to allocate funding to help residents in the Hinekura area who have lost their main access route to Martinborough due to a large landslide on 14 June.

Meeting agendas are available for inspection at least two days before the meeting at the district libraries, Council offices and at www. swdc.govt.nz.

The landslide was 80 metres wide and destroyed over 500m of Hinekura Road, and is still considered active. With the old section of road deemed unable to be fixed, the Council has begun planning a new road, and has allocated up to $500,000 towards the design work .

Public participation is welcome. If you wish to speak during the public participation session at any of the below meetings, please phone 06 306 9611 at least 24 hours prior to the meeting or email enquiries@swdc.govt.nz.

Up to $200,000 was also allocated towards maintaining the residents’ alternative route, Admiral Road, and a contribution of up to $100,000 towards supporting a community initiative to create a temporary farm track.

Please email enquiries@swdc.govt.nz to join our database.

The temporary track is on private land and would be suitable for 4WD and light vehicles. It would provide emergency access to Martinborough should the Admiral Road route be closed.

The results of this feedback will contribute to a draft Master Plan and hearings later this year, with adoption and implementation expected early next year.

Waka Kotahi has approved an initial application for $200,000 to help with design costs, and further applications will be made once the costs of the new road are firmed up.

The Admiral Road access has added considerable time to the commute of Hinekura residents, affecting at least around 30 households and 10 school students, plus business-related traffic and farm staff.

The Council had previously launched a $20,000 Hinekura Road Relief Fund to support these residents as they prepare for a number of months of disruption. The fund, launched on 29 June and administered by the Rural Support Trust, will help with accommodation, transport and other immediate costs.

Firstly, the Greytown Menz Shed, which rents Council premises, recently raised $4,000 to send to relief agencies in the Ukraine. Ka pai! We’d also like to introduce to you the Wairarapa branch of the Good Bitches Baking group.

GBB, as it’s called, bakes goodies to cheer up many organisations, from Women’s Refuge and foodbanks to community groups. At least once a week, Featherston GBB volunteer Tracey Cassells (pictured) drops goodies down to people like Featherston Foodbank’s Erin McBride.

GBB needs more drivers and bakers – will you help?

Contact Eve at GBB Wairarapa on Facebook. And finally, a shout-out to the ever-active Greytown Lions for painting the timber rails outside the Soldiers’ Park Memorial Pool – they look great!

Two appointed in civic facility working group Emily Ireland

An independent chair and an independent community representative for Masterton District Council’s Civic Facility Working Group have been appointed.

This follows a 6-4 council decision at the end of last month to disestablish the Civic Facility Project Committee and establish the working group.

The working group would supervise the civic facility work programme until the local government elections in October.

Ian Collier, JP, has been named as chair, and Rachael Dean, MNZM, as an independent community representative, with a second representative yet to be appointed.

Two iwi representatives would also be appointed shortly.

Ian Collier, former regional affairs manager for Air New Zealand, has held several senior

management positions across a number of industries and is now focused on governance and contract roles within regional development, community-based projects, and leadership coaching.

He is currently a member of the Hood Strategic Advisory Group.

Rachael Dean – current independent chair of the Audit and Risk Committee for Westland District Council – is a governance, finance, risk, and management specialist who brings with her extensive board and governance experience.

She became a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services

to governance and the community.

Both have residences in Masterton.

Masterton District Council chief executive David Hopman said the working group would review the rationale for the progression of the project from 2016 to the current state so the new council could make informed decisions about the next steps.

The inaugural meeting of the Civic Facility Working Group will take place following the confirmation of the second independent member.

Community wellbeing is all about having an inclusive and selfdetermining community that values tangata whenua, has a clean environment to enjoy and a strong economy backing it all up. We’re looking for organisations that are taking an active role in building our future and improving our community’s wellbeing.

we promote and support a lowemission transition in the rural sector by removing local barriers to action.

A total of 118 climate actions are proposed for community consultation, across nine theme areas: y Coordinated Regional Approach – how we take a

coordinated and strategic approach to climate change in the Greater Wellington region.

y Transport – how we move around the district

using less climate-harming emissions.

y Energy/Electricity – how we power our homes

and businesses through renewable energy.

y Water – how we adapt to increasing severe

floods, droughts, storms, and changes in precipitation rates.

y Waste and Circular Economy – how we reduce

our consumption and repurpose old items.

y Built Environment – how we design and retrofit

for low-emission construction and create infrastructure that is resilient to climate impacts.

y Community Empowerment – how

we ensure our plan does not increase current inequities in our district but helps build a more resilient and fair community.

Submissions can be made through the council website, in writing, or by phone – and can focus on the plan generally, the nine theme areas, or particular actions.

The toilet is open 8am-5pm in winter, with hours extended to 7am to 7pm in summer.

More toilets in the area are on the way, with the youth hub coming to the skatepark this year also including accessible facilities.

COUNCIL MEETINGS The meetings of the Council and its committees for the coming month are listed below.

Members of the public are welcome to attend these meetings. Please note, seating numbers are restricted in council chambers due to COVID-19 protocols. The meetings will also be accessible to the public via the livestream on the Masterton District Council Facebook page.

Opportunity for Public Comment At the beginning of some meetings, a period is available for those who wish to speak or comment on any matter relevant to the meeting in question. Requests to speak at a meeting should be made to Harriet Kennedy, Governance Advisor, phone 370 6300 or email mdc@mstn.govt.nz at least one clear day before the meeting.

actually beneficial to us, particularly around building long-term memories, as many now believe that we no longer need to have knowledge, we can simply access whatever we need to know by using our phones.

I’ll use the analogy of getting healthy to live a longer and more satisfying life to counter the benefits of having out knowledge outsourced to our phones.

When I go out for a run I could in fact drive my car over the same route.

It would definitely take a lot less time [so maybe I could spend the free time on my phone scrolling through social media], but there would be no health benefit, and I definitely wouldn’t have the wonderful ‘runners high’ afterwards. The same applies to building knowledge; I strongly believe that actually learning things increases our capacity to learn more, whereas choosing instead to leave the knowledge up to the likes of Google will lead to us losing the ability to think, plan and create, essentially making us dumber.

The device that makes us less smart

A really interesting article in The Guardian weekend podcast looked at the question ‘are smartphones ruining our memories?’.

The author looked at a range of research and seemed to come to the conclusion that the overuse of smartphones is definitely detrimental to our capacity to remember things. They [smartphones] also remove the necessity to do so much that is

Standing up for people and beliefs

I heard a fascinating interview with a much maligned person in which he speaks up for another person when so many others didn’t, even though there would have been many who shared the same view and opinion.

To me this is an example of integrity that is of the highest order, and there would have been others in history who have done the same thing at a time in which speaking up put themselves in real peril.

Take, for example, scientists who spoke out about what we now know is true, but was opposed to the beliefs of the church. This took such bravery and had they not, then we may not have made the progress we have as a civilisation.

Do something for motivation

Just over an hour ago I was lying on the couch feeling really lethargic and generally not that great. I had just eaten too much and what I had eaten wasn’t particularly healthy.

There was also a feeling of disorganisation

around me, and I was just aimlessly flicking through Facebook and YouTube, looking for what, I’m not really sure. I did think about searching for something motivational I could write about for this post.

Taking some of the advice I have shared many times, I decided to set an alarm for 10 minutes, then to spend this time doing a tidy up and organising a few things. I did this, but when my alarm went off I kept going. In the hour just gone I: • Tidied the kitchen; • Organised the recycling; • Drank a healthy smoothie; • Walked my dog; • Sorted out my workout clothes for tomorrow morning; • Emptied my work bag; • Cut some kindling; • Filled the firewood basket.

Now I’m writing this post with a sense of satisfaction and positivity.

My post is about what I have done, as opposed to something I have seen on YouTube or Facebook.

Taking action really does have a hugely positive

impact on us, we just need to snap out of our lethargy and do something.

Get Started!

I heard a phrase shared by Ali Abdaal on his podcast, this being ‘get going, get good, get smart’.

This is advice to help us become more successful in achieving our goals and dreams. Essentially the phrase is about just starting [get going], as opposed to putting things off until everything is perfectly aligned to create the ideal situation to begin. Chances are that things will never be perfect, so we need to get going now.

Once we do get going we’ll start to gain more experience just by doing the thing we want to go. This will help us to achieve the second part of the phrase to ‘get good’.

Finally, we’ll ‘get smart’ by tinkering and making changes, which will lead us to becoming better and better, with a cycle of continual improvement.

Ultimately, the most important thing is to get the momentum going just by starting. This will take us on the pathway to success provided we apply what we learn to be the best we can be at whatever we’re aiming to do.

Be grateful for what you have and once longed for.

I love the Ricky Gervais series Extras. It’s about Andy, an aspiring actor who spends almost all of his time playing small parts as an ‘extra’, those

anonymous background roles that are important for the show, but no one really notices.

Eventually Andy does get a leading role, something he has always wanted, but soon enough this isn’t good enough; he wants more important and respected parts that will give him a feeling of being a serious actor.

This leads to him selfsabotaging, and he loses what he once wanted so much.

The point I am wanting to make with Andy’s example is that we need to give ourselves the opportunity to be satisfied. Too often the things we once so desired and now have are taken for granted, leading to us wanting more and never being truly satisfied. We really do need to ‘stop and smell the roses’ every once in a while, to truly appreciate the many good things we have, the very things that we once desired so much, but are no longer grateful for.

How to think about a new challenge

I heard this on an interview with fitness coach Bevan James Eyles.

It’s about a thinking strategy to use when facing a fitness challenge or goal called ‘how you will think about it afterwards thinking’.

Essentially this is exactly what it seems; when thinking about going to the gym, before a session, it really can be daunting and we’ll convince ourselves of so many reasons as to why we don’t need to go.

However, a better option is to think about how you will feel about your workout – afterwards; the answer is sure to be a positive one.

We all feel better after exercise, so if we can look just a short time into the future we may be able to convince ourselves to put on our workout clothes and head to the gym!

Senior Citizens and Beneficiaries Association

Club which offers a warm welcome and a laugh Each Tuesday afternoon, a small group of people meet at 12 Cole Street, Masterton – better known as the Senior Citizen’s Hall – to play indoor bowls and play cards. They then catch up over a cup of tea and biscuits. For many, this is a valuable social fix.

The Masterton Senior Citizens and Beneficiaries Club organises the Tuesday games from 1pm – 3pm to give people a reason to get out of the house and enjoy time with others.

Club member Nolene Hall said she had lived alone for more than 20 years – and looked forward to the weekly outing. “It’s a fun time getting together and having a laugh,” she said.

Fellow club member Silvia Taukeiaho agreed. “Instead of sitting at home, we can get out and be among people. It’s important when you live alone” But it’s not just Tuesdays that the Club offers activities and camaraderie. The clubrooms are open every weekday and are home to a range of activities – from exercise classes and line dancing to crafts and knitting. “If we didn’t have them, we would have had to close,” club secretary Ngaire Walker said.

Ngaire initially joined the club to meet other people, and although its initial purpose was to assist elderly members of the community, the Club’s doors were open to everyone. “Anybody is welcome. We will take on anyone that wants to learn to play cards and bowls.

Some of our members are a force to be reckoned with, and can be highly competitive,” she laughs.

While Covid impacted people’s willingness to engage in social activities, the club is now re-encouraging non-members to participate in the Tuesday sessions as an introduction to the Club.

People pay a small fee of $3, which covers afternoon tea and a raffle. On the last Tuesday of each month, the club holds a luncheon which attracts more visitors – and profit goes straight back into the club. Last year, funds were used to install heaters at the clubrooms, worth $15,000, a much welcome addition during these winter days.

And, if you are looking for a warm and welcoming environment to hold an event – look no further than the Senior Citizen’s Hall. Contact Ngaire on 06 377 0342 or email ngaire.walker@xtra.co.nz

The Kandahar Village community centre is under construction now Residents at Kandahar Retirement Village will soon have plenty of room for social events and activities, with the construction of a highly anticipated community centre.

Work is underway on the community centre that will be home to a range of activities such as crafts, games, village functions, and meetings.

Building bridges — Waipoua works starts George Shiers

george.shiers@age.co.nz

Construction on a new bridge over Waipoua River will begin this week, providing pedestrian and cycle access to Oxford St Reserve from the south side of the river.

Masterton District Council [MDC] approved the construction of the bridge in a meeting in August 2020 and gave the project a budget of $485,000.

The bridge had an estimated build time of four to five weeks.

The bridge would be lined by 50 pou

commissioned by six local Maori artists that would tell stories representing the past, present and future of the Waipoua River.

Council manager community facilities and activities Corin Haines said an average of 1500 people a month use the Akura Rd trail on the south side of the river and the design of the bridge aimed to maximise accessibility, with ramps at each end and a 100-person capacity.

“Walkers and cyclists will begin to notice preparations for the start of work, and there will be fenced-off areas during

construction which we would ask people to respect.

“The bridge will really add to our recreational trail network, and there are plans to in due course extend the trail on the north side of the river from the Colin Pugh Sports Bowl up to the Oxford St Reserve.”

MDC has said there may be restricted or limited access at the building sites on Bentley St and Oxford St during construction and has asked people to be patient while work is carried out.

Kandahar Village coordinator Sharon Brown says such facilities are a major drawcard and many of the Kandahar Village residents are eagerly anticipating its completion.

“This recreation centre will be an asset to the Kandahar Home and Village family and the wider community.

Village coordinator Sharon Brown, stands outside the Kandahar Village Community Centre under construction now.

“It will bring a lot of joy to the residents, and I feel they will be very proud to have it in their village and will utilise it a lot.”

and provide immense pleasure to a lot of people.

The residents at the village are a social bunch and the new community centre will give them the space to get together and share skills and interests.

Kandahar Village is being developed in five stages, with stage three villas on sale now.

It will also feature a BBQ area and an outdoor vegetable and herb garden, which the village’s many skilled gardeners will help to plant and grow.

The villas have independent Lifemark 4 accreditation which means they have been designed to be usable by people over their lifetime without the need for major adaptions.

The new centre won’t just benefit the residents, as there will be occasions when the wider community will be invited to join residents in using it.

Sharon says it will get plenty of use

Ākonga try waste reduction George Hewitt

Lifestyle

Pūkaha National Wildlife Centre

Students studying UCOL’s New Zealand Certificate in Conservation Level 4 course in Masterton were left inspired and motivated to do their bit to protect Papatūānuku [the land /Earthmother] after a recent presentation

by Sam Te Tau of Para Kore at Pūkaha National Wildlife Centre.

Para Kore empowers and supports marae and organisations across Aotearoa to reduce waste through the delivery of innovative education and support within the frameworks of kaupapa and tikanga Māori.

The mahi [work] that Para Kore gave the students some perspective to understand some of the key principles of their Conservation course such as a kaitiakitanga [guardianship] over the Taiao [natural world and resources].

Sam shared his love for the Taiao with the students and his desire for it not to be harmed.

The powerful point that we only have one world was reiterated across the room.

Sam Te Tau presents to students at Pūkaha National Wildlife Centre.

Sam, pointing out the window towards a Takahē aviary dotted with native tree species of all varieties said Pūkaha was the perfect example.

Pūkaha is a protected reserve but due to human inhabitancy is the last surviving 942 hectares of the ancient Seventy Mile Bush that once stretched from Masterton to the central Hawkes Bay area on New Zealand’s North Island.

The rare manu [birds] and ngāi tipu [flora] that once sung and populated this ngahare need to be

preserved and protected.

A polluted Papatūānuku [earth mother] with waste being dispersed in landfills, around soils and waterways has a huge impact on the life of our manu and critters.

“Some scientists have found that chemicals from plastic can leech into the bloodstream of animals and harm them if we dispose of them in waterways or landfills.” says Sam Sam thinks a place like “Pūkaha is a gem and if we can replicate ngahere like this everywhere, restoring

PHOTO/SUPPLIED

our environment to its natural order, so both people and the animals that call it home can thrive.”

“So, what can you do from a waste management perspective to protect our environment?” Sam asked the students.

• Think about how we consume • Think about what we purchase • Support local produce and product • Reuse containers • Buy goods from bulk stores.

The UCOL ākonga,

love attending classes at Pūkaha, with their passion for conservation of New Zealand ‘s ngahere evident when you talk to them. They are akoranga [learning] some great skills throughout this conservation course that we would all benefit from understanding.

• The Wairarapa Midweek has partnered with conservation groups to put a spotlight on work on conservation efforts locally.

Federat ed Farme rs With sweeping changes facing local government, and the very existence of some councils under threat, Federated Farmers is urging rural New Zealanders to step up their interest in the election campaign this year.

“The Three Waters juggernaut is gathering steam despite a great deal of opposition,” Feds President Andrew Hoggard said. “Unchanged, it will put control of critical infrastructure in the hands of unelected and hard to hold to account entities, likely headquartered far away from rural New Zealand.”

This, plus moves for district planning functions to be regionalised, will leave some provincial councils with little left to do, “and thus ripe for forced amalgamations, given the review of the future of local government doesn’t wind up until next year,” Andrew said.

Local body elections happen again in September-October and Federated Farmers has just released its 2022 Local Elections Platform.

It’s on the Federated Farmers’ website and sets out the federation’s

DairyNZ Update Milk pickups are commencing again for spring calving herds with high quality milk incentivised. Milk quality for the whole lactation may depend on the success of mastitis control at calving. Two weeks either side of calving is when a cow is most likely to get mastitis. Ensure all staff on farm are vigilant with your farm’s milk quality procedures.

Identify clinical signs early like hot, swollen quarters when doing your springer mob checks and strip cows by hand at their 1st milking to identify clots or discoloured milk. The Rapid Mastitis Test (RMT) paddle is simple to use and still the easiest way to screen cows at the end of the colostrum period or in the mastitis mob before they enter the main milking herd. Ensuring only clean low SCC cows enter the milking mob will keep the Bulk Tank SCC low, reduce infecting other cows and is much easier than having to find a problem in the milkers, saving you both time and money later!

DairyNZ’s Healthy Udder programme provides practical advice on Prevention, Finding and Treating mastitis during the different stages of the season.

simple and important can easily be lost.”

Federated Farmers asks rural leaders with commitment, practical common sense and energy to consider standing for election, and all residents to put searching questions to those who would represent them in local government.

“Be daring! Talk up core services, talk down wasteful, feel-good expenditure and big rates increases, and support our farmers in these challenging times. Most of all fight for the right of local communities to decide on how their local democracy functions, not Wellington,” Andrew said.

position on the major issues swirling around local government, with questions and advice for voters and candidates.

“Amidst this uncertainty, communities will need sound, level-headed representation like never before, as their councils navigate this once-in-a-generation change and fight for local accountability,” Andrew said.

“There are the basics too. Our need for safe and sustainable rural roads, smart rating systems, and common-sense regulation are enduring. Such things are essential to the wellbeing of the farming community; in times of great change matters
