Kuranui levels up Erin Kavanagh-Hall

For a group of young Wairarapa sporting stars, the virtual realm — with its array of fantastical characters — is an ideal backdrop for a strategic battle of concentration, dexterity and problem-solving.

Two teams from Kuranui College have qualified for the regional finals of this year’s National

Secondary School E-Sports League Championship — with the first “elimination matches” kicking off this week.

This year’s tournament, hosted by New Zealand E-Sports platforms Victory Up and The Shadownet, has attracted over 1500 students from around the country: Competing in various well-known gaming titles, from futuristic first-person shooters to arcade-style vehicular soccer.

Over the next two weeks, 85 teams will duke it out in the regional championships — with the top

two from each region earning a place in the live national final, held in Auckland in September.

To qualify for the regional finals, teams competed in a series of pool matches, with the top four advancing to the next round.

The competition has been “a wild ride” for Kuranui’s two gaming crews — called GIK and JIK — who entered the tournament for the first time this year.

Playing Valorant, a

tactical shooter game featuring avatars with “unique abilities”, GIK and JIK faced off against schools with significantly more experience — eventually finishing second and fourth in their pools.

Team coach and manager Mike Anderson said he was delighted with the students’ performance in the midst of “a tough competition”.

“We weren’t expecting too much from our first year in the competition, so we were

thrilled to make it this far,” Anderson said.

“Watching some of the gameplay from the other teams is pretty intimidating — some of the schools have some excellent players and a lot more practice playing together.

“But our players have put in the work, pulled together as a team and come away with some great results.

“The regionals will be tough — but we reckon we’re in with a shot of making the finals.

We’ll give it a bash.”

Anderson said Kuranui College has been

Support needed for Bounders Erin Kavanagh-Hall

erin.kavanagh-hall@age.co.nz

Kyleigh Cork still recalls the most important lesson she learned from Outward Bound as a teenager: you can always step past your comfort zone.

In 2015, Kyleigh, then a student at the Wairarapa Teen Parent Unit, received a scholarship to attend a course run by the Outward Bound Trust — designed to help young people realise their potential through outdoor adventures and physical challenges.

The experience was “a leap of faith” for the 19-year-old mum – but one that proved to be “lifechanging”.

“I had to grow up when I had my son, but the growth I experienced at Outward Bound eclipsed that,” Kyleigh, now 26, said.

“I was made to push past barriers that existed within me. Now I’ve done that, I am much more open to trying new things.”

This year, the Outward

Bound Trust is reaching out to the community to help it provide the same opportunity to a new group of Wairarapa rangatahi.

In September, 14 students from various Wairarapa schools will attend Outward Bound’s Korowai course: one of the Trust’s 14 programmes aimed at secondary ākonga [students], held at Anakiwa in the Marlborough Sounds.

The three-week programme includes a variety of experiences to test participants’ physical and mental endurance: such as bushcraft, tramping, rock climbing, sailing and waka ama, and high ropes courses, as well as community service activities.

Outward Bound’s schools’ programmes are supported financially by students’ home regions – with local funders contributing, between them, the $63,000 needed to support the 14 students over 21 days.

fundraising and partnerships manager for the Outward Bound Trust, said Wairarapa organisations have so far contributed $44,000 for this year’s Korowai course — but the Trust still requires $19,000 to make

up the shortfall.

Paotonu said the Trust is keen to hear from “generous business owners, philanthropists and community organisations” who can “help secure the long-term viability of this very special course”.

“The magic of Outward Bound is that it’s helping students become leaders in their lives,” she said.

“The challenges they undertake in those 21 days help them gain confidence, develop their leadership skills, learn teamwork, and form strong relationships.

“That all helps the students create a sense of purpose and a lifelong belief in themselves — and that has a ripple effect throughout the community.

“Courses like Korowai can make a huge difference for young people - and funders can take part in that.”

Korowai is designed in partnership with all eight of Wairarapa’s secondary schools and has supported 42 ākonga from the region since 2019.

Students selected for the course are those who show commitment, potential for leadership, and compassion and care for others — but may not yet have developed the confidence to fully realise their potential.

Kyleigh Cork was in a similar position — having left school at 15 and without any formal qualifications, she was unsure of her direction in life.

Seven years on, she credits her Outward Bound experience for giving her “the confidence to take on new challenges”: such as relocating to Palmerston North with her young family, embarking on a new job with Palmerston

North City Council, and overcoming her shyness.

“I was a shy person and didn’t like talking in front of a bunch of strangers — but I pushed past all of that. Now you can’t shut me up!”

Paotonu said the Outward Bound Trust is hugely thankful to the organisations who have supported Korowai: including Masterton Trust Lands Trust, Trust House, Carterton District Council, Holborn Investments, Greytown Trustlands Trust, and the Lions Club of Martinborough.

• For more information about supporting Outward Bound’s Korowai course, contact Karla Paotonu at kpaotonu@ outwardbound.co.nz.

The course runs from 27 September to 17 October.

Many opportunities for youth in online gaming Continued from page 1 “Gaming is massive — it’s the largest entertainment industry in the world, even bigger than film,” Anderson said.

“There are a lot of opportunities for a career in the field: things like technical support, media and broadcasting, and event management.”

After attending the symposium, Anderson was inspired to take E-sports at Kuranui to the next level — forming two teams to enter the national league, with little hesitation from the

students.

Year 12 student Sebb Bale, captain of the GIK team, said the crews were looking forward to their first regional elimination round — and have been playing “a lot of practice matches” to hone their skills and map out their strategies.

“But often, you’ve got no idea how it’s going to go until you start playing,” he said.

“It all depends on the other team — you see what they’re bringing to the table and work out how aggressively or defensively you play from there.

“Some teams are a lot harder than others. In the pool matches, we did pretty well — but there were teams that absolutely destroyed us.”

For the elimination round, Sebb’s team will go up against Napier Boys High School, and JIK will face St Patrick’s Silverstream: with the winner of three matches moving on to the next round.

JIK captain Joel Brandon said the average match lasts “about 45 minutes”.

“Though we have done some matches in about

20. So, we’ll probably get through all three games in one night.”

Whatever happens this week, the students are aspiring towards a future in professional E-Sports: inspired by the live international tournaments, often held in large venues, attended by hordes of fans.

Worldwide, competitive gaming is one of the fastest-growing sports, with its audience predicted to reach 796 million global viewers by 2024.

The sport is also gathering steam in

Aotearoa — with an elite international gaming squad, the eBlacks, now in training.

“The international matches are huge,” Anderson said.

“The fans pack out stadiums, they wear their favourite team’s colours, they buy all the paraphernalia, they have team chants, some of them do cosplay.

“The international competition for the Dota 2 game has a prize pool of about $40million. In the US, E-Sports has got more followers than football.

“It’s very exciting

for young people to watch — there’s a lot of possibilities.”

Anderson said E-Sports still comes up against detractors who don’t consider gaming “a real sport”.

“But for me, E-Sports offers many of the things traditional sports offer: An expectation to put in 110 per cent, have fun, do your best, and — win, lose or draw — to do it together as a team.

“E-Sports also offers opportunities to represent yourself, your school, and, potentially, your nation in your chosen sport.”

T he story of C arterton’ s humbl e beginnings

ERIN KAVANAGH-HALL chats to the Carterton District Historical Society about its heritage plaques project - and the stories behind some of the town’s iconic buildings.

New Zealand’s oldest library, a former jail [as rumour has it], a family-owned bakery, the town farrier’s modest dwellings, and a stable turned secretive club headquarters turned recording studio.

These are just a handful of the historic buildings making up Carterton’s new heritage trail — launched to the public last week.

Last Wednesday, the Carterton District Historical Society celebrated the completion of its heritage plaques project — with a morning tea and unveiling ceremony at Carterton Events Centre.

The project, supported

by Carterton District Council [CDC], created plaques for 19 of the town’s heritage sites, buildings and monuments: each capturing a brief history of the building’s construction — mostly by local builders — and its various uses and inhabitants over the years.

Each plaque was written and designed by the Historical Society’s committee, and Greytownbased Lamb-Peters Print came on board to assist with printing and installation.

The project was a significant undertaking for the Society, with committee members spending over a year researching the 19 mostly colonial-era sites: Ranging

from tiny farming cottages, to old saddleries and gristmills, to stately minister’s homes and imposing meeting halls.

The sites will eventually make up a walking trail — with the Society looking to create further plaques and a pamphlet with additional information.

For last Wednesday’s event, the Society put together a display of paper versions of each plaque for attendees to read -— unveiled by Carterton mayor and Society patron Greg Lang.

The event finished with a “walking tour” of four historical sites on Holloway Street — the Carterton Community Courthouse, Carterton Public Library, and the old Masonic and Rechabite Lodges — led by Historical Society president Pene Will.

Will said the plaques project was a way for the Society to promote and preserve Carterton’s “rich heritage” for future generations — and pay tribute to the “working men and women” who built the town.

“Carterton comes from humble beginnings. It was a working men’s community — our forbearers built the roads and the bridges, cleared the bush, and worked in the sawmills,” she said.

“We were founded by working people, which is reflected in these heritage sites — built with local

labour, using local timber.

“Our history is part of Carterton’s identity — and it’s important to us, as a society, to make that visible to the public.

“It’s true when they say you can’t know where you’re going until you know where you’ve come from.”

The idea for the heritage plaques was first discussed by CDC’s Arts, Culture and Heritage Advisory Group in early 2001 — which explored potential new plaques for historic sites in the Carterton district, with a view to creating a heritage trail.

The Advisory Group engaged with the Historical Society who, after receiving a community grant from CDC, took ownership of the project.

After some “spirited discussions”, the Society’s committee narrowed down “a big list” of historically significant sites — before embarking on the year-long researching, writing and editing process.

Their research uncovered a variety of interesting tidbits: For example, the courthouse was moved from its original site to make way for the post office building and clock tower, and the Carterton library — built in 1881 — is the oldest purpose-built, stillfunctioning library in the country.

President Pene Will leads a walking tour of the historical sites on Holloway St. inset: The new plaque for the old Rechabite Lodge Hall — which has had a variety of uses of the years.

The southernmost building on the trail, Ridgway Cottage on High Street South, is the oldest inhabited residence in the district — and is widely believed to have housed Carterton’s first jail and,

at one point, an illegal whiskey distillery.

Particularly fascinating for Will was the Rechabite Lodge Hall, which has had multiple uses throughout its 134-year history: including as a

personality Paul Henry used the space to record shows for his radio station, Today FM. Will herself has a personal connection to the

building — as it was once the headquarters for the local Odd Fellows Lodge [a men’s social fraternity], of which both her father and grandfather were members.

“Dad was the secretary for the Odd Fellows — and he had to make the call to close the branch down, as they didn’t have enough members.

“The Rechabite Lodge moved in shortly afterwards. I always wondered why Dad didn’t

just stay on with the Rechabites — turns out, they were teetotal, which he wasn’t that keen on!”

Will said the committee was able to source a great deal of information online, but some sites required some extra detective work.

For example, information on the Masonic Lodge site proved elusive — until Will tracked down the building consents.

“It was originally a much grander building.

It was built in the neoclassical style, with columns out the front and arched windows.

“It was renovated in the 1960s when they added new toilets and a ramp — and they remodelled it in a style that was

popular at the time.

“So, it’s not as beautiful as it once was!”

Committee members

also interviewed members of the community, who were able to fill in some of the gaps.

For example, longtime Carterton local John Bridge shared his memories of working in his uncle’s bakery — one of eight which operated out of the old bakery building on High Street North — and recalled large sacks of flour being winched up to the top story of the bakehouse “John talked about making thousands of hot cross buns in the lead-up to Easter — the bakers there would work for 36 hours straight,” Will said.

“Also, his great-grandfather owned a bakery right across the street — one of the first in Carterton.

He brought flour over the Remutaka Hill in a wheelbarrow.

“There were so many great human stories, which we’d love to record in the pamphlet. What makes history interesting is the people.”

The Society acknowledged Carterton historian Joseph Gillard for his peer-review of the plaques, and the building owners for their support.

‘We need our nurses’ A Masterton real estate agent is going the extra mile to thank Wairarapa’s hardworking nurses.

Jude Clark has been in and out of Wairarapa Hospital with a terminally ill family member since late last year.

She decided she wanted to do something to show appreciation for the nurses – so, with support from the wider Wairarapa community, put together and delivered hundreds of gift packs as a token of her thanks.

“I’ve seen how hard the nurses work, and I wanted to say thank you,” Clark said.

“They pull together, even when they’re working with limited staff. We need our nurses — we couldn’t manage without this hospital.

“Even when Philip was unwell, they would still check on me, ask if I’m okay, offer me a coffee.

They really care.”

To help assemble the gift packs, Clark approached friends and businesses around Masterton.

“I put the idea out to everyone I knew in Wairarapa and to past Wairarapa people.

“I went on the radio and talked about how I wanted to give back.

“I asked for a $30 donation — that’s the cost

for each gift pack — and then I paid the rest.

“One person said she couldn’t give $30 but offered to help out in other ways.”

The combined efforts from locals put together 300 gift packages and 200 vouchers to spend as the person wished.

Clark delivered the packs to district and palliative care nurses last Thursday

— which she said were met with appreciation.

“This is just a few goodies, and a chance to say thank you.

“A lot of the nurses didn’t want the care packages, but they said it was so nice to be thought of and appreciated by the community.”

She delivered the rest to Wairarapa Hospital last Friday via a trolley.

Wairarapa Hospital had visitor restrictions, so her friend and nurse manager Sue Presow had to deliver them on her behalf.

Presow said working in a hospital had become stressful, with staff sickness and flu.

Don’t lose the will to win Erin Kavanagh-Hall writes some good articles — she has the advantage of being able to express some controversial ideas without PC censorship.

Her recent piece about the All Blacks [Midweek editorial, July 27] would, however, have pleased the PC Brigade. It spoke to the sentiment that rugby followers should accept that [the All Blacks] are now also-rans, of little importance. And that we should now focus on the arts and the nicer things in life. Sadly, these thoughts are shared by many.

But, for many of us, rugby is more than just a game. It brings many people together, regardless of their standing in the community. You learn the joys of teamwork, winning a hard-fought game, losing with dignity, and

Let’s turn a negative into a positive – use the current economic ‘situation’ as a reminder to prepare for the future, make wise decisions now that are going to benefit future generations to come.

Now is the time to establish an orchard at home that will provide fresh, healthy food for years to come. No-one has any idea what we may pay for a bag of juicy peaches, or a kilo of apples in ten years – grow your own and you won’t have to worry about it.

Don’t leave it any longer, it takes a few years for trees to produce crops. We recommend doing some research before planting. Have a look at our descriptive lists on our website, we have brochures in store for you to take away and read but best of all come in and have a look through the trees we have in stock now. We have a great range with large easy to see info labels.

Having them all side by side makes it much easier to eliminate. And of course our friendly team are here to help you with anything you need.

In the meantime, here’s a few things to consider.

How much space do you have?

If you are short on space fruit trees can also be espaliered/ fanned out along a fence.

Apples, ÿ gs, plums, cherries, peaches, pears, quinces, nectarines and apricots are some to consider. We have lots of dwarf fruit trees that are ideal for growing in small spaces and in containers.

Where’s the best spot to plant?

Have a wander around your garden and plan what could go where. Take note of soil conditions (is it soggy or dry); how much space is available (are there powerlines or buildings in the way or will the roots grow into the house in a few years), how much sun does it get in winter etc.

Will it need a pollinator?

Some trees need to be pollinated for fruit to set and even those that say they are selffertile (don’t need to be pollinated) do better with a companion tree of the same type. The tree won’t necessarily have to be yours, check with your neighbours to see what they have and work together.

What should you grow?

This is going to be hard because there is so many delicious ones to choose from. Narrow it down by thinking what your family love to eat – there’s no point wasting space on fruit to rot on the ground. If you have room for more than one with careful planning it’s possible to have something to pick all year round. Our ican Harvest Calendar can help you with this.

CHERRIES The blossoms on these trees are incredible – the fruit is an extra bonus.  Tangshe is self-fertile and ripens late October  Dawson grows into a lovely upright spreading tree  DUAL: Lapins & Dawson

APPLES

APRICOTS

Not all spring blossoms are the same – something to think about when choosing

There are fruit trees with two or three varieties on the one tree. This means you only need to have the one tree for pollination and you get more than one variety for eating. We have these listed as Dual or Triple trees.

 Sundrop is a good pollinator for many other varieties and has fruit that ripens at Christmas  Trevatt is very reliable and produces large crops  Royal Rosa starts producing fruit at a young age and the tree has good disease resistance  Moorpark has fuzz free skin!

It’s a good one to grow in cooler climates  DUAL: Sundrop & Newcastle

 Mother is a heritage variety that performs well in areas that have cooler summers  Liberty shows good resistance to black spot  Bramley is very high in vit C  DUAL: Royal Gala & Braeburn  TRIPLE: Splendour, Golden Delicious & Royal Gala

This could be a hard choice to make because there are lots of delicious choices. Take note of the pollination requirements.  Greengage is a late season sweet dessert fruit with yellow/ green skin & ° esh, needs pollinator  Hawera is self-fertile and one the best red plums  Omega is good for desserts & bottling, needs pollinator  DUAL: Santa Rosa & Black Doris Plums or Omega & Black Doris

PEARS Almost everyone loves pears so could be a good choice if space is tight.

NUTS Another option for growing food at home are nutritious Walnuts, Hazelnuts & Almonds.

10 Wairarapa Midweek Carterton Wednesday, August 3, 2022

Carterton

Pioneer families on display In celebration of Family History, Carterton Events Centre is hosting an exhibition of historic photographers of three pioneering Wairarapa families – Andersen, Wong, and Lipinski.

The display, compiled by the Carterton Historic Society, features this photo of Christian “Dick” Andersen - whose Scandinavian migrant parents Peder and Johanna Andersen settled in Parkvale in the 1880s, and farmed in the area for many years.

PHOTO/SUPPLIED

Dick, born in 1900, was the 10th of Peder and Johanna’s 13 children, all born at the family’s tiny cottage.

He was one of the few Andersen children to venture away from Wairarapa, heading to Australia in 1926.

This photo was taken in Carterton, not long before his departure.

A year on, he married Violet Johnson in Penrith, New South Wales, with whom he had three children.

When Dick died in 1987,

his ashes were returned to New Zealand and buried at Clareville Cemetery.

Several descendants of the Andersen family still live in Wairarapa including his great-great niece, Mikimiki local, historian and author Marlene Ditchfield.

Here’s a challenge for Midweek readers: does anyone recognise the decorative badge that Dick is wearing on his lapel?

• If you have any information, contact Marlene via email at marlened@xtra.co.nz.

Council sta˜ propose hall’s disposal Sta˜ at Carterton District Council have recommended the historic Belvedere Hall be demolished.

Carterton District Council staff have recommended the disposal of a historic community hall that is in significant disrepair.

Belvedere Hall, which was a school in the 1880s, was recently returned to council management in May after the dissolution of the Belvedere Public Hall Board.

The building has a raft of issues that need addressing, which were raised in a 2014 builder’s report — but not acted on.

In a recent report to elected members, council staff said there were two options for the hall: dispose of it or engage a builder to quote on its repair and restoration.

“Given the lack of community use, the winding up of the previous hall committee, and the poor state of repair of the building, officers recommend a disposal of the hall at this time,” council staff said.

The hall holds sentimental value in the Carterton community, but it is only used once a year – usually for community Christmas parties.

It has no official heritage value but does have Reserve Act status under the Community Building Reserve Category.

The 2014 builder’s report identified a number of rotten weatherboards, piles, and door sills.

In the middle of the hall, the complete side of the angled ceiling and its connection to the front roof and ceiling construction is fixed together with ‘number 8 wire’.

The hall also does not have its own water supply.

There have been three past attempts to close the hall due to declining usage and limited funds.

If the council decides to dispose of Belvedere Hall, it would need to consult with the Department of Conservation

during August and be in to WIN...

and Land Information New Zealand.

Once the legal process is followed to revoke the hall’s Reserve Act status, the land would be offered for sale on the open market.

Disposal of the hall site would require operational expenditure — however, the council would likely recoup those costs through the sale of the land.

Community engagement was undertaken with the Belvedere community in May. If a decision to dispose of the hall is made, this will trigger the need for public consultation.

The hall is currently closed to the public.

12 Wairarapa Midweek Opinion Wednesday, August 3, 2022 EDITORIAL

Opinion

Teaching consent: Let’s get it right As Children’s Commissioner Andrew Becroft told Stuff in 2021: “It’s time for New Zealand to admit [sexual violence] is an epidemic — and it needs a national epidemiclevel response.”

At the time, Becroft was responding to the results of a survey, completed by 725 students from Christchurch Girls High School. Of the students that responded, more than half reported regular experiences of sexual harassment and assault.

The survey estimated there had been, within a five-month period, 2677 incidents of harassment against 381 students — with their young male peers among the offenders.

Twenty students alleged they had been raped.

That same year, a report from the government’s violence prevention strategy, Te Aorerekura, revealed an estimated 1 in 3 girls and 1 in 7 boys will experience sexual violence before the age of 16.

Let that sink for a moment.

More than year on from the Christchurch Girls High survey, a

PHOTO/STOCK.ADOBE.COM

Young(ish), scrappy & hungry

Erin Kavanagh-Hall growing number of educators, advocates and rangatahi are calling on the government to make sexual consent education compulsory in schools.

Overseas research has shown comprehensive sex education can help reduce sexual harm — by giving young people tools to develop healthy, respectful relationships.

In Aotearoa, teaching on consent — as well as on gender diversity, online safety and pornography — is advisable under the Ministry of Education’s Relationships and

Sexuality Guidelines.

However, the Ministry has no process to ensure schools are implementing these guidelines. It’s up to schools to set their own lesson plans, in consultation with their communities.

Sexual violence prevention advocate Genna Hawkins-Boulton recently surveyed 300 teens who had experienced sexual assault — all whom reported their high school consent education was “inadequate” at best, non-existent at worst.

My thoughts?

If the statistics are anything to go by, sexual violence among young people is frighteningly common — and schools are well-placed to be part of the solution. But if we’re going to mandate consent education, we need to ensure it’s delivered competently.

Sexual violence is a multi-faceted issue, and there’s more to consent education than “no means no”. For example: How do we give rangatahi the tools to handle rejection?

How do we ensure a student knows what to do if someone isn’t prepared to take “no” for an answer?

How do they navigate body language and non-verbal cues?

How do we ensure our consent education is inclusive of the LGBTQ+ community, rangatahi Maori and disabled students?

How do we help children develop confidence in their bodily autonomy — and the language to communicate their boundaries?

How do we guide young men to push back against a culture which teaches

them they’re entitled to sex, and that women’s bodies are theirs for the taking — by force if necessary?

There’s a lot to unpack here. As with any major changes to the curriculum, educators will require significant upskilling and professional development.

Consent will need to be incorporated into teacher training courses.

And I know I sound like a broken record here … but it will require buy-in from our elected leaders.

It will require support and adequate resourcing for our teachers. It will require investment in our education system — which has been successively underfunded.

It will require the political will to do better by our rangatahi. And right now … I don’t know if we’re seeing anywhere near an “epidemic level response”.

Yes, we need consent education. But we need to do it properly: It can’t be another box-ticking exercise, with a few worksheets and awkward animated videos. Young Kiwis deserve better.

Extra

New director appointed to lead Aratoi Aratoi’s new director, Sarah McClintock, who will take up her role in September, is well used to working in regional galleries.

At present Curator and Collections Manager at The Suter Art Gallery Te Aratoi o Whakatū in Nelson, she was previously Assistant Curator at the Sarjeant Gallery Te Whare o Rehuna Whanganui so for the past 10 years she has been telling the stories of areas which are outside a large urban area.

“One of my friends asked me recently if I was happy to work in the regions,” says McClintock.

“I feel there are so many

advantages. You can be bold and creative in what you do. Having a small team doing a lot means you can work seamlessly.

There are no levels and levels of bureaucracy to worry about and though bigger museums and galleries might seem better resourced, they have gigantic collections to maintain.”

She believes that regional communities expect something that is world class.

“Regional communities contain people who think, who are well travelled, well informed and receptive to exciting and creative things,” she says.

Sarah McClintock has been appointed Aratoi’s new director.

PHOTO/SUPPLIED

McClintock’s first post was as an archivist at the National Archive in Wellington. She notes the advantage of soon being close to Wellington, though, she says, she has got used to the “calm and quiet” of the regions.

“Because of living in

Wellington I know the Wairarapa generally but I am looking forward to getting to really know it. Like the two other regions I have worked in, Wairarapa has an incredible history of creativity and this attracts creativity.”

In her role at The Suter, McClintock has worked in partnership with the six main iwi in Te Tauihu and with an iwi curator to highlight toi Maori.

A current exhibition of Stevei Houāmau’s carved uku [clay] artefacts is an example of her mahi.

David Moriarty, the Chair of the Aratoi Regional Trust, said that the process of seeking a new director was rigorous.

“Sarah has an extensive background in exhibition, collection, and heritage management. That we received so many quality applications from all over the country is a reflection of how Aratoi is perceived nationally.

“We are delighted to have Sarah join Aratoi; after a number of years of hard work Aratoi is now at the stage where it is ready for someone to take it to the next level. We wish Sarah all the best in her new role and look forward to seeing her successes.”

Pianist to bring some Spanish sun Featherston’s final Mulled Wine Concert for this year promises to bring “a breath of warm Spanish sunshine to midwinter Wairarapa”.` New Zealand pianist Lorelle McNaughton will be performing at the Anzac Hall next Friday — offering a programme of “wonderfully colourful and evocative music” from some of the great Spanish composers.

McNaughton has recently returned to New Zealand after 10 years abroad — where she gained a wide breadth of knowledge and experience after studying in Australia and Europe.

After graduating with First Class Honours from the Sydney Conservatorium, McNaughton lived in Spain for three years and completed a Master of Spanish Music at the Conservatori Superior de Música del Liceu in Barcelona — gaining an invaluable insight into Spanish piano repertoire.

She is particularly

inspired by the vibrant and passionate art form of flamenco which emerged from the gypsy quarters of Southern Spain.

McNaughton has performed extensively across the globe and was invited to perform at the Oceania Exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts in London.

As well as embarking on several successful solo tours, she is also a founding member of piano quartet Estrella, whose debut album Tui, comprised of works by New Zealand composers, reached No.1 on the RadioNZ Classical Charts on its release in 2013.

McNaughton’s Featherston programme

will include Spanish Dances Op.37 by Enrique Granados, Aragonesa and Andaluza by Manuel de Falla [one of Spain’s finest musicians of the 20th century], and Isaac Albéniz’s Book Three of Iberia.

McNaughton is one of only a small number of pianists worldwide who can complete Albéniz’s piece -

Red-crowned kakariki at Pukaha National Wildlife Centre.

PHOTO/SUPPLIED

Retirement nearing for kakariki breeders George Hewitt Retirement is just around the corner for four red-crowned kākāriki from Pūkaha National Wildlife Centre, due to be released into a wild flock soon.

Moana, Matiu, Fern and Koru from Pūkaha were past their breeding age and were looking for a place where they could relax in their golden years.

Our friends at Cape Sanctuary [on the Cape Kidnappers peninsula in Hawke’s Bay] were keen and very excited to release these manu [birds] into their flock.

Cape Sanctuary is a privately owned 2500ha wildlife restoration project, with a 10.6km predator-proof fence that runs across the neck of Cape Kidnappers peninsula.

About 30 minutes northwest of Havelock North in Hawke’s Bay, this sunny spot will be the perfect place for our red-crowned kākāriki to see out their golden years.

On the last week of June, these four kākāriki were boxed up by the Pūkaha rangers and transported safely up to Cape Sanctuary.

They have now been housed for a few weeks in an aviary at Cape Sanctuary, this enables them to adapt to their newfound environment before being released into a wild flock.

The team at Cape Sanctuary have reported they are doing very well, and have taken a liking to their supplementary

feed, with the hope they will be released in early this month.

“Our wild kākāriki were eager to introduce themselves to the newbies too. With plenty of chatter exchanged between the aviary and outside. While their good looks and charismatic ways quickly stole the hearts of our volunteers” says Aimee Pitcher of Cape Sanctuary.

Our wild k˜k ˜r iki were eager to introduce themselves to the newbies too.

With plenty of chatter exchanged between the aviary and outside. While their good looks and charismatic ways quickly stole the hearts of our volunteers The red-crowned kākāriki, a small green parakeet, is distinguished from other species of kākāriki the yellow-crowned and orange-fronted by its bright red crimson forehead.

It’s not roses and retirement for all red-crowned kākāriki though!

Once widespread around Aotearoa the red-crowned kākāriki are now only in areas of the country free of large populations of mammalian predators.

These guys have a

conservation status of ‘Near Threatened’ meaning that they may be vulnerable to endangerment in the near future.

Attacks by introduced predators such as mustelids and rats are the main threat.

Fledglings are often fed on the ground before learning to fly, which makes them especially vulnerable to predators.

Females and their chicks are also at risk of predators entering tree hollows and, in these circumstances, there is often no escape.

So how can we ensure all red-crowned kākāriki throughout Aotearoa reach the golden years of their lives?

• Trap on your property • Keep your cat in at night • Support captive breeding efforts at places like Pūkaha • And protect old growth ngahere habitats where these manu thrive.

We look forward to seeing our four kākāriki released at Cape Sanctuary, keep an eye out on our @pukahanz social media channels.

Happy retirement Moana, Matiu, Fern and Koru! Not only do we hope you thrive, but we hope all kākāriki like you can forage for berries and survive in dense ngahere country-wide!

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

A remit by Local Government New Zealand [LGNZ] is calling for tougher laws around vaping as underage use continues to rise, but local vendors say the measures could be counterproductive.

The remit requests the government to restrict the sale of vaping products to R18 specialist vape stores and develop proximity limits to prevent the clustering of vaping product retailers and

While we support the supply of vapes to people wanting to stop smoking, we don’t want to see young people who have never smoked in their life taking it up.

protect young people.

The remit came as all three Wairarapa councils were reviewing their smoke-free policy.

One Masterton retailer who sells vapes in his store said although it was not a big part of his business, he did not understand the reasoning behind the changes.

“If the central government is trying to encourage vapes as a good alternative to smoking, and cigarettes are sold at all places vapes are sold, then if I don’t provide an alternative to cigarettes then what’s the point?

“You have to have vapes and smokes side by side. It just seems counterproductive.”

The retailer said it could lead to people simply buying cigarettes if vapes were less available.

The remit was proposed

by Kaipara District Council which was seeing high numbers of vape stores operating in their region.

According to Kaipara Mayor Jason Smith, there were 13 retailers along Dargaville’s main road where people could buy vapes, including three specialist stores within 150

metres of each other.

The situation was not as severe in Wairarapa. On Queen St in Masterton, there were five retailers selling vaping products.

Masterton also had a number of specialist stores of which the two closest were 110m apart from each other, raising concerns of clustering.

Councils were not responsible for individual outlets, instead, that was the role of the Vaping Regulatory Authority.

Masterton District Council supported the remit when it was raised at a council meeting last month.

LGNZ President Stuart Crosby said less access to vaping products would help curve underage use.

“Between 2018 and 2021, daily vaping rose from 2 per cent to nearly 10 per cent among 14-15-year-olds. We can’t afford this trend to continue.

“While we support the supply of vapes to people wanting to stop smoking, we don’t want to see young people who have never smoked in their life taking it up. That means we must stop vapes from being so readily available in our dairies, supermarkets and service stations.

Crosby said that retailer location was a main concern of councils, saying that vaping products were too accessible.

“Councils play a major role in promoting the wellbeing of their communities. Concerns around youth vaping is one issue mayors and councillors hear about time and time again from worried parents.

“We welcome the recent changes that include restrictions around the sale of vapes and advertising and sponsorship but vapes are still available in too many places in our communities.

“The amendments that came into effect over the past two years do not include measures that prevent retailers from being within a stone’s throw of each other, or from schools for that matter.”

Wairarapa Resource Centre 10th birthday Wairarapa Resource Centre

Wairarapa Resource Centre birthday celebrated with scholarships These days, op-shops, recycle stores, second-hand shops, vintage hubs, and markets are all the go-to places for many of us. It’s a wise move to stretch your money, you can also ÿ nd items not available in mainstream shops, and it’s also helping planet earth by re-using goods, reducing waste to the landÿ ll, and lessening rabid consumerism.

The Wairarapa Resource Centre (WRC) in Masterton is all about the environment, along with giving people a helping hand. “Giving a hand up, not a handout,” is its philosophy. Operated by a trust, all proceeds are returned to the community. The Centre looks to re-use items of all kinds, and it also helps people ÿ nd their way in life by o˝ ering volunteering opportunities and giving them the skills for further meaningful work. Yes, the Resource Centre is very much about people, along with o˝ ering great goods and services.

In the past 10 years, WRC has grown from operating out of a small tin shed at the rear of the Wairarapa Community Centre in Perry Street, Masterton, to an extensive operation in King Street, the hub for all manner of activity. There are more than 30 volunteers keen to help and four part-time paid positions.

Jonathan Hooker is the Project Manager and Trudie Jones, the Shop Manager. Trudie has been there

The Wairarapa Resource Centre team gather to celebrate 10 years of successful operation. since the beginning when St Vincents de Paul closed in Masterton. Initially the new organisation was umbrellaed by Poverty Action Group and quickly the service outgrew both the shed and that group. Trudie recognised the need to continue helping people ÿ nd their way in life and to o˝ er resource recovery. WRC was born in new premises in King Street. Helping to empower people is what she enjoys, and she is proud of the strong association WRC has with Work and Income (WINZ) personnel, and many other supportive community groups and businesses.

“People are our most valuable resource and if they are not conÿ dent and trained, employers are in trouble.” says Trudie. The Centre provides a buddy system whereby each new volunteer is teamed up with another more experienced volunteer. “It works well, and everyone learns together.”

Jonathan Hooker was a Masterton District Councillor for 18 years and a Pastor at Equippers Church. His people skills are well-honed. An innate interest in recycling saw him join the WRC Board and in 2015 he left the Board position to be WRC Project Manager. He loves the diversity of people the Centre attracts.

The other two paid part-time positions are Alexander and Julia. Alexander is known as the ‘salvage man’ who works ‘out back’ taking items apart, ensuring every piece where possible is re-used in some way. Nothing gets wasted at WRC. Julia is the Centre’s truck driver responsible for pickups and deliveries.

The Club Hotel in Masterton.

PHOTO/WAIRARAPA ARCHIVE

It started with a shooting in Masterton and ended with the assailant hanging himself 15 years later.

MARK PACEY of the Wairarapa Archive delves into some of the murderous events of Wairarapa’s dark past.

The Porirua Mental Hospital.

In 1895 Andrew Somerville, an American who was “quiet and industrious” was working for an East Coast settler who the newspaper simply referred to as Herbert.

Somerville was not satisfied with the wages he was being paid by Herbert and complained to higher authorities. The case ended up going to court in Masterton where the dispute was heard.

As the case progressed, Somerville was not confident it was going in his favour, so he decided to take matters into his own hands.

As court broke up for the

day and those involved went out and have some dinner, Somerville put his plan into action. He managed to purchase a revolver in town and then made his way to the Club Hotel where he knew Herbert was dining.

Somerville walked into the establishment, spotted Herbert and made his way over to him. Standing before him he asked, “Are you going to pay me?”.

Herbert was stunned by this sudden confrontation and remained speechless, which only aggravated Somerville more. The disgruntled employee then shouted a Victorian expletive that was

reasonably straightforward one. Somerville was seen to shoot Herbert by several witnesses, he was then seen by two policemen to chase his victim across the street brandishing a weapon. It should have been an open and closed case. But it was not to be.

At his trial in Wellington, Somerville must have acted in an unusual way. The paper stated Somerville’s behaviour was “that of a martyr rather than a homicide”. The jury decided these were not the actions of a sane man, and he was acquitted of the murder charge on the grounds on insanity.

After a stay in the Napier prison, Somerville was transferred to the Porirua Mental Hospital in 1901. He remained at this institution for the next 10 years. He appealed the decision to send him there and frequently asked to be released, but this was not granted to him to which he complained bitterly.

On Thursday December 1, 1910, Somerville made his way into a hayloft, tied a rope to the rafters and hung himself. The official verdict of Somerville’s death was that of “suicide while of unsound mind, no blame being attachable to anyone”.

censored in the newspaper at the time as “Take that you —-!”.

Somerville pulled out his revolver and shot Herbert at close range. Yelling “and that and that”.

He continued firing at the defenceless Herbert, two of his bullets finding their mark. The wounded man managed to get up from his table and he ran across the street to try and escape the enraged Somerville, who came after him. Herbert fell to the ground near the corner of Perry Street, Somerville hot on his heels.

As luck would have it, police constables Collerton

and Nestor were in town for a meeting and were both standing outside when they saw the bleeding Herbert hobble out followed by Somerville brandishing a gun.

They managed to restrain Somerville, which was no mean feat because he was “a man of big stature” before he realised that they were policemen. The still partially loaded revolver was pulled from his hand, and he was taken away in handcuffs by the two policemen to the Masterton Police Station.

Herbert, by this stage, had died from his wounds.

The case seemed to be a

Where to find the answer

23

Midweek Musings Magic Circle magician and author Professor Richard Wiseman first became interested in magic when he was a child. His grandfather would show him the same trick every time they were together, with Wiseman never becoming bored with it.

This, of course, led to the grandson continuously asking the grandfather how the trick was done.

Rather than giving away the secret, the grandfather instead told Wiseman where he could find the answer, this being the local library. Sure enough this was the case; Wiseman was able to find out how to perform the trick, but this was just the tip of the iceberg, as he found countless other books on magic that opened his eyes to far bigger horizons than the one trick his grandfather shared with him.

Libraries are a wealth of information, as proved to be the case for a young Prof. Wiseman. Almost any question can be answered through the books and resources, as well as staff, that are available there.

You could be a budding magician, or you might want to become an expert on Greek philosophy; whatever your goal, your library will help you on the journey to get there.

Pull out the pin

The French philosopher Alain had a concept called ‘pulling out the pin’. This essentially means that when we encounter people who may be difficult or unpleasant, there is likely to be a reason for it, with the reason being the metaphorical ‘pin’. If we can identify what the pin is and then remove it, the likely outcome will be that the behaviour of the person will become more pleasant.

In The School of Life

ck Ba

Dictionary, the traditional fable Androcles and the Lion is used to illustrate the point. Androcles came across the lion that had been terrifying villages.

Despite being afraid for his life, Androcles noticed a thorn in the lion’s claw, which he then carefully removed. Immediately the lion became calm and the two become friends.

Perhaps there is someone you know who has a pin that could be removed, or maybe you have one of your own that you could do without.

Either way, removing it will make for a happier place in any environment.

Try new things

It is so easy to hesitate before trying new things.

Often this will be for two reasons: the first being that we are very comfortable doing what we are already doing [and there is nothing wrong with this]; and the other being that we are worried about failure.

If we look back at our lives almost everything we have achieved has involved a level of risk: asking someone out; applying for a job; joining a new club where you don’t know anyone. Each of these involves risk and being uncomfortable, yet, in almost all cases, taking these risks has made our lives better.

Even the times in which we do fail, at least we find out what the outcome was. This will enable us to either move on to something else, or to tweak our approach and try again.

One of lives great tragedies will be coming to the end and regretting the many things we didn’t try to do. Stop hesitating and start taking those risks for a more fulfilling life.

Let others choose

For almost every movie I see I will only go to ones I pick, or that someone else with similar taste to me chooses. However, on a cold Christchurch afternoon we went to the fabulous cinema at the Art Centre and watched a movie I would never otherwise have seen.

Two hours later, despite having my customary movie nap, the credits rolled for the film Where The Crawdads Sing and I had really enjoyed it.

This reminded me that it’s important to try things that are different. Yes, there will be occasions in which our biases are confirmed, but there will be many times in which a whole new genre or experience is opened for you.

Challenge the status quo

Not the usual sort of thing I write about in my column, but this is something I found really interesting that I heard when Malcolm Gladwell was interviewed on the Rich Roll podcast. It’s on the topic of school cross country team events.

Typically, when

FRIDAY 5TH AUGUST 7.30PM Classic songs from the 50’s 60’s 70’s

determining the winning team in an event it will be by adding up the placings of, for example, the first four team finishers. So, if a team had placings of first, sixth, 11th and 20th the team would score 38 points, with the lowest scoring team winning.

Any other finishers on the team would count for nothing, and if the person coming 20th was safe in that position there would be little incentive in trying at the end.

Gladwell’s idea is to add up team times, as opposed to placings. This would make every team member’s times of equal importance, and would mean that every competitor should be giving their all right until they cross the finish line. Yes, there will still be podium individual recognition, but there would also be greater team camaraderie.

My point here is that we can do things in different ways to what has always been done before, and in doing so we may find our changes to have a greater benefit to a wider group of people, both in terms of effort and recognition.

How to learn a language I love the idea of learning languages. One positive about technology is that we are given many avenues to achieve this goal, with numerous online courses and apps that have been specifically designed for this very purpose. Of all the online content, one that stands out is Duolingo, which is the number one educational app in the world. I have used it to gain basic proficiency in French and am now starting the [much harder] Mandarin course. My hope is that the very overdue te reo Māori course will be available soon.

If you want to make better use of your screen time Duolingo is a great place to start!

Dark enough for the magic For the first half of August, the best sky time is early morning, while the second half of August is far better in the evening. The sun is still taking its time rising these days, but is closer to 7.30 am rather than the unearthly hour of 8 in midwinter. But there is still enough dark to capture the magic of the eastern sky before sunrise.

In the North; Mars, Matariki and the red star Aldebaran form a sort of triangle. Then sweeping south across the high eastern sky, we pass the easily recognisable Orion, with his belt of three stars in a line. Continuing the scan, we come to the brightest star, the dog star Sirius. You can’t miss it, but anyway, Orion’s belt points to it.

Sirius is only the brightest because it is one of the nearest stars.

Otherwise, if you look back to Orion, the two brightest stars in Orion on either side of the belt are hundreds of times brighter than Sirius, but also hundreds of lightyears farther away. These are blue Rigel and orangered Betelgeuse [see the picture]. But not to take anything away from Sirius.

It is a beautiful blue-white star, 25 times as bright as our sun.

Continuing south across

Nick Sault the eastern sky and a little higher in the sky is the second-brightest star in the sky, Canopus. This is a giant also, and its white light shines with a power of 10 thousand of our suns, making our system seem pretty small in comparison. But then we may only be here thanks to our relatively gentle star.

HAVING TROUBLE WITH YOUR BIKE STARTING ON THESE COLD WINTER DAYS?

Food for thought.

Then, due south and almost resting on the horizon is Rigil Kentaurus — better known as Alpha Centauri — the prime star in the Centaurus constellation. It won’t look too much like the third brightest star in the sky due to its location at this time, but we needed to

complete that sweep from north to south across the eastern sky.

In the evening, we get a brief chance to share some of the northern hemisphere’s constellations after the 14th, when the moon has done its dash. Almost bang on north, Hercules constellation graces with his square body [why would he have other than that?], while to his left [west] is the fourth brightest star in the sky, Arcturus, in the

constellation of Boötes the Herdsman.

To the right of Hercules [east], almost scraping the horizon, is the fifth brightest star in the sky. This is Vega, in the constellation of the Lyre.

So, in the course of the night, we have the top five brightest stars in the sky.

However, in the evening view we just lose Sirius over the western horizon as Vega peeps over the north eastern horizon.

Otherwise, we would see all five at one time.

It said award categories included emerging talent, environment and

sustainability, innovation, and arable food champion.

Nominations were open to both growers and end-product makers.

Karen Williams was the previous Federated Farmers national vicepresident and arable chairwoman.

Federated Farmers Arable Group chairman Colin Hurst said a challenging time for farmers hadn’t stopped the awards from going ahead.

“With covid, widespread supply chain and workforce disruption, inflation and all the other challenges currently going on, one might have thought nominating arable industry heroes for awards could slip as a priority.”

There were 80 Karen Williams is up for two arable awards.

Foot and mouth detected Grace Prior

Rural

grace.prior@age.co.nz

Wairarapa farmers think a foot and mouth outbreak could be “catastrophic” to New Zealand’s primary industries, giving the disease more concern than tuberculosis and mycoplasma bovis.

This comes after the disease was found on illegally imported food in Australia in recent weeks.

Wairarapa Federated Farmers president and veterinarian David Hayes said foot and mouth disease caused severe blisters on the hooves and around the mouths of ruminant animals, including cows, sheep, and pigs.

Hayes said the consequences of an outbreak of foot and mouth disease would be “catastrophic” because it could grind much of the primary industry to a halt, but the risk of an outbreak remained low.

He said the disease moved quickly through herds and could easily spread across the nation undetected within two weeks because it took up to 10 days for animals to begin showing symptoms.

“There would be a national standstill regardless of where it is found, and that means that no stock would be able to move except by permit.”

Hayes said those in an area of an outbreak could need to face depopulation of stock or vaccinating herds.

He said the disease could be found in many countries, but Indonesia had become a focus for the nation.

Hayes said it was best to avoid allowing anyone who had travelled from overseas within two weeks to encounter stock.

Biosecurity New Zealand deputy director general Stuart Anderson has announced that travellers from Indonesia, where the disease was found in the tourist hotspot of Bali, would not be allowed to bring meat products into New Zealand.

He said any meat products brought in by travellers from Indonesia would be safely destroyed.

The rule change did not affect commercial products, which faced strict import standards.

Anderson said the meat ban added to other airport checks for those from Indonesia, including disinfectant mats for people to clean their footwear.

He said there was also an on-the-ground audit of Indonesia’s palm kernel supply chain.

“Although the risk of the recent outbreak in Indonesia to New Zealand remains low, we remain on high alert,” Anderson said.

Hayes said the disease

Vaccination could be a way to combat a foot and mouth disease outbreak in New Zealand livestock.

PHOTOS/FILE

was severe and debilitating in ruminants, but it wasn’t a health issue for humans.

Foot and mouth disease was often confused with hand, foot, and mouth disease, often seen in children and causes fever, mouth sores, and skin rash commonly seen on hands and feet.

Hayes said if there was an outbreak of foot and mouth, early detection would be the most significant effort to reduce the impact.

“Because many countries seek to stay free of foot and mouth disease, including Australia and New Zealand, for the obvious impact it has on animals and the economic cost of that, there are a lot of biosecurity interventions in place.”

Hayes said people should keep an eye out for lameness in stock and to call their vet early.

“The disease moves pretty quickly because it moves with stock, two weeks go by, and stock will be spread all over the country, and then you’ve got a disaster.”

Masterton farmer David Holmes said he had firsthand experience with foot and mouth disease in the early 2000s.

He said he judged a highland show in Scotland in 2000, and a year later, all the cattle that he had judged were dead because of the disease.

“I can’t stress enough how serious it is, and I don’t think a lot of people realise how serious it is.”

He said the disease was “horrendous” and would have a much more significant impact than tuberculosis.

Holmes said he was in strong support of the efforts that had been enforced at the border.

He said the disease wasn’t far away from New Zealand with Indonesia’s proximity to the nation.

He said an outbreak would be the “end of everything” for Wairarapa because most livestock with the disease would be slaughtered and left on farms.

“They normally burn them all and then bury them. It would be catastrophic; it’d be dreadful, really.”

Holmes was concerned that the disease could make its way into our wild deer and goat population because it “could never be stopped”.

Hayes said Australia and New Zealand had good responses to foot and mouth, and although the risk of an outbreak remained low, it had changed and was worth paying attention to.

He said the most important action was to stop people who had been travelling from coming near their stock because the virus could stay alive on clothing for extended periods of time.

Ministry of Primary Industries, Federated Farmers, and Beef and Lamb have further information on the disease and its prevention.

DairyNZ Update Make sure magnesium supplementation keeps being made available to all cows – both dry and calved. As we move through the spring, more of the pasture the cows will be offered will be spring grown and nitrogen boosted and naturally lower in magnesium.

Try to make sure it is made available in two forms – on the supplement or pasture as well as in the trough water. Cows will vary both in the amount of pasture and water they will consume, so it makes good practical sense to cover both bases.

It’s also that time of the year when stock may need to be destroyed and animal welfare issues need to be acknowledged.

Make sure you and your staff have got it right – visit DairyNZ’s website and check out www.dairynz.co.nz/animal/welfare/ humane-slaughter to make sure you treat your stock humanely and with respect.

Wai-Bush make a promising beginning RUGBY

Chris Cogdale Wairarapa Bush 38 Central Hawke’s Bay 8 Farriers WairarapaBush coach Mark Rutene was satisfied with his inexperienced squad’s first hit out of the season against Central Hawke’s Bay on Friday night.

Wai-Bush ran in six tries, three in each half, in a dominant performance at Trust House Memorial Park, in the first of three warm-up matches in preparation for the Heartland Championship.

Five of the tries were scored by the backs with exciting Carterton winger Fiula Tamelau crossing for two, and the others to first-five Reece Calkin, centre Nikora Ewe, and winger Tristan Flutey, while lock Andrew Smith also grabbed a five-pointer.

Rutene felt the team played well in patches and was pleased to come away with a first-up win.

“We started well for the first 20 and they came back at us and got a bit of momentum,” Rutene said.

“There were lots of changes and guys coming and going so we’re pleased to get one under our belt and pick up a win.

“We could’ve scored more, and we probably gave away three tries from poor decisionmaking but 38-8 was an okay start.

“Some areas didn’t function. We lost a bit of ball at the breakdown; we lost a couple of lineouts and a few kick receipts, but our defence was good.”

Rutene was impressed with Tameilau,

Wellington prop James Coburn, who was strong at scrum time and busy around the field, and potential import Aidan Champion from Manawatu, a halfback cum first-five, who played for the Hurricanes in this year’s Under-20 national championship.

Others to stand out were loose forward Logan Flutey, halfback Sam Walton-Sexton, and prop Stan Wright Jnr. Injuries meant Rutene only had two back reserves for the match, with injury ruling out the two stars of the previous weekend’s club final - Marist centre Charles Mataitai, and Carterton fullback Aseri Waqa.

Rutene expected to have a more balanced team for Saturday’s warm-up game against Wellington Centurions, which he said would be a step up from Central Hawke’s Bay.

Chris Cogdale MEN Dalefield Victoria

4 2

Farriers Dalefield came from behind twice to beat a gutsy Victoria University 4-2 at the Trust House Wairarapa Hockey Complex on Saturday.

The Wellington Hockey Premier Championship top qualifiers went into the final round-robin match looking for a confidence booster against their fifthplaced opponents, after dropping their first game of the season 4-3 to Hutt United last weekend.

However, Victoria started the better with goals in the first and second quarters to take a 2-1 halftime lead.

Dalefield’s only reward was a field goal to playerco-coach Benedict van Woerkom in the second period.

The home side lifted the intensity in the third quarter and took control, with a stroke from captain Rowan Yeo to equalise before a shot from Hamish Finlayson was deflected into the net.

A goal to Zac Caldwell from a Dylan Price cross four minutes into the final spell completed the scoring.

Dalefield captain Rowan Yeo, left, was disappointed in his team’s slow start against Victoria.

Yeo was disappointed with Dalefield’s lack of aggression on defence early in the game.

“In the first half we let them come into our half and hold all of the possession and they started to get a flow on like the team they are, and we let them take control of the game,” Yeo said.

“We’ve been performing quite well in the second half, and we showed that again this week but definitely we didn’t want to run into the semifinals with a couple of losses

and we’ve got a bit of momentum now.”

Dalefield will host Hutt United in the first semifinal on Saturday, with the winner going straight to the final on August 20, and the loser facing a sudden death playoff against the winner of the third-fourth playoff between Indians and defending champions Harbour City.

WOMEN Dalefield Victoria

5 0

Farriers Dalefield scored

the bonus point victory they wanted but, in the end, it was all in vain as they had to settle for third place and a sudden death playoff next Saturday.

Dalefield needed to win by five or more goals over Victoria University and hope that Northern United beat Hutt United to sneak into the top two places and get two lives for the playoffs. A 4-2 win to Hutt ended their chances though.

Dalefield hit their straps in the first quarter, scoring

three goals, to Reese Robertson and Brigette Mossman from penalty corners, and a field goal to Felicity Reidy.

Abby Crawley added a fourth in the second quarter, and a fifth from a penalty corner in the third period.

Captain Michael O’Connor admitted it was an up-and-down performance from the twotime defending champions.

“We came out firing and sort of died off in the second half and we seem to be doing that a bit so that’s a bit of a work on for us,” O’Connor said.

“There were a lot of good things out there, and it wasn’t awesome, but it wasn’t bad.”

O’Connor highlighted the strong defence, which allowed Victoria little time or space on attack, and improved passing through as positives.

She was also looking ahead to the playoffs with confidence saying the team have played well in the past when under pressure.

Dalefield will host Harbour City in a sudden death third-fourth playoff on Saturday, with the winner to go on and play the loser of the Hutt United-Northern United game for a place in the final.
