Plucky Carterton pulls together

Lisa Urbani Founded in 1857, Carterton was originally known as ‘Three Mile Bush’.

Later it was named after Charles Carter, who was in charge of building a bridge over the Waiohine River.

It is well known as New Zealand’s Daffodil capital, hosting an annual Daffodil Festival each year in September, and its population, according to the 2018 census, is under 10,000.

Since the Covid-19 lockdown, a number of shops in the main street have not re-opened, but those that have, have mixed feelings about the economic impact of the pandemic.

At Almo’s Books, owner Steve Laurence said they had been really busy, and he had used the lockdown as a time to sort out his stock, and launched a sale when he re-opened.

Small business grant fund applications available in June Carterton’s Small Business Grant Fund will be open for applications on June 1.

The Carterton Small Business Grant Fund was designed to help small local businesses recover from the economic effects of COVID-19.

From June 1, smallsized, locally owned and operated businesses in Carterton will be able submit an application to the fund, giving them the opportunity to tell their story of how COVID-19 has affected them and how the grant will help keep their business going.

The fund was set up

by Carterton District

Carterton residents have been doing a fantastic job of supporting local.

Council’s Chief Executive Jane Davis, who decided to give up 10 per cent of her salary for the next year towards the fund.

Davis said the decision to forgo part of her salary and make it available for small businesses was one that in the current circumstances was important for her to make, to show her support for the Carterton community in a personal way.

The move was praised

by Mayor Greg Lang, who encourages business owners to not be shy about applying for a grant.

“It’s great to see so many of our local businesses back up and running again in Level 2, but we know the effects of several weeks without generating any income has hit them hard,” Lang said.

The fund administered by the council would be opened up to allow additional funding contributions.

“Carterton residents have been doing a fantastic job of supporting local,” Lang said. “We

also know there are other organisations and community groups out there who want to contribute in other ways, so we are opening up the grant fund to allow them to contribute.”

• Application forms can be found at https:// cdc.govt.nz/yourdistrict/community/ community-funding/ Application forms and enquiries about contributing to the fund can be emailed to carolyn@cdc.govt.nz

“We didn’t know what to expect, but business is going really well,” Ray White realtor, Karen Gardner said.

She indicated that they had multi-offers on properties, and listings coming in, and although there was possibly a levelling price-wise, they found an attitude of positivity worked well.

The proximity to Wellington was going to change the dynamic as people wanted to work remotely and they were being pro-active, and had adapted.

AT 3 Mile Coworking Community, a client said that there had been five or six people working there that day and he thought that many people were making use of the office space and avoiding the commute to Wellington.

He was cautiously optimistic, but said that May and June were traditionally their worst months, and a lot of work was being deferred, due to Covid-19, as people were concerned about having workmen in their home.

Never forget their sacrifice Lisa Urbani If you spent any time queuing at the supermarket during the covid-19 lockdown, then you will understand what a chore it was, waiting your turn, and then shopping with haste, so as not to hold others up.

Masterton’s Returned Services Association [RSA] President, Trevor Thompson, who served as a Combat Engineer Instructor during his time in the Army, did so many times, to assist some of the 270 veterans in Masterton, who required aid with shopping and meals, and deliveries of medication.

For Alan Wadsworth who served in Malaya, “it was a great help”.

“Trevor calls in regularly, at least twice a week and does things for me, I am very grateful, he is very kind, and nothing is too much trouble.”

He also appreciated the meals that were made

by Ambassador Caterers’ Tweet Bird – also a veteran from the Vietnam conflict - and had special praise for the biscuits prepared by Tweet’s grandchildren.

Tweet’s response was modest.

“It’s quite simple, veterans helping veterans, we are there to support each other.”

Having prepared several hundred meals, volunteers were required to help deliver them.

Two of the volunteers were Flight-Sergeant Michelle Novak of the Royal New Zealand Airforce [RNZAF], and her partner, WingCommander Bernadette Potham who is retiring from the army.

They were motivated to offer their assistance, knowing that ANZAC Day could not be held as usual due to the covid-19 situation, and that, “it might be a lonely time for veterans who were unable to connect socially”.

“The RSA is struggling, not having been able to have Poppy Day, but Tweet was amazing, and it was

“There are some in their 90’s and we made some great friendships.”

Trevor Thompson’s daughter Jolene Newberry, and her husband Nick, also took the opportunity to contribute with financial support, sponsoring ten meals a week.

“With dad being in the army, I’ve always been around vets and army life, and dad instilled it in us to do the right thing – to look for the opportunity to get stuck in.

“Often, we get so consumed by our own

‘busyness’ and get stuck in our own world.

“Life is tough for some people and I couldn’t help everyone, but I could do this.

“It was important over lockdown to look after our neighbours.”

Trevor was immensely grateful to the neighbours and families of veterans, who helped them during the covid-19 lockdown.

Without the Poppy Day appeal, donations for the welfare fund, which provides financial assistance to veterans, were not forthcoming.

Fortunately, some members of the community have not forgotten their sacrifices.

The Wairarapa Boxing Academy donated several hundred dollars, as did ‘Joe D’ who hosted a Karaoke in the Street fundraiser.

As we have done for a number of years, the Wairarapa Times Age were delighted to hand over a cheque to the RSA. The cheque presented was a percentage of the proceeds from the sale of the Wairarapa Times-Age Anzac Day feature.

“Sometimes veterans need monetary help with the necessities of life like hearing aids and glasses, and the funds are used to soften the blow of financial hardship”, Trevor said.

“They have served their country and the RSA is there to provide service to them.”

Visiting is valuable as a morale booster for people who are not able to get out and about.

“I enjoy going to see them, there are some awesome guys among them – like Epineha “Pine” Ratapu who joined the Maori Battalion at 16 and is their last-surviving member.

“He only ever wants some watercress for a boil -up.

“They have become my friends.”

STICKMAN’S WEEKLY SPECIALS

40 Hour Famine sacrifice for Malawi New Zealand’s largest youth fundraising event, the World Vision 40 Hour Famine, is back for its 45th year, with more than 1500 Wellington students set to take on a challenge or give something up – and it’s all in the name of supporting climate vulnerable communities in Malawi.

Spread across 40 hours from Friday to Sunday, in all 90,000 New Zealand youth are expected to take part and raise much-needed funds for the people of Malawi who are experiencing the chaos caused by extreme weather events, like droughts, cyclones and floods, that are resulting in food shortages, hunger and malnutrition. On top of this, COVID-19 has brought with it added pressure for these communities.

This year, five Kiwi Youth Ambassadors – Izaac Wilson, Jess McLennan, Alyssa Wilson, Daniel Rickman and Hayley Gotlieb – are championing the 40 Hour Famine, having travelled to Malawi in late 2019 to meet some of those who will benefit from the efforts of everyone taking part; children, families, schools and farmers who’ve been impacted by extreme weather events.

“I don’t think there was really any one moment when it just clicked for me that ‘this is the reality of living in Malawi in 2020’, but it has sunk in a little more every single day since I’ve been back in

New Zealand,” McLennan said.

“It’s in the everyday moments that I think about everyone I met and what I saw in Malawi, like when I look at my mum cooking dinner and think to myself: I wonder if Prisca’s mum has enough food to cook meals for her kids today?

“I know that every single person who signs up for the 40 Hour Famine, and the money they raise, will help create real and actual change for the climate vulnerable Malawians who need it most.”

World Vision New Zealand National Director Grant Bayldon said, “as the world shifts, the challenges Malawians face remain – and this means now, more than ever, we need to do all we can to fight hunger and injustice.

“This is our chance to show the world what great global neighbours we can be.

The people of Malawi are facing a twin crisis, as they struggle with the impacts of climate change, and they face the added pressures of COVID-19. They need our support more than ever.”

Money raised in the 2020 40 Hour Famine will make a difference by providing schools and farmers with seeds for crops, watering systems and goats so the people of Malawi can build resilient and sustainable farming, and reduce the impact of climate change on their communities.

This important work will

also ensure they’re able to better cope with external factors out of their control, be it extreme weather events or a new virulent virus.

A lot of Malawians are subsistence farmers who rely entirely on what they can grow to survive.

One bad yield, due to drought or flooding, can mean the difference between life and death, and children going to bed hungry.

Right now, climate vulnerable communities are facing food shortages, hunger and malnutrition.

World Vision is working with communities in Malawi to help them adapt to and mitigate extreme weather conditions, so their human rights are safeguarded and realised.

Those who take part can choose their own challenge or select something to give up – like going without transport, furniture or technology – and ask people to support their efforts by donating genrously.

Since it started, in 1975, the New Zealand 40 Hour Famine has raised more than $80 million and brought hope to thousands of children living in poverty in more than 40 countries.

More than three million New Zealanders have participated in the 40 Hour Famine since it began.

Slow down for safe driving Post the covid-19 lockdown, most of us had to get used to driving again and making sure we were concentrating, as we had become used to empty roads on our rare forays to the shops.

For young drivers the risks are even greater, with 95 young drivers, aged 16 to 24, involved in fatal crashes in 2018.

Also in 2018, 632 drivers aged 16 to 24 were involved in serious injury crashes.

Students Against Dangerous Driving [SADD], aims to make teenagers on the road aware about road safety, and to support and guide junior college peers who haven’t started to drive yet, so when they get behind the wheel they can be safe.

Solway College student, Samantha Peters, who is in Year 13, said she joined SADD to be “part of a group of like-minded students who want to make a difference for youth who are embarking on what can be the most dangerous activity they will undertake.

I also understand the ripple effect that there is in the community when someone you know and love is lost on the road,” she said.

I also understand the ripple effect that there is in the community when someone you know and love is lost on the road.

For years New Zealand has waged a war on drink driving, and there have been significant improvements in youth drink driving culture.

A study conducted by the AA research foundation found that between 2009-2014 there was a 62 per cent decline in youth drink driving and an 84 per cent decline in youth repeat drink driving.

The speed you drive affects all road users [drivers, pedestrians, cyclists] and in 2018, speed was a factor in almost 50 per cent of fatal and injury crashes involving a driver under the age of 25.

It has also been a factor in over 25,000 crashes since 2014.

National SADD Leaders with former North Island Coordinator Alex Drummond. Wairarapa Student, James Graham, from Chanel College is on the far left. Inset: A Toyota Land Cruiser driven by a teenager rolled on Upper Waingawa Rd on January 6. No one was injured.

We live in a culture of driving fast, overtaking, and thinking “she’ll be right”, but just a 5 per cent reduction in your

speed is equal to a 10 per cent decrease in crashes.

Texting is another factor in causing accidents, and paying attention to possible risks, and anticipating how to respond to them, is very important.

Driving to the conditions and getting

more experienced at driving is helpful in preventing road accidents.

SADD has a valuable role to play in creating road safety awareness through sharing options and strategies to reduce risk on the road.

Regular meetings and supporting National

SADD road safety campaigns in schools, encourages other students to get educated about the risks.

National Road Safety Week focuses on ‘the fatal five’ – speed, distractions, driving to the conditions, alcohol and restraints.

Initiatives by road safety partners such as Automobile Association, Police, Compass Health and Wairarapa Road Safety Council are supported by SADD and there are opportunities to become National SADD ambassadors and gain skills for student/youth led social ‘change’.

“I really enjoy being part of SADD, not just for the difference we are trying to make in our community but also because of the friendships we make, and I would encourage any students to get involved with SADD,” said Samantha.

Positive attitudes helpful David Famularo For the residents at Heritage Lifecare Roseneath, the most challenging part of the Covid-19 lockdown was not being able to see their families or go on their regular outings.

That’s where Diversional Therapist Ann Wilson came into her own.

“I was really conscious of trying to keep the residents

in contact with their families, to keep them motivated and focused and spread positivity,” Ann says.

As well as organising regular Skype calls, phone calls and email messages, Ann made Easter and ANZAC themed photo frames for pictures of residents to send to their loved ones.

accumulated three boxes of food and goodies.

Group activities such as Bingo and Crossword competitions still went ahead with everyone sitting at separate tables and maintaining physical distancing.

“Despite its challenges I’ve found the experience very rewarding and I’ve had some lovely feedback from families,” Ann says.

Going green for World Environment Day Lisa Urbani

In celebration of becoming the Green Party’s candidate for Wairarapa, Celia WadeBrown, is having a ‘World Environment Day’ [June 5], weeding and planting day, on the public riverbank next to her Wairarapa property – ‘Duntulm Farm’.

Her plan is to revegetate the riverbank with native trees, shrubs and grasses, some of which she has been propagating from seeds.

“It will be good for the birds and lizards, and it’s in keeping with the United Nations 2020 Biodiversity theme.”

address environmental issues.

In recent times there have been bushfires in

Brazil, the United States and Australia, and locust infestations in East Africa, and now the global

coronavirus pandemic has demonstrated the fragility of the link between humans, and the animal and plant world.

It is hoped that a global recognition of the environmental challenges will lead to positive change.

For example, individuals can think about the way they consume, businesses can create greener models and farmers and manufacturers can produce more sustainably.

Governments can also protect wild reserves, and we can educate ourselves to live in harmony with nature and preserve the earth’s treasures for future generations.

After the weeding and planting on Celia’s farm,

which borders the Tararaua National Park, those participating are invited to enjoy a walk on the farm tracks, which lead up to views of Mt Holdsworth and the Wairarapa plains.

Celia asked that anyone wanting to do their bit for the environment, respond on the Wairarapa Greens Facebook page, to facilitate organising enough trees and shrubs.

“If anyone can’t make it, I encourage them to plant a native tree at home.”

GARDEN

WITH CALLISTEMONS Commonly known as Bottle Brush, this family has beautiful flowers that the Tui’s love. “Little John & Better John" are compact dwarf growers perfect for small gardens or pots; “Kings Park Special” grows to around 3m and “Rocky Rambler” grows to around half a metre high and wide and gives shelter to small wildlife such as lizards.

Make The Most Of The Prime Planting Time Although the ‘Hot & Dry’ season is behind us, I’m sure many of you haven’t forgotten how hard this summer was on our gardens, especially with water bans in place. It’s very important to plan the placing of plants so they are happy with their conditions and have the best chance to thrive.

Hot & Dry spots can be deadly to plants if they are not suited to that environment. If you have an area like this then come and see us now—it’s the ideal time for planting and you should make the most of the selection available now before they sell out. strength mix of Ocean Grow (partially decomposed plant The ‘Family Proteaceae’ This family includes a range of Proteas, Leucadendrons & Banksias from South Africa, Australia. These plants are extremely tough but there’s things you can do to give them the best chance in becoming big, strong bushy shrubs with vibrant colour such as: Ensure Good Drainage Plants from the Proteaceae family, plus others mentioned on this page, will tolerate most soils from sandy through to clay but the drainage must be good.

An acid soil with low nutrient value is preferred. Scoria (a volcanic rock), gypsum (a natural calcium sulfate) and a few handfuls of peat moss

remains) will help create the optimum growing soil.

may perk them up when applied in autumn.

Choose A Sun Drenched Spot These plants love sun! For the first summer they should be watered once a week, but after that all they really need is the moisture from morning dew. This makes them ideal for Wairarapa drought & beach spots.

Give Them Air Another reason they’re ideal for coastal plantings is because they love to have wind blowing around them. Staking at planting is wise to help them until established—they have very tender roots so doing it later isn’t advised.

Don’t Feed Them Phosphates & nitrates are found in most garden manures but these are not good for this group of plants, so restrain from fertilising. If you have older plants then a slow release native fertiliser such as Scott’s Osmocote for Natives or a half-

BANKSIAS Mostly endemic to Australia and named after Sir Joseph Banks who spotted them while travelling with Captain Cook in 1770. There are groundcovers through to huge 30m trees. Their flowers are very enticing to birdlife.

Nurture Their Roots This family of plants are very shallow rooted so take care when planting and be careful when working around the area.

Topping the soil with bark nuggets will give protection and looks good too.

included, nasturtiums, onion leaves, apples, a quince, fennel and some berries, all of which were enough to create a delicious salad.

Our ancestors were hunter gatherers, and throughout the different seasons, there is food to be found.

It’s a fun family activity to be outdoors in nature, getting healthy exercise and learning about nature.

However, there are some things to remember when foraging.

• Only pick and eat something you are completely 100 per cent sure is edible, especially mushrooms, which can be poisonous.

• Always ask permission before helping yourself on someone else’s property.

• Do not pick anything near roadsides, or industrial sites as often they have been sprayed with pesticides.

• Wear gloves to protect you from thorns or sharp branches and stinging plants (in particular be aware of the toxic giant hogweed) • If foraging at the coast, take note of weather conditions and tides, and take care on slippery rocks.

• Edibles near riverbanks may be contaminated from farming practices so be alert to those possibilities too.

• Also, adhere to the one third rule, taking only a third of an edible plant so that some may be left for others, and some is available for regeneration.

NZ Post Office Building Carterton.

Iwi trust purchase NZ Post building Karen Coltman Ngati Kahungunu ki Wairarapa Trust has purchased the former Carterton Post Office.

The Trust paid $525,000 for the main street building out of funds it received in advance of the pending Treaty of Waitangi Settlement for Ngati Kahungunu ki Wairarapa.

The trust has a board of 12 and an investment arm with five members.

Marama Tuuta is on both bodies and said because NZ Post was a state owned enterprise, the iwi had first option to buy the building when it declared it wanted to sell.

“We are not looking to use it as an office for the trust, but it is good to have an iwi presence in town,” Tuuta said. “We’re just working out what tenants will suit the site.”

The iwi trust is in discussion with a designer to get concept drawings to improve the building.

Tuuta confirmed it was also talking with senior management at the Carterton District Council about the building’s use.

The building was constructed in the 1950s.

NZ Post has operated from Take Note since February last year.

The iwi trust has negotiated a $93 million treaty settlement with the Crown but this is on hold until Wairarapa Moana Trust, Ngai Tumupuhia-a-Rangi hapu, Te Hika o Papauma and Ngati Hinewaka talk further with the settlement trust about ongoing contentious matters.

This was directed by the Treaty of Waitangi Tribunal following treaty claims in addition to what had been negotiated.

Health matters

Stay well this winter Winter is now here with the usual rounds of winter colds and illness, along with the ongoing risk of COVID-19.

Here are some ways to help keep you and your family well during the colder months: • Get a flu vaccination – it won’t protect you against COVID-19 but it will help to avoid getting the flu. Vaccinations are available at medical centres and some pharmacies.

• Keep active – plan some exercise into each day. It will help you to stay warm and give you more energy. It’s also great for reducing stress and lifting your mood.

• Stay warm – keep your home warm and at an even temperature during the day.

Check that children are wearing coats and covered shoes if they walk to school.

• Stock up on regular medication – always have a week’s supply on hand. Make sure you have a ready supply of asthma inhalers, including some at work and at school.

• Boost your immune system – help your natural ‘body armour’ by eating lots of fruit and vegetables and getting plenty of sleep.

• Avoid smoking – contact your medical centre or pharmacy, or call Quitline on 0800 778 778 for support to stop.

Keep washing your hands!

As the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted, regular handwashing is one of the best ways to avoid infectious illnesses. Wash hands with soap for at least 20 seconds and dry them thoroughly afterwards.

Clean surfaces that are touched often, such as door handles and kitchen benches.

UNWELL OR INJURED?

Where should I be?

Top tips for treating coughs and colds • Stay home to avoid spreading germs.

• Rest up and drink plenty of water.

• Take paracetamol for mild pain or fever.

• Sip lemon and honey drinks to help soothe coughs and sore throats.

• Have a hot shower – the steam will help with congestion and aching muscles.

• Cover coughs and sneezes, and put used tissues straight into the bin.

Contact your medical centre if you’re having problems breathing or if you’ve been sick for more than a week.

MIDWEEK PHOTOS

Opinion

Beware ‘Leopard Mum’ My children - now young adults - used to tease me and call me ‘Leopard Mum’.

Since we come from Africa originally, ‘Tiger Mum’ was not applicable.

I make no secret of being protective of my cubs, perhaps in their estimation, overly so sometimes, but I am older and wiser, and did for a long time inhabit a crimeinfested country where being vigilant and alert were part of my DNA. Being robbed at gunpoint and coming from a long line of family members who were in medically-related fields probably did not help matters either.

As a journalist I also heard and saw many scary things that made me even more conscious of danger.

When we came to live in New Zealand, my boys, developed a great love for exciting outdoor adventures – hunting, tramping, exploring the bush, mountaineering, and rock climbing.

I studied information about going out in the New

When they went on expeditions I nagged them to be careful and tell me their route, and phone me, and text me, and send photos if they could, and take the personal locator beacon we got for them, and maybe leave a trail of breadcrumbs too if they could - just in case.

If my arthritic knees had allowed, I would have shadowed them secretly – but probably noisily – through the bush – or stealthily like a leopard, in my mind.

Eventually I learned to relax and accept that this was something they really love doing, and it was a wonderful, healthy pursuit

for two robust young men, enjoying all the beauty of the New Zealand bush.

I decided to have faith that my boys know what they are doing, that they are careful and don’t take unnecessary risks, that they do let me know how they are doing when they can, by sharing beautiful pictures of their travels.

(I too have been to Mitre Peak if you count seeing the photos.)

I am so glad for the two young trampers who were safely found, and thankful for the sterling efforts of the rescue teams.

Their parents and families must have been through hell, and I felt for them as a parent.

Letting our children go off and have adventures is hard, as I always tell my children, “someday you will understand.”

Which shop in the Wairarapa is your favourite and why?

Bedazzled by Little Jewels

Extra

Gay Butler Friends of Aratoi Now that we are in level 2 and able to meet, the Friends of Aratoi committee have picked up their disrupted programme by planning their 2020 Little Jewels exhibition.

Reminiscing about her first encounter with Little Jewels, Megan Slight, deputy chairwoman of Friends of Aratoi, said: “It was six years ago that I was introduced to the popular and intriguing Little Jewels fundraiser at Aratoi.

“Having always enjoyed art and with an interest in history, I wanted to find a way to support our local Museum and Gallery.

Little Jewels seemed an opportunity to do this and at the same time buy art by an established or emerging

artist who had donated an unsigned canvas to the gallery.

“The Little Jewels opening night proved to be a festive occasion. As they do now, Friends of Aratoi hosted an excited crowd filled with anticipation.

Working together with Be Collective After a period of hibernation, we are all emerging out into the world once more. Level 2 is a big step closer to normal.

Many of us are adjusting to changes and looking to establish a new ‘business as usual’ while still keeping safe. With the continuing low cases of covid-19 people are eager to look to the future, but it’s important to retain the lessons we learned and take the opportunity to build for the future.

Over the period of lockdown, keeping in touch was a big concern.

People were feeling isolated while remote working or just locked down at home. Zoom and other video conferencing got a good workout, as people tried out virtual meetings and other ways of collaborating and socialising online.

At Volunteering Wairarapa we had weekly Zoom meetings with other

The next biennial Little Jewels will open on November 6 this year.

That seems a long way off, but there is a lot to do: contacting artists and distributing canvasses, ensuring our artists have time to complete their works, hanging the exhibition, and organising the opening night.

Needless to say, Friends of Aratoi are extremely grateful to the artists who support this important fundraiser for Aratoi by giving their time and talent.

is an online volunteering platform and Volunteering Wairarapa is working with them to build our new volunteering portal.

It’s free for volunteers and groups, and allows for tangible partnerships between groups in an online space.

Be Collective has benefits for everyone.

Volunteers have one on-line place to see and apply for opportunities that tracks all of their volunteering and gives them a ‘social CV’ that provides a record of what they’ve done and skills they’ve developed and used. Groups have better tools to manage their volunteering opportunities, share resources or documents, manage volunteers, and get a report of their community impact through the platform.

VW will be the same as we have been – a central location for volunteering, partnered

with local groups to make volunteering easy and we will always have real people available to talk to for support and advice.

We think this is a great opportunity for us all to become more connected and build resilience. We hope people will come along with us.

Shadow to fall on moon Sky Watch

Nick Sault This Saturday there is an unusual partial penumbral eclipse of the moon.

That’s a bit of a mouthful, and I’ll explain below.

It will happen Saturday morning, just before the full moon sets in the southwest. So, it might be tough getting up before 6am, especially if it is cold, but it would be good to get your observational comment.

Just before 6am, Earth’s penumbral shadow begins to pass across the moon, and gets to cover half the moon at around 7.30, shortly before the moon dips over the horizon.

The shadow is obviously cast by the sun, which will be behind the opposite horizon, not due to

rise for some time.

What you should see is the moon start to dim from the skyward side.

You may not notice anything until around 6.20, when about a quarter of the moon will have the shadow on it. So, what is it?

During a lunar eclipse, Earth is blotting out some of the sunlight reaching the moon. It casts a smaller, more intense, cone shaped shadow called the umbra, which all but extinguishes the moon.

During umbra often the only light reaching the moon is Earth’s own sunlit light and can look quite creepy.

Unfortunately, this is not going to happen this time.

The penumbra is a more diffuse part of

the Earth’s shadow.

It is when the sun is not directly behind the Earth and only part of its light passes around the Earth.

Of course, the lunar eclipse happens at full moon, so this week the moon will dominate the night sky, dimming out most of the less bright stars.

However, it is a good opportunity to pinpoint the brighter stars in the sky, as they become more emphasised.

So, if we say 7pm, try to find a dark place where you can see most of the sky.

Let’s start in the west, where Sirius the big dog star, and brightest in the sky, sits above that horizon.

Turning anticlockwise towards the south and slightly higher in the sky is the second brightest star, Canopus.

Keep slowly turning again to the southeast and higher still in the sky is the third brightest star, Alpha Centauri (also the nearest star visible to the naked eye).

Almost due east is the red star Antares in the very recognisable scorpion. Keep turning and above the northeast

horizon is the bright start Arcturus, the fourth brightest star.

Keep going past north and Regulus, in the foot of the lion, appears in the northwest.

Finally, just before you get back to the west, there is Procyon in the little dog.

• Next week: Gaia and the galaxy.

18 Wairarapa Midweek Lifestyle Wednesday, June 3, 2020 PEEK @ PUKAHA

Putting the quacks back Dear friends, Ironic that at around the same time the delayed duck hunting season began, Pūkaha had just helped to place rare ducks into the wild.

Different breeds, but a chillingly poignant reminder that not all ducks are equal. Nor are they treated as such, indicating the influence and outcomes that humans can have over other species that inhabit their planet.

With no Martin Luther King in the duck world, it’s food for thought.

Today though, let’s talk about the ducks we are putting back.

The brown teal is a New Zealand native brown duck that is commonly referred to as pāteke in Māori.

To the average person it may look very similar to a female mallard duck.

This introduced species is

A female brown teal or pateke with ducklings.

PHOTO/TARA SWAN

the normal everyday duck that we see at a park, in the stream, on the lake or crossing the road leading a line of ducklings.

The brown duck has similar markings and looks similar, only it’s not this duck. It’s much browner in colour and is identifiable by a white ring around its eye.

Relatively rare, the brown teal’s conservation status is listed as ‘at-risk: recovering’. This means the species is fragile and has a

small population size that is building but still at-risk of decline.

In the year 2000 the plight of pāteke was dire with only an estimated 700 in the wild. Today it is estimated there are around 2500.

Pūkaha has been helping with wild population growth by breeding pāteke for release. Our two breeding pairs have enabled 11 brown teals to go free this season.

The last three of these

got stuck in their own lockdown at Pūkaha due to covid-19 but were finally able to be released – along with 46 other brown teals – on May 19.

The mass release happened in one of only two South Island pāteke sites in Abel Tasman National Park.

Nice to put some rare ducks back. But the work to restore a species is

never done.

Predation from mustelids, habitat loss and the potential of getting shot through mis-identification by some hunters mean the conservation of pāteke is ongoing.

But get this. In prehuman times, pāteke were once thought to be the most numerous and widespread of New Zealand’s waterfowl.

Food for thought indeed.

Until next week, The Pūkaha Rangers Contributed by Alex Wall • The Wairarapa Midweek has partnered with Pukaha National Wildlife Centre to put a spotlight on wildlife conservation efforts locally and allow readers to get up close and personal with New Zealand’s amazing native species.

Theory of Cultural Cognition Malcolm Gladwell’s book, “The Tipping Point”, poses this question: If you take a large piece of paper and fold it in half then half again and again until you’ve refolded it 50 times (assuming that it is possible to do this) then how high is the stack of folded paper?

Most of us will create a mental picture and envisage a stack maybe the thickness of a large book, or perhaps something about a metre high, maybe even the height of a fridge. In fact, the height of the stack would reach to the sun.

And, what would the height be after one more fold? The distance to the sun and back.

We’re not very good at exponential progressions.

The SARS-CoV-2 virus can’t exist for long without a host nor can it spread by itself.

For that, it’s relying on you.

PHOTO/STOCK.ADOBE.COM

Comment

Mike Osborne We tend to think in linear fashion.

When a virus spreads in its early phases it does so at an exponential rate. What seem like low numbers of little concern can very quickly accelerate.

We perceive risk through a set of filters that can be described by the theory of Cultural Cognition.

Have you noticed that some people accept the covid-19 risk as serious and are prepared to accept the duress of

restrictions and economic impacts imposed by the government? Then there are others who see the risk as low, covid-19 no more than a heavy flu and the deaths as a blip mostly from people with co-morbidities or old age whose approaching death has simply been brought forward.

This second group is a lot more sceptical of government interventions especially ones that adversely impact business

and the economy.

According to Cultural Cognition we perceive risks in relation to our personal values and worldview.

How is it that the scientifically proven evidence of the efficacy of vaccinations or the link between manmade greenhouse gases and global warming can have such varying acceptance or rejection by the public at large?

The Cultural Cognition researchers were puzzled – the more knowledgeable people became about the science of a subject, the more their views diverged if new evidence challenged their beliefs. In short, we mostly back our personal view, our own worldview,

over science.

We dig in, and the “backfire effect” (bit. ly/BackEffect) can get triggered.

It’s 2020, we are extremely advanced in terms of science and technology but ultimately we are slaves to so-called common sense.

“Common sense”, as described by Einstein, being “the collection of prejudices acquired by the age of eighteen.”

The SARS-CoV-2 virus has no heart, no brain, and cares not a jot about our worldview.

It can’t exist for long without a host nor can it spread by itself. For that, it’s relying on you.

Enliven’s Kandahar Court provides holistic care Staff at Enliven’s Kandahar Court use an holistic approach to ensuring all residents who have dementia feel safe, comfortable and enjoy where they live.

Dementia is one of New Zealand’s most significant and growing healthcare challenges. Almost 70,000 New Zealanders have dementia and that number is expected to almost triple by 2050.

In Masterton, Enliven operates the specialised dementia care home Kandahar Court. The staff at Kandahar Court take every opportunity to ensure the residents have companionship, spontaneity, fun and meaningful activity.

Enliven Trainer and Recreation Advisor Davina Solomon says an holistic approach to dementia care can help the residents retain a sense of self and feel valued.

These approaches can range from the way staff members communicate with residents, to creating familiar environments to enable a resident to feel calm.

Davina says the way a question is framed can change the way someone with dementia will respond to it.

“We’ll use specific wording to enable a resident to understand a question. For example we’ll ask ‘may I offer you a hot drink?’ rather than ‘Would you like a hot drink?’.”

The power of boredom

4. Make it satisfying – use a bookmark that shows the progress you are making through the book.

After a period of time you will have formed the habit of reading more.

The process will be slow at first, but it will get to the point in which it is something that you just do, and by doing so your life will be enriched.

Be curious

Midweek Musings

Tim Nelson Enliven’s Kandahar Court offers an holistic approach to dementia care.

She says the slight change of wording usually invites a resident to consider their response, rather than immediately saying no.

Davina says it’s important that the rest homes are warm and welcoming places for the residents.

“People often think of rest homes – in particular dementia or hospital units – as cold clinical places, but Enliven homes are proof that it doesn’t have to be this way.”

Kandahar Court features a family-style kitchen area that is homely and welcoming for the residents.

Enliven’s Kandahar Court in Lansdowne, Masterton offers specialised dementia care. To find out more about the home’s elder-centred philosophy, visit www. enlivencentral.org.nz. You can also call the home directly on 06 370 0449.

James Clear discusses the power of boredom in his book Atomic Habits.

He says that to be truly successful we need to be okay with being bored at times, as it’s impossible to be constantly motivated at a high level.

He gives the example of a weight lifting coach he met who, when Clear asked what it takes to become a successful lifter, the coach answered that the athlete needs to be okay with boredom, often doing the same routines and lifts day after day, with little variation as the small improvements are made.

For just about any new interest or goal we begin there is always the excitement of starting as we think about what it will mean if and when we achieve it.

The beginning will also be the time in which we see quick improvements as we start as an absolute beginner. However, soon afterwards the novelty wears off, the gains don’t seem so obvious and we can get a little bored.

This is the time in which we need to persevere, knowing that sticking with the goal or habit will lead to success, as opposed to giving up and trying something new, then going through exactly the same routine again.

To be successful we need to understand that there will be times when things can get a little boring, this is just a step on the journey to achieving your goals.

Why Eliud Kipchoge keeps getting better Eluid Kipchoge is the

greatest marathon runner of all time. He is the world record holder and last year he also became the first person to run the marathon distance in less than two hours, a feat that many had thought was impossible to do.

The success that Kipchoge has achieved hasn’t come by accident, talent or effort (although talent and effort are key components – especially, in my view, effort), there’s another step that he takes, this being to keep a journal and reflect daily on what he has done well and what

Party Vote Green

could be done better.

This constant reflection helps him to identify the small improvements that can be made, with a whole lot of these small improvements accumulating to take him to the very top of the marathon running tree.

The process that Kipchoge takes with his reflection journal can be applied to anything we do: parenting; teaching; learning an instrument; gardening – in fact, in any area in life that we want to improve in.

A reminder about changing habits

Having just finished reading the book Atomic Habits by James Clear, this is a good time to have a look at the key messages, these being on forming good habits and stopping bad habits. Essentially to achieve each objective you will need to do as follows: To form and maintain a good habit it will need to be obvious, attractive, easy and satisfying.

To stop or prevent a bad habit it will need to be invisible, unattractive, hard and unsatisfying.

These two strategies look very simplistic, but simplistic is often the best approach when it comes to getting things done.

Take the example of building the positive habit of reading more: 1. Make it easy – leave the book you want to read next to the chair where you drink your morning cup of coffee.

2. Make it attractive – Choose a book that you are interested in reading.

3. Make it easy – Read only a page a day.

This morning I finished the book Atomic Habits, written by James Clear.

I can’t recommend the book highly enough. I have now listened to the audio version and read the hard copy. It’s a book I will read again and again. I’ll also encourage others to read it, as I’m doing right now with this post.

Reading Atomic Habits I have agreed with everything shared by Clear.

However, reading the last section today I came across the subheading ‘being curious is more important than being smart’.

Here I do disagree, but only slightly, with the author. My perspective is that being curious makes you smart. Curiosity helps us to find things out, and as we find things out our knowledge increases, therefore making us smarter.

Spotting the obvious

There have been numerous times in history in which there have been

23

discoveries made but they have not been fully and widely implemented.

An example given in the book Anti-Fragile is the wheel.

Even after the discovery it wasn’t fully utilised, with one example given by the author Nassim Taleb being how the wheel was used on children’s toys in Mayan culture, while at the same time they instead used the blood, sweat and tears of people to build their pyramids, overlooking how something that was already known about could have been so beneficial.

Taleb goes on to give the more modern example of the wheeled suitcase; for a very long time travellers lugged large suitcases through airports, often looking for trolleys with wheels on them, yet the idea of a wheeled suitcase eluded us, despite the obvious need.

To me this suggests that there are many opportunities that are right in front of us that are there to be implemented.

These may not be physical objects, such as suitcases with wheels; they could instead be experiences. For example, a town could have the perfect landscape for a beautiful off-road cycle network ... it just needs someone to notice how it could be done, then the process can be put in place to make it happen.

A place where change is possible

Farm Environment Plans have come out on top as the best way for vegetable and fruit growers to manage their environmental impact and at the same time, provide evidence to regulators.

That’s the finding of independent research called Joining the Dots, conducted by Agrilink NZ and New Zealand Good Agricultural Practice for the New Zealand horticulture industry.

Horticulture New Zealand sustainability and extension manager Ailsa Robertson said the research is exactly what the industry has needed to support the use of Farm Environment Plans.

In summary, Joining the Dots shows how critical elements are interlinked – from problem recognition to research, guidelines, implementation, reporting, and assurance. Farm Environment Plans are a tool for growers to assess environmental risks of their growing operations, decide appropriate actions and timeframes to address those risks, and collate evidence of good management practice.

Environment Canterbury has formally endorsed the use of Farm Environment Plans as a key environmental riskmanagement tool that helps farmers recognise and manage on-farm environmental risks.

Acting ECan chief executive Stefanie Rixecker said it’s all about action on the ground and continuous improvement.

Auckland Council’s Healthy Waters team attended Farm Environment Plan workshops run by HortNZ and Vegetables New Zealand in Pukekohe in 2019. At the workshops, Healthy Waters staff reiterated the importance of developing robust Farm Environment Plans to document the good work that growers are doing, and to show continuous improvement.

They also pointed out the value of audited Farm Environment Plans in their provision of good management practice evidence, when it comes to submissions on regional plan changes or when growers are applying for resource consents.

HortNZ is working with Healthy Waters to ensure audited Farm Environment Plans can count in regional plan change decisions.

Agrilink NZ managing director Andrew Barber said Joining the Dots highlights that Farm Environment Plans are one component of a whole system designed to drive continual environmental improvement.

‘Farm Environment Plans are the previous missing link that bridges the gap between industry dissemination and implementation.’

NZGAP manager Damien Farrelly says that Joining the Dots provides a brilliant overview of how the horticulture industry is using the GAP assurance framework to link environmental science, research and best practice into one comprehensive but accessible system for growers.

• For growers wanting to know more about GAP Farm Environment Plans, contact NZGAP at nzgap@hortnz.co.nz or Ailsa Robertson at ailsa.robertson@hortnz. co.nz

Buying? Selling? Think

Masterton recruitment agencies are busy as job seekers walk through the door and employers are phoning seeking staff.

Most of the jobs available are manual labour jobs but include jobs with the big Wairarapa food producers.

Traffic control jobs are also on the books.

Kiwi Recruitment Wairarapa manager Tayla Clingan said there was still a Wairarapa-wide shortage of trained digger operators and heavy truck drivers. There is a vacancy for an accountant, two personal assistants and a few administration jobs to be filled. Jobs more commonly held by temporary immigrant seasonal workers for example are increasingly available.

Clingan said business was picking up and “getting back to normal” with office jobs being filled as well.

Manager of Drake New Zealand Masterton branch Steph Burling said she’s “flat out”.

She ran the agency from home during lockdown as an essential service, filling essential service staff vacancies.

When she reopened the office on May 18, she held candidate interviews from 9am to 3pm.

“Forty more people are on the books since before the covid-19 crisis,” Burling said. “We’ve had people

preparing for job loss and others wanting change.”

Monday’s earthquake resulted in more calls from people wanting to work in Wairarapa.

Burling said people that commute from Wairarapa towns to work in Wellington are weighing up their lifestyle and travel time after the health crisis.

“For people not keen on commuting to Wellington anymore it is a good time to think about diversifying skills and to look at something different.”

But Burling said for employers to attract a professional changing careers they would be wise to offer careers not just jobs.

“Offering on-the-job training and a career is attractive to someone entering a job,” she said.

“If companies don’t offer this, they can end up with high staff turnover because of low job satisfaction and this means making extra

training investments over time.

“It does pay off to invest in the staff you have recruited.”

This week she has been approached by an employer seeking an accountant and another looking for a diesel mechanic.

“We have professionals looking for something different with some interested in being traffic controllers or even joining a factory team. Things are changing all the time and it is an interesting time to be in recruitment.”

Gary McIlwrick was recruited by Drake for Pope & Gray Contractors in Greytown where he worked for a year. He is ready for a new job and he walked into Drake to get on the books again.

“I’m keen to get going,” McIlwrick said. “I am really open to all sorts of jobs. I can stay overnight and out of town if necessary. I’m work ready”.

Wai Write

Perils of the bubble of one Tom and Jane were a happily married couple whose family had left the nest to settle overseas.

When covid-19 struck and the country went into lockdown Jane decided she had better form a bubble with her mother, who was elderly and did not keep the best of health. This meant that her isolation was some miles from Tom, who would form his own bubble of one in the family home.

Jane had a part-time job at the local school while Tom worked in the city, so Jane invariably looked after the meal preparation.

She was conscious of the health of the family which was reflected in her choice of ingredients and the method of cooking. Before she left to join her mother she prepared some meals and placed them in the fridge for Tom. Tom was an early riser to enable him to put in an hour at the gym on the way to work.

With no gym being open during lockdown he could see no reason to rise early, and as he had no plan in place his day consisted mainly of rising late, reading the newspaper and online magazines, doing the bare minimum of housework, watching TV and going to bed late.

This was interspersed

her. After some heated words she issued an ultimatum. Unless he curbed his gluttonous ways she would leave him and stay living with her mother.

She then visited the supermarket and stocked the fridge and pantry with vegetables, fruit and sufficient basic condiments to enable Tom to prepare simple healthy meals.

She pointed him to the drawer containing her massive supply of cook books. Then she prepared a plan of action including household chores, work in the garden and the completion of a DIY job he had started last year.

As Jane drove back to her mother’s house Tom took a good hard look at his indolence. He decided that prudence was necessary for his own comfort, health and future happiness.

with irregular visits to the pantry or fridge.

The prepared meals lasted until covid-19 level 4 was imposed. This meant Tom had to make regular visits to the supermarket so he could eat.

Lambert lands US scholarship Hockey

Chris Cogdale Former St Matthew’s Collegiate hockey star Poppy Lambert has scored an athletics scholarship with the University of Maine.

The four-year deal to study and play hockey — or field hockey as it is known in the United States — for the UMaine Black Bears is a dream come true for Lambert, who was also a promising tennis player before deciding to concentrate on hockey at the age of 16.

Lambert played five seasons in the St Matthew’s First XI, winning two Wellington Premier Secondary Schoolgirl Championships with the team in 2017 and 2018.

Lambert, who will turn 19 in two weeks, said her time in the St Matt’s top team was the best way to prepare for the next step in her hockey career.

“The opportunity I had to develop my skills, literally from Year Nine, just always made me driven and wanting to get better,” she said.

“Phil Hall, our coach, was also the best coach and mentor that I ever experienced — so supportive, knowledgeable and he went absolutely above and beyond for the team and to help me reach my potential.”

Lambert’s talent was recognised with her selection in the Capital side which finished fourth at the 2019 National Under-18 championship.

That selection was just reward for Lambert after

DOG REGISTRATION FEES AND IMPOUNDING 2020-21 Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the provisions of the Dog Control Act 1996, the following fees all including GST have been fixed for the registration year 1 July 2020 - 30 June 2021.

DOG CONTROL FEES Rural Owner

Poppy Lambert … wins scholarship to play hockey at Maine University.

a broken collar bone had prevented her playing for the 2018 team.

The Black Bears play in the America East conference in NCAA Division One and Lambert expected a similar level of competition as age group tournaments in New Zealand.

“I’ve been told it’s about the same level as our national Under-18 to Under-21 leagues and that it’s a competitive conference,” she said.

“We train twice a day, with strength and fitness in the morning, and a more hockey-focused training in the afternoon. During the season, there will be one or two games a week.”

“It also involves quite a few interstate games, but that might be changed a little and the programme could be curtailed because of covid-19.”

“We get fully kitted out with every new piece of equipment we could ever want. We also have the likes of nutritionists, trainers, and tutors solely for our team,” Lambert said.

Lambert will take up the scholarship in early August but intends to travel to the United States in late July.

“Maine is quite safe in terms of what is happening in the US, so I will go over a bit earlier in case I have to self-isolate. The pre-season starts on August 11, and university studies start in September,” she said.

Lambert is also eager to get stuck into her study for a Bachelor of Science in Economics. She said there were some strict requirements.

“We get specific schedules based around our sports schedules to make it easier to balance sports and studies, and we have compulsory student study hours.

“To stay playing on the team, we have to keep our grades up. I’m not 100 per cent sure, but my scholarship means I have to keep my grade points average above 3.3, which is pretty much a combination of merit and excellence in NCEA terms.”

Before Lambert departs for the US, she wants to play some games, possibly for Dalefield in the Wellington Premier League.

“I’m planning to get some game time under my belt.

I just want to get back into it.”

Rugby back on menu Rugby Chris Cogdale A nine-week-long Wairarapa-Bush premier club championship will kick-off on July 4.

The competition will consist of a full round of matches followed by semifinals, and the final set for August 29.

Clubs will play preseason games on the weekends of June 20 and 27.

Although NZ Rugby guidelines signalled that community play could start from June 20, Wai-Bush union chief executive officer Tony Hargood confirmed that the Council of Clubs agreed to the later start date at a meeting last Wednesday night.

“Most clubs wanted a four-week lead-in, and this worked in well, giving the clubs the chance to play a couple of pre-season games,” he said.

Defending Tui Cup champions Martinborough,

Greytown, Carterton, Gladstone, Marist, East Coast, Eketahuna, and Pioneer, who return after a two-year absence from the top division, make up the premier championship.

With four teams to have four home games and the other four to have three home games, the fixtures will be determined by a random draw.

Hargood said that the teams who receive three home games would be allocated an extra home game in the organised round of pre-season games on June 27.

After the completion of the seven rounds, the top four teams qualify for the semifinals.

The Council of Clubs will confirm on June 10 which trophy, the Tui Cup or Moose Kapene Cup, will be presented to the champion side. The bottom four will contest the playoffs for the Hodder-Steffert Cup. “There are a number of competition rules that will

need to be changed to cover off a unique season as there will be only one round,” Hargood said.

“The clubs have indicated they will take a proactive and positive approach to any final recommendations.”

Hargood said with finals to be played on August 29, there would be time for some representative games in September and October.

That could feature games for the Bruce Steel Memorial Cup against Horowhenua-Kapiti and Wanganui. A match against Poverty Bay for the Jeremy David Memorial Trophy, and a fixture with East Coast are other possibilities.

The senior reserve club competition will also get under way on July 4, with entries to close on June 10.

Hargood confirmed JAB [junior] and college grade rugby would be played over 10 weeks in school term three.
