The Ultimate Weekend for women is back!

Over 160 companies will be under one roof for one weekend. Featuring lots of new companies and everything from active wear, fashion and accessories to giftware, fantastic food and wine, crafts, unique businesses, beauty and so much more, do not leave your eftpos card at home!

It’s great on the weekend to see all the various women visit the show, from teenagers to business women, mothers to grandmothers and friends simply enjoying each other’s company”.

Gifts for across the seas

BY GERALD FORD

A Masterton family is set to fly some Wairarapa generosity to Fiji.

The Crouchers – dad Jesse, mum Lisa and children Jack, 8, and Bridie, 7, are heading to Vutia, the village Jesse comes from, on a family holiday this month.

With some help from their school community at St Patrick’s School and several local businesses, the family is looking to supply a gift package to benefit the village’s school – along with a second school and an orphanage, in Suva and Nadi respectively.

St Patrick’s School has donated hundreds of school journals and other secondhand books. “We are sharing the books between 2 schools - Annesley Methodist School in Suva who had their library damaged in the recent cyclone and flood and also to Vutia District School, Rewa,� Mrs Croucher said. “Every kid in that school is going to get pencils, felts and a ruler. “You can only access the village of Vutia by water and the school was lucky enough to recently receive enough funding to buy a newer boat to collect children that live around the village and get them to school.�

Mrs Croucher said the need in these places is high, even without floods, and Wairarapa people have been generous in sharing what they have with others. “We’re not all millionaires, but compared to a lot of people, we’re doing all right,� she said.

St Patrick’s School is holding a bake sale, and the family a garage sale, to raise funds to take excess baggage on their journey.

Some of the donations: For the orphanage, a Masterton

Practising for a test Ford Every Stream

Gerald Ford

BY GERALD FORD So I watched the test on Saturday night. Interesting, isn’t it, that I can use those two words, “the test”, and 95 per cent of you know exactly what the mean?

As a side note, did you know that 29 per cent of all statistics are made up on the spot?

I was once a bit confused about tests as they applied to rugby.

I remembered asking Dad, “But it’s not that important, is it?

It’s only a test.”

To my young brain, a test was something you did before the main thing – you know, just to make sure everything was working properly.

But no, a test was an international match, much more important than a non-test.

I still think they’ve got it backwards.

Logically the Lions have been having their tests against the provinces to warm up for the main event against the All Blacks – but I guess it’s too well established a phrase to change it now.

It’s somewhat like the practices of doctors, lawyers and accountants. You’d think with all that practising, they’d be ready to do it for real by now.

So now we’re all clear on what a test is, what did you think of it?

Is it wrong to have been hoping for a Lions win? Does that make me unpatriotic?

I didn’t have any money on the game or anything, but it struck me that an equalizer would be a win-win (that pun was unintentional) for everybody.

The Lions would feel their tour was worth it, their fans would love it, and it would give both teams something to play for this weekend.

As a family we watched the game at my parents’ place, with our daughters stayed up to watch the game – well, most of it.

Sent to bed 14 minutes into the second half I was feeling guilty after the first try so I snuck in to tell them about it - and then to urge them to go to sleep (‘But how can we?’ one asked).

By the time the second try was scored and there were only 12 minutes left of play I asked Dad to pause and rewind (thanks, My Sky) – so they could get back up watch it, and the rest of the game.

Tries are what rugby is all about, after all.

And that’s another weird linguistic thing.

While he’s busy playing his test that’s not just a test, a rugby player dreams of getting a try that’s more than just a good try.

All thirty players on the field, plus the subs, had a try, but only two of them got a try.

It’s all very trying, or should that be testing?

I hope you liked the column this week, but just in case you didn’t, I have a good excuse.

I can claim this one is only a test.

Trees celebrated Children from an early childhood centre in Greytown gave back to their community last week by planting a pear tree in Stella Bull Park.

Teacher Sian Paterson from Blue School said the tree planting capped off a three-month project of learning about trees.

The children regularly visit native bush and visited Fantail Grove, and observed olive harvesting and, at nearby JR’s Orchards, watched the journey of apples from growing through packaging and on to supermarkets. They also studied things that could be made with wood.

The planting of the pear tree was “a beautiful symbolic end to the project,” Miss Paterson said.

“We wanted to give back to the community where their learning took place.”

Greytown Lions and Greytown Community Board were also involved and Greytown Community Board chairwoman Leigh Hay officiated.

Tommy Reid-Cooper and while Ailish Murphy from Blue School early childhood centre planted a golden pear tree planting in Stella Bull Park, Greytown.

Wairarapa Midweek

Not your average brunch

5

BY GERALD FORD

Rural students from the Masterton district combined in Masterton last Thursday for some hands-on learning that included a touch of gourmet cooking.

The year 7 and 8 pupils travelled from Opaki, Wainuioru, Whareama and Tinui schools and divided into four groups which are rotating through different activities during four trips to town over the winter terms.

The activities are squash and gymnastics, Chinese art (part of a Mandarin language and culture course) a technology challenge that includes film-making, and the Ucol option which has instruction in cooking as well as a visit to the Fab Lab. Chef lecturer Kiri Macdonald had the young chefs cooking cloud eggs with bacon roses and filo parcels.

The dishes used bacon donated by Premier Bacon and free range eggs donated

by Wairarapa eggs.

“I wanted to just use a simple local product to create something,” Ms Macdonald said.

“They’ve done a fantastic job, very creative. They were self-motivated and just got on with it.”

Supervisor Spencer Pallister, a deputy principal at Opaki School.

Mr Pallister said the programme was “a good way for the kids to get to know each other, and mix a bit” with a wider group.

“It’s nice to see them in a different environment, they couldn’t do this at school, we don’t have the facilities. They really enjoy it; they rise to the occasion.”

Rural Wairarapa school pupils gathered at Ucol for some top chef training with chef lecturer Kiri Macdonald, (centre back, obscured).

Pukaha head retires

Featherston’s two names recognised

BY DON FARMER The woman who has been at the helm of the national wildlife centre Pukaha Mount Bruce for the past four years has resigned to pursue other interests.

Helen Tickner, the centre’s general manager, will leave in August and the Pukaha board is to advertise her position.

Mrs Tickner said she is proud of what has been achieved during her tenure.

These include the installation of new toilets and wastewater facilities, the building of a Free Flight Aviary and being involved with the transfer of management for Pukaha from the Department of Conservation to the Pukaha board.

She has played a major role in restoration work and the intensification of predator control within the reserve.

This has seen the introduction of new technology such as Good Nature re-setting predator traps.

There has also been a full review done

of the Pukaha Restoration Project and Buffer Zone Programme.

Board chairman Bob Francis has thanked Mrs Tickner for her “hard work and successful guidance.”

“We are so appreciative of the work Helen has put in and successes she has achieved during her time as general manager and we wish her well,” he said.

The Maori name for Featherston — Paetumokai — was not forgotten at yesterday’s South Wairarapa District Council meeting.

The council resolved to support the formal naming of Featherston as proposed by the Featherston Ratepayers and Resident’s Association (FRRA).

In FRRA’s application to the New Zealand Geographic Board, as tabled in the SWDC agenda, the group stated that “there is no Maori name” for Featherston.

Paora Ammunson corrected this statement, saying Paetumokai was the name “for the area roughly the Featherston township is on”.

Pip Maynard asked to hear Maori Standing Committee deputy chairman Michael Roera’s views, before supporting the proposal.

Mr Roera said the committee had “no problem with it”.

“We find it very amusing that Featherston has been there so long with no legal identification.”

Dayle Harwood said the town would be one of the few localities in New Zealand with its name formally introduced.

According to SWDC documents, the settlement of Featherston began with Henry Burling, who ran cattle near Morrisons Bush.

But Mr Ammunson disputed this, saying “humans have lived in the area known as Featherston prior to Henry Burling”.

Colin Olds commended Featherston resident Perry Cameron for getting “the ball rolling” with his efforts to formalise the name Lake Ferry, which became official last year.

Majestic climb in Taranaki

BY STEPHANIE FOOTE, MASTERTON TRAMPING CLUB The Pouakai Crossing is a 19km trail through Egmont National Park, now being heralded as the country’s newest ‘great walk’, as it ascends the heights of both Mt Taranaki and the Pouakai Ranges by way of dramatic vistas and landscapes.

We started on the Friday evening heading for Stratford for the night. Thanks to Daphne for hosting us for the night then it was off to meet the rest of the group.

Day One:

After introductions and a group photo our party of seven left from the Kaiauai carpark at 9.15am.

The sky was clear with no wind and the perfect winter sun.

It started as a gentle climb with a shallow stream crossing.

We were treated to the occasional glimpse of the mountain through the bush and heard fantails, tui and the flapping wings of a woodpigeon.

We stopped for lunch before tackling the lovely Henry peak which seemed like neverending steps and occasional ladders.

At the summit, we could see Mt Taranaki in all its glory.

We then made our way down Henry, around the base of Maud peak and on to the Pouakai track, reaching the Pouakai tarns about 4.30pm.

We set up the tents about 150m from the tarn, had dinner at the viewing platform and sat for about three hours watching the sunset and the stars come out, with other photographers who had climbed a shorter track.

It was a truly majestic sight with perfect viewing conditions.

Day Two:

Up early with a slight drizzle, we had breakfast and packed up the gear and headed to Pouakai Hut to re-stock our water and use the toilet.

We were pleased to have camped out as the hut and campsite had 70+ stay there the night before.

We next headed out to Holly Hut taking our time along and down the Ahukawakawa track, passing through the swamp along boardwalks and enjoying the views along the way, except when my boot went in knee deep in mud.

We made it to Holly Hut for lunch, after which we ditched our packs for an afternoon walk to Bells falls.

Back at the hut we managed to dry some of our gear out, and sleep in bunks for the night.

Day Three:

After hearing rain fall throughout the

PHOTOS/SUPPLIED

night, I knew we were in for a wet walk out, so I layered up with merino and we set off.

This part of the trip was the most challenging mentally for me as I was overanalysing my steps as the rocks were wet and mossy and the wooden steps were slippery and a majority of the track had surface flooding. We had to negotiate a few rocky valleys such as the boomerang slip.

We finally made it to the razorback for the descent down to the north Egmont visitors centre carpark.

I had tears of joy. We had made it!

I’m truly grateful for every person in the Masterton Tramping Club that came on the trip, for all your experience and knowledge and support when I needed it.Members were Stephanie, Tracy, Jason, Barry, Paul, Mike, and Laura.

• The Masterton Tramping Club meets at the Community Centre, 41 Perry Street, at 7.30pm on the first Wednesday of each month, except January.

Tyre Kickers

By Alice Stewart

Tyre kickers is a term from the car sales industry - that might be somewhat obvious! It refers to “buyers” who come around, ask an awful lots of questions, invariably pass unhelpful and negative comments (kick the tyres!) then leave without buying anything.

There is no such thing as a tyre kicker in Real Estate. If your Salesperson refers to a potential buyer as a tyre kicker, they simply haven’t done their job in qualifying the buyer properly. It’s sheer laziness or ineptitude to paint someone as a tyre kicker. Sure, there are buyers who turn-up at Open Homes who screw-up there noses as if someone’s just done a bottom burp, ask inane questions like ‘do the door mats come with the house’ and invariably they do their own version of Darryl Kerrigan from The Castle and respond to the price with “They’re dreaming”!

I was horrified when I attended a competitor’s Open Home in

Featherston (I am often looking at properties to purchase) and I was told along with the rest of the Open Home attendees “If you’re interested in the property you’ll call me”. No, no, no, no. Not best practice and definitely not good buyer/customer care. A Salesperson who can not and will not engage with a potential buyer, find out what their property needs and wants are, answer their questions and overcome their objections, has no right to be called a Salesperson, let alone a Real Estate Salesperson.

By the way, last year a buyer/customer I had been looking after for eight years finally purchased one of my listings. As difficult as they were, they were never tyre kickers, they were simply researching the market until just the right property came along.

These migrants would bring a protective armed force that the aggressors from the Musket War do not wish to engage.

By association, Maori would be safe in body and mind. So Wairarapa Maori pledged allegiance to the Queen.

Peace is a matter of having a settled mind too. The fear associated with possible terrorism can cause changes in behaviour and anxiety. Our minds, as New Zealanders, have some sympathy for Londoners and the prospect of terrorism they face.

Our anxieties in a relatively safer space still can be unsettled. In our communities there are whanau or families who are overcoming the idea that they have a deficit applied to them by others and even worse a deficit these whanau apply to themselves.

I live in a neighbourhood that has been identified as a deprivation level 10, the worst level of deprivation. We are concentrating on bringing peace to our lives.

McJorrow Park is a physical change that has moved from equipment in four corners of a park to a park that our community planned and shaped.

Now as we come together around a relaxing space, for a moment we share peace.

More community-led plans are coming to our suburb for that peace to be more than a moment and progressing to a lifestyle.

The tenets of a community connected positively to each other can be applied in all suburbs. Peace then is found in an enduring manner.

I was challenged by a woman recently to recognise the heritage of peace we have as Wairarapa people.

A place that is famous throughout New Zealand for peace is Parihaka and during this month, this part of the country has been celebrating an apology from the government as a part of their cultural redress that is connected to their Treaty of Waitangi settlement.

The peace runners came through Masterton recently and it was decided to meet these runners at the peace monument.

Did you know Masterton has a peace monument?

It celebrates peace from 1839. Yes, a year before the Treaty of Waitangi was signed.

The Maori people of Wairarapa were returning from being refugees during the Musket War. Peace was not just an absence of war, peace was also about having secure thinking.

In 1839 iwi were determined to be a part of a peaceful province, a peaceful process and a peaceful people, so they wanted European settlers to come to Wairarapa to lease our land.

My friend asked me to write about The Budget.

When asked her why she said that she was a bit disappointed. Not with the outcome of the Budget, but with people’s reaction to it.

It seems that everybody wants more, without taking into account our country’s financials. We talked about the ‘it is my right’ mentality, but concluded that we have all been tarred with that brush. After all, who doesn’t love a tax cut?

Taking to other Canadian friends, it seems that that country also has more ‘handouts’ than ‘hand-ups’.

What we are doing is just robbing Peter to pay Paul. With our country’s immense debt, we are just borrowing from our children - they are the ones to repay that debt later on!

My friends seem to be in favour of a ‘living wage’; when you work, you get paid well. Enough to look after yourself and save for the future.

No subsidy, no benefit. But that is assuming you can work. It is never a simple as it looks. I am thankful the NZ Budget is not my responsibility.

Yet it is good to think about budgeting.

Do you have one?

Are you living within your means or do you have a blow-out each month?

Do you realize that you are only stealing from yourself if you overspent, rake up credit card or personal debt?

All you do is borrow from your future to pay the present! Is there a way you can cut spending?

Do you overspend on ‘wants’ and have no money for ‘needs’? Our mind has a cunning way to convince ourselves that our wants are our needs, but smoking, drinking, gaming, eating out, fancy cars, wardrobes, TVs, or cell phones — all are wants that become needs.

And if they contribute towards your overall debt, then you are stealing from yourself.

Because at some stage you have to go without to pay for your pleasure.

And you will pay anything up from 15 per cent more for the privilege!

A good way to start is to write down everything you spend for a month.

Keep on living normally, but every time you spent money, keep the docket, write it on a piece of paper in your wallet and track your expenses.

Categorize them as you wish; food, clothing, housing, transport are the obvious ones. Then be more specific about the categories above as ‘wants’.

Split them out so you can see what goes where. You may be in for a nasty surprise!

Jolly good fellows awarded Activities for June This year Lions Clubs celebrate and recognise the forethought of Melvin Jones who founded The Association of Lions Clubs International 100 years ago on June 17, 1917.

There are now more than 1.44 million members spread throughout 210 countries.

Carterton and Carterton Central Lions Clubs recently held their Change of Officers function together at Club Carterton.

Representatives from other Wairarapa Lions Clubs attended.

The theme was 100 years of Lionism throughout the world.

Carterton Lions Club recognised the outstanding service of two of their members, John Rose and Peter Little, with Melvin Jones Fellow Awards. This award is the highest form of recognition and embodies humanitarian ideas consistent with the nature and purpose of Lionism.

The two new wave seats in the very centre of Carterton has been a club project in conjunction with Carterton District Council.

The seats were commissioned to be made in memory of Lion Ian Renall and the many community volunteers of Carterton.

Club president John McNamara had the privilege of unveiling Mr Renall’s seat, with Mabel Smith unveiling the other one for the

Masterton Holdsworth Lions Club were chosen to be part of the “Good in the Hood’ programme run at the Z Chapel Street Service Station during May. Along with Wairarapa Search and Rescue, Community Patrol, Masterton Foodbank, the Club shared the $4000 that was available by receiving votes from the customers.

The Club received $432 which has gone to finish paying for the installation of the Water Fountain at the KIDSOWN Playground.

The Club’s branch Wairarapa Ruamahanga Club has now 20+ members and they are in the process of chartering the Club as a full Lions Club with Lions Club International.

Carterton Central Lions Club continue with making soup in the winter for District Nurses to distribute to their patients.

This is very much appreciated.

Craft materials have been collected from members and given to the local playcentre.

The firewood raffle held recently was well supported by the community.

Greytown Lions are raising funds to buy two ViMo (Vitality in Motion) chairs designed and built by Greytown engineer Peter Thompson.

These wheelchairs revolutionise access to rough terrain for their users.

ViMo all-terrain chairs have already traversed the Abel Tasman Track and the Alps 2 Ocean Cycle Trail.

The club plans to buy two, valued at $2000 each, for the Greytown community.

Masterton Host Waipoua Lions Club held their Change Over meeting on June 20.

A new board of directors were installed by Past District Governor Selwyn Tomlin.

The club also hosted the 2017 District 202M Lions Young Speechmakers contest.

The contest is designed to determine the best young speechmaker in the District who will then go forward to the National finals later in the year.

Prize for the national winner is a 4-6 week visit to the United States and Canada where he/she will be hosted by Lions Clubs.

The event was held at Rathkeale College where 10 students from the Hawkes Bay to Wellington area competed. Winner was Dannevirke High School student Laurie Carr.

Featherston Lioness Club members have attended Lioness/Lions change of officers meetings, all varied with the entertainment varied too.

GARDEN

YARN DOUG’S TIPS • Buy new roses and plant them with plenty of well-rotted compost. You get the best selection of roses on sale in winter and the early birds get both the best choice and the best plants.

• If planting a rose where another one has been growing, swap at least a bucketful of the soil, and preferably much more, with some from a rose-free part of your garden.

• You can plant a potted chrysanthemum outside once it has ÿ nished ° owering.

It’s best to harden your plant o˜ ÿ rst by putting it in a sheltered place like a covered patio for several days, especially in frosty areas. Then the plant can start adjusting to cooler outside temperatures before it has to cope with the full e˜ ects of winter.

• Prune hydrangeas by cutting out very old wood and heading back younger wood that has ° owered.

Leave un° owered stems uncut.

TIME TO PLANT Bok Choi Broad Bean Cabbage Garlic Lettuce Mesclun Mizuna Mushroom Onion Radish Rhubarb Rocket Shallot Silverbeet The above refers to planting in the garden from seedlings, bulbs or tubers. If sowing from seed, allow about a month for seedlings to appear and reach a growth stage equivalent to the ready-bought seedling.

MOLLY’S WHITE

NEW MOON - July 23RD 2017 FULL MOON - July 9TH 2017

In the midst of winter the hellebores (winter roses) begin their ° owering; and what a wonderful species of plants they are. The most common variety found is Helleborus orientalis. This species occurs in an array of colours from white, cream and softyellow to pinks and deep maroon to almost black. Spotted, non-spotted, round of petal, nodding, or slightly uplifted – all are beautiful, and the more you look at them, the more you want. All winter roses are easily grown in the Wairarapa. It is mainly Helleborus orientalis that has been used for breeding the lovely double-° owered forms.

or with low growing shrubs which like similar conditions, such as the beautifully fragrant Daphne. An open situation with good air circulation will reduce the incidence Much of the appeal of hellebores lies with their delightful ° oral display which begins in winter of diseases, particularly in warm humid and continues throughout spring. They’re also northern districts. long lived, and of course their easy care nature Cut back old foliage completely in late appeals to busy modern gardeners. Another autumn to help keep deciduous varieties reason for their popularity in this country is the free from disease. This will also enable you to array of wonderful hybrids developed by local enjoy their beautiful ° owers to the full in the plant breeders. months to follow.

Helleborus niger is the ÿ rst species to ° ower and is a snowmelt plant in its native European Southern and Central Alps; pushing its way through the snow on the open north-facing limestone slopes. In garden conditions, it ° owers at least a month earlier than other varieties and seems to do best in light rich soil with some shelter, but with a good deal of sun. The variety ‘White Magic’ is a NZ grown plant originating in the garden of Pat Stuart in Wanaka. Whichever hellebore you have or choose to grow, all are lovely, all ° ower in the coldest wintery months and most generally set seed well, and soon establish colonies around the parent plant.

Most hellebores perform best in partial shade during summer, but they like plenty of light in winter. Too much shade will result in tall lanky plants. Deciduous trees therefore, provide the ideal canopy. Plant them as a groundcover in the foreground of rhododendrons and camellias or around deciduous trees such as ° owering cherries,

THE PERFECT ADDITION TO THE WINTER GARDEN

TUTU

MOON CALENDAR

PENNYS PINK

Feed well with organic material (compost, sheep pellets, blood and bone) and lime in autumn. Too much fertilizer can result in excessive leaf growth and poor ° owering, but sheep pellets and fertilizers high in potassium (such as rose fertilizers) applied just before new growth emerges in autumn will improve the abundance and colour of ° owers.

It is vital to plant in free draining soil, and they often do particularly well on banks.

When hellebores perform poorly, the most common cause is waterlogging. Mulching with organic materials such as pine bark is beneÿ cial where soils are free draining. As with hydrangeas, when picking winter roses, choose only fully mature stems, otherwise they will nod almost immediately.

July 9TH to 11TH are days ideal for sowing edible sprouts as there will be quick germination with a rapid growth spurt. Avoid planting other crops as growth will be weak and spindly.

July 12TH & 13TH are two days to sow all root crops such as garlic, onions, shallots and radishes.

Treating behaviour problems in dogs

Winter comforts.

Finding fun this winter

Heidi Ward-McGrath BVSc

Treating behaviour problems in dogs Behavioural problems cause more euthanasia requests than any other problem in dogs. It is a serious health issue that needs empathy and action to save 1 in 10 dogs in NZ. Problems that are frequently encountered are barking, rushing, predator behaviour, separation anxiety, biting and destructive behaviour.

Sole Food

Shirley Nightingale

In our veterinary clinic, we focus on starting puppies off on the right foot with puppy preschool classes and early socialisation.

Many behavioural issues can be easily and quickly remedied with a behavioural consultation, remedial training classes and behavioural modification.

Breed – Many dog breeds have a high energy level and need frequent exercise. Failure to address this “breed need” for exercise can be the trigger for other breed related behavioural problems.

Is your dog annoying you with their behaviour?

1. Seek professional help early – before patterns are set.

2. Are they getting enough exercise? If not, consider dog daycare, dog walk clubs or hiring a dog walker.

3. Is their diet appropriate? Nutritional deficiencies can be linked with problem behaviour. Essential fatty acids, play an important role in the dog’s body. The dog is a natural carnivore/omnivore and many studies link a happy dog with access to a balanced diet including meat.

4. Try a treat ball – treat balls can be loaded with treats that fall out at a variable time frame when the dog plays with them. This provides interest and stimulation whilst an owner is away at work.

5. Company – most dogs prefer having another dog to interact with. Dogs who sit alone all day waiting for an owner to come home are more likely to exhibit negative behaviour. No one likes to be lonely. Provide interesting opportunities for your pet to learn and grow.

PHOTO/GETTY IMAGES

As a responsible owner, it is important to provide an interesting and stimulating environment for your pet.

Getting out and about, walking, smelling new smells and investigating new areas is fun for your dog.

Owners who find their pet behaving in a negative or undesirable way should recognise negative patterns early and address them.

Tying your dog up, restricting their access to other pets and people does nothing to alleviate negative behaviour in the long run. This can cause frustration, desperation, aggression and an escalation of behavioural problems.

It takes time, effort and interest to train your dog.

Early intervention and retraining of the owner and the dog can lead to a much happier long-term relationship.

DOG GROOMING SPECIAL ZOOM GROOM

It seems to me that this time of year is extremely boring – we have had all the Lions and America’s Cup excitement and there is nothing much else to grab us.

There was so little on the box and on the net that I started looking for mad shoes online again. Now that’s a worry, especially as the bank balance is a bit on the low side at the moment.

So I pulled myself together and sat down to write this.

Yes, the weather is miserable, wet, rainy and freezing cold and what is up with all that fog?

Yes, the days are really, really short and I leave the library after work in the dark, feed the pets in the dark and get in the wood in the dark…

Hmm, there must be some positives.

Well, it must be killing off the wasps and other nasty bitey things like mosquitoes, the days will start getting longer now, having the woodburner going is quite fun and when it is a nice, bright day with a blue sky it is a great feeling.

There, feeling better already.

The Oversew Fashion Awards on July 22 is a bright light on the horizon and another thing is the school holidays.

My kids are getting really tired and snappy so it will be good for them to have a bit of a rest, even if they will still be on

devices most of the time.

There’s a few things going on for them in the holidays as well to get them away from computers.

Aratoi is putting on some good things, as well as MATS boot camp.

We have a couple of sessions at Martinborough Library including robot making, decoupage and stage makeup.

There is also the Winter Reading Programme that all the libraries are running.

Now that is worth doing as its free, only requires reading some books then drawing a picture or doing a review and coming in to show a librarian.

There are prizes and a party at the end if you finish.

It has already started and is running until August 4.

We have the Eastern & Central Community Trust to thank for providing such a great programme.

If you haven’t joined your local library yet, then pop in and say hello, it is quick and easy to join.

Take some ID and within no time at all you will be taking home books, DVDs or magazines.

We have had a really quiet couple of weeks in our library apart from the Lions fans passing through (what a great bunch).

However the school holidays are always busy – we love having the kids in the library and one thing we can say is that it is never boring in the holidays.

Now, let’s put some more wood on the fire and get to looking at shoes online again.

Hope you all get through the next few weeks finding lots to do while we wait for spring and the longer, sunnier days.

Painting restored The 12th Gottfried Lindauer painting for the Te Marae o Rongotake exhibition — a portrait of Huru Te Hiaro recently restored by a conservator at Te Papa - arrives at Aratoi Museum yesterday. Ian Perry, right, helps Paora Tibble of Te Papa bring the painting in, as Ben Manuhonga looks on and the painting is welcomed with a haka from students from Wairarapa College.

HEALTH

MATTERS

AVOID FALLS THIS WINTER

Bowel screening programme launches Wairarapa is one of the ÿrst regions to get the new national bowel screening programme. The free service checks for early signs of bowel cancer.

Slips, trips and falls are a major cause of injury at all times of the year, but are particularly bad during winter.

FAST FACTS n Regular bowel screening can save lives by finding cancer early when it can often be successfully treated. n New Zealand has one of the highest rates of bowel cancer in the world. n The bowel screening programme is being offered to people aged 60-74 living in Wairarapa. n A screening kit and information will be sent out to eligible people during the first two years of the programme. n The test can be done at home and is simple to do. n The test involves collecting a sample and putting it in a tube.

All of the information you need to do the test is included in the pack. n The programme will be ongoing for eligible people, with screening available every two years. n More than 8,700 Wairarapa residents will be invited to use the service during the first two years of the programme.

Family Doctor After Hours Service

Here are some tips for staying on your feet this winter:

n It’s estimated that up to 20 cancers may be detected in the first two years of screening in our region.

For queries or to get more information, phone 0800 924 432 or visit bowelscreening.health.govt.nz or talk to your medical centre.

Meet our Blackie

Blackie is a lovely boy who is looking for a new home. Despite being a lovable character, his one failing is that he’s not good with young children, but teenagers are OK. He also loves dogs.

Blackie likes being outdoors most of the time but is also happy cuddling and smooching with his owner and chilling out watching TV. Don’t give this boy catnip though as he goes a bit crazy!

Blackie is 3 to 4 years old and is desexed, vaccinated, microchipped and up-to-date

with flea and worming treatment. His adoption fee is $80.

• If you are interested in this handsome boy call Lee at KittyCat Rehoming on 021 0843 8935 or email kittycatrehoming@gmail.com • KittyCat Rehoming Wairarapa is a non-profit initiative based in Featherston that works to find loving homes for stray and abandoned cats and assists owners in difficult circumstances to rehome their cats.

WAIRARAPA You have problems with a tradesman?

What can you do?

Many people don’t know that any work done by tradesmen or other service providers for ordinary personal or household use is covered by the Consumers Guarantees Act. This means that unless you have a firm quote you must only pay a reasonable price, and the work must be completed within a reasonable time.

If you have a contract, read it carefully, both you and the service provider must comply with the contract.

Under the Consumer Guarantees Act for services you have some recourse if the conditions are not met.

If the problem is minor, you should ask the provider to remedy the fault first.

If the provider is unable to do this you can cancel the contract and pay a reduced price for the work done so far.

You can also get another provider to do the work properly and claim the costs from the defaulting provider.

If the problem is more serious, then it is possible to cancel the contract for services and claim all of your money back.

If some of the work is satisfactory, or the materials supplied are suitable, you have the option of claiming a partial refund.

It is always a good idea to talk with the provider and try to find an amicable solution first.

It may be that an event occurs that is outside the supplier’s control, or a third party may have done something, or failed to do something.

In this case the supplier is not liable for a failure to complete the work satisfactorily.

This is like the “Act of God” clause which is common in most contracts.

A useful website to clarify this matter is https://www.consumerprotection.govt.nz or you can call on us.

Where do the minutes go?

Soapbox Mike Osborne If you’re a member of an incorporated society you’ll know that the peak experience is the AGM. I participated in one recently.

Matters got off to a great start with approval of the minutes of the previous AGM. These were nowhere to be seen; maybe, like homework, a dog had eaten them.

Discussion ensued about how little discussion there had been at the previous AGM which explained the rather scant nature of said minutes although there was further debate as to the whereabouts and attendance numbers of that AGM - but it turned out that was a different meeting.

Consensus was that the absent minutes were indeed a true and accurate record and probably somewhere.

A recurrent theme was two boisterous boy dogs mid lounge wanting to do what is more properly conducted between dogs of opposite sex.

The financial report presented turned out to be for the wrong period. No problem, the correct report would be produced tout de suite.

What to do? First up, discuss why the correct time for dental appointments is always two-thirty. That lead into, ‘Two birds standing on a perch. One says, “Do I smell fish?” ‘.

We didn’t quite get to ponder, “what’s

WHERE IN THE WORLD

orange and sounds like a parrot?” as the relevant numbers arrived.

With the numbers properly scrutinised it was crunch time.

Specks on the ceiling became fascinating, as did patterns in the carpet, the doggy antics, anything to avoid eye contact as we moved into election of officers and the committee.

The president rolled over, so to speak, but ever innovative, the group came up with two secretaries - a minutes secretary and a correspondence secretary, similarly two treasurers with split roles and, voila, already the committee was five.

Filling the rest was achieved by allowing adjunct members who could seagull with no voting rights.

The intercourse was punctuated with nibbles; corn chips, broccoli dip, salami,

cashew nuts, dried cranberries (attend an AGM and deal to free-radicals), cheese twists and santé biscuits.

The broccoli dip was to die for - creamy, garlicky and colon-friendly.

The recipe? Not mine. Blanch and drain a head of broccoli florets, buzz in a food processor with a cup of mayonnaise, six crushed cloves of garlic, smatterings of paprika, chilli and cumin to taste.

The General Business was, well, general yet specific covering the past, present and future and, ultimately, a date set for the first committee meeting.

New Zealand leads the world in volunteering with 157 million unpaid hours of work. Why do we do it? Just part of being a kiwi.

Oh yeah, a carrot.

… is Midweek this week? It’s not quite a Midweek, but close enough.

Masterton resident Douglas Maclachlan is catching up with the Estonian edition of the news at Narva, northeastern Estonia. Narva, 95% Russian, is the main Estonian border town with Russia and is about 140km from St Petersburg.

That’s Russia across the Narva River in the background. After a week in Germany at an industry conference Doug has been on a three-week road trip around Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania with a side visit to Helsinki before returning home via the US East Coast.

To take part in this feature, simply pack a Midweek front page next time you’re heading on holiday. Find a distinctively local background for your photo and send it to us at Where in the World is Midweek, PO Box 445, Masterton, or email jpegs to gerald.ford@age.co.nz.

7 reasons you should visit Africa in 2017.

There’s nowhere quite like it!

BY ANNA SARJEANT - HOUSE OF TRAVEL

#1 Raw natural beauty and

unlimited landscapes

You could climb Africa’s highest mountain, Tanzania’s famed Mount Kilimanjaro, or cruise along Zambia’s Upper Zambezi River which fronts the formidable Victoria Falls. You could come face-to-face with the thunderous Victoria Falls of Zimbabwe, or jostle with the sprawling bumpy plains of the Serengeti in Tanzania. Wherever you are in Africa, you are presented with a glorious mass of natural beauty and jaw dropping landscapes. Think it’s all found in the vast swathes of desert? Think again.

Cape Town is one of the most visually stunning cities gracing our globe.

HIGHLIGHT: BOURKE’S LUCK POTHOLES IN SOUTH AFRICA ARE AS PHOTOGENIC AS THEY ARE FASCINATING.

#2 Every corner is different From Marrakesh’s medina in Morocco to the great Lake Malawi, you won’t find a more diverse terrain than the African continent. In one instance you could be basking on a glorious talcum-white beach (hello Mauritius!) and two days later you could be climbing through the carcasses of a hundred eerie shipwrecks on Namibia’s Skeleton Coast. Next minute you’re on safari, and a day later you’re in the ghost town of Gedi: abandoned in the 13th century due to cannibalism, it now boasts a picturesque medley of deserted streets, mosques and palaces. No two days are the same in this unique part of the world.

HIGHLIGHT: MARRAKECH, A MOROCCAN CITY IN NORTH AFRICA, FEATURES STARTLING SANDSTONE BUILDINGS, MATCHED ONLY BY A BURNING, SUNSOAKED HORIZON.

#3 Welcome to the best

animal show on earth

Hands down the best destination on earth for wildlife, you can’t match Africa for its abundance of diverse animal life. In hot pursuit of the renowned Big Five (the African lion, elephant, Cape buffalo, leopard, and

road of Nairobi. Of course, once you’re in South Africa, you’re in the realm of over 200 wine cellars, all found within a few hour’s drive of Cape Town, as well as a multitude of hip, city restaurants all serving a modern take on traditional SA fare. In Rwanda, the rich strong coffee is an absolute must-try, as is the food, which continues to build a globally acclaimed name for itself.

rhinoceros) Tanzania is one of the best countries to admire these magnificent creatures. As is South Africa. In Tanzania you’re also privy to the endangered black rhinoceros, often found roaming Ngorongoro’s crater floor. Then there’s the annual migration of wildebeest and zebras from the Serengeti to Kenya’s Masai Mara – one of the “Seven Wonders of the Natural World” and a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

For gorilla fans, Rwanda’s mountains are your go-to, and if you’ve always been beguiled by whales, South Africa is one of the few places on earth where you can observe their movements from coastal footpaths and ocean-fronting cafes.

HIGHLIGHT: THE MOREISH RWANDAN DELICACY OF SAMBAZA (SMALL FISH) WASHED DOWN WITH A BIG GLASS OF URWAGWA - FERMENTED BANANA BEER.

#6

Summer sunshine and beaches to die for

HIGHLIGHT: A LESSER KNOWN ANIMAL PHENOMENON IS SOUTH AFRICA’S SARDINE RUN, WHEN THE BILLIONS OF SARDINES MIGRATE, ALONG COME THE OCEAN PREDATORS!

The beaches of Zanzibar. Need we say anything more? If ever there were beaches on which all other beaches should be designed, it’s here. In South Africa you’ll be equally dazzled by Cape Town’s pristine white sand which laps the city’s shoreline.

Or venture along the popular Garden Route towards Plettenberg Bay in the Western Cape, and your arrival will present a retina pleasing mix of golden coastline and delicious greenery.

#4 Rich history Where to start? From Apartheid to bloody battles, the entire African continent is replete with history. Oh if these walls could talk. Catch the ferry to Cape Town’s Robben Island and witness the murky compounds where Nelson Mandela was incarcerated for 27 years. Or plan your visit to Johannesburg’s chilling Apartheid Museum. Haunting yet fascinating throughout, the museum offers a frank insight into the emotional struggle of South Africa’s former racial segregation and unjust hierarchy. Or perhaps you’re more inclined to visit Kenya’s 16th century Fort Jesus in Mombasa. Captured and recaptured at least nine times between 1631 and 1895, it’s a venue of sieges, bloodshed and battle.

HIGHLIGHT: STONE TOWN IS THE OLD PART OF ZANZIBAR CITY IN TANZANIA.

#5 Traditional cuisine mixed

HIGHLIGHT: IN TUNISIA YOU’RE JUST A STONE’S THROW AWAY FROM THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA.

#7 Wholesome people It doesn’t matter where you go, which countries you visit, or even how many, one thing that stays consistent across the entire African continent, is the kind, warm-hearted nature of its people. A nation of extreme pride and optimism, you will always feel welcome.

Beach marae burnt to ground

BY HAYLEY GASTMEIER A Riversdale Beach marae was razed to the ground by fire early on Sunday morning.

The blaze that ripped through Motuwairaka Marae, on Riversdale Rd, started sometime before 4am.

Nobody was inside the former woolshed when the fire took hold.

Firefighters were unable to save the building, saying it was “fully engulfed” when they arrived.

Fire investigators who were still analysing the scene at noon yesterday said the cause of the blaze was still to be established.

Riversdale Beach Volunteer Rural Fire Force had been unable to bring the blaze under control.

“The roof had collapsed and we couldn’t do anything,” its fire chief Glen Meredith said.

“The gas bottles were going off and the powerlines were on the ground.”

Mr Meredith said the force had modest resources and had to hold tight until back-up arrived.

Four fire engines and a water tanker from Masterton and Carterton drove 45 minutes to the coastal township to help battle the blaze.

Masterton fire station officer Mike Cornford said the building had “totally collapsed” to the ground by the time the crews arrived.

“It was all just a big pile of burning materials . . . there was nothing we could do except extinguish it.

“The whole structure was burnt out and the roof was on the floor.”

By the time Riversdale Beach Holiday Park owners Dion Moss and Michelle Naysmith saw the blaze, the marae was

“too far gone”.

“There was a bit of a glow out the window,” said Ms Naysmith, who had got up in the night.

“Everything looked a bit more

illuminated than usual.

“After hearing pops and bangs, we knew something wasn’t right.”

Mr Moss went outside to find “smoke wafting” over the park.

The couple called the fire brigade and found the marae “well ablaze”.

“We just checked that there were no cars or anybody there, although if there had been it would’ve been too late.”

Support wanted for refugees

BY BECKIE WILSON A Wairarapa man hopes the community will step up, if the government heeds a call to double the refugee quota and place families in the region.

Masterton man Dennis Bartlett, an ex-policeman who owns Jolly Good Shoe Repairs, was involved in resettling a family from Sudan in Lower Hutt about eight years ago and was “moved” by the experience.

Allowing more refugees into the country, and bringing them to Wairarapa would mean he could continue to help, he said.

In June last year, the government decreed it would raise New Zealand’s refugee quota to accept up to 1000 a year — the first rise since the quota was set at 750 in 1987.

It also announced a pilot programme to allow community groups to privately sponsor 25 refugees.

Mr Bartlett says he hopes to see a government which will place more importance on the plight of refugees.

“The government has announced they will trial it, they are a bit slow in getting it off the ground,” he said.

Murdoch Stephens from the ‘Doing Our Bit’ campaign, to double the quota will stop off in Masterton on his nationwide tour this month.

He will speak about the refugee crisis, New Zealand’s policies, and how communities can get involved.

“We don’t know what Wairarapa can do until the meeting,” Mr Bartlett said.

“If there is sufficient support, like if 100 people turn up, this will be an opportunity for people who are interested in providing support, and then maybe form a subcommittee.”

Even if 20 people showed a commitment to a pilot group of 25 refugees, that would be enough, he said.

Masterton man Dennis Bartlett, an ex-policeman who owns Jolly Good Shoe Repairs, hopes to see government where refugees will benefit.

He believes there is enough jobs for them on dairy farms and vineyards when they arrive.

“We have all the blessings, but I’m concerned we are becoming miserable and stingy with it.

“We have all sorts of social problems as well . . . [and] there are many people to help here, but it’s not either or, it can be both — can’t it?”

The work settling a family into the community was almost 90 per cent done by volunteers, he said.

“Not everything comes down to the dollars, it’s a compassionate thing.”

It was a political decision, but if the community showed it was willing to help, then that would be another step forward, he said.

Mr Bartlett and Jorge Sandoval will speak on the issue from a local perspective.

Mr Sandoval sought refuge in New Zealand after being imprisoned and tortured during Augusto Pinochet’s regime in Chile in the 1970s.

He was just like the 63 million refugees around the world today looking for a place to start a new life away from wars and danger.

The government should think seriously about increasing the quota, Mr Sandoval said.

“I didn’t come to New Zealand because I wanted to live here — if I could do my life all over again, I would love to live my whole life in my country, and be a Chilean in my country,” he said.

It was a privilege for him to be accepted into New Zealand, and he knew that refugees just want to be free and have a fresh start to create a future for their families.

“Most people that come here don’t come for [the dole], they don’t come here to rely on the country, they want an opportunity to be happy and free.”

A small region such as Wairarapa would be a great place for refugees to start a new life, he said.

“The smaller communities seem to be more caring about their people than in big cities — in big cities you are just another person.”

Refugees settle in Auckland, Waikato, Manawatu, Wellington, Nelson, Dunedin and recently Invercargill.

Australia has five times New Zealand’s population, but takes eighteen times the New Zealand refugee quota.

• Murdoch Stephens nationwide tour ‘Refugees Welcome’ will be on July 26, at the Reformed Church, Masterton.

Arsenic found in soil

23

BY HAYLEY GASTMEIER The old Tate’s Orchard site in Greytown, which is to be subdivided for housing, has been found to be contaminated with arsenic.

An investigation of the site on Kuratawhiti Street has revealed the topsoil has levels of the chemical which exceed national health standards to a depth of 30cm.

Soil testing was undertaken at 116, Kuratawhiti St, part of the designated area, with arsenic levels of 27mg/kg uncovered.

According to national environmental standards, the soil contaminant standard for health for arsenic at rural residential and lifestyle blocks is a concentration level of 17mg/kg.

Tates Orchard was one of the original apple, pear and cherry orchards in Greytown and was subjected to many years of spray programmes to control fruit tree pests and diseases.

The now clear land has been earmarked for residential development, but remedial action will be necessary before this can go ahead.

South Wairarapa District Council (SWDC) planning and environment manager Murray Buchanan confirmed the contaminated soil was the result of years of spraying apple trees with an arsenic-based insecticide.

The council are in the process of devising a future development area (FDA) in Greytown as part of its combined district plan, with the potential to provide between 300 to 600 new residential lots.

Consultants have been working on a structure plan for the FDA, and work is in its final stages, with council now considering the results and likely final outcomes of this process.

The FDA encompasses the land between

Deanne and Blair Percy.

Kuratawhiti St and Wood St, and between Mole St and West St — about 35ha, which is in multiple ownerships.

Mr Buchanan said the findings should not hinder the plan for residential growth.

“There are traces that would need some sort of remediation and action — it doesn’t mean [the site] is not suitable for development.”

He said ploughing the land was one standard method that could be applied to mitigate the contamination, providing it was restricted to the surface.

“There would have to be quite high levels for it to actually stop [the land’s] potential future use.

“By turning it over you bury the contaminate down to a lower level so people are no longer exposed to it.”

Mr Buchanan prompted additional testing following the initial soil results earlier this year, with the block of land on the corner of Mole St and Wood St also found to

have arsenic levels above safe standards.

He understood that “simple remediation measures”, such as ploughing to a 500mm depth, would be enough to overcome the problem.

Wairarapa archivist and qualified nurseryman Gareth Winter said Walter Tate acquired the land which become Tate’s Orchard in 1899, planting the trees in 1903.

Mr Winter said the spray used on the apple trees was most likely arsenate of lead, which was widely used.

He said arsenate of lead was used in the agricultural industry until at least the 1950s in New Zealand.

When Mr Winter bought his Masterton nursery in 1980, he found some bottles of the poisonous chemical still on the site, and said he “promptly got rid of it”.

Mr Buchanan said a final structure plan for the FDA would be in draft form for councillors to discuss at its September meeting.

A Masterton dairy farming couple winning a regional farm performance award last week. Blair and Deanne Percy, who run 580 cows on their 195ha dairy farm near Masterton, won the Best Wairarapa Farm Performance award at the annual Dairy Business of the Year awards in Palmerston North.

The award was broken down into categories that the farmers had to meet: 70 per cent financial, 15 per cent environmental performance, and 15 per cent people management. The Percys started operating as Goodlands Partnership in mid-2013 after splitting off from Mr Percy’s family farm. “We thought we knew our costs were low . . . but we didn’t think that we would win,” Mrs Percy said. The farm’s cost of production sits at $3.40/kgMS, and has an operating profit of $902 per hectare.

Their goal now is just trying to do it better, she said.

They are now upgrading their irrigation systems and have just introduced a new pivot to their property.

The couple also won the 2016 Balance Farm LIC Dairy Farm Award for Greater Wellington.

Getting into character and getting back out again is fine in most performances, but when it’s something reasonably believable because it’s in a place you recognise, it can be quite disconcerting Midsummer Night’s Dream’ coproduction with Kuranui College, Cobblestones Museum and Greytown Little Theatre.

But it was his performance in Kuranui’s recent adaptation of ‘Pericles: Prince of Tyre’ at the regional finals of the Sheilah Winn Festival of Shakespeare in Schools, that brought his acting ability to the attention of Mr Gilberthorpe, who is directing this week’s production.

“I don’t really like doing serious roles . . . I like comedy, but it’s a good challenge,” AJ said.

“I’ve had to do a lot of rehearsals, about four to six days a week.”

Mr Gilberthorpe has said the production is not appropriate for children because of coarse language and dark themes, but says it will “resonate strongly in

A timely visit to the hairdressers catapulted Kuranui College student Alexander ‘AJ’ Southey into the world of theatre and a lead part in this week’s ‘An Unseasonable Fall of Snow’ at Greytown’s Little Theatre.

The one act mystery play is a psychological study of the innermost private depths of the human condition, where a defensive young man is being interrogated about a serious incident the night before.

The cast and crew are being tight lipped about the plot, but are adamant it will leave audiences guessing until the end.

AJ and Colton Stuart are the only actors in the production, and AJ explained how a fortuitous set of circumstances led to him landing the role.

“Last year, my mum was having a haircut and Leigh Hay, the chair of the local community board, was having a haircut at the same time.

“They get talking and mum explained how I was going to the National Youth Drama School to learn about lighting.”

Greytown Little Theatre chairperson John Gilberthorpe was looking for someone to do the lights for his play ‘Take a Chance on Me’, and AJ jumped at the opportunity.

“Leigh put me in touch with John, who thought I’d done lights for some time, but what I didn’t tell him was how long I had done them for . . . it was my first proper show,” he said.

AJ featured in last summer’s ‘A

our community”.

Dealing with those dark themes was an exciting challenge, AJ said.

“Getting into character and getting back out again is fine in most performances, but when it’s something reasonably believable because it’s in a place you recognise, it can be quite disconcerting.”

‘An Unseasonable Fall of Snow’ will be performed at 7.30pm each night this week through to Saturday, with a matinee on Sunday at 2pm.

Vines contest back

Tim Adams from Obsidian became the Bayer Auckland/Northern Young Viticulturist of the Year for the second year in a row on Friday June 30 at Goldie Estate.

Jake Dromgool from The Landing in Kerikeri who came second and to Nick Pett from Cable Bay who came third.

The Auckland/Northern region was added to the Young Viticulturist of the Year competition last year and now in its second year the competition has grown already with seven contestants taking part.

“What a fantastic group of guys” commented several judges.

The calibre was high and the camaraderie and respect for each other grew as the day progressed.

The other contestants were: Adam Yukich, Villa Maria; Matt Dixon, Te Motu; Pietro Aliosi, Marsden Estate and Robbie Golding, Mudbrick.

It was a beautiful, sunny day on Waiheke, which was a welcome contrast to last year which was perhaps one of the muddiest and wettest young vit competitions on record!

The contestants rotated around questions and challenges which tested a wide range of viticultural skills including pruning, netting, tractor maintenance, pests and diseases, budgeting, nutrition and trellising.

They also had a quickfire buzzer round and interview.

One of the highlights of the day was the BioStart Hortisports race where the contestants went head to head undertaking a variety of challenges amongst the vines.

It was tough but both contestants and spectators enjoyed the race.

The day concluded with a delicious

Gail’s farewell

Gail Marshall (centre), with pupils Nina Thompson, 5, and Micahn Macdonald, 10.

PHOTO/HAYLEY GASTMEIER

BY HAYLEY GASTMEIER It was the end of an era yesterday at Solway Primary School as the principal of 18 years stood down.

Students held a special assembly to farewell Gail Marshall, whose ill health has forced her into a premature retirement from the education sector.

But Mrs Marshall is optimistic about the future, sharing her plans with the school’s staff and pupils through intermissions of tears.

“So what’s next for me? My physical recovery has to be number one,” she told the assembly.

“During this time of rest I want to write a book I have been talking about for years, [called] Kids in Charge.”

Mrs Marshall said she wanted to continue to support children in need by setting up a centre in Masterton to assist them and their families.

Taking her husband Keith on holiday was also a priority.

Acting principal Viv Booth had been Mrs Marshall’s deputy for the full 18 years.

“Gail is compassionate, an excellent listener and her office door was always open — anyone could pop in anytime, and that included children.”

She said around the time Mrs Marshall became school principal there had been about 168 children and 13 staff.

The roll is now at 237.

“Gail always wanted the best for the children and if that meant employing a learning assistant to support the children’s learning she did this.”

Mrs Booth said the Solway School Values were introduced by Mrs Marshall, and had been an important aspect of learning for pupils over the years.

Throughout her tenure, Mrs Marshall changed the classroom identifications from numbers to tree names, and created a schoolwide behaviour plan.

She also played a big role in “saving” the school from closing down during the 2003 Masterton school review.

Pupils paid tribute to Mrs Marshall with a farewell movie made by them, and gifted her flowers and a handmade colourful cloak.

A range of tasty takeaways are now available at Solway Super Store in Masterton. Also on the menu is a small selection of favourite Asian dishes such as Butter Chicken and Lamb Korma.

Raj Rama and Sue Suppayah took over the dairy in January, and have just introduced a range of delicious hot takeaway food.

A highlight of the Takeaway Menu is the Kool’s Chicken. Healthier than other deep-fried alternatives, Kool’s Chicken is crispy, moist and succulent.

Also on the Takeaway menu available all day are Lamb Shanks, Hamburgers, Crumbed Sweet Bread, Chicken Tenderloin, Crumb Prawn and Prawn Twisters, Meatballs, Sausages & Hotdogs.

Butter Chicken, Lamb Korma, Beef Stir Fry and Sweet Thai Chilli Chicken are available from lunchtime on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.

Raj and Sue have become a popular couple since taking over the Solway Super Store which is located in the Solway Shopping Centre at 209 High Street. They originally came from Malaysia 14 years ago and with their backgrounds enjoyed settling into the New Zealand way of life.

Raj had worked on dairy farms while Sue

grew up helping her family in their dairy.

The couple later moved to the Wairarapa where Raj has continued to work on dairy farms. In the store, Raj prepares the takeaways while Sue is in charge of the Asian dishes which she has been cooking all her life.

Since taking over Solway Super Store, the couple have become well-liked by local residents. Raj and Sue are particularly grateful to the other nearby businesses who gone out of their way to support them.

“We’d like to say thank you to all our customers and everyone who has helped us.”

Rosy relations Strawberries are in the same plant family (Rosaceae) as roses, apples, pears and stone fruit. That is one impressive family tree!

If you love eating fresh strawberries or using them in irresistible desserts like cheesecake, pavlova and trifle you’ll be familiar with how expensive they can often be to buy in the supermarket and how quickly they can turn to grey mush once you get them home.

So, it’s time to try growing your own strawberries so you can have these delicious berries right at your back door.

Strawberry crowns or runners can be planted during July in cool and temperate areas. In warmer zones look out for potted strawberries to plant during winter.

If you’re planning a berry patch it’s

important to choose a spot that is well drained and enrich the soil first to create the best growing environment. Before planting your strawberries into a sunny position, mix some certified organic Yates® Thrive® Natural Blood & Bone into the soil.

It’s a concentrated blend of blood and bone with added NZ seaweed, which helps improve soil quality and water holding ability and encourages earthworms and beneficial soil microorganisms.

Strawberries are also a perfect potted plant and look fantastic in hanging baskets, ‘strawberry pots’ and troughs.

Keep the new strawberry plants well watered and once new growth emerges, start feeding each week with a complete plant food such as Yates Thrive® Strawberry & Berry Fruit Liquid Plant Food.

It contains a balanced blend of nutrients which will promote healthy green leaves, encourage a strong root system and lots of juicy berries.

Mulching around strawberry plants with lucerne or pea straw not only helps to keep the soil moist, it will also lead to cleaner berries.

Mandarins are in season during the cooler months, providing sweet and juicy pre-packed parcels of goodness.

Imperial mandarins are the first to ripen, followed by puffy skinned and easy to peel Emperors.

Growing these 2 different varieties at home will give you months of delicious fresh mandarins and dwarf varieties only grow to around 2 m tall, so don’t take up much room.

You can also grow dwarf mandarins very successfully in pots.

Find a sunny spot that receives at least 6 hours of sunshine a day and use a pot that’s at least 40 cm in diameter, filled with good quality potting mix like Yates Premium Potting Mix.

Mandarins, particularly when grown in pots, require lots of nutrients to promote healthy growth and a great harvest.

Yates Thrive® Citrus Liquid Plant Food is a complete plant food that has been specially formulated to provide citrus with the nutrients they need - nitrogen for lush green leaves, phosphorus for strong root development and potassium to promote flowering and fruiting.

Apply Yates Thrive Citrus Liquid Plant Food every week while mandarins are still on the tree and then start feeding again in early spring when new foliage and flower buds start to emerge.

Wairarapa Midweek

Test in the stadium About 350 eager rugby fans packed-out the War Memorial Stadium in Masterton on Saturday to watch the second test between the All Blacks and the British and Irish Lions.

The game played at Westpac Stadium in Wellington was screened live by Masterton District Council.

The council’s economic development manager Kieran McAnulty said there was a “marvellous” turn-out, with families coming prepared with picnics and children enjoying face painting.

“What was really cool about it was there was a real cross-section of society.

It was all sorts of people from right across

PHOTO/SUPPLIED

Masterton and Wairarapa.

“There were some tourists in town that got wind of it and they came along — the feedback’s been really positive.

“The fact is this is a very special event, which only happens in New Zealand every 12 years and the Lions are essentially the best players from four top tier rugby playing nations.

“It was always going to be a contest.”

The Lions beat the All Blacks 24-21 to square the series 1-1.

“How exciting is (next) Saturday going to be now. It’s going to be a series decider, and we haven’t had one of those since 1993.”

Smoke fogs air quality

BY BECKIE WILSON Household fires during the winter months put the greatest pressure on air quality in the region, with Masterton and Carterton exceeding air quality targets, according to a Greater Wellington Regional Council report.

Wairarapa towns have the highest proportion of households, about 70 per cent, in the greater Wellington region using wood or coal for home heating, and smoke from home fires contains high levels of fine particles.

Winters in the region are less windy, and can experience temperature inversions where the colder air is trapped beneath a layer of warmer air, restricting the movement of wood smoke.

Historically, Masterton has been subject to air pollution especially in northern area of the town. But since air quality monitoring began 14 years ago, Masterton’s air quality had “slowly improved”.

This was due to the gradual phasing in of cleaner-burning wood burners required by National Environmental Standard for Air Quality, the report said.

Particles less than or equal to 10 micrometres in diameter are so small that they can get into the lungs, potentially causing serious health

problems.

Ten micrometers are less than the width of a single human hair.

Coarse dust particles (PM10) are 2.5 to 10 micrometres in diameter such as the particles in Masterton and Carterton’s air.

The National Environmental Standard for Air Quality allows for one day a year above its required level of PM10. In 2016, Masterton East exceeded the target by 10 days, Masterton West by one and Carterton by two.

The World Health Organisation guideline allows for three days above its required level of PM2.5. Last year, Masterton East exceeded the target by 35 days, Masterton West by 19, and Carterton by 17.

The regional council offers financial assistance to Masterton residents for upgrading old home fires.In 2016, 147 of the town’s residents took advantage of this.

Masterton District Council (MDC) introduced a by-law in 2016 that bans outdoor fires in Masterton during winter months.

“To begin the process of change in Masterton, work needs to be done on generating awareness and community conversations around the issue,” the report said.

Wairarapa Midweek

Wairarapa United’s 5-2 win

FOOTBALL

BY GARY CAFFELL A scintillating first half paved the way for Wairarapa United’s 5-2 thrashing of Wellington United in their Central League men’s football match at Memorial Park, Masterton on Saturday.

Wairarapa United scored all five of their goals in an action-packed opening 45 minutes while conceding one with nothing impressing more than their intensity on both attack and defence.

Whenever they were in possession, they transferred the ball quickly through slick and accurate passing and often had the Wellington United defence back-pedalling at a great rate of knots.

With that sort of pressure, it was only a matter of time before the goals would come and come.

Skipper Sam Mason-Smith bagged three goals with Paul Ifill and Ermal Hajdari adding one each.

It was appropriate that this trio should be the scorers as they were a constant menace through a mix of pace, assertiveness and clever ball skills but they were not the only other Wairarapa United players to shine.

Midfielder Cory Chettleburgh and Seule Soromon, playing in the unaccustomed role of defender, also made a huge impression with their ability to create space, either for themselves or for their

supports.

There were though a couple of downsides to the Wairarapa United first half effort too.

“OUR HOUSE”

35

scored was a somewhat tame affair which should have been avoided and then there was the red carding of Soromon just before the half-time break after he made what was deemed to be a dangerous tackle.

Playing one man short and conceding another goal soon after the resumption of play, Wairarapa United changed their tactics drastically for most of the second half.

Seldom did they look to push forward with any numbers with the focus being on protecting their lead and enhancing their goal differential on the points table at the same time, something which could come in handy as they look to chase down the only side in front of them with four league matches still to play, Western Suburbs.

The new approach did mean that Wairarapa United’s own defensive structure was regularly tested by a Wellington United side who had scored a 1-0 win over them in the first round and spearheaded by agile goalkeeper Coey Turipa and Daniel Allan, they were generally equal to the task.

The Wairarapa United women’s team picked up their first point in the Capital W-League when they fought out a 2-2 draw with Stop Out on Saturday.
