Ethan Ward

The power of creativity Ethan Ward, 17, has autism spectrum disorder. Formerly overwhelmed by the challenges that came with it, his education gave him a chance to shine. ERIN KAVANAGH-HALL reports.

A poster designed for an Oscar-winning Kiwi favourite, a local advertising gig, and the creation of an entire extraterrestrial world with the click of a mouse – Ethan Ward’s creative career is off to a promising start.

Ethan, a Year 13 student at Makoura College, has stunned his teachers and peers with his artistic talents.

From his toolbox full of miniature fighter jets from moulding clay (which he is rarely seen without at school), to his detailed pencil designs for video game characters, to vast alien landscapes worked in Photoshop, his skills and innovation have consistently earned him top marks and several inschool awards.

Ethan’s talent has also given him an early leg-up into the local business world, with a Masterton worm farming operation approaching him to design advertisements and promotional materials.

This opportunity gave him the confidence to push his creativity further, with an entry into Sir Peter Jackson’s competition to design a poster for his upcoming film, Mortal Engines – which his teachers describe as a “proud moment”.

Despite Ethan’s exceptional abilities, the 17-year-old, who modestly describes himself as “quite arty”, has come up against several challenges.

He lives with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), a neurological condition which affects communication skills and social interaction.

School and academia can be difficult for youngsters with ASD, as they can struggle with interpreting information

and instructions, and with reading social cues, resulting in anxiety, confusion and isolation.

Ethan’s challenges had left him apprehensive about the path his life would take after school, Mum Wendy Roesler said.

But, thanks to the nurturing and support he has received at Makoura, including access to specialist software and introduction to the world of Weta Workshop, he is dreaming big, hoping to pursue a career in design or animation.

“What he was going to do with his life was a huge concern for Ethan,” Wendy said.

“He was worried he wouldn’t be able to make any money, look after himself and be independent.

“But, he can see now that the paths he is taking as an artist have real meaning, and can lead to a career.

“He’s realised there’s a place in the world for him.”

I enjoy drawing anthropomorphic creatures as well.

I’m a bit of a perfectionist, so I’m continuously working on getting their faces right. If I have a creative idea, I may as well make it happen.

“I didn’t think I was going to have a career in maths and science,” Ethan added, matter-of-factly.

“I would definitely like to work in the artistic field.”

Ethan’s talent was obvious from a young age – drawing straight lines freehand, and being able to produce near-identical

A digital painting by Ethan Ward.

PHOTOS/SUPPLIED

copies of existing drawings, much to his teachers’ amazement.

Producing storyboards was one of the earliest ways he was able to express himself as child – filling “hundreds and hundreds of sketchbooks” with drawings inspired by his favourite TV shows, such as Thunderbirds and Jimmy Neutron.

“I drew a lot of comics as a child – though they were quite primitive,” Ethan said.

“I mostly used felt pens.”

Another of his talents to emerge was sculpting – with him eventually creating his own military aircraft of plasticine fighter jets, all made my hand.

Each day, he brings his collection of planes to class with him inside an old tool box (which his teachers at Makoura encouraged), as handling the models provides comfort in times of stress.

“They’re ridiculously detailed,” Wendy said.

“It’s amazing he can make something so tiny and intricate with his big clodhopper hands.”

Ethan took art as a subject when he started at Makoura College in Year 9, and quickly

became proficient in a range of media, including photography, design technology and digital painting.

Wendy credits the teaching Ethan has received at Makoura, particularly from Head of Art Jann Lenihan, with helping him gain confidence in his abilities, and plan for the future.

For his final year at Makoura, the school arranged for him to do solely art-related subjects for NCEA Level 3, allowing him to flourish in his specialist area without distraction (he will continue at college until he achieves the required credits).

To help him develop his skills further, Ms Lenihan

sourced digital design programmes from the YouBee School of Design in Wellington for him to use.

The turning point, however, was when the school organised for Ethan to visit and tour Weta Workshop in Wellington.

There, he met David Tremont, a professional sculptor and model maker, who worked on the sets of blockbuster hits such as King Kong, District 9, and Avatar, and was able to view the set and storyboards for the Thunderbirds Are Go! TV series.

“He was staring at the storyboards for ages. That was definitely a lightbulb moment for him,” Wendy said.

“He realised he could

make a living doing what he loves.”

At present, Ethan is working on his digital portfolio for NCEA assessment – for which he has created an alien universe, with its own government, ecosystem, flag and humanoid inhabitants.

He lists his biggest inspirations as old school Nintendo video games, the works of H G Wells, and Doctor Who, “especially the Daleks”.

“I’m very much into science fiction – I’m a War of the Worlds kind of dude.

I love creating Martian landscapes.

“I enjoy drawing anthropomorphic creatures as well. I’m a bit of a perfectionist, so I’m continuously working on getting their faces right. If I have a creative idea, I may as well make it happen.”

Teacher Ms Lenihan said Ethan has a superb skill in representing images accurately, but has “a great sense of the weird and ridiculous”.

His art has also helped him boost his confidence in social settings.

“When I first met him, he was very insular – he didn’t interact with the other kids at all,” she said.

“But, we’d have discussions in class, and he realised he had something to contribute – so he’d speak up. It helped bring him out of himself.”

Mum Wendy praised Makoura College for its philosophy of inclusiveness, and the staff for “going out of their way” to create a positive environment for her son.

“Ethan has never been bullied or targeted for being different.

“The school has always rallied around him when he’s needed support.”

Bride of the Year in the family Hayley Gastmeier Charlotte Osborne’s wedding party spent a portion of her special day picking tomatoes and cucumber from their bouquets, which fell victim to a platter of Subway sandwiches that went rogue.

It’s something to laugh about now for Osborne (nee Stuart), who was named Wairarapa Bride of the Year 2018 on Friday night.

Osborne, 31, of Masterton, said “the pressure was on” as two of her aunties and one of her cousins had won the title before.

Plus, her nana was one of the original organisers of the competition, hosted

by Masterton Plunket when it launched 49 years ago.

She and her husband, Wiremu, were married at Rathkeale College in April.

The couple had been together for nine years before tying the knot and were best friends to start with.

“He literally pursued me for a whole year,” said Osborne, who works at Ten O’Clock Cookie Bakery Cafe.

“He used to get lots of flak all the time. They’d say ‘bro, she’s not into you,

Wairarapa Bride of the Year, Charlotte Osborne, Highly Commended Chloe Frederiksen, Commended Emily Ireland, and Special Award Jessica Terry.

PHOTO/JADE CVETKOV

just give it a rest’, but he was like, ‘no’.”

Osborne said she was happy he had been so persistent. They finally got together at a Masterton party.

“I’m stoked. It was nice to build our relationship on being friends to start.”

Both were the first to be married of their siblings, so a lot of effort went into the wedding which had 200 guests.

The couple had five bridesmaids and five groomsmen who all shared a red double decker bus to the wedding venue.

The women were downstairs and the men were upstairs, with Osborne doing her “reveal” to her husbandto-be by walking up to the top floor.

“It was quite nice to get that out of the way so it wasn’t so emotional when

walking down the aisle.”

Osborne said after some questionable moments by the driver, who brought down some branches and hit some kerbs en route, the day was “heaps of fun”.

Married life was more or less the same, Osborne

said, except she felt she was taken more seriously now.

Her wedding dress was a slim sheath gown, with swirls of beading, pearl accents and embroidered motifs creating a V neckline.

It had capped sleeves, a low illusion back with dainty crystal buttons.

The Aldora crepe skirt flared to a chapel train of illusion lace appliques.

She wore her mother’s favourite earrings as her ‘something borrowed’ and her ‘something old’ was her nana’s vintage marcasite brooch which was worn as a hair clip.

Runner up, or Highly Commended, went to Chloe Frederiksen (nee Stevens).

Emily Ireland (nee Norman) came in third place, as Commended.

The fourth place Special Award went to Jessica Terry (nee Davies).

The judges were Tararua District Mayor Tracey Collis, Aratoi Regional Trust chairwoman Barbara Roydhouse, and Solway Primary School principal Mark Bridges.

Collis said deciding on the winners was a tough gig.

She joked that at one point the judges “did consider heading for the door”.

Drastic steps to reduce crime Comment

Mike Osborne Andrew Little holds a criminal justice summit and up pop the usual suspects.

There’s the predictable carry on about “soft on crime” and “hard on crime” which isn’t really about crime but the treatment of criminals.

Bottom line, you’d be hoping that our political leaders are working for effective crime reduction.

However, our method of choosing our representatives is essentially a popularity contest.

Also, politicians know that job number one is to get re-elected and so pandering to the populace’s base prejudices is often what we get.

The punitive approach has a strong following in our country.

If only we punish the criminals more, then the victims will suffer less.

Others claim that restorative justice is better and allows for the victims’ voices to be properly heard.

Where does

rehabilitation that works fit in?

Do we want to reduce the chance of re-offending or do we just accept repeat offending?

Proponents for different models of justice, parole, imprisonment and rehabilitation trot out their viewpoints and the research papers and statistics that back up their claims.

But what is the truth?

What is actually effective in reducing crime and the prison population?

Let’s not forget that it’s a very costly exercise to accommodate a prisoner in a secure environment.

Are we getting value for money?

I don’t know the answer.

I have my own prejudices as to what I think would work but I don’t know for certain.

However, I do have an idea for a system that I think would see a reduction in both crime and the prison population.

Economists tell us that, “people respond to incentives” and others say

Midweek columnist Mike Osborne has an interesting take on what is needed to reduce crime.

that individuals should be accountable for criminal acts.

Let’s put those two things together.

Let’s make our MPs individually accountable for reducing criminal acts and give them a (negative) incentive to do so.

Here’s how it works.

Every MP from all parties, including Ministers and the Prime Minister – no exclusions, has their name go into a ballot.

Every time a judge sentences someone to jail for more than five years and the person sentenced has previously spent more

than a year in jail, a name is drawn from the ballot.

The MP drawn serves an equivalent number of days in prison as the number of years for the sentence, eg 10 years sentence is 10 days for the MP. The ballot wouldn’t start immediately, that would be unfair on newer

PHOTO/FILE

MPs. A six-year (two terms) period would allow time to introduce and implement change before the incentives (potential jail time) kick in.

I think we’d see some effective cross-party collaboration.

And, a reduction in repeat offending too.

GARDEN

YARN

WITH

Going Potty

MOON CALENDAR

Container gardening has become very popular many for home gardens as sections have got smaller and life has become busier.

Pots can also be more manageable for the elderly or those with back troubles because their “gardens” tend to be higher off the ground, can be lots of fun for kids to create and a wise idea for those who are renting - if they have to leave their house they can take their “portable garden” with them.

We are fortunate now that plant growers have developed a wide range of trees and shrubs that are suitable for growing in containers. There are many dwarf fruit trees to choose from – pears, peaches, apples etc, citrus look fabulous in pots, smaller growing maples … the list goes on and on!

Selecting the right container for your plants is important for looks, health and survival. Large plants in small containers dry out quickly and could become pot-bound, while a small plant in a large pot may look weird and have trouble regulating soil moisture. If the plant roots can’t reach the bottom of the pot, and the drainage holes are blocked, the extra moisture will collect at the bottom – creating a soggy smelly mess and potential root rot.

When choosing your pot for your plant – or your plant for you pot – remember to check what the mature size will be, unless you plan on repotting as the plant grows, it pays to get it right first time.

WHAT SIZE POT?

It depends on the plant, and how deep the roots grow, but as a guide small ornamentals such as succulents need shallow soil (less than 15cm); annuals need around 30cm; perennials

There are loads of wonderfully fragrant, pre�y plants that are suitable for container growing such as Lavenders, Daphnes, & Boronias.

30-45cm, shrubs 45-60cm and small trees around 60-90cm.

Edible plant mixes can be planted together, but they need space so they’re not competing for nutrients. Keep in mind that leafy vegies have different feeding requirements to fruiting plants, so would be a good idea to separate those. Shallow rooting crops such as herbs, lettuces, strawberries need a pot around 15-30cm, medium size edibles such as melons or capsicums 30-45cm, large edibles like tomatoes, potatoes & berry fruit 60cm and citrus

NEW MOON - September 10TH FULL MOON - September 25TH

MOON PLANTING TIPS THIS WEEK

and dwarf fruit trees at least 90cm deep.

Not only does the pot size matter, so does the shape.

Round, square and rectangle pots with deep spaces (30 – 90cm) are good for flowering perennials, shrubs and small trees. Succulents can be grown in shallow bowls. Vase shaped are great for a mixture of annuals – the wide top gives you room for a range of different flowers. Urns that are wide at the bottom look good, but keep in mind that if you plant anything with deep roots it may be tough to remove the plant. Something easy to remove (such as annuals or

some perennials) may be a better option, unless you plan on keeping it in there.

We have all sorts of options for container growing – from the simple plastic “PB” bags, plastic pots, light weight pots, carry bags with handles, potato pots and a beautiful range of ceramic pots – new styles come in regularly.

You must ensure your plants don’t dry out, especially over the warmer months (another bonus with pots is you can move them around to suit their needs). Give them a thorough watering a few times a week rather than a light sprinkling and products such as Saturaid and Daltons Mulch & Grow can be used to retain water. When feeding ensure the fertiliser is safe for containers – we recommend our exclusive ican Fast Food for a quick boost and ican Slow Food for a 24 month controlled release fertiliser.

FILLING YOUR POTS – QUALITY PAYS

GOT A LOT TO FILL?

Flaxes and grasses are hardy and easy care, and with the variety of textures and colours there’s sure to be something to suit your look.

When it comes to potting mixes it’s worthwhile to pay an extra few dollars and get a top quality product. We recommend Daltons Mixes with essential slow release nutrients and moisture retaining qualities, an important addition for container gardening. There’s a mix to suit many plants, African Violets, Cacti & Succulent, Orchid, Potting and Tub Mix. For your

HEALTH

MATTERS Allergy alert – it’s spring!

SPRING CLEAN YOUR MEDICINE CABINET

Spring time means longer days, warmer weather – and allergies!

Spring allergies are usually caused by an over-reaction to grasses and pollen.

Symptoms can include: • sneezing • runny or stuffy, blocked noses • watery, itchy eyes • irritated and itchy throats • wheezing.

Springtime allergies are common and can be debilitating, but most can be easily treated. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about what type of allergy relief is best for you.

Allergy treatments can include nasal sprays and antihistamines as well as prescription medication.

Here are some tips for avoiding the springtime snuffles: • Keep your garden free of highly allergenic plants.

• Try to stay indoors when the pollen count is at its highest, such as in the early evening.

Make your home safer this spring by clearing out your cupboards of any unused or out of date medication.

Items to look for include: n pills n tablets n supplements n liquid medication.

• Shower at night to wash away pollen that may have landed on you during the day.

• Keep your home as dust free as possible to avoid this setting off allergies.

• Drink plenty of water to help keep germs away from a dry throat or nose passage.

• Close bedroom windows at night to prevent pollen from entering.

Medical Centre After Hours Service

Drop off any unused or expired medication to your local pharmacy. You can also talk to your pharmacist about any queries you have about your medication.

Spring into action!

With winter over, now is a good time to get more active.

Join a gym, take up a new sport or head out to one of our great local parks or cycling tracks. Make it fun by getting a walking buddy or playing backyard games with the kids.

WHERE IN THE WORLD IS MIDWEEK?

Piece of mind

Opinion

Emily Ireland Last week, I was lucky enough to have been invited along to a focus group style meeting with National’s spokesperson for mental health, Matt Doocey.

It was at Sacred Art Tattoo & Piercing in Masterton – the business that is organising this month’s Suicide Awareness Fundraiser (September 15).

There were only a handful of people invited to the meeting, in which people whose lives had been touched by suicide or mental health issues put their concerns to Doocey, and Wairarapa’s MP Alastair Scott.

Starting off the meeting, Doocey acknowledged

the elephant in the room – “We handled suicide very badly in the National government”.

He quickly backed up the statement with his advocacy of a cross-party mental health group – “mental health cannot be political”, he said.

That’s the thing. Mental illness doesn’t care if you are right wing or left wing.

It doesn’t care whether you are poor, rich, young, old, what your ethnicity is.

The only thing we know for certain is that it affects a lot of New Zealanders.

Let’s not make mental health political and divided. Let’s work together as New Zealanders to make a change.

I am a lovely, bouncy, medium sized male cross breed dog found by Animal Services abandoned at the pound. I am friendly, playful and full of energy looking for my forever home.

I love to walk on a leash and would benefit from more training as I’m still fairly young. I like to play with other dogs and the other animals I’ve met so far don’t bother me, I’ve also had a basic vet check and my first vaccinations so I’m good to go.

If you can offer me a new forever home and have the time to exercise and train me I would love to meet you, give MDC Animal Services a call today.

ADVERTORIAL

The fascinating kiwi story of Evolve jewellery and the Black Sheep Lynn Simpson has always been the Black Sheep of Wairarapa jewellery.

She’s never been afraid to take the road less travelled when choosing the brands she stocks.

Now, as the Queen Street, Masterton business celebrates its tenth anniversary, Lynn is proud of the unique brands she has collected around her.

Black Sheep is a unique business, she explains. “We can buy anything we want to. We are not a traditional jeweller at all. We stock an eclectic mix of quality original designs.”

One of the brands Lynn has always championed is the New Zealand inspired jewellery of Evolve.

Evolve has its roots in the Wairarapa where its founders Tim and Louise Laing grew up and married.

In fact, it was while the couple were honeymooning in Thailand, that the concept for Evolve was born - New Zealand themed designs, made by skilled artisans using quality materials.

All Evolve jewellery is handcrafted using the best natural materials including solid sterling silver, solid nine carat gold, genuine New Zealand greenstone and Murano glass.

Every piece tells a story, says Tim. “There is a lot of meaning and inspiration around every piece of jewellery. We endeavour to make meaningful jewellery with heart and soul behind it.”

Themes and stories in the Evolve ranges stretch from kiwi summers and coastal beauty to New Zealand’s birds, forests and regions.

The Wairarapa’s rolling green pastures

and iconic Castlepoint lighthouse are celebrated - both reminders of the couple’s childhoods.

Evolve is popular with New Zealanders who feel a personal connection with the pieces, as well as tourists who have a memory they can wear back home as a beautiful piece of jewellery.

Each of New Zealand’s athletes at the last Olympics was gifted a piece of Evolve jewellery as their memory.

One of the creative geniuses of the Evolve designs is that they are compatible with the jewellery of other brands.

For instance, Evolve charms are designed to fit Pandora and Thomas Sabo bracelets and are compatible with most bead and charm jewellery brands.

One of their most popular Evolve ranges are Tim and Louise’s Stow Lockets.

These are finely handcrafted from solid 9ct gold, 9ct rose gold, and sterling silver.

As the name suggests, these stow away the wearer’s precious stories, but remain visible through high quality crystal glass.

“On our Facebook page we asked our customers what they had put in their Stow Lockets and received some incredible feedback,” says Tim. “One respondent said it contained memories of their mother who had died of cancer, and another the birthstone of their child.

“The Stow Lockets are not just jewellery but a heirloom that will be passed down to future generations.”

Set yourself big challenges Lakeview School principal TIM NELSON endeavours to learn something new every day by reading books, listening to podcasts, and engaging with a wide range of other content.

The gift of being a beginner

When you first start out on the path to achieving a new goal, you’ll notice that improvements are made quickly and steadily, provided you stick to the programme.

This is an exciting time, as progress is easy to see for yourself and for others.

Enjoy this time, but be aware things do get harder and progress slows.

The important thing, according to fitness expert Ross Edgley, is to be aware of the less obvious progress as we work through new goals, but know that the long term benefits of sticking to the programme will pay off handsomely in terms of satisfaction and long term health.

Finish watching the YouTube video

In his book Notes on a Nervous Planet author Matt Haig shares a number of strategies that are easy to do that encourage you to enjoy living in the moment.

One idea that struck a chord immediately is to watch complete YouTube videos.

Matt Haig states that we often see the next recommended clip while we are watching something we have searched for and will then click on the recommendation before the current one is finished because we simply can’t wait to see the next clip.

This can happen again and again as we go down a YouTube ‘hole’, not really enjoying anything to its fullest, always looking for the next thing that catches our attention.

A better idea is to watch the whole video; finish the whole article; watch the whole series; in short – finish things.

Be prepared to move from the status quo

I attended at leadership coaching session presented

by Dr Jan Cameron recently.

One point that struck a chord with me was her comment about breaking from the status quo, as often we inherit systems, practices and cultural beliefs that are no longer relevant or simply don’t work yet are accepted as being something that’s done because “it has always been this way”.

It isn’t easy to change things, but to live by your values it’s essential to do what is right, not simply stick with what is done.

A great example of this

from the history of sports was with women running marathons.

Until Kathy Switzer entered the Boston Marathon in 1967 it was believed that women could not physically run the distance; this clearly isn’t the case, with some of the best ultra-distance runners in the world now being women.

Kathy Switzer’s challenging of the status quo led the way in changing and debunking a misguided belief.

Do things because you want to

Leonardo da Vinci was an artist who was offered many commissions to paint portraits of wealthy and influential people; a vast majority of which he turned down.

However his most famous painting, the Mona Lisa, is of someone of relatively little influence who wasn’t well known.

It appears that the reason this painting was done (over a span of several years) was simply because Leonardo wanted to.

It’s important here to understand that not everything needs to be done for recognition, career development, or money.

Sometimes, as was the case with the Mona Lisa, things should just be done for personal satisfaction and enjoyment.

Ironically this may lead to those very same things being achieved, as has certainly been the case with Leonardo’s greatest work of art.

Challenge yourself

Casey Neistat has a huge following on YouTube.

He inspires so many with his regular posts about a range of things, mainly linked to technology, that happen in his life.

One thing that he is especially passionate about is running.

In a recent post he shared the challenge he set for himself, this being to run the distance of four marathons in one week.

He achieved this and got a lot of satisfaction by going through the process and achieving the goal.

The same kind of thing can be done by anyone; it doesn’t have to be at the level of Casey’s, instead it could be to walk one kilometre every day for a week, to learn a word in another language each day for seven days, or to learn how to play a new song on

the ukulele over the course of a week.

The idea is to simply choose a goal, then work to complete it over a sevenday period (or any other time frame that suits you).

Why Bulgarians are so good at weightlifting

One of my favourite sports to watch in the Olympic Games is weightlifting; there’s always a lot of tension and excitement with every lift.

In watching weightlifting a country that stands out is Bulgaria, who have had considerable success despite the relatively small size of the country.

One reason for their success is the coaching methods of their legendary coach Ivan Abadjiev.

Abadjiev believes that to get better at weightlifting his athletes need to do more weightlifting; simple stuff really.

Every day of training consists of doing the same thing, this being practicing the lifts that the athletes will be competing in; doing this again and again and again.

This same process can be applied to anything we want to improve at.

If you want to become a better piano player, play the piano; if you want to become a better longdistance runner, do more long-distance running; if you want to get better at writing, write more.

The secret to getting better at something is to be specific with your training, essentially doing more of what you want to become better at.

Stop buying things you can’t really afford

I heard a really interesting interview with the NZ Retirement Commissioner.

The discussion was about how so many people are getting into more debt and putting themselves in a very vulnerable position.

In many cases the people in this situation are earning enough to maintain a good lifestyle but fail to do so because, compared to their grandparents’ generation, they are wanting more and more without necessarily having the money to buy it.

It is great to have new things and experiences, but it’s important to be realistic in regards to what you can afford.

It’s also extremely important to not think that just because you can access the finance to get yet another hire purchase or loan that you can afford it.

MDC PERFORMANCE MEASURED

Spring has finally sprung!

Measuring our performance is an important part of ensuring Masterton ratepayers are getting a good service.

Every year we produce a full Annual Report which outlines our financial and nonfinancial measurements in detail. We’re consistently measuring our performance against a range of measurements.

What a relief to see a little bit more sunshine, lambs in the paddocks and daffodils emerging.

The change in season also takes us into Masterton District Council’s key time for our performance.

Our Annual Report, which details our financial results, will be available in October.

Non-financial performance measurements

We also have our non-financial performance measures available below.

Some exciting events are also coming up in the next few months, including an open day at Hood Aerodrome in October. Keep an eye out for details on our website.

Finally, I’m proud to be able to celebrate Castlepoint being named a finalist in the Keep New Zealand Beautiful Awards under the Kiwi’s Choice category.

We all know Castlepoint is a local favourite – but what an achievement it would be to have it named a national favourite. The winners will be announced late next month.

For now, hei konā mai.

In early August we opened what’s called a “Registration of Interest” process.

Registrations closed last week.

From here we’ll be doing more work to consider the options and registrations of interest before getting formal proposals from developers.

Familiar face on Mars Sky Watch

Nick Sault With Mars remaining in our night sky, let’s look at one of the latest close-ups of Mars provided by NASA. Here’s the Beaker image taken from the NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.

It’s just a geological formation but due to the condition we all seem to be blessed (or cursed) with, somehow we see Beaker, one of the Muppets created

by Jim Henson in 1977.

This was filmed by the orbiter while carrying out its mission of photographing the red planet for possible landing sites.

Muppet fans and threeyear-olds will see the likeness, but evidently this condition we have that causes us to see familiar shapes in otherwise inanimate objects, has a name – pareidolia.

It’s obviously a serious defect in us, making us, some of us anyway, see things like space aliens in the sky and religious figures in stains on a wall.

Evidently, people viewing pictures of the

Mars landscape see all kinds of weird things there.

I recall years ago, 1976 to be exact, the Viking spacecraft sent back pictures of “the face on Mars”, a rock that seemed to have a face.

Some people got all weird about it, likening it to the face of the image on the Turin shroud, which is believed to be Christ’s burial sheet.

Other people thought there had been a race on Mars who built massive stone images, much like the Ancient Egyptians with their sphinx and pyramids near Cairo.

But sorry to say, later and much clearer images, demonstrated how with a few dots and shapes here and there, we joined them together to see something familiar.

The thing was just a mountainous rock, with canyon-like indents for eyes and mouth.

Of course, the whole of the night sky is fraught with “pareidolian” images.

How the heck ancient

An image taken by NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter shows a muppet-shaped figure on the planet’s southern pole.

NASA/JPL/University of Arizona

claimed to have discovered canals on Mars.

Other astronomers of the time confirmed his sightings and an Irish astronomer, Charles Burton, made some famously published drawings of them.

Theory was that on this desert-like world, the inhabitants had dug canals to channel water from the polar caps.

As with the face on Mars, later observations with

people saw images like a ram, a lion and a crab in groups of stars, is beyond me.

Thank goodness the Southern Cross looks like a cross.

Mars is probably the location for one of the most unfortunate cases of pareidolia, actually involving astronomers.

In the 19th century an Italian astronomer, Giovanni Schiaparelli,

Beaker, one of the Muppets.

PHOTO/GETTY IMAGES

much improved telescopes showed that even these learned astronomers had connected the dots to see lines that simply aren’t there.

Anyway, enjoy the real red Mars riding high in the southern sky after dark.

Formerly known as Anil Raman Dental, it has been renamed Parkroad Dental to reflect the clinic now being home to multiple dental practitioners.

The new name was chosen because of the clinic’s location on Park Road, next to Memorial Square.

Originally the clinic was owned by Irvin Ross, with Anil Raman joining the practice in 1987 after graduating from Otago University in 1986 and eventually taking over the business.

Anil continues to work five days a week, with fellow dentists Miranda Woolgar and Sarah Ebbeling working three and two days respectively.

The practice also includes dental hygienist Rachel Holden who works five days a week, and visiting orthodontist Bhavik Patel.

They are an approachable, friendly team who can offer a wide range of services from a simple scale and polish to full dentures or cosmetic work.

Anil is passionate in his job to create healthy smiles and provide dental treatment to the highest standard, as well as giving patients ease of mind and comfort.

Miranda joined the practice in 2014.

She has lived in the Wairarapa for the past 15 years. Miranda has extensive and varied experience in the UK, Australia and New Zealand and has developed a special interest in cosmetic dentistry, one visit crowns and resin fibre bridges.

Sarah joined the practice last year.

She graduated from Otago University, gaining a Bachelor of Dental Surgery with Distinction.

Sarah enjoys the variety that general dentistry provides and the challenge of working with patients from all age groups, and from all walks of life.

Rachel originally starting her dental career in the New Zealand Army as a dental assistant, going on to gain a Diploma in Dental Hygiene from the University of Otago in 2001.

Bhavik visits once a fortnight. He completed a Masters Degree in Orthodontics (with distinction) in 2006, as well as being accepted as a member of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh.

The first person patients talk to on the phone or in person is Practice Administrator Teresa Reynolds.

22 Wairarapa Midweek Lifestyle Wednesday, September 5, 2018

At Greater Wellington we’re taking care of the things that matter.

In the Wairarapa, some of our biggest projects include water, floodplain and land management, transport and our environment.

Each month we’ll bring you an update on the important work that’s going on in your community.

Managing the Te Käuru Floodplain

Meet the team Bob Francis: Chair of Te Käuru Floodplain Management Subcommittee Bob was the Mayor of Masterton for 21 years and has vast experience in regional and national governance.

We all share a connection with the Ruamähanga River and value it in our own ways.

The Te Käuru catchment is spread over 1,560 square kilometres. It includes the Ruamähanga River and its upstream arms before it meets the Waiohine River.

HAVE YOUR SAY BY 16 SEPTEMBER 2018

The region has a history of flooding that can be dangerous and cause damage to life and property. For over 50 years, Wairarapa rivers have been managed to protect land and the community. Some of the methods used include stop banks and planting trees on river banks.

Find out more at tekauru.co.nz tekauru@gw.govt.nz, or phone 0800 496 734

We have been working with the community for several years on a new plan that better reflects local values.

The Te Käuru Upper Ruamähanga Subcommittee was set up in 2014. It started working on a draft floodplain management plan aimed at improving water quality and biodiversity as community values whilst meeting the challenge of protecting communities from flooding, erosion and damage. The draft plan is a longterm approach for managing flood and erosion risks.

The draft plan allows awa more freedom to move. The plan puts forward a number of things we can do to protect the community from erosion and flooding risks, especially in times of big floods. A lot of this builds on what we are already doing.

AWA (RIVERS) ARE THE LIFEBLOOD OF OUR COMMUNITY, BUT SOMETIMES OUR GREATEST TAONGA CAN BE OUR BIGGEST RISK.

Flooded Ruamähanga River in February 2004.

How is flood measured?

Q: What has been your biggest challenge?

The community has different groups with a range of expectations and values that they hold close to their heart. Balancing their views, expectations and values and then trying to produce a plan for the future that meets everyone’s needs has been challenging, but at the same time an enriching experience.

Q: What has been your most rewarding experience in this project?

Getting to talk to the community members and riverside landowners on how this draft plan affects them, has been one of the most satisfying experiences. There has been some really interesting and engaging conversations that I loved listening to.

HAVE YOUR SAY

A flood is measured in cubic metres per second (m³/s) and is sometimes known as a cumec. It is a measure of how much water flows past a given point every second. A flood measuring 2,500 m³/s would fill up approximately 60 Olympic size swimming pools in one minute, or practically one swimming pool every second.

March 1880 2830 m³/s

Bob Francis

Francie Morrow: Project Manager, Te Käuru Floodplain Management Plan Francie is one of the key people at Greater Wellington driving the floodplain management project, she has been involved for the past two years.

Community feedback is critical to the success of this project. In the last few weeks we’ve been meeting affected landowners.

We’ve had some great feedback and suggestions from the community on the draft plan, and we are looking forward to hearing your thoughts and ideas.

Q: What encouraged you to join this project?

I was invited to join the project as Chair about four years ago. I was confident with my networks, good knowledge of the catchment, wise selection of the subcommittee members and some quality officers involved, I could lead the team through to a successful project conclusion.

Though there have been some challenges and we need to progress with the Waipoua reach, I have been impressed with the level of goodwill and recognition, and that well-researched and quality plans are being accepted and recognised by all parties.

Spring clean your town Volunteering Wairarapa

Jill Greathead A couple of years ago a new Carterton resident, Sean Mulcahy, rang me and said that he would like to organise a group of volunteers to clean the shop fronts before Carterton’s big day ‘Daffodil Festival’, when thousands of visitors arrive in town.

This idea came to Sean when he volunteered at Carterton’s ‘Paint the Town’ project held in 2015.

He was so impressed by that project he wanted to do something to contribute to his new community.

Sean had noticed that the shopfronts get dirty with diesel and petrol fumes and he felt it would help our shop owners to show their best face at the Daffodil Festival.

He visited the 60 plus shops in Carterton’s retail area and all said “yes” to a free clean of their facades.

Three years later Sean is planning this year’s spring clean.

If you would like to help Sean, join him this Saturday, September 8 at 2pm outside TLC on High St (opposite Video Ezy) with a bucket and cloth

(and step ladder if you have one).

Any questions should be directed to Sean on 06 379 9316 or 0274 803 194 or email him on mulcahy@ xtra.co.nz.

If like Sean, you have an idea to enhance your community, let us know here at Volunteering Wairarapa and we can put you in touch with volunteers to help you and help you promote your event.

New bike trails explored

The Wairarapa Regional Mountain Bike Trails Trust (WRMBTT) has released a summary of its assessment on the feasibility of developing new mountain bike trails and experiences in the region.

WRMBTT chairperson Jonathan Hooker said the summary concluded that the proposed trails are anticipated to be popular with locals and visitors alike.

“They will meet an identified need for a wider range of mountain bike trails in Wairarapa, allowing more people to enjoy the areas by bike.

“While we obviously acknowledge there will be upfront costs associated with developing the trails, the assessment anticipates that they will be economically beneficial to the area in the short term and beyond.

“The assessment also suggested the development and management of the trails will be most successful if they’re community-led, and that WRMBTT is well placed to fill this role.

“The main barrier to these trails being developed appears to be the Department of Conservation’s proposed Conservation

I like the challenge mountain biking gives me, whether I’m with friends or not. You just get in the moment and nothing beats that adrenalin rush.

Management Strategy, which does not currently allow the Remutaka and Holdsworth trails or the Kiriwhakapapa extensions to be developed.”

As part of the assessment, a survey aimed at everyone from long-term Wairarapa residents to riders from out of the region was distributed across several social media platforms.

It covered a wide range of questions about the riding opportunities available in Wairarapa, as well as the three proposed new trails: the Remutaka Descent, a Tararua Forest Park Mt Holdsworth Mountain Bike Trails and the Kiriwhakapapa Trail.

“To encourage a wide

sample of responses, the comprehensive survey was linked to a competition to win a bike courtesy of Avanti-Plus Masterton, South Wairarapa and Masterton South Rotary clubs,” Hooker said.

Shane Priddle was the lucky recipient, winning a

bike for his son Angus.

Originally from Wairarapa, Shane attended Kuranui College before moving to Karori, where he decided to get into cycling.

Concerned that the roads in Wellington may not be the safest, Shane

took up mountain biking instead.

For Shane, mountain biking offers him a way to release stress, stay fit and have fun.

“I like the challenge mountain biking gives me, whether I’m with friends or not.

“You just get in the moment and nothing beats that adrenalin rush.”

The lack of decent grade three trails has put him off biking in Wairarapa at present, but he believes this new initiative will attract more people like himself to the area.

Shane thinks that putting in new trails around Wairarapa is a great opportunity for the region, and he hopes that he and his son will be amongst the first riders to try out the new tracks.

His advice for anyone interested in giving mountain biking a go is to find a group to start with and get decent coaching; but above all have fun.

“You meet new people, you get outside and enjoy what nature has to offer.

That’s hard to beat.”

Chanel College celebrates 40TH anniversary Chanel College is celebrating its 40th anniversary from Friday 14th to Sunday 16th September.

“

The weekend will also mark 120 years since the Brigidine Sisters arrived in Masterton to establish Saint Brides College for girls the following year.

Members of the public are warmly invited to join former students and the Chanel community at the Food and Cultural Festival from 10am to 12.30pm on Saturday. Along with music and dance from the many cultural backgrounds of the students, there will be a range of food and gift stalls and a hangi for 200.

Celebrations will begin with registrations on Friday evening from 6pm with former students from St Brides and St Joseph’s also invited to attend.

It will also be an opportunity to discover the many changes that have taken place at Chanel since it opened in 1978 and meet new Principal Debi Marshall-Lobb.

Saturday will be busy with the Food & Cultural Festival, guided tours, and historical photographs and memorabilia on display in the assembly hall and library.

On Saturday afternoon the official reunion photographs will be taken followed in the evening by the jubilee reunion dinner, jubilee cake cutting, and dance at Copthorne

”

Solway Park from 7pm with Member of Parliament and former Chanel College Head Boy Kieran McAnulty the guest speaker.

The reunion will end on Sunday morning with Mass at St Patrick’s Church at 9am followed by morning tea.

Wharenui renovations revealed

Principal Debi Marshall Lobb (centre), Head of English Claire Hills and students in front of the restored wharenui

Hinerangi, the wharenui at Chanel College, will be a very important part of the school’s 40th celebrations. Hinerangi has been the subject of a major restoration project over the past two years, made possible by Chanel College PTFA fundraising.

The wharenui was blessed in 1994 with three Chanel College girls leading the puhi - Naomi Miller, Abby-lee O’Connor and Agnes Aukustino - who will be returning for the jubilee.

Carvings for the welcoming gate and porch of the wharenui were carved by inmates of Rimutaka Prison’s rehabilitation unit, led by master carver Dave Te Hira. These have been restored by Chanel parent and carver Jason Paku and former staff member Francis McNally.

Tukutuku panels woven by students remain in the wharenui, with new kowhaiwhai panels added.

Debi attended Saint Joseph’s Maori Girls College and is fluent in Maori as well as sign language.

One of the features that makes Hinerangi special is that the history of both Wairarapa iwi - Rangitāne and Ngāti Kahungunu - are recognised in the beautiful carvings.

She was the foundation principal for Te Kura Kaupapa Maori o Manawatu in 1990, the first Maori immersion school established south of Auckland and former principal of Hato Paora College in Feilding.

The wharenui is named after Hinerangi, a tupuna (common ancestor) of both iwi, a carving of whom is above the entrance door.

Chanel College and the Catholic community has historically had a strong relationship with the Maori community in the Wairarapa, says Principal Debi Marshall-Lobb.

The fact that Chanel has had its own marae and wharenui for 25 years is an example of the long standing strength of the relationship, she says.

Debi is one of two Te Reo teachers at the school. She notes Chanel is lucky to have two as there is a shortage of Te Reo teachers nationwide.

At the Wharenui the ceremonies will start with a Whakatau at 1pm followed by the ceremonies of welcome to the reunion, and the celebration of the Wharenui renovations.

CHANEL IS CELEBRATING 40 YEARS as part of a proud tradition of 120 years of Catholic secondary school education in Wairarapa.

PLANNING FOR TOMORROW SEPTEMBER IS WILLS MONTH

Half of New Zealanders don’t have a WILL September is Public Trust’s Wills Month.

With less than half of the New Zealand population currently holding Wills, it’s something more people need to think about. According to Public Trust research, some of the most common reasons people haven’t got a will include:  They don’t believe they have enough assets to justify getting a Will.  They don’t believe there is any need to hurry with getting a Will.

 They simply haven’t got around to getting one or don’t believe they have enough time.  They haven’t got anyone that they to want to leave assets to or haven’t decided who to leave them to.  They believe that getting a will is expensive or complicated.

 Name a guardian for your children  Outline your funeral wishes  Name who will receive particular valuable items as special gifts  Provide special instructions around the distribution of particular assets  Detail your preferences for the ongoing care of your pets.

There’s more to a Will than just how you want your house or financial assets to be divided. It’s also where you can:

Public Trust recommends updating your will every five years or whenever there is a notable change in your life circumstances.

The importance of making a WILL Pause for one moment and consider what will happen if you are no longer around, or lose mental capacity to make decisions.

Like many, you may have put these issues into the “too hard to deal with” basket. Who wants to think about such morbid issues or the “what ifs” anyway?

Survey results reveal that half of Kiwis don’t have a Will. There’s an old saying, “Where there’s a will, there’s a way” but if there isn’t a Will, there isn’t a way to ensure your property is disposed of in accordance with your wishes.

Accordingly, having an up-to-date Will is

an important estate planning tool. When someone dies, their property is disposed of in accordance with their Will, subject of course to any claims.

If a person dies without a will (intestate), then the distribution rules under the Administration Act 1969 apply. These rules leave everything to the deceased’s next of kin in a fixed order. It is important to note that a deceased person’s estate does not automatically pass to their spouse or partner.

Another planning tool is an Enduring Power of Attorney (EPA). An EPA is a document

where you appoint an attorney(s) to manage your property affairs or make decisions about your health, generally if you cannot.

What happens if you can no longer make decisions and don’t have an EPA? Typically, your next of kin will be required to apply to the Family Court for guardianship orders on your behalf in order to manage your affairs or make decisions for you.

Making EPAs while mentally capable removes the stress, hassle and cost of applying to the court.

Farmers seek advisory group

Rural

Steve Rendle Farmers want more of a voice at the Masterton District Council (MDC) table if the proposal to ditch the lone rural ward goes ahead.

Last week, the council heard from Federated Farmers provincial president William Beetham, the only submitter to request to be heard on the issue, among a total of just four submissions.

Along with one rural ward, the council currently has four urban wards, and five members elected ‘at large’, meaning they can be voted for by all residents.

Federated Farmers’ written submission pointed out that this meant that urban residents could vote for nine councillors while rural voters were limited to determining six representatives.

While questioning whether a change was actually necessary, it said it would support a move to all councillors being elected ‘at large’ if the council “immediately establishes either a rural advisory or farmers’ reference group to ensure adequate and

relevant representation of the primary production sector”.

The group did not favour community boards because they “report to council … they don’t sit on it” – but Beetham admitted that giving an advisory group some real influence over council would be a challenge.

“We would need to flesh out how that would work.”

Only one current councillor – John Dalziel – had significant “big farm” experience, with current rural ward representative, Deputy Mayor Graham McClymont, supporting getting rid of the rural ward.

COUNTRY LIVESTOCK Report for Week Ending 31/08/18,

by Ian Hicks.

Beetham said the challenge was getting candidates with farming experience to stand for election, given the demands on time faced by councillors.

“What we are concerned about is looking for opportunities for more diversity among councillors,” he said.

“The key thing we believe is that the role has to be attractive to get good candidates standing.

“We want to work to see how we can promote great people to put up for election.”

He pointed out Masterton was largely a rural service town, and the written submission spelled out farmers’ expectations.

“Rural service expectations and demands of a district council can differ from those of urban residents.

“For example, farmers want MDC to focus on rural road improvements and effective regulatory management [poorly designed land use rules have a massive impact on farmers], rather than urban concerns such as sewage reticulation, lighting and footpaths.”

Another great Daffodil Festival coming up this Sunday!

Wairarapa’s annual spring celebration - the Carterton Daffodil Festival - takes place this Sunday 9 September. The Festival will again offer an abundance of activities including the famous Daffodil picking at Middlerun, street markets, horse drawn surrey rides, the Big Wai Art Sale in the Carterton Events Centre and loads more.

Buses will be running throughout the day starting at 9.45am to shuttle people to and from Middle Run. There is no parking at Middlerun to ensure safety of Daffodil pickers.

People are encouraged to leave their cars in town and make use of the FREE bus service with the bus stop located on Masson Street just off Broadway. A small fee is charged to pick the daffodils, with all proceeds going to Wairarapa charities of Plunket and St John.

LEARN TO SWIM

The Festival’s street market will boast dozens of stalls featuring local arts & crafts, yummy treats, children’s rides and live entertainment.

This year’s Festival will also see the welcome return of the Daffodil Express, an historic steam train that brings visitors from Wellington.

Operated by Steam Incorporated, the train will depart Wellington Railway Station and arrive around 10.30am. There will also be a chance to enjoy a short ride on the Daffodil Express between Carterton and Masterton.

People attending the Festival will also be able to view remarkable artwork at the Big Wai Art Sale in the Carterton Events Centre and participate in the on-going activities there, including live music at TLC opposite the old Post Office.

The Festival is organised by the Carterton District Council. The Street Market is proudly supported and co-ordinated by the Lions Club of Carterton.

Business closure after growing ban on peas Beckie Wilson A long-standing Wairarapa seed processing plant has announced it will close its doors in December due to the region-wide pea growing ban.

Masterton Vegetable Seeds Ltd directors Percy and Norma McFadzean announced the closure to their customers, via email, last month.

“We have tried to find ways to keep the plant open since the arrival of pea weevil, but we now have also to battle the low volumes of seeds growing in the region as well as an overall increase in operation cost,” the letter said.

The plant, on Akura Rd, specialised in the processing of smaller seeds.

They thanked their customers for their support and will close on December 7.

Percy, a Masterton businessman, told the Wairarapa Times-Age he did not want to comment further on the closure, or disclose the number of staff affected.

Federated Farmers national arable chair, MPI’s arable industry representative and Gladstone cropping farmer, Karen Williams, said the closure announcement was “gut-wrenching”.

Williams said she learnt of the closure via email as a customer.

The two-year pea growing ban was

enforced in July 2016 and re-extended for another two years in May with a review next year.

Peas were one of the most popular grown crops in the region before the ban.

The region’s crop farmers who record a loss from the growing ban are eligible for compensation, but it is understood associated businesses, such as the plant, are not.

Before the ban was set in place in 2016, there were negotiations with the industry around Wairarapa growers securing alternative growing contracts during the pea growing ban, Williams said.

There had been a “massive drop off” of contracts for growers while they were taking the hit for the industry, she said. ”Very little has been offered and [the closure] was a consequence.”

The closure could impact the processing of this season’s crops, but Williams worried what would happen when the pea growing ban was lifted and there would be an influx in crops for processing.

Local growers and the industry had been searching for alterative high-value crops that could be produced in the region in the interim, and the closure would affect that, she said.

Williams said she would have to consider transporting crops out of the

region for processing.

Masterton’s Seeds and Cereals owner Bruce Tocher said the closure was a shame for the region and its growers.

“It’s indicative of what’s going on and the downturn in the industry . . . It’s very hard for growers at the moment, the costs they are incurring are pretty out there,” he said.

Wairarapa MP Alastair Scott said it was sad for the owners. ”[Percy] knew when pea weevil came that it would be a risk to his business. ”I assume he had tried to adapt to the conditions and he has come to a logical conclusion that that processing unit isn’t sustainable,” Scott said.

Wairarapa Chamber of Commerce general manager Catherine Rossiter-Stead said the region was building an image around high-valued food products and the plant could have been part of that. ”This is a business that is directly employing local people and is putting money directly into the economy. ”We probably need to look at being more collaborative and helping businesses like this so they can continue operating,” she said.

Masterton Mayor Lyn Patterson said the closure of any local business employing staff was not great news.

A flexible approach to work saw Masterton investment firm, Rival Wealth, named a winner at the Diversity Awards in Auckland last week.

At a gala dinner, in front of 700 business people and Carmel Sepuloni, the Minister for Social Development and Disability Issues, the company picked up the Work Life Balance Award.

Right from the start, there was a commitment to flexible working arrangements.

It has paid off in high rates of staff retention, and customer satisfaction scores of 96 per cent.

The company has a document called ‘Our Rules’, which sets the foundation of its philosophy and ‘pods’ are used to create back-up for everyone’s role.

The pods are responsible for letting other members know about key information they have missed.

Harcourts survive thrilling Carterton netball comeback NETBALL

RESULTS SENIOR FINALS

Jake Beleski Harcourts repelled a brave challenge from Carterton to win a thrilling Netball Wairarapa premier one final at Colombo Rd on Saturday.

It was expected to be a tight match after both teams had hit top form in the last couple of weeks. That is exactly what transpired, Harcourts eventually triumphing by just three goals, 46-43.

Carterton made a nervous start, throwing several passes either out of bounds or straight to the opposition, allowing Harcourts to open up a 15-7 lead at the end of the first quarter. Their stifling defence was working just as well as their fluid attack.

But Carterton rallied to win the second quarter and close the gap to 25-19 at halftime, before going up a gear in the second half.

All of a sudden the passes were finding their targets, and there was a lot more rhythm to what they were doing.

They managed to close the deficit to 27-25 before they were struck a cruel blow, with inspirational leader Abby Scott pulling up with a leg injury and having to leave the game.

Harcourts held a 34-30 lead after three quarters, and it felt like Carterton may have missed their chance.

The teams traded goals through the last quarter with neither being able to make a meaningful run, before Carterton turned the screws in the last couple of minutes and found themselves behind by just one goal.

It looked as if it may end up being a repeat of last year’s final, where Celtic overhauled a six-goal

deficit in the final quarter to beat Harcourts 38-37.

But Harcourts had obviously learned from that match. They stayed composed with star goal shoot Te Rina Boyce stepping up to nail a couple of crucial goals, and extend the final margin to three goals.

Boyce was outstanding for Harcourts, while goal defence Shyanne Aporro was arguably the player of the match after forcing numerous turnovers with her smart defensive play.

Harcourts coach Geraldine Carroll said her girls were ecstatic after the final whistle.

“It was amazing – I was so proud of my shooters.

“Te Rina Boyce stepped up – she’s young and she was amazing [on Saturday].”

Carroll paid tribute to Carterton for their contribution to the final and a successful season.
