Cracker Olympics capers‘‘They made movie trailers of each sport so everyone wouldknow how to play, and held practices.’’Teacher, Raewyn Morris

RICHARD MAYS

An Olympic Games without NewZealand would be unthinkable.

But it happened.New Zealand was deliberately

excluded from the AshhurstSchool Olympic Games day lastweek.

Twenty other ‘countries’ tookpart in the extended learningsession and sports day, butteacher Raewyn Morris said therewas method in the exclusion‘madness’.

New Zealand was purposefullyleft out because most pupils prob-ably wanted to be in the Kiwiteam.

It would also be unfair whenother teams had to compete

against any of the girls and boyswho had been selected to wear thesilver fern.

Instead, New Zealand weredeclared official hosts, leaving theother countries to battle it out forthe medals.

The 20 teams in nationalcostumes and facepaint, wavinghandmade flags and mascots, andwearing individual flag tags,assembled at 9am for a half-hourlong opening ceremony beforetaking part in 10 sporting fixturesaround the school grounds.

Every aspect of the games was

overseen by the school’s year 7and 8 pupils, and that includedselecting the types of sportingevents, with teachers acting onlyin supervisory roles.

‘‘They made movie trailers ofeach sport so everyone wouldknow how to play, and heldpractices,’’ Morris said.

Along with usual Olympicsevents such as soccer and hockey,handball, team relays and ath-letics, there were alternate gamessuch as dodgeball and ultimatefrisbee, tug-a-war, nukem ball - amodified version of volleyball so

even new entrants could play -and capture the flag.

Senior pupils contributed asrefs, timekeepers, scorekeepers,designers, marketing and media.

Media rep Gabbie Drury, 13,said her job was to ask people howthe games were going, and whothey thought was going to win.

‘‘Poland, China and USA arethe one’s to beat,’’ Gabbie saidafter the first three rounds hadbeen completed - though Indiawas making an unexpectedlystrong showing.

Countries won 3 points for a

win, 2 for a draw and 1 for a loss.School prefects Bethany Mit-

chell and Thomas Fowell, both 13,ran the opening ceremony andwere tasked with selectingparticipants for sportsmanshipawards, as well as handing outbonus ‘‘greenies’’ - notes that canbe redeemed for special activityrewards at the end of term - toothers doing well.

The gold, silver and bronzemedals were made out of roundssliced from a pruned tree branch,and decorated with a ribbon andthe specially designed schoolOlympics logo.

For the record, Poland toppedthe medal count with India sec-ond, but school participation wasthe winner all the way.

YOUR PAPER, YOUR PLACE

Most people should have receivedtheir voting papers for the localgovernment elections by now.

There’s still a couple of weeksuntil each postal vote needs to bein on October 8 so there’s a littlebit more time to consider whoyou’d like to see on our citycouncil, district health board andregional council.

Local government electionstypically have a low voter turnoutand it would be a shame to see toomany people in our PalmerstonNorth community feelingcomplacent about who is tobecome the leaders in ourcommunity.

I’d encourage you all to makean effort to seek out informationon the candidates, decide whatissues are important to you andvote.

The opportunity only comesaround once every three years somake the most of it.

Silver medal chuffs city disc golf champRICHARD MAYS

women’s disc

from the first

world team

championship

event with a

silver medal.

WILSON/FAIRFAX NZ

Disc golf may not be part of theOlympic or Paralympic pantheon,but its medals are just as hardwon.

Palmerston North’s New Zea-land women’s disc golf championhas returned from Canada with asilver medal in the alternatesport.

In August, Gemma Sullivanwent to Vancouver as a memberof the Flying Kiwis eight-memberdisc golf team to contest theinaugural world team champion-ships.

The Tribune first talked to Sul-livan about the fast growing sportin April, her fundraising cam-paign to get to the worlds, and herbid to have a city disc golf courseset up in the Linklater Reserve.

Disc golf rules and terms arethe same as for golf, exceptinstead of clubs, it is played withplastic flying discs. Canada is thehome and a stronghold of thesport, and for the fledgling Kiwiteam to come out runners-up inthe 18-hole match play tourna-ment against five other nations,was something of an upset.

‘‘It was an awesome trip. Wedidn’t expect to do so well as discgolf is not nearly as big here as itis there.’’

Sullivan played a pivotal rolein getting the team into the finalsby sinking a vital putt in the semiagainst Canada to ensure a playoff

that the Kiwis went on to win.However, in the final, a game

Sullivan didn’t take part in, TeamUSA proved too strong and theNew Zealand team settled for sil-ver and a US$1500 purse.

Famous Kiwi sportsmanshipwas on display too, with the Kiwissharing the competition’s Spirit of

the Game award with Brazil.Being at the tournament

though, opened Sullivan’s eyes tojust how big the sport was in thenorthern hemisphere.

‘‘There are so many people onthe courses - they were packed.The interest is huge.’’

Sullivan was looking forward

to defending her title in Februaryat the Paradise Course nearQueenstown, a tournament thathas attracted several overseasplayers.

There are also hopes of repeat-ing July’s successful FoxtonFriendly which was held on thetown’s golf course, and also next

year, Sullivan will be helpingdesign and establish PalmerstonNorth’s first disc golf course withher brother and fellow FlyingKiwis member Jackson.

Sullivan’s proposal for thecourse at Linklater Reserve wassuccessful, and work is expectedto begin in July next year.

One of the biggest exhibitions ever tocome to Te Manawa has local sponsorssuch as Broadway Radiology to thank.

The London Natural History Museum’sDinosaur Encounter opens at Te Manawaon September 24 and will run untilFebruary 25 next year. It’s the first timethe exhibition has been shown in theSouthern Hemisphere and Te Manawais the exclusive North Island venue forDinosaur Encounter.

Chief Executive, Andy Lowe, says thesupport of sponsors such as BroadwayRadiology is key to making largeexhibitions the best they can be.

“Bringing an exhibition of such a highcalibre as Dinosaur Encounter from thefar side of the world is a tremendousundertaking. By working togetherwith local business we can make theexperience truly memorable,” he says.

Andy Lowe explains that support from thebusiness community helps Te Manawato amplify the experience “through oureducational programmes that will link

local prehistoric events and our ownnatural history.”

A massive Tyrannosaurus Rex will standas the 4.5 metre tall centrepiece and willbe joined by other well-known creaturessuch as Triceratops, Ankylosaurus andOrnithomimus.

The gallery is being transformed into aprimordial jungle for the massive beaststo inhabit. Reproductions of fossil remainsadd breadth to the experience.

The exhibition has been developedby the Natural History Museum inLondon where designers and scientistsworked closely together to create anunprecedented level of realism. In all ninemoving dinosaur models will be broughtto life by state-of-the-art animatronics.

“We’re so excited to bring this exhibitionto New Zealand for the first time,” AndyLowe says. “Dinosaurs are a constant inthe public imagination. There’s no betterlighting rod for both science and naturalhistory.”

Broadway Radiology is locally ownedand operated and its General Manager,Duncan Scott, says, in identifying with thecommunity, it wants to support excellencethrough its sponsorship programme.

“Te Manawa is a cultural icon andopportunities such as this to sponsorDinosaur Encounter enable thecommunity to be enriched throughan exhibition that will enhance theireducation and life experience,” he says.

“Dinosaur Encounter, which is here forfive months and extends through theChristmas holidays, will be a greatdrawcard for our city and impress uponpeople that Palmerston North is animportant business hub and has manyoutstanding attractions.”

2016 is a milestone year for the city’spre-eminent provider of imaging services.It’s already sponsored Centrepoint for thethird year in a row and now Te Manawa.In December it will relocate to its newmulti-million dollar facility in Grey Streetto further augment its services to theManawatu and Horowhenua regions.

Hurdle cleared for course

Plans for a high ropes course to be set up onPalmerston North’s Railway Land have overcome acrucial obstacle.

City councillors have voted 11-5 to grant alicence to Tekton Ltd to operate the commercialventure on the central city reserve.

For operator Todd Karipa, the breakthroughcomes 10months after first applying to the councilfor a licence to lease a portion of the land.

Karipa said he had never expected the processto take so long, but he understood the councilneeded to do things properly. He also respectedthe views of the Railway Action Group, whichopposed the licence.

Group spokeswomanMarilyn Bulloch said shewas disappointed to have to fight again to have theland preserved as open green space.

The group had been defending the land fromdevelopment proposals for 23 years.

Poppy field finds new homeRICHARD MAYS

poppy field created in Palmerston North. PHOTO: RICHARD MAYS/FAIRFAX NZ

A handmade ‘‘poppy field’’created by Palmerston Northpeople as the city’s Com-munity Arts contribution tolast year’s Anzac centennialhas found a permanent home.

On Saturday the 5 metre by1.2 metre field, with its morethan 1200 handmade knittedand felted poppies, washanded over to Dick Tredwelland Steve Thomson of theTinui Parish Anzac Trust tohang in the Tinui War Mem-orial Hall.

Tinui is the Wairarapafarming settlement wherepossibly the world’s first for-mal Anzac Day service washeld on April 25, 1916.

In 1914 there were morethan a thousand single menliving in the Tinui area. Manyof them volunteered, andmany died.

‘‘I don’t think the averageperson realises the extent ofhow that war ravaged theranks of our young men,’’Thomson said.

In 1916, the Reverend BasilAshcroft held the Anzac cer-emony, and he and hisparishioners erected a crosson the hill overlooking Tinui.

Thomson said the priestthen immediately resignedfrom the parish and went toserve on the Western Frontwith the next echelon ofreinforcements as a chaplain.He returned to resume hisduties at Tinui in 1919.

Ashcroft’s great grandsonis a colonel in the New Zea-

land Defence Force, and spokeat Tinui’s 100th Anzac com-memoration.

Tredwell said that Tinui’sAnzac tradition had become agalvanising influence in thesmall community, and theywere pleased to offer thepoppy field a home.

Community Arts’ CarolLeckie said the field, dis-played in the Square Edge gal-lery last year, was originally

intended for the WaiouruArmy Museum.

However, as the museumwas inundated with poppiesand the local RSA hadnowhere for it to hang, theTinui Trust was approached,and accepted custodianship ofthe handcrafted work.

‘‘We weren’t prescriptiveabout our poppies, so theycame in a lot of different sizesand shapes with all sorts of

individual embellishments,’’Leckie said.

As well as commemoratingthe local men who died duringthe Great War, the hall con-tains memorabilia from theconflict and from the originalAnzac Day service.

‘‘A lot of people contri-buted to the poppy field, andthey’d be interested to knowwhere it ended up,’’ Leckiesaid.

Cleaning up one refuse dump at a time

RICHARD MAYS

Tidy Kiwis we don’t appear to be.Forty volunteers turned up in

the rain, some dressed assuperheroes, for the second leg ofthe Palmy Keep New ZealandBeautiful Week on Saturday atthe Hokowhitu Lagoon.

During the previous week, 32lunch-hour litter pickers hadgrabbed up 25 rubbish sacks oftrash from Palmerston North’sTennent Dr between Anzac Parkand Mogine Hill. Several citycouncil staff also contributed tothat exercise, and helped disposeof the full rubbish bags.

Both litter blitzes werespearheaded by Fonterra packag-ing technologist Tom Carr andHeather Knox of the Palmy DirtyThirty.

Dubbed ’Captain Planet’ for hisclean up endeavours while walk-

ing to work along Summerhill Dr,Carr came armed with his owncustomised garbage grabber, aswell as a couple of dozen grabberssupplied by Fonterra for the othervolunteers to use.

‘‘They make it easier on every-body’s backs,’’ he said.

‘‘The [collectors] who went upthe hill past Massey didn’t get toofar. They picked up so much rub-bish, they had to stop and bringtheir bags back,’’ Carr said.

Fonterra colleague BarryMabey said he picked up cans,dumped nappies, a 41⁄2 litre oil con-tainer, plenty of fast-foodwrappers and lots of cigarettebutts.

Knox said she was surprised atthe amount of rubbish collectedduring the two sessions.

‘‘On Saturday, peoplecommented on how many breadtags and bread bags were found

around the lagoon. A shame asyou’re not really supposed to feedbread to the ducks.’’

Similar to what was found atAnzac Park during the week,there were a lot of cigarette butts,straws and general rubbish.

Knox said quite a bit of theAnzac Park rubbish was over theedge of the cliff and only needed abit more wind or rain for it to endup in the river.

On Saturday she said theyfound plenty of litter scatteredthrough the Esplanade.

‘‘There were bottles, cans, andcrisp packets in flower beds andalong the bush tracks.’’

An hour of ‘‘serious picking’’saw the litter posse cram every-thing into seven bulging rubbishbags.

Well not everything. The vol-unteer who found the $20 morethan likely took that home.

100 years of electric motoringRICHARD MAYS

alongside modern Nissan Leafs. PHOTO: WARWICK SMITH/FAIRFAX NZ.

Drive Electric week culminatedin a low-key way in The Square onSaturday, largely due to theweather.

Organised by The Better NZTrust in co-ordination with theEnergy Efficiency and Conser-vation Authority to promote elec-tric vehicles, renewable energyand low emissions, a ‘Parade,Park and Ride’ event saw a smallprocession of electric vehiclescircle The Square in the rain,

before parking so members of thethe public could inspect the carsand question their owners.

The parade was led out by a100-year-old electric vehicle, a1916 tiller-steered Detroit towncar, popularised in Disney comicsas Grandma Duck’s ‘‘li’l ol’ elec-tric’’.

Owner Brian Rankine, whotowed the veteran EV on a cartrailer, said the Detroit was alsothe car favoured by Clara Ford,wife of motor magnate Henry.

‘‘She didn’t drive a Ford. Elec-

tric cars were popular withwomen because they didn’t needto be cranked to start.’’

In 1900 there were more elec-tric vehicles on the road thanthere were petrol-poweredvehicles.

Apart from the Detroit, the par-ade’s five Nissan Leafs, two citycouncil Toyota Prius and aMitsubishi Outlander plug-inhybrid electric vehicles, werebarely distinguishable from anymodern fossil fuel poweredvehicle.

Feilding’s

monthly Sharing

Garden working

bee.

A community group based in andaround Feilding is promotinggreater community resiliencethrough the permaculture ideas ofEarth care, people care and fairsharing.

Transition Feilding have anactive gardening group that hasbeen busy working on a variety offood growing and sharinginitiatives.

Its Sharing Garden is anongoing community gardeningproject located at the corner ofFeilding’s North St and Duke St.

On what was once a vacant lot,the group’s volunteers have usedfree or donated resources to cre-ate productive vegetable gardensfor the community to come andharvest fresh food as needed.

Most of the work isaccomplished during the regularmonthly working bees held on thesecond Saturday of each monthfrom 10.30am to 12.30pm.

There’s also a ’sharing table’where produce from the garden,or the surpluses from people’shome gardens is shared on a ‘takewhat you need, leave what you

don’t’ basis.Due to the success of this

sharing table, the group is lookingat establishing other sharingpoints around Feilding so thatevery neighbourhood could haveone within easy walking distance.

At the other end of Duke St,Transition Feilding volunteers

have been working with theManawatu Community Trust toplant productive gardens of edibleor useful plants around the build-ings at the new Feilding HealthCare facility.

The plants have been donatedby Greenhaus Nursery or pur-chased with funds raised at their

community market stalls.The most recent initiative sees

the group joining forces withFeilding Public Library staff tostart a seed library.

Based at the library, membersare able to ‘borrow’ some seeds togrow, save and return to thelibrary for others to use next

season. The library is collectingseed donations and aims to have arange of seeds packaged and avail-able for borrowers in November.

Looking for some ‘shed sheilas’ to share

Glass artist Serena Mercer is joining Takaro Rotary’s 2017 Girls in Sheds fundraiser. PHOTO: EMILY BORRIE/ FAIRFAX NZ

RICHARD MAYS ‘‘Girls, we want yoursheds... If you don'thave a shed, we canset one up for you inone of ourgardens.’’Marilyn O'Halloran

3D dichroic glass artist SerenaMercer likes taking risks.

The self-taught designer andteacher has never been one forrules, forging her own way tounique artworks by trial, errorand experimentation.

Mistakes often turn up trumps,Mercer said, but the ones thatdon’t, well she has a way withthose too.

‘‘Mistakes I don’t like, go underthe hammer.’’

This is no auction she istalking about.

‘‘I smash them up, rearrangethe pieces and re-cook them.’’

Dichroic glass has a specialcoating so that it changes huedepending on lighting, and Mer-cer makes one-off jewellery andornaments as well as bespokepieces to order.

Last February, Mercer boughta ticket to Takaro Rotary’s GirlsSheds fundraiser, a tour of 20Manawatu sheds showcasingfemale crafts and hobbyists.

‘‘I loved it. I really enjoyedmeeting new people and talking toall the incredibly creative women,and seeing what they were doing.It was just a really good day.’’

Rapt by the experience, Mercer

now finds herself the poster girlfor the 2017 Girls Sheds.

Takaro Rotary’s MarilynO’Halloran recruited Mercer, who

will be showing off her kilns, herglass classes, and her crafts onFebruary 19 next year. In 2016, theGirls Sheds raised $8000 towards

community and youth projectsand O’Halloran would love to dothe same again.

To do that, she needs more tal-

ented women to share the con-tents of their sheds.

‘‘Girls, we want your sheds. Ifyou have a shed that houses ahobby or an income, we’d love toinclude you on next year’s tour.The only cost to you is that we askfor one item to be donatedtowards our giant raffle on theday, which runs from 9am to4.30pm,’’ O’Halloran said.

Last February, the shedsincluded heritage furniture resto-ration, leadlighting, soap making,metal and stone art, craft cheese,porcelain dolls, bears, and ediblegardens.

‘‘We run the day a bit like agarden tour. If you don’t have ashed, we can set one up for you inone of our gardens, but morepeople please.’’

To join next February’s shedsisters or ‘‘sheddies’’, contactO’Halloran on 355 8638.

Judas tree survives the chopRICHARD MAYS

Donna and Mark Tavendale’s appeal to save this tree outside their home has

born fruit. PHOTO: WARWICK SMITH/FAIRFAX NZ

An established Manawaroa Sttree facing the chop has beensaved thanks to some dedicatedresidents.

A flowering Judas tree on theberm outside the home of Donnaand Mark Tavendale was markedfor felling as part of aCity Councilstreet refurbishment scheme.

The plan was to create anavenue entrance of floweringcherry trees along the street lead-ing to the Victoria Esplanade,

matching the Park Rd entrance tothe gardens.

As well as lobbying the councilover the plans to take out the tree,Tavendale took to social media,gathering enough support todelay the project.

‘‘It is a lovely sight when it isin flower and every year we getpeople taking photos of it,’’Tavendale said.

Her campaign resulted in thecouncil plans being put on holdwhile further consultations tookplace.

While the street’s remainingtrees will be removed in a two-to-three-day operation that gotunder way Tuesday, theTavendale’s tree will stay.

In a letter to Manawaroa Stresidents, the council’s MurrayPhillips advised residents of thefelling and stump-grinding oper-ation that will allow for the plant-ing of 35 flowering cherries alongthe street’s grass berms.

‘‘I'd encourage you all to seek outinformation on the council candidatesand make an effort to vote.’’

‘‘It's not good enough for all the benefitsto go to a few people at the top.’’Iain Lees-Galloway, Palmerston North Labour MP

The myth of our nation’s growing economy

Treadmills mean an awful lot of running without ever getting anywhere - is this

what the latest economic growth figures are all about?

IAIN LEES-GALLOWAY

HAVE YOUR SAY

The Tribunewelcomes letters. Theyshould not exceed 250words andmust carry a genuine name, homeaddress and daytime phonenumber. Lettersmay be edited,abridged or omittedwithoutexplanation. They can be emailed [email protected] or posted to POBox 3, Palmerston North to bereceived by 4pmon the Thursdayprior to publication.

I’m not a big fan of treadmills. IfI’m running I want to get some-where or at least enjoy thejourney.

All that effort, sweat and painjust to stand still doesn’t holdmuch appeal. Our economy is ona treadmill right now.

We seem to be working harderand harder, there’s a lot moresweat and a lot more pain, but westill feel like we’re going abso-lutely nowhere.

Last week the Governmentproudly announced that New Zea-land’s annual GDP growth had hit3.6 per cent. That, they told us, putNew Zealand amongst the fastestgrowing nations in the OECD.

That all sounds like good news.A growing economy should leadto more jobs, higher wages andbetter living standards. But itisn’t and there’s a very simplereason why: all our economicgrowth has been driven by a

growing population.GDP growth per person, the

share of the growing economythat we each get to enjoy is, just0.7 per cent.

New Zealand is amongst thepoorest performing counties in

the OECD by that measure which,by the way, even Finance Minis-ter Bill English accepts is themeasure that really counts.

We are well behind Japan,Canada, the US and UK and evenGermany despite the massive

influx of refugees it hasexperienced.

Combine that sluggish growthper person with out-of-controlhousing costs and we find thatNew Zealanders in fact have lessdisposable income than we didearlier this year.

A growing economy is a meansto an end. The point of pursuingeconomic growth is to makepeople better off. The Governmentseems to have forgotten that.

It talks a lot about growth butforgets that what we should betalking about is reducing thenumber of people who areunemployed, increasing people’sincomes, making housing moreaffordable, giving people access toeducation and keeping people ingood health.

We also have to be mindful ofjust who is benefiting from whatgrowth there is. It’s not goodenough for all the benefits to go toa few people at the top.

The Government promised a

brighter future. They said wewere on the cusp of somethingspecial.

Eight years on, the futurehasn’t arrived and the cusp feelsmore like an insurmountablehurdle.

We need a Government thatcan really grow the economy andthat will deliver the benefits ofthat growth to everyone.

Homestead a treasure for all to enjoy

After falling into disrepair in the 1970s (insert photo) Caccia Birch house and gardens have beenlovingly restored to their former glory. SUPPLIED

Nestled in the heart of Hokowhituand surrounded by beautifullymanicured grounds, lies one ofPalmerston North’s foremost eventand conference venue - CacciaBirch House. The refurbishedhomestead has the flexibility tohost a number of groups at onetime with seven lovely roomsavailable. The garden is especiallypopular for wedding parties andbirthday functions, where theentire house and gardens areavailable for guests to enjoy.Caccia Birch House, overlooking

the Hokowhitu Lagoon, isrecognised as being a significantlandmark in Palmerston North andis listed as a Historic Places TrustCategory one property. Thegovernment was gifted theproperty by the Caccia Birch familyfor use in the war effort, and towalk through the property andgrounds now one would be forgivenfor thinking that Caccia BirchHouse had been lovingly cared forthroughout its life. However, after along period of neglect anddereliction during the 70s and 80sthe house and grounds were taken

over from the Government byPalmerston North City Council. ThePreservation Society formed in thelate 70s specifically to save thehouse had succeeded inhighlighting the need to save sucha significant property – somethingnot everyone agreed upon at thetime.Following the purchase, PNCC

set up a Trust Board. Plans torenovate began after the sale ofsections on the newly formedCaccia Birch lane along with furtherfund raising including the BarberHall Housie group and Lotteries.Work began in the early 1990s

and since then Caccia Birch Househas been restored and renovatedto her former glory for all to enjoy.This has only been possible throughthe support of PNCC, and thetireless endeavours of the CacciaBirch Trust raising funds throughCET, ECCT, Lion Foundation andPub Charity during the last 20years.The grandeur and historic nature

of Caccia Birch House is only partof the story.Caccia Birch manager Nicky

Birch says when Palmerston NorthCity Council took over the propertyfrom the government under a deedof trust, their duty was to preserveand protect the house as anhistoric feature of PalmerstonNorth for use by the wholecommunity.‘‘When the trust board was

formed it was felt that the best wayto use this fantastic homesteadwas as a conference and functioncentre, which would be available forany one in the community to use.For this reason we try to keep ourcharges affordable whilst coveringthe operation costs and upkeep ofthe house and large gardens.’’Anybody who hires Caccia Birch

House may self-cater their event orutilise in-house services.‘‘We have many groups who

regularly use our facilities wherewe provide lunch, morning orafternoon tea and this includesregular garden tour groups that

visit to enjoy the gardens andhospitality,’’ says Nicky.‘‘We also like to encourage

school groups or fundraisingorganisations to use the propertyfor public events such as musicconcerts, art exhibitions orfestivals.’’While conferences and functions

play a major role in the day-to-dayactivities of Caccia Birch, Nickysays that it is also important for thehistory to be preserved andpromoted.‘‘We are currently heavily

involved in collating the documentsand photos of the house andsurrounding area,’’ says Nicky.‘‘We have been developing the

CoachHouse as a visitor centre withall the historical information andthis will continue with a new displayplanned. Whilst we have sourcedmuch ourselves, it’s amazing whatvisitors will bring in. A lady whoworked here as an 18 year old when

this was a convalescent home for

WW2 veteran nurses, brought in an

album full of box brownie photos

from her time here. She later

attended the display opening with

three friends who also worked here

during the same period.

‘‘There is so much history from

this era tucked away, and it is

wonderful when people offer it to

us so we can add it to the archives

to share, making it available for

everyone to see and learn about

the history of this area.’’

You really don’t need an excuse

to visit Caccia Birch House. The

public are welcome to enjoy the

magnificent homestead, the

gardens and the history, but if

you’d like tea and scones, the

guided tour and a look back into

the history, please give Nicky a call

on 06 3575363 and she’ll make the

arrangements for you.

Arthritis can affect people of all ages

Common types of arthritis. SUPPLIED

Arthritis affects our joints. Itcauses damage to the jointstructure and surrounding tissue,as well as considerable pain andphysical disability. We tend toassociate arthritis with old agebut it can affect people of all ages,

even babies and children. Thecondition is more common withfemales than males. There areover 100 different types ofarthritis, and half a million NewZealanders will have the diseaseat some stage in their lives.

A normal healthy joint has arubbery substance calledcartilage that covers the end ofeach bone and provides a smoothslippery surface against whichthe joints move. Cartilage alsoacts as a shock absorber to reduce

the impact of everyday physicalactivity. With arthritis, the jointsare swollen and stiff (which isworse after rest and improved bygentle regular movement). Aswell as joint deformity, there ispain, redness and heat. The paingets worse with activity, and isrelieved by rest. Although thereare many forms, the mostcommon are osteoarthritis andrheumatoid arthritis.

Osteoarthritis (OA) affectspeople mainly later in life. Largeweight-bearing joints, like hips,knees and spines, are affected themost. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA)

is an auto-immune disease, whichmeans the body’s immune systemattacks its own tissues. The jointlining becomes inflamed andswollen and fluid builds up in thejoint cavity. In severe RA, thejoints become deformed - affectingpeople’s ability to move.

Lifestyle modifications such asweight loss, exercise and physicaltherapy are central to OAmanagement. Medicines are thecornerstone of RA management,however a good balance betweenrest and exercise is important.Ask your pharmacist for anarthritis fact card.

Arts outburst about to cut looseRICHARD MAYS

Arts Uncontrolled may be a second halfsubstitute for Massey University’s usualFestival Of New Arts, but this perform-ance showcase promises to burst off thebench with the impact of Ardie Savea.

The collection of original works fromManawatu-based authors, poets,performers and film-makers, includesyoung first-time writers as well as award-winning professionals, along with a trib-ute to the late Joy Green - a poet, theatredirector and one of the champions ofFONA.

Encompassing comedy, surrealismand tragedy, the four-night season in theauditorium of the refurbished SirGeoffrey Peren Building at Massey Uni-versity has five one-act plays, one shortfilm, and presentations by four poets, but

is designed to be more than simply abunch of performances.

‘‘We have an idea of it being an experi-ence rather than a show you just go alongto see,’’ artistic director Tobias Lockhartsaid.

There’s a ‘‘pre-show’’ involving theuniversity fire club, live music and dis-plays of original poetry and short fiction.

‘‘There’s a lot of talent in Palmy, andwe’re wanting to showcase as much of itas possible. The performances start at7.30pm but people should turn up at 7pmto explore the space.’’

The ‘uncontrolled’ theme includesissues such as addiction with relation-ships and decision-making versus havingdecisions made for you.

None of the items is longer than 10minutes and includes Zed on the Bed, anabsurdist comedy by award-winning

playwright Dr Angie Farrow.Other plays include time travel com-

edy The Inter Dimensional Murder Boxby Alex Cutforth, and a darker piececalled Nerve Ending by Arts Uncontrolledproducer Shivarn Stewart.

There’s the ludicrous whimsy of‘grave’ economic comedy Dinglebottom’sFuneral Service, and a devised piececentred around a struggling marriagecalled The Architect.

‘‘We’ve also got a performance poet, aslam poet and The Baggage Series by JoyGreen - a medley of poems as an homageto her. There’s a short film called On TheNod a debut work by Aaron McLean - asurreal piece dealing with addiction.’’

More Arts Uncontrolled details areavailable at Eventfinda. Entry to the 7pmperformances next Wednesday toSaturday is $10 adults, $5 students.

‘Kiwimusicana’ minstrel’s homegrown setRICHARD MAYS

A regular visitor to Palmerston North,Taranaki troubadour Mike Harding isback at the Palmerston North Folk Clubon Friday night for a solo ‘sesh’ of goodol’ fashion Kiwimusicana.

These are songs Harding described asbeing from ‘‘the lighter side of Kiwi ‘cul-ture’ - love songs, pub songs, dog songs,down-the-hall-on-Saturday-night songs,and songs from the the daggier end of

homegrown wit’’.Travelling minstrel, songwriter and

musicologist, Harding has done much topreserve and promote the folk songs ofpakeha New Zealanders, as a solo per-former and as sometime guitarist forTaranaki roots and blues band GumbootTango.

His research into the New Zealandfolk tradition has been published in theguide When the Pakeha Sings of Home.

At ease as a musical storyteller, and

with plenty of stories to tell, Harding isfrequently invited to play at festivals andfolk clubs around the country, and con-tinues his mission to present songs ofNew Zealand’s past interwoven withnumbers from the present.

Hosted by the Palmerston North FolkMusic Club in the Theosophical Hall thisFriday night September 23,Kiwimusicana tickets (members $15, pub-lic $20) are on sale at the door from7.45pm.

Lola’s love labours are lostRICHARD MAYS

REVIEW

Lola’s GraveMistakeby IanHarman, The

Dark Room, September 15 to 17

Lola, that normally irrepressiblemegaconfident frontman for numerousburlesque shows, is but a shadow of hisusual saucy mischievous self.

Despite being dressed to the ‘tens’,with outrageous emerald green ostrich-feather ‘toosh explosion’ and bespangledpeacock-coloured vest, net stockings andhigh heels, the pompadoured showmanapologetically drifts onstage in anaimless woebegone way.

He mooches despondently past thesequined cacti, the pair of coffins andskeletons before announcing in the open-ing song ‘‘I’m too sad to cry...’’.

It makes it pretty obvious that Lolahas been dumped, and is now trapped inthe stage manifestation of emotional pur-gatory. All that’s missing from this love-

lorn desert are tumbleweeds and a deso-late wind.

Even Lola’s stage magic skills havedeserted him, failing to fire during a des-perate duel with the devil, a loss that tem-porarily consigns him to a hell where thedenizens wear beige-coloured clothingand flat shoes.

The 50-minute show is a singing dis-sertation by the broken-hearted impre-sario recounting an ill-fated love affairinvolving a married man, and workingthrough the various stages of theemotional funk.

The signature Lola is back during

portions of these reminiscences, some ofwhich involve reworkings of well-knownsongs, including a pre-recorded phoneduet with the ‘wife’.

It’s this, however, that highlights thelack of vocal variety elsewhere.

Not that Lola isn’t capable of express-ing light and shade, but for such an inti-mate venue as The Dark Room, thesevocals were pitched way too loud and thesongs delivered at an intensity that some-what countered attempts by the charac-ter to present a vulnerable, humbler andsofter side.

Despite the downbeat theme, therewere plenty of laughs and the showseemed over far too quickly, while anywisdom from the experience was easilysummed up by the almost inevitableinclusion of the song I Will Survive -endure, as this too will pass.

Gardening

Stay on top of seasonal surge

WALLY RICHARDS

As daylight hours increase, hardierplants, including weeds, will be showinggood growth.

Unwanted plants, or weeds, are valu-able if you make use of them and treatthem as a fodder crop.

Smaller unwanted plants should becut off just below soil level with a sharpknife or sharp dutch hoe. This leaves theroots to rot in the soil, providing a richsource of food for the soil life.

The foliage that falls onto the bare soilgets quickly broken down and theresidues will help feed your preferredplants.

Taller weeds can be cut down with aweed eater using the Pivotrim Proattachment available from Mitre10 Megastores. There’s also a trimmer line forweed-eaters called Lawn Keeper that’savailable in three diameters. The con-figuration is superior to the smoothsingle strand lines and cuts cleaner.

Either leave the weed stubble or cut itoff below soil level with a sharp carvingknife or box-cutter. It’s a method that

enhances soil and growing mediumswhere chemical herbicides may haveharmed the soil life.

Sprinkle waste areas, paving cracksand cobbles with salt and lightly water.This kills the weeds and keeps the areaweed-free for a good time.

Sprays of vinegar or cooking oils canbe used on sunny days when the soil isdrier. Before adding water, mix thecooking oil with an equal amount of dish-washing liquid to help the oil mix withwater.

Spring temperatures and moisturecan mean diseases. Sprays of potassiumpermanganate (Condy’s Crystals at 1⁄4 tea-spoon to a litre of water) with Raingardadded onto the soil and foliage controls awide range of diseases and fungi. Note: itwill stain fences and the like.

An interesting bit of information youcan purify drinking water of harmfulbacteria by placing 3 or 4 grains into alitre of water, agitate to make water alight pink and leave for 24 hours beforedrinking.

Using this method means a largequantity of water can be treated savingthe need to boil.

A weekly spray of potassium per-manganate protects against curly leaf onstone fruit, and keeps new spring growthon roses and other deciduous trees and

plants from diseases.Sprinkle Wallys Neem Tree Granules

under your apple trees, roses and citrustrees to reduce pest insect problems.

Use cell strengthening siliconproducts to strengthen your tomatoplants, potatoes and tamarillo againstpsyllid nymphs.

In soil where you grow tomatoes yearafter year, treat the soil with Terracinand three weeks later with Mycorrcin.

In empty glasshouses, burn sulphurpowder to fumigate any wintering-overinsect pests.

Spray slime on paths and moss inlawn with Moss & Liverwort Control.This will not harm garden plants if theyare caught by the spray

Start spraying strawberry plants 2weekly with Mycorrcin to increase har-vest results and feed with Wallys SecretStrawberry Food.

At planting time place a little RokSolid under seedlings along with a littleNeem Powder to give them a good startand some protection from pests.

Reusable crop cover, protects fromweather, pests, cats and birds.

For chlorinated water supplies, con-sider a 10-micron carbon bonded filter onthe garden tap that will keep the anti-microbial water away from any ben-eficial soil microbes and earthworms.

Using a dutch hoe to cut

off weeds just below the

surface has benefits for

the soil life, while keeping

gardens looking neat.

Here’s the buzz on being bee friendly

The Great Kiwi Bee Count is like a census for bees. MIKE SCOTT

Bees are vital for keeping our gardens healthyand this month you can help them out byspotting them in your neighbourhood, says NZGardener editor Jo McCarroll.

Backyard banter

Neighbourly is a NZ-owned social media site creating easy ways for neighbours to talk and connect. Join us at neighbourly.co.nz or download our new iPhone and Android apps.

September is BeeAwareness Month butmany of you are probablyalready aware of bees and

both the important role they playas pollinators and the complicatedraft of challenges they face.

Diseases and parasite, climatechange, pesticides, modernagricultural practices andnutritional stress have all takentheir toll on our friendly bees.

Lots of Kiwis are already doingtheir bit to help bees out by fillingtheir gardens with nectar- andpollen-rich flowering plants,providing a fresh water source forthese thirsty pollinators and onlyusing sprays at dusk and avoidingflowering plants (or avoidingsprays altogether). These are allgreat ways to increase thenumber of beneficial bugs in yourgarden so I encourage you toadopt them all (and if you are

already doing them why notchallenge other members ofNeighbourly.co.nz in your area todo the same to really get yourstreet or suburb buzzing!)

But if you love bees, thismonth there’s another way to helpthem out and that is by takingpart in NZ Gardener’s Great KiwiBee Count.

The Great Kiwi Bee Count islike a census for bees, so scientistscan find out more about wherethey are and how they are doing.It runs until the end of Septemberand participating is easy. Justvisit www.stuff.co.nz/GreatKiwiBeeCount on yoursmartphone or device at any stageover the month, then go outsideand watch any flowering plant fortwo minutes, counting the beesand pollinators you can see.

Not sure you can tell a honeybee from a hoverfly? There are

photos on the survey form to helpyou ID the different bees andpollinators.

NZ Gardener is partneringwith apiculture scientists at Plant& Food Research to run thiscitizen science project with theaim of building up a more detailedpicture of the range andbehaviour of some of our keypollinator species.

You can do the count in your

home garden, in a public space, innative bush... pretty muchanywhere! And you can completethe count as many times as youlike. Every completed count helpsus build up a more detailedpicture of how our bees are doing(plus each completed count givesyou an entry in the draw to win ahose trolley set from Gardenaworth $240).

The results of the Great Kiwi

Bee Count will help us build up aregional picture of what bees arewhere – there’s surprisingly littleinformation about thedistribution of three of the fourspecies of bumblebee that arefound in New Zealand forinstance. Plus we’re looking forthe country’s most bee-friendlystreet and bee-friendlyneighbourhood... so bee sure thewhole Neighbourly community inyour area takes part too!

The more people who takepart, the more information wewill have – and the betterinformed we will ‘‘bee’’ about thechallenges facing these vitalpollinators and what we can do tohelp them out.

Lentils are rich in protein and contain good amounts of other nutrients.

PHOTO: 123RF

I’ve recently turned vegetarianand everyone seems to beworried that I’m not gettingenough protein. What are somegood sources of vegetarianprotein? Shaun.

Hi Shaun. Choosing a good-quality vegetarian diet (there arepoor-nutritional-qualityvegetarian diets) means themajority of your diet is plant-based, which is fantastic. Here aresome great vegetarian sources ofprotein:

GOOD SOURCES OF PROTEIN

FOR VEGETARIANS:

❚ Lentils are nutritionalpowerhouses. They are rich inprotein and contain good amountsof other nutrients. They may alsohelp reduce the risk of variousdiseases.❚ Beans are health-promoting,protein-packed legumes thatcontain a variety of vitamins,minerals and beneficial plantcompounds.❚ Amaranth and quinoa provide

you with protein, too. They can beprepared and eaten in similarways to traditional grains such asoats and rice.❚ Eggs – some vegetarians stillconsume eggs, which are a greatsource of biologically availableprotein.No matter what I eat I often findmyself with reflux andheartburn. What’s the best wayto deal with this? Thank you,Craig.

Hi Craig. Adults with reflux orindigestion tend to assume that theburning sensation they experiencewith heartburn means they areproducing too much acid when thereality is usually the opposite.They may not be making enoughstomach acid and/or the pH of it istoo high. To understand this,consider that your food is a stringof circles and that stomach acidplays a vital role in breaking thecircles apart.

A pH that is much higher thanthe ideal 1.9 cannot effectivelybreak the circles apart, leaving

larger, undigested segments thatcannot be further broken down tocontinue along the digestive tract.Rather than allowing that food toproceed down into the smallintestine for the next part of itsjourney, the body regurgitates thefood in an attempt to get rid of it.We then experience the acid burnand assume it is too acidic when infact it is not acidic enough to breakthe food down properly and allowit to pass into the small intestine.

It ‘burns’ you because anythingwith an acid pH that is too acidicfor the tissue to which is exposedwill create a burning sensation.When the acid is contained insidethe stomach itself, all is well, butwhen it escapes out of this area, itaffects the lining of theoesophagus, which is not designedto cope with such acidic contents.Many people with reflux respondvery well to the stimulation ofstomach acid and experience

much fewer symptoms as a result.For others, they are eating foodsthat they can’t currently tolerateand a dietary trial omitting thesuspect food/s may be warrantedunder the supervision of a healthprofessional.

Stomach acid production isstimulated by the aroma of foodand by chewing. Historically, weused to take much longer toprepare our meals and the aromasof the upcoming meal generated byslower cooking processes signalledto the stomach that food was on itsway.

Chewing also alerts the brain tosend a message to the stomach tolet it know that food is on its way.When we inhale our food,however, this doesn’t happen.

Another way to physicallystimulate the production ofstomach acid is by consumingapple cider vinegar. If you haven’thad this before, it is initially bestto dilute it and, ideally consume itfive to 20 minutes before breakfast(or all of your main meals if thatappeals).

Bee-keeping it in the familySHANNON BEYNON

Doug Logan has a particular passion for native bees and alpine plants.

Doug Logan

shares his love of

bees and all

things natural

with his children.

Doug Logan is passionate aboutbees. Really passionate.

When he talks about bees,honey, native flora and fauna, hiseyes light up and off he goes. It’scharming.

His kitchen table on his tenacre property in Eyreton isstacked with books on bees andbeekeeping.

He ‘‘did a season’’ as a commer-cial beekeeper straight out ofschool and has circled back to itas a hobbyist. But a serioushobbyist.

‘‘You do it because you lovethem,’’ he said simply.

‘‘It used to be that thehobbyists were ‘second rate’ - theones who cut corners and didn’tknow what they were doing. Butnow, backyard beekeepers arepurists. We’re the ones who leavea box in for the bees to feed overwinter, keep accurate notes,check for diseases.’’

He points to the need to beregistered and the strict controlson hive keeping as a safeguardagainst cowboys.

He is currently completing acorrespondence course throughLincoln University that gives himinformation his commercialcolleagues don’t know.

‘‘The more you learn, the bet-

ter it is for everyone, especiallythe bees.’’

Logan also works his passionat NZ Health Food, so honey andbee products play a big part in hisevery day. Which is why heincludes his children in hisbeekeeping.

Samantha, 11, said she had areal fear of bees for a start.

‘‘I still get a bit scared withoutthe suit, but I think they’re awe-some.’’

Both of the Logan childrentake part in working the hive,checking for changes and the firstsigns of disease. Logan’s wife isseverely allergic to bees but thefamily has learned that ‘‘beesnever hurt unless they’reprovoked’’. A hive has been kept amere 10m from the house with notrouble at all.

Logan’s hobby has become abit of a moneymaker, as he growscommercial seed on a small scale,which goes hand in hand withbeekeeping. He has a particularpassion for alpine plants andnative bees.

‘‘New Zealand has a great mar-ket internationally, and it’s reallyimportant we protect that.

‘‘There’s more manuka honeysold worldwide than we export, sothe off-the-shelf testing forcounterfeit honey is so import-ant.’’

Doing it for the bees, even when stung

A bad day in the hive didn’t deter.

Helen English loves bees. A bee-keeper for six years, she speaks ofbees as an almost religious experi-ence. ’’It’s just the most satisfyingthing. You get your honey andyou spend time with bees and anystings just don’t matter.’’

Helen knows a bit about stings,too. She says she made every mis-take you could make one day -wore perfume and makeup, and

ate a banana for lunch. Then, shewent alone to clear the hive, with-out gloves.

Helen had inadvertently left asmall gap between her helmet andthe top of her suit. As soon as sherealised, she says she could feelthem crawling under her arms, inher hair and down her neck. Care-fully, remembering that panick-ing was the worst thing she could

do, she unzipped her helmet andwas sliding it slowly off her headwhen it slipped and bangedagainst her back.

‘‘That’s when all hell brokeloose. The bees went nuts. I leapton the quad bike and wasdisrobing as I raced down the laneheaded for home, hollering for myhusband all the way. By the time Iwas running through the yard, I

was in my bra and knickers!’’Helen can laugh about the

experience now, but the hundredsof stings left her with an allergy tobee stings, and it took her 4-5months to get her confidenceback. Now, she takes a singleantihistamine every time sheworks the hives, never worksalone, adn loves her bees all themore.

Count your bees

Take part today.

Gardeners and school childrenare being invited to run the veryfirst ‘‘citizen science’’ survey ofbee numbers in New Zealand.

Scientists from Plant & FoodResearch, NZ Gardenermagazineand Stuff.co.nz have teamed upto run The Great Kiwi Bee Count.

The survey of bee numbers isintended to provide a baseline forgenerations of research into thebees.

NZ Gardener editor JoMcCarroll said bees should notbe taken for granted.

‘‘We do need a baseline sowecan see how our bees are doing.’’

Throughout September, Kiwisyoung and old are encouraged toget into their gardens, parks orneighbourhood – preferably on asunny day – then choose aflowering plant and count howmany bees they see in twominutes.

It’s the perfect excuse to getthe kids outdoors. Bee countersare encouraged to note down thetype of flowering plant and payattention to the type of bee they

spot.They can then record the

results on stuff.co.nz/greatkiwibeecount.

The data gathered fromacross New Zealand over themonthwill help scientists workout the state of bee health andnumbers in the country.

It will also provide a baselinefigure for a future ‘‘bee census’’.So grab your smart phone, find ashrub, and bee useful.
