Okoia School helps in planting at Gordon Park Scenic Reserve

Gordon Park Scenic Reserve on the corner of No 3 Line and Kaimatira Road in Whanganui East is known for its collection of lowland native forest trees. How-ever, there is more space available next to No 3 line to plant more.

So the Department of Conservation, the Friends of Gordon Park and the students at the nearby Okoia School have combined to col-lect, look after and now plant the seedlings. About 18 months ago with the help of Colin Ogle from the Friends, the students collected the seedlings – about 15cm tall - growing alongside the tracks. They were potted up and looked after by the school.

The area of plant-ing just past the bridge opposite the Ag Chal-lenge buildings is “a very tough site” admits Collin. Sometime in the

past, he believes, it was “possibly used as a grav-��`�� plant in. By contrast the rest of Gordon Park is good river silt.” Another problem is there is no watering system and this can be an issue in a dry

summer.So DoC brought in a

post-hole borer and the holes were all ready for the planting. Stu-dents were supplied with gloves and hand trowels. The procedure was simple – put some fertiliser tablets in, then the compost, the plant and some ground cover. Colin said they were experimenting with cardboard. They had

tried carpet but much of the carpet incorporated nylon and plastic.

The students planted between 50 to 70 plants and this is normally done twice a year. The main species planted was karamu which is easy to grow and suits an open area. Colin pointed out they had already planted karamu along the edge �� "��'��3��

due course other taller species will take over.

Other species included cabbage trees, houhere or lacebark and mahoe.

The Friends of Gordon Park Scenic Reserve meet twice a month on the second Tuesday and the 4th Thursday to do planting, weed-ing, seed collecting and unfortunately, picking up rubbish. Colin said, “We have supplied 3 to 4,000 seeds to the Prison to grow into seedlings.”

The Sarjeant Gallery redevelopment site at Pukenamu, Queen’s Park is ringed by a 2 metre high wooden wall which is over 200 metres in length. The wall will be in place for the 32 months that the redevelopment project is set to take place and the wood is currently a gleaming white.

However, it will soon be adorned with striking artworks by local artists and the community, as well as providing informa-tion about the project and images from the Sarjeant’s nationally ��collection.

Local artists Cecelia Kumeroa, Si Omer, Mike Marsh and Dan Mills have been com-missioned to design artworks for the site wall. These artworks will be printed on tight weave plastic mesh and permanently at-tached to the site wall in mid-August. They will be 2 metres high and up to 40 metres in length.

The local artists are supported in this pro-ject by the Whanganui Community Charitable Trust who are contrib-

uting to the payment of the artist’s fees. (See separate article for de-tails of the artworks).

The community contribution to the re-development wall will take up approximately 35 metres and will be a massive patchwork of colourful paintings by the adults and children of Whanganui, for Whanganui. To help link the works together, a colour palette and a theme of birds, insects, � ��been selected.

The Sarjeant Gallery invites people to book into one of their paint-ing workshops.

They will host 10 painting workshops in the education room at Sarjeant on the Quay. These workshops are free of charge and no experience is necessary. The Sarjeant Gallery will provide all materi-als. Please book in now. The Gallery wishes as many people as pos-sible please take part.

Ask one of the 60 members of the Wan-ganui Mahjong Club as to why they play the game; you are likely to get responses such as – “It’s challenging but fun,” “We love it,” “It’s a great social time. We don’t do post-mortems,” ��3�� tiles.”

Another might com-ment, “It is an intellec-tual challenge,” or “You have to keep your wits about you,” “It keeps your brain working” or “it can be frustrating.” Even winners will admit that, “It is a combina-tion of skill and luck.”

Ewen Stratford and Quay Artists Exhibition opening next week

Quay Artists started about two years ago with about six artists. The inspiration came from those who had done a Community Education course with artist, Pauline Allomes. It has grown, mainly by word of mouth, to over 20 artists who meet either on a Tuesday or Thursday.

Ewen has been painting and exhibiting for a number of years and normally invites other artists � �7 ��$��"�� #�� "��of the group. Twelve of them will be involved in this exhibition which opens on August 12 at the Community Arts Centre on Taupo Quay and most will be exhibiting up to six pieces of art. They will be taking up the two exhibition spaces in the Centre.

There will be a huge variety of art on display from abstract to portraits to landscapes to art � �� @�'��techniques from oils to water colours, wood cuts to mixed media to acrylics. All works are for sale and will be reasonably priced.

The exhibition will be open from 10am to 4pm Monday to Friday and from 10am to 1pm on the weekends. It runs until August 24.

It will be a good opportunity to see the works of a variety of local artists.

Toy Library to celebrate its 40th

birthday this Saturday

The Whanganui Toy Library is turning 40 and will celebrate this achievement this Saturday, August 8 with an open day at their building at 142 London Street, next to the SPCA, from 10am to 12 noon.

If you have children it makes sense to borrow toys and the library has a great selection. Pop in to have a look and perhaps join up. Assuming good weath-er, there will be a bouncy castle up, a sausage sizzle and get some of their sports gear to play with.

Entries open for Dizhur Consulting Whanganui Regional Heritage Awards 2020Organisations, businesses, groups and individu-

als involved in heritage in any way throughout the Whanganui, Ruapehu and Rangitikei Districts are en-couraged to enter the Dizhur Consulting Whanganui Regional Heritage Awards. Award entries opened on August 1 and close on August 31.

The Awards Manager, Helen Craig says, “we encour-age early entries as the month will go fast and we don't want anyone missing out on receiving recognition for their commitment. We want everyone to enter the Awards, no matter how small or large their project.

The Awards were announced last week by the Whan-ganui Regional Heritage Trust to promote and cel-ebrate heritage retention, conservation and education in the three Districts. They are supported by Heritage New Zealand and it’s hoped they’ll lead to National Heritage Awards. Dizhur Consulting Ltd is the naming rights sponsor. Others will be announced soon.

Sponsorship supports the Awards and Ann Petherick, co-manager of the Awards, has been thrilled with the support from local and national businesses. “It seems �� wealth and value of heritage to our communities and our economic and cultural future,” says Ann.

There are 7 Award Categories ranging from homes, public and commercial buildings, public sites, tourism, seismic strengthening and even architecture that will become our future heritage. There is also an award for Outstanding Contribution to telling our heritage story and the Trust hopes Marae and churches will also enter the awards.

The Supreme Awards Winner will receive a stunning glass artwork to keep and the Trust is proceeding to work on that with local glass artists.

The Awards will be held every two years and full details are on the Trust’s website, including the Entry Form for the Awards. www.whanganuiheritagetrust.org.nz.

Growing fruit trees in Whanganui gardensWith our temperate cli-

mate, we are fortunate with the variety of fruit trees that we can grow here. However, it makes sense to aim for success with the limited size of most home gardens and also the energy and skill of gardeners. So in this column I’ll focus on the easiest fruit trees to grow in Whanganui.

U�� `�� include ones such as fruiting cherries, which require a winter chill pe-riod and whose fruits are very prone to splitting and rotting close to harvest if they get wet and if they aren’t blitzed by birds! Apricots fall into a simi-lar category. Peaches and nectarines are more suited to our temperatures, but are prone to attacks of disease in our moist and �� ¡� ��both the fruit and the trees themselves.

So if you want stone fruit, I suggest that you stick with plum trees. While the fruit are popu-lar with birds, the trees fruit well and aren’t usu-ally subject to disease or pests. Plum trees do grow large over time and should be pruned in autumn rather than win-

ter, to reduce the risk of bacterial infection of the tree. My favourite variety is Luisa, which is large, sweet and produces well, even when young.

Fruits which can be grown in Whanganui in-clude tamarillo and per-simmon. However, tama-rillo is short-lived, prone to attack by virus and the dreaded tomato-potato psyllid, and is frost-tender. Persimmon can grow and fruit well here, but needs a sunny, sheltered and warm position to do well.

Apples can be grown well in Whanganui. I cov-ered the Monty’s Surprise apple in my last article. This is a vigorous high-producing and largely pest-free variety. Granny =�� and the fruit can be stored and eaten over a long pe-� �� Many commercial varie-ties can be harder to grow in domestic situations, as they are often less vigor-ous, and more prone to at-tack by codling moth.

At the “easy-to-grow” end of the spectrum, cit-rus is an obvious stand-out. Again, I covered the culture of citrus in an earlier article. Citrus are sub-tropical fruits, the

most suited for growing in Whanganui, lemon and grapefruit (remembering that the latter grows rap-idly to a large tree). Citrus have the added advantage that they are attractive ev-ergreen shrubs; they are the main feature plant in the Italian Renaissance Garden at the themed Hamilton Gardens. Or-anges, mandarins and limes do need a warmer and more sheltered po-sition than lemons and

grapefruit. The fruit tree that is the

absolute simplest to grow here is feijoa. They grow and fruit well without any care in Whanganui and will thrive in most soils and in windy situations. Having said that, they do reward a degree of care through judicious pruning and maintenance of the soil. I prune mine when �� -�� "�� Q��

The Spot ReportExercising dogs within the home

There’s more to enrich-ment than going for a walk.

There’s an age old tra-dition that all dogs need to be walked every day. I think there’s a couple of major issues with this.

1. Focusing predomi-nantly on taking our dogs for a daily on leash street walk implies that it’s the most necessary part of their day.

While physical exercise is important for all dogs (and people), it should only be one piece of their enrichment pie. Equally, if not more importantly, is their mental stimulation - which comes through toy play, scent work, problem solving, foraging, food ac-quisition and socialising (with people and/or dogs).

Each dog’s ideal enrich-�� '�� -ent depending on their individual preferences, their breed, and their psychological and physi-cal health. It’s not a one ��:�� it’s certainly never 100% street walking.

2. It’s only enriching their life if the dog chooses to engage. We see a lot of dogs who have pretty �� $�-eties that include triggers out in the big wide world. Strange dogs, strange

�� `�� -ronments, random noises, weather, cyclists etc. For a lot of those dogs, a street walk is simply too much. They can’t cope and they �� 4�� 7 ��themselves. In those cases, I don’t believe a street walk ��"�� '�� just physical exercise - and if you give a lot of these dogs the option, they often clearly opt out. Enrichment is only enrichment if the dog is choosing to engage ��"�� -tivity. By engage, I mean engage for the duration of the activity, not just get ex-cited when the leash comes out, only to shut down once on the street. If it’s causing a fear response or their be-haviour is declining, why are we doing it?

We’ve had sunrise for 13 days now and we’re con-stantly aware of how much enrichment and stimula-tion she’s getting (and isn’t

getting) in her new, much smaller world. She’s a high-energy working breed, who �� `��with access to our small backyard. She won’t play with toys yet, and she’s not comfortable enough to run around the yard with me, so she’s not getting much physical exercise. I’m very conscious of this. She came out for a quiet bush walk once and she simply wasn’t ready and didn’t enjoy her-self. I would love to get her out more and one day when she’s ready, we will. How-ever, at the moment, when given the option to come out of her safe zone, she very clearly says ‘no’. She’s a high-energy dog and right now when given the choice, she’s choosing safety and to stay in her room, rather than be ‘enriched’ by the outside world. For now. +��4��U�� world is like a war zone for Sunrise. It’s not enriching in the slightest, it’s down-right petrifying. So we aren’t doing it. So instead, we’re playing and training and cuddling and doing nose work and destroying cardboard boxes together. Where she perceives that she’s safe, where she’s comfortable, where it’s en-riching for her.

Don’t get me wrong, I highly value physical ex-

ercise, especially for high-energy working breeds. I just don’t value it more highly than mental health and I believe there are bet-ter ways to achieve it than taking our fearful or anx-ious dogs on the street. Sunrise is an extreme case where we are currently very limited in our options because even the lounge is scary, but most of the dogs we see who don’t cope on the street, can easily be driven to quiet areas for secluded bush walks, en-gaged in high energy games �� *�� of a workout than a walk anyway!) or taken to quiet beaches for swims etc.

‘The walk’ is designed for your dog. For exercise, for stimulation, for a happy dog. If that’s not what’s happening on the walk, there are plenty of other things we can be doing in �� their needs, without hitting the streets.

Don’t wake up thinking you need to walk your dog; instead, wake up thinking that you need to do some-thing with your dog to ful-�� U�� be anything, depending on the individual dog in front of you.

Keeping fish safe and secure+��

War Memorial Centre structural strengthening wins architectural award

The structural strength-ening of the War Memo-rial Centre has won an architectural award in the Heritage category in the recent New Zealand Institute of Architects (NZIA) Western Branch awards. The project was completed in January 2019 but the architects, BSM Group Architects had been working on the design solutions and details for at least 18 months prior to construc-tion, which commenced in May 2018.

The awards jury said its complex structural strengthening “ensures its continued survival by applying sophisti-cated architectural and structural solutions that complement and enhance the existing aesthetic of the building…The result is exceptional.”

Gerald Cogan, Director and Senior Architect from BSM said, “It was a big contract locally at over $4.5 million. It was a huge honour to work on the building for the practice and for me personally.” BSM had previously worked on the structural strengthen-ing of the Museum and has completed other strengthening projects in the district following the 2010 and 2011 Christch-urch earthquakes.

The Centre is highly regarded as “one of ��$�� modernist architecture in New Zealand” and is rated in the top 50 such buildings in the Southern Hemisphere. Completed in 1960, it was awarded a Gold Medal from the NZIA in 1961 and an Enduring Architecture Award in 1998.

Pukenamu Queens Park ��"��space,” says Gerald with the Memorial Centre sitting in relationship with the Veterans’ Steps, Sarjeant Gallery and the Museum. Any structural work to the Centre had to be designed sympa-

thetically. “It was a case of fully respecting the original architectural integrity of the building and pulling ourselves as architects right back to al-low the original building architecture to continue to shine and not us.”

He makes the point that if the public is unable to see the changes, then that “is the greatest compli-ment in this case that we can receive”.

The seismic work was mainly securing non-load bearing masonry walls with ties and additional steel posts and adding a reinforced shear wall on the forecourt near the main entrance. However, Gerald explains, “this also triggered compli-ance issues such as egress ��had to address”. They also replaced the lighting along with an electri-cal upgrade, updated �� of house reception area amongst other items. As they had to remove and �� Concert Chamber, Coun-cil decided to replace the seating at the same time.

The whole building has been rewired, new lighting installed and acoustic panels placed in the ceilings and walls.

But you have to look up and around to actually see some evidence of the ��+��to look at the back of the Concert Chamber and the main hall and see large steel structures.

It was important, says Gerald to ‘minimise’ the impact of the strength-ening interventions by carefully considering every detail. An example of this is from the outside looking up at the Pio-neer Room through the brise-soleil open blocks where you can just see

Gerald in the Concert Chamber. Note the large steel structures at the back.

Andrew Maxwell Ha-den - 26 September 1950 – 29 July 2020

A mighty All Black has gone and the tributes have rolled in like waves on the shore.

Andy Haden has been lauded and hailed by the great and the good of New Zealand rugby, �$� �� seeing him as a pioneer of the professional game.

And, of course, he was a local lad -- from Whan-ganui East and attending what is now City Col-lege. He never played for Whanganui, rising up through the ranks in Auckland where he be-came something of a leg-end. Still, we can savour the association.

Sadly, his formidable �$�� been over-shadowed by the oft-repeated foot-age of his infamous dive � �� &��Arms Park in 1978 which has been omnipresent on TV these past few days.

The commentary here around the incident has been forgiving; I sus-pect it will be much less so in Wales, many in the principality probably still

nadian sprinter and drug cheat, Ben Johnson.

That’s a bit harsh … it was middling cheating. Rugby players throw themselves on the ground a lot, so Haden did not break any rules, though he ripped up the spirit of the game.

Put it somewhere be-tween the batsman who doesn’t walk when he knows he’s nicked it, and Diego Maradona’s ‘Hand of God’.

Is it to Haden’s shame or to his esteem that he never showed remorse, saying he would do it again if it was needed to win a game?

I rather wish he had expressed some regret. The Welsh may well feel likewise.

carrying the grievance … even in death.

To recap: Wales were leading the All Blacks 12-10 in the dying minutes when the tourists had a li-neout near the Welsh line. As Bobby Windsor threw the ball in, Haden hurled himself to the ground in a bid to con referee, Roger Quittenton that he had been pushed and gained a penalty.

It was an embarrassingly theatrical collapse, but the ref duly obliged and Brian McKechnie’s boot won the game 13-12 for the ABs. Quittenton later said he �� "�� would acknowledge that Haden’s scam won the day.

It is still a sore point in the Valleys. Wales were so close to only their fourth victory over New Zealand. Their last success was 1953 and they have now lost 31 consecutive matches to the All Blacks, the last one be-ing the 2019 World Cup ��

Apprenticeships support kicks offTwo employment schemes – one new and one expanded

– going live this week will help tens of thousands of peo-ple continue training on the job and support thousands more into work, the Government has announced.

Apprenticeship Boost, a subsidy of up to $12,000 per �� q�� for second year apprentices for employers of new and ex-isting apprentices is available from this week. An extra $30.3 million in funding for an expanded Mana in Mahi – a programme to help people into long-term work with �� Q�� "�� 5 August.

Y�� 6�� %�� '� �� clearly a demand for the Mana in Mahi Programme so it’s pleasing to be able to extend Mana in Mahi as it cel-ebrates two years this month of supporting people with a holistic transition into work.

“The changes we have made to Mana in Mahi will also better support a wider range of people, including workers of all ages who may have to retrain due to the economic impacts of COVID-19,” he said.

Investing in employment support, Minister for Social Development, Carmel Sepuloni said MSD has received more funding to help both current clients and new job seekers get back into work.

“An additional $54 million has been allocated to MSD to assist people get back into work. This funding will be allocated to a number of MSD programmes that help sup-� �� '�� -dustries where there are good job opportunities.

This funding builds upon the initial $150 million for the Employment Service Response to COVID-19 initiative announced as part of the COVID-19 Response and Re-covery Fund foundational package.

UCOL launches new industry partnership platformUCOL students spend

thousands of hours work-ing with local organisa-tions and businesses – and UCOL wants to see that connection build even fur-�� %�� % '�"� ��"-site, UCOL is looking to develop more student-to-industry opportunities.

The platform highlights the many ways that local organisations can work with UCOL and its students whether that’s through in-ternships, clinical place-

ments, apprenticeships or even unique industry pro-jects. It also shares success stories from students and businesses who have taken part, from Matthew Choi, who worked his way up to become Gaon Korean BBQ House’s Head Chef, to Na-dia Healey, a social and community services student �� 4��team during the COVID-19 lockdown period.

A key part of the platform is to showcase the excellent work that UCOL students

have been doing with indus-try and the real value that their work adds to that busi-ness. “the feedback from our stakeholders and the learning experience for our students, has been excep-tional,” says Dean Rankin, Executive Dean of Humani-ties and Business.

�% '�� with our local industries is crucial for us,” says Linda Sissons, UCOL’s Acting Chief Executive. “As an institution, we develop our programmes alongside in-

dustry, to make sure that the skills we teach students are the ones our local organisa-tions need. Local employers who are involved and con-nected with our students, and who work alongside them on projects, bring an increased work-readiness to our graduates.”

“For many students, their internship or placement is a highlight of their studies – a chance to put what they’ve learned into practice. The businesses that work with �� "��

that. Local employers who need extra help, but are dealing with post-COVID �� taking on a student is the perfect answer.”

“This platform is the one-stop-shop for local organisations who want to get in touch, work with our talented students and see the amazing work that has been done.”

‘Never Too Young’ runs in remembrance of young lives lost to bowel cancer

The Never Too Young campaign is running this August, in memory of the four brave, young people who appeared in Bowel Cancer New Zealand’s 2018 campaign of the same name and have sadly passed away since then. They wanted to continue to raise aware-ness, so that other young New Zealanders have a chance to beat bowel cancer.

The Never Too Young campaign has been organised by the charity’s Community Ambassa-dor, Chelsea Halliwell. Chelsea, a bowel cancer survivor, came up with the idea after she noticed an increasing number of young people join-ing Bowel Cancer New Zealand’s patient support group.

Bowel Cancer New Zealand (NZ) General Manager, Rebekah Heal says, “We hope the Never Too

Young campaign continues to drive home how important it is for everyone, of any age to know the symptoms

of bowel cancer. These include bleeding from the bottom; a change of bowel habit; any lumps in the stomach; fatigue or tiredness; anaemia and unexplained weight loss.”

“Our charity has been calling for people to not sit on their symptoms for years. However, with the rising incidence of bowel cancer in young people and the loss of these amazing campaign am-bassadors, it’s more im-portant than ever people understand bowel cancer can strike at any age.

That you’re never too young.”

Every year, more than 350 people under 50 are diagnosed with bowel cancer. The aim of the Never Too Young campaign is to reduce this statistic of those dy-ing needlessly, through awareness.

Bowel Cancer NZ Community Ambassador, Chelsea Halliwell says, “If you have symptoms, taking action quickly is so important – it’s be-cause of this that I’m here today. I’m so fortunate I

didn’t delay in going to my GP - within a week, I had a stage three bowel cancer diagnosis and my surgeon told me another six months would have �� my chances of survival.

“Unfortunately, the �� for Anaru, Britt, Solon and Fiona, who joined us in the 2018 campaign. For all of them, diagnosis came too late for life-saving treatment, which makes this message all the more important,” she says.

Look out for the Never Too Young campaign on bus backs, billboards, digital posters in malls and on bus shelters, in print media, on social media and with our new television advert. Bowel Cancer NZ is a national charity raising awareness of bowel cancer, support-ing patients and educa-tion in the community. We would like to thank our many supporters who have made this campaign possible.

Bowel Cancer NZ en-courages open discussion

about bowel cancer with medical professionals and avoiding ‘sitting on your symptoms’. Symptoms include:

* Bleeding from the bottom or seeing blood in the toilet after a bowel motion;

* Change of bowel motions over several weeks without returning to normal;

* Persistent or periodic severe pain in the abdo-men;

* A lump or mass in the abdomen;

* Tiredness and loss of weight for no particular reason;

* Anaemia. Those who have a

family history of bowel cancer or want to do regular checks, can talk to their GP or buy a commercially available bowel screening kit avail-able at Life or Unichem pharmacies. However, if you have symptoms, we advise seeing your GP immediately.

More information on bowel cancer and Bowel Cancer NZ can be found at www.bowelcancernz.org.nz.

The Gardner homes Athletics also created �� "�� -tacks, passing through the leaky Marist de-fence while the hosts struggled at this time of the game to get something constructive done.

The National President from North-land spoke on the importance of so-cialisation to overcome the problem of loneliness which appears to be increas-ing in our communities. Joining Clubs like ours with all the variety of activi-ties helps with this challenge.

Presentations to new Life Members were made to Mrs Jean Cleveland who was made President in 2008, a role she held for 8 years. She introduced lunch-eons every month and they were so � �� ¬& �� &��¬�several years later.

Coalition launches “Let’s End Loneliness” websiteThe ‘Let’s End Loneli-

ness’ website has been launched as a resource for anyone experiencing or concerned about lone-liness.

Age Concern New Zea-land Chief Executive, Stephanie Clare, says the website is designed as a source of information which also links people to support services.

“Everyone can feel loneliness at some time, but it can be addressed and solved and together we can end loneliness for New Zealanders who feel isolated.”

The website has been created by the New Zea-land Coalition to End Loneliness whose mem-bers work to tackle lone-liness and create com-munities in which New Zealanders have the re-lationships and support they need to thrive.

Concerned about in-creasing feelings of isola-tion in our communities, seven organisations – Age Concern New Zealand, St John New Zealand, Car-ers New Zealand, Student Volunteer Army, Royal New Zealand Returned and Services Association,

Alzheimers New Zea-land and The Salvation Army – got together in 2018 to set up the coali-tion and provide informa-tion, grow understanding and advocate together to prompt action on loneli-ness.

The COVID-19 lock-down highlighted that everyone can feel isolat-ed and lonely and St John Director of Community Health Services, Sarah Manley, says it has never been more important for people to stay connected.

“St John works hard to build resilient communi-ties and we are excited to be part of this coali-tion. This new website is a great resource for Ki-wis from all walks of life � � �� and build healthier and stronger communities.”

One group particularly �� "�� the 70,000 New Zealand-ers living with dementia, and Catherine Hall of Alzheimers New Zea-land, believes everyone should feel safe, support-ed, loved and connected.

“Sadly, people liv-ing with dementia often �� friends take a step back just when they need them most. We stand alongside

our coalition partners and with all New Zealanders, to make sure no one feels alone.”

Student Volunteer Army &�� Y$�� !`��Sam Johnson, says con-nection is always at the heart of what they do. “We are really proud to be working alongside others to help end loneliness for younger and older people alike.”

This site is a way of connecting with others to share ideas, challenges and successes, and other organisations working to end loneliness in New Zealand are encouraged to provide links to their own websites and infor-mation services.
