JANE WELLS“Deerkeeper “ is a great read.

It’s the product of the experience and imagination of Mike Waring of Redwood Valley who writes as Geoffrey Waring.

Late last year he launched this his first novel “Deerkeeper” at the Moutere Inn in the Sarau Village.

“Deerkeeper” is set on the West Coast of the South Island and it’s a family saga of two generations of Scottish and Irish settlers between the years 1900 to 1995.

Contemporary and historical events are woven into the chroni-cle.

It’s the memorable struggle of a determined and resolute family who battle innumerable obstacles, with two opponents getting their long overdue just desserts. It’s a pity it was all too late.

The novel originated from a short story Mike had written about a farm-er’s wife who lived remotely. But then motivated by the treatment a Riwaka orchardist received at the hands of his bank the short story became the genesis of a greater

Mike’s intriguing saga

story and “Deerkeeper” was brought into existence.

It is a novel of 114,000 words nestled into 308 pages, included is a handy family tree .

“It’s not a Wilbur Smith, but its in that genre,” said Mike.

A product of a small town Mike ran away to sea at 16 and spent ten years wandering the world via firstly the New Zealand Navy and latterly in the Norwegian Merchant Navy. In his early years at sea he spent two years on West Coast colliers in the days when it was common for Westport to have four to five ships tied at its wharf each night. And 22 pubs!

During his 30 years overseas he flew everything from Tiger Moths to wide bodied airliners as an instruc-tor and pilot but now he’s at home on his deer farm and he’s indulging his long ignored urge to write.

The book is on the shelves at Page and Blackmores in Nelson and it’s also available from Mike or via Amazon books on line. His next novel is set in Africa.

Mike’s next book is out soon.

SAFIA ARCHERSecond chance has gone to great heights to

raise over 5 thousand dollars in a bid to re-home foster dogs in the region with a tandem skydiving fundraiser held last Saturday in Motueka.

While the wet weather meant some of the jumps had to be delayed, 16 volunteers man-aged to completes their tandem dives with Skydive Abel Tasman, with more to jump over the next week.

Organisers Sinead White and Sue Walsh of Dog Almighty, both of Ireland, started foster dog charity Second Chance together nearly three years ago after meeting through Nelson Ark.

“I told [Sue] my idea about wanting to start a Facebook page for the pound dogs, and she was on board … we decided then we’d start getting any dogs that we rehomed from the pound,” she said.

“We get them de-sexed, vaccinated, micro-chipped, flea and wormed, so any of our dogs that are rehomed get all that as well.

“All our funding is just donations and fundrais-ers, and the vet bills would be our main expense.”

The women brought their ideas together about

getting into the pound Sinead said, and started helping out with re-homing the dogs.

“I started a Facebook page straight away … unfortunately we couldn’t take all the dogs because we rely solely on foster families … it’s vital that we have lots of foster families.

“We’re always looking for new foster families because a lot of our foster families have adopted our dogs, so we lose out then to a foster family.

“Each dog has its special family that it needs to fit into … we always make sure that the dog fits into their [foster family’s] lifestyle as there’s no point in setting the dog up to fail by putting it into a foster family that it wouldn’t suit.”

The cuter dogs gets whipped up quickly she said, and most of the dogs that are left in the pound are mixed breed.

“That’s part of adopting out the dogs, we com-mit to them and we take them out of the pound.

“We have had one of our dogs on the books at the moment that we’ve had for the last year and a half… it’s a very long time.

“She’s been in quite a few foster families but we’ll find her a home eventually. It’ll just take time but we’ll get there.”

This isn’t the first skydiving fundraiser for Second Chance with the idea born through Sue Walsh’s skydiving hobby in 2014.

“It worked out really well because we raised five grand when we did it last time.

“A skydive isn’t like going out for a five kilome-tre run or something, it’s jumping out of a plane, it’s a different kettle of fish.”

Sinead credits Skydive Abel Tasman for giv-ing them a discount that enabled the event to happen, and all the volunteers that jumped to raise over 5 thousand dollars for foster dogs, with money still trickling in it will be well spent she said.

“We’re looking at setting up an emergency kennel so if a foster family have an emergency and we need to take the dog off them, or if there’s a dog in the pound that we feel we really need to get out of the pound, we’ll have that emergency kennel set up.

“I found myself in situations where I have a dog and it doesn’t work out with the foster family and I have no other foster family to put that dog into, so it’s great to have that kind of backup just in case.

“To have some sort of emergency set up because sometimes it’s horrible, a dog might be in foster care for five weeks and then if there’s an emergency, to have to back into the pound it’s just going backwards in regards to the dog.”

Sinead said the highlight of the day was just seeing everybody jump, and just doing it for the dogs.

“Just watching everyone when they land smile and glowing and you can see they’ve just got a buzz out of it, that they’ve really enjoyed it.”

Street talkWhat are your thoughts about the guy made it possible to live stream Joseph Parker’s Saturday night fight because he thought Sky’s $50 fee too dear?

LillianMotuekaI quite agree with that. Having to pay $50 to sit and watch in your sit-ting room is too much.

MerylMotuekaNo I think it’s unfair to the peo-ple who paid for it.

JohnTaylorvilleSomebody would have done it if he didn’t.

AllanHopeI didn’t buy it. It’s theft but Sky has issues. They need a more affordable rate.

Will my child cope when they start school? What are they actually learning at Preschool?These seem to be the questions being asked and worried over by an increasing number of parents.An Education evening for parents and caregivers of preschoolers to address this issue is being held on Tuesday 31 May.Teachers and Principals of local primary schools together with a team of experienced Preschool teach-ers will discuss and answer questions regarding expectations of children starting school.For many parents and caregivers the differences between a Kindergarten, a Preschool and an Early Learning Centre are not clear. In fact all of these Centres come under the same umbrella of the

Bouncing to schoolMinistry of Education and are required to teach the same Curriculum and comply with the same require-ments. While the philosophies and routines adopted in each Centre may vary, the learning outcomes for the children attending should still be the same.The Education evening will look briefly at the Early Childhood Curriculum and how it links to the Primary School Curriculum.There will also be a fun and informal look at just some of the many learning outcomes that take place in Early Childhood Centres.All parents and caregivers of preschoolers are strongly encouraged to attend this evening being held at Bounce Early Learning Centre, 86 Aranui Road, Mapua at 7:00pm on Tuesday May 31.

Around 11.15am last Friday ambulances, fire engines and the police were summoned to the intersection of Fearon and High Street, Motueka when two vehicles collided. The elderly male occupant of the red car was subse-quently flown to Nelson Hospital by rescue helicopter. The van and ute occupants while shaken were unharmed. It was a murky and wet day.

The kindness of strangers On Monday 16th my wife and I were involved in what could have been

a very nasty car accident in Motueka High St. Fortunately no one was hurt but both of the cars involved were very badly damaged - probably write-offs.

We would like to acknowledge and thank the many people who rallied around to make sure that we were all OK including passers by, the local church, the police, the local garage and the car hire company.

The crash was a horrible, frightening experience but the subsequent kindness of complete strangers was really heartwarming.

Thank you all most sincerely.Laurie and Helen Tuff

The Anchorage Family Estate Sauvignon Blanc 2014 vintage has been awarded a Gold medal in the ‘The Fifty Best’ competition held in New York in May this year.

Winemaker Stefan Heinrich is the master behind the top drop, creating a vintage described as bright straw-yellow colour with slight green hues, pale on rim.

With a nose that’s fresh and tight with light gooseberry fruit aromas along with chalky min-eral elements and hints of limes and capsicums, it’s a light, up-front Sauvignon Blanc with grassy and dry minerally flavours.

Anchorage is a family owned vineyard and Chris Drummond is proud of the drop they’ve produced.

“We have a distributor in the US who does the East Coast, and they send through ideas of what competitions and things we should enter … and we just decided to enter this one and it went well for us.

“It’s something that you need to do to support the market in the US, the US is massive market, but it gives the [distributor] something to go to customers with so they see it’s something decent to drink.

“It also gives you a few warm fuzzies when you get a gold medal in New York.

It was a New Zealand wine tasting competition Chris said, and obviously their wines are well up to par.

The Drummond family have been in agricul-ture for decades Chris said, with his father Ray Drummond hailing from tobacco growing and then kiwifruit.

“My brother got involved in the business, and

they started growing apples and pears.”Then Chris’ brother-in-law Rhys Wells went

into the business and started growing grapes as well.

An accountant by trade, Chris and the family decided to create a wine label in 2002, and so Anchorage was born with a couple of hundred cases.

“The business has now grown from making a few thousand cases of wine a year to now doing 20-30 thousand cases a year of wine, plus bulk and contract wine making.

“As it’s evolved we’ve bought more land, we’ve planted more grapes, we’ve pulled out apples, we’ve pulled out kiwifruit.

“We converted our apple packing shed here in Brooklyn into a winery … in 2007, and the busi-ness has just really grown from that.”

Their first foray into the international market was 2005, when they sent a pallet to Australia, and it’s just built from there, and they now also export to Japan, Singapore, Bangkok, Hong Kong, China, the US East Coast and the United Kingdom.

There are only 2000 bottles of the winning drop left at the winery, and now the Anchorage are focusing on building up their bottled export markets.

The Drummond family has lost family mem-bers along the Anchorage journey, with Chris’s father Ray and brother-in-law Rhys Wells pass-ing away.

Now Chris and his brother Gavin are at the helm, the 2016 vintage is all in tank, and it should be in the shelves in July this year so watch this space.

Richie McCaw’s iSPORT Foundation declared a national sports gear recycle month over April to level the playing field for schools who can’t afford the gear they need, and Motueka High School students will reap the rewards.

The iSPORT Foundation called for New Zealanders to donate their sporting gear that is no longer being used to help schools to level the playing field for the next gen-eration.

Founded by Richie McCaw, Ali Williams and Daniel Carter in 2009, the iSPORT Foundation helps 12-18 year old kiwis achieve their sporting goals, no matter their cir-cumstances, by providing grants and crowdfunding, sports gear, leadership and inspiration.

“Heaps of New Zealand schools don't have the right gear to help kids develop their skills in the sports they love,” iSPORT co-founder and rugby legend Richie McCaw said.

“We want to help schools get the equipment they need to help those kids so they can realise their sport-ing potential.

“I’ve had a good run of it, but it is now time to pass on the dream to the next generation.”

The charity drive was open from early April to mid-May, with Kiwis dropping their unused equipment into Westpac branches around the country to be distributed to schools

in the region to help them nurture their sporting talents.

Motueka High School Principal John Prestige said most of the donated equipment would be used at the school, and individual-use items would be passed on to those who would get the most out of them.

Westpac Motueka Bank Manager Louise Busson said it’s been great to see gear coming into the branch knowing it’s heading straight back out to be used.

“We left it up a bit longer which was good, people thought about it then they came back,” she said.

“This is all about helping our local students, getting them active, and giving them an opportunity to try out some different sports that they may not have had the chance to experience without the donated gear.

“I think it’s a wonderful initiative and will pay dividends to sports at a grass roots level here in New Zealand.

“We’re encouraging Kiwis to rum-mage around for any gear they may not use anymore, but would be of great benefit to our younger sport-ing generation coming through.”

For more information on how to be involved and learn about the iSport Foundation, visit http://isport.org.nz/.

Motueka’s Thursday biking group was especially large with 22 riders rid-ing up and through the Spooners Tunnel before coffeeing at Kohatu. Seven rode the 45 kilometre loop over the hills and down through the Wai iti Valley back to Belgrove while the others pedalled the hill back up to the tunnel and enjoyed a great zoom down back to their cars.Above: Emerging are Rod, Ian, Judy, Marie and Richard.

Hands across the sandsSAFIA ARCHER

Last Saturday Motueka locals gathered at Janie Seddon Reserve last Saturday to join the nation-wide gatherings to once again raise awareness around exploratory oil-drilling in New Zealand.

Awareness campaigner Fran Deech said it was crucial groundwork for the creation of an informed dialogue both with drilling companies that have been issued permits, including foreign entities, and with the government as an oil-spill would have major economic and environmental repercussions.

The gathering was led by a karakia (prayer) before Fran gave a talk about why they were all gathered together she said.

I was talking about the importance of becom-ing aware of what’s happening around both destructive climate pollution, but in particular the oil drilling permits that were granted last December,” Fran said.

One of these was granted to Singapore based company to drill off the shores off d’Urville Island.

“It's vitally important that each of us become acquainted with what's involved in Deep Sea Oil prospecting and drilling.

“Seismic surveying, used to identify resources on the sea bed, is known to be harmful, even fatal, to marine life and to mammals such as whales and dolphins in particular.

“It also affects the fertility cycle of marine life, which can reverberate for decades, if not longer.

“If there was an oil spill in our region it would devastate the tourist business, the economy, and so much of marine life - it would be a terrible thing to happen.

“Our day was very much in creating aware-ness about this, and I wanted to encourage each of us there to do whatever we can to find out what’s happening.

The small gathering lined up on the beach and held hands for a few minutes silence to focus our awareness on the fragility of our ecosystem and the lack of priority put on decreasing the warming of our planet or the preserving of the eco system.

“It was quite moving, we faced out to sea.“Awareness and knowledge are the ground-

work to facilitate effective communication and action.”

Hands across the sands is an international annual event. If you want to know more or wish to join the awareness campaign group, the Renewables, for their regular meetings, please email [email protected].

BriefsAngry bikers

Closing some of the biking tracks on Rabbit Island has been mooted by the TDC and many bikers are angry that such a popular, family friendly and flat biking venue is under threat. The Moturua-Rabbit Island draft management plan was released May 7 and the proposal is to restrict public access with the forest interior being out-of-bounds. There is a definite conflict between the foresty practises and the recreators but surely there are other options such as phasing out for-estry in track areas and replanting the corridors in natives. This would add to Rabbit Island’s recreational attractions. If you want to have your say send your ideas to the council by July 9th.Pecha Kucha’s back

And what on earth’s that? You might well ask. Its 20 slides each of 20 seconds duration with the presenter talking to each slide. A number of local people will present in a fun and informal way with no time for waffle. It’s on again this Friday at 7.30 at the Mapua Hall. Entry is $10 but why not plan to arrive earlier, and enjoy a drink. The doors open at 6 o’clock. Tasty warming curries are on sale for $5. Pecha Kucha ( chit chat) originated in Tokyo within an architectural firm where appar-ently the architects tended to rabbit on once they got started. This format made sure they stuck to the point and were brief and concise. This is an important fundraiser for the hall. Bookings can be made on line [email protected] Hand Sunday

It’s on again June 12th from 10am. Clear your clutter or grab yourself something ‘new’. All you need to do to be a part of this fun and useful day is to complete an on line registration form (www.tasman.govt.nz search phrase second hand Sunday) or register at any of the Council’s service centres and on the day place any of your unwanted goods on your driveway for others to take away. Free! Treasure hunters can discover who is involved from the website after midday the Friday before.Sustainable Seas, Drinks & Nibbles

Passionate about saving our seas? Head over to the Chanel Art Centre from 5-8 pm next Monday May 30 to talk to the team about research programmes that aim to enhance use of our marine resources while preserving them for future generations.

JANE WELLSJo and Terry Walker were only visit-

ing Motueka from Blenheim to look at houses when Jo spied a Newcomers ad at Muse’s Café. She wrote down the phone number and soon she was on the emailing list.

Within a week of arriving she had an invitation to a Pot Luck lunch. That was three years ago. And now she’s co coordinator!

Friendship is the aim of Motueka’s Newcomers group which meets twice a week at the R.S.A.

“We’re a group of men and women, mostly retired people, and we welcome newcomers to our group. We offer friendship and support as you settle into our area.

A warm welcome awaits

Pictured from left: Heather McKenzie until recently the Newcomer’s co-ordinator, Paul and Ann Daniels newly moved to the Motueka Valley to get away from Christchurch’s north east wind. Evie Howell arrived three weeks ago from Auckland and one of the coordinators Jo Walker who moved from Blenheim after a health issue to be near her family. Her mother too has chosen to come this way and is in a Richmond rest home.

There’s neither fund raising, nor com-mittee meetings,” said Jo.

“Every so often we have a meal out, sometimes we have pot luck dinners, picnics and barbeques. And almost everyone seems to have connections to other interest groups so we can point you in the right direction if you have a special interest. I’m a Crafty Tart”

Newcomers began 7 years ago under the guidance of Audrey Fulford with four members and during her reign numbers increased to more than 30.

For five and a half years Heather McKenzie, coordinated and when she handed over to Jo and Medwin Bew last September there were over 100 people involved.

Heather loved her time at the helm, but she found it rather time consum-ing as it grew and she was working as well.

“We’ve had people come from the earthquakes, marriage break ups, from deaths ; from all sorts to our place. It’s wonderful how everyone rallies.”

“Some people go away for a time and when they come back they just slot in. It’s just great,” said Heather, “Some of the original members still come along as they enjoy the company so much.”

If you’re interested you can con-tact Jo via [email protected] or Medwin [email protected] you’ll be put on the group emailing list. You’ll never regret your decision.

Project De-Vine in Marahau

The fourth working bee of the Riwaka / Marahau phase of Project De-Vine's work is kicking off this Saturday.

Work will begin on Old Man’s Beard along the Marahau River and at the Marahau Valley com-munity.

The owners are keen to get on top of the vines and by giving this area a big hit now, it will knock the re-seeding to the area around, save them a lot of time, and show other owners in this area what can be done in a few hours.

This helps raise contributions towards possi-ble future funding. Members of the experienced weed team will show how to effectively cut and paste the vines.

Bottles of gel are supplied and are free for you to take to work on your own property.

This is a great chance for the many land-owners in this area to meet and work with the De-Vine team.

It does not matter how much you know as you will be teamed up with those that know the pest vines.

Bring sturdy shoes, gloves & secateurs, with loppers or retractable hand saws (best - if you have one) for the big ones.

Please bring your own water, and some snacks will be provided at the tea break with hot water and drink options.

The more folk that help the better, as there are plenty of vines to share around.

Anyone over 16 years old can learn how to cut and paste the vines. Younger children, 12 years and up, can help to locate the stems.

Women are welcome, as there are women in the weed team – it’s not just bloke’s work!

Join the Stage #6 pest vine control around Abel Tasman National Park:

When? Saturday May 28, 9.30am - 1.30pmWhere? Meet corner Sandy Bay & Marahau

Valley Roads, follow the Project De-Vine signs. The meeting point is at the Marahau river

bridge, corner of Sandy Bay and Marahau Valley roads, just before the Park entrance kiosk and Park Cafe with parking in the DOC carpark.

The working bee has been organised with the help and support of the Marahau / Sandy Bay Ratepayers & Residents Association, and sponsored by Nelson Building Society, Motueka Community Board and the suppliers of the Glyphosate bottles Cut'n'Paste.

Greater flexibility and controlBack up service assuredUsing a local company gives greater control and flexi-

bility over your commercial or residential project. Having many years of experience means our local builders and other trades people often draw upon past jobs to offer advice and improvements to your needs.

While they will take the reigns entirely and complete the job from start to finish, having a local on board gives you the option of tailoring the job to your specific require-ments and you may have input into the process as the build progresses.

Sometimes initial ideas may evolve along with the job or change completely.

Its comforting to know you may be able to alter some of the details as you go along to ensure you are really happy with the end result.

Once you have enlisted the help of a local trade’s per-son to assist with your job you will often find this connec-tion continues past the projects completion.

One of the great things about this relationship is the back up service - being able to ask questions and double check details throughout the process as well as later.

Buying habits changedTraditionally most locals relied on word of mouth refer-

rals and family connections for business. iBuild is a more modern method as peoples’ buying habits change.

“Everyone is online these days researching ideas for their homes. We need to make sure that everyone in this community is aware that they can get everything taken care of by a local person,” said Tony.

Eco living , energy monitoring saves $’sThe good news is, creating a sustainable home doesn’t

need to be about spending wads of cash. Basic changes may involve insulation to ensure your property remains warm in the winter and cool in summer. Under floor, ceiling and wall insulation are options that will make an immediate difference. LED lighting is far more efficient than conventional lighting and lasts for hours longer.

Energy monitoringAn energy monitoring system, installed into the electri-

cal switchboard, can help you observe your power use on a circuit-by-circuit basis.

Mid cost optionsAppliancesIf your appliances are more than a few years old, they

are likely to be a lot less efficient than current ones. Always look at the energy-ratings labels and choose the most efficient in your budget.

You can always check your existing appliances to com-pare using the energy rating calculator.

Water heatingIf you use electricity to heat your hot water, installing a

hot water heat pump can reduce the electrical consump-tion by 70%.

Top end changesDouble glazingWhen compared to

single glazing, install-ing double glazing can result in eliminat-ing half of the heat loss that escapes through your win-dows while reducing condensation and external noise.

SolarAlthoughcostlier than a pure on-grid solar system, a hybrid solar system can store the power gen-erated during the day for use at night or in the event of a power outage.Our amazing sunshine hours make solar power

an attractive option.

Before you buyBuying a new home will probably be your biggest ever

investment. You need to be certain that the house you are hoping to purchase is safe and structurally sound. Make sure your Sale and Purchase Agreement includes a condition allowing for an inspection and a report from a qualified builder.

An expert eyeYour local builder will be able to access all aspects of the house and any outbuildings. An expert eye is often needed to spot substandard workmanship and corner cutting.

We’ve got them all - plumbers, electricians, build-ers, painters, drainlayers, tilers. Why would you go anywhere else?

A better option than moving?With the cost of changing houses many people are

opting to renovate instead. It can be an interesting and exciting project. With a new colour scheme, a change of curtains and cushions, newly painted walls and maybe a new eye catching piece of art you can create a com-plete change of environment with more major structural changes likely to disrupt home living for a time. But even that’s often preferable to the expense and disruption moving house brings.

The bathroom is one of the two most commonly reno-vated rooms in Kiwi homes (the other one is the kitchen). It is also one that is very complex in terms of the different tradesmen that need to be involved, from plumbers and electricians through to builders and painters.

One of the main things to consider early on is if you need to change the floor plan of your bathroom. Moving plumbing points and electrical sockets may be necessary to achieve the layout you desire, However, this will affect the overall cost of your renovation. work.

There are three different bathroom renovations: a basic ‘facelift’, a mid range, and a high end makeover. Decisions decisions decisions!

It’s worth remembering that your kitchen and bath-room’s faded looks are always noticed when you do come to put your home on the market.

Renovation’s in vogue - an exciting project!

It’s all here! Why go anywhere else?Once upon a time…The Ngati Rarua and Te Atiawa people living in the

Motueka region in 1839-40 learned that a European set-tlement was on its way.

They realised this meant business opportunities. By the time the first European settlers arrived they were able to supply them with large quantities of potatoes, vegeta-bles and pork.

In the 1840’s there was a brisk trade in timber and veg-etables between Motueka and Nelson with small vessels loaded on the beach near the mouth of the Motueka river.

By 1853 Motueka consisted of a large Maori Pa and some settlers – mostly with large families and little capi-tal.

Motueka was considered the back blocks as it was a six day return journey to Nelson by bullock dray.

Today...Today the population of Motueka township and the sur-

rounding settlements has increased slowly since 2006. The official population as recorded in the 2013 census was 7,593, up 6.5%

Counting the wider Motueka area, including Kaiteriteri, Riwaka and the out lying districts , but not Upper Moutere nor Mapua, the population is 13,383 – 7% higher than in 2006.

In Division 2 (Social), Clint Edmonds and Jennie Ricciardi from the Tahunanui Club came through undefeated from pool play to beat fellow club members Mike and Madelyn Delaney 6-5 in their semi-final.

Another close semi-final, in this division, saw Mark Hamilton and Karina Inglis from the Motueka Club beat Trent Slierdencht and Denise Marshall from the Stoke Club 6-4. Edmonds and Ricciardi had a decisive win 9-2 over Hamilton and Inglis in the Social Grade final.

In Division 1 (Competitive), Ian Newton and Bree Arnott from the Upper Moutere Club came through undefeated in pool play to nar-rowly win their semi-final 6-5 against Motueka pair Brett Martin and Heidi Mayer.

Their opponents in the final, Sam Piper and Tania Erskine from the Tahunanui Club had a narrow 5-3 win over Gavin Scandlyn and Pauline Smith from the Stoke Club in their semi-final.

Newton and Arnott were beaten by Piper and Erskine in the 2015 final, so this set the scene for an exciting grand final. This match delighted the viewing crowd as the balance of power see-sawed back and forth, with a tie breaker second set, and then a third set tie breaker.

In the end the power of Arnott’s ground strokes and Newton’s strong volleying skills triumphed over Piper and Erskine. The winners of the Lodestone Trophy for 2016 were Newton and Arnott.

The afternoon was finished off with a prize giving to the division winners and runners-up, followed by some generously donated spot prizes.Pictured above: Winners of the Lode-stone Trophy, who are the winners of the Competitive Division Ian Newton & Bree Arnott. Photo credit: Kathryn Wilkinson.
