New Zealand’s longest servingfire chief has stepped down after53-years.

Chief Fire Officer BarryFisher, is welcoming retirementafter many years leading the crewat the Taumarunui VolunteerFire Brigade.

‘‘This has been my town. I’vebeen responsible for this town allthose times. When people have anemergency they rely on you andthe troops.

‘‘I can step back now and smellthe roses.’’

The 72-year-old has seen firsthand the effects of fire, aircraftcrashes and motor vehicleaccidents, many times over.

Despite all the highs and lowshe leaves satisfied, eager to catchup with friends and family.

‘‘There’s things I want to do -touring and spending time withthe family. I’m happy about it.

‘‘My grandchildren always say,will pop be able to come or is hetied up with the fire brigade,

whereas now I say no.‘‘It does have an effect on

everybody.’’Fisher is also looking forward

to spending more time with hiswife, Judy, at their family homein Mt Maunganui.

‘‘Without their support itwould not have been possible.Although there has been personalhighlights over the years it hasbeen challenging at times.’’

The good times include beingaward a 25-year Gold Star, a50-year medal and a Queens Ser-

vice medal.As a patron of the Auckland

Provincial Fire Brigade Gold StarAssociation, he has been able tomeet fellow fire fighters.

‘‘That’s the great part of thefire service is your part of a fam-ily which is right across thecountry.’’

Camaraderie and the supportof family has played an importantrole in Fisher staying so long.

Starting in 1963, Fisher arrivedin Taumarunui on a one-year con-tract to install the automatic tele-

phone exchange.After seeing an ad in the local

paper looking for volunteers, hedecided to apply.

The decision to stay came easywhen he met his wife.

Working through the variousranks there have been personalhighlights and challenges.

‘‘It has not always been a bed ofroses but through the brigade con-nection we have made lots of verygood friends and we’re happy tocontribute to the wellbeing of theTaumarunui community.’’

Caravan food with a tasty differenceFRANCES FERGUSON

Pie Nui is a

stepping stone

for sisters,

Elizabeth Steel

and Courtney

Tiwha.

A dream to serve qualityaffordable food has turned into areality for two sisters .

Pie Nui, is Taumarunui’s latestsmall business.

Operating from a caravan outof The Forgotten WorldAdventures carpark, the pairhave a prime spot to serve localsand visitors.

Thanks to their big brother,Courtney Tiwha and ElizabethSteel’s spontaneous decision ispaying off.

Steel said they were chuckedinto it by their brother who toldthem to get in there and do it.

‘‘Our brother was looking onTrade Me and found this. He said,alright, we’re buying it, fix it,make it happen.’’

Tiwha said literally within 24hours she was the proud co-ownerof her own business.

‘‘It has always been a good ideaand a lot of people have wanted todo it.’’

More support came whenTiwha’s former employer gavethem permission to set up outsidehis business.

‘‘I approached him with theidea and they said yeah, why not.

‘‘I don’t think we’d have a greatlocation if it wasn’t for him. Itcould have ended up the otherway and we ended up somewhereelse that might not have beengood for us.’’

The pair are tight lipped aboutthe future but say plans are in thepipeline to make Pie Nui perma-nent.

‘‘The ultimate goal is to getLizzy her cafe, bar, an eats placewith lots of different things thatthe town doesn’t have.’’

Coming from a family of

caterers and cooks the step to setup a business has been a naturalprogression.

Business is steady and the pairsay the support from locals hasbeen great.

It could also be the homecooked food, biodegradable pack-aging and organic coffee that

brings the crowds.Catering to all of their

customers needs, a decision wasmade to use Kokako coffee after acustomer’s query.

The coffee is known as a topbrand only served at exclusivecafes.

Mindful the town isn’t made of

money, the aim is to serve qualityaffordable food.

‘‘If you’ve only got five bucksin your pocket you can comedown and get something decent.

‘‘The idea has always beenthere for us. We are really gratefulit did happen through great fam-ily support,’’ Tiwha said.


The Amazing AngusWhat a privilege it is for us

as a community that the Long

family travelled half way

around the world to join our

community. The whole family

contribute significantly to our

town in so many ways and

continually give us reason to

be proud that they are part of

our community.

Middle son Angus has

become a well known figure

in our community as a

superstar performer in drama

and musical productions and

more recently as a director.

Anyone who has heard him

sing will tell you he has the

most incredible voice and you

know you are in the presence

of a great talent. The amazing

thing about Angus is that

it is not just in the cultural

arena that he thrives, he is

an exceptional young leader

who plays a significant role

as Head Boy of the High

School and member of the

Youth Council. He is a brilliant

scholar, having already

achieved his NCEA Level

3 and continuing to strive

for Excellence endorsement.

As a role model they don’t

come any better, he is equally

as comfortable holding down

conversations with political

leaders and academics as

he is with junior students in

the school.

Angus is very quick to

acknowledge the support he

gets from others. He has just

been selected to represent

Performing Arts Taumarunui

and Zone 2 of the Musical

Theatre New Zealand at a

youth conference and arts

boot camp to be held in

Mosgiel. Angus is extremely

grateful to the Little Theatre

who are sponsoring the entire

cost of his trip.

Next year Angus will be off

to University and typical of

this hardworking, proactive

young man he has checked

out which University offers

the best programme and has

already visited to check it out.

Remember the name Angus

Long, because we will see

it in lights and we will say –

“he comes from Taumarunui.”

Unregistered dogs disappointFRANCES FERGUSON

Ruapehu District Council isurging dog owners who have stillnot registered their dogs to do soimmediately as enforcementaction is about to start.

Compliance team leader,Brenda Ralph said council had 675dogs on its database that have notyet been re-registered.

‘‘Unfortunately it seems thatevery year there are a core groupof owners that do not registertheir dogs by due date.

‘‘It is disappointing to stillhave this level of non-compliancedespite writing to each and everydog owner on the database andadvertising the registrationperiod widely.’’

A total of 391 owners have beennotified and the next stage willhave Compliance officers visitingresidence if required she said.

Dogs should have been regis-tered by the end of June.

Owners will given an extramonth to register their pets beforepenalties were imposed.

‘‘Unfortunately, despite theextra month’s leeway it seemsthat every year we have aroundthe same number of owners whoneed to be chased along to re-register their dogs.’’

Ralph is surprised at the lackof response since there are signifi-cant financial benefits for dogowners who pay on time and meetother legal and good dog ownerobligations.

‘‘Every council in New Zealandworks to the same timetable fordog registrations which is the

same year-after-year so any longterm dog owner is well aware ofthe registration requirements.’’

She said owners are respon-sible for ensuring they keep coun-cil advised of any changes to theirdogs status.

This includes when a dog dies,the dog has a new home, change ofaddress or when getting a newdog.

Dog owners with anunregistered dog are liable to paya dog impoundment fee, a yearlyregistration, any late penalty fees

with an additional infringementof $300 per dog if it remainsunregistered.

The clamp down has seenmany councils around thecountry work together with Policeto seize dogs.

The subsequent enforcementcampaign has seen more than 100menacing dogs seized since Julyby the Auckland Council.

Payments can be made at thecouncil offices. For enquiries ringTaumarunui 07 895 8188, Ohakune06 385 8364 or Raetihi 06 385 4447.

Sixteen businesses were recognised for helping to complete a $30,000 community project for free. A plaquewas placed on the fence line at the Manson’s Gardens as a thank you to acknowledge everyone’s efforts. CouncillorKaren Ngatai from Enterprising Taumarunui said she was ‘‘really stoked’’ with the project and the plaque was a fittingway to recognise the big contribution of those involved. ‘‘It makes me very proud to be part of this town.’’

time for Raetihi’’Installation of water filters forRaetihi residents affected by thediesel spill in Makotuku Streamin 2013 is underway.

Waikato DHB Mental Health • How we’re doing

Greg Thompson (not his real name), mental health and

addictions client, shares his story.

came into Community Mental Health in London Street

on a Tuesday afternoon, after my psychologist

suggested that I needed more help.

After being assessed by the triage nurse a support worker came

into the room to sit with me as I was in no state to go back out

to reception. What a dude. He chatted to me and distracted

me when I needed it most. He was just so awesome.

Then two crisis team staff members came to talk to me.

Amazing people. I can’t describe my appreciation. At 31

years old I have been the support person my entire life – both

personally and professionally. To be on the receiving end of their

support was incredible. I have a huge amount of respect for

what you guys do, and you were all amazing.

I thank you for your help with all my heart. We need more

people like you in the world.

With love and gratitude.

Waikato Mental Health & Addictions Service is keen to get better

at keeping our community informed about what we do.

This is the second Mental Health & Addictions Report

‘‘Sleeping ghosts, like sleeping dogs,should never be needlessly awakened.’’Chris Trotter

The NZ wars - Let sleeping ghosts lie

Should we commemorate the NZ land

wars?

CHRIS TROTTER

OPINION: It had to come, thisofficial recognition of the dead ofthe New Zealand Wars. After fourdecades of constant revision, ournation’s story has reached thepoint where even those who fell inthe battles that made it are sum-moned forth from the shadows. Inrecognising these ghosts, how-ever, we must not deceive our-selves that the causes for whichthey fought and died will some-how remain unrecognised.

In announcing the Govern-ment’s intention to set aside a dayto commemorate those who fell inthe battles of one-and-a-halfcenturies ago, the Deputy PrimeMinister, Bill English, declaredthat the time had come ‘‘to recog-nise our own conflict, our ownwar, our own fallen, because thereis no doubt at Rangiriri ordinarypeople lost their lives fighting forprinciple in just the same way as

New Zealand soldiers who losttheir lives fighting on battlefieldson the other side of the world’’.

And what principle would thatbe, Mr English? The principle ofdual sovereignty? – because thatwas what the Kingitanga repres-ented. The principle of tinorangatiratanga? – in recognitionof which the sovereign rights ofMaori chiefs had been deemedinviolate under the Treaty of Wai-tangi? Or, was it the more generalprinciple, recognised then, as it isnow, that the military invasionand seizure of territory occupiedby people who have not struck ablow against you is an inter-national crime?

When teachers are asked toexplain why 12,000 Imperialtroops invaded the Waikato andthe Bay of Plenty in 1863-64, howwould Mr English have themreply? Should they tell theirpupils that the Maori fightingforce, against which this massive

army advanced, struggled tomaintain a muster of four-figures?And what should they say aboutthe million Maori acresconfiscated by the Settler Parlia-ment? How should that be justi-fied?

Perhaps these questions

should be left for the Minister ofArts Culture and Heritage,Maggie Barry, to answer. Shewas, after all, the person whodescribed the invasion of the Wai-kato, and the Battle of Rangiriri,as: ‘‘a deeply regrettable time inour history’’.

So what, exactly does Ms Barryfind ‘‘regrettable’’ about the NewZealand Wars? That the Pakehawon them? That the confiscatedlands of the Waikato, Bay ofPlenty and Taranaki tribes wenton to form the foundation of NewZealand’s economic prosperity?That by removing the risk offurther warfare, prepared the wayfor the breakneck development ofthe colony Are these the conse-quences of the New Zealand Warsthat the Minister of Arts Cultureand Heritage regrets? Probablynot.

So what, exactly, will Maoriand Pakeha talk about on this yet-to-be-announced day of commem-

oration? Will the victors tell thevanquished how damned decent itwas of their ancestors to let theirancestors kill so many warriorsand steal so much land? Will thevanquished shrug their shouldersand say, ‘‘No worries, Bro, it wasa long time ago’’? And will thevictors smile indulgently, slap thevanquished on the back, and say:‘‘Quite right, Mate, it was, andwe’re all New Zealanders now.’’

We shall see. Of one thing wecan be certain, however: the deadwho have slept for one-and-a-halfcenturies beneath the disputedsoil of Aotearoa will have a verydifferent story to tell.

There is a reason why so manyof the signposts to old battle sitesare weathered and overgrown;why lichen has been allowed toobliterate the names of those whofell.

Sleeping ghosts, like sleepingdogs, should never be needlesslyawakened.

AspirationNoun: Something that you hope to achieve

Strong desire to achieve something such as success

During Council’s discussions wit apehu

communities for the Annual Pla s ar that

people had signiicant aspirations for the their

town, community and the District.

The clear message was that people were tired o aiting

for things to happen’and wanted to see tangible gns of

progress in their township along with the opport s

and investment that comes with it.

One of key discussions we had with our communi was

around the government’s plans for regional develo ent

on the back of the Manawatu-Whanganui Regional

Growth Study and the subsequent Regional Action

programme called Accelerate25.

In order to unlock co-investment opportunities with

government under the Accelerate25 Action Plan Ruapehu

needed to show that it was willing and able to invest in

itself.

Ruapehu communities overwhelmingly supported

Council’s proposal to direct money into the economic

development activity to take advantage of future co-

investment opportunities with Government.

Unfortunately, at the time of the Annual Plan consultation

government was still in the process of deciding what

co-investment projects it would support and we were

unable to show what the opportunities were and how

these may impact on our communities.

Government has now identiied tourism and visitor

services as o�ering immediate opportunities as well as a

range of other agri-based development opportunities.

These initial announcements are however just the tip of

the ‘co-investment opportunity iceberg’ and there are

many other projects that we are actively working on or

that are in the planning stage that we will be seeking

funding for.

Through the Annual Plan consultation process

communities took the opportunity to raise a number of

other issues they saw as important to their future well-

being such as township revitalisation and Council’s role in

facilitating this, economic and other development.

Council undertook at the time to hold a series of public

follow-up meetings on these and other issues critical to

the future of individual townships and the District.

We now invite you to join us at one of the township

meetings to talk about these issues including; the

Regional Accelerate25 Action Plan, government’s initial

co-investment announcements, planned and future

projects, township revitalis ation, Council services, the

2018/28 Long Term Plan process and how this all its

together.

The overwhelming point made by the Regional Growth

Study was that “the ship will not right itself”. Putting

Ruapehu back on a path to growth and prosperity will

require a commitment to change and development and

dedicated leadership.

We invite you to be part of this commitment and help

provide the dedicated leadership needed to take our

townships and Ruapehu forward

Don Cameron

RuapehuMayor

What are your aspirations for your town, community and the District?Putting Ruapehu and our townships on a path to growth and prosperity will take ideas, energy and passion from

the people who will benefit the most - our local communities. Help be part of the solution and join Council at your

local township meeting to discuss the Regional Accele an and vernment’s first-up co-investment

announcements, planned and future pro ects, tow revitalisation , uncil services, the 2018/28 Long Term

Plan process and how this all fits t r.

High Quality Education in

our CommunityA wonderful community with excellent educational

opportunities!

There is no doubt Taumarunui is one of themost fantastic places to

grow up, to live and to work. It is not only the incredible natural

beauty, the rich heritage and culture that make it a great place, it is

also largley down to the wonderful sense of community. People in

the community still care about one another, take the time to talk to

one another and there is always a friendly greeting wherever you go.

Community is important, because it gives a sense of belonging, of

being part of something, of being supported and of contributing. If

we hope tomaintain that wonderful sense of community that we

have, we need tomake sure we are supporting our community.

It is very easy to be critical and to always look outside for greener

pastures, thinking it must be better elsewhere, but that is often not

the case and we should always be looking to support our own

community first.

We have an excellent Secondary School right here in our

Community!

We have been hard at work improving our school and year after year

we have built it up to be a great school. We offer an amazing range

of learning opportunites for students in a very 21st Century way. We

have fantastic facilities that are constantly being improved and

upgraded. Our staff are focused on ensuring they have excellent

pedagogical skills and work tirelessly for the betterment of their

students. Our students achieve well, are exceptionally talented and

contribute to their community.

If you have children who are of an age where Secondary schooling is

on the horizon, you should be considering us, we provide a fantastic

education right here in Taumarunui.

Our doors are open if you would like to find out more about what we

do as a school. The choice of Seconday School is a very important

decision in the life of your child, we would encourage you to make

an informed decision.

Your continued support of your local school enables us to keep

providing a wide range of options to students, to keep improving and

to continue to help shape the the future of our community.

Now that the train no longer stops in our town, everyone wishes

they had supported the service and used it more. As a community

we need to support what we have, while we have it, not wait until

it is gone to bemaon the loss.

For more information on any of these opportunities

contact the school office on 07 895 7179.

Kamu Lala’s love for books and people has made her the longest serving librarian in

the Ruapehu District.

Longest-servinglibrarian has noplan to retireFRANCES FERGUSON ‘‘There were all these

drawers and insidewere cards with allthe books in thelibrary.There was nogoing to thecomputer andtapping a few keysand looking it up.’’Kamu Lala

A bookworm’s love of books hasturned into a 24-year labour of lovefor the district’s longest servinglibrarian.

Kamu Lala is a familiar face tomany who visit the TaumarunuiDistrict Library.

The opportunity came in 1999 forLala to pursue a career once herchildren were grown up.

Starting at 12 hours a week as alibrarian assistant Lala worked herway to become the DistrictCoordinating Librarian.

Witnessing all the changes in theindustry there has been one simplefact that has kept Lala in her job.

‘‘I was a bookworm. It was mypassion. I like having people aroundme all the time.

‘‘I love the people contact. Whenyou get the regulars come in andthey say, could you recommend anew book and you get to know whatsort of book they’d like.

‘‘They come back and say theyloved the book, it’s such a good feel-ing to help.’’

To keep up with the changes Lalaupskilled when required.

This included graduating with aDiploma in Library Studies andlearning computers which was chal-lenging.

One significant change is seeingthe library become an importantpart of the community.

‘‘They’ve changed so much overthe years from a quiet place to a hubof the community. It’s a social placenow.

‘‘That’s not going to change, it’sonly going to keep growing. It’s oneinstitution you can’t do without.’’

Lala started when there was nocomputers so everything was doneby hand.

Working with the Dewey deci-mal system she said everything hadto be typed which was an ongoingjob.

‘‘There were all these drawersand inside were cards with all thebooks in the library.

‘‘There was no going to the com-puter and tapping a few keys andlooking it up.’’

When computers were intro-duced life became easier and faster.

Membership increased and Lalasaid it became cool for youngerpeople to come to the library.

‘‘I’m still very happy workinghere. It’s a nice pleasant environ-ment.

‘‘When I walk into the libraryevery morning I can smell thebooks.’’

Minister rewards Mt Ruapehu cadetsFRANCES FERGUSON

Graduate Vission

Ngarongo and Ali

Chalmley

celebrate their

success with

Minister Louise

Upston.

Cadets graduating from amountain training programmegot the chance to share their suc-cess with National MP LouiseUpston.

The Associate Tertiary Edu-cation, Skills and EmploymentMinister was invited to hear fromthe latest batch of Mt Ruapehucadets.

Vission Ngarongo from Tau-marunui, a graduate of the 2014programme said the cadetshiphad given her a newfound level ofconfidence.

‘‘In our home town, there arenot very many job opportunities.So this has been a really big thingfor me, and watching the nextcadets come along and accomplishsomething is really good to see.

‘‘Now, doing this, I want acareer up here and just want toget to know everything. It’s goodto be here working where I feellike I belong and I don’t have toleave home, or leave my family.’’

Returning to study for the 2016Advanced Cadetship programme,Ngarongo was presented with theNew Zealand Certificate in Tour-ism Level 3.

Ali Chalmey, supervisor ofTuroa Snowsports Centre wasalso presented with the SkillsActive National Certificate inFirst Line Management.

Through the cadetship,Ngarongo also gained a Skills

Active National Certificate in Rec-reation and Sport Level 2.

Industry training organisationSkills Active, and RuapehuAlpine Lifts created the cadet pro-gramme.

Louise Upston said she was abig believer in lifelong learning.

‘‘I think it’s a myth to say that

you get a qualification and thenyou’re done. You can learn fromanyone in front of you, and ifyou’re open to learning fromeveryone, you’ll have quite a dif-ferent experience from life.’’

She said Ruapehu Alpine Liftsstaff were also in the unique pos-ition of being able to show the best

of New Zealand to those peoplevisiting from overseas.

Skills Active chief executiveGrant Davidson said it was goodto see the minister acknowledgingthe importance of local employ-ment opportunities for localpeople.

‘‘This visit clearly shows that

tertiary funding must alsoencourage the upskilling oflearners to meet regionalrequirements. The joint work thatSkills Active and Mt Ruapehu aredoing is creating opportunitiesand development for youngpeople, so that they have a futurein their region.’’

Your healthWITH AUTHOR AND NUTRITIONAL BIOCHEMIST DR LIBBY

Prior to falling pregnant Ifollowed you religiously as wellas during my pregnancy, and Ireally ate very clean andlooked after myself. I alsomanaged to cure my PCOS(polycystic ovary syndrome).

I have an 11 month old, and Ido not think I will get decentsleep any time soon. I have puton weight since the baby wasborn (I didn’t actually put onthat much while I waspregnant). Any advice on whatfoods and supplements can giveme the energy I need to getthrough this difficult period inmy life? I want to give my babythe support she needs to helpher learn to sleep gently and Iwant to keep breast-feeding.Thanks, Lou

Hi Lou. It can be physicallyand emotionally challenging toget back on your feet after a babyarrives, and this can be moredifficult if there are additionalyoung ones at home and if the

mother is not well supported.Hormonally, nutritionally andemotionally, things can take timeto restore.

In my experience, it is criticalfor a mum to work with a healthprofessional experienced in thisarea, one who understands theway biochemistry, nutrition andemotions interplay. Typically,iron and zinc will be too low forthe body to make the substancesrequired for happiness andoptimism, and these often need tobe supplemented.

Testing these levels first isimportant. Other nutrients thatmay need focus include vitaminC, vitamin D and magnesium.The omega-3 fat DHA is anessential supplement for adepleted mum. This is vital fornervous system (including thebrain) support, as well ashormonal balance. Oily fishsupply DHA, and there are nowsome good-quality supplementsderived from algae. Also, the body

can convert another omega-3 fatfound in plants (such as flaxseedsand chia seeds), known as EPA,into DHA; however, the efficiencyof the body to do this seems highlyindividual. Some studies suggestthis conversion is up-regulatedduring pregnancy but notlactation. The focus for thedepleted mum needs to be on easy,practical meals made from whole,real foods that are nutrient-dense.

Seeking support is also critical.

If you feel as though you may beexperiencing post-natal depletion,let a friend know and seekprofessional support, such as thehelp of a psychologist.

Restorative practices thatactivate the rest and repair arm ofthe nervous system are also acritical part of recovery fromdepletion. Restorative yoga,Stillness Through Movement, andacupuncture are all beautiful andhighly effective.

I often suffer from coldsores, I’ve heard that Lysine isbeneficial – is there anyevidence behind this? Thanks,Rob.

Hi Rob. Several studies suggestthat supplementing with theamino acid lysine may helpreduce the number of recurringoutbreaks of cold sores.

A few studies also suggest thatlysine may help to shorten thelength of an outbreak.

Taking lysine or obtainingmore lysine in your diet, fromfoods such as chicken, fish, eggs,and potatoes, may assist recoveryand reduce the chance ofrecurrent breakouts of this herpesinfection.

It’s always best to consult ahealth professional before takingsupplements, particularly if youtake prescription medication orhave any health conditions. Iwould also stress that zinc issupportive for the immunesystem and stress managementtechniques are also important –often cold sore outbreaks occurwhen the nervous system isoverwhelmed.


Get growing with these garden tips

Cacti and succulents are easy to look after - they thrive even when you forget

to water them.

What do you do if you want a lush garden butdon’t have the knack? Erin Reilly plants someideas to get you growing.

My nana is an incrediblegardener. Her vegegarden is an endlesscycle of luscious

leaves, trees, roots and fruits,constantly changing dependingon the seasons.

For every dinner she cooks,there’s something in it that shepicked fresh from the garden anhour ago. Don’t even get mestarted on her flower garden orthe cute little rockery thatsurrounds the fish pond down atthe bottom of her section.

My mum inherited nana’sgreen fingers. I, on the otherhand, did not. I dream of abountiful vege garden just like mynana’s, but reality reminds methat my attention span isn’t thatgreat. Gardening takes a lot moreeffort than I can muster, andbesides, nothing’s going to get meout there with a watering can anda trowel when Game of Thrones is

on. Still, there’s a big part of methat wishes I had the stamina forgardening.

I dream of the classic quarter-acre block with a big house andan even bigger garden filled tooverflowing with enough freshproduce for my family and myneighbours. Not killingeverything I touch would be goodtoo.

Fortunately there are optionswhen it comes to gardening forpeople like me who don’t havegreen fingers. Cacti andsucculents are easy. They thriveeven when you forget to waterthem. Some, like aloe vera plants,can be used for medicinalpurposes. Others, like venus flytraps, can be used to help spiderskeep your house clear of nasties(not to mention entertaining/scaring your kids).

Pot plants are relatively easy tokeep alive too. Of course they

need a bit more TLC than thehardy cactus, but generallyspeaking a pot plant can look afteritself if they’re positioned in sucha way that the rain can waterthem and the daylight can hitthem.

Herb gardens are deliciously

aromatic and pretty easy forgardening beginners toexperiment with. It really doesn’tmatter which herbs you go for,they all look lovely pottedtogether in bulk on a balcony orplaced in individual pots alongyour kitchen window sill. The

upside of the latter is that you’remore likely to remember to waterthem if they’re within reach of thekitchen sink.

And while ‘garden’ impliessome sort of foliage,contemporary backyards oftenbuck the trend. Transform yourgarden into a stylishentertainment area with bigpaving stones, river stones, fancylighting and a fire pit, and you’llnever have to worry about killinganother plant again. If you justhave to have some greenery inthere, keep a few strips of lushlawn. Add a simple water featureand you’ve got yourself a gardenthat’s low in maintenance andoozing in suburban style.

More is a lot less in Suicide Squad mess

Everything Suicide Squad does is constantly trying to buy your adulation and takes it further and further away from the film it could have been.

Review

Suicide Squad (M)Directed byDavid AyerStarringWill Smith,Margot Robbie,Viola Davis, Jared Leto123mins

What’s made it to the screen asSuicide Squad could not havehappened without Marvel.

This DC property has priorsuper-pics all over it as it strivesto achieve similar results.

At its core, there’s a DirtyDozen cannon-fodder missionmovie, and a focus on villains thathasn’t been explored elsewhere.Sadly the whiff of Marvel-wannabe desperation means onecan just about see the notes in themargins – needs more Guardiansof the Galaxy music cues here;funny, tonally inconsistentDeadpool graphics in this bit;Avengers banter, more Avengersbanter.

Sadly, everything SuicideSquad does in constantly trying tobuy your adulation – literally, themusic budget must have beeninsane – takes it further andfurther away from the film itcould have been. Or even a half-decent one.

But enough focusing on what itcould have been. What made it tothe screen is a mess that strugglesto accommodate both DCuniverse-building and ananarchic sensibility.

Ben Affleck shows up here andthere as Batman/Bruce Wayne,and 100 per cent does not belongin this movie anywhere. Hispresence is nearly as jarring asthat of Margot Robbie’s posterior,which seems to get over an hourof screen time, subjected to dozens

upon dozens of leery cameramoves that prove disturbing, notleast of all because she plays anabuse victim styled in

kinderwhore/Suicide Girlfashion.

Robbie, the actress as opposedto the sex doll, is actually prettygreat at getting as much aspossible from her character. DittoWill Smith, who is a welcomepresence here. But those are the

only high points from the cast,with Jared Leto flat out suckingas The Joker, his minimal screentime leaving me dreading hisfilms to come... Overthought, yetvery, very dumb, Suicide Squad isa huge, aggravating misfire.Steve Newall,

Swinging timefor Matieresmall business

Thomas Mortimer and Jenny Etherington’s swings are becoming a household name in Europe.

Solvej Swings are

becoming a

swinging success

with parents

worldwide.

FRANCES FERGUSON

Hidden behind a dilapidatedbuilding, overgrown with scrubin the heart of the King Country.isa successful international busi-ness.

Operating out of the oldMatiere post office, Solvej Swings,has carved itself a niche makingswings for babies and toddlers.

Exporting all over the world,Jenny Etherington and ThomasMortimer are preparing for theirlaunch in Germany.

After receiving a positiveresponse about their product inFrance the couple decided tobranch out.

‘‘People are wanting to getaway from plastic. It’s natural anda styley type of swing.

‘‘This is top quality materials,top quality workmanship.’’

The entrepreneurial couple’sonline business has allowed themto reach customers world wide.

Ranging from $140, three differ-ent models of swings cater for sixmonths to six years of age andadults.

The popularity of the swingshas resulted in looking for biggerpremises and hiring more people.

Mortimer said economicallyit’s a good option to start off with afactory in a small village.

‘‘Everything doesn’t have to be

farming. We deliver and sell to thewhole world from this little placehere.’’

The swings are made from can-vas, rope, Matai and Totara tim-ber.

Starting in 1993 the idea camewhen Mortimer was asked byfriends to make swings for theirchildren.

‘‘I wasn’t keen to have my prin-cess in a plastic, moulded swingso I made her a swing in the way Iremember baby swings fromwhen I was a child. Very basic butlovely and feels sort of natural.’’

At the time the cabinet makerwas making outdoor furniture.

After a few samples soldquickly the couple realised therewas a demand.

‘‘We’ve been slowly developingand making the product betterand we’re actually making thebest swing that’s out there,’’Etherington said.

The natural canvas andwooden swings have been made tomeet safety standards.

Plans are currently underwayto design more swings andaccessories.

Mortimer said the next step isto start employing people so theycan spend more time marketingthe business.

BNZ close doors for MoreroFRANCES FERGUSON

Briar Hickling, Anahera Tekere Hose

and Christy Keystone will help clean

along Morero stream.

Staff from the BNZ will berolling up their sleeves to volun-teer their time in a communityproject.

The return of the Closed ForGood initiative will see six stafffrom the Taumarunui branchclose their doors for one day.

‘Mad’ Easter Sunday laws to change

PrimeMinister John Key deniesNational MPs should be allowed aconscience vote on Easter Sundaytrading, saying the current rulesare ‘‘mad’’ and local councilsshouldmake the decisions.

Family First has joined formerAll BlackMichael Jones inencouraging National MPs to bucktheir party’s line and vote down theShop Trading Hours AmendmentBill, which would allow councils todecidewhether or not shops couldopen on Easter Sunday.

Key said he did not think theproposed law should be treated asa conscience issue, as it was aboutallowing local councils to decidewhether shops could open, ratherthan forcing a nationwide change.

‘‘You’re never going to get aresolution to this through

parliament...the only way you’regoing to resolve it is for the localcommunities to bemasters of theirown destiny, and that is not aconsciencematter.’’

Key saidmany shops alreadydefied the trading restrictions,whichwere already inconsistent indifferent parts of the country.

‘‘Where the current laws are setismad, because if you go down theroad from, where I live, youwant toturn left at the top ofmy street,you hit Newmarket and you can’ttrade over [Easter]...you go rightand you are, because you’re inParnell and Parnell is deemed to bea tourism hub and Newmarketwasn’t.’’

The proposed lawwas a chanceto find a solution where previousattempts had failed, he said.

Property

Art deco, Greece, ancient EgyptSTUFF.CO.NZ

Helen Strevens drew the portrait of her sister Sarah for her 40th birthday.

Helen Strevens

has handpainted

the wall paper in

her art deco Mt

Albert

apartment.

Helen Strevens makes a point ofignoring the cheerful interiortrends that ricochet around theworld. Her 1940s art deco apart-ment in Mt Albert, Auckland,which she and her husband Oli-ver Harmer bought several yearsago, has a slightly faded, retroappeal from the outside.

Enter, however, and it unfoldsto reveal generous spaces and astyle that doesn’t owe its eleganceto any design blog, app, or reno-vation reality show. Instead,Strevens, a designer, draws herinspiration from a potent brewthat includes ancient Egypt,classical Greece, old Hollywood,and the candy-coloured 1980sdesign movement known asMemphis.

It takes a steady hand to com-bine these elements in a smallishhome and create a mood that’s notat all hectic. But then Strevenshas been honing her eye sincebirth. She grew up surrounded bybeautiful interiors, then went onto study architecture and work inthat field – although the currenttrend for glass and steel boxescouldn’t hold her. ‘‘Architecturein New Zealand in this day andage is quite plain and I don’t doplain.’’

Film set design was more fun

and the designer has worked onproductions such as The Lord ofthe Rings, The Hobbit, and MarcoPolo, each adding to her internallibrary of visual references.

Her most recent incarnation isa designer of HMS Studio, herown brand of homeware, forwhich she travels the world sell-ing into upmarket stores. ForStrevens, who loves nothing morethan draughtmanship, thesewallpapers, cushions and dinnerplates, which feature throughoutthe apartment, are simply herlatest canvas.

‘‘I have recurring motifs: faces– specifically eyes – and architec-tural features such as columns. Ilove geometric forms – thepyramid, the sphere, the cube.Each new collection builds onthese motifs and over time theywill start to cross-pollinate,’’ shesays.

The room is elevated and getssun all day in both summer andwinter.

The two 1989 lacquered woodOllo cabinets, designed byAlessandro Mendini forAlchimia, which sit on either sideof the fireplace, are key features.

‘‘I think of them as ‘‘the twins’’.We bought them at auction earlyon. Not only are these very large,they’re also boldly coloured, sothey certainly add personality.’’

Men and women divided over TV sizeBEA TAYLOR

Does TV size matter?

Etiquette expert William Hansentold the Daily Mail he thinks largeTVs should be ‘‘one of the twelvethings you should never own’’.

But Gill Myers, once a cynic oflarge TVs, recently made thedecision to upgrade to a 60-inchand says she loves it.

And her son Sam Mac agrees.

‘‘It’s an absolute game changer.’’‘‘The size of the TV means you

can sit anywhere in the loungeand dining room and the image onthe TV will always be clear andvisible.’’

He says having a big screen inthe house can actually be verysocial. ‘‘When the footy is on andall your mates know you have abig screen, they all tend to invite

themselves round for a shared vis-ual experience. It’s fantastic as itmeans you don’t have to leave thehouse on a cold winter night.’’

Myers may be the exception tothe gender stereotype thatdictates males are more hung upon the size of TVs than females,the stereotype does exist.

‘‘It’s definitely a gender thing.Prior to buying my new TV I

asked a number of men what theythought of the 60-inch and they allsaid ‘definitely go for it’. Mywomen friends were less enthusi-astic.’’

Interior designer SandraAiken agrees TVs are a source ofentertainment and relaxation butshe has a problem with big TVswhen they become the focal pointof a room.

Goingwild

Zebra skin rug.

Afraid of adding a touch of thewild to your interior decor? Don’tbe, says interior designer DaniellaNorling of Auckland’s TroveDesign: ’’Every room can take alittle bit of animal.’’

‘‘We can become afraid ofanimal and certainly if oneoverwhelms a roomwith it, aroom can look a little tres BettyLynch,’’ Norling says.

NZHouse &Garden stylistTracey Strange agrees: ’’Stronganimal prints such as zebra orleopard, especially in black andwhite, can add glamour. But theyare really easy to over-do. Beststick to one dramatic item - like afaux zebra skin or printed cowhide on the floor. Then you canmix it with bright colour such ashot pink and orange for a showybut still polished look,’’ she says.

A touch of animal can suitalmost all interior styles.

‘‘You can put animal withfloral, you can incorporate it witha really pared-back neutral. Youmight have a tiny leopard spotfor instance but it might be in

lime green,’’ Norling says. ‘‘Oftenyou find those fabrics in high-endcollections as they aren’tsomething that people usewithabandon. Youwill pay a lot ofmoney for them, but thewholething is to use a sprinkling... thenthey look fantastic in a room.’’

While some people can doanimal well, and do it big, it caneasily go very wrong, Strangewarns.

‘‘If you really like themix ofprint, hot colour andmetallic,thenmake sure you have lots ofneutral natural materialsalongside - stone, leather andpale wood for example,’’ Strangesuggests.

For those just startingwiththis style, begin with a smalldetail, like cushions. She usesaround three different textiles inher cushion collection and animalprint can be one.
