Later, I visited King Street to see the artists at work and to speak to Looking around at the calm, industrious atmosphere, it was easy Ian Chapman, artist and coordinator, Leanne Taylor, artist and tutor to agree that every town should have an Artworks. and to Linda. Jan Farr King Street Artworks is primarily funded by the Wairarapa DHB for mental health but a referral isn’t necessary. “Our kaupapa from the start has been an open door policy,” Linda said. “I’ve worked here for 20 years. I stay because it works.” Linda feels a strong connection between King Street and Heart of Arts and thinks that there should be a place like this in every town. Ian was part of the establishment committee 21 years ago. “It’s a unique service and we know what we do works. It’s about early intervention and self-directed care,” he said. “The connection with the community is valued. We work with all sorts of people from all walks of life. We don’t put pressure on them to jump through hoops. Sometimes people who are not well just need a place to be. It’s not a drop-in centre, people are expected to do some work. The staff are flexible and fantastic. We have zero turnover.” I watched while Leanne quietly helped people from Carterton’s IDEA services to make clay giraffes. She has worked at King Street for twelve years but first came eighteen years ago when she heard on the radio that they were Bridget McLaren & her dog Goldie. Photo Jan Farr.

The fish is endemic to Aotearoa but the Commissioner for the Environment has classified it as threatened. Story teller, Joe Potangaroa, said, “There are hundreds of rich stories about tūna and their relationship with the tangata whenua and early pākeha settlers in the Wairarapa and we feel it is important to share some of them.” TŪNA! is a significant symbolic act: to welcome the eel back at a time when it is threatened. The event aims to increase appreciation for the eel, to acknowledge its importance in the health of our rivers and to celebrate the ancient fish by telling historical and mythical stories. TŪNA! expresses sorrow for the plight of the eel and hopes for a healthier future.

Animal Management Your dog and fireworks Fireworks night will soon be upon us, causing pet and livestock distress. Lions designed and built a fence around Carrington Park pensioner rental units. Photo Rae Andrews. Animal Management will receive calls of dogs that have run away and dogs that are found hiding on properties. It is especially important that dogs are wearing their current registration tag and microchipped for quick identification so they can be immediately returned home, avoiding the further stress of “HEY” going into the pound. Looking for a new interest? Tips to help keep the stress level down for your dog: WHY NOT have a go at • Walk your dog earlier in the evening to tire them out. • Keep your dog inside with the curtains closed. Indoor Bowls • Feed them before the fireworks start; a full stomach should help them relax and make them sleepy. WHERE? : SWWMC • Create a dark den for your dog to hide in.

South End Kindergarten Small kaitiaki This term the children have been watching the landscape garden development at the back of the playground and it is finally finished. The children have been very excited about being able to explore the new area. We have been discussing how we, as a group, can work together as kaitiaki and nurture the garden’s growth. The children have made suggestions such as, “We can smell the plants and water them to help them grow.” If this seems like an area your child would like to explore, please feel free to pop in to see the teachers at the kindergarten.

Carterton Rose Society October Rose Notes Your plants will now be growing fast and there may be strong winds, so you may need to stake and tie sappy growth to prevent them being torn off at the base by the wind. If there is not much rain you will need to water deeply. New plants will now benefit from a light feed: organic material blood and bone or compost. There may be some blooms – pick as you like. For roses planted last winter, cut blooms with short stems and as blooms fade dead-head them at once. In October and November it’s time to start visiting rose nurseries and gardens as there will be lots of flowers and you will be inspired for next year or inspired to get replacement bushes for your garden. Keep up the spraying. Take care not to spray on windy days as spray drift is damaging. Wear protective clothing. Keep your mulch loose with a hoe. Do not allow mulch to compact as it may become impenetrable to water. Happy gardening! This is a wonderful time of year in your garden. Enjoy! Within the first two weeks this initiative rescued almost half a tonne of food from New World alone. Phillippa Edwards, Carterton Rose Society
