TRANSCRIPT
The team at Hospice Tairawhiti are gearing up for their biggest fundraiser on the calendar. Celebrate on March 20 is an evening
of fun, over a wine-matched menu, with an auction of donated items to get the inancial target for the hospice’s new building.
It is estimated to cost $3.1 million, and so far $2.5 million has been raised.
Tenders for the build were only open to local businesses because it is all about the
people, and making sure the money raised here, stays here.
Hospice Tairawhiti general manager Barbara Grout wanted to thank the community for their ongoing support —whether people make cash donations, donate to the Hospice Shop, buy from the Hospice shop or just buy a rale ticket.
“We couldn’t do what we do without you. We appreciate each and every little thing people do for us.”
And she is unabashed about who she hopes will be at their charity auction — the big spenders. hat $3.1 million is for an empty building — it will need to be itted out, so please don’t stop donating, says Barbara.
But while the money is needed for the bricks and mortar, what it will deliver is based irmly in hospice’s philosophy of living every moment — it is all about the people having a holistic service in their inal days.
Forty years ago 11 patients used the irst
palliative care service in Gisborne. It was the third one to open in New Zealand. Today, more than 200 people use the service every year and that number will continue to grow with an ageing population and people who live longer.
It is a free service that helps one in three Tairawhiti people, and their whanau, ind comfort in their inal days.

In 1980, Dr James Carstens set up the Gisborne Palliative Care Service, today known as Hospice Tairawhiti. And while this service is for the terminally-ill and their families, it is not about death and dying but about life and living. Sophie Rishworth reports . . .

Giving people a pill for pain is easy, says founder Dr James Carstens, but the philosophy hospice delivers goes far beyond that.
Loneliness is a pain too, and that requires people and is time intensive, he said.
Even though James does not still work with hospice, it was his dream and drive of care for the whole person that continues today.
People’s needs are the main focus of everything hospice does, and their holistic approach based on Te Whare Tapa Wha -—which includes the physical, emotional and spiritual and family.
GP Dr Moira Cunningham has worked at Hospice Tairawhiti for 22 years.
She says anyone who goes into general practice as a doctor has an interest in the whole family side of medicine,
“hat’s what makes us tick as GPs.”Moira is one of four doctors who work part-
time at Hospice Tairawhiti for around one morning a week.
When people have got to a point in their illness where there is no curative treatment ofered, hospice will focus on the quality of life.
“Whatever that means to the person we’re looking after.”
Which is why hospice is largely home-based care.
“It’s their space and it gives us much more of an idea what it means for them to be happy.
“Is it their pets, are they town, country or coast people, whatever is special to them. he individuality of each person relected in the tailor-made care they receive.
“We feel that allows us to look after them in a more complete way, by making the most of their every day.
“he way that happens is just by listening, letting them tell their story, what’s important to them.
“We also speak to their family, or who they consider their main people and help teach them how to look after a person as their health deteriorates.”
Because most people want to be in their own home or space, hospice can help co-ordinate the services.
Barbara says they have great connections in the community for their service, which is non-judgemental to cater for everyone.
It’s about making sure people are comfortable, as symptom-free as possible so they can be living every moment in whatever way is important to them.
It could be as simple as being well enough to have visitors, or go on a trip.
hey also ofer after-care to families.Barbara remembers how much a Hospice
counsellor helped her dad, after he lost his wife.
“My father struggled after my mother’s death, and the counsellor really did help him. He told me, ‘she didn’t say a lot but what she said was perfect’.”
he impact Hospice has had in people’s lives is evident by the amount of donations that pour in for the Celebrate event.
One Gisborne couple, who wished to stay anonymous, have donated a large stamp collection that was the husband’s life hobby. If you are a philatelist this would be like winning lotto, said Celebrate event organiser Bridgette Penny.
For the irst tme, Celebrate will be held at a marae.
Bridgette says having it at Te-Poho-o-Rawiri Marae seems so appropriate with what Hospice does, and a marae is known for — caring, whanau and healing.
Lead chef for Celebrate, Bryn Lewis will donate his time to prepare the evening meal, which he describes as a little Kiwiana with a East Coast twist — think Paua pie and a pavlova with kawakawa and mint.
Bryn says it is an easy decision to donate his time to the organisation.
“I believe in the empathy of it all. Everyone should have someone in their inal moments and Hospice make that happen for people.”
As well as being the lead chef, Bryn is also on the auction list for a personal wine-matched dinner party.
On top of that there will be Runa and Holly
art, experiences like trips, and the extensive stamp collection. Barbara has been with Hospice for 25 years. She started out in an administration role — the hours and lexibility suited her as she had small children.
hen she found how much she loved the Hospice culture.
“I saw what a wonderful job Hospice does, how compassionate and dedicated all the staf are. It’s a wonderful team to work in. We are all here for a common goal — it is all about the patients, and their families and providing the best service we can possibly give them.”
here are 18 staf at Tairawhiti Hospice — one of whom is volunteer co-ordinator Jane Kibble who organises the team of 200 volunteers. It is a large number of people who give their time for free — helping out to provide afternoon cover in the oice, sitting with a patient so their loved one can pop out for a few hours, baking, selling rales, or helping out at the Hospice Shop on Peel Street. Last year, the volunteer team gave 15,956 hours of their time.
he op-shop provides a continuous income stream for Hospice, which needs more than $330,000 a year from the community to top up the 70 percent of funding they get from the DHB.
he team also has four doctors Moira Cunningham, Anna Meuli, Victoria Siriett and Robin Briant. hey are working GPs who have specialised in end-of-life care, and between them are able to be at Hospice Tairawhiti for half a day each morning.
here is counsellor Nicola Carroll, and a
team of community nurses: Jude Francis, Julie Abrahams, Laura Robertson, Wendy Taylor and Jayda Taiepa, as well as two outreach nurses: clinical nurse specialist Joy Cairns who works in the hospital, and Linda Hauraki who provides support for those who work in residential aged-care and for those who live rurally.
hose who live up the Coast or inland, are mainly supported by their GPs and rural health nurses. As Barbara put it, Hospice is a complementary service. It is never a take-over from what each person’s GP is already doing for them as their primary medical provider.
As well as being there for the end-of-life process, there is a large educational role that Hospice plays in the community, led by education co-ordinator Clarice Alderdice. hey provide education and support to those who work in health care so they are able to provide their own service without having to call Hospice in.
he Hospice shop is managed by Brenda Kinder, with assitant shop manager Jacqui Ritchie.
he front oice on the hospital grounds is run by administrations assistants Teresa Gray and Lizzy Ngatai-Hawtin.
ALSO COMING UP:he Winter Fashion Show is a night of fun
and fashion on April 1, held at the Hospice Shop on Peel Street, which will be open late for the event.
Every year, Hospice Tairawhiti also hosts he Annual Night of Laughs — as laughter is the best medicine — and a strawberry festival,
he latest promotion is giving up 40 items in 40 days. Every day people are asked to give up one object, and at the end of 40 days, donate those 40 objects to the Hospice Shop — a win win for de-cluttering and helping Hospice.
• In his book, Messages from the Heart-An Odyssey in Palliative Care, Dr James Carstens wrote down the 10 things terminal patients had taught him.

Jodie Reid tries to stay awesome whenever she can.
Jodie has lived a life people are often afraid to talk openly about
because of fear of what others will think.She has been in an on-and-of relationship
with her husband and father of her children since she was 15.
“He’s the only partner I’ve ever had. I have no reference of love to compare it to,” Jodie said.
She has left him over 10 times. “I am in the process of leaving but I still
love him. hat is something people don’t want to explore. Half of him is good, half of him is ugly . . . but you love them for who they are.”
Jodie has experienced physical abuse but the emotional and mental abuse is what messed her up more.
“I have had physical abuse but after the bruises or marks are gone, the abuse is still there. It’s mind games. You play with those thoughts and it efects how you function. hat’s the sad and sick thing about it.
“Anyone out there in a relationship that knows it’s hurtful for you and your children — it’s time for you to stop for a moment and igure out why you are there because no one can move you out of that space except you.
“It took me 27 years to realise that and work it out. I did love him, I had what you could call ‘love goggles’.”
Jodie said writing down incidents that happened and thinking about how it feels when your partner comes into your space is helpful.
“Deep down, people know, it’s just so hard to let go. It is OK if it takes you ten times before you leave.
“I know a woman who couldn’t leave her violent relationship until her partner died. It’s so sad.
“You have to leave in your own time. It is a hard thing to do, your family have to watch while you go through this pain. When I see other people in it, I feel for them. You just have to show love and awhi them.
“Abuse is a common thing, a lot of people just don’t want to talk about it. hey want to hide it away and keep it in their world.”
To get through the trauma, Jodie found ways to break through the darkness and see the awesome things in life.
She uses the word awesome because positive words make positive realities.
Jodie has found self-care is one of the best ways to heal yourself after going through trauma.
“Make a self-care plan. It’s a real thing, we take care of our children, parents and pets but forget to look after ourselves.
“You have to put self-care in the front of your mind.”
Jodie’s self-care involves having a journal of gratitude where she writes down things people have said out of thankfulness to her or positive things she has said to herself.
“I write it down as it’s a physical way to remember how awesome you are. It is hard to keep that mindset.”
Another part of her self-care plan is being a part of the 5am club. She gets up at 5am, does 20 minutes of physical exertion — in her case walking — then 20 minutes of
meditation where she visualises where she wants to be, and the last few minutes is spent planning goals and intentions for the day.
“hat’s been very powerful for me.”“I have really bad self-talk. I can easily tell
myself I am pathetic, so I remind myself of positive things.
“When I do self-care I don’t do that. When I am about to think negatively, I pull out my journal and meditate on my intentions and just let go.
“One thing I have learned is putting on a ragey song and just shaking it all out. Some people might think I’m a weirdo or think I’m fritzing out when they see me dancing in the car, but weirdos are cool.
“I’m not worried about people’s judgements.”
Some of the best support Jodie has found has been at home with nature in Whangara.
She lives in Whangara “of the grid” on a paddock with three cabins and a generator that powers everything.
“I even have internet but only when I turn the generator on.
“Nature was a big support for me. I can feel my nan and mum who have both passed. I go to the trees I used to eat of when I was younger, I swim in the rivers I used to swim in as a child and I go to the beach that I always played on. I just do things that heal me. Going back home heals.
“Being out there gives me space to go internal and think. When you’re in town you have phones going of and you’re not looking inside yourself — you’re looking at other people’s lives.
“But when I’m in nature, I can feel I’m going to be OK and think ‘damn, I’m awesome — you can do anything’.
“It has helped me when I’ve gone to a very dark place, to that suicidal space.”
In 2017 Jodie was furious there were no poetry events in Gisborne for National Poetry Day. So she organised a monthly poetry jam called Radiating Awesomeness.
“I thought to myself ‘where’s our voice? Why aren’t we saying anything?’ ”
he Radiating Awesomeness poetry jam is held at Te Wananga o Aotearoa Whirikoka campus where anyone is allowed to express themselves through the spoken word.
Every month, people come and share poems or sing songs about the theme for that month. he irst poetry jam is on Wednesday, March 11 and the theme is dream.
“I want people to dream about what they will do this year.”
he poetry jams are also a research project where she focuses on how or if Radiating Awesomeness helps shift people through mauri (life force) states.
From Mauri moe (unconscious) to mauri oho (awakening) then mauri tu (revitalisation) and inally mauri ora (living your best life, wellness).
“Mauri ora is when you’re the best you,” Jodie said.
“I write the background, results and anything I notice. I am working on it as the jams go on.
“Poetry is a great way to express yourself. Anyone at all is welcome to the event,” she said.
Jodie Reid is standing up against domestic violence and helping others express themselves through the spoken word. Matai O’Connor spoke with her to learn more about how people can grow through trauma . . .

ReveRsible ways to updateyouR Rental space
here’s a lot to be said about the lexibility of renting — you can move every now and again, you can pack it all in and go travelling and . . . no mortgage! But when it comes to decorating, renting can present a bit of a challenge, with bathroom renovations, kitchen upgrades and other major changes pretty much out of the question.
In case you’re looking at your rented space and thinking, ‘I wish I could pull down that wall’, never fear — there are plenty of ways to update and personalise your space without getting structural.
And even if you do live in your own home, these little tweaks are useful as a means of updating your space on a tight budget.
First of all, it’s very important that you check what your lease says and/or what your landlord’s policy is regarding what you are permitted to do in your space.
Some will be more relaxed than others, but don’t be surprised if you are required to leave the property in its original condition when
you move out.
textilesTextiles are the easiest little tweak in the
book. hey give a space so much personality, without having to make any drastic changes. I recommend starting with a rug. Although rugs are often on the expensive side, they’ll make the biggest improvement to your space, particularly if you’re dealing with some not-so-nice looring or ugly carpet.
A nice big jute rug is a great way to create a minimalist and modern feel — choose one that goes from wall to wall for a new-carpet look without the cost or hassle.
Next, choose some smaller textiles like cushions, throws and curtains to top of your colour or decor scheme.
Updated curtains can also completely transform a space.
lightingYou’re probably not going to want to get
an electrician in to change the lighting in a rental, so you’re going to have to work with what you’ve got. However, there are plenty of options for personalising the lighting. Use oversized pendant lights and lampshades to add a feature to a room. If you’re dealing with poorly-placed lights or bad bulbs, add some lamps to give the space a warm feel.
shelvesShelves are the perfect way to create a
space that feels uniquely yours, and there are
lots of options for integrating shelves into rental spaces.
Floating shelves are lovely, but you may not be allowed to mess with the walls. If you are allowed to add the odd nail to the wall (ask irst!), hanging leather shelves have less impact on the wall than loating shelves, only requiring two small nails. Otherwise, use shelves that stand on the loor, like simple rectangular shelving or some shelves made from a ladder.
plantsTo me, a house isn’t a home without indoor
plants. And if your rental doesn’t have outdoor space, you’re going to want to bring the outdoors in. Hanging plants, big feature potted plants and smaller plants all add interest to your home without risking your bond. hey also do a great job of disguising ugly walls and loors.
basketsBaskets are another decor item that adds
texture to your space without too much colour or distraction. hey’re great for storage, making them functional as well as pretty. Baskets are perfect in spaces like the kitchen and laundry that require lots of diferent ways to store (aka cover up) items like food supplies and clothing, and they also make great planters.
aRtArt is often the cherry on top when it
comes to interior design, and even one or two inexpensive pieces can breathe life and uniqueness into a space. It can be a challenge to hang art in a rental space if you aren’t permitted to nail anything into the walls, but there are lots of options for displaying your art — place it on top of a cabinet or on a shelf, or lean larger pieces against a wall. here are also other options for hanging it — for lighter pieces, use 3M Command products that don’t leave a mark, or use Blu Tack to hang posters.
MiRRoRsI’ve often found that rental homes could do
with having a wall taken out to really open up a space, but that’s not likely to happen. One way to open up rooms without the huge expense of demolition is to lean some big mirrors against the walls. hey don’t need to be expensive. Look for large ones that really do feel as if you’ve inserted a door in the wall.
a few otheR ideas . . .If you’re looking to take the upgrades a
little bit further, painting is a great way to make a big change without knocking out a wall. Simply ask your landlord what they think, and know that often you will have to revert the space to original condition when you leave. Wall decals can be used to create the same efect. Another idea is to swap the knobs and hardware in the kitchen and bathroom.
Add style and individuality to your home with DIY, even when you’re renting . . .

Day 5 of our Larapinta trek began early — at 3am. As on the preceding mornings, but at a much more civilised hour, wakeup music
was broadcast over the sound system to gently rouse us from our super-comfy camp stretchers.
We had 30 minutes to dress, grab a hot drink and snacks from the camp kitchen and gather our things for the pre-dawn, 8km walk up Mt Sonder, to see the sunrise.
Mt Sonder (known as Rutjupma in the Aboriginal language), at 1380m is the fourth highest peak in the Northern Territory. It was formed from quartzite rock some 350 million years ago, and is the traditional start, or inish, to the Larapinta trail. Anticipation had been building up to this ‘peak’ experience all week. he forecast was for yet another perfect trekking day — cool, clear and calm.
A 10-minute bus ride over a very bumpy
track brought us to the start of the mountain trail at Redbank Gorge. Still dazed from the early start, we lurched from the bus, donned all our gear, and with one guide at the front and the other at the rear, crossed a dry river-bed and almost immediately started to climb.
Anyone who has walked in pitch darkness guided only by a headlamp will know what a surreal sensation it is. Even though I knew we were really only walking at a moderate pace, there was a gratifying illusion of speed created by the rapidly disappearing heels of the hiker ahead and the all-encompassing black void outside the beam of torchlight.
Later in bright sunshine on the way down the mountain we marvelled at how far and how steeply we had come, how narrow and alarmingly close to a steep face the track was, in places, and how seemingly easy our ascent had been.
Jan Clare continues her story about hiking Australia’s Larapinta Trail with her husband Rick . . .

As dawn approached — by then we’d been walking steadily uphill for nearly three hours — a tiny orange glow silhouetted the hills to our left, and with a rush of excitement I realised we were getting close to the summit. he sky on the horizon changed from deep purple to orange then a pale golden yellow. We passed the 7km marker, and the surrounding rocks and vegetation
materialised. Spurred on by the sound of voices ahead
and the thought of bliss balls and the thermos of cofee obligingly carried by our guides Cat and Matt, we inally emerged from the low-lying scrub onto the rocky plateau at the top of Mt Sonder.
Already a dozen or more people from other tours had congregated and were milling around, chatting and taking photos. hen, sipping on a very welcome hot drink, we momentarily fell silent to watch the sun rise, which was followed by whistles and cheers. he various hues and contours of the magniicent landscape below unfolded and we spent half an hour taking it all in.
After a brief sit down and a cafeine and sugar hit we were ready to go again. Now we could see the vast glory of the Australian Outback stretching far into the hazy distance.
By 11am we were all back safe and sound, although weary, at Camp Fearless. A couple of us were nursing sore knees but the rest were just a bit sleep-deprived. he lovely Shelby had stayed behind to cook us all a fabulous brunch including delicious barbecued courgette and haloumi fritters, which went down well with a couple of ciders.
here was nothing else for it but to sleep this of which most of us did, emerging later in the afternoon in time for pre-dinner
drinks. Around the campire we contentedly swapped stories, mindful that the next day was our last on the trek.
hat night was my inal chance to sleep under the stars having heard all week from our guides and some of the other trekkers how beautiful the night sky is so far away from the lights of civilisation.
Ignoring my husband’s teasing attempts
to put me of with jokes about creepy crawlies, I dragged my stretcher and swag just outside the tent, wearing every warm item of clothing I possessed. he velvet darkness descended and it became icy cold. he silence of the bush was profound and the constellations were just arm’s length away. It was very late by the time I inally closed my eyes to sleep.

Self-confessed socialist Bernie Sanders was Democratic frontrunner for the White House until a Super Tuesday
surge favoured Joe Biden, turning it into a two-horse race to challenge Donald Trump in November.
Sanders has huge grassroots support that has deied long-held, manipulated antipathy towards socialism in the United States.
Seventy years ago paranoia of a perceived Communist threat — a “Red Scare” — swept post-World War 2 USA. housands suspected of socialist/Communist leanings were rounded up and aggressively interrogated
by the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC).
Innocent citizens, actors, authors, civil rights activists, physicists and more were caught up in the McCarthy witch-hunts, which ceased in 1954 after Republican Senator Joseph McCarthy went before a hearing and was revealed as a vicious bully and liar, then discredited for contemptuous, reprehensible, inappropriate conduct.
he paranoia continued, though, and anti-Communism, anti-socialism sentiments remain strong in Western societies.
Yet Sanders promotes socialist policies of
economic rights, fair taxation, free healthcare, afordable housing, a living wage and strong environment policies — and has the best grassroots support of the party’s presidential candidates. Whatever is going on?
Recently I came across a 70-year-old Gisborne Herald editorial headed “Will Britain follow Dominions’ example?”
Dated December 13, 1949, the headline referred to Labour government election defeats that year in Australia and New Zealand. England, with a Labour government, had an election pending. Democratic socialism had been popular until then.
Part-way down the editorial is a sub-heading: Agreeable to Almost All.
hen: “Social security, full employment and a fair share for all, some of the objectives of the welfare state are agreeable to the whole nation. Few people will attack them as ideals.”
Your GH editorial also covered how Britain, hard-hit by WW2, was dependent on America’s aid and very vulnerable to her inluence; and a Labour politician’s words about the defence of British social services “against a small group of rich and unscrupulous Americans”.
he editorial question was answered when Labour under Clement Attlee won the British election in March 1950, ruling for a few years more. Maybe England’s Labour Party hung on because social security and free healthcare for all had been introduced recently, like New Zealand had 10 years earlier with our Labour Party’s comprehensive humanitarian policies.
Back then I was new to the workforce and a youth member of the NZ Labour Party; the fear tactics linking socialism to Communism were all go. Earlier in 1949 the strongly-worded “common ownership of the means of production, distribution and exchange” clause was scrapped from Labour’s manifesto.
But on the other side of the world, Britain’s Labour Party remained rigid on their party’s historic commitment to socialism — clause IV of its constitution — and remained so until 1995 when Labour leader Tony Blair inally scuttled this socialist-based foundation policy, joining forces with capitalism.
Recently the Brits have shown they aren’t yet ready to re-embrace socialism. Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn’s manifesto to bring back those 1940s values was rejected, and an even more extreme form of capitalism chosen by voters when the Conservative Party under Boris Johnson won the day in December.
Matching some of the facts of Blair’s “New Labour”, David Lange’s Labour won the 1984 election by a landslide. Roger Douglas became Finance Minister and unleashed capitalist-style legislation that swept aside the party’s socialist foundation. Deregulation and privatisation of public assets took place; workers’ rights were eroded, taxes on the wealthy were lowered, and inequality took of.
When your 70-year-old GH editorial appeared, socialism was common in many countries. But capitalists wanted it gone — hence the Red Scare propaganda.
Don’t believe the propaganda, please. Colins dictionary: Socialism’s “general
aim is to create a system in which everyone has an equal opportunity to beneit from a country’s wealth”. Capitalism “is an economic and political system in which property, business and industry are owned by private individuals not the state”.
Apart from being arch enemy to true socialism, the whole structure of capitalism is lawed. It is based on economic growth, driven to accumulate capital and extract proit. And without growth, it collapses. Yet perpetual growth on a inite planet leads to social and environmental calamity.
I began this column with Bernie Sanders’ socialist aspirations for the US, and inish with New Zealand’s pending elections.
Honestly, I reckon Labour has drifted too much towards capitalism to be socialist enough. However, in July 2017 Scoop News ran a story headline that National must rule out working with the socialist Greens.
We haven’t got a Sanders — our best chance is a Labour-Green Government, and that’s how I will vote in seven months.
