SpeedlimitsBuses and Parking major problem for child care centres

By Aaron Meredith

Speeding buses and a lack of parking are two of the problems facing teachers, parents and children in early childhood centres in Wainuiomata.

There is little to no road signs outside of many centres in the valley warning drivers to slow down.

Jack and Jill Kindergarten has been fi ghting with New Zealand Buses for many years, fi nally asking Hutt South MP Trevor

Mallard for help.It is only since he got involved

the bus company has responded.The kindergarten has two signs

warning drivers of the centre, but these were only put up after a child was hit by a car a few years back.

“It is only a matter of time before someone gets hit again.” says head teacher Chris Moses.

“I understand the drivers are on a schedule, but they are going so fast.”

Last Saturday close to 800 locals took advantage of the pool’s annual open day and as part of the celebration, entry was free.

As always the hydro slide proved to be a popular attrac-tion, with children and adults alike taking the fast ride which weaves its way through the surrounding native bush.

Wainuiomata High School’s top athletes were recognised for their achievements throughout the year at last week’s sports awards.

Awards were handed out to ath-letes in all sports, many of whom have represented Wellington and New Zealand.

Sportsman of the year was given to Raymond Seumanu for his achievements in boxing, winning multiple national titles as well as the Australian Golden Gloves.

He became one of the youngest winners of the award.

The sportswomen of the year award was awarded to Sieni Samau for her achievements in a wide range of sports.

Sieni was also the top player in volleyball, girls rugby, was the top scorer in football, was the best back in league, played for Wainuiomata in club rugby and league, going on to represent Wellington in both sports.

On top of that Sieni was also selected for the New Zealand rugby league Kiwi Ferns side to play Australia next year

The MC, Phillip Kauika who

says that the school has achieved to a high standard this year in all sports.

“Many teams have made fi nals, won championships or have represented the school at regional tournaments.”

Teams who won their grades included the girls cricket team, the football fi rst XI, teams two and three in netball, the boys fi rst xv in rugby and the junior boys league team.

This year was also the fi rst year that Ignite Sports presented two special awards, both recognising character in an athlete and coach.

Trust co-ordinator Kevin Goldsbury says that the awards are given to those that embodied Ignite Sport’s values.

“Despite the attention that poor behaviour and bad sportsman-ship attracts, there are great examples of athletes who demon-strate positive character in sport and coaches who effectively model it,” Kevin says.

This year’s winners were Paa Mailangi who won the character athlete award and Ngaire Blake who won the character coach award.

Both showed great passion for

Sporting achievements recognised

their sports and teams, helping their teams achieve their best.

Kalena Hura was also recog-nised by the school, receiving the principals award after 20 years’ service to school netball.

Other award winners were Stephen Graham, Joel Carman, Atiria Semmens, Jade Hum-

phrey and Brooke Tauaneai.School Principal Martin Isberg

says he was not surprised by the achievements of the students this year.

“We have spent the last three or four years changing the culture of the school, and the results this year are recognition of this.”

One sure sign of summer arriving is the call of the shin-ing cuckoo, a series of upward notes followed by one or more long downward slurring notes. The birds have come back to New Zealand to breed after wintering over in the Solomon Islands. They can be heard calling from forest, scrub and farmland, which are also the habitats of their host birds, the grey warbler. Like cuckoos around the world the shining cuckoo lays its eggs in another bird’s nest.

Also called the bronze shining cuckoo, scientifi c name Chryso-coccyx lucidas, or in Maori the Pipi�Wharauroa, this sparrow-sized bird is usually not seen due to its cryptic markings and its size. It’s New Zealand’s only iridescent green bird and has green and white bands across its chest. The shining cuckoo lives on grubs and insects, including hairy caterpillars and ladybirds that other birds avoid.

It lays a single egg in the nest of a laying grey warbler, and the chick when it hatches ejects

the warbler eggs and chicks. The host then seems not to notice it’s parenting another species and continues to raise the chick. Fortunately for the grey warbler species, it has usually already raised a brood in August/September before the cuckoo arrives back in New Zealand.

A few years ago we heard a sound from the bush that could have been a bird or an insect, but even with the neighbours’ help we couldn’t fi nd what it was coming from. One day

however, I heard it in the beech tree outside the window, and looked out to see the cuckoo chick flitting from branch to twig noisily demanding food from a smaller and very busy grey warbler.

The two major threats to the shining cuckoo are fl ying into windows and being taken by cats. You can hear its call and learn more about it here. www.radionz.co.nz/nation-al/programmes/thiswayup/collections/birdwatching/shiningcuckoo

Continued from page 1Rawiri said the international

group looks at a lot of policies surrounding HIV and AIDS from the United Nations and the board is committed to helping people with HIV and AIDS have “access to good treatment across the world”.

Rawiri said it was a privilege to be nominated for this “pres-tigious appointment”.

He said he was most looking forward to being involved with “policy development at quite a high level,” and “ensuring strate-gies are in place to reach what the group was trying to achieve.”

He said he is now a “fully fl edged” member of the board

and attended his fi rst board meet-ing via Skype a few weeks ago.

The group meets in person once a year.

Rawiri said this year the meet-ing will be in South Africa and will tie in with the International AIDS conference in the same location in July.

Rawiri’s interest in HIV and AIDs work came from his pre-vious work in the drugs and alcohol sector.

He is keen to spread knowledge of the issues around HIV and AIDS and stop the stigma sur-rounding the illnesses.

“It’s fascinating… it’s not something you can walk away from.”

“Prestigious appointment” for local

Development Wainuiomata hosted its annual business breakfast late last month.

The group hosts a cooked breakfast at Louise Bilderbeck Hall once a month and invites

a quality speaker of interest to business people and community members, to attend.

Around 40 people attended February’s business breakfast and were inspired by speaker

Mani Malaeulu speaks to attendees of the Development Wainuio-mata business breakfast

Mani Malaeulu speaking on ‘‘helping the youth of Wai-nuiomata to become the best version of themselves through mentoring and enabling”.

Mani joined Key Skills Re-cruitment Agency to work with young job seekers a year ago af-ter managing the Wainuiomata offi ce of Baywide Credit Union.

He said he worked with the Futures programme at Wai-nuiomata High School and created Beyond Futures to take school leavers to a new level of self-development and work skills.

Mani’s key messages were to know yourself, be yourself and back yourself.

“These principles apply to anyone, who can use their strengths to help someone else

or the community”, he said.President of Development

Wainuiomata, Margaret Wil-lard said it was gratifying to see the growing numbers of people attending the business breakfast and the connections made in the community.

“From the buzz in the room it’s clear there’s a lot of energy for positive growth in the valley, and it’s terrifi c that Develop-ment Wainuiomata is playing an active part in it”, she said.

She said there were plans afoot for membership deals, with further opportunities for local business benefi ts.

The head teacher of Arakura Kindergarten will be leaving in coming weeks to take up a head teaching job at Taita Kindergarten.

Kaye Goodall has been with Arakura Kindergarten for six years.

During this time the kinder-garten has been awarded their Gold Healthy Heart Award for promoting healthy living in families and they are currently working towards their Bronze Enviroschools award.

Her infl uence has also seen the kindergarten work towards remodeling its playground, opt-ing for a more naturalistic look.

“The kids will be able to use the playground in much more versatile ways,” Kaye said.

Kaye said she has enjoyed her time at Arakura and was sad to leave.

She said the biggest highlight for her has been “how accepting and welcoming the community is”.

“The families really care,” she said.

Of her move to Taita, Kaye said she was looking forward to “building a team that’s really strong”.

“[I want to build] a really high quality learning environment; one that kids are free to explore and cement their own space.”

Arakura kindergarten will be having a farewell afternoon tea for Kaye on Thursday.

Kaye said the idea was lovely. “It’s been an amazing journey

here. It’s a fantastic kindy. The team are fantastic here.”

A local business owner believes wasp season is reaching its peak and is offer-ing Wainuiomata residents the chance to eradicate their homes of the pests.

A wasp nest Paul Chapman has discovered. PHOTO: Supplied.

Business helps rid homes of waspsPaul Chapman, Director of Pestproof

Pest Control, is offering Wainuiomata residents at residential lots in urban areas 15 per cent off his regular price to get rid of their wasp nests.

Paul said wasps were the biggest pest problem at this time of year and he received around eight calls regarding them a day.

If new wasp nests are discovered six months after he has disposed of them he will get rid of them for free, he said.

He said Wainuiomata residents should choose to go with him as not only will they save money; it’s better for the environment and cheaper for the competition as they won’t have to spend money on petrol by driving over the hill.

Paul also relocates bumble bee nests

from people’s homes.He recommended residents to “leave

bumble bees alone if they can” as they do not sting as often as wasps and they are good for the environment.

“However sometimes people have to have them go, he said”

In this case Paul said he tries to re-locate the bumble bee nests and keeps them at his home or gives them to others to pollinate their gardens.

He also relocates honey bee swarms for free or fi nds a local beekeeper to do so.

While wasps are the biggest problem for summer, Paul said he also deals with “ants, rats, mice, fl eas roaches and bed bugs.”

“This time of year we get everything.”

For more information contact Paul on 04 589 2101 or 021 755 085.

Hutt kids love their books this summerOver 600 children took part in Hutt City Libraries’ Big Read programme, reading more than 3800 books over summer. As part of the programme over 870 challenges were completed. Hutt City Libraries Manager Sandra Mann said, “Feedback from families has been fantastic. Parents have said they appreciate their children having something to do in the Hutt over sum-mer. We’ve also had lots of families pleased kids can take the books with them on holidays. Kids have excitedly emailed us about their reading while tramping on Stewart Island and hang-ing out in Rotorua.”

Wainuiomata’s Futures pro-gramme is looking for support as they kick off for the year.

Run by Bill Sharpe the programme is dedicated to growing young men into good athletes and great people.

It is now in its tenth year and currently has around 20 to 25 boys participating.

Bill said the programme had the boys “train for an hour, have a cooked breakfast, do the washing up then talk about life skills before school”.

“It’s a programme that’s evolving,” he said.

The boys often join the pro-gramme for sports training, however, Bill said the more important aspect of the Futures was to change the boys’ at-titudes towards life.

“I’m not trying to make you a better sports man; I’m trying to make you a better person,” he said.

National list MP based in Hutt South, Chris Bishop, is a

supporter of the programme.He has been to see the train-

ing and believes its “obvious the difference it’s making in [the boys] lives”.

“Common to all of them was the determination and enthusi-asm… it’s a great programme we need more programmes like it.”

Chris and Bill are looking to the community to support the programme - which is in desperate need of funds for the boys’ breakfasts.

They are grateful to Clive Cannons the Chemist for helping fund some aspects of the programme and to the Wainuiomata Rugby League Club for supporting them.

Chris has also made a dona-tion to help the group start back up for the year, however, said the group needs some-thing more sustainable.

“The programmes run off the smell of an oily rag,” Chris said.

Bill agreed. “Every little bit of funds help,” he said.

The Wainuiomata C.O.R.D. group celebrated their birth-day last week with a special meeting and afternoon tea.

The C.O.R.D. group is a support group for people with breathing problems.

They meet in the Com-munity Centre once a month and have special talks from various groups around the region.

This month they had a talk from Alan Shaw, Hutt Hos-pital respiratory nurse, who spoke about breathlessness.

Group coordinator, Gene-vieve Young, said the group was happy to be in the posi-tion to present a cheque to the volunteer fi re brigade to assist them with the “valu-able work” they do for the community.

The group finished their celebrations with an afternoon tea provided for by various members of the group.

Patsy Manu, the group sec-retary and treasurer, cut the birthday cake.

She said she really enjoyed the birthday.

“It was terrifi c”, Patsy said.

The C.O.R.D. group started in Wainuiomata in 1994.

Genevieve said the group was originally based in the Parkway Community House but has been based at the Wainuiomata Community centre “for many years now.”

“The community centre has been very good to us.” Genevieve said.

It has 20 people on the mem-bers list.

Genevieve said she enjoys the meetings with the group.

“They’re great people here… wonderful people. They really support each other”

There will be a youth talent festival taking place in Wainuio-mata next Saturday.

Wainuiomata youth group, the Hashtags, will be hosting the “Get Your Talent On” youth talent festival at the Queen Street Reserve on Saturday March 19.

Group member, Kazmia Mor-gan-Rako, described the event as a “youth day where you can share your talents.”

Group facilitator Te Puea Mor-gan said it was open to any talent “from crafts to singing to… instruments” and the event will be a chance for youth to see what

is happening in the valley. She said many youth focused

groups in Wainuiomata will be in attendance including the Girl Guides and Scouts.

There will also be a perfor-mance by Wainuiomata High School’s Stage Challenge group, she said.

While the group said the event is not a quest or competition they hope to give out spot prizes to participants and are looking for sponsors to be able to do so.

The Hashtags have been in-volved in the community for some time and have participated in Smokefree Cars campaigns around Wainuiomata.

They said hope the day will be a chance for people in the community to meet.

One member, Vicki Krech, said the event would be “like a huge community bonding day.”

Ruby Gardner added the day would include “different peo-ple from different cultures” and would “include everyone together”.

Register for the “Come Get Your Talent On” by March 11 at the Wainuiomata Community Library or the Community HubFor more information contact Te Puea Morgan on 0210487238

Hutt City Health Centre (HCHC) will be taking over the premises and patient care at Fitzherbert Road Medical this Easter.

The changeover comes after the retirement of current practition-ers Dr. Peter Raudnic and his wife, nurse and practice manager Maureen Raudnic.

The pair have serviced the Wai-nuiomata community for many years and opened the Fitzherbert Medical in 1991.

HCHC will be moving their premise at The Strand to the Raudnic’s Fitzherbert Road loca-tion and will obtain their patients.

The new location will be a combined practice for the current

patients at Fitzherbert Medical and the patients at HCHC’s cur-rent Wainuiomata location.

HCHC was established by Dr Philip Harrison in central Lower Hutt in 2009.

Since then it has expanded to it’s premises in Raroa Road and took over Strandcare in Wainuiomata in 2013.

“HCHC is committed to pro-viding high quality health care to patients throughout the Hutt Valley, we believe in maintaining primary care services in Wainuio-mata”, said Dr Harrison.

There will be two doctors and two nurses on site each day at the new practice.

Patients will benefi t from walk in clinics where acute medical problems are seen without an appointment.

All patients enrolled with HCHC can elect to visit their GP at the Raroa Road premise in Lower Hutt, ensuring convenient access to medical attention for Wainuiomata residents that work in central Lower Hutt.

“Wainuiomata has a warm, distinctive and special feel to it, and our team love working here. While we are all very sorry to see the Raudnic’s retire, we look forward to expanding our care to residents of the area”, said Dr Harrison.

LETTERS to the editor

Dear Ed, As many residents are aware some years ago local artist(s) did a fantastic mural on the outside of derelict shops in the Village, depicting Tana Umaga and Piri Weepu. At the time many of us held our collective breath in case our local scally-wags (for want of a better name)

defaced it with graffi ti but thank-fully they never have. Therefore I was absolutely incensed to see that our "Do Gooders" in the form of the "Save TPPA" committee have seen fi t to paste one of their notices on this wall - how dare they? I assume these people are an organised group and would

suggest therefore that their leader needs to ensure that the perpetra-tor is suitable chastised and then sent down to immediately remove this notice, hopefully without further damage to the mural. Shame on you.

Pencarrow Kindergarten hosted their annual umu last Friday.

Head teacher Dawn Summers described the day as “full on” and said the day “went really well”.

“There was an abundance of food,” she said.

The umu fi res were started at 6.30am and narrowly avoided being caught in the current fi re ban across Hutt City, that began at 8am the same morning.

“We were very lucky,” Dawn said.

The kindergarten was also lucky to have their umu on a sunny day and the children were able to enjoy eating their lunch outside, she said.

Dawn said roughly 70 people attended on the day.

This is the kindergarten’s fourth annual umu and is one of their events hosted to celebrate the diversity of the cultures present at Pencarrow Kindergarten.

The umu in particular cel-ebrates the Samoan culture.

Kindergarten staff said it was the perfect opportunity for par-ents, grandparents and past parents to pass their knowledge down to the younger generation.

Two Wainuiomata High School Stu-dents will be going on an exchange to Arizona in July.

Wainuiomata High School Head Girl, Ariana Randall, and Student Leader Krishna McQueen are tak-ing part in the Hutt City Council’s Tempe Exchange Programme. Tempe is Lower Hutt’s sister city.

Joining them is Hutt Valley High School student Taylor Snow.

Krishna said she was excited when she found out she had been admitted to the programme.

“I cried. I was so excited. Even my mum cried,” she said.

Krishna said she is most looking forward to the opportunity to experi-ence the culture, see how everything works and meet people from around the world.

Ariana said she was looking for-ward to seeing how different the lifestyles of Arizona and Lower Hutt are and hopes this trip will “inspire

more travel in the future”. As part of the programme the

students will each have an exchange student to show around New Zealand for fi ve weeks. They have not met the people they will exchange with yet.

They will then spend fi ve weeks in America with their exchange partner, arriving in the city of Tempe in time for the Fourth of July.

The three will have the chance to go to Disneyland and will experience a day of American schooling as part of their fi ve week expedition.

While the Hutt City Council have helped the trio signifi cantly with their trip they have also had to fundraise themselves.

Fundraising efforts so far include cleaning and doing security for the stadium, gardening for businesses and hosting sausage sizzles and garage sales.

The students said there would be more sausage sizzles coming up should the community wish to donate to the trip. Taylor Snow, Ariana Randall and Krishna McQueen pose with the Tempe City fl ag.

The Wainuiomata Warehouse and Wainuiomata High School have banded together to help youth learn valuable skills in customer service.

As part of Wainuiomata High School’s Vocational Pathway learning, four stu-dents are currently working at the Warehouse once a week.

School Gateway Broker, Liz Goldswor-thy, said it was a chance for the girls to “put retail theory that they are learning in school into practice”.

Students Shawnie-Lee Ryder, Andraya Valster, Lavaea Lia and Haylee Ander-son, will be at The Warehouse for another 10 weeks.

One of the Warehouse Service Team Leaders, Crissie Lightfoot, said the girls had all been “amazing” so far and the team has been “really enjoying having them here”.

The girls have only just started their work with The Warehouse yet already

have learnt about hazards, recovery, store standards and how to provide excellent customer service.

Crissie said the students were treated as employees while carrying out work experience.

“We treat them like we treat our team,” Crissie said.

The students have been enjoying their opportunity so far.

Shawnie-Lee, said it had so far, been “real fun”.

“I’ve learned so much today in just a few hours.”

The Warehouse Wainuiomata and Wainuiomata High School have been in partnership through the Gateway programme for 18 months.

Crissie believed it was an important partnership because it gave students the opportunity to start in the employment sector and gain important skills.

She said she hoped the girls would take away confi dence from their time at The Warehouse.

Wainuiomata High School students took part in Community Service days last month.

From February 22 to 26, year 9 stu-dents had three days of Aspire Camp followed by two days of community service.

The boys and girls took part in the community service separately.

Community service undertaken by students included cleaning up rubbish in the area, hosting a bake sale at the

Wainuiomata Shopping Centre and baking scones and cookies for residents at the Woburn Masonic Home in Lower Hutt.

Students also took part in “Spreading Summer Colour” by creating smiling seed pots they would later give to homes surrounding the school, as thanks for being part of the Wainuio-mata High School neighbourhood.

Deputy principal Janette Melrose said the week went “really well” and the students did some “really good things for their community”.

Students dressed up as ghosts and gob-

In this photo, teacher Anthony Kleinjan and students Ruby Keomary, Sophie Neary, Lily Carr and Prashvi Shankar show off their costumes.

Late last month the Wainuiomata Tennis Club celebrated its annual Family Fun Tournament.

The Club hosts this family tour-nament every year and invites its junior members to play games with their family members.

At the end of the day two cups are awarded to the top family doubles teams in both of the junior sections the Dulux Cup for the fi ve to nine-year-olds and the Hall Cup for 10

to 14-year-olds. This year the winners of the Hall

cup were Elesha and Adam Smith. The runners up were Katie and Joe Easthope.

The winners of the Dulux Cup were Jayden and Mike Fryer. The runners up were Nicole Foskett-Hay and Jae Lee Stapp.

Wainuiomata Junior Tennis Con-vener Julie Day said “the courts were full the whole time” the tournament took place.

“We couldn’t have got a better

day,” she said. • Junior Tennis is still running and

will continue in to autumn. The younger juniors play on Wednesday evenings and older juniors on Tuesday evenings.

• The tennis club hosts a club night every Thursday evening for mem-bers and non-members to play. The evenings cost $5 for non-members of the club.

The best sports story so far has been Leicester's English Premier League title tilt.Twelve months ago, they were facing relegation from the top � ight of English football - now they have a two point lead with 11 games remaining in the season. It is still a tough order to see the Foxes winning it all.This competition is not like Super Rugby, the NRL, or even most major American sports leagues.The EPL has teams of massive wealth playing against teams who are delighted to survive another year in the competi-tion.There are no salary caps, no evening out the playing � eld � nancially.For example, when Leicester played Chelsea in December, their team, including sub-stitutes, cost £50.6 million compared to Chelsea's £292 million.Leicester's league leading striker Jeremy Vardy is being paid £1 million this season and

he's competing against play-ers earning £30-40 million.Leicester manager Claudio Ranieri purchased his whole team pizzas after their first clean sheet of the season against Crystal Palace.Former manager Nigel Pear-son deserves a lot of credit for making it happen as well.It was his skill that kept The Foxes in the EPL after they looked likely to be relegated this time last year.Current owners, the Srivad-dhanaprabha family, had their surname bestowed upon them by the King of Thailand.The family also � ew in Bud-dhist monks to bless the team prior to a victory over Man-chester United.This is a grassroots story that you couldn't script in Hol-lywood.Only sport could throw up such unforeseen theatre.Leicester's title run even has fans of other teams hoping they'll go all the way, includ-ing this Manchester United supporter.

Pizza, prayers and the premier league

The Micro-TriAbility Triathlon took place last Friday and served as an introduction to multi-sports and triathlon for people of all abilities.

The Hutt Valley Disabled Re-sources Trust (HVDRT) TriAbility Triathlon is an event that supports people with physical, intellectual, developmental, neurological and sensory disabilities.

It is run by the HVDRT in part-nership with Sport Wainuiomata Inc (SWI).

Event manager, Charlie Holland, emphasised it is not just an event for disabled people, but for all abilities allowing experienced, social and aspiring triathletes to compete side-by-side as part of a larger social change campaign to shift attitudes and change behaviours towards disabled people within our communities.

Hutt City Mayor Ray Wallace opened the event and wished eve-ryone well in the start of their triathlon journeys.

Participant, Norah Carr, had fun at the event.

“…Triathlon isn’t something I had really thought about getting into; I

just thought it would be a fun com-munity event to do… I can’t wait to do more”, she said.

HVDRT and SWI have already started planning another Micro-Triathlon for later this year and hope to see more community

members come and give triathlon a try and experienced triathletes come and share their knowledge and support in these inclusive com-munity events. For more information visit www.triabilitytriathon.com.
