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.”

By Aaron Meredith

The Wainuiomata Summer Pools offi cially opened at the weekend, signalling warmer weather is well and truly on the way.

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 resident, Mike Grigg, alongside his son David and Hutt City Mayor Ray Wallace were invited to attend the function in Wellington.

World Autism Awareness Day is gener-ally celebrated on April 2, as a day to raise awareness of and educate people around the Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Disability Issues Minister, Nicky Wag-ner hosted the breakfast event.

On her website she said the breakfast was to celebrate the experience of New Zealanders with Autism and the diverse talents and skills people with Autism can bring to New Zealand society.

Students at Konini Pri-mary School recently had the opportunity to discover their passion.

The years 4 to 6 students took part in active learning on Monday when they chose workshops run by various organisations and parents in the school to take part in.

Workshops included learn-ing to plant, car maintenance and how to care for a dog.

Principal, Andrea Scanlan, said the school had an “ac-tive learning disposition” and this gave students the opportunity to be more in-volved and engaged with their learning.

She said it also provided students with the opportu-nity to discover how much

learning took place outside of the classroom.

Wainuiomata Warehouse Service Team Leader, Cris-siemarie Lightfoot, who ran a gardening workshop, said it was cool to see kids learning how to grow their own produce.

“Some of the kids wouldn’t know where beans came from,” she said.

Teacher, Kelly Layton, said it was “great [to get] parents, Wainuiomata and Wellington involved”.

Involvement from Wel-lington came in the form of workshops given by the MetService and Te Papa.

Andrea said in term two the students would undertake their own passion projects based on new interests they had discovered on Monday.Students discover how to check oil in a car

Passion projects for primary school

Continued from page 2Mike, a longtime advocate

for those with autism, said it was important to go to draw at-tention to those suffering from autism and educate others on how to treat them.

He said he thought there needed to be more education for the public on aspects of the disorder.

“There’s a lack of informa-tion about sensory overloads. There’s nothing really out there about adult Autism or meltdowns,” he said.

Mike said he hoped further education would lead to more empathy in the community.

“People don’t understand how sensitive people [with

autism] are. People don’t un-derstand how hard it is living with it,” he said.

After the function, Mayor Ray Wallace said having em-pathy for others was important.

“Tolerance and inclusion is incredibly important for every individual’s happiness, as well as for us all to be part of a healthy, happy society.

[Last week I wore] odd socks, which is an initiative of the New Zealand Federation of Multicultural Councils to remind us of the beauty of diversity.”

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

Long time Wainuiomata prac-titioners, Doctor Peter Raudnic and his wife, Margaret, retired from their clinic on Fitzherbert Street recently.

Nurse and practice manager of Fitzherbert Medical, Margaret, said the pair had been practicing in Wainuiomata for 34 years.

They started at a practice on Norfolk Street in 1982 and then moved to Fitzherbert Medical in 2000 where they practiced until the end of March, she said.

She said during their time in Wainuiomata they had treated several generations of families and her husband Peter had deliv-ered babies who went on to have babies of their own.

Margaret and Peter thanked the community of Wainuiomata for their support over the years.

“We would like to thank the large number of people who sent us and our staff messages of appreciation and gifts when we recently retired.

“We were quite overwhelmed by the kind thoughts and insights

into our time serving the com-munity here in Wainuiomata.

“We were made aware of the quality and generosity of our community and also the loyalty of families some of whom trav-elled some distance to attend our surgery.

“We wish you all well for the future.”

Margaret said she and Peter were looking forward to relaxing and taking the time out to do other things in their retirement.

“We’ll wait and see,” she said. Peter Raudnic at his desk be-fore retirement

Tina Hura said she was “overwhelmed” after being named ‘neighbour of the year’ at Wainuiomata’s third annual Good Neighbour Awards held earlier this week.

A group of around 20 - in-cluding Hutt City councillors, representatives from Neigh-bourhood Support, Hutt Safe City and the Wainuiomata Po-lice - gathered to celebrate the community of Wainuiomata at Monday night’s ceremony at Wainuiomata Memorial Hall.

Hutt Safe City Manager, Dawn McKinley, said the competition was “lovely”.

“It’s so good for the com-munity,” she said.

The award was presented by Hutt City Mayor, Ray Wallace, who said there had been 15 deserving nominees for the award.

He went on to praise the im-portance of Neighbourhood

Support within communities.“Neighbourhood Support is

so important, especially for a resilient community. [They] will be your allies in an emer-gency. A safe community is a livable community.”

He then praised Tina, who had been nominated by her neighbour, Jo Baker, for being “an all-round, ultimate lovely neighbour”.

He said Tina had coordi-nated neighbourhood support on her street. As well as this, she was a past member of community patrol, part of Hutt City Council’s Adopt-a Spot programme and the unofficial guardian of the Pukeatua bridge.

Tina said she was “over-whelmed” by her nomination.

“It’s just what I like doing. I like doing things for the community,” she said.

After fi nishing second place in last year’s Stage Challenge Wainuiomata High School are gearing up for this year’s event.

When asked by the Wainuiomata News what their plans and themes were for the 2016 NZ Stage Challenge, the team remained tight lipped, however year 12 student, Ruby Gardner, said it was a New Zealand theme.

“It’s quite relevant. A lot of people can relate to it,” she said.

This year the school has around 50 per-formers taking part in the challenge, which will take place on June 3 and 4.

The team said they would have a gold coin entry performance on May 25 at the Wainuiomata High School auditorium.

The student leaders involved with the

challenge told the Wainuiomata News for terms one and two Stage Challenge was their biggest priority.

“In Terms One and Two Stage Challenge is literally my life,” Ruby said.

Teacher, Reegan Stewart, said this was her fourth year leading the Stage Challenge team and she was proud of the leadership skills the students developed through being part of the team.

“From a teacher’s perspective these are all our top students, our best all-rounders,” she said.

The team is currently fundraising to make their performance the best it can be. They are asking for donations of old bed sheets in white, brown, blue or black and old gumboots. Donations can be given to the school offi ce.

In the lead up to Anzac day, members of the Wainuiomata RSA will be selling poppies along Queen St.

This Friday, April 15, marks the begin-ning of the RSA’s week long Poppy Appeal which will last until the Friday before Anzac Day.

President of the Wainuiomata RSA, Bart

Bartlett, said all the money raised from the appeal would go towards supporting retired veterans of all ages during times of diffi culty.

He said there would be people stationed at various points around the Wainuio-mata Shopping Centre and Queen Street on Poppy Day itself and local businesses would have Poppy boxes in the week fol-lowing Poppy Day.

Helping hand for returned servicemen

Did you know• The use of the poppy as a symbol of remembrance derives from the poppy being the first plant to re-emerge from the churned up soil on the soldier’s graves during World War I.• The fi rst Poppy Day in New Zealand was held the day before Anzac day

in 1922.• Since 2015 the poppy has been made in New Zealand after three years of being constructed in China and Australia. Before going to China the poppies had been New Zealand made for 83 years.

For the second time, Harcourts Wainuiomata is on the hunt for Wainuiomata’s ‘Unsung Hero’.

Manager at Harcourts Wainuio-mata, Lisa Black, said the Unsung Heroes awards were held annually at the Harcourts Offi ce, to show gratitude to a member of the com-munity who did something without reward.

“We wanted to concentrate on the really positive aspects of the people and spirit in Wainuiomata and what better way to do that, than to show some appreciation for the people who do great things for our

community?” she said.She said an ‘Unsung Hero’ could

be anyone who did something for their community.

“[It’s] something you’re just doing out of the kindness of your heart, something you’re not paid to do,” she said.

She said last year’s winner, Julie Day, was nominated for her heavy involvement with the Wainuiomata Tennis Club and the work she did for the junior members of the club.

Lisa said the reason Harcourts Wainuiomata decided to start the ‘Unsung Heroes’ campaign last year was to draw attention to “the fabulous people, generosity and

spirit of Wainuiomata”.“In a perfect world, we’d hope the

project encourages more and more people in the community to want to give back or… to think about that little something extra they could do for someone else,” she said.

Lisa said they also relished the opportunity to be able to give someone the prize of spending an indulgent weekend away. Do you know an ‘Unsung Hero’? Nominate someone via the ‘Wai-nuiomata’s Unsung Heroes’ Face-book page or contact Lisa Black at the Wainuiomata Harcourts Offi ce on Queen Street. Nominations close May 15.

In search of a hero

The Wainuiomata Choir has been practicing hard for their upcoming anniversary at the end of April.

Musical director, Sue Robinson said, “the choir has been hard at work over recent weeks preparing for the event.”

“With only just a couple of weeks to go until the concert, we aim to have a great programme lined up to present to our local community with works ranging from Handel to Leonard Cohen.

“The Wainuiomata Choir is one community group that has been

around for many years in the valley and wants to commemorate its 40 years featuring some of the marvel-lous music it has performed over the years,” she said.

The Wainuiomata choir began in December 1975 when a group of Wainuiomata residents gathered to sing Christmas carols.

They decided to convene a regular singing group and the choir was born under the baton of Musical Director (the late) John Knox, Maurie Faulknor as accompanist and (the late) Bill McCabe as Chair.

“Here we are 40 years later, still going strong with many concerts to our name, two original choir members still singing with us, and a variety of musical directors over the years,” Sue said. The Wainuiomata celebration concert will take place on Saturday 30 April at the Wainuiomata Little Theatre (old Wainuiomata College Hall) Moohan Steet at 7.30PM. Ticket prices are $20 Adult, $15 Seniors/students, $10 children. Tickets available from Choir mem-bers, on the night at the door or call Miriam on 04 589 7748.

Musical Director, Sue Robinson, leads members of the Wainuiomata Choir at a recent practice for their upcoming 40th anniversary celebration concert later this month.

Work on the Shared Path-way has continued as part of the Hutt City Council’s aim to have Wainuiomata and Lower Hutt connected in a safer, more consistent way for pedestrians and cyclists.

Hutt City Council senior project manager Simon Cager said “GHD has been working on the preliminary

design drawings for Stage 1 (Gracefield to Pukeatua Bridge). These are almost complete, pending approval by Council [and] the Stage 2 preliminary design is about 50 per cent complete.”

He said the fi rst geotechni-cal investigations for Stage Two and Stage One drilling for geotechnical investiga-

tions would be undertaken next week.

He said the council was looking to do more consulta-tion for Stage Two (the Pukea-tua summit to Wainuiomata side).

Council said ways for the public to provide feedback on the project would appear in coming months.

Wainuiomata Intermedi-ate School ended their Health Week last Friday with a special full school shared lunch and a mini-concert.

The Hutt Valley District Health Board sponsored free healthy lunches, which included a sand-wich, yoghurt and piece of fruit, for each child in support of the school’s commitment to being smokefree.

Students also had the chance to enjoy three

performances from fellow classmates before heading out into the sunshine to play some games.

The school’s Health Co-ordinator, Dahlia Mal-aeulu, said the school had been working with Smokefree and the Hutt Valley District Health Board throughout the week to teach the students about ‘Hauora’, or total wellbeing.

“Our overall topic was Hauora [and was] about personal identity. Kids get to know who they are,” she said.

Dahlia said total wellbe-ing meant the kids learnt about eating right and keeping fi t as well as about emotional wellbeing.

She said the students had been going on fi eld trips to the community hub and had a talk about life skills given to them by Youth Inspire.

She said the field trip was an opportunity for the students to see what was out there in the com-munity.

“There are things out there that can help them,” she said.

Wainuiomata High School will be saying goodbye to its Danish exchange student early next month.

Lukas Salamon, originally from Aarhus, Denmark, is currently in year 13 at the high school.

He has been in New Zea-land since July last year and a pupil at Wainuiomata High School the whole time.

Refl ecting on his visit to New Zealand, he said he had enjoyed his time at Wainuio-mata High School.

“People here are extremely friendly, really open,” he said.

He said his favourite new experience in New Zealand had been the meat pie.

“We don’t have any pies [back home]. I do love your pies,” Lukas said.

Lukas said during his time in New Zealand he had been around the South Island and to Rotorua.

He said he hoped to come back to New Zealand one day.

“I need to study and fi nish school fi rst. But I do hope to come back,” Lukas said.

Exchange student farewell

International Student Dean, Virginia Wilson, said the school had students come

from Europe once a year and at this stage they were unsure if they would get anymore.

Lukas said he has enjoyed his time in New Zealand

Wainuiomata’s Stroke Club fundraised for the Central Region Stroke Foundation last Friday around the town centre.

The club had three stalls- one in the mall, Countdown and outside Clive’s Chemist.

Club secretary, Noeline Colman, said Clive had been lovely and looked after those raising money outside his pharmacy very well.

Noeline said the Stroke Club raised just under $650, which she called a “great success”.

“Considering people don’t often carry cash these days we were quite pleased. People gave generously,” she said.

One of the collectors was Chris van Dalen, a stroke survivor who recently

won an award for his improvement fol-lowing a serious stroke.

Noeline said it was “very nice of him” to help raise the money. The Stroke Club meets on the fi rst and third Thursday of every month at the Fire Station.

Things went from sunny to bleak when Jordan put two balls in Rae’s Creek.

Jordan Spieth’s implosion on the 12th at Augusta during the fi nal round of the US Masters Golf tournament shows noth-ing is predictable in sport.

The 22-year-old Texan had led from start to fi nish in 2015 and looked set to do the same this year until his meltdown at the par three 12th saw him shoot a quadruple bogey 7.

In the space of the fi rst three holes on the back nine he’d dropped six shots and gone from fi rst to fourth.

Spieth did show some fi ght after the horror show to fi nish second but with his swing failing him, his confident demeanour would have taken a lashing.

His misfortune created a great sports story for the even-tual winner Danny Willett.

The little known English-man and World No 12 wore

a green polo and traded up to the famed green winners jacket.

Ironically, he had become a father for the fi rst time just eight days prior to the fi rst round.

The due date was meant to be the same day as the fi nal round and Willett had stated he wouldn’t play the tourna-ment if his son was due to be born.

His fi nal round fi ve under 67 was the second best round for the week and he became a deserved champion.

Perhaps the ultimate frustra-tion for Spieth would have been doing the traditional green jacket presentation he had to make to Willet because he was the previous year’s champion.

That’s sport though.No scripts, no templates and

nothing is ever certain.Just ask Danny Willett and

Jordan Spieth.

Three hockey players from Wainuiomata were selected to take part in the Affi liates Tour-nament as part of the Festival of Hockey in the Hawkes Bay last week.

Wainuiomata Hockey Club President, Whitney Morgan said she was very excited about her late selection after being pulled into the NZ Maori Womens team a fortnight out from the tournament.

"It was an amazing experience playing alongside such talented Maori women," she said.

Whitney played goalie for the Affi liates Tournament and

finished with Bronze medals after placing 3rd.

Janine Smith also represented the club in the NZ 35's Womens team, Janine played a strong tournament and her team placed 6th.

Wainuiomata resident Des-mond “Cougar” Taumata was also selected to play for the NZ 35's Men’s Team.

"It was an eye opener for me, and a whole new level for play-ing hockey at, " he said.

He said the highlight for him was playing against the NZ Maori Team, who he scored against in the game.

The fi nal score of the game was 5-3 to NZ Maori.

The NZ 35's men's team placed 7th at the Affi liates Tournament.

Whitney and Janine made it back from the tournament for their Wainuiomata Club Premier 3 game on Saturday afternoon.

Wainuiomata played Naenae and won 3-1.

The goals were scored by Kirsten O'Donnell, Navada Blake and Janine Smith.

The Reserve 3 team played Kapiti on Sunday morning and lost 2-1.

Zara-May Blake scored the team’s fi rst goal of the season.

Hannah Clarke, a member of the Hutt Valley van Guard, said this was the fi rst co-op club in the Greater Welling-ton Region.

The team practices twice a week, once at Wainuiomata High School and once at the Walter Nash Centre in Taita.

Hannah said they wanted the team to be accessible to those in Lower Hutt and the two locations were chosen to be inclusive to as many peo-ple in the valley as possible.

“We’re thrilled to be doing it in the Hutt. We have a re-

ally strong inclusion policy,” she said.

She said their first game would take place against the West Coast Bombers in Levin on April 17.

Hannah said the group welcomed all new members and would loan gear to who-ever may need it for training, provided they gave them notice fi rst.

Hannah, who also goes by the pseudonym ‘Lolo Morales’ said pseudonyms were common in roller derby but not necessary to have in order to join.

“Names aren’t compulsory. I think you spend just as much time coming up with a pseudonym as it does getting your first skates,” Hannah said.
