“For a small club, we shout loud.”

By Aaron Meredith

MP Trevor Mallard visited the trainers and dog owners at the Wainuiomata Dog Training Club on Monday night and was impressed with what he saw.

Trevor visited the club to fi nd out what they are offering to local dog owners, and see some of the dogs in action as well.

“It looks like a really good organisation here,” he says.Trevor is very much a dog lover having two Australian Shep-

pard Dogs, aged fi ve and one.“I have had dogs on and off for forty years,” Trevor says.

Trevor was talked to by Stephen and Irma Harris, who described the history of the dog club, and what courses they run.

The Wainuiomata Dog Club had their fi rst meeting in 1976.

During their history the club has been represented quite well in the dog world.

“For a small club, we shout

loud,” Stephen jokes.At a recent event, dogs

from the club won 5 rib-bons competing against dogs from many other clubs around the region.

The club also has a pres-ence nationally, with mem-ber Barry Monaghan, who has and still judges at dog shows around the country.

He is also a life member

of the New Zealand Kennel Club, the authority of all things dog in the country.

Barry was one of the peo-ple that have been involved in the club form day one, and along with Stephen and Irma have seen it move from its original area at the Wai-nuiomata Mall, to Fernlea School to its current location in Burden Ave.

“We are very proud of what we have achieved over our time,” says Stephen.

He says that the percent-age of people that go on to compete are really small, and that everyone has their own reasons to come down, and the club caters to that.

“While our courses look quite structured, we do have to be quite fl exible.”

Wellington Community Trust supported more than 100 organi-sations last year

Over the last year, more than 100 organisations and projects all over the Wellington region received donations from the Wellington Community Trust.

This is a 10 per cent increase over the previous year. Further information about the Trust’s initiatives will be revealed at a public meeting at Old St Paul’s on 1 July, when the 2014-2015

Annual Report will be pre-sented.

Anyone wishing to attend is invited to email [email protected] for further details.

The Trust supports commu-nity initiatives that celebrate and sustain artistic, cultural, welfare, environmental, heritage and sporting activities in the Wellington region.

The range of organisations that received funding in the last fi nancial year is diverse in

size, reach and interest from the Wainuiomata Pioneer Church Preservation Society to Commu-nity Law; and from CubaDupa to the Get Kids Active Charita-ble Trust.

The meeting on July 1 will also include announcements about the available funding for 2015-2016, and a new initiative aimed at organisations that make a positive impact in the region by supporting social needs.

Chair of the Trust, Jan Dow-

land comments, “We have always been particularly chal-lenged by the huge and increas-ing demands for funds from community-based health and welfare organisations,” she says

“Emerging research suggests a more pro-active and targeted approach to grant-making is required to make an impact when addressing complex social problems, and we are developing ways to address this through our granting programme.”

inbriefnewsAGM Coming up

By Aaron Meredith

The Pet Pillow was awarded the top prize at Wainuiomata High Schools MaiBiz event, and this was just one of many ideas that students came up with.

MaiBiz is a three day course that travels around to schools, giving students a chance to be-come their own entrepreneurs, and design their own possible business.

The program was bought to the school by Mark Douglas and Moana Tamaariki-Pohe, who both agree that the school children had some great ideas.

“The idea is to inspire them about their potential for the future, and show them that go-ing into business is not boring at all,” says Mark.

“We bring in judges who give them feedback, which really is all about gearing them up for applying for university, where they may have to have an interview to get in.”

The program travels all around the country, to about 20-24 schools, and this is the third year that it has hit Wainuiomata High School.

WINNERS: Makoare Delves, Simon Appeh, Tumanako White-Rolleston, Jake McKechnie, Maya Ishizumi and Emily Tagaloa won the MaiBiz programme after designing the Pet Pillow.

MaiBiz brings out the genius at Wainuiomata High

The students really enjoy the programme as well, saying that it was great to get out of the classroom, while learn-ing something different with people they don’t usually spend time with around school.

The program also leads on

to a bigger program, Te Wero Pakihi, where the top students from around the country have a fi ve day program up in Auck-land that is very much like the programme The Apprentice.

The students work with actual businesses while participating

in Te Wero Pakihi, all of which is intended to help the students grow.

The winning group at the High School this year created the Pet Pillow, which has built in speakers that play music that is intended to calm pets.

Last Wednesday, the Wainuio-mata High School 1st XV got a rare chance to play against some senior competition.

The team played against the Wellington Police Rugby Team, the fi rst fi xture of its kind, and both teams were nervous at the start of the game.

The Police scored fi rst after a push over try, but Wainuiomata responded well with a couple of

tries of their own, although one was quite lucky.

With only a minute to go the Police had the lead, that was until Wainuiomata fullback Michael Martin sliced through the Police defence, then out-paced the cover to score the winning try.

The final score was 31-26 to the High School, although everyone at the game agreed it was one of the games of the season.

Wellington Police Rugby Coordinator Constable Ste-phen Cross says that the game provided a great opportunity to build relationships through sports with the students.

“And for young people to look past the blue uniform and see that police offi cers are people just like them," he says.

One of the highlights for the students was the opportunity to play with their coaches, and As-sistant Principal Phillip Kauika

says the boys were delighted to come away with the win.

“Many of the boys are being hailed as heroes throughout the school,” he says.

“I’m sure our boys have devel-oped a lot more respect for the men and women who wear the uniform from playing the match yesterday."

The game was such a success that plans are already in place to make the fi xture an annual event.

High School side defeats Wellington Cops

On Friday Night comedians from all around the region combined their comedic forces to raise money for Wainuiomata baby Mila Gardiner.

The night was organised by Neville Isherwood, who de-cided that he wanted to help out as much as he could, so put together the comedy night.

The headline act was na-tionally renowned Michèle A’Court, who fl ew down from Auckland just to take part in the show.

All money that was raised during the night was donated to Nathan and Melanie Gar-diner, who are raising money to get their daughter over to the United States for life changing surgery.

Mila suffers from a rare strand of Cerebral Palsy, Spastic Quadriplegia, which affects her body by making it stiffen

up when she gets emotional, tired or excited.

This even makes it diffi cult to eat, with Mila’s tongue stiffen-ing up when she is enjoying the taste of food.

“Every child deserves the right to grow up not in pain, and able to enjoy life to the fullest,” says Neville.

The MC for the night was Vaughan King, who along with all of the comedians, kept the crowd in fi ts of laughter all night.

Nathan and Melanie spoke to the crowd after the show and thanked everyone involved for taking part in the show.

“It was awesome, we really appreciate what everyone has done,” Nathan says.

Raffl e tickets were also sold, with prizes being donated to the cause including a trip on the Interislander Ferry, Meals at Restaurants and free Rock Climbing passes.

COMEDIC CURE: Michèle A’Court performs at the Lovin Laughter event last week, all the money raised was donated to the Gardiner family in an e� ort to get Mila over to the USA for life changing surgery.

“It has made me work even harder in everything that I do”.

T he Awa rd ca tegor ies are: Youth Leadership and Team Work Award; Creative Achievement and Innovation Award; Community First Award; Courage in Adversity Award; Carers Award; Conser-vation and Environment.

A new beauty salon, Bella Beauty, is opening in the village, and local girl Sarah Shannon can’t wait for the doors of her new salon to open up.

The mother of one has always wanted to own her own salon one day, but never really knew when, that was until she saw an opportunity one day.

“One Friday my daughter and I popped into Bizzy Lizzys to have a coffee with my mum when I noticed a for lease sign on the door of the shop across the road,” she says.

“For some reason I thought I’d just enquire about it, and here we are, opening a salon.”

Being born and bred in Wainuio-mata Sarah always liked the idea of keeping her business local.

“I also thought it would be a nice touch to the shops that are already in the village.”

Sarah has been a Beauty Thera-pist since 2009, and has achieved international standard qualifi ca-tions at Weltec.

She and a lot of family and friends have put in a lot of hard work in getting the salon ready for opening, including a full refurbishment inside.

“Along with the help from my partner, father in-law and a few

local tradey friends we have stripped all the walls, re-juggled the lay out, rewired, re-gibbed, plastered, painted and spruced up the fl oors,” She says.

“While that’s been happening I’ve been doing all the shopping for the salon and been meeting with a local graphic designer who has been designing my logos and brochures.”

Sarah is looking forward to the opportunity that this salon will bring her, including the ability to wake up every morning and enjoy what she does every day.

“A lot of people don’t get to wake up in the morning and actually look forward to work, well I do, I love what I do, I love all the laughs, good times, friendships that are built and all the fab treat-ments I get to do for people.”

Bella Beauty opens on July 8.

New salon opens in village“I want to be

able to off er my community a locally owned beauty salon,” Sarah says.

Kaumatua that meet at the Wainuiomata Marae got to cel-ebrate Matariki with children from Wainuiomata and Fernlea Primary Schools.

The children performed Maori songs for the Kaumatua, who all enjoyed the performances by both schools.

The children also got to take part in some activities in the afternoon so they could learn more about Matariki and about the history of Maori in New Zealand.

Linda Olsen from the Wainuio-mata Marae says that the children would also learn about kinships and relationships as well.

“What better way than to per-form for the Kaumatua,” she says.

Matariki is the Maori name

for the star cluster known as the Pleiades.

Traditionally for Maori when it appeared just before dawn in late May or early June, it sig-nalled the start of the Maori New Year.

In the early 2000s Te Tau-ra Whiri i te Reo Maori (Mao-r i Language Commission), the Ministry of Education and the Museum of New Zea-land Te Papa Tongarewa, became involved in the revival of Ma-tariki celebrations.

Different tribes celebrated Ma-tariki at different times. For some it was when Matariki rose in May or June.

For others it was celebrated at the fi rst new moon, or full moon, following the rising of Matariki.

In the 21st century it is the new moon following the rising of Ma-tariki that signals the New Year. CELEBRATING: Fernlea School students perform for the Kaumatua at the Wainuiomata Marae last week.

LETTERS to the editor

I believe Prue Lamason should resign from GWRC given the way she did not represent her Constituency of Lower Hutt.

Cr Lamason supported the Independent review of region which was no more than fast tracking the draft Greater Wellington Regional Council

proposal.I told this to Local Commis-

sioner Basil Morrison.How much money has this

cost the ratepayers?We don't really know and

the commissioner should be called in to give us some good governance.

There needs to be a law

change so working groups like the panel chaired by Sir Geoffrey Palmer cannot be set up while the local Govern-ment Act is being amended and the law is not in force.

It is time to nip the idea Supercity in the head.

The idea came from Mark Blumsky in 2006.

Mark Blumsky alleges his private members for a Greater Wellington which from his college John Keys private members bill for Auckland.

I told the Local Govern-ment Commission that Prue Lamason should resign.

Young Hutt Valley builder Sean Ryan’s pathway through school and study has led him to a job he enjoys so much, he says it doesn’t even feel like work.

Sean, 20, works fulltime for Kiwi Construction.

He is also completing his Level 4 National Certifi cate in Carpentry at the Wellington In-stitute of Technology (WelTec).

The former Wainuiomata High School student’s love of building was fi rst sparked by a family project.

“I helped my granddad build a deck,” Sean says.

From there on, Sean knew the direction he wanted his career to go and took school subjects to support this.

In Year 13, Sean was offered a place at the Wellington Trades Academy, which meant he could incorporate the practical com-ponent he loved most with his classroom learning by attending the site at the Wellington Re-gional School of Construction four days a week with one day a week in class.

Learning in a Trades Academy gives students a chance to learn work skills while still at school.

It also allows them to earn sector-related credits which can contribute to a Vocational Pathways Award, which in Sean’s case is for Construction and Infrastructure.

Sean’s passion for his work and commitment to achieving meant that as well as reaching NCEA Level 3 in Year 13 he also received a Hutt City Council Centennial scholarship and Wellington Trades Academy top student prize scholarship so he could study at WelTec fulltime.

Sean completed his Certifi-cate in Carpentry Level 3 and straight away got a job doing commercial building.

From there he joined Kiwi Construction where he has been part of a team building houses. And now, he is studying for his Level 4 National Certificate

- which takes a lot of commit-ment outside work after a tough day on the job.

Sean’s WelTec carpentry tutor Tana Phillips is proud of what Sean is achieving.

“Sean is one that really stood out, from seeing him as a young kid and while still enrolled at secondary school coming into a Level 2 certifi cate and then progressing through and now doing Level 4 while working, it is impressive.”

Sean’s advice to other young people keen to end up in the construction industry would be to follow a similar path to his. “Do a trades course through a Trades Academy if you can, it really helps get you started.”

Sean’s boss at Kiwi Construc-tion, Callan Brouwer, agrees. He noticed a big difference having an employee who had had hands on experience early on.

“It’s more about their work ethic and attitude,” he says.

“That’s what I look for when I’m hiring.”

“If they’ve done the Trades Academy course it shows they must be keen, instead of wast-ing time with people who aren’t really interested in progressing in a construction career.”

Young builder shows value of commitment

“And in Year 12 when I started enjoying subjects like graphics and architecture I realised that building was what I wanted to do.”

Wa inu iomata has now got 50 neighbourhood support groups, with 462 households now members.

This is fantastic news and here’s to the next 50 groups. Thanks to the Wainuiomata community for getting involved and for making our community a safer and more caring place to live.

Neighbourhood Support helps neighbours to talk to each other and work closely with other agencies such as Police, Wellington Region Emergency Management, Fire Service, Council and other organisations within our community.

The aim is to reduce crime, improve safety and prepare us to deal with emergencies and natural disasters.

This community spirit was apparent on Thursday May 12 2015 at approximately 14:00 when the Central Civil Defence Centre, located at Wainuiomata Library was activated due to storm conditions hitting the Wellington region.

The team was led by Gabriel Tupou and supported by Civil Defence Volunteers, Community Patrol, Wainuiomata Volunteer Fire Service, Library Staff, Maori Wardens, Margaret Willard and Neighbourhood Support

The operation went smoothly with all parties cooperating and working well as a team. The exercise was invaluable in that it identifi ed areas for improvement.

The Neighbourhood Support Facebook page was used to communicate messages to residents and as a spin off the Wainuiomata Civil Defence Facebook page has been created.

However, if there was a major event we would have to assume that we would be without power, cell phone coverage or

internet, and plan accordingly. On Sunday June 7, volunteers from

Neighbourhood Support were asked to take part in a training exercise run by the Wainuiomata Volunteer Fire Service.

Members were asked to be present at each Civil Defence Centre and deliver information to the appliances as they arrived.

NS members were also tasked to bombard the fi re station with telephone calls and put the call operators under pressure.

This exercise was invaluable as it too, highlighted areas for improvement and the training exercise will be run again at a later date with more involvement from other groups and agencies.

By getting involved in these training exercises helps to identify where improvements need to made and helps us to prepare for possible future emergencies.

This week is National Volunteers Week and many of the people who have contributed and participated in the CDC activation and the training exercises are volunteers, thank you to all the volunteers in the Wainuiomata community.

If you would like to know more about any of these organisations and how to volunteer please let me know and I will be able to put you in contact with the right person.

In a disaster the most immediate source of help will be your neighbours. If you would like to start a Neighbourhood Support group in your street contact me;

The Wainuiomata High School Junior A team continued their remarkable run, defeating Sa-cred Heart College 24-17 over the weekend.

Both teams went goal for goal in the fi rst half and were evenly placed at half time.

Wainuiomata High School came out fi ring in the second half, led by

player of the day Johanna Schreud-er whose accurate shooting and ability to work the circle to deceive the Sacred Heart College defence, allowed Wainuiomata High School to pull away to take the victory.

The team remains unbeaten this season.

The Premier One Ulalei side went down to Petone Rugby League 78-47, although they put up a good fi ght considering six of their players

were unavailable.Ulalei were able to show some

brilliant attacking and defensive skills, however it was only in patches.

As the team rebuilds it will aim to extend these brilliant patches of play into a full one hour game.

Lilly Laban played a strong defensive game against some for-midable opposition.

The Premier Two Ulalei Side

also went down, losing 38-27 to Maidstone.

Ulalei got off to a slow start trail-ing Maidstone by 5 goals early in the fi rst quarter, however, Ulalei were able to pull back to be within 2 goals by half time due to some fantastic intercepts from Kalala Smith and excellent shooting skills by goal shooter Siobhan Fox.

This set up an exciting second half, but was undone by some

dubious calls in the last quarter, derailing the young Ulalei team's momentum, allowing the more experienced opposition to pull away to take the game.

Coach Toli Sagaga was pleased with how her young side per-formed.

"There were some great phases of play that the team can take away and build on as the season progresses."

PAYING RESPECTS: The Wainuiomata High School Senior team before last weeks game.

Junior A side remains undefeated

On Wednesday June 17 a team of 12 girls represented Wainuio-mata Intermediate at the annual Hutt Valley Inter-Intermediate Hockey Tournament.

The girls started off with a bang, beating Naenae Interme-diate 3-nil and then defeated Fergusson Intermediate in a closer affair.

This meant we topped our pool and would face Hutt Intermedi-ate in the semi-fi nal.

The semi-fi nal was a very tight contest, with Hutt having all the possession and scoring two early goals.

The girls fought back and ended up winning 5-2, with Olivia Martin and Kesiah Paki taking control of the second half and playing exceptional hockey.

In the fi nal we faced Maidstone Intermediate.

The girls were very nervous, but exceptionally excited with the prospect of winning a trophy.

It was 0-0 at half time and Wainui had played all the attack-ing hockey.

But, the defence of Maidstone was very impressive.

The girls came out fi ring in the second half and scored two early goals.

The end score was 2-0, this is the second time the Wai-nuiomata Girls Hockey team has won this tournament.

The team was captained by Kesiah Paki. The stand out players were Kesiah Paki, Olivia Martin, Layla Gard-ner and Shaa-Iqah Esbach.

The Wainuiomata senior women's team drew 1-1 against Kapiti.

While the Wainuiomata team had the upper hand, they were unable to capital-ise and convert more goals.

Wainuiomata remain un-defeated and top of the table, with the last game of the round on Sunday against Upper Hutt at Maidstone Turf Park.

In the Juniors teams, the Years 3-4 and 5-6 games were cancelled due to weather conditions. How-ever the Years 7-8 team were convincing 11-1 win-

ners over Marsden, with Leigh Gray the player of the day.

The Wainuiomata High School team lost 4-0 to Wellington Girls College on Friday night.

Injuries continue to im-pact the team, with Laney Rawiri having to leave the fi eld and seek medical at-tention.

WINNERS: The Wainuiomata Intermediate Hockley side that won the Hutt Valley Girls Hockey Tournament.

Intermediate wins Hutt Valley Girls Hockey Tournament

The latest chapter of the never ending saga that is NRL contracts has just begun again, and there is a Kiwi in the middle of it.Kieran Foran has reportedly signed the crazi-est contract in the history of contracts, with the Parramatta Eels.His $4.8 million over four years deal is crazy enough, but the fact that there is a clause in his contract that says he can leave at any time and still get paid $1 million is nuts.This means that at any point over the next four years Foran can basically just walk away, and get paid a million bucks for that.Where do I sign up for that deal?The contract system in the NRL is farcical, Da-ley Cherry Evans apparently signed with the Gold Coast Titans then decided, yeah, nah.He would much rather stay at Manly, which has put the Titans out of a player for next year due to the fact that contracts do not become binding until round 13.In my mind isn’t a contract a binding contract no matter when it is signed, isn’t that the law.But then again, the NRL is known for clubs trying to bend the law, multiple clubs have gone above the salary cap, you had the ASADA investigations on top of that.Yes in the sector they are in, winning is everything, but wouldn’t winning clearly be just more satisfying than manipulating the law to get what you want.What is backing out of contracts, making ridiculous requests of teams and even worse, entire organisations breaking the law, teach-ing societies?If this is how clubs are going, why have a salary cap? Why even have contracts?Why don’t people just turn up and play for whoever they want?

The NRL, showing how not to be professional
