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 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

Wainuiomata Community Patrol is hoping to extend its service to the community by welcoming more volunteers in 2016.

Community patrols are voluntary groups of people, giving some of their time and taking responsibility within their own community, to assist police and help make their local community safer for everyone.

Wainuiomata Community Patrol deputy coordi-nator Paul Knox said it had been a busy start to the year for the patrol team.

Locals were left reaching for the icecreams to keep cool last Wednes-day, after temperatures in Wainuio-mata reached a sizzling 31C.

On its website MetService said Wednesday’s warm weather was thanks to a ridge of high pressure hovering over the country.

At its peak, Wainuiomata reached a hi gh of 31C before dropping down to a low of 17C.

Meanwhile, Lower Hutt reached a high of 29C, Upper Hutt a high of 29C and in Wellington temperatures topped 28C.

Continued from page 1He said many new spon-

sors had come on board and a generous donation from Ninox Construction would be a huge help with fuel costs for the year.

“This year hopefully we will get more support. We want to be in a position to be able to change our vehicle.

“That would help us in terms of getting involved with any civil defence stuff. It also gives us protection at the end of the day.”

Paul said unfortunately, the patrol team had recently been having issues with a group of youth in the community.

“There has been a lot of wilful damage and tagging and that has been going on since early December around the CBD and other areas around town.”

He said the patrol car had been bottled and the back panels on the car had been kicked in. From left, Paul Knox, Selina Riini, Tracey Mans� eld and Tuhi Riini.

“We just want to let people know that we take [this be-haviour] seriously every time and police will be involved and there will be conse-quences.”

Pauls said for this reason he hoped to see more volunteers come on board this year.

He said there were currently nine volunteers, however, having 20 volunteers would take the pressure off those who were currently donating their time.

Volunteer Tracey Mansfi eld said it was just one per cent of people causing issues in the

community and described the rest of the community as “fantastic”.

Locals are invited to attend a public meeting on issues sur-rounding housing in the Hutt Valley next Monday.

The meeting will be attended by local electorate MP’s, in-cluding Hutt South MP Trevor Mallard.

Mr Mallard said after door knocking residents across Wainuiomata and the Hutt Valley last year, it “became clear” that housing was an issue.

He said there were issues with rental properties, access to emergency housing and affordable housing for first home buyers.

A lot of rental housing avail-able to families these days was damp and had no insulation, eventually leading to health problems, Mr Mallard said.

He also said the Govern-ment’s defi nition of affordable housing was unrealistic.

“It is very hard for most fi rst home buyers. We are looking for solutions.

“People are having trouble getting into their own home. [I believe] it’s a generational thing, there are people who are really scared that their own kids, who might be parents themselves, are never going to get into their own home.

“Everyone deserves a home they can be proud of. It is a mix of getting people into their fi rst homes and quality rental places.”

Mr Mallard encouraged the public to attend next week’s meeting, whether it was to

offer their input or listen to others.

“I encourage people to come along and give contributions of about a minute explaining why this is a problem and why this is a solution… or just to come and listen.

“We have a political view… but we are always interested in what people think.”

The public meeting will be held at 6pm at Walter Nash Stadium in Taita, on Monday, February 15.

Close to 300 balloons were released at a poignant memo-rial service on Pukeatua Bridge at the weekend for Ataahua Journey Harris-Timoti.

Ataahua sadly died last week. The two-year-old had suffered from bronchiectasis, which

causes the lungs and airways to become severely damaged. Ataahua needed the aid of an oxygen tank to breath.

In memory of the toddler, more than 50 locals gathered at Pukeatua Bridge to release bal-loons and bubbles on Saturday morning.

Ataahua’s aunt, Awhi Keefe,

said it “meant a lot” to see friends, family and members of the community gather to show their respects.

“It really means a lot. Not only to myself, but to Ataahua’s fam-ily. She was a community baby and the support at the moment has been overwhelming.

“I’m speechless.”

The balloons were released from the bridge at 1pm, follow-ing Ataahua’s tangi.

Awhi said family were also releasing balloons at the same time following her tangi, as were family and friends as far away as Australia.

“We are releasing them in one go,” she said.

Remembering Ataahua

Locals released close to 3000 balloons for Ataahua Journey at a service at the weekend.

Year 9 students at Wainuio-mata High School are looking for ways to give back to their community.

Deputy Principal, Janette Melrose, said all year 9 stu-dents would attend camp at the end of the month, followed by two days of service to the community.

“Whether it is an elderly couple that need their yard cleared, or a park that needs cleaning, it’s not going to cost the community anything, as a school we just want to put some time back into the Wainuiomata Community.”

Janette said they had tried service to the community programmes at the school in previous years.

“Past service has included cleaning Petone Beach but this year we really want to stay in the valley and spend time with people.”

Janette said the programme tied in with the school’s values and was also a part of its Aspire programme.

If you have a project or a job that year 9 students from Wainuiomata High School

could complete as part of their service to the community call the school offi ce on 938 3224.

Konini Primary School’s young-est students were full of beans for their fi rst week back at school last week.

The school has a new entrant class of 13 children this year. Of this class three fi ve-year-olds had their very fi rst day at school last Monday.

New entrant teacher Liz West said the children had had a fan-tastic fi rst week back.

“After the fi rst day they were happy but tired. But they have been slowly getting stronger and adapting to the fact they weren’t going to have their toys out all

day long.”Last week was also special for

Liz – it was her fi rst week as new entrant teacher for the school.

Assistant principal Katherine Wong said the school tried to integrate new entrant students into school life as smoothly as possible.

“We have a getting ready for school party for the kids who are turning five… they bring their parents and come and meet the teachers and collect a take home pack.

“In getting them ready for school we like to take them around and show them where everything is so they are really familiar before

they start.”Last week, more than 10,000

fi ve-year-olds started school for the very fi rst time. Over the course of the year, another 52,000 chil-dren are expected to begin school.

Education Minister Hekia Parata was among those to wish children and young people well as they prepared to pick up their school bags and head to school.

“I hope kids are feeling full of beans after the summer break and looking forward to challenges of a new year.”

Just over three quarters of a mil-lion children returned to schools across the country this year, she said.

Back to school

Wainuiomata residents are invited to an information meeting, to hear about upgrades to the Wainuiomata Hill Rd shared pathway.

The shared pathway will be an upgrade to the existing narrow paths along Wainuiomata Hill Rd.

It will provide safe and easy

access across the hill by foot or by bike.

Concepts have been developed by the Hutt City Council’s consultants, GHD, and they will be presented at next Monday’s information evening.

Locals will have the opportunity

to ask questions, look at maps and talk with elected offi cials, council officers and consultants from GHD.

The information evening will take place next Monday, February 15 at the Wainuiomata Chambers from 5.30pm.

Visitors to the Hutt City’s central business district can treat themselves to one hour of free parking.

The Hutt City Council is currently trialling the free parking scheme, before assessing it to see if the opportunity had a positive impact on retail spend and activity.

Mayor of Lower Hutt, Ray Wallace, said the council was there to support retail-ers and the business sector.

“We considered all views on this issue and see this trial and assessment as the most effective way to see if free parking has a positive impact on retail spend.”

The council said the trial came from discussion and workshops with relevant community groups and

businesses around increas-ing retail activity in the c entral business district.

The Traffi c Subcommit-tee, which made the rec-ommendation to council, heard submissions in sup-port of free parking that included the view that the cost of paid parking is a deterrent for shoppers.

However, council offi cers reported that international evidence and recent free parking trials in New Zea-land towns and cities did not suggest free parking was an effective strategy to attract more shoppers to the city.

Before a permanent deci-sion is made on whether to keep free parking, there will be a full consultation with residents.

Free parking for one hour in Lower Hutt

HOW THE TRIAL WORKS:The � rst hour of parking will be free for pay-and-display car parks with a two hour time limit in the HC2 zone (the Shoppers Zone) of Lower Hutt’s central business district. People parking for one hour or less will not be required to pay for or display a ticket, however, people parking for more than an hour will be required to pay for and display a ticket.

Letters on issues of community interest are welcomed. Guidelines are that they should be no longer than 150 words.

LETTERS to the editor

Dear Ed, There is a huge problem with the speed limit on Coast Rd and I don't think that it is the actual posted speed limit, but the people using it. I live at the beginning of Coast Rd; and at times, the cars and especially motorbikes that go past are doing way more than the speed limit. As they go past the last roundabout at Hine Rd they seem to open up and fl oor it. My concern is that there are kids walking along the walkways and if these people lose control, they will kill these kids

(one of the reasons why I won't let my kid walk alone along Coast Rd). They should put cameras and speed bumps to curb these individuals from speed-ing. This would stop the speeding and hopefully cut down on the reckless driving of certain individuals. The police cannot patrol this road all the time; therefore other means of slowing them down should be used. I have had car and motorbikes go past that are going so fast and their cars are so loud, that they have woken me up numerous

times in the early hours of the morning. As you get further down coast road as you are heading towards the golf course, I think the speed limit should be reduced due to the tight curves in the road, but these roads should also have some sort of deterrent to stop the speeding in this area. I am surprised there are not more accidents in this area. I hope this eventuates with a solu-tion to reduce the speed in Coast Rd.

D Gibson (abridged)Wainuiomata

Speed limit a “huge problem”

Dear Ed, I would like to say “many thanks” to Clive and Trevor Mallard for coaxing New Zealand Post into putting a post box in a handy position in Queen St so that people, like myself,

don’t have to walk over to the New Zealand Post shop in the Strand every time to post our letters and birthday cards. Yes, some people still like to keep in touch with relatives or friends

by sending and receiving letters or birthday cards the ‘old fashioned’ way and not through the internet.

Marion Bolli-GuerinWainuiomata

Many thanks for post box

Dear Ed, Firstly I would like to acknowledge the committee for the Wainuiomata Pioneer Church 150th Jubilee, the committee led by Joyce Lockyer did a fantastic job. I enjoyed hearing the history of the church and the people who founded it, the sig-

nifi cance it has held in our community and the many connections that are still strong today between the families who founded the church 150 years ago. Thank you to everyone that shared their family stories and lineage at the jubilee. The jubilee was a resounding-

ly successful community event, thank you to everyone that was involved, and for continuing to make Wainuiomata a great community to be a part of. Josh Briggs

Wainuiomata

150 years of history


Wainuiomata Library is kicking off the New Year with a range of classes and programmes for members of the community to take part in.

Wainuiomata Community Hub pro-grammes team leader, Tania Snoop, said this year they would be introduc-ing a range of new programmes to the community.

Next week, a ‘Lunch and Learn’ business training and information workshop will take place at Wainuio-mata Library.

“It’s a great programme that was run over in the Hutt. It is recognising there

are some neat businesses starting up here in the Valley,” Tania said.

The workshop is aimed at small busi-nesses and start-up businesses who want to upgrade their business skills.

It will also involve a goal setting workshop, to help those in small and start-up businesses defi ne visions for the next 12 months and learn how to translate them into actionable and achievable tasks.

Wainuiomata Pacific Education Success Initiative (WaiPesi) also kicked off 2016 with a barbecue and information evening which took at Wainuiomata Library last night.

WaiPesi was launched almost fi ve

years ago, by a group of intermediate teachers in Wainuiomata.

Through WaiPesi, sessions are held to help parents learn ways in which to encourage their children to learn.

New and returning families attended last night’s barbecue to say hello and fi nd out what’s planned for the year ahead.

For more information on WaiPesi, check out the WaiPesi Facebook page.- The Lunch and Learn workshop will take place at Wainuiomata Library on Friday, February 19. Workshop is $5 which includes a brown bag lunch.

New community programmes

Dear Ed, I manned a stall outside Clive's Chemist for a few days before Christmas. The new post box was a huge hit. So many people stopped to ask when it had been put in, and heaps of people used it, several on mobility scooters too. It was the unoffi cial Queen Street Christmas tree for two of those days, it was lovely to sit there and have so many Wainui people stop and talk to me about who they were sending

their mail off to and how long it had been since they'd seen them etc. One young lad came up with his mail and asked me how the postman got the letters out, I showed him the flap over the secret keyhole and he was fascinated, such a sweetie. I'm thinking of putting up a couple of deck chairs there on Sat-urdays so people can stop and chat again. This is why I love Wainuiomata.

Wainuiomata may have not taken out the national club sevens title at the weekend, but nonetheless have described the tournament as a “great success”.

Wainuiomata hosted the New Zealand National Club Sevens tournament at William Jones Park last Saturday and Sunday, after beating Hutt Old Boys Marist in last year’s fi nal held in Tauranga.

The winner of the County

Middlesex Wavell Wakefield Cup this year was Melville, who had travelled from Hamilton to take part in the tournament. They beat the Upper Hutt Rams 34-24 in the cup fi nal.

Wainuiomata played Hamilton Marist in the semi-fi nal of the bowl cup, but Hamilton Marist won.

Club president, Jim Miller said despite not taking away the cup, last weekend’s tournament was a “great success”.

“The tournament went really

well due to the great effort of our club members.

“Our guys played really well. In our fi rst game out we actually beat Melville. But it was great having sides from as far as Northland, Taranaki, Hawkes Bay and Nelson.

“Over the whole weekend the people were just fl ying in and out. The music was going, the red bull tent was up.

“It was great for us as far as the club goes. It was great for getting us out there publically.”

Ulalei Netball Club is inviting members of the local commu-nity to attend trials this weekend for the upcoming netball season.

Ulalei, which was established in 2004, is a small netball club based in Wainuiomata.

Club secretary, Toli Sagaga, said the club’s aim was to pro-vide a club that was accessible

for players of all playing abili-ties.

“We have a close relation-ship with Wainuiomata High School with the aim to provide a seamless transition for college players, from school netball, to club netball.

“We are passionate about netball for our club and for our community.”

Toli said the club’s achiev-

ments on the netball courts have exceeded expectations, having two teams playing in the Premier 1 and Premier 2 grade last year.

For this reason, Toli said the club aimed to have a good turnout for trial this year.

“Notices have gone out via so-cial media, the club's Facebook page, Twitter, and email. “

Toli also said the club was

Netball trials for Ulalei Club Wainuiomata Junior Rugby Registrations

Sportsinbrief

excited to have a new Premier 1 coach, Claire Campbell.

“Ulalei are looking forward to Claire embarking her skills and expertise on Team 1 as well as the rest of the club.”

Toli said although the club prided itself on having two teams at the top of the Hutt Valley competition, they also welcomed players who were new to the game or just wished to play socially.

“Competition games are on Satur-days at the new Walter Nash Centre in Taita. We are also on the lookout for a Premier 2 coach and manager.

“So if you prefer to either coach or manage, pop on down to trials and have a chat with one of the lovely committee members who will be more than happy to answer any queries you have.”
