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.”

Continued from page 2Andrew has also travelled

around working in different bakeries, even in Australia before returning to the bakery in 2000, around the same time The Ware-house opened next door.

“I always wanted to own my own bakery, when Alan said he was leaving, I didn’t want to see the bakery close,” he says.

The feedback Andrew has got from the community has been great, he says it has all been positive.

“I set up a Facebook page, and it already has around 600 likes and lots of good comments.

“Everyone loves this place.”Andrew wants to make sure all

the items everyone knows and loves will remain, but he also plans to add a few more items to the selection.

“I’m really excited for the op-portunity, thanks to Alan for the way he handed over the bakery.

“It made it easier than it could have been, I am really looking forward to the challenge.”

Andrew was born and bred in Wainuiomata, he is currently part of the Wainuiomata Bush Fire Force.

He has one son and says he took on the bakery for him, to make sure his future was looked after.

“Family is always the most important thing, they have helped me alot.”

Future clothes designers from Wainuiomata got the chance to learn about the craft last week at the Wainuiomata Library.

In what was part of Hutt City Libraries holiday programmes, the group of teens were taught about different aspects of fash-ion and what different designs were meant to achieve.

Librarian Alexia Herrera ran the programme and said the children all loved the chance to design clothes.

The programme was also part of the Character Couture Com-petition which the library is running throughout the month.

All entries for this compe-tition are on display at the library.

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 residents are being urged to keep a positive attitude about developments at the Wainuiomata Shopping Centre and the community itself.

In recent years the perception of the Wainuiomata Shopping Centre has been worsening, especially after the moving out of the mall of several businesses including the Post Offi ce and pharmacy.

Both have relocated to prem-ises in The Strand.

MP Trevor Mallard says the community perception of the mall is right as it is clearly obvi-ous it is not working currently.

He says part of the problem is due to rent prices, which he claims are much too high for the area the mall is in.

“A few years back I wanted to

move the offi ce inside the mall, the quote we got was far higher than what we currently pay.

“The owners need to charge Queen Street Wainuiomata prices, not Queen Street Auck-land prices.”

Councillors Campbell Barry and Margaret Willard both say the future of Wainuiomata is bright.

Councillor Barry says what is happening in the mall does not refl ect what is happening in the wider community.

“The mall is not a Wainuioma-ta problem, it’s a mall problem.

“Of course we have our chal-lenges, but in no way does the mall’s problems refl ect on Wainuiomata generally.

“In fact Wainuiomata has a number of exciting develop-ments and initiatives, which are either on going or soon to be started.”

He says the best way Wai-nuiomata can help the situation is buy improving what we can control, and encouraging the mall to follow.

Councillor Willard says Wai-nuiomata is in a great place, with the Development Wainuiomata 20 year plan being an integral part of the positivity.

The plan is to revitalise the central city, making it a more attractive option for people to move to and visit.

“The building of Pukeatua Bridge was only the beginning of progress in the valley, the shared pathway over the hill is coming soon.”

She says Hutt City Council will work collaboratively with mall owners in improving the current situation.

All three agree Wainuiomata residents need to let go of the past, letting go of the communi-

ties former glory days and look towards a bright new future in the valley.

Wainuiomata Shopping Centre Management Group Oyster Property Group are currently moving forward with plans to redevelop the mall.

General Manager Vaughan Ludlam says there is a number of development hurdles to meet before construction can begin.

“This includes a sufficient level of pre-leasing that shall be agreed on closer to construction.

The group is currently work-ing on securing tenants.

“We are approaching an excit-ing time for the Wainuiomata Shopping Centre, Oyster Group is enthusiastic about the plans and progress for development.”

Vaughan is urging Wainuio-mata residents to support the mall, both currently and once the development is complete.

Positive future for Wainuiomata Mall“The owners need to charge Queen Street Wainuiomata prices, not Queen Street Auckland prices.”

Parkway Park play area has been left in disarray after money set aside for playground mainte-nance was used over the hill on the Avalon Park upgrade.

The Children’s play area at the park was set for a revamp in 2015, however the work has been delayed for another year after the

$200,000 Council budget for playground equipment replace-ment and maintenance was used to help with extra costs in the Hutt City Councils Avalon Park project.

Hutt City Councillor Campbell Barry isn’t happy about the delay and questions Council

using maintenance budgets to help cover extra costs in capital projects. “The current state of the Children’s play area is a disgrace and is in urgent need of attention. We have a maintenance and replacement budget for a reason” says Cr Barry.

Funding needed for lacklustre playground

was urgently removed over a year ago after it was found to be riddled with rust and nails which served as a serious hazard. The equipment has not been replaced, and what remains appears to be in very poor condition.

“To pull down the children’s play equipment and plan to leave it vacant for two years isn’t good enough”.

Cr Barry says he will be mov-ing a motion at the next Council meeting to seek additional fund-ing for the playground budget so work can start on Parkway as soon as possible.

Community Board Deputy Chair Josh Briggs agrees that work on the play area should be a priority.

“Playgrounds are an integral part of our community and the Hutt City Council itself has the maintenance of playgrounds listed as a priority in its strategic documents”.

Mr Briggs would like to see the Community Board given more delegations that would help in the oversight of community assets like Parkway Park.

“It would help ensure our assets are in the best possible condition that they can be”.

Cr Barry agrees that this should be a role given to Community Boards and Community Com-mittees across the City.

Hutt City Council has joined others in the region in welcoming the announcement of the new Wellington-Canberra-Singapore service by Singapore Airlines.

Acting Lower Hutt Mayor David Bas-sett says businesses will be the ones who benefi t the most.

“We have a lot of business in Lower Hutt succeeding on the global stage, so the better connected we are internationally the better.

“This is good news for the region, for residents looking to travel recreationally and for developing stronger business and political ties with Australia and Asia. This announcement greatly improves the ease

of travel to and from Asia, as travellers will be able to stay on the same plane all the way from Wellington to Singapore.

“We look forward to hosting many more visitors here, with our modern Events Centre and four-star hotel just a 30 minute drive from the airport, opening in early 2017, we are really excited about what we can offer.

“It’s great to see confi dence in this region from such a well-reputed airline.”

Singapore Airlines are scheduled to commence fl ying four times per week from Wellington to Canberra and then onward to Singapore in late September 2016.

For the fi rst time ever, Wai-nuiomata has the chance for health care seven days a week after Ron Chin and Evan Choi decided to open Wainuiomata Pharmacy on Sundays.

Ron Chin says he recalls a conversation many years ago with MP Trevor Mallard who wanted to see if any of the three pharmacies in Wainuiomata at the time

could open on Sunday’s.“At the time none of us

could as we were all one man bands,” he says.

“Now that Evan and I have merged we are able to do this.”

The two owners see this as a chance for members of the public to save money and time, as they do not have to go over the hill.

“The Hutt Valley District Health Board always encour-ages people to see their phar-

macist or doctor before going to accident and emergency.

“I don’t think people quite realise we can assess patients and give them advice on what they need to do, if they need to go to emergency from there or if we can help here.”

Both Ron and Evan are encouraging Wainuiomata residents to use the service.

“It is the only seven day a week health service in Wainuiomata,” says Evan.

Wainuiomata’s oldest church is turning 150 years old on Waitangi weekend and plans are made to celebrate this achievement.

Coast Road Church, sometimes known as the Wainuiomata Pioneer Church, is the third oldest church in the Wellington Region and was the fi rst Methodist Church, although now is not affi liated with any religion.

Wainuiomata Pioneer Church Preservation Society Member Joyce Lockyer says she is expect-ing many people to turn up to the celebrations on Waitangi Day.

“We have musical items, Mayor Ray Wallace, Hutt South MP Trevor Mallard and National List MP Chris Bishop will be speaking.

“We also have an offi cial cake for the celebrations which will be cut by our oldest member.”

Many of Wainuiomata’s early settlers are buried around the church site and Joyce says ancestors of these people are attending the

celebrations.A new book will also be launched

on Waitangi Day, telling the stories of many of the early pioneers of Wainuiomata.

“Many people attending have already preordered the book, they all are wanting to hear stories about the people of Wainuiomata,” says Joyce.

There will also be a chance to buy some Memorabilia.

On Sunday a service will be held and the Wainuiomata Vintage Car Club will perform a drive past.

The current site of the church was purchased by Richard Prouse in 1853, the buiding was built with wood which was supplied by the Prouse Mill.

The Church was offi cially opened on February 6 1866.

Recently renovated, the church is much loved in the community, with many taking ownership of it.

“Many people round the valley call it our church, a lot of people love this building,” says Joyce.

Dear Ed, After I wrote about there being a no parking facility on the hill, what do I see? I don’t travel over the hill much (but at least once a week), and within a three week span after writing my article, I see a car parked up the “service vehicle access only” road with a fl at tire with an AA vehicle parked in front of it on the main hill road,

A week later a grey van was stationary

on top of the hill with hazard lights fl ash-ing, blocking one of the lanes. This is not safe and it is also not their fault. I wonder how many other unsafe stoppages have occurred since the parking area has been replaced with a pile of dirt. It’s a no brainer, return the car park. Don’t be stubborn politician’s, you're not always right.

Just let it go, do the right thing. Lance Thompson Snr.

Dear Ed, I've just fi nished reading the letter posted in this week’s Wainuiomata News by Irene Galuszka. I agree with her on the issue of the garden at the top of the hill instead of parking. Really crazy idea putting a garden there instead of parking, so that once again there is only access to the bridge on one side.

As for having somewhere to pull off the road in case of break down it is absolutely needed. Last year before the bridge garden

was put in I had the need to pull in there. My car was over heating because my radiator burst, I don't know what I would have done if I didn't have somewhere to pull in safely.

So yes I’m all for getting rid of the garden. It was a stupid idea. I from what I have heard a lot of people agree. I would have thought it was logical to keep parking on both sides of the hill.

Jennifer Paisley

Proving a point A safety hazard

The start of a new year can be an exciting time for many, but for some it’s a time when money can be tight, stress can be high and family situations or relationships can be challenging.

That’s from Family Works regional manager Nici Nixon, who is reminding the Wainuiomata community that whatever they’re going through, Family Works can help.

“We want to remind people that they aren’t alone and there is support available if they need it,” Nici explains.

“We provide a range of social services for children, young people, parents and families in Wainuiomata and the Hutt Valley, including social work, counselling, parenting courses and support groups.”

Family Works is a family-focused agency, meaning that while they can work with individual children, teenagers, and adults, the focus is on making a positive difference for the whole family.

“We take a strengths-based approach which is about empowering people to make positive changes in their lives by building on what they already have.”

Nici says Family Works is encouraging people to get in touch to see how they can help their family fl ourish this year.

“Often people can reach a point where the things they’re going through start to feel impossible to change, but things can change for the better with the right sup-port,” says Nici.

Family Works has parenting programmes scheduled for early 2016 which cater for different parenting needs.

“Our parenting groups are for people who want to build on their skills as parents. It’s about having even more knowledge, ideas and approaches to meet the challenges that being a parent or carer can bring to us all.”

Family Works is also a provider of the Ministry of Justice Family Dispute Resolu-tion (FDR) service, an out of court media-tion service for parents who are separating and wish to agree on a parenting plan. PBA

Hutt South MP Trevor Mallard has once again thrown his support behind Moa by volunteering his time for the Moa Conservation Trust.

Last Thursday, Mallard joined a team of volunteers to in-stall state of the art possum traps along the McKerrow track.

The A12 possum trap units were designed by Goodnature, a Wellington based company who have put their skills in industrial design to good use in the conservation space.

The A12 units are clean, humane and leave no toxins in the environment so do not pose a risk to dogs or children walking the track.

As Labour’s Animal Welfare spokesperson, Mallard was only too happy to get hands-on.

“The Moa Conservation Trust has been doing fantastic work. Since setting up in June 2014, they have installed two trap lines, resulting in more than 300 possum kills.” says Mallard.

“The work they are doing is of benefi t to all in the region, helping to revitalise local bird life and preserve it for future generations.”

The Moa Conservation Trust is always on the look out for additional volunteers to help install these traps.

If you would like to get involved, please check out their website www.moaconservationtrust.co.nz for more information.

Wheels over PukeatuaBy Aaron Meredith

Those who have not been able to cross Pukeatua Bridge got the chance to on Monday thanks to Hutt City Coun-cil, the Wainuiomata Rugby League Club and Woburn

Home.Councillor Margaret Willard

helped organise the event for elderly people who do not have the ability to walk up to the bridge.

To help out with this, mem-bers of the Wainuiomata Rug-

by League Club helped wheel the large group of people over the bridge, showing off the amazing views which can be seen from the top.

Wheelchairs were borrowed from Woburn Home.

Trevor Mallard has been assisting in laying traps to contain possum numbers.

Members of the Wainuiomata Rugby League Club help people over Pukeatua Bridge last Monday.

Wellington Emergency Management (WREMO) is holding four free training courses aiming to help Lower Hutt people be better prepared for an emergency.

This is happening every Thursday throughout February (4, 11, 18, 25) at the Pavilion on Laings Road.

This is open to anyone in the community who wants to know where they can help themselves and their neighbours. For more information visit www.getprepared.org.nz/civil_defence_training

HAUGHEY, Isobel Richmond (nee Macowan): January 18, 2016.


Tyson Fury is creating interest in boxing againTo many he is crazy or nuts, but there is no doubt Tyson Fury is bringing attention to a sport which was becoming rather predictable in the last decade.When Fury defeated Wladimir Klitschko for the IBO, WBA, IBF and WBO World Heavyweight Championships, he ended a 11 year unbeaten run for the former champion, who while being a great champion, will not be remembered as one of the great showmen of a sport that is known for big personalities.Think Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson and Floyd Mayweather, all showmen whose con� dence is sometimes mixed up with arrogance, but love them or hate them, everyone watched them.Fury has this personality which makes you take notice when he says or does something, whether he is boxing or not.His latest outing in the public eye came right af-ter Deontay Wilder, the WBC World Heavyweight Champion, knocked out his latest opponent.Fury stormed the ring and made it known he wanted a uni� cation bout with Wilder for all the titles.His � rst words to Wilder were “There’s only one Tyson Fury, what do you think about that?”Wilder was as bemused as the entire crowd, when I � rst heard I was confused, to me it didn’t make sense, but that is how Fury’s mind works I guess.Taking away from the fact he stormed the ring an interrupted another boxers moment and him not making sense at all with what he says, he did make more people aware there was a world title � ght on at the time.Most people in this country barely know when Joseph Parker’s next bout is, let alone a bout which happened on the other side of the world.If there is a uni� cation bout in the future, it would be massive, many people would watch it, but it may just be to see Fury get knocked out, not that it is guaranteed, look a Floyd Mayweather, everyone watched him to see him get beat, and it never happened.

The Wainuiomata Cricket First Team went down heavily to Wel-lington Collegians over the weekend at Bryan Heath Park.

The visitors batted fi rst and after a strong opening partnership went on to score 261/9 off their 50 overs.

This total proved far too much for Wainuiomata to chase, eventually being bowled out for 203 in the 44th over.

The second team had a bye over the weekend.

Next week the first team begins a two day match against Eastern Suburbs.

The game starts at 12pm at Bryan Heath park next Saturday, then con-cludes on Sunday February 7.

The second team will be playing the Taita Fireblades, the game is at Bryan Heath Park beginning at 1pm.

In the T/20 grade, Rosco plays the Taita Titans at Fraser Park beginning at 2pm, Brownie has the bye.

The game at Wise Park will begin at 3.15pm, and the team will want to have a strong performance this week.

The Rare Breeds will be playing Totara Park Blue at 1.15pm in the curtain raiser to the Presidents game.

Wainuiomata will be playing Hutt Valley Marist on the second fi eld, beginning at 3.15pm.

On the points table, The Rare Breeds are sitting in second place with 16 points, three behind table

The Wainuiomata Capital Three side will travel to Paraparaumu to play Kapiti Coast at Te Atiawa Park.

The side has yet to have a win this year, but will be keen to turn their bad form around.

Busy week for Softballers

Temporary beach volleyball courts are being installed at Avalon Park for the next six weeks.

Hutt City Council has attracted a tournament of international and New Zealand beach volleyball teams to play at the courts from this weekend, as part of the Les Mills Beach Volleyball Pro Tour.

Acting Mayor David Basset says it’s great for the city.

“We are fi nding new and creative uses for our facilities that attract national events and provide new opportunities for our residents.

“This tournament will help inspire the next generation of Kiwi volley-ball players and they can also use the courts after the tour has moved on.”

Tour Director at Volleyball New Zealand Tim Cleaver says the group is really excited to bring beach vol-leyball to Lower Hutt.

“The Pro Tour will be an awe-

some spectacle for the public to come down and watch for free, and then hopefully we'll see the stars of tomorrow getting out and using the court for the rest of summer.

“We know there are plenty of volleyball players around the region who will be excited to come see world-class teams compete.”

After the tournament is over the courts will remain in place for six weeks for fun family activities and use by local leagues.

Les Mills is the tournament spon-sor and Dews Construction spon-sored the installation of the court in Lower Hutt.

General admission to the tournament is free to specta-tors with no booking required. VIP tickets, which give access to a catered VIP area, are available from the Lower Hutt i-SITE or iticket.co.nz
