By Robert JohnsonStudents at Churton Park

school were being extra loud last Friday, but it was not through excessive talk-ing, and it was all for a good cause.

A Loud Shirt Day was held to raise money for a

second cochlear implant for teacher Jolene Butson, with each student donating a gold coin to the cause.

A cochlear implant is a surgically-implanted de-vice that provides a sense of sound to those who are profoundly deaf or hard-of-

hearing.Ms Butson began to lose

her hearing at the age of 22 during her fi rst year of teaching and after nine years of it progressively getting worse, was declared profoundly deaf in 2012. Continued on page 2.

Musical maestro wins awardBy Dave Crampton

Tawa College musician Mat-thew Oliver is the recipient of a Porirua Youth Award for his significant musical achievements.

He received the award at a ceremony at Pataka on September 12.

The awards were initiated in 2010 by Mana-based list MP Hekia Parata, and aim to reward young people who are excelling.

Matthew headed the art and culture category after applying for the awards and securing a recommendation from Tawa College principal Murray Lucas.

“My mum just told me to apply, so I did,” Matthew says. “I thought I would get long listed – I was really pleased and happy with what I had done.”

Two weeks before the cer-emony, a letter arrived telling him he d won. “I was really

pleased, and told my family – I kept it quiet from everybody else.”

From Porirua East, Mat-thew, 15, is among 11 award winners, and received a cer-tifi cate and $500 which he intends to put towards singing and piano lessons at the New Zealand School of Music youth programme.

Earlier this year Matthew gained a distinction pass (93percent) for grade 7 piano from Trinity College of Lon-don, an outstanding result for a young student.

His mother Penelope says Matthew has always loved music.

“His earliest favourites were Brahms, Velvet Underground, Mozart, Beethoven, and The Rolling Stones. Then at about three or four months old he discovered The Wiggles and he just had to be in his Jolly Jumper singing and dancing along.”

Turning it up Continued from page 1.

By Robert JohnsonThe government funded her

fi rst cochlear implant in De-cember last year, a procedure that costs around $50,000 all up.

“The fi rst implant was amaz-ing, I wouldn’t have been able to work this year without it. If I take my implant out, I can’t hear a thing,” she says.

Ms Butson needs to raise around $30,000 for a second cochlear implant which will give her improved hearing in noisy situations, and the ability to recognise the direction in which sounds are coming from.

“At the moment, if noise reaches a certain level or there are sounds coming from dif-ferent directions, they all blend into one and I struggle to hear what is said.”

Despite teaching with hearing loss for nine years before the implant, Ms Butson says the support she has received from the children and the school has been fantastic.

“It is a challenging environ-ment but everyone helps out where they can. It allows the kids to be aware of differ-ences and see that you can do something you love even with a disability.”

Ten-year-old Connor Smith says he bought his fluores-cent yellow top especially for the loud shirt day, as well as dying his hair green in support.

Fellow student Ju-lius Alewynse says he “enjoyed being able to wear cool clothes” for the day.

“I hope she can get enough money to help out.” Ms Butson has a ‘Give a little’ and Face-

book page set

up for donations and has already received

ideas from her class to raise more money during term four.

implant

He has changed somewhat: currently his favourite band is Iron Maiden.

“I`m not really sure why,” he calmly says.

A key member of the Tawa College Barbershop chorus which won the regional cham-pionships this year, Matthew is also one of the youngest members of the college’s

chamber choir and a cello player for the school’s string group.

Matthew is applying to join the New Zealand secondary schools choir in 2015, and hopes to complete a degree in classical performance at the New Zealand School of Music.

By Robert JohnsonA Tawa resident and her son

are one of thousands of families who will benefi t from a new three-year government-funded insulation programme.

Warm-Up New Zealand: Healthy Homes is a new pro-gramme which aims to deliver warmer, drier and healthier homes to those families who are most in need through offer-ing, in most cases, fully-funded insulation.

It was introduced in May and follows the successful government funded insulation programme, Warm Up New Zealand.

Jeannie was looking at paying between $2500 and $5000 to get her new home insulated as her 18-month-old son has been in hospital three times with lung diffi culties.

She was getting quotes for insulation when a work col-league put her in touch with

her daughter, who works for EnergySmart, and told her about the programme.

“It was fantastic to have it all paid for. It was something that had to be done but this was the difference between me having to take out a loan or add it to my mortgage.”

The two eligibility criteria for the Healthy Homes programme are those who are either on a low-income with a community services card, and those who have high health needs who are at particular risk in cold, damp housing.

Jeannie says the change has been amazing since having her home insulated in April this year under the programme.

“It’s warmer all the time, the condensation is gone now and the humidity within the house has dropped, meaning it doesn’t have that damp feeling anymore.

“More importantly though, I

Healthy homes a “life-saver”

haven’t been to the hospital with my son once since having the house insulated which is fantastic,” she says.

The whole process from getting quotes for insulation, to having it installed, took just a month.

“It really was a life-saver for me and my son.

I think anyone who has fam-ily with health conditions should research it and check it out,” Jeannie says.

By Dave CramptonOnslow College business

studies and economics teacher Melanie McIntosh will be more confident teaching students

about New Zealand’s business links with China after a week-long study trip in Shanghai.

Ms McIntosh was one of eight selected teachers nationwide who left for Shanghai on Friday evening to participate in a busi-ness studies forum organised by the Asia New Zealand Founda-tion.

“We really need to have a good look at how to change how we do business,” Ms McIntosh says.

Around 16 per cent of Onslow College’s students are Asian, which is higher than surround-ing colleges.

Ms McIntosh wants to increase knowledge of Asian culture and business practices among the 100 students she teaches.

“We need to fi nd out what we can do in our school to be more Asia aware.”

She applied for the trip in June after fi nding out about it at a personal development course. She was told the following month that she was accepted.

“I was very excited,” she said.So were her students, some of

whom she said want her to bring back presents.

Ms McIntosh is particularly looking forward to discovering how New Zealanders in Shang-hai are doing business.

“I`m really keen to hear their stories so I can fi nd out what to teach and what not to teach,” she says.

Asia New Zealand Foundation

director of education Jeff John-stone says providing teachers with on-the-ground experiences in Asia is essential for them having the confi dence to teach their students about the region.

“They will gain understanding of the business, culture, customs and development of the China, and identify key skills their students will need as New Zea-land’s links with Asia deepen,” he says.

After the forum, Ms McIntosh plans to leave the group and do some sightseeing – includ-ing walking the Great Wall of China.

“I`m going to do that by my-self – but I`m on a tour – it ll be amazing,” she says.

Phantom dumper still at large

Karori's infamous Phantom Dump-er has struck again after a dischage of concentrated waste was dumped in the sewer system yesterday.

The load of concentrated organic matter blocked intake screens at Wellington's western treatment plant and almost caused a plant failure.

The individual has been dumping waste erratically since the beginning of the year and any information from the public would be valuable, says the Wellington City Council.

By Robert JohnsonKarori’s best-kept secret has

proven itself as the best fi sh and chip shop in Wellington after taking out a highly commended award at the 2013 Best Chip Shop competition.

Corfu Seafoods owner Theo Kalantzis says he was very hap-py with the award even though he had high expectations.

“I expected to do pretty well. I have 25 years’ experience in this trade so I know what I’m doing,” he laughs.

Mr Kalantzis was especially happy to be the only fi sh and chip shop from Wellington city to be named a winner in the Manawatu/ Taranaki/ Wel-lington category.

Participants in this year’s com-petition were required to submit

their chips for inspection, which included a controlled-laboratory fat test, and if deemed worthy, a mystery taste test by qualifi ed offi cials.

Corfu’s received it’s highly recommended award after their chips were founds to have less than nine per cent fat, compared to other outlets who can have between 20-25 per cent fat in them.

Mr Kalantzis says the fat con-tent is a big factor in producing popular fi sh and chips that every customer enjoys.

“You can tell when you eat fi sh and chips with higher fat content because you feel oil on the roof of your mouth and around your lips. We don’t have that.”

Customer satisfaction and passion are what keeps him

going, and nothing beats the feeling when a happy customer rings the shop to pass on their compliments.

“We get quite a few who call up actually, it’s great. We have regulars from Newtown and Kilbirnie who come specifi cally for our chips or specially-coated chicken. It’s a nice feeling.”

Despite almost 30 years in the industry, and having opened Corfu Seafoods back in 1992, Mr Kalantzis has no desire to slow down just yet.

“I have no plans to retire just yet,” he laughs. “I’d like to open a couple more shops actually, possibly in the city.”

By Robert JohnsonThe wheels on the bus

continue to go round and round for one of Karori’s oldest community services, who celebrated its 21st birthday earlier this year.

The Karori Community Bus has been running since 1992, providing residents in the area with transport to various events and shop-ping trips.

The celebration, held at the end of May at the Ka-rori Community Centre, involved past and present members of the Community Bus Committee, a birthday cake and fi lling the bus up with baloons.

Community Bus driver

Don Langridge has been at the wheel since 1993 and says the appreciation from users of the bus has kept him around for over 20 years.

“It’s nice to provide a community service and help out that way. People are so appreciative of the service, which makes it all worthwhile.”

Regular users of the Ka-rori Community Bus in-clude Sprott and Huntleigh Rest Homes as well as com-munity groups such as the Karori Scouts.

Mr Landridge says every Monday morning, residents hop on the community bus for a shopping trip to

Johnsonville and we drop them off at their home afterwards.

Cur rent d r iver Jane Campbell says she offered her services after deciding to retire from her teaching career.

“I said when I retired I would do volunteer work. You get quite attached and get to know the riders of the bus quite well.”

The Karori Community Bus was not the fi rst meet-ing for these two however, with Mr Langridge serving as Ms Campbell’s deputy principal at Northlands School.

“She told me when she became a teacher that she

would like to be a driver once she retired and I never forgot that,” Mr Langridge laughs.

The service is maintained through voluntary dona-tions as well as local busi-nesses such as Tuston’s Panel and Paint, who give them $1000 worth of ser-vice each year.

Mr Langridge says the service is currently looking for drivers.

“All of our drivers are over 60 and many of them are teachers. While it isn’t a pre-requisite it does give you a bit of an advantage when it comes to setting rules,” he smiles.

By Robert JohnsonThe Johnsonville Foodbank is in

serious danger of running out after a busy month thanks to the cold weather and rising electricity bills.

Johnsonville Community Centre coordinator Jan Pike says August was their busiest month this year, with 32 parcels distributed to fami-lies in need.

“We have been really busy for some reason. It could be because electricity bills are higher than normal and people are running out of money and using the service,” she says.

“We gave out fi ve parcels alone last Friday and I looked at the shelves and thought, ‘oh no, we are getting pretty low’.”

Local churches continue to do their part with frequent donations of tinned food and cereals but the Foodbank has had to dip into its perishable food fund a few times to top up their dwindling supplies.

“We apply for grants to replace perishable foods and have had to use that a few times. We can’t keep doing it though.”

Administrator Christine Ritchie says the parcels normally provide

families with enough food to last a week or so but due to the stock levels, parcel sizes have taken a bit of a hit.

“We can only give out what we have so the parcels are not quite as big as they were.”

Ms Pike says donations to the Foodbank can be made by dropping items off to the Citizen’s Advice Bu-reau offi ce in the Johnsonville Com-munity Centre, or in the Foodbank bins in Countdown Supermarkets.

“Even a tin or so will help us out. It all helps especially with school holiday’s coming up.”

Running on empty

Johnsonville Community Centre coordinator Jan Pike and

administrator Christine Ritchie show the depleted shelves at the

Johnsonville Foodbank.

Fashion stores from the Johnsonville Shopping Centre are participating in a week-long fashion show, with the winner decided by customer votes.

Each retailer will showcase a ‘new season’ look on a man-nequin in Centre Court until Sunday, September 29.

Customers can vote for the

look they like best and one person who voted for the most popular outfi t will be drawn to win it.

By Dave CramptonMayoral candidate Jack Yan has

brought a new level of connectiv-ity, allowing voters to subscribe to updates on his campaign via text message.

By texting "JACK" to 825, any-one can subscribe to text updates for 20 cents.

The service is being provided by Wellington company Run The

Red, who specialise in providing mobile communication solutions.

Last year they sent more than 200 million texts on behalf of clients.

"I've said I want to connect with our creative enterprises, the ones with real growth potential”, Mr Yan says .

“I believe with the right interna-tional connections, they will be

able to capitalise on the potential they display”.

The initiative means that vot-ers can now follow Mr Yan’s campaign on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, as well as text messaging.

Other mayoral candidates have also embraced social media to varying degrees. All are on fa-cebook.

As of yesterday, Celia Wade Brown topped the candidates with 3185 Facebook friends.

John Morrison had 841 “likes” and Mr. Yan has four Facebook pages with more than 1500 “likes”.

However on Twitter, Mr Yan has 4045 followers, compared to Mr Morrison’s 392, Nicola Young’s 287, and 1691 for avid tweeter Celia Wade Brown.

“I do my own tweets – I know at least one of the other candidates doesn’t,” Ms Wade Brown says.

Karunanidhi Muthu has a hand-ful of Facebook friends, and 100 Twitter followers.

Rob Goulden prefers websites and fl iers and the odd facebook post.

“I`m not really up with Twitter,” Mr Goulden says.

By Robert JohnsonNew Zealand soldiers who gave

their lives fi ghting for their coun-try in World War II now have their place in the community after the unveiling of a new honours board in the Khandallah Town Hall on September 7.

Brian Howard, who had two brothers killed in World War II and pushed for the new honours board, spoke to the crowd who gathered for the offi cial unveiling.

The presentation contained some emotional moments, none more so than when Mr Howard read one of the telegrams his parents received informing them of the death of one of his brothers.

The installation of two glass boards to sit alongside the World War I honours board contains the names of 33 soldiers from the Khandallah area who lost their lives during the war.

Mr Howard, who researched and

collected all of the names on the board, wants to ensure nobody is left off the list and encourages families to read through the names and get in contact if they know someone who has been left off.

The unveiling was carried out by Onslow/Western ward council-lor and mayoral candidate John Morrison and attended by many families wanting to show their appreciation for their local heroes.

Nowadays we can expect to live for longer

than ever before. What does this mean to

you or your loved ones? Working a few

more years before retirement? Pursuing

your hobbies and interests well into

retirement? Caring for your grandkids and

watching them grow up? Even your great-

grandchildren.

Everyone benefi ts from the wisdom and

experience older persons can contribute

and we all play a role in helping the older

people we know live with dignity and

participate fully in society.

The elixir of youth is yet undiscovered.

However, around the world people

recognise that there is a lot they can do to

improve the quality and quantity of their

life.

As October the 1st is October 1

is International Day of Older Persons.

With this in mid we are throwing the

spotlight on osteoarthritis, a condition often

suffered by the elderly.

What is Osteoarthritis and what causes it?Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common

form of arthritis and the leading cause

of chronic disability in the elderly. The

symptoms are pain and stiffness, typically

this occurs in the spine and weight-bearing

joints initially, which can be confi rmed with

x-rays.

There are numerous causes including a

hereditary component, however one of the

common causes of OA is trauma. If you

have had an injury to your knee or ankle

earlier in life and it wasn’t fully rehabilitated

at the time, it is more likely to develop OA.

Similarly, if you have had an injury to your

spine then you are more likely to have OA in

that part of your spine.

When the wheels of a car are out of

alignment the tyres show abnormal wear.

The same thing can happen to the vertebrae

of a spine that is misaligned - it can start

to degenerate. Improper function of the

vertebrae can also place pressure on the

spinal nerves as they exit the spinal column

and this can lead to other health problems.

What can you do about it?

Chiropractors conduct a comprehensive

examination of the spine and can take

x-rays to assess the state of your spine. If

functional problems are found, whether or

not you have OA, we can begin a course of

care to restore function to your spinal joints.

As well as getting your spine checked there

are things you can do to prevent the onset

or slow the progression of OA, such as

controlling your weight and doing regular

exercise like walking or swimming.

Is this you?

Although most people present to

chiropractors for back pain, neck pain

or headaches, I will give you an example

of how we help people with spinal OA: A

typical patient in their 60’s who has just

realized they are having trouble backing the

car out of the drive. We will perform an

exam which often includes spinal x-rays.

We fi nd degeneration of the spine,

confi rmed by what we see on the x-rays.

We begin a course of chiropractic

adjustments, designed to restore normal

function to the spine. The patient improves

their range of motion and feels less stiff. In

fact, often patients will feel like they have

more energy and can do much more that

they could previously. We cannot get rid of

Wellington City Menzshed secreatary John Shrapnell, president Don Matheson and award sponsors Mary-Jane Rivers and Patrick McCombs.

By Robert JohnsonThe accolades keep on coming

for Wellington City Menzshed, after winning a national Dynamic Community Learning Award last Thursday.

This award goes with their Highly Commended Wellington Community Award and the inter-national award from a competition held by Britain’s National Health Service earlier this year.

The Dynamic Community Learning Awards were started nine years ago and celebrate com-munity engagement, excellence and energy in adult community learning.

Mary-Jane Rivers, a sponsor of the awards, says they show the

bright spots in adult community learning across the country and put a spotlight on those doing great work.

“We were totally captivated by the work the City Menzshed do and the clincher was their ap-proach in making sure everyone involved gained something from it.

“The work they did with the greenhouses for Aro Valley Com-munity Centre and working with young people in the community is something you don’t see too often these days.”

The City Menzshed was pre-sented a framed award to hang in the shed as well as a cheque to spend on whatever they needed.

Menzshed president Don Mathe-

son says it was “a thrill to be recognised in this way” and for the work they do in Wellington.

Menzshed secretary John Shrap-nell echoed Mr Matheson’s com-ments and says the positive public-ity is great for the group.

“Hopefully others see the kind of things we get up to here and come along to be part of it. It would be great to keep building on our numbers.”

Mary Gavigan, from Adult Community Education Aotearoa, commended the Menzshed on its fortitude in overcoming its initial struggle to find a space right through to the companion-ship and great work they do in the community.

LETTERS to the editor

By Robert JohnsonA public celebration for the birth-

day of Indian nationalist leader Mahatma Gandhiji will take place in the Wellington Railway Station forecourt on October 2.

The ceremony, in its seventh year, will involve a selection of Gandhi’s favourite psalms, and speeches from Wellington mayor Celia Wade-Brown and Attorney-General Chris Finlayson.

Chair of the Mahatma Gandhi Commemoration Committee Nag-inbhai (Neil) Patel says the annual celebration celebrates peace and

non-violence, in honour of the ideals Gandhi lived his life by.

“After the first opening of the statue of Gandhi, me and a group of people continued to hold the event as a way to keep this important celebration going in Wellington.”

Mr Patel pushed for the statue to be erected after a meeting in 1986 and was happy to see it come to fruition in 2007 at an opening by past Govenor General Anand Satyanand.

October 2 is a public holiday in India and is recognised by the UN with the International Day of

Non-Violence.Mr Patel says the celebrations are

open to the public and hopes to see a good turnout from the community.

“He would be one of the three best remembered personalities of the 21st century alongside Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela. He was an infl uential fi gure and it is important to celebrate that.”

The celebration will begin at 2:45pm and fi nish around 4:30pm, taking place in front of Mahatma Gandhi’s statue in the Wellington Railway Station forecourt.

Spring into Fashion and Win!

Vote for your favourite outfi t, and go in the draw to win it. Sept 23rd to 29th


This week the Independent Herald spoke to the six candidates who are running for mayor in this year's Local Government Elections. We asked:

Rob Goulden1. I was Born in London, England ,

educated in India and New Zealand and have lived in Wellington for over 40 years. I have a Masters Degree in Business Administra-tion (Massey University Executive MBA programme). I have worked in Wellington on and off for the last 37 years in varying roles for the following organisations with 25 plus years of management and governance

experience in NZ Police, NZ Army, United Nations (Former Yugoslavia), Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet, Peace Monitoring Group (Bougainville), Tyco International, and the Wellington hospitality indus-try. I was a Wellington City Council-lor for 12 years and I currently work in the health sector.

2.I am standing on five major platforms for election. I would like to see more jobs and business in Wellington by providing incentives for people to come here and through

supporting innovation and creativity. I will also work towards sorting the council’s current fi nancial situation out. I would like to build resilience in the community. I would also like to focus on encouraging all forms of transport including safer routes and cycle ways, as well as work towards a clean pristine environment.

3.I have been living and working in Wellington in the health sector. I have been involved in numerous community activities and events and helping people with problems and

advice. I am involved in voluntary work as justice of the peace and involved with sport as a rugby referee during the winter, coaching, fi shing as a hobby and cycling and walking.

4. I am passionate about Welling-ton. Wellington needs pragmatic leadership and a mayor who has the passion, drive, enthusiasm, knowl-edge, education and experience to do the job and a person who can build a team to make the city thrive and prosper again.

John Morrison1. I am a former New Zealand

cricketer who was elected to Wel-lington City Council in 1998 as the Onslow Western councillor, and have a proven track record of getting things done as recreation, sport and events portfolio holder. I have also made an enormous contribution during my lifetime to the well-being of the citizens of Wellington. This service contributed largely to being awarded

the New Zealand Order of Merit.2. My top priority is an improve-

ment in the quality of life for all Wellingtonians, and we can achieve this with economic growth. There’ll be better job opportunities, better support for local business and outside investment. My second priority is a balanced transport solution. Buses need roads and people need cars. Business people and tourists need direct fl ights. We need an airport extension and free fl owing roads with places to park.

3. I encourage Wellingtonians of all ages to keep fi t and active, and I engage with large-scale events to maintain Wellington’s reputation as the “events capital”. Some of my recent projects include artifi cial turfs at Wellington schools and the build of the ASB indoor Sports Centre in Kilbirnie. Recent event successes include negotiating with the Warriors to play an NRL game at the Stadium, followed closely by the fi rst-ever AFL club game.

4. Wellingtonians have previously

enjoyed a sense of passion, pride and positivity. But in recent years the fi re’s gone out. We need a strong, decisive and effective mayor. Our city’s best days are still ahead of us, but we need to get going again now. I want to enhance Wellington’s reputation as a world class place to live, work and play and continue to contribute to our stunning and healthy natural environ-ment. There’s a better, brighter future for Wellington but it needs someone with my track record of getting things done as mayor.

Karunanidhi Muthu

1. My background is in Interna-tional Business, Law and Investment. I am a family man and a Barrister. I have studied in New Zealand and in England, including at the prestigious University of Oxford.

2. First, economic growth. The others are 1) Review council fi-

nances, reduce debt and cap rates; 2) regional amalgamation for better productivity and effi ciency; 3) Better infrastructure and transport system for future needs while addressing current requirements; 4) World class sea and airport; 5) Livable, safe and connected city; 5) Thriving art and cultural centre; 6) Create a fi lm and media city in the Peninsula and 7) Proactive Earthquake preparedness.

3. I have become a Rotarian and

embarked on getting involved in many of their inspiring community works. I have been attending Ethnica and EPIC events. I have been encour-aging various community leaders to take part in the local elections and hoping to inspire a generation of leaders to come forward and lead our communities and country.

4. My vision for Wellington is to be an inclusive, resilient and vibrant economic powerhouse. We need a

mayor with skills and business acu-men to compete with Auckland and rest of the world. As your mayor, I will lay the foundation for Wellington to be an international fi nancial hub within two decades. I believe I have the passion, qualifi cations, experi-ence and global connections to make our wonderful city even better. So, I request the voters to be brave and make a bold choice by voting 1 for Muthu for mayor and eastern ward.

Celia Wade-Brown

1. I am a director of a successful small Wellington IT consultancy founded in 1985. I’ve worked for IBM and Databank. I became Mayor in 2010, assigning all Councillors responsibility and have led the Smart Capital vision with a strong focus on disaster resilience.

I was born in London and grew up

in a council fl at. I graduated from Nottingham University. I enjoy kay-aking, reading, watching football and theatre. Alastair and I live in Island Bay, with our dog and chickens. We have two adult sons.

2. Good jobs by promoting Wel-lington as a great place to do busi-ness, focussing on our strengths of software, fi lm, education, disaster resilience and design.

More warm dry affordable housing. We’ll upgrade council housing and

lead joint housing projects. Rent-to-buy projects will enable people to get a foot on the property ladder. A WOF will raise the quality of private rentals.

Better transport: Direct long haul fl ights. Bus priority lanes heralding routes for rapid electric transport. Downtown lower speeds and safe cycling routes.

Care for our reserves and coast, planting two million trees by 2020.

3. As well as political leadership

and governance of several Wellington trusts, I’ve opened the new Churton Park Community Centre, planted trees from Tawa to Berhampore, supported Indian, Filipino, Tongan, Scottish and African community events, collected for Wellington Free and The Samaritans, and cleaned up graffi ti in Newtown.

4. Our progressive capital needs modern leadership.

I’m honest, open to new ideas and willing to serve the public.

Jack Yan1. I have degrees from Victoria

University in business, marketing and law. I started my own design business at 15, working with an agency in what was Sturdee Street. That led me to becoming New Zealands fi rst digital typeface designer. I went on to be an early online publisher in 1990, created the fashion title Lucire (New Zealands first commercial online fashion magazine) in 1997,

and helped set up the Medinge Group branding think-tank in Sweden in the 2000s. I’ve always been a bit ahead of the curve.

2. First, we need to grow busi-nesses and jobs. From the start of my campaign in April, I published a manifesto (backjack2013.com), which involves identifying our high-growth fi rms with criteria developed by Victoria University. We also need to build on our innovative and creative sectors. Secondly, we need to engage with every community,

not just special interests, to tap in to our collective potential. Thirdly, I will ensure council is united, and that ratepayers will be able to make us accountable, by issuing a plan for the next triennium before Christmas 2013.

3. I’ve raised funds for CanTeen, collected for the Samaritans, worked for Business Mentors New Zealand (since 2006), acted as a Victoria University Alumni Mentor for one student, worked at the Downtown Community Ministrys annual book

fair, judged Miromoda (which I’ve also done for a few years), and I’m sure there are more!

4. We can’t have politics as usual. I’ve come from the very sectors we say we need to grow. Wellington needs to be a global city, one that’s connected to the top 40 cities in the world, where we share our expertise and show that we are more creative and collaborative, innovative and independent. That’s the vision I have for our world-class city and that’s what Ill achieve for us.

1. What is your background? 2. What are some of the key issues you would like to address? 3. How have you been involved in your local community for the last six months? 4. Why do you believe you should be elected as mayor of Wellington?

Nicola Young1. Born and educated in Wellington.

Worked at The Evening Post as a journalist, then spent 20 years in England where I worked in London's fi nancial markets and raised my fam-ily; returned to Wellington in 1996 where I set up my own company, specialising in political strategy and writing.

2. Economic regeneration, focusing on Wellington's strengths: brainy city, huge potential in Information Communications and Technology & creative sectors & tourism potential as New Zealand's capital; ensuring rates are value-for-money and not wasted on vanity projects like the doomed ‘Alternative Giving’ which cost $40,000 and raised $1000; re-building city's relationship with cen-tral Government; bringing back the

city's spark; improving quality of life in Wellington – parking, including the suburbs; lighting up dark lanes & buildings; better bus and weather shelters; improved bus services; and stopping ‘double-dipping’ by coun-cillors taking second salaries when appointed to Council-Controlled Organisations.

3. Door-knocking and meeting voters; writing articles about Wel-lington for Tommy's magazine;

active participant in city’s arts and heritage sector (including Mount Street Cemetery's restoration); writ-ing community newsletter for my apartment complex. (31 words)

4. I can provide strong leadership, common sense, decisiveness, po-litical nous, fl air, energy, enthusiasm, new ideas and have a history of building relationships.

For many of us, wounds are a common part of everyday life, with accidents leading to cuts and scratches, grazes, lacerations, blisters and sometimes burns.

These can happen no matter how careful we are or how organised our homes or workplaces can be.

A wound occurs when a physical injury to the body breaks the skin or a mucous membrane.

The body responds immediately and begins repairing the wound with the skin closing up and trying to return to normal as soon as possible.

The time of repair may only be needed for a very short time and last for a matter of days or it may need to continue for weeks and months, depending on the type and size of the injury.

In the past many wounds have been “fi xed” with a plaster, the multipurpose plastic dressing strip.

These are fi ne for small scratches and cuts but there are now many more dressings available for the different types of wounds that can occur.

In the past it was believed that wounds should be kept dry but now it is recom-mended that to help a wound heal well it should be kept moist.

This is because a moist wound environment allows the skin cells to grow more quickly, thus healing and returning to normal in much less time.

The aim of wound care is to stop any

bleeding, prevent infection and to restore the health of the tissue.

With any wound once any bleeding is stopped it needs to be cleaned.

If it is already a clean wound then warm running water or gauze soaked in saline is appropriate to be used.

Next dry the area and apply the dressing. However if the wound is unclean and is

contaminated with any dirt, gravel or foreign bodies then these need to be removed so that the wound does not become infected.

It is necessary in these cases to use an antiseptic to wash the area and remove unwanted particles and debris.

It is important to try and prevent infection from occurring but if the area of the wound becomes swollen, red, hot and angry then it may be infected and you will need to see your doctor regarding antibiotics.

Wounds caused by burns may occur due to sunlight, fl ames from fi re, scalds, chemical or electrical sources.

The affected area must be cooled immedi-ately under cold running tap water for at least 20 to 30 minutes.

The use of ice is not recommended in these cases.

Burns can be superfi cial affecting only the top surface layer of skin or can be much more serious affecting many layers of tissues.

Blisters should not be burst and fat, lotions or ointments should be avoided.

There are a number of life style factors that can help with wound healing such as 1) diet

Wound care2) exercise 3) medication 4) dressing type

5) warmth. Your diet can affect the speed of the healing

process. Foods associated with wound healing are

protein, Vitamin C and Vitamin A and zinc and a diet enriched with these components in your diet can enhance wound healing.

Regular exercise increases blood flow, improves general health and also speeds wound healing.

Medication that affects wound healing includes anti-infl ammatory drugs as these can interfere with the body’s natural healing process and hamper the action of immune system cells.

Talk to your pharmacist about your medica-tion to see if any that you are prescribed will hinder wound healing.

Wounds that are dressed and kept warm heal faster. Dressings also need to be kept clean and changed every few days or as often as necessary.

See your Self Care pharmacist about the many types of dressings that are available and the most appropriate one for a particular wound or your fi rst aid kit.

Also ask for the Pharmacy Self Care “Wound Care” card to take home and share with the family.

The family of Amanda Taufale will not be put through a trial following a guilty plea from the man accused of her murder.

In Wellington High Court last Tuesday, 39-year-old Ernest Smith pleaded guilty to murdering Ms Taufale on November 14 last year.

Smith hid in the roof space of Ms Taufale’s Tawa residence for eight hours before lowering himself down, sneaking into her

room and cutting her throat with a craft knife.

In a statement released by Kapiti-Mana Police, on behalf of Amanda’s father and family spokesperson Graham Redman, the fam-ily expressed their “huge relief” with the guilty plea.

“This had fi nally put to rest our fears of attending a trial and reliving the tragic events of last November,” they say.

“We will be eternally grateful for the tremendous

support we have received from the Police, Victim Support, Mandy’s work colleagues and friends and our own friends and wider family.”

The family says the guilty plea will enable them to move on with putting their lives back together and would appreciate some privacy while they attempt to do so.

Smith will be sentenced in Wellington High Court on October 23.

Guilty plea a “huge relief” for Tawa family

Residents at Enliven’s Huntleigh Home in Karori are full of the joys of spring.

The residents have been making the most of the brighter days, and getting out and about as often as possible.

“We had a lovely day out at the Botanical Gardens last week” says resident Gabrielle. “The bulbs are all fl owering and eve-rything is looking so much more cheery now winter is over.”

Recreation Offi cer Gwen Esler says that the residents have also been enjoying some time in the garden.

“We’ve been rolling up our sleeves and getting the garden ready for summer by sowing seeds. It’s important for our residents to make their own con-tribution to Huntleigh Home – it will be very rewarding for them when their fl owers bloom.”

Gwen says that the homes varied recreation programme means that there is always something to do, whether it is an outing, arts and crafts, baking, music or light exercise. Daily crosswords, board games and craft activities, along with weekly Tai Chi exercise classes are often on the agenda.

Being qualifi ed in the building industry is all about being recognised for the skills that you bring to the job.

The building industry talks about qualifi -cations as being competency based – what that means is that at the completion of your qualification you will be competent to perform as a qualifi ed tradesmen in your specifi c area.

The qualification is simply the rubber stamp to say to everyone – yes you can do the job.

The BCITO will allocate you with a Train-ing Advisor who will manage your progress through the qualifi cation.

All Training Advisors are tradesmen who are committed to helping people progress through to achieving their qualifi cation.

They do more than just assessing compe-tence – they are advising and coaching the best way to approach tasks and workload and with your employer they make up the coaching team.

Completing qualifi cations will not be easy and there may be times when you simply want to give up.

At the BCITO so many young people achieving their qualifi cations and going on to live their dreams that were encourage to always stay focussed and keep striving for their goals.

A qualifi cation with the BCITO is not the

end goal – it is an important step to your career and personal satisfaction.

What apprenticeships are right for you?An apprentice is somebody who works

under a skilled professional in order to learn a trade and become qualifi ed in it.

There are apprenticeships in almost every different area of the building and construc-tion industry.

Which apprenticeship is right for you will depend on your interests, your experience and the opportunities in your region.

Apprenticeships are based on compe-tency – it’s all about learning on the job and demonstrating you have the knowledge and skill to complete a task.

This means apprenticeships take no more or less time than it takes for you to show you can demonstrate your skill to a commercial standard.

What are my next steps?The key step is to fi nd an employer who is

prepared to take you on as an Apprentice.Once you have approval from your em-

ployer to begin an apprenticeship please contact the BCITO on 0800 422 486.

We will arrange for a BCITO representa-tive to visit you and your employer.

The representative will explain how the apprenticeship works and complete the necessary paperwork to get you started.

Build a career in building

New Zealand with its windy moist marine environment, fl uctuating temperatures, earthquakes and a tradition of timber framed resi-dences has suffered from a legacy of cracked plastered cladding on Monolithic homes.

With the change in the construc-tion industry from the traditional architect-master builder to a rush of speculators focused on realis-ing quick profi ts the New Zealand housing stock suffered a further signifi cant number of failures.

Researching the vigorous de-mands of remedial work, the technical staff at Sto in Germany developed the StoArmat reinforce-ment plaster incorporating in-novative technology to provide fl exibility and impact resistance packaged into a ready to use pail.

Using this pail approach a com-prehensive range of Stolit coloured fi nishing renders complement the Sto Armat plaster system allowing the home owner to refurbish and modernise their exterior cladding.

’s CO2 and greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise steeply, as forest owners convert carbon-sink forests to high-emissions dairy farming, and road transport emissions increase unabated. Forest planting in NZ has diminished dramatically as NZ’s carbon emissions trading scheme (ETS) has proved to be a failure. Dairy produces methane, a greenhouse gas 22 times aspotent as CO2.Road transport emissions have increased by 63% from 1990-2012. Policies supporting the “active modes” of cycling and walking, plus lower urban speed limits, electric cars, use of trains and shipping for freight, and excellent, a�ordable public transport in our cities would greatly reduce these road transportemissions.

Negative Results: forest planting

Increasing: emissions up in all sectors; transport by 63%

ncreasing global average temperatures are causingextreme weather events, melting glaciers and ice

species extinctions, and leaving millions of people homeless annually. As carbon in the atmosphere

in millions of years, earlier hopes of restricting thetemperature rise to 2 have given way to predictions of more than 4 and possible run-away temperatureincreases. Sea levels would rise by 6m if the Greenland ice sheet melts; 8m for the West Antarctic; and over 80m if all glaciers and ice sheets melt.

UN Security Council, Feb 2013:“The current trend towards a4 temperature rise will have

devastating consequences”

World Bank’s Pottsdam Report:“The 4 scenarios are devastating”

Cities can play an important role in emissions reductions Sunlight pours energy onto our rooftops every day. For a sunny roof, installing solar water heating pays for itself within a few years. Even in Welling-ton, new heat-transfer technologies mean lower power bills while the system pays itself o� over time. Solar PV panels generating power can be connected to a household electrical system, and surplus power sold back through a two-way meter to the electricity grid.

Improved insulation and double glazing are standard for new buildings, and most older homes

sensible additions for older buildings. New buildings can now go a step further; at construc-tion phase they are sealed almost airtight, so no heat escapes, and air is conditioned and circulated via a controlled and piped venting system. The building should be oriented towards the sun; windows facing north. The result is a house that needs minimal energy to heat, and has fresh air at all times; warm, dry, and healthy.

WCC candidate Martin Wilson was born and raised in Onslow ward. He is standing on a platform of “Climate Action”, in response to the urgent need for all developed communitiesworld-wide to reduce their GHG(greenhouse gas) emissions, and eventually return the climate to a stable state. Wilson is an events manager, producing the annual Khandallah Village Fair and the Karori Fair Day, as well as Birdman Wellington and other events. He also coaches youth sport, being a keen ultimate frisbee player. Wilson has completed numerous degrees, including economics, public policy, psychology and commercial law. “Cities world-wide are leading the way in reducing emissions and building cleaner, quieter, healthier and more people-friendly environments” says Wilson. He has a particular interest in community groups and democacy, and feels grass-roots and participatory democracy needs a stronger, and probably a more organised, voice. “Central govts focus on economic wealth, and being re-elected; cities can focus on the health and strength of their communities and people. This includes a shared interest in preserving a stable climate, as we are all a�ected by that; especially the poor. ” If elected, Wilson will run community forums in communities, ensuring people can participate and have their say on local issues.

any countries are reducing their emissions. Some

sea levels, are switching to 100% renewable energy. The construction and installation of clean green energy, such as solar panels and wind farms, is a world-wide boom industry, with huge growth. Energy companies already have 5 times the reservesof fuels allowed to stay within the internationally agreed emissions limits. More oil is just not needed.

Study Art and Design at Massey University Wellington


By Robert JohnsonAround 1000 red and black arms

were raised into the air at Raroa Intermediate last Wednesday in a showing of support for Team New Zealand.

Students gathered in the school hall for assembly but instead of the usual routine, they bellowed the national anthem and executed their unique display of support.

Raroa Sports Journalism Enrich-ment student Louis Alexander says

about 80 per cent of the school participated and every one of them had a great time.

“It was pretty cool to see every-one dressing up in black and red and really getting on board. It’s the fi rst time we’ve done anything like this.

“Everyone at the school has been talking about the America’s Cup,” he says.

Teacher Matt Tilley came up with the idea and Alexander says a

video was also taken of the whole event.

“We recorded the whole thing which involved everyone swaying side-to-side and showing their socks. It’s going to be posted on Team New Zealand’s Facebook page to show our support,” he says.

As for the predicted result, Alex-ander says it is simple.

“It’s looking pretty good for them at the moment, they should take it out.”

Showing their support

Kids love the feeling of cold spaghetti, especially babies!

Spaghetti play is a great activity for de-veloping sensory awareness and fi ne motor control. It's also lots of fun for kids so get creative and make some coloured spagetti.

Directions:Over cook some long spaghetti, drain

and rinse under cold water and allow it to dry over about an hour and shake apart regularly.

Separate spaghetti into three or four piles and put into plastic bags with a few drops of food colouring.

Shake the bags of pasta until the colour has been soaked up by the spaghetti.

Set it aside on a large tray but regularly shake it apart to avoid it all sticking together in one clumpy mess.

Lay down a towel, place the spaghetti tray infront of the kids and let the fun begin.

Great for idle moments, this idea of coloured bub-bles in a bottle provides long-lasting amusement for young children.

What you’ll need: Three clear plastic wa-

ter bottles with caps Tempera paint in three

different colors

Bubble bath Duct tapeGet StartedFill each bottle halfway

with water. Add one spoon-ful of paint and one of bubble bath.

Glue the inside of each cap and seal them tightly.

Secure them with duct

tape.Show your child how to

shake the bottle up and down and watch the vibrant bubbles come to life!

Bonus: Baby not crawling just yet?

Give them incentive to get moving by putting a bottle just slightly out of her reach.

By Robert JohnsonKarori’s favourite fi sh and chip shop has topped off a four year rejuvenation after receiving a highly commended award at the 2013 Best Chip Shop competition.Corfu Seafoods, run by Theo Kalantzis and his family, were the only fi sh and chip shop in Wellington to take home an award.Its chips were laboratory-tested and found to have less than nine per cent fat, before being taste tested and deemed worthy of a highly commended award.Theo says he bought the business back four years ago after realizing it needed a lift to regain its title as the best fi sh and chip shop in Wellington.“It’s one of my favourite shops and because I love Karori, I felt they deserved to have the best fi sh and chip shop. I’m really happy with the award and it tops off the progress we have made over the past four years.”When asked what the secret to producing the best fi sh and chips is, Theo says it is quite simple.“I have over 25 years’ experience in the seafood industry and knowledge is huge. You learn the products through using them every day. I know exactly what is going

on and what works,” he smiles.Corfu Seafoods has a number of differences that sets it apart from the rest.Corfu offers its customers the option to dine-in as well as the traditional take-away, something that has proved quite popular.“Nothing beats fresh, piping hot fi sh and chips straight out of the fryer,” says Theo.Freshness is the key to success and Theo lives by this motto, getting up every morning to hand-fi llet the daily delivery of fi sh, coming straight from t h e sea and onto the plate of his loyal customers.Since taking the business back four years ago, in addition to their low-fat traditional fi sh and chips, Corfu has added a variety of other foods to satisfy the hunger of Wellington.“We have great gourmet burgers, fresh oysters and mussels, our special marinated calamari and our secret-recipe fried chicken.”

Theo Kalantzis accepts award for “Best Fish & Chips

in Wellington”.


A tripod on the hills near Wadestown has drawn attention, after scrub was cleared re-cently, allowing a clear view of the 8m high fi xture.

However few a re aware of the interest-ing history behind the fi xture, located on pri-vate land below Sefton Street in Wadestown. It was firmly fixed in 2011 for a specifi c purpose.

Former Wadestown resident Denis O`Neill erected it as a memory to his wife, Catherine Jones, who suffered f r om A l z he i mer s

for many years, and passed away in 2011.

This year would have been the 50th anniver-sary of their marriage.

“It’s a monument to our marriage – the three supports repre-sent the three parties to the marriage – myself, my wife and God – and merges into one at the top,” he says.

Mr O`Neill recently cleared away the scrub so the tripod could be viewed from the Ngaio Gorge.

He says it is near a 1.2 hectare area of land he gifted to the city of Wellington in 2011.

Tower puzzles locals

He had a track cut down to the tripod monument and thought it may be fea-sible to continue the track down to the valley below, crossing the railway line above the tunnel down for the rail loop. However the lower end of the valley is

extremely steep. The tripod, however, is

rock solid.“The base of the tripod

has a strong fi xture, rep-resenting the marriage’s strong foundation,” Mr O`Neill says.

By Dave CramptonA Churton Park playgroup

is growing so fast it is look-ing for more people to assist the fi ve adults who run the group.

Playsense attracts up to 90 children and their caregivers from Titahi Bay to Khandal-lah.

“We re getting really popu-lar now,” play practitioner Poornima Ranchhod says.

Mrs Ranchhod initiated Playsense in February after arriving back in New Zea-land from London.

She has a passion for help-ing and supporting families.

“We exist to give all chil-dren the best start in life to help them achieve their full potential and aim to enhance opportunities of play, devel-opment and wellbeing for children and their families," she says.

“I just love helping families

and kids”.Playsense for pre-schoolers

has been running at Ames-bury School at 9:30am each Thursday school during term time, with a 10am babies group on the fi rst Tuesday of each month at the Churton Park Community Centre.

New World in Churton Park provides food, tea and coffee, and play equipment is stored at the school.

The Ministry of Education has provided some funding for the growing group since April.

The focus is on activities that are fun, educational, creative, and interactive, with an emphasis on involv-ing both parent and child.

Cost is $6.00 per child or $8.00 for a family which covers hall hireage, public liability insurance and activi-ties. However, those under one attend free.

Johnsonville resident Natasha Beddie, who has attended both groups since July with her pre-schoolers, says Playsense is both fantastic and impressive.

“It’s nice and calm, and excit-ing – it has a large range of activities,”she says.

A qualifi ed play therapist, Mrs

Ranchhod utilises play to assist children to explore their experi-ences and feelings in a natural, self-guided process.

She says she is keen to start up a similar group in Newlands, as well as a group focusing on children with disabilities.

Jackson Woodcock (8 months) & Odele King-sford (mum) enjoy the Early Learning Baby Group for babies at Churton Park Commu-nity Centre.

Playgroup vastly growing

By Robert JohnsonA group of local dancers took

to the stage for their bi-annual demonstration and choreography competition held to raise funds for Wellington Free Ambulance.

Students from Karori’s Jennifer Evans Academy of Dance per-formed ballet, tap and hip-hop dances for the crowd gathered at the Memorial Theatre in Kelburn on September 8.

Judging the competition was Shayne Rumbal, a former member of the Royal New Zealand Ballet, as well as Wellington Free Ambu-lance’s fundraising manager Tony Fitzgerald, who judged the audi-ence’s choice based on audience claps and cheers.

Academy director Jennifer Evans says the event allowed the girls

to extend their skills and help the community in the process.

“They worked on their perfor-mance for the whole term. It was fantastic to see them take it from the studio to the stage and gain valuable experience.

“The competition was very popu-lar with all of the parents in the crowd.”

Bria Renai was awarded fi rst place in the competition after an impres-sive performance.

Ms Evans also arranged a raffl e which included generous prizes do-nated by a number of local Marsden Village businesses and a special guest to draw the winning ticket.

“We were lucky to have Mayor Celia Wade-Brown come along to the event and draw the winning ticket on stage,” she says. Winner Bria Renai and Lucy Brow after their ballet

Dance raises funds


By Robert JohnsonA Karori local is living

proof that, with a little sup-port, you can still lead a wholesome life despite the challenges that arthritis poses.

Arthritis New Zealand is holding its annual Street Day Appeal this Friday to raise funds and awareness around the condition that

affects over 500,000 New Zealanders.

Alan Henwood, a lawyer and President of Arthritis New Zealand, discovered he had osteoarthritis in his 40s after visiting his GP.

He had pulled his calf mus-cle four times while training for a marathon and X-rays confi rmed he had the condi-tion in both hips.

“It’s important to educate yourself about the physi-ological impact of arthritis. If you are feeling pain, your body will compensate and it can change the way you walk and your posture, making the situation worse,” he says. “In my case, to take strain off my hips, I put more on my calves.”

However, after having a hip replacement, Alan is still able to enjoy various activities such as gardening and golf.

“The absence of pain is a revelation. My advice is not to postpone surgery if

you can. “There’s no guarantee it

will improve your golf. You will probably have to change your swing but that might not be a bad thing,” he laughs.

An estimated 305,000 Ki-wis live with osteoarthritis and describe the pain as “having jagged pieces of broken glass in your joints”.

Arthritis New Zealand is a national voluntary organisa-tion which provides support services such as water-based exercise and funding research into arthritis, its causes and treatment options.

Aside from some govern-ment funding, Arthritis New Zealand runs predominantly on public donations to ensure support is available for those who need it.

Volunteers will be on the streets of Wellington collect-ing this Friday and donations can also be made online at arthritis.org.nz

By Robert JohnsonA local Wellington man has

taken it upon himself to give back to charity through collect-ing and recycling e-waste as part of a new venture.

Daniel Talbot started his busi-ness, Recycling for Charity, in October last year as a way to give back to the community.

Recycling for Charity works through the collection of e-waste such as computers, laptops, key-boards, motherboards and hard drives, which are then recycled and a share of the profi ts go to various charities.

Any information within the computers is destroyed before being recycled.

Mr Talbot, who also started the book auction site sellabook.co.nz, works as a truck driver for SaveMart’s textile recycling centre and saw a large volume of e-waste being deposited.

“I thought ‘I have to stop this from going to the tip’ and had a think about recycling it’.”

He talked to his friend in Eng-land who runs a similar opera-tion and within a few months, was already donating to charities such as Mary Potter Hospice,

SPCA and Life Flight.Since beginning last October,

he has already given around $1000 to charity and hopes this will only increase.

“I’m pretty happy with it, it’s a good start and shows the idea has merit.”

The next step for Mr Talbot is getting the buy-in from more charities and businesses in Wel-lington who have e-waste they want to get rid of.

“The more stuff I get to recycle, the more I can give back to char-ity. Support from just a few extra businesses would make all the

difference.”Businesses who wish to recycle

their e-waste can arrange a time for Mr Talbot to pick up the items and can also nominate a charity for the money to go to through a unique ‘referral system’.

Interested businesses and charities can fi nd out more via recyclingforcharity.co.nz, on their Facebook page or by call-ing Daniel on 021526445.

Waste not, want not

Arthritis New Zealand president and osteoarthritis suff erer Alan Henwood speaks about living with the condition.

By Dave CramptonMore local school kids will have ac-

cess to sport, thanks to a $30,000 grant from The Lion Foundation.

The grant means that the KiwiSport Fundamentals Project, which operates sports programmes in schools through-out the region, can be offered to more students.

The programmes, administered through the Hutt City Council, increases sporting opportunities for school-aged children, teaching skills they need to do play sport successfully.

Terri-Ann Coltham, who coordinates sport at Khandallah School, says half of the school’s 400 students each had three swimming lessons this year as part of the programme. The lessons were run at Khandallah swimming pool in conjunction with the Easyswim School.

“It was really successful – we didn’t have to pay anything. It was amazing,” she said. “(Easyswim) just came in and set it up.”

Some of the children have subse-quently taken further lessons, Ms Coltham says.

Mike Mercer, the council’s sport relationship manager, says more than 26,000 students over 100 schools can now benefi t from the programme.

“Being able to increase the availability and accessibility of sport opportunities for school-aged children really benefi ts the whole community because active kids are fi tter and healthier,” he says.

Since the KiwiSport Fundamentals Project began in 2009, more than 42,000 students across the Greater Wellington region have taken part in one or more of the programmes.

Kiwisport continues thanks to grant

Johnsonville Neighbourhood WatchJohnsonville Neighbourhood Watch

Eye on CrimewithThere was a pleasing drop in the

number of reported offences dur-ing the past week with only three burglaries and four vehicle offences, including a stolen car.

In Johnsonville, an insecure garden shed was entered and two weed eaters were stolen while a sub-station in Crofton Downs had its padlocks cut with an angle grinder but thanks to intruder alarms, no entry was gained.

A green Toyota was stolen from

Turville Crescent in Newlands.In Woodridge Drive a front registra-

tion plate was taken from a green Mazda.

A GPS unit, coins and a wallet containing a driver’s licence were among the items taken from various car break-ins in Newlands.

On a positive note, there were no reports of crime in either Khandallah or Ngaio during the past week.

Burglaries are becoming a worry

and while a determined burglar can usually break in despite security precautions, they prefer to look for easier options.

Installing good locks and bolts on doors, windows and ranchsliders, supported by an efficient intruder alarm, will frustrate them

To be safe, always follow the golden rule, “lock it or lose it”.

Stay safe

been an enjoyable experience and my family are loving it here. The kids have settled into school and Saturday is manic with football,rugby and swimming. There’s so much happening around the city and Jane and I are enjoying getting to know the place a bit better.One thing that’s really cool is being able to go for abush walk and not leave the city.

23Wednesday September 25, 2013SPORT

By Robert JohnsonHundreds of throw-downs

in the backyard have paid off for a Tawa College student following his selection for the national under-20 indoor cricket squad.

Year 13 student Daniel Rose found out about his selection after his Wellington under-20 side beat Canterbury in the fi nal of the provincial cham-pionships in July.

“I was really happy to be selected, it’s awesome. I was quietly confi dent I would get a spot after being selected for the under-17 team that toured South Africa last year but under-20 will be a tougher challenge.”

Despite being just 17-years-old, Rose has over 10 years c r icket ing exper ience, including big tournament experience in the national Super League with the Hutt Indoor Sports club and his trip to the Junior World Se-ries in South Africa last year—where he topped the overall tournament statistics and was part of the team that beat Australia in the fi nal.

Rose admits he has a bit of work to do in order to secure one of the 12 places that will attend the under-20 World Cup in Petone next year.

“I need to work on my bat-ting for sure, it’s probably my weakness. Being one of the

youngest players in the squad means I’ll just have to work harder to secure a spot.”

Motivating himself will not be a problem though, with Rose and his younger brother having built their own cricket net in their backyard to stay on top of their game.

Rose says the speed and skill involved in the sport makes it interesting.

“I love the speed and in-volvement of indoor cricket, there’s never a dull moment standing around in the fi eld.”

Rose will attend train-ing camps early next year and play in the Provincials, where the fi nal World Cup squad will be named.

Rose eyes World Cup spot

By Robert JohnsonA crowd of almost 100 par-

ents and students enjoyed the sunshine and skills on display at the inaugural 14th Grade football derby between New-lands College and Onslow at Raroa Park.

Last Wednesday’s game featured talented year nine and 10 students in a fi xture that both coaches would like to see become a yearly fi xture.

Onslow team manager Mi-chael McCarthy says he and co-manager Lance Goodwin had the idea to run the junior match and provide opportuni-ties to groom future talent for

the College’s top teams.Onslow College are sending

a under-14 club team to a Taupo tournament later this year so Wednesday’s game was used as a chance to trial players and get unfamiliar players to gel with each other, McCarthy says.

“We have about 18 players today so it’s more about get-ting them to work together as opposed to winning.”

The game was a tight affair in the fi rst half, with Onslow limited to long-range efforts thanks to a resolute Newlands defence.

After a brief half-time break

where both teams went in at nil-all, the fl oodgates opened in the second half.

Newlands striker Danny Chafe latched onto a long-ball and cooly slotted it under the Onslow goalkeeper to open the scoring.

Shortly after, Chafe doubled Newlands’ lead with a cool back post fi nish after an im-pressive cross from out wide.

An individual effort from captain-of-the-day Matty Cull and a corner that was curled in put the result beyond doubt for Newlands at 4-0.

Onslow pulled one back just before full-time but the game

was well over by then with Newlands taking the contest 4-1.

Newlands College caretaker coach Alo Ashby, from Col-lege Sport Wellington, says he was happy with his team’s efforts.

“Our performance in the fi rst half to keep them scoreless when they had a wind and sun advantage was great. I knew we would have the advantage in the second half and it proved correct.”

Both teams enjoyed the mid-week derby and hope the idea will continue and become a set fi xture each year.

You can happily motor around for the rest of 2013 in New Zealand’s favourite supermini without having to worry about clocking up the kilometres. Because come January, you can simply bring back your 2013 Swift and the only extra you’ll have to pay is the on road costs to drive away in a brand new 2014 registered Swift.
