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 1His mother, Shelley Mumu, said baseball was not a

very popular sport in New Zealand and most teams were based in Auckland.

She said Tane had a fi ve day trial in Auckland to make the international squad which would play teams from all over the world.

Tane said he had wanted to play baseball for the better opportunities which would come from the sport.

He said he felt pretty good after making an inter-national squad after playing one season of baseball.

He was pretty rapt. Not many kids from Wainuio-mata get this sort of opportunity, Shelly said.

Shelley and Tane said there was currently a Give a Little page in operation to help fundraise for Tanes trip overseas.

The page was set up by Shelley and Neil Mumu as there was no funding provided to get Tane to Maryland.

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity, Shelley and Neil said on the Give a Little page.

Its fi nally time to get the elec-tric blanket out as winter has fi nally arrived in Wainuiomata after months of warm weather.

Residents felt the winter chill at the weekend as the tempera-tures plummeted in Wellington and took to social media to ac-knowledge winter had fi nally arrived.

The MetService website stated the temperature dropped to 2 degrees Celsius in some

parts of Wainuiomata early on Sunday and Monday mornings and snow dusted the tops of the Rimutakas.

Lower Hutt hit 3 degrees Celsius and Wellington had a low of 5 degrees Celsius.

The website said Wainuio-mata could expect lows of down to 9 degrees Celsius overnight throughout this week.

A local girl has decided to take on the guys and service cars around the valley.

Louise Ludlow, 17, has been doing work experience at Dave Smith Motors for the past fortnight as she trains to become a mechanic.

She said servicing cars was something she had always wanted to do and the work experience had been really good so far.

I love it, Louise said.Louise said she was the only

girl currently doing her course and would love to see other girls give it a go.

Owner, Dave Smith, said he has had two or three girls

do work experience with him over the years and a couple were still in the trade.

Louise and Dave agreed the work at Dave Smith Motors was different to what she had already experienced as part of her course at G&H Training.

At course its all theory but this is all practical. Every-thing they do I do, like they will do one side and then I will do the other, Louise said.

Dave said Louise had been a really good member of the team.

Its been good providing her with an opportunity. So far weve been getting her used to the hands-on work but were getting there, he said.

Wainuiomata Community Patrol members were recog-nised for their hard work at the weekend after a ceremony at the CPNZ Wellington District AGM.

The patrol won the award for the most hours worked per person in 2015.

The Wainuiomata Community Patrol is made up of eight to nine fully trained members and a few trainees.

Paul Knox, Wainuiomata Community Patrol coordinator, said the group was the eyes and ears for police in Wainuiomata.

The volunteers take turns patrolling the streets looking for suspicious activity two to three nights a week.

The Wainuiomata News joined Paul and Tracey Mans-fi eld on a patrol at the weekend to discover how they operate.

The pair said they drove around looking for areas of issue in Wainuiomata.

Win for community patrol

They said for the most part issues were with naughty kids looking to tag, drink and cause general mischief.

Tracey said after 11 years of patrolling you just sort of know whether people were up to no good on the street.

I think for the most part Wai-

nui is quite safe on the streets, she said.

Ninety nine per cent of the community supports us, said Paul.

The pair said they had a good relationship with the police, who were always open to coming over to Wainuiomata in case

of strife.The good thing is if were in

trouble theyve always got our backs, Tracey said.

Wainuiomata High Schools top athletes were recognised for their achievements throughout the year at last weeks 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 Sports 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 years 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 birds nest.

Also called the bronze shining cuckoo, scientifi c name Chryso-coccyx lucidas, or in Maori the PipiWharauroa, this sparrow-sized bird is usually not seen due to its cryptic markings and its size. Its New Zealands 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 its 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 couldnt 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

A local man had a surprise earlier this month when a gust of wind blew over a 50 foot

tall pine tree at his home in the village.

Bob Sewell and his neigh-bours had a lucky escape as due to the direction of the fall

the tree missed doing a great deal of damage to either house.

The tree fell across the boundary line of Bob and his neighbours sections, crush-

Tree takes a hit in storm

STORM HITS: The tree which fell down on Bob Sewells property

ing the fence and shed in his neighbours property.

Bob said he thought the tree may have fallen in the early hours of the Friday morning following the storm a fortnight ago, however he did not hear the tree come down and neither did his neighbours.

Bob said he believed the tree may have been struck by a freak gust of wind which up-rooted the tree from the ground.

He said he had been using the tree as part of his mountain ra-dio business since 1977 to hang communication aerials off.

I dont think the roots were particularly deep. The tree didnt fail. It was the ground that failed, he said.

Bob said he had the oppor-tunity to have the tree felled a while ago but turned it down.

Its my only regret, he said.

Children across the Hutt Val-ley will have the opportunity to experiment and learn in laboratories thanks to Hands on Hutt Science.

As part of the Hutt City Council-led initiative class-rooms in some schools will be made into laboratories for children to experiment and learn just like working scientists.

The initiative won a $30,000 grant from the Unlocking Curious Minds Fund earlier this month which will fund the project.

It will be run in low decile primary and intermediate

schools as a classroom is turned into a laboratory, ena-bling children to experiment as working scientists.

It will be complemented by afterschool programmes for the students.

The focus will be on practical experiments and the chance for children to meet scientists from institutions and compa-nies in the Hutt Valley.

Director Anne Ryan said $30,000 was a signifi cant boost for Hutt Science and meant it would reach more children with Hands on Hutt Science.

Our goal is to get young people in Lower Hutt from

every background to embrace science and technology, meet scientists and consider science as a career, she said.

Its fantastic to have support from the Un-locking Curious Minds Fund and the recognition that Hutt Sci-ence is making a difference to young peo-ples lives.

A local woman is encouraging people to get prepared for an emergency and stock up on water.

Deborah McIvor said she was inspired to begin campaigning for better water storage following the Christchurch Earthquakes.

She said residents had to prepare adequate water storage for their household in case a disaster hap-pens in Wellington.

Wainuiomata could go for days without water. Were going to have to be self-suffi cient, she said.

Deborah said 200L water tanks were available for $105 from the Wainuiomata Library but residents would need to pre-order them fi rst.

What price do you put on being prepared?

She said she had made a sub-mission to council regarding the water tanks being made free for households.

Most people want to live in a community where theyre valued and cared for, she said.

Council heard annual plan sub-missions last week.

Final decisions will be made regarding individual submissions will be made in early June. For more information on pre-paring for emergencies head to www.getprepared.org.nz

Are you prepared?

Youth Week kicked off at the weekend with a special scavenger hunt and colouring in session at the Wainuiomata Library.

Children and Teens Librarian, Alexia Herrera said the scavenger hunt had been reasonably popular with children and teenagers pop-ping in to the library throughout the day to take part.

There will be activities for youth week happening until Sunday in the community hub.

On Wednesday the youth from TiHei Rangatahi will be perform-ing an acoustic set at the Wainuio-mata Library ahead of their album launch on Friday.

Thursday will mark the launch of the Teen Suggestion Panel.

The panel aims to give youth the opportunity to have their say on what the library provides for young people as well as a chance to get to

know others with similar interests.On Friday the Hub will be host-

ing a Youth Expo which will give the opportunity for the different services available at the hub to advertise themselves to youth.

Youth Week will fi nish on Sun-day, May 29 after a weekend of origami and dot to dot at the library. For dates and times of events visit the Wainuiomata Community Hub or head to facebook.com/huttcitylibraries.

Dear Ed, If Mr Wallace and Deputy Mayor Bassett think it is good enough to add 90 new houses because we have good facilities for families what are they? Where are they? Time they took a good look at Wainui. Do they live in some sort of cloud in the sky? Time they started thinking of upgrading the Facilities. Where are the shops? Where are they going to do their shop-ping? There are certainly no facilities

down Wise Street unless that is where they plan to put the bottle store. What happened to the upgrading of the Mall? Get off your backsides and out of your high offi ces and use your brains and stop always labelling Wainui in the cheap category. We have a lot of good people here treat us right. Make it the great place it used to be.

Hutt Valley residents only have a couple of days left to nominate volunteers for the Hutt City Council Civic Awards.

The annual awards have two categories, Voluntary Community Service for out-standing, long-term voluntary community service and Youth Service, for outstanding voluntary community service by those aged 15 to 25.

Lower Hutt Mayor Ray Wallace said the awards were an acknowledgement of outstanding people, who are often so modest about their contribution to our community so it is a wonderful opportunity to be able to thank them.

Last year we celebrated the incredible work of Bob Rowell, Star Olsen, Eileen Curry, Bill Sharp, Dylan Singh and Thomas Maharaj.

We know that this year there are some equally deserving volunteers out there, who deserve to be recognised for their devotion to the community.

If you know any unsung heroes in either category, please fill out a nomination form available from Council, any of our libraries, or our website at huttcity.govt.nz/civicawards. Nominations close 5pm on Friday, May 27 for this years Hutt City Council Civic Awards.

WELLINGTON WESTPAC STADIUM JUNE 4 6th 2016


8 Wednesday May 25, 2016

Four projects from Hutt Valley organisa-tions have been successful in the 2016 Unlocking Curious Minds contestable fund announced this week by Science and Innovation Minister Steven Joyce.

The fund, launched in 2015, delivers science and technology experiences for young people and communities through-out New Zealand.

Lower Hutt based GNS Science was awarded funding for three different projects, while the Hutt City Council was funded to deliver a Hands On Hutt Science programme.

The projects at GNS include Action Planet, a hands-on approach to help youth with learning disabilities learn about Planet Earth, Sensors in schools, a project to measure air quality inside schools throughout the Hutt Valley, and Dinosaur Footprints, a collaboration with Collingwood Area School in Takaka.

The Hutt City Council has been awarded funding for Hands on Hutt Science, a project that transforms the classroom into a laboratory with children working as scientists.

National List MP in the Hutt Valley, Chris Bishop, said the successful projects from GNS Science and the Hutt City Council demonstrate the capacity for the Hutt Valley to become a centre for technology, science and innovation in New Zealand.

The success of these applicants refl ects the growing status of the Hutt Valley as a leader in technology and science in New Zealand, he said.

The four successful projects will de-

velop the curiosity of young people in the Hutt and in other parts of New Zealand.

Their creativity in reaching young people that have limited opportunities to engage with science and technology will be the catalyst for turning the Hutt Valley into Technology Valley.

On Monday I held a public meeting bringing together a number of industry and community leaders, along with experts and innovators to discuss how we can transform the Hutt Valley into Technology Valley. High on the agenda was the success of these projects along with previous successful applications.

The success of the 2016 funding round follows the successful award of funding to Koraunui Primary School in 2015. The Hutt Valley really is leading the way in community-based approaches to teaching science to young people.

Technology Valley concept boosted by Curious Minds

High school students are beginning to prepare for their trip overseas next year.

Seven Wainuiomata High School students studying Japanese and Tourism will be travelling to Japan next year for two weeks.

As part of their trip they will be visiting a Japanese school and have the opportunity to experience a dif-ferent way of life.

Katie Attwell, a student at the school, said she was most looking forward to experiencing a difference in culture.

Brock English said he wanted to see the differences in technology.

They have robots in Japan, he said.

The students all agreed going to Disneyland Japan would be a high-light of the trip.

The group will be fundraising

around the valley for their trip in coming months.

FIELD TRIP: Students prepare to fundraise for their trip to Japan

127 million people live in Japan which makes it the 10th most popu-lated country in the world. Sumo is Japans national sport, although it is believed baseball has the most spectators. There are over 70 avours of Fanta in Japan.

Wainuiomata High School hosted the Wellington and Wairarapa Nga Manu Korero regional competition recently and came away with two wins.

Students Jared Paku and Nadia MacDonald took out their respec-tive sections at the annual event held a fortnight ago.

Nga Manu Korero is a secondary school competition held across New Zealand to encourage Maori students to become more confi dent when speaking in both Maori and English.

Speech categories are junior Maori

and English and senior Maori and English.

Wainuiomata High School had four students competing on the day one in each section.

Jared came first in the junior Maori section and Nadia won the senior English section.

Jareds speech was called Ko Maua Ko Paku Hoe and focused on the importance of his paddle in relation to his day-to-day life.

Nadia spoke about how time waits for no one.

Head of Maori Department, Ma-tauranga Te Rauna, said all four students who competed on the day did extremely well.

WINNING: Nadia MacDonald and Jared Paku came rst in each of their sections

Double win for students

Wainuiomata will be playing host to some big acts this weekend when Hui in the Nui hits town.

This is the fourth year the New Zealand Music Month celebration has taken place.

Promoter, Moe Coffey, said he fi rst got the idea from a friend of his who performed in a band.

It was a really random inspiration which led to Hui in the Nui. Its become a real celebration of New Zealand music and local artists, he said.

Moe said part as part of the criteria for Hui in the Nui, 50 per cent of the artists must be local to the area.

He said although 2015 had had some pretty big acts, 2016 stood to be bigger, with popular artist Scribe headlining the evening.

This is the fi rst year weve had Scribe. I think its safe to say this would be the biggest line up weve had, he said.

Moe said although he organised and promoted events around Wellington and beyond, Hui in the Nui was a particularly important one for him.

Wainuiomata is my hometown. Its my way to do something to give back to the community.

Hui in the Nui is on this Saturday, May 28 at the Fitzroy Tavern. Tickets are available from Eventfi nda.

Students and teachers from around Wainuiomata painted the town pink last week to celebrate Pink Shirt day.

Pink Shirt day is held annu-ally to raise awareness about the harm of bullying, celebrate diversity and promote positive relationships.

It has been recognised in New Zealand since 2009.

Both Fernlea School and Wainuiomata High School took part in Pink Shirt day last Friday.

This was the second year Fernlea School has taken part in Pink Shirt Day.

Principal Tony Field said the school celebrated Pink Shirt

Day as part of their learning about bullying.

He said the students had learned about how to respond to bullying in their school assembly.

He said telling someone was the most important step to take if someone was being bullied.

You take away a bullys power if you tell someone

about it, he said.Staff and students at Wai-

nuiomata High School also got involved and wore pink on the day.

It was the first time the school had taken part in Pink Shirt day and students learnt about how to treat each other in their Manaaki classes over the week.

Physical education staff took to the gym in bright pink basketball uniforms.

Head of facu l t y K a t h McGuinness said it was im-portant to be aware of Pink Shirt day to celebrate unique-ness.

Its important to feel com-fortable with who you are, she said.

The Hutt City Council heard oral submis-sions regarding the Annual Plan last week.

Council received over 1200 submissions to the 2016/2017 Annual Plan, with 127 individual and group submitters indicating their interest to speak on a variety of topics.

The hearings took place at the Council Chambers on Laings Road on Tuesday and Wednesday last week.

Chief Executive Tony Stallinger said the Hutt City Council was delighted with the level of feedback from our community.

This year almost 84 per cent of our community who responded supported our Council continuing to invest in the rejuve-nation of the city through key infrastructure projects.

This is the highest level of support I have seen in my nine-year tenure as Chief Executive at Hutt City Council.

Lower Hutt Mayor Ray Wallace said, Receiving over 1200 submissions in this years consultation period is a tremendous result, and the public hearings are an event that I personally look forward to every year.

Items that received a strong level of community interest include, city-wide rejuvenation initiatives, one hour free car parking in the CBD, cycling and walking infrastructure projects and the Stokes Val-ley Hub proposal.

The Community Plan Committee will de-bate the Annual Plan on Thursday, June 2.

The Wainuiomata Premiers had a great game on Saturday follow-ing two weeks of losses.

Wainuiomata beat Johnsonville at William Jones Park 67-5.

Wainuiomata will be playing Northern United for the Alf Keat-

ing Memorial Trophy at Jerry Collins Stadium in Porirua this Saturday.

Wainuiomata Womens returned for another win at the weekend after their loss to the Norths the previous week.

Hockey had a great weekend with two wins despite the terrible weather.

The Womens Premier team worked their way up to the Premier 2 grade after a game against the Indians on Saturday.

The team dominated in attack from the very fi rst whistle and when they were pushed to defend were very strong.

The fi nal score was 9-0. Captain Jo Martin said every

player stepped up their game on Sunday and the team just gelled together, I am so proud of them all".

Thank you to the big crowd of supporters from Wainui who braved the cold wet conditions to come out and support us, we

appreciate the cheering from the sideline and its great that people are able to see the success of this team, she said.

The team now looks forward to the challenge of playing in the Premier 2 competition and will continue to set themselves goals and work hard to achieve them.

The player of the match was Paris Coleman, who played some very skillful hockey resulting in her scoring two goals.

The Wainuiomata High School team had a win over Wellington Girls college, beating the latter 12-0.

This team will now go in to play offs and is highly likely to be moving up a grade in the Secondary School competition.

Its pretty cool, said Charis.

Moana said she was pleased the girls had been given the opportunity however the tournaments would not be without its costs.

She said the girls were currently looking sponsorship from businesses to help pay for the girls expenses.

I dont want any girls to have to miss out for fi nancial reasons, she said.

All the girls except for Angela play for the schools Prem 1 Netball team.

High school students make top teams

The 93rd annual Vosseler Shield cross-country races were held on Mt Victoria at the weekend and 11 Wainuiomata Harriers took to the challenge.

This race is one of the hardest races of the season and one of the toughest cross country races in New Zealand.

Starting on the Hataitai side of Mt Victoria, runners head straight up the hill within 100 meters of the start line and into the bush tracks that wind around the mountain.

The fi nish line comes at the top of a short sharp hill which follows a 100m downhill sprint.

Wainuiomata Harriers, as a club,

placed 7th overall with the best perfor-mances of the day coming from junior members of the club.

Joel Carman placed 2nd in the mens under 18, 3.7km race and Natasha Goldsworthy finished 3rd in the womens under 20, 3.7km race.

The club had three other top ten finishes with Nikki Braniff-Jones placing 6th , Sam Lightfoot at 7th and Cameron Forsyth placed 8th in their respective grades.

For more details or information on the Club please contact Paul on 970 7651 or see our website: www.sports-ground.co.nz/wainuiomataaahc

Joseph Parker showed enough in his unanimous decision victory over Carlos Takam last week to prove he could be a viable world heavyweight boxing champion.

Parker has power and speed as well as technique.

Going 12 rounds and winning should be a big confi dence boost for the Kiwi fi ghter.

Yes, we as New Zealanders are precon-ditioned to wanting a knockout, thanks David Tua, but a points win can still be impressive.

Tua missed his chance against Lennox Lewis more than 15 years ago but the road to a world title will be far easier for Parker.

None of the current champions are anywhere near the class of Lewis, who was arguably the last great unified

heavyweight champion.Parker is a more well-rounded fi ghter

than Tua was.He's also taller and has a more toned

physique.Tia's former manager Kevin Barry is

now in the corner for Parker.He should know this road well, having

travelled it with the 'Tuaman'.Barry should know the advantages and

disadvantages of the next 12 months know that his charge is a No 1 contender.

Parker may not be as exciting to watch as Tua was but his quick shots and decent power should be enough to see him have a better tilt at a world title in a weaker division.

It promises to be an interesting 12 months as we hear up for another Kiwi to have a crack at one of the most prestigious titles in all of sports.

Parker packs the right punch
