Volume to display Kiwi music
Mark Roach of the New Zealand Music Hall of Fame and Victoria Travers of Auckland Museum.
HUGH COLLINS ‘‘You can have anentire experience inthere and not read asingle label.’’Victoria Travers
What started as a cold call threeyears ago has now become anexhibition at the AucklandMuseum.
Volume: Making Music inAotearoa opens at the AucklandWar Memorial Museum on Octo-ber 28.
It is the brainchild of New Zea-land Music Hall of Fame Trustexecutive Mark Roach.
The New Lynn resident says itcame about with wanting to see a‘‘physical space’’ honouring theHall of Fame inductees and Kiwimusic in general.
‘‘I put together a pitch docu-ment and basically cold called themuseum … and said ‘I don’t knowwho to talk to here but I’ve gotthis amazing idea for an exhi-bition’ which I’m sure they hearall the time.’’
The museum responded withenthusiasm and is now openingVolume as the first major NewZealand music exhibition everstaged.
Spanning from the 1950s to thepresent day, Roach says he isusing it as a platform to turn itinto a permanent space either inthe museum or elsewhere.
Museum senior exhibition dev-eloper Victoria Travers says
nothing is more relevant to theiraudience than music.
‘‘It’s a real dream of a projectand we’re so excited to see people
come through and to see theirreaction.’’
Everyone has a memory asso-ciated with a particular aspect of
Kiwi music, Travers says.‘‘The number of conversations
that spin off what they see is justincredible.’’
While nostalgia plays a part inthe exhibition, it was important itcould still be relevant for youngeraudiences, she says.
The show has roughly 200objects and 400 images andincludes hands on and interactivevisual displays.
‘‘We know that people willprobably be close to having somereligious moments with some ofthe objects that are in there,’’Travers says.
A range of guitars will be ondisplay which have appeal even ifyou’re not a musician, Roachsays.
‘‘They stand alone as an artpiece regardless of the fact it’sbeen used to write and play theseamazing songs ... I think peoplewill take things away from it nomatter what your music experi-ence is.’’ Lorde’s 2014 GrammyAward and Split Enz’s memorablestage costumes are some of theobjects on display. Volume runsfor seven months until May 22and is free with museum entry.
The changes are expected to be officially decided upon in December.
Restructure on the booksELESHA EDMONDS
Auckland’s libraries are set for abig shake up with plans to cutcosts and reduce staff.
The extent of Auckland Coun-cil’s proposal to restructure itslibrary staff and services isexpected to be revealed in mid-November.
It comes as the council looks atways to future-proof its librariesto keep up with changing servicedemands.
It has been confirmed there are
no plans to close any of the city’s55 libraries.
Libraries and information gen-eral manager Mirla Edmundsonsays the library’s Fit for theFuture programme will look atways to reallocate its resources.
This includes potentiallyrestructuring staffing hours androles to help respond to the chang-ing needs of those using thelibraries, Edmundson says.
‘‘One of our challenges is weneed to respond to the changingways our customers use it.’’
She says an example of this hasbeen the rise in the use of ebooksand slow decline in printtransactions.
In other cases, staffing is sig-nificantly less during theweekends despite some librarieshaving the same number ofvisitors as during the week.
The proposed changes will lookat ways to redistribute staff andredefine current roles.
Edmundson says they won’tknow the full impact on staffnumbers until November.

YOUR PAPER, YOUR PLACE
Do you celebrate Halloween? It’sfunny how traditions evolve overtime and become a fantasticmarketing opportunity, especiallyfor those flogging confectionaryand costumes. According toHistory.com, Halloween ‘s originslie with the ancient Celtic festivalof Samhain, when people wouldlight bonfires and wear costumesto ward off roaming ghosts. TheCelts, who lived 2000 years ago inthe area that is now Ireland, theUK and northern France,celebrated their New Year onNovember 1. This marked the endof summer and the harvest, andthe beginning of winter - a time ofyear that was associated withdeath. Celts believed that on theirNew Year’s Eve, ‘‘the boundarybetween the worlds of the livingand the dead became blurred’’.People would gather to burn cropsand animals on big bonfires as asacrifice to deities. Halloween’sgone through a bit of atransformation since then, and Idoubt kids care more about thetradition than the possibility offree chocolate and lollies.
Happy Halloween!

Imogen aims for future medalsTORIKA TOKALAU-CHANDRA
Imogen started swimming when she was 4. PHOTO: SUPPLIED
Seven-year-old Imogen wants tobe just like Paralympic swimminggold medallist Mary Fisher.
Imogen was born with a gen-etic condition called Leber Con-genital Amaurosis, which has lefther blind.
Fisher’s wins in swimmingcompetitions despite her visualimpairment encouraged Imogento take up swimming lessons her-self.
‘‘She is inspired by MaryFisher and the knowledge thatbeing blind doesn’t need to holdher back,’’ Imogen’s mum, Nettiesays.
‘‘Imogen started swimminglessons when she was 4 and hasbeen receiving funding from theHalberg Foundation for two termsa year since then.
‘‘She loves swimming.’’The Mt Eden Normal Primary
School student loves swimming,Nettie says.
Being in the water has helpedher gain more confidence andgreat satisfaction from developingand accomplishing new skills.
She also loves baking andriding her bike.
‘‘Imogen is indeed a deter-mined and strong personality.
‘‘She certainly has hermoments of frustrations andchallenges but we encourage herthat she can do anything that she
puts her mind to.‘‘The challenge is to continue
finding ways to make thingsaccessible to her that other chil-dren access visually.’’
Swimming was hard forImogen at first, but she’s lappedup every opportunity in the waterand now refuses to leave when alesson is over.
‘‘Initially when she startedswimming, she was reluctant to
put her head under the water.‘‘Now she loves diving down to
sit on the bottom of the pool.‘‘She loves it when she can do
something new.’’Nettie says they are excited to
continue Imogen’s swimminglessons to see where it will takeher.
Whether it steers her to amedal or not, they are happy thatat least it’s helping their little girl
live a normal life.‘‘Swimming has given her con-
fidence, which has a social spinoffbecause this is an area wherephysically she is able to partici-pate on more of an even playingfield with her peers.
‘‘Whether she makes it to thelevel of a Paralympic swimmer ofcourse remains to be seen.
‘‘We have quite a way to goyet.’’

ADD - a hidden superpower in businessCATRIN OWEN
Chris McKinney
has ADD and is
the managing
director of his
own consultancy
business.
Chris McKinney has good daysand bad days.
The Ponsonby resident wasdiagnosed with Attention DeficitDisorder (ADD) when he was 18years old and has been managingit ever since.
ADD and ADHD (AttentionDeficit Hyperactive Disorder)affects 2-5 per cent of all children.
While some children may growout of it, between 50 and 70 percent will have symptoms causingimpairment as they head intoadulthood.
ADHD New Zealand chairDarrin Bull says it is important tounderstand the power of ADHDrather than focusing on thenegatives.
The inaugural ADHD Aware-ness Day is on October 30. A con-ference is being held at EllerslieEvent Centre for parents, teachersand specialists to hear about thelatest research and understandthe support that is available outthere.
McKinney has only come toterms with the disorder in the lastcouple of years and began tounderstand it.
Although growing up withADD, McKinney was unaware hehad it, however he has now learntto manage.
‘‘I don’t think I’ve managed itwell all the time, but I’ve found areally solid way to manage it.
‘‘Fundamentally it comesdown to self-esteem andexercising ... I’ve dropped 15kgwhich has made me feel betterabout myself and exerciseproduces dopamine which I don’thave enough of.’’
McKinney occasionally usesmedication but it’s only when he
gets overloaded at work.‘‘I think I get to a point where I
can’t manage it, Ritalin helps meto do that but it also takes a bit ofme away and that’s why I like toexercise and eat healthy.’’
McKinney thinks the conditionis poorly understood and wouldlike to see increased awareness.
He says he’s been labelled as‘‘lazy’’ but due to the disorder hewill forget things and be late.
‘‘I reckon there needs to beheaps more done with kids and inschools to teach them they’re notbad or stupid and learn toembrace all the good parts andmanage the bad parts.’’
The managing director haslearnt to manage the things he’sgood at and delegate the tasks he’snot.
‘‘I guess I wouldn’t not have it,I love who I am and I like the wayI think and act.’’

MT ROSKILL BY-ELECTION 3 DECEMBER 2016
Labradors are known for their ninja-like abilities in sniffing out potential snacks.
Top spot for labradorsNICOLE LAWTON
The loveable labrador retriever hasonce again topped the tables as themost popular dog breed in NewZealand.
Figures from the Department ofInternal Affairs show there were41,835 labradors registeredthroughout the country as of May 31- one for every 10 registered dogowners.
The next most popular breed wasthe huntaway, with 31,548 registered,followed by the border collie with22,662.
Fourth most popular were NewZealand’s 18,238 heading dogs, thenthe country’s 18,066 jack russellterriers.
In Auckland, where about a fifth
of New Zealand’s dogs live, dogregistration figures supplied byAuckland Council show the humblelab is the breed of choice fromRodney in the north all the waydown to Franklin.
The miniature schnauzer was thesecond most popular breed in centralAuckland.
The SPCA said there were anumber of reasons for thegeographical distribution of dogbreeds, including current fashions,history, demographics and the area’spredominant land type.
Labradors topped the tablesbecause they were a popular ‘family’dog in many parts of the world andare generally known to be friendly,relaxed dogs that are intelligent andactive.
Mix of neighbours
‘‘I really enjoy hearing theirstories about what this placehas been like over time. ’’
Christa Napier-Robertson lives inKingsland and manages theschools programmes at theAuckland Art Gallery.
LOOK WHO’STALKING
WHAT DO YOU LIKE BEST ABOUT LIVING IN
KINGSLAND?I love the dinky streets with houses on all sorts offunny angles. I also love the mix of neighbours.Some of mine have been in the area for 40+ yrs. Ireally enjoy hearing their stories about what thisplace has been like over time. Apparently itwasn’t the place to be at all back then.
WHAT DO YOU LIKE LEAST AND HOW CAN
WE FIX IT?The shops have become a bit mono-dimensional.Some great eateries - but almost only eateriesthese days. Parking is certainly a challenge forpeople and probably doesn’t help.
WHERE’S THE BEST PLACE TO BUY DINNER
IN YOUR AREA?Farang. That place has genuinely amazing food.I’m vegetarian so can’t speak to the whole menu -but the ‘Grilled Ginger Eggplant’ with shitakemushrooms starter and the ‘Hawker StyleVegetarian Green Curry’ stand out as specialmeals in a city awash with options.
WHO IS THE KIWI YOU ADMIRE MOST – AND
WHY?To be honest, I feel like we give lots of attention topeople who ‘make it’. There are many people outthere following their passions, and they do it forthe love, not the glory.
IF I WAS AUCKLAND’S MAYOR...
I’d lead like an overlord. Much better to have PhilGoff.
THE SPOT IN AUCKLAND I’D RECOMMEND
TO TOURISTS ISThe Auckland Art Gallery, there aren’t manyplaces you can go these days for free, to enjoy theideas and passions of the people of this city, ourcountry ... and the world beyond.

Marist aim for more AFC winsTORIKA TOKALAU-CHANDRA
Marist’s Kim-an Quinn was praised for her performance in the Bears Classic. PHOTOTEK
Marist women’s softball coachRoman Gabriel is confident histeam can be a threat to biggerteams in the Auckland FastpitchChampionship.
The side has played threegames in the AFC, coming awaywith one win against ArdmoreMarist in round two.
On Saturday, they face Waita-kere Bears at Starling Park at1.30pm.
‘‘We have a pretty young side,there are quite a number of newplayers - nervous still but they’reslowly getting their confidence upby each game,’’ Gabriel says.
‘‘If we can play to our fullpotential, we have a strongchance of being a threat to the bigteams in the competition.’’
Gabriel hopes they can bettertheir results from last year whenthey finished last in the league.
He’s banking on the experienceof senior players like their skip-per, Kara Stirling to motivate theyounger players.
‘‘We have learnt a lot from lastyear. It was a tough time for theteam because we were not readyto play in the premier league.
‘‘This year I feel that we’re abetter team and hopefully it canget us more wins, and a successfulseason.’’
Gabriel says the goal is is toplay consistent ball week in, weekout.
‘‘We started our preparationslate this year - the weather,players’ commitments to studiesand jobs.
‘‘However, we’ve managed tocome together to play every week.
‘‘It is a long season, so I amconfident we can make up for theearlier two losses in the league bythe business end of the season.
‘‘If we can play good consistentball, and it gets us a few more
wins than last year, then we cansay we have had a successfulseason.’’
However, the long weekendproved a tough slog.
Marist featured in the Waita-kere Bears Classic Competition,losing four of their five games toHowick, Western Magpies,Otahuhu and hosts Bears. Theirsole win came against the MtAlbert Ramblers.
‘‘I was really proud with ouryounger pitcher Kim-an Quinnwho did really well against theBears.
‘‘We had a terrible start to thecompetition losing to Howick butoverall the girls performed reallywell, battling against muchstronger and experienced teams.’’
The Magpies went on to winthe women’s division, takingOtahuhu out 4-0.

The original sec-ond Globe Theatre was the venuefor many of WilliamShakespeare’s best-known plays,and the Kiwi replica allows theBard’s works to be performed in apainstaking copy of the space theywere written for. The companysold over 100,000 tickets this yearto Twelfth Night and Romeo andJuliet, and extended its seasontwice. Next year the company willdouble its efforts, performing fourplays in a new and improvedtheatre, including Much AdoAbout Nothing, Othello, Henry Vand As You Like It. The companyhas designed an impressive stagefront, a close replica used in theoriginal second Globe. Anotherimprovement to the theatre itselfis the addition of an onion domeon the roof, which will have gapsthat allow natural light to filteronto the stage.
The season runs February 23 toMay 14. Visit popupglobe.co.nz.
