Residents concerned over medium-density housing

Riled up

By Sharnahea Wilson

Khandallah residents are expressing concerns over the Wellington City Council’s proposal to build medium-density housing in the area.

Residents John and Janet Preston have “major reserva-tions” about the possibility of having medium-density housing in Khandallah.

Medium-density housing can be stand-alone, semi-detached, terraced houses or apartment buildings, all up to three stories high.

John said the biggest concern they have is the “vague-ness” around what the medium-density housing will involve.

“The community is being asked to comment on something that is too vague to know how it should be approached,” he said.

The couple argued the community meetings that have been held in Khandallah so far have been insuffi cient in answering the resident’s questions.

John said with more people moving into Khandallah, parking would cause signifi cant problems.

“It would mean a lot more cars will be parked on the street which would cause serious problems in terms of traffi c fl ow throughout the suburb.”

John and Janet are also concerned about the environ-mental impacts medium-density housing could have on the vegetation in Khandallah.

By Sharnahea Wilson

Life Flight Wellington was delighted to receive a cheque from three girls of the Karori West Brownies on Monday.

Earlier in the term the Brownies had taken a trip to Life Flight as part of their keeping safe badge, and after seeing the great work Life Flight does for New Zealanders, the girls decided

to hold a fundraiser, Brownies leader Hannah Newell said.

“They learned how much money it costs to fund these services,” she said.

About 20 Brownies biked around Karori Park as many times as they could in one hour while receiving donations from family, friends and the community.

Wellington’s iconic Brooklyn turbine will soon be replaced by a turbine which will generate more power.

Last week, the owner of the Brooklyn turbine, Meridian Energy, announced it had signed a contract for a new turbine that will begin generat-ing electricity from Wellington’s world-famous wind in April.

Meridian external relations manager Guy Waipara said the current turbine would be removed in December and work would begin in January to prepare the foundation for the new turbine.

The new turbine would arrive in Wellington at the end of March and it was expected to take three weeks to have the turbine up and running, he said.

He said the project would cost $2.9 million.“We’re very excited that this is happening. The

current turbine has become iconic. It is part of the

cityscape and is valued by the local community and wider Wellington region.”

The scheduled work meant there would be times during the next few months when access to mountain biking tracks and access to the turbine site would be closed.

Guy said this would be for short periods of time and people would be kept informed through notices on Meridian, Wellington City Council and Brooklyn Facebook pages.

Guy said the increase in the size of the new turbine took into account that modern turbines have generally increased in both size and genera-tion capability since the original Brooklyn turbine was installed 22 years ago.

The current turbine produces about 870 megawatt hours a year, while the new turbine will generate around 3,900 megawatt hours a year – enough to power around 490 average homes.

Iconic turbine to be replaced

Brooklyn’s iconic wind turbine will be replaced next year.

Young Wellingtonians are set to create their own wild visions for the capital as part of a dramatic arts, science and nature voyage in the town belt this weekend.

The Imagine My City pilot project will be launched this Sunday.

The project is part of a wider programme

which seeks to empower young people to join in with others in their neighbourhood to create, infl uence and lead movements back to nature and their backyards.

The Imagine My City project has been created by Nature Through Arts Collective and the New Zealand National Commission

for UNESCO.Collective spokeswoman Nikki Wright

said the project was initially focused on children and their families in the suburbs of Mt Cook, Newtown and Brooklyn.

This Sunday’s launch, which will be held in Mt Cook, will allow children and their families to experience actors, artists and nature experts who have come together to inspire them to explore their neighbour-hood in new ways.

The launch will then be followed by a 100-Day Creative Challenge, which will see children create and share their own visions for what a nature-rich city might look like through art based media.

“It could be a story, short fi lm, sculpture or structure in nature, painting, music or dance – whatever makes them buzz.” The Imagine My City Launch will take place this Sunday, November 15. There are two performance times. One from 10am to midday and one from 2pm to 4pm. To register for the event email [email protected] or head to naturethrougharts.wordpress.com

FACTS ABOUT THE BROOKLYN WINDMILL:

Wellingtonians rushed from the capital’s city centre last Wednesday after a suspicious package was discovered.

It was later revealed the package posed no threat and police said someone had gone to a considerable effort it ap-pear as though it contained explosives.

Police said they cordoned off a section of Lambton Quay from Will is St to Brandon St after fi nding the package about 2.30pm last Wednesday.

The New Zealand Defence

Force Explosive Ordinance Disposal unit was called in and a robot was deployed.

Police have since revealed the item did not contain any explosive material.

“Someone has gone to some effort to create the item in a way that gave the impression it was an explosive device,” police said.

Police said they were con-tinuing their investigation to identify the person or persons responsible.

They thanked members of the public for their assistance.

Suspicious package causes scare for capital

Lambton Quay was cordoned o� on Wednesday afternoon following the discovery of a suspicious package.

managed to get around the track enough times to accumu-late a whopping 21km.

Luca Timerley, 7, raised $135 for Life Flight and nine-year-old Emma Blackwell racked up $250 for the cause.

Altogether the Karori West Brownies raised $916.70 to proudly present to Life Flight.

Life Flight flies New Zea-landers to urgent medical care dramatically improving their chance of survival and recov-ery.

CEO of Life Flight Alan Cook was extremely grateful for the effort the girls had put into raising money for the service.

“We are thankful for any-thing and everything we get because the more people who know about us the better.

“Kids are some of our best ambassadors – whether it’s $10 or $100 the passion they put in is fantastic,” he said.

Life Flight Wellington � ies about 500 babies per year. It costs $8300 for every hour the helicopter is being used.The services of Life Flight help New Zealanders once a day on average. The Life Flight airplane is used for 1000 hours per year on average. Life Flight has � own over 26,000 New Zealanders since the service began in 1975.

Life Flights events and com-munications assistant Miriam Dawson said she is lucky to get to support a lot of amazing community events.

They are also keen supporters

of anything or anyone that promotes safety outdoors, and the Life Flight team hopes their television programme coming out next year will create more awareness around safety.

A new helicopter would cost Life Flight roughly $15 mil-lion to buy, which means the service is grateful for all the help they get from members of the community.

A large group of Wellingtoni-ans have been surveyed on their views of increasing smoke-free areas in the capital.

The results of the survey were presented to the Wellington City Council’s Community Sport and Recreation committee at its meeting last week.

Of the more than 1000 people surveyed 84 per cent were in favour of a smoke-free Wel-lington.

Mayor of Wellington, Celia-Wade Brown, said the council had already designated many of its sports fields, playgrounds, and skate parks, as smoke-free outdoor areas.

“We share Government’s goal for a smoke-free nation by 2025. This calls for greater action to

be taken.” The most preferred places

for extending the ‘smoke-free’ designation include entrances to buildings accessed by the public including bus stops, the Wellington Botanic gardens and Otari-Wiltons Bush.

“Sharing a bus stop with someone who is smoking puts people off catching buses,” Celia said.

“I do realise it is hard to quit smoking as I gave up when I was in my thirties. These days non-smokers are the new normal.”

The Zoo and Zealandia are already smoke-free as is new and refurbished Council hous-ing (both inside and out), with designated smoking areas pro-

vided outdoors for tenants who smoke.

Communal areas of all council housing complexes are also smoke-free.

Councillor and chair of the Community, Sport and Rec-reation committee, Paul Eagle, said less than one in ten adults in Wellington City smoke, compared to one in six for New Zealand.

“There’s support for balance and tolerance in smoke-free initiatives acknowledging that smoking is addictive and dif-ficult to quit.

“However, the positive feed-back from the survey gives us the signal to explore further and consider how we could reduce this to less than 5 per cent and

make Wellington City smoke-free by 2025.”

Paul said research showed smoke-free outdoor areas en-couraged those who were at-tempting to quit.

Additional research and ob-servational data will be col-lected this summer, with the intention of reporting back to the committee in April 2016 with a proposal to designate additional smoke-free areas by World Smoke-free Day on May 31 next year.

There will be opportunities for further community input into the project in the New Year. Do you think there should be more smoke-free outdoor areas in Wellington? Send us an email – [email protected]

A group of 20 men from Petone Pak’nSave did their part to raise funds for men’s health this November by growing their mo’s.

The Movember foundation is a global charity that works to raise money and awareness for men living with prostate cancer, testicular cancer, poor mental health or physical inactivity.

Pak’nSave jumped on board the campaign this year by grow-ing out their moustache’s from the beginning of the month.

Petone Store owner Leo O’Sullivan and his son and Store Manager Ben O’Sullivan lead the way Mo first.

“New Zealanders are really generous and this cause creates huge awareness of prostate cancer and other men’s issues.

“Movember has raised $825 million since it began,” Leo said.

The pair said they hated grow-ing moustaches but they still plan on making Movember an

annual event within Pak’nSave. The awareness around Mo-

vember also influences men to go to the doctors more often which Leo said “men aren’t very good at”.

Ben laughed that some of the men who had moustaches before November had to shave

them off at the beginning of the month and start from scratch.

“They weren’t happy but after a couple of days you wouldn’t know they had shaved,” he said.

The participating men said they learned a lot about the cause though taking part and raising money and awareness.

People donated to the team by making pledges through either donating cash or going onto the team’s page on the Movember website.

Last week the Pak’nSave Petone team had raised at least $3200, with an overall aim of raising $5000.

Marianne Bishop from the Pan-Pacifi c and South-East Asia Women’s Association is banding together with Keith Spry pool to provide children with free swim-ming lessons.

Marianne wants some children under the age of three to receive free swimming lessons at the Johnsonville pool.

The association has put $500 into the project hoping to provide about six children with lessons for one term.

She said the service will be for low income parents to give their children the chance to learn the basics of being in the water.

“We are targeting children whose parents and guardians have leisure cards and are on low incomes.

“We want to remove the barrier to those people being unable to afford to do this for their chil-dren,” she said.

Marianne said it is important for children to learn to swim at a young age.

“The younger the better, that way the lessons will stick with them,” she said.

Programmes Team Leader at the pool, Luke Banks-Novak agreed it is important for children to learn to swim at a young age.

“It’s about developing refl exes and senses, and having confi-dence in the water,” he said.

Luke said many of the children who start off in the “water ba-bies” class end up skipping other lower levels because they are so good in the water.

Marianne is working alongside Matt Kilgour from Keith Spry to organise lessons for children in need.

Parents can choose whether they would like their young ones to participate in the Christmas holiday lessons or the term one lessons next year.

Parents who have leisure cards can apply for one of the spots by picking up an application form from Keith Spry Pool, or fi lling out an application on the Keith Spry facebook page before November 13.

Continued from page 1“The greenery was one of the

main reasons we decided to move to Khandallah in the fi rst place,” Janet said.

Wellington City Councillor Andy Foster said the Council will be having a briefi ng next month, putting in place planning rules.

Councillor Foster welcomes feedback from the community saying “feedback would help – we are looking to work with the community on this”.

He agrees the vegetation is an important component of Khandallah to keep safe.

“We absolutely accept that the discussion of the environment is an important thing.”

Councillor Foster does, how-ever, believe medium-density

housing will be a necessary change for the area due to popu-lation growth.

“The [Wellington] population has grown from 150,000 in 1991 to over 200,000 in 2015, and it will continue to grow,” he said.

Housing for the elderly is also a contentious topic with the council arguing there are too many three and four bedroom houses and not enough smaller fl ats in the area.

“[Medium-density housing would] allow people who have lived in the area their whole lives to continue to live there in their older years,” Councillor Foster said.

A public meeting will be held on November 19 in the town hall and Councillor Foster said it will be a good opportunity to fi nd

out exactly what the community wants.

“Change is one certainty we all have; this is about managing it as best as possible.

“It’s not going to happen over-night,” he said. Let us know your thoughts on medium-density housing at [email protected]

A local teacher has been pre-sented with his prizes on Friday after winning the Warehouse Stationary’s most inspirational teacher award.

Wadestown teacher Richard Smith was awarded with the Inspirational Teacher award dur-ing a school assembly on Friday.

Richard was overwhelmed by the support and appreciation he had received

“This is an amazing day,” he said to the assembly.

“It is very special to have someone say something like this about you, but nothing I do I do by myself – it’s a team effort,” he said.

The teacher was the overall winner, surpassing 5537 other nominations in the fi fth year of the inspirational teacher cam-paign.

The nomination written by a parent of one of Richard’s students, Maria Edwards, ex-plained why this teacher is one of the best.

“After having children in education for the past 18 years I knew Richard was not an ordinary teacher.

“For the past 18 months, he has given my daughter and every other child in his year seven and eight class the gift of a lifetime - the ability to believe in themselves and the skills to learn in the way that best suits them,” the nomination stated.

Warehouse Stationery’s busi-ness development manager Mata Te Pania said the competition has gone from “strength to strength” every year.

“It is something people really get behind.

“We all know how teachers go above and beyond the call of duty,” she said.

Husband of Richard’s nomina-tor, Ant Edwards explained why the couple wanted to give something back to Richard.

“As soon as we met Richard we knew there was something exceptional about him.

“We wanted to do something nice for him so Maria decided

Richard received a number of gifts including a $5000 travel card, a $200 gift card, a box of stationery and a Notebook.

Principal Sally Barrett thanked Richard for his contri-bution to the school.

“Today we are celebrating Mr Smith’s amazing achievement.

“Thank you for your contribu-tion through your energy, vital-ity, passion and commitment to children’s education,” she said.

Richard and his family will be heading over to Cambodia early next year to educate children and help those in need.

Youth awarded for community involvement By Sharnahea Wilson

The Johnsonville Youth Awards saw another successful year with 19 young students being awarded for their efforts over the past year.

Chair of the Youth Award Trustees, Chris Kirk-Burnnand, said the event held in John-sonville shopping centre, on October 22, was a great success and the Trust is looking to grow the event even further.

“Each year there are so many outstanding applicants that im-press the Trustees with their involvement in the wider com-munity.

“The Trust is focused on youth development and giving grants

to young people to help with education, sport and the arts,” Chris said.

One of last year’s awardees Richard Kay spoke on the night.

Richard captained the Under 19 men’s Underwater Hockey Team and went on to win a Gold medal for New Zealand.

Local winners this year includ-ed Francis Rankin of Newlands College for having received one of the highest awards a St Johns cadet leader can attain – be-ing selected to represent New Zealand for St Johns youth at international competitions.

Laila Smith of Onslow College was also awarded for her success in gymnastics and circus arts, as well as her “keen leadership

skills in helping others”. MP Peter Dunne was the

guest speaker on the night and presented this year’s awards.

Johnsonville Youth Grants has now granted over $565,000 to 325 young people since its establishment in 1987.

Core funding this year came from Autoshop Group which has donated over $260,000 in the last ten years.

For over 20 years the awards have been hosted at the John-sonville Rotary Club.

“The move to Johnsonville shopping centre is a step to-wards getting greater involve-ment from the North Wellington business community,” Chris said. Charlotte Hollywood receiving her award from MP Peter Dunne.

A Sri Lankan food fair will be held at the Johnsonville Community Centre on Saturday November 7 from 10am to 2pm. The local Sri Lankan dance academy is hosting the food fair in order to fundraise towards the cost of costumes for their dancers. On the day attendees can enjoy the taste of Sri Lankan rice and curry, string hoppers, kotthu, thosai, Sri Lankan savouries, sweets and drinks. Go along on the day to support the dance academy and enjoy some authentic Sri Lankan cuisine.

The first year of the Wel-lington North Primary School Citizenship Awards kicked off to a great start on Thursday, awarding children for their hard work.

The awards, organised by Councillor Malcolm Sparrow and held at the Newlands Community Centre, saw ten deserving students be awarded for the effort they have put into their school and community throughout the year.

Eleven-year-old Hannah McLachlan from Rewa Rewa primary school was delighted to be honoured with a trophy, certificate and book voucher.

“I’m receiving the award because I showed respect, in-tegrity, diversity and empathy which is a big thing at Rewa Rewa,” she said.

As with many of the other awardees, Hannah partici-pates in a multitude of school activities including student council, road patrol and Kapa Haka.

All of the winners showed “true leadership, citizenship and contribution to school life,” Councillor Malcom said.

Head girl of Newlands Col-lege inspired the winners

Young citizens awarded for hard work

saying to be a good citizen it takes hard work.

“You need to give back and help the community.

“You also have to have a lot of pride,” she said.

Wellington Mayor Celia Wade-Brown was there to present the awards, along with the Deputy Mayor Justin Lester.

The night began with a

pop-quiz for those under 13 with awards of chocolate or carrot sticks - the latter option proving not quite as popular.

The ten Citizenship Award winners were selected from Amesbury School, Rewa Rewa School, Churton Park School, Newlands Interme-diate, Johnsonville School, West Park School, Bellevue School, Paparangi School and

Newlands Primary. The awards have been run-

ning in Tawa since 2011 but this is the first year each Northern school got the chance to award one student for their outstanding work.

Each school was also pre-sented with a wooden plaque, with the name of their win-ning student engraved, to be added to each year.

Motorists can expect more closures along State Highway 1 next weekend.

T he h ighway be t we en Ngauranga and Thorndon was closed last weekend and will close once again on Saturday 28 and Sunday 29 of November.

The closures will begin at 10pm and the motorway will re-open at 7am on Sunday morning and 5.30am on Mon-day morning. All lanes in both directions will be closed.

Despite the closure, Wel-lington Highway Manager, Neil

Walker said detours would be in place and everyone would be able to get where they wanted to go at all times.

However, he said people should allow more time for their journeys during these times.

“We’re doing everything we can to minimise disruption, which is why we’re doing it in the middle of the night during the weekend.”

He said the last motorway closures took place in August, and went like clockwork.

State Highway 1 to close

Continued from page 1Twenty years ago Fiona, from

Fiona Haines Dance Academy, put together a show based on the classic fairy tale Pinocchio, and this year’s show is set to be better than ever.

“We are doing a rehash of the very fi rst show I put on, but we are also including ‘To the Circus’ which we have never done before.

“We have strong men, tight-rope walkers, lion tamers and more, and it will be a very full and entertaining show for all ages,” Fiona said.

Students aged three to 18 years from both Karori and Brooklyn Studios are busy preparing for the up-coming production.

Senior students not only get to show off their dance skills but also have to learn how to act and tell a story with body language and mime, Fiona said.

“I am very lucky to have my mother, Katie Haines, on board as she was not only a ballet dancer and teacher but was also a drama and mime tutor so the girls are lucky to have her expertise during rehearsals,” she said.

Fiona said she has had great pleasure in teaching over the past 20 years and has had some

wonderful students.“You form quite a bond with

them when you see them three to four times a week over ten or so years.

“I love it when past students pop in to say hello and fi ll me in on what they are now doing.”

Fiona said her dancers learn many skills throughout their time at the dance academy that are benefi cial in all walks

of life. “Along with the obvious

posture, confi dence and enjoy-ment, comes the skills you get from overcoming nerves from going on stage and sitting exams - dedication, discipline, reliability, time management, punctuality and giving every-thing your all and your best, she said.”

Fiona said this all the hard

work pays off when the danc-ers get to perform in their end of year production.

“Every year we put on a large production which is the highlight for all students.”

‘Pinocchio’ and ‘To the Cir-cus’ will be performed on Sun-day, November 29 at 12pm, 3pm and 6pm in the Memorial Theatre in Kelburn.

Old girls of Samuel Marsden Collegiate School came together to celebrate the schools 2015 Hall of Fame Laureates on Friday.

Cassandra Treadwell received her award in recognition of her commitment and leadership to ‘So They Can’.

So They Can is an organisation Cassandra set up to work with communities in the Third World to break the cycle of poverty.

The charity opened a school in Kenya where they employ 110 local staff on the ground.

She discussed how in 2007 there were over 1000 locals living on a rubbish dump in Nakuru, and

now 120 of the children attend the Aberdane primary school.

Cassandra is inspired by the word Ubuntu – meaning “I am because of you”.

She discussed how charity isn’t a one-way street.

“We tend to draw our circle of family too small.

“The people we help ground me - they have so much compassion, they live in the moment and we have a lot to learn from them,” Cassandra said.

The daughter of Lady Jane Blun-dell, Sally Winstone, saw her mother be awarded onto the Mars-den Hall of Fame.

This posthumous award recog-nised June Blundell’s voluntary

and charity work throughout the community both as a patron and an active supporter.

Sally discussed how her mother was the third person ever to receive the New Zealand Dame Grand Cross of the Order of Saint John.

Lady Jane had also “founded the child cancer foundation because children were still being treated under the adult regime”.

Scholarships were awarded on the day to descendants of old girls.

The Marsden Old Girls Asso-ciation Scholarships for 2015 were awarded to Charlotte Mills, whose mother and grandmother were both at Marsden, and the Nell Clare Music Scholarship was awarded to Jessica Kenyon.

Marsden Old Girls celebrate success

Wellington City Council voted 9-6 to extend an $18.55 per-hour wage to contractors working under a proposed new contract to supply security services to the Council.

Mayor Celia Wade-Brown said the decision applies to a security contract with strong public roles including noise control, cash handling, guard-ing and mobile patrols.

“We expect improvements to the quality and effectiveness of these services and greater pride in delivery, she said.”

In a fi rst for the City Council, Councillor Paul Eagle joined the debate and cast his vote, in

favour of the living wage, re-motely from Perth where he is attending a housing conference.

Deputy Mayor Justin Lester also successfully moved that the Council ensure there would be no additional costs to rate-payers.

Councillors voted eight-seven to remove $250,000 from the Council’s personnel and travel budget to make the outcome fi scally-neutral.

“We know through our ex-perience with our parking wardens, who are already on the living wage, that service levels improve along with staff morale and performance,”

Councillor Lester said. Mayor Wade-Brown said

cities worldwide that have led with applying a living wage have found the workers who benefi t tend to spend increases locally.

“The local community as a whole benefi ts, economically and socially,” she said.

She added that wage levels for future Council contracts will be decided on a case-by-case basis.

The proposed security con-tract will cover Wellington City Council, Porirua City Council and Kapiti Coast Dis-trict Council.

Wellington Curtain Bank helped 520 homes become warmer and healtheir this winter.

The Wellington Curtain Bank has provided free, fitted curtains to families around the region for the past six years.

Over 1600 pairs of curtains have been upcycled for eligible fami-lies thanks to curtains donated by the public.

The curtains have gone to families, many of whom have children, elderly members of the community and those suffering from housing related health issues.

Curtain Bank co-ordinator Shelali Shetty said the 1600 curtains have made a significant difference.

“Well fitted and lined curtains make such a big difference to keeping your home warm and keeping you healthy.

“Uncovered windows can lose four or five times as much heat as an un-insulated wall,” she said.

Shelali explained how in cold, damp homes families can be more susceptible to serious ill-nesses including rheumatic fever, respiratory illness, asthma and skin conditions.

“Not all landlords provide cur-tains and for those families on tight budgets. Buying good quality, new curtains are simply unaffordable,” she said.

Curtains heat up holiday season

Curtain recipient, Paulina Taaku Smith said her family has benefited greatly from the curtains she received through the Wellington Curtain Bank and would recommend the free service to her family and friends.

“My son Irata got admitted to ICU twice with bronchiolitis - the house was too cold.

“Since getting new curtains from the Wellington Curtain

Bank it’s quite warm and he hasn’t been sick again,” she said.

The Curtain Bank is now closed for the summer and will reopen in April 2016 to service families in need for another year. Curtain donations are gratefully received year-round at Sustainability Trust’s EcoCen-tre, 2 Forrester Lane, Tory Street, Wellington.

This year’s community Christmas carols in Ngaio will be graced by a performance from the Wellington Youth Brass Band. The carols, which have been going for well over 20 years, combine Onslow Community Church, St Benedict’s Khandallah, Ngaio Union and Khandallah Presbyterian Church. “We will sing lots of carols and a few hymns,” said Lee Sheppard of Onslow Anglican’s. “It’s a great chance for people to get together and sing their favourite carols.” There will also be music from recorder and early music union. All are welcome to join at 7pm on Sunday, December 6 at Ngaio Town Hall.

People from the northern suburbs can get around easier after being included in Wellington City Council’s cheaper bus fares trial over the Christmas holidays.

The cheaper fares launched on Saturday and will continue through to Sunday, December 20 on GO Wellington and Newlands Coach Service buses.

Fares are $1 for one zone of travel, and $2 adult fare or $1.50 child fare for two or three zones.

Wellington Mayor Celia Wade-Brown is pleased Newlands Coach Services has been included in the cheaper fares scheme.

“People from Johnsonville, Newlands, Tawa and other northern suburbs as well as other parts of Wellington city can enjoy a cheaper and longer visit to our downtown shops, events and waterfront, she said.”

The mayor is encouraging people to “Make a real day of it and enjoy some food, drink, free museums and galleries.”

Chair of the Greater Wellington Regional Council Chris Laidlaw is also delighted New-lands bus users will be able to travel on the cheap.

“The more people who are encouraged to leave their cars at home and take the bus instead, the better,” he said.

Chair of the Transport and Urban Development Committee Councillor Andy Foster is keen to see more people using this service and is interested to see how many people will utilise the fares.

“There are a lot of wonderful things happen-ing in Wellington over the month leading into Christmas, we want this trial to bring more people into their city.”

Wellington City Council has budgeted $200,000 for this initiative.

Fares can be paid by cash and with a Snapper card on GO Wellington buses, or a Newlands travel card on Newlands buses.

The changes exclude; after midnight services, Airport Flyer, Valley Flyer, Mana, Newlands route 210 (Johnsonville – Titahi Bay), and Tranz Metro services.

After sending a piece of written music to the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, three lucky Victoria University students were selected to have their music recorded by the county’s leading professional orchestra.

Nine of New Zealand’s top young compos-ers will have their work recorded by the orchestra over three days from December 1 – 3.

Reuben Jelleyman of Wilton, Louisa Nick-lin of Newtown and Daniel Sun of Kelburn are among the chosen talented composers.

Short-listed from 24 applications by a panel of industry professionals, the fi nalists of the NZSO TODD Corporation Young Composers Award will receive mentoring from Wellington-based composer Michael

Norris and participate in industry seminars and instrument workshops.

Each participant will then have their fi ve-minute composition workshopped, rehearsed, and performed by New Zealand’s national orchestra under the baton of acclaimed Aus-tralian conductor Richard Gill, and recorded by Radio New Zealand Concert.

Louisa was “very surprised” to be chosen saying this is the fi rst year she had entered.

“I wasn’t expecting to get selected at all,” she said.

Reuben on the other hand has entered many times and this is the third year he has been selected to work with the NZSO saying “it is always a delight”.

Both Reuben and Louisa come from musi-cal families and backgrounds, having played multiple instruments each.

However, their focus now lies on composing music for others to perform, with dreams of one day writing to make a living.

The best overall composition will be announced on the evening of December 3, with the winner receiving a cash award of $750 and the coveted title of NZSO TODD Corporation Young Composer of the Year.

An ‘Orchestra’s Choice’ award, which is voted on by the whole orchestra, will also be presented, but Reuben said the awards are secondary to the fantastic opportunity of getting to work with the orchestra.

Q: Do you think smoking should be banned in bus stops?

readers have their say... Find out the WORD on the Street.

June Grinling, JohnsonvilleYes because there could be ten people standing there and some might be non-smokers who have to inhale it anyway.

Richard Potts,Hutt ValleyYeah de� nitely to be considerate for non-smokers and it smells.

Glenis Miratana, NewlandsYes because of others who have to stand in the bus stop.

Ryan John, JohnsonvilleYeah that would be a good idea because of second hand smoke.

International Volunteer Day is on De-cember 5 and Enliven is taking the op-portunity to thank its team of dedicated volunteers.

Enliven, part of the not-for-profi t organi-sation, operates Huntleigh Home in Karori, Cashmere Home and Cashmere Heights Home in Johnsonville, and Longview Home in Tawa.

Enliven volunteer and recreation advi-sor Mary Lawson says the wonderful men, women, teenagers and children that volunteer to be part of the Enliven team make a real difference to the lives of elders in Enliven homes.

“We really can not thank them enough for all they do. As a not-for-profi t organisa-tion I really don’t think we could offer the support we do without them,” says Mary.

Huntleigh Home recreation officer Gwen Esler says without volunteers the atmosphere at Huntleigh Home simply wouldn’t be the same.

“We have so many great volunteers of all different ages, cultures and backgrounds who have become such good friends to many of the residents here,” says Gwen.

“It’s important that residents see different people and stay connected to the com-munity, and volunteers add that diversity. They’re here to spend quality time with

the residents, and it truly means so much to us.”

Gwen says the home has volunteers from all walks of life who all have different hobbies, interests, skills and knowledge to share with the residents.

“Our volunteers range from toddlers to retirees and they all bring something different to the home,” Gwen explains.

“This year we have had so many college students volunteer because of Duke of Edinburgh, and many have stayed on because they’ve enjoyed it so much. It’s so nice to see their relationships fl ourish.”

Enliven homes, such as Huntleigh Home in Karori, Cashmere Home and Cashmere Heights Home in Johnsonville and Long-view Home in Tawa are always on the lookout for volunteers to join their team.

Volunteers are needed to help with ac-tivities such as arts and crafts, gardening, outings, pampering, playing music, driving the home’s van or simply spending time with the residents. If you want to help make a di� erence to the lives of residents at an Enliven home near you call 0508 TO HELP, email [email protected]. For more information about an Enliven home near you, call 0800 36 54 83 [That’s 0800 ENLIVEN] or visit www.enlivencentral.org.nz.

Victoria University’s com-mitment to sustainability and responsible environmental management saw them take out top honours at the prestig-ious Australasia Green Gown Awards.

Victoria University won the carbon reduction category of the awards, recognising its success in reducing CO2 from buildings and transportation on campus by 12 per cent since 2007.

The CO2 reductions hap-pened during a period when the University has continued to grow.

Victoria is the fi rst New Zea-land University to win the carbon reduction award, which was accepted by Environmen-tal Manager Andrew Wilks.

Vice-Chancellor Professor Grant Guilford won the leader-ship category for his ongoing work in a number of areas, including integrating sustain-ability into the University’s strategic plan and encouraging government to set more ambi-

tious climate change targets.The Green Gown Awards

recognise excellence in sus-tainability within the tertiary education sector, and are open to tertiary institutions from Australia, New Zealand and the Pacifi c.

The 2015 award ceremony was held in Geelong, Australia with Victoria one of only two New Zealand universities se-lected as fi nalists.

Professor Guilford sees Victoria’s representation and success at the awards as ac-knowledgement of the impor-tance the University places on environmental responsibility in all aspects of its operations.

“I would like to thank all Victoria University staff who through their daily actions right across our teaching, re-search and campus operations are committed to ensuring a more sustainable future for our community.

“We are honoured to accept the awards,” says Professor Guilford.

Sustaining Success

Marsden Primary School girls are getting creative to spread the Buddy Day message, with the event taking place on November 13.

Besides getting the chance to design and dress a ‘big doll’, the students at all-girls school Marsden Primary in Karori spent the start of this term learning both how to be a good friend, and what it takes to raise a child.

The national event involves 1800 adults in Hamilton, Auck-land, Tauranga, Ruapehu and Wellington adopting life-sized cardboard ‘Buddies’ and taking them into communities and workplaces.

Marsden Primary teacher Richard Larsen said the school opted to be involved because they felt that Buddy Day pro-vided a good opportunity for their students to learn that it takes a community to look after a child.

“Our students have absolutely loved taking part in Buddy Day and were very receptive to it,” he said.

“We talked a lot about what makes a good buddy and what it takes to raise a child.

“One thing we noticed that was quite profound was how the students projected their strengths and challenges onto the Buddies which resulted in a non-confrontational way to get them talking about their personal challenges.”

Prior to Buddy Day, the Bud-dies are created by school and preschool children, where they are dressed, decorated, and given a name and story.

Child Matters chief executive Anthea Simcock said in its origins, Buddy Day was created to challenge existing attitudes

Children get creative to support Buddy Day

and behaviours towards the way we value our children, and shift us all towards a society that prioritises the wellbeing of children in everything we do.

“We want to encourage people to do what they can to impact children’s lives in positive ways every day – whether it is making

a change for one child, or doing something that will make a difference for many,” she said.

Participation in Buddy Day is free. Adults can register as Buddy ‘carers’ and schools can register as Buddy ‘creators’ at www.buddyday.org.nz

This year marks 175 years of public libraries in Wellington and next year the Central Li-brary building on Victoria Street will be 25 years old.

With this in mind the Welling-ton City Council said it was time to consider giving the library building a makeover.

The council was asking for members of the community to come forward with their ideas, opinions and feedback on refreshing the internal design of the building.

Councillor Sarah Free said

libraries were important to residents and the Central Library particularly so, with more visi-tors annually than Te Papa.

“Libraries are changing rap-idly – books, magazines etc. are still important but there are more online resources and the possibility of a greater variety of activities happening within the space.

“This refresh of the Central Li-brary will be a once in a decade event. I’d encourage everyone interested to have their say”.

People can provide their feed-

back by attending one of the following public meetings at the mezzanine meeting room at the Central Library.

Saturday, November 28 from midday to 2pm; Wednesday, December 2 from 7pm; and Tuesday, December 3 from midday to 2pm and from 7pm.

Future of Central Library

Feedback can also be made by fi lling in an online feedback form at wcl.govt.nz/centralfeedback by December 11.

There is a brand new bright blue food truck in town much to the delight of Miramar locals.

Eat Street is the brainchild of Wellington chefs Steve Barrett and Zoe Lloyd. Steve previously owned the wildly popular Elements Cafe in Lyall Bay and Zoe worked alongside him.

Together with Steve’s wife Nicola the trio has offi cially opened for business on Park Road in Miramar.

This comes after the group pur-chased their bright blue food truck from Tauranga.

Following extensive modifi cations

the group said they were thrilled they could now fi re up the grill.

“We had been chef dreaming over what we could do and we were all keen on the food truck thing,” Scott said.

“One thing led to another and here we are.”

When developing a menu Scott said they wanted to offer a healthy salad, something in the deep fryer, as well as gluten free and vegetarian options.

Zoe said they wanted to be able to offer food from all around the world – whether that was a burger or a taco.

“We want to have food that is

interesting as well as stuff that no one has had before,” she said.

The pair said their philosophy was to offer tasty fast food.

“There are no hidden ingredients – if someone asks us what is in our burger patties we can tell them,” said Scott.

Scott said everyone had been “hanging out” to see what they were going to do.

“Lots of them have been very curious and have visited already to check out what we are doing.”

Eat Street is located at 127 Park Road in Miramar and is open Monday to Friday.

Last chance to vote in fl ag referendum

The fi rst referendum on the New Zealand fl ag starts this week, and those wanting to take part have only a few days left to get enrolled. Voting papers will be sent out from this Friday, but can only be sent to those who are enrolled by today, Thursday November 19. In this referendum, voters will be choosing which of fi ve alternative fl ag designs will go to the second referendum

in March. In the second ref-erendum, voters will choose between the current New Zealand flag and the most preferred alternative from the fi rst referendum.

Countdown and the Salvation Army have kicked off their annual Christmas Food Rescue Appeal to help the grow-ing number of New Zealanders who have registered for food assistance.

Countdown is encouraging shoppers to make a food donation in-store, or a cash donation at the checkout as part the annual Food Rescue Appeal.

The Salvation Army’s National Secretary for Social Services, Major Pamela Waugh, said around 26,000 families would ask for food assistance by the end of December.

“Many families come to us with complicated debt issues that need in depth work over a long period.

“Most of those very fragile families have no disposable income for Christ-mas while other families are only just surviving on their income and need extra assistance.

Major Waugh says celebrating Christmas is important for a child’s social inclusion.

“Our food hampers usually contain meat, vegetables, dessert, fruit and treats that allow families to mark

Christmas as a special occasion.“Without this some families have a

bleak Christmas that’s just a normal day. When school starts in the New Year, other children are talking about their fun Christmas and holidays. What do these children have to contribute if their Christmas has been a non-event?”

The most needed food items for the Christmas Food Rescue Appeal include pasta and rice, cereal, canned food, sauces and spreads, baby food and toiletries, hygiene and cleaning products including nappies.

Kids and parents of Camp Quality Wellington, a voluntary organisation dedicated to enhancing the lives of children living with cancer, were some of the fi rst Kiwis to go on board the 138,000 tonne cruise ship Explorer of the Seas.

The Royal Caribbean megaliner features a rock climbing wall, mini golf course, basketball court, ice skating rink, and currently the country’s only FlowRider surf simulator while fi tting 3800 guests.

The children of Camp Quality were delighted to be on board the ship when it arrived on Wednesday, November 25.

Nine-year-old Jesse said his favourite moment of the day was seeing the Australasian FlowRiding champion, Adam Wildman, do a backfl ip.

“It looked impossible, but he did it six times,” he said. Abby, age 11, was among the group of girls who

stepped up to try out the FlowRider and shred some waves, earning a round of applause from the crowd

of passengers who gathered to watch.“The guide helped me and I got up to my knees. “I liked how they caught you if you started to fall,”

she said.According to 12-year-old Justin the real highlight

of the day was the number of burgers he got to make and eat at the buffet afterwards saying “For me it was the basketball, burgers, and chips.”

Megan Van Den Bogaart, Royal Caribbean NZ Sales Coordinator, said organising the day was well worth it to see the kids’ faces light up as they raced their dads up the rock climbing wall.

“This is the third year Royal Caribbean has held events with Camp Quality.

“We get to have some fun with the kids and try out the new ship at the same time.

“It was all round a great adventure to start the holiday season.”

The Explorer of the Seas will be making 57 port stops this season and its sister ship Voyager of the Seas will make a further 25 stops.

A dance teacher training at a local studio has taken his fi rst steps towards achieving the highest teaching level possible.

Vivencio Samblaceno Jr has been dancing for 25 years, and has been a professional dancer for 19 of those years.

Vivencio started his career in the Philippines before coming to New Zealand and spending 19 years with the Royal New Zealand Ballet.

The dancer, who is now working towards gaining a Fellowship, said he was glad he got to spend so much time dancing professionally and plans to pass his experience on to other aspiring dancers.

“As a teacher I am now responsible for training young students who choose to dance for different reasons.

“Some want to become professionals and I have to cater to all of their needs, while keeping a high standard,” he said.

Before turning to teaching, Vivencio had a rewarding career in ballet.

“As a professional I had the opportunity to work with artists of world class calibre – I was able to play lot of different roles and got to travel at the same time.

“It was wonderful to be a part of,” he said. Vivencio has been working as a dance teacher at

the Jennifer Evans Dance Academy, an established boutique academy based at Samuel Marsden Collegiate School, for six years.

Jennifer Evans, who works alongside Vivencio, coaches trainee teachers to help them qualify under the International Dance Teachers’ Association (IDTA).

Jennifer is also a former professional dancer, having performed with the Queensland Ballet Company, the Dance Company of New South Wales and the Royal New Zealand Ballet.

“I take great pleasure in passing on my knowledge and fi nding new ways to inspire my students.

Dancing towards Fellowship

“The ballet class has some of life’s most important lessons that remain with you forever,” she said.

Jennifer said she has enjoyed working alongside Vivencio while he has passed his Associate and Licentiate teaching examinations with distinction, and taken two modules towards a Fellowship.

“It has been inspiring for me to work with Vivencio,” she said.

Have your say on the new LibraryBy Sharnahea Wilson

Johnsonville’s new state of the art library has taken a step forward with two concept drawings being completed.

Community Facilitator and Portfolio Leader Sarah Free, with help from fellow councillors and the community, will be hosting a public meeting at the Johnson-ville Community Centre so citizens can have their say on what the library should look like.

“We are really delighted with both concepts, they both have a lot to offer,” Councillor Sarah said.

The meeting on December 7 in the hall of the Community Centre will involve a presentation from Athfi eld Architects as well as time for the community to ask questions and give feedback on the two concept designs.

“We really do want to derive the best result.

“The people of Johnsonville have been waiting a long time for this facility,” Councillor Sarah said.

She said council will collect up all the feedback while looking at budgets as well as the pros and cons of each concept design.

“The next stage will be detailed drawings for either one or both of the designs,” she said.

All are welcome to attend the meeting and a lot of time will be allowed for ques-tions as the council wants to provide a good opportunity for people to have their say, Councillor Sarah said.

The council has had help from a group comprised of parents, teachers, rotary and more who have given the perspective of

the community. Councillor Helene Ritchie said the new

library will be Wellington’s most signifi -cant new civic building for years to come.

Council hopes to start building the new library late next year. For those who cannot make the meeting but wish to see the concept designs and give feedback. visit www.newjohnsonvillelibrary.co.nz

In a New Zealand fi rst two local school girls won the top prize for Oceania in the Chinese Profi ciency Compe-tition ‘Chinese Bridge’.

After a long journey from Wellington to Auckland, Auckland to Guangzhou, and Guangzhou to Beijing, Samuel Marsden Collegiate School students Lucy Berger and Annabelle Jessop rep-resented New Zealand in the 2015 ‘Chinese Bridge’ competition.

The pair were accompanied by their Chinese teacher Mrs Jing Ying Herrington and an observer, David Potts, from Rotorua Boys High.

The students won the top prize for Oceania and Lucy also scooped up a six-month scholarship valid for study in China.

Annabelle Jessop said al-though the competition was hard work, it was also a lot of fun.

“We really enjoyed our ex-perience of Chinese culture and improving our Chinese.

“We also made a lot of friends both with contest-ants from other countries and with volunteers from

Yunnan Normal University,” she said.

This year’s Chinese Bridge Competition for Foreign Secondary School Students, was held in the cities of Kunming and Dali in Yun-nan Province.

The theme of the competi-tion was "Learn Chinese, Double Your World".

There were 81 countries and a total of 404 contest-ants, team leaders and ob-servers who went to China for the competition.

The students visited the Great Wall, the Forbidden City and the Confucius Insti-tute's Headquarters on their fi rst day there, and it was all work after that.

In Kunming, the contest-ants sat written Chinese language competency and Chinese cultural knowl-edge tests, followed by their speech competition and im-promptu talk.

A Chinese talent and skill competition completed the competition.

Then based on their overall scores, the New Zealand team went on to the next round placing in the top 10 teams, and subsequently won the top prize for Oceania.

A meeting of about 200 Khan-dallah residents overwhelm-ingly expressed concern about proposed new Medium Density Housing in the area.

The congregation at the Khan-dallah town hall on November 19 was asked for a show of hands and there was almost universal op-position to the Medium Density Housing plans, the Khandallah

Residents Group said.Ratepayers are alarmed at the

prospect that suburban Khandal-lah could have new apartment blocks which may be up to three storeys high.

“Almost universal resident op-position to present plans came through very strongly throughout the evening”, Khandallah Resi-dents Group spokesman Allan

Taylor said. The residents group is con-

cerned the new housing could “destroy the sun and views of long-standing neighbours, create traffi c chaos, leave schools over-fl owing with new students and destroy the value of other homes”.

Councillor Andy Foster told the meeting the council needed to work with the people of Khandal-

lah and that there was no need to rush the process.

“We will listen with sincerity,” he said.

Residents received a presenta-tion of the Wellington City projected population increases and housing needs along with a detailed explanation of and rationale for Council’s medium density housing plans.

Residents had the opportunity to comment and seek further in-formation from Planners and Councillors.

The Khandallah Residents’ Committee which intends to fully participate in ongoing discussions with Council and offi cials has warmly welcomed the Council commitment and initiative, Allan said.

City Mission’s annual Pack the Bus appeal is being warmly welcomed across the region by schools and supermarkets alike.

The Countdown Johnsonville store recently participated in the appeal donating 25 full boxes of product to the bus.

The bus goes around the region collecting food and toys for the

Wellington City Mission to help everyone “have a special Christmas”.

The iconic Pack the Bus, in partnership with The Breeze Wellington, began on November 23 and will run until December 2.

The bus also recently vis-ited Samuel Marsden Collegiate

School where the whole school took part.

The bus received donations from the students and their families along with donations from ex-students who are now at university.

To donate to the cause visit ChristmasStar.co.nz.

This time each year there is a burst of creative energy in Cuba Street as Deirdre Tarrant works with young dancers to make their traditional Christmas show. Last year the Deirdre Tarrant Dance Theatre presented a wonderful Nutcracker ballet and Wellington audiences fl ocked to see this again in July as part of the 150th Birthday celebrations of Wellington. Last month these young dancers travelled to Auckland to perform at the Tempo festival and sold out again. It has been a very busy year of performing for all the talent at Cuba Street –CubaKaleidoscope at CubaDupa was a highlight and recently dancing at the opening of The Attic, at Wellington Museum was special. Two new ballets are in rehearsal right now and getting ready to take the stage at the Opera House on Sunday December 6. The very VERY hungry Caterpillar will be a storybook ballet inspired by that caterpillar who eats his way to becoming a very beautiful butterfl y. Young dancers take the parts of the many foods with wonderful colourful costuming by Jane Ferguson. The roles of the Caterpillar will be danced by Tabitha Watt (Khandallah) who grows until she is

actually 12 dancers! The Leaf by Hilary Lewis (Ngaio) and the Moon by Sofia Holloway (Northland).

DEGAS DECONSTRUCTED is a theatrical and classical look at ideas that may have informed the creation of some of the world’s most famous dance paint-ings. Degas painted from reality at the Paris Opera, and the Scholars at the Tarrant Dance Studios are loving the romantic look of the students of a bygone era. Classical ballet training still uses the language and techniques developed over 100 years ago and Tarrant has used the paintings and the history of ballet to make this work. Callum MacRae will take the role of Degas with Charlotte Kaler as his key muse and with a stunning line up of young talent onstage. Lighting is by Douglas Bonnalack and the dancers are dancing for YOU - the audi-ence! Aiming to reach a wide audience of families, dance lovers and all those who need magic in their lives Deirdre Tarrant Dance Theatre is making this a ‘DOOR SALES cash-only event. All tickets are $10. Don’t miss out the two performances are at 4.30pm and 7.00pm – doors open half an hour before curtain up.

A school effort has been put in to collect 200,000 lids of various colours and shapes.

Johnsonville school teacher Diane Bloomfi eld wanted to show the students “what big numbers look like”.

The teachers and students dis-played 50,000 of the collected lids in colour coded grids.

The school had everyone in the Johnsonville community col-lecting lids that ended up fi lling multiple boxes.

Students, parents, teachers and friends started collecting the lids in August last year and people had continually brought in lids until the day they were displayed last week.

The children helped to sort the abundance of lids into colour-

coded boxes and then lay out one quarter of the collection for the rest of the school to see.

The students sorted the lids into grids with 1000 lids per row.

Diane said once the display of lids had been packed back up, the children will use them to create murals, sculptures and other crea-tive projects.

“We will make whatever the kids want to make with them,” she said.

Parade route: Broderick Rd, Johnsonville Rd,

Moorefield Rd, Frankmoore Ave. A traffic detour will be in place.

WITH SUPPORT FROM:

Flags will be fl ying, lights will be lit, and the giant Christmas trees in Midland Park and Courtenay Place will be twinkling into the evening for this year’s Capital Christmas celebrations.

Mayor Celia Wade-Brown said the holiday season is full of fun and the Wel-lington City Council love adding some Capital Christmas cheer to the city.

“We’ll also be making life a little easier with our discounted weekend bus fares – the idea is a hit with both shoppers and retailers, she said.”

Nick Tansley and his pop-up Christmas caravan will return to the CBD this month to lead some impromptu carol singing sessions with help from enthusiastic passers-by.

On Sunday, December 13 everyone’s favourite floats roll into town for the Santa Parade.

The popular family event will feature Christmas classics such as bagpipes and brass bands, clowns and Chinese dragon

dancers, as well as a few new surprises. When the excitement of Santa’s early

visit to Wellington is over, parade-goers can head up to Cuba Street to check out the popular thoroughfare's festive makeover and enjoy a giant gathering of street performers.

The following day, December 14, is the fi nal day of Chanukah, and time to celebrate at the local Jewish community’s biggest event of the year – Chanukah in the Park.

Chanukah in the Park is presented by the Wellington Jewish Community Centre, Temple Sinai and the Embassy of Israel, with support from the Council.

Retail therapy will be extra tempting this month too as shops all over the city will be vying for the top spot in the Christmas window dressing competition.

There are plenty of exciting prizes for voters, so shoppers are encouraged to get involved and pick the effort that most impresses.

A December to remember and a happy new year

The Johnsonville toy library will be open with an abundance of toys available to hire out on Saturday before the annual Christmas parade.

The library, situated in the Johnsonville Community Centre, offers parents the chance to hire out new toys every week for their children.

From scooters and puzzles to drum sets, wagons and costumes, there are many toys for kids to enjoy.

The library has been running for 34 years, has accumulated over 500 toys and wants to see more members of the community utilising the service.

Toy Library Committee Chairperson Liz Lester said the committee has had a fantastic year with fundraising and receiving generous grants from the Wellington City Council, the Johnsonville Charitable Trust, the Freemasons and the Lotteries Foundation.

“This enabled us to update our computer systems, add loads of new toys and freshen up the fantastic toys we already have,” she said.

Everybody who goes to grab a toy on Saturday before the parade will get a free Whittaker’s chocolate bar of their choice.

You can take your children to the toy library in room one in the Community Centre on a Saturday morning between 9.30am and 11am or on a Thursday evening between 7.30pm and 8.30pm, and talk to librarian Tina Ballesteros about becoming a member.

Dan Forster, 5, and Christine Ballesteros, 4, show o� some of the newest toys available at the Johnsonville toy library. PHOTO: Sharnahea Wilson

Shopping locally stimulates our local economy.

Children from Worser Bay School have delved into their backyards to make this year’s school fair something special - and very local.

Using produce the children have scav-enged from their backyards and with a little help from local suppliers, chef and school mum Hannah Thornton has put together an amazing array of goodies to stock the popu-lar deli at the fair on Sunday, November 8.

“We really wanted to use as much local produce as we could as it came into season.

“The children and their parents have brought in lots, as have friends and family and Kim [Chin] from Miramar Fruit Supply supplied the rest.”

Hannah has assorted a tasty range in-cluding preserves, chutneys, mustards, cordials, kimchi (a Korean pickle), relishes and even a pizza sauce.

For those wanting an early start there are also Christmas cakes and mince meat for Christmas pies.

Burgers, dumplings, pizzas from the

school’s own pizza ovens, Thai fi shcakes and many other food stalls will be keep-ing everyone fed on the day.

The theme for this year’s fair is “Our Secret Garden”.

Worser Bay School principal Jude Pente-cost says this ties in well with the learning the children have been doing this year.

“Relationships are at the heart of our school and strongly refl ected in our cur-riculum. This year's inquiry, 'What and Who is in Our Backyard' has been full of rich learning experiences and provides a great link to the fair.”

Money raised from the fair will go towards various school projects.

In the past these have included help with digital technology, additional staffing, teacher professional development and the engagement of a writing specialist. Worser Bay School Fair - 168 Seatoun Heights Rd, Sunday, November 8, from 11am to 2pm, rain or shine. Some Eftpos available.

Array of goodies at local fair

Chef Hannah Thornton has used local, seasonal produce provided by Worser Bay School chil-dren, friends and family to put together a tasty array of treats that will be on sale at the school fair on Sunday, November 8.

Episode 2 of Karori Event Centre (KEC) TV has been launched and looks at the many uses of the new com-munity hall when it’s built. It's the local kids that feature in this light hearted episode. The architecturally designed hall will be a central venue for community classes and ac-tivities, fundraisers, fairs, movies, private functions, meetings, exhibitions and events. With a 16m stage and retractable seating (218) it brings with it the oppor-tunity for performances and concerts close to home. It can also be used for civil defense purposes. Catering for Karori and surrounding Western sub-urbs it’s the one venue that is still missing in New Zealand’s largest suburb. Ultimately this community space is all about people, community members being able to connect through their interests. The Karori Community Hall Trust, a group of local volunteers, needs another $350,000 for construction of the Centre. “Together we will make this happen for our community”, said KCHT Secretary Barrie Keenan. Donations will be gratefully accepted now, so the build can start and the Karori Event Centre can open in 2017. PBA

Staff and volunteers at the Wellington SPCA are calling on locals to show their support for the organisation’s annual appeal which is taking place this week.

The SPCA’s Annual Appeal is a nationwide campaign that aims to raise funds to help animals in need and promote their humane treatment.

It is the organisation’s biggest fundrais-ing event of the year.

Wellington SPCA volunteers and staff will hit Wellington’s streets from Friday, collecting donations as part of its annual appeal.

The appeal also coincides with the SPCA’s annual List of Shame which highlights the worst cases of animal cruelty that have occurred in New Zealand over the last 12 months.

Royal New Zealand SPCA chief executive Ric Odom said the job of animal rescue and protection was often a challenging and heart breaking one.

“Sadly the List of Shame shows the

SPCA and the public there is still work to be done to protect New Zealand’s animals.

“We have deliberately released the List of Shame on the week of our annual appeal as SPCAs around New Zealand need funds to continue their work.

“The List of Shame highlights the on-going need for the inspectorates who daily rescue abused and neglected animals as well as providing education, vet care and shelter for these vulnerable pets.”

Ric said SPCA’s work is almost en-tirely funded by donations and legacies of generous New Zealanders.

“Hundreds of volunteers and their pets will be hitting the streets during our annual appeal and we give our thanks to them and everyone who donates.” The SPCA asks Wellingtonians to give generously during the SPCA An-nual Appeal or donate online at www.WellingtonSPCA.org.nz

Every year the SPCA helps more than 6000 animals in the Wellington region.

SPCA Appeal week

THE SPCA’S LIST OF SHAME:The SPCA releases its List of Shame annually to raise awareness of animal welfare issues and the ongoing need for education and vigilance around preventing cruelty to animals. In-cluded in this year’s list:Two men filmed themselves while encouraging dogs to viciously attack two goats, and then posted the videos on social media.A Greymouth man was convicted and sentenced for two years and fi ve months in prison after he beat a cat to

death, cut off its paws and hung them outside his garage as a memento. He also caught his neighbour’s cat, set it alight with petrol and fi lmed it as it ran around in a blaze. He then dumped it, thinking it was dead. Four-month-old lab cross Molly was discovered tied up and alone in the back lawn of her owner’s home. Molly became tangled in the rope tether and it cut through her neck so deeply it al-most cut her jugular vein. If she wasn’t rescued by an SPCA inspector, she probably would have died that day.

Our summer pools were built by us.Blends in well did cause no fuss.With hydro slide will cause a splash.And to it many people dash. Through native bush we twist and wiggle.From the children brings a giggle.Severn days a week the place is open.Hot summer days we all are hopen!

Homewood, Karori, hosted its 18th International Christmas Fair on Saturday, November 28 raising money for Save the Children through a celebration of food and dance. Wellington President of Save the Children Sue Cloth-ier described the fair as “one of its best ever events”. A very stormy start turned into a glorious spring day for the event held at the residence of the British High Commissioner. The fair was enjoyed by about 1400 adults as well as many children. For the first time 10 embassies were represented, which the British High Commissioner’s wife, Helen Sinclair organised. Many children performed while an appreciative audience sat on the grass and ate tasty Asian foods, sausages, bacon butties, sweets and more. Sue thanked the Wellington public for its support over the years. She estimated the fair raised around $23,000 for Save the Children.

Hundreds of children are expected to turn out for the upcoming Cigna Kids Waterfront Fun Run on the Waterfront.

Competitors will have the chance to re-ceive a personalised race bib and certifi cate on the day and be in with the chance to win spot prizes.

Races will be held for preschoolers through to year eight students with the younger ones running 500m to 1km, and older children running 2km.

The annual event is in its third year and held in conjunction with Sport Wellington and Athletics Wellington.

Athletics Wellington Sport Development Manager Jo Murray said Cigna Life Insur-ance staff will be involved on the day.

“They will be volunteering as course marshals and running a Cigna Carnival at Frank Kitts Park with face painting, BBQ, ice cream and other goodies.

“The carnival is a fundraiser for Achilles International.

“The Cigna staff are awesome getting out there along the waterfront course encouraging the kids along the way.

“Parents are also welcome to run along-side their kids.”

Former world mountain running cham-pion Melissa Moon will be presenting medals for the top three place getters in each grade.

The fun run has increased in popularity each year, with 350 competing last year, Melissa said.

“Numbers have increased by more than 150 each year.

“With 130 registered to date it promises to be the biggest event yet - it will be a festival atmosphere.”

Those who enter online before December 8 will receive a personalised race bib and certifi cate on the day and be in with the chance to win spot prizes.

The event on Wednesday, December 16 starts and fi nishes at Frank Kitts Park.

Two local girls made their debut in the Wellington Blaze cricket team having a couple of “very good wins”.

Emma Fullbrook and Jess McFadyen have both played cricket for a long time and this year were selected to be part of the Wellington Blaze team.

High performance manager for Cricket Wellington Robbie Kerr said both of the girls are very talented athletes and excep-tionally good cricketers.

Coach Mark Borthwick said he was very

happy with the girls’ performance over the weekend.

“Emma had a very good weekend and Jess had the opportunity to play on Satur-day and she was great.

“They got off to a very good start,” he said.

Wellington Blaze played three games against Northern Spirit with a Twenty/20 on the Friday and two one-day games on Saturday and Sunday.

The team and coach were disappointed when the Friday game was rained off, after bowling Northern Spirit out for 63, without

having the chance to bat. Mark said he had known about Emma for

a long time since she started playing cricket at the age of 12.

He also coached Jess many years ago before she left on a hockey scholarship.

Jess said after having four years off cricket she started playing again last year.

“It was nice to make the team after working hard.

“It’s a pretty strong squad,” she said. The team will continue to play three

games per weekend with the season ending in mid-February.

Cricket debut a swinging success
