HERE TO HELP

By Dan Whitfi eldAfter a number of weeks covered in paint splatters, artist Brittany Buttenshaw

has completed her fi rst ever art exhibition – with inspiration coming from her 4-year-old son.

The Te Aro resident has been studying a multi-disciplinary degree at WelTec which, as part of her fi nal assignment required her to create installations to display at the New Zealand Portrait Gallery.

Brittany’s paintings are part of a series called ‘Mum, can you play with me,’ which explores the sensations and innocence in childhood through capturing snippets of time.

Studying her son’s facial expres-sions, Brittany wanted to encounter lost time in the busyness of parent-hood, experiencing the enjoyment that her son gets from the simplest pleasures in life.

“Everyone knows my son as quite a character, and to capture the fun in his actions is something that is special to me,” Brittany says.

Brittany used a range of media and techniques to complete the two paintings selected for the display, pri-marily using her hands and fi ngers.

The two paintings underwent a lot of change before being hung in the gallery, with nights spent touching them up here and there. She says each one had multiple layers of paint, all of which were applied over about eight weeks.

Late nights and paint splatters

Now that she has fi nished her Bachelor of Creative Technologies, majoring in visual arts, Brittany is looking to develop her series and hopefully work towards her own independent art exhibition.

“It’s what I like doing. I love portrait drawing and capturing people’s expres-sions. I’m looking forward to painting without the pressure doing it for assign-ments,” Brittany says.

Chairman no more – but still your local GPBy Dan Whitfi eld

A journey that has spanned about 20 years has come to an end following the announcement that Dr Richard Tyler will retire as chairman of Compass Health.

The Johnsonville practitioner told the board he would not stand again at the annual general meeting later this month.

“It has been a pleasure to serve as chair but I feel I’ve done enough,” Richard tells the Independent Herald.

Over the years, the organisation has grown from serving six practices with one staff member, to now serving 60 practices and more than 290,000 enrolled patients – with Johnsonville and Newlands as two of the longest involved.

“I am glad to be leaving the or-ganisation in very good shape and well prepared for more challenges ahead,” Richard says.

Some of the emphasis Richard has been a part of in recent years is on

service integration, including the Integrated Care Collaborative. He has also been part of ground-breaking work in a social sector trial.

While the annual general meeting is scheduled for the end of November, Richard is positive he will have a suc-cessor in place.

“There’s always a time to move on,” he says.

The most likely decision as a replace-ment will be the current deputy chair, Larry Jordan.

Richard’s plan after standing down is to continue his role practising as a GP at Johnsonville Medical Centre.

“I am looking forward to having more time with family at the recently acquired holiday home up north and being able to pursue my sporting and recreational interests,” he says.

In addition to being a busy GP and shareholder at Johnsonville Medical Centre, Richard is also chairman of Medical Assurance Group of Compa-nies, an executive committee member of GPNZ, and a director of BPAC.

With a focus on winning this year’s World 24 Hour Solo Mountain Bike Championships, Kim Hurst has returned triumphant.

Supported by Mud Cycles in Ka-rori, Kim overcame major obstacles to complete the perfect race in her eyes, bringing home the rainbow stripe. She also managed to secure a better result than last year.

The mountain bike racer says right from day one she had been keen to match it with the top riders, and to take it out this year was an amazing achievement.

Kim, originally from the United Kingdom, had a bit of an advantage and knew what the terrain would be like, after having raced in the Scottish highlands before and prac-ticing on similar courses here in Wellington.

“It was great because I knew I had it in the bag, having spent less than seven minutes not cycling,” Kim says.

“It was hard but I pushed on.” she says.

The 36-year-old was up against

the world’s best, with much of the competition infl uenced by European presence. The win has given the local Hutt Valley local a new-found confi dence, with her looking forward to getting back on the bike after a little break.

On the way to winning, Kim rode 321 kilometres with almost 11,000 metres of it up hill.

She rode one bike the entire time, and consumed 6000 calories.

Kim fi nished 12th out of 170 racers from 23 different countries, and would have placed sixth in the elite men's category.

At this stage, Kim is working towards next year’s world marathon championships, but in the meantime will focus her training on the upcom-ing Tour de Vineyards in Nelson.

Kim says Mud Cycles in Karori had been so supportive towards her success.

“Those guys have really helped me out. They know what they are on about,” she says.

The mountain bike racer also holds the record on the Karapoti Classic, winning the 2014 event in two hours, 45 minutes, and 29 seconds.

Champion again

While Karori is known for many things including having the country’s second largest cemetery, soon it will be known once again as the home of acclaimed performer Ariana Tikao.

Ariana will be releasing her fi rst single since her album From Dust to Light in 2012. Kia Mataara will drop this week and has been eagerly anticipated by her fans and whanau.

“It's a message to stay true to yourself and stay strong in the face of whatever is to come,” Ariana says.

The new waiata is dedicated to and inspired by her teenage daughter. The hauntingly beautiful song has at its heart a call to all young women to, as the title says, ‘be alert and vigilant’ and to be strong within themselves.

The fi rst recording of the new single was made at in Nelson as part of a whanau album that Ariana is working

on with Solomon Rahui and Holly Weir Tikao.

Music has always been something Ari-ana has enjoyed, taking a representative position in her school kapa haka group and writing songs while at university. She has been playing since 1993, and has been a solo artist since the early 2000s.

The ethereal music Ariana creates is inspired and infl uenced by her Maori an-cestry and she draws upon the dramatic landscape of Te Wai Pounamu – the South Island of New Zealand.

Originally from Christchurch, she moved to Karori in 2011.

She is looking to fi nish off the whanau album by Chirstmas, and will be work-ing on another project to do with Maori instruments.

Her single will be available at www.arianatikao.bandcamp.com from No-vember 1.

Raroa Normal Intermediate School is reshaping the face of technology class with a project to create a learning street as part of its new Design and Production Education (DPE) programme.

DPE allows students to include an element of business enterprise into the technology curriculum during the school year however, the idea is to create a hub where all the subjects will be located under one roof.

Deputy principal Jason Ataera says:

“It’s innovative and creative and will help keep students on track throughout the year.”

The learning street hub is set to cost about $500,000 with the Ministry of Education part fund-ing the project, and the school covering the remainder.

A construction date to begin the project has been scheduled for 2015 however funding is needed which is why the support is being sought by staff and students.

The school is currently fundrais-ing to take the concept further, with already a Ladies Fashion Night planned for later in the term. New Zealand Woman's Weekly editor Lisa O'Neil will be present at the fashion night.

Students are also organising several market days which are set to run over November 13-14, and 17-19, where they will pitch and sell products developed in DPE.

Raroa Normal Intermediate School already has a new iPad to help students in the DPE pro-gramme, as well as a 3D printer and laser cutter.

The school hopes the new hub will allow the students to have more freedom as part of the tech-nology curriculum, and skills that teachers occupy will still be used in day-to-day classroom activities.

Eye on Crime

Neighbourhood Watch

In Johnsonville a garage in Broderick Road was broken into and a Honda motorcycle stolen. In Newlands a house in Glanmire Road was entered after o� ender forced the front door.

A messy search was made of the house and a quantity of New Zealand and foreign currency and some jewellery was stolen.

Another burglary took place at com-mercial premises in McMillan Court where access was gained through forced front doors.

Tradesmans tools and copper cabling were stolen. Another burglary was at-tempted at commercial premises in Newlands Road where a large hole was made in the front window.

The attempt to enter was abandoned. In Salford Street a white Ford van was entered via a smashed rear window and tradesman’s tools stolen.

A house In Horokiwi Road was entered and an Iphone and a wallet containing a drivers licence and bank cards was stolen. A grey Mazda hatchback parked overnight in the driveway of a house in Trebann Street was found by the owner next morning with all four mag wheels stolen.

A blue Subaru Legacy station wagon parked overnight in Kinapori Terrace was stolen, despite being left fully secure, alarmed and immobilised.

In Khandallah there were two burglaries during the past week. A boat located outside a house in Madras Street was broken into and an outboard motor and a variety of � shing gear stolen.

In Onslow Road the basement of a house was forcibly entered and an extension lad-der and some stereo equipment stolen.

A large ceramic pot containing a Daphne bush was stolen from the front entrance of a house in Homebush Road. In Everest Street a black Ford Mondeo van was entered via a smashed window and a mag torch stolen.

Glee club proves a hitWellington musicians Tania Dreaver Parker

and Ruth Armishaw are on a mission to bring the sheer joy of making music and performing to children who may never have experienced it before.

The two volunteers established The Crofton Downs School Glee Club in August and so far, the results are beyond their wildest expectations with about 50 children putting their hands up to be part of it.

Tania says it is a once a week music pro-gramme that sees the students from year three to six take part in singing, drama, theatre sports, as well as giving them a chance to learn musical instruments.

“They were promised ‘piratical rumbustifi -cations’ including learning how to do staged sword fi ghts, pirate dancing and singing and other fun activities…That brought in quite a few boys, which delighted us because they tend to be very focussed on sports,” Tania says.

The fi rst sessions gave the young performers a chance to learn from the multi-talented

LeRoi Kippen who showed them the sort of energy, athletic moves and dancing seen in the Wellington performance of Grease earlier this year.

Despite principal Toby Stokes giving support he warned Tania and Ruth that num-bers would potentially drop off as they went along however, numbers grew as week two rolled around.

Some parts of the programme have been abandoned because of the loss of the school ha l l , which needs $400,000 of earthquake strengthening.

Tania says it is a case of life refl ecting art be-cause in the TV series Glee, the cast also lose their hall and has to raise money to fix it.

This Saturday, the students will be perform-ing at the school’s fundraising Matsuri Gala at 1.30pm.

The Gala will also run between 11am-2pm. Students will present a small taster of

everything they have learnt so far this term.

It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s Superman…no wait, its Carol Griffi n – Johnsonville’s own hero.

Acknowledged by Mayor Celia Wade-Brown at a formal ceremony last Wednesday, Carol was awarded with the City Housing Hero Award for 2014 for her kind and gener-ous nature towards her fellow neighbourly tenants.

Carol has been living at the Heath St Flats for about 10 years, and for the past three has been heavily involved as the community room co-ordinator and organiser of birthday barbeques and park picnics.

“It’s just something I like to do. I like being involved and

helping people,” Carol says.Her recent award looks back

at the difference she has made on the lives of other tenants in the area, and those living in the same complex as her.

As a coordinator for the fl ats, Carol says it is a nice way to be involved.

“I just took it upon myself to help out…Helping other tenants to makes sure they are settled and have everything they need, and are involved is what I’m about,” Carol says.

“I also feed some of the younger people that live here who need food,” she says.

Carol was presented with a framed award and fl owers from the mayor.

One tenant she has helped over the years was Bob Dam-mer.

A group of Churton Park School students have put their entrepreneurial hats on to create a company that will fund future projects around the school in the long run.

Last term, the group of year six boys formed Connected Industries, with the goal to develop, and sell a unique product with profi ts spent on resources that will benefit all children at Churton Park School.

Teacher Kelly Cooper says the decision was to design a product that used the school’s motto, connected. After much planning, t-shirt designs were created and screen printed.

“The idea has given them a chance to establish and experience running their own

Company gets connected

company,” Kelly says.She says it has been great,

even though it an optional exercise, the students really got involved.

A number teachers and stu-dents have backed the product already and an offi cial launch

will be held today at the school.Students will be marketing

and selling the Connected Industries t-shirts.

At this stage, the plan for funding will be for new goals on the fi eld or physical educa-tion equipment.

Appearance medicine has come a long way in recent years, and thanks to medical advances and changes in attitudes, it has become an effective and realistic option for everyday people.

At the forefront of this social shift is Cour-tenay Cosmetic Clinic. Founded in 2010 the clinic’s philosophy is around putting the highest-quality laser and appearance medicine treatments within reach, provid-ing long-lasting results to boost appearance and confi dence.

They say ageing is an attitude and for many Wellingtonians appearance medicine is as much a part of the beauty routine

as going to the hairdressers. The most popular appearance medicine treatment continues to be anti-wrinkle injections. Clinically proven around the world, anti-wrinkle injections are a quick and easy way to naturally rejuvenate your appearance by smoothing out lines and wrinkles. The results generally last between 3-4 months and are most commonly used for frown lines, smile/crows lines and the upper lip.

Look and feel great this festive season by contacting one of Courtenay Clinic’s three locations: Courtenay Place, Johnsonville or The Terrace for a free consultation.

All Day BreakfastYUMMY FRIED CHICKEN

By Dan Whitfi eld

An opportunity for crafty attitudes to shine is getting closer with the second annual Churton Park Craft Market running later this month.

Churton Park children and adults will be putting together a showcase of creative creations and one-of-a-kind knick-knacks to be sold on the night, and proceeds from a raffl e on the night will go towards the Autism Intervention Trust.

About 10 children and 14 adults will be running stalls at the craft market, selling a variety of items including duct tape wallets, craft activity kits, Christmas decorations, home-made sherbet, and pencil toppers.

Community Centre Advocate Beckie Duffy says it has only been going for two years and organisers are hopefully this year will be bigger than previous.

She says last year over 800 people came through the door to experience the market.

Four schools are involved in this year’s event, with Churton Park Little School, Churton Park Kindergarten, and Churton Park School signed up to help. Amesbury School will be running a cake stall at the market.

There will be entertainment on the night, New World Churton Park will be running a wine tasting stand, and the local girl guides will be feeding everyone through a sausage sizzle.

The market will run on November 14 from 5pm to 8pm.

Track upgrade on its wayThe Northern Walkway from the entrance opposite 19 Trelis-

sick Crescent down to the Korimako Stream is set to have a major upgrade later this year.

Parts of the grassy slope are steep and the track at the zigzags is eroded, especially lower down – which is one reason why the upgrade will be taking place.

David Halliday and Matt Robertson from Wellington City Council discussed the scope of the work with Trelissick Park Group during a recent site visit.

This part of the walkway will be closed during the upgrade.

Ghosts, ghouls, and spooky pumpkins had Ada Shanley, Corrine Martin, Cyreus Morizzo, and Matariki Hautapu and their classmates preoccupied last week.

In the lead up to Halloween, Otari School – Te Kura o Otari students got

creative creating their own ghosts to hang up in the classroom window.

The students made them during the week leading up to the seasonal event which marks the end of October.

The ghosts were made out of recycled plastic shopping bags.

e mails. Not a scary costume was in sight or a ‘trick or treat’ to be heard when Hal-loween rolled around this year, instead Karori children were out looking for donations toward their local food bank.

Children involved were aged between six and 12-years-old, and were really excited to be out helping their commu-nity. They were put into action by the Karori Baptist Church, gathering up all the collections that were organised prior to October 31.

Pastor Naomi Compton says: “We wanted the children to have fun and dress up but we also wanted to impact the community positively.”

“It was an opportunity to teach [them] that they really can serve people in need,” Naomi says.

Louise Hamblin, who is involved in the Karori Food Bank, says many people would be surprised to hear that there are families in Karori going hungry.

The food bank currently supports about 98 households in the Wellington suburb of Karori. The fi ve local churches combine to run the community initiative.

Members of the community were impressed to see the haul the children had collected, with some saying it was wonderful to see how generous some had been.

At some houses the group of collectors had to queue behind other children who were after lollies.

Robert Gilmore, one of the adults accompanying the groups, says: “Some-times people were surprised when the children explained that they wanted tins but they were happy to give us three or four cans and a lot of people congratu-lated the children.”

“It’s been awesome…Instead of just receiving stuff these guys have gone out and made a difference. That’s got to be good,” Naomi says.

Artwork created by busy little fi ngers at Central City Preschool has raised about $2600 to go towards a playground sunshade.

Family members and friends of the preschool came out to support the fun-draising auction with a “very generous” attitude which manager Lisa Marshall says was amazing.

On the night, work created by group the children – with a little bit of help from teachers – was sold with funds going towards a sunshade which will be

bought and installed ahead of summer.Out of the truly creative group art-

works, the most popular was one of Elmer the Patchwork Elephant.

Lisa says is really pleased with the support that friends and family have shown towards the fundraiser.

The preschool raised about $50,000 for the new playground however a sunshade was needed to protect the children who would be using it during the summer.

“There’s been a lot of support from businesses in the city as well as parents and friends of the preschool,” Lisa says.

Professor Vanessa Green from Victoria’s School of Education says most teachers have not been trained in how to deal with bullying.

To help combat this issue, a new bullying prevention pro-gramme for schools has been created and will be the fi rst in the Southern hemisphere.

The programme is called KiVa, which means against bullying. So far it has proven successful in many schools across Northern Europe where offi cials have seen both a reduc-tion in bullying and an increase in learning achievements.

At this stage, it will only be of-fered to primary schools around the country but has the potential to grow to other schools in years to come.

The programme focuses on three distinct groups – the bully, the victim, and bystanders. It uses the involvement and com-mitment from the wider school community to assist with the bullying issue at hand.

Education manager Deidre Vercauteren says the beauty of the programme is that it focuses heavily on prevention.

“It’s not just a reaction to problems—it works in the back-ground to reduce the number of bullying incidents,” she says.

Combating bullying in New Zealand

IT NEEDS TO STOP: Professor Vanessa Green from Victoria’s School of Education. PHOTO: Supplied.

Victoria’s School of Education will be conducting evaluation studies on KiVa to measure its effectiveness.

“The school’s research has already revealed that 94 per cent of New Zealand teach-

ers and principals recognise that bullying is a ser ious problem and that we need to do someth ing about it ,” says professor Vanessa Green from Victoria’s School of Edu-cation.

The City Housing Unit and Town Belt Planning team at Wellington City Council received high commendations thanks to core values which are continuing across the region.

City Housing Unit received an award in the infrastructure category for its $400 million Housing Upgrade Programme, while the Town Belt Planning team – a joint force from the Parks, Sport and Recreation and Consultation and Engage-

ment teams – was selected in the environment category.

The annual core va lues awards were awarded in an event in Sydney during Oc-tober.

Mayor Celia Wade-Brown believes involving the city in decisions is part of what makes Wellington the “coolest little capital”.

“This is not the first time we’ve been recognised for our excellence, and it was

especially pleasing to have had two fi nalists this year in these prestigious awards,” she says.

Since the fi rst project in 2008, council has been working hard to involved tenants in its Hous-ing Upgrade Programme, with some invited to work with architects in the early design stages on what the priorities for the upgrade should be.

Martin Rodgers, manager of research, consultation and planning, says: “Public par-

ticipation is about engaging with and involving the people affected by our work, in what we do and how we do it.”

“It’s something the City Council is really committed to and it’s already great to be recognised by our interna-tional peers for doing it well,” Martin says.

Council’s Town Belt Planning project was praised for being innovative in its approach.

The Karori Sanctuary Trust held its annual general meeting recently, with the event reaching over 90 members who turned up on the day.

The annual update and presentations on Zealandia’s work and conservation successes saw the announcement of new, extended summer hours met with excite-ment.

Many members said they will use the

extra time to get their daily dose of nature. Zealandia members will have exclusive

access to the sanctuary from 7am each day. This is one of many benefi ts of supporting

the sanctuary’s vision and contributing to conservation with an annual membership.

The public can explore the sanctuary from 9am every day, giving them an extra 7 hours a week to encounter our rare and endangered inhabitants.

Sanctuary open for longer


Students from Khandallah Ballet Academy took centre stage for their ballet recital recently, showcasing what they have learnt this year.

Sporting success at Onslow

By Dan Whitfi eld

It has been four years in the making but the under 19 football team from Waterside Karori has fi nally been crowned victors of the Satellite Tournament.

The national tournament was played over Labour Weekend and saw the team top its group with an unbeaten record – only conceding one goal against it throughout the competition.

Coach Dave Capstick says the team did really well and the win means we get promoted to the main draw of elite New Zealand clubs for the fi rst time since 2002.

“Getting back to the main draw has been our goal,” Dave says.

In the past, the side had made two semis but unfortunately lost them both, however this year was another story – and hard work paid off with the u19s going all the way.

During the tournament, the team came up against some strong opposing sides but did well to maintain a winning attitude. The side scored 18 goals over the weekend.

“We won every game,” Dave says.

The fi nal came down to penalties and saw keeper Kieran Spargo make the decisive save to give Waterside Karori a 5-4 win.

The team was made up of seven players from under 17, seven from higher club grades, and two guest players, one of which was 15-year-old Matt Tod-Smith from Nelson. Another guest player was Rhys Janes.

Players of the tournament were Alex Brodie and Dylan Wood.

The win means the team can start preparing for the 2015 season.

Dave says it will allow the club to keep working on players who will be around next year and making sure the team is strong for another season.

“This has been building for over four years…Nothing would have been possible without the help of manager Bruce Duncan. He keeps the team going like a well-oiled machine,” Dave says.

For fi ve of the players the Labour Weekend tournament was their last game in the u19 grade.
