SpeedlimitsBuses and Parking major problem for child care centres

By Aaron Meredith

Speeding buses and a lack of parking are two of the problems facing teachers, parents and children in early childhood centres in Wainuiomata.

There is little to no road signs outside of many centres in the valley warning drivers to slow down.

Jack and Jill Kindergarten has been fi ghting with New Zealand Buses for many years, fi nally asking Hutt South MP Trevor

Mallard for help.It is only since he got involved

the bus company has responded.The kindergarten has two signs

warning drivers of the centre, but these were only put up after a child was hit by a car a few years back.

“It is only a matter of time before someone gets hit again.” says head teacher Chris Moses.

“I understand the drivers are on a schedule, but they are going so fast.”

Winter has fi nally arrived and with it has come school cross country season.

Students around the valley have been get-ting muddy in the fi eld over the past week to compete in the winter sport.

Children at Jack and Jill Early Learning Centre are eating hot healthy lunches every day of the week,

Barbara ‘Barbz’ Van de Wiel started work at the centre a month ago as the new chef and has since been cooking the children a healthy lunch every day.

Barbz said she began the work as she wanted a change.

“One of the staff had ap-proached me for the job and I decided I would give it a go,” she said.

She said her job was easy now she had learnt to down

size the children’s meals and had planned menus around their tastes. She said all of their meals were made to be 5+ a day.

“They love their mac and cheese, basically all pasta dishes. They have also had hot pot with dumplings, vege fritters, sausage rolls, mash and stir fry,” she said.

As well as cooking the chil-dren’s lunches Barbz also bakes their afternoon tea.

Barbz said she was grateful to the staff who had helped her settle into the job at the kindergarten.

“The staff here are alright. They’re pretty cool,” she said.

Residents can now race each other to the top of the hill and mark their best times.

A new sign to measure the fastest times of those walking, running and biking up the Wainuiomata Hill was installed on Friday.

The challenge is named the “Pukeatua Challenge” and the sign was erected by a working group from the Wainuiomata 2035 Steering Group who were approached for something by those who conquered the hill daily.

Making stuff happen champion, Esther Venning, said it was an op-portunity to celebrate the activity happening on the Wainuiomata Hill.

“[People] thought it would be fun. You’re not only challenging others, you’re also challenging yourself,” she said.

The Leaderboard is located on the left side of the hill when entering Wainuiomata.

It has places for twenty people coming up the hill from either side to write the time they climbed to the top in.

Leaderboard for hilltop challenge

Esther said the Leaderboard would work in well with the shared pathway currently in con-struction as activity on the hill would increase.

She said the Leaderboard would

be wiped clean every week for the community to keep trying to beat their scores.

She said she would encourage anyone to “give it a go”.

Residents can get involved fur-

ther by promoting their top times via social media with the hashtag “#pukeatuachallenge”. Do you run up the Wainuio-mata Hill? Let us know at [email protected]

A local man had a spicy weekend after winning a regional chill eating championship.

Ben Silvester won the Fire Dragon New Zealand Chilli Eat-ing Champs Heat 8 on May 28.

The competition has been run-ning since 2011 to find New Zealand’s most keen chilli eater.

Heat 8 was held at Bebemos in Wellington.

Because of his win, Ben will

be taking part in the Finals in Auckland in three weeks’ time.

Ben said he had always been a fan of spicy food and this led him to giving the competition “a shot” for the fi rst time this year.

“I’d always been an advocate for hot food,” he said.

He said he had not done too much training in preparation for the tournament as he had a young family who did not like spicy food.

Despite not doing any train-

ing, Ben took out thirteen other contestants in the challenge which included eating a chilli con carne, spicy chicken wings, enchiladas and later, actual chilies.

To win a bar tab, Ben ate a Carolina Reaper, thought to be the hottest chilli in the world.

Ben said he hoped to eat more spicy food in the lead up to fi nal competition at the end of the month.

“I’m looking forward to the fi nals,” Ben said.

CorrectionLast week the Wainuiomata News pub-lished an article about Gabriel Tupou regarding his appointment to the Hutt City Multicultural Council. The article misquoted him as saying “refugees” in regards to people moving in to the val-ley. The correct quote wording should be “migrants”.

Parkway Park Residents have only a few days left to make submissions regarding the new playground at Parkway Park. The under 5s section of the park will be getting a revamp later this year. For more information visit the sign posted at the playground or head to www.huttcity.govt.nz/parkway. Submissions close Friday, June 10 at 5pm and can be made via email to [email protected].

Free parking extended Hutt City Council has extended free parking in the CBD. The fi rst hour of parking in time restricted parks will be free until January 15, 2017. The con-tinuation of the trial for a full calendar year provides Council more data to analyse spending in the CBD. To off set some of the lost revenue as a result of the extension, parking prices in other parts of the city will increase from July 1, 2016. The fi rst hour in two-hour HC2 time limited parks will be free however, the cost of the second hour will increase from $1.50 to $2.50.

Students at Wainuiomata High School are keen for a way to remember their friends after leaving school.

Around twenty students from all year levels have banded together to start a Year-book committee to get the funds necessary to bring the yearbook back to the college.

The last time the school had a physical yearbook was in 2009.

Teachers have been trying to get another yearbook off the ground for two years however have been unsuccessful.

This fundraising initiative is student led, facilitated by teachers Hailey Thomson and Ellen Eales.

Hailey and Ellen said the school and Principal, Martin Isberg, had been sup-portive of the move.

The students said having a yearbook would be a good chance to show pride for their school.

Rachel Hema and Nimish Gounder said it would be a way to remember their time at the school.

“It will be a way to remember things we might not remember in a few years’ time,” Nimish said.

The students said they would like to highlight competitions, such as Stage Challenge, and sporting achievements.

They said they would also like to cel-ebrate their Manaaki time, a new addition to the school’s curriculum this year.

The students will begin their fundraising to make their yearbook dreams a reality with a balloon throwing competition later in the year.

They are also looking to the community for support in advertising or sponsorship.

To support Wainuiomata High School in their endeavor to gain a yearbook contact Ellen at [email protected]

The Wainuiomata News went back to school last week to talk to students about journalism.

Wainuiomata Intermediate in-vited Wainuiomata News journalist, Emma McAuliffe, and Cook Strait News Journalist, Nikki Papatsou-mas, to the school last Friday as part of their learning about different careers.

Teacher, Justin Enoka said the talk was the third session involving the students learning about journalism.

He said the students first learnt what journalists did and then spent time role playing and acting as journalists.

The fifty Year Seven and Eight

students were involved in the talk and asked a lot of questions.

Key interest areas for the students were whether either of the newspa-pers had interviewed any famous people and who Emma and Nikki wanted to interview the most were.

Nikki said the experience was great.

“It was a great opportunity to be asked to head along to Wainuiomata Intermediate and chat to the children about what we do as journalists.

“Hopefully the chat inspires some of the kids to work towards a career in journalism in the future,” she said.

Other guest speakers on the day were Bennett Pomana and Piko Moeahu from Nui FM and Jim Col-lins from WelTec Hospitality School.

The Hutt Valley’s brightest sparks have been nominated for the Tech-nology Valley Awards.

The fi nalists for the 2016 awards were selected from a pool of Hutt Valley science, technology, engineering, mathematics and manufacturing (STEMM) talent.

Lower Hutt Mayor Ray Wallace said Lower Hutt had a “wealth of talent in the STEMM sectors”.

“It’s great for the people and busi-nesses that are recognised and it’s inspiring for the rest of us.

“I understand it was a diffi cult task for our judges to select the fi nalists because the standard of all

our nominees was high.“This year our categories in-

cluded recognition for our young STEMM talent too and I’m very pleased to announce we’ve selected deserving young winners.

“To see young people so passion-ate about science and technology is a fantastic signal that the future of the Hutt Valley is bright.

“We’ve announced these young winners early so they have an op-portunity to present their winning work at the Technology Valley Awards dinner on June 9 which I’m sure are going to impress the audience.”

This is the second year of the Technology Valley Awards, which will be presented at a STEMM-themed awards dinner on 9 June during Lower Hutt’s STEMM Festival.

Dinner organiser Carla Steed says “the awards dinner is set to be something special.”

“We’re bringing in performers to surprise and delight the audience and celebrate our winners in a unique way.

“Even the venue is different, we’re using the majestic Old Ford Factory at 43 Seaview Road, right in the hub of our industrial centre."

Best and brightest named as Technology Valley Award fi nalists

Hutt City Council made a decision regarding their annual budget at a meeting held last week.

Their key projects and initiatives were decided at the Community Plan Com-mittee meeting on Thursday.

This followed consultation on the proposed Annual Plan, on which 1229 written submissions were received, and more than 110 submissions presented to Council in person.

More than 84 per cent of respondents agreed with Council continuing to invest in rejuvenation and infrastructure projects, as outlined in the Long Term Plan.

Lower Hutt Mayor Ray Wallace said the support for continuing the programme of rejuvenation was a great confirmation that Council is on the right track.

“It’s essential the community agree with the direction we are taking our city in. We’ve enjoyed a tremendous couple of years with the development of new facilities that help stimulate economic and social growth in our city, and this work is set to continue,” he said

As part of the Annual plan $140,000 has been allocated to the Petone and Wainuiomata Sportsville Groups to progress preliminary design options, funding plans and community consulta-tion.

Funding has also been set aside for the Basketball court at Frederick Wise park to receive lighting.

ODE of the week

By Emma McAuliff e

The National Isotope Centre on the Wai-nuiomata Hill had a special visit last week.

GNS’ offi ce based on the Wainuiomata Hill was visited by National List MP, Chris Bishop and Minister of Science and Innovation Steven Joyce last Thursday for the pair to fi nd out more about what GNS did in the Hutt Valley.

GNS is New Zealand's leading provider of Earth, geoscience and isotope research and consultancy services.

Their laboratory in Gracefi eld on the Wainuiomata Hill is the National Isotope Centre.

It is described as New Zealand’s premier provider of isotope science expertise and the associated commercial applications.

Mr Bishop and Mr Joyce received a tour of the centre and had a briefi ng on how GNS would be using the funding from Unlocking Curious Minds.

GNS won $127,000 from the contestable fund for three different projects surround-ing their work with young people and science.

One of the projects will involve schools around the Hutt Valley learning about the air quality in their school.

Mr Bishop said the visit was “really good”.

“Every time I visit a business I fi nd myself learning even more. When I was at school I wasn’t really interested in science but [but since becoming an MP] I’ve found myself much more interested,” he said.

He said he thought the centre was world class.

“We’re really lucky to have them in the Hutt,” he said.

It was Mr Joyce’s fi rst time at the centre in Gracefi eld.

“I always wanted to know what goes on here,” he said during the tour.

Earlier in the day the pair went to the War Memorial Library and First As-sembly to fi nd out what the groups did regarding science and technology in Lower Hutt. Do you think people in Wainuiomata should be more involved in science? Let us know at [email protected]

BRING THIS AD IN TO GETHALF PRICE ADMISSION.

First up is The Fell Locomo-tive Museum on the corner of SH2 and Lyon Street in the centre of Featherston. This Museum houses H199, the only locomotive of its type in the world, and Fell brake-van F210. H199 is one of six en-

gines designed for use on New Zealand’s famous Rimutaka Incline a 3-mile (4.8km) rail-way that used to operate be-tween the settlements of Cross Creek and Summit in the South Wairarapa. Built in Bristol, England, in 1875, H199 has

been fully restored and its story was re-cently brought to life in Joy Cowley’s children’s picture book Hero of the Hill. In addition to seeing H199, visitors can learn more about the interesting stories linked with the Railway and the Feath-erston Military Camp.

Further north in the township of Grey-town, renowned for its distinctive bou-tiques, cafes and restaurants, is The Cobblestones Early Settlers Museum located on the original site of the stables operated by Cobb & Co and the Hast-wells to provide a mail and passenger service between Wellington and the Wairarapa from 1866. Here visitors take a step back in time to the pioneering days of the Wairarapa. Whilst in Mas-terton, take the short walk around the corner to Aratoi: Wairarapa’s Museum of Art & History to see the Featherston Camp Centenary Exhibition, which runs until July 31st 2016.

Discover the stories behind one of New Zealand’s most important World War One training camps which saw some 60,000 keen young men - more than half of the New Zealand troops who served in the war. See images, ob-jects and fi rst-hand accounts of what life was like for the raw recruits who would soon become soldiers.

The Wairarapa’s pretty colonial towns and boutique wineries have long been a major drawcard for visitors. The Wainuiomata News winds back the clock to take a journey of discovery in the region which is only an hour’s drive or train ride from Wellington.

Steven Adams is worth every penny of his new $20 million contract with the NBA's Oklahoma City Thunder, according to American sporting pundits.

I have been fortunate enough to be in Las Vegas for the series between the Thunder and defending champions Golden State Warriors and I can tell you the Americans rate the big Kiwi centre.

Even NBA legend Charles Barkley, an imposing big man during his time in the 1980s and 1990s says he would have loved to have played with Adams, who is the brother of double Olympic gold medalist Valerie Adams.

The Americans love his physicality and presence under the hoop.

His uncompromising style and abil-ity to get under the skin of his competi-tors without being a dirty player.

While the Thunder blew a 3-1 series lead to lose a chance to make the NBA fi nals by losing the last three games, Adams lost no admirers.

The 22-year-old has made huge strides since he was selected 12th overall in the 2013 draft.

Many expected him to be in the developmental D-league for a few

years before seeing any NBA action but Adams has proven the doubters wrong.

Not only is he OKC's top centre, he's performing like a quality NBA player and has the big money contract to prove it.

Not bad for a boy from Rotorua.When he entered the league he was

seen as a good defender who needed to work on his shooting.

He has done that, having had a few double-digit point games during the playoffs.

He's also been a pugnacious re-bounder and general menace.

Just ask Draymond Green who fouled Adams during the series by kicking him below the belt.

Adams has the potential to play for more than a decade in the top basket-ball league in the world, injuries and form provided.

The Americans can't get enough of his Kiwi charm during interviews, his scraggy hair or dapper moustache.

The OKC Thunder have become New Zealand's team and New Zealand has another sports star who is legiti-mately turning heads for all the right reasons in America.

America's love for Steven Adams

Wainuiomata’s OG Lions will be looking fresh when they take to the fi eld again next week.

The team recently got new t-shirts following a new sponsorship deal with Wainuiomata Pharmacy.

This is the fi rst time the pharmacy has sponsored a team since their merge last year.

Co-owner of Wainuiomata Pharmacy, Ron Chin, said the store wanted to sponsor the team as they thought it would be a “good fi t”.

“[The games are] based around family and kids. It’s a nice environment to bring the kids to,” he said.

The OG Lions are currently on a 20 win

streak, continuing from last season.They are tied top of the Reserves table with

the Randwick Kingfi shers Reserves.OG Lions team members Donovan Max-

well and Eru Tuterangiwhaitiri said they were pleased with their result.

Donovan described the OGs as being a “social team”.

“We don’t warm up, we don’t warm down. We don’t train,” said Donovan.

The men weighed their success down to their experience in the fi eld and taking on some younger guys this season, including Eru who is still at High School. The OG Lions will return to the � eld on Saturday, June 11 against the Porirua City Phoenix Reserves at Whakatiki Park in Up-per Hutt. Kick-o� is at 1pm.
