Urban gardenfl ourishes Kelly-Ann Barrett, Erin Leigh Todd and Jack Leason at WorkerBe Oasis – Wellington’s very fi rst urban garden.

By Nikki Papatsoumas

The capital’s very fi rst urban garden, WorkerBe Oasis, is thriving.

The urban garden, based on Hospital Rd in Newtown, has produced more than 600 kgs of food since planting began in October last year.

Half the food produced is donated to food rescue organisation Kaibosh and among the fresh produce harvested this week was spinach, celery, parsley and beetroot.

Co-founder Erin Leigh Todd said the idea for WorkerBe Oasis stemmed from the Christchurch earthquake.

Wellingtonians have cheaper weekend bus fares to look forward to next month.

For four weeks from Novem-ber 28, Go Wellington buses will change to a $1 fare for one zone of travel and $2 adult fare and $1.50 fare for children for two or three zones of travel.

It is hoped this will encour-age people to use public trans-port to travel in and out of the city.

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

Wellington Mayor Celia Wade-Brown said the public transport initiative would help to get more Wellingtonians onto buses and into the central city during the busy weekends in the run-up to Christmas.

“This initiative will provide

a welcome boost for retail sales.”

Councillor Iona Pannett, Chair of Wellington City Council’s Environment Com-mittee, said the cheaper bus

fares bring multiple benefi ts to the city.

“This shows support for an environmentally sustainable travel option for people who want to go shopping in the

central city and don’t want to have to worry about conges-tion or parking time limits.

“Wellington City Council fi rst proposed this initiative in February this year and I’m thrilled that it’s going ahead in time for Christmas.”

The cheaper fares can be paid by cash or with a Snap-per card. The changes will be in effect from beginning of service on Saturday, Novem-ber 28, each weekend through to the last service on Sunday, December 20.

Continued from page 1Nicola said blood donors were very

special.“We always need more donors. Cur-

rently only four per cent of the eligible population donates blood.

“If you are part of the 96 per cent cur-rently sat on the fence thinking about it, please jump off and join in.

Nicola asked people to think of the “bigger picture” and said one donation could save three lives.

“Think of all the little children who have leukaemia who your blood is able to save… you’ve got to go beyond yourself and think of who your donation could save.

“You’re helping ultimately to save people’s lives and make a difference.”

The New Zealand Blood Service was also hoping to have more people sign up for plasma donations, Nicola said.

This year 240 people have donated plasma, however the blood service was hoping to reach 500 donations by the

end of the year.Plasma was used to make around 13

different medicines and because of this the demand for plasma had increased “hugely”, Nicola said.

“You have to have given at least one blood donation in the last two years before you can become a plasma donor.”

Plasma is collected using an apheresis machine. The machine spins off the red blood cells and keeps the plasma. The red blood cells are then returned to the donor.

Plasma has also earned the nickname “liquid gold” because of its colour, Nicola said, “It really is so special, it can be made into so many different medicines.”

The blood drive will take place next Thursday, November 19, at the ASB Sports Centre in Kilbirnie from 9.30am to 2.30pm. Appointments are pre-ferred and will take priority. To book an appointment call 0800 448 325.

Calling for your donation

• About 1 per cent of the population (or 42,000 patients) are treated with blood or blood products each year. That’s equivalent to 110 jumbo jets full of people or nearly the capacity of Eden Park.

• People who have been in acci-dents and su� ered massive blood loss may need multiple transfusions of red blood cells and other blood components.

• The biggest use of blood products is for the treatment of cancer at 26 per cent, with the next biggest being surgery at 19 per cent.

Those in the habit of running red lights should think twice – or run the risk of being slapped with a $150 fi ne.

Wellington Police are crack-ing down on red light run-ners and focusing on driver behaviour at intersections, as part of a prevention road safety operation throughout July.

From this week, police have been actively patrolling inter-sections in the city, focusing on high risk locations.

Drivers who run a red light can expect to receive an in-

fringement notice along with a $150 fi ne.

Police said intersections were a leading factor in serious crashes in the capital, so they were urging all drivers to take extra care and be more aware of their surroundings, particularly in the city.

“Running a red light is dan-gerous and poses a genuine threat to the safety of motorists, cyclists and pedestrians,” said Wellington response manager Jason McCarthy.

“The risks aren’t worth it.

“This is a reminder that any-one driving dangerously could be stopped anytime, anywhere. All road users have a responsi-bility to keep themselves and others safe.”

The Wellington City Coun-cil was also highlighting the dangers of running a red light through its annual ‘Stop on Red’ campaign. Do you think a $150 fine for running a red light is too harsh? Or do you think it should be more? Send an email to [email protected]

Cracking down on red light runners

Motorists who run a red light run the risk of receiving a $150 fi ne.

“A lot of friends of mine are from Christchurch. I feel like it hit everyone in New Zealand in some way and it got me thinking about what we would do in Wellington, who my community was and where my food was coming from.”

She said while she didn’t have much of a ‘green thumb’ to start out with, co-founder Linnea Lindstreom had a background in permaculture, the development of agricultur-al ecosystems intended to be sustainable and self-suffi cient.

WorkerBe Oasis is now made up of a core group of 10 eager people and all things going to plan, they hope to soon extend their branches out to other suburbs across Wellington.

“It’s all about reducing an ecological foot print and getting people to talk about where our food comes from and where it is going,” Erin said.

“We have got such great people on the team… this is

a place where you can come and be part of something that is larger than you. It is a place where you feel like you can do some good and be yourself.”

Farm manager t ra inee, Kelly-Ann Barrett, said the idea behind WorkerBe Oasis was about having a relation-ship with the food and the environment.

What they were intending to do was regenerate earth start-ing with the soil and educate people on the food cycle.

Kelly-Ann said they were also involved with Kai Cycle, an electric bike food waste pick up service.

All food waste collected was turned into compost and used at the garden to make a nutrient rich soil.

Volunteers are welcome to come along from 1pm each Sunday and help out. The team will be holding workshops throughout Au-gust. For more information head to the WorkerBe Oasis Facebook page.

Earlier this month the story of Alex McColl was shared with the wider community – marking 100 years since the young soldier’s death.

Alex’s story was shared as part of a Last Post ceremony at the National War Memo-rial in Wellington on Sunday, July 3.

Before the ceremony, the story of a New Zealander who died as a result of WWI is read aloud outside of the Hall of Memories every Sunday.

Deputy Principal at Wel-lington College, Rob Ander-son, read Alex’s story.

Alex was an old boy of Wellington College where he had excelled at sport, and was in the 1st XV rugby team and was a rowing champion.

More than 1600 of the school’s former pupils served overseas, and of these, 222 were killed and a further 350 were wounded.

“It was a real privilege to be able to read and share his story,” Rob said.

“They are stories of the current generation, just 100

years removed. These young lives were full of hope and optimism… They were the future and it’s really nice to share the story with those in the wider community.”

Alex, who served in the Ter-ritorial Forces, enlisted in the New Zealand Expeditionary Force when war broke out in August 1914.

Alex joined the Wellington Battalion as a second lieuten-ant and left New Zealand in October 1914.

After he was briefl y wound-ed while in Gallipoli, he spent time in Egypt, where he was promoted to captain and from there he returned to Gallipoli before he was posted to France, with the newly created New Zealand Division.

Sadly Alex was hit by gun fi re while helping stretcher bearers in no-man’s-land, and later died from his wounds. He was 24 years old.

Much of Alex’s story is known as he kept a diary, outlining life during the war.

Rob said stories like Alex’s put things into perspective for students at Wellington

College.“He walked up the drive

every day like our boys do… it really does hit home then. It was an accident in history and it could have been them.

“We believe it’s important for these generations of our

students to learn the lives of these boys and the sacrifi ces they made.” The Last Post ceremony takes place at Pukeahu Na-tional War Memorial Park every day from 5pm, until Sunday, November 11.

Young soldier’s story shared 100 years after his death


Housing New Zealand is pro-posing to build 36 one bedroom units on Owen St in Newtown.

The proposed development will take place at the site where a 32 unit complex currently stands.

Tenants from this complex were relocated after the build-ing was found to have weather tightness issues and be earth-

quake prone.Development manager Mo-

nique Fouwler said the new development would provide warm, dry homes for those on the social housing register.

As well as this, the new development would boast 10 off street car spaces, usable outdoor spaces that maintain privacy and the units would be orientated to get as much light as possible.

Last week, a drop in session was held for neighbours who wanted to fi nd out more about the project, Monique said.

“We have got some really, really positive feedback on the developments.

“We wanted to show them some more detailed designs and just get feedback and answer any questions or queries.”

Monique said Housing New Zealand had implemented a “ro-

bust process” to ensure a good outcome for the community.

“As a developer we have a whole lot of different factors that we need to take into con-sideration and we have a high standard for our tenants,” she said.

Monique said all going to plan Housing New Zealand would lodge resource consent later this year. It was hoped work would commence early 2017.

Last week’s story about a rates increase across Wellington was incorrect. The rates increase of 3.6 per cent is an average increase. Rates will rise by an average of 2.7 per cent for commercial property owners and by an average of 5.4 per cent for residential property owners – an average of 3.6 per cent. We apologise for any confusion.

Bicycle Festival On the evening of Friday July 15, a dreamlike cavalcade of lights and motion consisting of seven bicycle powered light floats, will make their way around the Wellington waterfront. The ‘Bicycle Festival of Lights and Motion’ is collaboration between Wellington bike shop Bicycle Junction and the Lucid Dreambike team of artists, Erika Grant, Stephen Templer, Kelvin Aris and Gerard Crewdson. The festival is a celebration of the creativity, in-genuity, joy and magic that bicycles can bring to the city.

Some exceptional entries into an a r t compet it ion earned students at a local school a garden makeover.

Holy Cross School in Mira-mar were the lucky recipients of a garden makeover-style prize from the Wellington Botanic Gardens last week.

The Wellington Botanic Gardens is building a Chil-

dren’s Garden and asked lo-cal schools to create artwork based around the theme of the things they can use plants for.

The winning entry was a drawing of a guitar made out fruits and vegetables by Hiwi Zaia.

Hiwi won a planter box, garden mix, and some plants

for herself, as well as a prize for her school, which con-sisted of a day with staff from Wellington Botanic Garden helping them in their school’s garden and over $500 worth of garden materials.

The purpose of the chil-dren’s garden is to provide a living classroom for children

to learn about plants that provide food, medicine, fi bre and construction materi-als and phase 1 of the new garden will be complete by late spring 2016.

All the entries of the com-petition are on display in the Treehouse Visitors Centre at Wellington Botanic Gardens until September.

A philanthropic organisation has made some exciting new announcements.

Well ington Community Trust is an independent funder working with community or-ganisations in the Wellington region.

Last Wednesday, about 125 people from more than 50 community groups from all over the Wellington region attended the trust’s annual public meeting at the Circus Hub in Newtown.

Chief executive Mark Cas-sidy said over the last year the trust had given $1.44 million in funding to 130 community organisations.

At last week’s meeting, the ‘My Children’ initiative was announced.

The initiative was targeted towards groups that help chil-dren between the ages of zero to fi ve, with a focus on safe healthy homes and nurturing families.

Wesley Community Ac-tion, Sustainability Trust and Women of Worth would all now receive funding over the next fi ve years.

Gerardine Clifford-Lidstone has recently been appointed as chair of the Wellington Com-munity Trust, taking over from Jan Dowland who chaired the trust since 2012.

She said the initiative would really help these organisations and give them “breathing space” to lessen the load on volunteers.

“We ran a selection process and asked organisations work-ing with children to tell us

A new art gallery in Lyall Bay is displaying some of the most unique artwork the capital has to offer.

Real Aotearoa Gallery opened in Kingsford Smith St last week.

The gallery’s curator Jane Dahy said there were 50 artists rep-resented at the gallery, through jewellery, glass, wood, weaving and ceramic works.

Jane said what made the space special was the fact that local artist Sue Dasler’s workshop was also on site. Sue, a potter, has been at the site for three years

Jane said the idea was their businesses were separate but they shared the space.

“I didn’t want to go back into the city, I have always wanted to do something by the sea… Sue and I were having a conversation and

an opportunity came up to take half the space.”

“The benefi t of being in here and there is an artist working, everything starts as very ordinary and turns into something beauti-ful… visitors really get the value and realise how much hard work and time went into it.”

Jane said it was great to be in the new seaside location and was looking forward to establishing the gallery as a Lyall Bay hotspot.

“It’s has been really good. I just love being able to bring the amazing work out to the public.

“Because I am not the person making it, I can talk about the virtues… it’s very hard if you have made something to be able to sell it.”

A group of students want to lead by example in an effort to see graffi ti in their neighbourhood eradicated.

Rongotai College teacher Lou-ise Richards, said as part of their assessments, year 12 geography students were required to look at ‘urban patterns’.

Louise said she hoped to make the assessment a little more in-teresting, so got in touch with the Wellington City Council to work on a data survey about graffi ti patterns across the capital.

For the last two years students have worked on the project and this culminated with the boys being asked to speak in front of council earlier this year.

Louise said they were now ready to launch the next phase of the project - a social action project.

“This will involve looking at areas prone to graffi ti and ways to eradicate it as well as go out into the local community and help

clean up,” she said. “For the last two years it has been

more about the assignment, this year it will get to the next stage so we can help [council] out with what they do.”

Councillor Paul Eagle, who was also chair of the council’s commu-nity sport and recreation committee, said graffi ti across the city was down dramatically and education was key.

“It’s been great to see Rongotai College students leading the way

around prevention.“What’s happened here is that

young people have taken ownership of a social problem that they often get blamed for.

“I know that young people will think twice if they know that their peers have been involved in under-standing the devastation that graffi ti vandalism causes.”

Louise said all going to plan, they hoped to begin the project in term four.

Forward’ fund is open Monday, August 15. A partnership between the Wellington City Council and the Boys and Girls Institute, Shift is a project that aims to increase the physical activity levels and wellbeing of young Wellington women aged 12 to 20. For more information, head to wcc.govt.nz

A local art class aimed at artists of all skill levels has just started up at the Kilbirnie Lyall Bay Community Centre.

Artist Maria Fredette has just ar-rived in the country from Canada, to follow her dream of working for Weta Workshop.

In the meantime, Maria has de-cided to hold community art classes so she can share her talent with other artists in the area.

Before arriving in the country, Ma-ria spent three years working as an art instructor at a private art studio.

While there, Maria said she focused on teaching skills and techniques to improve each person's individual artistic style and she now hoped to do the same thing at her local classes.

“I came past the community centre

and thought I can give back and it’s something I can do to enrich the community I live in,” she said.

“The art classes are for all ages and all skill levels… I want to teach art skills and the techniques involved so they can take their art, and their art style, and enhance it and grow as an artist.”

She said her classes offered each student plenty of individual attention, no matter what their skill level.

While she would like to see all students begin with lessons in drawing and eventually in painting, she said she was happy for budding artists to work in whichever me-dium they felt most comfortable.

“I would love to see more people come along so we can increase numbers. I love the opportunity to work with students and help them.”

Art classes for the community

Clean, green students are doing their bit to keep their local shore and streets free of rubbish.

The Worser Bay School com-munity has launched a ‘Plastic Free Peninsula’ campaign to coincide with Plastic Free Month, which runs throughout July.

Students, staff and parents were now raising awareness about plastic in the Miramar Peninsula coastal environment, as well as taking

action to address the problem and reduce consumption, both at school and at home.

On Sunday, July 3, ‘International Plastic Bag Free day’, the school community held a coastal clean-up around the Miramar Peninsula with assistance from ‘Love Your Coast’.

Over 300kg of rubbish was col-lected and some interesting items were uncovered including a weld-ing mask, picture frame, complete

Nine-year-old Hugo Maitland said he was surprised at how much rubbish was collected.

“I’m surprised we didn’t see it at fi rst till we looked closely, it was tangled in the bushes and wedged between the rocks”.

Principal at Worser Bay School, Jude Pentecost, said it was excit-ing to be building on the school’s strong sustainability foundation with Plastic Free Peninsula.

“It’s even more exciting to wit-ness how a seed, an idea, given attention, energy and people power can become a reality so quickly.

“What a huge contribution our school community can make to something much bigger. Learning opportunities for us all children, teachers and whanau abound.”

The Plastic Free Peninsula cam-paign will continue beyond July, with students hoping to share the campaign with other schools, businesses and communities on the Peninsula.

Art classes take place at the Kilbirnie Lyall Bay Community Cen-tre every Friday from 3.30pm to 5.30pm. Cost is $20 for adults and $18 for children and seniors. For more information, contact Maria at [email protected]

A bunch of St Anthony’s School students were lucky enough to hear from a pair of inspiring leaders last week.

The Sir Peter Blake Trust Leadership runs every year from July 1 to 8. As part of Leadership week, a ‘Dream Team’ of more than 300 leaders from across the country visited classrooms to talk to students about leadership.

Young ambassadors for the Sir Peter Blake Trust, Shannon Williams and Jessica Yule gave an inspirational chat to a small group of student leaders at the Seatoun school last Thursday.

Shannon and Jessica were lucky enough to visit the sub-Antarctic Auckland Islands, which are 465km south of the country, earlier this year.

Both girls were offered the opportunity after attending The Sir Peter Blake Youth EnviroLeaders' Forum and proving they were excellent leaders in their school and local communities and had a passion for the environment.

While there, the girls had a ‘hands-on’ opportunity to work alongside experts on various marine ecology and geology projects.

Jessica said it was an honour to now be chosen as a Dream Team leader and share

her story with other young leaders.“Coming from a high school student una-

ware of the world around me and too scared to take any opportunities, I have transformed into someone who has luckily been offered incredible adventures and am constantly on the lookout for my next,” she said.

“I feel that if students understand how many organisations and people are both willing and able to help them achieve their dreams, if only they ask, more would be encouraged to follow all that they are truly passionate about.”

Shannon said as a student herself, she believed children would be able to relate to her story.

“I think due to me being selected for the Sub-Antarctic Trip I have the necessary background for students to understand that doing amazing things is not out of reach, it just needs a certain amount of passion and determination,” she said.

Principal Jennifer Ioannou said the school had a “culture of leadership” – 10 house leaders are selected through an application process.

“They have lots of opportunities to lead our children and when I heard about this initiative I grabbed it straight away.

“It is inspirational for children who are on their way to college and are going to have plenty of opportunities to grab.”

A community stalwart says it’s important to remain an ac-tive part of the community in later life.

Alan Jones, 74, has been blind since birth, but his disability hasn’t slowed him down.

“For me that’s the best way, I haven’t had sight and I haven’t missed it.”

The father-of-two, and grand-father to fi ve, lives in Island Bay with his wife. He has called the seaside suburb home for more than three decades and is a stalwart of the com-munity.

Alan joined the Island Bay chapter of the Lions Club about 30 years ago to widen his social circle and meet people.

“I wanted to get involved in local community and I wanted to be involved in local projects.

“In those days we did rubbish collection and the big dig down at Island Bay Beach. We have all got older now so we don’t do as much of the physical work.

“Our club now is a lot smaller than it was and I think that is just the nature of things. But the group we have are still active, we have a meal once a month and work out what pro-jects we want to be part of.”

Next year will be the Island Bay chapter’s 40th anniversary, as well as the 100th birthday of the Lions Club.

He said members were hoping to inject some fresh blood into the club to secure its future.

“People in this day and age don’t get into them, maybe they don’t have time or maybe it’s not their thing.”

Despite his age, Alan said he had no desire to slow down.

He is still an active member of the lions club and works 10 hours a week as a support per-son for people with challenging behaviours.

Alan used to host a monthly radio programme for Welling-ton Access Radio, which he said he was taking a break from to get “fresh ideas” but was keen to jump back in to.

“Sometimes I think about giv-ing up work, but I want to keep the brain active,” he said.

Q: We asked St Anthony’s School children, what do you think makes a good leader?

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

Alex Tritsarolis,St Anthony’s School

“To be a good leader you need to be friendly but humble at the same time and just have fun.”

Hannah Halliwell,St Anthony’s School

“I think it’s someone who is positive and encourages you to be yourself.”

Cleo Thurston.St Anthony’s School“You need to have a good attitude, you need to be fun, but you need to be controlling in a nice way.”

Ryan Geusebroek,St Anthony’s School

“We have got to be encourag-ing, respectful, honest, and aware of everyone else, have fun and show others what to do in a not bossy way.”

Aidan Kane,St Anthony’s School

“You have to be responsible and you have got to be fun and honest.”

Rachel Price,St Anthony’s School

“For me, a good leader is someone who is respon-sible, listens to everyone’s ideas and has fun at the same time.”

The Wairarapa is a pretty great place to live. With laid back locals and beautiful scenery, the best of the good life is on offer.

But when residents Brent and Jeanette Elder found that Jeanette needed specialist cancer treat-ment at Wellington Hospital, the Wairarapa suddenly seemed very remote.

The logistics of travelling and managing Jeanette’s cancer journey took on new meaning, potentially adding a signifi cant amount to their existing stress levels.

“The travel can be the real killer” said Brent. “Jeanette really needed to be close to the hospital without any worries associated with traveling or costs,” he said.

“She needed to be in a comfort-

able place so that she could focus her efforts on maintaining the strength she needed for her cancer journey.”

Margaret Stewart House is located on the grounds of Wel-lington hospital, and is run by the Cancer Society Wellington.

It provides support for people like Brent and Jeanette whilst they have treatment at the Wel-lington Blood and Cancer Cen-tre.

It hosts not only patients receiv-ing treatment, but their friends and whanau too and up to 40 people can be accommodated.

“The family atmosphere, the facilities and the volunteers are amazing,” said Brent.

“We are greatly indebted to the Cancer Society for providing

such a great facility, as I am sure are so many others.

“It certainly helped us through our cancer journey, by having the support of the facility and staff.”

The Cancer Society is currently running its ‘Power Up’ campaign.

Through the campaign, it hopes to raise $70,000 to cover the costs of 115 solar panels.

This will save over $300,000 during the 25 year warranty period; freeing up money for the Cancer Society Wellington to be spend on other essential cancer services.

The Cook Strait News will be tracking the Cancer Society’s process throughout its Power Up campaign. Check in each week to see updates on fundraising efforts.

Dear Ed, The Island Bay cycleway must be returned immediately to its previous design. The new design, with cars stuck out in the road, was immediately seen to be absurd when it was suggested. But there was no signifi cant debate as it was rammed through. It has proved even worse than expected, dangerous and an eyesore. A magnifi cent

boulevard has become a narrow channel, lined with cars in the road and with ugly yellow posts at each corner. We observe very few cyclists; the most com-mon number in early after-noon is simply zero. Many car drivers, like ourselves, keep off The Parade and use parallel side roads. So do many cyclists. I have yet to see a cyclist com-

ing round on the footpath behind a bus stop to bother pedestrians. There is no compromise possible. Ei-ther cars are again parked beside the curb or not, and this must go. That is exactly what a great majority of Island Bay residents said in the recent survey.

Dr John RobinsonIsland Bay

Returned to previous designDear Ed, I read with horror

the article entitled "Emergency Water Tank Installed" in last week’s paper, with Housing New Zealand saying they let search and rescue use their empty Newtown apartments. Why are there empty apart-ments if there is a housing crisis?

EBIS Students Impress at Samoan Speech Competition

24th June was an adrenaline-pumped Friday. Two year seven students from Evans Bay Intermediate School, Desmond Matale and Kianu Fiamatai, competed in the annual FAGASA Porirua Samoan speech competition - up against some of the most talented Samoan speakers in Wellington.

Each participant had one month to prepare for the event and were all given the topic of ‘E felelei manu ae ma’au i o latou ofaga’ (‘Birds migrate to environments where they survive and thrive’): talking about how no matter where they go, people always come back to their home. The boys said that although the anticipation was the worst part of the preparation they had the confi dence of their families and Miss Nima Pemerika who takes the Samoan Language Extension Class, at their school and they are both in the weekly EBIS Ākauwaiata.

Both boys helped their classes with the different activities that EBIS had planned during Samoan Language week.

The day started at 9:00am in the Porirua Hall. Forty six competitors piled in, ranging from years 5 to 13. After a quick briefi ng, and the Year 5 students kicked off the day. Desmond and Kianu watched on, shaking with nerves. It was their fi rst competition and they had both signed up and so wanted to make their families and school proud of being there and pitching for the stars. After listening to the fi rst speakers, it

was Desmond and Kianu’s turns to present their speeches to the two hundred eager people and the four judges watching on.

Desmond spoke fi rst, and forgot a few of his lines but still managed to keep going. Soon after, Kianu spoke, one quote from his speech being; “If there’s a will there’s a way” and scoring a whopping total of 168 points out of 200, coming fi rst in his year group, with Desmond coming a close second at 155 points out of 200.

After watching the Year 13 students speak, the boys went home, buzzing with excitement and ready to compete at Nationals which will take place on the 4th of August in Auckland. Both Kianu and Desmond are working on techniques to perfect their National Finals speeches. The competition from Christchurch and Auckland will be tough.

Miss Pemerika shared that she enjoyed working alongside Kianu and Des for the past month while preparing for Regionals. She said that the boys are always quite lively in the class, so it was a great challenge for them to be able to engage an audience. Both speeches were prepared by the boys and their families, so I thank them for all their love and support. We look forward to Nationals in Auckland and the boys assure me they will be busy with their speech during the holidays.

The boys were interviewed by Jordan and Rebecca.

In New Zealand more than two in 10 women and one in 10 men suffer from migraines.

Migraines are often de-scribed by those who suf-fer from them, as a pulsing, throbbing pain, generally in one area of the head.

A migraine is more often than not partnered with sen-sitivity to light and sound, nausea and vomiting.

Migraines are triggered by a number of things, including stress, lack of sleep, skipping a meal, alcohol, particularly red wine, taking birth con-trol pills and changes in the weather, among other things.

It is recommended that those who get frequent migraines, which cannot be controlled by avoiding triggers, see their doctor. There are specialised migraine medicines that may help.

According to the Ministry of Health, little is known about what triggers a migraine; however, doctors do know they are related to changes in the blood fl ow to the head and brain.

The ministry says migraines tend to run in families and usually fi rst showed up in the teenage or young adult years.

The Neurological Founda-tion of New Zealand says there are two ways to treat a migraine with medication - either by using medica-tion to prevent the attacks, or relieving symptoms with medication during the attacks.

Many of those who suffer from a migraine use both approaches by taking medica-tion to prevent future attacks, and treating attacks when they happen with medication that relieves pain and restores

function, the foundation said on its website.

However, as migraines can be painful and crippling, when you first feel a mi-graine headache coming on it is recommended you take simple pain relief or any other migraine medication

your doctor has given you, as soon as you can to prevent the headache setting in.

It is suggested those who suffer from a migraine also try to lie down and relax in a dark room, and putting a cold pack on your neck or forehead may help.

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.

Artist Sian Torrington's latest project We don’t have to be the Building features in the Courtenay Place light boxes from August until December. The assemblage pieces photographed for the light boxes are the result of an extensive, interactive, community-based project that explores queer activ-ism around homosexual law reform 30 years ago, and asks what queer activ-ism is today. With a programme that involved interviews, drawing sessions, consciousness-raising groups, and creative queer expression workshops, We don’t have to be the Building was on a much larger scale than anything the experienced community arts prac-titioner had attempted in the past and was, Sian said, something she could no longer put off.

How a baby’s brain is wired up in the fi rst three years of life, is critical for helping them on a positive journey to build lifetime success and a lifetime of loving relationships.

PORSE General Manager, Kerry Henderson says science has shown that the fi rst three years is when a child’s brain is at its most critical stage of infl uence and development.

“Life issues start and arise from how carefully we are wired up for life from the moment we are born. As adults we play a vital role in helping babies’ and children’s brains to grow during this time.

“More parents are choosing in-home childcare because they value the one-on-one care children receive. They form secure attachment relationships with their educators in a settled home environment where natural play and learning can occur,” Ms Henderson said.

PORSE in-home educators are sup-ported with free nationally accredited

training and certifi cation programmes designed to help adults understand more about secure attachment rela-tionships during the critical years of early brain development.

PORSE Consultant, Andrea Tindle says their local PORSE offi ce can tailor affordable childcare to suit fam-ilies’ budgets and lifestyles with the ability to utilise subsidies.

PORSE also organises a variety of activities for children and their educators which promote friendship and fun, role modeling, observation, refl ection of practices, confi dence and sharing of information, resources and knowledge.

“Strong relationships are developed between our educators, children and parents. Together we are helping lay the foundations for positive lifetime pathways and emotional self- regu-lation – as children are wiring up for life,” Andrea said.

PORSE childcare providers and parents have access to free training

programmes to learn more about early brain development and secure attachment relationships.

Key facts:PORSE is the country’s leading

provider of in-home childcare and educator training.

PORSE stands for Play, Observe, Relate, Support, Extend.

PORSE has 42 Area offi ces nation-wide.

PORSE has more than 7,000 chil-dren enrolled.

PORSE has more than 5,000 educa-tors and students nationwide.

SPORTS

I cover a broad range of sports every weekend, have done for seven years and I watch even more in my personal time, but no sport is full of more physical and verbal angst like football.

Players complain to the referee, whinge at each other and their oppo-nents and often the sideline shouting and refereeing from the sidelines is borderline intimidation.

I talk to these same players and coaches post-match and they're all genuinely nice people.

It's like a red haze comes across them for 90 minutes and then evapo-rates the moment the fi nal whistle blows.

I've watched the Euros in an effort to see if this is an issue that the highest level of the game is encouraging and

I have to believe that's the case.Players surrounding referees after a

free kick, arguing and pointing fi n-gers like children bickering over a toy.

Rugby doesn't have this problem, hockey and netball the same.

There isn't enough money in the world for me to consider being a football referee.

It's essentially signing up for 90 minutes of abuse.

It's time grown men played the game like they were mature, not as toddlers disagreeing in a sandpit.

Just because these largely verbal outbursts are accepted as the way it is, doesn't make it right.

Teams should respect offi cials who are often giving up their time for the same reason the players are - because they love the beautiful game.

Why are footballers so angry?

Sports talk with Jacob Page...


A master mariner is packing his bags in preparation for a week long regatta against some of the worlds most talented young sailors.

Local Albert Stanley will travel to Dublin to compete at the Laser Radial Youth Worlds 2016 later this month.

This comes after the Rongotai College stu-dent was invited into the Aon Youth Clinic, a youth class for sailors under the age of 19 who sail the laser radial class.

Albert’s size and strength allowed him to move straight into this class from the optimist class where he competed last year.

The 14-year-old started sailing with his dad when he was eight years old and has excelled ever since.

Albert, who was also a member of the Worser Bay Boating Club, said he was excited to make the trip to Dublin alongside six other sailors.

“It’s cool, I get to go somewhere new and see how I am doing against other people overseas. It will be a cool learning experi-ence.”

When he arrives in Dublin he will have a week’s training before the week long regatta held in Dun Laoghaire.

“We have a week of training to fi gure out weather conditions, it’s meant to be reason-ably windy and cold,” he said.

The talented sportsman said as a sport, sailing had always spoken to him.

“It’s great because you have to choose where you go and it is up to you. It’s kind of like driving a car, you get to know places and you are the one in control.”

Sailing is in the young boy’s blood, his cousin Josh Junior will be sailing for New Zealand in the men’s heavy-weight dinghy Finn class in next month’s Olympic Games.

Following Albert’s trip to Dublin, he and his family will travel to Rio to watch Josh compete in the games.

Sailing in his blood


A local team of gymnasts is continuing to wow as its athletes prove they have the talent to take them all the way.

The Capital GymSports facility in New-town provides a wide range of specialised classes for all ages and abilities. There are currently about 800 people enrolled in programmes at the gym.

The club has operated for 40 years and gymnasts from the gym compete success-fully at national and international levels.

In particular, the Mens Team, which is represented by gymnasts from the age of fi ve to 19, has been growing very quickly.

Head Men’s Artist ic Coach Scott O’Callaghan has been involved in gym-nastics for 15 years, and has competed at a national level. He has been coaching the Mens Team for four years.

“It has always been said to be a girls sport, but now not just here but across the country, the boys side is growing.

“The more boys that have been coming into the gym, the more people see it is not just a girls sport.”

Scott said the Mens Team was a very “magnetic group” of young athletes.

“A lot of them love being here, they make friends and get along with each other so well.”

This month the gym will host the Wel-lington Opens Competition and Scott said

with the talent represented on the team he hoped they would do well.

“We usually do really well, both the boys and the girls side. Clubs travel from as far as Hamilton and down south to compete.”

He said to be a gymnast, athletes needed to be very self-motivated and strong willed.

“The kids need to be really self-motivated and be able to have a bit of fun as well as be naturally quite strong.

“It’s a wonderful sport you have to have strength and balance and it helps them to excel at other sports.”
