Karori Art Show launches this week and the Independent Herald was privy to a preview.

The show which runs from July 11-18 will exhibit some beginner and semi-professional artists, “something to suit all tastes.”

“We’ve had 30 to 40 people submit work,” says Karori Arts and Craft Centre Manager Margaret Taylor. “There will be over 100 pieces, 80% of which will be for sale”

This has been going since the club’s existence, the late 60s, early 70s,” says Margaret about the exhibition.

In a recent survey by SEEK Volunteer, New Zealand, they found that 69% of Wellingto-nians blame lack of time on

the reason they don’t volunteer. This is a worrying statistic as charities and groups are crying out for volunteer support.

“Our research found that 80% of Kiwis agree that relative to

TIME TO VOLUNTEER: Julia Melville and Richard Young have fostered a 6-year-old greyhound named Gina PHOTO: Mark King

other nations we have a culture that values and encourages vol-unteering. What we would like to see is our actual participation levels matching the perception,” says Amanda Robinson, Head of SEEK Volunteer. Amanda added that “One in four Wel-lingtonians state that they don’t know how to get involved in volunteering opportunities and a signifi cant 69% say they don’t have time.”

Independent Herald asked volunteer Julia Melville with Greyhound as Pets [GAP] about the need for volunteers and Animal Welfare volunteers, in particular, including fosterers.

Julia explains, “This is our fourth greyhound. We’d love a dog, but we both go away a lot so this is perfect for us.” Julia and Richard foster dogs for two to four weeks at a time, get them equipped to family and home living before they find their forever home.

“It doesn’t take much, if any-thing it’s a good thing, it makes you get up and go for walks.

Some [greyhounds] need space, but others are happy in an apartment with a walk in the morning and evening,” says Julia about the logistics and time commitment of volunteer-ing and fostering.

“Gina is so lazy, she’ll run about in the garden but then sleeps all day.”

GAP is a charity established by Greyhound Racing New Zealand to fi nd pet homes for retired racing greyhounds. They ensure that every grey-hound rehomed is a success story.

Katy Ainslie, Foster Care Coordinator at GAP says, “Julia only started fostering for us in February this year but is already on to her fourth dog which is great.” GAP are en-couraging volunteers from the Western and Northern suburbs to get involved.

For further information on how to foster a greyhound see www.greyhoundsaspets.org.nz.

Making time for greyhounds

By Fiona Donnellan “What’s different this year is there

is a lot of mixed mediums, ink work, combining print with painting, pho-tography with painting, which makes it interesting,” she added.

“Painters, drawers, pastel drawers, print, photography and more will have their work on display and available to purchase. Items start from $45 and run to about $700 for the more elaborate pieces”, explained Margaret.

“They work all year towards the exhibit,” says Margaret about the artists.

“We’ve always had great support from the community, they come back each year to buy another piece, small prints can make great gifts for those who love art.”

The portrait club have classes regu-larly in the centre, so they have a “good body of work” included in the

exhibition.There are pieces from artists based all

over Wellington, “It’s open to anyone who likes arts and crafts, there are no limitations,” says Margaret about the centre and the exhibition.

One local artist Alastair Baldwin, 19, joined the Karori Arts and Crafts Centre a few months ago, and produces beautiful pen work. Alastair is just one example of the broad range of artists in-volved with the centre, from traditional to more contemporary. Alastair draws free hand with no rulers but uses a compass for the radial shapes within his intricate pen work drawings. Alastair is running a workshop in the centre on the evening of July 21 following the exhibition run. For further information on the exhibition and classes and workshops at the Karori Arts and Crafts Centre see www.craftsandarts.co.nz.

The Wellington City Mission’s annual Brown Paper Bag Appeal started last week. Brown Paper Bag’s appeal is now in its ninth year, and supports The Mis-sion’s Foodbank and Drop-in Centre, to help Greater Wellingtonians who need help to get back on track to a positive future. People can show their support by donating online or by dropping a shop-ping bag of nonperishable food items into participating Z service stations. For more go to at www.wellingtoncitymis-sion.org.nz

Brown Paper Bag Appeal

By Fiona Donnellan Jim Lynch, who lived in Karori

for over 20 years, drew inspiration from politics during his illustrious career as a cartoonist.

In 2000 Jim was asked to speak about his time as a cartoonist at local Rotary Clubs, and people found the stories so interesting that he decided to compile and bind them between the covers of his book - Drawing the Days of Blunder and Lightning, The Muldoon/Lange Years Through the Eyes of a Cartoonist.

His book is a collection of his political cartoons and history from 1980s New Zealand, when his work featured in the New Zealand Times and the New Plymouth Daily News.

In 1978, Jim and his wife Eve

moved to New Plymouth and Jim was drawing for a training event when someone suggested he bring his sketches to the local paper. He was hired on the spot and fame and fortune followed. “Well, fame as least,” Jim jokes.

Jim always had an interest in politics so the cartoons he be-gan creating spawned from that, once a week he would produce a cartoon for the New Plymouth Daily News.

Following on from this Jim worked alongside New Zealand Times’ Trace Hodgens for four years.

During his career Jim managed to convey the major transition New Zealand went through during the 80s, the Labour Government, the Robert Muldoon and David Lange era, the snap election in

Drawing inspiration from politics

1984, the nuclear issue, Rogernom-ics, tax reform and more.

While the book features his car-toons it also contains an equal amount of text to give each cartoon context. �

Jim is also a recipient of a QSM for services to conservation and is well known in Wellington for his ecological activities and being a founder of Zealandia. He’s proudly a founder vice-patron and chair of Zealandia’s guardians.

“I always had an interest in conser-vation,” and in 1989 Jim was asked

to create a plan with Forest and Bird and Wellington City Council’s planning experts to help bring the birds back to Wellington. A plan which Jim is delighted came to fruition. “Sometimes these plans get put into a drawer somewhere,” says Jim, but with Zealandia turning 20 this month, and the bird population in Wellington soaring it’s a job well done and a plan well executed. As is Jim’s book. The book is available online through Unity Books www.unity-books.nz.

‘James’ aka Jim Lynch cartoon featured in New Zealand Times, July 24 1983

By Fiona Donnellan The latest fi ndings on climate

change from Victoria Univer-sity Professor James Renwick are startling, “The last time carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere were this high was three million years ago, and sea levels were 20 metres higher than today.”

Professor Renwick spoke on climate change at the Kelburn Campus this week, it was open for the public to attend.

The talk went into some detail on the importance of reducing carbon dioxide levels, to prevent future generations facing several metres of sea level rise, which would affect billions of people.

“Climate change doesn’t happen at the same rate everywhere or in the same way,” says Professor Renwick.

“We’re already observing obvi-ous changes in climate in some parts of the world. Alaska, for instance, has experienced its

warmest May ever, with large tracts of land having no snow , a remarkable thing for the area at any time of year. New Zealand, on the other hand, isn’t expected to feel the sharp end of climate change until much later in the century,” he commented.

The Professor’s address was enti-tled ‘A Tale of Two Hemispheres’, highlighting the differences most apparent at the earth’s poles.

“In the case of the Arctic, there is almost no land mass north of

latitude 70 degrees, meaning a relatively thin ice layer over the ocean. Antarctica, on the other hand, is a very large land mass, with ice up to four kilometres thick in some places. While the sea ice is very obviously dimin-ishing in the Arctic, what we’re observing around Antarctica are increasing levels of sea ice,” he added.

Quite chilling and impactful comments and statistics from the Professor.

It was a glamorous afternoon

filled with high fashion, high

tea and jazz for about 40 people who attended a recent fashion parade at The Mews boutique in Thorndon.

The Nineteen//46 autumn and

FASHION AND A SHOW: Nineteen//46 designer Bronwyn Eichbaum and her Gipsy Fiddlers bandmates Zak Dikverg and Ruth Prentice entertain at The Mews’ fashion show PHOTO: Kath Boyle

Fashion in Thorndonwinter collection was mod-elled, with designer Bronwyn Eichbaum in store to talk about the line and the importance of style.

She says she wants to inspire women to be experimental with their fashion choices.

“Our customer base is mainly 30 plus in age with many over 50 years old. It’s really impor-tant for women to feel confi dent about their own personal style as they get older.”

Bronwyn says Nineteen//46, a women’s merino range made in Levin, is inspired by the wardrobes of men and women on the street and uses tradi-tional full-fashioning tech-niques rather than cut-and-sew methods.

“The ranges evolve really from season to season. The only consistent inspiration is comfort. If it isn’t comfortable it won’t work,” she added.

Bronwyn also performed at the event with her band The Gipsy Fiddlers.

The Mews’ co-owner Sarah Riddiford says she and fellow co-owner Minty Green hold fashion parades seasonally.

“They take a bit of effort, but they are fun. This one was in the afternoon rather than the evening which gave it more of a relaxed vibe,” says Sarah

This was the fi rst time The Mews had featured Nine-teen//46.

“We have always tried to go for New Zealand brands, but it’s getting harder because a lot of them are gone now. Nine-teen//46 has a lot of interesting shapes and designs. It’s not your ordinary run-of-the-mill knitwear,” explains Sarah.

Ticketing for the show also fundraised $300 for the Red Cross Nepal Earthquake Ap-peal.

By Fiona Donnellan David Sole, Manager of the Bo-

tanical Gardens, made a special visit to the Room 9 students at St Brigid's School, Johnsonville this week to thank them for all the hard work ahead of the Children's Garden at the Botanical Gardens.

The Room 9 children were eager to talk about the project and their work with swan plants, in particular, which has been on-going since February.

Room 9 pupils and their teacher Lorna Webb explained that they had read about the new Children’s Garden being created in the Botanical Gardens.

They had also noticed that outside Room 4 at their school were lots of swan plants. The class decided to pot the swan plants, write a letter to David at the Botanical Gardens and hoped to donate the plants to the

Children’s Garden development.Miguel Bautista, a Room 9

student explained that the garden was going to be really cool and that the class wanted it to be even more special.

David Sole was so impressed by the class’ efforts he came to visit the class to show them the plans and concept drawings for the garden which is set to be complete by 2016. The garden at the Botanics is still in early stages so the class decided it best to sell on the plants so they don’t go to waste, inviting the community to buy some.

Following on from this, the class were so excited about the whole process of sowing and planting that they took it a step further - they entered a colouring competition at Easter which they won and received money to put towards even more plants from Twigland Gardeners World.

Lorna explained that the class has done such a “good job planting and looking after the plants,” that the class will plant a little garden of their own outside the library at the school.

The Room 9 class told the Independent Herald that they hoped to sew plants that attract butterflies and that they’ve even read up about gardening in magazines in school in preparation for the work.

The Nepal earthquake inspired the winner of this year’s Victoria University of Wellington’s Global Enterprise Experi-ence competition. The supreme award winner Asira Khanal was announced at Parliament recently. Her entry was in-spired by her fi rst-hand experience of the devastating earthquake in Nepal earlier this year. Asira lost fi ve family members in the April quake and sheltered for many nights under a tarpaulin. Her winning idea was to manufacture cheaply-made ceramic water fi lters for developing coun-tries where safe drinking water is scarce.

Ritchie is pleased to be able to advance the funding commitment for the brand new and state of the art Johnsonville Library. “The new library will happen. It’s the most happening and major new facility for the City and Northern suburbs,” says Helene.

Helene explains that the plans for the new library will go ahead with col-legial support, and some extra funds to enhance the natural environment and

funding for an interactive children’s garden. Helene wants to ensure that “future generations will learn about the value of books and communication, appreciate nature, understand that get-ting dirty is OK and know how some of their food grows.”

It was as far back as 2011 when Wel-lington City Council fi rst investigated four potential sites for expanding the Johnsonville library. The space of 1800 square metres that sits next to the Johnsonville Community Centre and Keith Spry Pool on Moorefi eld Road

was agreed upon.Wellington City Councillors voted

unanimously in favour of pushing the design phase into the next stage for a proposed community hub.

The preliminary design of the library was completed in December 2014 followed by a more detailed design planned for August this year.

The library which is currently on Broderick Road has served the com-munity well, but it’s thought that Johnsonville needs a bigger library because of its ever growing population.

Chef Elizabeth Marshall ran a tasty cooking course in Churton Park Com-munity Centre last week. Elizabeth wanted to make easy and healthy Chi-nese food simple for any level of cook.

The class included demonstrations from the 2014 MasterChef New Zealand contestant, there was also samples to try, recipes and a goodie bag for each member of the class.

All the recipes included on the night were gluten free, and Elizabeth showed the class every step in making two Chinese favourites - vegetarian Lo Mein and Sweet and Sour Pork dish with a vegetarian option available.

Elizabeth has worked in Martin Bosley’s, as a chef at Sarah Searancke Catering and Simon Gault’s restaurants in Wellington, and has years of experi-ence “cooking for kids to adults and creating delicious gluten free, vegan, dairy free, egg free and sugar free

versions of people's’ favourite recipes.”About 2 months ago, Elizabeth made

the brave decision to leave work in restaurants to focus solely on her own business, which she is currently re-branding, replacing 'Colour Me Kitchen' with Elizabeth Marshall. Providing speciality catering and cakes, private masterclasses and cooking parties such as this.

In her spare time, Elizabeth volunteers for the Newlands Community House lunches, and other community groups and charities across Wellington like Kaibosh, DCM, Bluelight and Kiwi Community Assistance. “Community is very important to me and I enjoy making a positive difference in the lives of others,” says Elizabeth.

Elizabeth's next class in Churton Park Community Centre is called Sugar Free Baking and Cooking and takes place July 23, so wooden spoons at the ready. For further information on Elizabeth see www.elizabethmarshall.co.nz.

It was defi nitely a close-knit group in Johnsonville Community Centre last Wednesday. Every month a group of avid knitters gets together to knit baby blankets, booties, vests, singlets and more. The group of fun loving and feisty ladies have been putting their needles to the test for over eight years now and their efforts means that infants at the Prenatal Unit in Wellington Hospital benefi t from receiving beauti-fully knit lilac, lemon, pink and aqua garments and throws. The wool means that it doesn’t create static when around the electrical equipment at the hospital, one member of the group explained.

There are around 18 members in the knitting circle from all over the region

including Newlands, Johnsonville, Khandallah and Churton Park.

The wool for the group is provided by the Hospital which they source from a Mill. The majority of the garments are made for premature babies and older babies who are sick, and also the elderly. The group also chooses to send some of the carefully crafted items of clothes in parcels for Mother’s Day or Christmas for mothers who are less fortunate.

Last year alone 626 pieces were created, and so far this year the group have made an estimated 300 garments. Considering it can take up to three days to make a cardigan and a week to make a singlet it’s quite the impressive feat.

It’s hard to believe it but this week Zealandia turns twenty. The local wildlife safe-haven is marking the occasion with free entry to anyone younger than the sanctuary this week-end. During its time, Zealandia has certainly achieved many conservation milestones, including the reintroduction of over a dozen species, some of which had been extinct from mainland New Zealand for generations.It was in 1992 that a group of Wellington conservation and science organisations in the Karori area and beyond proposed the development of the wildlife sanctuary. The

proposal for the eco-restoration project and education facility was deemed feasible and work began in 1994.There will be an education showcase in the Visitor Centre Foyer, there will also be a historic photo presentation for visitors; documenting many of the changes, and developments which happened in Zealandia over the years and the people who made it happen. On July 4-5 kids go free to see the tuatara, kiwi and giant weta, but regular admission fees apply for over 20’s. For more information on the celebrations see www.visitzealandia.com

Johnsonville Mall is changing with the times with the opening of an innovative co-working space which aims to energise the suburb.

Sub Urban Co-Working has recently confirmed their first location will be opening in Au-gust thanks to the help of Urban Dream Brokerage who connect groups with vacant commercial spaces to aid urban revitalisation.

The space will be a collabo-rative hub for enterprise and entrepreneurship for the northern suburbs. “Sub Urban is a catalyst for collaboration, enterprise and innovation. I came up with the idea in November, and we went through Neighbourly (the free and private neighbourhood website) and it had a really great response,” says co-founder Kathleen Wright.

The concept stems from the idea of business co-working, yet meets the needs of those with smaller businesses in the community.

DOABLE AND WE’RE DOING IT: Sub Urban Co-Founders Diana Dallas, Reed Wade, Kathleen Wright and Charmaine Wright PHOTO: Supplied

Sub Urban Co-Working

The rental space means smaller businesses can avail of internet, printing, free parking, meeting spaces, a Skype booth and the all important coffee.

“There is a rich connection in the suburbs, you can build trust and a successful business. We’re all about connecting the com-munity and appreciating what everyone has to offer,” she added.

Kathleen has been busy so-cialising the concept throughout the community and local busi-nesses over the past few months.

“We already have a number of co-founding organisations on board to drive our early develop-ment,” says Kathleen, including an electrician, accountant and web developer.

Kathleen went on to explain that Gerard Earl from the Mall and DNZ Property was excited about the project and they even have “plenty of exciting concepts still being planned.”For further information see https://suburbancoworking.wordpress.com/

“We want to support innovation, there are many people working locally out of their home offi ce and this can be isolating,” says Kathleen.

The name may have changed and the owners once or twice but since 1945 the Animal Medical Centre has been providing a high standard of veterinary care not only to the Northern Suburbs but also the wider Wellington region. When Mike and Antoinette Benfell bought the practice in 2005 they set out to continue the fine legacy which had been created of providing the very best care for your best friend, your friendly neighbourhood vet. Ten years down the track we are still seeing pets and families that have been with us since that very first day back in 2005. We have been extraordinarily lucky to be blessed with a hugely loyal clientele, with whom we have not only witnessed the comings and goings in their families’ lives, but also theirs of ours, which, over the last 10 years, has seen three fabulous kids arrive. Our house has become a revolving door not only for patients we need to do overnighters with, but cats, an extraordinarily badly behaved dog, rabbits and guinea pigs!We are really excited about the next 10 years and beyond in this fabulous community. Thank you to all our lovely clients, we would not be here without your unwavering support! Please take the opportunity to come and join us for a slice of birthday cake on Fridays throughout July.

Your correspondent Peter Graham’s greatest priority for Wellington is to bulldoze a motorway through it so that folk can drive across town unimpeded by pesky traffi c lights (Letter to the Editor, June 24).

Well in order to show that his is not the only view, there are others of us who believe a much greater need is to fi x the “broken public transport

spine”, whereby everybody arriving by train must get out, walk, then change to some other mode if they wish to continue on.

This is far more onerous than any small delay motorists might face. A car will take you with relative ease anywhere in the city already, without a billion dollars spent on more roading.

This public transport disconnect is what really lets Wellington down and results in much more cross-city traffi c than need be.

Come on Greater Wellington Council and the NZ Transport Agency - extend the rail system instead!

David Bond,Ngaio

Would you like your home to have the warm wall feel of a new home?

About UsLike many poms making New Zealand my home was the best move I ever made! NZ is ahead of the game in many areas but not in the warmth, comfort and health of it's older homes. Your home should be a warm comfortable place without mould and shouldn't cost the earth to heat.

Reducing heat loss from a home by adding insulation is the smart and cost effective way to achieve this for the life of the dwelling. With a B.Sc. Hons. background coupled with experience in thermal engineering and after many years gaining experience installing products used for over 30 years in the NZ market place we introduced the dry Insulmax® range of systems designed to insulate - Existing Walls - All Ceilings & Subfloors.

Professional, unbiased advice is one of the attributes our customers appreciate as well as an obligation free (no pressure) quotation available at your convenience.

Our goal is for everyone to have the opportunity to have a drier, warmer, quieter and healthier home through effective insulation

We look forward to transforming your home to how it should be

The best insulation for the tightest of roof spacesInsulmax® blown blanket insulation system insulates the entire ceiling and fills all corners and crevices with no voids or gaps, which can reduce the effectiveness of conventional segment or blanket products.

Low roof spaces and skillion (flat roof) designs can be difficult to properly

insulate with conventional products, but Insulmax® ceiling insulation can effectively be installed in the tightest of roof spaces.

Installed at almost any thickness, we can suit your individual requirements of insulation R rating and budget.

Innovative acoustic insulationIf you're trying to reduce the noise from annoying neighbours or create a quiet zone in your home, Insulmax® Acoustic Insulation could be the answer when installed in subfloors or internal / external walls.

Installation is quick and easy and can take 1 - 2 days depending upon floor / wall area. Installation in subfloors can be done via small holes made after the carpet is temporarily rolled back.

By Fiona Donnellan This will be of inter-

est to residents living in Churton Park and the sur-rounding area. Three local business women, Janine Archer, Maria Whitehead and Belinda Falconar are hosting a women's health evening in Churton Park Community Centre, July 7.

The idea behind the evening is that the three women collectively want-ed to share their expertise and knowledge on health issues with the public.

Janine is a movement coach and will discuss the root causes of back and neck pain which affect woman on a daily basis and the options for avoiding any pain in the future. Janine will be giving free ‘war-rant of fi tness’ checks on the night.

Maria will pre-sent some valu-able information on Cardiovas-cular Disease, D ia b e t e s a nd Obesity, its preva-lence in the commu-

nity and preventions and treatment of the diseases with correct nutrition and supplements. This will in-clude product tasting and a food guide for guests.

Finally, Belinda who is an acupuncturist and dis-tributor of Drion Organic Sanitary Products will touch on the toxic nature of products and how it can affect one’s health.

This will be of huge interest to any health-conscious readers, who are interested in improving their overall health and nutrition.

Starship, New Zealand’s national children’s hospital has nearly 120,000 patients visit them every year from all over the country. This week the new National Air Ambu-lance plane was revealed to help make this journey a little easier.

That means that year-round, day and night, the Starship National Air Ambulance brings children from all over New Zealand to Starship.

The latest air ambulance is a King Air 350 turboprop and will provide life-saving flights. The King Air turboprop is the world’s most popular and safest current

production turboprop aircraft, with long range capabilities so that means non-stop fl ights at speeds of 300 knots, for faster response and retrieval times.

The avionics technology which the plane has are top notch and include ‘synthetic vision’ giving pilots the safest and most reliable means of navigation day and night.

The plane’s exterior is decorated with fun and bright pictures of doctors, nurses, patients, rock-ets, planets and stars, this clever artwork was designed by award-winning ad agency Republik and painted by Elliott Aviation.

Starship Foundation raised $1.5 million last year for the Starship

National Air Ambulance Service so this plane was made possible for patients and their families during what can be a stressful time.

“We are so grateful to the gener-ous organisations and people from all around the country who help us raise the funds to keep this lifeline for New Zealand families in the air,” says Starship Foundation Chief Executive Brad Clark.

“Without their support, we could not provide such a vital service to every child in urgent need of lifesaving care.”

The Starship Foundation is a charity that raises funds so Star-ship Children’s Health can better care for its young patients.

By Fiona Donnellan Six stand-out New Zealanders were hon-

oured last week at Victoria University as part of the Distinguished Alumni Awards, including the Rt Rev’d Dr. Penelope (Penny) Jamieson who spent many years as Vicar of Karori West with Makara in Wellington.

Impressively Penny was the fi rst woman in the world to be ordained a diocesan bishop of the Anglican Church.

Fellow recipients on the night were Olympic gold-medallist Ian Ferguson, businessman and sports administrator Alan Isaac, curator and artist Helen Kedgley, Maori leader and social and political analyst Tamati Kruger and entrepreneur Derek Handley who received their awards in front of a crowd of 400 people

Victoria University Chancellor Sir Neville Jordan says the evening was a great success.

“It was an honour to have so much talent and mana under one roof,” he says.

“This year’s recipients have each demon-strated an exceptional talent, and Victoria University is hugely proud of them and their achievements locally, nationally and on the world stage. These awards do more than celebrate their profound and lasting achievements. They recognise the talent, courage and innovative thinking that has propelled them to the civic leaders we know them to be.”

Sir Neville added, “Victoria University prides itself on its high calibre of gradu-ates. The success of these six outstanding alumni is a testament to the University not only contributing to the global community, but taking a leading part in growing its future.”

All six top achievers including Penny were on hand to accept their awards at Shed 6 on Wellington’s Queens Wharf. Victoria has presented Distinguished Alumni Awards since 2006 as a way of recognising and honouring the contribution made by its graduates.

For students entering Year 9 in 2016

By Fiona Donnellan Bridget Young, 17, from Kelburn, is

feeling composed after her musical talents were recognised lately. The Samuel Marsden Year 13 student was selected for the New Zealand School of Music Composition Class which is part of the Young Musicians Programme.

Following on from this one of Bridget’s compositions, ‘Nothing Personal’, was played by the New Zealand String Quartet.

“Seven or eight of us were chosen for the Young Musician Programme and we composed for the string quartet,” says Bridget.

Bridget plays the violin and says, “I started playing when I was six. I play it at school and I compose.”

“I had to do composing in school and so I started doing that and real-ised I really enjoyed it,” says Bridget.

“Violin is as important as school, but it’s more composing that I enjoy,” she added.

Bridget went on to explain that her chosen composition ‘Nothing Per-sonal’ was from the second Captain America fi lm, she’s a big fan of fi lm and TV scores. “The piece is in the second fi lm, that’s the kind of music I like to do.”

Explaining the composing process, Bridget says, “At fi rst it [composing] can be quite hard. We had a compos-ing resident come into school and he said you’ve got these chords here, add melody over the top and progress from there. It really helped me get on track.”

Music to our ears Venturer Scouts ages between 14 and 18 years are raising funds by selling books, books and more book next month. They are having the sale in Churton Park Community Centre on August 8 to raise money to help get to a big Australasian jamboree for Ventur-ers in Rotorua this coming January. This big 10-day adventure will cost each kid over $1,000 so they’re aiming to raise as much funds as possible before January. So book lovers and bookworms can lend a helping hand.

FOOTBALL FUN AT NAIRNVILLE: Girls only soccer league teams Bombays versus Lucknows at Nairnville Park PHOTOS: Bella photography

Keeping ahead in their league

It was an exciting weekend for rugby, Wellington’s Westpac Stadium was a full house affair as Hur-ricanes took an impressive 29-9 victory over the Brumbies. Hurricanes renewed energy was inspired and their performance never faltered with high tempo attacks, charging towards the line from the start. Costly mistakes by the Brumbies meant an impressive win.

The Highlanders had a near perfect display at the weekend against Waratahs winning 37-17, making them look ordinary with missed passes, missed kicks and missed chances.

The Highlanders are more than worthy of a crack at the title, but Hurricanes have the home advantage and have had a truly magic season so far, now they await the southern men.

This weekend sees the Super Rugby title fi ght, it is only the 5th time in 20 years that the title has been contested between two New Zealand teams. It won’t be a dull game this Saturday at 7.45pm.

Rugby

By Rachel Binning Luck has got nothing to do

with it for the all girl soccer team the Lucknows.

Hard work paid off for the team to closely beat fellow Onslow Junior Football girls only soccer league [GOSL] team the Bombays 2-1 in fresh northerly conditions at Nairn-ville Park last Saturday.

“It was cool to win,” the team

said in unison at the end of their game. The Lucknows player of the day was Jemma Seymour, and the Bombays player of the day was Zoe Cameron.

Coach Darrin Douglass said the team made “two brilliant goals” and they “played really well.”

throughout the season.Onslow Junior Football

GOSL coordinator Justine Empson said the players from the Bombays and the Luc-knows have been together for over three years and play summer football together.

Onslow has 16 GOSL teams with approximately 150 girls registered playing the winter league, which runs between April and August. GOSL ca-

ters for girls aged 7-14 with an under 17 league being played in term four of each year.

“Capital Football started running [GOSL] about seven years ago to introduce girls to football. Sunday was chosen so they could also play other sports on Saturday, but so they could access the artificial surfaces around Wellington,” Justine says.

Girls can also choose to play

Saturday football in the mixed Capital Football junior football competition.

Onslow boasts past, current and hopefully future New Zea-land Football representatives who have started and fi nished their junior level football ca-reers with the club.
