Pool time

By Megan Connolly

You would have been hard-pressed not to have had fun at the opening of the Wainuiomata Swimming Pool at the weekend.

The warm weather of the weekend was a taste, hopefully, of the sum-

mer to come.

Over 900 people showed up over the two days.

Entry to the pool was free to celebrate the season-opening which is a great reason to drag the whanau along for a cool down.

Splashing out at the opening of the Swimming Pool Continued from page 1.

Sat u rday’s temperat u re reached a high of 21.3 degrees celsius while Sunday’s weather was much warmer, reaching a high of 25.6 degrees celsius.

It seems like the summer sun is definitely on its way!

Over previous years the weather hasn’t always been great but this year perhaps might mark the warmest opening.

“It traditionally rains on opening weekend, so it was great to have some fantastic weather to open up with,” aquatics facilities manager at Hutt City Council,

Lauren Hudson says.

Temperatures for the first week of November have been relatively the same for the last three years, according to MetService.

From 2016 to 2018 the average temperature has been at the lower end of 20 degrees.

The highest getting to 22 degrees.

The average daily high for Wainuiomata in November is 17.4 degrees celsius with the average daily low being 9.5 degrees celsius.

Local resident Nikita Temple took along her young children

and made the most of the sun and free entry.

“It’s lovely weather for it,” she says.

Nikita and her family love heading to the pool every year, she says.

Her son, William TempleRobson’s favourite activity is to go on the slide with his dad, he says.

There was even the opportunity for some lucky youngsters to eat some cake who had been invited to a fifth birthday party on Saturday afternoon.

The swimming pool repre-

sents the hard work of the community who fundraised for the opening of the pool by raising 24 500 pounds.

It officially opened in November 1967. The pool celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2017.

Wainuiomata’s Swimming Pool is a hub for whanau summer activities with several different sized pools including a 50-metre, children pools, an 80-metre hydro slide and spa.

The hydro slide was installed in 1984 which the community rallied and raised their own funds for.

Keith and Dot White celebrated their 60-year wedding anniversary last week.

They say the secret to a happy long marriage is simple: sharing.

“We share everything and we work together,” Dot says.

“It’s about give-and-take. We talk about things,” Keith had moved to New Zealand from England not long before he met Dot and didn’t have many friends other than the people he boarded with or bonded with on the ship.

“I didn’t know a soul,” Keith says.

The couple met in 1959 while they were both working at the United Empire Box Company, making cardboard boxes.

“Every day after work I would watch her ride off on a bike with another man which I assumed was her boyfriend,” Keith laughs.

“It wasn’t until a social evening at work that I found out he was her brother.”

From that moment, what was

it. The pair began talking and courting and basically doing everything together (not just because they worked in the same place).

They were engaged six weeks later.

Their wedding day was the

weekend after the Wellington Airport opened, he recalls.

“It was love at first sight,” he adds.

In 1961 they moved into the Wainuiomata home they purchased together where they raised three children, one son

and two daughters.

“Everyone always says ‘if we followed what you did, we’d be fine’,” Dot laughs.

They celebrated their anniversary officially with a handful of family and friends at the Fitzroy Tavern last Thursday night.

Community rallies to support Charlie after break-ins

By Megan Connolly

Charlie’s Sushi is a local icon that is located in the Queen Street Shopping Mall’s courtyard.

Over the long weekend, Charlie’s store was subjected to not one, but two break-ins. One on Friday, October 25 and one on Monday, October 28.

Thieves stole the hot water Infinity system which costs around $7000.

The first time they stole the Infinity, pastor and manager of

Tuatahi Centre Awhina Vailima came to the rescue, helping to replace and secure the new one with a grate.

In the second burglary the camera was taken out and the whole infinity was taken including the grate.

Thankfully, the community has rallied together to help Charlie get back on his feet, outraged by the news.

Labour MP Ginny Andersen’s office is next door and was incredibly saddened by the news.

She posted on her Facebook

page about Charlie’s Sushi and the response was huge.

“I’ve been totally overwhelmed, what a wonderful community,” Ginny says.

“It shows Wainuiomata has such a big heart at times like this.”

This Saturday, November 9 from 11am to 1pm there will be a sausage sizzle, with Ginny on the sausages and Awhina on the tomato sauce, to help raise money for a new Infinity.

“It is about reclaiming the space and making sure people

“And to make sure Charlie feels good.”

There will be an opportunity to give a koha and all proceeds will be going to Charlie.

Charlie’s Sushi has been operating out of the Shopping Mall Courtyard for over seven years.

“First I am very thankful for everyone’s help and your care for me. And to Ginny who helped organise the fundraiser,” he says.

“I can feel the care.”

This year Subway New Zealand has donated 115,000 meals to KiwiHarvest, thanks to the support of New Zealanders on World Sandwich Day. Food insecurity impacts around 40 per cent of New Zealanders and around one in five children live in households without access to enough food.

Subway New Zealand Countr y Director Chris Churchmichael said World Sandwich Day was one of the ways that Subway was giving back to the community and helping tackle hunger.

Fitness fundraiser for Nehemiah

By Megan Connolly

Put your sneakers on because this Saturday there will be a fun fitness event for the whole whanau at the War Memorial Community Hall from 1pm.

The event is to raise money for local eight-year-old Nehemiah who is currently undergoing cancer treatment.

There will be barbeques, spot prizes, raffles, fitness demonstrations outside the hall and a Zumba dance fitness inside.

Cora Lambert of Fitness with Cora is organising the event and taking the 90-minute dance fitness class.

Door entry will be $20 which will also include access to a mirimiri inside.

All of the funds made on the day will be going straight to Nehemiah and his family The Theme is ‘Everything is Awesome’ from the Lego

movie.

Everyone is encouraged to dress up as anything lego inspired and there will be a prize for the best dressed.

The fundraiser is a combined effort between several of the local dance fitness groups but Cora is the brainchild and organiser.

“It is whanau friendly so everyone can come. It’s not just for fit people but an opportunity for everyone just to get out and be active,” she says.

“I’d love to get as many people here as possible to support Nehemiah.

“It’s not an easy time for the whanau and hopefully we can alleviate some of the stress.”

There was a fundraiser earlier in the year for Nehemiah but Cora missed it.

“I kept thinking about it and I knew I just had to do something for the boy.

Several local businesses have

From dreams to reality for exhibition

By Megan Connolly

Inspire Art Gallery opened its new exhibition at the weekend which features student work from The Learning Connexion, titled From Dreams to Reality.

The idea behind it is to showcase the talents of Hutt City residents and an opportunity for locals to see how art can be in many forms.

Included in the exhibition are two varieties of ceramics, illustration, realistic and abstract painting.

Not to mention the variety of people and ages of the students.

Local resident Margaret Willard, an artist and Learning Connexion student, loves the fact that art is a huge part of the community in Wainuiomata.

“Art is being able to indulge myself and find out who I really am,” she says.

“The arts are important. We need creativity. It is absolutely vital to our lives, it is Locals Michael Taylor and Joe Taeni (back) popped into the Inspire Art Gallery while how we express ourselves.” artists Mark Peck, Micky Rowse, Margaret Willard and Leilani Smith were looking at the The exhibition is open until November 14.

Armistice Day service on Monday

By Megan Connolly

Wainuiomata will be celebrating Armistice Day this Monday, November 11, at 11am, at the war memorial cenotaph in Queen Street, There will be a minute of silence, the last post will be played and there will be a reading of the Flanders Field poem.

The service is likely to go for half an hour.

Armistice Day is celebrated every year at the same time and date to mark the armistice signed between the Allies of World War I and Germany at Compiègne, France, for the end of hostilities which took effect at eleven o’clock in the morning.

Organiser Barry Bartlett says it’s really a remembrance day.

“And to say thank you to those men and women who gave their lives,” he says.

There were around 200 people from Wainuiomata impacted by the wars.

“20 went away and only six came back,” Barry says.

The armistice day commemoration is open to everyone in the community to attend.

“It has become a sort of forgotten tradition,” he says.

“I do hope that future generations do keep these traditions going.

“It’s important to remember those people who gave their lives.

“I hope everyone can realise what has gone on before, the sacrifices of these people and hope there is a worldwide and local understanding that fighting gets you nowhere,” Barry says.

Property evaluation completed in Lower Hutt Quotable Value has determined a new valuation for all properties in Lower Hutt In accordance with legislation.

This work is undertaken every three years on behalf of Hutt City Council and is one source of information to help council set rates. The new valuations are based on property values as of 1 September 2019.

As the population increases and more people pay rates the amount of rates is shared across a larger base, “Lower Hutt has around 39,000 ratepayers and that number is forecast to grow as the Wellington region grows and more people choose to live and do business in our city,” says Hutt City Council Chief Executive Jo Miller.

“A change in the rateable capital value of a property does not mean property rates will change by a similar percentage. Rates charges may vary depending on how a property value has changed in relation to the average change across the whole city.”

PETONE

Celebrating 25 years of success When Leo O’Sullivan and his brother Keiran opened the Petone Pak’nSave, it was only the third one of the chain in Wellington and the twenty first in the country.

The owner-operated business has thrived and grown.

Keiran left 13 years ago to open the Pak’nSave in Lower Hutt. He kept up the family tradition, taking some of the first dayers with him – and like Leo still has quite a number there.

Leo’s two sons now work there. Ben, now store manager, was only nine when it opened while Angus, dry goods manager, was only seven.

Reflecting on the passing of time, Leo says: “Rebecca our service delicatessen manager wasn’t even born when we opened in 1994!”

They were always an innovative business.

In 2001, they started one of the first Shop’n’go systems in New Zealand, letting customers scan and pay for their own groceries. (In those days, you were allocated a little plastic barcode card to swipe, attached to your keyring.)

There was a major refurbishment in 2002, when the size of the building was increased by over a third. And in 2012 the carpark was covered which gives protection from the winter southerlies.

A thank you

The O’Sullivan family are preparing to celebrate twenty five years in the Petone Pak’nSave store. From left are Ben, store manager, Leo, owner and Angus, dry goods manager.

Petone Pak’nSave owner Leo O’Sullivan has a huge thank you for the community of loyal customers and suppliers who have supported them over the twenty five years they have been in business.

Their anniversary, being celebrated in the first week of November, will not only be marked by extra-special specials, but a large birthday cake for sampling.

A wide range of sporting competitions at national and international level have always been celebrated in the Pak’nSave. World Cup campaigns, Olympic Games, and other major sporting events see the store decorated inside and out with support banners, photos and posters.

“Sport brings people together,” says Leo. And that’s why this business is much more than just a business.

It’s about the opportunity to celebrate success and build a sense of community.

“This was the number one request from our customers after our first winter,” says Leo. There has, also over the years, been a dramatic growth in the number of products, and a move into specialty lines, with more emphasis on gluten free, organic and vegan foods, as well as international food items.

25

Leo enjoys the independence the owner-operated model gives them, saying it allows them to head off bureaucracy and make their own decisions about products, prices and promotions.

“It means what we do is tailored for our local customers’ needs,” he says.

ANNIVERSARY

First day staff remember how it all began Petone Pak’nSave checkout upervisor Jenny Thomas went home on the day the Petone Pak’nSave opened in November 1994 and told her husband she wasn’t going back.

“So did I,” says colleague Lorraine Tiriha. And checkout manager Ruby Tekahika, another “first dayer” - and like the first two also

from Wainuiomata - says: “It was the worst day of my whole life.”

That was the day the EFTPOS system went down nationwide.

“And the next day,” says owner Leo O’Sullivan. “It was gridlock in here.”

The tills could only take cash sales, or the old zip-zap machines used for credit cards in those days.

And some items wouldn’t scan.

“So we just gave them to the customers” says Leo. Jenny, Lorraine and Ruby, all from Wainuiomata, say they worked two fourteen-hour days one after the other, while Leo didn’t sleep for two days.

That first day there were queues out the door and ice cream was

melting in the trollies because of the wait. “Leo had to shut the doors in the end,” Ruby remembers.

“I had to call the Police to shut off the car park,” Leo recalls.

But all three women came back.

“And we’re so glad we did,” Lorraine says.

Why? Because, she says, they

have a wonderful boss. Ruby already knew that, because she had been working for Leo in his Wainuiomata supermarket.

They agree it’s like a family.

“We’re well cared for,” Lorraine says. “And I like seeing different people getting opportunities here that they might not get in other places.”

SPORTS TALK with Jacob Page

Cane shows his worth after tough fortnight If there has been a winner in the All Blacks’ World Cup demise, in my eyes, it’s Sam Cane.

Dumped from the starting line-up for the semifinal, his presence was sorely missed in a disastrous first 40 against England.

His efforts on the field, I often took for granted.

He’s not really my kind of flanker.

He’s not the ball-fetching, ruck hunting openside I grew up with.

However, his physical presence, defensive intensity and total doggedness is something we clearly need.

It’s the age-old saying - you don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone.

I’d bet coach Steve Hansen and co would pick Cane in their starting side if they could pick the semifinal team again.

That’s no disrespect to the man

who replaced him in Scott Barrett.

He was put in a position to fail.

An unfamiliar role where he naturally floundered on the biggest stage.

Usually the All Blacks take a punt on a guy and it usually comes up trumps.

Cane, who was once the presumptive captain-in-waiting, has likely lost that to Sam Whitelock now, but what he has proved is

a starting position is his going forward.

Congratulations must also go to the Springboks for their 20-point demolition of England in the final.

The game showed that English coach Eddie Jones, may have let his team down with his tunnel vision approach to beating the All Blacks, that there was no real plan for the final that followed.

As many sides have looked after

beating the All Blacks the prior week, the English looked timid and tired - emotionally spent after their new flawless performance seven days earlier.

With the Boks as world champs the new era of All Blacks have a measuring stick each year that is easy to compare.

A fascinating four years of rebuilding, learning and growth lies ahead.

Jake takes the gold

By Andy McGechan

The New Zealand Extreme Off-Road Championship series produced its third different winner in as many events at the weekend.

Wainuiomata’s Jake Whitaker won the elite Gold Class at the first round of four in the Yamaha-sponsored series near Whangamata in early September and Helensville’s Tommy Buxton won round two near Porirua two weeks later.

But it was home-town hero Mackenzie Wiig who took top honours at the weekend’s third round, a two-day affair with racing in Taradale on Saturday and Tutira on Sunday.

Napier’s Wiig won Saturday’s prologue event in Taradale, the course mostly man-made with tyres, rocks and steep ramps to keep riders on their toes, the local man edging out Buxton and then Whitaker for the day’s honours.

However, Whitaker won the four-hour extreme enduro event at Tutira the following day, crossing the line more

Club history was made at the weekend with Craig Foster who had a record score of 203* for the club.

than 30 minutes ahead of Wiig, with Buxton finishing third, 11 minutes further back.

This was enough for Wiig to be declared an overall winner for the weekend, with Whitaker second and Buxton third.

Whitaker continues to lead the Gold Class overall after three rounds, improving from two points to now be four ahead of Buxton, with Parker five points further back in third. Wiig did not contest the series opener and will not be racing at the final, so he has no chance of taking the silverware this season.

“It was a good result for me,” says Jake.

“I moved a couple of points further away from Tommy, even though I had a tough day Saturday ... I wasn’t feeling well and I was low on energy.

I was dosed up on Saturday night and that boosted me for Sunday.

“It was really hot, about 31 degrees Celsius, and I became a little dehydrated after my backpack of drinking water ran out. I gulped down plenty at the last pit stop and that got me to the end,” Jake says.

Tough time for cricket team It was a tough weekend for the local cricket team at the weekend.

Losing the toss Wainui premier reserve were put in to bat by the Sri Lankan cricket club.

Wainui put up a great score of 306/4 off their 50 overs.

Craig Foster made the highest individual score in Wainui club history scoring 203 not out supported by skipper Justin Morgan with an unbeaten 63.

The two put on a partnership of 186 and now hold the club record for the highest 5th wicket partnership.

In reply the Sri Lankans set the tone from the get-go and held all the momentum in the run chase,

achieving an unlikely 6 wicket win.

The best of the Wainui bowlers was Jordan Rangikauhata with 2-27.

Wainuiomata 2nds played Eastern suburbs and bowled first. Easts batted through their 50 overs and managed a respectable 251. Tanuj Ahuja was the pick of the Wainui bowlers with 2-23.

In reply, Wainui started well and looked in control at drinks. Filiva’a Tafuna’i contributed 44 and Dijo John Thottappally 49 but it wasn’t enough as they were dismissed for 223.

This week Wainui premier reserve will play Indian cricket club at Te Whiti Park.
