aged those new to the school, saying though they’re nervous now, a lot would happen throughout the year.

“There are lots of opportuntites and I encourage you to take as many as you can,” Craig says.

As children went back to school, Wainuiomata police also encourage everyone to think about road safety.

Inspector Peter McKennie says the school summer holidays are long.

He explains that means children might be out of practice at

getting to and from school.

“It is important to remind them that any time they are crossing the road they must stop, look, and listen for any cars, motorbikes, or cyclists before they step out,” Peter explains.

Police also urge all older children and adults to be good role models on the road and remember that kids are watching you and will do what you do.

“If you break the rules, children will think this is the norm and follow suit,” Peter says.

Hot days call for ‘mindful’ water use Wellington Water is asking residents to be mindful of their water use as the hot weather continues.

While long term water storage levels are good, unprecedented daily demand has been putting the supply system under pressure, says Jeremy McKibbin, acting general manager of operations at Wellington Water.

He says the network can struggle with refilling reservoirs overnight when there’s excessive use. “Of course, we recognise it’s hot, and using water to cool the kids off is part of what summer’s all about. We just want people to be mindful and not waste it.”

Households are reminded to make sure water goes where it’s useful by putting off

washing the windows or watering the lawn for a few days until it cools down.

Jeremy says water use had jumped up right across Wellington, Lower Hutt, Upper Hutt and Porirua.

If key reservoirs in these cities could not be refilled to normal operating levels, it could lead to reduced pressure and water quality issues as sediment in the reservoirs was stirred up.

Typical daily use on a warm day in the four cities, including at commercial premises, is about 160 million litres, or about 400 litres per person.

Over the past three days, that’s jumped to more than 180 million litres a day.

During the winter, the daily average is around 140 million litres.

Jeremy says current garden watering restrictions in place could be increased if hot dry weather continued.

“We’re not expecting to do that at the moment, but things can change quickly,” he says.  Watering restrictions currently in place limit people to the use of a single sprinkler or irrigation system between 6am to 8am and 7pm to 9pm on alternate days, with odd numbered houses watering on odd numbered days and even numbered houses watering on even numbered days.

Monthly movie night returns

By Dan Whitfield

It could be Moana or the Avengers, or even Breakfast Club, whatever the choice one thing is certain, the Wainuiomata Community Hub are bringing back its monthly movie nights.

The monthly events have been set up for anyone and everyone and are coordinated by Carlo Patea.

Alexia Herrera, who works alongside Carlo at the community hub, says from feedback, the community had been asking for more family activities and entertainment.

She says this is a programme that will help bring the community together.

The monthly movie will run on the last Saturday of every month in the large meeting room adjacent to the library.

It is open to all ages and families are encouraged to come along.

“We set the room up with beanbags, couches and cushions, and then play the film on our projector [so] it feels like you are in a movie theatre,”

Alexia says.

Though the movies are selected by by the team and are chosen to reflect the time of year (summer movies in summer and New Zealand movies around Matariki), they are very open to suggestions from the public.

“Carlo and I always look forward to seeing the families enjoy the movie time together.

We have a family that comes every month. They bring their lunch with them and have lots of fun! Its awesome,” Alexia says.

She says at the hub the aim is to help the community to feel connected to each other and have activities and programmes that promote togetherness.

“We are lucky to have a supportive and tight knit community already and we just want to help further it,” Alexia says.

This is the fifth time the monthly movie sessions have run.  How do you think the community hub team are doing with their programmes? What else would you like to see them do for the communtiy? Let them know via a letter to the editor: wainui@wsn.co.nz.

Look out for toxic algae, it’s here Hot weather and low rainfall have combined to increase the risk of toxic algae throughout the greater Wellington region, with some rivers now over the limit for safe swimming.

People are strongly advised not to swim in the Hutt River between Moonshine Bridge and Fairway Drive Bridge, or in the Pakuratahi River from State Highway 2 to its confluence with the Hutt River in Kaitoke Regional Park.

Mark Heath, senior environmental scientist at Greater Wellington Regional Council says children should be kept away from water in these sites and dogs should be kept on a

lead.

“No detached mats of toxic algae have yet been seen at any of our monitored sites. However this could change rapidly especially during warm weather, so we are urging people to be careful near all waterways throughout the region,” Mark says.

Given the rapid growth of toxic algae, and its potential change in coverage between weekly monitoring points, people are also urged to know what it looks like.

People are advised to check out information signs around popular swimming holes before going in the water. Otherwise

inbrief news Preparedness event The New Zealand Red Cross and Resilience to Nature’s Challenges are holding a joint disaster preparedness event in Lower Hutt this month where residents can learn about the risks in their area.

It is increasing the resilience of Aotearoa New Zealand by developing new scientific solutions to transform our response, recovery and bounceback from our wide diversity of natural hazards.

The event will be held at 6.30pm on Tuesday, February 12 at the Red Cross offices in Lower Hutt.

Entry is free, but spaces are limited so registration is required.

Come and explore Wellington’s historic Wrights Hill Fortress in Karori will be open for public inspection again on Waitangi Day today (February 6).

The World War Two coastal battery first opened to the public in 1989, and will be accessible between 10am and 4pm.

On Waitangi Day people are invited to self-guide themselves through the tunnels and gun emplacements.

The event is free and anyone can attend.

Vandalism not on One of the community barbecues in Queen Street was damaged recently by vandals.

A cone was left on top of one of the hot plates, causing it to melt over the cooking surface.

Though it has been cleaned up, Love Wainuiomata has asked for it not to happen again as it affects the community.

“When damage is done it takes money away from us doing new improvements, and makes it harder for us to get council permission to do more great stuff for our community,” Love Wainuiomata shared on Facebook.

The barbecue was installed by the community for the community. Already more than 4000 free sausages have been cooked up.

A world of possibilities.

Third strike on cards as doctors take to street

By Jamie Adams

In what is becoming a familiar sight, resident doctors at Wellington Hospital staged a picket on Riddiford Street during their second 48-hour strike at the end of January.

It comes after nurses and midwives employed by Capital & Coast District Health Board also held protests with placards outside the hospital as part of their strike actions in recent months.

However while those unions were demanding change, the 60-odd members of the Resident Doctors Association (RDA) out in force on January 29 were calling for the status quo.

Picket organiser Dr William Blackburne, who is based at the Hutt Hospital, says the strike, which went from 7am Tuesday to 7am Thursday, was about getting DHBs to agree to maintaining the conditions of the current collective contracts.

In 2016 the RDA campaigned for “safer hours” but is now concerned the DHBs have been trying to “claw back” the gains that were made from previous negotiations.

Despite junior doctors being required to work 10 days in a row, including 15-hour shifts a day on weekends, “we don’t want massive change,” William says.

“This is the system we want to maintain. We are not making outrageous demands. It’s about the number of these long days,” he says.

While it appears there will be another two-day strike to take place on February 12 and 13, William does not believe the industrial action is a lost cause.

“We think we are making some headway. We know it’s very important to do it.”

In an earlier statement, senior advocate for the RDA David

Munro says resident doctors “are committed and unwavering in their ongoing battle for a fair deal.”

“They will continue strike action in defence of their collective agreement.

“We are beyond frustrated at the fixed position of the DHBs.” he says.

Summer Horticultural Show moving to new facility in Taita during February The Hutt Valley Horticultural Society is taking their Summer Show to Taita on February 9 and 10.

The society is excited about using the Walter Nash Centre for the first time and encourages gardeners in the surrounding area to come along.

Although the old market gardens have disappeared, many properties have plenty of space and good quality soil to grow excellent produce and magnificent blooms.

Walter Nash Centre is one of the Hutt Valley’s newest event venues.

It was opened in 2015.

The centrepiece of the show will be displays from the Wellington Begonia Circle and Fuchsia Societies.

Other seasonal flowers on display are dahlias, sweet peas and roses.

However, ornamental flowers are only part of the show, with fruit and vegetables, native trees and shrubs, bonsai and cacti and succulents also present.

Members will be on hand to provide advice to visitors on how to get the best out of their gardens.

Plant and craft sales will take place at the show and include plants to stock your gardens and flowers to please your eye.

The Hutt Valley Horticultural Society has had an association with horticultural events in the Hutt Valley for 115 years.

It was formed in 1903 and continues its purpose of promoting the study and practice of horticulture in all its forms.

For more information, contact secretaryhvhs@outlook.com.

The show is open to the public with entry set at $3.

NZ’s top temperatures felt in Wainuiomata

By Dan Whitfield

The temperatures are still making life uncomfortable for schools and outdoor workers as the heatwave continues across New Zealand.

Last week, Wainuiomata was one of New Zealand’s hottest spots.

MetService meteorologist Angus Hines told the Wainuiomata News that on Tuesday, the weather station in Wainuiomata recorded 33.5C, which was indeed one of the warmest spots in the country.

“By my reckoning it was the third warmest spot in the whole country behind Kawerau and Lake Karapiro,” Angus says.

The weather station for Wainuiomata is on the northern side of of the Lower Hutt suburb, not far from Upper Fitzherbert Road.

“There are going to be a few more warm, dry days right around the Wellington region,” Angus admits.

Angus explained on Wednesday, January 30 the temperature is Wainuiomata reached 25.6C, with the top temperature

for the week on Thursday, January 31, around the 27C. A front moved into Wellington, that included some late rain on Friday night into early Saturday morning. This was followed by cooler southerly winds.

While the rain didn’t last long on Saturday, the front was accompanied by cooler air bringing temperatures back to average for this time of year over the weekend.

The top temp for Wainuiomata was around 23C, a comfortable change for many residents.

After the front weakened away by the end of the weekend, a ridge of high pressure was on the forecast.

Warmer temperatures were set to dominate the weather again this week.

Tui McInnes, another MetService meteorologist, says with hot temperatures and scorching sun, it is really important for people to be sun smart and stay safe.

He says people need to keep hydrated and look out for vulnerable members of the community and to not forget about pets.

Reunion for alumni of Wainuiomata College

The old Wainuiomata College site on Moohan Street. PHOTO: Supplied

By Dan Whitfield

Old friends and classmates will reunite over memories of the good old days as alumni of Wainuiomata College come together in March.

A reunion has been organised for former students of the college to reconnect, reminisce and revisit their old stomping ground.

Wainuiomata College opened in 1963 but unfortunately closed in 2001 due to a dwindling roll.

The closure saw it amalgamate with Parkway College, now known as Wainuiomata High School.

Hutt City Councillor Tui Lewis is an old girl of the school and is part of the committee organising the reunion.

She says people have been hankering for a reunion

for some time as the last one was in 1988.

“This one will be for whoever went to the school so they can come back and reconnect and reminisce,” Tui explains.

The reunion will be made up of three events.

The first is an informal get-together on Friday, March 29 with the event starting 6pm.

The next two will be on Saturday, March 30 and includes a hangi at 12pm and formal dinner at 7pm.

“It’s a chance for people to go over their old stomping ground and already there are more than 500 people interested,” Tui says.

Thinking back to her time at the college, Tui says it was a lot of fun.

“Everyone knew everyone, and it will be good to share the memories people have,” she says.

Overexposed!

Summer’s here and we’ve peeled off our winter woollies to bask in the warmth of the sun and enjoy the great outdoors. Unfortunately though, sunny days, outdoor activities and exposed skin are a perfect formula for sunburn. So what do you do when you wake up one morning with a tomato-red face and the skin on your legs stretched tight as a rubber band?

Treatment of minor sunburn Here are a few tips to take the sting out of sunburned skin: • Cool down the affected area with cool water and damp cloths • Apply a soothing lotion such as aloe vera, or a local anaesthetic cream.

Avoid heavy salves and butter; using these is an old wives’ tale, and you’ll actually make the burn worse.

• Take ibuprofen or paracetamol for pain and fever.

• Drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol which may dehydrate you further.

• Avoid repeated exposure to the sun for at least 48-hours.

Blistering heat The presence of fluid-filled blisters, swelling, and significant pain indicates a first-degree burn.

Second-degree burns from severe cases of sunburn can involve dehydration, secondary infection, shock or even death!

If you’re feeling too hot, too cold, a bit squeamish or are actually being sick, then you need to see a doctor.

You should also seek medical advice if the sunburn is widespread.

Children under 18 months of age with sunburn should always be seen by a doctor.

Talk to us at Clive’s Chemist if you have any concerns about sunburn, and remember to apply sunblock and cover up when outdoors over summer, and stay out of the sun altogether during the hottest part of the day.

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

If you could improve one thing about NZ what would you do and why?

Trinity Tauaneai, Wainuiomata “Equality between females and males because females aren’t the same in sporting terms.”

Troy Baker, Wainuiomata “I would change the evenness between all of the cultures in New Zealand - make it fair.”

Flynn Keall, Location “Help people learn Maori so that the language can exist.”

Henikawa Te Kira Turnbull, Wainuiomata “People to learn more Maori because it is important to our country.”

Sunny Gao, Wainuiomata “More shopping and retail choices for New Zealanders. There’s not enough in our malls.”

Rianna Le’afa-Paki, Wainuiomata “Helping the homeless because it is the right thing to do.”

Shared path enters final stage The warmer weather is ensuring the Wainuiomata Shared Path will have a May completion date.

The new route, running from Gracefield to Wainuiomata, is part of a $28million investment

by Hutt City Council and the New Zealand Transport Agency.

It involves a network of walking and cycling routes for and around the city.

Council’s senior project engineer Simon Cager says with the opening of the Pukeatua Bridge in 2015, stage one of the shared path complete, more and more people are walking and cycling the Wainuiomata Hill.

The development of the shared path was broken into two stages: the now open stage one, Gracefield to Pukeatua Bridge, and

the to-be-completed stage two, Pukeatua Bridge to Wainuiomata.

It features a four metre off road sealed path for pedestrians and cyclists, new roadside barriers and upgraded street lighting.

Work on stage two began in July last year with vegetation removal, earthworks and new retaining walls.

Construction is expected to take

eight months, with completion in May. Lower Hutt Mayor Ray Wallace says already he has seen an increased number of locals using the path, despite it not being complete.

He says it’s great but people need to be careful as much of the Wainuiomata side is still a construction site.

“People have been very im-

pressed and contractors have been fantastic. It’s going to be a great addition to the communtiy,” Ray says.  Do you think it’s a worthwhile investment into the community?

Why? Will you walk over to the Hutt Valley more when it’s completed? How have you found the construction process? Send your thoughts to wainui@wsn.co.nz.

New developments top for first home buyers Three new medium-density housing developments in Lower Hutt are attracting huge interest from buyers, indicating that what people want in a home is changing.

Hutt City Council-owned property company Urban Plus Limited is experiencing high demand for its new developments with one sold out, over half of another under contract and a 27 dwelling development in the planning stage already receiving enquiries.

Bringing new property to market including affordable homes is a key part of council’s strategy to stimulate urban growth in the city.

Mayor Ray Wallace says developments are contributing to a current building boom in Lower Hutt, which is expecting to see an additional 1535 new dwellings built in the next few years.

“It is an exciting time for new housing developments in Lower Hutt and great to see our city growing with more people wanting to live in our fantastic city,” Ray says.

In what is a unique model, Urban Plus also contributes to housing growth by investing any profits in to developing subsidised rental accommodation for Lower Hutt’s elderly.

Already this financial year it has grown its residential portfolio by seven units in the Hutt Valley.

Fun in the sun as family play day hits Wainuiomata

By Dan Whitfield

With summer making itself known, it was time to get out and have some outdoor fun as Hutt City Council’s Active in the Hutt team brought a family play day to Wainuiomata.

The free event, that was held last week, was for families with young kids was all about unstructured, free-form play and physical activity.

There was plenty to enjoy including a waterslide, jump rope, and much more.

Organisers from the Active in the Hutt team say the event was a success and it was good to see local families come along.  Do you have an event coming up you’d like us to attend? Let us know by sending an email to wainui@wsn.co.nz with a small description about what’s happening and when.

The team at the Vivian Street office comprises three experienced dermatologists: Dr Ian Coutts, Dr Scott Barker, and Dr John Snow.

SPORT Sports talk

11

with Jacob Page

Black clash backlash I had a ticket to the Black Clash event at Hagley Park a fortnight ago, but giving it up for health reasons was the best thing I could have done.

Long story short, my recovery from surgery was slower than I’d hoped and I’d decided I couldn’t hack sitting on grass for five hours.

Initially, I was disappointed to part with my $60 ticket but as the cricket versus rugby cricket

match hit game day, I realised I’d lucked out.

First of all, the game was a cash grab for Duco Events.

You can play for the Lomu/ Crowe Trophy - a shameless attempt to add credibility to the game - but it merely came across as lipstick on a pig.

The game was broadcast live on TVNZ 1.

There goes the motivation to go

to the game (which to be fair was almost a sell out anyway).

The irony of the free-to-air coverage is that most of the players - All Blacks and Black Caps of the past 20 years - could only be seen in the prime of their careers behind Sky’s paywall.

The game itself was of pretty average quality.

I love watching Chris Harris bat and bowl - watching him is one

of the reasons I fell in love with sport as a child 25 years ago but I can watch him for free rolling his arm over at Sydenham Park every Saturday for free if I wanted.

People love nostalgia and if that’s why you purchased a ticket then more power to you but it felt as if the Black Clash refused to stay in its lane.

Ironic it was that the TVNZ 1 news bulletin was curtailed by

30 minutes for such a game and yet sport fans have been starved of free sport on free TV for more than 20 years.

One final thing, the camera angles and ball tracking off the bat was well below accepted standards.

Hopefully that is not an omen for when the network broadcasts the Rugby World Cup in nine months time.

Cycling helps mum get through busyness of life and depression

By Dan Whitfield

Becky Burrows says life is crazy.

“Working, commuting, having a small child, a dog, finding and maintaining a home. It seems pretty overwhelming and anxiety provoking for people,” she says.

However, it’s cycling that helps Becky through her day-to-day; switching from the fast lane to the cycle lane.

“You would think it’s another thing that a young mum doesn’t have time for. What I have found is the complete opposite,” she says.

As part of her daily routine, Becky found that she could get the groceries, walk the dog and sometimes even get her young son to sleep all in one go thanks to cycling.

Becky explains that as a new mum, being able to cycle to get fit, get out with baby, do errands, go shopping, as well as overcome her own anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was helpful.

“I have cycled since I was a child but it was when we moved to Wainuiomata and got our dog that I fell in love with riding,” Becky says.

“Wainuiomata is such a great place to cycle around too. It’s flat and from our house it’s actually just as fast as a car to get to the supermarket. Cycling around Wainuiomata feels like I’m on holiday without a care in the world. In one word, it’s freedom,” she says.

For someone facing the same things in life, Becky explains that she would say don’t rush but it is important to keep active.

“Take time. A couple of deep breaths will slow you down and help you to relax into it. You need relaxation in your life more than anything,” Becky says.

She says one in four people will be diagnosed with an anxiety condition in their lives.

“Keeping active is a healthy way to use that anxious energy.

“I’m still battling with some things. But I have used exercise to help me overcome depression and reduce symptoms of PTSD.

Wainuiomata looks for the win

By Greg Ross

Wainuiomata might be on the up but all will be decided this weekend.

Wainuiomata Cricket Club’s top team faced off against University at Bryan Heath Park last Saturday.

The team’s strong batting effort was headed by Nick Neary, who picked up 110, and Tim Wilson, scoring 52, with a number of other quick contributions taking the team to an imposing total of 279.

In reply, University lost wickets regularly and a score of under 100 was on the cards until the University captain made a very good 90.

Callum Mackaness with 3/25 and Justin Logan with 3/51 were the leading destroyers and kept the total to 159.

With a lead of 120, Wainui

have enforced the follow-on and University will need to bat well this Saturday to avoid defeat.

Also at Bryan Heath Park, it was a low scoring first day for Wainuiomata’s second side who took on Easts on a bowler-friendly pitch.

The home side relied heavily on Rajan Soma but the score of 70 looked well below par until Chris Offord (6/30) and Jordan Nevalagi (3/13) got to work.

The Easts succumbed for only 54, and Wainuiomata will look to build on their first innings lead to set a challenging target this Saturday.

In the Hutt Valley T20 grade, Wainuiomata Rosco’s bowled well in a top of the table clash against the Upper Hutt Dreamboats. However, ultimately lost after poor batting. The Wainui Brownies also suffered a loss.
