Wainuiomata is home to beautiful native wildlife and forests; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a paradise only 30 minutes from the capital of New Zealand. This is part of the reason why Sally-ann Moffat moved out to Wainuiomata many years ago. Now she says, the natural habitat is being threatened by the new resource consent expansion proposed for the cleanfill on Coast Road. The cleanfill was consented for operation for only six years then turned into a reserve. Now the cleanfill has been running for nine years and Sally-ann and Miria Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Regan believe there is more to it than meets the eye and are concerned about what materials have been dumped there. Continued on page 2. Coast Road resident, Sally-ann Moffat is concerned about the environmental impacts of the expansion of the cleanfill so close to a flood catchment. PHOTO: Megan Connolly

Continued from page 1. The waste taken to a cleanfill is defined specifically by the waste materials that can be dumped there, specifically not domestic recyclables. How this differs from a landfill is that the materials must be non-toxic, environmentally clean, free of contaminants that may cause harm to people, animals or the environment they come in contact with. The Wainuiomata cleanfill’s current location is directly next to a flood catchment and native trees, on the doorstep of the Remutaka Forest Park and free-roaming Kiwi population. When the cleanfill was proposed in 2010, Miria and the community gathered and were updated on the move. And in Miria’s understanding, they were going to be regularly updated on its progress.

“On Coast Road, we are deemed as affected residents,” Miria says. Now nine years later, she says the community and those directly impacted have not been communicated with. “Because the Council claim they had ‘no complaints’ they went ahead with a non-notified extension and are now proposing a new resource consent expansion,” she says. The new expansion will be almost double the size of the original cleanfill and is to expand on to more of the floodplain of the Wainuiomata River. Sally-ann and Miria say they were told, and believed there was an independent review of the council processes and the environmental impacts happening and there wasn’t. “We have to think about the future health of the environ-

ment and the river,” Sally-ann says. “My number one concern is the natural environment we live in. “there are another 150 Coast Road rural residents will be affected, who are not deemed as affected “It’s not just us, its all of Wainui. We think this place is paradise. This is why we live here,” Sally-ann says. They aren’t fighting it, they say, they’re asking the important questions. “Where are the tests? How can they put this in without notifying the community?” Sally-ann asks. “We don’t want to be doing this but we feel we have no choice.” A submission for the expanded resource consent is tonight at 5pm so time is “not on their

side”, they say. With the new expansion, there are also estimated to be 300 truck movements, more trucks to be travelling down Wainuiomata Road and Main Road which directly crosses paths with Wainuiomata Primary School’s crossing, Homedale Village, not to mention more trucks on the road. It means a truck every two minutes travelling through the Homedale area, the women say. “We understand cleanfill is important but it was only meant to be in Wainui for six years,” Sally-ann says. Sally-ann and Miria will be holding a community meeting on August 26 at Wainuomata Primary School at 7pm to discuss the cleanfill issues.

Wainuiomata Primary School students and staff wore green last Friday to show support for the principals’ pay parity campaign. PHOTOS: Megan Connolly. By Megan Connolly

Students at Wainuiomata Primary School dressed in green on Friday in support of their principal in her fight for pay parity. Organised by the NZEI Te Riu Roa, teachers and students were asked to stand up alongside their principals. Primary and intermediate principals who are NZEI Te Riu Roa members rejected a collective agreement offer from the Ministry of Education in June that failed to give them parity with secondary principals. Since the beginning of July, they have been undertaking strike action that has seen them disengage from the Ministry of Education.

Wainuiomata Primary School principal Allison Burdon is very passionate about supporting all schools including small-town schools. “It’s about getting people into the profession. It’s particularly hard to staff schools such as small rural schools,” Allison says. “In some circumstances, a deputy principal can get paid more than a principal of a smaller school.” “We also want to reduce teacher and principal workload, and get the help and support our students need, when they need it. “I really appreciate the support today from students, teachers, support staff and the community,” Allison says. Allison has been the principal

at the school since 2015 but also happens to be an ex-student of the school, attending in her primary years. “It’s a really special school here.”

The principals will meet at a series of paid union meetings this week to decide whether to accept the latest offer from the Ministry of Education or to escalate industrial action.

On Monday morning, Wellington City Mission opened relief housing at Britannia in Petone for those who are sleeping rough throughout Hutt City. Originally used by Te Omanga and Hospice, the 19-bedroom house became available to Wellington City Misson eight weeks ago and they intend to run the house for the next six years. There are approximately 20 people Hutt City wide who are rough sleeping this winter, former Wainuiomata resident and city missioner Murray Edridge says. Britannia House will enable The Mission, in partnership with a number of other organisations and providers, to provide warm, dry and safe transitional accommodation, along with tailored social support, Murray says.

Art for prison walls Wellington Police District Custody Unit (DCU) is running an art competition to change the prisoner experience and support them to change their behaviours. Winning art entries will be used to cover the hall walls in the cell block. Entries are open to anyone around the country, not just Wellingtonians, with prize money up for grabs. The theme for the art competition is Awhi, which means help and to embrace in Maori. All entries should focus on artwork that makes the custody unit safer for staff by improving the prisoner experience, reducing stress, and breaking down barriers. For more details go to art.competition.wellington@police.govt.nz for more information.

“This initiative comes from the growing and immediate need for us to work together in responding to homelessness in the local community. “Britannia House will not only be a home for those who need shelter, but they will be able to access social, health and reintegration support.” Murray grew up and lived in Wainuiomata for 30 years. “In my heart, ‘Nui is always home. It’s part of who I am. “So it is great to be able to do something that makes a real difference in the community. Without Urban Plus and Urban Development, Ministry of Housing, Scott Gallagher and MSD Funding, we would not have been able to set it up, Wellington City Misson says. “It will be more than just a rood or accommodation it’s about operating as a home, not

Museum adds display from old college By Megan Connolly

Wellbeing spiritual fair Wainuiomata Holistic Wellbeing Spiritual Fair is being held in the War Memorial Hall next Saturday, August 24, from 10 am to 4pm. Tickets are $2m, no EFTPOS available. There will be a variety of exhibitors offering a wide range of products and services including crystals, access bars, healing, massage, jewellery, personal readings and mediums.

signage and TV with a reel of old school photos, with names, from each year. Gavin talked with an old principal of the school Peter Rollinson who donated some display items. “You can go through the photos year by year,” Gavin says. Wa i n u i o m a t a C o l l e g e opened in 1963 initially with a third form (year 9) of 96 students and seven staff. The College remained vacant and suffered damage by arson in 2010 but the hall is continued to be used by the Wainuiomata Little Theatre. “I think it is a useful addition to the museum now that the college is gone,” Gavin says. There are even items from Parkway College in there too,

which opened in 1972. Eventually, with declining rolls, the colleges merged into Wainuiomata High School on the Parkway site in 2002. Gavin says the display is perfect for anyone who is interested in some recent history of the region and might appeal to some of the older people who attended the colleges when they first opened. “Hopefully we can get a bit more to add to it,” he says. “It can be anything. You never know what’s around.” The Historical Museum on Main Road is open every Sunday from 2pm to 4pm. If you have something that may be perfect for the display, contact Gavin on Gavin Wallace wainuimuseum@gmail. com.

readers have their say... Find out the WORD on the Street. Question: Do you prefer reading hardcopy books or ebooks?

Chris Bishop “I prefer ebooks because they are more portable when travelling.”

Dawn McKinley “I prefer to read ebooks as the backlight on my Kindle means I don’t disturb my husband when I read late into the night.”

Jan Everest “I like hardcopy books, real books. I like turning the pages myself.”

Justin Ford “Old school books — it’s how I prefer to write letters too. I’m just old school like that.”

Kelly Manuel “I read hardcopy fantasy books. But ebooks are good for night shifts, you can just put it on your phone and bring it with you.”

Wynton Watson “I prefer ebooks because on long trips, instead of annoying some with turning pages, it’s just on a screen.”

Dieters’ Disaster Dear Editor, I ate some rubbish foods today — instead of 5 veges and meat. Went out to dine buffet-style sampling ‘all you can eat’. Not for me the healthy choice-salads or low-calorie dish, I fancied all the fatty foods with chips and battered fish. The dessert section tempted me and there I had my fill — Chocolate eclair and mousse, ice

cream, jelly, gateau- but still I finished off the meal with crackers, cheese and coffee — Had to have a special treat, chocolate and salted toffee. I staggered home with a stomach feeling queasy Had to take a little nap and take things very easy! A few hours passed and once againmy thoughts turned to food. What can I eat to satisfy my present

hungry mood I’ll have some dip and chippies, a slice of cake to follow, Such a greedy person am I , this fact is hard to swallow! Help! My diet-sheet I’ve lost, I really am pathetic — I have no wish to be obese or be a diabetic!!! -A-Non-E-Mouse Name and address supplied

Radio waves over Wainui By Megan Connolly

After a short absence, the radio station running out of Tihei Rangatahi Centre is back with new hosts and a new lease on life for Rangatahi Hour. Every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 3.45 to 4.45, tune into 87.9 to listen to local rangatahi Tau Sa’u and Mary Toka, along with special guests and other volunteers, bring you weather updates and what’s going on in the community. This term there is a dedicated crew working on the Rangatahi Hour show including12-year-old Tau. “I like it because I talk a lot,” he laughs. “Before I started I always wondered what it was like to be on the radio “What was most surprising was the number of people that tune in and the hardest part would be having things to talk about with our special guests. Tihei Rangatahi staff Jordyn Heremia assists

the Radio Rangatahi by working the sound, the computer and guiding the hosts through the planning template of each show. “It’s about building confidence and experience with radio,” Jordyn says. “It’s promoting Wainui for Wainui and it’s all local kids aged 8 to 12.” Currently, Jordyn is the only one to run the radio but Tihei Rangatahi is looking for a helpful volunteer who can be in charge of running and working with the youngsters on the radio. Jordyn explains the ideal person will be able to come into the radio each week and generate playlists, produce a structured show and gain first-hand experience working with the equipment. “We’ve got big plans. We’re hoping to expand the radio but we’re not giving too much away. Keep an eye out,” Jordyn says. The signal for the station cuts off at the top of the Wainuiomata hill.

Hitting the local airwaves every Tuesday to Thursday afternoon are Tau Sa'u and Mary Soka who host the Tihei Rangatahi run radio. Tune into 87.9 between 3.45 and 4.45 to catch them. PHOTO: Megan Connolly

Guitar Heroes By Megan Connolly

Sometimes all you need is a wet Saturday afternoon, an Xbox, and a couple of guitar heroes to have a serious rock concert. Each Saturday from 2pm to 4pm at the Com munity Hub Libra r y teenagers are invited to have a go at various Xbox games and challenge each other in the process. Open to anyone aged 13 and up, this week’s Xbox Challenge was the classic game Guitar Hero brought in by kaitiaki Amanda Dickson. “It’s quite good for hand-eye coordination and it’s good fun for all ages,” Amanda says.

“It’s great because it’s nice and chill. You can just hang out, watch or play.” Guitar Hero was originally released in 2005. The game involves players using a guitar-shaped controller into which they have to press right “chords” while they strum their guitar in time with the song on the screen. One young player, Noah Krammer, says he had a lot of fun giving Guitar Hero a go for the fi rst time. “It’s really hard but I had fun,” he says. Each weekend it is a different game. This Saturday it will be a game called Portal. It was a rock concert for Brody Thomas (7) and Noah Krammer (10) at the Guitar Hero Xbox Challenge.

On Monday August 12, students from Fernlea School in Rooms 10, 9, 6, and 5 went tree planting, water testing and for a bushwalk at the Wainuiomata Dam. When all the groups were in the right place we went to the bus. When all

the groups were on the buses we headed to the Wainui dam. We got to do tree planting with Ranger Ricky. We were planting plants in the wetlands to help bring more birds to the area. Micheline helped us to learn about the different animals that are in the stream and which ones to look for that let us know the water was clean.

Jo taught us about the different types of trees and leaves when we went on one of the bush walks. Sadly we only got to do two of the activities because sadly the rain started pelting down and we had to go back to school early. We would like to thank Ranger Ricky, Micheline and Jo for teaching us about planting and giving up their time to teach us.

World Cup worries intensify The All Blacks are not winning the World Cup. At least not on that performance last Saturday. The Scott Barrett red card was fair enough, you can’t make contact with the head but there’s a bigger picture as to why the All Blacks lost. There was no cohesion, the

men in black were out-passioned, out-muscled and out-thought. If coach Steve Hansen has something up his sleeve, now would be the time to show it. Rugby commentator Grant Nisbett called the 47-26 defeat as a hiding and it was. The All Blacks don’t look menacing in the forwards and they

look rudderless in attack. The Richie Mo’unga and Beauden Barrett experiment is not working. Captain Kieran Read said defensively his team was poor as was the discipline. It appears Hansen and Co, which includes the supposed next coach Ian Foster, may have taken this

team as far as they can. A loss like that can only do the coaching aspirations of Crusaders’ head honcho, Scott Robertson’s stocks, the world of good. The whole balance of the team looks off-kilter and the efforts to patch up the shortcomings don’t appear to be working. Ben Smith is wasted on the wing

and Read, while improved, is well short of his best. It’s been a golden era of rugby in this country for more than a decade but it looks like the gloss is going away. If the All Blacks aren’t careful, the Bledisloe Cup may go as well on Saturday at Eden Park.

Rugby League juniors season roundup The Wainuiomata Rugby League Junior Club concluded a successful season with their prize-giving last Friday August 9. The junior club had seven teams in 2019, with over 100 junior players and 20 volunteer support personnel. The club was successful in securing hosting rights twice to host all Wellington Rugby League junior teams at Wise Park. This saw the arrival of clubs from as far as Otaki, with over 400 young players and their families each time. This year, 13 players have made Hutt Valley representative sides. The club also expects a similar number to travel to the New Zealand Maori Rugby League tournament in September. The following people took away the major club awards: Club Minis MVP Tua ropa k i Toko-Ropata Club Mods MVP Paige Tauaneai and TJ Tanoai Club Junior MVP Jessica Patea Club Junior Manager Michelle Patea and Tabz Samu Club Junior Coach Jimmy Samu

Harriers race at national event One of the country’s most highly contested running events was held in Upper Hutt last weekend, and Wainuiomata Harriers had several athletes competing. The national event has changed over the years and now accommodates club athletes, allowing them to enter into the same races as our country’s top athletes. This year’s New Zealand cross country championships were held at Harcourt Park in Upper Hutt with athletes travelling from around the country to contest the event and finding themselves tackling a tough but fast course. Wainuiomata Harriers had eight athletes competing, including Cameron Forsyth who was selected to run for the Wellington team. There was also a community fun run event,

which was free to enter and attracted many local runners, including two local harriers own. The day was a fantastic, still, warm day. Perfect conditions for racing. Being a great spectator course has its advantages for the runners as they are cheered on by team-mates and locals to get them through an enjoyable but challenging course.
