Karori Dancer Stars in Mudra Production Continued from page 1.

She feels very fortunate to have the opportunity to learn about her cultural heritage through Indian Dance in New Zealand.

“Dance is a great escape from the life pressures and study. When rehearsing and learning you have to be fully focussed. One of the special things has been forming friendships with girls from my own culture throughout the Wellington region,” Leeshma says.

Leeshma is of Sri Lankan Tamil origin.

She is a graduate of Mudra Dance Academy, and was presented in her solo debut in 2018.

Leeshma has performed with the Mudra Dance Company since 2013.

Leeshma performed major dances in the productions of Katikeya in 2017 and Shakti in 2019. Currently Leeshma is studying a Bachelor of Health majoring in Healthy Psychology at Victoria University in Wellington.

Mudra Dance Company will be working with the Kurinchi Kumaran

Temple to assist them in fundraising for their activities through this performance of Navarasa.

The Temple is situated in Newlands, Wellington and is a valuable institution in preserving and promoting Indian social, cultural and religious values in New Zealand.

Characterized by beauty and charm, Mudra Dance Company is a visual feast of brilliant sari colours, traditional headdresses of braids and flowers, and the sparkle of gorgeous jewellery. Navarasa will excite the audience with fast-moving and emotive dance pieces that showcase the incredible talent of this highly regarded dance company.

Navarasa will be a kaleidoscope of motion, colour, music, mime, and rhythm.

The central piece of this new dance work explores the primal human emotions through the classical Indian dance form, Bharata Natyam.

The show will be on at the Lower Hutt Little Theatre between July 2 and 4.

Amanda gets stuck-in for family legacy

By Jacob Page

Amanda Barber is motivated to improve Khandallah’s Tyer Stream Reserve thanks to her family history.

Amanda has helped form a working group to help tidy up the area.

“As the stream goes down through Khandallah and out through Ngauranga Gorge it’s just thoroughly polluted.

“Residents along Cashmere Avenue have been monitoring the water quality for some time.

“There’s an amount of rubbish and chemicals in the stream and it’s been aggregated by the degrading sewer pipes that crisscross through the reserve.

“My interest is that my Great Great Grandfather Henry Barber

leased land from a land owner who purchased it from the Maori chief Te Wharepouri.”

Te Wharepouri travelled to Wellington from Taranaki in 1832 and controversially sold much of the land in Wellington to the New Zealand Company.

He was a signatory to the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840.

Henry Barber and Alfred Tyer were important in creating the industrial boom in Wellington around the 1870s.

“As an adult I found how to get into the reserve and I was appalled at how overgrown and neglected it was.

The group has formed with the blessing of Wellington City Council.

Council has offered to “blitz” the area to help tidy it up and have

Karori United Tennis Club president Peter Browne has earned a Service to Tennis honour at the Tennis Central Awards last week.

The 81-year-old has been involved at Karori United for 38 years.

“I was involved in the club way back in the early 90s and was elected onto the Wellington Association board until 2007.

The award recognizes the value of volunteers and the significant contribution they make to tennis and the

community, particularly when going over and above the norm for an extended period of time.

“I’m not a great tennis player, I pick up the odd award at mid-week (events) but that’s as far as it goes.

“I have been involved with tennis for a long time since the 1990s so I was very pleased to receive the award.

“It felt like it was my time, you can’t leave it to others.”

Peter was born in Ngaio but settled in Karori in 1983.

“At that stage I was splitting my year between badminton and tennis.

“Often when I’m there the smell can be quite unpleasant.

Going up the steam is a magnificent, pristine area and it has been recognised by the Council as an

ecologically significant area and I think it’s an historically significant area due to Te Wharepouri and the industrial boom.”

Help sought following suspicious fire Police are following lines of inquiry following a suspicious fire on Hanson Street in Wellington on Sunday.

Detective Sergeant Steve Wescott

says several witnesses have come forward, and Police have since seen CCTV footage, which shows two people leaving the address separately shortly after 10.30pm.

On arrival, Police located one injured person outside and were made aware the property was on fire.

Officers have then proceeded to alert occupants of neighbouring

properties to evacuate.

Police staff will remain on site for the next few days as an examination of the scene continues.

Inquiries into this incident are

ongoing and anyone with further information is urged to call 105 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 and quote the file number 210614/4572.

People will also be able to pick up food packages from the “Shar-

ing Shelf’ in the Centre’s foyer.

All the other activities the Linden’s Community Centre offers will also continue as normal.

Wellington planting days a chance to get hands dirty

Wellington planting days aim to see 400,000 new trees planted.

Environmentally-minded folks can get their hands dirty at one of the dozens of planting events the council will host this winter, as part of a programme to green up our region by 400,000 trees.

This impressive feat will not only make the places we live and play look beautiful, but the newly planted trees will also promote biodiversity, prevent soil erosion, remove greenhouse gases and improve water quality.

Councillor Penny Gaylor, Chair of Greater Wellington’s Environment Committee, says planting days come in many shapes and sizes, but all rely on the support of the community.

“This year’s ambitious goal of 400,000 trees builds on a winter

planting tradition at Greater Wellington. Each year we roll up our sleeves and get stuck in planting hundreds of thousands of trees alongside mana whenua, schools, community groups, contractors and volunteers.

“Sausage sizzles and warm drinks are provided at some planting days to keep spirits up. Others are more intimate, where volunteers get to learn from kaitiaki and conservation experts about how to protect our native taonga,” says Cr Gaylor.

The trees will allow a healthier and more resilient region take root, and future generations will reap the rewards.

“It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the scale of the climate emergency we’re faced with. We all want to be

part of the solution. Getting out in the fresh air to do some planting with friends and wKƗQau is a free and fun thing you can do that will have huge environmental benefits not just for us and our tamariki, but for generations to come,” adds Cr Gaylor.

This planting season kicks with a community event at East Harbour Regional Park which will see volunteers planting trees on the banks of the stunning Wainuiomata River.

Dozens more events are planned throughout the region this winter, so communities are encouraged to keep an eye on Greater Wellington’s website and Facebook page where all future events will be advertised: gw.govt.nz/ dirtyhands/

Metlink are looking at ways to resolve public frustration with their inconsistent bus service.

Metlink to look at timetables as bus frustrations continue Public frustration with Wellington’s inconsistent bus services, particularly during peak times, has been acknowledged by Metlink but a solution seems a ways away.

Metlink say they are working with operators to redesign timetables to provide more consistency across the network and reduce unplanned cancellations.

Metlink general manager Scott Gallacher says in the wake of COVID-19 there have been a series of flow-on effects that have impacted some parts of our network - primarily a shortage of bus drivers which can result in unplanned cancellations and create uncertainty for our passengers.

“Contributing to our driver shortage, we have also seen the cost of living in Wellington increase even further, and housing unaffordability gather pace.”

“The Metlink team is aware of the frustrations our customers face with cancellations,

so we’re working to fix this by making amendments to selected bus timetables,” he says..

With the vast majority of services running smoothly across the region, the timetable redesign will focus predominantly on Wellington City services run by Tranzurban and NZ Bus. “We have agreed to a set of timetable changes that will better match staffing numbers to ultimately create a more flexible and reliable network,” says Mr Gallacher.

“We’ve identified there is an opportunity in changing the way our communities are using public transport following COVID-19 that will be reflected in the timetable redesign.

“We will therefore be looking to increase and improve our off peak services so that a number of our communities have more flexibility for their daily commute and better options to plan their off peak travel,” he says.

Choirs earn high praise at Big Sing The Newlands College Northern Notes Choir earned two awards at this year’s Regional Big Sing; The choir earned New Zealand Music Best Performance Certificate for I te Pǀ and a Judicator’s Choice Certificate Performance Award for their overall programme.

Notified did not compete this year and went to learn from the experience and have the opportunity to perform at the Michael Fowler Centre.

Malachi Heath, member of the North-

ern Notes called the experience, “very amazing” and the opportunity to wear his blazer backwards during their rendition of “Revolting Children”, from the musical Matlida, “ironic, because I was the most angelic child there”.

Amy Harrison, singer in the “Notified” choir said of the choir’s effort, “I am very proud of our hard work rehearsing and performing together. The final product, “From Now On” was very moving” Samuel Marsden Collegiate’s Altissime choir won the Rachel Tipping Cup for Category 3 music at the Big Sing.

SPCA holds blanket drive for canines out in the cold SPCA is calling on animal lovers to gather their warmest blankets and dog jackets to donate to four-legged friends this winter.

In a bid to keep canines out of the cold, SPCA will be providing the items to dogs living outside in kennels throughout Wellington.

The campaign kicks off this week, with the animal welfare charity asking the local community to donate any unwanted blankets and dog jackets over the next two weeks.

These will then be distributed to pet owners with outside dogs throughout Wellington and Wairarapa on a first come, first served basis.

SPCA Inspector Elissa McIntosh started the campaign because she wanted to ensure canines living outside in kennels are provided with enough warmth and shelter to keep them happy and healthy.

“Just as you might rug up with a jumper, beanie and scarf in

the wintry weather, your pets need extra protection from winter’s elements as well,” Elissa says.

“I’ve seen first-hand many dogs sleeping outside in kennels and how grateful their owners have been by the simple gesture of receiving a blanket to keep their dog warm. This is one of the ways we want to help these dogs, but also to let pet owners know that SPCA are here to help if they’re struggling.”

SPCA Scientific Officer Dr Alison Vaughan says adequate shelter is essential year-round, but more so during winter.

“If your dog is outside during the day while you’re at work, make sure they have a shelter or kennel that is well insulated and doesn’t have any gaps where drafts may come through,” Alison says, It’s also okay to feed outdoor pets a little extra during the cooler months, because their bodies burn more energy as they try to keep warm.

“Just like humans often comfort eat during winter, it’s okay for these pets to indulge a little more than usual during the chillier months. Just make sure they stick to a healthy diet and aren’t overfed.”

A weekend of celebration for Raroa Intermediate Schools Golden Jubilee got underway with a powhiri welcoming past students, teachers and principals.

Te Rangatahi put on an outstanding performance during the official powhiri and opening ceremony. This was followed by refreshments with an opportunity to visit classrooms to see how students are educated now, compared to when RƗroa Normal Intermediate began.

Current principal of the school Christine Brown was on hand to greet past staff and students.

“It is a great chance for them to get around and see how classes have changed since those early days and a lot of people say the intermediate years are the best years of their schooling,” Christine says.

Later in the day a social meet and greet was held at 1841 Bar and Restaurant, in Johnsonville.

Saturday was also a chance for former students and staff to get together with the school open for tours around the classes and a photo exhibition in the hall.

Photographs of decade groups were taken and followed by a dinner and dance in the RƗroa hall.

GARDENING THIS WEEK Garlic: By Wally Richards Forty five years ago garlic was not the thing it is today.

Back then I found that a clove of garlic would sprout very easily and in a small pot people were very willing to pay a dollar for it.

As garlic became a more used garnish in cooking and likely the invention of garlic bread contributed greatly to the increased use of garlic.

So for many years we happily; on or about the shortest day, popped a few garlic gloves into the soil of a fertile garden and 6 months later we would harvest big garlic bulbs with fat juicy cloves.

That was till about 3 years ago when a dreaded rust that infects the Amaryllidaceae family (onions, shallots, leeks, garlic etc appeared).

It is garlic in the onion genus Allium that is most adversely affected.

The garlic would grow ok and nice green sprouts would reach upwards to gain energy from the sun as the plant established its root system.

The bulb would start to form later on and about that time blotches of yellow would start to appear on the foliage followed by the rust postules.

As we all know, the green of the leaves is the chloroform where the photosynthesis takes place, converting sunlight to carbohydrates (energy) to aid the growth of the plant.

The more leaves and the bigger the leaves, the more energy can be gained.

When we reduce the amount of leaves we reduce the growth of the plant.

If a disease affects the leaves such as yellowing, rust, black spot etc then we have affected the growth.

In the case of garlic the plant will produce an inferior bulb much smaller that what its potential size should be.

The later in the season when the rust occurs the bigger will be the bulb size you get when you harvest.

If you are fortunate and the crop does not get the disease then you should with adequate food and moisture obtain good size bulbs and cloves.

Alas for many that is not the case and some have decided that after a couple of unsuccessful seasons to give up in despair.

Bit like the psyllid affecting tomatoes and potatoes if you have the problem and the crop is no good why bother?

Fortunately keen gardeners will battle on and try all sorts of methods to overcome the problem and when we are successful in doing so; that is our reward.

Even if only partially successful it is a great feeling of achievement, winning against all odds.

Once I realised that rust was a problem a couple or so seasons ago I went all out in trying and suggesting controls such as potassium permanganate, sulphur, Wallys Liquid Copper and Vaporgard which appeared to help but not the end all to full success.

Last autumn I talked to the NZ supplier of the Australian Nutritech products and asked his advise.

I was told that some commercial growers were obtaining a degree of success by using silica rich products which are the same ones that we use to overcome the tomato psyllid problem.

I did this last season by applying the silica and boron soil drench after planting time when the green shoots appeared and again about a month later.

(When shoots are up then the clove has a root system so the silica is taken up through the roots).

With the green shoots showing the Silica Cell Strengthening spray is used with the Silica Super Spreader to drive the former into the foliage.

This is to be done weekly as a spray.

I did that and was obtaining good clean foliage with no sign of rust and the bulbs were filling out when my spray program got interrupted.

After that rust attacked but having got the bulbs to a reasonable size I was happy.

The problem of course is I can only assume the silica treatments worked while I used them and that the previous season the garlic had been a disaster from much earlier on.

One of the aspects with the sprays is that the spreader is only used at 1ml to 5 litres of spray and even though it is in a 100ml bottle that is sufficient to make up 500 litres of Cell Strengthening spray for use on garlic and tomatoes, potatoes etc.

So I have decided to combine the two sprays into a 500ml bottle of concentrate which you can use at 5mls per litre of water.

Made up it will keep in the shed out of sunlight in a trigger spray bottle so you can grab it every week and spray the tops till harvest time.

So prepared your bed for planting your garlic making sure there is ample goodness using manure, BioPhos and Wallys Ocean Solids.

Then plant your cloves, when they sprout apply the silicon and boron soil drench to the moist soil.

Mix up the combined Silicon cell Strengthening Spray that has the Silicon Super Spreader at 5ml per litre and spray the foliage weekly.

If you have the cell strengthening kit from last season that was used for tomatoes etc you already have the products for using on the garlic

this season.

One month after they have sprouted apply a second application of the Silicon and Boron Soil drench. That is the last time for that product as too much boron can cause toxicity.

Keep the weekly spray treatment going and cross your fingers.

The silicon treatment makes for bigger leaves which should also help to obtain bigger cloves gaining more energy from the sun.

I am considering also using the same treatment for curly leaf in stone fruit as years ago I was selling another product from Australia that we called DE being silicon rich.

I found out later on that some gardeners had used it on their stone fruit trees in the being on the season while the leaves were developing to good results.

Johnsonville spirited against Wainuiomata in Swindale Shield

By Jacob Page

Johnsonville was better but eventually Wainuiomata prevailed 33-24 in the Swindale Shield rugby encounter at William Jones Park on Saturday.

Johnsonville suffered a blow before kick-off with captain Andrew Ellis coming up lame minutes before the first whistle.

Johnsonville fell behind thanks to two early tries but were good enough to battle back to only trail 14-10 at halftime.

Unfortunately, two more Wainuiomata tries shortly after the resumption put the game beyond doubt.

Johnsonville coach Jason Adamson says the disruption pre-game

was less than ideal but he felt his team stuck to the task better than previous weeks.

“We played well for about 35 minutes.

“Our scrum was dominant but our line out had some struggles.

“The game was there but we bombed about four tries which you just can’t do at this level of rugby.”

First-five Oliver Paotonu, No 8 Ofa Ueseli and prop Mike Faimalo each scored for Johnsonville.

In what was a novelty, lock Andy’s Roebeck took the goal kicking duties, landing three conversions and a penalty.

Johnsonville will hit the road again to play Poneke on Saturday, a team which sits just one point ahead of them on the competition ladder.

Onslow trio make Ultimate squad Onslow College students Ben Stiggers, Henry Zaslow and Sam Cooper have been selected to the New Zealand Under-20 National Ultimate (ultimate frisbee) Training Squads.

These squads will train over four training camps between now and January, developing their

physical, technical, tactical and mental skills.

With the opportunities for international competition currently impacted by the global pandemic, there is plenty of uncertainty around the events this squad may be involved in, however New Zealand Ultimate will continue

to form plans around a possible trans-Tasman event in December 2021 and will continue to investigate the possibility of competing at the 2022 World Junior Ultimate Championships due to be held in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic in August next year.

SPORTS TALK With Jacob Page

Selectors must spin into action To play a spinner or not to play, that is the question.

If you had said to me a month ago New Zealand would have to play a frontline spinner in the World Test Championship final against India, I would have laughed.

However, I think Ajaz Patel must now be picked which leaves Colin de Grandhomme on the outer for me.

Patel has proven he can take wickets early in a test in England and on a pitch which is predicted to turn, he could be an under the radar key to victory.

His inclusion hurts the batting stocks.

I’d have Kyle Jamieson bat at No 7 and back our top order to score the runs needed.

An argument could be made to

play de Grandhomme instead of either Jamieson or Tim Southee but leaving one of those speakers out seems unwarranted.

The continual fear is they will pick the underperforming Mitchell Santner but I don’t see room in the team for him with either bat or ball.

The key will be to take 20 Indian wickets when they will potentially be under-done in English condi-

tions.

The Black Caps should be full of confidence after beating England in the second test and claiming a rare series victory on English soil.

Yes, it was only two tests but that’s all the ICC seem to allocate us.

There has not been many times where New Zealand has had the depth to play 17 players across two tests and walk away victorious so

these are truly giddy times.

There will be many Kiwi cricket tragics pulling all-nighters over the next few days.

If you work alongside one, be patient, they’ll potentially be emotionally unstable and sleep-deprived which is never a great combination.

It will be a fascinating game, well worth the lack of sleep.

North Wellington cause an upset

By Grant Stephen

The deck chairs were rearranged in Round 11 of 18 in the Men’s Central Football league but in reality there was little change in the overall standings for promotion/relegation at the end of the season.

One game in particular did challenge popular opinion though when North Wellington FC travelled to Wakefield Park for the late kick off against unbeaten league leaders, Wellington Olympic.

The two sides had drawn 3-3 in the opening round of the competition but based on recent form, the outcome of this latest game had already been decided before kickoff according to those who know these things. However Norths had not read the script and proceeded to enjoy a very satisfying 3-2 win much to the delight of the North Wellington faithful who had endured the slow trip across town.

Dylan Wood put Olympic on the board after just 12 minutes but Ahmed Othman equalised just three minutes later to make it 1 all. Ten minutes before the half time break Jesse Randall made it 2-1 to Norths after a reasonably simple tap in from a well worked team move.

Jack-Henry Sinclair squared things up for Olympic once more with a well taken free kick that bounced awkwardly for Keeper Nick Stanton to make it 2 a piece at the 53 minute mark.

The game was well and truly deadlocked with either side capable of winning without doubt at any time. The athleticism and fitness of both teams made for a great spectacle and it was hard to fathom how both sides could maintain such a physically demanding and technically competent game of football. The more that time wore on though, the more Norths looked in control of the match. They had more chances more often and looked the most likely to score. And score they did eventually when Cam Mackenzie pushed the winner wide of Olympic Keeper Scott Basalaj in the 88th minute after yet another well worked and patient build up down the left flank.

In other matches in the round, Miramar Rangers were too strong on the road and won 4-1 against Waterside Karori.

Petone had a narrow 1-0 loss at home go-

ing down 1-0 to Wairarapa United and Lower Hutt maintained their recent strong form with a 4-1 win over Western Suburbs.

Napier City Rovers completed the round with a comfortable 5-0 at home over visitors, Wainuiomata.

Miramar have now grabbed back top spot and have accumulated 27 points with Wellington Olympic

on 26 and Lower Hutt on 25 to round off the top three sides.

Wainuiomata remain the most likely to be relegated and have yet to record a win. Petone have a 6 point buffer in 9th place and North Wellington remain in 8th spot on 12 points. The log jam remains in the middle with the best of the rest all sitting between

14 and 17 points.

The league takes a break this week due to Chatham Cup matches. Many local teams are still in the hunt to progress to the next round of the national knock out competition. North Wellington are on the road again to face Miramar Rangers at David Farrington Park while Waterside

Karori will be hosting Stop Out. In the Women’s Premier League, The Innkeeper North Wellington team are enjoying the view from the top on 20 points after 8 rounds, thanks to a 2-1 win over Brooklyn Northern United. They have a 3 point lead over Wellington United who went down to Kapiti Coast United 2-1.
