Wayne stung on honey By Megan Connolly

Coast Road resident Wayne Wild has been a hobbyist beekeeper for 34 years. Currently, Wayne has 30 hives of all different sizes scattered across his land. “I like it because it is a solitary hobby and varies all the time,” he says. There are many great things about beekeeping, he says, but his favourite would be seeing a nice healthy productive hive. “As a beekeeper, you’re going to get stung but you do get used to it,” Wayne laughs. Continued on page 2. Local resident Wayne Wild has a passion for bees and has been a hobbiest beekeeper for over 30 years. PHOTO: Megan Connolly

The beekeeping buzz Continued from page 1. Wayne came to beekeeping completely by accident but since his first hive all those years ago he has learnt a lot. “I went for a cuppa next door when I first bought this house and the lady next door said: ‘What are you going to put on your land?’,” Wayne says. “I wasn’t sure so I said sheep. Then she asked if I’d like some bees.” Next thing Wayne knew he was walking out to find an overturned hive in the middle of a swamp and relocated it in his field. Perhaps beekeeping was always meant to be Wayne’s hobby because a series of events then had him meet someone who would help set up his hive and gift him a queen bee to get started. “The man who delivered my sheep happened to have a queen, helped me fix up the hive and took me along to my first Wellington Beekeepers Association meeting,” Wayne says. “Everything fell into place as if I was always meant to have bees.” Things have changed a lot over the years including beekeeping methods and ways to

treat bees for the Varroa mite which attacks and feeds on them. “I didn’t know anything when I first started so it was easier then,” he laughs. Now Wayne breeds queens, mentors and workshops new beekeepers, helps wax dip hive boxes and creates new tools. But what appeals to Wayne the most is the variety of activi-

ties you do in while beekeeping. “In winter you’re doing more woodwork and painting. In spring you’re queen rearing and you’re quite busy. By February, you’re removing the honey. “You do lots of different things so you don’t get bored. Some people get bees and don’t realise how much there is to

it,” he says. Wayne sells his honey each year as a means to pay for his hobby, he says. “I get a lot of manuka in my honey so it’s very dark.” Wayne’s advice for any aspiring beekeepers is to go along to a Wellington Beekeepers’ Association meeting to learn and check out some hives before you get started.

Cleanfill concerns addressed The Cleanfill at Wainuiomata, owned by Hutt City Council and managed by an operator under contract, is currently compliant with a checking process in place, Hutt City Council spokesperson Helen Oram, says. “It is being checked regularly by our compliance officers with the most recent visit on July 25. Greater Wellington Regional Council officers also undertake regular inspections,” she says. “As part of the conditions of granting the consent, all loads to the cleanfill are to be from customers approved by the

operator. If not-cleanfill material is found it is required to be removed. “There are measures in place on-site to ensure that contaminants do not enter the waterway or the soil. For example, there is sediment control via a bund to ensure run-off does not end up in the water,” Helen says. The maximum volume permitted in the cleanfill was not achieved within the first six years of operation since the original consent issued in 2011. An extension of time was applied for in 2017 to continue the

previously consented operation for 10 years. “Since then the rate of housing construction has increased and the volume initially consented has almost been reached,” Helen adds. In granting the extension to the consent, a number of issues were considered by the planner, and independent experts to determine what the level of effects were. These were all found to be “less than minor”. In March 2019 a new consent was lodged for Stage 3 of the

Kia ora to the Community of Wainuiomata & Hutt Valley

cleanfill. Helen continues: “The Wainuiomata cleanfill has a limited life and as such the proposed resource consent application is seeking a maximum of 2.5 years of operation. “The council’s solid waste department will be looking for a new site for a replacement cleanfill, as the facility is nearing its capacity,” she says. When the cleanfill is full it will be planted and turned into a reserve. Ideas for this will be sought from the Wainuiomata community.

Locals find eco-fashion success Local fashion designers were shining brightly on the runway at the opening event of Hutt Winter Festival and Eco Fashion Runway Show last Thursday night at the Lower Hutt Town Hall with an audience of over 400. This runway event was a showcase of eco, ethical, up-cycled and recycled fashion, from high-end fashion to everyday casual looks and everything in between. The Bernina Up-cycled Challenge Competition featured 38 garments made by students and home sewers over four categories, including the use of recycled denim, discarded t-shirts and reused men’s business shirts. Several locals took part in the competition, including Michele Taylor who won the overall prize sponsored by Bernina and walked away with a Bernina overlocker presented by managing director of Bernina Glyn Singleton. Michele’s winning garment was a stunning denim ensemble made from recycled jeans with heavy red topstitching and red and white paisley patterned fabric to create stunning contrast. Local winner Gaylene Pluck took out the Avant-Garde section with her dress constructed from business shirt fabric covered in waste threads and fabric off-cuts generated at Kereru Creative in Homedale Village and fused with heavy stitching and water-soluble paper. Local Lea Fagalilo was one of four emerging designers who won recognition for their collections presented on the night.

a nightmare. What resulted was a spooky dark song about a dead son returning to a haunted house to see his grandmother and eat his favourite meal, Fish Toe Slice. Percussion on the song was even done by the youngsters. There couldn’t be three songs more different in style because the end of the third hour was a reggae rap written and featuring Tau Sa’u himself. This show has been touring Community Hubs for Hutt

As part of the Hutt Winter Festival, Wellington band The Undercuts, bought their show to the Wainuiomata Community Hub on Friday night and created songs based on audience suggestions and participation each hour. Luckily there were several local youngsters to serve up strange and wacky ideas based around each hour’s set of suggestions with the band director, Liam Kelly, saying

The last Community Board meeting for the triennium will be tonight, August 21, at the Wainuiomata Community Hub Library at 7pm. They will discuss some topics that have been of public interest for the past few weeks, including the Cleanfill and the water extraction.

“By the end of the hour we record something no matter how good or bad it is.” The first hour’s song had an 80s synth vibe and was born from a character which the participating audience decided was named Jacqui (with a Q) who owned a ski resort and wasn’t a very nice person. The second hour switched tone completely when Liam asked audience member, Tau Sa’u, to describe his dream, which turned out more to be

Winter Fest and was featured in last year’s Wellington Fringe Festival. If you would like to listen to what the Undercuts and Wainuiomata youngsters created over three hours, the songs are available for free listening on theundercuts.bandcamp.com/ album /nature-and-cheapparking. Original songs recorded in Wainuiomata are named Jacqui (with a Q), Fish Toe Slice and Tribute to Tau (feat. Tau Sa’u).

Walking into the Community Hub Library might feel a bit strange initially because what you’d expect to find has moved as a way to open up the Hub space. Now you will find all the books, including the young adult section, have been relocated up the far end of the library, while the front has been opened out and turned more into a hub area. Hub manager Langi Moananu

says they have been wanting to rearrange the library for quite some time and by having the Live-Action Mural in the library last week was the perfect opportunity. “It just makes the space more flexible for what we want to do,” she says. The newspapers have also be moved to a wall in the library section and children’s area has also been opened out. What do you think of the new opened out area?

The Wainuiomata Community Hub Library looks as good as new thanks to a new layout and shuffle around which creates more space for activities. PHOTO: Megan Connolly

Superheroes arrive at Pukeatua By Megan Connolly

Is it Batman? Is it Superman? No, it’s the superheroes of Pukeatua Primary School! Last Wednesday the primary school held a dress up as superheroes to fundraise for their school camp that at Brookfield Outdoor Education Centre in November. The camp will be for three days and take students from years 5 to 8. With all of the activities,

games and challenges there will be a superhero element or theme. This is the first time Pukeatua Primary will be taking pupils to camp after a gap of some years. It also happens to be the first time that families who several children listed to attend, will only have to pay for one child. The rest will be covered by the school, teacher Mark Williams says. “Families pay for one child and the school will pay for the

rest,” he adds. The superhero day raised $114 towards their camp. Pukeatua Primary has lots of other fundraising events in store for students to get behind, including cake sales, more superhero days, and for the families, a quiz night on September 20 with $10 tickets. Don’t be surprised if you see mini superheroes running around in Wainuiomata saving the day.

readers have their say... Find out the WORD on the Street. Question: How do you handle stress?

Brock Kilburn “Go for a walk for have a drink of water. Just take my mind off things.”

Cerie Milovale “I drink lots of water. I do the work and reward myself afterwards – have some me time.”

Elijah Hailwood “I just find things to distract me like going to the gym.”

Kyle Benecke “I just watch rugby videos – it keeps me relaxed.”

Sefo Soanai “I keep studying, If I take a break I’ll get more stressed. Selfmotivation.”

Tanaya Henderson “I handle stress by keeping busy. I work 16-20 hours, study, train or spend time with my niece.”

Enliven volunteers given rising star status Woburn Home based buddy programme Enliven Connect has received a Rising Star Award for its efforts supporting people with dementia and offsetting loneliness amongst elders in the community. The programme was recognised at the Wellington Airport Regional Community Awards recently in the Hutt City category. The Rising Star Award follows Enliven Connect’s previous win at the Presbyterian Support Central Quality and Innovation Awards under the category of community connection. Enliven Connect programme coordinator Jo Rea has led the project since its inception in 2018. Winning awards wasn’t on the agenda, she said. “We wanted to fill a gap in the system where

people in the early stages of dementia weren’t able to access the social opportunities they were looking for. “It started out as a thought and I credit Enliven for letting us run with the idea and giving us a base at their Woburn Home.” The programme has been extended to include participants who are experiencing significant social isolation. The volunteers also benefit, Jo says. “The volunteers help the community members to decide what they would like to do and how they can assist them. “In turn our volunteers feel valued, supported and keen to give back to the community, whilst making new friends along the way.” Some volunteers have supported people they know with dementia. Others may have

a background or interest in the health sector. “All of them are incredibly committed and bring invaluable skills, knowledge and life experience which has grown the programme into the success it is today.” In 2019, Hutt City Council provided $15,000 to recruit and train volunteers, with the aim of providing comfort and fellowship for elders experiencing social isolation, early stage dementia or other cognitive impairment. An additional $5,000 was given by the Office for Seniors – part of the Ministry of Social Development – to continue and grow the programme. Enliven Connect will compete against other regional winners at an awards dinner on November 21 to be held at Te Papa Museum. Enliven Connect is now recruiting passionate

This is a place for non-polluting material like concrete and dirt. With all the new dwellings being built across Lower Hutt, construction companies need somewhere to put this material. Our regulatory team has raised some minor issues with the operator of the cleanfill, but these are more to do with who had access to the site, than any environmental concerns. Over the next two years we will be looking at options as the cleanfill nears capacity. When full it will be converted into a reserve and ideas for this will be welcomed from the community. I’ve been thrilled to see so many walkers and cyclists using Te Hikoi Ararewa (the Wainuiomata Hill Shared Path). It’s getting great use at all times of the day. On the next fine weekend my family and I have set ourselves a goal to walk the path together.

Live-Action mural making By Megan Connolly

It was colourful, calm mayhem at the final day of the Resene Live-Action Mural event in the Community Hub Library last Thursday afternoon. Local artists Tina Rae Carter and Ruth Robertson helped keen tamariki add to their murals over four days, using a variety of different colours, paint brushes and stencils. The murals will go to the Dowse Art Museum where they will be finished and on display at the Hutt Winter Festival, Final Fantastic Festivities on Saturday, August 17. Tina’s artwork is based on a cicada coming out of the earth after many years underground. “They deserve our respect, a fascinating annoyance. They’re so beautiful,” Tina says. Ruth’s work, which was what was mainly worked on by the youngsters with stencils, involves the titipounamu bird some of which were recently relocated from Wainuiomata to Zealandia. Resene Paints supplied brand new tools, floor coverings and paint which will be reused for future murals organised by the Hutt City Council.

Larissa Clayton trades the paint brush for a roller.

Sapphire Kerehoma adds to the mural with a stencil.

Daffodil Day

Advertising Feature

Friday 30th August

Supporting Daffodil Day

“

The Cancer Society’s Daffodil Day has been running since 1990, and the event is now well known that few of us can look at a bunch of daffodils without associating it with the society’s work. Donations made towards Daffodil Day (being held on Friday August 30) enable a wide range of support services, education and programmes for people affected by cancer in this area – and nationwide. You can donate on the day at one of the many collection points across Lower Hutt situated at supermarkets on street corners.

Real generosity is doing something nice for someone who will never find out.

”

Or if you would like to host your own daffodil ‘Yellow day’ go to paintaugustyellow.org. nz to register your fundraiser. The donations you make will also support the vital scientific research being done into the causes and treatment of all types of cancer. On the day you can buy daffodils from the society’s stalls, or donate to the volunteer street collectors (on their feet for hours at a time to support the cause!). Or you can buy Cancer Society merchandise at any time. There is also the option of making a donation by phone or online.

SPORT Sports talk

with Jacob Page

Ruthlessness the key in all areas for ABs The All Blacks are not winning Is everything all right with the All Blacks after Saturday night? Like beauty, that’s in the eye of the beholder. It was certainly a refreshingly ruthless 36-0 onslaught led by a mix of youth, Sevu Reece and George Bridge, and renewed performances from experienced players like Aaron Smith and Kieran Read. The captain has now put in two quality performances in a row.

No longer is he just a guy along for the ride. Coach Steve Hansen can have a level of vindication in the sense that his gamble on finding the right mix of youth and experience, paid off at Eden Park. However, make no mistake, the Wallabies are an average team, ranked sixth in the world, that the All Blacks made look like world-beaters in Perth. Keeping the Bledisloe Cup for the 17th consecutive year was

important because it’s a warning shot to the rest of the world but the men in black will face much sterner opposition in the World Cup in Japan. A three-peat of world titles still seems a long shot but for those who still believe, Saturday night will be all the encouragement they needed. The opening pool game against the Springboks is a mouth-watering litmus test for a team still grasping for their identity

- something which has not been an issue so close to previous successful campaigns. Chopping and changing selections in World Cup year has never proven to be a successful approach. Need we remember Leon MacDonald at centre and kicking goals in 2003? Tough calls will need to be made but veterans don’t deserve the right to keep their place based on past triumphs.

The reason the All Black jersey has been so successful for decades has been, in part, because it has never had room for sentimental selections. Perform or move on. Tough but fair. It’s the only approach that will give them any chance in Japan. Don’t sleep on Liam Squire either. He can force his way into the 31-strong squad and be a big difference maker if he wants to be.

Ulalei teams into grand final By Lahraine Sagaga

Ulalei Pua won their semi-final game against Upper Hutt Maidstone (1) by 5246 earning them a well-deserved place in the Premier 1 netball Grand Final. Pua had a dominant season displaying their class, talent and wealth of top-level netball experience in the Premier 1 league in 2019. Ulalei Wainuiomata Netball Club is entering unchartered waters, as this is the first time in the club’s history it has played in the Premier 1 Grand Final. Pua plays Naenae Collegians United (1). Both teams have met three times this season with Ulalei Pua taking two out of the three victories. Pua will want to avenge their earlier quarter-final loss to NNCU. The Grand Final will be played on Saturday at 2pm at Walter Nash Stadium. Ulalei Fuesina played COG 3 for the third time this season to secure a spot in the Senior 1 Grand Final. The team played a new combination with the defensive unit of Kathrine Taituave, Melesete Sagaga and Brooke Cowpland, while Tiana Weepu moved to wing attack to team up with Tahaani Hepi to provide solid feeds into the accurate shooting duo of Bree Itula and Montana Hepi. The first quarter was even with both teams tied at 8-all. Fuesina won the second quarter and took a half time lead of two goals. This

was a result of excellent turnover ball and rebounds from the defensive unit, with both attack and defence working together moving the ball down the court with ease. The third quarter also known as the “Championship” quarter, was tight with Ulalei Fuesina winning by only one goal to extend their lead by 24 – 21. Motivational talk from captain Tahaani Hepi to her team was needed, saying: “We need to work extra hard in this last quarter to maintain the lead and win this game.” Ulalei Fuesina changed gear in the final quarter by sticking to the basics and ensured they executed the game plan – reducing their errors and looking after the ball. The defensive unit continued to make life difficult for COG shooters and created a crucial turnover ball. Ulalei Fuesina went on to win the final quarter by three goals and taking out the semi-final 35 – 29. Fuesina fought hard in the semi-final winning most of the quarters. Ulalei Fuesina remained composed in the last five minutes maintaining their lead, resulting in a semi-final victory and a well-deserved place in the Senior 1 Grand Final 2019. Fuesina plays Upper Hutt Maidstone Meatballs at 10.30am for the Senior 1 champions title. Ulalei Pua will play NNCU White at 2.00.p.m to see who will be crowned Premier 1 Netball Hutt Valley Champions.

Shelby watching Kaleb went out and blitzed Jas 3-0. (Bring Shelby every week Kaleb) Last up was Kerry Nairn against Nate. Kerry needed to win at least by 3-1 and didn’t disappoint. He took the tough match 3-1 giving Wainui the win 8-7. “Well done to AJ and his Crew,” club spokesperson Karen ‘Kazz’ Galliers says. Teams they had previously battled on the court were Kapiti Men’s, Hutt City Squash, Island Bay ‘The Crayzies’ Martinborough ‘Marty Men’s’ and Wainuiomata’s Finest, Wainui Misfits’.
