Greg blitzes Ohariu

By Glenise Dreaver and Jacob Page

“I reckon I might have got it tonight.”

A cautious Greg O’Connor, Labour MP for Ohariu, didn’t make that call until a little over halfway to his election night total of 19,580 electorate votes.

Son Isaac overheard the comment that he thought he might just have seen the beginnings of a smile on the old man’s face. “Possibly.”

He was one of at least a dozen members of the close O’Connor clan, gathered from all over the country.

O’Connor in the mix for ministerial role after big win Continued from page 1.

The only candidate in New Zealand who chose not to be on a party list, Greg’s political career would have ended on Saturday if Ohariu had not returned him.

Instead, his total leaves him only nine votes shy of a 10,000vote lead over his closest rival, National’s Brett Hudson, a gap that will close by the counting of special votes by November 7. At 36 on National’s list which sees nine list candidates enter the House, Brett loses his seat.

Ohariu had been called as marginal, with Greg winning by just over 1000 votes last time.

“It was all go over the weekend until the rugby started, then I had a few beers and relaxed,” Greg says.

“In fact I don’t think I’ve enjoyed an All Blacks game like that in quite some time.”

He believes his particular skillset and interests are at electorate level. His advocacy for local causes, for more capital expenditure in local schools, and his regular “beats” through shopping centres familiarising with the issues have all registered with voters.

“Getting the endorsement of the people of Ohariu invigorates

The election over, Ohariu Labour MP Greg O’Connor, above, with dog Herbie, was back into his Sunday morning routine at the Johnsonville Vege Market he helped bring back from closure. Here supporter Greg with Prime Minister and Labour leader Dharma Krishnavatay congratulates him on his Jacinda Ardern on Monday. success. Photo supplied.

me,” he says “Now when I do go advocating for things, the people I speak to now know I have the backing of my electorate and that means a lot.

“I never regretted (not being on the list).

“If I got the job on the list and was second best in the electorate, I don’t feel I could have held my head-up in the bars, pubs and clubs and that’s very personal to me.”

A former West Coaster, Greg’s move from his original Seatoun home to a small farm property in Ohariu Road and his almost daily

climbs to the top of Mt Kaukau also did not go unnoticed.

His own ode to the mountain, framed in his office, leaves visitors in no doubt of where his heart is.

Unfinished business includes, he says, working with Stride Property on the logistics of redeveloping the Johnsonville Shopping Centre into a modern mall and he remains optimistic on that.

Many would see Greg as a shooin as Minister of Police, following his 40 years with the Police.

“I do have those ambitions (to be a minister), you probably shouldn’t be in parliament if you

don’t but I also accept that we now have a big caucus and Jacinda (Ardern) has a lot of decisions to make.

“I will take anything but I’m confident I can make a good fist of anything that I am given.

“In my first term, I wanted to do two things, one was to learn my craft (as an MP) and two was to get the endorsement of my constituents and I feel I’ve done that.”

However, no date has been set for any announcements of ministerial appointments and, he says: “The Prime Minister has now got a lot of people to choose from.”

MP for Ōhāriu

Greg.OConnor@parliament.govt.nz Facebook.com/GregOhariu Twitter.com/GregOhariu Authorised by Greg O’Connor, Parliament Buildings, Wellington

Thank goodness elections only come around every three years.

The signs are down, your letterboxes and social media are not overflowing with political ads, and you can answer your door knowing it won’t be a politician seeking your vote.

We had a massive turnout here in Ōhāriu, so we remain one of the most engaged electorates in the country.

I have been humbled by the support I received from the electorate after deciding to put my faith in you by not going on the Labour List, I’m now already working to ensure that faith is justified, having made it to the market at 9am Sunday morning.

The good thing is that now, with such overwhelming support, I can be your voice in Government and wherever else I’m advocating local issues, being able to point out that I do speak on behalf of the electorate.

We saved the Newlands Fire Brigade and the Johnsonville Vege market among other things, and I will continue to work with Stride to progress the Johnsonville Mall, which came up time and time again on the hustings, as it did in a recent Salvation Army survey.

Hopefully recent and future urban planning changes represent a massive opportunity for a mixed

model mall, incorporating residential, office and retail.

And getting more houses built and people housed is a priority of our Government, the lessons of last term having being learned.

The campaign was a long hard one, with the extra month thrown in for good measure courtesy of COVID-19.

Those who organised opportunities for voters to meet the candidates had to change dates and venues at short notice due to the extension, and did an excellent job of organising them.

Our candidate debates were civil and respectful, and I acknowledge all the contenders, especially my main opponent Brett Hudson who is an honest toiler who gave it his all.

It’s a hard old game politics and we are all competing for just one job.

I’m very grateful to have been chosen, and wish the other candidates well.

I will continue to be available at the hospitality venues, the sports and cultural events, the markets, churches, schools and anywhere else people get together, so please make yourself known or make an appointment in the office. Ōhāriu is a fine place to live, and I will 2, 18 Moorefield Johnsonvilleon that for be Unit working toRoad, improve On the McDonald’s everyone here,roundabout COVID-19 free!

North Wellington schools set for the stage

By Jacob Page

Audiences will be seeing double this November as Shakespeare’s classic tale of mistaken identities, The Comedy of Errors, takes over primary school aged children in the Wellington region.

Eleven schools across the region are taking part in this year’s Primarily Playing With Shakespeare (PPWS), created by Shakespeare Globe Centre New Zealand (SGCNZ): Clifton Terrace Model School, Wellington Home Education Network, Samuel Marsden Collegiate School, Otari Primary School, Karori West Normal School, Queen Margaret College, St Mark’s Church School, Kelburn Normal School, Ridgway School, Hutt Intermediate School and Kena Kena School.

Students aged 5-12 have been rehearsing their allotted scenes in their own schools and homeschool cluster for the last few weeks. One half will come together for the action-packed one-hour performance at Samuel Marsden Collegiate School and

the other half at Hutt Intermediate School, a week later.

The process has been guided by Mentor and Co-Director, Michael Armstrong, who has been working with teachers, sharing the methodology to ensure it will be a cohesive production. This play presents additional challenges, as it revolves around two sets of identical twins, and with each character performed by up to six different students!

Aimed at young people from Years 1-8 and their teachers, PPWS is a programme, now in its seventh year, created to develop core skills as they embark on a journey of discovery, igniting and delighting their artistic creativity.

For the teachers, it gives them the chance to explore core curriculum through a new dramatic lens.

“Far from finding the Bard’s plays difficult, these very young students relish the opportunity to experience his works through exploration of the text in a fun, imaginative and thematic way, while increasing their literacy and collaborative skills,” re-

inbrief news Mailbox thefts in Tawa Police are aware of a spike in thefts of mailboxes from houses in and around Tawa.

Police patrols have been increased in the area and members of the public are encouraged to report thefts when they occur. Please continue to report any suspicious behaviour. If you have any information in relation to these thefts, contact your local Police.

marked SGCNZ CEO, Dawn Sanders.

From a student at Clifton Terrace Model School after being in SGCNZ PPWS Twelfth Night last year: “I really enjoyed it - it was super fun. I definitely want to do it again next year.”

Many of the participants over the years have gone on to participate in SGCNZ’s annual University of Otago Sheilah Winn Shakespeare Festivals, which are

for secondary age students. Three have even been selected to go to the Globe as members of SGCNZ Young Shakespeare Company.

The relevance of Shakespeare’s human relationships to everyday life today is not lost on the young people. From an early age they find it empowering to learn that expressions such as ‘green-eyed monsters’ and ‘fair is ‘fair’ were introduced through the writings of the Bard.

The Horowhenua Wellington Vintage Car Club will be treated to stories of the old stage coach days and the motorised transport used by people who lived at the historic Halfway House at Glenside, during their visit to the house on Wednesday 28 October.

“This is a great way to celebrate Heritage Week,” said Claire Bibby, president of the Glenside Progressive Association.

“Organiser Kevin Buck is bringing his 1950’s Zephyr Zodiac and we hope to see other classics from days gone past.”

“The local community are welcome to come along and join in,” she said.

The historic talk and garden walk begins at about 2pm.

Robertson comfortable in victory With an election night total of 22,015 Labour’s Grant Robertson, Minister of Finance and of Sport and Recreation, was a popular figure at Saturday night’s Labour Party “election night “do” at Wharewaka.

The closest any Wellington Central candidate came was National’s Nicola Willis with 7080 votes. She stays on as a List MP Grant, now entering his fifth-term, had high praise for Jacinda Ardern’s “incredible” leadership, and the mandate she now

held both nationally and internationally.

“Thank you for keeping us safe.”

But first he had a powerful tribute to Justice Minister Andrew Little, who had resigned the Labour Party leadership before the 2017 election in favour of Jacinda. “A man of huge integrity.”

Eritrean refugee and now new list MP Ibrahim Omar entered the room to a resounding chant of “Ibrahim, Ibrahim.” He spoke powerfully of Grant’s mentoring that had brought him on his unimaginable journey to Parliament.

During Level 1 our hours are:

"Not in our wildest dreams did we imagine a landslide like tonight." Grant Robertson, member for Wellington Central, Minister of Finance and Minister of Sport, addresses the Labour Party function at Wharewaka on the Wellington waterfront.

Tawa kitchen fire a reminder A Tawa resident had a close call last Thursday night when their house filled with smoke after a pot caught fire when it was left unattended on the stove.

Volunteer firefighters rescued the resident and assisted them out of the house to safety.

Area Manager Dave Key says this is a timely reminder to make sure you never leave cooking unattended - even briefly.

“Fire is quick and can totally consume a room in just three minutes. If you need to leave the stove when cooking for any reason - to go bathroom, take a phone call or deal with the kids - make sure you switch it off until you get back,” says Dave Key. The fire also shows the importance of having working smoke alarms.

“The occupant was lucky their neighbour heard the smoke alarms and called 111 before the fire spread any further through the house,” says Dave Key. “It’s a simple fact that working smoke alarms save lives. So make sure you press the button and check yours.”

Council grants a welcome boost for community groups Funding support for our community organisations is always important, but during COVID-19, it’s vital – and Wellington City Council’s grants are meeting a real need where there is high demand.

The recent $370,000 Social and Recreation Fund grants will be a welcome boost for the 21 organisations that support a diverse range of communities and the environment in the capital.

This fund supports organisations to deliver outcomes that improve community wellbeing, reduce harm, support inclusiveness and community connectedness. Also, those organisations that in recent times have faced increased and new demand for services as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, says Mayor Andy Foster.

“These grants have supported a number of local community run Residents Associations, and environmental organisations like the Wellington Marine Conservation Trust ($26,250) and Papa Taiao – central city urban gardens ($25,796), as they all play a crucial role in strengthening communities and well-being.

“The grants are an investment in community well-being and inclusive neighbourhoods – which is the foundation upon which our city thrives. They are also a vehicle to provide additional support for organisations such as Zeal Wellington who work to keep our young people safe and support a well-managed nighttime economy,” adds the Mayor.

The Zeal Wellington Street Youth Work Project was granted $134,260, which will go a long way in supporting the young people of the city, according to Zeal Education Trust Wellington Regional Manager, Britney Marsh.

“This project focuses on engag-

The Zeal Wellington Street Youth Work Project was granted $134,260 from the Wellington City Council, which will go a long way in supporting the young people of the city

ing the most disconnected young people on Wellington’s CBD streets, many who have fallen through the cracks.

“We have seen first-hand the vulnerability of these young people and the issues around mental health, homelessness and safety, and have worked to provide an innovative coordinated approach to address these concerns.

“This project will involve youth workers going out onto the streets at peak times to connect with vulnerable and disengaged youth in city ‘hot-spots’. We want to reconnect these ran-

gatahi to their communities and support them to build the tools and resilience they need to navigate life. We want to see them flourish,” adds Britney.

Other major recipients include InsideOUT Koāro ($29,187), the Māori Women’s Refuge ($36,637), and the Homeless Women’s Trust ($70,000) – all identified as high priority groups as we move into COVID-19 recovery mode, says Grants Subcommittee Chair and Community Well-being portfolio lead, Councillor Fleur Fitzsimons.

“These organisations provide

shelter, support and safety for some of our more vulnerable members of the community, and with the challenges of COVID-19 there is higher demand for these services.

“We know there are more and more people requiring a helping hand, and resources are stretched, so we are looking at all the ways we can support these groups – and funding is just one of those,” say Councillor Fitzsimons.

The next round of the Social and Recreation Fund is now open for applications closing at the end of October.

KIWI EXPERIENCE

Art, creativity and learning Creativity, problem-solving, sustainability and wellbeing are important principles guiding innovation in the curriculum and approaches to learning at Samuel Marsden Collegiate School.

Marsden School’s first ‘Trash to Flash’ day for Years 7-to-9 students late last year set out to meet this challenge.

Girls opted into a range of hands-on creative activities for the day. From beekeeping to go-kart making, girls were supported by local artisans and entrepreneurs to upcycle and make the most of everyday resources. In other projects, students combined design ingenuity with technology to make beautiful laser cut bird houses, and others learnt the traditional secrets of marmalade-making. A collapsed timetable, a whole day to focus on an enjoyable project, learning new skills and considering the many ways that products can be re-used and re-purposed is something the students will enjoy again this term.

As a Visible Wellbeing™ school, Marsden aims to embed a wellbeing dimension across all learning. With that in mind, ‘Trash to Flash’ strengthened relationships and explored building new habits and goals.

Last year’s revamp of Marsden’s junior Technology curriculum also bolstered creativity, problem-solving and awareness of sustainability. In Year 9, Creating Taonga, students

Community experts share their expertise in skills such as tivaevae, inspiring students to experiment with laser cut or 3-D printing to create taonga. In Year 10 Fashion Designer, students work sustainably with fabric and alternative materials.

Girls connected with local entrepreneur Bernadette Casey, founder of the Formary, an innovative New Zealand business that established the Textile Reuse project.

Learning from a design and business expert inspired

Year 10 students Minkyung Kim and Amy Slessor to collaborate on designing a hanbok, using packaging from Bluebird chips to Watties Beanz to sew New Zealand flavours into their traditional Korean dress.

This fantastic cross-cultural learning opportunity enabled the girls to deliver a sustainability message with fun and creative flair.

I would get out and bounce around on my new tramp with my little sister.

I wouldn’t mind I don’t really use my phone that much and I would go bike riding.

I would probably go out and ride my trials bike all day.

I would probably hang out with my new born nephew who is only a few days old.

I would probably draw all day which is something I enjoy.

I wouldn’t mind I would just hang out with my family and look after my little sister.

EYE ON CRIME In Johnsonville a burglary took place at a building site located in Fraser Avenue. The site had previously been an old school.

The sliding door at the rear of the property had been jemmied to gain access. Some new appliances were delivered to the site the day before and were stolen during the burglary. They were a dishwasher, an electric oven and a cooker. All were Alto brand. In Ironside Road a vehicle, parked within the property of the owner, was the subject

of a theft. The offenders stole a registration plate from the vehicle as well as about $50 in coins and a pocket knife from the glove box. In Dominion Park Street damage was done to a Ford Mondeo which had been parked on the road. The left side mirror was damaged and found lying nearby. The vehicle also lost one of its registration plates.

In Ngaio a house in Gaya Grove was entered when the last one home forgot to lock up. A creaking door to a bedroom woke someone up.

A silhouette of a figure passing in the hall had led to a call to declare themselves but the figure stopped momentarily and then vanished.

By this time the family were awake and were in hot pursuit. The intruder had slipped out and had driven off in a small car. Nothing was stolen and Police are checking the registration number of the car.

In Churton Park an attempt was made to burgle a house at the corner of Amesbury Drive and Atherton Terrace. A window showed signs

of force but the attempt appears to have been abandoned. No entry gained. In Burbank Crescent a vehicle had its rear window smashed.

Nothing was stolen and no entry gained.

In Karori a white Ford Focus hatchback parked in Raine Street had its front registration plate stolen.

In Wilton a blue Honda Demio hatchback was stolen from Warwick Street. It was found by the owner a week later in Pembroke

Road. The rear window and a passenger side window had been smashed and the ignition pulled out. Items missing are airpods generation 1, Rayban sunglasses and a tennis racket. A gold Toyota Camry parked briefly in Warwick Street had its rear passenger window smashed in an attempt to steal it. The ignition had been pulled out and was no longer working.

In Northland a red motor scooter was stolen. It was later recovered minus the registration plate.

Keeping it in the family with the NZSO The New Zealand Symphony Orchestra performs the glorious music of baroque genius Johann Sebastian Bach and two of his gifted sons in Wellington next Wednesday.

Bach Extended features four beloved works by JS Bach and two exceptional pieces by his sons Carl Philipp Emanuel and Wilhelm Friedemann Bach.

The brainchild of NZSO Concertmaster and violinist Vesa-Matti Leppänen, Bach Extended is the latest instalment of the NZSO’s hit Baroque Series.

Earlier this year, a tour of JS Bach’s masterpiece Goldberg Variations played to packed venues in the North Island, including Wellington. Critics loved the performances.

Had Bach been observing from on high, I’m sure he would have been delighted.

The Dominion Post.

The Orchestra provided a ra re and im mensely satisfying concert of this monumental opus from the height of the Baroque period.

Manawatu Standard.

Leppänen says one of the highlights of Bach Extended for audiences will be hearing the similarities and differences between JS Bach and

his offspring. “The combination is really interesting. For example, CPE Bach’s work is quite humorous at times and is clearly much more positive and earthlier than his father’s. But you can still hear the influence of his father.”

Bach Extended includes one of JS Bach’s and baroque music’s best-known works, his Orchestral Suite No. 3, featuring the beautiful second movement Air on the G String.

The concert also boasts two superb soloists: acclaimed pianist Diedre Irons and the NZSO’s renowned Section Principal Cello Andrew Joyce. Irons will perform on fortepiano for CPE Bach’s expressive Concerto No. 4.

Joyce features on JS Bach’s

The moment you walk inside you can instantly appreciate how this property has only ever had two owners and has been tirelessly transformed.

eloquent Selections for Cello Suite No. 6.

While Wilhelm and Carl were heavily influenced by their father, they also pushed the boundaries of what baroque music could achieve.

WF Bach’s inventive Duet for Two Flutes will soar with the unmistakable sweet sound of baroque flutes.

Bach Extended also features Contrapunctus XIV Unfinished, one of the best of JS Bach’s 14 fugues from The Art of Fugue, and the evocative Chorale Vor deinen Thron, reputedly written on JS Bach’s deathbed.

Bach Extended is also touring the South Island in November, with concerts in Invercargill, Dunedin, Oamaru, Christchurch, and Nelson.

Fostering young minds with free kai A Wellington charity supporting vulnerable young people is now providing lunch to up to 1,500 tamariki every day, improving the students’ engagement and school attendance rates.

The Do Some Good school lunch programme works with schools, kohanga reo and kindergartens in Pōneke to support children in need.

A Vulnerable Support Charitable Trust [VSCT] initiative, Do Some Good, has now been extended into six more schools with help from Wellington City Council.

The free school lunch programme has received a grant through Council’s Covid-19 response funding in the Social and Recreation Fund, which aims to support projects and organisations that deliver outcomes to improve community safety, wellbeing and connectedness.

VSCT Community Coordinator Leigh Keown says the $22,059 grant has allowed the trust to extend the programme, which now supports a total of 12 schools in the greater Wellington region.

“We saw over lockdown the real need for support and

we wanted to make sure we were providing support to as many whānau and tamariki as we could,” Leigh says.

“The funding from the Council allows VSCT to expand on the work we are doing and provide breakfast and lunch to tamariki in four more schools and two kohanga reo.”

These schools are Tawa Intermediate School, Berhampore School, St Anne’s School, Newtown School, Ngahauranga Te Kohanga Reo, and Te Iwi Kohanga Reo. Leigh says the programme is now feeding up to 1,500 tamariki every school day.

“The difference Do Some Good makes is shown in the lower absentee rates at the schools. Kids are more engaged through the day and can focus on learning.”

Council’s Community Services Manager Jenny Rains says this is a fantastic outcome.

She says VSCT’s free lunch programme aligned well with one of the Covid-19 response funding criteria – ‘Enhancing food security and access to healthy food’.

“It is important that students have ready access to healthy food as Wellington’s

economy recovers.

“The Ministry of Education’s school lunch programme expansion is expected to roll out next school year. This funding will cover until the end of this school year, with the hope it will ensure continuity of support.”

Leigh says Do Some Good was founded with the aim of providing food to all kids in school, every day of the school year. She says the programme was designed to be simple and achievable so all schools could run it. VSCT organises the food order and delivery to the schools, and the teachers and teacher aids prepare the food.

“It was started in 2017, sparked by a conversation from one of our board members about his sister-in-law taking a loaf of bread to school every day, for kids who came to school with nothing in their lunch box or just a bag of chips to get them through their day.

“Not long after that conversation we introduced Do Some Good into Arakura School, Wainuiomata, and from there we expanded to a school in Porirua, two more schools in Lower Hutt, and a school and kindergarten in Linden.”

that everything tells a story. You can feel the happy memories here” It was clear to us that many small feet have run up and down the beautiful hallways, endless family gatherings and back-yard sports have taken place across the expansive section.

The annual Art Exhibition opened at Karori Arts and Crafts on Friday, where the judging of the competition also took place. President, Karen Simcox opened the Exhibition and introduced the judge, well known Wellington artist, Phil Dickson.

Phil has been part of the art scene in Wellington for many years and has been involved in KAC for many years. His works cover paintings, illustrations and cartoons.

Phil judged the many artworks on display in three categories and he commented on the wide range of subjects and the skill displayed by so many artists. Special thanks

to Andrew Glennie and the Gordon Harris owners who sponsored the prizes.

The Award winners were Judy Belgrave in the Traditional Category for Peacock and Peahen. The Judge’s comment was “Nice balance of composition. Good focus on the birds and control of medium”. A merit award was given to Julienne Bullen for Autumn Rose and the Judge’s comment was “Lovely example of floral art concentrating on a single bloom and one bud”.

The Contemporary award was given to Rachel Helson for Passing Time. The Judge’s comment was “Nice use of complementary colours and adjacent spectrums resulting in a pleasing design”. A merit

award was given to Sally Weatherley for Black and White. The Judge’s comment was “Great design, pattern and execution”.

The Drawing prize went to Colin Durville for Ferns, Vine – Otari. The Judge’s comment was “Great sense of light and shadow. Proof tone is at least as important as colour”. The merit award was given to Margaret Rogers for KAC Art Exhibition.

The Judge commented “I like the humour. Exhibition openings make subjects too!”.

Artists, would-be artists and viewers mingled for a couple of hours, chatting, and taking in the artwork that surrounded them on all sides.

Diversity highlighted at Wellingtonian Awards What do the Director-General of Health, a former Deputy Mayor, a drag king, a wahine toa, and an interfaith council leader have in common? They’re all recipients of the 2020 Absolutely Positively Wellingtonian (APW) awards.

Fifteen recipients of the award were celebrated last night at an event acknowledging their commitment and contribution to making a difference in the community, the city, and the country.

These awards are a small way of thanking Wellingtonians who make a huge contribution, usually voluntarily, to our people, our environment and our community, says Mayor Andy Foster.

“These winners come from a diverse range of cultures, demographics, and backgrounds, some are well known internationally, some just in their neighbourhood, but all provide an invaluable service to our community as a whole.

“While these awards usually acknowledge the charitable and voluntary contributions of Wellingtonians, it was also a great honour for me to give this award to Dr Ashley Bloomfield for his outstanding leadership role in the country’s COVID-19 health response,” adds the Mayor.

The winners’ contributions to the community ranged from promoting and facilitating Tikanga Māori and rangatahi kapa haka, to 40 years of service at Youthline Wellington, a couple who together have dedicated over 50 years as Scout Leaders helping develop many hundreds of young people through scouting, and a charity which provides donated and second-hand bikes to people from a refugee background.

Arts, Culture and Events portfolio lead, and Wellington International Pride Parade board member, Councillor Nicola Young is also pleased to see a significant number of LGBTQI+ community individuals acknowledged this year.

“The 2020 Wellington International Pride Parade attracted an estimated crowd of 50,000, so it is with mixed emotions we celebrate

co-chair Richard Tait who is retiring from the board this year.

“This award acknowledges and thanks Richard for putting our city’s LGBTQI+ community into a warm and friendly spotlight, after all, Wellington is a place for everyone in the alphabet.”

Other members of the queer community recognised at the awards include cabaret producer George Fowler and his alter-ego, drag king Hugo Grrrl, and Des Smith, a staunch advocate for gay rights, who with his husband John were the first couple in New Zealand to have a civil union just days after the Act came into effect.

The APW awards were presented and celebrated during a ceremony held at the City Gallery last night (Tuesday 20 October 2020).

The full list of APW 2020 recipients are: Bill and Donas Nathan (joint) For more than fifty years Bill and Donas have been pillars of Ngati Poneke, Aotearoa’s oldest kapa haka group. They have led the organisations cultural activities, inspired and taught thousands of our young people traditional Māori song and dance, and have nurtured a wider and greater understanding of Tikanga Māori.

Brian Sheppard Brian is an icon of Churton Park and the northern suburbs and has been an active volunteer and advocate for his community since 2014.

As President of the Churton Park Community Association he has been the lead figure in the organisation of many iconic events.

Christine Langdon Christine is a Wellington local and founder of The Good Registry, a social giving platform where people can make donations to Wellington and nationwide charities instead of traditional gifts.

David Zwartz David has contributed an immense amount of time and effort to the Jewish Community since the 1980’s. He was a co-founder of the Wellington Interfaith Council, and volunteered for the Holocaust

They were the first couple in New Zealand to have a civil union.

Dr Ashley Robin Bloomfield Dr Bloomfield is the DirectorGeneral of Health and the Chief Executive of the Ministry of Health.

He is a recipient of this award for his outstanding leadership, his reassuring advice and the role he has played in helping to lead New Zealand’s extremely successful COVID-19 health response to date.

George Fowler/Hugo Grrrl George (and his alter-ego, drag king Hugo Grrrl), is a comedy and cabaret producer, and founder of local alternative arts events company Hugo Grrrl’s Gigs. He leads a team of queer creatives and event producers to bring Wellington an incredible array of live theatre - from drag to comedy, from burlesque to poetry.

Hilleke and Mike Townsend (joint) Hilleke and Mike founded the

charity ReBicycle EkeRua which provides donated and second-hand bikes to refugees and people in need.

It also helps refugee women learn cycle skills and provides them with a transport method that is accessible and environmentally friendly.

Lena Meinders Lena Meinders has been described as ‘wahine toa’ who is passionate about preserving and promoting Māori tikanga, kawa, waiata and te reo.

Lena is Deputy Principal at Newlands Intermediate and Chair of the Ngā Hau e Whā o Paparārangi Marae. A member of the Marae for more than fifteen years, she facilitates the local rangatahi kapa haka group which has seen its membership grow to more than thirty students.

GARDENING THIS WEEK Grow your own: By Wally Richards There are many very good reasons why you should grow at least some of your own food. Self-sufficiency and a healthier food chain are two of the most important reasons especially when you need to have a great immune system and don’t want to stand in line down the street to get a few chemical ridden vegetables from the Supermarket. Then there is the satisfaction of turning either seeds or seedlings into mature plants ready to harvest.

If you shop currently at New World they are giving away little peat pots with seeds for you or your children to grow. I know at least two people who don’t garden that have followed the instructions and germinated the seeds and planted out the peat pots.

If you or your family are growing these pots of seeds there are a few things to remember; Root crops such as carrots are pointless growing in the peat pots as their roots will not penetrate down so the best you could hope for is short stubby carrots. Take the disc with the seeds on, separate the seeds and plant them individually about 30mm apart where they will grow to maturity in a garden or raised garden.

Other plants such as onions, cabbage etc can be germinated in the peat pots but later after they have sprouted get them out into a garden or larger container to grow on to a seedling stage; big enough to lift and divide and plant out separately with appropriate spacing.

To lift and separate ensure that

the area that they have developed in is very wet and with the aid of a garden fork or trowel lift the clump and divide. Some such as thyme and basil can be grown in pots that are about 10cm in diameter.

If germinating inside make sure you move them outside as soon as you see a show otherwise they will stretch to light (even on a window sill) and spoil. I read an account this week that said: “Food prices continue rising during the coronavirus pandemic, jeopardizing food security for tens of millions worldwide.

On Thursday, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations said world food prices rose for the fourth consecutive month in September, led by surging prices for cereals and vegetable oils, reported Reuters. Food security I believe is becoming a vital aspect of future living and as my Mum would have said it’s never too early to start.

I have found inexpensive small raised gardens, sitting on concrete are easy to use and surprising how much you can grow in a small space.

I have several of them; called raised garden beds 60cm x 60 cm x 41cm tall and larger at 120cm x 90cm x 41cm which I found at the Trade Tested web site under gardening. (These are currently sold out but new stock available soon.) I sit them on concrete in a nice sunny area, place some weed mat under them to stop the compost or soil washing

Self-sufficiency and a healthier food chain are two of the most important reasons to try growing some of your own food.

out over the concrete and then fill them with purchased compost and some garden goodies such as Blood & Bone, Sheep pellets, chicken manure etc.

Being made of aluminium they attract heat from the sun and the plants grow very quickly. They will keep on giving you growing space for many years to come all you need to do is top them up with a bit of fresh compost and goodies between crops. Lettuce (drunken woman) I planted as seedlings about three weeks ago are now started to harvest outer leaves

already. The raised garden beds are very versatile such as the 60cm x 60 cm x 41cm one you could plant a tomato in the middle and around it between the trunk and the sides of the container grow lettuce, beetroot, radish and dwarf beans.

Only grow the vegetables that you normally eat though it’s also fun to grow something different now and then. Taste = Goodness. If you grow vegetables naturally while making minerals and trace elements available to your crop you will find when you eat them they are delicious.

You can apply minerals from the

Ocean with Wallys Ocean Solids and minerals from prehistoric times with Wallys Magic Botanic Liquid.

Stop using chlorinated tap water on your gardens as well, put a 10 micron carbon bonded filter on the tap and your garden will flourish and you will have less plant disease and pest problems.

In Nature pest insects and diseases are Natures Cleaners and they are there to get rid of sickly plants. It is really so simple and you can do it in your own back yard.

Pink Ribbon Walk returns Wellingtonians are being urged to grab their pals, put on their pinkest outfits, and join thousands of Kiwis walking for breast cancer.

Wellington is about to be packed out in pink again this November for Breast Cancer Foundation NZ’s (BCFNZ) Pink Ribbon Walk.

The walk takes place on Saturday November 7 beginning at Frank Kitts Park, with pre-event entertainment from 2:15pm and the walk starting at 3pm. Tickets are available online now at pinkribbonwalk.co.nz Gaylene Nankivell, who is 58 years old and lives in Lower Hutt, is doing the Wellington Pink Ribbon Walk for the second time, after being diagnosed with breast cancer last September. She had 30 friends joining her on the 5km walk last year, which she tackled just after having a mastectomy and waiting for chemotherapy to start. This year she’s planning to do the 10km walk and so far 20 of her friends have signed up to join her.

Gaylene said: “Personally, I want to do the walk again this year as I have had such wonderful support from Breast Cancer Foundation over the past 12 months.

Wellingtonians are being encouraged to be part of the Pink Ribbon Walk for breast cancer on November 7.

And of course on the day, the whole event is such fun, provides us with plenty of laughs, and we get our needed exercise. A win-win for everyone.”

Each year, around 336 people are diagnosed with breast cancer in greater Wellington, and sadly every year around 67 will die of breast cancer.

BCFNZ’s Pink Ribbon Walks are annual fundraisers which celebrate breast cancer survivors, remember those who have been lost, promote breast health awareness, and raise much-needed funds to work towards BCFNZ’s vision of zero deaths from breast cancer.

With 5km and 10km routes, the walks are ac-

cessible to everyone, no matter their age or fitness level. Supporters who aren’t keen on walking can still take part by signing up to be a volunteer marshal or cheer squad member.

“Our Pink Ribbon Walks are a great way to show your support for friends, family or colleagues affected by breast cancer,” said Evangelia Henderson, chief executive of Breast Cancer Foundation NZ. “It’s always really special to see supporters and survivors coming together to help us achieve our vision of zero deaths from breast cancer. The funds raised will go towards our lifesaving work in research, patient support and education.”

Guys and gals challenge

By Gerald Rillstone

It was game on for all ages last week for the Tough Guy and Gal Challenge at Camp Wainui with a tough course set up to provide a challenge but also a lot of fun.

Camp Wainui provided a unique opportunity within a native bush environment and it wasn’t for the fainthearted to take on with swamps to wade through, barbed wire to crawl under, waste deep mud troughs, tunnels, lots of water and a range of other obstacles to be over come on two courses of 6 kilometres and the long grueling 12 kilometre course.

Crofton Downs resident took on the challenge supported by her two children Ella and Braydon who cheered her on and welcomed her at the finish line where she finished fourth in her division.

The Junior Tough Guy and Gal Challenge was run earlier in the week with a 1.5km course for ages 7 to 8, and a 3km course for ages 9 to 12.

Anna Lewis and her proud supporters, Ella (5) and Braydon (8) after completing the 12km course.

Anna Lewis gets low to try and avoid an electric shock.

Diwali celebrations for Sunday Diwali festival ready to light up the city on Sunday.

Diwali Festival will be lighting up the waterfront with food, arts, culture, activities and fireworks for all to enjoy.

Diwali, also known as the ‘Festival of Lights’, is Wellington’s local Indian and South

East Asian communities’ biggest, most popular and vibrant cultural celebration on the calendar.

The lighting of lamps at this ancient Hindu festival significantly symbolises the triumph of light over darkness, good over evil, and the renewal of life.

Highlights of the festival will include delicious Indian food stalls, traditional and contemporary dance, music and fashion, arts, crafts, henna and information stalls.

The celebrations will close with a firework display on the waterfront.

All the colour and excitement of Diwali celebrations will hit the capital on Sunday.

Kapa Haka exchange

By Gerald Rillstone

Tawa Intermediate’s Kapa Haka group played host to Wainuiomata’s Kapa Haka group last week to exchange what they have learnt.

It provided a fantastic opportunity for the schools rangatahi to exchange waiata, meet new people and make lasting memories.

The trip was all in aid of streaming the event online so other schools in the region who had been practicing

their Kapa Haka could see each others performances.

The group of dedicated Wainuiomata students gave up part of their school holidays to put time into practicing as a group and it paid off with a stunning display of skill and voice.

Originally there was to be a gathering of all schools in the region to perform at the Kapa Haka Top 40 event but it was cancelled due to Covid restrictions.

All going well the event will be held in full next year.

Putting on a great performance Jack Williams, Jazer Moenoa, Josiah Etimani and Lucas Jones.

Former NZR chair Eddie Tonks dies Tonks, who was educated at Khandallah Primary School, Waipu District High School and Wellington Technical College, was first appointed to the NZR board in 1986 – a time of significant change, and controversy on the rugby scene.

He was part of a drive to have more business experience on the national board, largely as the result of changing requirements in the administration of the game, especially regarding the onset of the Rugby World Cup and increasing demands, many of them led by All Black Andy Haden, for better treatment of players.

Tonks had his own exporting company and had been prominent on the Wellington rugby scene. He was a life member of the Onslow Rugby Club which later become Western Suburbs after some local amalgamations.

His appointment to the NZR Board came amid the Cavaliers controversy. The team, all but two of whom had been selected for the cancelled 1985 tour of South Africa, due to a legal challenge in New Zealand, made a rebel tour without the approval of NZR. Players who made the tour received a twoTest ban contributing to New Zealand’s loss of the Bledisloe Cup that year to Australia.

But it was also a period of change in the game. World Rugby had been convinced by New Zealand and Australia to stage a Rugby World Cup, and Tonks became involved with the preparation for the inaugural event hosted by New Zealand and Australia in 1987.

He became Chair of the Union in 1990 and served until 1995 when world rugby was on

the cusp of going professional. He also had a stint as Chair of World Rugby.

During his tenure as NZR Chair, he was part of a controversial decision to appoint selector John Hart as a co-coach, with the incumbent coach Alex Wyllie, ahead of the 1991 Rugby World Cup in Britain and Ireland in which the All Blacks finished in third place.

Tonks told television commentator Keith Quinn in the documentary series, Legends of the All Blacks, “There has been some unrest from within the team with the coaching set-up. Grizz [Wyllie] didn’t get on with a lot of the players at that time. There were certain issues the players’ committee took exception to…But it was very late in the day from the World Cup point of view, and we didn’t want to take a major decision, like getting rid of someone, because that would have been worse for us.

“It wasn’t the most platonic relationship between Harty and Grizz and, in hindsight, I know dashed well that the co-coach set-up didn’t work. They had almost identical points of view, but there was a temperamental difference. That’s what caused the conflict.

“But at the time we thought it was in the best interests of the All Blacks. I was certainly one of the people behind the decision. I was the Chairman and had to lead the way,” he said.

He was on the NZR Board from 1986 to 1995. He was Deputy Chair from 1988-89 and Chair from 1990 until 1995. He was also Deputy Chair of the Wellington RFU from 1977-1989. Tonks was made an NZR Life Member in 2004.

Randall signs for Hawke’s Bay

By Jacob Page

Up-and-coming North Wellington striker Jesse Randall will play for Hawke’s Bay United in this season’s national premiership.

The 17-year-old New Zealand age-group representative will take up a four year scholarship at North Kentucky University in January and hopes to turn that into a professional career someday.

Jesse has been part of the North Wellington set-up for the past 18

months and despite his youthful appearance, has become their Central League team’s leading scorer as well as their main penalty taker.

Jesse represented New Zealand at the under-17 World Cup last year and also had a stint playing for Tasman United in the national league last year.

Jesse made his debut for the Rongotai first XI when he was in Year 9 and he says that was when his dream to turn professional was born.

Beaver set for JRFC fundraiser

By Jacob Page

All Blacks World Cup hero Stephen Donald will be the guest of honour at Johnsonville Rugby Football Club’s inaugural fundraising lunch tomorrow.

Donald was a late call-up to the men in black for the 2011 final against France at Eden Park and ended up coming off the bench in a jersey which was three sizes too small for him to kick the matchwinning penalty in an 8-7 victory.

The event will be hosted by former Trackside personality Andre Neil who will MC the event.

World Cup hero Stephen Donald will be the guest of honour at the Johnsonville Rugby Football Club's fundraising event tomorrow.

There is also the possibility of an appearance by part owner of famed Kiwi twitter Lyell Creek, in Graeme Bruton.

Tiana has had a stellar two years of netball at a national level, in the under 21 New Zealand squad and as a Te Wananga o Raukawa Pulse player.

Presented each year in partnership with Victoria University of Wellington Students’ Association (VUWSA), the Blue Awards are the highest sporting accolade the University can give to students who have brought credit to the institution through their sporting achievements or contribution to sport. The awards also recognise the rich contribution that tertiary sport makes to campus life.

Thirty-six awards were presented to the University’s top athletes, sports clubs, and administrators at today’s informal ceremony at the Club House, home to clubs on campus. In a year of huge challenges in sport due to COVID-19, the University is proud to support student athletes and while the event differed from the usual formal ceremony, their achievements are no less remarkable.

Tiana was selected for the Netball New Zealand U21 Squad for 2020 and was a squad member for Te Wananga o Raukawa Pulse Team, playing in their grand final victory over The Good Oil Tactix in the ANZ Premiership this year.

In 2019, Tiana was selected for the Netball New Zealand Silver Ferns Development Squad and the Netball New Zealand A Team. Proud of both her Maori and Cook Islands heritage, Tiana is active in her church and community and uses her influence to speak and share her passion for Cook Islands Maori.

Tommy is studying a Master of Arts majoring in history.

Victoria University Netball Club (Team Vic) has had an historic year, with its top side Vic Uni 1 placing in the top 4 teams of Premier 1 for the first time. Vic Uni 6 also had an outstanding season, finishing first in Premier Reserve Two. In addition to developing its performance, the team has worked hard to maintain stability and build connections in a year with disruptions to play and social events, and has encouraged members to build their experience on the committee and get involved in campus life.

SPORTS TALK With Jacob Page

ABs respond to the pressure That was better wasn’t it?

Far from perfect but the All Blacks showed more intent in all areas to steamroll the Wallabies at a place they simply do not lose, Eden Park.

The 20-minute period after halftime was exactly what All Black fans needed to see and it likely allowed under-pressure Ian Foster his first decent night of sleep in quite some time.

Key players stood up.

Sam Cane was immense in all areas.

He was a pest at the breakdown, a damaging ball-carrier and he was defensively sound as always.

Caleb Clarke was as advertised, 138 running metres which was 50m more than the next best player on the park.

The scrums got much better as the game went on.

It was a decent response to the

previous week’s lacklustre effort.

The All Blacks thrived with the return of wiser heads like Beauden Barrett and Anton Lienert-Brown.

Undoubtedly the star was Caleb Clarke.

The son of former Blues’ midfielder Eroni Clarke looks to be another stellar winger of the New Zealand production line.

Ardie Savea is the No 8 of the next

four years.

The way he keeps his legs driving, pumping like pistons in contact is special.

Australia’s 34-year wait for a win at Eden Park will continue.

The All Blacks were more clinical when they needed to be.

They are still the best team in the world on the counter-attack.

The rugby public will be able to put

away their torches and pitchforks at least for a week or two.

The team handled the pressure of needing to win at their fortress extremely well.

They outplayed Australia and the score line was a fair reflection of how the middle 40 minutes of the match played out.

We can all chill out now, right?

All is right in the world again.

The Johnsonville premier team will look to ensure they are in contention across all three formats this summer.

Johnsonville CC hunts silverware

By Jacob Page

Johnsonville premier cricket captain Rakitha Weerasundara believes his team will be a handful across all three formats this season.

The opening weekend was rained out on Saturday, “I think we are in a unique position where we come into the season with one of the strongest squads on paper,” he says.

“In previous years we’ve been underdogs who have always punched above our weight and made a couple of finals but never won one.

“This year we all feel we are capable of winning some silverware.”

Rakitha says his bowling lineup will hopefully be able to restrict the scoring rate and he saw their strongest format would likely be the 50-over competition.

“We are a tight bowling line-up and our batsmen aren’t naturally aggressive and while we can adapt, the 50-over format suits us.

“We have to find a balance

between patience and hitting the boundaries when needed.”

Rakitha says the addition of Jeremy Benton is welcomed.

“We’ve never been a club to land those big free agents and look, Jeremy is a massive addition for us,” he says.

“He’s the front-line spinner we have been lacking for the past three seasons and he’ll be handy with the bat as well.

Quick bowler Josh Mann will also add plenty to the pace attack.

“We lose the experience of Ricky Joseph but in Josh, we have a like-for-like replacement ready to go.

“We have the ability to bat right down to No 11 and early season in Wellington, there will be some dicey pitches so that will help us get those scores over 200 and then with our bowling attack, I feel we’ll be able to defend anything around that mark,” Rakitha says.

The top-order batting will be held firm by players like Gareth Severin.

“He’s a young fella who is all

of 20-years-old and he will be pushing for higher honours.

“I’m hoping he can have a breakout season for us.”

Last season Johnsonville were slow starters and Rakitha wants that to change.

“We really struggled early and it took us four games to get a win on the board and that’s something we’ll try to correct in the coming weeks.

Rakitha says they have five players trying to push for higher honours in provincial teams and they’re motivated to ensure they make the most of their talent.

“If we get the team culture right then the results and those individual accolades will come naturally.”

Rakitha says success this year will be defined by team culture and the prospect of some silverware.

“We want to have at least one piece of silverware under our belts and to have all our players return because that will show that, as a club, we are doing something right internally.”

Johnsonville premier cricket captain Rakitha Weerasundara says his team is capable of winning some silverware this season.
