Aiming for pest free

By Megan Connolly

The Predator free project had finally reached the hills of Wainuiomata with Wainuiomata Predator Free group officially holding their first meeting last Monday evening.

Wainuiomata is one of the last locations in our immediate area to have a Predator free

group but the interest from the community is enthusiastic, a spokesperson Steven Fraser says.

The lack of traps in the valley Wainuiomata has become a gateway for pests and doesn’t protect the large population of Kiwi’s in the Remutaka Forest Park area, Steven adds.

Protecting local wildlife with predator-free project Continued from Page 1.

“The idea of the group is that it’s a neighbourhood network, you’re not hiking through the hills. It’s really grassroots stuff.”

The traps are about a foot long with relatively thick wood, a wire grate and a small trap inside.

It is built in a way that you don’t need to fear your cats or dogs making the wrong move.

A bit of peanut butter is used instead of more dangerous poisons to attract the pests into the trap.

“We want to enhance and protect what is already an amazing aspect of living in Wainuiomata,” Steve says.

“It’s also part of the wider national project of predator-free 2050.”

Their first meeting on Monday evening, although at the same time as the cleanfill public meeting, was a success with 13 passionate supporters turning up to support the project.

“The bush and wildlife surrounding Wainuiomata are amazing. Its a big part of why Wainuiomata is such a great place.”

Steven says.

“Predator Free Wainuiomata is a way of preserving and enhancing this.”

There are already several traps already in place around Wainuiomata. But there are still many areas without traps.

The group aims aim to build and distribute 1400 boxes with traps, with about one in every five backyards to have them, as well as placing them in various reserves and down the Coast Road.

The Department of Conservation via the Hutt City Council will supply 50 traps per year.

The community can volunteer to place a trap in the backyard and, with the action group in place, you may not even have to check the trap yourself if you don’t want to.

“We’re looking for any old fence palings to build the boxes,” Steven adds.

If you’re interested in being a part of the project, contact Steven at 027 2425102.

Melbourne Cup races up Wainui Hill

By Megan Connolly

The prestigious 2019 Lexus Melbourne Cup, which is 1.65 kg and made of 18-carat gold with a value estimated at over $250k, took a drive to the top of the Wainuiomata Hill last Thursday afternoon during its tour of New Zealand.

Thankfully it was a beautiful day, so the cup got the best possible view. And, if you squinted hard enough, you could see the outline of the South Island.

This year’s Melbourne Cup tour is significant, not just because it travelled to Wainui Hill, but because it is celebrating one hundred years of racing.

To commemorate the centennial this year the cup sports three shiny gold handles instead of the standard two.

Each handle represents the three important people of racing: the trainer, the owner and the jockey.

Not only that but the three handle design emulates the way the cup looked in 1919.

The Melbourne Cup started it’s OE in July and has already visited the United Kingdom, Singapore and ??? and will travel right up until the Melbourne Cup on November 5.

It wasn’t already prestigious enough, the cup has its own entourage that travels the globe with it, including Australian Ray Dummett, who was very excited to be seeing the unforgettable sights for his first trip to New Zeraland.

“It is such an iconic trophy and we want to expose it to as many people as possible,” Ray says.

“Hopefully it will drum up some excitement and encourage people to come over for it.”

The Melbourne Cup is made of 34 pieces of gold metal Reporter Megan Connolly is dazzled by the Melbourne Cup on Thursday. that have been beaten for over 200 hours.

inbrief news Firearms meeting

Fitzroy pauses the pokies The Fitzroy Tavern is paused its pokies on Monday during Gambling Harm Awareness Week from September 2 to 8 and is challenging other pubs and clubs to do the same.

Hayden Wilby, owner and manager of the Fitzroy Tavern turned the pokies off in his bar for all of Monday September 2, to launch the awareness-raising week.

“We’ve taken part in the pause the pokies campaign for a couple of years now, and it’s

time to raise the bar,” he says.

“I know many pubs turn off their pokies first thing on a Monday. It’s great they’re taking part, but I want to challenge them to turn off their pokies for a whole day.”

Andree Froude, spokesperson for the Problem Gambling Foundation, says pausing the pokies is especially helpful for people experiencing harmful gambling as it encourages thinking about how much time and money is being spent and

lost on pokie machines.

“This is an awareness-raising campaign to help communities and patrons reflect on their gambling and to encourage change where gambling has become a problem for the gambler and their families.”

“It also gives us an opportunity to engage with venues that have pokies and discuss the signs of gambling harm, and importantly, how to make host responsibility work in practice.”

Pause the Pokies is a national

Songs of Spring

campaign run by many gambling harm service providers around the country. Last year over 80 venues paused their pokies for an hour or more during Gambling Harm Awareness Week.

One in five New Zealand adults is affected at some time in their lives by their own gambling or someone else’s.

Police look forward to welcoming the Wainuiomata firearms community to a collection event for prohibited firearms and parts on Saturday September 14.

The event will be held from 10am to 3pm in the Bilderbeck Hall, 102 Main Road .

A collection event earlier advertised for Sunday September 15, will no longer take place as Police feel that the Saturday event provides the firearms community with the opportunity they need to hand in firearms.

Firearms owners can still hand in firearms at other collection events in the wider Wellington region.

It’s also a chance for anyone to hand in any firearm or part no questions asked – under amnesty.

If you hand in firearms and parts under amnesty no personal details will be recorded as the amnesty is entirely anonymous.

If you do want to hand in firearms or parts for buyback, please complete the online form at http://www.police.govt.nz before coming to an event, including listing each firearm and/or each individual part you are bringing along.

This will save you time on the day.

Never too old to play with trains

By Megan Connolly

George Wright, Keith White, Stuart Minnifie and Andrew Gilbert are proving you are never too old to play with model trains.

The small group meets on Monday morning at the Menzshed to “have a play” with their handmade model railway that they have created over the last four years.

The group, along with several others have built the large frame

New Zealand Police and Vodafone want Kiwis to put the phone away when they’re driving.

“Police see too many crashes caused by people using their phones,” says Superintendent Steve Greally, national manager for road policing.

“The fact is; you are risking people’s lives by choosing to pick up your phone while you’re driving.”

“Things can change around you in a split second and if you’re not paying attention you may not have time to react and avoid a crash.

“Nobody wants to share the road with a driver who isn’t paying attention.”

Mobile phones can also draw our attention away from the immediate – which can be incredibly dangerous when behind the wheel.

that wraps around a majority of the room and estimate there would be around 30 metres of miniature track.

“It’s all from our imagination,” long time train lover George Wright says.

“I worked for 41 years for NZ Rail in their workshops and I’m still playing with trains,” he laughs.

“When I was little I always wanted to own a train set and now that I’m retired I can do it.”

Keith White has always had

a love for regular and model trains for much of his life too.

“I got my first model railway set for Christmas at about five years old,” he says.

“I’ve always had a model railway.”

In fact, when Keith’s children were younger he put together a model that went from his garage on to the front and around his section.

“It’s a marvellous hobby and it is very relaxing,” Keith says.

Stuart has been interested in

model trains since he was a child.

His favourite part is the variety of skills needed in the hobby such as electrical and model making skills.

Anyone is welcome to come along and to have a chat to anyone else interested, they say.

The group meet every Monday morning at the Menzshed on the old college campus on Moohan Road from 10.30am for companionship and model train fun.

River protection meeting well attended

The Wainuiomata Primary School hall was “packed” last Monday for the Protect Wainui River public meeting that discussed the issues the community has with the cleanfill on Coast Road.

“The hall was full, we had to get more chairs,” organiser Sally-ann Moffat says.

Many subject were discussed including the process of the non-notification extension by the council, the history of the site, the ecology of the Wainuiomata River and discussed how the council and community can work together to find a solution to the problem.

Along with the passionate community,

there were several representatives from Hutt City Council, local MP Chris Bishop and Ginny Anderson, local Community Board members and environmental experts.

Frances feels at home on the stage

By Megan Connolly

If you have been to any Little Theatre show over the last two decades, you may recognise Frances Crossland’s face.

She has worn many hats over the 28 years she has been involved with the theatre company, but for the upcoming show, she is wearing her chorus hat.

“I have been involved in every capacity: chorus, lead characters, vocal coach, choreographer,” Frances says.

One of her more memorable roles, she says, is the Narrator from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat.

“It was just fantastic.

“I love theatre and the end result is worth all of the efforts you put in and great, enthusiastic people you do it with,” she says.

Along with her many musical theatre

talents, Frances occasionally performs in a jazz idiom band and sings with New Zealand singer Kevin Clark.

“I came to singing when I was in school in the UK but the acting and drama came later.

“When I finished college in North Hampton, I joined a theatre group and I got hooked,” she says.

Since moving to town 40 years ago Frances has only performed in Little Theatre shows.

“I’m just exceeding loyal,” she laughs.

In Mamma Mia her favourite number to perform is Gimmie, Gimmie, Gimmie, she says.

“I really hope the audience will have a fun night out and go home with the sound and visuals still in their brain,” Frances adds.

MUSIC AND LYRICS BY

Much of the technology from 30 years ago can now fit in our pockets in the form of a smartphone.

Back to 1989 The Wainuiomata Museum is travelling back 30 years this month to 1989 to celebrate its 30th birthday.

And just in time National heritage month too!

A tempory display has been added to the museum that features old photographs of what life was like in Wainuiomata when the museum first opened, plus a trip down memory lane of the electronics of yesteryear.

For some, it could be hard to imagine that the old calculators, tape players and palm pilots were once the norm, and not all included in a smartphone.

There’s even an old photo from the time the Wainuiomata hillside road and footpath were first worked in 1989.

Gavin Wallace, Historical Society president, is excited for locals both young and old to take a short trip down memory lane.

“For some of us it doesn’t seem that long ago,” Gavin laughs.

“It is just interesting to see what’s changed.”

It was a big year for Wainuiomata that year too.

Wainuiomata had its own district council before it ended after one year and amalgamated with Hutt City Council.

A bush fire burnt through early that year and the Morton Dam was decommissioned and drained, Gavin will be hosting a talk on Saturday, September 28 at 2pm in the Community Hub Library where he will share his living memories of that year.

The exhibition is open to the public every Sunday 2pm-4pm until the end of the month.

Spring into Allergy Season We are lucky to be surrounded by beautiful green bush in Wainuiomata.

For those with allergies, however, this can mean lots of sneezing, wheezing and feeling lousy.

Here are some simple tips to reduce your allergy symptoms:

Do you think you might be suffering from pollen allergies? Seasonal hay fever is one of the most common types of allergic condition in New Zealand.

Those who are allergic to pollen usually start to display symptoms in their early teens.

• During the day your skin and hair will collect pollen. Having more frequent showers will help wash away the trapped pollen, and reduce your constant exposure.

Typical hay fever symptoms include an itchy runny nose, sneezing, itchy and watery eyes, and a tickly and scratchy throat – all of which generally get worse when you go outside! The main culprit is introduced perennial ryegrass, which produces masses of wind-blown pollen from about September right through to February.

Symptoms vary widely, from mild to more debilitating. Asthma, for example, can be triggered or made worse by a pollen allergy. Be aware if this is the case for you or a family member, and get prepared with the recommended medications.

• Avoid the outdoors between 5am and 10am as this is when pollen is released.

• Rinsing your sinus passages with a saline wash can wash away trapped pollen.

• Try to keep your windows closed at night to avoid pollen being blown inside your home.

Here at Clive’s Chemist we make it our mission to help you get back to a life without those annoying symptoms.

We have the allergy experts to help create your optimum spring survival solution, tailored to manage or eliminate your allergies!

Get in touch with us today – come in for a chat.

Board games inspire togetherness

By Megan Connolly

“It’s about connecting with real people and getting away from a screen,” is what the Board Game group, that meets every Tuesday night at the Community Hub Library, says.

The group gathers from 5pm until around 10pm to play all sorts of different board games together.

Some you might never have heard of.

All ages are welcome and board games are provided.

But the most important part is that you’re okay with losing.

The group started with only a

handful of interested members a year ago but it soon outgrew its meeting spot in Kotuku Cafe and at a member’s living room.

Now the group is large enough that they have moved to a more central place, the library, and hoping this will bring out more of the community.

“The idea is there are no screen’s, it’s very social. It helps introverts become more comfortable and out of their shells,” an original member, Axl Scott, says.

New member Kate Barker recently moved to the area but heading along to the board game group has helped her make friends

and meet more members of the community.

“There’s something for everyone to get into whether you like the slightly more complex games or more traditional ones,” Kate says.

Rob Rangi is an original member of the group and brings along many of his own games he’s collected over the years.

There are generally three types of people who play board games,” Rob says.

“You play to win, you play to play and socialise, or you play for the strategising.

“Win or lose you have fun,” he adds.

Youth shape up for Beauty and the Beast Full dress rehearsals are underway, and scenery and props are being finalised, for what is certainly the Wainuiomata Youth Theatre Group’s most bold offering to date: a youth version of the Disney Broadway musical Beauty and the Beast.

The cast of 20 is made up of Wainuiomata children playing over 40 characters, meaning most are

playing more than one part. This also means lightning-fast costume changes are required in the wings.

“We’re extremely lucky the parents of our cast are willing to lend a hand to almost anything that is asked of them, including working in the wings during the show otherwise it wouldn’t be possible,” set designer/builder and stage manager for the show, Jeremy Yuile says.

Tickets to the show cost $5 each and go on sale in September. These are available through the Acting Out NZ Facebook page (www.facebook. com/actingoutnz/) and can also be purchased from Clive’s Chemist, Queen Street, Wainuiomata.

Showtimes: Thursday, October 3 7pm, Friday, Oct 3 7pm, Saturday October 5 2pm and 7pm, Sunday October 2pm.

Scooteroos take on the town

By Megan Connolly

Scooteroos, a mobile scooter group, were out in the sun last week for their monthly meet up.

The group provides companionship, information and assistance for anyone who owns a mobility scooter or needs assistance walking.

It is an opportunity for the likeminded to get out as a group and explore the town. Once a month Scooteroos meet for lunch.

The next meeting is on Wednesday, September 25 from 10.30 to 11.30am at the Community Hub Library.

Local mobile scooter group, The Scooteroos, were out in force last Wednesday morning.

Community social services workers call for equal pay

Hutt City Chorale ‘Spring Rhapsody’ concert. Music from 17th-20th centuries.

Conductor David Beattie, Accompanist Phillip O’Malley with guest artists.

Saturday 14th September 2019 2.30 pm, Chilton St James School Hall Foyer, 124 Waterloo Rd, LH. Tickets $20.00, $15.00 concession.

Staff at prominent not-for-profit organisations say they are paid less than they deserve because they are mostly women.

Public Service Association members at social service providers Barnados, Wellington Sexual Abuse HELP, Christchurch Methodist Mission, Stand for Children and Ngapuhi Iwi Social Services have filed equal pay claims with their employers, arguing their work is undervalued and urgently in need of more funding.

Social service providers currently receive the majority of their funding from the government, with private donations covering the shortfall.

Jacqueline Aberdein-Tapuai is a local school social worker, a PSA union delegate and a mother of four teenage children.

She loves her job and feels respected by her employer, but says she struggles to afford school fees on her income.

“I’m a qualified and registered social worker with a Master’s degree, I’m responsible for more than 600 kids, and I earn about the same amount as I did twenty years ago working in a frontline role for a bank,” she says.

“I went into this profession to help my community, not to get rich, but after seven years on the job, I’m still paid at a graduate level. If my work is undervalued, it makes me worry about the people I help aren’t properly valued either.”

Every one of Jacqueline’s immediate colleagues are women, as were 83.8 per cent of registered social workers in 2018.

A wealth of evidence has emerged from the previous Oranga Tamariki case indicating the entire social work profession is undervalued based on gender, not just by particular employers.

Jacquline says significant pay disparities exist in the community social services sector, between those employed by different organisations and within the workplace between different roles.

A community NGO social worker typically earns about $50,000 a year, substantially less than those with the same qualifications are paid elsewhere to perform similar tasks - often while working alongside their lower-paid counterparts.

“I don’t think people know what it’s like, they assume we’re quite well paid,” Jacqueline says.

OUT&about

Younger students from Konini Primary were bussed to the top of the hill but were still able to join in by walking down the hill.

Konini students head to the hills With the development by the Hutt City Council of the fabulous walkway over Wainuiomata Hill, Konini Primary School students decided it would be a great event for the school to walk to Pukeatua Hill Lookout and back last Friday.

The walk was a great opportunity to raise some money for a new playground at the school.

Hutt City Council kindly helped by providing buses for the youngest students to take them to the top so they could walk down, while the

senior students made the climb and return walk.

Parents and whanau joined the school on the hikoi and everyone appreciated the beautiful view at the top.

“Thanks for all the toots of support from passing motorists,” the principal, Andrea Scanlan says.

While the students are still collecting money from sponsors, the school has already received over $1000 and is very grateful for the generosity shown by whanau and community.

SPORT Sports talk

with Jacob Page

This is the Summer of Ben Stokes It’s been one of those English summers hasn’t it?

I say that knowing full well they probably have not had one this good in their history.

And it’s all thanks to a Kiwi in Ben Stokes.

That’s a slight right jab at our friends from the motherland but this has been the summer of Stokes.

While they didn’t win the Cricket World Cup, - they didn’t, they didn’t, they didn’t, it was Stokes who got them to the tie.

Who would have thought, the man born in Christchurch could top that feat within a matter of two months but that’s what he did with his unbeaten 135 in the third Ashes test last week.

Yes, he had help from a stub-

born No 11 Jack Leach and another terrible missed decision from Joel Wilson to achieve one of the most dramatic test wins in recent memory but it was deserved.

It seems like no matter how poorly the English play, no matter the injury to James Anderson, the poor form from captain Joe Root or the out of this world bat-

ting from his Aussie counterpart Steve Smith, it seems 2019 was and is destined to be one for the English.

The cricketing gods seem determined to give them and their fans all their hearts desire.

I will freely admit, I’m still a little sour on the World Cup “loss” and I use that term as loosely as possible but at least now the

Aussies know a similar pain.

It appears only Smith stands between the English and the most stunning Ashes win since 2005 and as amazing as that series was 14 years ago, the 2019 edition is already close to eclipsing it.

There will be more sleepless nights to come watching this series and it will be worth it.

Luka captains Niue

By Megan Connolly

Local resident Luka Gibb headed to Papua New Guinea, Port Moresby, recently to compete in the Oceania Rugby Championships captaining the Niue Rugby team.

Niue has been out of the rugby scene for about eight years but now they are now under new management they have reignited the team to compete in the tournament.

Luka was captain at their last campaign and jumped at the opportunity to lead the team again as well as represent his nation, for the eight-day competition.

The Niue team was made up of players around New Zealand, Australia and Niue.

It was also their first time meeting and playing together.

The Championship finished with Nuie taking second overall, losing to the experienced Papua New Guinea team.

Overall the Niue team won two out of the three games played over the eight days.

The Papua New Guinea’s backline was made up of their national 7’s team who compete in the IRB 7s world circuit.

The top two will qualify for the next tier games which will be with Samoa, Tonga and Fiji next year.

Niue game scores: Solomon island 19 - 17 (Won); Nauru 86 - 5 (Won); Papua New Guinea 29 - 10 (Lost)
