True and proud Trevor Mallard is pleased with the Hutt South election results that enabled him to hold onto his local MP position, and sends a massive thanks to those who stuck with him and stayed loyal through this campaign.

While John Key and the National Party returned as leaders of the country, the win saw the Labour candidate overcome his National Party counterpart Chris Bishop.

His electorate had one of the highest total voting percentages in country, with just under 95 per cent of its people registered.

Three years ago Trevor won the elec-tion by a margin of almost 5000, but he believes boundary changes earlier this year made it a much closer fi ght; with him only winning by 378 votes.

Trevor says while election night was understandably “tense,” he is pleased with the result and support shown by

locals – even with it being a very mixed campaign.

While there are still 3900 special votes in the Hutt South electorate still to be counted, he is positive not a lot will change. Offi cial results will be declared on October 4.

He says next on the list is swinging the people who voted for the other parties back around to voting for the Labour party.

Following election night, Labour has a

total of 32 seats in Parliament. Labour also recorded about 25 per cent of the country’s votes, while National won with a total of about 48 per cent.

Trevor is a true local, residing in Wai-nuiomata and supporting a number of Hutt causes, as well as backing the local rugby club.

The folk at Wainuiomata Little Theatre are excited to bring another big musical to Wainuiomata later this year.

After the success of Jesus Christ Superstar in May, the cast and crew did not want to stop and are now proud to present its production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat.

The production will be a true feast of comedy, colour, and dreams coming true playing at the Moohan Street Theatre in November.

Rehearsals for the spectacle are already in full swing and the majority of the cast and crew reside in the valley. Despite this, organisers say they are always looking for more people to join the theatre group.

“We have been so impressed with the local talent who auditioned for Joseph,” says Barry Paterson, one of the show’s directors.

“Our children’s choir has been par-ticularly amazing, keeping the adult cast members on their toes,” he says.

Joseph and the Amazing Techni-colour Dreamcoat tells the story of Joseph and his eleven brothers who, being jealous of Joseph, try to get rid of him. What follows is a roller coaster

ride of song and dance and an inspiring overall message of love and family.

Wainuiomata Little Theatre is passionate about providing

local residents and families an entertainment option with big, well known musicals.

The production will open on November 5 and run for

10 shows until November 15. Tickets will be available

from late September at Clive’s Chemist on Queen Street.

Our region’s best

Going above what is expected of them has allowed fi ve Hutt Valley residents to stand out from the crowd.

Judy Bishop, Vijay Chhika, Joan Hewson and Patricia McGreevy were recognised with Hutt City’s highest commendation – a Civic Honour Award last week, and Wainuiomata’s Teuila Sagaga picked up the Youth Services Award.

The awards, drawn from community nomi-nations and presented by Mayor Ray Wallace, rewarded people that have and continue to make a signifi cant voluntary contribution to their local communities and organisations.

Those recognised were people from all spheres of the community and who go above and beyond what would normally be expected of them in society.

Teuila is humbled by the award and recogni-tion from people around her.

“I was stunned when I got the email telling me I had been selected. At the time, I was overseas and was not expecting it, but it’s great,” Teuila says.

The young Wainuiomata resident has been part of the community her entire life. While she was nominated by her playcentre co-workers Faith Tupou and Vicky Johansen, that’s not all she does in the community.

Teuila also helps out with the Ulalei Wai-nuiomata Netball as a committee member, as well as being part of the Hutt Valley Netball Umpires Association; all while studying education and cultural anthropology.

“It was amazing to be recognised for what I do, especially because I wasn’t expecting it,” Teuila says.

Since the 1970s, Judy Bishop has used her fi nancial management skills to benefi t

organisations like East Harbour Plunket and East Harbour Red Cross. She is known as a person who, ‘enhances the lives of the people in her community’ with her leader-ship local groups.

In the wider Hutt community she has fundraised for Te Omanga Hospice for over 10 years.

Vijay Chhika rose to the top of his chosen sport, Taekwondo, but continues to share his expertise freely with his community.

He shares his passion as a teacher and mentor at Capital City Taekwondo Club in Avalon and through other sports ventures like hockey and as a founding member of the Hutt Valley Indian Sports Club.

Joan Hewson is part of a group she is committed to – for the betterment of the club and the community it serves.

She has volunteered extensively for Rotary since 1981 and for Petone Rugby and Cricket and Britannia House Friends for more than 30 years.

From 1981, Patricia McGreevy has served her community as a Justice of the Peace and was made a life member of the Hutt Valley and Districts JPs Association for

her services. Recipients of Hutt City Civic Honor

Awards receive a badge, medallion and certifi cate to commemorate their accom-plishments.

In the health and wellbeing sector, the Common Unity Project Aotearoa picked up its second win, with heart kids and NZ Council of Victim Support Groups � nishing close behind.In the arts and culture � eld, Faultline Chorus got top spot and Tumeke Taita was runner up; and Friends of Waiwhetu Stream were named winners for the heritage and environment sector. Volunteer Hutt – Youth Programme won the highest award in education and child/youth development, with Naenae Youth Charitable Trust � nishing as runner up.

Discussions with political parties this year has seen most turn against a takeover-style amalgamation – agreeing that residents of each council should have the right to choose to be in or out of regional pro-posals, according to the Local Democracy Coalition (LDC).

“It’s fi nally becoming clear to politicians that amalgamation may not make things better, and that local residents often don’t want it for good reasons,” says LDC spokesperson and Lower Hutt Mayor Ray Wal-lace.

Most major parties earlier this year acknowledged that

Carrots, beans, and potatoes have become part of the day-to-day focus of children at Pukeatua Primary School, especially after it was accepted into the Garden

To Table Project.The project is sponsored by The

Warehouse through The Tindall Foundation, which provides chil-dren with opportunities to develop hands on learning focused on life skills, environmental awareness

and community engagement.Staff members Kirstin

Jones-Elms and Crissie Lightfoot from The Ware-house in Wainuiomata vis-ited the school recently, presenting the students with equipment that will help enhance learning in both the kitchen and the garden.

Deputy principal Topsy Remuera is excited about the positive relationship that has been formed.

Members of the commu-nity have already given sup-port in a number of ways – wood, plants and horse manure have been donated to the school-based project.

Through the project, stu-dents are also given the op-portunity to cook using the produces they have grown and harvested from the school’s cultural and com-munity garden – a garden that was established earlier this year.

“I love it! It lets us do things that usually adults do…I’ve never gardened before and I’ve learnt heaps,”

says Pukeatua student Adam Odeyemi.

“It’s great to use stuff from our garden in our cooking – it makes it cheaper to do,” he says.

A market-styled vegetable garden is currently under construction at the school, and the school is pushing for more members of the community to get involved.

The garden development and ma intenance pro -grammes help grow the stu-dents’ knowledge, skills and confi dence in planting and gardening. It also develops a practical understanding of environmental sustain-ability.

“I look forward to every Tuesday. I use some of the skills and recipes we do at home and my family love it,” says student Paris Haere-Metuangoro.

“Gardening would be my favourite part…lots of hands on learning, working with whanau and people from our community of Wainuio-mata,” she says.

an amalgamation is not the best way to improve local government; and are often not warranted, says Mayor Wallace.

Proposals from the Local Government Commission (LGC) have seen a majority of the parties agree to change the law so residents can vote to keep their local council.

While the National Party are picking up a groundswell of concern about the issue and they do not personally support forced amalgamation, this has not yet resulted in a commit-ment from it to change the law.

Mayor Wallace says that

despite the swing in political sentiment, voters should still choose parties and candidates that have stated they want to change the law so amalgama-tion cannot be forced on any community.

“The election vote may be the only vote people will ever get to stop their community from being absorbed into a supercity,” he says.

The current law allows a referendum on an amalgama-tion proposal but the vote is taken across the entire region and residents of each council will not have the right to retain their independence if outvoted.

Those a little less-fortunate received a warm and helping hand from a group of dedicated, Hutt Valley knitters and quilters recently.

The New Settlers Group, which is open to women throughout the Hutt Valley and Welling-ton regions who are new to the country, created 56 quilts for families living in the Chebouche village surroundings near Nepal. The package also included a few knitted jumpers and scarves for children.

Group facilitator Pauline Cave says it took the group most of this year to complete their sections of the project, as the ladies only met once a week.

“It’s about helping children that are vulnerable as well as helping their families.”

One of the members of the

group also has a special con-nection to the project, with the Chebouche village being her village.

Family Works lead and acting manager for Wairarapa and Hutt Valley practices, Nici Nixon, says it was great to see the dif-ferent communities and different languages come together, and the quality of what was made was exceptional.

She says it is great because it helps them develop self-sustaina-bility while also having a project to share together.

All the wool and fabric was donated, and the group will be discussing its next project over the next few months.

Family Works is a family-focused social service agency that works alongside families to help meet diffi culties and make posi-tive changes, using the strengths and resources they already have.

Old books have been ex-changed into much needed funds for the Wainuiomata Vol-unteer Fire Brigade to support all that it does in and around the community.

A total of $4000 was fund-raised and given by the Rotary Club of Wainuiomata to the lo-cal fi re service – seeing $1500 going directly into the station, while $2500 went towards supplying essential equipment and gear to operational support.

Brigade member Dawn Otter says support is always needed, and in the past it has enabled the purchase of equipment and things for the station.

This round of funding was sourced from fundraisers run

by Rotary throughout the year, with the majority of it com-ing from its annual book fair. Rotary uses the fi re station for its regular meetings.

Club president David Otter was pleased to support the vol-unteer fi re brigade because of its presence in the community and all that it does.

The support that was given to operational support was in the form of $2500 worth of gear which included a new genera-tor. A new aqua-vacuum was also purchased.

Last year, the Rotary Club raised about $1100 from the book fair, with funds distrib-uted around the community to worthy organisations.

“It helps us be more effi cient,” Dawn says.

An information evening to show students what career paths they could follow later in life saw more than 70 people turn up for advice – which pleased organisers from Wainuiomata Pasifi ka Education Success Initiative (WaiPESI).

The local organisation stepped up to help high school and in-termediate aged students last week, with students opened up to information from places such as the army, navy, airforce, WelTec, and Victoria University.

Yvonne Daymond, who is part of WaiPESI, says the night “went off with a bang.”

She says no information pro-vider was left standing idle, the students and families who came along to the event got involved and spoke with representatives from the industries on display, and left with information on what to do next.

“Interestingly, the defence force

had never been to Wainuiomata to provide information to our high school students, so it was pleasing to be able to bring them into the community,” Yvonne says.

As another education focused event for the Wainuiomata com-munity, it follows on the heels of a

playdate hosted by the organisation in August. It also expands on the career and education services already provided by local schools.

The careers evening is set to become an annual event and next year’s will be held on Tuesday, September 15.

We have two friendly pet brother rabbits who live happily with their cat kitty and foxy cross dog peanut. They run free around our fully fenced rabbit proof section and have done for

the past three years. Sadly early hours this

morning a dog jumped over our fence and mauled our little Thumps. Wainuio-mata what is wrong with our pet owners!!

These beautiful animals are part of our families and too some idiots they’re just treated unfairly and abused. They’re helpless and rely on

their owners to show them whats right and wrong and need love and attention just like our children.

Recently there have been increases in thefts from vehicles and vehicles being stolen in Wainuiomata. Please remember to keep your keys with you. Keep spare keys at home or work, and don’t hide a spare key on the car - thieves will fi nd it. Always lock your car, including the boot and, if applicable, the sunroof. Park in busy, open, well-lit areas, or use an attended, secure parking building if possible. If you keep your car in a garage, ensure it and the car is locked.

Protect your car contents. Don’t leave things on display, and keep valuables (money, mobile phone, cheques, credit cards) on you or at home - not in the glove box or under a seat. Keep bags, luggage, coats, etc, locked out of sight in the boot. Keep a record of car stereo serial numbers.

You can also install a car alarm and elec-tronic engine immobiliser (which prevents the vehicle from being started), and use a steering wheel club or lock, lockable fuel cap and wheel nuts. Etch your registration or Vehicle Identifi cation Number (VIN) on windows, windscreens and headlights, or have your vehicle sprayed with microdot identifi cation.

We now have 29 neighbourhood support groups in Wainuiomata with a recent

addition of 24 households joining from Newburn Gr, Naseby Gr, and Burden Ave.

We are in the process of forming groups in Enfi eld Rd, Lees Gr, Dover Rd, Dunn St and Fraser St. If you are interested in joining one of these groups please let me know.

Junior Neighbourhood Support has two members Arakura School and Fernlea School and the aim of this scheme is to promote a sense of pride, safety and com-munity spirit in children, their schools and their wider community. There is no cost to schools and can be incorporated into their existing reward scheme.

In July and again in August, meetings were hosted by the chief fi re offi cer from Wainuiomata volunteer fi re service.

Recently one of our members notifi ed the police when he saw two males acting suspiciously on his neighbour’s property. This led to their arrest as they were attempt-ing to break into another property. This is a great result and demonstrates how effective neighbourhood support can be.

Wainuiomata Neighbourhood Support was nominated by a Street Contact for a 2014 Hutt City Community Award. The ceremony was held on Tuesday, September 16, at Silverstream Retreat.

Ten neighbourhood support members have volunteered for civil defence training which commences in October.

Months of planning and preparing and here we are in Shanghai ready to start.

Arriving in Shanghai was amazing. The city is simply huge and the day is clear of smog. Following the debriefi ng we see a total of 27 travellers and 13 cars, and there’s an air of anticipation.

With introductions done and meeting our translator, Charlie, we head off for the driv-ers’ test and license because international licenses mean nothing.

We line up and have all the necessary forms stamped jumping through all the hoops along the way. And while at no stage is there ever any reference to driving or road skills or competence, we fi nally ‘pass’ our license.

After a day of rest, the group are off to get the cars, however when we arrive at the port, we were quickly ‘exported’ out. Most of the team were confi ned to the bus, and only three of us allowed back in. All the

ALL LINED UP: The classic cars waiting to be inspected. Photo: Supplied.

Noeline and Ron Stewart are currently somewhere between Shanghai and London – driving a 1967 Peugeot as part of a classic car rally. In between the busy yet exciting events, Noeline found time to share this with the Wainuiomata News:

cars intact so we started to unpack them. Most were okay but some had flat

batteries, and the Peugeot had a flat front tyre. But we got them all out of the containers and lined up.

The next challenge was the authorities, and despite all paper work being done, they simply don’t understand classic cars. They do follow the rule book.

Each number had to be found for the chassis and engine, and then someone comes along to take a stencilled copy of each number – if the number for some design reason is not accessible for that process, it fails.

By now there are 23 inspectors involved from three different customs depart-ments. All the cars failed in some way, so the cars were put back into the containers.

With Thursday here, we fi nally have the cars out and, with our licenses and number plates we all go in convoy to the testing station for a couple to get WOFs – with the hope to fi nally start the tour soon.

The cars all eventually set off but we’ll leave that for another instalment coming soon.

Nominations for next year’s head students are in full swing at Wainuiomata High School, and while Simon Cowell won’t feature in the judging line-up, the selection process will be taken seriously by staff members and students.

Students have been rushing through the school offi ce to pick up nomination forms to cast their say on who should occupy the roles of head and deputy head boy/girl, all before the closing date on October 13.

As the High School is the only one in Wainuiomata, 2014’s head girl Anchal Singh says it is important to have senior student representatives because they are not only leaders in the school, but leaders in the community.

“Students need people to look up to; people who are on top of things and thrive and aspire to make a difference, not only within the school but are willing to go out for the community,” Anchal says.

Each year, head students get behind activities including Valentine’s Day, spirit week, student council meetings. They also have a role to play in the 40 hour famine and get to visit parliament for things such as the Global Leadership Convention.

“People will look up to you from other schools, from everywhere. Not just in Wainuiomata. It’s about representing the school well. You’d be surprised who has their eyes on you,” Anchal says.

Following nominations, candidates will be invited to speak at a senior and

junior assembly in the lead up to students voting (year nine to 12) on October 16. Shortlisting will start from October 21, and interviews with those who make the cut will be on October 23.

Head students for the 2015 school year will be announced on November 6.

“It was quite easy in the beginning, it does get quite hectic when having so many things going on at once and trying to con-vince people to tag along and participate, and of course not everything has been successful and not everything we wanted to do has been done; but all in all it has been so much fun,” Anchal says.

“It’s been great getting to work with oth-ers and become close to more people and getting to see the school from a different perspective…Best year I’ve probably had at school,” she says.

Anchal is urging potential representatives to accept the challenge and use it to make a difference at school.

“I didn’t even think I’d get it but I wanted to make my mark on the school so badly, I wanted to make a difference,” Anchal says.

She recommends year 12 students to nominate themselves or someone they think will do well in the position, even if they don’t believe they’ll get it.

“If you don’t get it, you won’t be the only one but you will be recognised of wanting to be a leader in the school,” she says.

Anchal says all these extra things students do will become CV and university gold, especially if they have an interest to apply for scholarships after leaving school.

Hunt on for next head students

Ki O Rahi comes to Wainuiomata

Who has got the strength?

By Dan Whitfi eld

Jake Whitaker will be focus-ing his efforts on becoming better than he has even been, with the idea of sharpening his skills over the next few weeks ahead of the New Zealand Moto Trial Championship in October.

The seven-time former and current national champion is looking for another title to follow on from a dominating victory in rounds seven and eight of the North Island series – a competition which saw him ride in his own backyard.

Jake will be riding his new Gas Gas 300 in October’s com-petition, but until then will be training hard learning to better handle the bike’s more aggres-sive power.

The Wainuiomata rider says the change to the Gas Gas bike has been really smooth so far and is absolutely amazing to ride.

“I’m extremely happy with its

performance. It has exceeded all expectations,” he says.

Jake says it is the fi rst trials bike he has felt that is ready to compete on at a high level straight out of the box. “Power delivery of the engine is some-thing you have to experience to believe,” he says.

The 2014 New Zealand Moto Trials Championship will be held in Nelson over three days, starting on October 25.

The first stage of the event will be at Drummond Farm on Riwaka Valley Rd. Day two and three will be held at Hickmontt Farm on Riwaka-Kaiteriteri Rd.

It is being hosted by Nelson Motorcycle Club.

Jake is looking forward to the training over the next couple of weeks, practicing on his own circuit at his Wainuiomata home.

Whitaker aims for another national title

The Wellington Phoenix have con� rmed that they will play three A-League matches at Hutt City’s Hutt Recreation Ground and create a tempo-rary stadium to do it. The Phoenix season in Febru-ary and March 2015 will be disrupted by the Cricket World Cup, which takes out a number of stadiums in New Zealand, in-cluding Wellington’s Westpac Stadium. The problem will be solved by the Phoenix building a temporary stadium at Hutt Recreation Ground, in conjunc-tion with Hutt City Council. Matt Reid, general manager community services says that the Phoenix coming to town will be a fantastic opportunity for the local community to be

part of something special. “Lower Hutt is set to be ‘the’ place for local football fans early next year. “We’ll not only showcase our city and our premier ground, Hutt Rec’, but we’ll give our community the opportunity to engage with some of their heroes. “We’ll work closely with the Phoenix to get players out to schools and the wider commu-nity which will add to the buzz these games will generate in our city.“We’re equally committed to working with regular users of the ground to ensure any dis-ruption is kept to a minimum during this time as we make the most of this exciting trio of � xtures.”

David Dome, Wellington Phoe-nix general manager says: “The Club and the Hutt City Council are aligned in the vision of these games being a fantas-tic community day out with activities for families, cultural groups and demonstrations and all sorts of entertainment. “The ground will have a maxi-mum 9000 capacity, which is likely to sell out given the novelty factor and what we have planned.“Season ticket holders and club members will get first crack at tickets for the three matches.“A lot of credit has to go to the Hutt City Council in their will-ingness to take these games on and build something really special around these matches.”

Georgina Cox has fi nished off a very successful season by taking out the Round the Hills race on Saturday, repre-senting her club Wainuiomata Harriers.

While this was the fi nal race of the season for the club’s runners, and con-sidering the torrential rain and very cold conditions, most of the senior athletes competed.

The race takes runners and walkers up into the firebreaks from Upper Fitzherbert Rd, around the top of Wainuiomata Hill Rd, then back down into Wainuiomata to Wise St.

The challenging, undulating course was made even more so this year, with athletes having to negotiate literal streams of water that were running down the hills they were trying to run up.

It was a handicap race, meaning

athletes started at different times based on their ability and fi tness levels, with the idea that everyone should cross the fi nish line at the same time.

This is diffi cult to achieve at the best of times, and with the weather playing a huge role in people’s times, most of them finished within 10 minutes of each other.

Georgina was not only fi rst across the line, but also posted the fastest actual time for the women.

The fi rst walker across the line was Karen Forsyth, and Joel Carman was the fi rst male that fi nished.

Georgina also represented Wellington at the recent New Zealand Road Run-ning Championships in Tauranga. This was her fi rst time running for the pro-vincial team, and managed to fi nish in second place. Her team also placed 2nd.
