Holiday programme a success

Continued from page 1.By Nikki Papatsoumas

Wellington South Kindergarten head teacher Donna Maher, also served as head teacher of the holiday programme.

Also helping for the October pro-gramme were Wellington Kinder-garten Association teachers Garth Armstrong and Nga Ropu.

Donna says the service was origi-nally designed for families in the community but because of its popu-larity has extended into the greater southern community also.

She says the children love the chance to attend during the school holidays.

“They love it because we say it’s a holiday programme the children feel like they are going on holiday.”

Donna says the programme is not dissimilar to the kindergartens regular programme.

“Because it is new teachers and new children, we assess how things are going. We work to what suits the children.”

She says it can be challenging work-ing with children who are not used to the new environment, but things tend to run smoothly.

Marketing and communications spokesperson for Wellington Kin-dergarten Association Kim Meo says the programme was born after they

realised there was a demand for it.“It was really in demand so we decided to

give it a go. It has worked really well from both perspectives.”

She says they are few similar programmes in Wellington and because of the programmes success they are now looking at rolling it out in other areas around Wellington.

Light Party

By Nikki PapatsoumasFrom humble beginnings Bao-

bab Café in Newtown reached a milestone last week, celebrating fi ve successful years of business.

Baobab Café is owned by New-town locals Gabe and Rachel Johnston, both of whom come from a hospitality background and have always dreamed big.

Opening in 2008 in the former Ma’a Nonu house on Riddiford Street, the original space seated just 24 people.

It has now grown into what its owners describe as a “com-munity hub”, and is one of the largest of its kind in the area.

After undergoing two major expansions over the past five years, Baobab Café is now not only a café, but also a restau-rant and bar, complete with an outdoor seating area that hosts some of Newtown’s best events, bands and functions.

Rachel says when they opened they wanted to focus on creat-ing a point of difference for themselves.

“We offer something different from other cafes, we try to have a good balance of veggie options. We like to challenge ourselves to have something interesting for everyone.”

The fi rst major change came for the café when they decided to convert their overgrown and

unused backyard into an outdoor dining space, which now seats 50 people.

“We would always look over the fence and joke about it,” Rachel says.

“We always thought it would be a great space for the com-munity to come and hang out.”

As the café grew in popularity, the couple seized the opportu-nity to double the size of their indoor space, and when the shop next door moved out they cut a hole in the wall.

“We were always open to

anything, we saw a lot of op-portunities and took them when they arose,” Rachel says.

Gabe says after fi ve years they have had a lot of time to refl ect on their journey, which has not always been a breeze.

“It’s been a long hard journey but we feel this huge sense of satisfaction. We have done something pretty significant for the community. We have become a real community hub.

“We have created a place where everyone is comfortable and it appeals to a wide range

of people.”Gabe and Rachel explain their

success as “more than they could ask for.”

They say many things contrib-ute to their success, including great staff and loyal customers.

“We are hands-on owners who have got to know our customers and formed good relationships with the community,” Rachel says.

“We want to make people feel welcome, it’s a relaxed warm inviting environment.”

Gabe Johnston, Isaiah Johnston, Sairee Johnston and Rachel Johnston are celebrating fi ve years of business.

Local cafe celebrates success

Wellington residents using various bus, train and harbour ferry services will have noticed a small increase in fares since the beginning of the month.

Those paying for fares with stored value cards, such as Snapper, school term passes and rail and harbour monthly passes will have seen an in-crease of around 2.5 per cent since October 1.

Greater Wellington Regional Council (GWRC) say most

cash fares will not change, aside from a 50 cent increase for services travelling to zone eight (Wellington-Paekakariki, May-morn, Wellington-Featherston and Wellington to Woodside).

Those using the Airport Flyer and midnight bus services will see no change in the price of their fares.

GWRC says the fare increase is to cover rising public trans-port costs and to ensure the fares contribute around 55 per

cent of overall day to day costs.The remainder of the costs is

paid for through regional rates and taxes.

Last year, the Regional Council adopted a five-year programme in regards to fare increases, ensuring that over that time period all fares would increase by the same percent-age over the length of the programme.

It says this structure ensures evenness and fairness over

the fi ve-year programme and allows for small regular fare increases, rather than much larger intermittent increases.

Bus fares increaseA record number of special votes –

already well over 1300 in total – and a busy day on Friday in the voting offi ce indicates that voter turnout in Wel-lington is likely to be higher than in a number of recent local-body elections.

As of Friday afternoon more than 37% of voters had returned their papers – about 2% ahead of totals at the same time in 2010 and 2007.

Wellington Electoral Officer Charlie Inggs says it appears likely that the voting turnout percentage total for this year could be “in the low to mid 40s”.

By Nikki PapatsoumasAround 30 children helped

build a cardboard box fort to protect Island Bay from an angry group of attacking pirates last week.

“Box + Kid = Fort” a school holiday activity held at libraries

and community centres around Wellington, was held at the Island Bay Community Centre last Wednesday.

Armed with cardboard swords and telescopes, children were divided into teams of builders and decorators and worked

together to build a monster fort.Team member customer ser-

vice for Kilbirnie Library Ottilie Smith and Island Bay Com-munity Centre Advocate Lisa Cunningham also read stories to the children and encouraged them to design their own castles

and fortresses.Children were invited to bring

along an old blanket, to be gifted to the Wellington SPCA in preparation for their move to their new premises at the old Fever Hospital site in Mount Victoria.

Lisa says she couldn’t have hoped for the day to have gone any better.

“It’s exciting. It ignites the imagination and brings in the power of books as well with the ideas of what a castle is.”

Pharmacy looking forward to move

By Nikki PapatsoumasKilbirnie Pharmacy has grown

up and grown tall, and are looking forward to moving into bigger and brighter shop later this month.

Kilbirnie Pharmacy has been in business since WWII, fi rst located on the corner of Coutts Street and Onepu Road before moving to the Bay Road premises in 1975.

Geoff Kiddle and Pam Bremford have owned the pharmacy since 2003, and say they have grown signifi cantly in the past 10 years.

“We have grown so much we have got to the stage where we are short on space,” Pam says.

They are now moving eight doors down, and are in the fi nal stages of renovating the site that used to house Price Busters.

Pam says it is exciting as it will give them the opportunity to do the things they have always wanted to do, which includes having a pharmacist on the fl oor at all times, and two consulta-tion rooms that will allow customers to talk in private.

Pharmacists will also be on hand to work with people on their pre-scriptions, in terms of compliance, helping them with thier medications and teaching them how to take them properly.

Their new store will be open seven days a week, and the store is de-

signed in such a way that access will be available from both Bay Road and Onepu Road.

The pair says they are now looking forward to opening their doors and showing off their fantastic new space to the com-munity they are involved with.

“We are really looking for-

ward to it now it’s been a great process and a bit of fun, we have thoroughly enjoyed ourselves,” Geoff says.

“It’s different it’s going to be a lovely shopping experience for the public. They are going to love it,” Pam adds.

A rowi kiwi sadly died last week at Wellington Zoo from a respira-tory tract infection.

The young bird was one of nine rowi sent to The Nest Te Kohanga by the Department of Conservation (DOC) in August for investigation of dermatitis.

While at the Zoo, these young kiwis contracted a respiratory infection. Eight of the birds died

from the infection last month.Wellington Zoo Veterinary Sci-

ence Manager Lisa Argilla said the Zoo is deeply saddened by the deaths.

“This little rowi was hanging in there – he was a real fi ghter, this bird. However he was in critical condition.

“We kept him as comfortable as possible while he was struggling

with the infection in his lungs, but sadly he didn’t make it.”

Dr Argilla has advised that a post-mortem was conducted which showed signs consistent with a respiratory tract infection.

Wellington Zoo and DOC are working together to share the learning from this case with other care providers.

Christmas!


By Nikki PapatsoumasLast Friday women from Curves

in Kilbirnie spent the day at the Warehouse in Lyall Bay collecting donations in support of Pink Rib-bon Day for Breast Cancer month.

Curves owner Lyn Smolenski has survived breast cancer, and for this reason says the annual appeal is close to her heart.

Surviving breast cancer is what encouraged Lyn to lead a healthier lifestyle and to open a Curves fran-chise in Kilbirnie, after moving to Wellington from Nelson.

Curves is open to women of all ages and offers a weight loss service and fi tness centre.

The fi tness centre offers 30 min-ute workouts that would take up to two hours to complete at other gyms.

“There are ladies who have never been to a gym before so it is ideal for fi rst time people, or those who may be suffering medical condi-tions.

“We have made so many changes to so many womens lives, it’s amazing.”

Lyn says so far this year, clients have managed to lose 300 kilo-grams of combined weight through following programmes to lead a healthier lifestyle.

Curves are currently offering ladies a free week trial to come in and give it a go and see if it works for them.

“If it isn’t for them no pressure but we do encourage women to come along and give it a try.

"We want to see ladies come in and feel comfortable, making a difference to their lives is our aim."

Lyn Smolenski, Aurea Canduela, Sandy Morrison, Angela Kesson and Trish Lavery collect donations for pink ribbon day last Friday.

Local business raises money for good cause

The Cancer Society lists the following symptoms associ-ated with breast cancer:• Presence of a lump or thicken-ing in the breast;• Swelling, dimpling, redness, or soreness of skin;

• Change in shape or appear-ance of the nipple; andNipple discharge.• A physician should be con-sulted if they persist. It is important to note, however, that these symptoms may be

caused by factors unrelated to cancer. Most breast cancers are detected on mammograms before any symptoms appear. Supplied by:www.cancer-quest.org/breast-cancer-symp-toms-

LETTERS to the editor

Dear Editor, Glad to see Christine Swift's

and Patrick Morgan's Oct. 7 letters responses to my Sep. 30 letter; but they don't fully answer my complaint. And though Ms Swift also included some humour, I'm sure her teasing was good-natured: I've always thought her a right-thinking, decent woman with whose views I rarely disagree! It's true that, in Miramar, those

cyclists who break the law are mainly children and adoles-cents riding either half-size or adult-size bikes along the footpaths; and I suspect the exception for "small wheels" probably means only those "juvenile" bikes of quarter-size. Further, the volume of motor- traffi c in this suburb's streets is mostly no serious danger to cyclists of any age; but local youngsters seem to

think they are free to ride on either roadway or footpath as a right, since nobody ever tries to tell them they mustn't ride along the footpaths. But I can assure Ms Swift that I have also been narrowly missed by adult push-bikers on the footpaths of the CBD's "golden mile", in Lambton Quay and Manners Street - I didn't say it was only in Miramar. I must also tell Mr Morgan that the

absence of a cycle-path is never a justifi cation for riding bikes along a footpath. If a cyclist is scared of motor-traffi c where there's no cycle-path, he/she should dismount, and wheel his/her bike along the footpath or alongside that stretch of roadway (which might not have a footpath).

Still confused...


By Nikki PapatsoumasNoah is a two week old medium cross

breed puppy that is currently being fostered by staff at Wellington SPCA.

Volunteer programme lead for the Wel-lington SPCA Kirsty Grant says Noah was picked up after some kids in Wainuiomata had been caught handing him and two other puppies in his litter out on the street.

“We managed to rescue Noah, but we don’t know what happened to the other two.”

Noah was one of the many dogs who were blessed at a special ceremony at the Wel-lington Cathedral of Saint Paul on Saturday.

The blessing of the animals, which was held in conjunction with Wellington SPCA and the Cathedral, was a celebration of the life of St Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals.

Animals were blessed by the priest in charge, and there was also an SPCA animal adoption event, and competitions for best dressed, best trick and cutest small dog.

The blessing was the first of its kind in Wellington, although there have been animal blessings for the congregation previously.

“It was a great opportunity to celebrate animals and what we do here at the SPCA, and get animals together,” Kirsty says. Two week old Noah was blessed at a service at Wellington Cathedral of Saint Paul on Saturday.

Historical Society looking to expandBy Nikki Papatsoumas

The Island Bay Historical Society are looking to expand, by adding more mem-bers to their society.

Currently the society has eight commit-tee members however, they say an ideal number would be 10. They are also looking to expand the number of members on their mailing list which currently sits at 100.

Member Gill Ryrie says committee membership is open to anyone that would be keen to offer their services on a Friday, and have an interest in the history of the area.

“New blood is always helpful and it’s ideal for anybody who has interesting things to share.

“We are all just ordinary people, we are all just amateurs and volunteers who have an interest in this stuff.”

Gill and her husband David have been members since the society was formed in 2004.

They originally met at the Home of Compassion before moving to the Island Bay Community Centre in 2010, a move Gill says was of benefi t to them.

She says they now have anywhere between six and 12 visitors on their open days which run on a Friday at the community centre between 10am and 2pm.

The society collect, share and make records of current history in the area, which

they source from a variety of places including newspapers, magazines, donated writings and diaries. They then fi le them away into folders and boxes with a typed list of contents.

Anyone who is interested in becom-ing a member of the Southern Bays Historical Society should call Cynthia Coomber on 383 9202 or email [email protected]

By Nikki PapatsoumasWellington based Infi nite dance crew will

spend the week competing against 14 other countries to take the top spot at this year’s world champs.

The Hip Hop Unite World Championships will run this week in Serbia, and after placing third at last year’s competition the crew are now looking to better their position.

The crew was formed in 2008 and is made up of 10 girls between the ages of 16 to 28.

This will be the fourth time they will have competed in the world champs, and after winning the New Zealand Nationals for the fourth consecutive time this year, coach Libby Calder says they crew are more prepared than ever for the world champs.

“We have learnt a lot every year we have been so we know now what to expect from the European teams,” she says.

“We want to bring something that’s a bit dif-ferent and has a unique New Zealand fl avour.”

Libby says they are feeling fairly confi dent, after receiving positive feedback from other

dancers in Wellington.She says they have also tried to incor-

porate judge’s feedback from this year’s nationals into their routine.

The crew has been working on their two minute long routine since June, and Libby says not many people are aware of how physical dancing is.

“Our two minute routine could be

compared to running a two minute sprint. We are ready to travel to the other side of the world and give every-thing for those two minutes.”

As soon as the girls land in Serbia they will begin training, and will even fi t in a training session between fl ights.

“We will be training every day, it’s intense it involves getting over jet lag

pretty quickly as well.”The crew will be one of the only full

team of girls competing, something that Libby believes gives them a real edge.

“It will give us an edge and a different quality, we can bring that attitude and have a real female presence on stage.”


By Nikki PapatsoumasPreparations for the annual Ten-

nyson Street Fair are in full swing.The Tennyson Street Fair, which

is in its second year, is a collabora-tion between Elim International Church and local organisations, schools and businesses.

Community liaison spokesper-son Kim Boyce-Campbell says a spring fair is something the church had been interested in doing for the past few years.

She says the area used to be mostly industrial, but is now dotted with apartments and the idea was to create something that would bring a sense of together-ness and belonging in the area.

“We were aware there were lots

of people living in the area, but no real sense of community or belonging.

“It is fi rst and foremost a fun event, but with the thinking be-hind it to build communities.”

The fair has been designed in such a way that there will points where people can come together naturally and meet and interact with each other as neighbours.

Kim says last year’s event was small, and was a great chance for them to test things out.

“This year we are closing half of the street down with two stages, market stalls, street performers and bouncy castles.”

There will be free emergency preparedness, sustainability, gar-

dening and craft and cooking workshops on the day as well as an opportunity to sign up for a neighbourhood support group.

There will also be a ‘top team’ competition and kid’s entertain-ment areas.

Kim says the fair’s success will not be measured in numbers.

“We measure the success of the fair in the little connections that happen during the day and the conversations between neigh-bours.”

The Tennyson Street Fair will run on Sunday October 20 from 10.30am until 4.30pm. For more information visit the Tennyson Street Fair Facebook page.

Professor Grant Guilford will take over as the next Vice-Chancellor and Chief Executive of Victoria University of Wellington, Chancel-lor Ian McKinnon announced last Wednesday.

Mr Guilford is currently the Dean of the Faculty of Sciences at the Uni-versity of Auckland and a member of the senior management team.

He has successfully led large and complex academic organisations such as the Institute of Veterinary, Animal and Biomedical Sciences at Massey University.

Chancellor McKinnon says Mr Guilford’s appointment will ben-efi t Victoria University’s impressive reputation.

“Professor Guilford will bring a wealth of leadership experience to Victoria. He is an outstanding aca-demic who has had a highly success-

ful career in research and teaching. The Council of Victoria University believes his experience, knowledge and leadership style are the right mix to continue Victoria’s proud tradition as an institute of academic standing with a world-class reputation.”

Mr Guilford follows-on from the current Vice-Chancellor, Profes-sor Pat Walsh, who has taken the University from strength to strength.

He says he is delighted with the op-portunity to lead such an outstanding university.

“Victoria University is a capital city university of global standing, with a clear commitment to excellence in research, teaching and public ser-vice, and a well-deserved reputation for leading thinking on major issues.

Mr Guilford will take up the posi-tion from March next year.

Trends Gifts located in the Johnsonville Shopping Centre ignore continuing to offer their ever-popular cake classes.

The cake classes are run three times a month, and offer people the chance to be tutored by professional cake decorator Pauline Nunns.

Classes teach students how to cover their cakes for a professional fi nish, how to make fl owers, and even how to model little animals.

Owner Vicky Brandt says the classes are open to people of all abilities, and have been very popular.

“People like the chance to be trained professionally. These classes are suitable for beginners.

A lot of people want to give cake making a try themselves, but they are a bit scared, that’s why we offer the classes - it isn’t as daunting.”

Vicky says it is amazing to see the results that beginners can come up with at the end of a class, with the guidance of a profes-sional.

She says over the past year cake making in general has grown much more popular because of television shows encouraging people to give it a go themselves.

Trends Gifts also carry a wide range of cake decoration supplies, and Vicky believes they are one of the best stockists in the Wellington region.

They also hire out a range of cake tins, and provide an edible image printing service.

Classes coming up this month include a chocolate cake class, a scarlett cake class and a zebra cake class.

For more information on classes head to their website www.trendsgifts.co.nz or like the Trends Gifts Facebook page.

By Robert JohnsonWellington swimmer Samantha

Lee has topped off a success-ful 12 months with a dominant display at the New Zealand short course swimming champs at the Kilbirnie Pool last week.

Lee, an AquaBlack and swim-mer at Wellington’s Capital club, blitzed the fi eld in the 200m but-terfl y with a time of 2min 12.08s.

After suffering a bad ankle injury in 2010 that kept her out of action for a while, Lee says the last 12-14 months have been great.

“It’s been really good to get back into it and despite the odd niggle here and there, I’m getting back to full fi tness.

“I’ve swam PB’s (personal best’s) in most of my races this year so I’m really happy with the season.”

Lee’s successes this year go much further than just New Zea-land, with an impressive outing at the World Championships in Barcelona back in July.

The meet was her first open international swimming competi-tion, where she swum a PB in the 200m butterfl y and fi nished 17th in the world.

“I was a little bit gutted I missed out on the semifinals by just one spot but it was such a great experience and I couldn’t ask for much better than swimming a PB,” she says.

“It was surreal to be competing there after watching it for years on TV as a youngster, it was fantastic.”

After her injury, Lee decided to try something different and go to Australia for six weeks to train, a move that she feels has contributed largely to her recent successes.

“I spent some time at Southport Swimming Club over there. They have six or seven Olympic swim-mers and great coaches so are quite well-known,” she says.

“During my time there, my pas-sion for swimming was rekindled and I learned a lot more about myself as well as some techniques I could bring back to my training here.”

The 21 year-old has always been at home in the water, taking part in ‘learn to swim’ from a young age and always “jumping into the pool with no fl oaties”.

Since she started swimming

Commonwealth focus for local swimmer

competitively at the age of 13, Lee has learned to juggle training and study to good effect.

“I’m studying biomedical sci-ence at Victoria [University] part-time to fi t in with training. You learn to keep on top of it all.”

Lee’s focus now shifts to the Commonwealth Games and next April’s trial races, where she will need to shave another two seconds off her PB to qualify for the 200m butterfl y event.

“I’ve cut four seconds off my

PB in the last six months so I’m confi dent with my training and form that I can get there,” she says.

And looking at her results over the past year, it would be hard to disagree with her.

The Wellington under-18s and under-20s have booked their place in this week's Hurricanes Youth Council division A fi nals.Wellington under-18s lined up against Manawatu under-18s in resounding fashion, 62-0 at Westpac Stadium.

Wellington's forwards completely dominated a decidedly smaller Manawatu team, stretching to a 38-0 halftime lead.Wellington captain Henry Stowers scored three tries and terrorised the Manawatu defence for most of the match.

In a tighter encounter, the under-20s scraped past Hawke's Bay 25-23 at Porirua Park.The home side had to endure a tense fi nal ten minutes after Hawke's Bay scored a converted try to sit just two points adrift, but held on to secure their fi nals spot.
