The collection is part of an eff ort to create a unique school mural, says parent Christine Barraud.Christine, who thought of the bottle cap mural idea, says the kids are very excited.“The parents like to help out with art projects and I wanted to try some-thing diff erent,” she says“The kid’s cousins in the States just did something similar and it looks really cool.” The mural, which will be designed and put together by the students next term, could be a sea motif or a message.“It will mainly be student led but with some adult help,” Christine says.“The kids just sort of run with it and they’re all very excited.”Teacher Michelle James says the

The month of July will be a quiet one for Mount Victoria resident Evan Bayly who

is taking on the challenge of not drinking alcohol for charity.

A very Dry July for Evanfree for a month to raise money for adults living with cancer.

Evan’s daughter first sug-gested the idea to him.

“My fi rst reaction was ‘well this will be hard’,” he says.

“I tend to drink at the week-end and there’re always beers at work on a Friday.

“I thought let’s try to do 31 days without it.”

With a target of $5,000 and almost $1,500 raised so far Evan is currently the top fundraiser in Wellington.

Friends currently undergo-ing cancer treatment were part of the reason he is taking part in the challenge.

“It’s a good cause and it’s a good thing for someone to do

personally anyway,” he says.“Unfortunately I have friends

to cancer, I have friends with it and I have lost family mem-bers.”

Evan says friends and family have already made some large donations including one of $600.

A week into the challenge, Evan says he is not hanging out for a drink at this stage.

Evan, who runs a web com-pany, says his son is helping him with a social media cam-paign to raise as much money as possible.

Sir Bob Jones, Graeme Hart and Julie Christie should watch their backs – Roseneath School students are out to make a buck.

The school held their an-nual market night last week after completing the Primary Enterprise Programme during term two.

From mini bow and arrows to flour balloon characters,

students chose what to make and sell on to family and friends.

Teacher Anne Crewdson says all the students at the school were involved in put-ting the night together.

“They’re learning fi nancial literacy and they’re learning to be innovative,” she says.

“This generation will have to be people who have to think about how they can make their own job opportunities.”

Not all the students are inter-ested in shopping, Anne says.

“Some of them are actu-ally quite good at saving their money and don’t like spending it all.”

Students and parents could convert New Zealand dollars into Roseneath dollars to pur-chase the homemade products.

Money raised from the even-ing will go towards handheld technology devices used for learning, Anne says.

Young salesman Max Tolve says market night is always really fun.

“Getting to make stuff and talking lots is fun,” he says.

Meanwhile Jai Gurr says he enjoys selling things.

“It’s just fun knowing that I have given somebody some-thing that they wanted,” Jai says.

Medea Gulow says staying up late at school is why she likes market night.

A decade ago Facebook was launched, the Olympics were held in Athens and Wellington Zoo became a charitable trust.

Wellington Zoo chief execu-tive Karen Fifi eld says it has been a great ten years for the Zoo.

“For the last ten years we’ve exceeded our visitor targets every year – and this year is no different,” Karen says.

“We have welcomed 227,434 visitors this year, more than 10,000 visitors, or 5%, ahead of target.

“This is a testament to the hard work our staff put in to ensure our visitors have a

fantastic animal rich experi-ence every time they come to the Zoo.”

She says a highlight of the past year included four Tasma-nian devils arriving at the Zoo in December.

“It’s very exciting to have them here and our visitors just love them.”

She says with the launch of the Wellington Warehouse Zoofari, 16 low-decile schools were able to come to the Zoo free of charge.

“We’ve achieved so much in the past year we are looking forward to an even bigger and better 2014 and 2015.”

With yeast, fl our and a pinch of salt in hand a pair of local bakers are on a mission to improve the quality of baking in Wellington.

New World Wellington City has recently completed a major upgrade of their baking equipment and ovens.

Bakery co-manager Jason Wnek, who has previously baked in Lon-don, says the new top-of-the-range French ovens have a good name in the industry for stone baking artisan breads.

“For us it’s the ability to be able to do traditional recipes using traditional, passionate techniques,” Jason says.

He says food should be a social

occasion.“New Zealanders are about eat-

ing their tea over the TV at 6 o’clock,” he says. “For me it’s about bringing the culture of food back to New Zealand.”

“I want to see people grabbing our fresh bread and going over to Oriental Parade.”

Bakery co-manager Joseph Jamal says he has a passion for French baking.

“I love to see the fi nished product on the shelf and a smile on the customer’s face,” he says.

“It’s not about water, yeast, salt and fl our to make breads, it’s an art.”

Jason says the bakery produces about 3,000 freshly baked items a day.

The Wellington Somali com-munity celebrated 54 years of their nation’s independence last week.

The event, organised by com-munity development manager Jawahir Ahmed, was about bringing the Somali community together on such a special day.

“This is a day that Somali peo-ple came to power and became a free country that is run by Somali people,” Jawahir says.

Music and free food were the highlight of the night as young Somalis danced to their native music.

“This was the first time we

had it at such a big stage and wanted all the community to come together and enjoy this day and most importantly I wanted to attract the youth,” Jawahir says.

Wellington mayor Celia Wade-Brown, MP Annette King and councillor Paul Eagle attended the event at Newtown Park hall.

Jawahir says the day would not have been possible without sponsorship from Wellington City Council, the Warehouse Lyall Bay, Miramar New World, Craig's Chemist and Love Cover Protect.

“It would have been impossi-ble without their contribution,” she says.

A craft shop in Kilbirnie is celebrating being in business for a year.

Co-owner of Metamorphosis on Coutts Street Jillian Lawrence says business is going well.

“We call it our little gem that’s hidden away,” she says.

“I love it. I enjoy the people contact and sourcing stuff to sell.

“We have such lovely people that come in here.”

She says it can take two years to establish a business in the community.

Jillian says she and co-owner Jo Gallagher make crafts to sell themselves and also have several local crafts people that supply them.

A local decorating business have brushed away their com-petitors and been named the merchant of the year by the Master Painters Association of New Zealand.

Owner of Guthrie Bowron Thorndon Quay David Archer says that he is deeply humbled the business was selected for the award.

“For the last 15 years my wife Christine and I have strived really hard to build a reputable decorating business in Wel-lington,” he says.

“As the only Independent and locally owned decorating busi-ness still operating in Welling-ton, to have this recognition, for the supply of quality product, advice, and service is fantastic.

David says his team deserve recognition for the outstanding service they provide every day to both trade and retail customers.

This is the sixth year the store has been nominated for the na-tional award by members of the Master Painters in Wellington and the second time they have won, beating about 250 other businesses nationwide.

Master Painters of New Zea-land CEO Brian Miller says Guthrie Bowron Thorndon Quay have a good track record for consistency and are an example of the professional standards that the association endeavours for.

President of Wellington Master Painters Mark Palmer

says the Guthrie Bowron team provide an incredible level of service, with special skills in colour, eye matching colours, paint and wallpapering.

David says it is an honour to win the award because the values of the Master Painters Association are important to him.

“Master Painters are about providing credibility for the industry.

“Quality product, workman-ship, guarantees, health and safety, good advice and com-petitive pricing and trust.

“Your house is your largest as-set for most people,” David says.

“Painting a house today is a large investment and tends to cost between $8,000 and

$30,000.” “So fi nding the best tradesman

is important. “The Master Painters provide

the standards to give my cus-tomers peace of mind.”

This year has been a success for Wellington Master Painters, collecting more awards than any other region including Master Painter of the Year 2014.

“I’m proud to be a part of it,” David says.

“The homeowners and land-lords of Wellington should feel especially privileged to know that the standard of workman-ship and professionalism in the Wellington Master Painters are some of the best in the country.

“This surely provides value for money.” P.B.A

Almost 100 kids from lo-cal schools came together last week to celebrate Matariki at Kilbirnie Library.

Matariki is the celebration of Maori New Year and has been marked with a number of local

festivities. Intermediate students from

Te Kura Kaupapa Maori o Nga Mokopuna performed a creation story play for their new entrant pairs from Lyall Bay and St Patricks Primary schools last week.

Florence Laigle from Kilbirnie

Library says the kids performed Ko Tane me te whanau marama na Moira Wairama.

“Having that story told by older children is good for the younger ones,” she says.

The story tells the tale of Tane who was saddened by the dark-ness of their father Ranginui so

Tane asked his younger brothers for their children to adorn the sky with light and beauty.”

“Matariki is a great celebration and it’s probably the most im-portant time in the Maori year.”

“There’s so much to learn about that celebration so it’s great to contribute to celebrating

this important event.”Florence says it is great the

kids involved have plenty of knowledge of Te reo.

“ I’m not a k iwi , I ’m a French lady so in my opinion biculturalism in New Zealand makes it a special place.”

A local playcentre have been busy preparing pieces of art to show parents and loved ones in their own exhibition.

Poly-High Community Child Care Centre in Mount Cook held a two day exhibition at Massey University last week.

Centre manager Sue Ransfi eld says she did not expect the exhibi-tion to turn out as well as it has.

“When the kids started painting we thought ‘wow this is amaz-

ing’,” she says.An artist visits the centre once

a week and has been helping the children prepare for the exhibi-tion.

Frames from op-shops, charcoal and screen printing were just some of the ways the children created their pieces.

“We just thought it would be time to share it with the families,” she says.

“They have been absolutely blown away by what they’ve seen.”

Sue says the children enjoy seeing their art on show and keep coming to look at it.

“Their faces just light up when they see it.”

Mia Hopkins, 4, says she liked doing art and she is proud of the butterfl y she created.

Art helps students express their emotions and develop their sen-sory skills, Sue says.

The centre may hold an art auc-tion for parents next year.

A decade of owning a local garage almost went unnoticed for mechanic Kevin Bovey.

The owner of Auto Care in Kil-birnie did not realise it had been ten years to the day since he bought his business until a staff member pointed it out.

“Sometimes we go ‘wow, have we been here that long’?” Kevin says.

“We have seen a lot of other peo-ple in the industry come and go.”

Kevin, who lives in Newlands, considers the business a long term

player in the community and says they are here to stay.

“In the 28 years I have been in the industry there have been some huge changes,” he says.

“The days of sitting down with a spanner in your hands have changed.”

He says Auto Care deal in any-thing from exotic cars to every day run-of-the-mill vehicles.

“I have a passion for the industry,” he says. “I was born and bred around motor vehicles.”

Kevin says if he does retire one day he will continue to tinker with

anything mechanical around the house.

Kevin’s daughter Sherie and son Stuart work in their Dad’s business and the three say they work well together.

“We are all very relaxed,” he says. “That’s important otherwise it would be like a war zone.”

Kevin says they have been in business for ten years because they are good operators with loyal customers.

“We really appreciate all the support we have had from our customers over the years.”

Playing the violin has been a life-long passion for busker Samantha Vaoga.

The Strathmore local can often be found on the streets of Kilbirnie playing for passers-by.

Samantha says she busks for the money, but it is also a good chance for her to practise the instrument that she has played for 25 years.

“It has always been in my life,” she says. “My mum bought me a violin for my fi fth birthday.”

“She had a friend who played the violin and I liked it so I asked my mum if I could start.”

Samantha says the response to her busking is mostly posi-

tive.“Once this guy said ‘one

goes and another one pops up’,” she says. “I don’t really care.”

Having grown up in Wel-lington, Samantha says she went to Wellington East Girls and Wellington High.

After giving birth to her daughter Lydia, Samantha says she did not play the violin for fi ve years.

She says she is enjoying being noticed around the community.

“I have met so many other buskers since I started, it is really nice.”

Samantha is currently play-ing in the Capital Performing Arts Orchestra and says they are always looking for violin-ists.

Dear Ed,Any new Wellington

convention centre is a governmental taxpayer project – not a civil rate-payer’s responsibility.

The reason why this gover nment cannot afford to fund a new convention centre in Wellington is because of the low tax.

No one is paying their full share but leach-ing off the countries resources and poor who pay the most.

The reason why this government will not fund a new convention centre in Wellington is because they want to do a deal-build where their wealthy cohorts can get in on the action.

The basic cost for a new convention centre in Wellington without any luxury hotel and casino is minimal and affordable.

But the greedy insti-gators want to deal-build a huge additional

hotel and casino wall blocking off the vistas and restricting access around that end of our waterfront.

A stand-alone Wel-l ing ton convent ion centre building would fi t easily on the land sec-tion without impinging upon our waterfront!

We do not need a new casino in Wellington!

Talking to family and friends it sounds like sprucing up the street was quite the adven-ture.

Well from what I have seen the main street is

absolutely stunning.Wide footpaths and

nice planting really give the area a nice relaxed feel.

Too of t en do we whinge about the in-convenience when such things are done.

We should be proud of our neighbourhood.

Almost 109 years after his death Dr Thomas Barnardo made a surprise appearance at his own birthday celebrations last week.

American actor KC Kelly, a Ber-hampore resident, dressed in full Victorian attire to celebrate Founders Day, the annual birthday celebration of Dr Barnardo.

Dr Barnardo, an Irishman, founded children’s charity Barnardos in 1870.

If he were alive today Dr Barnardo would be 169 years old.

KC, who has starred in the Fr ighteners and the Adventures of Swiss Family Robinson, says his own daughter used Barnardos services when she was a toddler.

“For me as a parent Barnardos were a great way of accessing information on children,” he says.

“It is nice to be part of this because they do such good work,” he says.

KC says when he and his wife contacted Barnardos they discov-ered people who are committed to childcare.

Playcentre is for families and for chil-dren. With local parents you help educate your community’s birth to school-age children and Playcentre educates you via free NZQA-approved courses. You are then part of the education team one morning a week.

As a Playcentre member you will also help run the centre. This may be anything from pet welfare officer to president. Helping manage your early-childhood-centre will give you new skills and confi dence. For some Playcentre parents this experience has changed their career

direction often into early-childhood teaching!

In addition, once your child is two-and-a-half they can attend Playcentre without you. Playcentre children are confi dent learners who build relationships with children and adults that last a life time. Playcentre parents/caregivers gain a community network that will provide them with fun and support long after their Playcentre time has fi nished.

Whanau tupu ngatahi - Families growing together

Spend your school holidays at ZEA-LANDIA and get to know the rare and endangered species that covered New Zealand a thousand years ago.

The ZEALANDIA School Holiday Programme is tailored for children ages 5 to 12 with a love for nature, getting outside, and mucking in to make a differ-ence. Each day has a different theme that will see children interact with wildlife, go behind the scenes with staff, and learn about the amazing species that call Aotearoa home – all while contributing to an ongoing conservation project.

Go on a Kids Night Adventure and experience the sights, sounds and smells of the sanctuary after dark. Children will search for kiwi foraging on the

forest fl oor, tuatara hunting for food and glow worms shining brightly all around. They’ll hear stories about nocturnal creatures over a hot chocolate in the forest while the high-pitch call of kiwi and the ghostly call of the ruru echo all around.

If you’re thinking of coming for a day trip, bring your binoculars and get your “bird nerd” on with the bird search work sheet. Get to know the birds you’re looking for in our world-class exhibition before setting off into the sanctuary in search of your favourite feathered friends.

We know when our children are sick. They go from be-ing active and alert to quiet, grumpy, sleepy, clingy and wanting more cuddles. Often they lose interest in food. The most common general signs of illness are fever, pain, vomiting, diarrhoea, cough, headache and rash. Fever (body temperature above 37°C) indicates that the body is ‘fi ghting’ infection from either bacteria or viruses. Chil-dren’s natural defence mecha-nisms are less well-developed than adults’ immune systems, so children are at higher risk of infections.

Fever accompanied by cough, runny or blocked nose and headache can signify the com-mon cold. “Ask us about our Children’s Pain & Fever fact card”, recommend Self Care pharmacists, “because this has a lot of helpful hints for looking after sick children. Also it indicates what other signs to look out for in children that indicate more serious ill-nesses.” Keeping your child comfortable in bed, giving plenty of fl uids, and using liquid medicines such as paracetamol or ibuprofen to reduce fever, are best when your child has a cold. “But” advice from Self Care pharmacists is “use proper medicine-measuring spoons when measuring-out doses of liquid medicines. Don’t use kitchen teaspoons because they are not accurate, the volume varies from spoon to spoon, and your child will not receive the correct dose of medicine.”

It is important to look out for sore throats in children as it can lead to Rheumatic Fever. This is a serious illness that affects mainly Maori and Pacifi c chil-dren and young people, aged four and above. Sore throats generally clear up by them-

selves but “strep” sore throats can lead to rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease which can be life threatening. It is important to check up children with sore throats so if they do have a “strep” sore throat they can be treated with antibiotics and stop the illness progressing any further. If you are unsure then get in touch with your doctor or your pharmacist.

Parents can encourage their children to take simple steps to help prevent the spread of some illnesses. Children should cov-er their mouths and noses when they sneeze and cough, and then wash their hands straight after. Washing hands is also VERY important after going to the toilet, and before eating. They should not share cups and drink bottles, nor spoons and other eating utensils. Tissues are best for blowing noses, and then they should be thrown away immediately.

Immunisation is generally one of the most effective ways

of protecting children against infections that can cause serious diseases and associated compli-cations (including death). All forms of immunisation work by causing the body to produce an immune response, in the same way it would if exposed to the disease but without the child suffering all the symptoms and consequences. In the future, when the child comes into contact with the disease, the im-mune system responds quickly and helps prevent the child developing the disease. The World Health organisation and the Ministry of Health recom-mend immunisation for your children. However there may be cases where it is not suitable to immunise and it is important to see your pharmacist or doctor regarding possible risks and/or contraindications. Children with asthma or allergies, or who are recovering from an illness, such as a common cold, can be immunised.

Free immunisation, at specifi c

times in a child’s life according to the Ministry of Health’s im-munisation schedule, is avail-able to all children in New Zealand, to protect against a number of diseases – diphthe-ria, haemophilus influenzae type b (a cause of childhood meningitis), pneumococcal disease, hepatitis B, measles, mumps, rubella, polio, tetanus and whooping cough. Side effects from vaccines can some-times occur and include redness and soreness at the injection site. There may also be mild fever. While these symptoms may be upsetting at the time, the benefi t is protection from the disease. More serious reactions to immunisation are very rare. Ask your Self Care pharmacists for a copy of the Children’s Illnesses and Children’s Pain & Fever fact cards that contains useful information for parents.Prepared by Pharmacy Self Care, Pharmaceutical Society of New Zealand, PO Box 11640, Wellington.

As the Football World Cup is played out in Brazil to millions of viewers throughout the world, our own local football scene is heating up.

A crowd of more than 200 showed up to Wakefi eld Park on Saturday June 28 to watch the Island Bay United premier side beat the Miramar Rangers.

The 3-2 victory was a surprise to spectators as the Rangers are four-time ASB Chatham Cup champions.

Island Bay United assistant coach Poasa Tu-buna says the side’s discipline and confi dence gave them the win.

“It was a great win for us,” he says. “It was a great feeling at the club. Everyone was happy.”

“Miramar is one of the giants in New Zealand.”

Island Bay sits seventh in the Capital Pre-mier League competition, a division below central league leaders Miramar.

Henry Fa’arodo put the Rangers ahead after 13 minutes but Island Bay fought back.

Goals from Facundo Barbero and Callum Holmes put Island Bay ahead 2-1 at halftime. A goal from Miramar’s Patrick Fleming took the score to 2-2 in the 59th minute.

Luciano Colucci’s goal 19 minutes from full-time sealed the win for Island Bay.

Poasa says the team’s next game for the Chatham Cup will be a quarter fi nal against Napier at Wakefi eld Park on July 26.

“For us as a club and as a team it’s a big challenge,” he says. “We’re not going to sit on our laurels.”

The North Island wheelchair basketball championships were held in Wellington during the weekend.

Teams from throughout New Zealand travelled to Wellington for the competition, with the winner taking home a trophy.

Catriona McBean from Par-afed Wellington says it is always a hard fought competition be-tween the teams.

“They have been training since February for this,” she says.

“Because of the numbers around they don’t get to play tournaments all the time.”

The fact the players are in wheelchairs is irrelevant when they hit the court, Catriona says.

“Just because some of them have limited movement doesn’t mean it’s less of a team sport.”

The ASB Sports Centre is a good venue for this the event, Catriona says.

“This is a brilliant venue for hosting this sort of event because of the location to the airport and the facilities that are here.”

The National Wheelchair Bas-ketball Championships will be held in Auckland in September.

The winner of the North Island competition was not known when the Cook Strait News went to print. The result will be published next week.
